This showcases a bit how the play teams in its glory i would really really appreciate if you take a look at it!!
Watch a replay of a Pokémon battle between jeyeteuete and yazidmw8! Format: [Gen 9 Champions] VGC 2026 Reg M-A; Date: Jun 1, 2026
That was an insanely lucky game
He missed every light of ruin
First, chople on incin
I dont use incen
Sitrus on farig
That is going to end terribly if they bring zard y sneas
Yea I figured
I would trade farig for chomp
Nah nah my strat works better with farig
How so?
Farig is there to absorb fake out
But your core is alr really slow
Its not doing much by switching in
Tailwind
But your switching smth out
Two things will die
For twind
Plus, chomp improves the matchup into sneas zard y
Good check to both at once
Also, this is not mandatory, but basculegion is a better pick than aegislash
But i can respect aegislash on the team, so its ok
Just run poltergeist instead of shadow claw
Cus you need the power fir switch ins like chomp and bulkier basc
i want sneasler players to shit their panys
Yea
So dont switch it out
Is what im saying
Also, scarf basc in rain can ko w flip turn
So…
I dont even play aegislash matter of fact my core already got stuff to counter him as i did many times (i forget to show the games but ill remember to show you) as it said i never switch the 4 the other 2 are just there to confuse opponents
The other 2 being obv incen and aeg
Ok
Just consider not bringing that four to every matchup
I feel like if they dissappear from the game it would make the format 10000000% better
Its really bad into zard y, sneas, aero
Yea yea i got those 2 js incase still
Now how about this team
e
So I'm looking to do an overhaul to this team. It was originally just a maganium team that I added Aggron to and want to make it more focused on her now.
I should note that this is a bit outdated and some of the stats were changed since I took this
tried building mgyara if anyone had any recommendations https://pokepast.es/b38fc9345b2ead9b
New [Gen 9 Champions] VGC RMT @distant trellis, @sleek laurel, @random wagon, @jovial creek, @broken shuttle. I won't notify you again for at least 6 hours.
I need some advice .. I was master rank 1800 elo in champions in reg M-A and climbing my way back up to master tier on the current format .. wasnt really active in this reg so far
I was tweaking my HTR team because I need some variation lol
figured H-Decidueye has pretty low base speed so I could use him .. I need a second slow TR setter (next to Farigiraf) which also is preferably a water type .. I was thinking about Slowbro but Im not sure if he will do the job for me
team is looking like this so far:
https://pokepast.es/b523788b6728f3b8
some thoughts:
- Farigiraf has Protect instead of Hyper Voice because his only purpose is to set up TR and stop prio abusers .. Helping Hand and Protect helps stall/clear threats and Psychic OHKOs Sneasler
- M-Kang has Sucker Punch to hit anything trying to finish off my low health mons + 2HKOs M-Delphox, Basc and M-Gengar .. Hammer Arm helps to outspeed (in TR) slower Mons since it gives -2 Speed thanks to Parental Bond
- Sylveon and Torkoal are no brainers .. both are one of the strongest TR sweepers in the format right now
- H-Decidueye is experimental
- I was thinking about replacing Torkoal with Incin but I wont be able to win weather wars without Torkoal which can be crucial
