oras stuff:
Week 1 vs Akaru Kokuyo
This was my first time ever playing gen 6 BSS and also my first time building for this format. I decided to do nothing too crazy and go with a very basic team and focused more on practice and getting more experience playing the tier from test games. It worked really well tho and after some tweaks and stuff, I have to say that this is probably the best team I have built the entire tour and the one I personally like the most. Togekiss is probably a mon that can be replaced with something like a Cresselia but I personally brought it cause Akaru just brought a lot of fat mons before and it seemed like a good bring here.
Week 2 vs Akeras
Since I was still getting used to the format and everything, I didn't want to build anything too crazy yet so I stuck to some pretty basic stuff again. This team is built around the strategy of using one of the 2 broken megas to punch holes into the enemy team to then get healed up to full again through Lunar Blessing Cresselia while getting supported by some other mons. That strategy worked wonders and this is overall another team I'm very happy with.
Week 3 vs feen
ngl for this week I just wanted to use Gengar because that mon looks fun and I haven't used it yet. I guess that's one thing that comes with playing an entirely new format, I just see all these cool new pokemons that I wasn't able to use in ages and I wanted to try everything. This can be seen very well as I brought 18 unique mons in my first 3 weeks. That being said this team again stuck to a rather basic style. lead Garchomp is just an insane mon (imo the best non-mega mon) and the mons like Talonflame + Rotom-Wash bait in stuff that you can then trap and kill with Gengar. Pretty fun team
Week 4 vs Gravity Monkey
For this week I wanted to try something a bit more unconventional but it sadly didn't work. I'm honestly not going into too much depth as I am not really happy with this team since it has some pretty clear weaknesses. In my games I got absolutely destroyed by Cresselia + Gengar and yeah, although I think I could have won it if I clicked some better mons (Volcarona mainly) this is a team that needs to be improved some more. It does cover the very basics of the format so it's not that terrible but I think in order for me to ever bring this team to another tour, I'd first have to fix some of the issues this team has.
Week 5 vs bp
We were already out by that time when I played for the week 5 game so I knew I could try something more fun again. I really wanted to build a team around Manectric-Mega and specs Volcarona cause those 2 mons just seem pretty funny and also have some decent synergy. The team can overall work perfectly fine (mostly carried by the other mons tho but Volc + Manectric are still doing their job) but the team is insanely weak to greninja, which my opponent did end up bringing. I'm still happy with it tho as it's a fun team that definitely works although it could definitely still be improved, obviously.
