Pokemon

[normal cave]

Support Ho-oh with Sacred Fire 2 support moves

[fading stratus]

there are gazillion good fire mons

y'know the best mon in the game

or like the best mon introduced this gen

[normal cave]

Yeah but

Click sacred fire

Firepon might outdamage that

[fading stratus]

tera fire firepon is probs the second strongest fire move this gen

[pseudo goblet]

Revival Blessing

[fading stratus]

[pseudo goblet]

Chi yu

[fading stratus]

I think it'd be cool if it got blessing

strongest is probably
tera fire oricalcum pulse life orb flare blitz in the sun

[pseudo goblet]

Wait what type is Pulse again

The move

[fading stratus]

what pulse

oricalcum pulse is korai's ability

[pseudo goblet]

Whats korai signature move again

[fading stratus]

collission course

[pseudo goblet]

Thought it was that

[fading stratus]

you dont even run that

well you sometimes do

but close combat is just better

wow @normal cave I was so ahead of my time

[pseudo goblet]

So do we call the first pic ‘Gasoline’

[normal cave]

@icy heath flareon

[icy heath]

[pseudo goblet]

How long these usually last? Sis already frighten by the situation

Like how long it takes to finish

[normal cave]

The baby

There we go

[fading stratus]

should last the day

you can just ask her to drop you

then return yourself

or idk ask her to pick you up again

at the end of the day

[pseudo goblet]

Watch she left and me immediately losing the first match

Bolt is there like, easy to assume what common teams would show up that day

Totally not asking because Perish Trap

[normal cave]

Is perish trap common? It's a really hard strat to pilot

[pseudo goblet]

people here can be total dicks, who knows how many of them wanna do this evil strat

In all seriousness tho, I just in hopes to not go against Perish Trap again lol

[normal cave]

Orrrrrrrr

Learn how to beat it

You have a few weeks before the event, so you can practice against it

[pseudo goblet]

https://tenor.com/view/family-guy-peter-griffin-family-guy-peter-perhaps-peter-perhaps-gif-24813812

Roar on the Gothitelle is certainly a thought

[normal cave]

Roar on your own pokemon also works

Roar on goth is iffy since they might swap it back in

[pseudo goblet]

Wait its actually viable?

[normal cave]

But it can work if you swap them into a mon that is slower than your mons

[normal cave]

Dyl did it in the finals vs Wolfe. It might not have been a great move that time, but it means they have done that before

[pseudo goblet]

Do Talonflame get Whirlwind

[normal cave]

Whirlwind is normal iirc

[pseudo goblet]

Actually Prankster Whirlwind seems way better

[pseudo goblet]

Srsly???

[normal cave]

Also, whirlwind has -6 priority

Prankster makes it -5

There are strats to get prankster roars and such off, but they require your entire team to be built around them and are quite gimmicky

[pseudo goblet]

So back to drawing board

Trap the Gothitelle

[normal cave]

Having mons with U-Turn works

Tera Ghost works

[pseudo goblet]

dumb self for forgetting that quirk

[normal cave]

Killing the Goth works

[pseudo goblet]

Ooooh

[normal cave]

Urshifu Single Strike shuts down Perish Trap on its own

[pseudo goblet]

Goth with Snow Cloak

[normal cave]

Urshifu in general is good vs Perish, but Single Strike especially so

[pseudo goblet]

Cloak is the one with evasion in snow right

[normal cave]

Snow Cloak is an ability

So it means no Shadow Tag

[pseudo goblet]

Except whoever did the Skill swap

[normal cave]

Perish Trap is weak to getting fucking murdered

You can't play too passive or scared against it

[pseudo goblet]

Inexperience is the enemy yeah

[normal cave]

Watch Wolfe's videos on his perish trap teams, and see how he talks about how aggression is the key to stopping perish trap

They need time to get their strat off, and if you are beating them the fuck up they can't. They do have protect on every mon, and fake out on goth, so you need to keep those in mind

But if you can set up a situation where they can't safely set perish, or if you have a pokemon lead against them, they will struggle

Perish wants to be 3v2 against you, they can automatically win if they have that

This team has tools to deal with Perish, right Bolt?

Urshi and Incin seem really good vs Perish

You want incin ursh pon and pagos against them I think, to murderize them to death

[pseudo goblet]

The image of Tora suplex a goth

https://tenor.com/view/incineroar-pokemon-primarina-german-suplex-back-throw-gif-17738293106495552134

[normal cave]

You can fake out it

Or Scream Tail

Knock Off will hit it hard, and parting shot lets you pivot

[pseudo goblet]

… makes me wonder just wtf was I doing back then

[normal cave]

Idk, but I think you should do well into perish with some practice

[fading stratus]

wolfey's team is a bit popular but thats it

no other perish

[pseudo goblet]

I HAD the tools

[normal cave]

You got scared, it's ok, it happens

I've fumbled good matchups many times

[fading stratus]

the team you should know how to play against is arubega in the first place

not perish

[normal cave]

Arubega?

[pseudo goblet]

That sounds like a vegetable lmfao

[normal cave]

The Mirai team?

[fading stratus]

this yeah

[normal cave]

THE Mirai team

Yeah I just lose to Mirai Whims lead

Idfk how to play against that team

[pseudo goblet]

Gen 9 meta 101

[fading stratus]

just remember

pagos can just remove the terrain

but only once

you can just giraf pagos lead

trick room lol

[normal cave]

[fading stratus]

trick room non tera starstorm in mirai slot

[normal cave]

Then they hamds you no?

[fading stratus]

what hands vro

[pseudo goblet]

Ill have to be silent for a while, yall continue without me

[normal cave]

Hamds or ursh gonna hurt

[fading stratus]

if you fear hands you can just psychic noise

or cycle intimidate

that does require a good knowledge of positioning

[normal cave]

[fading stratus]

if you want

you can play wisp in incin

[normal cave]

Can't overtech for one mon

[fading stratus]

well wisp helps against zama

[pseudo goblet]

https://tenor.com/view/gamblecore-stickman-casino-gamble-gif-7118676210396292522

[normal cave]

Whisp kinda good tho yeah

[fading stratus]

both zama and non tera fire caly ice really fear wisp

there was a funny mon I wanted to put in the team

but I didnt think zane can play it well

[normal cave]

Comfey?

[fading stratus]

||Decorate Smeargle||

[normal cave]

The Low Ladder Hard TR mon

Mon is dogshit with a bad player

[fading stratus]

its sometimes used in pagos too

just to boost up damage

[normal cave]

You run fake out follow me spore decorate ye?

[fading stratus]

but did you know
follow me rage powder redirects decorate too

[fading stratus]

you can run wide guard

[normal cave]

[fading stratus]

instead of spore

but spore probs more valuable

[normal cave]

Dude low ladder just spams spore once TR is up

They don't give a fuck about goggles or grass types they are sporing those too

[fading stratus]

JUST DECORATE

IN HARD TR SMEARGLE IS ALWAYS 1 POINT SLOWER THAN CALY

[normal cave]

They read one guide on how to play one team into any matchup and refuse to deviate

And the guide did not say spam decorate, it said spam spore

[fading stratus]

The guide probably didnt say switch out when taunted either

[normal cave]

It did not mention taunt

So they scoop to taunt

[fading stratus]

it also probably didnt mention you can just follow me glacial lance turn 1 too

if you face stuff like ursaluna teams

or even mirai teams

[normal cave]

Of course not, you have to click trick room turn 1

Either fake out or follow me, plus tera fire, plus trick room

Works every time

[fading stratus]

oh yeah bruial you know what mon gets better next format?

[normal cave]

Oh?

[fading stratus]

ditto
What's better than 2 restricted? 3 restricted

[normal cave]

[fading stratus]

its because you can almost always gurantee you copy a restricted now

[normal cave]

That's dirty

[fading stratus]

ditto is a really good mon

but very skill based

thats why the highest ranking ditto player this format was probs joemama

[normal cave]

The president?

[fading stratus]

its JoeUX9

Joseph Ugarte

one of the best NA players

[normal cave]

Ah

[fading stratus]

I kinda wanna make korai dozo team for zane

that seems not hard to use

[normal cave]

Sun + Wave Crash

Dozogiri is easy to use tho yeah

Also kind of a team check

[normal cave]

Weezing dirty

[fading stratus]

you get a cookie if you guess the item on korai

[normal cave]

LO?

[fading stratus]

nope

[normal cave]

Band?

[fading stratus]

nope

final guess

[normal cave]

Ability shield?

[fading stratus]

yep

[normal cave]

Ayy

[fading stratus]

🍪

you get another cookie if you guess the 3 moves in dozo

final is protect obv

[normal cave]

Hmm, eq, order up, and... heavy slam?

[fading stratus]

one more try

one of them is incorrect

[normal cave]

Eq, order up, and wave crash?

[fading stratus]

one of them is incorrect
final try

[normal cave]

Eq, Order Up, yawn?

[fading stratus]

EQ Order Up AND

||Body Press||

[normal cave]

Ooooh dozo gets that?

[fading stratus]

did you not see the tatsu forme

its specifically used in the pink tatsu forme yeah

[normal cave]

Ohhh

[fading stratus]

because it boosts defense

so you arent affected by intimidate

parting shot cycle

[normal cave]

Very nice

[fading stratus]

alternative is just korai balance

this looks really good doesnt it

[normal cave]

It does

Lando is p nasty

[fading stratus]

its a very good mon yeah

but sometimes you have to bet on 80% accuracy

the idea is

wolfey said korai incin amoongus flutter has good matchup against almost every restricted in the format

and lando bolt is for matchup spread

also lando beats iron hands

your biggest fear

[normal cave]

Nah hands is not my biggest fear

Ursh is

[fading stratus]

my cousin beats ursh

[normal cave]

Hands is a fear only when I play pagos

[fading stratus]

especially since most common item is mystic water and most common tera is tera water

also amoongus beats too

since you know

rocky hemlet

rage powder

[normal cave]

Yeah amogus beats URS

[fading stratus]

you might play specs timid flutter

and maybe pao instead of lando

have to theory craft the team but not rn

could even be chi yu instead of incin

and oger instead of amogus

[normal cave]

3rd wonder pick, 3rd whiff. I got 2 rattatas and a machop. I hate wonder pick. I just wanted the nurse joy

Not gonna waste my hourglasses now

There's an event coming up so I am saving up for that

[pseudo goblet]

Stress over, time to read an essay

[pseudo goblet]

Guilty lol

[pseudo goblet]

Ouch Bruial

[pseudo goblet]

https://tenor.com/view/weezing-gif-26949547

[pseudo goblet]

Lando is support ight

[fading stratus]

no

lol

its 3 attack protect

[fading stratus]

https://pokepast.es/0225a877a83f696c

this was the initial idea zane

4 mons have protect here

[outer eagle]

New Island new Drip (i literally went broke buying these )

[fading stratus]

@pseudo goblet do you have a bloodmoon

asking for a friend

[pseudo goblet]

No bling, yeah

Also sis refused the request, I’d have to try go out by myself so far away

With no experience prior

[fading stratus]

bro I've been doing from my village to city ever since I was like 16-17 or sth

you'll be fine

(its 11 hour bus ride plus like 1-2 hour walk on hills)

[fading stratus]

[pseudo goblet]

You should know that I recently notices Im similar to Leon lol

No sense of direction

[fading stratus]

I'm very bad with directions too

that's not an excuse

just use google maps

or ask the locals

I always ask the locals if I'm unsure

there's like zero harm in asking

[pseudo goblet]

Locals, so people busy with shopping

[fading stratus]

I mean they wont mind

for sure

I dont think I've ever met anyone who hasnt been nice and given me direction when I asked

and I've been to both india and here

you're just too shy

technically been to bangladesh too but I didnt have to ask anyone a direction because I was there for a event and they already guided us

:p

[pseudo goblet]

I wanna say visit Malaysia but nothing fun here lol

[fading stratus]

its also too far

[pseudo goblet]

Aww

Maybe theres Toys R Us around the tournament area

[fading stratus]

could be

[sterile verge]

[fading stratus]

@pseudo goblet did you atleast register

oh nvm you need a team to register

[pseudo goblet]

still breathing room left right lol

also mb I was watching Nintendo Direct

[sleek sky]

I'm vaguely interested in getting it
But I don't think there's anything that pushes me to get it on launch

[fading stratus]

yyeah upto 13th

[fading stratus]

silksong and bloodborne 2

[maiden flax]

man team grunt is very sacky

[viral ingot]

As if I haven't gotten enough tilt from Misty lol.

[golden lance]

Chat

Give me a guy to shiny hunt in SV

[polar osprey]

so the leaks about new switch 2 games coming out at $80 were right

Ig I'm not playing pokemon games on launch anymore

[fading stratus]

roaring moon

[golden lance]

I play violet

[fading stratus]

iron valiant

[golden lance]

Bet

I figured out a way to transfer mons from the spicy switch to zaza

[fading stratus]

huh

how?

is it just put mons in sd card or sth

[golden lance]

My cousin has a legit copy of gen 9

We can trade and access home that way

[fading stratus]

then lemme think actually

you'd wanna play champions right

when it comes

[golden lance]

Yea

[fading stratus]

then hunt shiny amogus

0atk iv if possible

[golden lance]

Are all legendaries shiny locked in SV?

[fading stratus]

ask zane

[golden lance]

Also considering just buying a legit copy of gen 9 when i get my switch 2

[fading stratus]

best future paradox is brian hands

if you wanna shiny hunt it

[golden lance]

Isnt hands deadge now?

[fading stratus]

its very popular in mirai teams

its the preferred fake out user in specifically mirai teams

I like incin tho because its utility

but hands is very good as well

[golden lance]

Neat

Man i'm still so pissed

[fading stratus]

what happened

[golden lance]

That in 2025 all first party games cost 10$ in latam than in na/eu

Sv is 70$ here now

[fading stratus]

how much is it in US

[golden lance]

70$

I already did price conversion

[fading stratus]

ah

[golden lance]

In brl its 350

Wait

I redid conversions

Our economy is just that bad now huh

[fading stratus]

wait til you hear about our economy

1 USD is around ||140||NPR

[golden lance]

I think you're just fucked if you dont live in europe nowdays imma be honest

Btw bolt help me decide smth

[fading stratus]

sure

[golden lance]

Do i get the switch 2 at launch, on sale, or with the zaza bundle?

[fading stratus]

how much cheaper is it with za bundle

than getting both seperately

[golden lance]

We dont know because it doesnt exist

I just assume they'll make one

Altho the mk9 bundle is 500$

[fading stratus]

Idt you need to buy it on launch tho
is there any game you really wanna play on release

[golden lance]

Well, having the console itself is nice

I could play totk on it

[polar osprey]

they are charging for the totk switch 2 upgrade btw

[golden lance]

I am aware

[polar osprey]

bottomless greed

[fading stratus]

oh its needle

I thought it was summer by that name

[golden lance]

Hmm lemme see

My violet save file was stuck on the fairy star base because all my steel and poison types passed the level cap

And revravroom is broken

[fading stratus]

oh are you playing nuzlocke

[golden lance]

Nah

Just trying to complete the dex while doing the story

Do have an ogerpon now

[fading stratus]

huh

how tf did you complete first dlc

[golden lance]

By playing it? Idk what you mean

[fading stratus]

I meant the lv is high

when you even havent completed the main story

[golden lance]

Dlc 1 has 2 level sets

One before you beat the league, and one after

[fading stratus]

oh does it

[golden lance]

Yea

[fading stratus]

never knew about the before league part

ogerpon is such a goated mon

[golden lance]

The gauntlet was so hard imma be honest

My mons just folded to ivy crits

[fading stratus]

lmao

and all boosted by tera btw

[golden lance]

And i had no checks for cornerstone of all things

[fading stratus]

cornerstone is kinda hard because she gets a def boost

so you cant one shot with fighting type moves

[golden lance]

I had that kalos ash team

Of 3 flying types

[fading stratus]

dlc reminds me

I made zane a doubles team for dlc 2 too

[golden lance]

Wait

... Ogerpon doesnt want 0 speed ivs, right?

None of the forms do, right?

[fading stratus]

no

[magic thunder]

ZA funniest game oat

[golden lance]

Ok good

[fading stratus]

bloodmoon might

[magic thunder]

No way they made ||Mabel the professor||

[fading stratus]

but bloodmoon is generally run a bit fast

[golden lance]

Bloodmoon cant breed?

[fading stratus]

no

[golden lance]

Tf

[fading stratus]

its a non legendary legendary

people were like tf when all legendaries were banned but bloodmoon wasnt banned

[golden lance]

Good thing i havent done the quest line yet then

[fading stratus]

do try to get 0 Speed yeah

and 0 atk

0 atk is more important over 0 speed

just a reminder

[magic thunder]

I meam tbf Blood Moon is canonically a 1-off dude no?

So it makes sense you can't get multiples

[golden lance]

Actually wait

I realized that i need to buy pla if i want anything from that

Since i need the home checkmark

[polar osprey]

just get a friend to give you mons

[fading stratus]

canonically it swam the seas and reached kitakami and evolved into bloodmoon beast

[golden lance]

The gen 4 cress incident

Also i do like making teams in game

The process is fun

Well, used to be at least

Nowadays you dont really need rng manips and breeding

[fading stratus]

I was looking at future paradoxes

and why are they so shit

it feels like they made em shit because miraidon is so broken

and past are broken because koraidon is so mid

[polar osprey]

the iron hands in question

[fading stratus]

its literally just hands

[golden lance]

I remember building a HO usum team on cart to pass time

Was fun

[polar osprey]

it is

[fading stratus]

and ig iron crown

[polar osprey]

what 140 base fake out does to a mf

[golden lance]

Tbf

Future mons are kinda nice in singles

[fading stratus]

its also unkillable

with AV

[polar osprey]

yeah drain punch brrrrr

[golden lance]

Bundle got banned, val is good

[fading stratus]

best paradox in doubles is my cousin

second is probs moon then hands

oh wait second is flutter

thats like 3/4 past mons

[golden lance]

Man imagine if thorns wasnt like

The worst type ever created

[polar osprey]

I think hands is better than flutter now

no?

[fading stratus]

hands is only ever used alongside miraidon

[polar osprey]

yeah I'm pretty sure they have the exact same rep

[fading stratus]

else incin and rilla both are better fake out users

[polar osprey]

still

he good

[fading stratus]

this was last tour
ig moon dropped

[golden lance]

Wait

[polar osprey]

damn same rep

[golden lance]

Can you get the gen 8 starters in blueberry academy?

[polar osprey]

he got hands

[fading stratus]

I think so yeah

[golden lance]

I dont want to buy swsh dog

[fading stratus]

best restricted is mirai anyway

you can probs just play mirai pagos

[golden lance]

Also damn dark shifu dropped off a fucking cliff

[fading stratus]

its just that water is just better

firepon drop off is funnier

[polar osprey]

dark is most only in trick room teams now I think

not really following current anymore

[fading stratus]

yeah

or sun

caly hard tr likes dark

because it plays torkoal

same with korai

[golden lance]

Oh yea

I need to see what team i want to use this reg, if i want to play

[fading stratus]

if you play on showdown

go for caly ice mirai

[golden lance]

Why?

[fading stratus]

that's what I think is the best duo

they complement each other really well

[golden lance]

Boltbeam is eternal ig

[fading stratus]

physical special attacker
boltbeam
caly can setup trick room against faster teams
both are top 2 restricted rn

[golden lance]

Also wait current reg is 2 restricteds?

Thought it was 1

[fading stratus]

starting may

[golden lance]

Ah

[fading stratus]

thats why I'm building 1 restricted team for zane

if he decides to go

[golden lance]

Altho, i'm also thinking of picking up singles again

Now that roaring hitler is dead

[fading stratus]

gambit still lives

[golden lance]

Manageable

Zama victim

[fading stratus]

hamurott also exists

and ting lu

and darkrai

[golden lance]

The dark type isnt an issue vro

[fading stratus]

wtf does ting lu even do in singles

[golden lance]

Hazards

[fading stratus]

rocks?

[golden lance]

Bulky pivot

[fading stratus]

ah

[golden lance]

Ruination does stuff sometimes

[fading stratus]

wanna guess what it does in doubles

[golden lance]

Clicks fissure

[fading stratus]

no

sand tomb spam

[golden lance]

Tr mon?

Holy shit this game is ass

Fym sand tomb?

[fading stratus]

the sand tomb yes

you sand tomb

then yawn with dozo

then stall

[golden lance]

Alolomola isnt so bad actually

[fading stratus]

in singles?

[golden lance]

Yea

[fading stratus]

isnt it ou

[golden lance]

You know what it does yea?

It is

[fading stratus]

whirlpool flip turn

[golden lance]

Nah

[fading stratus]

and wish sometimes sometimes av

regen

[golden lance]

Yea

[fading stratus]

ig you can run either scald flip turn wish protect or scald flip turn 2 attack av

I think the most interesting part of singles is like half the mons play as mixed attackers

you could never do that in doubles

[golden lance]

Mixed val is soooooo nice

[golden lance]

Wait i actually need to play SV UU

Tinkaton and weavile rose up

Lokix solos 125% of the format now

[normal cave]

Did lokix not solo weavile?

[golden lance]

The thing about weavile is that it was competition for the same role

It alongside gren

Made people extremely incentivised to run dark resists

[normal cave]

Ah

[pseudo goblet]

How easy you want it to be

[golden lance]

Does not matter

[pseudo goblet]

Yes

[pseudo goblet]

[pseudo goblet]

Ig you could try Grookey

You do have dlc right

[golden lance]

Yes

What's the strat for gen 9 again? Sandwich + walking in circles?

[pseudo goblet]

Depends on the situation

If you are going for Grookey, best you stay in one place, easier for the eyes and your eyesight

Oh this Zane didnt know the kind of luck he got with these yet

Your odds get better if you have Outbreak, but assuming you dont wanna bother resetting the outbreaks for the monke, try the spot in the video

Walking around an area is like if the mon you re looking for is all over the place and assuming you re not anxious whether a shiny spawned behind you and you despawned it not knowing lol

Picnic reset is my prefer method but each reset takes like 10 seconds wasting a bit of your sandwich

[golden lance]

I kinda wanted a shiny that stood out more but was comp viable

Slightly-yellower-rilla is kinda meh

[pseudo goblet]

Ye Rillaboom is kinda just latter

What outbreaks you have rn anyway

[golden lance]

Idk havent opened the game since november

[pseudo goblet]

Flashy shiny I wanna say Dondozo but god save yourself from the hell that is lake of lags

[golden lance]

I wish i could shiny hunt miraidon

[pseudo goblet]

Me too man

What about Porygon

[golden lance]

Eh

Maybe

[pseudo goblet]

What colors you like?

[golden lance]

Blue

Black

Sometimes purple

[normal cave]

Blue pory2

[pseudo goblet]

Dang Palafin isnt good in this format is it

Kingambit mayheps

[golden lance]

Restricted mon format tends to do that

[pseudo goblet]

Delphox had some good scores right

Or is that previous format

[golden lance]

Oh yea

Zaza is coming

But also, every mon that is getting a mega in zaza is also obviously in zaza

So

A bit of a timewaster

[pseudo goblet]

We still yet to get the shiny method for ZA lol

You might like Corviknight

[golden lance]

Its probably outbreaks again

Ooh corv could be nice

One sec lemme look at the vgc charts

Are the old legends also shiny locked?

Like, tornadus

[pseudo goblet]

Also lmao flying machines has some variety now but we got Iron Jugulis

[pseudo goblet]

You mean PLA? Iirc yeah

[golden lance]

Wait can you catch all the legends in sv?

Like, all the vgc legal ones

[pseudo goblet]

SV, no they dont have all, they kicked Gen 6 legendary, guess why lol

https://www.polygon.com/pokemon-scarlet-violet-guide/24008330/snackworth-legendary-pokemon-locations-where-to-find

Come get your Kubfu

[golden lance]

Oh the weather trio is pla only

Shiiiiiit

Aight time to break out the spicy 3ds

[pseudo goblet]

usum?

ORAS?

[golden lance]

Yea

Usum is way more consistent

Because i can rng manip

[pseudo goblet]

Just look at the tail

Lunala in DA btw lol

[golden lance]

Zane

[pseudo goblet]

Before Bolt says anything, I did failed a run during last night Nintendo Direct lmao

[golden lance]

Is raging bolt shiny locked?

[pseudo goblet]

Yes

[golden lance]

FUCK

[pseudo goblet]

The one mon that Bolt wanted me to get lol

[golden lance]

I understand his struggle now

This shit has 31% usage

Uuuuuuuugh

I'm gonna shiny hunt amogus i guess

Or whimsicott

[pseudo goblet]

Is it version exclusive with Lilligant

[golden lance]

I dont know dawg

Ok its not

[normal cave]

Finally

[pseudo goblet]

Hunting Bellibolt is kinda High effort mid reward isnt it

From the view of shiny hunt, maybe dont hunt with Tadbulb lol

Hawlucha had a bit score recently right???

https://tenor.com/view/hawlucha-shiny-pokemon-shiny-pokemon-gif-25733604

Palossand good shiny but no comp scene…

Gastrodon honestly kinda meh shiny

[normal cave]

Bellibolt is pretty shit

[normal cave]

Hawlucha has performed well in the past IIRC

[golden lance]

Bro itsg half of the gen 9 dex is shiny locked wtf

[normal cave]

You can run it with, like, Electric Seed and Undburden alongside Miraidon to murder shit

[pseudo goblet]

Polteageist maybe???

[pseudo goblet]

https://tenor.com/view/goblin-slayer-stressed-priestess-anime-you-get-used-to-it-gif-13752108

Basculegion maybe???

[normal cave]

Hawlucha gets coaching, encore, quick guard, and taunt on the support side

And for offense it gets HJK, CC, Acrobatics, and Brave Bird. So you get to pick a nuke button to run on it while still having some nice support tools

But I'm p sure there are better options

[pseudo goblet]

Best answer, Incineroar lmao

[normal cave]

Can't go wrong with Incin

Even if its shiny kinda ugly

[pseudo goblet]

Pretty easy hunt too

You see a white furball in a grey mountain top in a bunch of black furball

[pseudo goblet]

https://tenor.com/view/goblin-slayer-stressed-priestess-anime-you-get-used-to-it-gif-13752108

It looks nice if you set your standards lower lol

[normal cave]

No

It looks worse than standard incin

Standard incin looks really cool

[pseudo goblet]

They couldve invert the colors lmao

Pretty sure Smash Bros did that

The third one

[normal cave]

That one looks so good

[pseudo goblet]

@fading stratus would you mind set example teams to the three choices you ask me to pick??

[fading stratus]

yes here's korai

[pseudo goblet]

I like how you felt Im feeing towards Koraidon lmao

[fading stratus]

I kinda realised that korai flutter is insanely good

[pseudo goblet]

Ofc Landorus is the one here that can be shiny but I dont have it yet lol

[fading stratus]

these 7 teams are probably the ones I'd finalise

just gotta choose which core works the best

[pseudo goblet]

Guess Im going jurassic

Still gotta figure out how I get there exactly lol

[fading stratus]

what do you think @spice rivet I kinda thought too much

I see merit in almost every core

[spice rivet]

Honestly, its so hard to choose

I lean towards anything with Bolt in it too, the AV sets with Thunderclap have been saving my ass for a while

[fading stratus]

yeah bolt is a really strong mon

but so is ghold

tera steel make it rain on specs does like insane damage

[spice rivet]

Also, not to throw more ingredients in, but Banded Entei with Sun goes hard

[fading stratus]

I dont really like inaccurate moves
I'm even iffy about having wisp in incin

[spice rivet]

Honestly valid

[fading stratus]

entei plays like atleast 2 inaccurate moves

thats why I didnt want power whip yesterday

[spice rivet]

Teams 3 and 4 from your list are the ones I feel are best

As much as I like Bolt, Ghold is nice as a fairy resist

[fading stratus]

from the top or bottom

[pseudo goblet]

Im sure Groudon with EQ works

[spice rivet]

From top

[fading stratus]

no

eq isnt a good move

because rillaboom exists

[pseudo goblet]

Oh right friendly fire exist

[fading stratus]

yeah these 2 are defo pretty solid

[spice rivet]

Also Grass Terrain specifically powers down Earthquake lmao

[fading stratus]

yeah

earthquake bulldoze and magnitude

[pseudo goblet]

Wait why so specific

[fading stratus]

its just how theyre built

[pseudo goblet]

The ground shakers

[fading stratus]

like electric terrain specific prevents sleep

[pseudo goblet]

I though Grass was just heal lmao

[spice rivet]

Earthquake was a somewhat good move even in Gen 5, so it was a "nerf" introduced in Gen 6 with terrains

Also, I see the logic. If the ground has vegetation the roots will hold the ground together better. Thats my logic to it as well

[pseudo goblet]

Ig Grassy Terrain nerfs ground shaker moves because of the roots keeping the ground sit still

[fading stratus]

grass
boosts grass type moves
halves eq bulldoze and magnitude
heals 1/16 every turn

psychic
prevents priority moves
boosts psychic type moves
boosts expanding force by 1.5x

electric
boosts electric moves
prevents sleep

misty
prevents all status conditions
halves dragon type moves
does not boost fairy/water type moves

[pseudo goblet]

Ye

[fading stratus]

here zane

do remember this

[spice rivet]

Wait, I thought Expanding Force just got double targetting, I never realised it also got an extra boost on top of that

Til

[fading stratus]

yeah it gets boost too

[spice rivet]

Cracked

[pseudo goblet]

Question, if Misty was set before hand and Flame orb Guts mon comes in, what happens

[fading stratus]

flame orb doesnt trigger

if its already burned it doesnt cure

same with yawn

if its yawned it doesnt fall asleep if you set misty terrain

[pseudo goblet]

Ig people will let it out turn 1

[fading stratus]

misty terrain doesnt have a good setter rn

so not really used much

its just to override other terrains as a move but manually setting terrains isnt that great

[fading stratus]

oh yeah Zane I'll make you both teams

with similar EVs

you can test if you like raging bolt the best or ghold

[mighty storm]

I'd really like it if pocket would give me my 2nd god pack already

[fading stratus]

oh yeah btw zane a fun thing you can do

if you go

you can name 6 mons as 6 of people here

[sterile verge]

Who will I be

[fading stratus]

Incineroar

[sterile verge]

[young river]

The pull rate on this card has to be bugged

I literally pulled 2 back to back

[fading stratus]

[pseudo goblet]

Well you have to be Raging then

[fading stratus]

yeah I HAVE to

you know why?

because its illegal to name a mon with a name of different mon

[golden lance]

Who am i then?

[fading stratus]

amoongus

[golden lance]

What do you mean by that

[fading stratus]

its also tera dark

to signify your edgy phase

[pseudo goblet]

Summer has to be FlutterMane then

[golden lance]

WHAT EDGY PHASE

[pseudo goblet]

Wouldnt that be Yami lmao

[fading stratus]

put yozzoy as ogerpon

they like ogerpon

[pseudo goblet]

Who doesnt

[fading stratus]

there's only koraidon left

idk put bruial

zane have you captured bolt already

tell me you havent

[sterile verge]

Make me ogrepon because I'm the youngest

[fading stratus]

youre in your edgy teenage phase

thats why incin

[pseudo goblet]

I did

[fading stratus]

what a shame

bolt wants 0 atk IVs so it woulda been cool to 0 IV hunt

its fine

[sterile verge]

No that was like two years ago

...I don't wanna talk about it man I was NOT a good person

[golden lance]

How many counts of murder

[sterile verge]

I cannot confess to crimes in a public discord server

[golden lance]

Fair enough, altho you didnt deny it

[pseudo goblet]

I was afraid you re worry about that ngl lol

[fading stratus]

its fine dwai

[golden lance]

I mean tbh

Who even runs foul play?

[fading stratus]

farigiraf commonly plays foul play as its only move

[golden lance]

Shit

[fading stratus]

it can play a second move too

but what do you think is better

foul playing or using pitiful special move on a AV mon

fourth move is basically hyper voice/psychic/roar/Twin beam/psychic noise/tera blast

[spice rivet]

Rock Ogrepon has gotten way more KOs than I ever expected it too tbh. Love that little fella.

Like, I never actually realized it outspeeds and does 75% to most Lando-I

[fading stratus]

lando I goes to 181 max right

[spice rivet]

I dont remember. I've kinda been going purely off of vibes for speed calcs these days

[fading stratus]

oh its 168

[spice rivet]

Like up until Reg E I used to know all the relevant ones

[fading stratus]

I think we should atleast make zane a speed tier doc

[spice rivet]

100%

[fading stratus]

of all the relavent mons

[spice rivet]

Also weird item/ability/tera interactions

[fading stratus]

yeah

[spice rivet]

And also in the Speed since itll be relevant: What things are outsped in opposing TW by booster Flutter, and what Koraidon can outspeed with opposing TW + Icy Wind Speed drop/increased Speed

[fading stratus]

yeah

I think -1 timid korai outspeeds sash chi yu

or well not max speed

so stuff like that

not sash but covert cloak/safety googles

[spice rivet]

Also, in a bit I gotta show you a hard read I made that paid off stupidly well

[fading stratus]

sure

I'll ping you possibly tomorrow

well the day after tomorrow for you probably

for moves and item theorycrafting

like whether to put cloak tera dark in amoongus

or tera fairy mental herb

sth like that

[golden lance]

Yall arent seeing the tech

Specs amoonguss

[fading stratus]

not specs but the funniest amoongus set I've seen is sash amoongus

with leaf storm

I think it was like max speed max spA

[fading stratus]

it wasnt that much of a risky play tbh

it was like fine

[spice rivet]

I just find it funny how bad they threw.

[fading stratus]

if they parting shoted you might've even lost

[fading stratus]

yeah idk why they took the risk

what hp was flutter at

[spice rivet]

Full pog

[fading stratus]

oh then they just threw

[spice rivet]

I think the only KO they got was my Ogrepon because Mold Breaker goes around Sturdy and with the sun they OHKOd it

[fading stratus]

NO SHOT IT OHKOS

EVEN IN SUN

It should do like 50% no?

even to rockpon

in non sun

so like around 75%

[spice rivet]

I cant remember if it was a crit.

[fading stratus]

oh around 50% was with the tang ogre

[spice rivet]

But ya, they were Korai + Jumpluff, I Kod there Jump after it set TW, and this was the last turn of TW for them.

[fading stratus]

with max bulk

I knew the calc it was just another ogerpon

[spice rivet]

God, I hope Gen 10 we get full battle replays again

Or in Champions

[fading stratus]

I wonder if they'll put open sheets in champions

that'd be cool

[pseudo goblet]

So like speed chart?

[fading stratus]

yeah

basically this

[pseudo goblet]

HOLY

[fading stratus]

we'll make it easier to understand

[pseudo goblet]

I had to pick this as the answer, do I wanna be right or do I want the funny, ofc I want the funny

[fading stratus]

[normal cave]

Stacked morning pack

[pseudo goblet]

Oh f I forgot to do mine

BORING PACKS AGAIN

RESHIRAM!

Fluffy...

[warm sky]

Ngl Bianca pulls off the Hilda fit

[ashen barn]

Even in EU things aren't exactly nice

[swift jasper]

oh eu is absolutely fucked too

the whole word is when you have an orange monkey at the wheel

[fading stratus]

[normal cave]

Oi, this is unacceptable

Orange monkeys are adorable

[fading stratus]

not that one

[normal cave]

He is the annoying orange

[normal cave]

https://tenor.com/view/ugly-tf2-team-fortress2-memes-engineer-gif-27018177

Okay true not all orange monkeys are adorable

[normal cave]

Bro wtf the sneak peek event in pocket is not guaranteed

Scam event for wonder scam. Of course.

[slate marlin]

So Flareon is Booster in Japan.

And Leafeon is Leafia.

Apparently.

[ashen barn]

new item is broken

[sterile verge]

[ashen barn]

Although a couple of teammates and opponents were bots

[ashen barn]

Sword dance bullet punch, a tale as old as time

[sterile verge]

[ashen barn]

I spent half of the time having to get the Gengar off me

Luckily he had sludge hex...full heal stops the poison, hex no longer has a 0.2 seconds cooldown, gengar is left looking like an idiot for 6 seconds

For anyone wondering -
Set is 6 brown badges for attack, 5 black badges for cooldown reduction
Battle item full heal to avoid CC chains into an early grave
Items: energy amplifier (you need cdr), attack weight, and the new item

Have fun spamming punches and sword dances

Ideally for the set you run 7 black badges and 6 brown buuuuut...

[normal cave]

Yeah badges are a pain to farm

[pseudo goblet]

@fading stratus good news, I could go

Arceus save me

[normal cave]

You will save yourself

[pseudo goblet]

Partially lol

[normal cave]

Training arc time

[pseudo goblet]

Proposed I go alone to parents, ‘one of them’ wont budge unless they go too

[normal cave]

https://tenor.com/view/philadelphia-rocky-balboa-sylvester-stallone-jogging-gif-15021097

[pseudo goblet]

Noticed the fact its not them not allowing me to go, they only ask to be around there, feeling easier knowing Im safe

Took that 2 way deal on the spot

[pseudo goblet]

Funnier if said training was to shiny hunt the team but I think it’s pretty much done already

Blame Koraidon and Raging Bolt okay, actually no, Blame GF

[fading stratus]

I'll start making you a team tomorrow

[pseudo goblet]

https://tenor.com/view/dr-facilier-death-dragging-gif-19270749

[fading stratus]

only thing you need to hope now is hope you get the lottery if there are too many people

prayge

else we'll make you ready for the tour

[pseudo goblet]

Lmfao, after all the hyping myself to do it

[fading stratus]

it was written in the website I linked

you just didnt read

but asian tours do be like that

due to venue capacity

[pseudo goblet]

Not all of it lol

[fading stratus]

I think this tour will be bigger than last one

because its swiss this time

last time there was all single elim

[pseudo goblet]

Also me not wanna believe it actually got that many people

[pseudo goblet]

Welp

[fading stratus]

last time 64 people qualified and only 41 attended

so you'll likely get in

dw

[pseudo goblet]

Wait 64 registered but 23 didnt check in???

Am I mistaken

[fading stratus]

no last one had a online tour for qualification

so you had to qualify

[pseudo goblet]

This one just the lottery then

[fading stratus]

lottery but they had a qualification tour

[pseudo goblet]

RNGesus has that habit of hating me tho

[fading stratus]

where top 4 got guranteed registration

[pseudo goblet]

Whens that

[pseudo goblet]

Ohhhhhh that thing Wolfey did to get in back then

[fading stratus]

like november

the one which I wanted you to attend last time

41 players attended that tour too

idt there are more than 41 players in malaysia

who go to events

[pseudo goblet]

So little people attended

[vocal torrent]

At this point they should allow other ASEAN to participate

[fading stratus]

philliphines singapore thailand and other countries have their own tour too

[pseudo goblet]

Japan has a weird affinity for Malaysia

I do not understand why

[fading stratus]

I want you to top 12 zane if possible
dont sweat it but if you top 12 I'd be more happy than you

you know why?

because top 12 get worlds invitations

[pseudo goblet]

It’s basically you who won

[pseudo goblet]

So its really that, not just to watch it live

[fading stratus]

they probs will live stream day 1

but I dont want you to appear in stream because it's your first tour and being in stream is probably way too much pressure for you

[pseudo goblet]

Idk what Ill do for Worlds, I have responsibilities lol

even if I dont want em

[fading stratus]

it'd be cool if you appeared but like I want you to be calm

not stressed

[pseudo goblet]

Bold of you assume I didnt stressed enough before even going in

[fading stratus]

just hope you dont get paired with like Gary Ng, Kevin Ngim

[pseudo goblet]

Wait why they likely stream Day 1? Not day 2??

[fading stratus]

no I meant like they'll probably start streaming from day 1

[pseudo goblet]

Ahh

Mb

[fading stratus]

no i phrased it badly

[pseudo goblet]

Guess yall gonna see me doxed

Sorry to disappoint

Right, less what ifs, more team prep

[pseudo goblet]

Which of these gonna want 0 ivs??

Amoonguss definitely but anybody else?

[fading stratus]

amoongus flutter bolt/ghold

what do you want

bolt or ghold

we can go with either

both teams are very solid

idk how they saw this stat and thought "oh yeah that seems fine"

[pseudo goblet]

Mmm

Right I kinda caught Raging Bolt already lol

Fuck

[fading stratus]

its fine

bolt is probs better of the 2

[pseudo goblet]

[fading stratus]

ghold is also super min maxxed

[pseudo goblet]

Huh, Goldengo slower than I expect

https://tenor.com/view/gholdengo-gif-27356722

[fading stratus]

so this is the one huh

[pseudo goblet]

Kinda fairy weak

[fading stratus]

2 are weak to fairy

1 resists fairy

its fine

[pseudo goblet]

Not 3? Lol

[fading stratus]

whats the third

[pseudo goblet]

Inci and the dragons

[fading stratus]

fire resists fairy

so its neutral

[pseudo goblet]

Oh right

[fading stratus]

there arent really that amazing fairy types in the format anyway

best one is flutter

and even that isnt as common

[ashen barn]

I still need ho oh and aerodactyl

[pseudo goblet]

Flutter prefers Dazzling right

[fading stratus]

your team wont have dazzling

[ashen barn]

Wish I could trade stuff for an equivalent medal

[fading stratus]

only thing I'm torn about flutter here is whether to play a offensive tera or defensive tera

if we play tera fairy as offensive theoritically it could have gleam

but I'm unsure about that rn

[pseudo goblet]

No I mean Enemy Flutter

[fading stratus]

they could but you'll get to see their team before battle

[pseudo goblet]

Right

[fading stratus]

be sure to read all their moves properly

and tera

this was last tour and offensive fairy type is lacking

[pseudo goblet]

Im gonna visit the Wiki a lot for the next 2 weeks lmao

[fading stratus]

I'll request yozz to train you a bit against a multiple teams

if possible

since I dont have a switch

[pseudo goblet]

Actually yeah, Im surprised we dont get Shifu

[pseudo goblet]

Oh god

[fading stratus]

I thought about it

and korai is fighting

incin is dark
