Game plan

Drought or Sunny Day powers Fire attacks, Chlorophyll and Solar Power. Picks that fit it rank higher, as do the Pokémon players pair with your team.

Note: Garchomp-Mega-Z and Charizard-Mega-Y can each Mega Evolve, but only one per battle
Note: Intimidate triggers opposing Defiant and Competitive (Incineroar)

Side-pick suggestions

Shared weaknesses without RillaboomWaterRock— each hits 2 members super-effectively

Every slot is filled: each score is the change from swapping it in for Rillaboom, the Pokémon that adds least (−6.6).

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
