Enter it in Pokémon Champions to play with this rental team.
Raichu (Mega Y) is the team's special attacker: Timid with Zap Cannon and Focus Blast behind Protect, at 180 Special Attack. It also runs Staraptor (Mega) as an alternative Mega: only one can Mega Evolve per battle.
Rillaboom's Grassy Terrain is used for reducing Earthquake and Bulldoze damage.
Raichu (Mega Y) and Rillaboom provide Fake Out and Rillaboom hits with priority through Grassy Glide: that is how it gets the free turn without spending a setup move.
Staraptor (Mega) sets Tailwind so the team moves first. Raichu (Mega Y) is the fastest at 200 Speed, followed by Staraptor (Mega) at 178.
Gholdengo is the Life Orb spread attacker: Make It Rain hits both foes at once.
The Ground, Flying and Ghost weaknesses are unresolved: Arcanine-Hisui takes 4× from Ground, 3 of the six are weak to Flying and no member resists Ghost.
The spreads are hand-tuned: Gholdengo, for example, runs 27 HP / 22 SpD / 17 Spe.
