Altaria:

  • Hyper Voice instead of Echoed Voice.

Shuckle:

  • Has 2 entry hazards, but no spinblocker in your team. Let’s hope the AI will still noob.

Talonflame:

  • The developer already said that every E4 will have a competitive team, so forget Aerial Ace as there is evasion clause.

To Shuckle: the Hazards are secondary since its main part will be the use of Infestation and Bide (in Showdown i can take down 1 Pkmn in about 50% of the cases) I also open a battle with infestation most of the time to counter Taunt. But now that you menition the removal of hazards, i should get a Pkmn to counter Live Wire. Any ideas for Shuckles slot? Forretress maybe?

To Talonflame: Aerial Ace is meant mainly for revenge kills. Against strong opponents, like E4, its main attack is Brave Bird and secondary Flare Blitz

To Altaria: My thought was that i can execuete Echoed Voice for 3 turns and then it is stronger than Hyper Voice. Is it to naiive to asume i can use it 3+ times?

Livewire end if it touches grounded Ground or Electric type, so it is easy to counter especially in game because of the message “Opponent trainer will use Pikachu, do you want to switch Pokemon?”

For Talonflame, maybe you can use coverage move like Steel Wing which it can learns by leveling up. Steel Wing hits Rock super effectively, which can wall Talonflame, especially when you need the exp point.

For Altaria, usually 2 hit from Hyper Voice will kill opposing Pokemon and the AI always use type advantage for the next Pokemon.
