I did but i felt it had too much bulk for my liking, i adjusted it because of HH
Yeah no max spatk
Unsurprisingly lefties chien pao did not win
what
We’re talking about bolt right?
so you want to die to flutte lando and pao
It survives e-power fro max special attack lando
I mean it lives jolly crash at least
not with the adjusted evs
Hmmm okay.
I havent touched it's hp or defense so dying to pao is not likeu at max hp
Run like Taunt or Substitute instead of Sandsear
Sandsear ain't really consistent
Unless it's raining
Yeah unless it's raining
You can put it on an archaludon team and it fits
That's about it
If you want to run that much you have to go 76 speed at least on your bolt, so you’d go like 220
252 Atk Sword of Ruin Chien-Pao Icicle Crash vs. 116 HP / 92 Def Raging Bolt: 180-212 (83.7 - 98.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
I’m talking about that Raging Bolt spreead
Yeah
Speed is fine
I already calc’d that
Honestly just go back to Drago's bulk, it's fucking stupid how it works
ok ig you do STILL
you do not
ever need max special attack
what kills are you not picking up that decided this?
I’m using 228/-0/108/164+/4/4 rn
if its av no but if not yes
It’s fine
holy shit bolts are running up to 156 speed
Wtf
😃
When
Raging Bolt @ Safety Goggles
Ability: Protosynthesis

Tera Type: Water
EVs: 180 HP / 68 Def / 100 SpA / 4 SpD / 156 Spe

- Thunderbolt
- Draco Meteor
- Thunderclap
- Protect
On a tw team right??
id assume so
Okay thank god
@molten oasis Do you have a pokepaste for your RB spreads?
im adjusting evs to allow my bolt to outspeed and kill bolts
Oh I think Wolfe ran a decent amount of speed on like
His Exeggutor team
That's about it
Nvm. Already saw it.
lol all good
I don't think that the CM Bolts are running 156 speed
What do y’all use for most common ev spreads? I use labmaus
lemme look at that
Wait Tera Water?
The Calm Mind Bolt from the original Japan balance 6 is running 4 speed EVs, but the new ones MIGHT be faster? Probably not by much though
Stormclaw (Raging Bolt) @ Assault Vest

Also no snarl?
I'm jinxing myself at this point lol.
That’s only on AV bolt
@prime hazel Pokepaste: https://pokepast.es/3675d96625ad0b36, Rental Code: J4M9L7. Its a very basic team posted by Cybertron (Very good player, would highly recommend watching their videos). Basic premise, is that ogerpon can protect its teamates with follow me allowing for a near free setup of a nasty plot (+2 Special Attack), and Tornadus, allows for speed control and also weather control. Urshifu does big damage and Incineroar is the perfect support pokemon.
how do i look at ev spreads on labmaus
I honestly do not think that any Calm Mind Bolts are running over 100 EVs in speed
Hell maybe not even over 60
I swear I’ve done it hold on
Drago I'd honestly like
Keep bumping up a stat point until you find the most consistent speed
I was tripping nvm
thats so much testing monke
But I think you just go like 12-20 EVs
i see 68 a lot
Find out Latest Pokemon Showdown Usage Statistics. Most Pokemon Showdown formats supported!
Yeah both the one in Japan balance and mine and Tofu's old one never went past 4
I honestly don't think Calm Mind Bolt is going 68
Maybe Magnet or Booster
Or even AV
I'm just saying
I'd go 20 EVs for now
If you keep getting outsped, go a bit higher
Actually hold on
I think ting-lu should always win against bolt
nothing on munchstats says 20
i cant replace any members
What are the members
Ok Tyo's set has 84, and that's the most I've seen except for Wolfe's Exeggutor team maybe
prima incin hearthflame bolt fari and gapdos
what
tofu do you know what the average calm mind bolt hits speed wise?
Stomping on Ogerpon?
I run 68
76 it is
Why fast
Is choice scarf on rapid urshifu really better than mystic water?

new set
I find it limiting considering you can only use one move...
That’s why you run U-Turn
CS Urshifu is used as a positional pin
Both are very good, for tailwind mystic is also good
100 sp.def?
What does?
lemme go check what those were for 1 sec

I assume it was just for more bulk
wait thats not, fuck
36+ SpA Protosynthesis Tera-Fairy Flutter Mane Moonblast vs. 116 HP / 100 SpD Assault Vest Raging Bolt: 180-216 (83.7 - 100.4%) -- 6.3% chance to OHKO
36 SpA Beads of Ruin Tera-Fairy Flutter Mane Moonblast vs. 116 HP / 100 SpD Assault Vest Raging Bolt: 168-200 (78.1 - 93%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Hmmm... 76 speed.... 🤔 Okay...
with the amount of special attack invest i have i still ohko things
I'll use this for now. xD
ok
What do we think about the tera fire clear amulet pao set?
i forgot that was a thing
that’s a thing?
I’ve been wanting to try it, since incin in team preview just makes me not want to lead it at all
its probably fine
My leads would be much more flexible
I personally think that trying to survive such a super effective hit like this is not that important, besides with the team i use it does pretty good against flutter which is another reason i switched ev spreads
what?
Oh that
I wouldn't say it's the best
I still think Sash Ghost is the way to go
What are smoking???
Before I was sash stellar
Surviving powerful hits is important dont get me wrong, besides i have snarl and tera fairy on it so that is less worying
I’m testing it on 1500 ladder rn so I’ll know soon
Stellar is nice, but I love dodging Fake Outs
My peak
nice
If it was a non-tera format i would try to build bolt to survive beads of ruin moonblast but teras exist and so does snarl, tera fairy is very good anyways and helps counter both urshifus
I’m at the same point too, absolute W
I dropped down like 80 ELO and 7% afterwards though due to dumb shit
But 70% GXE?
you dont get a snarl off first
That is true
65%, not that fr off
I don't even care about ELO, it's just like
Pairing it with my best GXE ever like
But a tera fairy moonblast isnt that threatening when i tera bolt and use snarl after it's moonblast
How is gxe calculated?
Crits exist but it isnt urshifu and flutter wont spam it like crazy unlike urshifu
Idk just win lmao
youre not relying on tera
Valid
on bolt
Valid
I'll change your EVs Drago
Make you short
monke
I have saw WolfeyVGC's video and a bolt with way too much investment can ohko mane but this bolt isn't like his and again, flutter isnt a bad mu onto my team
Wait idk if Drago's even tall
YEA
the only kills you miss with my investment is MAYBE a bolt
That Bolt was also running Tera Electric and Magnet and needed HH still
with my new spread its the same thing
im just faster and i dont miss any important ko's
If it was a team with a bigger weakness to flutter yes i would use your spread but it isn't a bad MU so i dont have to worry too much about it, i also use thunderbolt btw so it can matter (not too much but something)
thats not the fucking point, yk what whatever
you want to die to flutter EVEN WITH YOUR ANSWERS go ahead idgaf
See you can't change spreads willy nilly without knowing what they do, spreads are made an exact way for a reason
I tested the bolt because tests never lie (mostly) and it isn't causing much issue for the team and itself
Someone give me an av incin spread please
Because you have a poltergeist Mon
That’s is literally why you’re changing the spreads
I think Wolfe's is probably solid enough on that Exeggutor team
Not poltergeist specifically but close
Idk what that is
https://pokepast.es/0adc7b1b6a288262 Aight. That's my team. XD
You have a single Mon that handles flutter which for some reason gives the thought of I don’t need defense evs and for some fucking reason you need max special attack and the reasons why aren’t getting to your head
Expanding force without psychic terrain is a crime
Oh fudge. What am I doing...
I forgot about indeedee...
Haven’t put to much input into this team but could a 6 of flutter, Kingambit, gouging fire, Ogerpon-w, Landorus-I and amoongus work. Gives lots of redirection for Landorus to set up, gouging + Kingambit is strong. Flutter = Flutter. And it has both a fwg core and fairy, steel and dragon core.
Could yeah
I don't see why not
Cool
What’s his spread?
Who’s spread?
Watch his Exeggutor vid
In my team i only notice 2 pokemon vunerable to it, tyranitar who has sand and bolt, houndstone in sand can outspeed non booster speed flutter and ohko it with poltergeist and wellspring can always tera and redirect moonblast without much issue or annihilate it with ivy cudgel
Oh the wolfey vid
I'm working rn lmao
I’ve been watching it was it in the beginning?
Teams with flutter answers still calc to live flutter
Yeah
When he first shows the Incineroar
Ah
I can confirm, we do
Just because it hasn’t been a problem doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be prepared for it
Max hp tyranitar definetely survives moonblast in sand pretty well and its banded knock off
Does it live 2
Let me go calc that
If the answer isn’t no, I will be shocked
Looks good to me
36 SpA Flutter Mane Moonblast vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Assault Vest Tyranitar in Sand: 66-78 (31.8 - 37.6%) -- 69.9% chance to 3HKO
Honestly if you want to drop bulk
Damn
I am shocked
Go 252 252
On RB?
Yes
252 SpA Protosynthesis Flutter Mane Moonblast vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Assault Vest Tyranitar in Sand: 98-116 (47.3 - 56%) -- 73.8% chance to 2HKO
A chace to live 2
Cuz our ttar user thinks that my evs are a waste for his team because of flutter
Not being an issue
LMFAO Drago just go cool off
Thanks for saying this Monke
lycopoky has given 1 Gen Rep to dollarmonke
I never said your evs are a waste
HP SP Attack?
I ignore 1 and all of a sudden i ignore ev spreads and try to get worse which is clearly not the case
So I can’t defend my ev spread at all being tinkered with
I'm not saying it to side with ya though lol
I think just changing it cuz one thing counters it is dumb especially considering Flutter is everywhere
You have though
And has it worked?
Sometimes there's battles that aren't worth fighting
Ok dad
How about everyone calms down, and takes a breath outside and gets some water to clear our heads.
Yes
Now here's your glass of millk
I mean
I am chill rn, but a reminder is always nice Crephace
Every individual should weigh the input of another’s opinion differently
Some opinions matter more than others
Yes i saw it
Is EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 Spe viable on RB? I don't even see this being used in pyka lol.
I wasn’t talking to you when I said that
I don’t use rb, I can’t help you
Honestly i dont have much objections that are that bad
MB MB... xD
With the bolt, the spread I gave you should be fine
You're trash
How about we stop with these arguments and move onto some other point of conversation, I think it will be overall more practical
Yes
Ok, 1 note, if you want ti max damage go 252 hp 252 spa modest and don’t mess with ev spreads thanks
That’s all
Stop, we moved on. No more mention of previous conversation till all egos have calmed.
It was a final note, whatsver
I don’t see an argument going on lol

Scroll up
That was an argument?
For once I try to be helpful. I don’t want to have to be helpful again
You don’t have to be though

Sometimes people gotta sort thjngs out
The math ain't mathin
The consequences that follows are up to the participants anyhow
I tried to be as chill as possible, like what Crephace would say we should move on from it
Tofu I got a question for ya
Am I a dumbass for thinking about Tera Flying Blast Lando I?
Not really.
But I choose to
No no you are onto something
Bug, Dark, Dragon, Fighting, Flying, Ghost, Ground, Ice, Normal, Psychic, Stellar, Water
Electric, Fairy, Fire, Grass, Poison, Rock, Steel
Idk Poison Tera kinda just better though
If it had a secondary effect though
Dark, Dragon, Flying, Ghost, Ground, Ice, Normal, Psychic, Stellar, Water
Bug, Electric, Fairy, Fighting, Fire, Grass, Poison, Rock, Steel
You gain 2 more types to hit for se ig
I mean
Idk why I've never seen it
Cuz poison does most of what flying does, I think
Then again, I remember the Choice Specs Landorus Therian I fought once
Both are super effective against flying, they dont share any other types they are super effective against
What i’m trying to say is, blanket statements that try to just cut off a conversation that has already died down isn’t really productive
…
That’s an odd item to use
Drago clearly reeled it in already
Yeah
Just making the water stagnant
Ok, you’re not wrong, I just wanted to talk about something else.
It’s bound to get heated in this channel anyways
Yeah imma go ask Brady now bitch bye
Water stagnant?
Idk
Me no no English
Calm water over crashing waves
Oh, thanks
That’s true
Crasher Wake (fuck that guy)
I don’t mind healthy flames, I’m sure no one bears any real ill will either
I didn't, i only messed with evs a bit
Sometimes they just get fanned too hot
No, I just don’t like seeing my evs tinkered with
I hate all you fuckers (joke)
What’s funny is you were just being right and I felt like I was being scolded by a teacher. Weird feeling that
Ok Fucker (joke)
turns on camera to see I'm actually Jerry Trainor
Anyhow, carry on
I have to work, so bye
Bye Drago, have a good day
Cya
So I heard once Rillaboom looks like it's forklift certified. Thoughts?
I agree, do you think pangoro is forklift certified?
It do be quite stronk
Well i also have to go
Ok
Bye humans, have a good day
Cya
yo bro I said this last year
Anyone who could help me with an ev spread for a tera fire miracle seed Rillaboom?
Tailwind or no Tailwind on the team?
No tailwind
Speed control with Icy wind Flutter and Raging electroweb
This is the team

yeah im not sure what to lead into what which is currently fustrating me the most
the target prioritzation and misplays I can work on, I want to get good at leads again
You can send pokepaste and we can assist with the leads
so far working with this v
https://pokepast.es/de0d32d73cb7eb96 sorry keyboard is weird
Flutter + Chi-Yu and Urshifu-S/Glimmora + Tornadus are good leads
Chi-Yu + Glimmora
Ogerpon-W + Flutter/Chi-Yu/Urshifu-S
That is all i got
Ogerpon needs to be Jolly 188
and the Urshifu is Adamant
Gotcha
https://pokepast.es/624c91b38705cb3a did i cook?
Why stellar instead of normal? Isn't the boost +50% either way?
On Normal types usually (due to their high coverage) Stellar tera gives more value if you're going for an offensive mode to boost essentially all of your moves.
You did not, no.
- Scream Tail is inefficient with Perish Song since you don't have trapping or true bulk to actually stall besides Arboliva.
- Typhlosion still needs another Fire STAB besides Eruption. Anti-priority essentially required + Speed Control
- Arboliva is just meh. The set is also wasting EVs.
- Walking Wake in Sun would rather just run Tera Fire/Tera Steel with Flamethrower. Set is also wasting EVs
- Chi-Yu is the wrong nature. Overheat does more for you than Psychic.
And structurally it just looks overall clunky
I'd be concerned about the linearity of the potential gameplan considering you have only 1 real mode
thanks for the feedback in reconsider some things
Iirc the investment i have on regigigas can ohko incineroar with a stellar boosted DE
https://pokepast.es/1bb8d909fc0e301f
I hope you don't see me during the GC 
I am coming with my sand team https://pokepast.es/90485397365247fd be afraid
Goatres will prevail

How do y’all feel about Wolfey’s exeggutor team? Would you guys make any changes to it if I were to use it in the GC?
I would make bolt bulkier without removing any SpA
With T-Clap it isnt that important to outspeed scarf urshifu
If they Aqua Jet and are faster, your Tclap fails.
Then use thunderbolt
I mostly use T-Bolt unless they go before a pokemon that is faster without urshifu having scarf
The likelihood that you'll outspeed scarf shifu with bolt is like none anyway - I'm not sure of the set, but I know Exeggutor is pretty niche for a pick and has a good deal of things threatening it (Incineroar is a big one)
Frankly though, if it's a Calm Mind/Tclap set that only runs Clap as the electric option, replace it with Tbolt anyway
So from what I have understood, Wolfe is a really good player, even better with weird picks and other people will likely struggle to get as much value. That makes sense.
He did win 2016 VGC with a hitmontop and Raichu (endeavor ik)
Yes, 100%
Like Wolfe will perform better than me with anything, including weird stuff, and that just means he's a higher caliber player than me - not specifically that the mon is good or anything. Could be, but it's Exeggutor. xD
I know, I was simply stating that using exeggutor will probably be a bad idea
If you're not in contention for points and a Worlds invite, needing the GC to have a CP payout in order to help pad your total, then it's a good place to just play something that's fun or you like in a general sense.
Fair enough, I have awful internet so I don’t participate
That's understandable for sure
I have pretty good internet so i will play
I mean I can’t judge what people use, I’m the classic dondozo user, so whatever others play is more valid than my team.
I'm playing Dondozo on my GC team this time - first time using it. Uniquely a lot of teams are really soft to it right now, so I'm down for it 🤷
What’s on your team, if you don’t care about sharing that is
Oh that’s your team a 2x2x2, looks interesting. I’m glad I’m not playing against that.
Yeah nothing insanely groundbreaking, but very effective 🤷
with Tasu or no
It was with tatsu
I suck dude
What metric are you basing your suckiness on
I can’t fucking beat anything, taunt flutter
Faster ogerpon
The fucking randomness of bo1 is so annoying
How am I supposed to set up Primarina when you’re spamming taunt on a fucking fluttermane
Well a turn of them clicking Taunt is a turn of them not doing damage
I had incin and Prima in the field next to Tera fire ogerpon, I made 1 play correct the whole game and lost because their ogerpon was faster
And they’re running taunt and icy wind
And then someone I fight gets ALL of their sacred fire burns and I miss my wisp in return
It is a combination of getting cheeses
With rng
Miss playing
And evs BARELY mattering
Well I guess the next wall you face is just acceptance really
But with the EVs, you might just need to reframe it and check their relevance
Acceptance I can’t pilot this team and I need to go play double fo bolt meta yippee
No, I feel like any adjustment I make feels worthless
The speed on bolt hasn’t felt useful at all
Okay
Go take a break
And just take the speed on bolt and dump it into bulk or something else
Everything is meant to "barely matter" since the whole game is about microadjusting constantly
fair, dropping this shit team, doenst work, I don’t understand how I managed to get a result in a tournament with this and then I can’t even keep it in 1500’s
Sometimes the process is easier than you think.
- Has this felt important? No? Dump it
Yeah but which result are you choosing to focus on lol
I don't think some top players care about their current ladder ratings
…fair
Well I’m not a top player, I’m like, above average maybe
but I can follow in the footsteps of them ig
Just do Bo1 for what it is
Bo1 and just to get a judge
A read
On like
How things feel
Beyond the rng being obviously on their side today, the team is, fine
Is gouging fire generally Tera fairy?
Asking/bo3 ladder
Yes
Thanks
crephace has given 1 Gen Rep to drayagedrago
It's for the Breaking Swipe mirrors and Darkshifu
Cool
Gouging Fire is it's own answer
https://pokepast.es/f284997bccd15808 so, ig dump the speed into hp/spa
I’m kinda considering a different Tera for Prima, kinda
Fire
It hasn’t been bad but fire types have been, annoying
Alr
Why that over like, poison for example?
Oh no shit the speed wasn’t doing anything I had the wrong fucking evs

Alr
or mane
and if theyre clicking Taunt
Just click buttons
They only have so much HP lol
Thoughts? https://pokepast.es/b3f33d1f8e06d03e
I’m starting to consider eweb bolt
It is pretty good
Idk if that’s what I’m going to end up doing
I’m mostly worried about gouging Fire as they’re hitting like, max speed
And Gapdos can’t outspeed that without going jolly
Although I want tclap and tbolt so I’m probably gonna drop snarl if I do that
Helli hello comp chat
Hi
Hi
How are you?
Have I missed anything?
Not really no
Great thanks
I have a team I’m happy with
Building the 5th paladfin team today (5th times the charm)
Other than that, you haven’t missed anything
How’s the delusion still kicking in?
One day I tell you one day
Alright
Heck even if reg g comes out I’ll still be working on it
Shifu is better, just saying
Yeah I know
Dewpider clears both
Mudkip gaps
Damn
Hey

Get bowl'd Kermit
Wolfey’s Exeggutor team is really strong and super easy to pilot
I would highly recommend it
https://pokepast.es/d7d4c9a1458cb9ed I modified my miraidon team a bit. thoughts?
Why do you have ting Lu?
Also if you’re going supportive Hearthflame I’d suggest more bulk
I just want it to KO every rilaboom
…
Go swords dance then
Idt Hearthflame (if supportive) wants max attack
Btw since you’re specs yiu can go pulse on miraidon
So yiu can sit and chip down rilla
Plus like, bundle+Hearthflame beats most rilla
The average rilla is Tera fire so you pressure them not to Tera and yiu can redirect any grass attacks (glide) with follow me
I can give it a test with you if needed
You also do like 90% to it and icy wind+cudgel always kills
With a bulkier set
If you also need practice against rilla I’m around
For like an hour
cant wait for the clones to start rolling in
Technically more cuz I do not give a shit about my English class at all
true
Adding hearth also gives you a Zac answer
Zac can’t hit it very hard (without boosts)
also ting lu is there for calyrex shadow and double dark
I feel like incin is enough but ok
Idt ting Lu is bad just gotta be careful with miraidon as the focus
Do you want to run a match?

Yea

Ok, gimme a few minutes I’m getting food
aight
User?
DJCornyGaming
G1, do not forfeit
of course you got a double protect
Play out matches
It’s the best way to learn
You also get time to gain information
Also, play to win not to lose
im also just bad at making gameplans
hold on can i test something
Yea
can you just lead like your fastest pokemon and something random
Ok
with rilla in the back
I’ll lead Zac incin
its not anything move related
alright thats neat
def gonna help with terrain wars
Do you want to do another bo3?
sure ig
I’ll admit that protect was stupid lucky lol
But you gotta play to win
Take your outs
Sorry gotta do something
Sorry I met up with an old friend
Bruh I left my computer to get a haircut lmao
Got it
I fucking passed my test i studied for last second let’s goo
Congrats
100% too
Drago, wanna fight? I need someone to comment on my decision making lol.
Yeah
Sure
God I hate rillaboom and his stupid grassy terrain.
Luckily you won’t deal with it against me
Casual battles?
Can you play on showdown?
I think I can.
Alr, I don’t have my switch
Ok
Now I wish my water urshifu can switch tera types.
What a pain in the arse.
Again
I forgot it was ots for bo3
I'm not a online battler, but I do like to get ribbins on my pokemon. I would like to ask help. But I do not know which chat to ask in, for help.
Ggs
Nice thunderclap xD
I don’t think you played bad
You already knew I would try a priority move.
Yea, it was how you kill incin
I need more practice on piloting... I think....
Yea, the team isn’t bad
I expected to OHKO, but I think I did rain dance too late.
Hmmm, even in my switch games, for some reason I'm pretty conservative when bringing out bolt.
When do you decide to bring out bolt?
You have 5 special attackers
Bolt is also good into torn shifu and crown
I get to snarl basically for free
To drop the damage from crown
Allowing Prima to set up or my partners ti take hits
Prima is like Flutter, right?
Also a fairy type...
…
Sorry.. I think I'm wrong.
k, I’m not gonna compare it to flutter
Flutter can do calm mind stuff
However Primarina is bringing a really good typing into the meta for the format
For some reason, your primarina was pretty bulky.
Prima is good into, both shifus, pao, flutter, chi yu, incin, armarouge
Couldn't faint it even with less than half hp.
Gouging fire
Im also bulkier than a fluttermane
Poseidon (Primarina) (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Liquid Voice
Level: 64
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Fire
EVs: 212 HP / 164 Def / 52 SpA / 76 SpD / 4 Spe
Modest Nature
- Hyper Voice
- Moonblast
- Calm Mind
- Protect
At +1 spD I eat hits
And I mean EAT hits
Prima has paper defense so most of my evs are shoved there
Special defense allows it to take hits from lando i
Lefties let’s it gain recovery
And I (now) have a helping hand Mon to allow Prima to deal more damage without needing set up right away
So yea, my Prima is built very bulky
I was expecting that eforce to kill tbh
Anyway, looking back
Now I'm tempted to add primarina to my team...
No
You need ti build around it, pretty heavily
It is not easy to pilot
This twam is built around it, having tr for speed control, defiant gapdos as a snarl “counter”, ogerpon for redirect, bolt for damage reduction and a nuke button to other bolts, and incin for fo pressure and intimidate
Flutter mane AS A WHOLE is better than Prima since you can build it bulky like that and just win games with specs (fuck fluttermane)
However Prima set itself apart from it with a better defensive typing (imo), better bulk and rn better into the meta
Not that, shit
It’s good into the meta right now not better than flutter lol
A lot of thought was put into it too...
Yea, and it literally happened because someone said “Primarina has good synergy with Hearthflame”
Originally it was built around gapdos
But I can only get so far with it
And the 6th has changed a lot
I’ve tested dengo (which is a good variant if you want an alternative damage dealer), Archaludon (over bolt) and lando I, I’ve tested ting Lu, and I’ve tested rilla
Found dengo good but I needed a better answer to the double fo shit and Fari helps
Archaludon ended up just not being what I wanted and made mu into rain ass
Lando I, is not something I like piloting and it didn’t feel like it fit here
Ting Lu just, sucked lol
It didn’t fit at all and wasn’t really helping Primarina more than hindering it
And then rilla stacked too many weaknesses
For my liking
Here’s the type chart
No more than 2 overlapping weaknesses 
Although having 3 is fine, it’s not THAT big of a deal it’s just a personal thing
I care a lot about defensive synergy
ANYWAY
Dammit I couldn’t get the first game
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2024regf-2090431582 @crimson flume wanna look over this?
Watch a replay of a Pokémon battle between Dr4ydr4go1 and Prodigy12345! Format: [Gen 9] VGC 2024 Reg F; Date: Mar 27, 2024
This was game 2
Ok first turn
Dang someone just spammed hypnosis on both my mons...
You shouldn’t have let shifu take a thunderclap like that
i hate that gimmick
Infront of bolt ideally you don’t want shifu on the field
And u-turning causes you usually lose shifu
So there I would have hard switched into indeedee and probably rain danced
You weren’t ever killing my farigiraf with a double up
On that turn I think yiu go for just, removing Fari with surging strikes+rain dance and maybe Tera water
Or hard switch indeedee, tclap is a mind game
Otherwise I think you played fine
Bleakwind missing the amount of times it did was kinda sucky
Galarian Zapdos is only catchable in Swsh no?
I don't think I've seen that mon available in SV
Yea but it’s transferable
Just not catchable in sv
Although I think it should have been possible through the the legendary catching method
Just on the unova island
Thunderclap is like offensive detect... I think... it only works if the opponent makes an offensive move...
Damn forgot about that.
It’s like sucker punch
I feel like bolt was built to counter tornshifu lol
It was VERY dominant up until this reg
Is there a good counter to spam hypnosis?
The heck, it's like I couldn't even play.
Espathra with hypnosis lol
My mons fell asleep before they could even make a move.
Did you use tailwind?
Nah. Had no idea espathra can do hypnosis.
So that’s just more lack of knowledge then, no harm in that
Usually Esparatha is speed boost hypnosis shit
Mhmm
the actual fuck?

Watch a replay of a Pokémon battle between DJCornyGaming and angeldust420! Format: [Gen 3] Random Battle; Date: Mar 27, 2024
i played this against a friend of mine
i think i might just refer you as the Galarian Zapdos man now lol

Hallo

Wouldn’t it be Gapdos man
Ok
Oh, someone brought up Fari allows gapdos to just remove all the fo users besides hands
Yeah
So like, good luck leading incin and rilla into me now 
What if I lead Lando-I and Ogerpon-W
I’m gonna kill your ogerpon
Not if I Tera
If you Tera you waste resources
Gapdos eats 3 sludge bombs
So, an ogerpon just used a wood hammer on my rapid urshifu and my urshifu got OHKO-ed. What the actual fudge?
That happens
Wait sorry, 2
Was that crit rng?
252 SpA Life Orb Sheer Force Landorus Sludge Bomb vs. 108 HP / 4 SpD Zapdos-Galar: 87-103 (48.6 - 57.5%) -- 92.6% chance to 2HKO however I run snarl
That makes more sense
Also helping hand boosted BB ohkos it
Interesting
Probably not
108+ Atk Zapdos-Galar Helping Hand Brave Bird vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Landorus: 160-190 (97.5 - 115.8%) -- 87.5% chance to OHKO almost every time
I was winning, then a wood hammer.... just on shotted my urshifu. What the fricking hell lol.
Might as well bcuz I’m curious
I don’t run no bulk but it’s fine
108+ Atk Zapdos-Galar Helping Hand Brave Bird vs. 204 HP / 12 Def Tera-Water Ogerpon-Wellspring: 168-198 (92.8 - 109.3%) -- 56.3% chance to OHKO PFFF
Oh wow
How much
252 hp 44 def
Holy shit
I don’t run speed if your wondering
Not sure just used a set of pikalytics
Are you sure you want that?
It’s worked well for me so far
A whole benefit of lando is it’s faster than most of the meta game besides like, ogerpon and scarf stuff
And flutter, and pao
I know
Yeah
No 212 spa
Yep
It OHKO a lot, just really fun to use
I have not had the same experience with it
Different sets
Generally, for some reason when it comes to playing the game
Insert Chien-Pao squealing
yeah there is still no Terapagos so i resort to use Eevee
Generally just don’t like how lando works
Eevee? What have I missed
Idk what it is,
Ok, I do so I use it
I mean that’s uncalled for
Terapagos.
And that goes for all of the genies and the Therians for torn and enam
I don’t like gapdos design, it just looks odd to me
Just different design takes between us
Speaking of which I love the design of galarian moltres
yea, idk
I never got goltres to work for me
Wasn’t meant to be
oh, I have fighting dark psychic core and fire water grass core on the team now, interesting
I mean my favourite mons are sandslash, glaceon, cyndaquil, Escavalier and pangoro so like I get it
Fair
Hydra still my favorite, a9 second
Prima and gapdos are moving up because of comp
But third is Zac
(Yes I like zacian that much)
Hmm
Maybe it’s time to do another favorite picker (I am so bored and English homework fucking sucks)
What’s the homework on?
Essay shit
Fair enough
Good point
What is?
What DrayageDrago Gapdos guy said
Homework sucks because of an essay
I am saying what he said ok
What app do you use to make this? I feel like making one for my team lol
I ain’t coming at you
Dude
I have to write an essay on a short speech that’s 5 pages long
This one SUCKS
I knew it
I take a history degree, essays aren’t bad
Ok you’re used to them
I usually use marriland to look at my type matchups
Marriland?
Yeah
Marriland team builder
Never heard of it before...
I'll check it out.
Its pretty useful
It just means I know what I’m talking about
Fair enough
I know this isn’t a popular opinion but once I start writing essays are pretty fun
It’s the researching that can be boring for me
Is it just me or the sand team with excadrill tyranitar + okidogi isn't that good? There are 0 moves that counter water types and it struggles into rain, otherwise it does great
Without the tera types/moves
Nice
I don’t think I have ever used sand
That’s mean
Okidogi on sand seems weird
You’re gonna make me pick from my fucking core
I’m gonna pick it yea
Well I’m picking Zac but man some of these decision are hard lol
Aggrons my favourite from that group
I mean once you get to the end it’s only your favourites left
So of course it’s gonna be tough
Luke Hydra and a9 are SO close together when it comes to who I like
Anyway, I’ll be back when it’s done
i feel like i done that before and Greninja,Garchomp and Giratina are my top 3
Terapagos is No.4
I’m noticing a theme, they all start with the letter G.
I’m big smart
i might make a Video about How Bad is Greninja in VGC
cuz its my favoourite Pokemon but i am not gonna let my bias on him
that would be interesting
And no Pangoro is not my favourite mon
i feel like for me i would just trash about how Greninja fallen from Grace in Gen 9
and it can't keep up the Power Creep
I don’t think Pangoro ever kept up with power creep
too frail,no good setup moves despite being mediocre offense,Protean Sucks now,Battle Bond is Banned in VGC
It’s unlikely battle bond would even be particularly good anyway
if its gen 7 Battle Bond+Gen 9 stat boost,then we can talk
Gen 7 battle bond is alright but its only good in singles
It would almost never get to use its ability due to double targeting requiring lots of protection when other water types just outclass it
and Flutter Mane is strictly better than Greninja as Special Attacker
if Greninja starts as Ash Greninja,We Can talk consider its sp attack stat is Kyogre's but 3 point better
Cybetron has made a video on that team
Still weird to me
the entire Loyal 3 is weird
But it doesn’t so hypotheticals don’t really matter here
i just hope one day Legends ZA give Kalos Starter Mega Forms so they become relevant once again
I agree
It will probably be like Incineroar, Serperior and Ferligator for the starter options you get and the new mega forms
if Kalos starters did not get a Mega form i would just confused why
My predictions for the starters are: Tepig, Sobble and Chikorita
Look at the starters for the first legends game, that was the reason behind my logic
We saw it before
It’s new
i might bring out mine hold on
Nice list
ill be back with mine hold on
Then top 10 has changed, notably Prima and Bolt took over Gambit and I believe meow
All I can say is Urshifu is no where near top 10 for me
Me don’t like shifu, shifu makes me sad
i am so obsessed with Archaludon-
My list (pretend Zekrom is my favourite legend instead of ogerpon)
My god
That’s a lot
like its one of the best
mine
I forgot about that, and idt I’m gonna do that one cuz like 4 things will change on it
That’s the shiny list oops
My favourite shiny list
Basic isn’t bad
True
i mean compare to some other fans,i'm less basic than them but still
I do generally try not to do repeats
When I do these
So like, if there’s certain forms I only pick the one I like more
But that’s a personal thing
Like gen 6 I didn’t use megas cuz I thought it was kinda cheating
technically i should give gen5 normal slot to Cinccino cuz someone named her Cinccino as my name
That’s cool
Nice
its a shiny as well
Anyways i have to go, bye
Bruh the washing machine has been on 1 minute for like 5 minutes this is dogshit
F
see ya
I just want my clothes back
Cya
I want this lol
i need this boi
noice
i need to buy Terapagos Plushie so i can bring it in some tournaments for fun
same but with Terapagos
plus i think if you choose zacian as your restricted i think its better than mine restricted Mons
Dude
