My goal is to make a team that can get around the meta game for the current pokemon gen, more or less it'd just be trolling people tho, example getting them to think a poke was a staller when it isn't etc, the problem is that I haven't really done much battling in awhile. So I have no idea what the current meta looks like... 😅 I am open to suggestions on who to put into a team for it as well as movesets, abilities, etc.

I have no idea what the meta currently is but lemme tell you, no one expects Taunt/Trick Room/Destiny Bond/Nightshade Eviolite Dusclops.

The only reason I ask is because I was thinking of running a skill link minccino, with max speed, max hp (or attack, either way.) using eviolite to help its awful defenses, jolly nature to maximize the speed gain (im pretty sure jolly increases speed at the cost of special attack.) and then having the thing be the biggest troll ever with moves like dig and tail slap. Probably have it run sing too just to be able to (hopefully) outspeed them, sleep them, and then whittle down their HP 😂😂😂 |

Jirachi Iron Head to victory.
Serene Grace does wonders.
(Not too familiar with the current meta, but up to date until 6th gen)

Doom desire is like future sight on roids. Plus it gets wish for healing. 😂 Sadly I have 0 Jirachi's at my disposal. Regarding the meta, same. The last battle I had was with Steve I think lol. And that was pre ORAS releasing iirc. |

Max HP EVs, 88 in DEF, the rest in Sp.DEF (168). Bold nature to decrease attack because it has no direct attacking moves and it helps against Payback. I was using it on a Trick Room team as a bodybag to swap into stuff when i needed to survive and set up again though. For anything other than that it's pretty garbo, but it's still funny. Idk if it still works but if you Trick Room then repeatedly destiny bond and you don't die to indirect damage like sandstorm or toxic or something then you'll trap them into having to let you set up another TR or kill themselves killing it, and if they swap in something to apply statuses then you can Taunt them and slow that down as well. I picked up a lot of dirty kills that way. |

I picked up a lot of dirty kills that way. Interesting. I wonder if I could run that set and EVs on something that has the ability Bounce Back? It'd be super scummy, but extra hilarious if they were to go "ima stall this thing out." And then their status move gets thrown back in their face 😂😂😂 |

Sort of.) and then tacked it back onto the end game when they realized it would probably piss fans off if it was excluded 1 gen after its introduction. |

Woot, have a minccino with skill link on my black 2, and a shiny sneasel that I about peed myself when I ram into and nearly fainted before catching it. 🤔 What unexpected set could I run on a weavile? Or should I keep it as sneasel and use eviolite? 🤔 Ugh, this is why I never battled competitively.
