VGC Support dragapult is nice ngl

[Animecatbelike]

Wsp yall, I decided to make a team knowing a little more about the VGC regulation H meta. I'll take you through my thought process and explain each member of the team. Lets get into it (TEAM)


(click on pokemon for sets) --------------------------->






The first member of the team, Dragapult. I decided to run a more support set to utilize its useful speed and ghost typing. Light screen and Will-O-Wisp helps Dragapult stick around longer. Aswell as supporting teammates. I ran Draco meteor for damage and fire blast to hit
Amoonguss and Gholdengo. I also have tera fairy to resist dark and be immune to dragon. I have life orb for added damage as I
invisioned this Dragapult being a hybrid support and attacker.










I have whimsicott for speed control. Tailwind allows my team to move faster. While taunt and encore are good disruption moves. I have
tera ghost to avoid fake out.















I have kingambit because I believe its steel/dark typing. Usefullness in trick room and access to sucker punch make it useful. It works well
with Armarouge and Amoonguss. I used tera dragon for resistances to fire and water which is helpful for things like Palafin. And swords dance for added power. Black glasses increase the power of sucker punch and kowtow cleave.












Gyarados completes the fire water grass core I wanted for this team. I decided to have a more offensive set because I didnt want a too
Passive team. I have tera fire to avoid Will-O-Wisp and lose my 4x weakness to electric (even though it doesn't really matter) Honestly, I
probably could pick a better tera type. I have crunch just for coverage and DD for added power and speed. I have clear amulet to not loose momentum in switching out due to intimidate.


















I have amoonguss for added bulk and support to my team. Pollen puff is helpful for pokemon like kingambit and gyarados that want to stick around locker. Rage powder also lets said pokemon set up. Its part of my fire water grass core and works well in trick room. I have
clear smog as a check to Dondozo and anything else that wants to set up. Tera fairy is just useful to avoid strong Draco meteors and stuff like that









Armarouge is quite useful as it sets up trick room. Its fire and psychic typing is nice as well. Armor cannon is very strong and can OHKO things like Amoonguss. I ran mind plate so Dragapult could keep life orb. And I have expanding force over psychic basically in case psychic terrain is set up in any way. I trade a little power but I can be more useful in that situation. I have tera grass to be immune to spore. Armarouge is also good for being able to threaten an OHKO on the ghost monkey.






Please tell me anything I can fix on this team or matchups I can work on. Thank you for reading

Okay, I must mention this:
Your Dragapultset feels all over the place, so I'm going to rework your team, one with a Supportive Dragapultand one with a Offensive one.

Supportive
Dragapult Support Set --> https://pokepast.es/f327ab80b4a0ac66
Whipped this set up, it out speeds max speed Talonflame, which is always nice. With dual Screens+Wisp, your allies are well guarded under Dragapult's care. Hex actually does nice damage when opponents like Palafinare burned.

Intimidate --> Moxie on Gyarados
Not mandatory, but this could be interesting as behind Reflect and Will-O-Wisp you don't take too much from a lot of physical attacks anyways. Plus, you could just sweep.

Crunch --> Tera Blast on Gyarados
Comes up later.

Tera Fire --> Tera Flying on Gyarados
This grants you great Flying-type STAB, as currently you get walled by Amoonguss.

Armarouge --> Incineroar
This is probably the main reason I felt comfortable dropping Intimidate on Gyarados. This gives Fake Out to the team, plus That Armarougefelt super weird ngl.

New Supportive Dpult team: https://pokepast.es/39ced15f3d1b7b78

Offensive
Dragapult Offensive Set(s) --> https://pokepast.es/8c5c1f2499602d04
I'd say stick to Lorb, as it is what you were running initially.

New Gyarados --> https://pokepast.es/426c5bfbb2f9523e
I'm focusing this around supporting the Dragapult, so a supportive Gyaradoswith hindrance and disruption can help.

Armarouge --> Rock Head Harcanine
This could be really cool, smashing into the Steel-types while possibly packing Iron Head for Fairy-types, while also nuking a lot.

New Offensive Dpult team: https://pokepast.es/65ff0fcbae02bd5b

As always, good luck and happy battling!

Thank you. any matchups I should beware of?

I'd say be aware of Rain teams, as they can be scary.
