Game plan

Grassy Terrain for priority Grassy Glide and Grassy Seed boosts. Picks that fit it rank higher, as do the Pokémon players pair with your team.

Note: Froslass-Mega and Raichu-Mega-Y can each Mega Evolve, but only one per battle
Fire hits Rillaboom, Kingambit and Froslass-Mega super-effectively (−1 team score)
Ground hits Kingambit, Sneasler, Arcanine-Hisui and Raichu-Mega-Y super-effectively (−1 team score)

Side-pick suggestions

Shared weaknesses without KingambitFireGroundRock— each hits two or more members super-effectively

Every slot is filled: each score is the change from swapping it in for Kingambit, the Pokémon that adds least (−4.9).

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
