Pokemon

[fading stratus]

And it's a starter

So yeah good starter megas can happen

[pseudo goblet]

Sceptile stealing Lawnmower Rotom shtick

I think I remember it having some use

Somehow

[fading stratus]

Grass rotom.nearly won worlds

[pseudo goblet]

Then theres the boar

Ranked really made me love it

Pretend the times sniped by giant whales wasn’t in this timeline

Okay I really should leave you alone, you re probably busy

[fading stratus]

Nah dw

Japan makes some wild teams

[pseudo goblet]

Leavanny???

[fading stratus]

it gets chlorophyll

[pseudo goblet]

So does Venusaur no??

Or wrong ability

[fading stratus]

yeah venusaur gets chlorophyll

jumpluff is probs the best chlorophyll mon

venusaur is good because it has a mega

hilligant is good

exeggutor is like funny

because it gets expanding force

[pseudo goblet]

Guess they were looking for something with chlorophyll plus answer to psychics

[warm sky]

https://klipy.com/gifs/gengar-pokken

[fading stratus]

Mega gengar balance is probs pretty good

[pseudo goblet]

Bolt what was your fav mega??

[fading stratus]

I think I played mega mence the most

Tailwind double edge hyper voice protect

[magic thunder]

oh yeah

did we ever talk about how

as of rn

Dragon Claw being boosted by sharpness

has 0 usage

because no one with sharpness learns it

[normal cave]

[outer eagle]

Clearly this means Mega Gallade will have Sharpness now

[pseudo goblet]

Easy then, Mega Haxorus with Sharpness

[normal cave]

Bls give my boy haxorus some love

[pseudo goblet]

Okay hax does learn dragon claw lmao

[golden lance]

Sure, mega haxorus that keeps mold breaker

[outer eagle]

Which Dragon doesn't learn DClaw?

[golden lance]

Kingdra?

[outer eagle]

It does

[golden lance]

Does it?

Huh

[pseudo goblet]

https://tenor.com/view/dragon-head-ache-head-smash-pokemon-haxorus-dragonite-gif-26853856

[outer eagle]

I remember early gens Kingdra knowing DClaw

[pseudo goblet]

The bois fighting for Bruial’s attention

[magic thunder]

Simplest option is like

Salamance, no?

cuz he has a free ability slot

no second normal ability

[outer eagle]

Apparently Kingdra doesn't learn DClaw

The more you know i guess

[swift jasper]

It doesn't have claws

[warm sky]

tbh either give haxorus another ability or replace unnerve

[outer eagle]

Wooper doesn't have hands but here we are

[warm sky]

either way, sharpness would be nice for it

[pseudo goblet]

Neither does Wooper have hands to punch

[pseudo goblet]

Up top

[warm sky]

or replace rivalry

[pseudo goblet]

Haxorus kinda has fair amount of tail moves too

Aqua Iron and Dragon

[warm sky]

Haxorus gets Aerial Ace, Night Slash, X-Scissor and obv Shadow Claw & Dragon Claw

[swift jasper]

Wooper is god

[warm sky]

So you'd have pretty good coverage too

tbh I'm expecting them to be dumb and give chomp z sharpness

[pseudo goblet]

So we all thinking Haxorus would be amazing wtuh Tough claw right

[warm sky]

to lean into it being a mixed attacker

[warm sky]

almost every physical mon

would be

yes

[pseudo goblet]

Ye

Sharpness most sense but limiting

[outer eagle]

Does Dual Chop get Sharpness boosted?

[warm sky]

no

[normal cave]

I am pet dem both

Love the dragons

[pseudo goblet]

https://tenor.com/view/pokemon-dragon-gif-23984347

[fading stratus]

I want sheer force eternatus

[golden lance]

Yknow i think it's quite unfortunate the funniest rain tech ever never catched on in vgc

Scope lens kingdra + dragon cheer support

[outer eagle]

And here i thought it'd be Parasect

[golden lance]

I said "tech" not "self sabotage attempt"

[outer eagle]

What if they buff OHKO moves to always one shot through Sash/Sturdy/Endure/Protect (if it lands)

[golden lance]

65% articuno usage

[pseudo goblet]

Wait so have you two got kyogre or Pelipper yet??

[golden lance]

I did

[fading stratus]

Parasect was usable once

Because it had dry skin

So it was a counter to primal Ogre

Parasect also top 8'd worlds

Back in DPP

[pseudo goblet]

Sooooo all kanto bugs had use??

[golden lance]

Did venomoth ever get any?

[pseudo goblet]

^

[fading stratus]

Venonat is a okay mon

So it counts

[maiden flax]

Fun fact: this was also true in ubers

Parasect really just going around being the best primal kyogre counter lmao

[pseudo goblet]

after champion tho

[maiden flax]

move 1: Spore
move 2: Stun Spore
move 3: X-Scissor / Seed Bomb
move 4: Aromatherapy / Light Screen / X-Scissor
item: Leftovers
ability: Dry Skin
nature: Adamant
evs: 248 HP / 8 Atk / 96 Def / 156 SpD

Was a set used by parasect in singles

[fading stratus]

Lmao

Parasect
Possible Items: Life Orb, Yache Berry, Focus Sash
Trait: Dry Skin
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 HP / 6 SDef
Brave Nature
IVs: 0 Spd
– Spore
– Seed Bomb
– X-Scissor
– Protect

This was the worlds 2010 set

[fading stratus]

bruial would like this team

pelliper is probs more optimal

but like

[swift jasper]

Where's perish song on toed

[fading stratus]

I did think that

but idk if ice beam or that would be better

[swift jasper]

The answer is always perish song

[fading stratus]

fine

[swift jasper]

Good

[pseudo goblet]

Something wrong with the items btw

[swift jasper]

Oh yeah they have 2 assault vests

[fading stratus]

ohh

oops

here

hmm waiy

team version 15

[normal cave]

Boolet seed?

[fading stratus]

yeah

[normal cave]

I love this team

[fading stratus]

yeah I knew you;d love it

bullet seed procs stamina

of archaludon

[normal cave]

https://tenor.com/view/flapjack-captain-knuckles-impressed-face-gif-22382537

Bullet seed body press one shot

[sharp kernel]

btw since you posted this

do you prefer politoed over pelipper as a rain setter?

in general, not in regards to this team

[fading stratus]

I don't like pelipper

It has so bad stats

But it's good because hurricane is good and it also gets wide guard/tailwind

[sharp kernel]

Centro LEAKS (@CentroLeaks)

Another potential Pokémon battle mechanic change:

Paralysis seems to have a lower effect on speed now or the lowering speed effect has been removed completely.

X · Mar 27, 2026, 2:35 PM

??????

[normal cave]

Better nerf Thundurus

[outer eagle]

They already nerfed it from 1/4 to 1/2

Surely they don’t just make it 2/3 instead

[fading stratus]

Oh if para doesn't lower speed

Then megas and switching might be same priority bracket

Which is wild

[sharp kernel]

If para doesn’t lower speed, my idea to run raichu completely goes out the window lol

[outer eagle]

Para without the speed lowering is just meme Sleep kek

[fading stratus]

Raichu gets electric surge

So it'll be fine regardless

Even if nuzzle doesn't work

[sharp kernel]

Yeah but I wanted him in my rain team for nuzzle/fake out/helping hand

If I’m just running him for fake out/helping hand, there’s better mons I can run

[vagrant steppe]

Yeah if there's no speed lowering what's the point of paralysis

[normal cave]

Raichu Indeedee Iron Crown fouble terrain

[fading stratus]

Yeah like y'know

Incineroar

[vagrant steppe]

Goes from the most relevant status condition to useless

[normal cave]

Sleep is the most relevant status

[fading stratus]

Idt we'll get paradoxes anytime soon

[sharp kernel]

Oh okay, the info here is kinda scuffed by centrist

More than likely natural cure got a buff

[fading stratus]

We won't find out for real until like game launches

[sharp kernel]

I feel like paralysis not working as always would have been something Wolfey would have picked up on

[fading stratus]

But creator copy and actual copy are definitely different

Because of the stuff

Like mega

Thingy

[sharp kernel]

Anyways, I got a solid core I think for my rain team

[fading stratus]

Mega swampert is like a fine mon

[sharp kernel]

Pelipper/Raichu/Meganium/Basculegion
Incineroar will likely make the team, but I'm testing a few other stuff first (also we don't know for sure that we're getting the H forms in champions right?)

[fading stratus]

Sneasler is in

So I'd assume so

I'll say tho

if drampa gets drizzle

it'll probs be the best rain setter thats not a legendary

[maiden flax]

Another possibility was simply that natural cure let them switch first

[sharp kernel]

Why would Drampa get drizzle though

[maiden flax]

But what if... It gets primordial sea?

[sharp kernel]

What’s the lore reason behind it

[maiden flax]

Mega drampa

Cause thunder cloud

[sharp kernel]

Yeah, I’m asking how Drampa goes from having cloud 9 to having a weather ability

Oh wait Drampa doesn’t have cloud 9

I’m bugging tf out

But now that I mention it, mega drampa should have cloud 9

[fading stratus]

the chinese leeks said drampa gets drizzle

so depends on if they're true or not

[maiden flax]

Yes but the Chinese leaks said that froslass would have snow cloak

[fading stratus]

they said snowcape

or snowscape

whatever

not snow cloak

[maiden flax]

They did?
Cause the guy grok said they said snow cloak

[fading stratus]

no the guy grok said snow cape

and I saw snowscape on twitter

[maiden flax]

@fading stratus he said cloak

[fading stratus]

no he said cape before the msg altogether

.

[maiden flax]

They were translating "snow cape"
Which was snow cloak

[fading stratus]

my man @magic thunder tell em

[magic thunder]

YE

sorry for caps

it was like

snowcape

and we didn't know what the "proper" tl was right off the bat

[maiden flax]

Snowcape would be a very weird translation for the Chinese name for snow warning

[maiden flax]

Just to confirm
Do you have the exact words/characters in Chinese what it was?

[fading stratus]

252 SpA Gastly Sludge Bomb vs. 252 HP / 252 SpD Mega Meganium: 192-228 (102.6 - 121.9%) -- guaranteed OHKO

X · Mar 25, 2026, 2:11 PM

[maiden flax]

(cause if we had that I can confirm which ability they were actually referring to

[normal cave]

Tbf gastly has a freakish spatk

But yeah get deleted

[fading stratus]

yeah gastly has I think second highest or highest SpA in little cup vgc

[golden lance]

Bolt help me out

[fading stratus]

sure

[golden lance]

I need a list of every single mon i need to change moves in sv that i cant in za

Got a friend willing to help me out set up the whole thing

[fading stratus]

wont you have fresh new mon while transferred in champions

[golden lance]

Moves nature and abilities wont

I presume

[sharp kernel]

Movepool supposedly transfers over as does nature per the new leaks

[maiden flax]

Second highest
Highest is abra

[sharp kernel]

Stats iirc are the only things not transferable

[golden lance]

Yea this is what i saw

[sharp kernel]

So you can save a lot of VP by just doing everything in SV/SwSh

[fading stratus]

well glimmet was my highest but abra works ig

since both have 105

[golden lance]

So yea back to this

I got

Peli
Incin
Rilla
Palafin
A tales
Sneasler
Arch
Hat
Indee
Giraf

[sharp kernel]

If I was you Choccy, I would pick 6-8 pokemon to play with day 1, and worry about everything else once we have the full info

Since things can drastically change

Depending on certain mechanics

[golden lance]

Ig

@fading stratus you have a dozogiri team built right?

[fading stratus]

uhh yeah

not moves tho

I dont mind playing a unoptimal team

for a while

noone will gonna have a fully optimised team

[sharp kernel]

Idk, I feel like days 1-4 will probably be very comp on ranked queue

[golden lance]

Yea considering its gonna be switch only

[sharp kernel]

Unless ranked queue isn’t being launched immediately

Which I doubt

[fading stratus]

eh

i think most people will just wanna have fun early game

also noone will know day 1 meta

[sharp kernel]

This kid bolt thinks winning isn’t fun

[fading stratus]

so building a whole team all for it to get outdated the day after would be funny

[golden lance]

Oh yea how good was dozogiri in reg H?

Barely able to find results for it

[fading stratus]

I could probably list out like 15 topping teams in 5 mins

frankfurt

[sharp kernel]

Idt there’s a single meta where dozogiri hasn’t topped

Ngl

[fading stratus]

lille

lille

gdansk

stuttgard

brisbane

louisville

gdansk 2

gdansk 2

gdansk 2

gdansk 2

joinville

joinville

did it becoime 15

if not there are more

but i dont wanna spam

the point is dozogiri was good

in a format where everyone and their mom was running haze

[vagrant steppe]

So if the speed changes go through, what the fuck happens with Shadow tag?

[fading stratus]

wdym

if megas and switch have same prio?

you can still switch if you've chosen it at the start of turn before shadow tag is active

[golden lance]

Body Slam does WHAT?

X · Mar 26, 2026, 3:50 AM

People finding out about the secret effect

[spice rivet]

Stomp and Heavy Slam also do this too

But ya, very happy with how clear theyre make move descriptions

[normal cave]

Heavy slam?

Damn, Alolan Muk counter

[spice rivet]

Unironically yes lmao. As long as you get rid of the Smeargle quick enough. I did it once to someone in one of the no legendaries format on ladder

[golden lance]

FUCK THEY ACTUALLY DECONFIRMED PORY 2 BY NAME I GOTTA MOVE THIS GUY

[void herald]

oh is porygon 2 not in?

[warm sky]

outside pikachu no prevos

[void herald]

ah i see

[normal cave]

Rip Clefairy damn

Rip Eviolite

[void herald]

do we know what mega golurk's ability is?

[maiden flax]

Nope

[warm sky]

It's No Guard bc for the Fissure it carries

[hasty anchor]

Yeah, it doesn't come up very often but it can do that.

Minimize can be very frustrating

Heavy Slam, Heat Crash, Steamroller, Stomp, Dragon Rush, Flying Press and Phantom Force (For some reason) also are guaranteed to hit

What's odd is how in Scarlet/Violet, a lot of things that learn Minimize now can't use it.

Chansey and Clefairy can't use it anymore it looks like

[golden lance]

I found it btw

[fading stratus]

gj

[sharp kernel]

Do you remember that max attack bulky offensive grimmsnarl that saw success back in the day @fading stratus

[fading stratus]

not really

[pseudo goblet]

The lesser annoying bird shiny out of the two

[fading stratus]

oh yeah thugs btw

you should participate in the tournament

[golden lance]

Btw bolt, thoughts on mega skarm?

[fading stratus]

there are like 4100 entrants so far

[fading stratus]

unless ability is good it sucks

[golden lance]

[sharp kernel]

I been signed up my boy

I’m trying to get this rain team situated

[pseudo goblet]

Hard to deal with in ranked even with fire type

Drill runs man

[sharp kernel]

What mons do you think are going to be must answer @fading stratus

[golden lance]

I wanted to run balance but we know even know what the format is, much less what its checks are

[golden lance]

Imo its like

[fading stratus]

oh yeah I got a ogerpon btw chocc

[golden lance]

Zard y gengar metagross

[golden lance]

Nice

[pseudo goblet]

Now pray battle pass has her masks lol

[fading stratus]

you need like gengar amogus zard mence kang sinistcha archaludon

pelliper

[sharp kernel]

Ig I got to figure out what’s my answer to perish song also

[fading stratus]

dragonite is pretty good if you have loaded die

because loaded die scale shot is tale as old as time

also you need like farigiraf

and ursaluna

potentially hatterene indeedee

idt those are needed tho

not hatterene

indeedee is good tho

[pseudo goblet]

So about 3 years

[sharp kernel]

Oh right, regular ursaluna technically gets stronger

[fading stratus]

gholdengo obviously

yeah

[golden lance]

I think kang got powercrept i'm ngl

[fading stratus]

incin lost knock

[fading stratus]

depends on switching mega stuff

and if it gets pup

because scrappy ignores intimidate

so its a buff

[golden lance]

It wont get pup

[sharp kernel]

I’m wondering if I should be running sunny day as the 4th move on Meganium for the mirror

[pseudo goblet]

It did in ZA iirc

[golden lance]

Za also didnt have abilities, stats didnt stack, and everyone had SD CM and NP anyway

[sharp kernel]

It’s so hard to theory without knowing what will be legal

[fading stratus]

yeah

its weird

because movepool changes too

[golden lance]

Agree

[fading stratus]

and some items just might not be in

[golden lance]

For all we know rilla doesnt even have grassy glide

[sharp kernel]

But I can just start picking a 6 and work backwards on what’s matchup I have to address

[fading stratus]

perish rain is probs very funny tho

[pseudo goblet]

Let Beedrill keep Outrage, I dare you GF

[fading stratus]

For all we know rilla doesnt even have grassy glide exist

[golden lance]

I think my mega of choice day 1 is probably gengar

Tho i dont want to play perish trap

[fading stratus]

you dont need perish

[golden lance]

Yea ik

I'm just gonna pivot incin in and out

[sharp kernel]

So for right now I’m going to say my 6 is pelipper/Raichu/Basculegion M/Mega Meganium/Ursaluna/Incineroar and work from there to see what are my bad matchups

[fading stratus]

HOLY SHIT THE OGERPON HAS BEST FRIEND RIBBON

so cool

[golden lance]

If i wanted to do rain i would bring like

Peli/basc/meganium/arch/maus/???

Maybe a tailwind guy idk

[fading stratus]

if loaded die exists

this is like a very decent core

[golden lance]

You could fit a swampert in there

[fading stratus]

yeah

you can eq besides dnite pelli

[golden lance]

Whats the dnite set

[sharp kernel]

See, but here’s my thought process, Raichu gives me a leg up in the mirror, and I fully expect A LOT of rain teams in the meta

[golden lance]

Hurricane thunder scale shot protect?

[golden lance]

Yea i agree

Tho i will say swamp also goes insane in the mirror

Eq their arch ice punch the meganium

[pseudo goblet]

Wait how tf

[golden lance]

The thing has like 5 billion atk anyway

[fading stratus]

scale shot espeed tailwind protect

[golden lance]

Oh you could do that

Sure

[fading stratus]

e speed can be haze

[golden lance]

Inner focus?

[pseudo goblet]

Oh just friendship maxed

[fading stratus]

idk

[pseudo goblet]

Not the ‘chosen one’ ribbon

[fading stratus]

but it also has a master ball rank ribbon

and stuff

pretty good find

did trade my second miraidon for it tho

but I dont regret

[golden lance]

I think you should get a BM

Non zero chance it gets in day 1

[pseudo goblet]

Now find Calyrex, both of you

[golden lance]

It's not like i'm not trying yknow

Caly kinda poopoo without the horses tho

So kinda low on the priority list

[fading stratus]

you can just do like this

[golden lance]

What natures on stuff?

[fading stratus]

you go like max speed ghold

timid

[golden lance]

Also no flip turn on pert?

[fading stratus]

err not timid

[pseudo goblet]

Swampert can flip turn????

[golden lance]

Yea since gen 8

[fading stratus]

tell me what will you remove

[golden lance]

Uhhhh

Horsepower?

Lowkey maybe protect

[sharp kernel]

I’m on wide guard on my pel for now, but again, I got to see just what’s in to adjust

[fading stratus]

you can remove protect

but i wouldnt recommend

[sharp kernel]

I also don’t think you need a 2nd offensive move on pelipper if you have a swift swimmer tbh

[pseudo goblet]

Kinda forgot Flip turn was a gen 8 move

I think

[golden lance]

Also that arch has 2 flash cannons

[fading stratus]

ones supposed to be body press

[pseudo goblet]

Bolt hear me out, Incineroar getting a Fire type Parting shot, but it leaves burned

It’d likely make funny interaction with facade mons

[sharp kernel]

Sigh this sucks cause swampert technically checks both m gengar and gholdengo, while basculegion m technically only checks gholdengo

Oh wait I’m lying

Nvm

[fading stratus]

lol

[sharp kernel]

Basculegion checks both

I probably just band my legion right

[golden lance]

My issue with basc is that your ghost move is kinda balls until last respects gets online

[golden lance]

Yea if you're gonna run it

[fading stratus]

you can run power herb phantom force

thats a funny thing people did

power herb phantom force to break protect

or wide guard

so kyogre gets full power sprout

[golden lance]

Oh yea fun fact

Psychic fangs can also break screens

[fading stratus]

yeah

[golden lance]

Weird that it can do that

[fading stratus]

also raging bull can break screens iirc

[fading stratus]

oh does ogerpon always have lonely nature zane?

thats a nice touch

[pseudo goblet]

Yeah

https://tenor.com/view/christmas-ogerpon-pokemon-gif-3793436354597298592

[hasty anchor]

It is a very cool detail

You can't really socialize much when you are stuck on top of a mountain, and the locals think you really are a monster.

[pseudo goblet]

I still gotta do the pecharunt quest lol

Gonna see if I can put Poipole in the 800

It was kinda Dynamax Adventure’s selling point

Even in the poster

[fading stratus]

ah

[pseudo goblet]

But yeah, Type Null

[fading stratus]

I have 7 mons I wanna trade rn zane I'll contact you when I reach 10

[pseudo goblet]

Completely forgot

So later, sure

[fading stratus]

oh there's no archaludon in go

zane will you evolve a few of my mons when I ask

[outer eagle]

Wonder if you put up some random nostalgia gen 1 mon like Nidoking or whatever someone will give you like Xerneas in return

[fading stratus]

so I have a team with my OT

[fading stratus]

oh you put mewtwo

there's like hacked mewtwo stuff in gts

where if you put something okay

it'll give you mewtwo

and then you go from there

do you notice something weird in the photo

that's not a mega stone we know of for it to be a troll

aerodactyl is same color scheme but inverted

[normal cave]

Is it perhaps a ttarite

[fading stratus]

its a ttarite

[magic thunder]

kek

also why no mega on team 2

[fading stratus]

they forgor

[warm sky]

anyway mega weavile should only happen if 2 things

one, it has sharpness

2 we get an ice type slicing move

[golden lance]

Team 2 has seven mons

[icy heath]

Finally found the pokemon that was my first shiny in Pokemon Go

[magic thunder]

team 2 gets to sos call a buddy

truth nuke

[fading stratus]

I still dont have a shiny in go

[icy heath]

[pseudo goblet]

Somehow I just knew this after I saw Liko and Dot lol

[magic thunder]

Do you think the pokemon that are shown to have human-like intellect just send their owners memes in messages

[golden lance]

No, they send you memes via telepathy

You can a wrong read and they flood you with "chat are we cooked?"

[magic thunder]

The incomprehensible horror meme hatterene sends you before beating you to death for laughing too hard at something

[ashen barn]

@icy heath's paradise

[icy heath]

omg gib

[ashen barn]

Yeeep

[icy heath]

I don't even have to pay for that I can just steal it

[ashen barn]

I'll send you a postcard instead

[icy heath]

[ashen barn]

Pokemon postcard, how about it?

[icy heath]

For sure

[ashen barn]

[golden lance]

Bright powder incin is devious now that i look at it

Holy

Altho, thinking about it, the teams are probably randomized no?

[fading stratus]

I doubt that

it woulda been hard if someone got a new mega

when teams are randomised

so

they probably had stuff

[golden lance]

What i'm thinking is

Why would you give a team 2 megas and the other none?

Pokemon tends to be very averse to asymmetry

[golden lance]

Also would it?

All stones are gonna be in the shop

[fading stratus]

yeah but theyre only showing battles preview

here

[golden lance]

Oh yea how we feel about mega golisopod?

Mega scizor was pretty good in vgc wasnt it?

[fading stratus]

it wasnt

it was like playable

thats more than a lot of megas

[golden lance]

Why is vgc so centralized uuuuuuuuuugh

[fading stratus]

bro thats like ou too

pokemon in general

scizor apparently had 9 regionals top 8

thats like fine

usage

[golden lance]

Ou gives me the illusion of choice its different

But yea i feel that the stuff to beat is jenjar and meganium

And the steel types feel pretty good into both

Bug steel specially with the 4x grass resist

[fading stratus]

meganium definitely isnt stuff to beat

[golden lance]

Its not but its prob the most popular

At least week 1

[swift jasper]

because it stands for video gaming central

[fading stratus]

every good mega not named kanghaskhan has a good MU into meganium

also I was looking at past formats

I had forgotten Kartana got tailwind

[magic thunder]

it stands for vileplume gengar carracosta, the 3 mons banned to ubers for the new mechanic in gen 11

[fading stratus]

Clearly G is Gumshoos

[magic thunder]

gumshoos will have a new abillity where he can declare war on Kanto to get a third turn

oh yeah

gen 11 leak fr fr

we get the actual fossil form of

dragapult

[fading stratus]

it'll be called dinopult

[magic thunder]

oh yeah btw

shoutout to the elite ball knowledge in his design

where the tail end is ghostly

[fading stratus]

a[dragapult]

[magic thunder]

because we have never found the fossil he's based on with that part of the tail intact

[jovial goblet]

Could not resolve English data for searches: dragapult

[magic thunder]

[pseudo goblet]

What I miss

[magic thunder]

Dragapult

[icy heath]

Ancient race of skeleton lizards discovered

[magic thunder]

Ancient?

they're still here...

[icy heath]

They always will be. In our hearts.

[golden lance]

Ok the plan is the following chat

I'm gonna level up 30 furfrous to lvl91

And then snipe every single mf asking for one in place of a legendary

If it works i'm golden and maybe bolt too depending on how many i get

[warm sky]

smh Liza still exists

[pseudo goblet]

From Go orrrr ZA???

[golden lance]

Za

Apparently in older games they keep the trim even when transfering

[pseudo goblet]

Last time I check older games dont keep the hair once in HOME

Also sure ZA was the plan but we dont have HOME support yet, by then people will either take the legendaries down or taken by others already

[fading stratus]

thats actually genius ngl

honestly tho choccy

if you can get okay shinies

you can get koraidon genned

and those can snipe most legendaries

[pseudo goblet]

https://tenor.com/view/furfrou-pokemon-anipoke-anime-xy-gif-5020881026203046504

I blame the trolls man

[fading stratus]

not even furfrou trolls vro

the bigger trolls are the meowth trolls

galarian meowth to transfer in lets go

[golden lance]

Problem is finding those

Since you cant ask for those

Tho ig i can hunt them myself

[fading stratus]

yeah finding them is a bit awkwars

but I generally gts search for almost every mon on the box

[fading stratus]

looks like rillaboom and indeedee arent in the game

yeah its probably a pretty decent mon

[fading stratus]

https://youtu.be/Mak5VkqLocE?si=weCtWyfbf7vounk9

[maiden flax]

There is a non-zero chance they give mega garchomp z sharpness despite being a special attacker

[normal cave]

Air slash boost

[golden lance]

Anything that should or shouldnt be here?

80 slots really aint enough idk what yall are on

[normal cave]

Double megas

Is that standard?

Damn, one of those is tripple mega

[golden lance]

None of these are completed teams

Just everything that i plan to use in champs

[normal cave]

Ah

[sharp kernel]

Armarogue probably tbh

[golden lance]

Maybe?

Its probably the hardest non mega hitter that psyspam gets tho

[sharp kernel]

Delphox should take that slot though no?

So like yeah

[golden lance]

It has levitate tho

[sharp kernel]

Is that confirmed

[golden lance]

Yep

In the trailers

The other two got protean and bulletproof ftr

So unless you wanna do skill swap shit its probably relegated to being a sun mon

[normal cave]

Gotta compete with zardy for that slot

It do get heat wave at least

[sharp kernel]

Random thought, but why the fuck are we running mega swampert in a world where mega meganium will likely be meta lol

[golden lance]

its my favorite mega

https://pokepast.es/1895079d22d30652

this is everything i plan on getting pre champs release

the other stuff can wait

[sharp kernel]

This is fair for you, but I meant in general

What does mega swampert answer that basculegion M doesn’t?

[fading stratus]

indeedee isnt in the game choccy

realistically

doubt meganium will be meta

it'll be like

landorus therian rn

not even lan t

[golden lance]

Look at the pokepaste

[fading stratus]

btw chocc

talonflame sometimes just doesnt carry an item

[golden lance]

Acro?

[fading stratus]

to get 110 power acro

[golden lance]

Yea

[fading stratus]

which doesnt break gale wings

[golden lance]

Surely you could bring grassy seed or smth

[mighty storm]

got a playset of mega ducky now

[fading stratus]

eh

[sharp kernel]

Idk, I think the fact that it had positive matchups vs literally every other grass type already makes it already solid. Idet amoongus can ohko it with the 4x weakness. And you’re not leaving amoongus in vs a pelipper/meganium lead

[fading stratus]

rilla isnt in the game

[fading stratus]

it doesnt have good MU against most megas you mean

mence can double edge

zard can torch it in sun

gengar can sludge bomb

metagross can use steel moves

frosslass can blizzard

[golden lance]

But yea bolt

[sharp kernel]

Nothing you said worries me

[golden lance]

Anything i should change?

[fading stratus]

if you wanna pretrain moveset you need to train multiples

[sharp kernel]

Meganium can be positioned in a winning position much easier than Zard, froslass and metagross

[fading stratus]

thats like the fakest sentence I;ve ever read

[sharp kernel]

Join the tournament bolt

Please let me watch you go 0-3 drop

[fading stratus]

bro if I had a switch I'd

[golden lance]

The fabled second ursaluna set

[fading stratus]

luna sometimes foregoes eq for swords dance/sub

also bro did you take some crack

wtf is rock slide

[golden lance]

Ngl i just picked the top 4 off pikalytics

[fading stratus]

the fabled assault vested dozo

dozo always carries protect

unless its rest talk

https://munchstats.com/

also use this

idt dozo is that good without tera

obv its fine

but now surely you can position it to get like a big ass atk

tho you should probs carry haze

if dozo is popular

[golden lance]

https://pokepast.es/59900b619694add0

how this?

[fading stratus]

I was doing a write up for the above list

if torkoal has protect

overheat is fine

because of the item eject pack

heat wave is more for specs sets

taunt on the bird can be wisp

you can also play like overheat brave bird

if you want 2 offensive moves

you can do anothe neenaytales set with encore disable icy wind blizzard or blizzard protect or sth

[golden lance]

i dont really wanna do dupes for now

lest in indulge myself in having 8 different incins

[fading stratus]

incin is like a fine set you need like 3 different incin sets for different builds because sometimes you just play 1 offensive move for wisp/taunt/snarl

or helping hand

and in AV sets you play uturn

over parting

probs do iron defense body press corv

hyphlosion is fine sometimes it foregoes a fire move for its signature

[golden lance]

while keeping roost tailwind i assume?

[fading stratus]

you sometimes dont even carry tailwind or roost

just depends on set

[golden lance]

i see

[fading stratus]

like this for example

[golden lance]

ic

btw any mons i should add to the most recent pokepaste?

do still have 12 slots

before even breaking 30

[fading stratus]

megas or non megas

you can add like ttar

[golden lance]

preferably non megas since i want to do those on a separate sheet

[fading stratus]

with knock rock slide low kick

and sth else

with av

or d dance stuff

or even just cleam protect

[golden lance]

cleam?

[fading stratus]

clear amulet

[golden lance]

ah

[fading stratus]

there's also kommo o

with like iron defense body press flamethrower protect

loaded die scale shot dnite

sneasler

volcarona if its confirmed

garchomp talonflame is a strong duo

aegislash hydreigon is another probably decent duo

basculegend

[golden lance]

wouldnt ghold dreigon be better?

[fading stratus]

aegislash is like insanely good mon

even after the nerf

[golden lance]

yea but its ghold

what moves does scale shot dnite run again? espeed what else

[fading stratus]

you can run espeed and a offensive move like low kick/iron head

or tailwind

or scale shot haze protect

tailwind

lemme look at this first

obv harcanine

it also needs like 2 sets

one howl set

another banded

clefable supportive

orthworm with eq spam is a fine strat

pult obv

[golden lance]

what nature kommo uses? impish?

[fading stratus]

bold

[golden lance]

sure

oh yea also gonna cut all the mons i can get in za

this list is gonna be sent to someone else

[fading stratus]

palafin

I'll say the worlds format will probs be very centralising

because looking at the mon list I'm having trouble naming 30 great mons

that cant mega

[golden lance]

do you even run harca if incin exists?

[fading stratus]

yeah

harca is an offensive intimidator

incin is a defensive intimidator

rock fire is a very good offensive typing

[golden lance]

is sneasler even worth without terrains?

[fading stratus]

yeah you can sash

[golden lance]

which speaking of we havent seen any

[fading stratus]

or white herb

also kingambit

kingambit has good MU vs frosslass and gengar megas

also basculegion stuff

in sun teams

[golden lance]

i assume it's the exact set as singles gambit

but with protect

[fading stratus]

swords dance sucker kowtow protect

[golden lance]

yea pretty much

[fading stratus]

or sucker kowtow iron head lowkick

with av

[fading stratus]

this with black glasses

[golden lance]

https://pokepast.es/1568b45529639353

now what

oh yea legion

[fading stratus]

politoed

azumarill

[golden lance]

deadass?

[fading stratus]

azu kang was a good duo back in the day

[golden lance]

that was two generations ago

[fading stratus]

basically what you do was lead kang azu

kang threatens fake out

so they want to double protect

but if they are passive azu can belly drum

or if they arent passive and double atk azu to deal with you faking out one mon kang would pup them and azu protect

it was such a nasty 50/50

[golden lance]

thoughts on weezing g

[fading stratus]

its pretty good yeah

[golden lance]

i'm considering that or hat

for the last box slot

what would champs trick room even look like?

[fading stratus]

farigiraf ursaluna

there's no indeedee so hat sucks

there's no p2

no cress

mimikyu sucks

I can see mega garde TR

gothitelle exists ig

so there

[golden lance]

should probably bring grimm?

[fading stratus]

yeah

[golden lance]

i need a screens guy

[fading stratus]

bronzong exists ig

as a trick room mon

[golden lance]

oh yea should probably do confirmed mons only

weezing we're not sure on right?

[fading stratus]

yeah idt we've seen it

oh yeah

you should also get the best mon ever

jumpluff

[golden lance]

last slot is volc

[fading stratus]

holy shit dude probably made a teamsheet error

and had to play it

thinking about the original 30 pokemon from when they thought they would only get space for 30

[fading stratus]

you still need 6 mons

[void herald]

remarkable that all but two of them made it into the game

[golden lance]

pokepaste only lets me do 24

[void herald]

even if some of them are pretty different from their final designs (especially scyther and gyarados)

[fading stratus]

what this

[golden lance]

i can reserve the last 6 for za stuff

[void herald]

gyaon, one of the two that got cut

[fading stratus]

ah

[void herald]

the other one that got cut is omega, the one next to blastoise

gyaon would later have a pre-evo designed that would be the basis for the substitute doll's design

[fading stratus]

yeah that makes sense

Guess she doesnt have Clef plush

[warm sky]

Ig not

[fading stratus]

they just hate emboar

[sharp kernel]

What if I add a trick room mode to my rain team with farigiraf + ursaluna 👀

[fading stratus]

yeah thats why ursa rain teams play sinistcha

because it also heals archaludon

[normal cave]

Any good slow mon with swift swim?

[fading stratus]

basc itself is pretty slow

78 speed isnt fast

[normal cave]

So basc can get speed control from both rain and tr

[fading stratus]

it'll be awkward conflict

[normal cave]

So archaludon is probs the best sweeper

[fading stratus]

this is how rain teams played TR in SV

with just sinistcha and a moderate speed ursaluna

which can take advantage of tailwind as well

[normal cave]

Slow, tanky, good in rain or tr

[fading stratus]

and sinistcha tr

[normal cave]

Hey that runs basc too

[fading stratus]

basc is usually just a rain sweeper

this is like a really funny rain team

[sharp kernel]

Well my entire team is meant to be good into the conventional mirror, hence my raichu/MMeganium choice. I’m still undecided whether my raichu should just be supportive sash or be my 2nd mega option though

[normal cave]

Scarf peli monka

[maiden flax]

I think the funniest use I have heard for mega emboar is being able to helping hand gholdengo

[fading stratus]

yeah

[fading stratus]

the idea is the whole team is supposed to be this "fake" rain team

[normal cave]

Ghold is usually immune to helping hand?

[fading stratus]

yeah

helping hand coaching decorate

[normal cave]

Oooooh it's rain! Surprise, it's tailwind!

[maiden flax]

I hope
They expand the number of wind moves

Cause I'm sort of interested in trying wind rider in vgc

Getting boosted by icy wind sounds hilarious

[fading stratus]

there was a world where brambleghast woulda been the world champion

[maiden flax]

Oh?

[fading stratus]

yeah worlds 2023

emilio forbes had brambleghast

he got a unfortunate dc in t16

[maiden flax]

Noooo!

[fading stratus]

or well half the field got the dc

which made them play a sudden death

where he lost

he coulda won

[maiden flax]

Unfortunate

[fading stratus]

yeah

[maiden flax]

But wind rider in VGC sounds very interesting cause of tailwind and icy wind both counting for the buff

[fading stratus]

it was like this team

brambleghast was a sick ass anti meta mon because it was immune to bleakwind and heatwave of heatran

[maiden flax]

Tailwind tornadus I assume

[fading stratus]

thats why some torn played air slash

just for brambleghast

[maiden flax]

Nice

[fading stratus]

yeah its mandatory

it was also before brambleghast got poltergeist btw

so its best ghost move was tera ghost blast

or phantom force
