HAHAHAHA
what
Nvm I just read what was on my screen lmao
Also I have no clue what hisuian arcenine does, is it just still arcenine?
it cool
Ye but what it do?
no, rock fire type
intimidate
rockslide flare blitz stab
rock coverage good for ho torn
wisp and snarl
choice band sets do insane damahe
The academy
basically arcanine but more offensive
Its all gonna be double battles
Ah
PvE wise
Higher level and competitive sets apparently
Battle Tower as a whole ass DLC
So im hoping I can get some fun PvE this time around
oh thats cool
Are the more balanced teams like yours the meta rn?
Epico
what was his team
eehhhh not really haha. but my mon are basically 6 mon from top 12 with the most usage during regionals
i just yoinked them and make it
I should probably make this Shiftry team for the tour on Saturday
its my rental team
just check it in #rental_teams
What counters urshifu specifically?
i havent change teams
still trying to fix EVs
The woter one
water ursh, is waterpon and rilla
Epico
I think chandelure would be fun to build a team around
Does it just get mauled by fluttermane?
-calc 40/25
Result: 1.600000
Are you guys playing?
playing what
what
how does the calc have anything to do with tic tac toe
😂 🤣
What does dengo do in comp
@fathom geyser how does it have anything to do with tic tac toe
hi
Nothing
So why did you ask 😂
We love a shiftry team
It's a good support mon
??
defog??
😭
Is it emotional support?
You just press detect with flame orb and spam drain punch/rock slide with it.
the only one time i saw it, guts flame orb drain punch
The classic since gen 5
Oh I never got hit
Maybe it was because it was setting up something
Like bulk up
Water oger mauls heatran? Correct?
never got hit or never move and do a thing =/= support
I only understood that till you said =/= support
That’s what it does
It’s not support
Guys flame orb
Mach punch
Drain punch
- As Conkeldurr from a TM, HM or TR
- As Gurdurr from a TM, HM or TR
- As Timburr from a TM, HM or TR
- As Conkeldurr from a TM, HM or TR
- As Gurdurr from a TM, HM or TR
- As Timburr from a TM, HM or TR
Non stab facade
Tera normal facade
Fighting
Guts, Sheer Force, Iron Fist (Hidden)
105/140/95/55/65/45
505
Wowie
at that point just use ursaluna
Yea but i don't like the bear
The one time I used it it always got bullied lmao
My current idea is just to throw together a trick room team and adjust the EV spreads after
Wdym by maul
i mean u can just go like cress. like cress ursaluna
Murder, kill, game end, beat to death.
I don't feel like reset hunting a 0 atk cresselia
Oh yeah
Wasn't waterpon ment for stopping rapidshifu
I know but my ape brain tells me to be optimal with IV's
Yeah but a single Pokemon that's good against more than one Pokémon is good
yesn't
watershifu can still u turn Super effective to waterppon
Spiky shield or swords dance?
but if its locked to surging with choice scarf and you know its scarfed you basically won the match up
I got multiple redirectors so far
spiky shield is needed
usually people go follow me for support, swords dance if not
The bright side is that when home compatibility comes for the next game you’ll already have a 0 Atk IV Cress
was necrozma good in restricted?
I might as well make it "appear" at that point, my only access to cress is white 2 rn lmao
Ultra necrozma yes
It got outshined by other restricteds
I usually tera pon before fighting a rapishifu
What do you guys think? (Ignore the ev's)
I got no clue what tera to put on chandellur
Ghost/Fire
Flash Fire, Flame Body, Infiltrator (Hidden)
60/55/90/145/90/80
520
you might want to have other options rather than going hard trick room
chandelure is in awkward speed position
Have grass tera with flash fire ive researched
Don't blame me if it's bad blame reddit
It's the only place I could find on this phone
we havent even said anythig?
and heatran usually does that too.
So is it good?
not necessarily but it helps with certain match up
1 to 10 how good is it
Noooooooooooooo I was researching more and I encountered the photo are you a robot nooooooooo
I suck at these
I don't know what else to build tho lmao
I didn't pass :l
Maybe it's because I'am a dronw
Drone they are technically robots
That’s completely dependent on the team
Like some mons are “better” than others
But they have their niches and uses dependent on the team
So only use the lure if the match ups are good
@fathom geyser you playing VGC or singles
no if the team needs it
vgc
at that point better to run flutter / heatran
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
hello
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
what is this about?
its not that chandelure is bad, they just have better use
this
We are helping someone depend on what to do with their lure
oh yeah I have a second shiny flutter 🙂
noice
chandy does imprison iirc
Nice
chandelure doesnt either
I cant wait till my friends get scarlet so I can shiny hunt with them and also get shiny scarlet paradoxes
tbh chandelure is kind of way too fast for tr
This team sucks lmao
80 speed is awkward
and the bulk... 65 hp
yeah 80 is awkward but its not slow enough for tr
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
But dusc is super bulky that surprised me
Right I need to go into the shower now everyone so I can't help anymore
Ghost
Pressure, Frisk (Hidden)
40/70/130/60/130/25
455
I lost to two relatively gimmicky teams in a row
flutter mane has slightly less special attack
130 times 1.5 lol
but is way way better then chandelure
@fathom geyser these people can help I cant tho as I'm stupid
dw
monarch send the team?
this one red
is this vgc?
yes
ye
because there is a few probelms here
@fathom geyser before you build the team Try it out in showdown
That's what I am doing
Yes :)
The team is a tr mode
are you okay with just using a different tr team?
But I am already tossing the team lmao
https://pokepast.es/c85e24bb228eb163 I reccomend this team
It might be better if I just play something sane for a change
Clops Bloodmoon is insanely powerful under tr and this team doesnt have to use tr if it doesnt want too
I can't play with other people's teams because it doesn't compute with me
tbh I would ditch this thinking
Especially if I send a team which is usually incredibly basic
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
have not change a single thing from meta haha
I am just gonna do the stupid thing and not take that advice, I am sorry.
how are you going to stop making misplays if you don't practice with a team and take notes?
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.
so you'd rather play stuff like chandelure instead of learning meta? alright fair enough
High horsepower all the way
horsepower is really good
if anyone else needs help with a team feel free too ping me
I already dropped the idea of chandelure, but yes I do tend to play with subpar pokemans
i usually run AV Fake out grassy glide wood hammer and high horsepower
tbh that's why they don't work
if you're alright with that, respect
Stealing this ty. 😛
striferealists has given 1 Gen Rep to abused1
theres also other choice, changing high horsepower with U turn
that is if you have others to cover the lack of high horsepower
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
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.
anyone wanna battle
i can play once maybe
but im playing mahjong as well 
cool challenge me, redstonejesus
Only if it’s a rap battle (I’m working and can’t play cart or sd)
i like rilla + tran + bundle, forms a sweet FWG core with terrain support for tran, bundle is great for offensive pressure and speed control, at least thats what i used a few months ago in reg d i think
wdym by tran?
heatran
Lemme spectate
May I also have some EV spreads @charred saddle

Are we all taking evs spreads from bubu now 😂
i mean go ahead and take it
Where are they?
gg
gg my bad i cant focus haha
idk why i tera the waterpon haha
that lost you the game
go for one more?
before i go sleep
ty
Thank you!
sure challenge

is bo3 fine?
why is rilla tera water?
hmm
Maybe to stop fire and flying attacks
i forgot why i choose water haha
ah ok
ill think about it after this game
Bubu am I close
fire tera does the same and prevents WoW
ye thats what my rilla runs, thats why im asking 
Oh yeah red uses that
if theres something im missing
Atleast in his old team
im hoping to wake up
Yall does anyone have any swsh rentals as I can't use the rental @dull ibex showed me anymore
oh u left
I won the bo3 technically
I won two games so im taking a break
this is alot of pivoting for what is hyper offense LMAO
dude that amoongus hands lead is so bad for you
just be glad it wasnt rocky helmet
90 acc please
spore is nerfed
wha
oh i remember. its for water shifu match up
@dull ibex that swsh rental ain't working
my team is pretty weak to watershifu
YES!!! MASTER RANK ON SINGLES AND DOUBLES!!!
so i kinda opted to water tera to deny it more
The swsh rental you showed me before
the only counter is waterpon with rilla
congrats 🙂
waterpon can even still be u turned
yeah you enter the code once and keep it forever
what
does grass not resist water already? why would you tera water in front of shifu
Thank you, I just ranked single for the rewards. Now I can focus on doubles
theipex has given 1 Gen Rep to mlbd
or whats going on
I'll tell ya it never worked
there you go more rentals
Thanks
ofc not tera infront of shifu, its against other matchups like firepon
🫡
last time i build this team theres a lot of firepon
Ty
leafyglace123 has given 1 Gen Rep to redstonejesus
even vs firepon fire is better because they run double stab no? water still gets hit hard then
alright ggs bubu good luck V im going back to portal 2 🫡
but not now tho. im still keeping the eevee outbreaks
what Tera for amoonguss
ill be around but paying less attention
water or fire
water commonly
Master ranks achived, pokedex finished... now what?
ye but gib luck first, its still not working
i saw only once with fire tera
I mean I counter waterpon pre Tera

set a rank goal in master ball
top 1000, 3000, 5000, etc.
waterpon redirecting spore is annoying af
is anything other than steadfast immune to follow me
im at 11
with 2x 1/50 marks, thats all 
Steel/Dragon
Light Metal, Heavy Metal, Stalwart (Hidden)
70/95/115/120/50/85
535
wait. no 1/100?
Top 1000 maybe, don't know about 100 
Need to modify team etc. For some reason I don't know if I wanna run Gholdengo
no it’s stalwart
only lunch and sleepy 😭
i wonder how restricted is gonna be with all the legends running around
its 5% boosted each mark. so isnt it 20%
like tera types on legends and that stuff
nope, its only one mark per outbreak i think, but thats still 5% 
especially groudon and kyogre
so every outbreak has one mark thats boosted
cough cough water tera water spout kyogre
Waterpon: tis but a scratch
ill move to dms since it could clog chat
kek
@dull ibex this is the team i chose if you care
great I hope it works well
I hope too
Looks solid
I'm going to post a rental for s v in a bit
If someone can teach me how to make it a rental
Yes iam a stupid drone
choice scarf Max airstream regieleki. enabling calyrex shadow
i hate watching that team
Does anyone wanna play?
that sounds fantastic
Lol
https://pokepast.es/1786e04fff34032b I got mauled by Thunderous
I still have no clue what to calc the spreads for so I just did max max or silly garbo with iron hands
forgor the tera's for bundle and mane woops
Also man?!
I'm sorry but your talking to a drone
ok?
If you don't know what that is a robot
I know what it means
If you don't know what a robot means well then I don't know what to say
U an ai or something?
Kinda
I walk and talk
And kill other drones maybe that's too far
Yall how do I post rental teams
In cart you’ll need to go to battle stadium>rental teams>share your battle team
Once you get the code in game you can post the rental team and paste + any other info
Should be the same for both
Nice to see spreads and if you have any weird ivs
Iron hands tera grass Yae or Nae?
Think Tera grass has fallen off a bit for water/fire since amoongus fell off a bit
epico
What should I name the team

V I think just V I can't think
oh i just thought of a nice lead against the iron hand amoonguss lead,
Harc and waterpon. follow me and flareblitz to amoonguss.
if you fake out on Harc, u cant spore it either way.
so its prob see if it protect amoonguss t1, if it doesnt ill flare blitz to IH. not tera fairy to cover IH grass tera
even if waterpon dies to pollen puff that turn, i can put in rilla and rinse and repeat
Drain Punched the Harc 
follow me
Water tera 
reds is grass tera tho 
#rental_teams I have posted it
The Amoongus
Or even better
tofu did tell you to follow format. pokepaste is so that people can see ur team more clearly
It switches out 
Bruh I'll post it another time I haven't got time
and theres no item on urshifu 
I forgot so stupid iam
light clay > icy rock
Lemme fix it
since veil benefits the whole team, icy rock only benefits bax
Hey im New
I'm giving it mystic water
hi New /j
Welcome 
anyway me go sleep
Is this server for Trading?
Yes but not only that
i mean water tera amoonguss loses to a horn leech duke out with waterpon i think
Make sure to read the trading rules
read the reading rules 
Reading rules? Trading rules 😂
Idk why it even
ur very welcome to tera raids if u failed at reading the reading rules
I'm being haunted by a misdreavus
why are people runnning minimize muk?
Um muks a good mon
Cuz gimmicks are a bitch
Sounds about right
I am somewhat surprised this team works
u havent saw the complete gimmick
minimize muk, moody scovillain, costar flamigo
and on top of that, donbozo
ive played with it once. and its not fun.
That sounds fire
@gloomy crescent your shifu doesn’t have an item equipped might wanna redo the rental and maybe give some details on what typical leads are
Bubu said
And I can't change it for 6 hours
If yall can read I said can no one comment on it 💀
The Nicknames are intelligent and nuanced.
@gloomy crescent here's a list of things to fix for it once you can
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
Some details about the team would be nice, such as leads or weaknesses
Ok
Why post it if you don’t want people to comment on it? Sorry just trying to understand
I don't like it when people judge other peoples decisions if you read my about me you'd learn
judgement and criticism aren't the same thing though
Ya know what I mean right
based
Everyone in the server wants to help you be better. It’s no judgement, they just want to help you improve your gameplay
You aren't th
You don't know me
True
We where doing math problems
I just realized that I need to get heatran from gen5 breh
And I just proved my stupidness I just used dual suppressed pistols on a drum shotgun user 💀
ok
The very first heatran I caught has Zero attack IV 💀
lucky ass mf
I hope that luck carries on with the fluttermane I am hunting for
Has anyone in here tried using wind rider shiftry with Palafin/pelliper?
sounds like a good core, ive seen similar stuff. you could take inspiration from Jeudy azurelli's team - https://pokepast.es/cebbee3b6435cc2a
what tourney was this
2023 san diego, kinda old. thought it could be decent reference because of the recent salamance choice scarf team they made. P.S. it says 2023 on the site but the tournament was held on Nov 10 2022
anyways, I came here to ask for thoughts ~ https://pokepast.es/f4b0bac10f394595
I personally think sinistcha is not very good.
gp, i love hospitality tho
i think sinistcha is alr, might benefit more from rocky helm
also i dont see a lot of output damage imo
youre only real damage is mabostiff and heat
yes
Screens typically have setup mons on it, feel like there is a lot of potential not being used
im so glad you added mabostiff
I like the team though I am not a good source of advice for team building
Idk about tr on this team
okay what would be suggested then cause I dont use grimm/screens too much
you could probably switch gyarados for sd waterpon and cress out for something
i think sinistcha is great on screens
i was thikning gyarados specifically for amoongus
intimidate form gyara mabostiff works well with hospitality and grimm
waterpon handles amoonguss well
and mabostiff mostly for gholdengo
Landorus is just such a better amoonguss answer
yea but then im using ogerpon
If you need more damage, I recommend kommo-o, heal the damage from clangerous soul with the tea
so
SD ogerpon is very viable lol I consider it
Yeah I personally think Sinistcha is only really good when paired with setup strats, like Kommo-o stuff
Won 2 battles in a row. Sign me up for VGC. Shame that doubles with all six mons isn't the VGC format
I beg to differ
you think its not?
I played it for a while, and ended up opting for grassy glide instead
swords dance pon can work
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
Pon gets grassy glide?
with screens
Yup
I can just sd and threaten follow me with another sweeper nextt to him
Man I'm blind
tbh youre team doesnt really need tr
With screens sure, but I’m talking in general
ugh
Do you recommend it over horn leech?
Like it’s not a slaponable move imo
its still viable
Yes
Wait I said it isn’t just realized that
Mb lmao
yes you dd\id
anyways @dapper crag so i think waterpon would work over gyara
landot would be fine on this team
also dont know how much you need tr
Does anyone wanna play a few games over showdown?
mabostiff isnt doing too much
ty for the feedback :)))
Yeah waterpon over gyara, rilla over mabostiff
CoolMothGuy
ima go test the team a bit and probably throw away gyra and mabo but
K
i wanna try em before i do
and landot over cress imo
Fs
TR < torn ursh change my mind
sent
its trying its best 
If you want tr go regular ursa with sd
okay but the meta game is also P fast i just gotta play to my counters i feel
One sec lemme paste my team
Ots is already there
tour results would say this is tru
and i also agree haha
You either hate armadeedee or love it
No in between
I been thinkin bout this team for a min
Fix the ursa spread lol
Looking better tho
is there a place i can search for teams that use a specific pokemon i want to use
Right
im new to competitive and i got no clue how to build a team myself
in terms of like moveset and tera? victory road posts the pastes from the teams that did well
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?
usually dont have ev spreads tho, have to dig a bit deeper for those if they are even shared
Open a word doc, and put three specific things you want your team to do
That helps me team build a lot
id recommend using other peoples teams first so u familiarize urself w/ wat works and why it does
experience is the best teacher
Real
yeah that was my plan
best thing to do
steal teams from VGCvictory road or YT from smart people
and try not to steal meme teams
also people like cybertron have really good vids on their channel, explaining their thought process
248 doesn’t work at level 50, neither does 8 in sp,def
was gonna mention him, neilvgc and james baek although they sometimes post meme teams
It’s extra points for no value
any number thats divisible by 8 is wasting evs, def remember that
Gg
i thought i had 244 and 12 lol
Oh alr
Wait I didn't realize it was Bo3 how does this work lmao
just press ready
its 8 + 4
@fathom geyser agree to open team sheets
baek and aaron feature a decent mix of more ladder teams and also teams that placed well at irl tours. the meme teams are like what thatsaplusone posts
is walking wake in this set?
No
😦
Probably won’t come till restricted format
okay but have you guys heard of --->> Beast Coast Pokemon YT <<---
Yeah, never cared to watch them
i feel like walking wake is a mythic no?
Competitive Tree moments
lol
jus dont come here as much
But DCH
yea cuz breeding chat is chill
They can be combined into one category of proto/drive mons but they don’t feel like legendaries and mythicals, but also don’t feel like regular mons
Lmao yeah here it's just pandemonium sometimes
You changed your shit
Yes
Praise Winton
gg
Gg
last round
I'm still confused how the bo3 works lmao
Best of three is in the name
I like at least looking at breeding chat every now and then
Sort of a detoxification of sorts
Yeah
You ever play Rock Paper Scissors

🪨 🗞️ ✂️
Best of 3 Rock Paper Scissors
Same idea
I pick the battle axe
I win it all
Soon imma make an rockpon sand team
Step 1: Don't
Ttar is so bad lmao
rockpon tr hybrid teams have done well and there was that 1 sand harc ttar team that won but combined seems a bit tough
It dying for setup is pog
I am trying to make Empolion work in showdown 
Progatog did it
It's actually crazy
Absolutely horrible typing into this format
i used empoleon on an a9 team that cybertron featured

its useable, jus hard to bring a decent amount
Put the plug in lmao
gg im fucking throwing
Gg
@fathom geyser lets go again
sand ogerpon team?
Empoleon gets hydro cannon
and what did they do
One sec let me switch to laptop

No the TR hybrid
ohhhhh
Basically Follow Me and die lmao
the top 8 team?
Huh
User name is coolermoth
If it was Psyspam,then probably
once sec
ok
Prog did with Psyspam
Oger can follow me and die, taking two attacks unless Surging Strikes cuz Rockpon got built in sash
And Armarouge sets TR, Rockpon die, Indeedee come in
look at the 7th team
jus was confused which one ur talkin bout but this is wat i meant for successful rockpon team
Hey what are some good non-legendary tailwind setters?
No no
He did with Psyspam
Roaring Moon is good
none, murkrow got power crept and doesnt have good typing rn, and illumise is memey
oh i consider rm legendary equivalent but yea its a good one
I see. I have violet so I'd have to trade for one but I think I'll try and go for that
Yeah Roaring Moon with speed boost ain't too bad
yea i jus dont know who ur talkin about and the context. they placed well w/ it irl?
Oh no here in the server
Hasn't placed well with it but he's basically whenever someone asks Tofu about TR, Tofu just pings him lol
pelliper for rain teams
ahhh ok haha
salamence for more niche tailwind
Basically he comp chat TR man
i like rm w/ speed boost. using it rn on the weezing team wolfey used. jus made it shiny 
I'm trying to get my doubles team ready for the dlc lol. Right now I only have a flutter mane, ogerpon, and iron hands ready
gg
gg
id get the rest ready soon its gna b a new format in like a month
less for the sd gamers
yea i cant wait for incen
I'm so poor in game lol
gonna put him on every tr team i make
u can manually ev train w/ power items, or jus grind ogre oustin for mochi
@nocturne holly are we still playing or no?
Oh true
rip pokejobs
i gtg
you played great
booster spe flutter is the bane of my existence
Lmao that team is a bit wild
It's actually crazy how people are also able to make Weezing and Rillaboom work
i was thinking ab rilla weezing too, real cool combo
kinda, 3 of the mons arent affected by neutralizing gas. and also its not like ur supposed to be bringing weezing to every game anyway. but in the ones i have its very good usually
havent played much recently but i almost got top 500 w/ it on an alt in like a day
Yeah
But it's like when the pivoting is so good that it's like Surge isn't affected it's like damn
But you wanna know who the REAL goat is
yea i think it has a high skill cap cause u have to know wen u want to turn off abilities and such when evaluating ur board position. but generally weezing has good staying power and w/ such a physical leaning meta, will o wisp is really oppressive a lot of times. also being able to protect infront of urshi is pog
You know... Tornadus and Farigaraf pairs well together. Who knew
underhill and a few others have shown success w/ it pretty recently
Ok I've made a post in the home trades section for a roaring moon. Hopefully I find one before the dlc comes out lmao
Wisp is good too
Like Wisp also being able to be the only way to dampen Urshifu SS is also pog
yea
weezing is fun
it has insane staying power
I forgot to readd fake out to my hands
RIP
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
Lmao
Funny
b/w hands and waterpon urshifu usually isnt an issue either
eh might leave it off for a bit
Hands rn
literally hands
My testing with Empolion 
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2023regulatione-1995774461
Watch a replay of a Pokémon battle between Ipeximus and Aghostdf! Format: [Gen 9] VGC 2023 Regulation E; Date: Nov 21, 2023
triple fake out core gna go crazy
no it wont
Rillaboom can also be the same
But Hands go fuckin HARD
rilla as well maybe?
Idk Waltuh it could
I think doule fakeout is the most you'll get away with
wut?
But I mean triple fake out could possibly work
Idk maybe maybe not
Also gotta consider Upper Hand also coming
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
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
Honestly
Put AV on Hands and go Miracle Seed/Meadow Plate Rilla
Offensive Boom is valid AF
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
That'll work as Rilla is already a bulky attacker on my team. Thank you
av hands is the best hands
striferealists has given 1 Gen Rep to dollarmonke
you can do way better
Sure thing
ofc u can, i never said u couldnt
Lmao random dude
Also Tree I'm gonna put Annihilape up against Incineroar see what happens
Ok so I have bulky mane, av hands, and fire ogerpon ready for the dlc. I'm thinking of adding rm for speed control, but what else should I add?
imagine being me and falling to 7k
Can't go wrong with a water type honestly in my book
Bro that night I streamed cart
I actually missed so many Hydro Pumps that I replaced it with Water Pulse for a sec
im better then this
which ones would you recommend?
this is unacceptable
The main one is legendary lmao
lul
tbh I reccomend wellspring over hearthflame
may be a good idea, and then I could use the harc I have ready
what item for the arc?
im going back to my original team
i think b/w intimidate increasing w/ incins return and whimsicott, ape can make a comeback, tho not sure how much
also run banded harc
tw beat up def benefits it
Yeah
Also Fake Out can't hit it
Can't do Parting Shot into it
Intimidate
Fire tera is favorable on Ape anyways so you can tera for like suspecting Incin/Mane leads
OH YEAH I FORGOT WHIMSICOTT
Ok that's 5/6. Probably need some special oomph. Any ideas

Bruh
Although I feel like now it might be fuckin paper
if I go shifu, mystic water or scarf?
and u can invest in bulk
But dmax also was a whole different ballpark
whim is uneffected by tera
With Chien Pao you can experiment on both items, although either way, you want Adamant Shifu
whims was good b4 dmax too
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
yea likely but resisting stuff like urshi and iron hands w/o tera is nice
im definitely taking whim over torn though

hatt is getting eforce back!
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🫡
I'd say yeah it'd probably be less or equal time consuming unless you specifically hunt down shinies for your team
i feel called out
Lmao
Come on indigo disk, give me my loaded dice triple axel weaville, I beg of you
But like most of the time is spent on Showdown tryna build a team that works for you
The building it on cart part takes for me like
A week max?
give pao triple axel
That's if you don't have the resources already
DO NOT GIVE PAO TRIPLE AXEL
I would use that. Give the weavile fake out and fling with kings rock
I was grinding the battle tower ribbon for Weavile, and it was so fun to use it. It’s so powerful!
What is he cooking
Tree if that happens, I'm hunting you down
In sword and shield
Stg that would be hilarious
Is it a good play? No, probably not. Is it fun? Yes

Here's my cooking:
Give delphox psychic terrain instead of magician
Could work!
to hackmons we go
Tree you're cooking like Walter White rn
it needs something
so perfection
Yes and no
haha
or shield dust to meganium
Yee it could! Just remember that Weavile dies with a sneeze so you might not get that double flinch
*snease
theyll jus give zard a new form instead
Best idea: give Infernape bulk
Mephiles: "The Answer Is Yes... and No."
Sonic the Hedgehog 2006. Shadow and Mephiles. The Answer Is Yes, and No.
itd have to lose that in another stat tho
Give Infernape bulk so it has a fucking chance plz I'm begging
lmao
No
We just ignore that
its ok in regional dex
what
i remember wen bdsp meta was a thing for like 2 weeks it was decent
now it falls like most to power creep
Sash Overheat monkey
no battle gimmicks
It was really nostalgic for me, I played like 2k hours in pearl
Coming back and doing it in 3d 😩😩 to bad swsh kept all the active players
Never hunted for that 
overall im not a big fan of gen 4 either
Tbf I didn't know how
except im not
Stfu Rotom
for the mythicals?
Yeah I was dumb
Oh I knew that
I didn't think "oh I could reset for shiny"
I have 
Now I'm resetting feeding my Miraidon 1000 sandwiches for a shiny
i mean thats jus file based u can always replay both to get it again depending how much u care. the others unfortunately thatd b it if u didnt claim it on an alt
My shiny luck is so shit when it comes to shit I'm hunting
u hav charm?
Yeah
ye rng can b a bitch
But like
I'll be hunting for one thing
And instead I get a shiny for another 

Any shiny monkey Pokemon I can grab
how many r available
Think I've done maybe 300+ Grookey eggs
thats not too bad tbh, still under odds. breeding takes longer in sv tho cuz u gta wait to hatch the eggs after collecting
which imo sucks
id recommend swsh
Grookey line, Chimchar line, Aipom line, Grafaiai, Mankey line, Passimian, Oranguru, Medicham line, coukd be forgetting more
oh ok
Oh Vigoroth if you wanna get technical
u hav none of the monkey dex so far?
Though sadly last night I did pass up a Riolu outbreak
No piss jackal
Out of my OT
Annihilape and Passimian
oh ok nice
I got others from other OTs but I gotta assert my dominance as the alpha monkey so I gotta do my own OTs
Real
most of em shouldnt b too bad since u can outbreak hunt it, id wait for ||chimchar cuz starters likely r gna b outbreak huntable in indigo disk w/ the teranium or w/e|| also can hunt it in pla
Honestly yeah
I can get both the egg monkeys then
I don't have shiny charm in PLA though and I do not plan on getting it
actually ||grookey prolly will be too||
oh ok yea its a bit more to get it in pla but i enjoyed pla a lot so i went for it
did a lot of shiny hunting in that game
I loved PLA but I could never
yea its a grind
Thankfully shiny hunting wasn't as bad in that game anyways
So it's not too bad even without charm
nah u didnt need it but it helps
i wish we got a format w/ jus the hisuan mons added
Yes
I honestly wish that was Reg D

Would've highlighted them all SO MUCH better
kleavor had like 2 seconds of shine vs dnite/pao cores nd that was it
But then like
Only a few got fame
only 2 have really been prevalent w/ the rest either being niche ladder choices or unuseable
ig hisuan lilligant was solid for a second too
had some tour results iirc
nails and sempra did well w/ it pre reg d but h lilligant and regular lilligant kinda died off w/ more checks/stronger mons
heatran jus walled it completely cuz it was tera grass for the most part wen it came back
yea jus a generally good defensive typing
funny to see it get hit se by a poison move
yea i jus mean w/ the immunity but for sure quad resist becoming se too
i used hearthflame a lot at the beginning of reg e
It was on my first rental
i really am likin wellspring more now tho
Although I gotta say Wellspring better
Rockpon is a bit niche and Teal well it's just Teal
i used to think it was 1a 1b heartflame first now i think its jus 1. waterpon
I hate spe booster flutter
i dont see it much anymore
Scarfshifu can’t fuck it over
Also outspeeds spe booster moon
i think teal is still underexplored
what tera should I do for harc
even after boyts success
Scarfshifu also can't do much to regieleki. It's been working for me
usually tera fairy or tera normal
thank
Fairy/normal/grass
booster mane is insanely annoying
I use rocky mane
my line into it is mostly just amoonguss
probs shouldn't use that
Yeah
You got Rilla and Kingambit around so not much value sometimes
Also Dragon Hisuian Arcanine can slap
much better items for flutter
Rocky helmet??
who tf runs dragon harc
Gotcha. I've got it defensively boosted and tera water to resist urshifu

yea but u have partners
but what would be a better item for it?
specs or booster energy
Trust me
Unironically Dragon Harc hits
depends on the team comp
It’s pretty good lol
I like Tera dragon on support sets
right now it's harc, ih, ogerpon water
ahaha i mean ig, dragon is a better defensive typing atm i jus havent seen it myself
Imo dragon is one of the best types rn
if u hav no speed control option id say booster energy speed. if theres tw then specs
Although I will say rn though tera fairy blast does have a bit more value cuz Harcs moveset is actually kinda shit for CB sets when looking at 4th moves
e speed?
Tera blast fairy is really good
Head smash is also kinda clutch
On CB sets, you already run Slide/Blitz/Espeed
I'm planning on adding be rm at some point if I can trade for it, so probably specs (or maybe fairy feather?). I have my ev's in the wrong spots, should I just use a different Flutter mane?
The cb sets a blitz, e speed, rock slide, t blast/head smash
if u dont hav head smash on cb set ur throwing
and yea those 3
Head Smash is so fuckin niche
head smash can be so insane in certain situations
so fairy or dragon for harc then got it
Like Rock Slide is so free that you're only clicking Head Smash in very specific situations
fr
u know it jus won internats right?
w/ head smash
It did?
LAIC?
Ok
How many times did they click it?
yes
About to ask this
go ask marco
Lol
torviv also had head smash in top 8
I'm not saying it's shit
It's just so niche, but the other moves other than tera blast are even more niche so
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
