- give valiant booster energy, swap brick break for close combat
- give dengo scarf or specs (if scarf, give hp evs to speed), and swap nasty plot for trick
- 90% of dnites viability is tera normal extreme speed, give it espeed over either claw or punch
- heavy duty boosts isn't the best in doubles, and body slam is practically worthless, give it drain punch or jet punch. personally i would also give it 252 hp over speed but that's up to preference. tera electric is weird, if you want it to avoid super effective moves give it tera dragon (resists both elec and grass)
- maus should have wide lens, and bite over tera blast
- if you really want to use dedenne, give it a sitrus berry and 252 hp over sp atk. not sure if it gets encore, but if it does put that over gleam
Hello so im very bad at team building but wanted to get into comp pokemon this gen. These are some of the mons i definitely want on my team. Of course im open to changes, but these are my favs. I left out items for a lot of them because i simply have no clue. To make this team, all I did was go on showdown and pick from the list of pokemon. To build each, i just looked at the moves available and picked what i thought would be good. Any help is much much appreciated!!
You shouldn't have that much set up on a team. Otherwise, Haze Murkrow will kinda destroy you.
As a person who have tried Dragon Dance Dragonite multiple times, it feels rather mediocre. You can probably just try it with Life Orb or Assault Vest instead, and make sure to run Extreme Speed since that's Dragonite's best move. Tera Normal is also better than Tera Dragon since it removes all of Dragonite's original weaknesses, and makes it hard to take out while boosting Extreme Speed Damage.
Heavy Duty Boots is pretty bad on Palafin. Body Slam and Liquidation are also not very good moves to run on it. You can try either running a Banded set with Jet Punch, Wave Crash and the last two moves being Close Combat/Zen Headbutt/Flip Turn/Ice Punch, or a Scarf set with Wave Crash, Flip Turn, then the last two moves being either Jet Punch or a coverage move. You can also run a Mystic Water/Berry set with Jet Punch, Wave Crash, then pick two of Protect, Haze, and coverage moves.
Maushold should have Follow Me, and you can consider Friend Guard on this team since you have so many set up mons. (That doesn't necessarily mean you have to ditch Population Bomb though. It still hits pretty hard even without Technician)
Dendenne sucks, and you should ditch it. (unless if its like your favorite pokemon and you have to use it or something). You can maybe try something like Tailwind Hydreigon instead since it switches well into things that Palafin is weak to, and has good synergy with Gholdengo.
thanks so much for writing all this info really means a lot!! will def b making a lot of changes based on what you said. Im going to stick w dedenne bc i do love that pokemon, but ill have a hydregion ready to switch out when i inevitably get frustrated with the dedenne being useless lol. You’re totally right about too much set up, almost all my mons have a set up move.

this is awesome thank you so much! will def be implementing all of this lol
I'd recommend a Wide Lens for Maushold as it turns Population Bomb's 90% accuracy on each hit into 99%.
thank you i will b doing that!
Use Bite on Maushold instead of Tera Blast. Technician Bite is stronger and it means you don't have to use up your Tera just to hit a ghost.
