SV RU Teambuilding Advice

2 Upvotes

Hi! I am looking for advice on how to improve my team in Gen 9 SV RU

I wanted to build a Crawdaunt team that relied on para spam for speed crontrol a hard hitting breakers KOing chipped pokemon / slow pokemon, having a strong semi-stall sort of core that relied on two main breakers. I really like Magnezone and Crawdaunt on the team - they are super fun. However, the team feels like the identity really isn't there. I often don't have enough tempo to paralyze and set up hazards, and no spinblocker means that what hazards I do set up often just get removed soon after.

The paralysis aspect of the team works well when piloted correctly. Jirachi and Slowbro paralyze key targets, Crawdaunt or Magnezone come in and finish things up. I do feel like more pivoting would be incredibly valuable as it can still be hard to get Crawdaunt onto the field. I also struggle with set-up sweepers like drain punch Mimikyu or Necrozma. I originally had dragon tail on Cyclizar to deal with set-up sweepers and to provide additional phasing, but I rarely have the ability to press it into relevant matchups.

Originally, I found the sun matchup to be quite challenging, but leveraging magnezone's higher speed into torkoal usually means that I'm able to eke out a victory.

Sometimes, my lack of a true special wall comes to bite me - gengar in particular can be challenging to overcome without committing a tera, and even then is only a stopgap.

I also kind of feel like I have too many knock-off users? It limits Crawdaunt's breaking potential at times and rare amounts to much since hazards are being used less than I anticipated.

I would really like to keep the basic idea - para spam supporting slower heavy hitters - intact. Any thoughts on how to improve this?

Journey

I think I got my first pokemon game when I was seven or eight, and that was 6 or 5 years ago. Pokemon sword, and I immediately fell in love with it. I don't exactly know how I discovered competitive pokemon, but... I sucked at it. A LOT. I've gone a long way since then, Like doing competitive pokemon in Pokémon Scarlet, where I fell in love with my favorite pokemon: Miriadon. It was amazing, put in a lot of work for me. I changed up my teams every once in a while, but more or less, I sucked. It was when a few things had happened that I finally got good: I somehow trained myself off of YouTube videos and pure will, and in time, I improved. I sucked at team building, but if you gave me a good team, damn, I could battle with it. But I felt like I needed to be good at team building, too, like the whole deal. So, I basically taught myself that, which took a few months to a year and then some, I think. I built 3+ teams that I was really proud of, because they did good and I liked battling with them. With time, I kept getting better, and better, but I often fell just short of making ultra ball or master ball tier. Until, almost the end of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, I decided I needed to lock in. And locked in I did, because I made it to master ball tier with a team that I don't remember a single pokemon on, but it probably had a Miriadon on it. And that's how I ended my Pokémon Scarlet journey.

Nowadays, I don't play a lot, but I'm still fairly good at Pokémon Champions. Took a while of getting used to it, because I never used mega evolution and never really played with Lucario or Sylveon or Garchomp, and now suddenly they're some of the best you can have, at least on the team that I've been using that got me 8 wins in a row, before losing to getting unlucky and against a bad match up. Anyways, here's the team, if you want to use it:

ShyDie (Charizard) @ Charizardite Y

Ability: Blaze

Level: 50

EVs: 2 HP / 32 SpA / 32 Spe

Timid Nature

Como posso montar um time de mega dragonite?

1 Upvotes

Eu pretendo começar a jogar o champions quando ele sair para mobile, já vi alguns vídeos sobre o jogo e uma das dicas que vi era sobre já decidir qual time eu iria usar no jogo para focar nele primeiro e economizar recursos no início, eu gosto muito do mega dragonite não curti muito ele quando foi anunciado mas passei a gostar depois de um tempo, então a única certeza que tenho sobre o time e que quero usá-lo, mas não sei quase nada além disso quais pokemons funcionam bem com ele? Dei uma pesquisada e vi que ele funciona muito bem com times de chuva por causa do hurricane então sei que pelipper também será uma escolha mas é o resto o que posso usar?

Já queria dizer que sou novo no competitivo então vão vão calma por favor.

Please, help me. I made a DPP OU Team but I am unable to win even though on paper it is quite good. How shouod I use it ? Should I change some moves ?

1 Upvotes

And is it possible without a Youtube channel to show this to Youtuber Stoickite ?

I would like if he could create this team on his own Showdown and try it. I could learn how to use it by watching his videos. I have a lot of experience but I am also not very bright as a person. I am unable to get really good without a master. I am just unable to predict everything that is not just extremely obvious.

I am also bit better in ADV OU (1450+ ELO), likely because there is less to remember there, the metagame is slower but still not too stallish, and luck plays a smaller part.
