Introduction
In this meta, Trick Room is really hard to play. In fact, the trick room last only 4 turns, you have to use one turn to place it, and it's difficult to build around. But I love Trick room team anyway, it's funny to play, and that can destroy an unprepared team.
Teambuilding Process
I tried to build around M-Ampharos, so I began the team with as base the core M-Ampharos / Bronzong. In fact, Ampharos is an excellent Trick Room abuser, thanks to his little speed and his capacity to chek flaying spam. I chose Bronzong because they are complement each other well, and bronzong is a good Trick Room setter.
I had a problem against Weavile and Mold breaker excadrill. I chose to put Crawdaunt in the team, beacause he can revenge kill those 2 pokemon, and is one of the greatest Trick Room abuser of the game.
I need other Trick Room setters, I tried Diancie because of her fairy type, her bulk pretty good, and her capacity to check dark type, and charizard X notably.
Cofagrigus is another Trick Room setter, and he's also a trick room abuser with Nasty Plot. I chose him for his ability to check Medicham, Azumarill and Lopunny, especially thanks to mummy.
Finaly, I thought I need more priority, moreover, I didn't want to be too dependant on the Trick Room, and I wanted somethig to deal with Steel and fairy. That why I chose Entei, who could abuse the Te trick room against fast pokemon, but also make something outside of it
The Team
Ampharos @
Ability: Static
EVs: 248 HP / 252 SpA / 8 SpD
Quiet Nature
IVs: 30 Atk / 30 SpA / 1 Spe
Volt Switch
Hidden Power [Grass]
Dragon Pulse
Focus Blast
I built the team around M-Ampharos, the EV repart is a classical full HP full SpA, this repart alow him to take one earthquake from excadrill scarf. Volt Switch is here for the momentum, it's pretty useful when you need to pass the trick room to another pokemon. Focus Blast is here to hit a lot of mon like Tyranitar, Excadrill, Heatran or Ferrothorn. Finally, I pu HP Grass because of Quagsire and others Bulky Water-Ground.
Bronzong @
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 SpA
Brave Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
Gyro Ball
Earthquake
Trick Room
Hidden Power [Ice]
Bronzong is one of my favorite Trick Room setter of the game. The Focus Sash is here to be sur to put the trick room, even if a dangerous sweeper is already set up. It's an offensive repart, in fact, Bronzong can OHKO Heatran with earthquake or make a lot of damage to any fast pokemon with Gyroball. Finally, He's a good switch in to Landorus and Garchomp for exemple, Hidden Power Ice can 2HKO or 3HKO them.
Crawdaunt @
Ability: Adaptability
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 SpD
Brave Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
Superpower
Crabhammer
Knock Off
Aqua Jet
Crawdaunt is a big WallBreaker, and only a few pokemon, like Altaria-mega, can switch in on him. It's a classical repart, 248 HP to take less damages on LO, I also gave him Superpower, because of Mega-Gyarados, Who can destroy my team after a DD if there is not Trick Room.
Cofagrigus @
Ability: Mummy
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpA
Quiet Nature
IVs: 0 Atk / 30 Def / 30 SpA / 30 SpD / 0 Spe
Trick Room
Nasty Plot
Shadow Ball
Hidden Power [Fighting]
Cofagrigus is another Trick Room setter. I love him for Mummy, Which can check perfectly a lot of pokemon, Altaria mono attaker for exemple cannot make anything after he tuch cofagrigus with return. It's a classical repart of Cofagrigus Nasty Plot, I prefer Hidden Power Fighting on him, for pokemon like Bisharp, Lopunny and Tyranitar, and because Ghost + Fight have a perfect coverage.
Diancie @
Ability: Clear Body
EVs: 252 HP / 88 Def / 168 SpD
Sassy Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
Diamond Storm
Stealth Rock
Moonblast
Trick Room
The last Trick Rom setter, who put the stealth rock too. It's also a classical repart, The mental herb is here for the taunter like Gengar. I didn't put Explosion on her because Diamond storm is really usefull for Charizard and Gengar, and Moonblast for Mega Sableye, dark and fighting type. I never felt the lack of explosion, but I can understood if you say that is better.
Entei @
Ability: Pressure
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
Sacred Fire
Will-O-Wisp
Extreme Speed
Iron Head
Finally, Entei is here to have a fire pressure for pokemon like Ferrothorn and Scizor. He is played full speed to be played out of the trick room, adamant to make a lot of damage. I choose Will-O-Wisp for bisharp who can sweep the entire team after a Sword Dance, and it's easy for him because he can deal with all the trick room setters of the team. Iron head is here for bulky Altaria-Mega (who can stall bronzong with roost) and to hit Diancie.
Threatlist
Defensive M-Altaria is really hard to pass for my team, because he can wall easy Bronzong, and can 2HKO cofagrigus if he's played with Hyper voice. Only Entei can win his duel.
M-Gyarados is really hard to beat too. If the trick room is not set up, only Crawdaunt can resist to an hit a kill after that with Superpower, and that's only a lure, so it's important to pay attention.
I Have no switch in to Azumarill Bander if he's played with knock off, And if the belly drum is set up, he can make a lot of damage to the team if there is not the trick room.
Breloom is really hard to pass too, i have nothing to absorb the spore, and he can make a lot of damages on the team thanks to priority and Bullet seed. But it may be just me, I hate this thing.
With nothing to hit him with super effective move, it's quite difficult to beat M-Venusaur.
Conclusion
It's a funny team to play. It have a great mach up against the Hyper Offense, and the Stall can also be beaten thanks to the wallbreaker and set up sweepers of the team.
Have fun !
