QotT: Spectrier+Dracovish team destroyed me on ladder the other day. Scary stuff.

Rillaboom is as strong as ever, huh?

Spectrier was LO AFAIR and simply clicked max phantasm which powered up Scarf Vishes Fishous Rends. I dont remember what the other mons were. It seems it has better synergy than Pult+Vish due to the lack of shared weaknesses.

It’s apperentely a top 10 usage mon right now but desu I’m not seeing it nearly as much as Kartana. Lots of teams still appreciate its terrain+strong priority combo.

Supp genies can't really do much about it and offense genies can't really leave it alone so the partner has some leeway
I mean I'm not gonna say it's anywhere near perfect, but it was cool seeing it

Speaking of Sup Genies, Sup Thundy is insane. Fucking Eerie Impulse gives it answers to dealing with even Regieleki. Slap Twave on it and you can deal with any special attacker, like the trending Coalossal/Blasephalon lead.

Gigas+Weezing is actually surprisingly effective as long as you have other options available in your team, so many mons and strats are dependent on abilities.it's crazy.

Still pretty good. It gets some competition from Kartana but Fake Out utility and Grassy Terrain support is a unique niche for boom and it's worth considering.

Anyone else running Regirock? This thing shits all over a lot of high-level threats, and Sand+Max Quake boosts/Drain Punch make it unkillable.

Is there a way to get a VGC legal tailwind zapdos? I remember you used to in USUM but for some reason I can't figure out how in SWSH.

Been thinking of making a rain team. Any advice?
For a starting core I was thinking about two options:
>Politoed+Ludicolo+Metagross+Landorus
>Politoed+Kingdra+Kartana+Landorus
Which is better? Thoughts on teammates? Got a better rain team I could just use instead?

Hed need the move tutor in usum, theres no other way. As you know vgc movesets are locked to current gen, which is why the battle marks exist.

I also wanted to use Ludicolo. Think of it this way, Ludi and Kingdra have no shared weaknesses, but both function as special attackers in the rain. One has Fake Out and Grass coverage, the other has Airstream options. Both have fair bulk but very moderate power.
Ill say this, Ludicolo with hsi coverage is a great Pokemon to put an Expert Belt on. Honestly though try one set and if it doesnt work try the other. Depending on how big fairies are in this meta will probably make or break Kingdra's chances.

You can choose 4 from a team of 6.
Bring all of them and change which ones you pick based on what your opponent has.

>Legendaries everywhere
Is this any way to make a team that doesn't use legendaries? I'm sick of the top Pokemon being all legendaries.

To ignore all the tools at your disposal will shoot you in the foot. Create a team combo that focuses on non legends but have it accompanied by solid mons. Perhaps a Cinderace or Rillaboom supported by a legend like Lando or Heatran.

I want something else in the other two slots. If I brought that 6 specifically my team would have pretty big holes.

I've seen people use Tornadus prankster rain dance to pretty good effect as an alternate to Politoed, lame as it is.

Excadrill, Ttar, Dracovish as a core gets you 3 solid non-legendary Pokemon and then you can throw support behind them or something.
