exca
ttar
litterally anything that wants to switch in
cant you just focus blast them
focus miss
simply knock and spikes
I think it orginally had Gknot but that kinda sucks
i think
tbolt is quite useful
and nothing really switches into thund really
i kinda feel like
youd rather be killing shit
fair
it beats greninja and hydrapple
which are problems for this atm
ic
also
Found that team
it was gknot, volt, u-turn, knock
Idk what I was cooking
thats like
a sword and shield thundurus set
wait what
u had volt switch and u turn
😭 😭 😭
thats okay teambuilding is hard
im having a think
about what to do with this team
the lati one
call me crazy
but im thinking about fezandipiti over torn and scarf hydreigon over latios
i think that would be a better team but it does not have a specs latios so ill think some more
also i think that soul dew is probably better than specs anyways
ftr
more flexible
less reliant on prediction
and recover is makes it more useful defensively
ic ic
and its still super fucking strong
Fez does sound interestng
Could it handle the trio of Weavile, Quaquaval and Lokix?
even if you just did fezandipiti over torn kept lati and did like
Ogerpon (F) @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Defiant
Tera Type: Grass
EVs: 192 Atk / 100 Def / 216 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Ivy Cudgel
- Spikes
- U-turn
- Synthesis
this goofy ogerpon set
maybe could be good
umm it doesnt really handle duck or weavile great
its mainly compressing a hydrapple and greninja check into one
and lokix
Ah ok
Still it does sound pretty cool
Fez can also use alluring voice to deal with nasty plot hydrapple
Or a quaquaval +1 speed
Fezandipiti (M) @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Toxic Chain
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 248 HP / 132 Def / 16 SpD / 112 Spe
Calm Nature
- U-turn
- Moonblast
- Taunt
- Roost
this set probably, i suggested hydreigon because it can revenge excadrill and does better into skeledirge
but taunt dipiti can help into the dirge mu a bit
skull
@foggy swallow got a question about the fez taking on hydrappale, greninja and lokix
Why not tornadus-T
It might not handle greninja but it can run assault vest and knock off
Fez can run calm mind to improve its attack and its high special defense
It can be great against other special attackers like Tornadus-T, Latios etc?
sometimes fezandipiti fits the team better
torn has to be assault vest to beat like hydrapple and gren
which means you need to run hazard removal
which is hard to come by
yeah
Actually now I'm kind of curious about Fezandipiti
It could handle Lokix, Quaquval and Weavile
possible stall out Tornadus-T and Greninja
Taunt and u-turn from Heatran, Can heal with Recover
It does have to deal with Excadrill and Latios tho, and the other steel types
And gard
Gardevoir?
Thought she was in RU
Oh yeah cause of like sand rush
is it really though
you need to run focus blast
and the combo of excadrill av torn and dirge expecially kinda just
doesnt let you do much
its like kinda okay into hydrapple but fears specs grass move still, fears slowking twave
i feel like it really doesnt abuse trace well
thund t can sludge bomb
and i dont think you can get moonblast sweeps as easily as you could in previous metagames
Doesn't sand run like skarm, heatran, and dirge, or kix... even then 50 50 with moonblast vs focus is not very fun
Ladder is a weird place
Stuff like Doniphan is uu
This trio
Do they make up like a bulky archetype of the metagame
this + ttar is the backbone of standard sand
which is super common
and yeah
torn exca is the like premier core of sv uu
Hm
Quaquaval could take them out right with aqua step, close combat and triple axel
Greninja could do but ttar can be a problem
Then again, in the worst case scenario that it gets banned
i feel like
you are thinking too much of how these match up in a vacuum
like dirge can tera to beat it
and sand teams dont ngive duck very good in opportunities since tar runs twave
and it has good ways to revenge it
with sand drill keldeo vacuum wave
hydrapple tera
or whatever
but yeah duck can sometimes
have a field day into sand if the conditions are right
Hmmmmm
Is it like saying it's much more complex in practice than in theory
im just saying on paper it goobs all these pokemon but in practise it will not happen that commonly
yeah
Hm
That's fair

With jungle healing and leftovers, bulk up may be an option for zarude making it harder to revenge kill

replaced washtom with torn-T
deals better with sinistcha
I'm thinking maybe Ditto can be an idea as well
thinking about salamence as well
ended up landing on calm mind coballion, looks better and doesn't make my team super weak to weavile, gonna test it later
umm
look bro i dont even know where to start with this
alrighty so
to start off with comfey is really a hyper offense mon
its not that great on other styles
its like a pretty all in type of mon and a huge tera hog
hard to get switchin opportunities too
i like the synergy between lokix thund and rotom
i think
donphan is kinda bad and you probably want to make it into a rapid spin quaquaval
and drop the rotom
but fitting 2 electric types can have some akward defensive problems
if you want to keep the pivoting of rotom you can go with aqua step u turn rapid spin roost
otherwise close combat knock off and triple axel if you really hate hydrapple are your options
in rotoms place id probably do an assault vest tornadus
this pairs well with rapid spin quaq and patches up some holes you know
makes sense
I did like Comfey as anti lokix and gren tech
and it needs stealth rock somewhere
but lokix does it as well I guess, just needs something to pivot on
for sure
im feeling like clodsire is a bit passive for the style right
so i think
perhaps ogerpon grass + arcanine hisui could be good lasts?
instead of comfey and clod I'm guessing?
yeah
like torn thund oger harc quaq kix
heatran is probably a better option than harc actually
thinking about it
since latios seemed annoying with harc
and maybe send it when its done so i can have a check
no worries
probably want taunt heatran if you are struggling with sinistcha i wanna say
makes sense, the team is quite better at dealing with it now
in the one I sent, lokix was the best at hitting it
okay so i feel like sash deo speed is kinda cringe
since its a pretty bulky mon you might want to just bulk it out and give it like
red card??
i think lucha sucks
unless its on psy terrain
its a massive tera hog on psy terrain anyway
what for
also i think excadrill is probably not the steel type for this team
i think you might want like
revavroom since you have a lokix and gren to force tera fairies
and lokix can beat skarmory for vroom
you probably still want temper flare though since
tera steel rotom is very common as an answer
i think if you want a funny fighting type tera hog sweeper
do lilligant hisui or slither wing instead
slither wing revavroom has good synergy
you probably want a polteagiest since this is hazard stack btw
id do that in place of either quaquaval or greninja
or keep both and put one in the lucha slot if you want
but like hisui lilligant hazard stack sounds kinda heat
ho
are you happy with me @tribal laurel
this is solid
but you have double stealth rock
and i think that heatran set is kinda not it right
you dont want your heatran to be a grass type
then it doesnt check shit
id make it a bit bulkiier and also do like will o wisp taunt or dragon pulse or something in the terablast slot
get rid of rocks drill aswell by the way
like in my opinion
the secret to uu
is that if you have to run rocks excadrill
you should rebuild your team
sd all day
make it offensive too
make heatran tera fairy for sure too
this team is worried about weavile
probably water tera hydrapple aswell
and water/fairy on zarude since poison isnt tooo useful anymore
probably water
water zarude is really good in my opinion right now
but people dont run it fsr
I just send it here again?
i think maushold is hyper offense exclusive
and its like almost mandatory with a sd lokix
buttt i can try
probably dm it to me so everyone doesnt get an annoying ping
I was thinking so too yeah
H lilligsnt is always a secret mid tier in my eyes
Uu cord just doesn't know
thats above my pay grade
Okies
(0$ an hour)
what were they cooking with this
hydreigon is a good idea i like that pairing
i dont think that you want encore on a more bulky maushold team
Thanks for the criticism
id probably go u turn
Idk what it is rn but it's super odd
It looks like a bulk structure a bit with Doniphan, rotom w and clod
hl i just gave them like a essay on their team
But it also has lo comfey whi h is odd
already
so you dont just get fucked by cobalion or dirge switching in and can actually capitalise on them coming in
Thundy t and rotom w is asking for bad clod problems
A d zarude is a pain
I'd prob make comfy a cobalkon so u don't get torn one by a zarude or ogerpin
I'd also likely either drop thundy t or rotom w. As with one of them you are overlapping less
Tho I like thundy t and lokix so I feel dropping rotom for quaq and getting smth like ur own scarf zarude can likely help
Maybe a scarf Shao or another scarfer so ur not reliant on kix for every form of spedd
buddy you are wasting your effort i think
some changes have been amde already, but I won't say no to more ideas
i dont even know where to start with this one either
probably use more viable pokemon
theres this one regieleki thundurus team
let me see if i can find it
This does indeed feel niche asf
But it's made by bfm
And I do remember mespirit being ranked in current gen
At some point as a result of this
Is this good In tour? Ur likely gambling on smth u don't want to
Is this as viable as tr gets? Likely

this teams very out there but its good
try copying it from the replay if you like
i dont have the paste unfortunately
ohhh its trick room
wait ngl im stupid and just looked at it and decided it was bad before having a closer look
hatterene is probably better
oh thanks
i remember esta i think talking about some form of t spike + thunder cage team
well there you go bebo
thats hella cheesy
i scoured everything idk if esta act used it
i have no idea where to look
cuz idk when it dropped
sooo, QOB, if you rate everyone then wdyt of this https://pokepast.es/48f38efd5dc695d8 . Either way unsure if quaq spinner is better than exca and try to work around that instead of stacking 2 mons weak to fighting, drill, and hate water types

oh cool
i like synergy bgetween deoxys and keldeo
thats cool
this team seems quite solid hl
i think you should be
rock slide excadrill probably
and also be more offensive
and perhaps like tera electric torn
im just scared about thundurus right
i act had a thought of tera dragon torn
covers 2 things
- water moves
more specifically quaq aqua step + covers smth like paralysis
- dragon is an intersting def typing
btw why rock slide drill?
thundurus
thats the only reason
look you can make the judgement call to keep it iron head
i might just be being paranoid
about that matchup
i thought about opposing zarude, sinistcha, and hydrapple
but they sound painful
hmm maybe
id need to run more tetss
either way about the eleki + t spikes i heard be talked about
i like the sound of dragon torn kinda
but it not resisting greninja ice beam is like
kinda annoying
true but with keld, deo s threatenig superpower, and hazards i guess yeah...
i guess ice beam doe slook scary
but tera elec takes a crap ton from surf no?
ill run a couple of tests with tera elec
not really
its like
35
i think
252 SpA Life Orb Greninja Surf vs. 252 HP / 64 SpD Assault Vest Tera Electric Tornadus-Therian: 110-133 (30.3 - 36.7%) -- 54.7% chance to 3HKO
hmm alr then
+1 252 SpA Life Orb Greninja Surf vs. 252 HP / 64 SpD Assault Vest Tera Electric Tornadus-Therian: 165-196 (45.5 - 54.1%) -- 45.3% chance to 2HKO
more scared about aqua step tho
but i guess at +1 deo-s can come in and clap it
and keldeo with vacuum wave can threatn it
i think quaquaval will probably triple axel your torn anyway
the sd ones run that alot
u have revenging options and tera options into it
water or electric on this team though
is best i reckon
oo alright
ngl im not really sure where to go with your team
i just rated like 5 things im like burnt out of rating for the moment
i get that, take your time though. i dont know if its a good team or not, i got it for secret santa
gotcha

Made this doubles team while bored, and I wanted to use offensive araquanid. How'd I do?
pls playtest teams before posting them, araquanid is OU, and thus isn't legal.
if this is for doubles rather than UU, then this is the wrong channel
and even for doubles this team is flawed

I'll rate this when I get gome
i quite like the latios weavile pairing
id consider running some funky weavile set like terablast ground so you can lure steels on this sincce you have a lati
id probably make lati recover flip turn luster draco with soul dew
i dont really like specs
it restricts you alot and the power boost is not that relavent
im afraid the cornerstone probably wont be able to fit here
it provides zero defensive utlitiy
i reckon
you should swap cornerstone for a spdef rotom wash
make tinkaton stealth rock over encore
and make excadrill into zarude

Yeah I'll get to this when I get home
this isnt really a proper compeditive team, its just pokemon i like, and i would appreciate advice on how to improve it while keeping the pokemon. Thanks
yeah this isnt even uu legal
probably dont post your team in the team rating channel if your goal isnt for it to be competitively viable
i think having so many choice items puts you at a disadvantage since you have to predict so much
i normally keep it to 2 maximum
The idea is if you hit hard enough you don't need to predict as much, even a resisted hit is going to do a big chunk
the teams quite slow i reckon
i suppose
It definitely is slow, can't argue with that
I'm not as worried about this with azumarill since its stab types are pretty good, but with hydrapple being choice locked into a move with an immunity can be a big deal
also i think you should have some speed on your mons
like no speed torn is super bad
i also think torn should probably be av
and tera steel
hydrapple should probably have some speed and tera steel or fairy
exca should be tera ghost
whats psychic on torn for?
this is a fine team though if you just change the teras and put some speed on torn
192+ speed
It was for toxapex specifically I think, I really wasn't sure at all on torn's moveset
Sounds good, thanks so much for the advice
no worries
mb i made it for national dex and its uu in nat dex so i thought it was legal for gen 9

No idea

-
lack of a good exca switch in. I would likely not use tinkaton on a team that gives such free entry and struggles with exca. one of my main gripes with tink is this.
-
av azu is really meh, its struggling to switch in on hazards and with skarm just keeping them up you are never really gonna take good advantage of this
-
You really wanna have some slow pivots for h-arc to come in. This feels like an offensive structure that lacks the stuff for it
sooo
one suggestion is maybe phys def slowking > azu, this gives you a better switch in into most exca and can allow you to pivot h-arc in slowly
another suggestion is running some form of taunt torn-t over tinknaton maybe, while lokix and h-arc can cover offense well they thud into fat
so taunt torn t can really send a stall team packing if playd well
i wanna also comment on soul dew > choice specs, this makes it easieer to play around and not have to 50/50 ur way through stuff like fez + slowking
so
def slowking > av azu
soul dew latios > choice specs latios
taunt torn-t > tinkaton
in my opinion would be positive changes
@frail burrow
hdb and taunt is either focus or knock

mandi as sole removal with CB kix is asking for dire trouble esp since mons like heatran really hate spikes
fastest mon being keld is troublesome as you can really struggle to apply pressure esp against smth like latios who can just dunk on ur team. I find mandi hard to work around, you can make mandi work but in a meta with taunt torn-t, coba, tinkaton, and tera poisons i feel u turn is jus tbetter
So my thoughts on it are
u-turn > toxic on mandi
maybe taunt torn-t > tink as i feel keld being fastest mon kinda sucks. I was also thinking potential fez > mandibuzz as well.

My team got wiped somehow and I couldn’t remember all of it so it is in SHAMBLES but here it is anyway https://pokepast.es/e0b9bd0794396b2c
ttar, Scizor and excadrill were definitely on it and cyclizar definitely wasn’t, not sure about the others
New [Gen 9] UU RMT @lean monolith, @wispy peak, @trim snow, @foggy swallow, @brazen veldt, @lucid storm. I won't notify you again for at least 6 hours.
no ground immune is super rough, the exca MU is is dire. Also a lot of sets are all over the place like scizor, tar, and exca being odd
I think the team is just all over the place, it feels like it has no direction
the team looks workable but i feel the defensive backbone is non existant. Lokix comes in and you are sacking a mon basically, or maybe zarude and u gotta trade ur own zarude for it. It feels you are trying to out offense a team with basically nothing to lean back on.
I would make cornerstone a rotom-w and meta a pickpocket tinnk as this allows u to be more reslient. And i think torn-t > Sciz might be a change i like as this gives you some defensive presence or maybe zapdos-g as a scarfer here
If you wanna keep sciz you can make it boots but you have an annoying dirge MU i feel like esp vs a tera one
I think t wave is better on slowking as this preps you against stuff like gren better esp since BB gren kinda runs you over here, esp since you have nothing for it
I would maybe make skarms rocks and give gren spikes as this allows you to keep rocks and allow to set spikes up to pressure stuff like tink more with dark pulse and smack stuff like zarude much more with surf
This also looks annoying into hydrapple but that is more so nitpicky as i feel slowking gives way to much entry to a NP hydrapple and depending ont he tera it can run circles and its bukly enough to force trades
oop I do get owned by BB Gren, overlooked Twave with such a fast core
will do the changes!
Oh my god some actual team advice
Thanks man
then don’t ask for help because it’s true
you have no ground resist making the team weak to excadril
ur zor is max hp sd 3a
ur tar is running outrage and avalanche
and crunch > knock
and that’s just the first 2 mons
trying to say how the team would be better would likely require restructing the team but fine
- the ev's, set, and moves are all over the place. A more sp. def ttar set in the analysis would likely suit this just fine
- Scizor is often not ran on such teams because it is a steel that doesnt do much to help here esp to deal with the checks that threatening exca
- CB exca is very bad, you are locked and you are just gonna be thudding into resists quite often, you want SD to really help you
- BD azu isnt very good, its weairng itself down by sand and additional chip and often will just result in itself being way to weak, a defensive pokemon like rotom-w is much better
- Clodsire has no recover which means ist just gonna die, either way this team is to fast paced for clodsire
- Idk what cyclizar is trying to do
Yeah I kinda forgot that clod learns recover
Cyclizar was originally for shed tail but when I realised that can only be used in Ubers it kinda just fell apart
New [Gen 9] UU RMT @lean monolith, @wispy peak, @trim snow, @foggy swallow, @brazen veldt, @lucid storm. I won't notify you again for at least 6 hours.
that is a dire exca MU. I think draco + tbolt latios is way out of date and just not very good anymore esp when there are other forms of countermeasures.
I think tink on a team that cant really let exca come i n often isnt very good... you alr have stealth rock coba so this can be smth like a slowking which gives u a heatran switch that isnt latios
I think sandy shocks is also odd (its wlaled by hydrapple which is painful). SO likely changing it to either be a booster tera ice set or maybe just boots tera ice is better. Esp since this team doesnt like giving turns to a mon like latios, or hydrapple
I think scarf zarude is outdated, u can maybe keep it but would make it tealpon instead as scarf zarue just is very annoyed by skarm, fez, and often is a u turn bot
Sooo
soul dew latios > CM tbolt latios
Slowking or maybe smth else > Tink
Ice beam > Shuriken allows u to hit torn t harder and threaten hydrapple or clodsire more easily
Tealpon > Scarf zarude
just got into pokemon again but this time battling
ive only really done this for a few days so any recommendations or fixes for my UU team?
and also is there any way could i improve my team building and their coordination?
none of the moves correlate with eachother
Physical moves on specs?
Scarf Sandstorm?
Choice band and Swords Dance?
The choices of mons aren’t bad, and I don’t want to be mean, but you need to start from scratch with this
K
rn it feels u slotted rnadom stuff on it, there is no direction on the team and i wish you could explain why its the way it is. it feels way to all over the place to really give concrete advise
whats tealpon?
It was just a team I made off of some pokemon I selected for seeing how it works n everything, any videos you recommend to like get better at team building or do I just gain it my feedback and making teams
Generally id use sample teams to get started and ask people around. Some sample teams become oudated quite quickly but generally they are usable to an extent. They help u ease into the meta and then u can use hot stuff

New [Gen 9] UU RMT @lean monolith, @wispy peak, @trim snow, @foggy swallow, @brazen veldt, @lucid storm. I won't notify you again for at least 6 hours.
on such a team i feel focus blast keld is better @chrome narwhal , i also feel ur very weak to rotom-w with all members getting farmed by it. I would use rotom-w, maybe latios, or some form of deternent against it
I think heatran > tink as it helps the skarm MU which is also annoying
i think weavile doesnt fit, ur stacking 3 fighting weaknesses
i dont really like the sash excadrill
it should be balloon or something
i reckon the weavile slot should be a hydrapple and the tink should be a heatran
this is so you dont lose to excadrill and heatran is just a bit less passive than tink for a sand team
i also dunno about dd tar, i heard it might be usable and esp with the boot of quaq it might have merit
not a team rate but is ability shield rotom just a stupid gimmick or a viable strategy
it’s good for exca
Yeah but is it really worth it over longevity
With lefties
Or a helmet
If its really for one mon i think its a dumb gimmick and i just wanna verify that
its viable but u better have smth to take on torn
also weavile
heatran, gren, scizor... u have to make sure u arent just getting kncoekd in the exca mu
u generally force exca out
I see u discuss the exca MU so much
exca generally can run away with games
esp without skarm
and u def dont want to be one flinch away or 50/50 a tera
sd drill is still scary
Exca to me feels like a two turn tony
Sometimes it can win but
Other times it hits the field and just falls over
eh
idk how often that happens
u need a skarm to really make it flop
even then stuff like tera ghost and +2 iron head flinches can really brute force it
and skram isnt the worst thing to wear down
it is crazy (i made that team uwu)

what does revavroom do?
this is what im thinking rn
excadrill helps with poison types, provide SR and rapid spin, thundurus deal with bulky water, and if god forbid excadrill goes down, becomes electric magnet
heatran deals with grass and ESPECIALLY lokix
latios is strong pivot and speed control overall with choice scarf, and coballion debuffs with thunder wave and has rocky helmet
might switch the hazards around so maybe one of them can do spikes
not ho…

sobbing
i'll try this, thx ^^
ofc
its my fav rogue boi
it’s definetly worse than it was at the beginning at the gen
in the times we had to use ballon to cope with chomp
on non ho/non drum is what i meant
then it +2 steel iron head through
i tried using boots…
it’s
a pokemon
on paper it’s not bad
bulkyish water with knock and prio
i’d rather use boots keldeo
but it’s just piss weak with no boost
speed and flip turn are more important
ye
av is
useable
but broken spikes…
it’s like
fine
because it can do a lot better into torn
and lati
and opposing keld
destroys gren
unless it’s gunk (fake)
Remade this offense azu team, feedback would be appreciated!

i remember @open seal telling me belly drum might be better for azumarill, but that kinda limits its ability to switch in and out in a less HO playstyle, i was wondering if its better to keep it as a choiced wallbreaker or make it a belly drum with this setup?
you don’t really switch in and out with ho 😭
it’s probs best as cb here but it’s kinda
meh
This isnt ho is it?
nuh
looks like offense to me
not hyper offense
band azu scarf lati no presence of a suicide lead defensive tran
What can i do to improve it
Do i need to change some of yhe members? Add suicide lead?
I meant it to do alot of damage and switch to defensive options when possible, but smth tells me these mons arent meant to tank much save for tran
even azumarill is kinda ehhh
maybe assault vest would be better? idk...
So I had an idea for UU on using eviolite misdreavus as a pseudo exca check with will o wisp and hex, since this thing can be surprisingly bulky and is immune to spin (and earthquake if its the sand mu)
I think cobalion works well as a knock absorber for the team and ogerpon checks the mold breaker exca
any suggestions for mons that would round this team out?
thundurus looks great here too
idk i haven’t played uu in over a year
ok this team is somewhat workable but 1. I dont like non focus thundy-t
2. with 2 priority users i may move away from scarf latios as it feels overkill
3. ur defense against things such as trailblaze zarude isnt the best and u def can get smoked by trialblaze -> SD -> tera SD -> going ham
A suggestion i have is to maybe shift from lokix -> Rotom-W as this gives you a water resist that doesnt feel like it crimbles quickly
and Focus on THundy-T
Focus misses a lot, but i see ur point.
Another thing i changed is av azu, i foind it to be rlly good, so is the change still aplicable there?
I'd love to run rotom w, any suggestion for the moveset?

why double rocks
also dual stabs sd spiky oger is kinda dix
tbh spiky is only rlly good on ho
but yeah half of this team gets shit on by cobal
you have 0 weav awnser outside of kix
opposing oger-c looks spooky
weav+polt spikes 6-0s
you also have no real breaker
kix ig?
not even pick pocket tink
also if tink dies
you just kinda lose to every dark type+tera
I've tried rotom w, the problem im facing is without lokix im losing a lot of offensive momentum, and this is meant to be an offensive team, zarude is a problem but i can pbbly sac mth to send either lokix or thundurus in to finish it off, thoights?
I also decide to use soul dew latios instead of choice, less limited option and more momentum, its fast enough as is anyways
hw>fb on torn is fine
i was talking about thundy-t
but yes i guess heat wave can work on torn t
oh yeah non fblast thund is fishy af
yeah esp since drill can run over the team if it gets free turns vs thundy-t
nad a lot of them try to spin vs it
so what you’re saying is
swap exca for cobal
use pickpocket tink with air balloon
use stomping on oger
something like that

that looks way more solid
Actually yeah... that happens to me a lot
Should i still change lokix to rotom tho? I didnt encounter a lot of zarude, 2 at max between yesrerday and today
Of the uu mons i find myself having a lot of trouble with ogerpon c, gastrodon, opposing excadrill and heatrans

this team feels clunky
idk what abt it
but it just
feels bad
I mean they have an AV torn, Pon, and boots-less Keld with no removal
Yh bro WTF😭
?
choice scarf ogerpon feels weird at best
it feels like "why do this"
Id replace draco on drei with t wave
rhyperior feels weird to... its not common
its very outdated it feels like esp into a meta with rotom-w, skarm, and knock everywhere
and no one to really check
the skarm and ogerpon def need changing
boots ogerpon and spikes skarmory > ID
is def what i would do here
@cinder osprey
I have a p successful time with this tean @open seal suggested me a while ago, its rlly good but im having some trouble wirh opposing lokix and stuff like bulky pokemon such as toxapex, any suggestions?

dont like u-turn cornerstone on such a team, same with boots kix. I would make it SD Corner with maybe trailblaze/superpower last or maybe spiky shield for the abudance of lokix that u are gonna see
Azu should also be BD instead, with quaq gone its an ok mon
I dont like comfey, ithink its a huge tera hog and a big waste. Its fine if u wanna keep it
SD lokix puts a lot more pressure
I think the sets are super odd but it looks ok...
although u kinda get clapped by any ground type...
which is exca and with comfey around this isnt super fun
act with 1 special attacker ur gonna have problems
azu -> manaphy
is a good choice
Oh...oh wait so thats why i was having so much trouble with lokix
I guess fair but i was trying to build a team around azumarill
hmmm maybe have a flame charge dirge somewhere
Wait edym double dance?
agility nplot
Thundy keeps dying ehenever i try to set up tho
A lot of the time i have issues with ppl stopping my sweep due to priority, like with lokix
So idk how helpful smth like thundy is gonna be
New [Gen 9] UU RMT @lean monolith, @wispy peak, @trim snow, @foggy swallow, @brazen veldt, @lucid storm. I won't notify you again for at least 6 hours.
I modified the team based on tbe advice, but im not sure what to do with the skeledirge, is this moveset ok?
I feel like im doing worse with this comp
Also how exactly do u use lokix with swords dance? Im very used to using first impression above all else
focus blast > sludge bomb as it helps with steels and general grounds like exca. BD azu > AV azu... uh not really, unsure what the spread is rn
I think swapping dirge fo rsmth else since idk the flame charge spread. I think u can replace it with idk revavroom or maybe iron jugulis
also sd > stomping on cornerstone
I see
That will make every pokemon a setup sweeper no?
Also belly drum sweeper is a bit predictable in my experience
I miss focus blast twice in a row
This feels rlly unreliable
Is there other alternatives to thundy? Or is smth like grass knot acceptable?
Cuz im not running smth that has what feels like 50% accuracy
Watch a replay of a Pokémon battle between Lilligantlover3 and wavestrider! Format: [Gen 9] UU; Date: Apr 2, 2025
This is how i play my team, its why i have comfey cuz sometimes enemy sweeps is hard to stop and priority is what helps me stop it
Or just in general prevent enemy from setting up
It does hit a wall against any steel, poison and fire type, which js why revavroom is therr initially
But idk how else to improve the team, so far the swords dance on ogerpon hasnt done anything yet, belly drum is good i guess but thats only if the enemy has no grass type
My azu was initially only meant to cripple enemy team through surprise factor and come in and out because it has either assault vest or leftovers
Im so confused with these new changes, thundurus is neat yeah but its rlly damn frail and not fast enough
yes that’s the point of ho

here the double dance thundy-t spread btw
I did tinker with thundurus but i cant seem to make it work
Its too frail like i said, but i'll try that in a bit
In the meantime, wb tornadus?
Its faster and bulkier
wb?
What about
Why?

No slack off?
But its not fast either
flame charge
yes it requires a high skill level to make work and even then its value can be middling
Right...
Thats why i've been using av
not my set
idt av is good on ho
but if it works
shrug
If i replace torn with thun, does this work?
ye it looks fine
If i wanna use skeledirge which should i replace?
Maybe comfey?
Ckmfey is neat but it gets walled hard by revavroom and heatran
Well sometimes i already terra smth else
then don’t try and sweep with comfeee
doesnt this get swept by TB zarude
btw ive seen taunt being dropped
idt we have hazard removal so people drop taunt on their deo s
psycho boost allows u to snipe stuff
i would say CM enamorus > comfey as this allows u to just not die right away
to zarude
comfey is ass in my opiniiion
better off using smth else
its a huge tera hog
some ppl suggest i drop revavroom
gonna use those to add excadrill
the reason i use comfey is for its priority, is there a rlly fast pokemon or another priority spammer?
hmm i disagree
its very good at pressuring stuff
exca is kinda meh
on ho
ive seen it be used
not convinced tho
So im confused cuz im receiving ehat feels like contradictory advice
I agree that exca is kinda underwhelming in ho
I will use reva again, but idk what to fill for the last spot
Thisbis what i had, not sure what to replace comfey with
Scarf latios?
Why do u need taunt on comfey?
The reason comfey is so useful to me is it has 2 variety of priority type
Someone suggested it, im rlly confused...

Hi everyone sorry to bother y’all, but can someone guide me or help me with making a UU team based around Volcanion ?? I would really appreciate it thank you
I know 😢 but he’s my favorite mythical and I like more Pokémon in the UU tier which is why I want to make a team around it
i see
teir shifts make things funky
but its probs best as a bulky bruiser type mon

oh ffs
havent built with meow yet but this looks
ok
might be worth dropping exca and and going boots torn
idrk
😃
So what would you recommend in place of excadrill then??
Btw thank you I love the team
I was thinking if you wanted to drop drill maybe adding Hydrapple
apple works
🤣🤣
your ground options are
Clod
still has the same issues as drill if not more
or Donphan
(bad)
Since ground options are bad how about keeping drill and replacing meow with hydrapple
Yeah i tested it and your right lol
esp on a team with volc
Instead of Volcanion how would you do a Deoxys team but not spikes
where it can just mash steam for burns
A nasty plot set
👍🏽
Ok how about a Deoxys lo team?? What do you recommend?? I know I wanna put torn on there
And Hydrapple
ye
torn apple is a solid core
probs a scarfer well you have deo so mayb not
a bulky pivot guy
rocks
Guys, whats a common spike stack core?
Someone mentioned av azu might work in that kind of team i wanna know what fits with it
Torn+Apple+Rocks Guy+Bulky Water+Spiker+Speed control
I like pairing spikes with thundy t and maybe knock meow in this day
U kinda smack everything and u just need to make sure not to give exca free turn
Alrighty, thx guys

this is a bulky balance spikestack team im making, i want to put azumarill as one of the pokemon but i havent tested it yet, anything else im missing?
what
flower trick meow is kinda bad
explain why iron press is dog shit
tera ghost drill is stupid common
and you just spike on the ghost type
ur telling me iron press skarm has never been good
bro said uwu
it’s bad in uu because of its mu vs tera drill?
just run helmet
and then it punishes the spin
and you just spike at that point
it’s also dog shit into torn
apple
it still gets that?
that you get more value out of a phasing move
you have no fucking clue what your talking about
yes
which is why i’m asking and not arguing
but it can’t be good into everything then it would be broken
should phasing move be used on 100% of teams
on hstack yes
i was about to look through the uu mons to see what iron press skarm is bad into
but ps died
so
yay
womp womp
it’s back now
but it’s probably like everything except for ghosts torn thundy clod comfey and haze pex
it gets haze still right
tera fairy
wow there is quite a fighting weakness in the tier
just give your fighting type knock and it’s running circles
what switches into conk
would trick meow be a funny way to deal with kix
anything because it hits like a wet noodle uninvested
also torn
rotom-w
zarude
pex
keld
mixed gren is absolute dogwater who thought of that
wow
never cook again
oh, whirlwind it is then?
boots cobal is bad? what do i do for the stealth rock setter then?
its meant to continuously set hazard even if enemy removes them, 2 spikes is fine imo
what should i replace it with?
also keep in mind this is meant to be a bulky balance spike stack team, its why i dont run heatran
or is sandy shocks better than cobal?
so smth liek this? idk if there's any viable stealth rock setter in uu
tornadus feels like it opens up a lot of weaknesses

Ok whats wrong >_<
What did i do wrong?
idk
i just wanted to haha
sorry gang
well
you did something wrong
i just
don’t have the energy to explain
Is it a big wrong?
i’m tired of sugar coating it
azu is ass
belly drum is useable
but av is just bad
the rest of the team is hugely flawed in its own right
but azu is bad and if you keep using it your team will never be optimal
Ok...what is the bad part for the rest of the team?
Gotcha
boots coba is just kinda not what it wants to do.... it gets mroe from lefties or helmet, its just what does boots do against non skarm / HO mu's?
Iron press skarm is just kinda meh now, run WW on it for anti setup as iron press into rotom-w or slowking is not fun. Brave bird is better esp into stuff like hydrapple, tera fairy zarude, fez, latios, etc
Azu feels weird, av hasnt been ood in a while and on a team with no removal it feels even worse, idk what is the goal here
This team really struggles into torn-t and stuff like fez bullying ur coba, sinistcha, and skarm, latios also clicks buttons and claims victims
the team feels like it doesnt have much synergy
with a lot of boots mons u kinda get stomped by knock off + hazards
what’re are some good defogers?
Mandibuzz
Gweez is ok
Zor Conk and Lucha are horrible at fogging
Talon is
a pokemon
there arent really any
ur best bet is to removal with drill
mandi can remove but good god its annnoying to support
it "beats" exca but none of our rockers really are mons who can really play the long game out
