OH BABES U ASKED FOR THIS. IM PULLING UP POKÉMON SHOWDOWN.

(warning: i did not test these teams and MAINLY WENT OFF OF VIBE, esp since i’m not choosing a specific vgc ruleset for this. some will have legendaries bc they’re just built different and u just gonna deal w that)

Also, I got tired and only did offense rn :((( sorry.

SCOUT:

It’s giving tailwind, it’s giving hyper offense, it’s giving has never seen a recovery move ever, it’s giving “set up tailwind and blast through everything,” it’s giving “the only support I will use will be a complete bastard to my opponent.” I originally wasn’t going to give him Miraidon but in the end, I did bc they go together personality wise.

I won’t go too deep into detail abt sets, but I’ll list some synergies I was thinking abt:

rising voltage fake out a-raichu under electric terrain

draco meteor miraidon w PRANKSTER HAZE murkrow

SOLDIER:

More balanced hyper offense. I’m not very creative, but there’s a lot more support because the main thing w palafin vgc teams is “how do I get palafin to be actually not ass” and the answer is either a) stall them or b) just beat the shit outta the opponents mons. You can guess which one is more soldier like. Either way, that’s kinda what I built this team around:

rage powder and follow me redirection by amongus and togekiss

Togekiss flinches

fake out pressure from iron hands

Aerialate hyper voice mega mence

Braviary (idk honestly this mon is kinda dookie but smth smth bulkup brave bird? idk just use final gambit Staraptor instead)

PYRO:

Big surprise, a sun team. But, a very well balanced sun team!! I couldn’t find a way to add g-rapidash or regular rapid ash on here because it sucks ass, so in my condolences, there is scream tail. It’s way cuter and pinker than the horses. Bite me.

Cool shit:

Rage powder volcarona redirection support

After you chlorophyll liligant for speed control

Beads of Ruin chi-yu and a shitton of strong special attackers. Oh yeah.

tnite, instead of finishing the 7 page research paper i needed to do, i drew tf2 pokemon art and rambled abt it instead.

anyway if this post gets one (☝️) note i will give u what i think the mercs’ respective team structures are for vgc
