It was in some Unite server and Drago has applied it to like 3 servers lmao
The bright side is you can time skip to collect the coins faster
Be sure to follow the format plz
id assume unites subreddit server x)
Hi friend, I don’t believe your rental team follows the format so it may be deleted and asked to redo it
well its from reg E
LOL
Yeah, there is a format to follow for posting the team in the rental team channel pins
Bro Jordan Peele is working with Kojima and it’s such an interesting concept
what on earth is that rental
Emmie let's not shame the rentals plz
imsorry
Sorry that wasn’t anyone’s intention
It’s really just the moves, and I don’t think Bloodmoon fits
that is why i said revamping time
That team is good otherwise just needs a couple tweaks
i will do it tomorrow
its nightime
I still needed a special attacker though, and no type repeats
I cant, i dont have the paste
Do you know how to get the paste?
Do you know the spreads either?
Yes but the pc is taken so i cant acces it
You’re on your phone rn I assume?
Yes
You can do it on your phone too
You can do it on mobile too as long as you know what the spreads are
Ik the spreads, but not the exact spreads
Ah well I guess we can help fix those anyways if you want so
You know the moves/teras/mons?
Yes i do
Items
Ik as well
The mons were pon mane mence Bloodmoon shifu and, uhhhh
Iron hands
Hands ok
One type repeat is enough
We can just start with those
Ok so you have the mons, the moves, teras, and items? If so
Do you remember if mence was special or physical
Its special with tailwind
[Message](#competitive_discussion message) in #competitive_discussion
Ok
Here's a way you can do it on mobile and send a paste
We should replace Bloodmoon imo
Its late here, feeling tired rn, i will do it tomorrow
Right
Oh ok, if you don’t want to do this rn we can do it later
K
Its 10 o' clock pm here
What is a good special attacker for the team
All i am asking
I do have chi yu
I have rapid urshifu so not bundle
Well, now its just back to the drawing board
Let’s do chi Yu then, chi flutter is a really strong combo
I have to go, thx for helping @molten oasis
lycopoky has given 1 Gen Rep to drayagedrago
I wonder if a Gravity team would work
Why
Because it's annoying getting hypnotized 5 times in a row
Gravity Hypnosis is a hellish combo
I can feel the power now 

Thanks for letting me know!
kumotzu has given 1 Gen Rep to dollarmonke
Sí señor
Imagine how fun y would gravity and dark void be? :3
Idt Smeargle is gonna get it/be viable enough to even
Should I just wait for the new dlc before I make a new team
I think it will be good, but I don’t think it will be everywhere, I reckon probably about 5% play, but I haven’t played a format with Smeargle legal so I have no idea how popular it will be
Probably, it gives a better idea on what to expect and deal with
Hey, I'm trying to make a team based on rain + electric terrain, I know its bad, but I think the concept could work. I'd (ideally) lead with pelliper and pinchurchin, set up tailwind, and get dnite and another mon at the field. Or, just go Hyper offensive, (without pinchurchin, basically). Thanks! https://pokepast.es/e6c9b178df26f94d
Snow Cloak Beartic without any snow
Electric Terrain without anything really benefitting from it
Yeah seems pretty rough
Special attacking Dragonite with Inner Focus, so it only uses half of the benefit of the ability
Forgot to change the abilities, my bad
The plan was to use tailwind + rain + electric terrain with Tera electric dnite + thunder
Sounds extremely complicated for what is effectively a stab boost worth of damage for electric on Dragonite (which has base 100 sp attack and 134 attack so definitely better physical focused)
And also requires you to run Pincurchin, which is pretty bad in its own rights
I have done some changes, now the ideal lead would be sandy shocks and pelliper, and then switch to zapdos and another of the pokemon. https://pokepast.es/9afe9aabe506e3ab
It def will imo
The reason i see people saying it will be bad is because of shifu and cts
But imo if they see the moves smeargle has sure it lets them better prepare but sometimes you can have moves they didnt plan for
It’s so frail and not even that fast I doubt it will see very much play
It’ll be at most decent
If it gets dark void, yippee
If not it’s just something that dies in 2 hits
Normal
Own Tempo, Technician, Moody (Hidden)
55/20/35/20/45/75
250
It’ll prob run sash
Anything that’s faster and can fake it out or has a multi hit move beats it
So like, I don’t think we should expect much from smeargle except it’s gonna be annoying in cts
False
It definitely has potential to be good + the format isnt even out
I don’t have any faith in it
(Mostly cuz I don’t want to deal with it in the first place)
I think once it comes out people will probably try and use it for a couple weeks then it’ll fall off
Depends what other mons are in the DLC and what moves it can learn, it definitely won't be allowed to learn dark void
Also I didn't see xerneas and yveltal in the trailer so no dark void+ geomancy
https://pokepast.es/111a678452fa7de8
How would I improve this team? Trick room is becoming a huge problem
how willing are you to change up most of the team lol
because there are a lot of things stopping this from being a strong team
You could replace Iron Valiant with a pokemon that can learn trick room and imprison. Then use imprison if they send out a TR setter
Pretty sure chandeleure can do that
Mimikyu, and Gallade also
And flutter
Yee
I had a team that I was struggling against TR teams and I put a gallade with imprison wide guard and TR and it was what I needed to help me finish climbing
I'm trying to use shiny pokemon I currently have. I know I have a shiny fairgriaf that I think can learn both Imprison and TR
Im pretty sure its a singles team
Nvm
What is the goal of your team
For some reason the dmg calc doesn't change dmg output for ruin abilities and neutralizing gas
Monk in comp oh
I pop in from time to time
I AM THE COMP MONK 
Lol
People call me Monke if they don't know me cuz like
I guess apparently taking away the y in monkey doesn't make it monkey anymore
no i think it may be because your username says monke
just a guess
No you're just dumb
monk vs monke
stop talking
go home
loserbabyface
Finally a worthy opponent
is 5IV0atk or 4IV0atk0spe better for palkia? idk which one to catch in #hydreigon_raids so thought i'd ask here. proton told me palkia is too speedy for trick room so maybe 5IV0atk is better...?
people definitely used palkia tr in swsh
it's slow compared to other legendaries like calyrex-s and zacian
and ofc koraidon/miraidon
Its seen use in TR
It can work with or without though
so 5IV0Atk is fine for all intents and purposes
cartridge ladder is very discouraging today
won like 8 games in a row, then lost three in a row to TR, Iron Thorn Rock Slide (???), and poison stall
i've found it good, i beat someone ranked 800-ish and someone ranked 300ish
inside the top 1000 now
The blessing in disguise is that this toxic stall fight is reminding me why I play VGC and not singles
is that the toxapex team
maybe, it's the first I've seen it
cybertron featured a toxapex stall team
pex, glimmora, garganacle,
thank you and @cyan smelt i think i'll catch a 5IV0atk on my violet save and then 4IV0atk0spe on my scarlet save
yaglag has given 1 Gen Rep to woodtofu, kal0sunleashed
is G moltres good?
that sounds like the cybertron featured team
It can work alright within the right team setup
It’s not splashable
i will never forgive cybertron
I mean cybertron doesnt display singles teams
nvm it wasn't the cybertron team
It was on the VGC ladder
you can shut down toxapex and garganacl with taunt
glimmora just hit it with special moves, that way it doesn't trigger its ability
yeah, I know it probably wasn't an unwinnable matchup
I was just caught so off-guard and wasn't sure what they were going to lead
what was the rest of the team
There was a dragonite on team preview that he never brought
I think there was an espathra somehow? but I might be getting the ladder battles mixed up
Eh, Bo3 ladder also still has wack sets and cheese
You just get the opportunity to recover
surprise factor is reduced
NEW RENTAL OUT
Also for any newbies or others struggling with teams, I got a message in there I want y'all to read
so this was a misclick or a misplay right, i had armarouge against ogerpon-water and roaring moon and the roaring moon used acrobatics on armarouge which allowed it to live and set up tr when knock off would've secured the ko
I think they tried to call or cover the tera
but i'd already teraed indeedee into fire
Misplay then
yeah i got lucky there
surprised they didn't protect weezing at all though
oh god it's horrific
i struggle enough with dondozo without minimise lmao
how do you beat it when unburden drifblim outspeeds scarf drago
i suppose lillikoal would be even faster
but they lead indeedee drifblim and use follow me to redirect after you
Has a 100% chance to lower the target's Speed by 1 stage.

Triggers Wind Power and Wind Rider.
Icy wind is missing once every 3 times against one pokemon
So that's like a 5/6 accuracy
I guess thats not too far off
surprised i haven't seen more brambleghast on ladder tbh, immune to bleakwind and sandsear
I was thinking about brambleghast
heat wave and icy wind immune too
Was just playtesting a team with weezing
Attack boosted shadow sneak OHKOs most flutters
tailwind + poltergeist
Yeah I would run both moves
gets strength sap for iron hands
actually strength sap probably isn't worth running because it's so frail
I mean what other move are you really running
power whip
Sap can be utility though, like a free intimidate slot
true
Poggers
Was having some piloting issues, and was also raging lol
Damn, brambleghast can learn hex but no will o wisp
Losing to rain surf dozo does things to you
I plan to train it in game and grind the ladder with it
And bring it to a tournament
I think it’s a really cool tech
Thx Prog
Nice E terrain can replace psychic terrain
Grats
That’s the reason for it actually
E terrain was placed because amoonguss and psyspam suck for this team
Fr
Thundy is underrated
wassup bois
btw whats the full team anyways
Think I might want to build around brambleghast, I like it
What are some of the existing teams
Thundy I and mane were suggestions since i wanted a soft tr team
With banded shifu
i had build a team but im not that expirenced in making them i was wondering if its good or not idk if i could make it better or not

- Nasty Plot

singles or doubles
why ground gholdengo?
also rock ogerpon without ivy cudgel seems kinda weird
fly volc too?
grimm without fairy moves also seems kinda weird
rather than clear amulet dogi, i think getting guard dog for intim is better no?
ps. im not giving advice, im asking based on my experience
also drain punch and bulk up for sustain
i dont think grimm have to have fairy move, its a support oriented one
parting shot
double screens is what i would have, the last is flexible maybe
isn't it usually screens, spirit break and parting shot/taunt
i mean usually its spirit break
it was for electric coverage
specs dengo usually uses steel tera and get the free damage from tera and Make it rain
why tho? its never weak to electric
im not sure about this tbh i just dident know what to put on him
specs gholdengo can also run dragon tera to reduce fire damage
With this team, mane just exists again. If there was a better Mon to slot in I would I just don’t know what would work so mane will be here for the time being
volc usually uses set up for offensive sets
for support it can run rage powder,
but fly is never the option for offensive sets as its taking 2 turn
grass or water is better for volc
ye, but i just feel like dragon tera benefits more into nasty plot variants
or dragon again
i mean it can run it, but steel tera make it rain specs dengo does so much its so dumb
like just immediate damage
there's also no speed control on the team
hmm
and with rilla around i don't think azu is viable
ok let me change some stuff around
i usually just take a look at the normal sets and see why its used, and change from there to my likings
haha, i just thought of something dumb
dengo got kinda outsped by some mon, then why not just scarf ahha
no damage tho, but its funny
isn't it still slower than flutter, moon and scarf lando
yep
149 max speed timid + scarf hits 223 ish
and it wont even get some important ko's
dont do it lol
if youre going specs, no nasty plot
oh yeah i dident think about that
for nasty plot variants i think it needs some bulk (idk the spreads tho)
and then leftovers/ life orb for more damage
leftovers help you set up more freely
idk about ogerpon not having spiky shield, its good to have
and why does your pon have sp atk investment?
okidogi might want drain punch STAB and for sustaining
azu idk, haha
never used it or played against it
and why subs when youre using sash, it doesnt work
i had energy ball on pon and i forgot to change ivs
light clay may be better for grimm for longer screens, but idk
quick question if i have a covert cloak on does it stop recoil damage ?
no
dang
i was gonna go flare blitzs on volc instead on protect and i was gonna use covert but idk if it works like that
Yeah covert will not negate recoil damage the only thing i can think off to do that is ability rock head and sheer force
https://pokepast.es/f0a099c07b048c7e
thats my take on your team, i just didnt see any reason to go for azu. especially when theres water urshifu which is better
gholdie might want some speed control since its quite slow and can die to some one hits
oh i forgot to change the EV on dogi, might want some more Sp def since its running AV
yeah thats why i was thinking tailwind
idk about running tailwind and screens setup in the same team, feels to greedy
tailwind for quick hyper offensive pressure.
screens for slow setup teams like volc
whild gholdengo can do as the other setup, azu took it.
you can make gholdengo nasty plot if its not azu i think,
else idk what to do with azu haha
two fairy types on the same team seems kinda ehh
grimm doesnt really care about it tho, so i dont see any problem.
and its only 2 so not really a problem i think
alr ima run afew games in showdown and get used to the team
and if they do have a strong steel answer, theres volc and dogie
thanks for the help
gl,
do note that i have not done any EV spreads calc
so, its better if you asked for more opinions on it.
especially from a more experienced player
cough like tofu cough
man it's gonna be chaos when the legendaries come back
i feel like they did quite similar, like the bulk and staying on field clicking heatwave
volc needs more setup to be effective imo
reg f will be hype
Idk if groudon and korai will be paired together
koraidon when you don't have to worry about ogre, groudon to win the weather war with ogre
I will expect soo many fairy terra dazzling gleam miraidon
Ig that’s fair
although i guess two sun setters is kinda redundant
hello, so some people here remember my rental that i deleted, i remade the team and need personal opinions, will share pokepaste real soon, i need to decode the ev's
https://pokepast.es/c3b783e16988cab1 here it is
pls i need to know opinions
For future reference you don’t need to display all the IVs
You’re wasting EVs for Ogerpon, Salamence, Iron Hands
Since they were done looking like level 100 EVs
Level 50 EVs work at 4+8x
i will update it all at lvl 50
also for ogerpon i wanted it to be atleast be a bit bulky
What are the thresholds youre trying to hit?
yeah you can just wiggle the sliders on Showdown
ik
i put them in their in game level
wait a bit, i will send them in their lvl 50's
what are pokemon that should be replaced?
probably hands
Id probably replace ogerpon/chi yu with an Amoonguss and you’d have pretty standard balance
ok, looks like hands and chi yu are going to be replaced by ¿? and amoonguss
thats all
tera blast maybe?
my salamence threatens lando-t with pump so i will go with heavy slam
Wait wheres Air Slash
not there
Why
danm i am a lot worse than i thought
Its STAB
and id add protect, Hydro is really meh on Mence
Done, slash is now in my salamence's moves
cause Coverage is nice and all, but I wouldnt rlly wanna be using mence to try and hit Lando like that
Since you have tailwind ig you have more potent answers anyways
looks like i have to commit genocide with scatterbugs
and this gives you a nice way to hit Urshifu with something safe
i did what you recommended me, now its testing time
Well, good luck
its the morning for me and i am not supposed to play the switch
but later
thx for the help @mighty stump
lycopoky has given 1 Gen Rep to woodtofu
What is my boi skeledirge doing in ubers as 10th
Blud thinks he is on the team
vc? 👀
Dialga/palkia aint banned right? Whats a good spread? 0 spe +252 spa +252 SpD trick room?
they're banned for in-game battles
for at least another few months, if not a year or so
Got people talking in rental teams
ty
Yup
is heatran good because its bulky, hits hard, has decent coverage, will-o-wisp, immunity to poison and fire (if it has flash fire) and good typing?
will-o-wisp not really a factor but everything else you said is definitely why its used in VGC
any reasons i havent said?
This was their team, funnily enough
its happening right now right?
Yeah
cant join for a while
fair
I think when I buy expansion pack i'll do some stadium streasm
that sounds pretty fun to stream and optimize with yall
Wanna do raids?
what do the pledge moves combined do?
no
the only issue is im pretty stadium 1 and 2 don't have doubles
mostly because doubles didnt exist yet
Besides pretty animation? Grass/water slows fire/water is a 1/8th damage at end of turn and grass/fire increases additional effects
Might have the combos mixed up you can google it tho
In the end, we all won by watching a great match 😌 (I’m at work I didn’t watch)
Huh
I mean how else do you explain dragonites using espeed when faked out
Surely its not an ability
Is +252 spe palkia/dialga feasible or is that just no point
Im pretty sure they are tr mons + its not restricted
So dont use ev items on them yet
As in they can be used for reg F?
I'm just wondering if +252 spe would be feasible
Palkia and Dialga are restricted
So they won't be added until restricted pokemon are added
Box legendaries.
This will not be Reg F
I see
Probably like reg g or something
Dude i have put salamence in my team, now everyone is using it, holy moly
Its been a thing for a while
Especially at tourneys
I will re-share my updated team soon, someone has to get off of the pc so i can share the rental code and pokepaste
ye salamence is starting to get pickup now
I used the wrong ditto now I have a 0 atk shiny pawniard

ur so dumb ham
go make it special attacker

feels off about band in watershifu
no fly stab on mence?
https://pokepast.es/05c621b09090c427 a gen 4 comp team i made lf suggestions
i am back
tofu, is watershifu band a thing?
since i dont feel it benefits a lot, no sucker like its dark counterpart
mystic for detect(?)
Ow
and it still doesnt kill iron hands
And whats the diff between detect and protect
type
no difference in usage, pp difference
The user is protected from most attacks made by other Pokemon during this turn. This move has a 1/X chance of being successful, where X starts at 1 and triples each time this move is successfully used. X resets to 1 if this move fails, if the user's last move used is not Baneful Bunker, Detect, Endure, King's Shield, Max Guard, Obstruct, Protect, Quick Guard, Silk Trap, Spiky Shield, or Wide Guard, or if it was one of those moves and the user's protection was broken. Fails if the user moves last this turn.

https://pokepast.es/05c621b09090c427 can i get some suggestions for this team ?
i dont play gen 4 comp
Not really
Like, its a valid choice imo
But I feel its also awkward to play around with
there are some pokemon that survive urshifu surging strikes and can tera to resist it, i wanted it to do GOOD damage regardless
plus scarf was taken by a more deserving pokemon
Mystic Water + Rain + Tera already does enough
seems like its revamping time for the 3rd time
i gave my shifu splash plate
too lazy to change it to mystic water
Unfortunate does not even begin to describe my last two games
Good ol RNG lol. I got two crits that knocked out my main attack mons
I mean I also didn’t play good so that’s a thing but still
Comp pokemon in a nutshell
Raindance tornadus + mystic water
I am not a complete meta slave
Meta slaving isn't even a bad thing lol
That's like saying trying to win is a bad thing
I still run ursaluna with earthquake lmao
I run lando-T with earthquake
Also i use salamence as THE STAR, tornadus and salamence in the same team is so bad

Outside of scarf or Focus Sash, is there a viable way to run Chandelure?
Some secret sauce I'm not seeing?
Oh TR 
80 is lower than most the relevant mons
Plus options for Torkoal maybe?
Or would torkoal = team dies to usrhifu/landorus off rip
Oh but freeze dry
food for thought ty
Fun fact: chandelure has enough bulk to live surging strikes in the sun


Lando with eq is bad rn imo
Rillaboom being meta is a big reason why (terrain half’s the damage of eq)
hey guys! I am looking for a pikachu team to have some fun with on cart.
here is a team that i pulled from labmaus:
https://pokepast.es/93d559c62225e874
(Creator: AshMX)
do you guys have any advice for piloting this team, or some changes? the tera dark knock-off pikachu is so spicy, im excited to try it.
I wish
i am soon sharing the final rental team version
danm photo is giving me more trouble than i thought
What status does the least damage to yourself?
burn
paralysis and freeze dont do damage
Should Jolteon have a flame orb for quick feet or do I keep volt absorb?
idk, i dont use jolteon
uploaded my team
anyways back to watching nathaniel bandy
Anyway anybody here what ability do ya recommend me for Jolteon?
volt absorb is better, quick feet is unnecesary when jolteon is super fast, plus volt absorb add an imunnity
Jolteon is my favorite Pokémon, I have tons of Jolts merch and love the Mon to death
But if you're using him in VGC, I'm sorry, you're just limiting yourself. Don't do it.
That being said, if you really want to use Jolteon, Volt Absorb is just better.
Max hp or max spdef for AV iron hands?
I’m planning something really good for it. A certain move and its speed is just perfect for my strategy 
Got it! Thanks mate!
kumotzu has given 1 Gen Rep to lycopoky
I think most hands run 252 spd cause it already has high hp stat
Max SpDef.
Gotcha ty
Nvm Jolteon doesn’t learn sing in this region. I don’t need this thing anymore 
F in chat
If you want a fast sleeper, get you a chlorophyll lilligant
Or Venosaur when the dlc drops next week
I was planning fastest sing with gravity
Okay I'm not saying this strategy is good, but if you want stupid funny fast Sleep, Gravity Sandy Shocks with Speed Bost Hypnosis Espathra
Iron Valiant, Sandy Shocks, Espathra.
Fire has worked well for me. Protects against fairy types and Torkoal shenanigans
K my concern is still ground moves but no tera will solve everything
You're still weak to ground moves, just run Water
Or Grass
FWG works for Hands
@autumn vault Your submission has been deleted due to the following reasons:
- Did not follow the proper submission format
I will be fair here, the best Tera also depends on your team and how you use it
Like it also depends on what pokemon you want to Tera?
Like if I am trying to Tera iron hands vs something else
Ig as a general rule of thumb you want something that either:
- Strong offensive Tera
- Strong defensive Tera to win a matchup
- A tera that can do both by shedding a secondary typing
That's just win-con identification and is contextual to per game

Late game tera goes crazy
danm why did i forget it twice
Just follow the format, and write up simple notes like everyone else.
ok got it
At least your screenshot is good, cause that's where everyone usualyl has problems with
i used usb type-c with pc, a lot of stuff i did
looks like i have to do it all over again

someone wanna build together? is everyone building teams solo or do people already have groups
danm now i have to wait 6 hours to post it which is past my bedtime
slowmode really screwing me over
What does breaking swipe do again, and why do I see it on salamances?
hit both enemies and -1 atk on both

flutter mane is unhealthy meta
can anyone help me make a competitve team that includes the new durladon evolution and serprior?
they havent came out yet
I know, just wanna make a team beforehand
serperior is a grass type, not that good in doubles
true just wanted to know if its good now its contray and tera
Probably won’t be able to make a team until we know the stats
yeah most likely it will get better with tera,
how does grass typing not make it good in doubles
there is ogerpon, rillaboom, amongus, grass not that good of a type and it relies on leaf storm contrary
huh? so grass typing is good then no?
You basically have to justify using a team slot on set period rather than use a tried and true non
Offensively, not really
It’s resisted by a lot of things. It’s far more useful for its powder immunities
Get out of here Khuja
Rebellion against mods (joke)
It’s by no means awful in the current meta, but the opportunity cost to have a serperior sweep vs a grass Pokémon like Ogerpon or even Urshifu who can play a similar role is not to be ignored
Tf context I miss
Urshifu is unhealthy meta, not flutter
Erm what kills trick room real good?
Which variant?
Yes
Stop trolling 
I'm serious lmao
Give me a tr team then😭
I'm trying to build a team around sneasler, I just need something that mauls trick room.
Gimme the paste
There is none rn I can slap one together with the stuff I had in mind so far
Alright
Having a mon with tr able to reverse opposing tr is good into most it not all tr teams
What do you want your Rillaboom to accomplish?
Grassy terrain + fake out
Anything else? Damage, bulk?
I wouldn’t go tera water rilla
What do you recommend instead?
Fire or Poison
Wood Hammer over u-turn on rilla
Wood hammer, grassy glide, and fake-out are must haves
Fourth is up in the air
Agreed
The better options for fourth slot are high-horsepower, and u-turn
Sure
Hisuian arcanine?
Yes
Never played that thing before what's the moveset you recommend?
What do you want harc to do?
Then you’d go tera fairy, choice band, flare blitz, rock slide, extreme speed, and tera blast 252 adamant 252 speed 4 def
I can't come up with much more yeah lmao
Is it good against the prankster tailwind machine?
I would actually do 68 hp, 252 att, 180 spE
Torn?
Yes
Nah speed
What does that live
It’s general bulk
I am not too comfortable using choice items.
Go flare blitz, rock slide, willow wisp, and protect then with sitrus tera fairy
It only needs that speed
Either that or you just deal with it and learn
Harc really only needs to out-speed max speed adamant dnite usually
Outspeeding shifu isn’t like, a must
I just like mine to go 252 to outspeed everything else under harc’s 252 speed
Imma just try this for now
I don’t think putting bulk into harc is that good bc of how much recoil you take
A lot of the time you just wanna throw fb at them, and harc isn’t taking too much anyway
Ghost tera is also a must have on bundle
I wouldn’t run 252 252 4 on any flutter set that isn’t sash
Will Trick Room Dialga be any good? Has it been good historically? (like is it worth catching looking for a slow dialga now)
I wouldn’t worry about that till restricted format
but they prolly won't be running Dialga events at that point
Still don’t worry about it, idk what that has to do with anything
bear that strikes fast, towel x5, fire fish all are toxic meta
when they finally do run a restricted format, I don't want to have to grind to find a 0speed dialga again
What is towel x5 lol
but only if 0speed dialga is good
flutter mane
Interesting
So is non toxic meta just series 1 to you Zekrom?
Yw
It lives 252 adamant crash from pao
That’s all I personally want to live on flutter
Alright
i just want to ddance sweep
If ddance sweep becomes meta and it is all ddance sweeper teams would that be unhealthy meta?
yes, buts its zekrom, i'll allow it
Then your point needs to be revised
With the three i mentioned, urshifu fluyter and chi yu no, with ddance yes i was joking, i stan zekrom, but not that much
Him being meta is a dream, being toxic meta is not my dream
I’d still like to hear your point towards flutter and chi-yu being toxic meta
Flutter made like half of the pokemon in regulation A unviable, chi yu just dragged along with it
Power creep will always exist
Power creep is insane
You can never buff all pokemon and have them all be equal you know
True, but you dont need to make the newer ones so unbelievably busted
TPC does that to refresh ppl from the older pokemon
But the power crepted ones are too bad for comp
Plus they are ugly, a lot of them
Annihilape is amazing
Still.
I see your point, i respect it but i have my own opinion
Likewise
I think as an idea make all regulations available at the same time so people can play them again wih their competitively trained pokemon to not go to waste, most would probably be dead but atleast we have access to healthier metas with not bear and flutter
Or just ban them
They would never do that lol
I wish they did
They might ban them tho
If they get out of hand, maybe but i doubt it with no action taken at zacian, eleki, shadow rider calyrex in gen 8
They were nerfed in thr next generation tho
What i always wanted to say, ban the super ultra toxic pokemon, not take action after the damage had been done
And sv is not THAT good, its a great game but far from PLA, b2w2, platinum, hgss
Even in balancing terms
I agree with banning Urshi and Zac fs
Is heatran still usable?
I have to go anyways, pretty late where i live, its 23 pm
Yes, it still is
I never really understood the niche heatran fills despite using it before lmao
Its very bulky, hits hard, has decent coverage, will o wisp, great typing and decent ability, it still is a great
Pokemon
The physical attackers of gen 9 vgc c. 12/14/2023
They'll just buff it again
It would be pretty funny
I already know that they will buff it again
I wonder if the bikes will actually see some usage, I don't know their stats but doesn't sword dog just make both unusable?
Especially koraidon, ignoring the fact that groudon just does it better.
pings Seal "ZEUS! FACE ME YOU COWARD!!"
Hehe monkey
Alternatively:
Miraidon serves as a counter to Kyogre at the bare minimum so it’ll for sure have a niche
Sad to know that fluttermane will become unusable, I like the silly thing.
Eh we’ll see
Probably yeah
With gf's track history they'll buff the sword dog too
Nah they’ve already nerfed it
Also: 252 SpA Hadron Engine Miraidon Overheat vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Zacian-Crowned: 180-214 (107.7 - 128.1%) -- guaranteed OHKO
I forgot Mirai gets overheat
Nah
Mane will still be very good
It just, blows up easily, but it also blows things up easily
Korai flutter sounds like it’ll be good
Does koraidon overwrite drizzle?
miraidon alolan raichu 
No
depends on speed tiering
Then why give it's ability a special name?
Because it also acts like protosynthesis
Actually why do reshiram and zekrom get a special name to their ability
I didn't know that
Mold breaker doesn’t override them
I think idk
It's just mold breaker with spice
I think korai will be the better sun setter personally between groudon and korai
It’s not gonna miss important kos when it matters
And resisting kyogre is very nice
Miraidon is gonna be VERY good into kyogre
LMAOOOOOOOOOO
Thinking about it it does game sense
Bruh lmao
I’m curious if it can do lunaladon things but idk since Groudon was slower
Man tf is happening lol
Prob not since Korai is 135
Yeah
Can’t wait for THAT speed tie war
🎉
Pao Mirai Korai and Mane are all 135
Fr
Like tf were they thinking
Koraidon and Miraidon effectively having 196 attack/spatk under sun/terrain is funny tho
“Hehe fast meta mons go brrr”
Frfr
wbt mirai
that speed ties gonna be fucking scary
I said Mirai read the chat lmao
Let's just wait and see if the tera turtle will be broken
go home now that you’ve corrected me
Well at least we won’t have to worry about it at first
Ogerpon was very good, odds are terapagos is broken
I hope it's mad strong
I’m just counting on it at this point
drago what are you cooking
Like mray level for no reason
I’m done for this reg
Xerneas unironically AG worthy in SV
I think it looks silly so they're going to make it the goat for sure
The meta literally revolves around xern if it exists
Sorry AG?
Mray tier, ig im the only showdown player here lmao
I pushed away the fact that xerneas existed 
Oh I’m talking about vgc mostly
Well if xern comes back the meta is fucked
vgc meta best meta
As long as xern isn't real it can't hurt me
I’m pretty sure av heatran gets 2hko’d by it
With what?
Doubt
A QUAD RESIST
Moonblast after Geomancy
no way it gets 2hkoed with quad resist with av
+2 moonblast definitely does not 2hko av heatran
highly doubtful
+2 252+ SpA Xerneas Thunder vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Assault Vest Heatran: 168-198 (43.5 - 51.2%) -- 8.2% chance to 2HKO
AYO WHAT LMAO
THATS INVESTED TOO
Tera ground xerneas
I really don't like the sword dog but the fact that it mauls xerneas is it's only redeeming quality about it for me.
YEA I FUCKING TOLD YOU
Wait this is thunder
Yikes
Tera…
Ok makes more sense
that’s thunder tho
Oh it is thunder lol
Yeah i just realized
YOU FUCKING IDIOTS
Lmao
Y’know maybe it’s a good thing the kalos legendaries haven’t been confirmed yet
MAKE ME YOUR FUCKING KING
Maybe not, someone told me that ig I was wrong
Wut
Anyway
What did I miss💀💀
don't be silly, the average xern spammer doesn't think of that
Hopefully
Zac is not gonna be NEARLY as busted as it was in swsh
It’s stats are nutty don’t get me wrong but it’s not always +1
Incineroar returning spiraled a fearful speculation into what else could be meta threats
Zac won’t be that meta defining
yea
Alright but what about cody?
Y’all don’t think Zac will be meta🤦♂️
It won’t, if xern comes back
If it doesn’t we will see if it becomes meta
if Thunder does that much doubt quad resist is a 2kho
Its not
Oh shit xern
Cody?
Its a 4hko against invested
The hit TV show Zack and Cody
I think swords dance Zac has potential
I don’t think it ran it in the past much because of it just always being +1
I am still perplexed as to why they gave that thing sd
I’m personally hoping the less meta defining legends coming back get buffs
Shake things up a bit
The sword move is gonna do double damage against tera instead of Dyna
Btw
It's so done for
I think because it’s a sword dog
Lando has swords dance
yea
It sure does
what was it in swsh
Oh wait flutter DESPISES zacian that’s hilarious
170
I forgor lando for a sec
tf were they thinking with 170 atk and intrepid sword
That's what I've been thinking earlier
However Zac doesn’t like chi yu
Btw zacian's bulk is disgusting
it basically can’t get intimidated
It lives eq from neuroforce unec

Oh yea zacogre will probably be fairly strong
Like, miraidon doesn’t want to take play rough from Zac
Yes
And Zac is naturally faster than it
(And literally most of the meta except for caly)
But what about the overdrive boost thing?
Basically this meta boils down to: is it faster????
Always has
If Mirai does speed, it still doesn’t want to take play rough
Very true
Miraidon does not outspeed zacian
If it does special attach bye miraidon
We’re talking about quark drive procced
Wdym
I'm gonna ignore the fear mongering for a bit
https://pokepast.es/14738de55624861e
Chien pao yes?
You cant get a speed boost from hadron engine
On switch-in, summons Electric Terrain. During Electric Terrain, Sp. Atk is 1.3333x.
Oh it’s not quark drive
Whyyyy
Nvm Mirai is fucked by zacian LMAO
They did my boy dirty bruh
252 SpA Hadron Engine Miraidon Electro Drift vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Zacian-Crowned in Electric Terrain: 258-304 (79.3 - 93.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
This may be a problem...
Electro drift is gonna feel like mane specs moonblast
Just murders fucking everything
Electro drift is stronger than specs mane moonblast
Ik ik
130 BP with 1.333x spatk boost is superior to 95 BP with 1.5x spatk boost
It’s just an example I’m making
Oh yeah
W/o the SE boost?
Mirai can also run specs btw
Mhmm
100 * 1.3 from terrain
I think specs sets are likely to happen
Damn you also get the SE boost
Electric/Dragon
Hadron Engine
100/85/100/135/115/135

It has decent bulk too
Might as well just be 1 million
Yea Mirai is broken but also, we’ll have to see what we do against it
Id rather fight miraidon than fight xerneas
252 SpA Choice Specs Hadron Engine Miraidon Electro Drift (133.3251953125 BP) vs. 4 HP / 252+ SpD Tera Water Blissey in Electric Terrain: 678-798 (103.9 - 122.3%) -- guaranteed OHKO
NOTHING lives a supereffective specs electro drift.
That makes sense
literally armadeedee on steroids
vc anyone?
you dont know yet bro...
One time someone called me a hacker in showdown chat for ohkoing with a resisted hit
I had +2 xerneas moonblast and their resist was KARTANA
Lmao!
Is lash out on chien pao a good idea or nah?
Prob not because crunch exists
It’s been used to success before
it’s a niche pick imo
No wonder it ohkoed lmao
Intimidate runs rampant
It does 200%+ lmao
Sucker those flutter manes?
Yea, or bundle, or if you get stuck fighting opposing tw
Fair lol
I'll try lash out for a bit
Nvm I can just run ability shield since sash is on bundle
@nocturne holly https://pokepast.es/e84eea72572af103 this is what im playing with rn. I hit 1600 on bo1 ladder with it
