Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
sorry i only play doubles so i misunderstood. you make good arguments for using sandy shock and i have never really considered it till now. obviously in doubles beads of ruin has more use but since this is singles i can see sandy shock working over it. Chi-Yu could pair well with the disruption...
Have you thought about changing either sandy shocks or roaring moon out for Chi-Yu? Admittedly I have little experience using either Sandy Shocks or Roaring Moon but from my experience trying to use sun in Violet and Scarlet Chi-Yu can work very well on sun especially when paired with flutter...
thanks for the help anyways. i only started doing team building at the end of last gen so any advice from anyone is helpful. ill edit this post with the changes to make it easier to import if anyone wants to use it.
yeah, the 4spk on Klefki was an oversight left on from when it still had dazzling gleam over thunder wave. i unsure about protect mostly because this team is meant to act quite defensive meaning it can already shrug of most hits and protect might make it too passive, but I'll try it out none the...
plus, with the extra defence Corviknight completely shuts down tera normal choice band dragonite plus chien pao when paired with screens from klefki so that's even better. thanks for the suggestion

i wanted as high a power brave bird as possible due to how weak the team can be to grass and fighting types. i had a couple games where max defence corviknight wasn't able to kill grass/ fighting types and I lost a couple games because of it. in hindsight i should have gone with 252 defence...

Tyrantiar acts as the dedicated sand setter for the team. with assault vest it becomes incredibly bulky when combined with...
I thought about using heat wave but lava plume can also hit both opposing Pokémon and additionally hit my Heatran to activate flash fire. So whilst heat wave has better power, being able to self activate flash fire is good for utility.
I have been a t500 doubles OU player in the past and I peaked around 1600+ but I never really attempted to properly build teams before. I came back to showdown after a break and have decided to try and start properly building teams but I’m still probably quite bad with this being one of my first...
