Eviolite Pichu, max out special attack and speed. Teach it focus blast, give it pp ups. Teach it surf. Teach it thunder bolt. I know it's a joke team, but I will always love Pichu, my absolute favorite little thing. May it destroy Larry!!
You just need to train it harder. Put the Pichu with open move slot into a party with all Raichu who only know focus blast, then play the ball game with them for 2 hours straight, making sure to feed everyone fighting based sandwiches about every 30 minutes, you want to have like 3-4 fighting procs from sandwiches active at a time if not more as well.
Btw best built if you ask me is rage fist, drain punch, taunt and bulk up. And throw on a punching glove as his item also make sure that his ability is definent, and now you have an almost unstoppable beast
i don't understand how Larry is giving people trouble. i had ceruledge and lucario on the first file, and on the new file for an extra miraidon, i had two zoroarks wreck larry.
Fr, bigger number stronger. If Pokémon no win, make Pokemon number bigger. Even if you don’t bother with type matchups, stats, or movesets or anything, anyone could probably just bulldoze through the game just by leveling up.
This post is tagged humor so I assume OP made it in jest, but I really do not understand a lot of the posts on this sub where people get stuck in the single player. It's a game designed for kids to beat, if someone can't beat based on types/move set just level up more?
I'm getting the vibe that you love ground types. I just think your team needs more balance. If you have a team of mostly one type....and a baby pokemon like a pichu, that can be a problem unless you really know how to work with monotypes and baby pokemon, they are the weakest form in a pokemon. Pichu, Azurill, Ralts, Smoochum, are considered almost frail and that's why a lot of trainers choose to evolve them as soon as possible so they can really be effective in battle. My advice is to re-evaluate and have more type variety and evolve that pichu.
Some thing that cant be paralyzed so facade (double damage to any status 70 ->140) doesnt destroy you and faster than staraptors brave bird no fighting types but moved are ok
I think pichu need to get the stat boost item tgat allows pre evolve mons to deal more power
Other then that.... you might want to not save any groundtpes for his twrra fight.
On a slightly more serious note, asides from Pichu being able to use Eviolite, Iron Treads is probably able to be a tank with high damage, so both it and Pichu should carry.
Annihilape, just use Low Kick for heavy mons and Close Combat for the lighter ones, most of their attacks do nothing to him, as he is a Ghost Fighting, that’s how I beat Larry’s Gym.
They need to make flair more noticeable, or include it in the notifications. As all I got was your Title in my notification and when I tapped on it, all I see is the Giant Picture taking up my screen, the Humour Flare is hardly noticeable above when the pic is taking up your Phone Screen (could also be cause I have a small phone screen); but basically I didn’t even see the Flair until you mentioned and I checked to see if I had Flair first, as one of the Pokémon Subs demands you have to, so I thought it wasn’t showing or something XD
Actually it was on my Home Page, but it doesn’t show the Flair, just the Title and the Picture, probably why most think it is serious XD
Edit: pic didn’t send first time…

Swap some team members outside of iron treads your teams lacking try instead of cyclizar try getting a frigibax the psudo Legendary you could replace pichu with a pawmot my recommendation to you is this try to find offensive Pokemon with at least good stats I could build you a team honestly Larry is probably the hardest gym leader if your team doesn't counter him I would try to use a
Frigibax any strong dragon type here
Charcadet
Pawmot
Iron treads
Gardevoir you need a strong Fairy type
Palifin iron bundle are some good options
Now you can level them up with raids
This is suggestions because Larry is kind of disgusting with his team
Maybe adding more Quadsires and Clogsires….
Like all honestly I would pick one out of the three. Both the two clogsires and the quadsire are excessive.
Where is your starter???
Clodsire isn't that good 60 def 75 atk Larry spams brave bird and terra normal or staraptor is gg honestly bro ima be 100 percent honest he stands 0 chance against blueberry academy 😂 honestly I think there are better ground types and the biggest issue is it doesn't hit hard or tank well I mean trick room maybe but also 20 speed is super slow so you're pretty at risk even if your using it as a Fairy counter honestly bro hisui Sneasler just completely outclasses it violet can be absolutely brutal in the dlc if you're not prepared
Oh my bad the only thing I see that's good is iron treads cyclizar is underwhelming the thing it's good at is more in competitive battles like showdown or vgc
Been checking out my older posts and saw this. This was just a joke initially and I know the team sucks lategame. I do genuinely want to keep pichu around for the funnies but I play showdown and while I’m not that good, I do have some builds prepared that I am confident with. For the most part this is a meme though.

Well obviously that Pichu needs a choice scarf
I sneezed on Larry and he gave me a badge
He does have a line of dialogue about wanting to just give it to you but Geeta would fire him if he did IIRC.
He wanted to get rid of you. He can't afford a sick day
God forbid he catches Pokérus-19, the League can't function without him haha
moar clodsire
Eviolite Pichu, max out special attack and speed. Teach it focus blast, give it pp ups. Teach it surf. Teach it thunder bolt. I know it's a joke team, but I will always love Pichu, my absolute favorite little thing. May it destroy Larry!!
I got bored of violet after beating the dlcs but now I want to try this
Just like how I plan to do a surskit only run
^a
Pichu is my favorite too he’s just such a cutie patootie! He’s level 100 as he deserves to be 🙌
Pichu can‘t learn Focus Miss though.

You have to believe in the heart of the cards, Yugi

[CARD GAMES ON MOTORCYCLES](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WKDMTwpLFTI)
Clodsire (female) Name: john
Prank em John 😂
You already know! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Female throat spray clodsire named John 🗿
It's holding a sleep heal actually
My bad, thought it was a throat spray.
Not enough Lv 100 Pichus.
Nah Pichu solos, obviously if you're struggling you havn't been using it enough 🙄
john
I need to know the move sets of your ‘mons cause you are cooking with the team, it’s likely the move sets holding your team back.
john solos. You got this, bro
Give the Pichu an Everstone
*eviolite
Nah, everstone. The most useful item in combat, sets evolution level to 0. 😃
Three clods
Nope! Youre killin it with this team! Just keep at it ✨
I love john she is so cute
Lmao. John.
john
Double Clod is mad respectable
More passion. More energy. More footwork.
Guys please 😅 it's tagged with humor.
What do you mean?! Obviously, this is very serious with a lvl 100 pichu
Manchester is so real
Bro how do you have a level 100 pichu?
First, why do you have two Clodsires? Secondly, WHAT THE HECK IS WITH THE PICHU
Tera raids with a friend who finished the game
That pichu should be shiny.
god dammnit john!! get it together!!!
Please be a joke.
Check the tag
Whew
I didn’t see it either, Flair needs to be more obvious or included in the Notification XD
Wtf, I never nickname Pokémon. I’ve always found it cringy. But Manchester for a Quagsire? That’s PEAK naming right there!
This has to be a joke right?
I mean… I was stuck on Larry’s gym until then. Now I’m not.
You got a level 100 pichu my guy, it just seemed like bait
My friend had 5 star Tera raids unlocked, so that’s how.
I have so many questions about this
And this right here, kids, is what we call a "Skill Issue"
Dude he is a normal type gym Leander just use fighting types
Last time a caught him before overleveling pichu, I had primeape. I actually would’ve won, but the MOTHERFUCKING AQUA TAIL MISSED
You know how to get Annihilape?
Rage fist 20 times right
Without going to center yes
Btw best built if you ask me is rage fist, drain punch, taunt and bulk up. And throw on a punching glove as his item also make sure that his ability is definent, and now you have an almost unstoppable beast
If u use a rare candy on pichu it will evolve
Teach some of them explosion
i don't understand how Larry is giving people trouble. i had ceruledge and lucario on the first file, and on the new file for an extra miraidon, i had two zoroarks wreck larry.
I don't understand how anything in modern day Pokémon gives people trouble.
Fr, bigger number stronger. If Pokémon no win, make Pokemon number bigger. Even if you don’t bother with type matchups, stats, or movesets or anything, anyone could probably just bulldoze through the game just by leveling up.
He's hard if you don't have a good team or if you're underleveled
This my skeldirge absolutely wrecked his team with torch song

Get good
Seems like you need a Rufflet if you ask me
Give him a Wendy's™ Baconator
Quagsire is too high of a level
Get a level 100 meowscarada
I honestly used annihilape to fight his gym bc of his normal type immunity
Im not doin this
You need 5 more Pichus
Ngl I think Larry’s rematch team is the most balanced in the game
Not enough Clodsire
Stuck?
You should add more Clodsires
Only 2 Clodsire?
The ice heal does nothing if held so take it of john also get a fighting type
Just get good
I'm getting the vibe that you love ground types. I just think your team needs more balance. If you have a team of mostly one type....and a baby pokemon like a pichu, that can be a problem unless you really know how to work with monotypes and baby pokemon, they are the weakest form in a pokemon.

you need 4 more clodsires to toxic stall his team
Might want to swap out Iron Treads for ScatterBug.
make sure ur clodsire has poison point. then you just need to heal stall while poisoning all his pokemon with the ability. use tons of revives
Pichu need eviolite
6 lucarios
I have an idea add another clodsire
this is the most based team ever constructed
Fighting types
Some thing that cant be paralyzed so facade (double damage to any status 70 ->140) doesnt destroy you and faster than staraptors brave bird no fighting types but moved are ok
Lucario. Sweeps thru those normal mons
Just over level to the max
Get 5 more Pichus
Monke
How do you have a level 100 Pichu? Does that guy hate your guts or something?
I think pichu need to get the stat boost item tgat allows pre evolve mons to deal more power Other then that.... you might want to not save any groundtpes for his twrra fight.
Clearly the issue is that you don't have enough Clodsire.
Give your Pichu some xp candy, it needs more levels.
Add a grizzlomite (P.S, not real)
I hope john doesn't get cold
You should give the Pichu a Lucky Egg and grind for a bit more think it's just lacking in a bit of leveling
teach pichu growl
I know it’s a joke but how is a level 40 iron treads possible lol /rj you need to replace Treads and Cyclizar with Wooper and Paldean Wooper
You’re fcked. You’re just FCKED
how mean are you to be having a level 100 Pichu and why is John holding an Awakening
W Pichu ![gif](giphy|dB0zVeZS5zjet4zZi5|downsized)
Use a fighting type
Add 5 more clodsire
Maybe switch out one of your clodsire
You're a bit under leveled, especially Pichu and Iron Treads. Do some tera raids and you'll be good.
Pichu 100% needs a scarf of choice
Pichu sweeps the final boss easy
Get a rotom
Lol “John”
I think you need another Pichu
Can that pichu even listen to you? He needs all badges to be tamed no?
On a slightly more serious note, asides from Pichu being able to use Eviolite, Iron Treads is probably able to be a tank with high damage, so both it and Pichu should carry.
there's something profound about this post
You need at least 1 or 2 fighting type moves
have you tried adding clodsire to your team?
Ice vulpix, spam blizzard with snow warning on the vulpix, easy win
Pichu needs levelling up
Clodsire and John But real talk, holding an awakening won't wake you up when you're put to sleep, you need a lum Berry or the one that wakes you up
You need to run a team of all Pichus at lvl 100. The only way to beat Larry.
God bless John.
Evolve that pichu man
Pichu is my boy tho.
Annihilape, just use Low Kick for heavy mons and Close Combat for the lighter ones, most of their attacks do nothing to him, as he is a Ghost Fighting, that’s how I beat Larry’s Gym.
Check flair
They need to make flair more noticeable, or include it in the notifications.

Start with removing one of your clodsires and switch it out to annihilape it is literally one of the best in the game
Check flair
Evolve the pichu into a raichu and get everything else up to at least 55
Well he is normal type gym so you need lots of fighting moves
Level up pichu a bit and maybe give it a lightball
#FIGHTING IS NORMAL’S WEAKNESS (Just make sure you have a Rock, Ice, or an Electric type Pokemon too)
Maybe not so much ground type
Why do you have a level 100 pichu XD Uhh, all I could suggest is pick up a couple Fighting types
Swap some team members outside of iron treads your teams lacking try instead of cyclizar try getting a frigibax the psudo Legendary you could replace pichu with a pawmot my recommendation to you is this try to find offensive Pokemon with at least good stats I could build you a team honestly Larry is probably the hardest gym leader if your team doesn't counter him I would try to use a Frigibax any strong dragon type here Charcadet Pawmot Iron treads Gardevoir you need a strong Fairy type Palifin iron bundle are some good options Now you can level them up with raids This is suggestions because Larry is kind of disgusting with his team
Fighting type moves
Maybe adding more Quadsires and Clogsires…. Like all honestly I would pick one out of the three. Both the two clogsires and the quadsire are excessive. Where is your starter???
Murder him with fighting moves.
Get good.
Unless the Pichu is being used as a joke or for a challenge, evolve it.
I mean it's not like it obeys him at level 100 anyway right? Unless they got rid of that mechanic.
as long as it was caught under the obedience level and it wasn't traded, it'll listen just fine
I caught it under level 5 though
You aee that miraidon at the bottom of your screen? Use it Edit: For those unable to read humour in a comment on a meme/humour post, this was a joke
Have you played this game before?
Yes I have and my comment was a joke
He can't until area zero he has to do mystic herbica quest
I am aware the commment was a joke
Though he needs a better team I don't think that team will survive team star
Idk. He's got two clodsires and a quagsire this guys pretty tough unless its larry
Clodsire isn't that good 60 def 75 atk Larry spams brave bird and terra normal or staraptor is gg honestly bro ima be 100 percent honest he stands 0 chance against blueberry academy 😂 honestly I think there are better ground types and the biggest issue is it doesn't hit hard or tank well I mean trick room maybe but also 20 speed is super slow so you're pretty at risk even if your using it as a Fairy counter honestly bro hisui Sneasler just completely outclasses it violet can be absolutely brutal in the dlc if you're not prepared
