A Little Help With Spooky Cup Teambuilding?

[0kamii]

Hey, Scotty.

I don't know if you've looked at the sample cores Spyro190 made over in the main thread, but I can definitely make a few suggestions of my own if you're having trouble getting started.

Personally, most of the mons in this particular format are Ghost-Type, so having Dark-Type STAB is going to be a must. I would recommend something that can hit for physical damage since most of the Ghost-Types have rather frail defense. Someone like Krookodile might be a good place to start. But since the format is Doubles, Krookodile will need a partner. Krookodile isn't the faster mon in the format, so why not try pairing him with a Tailwind setter so he can outspeed the likes of Gengar, Crobat, and Mimikyu? A pokémon like Murkrow that gets Prankster boosted Tailwind would be a good place to begin. So here's your sample core from which you can build the rest of the team.
 

 

Of course, that's not the only way to build for Spooky Cup. Try out some other attackers, or maybe swap from a Tailwind setter to a Trick Room setter like Mimikyu or Sableye. Make sure to try out everything, and find which strategy works best for you! Above all else though, Spooky Cup is meant to be fun, so don't play like your life depends on it! If you want, you can even just use the mons you love the most, like me!
 
Hope that helped you, companero.
