bold geode
#

I think Tofu beat Pengy yesterday?

rustic mountain

rustic mountain
#

im glad someones doing well in the gc, this one has been a rollercoaster for me

bold geode

#

Wish I'd bought that Substitute plush last week now PikaLmao

bold geode
#

Yeah
I was gonna play it and then maybe make a post for blog about it but then I was like "man this shit kinda eh"

rustic mountain
#

its been abysmal, i havent played my best but ive scratched my head so many times at my opponents plays

bold geode
#

Tbf
I've been very lazy with VGC lately
I need to get back at it

rustic mountain
#

#

i kinda forced it this weekend and saw my play not as optimal as a result

bold geode
#

Like I literally have a team I need to test
And make for content

rustic mountain
#

better u went that route if ur not feeling it

bold geode
#

Thing is for that Gouging team
I cannot find a 6th that actually feels good
Then again the 5 of Mane/Gouging/Ursh/Rilla/Kingambit feel so good so it's not as bad

brazen bough
#

I dropped everything pokemon for a few days since day 1 of gc

rustic mountain
brazen bough
#

But i also want to grind

#

I wanna wait until knox is done

rustic mountain
#

bold geode
#

Oh I'm done with that team
Honestly the best is probably Chien Pao, which is what I used
But honestly now it's just like "man I fucked that play"

rustic mountain
#

i was jus gna say take lukas 6th haha

tough idol
#

Ooh Tang got 2-0d

rustic mountain
#

bold geode
#

Chien Pao is literally there for Sacred Sword to not lose to defense buff shit

rustic mountain
#

i mean it enables ur partners pretty well

#

plus howl gouging w/ chien pao can be super oppressive

bold geode
#

Oh no Tang

#

Flushtomb this match swinging like a pendulum oof

lofty tartan
#

I mean ESpeed cleans a lot of things up before they move anyway, essentially dodging.

Protect dodges everything.

Switches into resists are effective dodges.

karmic temple
#

The crit

lofty tartan
#

There's a lot of pins with Sucker Punch too.

#

That's why it's run so much arkeknine

supple ether
grizzled bronze
#

sucker punch pressure is scary

lofty tartan
#

A lot of my GC games were decided by Sucker Punch pins.

#

Even into resists.

#

There's a reason it gets run a lot - many things can't deal with it.

supple ether
#

TH_huh
I should clarify hehe_Giggle I mean spexifically James play to suckerpunch infront of entei and ogrepon

lofty tartan
#

Yeah there you Kowtow.

supple ether
#

nodders my craziness abates

bold geode
#

Did James win yet?

supple ether
#

Yeah

#

Not clean, but still his

grizzled bronze
#

shaky 2-0

bold geode
#

Toler Webb vs James Evans
Oof

lofty tartan
#

I was speaking to more it looked like a general "sucker punch is never the sauce"

But talking about it in specific circumstances is different. There are always optimal plays.

#

Sucker Punch in front of priority and redirection in general just seems bad.

grizzled bronze
#

lets go finals next

For a second that Scorbunny looked like Dr Light arkeknine

silver ravine
#

Why tantrum over eq? Guessing because I can hit my own mons, but I could always have them use protect. Though I'd rather them do something productive and it's not like nite is choice banded

supple ether
#

Yeah, mainly for tge self hit

#

Plus in doubles EQ is effectively 80BP but it hits both mons

next stump
#

EQ is reduced by grassy terrain as well

supple ether
#

By running EQ youre almost guaranteed to put yourself in a position where you have to hit yourself or suboptimally protect

#

I did see it last regional though, so not like it's unusable

#

But should be a deliberate choice/calculation me thinkd

You're not muted, so they should. You do not talk in trade channels, they are for adverts. You can make a post in the #1112832566261731328 and talk there if you want to talk in real time and not via someone's DMs

Hi I want to get an shiny Pokemon with the chosen one mark. Would it be considered illegitimate if I travel back to my bday last year on my switch calendar?

dull haven
whole ibex
#

Ok so they aren’t gonna say it’s “hacked” or “generated”?

#

I have heard their judgments are very questionable

dull haven
#

You're not tampering with anything. You're just changing the date on your switch to catch a shiny on your birthdate

tired sage

if it has your ot and TID i think it should be okay…

How long do yall spend on a new team? Like just in the teambuilder, not even testing matches?

1-2 hours max

Oh in the teambuilder
Rarely an hour, but average 30 minutes I'd say
Mainly cuz I think or I'm just like yeah
Then on Showdown, I've literally run ladder for like 3-4 hours at least before

Testing teams on showdown vs ladder on switch, thoughts ?

charred saddle
#

if ur testing teams id say showdown

#

u can make a lot of stuff before finalizing

#

and faster there

autumn kelp
#

so really theres no added benefit on team building, testing etc on running it on switch other than actually making the final team you ran on showdown to take to an event for example.

bold geode
#

Starting to test, so far so good

I just lost close games to stuff you don't see too often
Tera Electric Arch and then Iron Leaves shit (although the Iron Leaves didn't do anything)

@autumn kelp choice specs protect

#

and why does pelipper got manual rain > water stab

charred saddle
#

if ur mystic water shifu use protect/detect

#

if ur scarfed, then go ahead for u turn pivoy

autumn kelp
#

thanks for the feedback

#

whats the reason on the items though ?

lofty tartan
#

The reason for Mystic Water or Choice Scarf?

#

Mystic Water doesn't lock you into a move and allows for Protects, unlike Scarf. And without Scarf you won't outspeed as many things.

autumn kelp
#

the explanation above from

lofty tartan
#

With Scarf you shouldn't be using Protects, mostly, and the U-turn allows you to get off the field usually unscathed.

#

While still chipping for some damage

Whimsicott could benefit from either runnign Encore or Fake Tears or even Protect, Energy Ball feels eh

I mean, I guess you can hit Ogerpon Wellspring post Tera but like, I don't know how often that's going to ever come into play

brazen bough

I play both

#

Hitmontop is like

#

Why though

timber falcon
#

Hitmon top isn’t reliable imo

#

Feels situational

brazen bough
#

but no what should i run with flutter yu

#

do i go lando t gyar or incin?

#

or since they're already frail just go full HO

mighty stump
#

Flutter-Yu-Torn-Glimm

#

or 2-2-2

timber falcon
mighty stump
#

Alternatively Flutter-Yu-Ogerpon is also a thing

brazen bough
mighty stump
#

But if you don't run TW you run Booster Spe + Speed Control

brazen bough
#

i see

timber falcon
#

Btw would after you eruption will work this reg?

timber falcon
mighty stump
#

No, Taunt/Icy Wind also works

brazen bough
#

plus chiyu still does a shit ton with its dark moves

timber falcon
brazen bough
#

nah because then that pretty much forces the last 2 slots

#

rain isnt as restrictive as sun imo

timber falcon
#

What does sun restrict that rain doesn’t?

brazen bough
#

teams and what mons you can run

timber falcon
#

Ah ok

mighty stump
#

You really don't need the weather

brazen bough
#

yea got it

#

now its just a matter of what the last 2 are

#

imma look at some tourneys

molten oasis
timber falcon
#

G zapdos?

mighty stump
#

Honestly on Bolt i'd be willing to forego Protect for Thunderclap

molten oasis
#

I think gapdos is pretty solid

mighty stump
#

Like almost necessary

timber falcon
molten oasis
#

timber falcon
#

Or maybe it’s the typing u want

molten oasis
#

I run niche shit that’s my thing. TECHNICALLY YES shifu would be better

mighty stump
#

Especially since you have anti-prio

brazen bough
mighty stump
#

Gapdos has been around for a bit now

molten oasis
#

I really like it’s typing

mighty stump
#

It's different from Urshifu

#

Also helps its faster

brazen bough
molten oasis
#

I could be running thunderous kick

for lando

molten oasis

But I think I’d miss kos

brazen bough

#

Gapdos is a physical attacker

brazen bough

waiting for it to make a comeback

mighty stump
#

Heartfhalme I think can just go max max

molten oasis
#

Also, no protect?

timber falcon
#

I still see basculegion a bit on some rain teams

molten oasis
brazen bough

#

Tbf it has not mattered

mighty stump
#

I don't think the bulk really changes all that much

molten oasis
#

Yea

#

K with scarf and my team

mighty stump
#

But yeah, no Protect on Bolt since you have anti-FO with Farigiraf

brazen bough
#

honestly av full bulk bascu + sylveon on tr may be cooking

mighty stump
#

I'm like a bit iffy about the overall coverage

molten oasis
#

I don’t know exactly have other physical attackers to do physical damage

#

Cuz usually gapdos gets 1 or 2 hits and dies

molten oasis
brazen bough
#

gapdos is awesome

#

also did lando t really hurt gapdos?

molten oasis
#

Gapdos liked seeing lando t

#

Cuz of defiant

brazen bough
#

because i remember neil saying now that lando t isnt as popular it made gapdos better

timber falcon
#

Oh wow I didn’t even realise

#

Defiant is awesome

molten oasis

Rockpon could also work here

#

or pair Gapdos with Chien-Pao

I’m assuming mythical are out of the question, although I heard that some point in swsh they were allowed?

You get 1 per team

Oh I thought it was 2

That's later down the line

Oops

I was just posting the now HO team (yes it feels like a HO team to be because of pao)

#

Ik you can play pao stuff balance, i just never feel that way while playing with pao

So is it any worth planning a restricted mon team rn or should I wait later down the line? Cause I realised I could technically practice on doubles UBER

Amoonguss has been relevant in Restricted meta as well

Amoongus and Incin are like cockroaches after a nuke

Relevant no matter what happens : [

ehh

more like the people that are launching the nuke

and take over the world after

timber falcon

I mean what can the restricted mons do to those 2

brazen bough

i mean restricted mons hit them hard

knotty mirage
#

I just wonder how the meta gonna be when calyrex shadow is allowed again especially when it can use terra now

timber falcon
#

Incin

knotty mirage
#

I mean you sure it's gonna help it's not like calyrex can just terra fighting and terra blast incin which probably end up in one shot

#

Been experiencing fighting that thing alot on casual

mighty stump
#

I'm just gonna remind you Incineroar fought Primal Kyogre/Dmax Kyogre regularly

timber falcon
#

Forcing the Tera may decide that game u never know

mighty stump

So

timber falcon

Surely kyogre obliterates

knotty mirage

Dmax + Rain lol

Far worse and more polarising than just Tera

Can i get some advise on the balance of this team please

molten oasis

so far I am not liking the weakness overlaps

#

For my team

molten oasis

Don’t run grassy terrain on whims

#

You’d rather fake tears or taunt

#

maybe not taunt

timber falcon
molten oasis
#

I see the reasoning behind venoshock but sludge bomb would be better

timber falcon
#

I don’t see why torn isn’t going over whims

#

May lack some speed but it’s bulkier and provides rain

molten oasis
#

Close combat iver drain punch on shifu

#

Tera grass at least if you’re going defensive Tera

What was nice about the last team was I wasn’t worried about fluttermane or opposing pao being too rough but now it feels that way

protect?
oh lemme just encore.
oh there’s a torn that’s not holding mental herb-?
taunt.
