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.
Honestly havent done competitive battling for a while but thought Id try dip my feet back into it a bit here. Since I havent been battling for a while, I thought Id try to rebuild a familiar team that I used earlier in the generation. Im aware its probably not the strongest teamstyle right now...
tim031024 Thanks again for your help
I chose Dragapult on this team mostly cuz I felt the team needed some kind of speed control and it was the fastest and probably the most versatile Pokemon I could think of. Ill try and see how Sandy Shocks works out.
Had that Tera Type initially but I...
Ok did some battles and made some changes and overall I think the team works significantly better now
Pokepaste: https://pokepast.es/933cb72d383ddca4
Minor changes:
Great Tusk
EVs: 8 Atk / 20 Def / 248 SpD / 232 Spe --> EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 SpD
Changed the EV spread to give Great Tusk...
Thank you for your suggestions tim031024 , glad to hear from someone about improving this team
Do you have any set suggestions for Dachsbun, I havent found anything too much on forums for this thing
Also you have any suggestions who to swtich out for these 2?
OK So I havent done competitive battling for a while but I thought I would get back into it after the release of Scarlet and Violet.
So I thought of making Sun due to the new Paradox ability Protosynthesis and it seems really solid but I would like some opinions of how to improve. The 2 that...
Ok so probably not the most innovative team and by no means am I good at competitive but heres my take on a Screens Offense team that Ive been using so far.

1. What were the most notable increases and decreases, and why do you think these mons are used more/less now?
Easily Dragapult, figured this was gonna rise with no Spectrier and in glad it has
2. What increases or decreases surprised you the most?
Kind of surprised Tyranitat dropped but I...
That does make sense, I do like the idea of a dedicated lead pokemon but 5v6 isnt prime majority of the time.
I was thinking about switching it out for Zapdos or Tornadus-T, but Ill try out Moltres.
1. Are there any increases/decreases that you're enjoying or are unhappy with?
Honestly i like the fact that Dragapult has increased cuz I think its great overall and Im surprised it isnt used more
2. What are your favorite sets/moves to use on the above mons?
I really like Specs Dragapult...
Hey so I moved to a more balanced offensive direction and I think its decent.

Still keeping the same offensive core of Specs Magearna and Pivot Cinderace with Suicide Lead Lando-T. Replaced the other 3 with new members that I think have been working...
OK thank this is very informative. Honestly I do like the more Offensive style so prob will go with the Lando-T suicide lead. any suggestions to go in a more Hyper Offense route?
Honestly that idea did come up but I ended choosing Lando-T as a Choice Scarfer but I do see the benefits of Suicide Lead Lando-T. So implementing this change, what team member would be a good fit since I have to switch out the Excadrill slot since Lando-T will be taking over that?
What set...
So Overall I've been out of the competitive scene for a while, and I just wanted some insights on a team I've come up with with some success. I would appreciate some critique if at all possible to help me improve.

Cinderace @ Heavy-Duty...
Slowbro @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Relaxed Nature
- Slack Off
- Scald
- Teleport
- Thunder Wave/Toxic
Slowbro can pretty much come in on the Cinderace regardless of the move. Slack Off allows it to heal off pretty much anything Cinderace can throw at...
