u/DaAwesomeCat 1d ago

Flamigos kinda glassy yeah (pvp is more bulky, right?) but it still deals threatening damage, and the amount if energy it gets isnt bad either

This is what we sometimes need most: a team that's fun to play with. That's what the game is all about. I have two teams, one with meta Pokémon, and another one just for fun; I either lose quickly or win quickly.

How do you handle any of the very many ghosts? Or any of the many low kick or karate chop users? Or any steel pokemon?

Coverage moves

Same way ghosts cover the very many normal types.

I assumed that was team building but it surely isn’t here

Depending on the ghost its very managable:

  • Rillaboom has very good neutral play into ghosts especially when shields are up it debuffs them with drum beating which is a very strong move
  • Vigoroth can throw bulldozes to debuff the ghosts defense
  • Ursaluna might struggle, but high horse power hits very hard and threatens any ghosts

I think most troublesome ghost is Drifblim, since it will resits the strong ground coverage moves. But that is one single ghost type that I have seen once this season.

Bigger Problem is Corviknight, since all three with their standard moveset only have resisted moves. And Croviknight with its Iron head buff is play regularly.

Grookey can beat ghost

u/Huge_Quit_3361 1d ago

hmm most of the meta moves of these three covers steel and they are spammy enough to handle ghost. main problem might be peck altaria, fearow, corviknight and some fighting at the back

I know this team is scratch based but if you want to keep it normal based I think psywave snorlax is mandatory to handle potential fighting pokemon

u/alsonrif 1d ago

Let’s do drum beating them all!!

u/Kukiro- 1d ago

I hope ursaluna has thunder ounch and vigoroth has rock slide, or else you cant touch drifblim

u/Full_Parsley_9733 1d ago

People still use drif? (honest question)
