wahoo

molten oasis
#

im just going terapagos rn for reg g

surreal echo
#

not a bad choice

#

probably the only restricted that doesn't immediately die to caly-s

molten oasis
surreal echo
#

why tera dark on gholdengo?

molten oasis
#

caly

#

although im gonna go water

#

i forgot to change that

surreal echo
#

yeah i mean you have a ghost resist and ghost immunity

molten oasis
#

#

assuming it doesnt hard read me

surreal echo
molten oasis
#

it exists

surreal echo
#

hm

molten oasis
#

surreal echo
#

blizzard spam sounds scary

dawn crown
#

Does choice band work on urshifu rapid?

molten oasis
#

you could do that ig

surreal echo
molten oasis
#

scarf just seems better

surreal echo
#

urshifu already does stupid damage

dawn crown
#

I’m just thinking that it might be able to OHKO terapagos

mighty stump
#

Oh I can tell you it won’t

#

Not if Tera Shell is active

dawn crown
#

Oh wait they have same defense

molten oasis
#

ohkos terapagos without boosts lol

#

i am curious

#

oh

#

252+ Atk Choice Band Urshifu-Rapid Strike Close Combat vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Tera-Stellar Terapagos-Stellar: 312-368 (116.8 - 137.8%) -- guaranteed OHKO

#

so if it tera's yes

cyan smelt
#

Terapagos is so bulky

warped mason
#

anyone got a groudon walking wake team, that has answers to trick room calyrex ice teams?

#

I find i have alot of trouble in that matchup

cyan smelt
#

I'm gonna put recover on ho oh instead of tailwind and hope that t wave is enough speed control

#

So euic starts in like 2 hours right?

molten oasis
#

yep

mighty stump
knotty mirage
#

I have question can scarf chi yu outspeed caly shadow ?

pearl wind
#

yes

#

timid 252EVs caly-shadow hits 222 speed while scarf modest 252EVs Chi-Yu hits 228 speed

cyan smelt
#

eternatus seems very interesting

pearl wind
cyan smelt
#

and recover

mighty stump
#

Stall Eternatus is a very real concept

#

You know whats funny

#

Max Spe Adamant Urshifu speed creeps Timid Shadowrex

molten oasis
#

shaowrex is interesting

#

maybe i just run max speed shifu lol

#

with scarf

#

that seems very valuable

pearl wind
#

what moves would cosmic power eternatus run? other than cosmic power (+recover)?

cyan smelt
#

sludge bomb and idk what else it gets

Does anyone have any recommendations for a moveset for guzzlord for the battle royale in usum?

solid frigate

why-

tiny vapor
#

For battle royal

solid frigate
#

Bulky Guzzlord Maybe?Sorry i did not really play the AAAAAAAAAAAAAA Pokemon that much

autumn vault
#

i don't know anything about battle royale so i can't say for sure

tiny vapor
#

I just need it for bulk but I don’t know anything about competitive Pokémon lol

autumn vault
#

I think you should go 252 attack 252 hp 4 on special defense

#

And for movepool
Dragon claw
Crunch
Protect
Whatever you want idk

tiny vapor
#

Does assault vest stop me from being able to protect?

tiny vapor
#

Ah okay

autumn vault
#

With protect you can stall half of your turns and see the chaos between the other 3 opponents

#

The times you dont protect just finish off an opponent

tiny vapor
#

I’ve got a xurk as a main attacker rn, I think this guzzlord is mainly for not losing if xurk dies

#

But protect is a good idea, I’ll give it a shot

I just caught a 0 speed ting Lu. What’s the best build for it?

with Sitrus.

Also the team seems really pasive

I could replace Farigiraf but i don't know who to add

#

Kingambit?

autumn vault
#

not sure

bold geode
#

Replace P2

#

Imo

autumn vault
#

You don't need 3 tr setters

#

So i would replace Farigiraf

bold geode
#

Do like Flutter or whatever
Have a fast mode too

#

Nah Farigiraf good

atomic mural

Nahh this guy is so lucky

drowsy spear

Well that was a good comeback win

I’m gonna try it out

Grimm is incredibly good right now

#

Foul Play necessary

molten oasis
#

He has trick iron ball with foul play fake out trick and, uhhh

#

Parting shot?

Both Wolfe and MDB are 5-0

bold geode
mighty stump

It is

molten oasis
#

Cool

brazen bough
#

damn

molten oasis
#

OH I see how that works

bold geode
#

But imagine
On stream again
Wolfe vs MDB
I think they fought in a Limitless tournament once

molten oasis
#

So you pair it with incin, and for things that have CA you can intimidate

brazen bough
#

i love mdb

molten oasis
#

Cuz you steal it with trick

brazen bough
#

hes awesome

#

what is the new grimm set

molten oasis

Wait that’s sick

molten oasis

#

I don't really understand why Iron Ball unless its for TR stuff as well

brazen bough
mighty stump
#

Irregardless of speed

brazen bough
#

that could work perfectly on a kyogre team

mighty stump
#

or board state

molten oasis
#

Oh ok

bold geode
#

I like it

mighty stump
#

More like

#

Permanent Quash

#

Plus removing items which are great

molten oasis
#

clear amulet

bold geode

The hand of the Quash animation shoves you in the fucking earth like Tien did to Imperfect Cell with those Tri Beams

brazen bough

does kyogre use origin pulse

molten oasis
brazen bough
molten oasis

Sure

bold geode

Monke lol

Yes it runs origin pulse or it can hydro pump

Which is very likely

Just not on stream I saw

Unless that's spoilers then sorry 😞

AV is also solid too

autumn vault
#

https://pokepast.es/d8ca5f76f1abffe0 should i remove tornadus? I am having a bad time against Calyrex ice in tr and i need a consistent way of either killing the tr setters or killing calyrex ice rider consistently

Yh Rd6 just finishing

bold geode

Game 2 wasn't looking too good for Arash, but he pulled it out quite well

molten oasis
#

Rd 6 ended 7 hours later

#

After the stream started

tough idol
#

Clef and a burnt Ursh. I thought he was done

molten oasis
#

Rn I feel like I’m lacking offense on the team, so I’m gonna probably replace something to change that

#

Lost to kyogre a couple times. Tera+Fari is fucking annoying

#

and also I see why you all like lando so much lol

slow raft
molten oasis
#

Fari is also pretty annoying

autumn vault
molten oasis
#

Fr

#

Oh yea that was actually huge lol

autumn vault
#

Btw that bolt had a very bad spread

#

Dying immediately to an earth power is a sign of a bad spread

#

Your spread (and my version) survive it

mighty stump
#

Or it could not be AV

#

Who knows

autumn vault
#

You are right

#

Too late to know

upbeat quail
#

Anyone got any suggestions for a Ice-rider calyrex trick room team?

autumn vault
#

You need crazy amount of investment to survive it without +1 SpD or AV

upbeat quail
#

Also, I don’t have a zero speed calyrex, can it still work?

autumn vault
#

Also a 0 speed calyrex isn't too necessary

#

You are fine without a 0 speed calyrex

molten oasis

Dude I fight just got fucking 5 crits

mostly having both

autumn vault

Use snarl chi yu

i at least beat shadow rider

Snarl chi yu annihilates calyrex shadow

What are good counters to Calyrex ice?

Kingambit seems pretty good into it assuming it teras

solid frigate
autumn vault
#

I am using my koraidon team and it in trick room is so annoying

solid frigate
autumn vault
#

Yeah i have flutter and chi yu but they are useless in tr

solid frigate
#

my team Terapagos and Bolt are the slowest

#

and they are not good in trick room if i set up wind so thats why when i see trick room team i am scared as fu

autumn vault
#

The slowest pokemon in my team is probably venusaur without sun

#

With sun it would be torn

#

So you can tell i hate that MU

solid frigate
#

oh wait my slowest is incin-

solid frigate
molten oasis
#

And it would take over incin

#

Also caly ice just doesn’t like amoonguss

Cuz I make it go sleep

upload using showdown, it'll put all the details of your team

I did, it doesn't show EVs

make sure it's not (OTS) option

How do I uncheck that?

any water type?

why do you have a shelter goodra set but like

also where are the water types-\

you dont need one…?

grizzled bronze

tera water amoong /s

chrome knot

good to have fwg core but its not necessary

I could give Goodra a water move

Massive double protect

solid frigate
molten oasis
#

On stream

#

Literally that was his out he just won from there

#

Unless gouging protected

solid frigate
#

damn

molten oasis
#

Then maybe with swipe+gleam you take the game afterwards

#

Still really close

stray badger
#

Maybe I should remove Draco meteor with muddy water?

molten oasis

For what

stray badger
#

H-Goodra

Got what I wanted lol 😆

Heavy slam?

molten oasis

What is the team

next stump
#

@tough idol I have a shiny recluse grimmsnarl if you want to use it, I never have used it

grizzled bronze
#

isnt the standard hoodra set idbp heavy slam and protect?

molten oasis
#

Yes

tough idol
#

Shiny doesn't particularly bother me tbh. I just like having fun marks PikaLmao

molten oasis
#

You don’t have protect?

#

Why?

stray badger
#

I don't know what I'm doing, give suggestions

molten oasis
#

Also this team looks really really passive

grizzled bronze
#

yeah too many passive mons

stray badger
#

My only 2 requirements are Goodra and shiny

molten oasis
#

#

So that means shifu is completely off the table

#

not that shifu would be good here

#

And ogerpon

grizzled bronze
#

recommend starting with a hoodra rental imo

molten oasis
#

k

grizzled bronze
#

pretty sure there's at least one

molten oasis
#

Ursaluna over rilla

#

You need damage

#

Flame orb, 252hp 252 att 4spD brave is probably fine

#

0 speed on it

molten oasis
grizzled bronze
#

he can recreate it i guess

#

with shiny mons

molten oasis

#

I always decide on a team first and then catch the shinies, because they're super easy now. Barring shiny-locked stuff 🤷

bold geode
#

Wolfe might be on stream R9 now
Mfer 6-2

lofty tartan
#

Limiting yourself to what you have in your shiny box is really tough though.

grizzled bronze
#

very true

stray badger
#

Pikalytics doesn't give Tera types

grizzled bronze
#

munchstats does i think

molten oasis
lofty tartan
#

Pikalytics does, but you have to click a button. It's tracking from Switch

stray badger
#

It gives Ursaluna facade, protect, earthquake, and headlong rush

molten oasis
#

Also yea, you’re forcing yourself out of some of the best options

lofty tartan
#

Hit "Reg F Switch"

molten oasis
#

Shifu, ogerpon, bolt, etc

upbeat quail
#

Can someone help me build a team with Ice Rider Calyrex, Ting Lu, and gallade please?

molten oasis

Gallade is used on psyspam and psyspam only

#

Aight Wolfey at 6-2 right now (probably no stream match today for him)

stray badger
molten oasis
#

Protect over Draco on hoodra

grizzled bronze
#

do we really need 2 tr setter

molten oasis
#

Protect is pretty much required with lefties

grizzled bronze
#

make sure to adjust natures too

#

most of them are in neutral rn

chrome knot
#

r9 is always a 6-2 match

molten oasis
#

Is r9 the last round today?

chrome knot
#

yes

molten oasis
#

Cool

chrome knot
#

6 rounds tomorrow iirc

molten oasis
#

Damn

stray badger
#

Why did it default my natures?

#

I didn't even notice

lofty tartan
#

Also having only one makes your team a lot more linear. You have to bring that one mon to ensure your gameplan

molten oasis
#

Might as well have 2

lofty tartan
#

I definitely like utilizing either Indeedee or Farigiraf as a TR setter a lot more because they bring a lot more than just TR to the table

grizzled bronze
#

i see

stray badger
#

So Cresselia and Porygon2 are interchangeable depending on the other team?

lofty tartan
#

Yeah, or you can take two into a match if it makes sense, to extend TR if they're capable of stalling, or have different threats. Like Ursaluna functions a lot better next to Cress than P2 - P2 is serviceable but lacks distinct synergy there.

Different coverage options, different bulk, etc.

#

It's really match dependent for sure

stray badger
#

I'll probably figure it out.. eventually..

lofty tartan
#

I just think being able to stop priority with Indeedee/Farig is valuable in the meta, personally.

molten oasis
#

Yea

lofty tartan
#

And yeah, you'll figure it out. Building teams isn't just slam six pokemon down, they perform, and you're off to the races. Trial and error is a big thing

molten oasis
#

It makes kyogre very annoying to handle

lofty tartan
#

Yeah they pack a lot of support on their kits.

#

Farigiraf more offensive but very good

molten oasis
#

Fari stonks

stray badger
#

I would like to have a more long term team seeing as I'm shiny hunting them...

molten oasis
#

Teams change all the time

lofty tartan
#

Regardless of anything, this team has an expiration date of May 1st

#

Once Reg G kicks in, you're going to be at a disadvantage into Restricted mons.

no team is permanent

Teams do change all the time - shiny hunting is super easy now. Part of the fun is gathering the things and training them up, to some.

stray badger

Guess I just have to get the living dex GengarPout

molten oasis
#

I have a shiny Zac I’m very excited to go use in ladder

#

Cuz I’m finally getting it to function well

#

I went back to my roots with swords dance

foggy lodge
#

I have a Shiny Zygarde but it's not programmed 🙂

lofty tartan
#

Like if I have a shiny Kingambit built, and I want a different Kingambit set, I go hunt a new shiny and train that instead of undoing my resources spent on Kingambit #1. I've done this since Reg A

grizzled bronze
#

im excited and at the same time not for reg g

lofty tartan
#

Drago's seen part of my Competitive boxes.

molten oasis
#

Yea lmao

#

Lots of dupes

stray badger
#

At least I'll be able to shiny hunt the Brilliant Diamond legendaries soon

lofty tartan
#

I added Flutter #6 to the special boxes, Drago.

molten oasis
#

Lmao

I gotta filter out things that have fallen out of favor. I transferred a whole box of shiny legends from Sword last week BlobHyperSweats

#

Hunting a Ursaluna Bloodmoon 0 iv attack and 0 iv speed

molten oasis
#

I think gambit is under mid allegations rn

#

It’s struggling

lofty tartan
#

Yeah but I still like him into Caly-S for the most part.

molten oasis
#

Yea

#

It has positives

stray badger
#

I hope they add lazy training

molten oasis
#

What?

lofty tartan
#

They did. Vitamins.

#

Training a team takes like an hour or so.

stray badger
#

Train your pokemon to be lazy in a stat

lofty tartan
#

Ohhhhh. Uhhh technically you can

molten oasis
#

Wtf does that mean

stray badger
#

The opposite of hyper training

lofty tartan
#

I think he means like driving down IVs

molten oasis
#

So rusty bottle caps

lofty tartan
#

We do need "rusty" bottle caps.

#

Realistically they'd only ever get used on Attack and Speed though.

molten oasis
#

Still why I don’t run tr to this day lol

#

Getting 0 speed ivs SUCKS

lofty tartan
#

Ehhhh 0 Speed isn't always necessary.

#

I have a 4 speed BM Ursa and that's just fine 🤷

molten oasis
lofty tartan
#

Yeah that's why I said "isn't always"

molten oasis
#

Yea

lofty tartan
#

Sometimes it matters because people are being really specific about their speed values

#

And then you can like undercreep them lol

molten oasis
#

Max speed iv amoonguss with relaxed underspeeds caly 0 speed brave

lofty tartan
#

A lot of people just often think that their entire 6 absolutely requires 0 Speed IVs and it's a migraine waiting to happen

molten oasis
#

Yea true

lofty tartan
#

For some it's optimal, for others maybe not, I guess blobthonk

foggy lodge
stray badger
#

I just find the idea of training a pokemon to be "worse" is inherently funny

foggy lodge
#

Or even just reworking the bottle caps to let you adjust the ivs as you want

lofty tartan
#

I mean it's not worse. It's better because it acts faster in TR, which is the main objective of the team.

#

That's optimal. It's a choice of words 😄

foggy lodge
#

Pokémon like Tornadus run 20 ivs in speed sometimes

molten oasis
#

Why

stray badger
#

I mean it in terms like "who trains to be slower"

lofty tartan
#

Just give us a battle revolution simulator because training a team and playing VGC are inherently separate skill sets.

And I dunno about the 20 speed IVs with max speed opposing Torn and Whimiscott existing

foggy lodge
#

Idk, some Tornadus just run it

stray badger
#

Yeah in game it's better but you're making the stat worse

lofty tartan
#

Lower speed value just means you always eat the taunt.

molten oasis
#

Yep

lofty tartan
#

If people are running it, I can't imagine it's optimal. Take what others run with a grain of salt.

lofty tartan
stray badger
#

You train to make the IVs better, what would it be called if you made the IVs worse? Hyperlazing?

foggy lodge
lofty tartan
#

It seems small but a name conflict or confusion can actually be deal breakers for features if they can't be resolved.

grizzled bronze
#

some? who in particular

#

20 speed is weird when 31 is right there

lofty tartan
foggy lodge
#

Or like

#

Wolfey was running his Incineroar with 27 speed ivs

lofty tartan
#

Even the 0 speed investment Torns that I've run were 31 speed.

#

Incin =/= Torn.

#

There's reasons to stagger Incin's speed

grizzled bronze
foggy lodge
#

Yeah but i was talking about the need of a rusty cap or something like that, not saying that Torn 20 speed ivs is optimal

molten oasis
#

Slow parting shot is really good

#

But being faster with fo is also valuable

#

Pick your poison shrug

stray badger
#

With rusty bottle caps they could also add a new title, "[Pokemon] the once lazy"

grizzled bronze
#

so many incin sets you can run lmao

molten oasis
#

It’s a very good and flexible Mon

grizzled bronze

Any intimidate pokemon who can be good in reg G?

knotty mirage
#

Incin

grizzled bronze

incin lmao

foggy lodge
#

Obviously Inci but any other one?

grizzled bronze
#

i guess there's hitmontop too

Because i feel like Inci can just outclass any other Intimidate user in reg G

If both teams have a trick room would it just become a mind game of either gambling on your opponent setting it up for you, neither of you set it up, or you both try to set it up and it cancels out?

Ice Caly, Ting Lu, Farig, Incin, Amoonguss, and Alolan Ninetales?

gentle delta

If you wanna be spicy go scarf ninetails instead of light clay

#

Turn 1 Aurora Veil + TR, turn 2 switch to shroom or ting

upbeat quail
#

Ohh scarf is interesting. I was thinking covert cloak honestly. Getting faked out on turn 1 when trying to set veil is rough

molten oasis

I think a9 is so overkill for caly ice

#

It has insane bulk without snow+veil

gentle delta
molten oasis
#

why

upbeat quail
#

Why not capitalize on the bulkiness?

molten oasis
#

What’s the point

upbeat quail
#

That way they have to choose between focusing on Calyrex or trying to stop me from setting up snow/veil

molten oasis
#

You already do that with incin support

molten oasis

Thats why scarf

Then that’s a free trick room or glacial lance 🙂

Imo it is outdated

It can shine from time to time but the washing machine will go out of power for restricted formats

For legendary formats it is hardly viable

calced to always be slower in tr

its probably gonna tera fire infront of chi yu, and shifu, and lunala
