Pokemon

[sharp kernel]

I got to explore the galarian birds outside of moltres again

[fading stratus]

you could run like fully offensive thundurus

i remember someone talking about grassy seed zapdos + rilaboom

[sharp kernel]

btw i told you the rillaboom hits hurt, but it would still see pretty wide usage

mon is legitly what incineroar is to fire in a sense

[fading stratus]

we could get grassy glide in dlc ig

which would make it a lot better

[sharp kernel]

keep it in the spot it's in imo

it's still really good, but not the force it was last gen

[fading stratus]

they gave the genies fucking signature moves

also lando learns the +2 spa move whose name i forgot because i'm half asleep

nasty plot

so who knows

[sharp kernel]

I'd be curious to see how relevant nasty plot ends up being on him in doubles, and just his general relevance since bundle exists

[fading stratus]

bundle kinda in thin ice

eleki hard checks it

also feel like stuff like heatran would check it too

and urshifu

[sand forge]

Speaking of Signature Moves

Strength was Machamps signature??

[outer eagle]

wasn't it Cross Chop

[sand forge]

Wasn't Cross Chop Primeape

oh, apparently not

[golden lance]

Why upset?

[young magnet]

[sleek sky]

okay
tonight we start Sword

what number should I pick

[fading stratus]

I mean why wouldn't you be

[sharp kernel]

To be that good to top an event with only 5 days prep is insane

I’m theorying for an event that could or could not happen in September

[fading stratus]

What kind of teams do you play thugs

Like I really like hyper offensive teams because they generally tend to have fast games but those types of teams also have kinda very low margin of error so if you don't call a protect you might just lose from that

[sharp kernel]

This is the first year I ever got serious about VGC, so I did a TR team as my first team earlier in the year, and after that I did a flex TR team with Kilowattrel/kingambit/quaquaval/indeedee/amoongus/armarouge

That was probably the peak of my team building so far, then I had to get ready to move so I stopped for a good while

Now that I have more time I want to start theorying again

[fading stratus]

Ah gotcha

Kilowattrel

[sharp kernel]

Kilowattrel fucked so hard in early SV testing

[fading stratus]

It probably did I just never tested it

[sharp kernel]

The thing about it was you ran kilowattrel with competitive and focus sash, you would show indeedee + armorouge as the most likely lead, but you could go Kilowattrel + amoongus, set up tailwind, threaten ko’s with Kilowattrel and run quaquaval in the back which at the time had a good amount of solid matchups

And 1 KO with either quaquaval or Kilowattrel would snowball you the game

[fading stratus]

125 speed does make it one of the fastest TR setter

I was playing like psychic seed drifblim during series a

[slate marlin]

I feel sorry for when I used to think stat-lowering moves were useless.

well now you know they're situationally solid

blue-eyes white kyurem

[wild imp]

Aren’t the current shinies like really bad

Or there’s barely a diff

[outer eagle]

White Zekrom looks...weird tbh

Black Reshiram does look cool tho

[wild imp]

I like white zekrom

Black reshi is ight

[outer eagle]

there is just something about Zekrom's stance and his body details that makes white not work for me, but hey, preferences

[wild imp]

I wonder if they’ll do gen 5 remakes this gen

If they do

I wonder if we’ll somehow get paradoxes

[outer eagle]

the chances are probably pretty high

[wild imp]

Or if it’ll be bdsp 2

[outer eagle]

i'm just wondering what form they're doing gen 5 in

[wild imp]

Oh yeah

This is the first remake post open world

Well “first”

[outer eagle]

Kyurem can be a decent Paradox

[wild imp]

think bigger

True dragon

Legends unova would be cool

[outer eagle]

gonna need to pull some horseshoe powercreep to bring the legends up to snuff with the current powerlevel in Ubers

[wild imp]

Just make the true dragon have an item for it

And make it act like a mega

+100 stats

Lots you can do with 780 base

[outer eagle]

raw bst is not as much of a concern as ability tbh

the most broken part is usually concentrated in the ability

[wild imp]

Mold breaker again!

What’s kyurems ability?

Pressure?

[outer eagle]

Pressure yeah

[wild imp]

Pressure mold breaker sounds pretty nice

ESP with the recovery PP nerfs

[outer eagle]

they could make True Dragon a pure Dragon with an ability that grants STAB to Ice/Fire/Electric ig
maybe even throw in the Mold Breaker gimmick as a bonus

[wild imp]

This was an idea I had

It’s just what you said

But it gains an extra resistance to those types as well

And can’t get be frozen/parad/burned

[outer eagle]

that's a lot of minor addons

[wild imp]

It’s flavor

It also means you aren’t weak to ice

Just nuetral

[outer eagle]

GF generally doesn't like to do abilities with too many separate effects (pls ignore Calyrex)

[wild imp]

No

I won’t

Also caly is like

The best base we have

But if it’s just combine abilities

It’s just pressure + mold breaker

Which Is like ight

[outer eagle]

first pokemon with 3 types

[wild imp]

4*

The ice disrespect is crazy

[outer eagle]

lorewise the Ice was only there cuz it's hollow right

[wild imp]

Yeah true

But it stayed in the half fusions

[outer eagle]

also pls don't make it Ice type again that's a death sentence

[wild imp]

So ig this depends on when we make the true dragon

If it’s a legends thing

Probs no Ice

If it’s like

Gen 5 remakes

Probs ice

What is in really excited for is gen 10

Since that means gen 6 remakes

So megas again

But by then

Most people in this chat will be in their 30s

[outer eagle]

it's 2 years

hopefully next time they give Mega forms to mons that actually need those

also give the rest of the pseudos Megas tbh

weird that gen2-4 pseudos got Megas but not the other gens

[wild imp]

Wtf was the gen 2 psuedo

[outer eagle]

TTar

[wild imp]

He has a mega

[outer eagle]

yeah that's why i corrected the comment

[wild imp]

But I’d like dnite/hydra/goodra to get megas

Honestly just give more kalos and unova pokes megas

[outer eagle]

of all the Unovan mons they could have chosen

they decided that fucking Audino was the one to get

[wild imp]

We will finally get mega flygon

In 7 years

[crimson moat]

They are not that good yeah

Shiny Zekrom has stronger contrast on the black parts, and a green glow instead of blue.

Shiny Reshiram had gold rings instead of white, and red eyes instead of blue. Reshiram’s tail glows purple instead of red-orange.

[wild imp]

It’ll be funny to see mega ray and zacian both exist together

Or just like

All the primals tbh

[outer eagle]

assuming that they won't Dexit Zacian

[wild imp]

He’s a legend

They don’t dexited

[outer eagle]

is Meloette a legend?

[wild imp]

She’s a mythic

Idt darkrai has come back either

[crimson moat]

If Greninja didn’t make it into SwSh, anything is honestly fair game

[wild imp]

Gren isn’t a legend

[crimson moat]

…

[wild imp]

Like all the box legends have come back twice

In both Gen 8 and 9

In some fashion

[outer eagle]

GF probably wants to pretend Gren doesn't exist tbh (especially Battle Bond Gren)

[crimson moat]

Greninja
The fan favorite Pokémon
One of the top 5 most popular Pokémon

Didn’t make it in

The point is they can do and will do whatever they want

[wild imp]

With what they’ve shown

[fading stratus]

Battle bond who?

[wild imp]

They do tend to brick back pokes

That are on boxes

Or like

Yknow the gen 1 trio

[sharp kernel]

idk about this "battle bond" you speak of

its been wiped from my brain

[wild imp]

Like I get the sentiment

[crimson moat]

With what they’ve shown, you are way too trusting

[wild imp]

If I’m wrong I’m wrong

But based on the last 2 gens (counting the current)

[crimson moat]

They can absolutely afford to cut legends if they want and that should not be a given that they are in

[wild imp]

I’m more than likely correct

[crimson moat]

You mean including gen 7, from before they started cutting stuff?

Oh nice so you mean 1 gen

[wild imp]

??

[crimson moat]

Because we aren’t done with gen 9 lol

[wild imp]

and we’ve gotten the legends back already?

with home?

We may not be done

But it’s already happened

[sharp kernel]

I wonder what we'll get that's similar to the galarian birds in the dlc

rehash of ho-oh and lugia wouldn't make sense, unless it's some time travel arceus fuckery

[outer eagle]

well

the dogs already got their "upgrade", same for Birds, and Regis

[sharp kernel]

speaking of, shout out to the new best boy

regidrago

[wild imp]

Shadow Iugia in the main games

Real

[fading stratus]

probably will be paradox based on some starters or something

charizard hasnt gotten its share of gen 9 love

[outer eagle]

realistically now that they've done non-solid Regis, they can keep making new Regi forms

[sharp kernel]

paradox Totodile please

[wild imp]

Paradox aggron

[fading stratus]

Regibug prayge

[outer eagle]

instead of having 2 quad weaknesses it has 3 this time

yep discord is killing itself for me now

[fading stratus]

Regibug will probably be bad

tbh

[outer eagle]

anything Bug that isn't secondary Steel is bad tbh

[fading stratus]

volcarona

[outer eagle]

true

is Volc good in VGC?

in Singles sure

[wild imp]

She isn’t iirc

[fading stratus]

good

[wild imp]

That’s surprising

[fading stratus]

tera water rocky helmet flame body volc was good last format

the format is a bit fast for it rn

[sharp kernel]

idk why they just don't buff the bug type tbh, it's so simple; make them hit fairy super effective and resist poison and make them damage ghost normally

[outer eagle]

Heat Wave is always good ig

and Flame Body has some cheese potential in Doubles

[fading stratus]

more like rage powder user that learns tailwind

[wild imp]

This comes with the issue of buffing uturn

Like flip turn was already a mistake

[outer eagle]

isn't Volc's speed a bit slow to be a reliable Tailwind user

[fading stratus]

100 speed is okay

[wild imp]

100 speed is okay

[outer eagle]

it was okay a decade ago

[wild imp]

People from 10 years ago are coming for you

[fading stratus]

last format was slow enough for it to be okay

[sharp kernel]

100 speed is still good (as long as you got bulk to back that up also)

[wild imp]

We need blissey but for the other stat types

[fading stratus]

100 speed was trick room speed last gen btw

[wild imp]

255 attack or smthn

Dies by breathing near it

[fading stratus]

eleki is for speed ig

[outer eagle]

that 255 point allocated anywhere but HP makes the mon absolutely useless

[fading stratus]

unless

[wild imp]

255 speed

[fading stratus]

255 speed would be okay depending on if its a good sp attacker or speed controller or both

[sharp kernel]

regieleki was a fine design till they decided somewhere in the design process to to give it transistor

[wild imp]

Honestly they should give the old Regis transistor look alikes

Drago and eleki got them

[outer eagle]

well if we use Bliss' exact stats you have a 135 point stat to dump into

[wild imp]

Give regice ice force or smthn idk

1.3x on ice moves

[outer eagle]

altho this would make it so frail that it probably even dies to Fake Out

[wild imp]

Dump into phys attack

Give it uturn

[crimson moat]

Regirock not getting Solid Rock

[sharp kernel]

drago is basically better blissey tbh

that 200 hp stat

with decent offensive stats

[wild imp]

Blissey but not passive

Just what vgc wanted

[outer eagle]

in VGC everything needs some offensive capability ig

[crimson moat]

Registeel got Light Metal lmfao

[outer eagle]

he's working out man

don't shame him

[crimson moat]

He just took off his pants

[wild imp]

Registeel with steel worker

[outer eagle]

Registeel is so weak that even with Steelworker you aint doing much

[sharp kernel]

dhelmise my beloved, why did they do you so dirty

[outer eagle]

Anchor Shot was a cool move at least

i loved using Dhelmise in pre-DLC gen 7 OU

[wild imp]

Anchor shot kept BH playable

[outer eagle]

imagine playing BH tbw

[wild imp]

Peak meta

[crimson moat]

Regirock get Solid Rock
Regice get Refrigerate
Registeel get Mirror Armor and Defiant Cursed Body

[outer eagle]

And Regigigas?

[crimson moat]

Truant

[fading stratus]

well except amoongus
pollen puff isnt a "offensive capability" smh

[outer eagle]

it is kidge

[sharp kernel]

Regighost will get shadow tag trust

[outer eagle]

and well, Spore is offensive capability

[wild imp]

Banned to AG

ESP if that’s it’s only ability

[outer eagle]

anything with Shadow Tag with a BST above 400 will be banned to Ubers real quick

[wild imp]

How is our lord and savior breloom

[wild imp]

Anything with shadow tag is banned*

If it has good bst it’s sent up to AG

[outer eagle]

Shadow Tag Shedinja

good luck

[crimson moat]

no longer has wonder guard

[outer eagle]

that's the meme yes

[fading stratus]

is gothitelle banned to ubers

[outer eagle]

it used to be

then STag got banned overall

[wild imp]

People were using diglett and gothirita

Just for STag

so it was banned overall yeh

If an ability is causing OU to warp around fucking diglett

[fading stratus]

tf

[wild imp]

The issue is the ability

[crimson moat]

Still don’t like their logic for banning G Darm instead of GT but at least they keep consistency on that stuff

[fading stratus]

we need a new mega gengar 2 for vgc prayge
shadow tag with perish

[wild imp]

Only 1 total user

Vs multiple

[crimson moat]

Yes

But the logic was that if you banned GT you dealt with the coin flip problems G Darm presented.

And I said it was consistent because they banned G Darm by their logic

[wild imp]

You don’t have enough data to completely say what was broken in that exchange

Since it’s just 1

[outer eagle]

the solution is to ban all monkey pokemon

[wild imp]

Shit like shed got banned over the users

Bc it had multiple

[crimson moat]

Yes

[wild imp]

And it could easily be proven that’s the reason all of them were sent to Ubers

[crimson moat]

I follow

Yes

[wild imp]

Last respects made the rounds

Since it was the first offensive move

[crimson moat]

Yes

[wild imp]

That was banned

In the standard meta*

[crimson moat]

Jfc yes i get it

[wild imp]

Oh at this point I’m not making a point

Just making fun facts

But one thing I do find wierd/funny

Is how everyone says smogon loves stall

When just about every showdown player fucking despises it

[crimson moat]

It’s a meme for one of its admins

[wild imp]

Yeah ik

But I do find it strange how far it’s gotten

[sharp kernel]

I still think last respects would have probably been fine for singles until basculegion. Houndstone just isn't good enough to carry the move

[wild imp]

Stone was majority banned iirc

So most would disagree

[sharp kernel]

I never agreed with their reasoning tbh

[fading stratus]

wonder if basculegion will see any play in vgc

[sharp kernel]

"Couple of thoughts:

Yes Terrastal normal is a good counterplay to Houndstone but than you're forcing a metagame to lean a certain way just to counter play 1 Pokémon, which I believe doesn't give in to a healthy metagame. You should have to have a safety net for one Pokemon's OP move.

Houndstone being (Last Pokemon / 2nd Last Pokemon) + Last Respects + Sand Rush is really overpowering and the only thing that can beat it is a normal Terrastal or Shadow Sneak. You can counter the bringing a Pokémon with Shadow Sneak to every game by Tera changing into a normal type and being immune to the Shadow Sneak.

Which moves me onto my next point. The idea of changing your Pokemon's type into a different pure type while maintaining and retaining your Pokemon's original typing and having 2 different STAB boosts is OP. Lets just say you wanted a free Adaptability boost (Shoutout to Crawdaunt) you can just Teratilise into the same type as your Pokemon. I am not going to speak about what needs to be tested / banned but Teratilise in general does not induce skill in a competitive sense and can snowball into something nasty very quickly"

[crimson moat]

Houndstone also had the context of being bulkier and a speed buffing ability compared to Basculegion

[fading stratus]

basculegion has a speed buff ability too?

[wild imp]

basc has SS

and is just barely slower than floatzel i think

[crimson moat]

Was looking at arceus dex

Yeah it has SS

It originally had Rattled

At the time of the doge’s ban, that wasn’t known for Swift Swim

[wild imp]

oh nvm

stone was qbd

with flutter

https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/flutter-mane-and-houndstone-are-banned-from-sv-ou.3711131/

also reading the thread

specifically these parts

but he is correct thugs

tera in singles matters a fuckton

so having to basically play without it

is ass

[true pumice]

It's okay but the best mon of the format is a better water type

(urshifu)

[wild imp]

also you need to remember

[sharp kernel]

their first bans came 1 day after the game's official release. I'm aware poshow had the SV OU like a month before, but You can say all you want about balance, but a month of playing a meta is nowhere near enough info to make an accurate informed take on this, correct or not

[wild imp]

stone can be used midgame

like after 2 deaths its just 150 bp

[crimson moat]

Tera does induce skill to a degree but good play with Tera creates 50/50s that are not exactly healthy for the game. This is why there is also the push to get Tera type to be public knowledge instead of flat out banning it: you reduce the 50/50s and their impact.

[true pumice]

Yea tera preview is a popular suggestion

[crimson moat]

I still think it is way less toxic than Dynamax was in singles but that bar is in the ground

[wild imp]

i like tera preview before complete ban

[true pumice]

Same

You can unironically unban volc with preview

The issue was exactly not knowing if your counterplay actually beat it

[wild imp]

nah volc can stay in hell

[true pumice]

Until it hit the tera button

[fading stratus]

cant you like unban volc even without preview

[true pumice]

No

[wild imp]

no

[outer eagle]

well, evidently not

[true pumice]

As is volc is just a complete guess

[wild imp]

volc deserves to rot

[true pumice]

Until it clicks tera

That's awful

[wild imp]

volc is like ishtear if you will

its a gambole

but its in their favoir

and youre just left guessing

[true pumice]

Pretty much

[crimson moat]

Yeah Volc is way too rng without Tera preview at the least

[sharp kernel]

so volc is the strongest pokemon of all time is what you're saying?

[wild imp]

no im saying its a casino

but the volc player is the house

[true pumice]

So ya with preview I believe in retesting volc

Because the main issue is fixed

[outer eagle]

isn't Gambit making the rounds with all the Tera memes as well

[true pumice]

Yes gambit is broken too

[wild imp]

gambit is easier to check imo

[true pumice]

It is but it still should probably be looked at

It's running over WCOP

Pretty hard

[wild imp]

its a good dark type

is its issue

so banning it is a domino effect

like gho has to go

[true pumice]

I do dislike that we might ban a good defensive option, so far we only banned degen offense stuff, while gambit has a lot of offensive potential, it also has a ton of defensive potential and helps check certain things

[wild imp]

if gambit dies

[true pumice]

Like we're actually lacking hard in those already

It's the only reason I am not sure on gambit ban

[wild imp]

gambit is what stands between us and like

5 bans

[fading stratus]

then ban 6

[true pumice]

Simply ban tera if we still need to ban half the format after preview

[fading stratus]

doesnt something like ting lu check gholdengo in singles

[true pumice]

Yes but ting lu is mid as hell

[wild imp]

lu is just a blanket check overall

[sharp kernel]

doesn't Iron Hands check gambit also?

[wild imp]

the best check for gho is htrott

[true pumice]

It tanks hits but doesn't really do much

[wild imp]

but htrott is also a gho enabler

hands is mid

[true pumice]

Ya hands kinda mid too

[wild imp]

outside full TR*

[fading stratus]

well its good in doubles atleast

[wild imp]

ting lu isnt bad

[true pumice]

True in doubles it was hella broken before reg D

[wild imp]

its like the best blanket check overall

[true pumice]

Yea it's aight as a short term check to things

[wild imp]

but its also kinda passive

[true pumice]

But it lacks recovery and doesn't do much back

Also it's a ground

You know who else is a ground

( :

[fading stratus]

i think you need mystic water urshifu to reliably otk ting lu which is hilarious

[wild imp]

great tusk therian

ursifu-r was fun

but i undestand why it was banned

lead band was fun while it lasted

[fading stratus]

why?

[true pumice]

Am glad wetshifu was banned

[wild imp]

you ohko lando t through intim

and outspeed it

[fading stratus]

well crits ignore atk drop

[true pumice]

Only thing I am baffled by so far was zama-H avoiding QB into dnb majority

Like ???

[wild imp]

nah zama h is fine

hes best boy

[fading stratus]

is sneasler banned yet

[true pumice]

Nah

[wild imp]

nah

the reason for sneas ban will egit just be

"not fun"

[true pumice]

Ya

It's really mid with a goofy move

And that's kinda it

[wild imp]

"its rng bs"

[true pumice]

Guy is basically just better hawlucha but not by much

[fading stratus]

what it do? banded poison touch dire claw?

[wild imp]

thats about it

it also does unburden

but the main issue is claw being bs

[true pumice]

Exactly the same gimmick and wins on almost the same scenarios lucha would, but has an actual atk stat so doesn't rely on SD as much

So it's just better lucha wich is an RUBL mon

Cool

[wild imp]

and lucha is actuyally like

decent in OU

or was

[true pumice]

Ya lucha was aight

[wild imp]

he had a niche in some teams

now its just

better version

with most rng move ever

one thing im grateful for

is that decid-h is slow

[true pumice]

Indeed, fuck dire claw, but sneasler itself is fine

Thank fuck decid is slow

[wild imp]

becuase fuck triple arrows

[true pumice]

Indeed

[wild imp]

this comes from within the bh player within me

i still find it funny sometimes

6 covert cloak

was like

a fine strat

at one point

in that meta

[true pumice]

Lmao

[fading stratus]

is h decid popular or just niche as of now

[wild imp]

its too slow to do much

if it was any faster idt be cancer

[fading stratus]

isnt TR a legitemate strat after luna

[wild imp]

it became way less legit

after mage ban

also decid h isnt TR slow

hes in that swreetspot

too fast for tr

too slow for other shit

[fading stratus]

whats even the TR speed threshold for singles

[wild imp]

to me its slower than gho tusk

i forgot which one is slower

which decid is

but he gets outslowed by a bunch of walls

actually i take back this entire convo

i was thinking of base decid speed

decid h is even slower

he probs works

but like

you have luna hands already

[fading stratus]

What hand do in singles? AV or Swords dance?

[wild imp]

all ive seen in TR is drum

[fading stratus]

drum based

[wild imp]

lemme go to setpedia

band and sd

in ou

[fading stratus]

there's a website called setpedia?

[wild imp]

in ubers+ its AV

[fading stratus]

no you lied to me yuni

[wild imp]

i mean

[fading stratus]

its not setpedia

[wild imp]

i justr call it setpedia

bc thats a better name

[sharp kernel]

Oxtails hopefully

[bleak pine]

A lot of savory flavor

Kinda like some kind of... Jerky, I guess?

Likely got a somewhat salty flavor too

Can you guys help me make a decision? 🐊 for Totodile, 🦎 for Treecko, or 🐉 for Charmander.

Or you can just react with 💧 , 🔥, or 🍃.

Pokémon Crown.

Huh?

A ROM hack.

[pseudo goblet]

Ahh, well that’s hard

[slate marlin]

Ehh, I guess I’m going for Charmander then.

[snow oasis]

Does snow have any effects other than boosting the defense of Ice types?

[outer eagle]

as in, aside from the chip?

oh wait, Snow, not Hail

[swift jasper]

All Ice-type Pokémon have their Defense raised by 50% for the duration of the snowstorm. Pokémon with the Ice Body Ability recover 1⁄16 of their maximum HP each round. Pokémon with the Snow Cloak Ability increase their evasiveness by 20%. Pokémon with the Slush Rush Ability have their Speed doubled. If an Icy Rock is held by the Pokémon using Snowscape at the time of use, the duration of Snowscape will increase from 5 to 8 turns. The snowstorm allows Aurora Veil to be used.

While Snowscape is in effect, Synthesis, Morning Sun, and Moonlight will recover only ¼ of the user's maximum HP. Additionally, the move Weather Ball becomes Ice-type.

CLEF IS COMING BACK IN DLC

A: If Clefable has a million fans, then I am one of them. If Clefable has ten fans, then I am one of them. If Clefable has only one fan then that is me. If Clefable has no fans, then that means I am no longer on earth. If the world is against Clefable, then I am against the world.

[outer eagle]

inb4 Clef comes with no Softboiled/Wish

[wild imp]

Clef is cool

[wild imp]

Instead comes back with new signature move

[random stream]

at this point moonlight is the same as softboiled since ttar isnt rly used anymore

and the pp nerfs

[wild imp]

It heals 2/3 hp and gives +1 to both defenses

[outer eagle]

Clef already had a signature move kidge

[random stream]

I think with magic guard clicking your healing move as much isnt that big of a concern due to how unchippable you are

especially now that the meta is super centered on spikes with hsamurott for ho and ting lu for fat

[outer eagle]

the more pressing concern i see is that the powerlevel of gen 9 has increased a lot

[wild imp]

Isn’t reuniclus coming back too

[random stream]

She'll still be OU kid clef always finds a way

[outer eagle]

what was deemed sufficient bulk for previous gens isn't going to do as well into this

[random stream]

Reuni is coming back too yeah

Washtom's kinda mid bulk is somehow still good enough, so clef should be fine

[wild imp]

Isn’t clef bad into lord of the new mons

Bad into gho

Bad into gambit

[outer eagle]

well lord of new mon would be Tusk, but Clef is pretty weak into Ghold and Gambit yes

[wild imp]

Bad into future edition volc

[random stream]

yuni you forget the point of clef

the mons that beat it dont rly want to come in on it

[wild imp]

Might be good into Val?

[random stream]

yes it's nice into valiant

[wild imp]

what stopping gho and gambit

From coming in

ESP defensive gho

[outer eagle]

they can tank a Flamethrower well enough if they want to, and you can't Toxic them, Moonblast will deal minimal damage

[random stream]

usually knock flame or twave (for gambit)

if gambit/ghol is balloon it also really doesnt want to lose it, otherwise they lose an item

same is true for gking

[outer eagle]

ya sure Clef will even have Knock

[wild imp]

252 SpA Gholdengo Make It Rain vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Clefable: 438-516 (111.1 - 130.9%) -- guaranteed OHKO

[random stream]

it wouldnt stay in

[wild imp]

But then gho gets a free turn

Like clef will be ou

[pseudo goblet]

Glorious

[wild imp]

But we got a bunch of shit that fucks it

She’ll probs change up the tusk vs lando dynamics

0 Atk Great Tusk Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 196+ Def Clefable: 127-150 (32.2 - 38%) -- 96.7% chance to 3HKO

Decent on the switch

Into defensive anyways

[pseudo goblet]

Any cool bugs returning in the dlc??

[outer eagle]

well let's first pray that Clef keeps Knock/Toxic/T-Wave first and foremost

[wild imp]

Toxic Is deadge

Knock and twave who knows

Nuking scald/toxic/knock distrib

Is top 10 decisions Ever

[random stream]

if youre max spa gholdengo flame does 40-50 on switch then you swap, if youre offensive recover sure but thats not a big deal, if youre scarf or balloon thats extra bad for you

you can get knocked as well which cripples the defensive variants (the most popular defensive version right now is hex twave focus blast recover, no make it rain even)

this is like saying clodsire is bad because hatterene can come in on it to blank whatever it tries to do

mons have answers

Clef will notably be one of the few mons who isnt impeded by chip damage, it can never be worn down by traditional means. spikes is insanely popular rn with hdb also being on the downtick aside from stall, which still gets knocked spammed

[outer eagle]

hey i'd like to see Lando regain Tox and Defog

[wild imp]

Ren I think you’re misinterpreting what I’m saying

I’m not saying clef is bad

I’m just saying the meta is lot more hostile to it now

[random stream]

It'll be fine

[wild imp]

A good fairy will anyways be welcome into the tier

God knows we need a good defensive one

[outer eagle]

i mean, unless Hatterene is like a top 10 mon in usage

[wild imp]

(Im not calling hat bad)

(I just want more defensive fairies)

Sneas is also a problem for clef

[outer eagle]

if they decided to nuke Tox and Knock for Clef as well to be in-line with the rest, combined with the reduced recovery this discussion would be moot anyways

[wild imp]

True

Idt it’ll keep either

Most especially toxic

[random stream]

it doesnt really use toxic anyway, losing knock is sucky but that just means more cm or wish sets probably come around

[wild imp]

The one move that needs to get its distrib back is spin and defog

[random stream]

or thunder wave

[wild imp]

The rest im fine with being gone forever

[outer eagle]

i've seen Toxic on Clef all the time tbh

unless that has changed in the last gen

[wild imp]

Toxic was on everything

[outer eagle]

T-Wave is fine, but it has an imbalance in impact on Offense vs Defense

[wild imp]

Knock and toxic losing distrib makes the meta a lot better

Same with scald being deadge

[outer eagle]

Wish is also a transfer move right?

now if only we could get more Defoggers

[wild imp]

Defog is the one move I miss

[random stream]

I've honestly never seen toxic on clef and ive been on the clef train for eons now

gen 6 best sets were CM moonblast coverage or thunder wave softboiled or stealth rock moonblast coverage/t-wave softboiled

SM was mostly the same aside from offensive 3 attacks life orb becoming more popular

SS had moonblast softboiled sr knock, the wishport set, and defensive cm with either life orb or lefties

Losing knock would be the bigger thing, so we'll just have to wait and see

yeah it's been tough to remove hazards aside from spinning these days

so pokemon that can outright ignore hazards are kinda nice

[wild imp]

Losing wish would suck

What I’m most excited thing I have for the dlc is new paradox mons

[outer eagle]

as in the legends?

[wild imp]

Not them

Like seeing if we get more paradox mons

[outer eagle]

oh lawd 2 Paradox Charizard forms incoming

[wild imp]

Like the rest of the of the legendary trio from unova and johto

[random stream]

paradox flygon

[wild imp]

Paradox aggron

(It’s my favorite Pokémon)

[outer eagle]

if they couldn't be arsed to make Mega Flygon

there's zero chance they make Paradox Flygon

now that i think about it

how would Paradox forms of something like Chandelure work?

can't have a past form of a fucking chandelier

[wild imp]

Just turn it into a bonfire

[wide lynx]

Didn't get pinged Smh

But at least I made it on the team

Any chance you could dm me what you're playing

[mighty storm]

But the real cool part about the DLC, new|| spidops||

Anyways, WHAT IS IT WITH MY FAV CHARACTERS IN GAMES I PLAY ALWAYS ENDS UP BEING DISRESPECTED

Okay now I’m curious to what’s Unite tier list is like…

https://unite-db.com/tier-list/pokemon

Assuming this is the one, yeesh, Greninja and Absol in D??? If this is real, how the mighty have fallen

Okay it’s hard to believe this list when they put Cramorant in B… wth

[outer eagle]

Finally lost a real team member (Kingdra) instead of just intentional sacks to Colress. Altho, Kingdra was arguably the most replaceable member out of the core 5 anyways. Last time a semi-important mon was lost was at Skyla.

[random stream]

[outer eagle]

Almost got swept by Huge Power Archeops

It even flinched my Muk then Kingdra missed Draco Meteor

Scarf Imposter Clef came in clutch, but then again that's why i had it on the team tbw

[random stream]

Told you clef was good kidge

[outer eagle]

it could have been a Weedle and Imposter would have carried the same

[maiden flax]

If embed failed use fx or vx on the end or start of the twitter part of the link

[maiden flax]

Mean look looks fun

[wild imp]

just learned that some fusions have multiple sprights

alice connecting back to yugioh makes sense in a way

but dw i went with a culured alt art

Between Liko and Serena, think I would choose Liko yeah

Hard to imagine myself being friends with a celebrity

[maiden flax]

I just want the cat

[pseudo goblet]

That too

Aight imma do one for the rivals, which one would y’all be best friend with

Gary
Goh
Roy
Paul

Wait Roy isn’t a rival(yet)

[outer eagle]

apparently Miltank has 100 Speed

why is a cow that fast

[pseudo goblet]

Ask that to Purugly first, but even more questionable

[random stream]

Always was

[maiden flax]

Next youll tell me magmar has 93 speed

[outer eagle]

Oh wow never noticed that the Randomizer also updates the Pokedex with the correct area information as well
This makes finding mons for Tokens so much easier

[random stream]

It's good kidge

[outer eagle]

i have like 10 free tokens waiting to be used so this helps scope out potential team options a lot

[random stream]

tokens

[outer eagle]

you know how in BW2 the Fossil Museum is post-game?

i count every rando Fossil i pick up a Token

[random stream]

[outer eagle]

same applies if i caught a mon first then encountered it again on a static mon

[random stream]

I guess that makes up for the bereft of encounters

[outer eagle]

hey if they had put the Museum in the main campaign this wouldn't be possible unless i pick up like duplicates of fossils

[random stream]

what happens if you keep watching till it reaches the destination tho

for gen 5 if you go to the deck on Royal Unova and watches until the end the game auto informs you upon arrival iirc

[sleek sky]

https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/usage-based-tier-update-for-july-2023.3723830/

[warm sky]

samurott is top 5
DAMN

[maiden flax]

Best spiker the world has ever seen

Garganacl is still being the wall of all time :v

[silver vigil]

UU got a wholeass new tier

[warm sky]

true, spikes on a 65 BP STAB move that is also boosted by sharpness

which makes it really just 130 BP

97 with STAB's really good

[maiden flax]

(Its closer to 140)

[sleek sky]

Is it additive or multiplicative

[maiden flax]

1.5x x 1.5x x 65

[silver vigil]

(Ik half these mons are unplayable in UU)

[warm sky]

oh in that case

it's like

146

so even a neutral hit's kinda nuts

[sleek sky]

2.25 multiplier let's goooo

[warm sky]

hell, a resisted hit is still quite good

because you get spikes

[maiden flax]

And you can just get spikes up!

[warm sky]

also man I have not touched UU in a while, but hey... Breloom dropped there

I might mess with it

[maiden flax]

The current smurott sets are suicide lead focus sash

Offensive scarf

Defensive AV

[sleek sky]

Clodsire still OU

Skelebro dropped tho

All the starters are now UU

[maiden flax]

Skeledirge dropping is wild

[silver vigil]

V. funny that amoongus the only grass in OU

[sleek sky]

Maybe it goes back up after they cycle out the banned mons

It was pretty close

4.109%

Meow at 4.196%

Does Aurora Veil stay active even if the weather changes

[warm sky]

yes

[sleek sky]

I will make a garbage triweather team

(I cannot play Showdown on my VPN)

[random stream]

whats garchomp at rn sorry? cant seem to find it

Alolan muk dropped to UU but it is very very good in OU right now, so it may rise back up

[sleek sky]

4.1 something

[random stream]

Ah okay its still there, barely

[sleek sky]

sorry

Garchomp is at 5.222%

@outer eagle @fading stratus it finally happened lando dethroned

Tusk is just way more generally useful
ik lando still good but yk

[outer eagle]

when you take away every utility move Lando has

ofc Tusk is gonna be more useful

[random stream]

Yeah

[outer eagle]

Rotom hanging on for dear life

[crimson moat]

Congrats Great Tusk, how does it feel to make it?

[wild imp]

UU got lots of nothing mons

But they also got a fuckton of broken shit

(Or stuff that’s just good)

Meow, gapdos, loom, drago, muk, meow, mew, ceruledge, and the victory dance mf

[spice rivet]

Samurott fans keep winning

[fading stratus]

what has the world come to ren

[wild imp]

Garchomps time is coming

[sharp kernel]

What’s annihilape’s usage in singles?

[fading stratus]

bulk up rage fist

just doubles stuff

[sleek sky]

Also it's Ubers in Smogon metagames

[warm sky]

yeah

[random stream]

Got banned to ubers
But its specially defensive bulk up taunt set was extremely good

often paired with double screens and tera water

It could also run final gambit stealth rock lead, or scarf

[wild imp]

Ape was banned bc it meant you couldn’t play any slower teams

[sleek sky]

Okay
It is time to theorycraft a garbage tri-weather team

[fading stratus]

quad weather

🙂

rain snow sun sandstorm

[crimson moat]

Not Bad, Tusk

[fading stratus]

nasty plot kinda huge

[crimson moat]

You a free to, they can't claim repost, I made this

[fading stratus]

spat will ban you for unoriginal ppst

[wild imp]

I’m posting it in the smogon discords rn

[sleek sky]

Honestly I tried
But there's not enough flexibility with two remaining slots

[wild imp]

Tusk gambit

That’s all you need baby

[crimson moat]

My credentials for making it

[fading stratus]

you can probably go like alolan tales with light clay aurora veil
then some rain stuff and iron bundle and sun with uhh idk and ttar great tusk or sth idk

oh wait bundle banned in smogon singles

forgor

after tales comes (probably) in dlc

[sleek sky]

Do you use Ice Body on Bax if there's snow

Or do you still do Thermal

[fading stratus]

probably still thermal tbh

[sleek sky]

Does Bax survive sun-boosted fire moves

Asking for a friend

[fading stratus]

252+ SpA Charcoal Torkoal Overheat vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Baxcalibur in Sun: 355-418 (95.6 - 112.6%) -- 75% chance to OHKO

without charcoal it isnt otk so probably shouldnt get otk'd by most fire moves

[sleek sky]

[fading stratus]

what else even is the popular fire move in singles

[sleek sky]

There was Skeledirge Torch Song

Some Will-o-Wisp users

Volc got banned

[fading stratus]

+1 252 SpA Skeledirge Torch Song vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Baxcalibur: 196-232 (52.8 - 62.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

yeah no

nothing relavent should kill it

unless specific charcoal torkoal

[wild imp]

Isn’t bax immune to fire

[fading stratus]

you're thinking of daschbun

[sleek sky]

Thermal Exchange confers +1 Attack
if Bax is damaged by a fire move
also gives burn immunity

[fading stratus]

yeah

[sleek sky]

Does Hax have a niche over Bax

Other than being slightly faster and slightly stronger attacker

[wild imp]

Mold breaker

[sleek sky]

Whose mold is Hax breaking

[wild imp]

Gho idk

Does he have Eq

[fading stratus]

he does

[wild imp]

Or use ground coverage

You break washtoms mold

[sleek sky]

Hmm

[fading stratus]

ground tera eq bax was really popular in vgc at point

[sleek sky]

I will attempt to build a team using a Clod-Hax core
(It will not work)

[wild imp]

Man

I’m so glads treads exists

Really needed a spinner that’s steel ground

For me team to function

[sleek sky]

Allegedly Treads works very well against teams that are built to deal with Tusks

[wild imp]

Oh no

He’s just just there for typing + speed

I’m doing HO

[fading stratus]

play steel beam treads yuni

[outer eagle]

is Excadrill not fast enough

[wild imp]

I debate it every day

Exca isn’t in sv

And idk if he has spin anyway

[outer eagle]

wait wasn't it leaked a while ago

[sleek sky]

For some reason I thought the Tyrogue line was coming in the DLC

[wild imp]

That’s dlc kid

Exca would go hard on my team tho

[outer eagle]

Drill learns Spin inherently

so it will most likely keep it

[sleek sky]

Is Maus Tidy Up real hazard control

[fading stratus]

ferrothorn will learn rapid spin this gen kid after it comes in dlc

[outer eagle]

well Maus isn't real

so you do the math

[fading stratus]

friend guard neat tho

[wild imp]

You see maus a decent Amt

In high ladder

[fading stratus]

maus monke good

just play a different format

[sleek sky]

almost took some time to deliberate on what moves i should use Heart Scale to relearn until i remembered that i had infinite Heart Scale since i was in Humilau

also wasn't intending to EV train at first but since i can earn 300k every 20 minutes i just full pumped my team with HP Up and HP Meals in Join Avenue

[random stream]

[fading stratus]

you can get infinite HS?

thought it was only once by showing that old lady luvdisc

[outer eagle]

there's an old dude in Humilau who gives you a Funfest Mission which, once completed, gives you 5 Heart Scales

and Funfest Missions are infinite

Funfest Missions are also how i can easily grind 300k every 20 mins

[fading stratus]

dont you need like the wifi stuff for those

[outer eagle]

nah

you only need it in BW1

in BW2 you can do them whenever

also, Funfest Missions let me grind Shards extremely quickly for Tutors, tho i haven't needed to do so this run since the tutor moves are mostly niche or underwhelming

[fading stratus]

i wasn't misremembering
Entralink is a place located in the direct center of Unova. To get there, turn on your C-Gear, select Wireless, and click Entralink.

[outer eagle]

yes

you can still enter the Entralink without WiFi

in BW2 at least

with Wifi you can do Streetpass stuffs

but those aren't needed

"Funfest Missions can be activated anywhere in Unova as long as travel to the Entralink is possible there, and unlike Entralink Missions, they can be played either alone or with up to 99 other players."

Rip

[outer eagle]

i mean Salandit has like 85% chance of being male

so this seems...typical unless this is like the 10th shiny you went over

[pseudo goblet]

I assume you were about to catch the 1 Hp shiny, then a new shiny showed up before you get to catch the first one?

[mighty storm]

not my picture, but the person probably had that happened to them.

and both were male so oof, feels bad

[sharp kernel]

Isn’t Gen banned?

[fading stratus]

I haven't heard anyone get banned by playing genned mons

[outer eagle]

[true pumice]

Fakemon names are always so bad

[sleek sky]

I have come to the unfortunate conclusion that Haxorus is bad

[random stream]

It's pretty much outclassed by Baxcalibur now

Bax is a stronger dragon dancer, choice bander, swords dancer

[sleek sky]

there are no molds to break
very sadge

[random stream]

Also yeah not too many relevant abilities to break. Uhh also if youre using clodsire, would recommend water absorb over unaware for now since its better into the metagame

dont want to like automatically lose to mons like walking wake or get griefed by rotom
