Team building around Greninja

Rate my VGC doubles team - been climbing the ladder with this!

I've been experimenting with a Trick Room team and it's been working surprisingly well. Here's the core:

Trick Room Setter

Gardevoir @ Focus Sash

  • Trick Room

  • Moonblast

  • Psychic

  • Protect


The main Trick Room setter. Focus Sash ensures I can get Trick Room up even against faster threats.

Trick Room Sweeper

Snorlax @ Assault Vest

  • Body Slam

  • Earthquake

  • Fire Punch

  • Ice Punch


Under Trick Room, Snorlax becomes an absolute monster. The coverage is great and Body Slam's paralysis chance can be clutch.

Looking for suggestions on the remaining four slots. What would complement this core well?

Adding to this: make sure you have plenty of Poke Balls ready!

This is exactly what I was thinking! Glad someone put it into words.

I've been a Normal type specialist since Gen 8, and I can confirm this.
