How so
uh
well, terapagos has a positive mu into caly which dengo hates
dengo has a positive mu into zama which terapagos hates
its typing synergy and they like the same kinds of team styles, i think
if im wrong feel free to bash me lol
It's more like
You're gonna essentially be picking/choosing so they'll be playing for the same seat due to the similarity in team style
https://pokepast.es/3b14b36efa039c74 here's 45mice's Terapagos concept
kyogre, suuuure but id rather archaludon on the steel slot
snow just feels kinda meh rn
isn't only Caly-S,Caly-I feels hard to remove for me
https://pokepast.es/82eae7cf25f22dd3 here's my kyogre team, 51 games to 1600s with 74.5% GXE
dengo can generally beat caly i
HH would be a problem but Dengo is just so good
mm
idk
i've been really liking wellspring dengo rn
the restricted to use it with is not helping
...ok
So Hybrid Trick Room Tailwind?
no way im gonna get my hands on a 0 speed caly anytime soon, so just brave nature 31 ivs, idk
Is this going to be your NAIC team?
its strong against loads of matchups so it make sense to bring it
It does feel an interesting duo
dengo also just, i really like the way dengo plays
Insert Wolfey's Gholdengo Edit Music
so, ik the focus should probably be the restricted choice so idk
stuck finding THAT part of the team
i'll give caly a shot
so we basically have opposite Problems, you can't find your restricted and i can't find my team members-
if it feels fine i'll go through hunting the 0 speed
I'm comfortable with Terapagos,but just the teammates that i need to think
mhm
so, dengo wellspring caly, fari?
k
bloodmoon
lando-i as well; ground coverage
Raging Bolt useful for water types as well additionally
does caly i need trick room?
especially Tornshifu and Tornogre rn
hmm
i might bring back Raging Bolt for Support against Urshifu Rapid
Yes
k so, fari incin probably bloodmoon as that makes the most sense to me at least
then dengo wellspring caly
could do sd caly
or just go tr
Fuck now that I think about it
My Caly is 0 speed iirc
I somehow first tried 0 spe Caly iirc without even trying
Just borrow Monke's Caly
yea monke gimme
Farigiraf @ Safety Goggles

- Helping Hand
I have one that can survive against Black Glasses Gambit

Me when the rat won't make me cook better
I used Psychic for STAB and wide guard shenangins but Hyper Voice Throat Spray is nice
foul play is for both caly's
Prefer Psyshock as well
so psyshock/foul play?
oh wait- yeah run that
Gleams are for Koraidon and Miraidon
yes this is from my Dialga Origin Team
im guessing bloodmoon can just 252/252
Max HP,SpA and Min Def or SpD?
Probably ask Dillon tbh; I had a spread that lives CC from Urshifu but I've been using 252/252 for a while
wait.... Can i make Terapagos a Trick Room Team? it's Speed looks fine for a Trick Room Pokemon-
Not hard TR
@next stump you got a bloodmoon spread i can use?
Like Hybrid TrickRoom Tailwind?
i mean i already got Farigiraf in Dialga team so why not i use it on both teams
244HP/252Spa/12Sp Def is what I’ve used a lot
I think you can get more creative but if you’re TR sweeper probably just want max/max (244HP is for life orb)
Drago can i borrow your Dengo Spread?
god why does that sound like Gholdengo Sandwich jam-

I want to build a Okidogi team
im seeing so many more thunderus this reg
What's the most common set? Something like AV, Drain Punch, Knock Off, Poison physical stab?

ogerpon killer
Ohh, it doesn't learn poison jab?
it does
I think i prefer Poison Jab
consistency wise?
Is 60 extra with stab right?
120 --> 180
80 --> 120
i mean poison jab is without risks so i understand why hed go for that
but yeah id still go for gunk shot, damage output it amazing
252+ Atk Okidogi Gunk Shot vs. 212 HP / 132 Def Flutter Mane: 145-172 (92.3 - 109.5%) -- 56.3% chance to OHKO
with said intim u basically ohkoing it
non tera --> neutral
252+ Atk Okidogi Gunk Shot vs. 252 HP / 148 Def Ogerpon-Wellspring: 218-258 (116.5 - 137.9%) -- guaranteed OHKO
Poison/Fighting
Toxic Chain, Guard Dog (Hidden)
88/128/115/58/86/80
555
252+ Atk Okidogi Poison Jab vs. 252 HP / 148 Def Ogerpon-Wellspring: 146-174 (78 - 93%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
too far apart
btw on pikalytics the most used set is just Max Max (hp/atck) @foggy lodge
which makes sense
No sp def investment?
its like u need 2 turns to kill pon with jab (3-4 if it spams protect)
maybe AV is enough? it reaches 159 so idk
Why does it have 555
No way three of this guys lost with type advantage and better stats against Ogerpon
Yeah makes sense
james baek did 2 teams with similar spread
one with max hp max atk
one is 180hp 188 iirc
rest is put on speed
188+ Atk Okidogi Gunk Shot vs. 252 HP / 148 Def Ogerpon-Wellspring: 210-248 (112.2 - 132.6%) -- guaranteed OHKO
188+ Atk Okidogi Gunk Shot vs. 212 HP / 132 Def Flutter Mane: 139-165 (88.5 - 105%) -- 31.3% chance to OHKO
still gets the job done with 188
wait does Foul Play add damage with HH

it does not matter anyway cuz i predicted the Urshifu switch
This moves stress me so much because when it enters the meta i actually have to worry about attack IVs
thank god i use Special Attackers (4/6 are specials,Ogerpon and Grimmsnarl are not)
It has the same BP as Moonblast and Moonblast is straight up broken

i am suprised that Kyogre does not Tera to counter my Ogerpon
unless its Tera Water
Moonblast is just a Nuke Button-
anyone down to battle rn doubles ots bo3?
i am, if u still wanna
why both of my teams rn are both Hybrid Trick Room Tailwind Team-

Simply use gravity, no more precipice blades misses
simply don't miss 
I'd rather not be quad weak to fairy and be a tera hog ty
kinda niche gimmick and i don't want to touch it again
Niche gimmick he says
i just feels i don't see that much

Have you ever clicked Bleakwind?
If you have used Tornadus and used Bleakwind Storm or touched any of the genies and used one of their signature Storm moves, I will argue that the argument is irrelevant
If you can click Bleakwind without rain, you can click Precipice Blades
i havnt used torn more than twice and both times have been on rain
but either way
it's not my restricted its a tailwind setter
Right
But like
The argument of "oh I won't use this because it's signature isn't 100% accurate"
Yeah imo that argument is irrelevant
i dont care
Like sure use Koraidon
i dont wanna risk the miss
Koraidon good
But like
People use Bleakwind, Sandsear, Heat Wave, Rock Slide, Hydro Pump, and other inaccurate moves, but all of a sudden now it's a problem
its problem when its my restricted and the team is built around it
so i wont be using it
i dont like innarraute moves
and you cant say my prefrence is irrelevent thats stupid
I'm saying the general argument is
It's a fact of risk v reward
i didnt argue anything i litterally said "i would rather"
ppl also use water pledge over hydro pump 🙄
Eh just my opinion
Now for that, that actually has some value
Water Pledge doesn't get redirected by Storm Drain
that must be the only reason ppl use it
Kinda yeah
It pretty much is
🤔
Water Pledge is just far inferior aside from avoiding Storm Drain
Think about it this way, the BP differences being significant means the chances you wont hit a KO are down to the likelihood of Hydro Pump missing
vs never hitting that KO with Water Pledge despite always hitting
In a consideration of pure turn efficiency/damage per turn
Suddenly 85% chance to KO vs 0% chance to KO is a different consideration
Preference is just a different matter entirely
yeah dude bigger bp kill more - but its the same reason why someone will settle for less with poison jab over gunk shot
And it’s preference; from a per turn matter it’s still more efficient to run the Higher BP moves that’s just been overmemed about missing
Or in general, inaccurate moves due to higher potential of winning
or building a more favourable board state
I think that lower accuracy moves make the game more fun.
Its the same reasoning why people pulled up to a regional with Magma Storm Heatran
Sand Tomb Ting-Lu + Dondozo being a relevant archetype despite the main core of it running inaccurate moves
No one’s running Water Pulse on Kyogre as far as I’m seeing
Water Pulse or Water Spout?
exactly its preference - if someone didnt wanna run 80 acc or they did - it doesnt matter - ppl been doing that all the time - the whole thing is cyclical where its just overtalked about - using hydro as an example of how ppl will use it is goofy when a lot of mons just dont have another better option
if ur kyogre i think u kinda always want to have spout no?
I’m not trying to push one as being better than the other?
didnt say u were - same thing like last time - u just jump in late when the other person p much is
I’m just giving my two cents for consideration as overall
like no disrespect to u
that's just what monkey was arguing for i think
i was talking about my preference
oh tofu talking about sandtomb tinglu, i just saw sandtomb tinglu + yawn dozo is that like common?
Its a team
a first time i saw it, its also Lefties tinglu with protect hmm
sitrus dozo
plays very slow
I mean, it’s a public discussion channel overall, I didn’t take it as Monke trying to shove preference rather than to converse about it
Rocky Helmet Ting-Lu
nah, the team i met was lefties dragon tera
Ok good for you
thought that it was dozo rocky, but then it lives by like 1/4 then sheals with sitrus so i was like, the fuck
Dozo can solo cosmic power eternatus though so there's that
yeah i just thought it a little rude to start off the discussion saying like "your argument is irrelevent"
when all i said was "i think i would rather do this than this"
unaware go brrrr
Unaware + order up
yep
Understandable, Monke is just shit at communicating sometimes but it’s something he’s been working on for a while
i getchu i getchu i'll keep that in mind and be understanding 🙏
turtle Gang moment
I need to play turtle
Why play turtle when you can play monke
Turtle GOATed
Watch a replay of a Pokémon battle between 9wtt and Gholdengoat27! Format: [Gen 9] VGC 2024 Reg G; Date: Apr 24, 2024
That every turn after turn 1
VERY TRUE
Or get this
Turtle AND Monke

OK. Why they bring Greninja and Charizard-

like i was so confused of what the hell is he building,A rain team or a Sun Team?
Terapagos and Rillaboom:Heh
Lol what was ur opponents plan? Sweep with no speed control? 
With groudon and charizard no less
I was expecting the Charizard to use overheat t1
Even heat wave would’ve worked
Heat wave and p blades
at least Zard make sense cuz SWSH vibes,BUT GRENINJA REALLY???
Mhm
Idt Fari died there tbh
I think
And ludicolo without rain lol
Bold plan lol
Greninja does not deal damage at all in VGC
Yeah cause it is
Tera normal hyper voice is so good lol
The only time I've seen greninja is to proc stamina on archaludon or rage fist on annihilape
Fari Dengo just make Sucker Punch Useless lol
This ur first time using BM urs?
Yuh
Fari making all the priority useless
then again Greninja is only good for using Taunt in VGC,i don't see it being a offensive sweeper
Water/Dark
Torrent, Protean (Hidden), Battle Bond (Special)
72/95/67/103/71/122

Greninja-Bond, Greninja-Ash
Greninja is crap
Haven’t really played tr stuff
I see
But I’m doing that cuz tofu suggested Fari caly with dengo and wellspring
its just not that good in VGC,unless Ash Greninja is Legal,then we can talk
As that’s what I’m enjoying right now, dengo wellspring
It’s a very solid team I gotta admit
Respect the mons not the player
Decorate alcremie got its back
Also foul play Fari 
Caly killer
Alcremie with sweet veil?

This Pokemon and its allies cannot fall asleep, but those already asleep do not wake up immediately. This Pokemon and its allies cannot use Rest successfully or become affected by Yawn, and those previously affected will not fall asleep.
252+ Atk Grimmsnarl Foul Play vs. 252 HP / 4 Def Calyrex-Ice: 152-180 (73.4 - 86.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
This Pokemon and its allies cannot become affected by Attract, Disable, Encore, Heal Block, Taunt, or Torment.
Tbf some of my opponents are idiots lol
Doesn’t foul play use the other mons one lol
Watched a guy throw a game with gambit fire and he didn’t double the Fari which was half hp
In fact
yeah
wait,Tera Fire Gambit?
Gouging fire
oh.
Lol wtf are those 1st 2 turns
imagine that Zard OHKO's Ogerpon,which could work.
Nothing would’ve changed except farig taking more damage
I don’t think groudon killed with 1 heat crash
252+ Atk Black Glasses Kingambit Kowtow Cleave vs. 220 HP / 220 Def Farigiraf: 200-236 (89.6 - 105.8%) -- 37.5% chance to OHKO
Ok damn-
Is that dragos giraff?
i made that Giraff.
I think it’s missing physical bulk 
252+ Atk Black Glasses Kingambit Kowtow Cleave vs. 220 HP / 220 Def Farigiraf through Reflect: 100-118 (44.8 - 52.9%) -- 28.1% chance to 2HKO
Ok that’s really bulky
then again,i have Grimmsnarl so naturally it would work
I lost mine so i needed to use someone’s lol

Yuh

not for every1 
some circuits have reg f for nationals
Yep
Nvm Drago
I'm 31 IV speed
Could've sworn last time I looked at Caly, it was 0IV
anyone down to battle doubles open team sheets best of 3?
Fuck
I can reset for you I just need to do the crown tundra stuff
Yeah but you would have to reset your game no?
Oh yeah tru
do you need switch online on the alt to do that?
nah
i have in the past as recently as w/ ogerpon to do that
just have switch online on my main
so what’s the process? create a new switch profile, replay the game, put the pokemon in HOME from the alt profile, then what?
wen ur in home, u can change between profiles
Wait what?
so once u transfer the mon from ur alt profile to ur home box, u just save, switch to ur main profile and grab it from that
You can swap mons to a different account via home?
that’s awesome thank you
np
yes
So say im in SC
Oh that’s great
SV
itll have ur different profiles u can switch between
like multiple profiles of sv? yea
Ima try it rn
wen ur in the home menu and click boxes itll have the option to change it where the names at
Btw say I lost raging bolt and gouging fire, is it worth replaying everything to get em back?
You what
its a lot i think to get em no? u can def survive without them
cuz they are locked behind perrin story

howd u lose em?
i didnt but ok
Tofu does at least, anyway
so u traded for one
damn
ALSO IT WORKS
i know
YOOOOOO

literally why

lmaoo
It looked really cool at the time 
lmao
its a cool shiny
Then I traded it for latias shiny
bruh
Then torn shiny
what
And lost the torn somehow
lmao

I don’t even know where it went
i just hunt it myself but yea rng manip is great
What’s that
cant really go in depth on it here but basically just finding the seed of the shiny and getting it frame perfect to get said seed

theres different methodology depending on the game too but generally its going for/doing the same thing
Was just sitting in home
no mind it
Okidoki
cant really say much more tbh, if u want to u can look it up theres plenty of resources out there for it
I think if I was gonna hunt a shiny leg I’d try do it the long way
For the experience
if i wanted one for reg g im manipping for it i cant be bothered
calyrex and the horses not being shiny 
1 shotting kyogre feels illegal
(w/ a neutral hit)
it’s about 20-30 hours to hit the shiny rate through dynamax adventures in SWSH depending on if you have a path that you can reset and finish every time
so it’s not that bad, it is also a very AFK grind that you can do on the side
I'll help if you need
Tbh I could probably use it myself once you done with NAIC if you go Caly I route
das arent too bad. its mostly just getting a lot of ore and a path u can consistently win on
Ok nice to know, I’ll try for lunala this weekend I guess
lunala isnt too bad
Will NAIC be Reg G btw?
It’s great
Ok nice to know (not that I’m going)
i mean like da difficulty, its a good mon tho i think its not great in single restricted
im sure someone will do well w/ it but i think itll thrive more in double restricted. feels it needs to do too much and isnt as instant offense coded as a lot of other restricteds that to me outclass it
A lot of mons feel better with double restricted i think
yea
You think Groudon + Koraidon pairs will be a thing?
maybe, seems a bit overkill but possible
I guess, but it’s nice sun setters have diverse typings
i think ppl will try it out
Btw, is lunala like a tr mon
generally yea
It gets both tr and tailwind so it can be either I guess
mhmm
resetting for 0iv speed isnt too bad, i just mballed it and kept checking till i got it. luckily didnt take too long for me
getting to that point, a bit more tedious lol
Don't bring up that name here lol

I fucking hate Lunala
Like my MUs into it are always abysmal
walled by normal-type beat
Beat?
If only

Tofu I'm in a call with someone who used Caly I with max speed Jolly cuz in TW it outspeeds Caly S and Adamant Scarf Shifu
Like we really doing this LMFAO
one team in swsh did that
Got the indo exclusive pikachu
yooo nice
Damn batik pikachu exist

beli sendiri
Landorus btw. Is this a pretty rare IV set for a legit Legendary. Prob be pretty good for trick room teams. But, I think I am going to use caps on it. For VGC.
Lando isn’t a TR Pokemon
Sorry to break the news buddy
No Good Atk is optimal though
Only if its Lando-I
Yeah I'm gonna bottle cap it's speed
uhhhh, where did u get this?
thats kinda sus since no good or 0 IV is counted as functional IVs for VGC and can be hypertrained, making it a functional 6 IVs
brpaan?
i mean if its self caught good then 
Sure is
215k
kontol mahal
regieleki is like the fastest pokemon possible in the format rn no?
0 speed on it seems more like a loss than a benefit
Iron ball Regieleki 
the gen8 box sprites look so good
I’ve been using iron ball chi-yu on a jank trick room team on showdown 
it dun learn trick room
Only the ones that got a high resolution update. Vast majority are still using the ugly outdated compressed DS box sprites
I still prefer the HD sprites from SV thouh

Could that work?
I'm just messing with Wolfey's Eternatus Team in SWSH with some minor adjustments and i actually beat a Calyrex Team,and its quite comfortable using it
Ooh, eternatus very nice
probably would not be in top 3 most used Restricted,but i could use it in showdown
Fair enough, I’ve been drawing to help with my mental, cause this reg is tough (for me)
I wont use etern but it does seem very interesting
So far i only see stall etern
Neither
Oh wait i didn't realize it is you Crephace
Hi
i just use Wolfey's Life Orb Eternatus team
Wait he made a reg G team?
Didn't know he played unnoficial metas
Like reg G (for now)
As you can probably guess I’ve been trying Lunala, it’s really good, I’m just struggling with power levels this reg, no matter what restricted I use
He made it in SWSH
Terapagos,Lunala and Origin Dialga
for me at least
Oh right, i did watch that video, it is what inspired me to try SpA Landorus-Therian
wolfey won the largest Reg G tournament so far
yeah with Caly S
With boring
unfortunately its good for a reason
I’ve tried, Lunala, kyogre, Groudon, rayquaza, Zacian, zamazenta, koraidon and palkia. So far I’ve been enjoying Lunala the most
I use Zekrom, Koraidon and Kyogre, all of them do really good
Oh and kyruem-white
Ngl i want to try Kyogre but i have to build my Zekrom team in game and get a shiny one
Fair enough, presuming your gonna hunt on swsh for that
Yes, i will do it on shield
Good
LMAO
you have scarf with protect right now

wait it should be U-Turn.
Is it weird i want to use special landorus-therian?
I have my kyogre team and i lack intimidate, i might need it and special attacking = Not giving a shit about intimidate
Also Suicune is kind of mid rn
Slightly but it’s special attack stat is good, don’t know about its special attacking move pool
Same as incarnate's
Oh
https://pokepast.es/b7bd44a1c46a3934 Team i am using
Then sure, it lacks the pure damage output from a lack of sheer force + life orb but other than that it seems ok in theory
I can always slap specs or L-Orb onto Landorus
Yeah I guess, do what you got to I guess
I will test it, seems too tempting to not try
Have fun
i was like,hey you know whats super funny,
Gives Suicune even more speed control
Double speed control in one pokemon is, interesting
i can bring urshifu but i lost my only tailwind mon
Tornadus:
Tornadus has prankster so it is more valid for that
You know who i really want to try?
?
ah yes Godzilla
Counters both calyrex's, removes Grudon and Kyogree's weather, synergizes well with zacian
make sense
Probably a dumb question but into Calyrex-ice what do you click with t-tar? Knock off?
Bro the bikes aren't serious
yes
Makes sense
We have a mon that does 65% to invested eternamax on average
And for calyrex ice i can click rock slide too
How is this real
Nice
Ngl i expected Drago to ping me to tell me i should use landorus-incarnate for special attacking, i prefer being pinged for something more serious than some silly thing
I did say it was a dumb question
It is still more serious than that
Alright
Back to Fire Emblem
I think im locked in with zacian right now
is meowscarada good for vgc?
used to
Not anymore
i missed those days of me using Meowscarada
is it good for singles
They were fun
is cinderace good for vgc
Not sure

No
okay thanks
No problem
why didn't it Get Triple Axel like eariler,I want to use it to kill Roaring Moon ;-;
I still wouldn’t have used cause of accuracy
talon flame or cinderace?
Talonflame is better rn, but there are better alternatives then both
i used Flower Trick,Sucker Punch,Brick Break and Triple Axel with Choice Band Tera Ice for fun,but i changed back to Grass
like who
Fire wise, Incineroar, Heatran, gouging fire, chi-yu, hisuian-arcanine
Ogerpon as well
but that counts as Fire,Water,Grass types
True forgot about that
rock ogerpon is debatable but idk
thank you
No problem
Me when i give Suicune even more speed Control
Your using Suicune? Ok
i slightly Modify Wolfey's Eternatus Team's Suicune and Replace Snarl with Icy Wind Cuz Entei has it
Oh
Me:You want more Speed Control? Here have some!
Proceeds to give a bag of Dog Food to Suicune
wait is suicune a dog-
It’s a Pokémon
but like is it look like a dog
I think it’s often considered a hound
yes
ok so its more like a Dog Breed,cuz Houndoom is consider a dog breed that looks like a wolf
Suicune is a beast
Not sure what Suicune is based off of but i think it is a dog/cat mix
ok at least giving some speed control dog food is ok ig
True
and i might give it too much lol
Btw how is the restricted notes going? I am currently making calyrex-ice's notes
I might make Miraidon and Lunala next
Ah ok
Man I tell my managers I have finals this/next week and then I’m asked to come in to work more hours
Like cmon use your fucking brain

Me when i use Terapagos casually:
Zekrom when it needs to land a bolt strike to win:
Enemy RNG is 50/50, your RNG is 1/4096
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2024regg-2110620066-67qwn10qdhxztn64rm4zz0tny8mn132pw im ngl idk if i should have won that

Surprised you haven't FO'd the calyrex at turn 1
true
I knew bolt was snarl spamming since it was on lead
I eat 1 and I had wellspring in the back
Wellspring+dengo typically handles caly ice
Wellspring checks it’s Tera’s and redirects high horse from dengo so it can set up/attack
Which mon does Kyogre never wanna see
Ik I eat 1 as I’ve watched my dengo eat 1
Wellspring bolt koraidon miraidon bundle
What about calcs?
Raging bolt wellspring miraidon
Terapagos Gastrodon Groudon
Rillaboom
Since it’s a sun team, I reckon I go bolt then
But that makes a quad fairy weakness and a fairy weakness
252+ Atk Calyrex-Ice Rider High Horsepower vs. 204 HP / 60 Def Gholdengo: 138-164 (73.4 - 87.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
It tanks that like nothing
Unless I’m fighting banded I always eat 1
Who tf uses banded calyrex-ice
I saw a banded Tera ground caly ice today
2HKO isn’t “like nothing” is it?
1200 elo is crazy
That was fucking weird, I won cuz he was Tera ground
Still tanks that very well
Yeah I agree with that
What about the fairly common coaching/HH
On caly
That’s common?
I mean is it not?
I don’t see it ever
https://pokepast.es/ef1a758b69e15006 What should be in the 6th slot?
I always see either HH or coaching
Also again, into something like that I go wellspring dengo on lead
This is the tr one right?
I also like dengo wellspring into Lunala
Oh?
It is what buttons to click I need to figure out but if I’m not facing a chi yu lunala cough follow me/nasty plot is relatively save and you wide guarding means free shadow balls/more set up
Still figuring that my up tbh
But into Lunala without chi yu I just go dengo and do dengo things
I am dead set on taking dengo to NAIC
What’s ur chi-yu MU
Bonk with wellspring
Flutter 
Also calyrex does not like facing amoonguss btw
Why is lando-T there.
Amoonguss with 27 speed ivs underspeeds calyrex which outspeeds it in tr
You go incarnate on that team always
Because i like intimidate which synergizes well with the Ogre
And ogerpon too
As long as it works I guess
But the damage output is gonna be lower, and why ground tera
Incin generally doesn’t care as much
That is unintentionall
It is supposed to be flying
Electric tera?
Wouldn’t taunt be ideal for torn btw
I was looking for a 6th member, not judgement yet
This?
Yes
He’s already real
Also don’t go too deep into incin being anti synergy with rain
Incin + lando-I would be ideal
Harc sure but incin has high enough utility it just doesn’t care
Also lando i is just way better in that spot
Archa wants fairy Tera for single strike/cc/Draco meteors
You still get chunked by it, not die to it but chunked by it
Electric isn’t worthwhile imo
Poky or me?
Poky
Most have tw torn too
You origin pulse not spout
Water spout it
Incin simply is a great choice into this team
If tw is up
tailwind water spout and pray they dont have mienshao
On both sides
They my will most likely also have tw so u go origin
Kyogre tanks it very well
Kyogre is specially very fat
Not quite the same, bolt strike has 85% accuracy, Hydro Pump has 80% accuracy (iirc)
Even so, spout will be mitigated
Ok
unless Its against Bolt,Ogerpon,Rilla
Still applies
True, it is only a 5% diff
Kyogre can eat a hit from bolt
It can eat horn leech from ogerpon
It can’t eat wood hammers lol
If stone edge never lands, neither does pump (a joke)
180+ SpA Protosynthesis Raging Bolt Thunderbolt vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Kyogre: 164-194 (93.7 - 110.8%) -- 62.5% chance to OHKO
76 Atk Wellspring Mask Ogerpon-Wellspring Horn Leech vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Kyogre: 140-168 (80 - 96%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Idk how last time i OHKO Kyogre with Ogerpon but eh
Crit?
Why would the Ogre be in sun?
its not even a crit
Not T-Clap
So then how 
Why is it proto boosted
I just had an idea: Tera Ghost scarf calyrex shadow
just a though
Shit? Probably
Tf?
What is Adragon20 doing there?
its still 76 Atk EVs with Jolly
yeah his rillaboom helped my Ogerpon
I was joking with Therian, i thought "What if i use it, and then kyogre wont die immediately to Wood Hammer"
Why random Evs on lando hp
Tanks Astral Barrage
Also i forgot to switch tera on Arch
Oh that’s neat
Fixed tera
Non boosted right?
Yes
archaludon the goat
252 SpA Life Orb Calyrex-Shadow Rider Astral Barrage vs. 36 HP / 4 SpD Landorus: 142-168 (84 - 99.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
damn-

I. L. O. V. E. T. R. O. L. L. I. N. G.
yikes
I discovered that Arch has really good synergy with flying at the cost of being weak to calyrex-ice and miraidon
Which are big prices to pay
Bruh
Whats ur logic behind Flying here

Did you not see what I said about fsiry Tera
Immunity to Ground, resists Fighting, steel beats ice and rock
Dragon not contributing to types offensively as usual
Flash cannon doesn’t Ohko any caly i’s as far as I’m aware
Arguably at the moment Dragon STAB almost more important Steel STAB kek
Lol
True, but after an Electro Shot i think it can probably OHKO
Let’s see
And it will use it a lot in rain which torn and Kyogre have
Idk idt youre KOing any Caly-Is after you Tera into its weakness
+1 164+ SpA Archaludon Flash Cannon vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Calyrex-Ice Rider: 164-194 (79.2 - 93.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

Flying is such an inferior Tera for Archaludon
i might used the more bulkier archaludon set cuz my SpA EVs are not that high but eh
Fsiry literally just always better
You don’t like single strike since it ignores your boosts
Also not getting nuked by Draco
I will test and the results will speak after testing

Archaludon @ Assault Vest
Ability: Stamina
Level: 50
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Fairy
EVs: 220 HP / 4 Def / 44 SpA / 180 SpD / 60 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Electro Shot
- Dragon Pulse
- Body Press
- Flash Cannon
I just use this Archaludon
Why when someone here mentions calyrex-ice i get it in a match
Kek
Well atleast an opportunity to practice against it
wait is my Archaludon alright for usage?
Hmm, so like, kyogre wellspring dengo torn sounds decent
Looks good
What are the calcs for?
i used one with Archaludon so I think Dengo is better cuz offensive measure
Yea I mean
i just yoinked the Portland 15th's Archaludon-
I’m just looking at the restricted options to use dengo
Someone said any are fine but mostly kyogre kyurem or tofu said caly (which I like)
i tried with Terapagos
Tofu brought this up
The issue with doing terapagos and dengo is the fact they overlap in role so much you’re really picking one or the other
And you’re normally gonna pick the turtle
welp time to replace dengo with someone
So dengo kinda feels like a dead slot
https://pokepast.es/9926b89355396f3e
If we remove Dengo then maybe Urshifu?
Watch a replay of a Pokémon battle between Wijuci and lycopoky slimesy! Format: [Gen 9] VGC 2024 Reg G; Date: Apr 24, 2024
Beat it
hmm, @mighty stump do you think kyogre wellspring Fari dengo is a decent core to try out?
for Kyogre?
imo Urshi/Lando almost a must
wait should i replace dengo for Rillaboom
so, kyogre shifu lando dengo wellspring Fari?
Yes
Idk just looking at things to use with dengo wellspring
As it’s less work to not go hunting for 0 speed mons
Cuz that shit sucks
Hey Donkey Kong Konkey Dong
Ogerpon is literally Kyogre/Groudon remover so it needs to be in my team,Grimmsnarl is for the screens,Fari and Torn or Hybrid Trick Room Tailwind team Speed Control....
hmm
hmm
hmm
hmm
Don’t really wanna try Lunala or the dogs as they overlap a lot with dengo
Palkia, doesn’t overlap
Ok but is Palkia worth bringing to NAIC?
this team i made would be fine if i can Replace Dengo with Lunala-
Oh it’s for a tourney, definitely not
I did, i just wanted to try flying
It’s not
if its 2 restricted i can use Lunala over Dengo-
Definitely not
Maybe it is
But they won’t expect it
I never faced a Palkia myself
I was thinking about snow but idt it’s the right material rn
I ran into a mirror matchup with palkia
I mean Kyurem-White spamming blizzard in snow seems pretty good
Yea you’d be surprised how little I got to do that with kyurem
i would bring Archaludon but that means i need to use Tailwind option cuz Tornadus has rain dance
Calyrex ice + snow + Aurora veil + trick room = How the fuck am i supposed to kill it
so not really
I don’t feel like I can pilot that either
Fissure
A9 with tr seems clunky
Who will run fissure outside of maybe Ting
torkoal gets it iirc
Fissure ting lu, you auto win some games
Ice/Fairy
Snow Cloak, Snow Warning (Hidden)
73/67/75/81/100/109
505
Ninetales
yeah its pretty fast

You can always pivot
I don’t see you too often
oh hey drago
A9 has a pivot move? Huh?
You could run, miraidon, bundle and a9
Pivot out with a switch
did you settle on a dengo restricted?
I fear for my life
Aw hell nah wtf
Oh that looks awful
What on fucking earth am i seeing
You should send us the match link
Cuz I wanna watch that gonna be terrible match lol
We all know how it ends
Prankster yawn kek
aw hell nah
no its fine
narrowed down the suspects?
who're you thinking
Oh, that’s foul
Tofu would 4 0 that
Kyogre kyurem snow or caly ice atm
so....
the ones you were avoiding-
wait what-
Shadow rider is stupid
yeah
People I talked to were saying it kinda works with anything but idt it really does
though i havent seen much shadowdee
Kyogre feels odd, since then your likely choosing dengo over Archaludon
They clearly never heard of tr
Generally I want something to handle dengo’s weaknesses
Makes sense
i am still thinking which Pokemon should i replace Dengo
rain + dengo is good in general
Caly and kyogre currently fit the bill
Yes but idk how to get a team going with dengo as rn rain just seems faster paced than dengo runs
run Specs
Caly tr has been fine but it feels off
I know it’s not a restricted but Primarina, covers all of dengo’s weaknesses
ig so...
Not bad necessary just off
run Specs
I mean specs make it rain never dissapoints
…why
In terms of damage
defeats the point of doing wellspring dengo but ok
In terms of comparing it to nasty plot i think it is worse
^^^
should i replace Dengo With Bolt?
Ohhhhhh it’s you drago
Than dengo does
Then don't do Wellspring Dengo, you're saying it gets outpaced. Otherwise you run Amoonguss + Incineroar for FO/Rage Powder cycle
im trying to not be on discord as much-
He had that PFP for quite some time even before changing his username
Yesterday it was a dog I just noticed today
It was Zacian, it is not an ordinary dog

No zacian is just an ordinary puppy
i just figure that a teal pokemon pfp is drago-
though drago usually makes his pfp what hes working on so its easier to tell like that too
It is not the way I generally play but whatever if that’s how it needs to be played then that’s how it needs to be played
hello Eni!
That or I drop dengo and go play Zac again in hopes something works
Hey Eni, i dont see you here that often
i feel like zac is too niche now-
Hello, yeah I don’t have anything to contribute usually
Intimidate is just really bad for Zac
I haven’t really clicked with any of the top guys yet, except caly ice ig
do Pelipper Zacian
Its pretty well positioned rn
I saw that, got second yesterday
peli zac :0
In Tommy Tuesdays
ohhhh
mm, man idk
im not liking the ground weakness there-
I think dengo wellspring is generally pretty good I am not having any luck finding a restricted that feels good, besides caly I just want to see options that don’t require a lot of grinding
That or I just can’t pilot shit
It is only 3 with 2 ways to beat it and an immunity
Tyranitar also has ice punch on that team
sandstorm boosts Special defense iirc right-
cause if so then nvm
