Game plan

Trick Room setters flip the Speed order for slow, strong attackers. Picks that fit it rank higher, as do the Pokémon players pair with your team.

Note: Aerodactyl-Mega and Charizard-Mega-Y can each Mega Evolve, but only one per battle

Side-pick suggestions

Shared weaknesses without Aerodactyl-MegaNone: no attacking type hits two members without enough resists

Every slot is filled: each score is the change from swapping it in for Aerodactyl-Mega, the Pokémon that adds least (−6.9).

Candidates ranked by the change in team score their button makes, how often players pair them with the team and what they do for the game plan
