>>52821087I'm not using any paradox mon. It's just fucking rough, your options are Masquerain with Defiant running rampant and barely any use for hazards in VGC, Lokix which is cool and does a truckload of damage but needs Banded First Impression and momentum switching (which won't do well in doubles). Defensively you have Foretress which I like, but gets fucked by any stray ember and Rabsca for spdef (which I haven't tried). You can make it work on singles, but definitely not in doubles.
For instance in mono-types doing well, I just fucked a Armarouge, Garchomp, Annihilape and Corviknight guy.
I used Klefki (turn 1 reflect then died to armor cannon), Hattrene (turn 1 Trick Room into Life Dew), Dachsbun (came in klefki's slot) and had Sylveon in the back.
Armarouge was choiced into Armor Cannon, from what I could tell, and the dude went for my Dachsbun (didn't know about the ability) probably thinking that a 65~70% Hat would survive based on bulk alone. After that I tera'd the doggo into Steel and Garchomp was doing 10~15% with Earthquakes before he went to sleep. Had the Hat on cleric duty and the +2 doggo swept. Took like 3% off a Corvi body press while Steel type and 2-shot it.
>>52821076No, but in doubles its not that needed. For 6v6 singles sure, it's better for momentum.
