Oh and if you want, I think you should really have M.Pinsir over someone (Forre? Maybe)
But it's a bit frail to get the agility up
I'm not sure, but Thunder being always strong is nice
Yea but lots of stuff are scared of galvan, which is how you could setup
But try it out
If I remove forre that mega pinsir taking 50% on entry
Instead of band?
I have band sciz on the team
Should galvantula be timid on agility set?
Yea
Yea
Right, I tried with galvantula
It's really bad
Lol
That thing is only good for webs
What do u think about yanmega?
are there any good z move users in mono bug
Buzzwole and that's all I can think of
Lokix

Can anyone help me to make mega gengar team
Ndag is no more my guy, if you want more mgar stuff go try other tiers
@pearl scroll But we can still play with friends
Maybe go check out that vid pokeaim made on megas to high ladder, he has an episode on mgar. Try his team.
Can u name the channel?
NDAG can still be played as a challengeable tier and NDAG tournaments still exist.
not the place to ask anyways, this channel is meant to critique fully built and polished teams not for helping make stuff from scratch
thanks
can u stop adem
?

Can someone suggest a better item for brav and better tera types https://pokepast.es/2e5c0c9e24afcdcf
either sash vika to set up agility or risk it with some other item
compound eyes thunde, bug buzz and hp ice make a good movesrt?
It threatens lando aswell
And corviknight
I ended up replacing clawitzer with mega gallade
https://pokepast.es/ca743de0d2b2d58d I’m new to ND Gen 9 Ubers and I recently made this team, its doing pretty well so far but I would like to see how I can improve it. The team uses Gira and Zygarde to spread paralysis so kyogre and Groudon can wreak havoc. DDance Necrozma DM makes a good defensive core with Gira and can wallbreak as well as cleaning up with DDance. Zacian wall breaks as well to make progress
I don’t see anything super glaring from this team but you could swap out Morning Sun and Knock on necrozma dm with Earthquake and Sedge/Photon Geyser
you may also have some problem against unecro if it’s set up other than rking with zacian or tanking with pdon
The ndm set is a little odd. Would you be able to elaborate on the evs? Just fiddling in the calc briefly it hits 306 speed at +1 which I'm guessing is a bit of a mistake. This speed ties with max speed base 90s, which is only going to be the primals which this set can't really hit. Even slower Arceus formes usually hit 307 so being outsped by those isn't ideal.
I'm also unsure exactly what tera water on Giratina-O is for (I'm guessing primal kyogre)?
This team would also heavily benefit from play rough on zacian-c since lo yveltal can cause this team a lot of issues
Necrozma ev is from smogon set it doesn’t really say what the speed is for but the bulk is for surviving zacian +3 Tera fight close combat
also i'm very confused about the pdon spread. I'm guessing it is to live ice beam from offensive primal kyogre after rocks as base don?
I'm fairly sure that using an adamant nature would save some evs
it is a jump point but 12 or 16+ hits the same attack
Groudon spread is outdated it’s from SM lol I should change that
It’s for Xerneas but that’s gone now
yeah, I was wondering about the speed tier b/c 284 is very uncommon
And outspeeding Zygarde C DDance variants
I wouldn't worry too much about those since this pdon set isn't handling them at all even with the speed investment
what move do I sub for play rough
sd / play rough / wild charge / cc
I'd highly recommend using a different ndm set fwiw (the solg z set does fit on this sort of bo style team)
In general I'd avoid using vanilla Ubers spreads as that is a rather different metagame unless you know what you're doing (for example, some sets on the dex for NatDex Ubers are based on Gen 7 Ubers sets but revamped to fit into the metagame),
This can also be a decent reference if you're looking for a specific role (you can click on the sprites and it'll link to a pokepaste)

What tier is this team for?
The paste says it's for NDOU yet everything is legal in NDUU
Its for just natdex
gen 9 natdex
thats legit the name
I made some changes https://pokepast.es/f51bba949961bef2
whys this for national dex OU (which is national dex in builder btw) and every mon is NDUU or lower
i dont like the ou mons
then... go play ND lower tiers??
and
it's not that hard
those tiers r boring-
your team is made for NDOU atm
ok whats the point of sending it here then
if ur just gonna deny advice
you could ping the nd lower tier raters
/raters
well i cant do commands fsr but you can type that in
try to find the chatot command for it
I thought this was the wrong channel mb here’s my team, feedback I’d appreciate
don't
i'm the only one and I'm just gonna say right now that its a terrible team
just scrap it and actually try to play the metagame properly instead of shoving 6 random mons on a team
hater
Oh oopies
Someone can rate my team ?

New [Gen 9] National Dex Monotype RMT @soft lion, @worthy fjord, @grim cobalt, @random bluff, @runic sage, @atomic salmon. I won't notify you again for at least 6 hours.
drop cobalion for great tusk, you need speed control so scarf the sneasler, the iron valiant movepool should be
tbolt, moonblast, ice punch, close combat with a expert belt or Life Orb. If you do want specs, it would be moonblast tbolt shadow ball close combat with a naive nature. pjab is also redundant coverage on breloom, better if you run sd or rock tomb there to hit flying.
kommoo needs drain punch, it doesnt need boomburst. iron head is fine if you want to hit fairies but other options are vacuum wave.
in terms of iron hands, av doesnt need fake out. thunder punch or volt switch is preferred here
Thanks !
But I want now, what I can do about mono psychic. Literally obliterated my team. Do you have any tip ?
unfortunately, you cant cover every matchup. psychic is going to win even if you have a cobalion due to mega gallade and the dark/fighting mons arent that good
Some types can afford having a chance against disfavorable type matchups, but Fighting isn't one of them
N-Dex Ubers(Gen 8)
with a limit of 3 legendary
https://pokepast.es/c0ec6727d2c071a4
I'm a beginner, can anyone help me?
There is no such thing as Gen 8 NatDex Ubers in the first place
Back then there was just NDAG
!nolegends
See rule 6 of #1030567099703242903 message
Also what bobsican said
sorry, I can't read the rules because my English isn't very fluent and I was at school
Basically we cant help with this team because of the "3 legendary only" rule
- Gen 8 ND Ubers is not a format to begin with
unfort
yall think this team works better with zacian or kyogre, or any other mons that fit the team better
:/
Mb
Tho I’d personally run more speed on arceus to speed creep adamant mega rayquaza
Yeah good point you think zacian or kyogre work better ?
Well first we need to figure out what kind of weaknesses this team has
This team doesn’t like opposing Yvel too much from first glance
Zacian could kill yveletal unless dynamaxed
Zacian can also kill yveltal even when dynamaxed with slight chip
Behemoth blade does double damage to dynamaxed targets
True depends if they got off a max airstream on a different mon beforehand
Also
Yeah that’s true
Yveltal can’t do much to zacian unless it uses max flare
Good point
You think any moves or items should be change ?
Zacian checks m ray no?
Not a defensive check
Earthquake easily cooks
What would you put heat wave on?
I was saying that yveltal cannot do much damage to zacian without heat wave or foul play
And staying in is really risky
You don’t have a problem with zacian right now with defensive Pdon and caly
Yeah I could switch yveltal for a more offensive but I think scarf works well with the team
But you might have problem with screens hyper offense
True kind of need taunt
Mega ray can plow through the entire team with a single boost
He the goat for a reason
Yeah hyper offense could cook
You think I keep v create on ray or eq better
a ditto could make the team better aswell tbh
You can if you need to nuke necrozma dusk mane
But earthquake deals with primal groudon
But this is mostly your choice
Oh and v create allows you to nuke Skarmory
Which is frequently used to deal with mray
yeah i think imma keep v create
only problem im seeing is like you said d dance m ray kinda just sweeps the team
Oh, Gen 8 NDAG, I played that meta for a good while
Zacian-C is better here as Intrepid Sword is dumb and Behemoth Blade lets it brute force past Dynamaxed stuff
You may consider Ditto over Yveltal to have a better check to snowballing Dynamaxed foes while also adding a safety net to random stuff per the nature of AG formats
Remember hazard removal
Because mega ray doesn’t like to start at 75 hp when it come in
yeah i do think ditto would be good for the team but yveltal is kind of needed also
zacian doesn't like taking foul plays
or airstream into flare
doesn't even need flare if its passed boosts by caly-s
whatr does that mean?
thinking of switching arceus for ditto
it (yveltal) doesnt need to use max flare to win against zac-c if it is baton passed nasty plot boosts by calyrex-s
thats a good play might put baton pass on caly
nvm i just did the calc its still a 3hko against zacian
foul play is the better move
This is meant to be a Grass monotype/NatDexUU Team and Im trying to find ways to improve it, any advice is apreciated

New [Gen 9] National Dex UU RMT @sonic summit. I won't notify you again for at least 6 hours.
404 page not found
Monotype teams are not viable in NDUU especially with stuff like Galarian Zapdos and Iron Moth just being nearly impossible to play around
there's no way to improve this team and make it viable
if not viable, is there a way to make it less worse
Monotype in non-monotype tiers just suck ass in general
probably but it defeats the purpose of this channel then
with it being impossible to competitively optimize
ok thats fair
ty for the info
What About an RU Shell Smash Team? Or does that also not fit in this channel?
https://pokepast.es/555eff78249c224b
Theme teams like this are kinda the same thing
i would just stick with Cloyster or Barbaracle and then support it with viable mons
but stacking like this is just asking to lose to a good team tbh
can smo rate my ice monothreat team?
paste it
first ever natdex bh team, any tips?
https://pokepast.es/75d4c8a920d9721e
this is really really bad
none of your mons are improofed (imposter-proofed)
all the sets are questionable
and you have no functional defensive core
yeah I figured
why does pinsir only have 1 move
idk if its even viable in the first place
pinsir isnt
and embody aspect doesnt even work lmao
yeah ok lets get to breaking down every single thing
it's mostly a suicide lead, just there to do as much damage as possible before probably dying in one hit
palafin completely loses to any water (including imposter) which is a massive problem when dondozo/mega slowbro are very common physical walls
strong jaw is bad cuz it only boosts rend and nothing else
scarf is irrelevant with jet punch (and scarf is bad either way)
imposter needs moves in the event you switch it into a transformed pokemon or something behind a sub
as mentioned pinsir is just bad
if i had to use it then i'd use aerilate
w/ boots
maybe I could run tough claws?
moldy or sor works
tc doesn't boost glance
mmx is hasty max spa for no reason (photon turns physical)
and pigbeeef also mentioned embody aspect doesn't work (it's not unviable it just straight up doesnt work outside of ogerpon-tera)
facade and multi-attack on gigas serves the same purpose, remove multi
i'd be partial to just remove half the team for a functional defensive core to not instantly lose to any balance structure
yeah that's fair
I try to run more offensive sets because I just don't like playing defensively, but if it's that flawed it makes sense
thanks for the tips
hyper offense can work
but not this way
HO in bh (and for an extention NDBH) looks really different from regular tiers
Ninjask @ Choice Band

ask akira
oh yeah explain this then
g7
simply play it in ndbh
can someone help make perfect build for the pokemon
the pokemon itself arnt the change
like moves ev spreads
etc
!nolegends
See rule 6 of #1030567099703242903 message
completely unvuiable insta loses to pdon
oh
they arent willing to actually optimize it
alr
this ndu team got me to ~1500 any tips?
https://pokepast.es/fbb1c006b9c61ac2
its bad
dracovish is unusable in a metagame where primal groudon is on 90% of teams
sneasler is unviable and does nothing into half the tier
zacc without sd is awful
since it breaks nothing
and the moment you lose your isword boost you literally break nothing
sucker is bad on marsh since it hits nothing sneak does, and without bu you dont break anything
the mence set is not that bad but dragon claw is redundant, and its a bit of a harder fit on ho teams over other dragons
fake out does nothing on smeargle
if you want to build a webs team id advise looking at other examples of hos and webs people have made on the forums
and the viability ranking to see whats viable or not
Blah blah blah
https://pokepast.es/62adb866b82dcf3c Can I make specs yveltal work?
I enjoyed the funny damage calcs
what does it have over Life Orb
idk... i guess it cant :/
well lets just imagine that its lorb
anything else?
and yes i did forget to change regen
man I'm so done with pokemon
I make a set that's usable but sucks, I get told it sucks, then I change it and lose more than my old "bad" team
like wtf
how do I lose more with less viable mons I don't understand
wdym
you are on low ladder maybe thats why
but we can all agree that getting curbed by the most used mon in the tier isnt good
also why use sneasler when marshadow is right there? and yeah sneasler just get stopped by many of the bulky mons in the tier
I changed my team, I added eternatus and groudon because they're usable for hyper offense
and then went from 1480 to 1200 like how
this is the same reason I stopped playing bh, I used meta picks and lost more
are you using double dance?
ar are you just tilting
but we will never know the answer unless i look at the replays
yeah I'm using double dance
oh and if its webs, try eruption too
that one is my favorite.
anyways, we will never know why unless we know how you played
honestly I think I just need to calm down
since I'm all tilted at losing I'm playing worse and losing more
maybe its because of the rest of the team idk
Adem threw but alr
maybe... try out the samples first??
until u have a good grasp on teambuilding
like these mons really arent usable or "less viable" they are straight up awful
sneasler cannot do any damage to half the tier, dracovish cannot do any damage to the number one pokemon in the tier
(and the number 2)
oh and eq does like 30 something assuming max attack
while uninvested precipice blades does like 70 something back
Yeah ur shit
I wouldn't particularly oppose a sleep move ban, but I feel that'd need community input
sleep move ban is mickey
js ban sleep
do what natdex was too much of a bitch to do
🙏
ok wait i js realised
thats basically the same thing
Yes bob do that
what tier is this even
nationaldex
https://pokepast.es/b8f34eb7862801f6
What do I add to this team for NatDex UU? I'm not really sure if it breaks rule 6 due to being specific about being based off of Archie's team
its a rule 4 violation more than anything else
aside from that there's no real way to optimize this for nduu
ah ok
since all of these mons are beyond terrible sry
it's fine
be nice
you're beyond terrible
wtf
i havent played a lot of matches, but ive gotten a couple wins with this team
https://pokepast.es/93bc3add467949a1
add a poochyena
this looks like HO w a lead but you have no HO mons
i also do not think lucario bundle and terapagos-s (with that set) are good
Mluc, bundle, hooh and terapagos need to be replaced they're ass
On this team
what mons go well with mega luc coz i wanna make a team based around it
Honestly I wouldn't use mega luc since marshadow is better than it
But groundceus is a good teammate
And pyogre
We only do comp here, so favorites do not justify their presence
This is too many shitmons on a single team. Mega Lucario is maybe fringe viable, terapagos and bundle are not viable. Also I'm not sure why you have Ho-Oh on webs?
what about this team?
https://pokepast.es/2f71c529496847e9
i forgot to replace terapagos

when I say shitmon, generally if you're new to ndubers it is probably best to avoid more than one mon below b+/b other than a suicide lead (i.e. ribombee which I'm not entirel sure is viable tbh)
ok thanks
Its np. If it was maybe one d mon (i.e. mega lucario) we can probably make it work on webs. But with half the team being unviable it is too much
fwiw i'd generally recommend going with shuckle or smeargle if you want webs
ribombee is interesting, and I said I'm not sure if it is viable or not because I do think it has some potential. Its niche is mainly denying webs
this is the new team
https://pokepast.es/25a2b55e60a8be99
i hate dragon tail so much
ive missed 3 times in a row
accidently had marshadow as fighting
also zygarde could be z or tera ground / water
Generally if you're using a webs team you want to focus on maintaining offensive pressure so defensive primal groudon doesn't really fit
Natdex Gen 9 ubers any help is greatly appreciated and im brand new so go easy on me pls https://pokepast.es/b9b045e16f7fdf3e
this is very bad
dracovish and base kyogre are both unusable due to the existence. of primal groudon
you would be better offf just using prmal kyogre instead
aero is also poor as a lead, there are much better options
that ray set has 0 real damage output, and kind of defeats the point of using ray
treads is a usable lead but the set your using literally does nothing except waste a team slot and some time
you would need to remake this team entirely, i would advise you to check the HO teams in the bazaar + viability rankings to see whats actually usabke
damn, my attempt with ray was airlock for weather control, fish bc funny and thank you for the advice
also whats a bazar
yeah well
you cant really switch into them that well
is the issue
and pdon always swaps out
it doesnt want to take a tera flying band dragon ascent, especiallt if u have a zacian in the back
oh and vish is stopped by tera water everything, eternatus, and i think waterceus too lol
zacian needs wild charge over either play rough or blade
hooh is too everpresent and tera water things are also very common, especially zygarde (and dozo on stall at higher ladder)
also you need a different tera type, probably fighting
other than that, the zacian is fine ues
could i use wake in a rain team or are there better alternatives
rain does not work
weather in general does not work
simply due to the existence of the primals
So just dont try a weather team at all
dang nammit
Why tf pokeaimMD suggesting dracovish and base kyogre 💀
they used it in a video that i coppied, there was a ferrothron, a zygard and another mon that i forgot
but im scrapping the weather and now tryna figure out what to do
primal groudon seems like a good mon
aight ty

two, your evs and movesets are completely unoptimized
fair enough I got into competive like what 3 days ago?
trick room in ndubers is a playstyle with not much room for innovation
I like hitting things
Simply put it at that
why are you using trick room in natdex ubers if you arent using calyrex
Yeah trick room is not a great playstyle, but it is slightly viable. Basically it is very good against hyper offence in general, but an auto loss v nearly anything else
melm is very very powerful
no caly-i tr is still bad but i get the logic
i cant spel
Right clicker is right. Trick room is very limited in structure. Melmetal is viable, but calyrex-i is the main reason to use trick room
Trick room normally has 3 setters and 3 abusers. The 'best' Trick Room team would be hatterene/arceus/lunala/calyrex-i/primal groudon/primal kyogre
melmetal is viable, but should be paired with cresselia over arceus
If you like hitting hard I'd recommend trying a sticky web team as it is is also full of hard hitters, but a much better playstyle overall
wait
he was running dracovish on trick room
i guess you could call that
a matchup fish
this is definitely an ubers team
https://pokepast.es/1a518ac9b62a6b91
full physical asault vest dragon claw yveltal is not something ive ever seen, but i havent played this format in like a month.
have you even touched the tera types? because everything seems to just be the default setting
i also dont know if z move shadow is a viable set
I don't consider it one no
generally with hyper offense you want a suicide lead to set some form of entry hazard
there is a lot to be changed, but what are you most willing to drop?
i personally have had lots of success without it, but im not the expert here
probably yveltal
it was just an idea I had as a late game revenge sweeper
Well yveltal is a staple on HO, but it usually runs sucker punch and life orb
honestly that'd probably work better
if z move marshadow is unviable then what item do I run on it
I've fallen into the trap of just slapping life orb on everything before lol
I can see how that would work better
On HO usually you'll see life orb bulk up
replace sucker with bulk up? I mean sneak already fills a priority niche

also btw in the first link all of the sprites are clickable and link to a paste
honestly should've probably looked at this first lmao
its np. I'm happy to help build a team if you'd like. HO is pretty good and the mons you want to use fit on it. The sets are the issue
how does rayquaza mega evolve?
Dragon Ascent
nd ubers has a mega rayquaza clause which bans it from mega evolving
oh ok
only usable in AG formats
thx
np but for future ref. these questions are better asked in #comp-general 👍
ok
whys there lead deo-s in a team with cm fairy hooh goth
why is hooh even here
i need something bulky so i dont just crumple to revenge killing
ur HO tho
just out offense
ok
while not necesary, spikes help linoone secure even more kos
you are pairing it w bad partners other than linoone and maybe pdon
all the mons i mentioned loses you the hazards from being passive
you don't want to be passive and let them remove hazards for free on HO
you want to constantly pressure them so that when they remove hazards they would be way behind on tempo
thx, this advice is very useful
iu dont
i just realised that it might have the most potential on stall teams, and i refuse to play stall.
playing against stall often forces you to bring out all of your team even before a pokemon faints. this means that stall is the most likely to be able to trap an aplicable mon with gothitelle
linoone cant happen
there are lower tiers
go make it happen there
eh, it has a niche. whether or not its a practical one, i am unsure. i have, at least temporarily, given up on it, but i wouldnt be surprised if someone else made progress with it.
but if nothing else, it is a funny strat that can give you funny clips
if its on highladder maybe
but i bet if it does have a niche then its in a lower tier, where it would 100% do better
its technically the most threatening sweeper in the game after one turn. you have to give up a third of your team in most matches for the chance of getting that turn.

+6 252+ Atk Silk Scarf Tera Normal Linoone Extreme Speed vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Zacian-Crowned: 271-319 (83.3 - 98.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
also ghost types and ekiller
ekiller can pick you off
and finding setup isnt easy either
extreme speed and shadow claw
no kidding.
arceus espeed goes first
salac berry
cant you just do this in a lower tier
i dont play lower tiers
+6 252+ Atk Tera Normal Linoone Shadow Claw vs. 248 HP / 112 Def Giratina-Origin: 398-470 (79.1 - 93.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
and it isnt funny or inovative
linoone would do better in a lower tier
no one is arguing otherwise
then why not use it in a lower tier
also giratina-o
also finding setup is super hard
arceus judgment takes half of your attack
oh why did i forget necrozma dusk amne
mane'
im not doing this because i like linoone im doing this for the sake of inovation
+6 252+ Atk Tera Normal Linoone Shadow Claw vs. 252 HP / 72 Def Prism Armor Necrozma-Dusk-Mane: 256-303 (64.3 - 76.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
its not innovation if its outclassed
feels like that certain murkrow thing i saw
no other mon threatens to go first and ohko as much pokemon after one turn
your not gonna believe this
ofc not lmao
you are speaking to THE murkrow guy
get to highladder and make a detailed rmt if you wanna prove its niche
and when i mean get to highladder, i meant with linoone
on cool, wonder how it got blacklisted
anyways you have to get this thing behind screens, maybe a sub and maybe it can sweep
but
taunt
whirlwind
dragon tail if you lack a sub
roar
thats why i have gothitelle
to trap the stuff that beats it? good teams got tons of ways to beat it
zygarde can dragon tail
also glare can mess it up
wisp can mess it up
foul play takes it down to half
no, you charm and reflect, then switch to linoone on the now weak pokemon
roar and dragon tail
giratina can tank even a +6 shadow claw
necrozma dusk mane can also do that
opposing hazards exist
maybe its not impossible but same could be said for other gimmicks
Also this strat completely ignores special attacking pkmn
Or mixed pkmn like overheat pdon
sami please help
What
this guy still thinks linoone has a niche
K
this isnt innovation this is just cope
I mean hes totallly allowed to think that but
Idt its gonna convince anybody otherwise
everything you people are saying i already know
i never claimed it was good
i dont even think its viable anymore
why are we still discussing this?
Idk
prove that niche and outclassed are different things
Just let it go brah... its over...
okie
insta loses to any phys guy that gets past pex like pdon groundceus mray
ferro also isn't a stallmon
you also just lose to hazard stacking
and revivecats
https://pokepast.es/d18c53dd4ab86cab
for future reference this is the average ndag stall team
who made this...?
some goon probably
it doeant
it isnt
innovation would mean your discovering something new thats actually good
but this isnt new
your not special using linoone here
and its not good either
then what is?
taking from past examples, gholdengo being built and winning in ndfl last year
with tera it beats all the hazard removal + is a good wincon akin to cm rere arcs and can bypass a lot of its former checks
or say alo picking up usage since people realised how well it works on bulkier teams as a pivot to stuff like marsh while passing wishes to keep up pdon and gira o
these both are completely new discoveries (at the time) to natdex ubers, serve a role well, and work well
thus, innovation
taking a random shit mon and putting it on ho where it would be outclassed by literally everything isnt
no, i mean what is the most threatening mon after one turn?
oh
zacian i would say, after it gets a sd
if its positioned right then it can almost always claim a kill / multiple
unlike linoone
zacian can actually get a free turn lol
if linoone gets off a belly drum, it will almost always just kill everything
what is it trapping
that will not immedietely invalidate linoone, even at -6 (if it can even get there)
keep in mind
u have nothing to enable free entry for goth
ok u somehow trap ndm, u get it to -6, linoone comes it gets twaved and gets revenged by whatever
u trap pdon, it either kills goth with oheat, and then linoone
or if its not running that, clicks rock tomb on linoone then it gets revenged by zacian or whatever
u trap zygarde, it just dtails your linoone or glares it, then same story
actually, speaking of zygarde
+6 252 Atk Tera Normal Linoone Return vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Zygarde: 374-440 (89 - 104.7%) -- 31.3% chance to OHKO
if pdon procs its 100% form it does nothing, so even worse
so what is this mystery mon that gets trapped by goth and then becomes “setup fodder” for linoone
theres a fuck ton of mons that sure would appreciate zygarde, pdon, ndm trapped
and they all actually do it, unlike linoone
if your vs any form of ho, its literally not going to be doing anything
and ho is p much the most common playstyle on ladder and in tours, so
you face sucker punch yveltal, your also not doing anything
extreme speed
even just normal yveltal can tera ghost and kill you
sucker i think takes prio
but if it doesnt
every other point i mentioned still stands
sucker punch is +1, extreme speed is +2
ultra necrozma is a prime candidate for trapping
ok fair then, all the other points take precedent
lol
0- SpA Necrozma-Ultra Photon Geyser vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Tera Normal Linoone: 228-268 (76.7 - 90.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leech Seed damage
photon geyser changes to special once its attack drops below
or if you somehow find a way to lower its spat too
-6 252+ Atk Necrozma-Ultra Light That Burns the Sky vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Tera Normal Linoone: 162-192 (54.5 - 64.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leech Seed damage
lol
it is a prime candidate for trapping
your right
oh, i didnt know that, i thought it was calculated on the stat before modifiers
but since linoone sucks
the trapping isnt going to matter
most of the things this goth traps will still own linoone
Holy yap
yeah youve killed their ndm or zyg or whatever
still cant setup linoone
atp why not just run good mons that benefit
^
what i meant was:
-6 252+ Atk Necrozma-Ultra Struggle vs. 4 HP / 16 Def Linoone: 27-32 (9 - 10.7%) -- possibly the worst move ever
anyways, lets stop talking about shitmons
yeah innovation wise I'd say chien pao is a much bigger deal than ghold tbh (adem was behind that)
Innovation is mega venusaur
🔥🔥🔥
Imagine this is mega venusaur (there's no mega venu on tenor)
but yeah @pallid oriole the big thing is not that linoone 'can't' do anything. It can, but when you look at the support it takes to maybe do something, there isn't much point. Given the same level of support most mons in that role would be far more consistent while being able to function signficantly better under unoptimal conditions
yeah. cool niche, but probably not viable.
Even niche is really oveselling it tbh
Wow
isn't this entire team available in ndou
bad, check the viability rankings and team bazaar
0 mons here are viable in ndubers
Also reminder that Hydro Steam does not bypass Desolate Land, nor does Protosynthesis trigger under it
But orichalcum pulse works because fuck you
Korai still gets the boost
does it really?
NDMono Psychic Ft. Assault Vest Metagross

New [Gen 9] National Dex Monotype RMT @soft lion, @worthy fjord, @grim cobalt, @random bluff, @runic sage, @atomic salmon. I won't notify you again for at least 6 hours.
this team is not viable. this does not mean you cant use it, you are welcome to do so, but you have to accept that you wont get very far with it
(I have since changed bullet punch to zen headbutt)
#1059714627384115290
Sorry, I thought this was the right channel.
Psychic fangs: Am I a joke to you?
But either you are really good at not missing or you REALLY want that flinch chance
did you consider that maybe i had simply forgotten and an honest mistake it wasn't an intentional decision
I AM AWARE.
focus sash marshadow detected. sending nukes.
ok but srsly this whole team is #doodoo
mega beedrill is bad cuz it dies vs rocks and does ntohing vs eternatus and gira-o
kingambit has 0 synergy with the team
ditto is ditto but that's a crutch atp
focus sash marshadow is weak af and useless as soon as rocks go on
zacian-c has sacred sword over close combat for some reason and tera fairy is bad, also no wild charge to hit ho-oh
scarf kyogre is strictly worse than primal kyogre
lol
ok, but no wild charge isnt the end of the world
it is when ur best bet at beating ho-oh is scarf kyogre
rock tomb
it doesnt get that
marsh
that doesnt kill
it does
252 Atk Technician Marshadow Rock Tomb vs. 248 HP / 204+ Def Ho-Oh: 312-368 (75.1 - 88.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
nuh uh
252 Atk Life Orb Technician Marshadow Rock Tomb vs. 248 HP / 204+ Def Ho-Oh: 406-478 (97.8 - 115.1%) -- 87.5% chance to OHKO

phermosa is better than beedrill in practically every way
and even pher isnt that good
yeah nduber ladder sucks
lol
i think this team generally needs some fat. i recomend replacing kyogre with either p groudon or p kyogre
alr
i recommend starting over

Welcome to the official National Dex Ubers Viability Rankings thread. In this thread, we as a community will be ranking every single usable Pokemon into "tiers." You're encouraged to post your thoughts and opinions on the various Pokemon that are usable in National Dex...
true
Yeah nearly every mon on this time is unviable or running an unviable set
Also give the team compendium a look over. It has sets for most roles you'd want on a team
Hard to say anything
That’s probably not true, I’m sure the raters know what to say.
You dont have hazard control
It’s natdex
Ho-Oh has defog in natdex bruva
Source?
Because many top teams don’t need that much removal
😭
And toxic spikes can be handled by grounded poison types
You should add a speed Control pokemon
Beacuse your faster pokemon is arceus
And you have no prio moves
Yeah yv should be taunt over heat pulse and giratina-o isn't needed imo
Maybe in some om
this team is fairly passive
Yveltal sucker punch, look before u say
Yeah, tho I slotted on heat wave to bait zacian
Gira is a consistent check to Pdon but what shall I replace it with?
Bro why are you so agressive
You can bait sucker punch
Wdym bait sucker punch
You literally didn’t even read the paste carefully and say I got no priority
And outplaying sucker punch isn’t easy at all
Sub
Sub cm?
Great now ur gonna get beat by Ho-Oh
Cuz no power gem
Oh and why should I care so much about a C rank mon?
Oh, and post elo
Flutter definitely isn't a concern. Give DD zygarde a go
if you're somehow good against everything that flutter mane is what is causing you issues you probably have a good team (generally speaking)
please dont give misinformation if you dont play the tier enough
2 forms of removal is far too much and unrealistic, even 1 is often times not needed
a lot of structures that function with no removal, and the rest all use 1
make hooh tera dark, rest is fine
currently the team is owned by marsh lategame, your best bet is going hooh to scout then yveltal and be forced to sucker
dayum tera dark Ho-Oh is real even outside of a calyrex-shadow meta
hmmm...
how do i not get owned by a A rank mon
maybe i just out offense them
dayum why is marsh always the bane of my existance when i team build
Hooh is good enough
u r 6-0ed by pogre
and cm darkceus
what is taunt on mmy for anyways
band marshadow without polt is also throwing
if ur running tblast ghost deo at least run something like etern or cm fairyceus for ndm
at least ur running good mons, thats a start, but this team is missing a lot and lacks synergy
i cant see what the idea was meant to be with this team.
for the stupid strats you see on low ladder
like what
and why cant any normal team deal with them
without np you are not very threatening
like contrary shell smash shucke
i dont want to deal with it
go to hooh
click whirlwind
not that hard bro
no physdef on hooh is also a bit od
i just made this a few hours ago with no prior knowledge
get some knowledge then
there are the analyses
use them, they explain what works best with what and why
the team bazaar has some good teams
we have a team and role compendium
can you just tell me how to make it "good"
i dont even know what you wanted to do with this team
again, this just looks like a random assortment of good mons with reasonable sets
there doesnt seem to be a coherant idea in mind here
you have tblast ghost deo, but no way to take advantage of ndm lured
you have no pdon, but no way to deal with pogre otherwise
2 bulky rest talkers, hooh, then 3 random breakers
thats just listing the mons movesets
you got one part right though, random
you cant just throw some mons together and assume it works
and i cant just "make it good"
thats why i dropped it here
i can change some parts and itll function completely different
to get info
yeah, the info im giving is put some effort into understanding the tier and what each mon does and why/how it does that so you can make a coherent team
theres a lot of resources on this tier that are prepared, its not hard to look through them and build a coherent team
art by Gaboswampert
The goal of this resource is to showcase good teams that are easy to pick up and use on the ladder. This should aid players in familiarizing themselves with the current National Dex Ubers metagame. We will try to actively look over the sample teams and ensure that they stay...
does anyone have a good build with lucario?
@tropic scroll may i ask how better is my team with zacian over mewtwo?
sd tera normal extreme speed
so spd and spe?
atk and speed
gotchu and ty
ill finish my build when i dp can u rate it for me?
although you can try hp instead of speed
sure
kk
when your done shoot it
kk
the problem isnt the mons, its what you plan to do with them, what does zacian do for your team that the team currently lacks
the issue is your team lacks a plan, an idea
check pyogre and arceus dark
who i autolose to
the mons are all good individually, and would only need minor set changes
it doesnt check pogre
it literally says it is a check
it also doesnt really want to hard switch into arc dark until it knows it isnt foul play or wisp
where does it say that
its offensive counterplay
yeah, which means it cant switch in
it also cant even 1v1 some of the sets
also cant beat offensive after losing boosts
which is common for zacian of off ho
you pair it with something like sd pdon for example, since teams like that can limit the opportunities pdon comes in
so zacian alongside that pdon set can deal with pogre sufficiently
https://pokepast.es/f460f66b3c1edab4
SpA Groundceus + CB Caly-I
Got to 1750 with this
I like
But want inputs
how do u switch into giratina origin
https://pokepast.es/1e16d0c42611e522 does this work
Pivot with the grounds then into caly-i but its one of the harder mus
U need a proper dark
I was gonna say
make zac normal sd cc tera fight
u also lose to marshadow
Bet, wouldn't it be safer to run defog yvel over gira tho?
@swift fable ive made it how do i share it now?
with zyg
Instead of over zyg
here or dms
we can do dm's
Cause zyg blanket checks a ton of other stuff and its particularly effective on ladder from my experience
isnt coil zagarde good enough?
ye it should be your right
thought it was spdef
just go fairyceus > hooh shld be fine for dtail zyg
thats for pogre to do
i am thinking of making it go full spdef
But i'll try yvel ty @sonic sleet
physdef lets u mess with pdon a lot more
Didn't think of that one before in this
@ stallsun
i think maybe yvel over gira might b better
and make zyg tera water
for ndm
gives u a proper switch in into hooh
think u cld struggle vs like
tspike + tera water zyg
altho zyg in general looks a bit scary then
H
m
act maybe over zyg is better
act yeah
it is
i was wrong.
altho dd z ndm still annoying, u might wqanna go tera steel on gira o for it
@sullen jackal
Back
i was wrong, gira is the right way
as in keep gira***
but make it tera steel
THATS ALL
Gotcha lol
If ur gonna make a balance without primal Groudon u gotta have ferro or mvenu
Cuz yeah u insta lose to pyogre otherwise
he ummm uhhhh ummmm uhh
Do NOT say zekrom
he checks hooh!!!!!!!!!!!!!
just regen it back 
It doesn't have regen
It needs storm drain
And recover pp nerf
U gonna get chipped like crazy
(yeah thats why the
)
as the person who put together those resources Zacian-C is offensive counterplay to Primal Kyogre because +1 wild charge ohkoes offensive sets unless they run no speed (requires some hp and near max def evs iirc) and ohkoes defensive sets after some chip. As Adem mentioned, it doesn't switch safely at all. Origin Pulse OHKOes from offensive sets and Scald still hits hard while threatening a burn from defensive sets
also re: the triple ground. It has a very tough time with offensive pogre
what is flash cannon for?
cause pdon is basically better than camerupt in every way
your team is overall very passive
either fix that or add dodonzo
He doesnt learn a lot special moves
I can add overheat instead of flashc
use pdon instead
Pdon
primal groudon
wrong thread
Thx
not sure if this is meant for nd ubers or nd ou but in either case, its unviable and you should look at the resources for the tier
https://pokepast.es/f89a73a3968d80f1
Does this look solid
weather teams dont really work in this tier
the best pokemon in the game hard counters them
virtually every team will have primal groudon, which means virtually every team will be able to completely shut you down
Oh fck lol ur right, guess I'll just kick out Kyogre and go to OU
252+ Atk Iron Fist Melmetal Double Iron Bash (2 hits) vs. 248 HP / 76 Def Yveltal: 270-318 (59.3 - 69.8%) -- approx. 2HKO
I finally get to use melmetal
https://pokepast.es/dd3caeac3038aa41
I made this team pretty quickly, but it's doing surprisingly well (maybe just because I'm low ladder)
shit I forgot tera
why clear amulet?
just in case of Intimidate stall, I see that a fair bit nowadays
theres like one good intimidate pokemon in the tier
and it will only ever activate it once
I guess
idk I suppose I could just slap life orb on it and it would be better
most people run boots, but i odnt think lo is bad
boots actually makes much more sense if it's one of my troom setters
the only good melmetal teams ive seen so far is that trick room one with choice band tera steel, idk about yours.
Melmetal's flinch chance is already ~50%, you'd rather have Choice Band to have more power rather than banking off of flinches, since you're more prone to being revenge killed by the target once Trick Room ends.
Calyrex-Ice is better off using Choice Band as well, since the only Intimidate user is Mega Salamence, which happens once, and loses regardless. Use it with Trick over Trick Room to punish Tera Water Zygarde and Dondozo, since Calyrex-I is a very mediocre setter.
Kingambit isn't a Trick Room mon in NDUbers since you're better off using either another Trick Room setter (Cresselia, Arceus with Mental Herb or Lunala) or a better attacker (Primal Groudon, Primal Kyogre and Necrozma-DM). By time the endgame comes, Trick Room will be over and it'll be worn down very quickly due to Life Orb.
Hatterene should use Focus Sash instead of Leftovers so it doesn't die as a lead. It should also have Healing Wish so it can bring in allies much more easier after it sets Trick Room.
Ursaluna-BM sucks on Trick Room, it's C- and it wasn't even good because of TR, just use Primal Kyogre, or even better, another Trick Room setter like Cresselia, with Lunar Dance to make up for Melmetal's and Calyrex-I's poor PP.
Zygarde doesn't fit here and again you're better off using a better attacker or a Trick Room setter like Arceus.
Let's not ignore that King's Rock does not trigger on moves that innately have a flinch chance (meaning that it doesn't stack nor does anything of note here)
ALRIGHT melmetal's back baby and now he can 2hko pdon
heat crash is better than overheat in almost every scenario
oh sorry, i meant fire punch
heat crash is better than fire punch
done
however, I'm noticing I lose to yveltal almost every time
idk what a good check would be
or who to cut
generally you'd want to run eruption on pdon
lunala with / tr/ teleport/moongeist/moonblast and tera fairy works
fwiw generally tr is 3 setters (hatt>arceus>lunala>cress) / 3 attackers (caly-i> primal groudon > primal kyogre > melmetal) and melmetal pairs best w cress
https://pokepast.es/3b152a2a2ff7c0af something like this * forgot to put tera ice on caly-i
part of the problem w/ trick room is that is very linear with little ways to get around its poor matchups (pretty much everything other than ho)
caly-i can be 0 speed ivs as well ig
Where can I use this team
natdex ou
By extension rates of this would go in https://discord.com/channels/192713314399289344/1059714627384115290
Darkium Z Chi-Yu HO
https://pokepast.es/58594e87c712a603
Go tera steel on shuckle
And ngl taunt ddance (or even sd) groundceus would be better than pdon here
Maybe even eruption pdon over SD 3a
Yeah this team doesn't do super hot into stall (even if that's kinda niche ig)
Esp if u don't have taunt or even overheat on chi yu
so taunt over flamethrower?
Ye
why did u post this in both of the wrong channels
#1059714627384115290
this explicitely says non ou, and the other says svou
Ur not sigma mate
