maybe it;d be okay with that but idt its good still
it;'d be usable for sure
I wouldnt expect a top tier mega or sth

i would think that would def make it good, cause like, holy hell effectively 390 bp overheat (without sun)

So I’ve come to the conclusion that it M Drampa gets drizzle, running 2 rain setters is probably correct. And that 2nd rain setter will not be pelipper
normal cave
Frogge?
sharp kernel
Yeah
I haven’t thought about it too deeply, but my initial thought if m drampa is drizzle is
M Drampa + Grimmsnarl
Politoed + Raichu
Both Raichu and Grimmsnarl would fill supportive roles on the team
sharp kernel
Drampa would fill gaps for me vs the mirror, TR teams, while Grimmsnarl would be one of my answers to M Gengar
Grimmsnarl set is hard though, I really want to do Light Screen/Parting Shot/Taunt, but then I kinda have to do Spirit Break/Knock Off in that last slot

@pseudo goblet for the bug
fading stratus
<@703113512901410858> what do you think of eruption torkoal?
Wdym think of?
Torkoal will probably still be a pretty good Mon
Trick room in general doesn't have a strong setter rn tho
We haven't seen indeedee and P2 duskclops are confirmed not in
normal cave
Farig?
normal cave
Is smeagol in?
fading stratus
There isn't like indeedee hatterene kinda stuff
Idts
We haven't seen smeargle
But also smeargle isn't good in weaker format
Because the mons you're supporting are weaker
normal cave
I see
fading stratus
It has psychic surge in the fake ladder
normal cave
Ah
normal cave
Dnite top 5 makes me happy
normal cave
Not like dnite in general will be bad then
fading stratus
Regular dnite is pretty good
Multiscale boosts the survivability of the mega
But like
Mega never struggled surviving anyway
With bulk like that
sharp kernel
Issue with dnite is its mega is competing with a lot
But also, fake ladder is just that, fake format
polar osprey
multiscale was a massive miss
fading stratus
I wouldn't except dnite to do good in like a real format either with mega
polar osprey
it makes it a lot trickier to use and honestly probably not worth
it would be 100% better if it just kept inner focus
fading stratus
Not really? Why would it keep inner focus when it's a special attacker
That's like slow start is better than huge power kinda take
sharp kernel
It would def make it better, but outside of Drampa potentially having drizzle, every other mega ability has either been meh, or literally holding the mon back from its crazy stat gains
Like dnite and delphox come to mind
fading stratus
Scale shot sets always ran multiscale anyway
So like what it did was also multiscale
And banded sets occasionally run multiscale too
Because it's multiscale at the end of the day
fading stratus
It would def make it better, but outside of Drampa potentially having drizzle, e...
Every new mega feels so overbalanced
polar osprey
mega dnite already has great bulk
I would much rather press buttons without worrying about flinching
or when to mega to not eat one
sharp kernel
Every new mega feels so overbalanced
Agreed, that’s why I high key don’t believe they would give Drampa drizzle while already having access to cloud nine
fading stratus
Like frosslass is the best mega rn so far
And it's because it's got snow warning aurora veil and 120 speed tier
Dnite just wasn't worth being physical attacker in mega tho unless they changed it's ability
You can't hold band for espeed spam
Can't hold loaded die for scale shot spam
It doesn't do shit physically
With inner focus
On a mega
polar osprey
if they had just put the points to attack instead it would have 180 base without being band locked
that's enough
fading stratus
Not really for a 80 BP move that you don't get stab on
And can't pair chien pao with
fading stratus
Mega ray ran swords dance
To boost espeed
Dnite doesn't have that luxury
And if you're using d dance why aren't you just using mence
sharp kernel
High key, I’m kinda scared that no more Tera will lead to the game being generally less skillful
fading stratus
It'll be more skillfull in team building
sharp kernel
Also, I’m assuming we’re keeping open team sheets yeah?
polar osprey
And if you're using d dance why aren't you just using mence
bcs physical dnite would have like, much better stats for d dance?
fading stratus
No?
sharp kernel
It'll be more skillfull in team building
I think in the beginning of a format yeah, but as the format goes on, it won’t be as ever changing as some of the regs we had
(Obviously the non restricted regs mainly)
fading stratus
Idk where the thought of ddance dnite sweeping everything comes from but dnite has never been so as to borderline playable in VG before gen 9
polar osprey
I'm not talking about ddance dnite sweeping lmao
I'm saying a physical mega dnite with the same spread would do what mence does but better
fading stratus
It wouldn't
Mence would have a better ability better speed tier
A better ability pre mega

GO's got different leagues with CP limitations rather than level
It's why some mons with low CP are actually busted in some leagues (Azumaril and Altaria in Great League, for example)
normal cave
Dedene 
hasty anchor
Only Master League with no CP cap tends to lean towards the usual busted stuff
hasty anchor
With only 2 hard-hitting attacks to choose from, they can also make and break how mons are used
And yeah, it's overall battling power, not hard level
Meaning you have like, what is essentially a level 85 Furret and what is a level 30 Salamence on the team
pseudo goblet
In otherwords, better keep some weaker mons if you wanna play
hasty anchor
Yeah, I don't play the game, but it seems like that's the case
If you catch something that'd be cool for trainer battles, you might want to hold off on too much powering up

I think I remember their use goes like
The tank because of Eviolite?
Speedy
Atk focus
Maybe I got their roles mixed up
hasty anchor
I think the stat calculation's also a bit skewed in GO
Like, speed isn't factored in very well, so a lot of CP comes from where the other 5 stats are going
I think it's infamously what made a mon like Vaporeon so busted, but ended up making some like Alakazam or Jolteon very "eh"

Torkoal will probably still be a pretty good Mon
I meant specifically eruption torkoal

surely you'd just play zard

and it sets sun which gives *1.5x boost regardless

Man I was trying to calc how well it compares to psyspam but every mon I find for VGC either resists/is immune or is weak to either psychic type moves or fire moves so I'm running out of good points of comparison lmao

Yeah it’s hard to theory off just speculation
That’s why I have my non Drampa rain team and my drampa rain team

drampa is weird in the sense that its neither fast nor it gets that much advantage from rain
it'd probably pretty decent but I wouldnt say it would be best rain setter

it'd probably pretty decent but I wouldnt say it would be best rain setter
I’m running 2 rain setters if Drampa gets drizzle
fading stratus
its kinda weird because rain already wants to run 2 dragons in dnite arch

Drampa is going to fill a niche moreso than be a primary rain setter
If M Drampa has drizzle, it’s easily a better mon than m dnite
Since it actually fills a niche
M dnite is competing with m salamence

Again, comparing it to any SV reg would be stupid
Even the threat of Tera was something that forced people to play differently.

A lot of things learn Rain Dance, and it's all over the place what does
Moltres can learn it, Rhydon can learn it, Tyranitar can learn it (lol), Camerupt can learn it too what
-Ok, Moltres and Rhydon, sure. Tyranitar? Little less reasonable. Camerupt!?
kind vortex
i see no reason a camel can't dance for rain

oranguru is there, coincidence? i think not
oranguru + mega aggron is really funny
pseudo goblet
One turn +4 defense and one turn double Body Press? 
pseudo goblet
Okay aggron does learn Body press, SwSh tho
pseudo goblet
Less than 24 hrs for champions?
Mons mostly likely to change abilities soon?
As in which one btw
fading stratus
ig gallade might get sharpness
in mega
if mega gallade gets sharpness it'll probably be pretty good
@golden lance can you get all in za
golden lance
Everything but meowscarada exactly
fading stratus
this probably looks like a pretty decent HO core
I need to optimise this but after testing
you just tailwind then eq or make it rain
or banded stuff

Okay yup, internet rotted my brain
young river

fading stratus
@golden lance another dondozo core
maybe sth like this'
@warm sky would love a jenjar perish trap team too
probably
probably needs optimisation tho
like ghold might need specs
dnite might need scale shot set
and so on
pseudo goblet
Where meta
fading stratus
I'll make a metagross team for you obv zane
but like the above team felt funny
because the idea is not even perish trapping your opps
but rather perishing your own tatsugiri
so that it dies inside dodonzo
and flamigo costar copies the boost
pseudo goblet
I'll make a metagross team for you obv zane
Might wanna prep two kind of Gastrodon team/ one don team one starmie team if you know what I mean lol
young river
oh Champiosn comes out when i get off from work nice
fading stratus
Might wanna prep two kind of Gastrodon team/ one don team one starmie team if yo...
yeah I can make a starmie team for you too
gastro would be weird
gastro is a good mon
only problem is its good only when Kyogre is good
outer eagle
It will counter Starmie-M trust

@fading stratus how good is moody in VGC?
fading stratus
smeargle is pretty good
maiden flax
Mainly wondering cause I wonder how worth it is it to try and do moody scovillain shenanigans with the mega
Moody is banned in singles so that isn't happening but I wonder if it has any merit in vgc
fading stratus
you'd rather just use chlorophyll
the "playable" meme moody strat is like the muk strat
where you follow me smeargle it dies muk copies with power of the alchemy
then you minimise
- moody stuff
- then costar flamigo copy the boost
but its veru susceptible to just taunt
lmao
fading stratus
#1 Gengar
#2 Blastoise
#3 Mewtwo
#4 Aegislash
#5 Breloom
#6 Aggron
#7 Scizor
#8 ...
honestly pretty good top 10
fading stratus
if it does it will probabably be pretty okay anti meta pick
fading stratus
gengar in general is like a insanely good mon
especially with dynamic speed now
its like the fastest mon on the meta probably
or pretty close
unless stuff like alakazam the z stuff gets good

why does the choice for January always feel like "oh right January exists I had so many ideas for June to September but I didn't think about January"
warm sky
watch the lockstin video on like starter evo predictions
Wow I hate his take on the pombom line
"oh we need the line to be Dutch inspired"
The only Dutch part is a Dutch braid
That's such a shitty stretch
outer eagle
Predictions tend to be stretches yes
pseudo goblet
That's such a shitty stretch
Im surprised you didnt just blocked him after the godzilla video
warm sky
Im surprised you didnt just blocked him after the godzilla video
I like most of his vids
The zilla one eas terrible tho
But idk man, the other 2 he actually leaned into China/India
And he couldn't think of anything Dutch???
A Dutch Braid isn't even an actual Dutch hairstyle
It's just called that!!!
pseudo goblet
Gotta watch once Im home lol
warm sky
Also
Idk if intentional
But you can't fucking call your Dutch inspired fire Pokémon after an Oven
People will just be making fart jokes
(at the least the Dutch Oven is actually Dutch-ish)
maiden flax
then you minimise
Ah yes
The method that dies to feraligatr :x
fading stratus
what does feraligatr do

Body Slam memes
Return and Frustration being removed is funny to think about since the implication is that starting from SwSh mons don't have the ability to express their emotions in battle anymore?
golden lance
<@708512166470483998> I had saved the dragalge but why is gts full of shiny drag...
Bc ZA launched and the mons arent popular enough to move despite the supply increase
fading stratus

warm sky
pseudo goblet
guesses were either that or tough claw
fading stratus
good as gold would be very very unlikely
just because skarmory shiny isnt even gold
so like unless the ability changes between regular and shiny color
fading stratus
guesses were either that or tough claw
also zane when you free
pseudo goblet
oh right
sonic inlet
just because skarmory shiny isnt even gold
The shiny just gets good as silver
fading stratus

fading stratus

pseudo goblet

pseudo goblet
