  • in my opinion i would say whimsacott because its the worst out of all of them

  • nah, i personally think it one of the best tailwind setters, also being able to prevent protects from the opponent with encore, and preventing recovers and trickrooms with taunt, its really good, especially for my team

  • Pheormosa

  • I kinda think Snorlax is reasonable to be replaced. As a sweeper u have Pheromosa, and if ur using it for a more defensive role, Milotic, Whimsicott, and possibly Arcanine. Note you are getting this from a Smogon battler that has almost no experience with VGC format

  • I would not replace pheramosa because have it hold a life orb and that thing is dangerous it is a major sweeper with a life or

  • snorlax is my only answer to trick room so i cant replace that, also pheromosa is Amazing against porygon 2, snorlax, and kartana which can be major threats from my team, fini is there to prevent my physical attackers from being burned or paralyzed, and from my tanks being poisoned. so the only to options in my opinion is milotic, or arcanine

  • May I ask how common Trick Room teams are in VGC? As a Smogon battler, I'm not too sure on how viable Trick Room is in VGC

  • well milotic can be a sweeper aswell, and arcanine. milotic has a good-ish move set so maybe Milotic? (cont.) Arcanine can learn moves like fire spin which last awhile and extreme speed goes first and i believe the faster the user the more damage. Arcanine can have really high Super defense and defense but also really high speed and attack and special attack, so i wouldn't remove it.

  • Very common, almost half of the teams i run into have some sort of trick room component

  • milotic has high speed but pretty low defense from what i know.

  • Well, arcanine is faster than milotic, but milotics main use is to prevent opposing arcanines, or any intimidate pokemon from being brought in, so i can sweep with pheromosa or snorlax under trick room

  • Then replace Arcanine. If you're that worried about Intimidate leads/switch-ins, Milotic helps your team more.

  • I'm also just a Smogon player, but that's my take on it. I do understand, to some degree, how VGC works, though.

  • Milotic only has a base 81 speed, which is unfortunately a very bad speed spot with or without Trick Room teams being fought against. But it is a punisher with stat lowering moves and abilities such as Intimidate and Defog (if entry hazards are viable in VGC that is :P)

  • Speaking of arcanine, master k, your request is done. Let me know when you're all ready to go.
