Hello Everyone. I'm in need of some help for some competive play.

Would like to know wat level you can play at.

Got a Shiny 4iv Hydreigon and want to make a strong team around it.

Dunno where to start really and just feel quite lost.

Was thinking of Sylveon, Snorlax/ Aggron/ Avalugg as wall tank, Scizor, Aegislash or something but as said I feel a bit lost what to take in order to build a strong team...

Also what pokemon to have megastone on...

Nolafus

Well, I would first decide what you want to accomplish with your team. I'm guessing since you really like that shiny Hydreigon, you want your team to be able to remove the Hydreigon counters and let that pokemon sweep. That's just one option, and once you have decided what the goal of your team is (besides winning), then we can work with you to build a nice, solid team.

^This is a very good start.

Adding on to this, you want your team to be well balanced no matter the strategy you use. Having pokemon that cover each others weaknesses. Hydriegon is 4x weak to Faerie moves so you are going to want something that can deal with faeries. Also, type coverage is important team wise and move set wise.

If you have any more questions feel free to ask them. Were here to help =)
I may be bad, but i'm perfectly good at it.

I'd say a strong poison pokemon and was thinking

[email protected] Black sludge

Ability: Dry skin combined with key move which is Rain dance for some insane recovery of health each turn.

Adamant (+atk -sp. atk) or Jolly nature (+spd - sp. atk)

-Poison jab/ sludge bomb
-Drain punch from tutor or cross chop from breeding
-Dark pulse as cover for cover on Psychic pokemon
-Thunderpunch/ ice punch as cover on fly moves

Only three of the moves above here but dunno which three as Rain dance shall be one...

Toxicroak is best run on a rain team that relies on Politoed to set up the rain via its ability, Drizzle.

A good toxicroak set to start with can be this:

Dry Skin
@ Black Sludge
Jolly/ Adamant
8 HP/252 Attk/244 Speed

Poison Jab
Drain Punch
Substitute
Bulk Up/ Swords dance

This set can get some good recovery from Drain Punch, to Dry Skin + sludge. It doesnt necessarily need to counter psychic types itself but you should have a team mat that can cover Psychic pokemon.

I don't believe the elemental punches are available on Toxicroak pre-pokebank.
