So about that tournament team lol

fallen sky
#

Hey guys so uh I thought I'd work on my team abit again, I wanna replace ogerpon as like.. even tho I DO like ogerpon and I think it's a pretty good pokemon, it kinda feels cheap using a legendary on the team. I was thinking of a spore pokemon but idk if thatd work for my team sooo any suggestions? (also taking tips on what else too replace, as I just picked pokemon I liked, too use on the team CuteTorchic )

#

Also ignore the held items, I'll give them better ones

timber falcon
#

what format

patent marsh
#

urshifu

# patent marsh urshifu

Not tryna be rude but im pretty sure that's still considered a legendary pokemon, and I wanted too get rid of ogerpon for being a legend

patent marsh

patent marsh
#

then don't think baton pass set that gud since setting up and passing those stat buffs can be pretty difficult especially for vaporeon when we have a decent amount of grass type relevancy

#

rillaboom n ogerpon have grassy glide which can be really difficult for such a set to play around which then forces you to always have giraffe up front to stop that but preserving 🦒 imo does it better overall than risking it to try n set up n pass the buffs over

cyan smelt
#

A decent amount of pokemon have taunt too

patent marsh
#

if vaporeon is the deal breaker to replace then you should definitely look into zekrom's suggestion of the statistics from pikalytics and build from there

gentle cragBOT
patent marsh
cyan smelt
#

I'm thinking non prankster ones as well

patent marsh
#

I mean out of the few I did mention only torn has prankster poliwhirlkek

cyan smelt
#

True

autumn vault
#

but that is true

#

Anyways, i will test banded regigigas with crush grip next to weezing soon

#

Felt like L-Orb isn't that good on it, especially with Double Edge

#

tera normal crush grip choice band ohkos a lot of meta pokemon

#

I am aware of it's drawback but weezing can finish them off IF the opponent is left with low health

autumn vault
#

the 1st one is a redesigned team
The 2nd one is my Original Regigigas rental i posted a month ago

solid frigate
#

cuz you have more support options

autumn vault
autumn vault
autumn vault
#

Its a team i am seeing everywhere

solid frigate
#

i actualy don't know if its a rental team or anytthing

autumn vault
#

well i still need to hear more opinions on the redesigned team

solid frigate
#

rn i just need couple adjustments on my Restricted

autumn vault
#

^

solid frigate
#

wait does neutralising Gas effect Protosynthesis

autumn vault
#

it does

#

Gamefreak patched it

solid frigate
#

OHHHHH HOHO

autumn vault
#

Maybe i should stay with life orb and tera stellar

solid frigate
#

maybe

#

idk

autumn vault
#

I am now at 1400 rating with my team

#

i have seen a tera stellar regigigas in a YT video

willow vault
autumn vault
#

I am retesing my regigigas team to see if it kept up or needed changes

willow vault
autumn vault
willow vault
#

Nice

autumn vault
#

Honestly i am glad to see my team kept up

#

Needs 0 changes

#

One of the changs is Inineroar hardly ever being used like gouging

willow vault
autumn vault

#

It’s a very cool team, I’m glad protosynthesis has finally been patched around neutralising gas

autumn vault
#

And Quark Drive

willow vault
willow vault
autumn vault
#

For some reason they werent affected before

willow vault
#

I wonder if we will ever get a special version of intimidate that lowers the opponents special attack

autumn vault
#

Anyways its now spring break, now i have time to build a team in game to post a rental of

willow vault
#

Spring break?

autumn vault
#

Its a tyranitar houndstone team that won me a showdown room tour

willow vault
#

Like Easter?

autumn vault
willow vault
#

Oh ok, mines not till after next week so have fun

autumn vault

# molten oasis Why houndstone

i was on 5 members and needed a sand abuser, houndstone also does all right in trick room and it nerfs physical attackers

autumn vault
#

plus houndstone's howl buffs tyranitar a lot

#

rock slides become powerful as fuck

molten oasis
#

Mhmm

autumn vault
#

besides hardly anyone has experience against houndstone

#

and its a decent late game sweeper

#

i won a tour with houndstone

#

Not Excadrill however

molten oasis
autumn vault
molten oasis
#

how

#

What does it do in trick room

autumn vault
#

its ev'd to outspeed scarf jolly urshifu in sand and underspeeds it in normal circumstances,

molten oasis
#

It’s base 68

#

It’s not good in tr

#

Ttar is the tr answer

#

Technically cuz yiu don’t outspeed anything

#

underspeed

autumn vault
#

otherwise underspeed

molten oasis
#

Ok, what trick room team has things faster than houndstone

#

Plus why do you ever bring houndstone if you’re going tr mode unless it’s closing

autumn vault
#

Howl spam

molten oasis
#

Yea cuz houndstone really helps Bloodmoon with howls

autumn vault
#

I love spamming howl and will o wisp to annoy pthers

#

I never bring houndstone without tyranitar

molten oasis
#

Why do you have Bloodmoon then

molten oasis
autumn vault
#

Synergizes well with Farigiraf

molten oasis
#

Why do you have farigiraf

autumn vault
#

For trick room mode

#

Besides i found that tyranitar and farigiraf ae a duo to not underestimate

molten oasis
#

single strike shifu would disagree

autumn vault
#

The reason i have tera fairy tera blast

#

And will o wisp

molten oasis
#

ok, I’m not picking at this team anymore, it’s not a archetype I know of I just don’t think that houndstone is very good

Notes

A move displayed with Bold text benefits from Same-Type Attack Bonus when used by Houndstone.

autumn vault
#

Atleast it has decent support

molten oasis
#

You’re literally forced to use last respects

autumn vault
#

And destiny bond can get a sneaky KO

molten oasis
#

That’s all it has going for it and gouging fire exists

#

Which would be better here. And you’re point in houndstone being a tr answer does not work if you only bring it with ttar

molten oasis
autumn vault
#

I never said it was a tr counter, it does all right in trick room and has great synergy with tyranitar and wellspring thx to howl and will o wisp

molten oasis
#

It does alright when sand isn’t up

#

Which as you stated earlier isn’t gonna happen

#

And even WITH Tera single strike shifu and a form a redirection or speed control kinda suck

bold geode
molten oasis
#

Torn shifu (dark) would love to see a team like this tbh

molten oasis
molten oasis
autumn vault
molten oasis
#

yiu have Tera blast on bolt?

autumn vault
#

No, on tyranitar

molten oasis
#

And also tera reliant answers aren’t consistent

#

Not bad

#

Inconsistent

#

Cuz unless you want the Tera to only go to ttar you’re not always gonna have that option

autumn vault
autumn vault
molten oasis
#

It’s- how does that change anything.

#

It’s not an option you’re always gonna have

autumn vault
molten oasis
#

Why do you have stomping tantrum on ttar what is that even for

autumn vault
#

To punish incineroar fake outs (without fari) and do a good chunk of damage on it

molten oasis
#

And that sure does plenty at -1

autumn vault
#

iirc it does around 60%

#

Way more than what high horsepower can achieve after a flinch

molten oasis
#

Are you faster than the average incin

autumn vault
#

Yes

#

61 > 60

molten oasis
#

not base

#

With evs

autumn vault
#

I ran a 4 speed ev tyranitar

#

And it outspeed every incin i battled (with the 4 evs in speed)

molten oasis
#

There is no way

#

Incin runs more speed than 0

#

Usually, are you in low ladder per chance?

#

Incin runs a little bit of speed

autumn vault
#

On the switch ladder master rank

molten oasis
#

That’s Low elo

#

Oh, that’s still fairly low

#

Like it’s, it’s like in the middle

autumn vault
#

Lower half

molten oasis
#

What about on showdown

autumn vault
#

1400 elo on showdown

molten oasis
#

That’s low elo

autumn vault
#

I said it before

willow vault
#

What’s not low elo?

molten oasis
#

1500/1600

willow vault
#

Cool

molten oasis
autumn vault
#

Besides i havent been playing competitive for a while

molten oasis
#

I need more context next time then cuz that confused me

#

Yiu just said rating

#

Not showdown rating

autumn vault
#

SD rating is around 1400 elo
On cart its the top tier (master)

molten oasis
#

Ok, so low elo

#

Meaning evs usually aren’t like, great

#

My incin hits 84, the one in the calculator I use hits 91

#

Incin doesn’t run 0 speed usually

#

It does also seem that you’re just using CTS to your advantage which is fine, the team is worse when people know what they’re fighting

#

In OTS

#

anyway I have to write an essay, enjoy the team I’m not gonna try to convince you about not using houndstone as I don’t really know much about the sand archetype

autumn vault
#

I will admit houndstone wasn't being that great, getting of 1 or 2 howls and maybe a will o wisp and then dying

#

It is trash but it has a decent role

chrome knot
#

man if only there was a fire/dragon type with insane staying power that had howl

molten oasis
#

Lmfao

#

My point exactly

No wisp tho

molten oasis
mighty stump
chrome knot
#

I have no plans on denying it

chrome knot
#

vine boom

mighty stump
#

But if I'm mid

#

WHAT ARE ALL OF YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

chrome knot
#

if ur mid that makes me vry bad

molten oasis
#

Trash

bold geode
molten oasis
#

Also ik it’s mid

#

Cuz I can’t get out of it

mighty stump
#

Nah 1500s is dece

chrome knot
#

its ok i have 3 digit points count

bold geode
#

Higuruma gonna get Tofu off of mid allegations

mighty stump
#

I'm slowly also coming to the slow realisation ratings isn't everything

#

It paints a good sketch, irony in the metaphor intended

molten oasis
#

I do not care about my rating that much

#

I care more about w/l

#

And gxe

#

if it’s 60% I’m doing something right

mighty stump
#

Yea

chrome knot
#

i forgot it was gc season

#

meaning showdown is literal slop teams

foggy lodge
#

Hiiiii i'm in a tournament that it's theme is playing with pokemon exclusive of a region, i'm playing with Hoenn and i wanted to ask what do you think of this team

autumn vault
foggy lodge
#

The format is doubles but not vgc, is doubles 6v6, and i can only use a restricted and a minor legendary

autumn vault
#

I never did calcs until a few weeks ago

molten oasis
#

Time to dive in

#

Are there better grass types than shiftry?

#

Grass dark is so bad lol

#

well ig in the case of chlorophyll no

foggy lodge
#

The only other option is Ludicolo

#

And as a gimmick one Sceptile and Breelom

#

Breelom would be good i think, spore is always good

molten oasis
#

Yea

#

Sash spore Mach punch/close combat seed bomb

foggy lodge
#

The only problem is

#

Miraidon 💀

molten oasis
#

Oh

#

So someone gets gen 1 and 2 they’re absolutely cooked

#

And gen 9 gets miraidon

#

Gen 8 gets zacian

#

Gen 6 gets xern

molten oasis
#

What?

autumn vault
molten oasis
#

Yea

dull ibex
#

that makes sense

molten oasis
#

Cuz sand isn’t very good lol

autumn vault
#

True

molten oasis
#

I watched Niels video on it

autumn vault
#

But its cracked in the right circumstances and in the right hands

dull ibex
#

he says chimane is goated so I wanted to try it

molten oasis
#

Literally waited for what he had to say about set up balance and stopped lol

dull ibex
#

(I like flutteryu)

molten oasis
#

It is a lot of immediate offensive pressure

dull ibex
dull ibex
#

my favorite archetype is consistently good 😎

molten oasis
autumn vault
molten oasis
dull ibex
#

sun

molten oasis
#

Oh it’s sun?

dull ibex
#

I dont always play sun tbf

#

but yeah overall its sun by far

autumn vault
#

Mine is Sand, weezing and tr

molten oasis
#

I thought it was HO for the longest time

#

Cuz that’s all I see you play

dull ibex
#

alot of sun teams are HO

#

technically torn teams with sunny day are sun teams

molten oasis
#

Yea I consider those sun teams

#

Have you tried wake chi Yu torn before?

dull ibex
#

rain was my go to for a while

dull ibex
timber falcon
#

anyone have a nice AV bolt set?

autumn vault
timber falcon
#

Drago u there?

autumn vault
#

Yes he is here

molten oasis
#

no I’m not

autumn vault
dull ibex
#

My favorite teams ive played are kenukoal and clops tr

molten oasis
#

Oh, if you want calcs for that I have a blog up with a rundown of the team/Mon

dull ibex
#

probably more so the venukoal team because it was sunroom

#

sun room was dumb

timber falcon
molten oasis
#

Like, bad dumb or good dumb?

dull ibex
#

dmax venusaur.

molten oasis
#

Sash torn

dull ibex
#

soory G max venusaur

molten oasis
#

Why

#

Oh swsh, got it

timber falcon
molten oasis
#

Torn isn’t supposed to be an offensive Mon tho

#

It just sets tw rain and dies

timber falcon
#

oh poliwhirlkek

molten oasis
#

And bleakwind is just valuable chip damage

timber falcon
molten oasis
#

That’s what I meant by valuable chip

timber falcon
#

ohhh ok

#

so whats a good set?

#

rocky helm or cloak?

autumn vault
#

I use cloak

#

Helmet can work but i prefer cloak

timber falcon
#

Cloak it is, wouldnt like fake out stopping me from setting

The one tofu has in his rental also works

gentle cragBOT
molten oasis
#

Also, rain dance over icy wind or taunt

#

The rep increase once again

timber falcon
#

I’d sac icy wind, taunt is valuable sometimes ig

#

Also can gambit be replaced for durshifu?

#

Or does gambit stay

molten oasis
#

Yes

#

You have tools to handle tr (bolt)

autumn vault
#

Personally i would keep the rain and replace gambit for rapid urshifu

#

if there is 0 rain then yes dark urshifu

timber falcon
molten oasis
#

There is quite literally no reason to run palafin then lol

#

(Rapid strike makes this team a lot better btw)

timber falcon
#

Yes I know, but the goal is to see if palafin has what it takes

#

And if I’m being honest, it’s a struggle GengarSad

autumn vault
#

then go rain or just don't use palafin

#

it fell off hard for a lot of reasons

molten oasis
#

Yea, shifu lol

timber falcon
#

It’s a struggle yeah, but I so think it’s possible. I mean if you’re at the bottom of the barrel the only way is up

autumn vault
#

either that or stay at the bottom

timber falcon
#

Mhm

I think the next will be centered around snow

#

Baxcalibur in this

#

right?

autumn vault
#

100% alolan Ninetales and Articuno

molten oasis
#

It’s funny you think I’m using articuno

#

Even tho it won a regional I still don’t really think it’s good

autumn vault
#

well it won a regional, that is something

molten oasis
#

It’s alright

mighty stump
#

Tyo had to dodge a few really bad matchups to get it done

molten oasis
#

That is my opinion

mighty stump
#

It was a good c-team to the metagame though

molten oasis
#

I just really don’t think articuno is all that good

solid frigate
molten oasis
#

So, yea bax

#

Or bundle

solid frigate
#

or both but your choice

molten oasis
#

well no bundle ruins my life too much

solid frigate
#

so regular Bax set?

molten oasis
#

Idk yet

#

I’m debating if I want to do ddance or swords dance

#

I think loaded dice is kinda eh

autumn vault
#

You will use A9 right? (stupidest question i have ever made)

molten oasis
#

But im 100% doubt clear amulet

molten oasis

Also a9 is my second favorite Mon ever

#

It’s going to be the setter lol

Ik people like vulpix more

#

But like, how do you hate a9

dull ibex
#

I think a9 looks eh in game

#

looks fantastic in unite though

molten oasis
#

True

#

A9 in unite is awesome

#

Also the ingame sprite is fine lol

#

3d does ruin like every Mon tbf

solid frigate
#

why do i have a want to help him build Rillaboom Torkal

molten oasis
#

Should have stayed 2d smh

dull ibex
#

eh I dont agree

molten oasis
#

ok maybe not every

solid frigate
#

but then again incin is here so-

dull ibex
#

im gonna be honest thinking they could have stayed 2d is a delusional take imo

molten oasis
#

Koraidon looks awesome

autumn vault
#

A9 looks like a snow dog that jumped into water

molten oasis
#

That’s mean

dull ibex
molten oasis
#

oh, if I do a9, is Bax the niche pick

#

I’m not using mamoswine

#

That typing fucking blows

solid frigate
#

wait is rillaboom good on tr or should i use Amogus

molten oasis
#

Amoonguss

#

Hmm, I’m gonna go build a snow team I’ll be back

That’s funny

A good ursaluna build to tank a surging strikes

solid frigate

i'm using tr

You can still@run urshifu

I forgot the one weakness with snow is dealing with ice types defensively

16x-1 HP optimised for Burn

#

So you live without the Burn damage.

autumn vault
#

It's an ursaluna with a howl gouging fire

mighty stump
#

Buys time for Lunar Blessing.

autumn vault
#

Plus i like 252 hp ursaluna here

mighty stump
#

I mean if you're calcing bulk, mine is just more optimal

molten oasis
#

I’m tempted to do volcarona or goltres but I don’t want the core immediately hating rocks

#

although tbf snow hates rocks anyway

autumn vault
#

Its more of a "Up to date" build

#

dont get me wrong surviving urshifu is definetely good, but bundle is like 1% usage rn

mighty stump
#

Math doesn't change

#

Then take the SpDef out lol.

molten oasis
#

I think raging bolt is required to handle shifu torn

mighty stump
#

But don't come crying to me when Ursaluna gets nuked by a SpA move

molten oasis
#

(I’m thinking out loud don’t mind me)

autumn vault
solid frigate
#

wouldn't be funny if i put Tasugiri with storm drain to make it sucks up the water from Kyogre

( i phrase it badly sorry)

autumn vault
#

why does it tank every hit i try to calc on?

molten oasis
#

It’s bulky

#

It has fat hp

mighty stump
#

I mean idk what you're calcing at the moment that hits harder than an SE STAB 120 BP move from base 124 SpA

autumn vault

252 SpA Iron Bundle Hydro Pump vs. 252 HP / 128 SpD Ursaluna: 188-224 (79.3 - 94.5%) -- 6.3% chance to OHKO after burn damage

molten oasis
#

hmm, if I do ddance Bax what should it outspeed at +1

autumn vault
#

with 28 attack brave

molten oasis
#

Idt scarfshifu is worthwhile

mighty stump
#

252 Atk Mystic Water Urshifu-Rapid Strike Surging Strikes (3 hits) vs. 252 HP / 100 Def Ursaluna on a critical hit: 204-252 (86 - 106.3%) -- approx. 12.5% chance to OHKO

Yours is less physically bulky than mine lol

autumn vault
#

i can see why

mighty stump
#

Plus your HP isn't Burn optimised either

solid frigate

#

i forgot about that actually existing

Probabky just flutter

can you go with 4v4 draft pls?

atomic mural

the combo of incin miraidon iron bundle and landorus I is insane

autumn vault
#

I just had a bad matchup to your team thats all

atomic mural
#

well yeah but just in general its pretty strong

autumn vault
#

I changed zekrom's tera to flying

#

Besides a dragon dance + d claw could ohko miraidon anyway

atomic mural
#

yeah.. but like why

autumn vault
atomic mural
#

tera fairy is def the best for any electric dragon

#

ik flying gives you a better matchup into landorus I

#

but glimmora could be replaced by something else

autumn vault
#

I need a rock to beat flyers and ice types

#

Glimmora is the one for the job

atomic mural
#

like you can just close combat iron bundles

autumn vault

I know that

I am playing Kirby and The Forgotten Land rn so i cant reply super fast

atomic mural
#

thats okay

#

fire game

autumn vault
#

I have to rescue 6 waddle dees and then i rescue all 300

atomic mural
#

also if you really have trouble against ice and flying types you could replace amoongus with chien-pao

autumn vault
atomic mural
#

also yeah chien pao would make your teams mu against landorus I much better

#

and it can let zekrom due much more damage

autumn vault
atomic mural
#

and amoongus is just useless once electric terrain is up. sleep is rarely gonna come into play

autumn vault

And it can deal wih miraidon decently

You don't get that much out of the clear amulet without dragon dance

chrome knot

it synergizes less with ddance zekrom without redirection

And ddance can be lethal in the right circumstances

foggy lodge

Drop Amoonguss and use Ogerpon wellspring

You can use follow me

you dont need redirection for setup moves btw

im not gonna use the team

i would run choice band basc

the rain setter might be a bit of a problem…

idk i make random teams so-

foggy lodge
#

Ok so

#

Raging never uses booster energy, tera ice is bad, and it also has to run two electric moves, depending completely on tclap for your electric stab is bad

craggy dagger
foggy lodge
#

Tornadus is better than Whimsicott because in a two prankster set weather against Whimsicott, Tornadus wins because his weather is the one that goes after Whimsicott's weather

#

And the Chi-Yu is fine but i think is better choice specs on it

craggy dagger
#
  1. wym never uses booster-
  2. boltbeam coverage
  3. experimental
  4. whimsy is better with encore and taunt etc, faster prankser
  5. chi yu is running scarf to outspeed things
foggy lodge
#

In that team Raging doesn't need a booster because you have prankster sun setter, and Tornadus is still better, better flying type move to beat Ogerpon, Amoonguss or Rillaboom

molten oasis

Yeah bad choice of words, i meant that in that team Raging never should run booster, sorry
