Gen 5 Need help making a Single Trick Room team

dadadada4242

I want to compete in a Single Gen 5 tournament and I want to make a Trick Room team. I know, I have heard that Trick Room is really unreliable in Singles but I want to give it a shot anyways. I feel like the team I have built so far is really bad though, I would be glad if you guys could give me suggestions and tell me who I could add as a 6th pokemon. I don't have any competitive experience yet this is my very first team lol.

Is this for Gen 5 OU or some other format?
 
Ok, I am going to assume that the ruleset is standard, so that makes my suggestions easier. I haven't been in touch with this metagame for a while, so bear with me.

Dedicated Trick Room teams are completely unviable in any serious game. If anyone is going to make a team around Trick Room, you may as well try building a team around Trick Room Reuniclus.

An actual viable TR Reuniclus team looks like this (The sets aren't set in stone, so you can play around with them if you want): :skarmory::heatran::tyranitar::jellicent::latios::alakazam:

If his ruleset allows everything except legendaries, that means this tournament allows a lot of strategies and pokemon that standard Gen 5 OU doesn't allow (Baton Pass Chains, DrizzleSwim, Blaziken etc.) and bans a lot of Gen 5 OU staples like Latios, Keldeo etc..
 
Hello, I'm sorry to say that trickroom teams are not common in bw environments, and the playability is not very high. The usage rate of other common Pokemon is even lower. It is easy to get overwhelmed by offensive fire outside the trickroom. In the space of the trick and the protect is dragged round, resulting in no way to open the gap of the other team's defense. But I still help you improve the team in my understanding, I hope you like it. These Pokemon must retain enough functionality and exit means to ensure that the trick room has enough for the back-row enforcer to output.

There are not many alternative options, because the formation comparison is single, the only one I think is the conke set can be changed, there is no need to worry about the damage caused by burns
