This team is based around using Sylveon’s move copycat along with strong set up moves to give Sylveon boosts that it could not get otherwise. Sylveon is max speed modest so that it gets the maximum possible attacking power out of its moves, since the point of it is to be a nuke. Copycat is not a targetable move, instead it copies the last move used on the battlefield. Because of this, Blastoise is one speed higher than Sylveon and Kommo-o is one speed higher than Blastoise. This ensures that Sylveon is always copying Blastoise or Kommo-o’s move instead of one of the opponents. Indeedee is on the team to protect from Prankster Encore/Taunt, Fake Out, and provide redirection. Let’s look at how you play with each of the possible combinations of mons. Sylveon + Kommo-o: Either use Clangorous Soul or Boomburst with Kommo-o and Copycat with Sylveon. Sylveon’s high special defense stat keeps it from taking too much damage from Kommo-o’s Boomburst and and Soundproof protects Kommo-o from Sylveon’s Boomburst. Sylveon + Blastoise: Shell smash or Fake Out with Blastoise and then Copycat with Sylveon if you used Shell Smash. If Blastoise isn’t very damaged use Water Spout, but otherwise, use Ice Beam to weaken opponents for Sylveon to finish off with Hyper Voice. Blastoise + Kommo-o: Fake Out with Blastoise on the most threatening opponent to let Kommo-o use Clangorous Soul safely, then use coverage moves to win. Blastoise + Indeedee: Indeedee uses Follow Me turn one to give Blastoise a free turn to use Shell Smash, then Helping Hand with Blastoise’s Water Spout the next turn to nuke the opponent. Kommo-o + Indeedee: Same thing as with Blastoise except using Clangorous Soul and Clanging Scales instead of Shell Smash and Water Spout. This team is pretty successful in room tours and doesn’t have any major weaknesses. It also introduces new players to some of the more fun strategies and synergies involved in the 2v2 metagame.
