[DO NOT USE][ARCHIVED] SV OU Rates

[wanton root]

This should go in #comp-general

[winter steppe]

ah my bad, sorry

[fallow crag]

Honestly I could see you dropping slowking for tera water amoonguss

Should help with dnite if you're also clear smog

[sharp cairn]

What about zoroark, is it fine as is?

[autumn igloo]

Any advice I mainly play dou
https://pokepast.es/d44b58e3da40c9c2

[fallow crag]

Yeh I like it here

[sharp cairn]

Final question, do I need foul play on it?

[fallow crag]

nah

clear smog is better

[sharp cairn]

Awesome

So grass knot or giga drain?

[fallow crag]

giga

gknot is only useful for garg

but if you face garg it is 100% gonna tera

[sharp cairn]

True

[fallow crag]

you could also consider

tera fire on tusk with boots

but i think water should be fine

so you dont get super rained on

[sharp cairn]

Gotcha

Thanks man

[weary crypt]

https://pokepast.es/c252a312bed91bc9 idea is to spread webs and para then let slower gallade and pult outspeed to get kills

azu is the least important member i just kind of threw it on there

[rain gyro]

this looks fun but i'm no rater and i'm honestly pretty shit at this

peaked 1835 once in my life

but i'll test it on an alt

lmao

[subtle rose]

why fight shocks

[wanton root]

gambit

[subtle rose]

ur not that weak to gambit tbh

[wanton root]

idt anything here really wants to come into it otherwise

[subtle rose]

u can tera fairy and ep and still be perfectly fine

[wanton root]

does ep ohko

[subtle rose]

252 SpA Sandy Shocks Earth Power vs. 112 HP / 0 SpD Kingambit: 320-380 (86.7 - 102.9%) -- 18.8% chance to OHKO

[wanton root]

also it can just decide to be immune to ground

[subtle rose]

yea but

+2 iron head into tera fighting shocks still drops u

[wanton root]

wait what

[subtle rose]

+2 252+ Atk Kingambit Iron Head vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Tera Fighting Sandy Shocks: 303-357 (97.4 - 114.7%) -- 81.3% chance to OHKO

[wanton root]

💀

so why don't you think this is weak to gambit again

[subtle rose]

washer gives u copeable options vs it

and u can always catch it w a tera from dirge n such

[wanton root]

true

[ocean ledge]

Wash into dirge always beats gambit

[subtle rose]

n they tera fire

if they do that u have to use ting

[wanton root]

so just standard fairy shocks right

[subtle rose]

i think thats fine ye

[wanton root]

cool

also id really recommend trying modest

the speed drop is barely noticeable

is there anything else here that looks like it could be changed

[subtle rose]

nh looks ok

[wanton root]

thanks

[unreal plaza]

https://pokepast.es/dfeb5418755aaae4 how's this balance

[wanton root]

@daring violet

[daring violet]

this is a good team, I think it can work. i can see DD bax being an issue (tera ground for example) breaks through the whole team. I think in whatever case it might be best to run body press on corvi

[unreal plaza]

Any other changes

[daring violet]

no maybe rocky helmet on corvi

also sub skele might be better and just give pex lefties

[unreal plaza]

Whys that

[languid mirage]

Im not the most experienced on balance teams but meowscarada seems like a bit of a problem too, especially if its running thunder punch

[unreal plaza]

Meowscarada runs thunderpunch?

[languid mirage]

Overall nice team though :)

Sometimes

[unkempt hill]

nah youre fine

252 Atk Choice Band Protean Meowscarada Thunder Punch vs. 248 HP / 252+ Def Corviknight: 228-270 (57.1 - 67.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery

on the off chancce that its banded tpunch just go tinglu

after corv takes the hit

youll be fine

[languid mirage]

Ah fair

[daring violet]

i think cloak is a waste of a item tbh

on pex at least

on other mons i dont mind it like dengo

but dengo needs speed check here

[unreal plaza]

Should I run spike or ruination

[daring violet]

spike for your team

[unreal plaza]

https://pokepast.es/63d744f36b4535ab

So something like this

[daring violet]

yes exactly that

[winter steppe]

ill do it properly now

[ruby crest]

Make this Lefties gambit, specs val > hatt, cloak amoong > hzoro, defensive tusk > offensive, make this tera fairy washer

[winter steppe]

icic, thanks

[ruby crest]

Ngl volc may be a bit annoying so you can try cb bax > chomp

[winter steppe]

ill try that too

whats the cloak amoonguss set?

[ruby crest]

It’s the one on the analysis just with cloak as the time

[winter steppe]

Gotcha

[empty mantle]

Need help with fine tuning

https://pokepast.es/514656cebd11257f

[surreal bloom]

the average psyspam is eject hatt no?

[empty mantle]

Idk

I would rather not have my sweeper be forced to switch out

Especially since stored power is nice for unaware

[empty mantle]

Actually I should mention the team works fine except the last mon I’m struggling to find one that fits

[surreal bloom]

last mon could be anything on this really

I’ve seen tusk the most though

[empty mantle]

Any specific sets

[surreal bloom]

rocks

offensive

[cerulean marsh]

https://pokepast.es/7df4eeee204f2049
Screens hyper offense with zoroark h

[proven hare]

https://pokepast.es/c5f668eee7ad06ba
E Terrain

[rain gyro]

i have a very similar team

VERY similar

quaq (exact same)
hzoro (hyper voice over psychic)
kingambit (exact same, but why 0 atk IVs lmao)
volcarona (252 spa 4 spd 252 spe, fiery dance quiver dance bug buzz giga drain)
grimmsnarl (exact same)
glimmora (common rocks sash set)

i gotta say that if i were you, i would use calm mind valiant because it's screens

probably over psyshock OR thunderbolt, and then give it booster energy

but other than that this looks lit

also kingambit 0 atk is amog

(then again i'm not good at game but this is my mere opinion)

[dry edge]

Not very sure what is Psychic on Zoro suppose to hit

Also a bit odd to have Tera Normal without a Normal move

Maybe we can do Hyper Voice instead?

[dense bison]

im between iron moth and iron valiant for a frail sweeper

[agile lava]

what about dragapult?

[dense bison]

and pex, rotom, or slowking for a bulky water type

[agile lava]

it plays off well

w tinglu

[dense bison]

i considered dragapult too

but i dont like its dd set

[agile lava]

i think the sub hex set

works fine here

darts

[dense bison]

u dont think its redundant with skel?

[agile lava]

i dont ive used it a lot

hydreigon also works pretty well but then thet eams kinda slow

[dense bison]

what about for the water types

[agile lava]

pex is fine yea

type stacking is ok

in sv

the dex is small

and things do different shti

like ull see multple grounds on a same team too

[dense bison]

sv meta feels whack tbh but im committed

[agile lava]

agreed

[dense bison]

im so used to building around type coverage instead of utility role coverage

[agile lava]

its cuz back then

in like

gen8

[dense bison]

i skipped gen 8

[agile lava]

u could have as many roles as u need

or gen7

and still have a wide enough variety

to maximize coverage as well

but this gen is like ....

ull see a lot of type stack

[dry edge]

I like how triple dark

Is rather common

[gloomy bluff]

https://pokepast.es/8164cc29a283d1e3 here's a team I made a while back and its pretty successful on the ladder but I'd like some feedback on it

[subtle rose]

thats never a thing lol

[gloomy bluff]

@ruby crest

[proven hare]

@agile lava any comments?

[agile lava]

ngl i have no clue how to build e terrain

ask vertex if u see him on ps

[ruby crest]

No cap this is ass standard as you can get with it

[agile panther]

https://pokepast.es/b1fedc21b0d16c6d idk if this is good

[proven hare]

Ok, so any changes needed?

[ruby crest]

Outside of the fact you rely on leaves and worn from being demolished by grounds

Tho not much you can really change fwiw

[proven hare]

Yeah

Maybe Juglis over Gambit?

Gambit is solely there for checking Pult

[ruby crest]

I like gambit here

[proven hare]

Or Flying Gambit maybe

[ruby crest]

Na you want tera fire cause volc is annoying

[proven hare]

Actually now that you say it, Tusk with Knock and Fighting coverage does seems like an issue

[ruby crest]

Like I get you want to make the most of e terrain

You just leave yourself vulnerable to mighty tusk and chomp

Hell even a ting lu has a field day

[ruby crest]

This lowkey looks almost indentical to the cb bax sample tho with a Glimmora > ace and a random Mence >ting lu

[gloomy bluff]

Oh cool

[night zodiac]

https://pokepast.es/9f1bc292ad35e65d thoughts on this ho? I haven't exactly been sure what to add after ghold so I'm rather unsure on the last few slots

Mainly because I've been worried about Walking Wake as well as opposing Iron Valiant, and not having a ground immunity

[solemn gazelle]

new to this meta, made this screens team: https://pokepast.es/62363f67c66a32cf

[sly mauve]

?

[dry edge]

We can try Leftovers on Garganacl to help with the longevity. Curse > Earthquake and Tera Fairy/Water seems nice since it lets you contest physical setup sweepers that might overwhelm the team such as Roaring Moon, Dragonite, and SD Iron Valiant

Spikes > Toxic Spikes on Clodsire since the former are way more useful overall. Try Careful nature instead of Calm, since the latter reduces Earthquake's power.

Oh Gholdengo you can try Timid instead of Modest. The latter is slower than Timid Dragapult which can defo be annoying.

If going with a Black Glasses / Tera Dark Kingambit it might be wroth going max Speed instead of max HP to ease the mu against Skeledirge and Corviknight

In general work on the teras. Seems like all of them except Garganacl's are the base types. Have you tried any others?

For example you are rather weak to Volcarona, so something like Tera Fire Kingambit could help (in which case max HP works well)

[thin gorge]

https://pokepast.es/e527da51bde90fd6 Hi! I started some SV OU and I attempted to build a team around one of my favorite Pokemon Gallade. Are there any changes I can make to this team to improve it without removing Gallade?

[ionic crag]

https://pokepast.es/819411b9865fdea1 how do i improve this

[fallow garden]

would personally go for specs over scarf coz u alr get speed from proto

[ruby crest]

Make this specs wake with 244 spa, 12 filler, and max speed, go tera water and have dragon pulse for last, fix up hatts evs and moveset it should be psychic hwish dgleam, and go bu ceruledge instead of sash

[fallow crag]

Could also see a shout for phys def great tusk

[sly mauve]

I'm agreeing to litteraly all of this except changing garganacl's tera type

I should give my other mons Tera type too tho ye

I'm thinking like, electric for Valiant, fighting for goldengo, idk the reat

[dry edge]

Tera Ghost is fine yeah, also helps spinblock so thats nice

[sly mauve]

Backup spinblocker incase gholdengo dies

So thats neat

[dry edge]

Yeah its also way safer since it doesn't fear Earthquake

[sly mauve]

It only fears like
Iron jugulis idk
Alot of our darks are physical iirc

[dry edge]

You can do Tera Steel on Tusk. The reason I brought up a different tera on Garg was to better check Roaring Moon in particular since the team is a bit weak to it

[sly mauve]

Pretty sure my good ol benergy val can solve that dillema

[dry edge]

But with Steel Tusk it seems better, so we can keep Tera Ghost on Garg

[dry edge]

Yeah Electric on Valiant helps too since it resists Acro.

[sly mauve]

Maybe flying for king?

Or any fighting resist

[dry edge]

Remember Roaring Moon is naturally faster than Valiant, so it outspeeds Booster Energy after a Dragon Dance

Whatever tera is fine. I did mention Fire cause Volcarona seems scary

Fire is also immune to burns and since you resist Fire you are also able to go for bulk instead of Speed, since you dont fear Skeledirge as much

[sly mauve]

so which one, first you say invest speed on gambit then you revert

[rain gyro]

https://pokepast.es/1e42724c0b124f3f

[rain gyro]

Oh wait you're in the middle of smtg

Mb finish this one then move to mine LMAO

[dry edge]

I meant like

If you go a more offensive tera like Dark or Flying, then go max Speed since it helps vs Skeledirge and Corviknight.

If you decide on Tera Fire which helps vs Volcarona, then you can go for max Bulk instead since you dont fear Skeledirge

Up to you to decide

[surreal bloom]

why is there a random dozo

[sly mauve]

I never feared skeledirge

I'm mfing kingambit

[dry edge]

Seems rather weak to stall. Would do Psyshock > Tbolt on Valiant and work from there. Focus Blast > Aura Sphere is also nice since it threatens Corviknight way harder if you dont have tbolt

And yeah Dondozo is a bit of an odd choice there

[rain gyro]

Hmmmm

[dry edge]

Thats fine. Skele likes to tera and wisp slow Kingambits, thats how it beats them. But yeah you can make the call on that tera

[rain gyro]

I slapped dozo in on early states of the team lmao

[rain gyro]

Psyshock for what?

Just wondering

[dry edge]

Clodsire

Also hits Pex and Amoonguss

[sly mauve]

And uhh

Gholdengo

What's his Tera

[rain gyro]

Wait you're right

Hmmm

So psychic tera too?

[dry edge]

Think you mentioned Fighting on Gholdengo right? Thats fine

[rain gyro]

Because Electric tera with no tbolt is sus

[dry edge]

You can try tera fairy

On Valiant

[rain gyro]

Fair

And what do you rec instead of dono?

Dozo

[sly mauve]

Aw heck I forgot a Tera for clodsire

Probably fairy or water

[dry edge]

Or also Tera Steel

Just cause Steel is nice defensively

[sly mauve]

Tru

[dry edge]

Oh we getting mixed up, I was talking about Steel for Valiant lmao

[rain gyro]

I figured lol

Steel seems nice on a screens team

[dry edge]

Yeah. This set is pretty popular rn. Steel turns its weaknesses around.

[rain gyro]

Fair point

[dry edge]

Mmm not sure what Tera can be fine for Clodsire. All are fine tbh

Well not all rather, there are a lot like

Fairy is neat, it +Water Absorb completely takes on Walking Wake. Tera Dark resists Shadow Ball

Whatever you choose there should be fine

[rain gyro]

Setsu what's good over dozo btw

Idk im thinking dirge, volc, ghold i have too many ideas lmao

Azu too idk lmao

[sly mauve]

I meant for clodsire

Why does clodsire care about shadow ball

[dry edge]

Azu could work. A Fairy resist might also be nice given your team, or just smth that threatens Valiant. Maybe Volcarona?

[rain gyro]

i had volc in mind

[dry edge]

Yeah true I should have said Dark helps against Psychic moves but ya I haven't seen it much recently

[rain gyro]

honestly

if my opinion is worth something

tera clod does not exist lmao

but most people like to run tera ghost to stop spinners

in very rare cases

[past night]

Hey I don’t think I got a rating for my team that I posted a few weeks ago and would love some feedback

Currently stuck in the 1550’s, love the team but willing to substitute toxapex and Sandy Shocks if someone can think of a better alternative

https://pokepast.es/a80928b3ba6a0b91

Not the greatest example but heres how the team plays out

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9ou-1827592006

|| I swap out sucker for knock off sometimes for Meow ||

[fallow crag]

I feel like you need a defined wincon on the team

And while triple trick is funny, at a certain point you get diminishing returns on it

I'd just go for booster cm valiant

[night zodiac]

Did anyone have anything to say about this?

[past night]

Noted, moonblast, thunderbolt CM destiny bond?

[sly mauve]

Gimme a team

Post your team so I can copy it

[fallow crag]

Probably cm/moonblast/shadow ball/ taunt or tbolt

I like taunt a lot rn

[past night]

Taunt could be cool instead of trick

Kinda does the same thing of preventing set ups

[sly mauve]

Moonblast tbolt aura/psyshock cm

Aura for steels and psyshock for clodsire

[past night]

I’m gonna say no to that set

Clod isn’t an issue and aura is way to weak I’m pretty sure close combat is still stronger

Clod can be taken care of with Sandy Shock Meowska and corv and any trick

Thank you tho for the help

[sly mauve]

https://pokepast.es/150e08aa2ba571f2 how is this team?

[past night]

Very fat team

The slowking assault vest tho

Modest tho y?

[sly mauve]

Might change off of modest I I mostly did it for extra damage and I needed something that could take on WW sun that wasnt another fat wall like clod

[ionic crag]

Why tera water and dragon pulse over tera blast for wake, that particular moveset for hatt and bulk up ceruledge instead of sash

[sly mauve]

Well is it good or bad

[sly mauve]

Idk I'm not a rater, I'm just some bozo

[thin gorge]

https://pokepast.es/26e177910ccac3e4 can someone please rate my psychic terrain team? thanks

[ruby crest]

Tera water boosts it’s most powerful attack and be used defensively as well can you can also do tera dragon, dragon pulse alternative dragon stab move outside of draco, the moveset for hatt is more supportive you ain’t killing stuff and you want hwing to let something else in the team to get another chance, it’s up to preference but Bu edge last longer and overall more consistent wincon tho you can stay sash, let’s you play longer and not waste edge

[ionic crag]

by changing my wake set to specs and fixing the evs i am getting the benefits of specs and scarf right?

under harsh sunlight

[ruby crest]

Kinda yeah

You have the power of specs still

But you get speed boosted under sun

[sly mauve]

@ruby crest

[sly mauve]

How is this

[ionic crag]

For hatt I kind get the reason for hwish but why dgleam and psychic over psyshock and dkiss?

[ruby crest]

Fwiw hatt ain’t staying love enough you want a powerful psychic as well as spdef drop can be nice, and you ain’t staying healthy for much of the match that will make good use of dkiss

[ionic crag]

What about special walls that can exploit hatt?

[ruby crest]

There’s not much even then hatt ain’t really lasting long anyways maybe switch into a move it can take to make use of eject batt or dissuade some hazards and hwing

Your not using this thing to break but use of its supportive move pool for its Allie’s

[sly mauve]

Dang

[main surge]

https://pokepast.es/514b144a06ae4a59 how is my team?

[thin gorge]

can somebody pls rate my team?

[ionic crag]

So should I remove nuzzle or mystical fire for healing wish?

[main surge]

https://pokepast.es/514b144a06ae4a59 rate my team

[ruby crest]

Moveset should be nuzzle hwish psychic dgleam

[ionic crag]

So aside from the change in wake and hatt set is that really all that I can change?

[ruby crest]

Isn’t this just pinkacross’s team????

[ruby crest]

Send an updated version of the team

[ionic crag]

https://pokepast.es/c3ff505c237f9d72 here

[ruby crest]

https://pokepast.es/fb99b38fe7582a0c this is what it should be like fwiw

[ionic crag]

Why ice spinner on tusk?

[ruby crest]

its to hit dnite which can be annoying when not tera

[ionic crag]

Then I would lose a way to remove hazards

[ruby crest]

You have Torkoal

Your fine

[ionic crag]

Torkoal is weak to rocks and is too slow so might get ko’d before it spins

[subtle rose]

u dont need to reliably remove

rocks every single time

• u have a mbouncer

• ur running offense

[ionic crag]

What rocks setter are there where running rapid spin isn’t necessary

[subtle rose]

its not bc

bulky mons like ting and defensive chomp cant rock on hatt

and tusk even if it does a lot to hatt ejects it out and wake gets a kill or smth

and u can always setup ledge early before rocks eventually go up

[ionic crag]

And close combat plus Tera fighting on ceruledge to resist kingambit and reliably check it garg without tera?

[subtle rose]

cc is just good offensive stuff yeah

u smash gambit and ting that tries to ww u and stuff like that

[ruby crest]

ngl i prefer bu edge fwiw

[ionic crag]

Why bulk up

[subtle rose]

on sun its sd or none imo but

bu taunt is the better set in general

[ruby crest]

ye

tho this could also be lo volc...

[subtle rose]

yeah

i would do that

[ruby crest]

also if your concerned from hazards

ace works too

[subtle rose]

pussy mon but ok

[ionic crag]

Why

[subtle rose]

personal pref

[ionic crag]

Ok so I’ll test out my new team on ladder first then we’ll see what to do next

[ruby crest]

really the first given 5 are staples for sun last one is up to what you want to use, its all preference at the end of the day sun is sun not much you can do with it

[daring violet]

i like it maybe go tera electric on valiant to break bulky waters / corvi switchins, id go with a bulk up set for great tusk or CB if you're comfortable with it

[daring violet]

i feel like you just need a strong breaker and i like valiants use of speed so i think you still could use a 2nd option of an entry remover not hatt so i think its safe to ride with CB tusk as that

[daring violet]

id also go with SR on ting lu > ruination / whirlwind

[grizzled scarab]

Ive tried doing a team with 2 unaware mons https://pokepast.es/7e84e62905061aac although unsure if is possible

like 1 physical wall and a sp def wall ping back for when goin to rate

[empty mantle]

If you’re gonna run clod you need to run water absorb so you don’t instantly die to walking wake water moves

(Walking wake is a bitch)

[grizzled scarab]

oo

things changed alot sincei frist played

[empty mantle]

Also what’s with Tera bug on Ceruledge

[empty mantle]

Yeah walking wake not getting banned is shocking lol

[grizzled scarab]

bc flash fire absorbs fire weakness

and rock and flying arent that common

attackin types

• tera bug is good agaisnt great tusk sort of

since resists both of stabs

[empty mantle]

Anyways besides that corv apparently sucks hard this Gen so maybe run great tusk if you’re using it for hazard removal

[empty mantle]

Ohh ok valid

[empty mantle]

But this is wrong lol

[grizzled scarab]

tell me what flying and rock attackers are common

garg is purely defenisve

[empty mantle]

Roaring moons booster set

And coverage exist

[grizzled scarab]

what mons are running rn flying coverage

and rock

if is only roaming moon doesnt really sond that bad

[empty mantle]

Well ppl wanna ban roaring moon so idk but it’s only one issue lol

Lemme check

-corv can run brave bird
-garchomp can run stone edge
-glimmora can run power Gen
-roaring moon

That’s it actually so you can probably add a non corv steel type

Like gholdengo

Orthworm

Or kingambit

@grizzled scarab

[grizzled scarab]

i havee already gholdengo

[empty mantle]

Oh you already have all of that lmao

You can probably replace corv with great tusk then 3 steels is kinda overkill

Also probably run SD over bulk up more immediate power imo but it’s up to you

Yeah you’re team is actually fine then just replace corv with great tusk @grizzled scarab

[grizzled scarab]

alr then

i just tried using ublk up so it wont be frail physically

[empty mantle]

Makes sense

What’s the speed investment for them

I presume for walls

[grizzled scarab]

yea

outspeeding

some

also i think i can outspeed even corv

with this

[empty mantle]

Not a huge deal if it’s bulk up what’s it gonna do to you brave bird

But still I see why you have speed investment

[grizzled scarab]

more bulk better

[empty mantle]

Very cool “we have annilape at home” build

[grizzled scarab]

low budget annilhape

Unsure though what set would i run on great tusk

[empty mantle]

Definitely a rapid spin set

It’s really do whatever you want lol just use the set that works best with your team

[grizzled scarab]

ig ill go offensive

alhough a defensive would live more

[winter steppe]

https://pokepast.es/09d7385caabbab64
specs val + banded bax balance, already got some help on this earlier and its working quite well, in the 1500s now

I just feel like it would appreciate a strong water attacker

maybe im overthinking it, but if theres any general advice id like to hear it

that or fire coverage

[empty mantle]

OH

Slowking

[winter steppe]

hes more of a bulky pivot though

[empty mantle]

Granted you need spatk investment but it has great utility and pairs well with Bax

[winter steppe]

ill think on it

there

i added hatterene

[empty mantle]

Psyspam gaming

Anyways many issues

Do not the band

Hatterene using eject is fine but I prefer cm stored power

The indeedee set should run healing wish and terrain extender

Horo is fine but I would rather use a dark resist as your scarfer

And I recommend replacing aura sphere with destiny bomb

Bond

@sly mauve

Also I’m iffy on dragapult but I could see a bulky d dance set working thanks to its already godly speed stat

If you go sd go max speed and attack jolly

I'd go glaive rush + tera fairy on baxcalibur over ice shard, taunt + cm + booster Energy valiant

[proven hare]

Taunt over what?

[ruby crest]

He did just say ice shard

[proven hare]

Oh

Missed that

Actually Taunt over what

[ruby crest]

Tho I would do things differently

[proven hare]

Like?

[fallow crag]

Set is moonblast/shadow ball/taunt/cm

[ruby crest]

I agree with the Val but would also do tera grass giga volc, meow > Glimmora, and orthworm/ tusk > dnite also hdb on gambit

[proven hare]

Mind explaining all that?

[proven hare]

Thanks
Tera Ghost, right?

[ruby crest]

Meow is self explanatory gives you some knock support early on, good way to pressure off tusk and spikes I like it more as a lead mon these days then Glimmora, you don’t need wisp here on volc fwiw you aren’t that weak to things you would be using it to hit and the additional coverage helps it instead of being mono fire, boots on gambit gives it better longevity since you really won’t have something to remove hazards, tho fwiw the last one you can still keep dnite

[proven hare]

Thanks
So no Rocks then?

May be rough vs Corv and Rotom-W

[ruby crest]

Corv I wouldn’t be to concerned

I do agree with washer can be somewhat annoying

You can do sub pult for wash

[proven hare]

Over Dnite?

[ruby crest]

If you do want rocks there’s always orthworm

[ruby crest]

Ye

Either or is fine

You can def mess with both and see which one you prefer

[proven hare]

Sub, DD, Phantom, Darts

[ruby crest]

Ye

[proven hare]

Tera Dragon or Ghost?

And Lefties as item

[ruby crest]

Lefties I prefer tera dragon

You also play mind games against other gambits

[thin gorge]

hello, I started building a new team bcs my previous team wasnt my style. https://pokepast.es/9ebf8f528c710361 is there any ways i can improve this team? im thinking abt replacing volc with smth

[gleaming willow]

https://pokepast.es/2556befad2d546b2

Hyper offense team

I haven't played in like a year

Don't really know much about the meta

I do want to keep zoroark tho cause he's fun to use

[ruby crest]

I feel this team has an idea but also clashes in what it wants to do going different places

[thin gorge]

hm? I dont understand lmao sorry

[ruby crest]

Basically it seems somewhat out of the place like the chosen mons just don’t fit together

[ruby crest]

Anything you wanna keep in particular

[thin gorge]

probably just the pex

i like the idea

[ruby crest]

Hmm eject pex interesting

Just realized the changes I would’ve done are the same of that of a sample team…

[thin gorge]

what were they gonna be?

[ruby crest]

Make this bulky tusk, wisp volc, pult > cinderace, corv > hatt, gambit > moon, and make this spdef pex

[thin gorge]

oh alr

so wait what is the sp.def pex evs

and defensive bulky tusk or like av?

[ruby crest]

https://pokepast.es/4cbb800845970b84 literally just use this

[thin gorge]

ah

then is it possible to create a new team instead of using pex but that roaring moon set instead

[sly mauve]

I like you have a cupcake @thin gorge

[thin gorge]

oh lmao thx

[ruby crest]

I would restart tbh cause a lot of changes would be needed imo

[thin gorge]

ahh

ok

so what pokemon should i use on my team if i were to use that moon set

the jaw lock one

[ruby crest]

I don’t think jaw lock is good these days it’s use standard dd crunch acro quake or cb

[thin gorge]

oh

ok

if i wanted to build a team competent in the current meta, which mons do you think would be strong to start with

[ruby crest]

Rn I would say mons like pult, volc, gambit, iron val are good to start with

[thin gorge]

alr

[thin gorge]

for a sun team, is a team with torkoal, banded moon, wake, gastro, bulky tusk, and bulky volc okay?

something like this https://pokepast.es/6106b68a41869812

Depends on what archetype you want to build but id go

Walls
Corviknight
Ting lu
Skeledirge
Dondozo
Clodsire
Toxapex
Rotom wash
Phys def hatterene
Garganacl

Swords (take hits and dish them out)
Great tusk
Kingambit
Also skeledirge
Dragonite
Gholdengo
Walking wake
Quaquaval

Utility (not really damage dealers or great at taking hits but have great utility)
Orthworm
Iron treads
Glimmora
Due to typing torkoal

Spears (full on offense)
Iron valiant
Roaring moon
Dragapult
Hydreigon
Meowscarada

There are more but these are just examples of what I could think of on the top of my head.

[subtle rose]

bro just

listed some random terms

k

"swords and spears may kill my pokemon but THE PENGUINO will not"

[surreal bloom]

swords and spears

[unique rampart]

Had pretty solid results with this team so far. Anything I can do to improve it? https://pokepast.es/c032e9a0a1bb20a0

[ruby crest]

Sun these days should really be Torkoal, specs wake, cb moon, offensive tusk, hatt, and then filler tho since you have volc make this offensive lo volc tbh

[sly mauve]

team based on my violet team

[thin gorge]

i have gastro instead of hat rn

but ye ill try switching volc to offensive but i kinda like the wisp support against set up mons

[ruby crest]

Gastro is so random

[surreal bloom]

garg ptsd

[thin gorge]

lmao its to counter wake but like idk. so since i have defensive tusk shud i run defensive hatt or do you have another set in mind. i think ill make volc offense though

also if volc isnt good as a flex do you have a better flex in mind. i dont want this team to be an exact copy of another popular one so im being kinda aware of that

[ruby crest]

Gastro is not good on sun kills so much momentum

Volc is a good flex

If anything is one of the more common last mons on sun

[thin gorge]

do you have a hat set that would go good with a sun team like mine

also what moves and evs should i run on volc

[thin gorge]

https://pokepast.es/3de2799bf1b2ce38 this is what i changed my team to

i use gholdengo to counter faries like hat

[dry edge]

This looks fairly similar to the sample we have. Covert Cloak Gholdengo seems fair since it can help with Tera Garganacl and Iron Valiant that this team can struggle with

Try to play with the Walking Wake and Gholdengo teras

Like Fairy and Dragon are also alr on WW

The team is rather weak to Hydreigon so ya, Fairy on Walking Wake might be the move

This version is really slow though

You usually want either Walking Wake or Roaring moon to get Proto Speed

Dragapult can already be annoying and no Proto Speed makes it even more more so

[dense bison]

https://pokepast.es/34aa9fbe560931bd how would you improve on this? i haven't had more success with a team i made than a sample set yet lmfao

[dense bison]

i built like this for bulk and status spam

but i get no mileage off of entry hazards without knock off or a spinner

and most solutions i lose out on defensive coverage

[thin gorge]

oh ok

also i kinda struggle with tspikes

it really wears down my team

is there any way i can change my mons to have an easier time?

[surreal bloom]

corv at best lol

also go epack on hatt

[dry edge]

Probably not.

The hatt can be either leftis or eject button yeah, both are fine

Boots on Tusk could help with Tspikes

I dont really like boots defensive tusk, but you can try and see how it goes

[thin gorge]

ah

ok

how do i deal with wake

lol

[dry edge]

ya not much to do with wake other than pivot around it

[thin gorge]

ah ok

[dry edge]

Here is the sample team we have https://pokepast.es/316cc457fcdd65fa

so you pivot around with Hatt and your own WW

[royal nebula]

https://pokepast.es/debebb820e583624 This is basically my first attempt at building a competitive team, and i'm having some success in low ladder(won 7 matches out of 8 i played) The last mon was Dondozo with rest body press liquidation sleep talk and unaware tera grass heavy duty boots, but it was never doing much more than taking a few hits nobody else wanted business with but it never did much outside of pivoting, so i was thinking of adding something else, probably amoonguss. Any suggestions on who i should add, and if i should change something on the mons i already have?

I have decided to return OU from random battles fun, maybe try climb seriously and i've had some success in games i've played with this team (tried to return my roots on balanced playstyle)

But i feel like team is lacking something (maybe coverage or something else)

at end i also put some pokemons i've been thinking would be worth to consider adding in replacing some pokemons (like froslass with hisui zoroark or swapping someone out for spinner)

https://pokepast.es/ac296ef32764801a

[sly mauve]

use booster instead of scarf, val does not like only having 1 attack option at a time

[royal nebula]

I'll keep it in mind, altho i liked the idea of tricking scarf on some mons

[stone onyx]

not sure how i feel ab greninja; also worried about baxcalibur and clodsire

[thin gorge]

https://pokepast.es/5ecb6a8d28c69842 how do I improve this dragspam hyper offense

the problem is im struggling to get up many hazards because of the rate glimm is alive

[copper fable]

https://pokepast.es/e95f27f3815e21b0

You know what, I've put off getting this rated for too long.
I don't even remember making this team, I just woke up in a cold sweat one morning and it was in my builder.
okay but seriously is this idea even salvageable.

[agile lava]

the idea is salvageable for sure

but leaves is pretty bad

even replacing it w something like eject pex would go a long way

[earnest anvil]

add ting lu then

instead of glimm

can help with setup sweepers at full health by phazing them out

[copper fable]

what else besides Pex should I change?

[thin gorge]

ok done ty

https://pokepast.es/e749247ca4457ae0 this is my team after that. is there anyway i can fit in some another good special attacking sweeper without taking out an important breaking mon?

[viral sable]

New OU RMT @worn arrow, @ruby crest, @fallow crag, @agile lava, @daring violet, @dry edge, @green citrus, @severe shard. I won't notify you again for at least 6 hours.

[ruby crest]

Make this covert cloak dengo, modest pult, tbolt > aura sphere on iron Val, change the tera of ting lu to poison, replace corv with physdef tusk, and make Rotom physdef

[ruby crest]

This is unfortunately a sample moment there one to many unviable mons in here or mons that don’t work together that one or two changes won’t be enough to salvage it

[ruby crest]

Not sure why you would have a Beartic for donzo when you have an Amoonguss, tho fwiw extranseory > pulse on gren hitting pex and amoong goes a long a way for floatzel, and you can do something like spdef bu corv > beartic but bu corv reliefs a lot of pressure from amoong from checking meow, and you also improve your bax and clod mu

[ruby crest]

While I do like the concept of dragon spam I wouldn’t ideally want to run 4 dragons that’s just asking for a team to get steak rolled by iron valiant, replace roaring moon with volc, not sure if you even wanan go double hazards in screens since you have to waste valuable screen tunes or significantly weaken your ting lu which lowkey doesn’t fit on ho, so I would do booster energy rocks tusk instead

[thin gorge]

alr

im assuming full on offensive volc?

is there any specific volt moveset that goes best

also what does the booster tusk set look like

ive never seen it b4 lol

[ruby crest]

Offensive volc is just standard flame giga tera blast ground

[thin gorge]

alr

[ruby crest]

Actually na just make this lead meow instead of tusk no rocks yea

[thin gorge]

ok so spikes meow?

[ruby crest]

Yeah

[thin gorge]

https://pokepast.es/b457fcee959dfeab this is what ive got now does this look good?

[ruby crest]

What does the ev on dnite do?

[thin gorge]

idk lmao, im pretty sure it was bcs bulky dnite plus roost or smth idk what i was tryna do

should i get rid of it?

and swap it with smth like this

Dragonite @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Multiscale
Tera Type: Normal
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature

• Dragon Dance
• Extreme Speed
• Earthquake
• Roost

[ruby crest]

[thin gorge]

if i wanted to try out booster tusk, do you have a set for it?

[ruby crest]

Just booster energy duel stab knock spin/ ice spinner

[thin gorge]

ah and offensive evs?

[ruby crest]

Max attk max speed

[grand sandal]

Like changing froslass into hisui zoro, daschhund into torkoal and sylv into clodshire as example changes? I can change 3-4 mons (preferably keep tinkaton/meowscarada core if possible)

[proven hare]

https://pokepast.es/b05b819e78814360

@ruby crest

[ruby crest]

Well this is just the volc loading dice baxc ho with worm > volc and duel screen pult > h zoro

[ruby crest]

Tho I would go tera fire gambit here

[proven hare]

Zoro was why I made this team

[ruby crest]

No yeah you can keep it

It’s fine as it is like I said just make gambit tera fire

[thin gorge]

https://pokepast.es/d09def781a240213 any improvements for this team?

[stone onyx]

i have beartic for dozo bc it baits it in, amoongus forces it out; grass knot on the switch does 50 to dozo so it weakens it enough for floatzel to break

i also replaced gren w AV azu, to check bax i felt like a bulky variant would be nice with max hp; i didnt want to do belly drum for longevity and i didnt want to do cb because i already had floatzel as a banded mon

it also helps w psychic terrain ho because ice spinner + aqua jet helps a lot with that match up

https://pokepast.es/8b1085015a04dc6e

this is it now

[ruby crest]

Not sure how azu improves against psy terrain, Beatric is a mediocre Mon no matter what trying to lure a Mon that is already dying out, also fwiw rain is an offensive mu you are going to be weak to some stuff which you are better to cope and make better use of offensive mons like the gren was good if anything

[thin gorge]

what mons does the volc + dice bax and worm HO team have usually

[stone onyx]

true, thank you for the help

bu corv sounds interesting, i might try it

[ruby crest]

It’s a team from rmt staff in the rmt forums

u dont needcorv

as long as I can keep gengar I will change everything else

corv and rotmo do the same thing basically

so id drop corv for tusk

and then change moon to a pult

and spdef rotom

and u shud be fine

physical pult?

well if I get tusk ig I wouldn't need it

[ruby crest]

Ahh yes double rock

[sly mauve]

Haha I forgor

Who sets it better

Go Spikes on Ting Lu

Although you have no remover

https://pokepast.es/0b65ec676ba4fb23 now what

[ruby crest]

Give me a sec

Make this tera dragon bax eq > iron head, psyshock > aura on valiant, physdef rocks tusk, bulky tera fire gambit with lefties, and covert amoong > garg

[chilly zealot]

can you review this when you're done with bagel's?

Also I'm keeping the shades on kambit

Tera dragon baxc, psyshock not psycho cut on val, fix gambits evs, tera fairy on king, and tera water tusk also you can do 4 speed on tusk instead of spdef as 2 spins makes you faster then non boosted pults

I thought I clicked psyshock

Actually no, I'm gonna run a mono AV team

What are some good AV users?

[sly mauve]

Make a little Timmy team (no status moves, just like a young pokemon would do(

*player

[rough pecan]

Yeah

Fr fr

Trying to find some good AV users, though

And then just flooding my team with them

[sly mauve]

"Fix gambit evs" to????

[ruby crest]

The one on analysis

[rough pecan]

Again, I'm trying to find 6 good AV users

[chilly zealot]

https://pokepast.es/bb19140be0da0fd1
What’s the exact set I should be using on Pex?

I prefer Arma as a Win Condition Stored Power sweeper, but I’m taking your word for pex

[ruby crest]

Surf > pump max hp max spdef

[chilly zealot]

so i do surf/haze/toxic/recover?

is tspikes better than toxic? or should i use bunker

[ruby crest]

I like toxic tho you also can mess with tspikes if you like i

[muted dirge]

https://pokepast.es/f5f6a7be8258da23 rate?? please and thank you

[ocean ledge]

run tera fairy on clod so you can check wake on your own

[muted dirge]

244 SpA Choice Specs Walking Wake Draco Meteor vs. 248 HP / 252+ SpD Clodsire: 222-262 (47.9 - 56.5%) -- 89.1% chance to 2HKO
Possible damage amounts: (222, 225, 228, 231, 232, 235, 238, 241, 243, 246, 249, 252, 253, 256, 259, 262) aah I see, I thought draco meteor would be Like around a 3-4hkoish type of range

https://pokepast.es/d6316c52e35f5033 so Something like this

[ocean ledge]

this isnt even accounting the proto boost

[dry edge]

You can try Bulk Up > Stealth Rock on Tusk, since you already have Rocks on Clodsire and Dragonite seems rather annoying to deal with

[agile lava]

why is there a clodsire

just use

hatt > clod

and tera steel roaring moon

and wisp cinderace

over court change

and use 200 def 56 speed on tusk

200+ def

whats eq for on moon?

[dry edge]

Hey. Defo Wide Lens > Life Orb on Maushold. The accuracy is pretty bad without them. Another Pokemon over Corviknight for sure, Corvi doesn't fit particularly well here

Maybe a Calm Mind Iron Valiant to help against fatter structures(?)

The Volcarona is fine. I would rather go for the other popular spread on defensive which is 248 HP / 108 Def / 152 Spe

Or ig it depends. What are you tyring to do with your spread? Iirc it lets you outspeed Roaring Moon and Cinderace at +1

But with your moves thats not particularly useful. Flamethrower and Giga Drain wont do much too them at +1

[edgy bluff]

calm mind valiant with moonblast psyshock calm mind and ???

psyshock for clodsire

[edgy bluff]

should i swap out maushold for defensive dondozo i’m noticing now this team can take some damage from great tusk and some other mons

[ruby crest]

Dondonzo is just random and a momentum sink in ho

[dry edge]

Focus Blast or Taunt are both fine

[edgy bluff]

focus miss but alright

[dry edge]

Its fine like that dw. Defensive mons in general like Corvi and Dondozo dont fit very well here

[edgy bluff]

alright

[dry edge]

Ya you can try Taunt nw, both are fine

Taunt + Moonblast + Psyshock with Tera Flying is like, extremely good vs fat teams

With Focus Blast smth else like Tera Steel is cool too

[edgy bluff]

oh yeah i can definitely see that

alright i’ll try with focus blast for now

thanks

[dry edge]

gl^^

[grand sandal]

i made complete overhaul for team so how does this look https://pokepast.es/1b0470fc04502cef ?

[languid mirage]

i think its pretty weak to psyspam, especially as 5/6 of your members lose to armarouge

i think you could swap out iron moth for a different pokemon

maybe something like DD dragonite?

or you could make meow sash so u live a hit then revenge

[sly mauve]

Never in my life have I ever seen screens iron Valiant

[languid mirage]

lmao

honestly neither have i

but i feel like i hadnt seen screens pult until not too long ago either

who knows

pult pivots though so it works

[sly mauve]

Yeah screens pult works

But screens valiant? Nah

Valiant just kills shit and chews bubblegum

[dusty sonnet]

just made this team and it turns out palafin is banned, what should i replace it with? also if you guys got any other critism

[languid mirage]

well it looks like a rain team, so a strong staple that i recommend is floatzel

otherwise your team isnt really benifiting from the weather effect

is this for singles by the way?

you dont need protect on every mon

[dusty sonnet]

Its for doubles

[muted dirge]

Wake counter ig

[real willow]

Is this for doubles ou or vgc?

#1059655497587888158 #1059704283072831499

[fallow crag]

Theres actually a doubles rating channel I'd suggest you use then

This channel is for singles

[dusty sonnet]

Ohhh, im stupid I thought this was doubles

[muted dirge]

I know im kinda late but what does 56 speed tusk do? i'm sorry

[thin gorge]

https://pokepast.es/e9560e4ef300e5af Can someone please help me complete the rest of this team? Also, is there a way I can keep noivern and still have an OU competent team?

New OU RMT @worn arrow, @ruby crest, @fallow crag, @agile lava, @daring violet, @dry edge, @green citrus, @severe shard. I won't notify you again for at least 6 hours.

[agile lava]

i don’t think so

noivern is pretty garbage

[agile lava]

no need to apologize bro

it outspeeds max speed chomp at +1

[thin gorge]

ah ok

[agile lava]

dragapult could be good here if ur interested

[thin gorge]

what pokemon should I include on a team with slowking and tusk core

[thin gorge]

alr

[agile lava]

cinderace is a good pick, but not choice scarf

boots is much better

[thin gorge]

ok

got it

[thin gorge]

so rn i have tusk ace and king down

[agile lava]

tusk ace king pult + ghost resist + ground resist

and ur good

wellu dont even need

a ground resist

could do a lot

[thin gorge]

ok

what set should i run on pult?

wisphex?

and for the ghost resist is kingambit a good choice?

or meowscaradas

bcs it functions as a ground and ghost resist

in one

[agile lava]

wisp hex and gambit is good

[sly mauve]

Sup KD

[thin gorge]

alr, now for the last mon, which is the most recommended? if there is any

[agile lava]

i think red card amoonguss might be nice here

to help u vs ho

[thin gorge]

ooo ok

im going to run defensive amoonguss

[sly mauve]

Sup KD

[thin gorge]

https://pokepast.es/07329ffd3a5b9fb3 This is what I ended up with. Are there any evs, teras, or pokemon I need to change?

[agile lava]

looks good to me

might as well go

max speed kingambit for

unless 60 evs is something specific

[thin gorge]

alr

done

[agile lava]

also use

80 atk

on pult

rest in spatk

and 56 speed tusk

200+ defence

[thin gorge]

ok

[thin gorge]

wait so which 252 speed 80 attack rest in sp.atk for pult?

[agile lava]

[thin gorge]

[thin gorge]

alr ty

[hoary heart]

https://pokepast.es/59412c044300b86f
figured I'd have one of my own teams rated never done this before

wanted to build with Specs Pelipper and have double hazard control to support it

Kingambit and Dragonite are just sweepers after Peli weakens everything, works out pretty well since Peli comes in on all 3 Unaware mons and can threaten a KO on pretty much anything in the tier

[green citrus]

Dont u want to maybe do rocks tusk

Major threats i can think of to this are dd bax and subwisp pult

[hoary heart]

pult is a threat to every team 😭

yea i forgor sr

[muted dirge]

Oh okay

[green citrus]

Ye for sure

I do think dnite can be dropped for smth tho

[hoary heart]

Ya maybe

I had sd water valiant but

It just wasn’t being that guy

Dnite at least gives a ground immunity

[proven hare]

Idk about you but whenever I run a pelipper without a rain abuser, I feel that I am making my team worse

Coz rain abusers are so good

Speed and power both

[hoary heart]

well im not damp rock

and peli has been amazing by itself

[proven hare]

If it works for you

Cool

I just find swift swimmers to be so strong

That I never want to leave them out

That being said

Specs Peli is always underrated

[surreal bloom]

cooly

just pex looks weird here

[hoary heart]

need tspikes absorber :(

had amoonguss and it was very bad

[thin gorge]

what pokemon would be good on a team with gholdengo, tusk, pex, gambit, valiant bcs im currently looking for the last slot rn

btw my valiant is a phys set, so i only have one special attacker. thinking of a pokemon that uses specs for the last slot

[fallow crag]

Hey, please submit rates in pokepaste form

[fallow crag]

Also, sorry for this, we only rate teams that are completed (says so in the rules). If you want help completing an unfinished team, I'd head over to #comp-general

But I can tell you right now that that pex ain't it

[thin gorge]

ok alr

[thin gorge]

https://pokepast.es/3ac604757c4367fc is there anything I can do to improve this team?

[dry edge]

These are the 6 from a very popular team rn right? You can check the version we have in room samples

https://pokepast.es/599b76acc0f1d16c

Fwiw worth version is also fine. Would rather run Substitute on Hydra instead of Draco or Dark Pulse.

From there just tweaks like, you dont need max Speed on Scream Tail. SpDef Dondozo might be better to not get overwhelmed by special attackers

But ya when recreating a team better to ask for advice in #comp-general, since a rule of the RMT channel is to only ask for rates of your own teams

[thin gorge]

i actually saw these team from a spl replay and i wanted to kinda remake that team. but i didnt know that paste existed. where do i find those pastes?

[dry edge]

This is a sample in the ou room on PS. You can type in /rfaq s

[thin gorge]

ohh ok

[dry edge]

I believe they haven't been updated in forums, but should be later on

[thin gorge]

ye i didnt know if the forums were updated with wake's release

[timber sonnet]

[muted dirge]

Umm just for future references, Goodra isn’t viable in SVOU and it’s probably best if you use a sample team

[fringe grove]

or change

[shadow tapir]

Don't rate,but wtf are you going for?

[ruby crest]

This is lowkey a sample moment there’s a bunch of different mons here that are either not good or don’t work with each other

[fringe grove]

sorry
