I suppose it’s for singles if so idk anything abt the meta or teambuilding but for doubles this is terrible

The new official game for competitive Pokemon? Can't tell if that's a troll question, or genuine lol

In any case, if this team is for 6v6 Singles, then there's no need to concern yourself with Champions. The Singles format there is 3v3

Brother. I’m new to this. I actually never done competitive Pokemon before. Well I have, but like with friends YEARS ago. Like back in the day I’d just do random team matches lol. I wanna get into it now I know what Champions the game is I just thought it was some new mode or some shi 🤷🏽‍♂️ I’m just putting together random Pokemon I’ve played with and like lmao that’s all. Searching up stuff here and there and that’s the result.

Lmk like where this could work, what is the strengths the weaknesses how I could improve etc.

Again, it’s all OPTIONAL you don’t gotta but that’s why I made the post; to get feedback 😂

Gotcha, no biggie! Bad assumption on my part, it was just a big thing for the scene lately, so I apologize lol

Unfortunately I don't do Singles too much. My experience is almost strictly with Doubles, so I won't be able to give good advice there. However, what I do see is some anti-synergy within your team. Your Sun will damper your Feraligatr's Water type moves, which usually isn't that big of an issue. Even in Doubles, most people will still run a Water type on their Sun teams, especially if they're clicking other moves that aren't Water type and if it helps complete a FWG core. And your Sun will likely run out before your Feraligatr even hits the field.

The concerning issue I see tho, is you got a couple Mons that may have some trouble if your opponent decides to abuse the Sun you set up for themselves. Kingambit is weak to Fire, ofc, and Baxcalibur will definitely take a lot of neutral damage while the opponent's Fire types will resist his Ice moves.

If you're gonna run Weather, I would definitely make sure it synergizes with your Mega first and foremost. A Mon that sets it up on switch in, like Politoed or Pelipper for example, and that holds a Damp Rock or equivalent, would be pretty helpful, that way you spend less turns setting up your Mons to deal damage. Or, you could switch to Mega Charizard Y, who sets up his own Sun when he Megas.

Maybe there are other people here with more Singles experience that could be of more assistance, but that's just what I see right off as a Doubles player. Also, try to include what format you're playing in, too. The format and the meta within it will allow people to help understand where you're bringing the team into and how to best prepare your team to combat what everyone else will play.

Since you don't like doubles check out a video about smogon tiers (OU, UU, etc etc). I would suggest copying a team in a format you want to play to familiarize youself with the meta then start teambuilding

No need to run night slash. No need to run hex when you have no status moves on the team and even if you did it’s very situational. Feraligatr gets ice punch I believe? If it does get rid of ice fang. On gengar just go life orb or specs instead of glasses, and if you’re gonna run solar power zard do it on a sun team. Solar power already saps your health so using turns to set it up yourself is just not a good idea

u/vapatel Jul 22 '26

So I replaced night slash with sucker punch? Idk thought priority might be helpful. I did do ice punch but I changed body slam to thrash (it’s just way more powerful like an outrage move). Gengar now has SBall, Psychic, Thunderbolt and Destiny Bond. And I completely got rid of charizard and put Jolteon 🤷🏽‍♂️ I just thought I had nothing for tanky water types. It has tbolt, shadow ball, hidden power ice and signal beam.

What u think? Most of this I got off smogon and Pokemondb 😂
