competitive

[gaunt swallow]

I’ll battle you

[sweet kraken]

Ok

[sweet kraken]

What Is The Code

Wait

[gaunt swallow]

Code is 2398 5007

[sweet kraken]

Coming

[sweet kraken]

Single or double?

[gaunt swallow]

Double

[sweet kraken]

K

Done

[gaunt swallow]

That was a good battle

[sweet kraken]

Bro, I thought I was so done

[gaunt swallow]

Yeah I thought so too

[sweet kraken]

Bro, you wiped almost my entire team and I thought that would be GG for me but I somehow won

Can you accept my friend request?

[gaunt swallow]

Sure

[teal leaf]

c tier team because some of your pokemon are illegal

[topaz rivet]

Which ones would you say that they are illegal? There’s no evidence

[deep wadi]

what do you guys think is better? stellar or ground serperior

[bleak charm]

.atrocityexhibition is now level 3.

[deep wadi]

i haven’t used stellar but i find ground to be pretty good defensively

[earnest saffron]

Both work, and it probably depends on what you want

[deep wadi]

i think leaf blade does alright on its own for damage but the tera could help

[earnest saffron]

Most tend to go with leaf storm since contrary

If you want to be more defensive stick with ground. To be more offensive stellar

[ornate bronze]

Stellar is better cause Tera blast will give a +sp.atk boost with contray

[sweet kraken]

Anyone wanna battle

[fluid fjord]

why would you run leaf blade over storm

[nocturne vale]

What anybody thinks about this team

[ornate bronze]

i dont see the point of iron crown if you dont have indeedee

[teal leaf]

very good A tier

[fluid fjord]

Excadrill and Crown are misplaced, and Heavy duty boots is near useless in Doubles as only one mon in the meta runs entry hazards. No reason to run either Drill or Crown without their partners, Indeedee to make expanding force hit both and get the damage boost, and Tyranitar to put up sandstorm to get proc Excadrill's Sand Rush.

[nocturne vale]

So then what can I do to fix it

[fluid fjord]

Well, what's your gameplan? If you want to lean into psyspam, i'd say throw an indeedee in there and look to replace excadrill with something else. If you want to use drill, take Iron crown out for Assault Vest tera Psychic TTar

what's your Urshi build?

[nocturne vale]

Surging strikes,swords dance,close combat,and detect,with choice band

[fluid fjord]

why do you have swords dance on a choice band mon

or detect

[nocturne vale]

Oh it was really by accident

[fluid fjord]

if you want to use a choice item I say go scarf Urshi with Strikes Uturn close combat and Aqua jet

or you could go mystic water instead, could also throw rain dance on tornadus if you havent already.

[nocturne vale]

Well tornadus sets up tailwind to make so choice band urshi hit harder

[fluid fjord]

Urshi doesn't really need band, it already hits like a truck

you're at a much bigger risk of getting outsped in a tailwind mirror

[nocturne vale]

So I can replace tornadus

[fluid fjord]

i dont know why you would do that

its an amazing partner for Urshi, the prankster rain setup is still good even if you're scarfed

[nocturne vale]

I didn’t know it can learn rain dance

[fluid fjord]

yuh

[bleak charm]

a13x is now level 3.

[nocturne vale]

So amoogus and grimmsnarl ok

Or can we switch Grimm with klefki

[fluid fjord]

generally yes, although I think there are better choices than Grimmsnarl. I don't think you really need screens

why klefki?

[nocturne vale]

Which is bulkier

[bleak charm]

ceejay12345678910 is now level 3.

[fluid fjord]

I'd assume grimmsnarl but that's a guess

but I dont think you need another support mon

or at least, a screen setter

[nocturne vale]

What is the best electric type for this team

[fluid fjord]

well, what would you like the electric type to do?

do you want bulk, speed, a specific move?

[nocturne vale]

Use thunder since the rain is up

Or can I use archaludon

[fluid fjord]

could use this raging bolt set but replace bolt with thunder

Raging Bolt @ Magnet
Level: 50
Ability: Protosynthesis
EVs: 228 HP / 4 Def / 180 SpA / 4 SpD / 92 Spe
IVs: 20 Atk
Tera Type: Electric
Modest Nature

• Thunderbolt
• Thunderclap
• Draco Meteor
• Protect

you could use archdon

but with bolt you can put it out with amoongus and have it redirect tantrum and earthpower away from it, so you don't have to tera

same thing works with Archdon, so it's more of a preference

Archdon is neutral into fluttermane so that is a consideration

[nocturne vale]

I will use arch since raging bolt only gets an electric boost

[fluid fjord]

its dragon too

[nocturne vale]

Cam I use life orb on arch

[fluid fjord]

most people use assault vest on it, otherwise you get 2shot by Fluttermane Moonblast

and you dont really need a life orb when you get the special attack boost off of electro shot

[nocturne vale]

Is there a way to use tentacruel as a physical attacker

[fluid fjord]

your choices are limited and considering it's already a weak mon I wouldn't

if you want a physical water attacker I'd go for Araquanid or Ogerpon-w

[nocturne vale]

I can also use araquanid to set up sticky web too right

[fluid fjord]

yeah, couldn't hurt if you don't want to bring Tornadeus to a matchup.

but since you're using scarf on Urshi you can use mystic water on Araquanid so it does big damag

[nocturne vale]

With liquidaton

[fluid fjord]

ye

[nocturne vale]

Can swampert do anything

[fluid fjord]

other than get hit for 4x effective grass glide? no

[nocturne vale]

So what about swift swim kingdra

[fluid fjord]

swift swim basuclegion

[nocturne vale]

Holding what

[fluid fjord]

life orb

[nocturne vale]

Covert cloak on tornadus is ok too

[fluid fjord]

ye

[bleak charm]

a13x is now level 4.

[digital dragon]

Can someone tell me the best way to use this team and/or change any Pokemon Pokepaste

[ornate bronze]

i mean koraidon is not gonna be legal for a good while lol

[digital dragon]

Oh I’m using it in showdown

For Ubers it’s legal

[ornate bronze]

i mean half of your mons arent good in ubers

[digital dragon]

o

[ornate bronze]

either way i dont do smogon formats so i wouldnt know

[digital dragon]

ok

[topaz rivet]

Why are you pinging me randomly?

No, sorry

[cursive smelt]

what

why did all my messages get deleted?

[nocturne vale]

Can someone help me build a minior team

[stray tulip]

Hey so I’m trying to build a Venusaur competitive team for my game and I’ve already have Venusaur and Torkoal, what other Pokémon should I get?

[ornate bronze]

things to cover the weaknesses

or just staple pokemon in the meta

[stray tulip]

Okay 👍🏽

[nocturne vale]

Can someone help me build a minior team

[bleak charm]

ceejay12345678910 is now level 4.

[stray tulip]

volcarona would a good teammate

[topaz rivet]

Oh? Hey!! It makes a long time

[stray tulip]

Hi!! It's been a while!

[topaz rivet]

Yeah

[stray tulip]

I don't think this a really a team that can be used for competitive, but who should I add?

[ornate bronze]

taurous is useless compared to every other intimadater currently right now

dragonite is mid without chien-pao

[stray tulip]

What are some good non-legendary teammates for Venusaur?

I’m stuck on this

I already have Torkoal

[earnest saffron]

Pikalytics has walking wake, flutter mane, and incineroar as the most used

Not counting torkoal

[stray tulip]

Okay

Thanks!

[earnest saffron]

Been using that site to see what people are running

Only downside is that it doesn't say what tera types people have been using

[stray tulip]

Any other Pokemon?

For the Venusaur team?

[ornate bronze]

I'd suggest looking at the one on YT from Pokesports

[stray tulip]

Oooh Okay

Thank you!

[ornate bronze]

Np

[cursive smelt]

guys do u think tera water poison heal gliscor @ toxic orb and facade is good?

as well as protect to stall out toxic orb

[ornate bronze]

Gliscor sucks in doubles so no

[fluid fjord]

I like gliscor as a raid mon but stallers arent good in doubles

[stray tulip]

Can someone rate my team? Like how it will do in competitive and in-game?

[ornate bronze]

In game doesn't matter cause you can use whatever you want and win

252/252/4 spreads is not what you should be using on every pokemon for comp

No psychic move on hatterene to take advantage of psychic stab

Rock Tera is awful use Tera fire on ven

And use weather ball instead of Tera blast

EQ is horrid on torkoal when it has access to earth power

No e.speed on dragonite

No Tera poison on swampert

[stray tulip]

Thanks, but do you think they’d all make good partners?

[ornate bronze]

I dont have experience with or against any of them outside of gambit and dknight

And those two are usually paired with chien-pao

[earnest saffron]

Pikanalytics should have data on what usually gets paired with who

[stray tulip]

I pulled most of these out of Pikalytics and I got Swampert out of a Pokesports video I think

[nocturne vale]

Can someone rate this team

[ornate bronze]

Mid

[stray tulip]

What’s the best held item for Venusaur?

[spring plinth]

I hyper trained my skeliderge, iron valiant, and only hypertrained the worst stat on my kingambit. Is this team good or trash

[ornate bronze]

cant use ray

no form of speed control

so pretty bad

[spring plinth]

Ok

Thanks for advice

[hasty lintel]

I think tera types made irreversible changes to competitive

[ornate bronze]

Not really

[patent moss]

Might be terrible team

Metagross and Meowscarada are replaceable

Switch to archuladon for metagross and for meowscarada not so sure

So tired of wicked blow urshifu

I had to get hatterene

[stray tulip]

Venusaur and Ninetales, anyone?

[cursive smelt]

battle anyone?

[worldly laurel]

Hatterene with life orb?

[bleak charm]

idunno3566 is now level 1.

[worldly laurel]

It’s not exactly an attacker…

[ornate bronze]

Says who?

[earnest saffron]

With expanding force it’s pretty good as one

[ornate bronze]

Even before it got expanding force back it was used over armarouge for VGC

[worldly laurel]

That’s nice, and I’m not dissing the pokemon.

[ornate bronze]

I'm just showing that it's 100% an attacker lol

[worldly laurel]

Just that there are better options

[ornate bronze]

I mean for there team yea but they even said there team is bad so

And hatterene is the better special attackers when it comes to trick room

[worldly laurel]

It’s better off being a really good support though

[ornate bronze]

It's not

If you want support there infinitely better options

Amoongus/anything with prankster/intimidate mons/farigafaf

Just to list a few

[hasty lintel]

hows this team in anything goes

[ornate bronze]

Anything goes isn't competitive really so yea

You do whatever you want

[hasty lintel]

still thi how good is it

[patent moss]

hatterene works for Trick Room well coz how slow it is

SpA is decent

[patent moss]

Farigafaf very much a menace

[stray tulip]

Any Pokémon for Sun Teams?

I’m trying to create a Sun Team with Venusaur I already have Ninetales for the Sun Setter should I also have Torkoal on the team?

[ornate bronze]

you dont need more then 1 sun setter

[stray tulip]

This isn’t about my team or anything but can Koraidon be like a sun setter with its Orichalcum Pulse ability?

[bleak charm]

kqngs.khnh3 is now level 6.

[ornate bronze]

i mean

its not legal so

[stray tulip]

Oh

[jolly crest]

Rate this challenge team

[ornate bronze]

Not a competitive team so you do you

[zenith pumice]

could someone help me with making a vgc doubles and singles team? I have a doubles team but I lose most of my matches so I would like to know how to modify or properly use it and how to make a good singles team as well. Tag me in reply if anyone can

[ornate bronze]

There's no vgc for singles so yea

But you have to decide what your strategy is going to be and go from there

[zenith pumice]

Ok cool.

My doubles team consists of flutter mane. Iron hands. Tornadus. Urshifu rapid. Rillaboom. And Incineroar. Is this good or would I need to modify it?

[bleak charm]

letsgoblake is now level 1.

[zenith pumice]

Sorry I’m just starting to get into vgc😅

[ornate bronze]

It just sounds like good stuff the team

[zenith pumice]

Hmm. Well my main idea was to have the core three incineroar, Urshifu and Rillaboom with tornadus setup. Do you reckon that I change flutter mane and iron heads for others? If so what pokemon?

[ornate bronze]

I'd kick iron hands to the curb

Not good

Anymore

Also swap water ursh for the dark

Use water ogergon and congratz the most basic vgc team

[zenith pumice]

Ok thank you. And I just keep the flutter mane in?

[ornate bronze]

Yes

It's the #1 pokemon for a reason

[zenith pumice]

Alr then

[manic quarry]

i might have a good team but if u shiny yes or no it doesnt matter

[ornate bronze]

Shinys don't affect anything so why would it matter

[zenith pumice]

I’m good thank you. Crystal thank you for the help. Although I feel like I should keep the rush the same. Mainly for tailwind+rain dance

[manic quarry]

they suck but i have to

[ornate bronze]

You don't "have" to

That's actively throwing lol

[zenith pumice]

If you say so

[manic quarry]

i dont but its from showdown! beta

[ornate bronze]

252/252/4 is not standard on anything in VGC

[manic quarry]

they made it not me

[bleak charm]

daman076592 is now level 1.

[ornate bronze]

You can literally customize the evs

You know that right?

[ornate bronze]

The rush is fine the team is meant to be hyper offense

its just more of

dont play into taunt

[ornate bronze]

[zenith pumice]

Ooooh ok

[manic quarry]

all of mine will suck because i really suck

[ornate bronze]

thats why the internet exists

just search up some builds people do

[manic quarry]

website ogerpon

[ornate bronze]

again

just make your own spread

252/252/4 isnt good

or just look up what other people are doing

also move set is bad

[manic quarry]

people say this is "good"

[zenith pumice]

I have seen that as well

[ornate bronze]

for low ladder singles sure

[zenith pumice]

Ok

[manic quarry]

this set most likely sucks but 1% of the time works

How good is the Prankster ability?

Top 5 ability

[fierce chasm]

Ate there any tournaments???

Are

[ornate bronze]

You'll have to look those up

[stray tulip]

Is Meowstic any good in competitive?

[earnest saffron]

Well it has prankster so it can be used

Definitely not used a lot but it’s your team

[gaunt swallow]

Hey I have a question about the Pokémon tournament in Louisiana. What battle format is it and which kinds of Pokémon’s are and are not acceptable? How do people sign up for the tournament?

[ornate bronze]

already answered

[stray tulip]

There’s a Pokémon tournament in Louisiana?

[ornate bronze]

there is

its internationals so unless youve been playing all season cant partake

[fluid fjord]

I dont think there's any limitations for entry for IC's, only worlds

You just need to buy an entry ticket

[steep dew]

is anyone good at like online builds/evs

[sullen ridge]

Tryna build a team On a hisui goodra as a very bulky wall that kinda just sits on the field And wondering if i should go fairy tera and also wondering if i should run physical or special Goodra gets access to like knock off so i was thinking abt physical im running av with max hp and defense investment just not sure where to go from here any suggestions?

[patent moss]

Hisuian Goodra with 252 Hp and def 236+. You can invest some to SpD and Spe

Also can add 4 atk +

With heavy Slam(against flutter mane) and body slam

Then shelter for good def

Fairy is good for Tera Type

For the last move is up to you

[patent moss]

But it is up to you how you want it to be

[ornate bronze]

Body press I assume is what you mean and not body slam

You don't really need heavy slam cause goodra I don't think meets the weight like something as like iron hands but idk much about goodra as it's not that great

this my set for goodra wondering what i should put it with

[stray tulip]

what pokemon are good to run on sun teams with venusaur? i already have walking wake and torkoal

[zenith pumice]

Not sure. I’m struggling with making and tweaking my own singles and doubles team and I still need help. Anyone got any advise?

[earnest saffron]

People can probably help you better if you can show a picture in pokepaste format

[stray tulip]

https://pokepast.es/650e9aef1b7bf15c might switch out one of the sun setters. who should i add?

[zenith pumice]

I feel like you’d only need one drought user and then maybe a bulky pokemon with sunny day

So probably ninetales but idk who it should be switched

Possibly fluttermane

[stray tulip]

would whimsicott be a good option?

[zenith pumice]

Yeah that would be good to set sunny day

Since it has prankster

[stray tulip]

ik how good a venusaur and torkoal combo is but would a venusaur+kanto ninetales be good as well?

[zenith pumice]

Not sure. I’m not the best😅

[stray tulip]

its okay!

[zenith pumice]

I’m going to send my singles and doubles teams from poke paste on here soon anyway. 👍

[stray tulip]

okay! but what grass move would be good to run on whimsicott?

[zenith pumice]

Energy ball maybe? Idk if the top of my head. Pikalytics is a good web to use. It shows how much certain things are used of certain pokemon. That should help

[stray tulip]

Thank you!

[zenith pumice]

Np

[stray tulip]

i made a few changes to the team, i had to put ninetales back in the box, however. https://pokepast.es/84caf691881e5b0e how's it now?

i'm still working on incineroar's moves.

[ornate bronze]

You never need rapid spin for doubles hazards are not a thing

Incin always uses parting shot/flare blitz/knock off/fake out

Protect is a waste on wake if your going specs

You don't need that much speed or damage on wim it's a support not a damage mon

Give it more bulk

And chandlure isn't great I'd just use flutter or dark ursh

[zenith pumice]

Do I need to go on computer for pokepaste because I can’t get a full link to paste on here

[bleak charm]

letsgoblake is now level 3.

[zenith pumice]

This is my singles team. Would this be good or would I need to change things: https://pokepast.es/fe212d491c583606

If not. How would I use it correctly?

Same for my doubles team: https://pokepast.es/401830b6d88e3a72

[ornate bronze]

Put u-turn on rillaboom

Need to change torn"s ev spread not meant to do damage you want him alive

Ok done. Would you recommend anything else for my doubles or singles team?

[noble lake]

can anyone help me make a team for vgc?

[gaunt swallow]

Got clipped by a shiny Dragonite that only used Dragon Dance and Extreme speed

[ornate bronze]

Priority do be like that

[stray tulip]

is incineroar a good replacement

[ornate bronze]

I mean its the best intimidate pokemon

[zenith pumice]

So the rest of my doubles team is good, u-turn on Rillaboom and those new EVs are good for Tornadus?

[empty hearth]

I need help I want a Koraidon holding the Auspicious Armor and I will give a Miraidon holding a Malicious Armor

[ornate bronze]

wrong channel and dont post in every channel

[empty hearth]

I am new on this thanks for the information

[stray tulip]

https://pokepast.es/710b65f32aef027c hows this?

updated ver: https://pokepast.es/bb477a226d0dcac4

well who should i add?

[zenith pumice]

Did you use pikalytics? And incineroar doesn’t need much attack at all to do a lot of damage. Make it more defensive as it is the best support pokemon. I recommend using pikalytics for the EVs

That’s how I’m still working on mine😂😂

[clear moth]

hey, i got a funny idea that i tried, and its using belly drum and then baton pass it to urshifu water, and i used drain punch to heal up most of the damage done during the change or if the other pokemon was faster, the strat worked better than what i expected

[zenith pumice]

That’s actually very interesting

[nocturne vale]

Can someone help me make a calyrex ice-rider team

[ornate bronze]

alola ninetails and a trick room setter

[zenith pumice]

Would Glimmora work better as an offensive lead or hazard setter for singles?

[ornate bronze]

dont play singles since its not a actual competitive format

[zenith pumice]

Alr then.

[zenith pumice]

If I put latias instead of Tornadus on my team should I swap urshifu? If so to what?

[zenith pumice]

If so would rocky helmet be better than soul dew for items?

[bleak charm]

letsgoblake is now level 4.

[tropic elk]

Anyone wanna do a double battle, we need one more person for a full union of battlers

[zenith pumice]

Would rocky helmet or soul dew be better for latias in doubles?

[modest socket]

hmm

[bleak charm]

saberslasher11 is now level 1.

[modest socket]

so who would like to help me create a blaziken team

[ornate bronze]

Youtube cause blaziken hasnt been good for comp since megas got removed

[dreamy edge]

This is the team

@ornate bronze

[ornate bronze]

[ornate bronze]

not yet

and zacian will just fall over to incin

[dreamy edge]

Oh ok

Any good yt who makes good teams lol ?

[ornate bronze]

first off

if your wanting to be competitive why are you watching singles

[dreamy edge]

Idk what to watch i never played competitive its my first pokemon game where i play online i just played Story shiny hubt ect

[ornate bronze]

well singles isnt the competitive format

just saying that now

its doubles

[dreamy edge]

Oh ok

[dreamy edge]

Noted

[ornate bronze]

usually if the channel has "VGC" in there name they probably actually play in events and stuff like that

[topaz rivet]

Doubles will almost always be the ones chosen for competition tournaments and there’s the rule set for each “seasons” that can change so you need to adapt your teams accordingly to them if it’s what you’re going into

[dreamy edge]

I watch him too

[bleak charm]

exzeroyt is now level 2.

[ornate bronze]

the most well-known one being wolfey cause of how in-depth he goes with his teams/plays and all that

aaron zheng is fine

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYjx35QjfZ8&t=4801s you can watch this to see what i mean about how in-depth he is

being a world champion helps

[topaz rivet]

Being involved in the competition since Gen 5 help as well

[dreamy edge]

This is good too ? I wanted to use but i wasnt sure kf they are allowed in ranked i aqw in by aarom

[ornate bronze]

why wouldnt they be

[dreamy edge]

Entei is a legy like i remember

[ornate bronze]

he wouldnt use it if it wasnt allowed FYI

[topaz rivet]

Be sure to change the levels as well since it can affect the amount of damage they have and the HP they have as well

[ornate bronze]

level doesnt matter unless they are under 50

[dreamy edge]

Im gonna try this Team i rly like dragoran it helped me since white in every game i played

[ornate bronze]

your brought down to level 50

[dreamy edge]

So i can just use lvl 100 bc all of the pokemon goes to lvl 50

[dreamy edge]

I always use lvl 100

So i can get maximum like they shown it

[lyric oyster]

Double battle-code is 13134

[ornate bronze]

its not good for competitive espically with dynamax being a thing

[balmy orbit]

https://pokepast.es/91759867abf06267
made builds for the new reg G (starts may first) for the allowed ledgends

not all of them are here just the ones I thought would be seen

[stray tulip]

So I’ve seen both Kingambit and Dragonite on the same team tons of times, I never really understood why. How do they benefit from each other?

[ornate bronze]

Chein-pao

And they cover each other's weakness

[open magnet]

Can anyone help me with competitive

I sorta have a team

[zenith pumice]

Is rocky helmet good for Latias set?

[topaz rivet]

Try to put a rocky helmet on a Pokemon that have a really good physical defence

[zenith pumice]

Ok noted. I wanted to try latias and gambit duo for my team and latias is quite good on both defence stats. Special more that phys but i feel like it would work

[topaz rivet]

I don’t think Latias is the best option for this item

[zenith pumice]

Ok thank you. Should i put soul dew on it instead? This is for doubles anyway

Or what other item

[topaz rivet]

Dew?

[zenith pumice]

That’s what it says the item is called isn’t it?

[topaz rivet]

Sorry, I don’t know what is this item in my languages

[zenith pumice]

Oh ok my apologies

It’s the special item for latias and latios that give X1.2 stab to their dragon and psychic moves

[topaz rivet]

Completely different name in my language, that’s why I didn’t know what you were talking about

[zenith pumice]

Makes sense

[topaz rivet]

But I know what you’re talking about

Could work if it’s what you’re looking for

[zenith pumice]

Alr then. Ill get both and experiment

Thank you for your help

[earnest saffron]

Put it into pokepaste for readability

[ornate bronze]

Your doubling down on 2 different types making your team alot weaker to things you wouldn't like

Like a raging bolt solos half your team basically or miraidon

Also like I've said many a times 252/252/4 spreads are awful on most mons if you want to actually use them for VGC

Like why does incin have any attack EVs

It's not meant for damage

Then amoongus has no investment in its physical defense

[open magnet]

This better?

[earnest saffron]

Much better

[stray tulip]

https://pokepast.es/05bc8dab664f2a86 what do you guys think?

[desert flint]

could someone tell me if i need to adjest my team for Reg G?https://pokepast.es/898dc2ae0b7fd7a9

[ornate bronze]

you dont need to triple down on water types

id replace basulegion with something else

your basically asking to be miradon/raging bolt food

[desert flint]

ok

what would be a good change for basulegion?

[ornate bronze]

lando probs or some sort of ground type

you have nothing to beat eletric types

Hello everyone, I am still very new to competitive pokemon and I really dont understand how to make a competitive team (not the design part but the actaully making it in game) how does one Gen a team, I have been searching for hours and cant figure it out

[zenith pumice]

Whenever i try to get a Zacian it doesnt come with the format i put for it, but when i got latios a few minutes before it did. Why would this be?

[topaz rivet]

#questions

[zenith pumice]

Thought i could ask here since it was a bit about pvp format stuff

[zenith pumice]

Also I’ve been on holiday for a bit. Could someone fill me in on how this runs down?

[earnest saffron]

Zamazenta got body press which has been its saving grace. Dunno about the rest of the mons

[zenith pumice]

So why is it restricted?

[earnest saffron]

It's a box legendary which inherently is a restricted mon

[zenith pumice]

So like you can only have one box legendary on a team? Or

[earnest saffron]

In the current VGC format yes

[zenith pumice]

Ah ok so thats the restricted part. Got it

I also had a question that i resent in #questions . Would you happen to know the answer?

[slate blaze]

Any tips for someone who's been mainly a Single player Pokémon fan going into online...

Anyone wanna battle and do friendly vgc tournaments together?

[charred finch]

yess

[native nebula]

What’s vgc

[earnest saffron]

Double battle format

[dusty lion]

Anyone have suggestions on a supportive pokemon for calyrex shadow rider

[supple lagoon]

Calyrex is more speed high damage Pokémon

[charred finch]

amoongus

pollun puff, rage powder user

[slow sinew]

@charred finch

[charred finch]

get the soul dew on her

[slow sinew]

I put soul dew on her

[charred finch]

then get psychic

draco meteor

helping hand

protect

[slow sinew]

Alright

Not sure about helping hand as if I do vgc, I'll probably do singles

But thanks for the suggestion

[charred finch]

ohh

i thought by vgc u meant doubles

ig then u should go for calm mind

[slow sinew]

Ye, but gotcha, if I do doubles I'll add helping hand

[zenith pumice]

I have a zamazenta team i wanna make but i dont know which pokemon to use.

The ones i will use are:
Zamazenta
Raging bolt
Peliper
Rillaboom

Since they are used a lot in a team together

But the ones that i dont know what to choose are:
Chien-po
Incineroar
Moltres (Galatian)

Which two pokemon should i pick if anyone has any suggestions?

[topaz rivet]

Chien-pao and inceneroar

[zenith pumice]

Ok thank you that is all

Hey im just getting into competitive Pokémon does anyone have any good team ideas for me?

[bleak charm]

smalldude0684_70903 is now level 1.

[zenith pumice]

I watch the YouTuber Jeans (pokemon) to get ideas on many different teams you can use for reg G since he goes through an explanation before and during matches, and i use the following websites: pikalytics (change it to switched ranked not on showdown) and pokemon showdown to help with changing items moves etc… and different options for the team if i dont like whats already on the team from YouTube

[zenith pumice]

Also with my team. Should bolt or rilllaboom have assault vest? And which one should have another item?

[topaz rivet]

Idk

[zenith pumice]

I was thinking grassy seed if i have vest on bolt

[arctic halo]

Not great with making competitive teams... what would be a good team made from my lvl 100 mons?

[arctic halo]

What do I need to change about this team?

[ornate bronze]

Dont use 5/6 of those mons cause they arent good

Also ev spreads are awful

[arctic halo]

I went with suggested spreads

Idk almost anything about competitive

Which 5 aren't good?

@ornate bronze I'm trying to use only mons I have

It's for doubles

I want my pokemon to be able to tank hits while hitting back harder

[ornate bronze]

playing defensive in comp is never the play

espically with restricted legends like miradon

[arctic halo]

@ornate bronze k

[worn rivet]

Boys

And girls

Gotta be inclusive

I would like some assistance perfecting my first ever competitive team

This is what I’m working with. My friends are setting up a no-legendaries tournament but there are no item restrictions or move restrictions and it’s in SV. It’s a singles format and you can use all 6 pokemon per battle. I’ve been running this team online just for practice but notice I am quite weak to fast fairy types like fluttermane and have some trouble with kingamnit once he gets set up with overlord. I will say it has been effective on showdown even in anything goes format but I’m for sone reason struggling with ranked on SV. Anyone got any suggestions for different EV spreads or perhaps a pokemon I could sub in for someone else? (Note: I am not getting rid of dudunsparce as this is a chill tourney and I think bringing dudunsparce is extremely funny)

[bleak charm]

zippymcflippy is now level 2.

[worn rivet]

Any form of advice is appreciated ❤️

[safe cape]

you could use max attack and speed kingambit with life orb and iron head @worn rivet

that would kill most fluttermanes with choice specs

as tera type you could do poison as defense or steel to do more damage with iron head

[edgy wasp]

anyone want to battle?

[safe cape]

@worn rivet a poison tera kingambit would survive a choice specs moonblast if you tera steel or poison depending on what you chooser

[stray tulip]

wait that dude’s still weak to fairy

oh nvm

[fierce loom]

why is inceneroar the best vgc pokemon

[earnest saffron]

Intimidate, great support moves, does decent damage

here is my pre-regulation h team, what do you think

[sick talon]

Yo, I uploaded my team

[ornate bronze]

This team is asking to get dunked on by any good fighting type

Your supporting mons aren't meant for damage

Scafty is really bad no matter how you see it cause fairy types exist

Also you get hard walled by dragons basically

What is this incin set to

No parting shot

No willowisp

No knock off

Also no items and no ev spreads

[dusty relic]

I agree parting shot is important for inceneroar.

What battle format are you going into

[cosmic crypt]

Hey, I’ve been testing out a team for reg H, and I’m struggling with the duo Archaludon+Pelipper, without R. Bolt, looks like we don’t have any good electric mons to deal with Pelipper and Gyarados (as well). Bloodmon is good against Archaludon, but when he gets Tera Fairy is kinda tricky. Any counters for this duo?

[sick talon]

FYI, I changed my gothittle to hatterene so I have a better match-up against fighting types, My rillaboom has woodhammer to deliver bonks of damage, scrafty has poison tera, hatterene has fairy tera to beat up dragons, and my incin seat is changed to snarl, fake out, temper flare and parting shot

[ornate bronze]

you dont need temper flame

snarl is bad just use knock off

scafty still isnt worth and isnt worth using the tera 99% of the time

hatterene is only good in trick roo set ups

and also needs the psychic terrain

which conflicts with rillaboom

using double intimadate just isnt worth and nothing else is worth outside of incin and gyrados

[sick talon]

Temper flare works so that when my incin goes for fake out, and the opposing mons protect, it does double damage next turn and snarl is so I can bully SpA attackers

I will only use scrafty tera when I am conflicted with a fairy type

My meowstic has prankster psychic terrain

[ornate bronze]

which again conflict withs rilla

[sick talon]

and rillaboom will come in when necessary

[ornate bronze]

just use flare blitz over temper theres a reason why no one uses it in incin

[sick talon]

But I need a mon to counter opposing trick room teams and bloodmoon ursaluna as well as opposing dark types

Why cant I be the first to use temper flare

[ornate bronze]

you asked for advise im just giving it

[sick talon]

Oh, Sorry

I forgot

@ornate bronze Can you help me create a mon that can counter bloodmoon ursaluna, the trick room users (Psychic and Ghost types), and Opposing dark types,

[ornate bronze]

prankster taunt user

a good fighting type

there you go

[sick talon]

what about armor tail farigiraf

[ornate bronze]

only good in trick room

or in a team built around it

[midnight tangle]

Incorrect prefix! The correct command is .t

[sick talon]

What do you think about a volbeat set with taunt, tail glow, bug buzz and giga drain

[bleak charm]

adminakv69_44964 is now level 4.

[ornate bronze]

just use grimsnarl

[sick talon]

But I want a counter to bloodmoon ursaluna and volbeat has giga drain

[ornate bronze]

you want to use a little weak bug to counter a pseduo legendary?

when you have way better options

[sick talon]

I made a new grimmsnarl set, taunt, play rough, hammer arm, false surrender

What do you think

[ornate bronze]

you dont need 75% of those moves

please just research actual competitive gameplay from VGC tournements/channels

theres a very stark difference between using whats good/what you like which is what im getting from you

[sick talon]

I finally found out how to replace scrafty, choice scarf annihilape with taunt, bulk up, rage fist, and close combat and with meowstic using trick to exchange the choice scarf when necessary

[sinful wraith]

Better idea, miraidon with choice specs Terra electric with electro drift for primary move with farigiraf with its hidden ability or second ability, whichever eliminates priority moves, tornadus with its better tailwind, for the final one you want to use skeledirge with torch song

[ornate bronze]

the next regulations doesnt allow legendarys/paradoxs

[ornate bronze]

choice scarf is bad if you have non damaging moves

[dusty relic]

@sick talon which battle format you going into? Double or single

[sick talon]

Doubles

I changed annhilape to eviolite primeape to make it extra bulky while using facade, bulk up, rage fist, and drain punch

[ornate bronze]

drop facade for protect

[sick talon]

Okay, Good sugesttion

[distant mist]

[lilac peak]

[sick talon]

what do you guys think of facade rilla

bc of willowisp incins

I actually changed facade to u-turn

[sick talon]

[bleak charm]

adminakv69_44964 is now level 5.

[sick talon]

What should it's EV spread be

I'll leave it up to y'all

[small basalt]

[glass nebula]

Yes. But id use a premade team if u are entirel new to playing competitive to fet an idea why certain Pokémon work

[glass nebula]

@shell perch

[shell perch]

Tyyy

[gloomy schooner]

You can give it a bold nature and 188 def and you can survive a dire claw from sneasler. Up to you though bc that is a fairly big investment. Really depends what roll you need it to fill for your team

(Jolly sneasler)

[glass nebula]

^that but only if you can ohko +1 SpD Sneasler

[sick talon]

what happens if a prankster pokemon uses perish song on a dark type

I am confused about it

I am trying to run it on my murkrow

[glass nebula]

Test it

It shouldn't affect it

[ripe storm]

Dark types are immune to all status moves if it came from prankster

[sick talon]

test it and then tell

[gaunt swallow]

From a couple of months ago

Snowscape, trailblaze, freeze dry, swift

[sick talon]

[gaunt swallow]

Snow cloak

I wanna beat rayquaza on Christmas day

Bc even tho i don’t celebrate it

[sick talon]

[gaunt swallow]

It’ll still be fun to kick that shiny black dragon’s ass

Ok

So

Shall we start building the team?

I’m thinking of a good special atk

But bulky

Do yk anything?

[sick talon]

[gaunt swallow]

Yep

[sick talon]

[gaunt swallow]

I use it to gen pokemon all the time

Yeo

Yep

[sick talon]

[gaunt swallow]

K

So

What now?

[sick talon]

and u can choose any pokemon, give it any tera type and give it any moves, and perfect its EVs and IVs

[gaunt swallow]

K

How abt empoleon?

[sick talon]

I would choose gholdengo, ursaluna bloodmoon, archaludon or primerina

[gaunt swallow]

Out of my favourites i’d go for primarina

[bleak charm]

thelegend_eternity is now level 9.

[sick talon]

empoleon's good but it is not very meta

[gaunt swallow]

K

[sick talon]

but if you want to use it
