How the team plays

Staraptor (Mega) is the team's physical attacker: Jolly with Brave Bird and Close Combat behind Protect, at 160 Attack.

Indeedee-F's Psychic Terrain is used for activating Farigiraf's Psychic Seed for +1 Special Defense and powering up Farigiraf.

Raichu provides Fake Out: that is how it gets the free turn without spending a setup move.

Staraptor (Mega) sets Tailwind so the team moves first. Indeedee-F carries Trick Room as the plan against fast opponents.

Farigiraf is the spread attacker: Expanding Force and Hyper Voice hit both foes at once. At 80 Speed, it depends on Tailwind being active.

The Dark, Electric and Ground weaknesses are unresolved: 3 of the six are weak to Dark, 2 of the six are weak to Electric and 2 of the six are weak to Ground.

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.
