I will pretty much always lead with Politoed and try to use Surf to give Gastrodon Special Attack boosts. Gastrodon Dynamaxes quite a bit of the time to improve its bulk and maybe get some Special defense boosts with Dynamaxed Earth Power. Amoongus is usually there for backup to use Rage Powder and let something boost up or get maybe a free hit.

I'm locking your RMT for the time being as the forum rules require that you provide at least 3 lines of descriptions for each Pokemon to explain their roles. Please read the rules carefully and take a look at Team Showcase to see the level of detail we require. PM me with updated descriptions and I'll be happy to unlock this.
