merry merlin
#

jk lmao

#

who needs rocks

chrome narwhal
#

every team

merry merlin
chrome narwhal
#

maybe not webs

#

or some shit

merry merlin
#

if anything, id run toxic spikes over rocks

chrome narwhal
#

holy shit this guy doesnt play any past gen of rocks

#

either way

#

rocks will literally cripple smth like Mandibuzz

#

So

#

here’s an example

chrome narwhal
#

knock mandibuzz

#

go latios

#

specs draco

#

where’s Mandibuzz?

#

why do you think hazard stack is popular

#

or knock off is so good

#

or how every team is either boots spam or has a consistent way of removing hazards

#

Clodsire will set up rocks in your face

#

Skarmory will sit on Donphan

#

and set up spikes

merry merlin
#

you realise that changes so much of the team, and will require me to swap if say, they pull out skarm, or tink, or any steel pokemon

chrome narwhal
#

after spikes

#

chrome narwhal
merry merlin

#

We recommend changes to your team

#

And these are the changes

#

they can be drastic

#

they can be minimal

#

it’s for making a team actually viable or good

merry merlin
#

or they can be useless

chrome narwhal
#

they had a skarm and excadrill

#

spikes

merry merlin
chrome narwhal
#

so here’s this right

#

You have donphan out

merry merlin
chrome narwhal
#

they go skarm right

#

They set up a layer

#

you go lati

#

They go drill

#

they get up rocks

merry merlin

#

nb but cobalion minds knock off

#

I mean

#

everyone

#

mb

#

Everyone minds knock but cobalion

#

and uh oh! hazards are up!

#

cobalion is now being chipped for coming in

merry merlin
chrome narwhal
#

and you send out donphan to spin
turns out they go sinistcha!
or back to skarm for more hazards!

chrome narwhal
merry merlin
chrome narwhal
#

then they swap back out to skarm or clodsire

#

Actually clod walls this set too

#

Maybe body press is bad

#

look man

merry merlin
chrome narwhal
#

what Im saying is your team has a few problems

#

and I’m offering solutions like others too

merry merlin
#

there are no teams without problesm

chrome narwhal
#

Lmao

#

Clod and Skarm switch in and out vs your team

merry merlin
chrome narwhal
#

Repeatedly

#

And why?

#

BECAUSE NO ROCKS!

#

and it’s not like banded Donphan is doing shit into Skarm bro

#

💔

merry merlin
#

and yeah, maybe ill unband him

chrome narwhal
#

There you go

#

Specs Lati and rocks Donphan can do quite a bit tg

#

Since Donphan can knock a lot and just draco is pretty strong

#

because it’s lati

#

and surf also chunking a good bit of its checks

#

luster purge is always appreciated too

merry merlin
chrome narwhal
#

that also works too

#

Flash cannon is mediocre anyways

#

but

#

why is donphan there then

Why not just run Fez

Drill and Fez

#

Over Cobalion and Donphan

merry merlin
chrome narwhal
#

w skarm?

merry merlin
chrome narwhal
#

And Fez is a tank

#

well not tank

#

but pivot

#

that also reliably heals

#

and has heat wave for Skarm

#

and beat up for spamming toxic chain

#

and uturn

merry merlin
#

hmmm

chrome narwhal
#

Drill is always consistent

#

rocking up

#

spinning

#

Also you could consider one of Fez or King to be spdef

#

Since Gren looks delicious into the team

#

protect to beat Lokix, potential tera to dodge Gapdos

#

If it isnt already down

#

Fez might like being spdef here and whatnot

#

I like SD Lokix, drill and sp def Fez along with King as your pivots, rocker, and spinner

#

And your two choiced mons in Gapdos and Lati as breakers or sweepers

#

like Lokix

#

current Lokix set can be fine tho

merry merlin
chrome narwhal
#

to say the least

#

staying in on lead lati with Fez was..

#

a choice

#

King and Exca both had that

#

lots of plays you could have done better

#

Fez could have pressured tera on Sinistcha

#

going Lokix was not a good play

#

Could have just gone fez, threaten poison and forced t-poison

#

and use Lati to boom on it basically

#

or just pressure around with rocks and whatnot

#

with Lokix knocking stuff

#

is your Lati… choiced recover?

#

It should run trick

#

yeah you could have played a lot better but it’s okay

#

it’s progress

#

just learn bit by bit

i almost won 😭 even with my mistakes. i should've used the last ice beam before slacking off

chrome narwhal

send the updated team btw

chrome narwhal
#

I like it a lot like this but I changed slowking to

#

max def max hp

#

js max max no sp def nature or evs

#

and twave to psy noise bc it felt eh to me but rlly that slot is flexible

#

honestly slack off and twave slots are flexible

#

But yeah team is strong

#

Just gotta pilot it right

#

Thinking of making Excadrill faster or Lokix into jolly but rlly js at most minor changes

#

rn your team is fine basically

#

most mons in the tier are very manageable but know this

#

your lati is one of the most important mons

merry merlin
merry merlin
#

tink

chrome narwhal
#

Like

#

nearly everything

#

and Tinkaton is getting chipped by surf/luster at the bare minimum

chrome narwhal
#

you also have enough answers into steels imo

#

the worst one probably being skarm but that shit is not tanking lati

#

not that well at least

#

Drill gets surfed obviously

#

Not much is tanking lati lol

This is my current team i wanted to center it around battle bond greninja because i like it a lot, thing is i dont know if it synergizes well with it, if there's anything i can do to make it better please let me know because i struggle a lot in low elo (i dont think its my team entirely because i am really bad strategicaly)

Hey Yall this is for doubles which I don't think has it's own thread. I was trying to make a tanky stall situation but in practice there have been weaknesses

  • Wo-chien gets one shot
  • I'm really weak to ghost moves
  • I'm really weak to electric moves

Does anyone have any ideas to improve?

i wsa thinking maybe switching the fish guy for rotom wash? im not sure if i need two earth types

#

and he dies alot to earthquakes

#

but im not sure

#

I keep dying to thunderus because he has thundebolt for skarmory and earth moves for the fish

#

So I really want to find something to beat him

#

Thank you to anyone with any suggestions and sorry If I respond late. I don't like my job

tribal laurel
#

in addition rock slide exca is bad

#

and skarm sholud change rocks -> body press

#

i htink pivots are helpful because specs volcanion and zoro h really want one

#

idk who fishy guy is

loud badger
#

Thank you friend

#

Fish guy is him

#

Should I switch for rotom

#

He has volt switch

#

Or a different pokemon

rocky glacier
#

id say make weavile band, do take rotom-w and put something else in volcanion's place
perhaps a breaker that isn't weak to electric and ground

#

or something with defog/rapid spin to compensate for loss of hdb on weavile

loud badger
#

That's a good idea

#

I feel like I usually only use one move it and switch

Scizor is a better mon for phys sweeping in me opinion cuz better defensive typing and good priority

brave plover
chrome narwhal
#

Toxapex for one is a momentum drop

#

and the Tinkaton set is unviable

#

With webs you’d want something much more offensive, like HO

#

since you run screens too just really use set up sweepers, including sd drill with mold breaker for stall

#

Pretty sure something like SD Lokix, life orb Greninja, SD Drill, etc, are all good

Thoughts on my team?

I’m specifically playing uu because hydrapple and scizor are some of my favorite Pokémon

#

I’ve had a lot of success with slowking and thunderus before and figured they fit well

#

Arcanine has been fine but I feel like I’m missing something

chrome narwhal
#

You need speed control but also something to help against Lokix endgames

#

Or even just lokix uturning on pivots

#

Band Kix with hazard control js goes super hard on this team

hard sky
#

I had band kix over scizor for a while but scizor is my favorite mon of all time and it felt weird not using it

#

I also struggled with conkeldur without iron jugilus

#

Could I run scizor and lokix?

Or if I replace scizor with lokix what do I make iron jugilus?

chrome narwhal
#

Yeah

true kestrel
true kestrel
#

I would replace gengar with skeledirge

#

Just better as a ghost type

#

Skarm is better than deoxys since it isn’t weak to knock and has better matchups into Lokix and Weavile

#

I would replace azu with keldeo, still functions as a check and is very solid in the tier

true kestrel
#

Florges is outclassed by fezandipiti in UU, as fez has roost for instant recovery

#

Mixed Gastro is weird

#

A set of recover, surf, earth power and rocks should work well here

#

Tsareena should be replaced by drill as both functions as a similar roll as spinners but drill is also a ground type and functions as a volt blocker

#

Only thing on gardevoir is to swap out psychic for psychic noise

#

Completely replace froslass

#

That set with sash is exclusively a HO lead

#

You need something that is good into scizor such as Skarm or pex

#

Back to your teak

#

Team

ancient sphinx
chrome narwhal
#

Your team is kinda mixing archetypes and it’s not lookin too great

#

I used to play uu, hit top 10 pre tar and tornt ban

#

but now I’m not too familiar with the tier

ancient sphinx
#

Bu-bb-bbb-butworrywhirl

chrome narwhal
#

I just know 3 steels in one team

#

you’re getting fucked by a fighting type

#

Like opposing specs Keldeo

#

is ruining you

ancient sphinx
#

Mmmm

#

Nuh uh

chrome narwhal
#

and usually choice mons love pivot mons

#

like chilly reception slowking

#

which your team lacks heavily in

ancient sphinx
#

But slowking Is slow

#

He aint doing jackshit

chrome narwhal
#

and that’s why slowking is good?

#

Slowking has a slow pivot + regenerator to tank hit and pivot out

#

and is not really passive

#

you have psychic noise/future sight to either prevent healing or to potentially pin and get a kill

#

and scald is burning

ancient sphinx
chrome narwhal
#

I don’t feel as if you’re too experienced in the tier, so I’d recommend sample teams

ancient sphinx
#

Excuse me?

ancient sphinx
#

At eleast i have style in my teams

chrome narwhal
#

The fact you said slowking is not doing shit

#

shows that you lack experience itself

#

no disrespect intended

chrome narwhal
ancient sphinx
#

Your team Is probably something like keldeo azumarill slowking clodsire fezandipiti and conkeldur

chrome narwhal
#

I guess bro

ancient sphinx
#

So creative

chrome narwhal
#

That kind of team is pure dogshit but I guess bro

ancient sphinx
#

Not to mention you glaze uublchomp

#

Fraudchomp

chrome narwhal
#

So are we gonna keep giving personal attacks over

#

nothing

#

or are you gonna like

#

fix ur team

#

or learn

ancient sphinx
#

YEAH I WILL blobpex

#

GIVE 4 MINUTES

chrome narwhal
#

👍

ancient sphinx
#

Ha team so good made him ghost me

chrome narwhal
#

Also you lack speed control

ancient sphinx
#

Tanking hits?

chrome narwhal
#

Clodsire also is eh here

#

You could do scarf Excadrill I believe

#

and run something as a rocker over Clod that’s just

#

less of a momentum sink

ancient sphinx
chrome narwhal
#

I also highly recommend sucker punch over axe kick on Lokix since Greninja runs protect just to dodge first impression

#

and other sweepers can be annoying after first impression is used up

chrome narwhal
#

Air slash is eh
Icy wind can be used if you want coverage for Hydrapple

#

Along with other ice weak mons

chrome narwhal
#

It’s only like what 311?

#

I’m trying to help you out

#

# vapid agate and Basculegion is bad in UU

Didn’t read this until smb replied
Yeah, Basc isn’t bad without a doubt. It can click adaptability boosted flip turn a LOT and male has some great breaking power alongside being unable to be revenged by Arcanine-H unless they tera, due to your ghost typing and aqua jet killing back if you aren’t scarf.
Not forgetting to mention it can run ice fang solely for Hydrapple, making it a great breaker of the tier if used right.

#

Only things I see being able to tank its onslaught consistently is Toxapex and Chestnaught, and problem with those answers is that Basc has a free flip turn if you pivot out and doesn’t have a single problem doing so.

#

Even Hydreigon who resists its dual stabs gets flipped turned on if it pivots in into a mon like Lokix or anything that answers it.

chrome narwhal
#

It’d need to be banded to do meaningful damage outside of Hydrapple though.

#

Eg ice fang has a bp of 65, super effective is 130 and quad effective is 260 I believe

#

So you’d only be hitting Sinistcha for about 40% max I believe without band
Lemme calc it

#

252+ Atk Basculegion Ice Fang vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Sinistcha: 98-116 (28.3 - 33.5%) -- 0.1% chance to 3HKO

#

Even less actually

#

252+ Atk Basculegion Ice Fang vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Hydrapple: 260-308 (62.5 - 74%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Only good against Hydrapple

quiet glacier
#

I think Basculegion-Female is without a doubt better

chrome narwhal
#

Simply due to ice beam, yeah

quiet glacier
#

I ran Air Balloon Agility 3a on HO before, its nice as a spinblocker vs Drill

quiet glacier
chrome narwhal
#

Now I want to try out Basc, seems very fun to use

#

Banded adapt flip turn is a button I wanna click

quiet glacier
#

This and +2 Sweepers and you got yourself a fine HO

quiet glacier
chrome narwhal
#

It’s alright, I’ll just run 3 water move and ice fang

#

or actually maybe psychic fangs for water absorb clod, not sure

quiet glacier
#

uhh i mean sure ig lol

#

why are my messages not

#

sending

merry merlin
quiet glacier
quiet glacier
#

not true at all

chrome narwhal
#

It was literally UU before Hydreigon, lmao

quiet glacier
merry merlin
#

only thing its good for is speed

quiet glacier
#

what did u use it on?

merry merlin
quiet glacier
#

why do u think its ass?

merry merlin
# quiet glacier why do u think its ass?

itst flimsy. even if it resists, it gets 2hko or even ohko by basically everyone, and it doesnt do enough damage to basically anyone, unless it hits its hurricane and is super effective. it doesnt even ohko sinistcha or dirge

chrome narwhal
quiet glacier
#

yeah its not supposed to be a setup sweeper

chrome narwhal
quiet glacier
#

if u odnt ohko cha/dirge does it matter?

#

you taunt the next turn anyways

#

fast taunt is valuable

chrome narwhal
#

Fast taunt is extremely valuable in breaking down walls

quiet glacier
#

if you WANT to you can run tera electric charge beam/work up

chrome narwhal
#

and it still while doesn’t ohko stuff like Hydreigon, it still has great coverage and can beat mons like Clodsire too

#

With taunt to prevent toxic, and immunity to eq + having ep

merry merlin
quiet glacier
#

taunting something like a pex is really good to let something like weavile/slither setup

chrome narwhal
#

It feels like you’re trying to using a galarian Moltres

quiet glacier
#

i mean like jug i can see why people find it underwhelimg, you can swap it for a gren easily

chrome narwhal
#

Without using a galarian Moltres

chrome narwhal
quiet glacier
#

but i value it bc lets say a slither gets +1 speed from flare charge im not immedieatly fried

merry merlin
quiet glacier
chrome narwhal
#

Like you gain a valuable ground immunity with Jug though

quiet glacier
#

that is true

chrome narwhal
#

and again you can 1v1 a lot of spdef walls because you prevent recovery

quiet glacier
#

gren does that too just flinch

merry merlin
chrome narwhal
#

Me when mold breaker drill

quiet glacier
#

im not risking the lati speed tie

#

and lati has no taunt either

merry merlin
quiet glacier
#

what

merry merlin
#

to be good drill needs 2 turns of setup

quiet glacier
#

and what abt just bulky drill

#

eq still chunks lati and easily 1v1s it

merry merlin
#

or 1, if you have sand

merry merlin
chrome narwhal
#

135 atk is weak I guess

quiet glacier
#

no???

#

standard set is soul dew i thought

chrome narwhal
#

If it’s spec surf then you just eq it on the switch and only pivot in when it likely doesn’t click surf

chrome narwhal
merry merlin
quiet glacier
#

yes?

merry merlin
#

very rarely

#

its specs or scarf usually

chrome narwhal
#

Common sets are soul dew scarf specs

#

All of them are common

merry merlin
#

specs is the most common though

chrome narwhal
#

Soul dew is for cm sets

#

specs for breaking

#

scarf for speed control

merry merlin
#

like, soul dew is rarely seen in top ladder

quiet glacier
#

what are you on

merry merlin
chrome narwhal
#

You gain a near life orb boost on your stabs

quiet glacier
#

soul dew is standard gang

chrome narwhal
#

How is that bad

merry merlin
#

also lorb is crazy

quiet glacier
#

yeah so surf doesnt appear in top 7 of moves

#

bc ppl opt for stabs + flip turn + trick

merry merlin
#

hm

chrome narwhal
#

Also

#

Lati and Jug

quiet glacier
#

and for soul dew sets its stabs + flip turn + recover

chrome narwhal
#

have completely different roles

merry merlin
#

i wonder what changed in the meta, cuz istg specs used to be most popular like a 2 weeks ago

chrome narwhal
#

And I’ll be sure to say this again but Lati unless it has recover does not switch into repeated eqs

quiet glacier
#

no soul dew was always standard

chrome narwhal
#

You need an actual pivot like Slowking phys def

quiet glacier
#

specs/scarf is def good but soul dew was always used more

chrome narwhal
#

or the 2 grasses

merry merlin
#

im still trying to learn how to build non-HO

chrome narwhal
#

While you can make an argument that Jugilus is not tanking iheads well

#

Drill is also not soaking up ep unless its spdef

#

in which case iron head won’t even do that much if it is spdef

merry merlin
chrome narwhal
#

and got top 10 in UU

#

Haven’t played much UU since the bans though

merry merlin
#

poor haxorus

chrome narwhal

Not talking abt tblast

Talking about Tar ban

#

merry merlin

wasnt that like half a year ago atp

#

With tblast

#

Did pretty good on both snow and rain

merry merlin

but still

merry merlin

also, ludicolo is ludicrously good in rain
