  • Why did you select each Pokemon? If possible, try to say something more specific than "it's good" or "it's unique." What specifically about the state of the metagame drew you to using this Pokemon?

Farigiraf & Klefki - Main trick room setter, stops priority moves and has good bulk. I was thinking of pairing it with Klefki to trick room using it instead, or to use a prankster reflect/light screen as i set up trick room, hopefully ensuring Farigiraf survives. Issue is they don't have a very strong prescence after setting it up, and usually they just die leaving me with two mons left.

Ampharos & Hydrapple - Bulky special attackers, They can hopefully take a hit before going down even if i don't manage to get trick room up. Moves were mainly chosen with STAB and some coverage in mind. Earth power is a very strong move and Giga drain is for sustaining hydrapple throughout the game. Regenerator is also there to keep it alive. Considering Parabolic Charge on Ampharos for the same reason.

Mudsdale - Physical wall with very few weaknesses, mainly chosen for good coverage, slow speed and because i like it a lot.

Crabominable - Physical sweeper and alternate mega.

EVs - Mostly chosen to maximize their bulk and damage output. Since speed isn't relevant, HP was chosen as the go-to bulk investment.

Any thoughts are greatly appreciated! I really want to make this team work.
