normal plank Mar 19, 2026, 3:15 PM

#

I suppose Quagless

#

luretta is just better than that primape

#

also you might wanna get a defogger or spinner because your whole team hates rocks

late leaf Mar 19, 2026, 3:16 PM

#

This is my team in the game too that's why I'm running it lol

#

Yeah was also noticing that

#

What about Articuno?

late leaf Mar 19, 2026, 3:18 PM

What's bad about it tho?

Other than it not being ice type

normal plank Mar 19, 2026, 3:18 PM

normal plank Mar 19, 2026, 3:19 PM

#

late leaf What's bad about it tho?

it's too slow to get veil off most of the time

#

at least run speed evs

late leaf Mar 19, 2026, 3:19 PM

#

That's why Its bulky is it that likely to get one shot?

#

I guess if it was ice type it'd be better off

gimmick seems too easily disrupted by follow me, id rather have a regular bruxish paired with something like speed boost sd

wet obsidian Mar 25, 2026, 10:26 PM

#

Didn't realise follow me redirected moves against your own teammate, lesson learned lol

wet obsidian Mar 25, 2026, 10:54 PM

#

The other way I can get an anger point off is chansey fused with absol/togekiss with lucky glove and super luck, and using extreme speed or feint. But they need to be faster than a follow me opponent because all those moves are +2 priority, and I lose dazzling. It's a tough one and obvs super gimmicky

quiet salmon Mar 26, 2026, 6:58 AM

ndag basically requires the stats of legends mons bc otherwise you do no damage and take too much damage

What is ndag?

desert crypt Mar 28, 2026, 12:18 AM

Oh, Natdex

desert crypt Mar 28, 2026, 2:29 AM

#

What changes would you recommend for the team?

quiet salmon Mar 28, 2026, 3:48 AM

#

theres a lot to change to be viable into the meta but uhhhhhh

#

ig starting with binja shedinjas usually want to have access to endeavor bc you instantly set the opp to 1 hp

#

personally i use mabosstiff bc it also has pain split in case of spiky shield/rocky helmet but you can also go houndoom/honchrkow since they have a sprite

#

Ability: Wonder Guard  
Tera Type: Poison  
Fusion: Shedinja  
EVs: 252 Atk  
Brave Nature  
IVs: 0 Def / 0 SpD / 0 Spe  
- Endeavor  
- Shadow Sneak  
- Spirit Shackle  
- Will-O-Wisp```
something like this

#

tera poison to be immune to toxic/fairy moves

#

next id change gliscor snorlax to gliscor regigigas bc it has way more stats

#

Ability: Poison Heal  
Tera Type: Normal  
Fusion: Regigigas  
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe  
Jolly Nature  
- Facade  
- Earthquake  
- Toxic / Knock Off  
- Spikes```
good spiker to beat sheds, toxic hits them besides bug steel while knock can remove hdb from other mons

#

i like the idea with drill but it needs stats so im thinking something like this ```Zekceus (Zekrom) @ Pixie Plate
Ability: Teravolt
Tera Type: Water
Fusion: Arceus-Fairy
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk

Judgment
Will-O-Wisp
Stealth Rock
Recover```
to bypass bouncers and hit shed with also

#

rotom just doesnt have the stats to do stuff and with the zekrom we have a wisp user so blissey hatterene is a good pick to support shed by bouncing hazards and status ```Blisrene (Blissey) (F) @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Magic Bounce
Tera Type: Steel
Fusion: Hatterene
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD
Sassy Nature
IVs: 0 Atk / 0 Spe

Alluring Voice
Wish
Soft-Boiled
Teleport```

#

garia similarly doesnt do enough dmg so a good revenge killer is chansey ditto since it can transform into the opp but with 182 max hp and +1 from eviolite ```Chanto (Chansey) @ Eviolite
Ability: Imposter
Tera Type: Steel
Fusion: Ditto
Alt: a
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD
Careful Nature
IVs: 1 Atk

Transform
Teleport
Seismic Toss
Soft-Boiled```

#

finally a better mg user in blacephalon alakazam since it gets access to recoil free midn blown ```Blacekazam (Blacephalon) @ Life Orb
Ability: Magic Guard
Tera Type: Fire
Fusion: Alakazam
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature

Mind Blown
Psyshock
Knock Off
Nasty Plot / Energy Ball / Encore / idk like taunt```

something like gliscor golisopod and registeel moltres

manual weather can be very fun to run, though I'd recommend running the weather setting move on a bulky pivot instead, so that you can then have a super awesome sand abuser and switch into it

#

e.g. the most popular manual sun team had sunny day toxapex + umbreon

Hmm... first bulky sand immune mon that comes to mind would be Metagross
