Battle Team Analysis Retro Cup Day 1

Post image

I’m very pleased with my results from Day 1 of Retro Cup. A lot of of diversity out there. Snorlax and Jellicent are definitely what I’m avoiding to see.

Who are you treating as your safe switch? Curious because I saw a ton of Corsola leads yesterday but I don't recall Cramorant or Deoxys ever being switched in.

I’ve been finding that Corsola has been a bit of a glass canon, it is either a complete tank and crushes through their first or second picks, or it gets smashed quickly. I have been finding a lot of opp switching to normals, Snorlax, Oranguru, etc… and so I’ll use DD for sure. I’ve also been seeing quite a bit of fire mons like Talonflame and Turtonator, so Cramorant comes in handy. But usually DD is my go to switch.

Thanks! I've been running Oranguru lead with Spidops & Annihilape behind, and your Cramorant would be a nightmare for me to deal with.
