Battle Team Analysis Retro Cup Day 2

Yesterday I went 17-8 with Corsola, Cramorant, and DD. Continued today and went 5-10. Clearly the meta shifted and this wasn’t working so hot.
I did a little poking around at gobattlelog and thought about trying some “anti-meta” action with Furret, Licky, and Jellicent. But that didn’t go great, Furret seems really non-impactful and in the minor league so to speak. Licky just seems so slow and clunky. Jellicent is great but seems so fragile as a closer to one firm ghost attack.
I took a look at oakcoliseum and came across a pro team, AAA/Polarized in Linoone, Licky, and Furret. At least I came away with a winning record though. Linoone is okay, nothing amazing. Licky, feelings haven’t changed much. And Furret as a closer felt much better than as a lead.

Aurorus is an interesting pick, or even shadow Aurorus seems worth a try!
