Do you know if it's VGC or OU or something like that? If VGC, what series? Are there any Pokemon, moves, or abilities that you're not allowed to use?

---

It is Vgc. What do you mean by series? The move Dragon acent is banned, the ability battle bond is banned and there are no pokemon banned but you can only have up to two of these pokemon: Mewtwo, Lugia, Ho-Oh, Kyogre, Groudon, Rayquaza, Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, Reshiram, Zekrom, Kyurem, Xernaes, Yveltal, Zygarde, Solgaleo, Lunala, Necrozma. All z-moves are banned, all mega stones are banned and red and blue orb are banned.

---

In that case, it's probably Sun Series. VGC19 has 3 series, Sun, Moon, and Ultra, but I still haven't found a good place explaining what each series is.

As for your team, I think you're not using the best Pokemon. Why would you use Primarina when you could be using Kyogre? Why would you use Celesteela when you could be using Ferrothorn? Why would you use Giratina when you could be using Lunala? Why would you use Blaziken when you could be using Incineroar? Why would you use Abomasnow when you could be using Kartana?

The series is Ultra Moon.

---

I think mega stones and Z-crystals are allowed in Ultra Series.

---

No mega stones and z-crystals are not allowed. You can check the rules, just go to this site aand click ful rules under video game. https://internationals.eslpkm.com.au/rules/

---

That rule sheet says it's Moon Series.

---

What is the difference between Moon and Ultra Moon because it says I can use Ultra Moon game card

---

Moon and Ultra Moon are games. Moon Series and Ultra Series are competitive battling formats. There's no Pokemon game called Ultra or a VGC format called Ultra Moon Series. I think the difference between Moon Series and Ultra Series is that Moon Series bans mega stones and Ultra Series allows them.

Thanks for the help. As you can tell I am a very new competitive player.

Answer 1

I would recommend not using abomasnow unless mega evolving, and celesteela is not ideal. However, I understand if u have put lots of effort into training them and find them quite powerful.
Ninjask would be a good 6th pokemon. I always use it until I find something better, as it is very useful.
Very good move sets :) except for ingrain, which is probably best substituted for a move like rock slide to compliment abomasnows weakness to fire and flying. with an abomasnow that is relaxed or something that promotes def, then feel free to use ingrain
Only suggestions

Why would you use Ninjask when you can use Yveltal instead?
