https://pokepast.es/875f1a7a4556444b. This team feels really good, considerably better than what I used before, probably because Miraidon is really good, I think Im like 7-0 in bo3 (set wise), I think I dropped 2 games so far (didn't save all the replays, Im sorry)
Unlike other players, atleast you dont go overkill with specs miraidon
Miraidon Evs are not perfect
I just went for special attack bump and put the rest in bulk
Speed is to outspeed max speed torn
Need to do some bulk calcs but it feels good for rn
Thanks
crephace has given 1 Gen Rep to lycopoky
Honestly very interesting sets
Some reg d sets can’t lie
Leftovers Heatran and Jolly scarf Landorus
Outspeed certain things
Then update them to the current format
They are working rn, I don’t have the time to make better sets I got projects to complete will make spreads better when projects are done
Seems fair
I have my competitive team nearly ready so now i have so much time to do stuff without worrying about it too much
Landorus speed was specific actually, wanted to outpace max speed miraidon (non scarf)
So I did tweak the sets I kinda just forgot I did
I need to fix that torn spread that’s still a focus sash spread my bad
ok
good interesting or bad interesting?
Mixed interesting
I can live with that
I can see them work but they are very questionable
Which spread need an update? I’ll see what I can fix
I’d assume Heatran is one
Heatran
Yeah
And Landorus-Therian
Ok
Btw what is ogerpon EV'd for?
Honestly I don’t remember
Low speed on it is just a drawback
I’ll see if I can get a better spread
valiant tornadus and Miraidon all have good spreads
Cool
But the other 3's spreads is very questionable
Yeah that’s fair
What would you suggest to improve upon for each, bulk on Heatran, speed on Ogerpon. What should I target
I just got jumped by specs groudon wtf
What
Heatran remove earth power for flash cannon
To hit fairies?
That and STAB
Yeah fair
Will-O-Wisp doesn't seem to be that good, you can remove it for earth power but i think testing it first is the best course of action before applying the change
Will-o-wisp has been really good tbh
If it is doing good then you can keep it
Halving almost any pokemons attack sounds pretty valuable in most situations ngl
It should have 90 accuracy
Thunder wave and toxic have 90 accuracy so why is wisp 85
Ok I’ve increased Heatrans physical bulk slightly to ensure survival against sacred sword Zacian at +1
Did you change it because that happened to you
No I lived just security more than anything
I've had a 6.3% roll kill right after I made the calcs and changed my ogerpon
It's pretty disappointing for that to happen
Specs spread astral barrage
Unless it was modest
Do people run modest?
I should try using calyrex
You think I should run full investment into bulk?
The best way to know how to beat something is experiencing the counter first hand
For Heatran
What's the set?
wisp, heat wave, protect and flash cannon
I dont think so
Ok
What else are you worried about it surviving?
Kyogre, when I grass Tera, want to eat an ice beam
If you want you can calc for sword of ruim sacred sword zacian
Can it even live that?
I think i will build a calyrex shadow team with Weezing + Regigigas
neat
Without Tera I always die to sacred sword + sword of ruin at +1
Because Regigigas is my 3rd favourite legend and Calyrex shadow is unnafected by neutralizing gas
Well yeah weezing seems nice rn
From jolly 252 attack (do they run absolute attack?)
Does it block crimson pulse and the miraidon one?
*Orichalcum Pulse
And also Hadron Engine
Fighting/Dragon
Orichalcum Pulse
100/135/115/85/100/135
670
While this Pokemon is active, Abilities have no effect. This Ability activates before hazards and other Abilities take effect. Does not affect the As One, Battle Bond, Comatose, Disguise, Gulp Missile, Ice Face, Multitype, Neutralizing Gas, Power Construct, RKS System, Schooling, Shields Down, Stance Change, Tera Shift, Zen Mode, or Zero to Hero Abilities.
With adamant absolute max damage it has a 43% chance to OHKO if I Tera and they call it with behemoth blade, sacred sword does like 55-65% at absolute max attack
Why does calyrex even get to ignore it
Crazy
They made calyrex as broken as possible
It doesn't even need the ability to the broken but they gave it special moxie just to also make it snowball extremely fast
And you can't get rid of it
Oh well
Loses to snarl ig
Jesus Heatran eats a hit from Calyrex shadow, it takes like 33-41% with a bulked out spread
Even eats a specs hit comfortably, I’m impressed
Flutter is now discount caly shadow
Nah it has some utility too
I mean what does it do that calyrex doesn't
Icy wind?
Sun boost
but the main difference is that Flutter Can be used everywhere soooo
Being annoying as fuck in the regulations before G
F and E dont count
Idk
Ok
188 for most wellspring,idk about Hearthflame
Max?
thanks
crephace has given 1 Gen Rep to morrispxg456
so just as much as I can afford to without sacrificing to much bulk or power
Anyone have a pokemon they need a new Tera in exchange for one of my pokemon getting Tera fairy
Found a hearthflame set
good
nice
Surely it's not a bad idea to swap protect for calm mind on ursaluna right
?
welp time to cook meals for my family rn,I'll see you all in a bit
Because getting drops from parting shot and having nothing to do but switch is annoying
ursaluna?
Blood moon
I don't have ursaluna
Yea
then ok I guess, probably ask more people I don't know much about ursaluna
Should I use farigiraf or indeedee
does leave it a bit exposed though
farigiraf unless you have an expanding force user
Fari and amoonguss?
makes sense
I'm thinking about indeedee because it's redirection + prio stopping
Idk if I want tera ghost on necrozma because it's gonna die to caly s
it also then protects your opponents mons from priority, so if they have a calyrex-s you can't sucker punch it
so they have no need to tera if you run expanding force
It does protect me even when it leaves the field
psychic terrain even
it gets removed by both rilla and miraidon
As much as I can use it to remove rilla and miraidon
It's gonna be awkward when both me and the opponent keep indeedee and miraidon in the back waiting to send it last
I'm honestly not sure if my team needs Hearhflame or Wellspring
i can't remove Amoongus
What are you struggling with matchup wise?
Anyone got good calyrex teams?
No
I refuse to join the dark side, even if they have cookies
Amoonguss seems like such a strong mon right now
It is
i'm fine with The Weather Trio rn, but Any stall teams with Amoonguss ruins my chance of Winning
I see amoonguss with caly I and I cry
Then hearthflame probably will help, it’s better at breaking open teams namely against amoongus
Hear me out, use calyrex, take notes on what you lose to the most while using it, stop using it, and start using what killed calyrex
But obviously some matchups will be harder when you lose wellspring
Most of the time I lose to it, its in cts, in ots when I know its set I usually win
no need to change EVs?
same with me
You’ll want to change evs
I JUST MADE THE EVs-
It’s a different mon I’m sorry, but the wellspring evs are good
Me get gunned
So win against it and don’t take notes, genius
i did use Wellspring EVs on it and i think its fine,i'll test
Look under that
Guns? This isn’t palworld
Me get gunned because i used the cleffa gun on the campfire
Oh
But we will use a firing squad if you use Calyrex

Palkia:That was not me
Btw i got the Cleffa Gun from the Unite server
Just saving this for later
Nice
Origins: Unite Server
Who sent it: Lycopoky but from Team Flare
Well
Any amoonguss sets?
That’s so disappointing
Is that the back sprite?
No just the April fools version of clefable
Birb
Bad theme
Turned it around:D
Ngl
why the april fools sprite on Dialga looks not like april fools
:/
:v
Because it's based on a real thing, the joke is that they never used it again
That’s good
Greninja spiked mario in SSBU
I love gimping people like that in smash
True
even worse,Hydro Pump.
This is bad
Luigi-a
What is this
As a Dedede player i love spiking enemies, especially with how slow that penguin is, wish he used his forgotten land/RTDLDX model
Turtle soup
Sad boi
🤮
What is this
Terapagos
You know you want to try turtle soup
Hell nah
The why try drawing this?
insert Jack Black
Because it is too hard to draw perfectly
Oh fair
Turtles all the way down
So you want to eat turtle soup?
That’s nice
No

i need turtle Christmas Tree
I don’t
Don't use my trickery against me

Don’t threaten me, every meme you post just gives me more weapons
where is the KFC reference

They literally made 2 sprites for every pokemon and a recolor for each
All of them have back sprites too
Obama if he was snow:
I love the obamasnow emote it may be my favourite
Obama has joined forces with kyurem-white what do we do?
Send a +6 attack +6 speed outrage Zekrom
No way
It will maul through every single one of 'em
Then he realises it focus sash
EV it to tank a Blizzard
Why give me bad memories-
Solution complete

Or slap a sash/Yachi berry
Why Kyurem black old?
That is normal Kyurem
Kyurem is just old
Kyurem:Back in my da-
This is Kyurem Black
Is was gonna say that
Snow has some interesting beliefs
Communism at its finest
Kyurem back
PALKIA WHAT HAPPENED
I’ve seen this before it’s so good
I used Palkia on April fools nice morning that
Dialga has Squidward reaction
No Mafia meme?
It ate too much McDonalds that is what happened
H O N S E
You when I offer turtle soup
I did use the April Fools, right?
No idea
But I want to eat it
No yeah the joke is just Palkia-Origin
I think it’s jaws messed up
gun him down bois we need Turtle Protection plan
Is that blastoice?
That invented the letter O
We may end up retiring tofu at this rate
Mega Blastoise
Oh
Yes
Nice
eh 50/50
I like killing Ghost Horses tho
The worst part about it is Calyrex-Ice but outside of that its going great
I’m enjoying more that I’m not losing all the time
Anyone want to Bo3?
I have successfully made the chat into AFD mode
I want to test something
mine is Koraidon,Caly Ice,Zamazenta and Stall teams
Stall in VGC is just,Idk wtf
·
ok that actually is sick
He weak little arms can't hold the lance
·
Good.

Got it

Those were some good games
That was very close
Do you know if the crit mattered game 2?
I think i could have protected Zekrom there and bring in wellspring
It didn’t fair enough
What is your miraidon's bulk?
148hp and 36 def
Just random amounts of bulk tbh, I had not solved the bulk I wanted
+1 36+ Atk Teravolt Zekrom Dragon Claw vs. 148 HP / 36 Def Miraidon: 210-248 (108.2 - 127.8%) -- guaranteed OHKO
Fair enough
+1 36+ Atk Teravolt Zekrom Dragon Claw vs. 148 HP / 36 Def Miraidon on a critical hit: 314-372 (161.8 - 191.7%) -- guaranteed OHKO
Crit did not matter
Heatran was so good
Game 2 was terrifying
Wisp is very good
Especially in a meta with so many clear amulet users
That’s why I wanted it
Atleast you demostrated it
That adjustment game 2 was really good I really struggled with the speed disadvantage
I am the type of person to believe in test results more than what people reccomend
Thanks
crephace has given 1 Gen Rep to lycopoky
You had a few chances to burn, you didn't
Yeah same, but those sets were awful before in all fairness
Nerves tbh
also isn't like Zekrom more like an Underdog rn
True
anyways
like you did not expect it to be good but its still decent
I did click will-o-wisp when you fake outed me game 2
I expected it to perform decently, it did slightly better than my expectations
There are still better legends
More than anything I was surprised I managed to keep up it didn’t look great from team preview for me, so many water types
It is surprisingly well balanced
Anyway gg’s but I gotta make dinner
I saw
Ok, bye
i already made my dinner for my family lol
If anyone wonders why all of my members have normal names and Zekrom has 3 words in it, i can explain
lmao
my farigiraf is just named as N E C K
The reason why it has this is because in Fire Emblem Awakening (spoiler ahead) ||Grima is the Fell Dragon (Also pretty black, which is why i named Zekrom after it) that was awakened from a 1000 year slumber and wants to create a future without humanity, as usual for an antagonist it fails and dies||
fair point,I did also named My Restricted from a JRPG Game
probably should have spoiler'd that
dude,mine is literally a spoiler to XC2
We all saw Pneuma in Smash Bros as an alt to Pyra/Mythra
but i mean the lore stuff
I don’t nickname mons
Oh yeah,Pneuma can warp Reality Itself.
meanwhile Terapagos:Make the Professors travel back in time
they both technically have reality Warping Shenanagins
I will name my Terapagos Naga (a female but also has ||time travelling powers||)
nice
yeah i already want to name My Terapagos Pneuma cuz i just can't Unsee it
Naga in Fire Emblem Awakening ||Sent Lucina back in time to rewrite history as in her timeline Grima is about to destroy life so Naga sends Lucina and other characters back in time to rewrite history and prevent Grima from screwing over the timeline||
huh
So basically those 3 have reality warping shenanigans
Trash
Me if I was a turtle
||Pneuma is Pyra and Mythra's ascended form. She is the combined true form of Pyra and Mythra, merging both of their personalities into one.
As the embodiment of the true power of the Aegis, Pneuma is capable of rewriting the physical rules of her surroundings, resulting in all type of feats, from light-speed movement to slowing down time itself.||
Very interesting
||yep Pneuma is Basically a goddess at this point||
and if i give Terapagos a Clear Amulet,it fits even more
||Naga also can bless other character with power, like in the awakening ritual and is the Divine Dragon, although her power isn't enough to put down Grima for good, Grima is on their own level honestly||
wait if Naga vs Pneuma vs Grima who wins
Pneuma, she can delete both from existence
But like Naga said "A god's power isn't enough to put down another god"
Maybe Grima can win
Naga doesn't have a physical form
true
i know FE.
i mean Pneuma+Rex literally send A Titan down
I don't know Xenoblade well but yeah that might be true, and i believe you
But that thing is the size of the moon or smth
||The reason Chrom Robin and the army beat Grima is because Naga teleported them onto their neck which is where the possesed robin from the bad timeline is, the weak spot||
ok so its kinda like the good ol fashion dragon kill right
||If the weak spot is killed, the whole dragon falls||
I’m in a good mood today I received my package
Sort of,|| not stabbing the neck but killing the possesed robin from the timeline where Grima nearly destroys the world||
||The Robin is possesed by Grima||
oh i see
Imagine if terapagos was a rock normal like the rumors said
what is it?
A mystery
Yep i am dead to Urshifu and Koraidon
|| Then bring Booster Speed flutter to murder urshifu and koraidon ||
||I like Spoilering, i was explaining lore||
Gotcha gotcha
||Explaining lore = Spoiler tag||
It is for a 3DS game in 2012/2013 but still
I must slap it on
i mean mine is from 2017 but technically thats the reason why Pneuma is not popular ;-;
Doesn't the game have like 3 million copies sold?
2.72 million
Close to 3 million, but damn i would not expect it to be that low
which is suprisingly low for that cuz all 3 xenoblade games are masterpieces
Just from this i can tell you played all 3
i did not play 1
In your opinion
2 is the most and 3 only lesser extent
Then why did you call 1 a masterpiece when you didn't play it?
because i saw the footage and stuff,i read lore :>
wen u win a game u have no business winning 
F
My opinion it’s a bit of a slog to play as it feels like a grind fest then when you complete the side missions you are crazy overleveled
whys that an f? we take those
oh
Relatable
Me vs Lyco
lol
Game 1 and 3 were very close
thats why i do main missions before side missions
i want a sense of challenge of not being overleveled
You deserved game 1 imo
Then game 3 wouldn't have existed
Yep
But yes it was very close
i think this person got too in their head, they had me pinned but then gave up that positioning
matches btw
nd it gave me like the narrowest possibility of getting the w
You think we get 0 iv items by the end of scarlet and violet ?
Hell nah
That’s annoying
Okay just gotta deal with 31 iv I guess
2-0 Joe

urshifu even with Attack Drop still did ton of damage-

crits bypass attack drop
ojh
Is everybody running speed + attack down nature on calyrex
Or is more people using SPA+ ATK down
Yes
Shadow
id imagine ud want timid so at worst ur speed tieing other csr, tho that is a miserable board state i try and avoid
im personally max speed timid
I know this is it big off topic but
What are you guys doing for Tera shards just running around the indigo disk over and over til you find the corresponding types ?
item printer, Blissey event raids when they come around
Look on the map, and complete raids. I don’t have the item printer but will use that
i had a bunch of materials from grinding previously and just did the item printer, also the glimmering charm from teal mask dex completion boosts the shard rate by quite a bit
takes like 4-5 raids to get 50 depending on the star amount
Glimmering charm is so good
yea havent really had to worry about shard grinding thankfully since that and the item printer
making them so low originally and u need 50 everytime to change was so much more miserable then swsh, i just use like 9-10 dmax candies once and im done
How do I access glimmering charge
gta read man
Took a bit for me
Yes it was a bit annoying but it isn't too bad
Reading is hard
Ye
Next regional in Indy is G
If it is the charm, yes
I don't go to tournaments because in my location we never get regionals
Exciting stuff
Prepare for a whole lot of stolen regional teams to take over the ladder
Drago
Let me make a prediction: StupidRex shadow will win the reg
low elo moment
Would you Nasty Plot a Gholdengo from China No 3 Shrek edition?
I am suffering from others stupidity
no its casual,even worse
Y not
the ivs are bad
Fair
Just bottle cap tho
i was like Why,I was Expecting a Dragon Dance-
it also isnt shiny, although that shiny is dodo lol
"The China No 3 Gholdengo has 69 attack IVs, it says nice"
Dragon Dance >>>>>>>>> Dragon Pulse Haxorus
bro STELLAR KROOKDILE
WHAT THE FU
Atleast it isn't as stupid
Im surprised peli is doing so well
but acid spray Elektross-
Its prob gonna be a early format thing tho
groudon is on fraud watch
Peli has a lot of good tools but I think people are just struggling to find the right partners
Yay Elektross
and we thought groudon was gonna be extemely dominant
Urshifu?
Ogerpon?
precipmiss blades
Zekrom? Maybe
Night Shade Chandelure.
Yep i lost hope
Humanity in a nutshell:
and i get a double protect lol
Yeah those are the obvious picks
But you’ve seen people have started taking Peli without even having another water type
1 word to represent humanity: Why
like genuinely,I faced 2 teams that does not do shit to my restricted team
One word to represent humanity: Mustard Leaf
2 words not 1
That’s 2 words
Nuh Uh
and now i full Kanto Squad, that is miserable
Correction: MustardLeaf
Golem,Electabuzz,Arbok,Magmar,Venusaur and Seadra
1 is after 1, dumbass

monke what does 1+1 equal

snomgun
Math'd him
Hot dog
wait is seadra still a water type?
oh wait it is
no wonder you think its 1 word
Case number 1
wha
Do you know it?
Wild shit
I'm literally burning casual players with Ogerpon=
That's not even a "bad" set. Just unusual.
seems this format remains to be somewhat diverse
Who are you talking to?
Not you.
This was the 187 person tournament too
Cool
Couldn't have agreed more
Oh I didn’t mean to say the ogerpon set was bad just the fact that it was grass
stop with the clef with a gun plz
Hey
I know English
Sodium chloride and all that bullshit
Clefgun spam
youre driving it into the ground
OK

Ok
Ok i will seriously stop
Finally a good team
Incin,Crown,Bundle,Miraidon,Peli and Sableeye
bundle mirai was overhyped
"Good"
But will I?
Crown on ETerrain is just inferior.
I was talking about myself
Bundle isn’t its best partner imo
I see nothing wrong here
at least is better than what i facing 3 matches before
yea its hearthflame imo
Agreed
You must continue
i dont event think its an eterrain mon
It so is
cuz the mons used on eterrain suck lol
I will shoot you with a clefgun ×2
Only one I used is valiant for wide guard + cc
I mean you're queuing into casual ladder and scrutinizing the effectiveness of your opponents' team based on selection of their six.
Fundamentally, you're in casual ladder so you're going to get a lot of people who don't give a squat about competitive.
There’s nothing wrong
But there’s no water types showing people are running peliper without water oger or Urshifu
You gotta question the logic of that.
yea valiant good, on eterrain
It wasn’t my meme in the first place
bruh why set up tailwind infront of Fari-
And it’s interesting to me
Miraidon be not as good rn basically cuz it's partner paradox mons
suck, yea
But you spam it into the ground
Really helps Heatran out
who is using heatran
Creph
who in the right mind,Tailwind infront of Fari
Then use other partners
why are you using heatran
Wisp and Bulk
Will-o-wisp, great typing and bulk
cough cough incineroar
This chat.
Cough cough, no
Not comparable
Heatran and Incineroar have 2 things in common: defensive typing and great stats
Heatran can invalidate some teams
yea incineroar is better
That is about it
because theres no one prepping for it
Depends what you need
ok
Heatran has better defensive typing but Incin is better overall
do you need wisp? go play incin with wisp
I know I wanted a defensive mon and Heatran fit my team better
Incin is supportive, heatran is offensive
honestly
the ground 4x weakness holds it back
Intimidate is a bit worse now that amulet exists
But 5 quad resistances help it
not when it has to tera infront of dirt
WAIT 5???
Iirc yes
Yep
I remember when hydreigon was that guy

you also hate urshifu
So does incin
So does incin
you're not wiping any of the big guys out

Heatran is Heatran
Incineroar is Incineroar
i regret coming in here
why does Mirai teams feel easy to beat for me-
Same for me
so bye, have fun with your fucking heatran
I gave reasons for why I use Heatran, incin may be better but I’m using Heatran
mr "so does incin" when incin is literaly better
Let him enjoy the lava cockroach man
Let me enjoy SpA landorus therian
like i get it Terapagos is just bulky against it
Bye, have a good day
Why are people so mad
Heatran and Incin have different roles
Knock off, parting shot, physical attacker, taunt, heatran has none of that
Uh oh he's having a stroke again
🤣
monke im trying not to be in here
Heatran is offensive
the pings are annoying so dont ping me
I just couldn’t be asked after a while, why can’t I use something I like
Incin is supportive
Huh?
because youre using it unoptimally
Incin is not really that offensive lmao
If you don’t want to be here, go
if you want wisp theres better mos for that
I cant use SpA Landorus without Drago telling me to use landorus i
because its better?
Let me use intimidate
my god,Beating Miraidon teams are suprsingly easy
It might be a very good thing
Most people just add future paradoxes and they really aren’t it
well if you want intimidate incin is right there
Besides there is hardly any intimidators that use SpA
Ground/Flying
Intimidate
89/145/90/105/80/91
600
Landorus
And it is nice to also avoid intimidate
that is going to hit everything like a wet noodle
It will hit hard with L-Orb and specs
I'm just weak to Koraidon,Zamzenta,Caly Ice and both Kyurems
105 on a generally more offensive mon isnt good, and you're wasting your time with it
If you want Wisp lmao
Tbh it's not as necessary as you think but if so
Sableye, Incineroar, hell offensive could be Harc
Damn
wow i hit as hard as a normal special attacker
Heatran ain't it for Wisp I'm sorry
without any boosts
Welp Terapagos is cool atleast
Cool
gholdengo is good into most of those
That's honestly just copium lmfao
but then tofu said Its a dead slot for my team so
i use Raging Bolt
well cuz dengo overlaps with terapagos so i get that
It was done before in dynamax formats, without Dmax it has potential
I'm pulling Raging Bolt out of the retirement Home
i feel like you could handle those with terapagos, i dont see how bolt helps you with those mu's
Both Miraidon and Terapagos Looks cool,Heck all the legendaries looks cool
ok but lando i wasnt relevant
They do indeed
idk then
True but Landorus Therian has intimidate and has more flexibility
Bolt kinda clutch me up
brother
Instead of L-Orb every time
if you're going to use lando t
you always scarf tera flying tera blast
or clear amulet
What i also meant by more flexibility
special lando t will hit like a wet noodle
Only one more week until reg G who we cooking with bois goirls and inbetweens
what part of that has not gotten to your head
So what we learned is not all the mons used are always optimal but we chose them for some reason and if it works well enough, it works well enough (unless for tourney then that’s different)
If Landorus Incarnate hits pretty good then specs Landorus Therian can hit hard just less than Incarnate
no
Turtl
lando i has more base spa than lando t
Zekrom
Miraidon
Only 10 more
lando i always hits harder, and no specs doesn't make up for it
that 10 really matters
'
While I do think that you probably shouldn't be looking to use Specs on Lando-T
omg
Tofu is orange again !!!
ill be back
Yeah
You probably have bigger issues on the team if you're looking for such a convoluted answer
But Lando I is just there
Plus, why does the coverage have to be SpA
Congrats on Devoncorp btw
tysm
tofu
That’s is massive
252+ SpA Choice Specs Landorus-Therian Earth Power vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Urshifu-Rapid Strike: 163-193 (92.6 - 109.6%) -- 56.3% chance to OHKO chance with no bulk and thats modest
Other intimidators, physically bulkier pokemon, not much else
252 SpA Life Orb Sheer Force Landorus Earth Power vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Urshifu-Rapid Strike: 179-212 (101.7 - 120.4%) -- guaranteed OHKO
thats timid
Why we use tera flying blast
.
im gonna blow a gasket
For urshifu
It's not that deep
we have like an open play day for vg coming up so like casual tourney ive made a team of metronome users
Then take a break
This is stupid lol
This is just a pointless argument really
you're right its not that deep its how stupid this idea is
I’m glad to see nothing has changed in the weeks I’ve been gone
If it even is one
Nothing ever really changes
145 is a very high attack stat
I mean, you have a history of insisting upon, if i'm being honest, pretty bad concepts
Yeah it's pointless cuz Specs Landot just ain't it chief I'm sorry
Sniffin that copium brother
so why would you use adamant
are you talking to me tofu?
ik i had bad ideas i used to be an idiot
but I don't disagree with the reasoning, i'm just saying soemthing else went wrong along the way to reach this point
Ur pfp 😩
no, lycopoky
I also had bad ideas
How bad is my history of terrible ideas?
what did i stumble into…
just clarifying
Specs Lando-T
But to be honest the ones from months ago is when i was way worse
wha
yea
Like if you're really desperate for an intimidator and a ground-type one and you land on Specs Lando-T then like I think something went wrong in your process
guys we’re not singles players
I have stuff to do, it was just an idea
bando t however
An idea meant to be harmless
band hurts
Just curious what is my worst idea I’ve shared here?
There is such a thing is a wrong opinion...
Band hits like a damn truck but loses flexibility
As is with any choice item
so flutter being specs loses flexibility
It's called a Choice item
of not being able to click a different move?
Flutter is not a intimidator
thats the whole point lol
Landorus has U-Turn
So clicking something not u turn can force landorus to switch without using u turn
It’s probably bronzong, can’t remember any other ideas
The worst one i shared is flamethrower hydro pumo tailwind draco meteor Salamence
What the
That was in like, october
my worst idea is that i make Incin Max Attack for some reason
welp i am screwed am i
Why?
mm nvm he changed it, that or i assumed wrong
Oh we are all happier now that’s fun
if i assumed wrong my bad
That
anyways
Landorus-t with scarf is really fun
Anyways, so specs Landorus-the-
No
It was a joke
i used Scarf Lando once but thats about it
Fair enough
Seriously though scarf landorus is very good
its alright
band
It depends on the team comp but it can be good
rapid strike being scarf just ruins its life
It allows therian to outspeed annoying pokemon and with tera flying blast it can do very good damage
generally
then again,Chien Pao exists
Can confirm
Depends on the team, but generally yeah
nah it just usually better im ngl
i really dont see a lot of situations where therian is better especailly with incin roaming around
if you need ground flying intimidate sure
that case just doesn't pop up much
For me the deciding factor between the two is that ground + electric is really good. I’d rather not double up on special damage otherwise I can get walled quite hard by specially bulky mons, also u-turn helps me reset terrain
It does but switchability was kinda necessary just for my team specifically
Also I didn’t think about incarnate form when team building so now I’m not bothering to change form since the team is working well for me
ok
You know that peliper defense stat pretty tasty
What is it?
100
Yeah was surprised
I guess it can be like moderately bulky
Doesn’t have to always have focus sash
i need to calculate which MU is good against or weak against Terapagos
"calculate"
Koraidon seems bad
nope,death sentence
I meant for Terapagos
exactly.
Terapagos is good into koraidon?
no its bad into it
That’s what I was saying
i haven't rephrase my words,
I mean Terapagos is in death row against Koraidon
Oh yeah we meant the same things sorry I misread
yeah its ok,at least we know our stuff now
Does clear amulet work against clear smog
isn't just me,Or is there not that much Dusk Mane
i think it does work i think
I have seen it once in like 50 games
No it doesn't
Not all that common
ok no wonder why the Amoonguss did not clear smog my Terapagos-
i list it as not much data
Fair
at least i saw Dawn Wings
It doesn’t work against clear amulet?
I thought the stat wipe thing was different from stat lowering
Prevents other Pokemon from lowering the holder's stat stages.
What
I gotta test this
Oh that's not me lmao
I saw that name I was so confused
i was scared if i get smite by him lol-
I'm saying Clear Smog clears the stats and Clear Amulet does not work against Smog
Things changed
I got a new dog
I didn’t like using it, didn’t feel good whatsoever
I know parting shot doesn’t work against it
Pic and name
My new dog is Zamazenta LFG
It’s broken LOL
what feels bad about it
i feel like sure its still here just not as good as Dynamax Era
I fucking hate you
Its like trying harder for less payoff
Yeah my bad I totally misread
?
I am just trying to decide if calyrex is really getting one shot often enough to justify this focus sash
Lmao
Do you not like Zamazenta
I EXPECTED AN ACTUAL DOG
yea, its kinda forced into 1 kind of set as well
Because one nasty plot is just like dangerous but probably against mirroring calyrex you need it
NUH UH
LMAO
Just my realization
Oh ok
Oh my bad lol
No just Zamazenta type shit
you're forced swords dance and then behemoth blade and a choice of play rough or sacred sword
Iron defense body press strats
Zamzenta just wipes Terapagos once set up- but i am glad that the Shield Doggo finally become good
Nice

I like seeing Kyogre, it’s cool
i found the same in testing it
kyogre beat the mid allegations
Me when I Crunch and/or Snarl your bitchass
It is pretty good
ok

Sqwortle
POV:You are Kyogre

If you don't have consistent OHKO potential/intense survivability as a Restricted right now or bring something else to the table it's bad
Zacian-C has neither
yea it feels gutted too. having the +1 just once per game limits how u play it in a lot of ways
