NinaVII Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 (edited) This my first playing pvp in any pokemon. I don't really know which pokemon I could replace on my team. I'm thinking of replacing cloyster for either a special def tank or a bulky pokemon that can set stealth rocks. I should probably replace volcarona seems it's too frail. Thanks for your help.

DiosSlurpuff Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 If you are a new player you may want to use something simpler to learn: Cloyster is currently very manageable, which is reflected in his current usage in OU, possibly the best thing you could do as a new player would be to run the typical defensive core of Blissey + Cofagrigus, both of whom cover decently and can deal with Kingdra specs in rain and with the common physical offensives of the tier (Except maybe Excadrill SD and Kabutops SD), then put in rotom wash to have to use defog, garchomp mixed with stealth rock, and finally put in a physical offensive and a special one to completing, possibly one of them Choice scarf Link to comment

Even if its almost a must to carry a rapid spin or a defog user (depending on if the team is either offensive or balanced/defensive) to remove your own field hazards, its technically avoidable if you carry stuff like Magic Bounce Espeon. Anyway, not going into further details, your team suffers stealth rock quite a lot, so i'd highly advise to put defog on RotomWash, and putting a stealth rock user over any of your remaining 5 Pokemon. If you want more info about that, since this post wont be enough at all to explain you about competitive mechanics, check that post so you will have a good idea on how to start, best of luck ❤️ Link to comment
