Best Defensive Rental Team

Rental Code	CL6W9Y

This defensive-oriented team features lead Grimmsnarl to set up Reflect and Light Screen, bolstering the rest of its team's bulk and making them easier to switch in and setup.

Pokemon like Cloyster and Volcarona appreciate the added bulk dual screens provides, letting them use their boosting moves Shell Smash and Quiver Dance two or three times to sweep the opposing team.

Best Offensive Rental Team

Rental Code	V8526M

This offensive-oriented team features Palafin as the lead attacker, switching out with Flip Turn to Clodsire so that it can set up with Stealth Rock. With hazards up, it can then switch back in once transformed and sweep with its Water-type STAB moves.

Hydreigon is a great substitute for lead attacker and has great synergy with Corviknight. Sylveon and Meowscarada are sub attackers that can replace any of the defensive pivots, with Meowscarada particularly effective against dual screen setters thanks to Flower Trick.
