Watch a replay of a Pokémon battle between sinclaires and TengoTos! Format: [Gen 9] VGC 2024 Reg F; Date: Mar 22, 2024
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
)
Also ignore the held items, I'll give them better ones
what format
Ogerpon wellspring is ironically 3rd most used pokemon, farigiraf can work, Sylveon although outclassed still sees niche usage, glimmora is seeing good amount of usage and for the others just replace them
Ah alr, just curious tho is there any way I could keep vaporeon? As uh I did use vitamins on it, like maybe changing ogerpons mask or smth?
Vaporeon sees 0.02% usage and it seems it's a calm mind scald tera blast user
Oh 
I mean you were right about the scald part but I was using a set up another person recommended
Acid armor boosts your defense stat by +2, i would reccomend remove Wish for calm mind to be a stronger wall and wall breaker
Alr thx, shouldn't be too hard too give it calm mind instead
kingscribblecat has given 1 Gen Rep to lycopoky
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
yea was joking thus the 
is this for singles or doubles
Doubles, as I prefer those
Also alr I couldn't tell 😭
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
A decent amount of pokemon have taunt too
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
Alr will do, thx
kingscribblecat has given 1 Gen Rep to kumicharizard
yea torn, flutter, urshifu dark, rillaboom, incineroar and a few other mid to low usage mons have it
I'm thinking non prankster ones as well
I mean out of the few I did mention only torn has prankster 
True
I want to suggest to also reframe your perspective and be aware that you’re well within your rights to use favourites/preferred picks, with the resulting consequence being a larger struggle in climbing/winning games in ranked
With that moveset it’s not really wallbreaking since it’ll be walled by Waterpon
I was referring to pokemon with the stat buffs that Vaporeon gets and baton passes it to
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
the 1st one is a redesigned team
The 2nd one is my Original Regigigas rental i posted a month ago
i feel like the one with Incin is better
cuz you have more support options
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2024regf-2086645055-g2vl8bklyevv2adqqakap1ock3gqx12pw
Also i saw this team three times in a row
Watch a replay of a Pokémon battle between Lycopoky Slimesy and MrMaisel! Format: [Gen 9] VGC 2024 Reg F; Date: Mar 22, 2024
is that a Rental Team?
True, but i can lower attack stats in neutralizing gas
volcarona,rillaboom,Incineroar,Urshifu Rapid,Bolt and Pao....
i actualy don't know if its a rental team or anytthing
well i still need to hear more opinions on the redesigned team
rn i just need couple adjustments on my Restricted
^
wait does neutralising Gas effect Protosynthesis
OHHHHH HOHO
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2024regf-2086649347 well crush grip did come useful, not at it's full potential
Watch a replay of a Pokémon battle between Damian is here and Lycopoky Slimesy! Format: [Gen 9] VGC 2024 Reg F; Date: Mar 22, 2024
Maybe i should stay with life orb and tera stellar
I am now at 1400 rating with my team
i have seen a tera stellar regigigas in a YT video
Why did they not thunderclap earlier? They took so much unnecessary damage
What i thought
I am retesing my regigigas team to see if it kept up or needed changes
Nice, curious is that bo1 or bo3?
Bo1
Nice
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
Nice to here that
Happens to a lot of teams, glad mine didn't fall prey to it
It’s a very cool team, I’m glad protosynthesis has finally been patched around neutralising gas
And Quark Drive
Unfortunately
Pretty much the same ability, but glad that’s also been patched
And also Orichalcum Pulse and Hadron Engine
For some reason they werent affected before
I wonder if we will ever get a special version of intimidate that lowers the opponents special attack
Anyways its now spring break, now i have time to build a team in game to post a rental of
Spring break?
Its a tyranitar houndstone team that won me a showdown room tour
Like Easter?
I think so
Oh ok, mines not till after next week so have fun
Mine actually starts next week on Monday, that is when it starts, i included the weekends because its when my break actually starts
Oh cool, have a nice break
You too Crephace
https://pokepast.es/8f388c05407c8289 here is the team btw
note: Tyranitar in Trick Room is busted af
same but with my team
but doubles Ubers so yeah don't count
houndstone 🔥 🔥 🔥
💪
Why houndstone
You haven’t fought a gallade or ursaluna then
i was on 5 members and needed a sand abuser, houndstone also does all right in trick room and it nerfs physical attackers
true
plus houndstone's howl buffs tyranitar a lot
rock slides become powerful as fuck
Mhmm
besides hardly anyone has experience against houndstone
and its a decent late game sweeper
i won a tour with houndstone
Not Excadrill however
That is not a reason to use houndstone
It does great in the sand and trick room, it can be good in both worlds
its ev'd to outspeed scarf jolly urshifu in sand and underspeeds it in normal circumstances,
Ghost
Sand Rush, Fluffy (Hidden)
72/101/100/50/97/68
488
the usual burn howl last respects
It’s base 68
It’s not good in tr
Ttar is the tr answer
Technically cuz yiu don’t outspeed anything
underspeed
in trick room it can outspeed faster threats
otherwise underspeed
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
Howl spam
Yea cuz houndstone really helps Bloodmoon with howls
I love spamming howl and will o wisp to annoy pthers
I never bring houndstone without tyranitar
Armarouge
Why do you have Bloodmoon then
Armarouge is 0 speed everytime so no
Synergizes well with Farigiraf
Why do you have farigiraf
For trick room mode
Besides i found that tyranitar and farigiraf ae a duo to not underestimate
single strike shifu would disagree
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
Ghost
Sand Rush, Fluffy (Hidden)

Atleast it has decent support
You’re literally forced to use last respects
And destiny bond can get a sneaky KO
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
So this is a gimmick then
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
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
Torn shifu (dark) would love to see a team like this tbh

Assuming you don’t bring Fariluna
Bolt is a decent urshifu (r) counter and again, i have tera fairy tera blast for a reason
yiu have Tera blast on bolt?
No, on tyranitar
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
It is a bit when the pokemon in mind has one of the worst types to ever exist, that is true but it's atleast a counter
No
True, but i lead tyranitar a lot so its an option that is most of the time there
Why do you have stomping tantrum on ttar what is that even for
To punish incineroar fake outs (without fari) and do a good chunk of damage on it
And that sure does plenty at -1
iirc it does around 60%
Way more than what high horsepower can achieve after a flinch
Are you faster than the average incin
I ran a 4 speed ev tyranitar
And it outspeed every incin i battled (with the 4 evs in speed)
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
Around 1400 rating
On the switch ladder master rank
Lower half
What about on showdown
1400 elo on showdown
That’s low elo
I said it before
What’s not low elo?
1500/1600
Cool
Yiu said 1400 then rating on cart
On cart its master rank
Besides i havent been playing competitive for a while
I need more context next time then cuz that confused me
Yiu just said rating
Not showdown rating
I see
SD rating is around 1400 elo
On cart its the top tier (master)
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
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
man if only there was a fire/dragon type with insane staying power that had howl

well thats like mid
ur mid !!!
vine boom
if ur mid that makes me vry bad
Trash
Yuji ass attitude
Yeah I did it
Nah 1500s is dece
its ok i have 3 digit points count
Higuruma gonna get Tofu off of mid allegations
I'm slowly also coming to the slow realisation ratings isn't everything
It paints a good sketch, irony in the metaphor intended
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
Yea
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
Trash as hell
The format is doubles but not vgc, is doubles 6v6, and i can only use a restricted and a minor legendary
I never did calcs until a few weeks ago
welp
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
The only other option is Ludicolo
And as a gimmick one Sceptile and Breelom
Breelom would be good i think, spore is always good
Wait wha?
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
Agreed

I watched it and sand is D tier (bottom) as the worst of the 20

But its cracked in the right circumstances and in the right hands
he says chimane is goated so I wanted to try it
Literally waited for what he had to say about set up balance and stopped lol
(I like flutteryu)
It is a lot of immediate offensive pressure
doesnt make it good tbf
Same but with sand
my favorite archetype is consistently good 😎
Yea by that logic spidops is someone’s #1 Pokémon
I know, there are team cores that are bad but can shine (looking at you weezing + regigigas)
You’re favorite archetype is HO
sun
Oh it’s sun?
Mine is Sand, weezing and tr
rain was my go to for a while
I think so
anyone have a nice AV bolt set?
Drago has ons
Drago u there?
Yes he is here
no I’m not
https://pokebin.com/8cd89259eafa2e7c this paste has the bolt set (its also a good team)
yoink
My favorite teams ive played are kenukoal and clops tr
Oh, if you want calcs for that I have a blog up with a rundown of the team/Mon
https://pokepast.es/158f9be73822e164 so ive spent the past few days trying out palafin and i think this set has what it takes
Like, bad dumb or good dumb?
dmax venusaur.
Sash torn
soory G max venusaur
mhm, lots of damage
oh 
And bleakwind is just valuable chip damage
rly? cause lately ive had torns really hurt my team. not as in chip but 2HKO potential
That’s what I meant by valuable chip
Cloak it is, wouldnt like fake out stopping me from setting
Tornadus @ Covert Cloak
Ability: Prankster
Level: 50
Tera Type: Steel
EVs: 252 HP / 220 Def / 36 SpA
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Bleakwind Storm
- Icy Wind
- Tailwind
- Taunt
The one tofu has in his rental also works
Thank a you
otot8953 has given 1 Gen Rep to drayagedrago
I’d sac icy wind, taunt is valuable sometimes ig
Also can gambit be replaced for durshifu?
Or does gambit stay
Personally i would keep the rain and replace gambit for rapid urshifu
if there is 0 rain then yes dark urshifu
But then that would destroy the point of palafin
There is quite literally no reason to run palafin then lol
(Rapid strike makes this team a lot better btw)
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 
Yea, shifu lol
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
true
either that or stay at the bottom
Mhm
Alr
Now that the gapdos team is finished
I think the next will be centered around snow
noice
Good luck on that
100% alolan Ninetales and Articuno
It’s funny you think I’m using articuno
Even tho it won a regional I still don’t really think it’s good
well it won a regional, that is something
It’s alright
Tyo had to dodge a few really bad matchups to get it done
That is my opinion
It was a good c-team to the metagame though
I just really don’t think articuno is all that good
baxcalibur should be in this team i think,just thinking cuz it feels criminal not to use it
or both but your choice
well no bundle ruins my life too much
so regular Bax set?
Idk yet
I’m debating if I want to do ddance or swords dance
I think loaded dice is kinda eh
You will use A9 right? (stupidest question i have ever made)
But im 100% doubt clear amulet
I said I’m using snow
Also a9 is my second favorite Mon ever
It’s going to be the setter lol
majestic fox
For once we completely disagree on something (I hate it)
i'm helping someone to make a Restricted team they want Dialga for Solo Restricted and Lunala for 2 restricted
Tr restricted team
got it
I like A-Vulpix but hate A9
auto correct didnt turn off
ok wha-
Looks solid
agreed
Looks great
True
A9 in unite is awesome
Also the ingame sprite is fine lol
3d does ruin like every Mon tbf
why do i have a want to help him build Rillaboom Torkal
Should have stayed 2d smh
eh I dont agree
ok maybe not every
but then again incin is here so-
im gonna be honest thinking they could have stayed 2d is a delusional take imo
Koraidon looks awesome
A9 looks like a snow dog that jumped into water
That’s mean
no you're right though
oh, if I do a9, is Bax the niche pick

I’m not using mamoswine
That typing fucking blows
wait is rillaboom good on tr or should i use Amogus
Fun fact about Mamoswine: In 2013 the winning team had a Mamoswine without evs on it (Basically the fuck you to evs and winning)
That’s funny
now i need water type for water fire grass core
Urshifu
Wait Urshifu>
252+ Atk Urshifu-Rapid Strike Surging Strikes (3 hits) vs. 252 HP / 100 Def Ursaluna on a critical hit: 186-222 (78.4 - 93.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after burn damage
A good ursaluna build to tank a surging strikes
i'm using tr
You can still@run urshifu
I forgot the one weakness with snow is dealing with ice types defensively
If you want a bulky Ursaluna
Ursaluna @ Flame Orb
Ability: Guts
Level: 50
Tera Type: Ghost
EVs: 140 HP / 28 Atk / 204 Def / 132 SpD / 4 Spe

Oo
252 Atk Mystic Water Urshifu-Rapid Strike Surging Strikes (3 hits) vs. 140 HP / 204 Def Ursaluna on a critical hit: 186-222 (83.4 - 99.5%) -- approx. 18.8% chance to OHKO after burn damage
252 SpA Iron Bundle Hydro Pump vs. 140 HP / 132 SpD Ursaluna: 186-222 (83.4 - 99.5%) -- 37.5% chance to OHKO after burn damage
16x-1 HP optimised for Burn
So you live without the Burn damage.
It's an ursaluna with a howl gouging fire
Buys time for Lunar Blessing.
Plus i like 252 hp ursaluna here
I mean if you're calcing bulk, mine is just more optimal
I’m tempted to do volcarona or goltres but I don’t want the core immediately hating rocks
although tbf snow hates rocks anyway
Its more of a "Up to date" build
dont get me wrong surviving urshifu is definetely good, but bundle is like 1% usage rn
I think raging bolt is required to handle shifu torn
But don't come crying to me when Ursaluna gets nuked by a SpA move
(I’m thinking out loud don’t mind me)
I am calcing on it to survive a SpA move actually
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)
why does it tank every hit i try to calc on?
I mean idk what you're calcing at the moment that hits harder than an SE STAB 120 BP move from base 124 SpA
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
252+ Atk Urshifu-Rapid Strike Surging Strikes (3 hits) vs. 252 HP / 100 Def Ursaluna on a critical hit: 186-222 (78.4 - 93.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after burn damage
hmm, if I do ddance Bax what should it outspeed at +1
with 28 attack brave
Idt scarfshifu is worthwhile
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
i can see why
Plus your HP isn't Burn optimised either
https://pokepast.es/8e0d2b3f201af6fc
Currently the team i am making
i forgot about that actually existing
Probabky just flutter
i forgot i existed
220 SpA Choice Specs Flutter Mane Moonblast vs. 100 HP / 68 SpD Baxcalibur through Aurora Veil: 169-201 (83.2 - 99%) -- guaranteed 2HKO neat
I forgot my beef with flutter mane
Mfw people try to tell me my spread isn't optimal
i don't know what Water types i should use in Trick Room-
Result: 247.500000
noted
Azumarill
I never said that your spread isn't optimal, i just don't like on how much you put into it's defense (and its for a good reason ik) and bundle isn't as common as it was
Slowbro/King
restricted tho? i know its good in Reg F
Palkia.
about that,my friend asked to use Dialga and Lunala for Restricted so yeah... thats why i am stuck
The point you're missing is that it's not about Bundle
Its the maximum threshold point
Then just slap Azumarill on there, no harm there
Damage is damage
huge Power Azu with Band?
140 hp is the max for burn optimization?
16x-1 is for burn optimisation
108+ SpA Raging Bolt Draco Meteor vs. 100 HP / 68 SpD Baxcalibur through Aurora Veil: 160-189 (78.8 - 93.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO huh
Band, LO, Belly Drum + Sitrus, Clear Amulet
Bax is bulky damn
AV
ok
ok final slot i can do something cheeky
Ursaluna @ Flame Orb

Adamant Nature

I will keep this set incase i need an ursaluna soon, also i was trying to calc differently because i was using a howl gouging fire with ursaluna, it has fari as the tr setter but i will save this on a cress tr team with ursaluna
ah
also i feel like i always forgot mind's Eye on Bloodmoon always hits Ghost types-
and also remember it ignores accuracy checks (cannot decrease accuracy and ignores evasion buffs and it's most optimal moves are 100% accurate)
except against snow cloak articuno
it will miss 25% of the time against an articuno in snow
252+ SpA Life Orb Ursaluna-Bloodmoon Blood Moon vs. 152 HP / 108 SpD Baxcalibur: 175-208 (83.7 - 99.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
What is this Mon lmao
Godzilla covered in snow
Just remember not to go too hard in bulk without damage
Unless you got like
good setup
or you can slowplay
https://pokepast.es/eabeb04fc50a0f1d
Should i have houndstone or gouging fire?
Idk what I need ti naturally wipe thi without ddance
Probably bolt (if possible)
And at +1 I need ti make sure crash ohkos flutter
Ok well at +1 it does lol
Ohko bolt
+1 0 Atk Baxcalibur Icicle Crash vs. 212 HP / 132 Def Flutter Mane: 129-153 (82.1 - 97.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO i hate this thing
0ATK jolly what the
Pure bulk go brr
I’m just doing calcs rn
+1 36 Atk Baxcalibur Icicle Crash vs. 212 HP / 132 Def Flutter Mane: 133-157 (84.7 - 100%) -- 6.3% chance to OHKO
WTF
That just tells me the amount of investment I need for ohkoing a flutter at +1
Adamant
Okay lmao
+1 36+ Atk Baxcalibur Icicle Crash vs. 212 HP / 132 Def Flutter Mane: 145-172 (92.3 - 109.5%) -- 56.3% chance to OHKO
Much better
Well, ill outspeed lando at +1
+1 140+ Atk Baxcalibur Icicle Crash vs. 212 HP / 132 Def Flutter Mane: 157-186 (100 - 118.4%) -- guaranteed OHKO
The max needed
Lando cries at Ice Shard
+1 140+ Atk Baxcalibur Ice Shard vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Landorus: 252-300 (153.6 - 182.9%) -- guaranteed OHKO
perfectly accurate
+1 0 Atk Baxcalibur Ice Shard vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Landorus: 204-244 (124.3 - 148.7%) -- guaranteed OHKO
Cry Landorus-Incarnate, cry
Like, swords dance shard glaive rush protect?
I have blizzard spam as well with a9
Hmm
I’ll try that
+2 ice shard should be hitting fairly hard in general
I live mane things behind veil

@molten oasis This was the old set when Heatran was relevant
Lol
when heatran was relevant lol
252+ SpA Pixie Plate Tera-Fairy Flutter Mane Moonblast vs. 252 HP / 156 SpD Baxcalibur through Aurora Veil: 187-221 (84.2 - 99.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
The Def? Forgor
Probably a dump
I’ll check shifu
252+ Atk Urshifu-Rapid Strike Close Combat vs. 252 HP / 92 Def Baxcalibur in Snow through Aurora Veil: 97-116 (43.6 - 52.2%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Ice Body recovery
That’s crazy lol
I’ve noticed it a bit more but not enough to worry about it yet
yo can you battle
What's your opinion on Eweb Bolt?
Yeah I got it on my team rn to help Lando I out and I haven't noticed it helping Harc with notable stuff, but I feel like there's probably something I'm missing
One of these days I’ll get lando t to work
Anyway, https://pokepast.es/7c81cb323464a5d4 variant 1
Gholdengo returns, we love dengo
I've thought about Clear Amulet Lando T
well, can’t do CA and idk how badly I want to do scarf
Yeah tbf Lando T was in a weird speed tier in the meta
Admittedly incarnate is better but also
I want the genie tiger to work I kinda miss it lol
If anyone has noticed a pattern it literally shows up on so many first variants of my teams lol
Shifu becoming a scarf Mon kinda caused it’s downfall imo
Yes actually
It coming back though
People realizing shit still good
Lando t?
I'm cooking
Ooo garchomp
you wanna do open team sheet or nah
Monke why do you often disappear when I respond to you lol
Ok
- Urshifu Rapid Strike
- Cuz I'm working lmao
I am Lycopoky Slimesy in showdown
you do have to put your team under the reg f for no ev option
wait what?
If it feels bad I’ll try scarf and swap out shifu
If that feels bad I’ll switch to incarnate
put you team under Regualtion f vgc doubles in the team builder
so you can send a no ev poke paste
Just make the move lmao
Without evs?
No
Become infected with Sheer Force funny moments
I want Therian to work
yeah so you cant just calculate everything and waste time
done, now what
Also incarnate is so ugly
https://pokepast.es/314a0756c16def0f is the team without evs
Me who made Upper Hand Infernape Dnite combo
alright whats your user
This is worse
Lycopoky Slimesy
nearly the same corny
bro why does earth power do so much to assault vest rillaboom 💀
idk
Cuz lando I is stupid

landorus waking up mattered
yeah
maybe i shouldn't use ddance zekrom
hold on whats your zekroms speed evs
supposed to be max
also you should probably be tera water on amoongus
didn't you say 0 evs?
bruh
i forgot the tera for moonguss
NOT THE POKEMON
i meant to show the ots version of poke paste
so it dosent show your evs
true
yeah please do
done
hold on just checking something
atleast we now know why EP from landorus did so much damage
yeah lmao
You know if you pick 4v4 Draft it forces 4 slots to be picked right
i see
can you go with 4v4 draft pls?
the combo of incin miraidon iron bundle and landorus I is insane
I just had a bad matchup to your team thats all
well yeah but just in general its pretty strong
I changed zekrom's tera to flying
Besides a dragon dance + d claw could ohko miraidon anyway
yeah.. but like why
Why what?
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
flying types you have zekrom and ice you have incin and urhifu
like you can just close combat iron bundles
I know that
I am playing Kirby and The Forgotten Land rn so i cant reply super fast
I have to rescue 6 waddle dees and then i rescue all 300
also if you really have trouble against ice and flying types you could replace amoongus with chien-pao
nice
Its 95% completed
also yeah chien pao would make your teams mu against landorus I much better
and it can let zekrom due much more damage
Back to topic, that is true
and amoongus is just useless once electric terrain is up. sleep is rarely gonna come into play
And it can deal wih miraidon decently
yeah
:/
lmao
I can
The one time im in the mood
lol
Did you just said nah
I changed my thoughts
I was playing Kirby but i can resume it later
If that’s cool with you
Lycopoky Slimesy
K
quick replace amoongus with chien pao
done
Nah, i will replace glimm for chien
battle between me and drago
I need a new reg please
I love regulation F, there is a lot of archertypes that are actually viable
Probably the best regulation of the game so far
But i need a change and i want to play with the funny new toy (Miraidon)
YESS
reg F started super fun but once people found the strong balance comp, it became a bit boring
raging bolt is so broken
can wait for miraidon to be way worse 😎
At least Raikou is technically viable for the first time since gen 2
it is?
running back to hard tr made reg fun again ngl
im excited for orlando
Ggs
dang
like not having tera flying
and with chien pao your landorus mu is way better to handle
I think maybe i should make zekrom a scarfed one
It doesn't add any resistance
it’s crazy how TR sweeps all these minor regionals and then never really tops big ones, hopefully that changes in vancouver
Can’t argue that
The same with tera Ground
ruby & victoria are there i believe in them both to do great
And electric sucker punch
australia hard TR was great, Brazil hard TR got finals, but in NA and EU it’s barely making day 2
fun fact I’ve played Victoria on the showdown ladder like 10 times this week
Also @autumn vault I think I got you with the switch
we must be playing at the same time or something lol
i think shes just like 24/7 player lmfao
Like, incin wasn’t doing anything so I felt like it made sense to just checkmate that spot
I feel bad because my Brave 0SPE Urshifu one shot her Ursaluna under TR Lol
I think the team is solid but flying Tera on zekrom is not it
pfft
Lol
why are you 0 0 urshifu
global challenge baby
somebody @ windsor mss had a freaky ass 0 0 ogerpon
Oh is the a gc rn?
running smeargle/torkoal/farig/urshifu
I need to remove rillaboom
euww ur a creature omg
Wait is there a GC going on rn
Smeargle is so fun but now it's so bad
What is bad about rilla here?
i played balance for the last two GC’s and did bad hahaha
shares grass with amoonguss
time to become the cheeser
then dont have amoonguss
Drop amoonguss lol
Smeargle only works on console ladder
eject pack smeargle
Ah then yeah
for what?
Teams always have Ogerpon + Rillaboom or Amoonguss
driving to ur house and blowing up ur switch if i match vs you NGL
Hmm
Not Rillaboom and Amoonguss
To remove miraidon's terrain i need either indeedee or rillaboom
Pao baybee
i already run ice spinner on chien pao (now i am questioning wtf was i thinking)
https://pokepast.es/f647328a568d7f0d here is the team
pretend zekrom has ddance and protect
and not rock slide or dual wingbeat
Amoonguss can go for, hmm
https://pokepast.es/048a36d18fa1dcd7 fixes done
Ogerpon?
You could do that
Wish me luck guys i'm in ultra ball in ladder
https://pokepast.es/5f4f5a33afddd321 this could be fine
Yeah dragon dance
You don't get that much out of the clear amulet without dragon dance
youll want spinner
it synergizes less with ddance zekrom without redirection
And ddance can be lethal in the right circumstances
you dont need redirection for setup moves btw
Or even you know
Fuck it, Clefairy
spinner is gonna be the norm for pao next reg bc of all the terrain
true, but it would remove your terrain
Maybe clefairy
where on earth is pao playing next to miraidon and why lmao
i be lowering my defence for fun
But it helps setting up way easier, look at belly drum users they almost always have redirection
Or a ton of fake out users
ddance does NOT half your hp
that is true
there is a substantial difference between that and ddance😭
but it helps to set up easier, that is what i am trying to say
i meant more like if you have rilla and chien on the same team
if you dont have a terrain setter, then yeah, use ice spinner
chien pao groudon teams 🔥
Chien Pao Rayquaza teams are even more threatening
tested,I love Terapagos even more
150 attack + SoR is busted af
dragonite would still be better due to inner focus
Nah i testes
i think Rayquaza compare to dragonite,Dragonite feels more viable
Dragonite has inner focus
I get it: Inner focus is good but without intimidate, then what? 150 is bigger than 130
Only thing dragonite brings is inner focus (which is big)
Intimidate lowers way more
i mean Incineroar is gonna be EVERYWHERE
And fake out
most dragon legends suck except like latias and latios and if rayquaza megas
but thats it
Miraidon:
true
Latias and Latios are still kinda mid
Koraidon,Kyurem
Bring back soul des from gen 3 🔥🔥
https://pokepast.es/169f256148a479f4
What i could come up with
https://pokepast.es/fc47c8600c0878ba
I made this team for my friend,is it ok
protect assault vest dialga 🔥
Can we get this to the starboard?
lol
Anyways back to pink ball game
🔥🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥

i hate you. (Jk)
We banning miraidon out of ubers with this one 🗣️
making a whole new tier: HITTG (How is it THAT good)
thats just Anything Goes.
AG exists
well technically Mega Ray Ray has counter plays so idk why they banned it to AG
do you know what you are talking about?
MF had 0 weaknesses from flying
idk cuz i am stupid after i used brain on the competitve match
only 3 from dragon

look i am ADHD i don't have good focus
oh apologies
paralaysis dosent effect me (My ability is purifying salt)
I eat a lot of pretzels with salt
I am so weak and my speed is halfed (Slow Start) in the bed
I'm just Air Lock (Cloud Nine)
i-
https://pokepast.es/4c1eac71b28c674a
here’s a thought-
WHIMSICOTT YEAAAAAAAAA
thank god normal looking team
otot8953 has given 1 Gen Rep to stargazer_nova
really?
i wouldn’t say normal…
Me when society does something bad:
but def more on the tamer side of my chaos
if Whimsicott is here i love it but interestinf Bolt Beam Ragin Bolt
What do you think about a Rain team based on Archaludon and Basculegion? Should I focus on 1 only?
Archaludon,No question
sorry i just love to use Archaludon
i am obsessed using it since Indigo DIsk Debut

no no i understand and archa is good
i mean why not both
Yeah, I was asking that haha
yeah you can use both since they synergize really well
I'll try to cook something tomorrow, thanks!!
Any tips before doing anything? I was thinking Assault Vest Archaludon and Life Orb Basculegion, but 0 clue for the rest of them
This is totally fair, I also love our big building boy, specially the shiny form
i would run choice band basc
but you can also run scarf adaptability
Thanks! Any idea for the rest of the team? I'd love to use something like the "classic" Archaludon teams but Idk if people already is very used to play against it
the rain setter might be a bit of a problem…
i’m thinking maybe corviknight for rain and tailwind setter?
i don’t really like how you’d be weak to raging bolt with trying to set the rain but

or just classic peli/ torn .......
also whimsy yeah cause faster sun setter :>
she’s also cuter than torn 
Don't take this in a bad way, but it's a serious team?
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

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
- wym never uses booster-
- boltbeam coverage
- experimental
- whimsy is better with encore and taunt etc, faster prankser
- chi yu is running scarf to outspeed things
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
https://pokepast.es/42a050dfc007f8fe thoughts on this y’all?
It has used booster, iirc Aurelien who was a finalist in Utrecht used Booster
Yeah bad choice of words, i meant that in that team Raging never should run booster, sorry
Nvm it was AV
But Bolt runs Booster
I run a similar team but instead of Landorus, i use Amoonguss, but pretty good
It had a , i forgot to add it sorry
Raging Bolt @ Leftovers
Ability: Protosynthesis
Level: 50
Tera Type: Fairy
IVs: 20 Atk
- Calm Mind
- Thunderclap
- Draco Meteor
- Protect
im not planning on changing the moveset
This is the most popular Raging calm mind set
and i know what im doing don’t worry-
I personally don't like it because the only electric move it has is tclap but that's just personal opinion
bolt beam coverage :3
what do you not hit for neutral between dragon/electric? Pretty much everything in the meta will take neutral from one of those
just lost like 10 consecutive games with palafin 
Whatever ever makes you happy my friend
that’s fair
but i don’t like the idea of bolt having to kinda just sit there while a lando I is on the field
A Farigiraf with 188 in HP, 156 in Sp. Att, 196 in Sp. def, and 44 in def isn't possible right?
