I’m curious what the consensus mon are for a blind master challenge because a stranger came up to me at Mcdonalds today during lunch while i was playing and asked for a friendly battle. Thought that was pretty cool as I havent been active as much as I used to and it showed today. I went with what I had thought were viable options but clearly werent and my team got beat (albeit by a nose hair). So I’d like to be prepared next time a stranger comes at me on the street again. Thoughts?
My team -
1. Dragonite L40 DB/DC
2. Mewtwo L40 PC/SB
3. Tyranitar L40 B/C
Their Team -
1. Gyarados L? WF/HP/C
2. Latias L? DB/OR
3. Scizor L? FC/XC
On the surface you have good matchups here. Dragonite vs. Gyarados is a win for you, and if he switches to Latias, you're still ahead because you have the faster DB/DC moveset. Mewtwo would also be very effective against Latias, as would your Ttar. The only matchup that really worries me is Ttar against Scizor, but you should even win that because of the huge CP discrepancy.
So how did the battle go? Where do you think you weren't optimal?
The Dragonite wasn't necessary as Ttar would have covered Latias. Personally, I've moved away from Dragons in master because either people don't use the Flying Dragons or Ttar will take the others. I would have subbed in Metagross.
My personal master team is Lugia/Metagross/Ttar, though the dual Psychic types is an Achilles heel.
I know Ttar can hit hard and effectively, but it has so many weaknesses that are common types in Master PvP. Ground, Steel, and Water are all used, and give Ttar fits, as well as the double weakness to fighting (which ought be more present in the Master league, especially Counter, that alone can take down a Ttar right quick.)
Hitting the psychics back hard is good, but Ttar isn't the only one that can do that.
