i would just run some kind of balance with a good rocker then

#

mew is not tanking

gray meteor
#

should I just celeestella

feral canopy
#

and is completely losing vs trick room

#

I know you can tank and stall it out

#

but

feral canopy
#

well ur best go is some balance/bo

#

to do that ya

#

stall it out and deny free turns

#

as much as possible

It’s not the ghost only team I had before

shadow oasis
#

and mchomp should be switched out for a better mega like mega lopunny

#

Rotom Wash should be wilo wisp instead of thunder wave and pain split over protect because protect feels like a waste of a moveslot and make it physically defensive instead of specially defensive

#

it should also be tera ghost to wall tusk

#

And finally you should swap gliscor for a better ground with stealth rocks

how can i improve my team ?

Better to send that in a pokepaste

#

And while i can't help build the team as a whole, I can tell you that air slash is an awful choice for hamu and he also doesn't need ceaseless and night slash

latent solar
#

ceaseless is for setting up spikes

#

i dont know what to use for other moves

cobalt skiff
#

Yeah ik, ditch night slash

#

And this is my personal preference bring razor shell>aqua cutter

#

What hamu actually runs in natdex I'm not sure, I just know he doesn't run night slash or air slasy

latent solar
#

what to use instead of night slash ?

gen 9 ND

#

Inspired off of another team

#

it was hazard stack

#

With the idea stalling defog

#

and have hazards on most of your Pokémon’s

#

I’m not doing too bad with it rn tho HP fire Lele is annoying

#

Thunderbolt dengo is for Tera water clefable

#

the Clodsire spread is to wall SD iron Val

#

(With Tera)

#

I chose Garg as my last Pokémon because it does make a nice core

#

With pex and dengo

#

I’m not too experienced with this gen yet so any tips would help

shadow oasis
#

Go hippo > clod overall better rocker and better into zard Y MU

#

skarm should have helmet to punish phys attackers

#

with tera dragon to cover more weaknesses than tera water

#

Blissey generally isnt good so i would swap it for mega lop to have a better matchup against offense

#

pex should have scald because we have that in national dex

#

garg should probably be idef bpress salt cure recover with leftovers

#

Pex should also have tera dragon

#

u should probably have make it rain instead of thunderbolt because clefable isnt too popular at the moment

limber crypt
#

the end result of the changes above is pretty similar to thugnar (very good fat team) but it works nonetheless

Snow team

#

Any feedback?

cobalt skiff
feral canopy
#

specifically physdef reception

#

zolt is also really shit without a proper setter

#

and u really need to lean hard into zolt if u want to use it

#

in its current state this looks 6-0ed by lop

feral canopy
#

corv is not a real mon in the tier, ur 6-0ed by dragapult used shadow ball, why is slowking reception, why is there a basc and why is it z tfang and not just eq or whatever

iron summit
feral canopy
#

yes i know

#

but why not atales

#

aka a proper setter

#

3 turn hail is not enough for zolt to do anything

#

especially in pursuit gambit metagame lol

#

snow sucks but if u really want to use it

#

rebuild with atales

#

look at gen 8 examples

in its current state this is not good

slow drum

I want decent bulk on every mon

iron summit

Yah but did you just throw random numbers

slow drum
#

maybe...

feral canopy
#

always go max max with ur mons unless u have a specific reason

#

throwing random evs on is always useless and wont affect ur mon in the slightest since the bulk change is so little

anyways even outside the evs the sets are awful, theres a lack of synergy with all of them as well

Friend of mine wants to know if this team is good or not, and what improvements it could use.

This seems like a bunch of random pokes thrown together

I would use a sample team if i were your friend

Stick to two or three evs

#

Leech seed

#

Id suggest add another special mon like tapu koko or valient or both

And meow is kinda meh in dex but you can use him

Thoughts?

shadow oasis

i recommend looking at the sample teams to understand and what to expect from this tier

otherwise defensibely it looks sound

so wait what do i change in the team?

is there anything u struggle w specifically

idrk ive only played a couple of matches with it

can try like payapa pex to help in the lele and medi mu

otherwise it looks fine

ok ty

eject pex is also an option

to bring in medi and gambit

but ye

fine otherwise

i have a quick question. i just started ndou and ive noticed last respects is unbanned. why is that the case?

feral canopy
#

its banned

zenith jolt

it is? oh mb

i forgot to validate the move, i just didnt see it as banned under the menu

stable blade
#

Hey, I'm kind of new to this, anyone care to help me with this sand team I've been trying to figure out?

#

Featuring

  • toxic/dig/protect gliscor,
  • spikes skarmory,
  • AV ttar,
  • fire blast mega garchomp,
  • wish clefable,
  • nasty plot/recover gholdengo
#

Currently floating around 1400s with it, I'm sure it can be improved to go higher

feral canopy
#

um

#

to put it bluntly

#

this is awful

stable blade
#

I did expect that

feral canopy
#

every single set here is horrible barring the ghold set

stable blade
#

how come?

feral canopy
#

which is just a worse version of the normal bulky evs

#

Gliscor @ Toxic Orb
Ability: Poison Heal
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature

  • Protect
  • Knock Off
  • Dig
  • Toxic
#

this is the first gliscor to not be good

#

idk why u would evrr

#

use dig

#

like ever

stable blade
#

for an extra turn of toxic and poison heal

feral canopy
#

ok but have u faced the fact that u cant toxic anything

#

and that

#

u cant dig stuff if ur dead

#

and that

#

it also means the one mon

#

ur meant to almost always beat

#

(heatran)

#

now hard walls u completely

#

also

#

glsicor gets roost, i "get" how u ended up on tect but roost is miles better

#

and so is a normal eq based set, either sd or facade

#

skarm also gets roost i do not know again why this is tect

#

u shld only be using tect if ur mon literally does not have self recovery at all

#

(in singles)

#

there is 0 other case where u would ever use that move

#

ok maybe not 0, but very close to 0

#

skarm also needs idbp to function if not it gets cleared by everything it wants to check

#

lets see

#

Tyranitar @ Assault Vest
Ability: Sand Stream
Tera Type: Grass
EVs: 52 HP / 252 Atk / 204 SpD
Brave Nature
IVs: 0 Spe

  • Tera Blast
  • Avalanche
  • Stone Edge
  • Pursuit
stable blade
#

I prefer protect mainly for scouting, e.g. figuring out if they have a fire/ice move for skarm/gliscor

#

what's idbp?

feral canopy
#

iron defense body prsss

feral canopy
#

run a healing move

#

if u think they are going to click an ice move go to the mon u want to deal with that

#

if u could have 20 moveslots i would put protect on both of those mons

#

unfortunately u only have 4 and u need all of them

#

and one of them is roost

feral canopy
#

av tar does 0 damage

#

it is not checking anything

#

or pursuiting anything

stable blade
#

that's really not the case ime

feral canopy
#

u also get fucked over by everything u want to pursuit

#

and u have no utility at the same time

#

lose lose scenario

feral canopy
stable blade
#

it has been getting ohkos with pursuit against pult, tapu lele, any psychic/ghost mon really

#

the 0 damage

feral canopy
#

lele barely takes 70 from pursuit

#

in no universe is it getting ohkoed

#

also i just realised this is

#

offensive av

#

why is this not just mega

#

its av but better

#

252+ Atk Tyranitar switching boosted Pursuit (80 BP) vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Tapu Lele: 186-220 (66.1 - 78.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after sandstorm damage

#

pult is the only thing ur ohkoing with pursuit

stable blade
feral canopy
#

gholdengo happily stays in and clicks nasty plot again

#

and uses u as setup fodder

feral canopy
stable blade
#

I mean, it's not left with enough to switch back in again lol

feral canopy
#

it definitely can if it has pivots to bring it in safely

#

hint: it always will

#

regardless the point is not relevant

#

the only thing a set like this would help with is nothing over mtar

#

since ur not even like, max spd invest or whatever

feral canopy
#

ur tyranitar is also taking 50% every time it comes in

#

point goes both ways bucko

stable blade
feral canopy
#

like what

#

mega tar also checks ghold btw

stable blade
#

any fire move I need to protect skarmory from, or literally any powerful special move rather

feral canopy
#

this tar is setup fodder

#

and it can set rocks

feral canopy
#

u cant just say random things and hope it sticks

#

name them

#

or give the calcs if your not sure on specifics

#

actually i can help you

#

i dont recommend using a set so bulk oriented like this

#

but this is just for example to prove a point

#

u would generally want to use a more optimised spread

#

252 SpA Choice Specs Dragapult Shadow Ball vs. 244 HP / 252 SpD Tyranitar-Mega in Sand: 38-45 (9.4 - 11.1%) -- possible 9HKO

#

252 SpA Choice Specs Dragapult Shadow Ball vs. 52 HP / 204 SpD Assault Vest Tyranitar in Sand: 30-36 (8.4 - 10.1%) -- possibly the worst move ever

#

this is assuming u hit the same attack benchmark

#

just for comparisons sake

#

mtar can set rocks alongside this, is much faster (hits a lot of important speed tiers)

#

and has much better physical bulk (u dont die to dd pult!)

#

i cannot think of a possible instance where the 1% extra special bulk would matter

#

or really the increased special bulk in general

stable blade
#

but that's like the biggest hole in the team

feral canopy
#

since tar shouldnt be ur dedicated pivot

stable blade
#

special bulk

feral canopy
#

u should have something like a pex

#

or a av torn

#

because the funny thing about special attackers in the tier

#

is that they generally have ways around one mon

#

pult is clicking uturn

#

lele is teraing fairy and moonblasting u

#

ghold is clicking the funny red type changing button

#

torn is clicking uturn

#

and i can go on and on on why tar shouldnt be ur sole special check

#

regardless of ur set

feral canopy
#

it is impossible

#

mons check specific things

#

they dont check the entire offensive spectrum

#

skarm does good against more physical threats than most mons since it has obscene physical bulk, but it also doesnt deal with a lot

#

same goes for tar

#

anyways, moving onp

#

Garchomp @ Garchompite
Ability: Rough Skin
Tera Type: Steel
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpA
Naughty Nature

  • Stealth Rock
  • Fire Blast
  • Outrage
  • Earthquake
#

this chomp set is lile a worse version of what normal mixchomp would be

#

which would be draco over outrage since outrage is horrible, especially in this economy

rotund delta
feral canopy
#

max speed max spat with naive or timid or hasty

#

regardless the only mchomp set u would want on a "sand"

#

is sd

#

mixchomp is a waste of time

#

the entire point of mixchomp is to hit ur checks w suprise coverage

rotund delta
#

u should also never use chain chomp on mega chomp

#

like ever

feral canopy
#

the entire point of slotting the mon with 170 attack into a enviroment that boosts its attack is so that u hit ur checks harder and kill them

stable blade
feral canopy
#

are u talking about

#

mixed has been the main / one of the main sets for mchomp literally until last gen

rotund delta
#

wait really

feral canopy
#

yes....

rotund delta
#

that’s crazy

feral canopy
#

because sd sets in sand were poor

#

because it was hard to fit them without compensating in other slots

rotund delta
#

huh

feral canopy
#

it is hard to fit him on sand

rotund delta
feral canopy
#

because u have to check other thingsand

#

and ur not adding much more roles

#

it was used on some niche sands in sm

#

but mixed was the main one until scale

feral canopy
#

like mr heatran

#

prime sand candidate mon

rotund delta
#

mchomp kinda just sucks overall let’s be real even on sand i’d rather use dracozolt

feral canopy
#

shores up the matchup into lele pult whatever

#

or say zamazenta and tusk

#

which shore up a mu into gambit

#

which ur team loses to since ur check is ww skarm

stable blade
#

hm heatran might be a good addition

feral canopy
#

the clef set isnt awful but

#

wishtect sucks soft is better

#

and idt mono moon cm rocks is it in this economy

#

the ghold set is just bad evs

#

anyways

#

in its current state u cant just add something

stable blade
#

yeah clef hasn't gotten basically any use out of cm/moonblast tbh, of all of them I thought this one was the one that needed to change the most lol

feral canopy
#

its decent on sand

#

i have not built one lately with it but

#

moreso because i have not built that much lately

#

anyways

#

its probably one of the better options on sand

stable blade
#

oh yeah it's definitely a good presence on the team, walls a lot of things and wishpassing to ttar/skarm has been amazingly good

feral canopy
#

going of off what ive tried w the mon and how it was last gen

#

u want to run

stable blade
#

just cm/moon doesn't seem good for its role

feral canopy
#

a much more offensive version

#

though

#

of sand

stable blade
#

hm, how come?

feral canopy
#

dig protect gliscor and roostless skarm is not getting u anywhere

#

well, past 1400s that is

feral canopy
#

before this sand was more wincon based

#

cm clef cm reuni cm mtias type stuff

stable blade
#

imma be real with you, the gliscor is the one thing I'm not gonna change because it's like most of the fun I have in the battles lol

feral canopy
#

recovery nerf hit a lot of these guys hard, and cm clef got a hit as well w the new mons

#

reuni is the only okayish one

#

well i was thinking of just outright removing it

#

since it really doesnt serve a purpose here

#

that other stuff wont already

#

maybe a sd set

#

could be of use

#

but something like

#

mtar clef ferro av torn fighting filler

#

ur filler is either a ground ur speed control depending on what ur fighting slot is

stable blade
#

why fighting specifically?

feral canopy
#

because of mr natdex

#

(kingambit)

stable blade
#

I really haven't had much difficulty dealing with kingambit with just whirlwind and hazards tbh

feral canopy
#

yeah because ur 1400s

stable blade
#

fair

feral canopy
#

u look at ur team on preview it would seem okay

#

the moment skarm reveals the set

#

gambit terastals and 6-0s

#

and sds*

stable blade
#

also, if you are to run idbp, why not just run corviknight?

feral canopy
#

because skarm has spikes

#

the most broken move in the tier

#

if skarm did not have spikes it would suck a whole lot more

#

and corv would probably be a relevant mon

#

scary thoughts

stable blade
#

so what would the full set be? I'm having trouble figuring out how you'd use all moves you want

#

idbp roost spikes?

feral canopy
#

yes

feral canopy
#

if fighting is tusk

stable blade
#

hm then perhaps you'd need something else to deal with set up sweepers?

feral canopy
#

like what

#

again nothing deals with an entire group of stuff

#

be specific

stable blade
#

idk, just the lack of whirlwind seems scary

feral canopy
#

u click id

#

the setup sweepers u beat will lose

#

um

#

u might be right

#

actually

#

nvm

#

what if the fighting is zama

#

whats the ground

#

@ hidun

feral canopy
#

well

#

not nothing but

#

the stuff u lose to with ww is definitely much more

stable blade
#

hm, ok, I think I'll change my set to that

#

a few other mons too

#

skarm evs? do you think it needs to outspeed anything specific?

#

or just hp/def?

feral canopy
#

mtar clef torn ferro tusk pult is what i wld recommend if u wanted a real team btw

#

shoukd function the same way urs does now

#

ghost wincon set spikes good defensive backbone

#

just minus the badp

stable blade
#

badp?

feral canopy
#

if not max maxp

#

200 is for max speed gambit if ur paranoid

#

max max is if ur not

stable blade
#

ok ok

feral canopy
#

yah ig

#

anything else ud change?

rotund delta
#

well im not a rater so take what i say with a grain of salt but i find ting is super underwhelming

lusty basalt
#

wanted to have a ground and dark resist

#

cld maybe go kingambit over scizor and then another ground

rotund delta
#

tusk

lusty basalt
#

well the issue with that is not having a real steel

#

ting also kinda checks volc via tera

rotund delta
#

could add heatran

lusty basalt
#

over who

rotund delta
#

no hpground volc check + steel

#

lemme look

#

maybe torn?

#

and then swap ting for tusk

#

so u still have removal

lusty basalt

I dont wanna rely on enar as a fight resist

thats fair asf

my friend group invited me to a "natdex draft league" that they are doing this monday where we are picking 3 ou pokemon, 3 uu pokemon, and 6 ru pokemon to teambuild with. I dont really know too much about comp pokemon compared to my friends but i want to win since i think it would be funny so I made this as like a concept for what i might use https://pokepast.es/8ccdcea3d86813ce. Saw people online using unburden sneasler and rillaboom which seemed fun so those were the OU pokemon i thought i would pick along with rotom wash because it just seems like a good pokemon. and then skarmory for hazard thingies and hydreigon for strong moves from UU and then primarina for a bulky thing to eat attacks and also click scald. asking for opinions on this because i assume everyone here probably knows more than me so i am very open to suggestions

better into mons like kartana

need to build a half water hald dark team. its kinda specific. figured i wanted to make it stall and on the top of my head this is what i came up with. not a great team builder by anymeans so just wanted some input

feral canopy
#

i dont get this

#

Volcanion @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Water Absorb
Tera Type: Grass
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk

  • Steam Eruption
  • Flamethrower
  • Earth Power
  • Defog
#

why

#

u also have no pult pivot and get cleared by it

#

esp since vile isnt suit too

#

hard offense is very hard this gen because u can play really well to get into a super advantageous position but can still be fucked by tera, also building is near impossible without getting repetitive with structures or sacrificing big matchups

feral canopy
# worldly hatch https://pokepast.es/41ecbe682ef9d517

u have a lot of overlap here (tar mandi, pex alo gastro), u have a tar with no pursuit (and a generally awful set, u have no steel type, ur fogger is mandi and u can get easily shut down by spikes long term / tspikes pex, and generally breakers in general can push past u since u lack actual strong defensive presences, just some pivots and a few specific ones, np torn, np ghold, lele, yard are some notable ones

#

nvm i just saw what u said, ya thate not possible, i assume its for some pixelmon or discord game or whatever, u might get some kind of workable team bo / balance but its kind of dire

pursuit gambit is for the element of surprise, and if they predict sucker punch, to punish mindgames

i think u would get more mileage out of hdb volc and cm lati, but it seems fine otherwise

#

double fog with psychium isnt bad per se, but hdb volc is just easier go pivot in

lusty basalt
#

well the idea was that psychium allows me to muzzle past pex relativly easily and pursuit+knock cleck eliminates the other volc checks

but the lopunny and pult are there cause i like to have 1-2 offense mons to clean up or beat major threats to stall

so semi stall

in that case thats just bulky offense

I'm building a team for pixelmon right now but our rules on PvP are Nat Dex OU. While "Gen 9" we don't have the "Terastallizing" mechanic. However we have access to the Hisuian pokemon. Pokedex wise, the only pokemon we don't have are entries 917-927, 931, 935-937, 940 - 947, 950- 959, 962-967, 971-979, 981-987, 989-993, and 999-1008. I'm currently thinking of this Offensive Rain-Team (https://pokepast.es/e8d662ca3e649fee). I currently don't like the 4 Special Attackers but this team works pretty well for me. I just started out into competitive pokemon from Loomian Legacy and any advice would help. I'd like to use at least the Urshifu in the team.

feral canopy
#

natdex minus 50+ pokemon, no tera, and most likely a lot of other stuff knowing pixelmon

#

a standard rain team wld be like pelipper mpert barra zapdos ferro and a filler

generally gambit or av torn t

civic saddle

I was gonna be doing volc over heatran

#

But I really wanted rocks and with volc it would just be offense

shadow oasis
#

i think tran is fine here

#

maybe go wash over lando to keep the water resist and pult over ferro to maintain speed

#

i think double ground is unnecessary

civic saddle

Alr

#

what pult set

shadow oasis
#

ddance pult is fine here

civic saddle
#

Alr

#

Wouldn't sun inflict with wash?

#

the reason why I chose Ferro over wash for water resist was that it didn't get less damage in sun

shadow oasis

i see your point but you are gonna click hydro pump rarely in my opinion, and slow volt switches into everything is great and keeps momentum up
