Singles have broken mons

[frosty mist]

Ok, I’m noob but I’ve tried to play competitive for a while and I’ve been stucked at rank 7 for many days.

I noticed certain mons just be so versatile and broken, and In particular Garganacl tera ghost. So I got mine shiny maxed SpDef and Hp, got immunity to status ability.

Basically Garganacl against a lot of meta teams is broken, and you can solo the whole opponent team just switching him with another tanky like amoonguss or a versatile moveset dragon like dragonair.

Ghost is making him immune to fight and less vulnerable to iron types like gholdengo meanwhile they take x2 dmg from salt each turn.

A lot of players could also try to use an earthquake but you can just use protect to see if this is the case to switch next turn with dragonair (immune) and quickly burst them.

Or just using amoonguss to sleep enemies and with its hidden ability keep switching to mantain him full hp (1/3 hp healing switching out).

I wouldn’t call this tactic braindead but I’ve reached almost rank 11 without losing anymore (literally 0 losses with Garganacl).

I know that really good players could easily break my team, but I’m just pointing out that for average players like me a pokemon like Garganacl tera Ghost is literally doing everything.

Any advice is welcome to improve!

My actual team:

Dragapult
Volcarona
Gholdengo
Dragonair
Amoonguss
Graganacl

Add a mon with setups/terrain hazards like tailwind/baton pass/ spikes webs and such cause itll buff your team up real smooth

Thats pretty nice, i am just repeating what i know is mainsteam among good teams in comp. Anyway does your goldengo have make it rain?

[frosty mist]

Yup

But My gholdengo is bad probably I made it to solo raids so not really pvp, I use it only when is in a really good spot

[reef elk]

I would try adding a Pokémon that uses taunt so his only option is salt cure. Also if ghost Garganacl is a problem try a dark type like hydregion and use choice specs dark pulse or something even if they switch its big damage

To be fair doubles is the main format for comp not singles. Official tournaments and the like are always doubles.
