1. Psychic Terrain:
the tree pokemons that form this playstyle are
- Blaziken (as the main physical attacker, played more like a glass cannon or a setup kinda)
- Indeedee F (as the setter of terrain and supporter of the three, she is the core of this playstyle and the team in general)
- Espeon (she is supposed to be Alakazam but he is not in this format :(, but they fullfil practically the same role as a fast frail special attacker, covering the weaknesses of blaziken and blaziken covering his weaknesses too,)
ok, so the thought proccess behind this team is it that blaziken gets pretty fast pretty soon, but priority dont care about that, and with so many incineroars with fake out running around, and some sucker punchers here and there, its practically imposible to use him effectively (at least like a glass cannon cuz he lowkey suck at that without setup), but, with psychic terrain, priority its disabled, making speed the ruler in the battle for at least 4 turns, and with the combination of sword dance, speed boost, and protect, blaziken can finally be a real glass cannon during psychic terrain, and indeedee its there to help him out, with follow me as well as protect and dazzling gleam for the dragons that wall blaziken (well kinda because my indeede isnt focused on special attack so it dosent make that much damage on dragons, but you get the point) and espeon, well, its here to also help baziken out, but in other way, that other way being help with the psychic pokemons that threat blaziken sweep, also taking advantage of the terrain herself, with tera psychic to maximize his damage output, and shadow ball for a little coverage, she its mostly and all-out attacker, but i gave her calm mind for a little setup in some cases
and the form of using this form of the team is pretty straightfoward, just making sure both of your attacker (or indeedee for support) are in the battlefield at the same time, altought there are some pokemon that can wall both blaziken and espeon in a 1v1 situation, when both are switched in, they can sweep entire teams with little to no effort
but, because i rely solely on speed, i got two main counters (one of them being a hard one)
first one: hyper offense and generally fast and hard hitting pokemons, like fluttermane and so on
i dont really consider this a major problem because of the other half of the team being more defence oriented, but it can get really tought matchups, specially if they also wall my attackers (in that case just forfeit vro)
and the second one...
being the literally opposite of my strat and countering every aspect of this...
T r i c k. R o o m.
this is the hardest and most countering counter of my strat, not just because all my strategy revolves around being the fastest in the field, but also because all of the good and meta trick room attackers HARD WALL my attackers, slowbro, hattrene, ursaluna both forms, every aspect of this strategy just makes mine totally useless, but, just what they say, if you can beat it...
then join it.
1. Trick Room:
(this part of the team its the least developed, but i just needed to make this because its so over without it)
the last three pokemon of the team revolve around and only around trick room, of my own or if the rival set it up
- Farigiraf (the one and only trick room setter, also the support of this part of the team, but it can also make huge damage in his own)
- Goodra-Hisui (i select her only for walling other trick room attackers, maybe it is´nt the best option but it works pretty well in this team, also can setup on his own with acid armor and become practically unkillable, perfect for supporting partners or just outlasting the rival)
-Iron Hands (the most rushed of the three, its here for support with fake out when setting trick room, and to be somewhat of a bulky physical sweeper, thought as i said earlier, he is the least developed and the most rushed in the entire team, its subject to change but for now its works, not so well or perfect fit, but works)
this is my Anti Trick Room Meta Strategy™, thought it is´nt the best so far, its works better than expected, walling faster pokemon than the Psychic Terrain set and also some of the better trick room sweepers like torkoal and (kind of) hattrene, its the not so final form of the losses i got vs trick rooms teams (only one but i got hard countered so badly that i knew i needed some kind of help against it)
i still dont have a optimal startup with this three, but the main goal its to setup trick room, and switch in the sweepers, or also indeedee, because she also works in this stategy as a support (she is the main core in the team) but all of this trick room shenanigans its subject to change, and also, as a disclaimer,
-this is my first team that i consider viable, and also is just a effort to make my favorite pokemon somewhat viable in the actual meta-
-i highly aprecciate some feedback, cuz i really wanna get better building teams and making blaziken work in some other wacky teams, so pls, if you see some corrections or error i make while describing this team (or in the movesets, natures, and everything about the pokemons in the team) please reply me and make me know, i really wanna make this optimal, and most importantly, work-

Team Breakdown
So like i said earlier, this team biggest purpose its making blaziken somewhat of a threat, but its has two forms of usage:1. Psychic Terrain:
the tree pokemons that form this playstyle are
- Blaziken (as the main physical attacker, played more like a glass cannon or a setup kinda)
- Indeedee F (as the setter of terrain and supporter of the three, she is the core of this playstyle and the team in general)
- Espeon (she is supposed to be Alakazam but he is not in this format :(, but they fullfil practically the same role as a fast frail special attacker, covering the weaknesses of blaziken and blaziken covering his weaknesses too,)
ok, so the thought proccess behind this team is it that blaziken gets pretty fast pretty soon, but priority dont care about that, and with so many incineroars with fake out running around, and some sucker punchers here and there, its practically imposible to use him effectively (at least like a glass cannon cuz he lowkey suck at that without setup), but, with psychic terrain, priority its disabled, making speed the ruler in the battle for at least 4 turns, and with the combination of sword dance, speed boost, and protect, blaziken can finally be a real glass cannon during psychic terrain, and indeedee its there to help him out, with follow me as well as protect and dazzling gleam for the dragons that wall blaziken (well kinda because my indeede isnt focused on special attack so it dosent make that much damage on dragons, but you get the point) and espeon, well, its here to also help baziken out, but in other way, that other way being help with the psychic pokemons that threat blaziken sweep, also taking advantage of the terrain herself, with tera psychic to maximize his damage output, and shadow ball for a little coverage, she its mostly and all-out attacker, but i gave her calm mind for a little setup in some cases

T r i c k. R o o m.
