Having Dragapult as the jungler allows the Pokemon to safely and quickly level up to level 5. Once at level 5, Dragapult can learn Phantom Force and start to stack up on Attack stat by knocking out opponents.

Pokemon which have three evolution stages tend to take longer than others to reach their full potential. When three or more of these Pokemon are on a team, it can be difficult for the team to gain traction in the early game. Watch what Pokemon your teammates have picked and avoid stacking too many late bloomers on a team.

It's difficult to maintain a consistent source of damage when your team can only attack up close and personal. Try to make a team with at least one Pokemon who can deal reliable damage from a ranged distance.

It's best to have a good mix of Attack-type and Sp. Atk.-type Pokemon on your team since some Pokemon have different values for Sp. Def and Defense, making them vulnerable against certain Pokemon types.
Lane | Pokemon Pick & How to Use |
---|---|
Top | ・Utilize the Pokemon's strong early-game damage to get an early lead. ・Reach level 5 as fast as possible to get either Sacred Sword or Metal Claw. ・Try to get knockouts to win the lane or break the goal zone. |
・Support Zacian at the top lane and help it reach level 5 fast. ・Learn Moonlight upon reaching level 4 and Gravity at level 6. ・Stick with Zacian and roam around to score points and knock out opponents. |
|
Jungle | ・Get to level 5 as fast as possible and learn Phantom Force. ・Help out lanes and try to get knockouts to stack up on Attack stat. ・Rotate to bottom lane when a Regi variant spawns and secure it. ・Utilize Phantom Force's stealth to hunt targets and cripple the enemy team. |
Bot | ・Hold the lane as long as possible until the Regi variant spawns. ・Learn Flamethrower or Overheat at level 5 and Imprison at level 7 for the move lock effect. ・Stick with your allies and roam the map for objectives. |
・Reach level 4 as fast as possible and learn Foul Play or Mean Look depending on preference. ・Upon reaching level 6, learn Snarl for a reliable crowd control tool. ・Hold the bottom lane with Chandelure as long as possible to have a good position when securing the Regi variant objective. |
This is a high-offense line up with early and strong power spikes that can overwhelm opponents. It's centered on Dragapult taking the jungler role to reach level 5 as fast as possible and will set the tempo of the game by knocking out opponents and stack up on Phantom Force's bonus Attack stat effect, securing objectives, and pushing lanes to create space for its allies to level up and reach their power spikes.
Clefable will act as the hard-support for the team, providing constant AoE heals using Moonlight and punishing diving opponents with Gravity, especially if they have dash moves. Umbreon will be the team's tank and disabler while Chandelure will provide more firepower from the backlines.
Combining the move-cancelling effects of Chandelure's Imprison and Clefable's Gravity can effectively win teamfights.
Clefable will accompany Zacian in the top lane. Zacian will utilize its early-game damage to get early knockouts, reach level 5, and win the lane all with the help from Clefable.

Dragapult will take the jungle to reach level 5 quickly. Once at level 5, the Pokemon will learn Phantom Force and will roam the map to help out lanes, get objectives, and knock out opponents, particularly to stack up on the move's bonus Attack stat.

Chandelure and Umbreon will go to the bottom lane. Chandelure will apply pressure using its offensive moves to delay the opponent's progress as long as possible. Meanwhile, Umbreon will tank as much damage as it can while providing offense using Foul Play or Mean Look and Snarl.

For the Top Lane, Pokemon that are mobile and can equip stackable items can easily score goals and are great alternatives. They are fast enough to sneak pass defenders and score goals while having means of escaping quickly.
For the Bottom Lane, Pokemon with high Sp. Atk. damage output and/or early scaling like Alolan Ninetales paired with a Defender with strong crowd control moves like Trevenant are ideal alternatives for the bottom lane duo.

This is Hi5's team comp that ultimately led to their victory in the Asia Champions League Finals. It has a great balance of damage, durability, and support.

In general, when putting together a team composition of your own, it's good to have the following team balance in mind.
The Tank will be the one that soaks up the damage. They should have high defense so that they can survive being attacked by enemies, and they should have skills that hinder or disable enemies, while not as much as the support, it would still be useful in team fights.
Another good thing they should have is the ability to initiate as they'll be the ones taking most of the skills when they initiate. This isn't a hard requirement but it's nice to have.
Defender Pokemon play this role well, but some All-Rounders can be built as tanks.
Damage dealers need to be able to deal a burst of damage, able to take out enemies quickly. They will be your primary source of stopping power, which is why you can have two of them.
They don't need to be tanky (although depending on the character, they could be), and they don't need a lot of stun because that's the support's job, so they should have primarily damage dealing skills.
In the laning phase, they'll be split up, one on top and one on the bottom, so the other two roles can each look out for them and help them achieve their kills.
Attackers fill this role nicely, but the role could reasonably be filled by All-Rounders or Speedsters.
Support characters should have disabling skills, debuffs for the enemy, for buffs for the team to be effective.
Their job is to be with others and make sure they have the openings to take out Pokemon from the enemy team. Supporters are rarely useful on their own, and they should focus on disabling the damage dealers from the other team.
The best characters for this class are the Support Pokemon.
The Jungler is a unique role that can make or break the game. They don't follow the lanes unlike the other four, rather they head into the central part of the map, which we'll call the Jungle.
They gain the most experience due to not having to share with another player, and because of their unique position, they can affect both lanes by ganking, which is the term for sneaking into a lane and attacking the enemy. This dictates the pace of the lane and determines when objectives can be taken. This is why having high movement speed can help so that you can travel between lanes and clear the jungle quickly.
They also manage to get buffs from defeating Ludicolo and Bouffalant from their respective sides of the jungle.
Speedsters make great junglers, more often than not. Some All-Rounders can be Junglers as well if they're mobile.
Jungle Guide and Best Junglers
An example of good team composition is well-balanced, meaning everyone's roles cover for each other's weaknesses.
Their skills must complement each other and make them more effective as a whole rather than acting as five individual units.
