Also, should the 6th member be Aegislash or Kartana

 

[Sceptile Leaf Blade]

Can't use Gardevoirite or Greninja or Z-moves in Sword/Shield.

 

[JagLaser]

This is not in Sword shield, all of these things are applicable

 

[Sceptile Leaf Blade]

Well Toxtricity is only in gen 8 and Z- moves and Mega Gardevoir are only on 3DS games, so there is literally no environment where your team is possible

It's a simulator format.

 

[SSBrandon]

Now that's very good Pokemon

 

[MinorMash31]

It's a simulator format.

Is the format called
"[gen 9] national dex?"
on pokemon showdown, you can use all of the pokemon on Jaglaser's team

I would use Kartana myself, as even though Kartana has less bulk, if it sets up right It can snowball through entire teams with Beast Boost. Maybe give it a choice scarf as it can't outspeed a lot of important pokemon that knock it out like Chi Yu.

How long have you been with pokemon?

 

[MinorMash31]

I honestly don't know, I mean I played Pokemon X as soon as it came out and then I started getting competitive in 2023.

Nice setup overall — your team’s got solid offensive coverage and good type variety. Garchomp with Rocky Helmet punishes contact really well, and Volcarona + Greninja together apply strong mixed pressure.

Between Kartana and Aegislash, I’d probably go with Aegislash. It gives you both a solid Steel STAB and a Fighting move through Close Combat, while also helping against Ghost threats. Weakness Policy + Autotomize can really sweep late-game once faster threats are handled.

If you go with Kartana instead, it adds momentum and raw power, but you’ll lose that Ghost resist and a bit of special bulk. You might also consider a defensive pivot like Tapu Fini or Rotom-Wash to help cover Fire and Water matchups.

For reference, you can see my current team on stickwarlgacy.com — it’s pretty similar and handles those same type gaps pretty well.
