mighty stump
#

It kinda is

#

I still prefer U-Turn overal

autumn vault
#

With scarf a priority move only helps to outspeed other pokemon and maybe the same species

charred saddle
#

i mean yeah, its a choice. i just dont think theres a lot of value in poison tera jab + scarf mon tbf.

theres that but yeah

molten oasis
#

Lando i lol

charred saddle
#

i dont think you can drop CC and sucker

#

but then like wicked too

autumn vault
#

who drops CC on urshifu? Nobody does

molten oasis
#

On a scarf set you can drop sucker

mighty stump
#

The only way I see it’s value is to just try and catch Flutter even then Tera Dark Wicked Blow 2HKOs anyways

charred saddle
#

and u turn is like pivot

mighty stump
#

I really disagree with dropping Priority on Scarfers

#

Tailwind is still very much a thing and the priority pressure is just good to have in general

charred saddle
#

and TR

#

sucker still goes through TR anyway

molten oasis
#

ig

autumn vault
#

Priority goes through Trick Room, not just sucker punch

charred saddle
#

thanks for clarifying and repeating mr ditto

molten oasis
#

I don’t personally click sucker or jet like ever so ig it’s a preference thing

mighty stump
#

I don’t disagree you’ll drop the priority move just be aware of your play after

molten oasis
#

On scarf mons

autumn vault
#

T-Clap and S-Punch are mind games in a nutshell

next stump
#

does Imprison affect what moves your ally pokemon can click? I've never used this move myself

mighty stump
#

Just opposing

#

Good luck in the GC, i forgot to register

next stump
#

So if I ran Imprison Flutter next to my Farigiraf, I can Imprison their Imprison but still set TR?

mighty stump
#

Lmao

molten oasis
#

I wasn’t doing gc anyway

autumn vault
#

I am doing GC

molten oasis
#

So good luck

charred saddle
#

gc still same reward?

autumn vault
#

It is my Sand team i will bring, me and my child excadrill must kick some ass that doubts sand

I di

#

it is funny

mighty stump
#

Too good

dull ibex
#

screw it ill be in vc I want to play a bit of vgc

autumn vault
#

Pikachu light ball hits super hard, blud has an Attack/SpA of legendaries at the cost of shit bulk, FO also helps

bold geode
#

@dull ibex can you open up VC more?

solid frigate
#

mm

#

candid plover
#

Y'all lied and failed me they dropped my rank 😭

solid frigate
#

I genuinely don't know since i never got SWSH

candid plover
#

I wanna hurt someone everytime a pokemon prolongs a battle by using protect

candid plover
#

I hate this stupid fire turtle

#

Torkoal

solid frigate
candid plover
#

BRO PLS

solid frigate
#

uhhh

candid plover
#

Ok nvm

solid frigate
#

?

candid plover
#

I was down to my last pokemon and if torkoal was faster than me I was cooked

solid frigate
candid plover
#

No

solid frigate
#

weird-

#

normally torkal is in trick room teams

mighty stump
#

Theyre doing Battle Tower

#

Lol

candid plover
#

Fighting Leon now 🙄 here he goes w that Charizard again

solid frigate
candid plover
#

He's as predictable as ever

solid frigate
#

i think thats Leon's Zard Moves

candid plover
#

He switches his pokemon w Charizard then gmaxs it

chrome knot
#

its almost like

#

it not supposed to be that hard

autumn vault
craggy plume
#

any sun teams that i can use in both SV and SwSh?

next stump
#

the format that's played in SV and SWSH is wildly different

solid frigate
#

i hate myself-

willow vault
#

Why?

solid frigate
#

Terapagos almost Clutched up but Urshifu has other plans

willow vault
#

Oh

solid frigate
#

i need 2 fresh start mochi to change Terapagos EVs yo br motr bulky and

#

Ogerpon to be more offensive

#

I need to make Terapagos Physicallyt Bulky

#

cuz fuck Urshifu man

compact harbor
#

Does anyone know any current pokemon i could use to build a team?

crimson flume
#

My promotional game to masters from ultra this season involved fighting a torkoal.

#

I was expecting him to lead with liligant torkoal for the after you + eruption spam.

#

But for some reason he didn't lol.

#

Raging Bolt Snarl + Tera Water Tera Blast Crown and that torkoal was a sitting duck.

crimson flume
#

I only learned how to counter h-liligant + torkoal because I got massacred by one before.

#

After you is literally a free turn without trick room.

#

I had no idea h-liligant can do that lmao.

#

Also Rain Dance (Tornadus) decreases the potency of fire attacks.

#

It's a great counter to torkoal.

crimson flume
#

What if someone spams you with hypnosis, putting all of your mons to sleep, thus taking away your ability to play the game because all of your mons went to daydreamland?

#

I still put up a fight, but it was too late. lol.

#

I hope someone uses that gimmick on me again. 😄

#

Hahahaha.

autumn vault
#

I raged happily at it

crimson flume
#

Im a copy ninja and an omnidroid 9000.

#

I love to copy people who've already been there and done that.

#

And if I lose matches, I try to find out what I could have done better and execute that the next time I face the same lineup.

solid frigate
#

lol

#

that is so true

crimson flume
#

Some of my wins are literally teams I lost to before.

#

And it feels good to win against the same team that crushed you mercilessly in the past.

autumn vault
#

A-Muk players are just people trash at the game and use luck to their side to win (Get clapped in masters noobs)

crimson flume
#

Worth it. ❤️

autumn vault
crimson flume
#

New York's Finest. Only the best.

solid frigate
#

lol

autumn vault
#

Anyways the GC is approaching

#

I plan to bring my sand team

crimson flume
#

Good luck, I wonder if we will end up battling together lol.

autumn vault
#

I used enough weezing regigigas

#

I am the SAND REGIGIGAS Lord after all

solid frigate
#

i might stick with the team i built before,but this time i swap Meowscarda with Raging Bolt Maybe

#

even tho Meowscarda is valueable for Triple Axel

polar canyon
#

Flamigo dozo teams are the peak of vgc brainrot

#

If you know what you're doing they're easy to beat

#

But still so boring

autumn vault
polar canyon
#

I stand by what I said

solid frigate

#

Even if it's a skilled player using it

solid frigate
autumn vault
#

Ok

polar canyon
solid frigate

#

Genuine question

#

I'm assuming there's a reason

solid frigate
#

For Longetvity sometimes

solid frigate
#

but i forgot that close combat exists

autumn vault
#

How did you forget about one of the best fighting moves ever?

solid frigate
polar canyon
#

If you're not using sash I'd use protean over instead of overgrow

#

Meows isn't living a lot of hits at 1/3 hp

solid frigate
#

unless if i am in trick room,i'm usually faster than most of them except scarff mons

polar canyon
#

You know what overgrow does right

solid frigate
#

ik,It boost grass attacks in 1/3

polar canyon
#

How often does it get to 1/3 alive

#

Overgrow works with sash

solid frigate
#

there is a reason i want to change to Bolt-

solid frigate
polar canyon
#

If you're not using sash you'll rarely benefit from overgrow

solid frigate
#

i already used Sash on Pelipper

polar canyon
#

You could make it a bulkier set

#

If you're that worried about bolt ohkoing it just use tera grass or ground

solid frigate
#

aight i am changing Meow to Bolt

polar canyon
#

As much as I like it it's sadly not that good

#

Well it's good

#

Just not for vgc currently

#

And probably ever again

solid frigate
balmy glen
#

how long do i have to lock in my GC team

polar canyon
#

Would rilla be a choice

solid frigate
balmy glen
#

what

#

i meant like do i have to lock it in an hour or so

solid frigate
balmy glen
#

i know that... im saying when are teams due

solid frigate
#

i literally did that mistake when i did not change Meow's Tera

solid frigate
balmy glen
#

either have 30 minutes or an hour and 30 minutes

solid frigate
#

1 hour and 30

#

plenty of time to do some work

bold geode
#

@chrome knot I have horrible news

#

I have run out of Pokemon materials

And therefore can not gamble for balls anymore

Life's a bitch

I got like

But all I got is a Scraggy material and fuckin Gimmighoul coins, which I shouldn't gamble away

If you run out of Pokemon Materials

Just Genocide more chansey

No I think Duraludon and children are the most valuable

I’ve been thinking about making a team for a while but I don’t know what I want to build

ebon hawk
#

guys im new to comp,i want to do a comp team in sv any help/tips?

polar canyon
#

Yo

polar canyon
polar canyon
#

Once you've read/watched about the basics you need to understand how it works in practice

ebon hawk
#

cuz i have one but i dont how i can use them

foggy lodge
polar canyon
foggy lodge
#

Why are the resoueces for competitive so expensive😭😭

ebon hawk
#

it doesnt let me use it in online battles

polar canyon
#

What's in the team?

#

It might have something banned like most legendaries

mighty stump
#

Duplicate items, Mythicals, certain Legendaries

polar canyon
#

Hi tofu

mighty stump
#

Restricted moves

foggy lodge
#

Hey something funny that i saw is that in reg F's rules Pecharunt appears as legal but it's clearly not usable lol

ebon hawk
#

krookodile mewscarada seblaye flamigo hatterene indeede

polar canyon
#

Must be the items

#

But

mighty stump
#

Wtf is a seblaye

#

Oh

#

Sableye

#

Oml

foggy lodge
#

Not related but why would you use that team

polar canyon
#

Sounds like you might wanna try one of the many documents and videos that introduce you to competitive

#

Because sadly using your favorites / what you beat the game with doesn't get you far

foggy lodge
#

I beated the game with Incineroararkeknine

ebon hawk
#

i sens u vid rq

polar canyon
#

Oh is it anger point costar

mighty stump
#

I think you’re watching a very outdated YT video

foggy lodge
#

It's not updated that team

#

Is a series A team

polar canyon
#

And a meme one

ebon hawk
#

where can i send u vid?

polar canyon
#

You don't have to

foggy lodge
#

I mean it was good but because BO1 closed teamsheet in ladder

polar canyon
#

I think we can tell what the team is about

ebon hawk
polar canyon
#

Meowscarada flower trick on defensive tera anger point krookodile

foggy lodge
#

The team even fell because it became popular and people just, knew how to beat it

polar canyon
#

Costar flamigo copies the boost

ebon hawk
#

well ok i need to search a team

#

where can i?

foggy lodge
#

Search a balanced team

polar canyon
#

Make sure it's for regulation F

#

The current ruleset

foggy lodge
#

Probably Paonite

#

Paonite is good for novice players

polar canyon
#

Pao entei now

foggy lodge
#

It's more a Paonite Entei team but yeah

#

I have one if you want me to share the code

polar canyon
#

Unrelated but here's a team I'm enjoying using

#

Works well enough in 1500-1550 showdown

mighty stump
#

Jumpluff has wasted EVs and you don’t need Heavy Slam if you’re going +2

polar canyon
#

Just the item on wake that I could change

#

I meant to put 4 on spatk jumpluff

#

That's my bad

ebon hawk
#

js a thing how do i understand how to play the team?

foggy lodge
#

Playing the team

#

Or searching youtube videos about how to play it

#

Even with that there is not a way of saying how to exactly play the team

polar canyon
#

In short you take advantage of chien pao lowering the defense of opponents to hit them with both of your pokemon

#

But if you don't know, you probably need guides

foggy lodge
#

It's not like anyone can tell like yeah do this and then do this and you win

mighty stump
#

Well

#

There are

#

You just have to pay them

#

Lmaooo

foggy lodge
#

I think it's better knowing like, the role of each Pokémon in the team

polar canyon
#

I think tofus blog explains everything pretty nicely

#

Are they even still here

livid vine
#

Just ran into a Blaze Incineroar with no Fire moves on ladder. Tera Grass Safety Goggles too. Can someone help me from dying of laughter?

timber falcon
#

i hope it was all a mistke

#

in fact wth kind of moveset was it running with no flare blitz? PikaLmao

solid frigate
crimson flume
#

I brought a Dark Lauriat Incineroar once with EV spreads meant for tera raids only.

#

I ended up winning.

#

And yes, bringing that Incineroar was an accident.

#

Not sure how I won that match in masters with a tera raid EV spread but, ok. lol.

acoustic cloak
#

Element of surprise.

#

People assume you'll do something, and plan based on that.

crimson flume
#

And that incin was switched in last.

acoustic cloak
#

So when things don't pan out as expected, they tend to completely fall apart.

crimson flume
#

So yeah, my opponent was probably caught off guard.

#

Cause my dark lauriat instantly killed the final mon.

acoustic cloak
#

That's how rigid and formulaic the meta is now.

solid frigate
crimson flume
#

Is the global competition best of 3 and ots?

#

Or is it like ladder bo1?

#

I registered and it's my first time.

next stump
#

ladder bo1

acoustic cloak
#

I'll admit surprise is how I catch a lot of opponents off guard with my Hisuian Electrode.

#

Also reminds me of my Gen 4 and Gen 5 Wigglytuff.

#

That was an Anti-Lead set.

#

Copycat/Counter/Magic Coat/Snatch.

solid frigate
#

damn

acoustic cloak
#

It's Wigglytuff, so people just wrote it off and did their usual plans.

#

Machamp with the Scarf No Guard? Focus Sash + Counter.

#

Scizor with Swords Dance? Snatched.

#

Stealth Rock? Magic Coat. Now you have the rocks.

solid frigate
#

oh boi

acoustic cloak
#

My favorite situation was a Ferrothorn that tried to set up Rocks and Spikes.

#

I bounced both back at him, bounced his second attempt at Rocks, and then he went for the frustrated Gyro Ball, which Counter KO'd.

solid frigate
#

lol

acoustic cloak
#

Wouldn't work today.

#

But it was a fun time.

#

I miss Gen 4.

mighty stump
#

Beat Up/Justified isn’t any less lethal on OTS/CTS

acoustic cloak
#

It isn't any less lethal, but they will see it coming now. I think that's the difference.

#

Because they will see that you chosen Justified instead of whatever the normal Ability of choice would be.

#

It also eliminates most of the already niche use cases for stuff like Frisk, Anticipation, and other niche info gathering Abilities.

feral shale
#

Anyone down to play Scarlet/Violet doubles?

next stump
#

playing a current top 5 player in the GC and their team is wild lol

#

will report back with any weird techs

summer shore
#

Prolly eruption typh and arboliva is a specific check for some things?

candid plover
#

Is torrent a good ability?

lofty tartan
#

Dillon didn't report back so I assume it wasn't weird enough arkeknine

lofty tartan
cyan smelt
#

they really screwed swampert over with abilities, torrent and damp

candid plover
#

My primarina has it, idk if I wanna change it to sparkling aria but I think torrent sounds better?

lofty tartan
#

Liquid Voice, you mean?

And Torrent/Blaze/OVergrow/Swarm are all exceptionally mid

#

Torrent is an ability, Liquid Voice is a hidden ability, Sparkling Aria is a signature move for Primarina (and it's also not good)

candid plover
#

So either way it doesn't matter?

lofty tartan
#

Liquid Voice is better than Torrent - turns all sound-based moves into Water moves. Don't use Torrent.

candid plover
#

Alright thank you

lofty tartan
#

Primarina has access to Hyper Voice, so with Liquid Voice it becomes a strong water spread move.

And no worries GengHeart

im mad at myself I made another stupid as hell play

#

two dumb plays oh my god

dull ibex

#

is the GC limited to only 15 battles or is it 15 battles per day?

dull ibex
#

really wish I could practice on showdown 😔

molten oasis
dull ibex
#

its wolfe's team

molten oasis
#

ok, get your own evs

#

or figure them out

azure ether
dull ibex
#

the team no longer is wolfe's team if I use my spreads

molten oasis
#

waht the fuck else am i supposed to say

dull ibex
#

Don't say anything at all at that point LMAO

molten oasis
#

"heres wolfey's evs, which i dont have"

molten oasis
dull ibex
#

Im just sad I can't use it on showdown lmao

molten oasis
#

you could, if you just used other ev spreads, its still the same 6

dull ibex
#

Maybe ill find that super boring team tofu mentioend and play

molten oasis
#

and theres no way for you to get them anyway

dull ibex
molten oasis
#

what

#

moves change the mons a lot more than the evs

#

the evs matter plenty yes but the moves and tera's matter more overall

dull ibex
#

no they dont

#

all matter equally, unless its all 252 252 4

molten oasis
#

sure, whatever

dull ibex
#

lmao

molten oasis
#

no point in arguing

#

im always fucking wrong

dull ibex
#

in this case yes you are

molten oasis
#

no red

#

its literaly EVERY FUCKING TIME I SAY ANYTHING in your eyes im wrong

#

doesnt matter what

#

i am wrong

dull ibex
#

you make wrong statements sometimes, there has been plenty of times i've told you I was wrong

#

don't pull that bullshit with me please

molten oasis
#

not really

dull ibex
#

also im usually right

molten oasis
#

i do not remember a single time you said you were wrong from ANY point i make

dull ibex
#

especially in this case where alot of the team has specific calcs and use cases

#

its just not the same team without the spreads

molten oasis
dull ibex
#

even if i was wrong what is the point of being woah is me over a fucking pokemon argumemt

#

you make it impossible to talk to you

molten oasis
#

cool

dull ibex
#

like get over it jesus fucking christ

molten oasis
#

cool

dull ibex
#

anyways shell balance that was the team

#

I dont remember the six, I could probably ask the other discord im in

#

I found it!

dull ibex
#

LMAO apparently showdown has it in sample teams

molten oasis
#

I’m about to break and im barely keeping it together

molten oasis
#

I’ll try to be better about lashing out

dull ibex
#

I hope you get better at that

molten oasis
#

No I will be better about lashing out

#

School is stressing me out

#

I won’t say anything more

dull ibex
#

🫡

molten oasis
#

Team looks solid hope it works out

dull ibex
#

me too

#

im watching wolfe's video in the mean team

molten oasis
#

That’s good

dull ibex
#

ye

elder bridge
#

What is a strategy that beats porygon 2, amoongus, incin and rapid urshifu

molten oasis
#

Not sure lol

#

But you probably want to try and prevent trick room

#

A goggles and/or grass Mon helps for incin

#

Wellspring is solid into shifu, you can also run raging bolt

#

P2 is generally just very bulky, id try ti mitigate its damage with snarl or parting shot so that it’s just a sitting duck on the field

cyan smelt
#

Anything with taunt shuts down p2 and amoonguss

molten oasis
#

Raging bolt, goggles incin or ogerpon (hearth or wellspring) sounds decent into that

#

I haven’t played into it much so I’m not sure what to use

dull ibex
#

that video is incredible btw

#

wolfey is such a GOOD player

acoustic cloak
#

He is a great resource. He's been in the game almost as long as I have, but has been far more successful. He's got such a good grasp of Pokemon and the meta game. He really knows his stuff.

#

Definitely makes great content too.

#

Very charismatic.

Does anyone know where I can ask for help with my team? I’d just like someone to tell me what I can improve with

mighty stump
#

This would be the place

graceful walrus
#

Oh okay cool

#

Would chi yu, metagross, primarina, meowscarada, polywrath and landorus T be a good team?

#

It’s got great coverage

lofty tartan
#

Though I can say Poliwrath just isn't that good right now, and neither is Meowscarada

charred saddle
#

itd be easier to take a look at the team if we can see the EV spreads, IV, and items

#

and so, pokepaste is generally better for this.

#

you can just make your team in pokemon showdown teambuilder, then import the team to pokepaste

#

click upload to pokepaste below, and jjust copypaste the link

#

like so

gentle cragBOT

#

Urshifu rapid strike>>> Poliwrath

#

Chi-Yu doesn't have many good partners so it doesn't has too much value on the team

polar canyon
#

It's not only about coverage

foggy lodge
#

Meowscarada could be good but, still there are better grass types, but it can work

polar canyon
#

You kinda wanna look at having offensive pressure while maintaining a balanced defense

#

Some of those are pretty offensive

#

Like chi yu and meowscarada

#

But by themselves they don't do way too much

#

Yk

#

That's where the team synergy comes in

foggy lodge
#

Yeah

#

That's why i don't think Chi-Yu doesn't do too much on the team, it's 4 physical attackers and Primarina, and Primarina is slow so it's hard to take too much advantage of the beads of ruin

#

The coverage is good so i think it's better going for a balance team

molten oasis
#

And don’t run play rough

#

You have tools ti handle dragons

#

(Strong neutrals)

#

Once again I don’t like houndstone but you should be wisping the grass types (rilla wellspring)

foggy lodge
#

I think Lycanroc or Excadrill would be better for a sand team

#

And i don't know how much is the Ursaluna BM + Farigiraf doing

#

Also leftovers Raging Bolt should always run protect

#

It's like a rule that it's not a rule, but every Pokémon who runs leftovers should have protect

molten oasis
#

Bolt wants tclap tbolt dpulse protect and calm mind at the same time in this case, so I kinda understand dropping protect for tbolt

solid frigate
#

what did i miss

foggy lodge
#

Let's try to build a Dipplin team

solid frigate
foggy lodge
#

Yes

molten oasis
#

Especially over Hydrapple

foggy lodge
#

I just opened youtube and found a Dipplin guide from like 7 months ago

#

And i don't think it's thaaaaat bad

molten oasis
#

Just use Hydrapple, it’s a lot better

#

In terms of Dipplin and Hydrapple that is

solid frigate
#

i mean its extremely Bulky With Eviolite,but Incineroar exists

#

and Knock off

foggy lodge
#

Anyways is gonna be 5 meta Pokémon+ Dipplin

molten oasis
#

What are you doing with it exactly

#

Cuz generally, I’m telling you just to use Hydrapple

solid frigate
#

i think Maxi want to do something similar to Wolfey, being funni

molten oasis
#

It gets all the same moves, along with fickle beam

#

It’s defense is way higher

#

I think

chrome knot

but he wants to be quirky and different!!

molten oasis

Higher hp my bad

I’m not gonna stress this that much

foggy lodge
molten oasis
#

Hydrapple is MUCH better

foggy lodge
#

Let's gooo

molten oasis
#

Where’s ogerpon

#

If you’re gonna run Dragon cheer gimmicks you should run ogerpon

#

And you want Tera fairy or steel

And again HYDRAPPLE IS BETTER

foggy lodge
#

Forgot the tera lol, but it was tera fairy dipplin

#

I would just use it on ranked bo1 closed teamsheet

#

But yeah Hydrapple would be better

solid frigate
#

ok did Kyogre just use Drizzle on my area-

molten oasis
#

There’s also a whopping 1 thing benefiting from syrupsweet

#

Use Hydra give it regenerator

foggy lodge
#

Iron Bundle would be good on it replacing Urshifu?

upbeat quail
#

Bitter blade on ceruledge is so busted lol

molten oasis
#

Iron bundle is mid

foggy lodge
#

Ok let's see if i can make Hydrapple work

molten oasis
#

You need to surround it with meta mons cuz it does not do very good

foggy lodge
#

Now is more of a niche Pokémon

solid frigate

Like Regieleki

Hydrapple @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Regenerator
Level: 50
Tera Type: Fairy
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD
Quiet Nature
IVs: 0 Atk

  • Fickle Beam
  • Pollen Puff
  • Yawn
  • Protect
#

Nah bundle is mid it is not glue lol

upbeat quail
#

No 90 base power move should recover health

foggy lodge
#

Does it learn something like nasty plot or calm mind?

molten oasis
#

Don’t do nasty plot

foggy lodge
#

Buuu

molten oasis
#

Don’t

#

I played with Hydrapple for a month

#

Yawn is it’s best set

foggy lodge
#

It's like an Amoonguss with a 160 base power move

molten oasis
#

Sure yea

#

Tera fairy is for single strike

#

Yiu can also run steel as it covers for its weaknesses

#

The set I sent is what I got working after a lot of work

solid frigate
molten oasis
#

Unfortunately Hydrapple isn’t very good because of it’s typing being such a detriment to it

solid frigate
#

still tho its either gonna be Dragon Claw Power or Gigaton Hammer Base Power

molten oasis
#

Cuz it has everything else

molten oasis
#

Is still valuable

foggy lodge
#

At least it's lucky that it was introduced in the gen where you can change your type

#

But still with that it's not very good

#

You don't want to tera a specific mon 90% of the times you bring it to a match

molten oasis
#

Yea it sucks

#

Really unfortunate for it

#

Torrent did you ever finish that terapagos team

solid frigate
molten oasis
#

I don’t remember it

solid frigate
molten oasis
#

Right

#

Yiu never put shifu on it?

#

I thought that was something we decided on

solid frigate
#

i decided not cuz its not tanky enough to survive special attackers running around in restricted

molten oasis
#

cough not miraidon

#

K well, bo3?

solid frigate
molten oasis
#

User?

solid frigate
#

yes i made this acc before i fully into VGC

stray badger
#

I'm working on my Hisuian Goodra team and already have a base Goodra team, I'm still thinking about what I'll make the rest of my teams around, probably Dragonite at least

foggy lodge
stray badger
#

Maushold, Sinistcha, Inciniroar, Alolan Ninetales, Anniahlape

autumn vault
stray badger
#

Base Goodra is Whimsicott, Gholdengo, Rilaboom, Inciniroar, and Kingambit

Incineroar and Terapagos are so good

molten oasis
#

Can we go again

solid frigate
molten oasis
#

Nothing one shots terapagos

solid frigate
autumn vault
#

Lets be thankful that terapagos doesn't get iron defense, otherwise with CM its a wall and wall breaker

molten oasis
#

molten oasis
#

oh it does

#

At +1

#

Can we go again

solid frigate
#

sure

stray badger
#

Unfortunately I didn't realize that I needed to teach it acid armor before evolving for no good reason

foggy lodge
#

It does not learn acid armor after evolving?

stray badger
#

Nope :)

#

Can't relearn it, can't TM it, can't mirror herb it, just out of luck

foggy lodge
#

No mirror herb breeding?

#

Brooo

stray badger
#

Shell armor completely replaces it

foggy lodge
#

That's a bitch

stray badger
#

It's not that important, it's just a little more PP for the move, but it's still dumb

foggy lodge
#

Nah then don't worry

stray badger
#

The problem is still just the Maushold and Sinistcha since my comp teams are all shiny and they have rare forms

foggy lodge
#

I remember that if you made your Crocalor forget/ not learn yawn it could not relearn it once evolved and now it can

stray badger
#

I hope they change how Shell Armor works and give H-Goodra acid armor, since that's the only reason it can't learn it

molten oasis

I'm slow sorry

Terapagos is so annoying, you having torn is also really annoying

dull ibex
#

Is there a good shell balance rental?

solid frigate
#

oh yeah the tornadus you promised (Make sure to add fresh start Mochi

molten oasis
#

Can’t today, I’m literally busy all day

solid frigate
#

oh

molten oasis
#

Like I can do things on my phone

autumn vault
#

I just ran into a psyspam team with indeedeedee setting it up with a move

molten oasis

But I won’t have access to my switch today

solid frigate

I’m generally very surprised you didn’t expect a wood hammer t1

solid frigate

I have no reason to fake out there lol

As you’re covert cloak torn

solid frigate

solid frigate

Moonblast is the best option but still-

solid frigate
molten oasis
#

And sunny day

solid frigate
#

tho if its double Restricted i might make Tornadus not use Sunny day or Keep sunny day but not using Kyogre

molten oasis
#

I’m Tera dragon on Zac for all the ogers and then taking like, specs miraidon things

stray badger
solid frigate
#

i was not expect Tera Dragon

stray badger
#

Maushold has a horrible shiny to spot and I got punked twice trying to hunt authentic Poltchageist outbreaks

#

The outbreak was authentic, the shiny was not

molten oasis
solid frigate
#

you learn something new everyday

molten oasis
#

Also g1 you didn’t need to Tera

#

You probably won not clicking Tera before I went for close combat

solid frigate
#

set 1 round 2 i actually think i lost cuz what happen last night

pearl wind
#

does a pokemon with adaptability lose their original stab once they tera or do i remember wrong (for example basculegion goes for tera water, gets 2.25x water multiplier now, loses ghost stab)? nyaWhat

solid frigate
molten oasis
#

We can go again if you want. The first bo3 I missplayed for sure, but clicking Tera is just, scary lol

solid frigate
#

just not extra stab

molten oasis
#

Infront of a terapagos

solid frigate
molten oasis
#

All good

next stump
#

how has everyone's GC run been going?

molten oasis
#

I didn’t do it. How’s your run?

next stump
#

I hard threw two of my matches but I ended day one 11-3 so I'm still pretty happy

#

I'm running a very cheese team

molten oasis
#

It’s the power band shifu team right?

next stump
#

yep hahahah

#

the main issue is tyranitar teams because I need to have Urshifu positioned next to Torkoal to deal with them, otherwise they're not easy at all

#

specs earth power does like 25% to Tyranitar it's gross how hard torkoal is walled

solid frigate
#

i feel like my team is gonna be Annoying like me irl

pearl wind
stray badger
#

Figuring out what teams I could make would be a lot easier if I could actually shiny hunt legendaries

#

The only non-locked game I have rn is BDSP

mighty stump
#

Just look at usage stats and go from there lol.

solid frigate
#

i think Shiny Hunters would have better answers

stray badger
#

Though my Sinistcha does have the uncommon mark, should I just go with that instead since it's actually noticeable?

molten oasis
#

Ttar teams can shine in gc

autumn vault
solid frigate
#

ttar is such underdog,like power creep is hindering it but somehow he is still rising
