Oh I recently found cornerstone to be a decent-strong paonite counter

#

100% accuracy strong rock type attack is good

willow vault
#

Oh makes sense, is it still good at helping setting up trick room?

supple ether
#

Cornerstone+incin is a super strong lead into them

#

Maybe? Has the same movepool so follow me access

#

Worse ability in sturdy tho

willow vault
#

It got paired with dusclops at Toronto and got top 8 and its primary role was to guarantee redirect both attacks to allow dusclops to always get trick room up

supple ether
#

Oh interesting

willow vault
#

It was a cool team

supple ether
#

I might give it a shot then

willow vault
#

Go for it, you could just use indeedee and probably have a better time but oh well

# agile robin Im new to this i wanna do a trick room weather team

You could use Torkoal, it’s a great sub setter and really good trick room sweeper, it likes having protection from priority as it wants to conserves its health, you can also pair it with lilligant or hisuian lilligant in order to also get a fast mode with after you

Social anxiety, my faaaaavorite

It’s also a mix of me hating people so that doesn’t help

You never know what you’re getting into when you meet new people and that kinda freaks me out sometimes

BUT I’m gonna get insanely depressed during college so, gotta break that anxiety

undone sage

I get social anxiety. Putting yourself out there and making small talk is RSplat

My social battery is dead after school usually

I feel like social distancing made me socially awkward recently lmao. Not quite social anxiety but I'm like a trainwreck sometimes now PikaLmao

molten oasis

Then I just, do homework and then go “why am I lonely”

lethal zinc
#

I was talking to a friend and lamenting a bit at the variety of coincidences that have to seemingly line up in order to date and be with someone. Of course there’s solace in being amongst yourself, loving yourself, so in, but it’s still really lonely at times.

CLi_MedbSigh I cant quite figure out the last 2-3 slots on this team

Cornerstone+incin (cudgel/horn/follow, snarl+sitrus) and Bmursaluna (standard, no vwave) are my core. Giraffe kinda works as a TR setter? Amoongus kinda works in some matchups? Calm mind Garticuno isnt useless? Nothing seems to slot nicely

#

Wack teams have 2 ways of working

  • Skilled players piloting it with a high degree of comfort or knowledge
  • Set gameplan regardless of matchup with high value turn efficiency that allows people to run away with the game immediately

Which is why when you asked "Do i have any bad matchups" I said none

Cause its just RNG

weeeelllll

amoonguss isnt good

#

incin is, kinda rough

#

lando i is also kinda annoying

#

a lando+incin lead kinda sucks

#

so, i also just dont need to bring volc every game, but id like some kind of alternative so i want to test SD wellspring

#

um, also not sure about the 6th

#

i didnt like amoonguss too much, sini felt eh, glimm (it was lorb cuz i didnt know what else that wasnt power herb) felt eh, shifu just never entered the battle I didnt see myself needing to use it

#

um, i struggled the most with like, incin and amoonguss mostly

#

otherwise it was a missplay or a failed read

so, thoughts on a 6th or, other changes?

real prairie

#
  • Protect is required on Samurott otherwise you’re always blowing a Tera to avoid Fake Out.
  • Heavy Slam over EQ on Iron Hands, why are you Careful nature?
  • That Lando-T set is incredibly inefficient. Missing Tera Blast for strong neutral STAB pressure with Fly, can’t hit Amoonguss/Ogerpon. No Rock Slide means no flinch outs or spread damage. Stomping over EQ especially because your Hands doesn’t have Protect and Rillaboom is relevant. Grass Knot is pointless.
  • Air Balloon is also a bad item considering it doesn’t come into play a lot of the time.
  • Your missing the main moveset of Amoonguss, Spore/Rage Powder/Pollen Puff

ive played a lot with lots of shite teams getting Ls, is it worth making a new showdown account to ladder climb or does it not make a difference?

mighty stump
#

But I also don't see what EVs on cart have to do with your paste

real prairie
#

Its a copy of my cart team

mighty stump
#

I think you should probabyl fix up those EVs

#

Just keep in mind if you're investing in an even number of stats, you're wasting EVs

#

If you do calcs, pay attention to the final stat rather than the amount of investment needed

#

Then use the sliders on showdown to match the number

#

Therefore you'll never really go wrong

#

@next stump Did you do it

real prairie
#

problem is collecting the items to correctly distribute those stats on cart

#

easy to just use vits

#

But to start, Sash/Scarf is better for Darkshifu + farigiraf.

#

And with Ogerpon-Heartflame, you might as well use Grassy Glide with setup

#

Especially since Mold Breaker can ignore opposing Armor Tail.

elfin spear
mighty stump
#

I don't see a point in having a defensive Ogerpon Hearthflame when it's strength is it's speed

#

Another argument for Grassy Glide if you opt for this bulkier spread.

#

But it's even more value if you just maximise your offenses.

#

Farigiraf also just wants a defensive item considering it's build supportively

#

That set isn't doing damage even with Throat Spray

#

And if you really want damage item Urshifu, it's best to opt for something like a defensive Tera in this case.

#

Without Sash you're so open to just outright losing to Flutter.

oh ok

Can only invest in either 3 or 5 stats without wasting, so rn 76 EVs is doing the same exact thing as your 80 is rn

# bold geode Ah ok

Could you explain a little bit further in depth or link something I could read on how for example the 76 vs 80 is the same.

bold geode
#

If you wanna make sure you're not wasting
Once you have the format in teambuilder set to format, should just be able to use sliders

#

Ok so this is VGC correct?

solid stratus
#

Yes

#

I see what you mean

#

Like checking the stat in team builder and see what it does

bold geode
#

Ok so in VGC, the levels are set to 50
So the way EVs work
For 1st stat point, you use 4 EVs
Then for every stat point after, it requires 8 EVs

#

So by this 4, 12, 20, 28 and so on

solid stratus
#

Oh I did not know that

bold geode
#

So if you plug in 80 into an equation I see
(x-4)/8

#

-calc (80-4)/8

gentle cragBOT

Result: 9.500000
