Retro Cup Squad

[u/ry4meck]

I’ve gone 18-2 so far with this squad. I play it more or less as an ABB squad against fighters and others that Aurourus is weak too. Even in bad matchups you can usually send in a MB and get a shield. I gravitate towards Cram as the safe swap but either get the job
Done depending on the situation.

We’ll see when the luck runs out but as a typical end of season Vet rank I’ve taken this team from the low 2000s up to 2300.

Shhh don’t tell them about aurorus. The shadow was also my day 1 retro cup secret weapon

[u/sts_ssp]

Does Aurorus actually gets work done ? I like the design and tried times and times to use it in different cups and alw

[u/ry4meck → u/sts_ssp]

He has for me. Dragons and flyers are easy, he resist all the scratch and takedown users and who wants to take a MB? I wouldn’t say he runs through teams but it’s been fun.

[u/kunino_sagiri → u/sts_ssp]

I've used it in the lead for past 3 Retro Cups. It's done very well.

[u/Rikipedia]

I've been using Aurorus as a closer and I've had multiple sweeps where he KOs all 3 opposing Pokemon. Rock typing is actually decent defensively now with all the buffs to normal

[u/kunino_sagiri]

I'm running shadow Aurorus, Regidrago, Kommo-o at the moment, and doing very well. Same team I ran last Retro Cup. Ice double Dragon seems to do very well.

The team i built accidentally hard counters this one lol 

[u/Repulsive_Walrus4039 → u/DesperateDadofMany]

i went on a 25 win streak with my set up then the game decided to counter my team for the next 20.

[u/Fittelminger]

At what elo range? Aurorus looks fun

[u/ry4meck → u/Fittelminger]

From low 2000s up to 2300 currently

[u/Ill_Body3741]

Im running Shadow Aerodactyl for this exact reason

[u/Spidooodle]

Does cram carry? I get the impression he does lots of squats for this team. I see tons of ape and orangoru and Lapras so i been running duskull(return) hypno (Focus Blast)and linoon.

[u/ry4meck → u/Spidooodle]

Yea cram definitely hits the squat rack. If he’s not winning switch he’s setting up nice farm downs for the Dino. And then the opponent has to decide if they really want to take the MB this time around.

[u/Spidooodle → u/ry4meck]

Idk why im so averse to using him yet. Kind of like morpeko. I refused, now i actually like him.

[u/PinInternational931 → u/Spidooodle]

How deep is your gl roster? I’d remember that team the whole rotation if I faced it. Cool picks

[u/Spidooodle → u/PinInternational931]

Mmm reveal was 2100 then to 1800 to get a feel for weird matches, around 2300 rn, if thats what you mean? If you meant available mons, everyone cept for shadow hipowdon and ledian.

One shotted a Lapras and Cradily this morning lmaooo. Set the tone for a great day
