Launch S1 builds

Recommended Teams

Three lineups, their key skills, and how to play them.

Original launch-season loadouts.
Skills may differ from the current dex.

Light Spirit Cycle

Build energy. Lower skill costs.

Game plan

Let Fistune build Light Energy and use Light Spirit Aid to lower the cost of Unicorn’s signature skill.

Use your Light Spirit skill before Magic Trick swaps it with the enemy’s; switch Jellybelle out when it needs to heal.

Defense Break

Control the target. Break its defense.

Game plan

Use Sandlord’s Magic Trick to swap away the enemy’s key Light Spirit skill, with Psykat providing control.

Switch Blazewing Dragon in repeatedly to lower the target’s Defense, then attack with Dragonheart Pierce.

Defense & Sustain

Raise defense. Keep your carry healthy.

Game plan

Use Earth Escape to bring Muscledog in with a Defense boost; keep Rockspine Catshark alive to protect boosted allies from critical hits.

Sunshine Doll sets Harsh Sunlight, then uses its signature skill to heal and raise Defense.

Keep Sunshine Doll unevolved

Alternative: replace Sunshine Doll with Psykat.
