[blazing harbor]

wich worse reuniclus or hydrapple

[next stump]

hello all

[polar canyon]

Hello

[polar canyon]

Reuniclus

Really depends on the rest of the team

But in a vacuum its reuniclus

It's really good at being a gimmick with acid armor calm mind stored power

If your opponent isn't using one of the billions of dark types in the meta

[blazing harbor]

its a casual team ill get a team from the rental teams for battling

[polar canyon]

Oh

[polar canyon]

Just use the ones that you think look the coolest

Btw it's reuniclus

That guy looks so cool

[echo apex]

Anybody wanna host a tournament

[tired sage]

hello!!

[real prairie]

It was more just theorising, the idea of taking half the damage and getting a buff from a super effective move is a good deal

[timber falcon]

ah ok

[maiden oak]

@graceful pelican I mean that's a valid strat. I usually play doubles so I'll work on some shenanigans around it lol

@fallen garden I mean it's totally worth messing around with. It'll make some fun content if I can get a few wins with it lol

[graceful pelican]

@maiden oak wait there's more than just doubles‽ Sceptile could be the poke to choose

[timber falcon]

Guys does triage give +1 priority?

[cyan smelt]

Doesn't darkshifu kill it

[maiden oak]

Dusclops is my boi

Slap an eviolite on it and it'll tank a ton

[bold geode]

Pure
Unadulterated
Stupidity

[molten oasis]

Neat

[molten oasis]

Ofc you are

[bold geode]

I mean if you expected anything else, your fault my guy

[polar canyon]

1600 on random battles I can finally stop frying my brain with rng

[gentle delta]

I’ll probably regret asking this but anyone here have any Cinderace teams?

[tired sage]

[chrome knot]

lilligant

[molten oasis]

Cinderace?

[rustic mountain]

[bold geode]

What in the fuck are you cooking

[fallen garden]

they're waiting for us to cook for them actually

[gentle delta]

Content ☠️

[fallen garden]

sadly i'm not sure anyone can cook with vgc cinderace

[gentle delta]

Nah just getting ideas cuz i have a request for a cinderace vid and have literally never seen it in vgc

[rustic mountain]

https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/002/488/663/223.jpg

[gentle delta]

Gonna be a rough time lmao

[fallen garden]

i mean, setup sweeper i suppose

[rustic mountain]

cinder was good for a bit in swsh

[bold geode]

Hopefully it's just content lmao
My God that is something

[rustic mountain]

jus meh af now

got brought back at an unfortunate time

[fallen garden]

next to redirection support, maybe cinderace can swords dance or smth

[bold geode]

Idek what I wanna do content wise rn
Then again I put 4 posts up for blog more recently so

[gentle delta]

The life of a creator who says they’ll take any request at the end of a video ☠️

[rustic mountain]

gc content

it makes itself

[bold geode]

Oh REALLY
GIMME INFERNAPE NOW

(Plz don't)

[fallen garden]

the way i see it, you can make a regular balance team but throw cinderace as a fire attacker instead of firepon

[bold geode]

(it's actual hell)

[rustic mountain]

even u know infernape is mid

[gentle delta]

You told me yourself you never watch my stuff

[fallen garden]

if it's content, the team doesn't even have to be that good

[gentle delta]

So cant make viewer request 😉

[bold geode]

I......
At least look at the teams and shit

[fallen garden]

i see so many videos like "SHIFTRY TEAM IS INSANE" and then they bring shiftry to one of the three games (it gets ohko'd after one sucker punch in game 3)

[rustic mountain]

generally u wanna showcase the team doing well atleast mostly for the content

[bold geode]

NUH UH

[rustic mountain]

im sorry

[bold geode]

(Infernape isn't beating the allegations)

[rustic mountain]

this isnt bdsp regional dex format

[bold geode]

I wish it was

[fallen garden]

that's why you show the games where you win and not the games where you get curbstomped by an actual team

[bold geode]

I would've rocked that shit

[rustic mountain]

haha idk i hated that format after like 2 weeks

it got boring

[fallen garden]

gc?

[rustic mountain]

global challenge

the online competition comin up in like a day

[fallen garden]

oh. i forgot that it exists and i have no team

whoops

[rustic mountain]

oof

jus take a good team and recreate it

[fallen garden]

the last team i made was for blueberry prologue, and i was so busy that weekend i only got 9 games in

[bold geode]

I have shit
Hell I have 3 lmao but I'm using Gouging Fire for this one

[rustic mountain]

rank 12000 moment

blueberry prologue would b cool if it wasnt jus 1 competition

no way im gna learn a new meta for like a 2 day thing

[bold geode]

Right

[rustic mountain]

speed booster?

[fallen garden]

and it's sad because for one beautiful moment, blaziken was sorta viable again

[bold geode]

Absolutely

[fallen garden]

best fighting type in the bb format

[bold geode]

Basically

[rustic mountain]

kinda feel like u have to go speed

[rustic mountain]

yea ik nothing about wat was even good

blaziken seems like itd b ok

[fallen garden]

terapagos was on every team, so having a good cc user was a good counter

[rustic mountain]

right, makes sense

[bold geode]

#rental_teams go to the Gouging team in there from me right
Replace Farigiraf with Stellar Chien Pao
Boom

That's basically my GC team

[rustic mountain]

oh ok

seems solid, more balance good pokemon based

im jus going boring standard/comfort

[gentle delta]

I always make sure to showcase the mon lol

Dragalge went hard one vid

[rustic mountain]

i prefer wen ppl dont force the mon jus for the sake of it

[bold geode]

Balance go hard

Love balance

[gentle delta]

Fair, but theres many different kinds of players

Some people just want to be able to use their favourite jank. Who am I to not oblige

Id never force a bad mon personally but its fun content to make

[rustic mountain]

yea i mean jus a personal preference, they can make their content as they see fit

[rustic mountain]

🤝

do love balance

[bold geode]

Balance just pog

[rustic mountain]

yea

[gentle delta]

And I definitely see fit lol

[patent marsh]

Friend on a business trip apparently this guy on tv is a comp player

Had an interview I think

[torn nacelle]

Anyone here know best build for greninja?

Trying to build a good one for competitive

[little plank]

So I won this battle, but feel like I could have played better possibly?

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2024regf-2048262674-bssskar3ddpv0u2b26rahwucbzsdzk9pw

protected torkoal turn one and went for sleep powder on glimmora? feel like that would have been a risky play.

[supple ether]

Oh wait are you ninetaila team or torkoal team?

[little plank]

torkoal

[supple ether]

Ohhh

[little plank]

Not sure why it does that lol

[timber falcon]

I’m surprised u didn’t lead with incin

[little plank]

I am the lillicoal team haha

[timber falcon]

Ohhhh ok

Nah u played great

[little plank]

got my 2 wins for the night lol

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2024regf-2048266313 2-0 for the night ill take it

didnt want to risk his urshifu being choice scarf losing my indeedee then losing my execggutor to a sludge bomb lol

I know I should be using sleep powder more I just hate risking it lmao

[timber falcon]

Sleep powder only misses when you reallly need it to hit

I ran chlorophyll jumpluff in reg e and that’s how it went

[cyan smelt]

but when you're playing against it it somehow always lands

[timber falcon]

Exactly

I’ve never seen my opponents hypnosis miss

Btw, when do restricted mons get allowed?

Sv is my first game I’ve played competitively so idk how this works

[little plank]

Thinking about bringing exeggutor to knoxville lol

[timber falcon]

I mean why not

May not be meta breaking but the options between trick room or chlorophyll is gonna have to make ur opponent guess

Best part is you can still go either mid battle

[supple ether]

The turn 2 play felt questionable, flutter was a strong answer into their team and wake risks taking snarls, fakeouts, getting resisted by urshifu, and taking strong fairy type moves (which both a9tails and glimm have). Nonetheless, doubling into a9 couldve been a better play maybe. Neither of your mons were dying to glimmora. On the 4th turn you're again neglecting a9tails which can freeze or drop spatk on your two remaining mons. Flutter appaears also to have a weird EV build -- aquajet should not be doing that much to you.

Very nit picky, and i dont know what other options you were considering at the time. Not bad play overall tho maybe modifications in the lead pokemon as you brought 4 mons reliant on sun and (almost) guaranteed lost the weather war by leading torkoal.

[gentle delta]

Just got my first actual first place in a tournament since like June lol

[supple ether]

[little plank]

The lead they went with I would have been way better off leading with the psyspam. I was worried of a possible farigarif incin lead. WHich I guess still wouldnt have been terrible as I could have went helping hand + tera water tera blast

[cyan smelt]

how does exeggutor go against farig/ursa bm

[mighty stump]

@kindred cypress Please edit your Rental post to include a non-OTS Pokepaste.

[patent marsh]

non-OTS?

[mighty stump]

Peoples pastes need to include EVs in rentals.

[patent marsh]

ah

[blazing harbor]

can you put sticky web and poison spikes on at the same time

[mighty stump]

It stacks if that's what you're asking.

[real prairie]

Don't see why not, you can stack Spikes, Toxic Spikes and Stealth rock at the same time

[polar canyon]

What spread do you guys use for scarf urshifu?

Water

[real prairie]

Id have thought it was either HP + ATK to tank a hit or SP+ATK to make sure you outspeed everything

[next stump]

28/252+/4/0/4/220 I think was my spread when I used it for a few months

[real prairie]

theres no calcs with water Tera to stop it being OHKO from a thunderclap is there, even with max HP or SpDef

[rain cedar]

Hang on guys is Alolan Raichu good for Competitive?

[willow vault]

Best way to deal with it is to switch but you can use aqua jet, which makes thunderclap fail, but you still faint to thunderbolt

[real prairie]

Quite enjoying James Baek content, recently did a few games with a Empoleon + Tokicroak squad

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HomaYsosuU&t=1366s

[karmic temple]

[molten oasis]

Alright, I’m satisfied with my team now

[molten oasis]

[charred saddle]

[molten oasis]

Oh yea

I have a lando named Demeteros

Sick name

[molten oasis]

It’s a German lando

[molten oasis]

[charred saddle]

[molten oasis]

I do not care about the shiny genies

They all suck

[tulip swan]

Can some one give me a good competitive team?

[mighty stump]

Theres tons in the pins under the repository

and you can go through #rental_teams

[tulip swan]

Can someone trade me flutter

[mighty stump]

Not a trading channel.

#trading_sv

[karmic temple]

Just realized I gave fari throat spray when it doesn’t have hyper voice

Wish it luck in gc

[next stump]

LOL

[polar canyon]

Clearly it's the classic throat spray psychic noise

[clever chasm]

Hey does anyone use Hisuian Arcanine?

[polar canyon]

Yeah in reg e it was used

Before incineroar

[clever chasm]

Does anyone have one and can breed me a Growlith i don’t care what the stats are I wanna try it out? I have a few shinys the suck but hey i wanna try him over my current fire types I’m using

[polar canyon]

You can ask in a trade chat

But

If you can't get one until like 3 hours from now maybe I can help

[clever chasm]

Dude i do but no one responds in there it’s just a bunch of people not willing to trade.

I did a trade post to

[polar canyon]

You made an offer right?

[clever chasm]

I made one like 2 days in a row no answer. So i came in here because this chats always active

[polar canyon]

You're not forced to say what you offer for it but most people don't like giving free things to strangers

[clever chasm]

No no no I’ll give up shinys

[polar canyon]

If you don't have access to the dlc I bet a lot of people would be willing to trade it for a pokemon holding a rare ball

[clever chasm]

And i have a few version exclusives

[charred saddle]

i mean begging isnt the best way to get stuffs so

[bold geode]

I'd just put post up again and be patient
All you can do really

[charred saddle]

and as said before, its not the trading place too

[polar canyon]

If you do have the dlc you can get a growlithe from perrin

[clever chasm]

I didn’t beg I’ve offered and said I’d even shiny hunt something then bring that to them.

[polar canyon]

Btw don't put your hopes up too much if you never played with it

[clever chasm]

@charred saddle it’s not that deep relax

[polar canyon]

I'd test it more in showdown before deciding it's what I really wanna use in game

Because like it kinda lost a lot of purpose now that incineroar is back

And entei

[clever chasm]

Well i need a physical attacker that’s faster than the ones i have

I’ve been running trick room but it’s been getting hard countered

[tired sage]

then use regieleki-

[clever chasm]

So I’m looking into making another team

[tired sage]

no you can’t convince me that regieleki is a special attacker. it has base 100 on each atk stat

[clever chasm]

Oh i have I’m just trying new things that’s all

[polar canyon]

So what are you gonna use? Supercell slam?

[clever chasm]

I’m competitive but not like a sweat

[tired sage]

https://tenor.com/view/madagscar-penguins-kaboom-gif-9833865

[polar canyon]

And take 50% when someone protects

[clever chasm]

Damn oh shit🤣

[tired sage]

it also gets wild charge btw

[polar canyon]

Cant use sash, brings it down to kill range for a lot of mons

[tired sage]

it’s faster than almost everything (not including booster)

[polar canyon]

Well if you're confident that you can ohko both mons then go for it

[tired sage]

i wouldn’t be sitting at 1500 if that team wasn’t a success

[clever chasm]

Like so i played against it in showdown and it was whooping my ass. And I’m like damn let me do some research on this thing

This mf Pokémon!!!

Is so cracked tf out🤣

[polar canyon]

The main point is that its best tools are special

Volt switch, electroweb

[tired sage]

ewwwwwwwwwwww

go tell that to people who wanna sweat

[bright spire]

Sucker punch

[tired sage]

istg i always accept ots too and it’s still catching people off guard

[polar canyon]

Damn now my point was completely destroyed because someone said eww

[charred saddle]

[polar canyon]

Arcanine?

[tired sage]

i forgot-
this is the person who planted physical regieleki in my brain 🙂

[charred saddle]

[tired sage]

extreme speed wild charge explosion volt switch

[polar canyon]

That sure sounds like something

[charred saddle]

choice banded too

[tired sage]

adamant nature 252 atk

[polar canyon]

Sounds fun with chien pao

[clever chasm]

They kept using that one rock type move but getting no recoil

[lofty tartan]

O.o

[clever chasm]

Thing was hitting hard!!!

[tired sage]

rock head then

[polar canyon]

Oh yeah that's the gimmicky set

[lofty tartan]

Head Smash and Rock Head

[polar canyon]

I don't like it because of 80 accuracy

You can round that down to 50

[lofty tartan]

Harcanine is still seeing play at top tables, because it actually has offensive pressure, and Incineroar really doesn't.

[clever chasm]

Shit it was hitting me though😭

[tired sage]

that’s not true…
choice specs intimidate heat wave is the gimmicky set

[charred saddle]

i mean its not that gimmicky, its a very good one for stuff like psyspams

[lofty tartan]

They both have intimidate but do different things and have different roles.

[charred saddle]

like indeedee just dies to head smash

[lofty tartan]

No it's not that gimmicky at all. Big damage for sure.

[charred saddle]

yep

its beeg damage, no drawbacks except 20% miss, but then flareblitz also benefits from it

[polar canyon]

Gimmick might not be the right word

The funny set

[lofty tartan]

You could just call it "another set"

[clever chasm]

Bro i had a reflect up and it hit me for half of my hp

[lofty tartan]

People are so rigidly set in "this pokemon can only be run with one set and that's the set it should have nothing else"

And frankly that is wildly incorrect methodology

[polar canyon]

I think I only don't like it because of accuracy

[tired sage]

oh it does-
flare blitz recoil no more…?

[lofty tartan]

Accuracy is a big issue for sure - that's why I don't run Head Smash xD

[charred saddle]

rock head = no recoil

[tired sage]

oh

[polar canyon]

Intimidate can usually get more value in general but the abilities have different purposes

[lofty tartan]

Man I went for a Meteor Beam last night and remembered it's 90 accuracy once I missed lmfao

[charred saddle]

i think theres an interesting set with flareblitz, E speed, head smash protect with LO before

i dont remember who runs it

[clever chasm]

It negates all recoil. And with that speeeeeed!!!!! That boy is spicy! I was like damn. Checked smogon as well. And was like damn have i just been ignoring this thing

[charred saddle]

its basically very close to CB headsmash and only taking LO dmg

[polar canyon]

I mean speed isn't its strong point

[tired sage]

smogon is…
not vgc i don’t think-

[polar canyon]

But it's better than nothing

Smogon has a couple vgc sets for some of the most important meta mons

Some of them aren't the most optimal

[lofty tartan]

It's not even much faster than Regidrago, who isn't really known for his speed. I'd call 80/90 like slightly above average

It won't be able to catch Ogerpon any day of the week at 110

[polar canyon]

Like the 252 252 adamant incineroar

[clever chasm]

I’m saying for it to deal that damage. Solid speed stat. Solid attack stat. No recoil damage.

[polar canyon]

If you play it watch out for both lando forms

You can try chien pao

[lofty tartan]

I've been working a lot with Chien-Pao lately but priority teams are really saturating the format at the moment so you're basically opting for mirrors

Been a little dicey sometimes

[tired sage]

that’s a vgc set-?

[polar canyon]

According to smogon

I mean

It's their doubles ou set

[tired sage]

that’s not vgc-

isn’t doubles OU set to 100 as well…?

[lofty tartan]

Like max attack Incineroar is a thing but yeah smogon sets are to be taken with a grain of salt. Their formats do not really apply to VGC as well.

[chrome knot]

anti priority yippieee

[lofty tartan]

Including but not limited to the sets you see there.

[polar canyon]

Yeah I'm not saying it's good

I just thought it was funny

[chrome knot]

its awful do not maxmax incin

pls

[tired sage]

pao is a nice mon to mess around with…
and i know lots of people prefer sash, tinkering with life orb is also fun

[mighty stump]

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2024regf-2048614588-bg9237weppqr9jz7nxxvkozlv8uof8opw Probably the most unhinged Turn 7 I ever had to play cause of a misposition 😭

[polar canyon]

Sash stellar is fun until they bring out the sash rapid strike urshifu

[mighty stump]

Turn 8 was another Misplay I should have just Wood Hammered 💀

[lofty tartan]

I had a joke there, Tofu, but I think it could be too inappropriate even for me

[mighty stump]

Well it would have been fine

[mighty stump]

Lol

[polar canyon]

Tofu with the snorlax team let's go

[lofty tartan]

How're you doing today, buddy? Everything going okay?

[mighty stump]

No

Ive lost multiple pieces of my sanity

Trying to make Snorlax run

[chrome knot]

tofu

[lofty tartan]

I'm confident you'll get it.

Snorlax is your baby boy

[mighty stump]

I have to play out of my mind and ive entered 1600s like 14 different times now

Ive grazed top 500 then tumble

and then back

adn tumble

its painful

oml

[chrome knot]

im on probation until knoxville from prog & jm

[mighty stump]

Define probation

[lofty tartan]

Hey Tofu. You're awesome - you'll get it

I've been struggling a bit myself, lately.

[mighty stump]

Team name btw

[lofty tartan]

Lmao

[chrome knot]

[mighty stump]

Oic

You';re on probation from me too

[chrome knot]

healthy thing

[mighty stump]

Good job

[charred saddle]

that turn 7 is beautiful

[chrome knot]

oh what the heck

[mighty stump]

No play no stress self out before regional

👍

[chrome knot]

yus

[mighty stump]

If you play I disown u

[chrome knot]

WHA

[mighty stump]

ya

[mighty stump]

I was supposed to switch Urshifu in that turn but misclicked RIllaboom

Cause my Incin is faster

Then I was like

ok

Hes gonna Protect cause hes a wuss

[tired sage]

[polar canyon]

I'm just gonna pretend it was some genius plan to reset the fake out on rilla in one turn even if he protected both mons

[mighty stump]

Yeah that was the point

I needed to position FO + Urshifu

[polar canyon]

Does anyone run protect on incineroar tho

[mighty stump]

Plus Parting Shot wouldnt lower my damage output

[charred saddle]

beeg brain

jd pengen makan tahu goreng abang abang

YES,

TEMPE MENDOAN JG

[mighty stump]

SAMA SAMBALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

MASHALLAH

He just said he wants fried tofu and tempe to snack on

with a bit of salt and bird's eye chilli

[charred saddle]

birds eye chhili

[polar canyon]

Why is it called that

[bold geode]

Bismillah

[charred saddle]

[charred saddle]

cabe ijo, cabe rawit, cabe keriting

i mean namanya lucu aja

hahah

[mighty stump]

apparently its also called mouse dropping chili cause of the shape

💀

[polar canyon]

Looks more like that than it looks like a bird's eye

[tired sage]

it looks like a birds eye when you cut it

vertically so that you get small circles

[lofty tartan]

Those look great

[tired sage]

they’re not too spicy…
they add the kick you’re looking for without overly spicing the food

[polar canyon]

Spicy food with fresh pepper is really nice

I used to have some habanero growing in my backyard

[lofty tartan]

Perfect chilis. I hate heat for the sake of heat - my spice needs to be spicy for flavor

[polar canyon]

Idk what happened to the plant

[polar canyon]

This

[lofty tartan]

I love the sweet spicy chilis

[polar canyon]

That spicy kick that leaves the flavor in your mouth

[lofty tartan]

Those are absolutely my favorite.

[mighty stump]

I hate sweet spicy

Savoury spicy is superior

[lofty tartan]

I mean like not too sweet. I'm not even really into chocolate.

I prefer a steak to a candy bar

[tired sage]

just…
pure capsaicin all the way
im joking

[charred saddle]

f*ck you

[lofty tartan]

Honestly the thing I miss about living in New Mexico is that I could order chilis in literally everything

[mighty stump]

fk u

[polar canyon]

How about bitter salty

[tired sage]

Sameee

[mighty stump]

tahts fine

[charred saddle]

sweet spicy and spicy sour

very fucking delicious

[polar canyon]

I prefer pasta to a candy bar

[bold geode]

Spicy sour?

[polar canyon]

And I'll put the steak in the pasta

[charred saddle]

yes

[mighty stump]

spicy sour needs sweet a bit to balance but yea

[charred saddle]

theres rujak in indonesia

[mighty stump]

gw gk suka rujak anj

[tired sage]

sweet spicy works but it’s…
very dependent on what it’s for

[charred saddle]

HOW

[mighty stump]

G ENAK

[bold geode]

Rujak Horseman?

[charred saddle]

???????

[polar canyon]

Sour desserts are the best

[charred saddle]

[bold geode]

Tofu wtf gw gk mean

[charred saddle]

Bullshit

[charred saddle]

gw is just me, or aku in indonesia, just a slang

So Aku Aku is just me me?

[charred saddle]

[molten oasis]

No mark tho, but I don’t have time to grind for one

[polar canyon]

Hehe meme

[molten oasis]

Or maybe it had a tiny/huge mark

[bold geode]

Wait me me

Crash Bandicoot has memes

[molten oasis]

[mighty stump]

gua is like an informal way of saying me

lmao

[charred saddle]

i mean some people also said gua as a slang

[mighty stump]

iyasih

[bold geode]

I identify as a cavern

[charred saddle]

or even the weirder one is guweh

[mighty stump]

[charred saddle]

[mighty stump]

You know you can get reported here for that right

[charred saddle]

goodbye monke

[polar canyon]

Languages are so interesting

[bold geode]

Oh I didn't think about that

[mighty stump]

Yea

[charred saddle]

it was good to know you

[bold geode]

Welp it's nice knowing y'all

[mighty stump]

Well as long as you're aware

[polar canyon]

It's funny trying to explain when something informal has no direct translation

[bold geode]

Knew it'd happen at some point

[molten oasis]

Dude why do we get shinies like Grimmsnarl

And then mausholds shiny exists

[polar canyon]

Like it's hard to translate swearing to English because all they use is the f word

[bold geode]

No explaining English is a bitch
How tf bomb and tomb don't rhyme

[polar canyon]

Sometimes ass

There's so many swear words in other languages

And so little in english

[charred saddle]

why would u use bomb as an example?

u couldve used comb

[bold geode]

Well bomb and comb don't rhyme either so

It's not like I can't say bomb
So you're telling me I can't talk about my Pop Bomb Maushold spread?

[polar canyon]

Learning something new every day

I thought comb sounded like bomb

[charred saddle]

[mighty stump]

The connection?

Where is it?

[willow vault]

I’m very confused reading about languages

[molten oasis]

Haha very funny

[bold geode]

Nope
Comb
Tomb
Bomb
None of em rhyme
And you and ewe are pronounced the same like tf

[mighty stump]

The tangents Monke goes off is equivalent to jumping a few flights of stairs

[lofty tartan]

There's a lot more for cursing in the English language besides the f-bomb

People just aren't creative

[willow vault]

Yeah

[bold geode]

Well I do know how to do that

[charred saddle]

so monke =/= creative

[mighty stump]

Your forehead would make great advertising space

[lofty tartan]

Honestly my forehead isn't that big.

[molten oasis]

Ok guys, snarl or electro web on bolt?

[mighty stump]

Ok whiteboy

[mighty stump]

Snarl, cause im pretty sure your team isn't that fast last I remember

[molten oasis]

It’s not at all lol

[willow vault]

My forehead on the other head, you would get a billboard in central London, you could see that shit for miles

[charred saddle]

oh yeah i wanted to ask that before drago, why e web haha

[polar canyon]

What are you outspeeding with web that you don't normally?

[bold geode]

I got a big forehead
My hairline fucked

[charred saddle]

since snarl is better especially if ur AV

[molten oasis]

Yea, it was a test pretty much

[polar canyon]

Web is stab chip damage I guess

[bold geode]

Also wow Tofu

[charred saddle]

gl gl

[molten oasis]

Thought it be good for flutter, I was wrong

[polar canyon]

It deals stab damage the same way icy wind bundle does

[molten oasis]

Snarl is just better lmao

[willow vault]

Thinking is banned

[bold geode]

Tofu I can't believe you would be like that
Shame
I'm calling Mr Pokemon

[molten oasis]

Idk what Tera I’m doing tho

Grass feels kinda bad

[polar canyon]

The real John pokemon?

[willow vault]

For what money?

[molten oasis]

(Do not spoil mons if you know thanks)

[polar canyon]

I closed the tab I forgot

[molten oasis]

good

[polar canyon]

I mean

I remember bolt has a neat set

[molten oasis]

I changed it

[polar canyon]

I remember it has bolt but you just mentioned it

[bold geode]

New Pokemon spoiler: it'll be a Pokemon

[molten oasis]

It just has av now

[charred saddle]

fairy?

since then u dont stack tera typings and weaknesses

[molten oasis]

Fairy yea, or maybe water

[polar canyon]

I'm assuming it has rilla since it goes nice with bolt

[charred saddle]

and btw i just noticed u might have problem with flying typing in general

grass, bug, tera grass

[molten oasis]

what do you think bolt is for

[charred saddle]

i mean if ur going for tera grass

[polar canyon]

Grass only ever helped me with bolt to not get hit by spore

[molten oasis]

Ok fsir

[polar canyon]

Better than nothing

[molten oasis]

I have spore immunities

And ways to explode amoonguss

[polar canyon]

Me too but you can't redirect amonguss spore to rilla

[molten oasis]

Let’s do fsiry as that was what it was doing before

[polar canyon]

You could just do electric

[bold geode]

Amoongus gonna have it hard rn anyways
Everyone and they Mama running Wolfe shit

[molten oasis]

Nah I want defensive

[polar canyon]

Not weak to dragon or fairy

[molten oasis]

Also, names for Grimmsnarl?

[polar canyon]

Licorice

[molten oasis]

What?

Oh cuz of its arms

[polar canyon]

Oh that's not how it's spelled is it

[bold geode]

Perfect name for Grimmsnarl: || Grimmsnarl ||

[molten oasis]

I was hoping for something more mythological ish

[molten oasis]

I caught one ti not name it that dingus

[polar canyon]

All of my names are food related so if you ask suggestions my first one will probably be food

[bold geode]

Anyway, I have Stormclaw, Ourochard, Amaterasu, Demeteros, and then one I can’t change and wont say cuz spoilers

[polar canyon]

[molten oasis]

That works great

[bold geode]

Bruh just named his Lando German 💀

[charred saddle]

Mr. Mime

[molten oasis]

Shut up

Stop telling the people what’s on the team

[molten oasis]

But that’s another Pokémon

[charred saddle]

[molten oasis]

Ok, got the names

Now ev training, then the rental

[bold geode]

My dumbass thought of Gringotts

[molten oasis]

Im doing Loki cuz it works

[polar canyon]

That's nice too

Save that for a gholdengo

[molten oasis]

Also Demeteros is a cool name (even if it’s just German)

[bold geode]

Top 10 reasons to not the Tornadus

Bleakwind

[polar canyon]

Wildbolt storm would not have missed

[molten oasis]

Nah wild bolt misses more in my experience

(I also used thundy t way more)

[polar canyon]

You know what doesn't miss

Tbolt

[molten oasis]

Your mom trying to dodge a bullet

[bold geode]

You know what doesn't miss

Mis juevos in tu boca

[supple ether]

Thunderwave having 90% accuracy is tragic fr

95 would be so much better

[polar canyon]

Thunder wave should have 100 when used by an electric type like toxic and poison types

[molten oasis]

They had to buff wisp because of an unfortunate game lmao

[molten oasis]

See, poison isn’t that good

Twave and wisp are very good

[polar canyon]

Tell that to singles players

[molten oasis]

I think that’s why it’s not like that

[supple ether]

Also consider voltswitch tech on thunduru instead of tbolt. Gets the important ohkos but also lets you gtfo when you need to

[molten oasis]

Single players like stall

btw tofu, why did u glide to BM ursa?

isnt pon faster than it anyway

[supple ether]

V wave I think

[molten oasis]

Pog

[mighty stump]

vacuum wave

Chi-Yu had a guaranteed turn of sleep

so I had to double Ursaluna

252+ SpA Life Orb Beads of Ruin Ursaluna-Bloodmoon Vacuum Wave vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Urshifu-Single Strike: 135-161 (76.7 - 91.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

I also never die to this so

252+ Atk Urshifu-Single Strike Close Combat vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Tera-Water Chi-Yu: 135-160 (103 - 122.1%) -- guaranteed OHKO

So I had the pin

[charred saddle]

hmm, i mean then u assumed its wave

[mighty stump]

It showed Wave the previous turn

[charred saddle]

oh

[mighty stump]

Lol

I spiky shielded that turn cause I wanted to scout as well

Cause I had a gut feeling

[charred saddle]

oh right its vacuum wave, i thought its moon

[mighty stump]

And if they had Vacuum Wave they had to click it

If they didnt then I knew I was safe after

[charred saddle]

btw is that scarfed chiyu?

is that coming around with fire tera now?

[mighty stump]

SpecsI think

[charred saddle]

ic ic

[mighty stump]

Cause if it was scarfed

The sleep turn would have triggered on that last turn before URshifu

[charred saddle]

oh right and its slower than pon too

nvm

[mighty stump]

252 SpA Choice Specs Beads of Ruin Tera-Fire Chi-Yu Heat Wave vs. 164 HP / 92 SpD Thick Fat Snorlax: 72-86 (28.1 - 33.5%) -- 0.2% chance to 3HKO

I'm still waiting for the day Chien Plowed gets there

[chrome knot]

good thing he ignored gholdengo the entire game

[mighty stump]

Oh yeah

There we go

[timber falcon]

he didnt see my boi as a threat

[chrome knot]

think hes just stupid

[timber falcon]

i mean would hypervoice have killed?

[chrome knot]

idt

[timber falcon]

then not much he cuouldve done

that was his win condition, hit that hyper

but he didnt wanna risk

[mighty stump]

Why wouldnt you just Shadow Ball the Dusclops lol

[timber falcon]

when

what turn

[chrome knot]

he using smeargle story kinda tells itself

[bold geode]

Tbh yeah

[mighty stump]

Oh, spammed MIR

[timber falcon]

when would shadowballing the dusclops have worked?

[mighty stump]

Questionable TR click from T1 from your opponent

[timber falcon]

dont diss my boi

[timber falcon]

he wanted to sack flutter and bring in ursa i think

[mighty stump]

Shadow Ball Turn 3 would have been better

You don't lose a boost unnecessarily

[timber falcon]

the oger

if it lived i couldve died

[mighty stump]

Then you target Ogerpon lol, you probably underspeed it + you had your own Ogeropn. You didnt need to even kill Flutter since it wasn't a threat especially under TR

[chrome knot]

[timber falcon]

my ogerpon isnt offensive, i didnt wanna risk that thing living

[mighty stump]

You click Follow Me.

Not about living

Plus Ogerpon was like 7%

[bold geode]

No it made top cut, but only cuz right
If you pilot it good enough, you can make other stuff work
Hell Jamie Boyt brought some weird sets to top 4 of Toronto

[mighty stump]

What is it living

[timber falcon]

oh my bad

i mean dengo dying

but i guess shadow wouldve done the trick

[timber falcon]

yes

[mighty stump]

I think if you retained your +2 you would have just wiped Ursaluna better.

And won the game much earlier

[bold geode]

But that doesn't necessarily mean that the Mon is excessively viable
Smeargle is just eh
Niche pick tbh

[timber falcon]

yeah i made a few mistakes, that tera i did wasnt needed

and if i had the stab it wouldve 1HKO

[supple ether]

Smeargle is bo1 ladder hell

[mighty stump]

You retain STAB even if you Tera

Your base moves, I mean

[timber falcon]

oh really?

[mighty stump]

Yea

[timber falcon]

nice to knoe

so that make it rain was a bad choice i guess

[mighty stump]

I think preserving Tera for the purposes of resisting Ursaluna would have been the call overall

[supple ether]

150% STAb turns to 200% if you tera into the same type you already were (as an aside)

[mighty stump]

Cause you don't necessarily want to pick up quick KOs under their TR

[timber falcon]

ive used it so much i have trouble piloting a team without it, genuinely a problem for me

[timber falcon]

what should i have gone for?

[supple ether]

Sinistcha gets rage powder+trick room if you might consider that

[timber falcon]

spore is a main component

[mighty stump]

You could just time and cycle your moves/KOs

[timber falcon]

guess that would work

ima try play another game and see how it goes

great

theres riolu

[charred saddle]

prankster coaching?

the weirdest shit ive seen is coaching riolu to a very fucking bulky darkshifu and poison tera

with drain punch, wicked detect and something that i didnt get to see

[mighty stump]

I ran Prankster Coaching with Corviknight in Dmax era

[timber falcon]

anddddd i took the L

[mighty stump]

It was pog

Couldn't stat drop Corviknight, free airstreams at +1/+2/+3

[charred saddle]

body press seems cool too

[mighty stump]

My Corviknight could live G-Max Fireball from LO CInderace

And it would activate Weakness Policy

then I can OHKO back with Airstream

[charred saddle]

Drednaw Notes
AV + Sand with the spdef EVs allow it to make tbolt from a specced pult to be 3hko
and from a rotom to be 3hko
the 44 speed under rain allows it to outspeed scarfed chandelure and unscarfed timid pult in the rain
24 def means excadrill wont ohko with EQ
172 attack means it can 2hko dragapult and ohko exca with ice fang and liquidation
stone edge is to set sand when gmaxed to make him specially bulky
i wanted to run 156 spdef cause it makes tbolt a 3hko from dragapult

notes mention Stone Edge cause that was before Head Smash

WHY IS MONK HERE

YOU AINT SLICK

[rain cedar]

Why?

[karmic temple]

1. e terrain is not in the meta and it’s a waste of a move slot or mon slot to try and make its ability work

2. tons of ground and dark threats in the meta

3. base 60 hp and 50 def

[rain cedar]

Fudge cakes

[supple ether]

E terrain is a perfectly valid tech on my boy thundurus

Put some respect on the name

[tired sage]

just wanna point out-
that if to not meta, doesn’t mean you can’t use it

tera water surf alolan raichu works well imo
paired with a water absorb partner to benefit

i’ve touched almost all the non meta stupid ass ideas

with the exclusion of baby pokemon-

[karmic temple]

Right but they asked if araichu would be good in vgc

[fallen garden]

I like misty terrain bc it blocks spore and also blocks flame orb sweepers

[karmic temple]

Which it’s not

[tired sage]

it’s not good but doesn’t mean it’s not useable

[karmic temple]

Right but they asked if it was good and I answered

[supple ether]

I forgrt
