VGC '16 Groudon Trick Room Team
With the reintroduction of many legendaries in 2016 that 2010 had (plus some new ones and Primal formes), I decided to take a more unique approach to my team than I normally would. I was inspired by Huy's team from 2010 when I started making this team (thought that might be interesting to note). Anyway, here's the team:
Spoiler:
I'm really looking for help improving this team, as I feel like it's pretty solid but is lacking something, especially in the Aegislash slot. If anyone could give me some feedback, I'd be very grateful. Thanks for reading. ^^ |
The main problem with Eruption is that as Primal Groudon gets worn down throughout the battle, Eruption becomes less useful. Having Fire Blast over that not only makes Primal Groudon less prone to Wide Guard, but also provides it with a consistent Fire STAB.

Maybe have a Brave Groudon and teach it Fire Punch.
-Fire Punch -Precipice Blades/Earthquake -SolarBeam -Bulk Up Item: Red Orb Ability: Desolate Land EVs: 252 Attack, 252 Sp.Def/Def/HP/Sp.Att, 4/HP/Sp.Def/Def/Sp.Att Nature: Brave How about Exeggcutor? -Trick Room -Solar Beam -Psychic/Psyshock/Extrasensory -AncientPower/Sludge Bomb/Calm Mind/Infestation Item: Lum Berry/ Sitrus Berry Ability: Harvest EVs: 252 HP, 252 Sp.Att, 4 Sp.Def/Def Nature: Quiet |

As for Exeggutor, what does Ancient Power, Sludge Bomb, Calm Mind, and Infestation even do for it? Neutral STAB Psychic still outdamages a 2x super effective Ancient Power, and still hits the 4x Rock weaks for reasonable damage. A neutral STAB Solar Beam also hits just as hard as a 2x super effective Sludge Bomb. Switching is very rarely done, so there's no point in having Infestation at all. Doubles formats like VGC make it hard to set up stat boosts; this is more easily done with Pokemon that have a reasonable amount of bulk and/or a good defensive typing, neither of which Exeggutor has. |

I took your suggestion with Fire Blast > Eruption and it has helped a lot. Thanks. I still feel like the team needs some work though. So if anyone can help me still, it'd be appreciated. ^^ |
