How the team plays

Gengar (Mega) is the team's special attacker: Modest with Shadow Ball and Sludge Bomb behind Protect, at 209 Special Attack. It also runs Garchomp (Mega Z) as an alternative Mega: only one can Mega Evolve per battle.

Rillaboom's Grassy Terrain is used for reducing Earthquake and Bulldoze damage.

Incineroar works as a pivot next to Gengar (Mega): Intimidate lowers both foes' Attack; Parting Shot lets it switch out without losing the turn.

Rillaboom and Incineroar provide Fake Out and Rillaboom hits with priority through Grassy Glide: that is how it gets the free turn without spending a setup move.

Garchomp (Mega Z) is the fastest at 171 Speed, followed by Gengar (Mega) at 150. It runs no speed control: it relies on hitting hard before the opponent moves.

Primarina is the spread attacker: Hyper Voice hits both foes at once. Liquid Voice turns Hyper Voice into a Water-type attack.

The Rock, Ice and Flying weaknesses are unresolved: Vivillon takes 4× from Rock, 3 of the six are weak to Ice and no member resists Flying.

The spreads are the generic 32/32 ones and have not been tuned to specific benchmarks.

We build each spread against the most used Pokémon in the meta and around its teammates: the Speed that pays off most (counting the team's Tailwind or Trick Room) and just enough bulk to survive one or two hits from the threats no other member already handles, with the rest into attack. It's an estimate on the Pokémon Champions scale (0–32 per stat, 66 in total), because players don't publish their real spreads.
