Salad Table Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 I'm running a mono flying team, and I didn't think I'd have trouble with a psychic team but this field is super strong. The main issues are I have no fake out to stop the trick room, and can't get a flying fakeout user at this point, and I also can't get stomping tantrum to destroy the field. My current team is all lv. 59 - Charizard - Flamethrower, Flame Burst, Dragon Rage, Strength Swoobat - Psychic, Assurance, Air Slash, Calm Mind Emolga - Acrobatics, Discharge, Volt Switch, Light Screen Mantine - Wide Guard, Hydro Pump, Air Slash, Agility Yanmega - Air Slash, Ancient Power, Bug Buzz, Detect Drifblim - Shadow Ball, Hex, Payback, Destiny Bond I think my main strat would be to set up swoobat with the boosted calm mind from simple and the field effect, but I haven't found a reliable way of doing that. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duskfang Shadowpaw Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Hey there, you should focus on taking down the Trick Room Setter's first, Charizard (Base-Speed: 100) and Yanmega (Base-Speed: 95) should be able to take out both Reuniclus and Slowking (both Base-Speed: 30) together, furthermore I presume most of his team has 0 IV in Speed to make full use of Trick Room. If you succeed in hindering his set-up you'll have a huge burden lifted, since you'll be almost going first every time. I hope this helps at least a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gastronely Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 (edited) Get a Vivillon. Compound Eyes makes Sleep Powder hit almost 100% of the time, and Hurricane as well. If you give it a Flying Gem, it can dispatch his Gallade turn 1. Also, Bug Buzz is amazing against some of it's pokemon, like Malamar, and Slowking. The other thing you can do is lead with Charizard and Vivillon. Use Sleep Powder on Reuniclus, and hit Gallade with Air Slash, rinse and repeat. I suggest leading with Charizard, since Radomus ALWAYS goes for Metagross. You can make Charizard learn Air Slash from the move re learner btw Edited June 1, 2020 by Gastronely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just didn't expect to have to deal with rock type Psychic attacks that basically ohko everything on my team. That should help to keep the speed advantage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taska Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 If you're doing a flying monotype what is stopping you from using Honchkrow? If you EV it in speed and attack it is definitely able to KO the mons that Radomus uses to set up trick room, and with moxie sucker punch you just sweep.
