Team pitfalls when building around Azelf

  • Do not stack too many teammates that are also weak to bug, ghost, and dark.
  • Sweepers usually need defensive pivots or status support so they can enter safely.
  • Check whether legendary or mythical Pokemon are allowed in your game rules or competitive format.
