[fresh flicker]

That's no issue for Fari

Psychic Noise removes the options of Pollen Puff and Drain Punch respectively

So Fari shuts down one of their options

[strong zealot]

sleep powder was the issue mostly but now that i think of it i can just bring rillaboom in the back for it

[fresh flicker]

Or just use Safety goggles- -_-

[strong zealot]

yeah your right talonflame is the weakest one and honestly hasnt done that much in matches (other than 1 funny feint)

[strong zealot]

amoongus is anoying enough to use them but not that common enough lately to use it

but yeah its mostly a skill issue on my part i am gonna bring back the giraffe

[fresh flicker]

One thing I will say

Give as much respect to the mushroom as possible

also thanks for the giff build

https://pokepast.es/900fb24dd368d2a6

This is a dumb team but it's still really fun.

[fresh flicker]

The team is lacking in many areas and isn't viable at all

Other then incin and maybe etern

And for the pokes you have on your team, there are better options then this.

I'd recommend changing this team from scratch

[vocal snow]

Understandable.

.... Not doin that but thanks for the advice.

[random wagon]

yeah the team isnt great, i suggest using a sample team instead to learn the meta (if you are a new player), then you can build

[brazen flicker]

this is my fast psyspam team, im struggling to find a good last pokemon, idk, something just doesn't feel right with milotic, i just never see a need to bring it, is there another last pokemon i could bring?

also i forgot, this screenshot is just a bit old, I changed my krookodile to have moxie instead of intimidate.

yet again, this could just be me playing badly, im just asking to see

[distant patio]

Armarouge with expanding force is pretty good for psyspam

[brazen flicker]

but im using delphox, thats what this team is featuring

[random wagon]

no offense to you but pretty much the whole team is unviable. Indeedee-F is a good pokemon right now but the set your using is not great, eapecially when jn conjunction with your EVs. The meows is almost fine, but always prefers play rough, sucker punch or triple axel instead of thunder kick. But delphox, ribombee, and krookodile all suck. Milotic has a niche but the set doesnt prove what milo can do. Id say scrap the team. In the oast this regulation, fast psyspam worked due to great threats such as iron crown and calyrex-s, as they are both fast and strong (although iron crown needs booster). They also had Tailwind, something your team lacks. Fast psyspam just doesnt have many great absuers, and slower psyspam is pretty much always better in reg h

[random wagon]

id say just scrap it unfortunately, as most of the team is unviable; grafaiai, swampert, and appletun. Slaking is slighty viable but the set is completely out of line. Indeedee-F and Palafin a good right now, just not the sets. I suggest asking around for a solid team to use before building, as this allows you to learn the game and the meta

Sure i can check it out

https://pokepast.es/0aa5141a2b36384a

i slap this together shitfaced

do yall think its good or nah ??

[floral mantle]

I dont think rock slide archaludon is good

Maybe Flash cannon is better

[royal raven]

shiii you right

[floral mantle]

And i dont think those 4 evs in atk in the blastoise are good

Like, its just for the fake out

Maybe putting those 4 in defense or S.Defense

You re missing some evs in archaludon

[royal raven]

like i said im shitfaced

[floral mantle]

Maybe covert cloak is better than meadow plate

But idk

[floral mantle]

Yeah

[royal raven]

doesnt grass resist like spore

[floral mantle]

Yes

Why?

[royal raven]

oh shit

i thougt t wave was a spore move for some reason

[floral mantle]

Lol

I see

Thats why hex

And not Shadow ball

[royal raven]

because funnyyyy

[floral mantle]

Yeah

[random wagon]

Tbh its not good

P much all the sets are bad or the pokemon are bad. Its OK to use one niche pokemon on a team, but two is a bit of a stretch (the pokemon in question being blastoise and alcremie).

the only sets that are almost good are incineroar and archaludon, but the EVs are butchered and Rock Slide? Really?

id say give the axe to sinistcha and blastoise. On top of that, i think pelipper would be better here over polioted

Sinistcha can be farigiraf, while blastoise can be slotted out for ursaluna-bm or basculegion.

Honestly you want both, so removing alcremie is an option

[pliant forge]

Since they're my favorite, i'll give a quick shout out to decorate smeragle

if you're hell bent on having decorate on your team

[random wagon]

the restricted pokemon in wuestion here is near unviable, but ig you can try and make it work.

EQ is really unreliable due to it hitting your partner while also getting weakned in grassy terrain, and rillaboom is really common.

EQ should be changed to psychic fangs OR Tera Water+Tera Blast as a nice water type attack. A more defensive EV spread would also be better here.

Taunt on lando is unnecessary IMO, change for protect and run tera poison but you can keep the tera if you want.

no need to run a defensive tera and ev spread on a focus sash pokemon, i recommend running tera ghost (blocks fake out) and max speed max special attack with a timid nature (4 in HP).

incineroar needs a EV fix tbh, run safety goggles as well. Protect can be swapped out for Will-o-Wisp, and you can run Tera Ghost on top of that.

tbh you dont need ogerpon-h, id suggest swapping it for choice scarf urshifu-r, but with one change: ice spinner over aqua jet. This allows for a better miraidon and psyspam MU.

Finally is amoonguss, and for this you want sitrus berry and a EV spread alteration. The most popular spread runs both 236 in HP and Defense, which survives glacial lance from calyrex-ice. The rest of the EVs can go into SpDef, with a bold nature on top of that (please correct me if im wrong on the evs)

[warped citrus]

@random wagon ogeropon is here to combo with NDM(necrozma dusk main) to use follow me while it uses swords dance and also i am using NDM because it's one of my favorite pokemon and also what's EQ

[random wagon]

EQ=Earthquake
You have redirection in the form of Rage Powder on Amoonguss. Ogerpon-H just felt a bit forced tbh; the team really appreciates rain and having a fire and grass type already js just stacking weaknesses.

[warped citrus]

Well you all right i always use rain dance and earthquake was for pokemon that resist it and because landers and torn don't take damage form it but thanks for your help have a good day😁

[warped citrus]

I didn't know that earthquake was weakened in grassy tarrin

[warped citrus]

The rage powder also helps because i don't bring ogrbon to every game and to also protect tornades because of that when i send NDM it's most likely to be in the red or dead.

[random wagon]

well NDM is decently bulky, and tbh you just stated the obvious; that’s the role of redirection

[warped citrus]

And spore when i face thoughs Ursula teams 😷

Ya but you are right

[warped citrus]

And also healing it with pulln puff even though sludge bomb was better vs rillaboom but i choose it for healing

Rate the team out of ten please and thanks😁
And also thanks for your help

[random wagon]

i’ll give the original varaint a 5.5/10:
The idea was there, but not executed in great fashion. The idea in question is support to powerful offensive restricted.

The edited version I’ll give a 7/10, things were edited snd replaced, only problem is that the restricted Pokemon sucks, not even on the VR.

The rate my team also doesnt literally mean rate my team out of 10, but help me fix it. Just putting that out there for future reference

Hello, i made this basic Sand team for Regulation H, its good?
https://pokepast.es/ca923d9d25cd4fe8

[humble raven]

https://pokepast.es/8eefada31151c73c

this is my reg h team its based around trick room

[warped citrus]

Hello i am not a very good player so take what I say with a grain of salt you could switch Primarina the for Farigiraf as it can do the same thing but better and it can also use hyper voice and trick room for maybe double trick room option and you could learn how to use it from wolfeyvGC video when he won charlt https://youtu.be/rYjx35QjfZ8?si=1YUZdpGOJ2LKJzjr

I will continue look through the team but remember not all i say might be good because i am not the best

[warped citrus]

I would recommend to change Mimikyu tera type to something that resists ghost for any calyrex shadows maybe normal or poison or fairy and i would recommend taking away trick room for a fairy move you don't need two trick room and if your going to go with Farigiraf that would be 3

[warped citrus]

I would recommend gyro ball on Bronzong instead of helping hand for fairys and if you want a helping hand put it on Farigiraf if you will use it and it's move set would be hyper voice helping hand trick room and protect with Throat Spray

[warped citrus]

And well i think that Incineroar and Rillaboom moves are good the Ives could be better but you will need someone else to help you with that and Ursula is good as i said the Ives could be better but you will need to ask someone else

This was Adam with you hope you have a good day😁
And remember i could be worng but i am giving you my opinion and remember i am not the best pokemon player But i do have the world champ difference baby

Water could be a better trea then Steel

[vocal pagoda]

Probably yeah

[humble raven]

primarina is for haze and its hyper boice becomes water type

[warped citrus]

Primarina should change to Farigiraf you have a whole essay you could read why on up top

[warped citrus]

👍

[warped citrus]

You should have protect instead of knock of for fire types if it's the start of the match and you don't want to waste you tera

For Rillaboom

[warped citrus]

In ivs you should ask a professional because i can't help you with that

[warped citrus]

And you don't really need tail wind on talnflame because it doesn't have prankster on it you could run a coverage move on it instead or use another or better pokemon

[vocal pagoda]

Mate

Talonflame

Has gale wings

????????

[warped citrus]

Mate did you forget that it got nerfed harddddd

[vocal pagoda]

It’s one of the best tailwind setters in the format rn

[warped citrus]

Ooooo i got confused

[past harbor]

I guess talonflame works but I suggest Tera ghost

[warped citrus]

I thought it was another ability sorry

[past harbor]

It blocks fake out from breaking gale wings even tho you are immune to the flinch

[warped citrus]

I told i not really right all the time sorry that i forgot and got confused😅

Ok i am going offline😴

[vocal pagoda]

Couldn’t I just protect on that turn if I’m expecting fake out, and then set up tw next turn?

Ah, but then what would be the point of the cloak if I just protect every fake out

Hmm

[warped citrus]

If you are facing a fake out pokemon and you don't have it you should always double protect to protect form fake outs

That's what i do personal opinion

[humble raven]

that would ruin the fire water grass core i have created and if i do i have 0 counters to dozo teams

[warped citrus]

Ok

[warped citrus]

I play reg g doubles best of 3 so i don't have much info on reg h doubles and i also didn't think that dondosu is still meta

Dozo is a water type?

[humble raven]

also this is for reg h not g

[humble raven]

yes

[warped citrus]

I know that's what i am saying

[humble raven]

having one tr mon isnt reliable to set up trick toom

[warped citrus]

You could use Rillaboom

[humble raven]

yeah after i hase

haze

[warped citrus]

Ya i used a trick room before

[warped citrus]

Ok so now i understand your strat

[hot lance]

Can I get another set of eyes on my T-tar based team please? https://pokepast.es/a5ceb2e36ea18c8c

[random wagon]

this is actually a really solid team, but here are my suggestions:

Rillaboom —> Amoonguss
This, although weakening your Psyspam matchup, will help by redirecting attacks and nullifying threats that could stop Kommo-o from setting up.

while i dont think using both ttar and harcanine is great, i see the vision. I suggest looking into other options, but you can keep it if you want.

Tera Fire should be changed to Tera Dark or Tera Water for Whimsicott, and since Light Screen isnt as valuable anymore (no csr, mirai, etc), i suggest dropping it for Taunt or Protect. Overall a solid team.

[random wagon]

yeah no, id say scrap that team.

reshi and garticuno are completely unviable, while the rest of the pokemon sets are really odd

[warped citrus]

Ya i know i am making a team every day

I have made 17 team until now

[random wagon]

this team is also very quirky, as majority of the sets either have odd moves, items, or EVs. The only thing that is actually solid here is the gyarados, though incineroar just need some incineroar alterations

[warped citrus]

But i thought it had potential

[random wagon]

reshiram in general needs sun

like reshi+sunny day whims+flutter works ig

but reshiram has seen next to no success throughout regulation g

[warped citrus]

O ya your right my brain didn't work when i was making it it seems

I did some extra things to the team https://pokepast.es/2b6b7a7f8d580e61 changed it a little but this was the NDM team not the team that i just sent sorry if i am asking for multiple teams

[pallid violet]

https://pokepast.es/70843a3220c22216

This is the first one i made any changes?

[stray niche]

The pokemon you are running are actually quite good though I would recommend you take Dex spreads and sets.

[pallid violet]

I see

[stray niche]

Go on Google and search up the smogon strategy Dex for scarlet and violet

Search through the vgc formats and you should find spreads and sets for almost all of your mons

For primarina the Dex set would most likely be hyper voice moonblast haze and protect with the item you are currently using. 252hp and 252spa with 4def seems like a decent spread for now.

[pallid violet]

Ok

[vocal pagoda]

I don’t think there are precise spreads for reg h yet

[stray niche]

Ik there aren't but old format spreads should do

I'm on the qc team for vgc so hopefully we get those out soon

[vocal pagoda]

I made a good team I think For Reg H

https://pokepast.es/8f2fc6919f9e05f4

I feel like steel type for Electross would be better but idk what yall think

I honestly feel like Primarina is slept on its such a good Mon with its ability

And throat spray

And you can't have a team without the goat incineroar

https://tenor.com/view/incineroar-default-dance-jerb-q-gif-24304326

[pliant forge]

I think this could really benefit with either a tera grass on one of your mons, safety goggles on another, and the lack of protect makes me scared for you

although I understand running no protect on most mons, sometimes I just want to go hyper offense and dont want to drop good moves to make room for protect

maybe even putting taunt on one mon could help with sleep and overall is good for control, but yeah as someone who just got owned by a jumpluff that hit all their sleep powders and who didnt bring a grass/saftey goggles mon I was very salty

[random wagon]

the team is OK, but you just get demolished by ursaluna

some of the pokemon would also like TR

you can adopt the tailroom archetype, dropping glim for probably offensive farig and dropping amoonguss for a powerful water or rillaboom to hit hard into the aforementioned ursaluna

[copper pumice]

I have before lol i want to add rillaboom but who to replace?

[random wagon]

but other things:
Whims —> tera ghost
Fake Tears —> Encore
Whims —> 252 SpAtk/252 Spe Timid 4 HP

[copper pumice]

Omg i love perish trap sm

[ornate cloak]

Fr

Rate it

[copper pumice]

I dont have enough experience to rate anything lol

[ornate cloak]

[random wagon]

use TW into slower teams without TR and use TR into teams that use TW or opposing TR teams

[copper pumice]

Makes sense

[copper pumice]

Got farig build?

[random wagon]

for a offensive set something like a throat spray set with tr, psychic/psychic noise, hyper voice and protect/hh with tera water/grass

sorry for the late replys tho

[copper pumice]

Youre good

[random wagon]

some other things to note
Goggles gambit is just mid, i recommend black glasses
While tera fairy works, tera dark in conjunction black glasses nukes stuff
No need for tbolt, recommend protect over that. Also, on kingambit, you can run protect over iron head if you want.

[random wagon]

you dont have a great way to deal with archaludon aside from perish song, i do recommend going tera grass and moonblast over tera fire and tera blast on prim to deal decent dmg to arch

also not running make it rain on gholdengo is interesting indeed, although i think it is mandatory, so dropping gleam would be nice here

gothitelle is wasting evs too, 4 defense can go somewhere else

actually scrap that, move it to spdef

almost didnt notice but 112 on prim doesnt work, move 4

actually no, remove 4 speed and add to 112

[ornate cloak]

Alr

[ornate cloak]

Gleam is meant for Ape and Gambit

And Hydreigon

[random wagon]

Moonblast hits ape and hydreigon

gambit you do struggle with tho

hhp on rilla can help

[ornate cloak]

Both of them run Tera fire

[random wagon]

hyper voice then threatens them

[ornate cloak]

And Ape can run away with the game turn 1 if I get the tera predict wrong

[ornate cloak]

Yeah but then it boosts Ragefist outspeeds Prim and OHKOs

Especially if it's boosted

And +1 Hyper Voice doesn't 1v1 Ape

[random wagon]

still doesnt really justify dazzling gleam ghold

as you said they use tera fire

[ornate cloak]

Gambit

[random wagon]

Dglean still isnt doing much tbh

now that i think about it, you can try archaludon over gholdengo

[ornate cloak]

Tera fairy Dgleam 2HKOs

[random wagon]

that forces you to sink tera to remove 1 pokemon

[ornate cloak]

But then I have no real way of beating Ape and Gambit

[ornate cloak]

Tera fairy is valuable tho, I can use Ape/Gambit as setup fodder

[random wagon]

arch beats gambit, and with the correct tera option (fairy) and EVs, it can beat annihilape. Not to mention Tera Fairy helps you into other pokemon such as dpult, hydreigon, and even opposing Archaludon

[ornate cloak]

Also, this is more of a skill issue on my part, but I'm terrible at using Archaludon, and it won't even be able to use AV

[random wagon]

you can then run miracle seed rilla

[ornate cloak]

Rilla takes AV tho

[ornate cloak]

I mean, the whole point here is to stay alive

[random wagon]

with tera grass too

[random wagon]

rilla has respectable bulk outside of AV tho

[ornate cloak]

And Rillaboom needs AV so that I can keep up surge for as many turns as possible

[random wagon]

do you really need surge tho?

[ornate cloak]

I mean I've tried offensive Rillaboom, it js didn't work well

[ornate cloak]

For recovery, yeah

[random wagon]

aside from the psyspam MU

[ornate cloak]

The entire point of Perish Song is to stay alive

[random wagon]

heal pulse goth

ik thats the point of perish trap

[ornate cloak]

Doesn't have any real support going for it

[random wagon]

also as a whole i wouldnt recommend building a whole team around perish trap, rather use it as a mode

[ornate cloak]

In a 2-2-2 archetype?

[random wagon]

not really

like you drop goth for archaludon and have perish song on prim/poli as a option

[ornate cloak]

No Shadow Tag

[random wagon]

you dont need tag

Perish song can end dozogiri and the opponent’s final two pokemon

or force out a threat

its not all just trapping and koing

[ornate cloak]

Hm

Ig i can try that

[random wagon]

just ping me if you have more questions

[ornate cloak]

Alr

[tropic saffron]

https://pokepast.es/4a4f5ff50f539105 any changes is recommended here ? i Really wanna keep this garchomp

[random wagon]

the team actually looks really cool! Here are the changes i recommend:
So the issue isnt garchomp, its the set. Due to intimidate, clear amulet would be nice. Tera Fire would also be better to be immune to Will-O-Wisp. Iron Head should be Ground-STAB that isnt earthquake, namely stomping tantrum.

Gholdengo should be Tera Water tbh, but Dragon is also a sick option.

I dont really think you actually want Clefairy here, rather, Clefable. With Unaware you can easily wall out Annihilape, Dozogiri, and with Tera, Archaludon. I recommend a set with Safety Goggles, Follow Me, Skill Swap/Life Dew/Thunder Wave/Icy Wind, Moonblast, Protect, Tera Water/Electric, and a EV spread of 252 HP/252 Def/4 SpDef Calm nature do effectively wall out Dozo, Annihilape, Kingambit, and you still take on Archaludon nicely (tera electric immensly helps with this MU).

i actually recommend a Quiver Dance Volcarona set, which does actually force you to run Thunder Wave/Icy Wind on Clefable. Heat Wave over Firey Dance, Quiver Dance over TW, and Giga Drain over Struggle Bug here with a better EV spread; I recommend using 180 speed EVs (no boosting nature) so, after one Quiver Dance, you outspeed max speed dpult.

Overall a cool and good team, just needed some optimizations!

[tropic saffron]

thanks a lot, but what you think about chomp ev spread ? Any optimizations or is it good ?

it was my first time ev spreading a team

[random wagon]

lemme check real quick (made it to my computer lol)

Doing this with clear amulet; some calcs i found:
Offensive
76 Atk Garchomp Stomping Tantrum vs. 252 HP / 156 Def Incineroar: 104-126 (51.4 - 62.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
76 Atk Garchomp Stomping Tantrum vs. 236 HP / 44 Def Gholdengo: 114-134 (59.3 - 69.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
76 Atk Garchomp Dragon Claw vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Hydreigon: 134-158 (79.7 - 94%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Defensive
252+ SpA Life Orb Liquid Voice Primarina Hyper Voice vs. 196 HP / 148 SpD Tera-Fire Garchomp: 156-187 (75 - 89.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252+ Atk Miracle Seed Rillaboom Wood Hammer vs. 196 HP / 60 Def Garchomp in Grassy Terrain: 166-196 (79.8 - 94.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Grassy Terrain recovery
+2 52+ SpA Gholdengo Make It Rain vs. 196 HP / 148 SpD Garchomp: 144-169 (69.2 - 81.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

overall the EVs should be good for now, especially since the meta is just developing

also just im bad at calcing lmao

+2 76 Atk Tera-Fire Garchomp Stomping Tantrum vs. 252 HP / 4 Def Archaludon: 180-212 (91.3 - 107.6%) -- 50% chance to OHKO
This could be a bit of a issue though

Tbh just scrap it

Really only the talon is good

The incin spread is weird

And the rest have unoptimal sets

Or are just bad pokemon

[copper pumice]

What is the goal here?

[copper pumice]

https://pokepast.es/a553708a0f2c30f3 @random wagon you might remember me from yesterday, i made some adjustments, realized tailroom wasnt viable here, and have been undefeated with this team

[random wagon]

it looks great now, but a few things.

-Annihilape is SUPER random here, especially without beat up support or redirection.

-Only having one protect makes you super vulnerable to TR.

The changes i recommend:

Change Ape to Primarina, since you lack a Water-type and a Hyphlosion resist.

Thunderbolt should be Protect on Gholdengo, I also suggest running Encore or Protect over Fake Tears on Whimsicott. The Whims just feels like it wants to do too much; speed control, disruption, weakening opponents. Id just limit it to the first two, as thats what Whimsicott excels in. I also suggest running Tera Ghost on Whimsicott, with a alternative EV spread of 252 Spe/252 SpAtk/4 HP, as bulk isnt required when you have focus sash.

rillaboom shouldnt have knock off, should be fake out. Fake out enables you to create room to set TW or set uo Gholdengo/Kingambit. Additionaly, run Tera Fire Rillaboom for the Psyspam MU, as they generally use Pokemon like Torkoal and Armarouge.

The Rillaboom EVs are just odd, i recommend fixing them.

One last thing, your actually wasting EVs in Ursa-B’s HP stat, either move 4 EVs to Defense or add the 4 SpDef EVs to HP.

[copper pumice]

What is hyphlosion? And i dont come across many fire types

And why tera ghost?

[minor haven]

Grants Whims immunity to Fake Out

I need help with my EVs and items

[ornate cloak]

@random wagon what would be a good trickroom core?

Indeedee, Hatterene, Torkoal, what else do I add

[ornate cloak]

Try using Rocky Helmet on Amoonguss

And Covert Cloak on Whimsicott

And, maybe specs/scarf on Dengo

Also, for Incineroar, I'd say Tera Ghost/Tera dragon are better than Tera Water

[random wagon]

depends where you want to go, but some common options include ursaluna base/bloodmoon, lilligant-hisui, aramrouge, gallade, and some less common ones include amoonguss and araquanid

[ornate cloak]

Is it necessary to include a mon that can work outside of tr?

[random wagon]

not really, but a lot of the successful teams have 1-2, most commonly being zororak-h and lilligant-h, which can cause mindgames (forgot to mention zoro before oops)

[ornate cloak]

Hm, yeah that can pair nicely with Torkoal

So can I use Indeedee, Hatterene, Torkoal, Lilligant-Hisui, Ursuluna-BloodMoon, and Incineroar?

Or is Incineroar not necessary

[random wagon]

incin isnt very necessary

id suggest armarouge or zoro

[ornate cloak]

Alr I'll try Zoro

[sand minnow]

I've never done a VGC Team before so this was my first attempt

[fresh flicker]

I recommend using teams built from Tournaments. It helps newer players find what's good is the metagame. (Plus this team has a Billion issues)

Use pokepaste

Like why not

Its good but the evs need work

Also run tera water/grass on farig

it just isnt very good

also if im correct you cant activate your own competitive ability

it just isnt relibale; very volatile

I need a lot of help with it

[copper pumice]

Anyone think it would be viable to run a sun team without drought?(obv not just flat out no sun, prob sunny day)

[soft nexus]

whimsicott prankster sunny day???

[soft nexus]

niche at best

but barely viable

[copper pumice]

Lowk forgot abt whimsicott

Just don't exactly love mr 20 speed over here

[soft nexus]

the problem with using whimsicott is

you could get taunted after sunny day

[copper pumice]

Idk ill try ninetales and I'll try whimsicott

[random wagon]

like not hard sun

but a sun mode

kinda like typhlo-h+sunny day whims

[random wagon]

i feel that there isnt enough offense

[soft nexus]

What can I do with it

I want to keep chomp

[random wagon]

id stick with the core of garchomp and gholdengo

it works nicely defensively

then add a fairy to complete the core

i suggest primarina

but sylveon is a option

then, since chomp and ghold work best as set up pokemon, Amoonguss works nicely

then you can add incineroar, probably a bit of a offensive set should work

[rancid fossil]

https://pokepast.es/1571b37c9cdfa337 Funny little Mausape counter team that works well into pretty much everything else/funny concept but theres obviously better teams to deal with it

[random wagon]

finally you add speed control

something like whimsicott, idt murkrow works here

grimmsnarl could be cool too with thunder wave

you could also try farig

tbh the 6th spot is flexible, test a bunch of different things @soft nexus

[random wagon]

mimikyu feels super random here

[rancid fossil]

Just anti tr

[random wagon]

amoonguss just works as a anti TR pokemon

[rancid fossil]

nothing else besides occasional WOW into smth like dozo if amoongus aint around for whatever reason

[random wagon]

ill post a list of notes and changes rn

[soft nexus]

@random wagon who do I replace

[random wagon]

Incinroar and Amoonguss look good! Great job!

Zoroark-Hisui works amazing as a Choice Specs Attacker, packing moves like Hyper Voice, Shadow Ball, Hyper Beam/Tera Blast, Flamethrower/Trick/Icy Wind fill out the set, Tera Blast means Tera Fighting, Hyper Beam means Tera Normal. You could also stick with Tera Stellar lol.

NOW Pelipper can hold the Focus Sash, running 252 SpAtk/252 Spe/4 HP as new EVs. Timid and Modest work great as Natures.

Archaludon should be Tera Grass.

Mimikyu should be swapped for a alternative Ghost-type, either Choice Band Basculegion or Leftovers/Metal Coat Gholdengo.

[random wagon]

i just gave you a whole team

[soft nexus]

no like

replace Pokémon

should I replace ttar

[random wagon]

chomp+dengo
prim/sylv
amoon
incin
speed control

[random wagon]

certainly

with prim/sylv

and replace krow with alternative speed control over murkrow

[soft nexus]

nah should I use volbeat (it gets tail glow baton pass tailwind and has prankster as a hidden ability)

[jovial creek]

no

too much setup needed

its gonna die before anything can happen

[soft nexus]

focus sash

also it has better bulk than murkrow

even with eviolite murkrow

[lament rivet]

https://pokepast.es/242207566e955447

Ik that I only have 5 mons but I wanna know what should I replace + what should be the 6th member

[pliant forge]

heavy duty boots incin for VGC?

[fresh flicker]

Hazards aren't good in VGC, Safety goggles or Sitrus is better for incin.

[pliant forge]

i agree, but that's the first thing i noticed with their pokepaste

[pliant forge]

i think you should get rid of heavy duty boots for incin

[lament rivet]

My bad I didn't realize that I put boots for incin 😭😭

Imma replace it with sitrus

[pliant forge]

no worries

and as far as a 6th member I think you should complete the fire water grass core

whether that's prim, palafin, basculegion, etc that's my inital thought on a 6th member

[jovial creek]

I'd say go clefable over clefairy, make gholdengo nasty plot and then add basculegion in the last slot to help vs incin

Also make grimm light clay

[lament rivet]

Why clefable?

I thought that Clefairy was slightly bulkier than it's evolution because of eviolite

[jovial creek]

Unaware follow me is really strong right now

[lament rivet]

Alrighty

Is there like

Sylveon has the speed EVs it does to outspeed up to Meow in tailwind, and it's running calm mind due to fake out support

HZoroark team to counter Mausape with Arch/Peli/Basculegion as a secondary and ofc the infamous Shroomroar

Tried to recreate my rain team from day 1 of reg h

[potent lion]

I've heard that incin has fallen off a bit. The core I bring most games is arch, palafin, pelipper, and 4th depending on match up, but most times I being maushold for arch support and encore disruption. Should I replace incin with something else?

I only ever use it for gholdengo counter, help against physical teams (which don't seem to be as relevant opposed to special) and willowisp, but again, only really good on physical teams

And arch itself doesn't really need help against physical teams as much since it has stamina, and maushold helps with that as well, and doesn't just help against physical teams either

[jovial creek]

What's your team

[potent lion]

https://pokepast.es/12113c7388e1478e

Sorry, forgot to paste

[keen escarp]

Primarina seems like a nice option for a water type. For Talonflame, Tera Flying seems better for better BB Damage. I would also definitely run Protect on Hydrei else it's too vulnerable. Would ditch heat wave imo

Hope this helps

why 3 grass types

feels very unoptimal

id say remove guss

[warped citrus]

👍

[warped citrus]

Anything else?

@random wagon ?

[random wagon]

tbh there are a lot of things that are off

like tera poison rilla

that should be fire to strengthen your psyspam MU

the garchomp set is just off

id say use tera fire, clear amulet, dragon claw, hhp and then swords dance/eq and protect

light screen should be encore/taunt

dgleam on whims should be mblast

As well as a offensive ev spread and tera ghost

goggles on prim feel iffy, especially since you want tera grass

so i suggest thorat spray/mystic water

fix the evs

tera grass

[warped citrus]

👍

[random wagon]

protect over ice beam

and preferably haze over life dew

[warped citrus]

Ya this team is probably trash😢

Ok

[warped citrus]

But i haven't been facing set up teams

[warped citrus]

or just incineroar

[warped citrus]

Uh one more question what's hhp and eq?

[warped citrus]

All done except evs i don't know what to do to them and is the h. arcanie have good moves? And should i run rock head instead of intimated so i can run high power moves or should i turn it in to a support pokemon and change it ivs to become bulky sorry for asking alot also i didn't change garchomp because i don't know what's hp /eq

Sorry for asking alot

https://pokepast.es/1745c98d421b5483

[royal raven]

i decided to make a flying type gym for my friends and i decided these guys for the mons

[random wagon]

i actually agree with this, maybe use something like dpult and clefable on the last two slots

you can also just use AV rilla

swords dance could be nice over iron head

and you probably want better evs on volcarona and primarina but its fine for now since the meta is still developing

[random wagon]

yes

[random wagon]

you should replace it with ursaluna-bm

[potent lion]

really?

[random wagon]

yeah

[potent lion]

i think it chould help against arch mirror

[random wagon]

otherwise why would farig be that useful

[potent lion]

for anti TR, also armor tail

[random wagon]

palafin feels like its trying to be bascu as well

[potent lion]

its better, way more damage, has priority, and doesnt need rain to still do good damage

[random wagon]

bascu doesnt need rain to deal good damage

bascu also has priority

[potent lion]

it does if it wants to outspeed anything

[potent lion]

with what?

[random wagon]

yeah but you were talking about damage

plus palafin needs to switch

[potent lion]

i was refering to its speed with rain

bascu needs rain for speed, palafdin doesnt, and it also doesnt need rain to do good damage, bascu needs rain to outspeed anything

[random wagon]

palafin also just hits a wall into grass types

at least bascu has last respects

[potent lion]

since im banded, i just use ice punch

[random wagon]

bascu can function as a early game breaker and late game sweeper

[potent lion]

also, theres no really relevent grass types rn and peli deals with then nicely, i dont struggle with grass as much

[random wagon]

tbh palafin cant really work as a early game breaker

[random wagon]

?

rilla

[potent lion]

i dont struggle with palafin, i struggle with incin not having a huge role

[random wagon]

guss

sinistcha

[potent lion]

peli deals with both of those easily

also arch walls them

i feel like bascu is eaqually as bad against both of those

[random wagon]

they have partners too

[potent lion]

i not worried about palafin, it hasnt givin me any problems, im worried cause incin doesnt fill a big enough role

[random wagon]

well you should run ursa-bm over incin

[potent lion]

should i do min or med speed? i use tailwind most often, only have TR for TR counter and rarely ever use it

[random wagon]

probably max speed and modest

[potent lion]

HV, EP, BM and protect im assuming?

[random wagon]

yeah with tera normal and lorb

[potent lion]

alright, i will give bascu a try, is it WC, LastR, FlipT and what else?

what priority does bascu have?

[random wagon]

aqua jet

[potent lion]

alright

adamant max speed?

or since swift swim, just max speed for outspeed things in rain only?

yes

https://pokepast.es/c0a313384dec068f any suggestions on replacing hydreigon? as much as I want to use it, it sticks out like a sore thumb

[rocky egret]

Personally I think that normal ursaluna is the best to slot in here, but the problem with that is that it’s very common on these teams, though I think if you pilot it right you absolutely can win a lot of bad matchups

Sunroom is really hard to use as far as I’m aware because of how much people can plan ahead due to how similar every team is

It’s usually like torkoal, indeedee, ursaluna, 2 of the 3 psyspam abusers (Gallade, Armarouge, Hatterene), and a weird pick/lilligant

So replacing hydreigon makes your team much more predictable but much more powerful

[rocky egret]

I think that you’ll just have bad matchups eventually, but if I were to suggest anything I’d say if you want to help with that matchup specifically I think the Pokémon that matches up by far the best into it is Tyranitar, which already has some synergy with your team

I dunno about air balloon ghold tho lmao

Maybe if u want another dragon type u can go cleat amulet garchomp

Tw eq works well with talon

[acoustic notch]

cool will try that thanks

[acoustic notch]

i think maybe life orb would be better? ko eq to archaludon and intimidate isnt a huge issue with neutralizing gas

or choice band even

but i dont want to be locked into earthquake if weezing is on the field

nevermind, life orb is 85% OHKO chance, choice band is 110-130% chance. Ill take the lock in L

[austere wasp]

yea LO works too!

i dont like choice band because of that reason yes

[primal osprey]

honestly, it would probably be a safer bet to run defiance, as I have been facing a lot of intimidate and snarl users lately, but that's my opinion...

[narrow dock]

1)why does farig have psychic FANGS?
2)why does torkoal have curse
3)why does archaludon have stalwart
4)why does pelliper have knock off
5)why does kingambit have facade
6)why are all but king 252,252,4

[minor haven]

Why the hell are you sacking for King?

This is a singles looking ass team, it's not going to work

You have no Taunt, only 2 Protects, no reliable coverage against Fairy types, no Water move on your Water type and a serious Fake Out weakness if you don't have Farigaraf online

[errant merlin]

might be because im still low ladder but it kinda works?

[errant merlin]

1. i was encountering a lot of grimmsnarl for some reason
2. i kept finding "nothing turns" where both pokemon would protect and torkoal would use some move, so i jsut replaced torkoal's secondary fire move(replaced with shell smash)
3. stamina i just dont find useful enough with indeedee and maushold running rampant and stalwart is the one way to always counter follow me/rage powder
4. brave bird isnt needed
5. anti burn
6. school set so i was lazy and just used the smogon values

[errant merlin]

kingambit has clear amulet

i guess defiant/covert cloak would be better

[errant merlin]

the last farigiraf slot is really filler because most things that psychic htis for super effective i can already do with kingambit/torkoal anyways

and most fighting types are dual type

[errant merlin]

Wait does covert cloak block the stat reset from clear smog?

[primal osprey]

it wouldn't matter if it was on a steel type, as clear smog is poison

[errant merlin]

true

[rocky egret]

uhhh I don't wanna be that guy

but you don't use brave bird with pelli

its a special attacker

and with a supportive set that you're using, why are you investing into making KNOCK OFF a good attack instead of into bulk so you can live hits better?

also just use brick break on kingambit

[errant merlin]

im not, im just using it to get rid of annoying items like assault vest or eviolite

oh i forgot to add tera types but its just the standard ones-- steel for gallade etc

okay this team is ass lol

😔

comfey dont do nothing even at omni +1

[soft nexus]

you have a good FWG core

problem is your move sets for Incineroar and whimsicott, plus your questionable choice of held items

dark pulse over night slash

probably parting shot over shadow claw for incin

also safety goggles/sitrus berry over rocky helmet

Mental herb is weird for whimsicott

[soft nexus]

run safety goggles on maushold

[stiff cosmos]

Yeah I just did that for STAB when I Tera Ghost

So what about Whimsicott then?

[sand remnant]

Hi I started playing vgc a few days ago but i have been watching it for a long time now. This is my first try at a team would appreciate some help Thank you 🙂
https://pokepast.es/4c7eb9dc27902585

im not a 100% sure on how you spread EVs so i tried my best

[stiff cosmos]

EVs are the sliders
IVs are the numbers in the boxes next to the stats

[sand remnant]

yeah but i just go 252 on 2 stats and 4 on another...but from what i see people use really specific values

[stiff cosmos]

Depends what you want it to do

Damage calculator helps

For example: I can train my Incineroar to survive a max attack triple arrows from a Tera fighting H Decidueye.

Figure out what you want to kill/survive and sit in the damage calculator for a while

[sand remnant]

ahh i see ill give it a go thxs

[stiff cosmos]

You figure it out?

[random wagon]

psyspam teams like yours just do 252/252/4

[soft nexus]

no attacking move, if you get taunted game over

[soft nexus]

also remove shadow claw on incin and replace it with parting shot, it’s purpose is to distrupt most of the time and not hit heavily

[hollow zodiac]

preparing a team themed around Blaziken for the upcoming online competition, and I'd like some feedback
https://pokepast.es/95cd3f4c05bf5040

I'd like help perfecting EVs and improving my matchup against rain Archaludon

[errant merlin]

https://pokepast.es/f5570c52ff0c4924
revamped the random team earlier and made a lot of changes, the last slot on torkoal is kinda weird cuz i do want to put another replacement fire move in case torkoal gets low, but i hate inaccurate moves and also kinda want fairy coverage so its a tie between sludge bomb and something like heat wave/lava plume, the last slot of farigiraf is also still a wildcard i just put foul play as a filler move(it sucks), probably just gonna replace it with expanding force

stalwart archaludon is better imo, im probably not changing that unless you have a decent reason (ignoring rage powder and follow me is much more valuable than a few defense increases in a mainly specially offensive metagame)

[soft nexus]

no attacking move on Grimmsnarl

[soft nexus]

1. why are you running rain Pokémon and sun Pokémon on the same team? They just don’t work well together and forces you into bringing Torkoal/farigiraf/kingambit/amoonguss or any other lineup that doesn’t have Torkoal. This reduces your team’s synergy by a lot.

2. Why brick break over kowtow on gambit?

Why dark pulse on Archaludon?

Anyways you can’t run torkoal and pelipper on the same team, they conflict with weather, so choose one or the other.

If you choose sun team put Indeedee on your team, pairs really well with torkoal.

Rain team put basculeigon, it abuses rain to an insane degree.

[errant merlin]

coverage for psyspam

[soft nexus]

I see

[errant merlin]

i guess kingambit does it better

but still archaludon with x1.5 special attack is still a beast

• i can hit throguh follow me indeedee with it

[soft nexus]

Why are you using torkoal and pelipper on the same team though

[errant merlin]

brick break is good for opposing dark types, and matches up well into ursaluna, and kowtow doesn't really come up much when i have sucker punch

[errant merlin]

sun mode and rain mode

• im not really locked into either mode, AV archaludon tanks an opposing archaludon's hit and is a soft counter to rain teams with electro shot

its just either torkoal or pelipper

pelipper is rain speed, torkoal is sunroom

i ev'd kingambit to be fast enough with tailwind but slow enough in trick room

[soft nexus]

I gtg I’ll talk later

[errant merlin]

kk

[soft nexus]

that means kingambit doesn’t benefit from either

[errant merlin]

ill answer the rest of ur questions

[errant merlin]

really?

[soft nexus]

yeah if it’s slow enough for trick room but fast enough for tailwind it’s right in the middle

[errant merlin]

should i ev it one way or the other then

oh wait this is the trick room kingambit set

[soft nexus]

I’m gonna go now

[errant merlin]

kk

[hollow zodiac]

is an attacking move like Spirit Break or Sucker Punch better than running taunt?

[soft nexus]

yeah

your grimmsnarl could get taunted

by whimsicott or something else

[random wagon]

Not by whims bc prankster

Buy like incin

*but

oh

what should be the 4th move that I put on my Dragonite

[plucky cairn]

https://pokepast.es/6648f01bb32bf78e for regionals

[random wagon]

tbh its probably not a good idea to post your regional team but i’ll help still:

hatterene should hold lorb with tera fire

ursaluna-bm should be base luna to give a phys attacker

gallade could probably have tera grass

the team kinda just wants torkoal so i recommend that over farig

you dont really need wide guard on arma, so you can run tr there

[pulsar ember]

I'm going into a tournament testing out different teams wondering what you think of this one https://pokepast.es/6a2e3303d7cdbe43

[random wagon]

this looks like zee’s baltimore team

protect over tw on viv

protect over cm on prim

you might want low kick over tera blast on kingambit but thats up to you

glim feels a tad bit random but i suppose it can work

[soft nexus]

https://pokepast.es/9a4e8656557da114
dragonite feels really random here, I don’t know what to put for that slot feeling like I should replace dragonite with A9

[kindred sorrel]

Trying to cook up a dedicated reg H team. This is what I've got so far how is it?

[tribal void]

i would say make your gholdengo a bit bulkier. Lefties ghold is not very popular right now, but if you were to use it make sure to have a lot more bulk as those lefties will add up on the bulk. The recovery lefties give you when you're 252spatk 252 spe is somewhat useless and having more bulk allows you to live some hits that you wouldn't otherwise. Also correct me if im wrong but loaded dice does not affect triple axel iirc

[tribal void]

im going to avoid the dnite pick currently as i feel like there are some more issues that the team could use. Gholdengo loves protect and air balloon is a bit useless in doubles due to the ability to double into one pokemon. I would suggest tera dragon as a defensive typing as well since fairies are already scared of stab make it rain. Another thing is that you don't really have anything to beat dondozo, maybe try to slot on haze on primarina in order to cover for that.

[tribal void]

now looking at the team, i feel like you might want to bring a dark type. You team will do pretty poorly against psyspam imo unless you have a dark type.

idk what dark type you would use

[gentle epoch]

https://pokepast.es/f1ebdf86a0622b88

typhlosion is to deal with gholdengo, murkrow is there because i didnt know what else to put, ursaluna is just good and incin is good support for typhlosion or ursaluna then the team is built around the other 2

[tribal void]

there are 2 ways i think you can go about this. The first thing maybe is to replace murkrow with whimsicott. Whim is a great tailwind setter, gives you a spore immunity, and can be annoying with taunt, encore, stab moonblasts, or sunny day to power up the typhlosion. The second option is dropping the incineroar for something else. Since you already have a fire type and a dark type, maybe look for an alternative option from incineroar, maybe running another intimidator if you want that bulk against physical attackers or rillaboom to give yourself a grass type that is also immune to spore just like incin with that fake out support.

this is all suggestions for improvement

imo tripling down on fire types can be a bad idea since rain is still very good and tyranitar's rock slides look pretty scary against your team besides ursa

[soft nexus]

grimmsnarl?

[tribal void]

grimmsnarl is an ok choice if you want to have your ghold be very bulky and just spam nasty plots and spam make it rain

like

metal coat

tera dragon

[soft nexus]

what about murkrow

(speed control and walls psyspam)

[soft nexus]

first of all you don’t run u turn and parting shot on the same mon
secondly your offense isn’t that good

it’s very easy to break

also if you’re not using amoonguss or incineroar a lot replace them

[random wagon]

Id say scratch incin for ursa-bm

Run mblast over tr, encore over dazz, sash over helm, tera ghost and a 252 spatk 4 hp 252 spe timid soread for whims

*spread

Intimidate on harc

And rock slide over wild charge

Shadow Ball Farig is really not great rn, i suggest helping hand with tera water

Or grass

change that whole amoonguss set

I'll givw you pne in a sec

Bascu should also br prim

Amoonguss @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Regenerator
Level: 50
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 252 HP / 156 Def / 100 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk

• Spore
• Rage Powder
• Clear Smog
• Pollen PuffPuff

That should work for a amoonguss spread

[soft nexus]

also your team has a terrible matchup into archaludon

[soft nexus]

no weezings only purpose just to help toedscruel

Meanwhile pawmot can do a whole lot

for the chomp part it clutched a 1v3

and overall it serves as counterplay to Gholdengo, either forcing it to Tera or protect

or switch, but as long as chomp is on the field and I haven’t used my Tera, gholdengo is not returning to the field

I suggest incin over rilla since you already have hecid

Hecid should be Adamant

Shift the HP EVs to speed on pelipper and run tera ghost

Fix the evs on arch and run tera grass

Otherwise its actually a good team

Also run tera steel hecid

toedscruel can’t do enough damage

meanwhile 252 Atk Garchomp Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 4 Def Gholdengo: 180-212 (92.7 - 109.2%) -- 56.3% chance to OHKO

also my Toedscruel has never ohko’d a gholdengo

[random wagon]

You dont need to OHKO

2HKO is enough

[soft nexus]

they’ll switch or protect next turn

[random wagon]

then you applied pressure

Which is good

They would switch out on chomp immediately anyways

[soft nexus]

also gholdengo counterplay isn’t chomp’s only purpose

quake spam next to Tera flying whimsicott

[random wagon]

Tera flying whims is really bad

[soft nexus]

with no Tera doesn’t do a whole lot to whim either

[random wagon]

Yeah but you break sash

Which can be pivotal in the match

[soft nexus]

I switched sash out

made whim specially bulky to live against arch

[random wagon]

are you running cloak?

this might be horrible

[random wagon]

But still you dont want to hit your own pokemon, lile always try to avoid it

*like

Unless you have ways around

[soft nexus]

because I’m scared of steel

[random wagon]

thats odd

just run tera fire cloak

[soft nexus]

it hogs the Tera tho

[random wagon]

no it doesnt

you shouldnt be teraing whims in most scenarios

Its ok to let it go down sometimes

i also run whimsicott with Pawmot

Been messing with Reg H again, are any of these teams decent?

[random wagon]

the mausape team is really good, only suggest changing the prim evs and running phantom force over breakinng swipr

pelipper on the second team is random tbh

i recommend running glimmora and then pawmot over sneasler

then finally the rain team should have ursaluna-bm over ghold and amoonguss over clef

otherwise all the teams are really good

[unkempt anvil]

which EVs should I run on prim?

[random wagon]

i have a spread somewhere hold up

[unkempt anvil]

also I was thinking about replacing TBlast on Pult and maybe changing tera type altogether

[random wagon]

here: https://pokepast.es/ce52407bdb7b1751

[random wagon]

you could do that

and run phantom force there with tera dragon snd keep breaking swipe

[unkempt anvil]

aye aye!

[unkempt anvil]

change the item too or just the EVs?

just the evs

[random wagon]

although witthout mystic water you cant ohko modest ursa-bm

so just be wary of that

it’s pretty good, just replace disable with encore and moon blast with blizzard
muddy water over water pulse
icicle crash over spear
thermal exchange over ice body

Anyone wants check this team

I feel like you lack any ability to hit steels like archaludon and gambit. I'd suggest running a fighting type over mimikyu. Having a rage powder volc is already good redirection for fighting moves going towards you and you have mutiple other resists as well so its better to run a fighting type over a ghost type. You could also just run both with ape.

thats my suggestion

I would suggest tera flying tera blast

on dnite

but only if you plan on keeping tailwind around

double priority and tailwind is already a lot of speed control

and some teams

like to drop tailwind

in order to have a more defensive core as double priority deals with most speedy threats imo
