smh

#

Talon w.o removal on balance == unviable

#

Dia doesnt deny the most common rocker in the tier being mold breaker driller

leaden fiber
#

theres a defog gliscor right there sire

silver reef
#

U sad defog + pheal

#

In ORAS

#

._.

leaden fiber
#

wait what is oras defog

silver reef
#

Zerkas….

leaden fiber
#

i told u i hate oras

silver reef
#

Defog pre USUM had to be transferred from DPP

#

And pheal is a hidden ability

#

Do u see the problem now?

leaden fiber
#

oh so it doesnt work?

silver reef
#

Oui

leaden fiber
#

oh

#

oof

#

oras sux

silver reef
#

If u wanna use defog scor it needs to be with sand veil or hyper cutter

#

And at that point u lose the niche of gliscor

naive stump
leaden fiber
rugged fossil
#

I later changed it to sand veil

rugged fossil
silver reef
#

I assumed scor wasnt fog cause u cant use it w/ pheal

#

But since u appeared to have fixed it (albeit defog glisc is terrible in oras) u can prolly fix ur rotom wash weakness next

#

Ur team also has like zero wallbreaking potential

rugged fossil
silver reef
#

Scarf keld sucks, talon is firing blanks into bulky waters like slowbro and rotom

rugged fossil
#

Of that

silver reef
#

No steel also means clef or opposing dia is gonna ruin u

rugged fossil
#

I see

silver reef
#

U can do like

rugged fossil
#

Prolly like scarfed steel

silver reef
#

Serp bro talon dia exca clef

rugged fossil
#

Actually

#

Exca

silver reef
#

Scarf exca is bad outside of HO

#

Zero longevity with a bulkier team

rugged fossil
#

Not scarf

#

Sand

#

I have a ttar

#

Remember

silver reef
#

Yea u could

#

ive yet to see a talon team work with sand but yea

rugged fossil
silver reef
#

Yea u prolly need serp on this

#

U need some way to pressure fatter builds

#

Over gliscor

rugged fossil
#

Does serp get defog

silver reef
#

It doesnt

#

But spin if u play it well is good enough

#
  • u need wincons vs fat more than double removal
rugged fossil
#

I see

#

Subset serp?

silver reef
#

Prolly fine

rugged fossil
silver reef
#

Wisp SD talon is better

#

Flare blitz bb almost never wins unless ur opp chokes or u have natural gift grass

rugged fossil
#

I see

silver reef
#

I also really would suggest clef > ttar

#

Spdef clef mainly

rugged fossil
#

Ye

silver reef
#

It gives u an actual dark resist + compresses thundurus + volcanion check in one slot

#

And u can afford it cause u have other ways to rk volc with talon

#
  • better vs zam too
rugged fossil
silver reef
#

Rocks clef can prolly work here too cause u can punish spin with helmet bro

rugged fossil
#

Vs thst

silver reef
#

But spdef clef walls mzam so long as they dont crit or spdef drop u

rugged fossil
#

I see

#

Otherwise is the team fine ?

silver reef
#

Yea it looks much better

rugged fossil
#

Alright ty m8

New OU RMT @azure torrent, @orchid tiger, @hasty ingot, @rugged hinge. I won't notify you again for at least 6 hours.

tribal smelt
#

I posted an idea like this earlier this week but it feels like I do not know what helps abuse grassy terrain here

#

I might swap out Rilla for Bulu and work from there

#

Some of the teams I saw last gen that worked like this used banded weavile for progress with Swampert but I personally am not a big fan

peak canyon
hazy grotto
#

plus you can’t use status moves with AV

New OU RMT @azure torrent, @obtuse prairie, @naive stump. I won't notify you again for at least 6 hours.

naive stump
#

Looks alright

#

I'm not liking at all the diggersby tho

#

And neither the lando scarf

#

Might put another scarfer over diggersby

#

And makes the lando RH/Z/lefto

#

Prob Z-fly with SD

#

Hum

#

Kartana or Victini I think

#

Lele scarf might work but its a bit weird with the prio you got

#

But you got a good idea with vile + medi

#

Np

#

Another variant you could makes

#

Is volcarona over weavile if you want

#

Both options are alright imo

#

Anw, structure is fine like that

#

Just toy a bit and see what you like the most

balmy willow
#

so sorry for the late response, didnt check cuz no ping so i thought it got buried

really thanks for your feedback ill definitely look into mew. i mainly picked azelf cuz faster and outspeeds mew, also like its BST more.

there isn't much to work with here
got it, ill try something else later.

Weezing galar on HO..
was told that i need something more tanky, it also provides anti fighting and anti fairy coverage in one..

anyway, tyallsm for the feedback!

late fog
#

@naive stump (done with it)

#

gen 7 OU

naive stump
#

Need to change the fini's spread, kinda outdated imo

#

Also, not fond of the speed control as usual

#

But not sure what to remove here on this team

#

I'm feeling you can go without heatran or ferro

#

But no heatran makes Scizor really annoying

#

And removing ferro for something like kart scarf kinda works but makes koko annoying

#

And you lose spikes as well

#

Could do something like

#

KB + Zam + Victini Scarf + Lando + Ferro + Rotom-Wash

#

Makes gren really annoying because no dark-resist

#

But KB + Zam + Kart Scarf + Lando + Heatran + Fini also works

rugged fossil
#

Pretty sure he had fini

#

Ye

rugged fossil
#

Fini

naive stump
rugged fossil
#

252 hp 152 def 88 spD 16 spee is what i use for fini

naive stump
#

Ig

#

Need spedef for gren and tran tho

rugged fossil
#

88 spD works ig

naive stump
#

I usually use physdef when I'm really weak to chomp

#

But it makes gren and tran really scary for endgame

rugged fossil
naive stump
#

Esp gren

#

Old builds

#

But yh

rugged fossil
#

I see

naive stump
#

Bold 96 def

rugged fossil
#

100 spee

#

96 def

#

56 spD

#

252 hp

#

Pretty sure 96 def is for +2 continental crush from chomp

naive stump
#

I know kek

late fog
naive stump
#

I dont use spread without knowing the purpose

#

Just test

#

I like the KB + zam + tran core

rugged fossil
naive stump
#

Like

#

KB + zam works well

rugged fossil
#

Oh spreads in general

naive stump
#

But you def need something to abuse sciaor

#

Yh, in general

#

So a fire such as heatran makes a lot of sense

rugged fossil
#

Ye understood m8

naive stump
#

Or even zapdos

rugged fossil
#

I had to make the gliscor 136 spee on empos team

#

Banded hyper fury space was

#

A pain in the ass

#

I needed a knock off on the band

late fog
#

so the only this i need to change here is, drop heatran and go for scarf vic and rotom w>fini

naive stump
#

Yh, maybe

#

Makes the core more offensive

#

So should be fine to drop the bulk for something faster

#

But try the two version

#

Usually, I put KB + Zam on balance tbf kek

#

But it can work on offense or BO as well

#

Just need enough offense to compensate the amount of bulk you put on the squad

late fog
rugged fossil
#

U got any balanced teams

#

Around m disncie

naive stump
#

Dont you have already that skype balance with z-ice toxa?

naive stump
#

Might makes KB roost instead

#

With Jolly nature also

late fog
#

kb learn roost?

#

learns*

naive stump
#

The drop of SpA is not important as Ice beam from KB with minus nature in SpA still OHKO careful gliscor

#

Yh

#

Also, makes the ferro twave for zard-y and volcarona MU

late fog
#

ah

naive stump
#

I like more knock off lando here

late fog
#

knock off > toxic

naive stump
#

Remove item of rotom and flying steel such as celes and skarm

late fog
#

sounds good right?

naive stump
#

Yh

#

Also

#

If you run final gambit on vic

#

Need almost full HP

late fog
#

mhm

naive stump
#

At least 395 for bro and all

#

You'rz running full atk on the past kek

late fog
naive stump

#

Fat is a form of balance for me

#

But, yh, fat

rugged fossil
#

Ye shit empos fat is my best usage

#

I’m playing this gen after ages lol

late fog
#

kaiser is hoopa good?

#

also what kind of teams does it fit in?

naive stump
#

Hoopa is a bit weird

#

Not that worth imo

#

And only good to counter bad stall/fat

tribal smelt
#

Too fast for trickroom mon has no home

naive stump
#

It's alright with volt-turn support ig

#

Hum

#

I think its fine

#

But just as a sole TR abuser

#

Like TR hoopa as a set

#

Just like TR mag

#

Funny but not good imo

rugged fossil
#

Tr is a nieche play style

naive stump
#

TR is fine imo

rugged fossil
#

I try to avoid it as much as possible

naive stump
#

Not the usual shit with azelf maw TR mag tho

#

More like the TRs that Zaza made

rugged fossil
#

I’ve tried

tribal smelt
#

Literally only exists to feast on bad stall idk I hate hoopa so much
One random pivot cope U turn and your whole plan explodes plus its annoying to build I would not use it earnestly atm

rugged fossil
#

Using ramphardos

#

Tr

naive stump
#

Yh

rugged fossil
#

But that was8 dex

naive stump
#

I dislike hoopa also

tribal smelt
#

I cant deny it being useful though

#

Mon has absurd calcs

#

Its a matter of making those calcs matter in real play

naive stump
#

But yh

#

TR sun of zaza

#

Is prob the only viable TR in sm ou

tribal smelt
#

If its sole purpose is as some 6th dead slot TR it fits

#

Like wtf outspeeds Ferro

#

Ferro is usually dead by the time you TR

naive stump
#

Yh

tribal smelt
#

Means you get to freely click your 170 something bst dark for free

naive stump
#

TR is weird to build anw

#

Zaza always tell to me

#

That a good TR

#

Should always works outside of the TR

tribal smelt
#

I think you can only do dedicated TR with two conditions

  1. Metagame defense bst is so low your TR abusers gets to freely run hog wild if youve got a dead turn to TR on (SwSh)
  2. Your tr abuser is independent
naive stump
#

Yh

#

Its a hard playstyle to build

late fog
#

zaza?

naive stump
#

Exactly like stall

late fog
#

does it function well though?

tribal smelt
#

It functions like TR lol basically a coinflip

late fog
#

which mon is zaza again?

naive stump
tribal smelt
#

Games end at turn 7 or your team gets picked apart with 1 dead on enemy team

naive stump
#

And basically the only dude able to build good sun

late fog
#

oh ah

tribal smelt
#

Ladder heroes are ladder heroes and shouldnt really be used as team steals

#

More like an example on what youre supposed to do

#

I have a bunch ive saved from SwSh OU and translating their playstyle is not friendly for standard play

rugged fossil
#

Doesent bramito boy also run drought

naive stump
#

Yh

#

Not his only alt tho

rugged fossil
#

They’re the same guys?

naive stump
#

Not sure for bramito boy

#

I know steatlhy koala

rugged fossil
#

I’ve always won bramito boy

naive stump
#

And TnT boom

rugged fossil
#

I have mu every time

#

He uses av lele

#

Keldeo

naive stump
#

I dont think its him then kek

rugged fossil
#

Char Y

tribal smelt
#

Also Stall in SM wouldnt be so coinflippy if you didnt need to run like 5 different variants to cover ladder makes the builder ass

rugged fossil
#

Koko

naive stump
#

Zaza crush me all the time

tribal smelt
#

Probably said that like 50 times lol

naive stump
#

And I already played againt you

rugged fossil
#

I think I have a

#

Replay vs zaza

rugged fossil
naive stump
#

You're liderax?

rugged fossil
#

Ye that’s my brothers account

#

But I use that

#

Now

naive stump
#

Ah

#

Brother

rugged fossil
#

Main is

naive stump
#

Mb then

rugged fossil
#

Fdmw125

rugged fossil
#

He doesent use that

#

He uses Liderax test now

#

He doesent play sm ou

#

Using that

#

Lemme find the replay vs

#

Zaza

tribal smelt
#

This is because german111 is the last hercules challenge to breach SM high ladder
Or highvort3x randomly running stall in a tier it sucks in which happens constantly on replays

naive stump
#

German111 sucks tho

rugged fossil
#

True

#

He’s been using the same team for 3 years

#

I usually win over him

naive stump
#

Yh lol

rugged fossil
#

I have a handful of replays

#

Against him

naive stump
#

He sucks so much lol

tribal smelt
#

Its more telling of skill if you do lose is what I meant more WeirdChamp

naive stump
#

Ah

#

Ic

#

But, yh, that's stall for you

#

I know that treeman got some decent squad

#

But, as usual, its a question of how much you want to invest to build something overall viable

rugged fossil
naive stump
#

Like, zaza spent years to master sun

rugged fossil
naive stump
#

And build sun

#

Yh

tribal smelt
#

Also highvortex is highvortex last time I spectated he was bashing 1500s+ in Gen 5 OU with Slowbro stall

#

Dude is impervious to quality checking I fuck with him

rugged fossil
#

Did I say that?

#

Oh ye my reuni survived at 1 hp

naive stump
#

Yh

rugged fossil
naive stump
#

Oh well, I beat your ass once with CM clef kek

rugged fossil
#

Cm clef?

#

I don’t remember

#

Was I using empos fat

naive stump
#

At least, I beat the liderax alt with the empo fat

#

With camerupt CM clef

rugged fossil
#

I see

naive stump
#

I was under SolFB alt

rugged fossil
#

That’s weird I shouldn’t loose to a sameript

rugged fossil
#

And took tspikes

naive stump
#

Yh lol

rugged fossil
#

So I couldn’t twave with chansey

naive stump
#

Dont remember

#

Nah

rugged fossil
#

And then my only bet was haze pex

#

Ok ye I don’t remember then

naive stump
#

You threw chansey for some reason

#

And I just pressure the rest

#

Aka toxa glis lop

#

My CM clef was LO moonblast and tbolt

rugged fossil
#

Empos fat is the best thing sm ou has to offer

naive stump
#

Ig lol

rugged fossil
#

Good mu vs stall , weather , tr

#

Decent vs balanced and ho

tribal smelt
#

I thought ABR farmed that team in tourneys lately?

rugged fossil
#

has the mega maw and manaphy weakness but both of em are dealable

naive stump
#

Lot of people

tribal smelt
#

Or am I thinking of else

naive stump
#

Empo fat is such a stable in sm ou

rugged fossil
#

Not for people in smog cord

#

Actually

#

It’s for

#

People in smog cord

#

But

#

Not hosted my smogon

naive stump
#

Yh

rugged fossil
#

My only bet is to

#

Run this team the whole tourn

naive stump
#

Try do play something else kek

rugged fossil
#

Last time I played sm ou before 1 month baxk was at zygarde ban

naive stump
#

Its not exactly the hardest shit to fish unfort

rugged fossil
#

I’m only practicing sm ou cuz of a shit fan game

naive stump
#

Ah

#

Fair enough

tribal smelt
#

On that topic couldnt that SwSh pex LS set see some use in SM

naive stump
#

Hum

#

It was an idea in general with my peeps

#

Like, treeman made some hellish tias reflect balance

#

And, in general, using screens to improve pivoting

#

Is def something valuable imo

tribal smelt
#

Shed Shell for Tran obv

rugged fossil
#

I’ve seen profteez using

#

Shed shell pex

naive stump
#

I know lol

rugged fossil
#

Think it was with the mega toss

#

Tias

naive stump
#

I have all his shit

rugged fossil
#

Team

rugged fossil
#

Sm ou has to offer

naive stump
#

Nah

#

I'm just his friend

#

And also main actor for like half of his shit

#

I wish I could have more contact ngl

rugged fossil
#

Teach me sm ou fr

tribal smelt
#

Has 90% of the teams SM has to offer (none of which have Hoopa U)

rugged fossil
#

I’m only a ladder warrior lol

naive stump
#

Like a lot of us lmao

rugged fossil
#

Lmao

tribal smelt
#

Ladder heroes are still valuable imo

naive stump
#

Hoopa is just boring ngl

tribal smelt
#

Helps to actually test tier progression

naive stump
#

Yh

rugged fossil
tribal smelt
#

If you see a new set spammed in high ladder it probably means its good

rugged fossil
#

The only core that comes in my mind whenever I’m team building is

#

Lando T + fini + magearna

naive stump
#

Issue is that

#

High ladder

#

Is german being bad kek

#

Yh

#

Hoopa can be decent

#

But boring

#

I dislike building on that

#

Nothing funny

late fog
#

or fini + kb

rugged fossil
naive stump
#

Man

rugged fossil
naive stump
#

This variant of xtrashine

#

Suck so much

rugged fossil
#

This is the one where he gets 6-0

naive stump
#

I mean

#

I have replay

rugged fossil
naive stump
#

Where german lose to xatu

#

Yh

rugged fossil
#

Team ?

#

With xatu

#

Ik that team

naive stump
#

Nah

#

It was some bulu screens shit

#

But the replay is old

rugged fossil
#

That’s my usage

rugged fossil
naive stump
#

Fair enough

#

I respect stall main

#

But even treeman accept to play other style

rugged fossil
#

That’s why I come to u 😝

naive stump
#

Kek

#

Nw

rugged fossil
#

As I said

naive stump
#

I also use only shit stuff in other tours

rugged fossil
#

My defensice cores in balanced team

#

Are usually only limited to

#

Magearna + lando T + fini

naive stump
#

Its not hard to go for other shit

rugged fossil
#

Actually I use

#

Skarm + clef + gastro

#

Aswell

#

But yeah

naive stump
#
rugged fossil
naive stump
#

Its a cool core

#

I host the teambuilding competition atm

rugged fossil
rugged fossil
naive stump
#

Clef skarm gastro

#

I like clef atm

rugged fossil
#

Ye

#

I usually use toad for

#

Gastro

#

If it’s a wish pass

#

Clef

naive stump
#

Toad is heat

rugged fossil
#

True that

naive stump
#

Is that people build stuff on the theme I pick for a week

#

And post it

#

And we vote for the best one

#

So, you can use that competition to build yourself new stuff

naive stump
#

I dont mind to help you a bit as well

#

Yh

#

Lot of ladder boya

rugged fossil
#

Cm reuni spectates almost every game

naive stump
#

Yh

rugged fossil
#

Never really fought him tho

naive stump
#

I try to reunite every ladder boya into one community

rugged fossil
naive stump
#

Check the sm discord

rugged fossil
#

I ain’t verified in that server

naive stump
#

Stupid bot

#

Oh

#

No smogon account?

rugged fossil
#

It got banned I think

naive stump
#

Kek

rugged fossil

Lemme make a new one

naive stump

Yh

#

Try to join the server

#

And participate in those event

rugged fossil
#

Alright made one

rugged fossil
naive stump
#

Yh

#

Just wait a bit

#

For a new round

rugged fossil
#

alright

naive stump
#

I try to pick only funny theme for this compet

rugged fossil
naive stump

Its the title of the thread kek

rugged fossil

Oh mega at below b

rugged fossil

Idk what camerupt is doing above crawdunt here

naive stump

naive stump

C+

rugged fossil
#

Oo ok

rugged fossil
hazy grotto
#

im not too good with diancie but I’ll try it anyways

#

Zone - very good Pokémon here as I think it takes care of problems that this team struggles with (scizor,steela,ferro and also taking care of bulky water types)
Reu - mainly is here for medicham because medicham fucks up this team and deals with other fighting types and psychic types
Diancie - star of the show nothing else
Bulu - deals with greninja which this team struggles against too and also sort of acting like a physical breaker
Hippo - deals with charizard X and zard Y also a problem to this team and my rock setter
Skarm - Defog can deal with Weavile which this team struggles to switch into

#

I’ve won a couple of games so far but looking for any improvements

leaden fiber
#

i dont think id skarm

#

im not sold on skarm at all

hazy grotto
#

I had Gliscor originally but idk

leaden fiber
#

yeah vile isvery hard to switch

worthy pulsar
karmic geyserBOT
#

New OU RMT @azure torrent, @obtuse prairie, @naive stump. I won't notify you again for at least 6 hours.

naive stump
#

eh

#

I'm back

naive stump
#

apart zone + diancie

#

feel like the rest is just niche pokemon put together for some reasons

#

also, team is really weak to any form of psy-spam

#

lele click moonblast here

#

and the team really dont have the tools to constantly not lose to zam

#

also, this set of skarmory is simply awful

#

Iron Defense is something such as fuck tbh

#

like, I can imagine this tech to check SD mawile ig lol

#

but, outside of that, skarmory is just waste of what this pokemon can actually do in this tier

#

aka putting spikes and phazzing

#

if you want that badly a skarm that can do stuff outside of those two assets, SD skarmory with z-brave bird can be cool on the right squad

#

which is not the case here obviously

#

not sure how to help here as I'm not entirely sure with the main concept

#

hippo + reu + zone really looks like some semi-stall stuff

#

but the diancie clearly gives this feeling of something a bit more proactive

#

which is why its a bit difficult to help here

#

If you want to keep a diancie + zone but with some solid backbone, might try some stuff with celesteela + toxapex instead

#

alongside a bulu and some ground such as gliscor SD for example

#

feels like you cover more stuff and Diancie-Mega + Magnezone + SD Gliscor actually form a decent offensive core

#

can also makes gliscor a defogger if hazards is too annoying for your taste

naive stump
#

this is some nice well-known structure

#

tran bulu rotom maw BO

#

and grass-spam is not a bad idea at all here

#

but I think we can makes some small improvment here

#

first of all, I do think bulu should be more defensive

#

with mawile + SD kartana, you already got something very solid to offensively pressure

tropic schooner
naive stump
#

but, here, I fear a lot gren just clicking water shuriken in the endgame

#

and, overall, water pressuring the relatively frail core of bulu + rotom

#

with bulu spedef, you can also run instead rotom bold

#

and improve your MU against the like of swampert-mega and hawlucha

#

Kartana set is fine here

#

can run z-fight or z-grass here

#

Iron Head mawile is really a bad option in general*

#

I get hitting venusaur is nice here, but venusaur is a really niche pokemon atm

#

so, not something to lose a slot for it

#

instead, I prefer much more a 4A mawile here

#

with fire fang to lure scizor-mega because the steel bug is very annoying here overall

tropic schooner
#

you mean ffang right?

#

idt it gets fpunch

naive stump
#

yh lol

#

thx

#

apart that, I like the team

#

good job

tropic schooner
#

indeed!!!

#

i remembered you gave me a set of it

#

so was like

#

yea sure

naive stump
#

I have no fucking idea how to build on that ngl

tropic schooner
#

the main idea is

#

get damage on ferro with aboma

naive stump
#

but obama ice-spam was something I tried with zaza

tropic schooner
#

and win with hone claws kyub

naive stump
#

let me check if I have that shit

tropic schooner
#

nm lele weakens heatran without having to hit focus

naive stump
tropic schooner
#

and fini tran lando is just good stuffs core

naive stump
#

what the hell is this lmao

tropic schooner
#

the hell did yall do

#

jeez

naive stump
#

yh lol

tropic schooner
#

av iron tail torn my fav mdia cope

naive stump
#

kek

#

diancie was an issue here

#
  • hit ttar!!!
#

on that note, you also got an annoying diancie MU

tropic schooner
#

i mean i get it hp ice mdia just wins but like

#

this is too far.

naive stump
#

and medicham in a sense

#

but not sure how you're suppose to resolve those kind of MU tbh

#

yh

#

yacha lando was on my mind tbf

#

trade for some damage on medi

#

and hail + prio should be fine for endgame

tropic schooner
#

hmm

naive stump
#

hum

#

now, how to not lose to kartana

#

oh well

#

its obama

#

should be fine kek

tropic schooner
#

probably yea

naive stump
#

I was trying to fit some

#

rindo berry flame water on fini slot

tropic schooner
#

i mean the most i can do is make this structure lose to hawlucha but kinda be fine against kart by adding kommo somewhere

naive stump
#

and gren exist in this world unfort

#

yh lol

tropic schooner
#

thats the most i can think of

naive stump
#

I think you could make an argument for some aguav berry bold fini

#

rain is the worst shit every actually as you got some solid offensive pressure on it overall

#

and aguav berry basically give you more life overall

#

as, let's be honest, your team can't hold himself for more than 30 turns

tropic schooner
#

i think rain matchup is really good if i do

#

blizz wood hammer aboma

#

blizz hammer eq hp fire

naive stump
#

yh

#

its all about how much you can pressure with KB and abo

tropic schooner
naive stump
#

on steel

tropic schooner
#

how much does that spread do to cm mage act

#

i need to check

naive stump
#

I dont understand

tropic schooner
#

i wanted to check if eq actually 2hkoed cm split mage

oh

#

sadge

tropic schooner
#

i mean thats decent ig

#

copeable

naive stump
#

also would be cool to run speed on abo kek

#

124 speed

#

outspeed scizor and slow maw

worthy pulsar
tropic schooner
#

i need bulk to live rando shit

#

especially mage fleur

naive stump

I think bulky SD z-rock + some kart band could work also

#

hail broken!!!

worthy pulsar
naive stump
#

np

tropic schooner
#

We take those

naive stump
#

yh

#

so yh

tropic schooner
#

I think thatll be good enough for an aboma team

naive stump
#

hum

#

lele scarf or kart scarf

#

the real question

#

man

#

abo + bulu

#

grass-spam

tropic schooner
#

Scarf bulu sucks so much

naive stump
#

nah

#

abo + bulu + kart

#

ultimate grass-spam!!

#

anw

#

should be fine I reckon

tropic schooner
#

I guess

naive stump
#

prob some optimization to do here

tropic schooner
#

Thats one shit mega off the checklist!!?

#

Ill look into it more tomorrow

naive stump
#

yh

tropic schooner
#

I actually wanna build non shit megas before i get into like mega lix

naive stump
#

at this point, its much more offensive than what expected

tropic schooner
#

I should build mbro and megallade and mhera

naive stump
#

but hail has this one cool effect

#

of chiping everything

#

so, on paper, steel should melt quickly

tropic schooner
#

Yea it actually puts a lotta stuff into freeze shock range

#

Funnily

#

And bolt strike

naive stump
#

yh

#

then your scarfer should be able to clean I hope lol

#

could ev your KB to take one HJK from lucha as usual

#

yh, its prob a good enough set of KB here

#

can't settle my mind on something definitive here tbf

#

but the structure is here (?) I believe

#

I really dont have enough experience with obama unfort

tropic schooner
#

The structure is here but hm

#

Bulky kyub does sound nice

naive stump
#

build camel instead pls

tropic schooner
#

I am gonna build camel with zerkas later

#

But as i said

#

I wanna prioritize building non shit megas i didnt build

naive stump
#

dont need to go too much either

#

outspeed lando seems really too useful

#

SD lando is genuinely scary without that

naive stump
tropic schooner
#

Weav camel

#

Good ol

naive stump
#

ic

#

still a very delicate mega to handle

#

can't say at all I manage to understand that fucker lol

tropic schooner
#

The truth is rock slide mcamel to beat volcarona

naive stump
#

yh

#

using camel that way

#

actually patch a lot of issue

#

for any team

#

I just wish rotom was not real

#

that way, camel would abuse every viable electric of the tier

tropic schooner
#

I wish grass types actually checked washer

#

Wisp is a pain

naive stump
#

yh

tropic schooner
#

Oh hey ig tang and amoon maybe

naive stump
#

this is why I slot gastro on my version

#

and put some band sharp

#

to punish rotom with spikes + defiant + pursuit

#

I think one good structure with vile camel

#

could be something with like slowbro eject button

#

camel + bulu + tran + slowbro ebutton + vile + scarfer my ass

tropic schooner
#

Oh ye camel defo wants bulu

#

And then last is like

#

Kart lele lando

naive stump
#

yh

#

double ground is fine I think

#

I still dont like it

#

but lando scarf makes lot of sense

tropic schooner
#

Its fine but it kinda sucky wucky into weavile spamming ice shard late game

naive stump
#

yh

#

vile is annoying here

#

well, can slot tech tran

tropic schooner
#

I guess the tran can be a mage too no?

naive stump
#

and play around with bulu tran

#

yh, very true

tropic schooner
#

Because sub lati is also very annoying

naive stump
#

camel can slot rocks

tropic schooner
#

So just swap split mage there

#

And sub stored is no issue

naive stump
#

yh, fair

#

sounds like a decent six

#

lando scarf being the sole defogger is annoying

#

but you basically punish spiker with camel

#

and instead put your own rocks

#

forcing defog in a sense lol

tropic schooner
#

If ebutton thingy wasnt needed i wanted washer here

naive stump
#

meh

#

oh yh

#

nah

#

issue

#

is that you rely on lando do check medi and lop

tropic schooner
#

Oh ye true

naive stump
#

and then kart endgame fucks you so badly

tropic schooner
#

Mlop becomes annoying

naive stump
#

which is already more or less the fact ngl kek

#

without tran

tropic schooner
#

Cant scarfer be a

#

Flier

naive stump
#

hum

#

atm, its zard-x that make me cry

tropic schooner
#

Like idk something shit like

#

Scarf torn

naive stump
#

hum

#

let's say

#

stone edge bulu

#

twave mag

#

oh wait

#

slowbro

tropic schooner
#

Ye

#

Bro

#

Just twave bro

#

Works i thinks

naive stump
#

yh

#

praise bro

#

yh

#

then

#

ebutton was a cool idea

#

but u know what's cooler

#

rindo berry

tropic schooner
#

Do we still go scarf torn last or nah

naive stump
#

nah

tropic schooner
#

Act do we need a scarfer

#

Just av torn last

naive stump
#

then lando scarf should be alright

#

oh

#

lowering speed control ic

#

yh, maybe

tropic schooner
#

Weav should be enough

naive stump
#

not AV then

tropic schooner
#

Hepm

naive stump
#

actually having a real defogger lol

tropic schooner
#

Whatev

naive stump
#

yh

tropic schooner
#

U get the idea

naive stump
#

yh

#

zam is not too sus with mag + vile

#

and bro

#

rain is

#

hum

#

alright kek

#

might do something like punishment for manaphy tho

#

you have bro for lucha after all

worthy pulsar
tropic schooner
#

Torn bulu bro should be fine

naive stump
#

maybe

#

need to test

#

but should be fine

#

vile will def do all the job kek

#

anw, I think it's a fine structure for camel vile shit

tropic schooner
#

Grass knot torn

#

How heavy is mana

#

Grass knot seems cool for gastro and mana

naive stump
#

oh

#

wait this is genius

#

#

Exactly

We have no z users

#

this is really nice

#

you can have bulk on torn then

tropic schooner
#

Do you even need max speed

naive stump
tropic schooner
#

I dont think you need max speed

naive stump
#

hum

#

taunt torn here or not?

#

main speed tier of my torn are

#

358 for serp

tropic schooner
#

Nah i was just gonna do u turn defog

naive stump
#

361 for zone

#

362 for azelf lead kek

#

yh, then can go either serp/zone

tropic schooner
#

Is serp 358 or do you get to 358

naive stump
#

nah, serp is 357

tropic schooner
#

Okay then can you calc

#

ok, this is cool

#

flame would be funny in that case

#

but ibeam for ground is prob needed

tropic schooner
#

I think twave for charx is more valuable

naive stump
#

yh, def

tropic schooner
#

And ice beam for lando ohko

naive stump
#

its more for garchomp tbh

#

looks fine for the rest

#

maybe protect instead of synthesis for rain MU

#

and waste weather

tropic schooner
#

Oh ye rindo bro also works against chary trying to solar beam

#

Thats really neat

naive stump
#

yh lol

#

keep the squad

#

next week for tbc

tropic schooner
#

I will

naive stump
#

theme would either bro or eject button

tropic schooner
#

Oh ye you were talking about doing bro theme

naive stump
#

can you give me an example

#

I just dont see it fitting on the team tbf

#

yeah fair, i personally think aside from helping out your slow ttar and it setting up trick room for itself i don't know how i feel about it since the rest of your team has speed.

#

like for example if you replace bronzong with LO agility gross it accomplishes the same thing aside from providing ground immunity

#

if you go with metagross it might be ideal to make other changes

#

what do you have emp for mainly?

#

so swampert i think should go because azelf is already your rocker, rotom and latias or not bad choices

#

uh, you could but I like Heatrans potential for this team

attempt at HO

orchid tiger
#

This does not look like ho at all it’s just closer to some weird bo/balance with a random milo

#

Ho is much aggressive play style with little back bone and wanting to overwhelm a bunch of stuff

balmy willow
#

👍

balmy willow
#

kinda gimmicky ik but i felt like it would be good to have around

orchid tiger
#

You want anti defog you got much better options like gapdos and bish

balmy willow
#

hm i guess thats true

#

ill swap it out for bisharp ig

orchid tiger
#

Even then if you are trying for ho it needs a massive rework

leaden fiber
#

Yeah ur sets are not good and the weird offensive pex isnt going to do anything

#

the only HO mon on this entire team is the pult

naive stump
hasty ingot
#

blace can be a good ho mon, but usually with scarf

#

that pult set is not great, dd pult iirc usually runs life orb + dd/phantom/darts/fire blast

#

on HO

#

rest of the mons gotta go lmao

#

lando can work as a dedicated lead, but mew usually is the better choice

naive stump
#

Atm, you're very weak to lele specs that click moonblast, and even alakazam is not even funny here. I would also say that your extremely weak to Volcarona, one QD and the team simply lose.

#

Moreover, lack of rocks is very suspect in any squad

#

And the set of gliscor is completly useless: right now, gliscor is no able to check obvious threats such as Heatran

#

Oh, and, finally, gren click dark pulse and kill everything

rugged fossil
#

Hello kaiser

naive stump
#

Explain me later what was the purpose of the team, in that case, I can help you to improve the squad

#

Yo

rugged fossil
#

Does German have discord

#

They still didn’t verify me in sm discord 😭

naive stump
#

Just wait

#

You can ping later clementine tomorrow if you're still not verify

rugged fossil
#

Alright

#

My first match today is vs a random

#

Shit player I think

hazy grotto
#

I was thinking of making koko z

#

And rotom leftovers

#

this is the first team I made

naive stump
hazy grotto
#

@naive stump

naive stump
#

I think z-water rotom is important here because ground such as gliscor looks like quite annoying overall here

#

Might put more speed on it tho

#

Like, at least, outspeed heatran modest

#

Another tech I like here is Nature Madness on Tapu Koko

#

You Snipe for a nice half of their life ground, ferro and mag trying to take dazzling gleam

#

Another idea I have is to make the Zard-x 3A + DD

#

Eq dclaw fblitz DD

#

Then put instead of knock off, Healing wish on clefable

#

That way you can break with zard-x very earlier and have a second shot with healing wish

#

Also, not sure what is the purpose of the spread on clef

#

But I think you can lower the spdef invest on it

#

Maybe enough to take hpump from gren

rugged fossil
#

@naive stump do u think this would do in today match

naive stump
#

Without Manaphy, rain will really have a shitty time against stall and fat

rugged fossil
#

Hmm

naive stump
#

Zapdos is fine but much more bulky

rugged fossil
naive stump
#

Like I said

#

Bold is prob better here

#

Or just tornadus

rugged fossil
#

Tornadus for zap

#

And then manaphy for
