Should i put power up punch?
use the samples
I dont want to copy someone else's shit
?
ur learning the tier by using a proven good team
so that when u do build ur own team u actually have a semblance of an idea of what ur doing
push the ego down and try to learn the tier
no point slapping shit together without a purpose
u wont get anywhere building like that
Tf is kingambit hitting with x scissor and passion jab that he couldn't already
https://pokepast.es/780710c8746b502b yeah this team hasn't been doing well, my only request is to keep msciz

New NatDex OU RMT @limber crypt, @ember hollow, @pale spear. I won't notify you again for at least 6 hours.
how do I beat garganacl
New NatDex OU RMT @limber crypt, @ember hollow, @pale spear. I won't notify you again for at least 6 hours.
i think specs pult is better here, also u want hp fire > focus blast on lele for the sciz mu
any reason for attack on ferro?
fair
aight should I invest in phys def
or spdef
its ur choice
i think ferros evs can be rly flexible if ur bothered enough to go into the damage calc
if u arent u can just go max pdef
also
do I really need specs pult?
I've been winning games
soley on subbing up and ddancing
i mean
dd pult lends itself to more ho builds which can support its sweeep
with screens/shed
specs pult tends to work better here as a standalone breakers
but if it works for u
by all means
@pale spear

https://pokepast.es/c69d253709f9d64b tried making gen 9 ND stall
New NatDex OU RMT @limber crypt, @ember hollow, @pale spear. I won't notify you again for at least 6 hours.
I should probably change the sableye spread
Because that was for gen 7 ou
Somebody sent me a rocks scarf lando team ;-;
Stall like these are jus
can u not use gay pejoratively
and there is nothing wrong
These type of stall builds just get 6-0d by any dedicated wallbreakers
That’s a reason I don’t like these kind of builds
okay its not teamstyle
With the
my apologies
Addition of dhengo
i assume you meant the teamstyle
Stall is just
because people who usually call stall "gay@
In its nieche
semistall is what rlly works rn
Ye
Hit 1800 with this
but i cant think of much "dedicated wallbreakers" that 6-0 this
Wallbreakers sweeepers
For example
other than like
Mega maw
gambit lol
Manaphy
mega maw sucks
Kingambit
Hoopa unbound
Tpunch mega maw also breaks through stall
u got alo and clef
And specs hoopa is also a thing
Hoopa doesent always run choice items
hoopa in general is
not really relevant lol
same with maw currently
but making skarm id would solve that
and the gambit issue
How do u switch into a +2 mega maw after rocks
only loses to crits or parad
skarm hard swaps on the sd and clicks id
it is faster than mmaw
Mega maw uses like 185 speed
but maw isnt even that relevant of a mon rn
For scizor
it is faster than max speed mega mawile
i know how much it uses
the skarm spread hits 200
maw hits 199 max
maw is slowrr
Even if skarm is faster
All it could do is
Land a body press
Skarm needs to be slower in order to make perfect use of its counter
Which wouldn’t make much sense if it’s sturdy has been broken
Through taking damage from rocks
His skarm ks speed uninvested aswell lol
So skarm is gonna be
176 spee total
Idk what ur talking about lol
oh
i think
theh put the wromg evs
bc the spread is correct but
the spd should be in speed
yeah thats why i said
change it to idpress lol
He isn’t even use
Body press
It’s a brave bird
Skarm
😭
Prolly for like the breloom mu
But bpress is just better
New NatDex OU RMT @limber crypt, @ember hollow, @pale spear. I won't notify you again for at least 6 hours.
Rate my team
Dude I see fucking agren and I'm so hyped that theres gen 8 stuff here
And then its gen 9
Also the tapu fini nickname is pretending to say a slur
Wait actually isnt that an older gen 8 sample
Slur? XD
yeah i didnt think so
just that its a worse version of that team
Also agren does not exist in gen 9 nd
Bolt beam better I think
Mawile is boltbeam
And also no matter how you say it I refuse to believe this wasn't originally a gen 8 team
not that good anymore
it is. gen8 team@yeah
not a gen9 ome
6-0ed by all the notable sv stuff@and has unviable mons and sets
Should I make it more bulky?
u shld rebuild it
bc the ss and sv meta is like night and day
and this team does not make sense at all in sv
Offensive core would work too
hippowdon and skarmory
kingambit and zamazenta
yeah rhags solid
Ye
I think I have got a good team mons
Lopunny
Kartana
Rotom (wash)
Grimmsnarl
Volc
And maybe hatterene or togekiss
What about this^^^^
Togekiss 💀
Eh?
It is to counter other loppunies
I can also replace it with final gambit Scarf anihillape
it doesnt work on thag team
kiss sucks hatt is specific
grimm doesnt fit on this team
this team@is also not good tm for sv
sucks vs lop and no resl water resist / no way to beat rain
I have the exact team with Hydreigon over ash
lol
Makes the team extra slow unfortunately

Rate this team
Y scorching sand tho?
sands hits heatran and pex
no offense but did you even listen to me when i told you not to use agren
it's not a pokemon that exists in gen 9 natdex ou
battle bond makes it gain+1 in each stat and that's it

I wanted to build a team using my two favorite types, I know it’s gimmicky but that’s kinda the point yeah? Is there any way a team like this could work?

New NatDex OU RMT @limber crypt, @ember hollow, @pale spear, @cobalt skiff. I won't notify you again for at least 6 hours.
my stall team
u got lando lele zama
thats more than enough
mtar gambit is stacking roles
cyc does not do much of anything here
u gave no water resist
To add onto what adem said, this is pr easily fixable, just put a Ferro over the gambit and like
A good Pokémon
Instead of the cyc
Cyc isn’t v good here bc u don’t rly have anything that super appreciates being behind a sub
From what I understand now, shed tail users provide the most benefit for setup sweepers correct?
Ye setup sweepers on like ho structures
There’s been experiments with shed into rly strong breakers like ur mmedis and ur mmaws but it’s not rly a proven structure
New NatDex OU RMT @limber crypt, @ember hollow, @pale spear, @cobalt skiff, @dusk flare. I won't notify you again for at least 6 hours.
Zamazenta is a great answer to Mega Lopunny. Your main problem is water types such as Walking Wake, so I agree that Ferrothorn is a great pick, and it can help with Lopunny, too. Rotom-Wash or Zapdos could also be good fits for their VoltTurn abilities, useful typings, and utility.
Kingambit and Mega T-Tar have overlapping roles, and stacking them both weakens your team to fighting types such as the aforementioned Mega Lopunny and opposing Zamazentas. Kingambit is an upgrade to Mega T-Tar, so there is room to replace it.
@cobalt skiff has built birdspam before
Dont think thats how you do it but ill let him speak
it’s not full birdspam, but it’s built around a core of mega pinsir and hawlucha with voltturn support
https://pokepast.es/6238b57cdc24e9ba fun little natdex team, not the most serious player but was trying to think of alt sets or small changes to team
New NatDex OU RMT @limber crypt, @ember hollow, @pale spear, @cobalt skiff. I won't notify you again for at least 6 hours.
https://pokepast.es/25dc5bf64e8243ee
rate this team
not good
glimm is a mid lead
wash is a waste of a slot here
that garchomp set is awful
u just
posted this
anyways
check samples
https://pokepast.es/f3e2944e5f3bc1d7
this one? it has won me a lot
a tapu team is very cool
it doesnt even have all the moves filled in bro
use the samples
thats not a good team
use the other resources like the vr and the team bazaar
what is vr
viability ranking
u dont need an account
gimme a good team then
If you wanna use the same team but improve upon them then I suggest something like choice specs on topu koko instead of a second z move
and give it grass knot as its fourth move slot to hit ground types
The goal of this resource is to showcase good teams that are easy to pick up and use on the ladder. This should aid players in familiarizing themselves with the current National Dex metagame.
We will try to actively look over the sample teams and make sure that they stay up-to-date in order to...
which one
which one do you think looks most up your alley?
do you like offensive teams? defensive teams? or a mix of the two?
mix
then I'd recommend the Hex Dragapult + NP Gholdengo Balance by ChrisPBacon
or the Choice Band Zamazenta + Mega Tyranitar Bulky Offense by adem
any
is this one of those "troll" teams?
yes
u were right
that's just team rocket
New NatDex OU RMT @limber crypt, @ember hollow, @pale spear. I won't notify you again for at least 6 hours.

Any improvements i can make?

because the mon and set combinations do not make sense

ngl i thought u were talking abt
having issues with building walking wake sun
so when i opened the paste
i thought u were trolling at first
LOL
it absolutely sweeps my rain team
anws i cant rly give feedback on this rn
but yard sun is generally a horrid mu for rian
i wld absolutely go av torn to at least have a bit of insuracne
also helps vs like pult asw
theres a sample rain that basically ticks all the boxes
if u want it
when you try to cover your weaknesses to heavily you end up with a worse off team overall
better to just focus on ur strengths with teams like rain and accept that there will be difficult matchups
and just do ur best to cover them without comprising your other mathcups
hi im kinda new to pokemon showdown and i like water pokemon so i made a rain team

btw pls ignore the hp grass on gyarados
It's fight night, so I stacked a bunch of fighting types onto a team: https://pokepast.es/3dc115b103f64162
do u want me to say the magic words
heal yes
i sure like getting roasted for my bad teams on pkmn showdown
ok i was kinda talking about them i didnt see ur team but
ur team applies
use the sample sets for mons, make gyara to ferro and make kingdra av torn
wait what does avtorn mean im new
guess
assault vest tornadus
specifically tornadus-therian
K
No i was talking about avulsion fraction tornadus therian
again, use the sample sets for all the mons

New NatDex OU RMT @limber crypt, @ember hollow, @pale spear. I won't notify you again for at least 6 hours.
started a solid 6/10 then dropped to a low 1/10
look at the vr
i wld say most hos need volc rn
mgyara is good but
use the sample sets
grimm is a kinda poor screener
yes
koko is better
remove mew corv incin
make it volcarona a speed control and a filler
make mchomp max speed max attack jolly
Give it fire fang over pjab
fire blast or sub over pjab
im ngl
i think blast is better
wait
does blast 2hko skarm
if not i retract my point
I believe so
ok it does
use blast
it beats skarm
bc incin sucks
volc is much better and actually checks val for u
speaking of val
iron valiant
that doesnt change anything rlly
How do those teras help you vs val again
u still cant switch into it
and h dont want to waste tera if u can use it better
valiant or lucha
pult is also an option but maybe not here
i would go val
and koko over grimm
and over corv probably smtg like cyc if u dont mind
if not another setup sweeper also works
?
Just use the sample sets
Making your own sets requires a strong understanding of the game and the metagame
Bestie no offense you used incineroar
Dude im gonna be real i'm very sick and i dont even play gen 9 much at all anyways. There are people better than me who will say "yeah, incin sucks" and I'm going to believe them. I have no doubt you'd probably beat me but that doesn't change the fact that incin is a bad poke
Also this has nothing to do with incineroar anyways
If you’re here to get your team rated so it can be improved, take the advice. If you aren’t here to get your team improved, then what’s the point. If you want to battle there’s ladder and tournaments for that
I’m building a team for a tournament, and I’d like some help with team building.
This is what I have for right now https://pokepast.es/169698e1f487c81b
Tera isn’t allowed in the tournament
I just used what was on smogon
That’s what it’s recommending
I’m pretty sure gen 9, but I can double check
Yeah gen 9 natdex
Yeah
Probably to outspeed certain mons
Idk lol
Being able to outspeed those mons is really good though
@dusk flare
hi
This and Adroqks team above
team has no ground type which is already an annoying flaw to have, and also just seems super weak to lop. id go defensive rocks lando > clef and then gambit > weavile, since weavile is flimsy as a ghost resist
i dont think pult rlly fits here too well either
or at least
not dd
i would make it specs / wisphex
u can also make gambit low kick for opposing gambit so pult has an easier time
the first two mons are arguably okay but then this gets.. really random
slowbro, regular scizor, and incin are all really mediocre-bad on ho
especially when adjacent options like mega scizor exist
well if you arent willing to comply then i cant really help you that much
the team would stay quite mediocre
,
im getting to it, no need to be like that lol
😭
If you just respond with no. to the suggestions, its a waste of time to offer them
Why do people larp this hard
slowbro would be better off as another sweeper like iron valiant
also soft checks fightings + breaks faster steel resists for (what should be) mega scizor
also, you dont really need defog (or a support oriented scizor) on a team like this
hazards are much less of an issue to where you're not concerned with the longevity of the team really
incin can also be replaced for gambit
checks ghosts similarly to incin would and appreciates the amount of pressure being put on tusk pex skarm etc
koko should be uturn
you dont want volt switch being blocked by a ground on such a momentum-focused playstyle
so they banned wake
aw

I built this rain team with the help of one of my friends, does it look good? https://pokepast.es/e684fa4cab203e86
New NatDex OU RMT @limber crypt, @ember hollow, @pale spear, @cobalt skiff, @dusk flare. I won't notify you again for at least 6 hours.
zone doesnt really serve a purpose on rain, and av torn is kinda trivial when you can run fog instead and free up a moveslot for peli (which is often worse off as a fogger bc of its rocks weakness)
rain usually follows and incredibly rigid structure and there are rlly only a few mons u can deviate from (barra vs floatzel is really the only pair you have to choose from)
I originally had ferro instead of zone, but was told zone would be better
zone doesnt do much yeah
there are like
zero steels u need to crap
trap*
not crap.
ferro is the only one but that loses to barra cc + repeated hits
or just mana z
basically just to sum it up:
- ferro > zone for hazards + better defensive check to rain killers like dnite mgyara etc;
- utility fog torn + hurricane > fog on peli, frees up a move slot that makes peli more annoying to switch into + better hazard control;
- waterfall > liquidation on pert, and cc > poison jab on barra; pert can easily fish for flinches against a lot of its checks, and pjab hits nothing besides fini (loses to tera water + mediocre mon)
What about liquidation vs waterfall on skewda?
that doesnt work bc skewda doesnt have the bulk to rlly afford 1 or 2 flinches vs its checks in endgame scenarios
Ok, got it
Would this be better? https://pokepast.es/2f678a1fe524dda3
Oh, I just realized I forgot the Tera types
yea nw
I don’t even know why I had poison jab over close combat lol
Hihi just interjecting to say u can run av torn
It’s good if u want a pult sponge
Is this team good?
https://pokepast.es/5985f981bb244064
Isn’t it usually fog peli anyway
Could be wrong

Uhhh
This looks
Interesting
@pale spear
There’s a lot going on here, including some unviable/ very Niche mons
I think I’d start with a sample team for now
I might be able to make this work but Ill need to change a lot and also know your building idea
my building idea?
Like what was your goal with the team, was there one mon in particular you are trying to build around etc.
was it trying to build a bulky defensive team?
yes

New NatDex OU RMT @limber crypt, @ember hollow, @pale spear. I won't notify you again for at least 6 hours.
the other hisui mons arent allowd in nd
they will after home release right?
got some advice?(imagine they're already released)
we cant
because they are huge metagame shifting mons
i assume this is for some non showdown format, some discord bot / side game
if so ask in their server
nkpe
nope*
why would i go in this thread if it was? 😭
my bad that sounds kinda rude
I’d like to make a sticky web team, but I can’t find any references like team samples or up to date analyses. I have an idea of what I’d like to support with webs, (something like specs tapu lele or mega heracross or something else) but I don’t know who my webs setter should be. I’m thinking either ribombee or galvantula. Between those two, which one would be better? Or is there another webs setter that would be better?
Shuckle is typically better than the other two due to Stealth Rock, overall bulk, and the ability to pivot out and force progress with Encore and Final Gambit.
Gholdengo would be pretty good on a Sticky Web team due to it's ability and the much needed speed control.
I’m not a rater but I would probably use spdef Ferro imo
cuz ash Gren seems to spam dark pulse

no split washtom is fine if its the fogger imo, and wisp especially helps vs gambit when u need to burn it and 1v1 with ur own gambit / take a hit with something else to wear it down etc, so i would use that

Is this supposed to NDM?
What's that
National Dex Monotype
You're really constricting yourself by only using one type in regular OU, I could rate it as an NDM team if you like but it won't be optimized in regular NatDex.
Sure let's do NDM
Calm Mind Sableye isn't great and would much prefer just the default set:
Sableye-Mega @ Sablenite
Ability: Prankster
EVs: 248 HP / 104 Def / 156 SpD
Careful Nature
- Knock Off
- Will-O-Wisp
- Recover
- Protect / Metal Burst
Mimikyu prefers Life Orb as there are better Z-Move users on Ghost.
I'm honestly not too sold on Aegislash now that Gholdengo exists, I recommend this set:
Gholdengo @ Ghostium Z / Fightinium Z
Ability: Good as Gold
EVs: 252 HP / 32 Def / 224 Spe
Modest Nature
- Make It Rain
- Shadow Ball
- Focus Blast / Recover / Substitute
- Nasty Plot
However, if you prefer Aegislash:
Aegislash @ Weakness Policy
Ability: Stance Change
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Iron Head
- Shadow Sneak
- Close Combat
- Swords Dance
Change Mind Blown on Blacephalon to Trick or Hidden Power Ice and Psychic to Psyshock, also a Timid Nature.
Give Zoroark Heavy-Duty Boots, Shadow Ball > Bitter Malice, and Focus Blast > Extrasensory. You can also opt for a Scarf set and change Blacephalon to Skeledirge.
Rotom is not great and Spectrier is too good not to use:
Spectrier @ Leftovers
Ability: Grim Neigh
EVs: 252 HP / 112 Def / 144 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Hex
- Calm Mind
- Will-O-Wisp
- Substitute
Okok I see, I like using pokemon that aren't used too much because it gives a small challenge to limit myself but I will make some changes especially to sableye and zoroark because they could be doing better
Using low usage Pokemon is fine but Monotype in a core tier is going to be difficult lol
Yeah but thats the plan, it's also a lot of fun

The definition of a "fun" team. Some may argue that you're only having fun in this game if you're winning but I digress. This team isn't incredible by any stretch of the imagination but i'm not too experienced anyways so lmk how good or terrible this team is and what changes you'd make (:
The issue with this is when you post a team in here it’s a rater’s job to optimize it relative to the meta
yeah, go ahead
So if you’re not willing to use the best possible sets then it doesn’t make sense to send it
i dont have an actual rating of it lol its just fun and idk if its good or bad, it works!
i am willing, thas why i sent it, i want it to be better than fun
sorry for the confusing post in that case
no you're good!
@feral canopy
fun is subjective to everyone, this is a competitive discord and the purpose of these channels is to optimise a team the best it can be competitively while maintaining the original idea if supported well enough. this team is really not good and struggles vs most top threats in the tier alongside a lack of synergy and lacking key components. i will have to remove most mons in the team to build a cohesive structure with this, but without an initial idea / reasoning i cannot. either check the samples or ping me in a few hours again with a base idea of what you intend to build around and why if u want to continue with this
ur not weak to kyu ur just not good at the game
-me
u got more than enough for him anws, play better keep momentum up get turns correct ull be more than fine
ill ratw this tomorrow but off the bat
no ghost resist
ur ghost cplay in general is very poor
Thanks
Mega lopunny fakeout
Can someone check this if they have the chance? 🙂
?
Its entire purpose is to punish piority move users like mega lopunny and dragonite with iron barbs and helmet
Because mega beedrill is made out of glass piority moves kills it
Maybe @dusk flare can feed generations 👀
Okay but you seemt to have forgotten something crucial
You are throwing your ferrothorn against a pokemon with stab cc
I just switch out then
Helmet and barbs do %49 damage to mloppunny
Mbeedrill can kill it afterwards with a safe switch
I cant really understand if ur complementing or absolutely trashing it
neither
I'm commenting on it
I mean sr is good against sun teams
zard y is 4x weak to it
hi
imo lando > chomp here for an extra pivot into ur breakers, would also try low kick gambit here imo; team's fine otherwise i think

Heyo^^
This is a lele + bee focused team I made at the start of the gen; im now trying to get back into Natdex so I wanna know if theres any changes you guys would recommend to keep up with the current meta

Why does like every single post here have an mbee
i think this is where i put this (im completely new and have no idea what im doing) https://pokepast.es/d6095b7b717483a1
you've posted this twice now
to be completely honest it looks like you tried to build an ho without anything that makes hos good
@pale spear
alas
u have found the one tier worse than gen8 natdex for mega bee
the tier is heavily physdef oriented, the backbone for all fats are skarm pex, priority and regen are a huge aspect of most teams, hstack is the basis for most teams be it offensive and defensive, all the new mons cuck it, tera cucks it even more
at the very least u can build a bad tean around ut last gen but i would say it is completely and utterly useless this gen
@feral canopy help him out I don’t build webs

Ok I will rate this team
half the mons in ur team sucks and the sets r awful
,
good morning chef
idk in kinda
Araq sucks more
Ur a bubbble
.
can you suggest a physical lategame sweeper to slot in instead?
I tried pult but Im very dependant on keeping Heatran healthy then so I dont get shadowball spammed (or risk a 50/50), otherwise it fits nicely
Zama solved that problem somewhat (if I keep it healthy), however makes getting lele in a lot harder
Mega-Lopunny looked great on paper too, but the lack of fake out during psychic terrain feels really bad in the last couple of turns

I'm using Ting-Lu as it seems off to use ferro on a sun team, making it even weaker
Idk about swapping lu for Lando T

what is this
I'm sorry but this team wack ngl
yeah adem why is your team so wack
its okay you can be rude to adem
ok yeah I agree
great tusk is a better, bulkier Lando.
yeah tusk is great at pivoting into kartana and being a ground immunity
why skill swap on ribombee
@feral canopy fix your team LOL /j

rate when
only thing that is iffy is scizor. but I respect it
it's still going to do work with getting rid of tapu's
fair
Nah Sulo let him cook
let them talk
basically all the stuff ur saying is wrong
adems team is there as a fix to the other one lol
ah
if u don't 100% know what ur talkin about, not best idea to pop off on someones team in here
cause misinfo leads to lots and lots of confusion
ima dip at this point
Anything I can fix here tho?
it's getting to a point where providing advice is incredibly difficult if you keep posting teams like this and never respond with anything constructive back; if you want a team rated, take the advice and ask if you have questions about it instead of responding with "no"
this has nothing to do with anything here
again, i won't deny you from being team rated, but please try to take advice given
If your teams need to be completely revamped repeatedly, you should probably learn the metagame a bit more. Not only does it make the rater's job easier but the teams you make will just be significantly better.
great tusk does not get taunt nor does it get boom, yw. overall its actually worse than lando too!
mdia and hatt so u can web on them
because i built around gallade since it 6-0es most fat
and is a cool breaker overall under webs
forgor abt this
anws
zama lele is v good u. an build around that, just need to adjyst the test of ur team to work w that (so is zama pult)
smtg like
lele zama gambit lando ferro torn?? possibly
off the top of my head looks like a solid 6
not a fan of triple steel here and 3a offzor idt works here either
gambit is a better dark on sun since it act removes stuff like pult, u dont want or need 2 sun setters (and the rest of ur team us determined by which one u want to build around)
volc is indeed stacking weaknesses without too much gain
a breaker like victini would do better
Thank ya^^
Ended up experimenting myself too and made a separate, more offensive, team using (scarf) Lele, Dragapult, Zama, King, Rotom and Torn with pretty good success; just a completely different playstyle though
The original team also worked super well once I learned the new tera types, especially with the lack of defensive Zapdos, however struggled vs setup sweeper (due to no priority)

should i run special greninja instead of the current set and should i replace clodsire
yh
what should i use instead of clodsire
use the sample sets for all mons
change last 3 mons to ferro and gambit+torn or torn+gambit or zap+torn
🦀🦀🦀
.
gambit+torn?
yes
kantonian?
yes
can try hydro pulse shuriken beam / uturn / spikes
agren kinda sucks
barra would be much better in that slot
Barraskewda?
yes

Rate please any improvement will be really appreciated
rillaboom set does nothing no ground bad sets for all mons except lucha
Damn so basically I suck
Well I made the team so since team team sucks it basically mean I suck too
Anyways how can I improve the team
Change tornados to landoras?
Body press for garg instead of avalanche?
Change to mixed or physical komono
That's all the things I could think of
Well my plan was lucha as a main sweeper and rilla as a second sweeper
Komo as a surprise special since people expect it to be physical
And gambit cause it's broken late game
😭
okay
if u wanna use lucha terrain
my best advice is use it with koko
thats its best partner
rilla is already bad and the set your using is even worse
Oh
u can go fully ho oriented with like
I thought rilla was pretty decent
and a dark (gambit or mgyara)
use the sample sets for all of these
sash lead taunt lando
Understandable
kommo o make it throat spray clang soul clang scales boom burst and cc
ur not funny
cmon the items and some of the moves were pretty creative
lol
dont waste peoples time
everyone can throw random garbage together and put
after
make gambit knock
taunt > hp ice on lanod
can you take a look at this then fr https://pokepast.es/dd2c52ca014d7a02
similar to gen 8 rain teams but idk how good it is in gen 9
taunt > tbolt on koko
Oh yea that does the same thing
timid volc make it flame and tera grass
and psychic > buzz
fix the tera types too
steel / flying / fighting for lucha, dark / flying for gambit,
ghost / water for lando
normal on kommo o
flying / grass on koko
@coral valve
also either make gambit max speed or like 144+ speed evs
https://pokepast.es/37e916ff7d33c288
What about now
make ferro mixdef, i dont have a spread but find one that works for u (look for lele / kyurem calcs, as well as opposing rain calcs to help), make gambit this set
Kingambit @ Leftovers
Ability: Defiant
Tera Type: Poison
EVs: 100 HP / 252 Atk / 156 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Pursuit
- Knock Off
- Low Kick
- Sucker Punch
make mpert max speed jolly and wfall over liqui, put some speed on mana, maybe to hit like 255, use this zap spread Zapdos @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Static
Tera Type: Flying
EVs: 196 HP / 252 SpA / 60 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Weather Ball
- Hurricane
- Thunder
- Roost
oh and make volc boots, forgot
otherwise, that looks great
btw u changed landos hidden power type
not his tera type
What’s Tera poison for? Fairy weakness?
Also does zap no longer need to run max speed in this meta
But yeah Ty for the rest of the changes
Fixed the lando and gave boots to volc
fairy and fight weakness yes; no it doesnt need to nor has it ever needed to, u can run more speed if u like
👍 gl w the team
144 lets u outspeed dirge which imo is the minimum, the + is meant if u want to creep / outspeed more stuff like skarm, corv, mzor, hands, and stuff creeping those
Oh
Thanks for the info
Base 100 was pretty fast in gen 8
Ig less so now
no not really
base 100 was just average last gen
or maybe slightly above average for some
im struggling to get past 1500 with this team, so what should i change?
https://pokepast.es/c3bdf815ce43c4ae
i dont see the synergy in this
sd gambit breaking for…? why isnt it pursuit to trap ghosts for zama, zama with no proper support, random clod, bad ghold set (does not make progress vs anything)
np torn with no support
rlly just looks like random mons and sets put together
psa: gambit has knock off, pls use that and not kowtow
https://pokepast.es/68faeb9788f07b56 im doing a dual type mono electric and fairy. what are some checks and counters on this team for me to work on? might switch koko to screens but idk yet

dont go a dual type mono electric and fairy
No it’s for a tournament thing
better to ask in whatever discord then, #1024432517077540904
Other choices I have are ground, ice
this is for ndou, not ndou + 2 type mono restrictions on mons with god knows what other restrictions on ur opponents
I mean it’s a nd ou team
with type restrictions on you and i assume your opponents as well
Yeah
thats like saying my ndou team but with xerneas yveltal and magearna is just a ndou team
It’s randomized tho
thats a whole different metagame
That’s obviously different
This has ndou Mon
ur opponent has the same restrictions
ghosts click, no real water resist no real fire resist, offensive grounds click
Alright thanks
But does rotom not kind of resist water fire and ground?
no because all the waters 2hko / beat it, and so do the fires
same with the grounds

It kinda faded in gen 8
it was a thing for 2 months
Okay Gen 8
Maybe it was good in Gen 8 SV OU but that's it
don’t know bout gen 8 sv ou
Okay it was actually amazing in gen 8 sv ou tbf

hello :] this is my natdex ou team: https://pokepast.es/fa8dc22a1c9d9244. im using mostly speedy pokemon. any advices?

doesn't seem too bad but i'm shit at this tier
but i like the concept
lets wait until some actual good player comes up though
Could someone rate this?
https://pokepast.es/4ebddb39dd2b9e9f
this looks like an oras ou team with the worst sets imagineable
that team does indeed look 3 gens old
New NatDex OU RMT @limber crypt, @ember hollow, @pale spear. I won't notify you again for at least 6 hours.
you dont really have any good priority sweeper counters other than like sucker punch but if you're fighting a dragonite it could prolly still tank one even without multiscale and then one shot your kingambit with earthquake
if you made your dragapult faster it would counter a one dragon dance dragonite pretty well tho
also idk if heavy duty boots on toxapex is better than black sludge, tox doesent really get hit too hard by stealth rocks or spikes
av tang is relativly ass Id say and pex seems to slow for this kinda team
also besides pult ur team is slow
no defogger also
Is it for ORAS OU or did you make it for Gen 9 ND?
no clue its just my friends
Then it's for ORAS OU, go post it in #1060339824537641152
They'll rate your team
Its def not for oras ou
Due to the z belly drum azu
And the rmt channels are for your own teams anyways
Uh
Z moves werent in xy either...
Its just a weird team that isn't even their own
https://pokepast.es/5f60b6e9b5cc4cee Natdex team ive been running recently, i like it but i think it could be a lot better
New NatDex OU RMT @limber crypt, @ember hollow, @pale spear, @dusk flare. I won't notify you again for at least 6 hours.
there are some choices here that err on the odder side, which would apply to most of the team (ill go over them below)
dnite is pretty hard to make work without boots a lot of the time, especially with a fogger as easy to wear down as washtom; id recommend using a set without fly z and going for smth like dd/eq/espeed/roost instead (this will make it a much much sturdier check to opposing heatran/kartana/non ice punch urshifu, etc)
mpinsir is.. not good to say the least. it thuds into a lot of common pokemon like zap/koko/washtom (especially if scarf), and its mediocre speed tier and rocks weakness rlly dont help; id consider replacing it w something speedier like mlopunny instead, since the team is initially very slow. (you could also try mmedi alternatively, which ill get to next)
pex's set is really conflicting with what it wants to do and what tools it has available to it in nd; pex shouldnt be using sash as a bulky mon, and ice spinner doesnt really hit much. you can easily replace those for heavy duty boots and scald respectively (get rid of the 8 attack evs too)
rachi is easily interchangeable for another steel, it doesnt really get much done as a steel type since its really weak to what it should be checking aside from lele. heatran would be a good fit that also provides rocks + checks gholdengo and non hp ground variants of volc + baits in and also beats dnite checks.
tbh, grimmsnarl doesnt really need to be here; i think you can easily use another ghost resist like gambit, which also provides pursuit support; just an overall better mon.
lastly, i think wash is fine if you make it scarf (if you use mega medicham) or just make it max def max hp w leftovers instead.
Text wall
DONT CAREEEEE OMGGG SHUT UP
the mpinsir can kill zap koko and washtom but it dies while recharging most of the time
im running it with giga impact
the grim is so i can set up and then swap in to pincer so it can live a few hits to get in SD
it doesnt beat koko because its faster and zap is commonly defensive and doesnt die at +2
washtom might die im not sure but the first two def beat it
yea but the thing is grimm doesnt rlly provide anything to anything else here and mpins is a mon that doesnt output much reward
if you want to benefit from screens you need things that have potential to win and take advantage of the extra bulk provided
thats what makes mons like volc excellent ho pokemon, because they use screens very well
so youre saying i should replace m pincer with quiver dance volc and get a new mega like medicham or loppuny?
or that i should swap to a diff screen setter
you dont necessarily need screens here but if you want screens i would recommend a team comp like dnite/koko (or grimm but i prefer koko)/volc/mgyara/filler/filler (one of the fillers should be iron valiant if using koko)
ok ill swap grim for koko, swap mpincer for volc and what itme you think i should use for volc bc i usually run throat spray
If you’re gonna use a screens setter you gotta commit to the HO Screens build instead of a half/half only supporting like 1 or 2 mons
this is what i mean basically yeah
ah alright
throat spray is pretty not good on volc usually
you usually want boots (or lo on some structures)
or a z move but again, that depends
i need to leave for a bit but someone else can help if you send a team
gl building!
Any suggested foggers?
Alr ty
They were
Z moves were released in SM
Oh I thought for a second XY=SM
