They should've included the aura trio, yveltal would at least check caly s
I need gen 10 to have the legends games freeze rework
It's just special move burn
Frostbite
Yveltal and Zygarde had to sacrifice to contain Xerneas
I don't want a Tera Fairy Dazzling gleam of Xerneas at +2
Gholdengo could tank it
But Yveltal would be healthier for the meta and it would have been a good chance to make Zygarde good
Also if xerneas was in I guess nobody would use flutter
Hydrogen bomb vs Hydrogen Bomb
Xerneas would take your restricted slot and mane wouldn't
Also xerneas being in the field would make flutters fairy moves stronger too right?
The thing is if those forms are going to be good in gen 10 or Legends Z-A's competitive
Everyone would've just run xerneas+ flutter
While this Pokemon is active, the power of Fairy-type moves used by active Pokemon is multiplied by 1.33.
I think they are afraif about making form from games like legends too broken
Why
To match dark aura and aura break
Why tf have I just lost to shadow ball farig
That sounds cool for caly s
It makes sense but it kills me so much
It's actually to check Caly-Shadow!!
Are you using caly s
Use it with chi yu it would be funny
I’m dropping it, generally can’t find fun in mons I don’t really like
And caly-s is one of em
How about zacian
Caly s and chi yu is broken
How about Groudon
Love the design top2 legend, but I wanna save him for later
I do have my eyes on eternatus
Poison/Dragon
Pressure
140/85/95/145/95/130
690
Eternatus-Eternamax
Mhm look at that
Also dondozo is still broken even in restricted format
The bulk. The offence. The speed
Really?
Yep
Just the classic tatsudozo?
Don't get your hopes up
Yep still annoying to take down
I know, it’s moveset is where things go downhill tbh
Assurance, Body Slam, Brutal Swing, Cross Poison, Dragon Tail, Facade, Fly, Giga Impact, Gunk Shot, Outrage, Payback, Poison Jab, Poison Tail, Take Down
Draco Meteor, Dragon Pulse, Dynamax Cannon, Eternabeam, Fire Blast, Fire Spin, Flamethrower, Flash Cannon, Hyper Beam, Meteor Beam, Mystical Fire, Round, Shadow Ball, Sludge Bomb, Sludge Wave, Snore, Solar Beam, Tera Blast, Venoshock
Agility, Confuse Ray, Cosmic Power, Dragon Dance, Endure, Gravity, Light Screen, Protect, Rain Dance, Recover, Reflect, Rest, Scary Face, Screech, Sleep Talk, Substitute, Sunny Day, Toxic, Toxic Spikes, Venom Drench

Honestly the moveset is so ass Oml
Idk 100 bp dragon move with no drawbacks
All you need is sludge bomb and flamethrower
But Is it’s spatck good enough to have no boosts
I doubt
Oh wait a min there’s meteor beam I forgot
Amoonguss fell off
@bold geode
It's probably it's hardest reg
Miraidon terrain, Caly-Ice, Ogerpon and Rillaboom already taking the grass type spot
I mean, did it struggle in swsh restricted?
People had to play Amoonguss with sash
Oh
It was so funny
Grass/Poison
Effect Spore, Regenerator (Hidden)
114/85/70/85/80/30
464
Sash in a Pokémon that has 114 HP
Even things like Indeedee ran focus sash in double restricted sw-sh
And i think Inci focus sash was also a popular set
That one makes sense
So it doesn't get OHK0'd by Zacian sacred sword
I thought cause of kyogre
Also that

How’s that one
This is very specific, but I need a 0/1iv Raging Bolt for a comp team. Does anyone have one I could trade for?
Showdown shouldn’t let u do that though
Yeah for some reason the 4 paradox legendary have 20 iv in every stat
I’m pretty sure in showdown they made a viable minimum for ogerpons ivs right?
It lets you, but when you create a Raging it always has 20 attack iv for example
Or one of em
Anyone know how to induce sleep on your own pokemon? (Without comatose) (Single battles)
Side spore?
Currently my gxe is 56.1% and I'm at 1458 for reg g, not bad, I think I'm improving
rest
omg im stupid tysm
devon_the_cool has given 1 Gen Rep to mlbd
Good job 
I thought it'd be worse, I used to be around 50%
All this while using ho oh and not caly or terapagos or miraidon like the cool kids
I think it helps that I'm no longer getting salty about losses either
How is @summer shore
Hi monkevgc

What are you working on for reg g
Yeah that’s pretty good
That’s the real grindset
Well done
I think I found the saddest calc known to men
Support Scream Tail's Focus Blast fails to KO Defog Kartana
I think single restricted is the perfect sweet spot
Double restricted is like, okay now your getting a bit crazy
Some of the non restricted legendaries feel like restricteds with their abilities
Raging bolt already almost has restricted level stats
Ogerpon with tera too
Ehhh
This is the progress https://pokepast.es/751b160de7db43b7
Why’s it have power herb
If it has power herb you need meteor beam
I forgot to change the item
Idk what item lunala has actually
Or i think i can just go for meteor beam power herb
I know it hits harder than god
In all other aspects tho I wouldn’t put it in restricted tier power level
Maybe like arcanine tier
Also you should try running lunala with comfey and rilla to replenish shadow shield
I doing a "themed" team but that's actually a good point to my standard Lunala set
Fairy
Flower Veil, Triage, Natural Cure (Hidden)
51/52/90/82/110/100
485
Floral healing heals more in grassy terrain
I'm so accostumed to PKMN unite's comfey that i always thought it would be super frail like in unite
Comfey is decently bulky
No idea what item comfey likes
Is there some kind of ability that powers you up the more of your opponent's pokemon have fainted? Or is it limited to your pokemon with supreme overlord?
It doesn't exist
Unless you count ultra beast/calyrex's abilities
But they don't work like supreme overlord
ok👍 thanks

Why does it has rain dance lol
That's probably an old Moveset, role play isn't in the game
because its crying over its dying teammates
Oh it does have rain dance wtf
How’s this team sound to yall? Groudon/Incineroar/Hisuian Lilligant/Flutter Mane/Walking Wake
Could use some help with iv spreads
https://twitter.com/lukathekuka_/status/1778591583295697227?s=46&t=fDxHQLlKCKU_ddfszOAZ6w
cool team that Luka was going to bring
Do we call that Florida balance lol
i got a whimsicott, arcanine, urshifu rs, amoongus, flutter mane and glimmora as my team, any tips? they're all competitively built with the meta abilities, movesets, and evs, i'm not getting much use out of amoongus so i wanna know what else i can use that'll synergize well
Reg f?
yup yup, playing on the ladder rn
Hmmmm instead of amoonguss you could try rilla maybe?
Something to deal with bolt too, maybe lando I?
was gonna get the trio soon in pla, definitely worth considering
I'd say ogerpon but then you'd have type overlap with rilla or urshifu
i was thinking that too, wanted to use him but decided against it
was thinking fire but h arcanine already fills that well
max speed incin is insane 
wait i didnt realize it but it was offensive incin? 
cc fo flareblitz CA hahaha
bruh i only have sobble and that bunny starter in shield 😭 is the pokemon home bonus still up?
Should be
should be, or alternative is, you trade for them
asking for a normal sobble and scorbunny isnt hard
let's go it is
and you can actually hunt them in dlc part 2
i think all starter available in SV are huntable now in dlc 2
can't wait to watch youtube while i grudgingly ev train this rilla
Do you have access to the swsh DLC? If so just buy discount vitamins from the dojo
i do, didn't realize you could do that
although it only takes like 20 minutes if you get a lucky mass outbreak and have braces
Yeah just ev train in swsh and transfer up
training attack and speed so i only gotta kill lechonks, whatever that bird pokemon is, flamigos, and tauroses
you said a normal landorus right?
yeah you can change form with the reveal glass
yeah if you have legendaries in your party or boxes you get the items for them at auction
terapagos is a monster holy shit
Good @summer shore
Thats good
Hey, im competing in Orlando regionals this weekend, its my first time and I was wondering if anyone had some advice for a team I built. any feedback would be super helpful
can you not find fake out in scarlet?
Its not a TM unfortunately
It is an egg move for him unfortunately
nah just mirror herb, have something with fake out in a picnic with rilla
have a spare moveslot on rilla
ya the mirror herb cheese is so helpful
oh shoot i'll just use my tinkaton then, thanks for the tip
mirror herb makes things so easy
Egg moves are so easy now thanks to it. GL with your rilla
does anyone else feel like iron leaves is underrated
No but id like to be proven wrong
What be
Am I allowed to send pictures in this chat?
Um yeah
Although Pokepaste would be preferable
i was also curious what the team was but i can't offer any advice, brand new to comp
I have pokepaste set
Ok
Currently stuck with kingambit, Hes kind of a placeholder for psyspam team countering. but while ive had decent success in practicing I feel like the team struggles in certain situations.

Will O Wisp on Torkoal I feel is eh, I'd go Protect
Other than that, looks alright to me
I originally had protect. but Ive found that torkoal doesnt often get targeted alot. I liked the extra option of will o wisp, but I was considering going back to protect
Oh shit yeah
It's also wasting EVs with Defense when you could go 4HP
its not even TR so i sont see any point to get it a bit low
LET'S GOOOO I GOT FAKE OUT
There was a reason for that that I honestly cant remember, but the HP sounds better tbh
Yeah
i mean if u did calc for it then go for it, just that i never saw that spread even once. so i was quite baffled
dont see any reason not to go max speed
I think it was to live one rilla wood hammer
252+ Atk Rillaboom Wood Hammer vs. 4 HP / 4 Def Walking Wake in Grassy Terrain: 153-180 (87.4 - 102.8%) -- 18.8% chance to OHKO
Yeah but like
8 EVs in a stat is wasting 4 EVs anyways cuz it's 4 for first stat then 8 EVs after that
Right
putting in a 1 def and 1 hp stat wont really help much anyway
My other issue is my reliance on bringing tornadus and torkoal to fights, since neither do much damage, torkoal can get fringe kills on fire weak mons but thats not usually a thing
Well it's a sun team so
Indeed it is
well, never really had a wake team before but
koal is good to play against tr teams
its a good deterant against them. but the thing is ur playing OTS
It was spur of the moment, but it is frequently the best attacker on the team, wake has surprised me on this team
not having eruption pressure is off for me, or at least heatwave
Well hes not likely to get much value out of eruption since thers no TR
Plus overheat gets the eject pack setup
I could go for heatwave though
well when ur up against psyspam u have literally nothing, maybe except gambit
but gambit itself wont be enough
Ya i know... thats what makes me most unsure of the team
personally not a fan of ejectpack
but if it works for you then go ahead, i dont play much eject pack overheat
Maybe I take out gambit for an incin, fake out might be helpful against certain teams
i mean its okay? just that its kinda wasteful, dk how to explain it
doesnt really resolve against psyspam team, idk how much u will meet, and arm doesnt always have power herb meteor beam tho
I see what you mean
hope u get something, take my words with grain of salt. i dont play much wake teams, im only stating opinions on what i think i will use against that team 
No I really appreciate the insight
oh yk whats ur worst MU? P2 tinglu
the team that alex gomez use, tinglu hurts ur entire special attackers
and tr is also annoying
Oooh thats a good point
you can still deal damage into them wit neutral tho, SE non tera but its like AV, and ability
wait and is that protect on specs mane?
also kinda wanted more bulk on flutter, but its preferance
Ive had alot of success so far with this spread. minus chien pao at times. what do you like on your mane?
lmao i use the same moveset on my flutter
usually my go to mane spread is like
modest 36 spA to hit first bump
dump on speed to hit speed tiers that i want (especially thinking on what my team doesnt want to meet)
rest dump on bulk
although i use 252 spa 252 spd 4 d
if its like doesnt have enough bulk, ill think about dropping modest into timid, then move some more speed into bulk, and put rest on spA
as i said, its preferance
people have different ways on making the EV spreads
Wow only 36 SpA huh? thats really interesting
36 modest is enough
Cant really go wrong there
its specs
not at all, thing's a sweeper
unless u wanna go big damage, then i will take off from speed not bulk
I might try that actually. maybe I was overthinking its SpA EVs
i dont like seeing my flutter die easily to some weird stuff
Ya that makes sense
one good checkpoint on a enough bulk is icicle crash from chienpao
That is huge
and like most bulk flutter have like crazy spread of 212 hp 100 def
i hate icicle crash with a passion
speed booster bulky mane had that
theres also a big popular one with 212 hp 84 def 36 spA rest on speed specs mane with tailwind support
and just clicking tera fairy dazzling gleam
but its like not seen much now since people kinda learn on how to maneuver around flutter, at least what i thought.
could be a different reason tho
Calcing that specific spread, icicle crash still runs just under 45% OHKO chance
Howver that becomes 25% with your 212/100 spread
252 Atk Sword of Ruin Chien-Pao Icicle Crash vs. 212 HP / 100 Def Flutter Mane: 126-148 (80.2 - 94.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
are you calcing adamant?
most chienpao runs jolly
they dont like being outsped by flutters
Oh right, ya it was adamant
if ur adamant ur very open to flutters
and sucker wont ever ohko it
70 bp and neutral non tera wont ko
My thing is this spread, assuming the 36 SpA and the rest in speed, it becomes speed proto and I was thinking I want SpA, or am I overthinking it again
its like if its adamant and has a chance to ohko, u get outsped anyway
well i kinda want the speed boost. u have the specs boost already
specs is 1.5x
But do I need it under TW?
adding another 30% is overkill
Well actually, I see where your going
just add 30% on speed on ur flutter if its in sun
oh wait actually its spA boosted
ill yoink some more oh def or hp a bit and put on speed
y oguys i got a question my raiku has liek some shapes under his description what do they mean??
252 Atk Sword of Ruin Chien-Pao Icicle Crash vs. 204 HP / 92 Def Flutter Mane: 127-150 (81.4 - 96.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Theyre for indicating perfect IVs usually.
hits 265 speed in sun
which is enough to outspeed some scarfed mons like urshifu
so lets say ots and its scarfed, now u can make a play with swapping in koal and tera gleam ohko
which i should thhink ohko? even with tera
It does easily on pao
nvm gleam doesnt get the ko, but moonblast does
again its just my preferance on building mane
usually i dont really care which spA or speed gets boosted since i dont play sun but i kinda feel u want a specs and speed boosted
or just have speed booster mane with taunt
Wait, my calc is saying it does
is it already 70% dmg? its a spread move
No wait youre right, but my calc says its a 50% ohko chance on the mystic water set which SpDef investmenet
thats without tera
Fighting/Water
Unseen Fist
100/130/100/63/60/97
550
Urshifu
60 
I know
But im wondering why your calc has it at 84-100 where mine says 91.8-109.2
Did I input something wrong?
The set im looking at is 60HP/20Def/196SpDef
and it says the chance to Ohko is higher than the one you sent
on urshifu?
iwhich calc did u use
The showdown one
never used the showdown calc before
just use that
its already inputting spread damage as 70% and not 100%
urs probably still at 100% spread
I dont see any differences other than the urshifu set
Well I ahve it set to doubles so it should count it as spread
no clue then
Because the damage goes up when I switch it to singles so Im sure its factoring that in
Regardless. That EV spread actually looks really good on mane, Im gonna do some testing with that
sure, goodluck
Thanks alot, youve been super helpful
Anybody knows good Anger Point Tauros Teams?
I used to play with this one (https://pokepast.es/d7c53e04915a1790) last year, but the format changed so much I feel it needs an update
The startegy is simple: Start with Froslass and Corvknight to use tailwind and icy wind. Later, aftee Froslass uses the focus sash and stays at 1hp, she uses Frost Breath to activate Tauros' Anger Point (switching from Corvknight), then use the x2 speed and x4 atk to spam Earthquake, with Corvknight and Dragonite replacing Froslass due being inmune to Earthquake
These kind of teams have effectively been powercrept out of the format so it’s kinda rough
Anyone wanna fight me in SV
guys how is this team https://pokepast.es/61105f6fed1c3457
Hello everyone
Tofu I'm semi interested in your koraidon balance
I'm more used to calm mind bolt so snarl will take some getting used
I mean its the same concept, you effectively already have a pseudo CM with AV + Sun boost
@autumn vault are you TOXI$ SLIMEY
yo guys i need help
i wanna put archelidon into my team but id kwho to replace this is my team https://pokepast.es/ea7303f13d77adb4
I fought an entire team with pressure, so, that was fun
And dark tera eternatus so I couldn't taunt it
Honestly tempted to just use stall myself
What’s a good support flutter set?
its 2 STAB with your choice of Icy Wind/Taunt/Thunder Wave
I think I need non prankster taunt
Which means putting booster back on flutter and replacing power gem with taunt
Twave flutter into shadow rider is great
Well TWave is meant for Clear Amulet users
Can't twave Groudon
good lord
it lowers more PP right?
Yeah and then the dusclops had spite
so basically a gimmick team
🤔
maybe I play more vgc and take a break from minecraft im a little angy lmao
You can't Icy Wind it either so whats your point
T wave sounds good for caly s and caly I ngl
in flutters case just ko
I need to make my flutter booster speed
hoi
Sup
got my power nap finally
How to people deal with tailwind caly-s
t-wave?
So would a support flutter on a groudon team run booster energy or something else? My sash is already taken up by my meinshao
Thinking about running fairy feather with Moonblast and dgleam
Pixie Plate/Fairy Feather
run a reducing damage berry so you can tank a astral from caly and bonk him
/j
Shadow Ball
Calyrex
Why?
I am not
Also i forgot to add, if i had to have a slime related term on my name it would be slimesy only
Not Slimey
Besides i really dont want to be toxic, if you know why you know
Just curious
btw ive gone to wolfes vid to try out his farig set
but the evs are over the max
is there somethingive missed?
27 Speed IVs iirc always underspeed Rillaboom and Incineroar and goes before they do in tr
i know that, but look at the evs
wait am i tripping, one sec
they add up to 584
pretty sure thats not supposed to be like that
You are not tripping at all sir
I ran it on a calculator and it gave me the answer 584
Yeah, so anywhere I can get the actual set?
Honestly idk
I hate both calys
Who doesn't?
one of these days ill make a team with calyrex. just regular calyrex and spectrier
and name the team, "Wheres my reign"
I hate both as well, mostly Ice
Man this chat is pretty empty ngl
Now i have to go build another Zekrom team that is better then the one i have
I need some sort of speed control to slow down caly
There is Tailwind, thunder wave, E-webs, I-Wind, trick lagging tail, etc.
ive just had someone use imprison farig on me
what did it do?
I havent played against it yet
it didnt work btw
it was OTS and none of my moves on the field were even the same lol
I think I need to make a new team without ho oh
https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/battle-gen9vgc2024regg-2101830419 here is the match btw
have u only touched ho-oh
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2024regg-2101830419 (not) overconfident player gets beaten
Watch a replay of a Pokémon battle between Luca_Panetto and lycopoky slimesy! Format: [Gen 9] VGC 2024 Reg G; Date: Apr 12, 2024
Yeah I don't have any idea how to team build
i mean it is the hardest part of compet
i misunderstood this
watching the game rn
Seems like all the gimmicky shit gets high up the ladder
fr man its annoying
Atleast it is innovative
Better than spamming mounted onions
lost to symbiosis clear am lunala, so after power herb meateor beam u cant even snarl
then spam pollen puff
I fought a minimise muk next to psych up tera fairy caly shadow
ok ive seen someone try that shit
Ok that is the worst innovation ever
With substitute
btw i do like that idea of pressure eternatus
The old legends are really disadvantaged because they don't have spread moves
Some calys are running shadow ball to deal with wide guard
yeah
I hate caly, worst pokemon
How did they decide that the aura trio would be too unbalanced but the calys are fine
Want to know something BullShit? In gen 9 Zacian Zamazenta Regieleki and Cresselia (for some reason) were nerfed, even ice rider calyrex was nerfed (Glacial lance BP from 130 -> 120 bp) but shadow rider was left untouched when it was the arguably the 2nd most dominant restricted in SwSh
Yveltal could at least check calys
Well it is weak to Glacial Lance and with tr and Farigiraf you cant sucker punch it, but atleast it could function like a calyrex counter
You could run foul play on yveltal
Now that Dmax and Yveltal were gone along with Zacian being the biggest competitor for the slot in SwSh being nerfed, those 2 became super busted
And most people are deciding to run caly s alongside chi yu
True and usually Ice Calyrex had 252+ attack so it would probably OHKO but i need to check the calcs
Chi-Yu was the biggest buff for Calyrex Shadow
Caly s gonna win worlds again
Pls zekrom win a tournament
(not happening
)
also i need to see lugia at a regional, then i can sleep for the rest of my life
True and by the time it officially comes out, we would have more counters then we have rn
Also the other legendaries have signature moves that can miss or have other drawbacks
yeah
No drawbacks for the calys signature moves
Amoonguss with 27 speed ivs has 48 speed, calyrex ice can only have 49 as it's lowest speed, AMOONGUSS RISING AGAIN!?!?
Pls no
I dont want another spore metagame
I guess Miraidon will help with it
Isn't that why they run indeedee next to caly I to redirect spore
True
And with clear amulet you can't even cycle intimidate
Can i say a Hot Take: Miraidon was overhyped, it is one of the best legends but not as good as we hyped it to be, also atleast we have a way out of intimidate cycling
https://pokepast.es/e74beca071ab3489 i got this so far for a new team idea
or am i burning down the kitchen
Does this mean caly shadow is the best restricted pokemon ?
Anybody here going to Orlando regionals?
I think so
Huh i guess we gonna see alot of wide guard on next reg then
i think emma is
@ emma brooks
Legend has it if you bring your copy of black or white there's a mysterious gift
oh are you going? 
oh nice! Good luck
Tyty
evs?
id need to see them to take a proper look
but the mons are looking really solid overall
I didn't calc anything but here they are https://pokepast.es/eb91e1a8afe48bf4
Wake is wasting 4 EVs and Flutter Mane's set looks inefficient
https://pokepast.es/34f9fed4ac644059 opinions?
Which EVs am I wasting? Plus what would you recommend for flutter?
You invested in 4 stats
At level 50 you're meant to invest in odd numbers of stats
Gotcha. I didn’t know that
And what are you trying to live with that Flutter set
It was just a flutter mane I had built in game. Still tweaking it a bit. It’s honestly the only mon on the team I’m not super confident with
I’ll take any recommendations though. It’s supposed to be a support set.
You can still use the general bulk Flutter with 116 HP/76 Def
Cool cool. What about the move set?
its up to you if you value Icy Wind or Taunt more or you don't care about Protect.
Yeah I think without a sash I probably wanna run protect
I don’t have any speed control without icy wind
But shadow ball would be really good against calyrex. Tough choice here
what do you do if youre trying to build a team, but nothing u wanna use comes to mind
ive been sittign here brainstorming but i just cant seem to pick something
Do something else
fair enough
Roll a 733 sided dice 6 times and make a team from that
Visionary
guys i need help
just come back,wha
Archaludon and ARCEUS????
or one of them
Wait how did you,ya know what give me the team
normally i would like Archaludon,But I think is not good for the team
And Arceus is strong but putting in this team feels off
ok
ohh
like i can shift other members a bit
i got a few other disposable pokemoin
you can make different Versions of it,the EVs needs some changes
Yeah,Like All of them
Pneuma (Terapagos-Terastal) @ Power Herb
Ability: Tera Shift
Tera Type: Stellar
EVs: 156 HP / 100 Def / 228 SpA / 4 SpD / 20 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 15 Atk
- Tera Starstorm
- Meteor Beam
- Calm Mind
- Protect
Terapagos Should have This
IVs don't need to change
honestly None
you can try this team before you use Arceus
https://pokepast.es/8b6396e0b449f34f
Same team but Proper EVs
ok
Ho-Oh has 4 evs left to add, i would add those to speed since it is uninvested and there is only 4 evs left
true
It was just a friendly reminder
Wait Urshifu's EVs
Urshifu-Rapid-Strike @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Unseen Fist
Tera Type: Steel
EVs: 44 HP / 252 Atk / 32 Def / 16 SpD / 164 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Surging Strikes
- Aqua Jet
- Close Combat
- U-turn
@vestal elk this is proper one
It is just a few, besides you can fill those on other spots
ok
yeah Urshifu missed 40 Evs so copy this
ok i saved it
dude btw u know a team i can build with the other 2
like a fully seperate team
Imagine playing urshifu
i need to think about it
ohh ok
Anyone have a reg G tier list
So I know what I shouldn’t probably touch and what can work
i made one before
Only top 4 are ranked from best to worst
Looks kind of what I’d say
Dusk Mane i am not sure about
Why is solgaleo bad?
Wine my picks are from “very good” tier ima choose groudon
Kyogre is “very good” imo
Pressured by Incin(Typing Wise) Lots of mon Kinda fullfilled his task
Zacian is still defacto Steel Legendary
With Koraidon and Groudon being Here... Ummmm
yo is arceus banned or to trash??
They don’t check it at all though
Kyogre in the same rank as DM/Kyu-W and Dialga is criminal
Banned
Typing wise
ohh dam
its a Mythical Pokemon,and yes if its Allowed then its gonna be wild
thank god its not in Galar when Mythicals are allowed
fair the typing is gonna ad confuse everyone
Kyogre also had countered by Ogerpon,Bolt,Miraidon and too lesser extent Bundle with Freeze Dry and Terapagos(Although terapagos is kinda odd for a COunter)
Which btw,Ogerpon and Bolt would be almost everywhere
These counters aren’t enough to stop its gameplay
But if you want it to be Very good then i'll put it in Bottom of Very Good
They’re good counters, but counters can also be countered
Much better
its still on the line of being Very Good and Good
Mmmm I think it has a pretty solid place as one of the top 10 legends
In which it’s 10th
So its kinda like Both Calyrex,Miraidon,Terapagos,Koraidon,Zacian,Groudon,Lunala,Zamazenta and Kyogre for top 10
Terapagos top 4 I'll take it
Not really viable looking for either Reg F or G
ok i'll let Tofu manage it
Rilla and Pelipper are good,But Thunderus Therian?
Use Archaludon,Trust me,Its very good with Pelipper
I'm thinking about it
Ceruledge does not work on a Rain Team,and if you hate Urshifu that much...
My skill is telling me zekrom is in the right place
My bias is telling me zekrom should be higher
I will trust both 50 50
I can't accept the truth that easily
lol
Is this for Orlando?
Yes
Weather ball for Pelipper
Oh dear
(:
Thanks man
I mean I could switch in archaludon, I'd just have to build it real quick
The Thundurus should be running volt switch too?
if its Incarnate Forme then its fine,but Therian feels...
Therian gets volt absorb
But it's using it as a special attacker
Electric/Flying
Volt Absorb
79/105/70/145/80/101
580
Thundurus
Archaludon is more flexible
Steel/Dragon
Stamina, Sturdy, Stalwart (Hidden)
90/105/130/125/65/85
600
60kg (80 BP)
2m
Generation 9
Duraludon
Mineral, Dragon
M: 50%, F: 50%
White
although Weaker in Offense,Its better in Tank
Is there a specific set you would recommend for rain?
Archaludon @ Assault Vest
Ability: Stamina
Level: 50
Tera Type: Grass/Fairy
EVs: 220 HP / 4 Def / 44 SpA / 180 SpD / 60 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Electro Shot
- Dragon Pulse/Draco Meteor
- Body Press
- Flash Cannon
i tried use Urshifu Rapid and Hit Archaludon with Surging strikes and Successfully removed Wellspring Ogerpon
the faces. its cursed as fuck
hmmmmm
Real
I threw together what you posted
what did they have done to Pokemon Go's Character's Face
EVs?
Same evs
lemme look at my Archaludon
Oa
good luck tomorrow
IVs?
ok good
Thinking about who to replace
I've spent a lot of time practicing with ceruledge and thundurus, and they've done well respectively
but Power Creep make Ceruledge looks bad,Thundurus Therian Feels weird to have when Archaludon is way beter
Electric/Flying
Volt Absorb
79/105/70/145/80/101
580
Thundurus
hmm yeah looks a bit difficult to utilise
unique team, ceruledge is nice to see. though i must ask, why 2 fire types on a rain team?
oh ok for intim i guess
Ye
ok was just curious about it
no protect, exper belt Harc, specs thundurus, and no wood hammer rilla?
ur a madman
heat crash and not a flareblitz too
holy moly what am i looking at
oh i didnt see the sets lol
Fire/Ghost
Flash Fire, Weak Armor (Hidden)
75/125/80/60/100/85
525
bulk up ceruledge is questionable
brining it is already questionable
I'm fighting the Winning Team with Articuno-
true.... but hey we can only see how the game goes tomr
from an overly positive perspective
https://pokepast.es/61be400d6584a6b9 i decided to settle with koraidon, any ideas on last 3 mons?
i do think cotton spore whim helps though
yeah i also see it more often
could it be interchange depend on the Metagame or smh
Fighting/Dragon
Orichalcum Pulse
100/135/115/85/100/135
670
Ground
Drought
100/150/140/100/90/90
670
Groudon-Primal
bang nyamuk peliharaan gw sekarat bang, gimana sembuhinnya
abused1 has given 1 Gen Rep to woodtofu
groudons stats do look vert nice
wtf is that
Put to sleep
Although it does not have Koraidon's BS Boosts,Its sitll nice to have
oh anjg kirain petshop
anjg
KAWKWOKWOWKA
Mau concept palkia tim lu gk
anyways\
bole, sambil meratapin jadwal kelas gw
like bro wtf is this, kelas ampe jam 4 tiap hari mokad gw
mampuz
this may be repetiton, but when making a new team do i focus on a plan or coverage first
Plan
ok
Plan
Koraidon @ Clear Amulet
Ability: Orichalcum Pulse
Level: 50
Tera Type: Fire
EVs: 196 HP / 116 Atk / 4 Def / 76 SpD / 116 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Collision Course
- Flame Charge
- Swords Dance
- Protect hows this
Plan>Pokemon to revolve Around>Coverage
i mean, dont u need a pokemon to revolve around to have a plan?
ok fair-
i am stupid 🙂
The coverage already falls naturally into place when crafting said plan
ok so koraidon runs Clear Amulet always right
Does it?
i dont know i always see it that way
ive never seen a non clear am koriadon b4, people scared of incin
maybe not always but its gotta be the top pick
but i do really like scarf
at least in Smogon,They really like Scarf cuz Incineroar is obselete in Singles
true true, though, maybe just maybe the plan doesnt have to include koraidon always LEADING
i prefer it as a fast clean up
maybe CLear amulet Feels more better if you always lead it
yeah 100%
and fake out is a probelm, though that might be able to be solved with farig on the side
yeah Farigaraf,or Indeedee
With Indeedee you could Block Rillaboom cuz Its slower than it
the no.1 thing i need immediately
is a flutter counter i think
cause i dont wanna be forced to tera and basically always outsped
You could Indeedee Follow Me,but like it would use Dazzling Gleam-
2 leads which can take out koraidons weaknesses#
yeah it would use dazzling
what does flutter hate to see?
ur mom
lmaooo
I was gonna say Archaludon,but Its a Sun team so no,plus Archaludon ain't tank that good enough
fine then ill start with the second thing it doesnt like, intimidate
Yes
oh
well that changes my ideas of what im gonna do
the boost negates the Intimidate
Almost
u dont care about intim then
OH YEAH ITS ABILITY
or if not scarf go somethhing like LO
unless you bring Kyogre or Terapagos
i was thinking of farig
It's criminal that Snorlax didn't get Wide Guard
it would be the Ultimate Pokemon
mhm it is in fact wide
just because its phat doesnt mean it can wide guard

Ur moms fat she wide guards the doorway all the time
@ mod ur retired staff is booling me mods
Sludge Bomb only deals Neutral,but you can do Sleep Powder Venusaur
no
but still
if it teras to fairy then yes
ok so venasuar isnt it since theres also fake out
what stops priority, that can also kill a flutter in sun
maybe ill just not lead koraidon in such situations actually, that seems much more reasonable
yeah
Koraidon @ Clear Amulet
Ability: Orichalcum Pulse
Level: 50
Tera Type: Fire
EVs: 140 HP / 252 Atk / 116 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Collision Course
- Flare Blitz
- Wild Charge
- U-turn this is what i have
i dont feel like i rly need it any faster tbh
once i add scarf
i think it works
(Oh boi Tornadus would hate this Koraidon-)
yeah its most Beneficial
this is what i got rn
farig and torkoal for tr shenanigans, and prority stopping along with the extra sun
Wolfey:Great Tusk does not deal 50% to Flutter Mane
That Flutter Mane:78/160
Sure...
so its Hybrid Tailwind TR
it would be funny that Terapagos would be good in TR
i have seen tr terapagos, its a neat idea
i want to try it,But My Track Record of Trick Room Teams:
Bad.
tr is easy to activate most of the time, u just need to cover for ways people might try and stop u
i can make a TR version of My Final Team
how many pagos teams are you making 
what-
yeah ignore the troll yeam
What's with the terapagren team
its a troll team that uses Swamp Mechanic from Greninja and Venusaur
don't worry,i would not use it
any specs flutter sets?
I wonder if it's a bad idea to use wide guard iron valiant in the miraidon team
Iron Valiant as Support?
It's gonna have boosted speed and can still have a focus sash
https://pokepast.es/6eb5d8cbf0d180a3
@timber falcon Version 1,Might change
Since terrain
make sense
Doubles or singles?
for what
Onde
what ruleset

CALYREX SHADOW.
Faz sentido
Ghost Mono then
Only reason?
imagine my Town has these kinda Tournament Me wit my Terapagos Mono Normal Team-
Grafaiai support
Terapagos you really need to do stuff for commitment
Oranguru Instruct
Porygon 2 + ursa blood moon
Yeah its Bloody if someone make a Terapagos Mono type team
(I might do it lol)
Ok without Indeedee,I can make someone use a Psychic Terrain
other Ghost Types that Learns PSYCHIC TERRAIN??
well only Calyrex Shadow
but then again,without it,Normal plain Ol' Psychic would be fun
try build a team with it
I'll build a Normal Mono if you want to use Terapagos
170
Offensively*
Caly ice
thats why i say Offensively its good,defensively is bad,But you have Snow Boost
I'll build the Normal Mono if you want to use the Turtle,currently is very good
can raging bolt run specs
you’re probably better off just running life orb, booster energy, or magnet
being specs locked into thunderclap is tough unless you’re just CTS player
Specs on fissure. Very worth it
wait
Terapagos is the First Restricted Legendary that is a Normal Type-
i always did not think that cuz Type Null and Slivaily
Hey
Iron Valiant @ Focus Sash
Ability: Quark Drive
Level: 50
Tera Type: Ghost
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Wide Guard
- Icy Wind
- Moonblast
- Destiny Bond
For e terrain
it is a Good support Iron Valiant
i think ive made a pretty solid team
Nice avatar
Interseting
just testing it
i love the clown so much lol
Snorlax is online
Blog post?
Well my Reg G blogpost is up but I don't have a team blogpost yet
Probably might do 3
I'm just testing Snorlax
Hey tofu would you use wide guard valiant in a miraidon team
It's an option
Cool that means it's not bad
The most NPC moveset to ever win a regional
But it works lol
I mean it helps that Tyo is an insane player
True, but still looks like a moveset you would see an NPC at a battle tower use (the worser ones, also those 1HKO moves are 90% accurate when they use them)
it befuddles me that it worked lol
wait which Battle Frontier Trainer uses Articuno-
The only one i think uses articuno is Brandon from Emerald in the 2nd fight
what are thoughts on power spot stonejourner
wait,Let him cook
Rock
Power Spot
100/125/135/20/20/70
470
It's faster than it looks
wtf is that spdef
Its even worse-
Assurance, Body Press, Body Slam, Brutal Swing, Bulldoze, Earthquake, Endeavor, Facade, Giga Impact, Hard Press, Heat Crash, Heavy Slam, High Horsepower, Low Kick, Low Sweep, Mega Kick, Rock Blast, Rock Slide, Rock Throw, Rock Tomb, Sand Tomb, Self-Destruct, Smack Down, Stomp, Stomping Tantrum, Stone Edge, Superpower, Take Down
Ancient Power, Earth Power, Hyper Beam, Meteor Beam, Power Gem, Round, Snore, Tera Blast
Attract, Block, Curse, Endure, Gravity, Imprison, Iron Defense, Protect, Psych Up, Rest, Rock Polish, Safeguard, Sandstorm, Sleep Talk, Stealth Rock, Substitute, Sunny Day, Wide Guard, Wonder Room
A move displayed with Bold text benefits from Same-Type Attack Bonus when used by Stonjourner.
You gotta run calm max spdef
Guys how much do you think mega deoxys will break the meta? I know it’s happening. It makes so much sense. It will take the best stat from all of the different deoxys forms. It will be unstoppable
will this even help?
Yes
put it in Pokepaste
Pretty irrelevant topic suggestion
there is a button in the bottom
Ain't gonna really conspire on that one
That's really not happening
Wdym it’s relevant and it’s happening
It’s true I swear
I don't think we're gonna get a 1000 bst god pokemon
Yes it is
Fat troll, ignore
I guess it's time to click block
This last one made it clear
on the paste, theres a link at the top. Copy and paste that and send it here so we can get a beter look
cant read that
wait nvm i can now
[Message](#competitive_discussion message) in #competitive_discussion
Cade shell smash
ok a full team of max max evs isnt a great start i dont think btw
idk
Coaching is my new favorite move.
guys, would it be smart to run spe torn
Yes
for Utlility Yes
Taunt mirrors
i meant 0 spe
I invest enough speed to outspeed non-scarfed urshifus
0 spe torn is what im thinking
Why?
Oh
cause what im noticing, is people use rain to stop my weather team
and ill need sun to be up at the end of the turn, sooo
Does koraidon get u-turn?
why not make sure im slower than all the others
i mean, yeah
It's nice that mirai gets volt switch
You get to switch it in again if they take away your terrain
i think i did the same thing with Kyogre in testing when i use Assault Vest Kyogre

main issue
Baxcalibur > Cloyster
I'll send you a Set for ti
Max def max spdef is especially questionable
mhm hp is lacking
ok
especially for k-white, that can run max max but make it hp
Unless it's a pokemon with like 150 hp and 50 base spdef, rule 1 of evs is that hp first
Defenses after
Try for 137 speed stat
i mean speed
