This is a strategy guide and complete explanation of a Trick Room Sun Doubles Team for Regulation D with Pokemon in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet (SV). Read on for the team's rental code and tips on how to use this team effectively in competitive play, recommended movesets and best builds, and strategies and synergies for each Pokemon.

Trick Room Sun Team Summary and Rental Code

Rental Code	NB53DW

This team is a rough recreation of ColdingLight's Regulation D Trick Room and Sun team with the same Pokemon but with different EV spreads.

It is able to make use of both Trick Room and Sun, giving the Pokemon on the team Speed advantage and offensive boosts to their Fire-type Attacks.

The team does not run Protect at all so careful decision making is crucial for piloting this team.

Held Item	Life Orb
Moveset	・ Expanding Force ・ Heat Wave ・ Aura Sphere ・ Trick Room

Armarouge makes an appearance in this team and works both as an attacker and a Trick Room setter. Expanding Force in Indeedee's Psychic Terrain can hit both opponents and so will Heat Wave. These two moves are countered by Wide Guard so do your best to scout it out in Team Preview.

Aura Sphere is a great option against Heatran, who it can do a big chunk of damage to on super-effective hit.

Armarouge Movesets and Best Builds

EV Spread	252 Sp. Atk / 4 Sp. Def / 252 Spe IVs: 0 Atk

Tera Type
Held Item	Choice Scarf
Moveset	・ Overheat ・ Heat Wave ・ Air Slash ・ Focus Blast

Charizard is a powerful game closer, being able to outspeed most foes and deal massive damage in Sun. Heat Wave has its accuracy and power boosted by Sun, while it is also boosted by Charizard's Solar Power Ability.

Overheat is also greatfor getting OHKOs, still being able to KO Landorus-T even at -2, after its first use.

Air Slash is another STAB option, which can notably damage Tera Grass Heatran for super-effective damage.

Focus Blast is a coverage move that is good on some occasions, but cannot be relied upon too often because of its low accuracy.

EV Spread	252 Sp, Atk / 4 Sp. Def / 252 Spe IVs: 0 Atk

Ability	Protosynthesis
Tera Type

Moveset	・ Dazzling Gleam ・ Moonblast ・ Shadow Ball ・ Sunny Day

Fast Booster Energy Flutter Mane can set Sunny Day after a Tornadus uses Rain Dance. Moonblast and Shadow Ball are its main single-target damaging moves, while Dazzling Gleam is a strong spread attack.

Flutter Mane also benefits from Sun, which will trigger its Protosynthesis and boost its Speed, however thanks to Booster Energy, it does not need to always rely on Sun going up to be fast and effective.

Rocky Helmet Indeedee-F Moveset & Best Build

Nature	Calm (+Sp. Def, -Atk)
EV Spread	244 HP / 244 Def / 20 Sp. Def
Final Stat Values	176 HP / 116 Def / 115 Sp. Atk / 140 Sp. Def / 105 Spe
Ability	Overgrow
Tera Type
Held Item	Rocky Helmet
Moveset	・ Dazzling Gleam ・ Follow Me ・ Helping Hand ・ Trick Room

Tera Water Indeedee with Rocky Helmet works as a tech against Rapid-Strike Urshifu, dealing damage to it every time it connects Surging Strikes with Indeedee. Rocky Helmet is also valuable for breaking Chien-Pao's Focus Sash.

Follow Me can allow Indeedee to support its teammate by redirecting damage into it. Helping Hand can increase their damage output, while Trick Room can reverse turn order and allow slower Pokemon like Armarouge and Torkoal to sweep.

Indeedee-F Movesets and Best Builds

Chlorophyll Hisuian Lilligant Moveset & Best Build

Nature	Jolly (+Spe, -Sp. Atk)
EV Spread	252 Atk / 4 Sp. Def / 252 Spe
Final Stat Values	145 HP / 157 Atk / 95 Def / 96 Sp. Def / 172 Spe
Ability	Chlorophyll
Tera Type
Held Item	Focus Sash
Moveset	・ Close Combat ・ Solar Blade ・ After You ・ Sleep Powder

Hisuian Lilligant is very different from regular Lilligant because of its Fighting typing. With access to Close Combat, it is capable of burst damage when necessary.

Hisuian Lilligant can always threaten with fast Sleep Powders, or quickly let Torkoal let out a Sun and Specs boosted Eruption with After You.

Solar Blade is a strong Grass-type attack, but it needs a turn to set up outside of Sun.

Hisuian Lilligant Movesets and Best Builds

Choice Specs Torkoal Moveset & Best Build

Nature	Quiet (+Sp. Atk, -Spe)
EV Spread	252 HP / 4 Def / 252 Sp. Atk IVs: 0 Atk / 0 Spe
Final Stat Values	177 HP / 161 Def / 150 Sp. Atk / 90 Sp. Def / 22 Spe
Ability	Drought
Tera Type
Held Item	Choice Specs
Moveset	・ Eruption ・ Heat Wave ・ Flamethrower ・ Earth Power ]

Torkoal is an Offensive powerhouse once it gets going, and it is difficult to stop once in Trick Room.

An important thing to remember when playing Torkoal is that it is slower than Amoonguss, who can put it to sleep outside Trick Room with Spore.

Torkoal Movesets and Best Builds

Trick Room Doubles Team Strategies and Synergies

Best Four to Bring into Battle

Lilligant and Torkoal Lead

Hisuian Lilligant

Torkoal

Flutter Mane

Charizard

Hisuian Lilligant and Torkoal are a powerful lead option for this team, which works very similarly to Lillikoal leads of the past. Flutter Mane and Charizard are powerful anchors that can clean up in the late-game.

Indeedee and Armarouge Lead

Indeedee (Female)

Armarouge

Torkoal

Charizard

Indeedee and Armarouge are great leads when your opponent has limited ways of denying Trick Room. This lead is also great for teams that rely on priority moves, as Indeedee's Psychic Surge can negate their use.

When to Terastallize

Boost STAB Moves

Torkoal Tera Type:

Charizard Tera Type:

Hisuian Lilligant Tera Type:

Flutter Mane Tera Type:

Torkoal, Charizard, Hisuian Lilligant, and Flutter Mane can all Terastallize offensively to give their STAB moves an extra boost. Of the four, Charizard will be Terastallizing most often in order to dish out even more powerful Heat Waves in Sun.

Terastallize Defensively

Indeedee (Female) Tera Type:

Armarouge Tera Type:

Indeedee and Armarouge both have defensive Teras.

Indeedee's Water Tera is for resisting Rapid Strike Urshifu's Surging Strikes as well as Chien-Pao's Ice Spinner. Indeedee's Rocky Helmet will deal multiple hits of damage to Rapid Strike Urshifu, and will break Chien-Pao's Focus Sash.

Armarouge's Grass Tera allows it to resist Water-type and Ground-type Attacks.

Beware of Counter Weather

Pelipper Drizzle

Tornadus (Incarnate Forme) Prankster

Tyranitar Sand Stream

Countering Torkoal's Weather is a sure-fire way to mitigate the team's damage output while giving added benefits to their own teams.

Consider switching Torkoal out when anticipating an opposing Weather Pokemon to switch in, or switch Torkoal in strategically to have weather in your favor.
