Id also argue the SE hits on Fairy Ground are way more relevant
I retract my dragon stab sucks lol
like Dark, Fighting
4 resistances, 3 weaknesses
sure but I thought we were just talking in a vacuum tbh
I’m clearly dumb lol
only 2 resistnances offensively
Fairy hurts dragon a lot
And uh, fluttermane exists
Xerneas and Zacian will eventually exists again
I think people get confused by what "offensive typing" really means 🤔
I’m dumb, what does it mean?
Chien pao is so good for a reason, I think fighting ice and dark isn’t resisted by anything
It's debating how good a typing is offensively into things, rather than their own weaknesses vs things being offensive toward them
I mean within the vacuum id also start considering existing abilities; like fairy, ground still has things it can’t hit factoring that in
Friend of mine lost first place to RNGsus
Like if you had exclusively two offensive slots
Ice/Ground
Distribution of Fairy si also few in between with Ground
That does however give me an idea
👀
Yay a way to remove ogerpon? Love it
I feel ashamed to be asking but do any of y'all have a Dozo spread

but no i dont think i have it

I’ll check
i think i saw one before lemme see
What kind
splashable
Solo?
oh commander
trying the Tommy special
Just a general one?
2-2-2 SunRoomDozo
Right
yeah just a splashable dozo that you can fit on a 2-2-2
Would you prefer offensive or non cause I like mine fat
it is lefties protect order up
so I guess fat offensive
we prob dont need as much speed
so it can like come out solo under tr and maybe get a hit before we get out tatsu
Well if we dont need speed then
also I dont actually love Toms open sheet
https://play.limitlesstcg.com/tournament/654a6a98d2fa022f6c069684/player/tomhayden27/teamlist
gonna make quite a few changes
yeah I think 84 is a fine number
Dondozo
Ability: Unaware
EVs: 180 HP / 76 Atk / 252 SpD
Adamant Nature
I dont think fighting is the coverage you want if going for coverage, and if you insist on fighting I think aura sphere is better
I think oblivious is the play tbh
:c
brb eating but imma think on this during
Irregardless
SPeed or not
Just be aware of which dozo youre running
So like
Thats the more important thing
Less about the Dozo
More about the wincon
the people who joined that tour can only use that 6 mon?
oh that is prog's team
Ya
no that is Tom Haydens that im copying with changes
@mighty stump you against water veil? I see a fair bit of wisp around these days
i suck at teambuilding and i suck at bo3
Have you ever seen Monty Python and the Holy Grail? (I promise its relevant)
yes i've seen it ages ago

i'm not improving.
@gentle delta just watched your video about dragalge in ladder. Great video, really liked the explanations.
Thank you that means a lot
Im just getting started but itll be all trick room content
how'd you get dragalge to work haha
Really solid start so far honestly! Keep with it. With me being new to the vgc side, really helps me understand more about trick room and what you can do with it/against it. If that makes sense Lol.
Thats the plan!
Today we see how we can fare on the ranked ladder with a Dragalge Trick Room team! Special thanks to @chaldavgc for the video suggestion.

To quote my man gandalf
Gotta take some Ls before taking Ws. Just make sure to do your best and learn from the losses. Im extra asf, but I have a notebook that I write my starting 4, their starting 4. And little notes about what I did that helped,hurt, did nothing. And if I lost just a note about why I thought I lost.
Just use PASRS
Someone already did the work for you, just use the template
A lot of useful data
Didn’t know this existed! Thank you! Lmfao
kicksgg has given 1 Gen Rep to woodtofu
Turn 6 is probably one of the rudest acts I have ever committed against an opponent
Watch a replay of a Pokémon battle between programvoid and progatogyt! Format: [Gen 9] VGC 2023 Regulation E (Bo3); Date: Nov 18, 2023
Realized I had no chance of KOing with Earth Power, thats why we have Fissure
Love it when ohko moves come off
I don't recommend relying them in a significant capacity, but Torkoal is a mon that only needs 3 functional moves. You don't often enough click Protect unless you're running Liligant, so you can justify playing around with the fourth slot. Most go for Overheat, Solarbeam, or Clear Smog. And all are quite situational. I prefer Helping Hand or Fissure to help you get out of tight jams. Fissue overall gives you the highest risk reward factor so i only click it in a situation where not clicking it would have the same result as it missing. Like the game I linked.
I thought about messing around with TR Torkoal. Just haven’t looked for a rental yet. TR is getting popular in cart ladder. Most of the teams i saw today running TR
torkoal is very good
I went against like 4 people back to back running armarouge and Indeedee.
Testing my new team in casual, for some reason it doesn't feel right
whats the team
https://pokepast.es/e1cafd7c41b9cbfb
This one, though I have Sitrus on Amounguss
Maybe it's that I just woke up feeling grogy still.
Attempting to tailwind but not sure what to have in lead with Moon
anything on your team except for maybe heatran leads well with Moon depending on the circumstances lol
Hands and Oger let you get up Tailwind the safest though i think
Yeah and I sometimes think if they lead with tornadus I should just kill it as soon as I see it.
Agree with DrayageDrago. Grimmsnarl has been nuts with it. Put up screens while you set up with nasty plot, pivot out whole healing with drain kiss/protecting spectrier, swap to Ogerpon with follow me support for it to sweep has been my basic gameplan
Is anyone thinking of a new team once the second dlc comes out
I definitely want incineroar on my team. The rest I’ll figure out with time 
#banincineroar

im def adding metagross and blaziken
i wanna find an easy way to keep blaziken on the feild for a while to get the speed boosts maxed out
Does anyone have a decent torkoal TR rental or paste? Just wanna mess with it a bit
https://pokepast.es/0f45e253685d301d
this is prog's team
its a very cool team featuring gallade as the fast option
https://pokepast.es/f27b9769c9c0a829
this is my old team tweaking a bit from coldinglight team.
the fast option is flutter sunny day to Hliligant, or torkoal Htyplho, HH and eruption. or even Flutter H typlho sunny day eruption or like eruption moonblast to cover more options
Hlilligant after you and torkoal eruption is also a choice. but with the prevalence of follow me and rage powder it became a bit weaker. but still viable
ps. i have not fixed my EV spread. and i will avoid explaining prog team since i didnt know much about it
Whats the Armarouge Calc'd for in the spdef department?
Im also not sure you need Sunny Day and Drought
but cool shit
Wdym?
This team loses hard to psyspam but that doesnt make it a bad team
You matchup well enough into other things to accept that bad matchup, every team has uphill battle matchups
ive been racking my brain all night trying to decide how hard I wanna work around Roaring Moon for example, they give me trouble
i forgot haha
its been very long since i used it
oh right it lives to shadow ball from timid flutter
Alr makes sense
so i calced it enough to let indeedee die, take a shadow abll without tera then hit back expanding
Well I'm adding primarina if it's good
Oh I thought that water fairy typing would be good
Water/Fairy
Torrent, Liquid Voice (Hidden)
80/74/74/126/116/60
530
Fire/Dark
Blaze, Intimidate (Hidden)
95/115/90/80/90/60
530

It's stats are more spread out so it makes sense
well you do you
Prima is mediocre
as a wise man once said
Too tired to explain why though
Go bed now
"Do whatever you want, theres no perfect team."
Mediocre whats dat mean

look it up
Not good
Not good but not bad. Subpar so to say
Trying but not tired enough lol
Like too tired to do anything
But not tired enough to sleep
Its limbo
well if ur fav pokemon suck, find a way to build around their strengths
Might I suggest frying pan method
after all you can give them supporting teammates that can cover you
also throat spray works on primarina
The ice type has no strengths
Knock yourself out with frying pan then Prog
monke
"incinaroar used throat chop"
after pc lets make reg f teams

also i made a Blaziken build that can outspeed booster flutter mane
also people sayin AV prim eats

its just max max
Could infernape be good
ee

@bold geode 👆
Infernape is..........................

Dogshit
true shit 
well the only thing makes it cool it has fire typing outrage
but even that move is shit
Any method I've tried to apply the Monke it just sucks
last time i met that team, it has focus sash. blaze then outrage boosted in tailwind
Yeah
Sash Blaze funny moments
A method they used in BDSP OU

36+ SpA Protosynthesis Flutter Mane Moonblast vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Blaziken: 136-162 (87.7 - 104.5%) -- 25% chance to OHKO
glomp
leftovers
I really hate Flutter Mane... the big boss in ladder
and i could give it sm HP EVs
I'm gonna try and make a pokepaste for all of this
Like it can hit like truck
But it dies if the side of the pillow was too warm
2 pokemon on the field at once
yeah, u cant control it too. makes it pretty unreliable
time will tell
blaziken is cool
knowing anything useful for reg f is genuinely impossible
no, im replying to monke

To be fair, Mane is one overused and powerful pokemon. If only there are ways to counter it 🤔
there are.
IH heavy slam
and not all flutter have the same sets, so finding the weakness is always good
Hehehehehe Big Tubby ftw
theres a reason IH is also one of the easy top picks. fake out, wild charge, drain punch, heavy slam.
very bulky with AV too
Put heavy slam on hands
I saw some run the Clear Amulet set
Confuses the fuck out of me a lot lol
its prob sword dance/BD variant i think
They might have used the wrong hands @bold geode
SD up once then like spamming drain punch
its not wrong. its just different variant
No I have it, I just play bad
I thought about the raid hands
No it's good
Just used to AV
Making lots of misplays etc
Read what is said to bubu
Me not the brightest sometimes
WTF
I need someone to coach me 
Paradox and legendaries do be powerful
Wasn't in day 2 of Toronto either
yeah ogerpon took a fall in usage somehow
day 1 she was
chienpao rises
OOH yes I played a politoed/metagross team in series 7 and bulldozed to proc my metagross weakness policy
hey our teams are basically mirror
Icicle is powerful
chien & kingambit only different
i mean i did say my team is just meta mons HAHHA
im trying to learn the ropes by the meta first
after i get the hang of it then ill try make teams
but it still have my twist anyway lol
Because of the decline of ogerpon, amoonguss is coming back
oh that makes a lot of sense
There are not many VGC players who are more unhappy about that than myself
THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT GASTRODON AGAIN FUCK
i hate fungus
Shroom funny
Wait... announcers playing?
cough cough ive been trying nasty plot fezan
its budget flutter 
but it being able to kill opposing flutter is pretty nice.
at the cost of shitty attacking moves
*cough cough you're high cough cough
One time I use IH Heavy Slam the flutter had sash 
Cheeseburger
usually timid speed bosster mane either run choice spec or sash
u see the damage. if it hits too hard, prob spec. if not its sash
i mean like max speed timid flutter thing
I believe fire ogerpon dropped because water ogerpon deals with pokemon like urshifu and lando, and people like the bulky attacker type. That allowed amoonguss to creep back
Max speed timid ain't around as much cuz too fast tbh
That may mean fire ogerpon will see a resurgence. We could be in the middle of that shift
Nah people just realized Ogerpon was kinda mid
i mean having the ability to outspeed RM before setting TW can be helpfuil
since it forces it to tera
Wolfe Glick has an entire video talking about how damn good ogerpon is and everyone agreed at one point
It's good don't get me wrong
But compared to Urshifu and Amoongus or other things, it's not as good imo
Like it was overhyped a bit
Maybe so
But now I need to think about the amoonguss match up for my local tomorrow
Which makes me want to go back to fire ogerpon instead of water, which means I need something else to deal with urshifu and lando
ogerpon is my goat
I gotta restructure half my team now and playtest it
amoonguss the goat
Toxic chain lets gooo
Bullshit
Check it out for yourself
Told ya
Hope he uses Wingardium Leviosa to make a Scream Tail float
He should be using Delphox
Whats going on 😂
Harry Potter on stream
My freind doesn't know what pokemon is but he should still know that you battle right?
RIGHT!
What do you think you're struggling with?
- As Roaring Moon from a TM, HM or TR
tofu you think taunt on moon would be good?
Such as?
Using stat moves against Indeedee
Do you mean leading Pranksters into Indeedee
Because regular Status moves will affect Indeedee regardless of Psychic Terrain or not.
Yeah
Meh
moon wants so much
i have tw, knock off, breaking swipe, protect
well it doesnt want a lot
it has a good movepool
Just be sure what role your Roaring Moon is playing specifically on the team
Walance Moons tend to be more supportive rather than an offensive machine
i want it to be more supportive, tw
Balance can go either way, with Paul Chua for example opting for Set-Up offensive
Sorry I'm not god
Don't need to be a god to realise that was mildly pointless "advice"
I'm just trying to help
With the amount of room for misinformation this channel gets considering the main topic at hand
xD dango shredding
I'd sometimes genuinely prefer if people didn't
Right I'm just gonna shut up
Hello
I cant but press it hello
What?
I said that I was gonna shut up
Shrug
fr lmao
Unnecessary
I'm using this bad tactic with maushold population bomb and dipplin's ability
it's ability makes sure that maushold's population bomb always hits 10 times, with technician that gives a base power of 300, then tera normal and stab for base power of 600
Then I have 4 extra mon as back up plans, because the strategy is pretty bad
Sound awesome, any counters for it? Or weakness you have notice?
ghost type
rock and steel type too
that's why I also brought a greninja and kommo-o
they're not the best respective dark and fighting types, but I have them shiny and that gives me an attack boost
Wait does shiny give damage boost? 👀
no it doesn't
Me?
🤔
🥱
Whats going on
🧐
yes
Yes what
yes
yes
I'm so confused
any tips on making this team work in scarlet and violet ? it was really good in season 1 but i wasnt playing competetive since that time and obv there are many new mons and tactics probably, it is made for doubles
https://pokepast.es/896a07ec222e8d97
Anyone has a good stat distribution for tornados?
It can prob work with some major changrs
The spreads need work
harc over arc
Watershifu over Palafin
Do I drop to ultra if I reach Masters and lose?
cant get that
No
your win masterball till the end of the season
a lot of the mons now are from dlc/old games etc
don’t get me wrong, a ton of good mons you can get in sv
i can get mons from every game but sword dlc
🤷♂️
you can probably find some rentals w/o those mons
vikx’s rental is pretty standard, you could try that
what is the best eeveelution??
Don't spread it here pls
what??
Um
oh lol
Have you been in general
im actually asking cuz i have the 100 eevee i wanna evolve
idk of i should do the popular sylveon or tanky umbreon/vaporeon
@true maple leafeon as your an ivysaur
So go for it
easily sylveon
from a comp stand point
the only other really viable one is umbreon
everything else is kinda just bad imo
viablility stand point or for fun
Nice
I went with my original team which I am most used to
if you're gonna copy do it right
I downloaded the image from you
The James Baek Regional winning team with slight changes
well it fucked up somewhere
AND its super low quality
Weird, whatever
69 battles to Masters 

Red how many games did it take for you to hit masters?
it doesnt matter its not a competition
Thank you, current rank is 4366
I’m not competing I just want to know
that's great, you are in the shitter ranks

Congrats
Now I can brew things that people don't expect
@dull ibex it is a competition its competitive
Thank you
theipex has given 1 Gen Rep to woodtofu
Lol
im not competiting against this discord
its hard to read tone in text which is why i specify when im joking
unless its people who know my humor
toxic tofu
🫵
Idc if im the side character
FALSE BUCKETEER
My final opponent had Hisuian Lilligant and Torkal and went with After you Eruption.
Then they had Great Tusk, who died Gholdelgos Shadow Ball (Not nasty ploted)
And they had Flutter Mane, fitting that the final boss was defeated.
Being the main character means you attract attention, and I kinda hate people so
Real
im okay with either
@dull ibex can't you just shut up your talking the most
you're*
???
Damn
damn
if i shut up nobody posts here for hours

Tofu out here correcting people
What else is new
🧢 I talk the most
Fr
now its a competition
Tofu's my adopted son.
hell yeah it is

Sorry I just Lum Berry'd myself out of that adoption status
I text, so much more than I talk to people
It's volatile though.
Damn
yes I do
poorly
I’m just better 🤷♂️
I feel like red is in here more than you are cigar
😎
drago shut yo ass up rn
Imagine using FEELINGS
go back to middle school loser
What're those?
Climb
top 1k
Or don't
yo tofu is bloodmoon anti synergy with rilla?
puberty hits at different times
I don't see why it would be
you're faster than it ig
Earth Power is unaffected by Grassy Terrain
we’re all a little different
The only moves that are affected are Bulldoze/Magnitude/Earthquake
im just looking on pikalytics and iron hands is used a ton more
I mean... I need a team 
Could use what I had but I should probably use something else 🤔
was jus wondering why
Thats mosty for the TR stuff
Probably for the tr
But either work.
alr can u check this team rq
👀
Don't do it, Tofu. It's a trap.
oh no
No, because as i'm on break
oh shit
Woah I thought I had the most hate in this chat but it's drago
I'm just here to do superficial advising
nobody gives you or drago any hate from what I see
Yeah we all just hate Red
Fr
drago is probably well liked
Oh... some shadow tag shenanigans?
you? most hate? 😂
Alright I'm leaving
have good day
Same, take care everyone
nah im here
actually red you are familiar with bm right?
oh can i see the team pls
im trying to make my own team rn with gothi bm and chiyu as the main hitters
https://pokepast.es/815609dbc99a5fd9 its this
I wonder if Pachurisu is viable 🤔
it is not
pachu is power crept into hell rn
I figured 
i already have 2 fake out mons so i dont think that redirect is valuable here
https://pokepast.es/397fca703988a456 red this is the team
no opinion
so not bad nor good??
it looks weird so no opinion
when looking at the judge thingy what does each rating mean in numbers?
is best always 31? or could it be like 25 to 31?
nice then my chiny zoura has best speed thats nice
good luck
thx a bunch less to hyper train then lol
They arent in the game


But we're gonna play games. 👀
Feelings suck, just don’t feel
Sorry if this is the wrong channel, but could really use some advice for ev/iv training, ive only ever played with rental teams and now im gonna try out tournaments and they dont allow rentals🥲🥲 help pls so i can stay on the grind
This is the channel for that
Power items help
you can use 26 vitamins to make a full stat
I fucking hate bands lol
But wouldnt i need to reset the ivs first?
Vikx you’re a bucketeer too
You can’t reset ivs, only evs
I named myself lol
And can u find a list of which mons give what ev?
you need to reset evs can't reset IVs
Ah my bad
OH LETS FUCKING GO
THATS A W
ONLY REASON HAVING SOMEONE COMING OVER IS GOOD
yeah sure give me like 2 minutes
Omg thanks so much dude
26 vitamins for a full stat, thats a lot of $$$
Wait... does eviolite be given to any pokemon or does the game say no?
money is stupid simple to get
Do you have a turbo controller? If so your money is infinite
Only mons that can still evolve
Turbo controller? No dont know what that is lol
Drago everyone else is bucketeer
We must be unique and stand out
Dusclops and Dipplin bring the main ones ig
So Pincurchin can't hold it?
I have like 1.4mil but if i need to train 6 mons i need a lot of dough
No
Yep, it can’t hold it
minecraft time? maybe
Huh...
You can auto farm the ace academy tournament
vc anyone?
No games for me
It can't evolve.
Turbo controller with an amulet coin in the academy tournament is broken
I work a double today 🫠
guess what
And Dipplin can? But it doesn't evolve at this time?
I have nothing to do today
It’s getting an evo in dlc 2
It has an evolution coded so it will evolve soon (dlc2)
Dipplin can use it though, even thought it supposedly can’t evolve
Read the messages above lol
I wasn’t looking as I was typing that😭
Yeah I am, just wondering. Is there other pokemon that have potential evolvultions
I want a trailer
No.
For the dlc 2 stuff
Well there goes my Electric Surge Pincurchin idea 
I want the entei and terakkion paradox forms revealed so I can use wake and raging bolt in reg f
Duraludon is getting an Evo but isn't in now so doesn't count for intent here
Archludon is on my radar
Mine too really
I just hope it’s stats are good
We probably still can’t use walking wake and such since they were a limited time event
It worked on Stantler and Ursaring before Arceus mons were in the game.
It'll be better than Duraludon so that's fine
Ikr
I thought we have its stats
I need more water types than shifu and inconsistent asf bundle (Ogerpon is there too ig)
Probably can. Tbe rest of their trios are being added and leaked have stated a method to catch Wake and Leaves
They are Paradoxes. Not event mons not legends not mythic
They were prereleased
Mirai and korai count as legends
Maybe but if they remain a limited Tim event they aren’t going to be legal
Cuz they’re the box arts lol
Mirai and Korai are legends
I don’t think they’ll be able to be used if they can’t be caught in dlc 2
They won't remain an event lol
otherwise I don’t see why not
They’ll be usable eventually at least
Nvm we do not
Leakers have already stated they'll be catchable
They were right about BM Ursa and other stuff too
We better be able to use walking wake
Let’s just wait till we have guaranteed proof they are catchable first
And dogi had guts and was fast
That never came from the source I check 😄
It was a different source
I only check trusted sources with proven track records of truth
That was severely wrong
So like two
Lol
Which ones
NEVER YouTube videos
Oh god YouTube is horrible
A leak is still a leak just wait till it’s proven whether it’s in a trailer or when the next dlc drops to know if it’s catchable
I am aware - I actually worked for Bandai and EA dealing with leaks.
Leaks aren’t always correct so wait until a piece of hard evidence is shown
I’m just saying don’t get to excited incase you can’t use it
God forbid you scroll through YouTube and the leaker ytbers don’t have a full non silhouette image of dlc 2 things you don’t wanna see until you buy it
The same is true for telling people it definitely will not be catchable.
👀
I just stated the leakers that were 100% correct about Teal Mask have stated a condition for DLC2 paradoxes. Take it at face value.
Leaks definitely should be taken with a grain of salt
But I'm confident they're gonna be in - would be weird to have 2/3 of two trios with the third locked away
Even if they're just catch one and done
Face value nothing has yet been proven for dlc 2, and won’t be till either the dlc drops or Pokémon drop a trailer, I want Walking Wake to be usable, I’m just not getting my hopes up again
Do you know what face value means, duder?
Yes
I'm not sure you do lol
If Entei’s form isn’t just a bigger more prehistoric version of itself imma be pissed😭
Tournament organizer is asking for 2 team sheets, 1 open sheet and 1 staff team sheet, whats the best way to make those?
Thats what they said on their website
What’s the website?
What even is this for? 🤔
Premier challenge
@next stump you around?
Its written in danish, dont think it will help much haha
I can’t read Danish so that’s fair
Im sorry for these stupid questions but i made a bet that if i could land in top 500 on ladder, i would attempt playing some tournys, and i got 409, so now i gotta learn everything hahahaha
Stop apologizing, you’re fine.
It’s all good
Thanks guys

Questions from people stop us from all arguing, and get us to focus on helping other people
Hahahaha happy to help then
Do people in here actually play competitive or just hardcore fans?
Most actually play then not
some people do competitively but personally i cant haha
Server as a whole hardcore fans
Truest statement I’ve heard
no tour officials at my place sadly
Same
Same for me
I get disconnected every time I try play online on the switch because University wifi, in the countryside isn’t great
But I’m fine with online tours
Feels bad
ill prob learn more about teambuilding then try some soon haha
Also just a lack of time and motivation to travel to tournaments, especially because I can’t drive
Those guys did TADC right?
Yes
Dont feel bad, its only nerds in masterball anyway
I should watch that, Murder Drones is it?
Said the nerd….
Yes it is
Masterball is easy to get in, no nerds here
What is cts??
It's hard
You can’t see the opponents Tera or moves
Aaaah makes sense
In OTS (open team sheets) you can see them
What ok, what is your guys rank on ladder?
682
Last I checked like 2000

I’m js joking around, I get it is for some, and that’s ok
I have to win a game in master ball, fuck
Oh wow, so im really nothing special lmao, humbling
oh nvm its 627 
Good for me to get humbled xd
i mean im not proud of it since its just a meta mon team
The rental I have is what I hit masterball with
i just yoinked 6 meta mon from top usage
I’m 7k rn but I haven’t played since I top 2’d last weekend
Idek if I wanna play cart anymore
Sd is so much better tbh
The only things anyone should like cart for lol
and yeah, i dont really like CTS. and theres no tour officials for me. so i kinda dont know what to do
I can only compete in online tournaments
You doing rumble 30 today Dray?
I work a double so unless I get it off no
Ah, Imma sign up
Lol
The one tournament I would have done I passed out before it started
💀
It was the one you got second in
Monke did fine
Yeah
Tbf RNGsus hates me when I compete in a tournament so I prob wouldn’t have even done that well
I missed three magmastorms round one, still won, and then hit every single one after💀💀
Damn right
My line into torn teams is keeping the fucker in so I can kill him
The a9 can set up snow and shit
Like round 5 I played hard ho, swapped rilla for heatran on harc fb and spammed magmastorm w/ tera fairy
So broken on top of lefties + grassy
I beat so many gholds 2-0 that tournament it isn’t funny😭😭
Lol
Baiting tera dragon with heatran rilla lead and then having flutter in the back just destroyed everything
I had a funny kommo-o matchup
btw does magma storm effect persists even if the user faints?
Game 2 they thought I wasn’t ballsy enough to mb kommo-o on their iron def and then fake-out partner, they were so wrong😭😭
it does? dam
tornadus / flutter mane / lando 🛌
Do i really need to grind legends arceus to get a tornadus? 😦
Yikes, someone sell me urshifu and tornadus, i have paypal
Wai do people hate swsh so much
I liked the game tbf
anyone here used showdown 2.0 and showdex?
Everything but what vikxk just said is good
But im playing a turney in 12 days, i dont have time to grind swsh & arc for 2 mons
do any of yall use scarlet and violet 2.2 (stylish) with showdex
How do you configure showdex to fit it?
Well let me rephrase; i liked the trees
@nocturne holly what's showdex
a showdown extension
Never heard it
change the zoom
no nvm you have to use a different theme or deal with it
how did you fix yours?
I don't use that theme
which theme do you use
ok this works
Hi everyone, is there a calculator to determine IVs in PLA?
Like I’ve done some googling and I know a Pokémon’s grit levels correspond to an IV
Like a natural 3 in a stat being a perfect iv while 0 means it’s 0-22 or something like that
I am about to catch heatran and want the 0 attack IVs
https://gamewith.net/pokemon-legends-arceus/article/show/31356
Not really, this is the only information related on it
What no it doesnt
Trapping moves only persist if the user is still on the field
Clamp, Fire Spin, Sand Tomb, etc
Especially Magma Storm
Hey TR god, question. Would Gargonacl work in TR team?
Preserving heatran with magna storm active matters a lot
Maybe I’ve never died when it was up
IVs are not used in PLA.
If you catch a mon and its Grit level in a stat is 0, its IV is anywhere from 0-19. Thats your only hint of any kind the game gives
You shouldn’t answer questions you’re not sure of the answer, it can accidentally provide crucially wrong info
Yes but not in this high power format
Please.... let DLC 2 introduce Rusty caps 🙏
It sick in Reg A to C
Who wouldn’t answer questions when they were sure they were right
It happens mb nothing else I can say
Yeah I just wanted to know what it would be lol. Like I was hoping there was a way to figure it out based off the stats of the Pokémon we catch
When I say sure I mean 100% sure with no room for argument
Yeah its just luck of the draw. For Enamorus it’s particularly miserable since shes the literal last mon you catch
I thought I was 100% sure with no room for argument.
I have BDSP and can catch it there, I’ve just been waiting till I have free time so I can both figure out AND manip a shiny 0attack iv one
Fr they need to
I was too lazy to reset for zero speed iv blood moon ursa😭
What does enamorous want? 0spd?
7 or less
That is pain
Lets it “outspeed” all the 50 Base Speed mons
How do y’all figure that out?
Showdown teambuilder and adjusting stats
I forget the ranges
We wanted Enamorus to be 48 speed or less, which is max 7 IVs
Like what numbers are “decent” “fantastic” etc
No I meant figuring out how to get that iv on cart
Do you believe in God
Because for any PLA mon thats what you need
Yes, the almighty sinnoh
I got my 0 Speed Grit Enamorus in PLA. And transferred to Home and prayed
Whipped out an iv calculator when it was “decent” which is 1-10
And it was exactly 7 😭😭😭
😭
Was so happy lol
If I needed to reset for ivs I would always just go for no good, or zero I can’t settle for anything else
For Enam you cant
I got a max speed iv bloodmoon i don’t have the luxury of going for TR rn 
Also IV of 1 in VGC is identical to zero so if you’re only accepting 0 you’re making your life harder for no reason
I don’t use enam lol
When after 214 resets I finally got a 0 speed Glastrier the Caly was 1 speed too and I was so happy
Sure but thats the whole conversation we’re having
IVs on PLA mons
Welp, just said something still somewhat relating
Yeah, like for other games you can just hope for the best
Yeah.
If you need 0 anything just calc the IV whenever you see decent
It really doesn’t in this topic, mostly because you can’t reset in pla
Because Decent can be 1 which is “0”
Once you check it in home, you already saved
When I rng’d a shiny min speed Bisharp in Ultra Moon I had to settle for 1 because Bisharp had such a low encounter rate that even finding a shiny 1 speed frame took days of resetting
Said somewhat, not relating fully, It’s somewhat relating bc of zero ivs/ivs in general.
Anyway
I need to use sinischa more eventually
I tried to make a sinistcha team for my first of reg-e
Sinistcha is bad imo
Every time I try it in any capacity I’m thoroughly whelmed
Fr
its healing could be pretty pog on the right team
And when I was talking to Elijah Gardner about his Toronto team, he said Sinis would be the first cut if you wanted changes
im starting to regret my harc spread tbh
I kinda be not a fan of teacup either
It can be good but most the time it's a bit mid
playing tr with one setter is odd ngl
Unless it’s dusclops.
im talking about clops
tr without a backup is odd no matter the setter
Also the sd Ursaluna adaptation recently is scary af
its not a setter issue
Eh yeah
But honestly your team shouldn't have that issue?
its not hurting the team but it is weird
I feel like ppl don’t play mindgames with armadeedee enough
That's kinda how the Soft TR/Balance plays out though sadly
@gentle delta
It kinda is
then I should switch teams
Lmao
Just cuz no soft TR
A good armadeedee player uses mind games
Stick with it
It's not a bad team
im playing it like hard tr
In sets or* Bo1
so I should swap to a hard tr team
Can I see the team?
Then that's your fuckin problem
In Bo1 follow me + tr is almost always the play when its blind
this is such a pointless statement
In sets
https://pokepast.es/73a1ec5094b3b3c5 here you go, its really good
That is literally not hard tr
that's why I said I should swap
Oh god
its not an insult to the team
Torkoal is a staple in hard tr no?
Point is
Yours is soft cuz it can stand to not be in TR
You can play and get to a board state to set it up and sweep
Hard TR you don't really have that as much
your point was to insult me for saying I should play a hard tr team instead lmao
Obviously I need more info to agree or disagree with the use of follow me but psyspam turn 1s are a flow chart
Does this work? No? Okay what about this, and so on.
Follow Me is your first best option always
tbh im not sure I dont see alot of hard tr
No it wasn't
My point was this
Well, you’re complaining about the team having only one setter. So the literal best move is to do hard tr from there
that is literally what i said prog lmao
Ok.
I said I play this like hard tr so i switch to hard tr instead
Then how is that an insult
Imma just sit back
this is insulting
You can play soft tr like hard tr a lot of times but you need to know when to press the gas on the fast mode
Well I'm saying you don't always have to play it by setting TR immediately
Personally I hate that clops team Ive never liked it
Fr, seems rather one dimensional
but I switched to this because It did well in tournaments
Dont ask for advice then complain
first of all
Its not that, just feels disconnected
that isnt what happened
Wdym?
I asserted I should switch to hard tr and got insulted for it
Are we really doing this now
Nobody insulted you, you’re being a baby
that's your fucking probelm is an insult
No its not
yes it literally is that is ridiculous
Grow some skin
Ok tbf I did word it wrong
God just fucking drop it.
I will admit that
dont be an ass.
I dont find the fast mode and slow mode blend well enough
monke its fine, im in a bad mood
Now can we stop plz for the love of God
