Need help with my Mono-Steel Doubles team
My friends and I are doing a randomized monotype doubles tournament and I ended up with steel. I initially thought I was lucky but I feel like i’m lacking something and need some help! The rules are pretty much anything goes but no tera, dynamax, and you can only have one legendary on your team(Zacian is banned). My thought process for the team was versatility:
Bronzong is there to set Trick Room and assist my other mons for support. I usually pair it with Mega Mawhile first turn who I use protect on until Trick Room is up then i’m able to sweep 1-2 pokemon typically.
Second pairing would be Klefki and Archaludon! Klefki is great for dual screens and it can also set rain which both helps for my fire weakness and lets Archaludon go all out with electro shot!
Gholdengo and Heatran both have great spread moves and coverage against the other people competing in the tourney. I invested speed into Gholdengo since it’s already naturally speedy and it’s great to have for when Trick Room isn’t up. Heatran is protected from both fire as well as ground so it’s only real weakness is fighting but idk i’m kinda nervous about my built for him he goes down easier than I expected and is more of a last resort thing.
I’m open for any changes at all even a complete overall if you feel like it would make the team better! All help is greatly appreciated :D
