Me and my gf will meet a group of nerdy friends that are into Pokémon next sunday. Would you help me constructing a team around mega Pidgeot?

I run him with Hyper Beam, no Roost.

Please give me some help. What are some Pokémon that can support Pidgeot?

I rather kill and die the next turn, than trying to recover health and get killed by the thing i was trying to kill.

Ok, just thought of one but it's really rough

Mega Pidgeot - Suirice lead
Cradili - Steal Rocks
Sylveon - USefull to break through walls
Magnezone - Trapper and fast Volt Switches
Conkeldurr - Status sponge and packs a punch
Tentacruel - Rapid Spin

Is this ballanced?

ditch hyper beam
you don't want your opponent to have a free setup, ever

>>22904911
in response to this
you rather have a move that you'll need than never use
than not having the move and needing it
there are plenty of opportunities that roost would benefit
i.e. in case opponent uses sucker punch, opponent sets up swords/spikes/etc, switches, pidgeot being hit by a non effective hit

as far as a team use your favorite pokemon and be very un predictable, as in don't always stick to smogon

ohh, good point. Totally forgot about that.

The rest of the post convinced me to change to Roost. Thanks.

What about my team?

Kind of my favorite, plus it can recover and be immune to water moves.

I don't think Skarmory would fit this team as it would just add another weakness to Electric.

Suicide leading with a mega is dumb unless it's already stupid fast. You don't get the speed boost the turn you mega.

The fuck were you thinking. Pidgeot needs Roost, and definitely needs a spinner for hazards to try to stay alive as long as possible. Pidgeot's stab is shit, but Hurricane can hurt enough. Consider Excadrill to clear the field?

aside from Pidgeot and tentacruel
the rest of your team is very slow in comparison to pokemon that everyone uses
so a Trick Room wouldn't be bad, I use a Thunder Wave Bold Rocky Helmet Slowbro and slows down everything, giving it the right EVs makes it capable of taking 2 special super effective hits and 3 physical super effective hits most the time

some things to add to your team
a prankster taunt, priority taunt is great for any battle
and at least 1 or 2 pokemon with high priority attacks
I can't tell you how many game came down to priority, aqua jet, extreeme speed, fake out are all great moves for any team

Go with Roost. Hyper Beam doesn't do enough damage to justify skipping a turn. It's for PvE, not PvP.

I had my scarf busy on Magnezone, but i might consider it alright.

>>22905082
Which in case I'm dropping that Tentacruel for a Rocky Helmet Slowbro.

As for priority attacks, i think Conkeldurr fits the bill. Should i use a Scizor/ Brelom instead?

I'm not really sure about taunt.

No. This makes literally zero sense. Like I get using your bromons in competitive because they're your bros but you can at least give them something to work with here.

taunt shuts down recover, stat boosting, hazards
prankster means that no one can outspeed the taunt

for slowbro I use Thunder wave, scald for 30% burn, ice beam for dragons, slack off for heal

scizor can be a good life orb user with swords dance, roost and bullet punch priority
breloom has 2 great abilities quick feet/toxic orb and poison heal/toxic orb
quick feet grants extra speed and no damage dealt from toxic orb
poison heal is self explanatory
drain punch, spore, and mach punch are the best moves

OK op I'm gonna assume no legends because cart.
Do your friends play smogon rules or not?
Do you really want to use mega pidgeot?
Any other stuff you really want?
How are you gonna obtain the Pokemon?

I can make you a based team because I'm the based teambuilder of /vp/ tried and true.

Ok, so,

Cradily
M-Pidgeot
Sylveon
Slowbro
Scizor
and Thundurus

Dropping the Exacrill/Spinner for a reliable taunter.

Is it alright now?

Some use smogon, but they play mostly by the VGC rules.

As for how i will get the Pokémon, this is a fairly easy team to breed. Thundurus is the one that will require a bit more patience.

O-ok

But then my options shrunk considerably. I might not even use a taunter anymore.

No breloom doesn't have quick feet.

It has effect spore(useless), poison heal(meh when compared to:) technician,(best ability)

Either you can do bulk up poison heal with drain punch and stuff, sub punch or with technician with SD or rock tomb/focus punch.

Spore is pretty much mandatory as its one of the best moves in the game.

Assuming this is on-cart:
Honestly OP if you're at the level where you think Hyper Beam is good then even if we build you a good team you're going to struggle to build it due to cart limitations and have even more trouble playing it

Just play with you're favorites, you'll have more fun than trying to scramble together a team built by anons with things you don't understand how they work or why they're there, even if they're better than what you'd be playing with.

Alternatively, if you're playing on Showdown:
There are a bunch of people that can throw teams at you.

Are you fucking serious? All these Pokémon are easy peasy to obtain on cart.

I think i can manage. I know how to make one prediction or two when required.

Right now I'm just testing the team.
