Spiky shield or swords dance?

Don't blame me if it's bad blame reddit

It's the only place I could find on this phone

charred saddle

we havent even said anythig?

and heatran usually does that too.

gloomy crescent
#

So is it good?

charred saddle
#

not necessarily but it helps with certain match up

gloomy crescent
#

1 to 10 how good is it

charred saddle

???

it depends on matchups.

Noooooooooooooo I was researching more and I encountered the photo are you a robot nooooooooo

I don't know what else to build tho lmao

Maybe it's because I'am a dronw

Drone they are technically robots

nocturne holly
#

Like some mons are “better” than others

#

But they have their niches and uses dependent on the team

gloomy crescent
#

So only use the lure if the match ups are good

#

@fathom geyser you playing VGC or singles

nocturne holly
#

no if the team needs it

fathom geyser
#

vgc

gloomy crescent
#

Ok

#

It works then

charred saddle
#

at that point better to run flutter / heatran

gloomy crescent
#

With the lure I'm on about its 4v4 right

#

So you can use it depending on the match ups

#

If they are bad don't use it for that match

dull ibex
#

hello

charred saddle
#

flutter is just better ghost typing, and it doesnt rely on TR.
heatran is bulky, can do the same grass tera and nice move pool

dull ibex
#

what is this about?

charred saddle

its not that chandelure is bad, they just have better use

tbh chandelure is kind of way too fast for tr

This team sucks lmao

charred saddle
#

80 speed is awkward

and the bulk... 65 hp

dull ibex
#

yeah 80 is awkward but its not slow enough for tr

fathom geyser
#

Chandelur has that big big special attack tho ( was my reasoning)

ik, i didnt say chandy is for TR

there is plenty of things with a huge special attack

I can't play with other people's teams because it doesn't compute with me

Especially if I send a team which is usually incredibly basic

fathom geyser
#

I do outrageous misplays, more than usually when using teams I didn't make (because I am clueless with what the intention behind certain decisions were)

#

It's not a mindset it's an active skill issue lmao

which is a mindset issue

i have notes on my own team if u wanna look at it

what is your team?

its there with docs note in the rentals

charred saddle

I am just gonna do the stupid thing and not take that advice, I am sorry.

dull ibex

how are you going to stop making misplays if you don't practice with a team and take notes?

fathom geyser
#

That's what I do with the teams I make

#

Clearly not working but still

silver ravine
#

For Rillaboom is it worth running stomping tantrum/high horsepower? Debateing if I want to make it a bulky attacker or offensive pivot. All the bulky attacker sets run wood hammer and one also runs grassy glide.

dull ibex
#

so you'd rather play stuff like chandelure instead of learning meta? alright fair enough

charred saddle
#

High horsepower all the way

dull ibex
#

if anyone else needs help with a team feel free too ping me

fathom geyser
charred saddle
#

i usually run AV Fake out grassy glide wood hammer and high horsepower

dull ibex
#

if you're alright with that, respect

silver ravine
gentle cragBOT
charred saddle
#

that is if you have others to cover the lack of high horsepower

fathom geyser
#

I am more than alright with that. Sometimes it did work out for me tho, like eject button amogus or Tera flying hurricane Iron Moth. (During the seasons those teams were built for)

#

What pairs with heatran I am kinda drawing blank lmao

#

Besides the flutter of mane

#

Is Iron bundle a good idea? I'm thinking against ogerpon, landerous, chi yu

silver ravine
# charred saddle that is if you have others to cover the lack of high horsepower

Yeah I might just keep high horsepower then. Right now I have a bulky offense fwg core with Incineroar (SoonTM), Rillaboom, and Rotom-Wash. Atm all three have a pivot move, but I'm thinking of getting rid of volt switch, tho it is a stab for Rotom. Just working on the remaining three, but I'm thinking of including Kingambit.

First off although it sounds dumb, need better quality picture. On the Switch if you screenshot that screen and go to photos, it should give an option to send it to smartphone (need a QR reader to do so)

Need a paste that way people know what EVs, items, moves and teras you're running. Make sure it's accurate to the rental

you could probably switch gyarados for sd waterpon and cress out for something

Half the time you’d rather not click it

i think it hurts the TR aspect but if i play to sweep after TR its not terrible

its by no means bad
i can see it working on that team

im new to competitive and i got no clue how to build a team myself

i took that one a lil more seriously by not adding mabo and whats bad with ursa spread? take away some atk since im running SD?

rustic mountain
#

usually dont have ev spreads tho, have to dig a bit deeper for those if they are even shared

ember linden
#

That helps me team build a lot

rustic mountain
#

id recommend using other peoples teams first so u familiarize urself w/ wat works and why it does

#

experience is the best teacher

ember linden
#

Real

#

yeah that was my plan

dapper crag

steal teams from VGCvictory road or YT from smart people

and try not to steal meme teams

What would be a good Incineroar fill in to use until the dlc drops? While intimidate is nice, I want something bulky, has fake out, and can pivot out

bold geode
rustic mountain

b/w hands and waterpon urshifu usually isnt an issue either

dull ibex
#

eh might leave it off for a bit

rustic mountain

literally hands

triple fake out core gna go crazy

dull ibex

no it wont

bold geode

Rillaboom can also be the same
But Hands go fuckin HARD

bold geode
dull ibex
#

I think doule fakeout is the most you'll get away with

bold geode
#

Well yeah
But why Fake out both slots in a turn?

dull ibex
#

wut?

bold geode
#

But I mean triple fake out could possibly work
Idk maybe maybe not
Also gotta consider Upper Hand also coming

silver ravine
#

Thanks guys. I'd give you all rep if I could and or if it was feasible. What would be a good av replacement for hands? Atm I got it on Rilla

rustic mountain
#

while i do think triple is overkill i cant imagine rilla, incin and iron hands being bad on a team either. its jus good pokemon. rilla/urshi/incin fwg was already super good. iron hands being on that cant make it worse

bold geode
rustic mountain
#

also no proof upper hand is gna b good. i think its gna b mid personally but we gta wait nd see how prominent itll be before assessing it like that

tbh I reccomend wellspring over hearthflame

Actually other ideas
Yeah go Waterpon and Harc

Harc being Hisuian Arcanine

may be a good idea, and then I could use the harc I have ready

what item for the arc?

dull ibex

im going back to my original team

also run banded harc

it did well in dmax

im sure itll b fine haha

if I go shifu, mystic water or scarf?

and u can invest in bulk

Ah
Well then
Guess I'm using Afro Plant possibly

im not sure itll overtake torn useage but it def has a place

torn is probably better

depends on the moveset it gets ig

it keeps its moveset from swsh it will be fine

i’ve never tried getting into competitive but i’m just curious as to what the time commitment to comp is vs smth like shiny hunting. i’ve put smth crazy like 1400 hours into shiny hunting this past year so i’d like to try to get into it as long as it’s less or equally as time consuming🫡

fallen rivet

Eh nowadays I'd say it's less than or equal to

previously it was a lot longer

I'd say yeah it'd probably be less or equal time consuming unless you specifically hunt down shinies for your team

Lillikoal was solid

def not niche

im not sayin ur clicking it often

Is iron bundle still ok or is it washed

but niche implies its not used in a moveslot wen it has been and people have gotten results w/ that and spoken about it as an option. chuppa spoke on how strong it can be where u otherwise wouldnt be getting kos

I click Tera blast more than I click head smash
