Which Pokemon is a good Trick Room setter?

Question

When I did a Ranked Battle I lost because of Trick Room. I wanted to do the same so I bough the TM. But I don't know which Pokemon would be good to set it up. This is for Doubles.

Hatterene uses Trick Room nicely, imo.

It also depends on your team.

Answer 1

Hatterene - Hatterene is one of the best Trick Room setters because it can't be Taunted, so it requires extra effort to prevent Trick Room. It also has a really good special attack and a spread move in Dazzling Gleam.

Dusclops - Dusclops doesn't have Magic Bounce, but it has so much bulk with Eviolite that it will most of the time pull off a Trick Room. It can also support with Will-O-Wisp, Ally Switch, and Helping Hand, but can also go on the offensive with Night Shade.

These are probably the two best Trick Room setters in VGC.

Hope this helped!

Ok when I battled there was a Dusclops but since Hatterene is a dual type, should I add her. And if possible can you answer if it should be Gigantamaxed. Amd mine doesn't have an hidden ability so what should I do?

And Dusclops is normally more used in Ranked. Mimikyu can soak up a hit with Disguise so what about it. Is it useable. I've seen him used so much in VGC.

---

yeah gigantamax would work, but it's not necessary, especially if your team struggles with status
dusclops has more usage over hatterene, so it's really your choice of what you want on your team. Offensive Trick Room setter (Hatterene), or Defensive Trick Room setter (Dusclops)

---

mimikyu is alright, but it's not as good as hatterene or dusclops imo
it doesn't have much offensive pressure

---

I lost all three matches today and have been trying every strategy in mind. And about Dusclops, I have a Dusknoir so I could use that.

---

dusknoir doesn't have as much bulk, but try it out and see if it works for you

---

I mean I just cheked but Hatterene doesn't have much Sp. Def.

---

103 base special defense??? or do you mean compared to dusknoir

---

Compared to Dusknoir.

---

And mine has Hatterene has Healer I think.

---

alright since you don't have a magic bounce hatterene you could use dusknoir
