#SV OU Rates
1 messages · Page 7 of 1
regardless this is a stall core with hamurott and cinderace for some reason so I'd say get rid of those two lol
How much is sticky barb? 1/12? 1/8?
1/8
https://pokepast.es/a7a1d88f9a1e4946 So is this an 8/10?
https://pokepast.es/da9eff600d22fc9d
Would be the first time ever I try out Gen 9 OU (I started and stayed with NatDex Ubers). How does it look? (Goal is Bulky offense with Darkrai functioning as a fast special wallbreaker for the team,Molt to punish potential U-Turns and will-O-Wisp for stuff like Kingambit. Zama as late game sweeper,Tusk as hazard clearer and potential midgame setup. And Ogerpon is just whenever she's needed)
looks pretty good but id say ask someone whos better than me
Hmm. Oh,I'd also wanna ask what I should shore up. Mainly tera
Poison would be interesting on Darkrai,since Fighting/Fairy resistance,and he's naturally good against Psychic in the first place
Actually,now that I think about it...that also covers his bug weakness
poison is the standard yeah
https://pokepast.es/4c1feee1f101fe2c
Is this a good team? If you have any thoughts about it while rating it please let me know
New [Gen 9] OU RMT @north nimbus, @unkempt bough, @empty verge, @echo rampart. I won't notify you again for at least 6 hours.
nocturne i haver a question
nvm nvm
was gonna ask if i rreplace raging bolt for roaring moon
https://pokepast.es/6e989e0f16fcf4d2 i need help buildiing my team, i lose every game with this, the oponent always has the right matchup. etc etc
This piece crap of a team got me to 1200 somehow
https://pokepast.es/8346e119a80ff685
What play style do you like the most
stall, defensive, balance, bulky offence, hyper offence...
someone can help me to make an team please
I ask the same thing as I did to Panch
What play style do you like
balanced or hyper offence
can i dm u? bcz many chat i want sent pics of my team
For hyper offence you could use the likes of Meowscarada, Cinderace, Darkrai, Dragapult etc
Use pokepast.es
And paste your team there
oh oki wait
And if you're REALLY good you could try the challenge of using Scizor on OU
I mean on a Fairy dominated meta game maybe Scizor would be a good anti meta pick
DPPs premiere gunslinger is your best pick in case the rocks somehow dominate
i play Flutter Mane with boosterenergy / goldengo i want his in my team and chien-pao
but idk with but i can do all team if u want complete this team please
Sir this is the OU rates
(im not sir) and wre i can someone help me ?
#1059901370477576272 is what you're looking for
oh :c oki sorry
unviable unfortunately
Give the viability rankings and samples a look so you know what mons function in the ou tier
don't let that stop you from having fun tho
New [Gen 9] OU RMT @north nimbus, @unkempt bough, @empty verge, @echo rampart. I won't notify you again for at least 6 hours.
I tried to create a balance team
but I kinda get bulldozed over by CM Primirina
and the Dhengo hazard stack match up can get a little spooky
https://pokepast.es/fcd21019ed59baf0
update: https://pokepast.es/48d7de3147974bc3 better pivots but pecharunt is still a bit meh
was trying to build a team around first impression slither wing, ended up with a pivot+status team
why are 50% of the teams here posted by 1% of the discord
a slither wing team that ive made which did really well for him focused around using webs tbh
can share?
thanks, lemme try
any bad matchups i should be careful of?
and by well i mean teams that get me to 1500-1600 consistently after making a new account to test team out ^
id say be wary of stalls and some trick room teams tbh
okie, i like playing singles but stall really grinds on my gears tbh
yea normally they arent too bad to play depending on the team you have but usually if my first 5-10 turns are bad against stalls
i just forfeit out tbh
Ngl idk why meowscarada is on that team
But even so the stall matchup can be helped by just running some of the various anti stall techs in the tier
please dont provide teams/give advice if you are not experienced with the tier
we appreciate you trying to help out, but this team is flawed in many ways
i made it a while back, it can be gambit, but i used meow as knock off
most of the discord is either experienced enough to not want advice, not active in the first place, or play other tiers
Yeahhh
this is my current top performing team https://pokepast.es/52ada92076f2c0f5
It's not exerting enough firepower for a webs team
is it flawed in many ways too?
BO I assume?
It's not bad
Scizor is kinda odd but everything else is pretty standard
yea leaning towards offense tbh
I'd make Lando the rocker and tusk more offensive tbh but that's just me
actually i built the team around scarf lando lol
really like the guy
- the speed controller for the team
I don't fw scarf Lando this gen but that's mostly personal preference
as for scizor is the knock off for the team + he has been really good against some of the tiers meta picks
in this team was either scizor or roaring moon as knock off id say
but roaring doesnt fit too well in this comp
Pecharunt on a team that already has two pivots + no fighting weak pokemon isn’t the best pick
Not really sure why you need a knock off user for this team when you aren’t stacking hazards excepts rocks
Wogerpon mu is really bad
pecha counters ogerpon tho
you dont like parting shot + intimidate 😮
+2 252 Atk Wellspring Mask Tera Water Ogerpon-Wellspring-Tera Ivy Cudgel vs. 252 HP / 4 Def Pecharunt: 328-386 (86.3 - 101.5%) -- 12.5% chance to OHKO
Your woger mu is one unlucky crit/any amount of chip away from falling over
could be but then we check with thunder clap / or scarf u-turn no?
Also if you go for the recover you risk losing to encore
Pecha is most definitely not a woger counter
A shaky check, maybe, but it’s only a few teammates away from crushing Pecha
Especially since your method of handling all physical threats seems to be Pecha + Lando
when i built the team with scarf lando, the two mons i found to be great partners were prima and pecha lol
Good for you ig, doesn’t change the fact that this team has flaws
O yeah your Darkrai mu is atrocious as well
Knock less tusk is iffy and opens you up to struggling to spin against opposing hstack teams with their ghost/helmet users
And when the rest of your team is live or die by those hazards getting removed it can become an issue quick
primarina, bulletpunch, and uturn lando
i do agree with the knock off
Scizor really doesn’t do a lot for this team here
so youre saying -scizor, -pecha +gholdengo
Since you’re lo bp you get worn down real fast and can probably only switch into Kyurem 2-3 times before you take too much chip
Definitely take out Scizor, I don’t know what to do with your squad of Lando tusk Pecha Primarina tho
Actually I think Scizor can work as a band breaker instead
Yeah banded solves a few issues here, probably swap out Lando for something like Zamazenta/Pult and you’re looking a lot better
all out attacker boots zama yea?
Idbp isn’t bad either
Gives you an alternative win con that can capitalize off of Scizor weakening phys def checks
alright ill give it a try, and probably roar as 4th move right
Yeah but it’s pretty flexible so feel free to mess around with it
alright done, the team is all grounded now tho
If you lose to bu tusk with Pecha + Primarina + Zamazenta roar that’s on you ngl
been a while since i seen bu tusk
It’s still kicking
Hstack teams kinda meh rn and hamurott doesn’t have the best mu into Zama
yea i sadly noticed that
pinkacross told me its BO, Offense, HO the top 3 atm
Eh ho kinda fishy
Depends on the spread but this one isn't yeah
Max physical bulk pecha can pretty reliably check Ogerpon
Slow pivot set basically
No matter what spread you will never be a woger counter
A check, sure
But not a counter
And especially for woger, you need more than one check
Unless ig Tera grass pecha
I agree with that but my point was pecha can be a reasonably effective waterpon check with enough defensive investment
Since malignant chain is not something pon wants to take
And I said counter
So why are you arguing
im gonna go insane
whoever uses sucker punch darkrai is insane
https://pokepast.es/415fe7b66828445c also rmt from 1/10
New [Gen 9] OU RMT @north nimbus, @unkempt bough, @empty verge, @echo rampart. I won't notify you again for at least 6 hours.
I’m guessing it’s the reun darkspam team
yea
when did it come tho
i just faced it and lost bc i was surprised bc of sucker punch
https://pokepast.es/df7b6adaa01ed8f0 changed team a bit
i used an extension called teambuilding analytics
yall like it?
replace subsitute on moth with psychic
and dazzling gleam to make it rain
tera fairy to steel
tera grass iron moth catches a lot of the low ladder of guard
"finally i've switched in my [ground type] time to click earthquake and stop this madness"
Iron Moth Terastalized!
Garchomp used Earthquake!
It's not very effective...
good for the most part but you're severely lacking in physical attackers and have way too many special attackers, swap tusk to bulk up, swap ghold to bulky kingambit, and drop vaccum wave on valiant for encore
Wont i need ghold to keep my 3 spikes?
iron moth clicked dazzling gleam
its super effectove
the opposing garchomp fainted
You’re running HO so you can keep your offensive pressure up with spikes if you can position yourself correct to prevent your opponent to spin/defog
New [Gen 9] OU RMT @north nimbus, @unkempt bough, @empty verge, @echo rampart. I won't notify you again for at least 6 hours.
but i cant rlly stop rapid spin
so wont hamurott be useless if those hazards are gonna get court changed by boots max speed cinder?
There’s 4 mons with tera ghost
i forgot abt that
https://pokepast.es/8c97a16e727af2a9 so no changes to my team?
keep it like this and try to hiy 1.5k
defog?
this team is not live or die by hazards
boots and tusk and corv and cinder are popular
aand cinder would give me a huge disadvantage
we know what the metagame looks like
cinderace would give you a huge advantage because you have moth and bolt to exploit it
hazards is not the end all be all for this team
ik
they are nice, but you are fine without them
so i can remove them
so stop worrying abot hazards with 4 tera ghost mons
i mean like replace hamurott with maybe dnite to beat tusk
take them or leave them
hold on faya
@timid mango please stop posting the same team with minor changes
@timid mango You have been posting the same 2-3 teams the past few days. When people post here we expect them to put some work into creating a team, playtesting it initially, integrate feedback, and then taking the time to playtest it again with changes. You come back here frequently asking for advice, sometimes don't implement it, then come back the next day with the same thing even though you ignored previous advice.
Also please read the rules. We do not rate existing sample teams. #comp-general message Smashing two sample teams together and posting it here isn't allowed. You are taking up our raters time which could instead be used to rate teams for people who are going to take our raters advice into consideration and playtest what they've made.
If you post a team in the future we ask that you try to take the time to learn, put some thought into it instead of modifying a sample, play test what you've made, and really take the advice our raters provide into consideration instead of brushing them off
Replace roaring moon with great tusk/raging bolt and you got a standard bulky offense
Also change valiant to its standard cm set
no
i want to use rm
i went psyshock ival for a better glowking and moth mu
aura sphere for the gambit
and i wanna use rm
id considered bolt but rm is really fun
Roaring moon is mostly a hyper offense mon
It’s best used as a sweeper to set up and overwhelm
everyday theres a prav33n video using roaring moon on literally BO
like everyday
im not even kidding
top 100/50 player
so its usable?
I dont totally like the gking there tbh, feel like dengo would be better
Better mu vs zama and valiant, helps to keep rocks up and fairy resist too
It can spam twave too
I also dont like non sball valiant, not being able to hit dengo looks awful even if u have rmoon and gambit on the team
Psyshock is a cool thing tho
For moth/gking as u said and even for some clod
For glimm too
Is hazard less hyper offence any good
I got a team but I'm afraid I'm just gonna get roasted here
i mean.. gking does 3/4 out of those things
also has twave
also provides pivot
i think a team like this appreciates pivots
just what i think though
Ye pivots are always good, but i was especially thinking since clicking crunch or knock on the switch is quite free many times
So u dont let lando get chipped that easily
But the thing is just testing it ig, if it works that way is fine
Another i had not in mind was the tspikes mu, without gking it could be a bit tough so maybe gking better in some scenarios
And w spamming twave easily i meant on things gking cant do it that easily such as oger or gambit
yeah...
I mean screens ho exists
But 6 offensive threats no setter kinda mid
so i could go for dual screens with a prankster mon?
what if i get court changed tho
court change the court change?
and hope that i lose the speed tie
At this point it’s basically a hyper offense team + the majority of your mons literally cannot switch in more than once without being severely crippled
Bring mons that can threaten cinderace
so fast super effective hitters?
Prankster kinda ass either use Deoxys speed or atales
This isn’t a team building channel tho if you want help with that go to #comp-general
well wogerpon is slower than ace so any ideas?
Yeah this team is literally just hyper offense with Gking instead of another sweeper and a pivot lando set instead of a lead one
Also why Tera blast fairy Rmoon? Most dragons are chunked heavily by knock/acro and don’t want to switch in the first place, same with dark types (except ting lu but even then not a lot of people are using ting lu to counter moon), and zamazenta is damaged more by acro than Tera blast fairy anyways
wait wait wait Ninetales-Alola in OU?
Not the channel for this
New [Gen 9] OU RMT @north nimbus, @unkempt bough, @empty verge, @echo rampart. I won't notify you again for at least 6 hours.
waow its the zovafire
anyway this looks pretty aight, I tend to prefer more offensive spreads/items on stuff like lando and kyurem but its fine
thats more to do with my playstyle then anything else
nah not rly its still good
just my personal preference leans to more offensive sets
I usually try to slot spikes onto these teams to rack up more hazard chip, usually through a mon like hamurott
that could be an idea
Not strictly necessary tho
You could also wait for an actual rater tho
i see. what do i change in my team though
https://pokepast.es/1a12c75cbde9a4cc
this pecharunt/samurott HO/Offense/BO
ik its kinda similar to the hellom sample team but i think this one is easier to play and more set-up oriented
this is kinda weak to ceruledge and walking wake or just sun teams
New [Gen 9] OU RMT @north nimbus, @unkempt bough, @empty verge, @echo rampart. I won't notify you again for at least 6 hours.
you shouldnt build a team that's split between three different classifications lol
dedicate fully to one style
I didnt know which one it was so it was either ho o or bo lol
in this case, it looks to be the hyper offense style, so you should drop pecharunt
nah its defo ho once you got a sash lead mon its ho
honestlyh this is incredibly similar to the vert team with minor changes (not a jab at you just a funny coincidence) so it might just be best if you pivot towards that
if you dont want to pivot towards that, you should at least slot on iron moth for a tspikes absorber, and then maybe pick up dragonite as your last sweeper for some defensive utility?
Pecha is tspikes absorher or no with air balloon
pecha isnt good on hyper offense tho
so should I change samu set?
If you want to pivot to Bo you should also drop moon
And atp you’re basically running hellom
moon to dragonite?
If you want to keep this hyper offense, drop pecha for moth drop tusk for dnite
If you want to run bulky offense, run hellom

Soooo, in my opinión is a gratis team, but i dont know what Last two pokemon can i add
Not really of fan of weavile and Val here asw
I’d suggest keeping one (that one is weavile) I would recommend running a skarmory with brave bird and spikes here
We only rate complete teams you could ask in #comp-general for something like this though
Thanks an sorry
all g
I think you forgot natures
And also to put supreme overlord on kingambit
But otherwise this is, not bad
yes, ii forgot the natures
https://pokepast.es/6bde6dcfc7e6c17f is a spinner required or is this fine.
New [Gen 9] OU RMT @north nimbus, @unkempt bough, @empty verge, @echo rampart. I won't notify you again for at least 6 hours.
No not really
Although you may want to swap mola to something else
Like a spin blocker such as sinistcha
Doesnt tera fire kingambit become a problem then?
Mola doesn’t really check gambit on its own
If you’re concerned about gambit you can swap pult to zama
Or throw in a Keldeo somewhere
https://pokepast.es/aea1240dcbc6a59a
What advantages would keldeo have > zamazenta here?
I used defensive sinistcha purely because I REALLY hate ogerpon W but is CM better?
Pokepaste
Anyhow Glimmora only fits on hyper offense which this doesn’t look like
Give pult its hdb set
Make cinderace it’s standard pivot set with court change for hazard removal
You can perhaps change Glimmora to a Lando t for a better rocks setter on bulky offense
Give prim one of its smogon sets I’d personally go with either assault vest as a bulky special pivot or calm mind sub noise for some stall fuckery
You don’t need meow and Corv tbh prob change them to some bulky offense mons like raging bolt and kingambit
im honestly fine with my team
im currently trying to see if i can give one or two of my mons a ground move
well then I could probably switch ting for gliscor ig?
I only ran double hazards on ting bc I wanted both hazards but I didn't really have space for a second setter

in hindsight I think I should run Ice Spinner on Tusk
well your team is very weak to hazards
glimmora on its own isnt really a hazard removal option outside of hyper offense
what elo are you playing on?

https://pokepast.es/4da89fe2dfb3fac0
Is quaquaval actually good here?, also wondering abt the dnite set
Yea 1100 Elo isn’t a good indicator of what is good and what isn’t
I'd run the iron defense body press set on Zamazenta instead of an all out attacking one
there's a lot more issues than just that
the team is directionless rly
oh and you forgot the item on arquanid lol
speaking of the spider, this is a webs team without any real webs abusers
you either pivot to a BO team or rework it around webs cuz rn its not doing either very well
im gonna make this a BO team lol
im sorta doing it for fun
but i might change my team a bit when the time comes
thats fine, but when u post your team here you're doing it with the expectation that it would be rated under the assumption that you want to make it as viable as possible, and thus not just for fun
but if you wanna just run it for the giggles
no one is stopping ya
I tried to pick all the mons that I like, but I'm willing to part with some if this team has obvious blindspots, like if Reuniclus dies I will not beat Salazzle
Salazzle isn’t viable in ou, don’t worry about her
Also Blaziken only really fits on hyper offense reuniclus is a niche pick on bootspam teams and hoodra I can’t really comment on cuz I don’t really use him but you have iron crown and kingambit for your steels already so honestly drop him for something like great tusk or Lando t
Following inspiration from another user's sun team and previous experiences building this archtype, I've retried my hand at Sun HO https://pokepast.es/d1df65240679ef09. Flame away!

Gambit is a good late cleaner
Haven't played with iron leaves
Serperior doesn't seem that good nowadays
Blaziken only really fits on hyper offence teams and you basically need to force a switch to get going
Reuniclus is really slow and wouldn't fit well there
Goodra... Yeah
Bruh not iron leaves
You seem very new to competitive. You should try using sample teams before teambuilding as it'll allow you to learn about OU and how the metagame works.
you can find sample teams there

https://pokepast.es/a93a8ce77884ddd9
not super experienced w cg teambuilding, tried to go for a sticky web ho thing, araquanid + gholdengo is the webs core, then kinda just slapped together a bunch of sweepers? tusk for hazard control, have booster valiant in case the webs plan doesnt work and i need a backup sweper, then crown/bolt are sweepers
this is p decent, I'd make tusk a bulk up set tho and maybe gleam over focus blast on ghold to compliment tera fairy? oh and also if you wanna use the stored power shenanigans iirc latias is a bit better at that then iron crown, iron crown is a better mon overall but its usually an offensive pivot
thanks! the sample set is cm/agi/sp/aura sphere but i think agi is pretty droppable on this team due to webs, what should i replace it with?
You could maybe go with draining kiss instead, personally I'd keep agility to rack up the stored power damage tho also into the various boots mons that won't care for webs such as dragapult which can threaten huge damage with either of its stabs
Oh yeah valiant has a mixed set on smogdex you can switch the ev spread to that and you should be good to go
is moth > valiant an option
It would bolster the fairy if you swap iron crown out, so it's an option, especially cuz the most relevant offensive fairy in enamorus is immune to webs
Try out both, you could also try out destiny bond val to trade for your opponents sweeper
Moth is better valiant on webs
Mainly because you need something to beat up Cinderace and moth does it excellently
this channel is for singles ou lol

NAT DEX TEAM : charizard Y, ferrothorn, great tusk, weavile, slowking-galar, and primarina, any tips pls feel free to dm me
send me the pokepast in dms
ill send it for you
ill forward their advice
qhen they give
Oh
This should be in NatDex OU Rates
Wanting to climb to 1700 elo from 1550. Love using this style of team, but am conflicted as to which version is best. Anyone can review both and see which team is best equipped to get me there? Would be greatly appreciated. Version #1: https://pokepast.es/7f72b48c41fbb3dc Version #2: https://pokepast.es/b9790cc38a8d45e7
https://pokepast.es/0e8ef99ea465ff6b first impressions of the new team i built (promise not gonna be like last time)
ill test it a bit
Balance team?
idk but id say so
u ran some calcs earlier in general no?
moon can outspeed and kill dhengo with knock off
and dhengo can stop hazards from going away so i gotta kill it
nvm gonna improve team
Idk anything abt gen9 but many mvs just kos everything
For eg - ivy cudgel
Etc
Can ya suggest me some changes to get high on ladders
is this stall?
Ig I just ask chat gpt for it
guys look out chatgpt coming for yall
damn ai can make decent teams
Btw corde <<< Bibi
all ik is that i barely see dmg
I lose to ivy cudgel 💀
i will rival that statement
decent
Yh idk how to deal with steel mons
wait delete the team
Bruh
(dont forget to thank gpt)

C ya
Ig coldsire corv dozo?
Give clodsire amnesia over earthquake so it can wall special stuff more long term
Waterfall is preferred over liquidation on dodo because more pp
Since this is sp def scor you can give it Tera steel for future sight or water for ice/water resist but honestly you don’t really want to Tera scor
Make corv Tera fighting to check gambit better since you are running iron press (you can also make it Tera fire to block burn since you are hdb)
I’d personally make Pex Tera steel for emergency stored power/waterpon grass attack predict but like scor pex Tera is situational
Please dont post stuff you've just generated with chatgpt
For the team I configured it
Moves items ability
Evs
That's not just generated ig

Ty !
First of all: don't use chatgpt for showdown, its notoriously dogshit at its job and is not reliable in the slightest
Second: This stall team is not viable due to the lack of hazard absorbers + checks to certain threats (chiefly Kyurem), and I would recommend using the sample stall teams for nwo: stall is a notoriously hard archetype to build this generation, and its options are extrmeely limited for viable teams

Bad roaring moon set, thats for sure
Details would have to wait on others
what moon set do you think would be good?
never run speed booster moon
except on banded moon on sun
ddmoon should always be atk proto
alr
This team is split between multiple styles
You've got a fat, passive Ting Lu (and a barely viable Rotom-W), then a hyper offense core of Valiant Rmoon Treads, and then Specs Crown
Settle on one style: either stick to the hyper offense (and change some of their sets), or pivot to the bulky offense with crown + valiant and drop the rest, or pivot to the balance/fat with ting lu and ig rotom if you really want to force it
Reminder to test your teams on ladder before sending them here: it can help expose a lot of flaws/areas of improvement with just a few games
alr
i used the rmoon ival and crown due to them doing 2 3 type cores
fighting dakr psychic
dragon fairy steel
id say bulky offence
alr have a ho team
wait lemme check my teams
nvm i would like to pivot to balance
alr got a bo and ho
frankly atp you would strip the team so much itd be better to run a sample
since you would essentially be building off of ting lu and no other mons
so bo?
build around the core of crown + valiant
this isn't a teambuilding channel so i wont build the entire team for you but you should probably go some kinda core of lando crown val etc
alr
also in smogon sets
why does defencive lando use e power
and not eq
it has a higher attack stat
ep hits targets with defense boosting moves ie zamazenta and bu tusk
(you hsould read the analyses for the sets they explain why)
just read them
also ive finished with the bo approach
everything in the team resists each other
kingambit switches to icrown
landot switches to help king
mb
ill try dragonite > kingambit
as it says in rfaq command it checks waterpon
damn no i need gambit
imma try pecha > alom
when tf did poison not resist water
hell fucking nah
see like a pinkacross video on it
alr how about this https://pokepast.es/1cd01700cabac111
sum slight sum slight

Use pokepaste. Use the dex to help you pick better sets; you have very bad sets like specs nasty plot and spinless sash tusk
Hmmm wanted to try a hydrapple balance in ou. https://pokepast.es/d4276eeafaa8a0f0

Uhhhhhh you might wanna switch up some sets
What stat 🤔
If body press is your only attack on corv run iron defense not bulk up
Booster for tusk and balloon for ghold
There are other choices though
Air ballon right?
Facade for 🤔
I removed and added protect
There’s multiple gliscor sets and yours is kind of an awkward combination
💀
Tell me good ms please
Check the official smogon site and you can see a list of good sets
For instance, look up “gliscor smogon SV”
https://pokepast.es/ee49f46ca977b3de hyper offense
Based hydrapple is so epic
I'm not the best with these very bulky balance teams but imo trick on iron valiant over one of your attacking moves might be a good idea to beat opposing balance
I always like to carry one or two of those tools to shut down more passive mons
Taunt encore trick etc etc
Scarf trick gholdengo probably fits better since it also acts as a spin blocker.
whats the purpose of bu on corvi if u only have body press
This one seems sort of appealing, it’s straight-forward enough as someone who would sweep w/ Serp, Blaziken, and Porygon-Z against my friends in gen 6
I only picked Iron because he has like the highest win rate in doubles with Kingambit but that doesn’t really apply to Ou singles. I’m fine with playing a hyper-offense team, but what Pokémon simply outclass Serperior and Reuniclus? I’m not married to them but they are favorites, their familiar playstyle on a better mon would be fine
there are no mons that really replicate the role of serperior and reuniclus
What exactly is a “Core” when it comes to team building? What makes Slowbro Galar such a good pivot/what is a pivot beyond using switch moves?
but there are mons that outshine their general niche
and this is more a question for #comp-general than sv ou rates
Oh right my bad
as these are general competitive questions as opposed to team questions
Also fair enough, I’ll try and transfer to there
for gliscor just use spikes eq prot toxic
prot is mandatory so no knock off
toxic helps cripple physical attackers
eq is good dmg and no taunt
spikes are spikes
chat what are good water type counters
all i have to beat water is a pecharunt for waterpon
Waterpon dragons zapdos sinistcha niche options like amoongus wo chien
tbh sinistcha might work to replace pecha

now i see why im not supposed to post a team that much
actually imma try sinistcha
good moves strength sap
Just use araq bro
You don’t even have a sun setter take take advantage of leavanny
i mean the speed tier alone is worth it in some cases
i think off sun you may want to just stick with sash and run like
the same spread but just sash
i feel like ribombee has the role of a fast webs setter already
leavanny has coverage and surprise but thats it
isnt araq like way bulkier
you can webs
and like hinder a monuseless with custap endure endeavor
araq has a positive matchup against all hazard control
great tusk iron treads cinderace doesnt like getting surfed/liquidated
hamurott if you are using a bug attack
even no brave bird corviknight
and g weezing
I tried out Sash but I really loved the pivoting utility of ej pack.
Leavanny can afford to not run Sash because of ej pack pivot though it doesn't worry too much.
also ej pack is way more consistent than sash because of the prelevance of hazards in this game.
Also for the love of god Leavanny and Araquanid fills two different niches.
One is a bulky Sticky Web setter who can run Custap to overcome it's speed weakness and retaliate against leads that would usually beat Ribombee. Another is a fast Sticky Web setter who wants Eject Pack Leaf Storm to flip matchups and uses it's coverage moves and speed to speedcreep mons and threaten them.
they have the same role but diffrtent niche then right?
https://pokepast.es/07430b388ac924c0 also 1 question. would yall find moon > bolt better on the team?
SV OU is so cancer
Maybe I should just stick to Ubers instead
Anyways some hazard stack I tried to make
i'd rather use Glimmora to stack hazards
gholdengo is cool though hazard removal blocking
this looks fine, i’d maybe make moltres mixdef to improve the kyu mu and make pult wisp tghost over twave tfairy
??? bro this is evidently not HO
got it
Yeah please don't run glimmora as your hazard stacker on any hstack team that isn't offence
I wanted to build around tankchomp but can’t help feeling they my matchup into knock tusk is meh
I had great Tusk over meow originally but I wanted a second speedy mon that can knock too so maybe boots rai can fit over meow?
ice spinner on tusk does more to meow than ftrick does to tusk bro 😭
meow is a fraud
unless u run band meow
and even then ftrick has a chance to not ohko
between ftrick and taxel they have to guess which button to click but
meow does not solve a poor tusk mu per se
its a shaky answer at best
meow doing less dmg to tusk than tusk doing dmg to meow is crazy
Tusk does have a mild case of stupid physical bulk
yeo yeo yeo
Triple wisp is wild
But sure wynaut
o true
yh idt u need wisp krai here even
knock krai might be good
or plot 3a
Meow also notably has a mild case of being ass
A dark type would be nice, but you need some priority
Knock off on Val should be okay
I just got swept by venusaur for the 69420th time
We only rate completed teams, and this is for singles OU, not doubles
the raters usually respond p quickly
its just that fewer players means requests happen less often
ohhh
only issue is i have a bad ghost type mu
Hmmmm attempt 2 at trying to snuff out ogerpon W this time using ogerpon W on the team.
https://pokepast.es/e2020d6200e07828
My main worry is if the team is too slow? Most fast mons I need to worry about seem to already be dealt with, val is dealt with by priority + AV iron horns(whatever it's name is called), ting lu beats out moth and pult, pecharunt beats out zamazenta, rillaboom helps in beating scarf samm
New [Gen 9] OU RMT @north nimbus, @unkempt bough, @empty verge, @echo rampart. I won't notify you again for at least 6 hours.
Could someone be kind enough to teach me how to make a team?
Ngl I think it's decent but that's for a different channel
why av rillaboom?
Scarf? It should be AV
whast the thinking behind thils team? you're lacking speed control except for rillaboom, this looks like a weird balance team but not with a lot of the common balance staples, and this team is still weak to wogerpon
It started out as an attempt at pecharunt balance utilizing ting lu, pecharunt, but I had some thoughts regarding mons like kyurem which is where iron horns is from, it kinda transitioned to a mix match of balance and like BO.
But the primary goal above all else was a pecharunt balance.
pecharunt really isnt that good on balance
atp you have better ghost types and also aren't as afraid of fighting types so there's not as much a reason to run pecharunt
It fits better on BO or is it mostly just an offensive mon.
i mean its a defensive pivot
but it fits on bulky offense because its whole gimmick is "quick pivot that can blank fighting types and provide opportunities for fellow dark types"
which isn't as necessary on balance since you already have quite a few fall backs against fighting types
- balance doesn't dark spam to the same degree
So something better would be maybe forming it around like pecharunt + kingambit, maybe zamazenta as well to continue to help against ogerpon W and help with speed.
yes
Something like this may be better https://pokepast.es/400afdb9a18bdfee
still dont know why you're using av rillaboom
Yh rilla is usually banded
It has some insane breaking power with a choice band
Meanwhile AV is not really offering much
Got it, banded boom, anything else need changing?
band stab grassy glide with adamant has insane damage
dont run rillaboom in general i dont understand what it does for this team
like genuinely why are you running rillaboom
also your lack of actual spdef tankers is a struggle esp against moth kyurem wake bolt etc
kyurem's having a field day
I've realized that, thinking of a way to combat that.
Water fire coverage is real good
hits so kuch mons
Vested glowking or hdb pivot. I assume pivot due to no defog.
yes
btw relax
if you manage to add kyurem
glowking can set snow for khu
letting him tank more
and safely set up
please don't give advice if you're not experienced with the tier
Also what are good wake counters
its either im stupid or https://pokepast.es/176e7976a5cd9019 this team gets run down by wake
or does ival beat it
why is this marked ag
this team isn't very comfortable into wake but has ways out with val moon and crown, though its still a rough mu
anyways if you have mu specific questions ask #comp-general
outspeed and ohko
ty
but a walking wake can switch out
and kill my ival
so thats why itd rough
like i said, ask general
alr
also what are some changes or changes i can test with on the team
or leave it as is
Please read the RMT rules. Only post completed teams
And when I ask things about mons abt what mvs to add etc you guys say keep it in ou sv
Aa you never show up then lmao nvm
I do not know what you’re talking about. The purpose of the RMT section is for having completed and play tested teams rated to be optimized. If you want to teambuild you can do it in #comp-general
Where I already linked you format resources twice in the last few hours
if you have a full team its for here
if you need sets
its on the smogdex
dont need to ask in chat when its a google search away
https://pokepast.es/bbefb413e51411f2
do i leave as is or make changes?
both
whats a way to stop it from being a team problem
and more a me problem
so the team is good but im bad
New [Gen 9] OU RMT @north nimbus, @unkempt bough, @empty verge, @echo rampart. I won't notify you again for at least 6 hours.
It has corv so it's immediately a fraud/s
how bad part 2
which is better?
seems ground weak (t2)...
hmmm..
dont you have like a ground resist and a ground immunity
What's the resist 😭
The resist is belief
True
Regardless idt it's that tusk weak
Clef kinda answers it
You could maybe swap one of your pivots for the birds tho
How is my team?
It's fine I just don't think tankchomp itself is a very good mon
Like what does it do here that gliscor doesn't do better
That isn't phasing
Cuz that's kinda it
And it's the only one doing the phasing anyway 😭
Yea tbh I just wanted to see if Tankchomp could actually work
And if I could make garchomp work in ou
Is sd chomp valid tho
If I used Lando t I wouldn’t have to use torn t and swap av ting Lu to a real Mon like kingambit 😭
I want to start experimenting with more niche mons that’s why I m asking
I mean kinda
I just think kyurem better at that role tho
thats the thing its not a bad mon its just a case of why
its hard to justify
I mean I see a lot of SCL players use niche mons like chomp
I assume it’s to surprise their opponent
And from my experience sd chomp can legit sweep if you aren’t careful
garchomp has a place
on certain teams its good but again it has so much competition for its role
its still garchomp at the end of the day
i have a pivot? also which variation?
sorry saw glowking with boots and just assumed pivot
nasty plot lowk crazy
it prob works somewhere but you already have bolt ngl
meanwhile molt answers tusk cause burns are funny
not knock off tusk really
I mean sure kinda
knock is annoying but if molt is carrying hurricane tusk drops
plus trading wisp on tusk for knock on molt to me isn't worth it
I prefer 2 personally
with uhhh like a molt for glow?
ye

or do i just pick up a sample
so its good or do i just use a sample
So like do i use a sample instead or is it a usable/good team
its a VoltTurn core that has 1 main goal
find an opportunity for rmoon to setup and sweep
all the pivoting can make small progress
and maybe picking up 1 kill
all mons resist each others weaknesses
and a backup set up mon in ival
iCrown helps with fsight and v switch into ival to pressure dark types to switch out so they dint get stab moonblasted
if its a gambit that goes in then i dont go for ival and instead go for tusk or LandoT
for eq
maybe rmoon
if i wall said dark type
Also is the team usable or do i just opt for a sample
"looks ok tho"
i mean like from 1/10
just beat a stall user and lost to someone else bc he crit
what
nah as in someone sent a broken yt link
it got deleted
ig 6-7 its like p standard offence, I'm personally not a huge fan of iron crown as a pivot but thats moreso personal preference its fine here and gives you a good fairy resist
damn i finally made a good team
what are ways to get it to an 8?
thats like a set change
it would need to be some minor optimisations tbh, I can't really see where you'd go at a glance with said optimisations
you can only iron out the small flaws in a team with playtesting ngl
https://pokepast.es/70ac066a8f8e7203 Just asking for critique/improvements on my Kyurem BO
if mamoswine was ou youd get cooked tbh\
but i cant be talkiing
hmm I need some special bulk 🤔
type overlap is fine
wouldnt switching bolt to a special defencive mon like blissey or maybe a bulky spD mon like hatt or glowking
or is there some tech im far missing
blissey just makes you lose momentum
2 type overlap doesnt matter too much in my experience
and hatt kinda makes cinderace's job a bit harder
also is that jay from ninjago
I was thinking of swapping bolt yeah but maybe not those options, but glowking sounds cool
id say wait for more responses
im not that good i was giving thoughts so dont rlly listen to my advice
but glowking would help kyurem no?
yess
snow would make kyurem thicke
yeahh thats a popular pairing
regardless this team is eh like I get the idea but you're kinda lacking in the firepower department beyond kyurem to me
raging bolt without booster energy isn't that threatening and iron valiant has some kinda odd EVs for a mixed set, like this team looks like it would kinda struggle to break past some stuff if Kyurem goes down, enam also can defo give you some trouble
I'd say swap pecha for glowking who can help with spreading even more status and then for me personally I'd go with Zama over valiant and then smth like boots rockpon over raging bolt to threaten the birds
also go for the boots glowking pivot set
setting ice for kyurem gonna be rlly helpful
bc of the def buff
and safely gets kyurem on the field
yeah thats a nice pairing
also rockpon is gonna delete them birds
ill summarize
kyurem already sorta beats them but the rest of the team doesn't appreciate their presence
glowking > pecha
dont I really struggle against zamazenta without pecha?
rockpon > rbolt
why tera ice btw?
tera ice on kyurem
pretty sure glowking quad fresists fighting
and kills with f sight
you can f sight
then pivot to kyurem
zama has to switch
freest ddance
if zama stays
u tank
you have cinderace or glowking to status it, plus ur own zama can sorta soft check it in a pinch|
you can keep pecha if the zama MU gets particularly annoying
I cant really swithc into zama well without taking a big hit of damage
alternatively cinderace>moltres and iron valiant>tusk for hazards
slowking quad resits no?
go to glowking
f sight
pivot to kyurem
tera ice saves me
crunch and hslam does a lot of damage
future sight threatens like 80% tho
New to comp pokemon any suggestions?
what metagame is this?
no clue what tier this is for but it aint gen 9 ou
also
go for loaded dice
it makes ice spear do way more dmg
it does tank, but I'd always rather keep my glowking healthy for the specialers yk
glowking gets regenerator
glowking should do fine. If u rly need it do the molt over cinderace then slot tusk on for hazard control. Pecha prefers to be on slightly more aggro structures imo
yeah thats true, but nmi works with freeze dry well too
dice is ebst on scale shot variants
OU
Yeah but the damage def does stack, plus I honestly don't really feel its reliable in my experience
yeah this ain't gen 9 ou
annihilape is banned in ou
I'll try glowk and rockypom
nah boots pivot
rockpon cant use boots
but yeah im using knock off
was thinking of grasspon for a sec
thank u both for ur help
np

just be careful to keep hazards off the field with rockpon tho
you wanna make use of sturdy
noted
especially if smth like enam is tryna set up for a sweep so you can shatter it in return with ivy cudgel
granted glowking should check it fine
lol
also bc of glowking
your jyurem is prob gonna sweep more
ice defence boost and safely on field
yeah this looks better
fsight cfripples any switch in
also nocturne i found out my team only has a bad mu if i play bad
granted this was 1.1k elo
but i usually lose to crits
or focus miss
dawg anyone loses to crits
like crit ice spear fked me
thats not bad teambuilding thats just playing pokemon
it happens
you kinda wanna minimise the impact of a stray crit as much as possible but sometimes it just loses you the game
i just got crit and 5 hitted by a minnicho
i would have lived..
wait it was a cinnicho
yepp thats my plan with most teams
