So is there still some hard pokemon to beat with my team?
And i need to know one thing
How do u know when to tera?
u dont want specs val on ho, cm is much better here, id also make tusk rocks over knock here
could also test bulk up tusk
cm means calm mind i think
ho is hyper offence
Changed valiant by changing item to booster energy removed vacuum wave to put calm mind
id also drop psyshock for encore
I have psychic
psychic hits nothing of note bar toxapex and encore is just general good utility
hmm
you’re a little weak to opposing moth, so maybe go psychic on moth over energy ball and tera fairy?
Aight
other than that looks good though
Thanks!

Has had success in 1700s but thinking of what to improve
New [Gen 9] OU RMT @north nimbus, @tacit bluff, @alpine hornet, @low phoenix, @empty verge, @trail whale, @unkempt bough, @echo rampart. I won't notify you again for at least 6 hours.
I was thinking something like scarf lando or scarf tusk as well, but defog sounded like a good idea at the time, so i switched in corv bc steel/flying + defogger looked pretty great
you could go with cinderace
just put rocks on ting instead of spikes
lets you spread burns and pivot
also you prob should add ice coverage on zama or dnite
bc gliscor is very annoying for the team
Corv can outstall gliscor, but since I'm removing it you're probably right
I think standard cm valiant works
With encore
maybe vs molt i could just not get haxed with flame body
but prim is smth that is really hard for the team
wellspring too
https://pokepast.es/f99daec00d767af3 am I missing any threats?
Admin how many chomp teams are you gonna post lol
As long as I keep getting bad ideas 😔
Ok well chomp lowkey sucks here and you’re once again better off with other breakers but ig for a chomp team it’s fine
Careful around sd wellspring
I can see how moltres would be a problem for this team. I will try adding head smash to tusk. Should I also give it tera fire to prevent burns?
https://pokepast.es/207ccdf13dc5ab42
Is this team good?

I've been struggling with rotom wash
<wow, I'm struggling so much with (against) corv- wonder what I can do>
This is what I can do and I think it's awesome
https://pokepast.es/bf90836c19054290
I mean for a start you can simply just make the gholdengo more offensive imo
And give it air balloon
No I meant this is my answer to corv, I had Ogerpon-C instead of gholdengo
I had absolutely nothing for it if it was physical
Oh so you replaced cornerstone with gholdengo
We’ll still I would make dengo air balloon np

Not really a big fan of the lack of breaking power in that team
Team looks likes it struggles to break the birds like Moltres, Corv
Free ground attack

crazy
Synthesis woger is definitely a choice
Omg your pfp is a bear??????
I thought it was an upside down chicken head this whole time.
It is
Why that, over things like horn leech or sd or trailblaze or uturn ot knock off or taunt/encore
https://pokepast.es/222c9be8603f1cc4
first time playing OU in a couple years. not too sure if i made this right
mmmmmmmm
this is odd
so you have a lorb enam with healing wish, enam usually doesn't run lorb because of its hazard weakness but also healing wish is on its scarf set typically
but said set is used on hyper offence which this, just isn't?
this is more of a balance team if anything
there's also some odd set choices
there's no reason for pecharunt to use poison gas
its just flat out worse than toxic
This could easily be a decent balance team just fix up the Pecha set and drop Enam/scarf dengo for a proper sweeper like Dnite or Waterpon

sir
all of these sets are unviable
cinderace lando and iron valiant have protect for some reason
why scarf dragonite + extreme speed when you can just dragon dance
also what are landos and kyurems ev sets even for

why not venusaur
for a chlorophyll sweeper and a tspikes absorber
and why ninetails and torkoal

Kyurem check where
Heatran
Earth power
Who cannot take on kyurem?
They’re immune to the ground attack
I could prolly go flash cannon over wisp for kyurem
Why not
If it’s specs I either Tera or swap
Boots
Boots is ddance no?
Boots can also be special
I can always twave pult/draco it 2 times
Also having heatran as u sole fairy resist in the world of cc valiant ep enam knock clef prim won't work
Oh damn I didn’t even notice the 4 fairy weaknesses
No Tera electric dnite check?
Tusk 
+1 spear kills every time
I hv kingambit for that
Prolly should swap out ting for corv
Defogger and fairy resist
If he has a heatran+2 flying types that’s decent enough to deal with specs kyurem
It’s always going to be a hard Mon to switch into
But you’re right about the team in general too many fairy weaknesses
What adjustments can get these guys to the next level:

Give LO to deoxys, it can one shot glowking with a +2 LO, probably can't with spoon.
Also, ceruledge over armarouge is....idk man
I feel like there is a need to address all the major threats in the tier first
Just did the calcs to double check.
I'm right, +2 LO expanding force in terrain is a guaranteed ohko on standard glowking defensive set.
With spoon it's a roll
I thought I needed a ghost time to threaten some of the threats like Goldie. It also has CC for ting Lu and garn.
Great suggestion I’ll adjust
I had a feeling I've seen this team somewhere
This you?
It’s that team, but a different user created it
def lorb over eblt
otherwise i like this concept, a little weak to offensive ace tho
Team doesn’t look too good vs ting lu
We made it to 1700 elo which has been my highest. I’m trying to find the right tweaks
Why hydrapple tera fairy
Why not like tera fire or steel....or ground even for third stab
Helps vs dragons like bolt

Kyurem
Tbf he can play around it with Gambit, valiant and co
That’s for specs kyu
Specs kyu litterally just has to click blizzard
huh?
no bro moreso than specs kyu dd kyu is the problem
as it tera grounds and gets plus two and wins
can people stop making comments if they dont know wjat theyre talking abt 🥀
Kyrum and water pon should be banned lowkey
not the place to talk this about!
ok so this feels like almost ho but with a couple passive guys thrown in
imo the most simple fix is just going lead taunt dual hazards lu, encore over dbond on ival and perhaps go cm, make pon sd pr and drop zap for something like dnite
oh and make hatt hwisj
me thinks we can also wait, to see their opinion if they would like to keep it "balanced" archetype in a way, cause i do agree with those changes but not sure if they would be fine changing the playstyle they had in mind
this is true! could def also be taken like a drop ival and hatt sort of route
cause this lowkey gets bullied by opposing gambit, even more so if it has low kick
but the main issue is def kyurem still!
True
I don’t get it what did I say there that was wrong
All I said was he can play around specs kyurem
It's not 😭
more liek the concern is that kyurem is still going to be an issue regardless
https://pokepast.es/bd5438127f4df3d5 tried to make a t elec kyurem balance, ik the prima set looks goofy but its to not get ohkoed by sd val

Prima set is fine but is Pecha + Scarf Darkrai not sufficient for physical valiant?
you also get rlly mogged by Moltres I would sprinkle a tera fire somewhere in here, on tusk or gambit
Isn't the lack of a ground immunity more of an issue here
https://pokepast.es/1b3e2258af33c3fb ok updated team to have a ground immunity+wish clef bc lack of recovery hurts
oh wait i forgot to tera
corv would be tera dragon
idk what clef should be
steel?
well i try to build and play balanced to improve, idk if it's good but i feel like ho dont really help me learn the game, like i lead taunt rock and then try to sweep every turn
yeah i learned the hard way that kyurem was a huge problem for my team
just use a sample team lol
theyre here for new players to use to get accustomed to whats viable

Crown is tera water mb
I swear you spammed this team like 3 times already
No one is saying anything
This looks relatively fine, tho might do gking > iron crown just for better mu vs bolt while still checking things like enam and kyurem, but besides that looks fine, also uhh knock > synthesis on woger
I think slowking can be an offensive knocker like weavile
Give some more breaking power too
Also I think standard dragon dance is better o no your kind of team
Because you need commit Tera to dnite for that current set
Watch a replay of a Pokémon battle between HUNTER098TEST and naughtybilooou! Format: [Gen 9] OU; Date: Jun 8, 2025
this set is a movie tho
i rlly wanna build around it
i mean you coincidentally encountered a team mu where it would be in favor for it to click buttons, not to say the bad is that you gotta ensure the rest of team can also be reliable without needing tera and still have something when u know teraing dnite isnt needed
@north nimbus @tough garnet it's been 3000 years
keep in mind I've basically skipped this entire gen up until like this week so this might be kinda rough
seems this cannot switch around wake tho
would like to keep the same offensive mons but I'm fine w changing anything as long as tusk stays
omg a ghost has arise, also ratio despises this tier lmao
cb tusk is interesting, not to say i agree or disagree with it, just hate getting locked in a tier with ballon dengo, gambits, dnite/corv, and lu almost everywhere
What would u reccommend i slot this set into then
Very based team and all but live Tera electric blast ddance kyurem reaction:
That is fair, I did consider making it BU but I wanted some more immediate power (and also ability to break dondozo)
Plus other waters
Wouldn’t you be Tera reliant then? Not to say dozo isn’t an issue fwiw even mola
Tru
Going bu tusk could revise this to offense a lot easier me thinks
But idk if that’s what you want
I would like band but I can be open
Like I said I have skipped almost the entire tier so I’m learning from the ground up again
Would be open
Could I still slot in supercell tho
Ahh well cb also lets opposing tusk and zama in freely which is like the opposite of what you want generally
Supercell is ngl
Bad
Rip
feels like it hits nothing that the other moves don’t already
And if ur so concerned for waters u always got other slots to help it out
Mostly waters yea but also corv molt
I dont even play this gen lol
that’s true and all but then again I wouldn’t use it on cb set fwiw
I thought you did until I was informed otherwise
Mb
All good
Gotchu
Think it could work on BU mayb?
slight maybe cause still things like stabs, spinner, knock, and rapid spin are just immensely better options tho it also depends later on towards a team if additional pressure is needed or not

if you really plan to use that dnite set i would use it in offense tbh
Well let’s say we make it typical BU then, what ideas do you have
generally, most common stuff is bu, headlong rush, ice spinner, rapid spin being the most common, last but cc and knock are usable then again sometimes moves can be played around to hit what you need but generally you cover everything with the 3 attacks
rapid spin is nice for well the additional speed boost and hazard removal for teams as always
ye well u go max hp generally just to get a free speed boost from booster
O it’s booster right
Aight bet
How about the rest of the team then?
I might need a better wake answer
I dont wanna use HO can it be viable in BO? otherwise ill just switch sets to something else
i dont wanna do the ''regular'' set tho im feeling silly
its going to fit a lot better in offense structures that are playing fast and aggro, clicking buttons which ironically is where the set shines and also also featured in a sample
since were going with offense i feel better pressure vs wake would be ideal, cause outside of av hatt or even av prima not much else is wanting to take hits
you can be really creative with dnite fwiw
Oh more offensive pressure you mean?
like making this to ho basically
Could I leave the first 3 and then change the defensive mons or what
the first 4 are honest a solid start
its just the latter two and changing up sets tbh
Yeah thats what im trying to do
but i have a hard time building
and dont want to use sample cuz i dont like ppl knowing my stes
sets*
Bet, more offensive rockers are like what
Deo or lando?
Or mayb cease is enough hazards
generally lando
could make it av h samu + rocks lando, hwish hatt, bu tusk, and then dengo last

Oh tru I would have nuzzle hat then

woops forgot gleam
but fwiw tera ghost on tusk is to do mind games vs sd scor especially if its double dance
ye
if wake is still annoying fwiw, u can make this max spa pult and go for draco since most of the darts target are covered by the rest of the team
nothing here likes switching into it, but then again it doesnt like to switch into anything here

fosho be mindful when going against np rai !
help with this team? the idea is cb pult uturns on dark types to bring in val and scizor

feels like overkill on the whole pivot idea
team seems solid overall though, I'd probably do SD Sciz and CM Raging Bolt
haha cb sciz + thunderclap + cb pult is so good into offense

The problem with your team is there is a lot of unviable sets there
-Max attack drill peck corv
-psychic & psychic noise on Prim?
Then there is a random garchomp on the team for no reason.
Also you can run Tera blast>rock slide on DD kyurem
Wide lens ace is interesting but ace would usually want boots
Cinderace is usually just there for speed control tho and yes I hate the hjk miss and the recoil fainting
I changed psychic to energy ball
And yeah I'll change the drill peck on corv to roost
It's not a random garchomp tho. It's literally my wall breaker, and it usually breaks through so many teams
Sooo is this new team more viable? Is it optimal?
hjk is interesting afaik standard is pyro uturn court change + last move
I see thanks
also you have 2 non boots rock spikes weaks with only fog corv as hazard removal
you could get cooked by ghold hstack
another reason for court change
cinder + corv is a nice hazard removing core
there's a specs kyu team that uses that
i would prob drop hjk since you can uturn on switch ins
prim set is weird too
i see the vision of cloak
I understand not liking to risk hjk miss but hdb makes your hazard MU better
I’m not sure I would consider Ace as “speed control” since it’s slower than common attackers like weavile, darkrai Dragapult Zama etc
Honestly I would make prim standard CM imo
chomp is not really needed here since you already have Dnite and kyurem, it’s kinda overkill
but what is ice beam hitting?
theres no real like breaker currently
then you can swap it for something else
I don't even know what to do with my primarina ;-;
sd chomp and that's it
cm or av
prob cm then
There’s a kyurem there tho
dd kyu? idk
i was thinking drop chomp, use double removal and use a breaker kyu set
What's sd garchomp
swords dance
Swords dance chomp
Oh yeah sd garchomp is doing a lot to my team
there's a blimax team with specs kyu cinder corv
Chomp is hard to fit on teams and only really fits on offensive teams like aurora veil
what's the concept of the team? like what do you want to keep and build around?
Garchomp
https://pokepast.es/91fd413638c58568
Here's the new updated team lol
Oh I hate stall btw
Scale shot sucks sm omg
I'm running it on kyurem only because of loaded dice
i havent used chomp like ever though
its nice as dragon stab for kyu
GF needs to make some better dragon type moves fr
I just prefer a more accurate dragon claw sometimes
do you really want to use sd chomp?
Ofc....
It did sm to me with tera steel why would I throw it away
I hit 1200 with Garchomp and y'all want me to remove it 💔
ur set is kind of hit or miss
with iron head eq dclaw you get hard walled by corv
you get rkilled by a lot of stuff
you prob build around chomp
Obv yes
idk how to use sd chomp or how good it is
since it doesnt have scale shot
but i would say drop iron head for a fire move
and then go tera fire
u still resist ice and you can break through corv
I'm gonna get cooked by Hatterene
I fear
Or maybe tera fire is good
I didn't try it tho
+2 252 Atk Garchomp Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 204+ Def Hatterene: 255-300 (80.1 - 94.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
hatterene takes a tiny bit of chip and bye bye

Can you guys please rate this team I made? I know, having Lokix is probably janky and there are probably better choice for his position but I'm using him for fun. Regardless I'm willing to remove him if it doesn't fit too good.
This thread is for OU, you want the Other Metagames thread https://discord.com/channels/192713314399289344/1059657287293222912
Paste is broken
Honestly you got two ways you can approach this, you always got a solid line up for offense, but you also got a solid line up for balance
My idea is to have immediate power with no set up required and have temporary pivot (max hp def lando t) before im forced to sack to switch because a lot of my mons are pretty frail, im trying to make an offense team.
If that’s the case then I would make this sub 3 attacks iron moth, go max speed on lando-t you generally don’t want to be outspeed by the likes of great tusk and such, make lokix 4 attacks, as well as go bu tusk here, and replace pult with hw hatt, and h samu with sd gambit
Ok, i will make the new team and play it. But giving up draco pult is sad :(, he is very fun to use.
Specs pult is generally more common in bo/ balance
Thought oger and AV hatt looked cool together
This team loses to wellspring and Zapdos I think, also unsure about a lot of sets
what playstyle are you trying to lead towards offense or a balance like structure
makes sense av hatt fwiw you would use more agressive teams tbh, but considering ur focus is woger + av hatt not sure what you would liek for the team to go
you might be better leaning more aggressive with something like a Lando
New [Gen 9] OU RMT @north nimbus, @tacit bluff, @alpine hornet, @low phoenix, @empty verge, @trail whale, @unkempt bough, @echo rampart. I won't notify you again for at least 6 hours.
Probably have to replace hat for slowking in that case cause Moonblast 6-0s
And this is basically just that one kyurem team with an ogerpon if I do that, not that anything’s wrong with that
Just thought hatt oger could work better ig
hatt oger is like an okie combo not to say it isnt useable, just not something you would think right away
Yeah fair
why not make this more aggressive
drop ace for another more offensive guy
Lando + Hat makes a decent defensive core for volt turn
was going to say if they do decide to commit to still wanting to use the team best alternative over ace would def be zama imo
yeah more speed control that way
this build reminds me of those old
Samu + Lando offenses
Is Lando hatt enough to keep hazards off?
if you play offensively enough it should be okay
I’d also think about switching the Pult set to maybe specs
I think pult has to go if I go zama over ace tbh
was thinking the same thing anyway
iron moth makes the most logical sense tbh > pult
Yeah fair honestly
I was trying to avoid fiary dance tbh lol
But it does just look like what the last slot needs
https://pokepast.es/be2993acb1f315f6 something amongst like this, you can honestly consider going nuzzle on hatt
Yeah that looks solid to me on paper ill ladder some tonight with it
I went psyshock to hit gloking
The initial team didnt like gloking very much but now nuzzle would projably be worth for oger and zama
nuzzle is generally good like 99% of the time, cause paralyzing major threats is huge for most if not every team, since games can come down on para hax or the reduced speed
Oh right yeah that too, origional team got smoked by sub moth
also also if u feel like av hatt isnt helping as much, just go eject button hwish hatt but yeah,
Yeah fair in my mind nuzzles a luxury if u can handle the things u need psychock for in other ways
Idk if that’s the right way to think about it tho
The idea was AV would help with all the dragons that come in on waterpon
Idk if hatt applys enough or any pressure at all tho to make that work
fwiw most dragons dont like coming into woger, at risk at getting knocked or potentially catch pr, then again u turn is also free momentum expecting dragons
Doesn’t that apply to all woger checks pretty much tho?
ye
I’m ngl what direction are you trying to accomplish with this team, or like what is the focus
Prob a balance
It got me to 1400
It’s good
1400 is not that hard to get to ngl
lol
Make my changes
I’m not saying the team is bad is just what are you aiming to do with it, cause it has an idea but it also ooosk like a clump of mess fwiw

Ngl I feel you might need to drop dengo or samu here, iron valiant ngl just clicks buttons agaisnt this team
That’s not
So I add a perch
Something that can take a hit from valiant, just clicks a move and profits majority if not all the time
Probably do like
Do I replace dengo or samu?
Pecha > h samu and scarf rai > dengo
You actually check woger as well
Might want to consider Tera ghost on tusk

first thing come to mind would be adding fire punch to dnite would make sense to help vs corv and scizor but that still doesnt vastly improve garg and dozo mu
no taunters or encore to disrupt these heavily passive mons
that's an idea
Fox has encore
she's just there to provide veil but every now and then she gets a kill
well regarding ur main offensive mons that are prob going to be around more frequent in battle comapre to the fox
yeah true
adding woger comes to mind cause it vastly helps pressure everything listed
and u just have overloaded breakers vs corv
Waterpon? I think that's a fine idea but I need to take into account someone would need to be cut and I feel like I like these 6 mons
I know Waterpon is quite good, was on my team in dlc1 where I got 119th on ladder
that team was Ninetales-A/Gambit/Waterpon/Moth/Tusk/Valiant
most successful team I've ever built
things had to change since Gliscor came back
and hypnosis got banned
then again i would prob just do eball > psychic on valiant fwiw
you mean Moth?
ye
and if that doesnt overall improve the mu
then u might want to heavily consider woger
the issue is then my options are limited basically to Dnite if I want to counter opposing moths
spdef Dozo cooks this team
but I mean I shouldn't be relying on a speed tie anyway
but besides that, eball on Moth is something I think I'll try
thats why i really encourage woger fwiw
I already have fighting coverage in gleam
I've got 2 EQ users for poison stuff
yeah, I'll try it out over psychic
helps the stall matchup right?
because it hurts Dozo
thanks
any other suggestions? I'm strongly considering fire punch on dnite
but that'd make raging bolt a bit more awkward to kill
it should be fpunch dnite fwiw cause then corv and scizor will still be annoying
if it weren't for him I'd be all for fire tera + fire punch Dnite
I'm going to consider that
thanks for your help
was that it? no other suggestions? How do my EVs look?
and like i said heavily consider woger
I will, I just don't think anyone here is replaceable
if I had a 7th mon Pon would be it
literally rai
oh wait is this not psyshock rai
psyshock rai you say?
tho
what's the set?
i still think woger would fit better here
and what does psyshock hit?
literally every fat mon you can think off
but yeh woger would just make are ur problems go away tbh
Psyshock beats Blissey

you still hardlose to Lu
and Spdef Dozo
but if you refuse to change anyone it’s the best solution
This teams MU is abysmal into stall unless you make a Mon swap
I think
Tell me the psychock Darkrai set please? My internet is having issues
just drop beam
Ice beam has been really nice but I guess it's worth a shot. I have 4 ice attacks on this team already
@north nimbus overall, how's it look?
made a few small adjustments, not likely to be final draft
looks fine-ish still think dozo and garg are going to be major buns to face against if not woger
spdef Dozo

isn't it true that any team is going to have threats to it? that said I'm fine making some adjustments to deal with things like that.
yes but some teams shouldnt lose to certaint things, like offense should never just let stall be an autolose
fair enough. you wouldn't rate this as "good" all things considered?
its good, but not solid
what does that mean exactly?
its like a 6/10
like its useable and will work, but its not something that will have consecutive success and be able to function in almost every match up
what would a 10 look like in your opinion?
probably some monstrosity cooked up in a 3am spl team
What actually is wrong with this team then?
and I don't suppose you have an example? @hot dome
think tyson said it fine as is
mons like dozo garg and to some extent lu are going to be issues to deal with, u want better mu against those literally just do woger
then the team will become solid
if i had a 10/10 team i would be laddering with it
a 10/10 team is probably something SZ has in his back pocket
made at 4 AM on the toilet
would literally be my dlc1 team but with dnite over valiant
crazy how things work sometimes
-makes a veil team
im going to be brutally honest, veil is never spicy
a lead in veil or we removing atales?
you can be
just not using the right mons
I don't know anymore
nah the most spice you can get is like double dance gliscor or something
I've seen double shell smash veil...
any more and you start pushign the "this is just bad" territory
see that's part of the "this is just bad"
its veil
its meant to be cheesy at the end of the day
the fat sap sets
in ting lu meta get out
in the initial draft I had Zama over Tusk
currently trying to make a pivot team, its kinda butt so here i go looking for ways to fix it
https://pokepast.es/038eed50dfacbf22
but felt like Tusk gave more of what I needed
this team got me into 1700s and since then i'm just playing bad
New [Gen 9] OU RMT @north nimbus, @tacit bluff, @alpine hornet, @low phoenix, @empty verge, @trail whale, @unkempt bough, @echo rampart. I won't notify you again for at least 6 hours.
maybe over scizor here
I think your matchup into opposing offence is fine as is
Could someone help me?
Tera dark pecha
Loaded dice kyurem
And add bulk up
Get rid of dragonite and add clefable or iron valiant
Replace ice beam
Freeze dry will be good for water
And Draco meteor
And what are the rest of the chnages for?
Cuz rn ur just listing shit for no reason
Or not giving one
Iirc this person is rated 1400s so take their advice with a grain of salt
💀
This looks generally fine, but I would make this zama 3 attacks roar, which then allows you to go double hazards on ting Lu, which then means you don’t want defog as much anymore on Corv so you can make this Corv 3 attacks
and please don’t give advice if you don’t know what u are even saying, thank you
making a pivot team and looking as to where to go from here
New [Gen 9] OU RMT @north nimbus, @tacit bluff, @alpine hornet, @low phoenix, @empty verge, @trail whale, @unkempt bough, @echo rampart. I won't notify you again for at least 6 hours.
i like ting lu over gliscor on this team more
you dont have a real dark/ghost switch in
corv can be idbp or 2 attacks + id
swords dance waterpon for a wincon
court change cinderace is enough hazard control for this team
specs pult and bb corv
Draco doesn’t even 0hko tho
And Zama can just crunch
taking volt turn into a whole new meaning
jokes asides somehting liek pecha makes sense to help vs zama and just alleviate pressure vs woger and iron val
i was thinking pecha
I was thinking glowking
but then what would be this teams speed control
Just drop pecha for scizor
this team already has scizor
I don’t think scizor is needed, and he has pult anywya
I meant
Drop scizor
For pecha
Ooops
or better yet before we do any changes
@somber obsidian what was the focus on this team and is there anything you would like to keep
seems like hes trying to create a pivot offense
ye but if theres any mon they specifically want to keep, best to ensure it reamins for any changes
@north nimbus wassup thx for the advice you didnt say over what mon i put zama. But im assuming oger? I have a cpl questions w that. I would then have no knocker and a pretty abismal stall matchup no?
Zama is replacing kyurem
But then i just lose into dozo
Not necessarily
If ur super concerned vs dozo then you can add taunt onto woger
Tho at the cost of missing out on u turn
Garg mu is annoying but doable with zama, Lu, woger you should be generally fine against it
Kk also is there a way i can build scarf kyu and dragonite on non ho. That was kinda my goal here so its pretty upsetting to not use kyu
Uhh
no
If your doing that you might want to commit to a very aggressive playstyle
No problemo !
I will undoubtbly be back today
I just liked spamming pivot moves, honestly just keep the scizor there aren’t much plans for everything else
also fwiw whenever ur building voltturn, you dontn necessarily need all 6 mons to be pivoters since then u will miss out something crucial to help cover other things
i do think u would want pecharunt in this team, and replacing it over cinderace is only logical, cause this still gives u something for zama, iron val, and alleviate pressure against woger, you might actually want to consider bpress on corv just to help out vs gambit, but i understand if u would prefer bb then again u can also decide to do bpress and bb with no turn(just be mindful when fighting against ghost if u do decide to), make this wisp boots pult this is just more resillience to help vs gambit and zama (though truthfully i would prefer this to be a zama), and replace gliscor with ting-lu you get a phaser, a solid ghost resist, and u handle things like rai, iron moth, dengo, and bolt a lot better
https://pokepast.es/ca4318a6f5cd23e2 like this
Maybe consider Stone edge zama for the birds like Zapdos & moltres
Reason of fp over hex?
is it just considerd better
but many thanks
and max speed pech over my full phys def b4?
helps a lot vs dnite, cause if u go against opposing tera fire dnite you get smacked
ogerpon w without hazard control?
i got that dog in me
u have insane defense bulk that hp investments helps it stay relatively bulky, and max speed is standard to be faster then tusk and dengo
was honestly considering synthesis on this
over woger?
yeah u can but u just let dozo and garg have free real estate
synthesis still helps?
https://pokepast.es/06d8e69c0b2b1029 also forgot to send this
https://pokepast.es/612d2bcdc4e28db9 how’s this
Oh lmao
They’re pretty much the same thing
ye
one quick thing is that I’ve oddly had trouble w pelipper what should I do abt that
play aggresive with pult and woger generallt against rain
those are the main mons u want healthy and active against em
alr got it anything else I should know or do
everything else should be fine
Alr thank you man
https://pokepast.es/6583b8d1692dc87b thoughts on this TR team? I find Ceruledge very annoying
I thought trick room just wasn't very good in general
It’s usable just not reliable compared to other archetypes
Trick room is a very niche archetype
basically you’re giving strong and slow wallbreakers like Ursa and Iron Hands the chance to basically outspeed the metagame

This looks overall fine, any issues ur facing ?
hey so let’s say i were to replace the scizor what do you suggest
dnite, tho if you do that then I feel ur better off zama > pult
Tried making a offense with sub kyu
ace for a removal since no boots
I’m ngl if u want removal I feel great tusk would be a lot better
I mean other stff aswell
no not really just seeing if i could make improvements
Great tusk > lando, and would do taunt woger > ace
Looks fine could argue fpunch dnite > spinner might be something to consider if Corv mu has been annoying
There is is no ting on ur team tho 
ok
Different one mb
https://pokepast.es/067be300cde1baef
im thinking of a different val set to use here. maybe sd
https://pokepast.es/6c99d0e93d0aad9e tried to make a very fat heatran team, opinions?
Have you tried mixed yet
if you wanna try something weird you could go scarf Bolt
and NP Ghold
Nah scarf bolt is practically sun exclusive
And also using a scarfer outsped by pult and zama is kinda wack
Fat teams still need to have some kind of speed control whether it be zamasenta dragapult dragonite etc
What should I replace with zam?
I’d prefer to keep mola bc wish passing onto lu/tran is super useful
You drop Prim for Zama

Ting has eq and body press?
Have you tried stone edge, really good against molt, zap, dragonite and other flying types besides corv and hawlucha
Well, hawlucha def was never that great, so maybe after you tera poison whirlwind him out and he comes back without his terrain seed boost you can still do decent dmg with stone edge.
I also really like Blimax's set of eq revenge rest sleeptalk
It's very funny
Ting lu is so goated man, i would kiss him on his dry, sandy mouth if i could.
i mean there r some crazy tr mons this gen
and pretty decent setters in general
ursaluna hands hoopa u etc. r all nuclear bombs that can take a lot of dmg
⁉️
Ngl this looks like dnite would be a lot better > kyurem also gives u an actual ground resist, and also could use an immediate breaker like 4 attacks zama, tho having zama and espeed dnite you dont need scarf rai as much and can opt it out for something else like with a steel probably bulky twave dengo
Nah he’s right
@stone sierra ur sets r not the greatest btw
really? ive never seen most of those b4 xd
maybe theres a reason behind them but a lot of em seem kinda redundant like primarina being a slow sub mon with no lefties seems odd to me
Torrent
Hands Gambit Ursa are my Top 3 ngl, specs Enam close 4th
idk if torrent is worth allat
we need melmetal
This Gen could barely contain gambit bruh 😭😭😭
Melmetal would be Ubers
melmetal is a respectable young man
he does not cheese
he does not set up and sweep.your team with no counterplay
melmetal simply clicks double iron bash and wins 1v1 vs every mon in the game. thats my boy
The acid armor in question:
A tera blast dnite set?
Bulky dnite
The amount of times I've been rapid spin into ice spinner by a tusk makes me really want to switch the dnite tera to ghost I'm ngl
Same with meow and ig dozo
feels like this is an exaggeration when you will have zama, dnite, gweez for meow, tho if ur super concerned for dozo then i would also just do mixed boots kyurem, corv > rai, and then id zama
just dont think dd kyurem fits here
Kk ty
Ill give it a go when im home
Could you tell me why it doesnt? I wanna just become a good builder and im sure u dont like perma ratin the same person
You have no ground resist
they click earthquake and you can’t do anything
Dnite also has more defensive utility than Kyurem and fits better on fatter structures like this
its better to ask questions rather then repeating the same mistakes and not learn, but main reason one u dont have ground resist, and secondly that kyurem set fits better on more offensive and aggressive structures
Whats bulky dnite btw?
Cuz i assume i need max speed
Dk i just go like 104 attack ada and then some health?
Roost dd espeed eq?
Dragonite (F) @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Multiscale
Tera Type: Normal
EVs: 248 HP / 104 Atk / 52 Def / 104 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Extreme Speed
- Earthquake
- Dragon Dance
- Roost
this is the set i be using, speed investment after a ddance gives u jump and speed tie with occasional chomps, rest is in bulk to better switch into things like woger and friends

🤔 no ground immune there’s a Mola
What’s play rough for ?
wellspring
Tera dragon Mola should do ok against Pivot Spring
I’m not sure about that treads set though
🤔
Me thinks adding a bird in here would make the most sense to help out, cause you gotta burn Tera vs woger majority of the time, but then you would also have to change a lot of mons, unless you do tickle
Yeah treads seems completely random here
Tusk would make a lot more sense here but then no steel is kinda balls
So great tusk > treads and Spdef Corv > garg
Hmm could work
You already have mola tusk gweez for most of the thing regular Corv would check
Could even do something crazy like bu taunt Corv maybe
🤔
Monster thx for the help. team feels rlly good. Still gettin used to wishpassin ive mostly been spammin glowking but it feels great!
No problemo 
https://pokepast.es/cd6d0b57b61b0128 okay but what do I do vs Lokix
The x button
It’s tr your bound to get farmed by strong prio users, then again the one Mon that would probably help with it is also banned
You cheese but also get cheesed yourself
Fair enough
Wait which Mon is that again
Magearna
You know what’s crazy if u make this ting Lu > chomp the team is actually solid
Ic
Uhh what’s the 6 again depending on what is should be fine
This looks very much like a sample team
yea seems to be one of them with nite over torn
and a couple slightly diff sets
anyway this is not that sample but
I am largely tilt losing so far but I think having manual hazard control other than hat would be useful
or making kyurem boots
would like to keep the first two everything else I'm chill
@jaunty granite I think you can honestly do great tusk > Lando and Moltres > hatt
Great tusk gives you a bit more consistent removal for kyurem
Moltres gives you a reliable answer into grounds since we are dropping Lando helps with stuff like Ghold and Val takes the pressure off crown and sam
word
Alternatively you can do Galarian Weezing > hatt for a very consistent defog I never tried it outside of balance though so idk how it would perform here
I was considering tusk at one point but thought it might overlap w zama too much
for weaknesses at least
Ye that’s totally fair you can do alternative speed control options if anything
Darkrai would be good me thinks
I do like the phazing potential of roar too but I could go roar molt instead
like scarf darkrai?
Yuh
bet
uhhh what does scarf darkrai run as last
pulse sludge and trick
are what I have now
focus or beam I imagine?
Darkrai @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Bad Dreams
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Tera Type: Poison
Timid Nature
- Dark Pulse
- Sludge Bomb
- Ice Beam
- Trick
This
Oh you can do tera grass on molt
For emergency pon stuff
oh forgot to change tera on darkrai
maybe ghost since I have literally one fighting resist
or ig poison gives that too
also @empty verge helm or boots on tusk?
Def boots

This is an early dlc 2 team if I’ve seen one
It's missing my goat terapagos, unban it rfn !!
Oh btw I'd be careful with this since moltres is probably your best dragonite answer and your best zamazenta answer so preserving it is essential
I do think wisp over either roar or u turn is good asw just in case
Most likely over u turn
