Enter it in Pokémon Champions to play with this rental team.
Raichu (Mega X) is the team's physical attacker: Jolly with Fake Out, Feint and Volt Tackle, at 155 Attack. It also runs Golisopod (Mega) as an alternative Mega: only one can Mega Evolve per battle.
Pelipper sets rain and Basculegion-F takes advantage of it.
Raichu (Mega X) provides Fake Out: that is how it gets the free turn without spending a setup move.
Raichu (Mega X) is the fastest at 178 Speed, followed by Sneasler at 158. It runs no speed control: it relies on hitting hard before the opponent moves.
Archaludon is the spread attacker: Snarl hits both foes at once.
Pelipper carries Wide Guard, the practical answer to Ground: blocking Earthquake is more reliable than surviving it.
Pelipper carries Wide Guard, the practical answer to Electric: blocking Discharge is more reliable than surviving it.
Pelipper carries Wide Guard, the practical answer to Fire: blocking Heat Wave is more reliable than surviving it.
The spreads are hand-tuned: Archaludon, for example, runs 32 HP / 1 Def / 1 SpA / 29 SpD / 3 Spe.
