Oh
just add recover over fblast
Neat
Kk
I’m glad it didn’t take me multiple days to make a shitty team lol
How does it take multiple days to build a team
Every time i struggle with making a team I think “fuck it what if I just add ting lu” and it works out
I am very interested in reading a book rn
I team build when I want to take a minor break
So I’ve been making that team over the course of a couple days
guys can someone tell me how good is this team and what changes i have to make?https://pokepast.es/8c94ecb86df34d46
New [Gen 9] OU RMT @north nimbus, @tacit bluff, @alpine hornet, @low phoenix, @empty verge, @wooden linden, @echo rampart, @magic dome, @trail whale. I won't notify you again for at least 6 hours.
anyone ?
would say lack of dd kyurem counter
Kyurem isnt that bad hatt can check it a little bit
also kind of slow and e speed on dnite would be better
dice sets can break i think
with sub tera or tb
add a scarf user i think
317 max speed for a team is slow
i replaced dnite with darkrsi
i am new to the game so i didn't understand this and whats above it
i think i need two fairy moves instead of 2 psychic moves
so its like with a tera from kyurem it can break hatt or even substitute as a move it can also break hatt
like hatt isn’t a save check overall(with tera)
okay i think i got it
most raters r asleep i think u r better off waiting for them or quaxly which is pretty good too

ngl looks solid but i must ask what are molt evs for and why tera fairy
if it cant be rated/suggested may i know any other fast grass types that are able to perform better than ogerpon
on whose
a better grass type is ogerpon wellspring
and meow
on this team i'd use nasty plot gholdengo
tera grass molt
scarf samu
wellspring over ms rubl
and make molt phys def
i can do in depth later but thats just the base of what i see of making it better
wellspring is better on THAT team over meow because it'd be dark spam
and your already weak enough to fairy
also i'd change roar molt to willo wisp
Nah I disagree with changing roar molt I thinks it’s very important to phase out threatening sweepers like kyurem, Dnite etc
true true but the same can be done with willo wisp to an point
roar is good sometimes yea
but willo is more useful 60% of the time
doesn’t willo do the job
Ithese mons can potentially Tera fire so willo isn’t exactly reliable on its own most of the time
If I were to add will o I would probably drop U-turn
its not always about tera
not a common set to say the least
tbh knock off might better than low kick there
moltres and ting can check the gambit
they are better off running wellspring but yea if they keep oger knock is better
or horn leech works
ivy cudgel is already grass 120 bp
without stab
oh wait nvm
i forgot normal ogerpon is just 100 bp without stab
wait it’s not well spring the whole time?
oh then low kick is ok cuz i thought water ivy hits gambit for neutral
i think your team appreciates a knock absorber
calm mind clef looks good on your team
low kick on ogerpon can be knock off
meowscarada can be a good alternative
where removal
i just noticed that
dark spam when he's already super weak to mons like ival and enam idk
or stealth rock clefable and spikes ting lu
i'd rather just make ogerpon woger
gholdengo moltres and clef are solid enough glues for the fairies
wogerpon very appreciates hazard removal which this team doesnt have
unless he wants to slap on a hazard control somewhere
does anyone have suggestions for this team https://pokepast.es/fb68789c94e490c0
Isn’t that a wcop team from what I recall
Banded hands is a choice
you have no ground resist and ogerpon looks incredible into you
might be an interesting idea to swap out tusk for treads and darkrai for np torn
also make ceruledge adamant so +2 cc can ohko tinglu
Life orb np torn?
Grass knot bleakwind heat wave should work fine they already have 3 mons that hit gking well
u r right about that
okah but who is np torn
nasty plot tornadus therian
okay i will try that thanks
Ye he has hat tusk I don’t think boots are needed
Life orb allows you to 2HKO ting lu with grass knot and Tera grass unboosted
what set should i use for treads
rapid spin earthquake ice spinner knock off
with some spdef
theres a sample set i think works here
i was thinking i build him like great tusk
yea it looks like it
why am i looking at banded iron hands with tera blast fairy bro
what could tera blast fairy even be for that supercell does not kill
just run eq gang
https://pokepast.es/0c7b58e430db31b6 anything else
go spikes > stealth rocks on ting lu
fr ?
im not sure about the kyurem. if it feels like its hard to bring kyurem in you might want to swap it out for a different breaker
well you have rocks on treads too
you can drop rocks for ice spinner and put rocks on lu, or keep rocks and go spikes on lu
i forgot to remove rocks from treads
i put ice spinner
wow it actully is u r spot on
it might be interesting to go specs raging bolt > specs kyurem here
what about boaster energy
very little in the game can take a specs draco comfortably, and it helps break for your tornadus in the back
this team needs a source of immediate power to break through glowking/ting lu for your sweepers
okay i got it
sry but what set should i use
tera dragon, draco volt switch thunderbolt thunderclap
you can go max special attack max speed timid
okay thank u a lot
hi Cala 
hii
can someone give me some suggestions to help this team?
https://pokepast.es/80f9e1e25795cd0b
Hey @hollow folio, it looks like you're trying to share a gen9doublesou team, but I didn't find any raters for that format in this channel. Try posting in #1059655497587888158 instead.
Hey hey
I made a rain team and I was wondering if someone could look at it
I tried out a few versions so far and this is what I'm on right now, but I think it is still lacking
Basculegion, probably, is the main issue I think at the moment. But I don't know what to replace it with

New [Gen 9] OU RMT @north nimbus, @tacit bluff, @alpine hornet, @low phoenix, @empty verge, @wooden linden, @echo rampart, @magic dome, @trail whale. I won't notify you again for at least 6 hours.
add iron treads over basculegion
ogerpon w > zamazenta
i dont like band barraskewda with all the wogerpon running around give it mystic water with close combat or poison jab
why iron treads?
barra already has cc, should i swap that with poison jab?
true true
raging bolt wipes your team otherwise
valiant has more or less handled raging bolt so far
you still need a ground
maybe swap zama with treads?
and valiant doesnt like switching to attacks in the first place
yea swap zama > treads
cool cool
should i keep basculegion or no?
change zapdos to an offensive set with weather ball thunder hurricane
??
typo
or just change zapdos to raging bolt and basculegion to something like torn t dnite or overqwil
It’s kinda slow
hm..
ill put on raging bolt and dnite
what kind of dnite set?
theres like 3 dnite dragon dance sets on smogon lol
252 attack and speed
Adamant
standard dragon dance
Espeed dance eq ice spinner
with ddance extreme speed earthquake ice spinner
alright i see
treads with knock off over ice spinner?
keeping ice spinner is aight
knock off isnt as important on very offensive teams like rain
cool cool
what do you mean
i mean.. yeah its a choice band
https://pokepast.es/a54598f1017db8da lose to subtect kyurem

id make treads tera ice ice spinner over knock
and molt mixdef w roar
ur matchup into moth and pon + hazards are a little ruff asw
im almost inclined to say make hands av
on ts
unfortunately yes but i wanna use band
ok @cold cosmos changes:
tice ice spinner treads
mixdef molt
mixdef mola w mirror coat over scald
is what id do to fix ur mus
and make molt tera grass asw
Maybe sd could work
hm
Watch a replay of a Pokémon battle between GOAT im_M0rtal. and Jethin 10! Format: [Gen 9] OU; Date: Jul 20, 2025
this is why band hands the goat
@languid tendon
u2
tera blast fairy ftw
do you have mixdef mola and molt spreads
Check samples there are teams with both
Just copy paste the spreads
not moltres
https://pokepast.es/2b01bd9e9dcc50b5 i tried the team and i think tornadus is not good enough or maybe the set i am using is bad idk
This looks really messy
Offense sets where you won't need to be coming in much to worry about hazards, but you have no defensive pivots to bring these threats in and your speed control feels too iffy for an offense
Enam and zama is prob fine enough for speed control
When I say Offense sets I mean like Ebelt Zama and AVrott
I don't think Lefties Ghold is good but that kind of counts
I will say theres not much of a point for sini and ghold
i was building around cha hazard stack but i got lost
Thinking crown
oh
I feel like if you were to go for a bulkier route where this is more fine you'd run stuff like Boots Zama, probably Ting Lu, and another pivot over like Ghold
Yeah i'd prob do that
Possibly specs crown over ghold here if you want to keep sini
But uh general advice is that it's good to decide the style and try to stick to it before you build ❤️
You dont really have breaking power otherwise
That too
Tbf teams can kinda change over time
decided the style and failed to stick to it
Like as long as youre not using extremes
You can do a lot of things to fit the team imo so I'd recommend re evaluating with the advice you've gotten and then sending it again so we can give a more precise rate
This happens to me sometimes but they all turn out garbage :(
Thats ok 
so like i should get some more pivots to bring in my attacker ?(if i didn’t get it wrong
Pivots are indeed very good
Try and dedicate to a bulky hazard stack w Sinistcha, would probably mean a lot more boots and a fatter defensive backbone
https://pokepast.es/58b70641a7b55796 prima is here cuz my team is weak to ice but idk how to solve a specs kyurem with freeze dry
like rocks pressure was the only play
also prima can help fix against valiant
Put an AV on crown

You can make Prim your breaker then with specs
You’re going for a hazard stack balance type thing?
hazard stack without knock is like an angel without wings
then be a demon
Tink + Lu was popular on Sinistcha structures
oh
but like
how do i fit a tinka in
my team just suddenly dies to ground and ice stab
nvm zama
Mamoswine mentioned
i like swinub(off topic
I’d drop the crown
oh
Boots spam
https://pokepast.es/458638b9b6e367e5
extremely unsure about this hoopa set. ive made a few versions of this team, wdyt
https://pokepast.es/66578e052d506675
https://pokepast.es/ba3e78f387096fbf
so i run mold breaker to break hatt or i use ballon pickpocket
Does uninvested ice spinner kill lando?
Dam
Oh
not sure if u mean tera ice
Nah just regular

chomp in ou
am i right, that mon is such a fraud 😂
tbh ban the whole ou tier and chomp will be good
yes
like sort of
not a topic here but
its late ss but i am more casual and knew less about the game its really like these 1-2 years that i rlly learn a lot of it
anyways switch topic cuz a mod will comeout anytime soon
https://pokepast.es/39c849e1e906ac71 i am rlly stuck here
planning for a lando with scarf but thats too much speed
Typically these sort of structures have some sort of offensive pivot

You also need a knocker
The knocker needs to be able to threaten the common absorbers
So Corv, Gliscor, and Clef

yeah
😭 I mean it’s alright
as long as it's relevant discussion yeah
but ofc try to keep it related to just team-rating
nvm i just realise that it’s a real set
mola is just 12 hp for boots 48 hp if lefties max defense rest in spdef
molt is a little more specific lemme find what i like
wait i just realized after sending this i entered the evs wrong somehow
oops!
supposed to be 10 less in spdef and 10 more in def
And outspeeds jolly kingambit and ursaluna
Your team is super slow
ngl your oppo played bad, banded ihands still is a choice of choices
just because you can get a replay of it working once doesn't mean it's a good set
fish enough games you can get a replay of anything working
i have replays of hitmonlee 6-0ing teams in 1700 like its not hard
does it mean hitmonlee is good def not

its prolly bad but id like advice
guys im newbie in pokemon showdown is this team cool (im low rating)
Im no pro, but substitute focus sash dragapult? Big no, use sets on the import/export button or use sample teans from this link
https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/sv-ou-sample-teams-new-samples-added-post-spl-and-roaring-moon-ban.3712513/
I reccomend going for offense teams

ok thx
The mons aren’t that bad but sadly all these sets are unviable.
Like the guy above said I would recommend using sample teams to understand the tier better
Also in the future you can use pokepaste to send your team so it doesn’t clog the channel
It should be at the bottom of the screen when you open teambuilder
Ok sorry
What happened?
You said i should post stuff here
All I’m suggesting is the use of pokepaste. My bad if my tone sounded different or something
np i think i understand wrong
but i cant understand why the team is that bad im winning most matches
no offense, but a team working in lower ladder does not mean it's good
Most teams can win matches if they are very low on the ladder. Unfortunately they don’t reach any higher than that.
The problem with your team is non of these sets are optimal and they just seem very random. Dragon dance pult with no physical move is anti synergy
You’re running bad moves on your Pokemon. fly landorus, venoshock iron moth, bulldoze iron crown and shadow claw Ursaluna is bad and they don’t accomplish anything in battle.
Yours evs also just seems random like they were just slapped together with no thought.
Most half decent teams would easily beat a team like this. Sorry for the long message btw
can you tell me what i should do i was thinking about changes something but mainly switch volcanion for other pokemon
You've been told what you should do. use the samples to learn the metagame more!
im cant improve by doing that tbh and i just want to do few upgrades in my team
Studying samples will help you understand what type of team you want to build. Tbh there’s not much saving your team other than scrapping it.
You can improve, what you need is knowledge of the metagame
^
😭
ok i will try it
https://pokepast.es/1eb9444ffa10561e
general idea is i have mons whose big weakness is kingambit and i have dozo and tusk to counter
geranlly dondozo isnt great on non stall teams and curse + water move isnt great cuz a waterpon can hard wall it
i have hydra for that
i mean i kinda kept getting fried by ceru and sd sciz using band pult teams
also i need either priority or dozo and there isn't really a good priority that hits everything
oh right your team needs a ghost resist
add a gambit should work bettr
like if u hate other gambits
u can run max speed low sweep gambit to catch them off guard
oh yeah that one
also run tera blast on dragault as phantom force is extremely unreliable + u got tera ghost on draga already
i have
also gambit over dozo means fire resist is a pult
which prob wants to tera
ill try it tho
oh right then replace with sucker punch/quick attack
can't give a full rate rn but there's bigger problems with this team
you've stacked three breakers no speed control seems to be going for a bo/offense team here
pick between either lo hydrapple, banded pult, or specs crown, you don't need all three one of them can usually break teams just fine and you need to surround it with cleaners/other offensive mons that don't overlap in roles
ie you can drop dozo for something like id roar zamazenta for a cleaner/phys def/dark resist, drop hydrapple for gambit for a ghost resist/dark resist, swap tusk to its defensive set on the dex
(you can find it here https://www.smogon.com/dex/sv/pokemon/great-tusk/)
And then swap crown out as well, either for av crown or maybe another pivot like pecharunt
ik and the fastest mon was kinda disappointing
all i want for now is a replacement for tornadus
Not the channel for this
fair enough

Thinking of using drain punch for a reliable self recovery but after a few test game I think I should use other move
why max speed on ursa?
It's good to have Jolly on ursa
You will outspeed mon that has 200 speed
I would go cm on clef
To have a nice set up win condition
Twave + koff seems a bit too much
And playing def clef
what is the point of knock clef when you have no hazards?
cuz the whole point of knock clef is to get rid of boots
why not
every move serves a purpose
lefties isn't as common this gen
I just down know what to put there
alr
what do you want the clef to do
calm mind or utility?
utility
rocks is prob best
even with defog rocks is often worth it
ok then
the only reason I use knock off clef on this team is to remove rocky helmet for ursa or av for pult
that feels way too specific for a clefable move
maybe run coverage on luna over drain punch?
you cannot touch air balloon dengo without it
but drain punch is probably acceptable
suggested move set says fire punch or ice punch
I'd prob go fire punch
https://pokepast.es/a14a0be06c0dc2f4
ive been thinking of revamping this super old team from last october maybe
iirc i got like 1900 elo but it def is outdated
Yeah I remember this
Hmmmm
Lemme read your rmt again
Was it an rmt?
Feel like I have seen this before
Hmmm
I can't wrap my finger around what's missing
The only thing I could even see being changed is maybe pult?
Cuz ace king lando is a solid foundation
And rockpon is gud
i mean
it was used by lax
Any last Pokémon suggestion, and any Pokémon I am super weak to
thinking of adding Cinderace
and thinking of dropping sw on Ogerpon-Wellspring and using u turn
donbozo is a solid cleaner with curse max hp spdef input random move on BO but there are many better options
tbh i never seen a dondozo out side of stall
i've seen a solid amount in 1600-1770
and just bring body press
if u cant win against gambit whihc is the only thing that breaks it
It works on really fat balances
on a sand team i'd use cornerstone
.
it does???
It's a bit out of fashion now
cornerstone isnt worth it on here
youd rather stick to wellspring
But uhhh lemme fetch the blimax team
lets you deal with alo and tusk way easier
it have spikes
i will say sylveon isnt needed here
it is good
ive tried sylveon
when playing syveon is pulling
its not worth it
then what to add
take sylveon out if you want a fairy i'd put ival on that squad
fairy fighting is great stab
make pecha corv? for removal
they do use it outside stall
and corv does not take sand damage
nah pech is nice here
what 😭 i say through samples and didnt even find one with it
they need some sort of pivot here
and also smth to switch into wellspring
also malignant chain over toxic
1st u turn on wellspring then
For example
This team used to be all over the place
a slow pivot (corv) removal (corv) and something else thats not ground weak (corv)
why is it in half
I am not sending the paste because chatot might think it's a rate
it only have 8 pp this is why i prefer toxic
isnt that semi stall
Not really?
like sort of
not really its more of a BO
brother u have change the whole team
its 2 attacker with 4 "walls"
It's very much a fat/bo
rlly fat bo ig
yes i have changed two pokemon
still i dont like dondozo outside of stall
?? Glowking isn't exactly playing like a stall mon
rest sucks
ahh mb
i thought
this was the team
they need to get kyurem in ig
dont put dozo on sand
When in doubt
Slap on a random zama
we are talking abt dozo in a diff type of team
i know zama is good on any team but
zama on sand just sounds ass
yea
they would want a ground resist
Last I checked it was a common teammate
btw i was think Mandibuzz
According to usage
with overcoat
cuz like 3/5 is weak to it and the resistant is woger somehow
woger is not a ground res ngl
it resists but its not smth for taking dmg
thats why i said corv over pecha
uh
i'd still drop sylveon
ground and ice kyurem hits through that
mandibuzz is heat tho
for what
no ice resist
yea
but yea kyurem eats your team bri
tera cant always save you
whats the woger set
helps with the problem of KYUREM
does it have play rough
i'd just do this here
av glowking so fairies arent as rough
zama and pult for speed control
cs kyurem ??
zama also helps with mixed kyu
^
it taking more than 50
calc
i run spdef corv with pecha all the time
cool
but yea run what msc put
i have a sand team by lawyerantis that i'll get for you too
252 SpA Choice Specs Kyurem Ice Beam vs. 248 HP / 252+ SpD Corviknight: 177-208 (44.3 - 52.1%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Leftovers recovery
Possible damage amounts: (177, 178, 180, 183,
man still one wrong roll
3hko
brother what can i do
nah
body press is still like 2hko
4 Def Corviknight Body Press vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Kyurem: 132-156 (33.7 - 39.8%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
nah
Sylveon good
and go exca with rock blast/ other rock move
how about bb
remove what
sylveon does NOT have that good of bulk
just run what mcs said to run
I feel like if I wanted to build sylveon
I wouldn't do sand
^
ngl on sand i like specs pult more
it doesn't exactly play to sylveon's strengths
and nor does sylveon synergize with sand's gameplan particularly well
the team needs smth to burn wellspring so wisp pult was needed here
.
true
i mean look good but something doesn't feel right
its good
@wooden linden
ok phew didn't trigger chatot
what even triggers this?
well I'd rather not find out
https://pokepast.es/42b29a3ef3f0036d another (solid) sand team

????
just had to be 6 hours
it was definetly more than 6 hours
nope last one was 3:27 am
"this isnt a conversation for this channel"-someone
ngl if youre not running smooth sand idt exca is gonna work out that well here
ig it does not work for helpers
it gets some solid kills and tempo speed control it works most of the time
eh either way
just run smooth rock
https://pokepast.es/d5251352b5367fed not much thoughts on this but the move set is strange
cb tar is wack
av pex is good man
what
feel good to use
av pex is tomfoolery
should prob go careful here
its ok
on the gliscor
no careful does that already
unless you mean ada
dont ever run av pex half of its moves should be non damaging
my show dex says
av pex is fine enough
its 99.6
haze/baneful/tspikes .
showdex is ass
oh also put ice beam on pex here
cant i tried
you dont want gliscor sitting on you
you should be fine vs garg here
oh its stall
whats my play tho
knock gliscor with spikes
okay av pex is fine
gweezing can burn
i had just looked at team
also 2 defoggers
you could go fast corv with idbp
i'd put body press over defog
extra check to gambit
but then how i beat woger
it does?
idef
yea tera dark black glasses
only with tera dark black glasses 5 fallen
still
2hkos dozo
lets you burn wellspring and get rid of ground weakness
i find it hard to position against ghodengo
av pex
(skill issue
psyshock gholdengo aint alive anymore
nah its still a thing
blissey should be fine here with tera dark
you have cm shadow ball so its not unwinnable
you prob dont need it here
corv plus dozo does well enough
put tera fighting on dozo btw
yeah id corv is good
you have tera grass gweezing so it should be ok enough
and tbh if the wellspring had encore youd prob lose regardless
nah thats just how stall works tbh
its match up fishy so its bound to happen once in a while
mhm
takes some patience too
which means team is good
just the player ass
subjectively best team for a dumb person like me
such as what
that team brough me to 1750 and get beaten back to 1690 😭
i love and hate it
im no stall connoisseur so ima stay outta this
like lets say you face some ho that has a very strong plan vs stall
pinkstork is the only one ik
like wellspring psyshock ghold and val
well youd still lose to psyshock is the thing
oh yeah but on paper its a must loose for me
ngl higher in ladder i have not seen psyshock ival in a while
cuz like how do u fit it
and why
besides breaking stall which mix val is decent at
its good on teams that dont really have any other move needed
smth like cm tbolt val cant break through glowking anyways
thats why i love pex more than alo
so might as well just put psyshock
tbh is alo even good in stall
i found it rather mid
pex's bulk+ regen helps me take on stuff thats idk how to say
alo wish passing is pgood
made a shitty physical spam trick room team, i shoud probaby go to bed it's late
wait
that's the wrong paste
g15 (joke from that paste ive seen)
banded iron hands is not very good on tr
whats that paste
i'd use swords dance ihands
(where do you pee) paste title
yeah i do need that
ihands sd over play rough
what item then?
like, av?
k
make szor a special atker thats slow
sini ?
since when was scizor a special atker
oh
scizor is mostly here for removal and priority
k
fair enough
what
doesn't my team just kinda... die to hazard stack instantly on preview then?
no
since when
its the only mon weak to removal
or netural
hazards you mean
k
gn
this closer to what you were thinking?https://pokepast.es/350d2752d46f2163
(sorry i stayed up a bit
i'd say take out low sweep out for low kick
on gambit
and tbh i'd say go calm mind here and take sub out for shadow ball
it lets you hit stuff like gholdengo and dragapult
guys can someone help with this team https://pokepast.es/613e73239849bf0e tornadus feels weak af
i got u kdot
make treads sr over knock off
make tingus pingus spikes
make torn scarf ghold
stealth rocks ?
why ?
It’s bad
If you’re not a rater don’t give advice
Or be very good at the game
Like pinkstork
im giving simple advice ngl his team has obivious holes in it
and i'd say im pretty solid at 1720
Yes like the speed, which was lacking before you removed the only fast mon
Youre also type stacking ghosts
Wait for a real eater
i never got a chance to say change ceru but okay
as soon as i said change torn to ghold you said stop giving advice
sry for not sayign this earlier i want to keep ceruledge
I said that two minutes after you gave your advice
no ?
You had more than enough time
i started giving advice for like 30 seconds
Discord says this was from 1:19 pm
everyone chill
I replied at 1:21
i was talking in comp general for a solid 1 minute
torn to ghold is a really bad change, i agree
this team does have a few issues, not a fan of the changes suggested
if i'd known bro was never changing ceru i would never say change to ghold tbh
torn to ghold is a bad change no matter what you're removing the only flyer and replacing it with another ground weak mon
yeah that was my bad
but is sr over knock not a good suggest ? and make spikes ting lu for hazard stack ?
Then let's all help each other get better
then you have no knocker to enable your hazard stack
idk i also felt that was a bad idea
cause ting lu was already good enough
eh okay if so i'd change torn to a max hp max speed set on that team
give it knock.?
m8 just stop giving advice ill give it a full rate in a sec
alr
I assume you want to build around ceruledge?
thank u for trying to help i do really appreciate it.
yeah
sash ceruledge on non-ho teams is too greedy, i would recommend pivoting to the bulk up covert cloak set
okay
frankly, i would recomend a pivot to ho in general if youw ant to use ceruledge (or sun), but if you want to keep the general structure of this team
yeah i want to keep this team idea
sash ceru can work on standard offense/bo imo but you really have to pull multiple strings to keep hazards off and preserve your sash for your ceru to wincon
thats why i have two mons that remove/prevent hazards
but if i make him bulk then no need for two
ill just leave the rate to clod just wanted to give my input
no, still keep two, you need as much hazard control as possible
thanks
alright
my biggest problem is tornadus
Ceru set is
248 hp
204 spdef
56 speed
Tera bug covert cloak
Taunt shadow sneak bulk up bitter blade
Flash fire
thank u so much but tera bug ?
+spd -spa nature
most of the time tera grass is better like vs woger ???
just saying
stop
That was the set used in wcop
you are not trying to beat woger
But it was on veil
you are trying to beat the fighting types
no im saying like in general
It’s flash fire aswell
tera bug gives you a better mu into tusk and zamazenta, who you actually care about
instead of woger, who you cannot beat
Not weak armor
I’m not talking to you
@bright plinth i can give you a more complete rate when i get home, sorry i couldnt finish yours two days ago
fayas a solid rater too
so dw
sure i want many opinions.
i've been seeing more tera grass and even on a team that peaked #9 thats why i was asking tho
just let clodsire fan finish first
clodsire if u want a minute or two just tell me i am in no rush
swap ting lu for lando
swap torn for zamazenta 4 attack
swap bolt for pecharunt
https://pokepast.es/21a3a1806b5ac1ef
lando has better mu into grounds and can help break, zamazenta is a soft check/speed control option, pecharunt should check the majority of fairies + wogerpon
ceruledge is 84 speed because you want to beat neutral gliscor
not the biggest fan of this team im ngl, building around ceruledge felt pretty bad, but it should be decent, careful of the ground mu but you should be able to play around it, feel free to change teras (ie tera steel zamazenta is an option if you're worried ice/fairies)
alright i will keep that in mind but if u think ceruldge is a weakness what would u put instead
i would have to rebuild the entire team atp cuz its kinda centered around enabling ceruledge
okay then nvm lol
but probably pivot to a more mixed team instead of just phys spam, drop hatt go for a more boots spam direction, etc
okay if i ever wanted help with that i would ask for help another day
cala is going to give their rate later so i would wait, they might find a cleaner solution for this
yeah i will be waiting
thank u so much man u the best
np
and thanks to everyone who helped everyone here r the best fr
Trying to make a team with mixed DD Kyruem, but honesty I’m having no luck
I can’t explain it, but from my testing this team just feels bad to use
You got any bad matchups to any particular Pokémon?
I’m thinking you can make tusk stealth rock and give Lando scarf since your speed control is kinda lacking for an offense team
Yeah I feel like opposing Tusk can easily rapid spin then do lots of damage to me
Yeah scarf Lando feels WAY better on this team
My main issue was being outsped by many threats
I also feel like pecharunt will benefit this team
Gives you a proper switchin to wogerpon over zama
Or change landorus to drsgapult for a soft wogerpon check
YESS THANK YOU
I really wanted to justify having boots Pult 😭
I just didn’t know if it would work
I’ve never used Dragapult on a team before but it looks super fun
It also allows me to use tera blast on Kingambit (a move I love using)
Yea boots pult looks good on your team
make sure not to run draco meteor or someone will Visit you
draco meteor is fine on boots pult
I don’t know if this has been rated already but as a person that usually plays with TR a few notes.
-hatterene and cresselia are a must as TR setters, as both are the most reliable in setting up trick room due to their bulk and abilities and have utility moves like healing wish and lunar dance to help revive your tr abusers in a clutch.
-Running defensive mons like garganacl and glowking are a waste on trick room teams since the goal is to make the most out of the limited TR turns you have.
-Iron Hands is a staple on TR teams but it prefers to run booster energy swords dance 3 attacks rather than choice band.
-if you want special attacking mons that abuse tr examples of this are specs enamorus-therain and specs eruption torkoal. And if you want a Mon that can work outside of trick room kingambit is also a very good option.
what is a good partner for heatran
#comp-general
pult has higher base attack
and dragon darts is one of the best dragon stab moves in the game
and gives you a higher damage option vs special walls
Both are fine
K, got it
((1 question, isn’t enam too fast for TR?
Oh therian
k
Gotcha
Totally forgot torkoal because i only see him on sun lol
https://pokepast.es/e84b9b9ff70bf36a
ok this team got like 1830+ elo but tbh
im not entirely sure what to do now with the team
its not performing terribly per say just feels easy to out offense
and hazards are really only becoming an issue now
when should i expect the rate
i wanna so i can be here and reply to u
I think it fun when make these unhinged (or not) set https://pokepast.es/6784b23107ca8af3
New [Gen 9] OU RMT @north nimbus, @tacit bluff, @alpine hornet, @low phoenix, @empty verge, @wooden linden, @echo rampart, @magic dome, @trail whale. I won't notify you again for at least 6 hours.
isnt focus sash ceru too frail to be on balance
once the sash is gone it's extremely vulnerable to pretty much everything
I just dont know what to put there
i do see what you meant by unhinged
I want a ghost type in team
scarf tusk
there's just a lot of anti synergies here
garg and corv are primarily balance mons but then you have scarf tusk which isn't a real thing, av prim is typically on Bulky offence structures as a pivot as is raging bolt, focus sash ceruledge also does not fit the pace of this team
you have mons that want to make use of offensive momentum and mons that bring said offensive momentum to a halt
and so it leaves the team a bit directionless
js go ghold
oh fair that too
idl pult much as a spinblocker
probably the support set tho
fair, it is kinda frail
the only hazards he has anyway are rocks tho
I'd reccomend a sample since I feel like you're not quite sure what ur working towards here @edgy crow
also please for the love of god change that tusk set
if its balance your after then I'd drop tusk ceruledge and prim
i mean they said they were making it a bit unhinged
evidently
some just insta forfeit because my tusk ko their darkrai
you want the slowest u-turn possibl
you could
just run booster energy tusk
ok
but also tusk's role on this team as a breaker isn't my fave
i mean, you lose the surprise factor, but you gain using every move
yeah
tusk isnt normally a breaker
like why scarf tusk when there's zamazenta
in my experience at least
okay being fair
without tusk he does lack speed control
but at the same time
^
alright
also
just a question
why the boots on bolt
(and 20 attack ivs, what does that do? never understood that one)
like im pretty sure some smogon set tells you to run 15 attack ivs
imo scarf tusk only exists to cheeze out a kill against lead pult.
I just get lazy and use smogon set
Bolt is IV locked. It can’t go lower on attack IVs. Special attackers want lower attack IVs to minimise foul play and confusion damage.
There is nothing lazy about using analysis sets. They are useful sets in the metagame and have a lot of effort put into describing their usage.
