How to Make a Good Pokémon X and Y Rarely Used (RU) Team

Step-by-Step Guide

1. 1

   Step 1: Start off with a Pokémon.

   There are many Pokémon in RU, some more viable than others.
   
   Either decide to build your team around 1 Pokémon, or use a certain role (Different roles are a good thing to use when actually building the team around 1 Pokémon).

   Step 2: Use mostly the same rules for your second Pokémon.

   However, after you have decided your first Pokémon, you can always make a core (pair which helps each other by making up for the other's weaknesses) between this and your second Pokémon. , The third, fourth, fifth, and sixth Pokémon apply the same.
   
   However, you should probably apply a lead (a Pokémon that sets up entry hazards/or is intended to provide support for certain Pokémon in the first turn), an anti-lead (Pokémon that intends to stop lead Pokémon from doing their "job"), and a wall (very defensive, can take hits) or a tank (similar, but can dish out more damage) as well as a hard hitter. , Once you have six Pokémon, look at any glaring weaknesses your team has (type disadvantages, getting walled by a certain Pokémon, getting defeated by a certain Pokémon).
   
   Then, find ways to get past said weaknesses.
   
   This includes replacing Pokémon and putting necessary moves on certain Pokémon to get past weaknesses. , Then start laddering and battling!
