There Is No Ground Type
team is also very slow
u prob need to change alo and rilla for something
or maybe just
make alo/rilla scarf lando
maybe scarf lando for alo and the waterpon for rilla that s&l suggested?
https://pokepast.es/f50fb33ee672ed89 with the edits, and pretty standard sets here. Does this work well?
holy
where are people getting that zapdos set
its horrible never use it
Fixed @bleak solstice
Oh wait
U want tera dragon on zapdos and gking
and probably lando too lol
i just got it off smogon site lol
oh that zama spread is bad top
Oh nah

https://pokepast.es/bd4ddf62dfa7d69d team feels all over the place ik. tried to build around nidoking cuz i think it has potential. failing miserably lol
bruh im dumb
thinkin of swapping out Dondozo
thoughts>
i like him but i feel he doeesnt get much use
Same with ting lu
yeah this was based off that set lol
this is a good bulky team thats trying to be a HO team. so i would just pick one. sounds like since your trying to swap out dozo and lu you want more a of a offence team in wich case i would recomend swaping them out. maybe a glimora could work for hazerds and a ogerpon as aother water type.
just dont add deffencive mons again
what the flip
why do you have eject button hatt and sash samurott on a defensive team?
New [Gen 9] National Dex RMT @limber crypt, @pale spear, @cobalt skiff, @crude stump. I won't notify you again for at least 6 hours.
This is my take on an offence team, mostly just saw some synergy between them (except gliscor, I think I’ll drop it for a better lead) with a balance of physical and special threats, Val carries moonblast as an off pick to catch fighting/dark resists off, Mega Lop for physical firepower with Tapu Lele as a special nuke
Volc and Boulder as cleanup/reverse sweep
Maybe a screen setter, or a dedicated suicide lead
i like sub cc mc sd on boulder and booster instead
Aight I can consider that
replace moonblast for encore on valient
u can prob do defensive lando over glisc, with the changes nab mentionned as well
im not a huge fan of boulder on non ho i thibk u can ferro over it since no steel
A defensive ferro would sound decent
So what archetype would this team be
I just slapped it together with no real vision I’ll be honest
given that ur more reliant on getting ur mons in and hitting before ur opponent does id say its just offense
What do yall think of a breaking swipe gouging fire spirit break iron val core team
Basically focus on lowering the attack stats of tbe other mons to allow for setups
Who can help with mega gallade team for gen 8 NDOU please?

New [Gen 9] National Dex RMT @limber crypt, @pale spear, @cobalt skiff, @crude stump. I won't notify you again for at least 6 hours.
probably better to ask in the ubers channel
azelf could be replaced by glimmora its usually better, or lando-t here to slightly fix weak-to-ground problem. scizor should be max speed or at least go 200+
i used those before but i didnt want to deal with galvantula webs

This looks very solid, think the only change id make is sr/etaunt/boom lando @ sash
For the others I mean
sub > eq on gyara, hp ground > buzz on volc, optionally eq > sub on boulder
Ty
not eq
we have no ghold
u want zen @iron tangle
oh ye fair point
New [Gen 9] National Dex RMT @limber crypt, @pale spear, @dusk flare, @cobalt skiff, @crude stump. I won't notify you again for at least 6 hours.
If you wanna go offensive which is where glimmora is usually seen, you shouldn’t put gking and garg there
If you wanna go balance, then you need at least ground and electric immunity and speed control here
Glim doesn’t fit on a balance
Put smth like lando over glim and make gking boots + chilling reception
probably smth fast over garg
appreciate it!
u want tomb on zor over cc
all right
should I have my last slot be Moltres or something for hazard removal
Ok
I don’t think he can learn Tomb
this is the team so far
sand tomb
oh all right
u want some kind of speed control over glimm
should I use CM valiant?
that works
all right
cm booster
yep
yeah, that’s what I normally have it as
use the standard sub serp set also
all right
fire terra with glare?
OK
so everything seems right?
appreciate the help by the way
I think u want tera dragon gking here

Wanna add heatran but it adds my Physical Valiant Weakness
Help haha
Anyone able to help me
Others doing fine ngl
Can someone help me??

A team I made
which do you guys think would be better for my team Diancie or Medicham?
was also wondering if there are any other adjustments I should make as well
I think diancie is fine, pressures all the tera dragon mons and ogerpon nukes everything else, this lacks a ground though, so i think u can drop rilla for smth like lando @brave valve
appreciate it
is glowing still a good idea for this team?
glow king
all right, I appreciate it
anything else I should change as well or would the team seem fine after that?
also, which move should I replace with encore?
superpower?
yeah, nothing i really notice otherwise

New [Gen 9] National Dex RMT @limber crypt, @pale spear, @cobalt skiff, @crude stump. I won't notify you again for at least 6 hours.
This looks fine, maybe a bit waterpon so consider tera dragon lando but thats about it weak
I was thinking of putting Latias-M for Tyranitar-M
need to invest tera yeah
Wait, I tried that with ur team, and u will lose to kyurem lol
Just keep ttar
U might also use MSciz haha
https://pokepast.es/5c9618b03e313c1f hating how i dont have a ground type

also ik theres a defensive balloon tran idk what i was thinking lol
Not a rater but, u can do offensive Z torn then, CM Lefties Bolt, also Defensive Landorus-T with fog > Tox, and keep spdef tran with lefties
Also for tera, Tera Fairy for Bolt, Tera Grass for Tran, and Tera water for Lando. But still wait for the raters to rate this hehe
https://pokepast.es/200fa78651ff9443 is this semi-sun team still viable ? it's a previous sample from before the Gambit ban, except i replaced it first with Ttar (with Knock post Teal Mask), then after the Indigo Disk Toxapex with Raging Bolt as a more offensive water resist (the lack of a bulky pivot with recovery does hurst though).

I did it
alright, now you wait for someone to help
would anybody be willing to help me here? A little bit back I built a mono ice team with aurora veil ninetales + aurorus being a surprisingly fun set with things like ancient power and rock polish to set up
i wanted to try this same general idea but with grimmsnarl duel screens and well…non-ice type mons LOL
what else would go well into what I already have here? also should I just switch mew out for slowking galar for easier pivots?
is this for ndmono..?
this mew set is a momentum sink on screens ho and aurorus is just really dogshit
its not screens ho
this thing is here to take hits and cm up
aurorus also isnt that bad behind an aurora veil with a weakness policy
lmfao you gotta work for it but ive got some funny replays
https://pokepast.es/8e99a1da9efdcae2
I'm very new to playing competitive pokemon. I made this team and I'm not too sure if it's good or bad, send help
New [Gen 9] National Dex RMT @limber crypt, @pale spear, @dusk flare, @cobalt skiff, @crude stump. I won't notify you again for at least 6 hours.
..? Why do you have a grimmsnarl then
to set the screens…
should I be putting the screens on mew
maybe that would be better
…thats ho? screens ho…
does every screens team have to be hyper offense?
is that the only archetype allowed?
if you’re using light clay and screens rhen yeah its screens ho…
why use screens to enable defensive pokemon
all your team members are fairy types
Yes it’s an all fairy team that’s the point
smh
why are you using this in ou then? theres a whole format about using monotype
Any1 knows how to build around Lele + gfire?
Because I’m playing pixelmon and I can be up against all
Ppl can use non monotype teams
Uhhuh..?
It’s not hard to understand..?
Ok…
we don't rate pixelmon teams here, sorry
Wanted to see what the bulky gouging fire set was all about. Paired it with a special wallbreaker in diance mega. Rillaboom is just for good prio and to beat urshifu who is not the easiest to beat. AV torn is a solid special def wall, lando serves as a phys wall. Urshifu is speed control. I know this isnt super well optimized but if anyones got any suggestions as to how to possibly build a better gouging fire core, or how to improve the team lmk! So far has been alright, but think its mainly been due to gouging fire cheese 
well it is a pokemon team just asking in general
Yeah but this is for national dex ou, not pixelmon
yes that is the format I use
you’ll get better help in whatever pixelmon server your in than here
I use showdown and have been for awhile with this team
Yes but this format has nothing to do with monotype teams
especially with restrictions
i can also play ag with an all weedle team, doesnt make it gopd
if you want actual advice
half the team is unviable and all of them have bad sets
with the 3 viable mons there is no synergy between them so you will have to stick with 1-2 at the max
depending on what those are (one or 2 of diancie, clefable, or maybe hatt)
the rest go completely differently
and it does not involve fairy types
this is the only help your going to get here
because again we rate national dex ou, not pixelmon monotype
okay ty
hey... dont hate o n alotales!!!
this team feels as if its very weak to ogerpon-wellspring and cornerstone, considering every time they come into the field they at BEST force chip, at worst snowball out of control. pretty poor weather mu into both sun and rain aswell, id say bulky gfire is a good fit on offence/grassy terrain teams so you might want to base a team off of that archetype instead rather than bo, where gfire's defensive utility isnt as needed due to you having 2 pivots already
That is a good point, i’m not too good at building around top threats too much yet. I definitely did see the synergy on grassy terrain but i’m also not 100% sure what a grassy terrain core looks like lol
i dont have any for nd but generally its stuff like rilla lucha then other mons
Gotcha, maybe i’ll look into some stuff there. I assume grassy terrain doesnt run banded rilla?
New [Gen 9] National Dex RMT @limber crypt, @pale spear, @cobalt skiff, @dusk flare, @cobalt skiff, @crude stump. I won't notify you again for at least 6 hours.
Alright, gouging fire grassy terrain part 2 now with more grassy terrain stuff
i'd make rilla terrain extender here
also hmmm it's okay that you don't have defog since it's pretty much ho
but you need rock
probably tusk over washtom?
do u rlly need
extender
surely band is fine enough
u got enough to keep the defensive load spread
its gna stay alive long enough
nice having another breaker to wear down and pressure zap
Tusk also makes me 3x fairy weak too
u have zor
and other stuff depending on the fairy
go lando for ur ground
i think the ground u want is lando here
def lando
teied and true on these lucha offenses anyways
over washer prob
Rocks defensive lando?
Yes
also i think u want boots for gouginh
and prob tera steel
dont want to get rked by lele
or owned by fs
im ngl im also not too big on non eq gouging but idk if that works then ig so
maybe u cld use smtg like dd 3a with a defensive tera
aka do what bolt does and break shit firsr for lucha or rilla to clean
I like the idea of dd 3 attacks
I originally wanted to try to test out that breaking swipe set that everyone was bitching about in gen 9 ou but that probably doesnt work well here
maybe not idk
im not the biggest fan of gouging in general anyways
feel like bulky sets do 0 damage and band only works on sun
NDOU Screens HO: https://pokepast.es/94049fadf3a58e8b
Not convinced on Gouging+M-Scizor on the team, feels like I'd get better mileage out of something like M-Char X and a Volcarona/Raging Bolt
M-Char would also give me another Ground/Fairy type switch in pre-MEvo
If i don’t like gouging i can probably just slap volc on and be fine yeah?
mmh
makes stuff like opposing volc a hard mu
u wld need to change some stuff if u wna change it to volc
Yeah true, just trynna think of a backup
volc over gfire looks good here
you get too many physical attackers
need water resist also
orb 4a val is a bad set
Im ngl i think grimm wld be better if u run val
maybe
altho u def want encore booster val
Paste should have SD on Val, LOrb was just cause greed lording from Tapu Koko
Started as an ETerrain HO team then morphed
Bulky Volc with Sun or 252/252 timid? Haven't used Volc much so idk what the better set is for HO
the dragon should be dragonite
https://pokepast.es/eaaa541c759bf7c7 Changed to DD+3 attack DNite
espeed dnite is bad
Maybe Ice Spinner over Outrage to hit Flying types
Ou I like those both, I'll test with the dwb set first
Cause Tapu Lele everywhere?
Thats one thing
but ur also walled by a lot
due to lack of coverage
so u cant break well
ur bulky enough to dd twice too a lot of the time too
so not like u need the priority for much
ur forced into tera normal too for damage
so if something teras ur weak as shit
and normal isnt the best defensive type ether
when u have the option of steel or water or poison
That makes a lot of sense actually
It's already come into play in the games I've played since changes
Tera on Volc has had way more impact than Norm tera wouldve
yes
Thanks for the help!!
np
Did I really read this correctly? Espeed Dnite is bad?
Yes
Ya its fallen off

Anyways I really like this team ngl. Latias is really good dealing against Urshifus and Rain
76 SpA is enough to kill shifu with one psychic
Though mystical fire isn't enough to kill Bulky Scizor at full
64 timid is also enough to outspeed glimmora
That looks like semi stall rather than balance lol
https://pokepast.es/4bbe112e6bbfaa0c
I want to fix an issue with this team. Its too passive. How do i fix it, and if there are anying other issues can u plz fix it 2 i really want to get to high ladder with this team

Hmm
https://pokepast.es/6465cfcd7ea5ca1f @late sleet helped with this
Idk if I’m just shit but kommo o fits well but it’s always a 50-50 mon in terms of its game to game value
Also it’s hard to pick which move to slot in
I want flamethrower for ferro, but don’t want to just blow my z on a protect or read, and just have the safer option of regular clang soul
Scarf Val goes crazy tho
Hella good revenge killer
i would recommend to use specs ival here and change kommo to some scarfer
Gotchu
And if going for specs, prolly psyshock for clodsire right
Also just realized my slowking wasn’t - speed nature
Oops
For a scarf kommo o set I would assume to go for mixed correct?
Or fully physical
eh i dont think scarf kommo is good
Just i just go with scarf lele then
Idk im tryna see what would work well
The 2-2-2 style of the team works well in practice
With 2 fat mons with alo and g king, 2 utility mons in lando and ttar, and 2 breakers in val and x
alo and gking generally dont do too well together nowadays
they both can deal with similiar things
and overlap
they are both also easy to take advantage of
New [Gen 9] National Dex RMT @limber crypt, @pale spear, @cobalt skiff, @crude stump. I won't notify you again for at least 6 hours.
Psyspam team, would appreciate any feedback
Yes it can
The seed items don’t check for typing
Only immediate priority that threatens Lucha is thunder clap
Which u prolly ain’t beating anyways
Psychic seed boosts spdef
And they can’t kill if u have terrain up
Adem your time to spread wisdom I’m gonna sleep
point is that it activates unburden and you can win lol
the boost is just a +
this is not good
far too passive
i dont see what the synergy all these defensive aimed mons have together
mono defog zor this gen is also not good, or well just fog zor im ngl
ur js gna get mowed over by medi coming in every other turn and claim something
cant break stuff like cm reuni and even cm clef well
they come in on everything and can setup
I would like an update on this plz ?
lando isn't for stall. it's a pivot on balance structures
and bo
the team feels like a stall team without any actually good understanding of stall
personally i don't like to put tar on sun team. yard + tar was more like a gen6 offense core but tar is hurting abilities of tusk and bolt here

@crude stump
they were already pinged by chatot
I think the crown slot isn’t good
oh
that should realistically just be a mega scizor ye
If you wanna use set up crown probably double dance set would be better but yeah
3a?
Better not to run crown
yes
manaphy is also balls outside of rain + boulder needs booster to actually do anything of worth on ho
:C
also personally I like alluring voice over ice beam on manaphy rn
You hit dragon hard with voice
but sulo said mana shouldnt be here so like
do I put like idfk anymore Lucha in that slot?
https://pokepast.es/2c33b1a6d4f663f3 Any change in this team?
https://pokepast.es/8f0a368104e5d6b1
@crude stump
goin to need some help again
a team around buzzswole cause
Cyclizar is hot ass
Double hazard removal really isn’t necessary unless ur running a team that relies on something like zard y
I would just go boots on buzzwole
U have drain punch + roost
So ur gonna not have issues with longevity
And rillaboom
I’m tripping balls
I thought I saw a Defog lando on that 💀
Mb
Cyclizar still ass tho
so what should i go for hazard removal
only rapid spin
defog is not go for grassy terrian
i need it for buzzswole and tran
treads would work int hat slot better
u have pivot volt switch
rocks
spim
and then whatever attack for 4th slot
also i would 100% run physically defensive gliscor over special
why in the world would u run physdef gliscor
the main stuff you want to eat and check are special attackers
idk what typa of gliscor u be using bro
u dont wanna be sitting on a gking ice beam even if ur spdef
ur taking like 75%
ok there is ice beam gking in nd
but
u also easily take it with spd
0 SpA Slowking-Galar Ice Beam vs. 244 HP / 252+ SpD Gliscor: 244-288 (69.3 - 81.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Poison Heal
there isnt a lot of ice beam but there is a lot of hp ice
252 SpA Tapu Koko Hidden Power Ice vs. 244 HP / 252+ SpD Gliscor: 184-220 (52.2 - 62.5%) -- 71.9% chance to 2HKO after Poison Heal
and then u 2hko it
or u roost it off
means you can beat booster val p easily, and scout specs

How to kill a Tornadus-Therian?
👍
this is too passive and i dont see why there's a treads on the team with glisc and tran already there
0 offensive and defensive synergy here
if you want to play around buzzwole
i think you need to make it defensive at least
cuz rn it walls nothing
so what to delete from the team?
anything you wanna keep besides buzzwole...?
i do want to keep buzzswole obviously
first of all you will need smth to threaten flying type here
so like and electric type?
https://pokepast.es/4d127a35c48c330d
ok how this looks so far?
Add a speed control
take whatever u heard from non raters w a grain of salt
ok
to be fair cyclizar was in that slot before 💀
https://pokepast.es/c554422881ad6cff how is this?
New [Gen 9] National Dex RMT @limber crypt, @pale spear, @cobalt skiff, @dusk flare, @cobalt skiff, @crude stump. I won't notify you again for at least 6 hours.
seems fine to me, not a change but a possible alternative is ferrolando > tran and glisc
Makes the waterpon mu a bit better + guves u more pivoting while keeping spikes but its hardly necessariy
Or make you alomo tera dragon to improve the ogerpon mu
I was thinking about putting ferrothorn on Tornadus and make defoger the gliscor
I’d prefer to keep torn cuz the team is already pretty slow
This is a cool one i’ve been messing with, av iron crown is pretty chill, soaks a lot of special attacks and hits pretty hard with terrain up. Lando because its required Iron valiant is iron valiant. Koko for terrain, mega sciz for prio, urshifu set is kinda gimmicky. Been thinking about switching some stuff around. Def urshifu, a bit too gimmicky and maybe terrain is not needed. Ival could be a diff set too. Definitely also weak to other setup mons. Lemme know if you got any suggestions! Maybe i’ll start throwing some of these in the team bazzar soon
you need a defog somewhere

that seems annoying
this was a specs crown team that was para spikes to help enable it
fine w/ dropping it
everything that adriyun said+make garchomp offensive rocker
like SD eq outrage/stone edge stealth rock
then dragonium or rockinium z for the respective move you pick
tankchomp is just a huge momentum sink here
https://pokepast.es/14fd102faa276c3c smthn like this?
thank you
finally id say tera psychic/fairy is better on lele and gking prefers tera steel
done done, also why does oger run that set
arent like, you wanting to hit the 50 dragons
holy
this team looks horrid
BAD ZAPDOS SET
theres no reason for def zapdos here anyway u have tankchomp
superpower/cudgel hits most of them already
this also loses to volc
and weavile
drop lele or gking
probably gking
or both even, u already have speed control with lop
something like this possibly
altho im not big on tankchomp in this economy, no point having 3 breakers all pressure the same thing
a structure like this could also work
a lot of different mons but the roles and roughly the same, and gel better w the team
walled by big ferro
all the mons js gonna come back in and set hazards again
hard truth buddy
cane zap is dicks
I can’t believe one day I will see myself agreeing with you
sry for wording problem. great to see someone against adem’s zap set
Oh lol
the zap set that everyone has run since this gen*
fog zapdos is dicks anyways
What everyone runs is defog roost can vs
i would rather run corv
but I’m not a fan for defog zap rn
yeah because they were indoctrinated by you lot
no longer fits the meta
of it being a good set
the moment gliscor became a viable pokemon it wasnt a good set
I used it when gliscor wasn’t that common and ferro was ass due to ghold
0 zap usage recently so I don’t really mind actually

koko can be tough into this
looks cool in general ig it's acceptable
yea i wont use it now lol
probably slap a ferro or smth
ill just build smthn else, corv pex zzz
Mb, just seeing this been working all day. Is it worth just running defog on lando over having rocks?
it's actually ok to run without defog here but you would play hard against tspikes or webs
rock def more important tho
Yeah i’ve def been having some trouble dealing with those
Webs especially without great speed control
And hazard chip adds up
@barren egret this thread should help <3
Ferro > glisc, and gking > tran, this should help with the ival and wellspring mus which screw you up rn, while keeping spikes and giving u more oppurtunities to bring lati and darkrai
I would also prob go specs and smth faster than koko in the ladt slot, i think zama works bc it likes gking besting fairies and beats darks/steels for lati
ferro is banned in nd and by gking do u mean kingambit? also am new could u be a bit more specific
ferrothorn isnt banned in natdex. by gking they mean slowking-galar as kingambit is banned in national dex
so for utiltiy i should use ferrothorn and for wall i should use gking?
and another question :
by zama do u mean zamazenta
yes
yes
ok
@limber crypt this is updated team what u think https://pokepast.es/f6537fc5621ddf3f
Band weavile over darkrai, stealth rock on ferro, physical defensive lando with defog, and you could check dex for latios set
first team i made without help of resources https://pokepast.es/54b55cf7ce463df8
Why would you stack four flying types
Heal pulse is useless
Is this even for single format?
use sample teams
at least check dex for sets
Can u send
Dk how to check dex
Go for the sample sets
Also I’d echo adem on this
It’s better to try sample teams before you build

Imo
U should go Tera ghost on samurott
I haven't found it coming up particularly ngl
The only really common rapid spinners in the tier are the paradox donphans and neither of them really wanna risk a razor shell to the face
They don't know I don't have it xd
https://pokepast.es/73a884df2f653ce5 this is the first team ive made
from reading the wikis and stuff
think u need to give it a reread buddy
dragapult is banned
pelli also only works on full rain
and currently nothing on here benefits from rain in the slightesr
koff tusk is also bad
joever

oh, the wiki said raging bolt benefits from rain
you probably checked ou, not natdex

keep looking it gets scarier
Ice beam isn’t what you bring on alomo
im cooking
4/6 members of this team are okay
The Mononobe no Futo encourages and uplifts new players
You just need to check sample sets
There’s a ferro + blissey for lele although idk why there is a ferro on stall
i searched for samples closest i got were fat balances
i dont even know how to build i just like playin stall
I can’t show it rn but it’s clod bliss corvi pex dozo glisc
THAT TEAM

New [Gen 9] National Dex RMT @limber crypt, @pale spear, @dusk flare, @cobalt skiff, @crude stump. I won't notify you again for at least 6 hours.
fastest mon koko is pretty abusable and gking mola is a pretty mediocre defensive core as well; this also lacks stealth rock and a good stopgap to ogerpon
although not faster but darkrai looks horrifying here
i think scarf lando > glisc, rocks ferro > gking, and pex > mola is alright; make gking tera dragon, kyurem tera ice, and glisc tera fairy as well
Same. Scarf lando with defog over gliscor here and ferro over gking, but i think both pex and mola can work here. It depends on if you wanna click a slow pivot or better defensive core
Anything like that? https://pokepast.es/7c3ce3502ecf79b1
yea this looks better
altho without gking i think kyu should just be boots now
or make koko boots
at least one of these two should be boots to relieve threats from hazard
btw i think you can go 31 atk iv but still use hp ice
yeah boots kyu looks better since it can load roost now
tell that to the guy who put chansey on sun
It fits.
You Are Hating.

this is a team I made a little bit earlier. I’ve been thinking of replacing Charizard because I’m not sure if he really fits but I don’t know any good alternatives to him
there is a ogerpon wellspring and a mega charizard Y in the same team
ye ngl if u replace the yard w like
zama
or smth that checks oger while keeping the pressure
this is a fine team
yeah, I felt like I was doing something wrong
beloved dragonite
F
I tried to make a team around dark
maybe
Yap yap yap
I felt like either Charizard or spring had to go
all right
what would be a good check?
assault vest?
isn’t most of its threats physical though
then u change wellspring to some kind of other volc check mayb
yes but
ur checking the special ones
if I remove wellspring though, I’ll be weak to rain
he was my main check
otherwise swampert slaughters everyone
would like a suggustion for a meta viable semi-sun then since the new samples lack one
@crude stump @pale spear
everything u can think of
both are on the analyses
are alternatives with another fire type viable ? if not, thanks !
Man this team sucks
im no pro but why run hp defensive lando t
if you’re gonna use choice scarf
and why weavile with zard Y
i thought you were running a sun team since raging bolt and m zard Y
also why not solar blade instead of leaf blade
since you have sun
id start from scratch
so you can switch into stuff
why scarf then if its a pivot
it can still pivot if its switching into things
if you come in on a koko, its not going to want to stay in so you can predict a switch and pivot with uturn
also leaf blade is more consistent cause youre not always gonna have sun
is double intimidate and parting shot sound like a bad idea?

I took a friend’s team and tried to make it better, thoughts?
New [Gen 9] National Dex RMT @limber crypt, @pale spear, @cobalt skiff, @crude stump. I won't notify you again for at least 6 hours.
Raging bolt 6-0
Make glowking toxic instead of twave
Since Ferro dies to taunt or weather ball
You could also try going offensive tusk to revenge kill bolt
But Tera flying taunt bolt just kills the entire team
Stfu
Your just a hater dawg
because the point is your a bulky pivot
there is literally an analysis on this set
the team doest need more firepower with yard and bolt and kart and weavile
pursuit + yard, and specifically weavile + yard has been a combination that has been used since char y came into existence lol
this is literally the most normal team about char y sun
literally 99% of teams with it pair it with a pursuiter
and most of the time these past few gens it has been weavile
isn’t pursuit banned
and...?
????
Adem rant incoming
how do you say this
when you dont even know what tier your talking about
cause its what id do
and i wasnt posting a team@to rate, i was sending them a team for what they asked for
I was right
because sun isnt going to be up most of the time, and you want your kart to actually do damage
pursuit traps Yard's checks
solar blade is very overkill'
no offense but it sounds like u dont know what ur talking about
did i burn the food https://pokepast.es/dc9769b248934cdf

You can use this from sample
Been outta the loop in terms of changes, meta, etc. Stuck between Gliscor & Lando? Any opinions?
use both

tpunch > slide on shifu, recommwnding tera dragon on pex as well since this is kinda waterpon food
This looks very solid wnd i sont notice any upfront weaknesses outaide of raging bolt/archaludon ig? But u can pressure them quite a bit
an HO team that I made
I was thinking of replacing a grim, snarl, but I’m not sure with who
Defensive lando and np torn are usually for more balanced style
If you wanna keep lando here it should go offensive like sd Z or suicide lead
Also 4/6 the team weak to fairy isn’t that good
Maybe you need a volc over torn

o shitn
Probably
Not sure on lando set still but it looks better
Definitely offensive
I’m unsure about rock or fly z or even just taunt rock explosion
No offence that scizor set looks ass
what should i use then
I'm not exactly a pro so you don't need to listen to my advice you can just wait for a helper
But
5/6 pokemon on your team have toxic
Since I'm guessing it's stall the point of your mscizor should be to do some damage while also defogging and pivoting
Yea but also switch the evs to something more physically defensive since that's scizor's strength
Maybe like a 1/3 2/3 split between phys and special

Gen8, wanted to try a lopunny team cause never used it before. Tried making it more aligned to offense since its a style im comfortable with. Liked the idea of specs latios so I put it there. Originally it was qd volc. Would like to know if there are any issues i can patch up. Some that i know of is blaziken, though it just wears itself down to fake out/glide range after a while. 2/6 mons are also susceptible to ttar trapping 😭
nother issue is like no real way to beat tran
i can whittle it down with slowking sure
but often ends up letting slowking die
how should i make it better then
Life orb, Venusaur and if you have double sun, why double booster?
https://pokepast.es/511b2d9a00b6151e
so i made a lance-like team and so far, the only thing i DON"T like is the lack of special attackers and 2 dragon dancers. I just won one recently and suprised a player with temper flare gyarados on their ferrothorn, prob may fav jump scare today. who shou;d i change to be a special attacker tho and other changes?

Made this trick room team, struggles bad with mega Lopunny but idk what to add to fix that
maybe try a enamorus therian over exploud close combat is way to free into your team right now and being able to throw off a moonblast for free on that cc will fix the lopuny problem another thing you could try is tera types that resist fighting

tusk is a questionable slot on anything not named ho because it doesn't really do much distinct from lando aside from spin; i'd just make it a fog lando here + make ferro stealth rock > spikes
ferro should be using a spread of 252 HP / 40 Def / 216 SpD with an impish nature as well, let's it pivot in on stuff like ogerpon and dnite more frequently
dnite can just be a galarian slowking as this lacks counterplay to iron valiant otherwise, and im pretty sure you forgot evs on mega mawile. make that knock off > fire fang as well, more useful for basically any slower target (ferro and sciz dislike it as well anw)
I had an idea but idk
Hoopa unbound can steal an item with a move if it lacks one
so i was thinking to run a Z move with it
do big damage then yoink an item

Put this team together last night, it's a combination of the best parts of the last few teams I've come up with
I think it's a decent amount more coherent than the rillaboom ones I like and it's got a pretty positive win rate around 1500-1550 on ladder so far
Good matchups into pretty much all weather and stall
I think it's a bit weak to offense and stuff like psyspam but if I play well zama can easily steal a game against a team who's only got physical attackers or steel resists left
I think there’s a couple things you can change about this like for example, Lando would be better than Tusk for a team like this, as Tusk is only seen on offensive teams
also glow king should always run regenerator as curious medicine is kind of useless in singles. also a move like slack off or thunder wave might be a better choice than toxic spikes. if you want some sort of hazard on the enemy team, you could try replacing taunt with stealth rock on heatran
u lose to a lot of big phys attackers like lop and the like and u have no proper speed control

oh no i have to do my job
diff tz/ they cope cuz they’re helping
uhm
i don’t see anything too out of place
seems well balsnced
my only issue is u get 6-0d by gouging fire
Par tera dragon zapdos
ooo
Twave > flamethrower on glowking imo
all right, I’ll make that adjustment
I just like surprise hitting guys like thorn
it’s always funny
yeah, but wild charge counters. A lot of normally problematic guys in my experience.
that the other moves don’t cover
then I can just swap to a pivot/defensive when they tried to switch to ground
i’ll agree that thunder wave is probably better than heat wave in this scenario though
crunch is pretty debateable but as I already have zap, I should probably go crunch
I appreciate the help
no u dont
definitely going to keep ice fang on Zama though, so I can kill Gliss and chipped flying types
bye byeeee
i’m reporting h
https://pokepast.es/04704b0ea2cf60a4 something like this should be better? t-wave + an extra fast mon for more speed control, more reliable hazards, extra pivoting
not going regenerator on glowking was the 4am me forgetting to change it
intim on lando also helps with the physical attacker problem, I think zama + intim should be more than enough

putting landorus > gliscor shld be enough to get u a very solid standard offense team
gliscor is a bit passive here, lando intim and uturn go a long way
the zama set is a little outdated, nowadays they tend to run stuff like heavy slam and crunch > wild charge, esp since future sight lele breaks pex for u
