Neat concept, you’re a little weak to Keldeo though. I’d say you probably don’t need to be running Gholdengo here and could go for another ghost type, since Gholdengo is primarily used to deny hazard removal, but your only hazards are stealth rocks which doesn’t require harsh control throughout the match since the chip won’t be too much comparatively to spikes + SR. You probably want to make the Rotom physically defensive instead to help with your Ceruledge matchup as well, since physically defensive helps it a bit more. I’d also make it a slower IV since your speed doesn’t matter as much unless you’re in the mirror.

#

Whether you're new to a format or competitive Pokémon as a whole, sample teams provide a quick way to pick up a team and play. Sample teams are contributed by community members and have a proven track record of success on ladder or in tours. You can find sample teams for any given format using the /tier command.

If a user has recommended you use a sample team this is not meant as a slight. Creating a successful team can be incredibly difficult without metagame knowledge and experience playing; sample teams reduce the barrier to entry by letting you jump in and start gaining that knowledge.

# karmic cradle That bad?

were it in a lower tier with a couple mons swapped out, I could see it being a decent sun team, you have a decent core idea that with some tweaking would probably work well. It's just this is AG, and so you get absolutely curbstomped by the power level of the tier.

meager quest

Skarmory should have one attack, either Brave Bird or WBB. I would replace one of the hazards with that

#

if you want both, you can move Rocks to Heatran

#

I would go with PSea Zapdos instead of No Guard, the Fire immunity is useful here and it still spreads para pretty well

#

if you really want to keep No Guard, slot Heat Wave over U-turn so you can nail VA Steels

#

if we're being strict, Metagross is probably not optimal and I would recommend replacing it with something like Zama or Moon. But if you want to keep it, it's probably still funny

Hey @raw owl, it looks like you're trying to share a gen9anythinggoes team, but I didn't find any raters for that format in this channel. Try posting in #1208795569649356820 instead.

OM Mashups do indeed go in this thread, rather than UM rates, that said, you may have better luck getting feedback in the OMM server as that sort of metas tend to be rather niche

Hey @dark lake, there are presently no raters signed up to rate teams for gen9championsou. A rater in this channel may still step in and provide advice, but you can check out the resources for this format.

That command has been removed as there's proper support on BSS and VGC Champions, although Champions OU is still a quite volatile metagame and is yet to stabilize as to have proper raters

perhaps can make cres the helmet rough set?

#

unsure what other mons can work to prevent obli from nuking or denying progresss but that’s why shox is phy def

#

and the 32 att on the bird lets it 2 hit aoa zama and tusk with beak and the speed lets it hit 177(base 70 is 176 neutrally

oh right yeah sucker on bird should’ve been rocks 😭 😭 i had mollux over shox for a few games and got totally fucked by obli

lavish ridge
# stray sleet https://pokepast.es/d52509f316dc08b3 prolly too early for this but yeah shox is...

I mean bird is out at some point today so never too early but as for a rate, the team itself looks fairly solid on paper.

I do think Rocks on Obli would be nice and in that case I would actually go with Analytic since set up isn't as big of an issue for the team when it is so fat (and you have Multiscale Cresc)

Also Shox doesn't need max Def to take on Obli as it is "immune" to Knock Off and resists Beak Blast so you could probably go for a more mixed defensive spread to cover the special threats that Shox usually handles

#

Another suggestion is to run Boots on Zama and Stone Edge > Ice Fang. Obli is gonna be everywhere with new toy syndrome and Gliscor kinda struggles with Shox + Snael (or at least forces Tera which is beneficial sometimes)

#

Lastly, I think you could test Protect > Pain Split on Equi just for scouting purposes and free Lefties recovery because Equilibra has quite a good HP stat so Split can bite ya sometimes

stray sleet
#

catheart so just a few questions in general:

  1. is there any special attack specifically to calc evs for on shox?(likewhich mon)
    2)how do u normally chose between tect or pain on equil cuzi afterall both r just for more longevity
  2. would facade tera normal/fairy snael work here with facade? cuz i cant do much vs mollux

# stray sleet <:catheart:1208362051718877194> so just a few questions in general: 1) is there ...
  1. not usually. Just moreso Shox has better special bulk and it can do mixed bulk better generally (but you can keep phys def if necessary)
  2. It really is player and team dependent. I personally like Protect because of having the ability scout and guarantee getting that extra Lefties recovery
  3. That is a possibility just to have a better MU into Mollux because it can't really do much back to Snael with the investment you have

#

i’d say the main problem with your team are the sets, besides that it can work sorta okay though i’d recommend a steel type

#

Zard X set is fine and works, I’d recommend you don’t double up on Dragon-types with Cyclizar and instead make it an Excadrill also carrying Rapid Spin. As for Darkrai I think a Choice Specs set works better here and for Floette the moveset is kind of all over the place, I recommend Calm Mind + Moonblast + Draining Kiss + Light of Ruin though you can swap either one of the last two moves for Synthesis or borh with Wish Protect. For Blaziken you should make the moves to Close Combat and Flare Blitz for more power.

#

the team will perform better but it is still a HO without much direcfion and is setup reliant besides darkrai which you don’t really want

#

i can pass u some teams if you want bc i forget if there is samples or not

Looking for a second opinion of a team that I may enter fro the upcoming BW cup. For reference, I'm casual, normally plays 'anything goes', and knowledge is very limited past gen5 (aside from knowing fairy type mechanics).
