idk how you saw that

#

i bet i would miss a million shinies in those games icant

#

that deerling looks like the summer/autumn season deerling to me

sterile agate
#

I made a habit of checking deerling when I was shiny hunting them in my other game

vestal vessel
#

ah

sterile agate
#

Because it’s a super subtle one

vestal vessel
#

I just felt a bad vibe

#

there is a chance i killed a zigzagoon shiny a few days ago

#

i hope that isnt the case

sterile agate
#

You can check your Pokédex

#

If there’s a shiny option you did

vestal vessel
sterile agate
#

@vestal vessel ok so mythical. Legendarys. And paradox are all banned. Pseudos are back

#

So raging bolt is gone

#

I’m thinking dragonite fits the team really well with hurricane. But goodra also does

vestal vessel
#

both are good

#

terra normal dragonite is still decent even without chien pao

#

but sap sipper goodra is nice too

sterile agate
#

Better then azu

vestal vessel
#

also there isnt a shiny option in my pokedex so im safe

#

still forced to take a day off tho

upper temple
#

Didn't miss it

sterile agate
#

do you think running 2 dragons is bad

upper temple
#

Nah

sterile agate
#

also aparently i get 2 spare pokemon if i wanna switch out weekly

sterile agate
#

i need an ice spinner

#

there is so much terrian

#

i think azu is actually a solid pick

sterile agate
#

ok @vestal vessel what should my draft order be, obv peliper first

#

but do you think i should grab like dragonite or rotom wash second

vestal vessel
#

dragonite > goodra/rotom > araquanid

#

imo

#

you are most likely the only one whos going for feraligatr so i guess second pick dragonite because its one of the best pokemon with all the op mons banned

#

i think

steep crow
#

Any shiny hunters over here peeposus

#

Anyone tryna shiny hunt sometimes in swsh dynamax raids, shits rough solo

vestal vessel
#

also most, legendaries and all the op mons being banned kinda broke my brain 2_Pepega

#

im used to playing against all of those in every match

#

so im lowkey clueless for that draft format

upper temple
#

Just means the games simpler

vestal vessel
#

no landorus + tornadus or chien pao + dragonite in every team preview, what a beautiful sight

upper temple
#

I use 1 of those tho 2_SadPepe

vestal vessel
#

I use landorus

#

btw im almost at 2k zigzagoon encounters ok

upper temple
sterile agate
#

so its like a 13 person draft so there like a solid chance dragonite get drafted fbefore it gets back around to me

#

and its snake draft

vestal vessel
#

carried by thunder wave

upper temple
#

Paralysis so broken at least its not early gens tho despairegon

sterile agate
#

@vestal vessel need help, last min rule change we are doing doubles national dex, only thing thats banned is legendarys and gimmicks like megas and paradox

#

should i switch out of rain team for something much stronger

vestal vessel
#

uhhhh

#

how much time left for you to pick your team?

sterile agate
#

all day

#

till 8ish my time

vestal vessel
#

i think you should be fine

#

the main threats from national dex are the legendary pokemon

#

like tornadus and landorus

#

is ogerpon allowed?

#

idk if she counts as a legendary pokemon or what

sterile agate
#

nope

#

but im looking at sand teams

#

and they have it kinda lit

vestal vessel
sterile agate
#

with dracovish

vestal vessel
#

also one pokemon i recommend is either a fast u-turn pokemon or prankster parting shot

#

like grimmsnarl

#

because torkoal will be always be slower than pelipper meaning they get sun up

#

sand team with dracovish? 2_monkaHmm

#

oh it gets sand rush

#

you are allowed to change your pokemon sets and abilities between games right?

#

@ most

sterile agate
#

yes

vestal vessel
#

sand team fr

#

i just made that so dont trust that

#

if you know the person you are gonna battle is a trick room player you could change excadrills ability to be sand force instead of sand rush

#

as for the other 2 pokemon you could pick a grass type

#

rillaboom and among us are good options

sterile agate
#

thats pretty much what i was looking at too

vestal vessel
#

whimsicott can be okay if you dont want to deal with it

sterile agate
#

i was also looking at ursaluna

vestal vessel
#

ehhh ursaluna cant play the game

#

if trick room is not up

sterile agate
#

oh true

vestal vessel
#

you could replace incineror with hitmontop to get intimidate too

#

but you get access to wide guard

#

your last pokemon could be an annoying prankster pokemon like murkrow or grimnsnarl

sterile agate
#

hisuin goodra could also fit instead of dragonite

#

slow tho

#

but sap sipper

upper temple
#

Calling my boi annoying 2_SadPepe

#

Ur not wrong but still

vestal vessel
#

i chose dragonite to oneshot pranksters like whimsicott

#

and to get a ground immunity

sterile agate
#

oh true

#

what do you think the draft order should be

vestal vessel
#

tyranitar or excadrill first

#

i guess excadrill because your next best option is alolan dugtrio which has 30 less attack than excadrill

#

lets pretend this is your team
excadrill, tyranitar, dragonite = incineroar, rillaboom, murkrow is its still up, and then the other two

#

in that order

#

instead of rillaboom you could go for among us but idk

#

i just made this team in 10 minutes icant

sterile agate
#

true

vestal vessel
#

you need murkrow or a pokemon than can reset stats for sure

#

without all the op pokemon people might come up with weird strats to get to max attack and stuff like that

#

and to not insta lose to dondozo

#

but who knows

#

maybe im thinking you are gonna play against 20 fakers and they might not even be that good srs

sterile agate
#

the trick room user is an expanding force spammer

#

so

vestal vessel
#

hmmmm

sterile agate
#

dark types goodge

#

i was gonna tera dark my feraligatr and crunch them

vestal vessel
#

rillaboom to get rid of their terrain fr

vestal vessel
sterile agate
#

ice spinner dragonite

vestal vessel
#

once again, please dont trust my teams, i made them up really fast, they are just suggestions fr

#

oh true

upper temple
#

Ment have confidence ur a god

sterile agate
#

@vestal vessel what do you think of gliscor

#

inciniroar and dragonite got stolen

vestal vessel
#

IM SO SORRY I WAS BUSY

#

hmmmm

sterile agate
#

np

#

im down to one more pick

#

i have ttar dracovish murkrow, exadrill, krookodile, gliscor
and for spare i have scizor

#

i need one more

#

might run the normal sandrush dog

vestal vessel
#

ACTUALLY

#

THE DOG IS NICE

#

which dog

#

stoutland

#

?

sterile agate
#

ye

vestal vessel
#

it gets intimidate too

#

good call most

#

okay it gets decents support moves

#

and good coverage

#

i like that pick

#

i forgot about it because it doesnt show on showdown

sterile agate
#

LOL yeah national dex got weird

vestal vessel
#

there are probably some other pokemon i just didnt think about for the exact same reason

#

also we missed the chance of doing something evil

#

look at stoutland egg moves wokeGe

#

after you howl and yawn

sterile agate
#

these the teams

#

the revive explosion team looks scary

sterile agate
vestal vessel
#

i respect abbys and ries picks

#

abby has a bunch of stuff i would pick fr

sterile agate
#

thats the trick room user

vestal vessel
#

bunch of stuff = liligant and torkoal icant

#

also i mean no disrespect to fuu

#

but they have the potential to have the most annoying team ever

#

I believe in you most 2_peepoHappy

#

if you want me to use their teams for practice just let me know

sterile agate
#

yeah i might

#

fuu has a explosion revive team

vestal vessel
#

let them cook

sterile agate
#

might tera ghost

#

to counter the explosions

vestal vessel
#

i mean the excadrill tyranitar lead already resists explosion + intimidate for stoutland

sterile agate
#

and krook has intimidate

vestal vessel
#

you are chilling ok

sterile agate
#

or do you think i should run moxie

vestal vessel
#

it depends on the matchup

#

also i was expecting dondozo tatsugiri from someone

#

but i dont see them picked

#

I guess they are nice people

sterile agate
#

it got banned lol

vestal vessel
#

ah

sterile agate
#

bunch of people wanted it

vestal vessel
#

and i cant blame them tbh

sterile agate
#

do i run dragon rush on dracovish

#

since outrage in doubles is yikes

vestal vessel
#

isnt dragon rush a move with like 80 accuracy 2_monkaGIGA

sterile agate
#

yeah

#

its the only other physical drgon move he gets

vestal vessel
#

no dragon claw?

#

yikes

sterile agate
#

might run draco meteor because it doesnt matter?

vestal vessel
#

if dragonite has outrage as one of its main moves

#

i dont see why dracovish couldnt use it too

sterile agate
#

i have a drop and pick up tomorrow

#

what do you think about dracozolt

vestal vessel
#

hmmm

sterile agate
#

cant EQ with it on board

#

but its move pool is so much stronger

vestal vessel
#

what moves does it get

sterile agate
#

everything

vestal vessel
#

besides that one electric moves

sterile agate
#

and boltbeak with his an electric fishouce rend

#

its movepool is like 2x dracovish

#

WAIT

#

dracovish gets stomping tantrum

vestal vessel
#

but you also get another ground weakness hmmm 2_monkaHmm

sterile agate
#

we run dragon rush

vestal vessel
#

bet

#

the only one i would replace is gliscor

#

but idk what else you could use

sterile agate
#

thats what i was saying lol

sterile agate
#

i think mr lyte has my number ngl

#

i really struggle against water

upper temple
#

U got this

sterile agate
#

Reuniclus would have been a good pick

upper temple
#

Reuniclus is lit ok

sterile agate
#

gonna drop scizor for him tomorrow

#

better image for my draft

vestal vessel
#

why reuniclus? 2_monkaHmm

sterile agate
#

type coverage, good in sand,

#

better then scizor anyways

#

im againt omni in week1

vestal vessel
#

ez match

sterile agate
#

It’s so much fighting

vestal vessel
#

omni is not gonna have a nice time against abby 2_PepeLaugh

sterile agate
#

Tho I think I put speed with Sandrush

vestal vessel
#

i would personally take farigiraf over reuniclus but its just my opinion

sterile agate
#

I mean I can always go the trusty sigilyf

vestal vessel
#

i can build a team with omnis pokemon so you can then practice

#

if you want to ofc

sterile agate
#

Yea I do

#

Lmk when your available

vestal vessel
upper temple
vestal vessel
#

I did what i could srs

sterile agate
#

whats your name on showdown?

vestal vessel
#

Disappointment_8

#

bro

#

this dude

#

made his entire team

#

weak against fighting and ground

sterile agate
#

LOL

#

did you know krook got darkest lariate

vestal vessel
#

nope

sterile agate
#

its kinda funny

vestal vessel
#

is that choice band tyranitar?

sterile agate
#

yeah

vestal vessel
#

poor omni

#

insta loses against you

#

abby

#

and terry

#

and ries

#

surely omni can come up with a better team but man

sterile agate
#

his draft was right under me

vestal vessel
#

again?

sterile agate
#

yeah sure

vestal vessel
#

omni might actually be a beast we dont know yet

sterile agate
#

do you think toxic spikes is to slow

#

for doubles

vestal vessel
#

too slow

upper temple
vestal vessel
#

by the time you set up 2 toxic spikes or even one

#

the battle is basically over

sterile agate
#

yeah

#

ima find a new move

vestal vessel
#

honestly, this one was winnable, i just thought you were going to protect that turn

#

with gliscor

sterile agate
#

i played poorly

vestal vessel
#

go again

#

i really think this team has the best chance of taking your team down icant

sterile agate
#

knock off is kinda nuts

#

if he plays like that i would be suprised

vestal vessel
#

i mean no disrespect when i say this

#

but judging by the team

#

dont expect him to play like that

sterile agate
#

i do mean disrespect when i say this, hes not a good pokemon trainer

vestal vessel
#

like i mean in it in the nicest way possible

sterile agate
#

i play league with him

#

lol

vestal vessel
#

ah

sterile agate
#

is expertbelt krook ok or should i go something else

vestal vessel
#

#

vestal vessel
#

hmmmm

#

the coverage is nice

#

but he is still slow

#

expert belt is nice but i think choice scarf would feel better

sterile agate
#

yeah maybe

vestal vessel
#

also i would replace brave bird on murkrow with tailwind

#

in case you messed up or they outplay you with other weather

#

also see how nice prnkaster haze was in that last game?

sterile agate
#

yeah

vestal vessel
#

im proud of myself for recommending that murkrow fr

sterile agate
#

someone was so mad i took murkrow

#

like actual rage on the draft call LOL

vestal vessel
sterile agate
#

i like the extra damage from lifeorb on exadrill but i think switching to airbaloon is better

#

and assaultvest on dracofish

vestal vessel
#

also trick room armarouge could unironically work

#

with this team against yours specifically

#

hmmmm

#

assault vest could be very useful against alakazam and armarouge

#

and lucario

#

but then again you are faster than them

sterile agate
#

lucario is a bit of a problem on that team

vestal vessel
#

I only see you losing if they are crazy enough to run trick room

#

or if they get tailwind up

sterile agate
#

but i have a strong feeling they are gonna go on smogon, take the first set, and call it a day

vestal vessel
sterile agate
#

so the extreamspeed set lol

vestal vessel
#

i could be evil an run sunny day on alakazam srs

#

i mean it could happen

sterile agate
#

LOL

upper temple
#

Sunny day ala kinda heat

vestal vessel
#

earthquake madge

sterile agate
#

LOL

#

EQ spam strong with all these flying types

vestal vessel
#

okay one last battle

#

i changed some of the team

sterile agate
#

well this for sure is not happening LOL

vestal vessel
#

evil omni be like:

sterile agate
#

LOL

vestal vessel
#

this team

#

isnt so bad in trick room fr

#

honestly you can shut down that strat if omni copies my exact set

#

on armarouge

#

if you lead with murkrow + excadrill/dracovish

#

taunt with murkrow and protect the other pokemon

#

next turn swtich out murkrow for tyranitar and attack

sterile agate
#

Also I still don’t know what to do for gliscor

#

Maybe facade

vestal vessel
#

im pretty sure its doing things because this team is basically weak to gliscor

#

everything was either weak to ground or flying srs

#

nah

#

for this match specifically x scissors doesnt do much

#

sure it hits alakazam but alakazam could probably die to an aipom using fake out

sterile agate
#

i wanna try something

#

rematch me lol

vestal vessel
#

same armarouge team

#

or back to blaziken?

sterile agate
#

blaziken lol

vestal vessel
#

one sec then

#

ready

sterile agate
#

gliscor much stronger yeah

vestal vessel
#

stoutland can still be useful

#

as a support

#

or even carry in some scenarios

sterile agate
#

yeah

vestal vessel
#

not in this match tho

#

like

sterile agate
#

i did misplay into it

vestal vessel
#

omni has like 1 billion fighting types

sterile agate
#

pretty bad

vestal vessel
#

we can play 1 more then

#

im down

sterile agate
#

GG

vestal vessel
#

gg

#

pangoro kinda slaps

sterile agate
#

yeah im suprised

vestal vessel
#

we live in a world where decidueye works better as a support than as a damage dealer

upper temple
#

Balance

sterile agate
#

I mean when I do fight omni I’m gonna knock off EQ spam the fuck outta him

#

Also pursuit is an option I can take.

vestal vessel
#

ehhh

#

locking yourself using pursuit

#

can be kinda bad

#

prankster thunder wave over brave bird can also be decent

#

or over foul play

#

in this match

sterile agate
#

I was thinking about thunder wave

vestal vessel
#

when you gonna battle omni?

sterile agate
#

sometime this week

#

just whenever we want

vestal vessel
#

ah

#

well if you need more practice let me know ok

sterile agate
#

yeah what do you think hes gonna do with cinderace

vestal vessel
#

lose if he brings it against your team srs

sterile agate
#

LOL

vestal vessel
#

like is just blaziken without speedboost against a team that is fast

#

actually

#

let me calc something

#

nvm

#

i was gonna say maybe he could cook with choice scarf cinderace but excadrill still outspeeds

sterile agate
#

also do you think the flying t-tar is a good choice

vestal vessel
#

against omni for sure

sterile agate
#

yeah

vestal vessel
#

but if you see cindearce expect it to do the same as blaziken

#

strong fire move, high jump kick/low kick, protect

#

and maybe u-turn

vestal vessel
#

@fallen bloom did you check dms? 2_monkaHmm

vestal vessel
upper temple
sterile agate
#

im kinda curious to see if abby can take on ries in round one

vestal vessel
#

im an abby believer

#

ries will most likely lead with gholdengo to try to stop trick room

#

so the torkoal liligant lead is extra safe, after you + eruption = good

#

and ries doesnt have an actual fire resistance or a psychic resitance for expanding force

sterile agate
#

if trickroom gets set up i think shell be fine yea

vestal vessel
#

meowscarada can stop trick room too and its not that common

#

it could surprise abby

sterile agate
#

hope they bring heatwave instead of eruption for that one

vestal vessel
#

what do you mean? 2_monkaHmm

vestal vessel
#

oh btw, did you trade for a new pokemon?

sterile agate
#

not yet

#

got one in mind?

#

i wonder if i can make orthworm work with all my EQ spam

vestal vessel
#

i actually liked sigilyph and reuniclus

#

and ofc my beloved farigiraf

#

any of those would be very useful against abby

#

with imprison and trick room

#

they can also be nice special attackers which is somthing you dont have on your team

#

farigiraf is really good and i never ised sigilyph and reuniclus but they are probably okay for a draft league

upper temple
#

Reuniclus is lit ok

#

Haven't used sigilyph tho

vestal vessel
#

all i know is that it gets imprison and trick room srs

sterile agate
#

i use to use a flame orb sigiliph with trick cosmic power, stored power and roost

vestal vessel
#

evil

sterile agate
#

i could pick up reuniclus with expanding force, trickroom, imprison

#

and just ruin abbys day

vestal vessel
#

sigilyph also gets that combo xdd

sterile agate
#

i think reun takes the edge on stats

vestal vessel
sterile agate
#

its kinda like health vs speed

vestal vessel
#

can you send that image

#

with everyones picks?

sterile agate
#

tho some of the teams changed, xavi dropped lilligant for klefki and abby dropped amp for tsereena

#

but thats it

vestal vessel
#

hmmmm

sterile agate
#

i think those are just for specific match ups tho

vestal vessel
#

do you get to trade 1 pokemon per week or just this time?

sterile agate
vestal vessel
#

oh bet

sterile agate
#

my battle with omni is friday

vestal vessel
#

i could be wrong but you might not need any change to deal with fu

sterile agate
#

reun on stats is just better farig

#

WAIT im blind

#

lmao

vestal vessel
#

but farig has better abilties fr

#

its up to you i guess

sterile agate
#

i like magic guard to much i think

vestal vessel
#

overcoat can be nice against amongs us or spore users

#

i saw a breloom somewhere

sterile agate
#

yeah he picked that because i stole his murkrow

#

he said he has plans

#

so

vestal vessel
#

hmmm

#

for this matchup i think fari is better because it negates last respects from basculegion

sterile agate
#

i am not excited to fight fu

vestal vessel
#

i already read fus mind pepebuddha

sterile agate
#

its just explosion revives

vestal vessel
#

turn one they are gonna try to do stuff with golem and rabsca,

#

eq excadrill if they dont have air ballon and tera grass tyranitar and click rock slide to either finish golem and to probably leave rabsca with 1 hp for it to die to sandstorm damage

#

then i think its safe to sacrifice excadrill to pawmot/wailord/basculegion to get rid of pawmot and get in stoutland

#

and just cook with murkrow and tyranitar to prevent rain dance from the little rat

#

dracovish can tank a 250 power last repects and oneshot basculegion with crunch

#

i said all of that but it could go very wrong from turn 1 fr

sterile agate
#

LOL

vestal vessel
#

you will for sure want (besides your 2 first mons) stoutland, murkrow and dracovish

#

sorry i get extra annoying when it comes to pokemon

sterile agate
#

no i am in need

#

the study think tank will previal

vestal vessel
#

idk what wailord can do

#

besides clicking self destruct

sterile agate
#

i can grab their battle on showdown when they are done

vestal vessel
#

i dont see them bringing whimsicott because like

#

what does it do

sterile agate
#

be annoying

vestal vessel
#

tailwind to still get outsped, sunny day so basulegion deals less damage

#

taunt for fun

#

and encore so you dont feel bad for spamming earthquake?

#

im like 50% sure they will bring grafaiai over whimsicott

sterile agate
#

yeah

#

the other team im worried about is mr lyte

vestal vessel
#

farigiraf is huge against that wokeGe

#

ah not really

sterile agate
#

i need storm drain or something

#

tatsugiri?

vestal vessel
#

isnt it banned?

sterile agate
#

with dondozo

#

surely i can get ether one

vestal vessel
#

despite having pelipper

#

they only get 2 water moves

#

weather ball from pelipper and liquidation from araquanid

sterile agate
#

oh no surf?

vestal vessel
#

nopers

sterile agate
#

i was like MAYBE THE CRADILY TECH

vestal vessel
#

weahter ball becomes a 100 base power water move under rain

#

araquanid is probably just there for wide guard

#

pelipper is just good

#

more than a rain team its just there so archaludon get to use that one electric type move

#

but archaludon cant really click that move when like 80% of your team is literally immune to it srs

sterile agate
#

LOL

#

FLYING T-TAR

vestal vessel
#

archaludon and rillaboom lead is tough

sterile agate
#

i could gliscor T-Tar lead

vestal vessel
#

i got the tech

sterile agate
#

EQ dual wingbeat?

#

is there a world where i pick up feraligatr for a round on any of these guys

vestal vessel
#

the tech if you really hate archaludon rillaboom is, lead with choice band tyranitar with low kick and farigiraf (if you take it) to prevent fake out and use helping hand on the first turn

#

it kills archaludon every time

#

then you cook

sterile agate
#

ok, ill pick up farig and drop sizor

vestal vessel
#

a believer

sterile agate
#

ok got it

vestal vessel
#

this is the team im thinking to deal with mr lyte

#

but thats in like

#

2 months from now on so idk why im thinking about it now srs

sterile agate
#

LMAO

#

we believe

#

also i have farig for abby

vestal vessel
#

yep

#

save this somewhere so i dont forget about the evs

NAW STOUTLAND HAS 2 MOVES, RETALIATE LAST RESORT

#

THATS IT

vestal vessel
#

as long as you keep intimidate

#

go for it

sterile agate
#

lmaoo

upper temple
#

2 moves last resort goes too hard

vestal vessel
#

I JUST SPENT LIKE 2 HOURS DOING CALCS AND STRATS, they could very well have a completely different team by the time you fight them thanks to trading srs

upper temple
#

I remember getting rekt by fake out last resort m-lop madge

sterile agate
#

ambipom

vestal vessel
#

m lopunny my beloved BlindLove

sterile agate
#

is the true goat

vestal vessel
sterile agate
#

i would have loved ambipom actually

upper temple
#

I think i used ambi like that in a monotype tourney

vestal vessel
#

I loved ambipom in sngle battles

#

kinda sus in double but its not like i had the chance to use the lil guy in sword and shield

#

he wasnt even in the game

sterile agate
#

its kinda stoutland

vestal vessel
#

fake out tho fr

sterile agate
#

yeah

upper temple
#

Its lopunny lite fr

vestal vessel
#

m Lopunny could save us from flutter mane madge

sterile agate
#

i actually wouldnt have minded megas in the formate

#

but i think it woulda been to strong

#

plus im stuck with mega t-tar???

upper temple
#

Megas r cool thats wut matters

vestal vessel
#

mega t-tar would be really nice to reset weather fr

sterile agate
#

actually

#

i would have had mega scizor

#

LOL

vestal vessel
upper temple
vestal vessel
#

or mega charizard Y

upper temple
#

I was a uu player

vestal vessel
#

but i get my beloved mega altaria back

#

hmm

#

you win this time mercurial

upper temple
#

If only i could win lp set9Apple

vestal vessel
#

:set10:

vestal vessel
sterile agate
#

wish dragonite had a mega

#

so his item would have been dragoniteite

sterile agate
#

first battle of the week

#

this is xave and seth

vestal vessel
#

I support the lopunny user ok

#

that one was close

#

encore turn 1 instead of aurora veil was kinda sus fr

sterile agate
#

Ok @vestal vessel what should be my strat against omni. Same as I was doing flying T-tar and EQ spam

vestal vessel
#

choice scarf krookodile and tyranitar lead was nice ok

#

and flying ttar was lit

sterile agate
#

do you think i should sandviel wide lense my gliscor

#

or is poison heal just better

vestal vessel
#

poison heal

#

evasion just add rng to your match

#

you might get hit every time and basically have no ability icant

sterile agate
#

true

vestal vessel
#

it could also carry you but who knows

#

up to you

sterile agate
#

i might leftovers my exadrill im not a big fan of airbaloon

vestal vessel
#

Id would go poison heal

#

or use the berry that reduce damage from fighting moves

#

or focus sash if you are not using it yet

#

or life orb/soft sand

sterile agate
#

its ether life orb or left overs

#

so prob life orb

upper temple
#

Bulky zoom lens horn drill exca fr fr

vestal vessel
#

whats your excadrill moveset

sterile agate
#

it had rapid spin

vestal vessel
#

I'd replace shadow claw wih protect fr

sterile agate
#

i just replaced it since theres not a lot of hazards

#

i was thinking that too LOL

upper temple
#

Protect op

vestal vessel
#

also remember to use tailwind on murkrow

#

to be safe

sterile agate
#

but hear me out

#

thats cringe

vestal vessel
#

like in case you lose tyranitar on turn 1

sterile agate
upper temple
#

Use my boi to its fullest

vestal vessel
#

most you already drafted him fr

#

you cant escape the cringe allegations anymore

sterile agate
#

lmaoo

#

our gonna make me get rid of bravebird arent you

vestal vessel
#

hmmmm

#

i mean you cant taunt the main pokemon that use status moves

#

because they are dark types

#

speed boosts on blaziken are not a problem since you already have haze fr

#

so if anything its tailwind over taunt

upper temple
sterile agate
#

hmm true

#

FINE

vestal vessel
upper temple
vestal vessel
#

oh im looking at your evs

#

remember that omni has like 7 physical attackers

#

def > special def

#

imo

sterile agate
#

true

#

all those extra 4 evs go right into defence

vestal vessel
upper temple
sterile agate
#

@vestal vessel should I Tera blast on t-tar

#

Set is like crunch EQ thunder punch knockoff. So drop crunch right

vestal vessel
#

thunder punch probably

#

you dont really need it for this match i think

sterile agate
#

I like thunder punch. It go BRRZZZZTTT kapow

sterile agate
#

@vestal vessel i feel bad

#

he didnt get lucky one time

vestal vessel
#

no spoilers

upper temple
#

Rng is a skill

vestal vessel
#

joined a draft league to bully kids

sterile agate
#

lmaooo

#

also

vestal vessel
#

okay but dont feel bad about the gunk shot miss

sterile agate
#

he has auspicous armour on his armourouge

vestal vessel
#

he should not even have that move against your team fr

#

oh

#

oh...

#

you know when i saw armarouge and alakazam i thought we were going to see evil omni

#

with trick room

#

that wasnt the case

#

nice first win

sterile agate
#

im gonna offer to help him with his next round

vestal vessel
sterile agate
#

i feel like i completly demoralized him

vestal vessel
upper temple
#

Moist bullying

vestal vessel
#

also

#

see i told you scraf krookodile was the play

sterile agate
#

yeah

vestal vessel
#

i already have a strat for abby

upper temple
#

Ment god of vgc gonna win worlds

vestal vessel
sterile agate
#

and the only thing i gave up on my strat is flying t-tar and they can guess that Krook is choiced

#

tho they might just think i like EQ

vestal vessel
#

i mean you did but not really

#

like its normal to have a tera type that makes your pokemon that is x4 weak to fighting

#

into flying or fairy

sterile agate
#

true

vestal vessel
sterile agate
#

abby has adopted a sunny day starter into her team with torkoal liligant and it is not fun to play against

#

shes actually so strong

upper temple
#

Defensive tera types op

vestal vessel
#

most

upper temple
vestal vessel
#

excadrill with sand force + whatever, turn 1 switch whatever for tyranitar

#

and 1 shot both pokemon with excadrill

#

trust

sterile agate
#

she also spams expanding force

vestal vessel
#

imprison expanding force farigiraf

sterile agate
#

RIGHT

upper temple
#

Farigirafs so cool

vestal vessel
#

i knew farigiraf was good

#

and my goat proved me right

#

wolfey won a recent event with it

upper temple
sterile agate
#

ok so its a murkrow switch out? or do you think gliscor

vestal vessel
#

gliscor or scizor

#

if you get rid of murkrow

#

im peepoleaving

sterile agate
#

LOL

#

ok

upper temple
#

Im a beast most dont get rid of me

vestal vessel
#

merckrow

#

if only murkrow could learn sandstorm

upper temple
#

I havent mastered the art of darude 2_SadPepe

vestal vessel
#

it learns sunny day and rain dance tho

#

could be useful against abby and the dude with pelipper

#

but its too early to cook

sterile agate
#

LOL

upper temple
#

Its never too early to cook just add preservatives ok

vestal vessel
sterile agate
vestal vessel
#

looks good

upper temple
sterile agate
#

gonna try and switch it in on a tropkick from liligant H

vestal vessel
#

oh no

#

you are switching it in

#

on solar blade

sterile agate
#

it for sure doesnt have solar blade LOL

#

it has tropkick

vestal vessel
#

most

#

let me show you my lligant

#

beast

upper temple
#

Heres where most photoshops trop kick over solar blade

vestal vessel
sterile agate
#

yeah hers is more like. triple axle. bullet seed, tropkick and closecombat

#

with loaded dice

vestal vessel
#

oh

#

i mean

#

let her cook

#

i guess

upper temple
vestal vessel
#

i prefer to be evil with after you fr

upper temple
#

Idk if ive ever used after you outside of randoms hmm

sterile agate
#

ment whats some things you would change about omnis team

#

he has 2 trades, still

#

and hes battling mike

vestal vessel
#

uhhh

#

only 2?

#

pangoro was lit

#

and so was armarouge when i used it with trick room

#

lucario seems fine too

#

decidueye for sure

#

get that thing out

#

i cant see mikes team

#

nvm

sterile agate
#

mikes a sweat

upper temple
#

Imagine sweating

sterile agate
#

couldnt be me

vestal vessel
#

im trying to find a good grass type

#

but all the good ones

#

are taken

upper temple
#

Good grass tera user fr

sterile agate
#

i think hyrdrapple

#

is still up

#

its slow

#

also abomasnow got picked up

#

tangrowth might be an option for a defensive

vestal vessel
#

for me its either tangrowth or shiftry

upper temple
#

Shiftry can go hard but some1 has mercrow already

sterile agate
#

lurantis with contrary could cause problems

upper temple
sterile agate
#

well he might have 4 pick ups

#

ill ask

vestal vessel
#

getting rid of decideuye for tangrowth

#

for this week

#

would be bis

#

if its 1 trade per week

sterile agate
#

its 2 trades per week

#

but he didnt trade anything this week

#

so if he can use 2 trades after our battle

#

he has 4 trades

vestal vessel
#

decidueye and blaziken out for sure

#

for tangrowth

#

and let me think of something else

#

gyarados

#

can be good

#

seems good in general even against big mike

#

gyarados gives him an intimidate pokemon and can be a good support/sweeper

sterile agate
#

here are all the trades so far

vestal vessel
#

no speed control is kinda

#

ass

#

but gyarados learns thunder wave

sterile agate
#

what do you think about kleavor for me at some point

vestal vessel
#

i dont even know what that thing does

#

let me check

sterile agate
#

it slice

#

it dice

#

but most importantly

#

its nice

vestal vessel
#

over who?

#

scizor?

#

or gliscor?

sterile agate
#

dog

vestal vessel
#

uhh

#

whoa re youfighting enxt week

sterile agate
#

fu

#

who dropped wailord for abomasnow

#

wait disa kleavor gets a move called stone axe which sets up stealth rocks for free

vestal vessel
#

what happens if you dont trade this week?

#

like do you lose 1 trade?

sterile agate
vestal vessel
#

the thing is that

#

double intimidate can be helpful against basculegion late game

sterile agate
#

true

#

but free stealth rocks on a 110 move

vestal vessel
#

110?

#

oh you are adding the damage from the abilities

sterile agate
#

yeah

vestal vessel
#

ehhh you could trade the dog i guess then

#

i prefer the dog mainly because it can be a support if you happen to need one

#

but breaking focus sash for free can be helpful i guess

#

oh i also thought one of your battles as if you still had the dog madge

#

against the rillaboom and archaludon match

sterile agate
#

ok with choice band he has like a 533 attack on a 95.7 base power move that one shots a random dracapult

vestal vessel
#

kleavor?

sterile agate
#

yeah

vestal vessel
#

actually

#

go for it

#

it also helps your against grass types

#

you do get another water weakness but it is what it is

sterile agate
#

im tryna wait for someone to drop the slug

#

so i can get storm drain

vestal vessel
#

nothing a terra grass cant fix

#

i guess its fine against fu

#

kleavor over stoutland

#

wailord might just click self destruct and basculegion will spam last respects

sterile agate
sterile agate
vestal vessel
#

im only worried about primarina and palafin

#

oh right

#

yeah kleaver is better now

#

kleavor

#

i would suggest giving brick break to one of your non choice pokemon

#

to desotry aurora veil if abomasnow happens to live more than 1 turn

sterile agate
#

I have psychic fangs on dracovish

vestal vessel
#

👍

vestal vessel
#

most i think i understand fus team

#

i only played 1 match so i could just be delusional

sterile agate
#

i have his replay from his last game

vestal vessel
#

i got like 3 revives off xdd

#

why was brian playing among us as if it had its other moves blocked by a choice item

#

oh yeah its pretty much what i expected

#

whimsicott and abomasnow way more offensive than what i thought tho

upper temple
#

Ment a genius

vestal vessel
#

this is the team i think he is gonna use against use

#

until i remembered whimsicott was also there

#

and that golem cant really use electric type moves against you

sterile agate
#

But he can EQ me back

vestal vessel
#

wanna battle 1 or 2 times?

sterile agate
#

Sure

vestal vessel
#

i didnt get to use revive

sterile agate
#

litterally praying on para

vestal vessel
#

#

@vestal vessel thoughts on what im cooking

upper temple
#

Stored power sets r fun

#

God i miss z-celebrate 2_SadPepe

vestal vessel
#

hmmmm

#

it could work as soon as you get rid of the boom pokemon

sterile agate
#

i could tera ghost

#

with weakness policy since im probably not gonna have weather controll at all

vestal vessel
#

please dont tera ghost

#

you are immnune to last respect from basculegion

sterile agate
#

ah good point

vestal vessel
#

im cooking somethin in my mind

#

to get the perfect lead no matter what

upper temple
sterile agate
#

does haze have use in this match up

#

or should i switch to taunt

vestal vessel
#

haze ir worthless in this matchup i think

#

and taunt might not be very good

#

since the whimsicott we saw was very agressive

#

and is faster than murkrow so it always gets tailwind up first

#

if murkrow gets feather dance

upper temple
#

It does

vestal vessel
#

that might be useful

sterile agate
#

we whirlwind for sure for sure
