you might have problems with charm flutter, depending on how valiant works out
eternal otter
I would run more bulk on the valiant and consider mental herb bellibolt instead
For a better valiant mu

I did not see that team get posted oops
is there a good reason to run discharge over tbolt on bellibolt?
and ye mental herb belli for sure
slow mica
balls
slow mica
https://pokepast.es/489cd41299f09f2a
On Bellibolt I recommend Thunder over Discharge
Ye run this set
Mental Herb can probably be swapped for Sitrus Berry but beating Iron Valiant is also cool, Donphan as well
For Iron Valiant I also recommend running bulk, you scan find the sets in the set compendium
The team is good, I think you will struggle against Reflect Gholdengo but I’m honestly not sure about the mu versus Band Donphan
👍
tropic zodiac
@slow mica why thunder
I tend to run uh
Soak thunderbolt parabolic charge slackoff
slow mica
The guaranteed dmg makes it better, there’s a reason for it but I honestly don’t know
Something something maybe Chi-Yu?

nothing more guaranteed than 100% accuracy

You get folded by fast Iron Bundle, it typically happens with FWG cores or a similar version of it like this team. You also lose to Dragapult and Gholdengo too. Iron Head is a good choice on Corviknight so you don’t lose to Flutter Mane but Body Press makes you lose out on killing other mons, Protect on Corvi is also useless.
signal pendant
protect beats valiant on corvi. i think meow and dirge cover ghold since dirge beats reflect and meow beats specs
empty magnet
might struggle into Arcanine
ruby sentinel
if you make meow adamant itll functionally beat all ghold (knock is like an 80% roll). id recommend swapping corv out for maybe av gholdengo? which should patch up the iffy pult/bundle/flutter mane mus

good enough 👍
also if you drop encore for slack off on dirge your arc mu is fine, arc has no way of meaningfully hitting dirge

hi, first thing is that tera is banned in 1v1
young merlin
yeah tera is banned, maushold isnt the best mon asw
this struggles with physdef mons like dondozo
asw as special attackers like iron bundle
struggles in general vs top threats (ape, meow, flutter)
ruby sentinel
those 3 are generally pretty niche mons, maushold especially is extremely niche bordering on unviable
i would recommend just picking one you really like and building a team around that mon
like for example if you really wanted to build around maushold you would want to partner it with smth that can both handle ghosts and very physically bulky mons
cb meowscarada would work pretty well there
or some kind of gholdengo

it looks like it struggles vs skeledirge

corvi and breloom often feel like they beat the same things
also, yeah, dirge and arc have been problems

which one out of breloom and corv do you find yourself clicking more?

loom, although that may just be because I want to use it

you are losing to every ghost type that is good in the tier right now..

tropic zodiac
didn't someone use a swalot in a game during last PL
azure hearth
electrode and maushold are just placeholders tbh
I would suggest replacing both, then
Building around grumpig is VERY uncommon but maybe we can make it work if that’s the dream

To pick there are a lot of different styles on ladder and theres abt 3:
Picking 2-0
Picking around your bait
Picking around what you are 2-0ed by

iron valiant can
use disable against choice mons
encore some mons and then disable
which forces them to use the move struggle
