fading stratus

maiden flax
#

Thank FUCK I protect to see their move, Toed do Icy wind sweateragent

pseudo goblet
#

Man I love redirect

#

wait nvm what

#

Is safety goggle in the game???

#

Didnt redirect incin fake out

warm sky
pseudo goblet
fading stratus
#

fake out goes before rage powder

#

because of the priority

pseudo goblet
#

Aww man

fading stratus
#

rage powder has +2 priority so dnite can also bypass rage powder with extreme speed

sharp kernel
#

Going to try out upper hand on sneasler today, see how that feels

fading stratus
#

since dnite is faster than sinistcha

#

upper hand is such a fake move

#

just play fake out

warm sky
pseudo goblet
#

Thank god Basculegend, 100 bp last respect crit on Palafin and ko

#

Fake out faster than Espeed??

#

Nope

pseudo goblet
#

Two op mons and they pick kind old man lol

#

Steelix came out??????????

fading stratus
#

might be mega steelix too

pseudo goblet
#

WHERE IS YOUR MEGA DUDE??????

#

… Stomping Tantrum on Phox?

#

Look, dnite doing well after learning breaking people shins lol

fading stratus
#

oh btw fun fact

#

if you stomping into a mon that makes it fail stomping

#

i.e. empty partner slot or flying/levitating mon

#

then stomping turns into 150 bp next turn

pseudo goblet
#

The empty partner part

#

Should be enough for the day

fading stratus
#

say you only have a mon left

#

and your side slot is empty

fading stratus
#

its good

pseudo goblet
fading stratus
#

it comes up

pseudo goblet
#

Using this strat and unpunished

#

Ig sleep temp huh

fading stratus
#

its optimal in a 1v1 when you think your opponent is going to protect

pseudo goblet
#

Although, either its Amogus gone, or sleep really nerfed to hell

fading stratus
pseudo goblet
#

No sleep moment

fading stratus
#

I have seen it occur multiple times on stream

#

but Idk which ones

hasty anchor
#

Phantom Force is pretty interesting a move, isn't it?

#

Makes me wonder if anyone has to use moves like Fly or Dig just to make a counterplay.

sharp kernel
#

Volcarona is genuinely such a hard pokemon to use in doubles

#

I can’t figure it out

pseudo goblet
#

Ig redirect and quiver dance

fading stratus
#

its just that tera doesnt exist'

#

and everything clicks rock slide

fading stratus
#

you either setup with quiver

#

or rage powder

pseudo goblet
#

So my idea works fluff

fading stratus
#

no tera is honestly a big blow for a mon which was pretty great in SV VGC

fading stratus
#

I meant for volc

#

volc has been a pretty great mon altogether in sv

#

it has 3 regionals wins

pseudo goblet
fading stratus
#

7 second places apparently

#

17 top 4s

hasty anchor
maiden flax
fading stratus
#

Looks like champions tier isnt top 300?

#

I saw someone in t347 in champions tier

icy heath
mighty storm
#

I didnt even consider this possibility

#

Tomodachi Life lets you do pixel art

spice rivet
#

The lowest I got was just outside Top 500, but kept going: Win Loss Loss Win Win Loss Loss, so I lost some ground

mighty storm
#

So we can add the Pokemon as pets in tomodachi life LTD

#

or even slowpoke tails as a food item

latent sleet
#

can you derank into a lower tier?

#

i didn’t play much

spice rivet
# latent sleet can you derank into a lower tier?

You can derank into levels of the same tier. For example, if someone goes on a huge loss Streak when at Great Ball 1, theyll go through Great Balls 1, derank to Great Ball 2 etc all the way back down to Great Ball 4. But you wont go down any lower than that like into Pokeball Tier

pseudo goblet
#

^

#

also wait so I wont drop to Great once Im Ultra?

fading stratus
#

Got this @pseudo goblet
This is maybe not real
31 IVs and a move changed to solarbeam

That's technically possible so I'm keeping this

sharp kernel
#

Just run Meganium at that point clearly

fading stratus
#

good morning zane

fading stratus
#

people just wanna see their fav starter be good

#

like I understand

#

but you're competition is like

#

floette for a fairy special attacker

#

and zard y, delphox, frosslass for special attacking mega

#

and even stuff like dnite, glimmora

#

like its fine but not gamebreaking or anything

pseudo goblet
#

Dw theres still Venusaur blob3c

fading stratus
#

wanna play a venusaur team or sth

#

like mega venusaur

#

not that sun stuff

pseudo goblet
#

Later maybe lol

#

I’d assume best I stay with phox

fading stratus
#

probably

#

you have learned to play the team

pseudo goblet
#

Which believe it or not, I feel more comfortable with Psychic over Heat wave for some reason

fading stratus
#

missing and all yeah

#

makes sense

pseudo goblet
#

Moi not spamming the nuke spread move

#

Then again, plenty of water

pseudo goblet
#

gotten to be a really big fan of Sandstorm Yuri lately #PokemonChampions

This is not about winning anymore. Sneasler's favorite hobby is bullying Incineroar.

How I be playing Pokemon Champions:

▶ Play video

have been playing pokemon champions and using zoroark

fading stratus
#

probs oras

#

there's like 4 good mega in the whole batch

#

mence meta ray and maybe lopunny

#

idk diancie

pseudo goblet
#

Meta ray mence and altaria? Lol

#

Aww

fading stratus
#

ZA unironically doenst have as awful megas as initially thought

pseudo goblet
#

Scolipede? Lol

fading stratus
#

floette frosslass and delphox are all good

#

meganium dnite are fine

fading stratus
pseudo goblet
#

True

pseudo goblet
#

Bro what is Sneasler cooking recently

sharp kernel

#

The lack of misdirection also really benefits sneasler right now

fading stratus
#

I wanna say when its time for NAIC balance will overtake weather HO

latent sleet
pseudo goblet
#

@fading stratus so the way Im using the team so far

I do kinda protect and subs stall with Phox while letting the second mon deal with enemy

Dnite… Scale shot kinda mid I wont lie, low kick do have some kills

Incin, its f-ing Incin EZ

Tea, I totally get why people use it now, tho, I never clicked Trick Room, although I do realize as Im typing its for counter-TR, another thing I do spam Matcha a lot with Phox, also getting use to Life dew

Basculegend, really good, although maybe I am considering for Icy wind now

gambit… think My problem with it is I shouldn’t just use it for type matchup but moreso out damage enemies

fading stratus
#

you can play garchomp over dnite

#

garchomp
-dragon claw
-earthquake
-protect
-stomping tantrum/rock slide

item can be white herb lum berry soft sand

#

max atk max speed

#

jolly

#

2 hp points ig

#

ability rough skin

pseudo goblet
#

But once Loaded dice are added back in?

fading stratus
#

I mean sure dnite yeah

#

with loade die

pseudo goblet
#

Kinda figure it wasn’t in game since you picked lum berry

fading stratus
#

you can also potentially change gambit for aerodactyl

#

if you keep losing vs sun

#

but gambit is good vs rain

#

and floette

pseudo goblet
#

Next session would probably be me using Gambit for pure damage

fading stratus
#

gotcha

pseudo goblet
#

Although them fairies really need to show up more often, fricking Iron heads against mostly waters

fading stratus
#

you show kowtow

pseudo goblet
#

Again, I shouldn’t look at just the typings

#

It’s probably why I feel awkward with Ghold last time too

#

So many waters

#

Tera so not helping

fading stratus
pseudo goblet
#

Im aware I might be asking redundant question

fading stratus
#

yeah

#

sucker is priority

#

gambit is slow

#

kowtow is strong

#

also doesnt need them to atk

outer eagle
#

When i sucker but she has extreme speed clearly

pseudo goblet
#

Any other mon has espeed in the format beside dnite

fading stratus
#

arcanine

#

lucario

#

oh yeah btw zane

#

I figured out the optimal GTS Strat

#

you dont even need to hunt for shinies in this route

#

Mon > Mewtwo > Zacian > Okidogi > Galarian Moltres/Zapdos (Haven't tried Articuno) > either Urshifu or Koraidon > Gouging Fire or Koraidon > Gouging Fire

fading stratus
#

golden lance
#

I know but i have no tiiiiiiiiiime

#

I dont even know whats the deal with aerodactyl

fading stratus
#

aero is basically second fastest non mega in the format

pseudo goblet
#

Me and Choccy waiting for Bolt to join the no time club lol

fading stratus
#

and fastest tailwind setter

#

thats not a prankster user

#

also its like so well suited into meta

#

#

dual wingbeat vs sneasler venu

golden lance
#

Sigh

#

Can you join a vc on the weekend

pseudo goblet
#

I want to start taking teambuilding a little more seriously than just fucking around in za

fading stratus

pseudo goblet
#

Next time 😤

#

Btw, games best mega and only 8th place

fading stratus
#

Ye

#

It's because non mega mons are way better than mega

#

Also megas need specific teams

#

The non megas mons fit on teams more than just a specific mega

pseudo goblet
#

Enemy bascu and umbreon

#

Holy, Sucker one shot Bascu

#

Zard took forever to go in

#

Oh, they took forever and lost

fading stratus
#

You can take dnite in this MU

#

Because it resists water and fire moves

#

And also you can low kick ohko ttar

Basc is also good here

You hit like 3 of their mons for super effective

Oh righh aero and Kommo lead

Aero lives on 1 after two Sucker cheems

Welp, lost this one

#

#

Huh, maus and devil lead

#

Double protect first turn?? And not mega???

Okay now they do

#

How fast is Floette???

#

Is Floette just Dazzling Spam spam

Totally didnt forget low kick

They lasted 3 turns

sonic inlet
fading stratus

so makes sense

golden lance

@fading stratus did you see the damage roll thingy?

fading stratus
#

I didnt

golden lance
#

So instead of 16 rolls we have 15 now

fading stratus
#

oh so its 86% to 100%

golden lance
#

Yea

fading stratus
#

thats kinda neat ig

spice rivet
#

Went on a generational losing streak last night, dropped down to like 1850 points ☠️

#

Its finally time I make a new team cause I'm getting walled out by common stuff. Archaludon especially is the bane of my existance.

fading stratus
#

you know what to build around

#

this idk

spice rivet
#

Nah, Im proba going to be boring and build Mega Floette. Too many physical attackers rn

fading stratus
#

what secondary mega?

#

delphox?

#

delphox floette seems pretty great

#

because if you vs sneasler gengar you can just snipe it with mega delphox because its faster

spice rivet
#

Not sure yet, I'll have to think on it

fading stratus
#

I've seen people do like

#

chomp aero

#

ttar

#

phox

#

also frosslass

spice rivet
#

Like I just had so much dumb shit happen like this

fading stratus
#

LMAO

Missed a 1 HP Farig with Rick Slide and it got to set up a 2nd Trick Room with Mega Crab beside it and I lost

#

Missed T Wave on a Shell Smash Blastoise Mega

fading stratus
#

you just got crabbed

spice rivet
#

And so much Bo1 genuine garbage I'm still salty about it

#

Like the "Wheres the Choice Scarf" minigame makes me want to die

fading stratus
#

also there's like where's the sash minigame

#

and people are unironically playing bright powder shit

spice rivet
#

I did have some good moments however

#

People not knowing how Phantom Force works and staying in/protecting PauseChamp

fading stratus
#

man I so wish they import brambleghast in M-B

spice rivet
#

I think my fundamentals are good, but now I just need a better team + dealing with Bo1 cheese

fading stratus

yeah makes sense

btw yozz

spice rivet
#

Nah

#

No time

fading stratus
#

ah gotcha

pseudo goblet
#

Meep

Scarfed Hydreigon does solve a few of the issues I do have with Pult

fading stratus

Michaelderbeste is 7-1 with sand too but with a entirely different kinda team

they had a mirror in round 7 and joe ended up winning so his only loss is sand too

Is there a vod for it or anything?

what if you have 2 dozens bun

ashen barn
#

Oh, I have an idea

#

You know how Flareon is supposedly like a large water bottle of a mon, always warm?

#

What if you could market a plushie with water bottles inside its neck fur

icy heath
ashen barn
#

Wait, not water bottles. Would be difficult to set it up for the perfect hug and you could have breakdowns ruining the thing. I'd say instead several sacks filled with cherry pits. You heat them up, they release a nice aroma and stay warm for longer, and you can stuff them inside. Maybe fix 3/4 bags with zippers that aren't visible and don't take up too much space on the overall body (so that it's comfortable to hug)

#

Just imagine in winter, heating these up, stuffing the bags inside the flareon fur, getting a blanket and hugging the flareon plushie

||TPC should hire me tbh||

fading stratus
#

probably spoiler it maybe

warm sky
#

But what would you do if gamefreak made the trick room demon real clearly

fading stratus
#

you mean this

#

the mon that already exists

#

its unironically got better stat distribution because its bulkier too

#

and its ability means that 25 less atk doesnt matter

warm sky
pseudo goblet
#

dnite and toed, was hoping they lead with rain

#

Thunder Dnite???

#

Well, somehow evening the field, Sucker crit dnite at 1/3 health and Wave crash did 95% ko lucario

#

Also, Toed use encore on Basculegend, who already stuck on wave crash under rain

#

Close match peepoS

fading stratus
#

basc should always kill meganium at that

pseudo goblet
#

I also learn Bascu does a ton of damage to Toed

fading stratus
#

basc is the goat

pseudo goblet
#

Legend you mean clearly

fading stratus
#

yes

warm sky
#

Lmaoooo

pseudo goblet
#

What would it take, for Golurk to be a new icon of meta

fading stratus
#

man I've forgotten how cool zard x looks

#

I wanna play champions so bad now

#

just to play zard X

#

probs my fav mega

warm sky
#

Tbh zard x is much more of a singles monster

#

Than doubles

#

Belly Drum Zard X went crazy

fading stratus
#

in doubles you go like ddance flare blitz dragon claw protect

#

or support set with roost wisp

#

wolfey won a regionals with support zard x iirc

#

or he got top 16 in worlds with it

#

one of the two

sonic inlet
#

Is zardite x even in the game

#

I've never seen zard x in singles

fading stratus
#

Zard X is 8-0 currently in Victory Road Champions Tournament

#

which is pog

pseudo goblet
fading stratus
#

ye

#

ik that game

#

zard x teams desperately need kingambit or milotic

#

to beat incin

#

which is funny

pseudo goblet
#

Man I still miss that AMV of Pokemon Origin with Break Up from Digimon adventure 02 pensivecowboybread

#

Check* yup, still gone

fading stratus
#

pokemon origin was fun to watch

warm sky
fading stratus
#

idt you should belly drum in doubles

#

because zard X is one of those mega which you dont mega sometimes before setting up

#

if you belly drum you need to mega

#

also it doesnt give atk boost and loses half hp

#

swords dance flame charge better

#

ig in singles you can just switch

warm sky
#

Stealth Rock lol

fading stratus
#

oh yeah lmao

warm sky
#

It's why DD and SD are more popular

#

But I definitely have lost to belly drum sets

fading stratus
#

yeah makes sense

pseudo goblet
#

What was the move again, Court something

#

That move that lets you reverse enemies field effect back to themselves

warm sky
pseudo goblet
#

Yes, is it used in singles

fading stratus
#

yes

#

its a very good move

midnight spear
#

i don't play singles at all i play vgc

warm sky
pseudo goblet
fading stratus
#

cinderace is great yeah

pseudo goblet
#

last time I chec- oh really, heh

fading stratus
#

I think it was banned to ubers last gen

#

someone can fact check me

#

because libero pre nerf is like

#

insane ability

warm sky
#

Ubers in 8

#

OU in 9

midnight spear
pseudo goblet
#

something about lvling up StaRYU and learned psychic seem bit funny me

fading stratus
#

starmie is a funny mega

#

but it struggles from being a physical water type that dies to gambit sucker punch

#

when we already have basc

pseudo goblet
#

since I spoke, give what for psychic

Brine
Reflect Type
Minimize
Power Gem

#

this lil one stay as a staryu btw

#

@fading stratus

fading stratus
#

have you finalised your testing yet zane

pseudo goblet
#

gonna switch to garchomp

#

oh also

#

we sure about Icy wind for Bascu

#

not sure bout the idea of basc stuck in Icy wind

fading stratus
#

its upto you

#

your call

#

play whatever you like

#

I'm not the one playing

#

like how I'd play is obv different than how you;d plau

#

so use whatever feels more natural

#

chomp is probs better yeah

#

than dnite

#

and it has more matchup spreads

golden lance
#

I will not be able to attend next week's tournament

#

@fading stratus so like how good is iron boulder again?

fading stratus
#

it has a few top 16

#

its not like great

#

but in miraidon teams it sometimes fills a niche

#

if meta is suitable

#

so might as well get it

golden lance
#

I see

#

What about wake?

fading stratus
#

do get wake

#

you dont need leaves

#

but I've gotten it as well

#

but like I;ve gotten every legendary so

pseudo goblet
#

didn't Kleavor get a signature move, Stone axe or something, what was the accuracy dubismile

fading stratus
#

90 iirc

golden lance
#

I think i should get a ho oh while at it

pseudo goblet
#

gdi lol

golden lance
#

Regenerator good

fading stratus
#

last year the meta was suitable for ho-oh to do good

#

because it resisted both korai moves it resisted ice moves of CIR

#

also cleam was a nice buff to ho-oh

#

so ho-oh top 16'd worlds

#

it can be good yeah

pseudo goblet
#

oh yeah, guess I'll wait once Restricted starts again to see if they gave Ho Oh revival blessing blob3c

fading stratus
#

so might as well get it

golden lance
#

Should probably also get eleki huh

fading stratus
#

#

golden lance
#

pseudo goblet
golden lance
#

fading stratus
#

lets say I play a inperson tour or sth I'll just ask zane or yozz to give me legit mons

golden lance
#

I saw a bright powder mimikyu earlier

vagrant steppe
#

There's some stuff going on on ladder

#

Did y'all see the pain split Sableye thing

fading stratus
#

top 16 of the Victory Road Tournament

#

hard trick room being top of swiss is really funny

golden lance
#

i'm gonna need y'all to hear me out on this one

#

tiers are ordered

fading stratus
#

banned

hasty anchor
hasty anchor
#

Also Platinum D tier

golden lance
#

yea i feel that my main discrepancies with the common opinion is the order of the remakes

latent sleet
#

bw1 above bw2

golden lance
#

do feel that FRLG is the worst way to play kanto the more i think about it

latent sleet
#

mods i want this guy BANNED

golden lance
#

and 2 doesnt have enough QoL to keep up

#

not that 2 is bad, ftr

latent sleet
#

imo every other aspect felt better in bw2

#

at least from what i think

golden lance
#

i also respect immensily their decision to only allow unovan mons in 1

fading stratus
#

banned for frlg slander

golden lance
#

to the point where 2 going back while also not commiting enough to expanding the dex feels lame

golden lance
#

lets go's also wildly overhated, speaking of

golden lance
# golden lance tiers are ordered

the funniest part is that DLCs were considered, but the only thing they changed was making SV go to the bottom of B instead of the top of C icant

fading stratus
#

frlg is like best gen 1 experience wdym

#

lets go is just weird with the mechanic

golden lance
#

its unusual but i feel that it makes wild encounters more interesting than "mash A"

#

and the other QoL stuff is better than what FRLG offers

fading stratus
#

only bad thing about frlg is like phy spe split and not being able to evolve golbat

golden lance
#

abilities only comes up for static/poison point anyway and the game was not built around held items so you dont get any options unless you go out of your way to do so

#

and lets be fr who even likes the sevii islands?

fading stratus
#

you mean stuff like lefties black glasses band and stuff

#

or like idk intimidate

sonic inlet
#

I liked ZA way more than both XY and ScaVio tbh

#

And yeah I'd bump frlg a tier

hasty anchor
#

Also how dare you put Ruby/Sapphire in D Tier

#

Yeah, given Emerald exists, having it there is a given, but still, ouch

golden lance
#

for the casual playthru they might as well not be relevant

#

Also lets be fr intimidate pre split in the game everyone is bringing a FWGE core is icant

icy heath
#

watch Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 video
"it feels like they turn into a Spoink, and must jump or they die"

I know what he means, but this channel has never even mentioned any Pokemon whatsoever, so hearing a Spoink reference out of nowhere is wild

fading stratus
#

my man is building up arguments from air just to say frlg is bad

golden lance
#

I'm not even saying that they're bad i just think they're worse than the alternatives

fading stratus
#

bro intimidate is great against literally 2 gym leaders and a e4 at min

#

and its great against all of the giovanni fights in general

golden lance
#

And is intimidate more appealing than mega evolution?

fading stratus
#

its more appealing than the go style catching yes

fading stratus
#

@spice rivet the team did top 4 so he'll probs make a team report

magic thunder
#

@fading stratus new ||rock/psychic|| mon coming

#

so what broken ability does it have to not be a shitmon

fading stratus
#

fading stratus
#

bro there were 2 zard x in t8

#

wild stuff

magic thunder
#

btw

#

I swear

#

nerfed Dire Claw

#

hits more than it ever did in SV

fading stratus
magic thunder
#

Sneasler was being held back by it bro

#

he now went super sayan

fading stratus
#

seeds also held sneasler back

#

white herb was the goo all along

#

not that bitch ass psychic/grassy seed

golden lance
#

I mean genuinely tho

magic thunder
golden lance
#

You do end up doing more damage in the long run if you dont have to fear an intim

fading stratus
#

the zard x are kinda build with the tought of you getting intimidated

#

so they play milo/gambit

#

for the boost

#

and sneasler with coaching

magic thunder
#

ok so

#

btw

#

how much we giving them

golden lance
#

Wonder what the ttar is for tho

magic thunder
#

until they make some bullshit that makes ohkos good

golden lance
#

Just a zard Y hard counter?

magic thunder
#

that's actually useable

fading stratus
#

TTar is for the MUs where you dont take zard x yeah

magic thunder
#

(entrainment mega hawlucha isn't)

golden lance
#

It was called ting lu

fading stratus
#

also dozo

magic thunder
#

ting ma balls

#

yeah but you know what I mean

#

like something where they get to hit consistently

#

and they have to switch them to the ZA versions

golden lance
#

Highkey

magic thunder
#

ninja'd

#

I wanted to say highkey as a reply

#

😔

golden lance
#

I want frenzy plant/ hydro cannon/ blast burn/ hyper beam/ giga impact to skip the recharge if you get the kill

#

They almost work like that in za
