#

not to mention the move set definitely could use some work but we don’t talk about that stare

quiet salmon
#

regen definitely better

#

merciless is appealing believe me but in practice its just not that good

#

even in bh where you can put it on anything

#

ive tried making it work for like 2 years

sly thicket
#

Is there any real reason to run merciless? Ik that in vanilla gen 9 assault vest pex is a thing but even then iirc that still runs regenerator for sustain

quiet salmon
#

it runs vest bc it lost all its good utility moves so it has to have some dmg output instead so it doesnt get owned by stallbreakers

sly thicket
#

Yeah fair enough

#

Would merciless even be good against stall break or the setup sweepers? I’d imagine not because by the time you’d get there they would already be set up even if you have toxic spikes on the ground

#

Especially how IF set up sweepers work

quiet salmon
#

its theoretically good into stall bc you hit walls v hard

#

in practice you set tspike and then toxitar just comes in and removes it

sly thicket
#

Oh it removes on both sides? I thought it only ate your sides spikes

quiet salmon
#

no stall uses toxitar too

#

just the regenvest set

sly thicket
#

Ahhh fair, haven’t seen any stall on the ladder that uses toxitar actually so I’m surprised to hear people who run stall run it

#

I think I’ve seen 1 team use it? It’s been a while though so idr how they used it (prolly av regen as you said huehue)

idk best i can think of

That’s definitely an interesting idea I won’t lie Thonking

sly thicket
#

If you don’t mind me asking actually, do you have any ideas on flying type support mons that work well on sun teams? The team I’ve got loses hard to eq and the best idea I came up with is vaporeon/dragonite with multiscale leftovers but it just seems like it’s a bit too specific for a 50/50 with the team I made. If need be I can post the team I got but it’s not too much more modified from the sun team I had before (the Mon in question is in place of the web setter since screens feel more consistent)

np

true vigil
#

is this set any good?

quiet salmon
#

no its a bulky mon thats weak to rocks with no recovery

#

fire dark is an awkward defensive typing making it a "physdef" tank thats weak to the top physical types ground, rock, and fighting as well as weak to utility type water

#

you should either go fully offensive by replacing arcanine with entei (as it has vcreate) and probably replacing ttar with a faster ddancer like garchomp or haxorus

#

or go fully defensive by replacing ttar with something like steelix for much better physical bulk

#

and giving it leftovers instead of vest so it can use morning sun for recovery

#

though i prefer salamence to arcanine for intimidate bc its not weak to ground and roost has more pp than morning sun

preciate the feedback

basically a choice of either STAB sun boosted 150bp eruption

with adapt

or...

#

charizard that slower and weaker but more coverage and healing

You should try to read NPC dialogue! They give very good hints on how to continue the game. Sometimes they also give you items! Don't forget to talk to NPC's and read what they say.

#

From what I heard new people coming into the discord got so tiresome with asking the same questions tags like this needed to be made

#

Idk what triggered the npc one out of all of the tags tbh but here we are huehue

They’re also really useful to explain spriting techniques to help explain how to make people’s art better

anyone got sample teams for gen 9 ou

sly thicket
#

Idk if anyone that plays gen 9 ou interacts here too much tbh, but I can’t imagine that it isn’t too much different for building gen 7 nat ou teams Thonking

#

What’s the idea on what you’re trying to build?

craggy remnant
#

Just came back to the game and got no idea what are the top OU mons now

#

I feel like Raikou is not fitting in the team but I don't not how to properly swap it

quiet salmon
# craggy remnant Can someone give some advice? https://pokepast.es/fcf21e6a5bf8b32a

azumachomp is not very good bc grass is pretty rare in the meta and its main problems are getting walled by unaware/intimidate/water types which sap sipper doesnt fix so id recommend going with something different from azumarill

umbreon is fine throw 4 spd on it

raikou doesnt fit on the team bc electric/grass is not a very impressive defensive typing, try jirachi tangrowth with vest uturn/iron head/giga drain/knock off and sassy nature

having hp grass when you also have solar beam is terribly inefficient and dark pulse doesnt hit anything relevant but also the mon itself is not very strong and nukes the power of azumarill (if you keep it a water type) so id recommend something like porygonz-typhlosion instead

pyukumuku ferrothorn is pretty mediocre because water steel is not a good defensive typing when handling setup because its weak to ground, id rather go something like clefable/suicune with scald, calm mind, softboiled, moonblast/stealthrock

zapcor is ok but idk what that stat spread is doing and roost is far better than protect, also id rather put defog over sr because you dont have any hazard removal right now

craggy remnant
#

I'm also just getting into comp pokemon so I prob have done some noob mistakes with this team

#

pyukumuku ferrothorn is pretty mediocre because water steel is not a good defensive typing when handling setup because its weak to ground, id rather go something like clefable/suicune with scald, calm mind, softboiled, moonblast/stealthrock
I really like this mon, but yeah it was being one shot by both ground and electric moves

somber kiln
#

my first team for showdown, its probably rlly bad but i'd like some suggestions

sly thicket
#

For a Mon that gives speed control it’s better to use a webs user for that since tailwind only lasts 4 turns (including the turn you activate it) so at most you’d only have 2 turns of double speed after activation. Since you’re going with rain anyway I recommend this: https://pokepast.es/bf9ab6c738bfd0f3

sly thicket
somber kiln
#

That was the idea, but i dont think it works well

#

I picked gyarados bcs i kinda got lazy and tought maybe just get another decent mons

sly thicket
#

Ah so then you just want a physical swift swimmer?

#

Btw I don’t think you need to have rain dance on him either since you have a rain setter in politoad with damp rock

sly thicket
#

Having draining punch is nice against things that don’t resist it and the swords dance gives an out to protect while having rocky helmet punishes fake out/knock off. Feel free to tinker with that one however you want

#

Thing that does suck about it though is it’s typing since it gets hit by a lot of common typings

#

Also whenever you can find the room for a sap sipper abuser. Grass is a common use against rain users since they’ll have ground types more than likely and don’t have to worry too much about that due to elec immunity

Also why gliscor as the head for ninetales fusion?

and gliscor as head is slightly faster

and has less weaknesses

What's wrong with ninetales garchomp?

Also please include a means of hazard removal because you have two sweepers who are weak to rocks (in fact, Multiscale is bound to be useless since Entei/Dragonite is taking 50% just on switch in), and your team also wants to avoid webs if possible

general rule, mons that aren't running Choiced Items or Assault Vest use Protect; the only one on this team that can get away with it is Amoonguss

#

Leftovers is also rarely seen and not good on these mons because VGC is very fast relative to every other game mode

your Amoonguss will always need Rage Powder, redirection is the quintissential mechanic

We should make a sample team pages for ifdex ou

#

or at least a place where players can find already made teams

#

cause unless i am unaware

#

we don't currently have one

vernal vale
#

Well there is the showdown discord and there are archived teams there

vital thistle
#

I wonder .. what is the highest bst fusion?

#

well okay so if all pokemon ever were in the game it would be
terapagos (stellar) and zacian crowned sword

#

then there is also white kyurem / zamazenta

#

and after that it's just arceus/arceus

vital thistle
#

then when you want to max out HP+def+sp.def, you get:

  1. blisrock (blissey and regirock) 642 bst, 455 wall total
  2. bisdon (blissey and bastiodon) 582 bst, 441 wall total
  3. chanrock (chansey and regirock) 589 bst, 431 wall total
  4. chandon (chansey and bastiodon) 526 bst, 415 wall total
  5. girarock (girantina and regirock) 658 bst, 412 wall total
quiet salmon
#

wheres chansey shuckle

snow pike
#

if you are just talking about base stats blissey is better

#

this is just funny

patent hatch
#

Eviolite makes Chansey/Shuckle way bulkier than Blissey

vital thistle
#

yeah shuckle is just not on here lmao

snow pike
#

what's that list?

snow pike
vital thistle
#

okay so

#

back to reality

vital thistle
#

I wanna have a ferrothorn,
Do i run:
shuckle/ferrothorn (bug/steel) -> only weak to fire
latias/ferrothorn with levitate -> only weak to fighting
||weezing/ferrothorn with levitate -> only weak to fire, it's not good enough tbh||

considerations
shuckle/ft is a lot bulkier in terms of either defense stat but has less HP so overall actually less tanky
shuckle/ft has a lot less speed, which pairs extremely well with gyro ball.
latias/ft has a better bst and attack/sp. attack stats
shuckle/ft can still run any of their usual abilities

this will mainly be for stealth rock and spikes, obviously being able to have a powerful, stab gyroball is also nice (with the lower speed)

movesets would maybe be:
sh/ft:
spikes/stealth rock
leech seed
spiky shield
gyro ball
item: leftovers

latias/ferrothorn
spikes/stealth rock
leech seed
spiky shield
dragon pulse/ roar

quiet salmon
#

why would you use leech seed when it has roost

vital thistle
#

cuz it also deals passive damage

#

like you can even start off with leech seed
and then
leech - shield - spikes - shield - spikes - shield - spikes

you regen 7 times both with leech seed and leftovers

#

you know there is an argument to even just run both spikes and stealth rocks on latias/ ferrothorn

#

it is very bulky

#

like
2x fight
1x fire/ice/ghost/dragon/dark/fairy
1/2x normal/water/electric/flying/psychic/bug/rock/steel
1/4x grass
0x poison/ground

8 resistances, 1 double resistance, 2 immunites just is so good

vital thistle
quiet salmon
vital thistle
quiet salmon
#

you should when it doesnt wall things consistently without reliable recovery

#

you can take like 30% chip from wallbreakers and recover none of it because opp instantly switches to jigrowth

vital thistle
#

it still allows me more time to set up spikes/stealth rock

sure regenerator is a powerful ability

but id also be running my own regenerator chanapex, that can toxic and set up toxic spikes

#

there is an argument to be made for weezing/ferrothorn

poison/steel with levitate is only weak to fire again

and you can give it black sludge to save the leftovers for some other pokemon

#

anyway

#

What moveset would you recommend?

And what's your preferred ferrothorn fusion?

#

(Also feel free to ping me, i dont always see all channels)

quiet salmon
#

regen with scald spikes slack off iron head/dtail

#

if youre playing ag theres definitely no reason to use shuckle ferrothorn

quiet salmon
vital thistle
#

mhm good point

#

Ig i was too focused on optimal type combinations to realize that there are way more important things 😅

quiet salmon
#

yeah only having one weakness is not as important as resisting or taking neutral from certain type combos

vital thistle
#

yeah

vital thistle
quiet salmon
#

venoshock is bad

#

you definitely need recover

#

ideally haze against reshiram fusions

#

ideally some way to get past shed

vital thistle
#

yeah with all the shedinja fusions...
you need a dark, fire and fairy at least
there is also an idea of uhhh the move that makes an opponent water type

vital thistle
quiet salmon
#

most likely

vital thistle
#

ill keep that in mind

vital thistle
quiet salmon
#

iron head has more pp

vital thistle
#

yeah

quiet salmon
#

it also hits clefable which is slow so gyro ball does very little against it

vital thistle

mhm

Alr this was fun ill be back tomorrow i got some more fun mons to talk about

oh btw how did the boomburst testing go? I haven't kept up to date with it

anyone tried this (or a better version of it)

#

If you’re gonna go for a normal ghost fear user might as well go arceus if you’re not using him anywhere else but fear gets stopped really easily by any ghost type imo not worth the effort to make

#

Not to mention e-speed is a higher priority so any e-speed user beats this idea outright (wait I’m a fool e-speed can’t hit oop)

fervent arch
#

not one feint or espeed user get it

#

I’m assuming you’re making your entire team centralized around this mon?

At best they’re used because they have a really important move to pop their team off but that’s in vanilla ubers

There’s prolly stuff in ubers that gets around it easily and dark types just ignore prankster altogether

because the best they do is chip damage and also mbounce is really good

i did not think of magic bounce lol

does it bounce endeavor too?

quiet salmon

it bounces status moves

Endure (sorry extremely tired and keep forgetting what moves do I should prolly just sleep huehue) doesn’t work on shedinja fusions anyway since their hp is all locked to 1 (unless that wasn’t implemented)

returning to this to say that this mon was good until Meloetta-P joined (it's not that much worse but it can't spam whirlwind as much as before)
but you really got to use it to know
on paper it looks mid

cursive tundra
#

that was before Gengar got Levitate back

snow pike
#

It's biggest upside is having recovery

#

Iirc quagsire is the only other one that has recovery

#

other ground type i mean

#

As for ghost it's drifblim having strength sap but idk any others

snow pike
#

is there any mon that does what this does but bulkier?

quiet salmon
#

this looks like a bad defogger

#

if you want hazard control use slowbro donphan

if you want fire grass use entei tangrowth

ye
its kinda slow tho

quiet salmon

weak slow frail

#

unholy trifecta

snow pike
#

Banette is sad cuz fusing it as a head gives you poor defensive stats and hp, and as a body makes the pokemon very slow

#

gengar whilst being a special attacker probably abuses spectral thief better

#

doublade imo does it the best

#

or aegis i havent played that much since they got unbanned

dapper lake
#

can anyone explain why hydreigon/yanmega gets quiver dance in gen 7 ou but not in gen 9 ag

quiet salmon
#

bc gen 9 uses gen 9 learnsets so yanmega doesnt learn qd

dapper lake
#

is it common for gen 9 to take moves away from pokemon or is that a very rare thing

#

i havent played any main games in a while sorry

quiet salmon
#

its bc yanmega gets qd only in if

dapper lake
#

oh ok

quiet salmon
#

gen 9 doesnt add any if moves

urban prawn
#

It's a rain/trick room team

quiet salmon
#

kind of a waste to run rain but no swift swim

urban prawn
#

I mean true but trick room is uncommon right now which makes it good

#

I have a non-trick version but this one has been more successful

quiet salmon
#

rarity doesnt really mean anything

#

monotype is v rare and also not good

urban prawn
#

When trick is rare, it means there aren't a lot of people prepared for it

quiet salmon
#

you dont need to specifically prepare for it in the first place

urban prawn
#

all those fast sun teams get hard countered

urban prawn
quiet salmon
#

sun obv has a hard mu vs rain

urban prawn
#

well, thanks for the input

#

I'll keep it in mind

#

I'm currently testing entei/lickilicky for the cloud nine v-create, though it hurts my soul

snow pike
minor cradle
cursive tundra
#

this type of metagame incentives stacking counterweather mons

#

putting a Chlorophyll user on a rain team for example wouldn't be out of the realm

minor cradle
#

similiar to how gen 5 ou rain sometimes ran excadrill w/ sand rush as a real example

snow pike
#

I thought that was bc they complex banned weather setup + weather abuser

snow pike
#

Sand Rush is banned in gen 5 ou now

#

but before it was a complex ban

timid fog
#

so i have a competetive question

#

so if i put a pokemon-specific item on a fusion, will it still work? I know Ultranecrozium works on necrozma fusions, but im wondering about griserous orb working on giratina fusions

#

also is there a damage calculator so i can find this out

quiet salmon
#

it works

timid fog
#

epic, thanks!

snow pike
#

Is this a good fusion?

#

Thousand arrows + fighting hits alot of stuff i believe

minor cradle
#

Its fine, sandslash fusions are just
Fuse with big stronger mon thats not ice type tbh

snow pike
#

Is this a good fusion?

#

I just realized I asked the exact same thing

quiet salmon
#

probably decent against sun/rain

#

idk how bulk compares to kyupex

void willow
# snow pike Is this a good fusion?

I've used one with Sap Sipper for a while since it walled the common Fire/Grass types on Sun teams, but for general usage Regen is definitely better, and if you don't need Sap Sipper then the aforementioned Kyuapex is much bulkier on the physical side

snow pike
#

ok cool cuz i just made a sprite for it and i thought it might be decent

#

(though i dont really like the sprite that much lol)

robust rain
#

Where can I find sample teams?

cold slate
#

what pokemon should i use in my draft battle

snow pike
#

jolteon

#

and uh the rest doesnt seem that good

#

mudsdale fini maube

quiet salmon
#

worst mons on team lol

fading shadow
#

is that a fusion draft how does that work do you do the base pokemon or the fusions

violet gulch
#

Just found the most obnoxious physical wall conceivable, Victreebel/Omastar:

  • Water/Grass, a decent defensive type
  • Shell Armor, immune to crits
  • STAB Giga Drain and Scald coming off of base 105 SPA
  • 76/105 physical bulk
  • Strength Sap
  • Lotta stuff to run in the 4th moveslot (mostly courtesy of Victreebel): Clear Smog, Tspikes, Toxic, Stun Spore, Sleep Powder, Synthesis, Knock Off, or Encore. You could probably swap one of these out for Giga Drain if you really wanted to.
    Only thing that could make it better is if you were to somehow make something similar that had Intimidate or Marvel Scale, but doing so would cut into physical bulk and impact the effectiveness of Strength Sap.
quiet salmon
#

76/105 physical bulk is really mediocre though

#

these are much better water grasses

snow pike
#

ferro is the spike setter of all time

#

feel like both omastar and victreebel are more used offensively (though I haven't ever seen a victreebel but it is basically frailer and more offensive vileplume)

#

omastar is one of the few good swift swimmers

violet gulch
#

Any particularly strong fusions for Clefable?

quiet salmon
#

clefable registeel, clefable mew, clefable dusclops, clefable suicune, etc

snow pike
#

clef is a very good mon for fusions
using it as a head fused with a physically tanky mon with a good typing depending on what you need

compact pebble
#

Are ALL custom fusions from infiite fusion also in showdown?

minor cradle
#

maybe not all but most of them are up to date

keen dawn
#

its as up to date as humanly possible

#

more than the actual game i think

red spear
#

We always use the latest sprite pack release

keen dawn
#

we always use the current gitlab status*

snow pike
#

Which of these 2 is better?
rat is faster but frailer and weaker

#

(ignore rat having protect instead of sd)

gusty burrow
#

This has better stats than ursaring

#

Probably the latter, raticate is too frail to set up SD well

snow pike
#

Bonus points for having a custom sprite

gusty burrow
#

It's just funny that the two mons have nearly identical stats, but Machamp is so very slightly better

snow pike
#

Mhm, I think it also learns Bullet Punch so opponents will also have to wary of that even if you don't have it

nOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

#

y'know what it's for a custom battle with a friend

tired comet
#

Y'know it's rushed becuase it has two mons with Sand Rush.

quiet salmon
#

5 offensive mons kinda means the moment you lose momentum you lose a mon

tired comet
#

I mean, yeah.

#

But running walls here... what could I do?

#

Generic regen defensive mon #33?

#

I always have Slowphan on lock, but it didn't feel right running it here.

#

I'm probably wrong though.

quiet salmon
#

i run slowphan on my sand team

#

you need a ground resist bc your sand rushers are weak to it but not the no stab latios scizor kind

tired comet
#

Yeah, I think I'll kick Latizor, its STABs are already on my other mons.

#

I need a Water/Steel check because those are everywhere.

tired comet
#

On second thought, this team doesn't really work.

#

This sucks, I feel like I'm always forced to run 2 or 3 Regenerator mons.

quiet salmon
#

its ok regen is based anyway

tired comet
#

lmao

#

You're a Certified Regenerator Enjoyer™️, hm?

quiet salmon
#

yes

#

ive built 6 regen before

tired comet
#

If it's not stall, I'll be actually impressed.

#

I just wish the format had all the shiny Smogon resources- sample teams, viability rankings (probably unfeasible), team cores, a calculator....

#

I miss calcing so bad.

#

And no I don't wanna spend 5 minutes putting in custom stats for everything

#

Teambuilding is still hard.

quiet salmon
#

it was stall

#

but ive also run bulky offense with like 4 regen

#
  • levitate + mg
snow pike
#

im good at throwing against setup so I kinda need unaware on my stall but yeah most teams i see have at least 1 regen mon

#

2 is also very common

#

most of the time I use
clefable unaware
pex and tangrowth regen
i have used mguard recently but that was on sand

quiet salmon
#

regen is just an insanely good abil to have especially in a high variability metagame like this one

#

vastly improves the longevity of your midgrounders

snow pike
#

yeah definitely
unrelated but
https://pokepast.es/23041087cd3f1cf9
need to know if this could work
aegi im definitely unsure of but I don't know what'd be a good mon to do something like that

U think a kyorge would be a good pick for showdown

actually does anyone have an example fusion team?

hexed lotus

should I be using gliscor defensively more?

#

the good thing about it is poison heal, so it doesn't need to be very offensive

minor cradle
#

well thats the main point of jt

snow pike
#

What is better with Sand Stream, Ttar/Gligar or Ttar/Gliscor

minor cradle
#

the biggest point of gliscor is poison heal and idk why'd you'd use gligar sure u get eviolite but being more liable to knock off and having more stats isnt rly worth it

snow pike
#

It does have to look out for knock off a bit more, but it is a huge SpD mon in the Sandstorm to the point it can shrug of super effective moves with ease, I have a knock absorber on my team so it's not that big of a deal
And it allows me to if I really need to, use pheal gliscor on the team too, who is also immune to sand as a head which might be handy on a sand team

void willow
#

I used to run Ttar/Scyther with Eviolite quite some time ago to set rocks and pivot; its special bulk is absolutely ludicrous but yeah anything with Eviolite is extra vulnerable to Knock Off

gusty parrot
#

is fusion showdown its own website? or is it a setting for showdown?

gusty parrot
#

i need a good suggestion for a forretress fusion

#

i need a mon that learns u-turn has good special defense and good attack to fuse with forretress

#

oh yeah i alr found tha website

#

i tried gliscor with forretress but it needs more special defense and also toxapex doesnt have enough offensive power

#

nvm scyther works

gusty parrot
#

i alr used scyther

#

also uhh is merciless venoshock a good strat?

#

i tried it on eternatus for balanced hackmons and for some reason it just almost never did higher than 50% even with nasty plot and idk why like the enemy was poisoned

#

also im doing it on charizard so it has less special attack

gusty parrot
#

whats a good support mon like amoongus that has a custom sprite with like whimsicott or sableye

quiet salmon
#

amoonguss doesnt exist in the meta so it doesnt get a custom sprite

quiet salmon
#

even in gen 7 bh it struggles without scales bc its just difficult to consistently poison mons

#

if you dont poison you do no damage if you do poison you do somewhat better than normal but its just too much setup thats inconsistent

#

not to mention you have to use pex

gusty parrot
#

oh yeah i know i replaced that idea by using chatgpt for ideas and i have way better pokemons rn but i cant really battle no ones on gen 9 if ag national dex

#

ive been waiting for like 50 minutes ngl

minor cradle
#

do be cooking...

icy scroll

So I made a gen 7 anything goes team to beat a friend, put mega Mewtwo y in because he had a mega Rayquaza, (and blizzard kills his whole team) and proceeded to hit blizzard 11 times in a roe

#

Is that a lot?

loud eagle
#

Assuming there wasn’t hail, no guard, compound eyes, wide lens or anything else that affects accuracy, the chances of hitting eleven 70% accuracy moves in a row is 0.7^11 which is about 1.4% which makes it rare but something you would expect to see once every 75 games or so

how do you hit blizzard 11 times when it has 8 pp

Looking for teambuilding experts to test a new tournament format!

Hi everyone, I'm a YouTuber hosting an invite only tournament with a unique format but need some help testing the format and some additional details.

If you're a teambuilding enthusiast and have a few hours free over the next couple days, DM me on here. Note that it's not fusions currently but the format could be accommodating, just need solid teambuilders which Fusions enthusiasts tend to be 🙂

I'm extra interested in your input if you:

  • played a lot of high ladder Gen6 OU
  • love talking about meta and matchups
  • have experience with draft leagues and/or TCGs (specifically limited formats)

anyone know a good Lucario fusion for a sandstorm team

snow pike
#

Lucario isn't really good

#

There may be a fusion but it's only niche as a fighting and steel type is extreme speed as far as im aware

quiet salmon
#

ppl have used sylveon lucario but idt its good

#

requires sd to have any power

sterile glacier
#

Lucario just isn't quite fast or hard-hitting enough for modern Pokemon

minor cradle

I mean its good enough statwise

#

the real issue is

#

there are better fusions

#

dnite for espeed, for fighting u have melo-p, for steel (fake) u have metagross jirachi

Disagree on the good stats, agree with everything else though

thats what it is

#

!!!

Who is better?

im aiming for slowphan but im not sure

#

the other one has better defenses overall

#

Also what is a good moveset?

#

spin scald knock?

minor cradle
#

spin and knock r the main things u get from donphan so yeah use those

#

eq too ig

#

u can use whatever

gusty burrow

That one stall team Anaconja used has/had a slowbro/donphan, its a good regen pivot with spin. Very passive though

honest umbra
#

https://pokepast.es/3dec992d4f0dafd0

I have concerns with moveset choices with sylveon/tox and kyurem/krookodile,

not super attached to the mons besides the type cores of fighting/dark/fairy and defensive fairy/steel/dragon

Sweepers lose to strong priority pretty badly due to frailty, feels week agaisnt faster sweepers like hax/slash in the sand (cloud nine ice type????)

don't feel super motivated to fix it myself

have fun tearing this shit apart because I made it in like ten minutes lol

what does telekenisis even do oH_lord

Ok, I was more of a casual player but I've read up on some comp strats and I think I cooked up a doubles team here:

#

Bobo: Bulky Wish Cleric. Can set Toxic Spikes, Bunker if Protect is needed. otherwise, he can sub in mid-match to Wish into Parting Shot to heal someone. Definitely going to be my Ace.
Tricky Richard: Prankster Trick Room setter. This is gonna be a Trick Room team.
Fat Dragon: Bulky Physical guy. Mainly added for type coverage and to utilize Unaware to try and halt sweepers.

#

Happy Boi: Toxic Orb + Poison Heal Bulky Physical Attacker. Has Swords Dance if he can set up.
Derpisauras: Choice Band Mold Breaker. Another Bulky Physical guy.
Fat Rose: Fast Choice Specs Attacker. In case the Trick Room plan Fails or I need to rely on SpA to crack through a High Defense Wall.

#

Probably not the best team, but that's my first go at a draft. Could probably turn this into a Singles team by swapping out Tricky Richard for a Prankster Spikes setter instead with Murkcrow+Fortress or something.

minor cradle
#

this is

#

a doubles team...?

maiden pulsar
#

That was the intent. But again, I'm not too keen on Comp matches. Just a casual player trying to make a Double team cause Trick Room is best in Doubles, yea?

minor cradle
#

Yeah this does seem like a casual player team

maiden pulsar
#

I figured. What's the go to ideas for a Doubles Team? Will the Umbreon/Tox fit on a doubles team at all?

minor cradle

well since ur tryna do tr lets just say ur tryna make a tr doubles team

#

i'll just try and givr an example of a full tr team for doubles

Yea, cause the entire team can change, but the Umbreon/Pax Fusion is the only expection. I want to have an Umbreon Fusion somewhere on the team.

minor cradle
#

random tr team i made

#

u can run this if u want umbreon ig

#

probably better?

sterile glacier
#

Doubles is generally a faster paced meta, thus making entry hazards much less useful

minor cradle
#

i mean its fine in doubles 6v6, slotting it is harder though

muted nimbus
#

Old team of mine

quiet salmon
#

its got the look of a webs ho team but not nearly enough setup

muted nimbus
#

what should i add?

quiet salmon
#

taking things one at a time the web setter needs to have either sr or spikes (preferably sr bc it hits everything) bc you want to break sash

#

otherwise you lose to other offense teams that load sash

muted nimbus
#

like this?

quiet salmon
#

idt you need those two moves

#

taunt prevents the opp from setting up on you

muted nimbus
#

true

#

Complete suicide lead it is then

quiet salmon
#

entei is a p good physical wallbreaker on webs but dd/sd is better

muted nimbus
#

i like the immediate power of band more

quiet salmon
#

band loses you momentum against resists

#

and on ho teams you cant lose momentum

#

glaceon likewise has problems of getting forced out easily by resists (but more serious this time bc having predict between its stabs and hp ground is quite bad)

#

sylveon and rhyperior are too slow and lack setup to be effective in webs

#

hawlucha is an idea but curse only gets you +1 atk which is unimpressive

#

also never use flying press because you dont hit steels/rocks se

#

meanwhile you have severe weaknesses to espeed so id recommend something like this to replace the current hawlucha

#

iron head is considerable just for flinch chance and accuracy

#

to replace glaceon id recommend a stallbreaker that can reasonably get through unaware such as these

honest umbra
gusty burrow
#

Thats just lowering evasion with extra steps

honest umbra
#

also because i definitely clicked magnet rise

#

i was very tired

I was confused by that comment because of that sorry lol

For fun I combined my ultra moon and violet playthrough teams with fusions, I'm wasn't really sure what to do with Tauros/Lycanroc and Maushold/Hawlucha, there just wasn't much left that could fuse well

#

maus removes the hazards and deals like 3 dmg lol

gusty burrow

Goes from minus 5 to minus 4?

Melo-P / Lycanroc-Midnight is a fusion I got hit with once and it seems great

  • Mankey's Paw raises your crit ratio by three stages but halves your accuracy (which no guard negates)
  • rest is self-explanatory, especially since stone edge is basically 150 bp
minor cradle
#

Too bad no guard mankeys paw is gonna get fixed soon

minor cradle
#

annoying ass bug

gleaming otter
minor cradle
#

first time i've seen somebody not use machamp or golurk for dynamic punch with this

minor cradle
#

Mankeys paw isnt supposed to be workable with noguard

#

should still be 50%

minor cradle
#

but its shit anyways

gleaming otter
#

Not sure how they'd code that though.

minor cradle
#

Doesnt work here so shouldn't work on showdown

glacial eagle
#

Made a team for gen 7 IF dex OU.

quiet salmon
# glacial eagle https://pokepast.es/2727393a67869a18

aegislashabsol is bad - none of the stats are particularly high, super luck is a very mid ability (night slash hits 105 50% of the time but you couldve just used knock off for 97.5 100% of the time), and the gimmick of clicking autotomize + specthief is pretty hosed by the fact that your sash will often be broken by hazards
my advice is to have a defensive aegislash fusion, something like milotic/aegislash or clefable/aegislash who have the bulk to take hits

sylvern fell off hard with boomburst ban and is now pretty much unusuable because the damage output is simply not there anymore. 105 spa does not cut it without a 156 bp move. also defog is middling when things like ttar/clefable set rocks and dont care about its attacks and just whittle it down

jirachininjask is simply too gimmicky to work - sure you can spam iron head somewhat but some of the most common regen walls are water or steel (and a lot of steel resists just wall you anyway through sheer bulk) so you dont really do anything. also wish on a 316 hp mon is very bad
if you want serene grace then id recommend something with setup like jirachihaxorus, as ddance makes it actually deal damage and becomes very annoying to deal with defensively

toxapexquagsire simply lacks bulk to pull off unaware and poison/ground is not impressive physdef wise (you are weak to eq)
itd be much better if it were something like quagsiresteelix or clefablesuicune or clefabledusclops as those have much more bulk and less exploitable typings

banetteambipom lacks power - similar to ambipom, fake out is easily walled by stuff like steels/waters and because you didnt put any speed evs you just lose to setup sweepers before you can click specthief
if you want a revengekiller look into sylveondragonite or ursaringdragonite

kingerhaxorus has no sheer force boosted moves, that kind of speaks for itself
if you want a water scarfer you could use kinglermeloettapiruoette though i doubt its viability bc cc is not boosted either

glacial eagle
#

From what I'm seeing, my team is too gimmicky and lacks enough raw power to justify any of the gimmicks.

quiet salmon
#

the team has not enough defensive mons while not having the momentum to support its offensive mons mostly

glacial eagle
#

Is there anywhere I can find a list of viable fusions for different purposes? So I can get a better idea of how to make them.

quiet salmon
#

unfortunately not

#

best there is is my tier list ig

#

might make some role compendium if im motivated enough

glacial eagle
#

Guess I'll just have to figure out some better sets.

glacial eagle
quiet salmon
#

(outdated though bc this was pre boomburst ban/permaweather)

#

id move ttar to a-, aurorus to b- while dropping noivern to like d

#

if you post your revised team i can take a look again

glacial eagle
#

I will, later when I'm more free.

#

Maybe test it out with you if you want.

gleaming otter
#

this is definitely old enough so not a lot of comments to be made but that stuck out to me

quiet salmon
#

it didnt appear on the tiermaker

#

i put aegislash as the placeholder

gleaming otter
#

ah

#

it'd be fair enough to bump it up to A+ or even S

#

spectral thief eviolite is so so good

sudden girder
#

may I ask why slowbro is so much lower than slowking?
Is the extra special bulk that valuable or is it something else?

gleaming otter
sudden girder
#

i guess that makes sense

#

thanks

gleaming otter
#

although tbh I don't think slowking is particularly good

sudden girder
#

I quite enjoy slowbro tbh

gleaming otter
#

retyped that

#

slowbro is good with doublade
slowking feels worse than just running snorlax with gliscor/golbat and calling it a day

sudden girder
#

Snorlax/Golbat?

I am unfamiliar with that one, what does it do?

gleaming otter
#

which leads to you checking ice types

sudden girder
#

oh that sounds fun

#

is porygon 2 good?

gleaming otter
# sudden girder oh that sounds fun

it is
the sheer bulk means that you get 3hko'd by electrode-alakazam's thunderbolt

which isn't particularly useful but it is ridiculous that you can do that

gleaming otter
#

252 SpA Abomasnow Blizzard vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Eviolite Thick Fat Golbat: 68-84 (14.5 - 18%) -- possible 6HKO

#

also funny stats like that

sudden girder
#

how does it do into nidoking?

#

Jolteon/Nidoking for example

gleaming otter
#

you get 3hko'd by jolteon/nidoking thunderbolt though

sudden girder
#

oh wow

gleaming otter
#

although

#

you can run earthquake

#

and just beat it on switch-in

sudden girder
#

i have been using a clefable/Porygon2 fusion to combat special attackers

#

But I might swap

gleaming otter
#

👍
I think snorcor is still noticeably better due to passive recovery/a good moveset but snorbat isn't horribly far behind and has it's use cases

sudden girder
#

fair but I already use Gliscor/Rhyperior on my team

gleaming otter
#

fair

sudden girder
#

any good rapid spinners?

#

my team is lacking in hazard removal atm

gleaming otter
#

for hazard removal it's mostly the rare defogger

#

forretress also has volt switch so it's not actually bad

#

you could make something work with tentacruel I guess

quiet salmon
gleaming otter
sudden girder
#

But Gliscor fusion already have 4mss so I dont think it can fit

gleaming otter
sudden girder
#

Yes it is an abomination

gleaming otter
#

exxeguthorn is definitely a meme

#

the rest of the team is fine though

#

not really a meme

sudden girder
#

I quite like eggy for punishing uturn and its also best way ferrotthorn keeps its typing while getting access to reliable recovery.
Or maybe I missed some mon

gleaming otter
sudden girder
#

Tangrowth doesnt give ferro access to a recovery move and it becomes quite vulnerable to knock, as eggys main purpose is punishing contact moves and being a sudo knock absorber

gleaming otter
sudden girder
#

oh wow i totally missed that.

Still doesnt solve the knock problem

gleaming otter
#

@sudden girder that was me by the way haha

#

my strategy for dealing with silly stuff like the starmie fusion was to have the sixth slot in my stall team be an extreme speed fusion

sudden girder
#

that isnt really stall then?
rather bulky offense

sudden girder
gleaming otter
sudden girder
gleaming otter
#

but this is fair enough

sudden girder
#

No it cant But it is something to switch in after you got a K.O.

Not like anything switches into a adaptability rain choice specs STAB boosted Surf.

#

and its something starmie doesnt want to switch in if eggy is full hp.
I didnt expect the fireblast from Nido so good teambuilding there?
Seems kinda antisynergistic with rain tbh

gleaming otter
minor cradle

when i say unmon i meant a not stall pokemon

quiet salmon

kinda confusing though ngl

#

what is unmon
unaware?

#

anti meta?

gleaming otter
snow pike
#

So a shitmon

gleaming otter
#

more or less

#

https://pokepast.es/438a46e5472ec5d0 oldish suicune/gliscor gen 7 IF team

  • Ninetales/Entei's main purpose is to put pressure on bulkier/stall structures but outside of those it struggles to do much
  • Suicor has won more games singlehandedly than any pokemon on this list. If the opponent's electric type is doing it can more or less win on the spot but even w/o ever clicking calm mind it does great as a phys wall
snow pike
#

but more respectful sounding heehee

gleaming otter
minor cradle
#

i thought it made enough sense 🤷‍♂️

#

so i just said unmon

snow pike
#

I don't really build teams like this but I'd like to know, is this a realistic stall breaker to come across or are other mons used

#

being weak to scald obviously making this already sound less ideal

gleaming otter
#

so it does the job

#

although this is like

#

unusable in a lot of matchups

#

this also gets stopped by a lanturn/goodra fusion but these are pretty niche

#

also no setup is unfortunate

minor cradle
#

would get at least

#

2 ko's if used properly

#

i'd prefer a diff mon though since this isnt going to do much defensively and not to mention its low speed

gleaming otter
#

I have not seen a single kecleon fusion

#

For good reason, yes, but I'm sure there's like, a non-shitmon fusion that could work

gleaming otter
#

trying to make a trick room team (for the sake of seeing how far I can go)

most of the difficulty has just been finding mons that can abuse trick room enough

a lot of these mons underwhelm more than I'd like

sudden girder
#

ampharos Reuniclus maybe?

#

Tail glow + Magic guard/Regen do seem like good tools

native helm
native helm
#

No idea what's banned. Probably. Slaking fusions sound cracked

#

The premise is the same, though - finding pokemon that operate like trick room Victini

gleaming otter
native helm
#

so like instead of slaking, maybe metagross

sudden girder
#

maybe feraligator with Flareon? base 121 attack sheerforce life orb boosted Liquadations and flareblitzes do sound juicy : or is base 69 speed to fast?

native helm
#

69 speed is too fast for most trick room teams

sudden girder
#

fair

native helm
#

awkward base speed for both normal and trick room setups

sudden girder
#

but arent most fast mons in this game like 100 plus?

native helm
#

the like 60-80 base speed is weird

sudden girder
#

ye makes sense

native helm
#

this is coming from VGC/Smogon Singles formats knowledge

#

idk how fast this format's meta is

#

or even what's used lol

#

trick room pokemon like taking advantage of moves like Gyro ball

#

so some Ferrothorn fusions might be interesting

sudden girder
#

aggron?

native helm
#

yeah aggron's a good body pokemon

#

high base Atk, Def, low base speed

#

but does body pass on its steel or rock typing, I forget

sudden girder
#

so ferro head aggron body?

#

does get walled by steels tho

native helm
#

sure but you have access to leech seed ingrain

#

you can probably stall them out

#

(if typing isnt trash)

sudden girder
#

wait no aggron rhyperior

native helm
#

yeah grass rock is rough

sudden girder
#

ground rock

native helm
#

ground rock holds it back a lot

#

rhyperior aggron is probably better

#

that being said

#

56 SpD means it probably dies to like a flamethrower anyways

#

100 base health tho

sudden girder
#

rhyperior machamp?

native helm
#

now we're cooking

sudden girder
#

base 106 hp aint bad

#

133 base attack + guts and ground fighting?

native helm
#

ground fighting is a mean physical combo

sudden girder
#

with 50 base speed

native helm
#

yeah

sudden girder
#

well thats one down

#

maybe a special attacker next?

#

to bad bloodmoon aint here

native helm
#

Guts is listed as a hidden ability though

#

so you might only have access to no guard / solid rock

#

terrible typing

#

but

#

a Guts rampardos is one hell of a wallbreaker

sudden girder
#

nah we talking smogon here

#

so abilities aint a problem

native helm
#

oh i see

sudden girder
#

does die to mach punch tho

native helm
#

thought hidden abilities were an issue

#

yeah

#

that's true

sudden girder
#

luckily i havent seen that move in forever

native helm
#

set up misty terrain for speed control

#

but at that point that's a lot of support for 1 mon

sudden girder
#

you only have 5 turns of trick room

native helm
#

lots of the trick room offenders I know aren't around

#

beeheyem, indeedee

#

escava, emboar, etc.

sudden girder
#

reuniclus?

native helm
#

Reuniclus is here at least

sudden girder
#

sylveon?

native helm
#

sylveon is used on trick rooms?

sudden girder
#

I dont know

#

base 60 speed does seem usable

native helm
#

could probably fuse it decently with reuniclus

sudden girder
#

fairy psychic?

native helm
#

fairy psychic is alright

sudden girder
#

doesnt it get walled by steels?

native helm
#

yeah but it doesn't get walled much by anything else

sudden girder
#

like yeah you got focus blast but thats focus miss

native helm
#

it's a combo that helps but isn't carrying the mon

sudden girder
#

what ability?

#

it got 3 great ones

#

life orb with magic guard?

#

regen

#

or pixalate?

native helm
#

Reuniclus body looks better
regenerator might be interesting if you have like an intimidate U-turn pivot mon

#

wait is the standard format singles or doubles?

sudden girder
#

singles

#

its not even my team

native helm
#

ik

#

I just like cooking

sudden girder
#

krokodile get parting shot this game

#

would it work?

native helm
#

gross

#

gimme a sec to cook

#

so its base stats have okay hp, but mediocre defenses

#

typing is ground dark, we can cook real good with those

#

poison dark is almost enough to carry things like Drapion higher than it deserves to be

#

and things like Water/Ground are really mean too

sudden girder
#

so what do you have in mind?

#

maybe something with self sustain?

native helm
#

looking through rn

sudden girder
#

intimaders should stick around no?

native helm
#

yeah but we'd be looking more to pair with like fake-out and decent bulk

#

typing is also a consideration

#

Inciniroar is the bar to beat, basically

#

95/90/90 defenses with fire/dark typing, only weak to fighting ground rock and water which are 3/4 for physical types

#

parting shot, fake out, flare blitz, knock off

#

so i'm seeing if I can cook something meaner than one of the meanest VGC mons

sudden girder
#

why fake out?

#

aint fake out mid in singles?

#

btw arbok/umbreon (umbreon also gets parting shot and it has wish)

native helm
#

fake out is mid so it's not that high of a priority

#

it's mostly only there to break sturdy/sash

#

disguise too

#

but I don't think it flinches in that case

sudden girder
#

mimikyu is banned

#

so no disguise

native helm
#

good

sudden girder
#

disguise shellsmash is just to tasty

#

or quiver with volc

native helm
#

oh yeah lmao

#

is it pre or post nerf disguise?

#

bootleg lando-T

#

a little faster than you want your intimidate pivot to be tho

Sprite by Japeal Fusion Generator.

sudden girder
#

love the sprite

native helm
#

yea autogen sprites are goofy

sudden girder
#

what typ?

native helm
#

ground steel is alright typing, access to leech seed, parting shot, intimidate

#

slow so as a lead or out of trick room it can take hits, but can gyro ball in trick room reliably so it's also pretty mean as a janitor

sudden girder
#

ah

#

seems decent

#

how bout ferro luxray?

#

base 36 speed

native helm
#

steel electric?

sudden girder
#

102 attack

#

ye

#

and guts

native helm
#

yeah also pretty mean

sudden girder
#

and its bulk aint horrible

native helm
#

intimidate probably more meaningful than guts though

#

since any ferro fusion is a defensive one

sudden girder
#

this one wouldnt be

#

it would be an offensive trickroom gyroball spammer

#

you could also go ursaring ferrt

#

if you want a 4x fighting weakness rather than a 4x ground weakness

native helm
#

Luxray is 100% a fusion I keep in mind though, mono electric means it's really good at making somethings type better

#

limited mostly by a weak movepool, monotype, and speed in base game

sudden girder
#

it still suffers from being a physical electric typ
