Ya sure, I was also thinking perhaps gliscor is fine also since it can set up on pex once and threaten it out + can roost off magma storm damage.
Either or is fine though
Sure
Ya I was thinking in the long run gliscor might’ve just been fine since pex toxic/burn spams can be annoying.
i rlly don't know wut specifically it is for, but is it for zhb medi?
Then?
Ye
so knock for haze?
I think you could knock over tspikes cause of how pex is everywhere it can just come in to remove them
And others ofc like amoong
Yeah yeah
Final paste
Looks fine now ig?
Wait SR on ferro
I forgot to give it back
Works
Thanks!
Paya can also be for psychic volc as well by the way
I kinda forgot that’s used a bit
Moreso SS ya
@winter drift I struggled a lot with medi
since no lando rips
Payapa not enough for Pex
Also Heatran outsped my Gliscor
Spdef
Mhmmmm
There’s another option we could do @dry bay
Well mhm
How fast is gliscor with those evs
254
One thing we could perhaps do is maybe like have torn be z user (superpower for Tran/ttars) and make rotom-wash over koko with defog perhaps while having lando over gliscor perhaps
I also didn’t wanna mention this but slowbro does also exist but probably not as good bc of pursuit and such and I honestly did think of heatran over scizor a bit for a better chance against volc.
So MSlowbro? Then Z Torn?
Mega bro is kinda cool now that I think of it, ya you can try those options for sure
Wait if I use Mbro, shud I get rid of pex?
The team struggles with mmedi, only solutions that I could think of are like reun or slowbro, or just faster mons against it.
Probably if it helps you with that kind of matchup
So like mmbro, torn t, tran, ferro, gliscor/lando (whichever you go with), and koko/or washtom.
For speed control ye
Mega slowbro beats mega medi?
Slowbro @ Slowbronite
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 248 HP / 96 Def / 164 SpD
Bold Nature
- Scald
- Ice Beam
- Slack Off
- Flamethrower
Even with touchy ?
Yes if it’s not thunder punch
Tpunch
Or this one?
It usually runs like fake out 3 attack
Does mega slowbro not need
Psycic stab
What would tpunch do
It’s nice for slowbro/steela
2hko most likely
It was probably like max speed ngl
Usually it shouldn’t be that fast
Since max hits like 278
But with lefties?
U guys got any of abrs samples
That's p odd ngl
btw is this fine? or shud I give more Def evs?
Usually it runs like 76 but has calm nature
So ya it was an oddball
76 spdef?
Spe
That set on slowbro is fine btw
No mega ?
or maybe MBro can deal it?
Oh wait
Doesn’t always need a mega
252 Atk Kartana Leaf Blade vs. 252 HP / 76+ Def Slowbro-Mega: 198-234 (50.2 - 59.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Oh
I was talking about
The team has no mega mon
Wait so non mega slowbro?
Oh that’s what you mean xd
I thought they meant like megas in general in sm ou
But ya mega slowbro
So u loose to scarftana?
You mentioned kart also, was thinking we could zap here with defog, that way we can free up torn from using defog and you could run offensive instead.
With like fight z for ttar/tran/mag
Fight Z?
Me for 2 years now
Superpower
It’s my second day
Going 3 this march
Rip
Fightinium Z with superpower ?
I see
It’s also decent for ferro a bit since a lot do run spdef
Brother
But usually torn runs heat wave
the spread?

I faced a team like this
This fine?
With fat sample
I was told
To never do
Hasty / naive tornadus t
When lmfao
Like today
What’s your user on showdown btw
Mhm, 76 attack 180 spa should suffice tbh. You could also go full spa with heat wave in place of knock with 4 attack evs.
And obv the rest in speed
eirone
Is this good
4 attack evs enough to ohko Tran and Chipped Mag?
the team is a bit, err
Rated errrr
MAmphy is only good in TR iirc
The guy at 2 was laddering with it
I saw replays
And then I found this team in comp general
Les battle sometime if ur free
https://pokepast.es/c017e1d443417a08 @winter drift this is fine ig?
sure
Naive lando T ?
Isn’t hp ice just for
Pressuring
It’s mainly for Tran since z move should kill for the most part. Like it doesn’t need a lot of investment to kill it
Also now that I think about it, knock is fine to take out lefties
Landos
Nvm it’s knock nvm nvm
Yeah I kept the knock off
You want defog on zap for hazard control, you could run that over Hp ice.
sd weavile > hydreigon, toxic koko > kart, clear smog > yawn on gastro, iron defense > thunder and stored power > psyshock on reu with leftovers instead of life orb, brave bird > body press on corvi, idk why you have attack investment in a gastrodon but please put that in def
essentially builds you around a reu sweep, koko and weav both support defensive builds like that
could also put helmet on clef to help chip opposing weavile, which is the big threat
brave bird on corvi is so that you dont auto lose to SD rillaboom
clear smog helps you beat volcarona
which you otherwise get smoked by
Maybe the attack is for Eq haha but it's still not hitting any good. So yea he must go Def
when i asked that question i am asking what calc does that investment achieve
i know it is because he has eq
i want to know what exactly it does
Just noticing the 16 attack on gastro 🙊
16 attack 3hkoes melm
about it rly
Yo btw did u hab any MPins HO?
Mega Pinsir
I think I have one
Watch a replay of a Pokémon battle between ohbebe and eirone ([Gen 7] OU)
lmfao My problem now is dark types
or maybe I just played it too badly
Opinions about this one? https://pokepast.es/633622809bb8e93f
And yes lead jolteon IS a thing
Its ADV
Man i LOVE lead jolteon
Leading with fast mons is good ngl
When do u want to play
Let's play in a min.
Let's go?
eirone
Lemme get on
Accept
You know about the Game?
Sm ou
Oh we are done battling
Someone helped me and made changes
His name was Monai I don't know if you know him maybe
@night eagle
u know what i think il just forfeit lol
used this account enough for testing teams
gg
do you mind sending me your teams pokepaste
just wanna try it out in lower ladder
weavile stall
Stall?
lol
Oh ye
yes
i just touched 1700
mostly was in 1650s
then went to 1400s
lol
Bolt Beam MLati is better ig. Also I don't like scarf serp generally. And clef needs more bulk with CM.
lmfa are u bearing with me? 🤣
ur stall was destroyed by one of my team 🤣
But some of my teams doesn't have stall breakers so yeah. I lost there I admit
Okay
I was gonna change the serperior
The guy told me to put Defog on serperior
So serperior Substitute Defog leaf storm and Glare?
Without hidden power fire
Or basic smogon substitute set with HP fire
And a Defog gliscor
And stealth rocks clefable
Joke only HAHAHA. Ur good for a newbie ngl. Try joining tours too
ye i was just foexing that i reached 1600 elo
If I put a calm mind clefable isn't my team's gonna be too passive?

Like this kageyama???
Maybe with more defense and a bold nature
And more speed to out speed paralysed lopunny mega
Maybe
almost at top 100
Gg
Were u fighting me ?
What
Doesnt this lose to weavile
And ttar
Why keldeo?
And make this z ice kyub with sub hone claws
Kyub hone claws?
Can still cm sweep
Yea to make the stall match up easier
Isn't the stall match-up already good with sub kyub?
Mhm
And keldeo over clefable
Looks fine @obtuse prairie could you look at it again
I think you might want draco mlati for zardx but not sure
Don't think it's necessary since I can thunder Wave it
It's better to kill him
But thunder waves seems better anyway
Im saying over thunder
Oh
U keep ice beam on twave mlati always
Yeah but kageyama said me that it was better to have Bolt beam mega latias
Wich of you do I listen?
Both work but draco might be betterw
But i pinged the rater and theyre more qualifird
So wait for them id say
draco isnt the best on mlati typically
you'd rather fog/psychic/coverage hp since its utility lati
if you do go fog lati tho you can change glis to sd or smth
gren also sort of runs thru the team, might be worth putting a dark resist over serp/keld
speed control also doesnt exist
overall prob cant get away with serp/keld/kyub in the same team
Keld i suggested to put over clef because team lost to ttar and weav
No ice beam?
glis + ferro is prob enough for ttar pivoting wise, tho yea this team does let it come in quite often
im saying these moves over draco
Oh ok
I can paralysis victini with ferrothorn on the switch
You may not be able to afford serp here
😦
Because of your main structure
So you either get rid of serp or like
Kyub which i assume u dont want
bulu may not be bad but weavile still goes to town, idk if you can do kyub + mlati atp
the dark weakness is still decently glaring since vile and ttar can still decimate bulu
Yeah so we keep serperior
Bulu at least tries to patch up specs gren issue
ye
You got a point
Which just sets spikes dark pulses a few times and wins
Hmm lemme think
Swap split magearna>ferro
And defog mlati
Should work
With bulu
Ice beam thunder wave defog roost
And then rocks glis ofc
do you majorly need twave?
I assume the idea here was getting the fast guys parad and getting the kyub to sub
yea but you also have a couple of abusers
And go to town against everything slower than it
not just one mon and the rest of the team in BO
also still need a speed control cover
I wish urshifu was in this game
Is something like scarf bulu or scarf keld that bad to consider here?
scarf keld is kind of eh, i havent seen scarf bulu in a while but i never rly thought highly of it either
I like Scarf greninja but i guess it is hard to fit in
tho i think you can just replace keld
With Scarf gren?
Replacing keld wouldnt be so bad with bulu mage
So we remove serp?
Remove serp as you arent reliant on para that much
Would rather take the gren check here
Spdef sd with protect
Ok
Is it the best option?
Im looking at ash gren and scarf wash rn
Gren can revenge kill volcarona zard x
And just kill ttar and weavile with low kick
Anyway I gtg sorry thanks for the help
We'll continue the team later maybe
Bye
https://pokepast.es/9dffad6cbdb937f0 @obtuse prairie i did some thinkering and i assume this works
Bit weak to kartana
with mlati it shouldnt be too bad
wincon is a bit worrying tho
once kyub blows its z team cant pierce thru teams as well
Can do cm split mage
To take advantage of double nuke

i think you need defensive mage here, need to check a lot of stuff
i was thinking make gren a rocker and glis sd
tbh i dont see you clicking twave that often or benefitting from twave rather
might be different in practice but thats what i mostly think
Imo you need either twave or draco for zardx on this team
Otherwise it just punishes nearly every non gren mon
Zardy is also pretty hard to punish with mono ice beam
Zardy is also pretty hard to punish with mono ice beam
yea thats the other thing, i dont see you getting away with mono ibeam, seems passive
zard y is a bit w/e not like it can beat you
I think u go draco here
So what we keep and what do we remove
Hi edeak
this has kind of differentiated from paraspam so
if you wanna try building paraspam again the common builds for it is typically mhera + serp as the core
#comp-general for incomplete teams
yes
Oh ok
dont need surf and ibeam rly
you have gastro for tran, between that and mlati should be able to pivot fine against most variants
ghostium is a odd pick on reuni, you'd rather electrium or fightinium to be ablt to deal with dark types reliably
My main issue with rocker>gren is
You become even more fodder to zardx than u already are
i wouldnt worry that much about zard x
isnt too popular + only consistent on like one playstyle
What about grassium Z
thats where pivoting mlati comes in
if you're that worried about tran you can always go hp ground or fighting
those have more coverage on other threats asw
also dont think twave is needed here at all
Still dont feel comfortable building a super weak team to a strong mon
if anything sp cm might be better
if you wanna try it go for it, see how it does
Ill try a bit more
If i cant ill just build another team
I don't know I don't really like heracross Mega that much
It don't bother me to build an entirely new team I just wanna stay on a paraspam one
It looks really strong
Paraspam is good but you need more mons that benefit it
Yeah
Yeah good idea
This team is hard to work without major changes
Wanna 1 v 1 for fun ?
Says ur offline
Retry
what does jolt even do for u on this team
that lead zapdos does not?
If you do major changes on the team is my team stills gonna be a paraspam?
2 thunder waves user and pokemon that abuses it
Kyurem Black I think is the biggest paraspam abuser
Every time I tried the team at the end kyurem black cleaned the team when every threat was paralysed
I think if my team keeps kyurem black I can accept major changes
being faster than anything else in the metagame
What does that do for you
that i dont actually care about dugtrio that much
In the speedtier between zap and jolteon what does that do for u (gengar, starmie, +1 ddtar)
Yes it will be paraspam but at that point it wont be your team
It will be mine
pivoting with batton pass
The problem is not dug, the problem is that jolteon is weak and has bad entry and usually only fits on that one spikestack build
Itd be better for you to just build on your own ideas and then get help
Zapdos has baton pass
wait fr?
Okay
okey then ill use dos instead of jolteon
anything else to say?
i put that snorlax to check suicune, that is kinda annoying for my team
its like physical offense with zard as the skarmbliss breaker instead of mag
then i could use mixed ttar?
https://pokepast.es/ffe64a1b501b9b1f @obtuse prairie
I think u can just put a claydol somewhere but gimme two mins
what is z poison for and cress
Z poison is for sniping fini so there isnt misty terrain to worry about
Cress is just a paralysis spreader that beats mmedi
why not mew atp
meh takes around the same + cress is largely useless otherwise/can be stalled out of recovery easily
also dont rly have speed control
Felt like gren + paraspam was largely fine since my paraspammers are not easy to take down
well try it and see
if you have problems lmk and we can try to fix
its difficult to really gauge how new structures like this would do in the metagame purely off speculation
What do you guys think about it???
With a band victini with final gambit over Zen headbutt
no dark resist and speed control
sry but most of the team is unviable, id advise checking sample teams, vr and smogdex to become more familiar with teambuilding
Alright
@obtuse prairie (sorry if I'm annoying) https://pokepast.es/aac45fa9cf7c144a
I changed and built around tapu Fini+kyurem black
speed control is still a little shaky
rule of thumb for mlop speed control is making sure you have a solid defense against the things you miss out on
I thought lopunny mega was enough
ie mzam
also fini defeats the purpose of paraspam
Yeah I know but it goes really well with kyurem black so I thought it would've been okay
atp just dont run paraspam
I don't know what to play then
The team worked fine but i tried to make some adjustments and got a little sidetracked
what were the problems
KokoLucha was the main problem
As mmedi forced damage on cress and cress got into ranges of hawlucha really fast
Psyspam was also really messy to deal with
oh yea no speed control + no secondary answer would do that
So i first tried weavile
It could revenge kill lucha with ice shard, pursuit trap the psychics clicking psychic moves and knock off mzam, etc
And then i was like
Do i even need gren anymore
how do you knock off zam
Main idea of knock off zam is knocking off the assault vest off of magearna
So lele blows it up
Im pretty sure some drop focus but i may be wrong
dropping focus basically just eliminates zam's threat level by half
Anyways vile was mostly for the lucha part
when you cant drop all of its so called checks
Because vile could trap mlati i was like hey
Lets go volcanion
That also walls fini anyways
But then the issue became im still too slow and idk how to fix it
Then to break pex more easily i wanted to run tpunch mmaw
So i switched to aoa
sd seems a little better here tbh, since you have no other major breaking factor
that sounds nice
It can theoretically both remove electric terrain and capitalize on mmedi
idt you need vile with mmaw
since mmaw smashes most vile targets as is
- can fuck up koklucha terrain positioning
er this is wrt lele lul
lost myself for a sec
Yea i got it
alternative fini over volcanion for lucha check and another form of speed control over vile
I prefer having volc but ill try that too

Hello smogon
Wanna battle anybody if ur Available
What’s this bo?
BO is bulky offense. Mostly consists of two to three breakers that are bulky enough to withstand a hit. BO also good for Bulky setup sweepers.
This is samples xtrashine lmfao. But u can use the german variant tho with Waterium Z Spikes AGren > Fini. Then Specs > scarf koko.
Fleur Cannon > Flash cannon on magearna. So u can heart swap the -2 spA.
not sure of specs gren here
like sun and gren combo
maybe scarf gren
protean here would be nice
Yes but charizard y is a early game wallbreakers and ash gren a late game sweeper
So I don't think there will be sun anyway
fair enough
I personally like modest as it kills spdef lando
and that charizard set is bad
run fire blast/flamethrower , solar beam, focus blast and roost if u want roost or hp ice for dnite
Dite isn't important
Dnite
Solar beam and focus blast yeah probably I suppose I can kill heatran with focus blast
Charizard Y Modest?
ye
No I have to be as fast as possible
ye 2ohko
https://pokepast.es/268feed9eea0efc5
How do i not die to sun victini cb v create
To out speed tapu Lele and kyurem black
You can't
pex is the only resist
cb victini too good
yea
shits on stall
I don't think pex is good to check a 277 base power move
im 422 def pex
nothing chck it
not in stall atleasst
wait
quagsire?
tru
can
I don't think quag will tank
Quag for Clef
thats actually gay both crawdaunt and vic
will that work
If pex doesn't tank there's no chance quagsire tanks
idts
get healbell on chansey
i mean
then
yea
Heal Bell with gliscor? Maybe not
i just have to make sure gliscro doesnt lose his orb
i cant put heal bell anyways
i need toxic and rocks
on chansey
Well tbh CB Vic Sun is a bit rare ngl. And u can wear it down p easily with Hazards
Rocks is enough ig
yea
it enough
but how is quagsire replacement on clef as a change though
https://pokepast.es/f6e2ed05022e3c23
Kageyama what do you think of this team?
change the zard set bro
@opal beacon
that set is actually unviable
Don't use roost lmfao
can use np
zard is a miss machien with that set
remov defog and like make a chang

slash/focus blast if u can kill opposing heatran with ur lando then cool dont use fb if not then use it
I told him that if he wanted gren then he should use protean orb
with gunk shot , low kick and stuff
idk. He needs more Defensive options
gunk shot
low kick
spikes
ice beam
Since his tran is offensive rn

Okay
go tran
What if
weavile doesnt run low kick mostly
its either LO or band
band more commonly
LO >
Band Gren?

Gren
What move
Ok
That's what I made
I changed the sets
Yes
I changed it for u
Boosted HP fire 


actually u dont
but again its boosted hp fire in sun
ye its for kart too
3 fire types is cool
maybe pump
The Rain MU is a bit
but ur fine
Why hpump with expert belt
Rain match-up is alright because I have Zard y
With solar beam
Wich destroy swampert
its alright as long as u dont die to rocks
Yes
no
Okay so
they will just switch to torn
One thing about zard y teams

Yes
defog defog defog
You practically need a pursuit trapper

So you deal damage to mega latias
wont kill
What

expert belt gren with ice beam
AYE AYE AYE
Why it doesn't kill it
Mega latias isnt switching into gren
and gunk shot in case thy switch to fairy aye aye aye
Ahh that's why they often run Dual weather for zard Y
ofc its not I meant that we have something for it at least
I prefer weavile but ttar zard y is ran yea
Ttar so you have better match-up against rain
But I don't know what to remove for ttar
Zardy comps usually consist of
Zardy weavile defog fini defog kart with z ,lando and zapdos
Defog scarf kart
Defog z kart
Yeah I have 1 zardy team lemme find
aHH
Synthesis with grassium or fightinium
Just Zap for torn, and Kart for Drill
tbh, I don't feel comfortable having hurriane on torn with Sand and Sun in my team 
But I wanna build my own team 😦
zardy is really limitting in terms of building
cuz it requires very specific stuff to work
but you can try
a flier, a water, a ground, double removal, way to remove/get heavy damage on mega latias and kommo-o and pex
Okay I'll try with this list
and ofc the mandatory parts of a team like speed control, defensive backbone
@opal beacon
idk why am I feeling perfectionism in this team 🤣
bye
Goodbye glimmeow
I was probably online at one point yeah
Hello based god
Hello
thats the oras ou team no ?
teams nice
u got mag counters
u got lucha counters
Hmm. U more defense evs on lando ig
232 impish is enough
heres smou stuff
you are good at smouing
Is ferrothorn here a good pokemon to replace maybe heatran
That doesn't even trap chansey that well
wdym
heatran owns chansey
magma storm toxic taunt and tect is the best set out there
Okay no earth power??
THE BEST CHANSEY trapper is heatran
u can go for it if u want
but tect is always nice
with toxic
Okay
also maybe catch a hjk with tect
mind games always
act like no tect and then tect on the hjk
Ok
252 HP/232 Def/24 speed
A based God needs sleeping
It tanks more effectively than the standard Defense. And allows it to live one -1 Ice Punch + HJK from MMedi iirc
With only rolls
Wow
Only rolls tho
Nice
But ofc, don't always expect it will live. U can still switch in Fini for emergency
use tect my g
wait
no toxic
tf
run storm taunt tect toxic
Oh I forgot I got gren to kill pex
Okay I think the team is good like this we will wait maybe based god so he can give even more precise advice
But anyway thanks alpha and kageyama for all the help :)))
np
can I also steal it 😳

Hehe u know me alpha. HAHAHA
yo @raw hornet I tested ur team. And u rlly lose to MZam outside vic
So try to preserve ur vic when facing Mzam
Well didn't tested that too much. But so far yes
Oh I see
I copied the team
From somebody
Just gave it ev spreads
Watch a replay of a Pokémon battle between Liderax and German111 ([Gen 7] OU)
This is the guy I copied from
Ik this guy too. He got Greninja at first tho. He made the german xtrashine variant iirc
Anyone for a SM OU fight?
Also my friend gave him 100 points from 1600s to 1700s 🤣
Wanna play?
Ye
send to eirone
Personally no, but I have battled him many times. I dunno if he's a real person or a bot lmfao.
