This is more offensive

#

You already have Pelliper for the support

queen hull
#

Also, isn't Torkoal kinda frail?

ooh alr thanks that makes sense

clefairy is widely considered a strong competitive pokemon, doesn't change the fact that 90% of every team online uses the same 10 basic pokemon with niche picks scattered throughout

Metas happen in any competitive game.

yeah that's mad, 10 out of 500+ options, not really fun imo

It just makes it easier to counter them since you're going to know what mons are going to be heavily used.

is there such a thing as an anti meta team

scarlet otter
#

But if the enemy doesn't use meta you are most likely screwed

gentle cragBOT
queen hull
#

Hell, my Chesnaught tends to shit on a Flutter when I Tera Steel it because it literally can't do anything against him.

scarlet otter
#

And even anti meta team doesn't work if you don't use it properly

Could you drop pokepaste again

Forgot to change Flutter's Tera but it is Fairy

#

@queen hull also I don't know how to feel about Chesnaught

queen hull
#

Ooh, okay. I'll need to see if I have enough berries to bring down the def stat

That set is too offensive

Something like this might help more with the spikes utility

Is this singles or doubles

queen hull
#

Doubles

karmic temple
#

You definitely don’t need spikes

queen hull
#

Yeah. Spikes aren't going to do me any good

scarlet otter
karmic temple

?

#

Lemme find another set I have

Belly drum is infinitely better than spikes

Honestly, my Belly Drum set has been working well with Chesnaught

  • Iron Defense

mighty stump
#

IDBP is better

#

Idk why people tend to settle with "it works" when there is definitely "better"

scarlet otter
#

I haven't gotten many results with Belly Drum

#

Belly Drum leaves the mon too low and priority moves often can end it

#

Kinda like a ticking time bomb

queen hull
#

Hmm... I'll give that a try. I didn't want to use IDBP since most versions of the set really only had that be Chesnaught's only attacking move

karmic temple
scarlet otter

Iron defense body press

scarlet otter

queen hull
#

Seed Bomb would probably be a better choice

scarlet otter
#

I just put it back in national dex because there was too much toxic

queen hull
#

No recoil to hurt itself and higher BP than Trailblaze

charred saddle
#

what is it calced for

lofty tartan
scarlet otter
#

That's what my old notes say

queen hull
#

Damn, I'm gonna need to farm mochi for my Naught. I don't have any Def or HP mochi.

lofty tartan
#

Calcs should be really specific instead of "make it bulky"

You wanna survive certain hits and pick up certain KOs

charred saddle
#

yeah i dont get what the getting bulky is for

scarlet otter
#

Now I do calcs but back then I didn't

mighty stump
#

Either you're hitting a damage threshold you're satisfied with or you're splitting damage for no reason,

or you have exact bulk for a reason or might as well have no bulk

#

So you can't recommend a spread if you can't explain what it does, personally.

charred saddle
#

im asking since i dont really remembering seeing that set

karmic temple
#

Me on showdown putting the sliders on random bulk before I test it 🤭

scarlet otter
charred saddle
#

mods help me, im being harrassed by a staff /j

#

jokes aside yeah

scarlet otter

Most of the sets in my sheet are self made from some inspiration I found when playing ladder

This is not a safe space

Hope you have your focus sashes

Cause I got multi-hit moves and theyre useless

charred saddle
#

im sturdy tho, and i can use burning bulwark

#

Have your focus sash cuz I'm about to give that focus LASH

charred saddle
#

by chance too im max max hp def and like rocky helmet

mighty stump
#

Sorry, these are non-contact

#

They also hit for your weaker stat

lofty tartan
mighty stump
#

I also ignore stat changes

scarlet otter

#

I just say "nu uh"

lofty tartan
#

Is it Lando-I or Lando-T @charred saddle ?

charred saddle

#

Hidden Ability: NUH UH

#

i assume its lando I? since its poison tera

#

sheer force too

karmic temple

Max max lando go brrrr

charred saddle
#

oh nono, its not for my team, im seeing if theres a new spread i should be aware of

scarlet otter
#

These notes are impossible to read PikaLmao

charred saddle
#

like ill be calcing just enough to ohko lando, and then suddenly bulky lando appears KEKWCRY

lofty tartan
#

I didn't check it fully. But I do know Lando-I wants max speed for sure. Looking at the bulk, the 132/4/4 isn't doing much.

charred saddle
#

mhm

#

I cannot read these notes, they are on my horrible arabic handwriting

Give me like 20 mins to read this

specs?

scarlet otter

#

252 specs?

#

But not Tera Fairy

#

Tera Fairy is still a guaranteed KO

#

You're better off just clicking Poison Tera, Sludge Bomb, and KO'ing the Flutter Mane

252+ Atk Rillaboom Grassy Glide vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Landorus in Grassy Terrain: 72-85 (43.9 - 51.8%) -- 10.9% chance to 2HKO

#

Grassy Glide doesn't even KO Lando without the bulk.

scarlet otter
charred saddle
#

yeah no reason not to poison tera, especially to ensure the ko on flutter

scarlet otter
#

Another extra hit

bold geode

If you Poison Tera there, you resist the Grass moves and get a STAB on Sludge Bomb

The Urshifu one is relevant if its Adamant Scarfshifu

Let me calc quick

0+ Atk Urshifu-Rapid-Strike Surging Strikes (3 hits) vs. 132 HP / 4 Def Landorus on a critical hit: 198-240 (109.3 - 132.5%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Uhhh I think your calc is very wrong here.

252+ Atk Urshifu-Rapid-Strike Surging Strikes (3 hits) vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Tera Poison Landorus on a critical hit: 117-138 (71.3 - 84.1%) -- approx. 2HKO

Post Tera with zero bulk.

#

Which Tera? Urshifu or Lando?

mighty stump
#

Now i'm confused

lofty tartan
#

252+ Atk Tera Water Urshifu-Rapid-Strike Surging Strikes (3 hits) vs. 132 HP / 4 Def Landorus on a critical hit: 312-372 (172.3 - 205.5%) -- guaranteed OHKO****

mighty stump
#

So it doesn't live

#

Back to square 1

lofty tartan
#

Not even close.

scarlet otter
#

Oops, confused it with Tornadus

#

I was reading the notes for Tornadus PikaLmao

#

The 2 previous calcs were Landorous

#

It's the Urshifu one I was reading Tornadus for

mighty stump
#

:/

scarlet otter
#

Raging Bolt Draco Meteor tank

#

Draco Meteor 83.4 - 98.3%

#

Guarenteed 2HKO

mighty stump
#

With Raging Bolt being weak to Lando-I as a MU in general, id rather just have a scout turn and see

lofty tartan
#

I think your use of "tanks" misplaced.

Tanking a move is basically taking it and survivng. Lando survives Draco Meteor from a 100 Sp Attack Raging Bolt without bulk.

mighty stump
#

and then be able to OHKO with Sludge Bomb post Tera

lofty tartan
#

100 sp Atk is pretty common.

mighty stump
#

But its rare to see 244 Modest imo

#

Not a bad threshold

#

But like

#

Just odd overall imo

lofty tartan
#

244 modest no bulk is like 43.8 chance to OHKO

mighty stump
#

Since

#

You take Draco

#

Potentially might not kill if it Teras

#

and you die to L-Orb recoil

scarlet otter
#

Yep but this calcs show the bulk of this thing

mighty stump
#

So I think scouting is best

#

Yeah but calcs need to be relevant interaction wise

lofty tartan
#

The bulk doesn't do anything different

#

Like you're still faster than Raging Bolt and Sludge Bomb KOs if Tera Fairy - if no Tera then EP KOs

scarlet otter
lofty tartan
#

Why do you need a 3HKO from Grassy Glide whne you OHKO the Rilla?

#

You tera Poison in front off the Flutter Mane that's faster and OHKO it with Sludge Bomb

mighty stump
#

Well you pray if it doesnt tera

lofty tartan
#

Hyperbole.

#

This is all talking about stuff in a vacuum

mighty stump
#

If you can';t tera, sounds like a piloting issue. Imo those wincons and such already would want to be predetermined and accounted for

lofty tartan
#

But like... making a 2HKO into a 3HKO when you're faster and more offensively positioned seems wildly incorrect.

scarlet otter
#

I think this is still enough to justify running

Don’t use Ice Tera either

And gives you the boost multiple times

Usually Chien-pao isn’t the main offensive force on a team

Tera Ghost is better though

Just run Sacred Fire.

You can Tera Normal if you expect the Shadow Ball. If it's Specs and locked into Fairy moves and you switch into it, though, you have the pressure

I’ve been using AV with Entei and it’s been putting in serious work

"Wasting" tera to check one of the most offensive mons the format?

lmao

surreal echo
#

Or… and this is just an idea

lofty tartan
#

All those people who Tera Grass in front of Urshifu have it wrong, man.

surreal echo
#

I save my tera for one of my sweepers and just run AV

lofty tartan
#

Defensive teras are valuable as well.

surreal echo
#

I know.

#

And anyways, going for Tera Normal just means I lose my fairy resist anyway

lofty tartan
#

Using Tera to check a major offensive threat is hardly a waste.

You're talking about Specs on Flutter...

#

i do see some power gem specs mane lately tho, for entei and incin

#

so even more reason to tera

surreal echo
#

With AV entei can live that and then Sacred Fire back

lofty tartan
#

You can make up any scenario to support whatever point you're making because nothing is actually taking place.

But if you swap into a booster Flutter and they call your swap, that's a thing that happens.

It’s called getting outplayed

More people use AV than LO atm

According to Pikalytics

lofty tartan
#

And this whole conversation is talking about things in a vacuum. People still don't get what that tmeans.

mighty stump
#

AV is fine, I just found it severely underwhelming in what I actually want it to do

surreal echo
#

And for the purposes of this guy’s team, I’d say he should stick with Flutter Mane

#

If you’re running Entei without Chien Pao, then sure, go LO or band

#

But since he’s already getting additional damage there’s not much of a need

#

Plus it helps with getting your Snarls off

It seems I missed the MSS registration for Portland. It didn't say on the website what the cut off was and there was also nowhere to register on the site. Apparently it was a QR code we were supposed to scan at the event to sign up. But the website also didn't give any instructions about the QR code at the event and I never even saw it myself.
Kinda irritated rn

lofty tartan
#

I mean Pikalytics should be taken with a grain of salt because of where the information is sourcing from - you can also change that source and it gives you different results.

VGC 2024 Reg F and Reg F BO3 show different items for Entei. Switch data hasn't been populated yet, and this completely disreegards any official tournament placements.

And most of the Enteis I've seen with Chien-Pao are running either Band or LOrb for the damage.

mighty stump
#

Iron Boulder needs Redirection AND speed control if it wants to set up

#

I used it for a while and it desperately needs both

#

Plus, I use LO Entei with Pao, its still underwhelming with Vest especially on a non-full investment

charred saddle
mighty stump
#

If its really an issue, and you really care about Flutter Mane, I wouldnt even be running Snarl

I'd just click Iron Head and leave it at that

I mean that would have just gone forward to the same board state so its a bit redundant

Ogerpon couldnt break Bolt and having Chien Pao on the field is worse for Alex than valuable for the Bolt, so might as well dish out Damage on Ogerpon and punish it for being offensive

Even if it had that, mine has Steel Tera. My opponent managed to get his to +6 atk but it got burned and then he let my Naught get 3 IDs off.
