is this why i am 9 for 21
You’re leaning WAY TO FAR into the rain aspect of the team
oh
agreed,One sun team is over for it
More like raging bolt
yea i lost to a sun team earlier
But yea, it’s not great
oh i gotta go ill be back
What do you, ok nvm then
My boi
I need to study deeper into pieces that help zacian to succeed
you got this man
now you need to find the half of the Team that works with it
bro what is this i just wanna ev train my raging bolt
https://pokepast.es/e6dc7d60b35b9a34, need some help on potentially switching Palkia for a different, more consistant restricted. I am happy to use rapid strike, to regain the lost water type.
very nice
Faster fo to stop incin, shifu should beat it, and it lets Zac set up
So I’ll probably continue to cook from there
I will help out here tho before that
So Palkia isn’t working out?
That’s hype
homestly everything else has been great, Palkia just either throws or does ok, no real great games.
drago
Yea
dragondeeznats
Bruh

namely something with better accuracy, I cant take so many misses anymore
also Zacian should Get Spirit Break 
It won’t hit very hard I regret to say
So like, I like play rough but god missing that move hurts
it hits pretty hard, has solid bulk. Dislike its speed tier and accuracy
at least you can nerf Calyrex Shadown,but idk
Water/Dragon
Pressure, Telepathy (Hidden)
90/120/100/150/120/100
680
Palkia-Origin
typings also good
Water/Dragon
Pressure, Telepathy (Hidden)
90/100/100/150/120/120
680
Palkia
Have you tried origin?
the funniest shit ive done with palkia is dragon cheer + spacial rend is guaranteed crit 
Just curious before replacing it
doesn;t help with accuracy unfortunately
Origin Feels weird to play
Oh so you have been cooking something
That is fair
i did, but its ass
a little, not an enormous amount
Show
no
Mk, so let’s just, I think the team would need a bit of a rework
I forget it's high crit rate
go for it
Yes
Show anyways
K, are there other restricted you’ve been eyeing?
Wow
I'm trying to help bro
Failures help to succeed, it’s learning
Still eyeing Zama
as long as its not calyrex, im all good
then promise me u wont ever comment a single shit about it 
Monke I was not talking to you lmao
same
not the stupid horse
tbf idk what im doing with it
or anything with comfey, that awful thing is in my nightmares
I’m not gonna do anything like that dw
Triage is just weird
I don't mind, set up I guess
is walking wake useable
ok i a back
https://pokepast.es/c147026ce4ab785d
i made a lot of variations that time, this is before i decided to stop since its going nowhere 
yes
yes
Honestly, ik monke just said this but zama doesn’t seem too bad with your hatred for comfey
Very, solid Mon, really strong sun Mon
im think maybe i could put rillaboom on the team?
its a circle of demon flowers, I refuse to look at that thing
Again that team needs to be reworked lol
alright, will have a look at zama
yea ik
with groudon looks like good coverage, gets flamethrower which is sun boosted
so i needa figure this out
So like, since you want to do Archa I’m assuming let’s start with Archa and torn and go from there
is zama idbp?
Yes, that’s zama’s thing
cool
i feel like my team is kinda towards Balance-
I FUCKING LOVE BULK UP GROUDON
I won't (I might constructive)
but how do you know your team is FO,Balance and Stall
it's so good into the caly-i matchup
no i dont wanna hear a single shit about it
I have no idea th zamazenta spread so if anyone has it can you share please and thanks
Ok what.
I don’t have one sorry
all good
I haven’t played it yet
you lead groudon, bulk up while they go passive and set up trick room
Archa wants the assault vest, torn wants covert cloak
immediately tera fire and slaughter them with +1 precipice
It lets Archa just be a bulky special attacker that’s constantly boosting and hard to remove
and clear amulet stops incin shenanigans
yea arch has assault
So like, you go from there to torn, torn wants covert cloak with bleakwind rain dance and tailwind rhen 1 of the following, icy wind taunt and protect
Cloak prevents fo which is very very prevalent rn
I really wanna try dusk mane because while solgaleo is better in almost every aspect it doesn't have any boosting moves, but it's so hard to make dusk mane work
can I see the spread? (Im a fellow groudon player)
From there scarf rapid strike urshifu works well
Then rillaboom with sitrus or miracle seed
Than lando I, strong special attacker and pairs well with rain with sandsear storm
it's literally just max hp max atk
perfect
i haven't actually optimized it yet
Not sure what to do for last, can you get that in a paste?
i will probably optimize it though now that i know this team is worth using
Ok since I’m able to I’m gonna go theory build
If I see a mienshao or riolu im removing it from the field immediately, coaching shit is so annoying
Ill take the zamazenta advice but Im gonna go test idea for a while, because I have no idea how to use zamazenta and whats good with it
um, ill stick with idbp
Both‼️
I know I meant ev spread wise, I had no clue
Have I mentioned how I think it's funny to pretend to defend something that's obviously not good or true
I'm role playing as stupid
Normally I'm only a bit stupid
Did you not see the suggestions I made earlier
uh maybe not lol i had to go afk
ok i have seen those now
Been afk a while then, not the first suggestions you've ignored.
The the last spot can be incineroar or fluttermane
reg F?
Yes
ye ye
what spread are people using for both raging bolt and urshifu-r for reg g?
Idk
but politoed
ok
no, i dont need it
You said the same thing bruh
why do you want politoed
Politoed is shit
bcuz i like politoed
naughty message
Wait wait necrozma has dragon dance
Yo no, chill
Thank you
dollarmonke has given 1 Gen Rep to agplays_
fair
Whatever, politoed isn’t good
I'm in the wrong?
I would not suggest running it
ok
It's true but you don't have to phrase it like that
Yeah Politoed is kinda crept now weirdly?
Incin or flutter are good here, ogerpon wellspring as well
Just pick from those
Raging bolt is also solid
is bulk up or swords dance better on groudon
I’ve seen more swords dance just cuz groudon doesn’t seem to need the defense boosts
i like ogerpon wellspring
Especially with the incin partner
Ok

time to play ladder
Araquanid?
im cooking
id suggest change the tera on torn then its ok ig?
ok what tera?
Torn wants more bulk seeing as it doesn’t hav prot
ok
And rilla definitely should have Hp investments there
i added araquanid due to its typing resisting caly ice
Oh ok that makes sense over wake
and because of its really decent bulk
it also would over lap with raging bolt and i didnt want two dragon types in a format with zacian
if u wanna do a bleakwind spam thing with torn, max speed spA is too much, but you do need some investment on it and steel tera
if not its usually a bulky spread
I say torn must have bulk if not sashed tbh
that depends on which team is it on 
i already put on a context if it is on a bleakwind spam
yea
Bleakwind spam needs prot no?
tera steel and some bulk
but most team rely on torn as in a util thing, as usually no bulk = ur easily getting wiped when setting up
i think yes, and thats why i don't spam Bleakwind-
^
feels like bleakwind spam doesnt really need protect
I mean it has no bulk
k i gave it prot and more bulk but i gtg
It’s gonna crumble so how u gonna be able to spam after tw
you just need a good MU when u are doing it, since most of the time ur clicking protect ur just wasting a TW turn
simple,Taunt,Unless safety Goggles
this 
I mean torn is a mon u wanna get rid off in the last few turns of tw no?
not really? if it stays long enough it can just set up another TW
I meant for the opponent
i mean that depends on the opposing side condition
if ur torn is a util thing and doesnt do a lot
?
then ye, but if u meant as in opponent, getting rid of it early isnt bad
potential taunt, bleakwind speed drop is annoying
Well what I’m trying to say is a torn with 0 bulk is gonna struggle to get a safe tw off
getting a tw is safe, but its usually dead after setting it.
i generally just bonk the torn slot and let it set TW, and set my own TW the next turn if i do have it
that way i stagger a turn of TW, then i can safely stall out turns
but ye generally want a bulk
noted
welp laddering went well, I need to sleep soon its like midnight, hit 1200 again. Zamazenta is really good, thanks for the help Drago!
just for fun
ok so I was playing online and I still won but this chi yu who was tera blast tera grass with no item plus 2 special attack into my tera fire groudon and i just died (the calc says I never die even to a crit)
+2 252+ SpA Beads of Ruin Tera-Grass Chi-Yu Tera Blast vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Tera-Fire Groudon on a critical hit: 166-196 (80.1 - 94.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
thats a Heavy no tier
understandibly
i want to use Dialga or Koraidon but idk
Koraidons very good
also now i see the list most of my used mons are at least close Blue-
I kinda want to use Dialga origin
Terapagos:Blue and little bit of Teal
Kyogre:Blue
Lunala:Purple
Miraidon:Purple
Yep Blue
go for it
3 of them are Blue versions Legendary
at least you have a Red Version Legendary
I only have Blue Version Legendaries
Terapagos,Kyogre,Lunala and Miraidon
I have 2 blue, 2 red
3 Blue and one DLC
worst of the 4?
Terapagos>Kyogre>Miraidon>Lunala
im suprised you have kyogre over miraidon rn but fair enough
probably because i used it when i want to try VGC 2016
and i prefer Kyogre over Groudon
I prefer Groudon
and Miraidon i am not very good at Terrains
Don’t dis trick room, it’s epic
i just not good with it
Tailwind is mostly my better play,Trick Room is the worst for me cuz idk how to play Well
Balance as well i think for my team
Don't sleep on my boy or girl lunala
Whatever it is
My creature
Groudon>
rahhhh i love groudon
Does anyone have the Full Spreads for the EUIC Masters winning team?
lets goooo 
gz
28W 6L my best record
very good performance
indeed, i think with this score ima put the team into the "yeah it works" for bo1 and try bo3 next
wide guard mindgames bouta be insane
Question, this a good Mega Zard X moveset?
I want to prepare just in case Legends ZA has competitive Mon and proper battling.
._.
idk if worrying about a format that doesn't even exist nor even confirmed is ideal
Your absolutely right but my brain won’t stop thinking about it until I make a decision unfortunately
Screw it just the nature then
Jolly or Adamant?
there's natdex format if you wanna play around with megas
Oh
I mean it’s going gonna
Only mainline games have official competitions
Anyways about the set, don’t u want some bulk?
When you transfer pokemon from arceus are there ivs random? Or are they based off of arceus ivs (idk if the games use different stats)
If held by a Charizard, this item allows it to Mega Evolve in battle.
They don’t change, but you can’t seem them in arceus

Such as any of the starter hisui final evolutions
Oh how to make the ivs perfect?
Well the only way is to transfer it to SV if u wanna use bottle caps
U can’t tamper with ivs in Legends Arceus
Unironically does anyone around here have an Alcremie spread 👉 👈
Anyone got a good lugia team?
What a great nap (5 pm to 2 am)

Was making a team and then just knocked out
zacian again or with a different restricted?
i dont even know
idk what i need to do with zacian rn or building with any restricted
this is si new for me and idk how to handle it
expect nothing out of me, im done
gm
im litereally done this game sucks
cant do shit anymore, building or playing
i'm stressed on the format
so im done, i cant do anything, i feel incapable of any kind of success
with anything i play
ummmm...
id really like you to convinve me otherwise
ok finally a Kyurem black team i see
you literally have better results than me
cuz i literally played 10 games and lost all of them
yesterday i played like 20 and lost 15
is it all from Play Rough misses?
NO
its from this team having a bad mu into every single thing i fight
caly ice? oh you lose cuz of their tera
groudon? oh you lose cuz of their tera
koradion? oh you lose cuz of their tera
I think its because bad optimization
if you are that stressed just take a break from Compeitive
ok and come back to the same format unable to do anything?
the way i play literally doesnt work in this format
there are more resources after like a month
you NEED speed control i feel like you NEED wide guard you NEED a counter to both caly's
does not feel like "play better" for me its just "get lucky and hope you didnt get absolutely rolled"
all of the teams
and i mean, ALL of the teams ive build according to everyone seem fine then i go play them and they feel bad
every single fucking one
I have speed Control,and thats it.
Its Calyrex's Partner Indeedee what makes it fustrating
im not playing zacian, thats it
"top 10" my ass
why is EVERYTHING I TRY FOR IT FEEL TERRIBLE
i'll make you feel better
I lost to a Zacian Team,Its not really about you playing bad,its just the Competition for Zacian just too Much after the nerf
ok so that guy has more success going for him, thats awesome
its not because of that who is gonna have the success,I'm literally a shadow of what Tofu's Success
and you know what,I'm fine with it.
I lose to Calyrex Teams multiple times,and i know its BS,if not Indeedee or Mienshao helping it.
Some Pokemon have partners more obvious than Others
zacian has restricted partners
there are hardly partners for it otherwise
Heck i don't even know Terapagos's Partners up until i used Chi Yu
My team barely count as a good team
its better than the 15+ zacian teams ive built
you sure? i never cracked 1200+
My team Barely has Bulk
no Calyrex Counters
well maybe Chi Yu and Terapagos but Chi Yu died so quickly
but this team solidified on what i am gonna use
You think people who also Play Zacian does know their own path yet? its only the 9th day that Reg G exists
who is playing with zacian
all you need to win is to play the horses

that right,try to figure things out
https://pokepast.es/bf018943bf8456b8 these 5 i think are really solid

i think u saw the palkia and sceptile back then but this was like the end result of fuck around
and then im like "yeah its not going to work"
i opened it saw sceptile and closed the tab on my laptop
HAHAHHA
i changed a lot of things and then it became worse by the minute
and then "fuck this shit"
Doesnt sound bad to me

idk why they didnt tera the zacian tho 
and yes its a dumb set, just funny
That’s an interesting Tera , how testing been with it?
played 4 games with it, 4-0 currently.
only tried lando twice
one is this, and one more against groudon so i just spammed grass knot
and yes grass knot for groudon
isnt life orb just better
LO is in metagross
oh i see
youre not
ik drago 
the kitchen is in flames
fuck 
oh the funniest shit too is
since like most ogerpons are like 188 jolly
"why the hell should i go timid then " 
either i set TW or get outsped anyway
and so its modest HAHHA
lol
and also, if theres like waterpon i dont think ill bring it anyway
fair'
thanks for the suggestion of zamazenta @molten oasis, its really good.
crephace has given 1 Gen Rep to drayagedrago
fair enough, still using zacian?
the whole issue with shifu being its best friend is being unable to remove groudon and koradin post tera
because of sun
true
anyone wanna bo3?
so to counteract that we add torn with rain dance
smart
OTOT sure
ok LunalaTotorules
fair enough, i scrolled twitter until I found someone who used zamazenta and used their 6 mons
they didn't have the sets shown so just the pokemon were copied
sounds very solid, good luck with the bo3
gg
no it wasnt
it was
you 4-0ed me
wait i did?
yes
oh i didnt see my other mons
yeah mb
can we go again?
what a great mu
gg
rng is a savior or curse
its a curse
btw is that shifu max max
no its just max speed
oh ok cause i thought grassy glide would OHKO
it doesnt
again?
im trying to figure this mu out, ive fought it a few times on ladder
sure
What’s the matchup?
lunala chi-yu
lunala chi yu
Ah ok
ok so incin is a problem
rain dfance torn
gg
gg
true
true meteor beam is what i rely on
i should come up with new leads for things like that
you arent getting scarf btw
ok
or mystic ill decide later
but then again dark shifu is a very nice endgame finisher so i might keep the team the same except find a way for my incin/torn MU
if you want sash id just keep single strike
yeah
my team is rly good against it
Raging bolt is really good is your aren’t already using it
could do that
after that match im left unsure if the team works all that well
true i guess, but 2-0 isnt something i wanna take from an MU i knew was coming
yeah but uts that MU man
i cant do anything abt it and i might see it when going against the high ladder ppl
ok
maybe ill just kill incin t1 or smth with meteor beam and power gem
welp ima do some battles so practice some more
:/
slither wing yay
i lost
I swear on all that’s holy, if I have to play against Smeargle + muk again I’m gonna lose my mind, it’s not hard to win against but it just takes so long to win each game
its lame
It really is
friking bulldoze gouging fire screwed me up
its a really stupid and annoying strategy
then he flare blitzed and finished lunala with korai
oof
He probably thinks that team is gonna win worlds
it was actually rly good for cts
that’s why he thinks it is gonna win worlds. (The child doesn’t know the difference between closed and open team sheets )
Damn
feels bad man
What else was on the team?
caly
im losing to stall eternatus wtf
ice, and the bitch was body press
Oof
no way i got toxic stalled in friking doubles
lul
Is it similar to how dondozo was paired with ting-lu before? Stupid + other stupid equals pain
never happening again
This is when you run taunt
complaining good
Mostly what this chat has become tbh
Gotta expect it. If it can miss it will
I nearly lost thanks to my rock slide missing both opponents at the same time, i barely won that 1-0
lycopoky has given 1 Gen Rep to otot8953
free rep hehe
Not the a accidental rep
Can you please rep when we mean it to a human
Hey thanks for making me depressed (not really)
Retired staff
cornyplays has given 1 Gen Rep to lycopoky
I retired
Why does it matter?
The takes he saw were so shit he turned into a retired mod
What takes
My Palkia takes probably didn’t help
around here i think is when the takes happened
It's a mix of somewhat poor attitudes, a lot of misinformation/poor approaches, and then becoming kinda an echo-chamber
Oh that
Afnan Bezos did not help with the takes
Engaging with him was also not a good idea, yet it continued
apparently you can skill swap inteped sword
Yeah that was terrible enough, I couldn’t bother reading it
ill send the replay
Ok
Afnan Bezos is a troll, ignore him
Lets block him
i think we found the zacian team that works, so far
Interesting
So you finally got a good Zacian team
I haven't played any matches yet with my zekrom team, but you're team looks like it can manage calyrex ice much better
i almost forgot
I've put foul play on my grimmsnarl to deal with caly ice

Oh nice you switched out the Ogerpon
oh and a benefit of zacian's typing, it checks all the teras of caly-s is except normal, which behemoth blade rolls through anyway
so, thats good
true
Congrats on finding success with Zacian, after all of that effort you deserve it
That’s so smart from the indeedee, that’s mad
Not like you needed intrepid sword
It only activates once per battle
no but like, that still caught me off guard
Useful for the indeedee though
The reverse intrepid sword was also very good
Why did they skill swap intrepid sword back onto rillaboom lol dumb
For rillaboom
To get psychic terrain back up
And that is also useful
not that it mattered zacian at neutral ohkos tera dark caly s

Which one are you before I watch the replay?
Ok
Really cool rayquaza team
youre not assault vest as you said 1/8th chance

He said Timid
Why run rayquaza and waste your restricted when you can just do dragonite and zacian
Because Dragonite doesn't let me KO Groudon in Sun with Urshifu-RS

I think it’s 12.5%

what is that bulk for?
This lives a T-clap right?
Thunderclap, Moonblast, Wild Charge
from specs?
seems like a very bulky urshifu set
no not specs lolo
oh really? oh got it
I use another bulky urshifu but it is trained to tank a T-Clap and not specs moonblast and wild charge
I thought it was 212hp + 132spd
I used to use a bulky one, offensive urshifu is really nice
im considering grass tera although i have tools to handle amoonguss so im probably fine
gonna go taunt over icy wind
Also the username @molten oasis is me rn, also grass/fire tera is nice on urshifu
Surging strikes can handle ground and rock, fire handles the grass types and burns
Good to know you are doing good rn
at 3 am i wasnt
But who is fine at 3 AM? No one at all, atleast in 3 AM
If you can manage those, then bolt is fine
torn shifu handles don
zacian shifu rilla handles caly, i say all 3 cuz ive seen a mix of fire and water tera
Ok
Well i will go have lunch soon, after that i have to practice against Ice-Horse with an Onion mounting it
oh i got paid today, time to spend $50 on more cards
maybe
gonna go check out a hobby shop i passed by the other day on my way to work
anyway time to close discord and work on homework

low elo is legit the worst pokemon youll ever watch what was that
the thing is,the set feels normal,Calm Mind Bolt,Tera Fire Rilla,
meanwhile me who go out of my mind using Chi Yu for no reason

its the plays looks weird,why he did not Fake out,is he anticipating a Protect?
no every turn was just awful

ik
https://pokepast.es/0a3f30e7e0a9ca3f
Lunala V2
Yes i use weird stuff
Wasted bolt so hard
F on their side
4 evs wasted on gallade, glim, deedee and gambit
Also deedee with no follow me is bold
i get it i suck,i don't know trick room BS
Trick room is hard to master, I recommend using the hard hitting mons first to see what it’s about
i keep looking and it keeps getting worse pls do not use iron defence body press on heatran
Like for a bit I used caly-ice and got a pretty good observation on how tr works and ways to stop it
Also use regular sets
trust me,the first version,is even worse.
trust me i dont want to see it
The T-Clap spam was hell
If ur looking for sets for mons that aren’t really meta I do recommend having a look at pikalytics btw
You have hot garbage sets
yes ik this is the second time i heard this

ok Emma we know you are good you can stop dissing me
just wanna know what ur thinking
I would have protected ngl
And spam bleakwind
If it teras i can go with tera stellar starstorm and wipe it out
at this point you make me feel worse
sorry but you are sending replays to be watched
True, also you wasted that tera basically, if i went to the offensive with tera i would use tera starstorm and murder the koraidon before it gets really annoying
Still great damage onto rillaboom, or tailwind and starstorm

Still played a bit poorly
That’s why araquanid is my goat 💪
ok somehow because of the Sp attack drops now my Bolt has Def boost
Who’s using that? Why Heatran is your going to use that’s strat?
Its talking about me
Why?
cuz Idk i am bad at the game?
But like why not kommo-o? There are other better choices
I am stupid and afraid of Flutter
anyways gonna go to dental
I am playing a Bo3 and my opponent's gholdengo is spamming D-Gleam 💀

if i use CC on terapagos stellar is it super effective?
yes
after like 13 games i have succesfully risen by 4 elo
also it’s not to know I can hit terapagos hard, that things been giving me trouble
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2024regg-2099558424 Finally i won against a Calyrex Ice team

I also played against another team with Zamazenta, i also won that and Landorus-Incarnate is staying just because of zamazenta
Congrats on getting 4 elo, it is a terribly small amount but you still won more than you lost (and it is BS that it took you that long to get 4 elo)
its not
i fell off and went up and back and fourth
my Win rate dropped a bit too
I played 38 matches, won 22 lost 16
57.2% win rate
You are unfortunate, i take this back
thats what im usually at
inconsistensy is key 
i think that u should calc amoongus to be slower than caly in tr
it helps a bit
cause u couldve pollen puffed it and had an easier W
but overall gz for beating one of the annoying restricteds
It is 27 IV's which is 48 speed, Calyrex ice's speed can only be at worst 49 speed
oh ok

Ok not gonna lie this illumise pairs super well on a sun team with Groudon and Venusaur. Tailwind and Encore speak for themselves, D-Gleam for chip damage, and sweet scent helps the accuracy of sleep powder and precipice blades
At least you passed 50%,I am in 48%
Illumise is not ideal, but it’s fun
whimsicott?
why not just that
best girl
🤝
yes i am refering it as a female cuz yes
btw why not just max max
Whimsicott doesn’t get sweet scent.

idk it seems like whimiscott still the better mon
It probably is in the majority of cases yeah.
whimsicott feels better cuz its fast
Yeah true, but illumise fills a better role on my team personally, just thought I’d post a fun set.
Does wide guard block sweet scent?

i am talking about Gleam
yep and yes i show the whim i used in Reg F
cause sash is useless if u cant stop FO
depends,i mostly use Dark
Gotcha gotcha. Well if anyone wide guards a d gleam from my illumise then props to them lol
it is definitely interesting and looks like it can work just fine on the right team
It’s a good feeling to hit every sleep powder and precipice blades
whats the full team?
what makes Whim have a bit of an help against other prankster mons like Tornadus,Because its the fastest Prankster User
Seems like Ray is chien pow's new best friend.
raypao actually works?
Yea lol
i got screwed by it
I've just beaten it, but sd is scary.
i mean what is your team against it
meteor beam lunala 
It can be annoying for all the groudon teams
Fellow Meteor beam user
looks good, but how do you activate venasuar and illuminise together?
and if that dont work, tera fairy dgleam finishes
What do you mean by activate?
Me when I see a groudon team without walking wake
🙁
Yep thats me
nvm im guessing u tw if theyre your leads
Got this prepared in game
yooo shiny groudon
looks good
Yep! And the chlorophyll boost can help venu win against TW speed creep
Thx, its a bit tricky against trickroom calyrex ursaluna teams tho
i still have to get my hands on lunala by doing BBQ, and ill steal my brothers switch for chi-yu
very nice
Chi Yu user 🤝
da goat fish
this is an absolutely massive problem lmao
your MU into that is very important
Well all teams have bad mus. Calyrex ice teams aren't the only teams goinf around rn.
And its not like u can't beat it, you just gotta play really well.
they definitely are ones u need to think about
some u need to watch out for more than others
i think that both calys are the top legs rn
Against shadow caly its easier.
Mainly Ice wind and raging bolt
yeah makes sense
and mirai imo
idk i havent seen much of it suprisingly, maybe im just lucky but the consistent legs i see are the calys and terapagos. but hey its just my estimate
Bundle miraidon is pretty strong yea
maybe i just have a good MU for it then
Double dragon
imagine not using araquanid the goat
tera fire wake also araquanid on sun?
If u want a wide guard user why not just run mienshao at that point
I’m cooking so hard that its on a sun team
glazing
I'm honestly considering mienshao on my sun team, and valiant on my miraidon team.
People will not stop spamming calyrex
People will use whats good
Did not suggest otherwise
You love Whimsicott because she is adorable and reliable
I love whimsicott because i used it in gen 5 and i love anti-meta pokemon (whim atm)
We are not the same
Yo
Remember when whimsicott would run kings rock + fling
For a free post first turn fake out
What if I did that
What's the reason why people stopped doing it?
One time flinch
went mark hunting for a cool incin mark for this weekend and I think this'll do c:
Sick
Shiny?
nah I went for all non shiny mons but in matching apriballs for this team
I did find a rando shiny litten while doin this tho
so like dis too
Me who likes anti Meta Mons:
(Except Archaludon and Bolt they are different)
Oooooo beast ball
That is so fitting
Any tips for shiny hunting amoongus?
swsh raid rng lmao
im doing one for ruby bc she wants a 0spe one so ill lyk when I get it
mines in a master ball
Moon ball obviously
you can isolate amoongus (or foongus rather) in the bamboo forest, theres also a google doc in the pins in #shiny_hunters where you can see what you can isolate and with what sandwich type
thanks a bunch
otot8953 has given 1 Gen Rep to .alyz.
idk why i didnt think of this, it fits the theme but then again dream ball looks good with it and kinda fits the theme
i did my amogu in
i like the ball animation
I prefer to copy colours, got myself a Rilla in a friend ball and Incin in sports 
My ogerpon is in a friend ball
🤝
I’ll have to shiny hunt a rilla finally, and get a new Tornadus
And then, yea I just need to re-ev shifu
🟦 Make a normal team with a meta restricted legend
🟥 Make another Dumbass team with Zekrom
Me:
You guesses it, another team with Zekrom again
When are we gonna get Nils’s rental team? Buddy made that shit look easy🤣
mines in a love ball
be brave enough to make it urself lmao
I’m not gonna guess his EVs for everything lol
i mean ive done a pretty good job with it and im bringing it to orlando lmao
just lots of testing and math work
lol
Favorite sight this format
252+ Atk Mewtwo-Mega-X Close Combat vs. 156 HP / 100 Def Tera Shell Terapagos-Terastal: 63-75 (33.1 - 39.4%) -- 99.9% chance to 3HKO
252+ Atk Mewtwo-Mega-X Close Combat vs. 156 HP / 100 Def Terapagos-Stellar: 254-300 (99.6 - 117.6%) -- 93.8% chance to OHKO
I'm sorry,did i did the calcs wrong-
nice yeah
wonder what other ones that aren't in sv could do
megas would be cool but I think itd be too much to think of
i am just curious on it
If it was still in the game, this would be useful
then again,Mewtwo would at least can compete against Calyrex,but very steeply
True
also i did the calcs with the primals and Mega ray against Terapagos, and holy shit He Tanks
252+ Atk Life Orb Rayquaza-Mega Dragon Ascent vs. 156 HP / 100 Def Terapagos-Stellar: 157-187 (61.5 - 73.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252+ Atk Life Orb Rayquaza-Mega Dragon Ascent vs. 156 HP / 100 Def Tera Shell Terapagos-Terastal: 78-94 (41 - 49.4%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
Very solid
i give it Life orb but i can give t choice band if you want
I think band is overkill
It is better to have SD amulet then Band
What mon is this?
Do you have a fighting type?
Mega ray
252+ Atk Choice Band Rayquaza-Mega Dragon Ascent vs. 156 HP / 100 Def Terapagos-Stellar: 181-214 (70.9 - 83.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252+ Atk Choice Band Rayquaza-Mega Dragon Ascent vs. 156 HP / 100 Def Tera Shell Terapagos-Terastal: 90-107 (47.3 - 56.3%) -- 83.6% chance to 2HKO
^
Yes but I forgot that I have one
Gotta bring it
I think band is overkill as in too much burst power
Yeah that’s the problem
true
It does not need Mega Stone to mega Evolve
Oh?
only need Dragon Ascent
That’s cool
Ah
thats why Gen 6-7 most Restricted Teams Like Mega Rayquaza
Ok that sounds like you need to bring your shifu
if you saw a Terapagos on your team,Bring a Urshifu
Yeah I seem to forget I own mons for these things
FO+Close Combat=Terapagos Killing machine
just +1 is enough technically
