[solid frigate]

Smeragle:Heh

[strange fjord]

tbh they threw. if they side target heal pulse, you wouldve died to struggle. guess they didn't think of that. but thats a funny long battle

[solid frigate]

But does it beat the dog though

[chrome knot]

[craggy dagger]

TwT

[chrome knot]

[craggy dagger]

[next stump]

speed ties in general with these restricted formats is gross

[bold geode]

Yeah
It's gonna be disgusting

[tall sequoia]

Is this a good VGC build? Obviously im using a really bulky ev built cresselia and not the evs on this thing and leftovers

[next stump]

most scarf urshifu’s are tying at 223SPE, caly-I and S speed ties often, Koraidon/Pao/Flutter all at the same speed

yeah that moveset is not bad, but I recommend using a website like Pikalytics or Munchstats for more accurate VGC builds and stats

[tall sequoia]

I dunno how to use that

[next stump]

you type the website’s name into google

and you’re done

[tall sequoia]

Which one is easier to use?

[bold geode]

I've just kept my Urshifu not max max to help out a little with bulk, y'know
Make sure Tera Normal Choice Band Extreme Speed don't OHKO me

[next stump]

I think Pikalytics is a little more user friendly but both are pretty simply

[bold geode]

Cuz I think Dnite could still be relevant over Rayquaza in a way

[next stump]

simple*

[chrome knot]

it is

[tall sequoia]

Ngl this chat makes me go from super nerdy to average in competitive

[next stump]

I’m personally only running 156ATK and the rest into bulk but yes, basically that

[craggy dagger]

unfortunatly you'd be correct.
inner focus is kinda too good

[bold geode]

Yeah lmao
Tbf though, here lately is the most I've actually thought about more shit now

[cyan smelt]

Dnite doesn't get swords dance or good flying stab though

[tall sequoia]

And honestly i dont have that many good special attackers, only fluttermane and tornadus which i only use for tailwind

[craggy dagger]

tbh
they both have their pros and cons

its just imo dnite will still prolly be better cause of inner focus and multiscale.
FO intim denial is really big

[bold geode]

Oh I did do that with only 180 speed EVs, but Ursh needed to be faster so

[craggy dagger]

but then again...
V create ray :0

[cyan smelt]

V create isn't legal on ray

[craggy dagger]

it is-

its an event one though idk if its actually legal in vgc

[next stump]

IMO you gotta be out speeding Caly-S with your scarf ursh nowadays

[solid frigate]

i mean why tho.

[bold geode]

Yeah I tried not in favor of more bulk, but outspeeding Caly S just proves to be too valuable

[solid frigate]

its not even legal

[cyan smelt]

Yeah that's what I meant, I don't think v create ray is legal in vgc

[craggy dagger]

idk thougth it was cool it got vcraete

[solid frigate]

Its good against Caly Ice

[chrome knot]

@craggy dagger thoughts on the reg g 6?

[solid frigate]

i can try

[bold geode]

@next stump I have a bit of bad news for the 156+ Atk Shifu

Look at this calc

156+ Atk Sword of Ruin Tera-Water Urshifu-Rapid Strike Surging Strikes (3 hits) vs. 252 HP / 156+ Def Zamazenta-Crowned in Rain on a critical hit: 168-198 (84.4 - 99.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

And I'm a BIT bulkier so

And

Notes

A move displayed with Bold text benefits from Same-Type Attack Bonus when used by Chien-Pao.

SableyeBot version 4.27.0

[bold geode]

CC don't OHKO either
Only has a chance with SoR and Helping Hand, which ain't even a possible combo

[mighty stump]

Opposing Chien-Pao

Ofc its possible lmao

[bold geode]

Yeah
It's just crazy to know you basically have to double into that bitch with Ursh Pao

[solid frigate]

252+ Atk Sword of Ruin Urshifu-Rapid-Strike Close Combat vs. +1 252 HP / 156+ Def Zamazenta-Crowned: 122-146 (61.3 - 73.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

252+ Atk Sword of Ruin Urshifu-Rapid-Strike Surging Strikes (3 hits) vs. 252 HP / 156+ Def Zamazenta-Crowned on a critical hit: 90-108 (45.2 - 54.2%) -- approx. 28.5% chance to 2HKO

252+ Atk Tera Water Sword of Ruin Urshifu-Rapid-Strike Surging Strikes (3 hits) vs. 252 HP / 156+ Def Zamazenta-Crowned in Rain on a critical hit: 180-216 (90.4 - 108.5%) -- approx. 37.5% chance to OHKO

Even then its 37% of happening

[solid frigate]

252+ Atk Tera Water Urshifu-Rapid-Strike Helping Hand Surging Strikes (3 hits) vs. 252 HP / 156+ Def Zamazenta-Crowned in Rain on a critical hit: 204-240 (102.5 - 120.6%) -- guaranteed OHKO

if its max attack,just Tera Water Helping hand Works fine

[bold geode]

Yeah that's it lol

[solid frigate]

so have an Helping Hand Mon for Urshifu is enough

but need to use your Tera

and i don't know if its a fair tradeoff

who?

Tornados urshifu def would have been the better lead though for sure lol

this is not healthy

[timber falcon]

So they saw u had caly-s

And indeedee

So they brought mons that’d die to Eforce and atrial barrage?

[charred saddle]

bringing incin doesnt change much

just changed my move to tera fight blast

[timber falcon]

I know, but it would’ve been a better choice as they also ran a tr team, but didn’t set up tr

I even had a write up for one of my higher performing early teams

https://pokepast.es/633db5a008dbb755

Wasted EVs on Weezing/Gyara/Rilla

Lmaoo

[rustic mountain]

[mighty stump]

Bro I only remembered how based Safeguard Arcanine was

Court Change was also so good

Blaze Pyro Ball >>>

Cinderace - Incredibly fast and hits just as hard, initially while playtesting the team without Cinderace, I recognised that the meta strongly favoured Tailwind (much more so than this season) and people tend to be fairly predictable when they choose to use Tailwind, even if they recognised what Cinderace can do. Court Change can allow you to match and level the speed for this team. As an added bonus, it also steals screens which strengthens the core concept of this team (Thanks Lapras). Protect is to prevent sash breaks from Fake Outs. Pyro Ball is your primary form of damage, doing impressive numbers especially with Blaze, (especially with sash helping you near-guarantee a turn). ALWAYS CLICK PYRO BALL. Sucker Punch is there to just help finish off some enemies and do good damage to Dragapult. It requires fairly aggressive reads but its good practice.

[rustic mountain]

rip cinderace

[mighty stump]

This Gyara lived Electric moves

I still remember

It lived Max Lightning from Rotom

Obv I was maxed as well butyea

[rustic mountain]

yea i figured haha still

What a blast from the past

[rustic mountain]

yea frfr

[mighty stump]

we all start somewhere

[rustic mountain]

ik ppl hated swsh/dmax but since its wen i started comp ill always b fond of it

[mighty stump]

I have a soft spot for it

[rustic mountain]

w/ that being said, my fav format in swsh was the non dmax one (series 10)

[mighty stump]

I knew I was correct in thinking Koraidon was better than Miraidon

Lol

[dull ibex]

👀

Is it better then groudon yet?

[mighty stump]

It might outpace Groudon

Groudon just makes teambuilding easier

[pastel blade]

Say it ain’t so. That was the only thing us violet players had over the scarlet exclusives 🤣

Glad I'm not crazy

[dull ibex]

Why is this toxic

[torn parrot]

sweet innocent child

[dull ibex]

Oh its because stall

Stall isn't toxic

[torn parrot]

i bullied my friends with it

[timber falcon]

[torn parrot]

stall is defintely toxic as a former stall player

[dull ibex]

Why is a team toxic?

[torn parrot]

stall players chillin
the other player is having the worst experinece

[dull ibex]

Who cares what they think

[timber falcon]

sitting there for an hour wasting everyone's time for no apperent reason

annoying them to death

[dull ibex]

According to who?

[timber falcon]

experience

[torn parrot]

being a considerate person is to care

i liked being evil tho

[dull ibex]

Stall isn't toxic but it is boring to play against

I'm not playing to be considerate, I'm playing to win

[torn parrot]

you do you

[dull ibex]

If you think I'm toxic for playing a slow team idk man

Boring and toxic don't equate

[strange fjord]

stall isn't fun... to play against. to play as tho? could be fun.

It's definitely not my thing

I'm a very big fan of aggressive play

ohhh cool gotcha

so ur gonna be the first guy to win a regional with munchlax

fr. its gonna happen

tbh i think i made a good team. but if someone copied it and replaced Munchlax with Ursaluna Guts Flame Orb. it'd probably be much better.

What Caly-S has max defence lol

That's so unrealistic

[knotty mirage]

Fair enough just thinking if maybe there some people who want to makes bulky build on caly s

[willow vault]

Does Kyogre use any water moves commonly other than water spout and origin pulse?

Why would you post this. Making me look like it was a serious consideration

[willow vault]

This may have been the fastest rage quit I've ever seen, in game 1 aswell they forfeitted the series lmao. (Yes its awfully low elo, I've been struggling very badly) https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2024reggbo3-2111143714-0semv9mvizsac4kvtz8rv75pdy214e5pw

[sharp cobalt]

Did they just not run fake out?

[willow vault]

they did, I just figured, worst that happens is I get fake outted they get 1 set of screen and then either I get ivy cudgel into rillaboom or I volt switch to reset terrain.

Grimmsnarl had no attacking moves, so I didn't feel threatened

[sharp cobalt]

What then? Screens, taunt, encore, fake tears?\

O, parting shot

[willow vault]

Screens, parting shot + encore

It was a random set, very low ladder like but I’ll take it

[sharp cobalt]

Like a set I'd take, Im trash

[willow vault]

I’m more trash don’t worry about it

[sharp cobalt]

Trash together

[willow vault]

Also Miraidon is really damn strong when you pair it with mons outside the scope of just quark drive mons

[mighty stump]

You know sometimes it helps not to be self-deprecating when it comes to things you do

[willow vault]

I’ve been told that a lot

[mighty stump]

From both a personal and social standpoint

[willow vault]

Again I know

[sharp cobalt]

Tofu, did you un-retire?

[willow vault]

Oh yeah your name changed colour again, that’s cool

[mighty stump]

I did.

[sharp cobalt]

Well, if I am to be honest, I am just not that good at VGC. Im halfway decent at singles, but by no means good. So even if it doesn't help, I'd rather be honest about my skills in a game

[mighty stump]

There's a difference between being honest about your skill level and actively putting yourself down

One sounds like fact, the other, pitiful

[molten oasis]

[sharp cobalt]

Lmao

[sharp cobalt]

Ive been put down so many times, it feels like home to me

And lets be real, competitive pokemon is quite usually a toxic clownfest

[mighty stump]

I've only ever seen the opposite, it just depends on what you consider toxic

As far as any competitive games go

[sharp cobalt]

I used to be in pokemon leagues on showdown side servers, and you would not believe the toxicity during LvLs. Its what keeps me from trying competitive pokemon most of the time

Anything that wasn't meta was ridiculed into the ground, and any play would be ridiculed over and over

[mighty stump]

If people were calling bad things bad, I wouldn't exactly call it ridiculing as opposed to stating facts

A lot of players approach competitive as if it were still the same as the regular game

Unfortunately, it's not

[willow vault]

For the most part the vgc community is pretty good in comparison to other competitive scenes I’ve been apart of

[sharp cobalt]

They wouuldnt call it bad, they would go 'LMFAOOOOOO LOOK AT THAT TEAM'

[mighty stump]

There is only so much leeway that's able to be given to casual players that do not want to work on the fundamentals and skipping to the good parts of the game

[sharp cobalt]

In the lobby chat. over. And over. Its demoralizing, dehumanizing

[mighty stump]

Dehumanising is a bit of a stretch

[sharp cobalt]

Really? In a 40 turn game, having every play, every set, every move being treated like that? You don't feel like you matter to them at all. Nothing gets done about it

[willow vault]

You really don’t want to see the cod lobbies at like 2am, that’s dehumanising, vgc is generally pretty kind group of people I’ve found

[willow vault]

40 turns? Is this singles?

[sharp cobalt]

But Im not talking about VGC, Im talking about LvLs in showdown sideservers

[mighty stump]

I mean, with several available options to ignore/report people

[willow vault]

Oh

[sharp cobalt]

Yeah lets ignore and report the only other league members, and 20 at that, with staff that does nothing about it

[mighty stump]

Or why bother staying in the one format when others are readily available lol

[sharp cobalt]

Cuz I love monotoype, despite grass type being objectively one of the worst types for it

Most of my own league members were nice and fun to banter with, and respectful

[mighty stump]

And I would ignore and report 20+ people. You should see my blocklist on socials.

Cause it's about keeping your own peace

I never even speak to my opponents/other online people if I don't personally know them via a league/discord

Names do not register to me; PMs are blocked; chats deactivated

[sharp cobalt]

Sounds lonely to me at times

[mighty stump]

Then decide: be less lonely to interact with 20+ assholes or be more lonely keeping to a closer circle of people

Online randoms are rarely respectful, internet anonymity provides too much of a mask for people

[sharp cobalt]

I think there's more options than that

[mighty stump]

Plus it's easy to judge people based on first impressions

I'm personally extremely comfortable within myself hence I have no need of anothers approval/liking. People are going to dislike you if they want to.

[sharp cobalt]

I think not judging people is naive

Making snap judgments is kind of a survival instinnct

[mighty stump]

I think it's silly to allow another to have that much influence on your own personal feelings too

[sharp cobalt]

Sadly, thats how my brain works

[mighty stump]

It's an insult to the self to take in such garbage

[sharp cobalt]

I cant shut off outside noise, judgment, etc

And it usually takes me time to get over what happens, even if the other person is legitiimately unkind and disrespectful

You can think its silly, but everyone has different formative moments and differently working minds. Part of that is beautiful. Part of that is demoralizing. But that is humanity I suppose.

Enough philosophy, Ima get myself lunch

[mighty stump]

Humanity needs to grow up

[sharp cobalt]

Humanity needn't do anything, it'll get rid of itself either way

[solid frigate]

i just walked in and wtf happened.

[sharp cobalt]

Philosophy took a dark turn

[solid frigate]

yeah just be yourself,idk how to expect him

[sharp cobalt]

How to expect who?

I wish game freak and the Pokémon company would stop playing and release a legendary bug mon or bug/dragon already..

[chrome knot]

wish that “team” would burn in hell

[autumn vault]

https://pokepast.es/c64c1f2b8d598021 I feel like i lose to groudon and kyogre, what should i change? I am thinking of adding rillaboom for amoonguss and wellspring for chien pao

[autumn vault]

They used the wrong moves and ways to win, ofc they would rage quit

[willow vault]

As someone who used to play smash competitively, this community is a good one

[willow vault]

It was just surprising

[autumn vault]

As someone who used to play Mario Kart competitively, this is a good one compared it

[willow vault]

I don’t know that many people in the Mario kart community but I’ll believe you

[sharp cobalt]

Me who still plays League of Legends

[solid frigate]

yep same

[willow vault]

The answer is just yep, nothing more is needed

[autumn vault]

The Mario Kart Wii competitive community is very toxic and 8DX is toxic only in the general chats

[solid frigate]

Ogerpon technically beats both Groudon and Kyogre

[willow vault]

Interesting

[autumn vault]

Why i thought of it

[autumn vault]

Someone literally got pissed at me because i said "i dont want to change subject" when there wasn't any going on

I would share screenshot but i left that server

[next stump]

goated game

[autumn vault]

I can rejoin to get the screenshot btw

If you really want me to

[solid frigate]

I'm facing a Caly S Team with Ogidoki,Bundle and Chi Yu

[sharp cobalt]

Sometimes, yes, but had a very toxic adc again today, so I left them

[autumn vault]

That is odd indeed

[willow vault]

Only bad story for me was a Lucas player in my home region, just really rude guy, nobody really liked playing him because he just shouted all set long at you, he wasn’t even good so he often went 0-2. I have never met a more childish adult in my life

[willow vault]

Interesting

[autumn vault]

I mean what did you expect from a Lucas player

[willow vault]

They were just a dick was all

[autumn vault]

They are annoying af to play against

[solid frigate]

TRICK ROOM ALERT HAHA

[sharp cobalt]

My friend plays Lucas

He's not childish tho

[solid frigate]

cool

[autumn vault]

The council shall (postively) decide your fate

[sharp cobalt]

If anything Im the childish one, but I main Peach

[autumn vault]

I main Steve Aegis and Dedede

[solid frigate]

i main Greninja,Aegis and Toon Link lol

bro the Calyrex S Team let me freely set up with Terapagos

[willow vault]

I main dk in this game

[chrome knot]

mkwii is only toxic at the highest level

[autumn vault]

That is true

[sharp cobalt]

MKwii felt like peak MK to me

[chrome knot]

that is bc d1 players are freaks

tho idk how much of competitive you actually know

[autumn vault]

I have heard a lot of stories about the community

[chrome knot]

bc ur not in gsc lounge etc

[solid frigate]

Y E S

[autumn vault]

I used to

[sharp cobalt]

I feel so heard

[willow vault]

I think double dash is a more interesting concept but Wii, is the best in my opinion

[autumn vault]

Lets just say life and wanting better mental health led me to leaving those servers

[chrome knot]

HA me af

i was sat pretty in d2 ready to jump into d1 but i decided i had enough tbh

[willow vault]

And now we play competitive Pokemon, what an interesting journey

[autumn vault]

Yup

[solid frigate]

i 3-0 a Caly S team and he ragequit

[chrome knot]

competitive pokemon has been awesome to me so idm

[autumn vault]

I still play MKW from time to time but pokemon is more enjoyable

[chrome knot]

this

[sharp cobalt]

VGC?

[chrome knot]

yes

bc i travelled for regionals to see my friends and that was fun

[willow vault]

If I could join any competitive scene it’s probably like tekken, I just love the fighting styles but I have never played a traditional fighting game and also don’t have the money to either so, yeah

[chrome knot]

what lounge tiers could you see..?

[autumn vault]

I had a skill issue back then

I have gotten better

[chrome knot]

oh were you tier 1 main i feel bad for you ngl

tier 1 is literally a worldwide and people are mean

[solid frigate]

252 SpA Calyrex-Shadow Psychic vs. +2 252 HP / 12 SpD Terapagos-Stellar through Light Screen: 21-25 (7.8 - 9.3%) -- possibly the worst move ever

Pfft-

[autumn vault]

I only played 1 Lounge event and i got a terrible amount

[chrome knot]

ohhh

[autumn vault]

Atleas teammate didn't care much

[chrome knot]

fair

[autumn vault]

They werent toxic, no one in the event was

[willow vault]

From what I hear from many games apparently Frankfurt servers are consistantly the most toxic but honestly I think people are usually the nicest to me in that server

[solid frigate]

252 SpA Tera Fighting Calyrex-Shadow Tera Blast (80 BP) vs. +2 252 HP / 12 SpD Terapagos-Stellar through Light Screen: 37-45 (13.8 - 16.8%) -- possible 6HKO

I can't lmao
Bro that Caly S team let me set up 2 calm minds and let me snowball his team-

[chrome knot]

my EU friends made NA accounts bc they hate eu servers that much😭

on valorant^^

[autumn vault]

The only time i went to the gen chat was when i made a (factually wrong) suggestion and someone pinged me, it ended as in the players reviewing my skill and i said some things they liked (they reacted with 🔥 )

[solid frigate]

me who is in EU server:first time?

[willow vault]

Man I love playing eu, na is so different for me, I don’t like playing na servers

[chrome knot]

i was like lounge addict a few seasons ago

hit rt diamond then burnt out lmao

[solid frigate]

anyways,Yep Caly S is a Joke to Terapagos when i set up

[autumn vault]

Only played 1 match in MKW Lounge, i played like 40 8DX events and was stuck in iron 1

And thay is why i have beef with MK8DX

[chrome knot]

pfft

[autumn vault]

Luck treated me like shit, it is the reason why i stopped playing it, it was too luck based

[chrome knot]

i hate 8dx bruh im like silver 2

I can just slap goggles and then i can win

And not on azumarill

Or use my H-Goodra from the chestnaught raids

Nearly done with the Tentacruel raid

[solid frigate]

my team is done

[autumn vault]

Still doing the tentacruel raid to increase Pelipper's level to get Hurricane

And grind tera raids to get the tera shards needed to change teras before i do EVs

I will just not do Tentacruel's raid

[solid frigate]

i just do Abilities>Levels>IVs>EVs>Moves>Tera(Sometimes forgot)

But eh i just throw them to level 100

[chrome knot]

Levels > Moves > EVs > Tera > Abilities(bc i forgor to do this in the beginning)

[autumn vault]

Levels > Moves > Tera > Abilities > EVs

[solid frigate]

i just do it weirdly

[chrome knot]

mine is dependent on did i do IVs last or did i do tera last last time lmfao

bc im either saved @ montenevera or medali

[solid frigate]

i do the Tera Last cuz i want the Basis of the Pokemon to be fully establihed

welp when 2 restricted throws into the mix,i need to make Lunala so-

[chrome knot]

@autumn vault is why im just saying let me do it (!!)

[solid frigate]

holy shi

[chrome knot]

yay for item printer seeds

[solid frigate]

i might ask you to make my Lunala once i need to

[chrome knot]

yus

ill be around

[solid frigate]

cool

cuz 2 restricted i might bring Terapagos Lunala

anyways time to take a shower before i brainstorm any ideas

[autumn vault]

You grind more than 99% of the RPG fanbases

[solid frigate]

lol

[autumn vault]

Well i would send pokepaste but i updated them on PC and i am on my phone

[craggy dagger]

[autumn vault]

https://pokepast.es/e94516f2ea97ec12 Pokepaste btw, Chien Pao and Amoonguss wont be in the final team, instead it's wellspring ogerpon and Rillaboom, also Zekrom should have 60 defense and 12 attack instead because that tanks glacial lance

I just use standard sets for them

And Urshifu is already trained in evs moves teras etc. Also i cant be online for now

[solid frigate]

hmmmmmm

[willow vault]

hmmmmmmmmm

[autumn vault]

Why do you hmmmmm?

[willow vault]

Because someone else hmmmmmm first

[autumn vault]

Not you, it is directed to Torrent

[rustic mountain]

[solid frigate]

i was thinking

[autumn vault]

Thinking what?

[willow vault]

[autumn vault]

What do the people here think, what is a better tera for Zekrom, Fairy Fire or Electric? I will vote on Fairy but you can argue for the other ones

[solid frigate]

it is fairy ik

[autumn vault]

Zekrom is an Electric Dragon type

[willow vault]

Fairy, both the others maintain a ground weakness

[solid frigate]

Sludge Bomb over pollen puff?

or you want heal?

[willow vault]

Just heal your partner with sludge bomb

[autumn vault]

Fairy: Immune to dragon moves
Fire: Blocks burns and resists fairy and ice
Electric: Bolt Strike and Fusion bolt go brrr

[solid frigate]

I am just-

[willow vault]

You can’t heal your Pokémon with sludge bomb?

Somethings wrong with your amoongus clearly

[autumn vault]

Which one?

Mine or someone else's

[willow vault]

I’m talking to torrent

[autumn vault]

Oh right

[solid frigate]

I mean Pollen Puff for Healand Damage or Sludge Bomb with MORE DAMAGE but no heal

[willow vault]

I guess your amoongus doesn’t work properly, mine heals my Pokemon with sludge bomb

[solid frigate]

[willow vault]

[autumn vault]

😂

[willow vault]

It heals them so well it brings out a new mon

I feel Like it would,if Storm Drain Gastro is not in SV

[autumn vault]

Who made this?

[brazen bough]

has anyone run zapfish

[solid frigate]

Wolfey-

[autumn vault]

Damn

[brazen bough]

what are your opins on zapfish if you have?

[sharp cobalt]

Probs like Icy Wind, Draco Meteor, Muddy Wa'a and then Protect/Taunt/Helping Hand?

[chrome knot]

heheyaaa how are ya

[craggy dagger]

school TwT

[solid frigate]

Protect seems better

[sharp cobalt]

Better get to using my 3 shiny Tatsugiris

[autumn vault]

Btw if you want to do it now i am available and on SV

[solid frigate]

but rn i don't know if its gonna work

[willow vault]

Real question is why not use gastro

[solid frigate]

if Gastro does not Exists in SV then Storm Drain Tatsu works

[chrome knot]

[little plank]

Only restricted I see over 1400 is calyrex shadow calyrex ice and koraidon

That is literally it

[visual dirge]

How

[little plank]

1400 on showdown that is

[visual dirge]

Oh and on comp

I use comp skeledirge

[little plank]

I might see very very rarely a turtle but it's like 1 in 20 games

[visual dirge]

U mean squirtel

[little plank]

I mean. Terapagosa

[visual dirge]

Ah

[willow vault]

No miraidon?

[little plank]

Nope never see it

I think he banned in comp in game atm

[willow vault]

Reg g

[calm narwhal]

Hey guys

[little plank]

Regulation g allows 1 restricted

[visual dirge]

What

[calm narwhal]

What Tera would you use for a rain team duraludon sorry if I spelled it wrong

Archeudlon*

[visual dirge]

Elec

[calm narwhal]

Tera electric Oooh that kinda makes sense does it resist fighting?

[willow vault]

Elec makes sense

[visual dirge]

No

[little plank]

But I'd say it's 50% caly-s 20% caly ice 20% koraidon 10% turtle

[calm narwhal]

Is it 1X on fighting?

[willow vault]

If you want a fighting resist maybe fairy?

[calm narwhal]

Honestly that’s not bad what is it 4X

[willow vault]

Yeah it’s neutral

[willow vault]

Nah just a 2x weakness

[calm narwhal]

Well let me see because it does make a lot of sense you just don’t want to get Ohko by a fighting type move

[autumn vault]

https://pokepast.es/8817228bceb29a8b sorry it took a bit

[visual dirge]

Is raging bolt restrict

[calm narwhal]

Maybe fairy then

[willow vault]

It actually looks decent

[willow vault]

Funny thing is you can buy it in the uk if you really want it

[autumn vault]

A bit disgusted at the color, looks like bad food ngl

[willow vault]

I mean atleast it’s a real food

[visual dirge]

[timber falcon]

Min speed specs/charcoal eruption

[solid frigate]

imagine Quiver Dance Iron Moth-

[visual dirge]

Yawn and overheat

[timber falcon]

heat wave too right?

[polar canyon]

Overheat eject pack is cool

[visual dirge]

It depends overheat with eject pack

[willow vault]

Nah idbp I think it gets both

[polar canyon]

Btw intimidate switching you out before drought activates is a showdown bug

It works fine in game and you even get a free switch

[sharp cobalt]

Whats the best starter of each type in VGC currently? Im guessing Incin, Prim and Rillaboom?

[timber falcon]

cant i run sitrus sets?

[visual dirge]

Inceneror

[willow vault]

Probably, don’t know for water starters tbh

[timber falcon]

water shifu > prim

nvm i read wrong

[polar canyon]

Not a starter

[solid frigate]

Incin,Rilla and thats it,Water Starters are not that good,but Primarina is rn the best Water Starter

[sharp cobalt]

I was boutta say

[visual dirge]

Water Shufu he does to flutter man

[polar canyon]

Wait are you thinking about a pledge team

[sharp cobalt]

No, I was just curious

[polar canyon]

Tell that to scarf tera water surging strikes

[sharp cobalt]

Besides, any pledge team would want fast monns, and none of the above are fast ish

[solid frigate]

yep that OHKOs

[polar canyon]

Inteleon is kinda fast

[visual dirge]

But flutet man she has that past future boost item

[polar canyon]

Inteleon might be my favorite water starter

[willow vault]

Don’t suggest a pledge team

[autumn vault]

Tailwind

[timber falcon]

thoughts?

[polar canyon]

Definitely not but like if I did it would be inteleon

[autumn vault]

Good

[sharp cobalt]

Yeah, but you'd probs run Serperior (fast and relatively bulky), Inteleon is just fast, and Cinderace

[solid frigate]

252+ Atk Urshifu-Rapid-Strike Surging Strikes (3 hits) vs. 44 HP / 164 Def Flutter Mane on a critical hit: 135-162 (99.2 - 119.1%) -- approx. 87.5% chance to OHKO
Kek

[timber falcon]

of torkoal btw

[polar canyon]

Why +4 spdef?

[sharp cobalt]

For a pledge team. I think,

[solid frigate]

also Tera Steel/Poison

[visual dirge]

Ppl run bulky mane

[autumn vault]

Casual team

[timber falcon]

extra bulk

[polar canyon]

And people run tera water

[willow vault]

That is the standard mane

[visual dirge]

How can Pokémon live again in battle

With this move is it strong

[polar canyon]

What

[solid frigate]

ummmm....

Proceeds to have flash backs of my Urshifu OHKOing Multiple Flutter Mane

[polar canyon]

Like revival blessing?

[willow vault]

Are you talking about revival blessing?

[visual dirge]

Yes

I call it the Jesus move

[willow vault]

It’s niche at best

[autumn vault]

Dont use it

[solid frigate]

Pawmot and Rabsca just not cut it

[sharp cobalt]

Theyre not bad pokemon, just bad in vgc

[autumn vault]

Officially no

[visual dirge]

Because it brings Mons back from death

[polar canyon]

Very often around the world yeah

[visual dirge]

Yes it’s ranked battles in game

[willow vault]

@solid frigate baby turtle

[polar canyon]

It doesn't make the user bring itself back from death tho and that's why Jesus did

I would like to hug it, let me do it pls

[glossy patrol]

Where i can get info about this?

[autumn vault]

Damn it

[willow vault]

Now that makes my rep so much funnier

[visual dirge]

Imagine u are a Pelipper u create rain just that a lightning hits u and u die

[willow vault]

Happens a lot

[autumn vault]

We aren't birb

[solid frigate]

thats interesting,but Fairy feels better cuz Bulletproof already immune to Poison right?

[willow vault]

I like birb

[dapper crag]

Ability: Bulletproof

This Pokemon is immune to bullet moves.

SableyeBot version 4.27.0

[polar canyon]

Bulletproof is just better than overgrow without grass moves but yeah

[visual dirge]

Imagine having to look up bulletproof

[autumn vault]

True

[visual dirge]

Bulletproof is always better

[polar canyon]

What sprite is that

[solid frigate]

look,i am not a computer,i need to check shit

[willow vault]

I believe it’s one of the alcreamie

I just randomly clicked

[polar canyon]

Chesnaught should have sturdy

[whole ibex]

Having Doubts about Skeledirge. I don’t know who to pair it with.

[dapper crag]

[visual dirge]

No he should have grassy terrain

[willow vault]

April fools edition

[polar canyon]

Right now you generally don't wanna use it but if you do I think you gotta account for groudon, kyogre, landorus, flutter mane, calyrex shadow, incineroar, so pretty much every team will have a counter to it

[dapper crag]

https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/afd-shiny/alcremie-lemoncream.png

[willow vault]

Yeah alcremie and April fools edition

[whole ibex]

I was hoping for Skele would pop off in this format

[dapper crag]

https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/afd/gliscor.png

[willow vault]

Gliscor

[polar canyon]

Aw it's not funny

I thought it would be a joke about spamming hazards

Boring

[autumn vault]

https://pokepast.es/56db5049488f06a5
Which one is better? I think both are solid teams but i would like some opinions

[dapper crag]

[polar canyon]

I'm gonna piss on the moon

[autumn vault]

Best AFD Sprite

AFD = April Fools Day

[autumn vault]

·

[whole ibex]

I mean you do have 5 other slots.

[sharp cobalt]

Do you run a Hydrapple

[whole ibex]

Skele does do well into Clay-I, Firepon, Rilla, Zacian, Koriadon and a few others I can’t recall

[whole ibex]

No that was reg f

[stray badger]

I wish there was an easier way to tell what pokemon the AFD sprites are

[stray badger]

Like, my best guess is that this is Dracovish

Are all the Galar fossils Lego actually?

[dapper crag]

https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/afd/arctovish.png

[sharp cobalt]

Yeah

[dapper crag]

https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/afd/dracozolt.png

[stray badger]

It's funnier now

[solid frigate]

fighting against a Terapagos Team with Flutter Mane And Rapid Urshifu

[stray badger]

Are they all illegal building techniques too?

[noble hatch]

are mythicals ever allowed in competitive?

[strange fjord]

in vgc, once a while ago. but that was more of a one time thing.

in smogon? yeah

also, looking through my replays and found my earliest rage quit. https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2024reggbo3-2102020650?p2
anyone got any short or long replays to share? saw a long replay yesterday. I don't got any long replays but here a short one.

[sharp cobalt]

Bamboozled

[autumn vault]

·

[willow vault]

Already uploaded my shortest match

So don’t have much else to post

[willow vault]

Mythicals, no

[strange fjord]

man, I don't wanna scroll up to find it on mobile. do you happen to have the replay on hand?

[willow vault]

I’ll see

[willow vault]

here

[strange fjord]

bruh. he grassy glide into a 4x resist...

[willow vault]

Presumably it was a misclick but it was fast

[strange fjord]

yeah

fake out probably what he wanted

[willow vault]

I would assume so

[strange fjord]

big sad for them

[autumn vault]

Very sad

[willow vault]

Enormously upsetting

[autumn vault]

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2024reggbo3-2111370803-1vv1oeuqq45gjvqax4bwhxp9nqm1ay1pw

What was this team

[willow vault]

Very nice

A lot of fake out

[autumn vault]

Match 2 fake out spam pivoting incin and boom

[solid frigate]

alright so my team rn is weak to Amoonguss Stalling

[willow vault]

I faced that earlier it’s pain

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2024reggbo3-2111377994-f5c6erxl637q6jf69cbtjxnffnusy6fpw, what

Now this really is my strangest battle ever

[autumn vault]

https://tenor.com/view/good-morning-funny-animals-insomnia-cat-tired-crazy-cute-gif-13188185

[willow vault]

Didn’t know what to fake out so they said I’m going out on my own terms

They didn’t play game 2, colour me surprised

[autumn vault]

https://pokepast.es/5523ef3c7b13d045
https://pokepast.es/9b378a02ce80783f
Which is better?

[willow vault]

I thought you said earlier you were gonna use rillaboom and Ogerpon? Why you asking?

Both seem good

[autumn vault]

Just want opinions on both teams

[willow vault]

Chien pao really helps your damage output but rillaboom really helps against miraidon

[autumn vault]

The one with chien pao and mushroom don't do great against the infamous wather setters 2

[willow vault]

That makes sense

[autumn vault]

Miraidon is a MU i don't need to worry about with Amoonguss
With a redirection pokemon like wellspring i need to account for it

[willow vault]

Fair enough

Not even when it’s paired with hearthflame which obliterates your grass types?

[autumn vault]

With amoonguss it keeps zekrom safe from the meteors and D-Pulse

Wellspring beats fire types

[willow vault]

Fair enough

Does it beat grass types?

[autumn vault]

Both grass types beat Kyogre and Groudon who i noticed to be my most annoying MUs along with Ice Horse

[autumn vault]

Hurricane and flare blitz, i think so

[willow vault]

Then if they are annoying with the double grass go for double grass

[willow vault]

Your Ogerpon has those moves? I think you may be hacking

[autumn vault]

pelipper and incineroar respectively

I meant both of them

Not ogerpon

[willow vault]

I know I memeing since I was referring to Ogerpon when asking if it beats grass types

[autumn vault]

Well, it is the basic set that outspeeds Landorus and can tank a sludge bomb from it

Very basic moveset

[willow vault]

God I hate weather ball Pelipper

[autumn vault]

Big Damage with 100% accuracy?

[willow vault]

Yeah

And I use Heatran, it’s big sad

[autumn vault]

Hydro Pump is not worth it when it has a bigger chance to miss and does barely more damage

Plus Weather Ball can be used if the weather has been replaced, unlike pump in sun

[willow vault]

I know I meant weather ball is annoyingly good
