Team Strategies and Synergies

Team Strategies and Options

Bring Pokemon that Check Your Opponent's Team

Sample Offensive Core
Ogerpon (Hearthflame Mask) ImageOgerpon (Hearthflame Mask)
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet SV - Grass Icon Pokemon Scarlet and Violet SV - Fire Icon
Urshifu Rapid-Strike Style ImageUrshifu Rapid-Strike Style
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet SV - Fighting Icon Pokemon Scarlet and Violet SV - Water Icon
Flutter Mane ImageFlutter Mane
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet SV - Ghost Icon Pokemon Scarlet and Violet SV - Fairy Icon

Depending on you opponent's team, select Pokemon that have a wide range of offensive coverage in order to threaten all the possible combinations of Pokemon they could bring.

Do not risk a bad matchup for the Pokemon that is currently on the field. When playing a hyper-offense team, one of your opponent's clearest win conditions is to knock out the Pokemon that threatens them the most. Assess which Pokemon they could have brought and try to preserve the Pokemon that gives you the clearest path to victory.

Always Have an Answer to Stall

Sample Team
Dragonite ImageDragonite
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet SV - Dragon Icon Pokemon Scarlet and Violet SV - Flying Icon
Urshifu Rapid-Strike Style ImageUrshifu Rapid-Strike Style
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet SV - Fighting Icon Pokemon Scarlet and Violet SV - Water Icon
Ogerpon (Hearthflame Mask) ImageOgerpon (Hearthflame Mask)
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet SV - Grass Icon Pokemon Scarlet and Violet SV - Fire Icon

If you do not bring an answer to stall teams, it may be difficult for your offensive Pokemon to get knock outs. Bringing Pokemon like Dragonite and Gholdengo to threaten your opponent with moves like Encore or Trick is essential to stop them from stalling out your team.

It is also a good idea to bring Urshifu, since its ability Unseen Fist ignores stalling moves like Protect. Heartflame Mask Ogerpon is also a good choice since it will be more difficult to wall after it Terastallizes and gets a boost to its Attack thanks to Embody Aspect.

Surprise Other Offense Teams With Your Bulk

Sample Bulky Core
Gholdengo ImageGholdengo
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet SV - Steel Icon Pokemon Scarlet and Violet SV - Ghost Icon
Urshifu Rapid-Strike Style ImageUrshifu Rapid-Strike Style
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet SV - Fighting Icon Pokemon Scarlet and Violet SV - Water Icon
Dragonite ImageDragonite
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet SV - Dragon Icon Pokemon Scarlet and Violet SV - Flying Icon

A lot of people would expect faster and more offensive sets for these Pokemon. Surprise them by taking advantage of their bulkier sets to counter Pokemon that would normally check them.

For example, against opposing Hearthflame Mask Ogerpons, Poison Tera Urshifu would resist its Grass move and you can threaten a knock out with Surging Strikes in return.
