Because Sacred Fire is a thing

I was about to get into VGCs this year, until I saw this ruleset. Yeah, I have a Shiny Penta Rayquaza with the most important IVs and Nature, but I never cared to use it competitively and I sure as heck don't want to fight other ones. M-Rayquaza and P-Groudon will be on 99.99% of teams, and...

Yeah I've been thinking about playing around with different Hydreigon sets. I'll definitely give it a shot. I actually haven't had any problems facing off vs Bisharps, but Sub-Gross does sound good overall.

My first VGC team. I wanted to go for balance and synergy, started with a FWG core and worked out the rest of the team from there. Arcanine @ Sitrus Berry Ability: Intimidate EVs: 252 HP / 148 Def / 44 SpA / 4 SpD / 60 Spe Modest Nature - Flamethrower - Snarl - Protect - Will-O-Wisp More of...

Tailwind is a really good idea, and I've been leaning towards M-Metagross since I already have one in game. Dual-core team? This actually sounds like a very balanced team, definitely going to try it out! Although I'm not too sure how it would fare against Trick Room. I can't believe I...

I'd like to, but Protect can't be used on an AV Set, which I'm actually growing to like. Arcanine @ Sitrus Berry Ability: Intimidate EVs: 252 HP / 148 Def / 44 SpA / 4 SpD / 60 Spe Modest Nature - Flamethrower - Snarl - Morning Sun - Will-O-Wisp More of the bulky Arcanine, I like his ability...

I'm pretty newbie/ scrubby when it comes to VGC, just started looking into it for about a week now. Anyways, I'm really liking Arcanine and Milotic as the start of a FWG core, but outside of those two mons I really don't know what other pokemon/ sets work well for them in a VGC format...

I think Volcarona deserves a mention. It has 6 resistances (Ice, Fighting, Steel, and Fairy being big ones) and it has versatility thanks to moves like Quiver Dance, Bug Buzz, Heat Wave, Giga Drain, Rage Powder, and Roost. Bold nature with 252 HP/ 252 Def/ 4 Sp Atk is bulky enough to 3 hits...

Updated the Original Post with some replays. I guess this will count as my bump?

I'd recommend spacing this out better so it's not all jumbled up, and you could put a little more in the descriptions. Running Volcarona with no Rapid Spin or Defog support is bad juju. I'd take Swords Dance off of Scizor and put Defog, seeing as you already have enough setup sweepers. Also, I...

I see no Defog or Rapid Spin user, so I'd probably recommend Mega Blastoise for a bulky spinner who gets a Rain boost. No idea who to take out for it though :/ Also Mega Manectric might be worth looking into for Thunder spam in the rain. Again, not sure who you would take out for it. I'm not...

I'll probably change Rotom-W here soon for WoW, although the bulk the AV set provides is surprisingly good. Sylveon needs to be able to take Physical hits, otherwise it would be helpless against some of the dragons it's supposed to check for my team. I'll share win and loss replays next time...

Alright guys, I did some of the suggested changes and it works a lot better now! I wasn't too keen on making all of the changes at once, so I'm slowly gonna test the rest of the suggestions later on, and I'll keep this updated. I've updated the original posts with the changes I've made so far.

Hey, thanks for the reply! Those are all some really helpful changes, I'll test them out when I get home. Although I'm a bit weary about changing Sylveon since it's my Dragon-killer and it needs to be able to take Physical attacks. I'll update this and let you know how it goes.

Did you test this team on Pokemon Showdown? Seems like there's too many slow mons, and the movesets and EVs seem off. I assume Ttar is suppose to have 252HP and 252ATK instead of the 242 you listed?
