counterpoint: ice shard 2 hits most dragon types.
counter point
counterpoint: i also have rock, so i ohko
jk lmao
who needs rocks
literally no one
if anything, id run toxic spikes over rocks
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
erm no
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
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
you realize that’s the point
haven't had this problem yet, cuz tbolt carries
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
or they can be useless
how would tbolt carry if
they had a skarm and excadrill
spikes
skarm 2 hit
excadrill, swap to king and scald
they go skarm right
They set up a layer
you go lati
They go drill
they get up rocks
xcept i wouldn't do that but ok
they go hydrapple or whatever is their counter maybe even a knocker
Why not since that’s your way of hitting flyings right
if it’s a knocker you’re fucked half the time lmfao
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
cobalion ohko's drill btw
and you send out donphan to spin
turns out they go sinistcha!
or back to skarm for more hazards!
who is keeping drill in front of Cobalion lol
they switch from skarm to drill? i switch to cobalion at the same time. cobalion outspeeds.
then they swap back out to skarm or clodsire
Actually clod walls this set too
Maybe body press is bad
look man
ohkod by donphan, 5 or 4 hit ko from king, 2ko from latios
what Im saying is your team has a few problems
and I’m offering solutions like others too
there are no teams without problesm
Btw Clod nd Skarm core is real
Lmao
Clod and Skarm switch in and out vs your team
ik. i used to run it. + pex
Repeatedly
And why?
BECAUSE NO ROCKS!
and it’s not like banded Donphan is doing shit into Skarm bro
💔
true. he doing shi to clod tho
and yeah, maybe ill unband him
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
im not putting rocks on donphan smh. maybe on cobal
that also works too
Flash cannon is mediocre anyways
but
why is donphan there then
except until i run into a thing called fairy type
my current team:

you actually have no fairy resist holy
yeah...
Why not just run Fez
and whomst do i remove?
then no spinner
next problem: who tank then? who do i replace /w skarm?
w skarm?
/w means with
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
hmmm
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
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9uu-2546511862
did i do it correctly 😭
Watch a replay of a Pokémon battle between norjaS and cwfan! Format: [Gen 9] UU; Date: Feb 24, 2026
you could’ve.. played that way better
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
true
💔
i almost won 😭 even with my mistakes. i should've used the last ice beam before slacking off
send the updated team btw
I tested the team out
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
mfka i don't have twave on king
hmm. in most games he ends up doing... nothing. just like most pokemon honestly, once they see latias they switch to something that resists dragon and psychic type moves. oh hi, steel types
tink
I mean draco is chunking everything
Like
nearly everything
and Tinkaton is getting chipped by surf/luster at the bare minimum
I used standard set which was twave originally
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)

blissey is bad
meta with iron plate maybe? but cb feels better
and BB gren on balance feels bad
ur just gonna be to weak esp with coverage
this is asking to be smoked by rotom-w
i think blissey is for sure dead weight
i think blissey could be workable but def not with that set
yeah rotom w has been a real opp to me
he has shown to be useful but not that much
blissey in here? also weavile smokes u
he sometimes clutched up a greninja so set battlebond with healing wish bc wish is banned
lokix + volt turn def is
yeah
i often use it to clear status
or just the healing wish when i feel like greninja will sweep
usually greninja is often low
bc glass cannon
blissey is just not gonna work
slowking is 20 times better
yeah
and even then rotom-w, weavile, MU is dire
i barely see weavile in my games
never even seen it
rotom W is hell tho
i see it every 3 games
and idk what MU is (im beginner so yeah)
matchup
Oh thanks
hard countere by clodsire, unless its running will o wisp hex
its not often seen in low ladder, but its cracked
Im in the lowest of ladders
But other than rotom W my team hasn’t had many near impossible matchups i think
greninja is... ok ig, personally i would run hydro pump over surf, bc for me dmg > consistency
Yeah i know i used to but my luck made it that missing it caused me to lose so much
I be faster but i miss it and get one shot in return
prob top 10 mon
I mean im insanely low ladder so prob why i don’t see it
feels ok
i think ho might be a bit weird esp vs screens
screens seem to be pretty rare. and wait, its ho?
no but vs ho screens this sounds not fun
uh yeah. that uhh, sounds painful. especially if it is like, balloon revavroom im cooked, even without screens
ur options into manaphy + screens is death

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?

its fine i think, ogerpon could prob be smth more defensive
so for defensive, what'd you mean for "defensive Ogerpon" EV's
or moveset
ogerpon could be a more defensive pokemon
I think this is the correct team rate place, im new so idk really how to play but it seems cool https://pokepast.es/ea98255723309904

aegislash isn't in gen 9
try natdex ?
wait this is definetely natdex pursuit has been removed years ago
nat dex uu prob?
this isnt the correct room
Even tho ts is not SV UU, i'll say that Tangrowth just isn't good
Mega Venusaur is a much better bulky Grass type

Hello friens I just started playing yesterday and made my first team was hoping to get some advice
New [Gen 9] UU RMT @wispy peak, @trim snow, @foggy swallow, @brazen veldt, @lucid storm. I won't notify you again for at least 6 hours.
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
no pivots on a team with zoro h might be a bit odd
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
Thank you friend
Fish guy is him
Should I switch for rotom
He has volt switch
Or a different pokemon
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

Zapdos is OU by Usage
And Gastrodon is awful for rain
Who would you replace gastrodon with
I havent played since 2023 so im a little outdated lol
Thundurus-T prob
what is mamoswine doing
bro thinks he's on the team
lowkey rotom-w
since you want something bulky that benefits from rain
it also mitigates electric types
Im very new to comp pokemon and mostly play it for fun but i wanted to know how i can imporve my team and how i can get better at the game https://pokepast.es/1068a5eb621ec7b7
New [Gen 9] UU RMT @wispy peak, @trim snow, @foggy swallow, @brazen veldt, @lucid storm. I won't notify you again for at least 6 hours.
mismagius isnt viable, shocks is more of an Hyper offense mon with that set, swords dance lokix fits on more offensive teams
u have a lot of pace mismatch
pex, tinkaton is mroe for bulkier teams
while offensive shocks, sd lokix, and cb zapdos-g prob fits on more offensive teams
very owned by slowking, and zapdos is ou, and also barraskewda is just better... Hydrapple makes it so that keldeo / rotom-w dont go ham on you as you have 4 water types and ogerpon clicks buttons / serperior
u also have no way to pivot in ur frail breakers
i like using mismagius but yeah she isnt really good if you dont get the nasty plot of and even then its a glass cannon. And i like using pex and tinkaton so which mons would match their synergy better?
New [Gen 9] UU RMT @wispy peak, @trim snow, @foggy swallow, @brazen veldt, @lucid storm. I won't notify you again for at least 6 hours.
u prob want smth for opposing gren, lokix, and opposing HO mons

I'd prob give Scizor an Adamant nature
oh ye tera steel as well
actually I didn't notice it thx
https://pokepast.es/0999e3e3d819de55 changed my team up since last time how is it?
New [Gen 9] UU RMT @wispy peak, @trim snow, @brazen veldt, @lucid storm. I won't notify you again for at least 6 hours.
Haxorus is a bad pokemon sadly
Scizor is a better mon for phys sweeping in me opinion cuz better defensive typing and good priority
awh bummer, but is the rest of the team fine? both synergy and meta wise
some of these mons r too passive for webs
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
ah i was thinking more so to help my team since the mons i wanna keep (toxpex and tinkaton) are slow but not slow enough to use trick room, what mons should i use instead that help them?
I’d say stall but Tink doesn’t fit in it
You could form a bulky offense with AV on Pex
assault vest? but sure i could try playing bulky offense any good offensive tanks?
the apple

full sp. def slowking is bad run 252/240/16+. Psy noise -> Slack Off But i like scald, thunder wave, chilly, slack off
Latios likes luster purge a lot cuz of the high damage potential
Scizor is very bad at defogging while umrbno is just awkward and bad
curious why umbreon and choice band lokix without good removal is just..
awkward
im new to team building i came up with this can anyone give me tips?

One thing I would change is to make Sylveon have 136 speed ivs
Let’s you outspeed conk with speed investment
Yeah make this in pokepaste
Also the team looks like it’s for doubles UU, this is for singles UU
Go to smogon doubles or doubles ou to get your doubles UU team rated

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
Feels like Jugilus is the wrong mon for the end
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
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?
I also tried it with swords dance weavile
As well as mamoswine, cobalion, and escadrill

thoughts on my team friends? I was thinking skarmory instead of deoxys but i like his slow teleport and knockoff. his typing is a bit weak vs all the knockoffs so i was thinking of like getting a tinkaton or justified lucario or terakion or something maybe
https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/view-team-1640257-551x2lbnuu24os6qvu6c
gen 9 uu, looking for feedback on moves / items / etc. im really new to the game
You need to use pokepaste
for us to see ur team
it’s under ur team
like in team builder click the team you wanna send
scroll down
click pokepaste
copy link
paste
Most of these mons r unviable unfort and/or dont fit on the same archetype
for new players though we recommend sample teams
Take a look!
what does unfort mean
unfortunately
alright
are all the sample teams still 'meta'
like does it get updated
Yeah
Personally I would replace bee with atales, screens goes crazy on this archetype
BD azu is only on hyper offense
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
If you do want to run SD tink, don’t run rocks, instead run something like Brick Break
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
yea but you see the theme across the pokemon
..
i want to prove to my friends that i can beat them with a meme team like this
also i honestly just picked random shit for the items lol
@ndk thank you frien
why is azu only hyper offense?
is it cuz of priorty and stuff?
it’s main gimmick is belly drum huge power so u need ho to make the best use out of it
florges is bad, frosslass and tsar are just not good. I think u can make it work with similar mons but unfortunately 3 mons being like NU to PU is just not gonna cut it
because Azu is very slow and belly drum only has like 2 opportunities max to set up
and it needs team support to wear down water resists
like any faster pokemon that resists aqua jet destroys azu
also unaware pokemon too
I want to know what y'all think about this team, definitely open for critiques/changes
New [Gen 9] UU RMT @wispy peak, @trim snow, @brazen veldt, @lucid storm. I won't notify you again for at least 6 hours.
I think you forgot to set Tera type for many mons.
Smaht
odd... tink, the mew set, zapdos g set, and booster shocks
it wants to be offense...
but i feel u are using sets that dont really line up
mew runs a more suicide lead set with speed + smth to prevent spinners
shocks generally is a hazard setter so mew and shocks is just...
zapdos g isnt good on ho, ive seen variants of conk / keldeo
scizor wants to be fast with CC > Bug bite
greninja wants LO for power, neutral hitting them is just not gonna cut it
tink is just odd

https://pokepast.es/015cf43b626b96 i want do this team better but idk how
It only shows 404 not found
seems like a ND UU team
unfortunately, Primarina is unviable, the Latias should be mega Latias, and the set is bad to begin with as it's a dark type victim, and the Aegislash set is quite poor, alongside being a pursuit victim thanks to the lack of fighting type coverage
What you think about this team
a lot of offensive slow mons on sun... is asking to get ran over. I think u ned a lot of speed
but u have ike 0
a-exeggutor isnt good, neither is cb entei, and volcanion is niche
and u need def pivots on sun
also torkoal + exca kinda are odd
i think u want venu
and u prob want slither wing here or at least mold it into smth else
what would u recommend for pivots?
mandibuzz eject pex

the mons feel solid but at the same timehydrapple feels awkward
idk
hydrapple into smth like latios prob fits better buat the same time idk how in good faith i can go "run 3 psychics in a meta with weavile"
thundurus sounds nice on paper
- boots gren is bad, to little power.
- Drill needs sd and ur team is kinda boned by skarm a lot. But with no rocks ur prob better off with rocks on drill and making it a utility one
- Sp. def skarm may be usable but u need phys def bulk for some stuff... like 16+ is the min. protect is bad
- 3 steels is a bit awkward and scizor + lokix is an odd pairing
- leech life kix on boots is awkward
Damn 😭

serp or grimmsnarl is a better screen setter
manaphy runs 252 speed
latios and sinistcha feel a bit to slow for this style
latios comes in vs hippo and cliks buttons and weavile runs circles. Idk the team feels gimicky
enam t + serp maybe can work but talon, hippo, WP meta feel ot niche
is it necessary bad?
fair. i think i should probably replace talon with mandibuzz ngl, but i still feel like hippo is good, simply to counter sun, rain, snow setters + solid tanky rocker. afaik weavile isnt really a problem, with talonflame on the team
Chat did i cook or did i burn?
Tbh the main issue is that most of the sets are bad
and Basculegion is bad in UU
But there are really not many good water types in uu
If you want a specs water type, you'd use Keldeo
it ain't banned
Thats crazy
Ok i reworked the team is it good now?
A ho what?
Hyper offense
@chrome narwhal wanna hear a joke?
Thats not the joke...
what’s the joke
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
Bu-bb-bbb-but
I just know 3 steels in one team
you’re getting fucked by a fighting type
Like opposing specs Keldeo
is ruining you
and usually choice mons love pivot mons
like chilly reception slowking
which your team lacks heavily in
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
I don’t feel as if you’re too experienced in the tier, so I’d recommend sample teams
Excuse me?
At eleast i have style in my teams
The fact you said slowking is not doing shit
shows that you lack experience itself
no disrespect intended
I don’t think comp cares about style
Your team Is probably something like keldeo azumarill slowking clodsire fezandipiti and conkeldur
I guess bro
So creative
That kind of team is pure dogshit but I guess bro
So are we gonna keep giving personal attacks over
nothing
or are you gonna like
fix ur team
or learn
👍
What is that slowking spread?
Also you lack speed control
Tanking hits?
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
May as well make him a sweeper
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
U-Turn?
Air slash is eh
Icy wind can be used if you want coverage for Hydrapple
Along with other ice weak mons
Lokix isn’t fast
It’s only like what 311?

not really correct? bascu is not bad in UU, it just needs to run scarf and adaptability iirc
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.
ice-type moves:
the same for sinistcha too actually
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
I think Basculegion-Female is without a doubt better
Simply due to ice beam, yeah
I ran Air Balloon Agility 3a on HO before, its nice as a spinblocker vs Drill
Looks like a small burn to me unfortunately. Honestly, with Basculegion Iron Jug and Revavroom you have a nice HO core going, can even make Harc your lead rocker
Now I want to try out Basc, seems very fun to use
Banded adapt flip turn is a button I wanna click
This and +2 Sweepers and you got yourself a fine HO
the main issue is that post-Tera Blast, Basculegion-Male has no physical ghost stab worth running
It’s alright, I’ll just run 3 water move and ice fang
or actually maybe psychic fangs for water absorb clod, not sure
yea. but hey, bascu-F better anyway
https://pokepast.es/1fdae2ae7927089a can get away with this maybe
Jug Sucks btw
not true at all
No, it’s a common UU mon who is actually pretty damn good
It was literally UU before Hydreigon, lmao
last two slots are flexible, just make sure you have smth faster than latios so it doesnt like mess with you
i used it to get to top 50. it sucked. literally useless, only reason i had it is cuz sinistcha
only thing its good for is speed
what did u use it on?
HO
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
It gets nearly the same coverage has Hydreigon, and if I’m being honest has beaten a lot of my own teams down because I didn’t prep for it or think it was good.
yeah its not supposed to be a setup sweeper
^
if u odnt ohko cha/dirge does it matter?
you taunt the next turn anyways
fast taunt is valuable
Fast taunt is extremely valuable in breaking down walls
if you WANT to you can run tera electric charge beam/work up
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
i ran charge beam, hurricane, dark pulse, and epower/taunt
taunting something like a pex is really good to let something like weavile/slither setup
Yeah, that set isn’t sweeping
It feels like you’re trying to using a galarian Moltres
i mean like jug i can see why people find it underwhelimg, you can swap it for a gren easily
Without using a galarian Moltres
I feel like those two have very distinct roles
but i value it bc lets say a slither gets +1 speed from flare charge im not immedieatly fried
id use it if i could
they are similar-ish, fast dark type for lati
Like you gain a valuable ground immunity with Jug though
that is true
and again you can 1v1 a lot of spdef walls because you prevent recovery
gren does that too just flinch
atp just run lati
Me when mold breaker drill
drill is way too weak imo. too many mons run eq/CC for it to actually be viable
what
to be good drill needs 2 turns of setup
or 1, if you have sand
me when standard lati set is specs surf
???
135 atk is weak I guess
specs surf
no???
standard set is soul dew i thought
If it’s spec surf then you just eq it on the switch and only pivot in when it likely doesn’t click surf
It can run specs
ppl use soul dew?
yes?
specs is the most common though
like, soul dew is rarely seen in top ladder
wait what site is this
You gain a near life orb boost on your stabs
soul dew is standard gang
How is that bad
also lorb is crazy
yeah so surf doesnt appear in top 7 of moves
bc ppl opt for stabs + flip turn + trick
hm
and for soul dew sets its stabs + flip turn + recover
have completely different roles
i wonder what changed in the meta, cuz istg specs used to be most popular like a 2 weeks ago
And I’ll be sure to say this again but Lati unless it has recover does not switch into repeated eqs
no soul dew was always standard
You need an actual pivot like Slowking phys def
specs/scarf is def good but soul dew was always used more
or the 2 grasses
yeah. Sob atp my team will be like the sample - slowking, weavile, latios, sinistcha, mandibuzz, and idk the last mon yet
im still trying to learn how to build non-HO
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
smh i kmow for a fact that iheads sometimes throw logic out the window. like when i once ran up against a sinistcha. and absolutely bodied it with no set up by flinching 3 times in a row
Reminds me of how I accidentally built the uu team that hit rank 1 in OU but instead of specs Keld I used scarf Garde
and got top 10 in UU
Haven’t played much UU since the bans though
tblast ban hit me hard 
poor haxorus
wasnt that like half a year ago atp
Also reminds me of when I used Beartic in UU
With tblast
Did pretty good on both snow and rain
hes epic on a rain team
like bro just does not fk around
Somewhere around that
So my UU knowledge isn’t that updated
but still
also, ludicolo is ludicrously good in rain
what? its no manaphy but its simply so fun to watch stuff dissapear
uh.
no offense
but i think
Was talking abt the pun
oh
pretty sure its alliteration
bro will not higuruma me
pecharunt was in UU? Das crazy
It was a hidden gem
wouldnt excadrill end his whole career tho?
It’s OU despite the fact Tusk and Treads are in the tier
You tell me
tusk sucks and doesnt deal enough damage unless its the bulk up set. and treads is meh
“Tusk sucks”
Never in fucking hell would I think someone would say Tusk sucks
i mean... tusk doesnt suck but it sucks
tusk sucks simply bc Big Feesh exists
Most used mon btw
so was excadrill at one point
nearly 2x more used than Gholdengo and Gambit
Btw
Just saying
Yeah never play OU or rate for OU
I promise you
You will get your shit rocked
imma take that challenge personally
and make a team you would approve
I guess bro
i sent it in OU rates
please stop with the shitposting
New [Gen 9] UU RMT @wispy peak, @trim snow, @brazen veldt, @lucid storm. I won't notify you again for at least 6 hours.
a lot of odd sets and what does sylvy do here
av slowking, scarf exca, av slither look odd
a lot o fthese sets dont make sense on this kind of team
did you come from OU, perchance?
idk i’m just messing around
I see
New [Gen 9] UU RMT @wispy peak, @trim snow, @brazen veldt, @lucid storm. I won't notify you again for at least 6 hours.
eh maybe on a more viable team u can see a place for 1 or 2 of these
a lot of these on the same thing just feel bad
amnesia clod isnt a thing in uu. and the team collapses to h-arc, in addition tera ghost weavile runs this over. I think team cant justify blissey over slowking and either way having zapdos-g is weird
t kick > dirll peck btw
how about gastro over clod
idk the team feels awkward with blissey
ur weak to weavile, volt turn, and idk it feels like a momentum sink
why run bliss on such a team
maybe it can find uses but i cant justify it
what do you think fits then
slowking
https://pokepast.es/a819e88b0835ac81
@tribal laurel like this?
clodsire will be better over gastro
now u just have a horrible grass weakness alongside they check similar stuff
Oh wait zapdos-g should have knock off
i forgot
but it feels usable
i don't feel comfortable locking into either cc or brave bird
New [Gen 9] UU RMT @wispy peak, @trim snow, @brazen veldt, @lucid storm. I won't notify you again for at least 6 hours.
salamence should be moxie i think
tbh i think the better serp set is sub instead of synth, and lefties
King is good
tinkaton works
tbh i think donphan should run lefties too
i dont like harc CB but its still valid
mence is here as both sweeper and defensive pivot
https://pokepast.es/08867a07cb4dd3ec
@tribal laurel bad sd talon team
but i really wanna make this work
offensive talon cant work. just cant
https://pokepast.es/9bc0f1ef4d0bd572 testing out drifblim
New [Gen 9] UU RMT @wispy peak, @trim snow, @brazen veldt, @lucid storm. I won't notify you again for at least 6 hours.
drifblim decent but not like thits
lowkey try flame orb flare boost
u prob want rocks on exca
or amore def set
and idk a def blim set feels wild
i think scarf trick cress on such a team is awkward
in addition it often is on stall to cripple something or with suicune
not really good otherwise
sd talon maybe is ok but gastro + pex + cress is supe rpassive
u really arent breaking anything with it

Wait Scizor’s not EVd for some reason
He’s meant to be max attack and HP
Adamant too
mono bugs with no webs and the only special attacker is GALVANTULA
im crying
i think araquanid dropped enough for you to use it
so use it
it's lowkey mandatory cause rn you get roasted by fire types
and add smth that hits on the special i beg you
this is mono bug
why is the scyther max def
Eviolite Scyther
Sleeper pick
https://pokepast.es/eff6dda5bb0b0d9e
updated the team a bit
Now Scyther has SD and Scizor’s the tailwind mon
