SM LC Teambuilding Compendium
​

Hello and welcome to the teambuilding compendium for SM LC. The goal of this visual guide is to convey which Pokémon fill which roles in the metagame in order to aid with building teams. For each subcategory, the Pokémon are ordered based on their rank in the Viability Rankings. While this guide is fairly thorough, it does not cover everything, so if there is anything that you think should be added, feel free to post below!

Since Pikipek maxes out at 17 Speed, I don't think it is fast enough to be a Swords Dance / Z-Mirror Move sweeper. It can use Flame Charge effectively, but it doesn't really have the means of running both effectively, especially since its primary attacking move is Brave Bird. I guess it could be a decent wallbreaker though, so I've added it to the list of physical wallbreakers.

Eevee cannot learn Happy Hour. It seems that it can be selected in PO's teambuilder, but that is a bug that needs fixing / may require the next update.

 

Eevee can learn Celebrate, but it cannot use it in LC because that event Eevee is at Level 10 when obtained. Like Happy Hour, the PO teambuilder incorrectly lets you use it. I'm going to report both of these.

 

Yes. I also added it to setup sweepers and physical wallbreakers.
