Does it even approach 1 shotting caly-i
Ig Kowtow -> Sucker and then you have the speed advantage vs other stuff
Well you have to weaken it as it sets up TR
What does SD mean? (mb I’m not used to all the acronyms and abbreviations yet 😭)
And what’s TR too?
ah sorry, SD = Swords Dance
TR = Trick Room
Ah, thx 
You should use the SD scale shot set, as that is definitely the better option than a set with an adamant nature and no boosting.
At the very least you are using real pokemon, so that’s great.
New to this stuff, any feedback is helpful
You should post your teams using https://pokepast.es/
But other than that, I do see some simple mistakes, like no nature on Necrozma, no fourth move on Miraidon, and Zacian not having maximum speed.
I don't think Dragapult is viable, but if you insist on using it then it needs maximum speed to not get outsped and dunked on
Trick room on Necrozma is not a good choice since it is the only thing that can take advantage of it. TR teams typically have multiple setters and abusers but here, only Necrozma seems to fit that bill
TR on necrozma is totally fine even if you are not going for a full trick room team, instead it’s a very good way to beat offense or a wincon.
It’s sometimes also paired with calyrex ice to create a Anti offense core, but tldr you don’t have to be a TR team to viably run TR NDM

my team
how is it
New [Gen 9] Ubers RMT @lime prairie, @wooden cosmos, @steep tulip, @warped pier, @versed lava, @crude turtle, @twilit quiver. I won't notify you again for at least 6 hours.
not good at all; sneasler and ceruledge have absolutely no niche and the sets on every other Pokemon is suboptimal at best
you should check the Ubers resources
ceruledge cant use tidy up so idk, sneasler i use focus sash item for little tank with its fake out move
i changed it
now i keep winning matches when battling randoms

I’d go fairy ho-oh and maybe poison ting for tspikes
And sunsteel > iron head
I think dd > rocks and rocks on ting is also an option to have some form of offensive pressure
Since this team is passive af
Then slap some speed on ndm if it’s dd
P standard tho so it’s not bad
This is a National Dex Ubers team which go in #1060037469472555028
However, this team does not look viable at all in NDUbers as the only viable mons are Lando-T, Gholdengo, and Mega Lucario, who even then are rather niche.
I recommend taking a look at the format's sample teams to gain knowledge of the metagame before building your own.
You don’t have any idea on what’s viable, right? Sneasler is extremely niche, and terapagos is just ass… take a look at the sample teams to get an idea…
And why the hell are you running physical brave Miraidon???
Wtfff?
Outrage Miraidon is not something that is acceptable
Trust me
Beef can you please stop being so rude during rates
Anyways, how is this thing going? If you can, maybe turn this into true monoboots for the memes?
New [Gen 9] Ubers RMT @lime prairie, @wooden cosmos, @steep tulip, @warped pier, @versed lava, @crude turtle, @twilit quiver. I won't notify you again for at least 6 hours.
Ditched Miraidon because ground types annoying
I’ve also been having problems with my own NDM, cuz I really wanna get a win with ddance.
Fairyceus > ekiller, idt ekiller is that great here and you really want another defensive korai answer
Damn guys, I can’t beat stall… or did I just play like shit?
Koraidon gets wrecked by hazards and same for fairyceus

Just make lugia a ground like arceus ground or ting lu, make ho oh physdef and then ur fine
Thanks

To whoever that gets the references, tell them I love them.
Anyways I wanna build a HO team with chadgambit, any tips?

I’ve tested this Pecharunt team and it’s really fun to use if you pivot Gliscor with toxic spikes and hex. But is it good?
Not at all, all your sets are unviable and idk why wouldn’t you just slap the bikes on your team
Assault vest Ho-Oh is not real
You need boots or else you die to the rocks
Especially in this generation, where hazard removal is scarce
I don’t see why would you need protect on calyrex
This is not vgc
Second of all, why are you going to run a minus speed nature when you are running speed EVs?
2 of your mons are unviable, and all of them are running the wrong sets.
I know you are autistic (as said in the profile) I am too but please don’t take my words too personally, I am just pointing things out.
Easiest way to learn how to teambuild is to check the sample teams, they are very good examples on what a good team looks like.
!samples
Never mind idk what was the command
Ok I’m gonna rapid fire this
I kinda wanted to try to make a bulkier team so boosting ho-oh’s assault vest
I honestly thought i would need that
So I should switch calyrex’s boots
Wdym, there is no item clause here
Reccomended ev Saving sets
They are trash.
It’s apparently Ubers viable on showdown
How? Pecharunt is not.
Thanks but I’m also a dumbass when it comes to team building
Ursaluna had a tiny niche in TR but this is not Tr
It kind of is idk
Anyways, would it be fine if I dm you?
I’m on Gen 9 Ubers and it works
Yeah that’s good
Its C- on the VR, so viable but incredibly niche and probably doesn't belong on a comp like this, but please do not just straight up lie when rating a team.
saying a mon in the absolute lowest spot on the VR isn't viable isn't really lying
that's a bit of a stretch
it's certainly not viable for a beginner
if it were the lowest spot then it would be D tho
but I'm not the ubers rater so idk
https://pokepast.es/10c57402e5738594
somewhat experimental adv team
worried about monotias
potentially about clops getting worn down too
i'm considering faster bi for lastmon subcm hooh
grass would be nice to fit on bi as well if i can
in theory lugia + bi should be enough vs subcm hooh and potentially monotias
https://pokepast.es/35e25805bef9204e
Kinda getting hang of it with this, although I’m kinda clueless when it comes to evs. Made it based on other teams I’ve seen, outside of Terapagos who is currently my favorite.

pretty new to ubers and would like to get some thoughts on this
Ho-Oh is an amazing Pokemon, in fact, one of my favorites when building. However it does not fit on hyper offense like this one. This team is using all of the real Pokemon so I heavily appreciate that.
Neither does choice items work on HO.
Or fits well.
Personally like Wp over Lum berry, since you are gonna click Tera fire on most anyways.
Plus it’s hard to get the needed boosts without it.
And another specs user is redundant
what should i replace ho-oh with?
No bruh
Most flutter uses speed booster plus specs
I dunno why people love a 50 speed boost plus 30 offense boost when you have an option that gives 50 speed boost and 50 offense boost
Feels like OU roaring moon damn
Anyways
Try scale shot koraidon
i think maybe because its better to not be locked in to a move on those sets
instead of flutter?
And TR NDM does not work very well on webs
Yea
i'll change it to dd
Either replace NDM with the ddance set or replace it with Zacian-C, I like the former for matchup into the glorious Big Stall.
And for miraidon, try the double dance set or CM set.
New [Gen 9] Ubers RMT @lime prairie, @wooden cosmos, @steep tulip, @warped pier, @versed lava, @crude turtle, @twilit quiver. I won't notify you again for at least 6 hours.
offensive dd for ndm?
but what would i change ho-oh for though?
Zacian-C
ok
Then the team will be better, but further improvement will have to wait for the raters.
do you have a set for zacian?
almost forgot about that ty
Just try the standard swords dance set
Wild charge, behemoth blade / play rough, close combat swords dance.
Max speed and attack with jolly nature (or adamant if you want on webs)
Actually don’t run adamant
Just run jolly or else scarf koraidon and miraidon will get you
im coming back to ubers after a good while
can you still make a great team using specs miraidon
Yes, but it’s prediction reliant
The most used set rn is the boots pivot set
closely followed by scarf i think
Also idk this is the channel for rates.
No
yeah ik, i was gonna send a paste
Scarf is considered to be bad on most teams
Except a few of them
but it wiped my time when i reset pc
this is the team now
thats... a development
can we continue this in #comp-general
Don’t forget Tera types.
K
yup, thank you for the help!

Hello, half your team is not Ubers
New [Gen 9] Ubers RMT @lime prairie, @wooden cosmos, @steep tulip, @warped pier, @versed lava, @crude turtle, @twilit quiver. I won't notify you again for at least 6 hours.
Arceus with both thunder wave and wisp was so fun
Necrozma miiiight be better with ddance but I wanted to have a bit of anti offense stuff
Ho-Oh is evd to always oneshot miraidon for full with Tera eq
From*
But the rest of the evs are kinda just random, with 48 speed creeping 4 Spe gliscor
Idk I just don’t like it when I don’t have a move to click vs it’s usual checks
Ndm and Ho-Oh
So arc has two status moves, tho rocks could work idk
I’ll wait for yall to be here
(This is also a potential gym team)
The 6 can definitely work but idk why your Fairy is no attacking move
Oh wait I forgor
It was a misclick, just imagine that it’s judgment
hey, i have no real experience with teambuilding but i'm still trying to get some results in smogon, has anyone got a cool and powerful team to share ?
Wrong channel.
Ask in general maybe idk.
Tho depending on the format I can help ya with a bit of the basics
Or maybe not
This is the RMT channel
here you go
just grab a sample team

Took a break from building Ubers but had the urge to play again

Now that I think of it, pivot Miraidon might be better here idk what yall think
If we keep this set then I usually like Stellar to OHKO most NDM while keeping the roll on Ting-Lu
But lmao
Howdy could someone in here help me with my Ubers team? It has some holes that I can’t figure out how to cover
If the team's already got 6 members and you need advice, post it here
If you need to build it from scratch, go #comp-general and we can work on it
I’m running deoxys attack, Ursuline blood moon, roaring moon, skarmory and regeleki
Thanks I’m new here, so still learning all the channel
Dw
To be honest though, I don't think these Pokémon are viable in the current Ubers tier
Except Deoxys-A

Since you said you're new, I'd recommend checking out sample teams and tier resources
It's usually the best way for a new person to start teambuilding, in a few weeks you get the grasp of the meta and learn to make your own stuff
No one starts off knowing it all lol
Gotcha thanks!
Np, and good luck lol
May I know why are you running all these unviable pokemon?
Blaziken is completely outclassed by koraidon.
Skarmory only fits on some structures.
Roaring moon is not viable here.
Despite being labled as Ubers, ursaluna isn’t viable here, and neither is the set you are running.
Regieleki is bad.
Koraidon miraidon and ndm and all of them are right there, your team is gonna get dozed over by any serious team.
I literally see no reason to run blaziken.
yep absolutley
this is the link right here @rose cargo
I basically just grabbed pokemon to cover the pokemon before its weaknesses
I needed a good ice counter and since skarmory was already a steel type I wanted a fire or fighting type to resist and hit back ice types
The only viable pokemon is calyrex ice
In terms of ice types
And the best check is necrozma dusk mane
Why not use it
wait hollup you a hypershock fan?
Massive W
anyways well im used to playing previous generations OU so I dont normally use a lot of legendary pokemon
This is Ubers now
Use Ubers
And the real ones
Also I suggest checking out the VR rankings
gotcha so what would be a good replacement for blaziken?
Koraidon.
But tell me
What kind of team are you aiming for?
Balance? Offense? HO?
And what is icy wind deo doin here?
well Im running more of a balanced team I prefer offense but I like having some tanky mons that I can stall out a couple turns for if needed
Ok, here are some tips
Just to slow a mon down if they set up too much or are to fast for slower team members
If you are not running HO or stall ting-Lu is very good.
Im familar with stall but whats HO?
Hyper offense
also is it worth running a fire type to take advantage of koriadons ability?
Basically a suicide lead like deoxys speed and 5 sweepers
thats what I figured
No, not in this meta unless Offensive Ho-Oh
Or defensive works too
Speaking of Ho-Oh
gotcha
It can be a powerful offensive threat with offensive sets
While also being a semicheck to calyrex-s with its bulk
Oh wait
Wait wait wait
Gotcha are trick room teams big in this meta?\
Sorry no calyrex-S
No, in fact they are really gone after basculegion
I forgot this isn’t AG
oh yeah I remember doing pretty good with him in doubles
I was thinking of making a ran dance team with basculegion
Anyways You really need a check to miraidon if not running HO
Basculegion got its best move banned in Ubers
which move was it last respects?
Koraidon sun is everywhere
Yes
There are many mons in the tier each doing different things
So do you think I should just rebuild my team from the ground up or just sub in better pokemon to replace the current team members
And I suggest using Necrozma dusk mane over skarm on this team
By subbing it’s pretty much building from ground up if I did
oh yeah your right 99% of the team isnt ubers
This isn’t past gens anymore unfortunately, and legendary teams run rampant.
I personally like this tho
I feel like thats fitting for ubers
I do wish regualar pokemon were still viable
are psuedos worth touching at all?
Not at all
yikes has the power creep really been that extreme recently?
Ubers had been like this since years ago ago
oh I couldve sworn garchomp t tar and a couple others were ubers for a couple generations
Gf don’t know what were they doin with Zac
zacian is a demon
Ttar was great in early Gen Ubers
glad they nerfed it
Chomp was banned in dpp
The attack boost every entry was terrifying
but I understand why thats also a thing people would miss
Anyways
wish they would buff my boy goodra
yep wasnt the weather nerf a big hit to him
Well not really in Ubers as kyogre and groudon are still there to compete
oh yeah, speaking of which are they still meta atm?
is annihilape worth using or did it have one of its moves banned as well
It’s ass
Unless stall
BO is pretty good rn
HO isn’t bad either
But this gen is much more offense focused
alrighty is it worth using entry hazards?
Come back after you finish the teams
Yes
alr
Almost No hazard removal this gen
Oh yeah theres only a couple rapid spinners and even less defog pokemon
Alright I got my team of six
Send it
no moves yet but
I figured id see if the pokemon look good before I get into the evs and move set
Regieleki is bad
Groudon is kinda niche
Ray only fits on HO these days
Steelceus is garbage rn
Deo is hard to use and prediction reliant, so you will need hazard control to prevent it from being picked off by prio
ok, So ive been told your team should never have two overlapping types would this be a case where its okay to run dusk mane instead of stelceus?
This isn’t always the case
Overlapping types is totally fine
Overlapping weaknesses to a certain mon? Not good.
Ohhhhh
so its fine to have 2 or 3 dragon types as long as I had a fire or steel types for dealing with their weakness
not saying im gonna just an example
The best fairy types in the tier are fairyceus and zac
Also
Weakness stacking don’t work so simply anymore
would you mind elaborating?
gonna quote it so it's not lost in time without having to ping again
I need help with my pixelmon team
(Pixelmon doesn't have tera, so ignore that. Also I can't do megas)
The #1 thing pressing me is hazards, I have no magic bounce or hazard cleaners
i was thinking maushold 4 but it feels gimmicky
We don't rate Pixelmon, we only help with Smogon formats
its pokemon
literally the same thing
the only thing im missing is tera types
just pretend its gen 8
probably use a sample then imo
What’s the reason for Thunderbolt lol
Oh Shi that was a misclick 😭
theres a difference
pixelmons battle engine is abhorrent
play cobblemon instead its sovl and uses showdown as the battle base
and its fucking pixelmon why are you making a competitive team
unless youre playing on some losers p2w server and want to play in a tournament
I wanna go to the WZ
the what now
warzone
its like you can force people to fight you
and loser gets one poke stolen
sounds kino actually
oh shit anarchy?
but are there p2w elements
crates and whatnot
but the good part of the wz is that legends spawn
very often
oh
shouldnt have gotten my hopes up
if it was cobblemon perhaps i'd consider
whats it called
https://pokepast.es/f8d8a30f61bb9d79 can anyone rate?
i need opinions + good moves and items for the mons (kinda new to ubers)
absolutely unviable so thats a thing for you, incin is the vgc king but def not the Ubers mon.
what would you recommend i swap with

Need some assistance with EV's would anyone mind assisting me? (or showing me the right place to ask/ find out. I am a bit new sorry)
why are you using follow me in singles
there is a vgc rates section, Ubers is not VGC
slow arceus formes are borderline useless cause you start losing to opposing arceus super hard
lest it's sth that doesn't aim to check a single arceus forme which this does
don't do pursuit solo dark move on leadtar, idk what the dex says half of the dex sets are beyond horrible
drop knock off for power whip on ferro, get something on the team that doesn't suck ass switching into opposing ferro (maybe just roar on max speed ghosty over refresh) and make ogre stalk
ice beam does nothing to lati@s/dialga so no reason to run it
https://pokepast.es/ed4f3a3a27e608ce updated doubles team
this place is for singles
and uh
oh damn is there a doubles one?
wth are you doing with sd miraidon?
like i said im kinda new so i got no clue
and you also forgot that different tera types exist
but idk doubles ubers is a really niche format
i forgot to even do that #
there is prolly a place for this but this isnt the place
ah alright

The eternatus set is temporary and totally random, so id love it if somebody can help me with it. Otherwise uhhh Im trying to build with offensive Ho-Oh, anybody or is one whirlwind user not enough? Also im getting completely destroyed by hyper offense…
New [Gen 9] Ubers RMT @lime prairie, @wooden cosmos, @steep tulip, @warped pier, @versed lava, @crude turtle, @twilit quiver. I won't notify you again for at least 6 hours.
Its been a while since i last played Ubers as i was mainly invested in AG. But idk
I feel like this wants Gliscor > Ting-Lu and WW on Ho-Oh
you don't really have a comfortable knock absorber once hazards go up
dragon dance waterceus…. So i keep the offensive spread?
or should i just go eith defensive Ho-Oh instead
or maybe just send over the updated team with offensive Ho-Oh.
defensive to compensate for dropping lu
hm
https://pokepast.es/bf8e30dc4f9a5905 this is the updated team, miraidon looking a bit scary to switch around…
also eternatus still needs a real spread
any ideas?
Might want a bit of spa investment
ting was fine this team is kinda farmed by mirai
I'd put ghost on korai or etern, not a huge fan of the etern set
standard tspikes is just defensive faster than arc w tspikes toxic dynamax recover
or you can go offensive w like 3a type stuff I like that set
hmmm? good idea.
ill change that

Hyper offense I think
And sun
https://pokepast.es/8a7deb8c23381055 changed it up a bit
Chi yu isn’t really great, it does fit on some specific teams but not this one.
Flutter is kind of niche too, and without power gem it’s walled by Ho-oh
Full sun is not viable in Ubers rn
They usually just bring Ho-Oh and then a few moves that benefit from sun
Zacian needs wild charge or else walled by Ho-Oh
Tusk is usable sorta as a koraidon check, but mostly still unviable
Arceus generally uses some speed investment
Yeah this team isn’t great
Still better than a full team of low tier mons I’ve seen before.
Alrighty Tysm
What do I use to get rid of hazards
Flutter in sun is kinda what inspired me to make the team in the first place lmao
You don’t, run tons of boots.
Hazard removal is pretty rare in this tier atm
Ah okay
Or run giratina-o or treads if you want it
I’ll make a new team idea then
Hazard removal isn’t mandatory anymore this gen
True
Haven't really played Pokemon since gen 8 and wanted to make a funny Slaking team but I'm actually invested and I think this is a great team
I haven't changed the tera types though except for orthworm

and you should really look at the viability rankings of whatever format you're playing
there's no tier on earth where this is remotely a good team
not gonna sugar coat it
I have faith in it
okay sure, but if you come here for competitive advice that's what we're going to give you. If you want to show of your favorite Pokemon that's fine but this isn't the place for that
I get you don't worry about it, I like throwing people curveballs with my teams

The evs on Ho-Oh always survives silk scarf +2 espeed from arceus
And 48 speed creeps 4 Spe gliscor
It was rainbows and sunshine until ndm and calyrex-ice
Only if I could run as many arcs as I can
If you're running offensive hooh you gotta also play aggressively.
The 6 themselves aren't bad but you are gonna have do make concessions sooner or later
You could do dtail on Etern
To try and be more proactive
Around those MUs
If you're looking for a hard answer well you gotta go bulky ho-oh lol
https://pokepast.es/e26be9f10025bb95 this is my first ubers team, Idk what im doing lol
Only 2/6 of these mons are viable in Ubers (Deoxys-Speed and Kyogre), since you're new I heavily recommend you try out the sample teams before building your own
ftr this was ADV Ubers
pretty clearly lol
but still a ton is missing from this team and our sample sets are still completely ass for most mons, unfortunately
:/
God im fucking dumb
you need a lati check
i'd use bliss over zapdos
tios should generally be 252 spA 252 spe modest
ogre needs beam over thunder
ludi doesn't need salac, it's fast enough with swim
bp is illegal so celebi should have some other move instead
other than that i think the team is functional
some changes i'd consider are
gar or gross over bi, gives you a spinblocker or a better deoa check
more physdef on ogre, also for deoa
refresh over cm on tios for bliss
you're also hera weak, you can consider a skarm in the celebi slot as well
skarm+gar over deos+bi i think is a more standard version

Toxapex doesn’t really fit on this, your team is super offensive you want to just lean into it
Probably just have ribombee there or glimmora
Cb korai wants close combat > collision course and also tera fight, the main appeal of it is that it beats stall / fat with cc
Rest of this is relatively normal, you could go faster offensive ndm on an HO team
And maybe change up sets on the bikes since they’re customizable
But like faster tera ground dd ndm makes the mirai mu a bit easier
I added toxapex for the bad matchups.
It's a backup
it just slows down your team, you can cover most things with just a hazard lead and hitting stuff
Ight
I mean I've used it a bit and so far I haven't had to much issue-
Seen a shit ton of people just forfeit the minute they see the team

You can play any teams you want, but Rate My Team is exclusively for highly competitive, meta-optimized teams (and asking for advice with for-fun teams is not allowed in this chat lol)
oh sorry
https://pokepast.es/1a283e80d444b824
any suggestions? this is a rain team in which i don't allow legendaries in
bruva rule 6
!nolegends
See rule 6 of #1030567099703242903 message
i can't see the channel it just says #unknown
edit: nvm i see it now
however, if you really want, i can help in private, though dont expect too much from this arbitrary format
alright
https://pokepast.es/b8f34eb7862801f6
is there anything i should add to this team? i'm not entirely sure if it breaks rule 6 due to it being specific on being based of archie's oras team
Thought it would be fun to go back into Gen 7
https://pokepast.es/9c2bf47707e9155f
This is unviable and requires a complete rework
Also #1060037469472555028 is where you go for ND Ubers
the best wat to use this team is to just throw it away
like why the heck are u using his team lmao
what was the reasoning for the relaxed nature on groudon?
and i usually see attack investment on pdon whenever we use sd
I wanted to invest more into Groudon's bulk rather than his attack since his attack is already really high and I felt heightening it anymore would be a bit over kill
Swords dance sets usually run an adamant nature
To nuke the usual defensive counterplay
Ight, I'll try using a different moveset on it to work better with the stat spread
+2 252+ Atk Groudon-Primal Precipice Blades vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Zygarde: 346-408 (82.3 - 97.1%) -- 62.5% chance to OHKO after 1 layer of Spikes
Just an example
But I’d assume maximum investment isn’t really needed anyways
Was thinking about swapping precipice blades out for something else due to it's low accuracy
I mean 85% isn't horrible but I have insanely bad luck on accuracy-

you could drop outrage for Dual Wingbeat on Korai
for an OHKO on Ribombee
hey thats actually pretty cool
kinda just wanted a regieleki sweep team
bro must really hate the good ol days of no boots
oh and regieleki is trash
not a single set is viable here, go check out the sample teams if you are new
Alr thx
I just couldn't tell if it was bad or not cuz low ladder
https://pokepast.es/83437ab77d065f3a
Ok for real this time fuck webs, and dual wingbeat koraidon is kinda MU fish so can anybody help me with this team?

I once used Tera psychic photon geyser for the nuke unintentionally because I forgot to change
But looking back it might as well be legit?
Which tells me that Tera ground caly could be too maybe? But anyways I am having a problem koraidon which isn’t good at all

this isn't really good at all for Ubers standards; you are not covering a lot of different high-tier threats defensive nor can you break the standards threats found in the metagame. Pokemon like Tsareena and Ceruledge might seem to have a niche because in paper they can check something like Arceus and Koraidon but in practice they really don't. I'll have to link you to our tier resources to see what is good.
gonna sidestep the Groundceus EVs cause I assume you have a reason behind them
What are we aiming to do with this team cause the issue of Scale Shot Koraidon remains prominent here lol
and ofc Specs Miraidon is a threat yada yada
groundceus is more invested in bulk to take on miraidon, and other threats
but the exact uses for the spreads i think i gotta ask donbonjones because he was the one who passed over the set
but yes scale shot koraidon is a problem and might have to go defensive on Ho-Oh to deal with it
what kind of niche does quag fullfill?
and more
doubles uber team for scarlet violet is it good?
First of all, this team is completely unviable, second of all, idk if this is the place for dubers
This is a team I cooked up for gen 9 ubers doubles, I am aware that most are non ubers but I would still like some improvements I could make aside from that glaring issue, I think i need more coverage to deal with electric types but Not sure where to add. Also, I have no experience with tera types whatsoever so I presume thatll be where I make most changes 😭
If I had to change one thing rn I would change aqua jet on urshifu to something else
Played quite a few matches today and Ive been having decent results, quite low in ladder though
soz king you're more likely to get help in the DOU channel than in here
Bro thinks he’s playing vgc, and why are you not using Ubers?
I just cooked up a team that I wanted to use and since it has some ubers in I have to be in the ubers format
Just go all out on Ubers, you are missing all sorts of stuff like calyrex formes and bikes
They are really good and you should use them
Also, this looks like a vgc team to me ngl
Just a regulation not called reg g and reg H
I tried to choose ones exclusively from ubers and OU while also liking them
You need more than just calyrex
You need other Ubers as well.
Also I’m pretty sure doubles formats have their own place
whats bikes?
Koraidon, miraidon
I tried looking but couldnt, theres DOU but no Dubers
I see
Hello everyone 👋
https://pokepast.es/3da37d97d6d2bec5
made this team for national dex ubers
is it any good?
For further reference, National Dex Ubers is in #1060037469472555028 lol
But sadly, this team is straight up unviable
The only viable Pokémon here is the Salamence, and in a different structure
I'd recommend going for samples to get to know the meta first, and then teambuild when you're at least a little acquaintanced
well that sucks
thanks for the help though
i’ll remember to post my next natdex ubers pokepaste in the right channel next time

idk
ig its a balanced team
so first is glimmora with stealth rocks
if the others also use stealth rocks or spikes, etc
glimmora will use mortal spin
and will toxic the opponents
- with the ability that uses toxic spikes
now comes the gholdengo
it mainly has the trick move which to a ground type
i will talk abt that grund type pokemon when i talk abt my dragonite
so bascially if there is a ground or dragon type with any weakness move, it will kill the gholdengo
dragonite
dragonite will have the item heavy duty boots
i e means dragonite immune to gruond moves,
that time ill use dragon dance twice
then most likely the opponent will switch to a dragon type
that time ill terastilze my dragonite into a fairy type
and use outrage to all of the pokemon
now toxapex is a defensive pokemon
it s main use in the team is to use hex
and zacian also used to remove all the dragon types
cuz its op
@steep tulip
ok sorry to disturb you
sorry work got busy
np
if I am being honest this team is all over the place; glimorra is essentially an HO or at best a BO only Pokemon because you wanna go fast and hard with taking advantage of its t-spikes and other hazards; however there's a toxapex on the team which doesn't accomplish much, if anything, for the team. Moreover, pretty much the entire team is fodder for opposing miraidon with your best answer being your own, AV miraidon, which if you trade teras with the opposing Mirai you still don't come out ontop.
ok
Dragonite has absolutely no niche in the tier, either as it's not the best extreme speed user and just adds the weaknesses of a dragon-type in a tier with MUCH better dragons in Korai/Mirai/Kyurem-B
whats HO and BO
AV Miraidon is also not the best because it doesn't do what you want miraidon to do but is instead forced to try and trade (mostly unfavorably)
Hyper offense and bulky offense
final nail in the coffin is from using Gholdengo on a team that isn't fat enough to support it in an attempt to keep hazards up (there's no removal in the tier save for glimmora, which comes down to speed-ties and Iron treads which comfortably beats gholdengo)
thats actually faxs my mirai is not doing what i want it to do
I think you need to familiarize yourself a lil' bit more with the tier and how it operates
ok
best way to do so is trying out some sample teams
see how team cohesion works by trying out what's tried and tested
Why do u only have 2 uber mons
Glimmora zacc and miraidon are all HO mons
So toxapex doesn't fit here at all
ok instead toxapex?
And dnite is just a bad sweeper esp if it's mixed for some reason
yea ik thth
is draginpult a gud replacement for dnite
Koraidon @ Loaded Dice
Ability: Orichalcum Pulse
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Tera Type: Ghost
Jolly Nature
- Scale Shot
- Swords Dance
- Flare Blitz
- Low Kick
Why
stat reset
Do u mean haze
This is HO tho not stall
Ur trying to setup and break through or sweep
Not sit around defensively
yea
Miraidon @ Electric Seed / Life Orb
Ability: Hadron Engine
EVs: 248 HP / 252 SpA / 8 Spe
Tera Type: Dragon / Fairy
Modest Nature
- Agility
- Electro Drift / Parabolic Charge
- Dragon Pulse / Dazzling Gleam
- Calm Mind
Use this over
Assualt Vest miraidon
ok
Cuz u need to setup and stuff
Eternatus @ Power Herb
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 168 HP / 252 SpA / 88 Spe
IVs: 0 Atk
Tera Type: Fire / Dragon
Modest Nature
- Agility
- Meteor Beam
- Dynamax Cannon
- Fire Blast
this instead of?
which pk
Pex
I'd get rid of gholdengo too but it's up to u what u wanna replace it with
An arceus forme would be nice
Like arceus ground
Or extreme killer arceus
Arceus-Ground @ Earth Plate
Ability: Multitype
EVs: 132 HP / 252 Atk / 124 Spe
Tera Type: Ground
Adamant Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge
- Taunt
I'd just go with this
tera type?
Griund
grounf
Ground
ok
but flare blitz has recoil
is tht fine?
The power is way more important than recoil
oh k
Esp since after scale shot nothing can rlly revenge kill you except scarf miraidon/koraidon (which is a speed tie) and priority users
ok
And the extreme Speed is nullified by tera ghost anyways

@honest sand
Replace earth power on glimmora with memento and tera grass with tera ghost
Change eternayus to a Timid Nature
Other than that looks solid to me
ok
Oh tera fighting koriadon to tera ghost
Also why is miraidon the pivot set with electric sees
u said tht
It should be double dance with agility and calm mind
.
No volt switch here
what happened here
:3
Actually now that I think abt it
Ur caly MU is questionable at best
the team is actully gud
New [Gen 9] Ubers RMT @lime prairie, @wooden cosmos, @steep tulip, @warped pier, @versed lava, @crude turtle, @twilit quiver. I won't notify you again for at least 6 hours.
No wild charge on zacian
Bad
Sacred sword also bad
i agree sacred sword is bad but
this may be the single team where no widl charge is fine
and cc is ok
because the other 4 mons all threaten to ohko ho oh
forcing it to tera anyways
You really don't need 252 speed on mirai btw
Because you're running Agility
You can get away with as low as 8 speed, but I like 48
To outspeed Ray and Kyurem unboosted, and it's a minor loss
We also have seen speed to outpace adamant groundceus
ok

An educated cobbling together of mons, will change anything if need be
New [Gen 9] Ubers RMT @lime prairie, @wooden cosmos, @steep tulip, @warped pier, @versed lava, @crude turtle, @twilit quiver. I won't notify you again for at least 6 hours.
let's see
god did I put up bodypress arceus
I am a criminal
what's the idea behind the team @kind dome
and why this arceus set + specs m2
As I said, it was a cobbling together of mons, although balance is my preffered Playstyle if that's a valid Playstyle in ubers
oh I didn't put body press, lit!
Not saying this is a balance twam
That was me sorry
And I have no experience with the team I made cuz the one game I used it in was a 100% free zacian sweep
it's close to balance tbf
you do run into some issues with very common foes like TR caly-i but thankfully that's an easy fix
uhhhh your ho-oh should probably be the defensive set tbh
otherwise you risk losing to koraidon off the rip
you might be able to keep mewtwo? it doesn't offer anything really
Idc abt mewtwo
but it's mewtwo it has an OK enough speed tier
it'd be ever so slightly better as something like pivot miraidon
(heavy-duty boots set from the dex)
and the arceus should probably be iron defense over body press
and maybe even change it to darkceus but I am not TOO attached to that idea
https://pokepast.es/819841cbd39d01bb
I'm using the sample sets so if anything is wrong pls lemmie know
Team as of now
only issue would be that my changes make you more susceptible to stall
You could completely uproot my team if you wanted aslong as it resembles balance
I am thinking to myself rn
if there's a way to consistently break balance
yeah actually it can just be pivot miraidon
@kind dome
iron defense over bpress on arceus
and you should be golden
feel free to experiment w tera types on ho-oh/ting-lu; I'd actually suggest you make ting-lu poison so u can have a t-spike absorber vs stall!
You can consider boots ting lu if you are struggling with Eternatus asw, it just works well for me but lefties helps with longevity. Also idk about the Arceus set outside of stall, but add iron Defense
Seems very standard
OH on miraidon if needs the extra push
Not a big defesnive normal guy (i have no clue if even worth the boots)
https://pokepast.es/6ebbb5dd3c2c83c6 iwant to switch out regieleki but idont know with wat
What the

You got a HO team without a lead
Lonely nature on arceus is questionable as heck
Actual self sabotage
Offensive ddance ndm doesn’t use boots and you want webs support for this thing to actually do stuff
Instead Lum berry or lorb is probably better if you wanna use it
for arc?
For ndm
clover cloak
It’s definitely usable but it’s best on bulky sets instead, and you are running offensive ddance.
isn't this a sample

Light mode showdown
I seriously don’t get why you need a lonely nature on groundy
changed it
First of all
Archaludon is unviable
Clodsire only fits on specific balance teams or stall
Specs kyogre is a usable set yes
But it requires proper support
Like hazard removal, which on many teams can actually be taken out but not really on this one
And ogerpon is unviable
Period
And the zacian set you are using makes no sense, you get walled by Ho-Oh
And psychic fangs is unneeded coverage
Intrepid sword only activates once this generation, so without it, you lack the power to actually break
i see
ive been dealing w scarfs in soloq
i dont remember if it was koraidon specifically
it mightve been
Anyways
I suggest checking out the samples
Because this team gets completely trashed by hazards
And pretty much every single viable team archetype
i did look at samples earlier but i js kinda skimmed them
might js take a sample and see what i can do
If you want easy elo
Just spam hyper offense
HO imo is the most boring playstyle but it’s effective for the ladder
im js trynna start moving away from just spamming buttons without thought to spamming buttons with thought
im really good at pressing buttons
i play splatoon
Cool, Rank?
This convo is getting outta topic so we could move to comp general
Or off topic idk
I tried splatoon but I couldn’t get the camera angle
Right
off topic but we can keep talking abt the set here
Yeah why not
so what would u suggest i swap?
The entire team, the team has a fringe mon and only 3 viable mons
The rest are unviable and you are only running two viable sets
oh 😭
One of them is difficult to build around
Another is better with boots because hazards clap
Yeah, and the Vr rankings
are those linked in the server?

- Post intelligently. One-liners saying things...

Very much not

the team starts out solid

I made some changes to the team
honestly
this team is like lowkey
lose
close
just drop volc and pex for actual ubers
with grimm u dont need to bring defensive shit
just bring a fuck ton of sweepers like caly-i / ndm / zacian / kyurem-black / miraidon
Or orthworm if you really wanna go with some gimmicky fun
https://pokepast.es/1154233048a6ca1d how easily would i be folded?
LandoT can 2hko full hp Groudon and ofc take reliable hits (Still in doubt if relaxed would be better, impish cant 2hko full hp groudon and risk to lose for heat crash ones)
Haban for dd draco meteor variants of zekron, and zekron normal setup itself ofc
Scarf Caly to guarantee an late game clean
Mixed Zekron to low opposing phys wall threats
Anything else are just the standards
Tests were decent, but stilll dn, cuz even with the strange sets, still ubers yk?
How easily would i be folded
At the end of the day, its a caly-s team, but well, using just standard sets kinda scks
While the lando is cool it feels more optimal to just use a normal defensive rocks set then make ndm dd
Being able to free up ndm is a big draw of lando
You aren’t too scared by double dance don w a scarf caly
I don’t like scarf caly but it’s usable if you can support it and zek is probably decent at that
What abt xerneas? Doesnt dd lose to it?
Just spdef dd sunsteel knock moonlight
Same spread? Oh gotcha gotcha
Wait, which one is optm, bulky or ofense dd?
For the team
Specially bulk i mean
On this bc of the worse etern mu I think spdef dd is better
But you could try an adamant set with a little bulk same moves and still leftovers
Gotcha
So rocks lando, dd spdef necro
Last question
As an only check to groudon, that lando is too bad? Cuz i really liked it xD
Strictly to beat offensive don it works
But it doesn’t have much utility overall
Since I can’t imagine earth power does much to spdef dd ndm and it has no rocks for pressure
Understood
And
Really thx
np, idk if the bot picks up on non sv teams since I didn’t get a tag from it, feel free to tag me if you have any other questions
You are using screens
Go with it
Instead of putting defensive mons on the team
They are a momentum sink
The point of screens is to have screens support and setup sweepers
And maybe also hazards like glim but you get the gist
So replace clod with glimmora?
That would probably be good, but I suggest just sticking to the structure of hyper offense
Oh and Ho-Oh isn’t a screens mon
Gotcha, what specific pokemon can be better than Ho-Oh on screens?
Double dance miraidon, trick room calyrex-ice, trick room ndm, etc
Kyurem black if stall is a problem
And you don’t have scale shot koraidon
Add that
Kk
should glim be suicide lead?
Yeah
kk
How does everything look?
https://pokepast.es/2becd3644fe71815
Also, flutter isn’t that great here imo
And you might want Tera fairy on miraidon instead of Tera dragon
why not?
Not as great as stuff like calyrex-ice over here
But this is more of a personal preference, as calyrex-ice can be really effective vs opposing offense
And people spam offense all the time on ladder
tyy
