Ok, so looking for some advice on a team build I'm doing.
I had this idea with the last gen but never got around to it, and now I want to make it work with Sun/Moon.
I'm trying to do a three weather singles team, using the following makeup.
Ninetails
Tyranitar
Excedrill
Trevenant
Whiscash
Relicanth
Idea is to have pokemon that benefit from multiple weather effects(Whiscash, Relicanth) or can work well with a single one to set up, while being able to swap weather effects as needed or to adapt to my opponent.
I doubt it's the best team, but it seems interesting.
Right now, I was going to use Mega Charizard, but with the new Z shit I thought perhaps Ninetails might be worth considering.
Can this still work in Sun/Moon? And has their been any major things in the new game to support this tactic? I remember Hail being dogshit for helping out, perhaps something changed with that?
I'd also like to move my team away from depending so much on just Sandstorm. Is there another Rail focused Pokemon that's perhaps dual typed or can work with this concept?

>Can this still work in Sun/Moon?
Sure it can work but that is different than it actually being a viable/good team.
>And has their been any major things in the new game to support this tactic?
I don't think so, pretty sure it is the same as last gen as far as weather goes.
>Is there another Rail focused Pokemon that's perhaps dual typed or can work with this concept?
I assume you meant hail. But you could throw in a Aurorus, Mamoswine, or the new A-Sandslash. Those three wont get hurt by hail or sand, beyond that if they are useful is a mystery to me. Not sure how useful Sand Cloak could be for Sandslash and Mamo. And getting an auto hail up with Aurorus hidden ability may prove to be useful.
Just some thoughts.

Oh, yea, I know I'm likely building something that isn't going to be winning big, but it sounds really interesting to me.
Looking around, one thing I see is that I can swap Ninetails for Shiinotic, which gives me some Coverage for Fighting and Dragon. I think that leaves me a hole in terms of grass though, especially as so much of my team is weak to it. I can drop Excedrill for something to help with that, though I'm not sure what.
As far as Hail goes, I think it's the same problem I had before: Ice types are the only real ones that benefit from it, and Ice types don't tend to have any crossover stuff to help with the team concept. Beyond a few of them being able to be immune to sand storm, nothing much to come of it.

I respect that 100%. Love interesting team ideas. DESU It may be better to lean away from 3 types of weather; doing 2 kinds would be still fairly original and interesting to work with.
What's your set up for pic related?
>>30103495
I'm rocking Shadow Sneak, Play Rough, Will o Wisp and Wood Hammer but I bet replacing Wood Hammer with Swords Dance wud be cool with Shadow Sneak.

Too bad shadow sneak is literal trash

explain this
>>30103455
When I catch it, I'm boxing my starter.
I never knew I wanted a literal Katana as a Pokemon, but here we are and now I need this thing.
I'm just trying to wonder what Nature I should go for.

it gets defog at least
WHAT DID YOU NAME YOUR TRAINER FUCK

Phoebe. Cute as fuck name, plus has lots of mythological moon connections.

My usual online nickname.
>98 Attack
>96 Speed
>Learns plenty of physical moves
Sonichu is not bad at all honestly. Its only real sin is not learning any Steel moves except for Gyro Ball. At least it's not a dissappointment unlike fucking Vikavolt. Also its attacking animation is literally Sonic the Hedgehog and I love it.
>>30103354
>The only Steel move it learns is Gyro Ball
Gamefreak needs to stop shoving this attack on mons that can't use it.
I was expecting it to be a lot worse than it actually is. Iron Barbs + Rocky helmet has gotten a lot of surprise kills.
>>30103466
>Super fast mon that spins
>GYRO BALL
I don't get it. Shouldn't a FASTER Gyro ball do more damage?
It has 90 hp and learns flare blitz. Lunatone has 90 hp and learns Power Gem.
Great.
>>30103262
That's nice
>>30103262
Solrock is great
Is it competitively viable?
No.
>>30103275
No?

Lowest BST in the entire national dex.
Any strategies for catching Tapu Fini, /vp/? That Aqua Ring is annoying af. I've wasted three hours trying to catch this thing, false swiping and throwing ultra balls every other turn and nothing is working
get smeargle with aqua ring and imprison
???
profit
>>30103219
Litterally caught it at 40% in a Pokeball
Keep throwing em
>>30103244
Or any mon with heal block.
Also if you're throwing ugly as fuck ultra balls at it, just throw the master ball, you aren't going to use it anywhere else anyway.
can we talk about how the TV in Alola fucking sucks there's literally nothing good on
>>30103160
Enjoy the enviroment, enjoy the nature, not the tv
did Hau rig all the TVs? maybe that's what Hau's dad has been doing all this time, broadcasting shows about malasadas 24/7

Rock Head Flare Blitz ain't no joke, nigga.
>>30103149
Actually use Lightningrod if you don't want to die to the majority of newfriends going LOL ELECTRIC LEGENDS
>>30103149
Too much electric cancer around right now, use rod until that calms down.
>1%
???
>>30103091
>finally get one
>level 12
why didn't they make it level 38+?
It's 10% if the water is rippling, and you just enter and exit the boat for the water to ripple again.
>dainty frail waifu is actually taller than you
Is this some sort of manlet agenda?
>>30102963
Considering she'll most likely jump on Lusamine's dick in Kanto, yeah.
>Not wanting a tall girl
>manlet
>implying I don't play as female MC
>implying I don't self insert as the little girl.
Kill yourself.
Well since alolan exeggutor was hinted why not the next games. This is at the heahea game freak headquarters

Why do you faggots always take 4k pics with your shitty phones?

Blue one is Wishiwashi School form.
the fuck is the orange one?
Is it scrubby to use ultra beasts?
Still trying to figure that one out myself.
I usually don't like to listen to Smogonfags but if the classify them as Ubers I'll drop them like a rock.
>>30102920
>>30102969
Pheromosa and Kartana are the only overbearing ones, and even then they have exploitable flaws. Buzzwole, Celesteela, and Nihilego are pretty honest if I do say so.
No, they're not that scrubby on account of being almost pseudos but not quite there.
>>30103015
What about Xurkitree?
They were the only ones in remember it, thank you GF
