it’s pretty new so we won’t really know what to do with it until we get used to it
Hydrapple?
I’m determined to get it working
Im downgrading it to like
who's?
Yea
content levels
idk wth it does
Archaludon/Raging Bolt/Incin are probably going to be the kings of the DLC
For sure
Everything else is either like, alright, or content material
welp, time to give up on Hydrapple
walking wake is content material?
i’m debating on whether i should ditch a move for heavy slam…
currently i’m running:
pollen puff (for healing mostly cause it’s slower then my arma)
fickle beam
energy ball
earth power…
i feel like flutter yu wake would be super good
Might as well feed into all the fucking raging bolt users
I have all three on one team
Heavy Slam isn’t worth it if you dont OHKO flutter
Morning chyat
gm
I mean content means its workable lol
As I’ve seen the hydrspple is mid take enough to be disappointed enough to stop working on it
Morning Shyiro
hello shiro!
hydrapple doesn’t do too bad in tr…
Come OU if you wanna play w hydrapple
THATS IT
you didnt really waste time you can still use it
all I hear is use it in hard tr
hm-?
That’s the only thing I hear, so I’m over it man
base 44 speed
He’s about to pop a blood vessel
then ignore it
Why work on it if it’s just gonna be mid
you know how many times ive gotten annoyed at you guys calling mons mid based off of just one look at it
Gonna go to something else at this rate and join the tornshifu Archaludon team party cuz I don’t know what to do
Av is better on most mons
I mean, Drago
You want me and cigar’s team?
Grass slot is better for something 90% of the time
I made an Empo team that dearly wishes I could use Urshifu instead
Do you want to make a team you’re happy with and put in the work or just meta slave
VGC as a format is innately unfriendly towards 99% of the mons in the game
A team im happy with, the meta is boring
🙂
then just build the team and make it work and play your ass off
I don’t think Hydrapple is bad but I’ve heard so many takes that it isn’t good enough
Thats the only choice lol
watching jamie boyt ruined my thought process on vgc
heyyyyy
eevee did something in sm/usum
Not everyone is Jamie Boyt.
well i guess enhanced
And even his takes aren’t all that
Jamie is something else
So?
im just saying for me
what’s stopping you from proving the people wrong-?
Realistically like 10 mons are gonna be the ideal mons to use in VGC
How many takes do you think I’ve heard about my teams from Yotam
Ig I can believe in it harder, idk im shattered from todays testing session
but hes easily my favorite player
At any given moment
I fucking hate fluttermane
Its not about proving people wrong either lol
he has opened me up to seeing value in less popular options
You’re not proving them wrong cause their takes are going to be correct: It’s going to be more work and difficult to pilot relative to better options
Value existing ≠ easy to pilot
Those people most likely realize it can work on a specific team they just overall do not think it is the best.
I think Hydrapple is kinda unique tbh
I like the option to an attacker with regenerator
But if you want to actually make a team you’re happy with you either have to become a highly skilled pilot, know your matchups, and perfectly craft your team
i like hard to pilot stuff
yeah.
i suppose that’s a better way to put it…
idk i’m just spewing words out rn…
I just wish it’s typing wasn’t so disappointing
so its a win win for me
At times
Yeah but there’s no point in looking at the negatives
I think I pilot well, you’ve seen me pilot before. It’s the actual teambuilding part I can’t get down
i’m still trying to make explosion normal band eleki work…
i should really stop with this idea but it’s too fun to resist
Learn the rules and get good at the game to break the rules at the end of the day
Have you played games with what we came up with yet?
Bro this deserves a fucking pin
Wanna know how many games I played with the Empoleon team?
How many?
A lot I bet
1.3k?
300
At this rate I just have to believe in it, which I do im just losing my mind to “I clicked Tera fairy moonblast hehe” and then losing 🫠
God damn
My guess was hella close
Tofu what the hell
Lol I played Bo3 sets for hours
look... games fly by quicker than you know
that’s a lot of testing to “perfect” the team :0
not including my time in bo1 ladder
bo3 is fucking insane
nor in cart
Well for a niche Mon it makes sense
Tofu thats more games than I've played this generation
i couldn't imagine sitting in bo3 ladder
Lmao
Or a decent Mon that just exists in a format with better options
at leats showdown is time efficient
i wanna test all the paradoxes if they're confirmed legal
so far though im not testing any of them
I guess vgc games are shorter
Pretty much
yk what no I’ll put in the time, im just getting frustrated
iron boulder is the one im most excited for
It’s fine to be frustrated you saw mine
What teras are seeming best for Raging Bolt?
Maybe I need to go look at other partners
I think I’m onto something with Hydrapple incin and Primarina tho
I think the core is good tbh+gambit
This 6th tho
This 6th has been a never ending pain in the ass to find
Grass, more than likely not
why dont you actually test out your team in ladder before switching it over an over
if you're gonna stick with a dragon that loses to flutter mane, the move is to figure out your flutter mane answers
Doyle, in the nicest way possible
Shut up plz
I’ve been testing those 5 for days now
I have to work so I can’t grind ladder all day
That’s what I am trying to figure out
one way i get into the flow of it make an alt see how high you can ladder and you will slowly become more attatched
Rn the flutter matchup is just very rough
steel types are usually good into it
I’m also a hydrapple believer and I truly think it has a good place in the meta
My steel and fire type are neutral to fsiry so
any hard press mons you like?
Power is equal to 120 * (target's current HP / target's maximum HP), rounded half down, but not less than 1.
Steel
Physical
0
100
10 (16)
Copied by Mirror Move.
Makes contact.
I wouldn’t use that move
Very bad move
I don’t want to cave to changing the item on Hydrapple cuz hands is a decent slot on here, but won’t get av
Which I think blows
what's bad about it? doesn't it kill flutter mane
I debated heavy slam instead of pollen puff on hydrapple since it weighs as much as hands
No it’s like eruption but single target
Or am I getting it confused with a different pokemon
It does not.
Wrong, its the reverse
isn't it the target's hp?
Oh what?
max damage on full health mon
Oh, that still sucks
minimum damage on a low health mon
Oh I was getting it mixed up with bolt nvm 🤭
how does that suck if you're trying to kill flutter mane
hard press is a steel move, brother
a 120 bp move sounds crazy to me
Bullet punch best punch
that with chiyu would go crazy
k
lol paladin gets hard press
well, I will stick with Hydrapple ig I just need to put in more work, which is fine
I’m just frustrated about my mu inti flutter still feeling so ass
Flutter can just click moonblast, and wipe my team, it’s so annoying
who have you been bringing for it
I have not tested gouging fire yet
https://pokepast.es/dd4c66ccf0811132 but here’s the next variant
I made snow and kommo-o work in a meta with manual rain
pollen puff support 
I can make this work
Flutter is neutral to poison lol
yeah but flutter does love its fairy tera
Goober
maybe
has any1 run throat spray psychic noise
but if bro keeps running into tera fairy flutter and losing 
its just trial and error at this point
imo heatran would solidify this mu alot
for what-?
It doesn’t
I don’t like throat spray
mhm!
it totally works…

i mean he has a kingambit, but no iron head
It’s swords dance
Standard set 🤷♂️
it’s the standard gambit set xD
Literally
but if he
sd sucker punch kowtow
Could I run iron head sure
whatever man
one thing im thinking is you could run 3 attacks
But I lose either the option to protect, lose prio, or lose kowtow, or dance
dance
I’m not doing iron head, and I want swords dance
what about an actual redirect mon
hello
hi
What redirect Mon fits here that doesn’t overlap something’s roles
idk how wel this calc is but uh
+2 252+ Atk Kingambit Sucker Punch vs. 252 HP / 116 Def Flutter Mane: 180-213 (111.1 - 131.4%) -- guaranteed OHKO
kingambit sd really shines with redirect imo
this doesn’t look right…
No that makes sense kingambit hits insanely hard
zzz give me the paste Drago
Im just going to correct it
alr
This is going nowhere
i’m using a weird flutter set xD
this should be it
252hp 116def for the calc…
There ya go, just fidget with whatever at this point
Id like av on Hydrapple, but if that has to change than so be it
What is this Farigiraf for
even at no boosts…
252+ Atk Kingambit Kowtow Cleave vs. 252 HP / 116 Def Flutter Mane: 109-130 (67.2 - 80.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Tr, anti prio, hands answer
EVs
Oh
it’s enough to clean up with another mon…
Lives neutral kowtow, knock off from incin and I believe moon?
Like no attack boost kowtow
do you have any good special defense sponges
Usually lives Tera fsiry specs moonblast
Primarina and Hydrapple with av
blissey 
AV blissey…
this is just for joke purposes please don’t actually try this-
Usually?
It’s a roll
Im changing this to another spread. Im turning Kingambit into a roll and guarantees Tera Fairy Moonblast.
You dont care about Knock Off from Moon you have Intimidate
ooh can i get spread
and if an Incin KOs you with Knock Off from 100% ill give you an all shiny VGC team
ive been running max max this whole time
itll live the set that i run…
108 SpA Choice Specs Flutter Mane Moonblast vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Kingambit: 129-153 (62.3 - 73.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
what site is that
I’m taking most of that
My blog.
Where tf did that Fari set come from and why have I just seen it
maybe do 252+ specs tera fairy
Oh blog I see
We here at Big Bug™ Enterprises don't give a shit about your physical defense stat, watch this Archaludon take over 60% from a resisted physical hit!
💖 44 🔁 4
gotta love the not very effective btw
DAMN
Thats like modifier after modifier
i did say itll live the set that i run-
Tofu 
stat boosts?

Max Attack 236 HP 20 Def
What if the speed was in defense tofu? Would that live kowtow
also the build
yeah water spooder does that xD
actually I’ll just look
gotta love araquanid
nobody on ladder has used it correctly btw
Still bad though, I don't think Araquanid is good
also pretty good for a TR rain team :0
not that i have faced i mean
yeah it was probably for the memes
It's like another content mon
yeah i guess so
what mons in this dlc arent content mons to you
besides the 3 you mentioned earlier
The good ones.
Whimsicott
Wake
Idk if you managed to read my first message correctly but there was an "or" there
Its either alright "or" content
whimsy 
Is Dragon Cheer good? I kinda miss the SL Hydreigon days
bonus meme i saw after that
Does seem like a niche move tho
At least it bypasses Protect so thats something.
what about the iron swords
crown was super fun on bo3 ladder
helping hand
it was another incin
i have yet to touch leaves or boulder though
speedy eforce is interesting
i saw someone bring all three iron swords..
and swept them with heat wave xD
Would be really funny if a prankster mon got it
one thing i hate about crown though is the moveset is so shallow
Lmao if you just scarf urshifu on this team its free
252+ SpA Choice Specs Tera-Fairy Flutter Mane Moonblast vs. 204 HP / 140 SpD Farigiraf: 204-240 (92.3 - 108.5%) -- 50% chance to OHKO either I did this calc wrong or it’s calm nature
Who?
Timid.
Oh timid flutter
Im suggesting either Scarf Shifu or you run Sticky SYrup Hydrapple with a Bundle
You think calm would be a fine enough nature to use tho?
y tho
Living modest I think matters
Hasn't been relevant
Ah ok
I stopped calcing for Modest if I can't spare the EVs
I'm always fine with reducing offense but i;m not fine with reducing other bulk
Which Shifu
one question about calcing for hp do you have like a specific hp value you always start at or you just start at random?
me not knowing anything about comp but like to share kinda useful stuff from my local league challenge things and memes
Mk
I’ll just run that ev spread then
Depends. I start at max HP and tweak the HP values depending on the rolls post defensive investment
Water.
Gives you a faster option into Lando-I and Flutter and just work around Amoonguss.
lando i really rose out of nowhere
Either you run Tera Grass Kingambit if you want to run black glasses but its approximately the same boost anyways
vs Tera Dark
Goggles Fairy not it?
So are you saying do the ability and bomb with Hydrapple?
You dont need the bomb
just the ability
Oh, we’ll do shifu then. I think Hydrapple gets more value out of regenerator on this team
If you also want a different mode you can run Screens or something.
Hmm
Can the disruptive Grimmsnarl work?
Adding a flutter is the last place I’m going 🫠
try eviolite misdreavous
Flutterphobe
Then just run Sash Pao to boost Kingambit, deal with Lando-I/Amoonguss/Flutter as well
Shush you know my feeling on mane
Lol
Try not shitposting during real advice
😂
also this weekend league challenge moment, with an oopsie mon that was banned midway
they wont tell us what it was tho for some reason 
oh
:0
uhhhhh
strange…
yeah its weird but idk how that works so 
It was Infernape
Source: Trust me bro
ive been telling you i made a meta team with it
wait it was banned-
how does that work-?
https://pokepast.es/e8c8f78eaf72e94f so like, this good for now tofu?
how do you ban a mon halfway through a league challenge
what is shifu calced for
Idk
Forgot to apply the new fari spread
Shit right
you should probably figure that out before going in
Bro just go 252 adamant 212 speed 44 sp.def
for giraffe-?
Shifu
Urshi
:0
i just run max max jolly for shifu…
I do too but that’s another standard one
although it’s prob better to run adamant…?
Yes
What does that do
I fucking hate speed ties so
I think shifus have started going bulkier
212 is a good benchmark max attack throw 44 into sp.def
Mk
also why not just take evs off of speed yeah
you have just enough to outspeed lando
huh…
+1 252 Atk Annihilape Rage Fist vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Armarouge: 116-140 (60.4 - 72.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
perish trap 
It’ll most definitely have taken chip up to the point of +1
it didn’t…
can i dm you a replay
Was there no indeedee?
I’m good, that just seems improbable.
Not really a relevant calc anyway nowadays unless you just wanted to bring it up.
Bc there are better expanding force users
Mhmm
i mean…
I think eject pack draco meteor pivot wake was one of my dumber ideas
Lmao
Not with the 70% incineroar usage
Getting the incineroar killer out of the field when incineroar comes in
Tofu where you at
What do you think abt this https://pokepast.es/481faef9e28f9957
@mighty stump
Good or no? https://pokepast.es/2fe17b1d991c9854
Outside of bleakwind storm and ev training. I got a team ready just about
Incineroar, Rillaboom, Urshifu-Rapid-Strike 💀
Haven’t done any ranked games yet in Pokémon Violet and was looking to make a hard trick room team with Sinistcha and iron hands was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for a team
Do I make Archludon a physical attacker or a special attacker?
Not asking for competitive reasons I just don’t know what to go for, and figured I ask people who had good advice for Tera raid builds or just general move sets
I love beat up whim + ape
Spatk for sure
It’s highest offensive stat is spatk, and it’s signature move is special based + boosts your special attack before launching next turn.
there's too many iron hands, and manes, and as someone mentioned before no steel or electric coverage equals broken kneecaps
Calm Mind Raging Bolt with Booster Sp.atk 
Its signature move is so giga bait
sadge
Fr
In a way id consider goggles on raging bolt too, but looks fine to me
Goggles will help anchor better
Hm
I’ll have to try that.
Actually I’m not even gonna test both I really don’t want amoongus ragepowdering away my shit
I’m going to be in a position to get calm mind up with f-o or intim+fake-out most of the time anyway
@mighty stump would you rather hit legs or play 100 1.1k elo games
I just made it to area 0 underdepths.. where should I save to reset if I need to change terapagos ivs?
Or does it even need low speed iv?
Plz no big spoilers
Does any of the legendarys 0 in any stats to be viable
Base speed is 85
pokeman1986 has given 1 Gen Rep to nameless5258
It sounds viable in TR with no good speed iv.
Do yiu know where I can save to reset if I don't like it's ivs?
I got lucky with Bloodmoon and got decent speed iv.
And I actually forgot to save before..lol. 😅
You can save in the room with trapagos just will have to move slowly to not trigger the cut scene
Good hydrapple
Do you happen to know if any of the returning legends need 0 in any stats
Not really
Dialga is a good tr setter that would like a speed IV of zero.
Can you get dialga with 0 since it in a raid
Should specify that I’m a doubles player
I was talking about the legends from dlc but appreciate the suggestion
Yes you can get one from the raid
Dialga is a returning legend soo
Thinking of making a Terapagos team what held item would it run
In terms of coming back to VGC in sv
Ubers?
In game for later
I wouldn’t worry about that till the time comes
Ight
TIL perish song does not affect gholdengo
It's also extremely likely Terapagos is restricted, and therefore not legal in any format that doesn't allow box legends.
He's the only new mon you can't run on ladder. Not showdown.
Unfortunate
Terapagos is locked at perfect IVs in all but Attack, which is locked at 15.
Hardy nature.
Paradox legends are all locked at 20 in every stat
Incineroar gets knock off?
It does.
im competing in this. https://twitter.com/cobalt_poke8128/status/1736885210615328773 who else will i see?
Can someone link me to a good indigo mask team? I asked in #indigo_disk-ussion and nobody had one, i figured this wouldn't spoil anything
(Preferably with evs, training evs is fun)
You can take basically anything 70+ through Indigo Disk without issues.
Do you think flutter yu wake could work on a team
thats what ive been using
Why is regigigas in regulation f
he’s not a restricted legendary
It gets obliterated by moonblqst from specs mane
i run double weather
archaludon, urshifu, incin, flutteryu, torn
chiyu melts everything its crazy
im probably gonna do hard sun
Hello. Question! I changed the date on my switch to a time in the past to catch a pokemon with a specific mark (my birthday) this pokemon wasn't available at this specific time. Would it still be legal to use even though the date captured doesn't match availability?
It came out in the newest dlc^
I probably wouldn't go to events with it
But otherwise it's fine on the ladder.
Neat
Maybe we’ll get a battle facility in that dlc 🥲
Interesting. Thank you. So changing the date on the switch makes the pokemon potentially illegal at an event?
player15162 has given 1 Gen Rep to woodtofu
Yes.
I caught my shiny incineroar on April fools day 2024 😭
I haven’t done the dialga and palkia raids yet broo
I can transfer from home tho right
did they update the showdown UI
its just an event distribution..
I haven’t done any online games for Violet (only did them in sword and shield) currently trying to make a Trick Room team with Sinistcha and Iron hands does anyone have any suggestions for Pokémon?
why does my shit look like this
lmao
tf is THAT
idk sometimes the ui appears black
I also love skeledirge and pelipper on the same team 🥰
Make skeledirge great again
fr
SmartOUf
Is anyone able to help me with making a team please? If you can could you dm me:)
Hello fine ladies and gentleman! If there are those who wish to challenge someone and be rewarded regardless of outcome check out my challenge over at #1046572041421197352. Shinies will be given to those who agree to battle!
Skeledirge the play?!? 👀
no its not
Ik
d oyou?
i just saw someone on youtube run contrary Hyrdapplin and its rediculous
It doesnt get contrary
Skill swap
Oh ye he ran Skill Swap Malamar
forgot to mention that part
I saw that
Yes, I’m just coping
hehe Draco Meteor stab go brrrrrrr
that sounds... interesting...
oh shit Psychic Noise procs throat spray
yeah it does...
it also procs liquid voice xD
Y’all think empoleon can do something now with Incin in the game?
yeah its always been able to do something xD
Oh yeah forgot tofu used it
Ive had that on my mind for the longest but in practice is it good
Psychic noise + hyper voice
For 2 turns, the target is prevented from restoring any HP as long as it remains active. During the effect, healing and draining moves are unusable, and Abilities and items that grant healing will not heal the user. If an affected Pokemon uses Baton Pass, the replacement will remain unable to restore its HP. Pain Split and the Regenerator Ability are unaffected.

Copied by Mirror Move.
Bypasses substitute.
Does not make contact.
Does not affect Soundproof.
I personally would rather have ice beam over psychic noise on Primarina
It disables drain punch
Sounds good enough to me
Unless your av or specs
Especilly next to kingambit
Hands???
Farigiraf walls annihilape
Thats huge
but tbh i havent been seeing many hands
It also disables horn leech
Because of psychic noise
its always either incin or rilla for fake out
i alos havent seen someone use psychic noise a single time
I use it lol
i dont think ive seen anyone use the new moves on me yet except the signature ones
It’s an amazing move on farigiraf
https://pokepast.es/89f4dc5edf01c97e here’s my paste
This team is hard to pilot, still making it a rental look forward to that 
i love trying out a different team style each reg
Tr is a new playstyle for me, which is what this is
Reg D was TR, Reg E was Screens, now im using double weather for reg F
Gl doing double weather with torn existing
i might use Walking Wake since its good in both rain and sun
thats my weather setter
What does Urshifu live with that investment
Oh so sunny day rain dance Tornadus?
yes
It’s just leftover evs
Nice
i love leading archaludon tornadus
because most people expect torn to run cloak so they dont bother faking it out
and if they fake out archaludon then i get a free defense buff
I lived a brick break from kingambit with a 2x defense buff
it did like 15%
snarl chiyu actually scares me
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2024regf-2016107896-v9hjnallhegib3e313nj12gvirgfjrvpw
Watch a replay of a Pokémon battle between aeythreal and I hate psyspam! Format: [Gen 9] VGC 2024 Reg F; Date: Dec 20, 2023
why does some ogerpon fire have follow me
okay ty
Well Terapagos was already banned
The trend of sv legends being broken in OU is still going strong
would anyone happen to have a good raging bolt spread
max max ig…
it’s pretty beefy in its stats so
Electric/Dragon
Protosynthesis
125/73/91/137/89/75
590
Why are you min speed fari
min speed with 28 speed EVs…
I also use it
It’s probably a mistake he didn’t catch
psychic noise is great-
heal block 
Soft tr is a great place to start.
yeah i love tr balance
a tr setter, a tr abuser, 2 mid speed mon that can be used in and out of tr, and 2 fast offensive mon
my reg D team was cresselia, ursaluna, heatran, rillaboom, flutter, and wurshifu
tr is fun
i wonder if you can tell if i like tr or not…
A friend and I made this a fee days ago https://pokepast.es/9900104513905e7a
i want to use raging bolt but idk what to pair it with
i was thinking double weather torn and use weather ball
Look at my team lol
Please do not do that.
i've seen hella raging bolt on just bulky balance teams, gives Urshifu a real tough time
Double weather is so bad. The whole point of walking wake is you play it on one weather(sun or rain), and have it as a main damage dealer that can also work in the opposing weather matchup.
ive been having success with it
wait does sun hydro steam do more damage then rain hydro steam…?
or does it give the same boosts…?
it does the same amount
I thought you meant like pelipper torkoal on one team mb💀.
That’s probably fine just don’t have chi-yu in rain or urshi in sun lmao
chiyu in rain isnt awful if youre locked into a dark move and your opponent doesnt have a water type
at the very least it turns off protosythesis for the enemy
In situations where you’d rather use a fire move ofc
And situations where’d you’d rather use surging too
That’s what I meant by that.
you almost never want to run max special defense or defense investment without investing a lot into HP, except for rare scenarios
By spd I meant speed 
Opin on serperior?
Im thinking supercell slam, ice punch, trailblaze, and maybe thunder wave as the moveset
Not sure what item too
Is this singles?
rank 1's team right now, just matched into him
I'm gonna try 252 atk 252 speed on electivire since it's speed stat isn't too bad
Wait, follow me could be a cool option paired with motor drive and Blastoise
If you want follow me go eviolite electabuzz
Ill not run follow me then
I wouldn’t recommend Electivire if you want to be serious about doubles.
It's mostly for the indigo disk story lol
Just thought it'd be fun to build a VGC team for it and be able to use some kinda ass pokemon
I mean, i wanna build a doubles competitively viable team
Electivire is power crept.
Wild charge is better than supercell.
Recoil damage every time you use it 
+10 more power in exchange for a 5% chance you lose half your health is so bad
Isn't wild charge 85 power?
Especially on a Pokémon that is already worse than something like an Iron Hands. Wild charge is base 90 power
It shouldn’t be that’s a paste error
Yeah I made it clear to others that was what it most likely was.
How much does leftovers heal compared to wild charge recoil?
It does 1/4 recoil of the damage dealt to a mon you hit with wild charge
I imagine Electivire’s best set is AV
https://pokepast.es/c9c9c60f73dfc1d6 current paste
I could be wrong but it looks like that
Not sure if i should run 252 hp wild charge or 252 speed supercell then aaaagh
Leftovers would heal 1/12 of electivire’s hp
So not enough
Supercell sucks
If it goes into protect or misses it wipes half your hp
Do not do supercell lol
Yeah, doesn't make it automatically bad
Who uses high jump kick? As it’s the same move technically
I've seen high jump kick on mega Blaziken in the past
I believe someone in the hitmon trio might?
So 3 gens ago
Prob hitmonlee, not that any of the hitmons are great
Ok but who uses the hitmon trio 
He asked a question so I answered.
And it further proved his point on how bad it is.
Do you know anything that uses high jump kick right now?
Oh electivire gets bulk up too now
tsareena if you ever see it usually has it
Correct.
Might start seeing it on Blaziken if anyone starts using them
archaludon users 🆙
Blaziken would rather close combat tbh
Fire/Fighting
Blaze, Speed Boost (Hidden)
80/120/70/110/70/80
530

What's AV I don't know 
Assault Vest
Oof 3 physical stab
I forgor
Have to run all damaging moves, but your Special Defense stat is multiplied by 1.5x
Electric
Motor Drive, Vital Spirit (Hidden)
75/123/67/95/85/95
540
Electivires max HP is 354, so not much
what’s the new scarfshifu spread for
General bulk
Well, I think it lives freeze dry or something
I’ve used this spread for a while it’s fine
If only vital spirit didn't make rest fail then I could have some fun with that
Max HP, wild charge, 3 wild charges and rest
I have a good matchup into it
If it’s unaware dozo I intim and parting cycle
If it’s oblivious I set up gambit on it
Same, if it isn’t I set up raging bolt
Ideally inside tr
One I feel good about the hydrspple team I’ll prob move to gouging fire
That won’t be for a while
I’m considering if av is worth it on Hydrapple atm
I feel it should be used as a support mon
They should of given electivire rock head or wreckless ong
I really don’t like it’s support options literally being worse amoonguss
But can also hit hard
Like I do not think support is the way to go on it, cuz you literally just run amoonguss otherwise

Yeaaa it just be a yawn recover bot at that point, and that’s kinda lame tbh
Like a Yawn bot with good damage
It’s kinda interesting but I don’t think I’m doing that personally
Protect, Yawn, Fickle beam giga drain with lefties
Maybe on a different team. Building around support is a lot harder than building around an offensive Mon
Would help you fish for high power fickle beams
Also makes this team play very differently
Yeah fs
doesn’t even get spore smh
How much HP does life dew restore?
I think the current hydrspple set is fine btw
25% iirc
25%
25%
The hits hydrspple can take with av is very nice
Would life dew be better than aqua ring on a Blastoise?
Yk maybe the team is good and it doesn’t need anymore change s
can you take a Tera fairy specs moonblast 252+
I just realized I can do a very fun bulky support Blastoise build
I’m getting an itch to run one of the other dragons
Yes cigar, a DRAGON TYPE is gonna take specs Tera fsiry moonblast
Hands is like
but guess who can
The only thing that doesn’t explode to hands, shut up don’t
I’m not adding hands
I like how the team plays I’m not changing anything
W
Yes honestly now that I think about it
The team is prob good to go without needing changes
I’ll need to test more to mark down mu’s
Gonna run a bulky support Blastoise this gonna go crazy with archaludon
Is a Google sheets that tracks your teams data as you play games
THAT EXISTS?
Mhmm
I’ve wanted to use PASRS to track my games to see what I could have been doing better
But there’s no reg f PASRS yet
yea same for me lol
Would muddy water, hydro pump, or water pledge be better?
Muddy water or water pledge
it keeps your mus and shit
tracks moves and data
Hydro pump is cringe
I ain't never missed a hydro pump 
That move effectively has a 50% hit rate
guess what
YOURE CRINGE HAH
Bruh how
Blud think they mandjtv
Hydro missing cost me top cut at a tournament

That's actually depressing
Ik

I was pissed
I'll keep hydro pump for now (mostly cuz the animation)
how much does giga drain actually heal hydrapple
50% damage taken
ik but how much of hydrapple is that
How's this on a rain dish 252 sp atk HP Blastoise
How tf am I supposed to know those numbers man
doesn’t sound like a lot with 75bp
Do you like any good mons Lucy? 
I like torterra and kommo-o
It heals a ton from shifu
Torterra isn’t very good. Kommo-o is fun tho
Torterra is actually amazing with trick room tbh
Almost word for word wrote what you said 💀
Lmao
Grass/Ground
Overgrow, Shell Armor (Hidden)
95/109/105/75/85/56
525
That is a wild statement
Ah so it loses to, most tr sweepers lol
Loaded dice, bullet seed, shell armour, synthesis, water tera, trick room torterra is the best thing ever
You don't see tr much anymore though so I'm safe 
Oh and curse
I didn't when playing reg E
no wonder you feel good about it it’s a curse Mon
YOU didn’t.

Which uh, snorlax is better there
Yeah but torterra is cooler
I love using ass pokemon 
I disagree
I hope tofu didn’t see that
I disagree with Torterra being better than Snorlax
Yk what I’m gonna go mess with gouging fire today
I’m gonna wait for PASRS I think to keep going with the hydrspple team
Never said better I said cooler
wym-
It’ll help pinpoint what needs to change (except me not playing out of my fucking mind)
I meant cooler Lucy
i heard tr and now i’m here-
I love using mid pokemon in trick room
I haven't played any reg F so I wouldn't know
psyspam is a really common archetype rn
no even in reg e
I really do feel like reg f is reg e 2.0
I got up to ultra ball in reg E and never saw it
Reg E but with more lame pokemon for me to use :3
Tbh reg e was reg d 2.0
Off with you! Get this armarouge helper out of my face
I don’t think anything is dethroning tornshifu
My main vgc team is armadeedee 
it has more counters tho
Like outright dethroning
Yea raging bolt and Archa (kinda)
but…
How ‘bout no 
That’s it
archa is still good into it
Wbt hydrapple?
I hope you like Heatran Kingambit
Would water or grass tera be better on electivire? I was thinking grass because trailblaze, but probably water because motor drive
Torn kinda makes it not as good
- ice punch for grass types
Hydrapple is good into urshifu, not necessarily torn
i’m slowly going towards hard tr instead of just psyspam which means i’ll prop use a gambit 
whats a good doubles moveset for these dudes?
Av in a 1v1 should beat it
hydrapple OP…
well you gotta be in the right situation but still…
I’ll be back I’m gonna go cook a gouging fire team
Probably that for incineroar
sigh I wish it was better
I think it’s typing REALLY holds it back
it gets heat crash so something like sunny torn heat crash atk proto…
aight
Knock off over throat chop
Hot take: draco meteor sucks
Heavily depends on the Mon
yeah…
still pretty useful tho…
I think Draco is good on raging bolt and Archaludon
If it gets dragon pulse draco meteor is instantly useless
No
hot take
Incin is overrated
That’s just not true
Oh boy
Dragon pulse hits like a wet noodle half the time
huh-
no draco is better cause more damage…
And -2 sp attack
Fickle beam gets a pass because of its secondary effect
but worth the trade off-
incin is like one of the healthiest mons in the mega right now
Unless your name is Raging Bolt
Someone gets it
by no means is it overrated
What the fuck is fickle beam
True raging bolt
real
Has a 30% chance this move's power is doubled.
Dragon
Special
80
100
5 (8)
Copied by Mirror Move.
Does not make contact.
yeah i know i was joking xD
i have one on my team too
Id argue you do this on Hydrapple unless you’re support
What the hell 
If you’re support then you do Draco and giga drain or fickle and leaf storm
Wait omg archaludon gets stamina
support hydrapple…?
does it run pollen puff…?
You could
I don’t think support is the way to go
Dude what the fuck is the mon to use in the tournament money farm my chi-yu with max sp.atk max hp keeps fucking dying
it’s what i’m running…
pollen puff
fickle beam
earth power
energy ball
I like offensive hydrspple a lot more
Yea it does lol
Bruh
I’m also running that
its sole purpose is damage and then pollen puff for healing 
The trainers in it got new mons and it’s fucking stupid
chi yu is what literally everyone uses lmao
Yep
oh it got updated?
amulet sylveon
Changing it to support makes it play a very different role
The trainers got dlc mons, I’ve seen duraludom
I need to get to work on getting TMs
You’re not using dengo for it?
rip
no chi yu was better
I’ve seen dengo just sweeps it most of the time
oh wait is this for the disk tourney not ace academy-?
Oh ok
No it is the academy
the fuck is the disk tourney
K im gonna cook now I’ll be back
is that not farmable-
i haven’t played the dlc yet 
I think I’m gonna mess with that support build we did yesterday with gouging fire
If you know you know
dam i wasn’t there for that-
How do you do that egg move thing again with the mirror herb and picnic
what item did you say you were running
It was in a dif server
I wish you luck
I don’t think ima play vgc at all today
feel like shit
mirror herb the egg mon, and have one move slot open like no moves so you only have 3 moves total
then transfer move mon is uh… in picnic…
enter picnic and then leave and it should be there
does rock head prevent life orb damage?
I don’t think it does.
nope it only prevents recoil moves damage
Ok thanks
lucy30252 has given 1 Gen Rep to mumu_of_the_ecosystem
ty
bigdawgsalty has given 1 Gen Rep to mumu_of_the_ecosystem
Lapras gets life dew off I go
Can someone help me figure out how to ev train?
Certain pokemon give certain EVs, kill those pokemon for those EVs
Or if you wanna not be a nerd buy vitamins
yeah
just use vitamins xD
unless you’re wiling to spend hours
With power items it's not that bad
trying to find the right mons is hard enough for me xD
Uhhh what item should I run on Blastoise, alolan Ninetails, and flygon btw 
I was thinking damp rock for rain dance
uh…
why not just use drizzle or prankster rain dance then…?
Those are the only good options.
Because most drizzle pokemon suck or aren't fun
And Blastoise isn't exclusively rain dance
It does not yeah but then I'd have to either get rid of life dew or protect
whats your moveset rn
neither are drizzle mons-
Hydro pump, protect, life dew, rain dance
also 100% accurate bleakwinds…
yeah same with wildbolt and sandsear
Atleast I have electro shot or whatever archaludons new move is
What the fuck are all these new moves???
What are those???
uh
signature moves of the genies
the genies signature moves
lando and thundurus respectively
yeah…
bleakwind is torn
Oh I thought only tornadus got one
nahhhhh.
enam got springtide
Blastoise won't catch life dew aaaaaaaaah
bleakwind is torn
sandsear is lando
wildbolt is thundy
springtide is enamor
GOD DAMN IT
what-?
I FORGOT TO GIVE LAPRAS LIFE DEW 
I just realised I've been running full offensive alolan ninetails forgetting that aurora veil exists
I have helping hand and nasty plot lol

they gave great tusk temper flare
no more rapid spin/headlong rush gholdengo/corviknight switch ins anymore
And it has a massive sp atk stat
thats always been a thing reuniclus has run
at least i think it is
I know but like in scarlet and violet
i mean i guess
Because nobody uses reuniclus in gen 9 except me soon
it was gonna be run regardless, especially since how trick room is busted in sv now
I can't find a listed location for the supercell slam tm aaah
its in the uhh
Booster speed
