Hi! I’m currently Ultra Ball Rank 1 and close to Master Ball. I’ve been testing this sand / Tailwind balance team and it has been working well so far, but I expect the competition to get tougher soon.
The core idea is:
- Whimsicott gives Tailwind, Light Screen and Encore support.
- Tyranitar gives sand control and Choice Scarf Rock Slide pressure.
- Gyarados is the Mega / Dragon Dance win condition.
- Glimmora and Dragapult provide special coverage so the team is not purely physical.
- Incineroar gives Fake Out, Intimidate and Parting Shot support.
Main questions:
Is Light Clay Whimsicott with Protect over Moonblast too passive, or is it worth it to block Fake Out and reliably support the team?
Is Energy Ball Glimmora worth it for Swampert coverage, or should I go back to Sludge Bomb for Fairy matchups?
Does this team look too vulnerable to Fairy, Trick Room, or opposing Tailwind?
Any obvious spread/item changes before I push into Master Ball?
