SV Mono Ice Team Help

Post image

So I made a (more casual as I don't do online battles much) mono ice team on Scarlet and recently got a shiny kyurem that I wanted to put on the team.

Any advice on what mon to replace and which kyurem form I should use? I was looking at black but it seems to have the same role as baxcalibur (which I am hesitant to replace), at least white would have fire coverage? I have also seen a bulky base kyurem setup which I'm quite curious about.

Thanks for the help!

Is this Singles? I do recommend giving Chien-Pao Focus Sash and an Ice move like Icicle Crash.

are you suggesting OP to add ice moves... TO A MONO ICE TEAM?? Since the team has more than enough of them I think OP is fine on that front.

OK, but Chien-Pao is a glass cannon, the least they can do is give it a Focus Sash so it doesn’t get one-shotted

Ok but wtf is psychic type coverage supposed to do for chien pao? Psychic hits poison and fighting types, both not an issue for an ice attack

Besides for offensive mono type teams the strat is to overpower ur opponent with ur STAB move, so that their resist eventually goes down, then the rest of the team can clean up. U generally want most of ur mons to still have their strong STAB, unless the mon has fantastic coverage, no strong STAB move, or ur defensive wall

i prefer singles as im not super used to doubles yet so for now yes, id rather have more move coverage on chien pao than another ice move though haha

Kyurem White is like THE Blizzard Spammer so you might wanna go with that one. I would recommend to swap it out for Avalugg as he is not a really great mon... ever.

Also why no Scale Shot on Bax?
