I'm not sure who helped me polish out this sun team but i'm 1790-ish after laddering with it for a bit (since 1650 iirc). https://pokepast.es/db53eb5db877947b
Just wanted to say thanks. (I'm not 100% on the life orb raging bolt but so far it's working)

elder knoll
#

Since Bolt is your main breaker you don’t need specs on Wake

#

You can go for a wise glasses set which is better at cleaning

#

You could then transfer Ceru over to a Venu so you then have a special spam type deal

#

oh and on sun you can go for weather ball Bolt you can even drop CM since you have so much raw power. oh and Tera fire bolt with weather ball hits stupidly hard.

languid tendon
elder knoll
#

It’s been used in tour before

languid tendon
#

also if he's dropping cm on bolt specs wake is better

languid tendon
#

with tera fire tusk i'd use temper flare over ice spinner? or sr

#

but i'd change tusk to another tera like poison

elder knoll
#

also LO weather ball Tera fire Bolt doesn’t need additional breaking power

#

Minor chip on Blissey with rocks down

#

secures a kill on it

#

252+ SpA Life Orb Protosynthesis Tera Fire Raging Bolt Weather Ball (100 BP Fire) vs. 4 HP / 252+ SpD Blissey in Sun: 277-328 (42.4 - 50.3%) -- 35.9% chance to 2HKO after Stealth Rock and Leftovers recovery

#

252+ SpA Life Orb Protosynthesis Tera Fire Raging Bolt Weather Ball (100 BP Fire) vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Vessel of Ruin Ting-Lu in Sun: 298-351 (57.9 - 68.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Stealth Rock and Leftovers recovery

#

Bolts raw breaking power is enough to bypass most spdef guys woop

#

Cause Tera water just gets you smacked by t-bolt

languid tendon
#

bro when av glowking

#

bolt prefers to use cm almost every time when its not specs/scarf

#

and respectfully to bolt IT does need additional breaking power

#

its best on HO for a reason

#

and is venu not a breaker ? if it does not need more breakers then why would u suggest venu

#

contradicting your self is bad when rating

#

and special spam is not the best when tusk is your phys atker

#

tusk being the removal and phys atker in special spam is terrible imo

hot dome
#

???

#

bro what are you talking about lmao

languid tendon
#

continue to read .

hot dome
#

he's saying that lo tera fire bolt hits enough thresholds on its own that it doesn't need specs

nocturne sable
hot dome
#

special spam is fine? tusk has a good mu into all special walls anyways

#

sun teams usually run tusk for this reason?

languid tendon
hot dome
#

...which this team is?

hot dome
#

yes, and if you read a little further

languid tendon
#

suggesting venu for breaking power before then saying it does not need more breaking power

nocturne sable
#

Both walking wake and raging bolt provide the necessary breaking power

hot dome
#

venu isn't breaking power venu ius a cleaner

languid tendon
#

i was telling them wake should keep specs and not use wise glasses . then so them saying no cm bolt with wise glasses wake was good

hot dome
#

its viable, yeah

languid tendon
#

i said specs wake if no cm bolt.

hot dome
#

not a team i would personally use, but its certainly fine

hot dome
#

and thus wise glasses is better so you have freedom of move to punish switchins

elder knoll
#

yep

hot dome
#

and then pair it with venu to build a special spam core that can overwhelm most spdef cores

#

and kill shit

#

this rate is fine lol

elder knoll
#

exactly 😭

languid tendon
#

eh

#

i just dissagree with some of it but yea its fine

#

i dont like no cm bolt but ive seen it put to good work

nocturne sable
#

Bolt already has strong fire power without set up. especially under sun with proto spatk boost

languid tendon
#

wise glasses wake is another one i dont see being the best set but then again ive never seen it at use besides once where it did not shine

hot dome
#

these are certainly not orthodox sets

languid tendon
#

a unorthodox set is a wake with cb

hot dome
#

but pink is just suggesting some alt changes, since the person didn't come for a team rate anyways

languid tendon
#

i suggested for a few move changes on tailes and ceru, tusk tera

#

but yea i dont see glasses wake shining with tera fire bolt personally but its fine

nocturne sable
#

Raging bolt is strong enough to muscle through most checks without set up and wise glasses wakes, although losses a little power without specs, can still pick up important KOs on the likes of Ghold, gambit etc while not being choice locked

#

Tera fire bolt allows it to muscle past treads so it should be fine

languid tendon
#

does no investment treads not do like 50 to 252 speed bolt ?

#

50-60

#

just asking

nocturne sable
#

0 Atk Iron Treads Earthquake vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Raging Bolt: 254-302 (64.9 - 77.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Possible damage amounts: (254, 258, 260, 264, 266, 270, 272, 276, 278, 282, 284, 288, 290, 294, 296, 302)

#

Ideally you would Tera blast fire on the switch

languid tendon
#

true

nocturne sable
#

Wait I forgot weather ball is a move 😭😭😭😭

#

It can run that too

#

And just hit treads on the switch

languid tendon
#

i just assumed you were talking abt weather ball its fine

https://pokepast.es/0c63ffdd09cdfdad

Gonna have an SVOU match with Fangame on cart (insert TBD date here)

No different rules, no availability issues, straight up 100% raw SVOU on cart

Fangame if you look at this I will jump you (jk but I trust you not to)

hot dome
#

i see you have hands

#

don't

#

seriously though hands is just so painfully mid outside of teams built specifically aorund it

bright dock
#

Lmao noted

hot dome
#

if this is some sort of shiest cteam then ig but otherwise dont bother

bright dock
#

Nop

#

Don't know his paste yet either

hot dome
#

your kyurem resist seems to be gambit and then hopes and prayers

#

neither of which are particularly viable

bright dock
#

So change hands for a more solid kyu check?

hot dome
#

probably, i would pivot to a bulkier offense imo

#

(especially since lets be real here fangame is 99% loading a kyurem team)

bright dock
#

Fair point

hot dome
#

you can either go full hyper offense or bulky offense here, i just don't like the weird mix you've got right now

#

also you have nothing to deal with zama besides pult which will be forced to handle the dragons as well which isn't very good

bright dock
#

Been a while since I built this tier and by that I mean 6+ months

#

So yea this is prob flawed

#

(It is)

#

Im tempted to go BO then

bright dock
#

Because lets be real its just more fun to play and face both

#

What'd I change here then? (Or if you slide me a team that works too)

stone sierra
low phoenix
stone sierra
low phoenix
#

can try a bulky grassy seed gholdengo for increased longetivity vs mons like zama

#

or even pecharunt

#

nothing else

stone sierra
#

Nice

stone sierra
low phoenix
#

torn zama darkrai are fine

#

actually

#

you seem weak vs rai

#

a kingambit would be nice

nocturne sable
#

Im not sure about rilla here personally, I feel like it’s droppable but that’s just me

low phoenix
#

prob over torn since you already have rai as a np breaker

nocturne sable
low phoenix
#

if youre building around gt its ok

#

oh

stone sierra
low phoenix
#

ok

#

drop rilla then

stone sierra
#

Kk

low phoenix
#

add ting lu

#

still make gholdengo bulky or change to pech

stone sierra
#

Recover focus blast ghold?

#

Im guessing I don’t want 3 nasty plot mons

low phoenix
#

Thunder wave hex Ghold seems fine

stone sierra
#

Also what’s the steel beam earth power treads set?

low phoenix
#

I think Pech is the better option tho for a more robust zama check + no steel overlap with treads

#

Just max spA speed with ep steel beam rapid spin rocks

stone sierra
magic dome
#

you have no water resist

#

prim/wake/keld look incredible against your team

low phoenix
#

change darkrai to wogerpon then

stone sierra
#

Ye the rilla was there as a phys breaker+soft pon check

#

Ig pon is just objectively better at that

low phoenix
#

pech is your new wog check

stone sierra
#

4 attacks or sd?

low phoenix
#

any set works tbh

stone sierra
#

Ok max spef leech seed it is

low phoenix
#

no

stone sierra
low phoenix
#

thats not what i meant

stone sierra
#

I’ll go sd play rough

low phoenix
#

yea

#

u can test with different wogerpon sets

magic dome
#

it helps you remove vs spikes gliscor since you cant rly do that rn

low phoenix
#

^that too

stone sierra
#

Ty for the reminder

magic dome
#

nws

loud pagoda
wooden linden
#

Smth like that yeah

#

Also go jolly on gambit here

languid tendon
#

jolly gambit ?

#

idk

wooden linden
#

If youre using low kick you want to minimize the chance of potential other low kick gambit

limber spear
wooden linden
#

Bc honestly you use low kick just for gambit

limber spear
#

cuz it’s using low sweep or smth

languid tendon
#

oh well yea low kick gambit

#

i would not use low kick gambit tbh

limber spear
#

the zama set seems strange

languid tendon
#

thats base zama set

wooden linden
#

Nah the zama set is fine

limber spear
#

gambit and zama loses to valiant

wooden linden
#

I would say using roar zama requires more speed

languid tendon
#

glowking and scarf rai

wooden linden
#

Glowking should be fine for val here anyways

limber spear
#

right

#

i just don’t like teams weak to valiant

#

she’s everywhere

wooden linden
#

Its not too weak here

loud pagoda
#

uhh what should i do here then

languid tendon
#

its not weak here ?

wooden linden
#

Worse case scenario you revenge kill with rai or dnite

limber spear
#

not this

#

there was a team which the valiant check was a pech

#

a speed pech

#

anyways i js don’t val

languid tendon
#

speed pech is worse then bold pech gotta be honest

wooden linden
#

Theyre both fine sets

#

You use bold specifically for stuff like wellspring

languid tendon
#

yes just bold pech is better overall imo

#

speed is to parting tusk

wooden linden
#

Speedy is just palatable for multiple stuff

#

Outspeeding bolt and dnite is pretty nice

languid tendon
#

yea

loud pagoda
#

so its a good team?

limber spear
#

overall yeah

#

although there isn’t a “great” team as it’s subjective

loud pagoda
#

wym?

stone sierra
limber spear
#

i was yapping ignore pls

languid tendon
#

rather have fairy or flying honestly

limber spear
#

ground resist

#

not weak to ice

#

like ice and ground moves r getting a lot of usage

languid tendon
#

also i'd rather have bold on prima

#

idk why u ran modest when bulky cm is bold

limber spear
#

oh right

#

miss click

#

thanks

languid tendon
#

no removal too

#

with that bolt set and tera think you should use hdb

#

also tera dark 252 spatk ival ?

#

might aswell just run tera fairy

limber spear
limber spear
limber spear
languid tendon
#

heavy duty boots

languid tendon
limber spear
#

yeah

#

but like the hazard removers there

#

there is the donphan stuff

#

and a weezing

languid tendon
#

donphan ???

#

do NOT use donphan

limber spear
#

tusk and tread

#

defog works ig

#

tbh i might need to scrap this

languid tendon
#

gliscor lost defog

#

its repairable

limber spear
#

i need 3 fairy kb a team

#

on

languid tendon
#

kb ?

limber spear
#

cuz it seems fun

#

on

#

somehow i can’t type

languid tendon
#

hold on

limber spear
#

i want hatt and prim

#

val is meh

#

i don’t like her

languid tendon
#

okay

#

not the best because im reading a book but i see that team being better

limber spear
#

oh thank you

languid tendon
#

oh yea make zor tech

#

you can change hatt speed to 24 if you want its just to outspeed pex and slow corv

stone sierra
#

jayk whats your elo? just curious

languid tendon
#

various accs highest rn is sadly 1659

limber spear
#

oh…

limber spear
stone sierra
#

yes

languid tendon
#

may i ask whats yours ting lucifer fan

stone sierra
#

im hardstuck low ladder

#

why i dont give advice

limber spear
#

try stall

#

it’s easy to handle

#

that’s what bought me to 1700s

#

but the matches r tougher higher but surely it works on lower ladder

stone sierra
#

dislike playing it
i ask for elo bc i wanna make sure i dont get advice from bad players

#

not saying you two are bad

#

just making sure

languid tendon
#

ngl some gems are not high ladder like wildfiree

#

hes not over 1500 in anything last i checked but he gives pretty good advice

#

its his power of being unc

stone sierra
#

yes hes also a comp helper

limber spear
#

i like stuff that annoy people

#

like para spam

#

stall

#

i sound insane aren’t i

languid tendon
#

para spam stall ?

#

para spam stall is crazy

limber spear
#

para slam , stall

#

mb

loud pagoda
limber spear
#

seems pretty weak to g weezing

#

which is the best hazard remover for dealing with h stack

loud pagoda
#

what do you recommend?

#

i thought tera fire scizor was good enough for it

#

or ep lando

limber spear
#

there was no scizor?

#

scizor works

#

it’s like u don’t want weezing to come out

#

cuz then no way to prevent defog

#

so u need to pressure it consistently

#

but

#

it works

loud pagoda
#

just to try

limber spear
#

oh

#

it’s stab and walled by weez

loud pagoda
hot dome
#

there's a lot more issues than just its gweezing mu (which honestly isn't that bad and idk why you highlighted it feesh)

loud pagoda
hot dome
#

ill get to this in the morning (its 3 am right now and i want to sleep) ping me to remind me

limber spear
#

the best way is just to throw it into games

#

and see what u die to

#

don’t ask how i got 12 version of my stall

loud pagoda
limber spear
#

do u always put h sam as lead

#

or nah

#

cuz h sam has a lot of counters in the tier with fighting and fairy types and some u turn and volt switch

loud pagoda
#

I try to as much as I can

limber spear
#

and no gliscor bulk

#

but i didn’t play a lot of hazard stack tho

#

why do i never see a person posting stall teams 😭

low phoenix
#

Prob because stall teams tend to have very similar cores

#

And the more “wack” stall teams tend to be made by experienced players who know what they’re doing

#

Also I have no clue what that thundurus is doing on your team

limber spear
#

stall break ? but he doesn’t really need one

low phoenix
#

You can slap on knock off to force blisseys item out but just use darkrai at this point

limber spear
#

perhaps it gets bolt beam and this should break stall cores

#

nvm av pex fucks this

low phoenix
#

Again blissey walls you completely

limber spear
#

it can chip blissey with hazard ig

#

and clean up late game if it has one

low phoenix
#

Darkrai

limber spear
#

maybe they like thunderus

#

although they seem to like dialga more

low phoenix
#

Huh

#

This is ou not Ubers

limber spear
#

like their pfp is dialga

#

anways

#

where can i get a av blissey team

low phoenix
#

Av blissey is unviable

limber spear
#

no cm

#

but

low phoenix
#

Like even worse than something like Gallade

limber spear
#

alo supports

#

ok bad idea

#

av dondozo ogerooh

#

avalanche for gliscor. press for gambit

#

seems so nice

stone sierra
#

if you want av stall

#

try out pinkstorks av hoopa stall

low phoenix
#

Semi stall*

limber spear
#

that is fun

low phoenix
#

I recommend only trying av dozo in very low ladder

limber spear
low phoenix
#

Like to goob some wins with ppl who don’t know what they’re doing anyways

limber spear
#

i can use my alt

#

1400 works

stone sierra
# limber spear that is fun
languid tendon
languid tendon
limber spear
#

just use tusk over something

limber spear
#

but yeah maybe weez isn’t common

languid tendon
#

gweez is ou

limber spear
#

yes

languid tendon
#

its the best remover in the game

limber spear
#

one trick pony with a will o

#

but can’t stop it

languid tendon
#

its not a one trick pony .?

#

strong fairy move defogs on almost anything and can willo gambit and friends ?

limber spear
stone sierra
#

Gweeze just has a niche

#

And needs a team built around it

limber spear
#

in terms of removing abilities it is

stone sierra
#

It’s a very good niche

limber spear
#

tusk does more

stone sierra
#

But you can’t just slap it on a team

stone sierra
limber spear
#

u barely see weezing out of stall

languid tendon
#

tusk gets rocks spins and breaks some spdef cores

languid tendon
#

gweez is on alot of BO teams ?

#

gweez is on a good amount of HO too

stone sierra
#

Please stop talking

languid tendon
#

yall dont know ball .

#

in terms of removal gweez is the best

#

only removal

limber spear
#

insane arguement

#

let’s stop

stone sierra
#

A: #comp-general
b:you’re objectively wrong

#

Anyone got a team to post so the EU eaters have smth to do or?

languid tendon
#

sure

#

not my team but made a few slight changes to it

#

it was built around garg

echo rampart
#

Weezing is used outside of stall yeah

#

idk wtf HO you're talking about but

#

he's a fine balance mon

languid tendon
#

and removal

echo rampart
#

okay this isn't the place for discussion like this but that is like by definition not an HO then

wooden linden
#

bump pleasecheempao

#

tusk and glowking have been working well here but i could try a little more pivoting

nocturne sable
#

The only Mon that’s popping in my head is Gliscor in this case but idk

wooden linden
#

I could opt for flip turn over sacred sword to pivot

#

Rai and gambit are a little scarier but it should be fine

limber spear
#

bad team no fezand

#

add it back

wooden linden
#

Nah fezan didnt really work tbh

limber spear
#

moral support

wooden linden
limber spear
#

it’s cute(?

#

it’s the best out of the loyal 3

#

or royal 3

wooden linden
#

Dogi is chill

#

Slightly more splashable

limber spear
#

it’s great against valiant

#

unless psychic or psyshock

#

dori the best

#

it’s top 3 somewhere

nocturne sable
#

Me thinks tusk and volc can still aid in gambit mu

#

And you can still pivot off rain with flip turn Hamurott

median wigeon
#

hmm

#

that's true

elder knoll
#

Fairy Garg seems better than water here

median wigeon
#

probably yeah

trail whale
#

I feel like the team is trying to weirdly combine offense and defense and not compressing it in the right slots

median wigeon
#

actually i should've put knock on tusk

#

and probably some other tera than poison

limber spear
median wigeon
#

rocks

limber spear
#

oh

median wigeon
#

i have them on garg

limber spear
#

yeah maybe

#

tera blast fire/ground /electirc

#

specs r mid

elder knoll
trail whale
median wigeon
#

sub is nasty against me yeah

limber spear
#

i can guess it’s like garg is strange defensive choice

#

like the defensive picks r doing offense while u need your offense mon to play important defensive roles

#

i guess

elder knoll
#

Fairy Garg + Pon is a popular core

gritty lake
limber spear

i was thinking ghost resist + annoying mola was decent here :/

mola looks nice i like it

dropping garg is probably a good idea

anyways i play stall so i am out

nvm

#

the water

median wigeon
#

i am trying to hstack

gritty lake
limber spear
#

let h stack pro guide u if there even is one

#

is there a stall hazard stack

#

is it even a thing

#

i would love to have one

hot dome
#

…that’s how almost all stalls work this gen?

gritty lake
hot dome
#

Well, that explains a lot

alpine hornet
low phoenix
#

spikeless stall exists but they always have some other way to make hard progress like a regenerator mon or bulky breaker like gliscor/hydrapple

languid tendon
#

my advice is dont play stall it ruins peoples day who dont have good mu's into stall this gen (no one)

#

stall got worse this gen ngl

loud pagoda
hot dome
# loud pagoda ?

you seem to be going for some kinda bo/offense style team, but you lack a lot of breaking power + rely on subpar picks like Thundy T as your knocker

loud pagoda
#

What should I do then?

hot dome
#

drop thundy t, drop scarf ghold, drop scizor
run utility darkrai with knock, Pecharunt for a fairy + wellspring check

add one more mon

Listen
If you steal teams no one will gaf
Just don’t try and pass it off as your own

#

Honestly stealing someone’s team is a complement to them

Swear I didn't know but dang that's crazy

...exact same 6 with an incredibly rare thundy t mixed set

loud pagoda
#

Dude

#

I don't nkno

low phoenix
#

if you truly didnt know

#

the advice remains the same

#

just use that team

loud pagoda
#

Shit I might as well

low phoenix
#

like whats the point in giving advice

loud pagoda
#

Actually I'll just watch the vid

low phoenix
#

^

stone sierra
#

He mentioned in the description that it wasn’t really tested

elder knoll
stone sierra
#

It’s an example of a stall breaking team

#

So fayas advice could still be applicable

low phoenix
#

i mentioned yesterday that darkrai is a more reliable sp.attacker + knocker

#

because its faster and actually threatens stuff instead of being blocked by lu

elder knoll
#

Knock Thundy - T is trying to do the same thing as knock Wake

I just thought boltveam knock off would be good dawg

low phoenix

thundy t is a niche mon in itself

hot dome
#

drop it

#

we've given the rate

#

its over

loud pagoda
#

Is gambit a good lats pokemon

low phoenix
#

its generally superceded by raging bolt as an offensive electric type and darkrai as a nasty plot breaker

loud pagoda
#

Ig I'll use raging bolt instead then

low phoenix
#

sample teams are better

#

if you struggle to teambuild

#

think carefully aboout what role x mon does in your team and how it syngerizes together with the other mons in your team

echo rampart
#

no ghost resist is painful

#

u have a lot of flexible slots but I'd prob change enam to boost ival and make pult a wisp darkrai

limber spear
#

thinnking of replacing draga with

echo rampart
#

can do gambit > sciz too

limber spear
#

gambit

#

yeah right

#

i have t use scizor before just wanna give it a try

#

i just don’t like valiant overall

#

i detest that robot

#

not using that thing ever again

#

so yeah maybe willo darkrai

#

but then do i use back scizor cuz i have ghost resist

magic dome
#

i can see late game gambit being a big issue for this team, especially bc tusk is tasked with both setting and removing on this team

#

no ghost resist is definitely an issue too

#

i like the idea of a gambit swap in over scizor

limber spear
#

will it be better to use darkrai

#

bug and fighting is restarted by fairy and gloking

#

And ice beam for gliscor

magic dome
#

sorry i dont really understand what you mean

#

do you want to replace scizor with darkrai?

limber spear
#

uh replacing dragapult

#

it was about vague mb

#

but i lose a check to waterpon

magic dome
#

yeah, your team would have no way of checking waterpon at that point

#

i think the cleanest solution would be going gambit over sciz here, but i dont think this team is too bad as is if you just wanted to ladder

limber spear
#

does waterpon run knock off commonly

magic dome
#

yes pretty commonly

limber spear
#

i planning to put some ev into defense on dragapult

magic dome
#

on both sd and turn sets

limber spear
#

cuz i need to to be chipped early on

#

or tera grass on gloking

eager plaza
#

I made an Ambipom offense/bo(idk if bo)

(With ogerp-w+molt)
https://pokepast.es/34576c7cd652f3ab

(With scizor+gking)
https://pokepast.es/d7c4747f82430aba

I made ambipom fast, strong pivot with one shot capabilities, I chose beat-up over knock off since beat up can deal so much damage, even one shot some mons with tera dark. It uses scarf+adamant so it can outspeed dragapult, but it can also use band+jolly so it can one shot kill more pokemon, specifically ogerpon since ambipom outspeeds it, or band+adamant so it can kill base 100 speed or lower pokemon like kyurem, kanto ninetails etcetc... In my opinion, ambipom has fast, offensive pivot potential

echo rampart
#

I'm inclined to say the Moltres one is better just for the sake of Beat Up BP

#

but it's hard to give an honest rate without trying it myself

#

although the Moltres version lacks a good special wall, something like Raging Bolt is super problematic

eager plaza
#

I forgot abt raging bolt lol, should slow, spdef lando-T/zapdos work?

echo rampart
#

Landorus is probably best to use anyway for beat up

#

because its attack is higher

gritty lake
#

The first one is also weak to kyurem

#

Is there really no better move than beat up on ambipom

echo rampart
#

I'm assuming it's just a thought experiment

#

only reason I'm entertaining it lol

eager plaza
eager plaza
gritty lake
#

Also this is just me but I feel like the only reason to use ambipom is fake out ngl

gritty lake
eager plaza
#

oh

echo rampart
#

can do like scizor + lando

limber spear
#

i feel like knock off is still better

#

u would click stab most of the time

#

instead of beat up unless it’s se

eager plaza
#

should I run boots, knock off/fake out instead?

I don't think you need Moltres either

u don’t out speed val after scarf anyways

since Scizor checks Kyurem anyway

regarding kyurem is it dd or specs

it checks Kyurem

have you tried tera dragon on bolt

rlly helps in ting lu MU

Worth trying

just asking

why is u turn over spikes on gliscor

like whaf match up does it escape from

echo rampart
#

there's a samurott

clever berry
limber spear

oh

#

right i blind 😭

trail whale
#

Hamurott is providing spikes, you'll appreciate any pivot to get Bolt in safely

limber spear
#

mb

echo rampart

u-turn just gets in raging bolt to click buttons

limber spear
#

i didn’t saw the picture of h sam

clever berry
echo rampart
#

scarf flip turn is cool

clever berry
echo rampart
#

scarf on samu makes me worried about ur ghold matchup but depending on the set ghold is scary vs any team lmao

#

plot pecharunt is also annoying though

clever berry
#

Btw, Specs Modest Kyurem is also doable over Bolt here

trail whale
#

I want to say team looks fine, demands a pretty aggressive playstyle imo since main counterplay to stuff is "kill them before they get to do anything"

clever berry
#

Just trades hazard issues with better speed tier and more spammable STAB

echo rampart
#

bolt is more flexible in the builder but kyurem is probably better for the bulky ghosts

#

could do like

#

cinderace > gliscor and specs kyurem

clever berry
#

Kyurem needs less predicts

#

But Bolt has better defensive profile

#

And priority

trail whale
clever berry
#

Bolt's Dracos are steriods

limber spear
#

a very farfetched question but what if it’s ice punch moon blast valiant

clever berry
#

OHKOes Gliscor

clever berry
echo rampart
#

tbf Sucker Punch is usually good enough

#

especially if u go with cinder > glisc

trail whale
#

You do have Specs Tclap Bolt in a worst case scenario
And Sucker when you go AV

clever berry
#

I prefer AV > Scarf on H-Samu usually though

#

I don't like it choice locked as much as it switching into Gholdengo

echo rampart
limber spear
#

does h sam have bulk

echo rampart
#

i feel like i just created a pre-existing team

limber spear
#

i never preserve it for late game

echo rampart
#

this isn't the place for questions or theorymonning

limber spear
#

oh right

echo rampart
#

whats that spread do

limber spear
#

i need to make a enam hit water pon

#

i lack a good waterpon answer

#

besides dnite

#

it’s jsut some random numbers if u r wondering

#

if i am not wrong it takes 2 knock off

#

from oger

echo rampart
#

wow '-'

#

u could try hydrapple somewhere he's a good check

#

until play rough.

limber spear
#

smart

#

but i like pult

#

with hex

#

like it’s the design choice

#

this isn’t too off topic right?

echo rampart
#

u posted a team :P

limber spear
#

what hydrapple would work here

echo rampart
#

just the phys def plot sets

limber spear
#

i don’t rlly want a plot

trail whale
#

I think you should just do DDnite on this
Or even making the Pult Specs

Boots Pult doesn't seem to fit the pace of the team

limber spear
#

prima is enough i can’t manage that much set up

echo rampart
#

fair, but hydra p much only uses plot

limber spear
#

cuz the original team was a tripple fairy by someone else

clever berry
#

No wallbreaker

limber spear
#

yeah the double fairy is what i want only here

#

with prima

clever berry
limber spear
#

yeah ig

#

i trying to make a prima bo

#

with waterpon

#

cuz it seems to be a very nice thing

trail whale
#

Being completely honest I don't think CM Prim is very good on BO

tacit bluff
#

its fine if paired with strong speed control

#

or anti offence mons

limber spear
#

i saw the ho set on smogon page

#

and i don’t rlly like it

#

sometimes it provide a very great win con but only sometimes

trail whale
#

It feels quite underwhelming as a wincon and would benefit from having other wincons alongside it, smth Offense can provide really well

limber spear
#

so it’s a ho only mon?

trail whale
#

Ho/Offense* mon imo

limber spear
#

what 😭

#

i rlly like bulky trans

#

teams

#

auto correct do smth right pls

clever berry
#

Yeah, Specs Valiant helps more than Prim on your team

#

Or alternatively
Specs Enam and Booster Valiant

limber spear
#

the point is that i want to play with mobs i like

#

i failed thrice

#

clodsire scream tail and quagsire

clever berry
#

Prime Pult is the best team for CM Prim i think

limber spear
#

that’s what really drives me to make a team with the things i like

#

bht it doesn’t work yk

clever berry
#

Else AV Prim fits BO better

limber spear
#

av is fine

#

i just wanna just prima

#

idm sets

clever berry
limber spear
#

but i can’t do it i suck

clever berry
#

Scream Tail I doubt
Hatterene does almost everything bulky better
Valiant does Fast Encore better

tacit bluff
#

scream tail is like

#

ass

#

unfort

#

its ranked so it has a niche but I don't remember what said niche is

trail whale
clever berry
#

Meh

#

Except Wish, Valiant does that so much better

#

Wish is weird on a Booster set as well

#

Just use Alomomola for Wish

limber spear
clever berry
limber spear
#

it’s not scream tail

clever berry
#

Actually lets talk about this in #comp-general-2

limber spear

right

trail whale

am i allowed to yap here

clever berry

I think ace is fine

trail whale
#

Taunt Lando + Ace surely does it

clever berry
#

Nvm

trail whale
#

Esp since there isn't like a Kyurem that really hates hazards

#

idk how I feel about that darkrai set I usually just prefer boots but ig with g terrain recovery and lefties stacking its fine

#

two attacks is a choice tho

trail whale
#

Da wisper

#

Val could be prob add like

#

Psyshock over encore

#

Cuz tbh stall is a bit scary to fight

#

Also prob smth for gliscor

Over Sedge

#

Cuz other Zama kinda dead

limber spear

Well

#

Tbh thats not a bad idea

uh i switched the set

#

it’s tera water and stone edge now

#

i didn’t update it sorry

#

how do i fix the freeze try problem

#

do i add a steel type

#

or fire type

stable gale
#

i think remove Landorus-Therian

limber spear
#

but i need a speed control and a flying type

#

only lando fits that

stable gale
#

ur team is weak to zama

#

remove landorus for Dragapult

limber spear
#

i want a flying type tho

#

woger is bad for ground resist

#

i can just tera prima for freeze dry cases then ig

#

there is not much counterplay

#

av crown works but i like prima

stable gale
#

1st which kind of play style u want to build

limber spear
#

more defensive stuff

#

fat teams

nocturne sable
limber spear

i previously play stall but wanted some dinner teams

dinner

more fun

fun is subjective'

#

i didn't get is what play style you are looking for

limber spear
#

bulky offense ig

#

even semi stall works but i never had a lot of experience with it

stable gale
#

any sample team caught ur eye ?

limber spear
#

nope

#

i looked through all of them

#

i waiting for a new shift ig

#

the main one i want to use is prima

#

and woger

stable gale
limber spear
#

used that before

#

i failed

stable gale

kk what didn't u like in this team

limber spear
#

the team was slow

try ho

limber spear

hopefully

What is going on here gmcat

limber spear

well the sad thing is that

#

i want to use mons i want to use

#

i am kinda satisfied with my elo (therefore i dont rlly mind strong or weak teams)

#

just decent is fine

#

do i tell the story again? like i used scream tail , clodsire stall , quagsire stall and all ended up badly

stable gale
#

then try out ur original team

limber spear
#

the modified version of clodsire stall was the main one i used to climb

#

tbh what would be come requirements for a bulky offense team

#

i can just follow it and make my own one ig that would work better

#

and ask for better finishing touches

#

nonetheless i gotta sleep ping me so i will remember that thing tmr

thanks

Sorry,I was not good enough

If you are trying to build a fat bulky offense team then this is not it.

Scarf Lando doesn’t fit here, and if you wanted a flying type on a BO team you would opt for mons like Gliscor, Moltres, Dnite, Zapdos, etc.

Frankly, this team has zero breaking power and just looks like an awkward mash of defensive Pokémon mixed together

I would make prim sub calm mind if you want to go the BO route and build around prima.

I would also make iron treads>>>great tusk for a better MU into raging bolt

For a flying type I would add moltres here personally as it would help with the kingambit match up and give is Tera grass to help with Waterpon.

Waterpon here is fine as it helps with opposing water MUs. 4 attacks or utility like spikes, synthesis, etc can work here

For the last two slots I would add Zamazenta and slowking galar as glowking aids with the specs kyurem match up as well as assist vs water types and fairy’s and zama can act as speed control and cover vs Waterpon and DD Kyurem.

Glowking I would just make regular boots pivot and zama can be either Id or boots imo

#

If you want to optimize roll compressions for rocks, removal, etc Pokémon like garganagl and Tinkaton can also be considered for the rock roll and both can aid in kyurem MU

hot dome
#

Dropping treads means you get 6-0ed by bolt, I would not

nocturne sable
#

?

random vault
#

The msg says to add tusk

#

I mean treass

#

Over tusk

#

Not drop it

#

But I see how it reads that way

hot dome
#

Ic

nocturne sable
#

Yea I think the >>> confuses ppl a little

#

Prob should clarify a bit more

wooden linden
#

@nocturne sable could you check it over real quick

nocturne sable
wooden linden
#

you could add the prim somewhere

#

problem is that you either are pretty slow or cant handle smth like cinderace

nocturne sable
wooden linden
#

gliscor should be fine enough

#

spinner + cudgel can chunk it pretty well

#

plus ice fang is pretty weak

nocturne sable

Hmm fair enough

#

bruh

low phoenix

just say it

#

so i can see what to choose from

hot dome

gking, crown, offensively scizor, tink

magic dome
low phoenix
#

ive been playing showdown for over a year

#

and just now i found out this feature exists

magic dome
#

skymin made it a few months ago dw

low phoenix
#

ok what about now

magic dome
#

this looks better, but gliscor seems like a pretty big threat ngl

#

torn can beat gliscor but you'll have to scout for toxic and tera steel to get the kill

#

i also personally prefer boots > av samu, especially on boots spam

#

the bulk you gain from av is offset by the chip you take from hazards, especially in longer games which this team will trend towards

low phoenix
#

i made this team in 5 minutes while having family guy funny moments playing in the background

#

but on a serious note

#

i can prob try experimenting with keldeo tera steel latios/hydriegon rotom wash

#

for the scor matchup

#

darkrai wogerpon corv tusk the traditional scor checks i dont think i can fit

#

my main goal with this team is to have a positive matchup against traditional hazadrd removal like hatterene tusk treads etc

#

but yea upon thinking about my team more seriously i agree

Prob not ground weakness goes brazy

what are the evs for?

Anyways I'll try

on wogerpon

a wogerpon semi stall surely sounds interesting

oh wait i forgot to invest in attack

Still 4a?

i think you should slot in stealth rock too

so spikes oger?

you can probably try that

u turn over iron defense

yeah

iron defense isnt necessary on bb corv

That's overkill
