#

weird, whats the difference between limitless vgc data and the trainer school

#

and thats only usage. I included winrates as well

mighty stump
warped mason
#

oh so limitless is an average among the days i guess

#

or count both days

#

damn, miraidon and groudon falling off is heart breaking

knotty mirage
#

Zamazenta got top 3 usage that something

mighty stump
#

Generally im more surprised seeing Zacian usage

#

WR looks like people are still figuring stuff out tbh, especially with the Calys also marking how heavy the counterplay on some of those are.

warped mason
#

yup

#

lower caly s winrate means people found ways to effectively deal with it

#

also surprising that ice rider dropped in usage.

pastel blade
#

Over bold?

mighty stump
#

I don’t see why it would ever be bold

mighty stump
#

Plus results wise it still cut

#

I think

#

Unless im thinking of VR tour

#

which Caly-I recently won undefeated

warped mason
#

Oh its for sure an S tier mon. Its just people went in the tourney to beat caly-S which would logically lead to a lower winrate

#

Same would happen to terapogos arguably. People weren't as prepared for it so it makes sense for its higher winrate.

mighty stump
#

I think it's harder to answer Terapagos

#

Classical counterplay doesn't actually exist

strange fjord
#

What do you think is Terapagos' worst matchup?

#

restricted wise.

molten oasis
#

Zama probably

strange fjord
#

yeah that's probably right

cyan smelt
#

korai

strange fjord
#

So I was curious to see what the data says. Since I have quite a bit of replay data to use I'd figure I'll write a quick program to do so.

#

Da results

#

based around ~67k replays.

#

highlighted are <50%

timber falcon
#

Calyrex is used?

strange fjord
#

barely

#

probably small number which skews it a little

timber falcon
#

Yeah I can’t imagine pagos struggling with it

strange fjord
#

gotta add a devation thingy

#

33.33% seems a little too clean of a percentage to be a high number of data points

timber falcon
#

Ngl I do study computer science, but I got no idea what’s happening SadMimi

#

What’s meant by devation?

strange fjord
#

I could show you my code if that helps lol

timber falcon
#

Nah I’ll probs not understand it, we haven’t gotten to the main part of coding yet, just theory

cyan smelt
#

what do you guys think of overheat miraidon with eject pack

strange fjord
#

how spread the data could be due to few data points (low number of uses in battle)

timber falcon
strange fjord
#

like saying "I have a win rate of 90%" (player 1 only did 10 battles) vs "I have a win rate of 85%" (player 2 did 500 battles)

#

player 2 is more likely to reliable data over player 1

timber falcon
#

Yeah that makes sense

mighty stump
#

So it's not necessarily 1-1 interactions

#

Zamazenta is to be expected

strange fjord
#

team comparison indeed

mighty stump
#

Eternatus probably is more knowledge based rather than true counter

#

Since its harder to mplay against something you dont know whats going on

#

Koraidon/ is to be expected

#

Caly-Ice im also not surprised because my set is probably the only Terapagos with a positive/advantageous MU into Caly-I

merry otter
#

what would be the best way to build a sweeper torterra and a team for it

#

im new to competitive

mighty stump
#

Your only real option is to run Shell Smash + White Herb or Iron Defense Body Press, but I wouldn't really expect to see much success with it. Seeing as you're new to competitive I think it's important to be aware there is a great likelihood you're unable to use your favourite Pokemon (unless they're a metamon) to a consistent successful degree particularly in the current higher powered format.

#

Figured I'd try my luck with reg G again since I'll be getting an ogerpon soonish, kinda tossed together whatever sounded good (garganacl is mostly a caly counter)

https://pokepast.es/34cc43bf361ef11a

mighty stump
#

Clear Amulet over Covert Cloak

#

Hearthflame needs Speed investment

#

Steel Tera on Garg is just overlapping Fighting Weakness

last yarrow
#

Alrighty, I used covert cloak since I figured it'd help deal with fake out, I'll change it out now

mighty stump
#

Flutter Mane needs some form of bulk investment otherwise it dies to essentially everything including other Flutters

#

Mainly Sash/Booster Spe Flutters

#

I recommend Icy Wind as additional form of Speed Control, and Protect/Recover on Garganacl so it can actually take advantage of Salt Cure and Stall, although I dislike Garganacl here. Chi-Yu/Raging Bolt with Snarl access already does that work for you. You hahve no true Slow-Play elements either

last yarrow
#

Was garganacl a bad pick for the team? Chose it for wide guard + bulk for calyrex.

mighty stump
#

Id rather replace it for a Raging Bolt/Farigiraf if you're concerned about Sun, both of which can assist with the Caly-S matchup.

last yarrow
#

Alrighty, tysm for the advice!

mighty stump
#

Farigiraf with virtue of the Normal-typing + access to HH can assists against Caly-S, Koraidon already helps deal with Kyogre/Raging Bolt can further improve that MU as well, reasonings wise.

chrome knot
#

@next stump i made it back to calyrex, hypnosis went first got hyped, caught it in a love ball, we were speed tying @ 86….

frosty vale
#

i have skeledirge,gyardos,toedscruel,scyther,gengar and ampharos should i change it for any like types of rotom or should i replace anything for tauros Cylizar or arcanine

torn parrot
# molten oasis Zama probably

i can feel the fear in terapagos team's eyes when their turtle has nowhere left to run front of a +3 zama and popped tera shell

upbeat quail
#

I think a Rayquaza And Chien-pao core is gonna be strong in Reg G. What else should I run to round out the team?

mighty stump

Anti-priority is huge, one of the main threats is a Ghost-type

#

For once in the format you can;'t just espeed spam

next stump
#

played through the game entirely while playing other games and it took like 18 hours for caly lmao

mighty stump
#

Ugh

#

That reminds me

#

I too have to regrind for it

LETS GOOOOOOOO

#

Anything new happening today in comp chat?

knotty mirage
#

Is use sash on caly s is it fine to just keep it at tera ghost or does defensive tera still matter ?

shadow wind
#

A lot of people run Tera fairy.

mighty stump
#

Sash Ghost is fine if you're willing to play it that way

#

Particularly when you're gonna be running NPlot which is the way with Sash

knotty mirage
#

Ah alright then extra damage on astral barrage sounds nice

upbeat quail
#

I’m debating on just taking a break from VGC until after Indy regionals, so I can get an idea of how the meta actually will be.

#

I was doing fantastic early on showdown ladder, but know the weird shit is coming out of the woodworks and Im struggling to adapt

solid frigate
#

Terapagos Cresselia?

idk

upbeat quail
#

Hopefully someone at Indy will make top cut with a Venusaur on their team. Then I may be interested in this format lol. I just can’t stand Calyrex’s design, from both a casual and competitive viewpoint.

#

I’d like to see a solid sun team do well. Koraidon is super cool

next stump
#

definitely not a bad idea, especially if you’re just laddering and have no tournaments

#

i’m one of the guinea pigs at indy so I have to play early format which i hate

chrome knot
#

omg ur a test dummy for this regulation

mighty stump
#

I had pretty good success with my upcoming content team for Venu

#

Also I have proof-of-concept for Miraidon

#

That's actually, I think, good

next stump
#

all of the regionals i’ve been to this year minus charlotte have been first regional of the format

#

and not only that, fucking opening weekend of the format

mighty stump
#

Maybe its a sign you're meant to be first

next stump
#

peoria was Reg E, Portland Reg F, and now Indy Reg G

If it doesn't OHKO anything just use origin form

#

Plus you aren't running rillaboom

mighty stump
bold geode
#

Ok well we need to find who did and take away their keys

autumn vault
#

Giratina is sadly just awful

#

And the amount of pokemon that beat it does not help, especially with the secretly badly invested stats

autumn vault
#

Ik it is just 3 battles or more by the looks of it

strange fjord
#

probably like 6 battles of base calyrex and they happen to win a bit more than lose

#

oop

autumn vault
#

I also did not expect to see kyurem base form at 50% but that might have just been like 2 or 4 battles

#

And the kyurem won half of those

#

A zekrom at the late 1400's is surprising for me, atleast it can compete despite having very very slim odds of making it into day 2 at a regionals in reg G in general

#

Like Dillon once said "I would be very surprised to see Zekrom top cut a regional in reg G"

mighty stump
#

I mean

#

We've entered the era of where 1400s is like mid-low elo on the ladder rn

autumn vault
#

Valid point

#

I just did not see that coming at all, nothing else

charred saddle
mighty stump
#

bo3 is just nicer to play

strange fjord
bold geode
#

Top 500 in BO3 is actually 1400s so

mighty stump
bold geode
#

Or low top 500

autumn vault
#

Definetely some 1400 players at top 500

mighty stump
bold geode
#

Yeah
Would 1300 be mid in that ladder rn or?

mighty stump
#

mid-low

strange fjord
mighty stump
#

Like

#

Generally

bold geode
#

It's mid
Lemme cope Tofu

mighty stump
#

I think if you know whats going on and are pretty solid you should be able to hit 1400s in bo3

#

and 1600s in bo1

autumn vault
mighty stump
#

Obv this is my perspective

#

But at the end of the day ratings are just a singular snapshot

bold geode
mighty stump
#

It's all about consistency

mighty stump
#

It's a process

#

Sometimes you test on alts and just crowd your stats with random shit

#

Sometimes you just dont give a shit

bold geode
#

Yeah
The amount of times this Reg alone that I forget Grassy Glide interactions

mighty stump
#

I do have to say to add weight to your words and opinions it pretty much helps to have those numbers/stats to back you up

autumn vault
mighty stump
#

If you can play 3 Bo1 games you can play 1 Bo3 game

bold geode
#

I hit top 500 twice though in BO1
Even if it was early on, never done that before so

autumn vault
bold geode
#

I've found BO3 way better tbh
Quality of games are actually quite nice

mighty stump
#

It's easier to analyse

bold geode
#

Yeah
I also think that maybe the skill level in that ladder is a bit higher? May be just me

warped mason

Why are people running chien pao in torn ogre teams

mighty stump

What type is Chien-Pao

# strange fjord Da results

Btw where did you get this? I checked both of the websites in your about me but i am not sure where it came from

Ah ok

What type is Caly-S

strange fjord

No way caly s isn't tera-ing infront a chien pao but thats besides the point

Didn't realize chien pao has good coverage i to kyogres resists

is reg G interesting?

I love that kyogre beat the mid allegations

#

i havent had time to dig in too much

#

i just know that calyrex shadow is actually a fraud

warped mason
#

I wouldn't say that

#

Still an S tier mon

violet smelt
#

well i definitely exaggerated but seeing the memes was so funny

warped mason
#

Tho it recently performed kinda underwhelming in the $400 tourney

#

Because everyone went in trying to beat it

Its more recent

violet smelt

oh okok

#

that one has a lot more calyrex shadows

warped mason
#

Overall usage rates and winrates

violet smelt
#

who the fuck though about the design and lore of calyrex

warped mason
#

Caly-S had the most usage, but its winrate wasn't great

violet smelt
#

calyrex does not look like a pokemon that could ride a horse

warped mason
#

People went in to beat caly S

violet smelt
#

guess incineroar is nice against it right?

warped mason
#

Yea, and there's other ways

#

Trickroom, wide guard, chien pao, etc

violet smelt
#

wide guard is a thing thats so true

mighty stump
#

It's all well and good until people start dropping the counterplay cause it's WR isn't great then it snowballs out of control

#

The meta shifted the same way with Urshifu-RS mid-Reg F and look what happened

#

At the end of the day it's still good

strange fjord
#

urshifu dark, snarl, wide guard just can pressure calyrex shadow a bit

violet smelt
#

urshifu rapid was the n1 common enemy

#

im a caly ice enjoyer i think

#

glastrier is cooler than spectrier anyway

mighty stump
#

Urshifu Dark gets 2HKOd by Astral Barrage

#

252 SpA Life Orb Calyrex-Shadow Rider Astral Barrage vs. 0 HP / 20 SpD Urshifu-Single Strike: 86-101 (49.1 - 57.7%) -- 97.7% chance to 2HKO

#

Snarl is kinda whatever

violet smelt
#

if astral barrage is ghost, is tera normal popular now?

mighty stump
#

I wouldn';t actively Tera-Normal unless theres a secondary benefit

strange fjord
warped mason
#

Caly-S still needs to be respected, but when its win rate falls and people start accounting for it, it will just go nuts like previously.

violet smelt
mighty stump
#

I vaguely remember when JMOdri used to be in this server alongside quite a few other players

#

Interesting time

violet smelt
#

spanish vgc players my goats

mighty stump
#

My experience with more general spanish players from showdown has been more insulting than anything

#

That, and italians

violet smelt
#

we MAY be a bit intense

strange fjord
#

i have barely gotten any insults from anyone on showdown. usually its just low ladder in the beginning then no one after.

mighty stump
#

Idk

#

Intense is one thing

#

Hurling slurs is another

#

It is funny though

#

How anyone gets that upset over the simulator of all things

#

I think my favourite was the italian one

#

It took up the whole chatbox

violet smelt
#

in the defense of my comrades we do use slurs in a not so hurting manner

#

like i insult my friends every 5 phrases we chat

mighty stump
#

I think context matters

#

To friends: anything goes

#

To random strangers: bit weird and off-putting

violet smelt
#

depends on the slur ig but yeah

#

if some spanish random calls you "putero" dont worry about it

violet smelt
#

also something we talk about very unformally is bombing things

it does sound a bit hardcore from outside but life ban is absolutely atrocious

I think the most recent one was someone asked if I had dignity or if my parents beat me enough

#

In spanish

autumn vault
mighty stump
#

I just kept typing "?"

#

I think I seemed to annoy them more than they did me

#

Like bro i've been called nearly every asian slur under the sun, im chinese, ofc i've been beaten

bold geode
#

Wtf did I come back to

autumn vault
#

I honestly think that the Showdown chatrooms are a mistake imo

mighty stump
#

and just discussing my most recent insult

bold geode
#

Oh lol

autumn vault
#

🤦‍♂️

mighty stump
#

And it's also like

autumn vault
#

I never liked spanish people for a reason despite being one

mighty stump
#

It's just funny

bold geode
#

I just saw slurs and was like "as a Southern white man, I am not safe here"

mighty stump
#

Lol

#

I still remember

#

Someone called my a slur in this chat cause I told them to ask questions in a separate chat

#

I didn't even like

#

Do it in my usual snarky way

#

I had to google cause it was an entirely new slur

autumn vault
#

Me everytime i hear about something bad from the Spanish and Italian people

mighty stump
#

It was one applied to vietnamese/korean people specifically so they kinda missed the mark there

bold geode
#

I gotta say as someone from the South, I have seen some slurs on the Internet that idk if ANYONE around here would say lmao

bold geode
#

Wait
Maybe not brand lmao

mighty stump
#

Wow

#

Wowww

bold geode
#

Tofu I done fucked up and associated with one of the store brand Asians

autumn vault
#

I never understood the concept of slurs, i always despised them and i wouldn't use any

#

They are just upscaled insults

#

But pushed way too far

bold geode
#

Well just like everything, they were words, but the words just don't have good history behind em

autumn vault
#

Honestly i always hid my spanish/english blood, i just don't want to put up with nasty comments

bold geode
#

Like technically, one of the variants of the N word is just the Spanish word for black

#

But not good history makes it not good

And hence why we don't use them

220 SpA Choice Specs Flutter Mane Moonblast vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Assault Vest Miraidon: 146-174 (83.4 - 99.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO huh

foggy lodge
timber falcon

why

foggy lodge
#

Normally you are going to pivot with Miraidon to put your terrain over your rival's terrain

#

With electric seed you do that once and later you play without an item

timber falcon

his miraidon isnt a pivot one i dont think

oh that makes sense to me

molten oasis
#

Incineroar is just that guy

timber falcon
#

also i cant say im fond of amoongus being top 2

willow vault
#

I mean spore is incredibly valuable what do you expect + the other support it gives its great against restricteds

timber falcon
#

yeah, i just hate going against it

violet smelt
#

it slows things down a bit

violet smelt
timber falcon
#

yeah but before i didnt have to think about it that much, now its everywhere

timber falcon
#

i dont like having to think that much GengarSad

willow vault
#

If you play a game competitively you nearly always have to think quite a lot, it’s just the nature of playing games competitively

timber falcon
#

i mean think about amoongus specifically, like glimmora is stresses me out

like if i dont kill it im ruined

I will come back in a bit but rn i have to go do something fast

foggy lodge
#

Looks good

molten oasis
foggy lodge
#

I've been trying the Howl HO but with Zacian and i was using Gapdos so Incineroar can't hard counter my team

molten oasis
foggy lodge
#

The thing is

molten oasis
foggy lodge
#

I have a horrible MU against TR lmao

foggy lodge
#

True, i could run just Scarf Urshifu

molten oasis
#

That’s why I haven’t used it lol

#

Generally shifu is better

foggy lodge
#

Hmmm

autumn vault
molten oasis
#

Tera ghost isn’t too bad tho for gapdos

#

Dodging fo let’s it wipe rilla and incin

autumn vault
#

You can run more than 1 check to incineroar just be wary they also have to have different reasons to justify them

#

G-Zapdos and Urshifu are both fighting types

molten oasis
#

Gapdos and shifu do the same thing

foggy lodge
autumn vault
#

Specs is right there but it is probably for a different reason

#

And you can redirect the surging strikes so i think it is good here

foggy lodge
#

I don't use it so much in the matches anyway

autumn vault
#

Booster Speed is best with icy wind

foggy lodge
#

So i could replace it with another thing

autumn vault
#

I can see a case for it with sash

foggy lodge
#

I'm going to try it

autumn vault
#

If you want to go ahead but do note Gouging Fire already has booster energy

foggy lodge
autumn vault
#

I think it looks good

#

But if i had to make changes (which is unnecesary) i would remove some SpA investment on flutter and put those on Spe to truly take advantage of icy wind

foggy lodge
#

hmmm

#

Jolly?

#

Well not jolly, but a nature that boost speed lol

autumn vault
#

Jolly or Timid

#

Flutter: Timid

#

Zacian and Urshifu benefit more from Jolly then Adamant

#

Ofc if you want Urshifu to outspeed calyrex-shadow then jolly is fine

autumn vault
#

Honestly i think i will take the pelipper over tornadus

timber falcon
#

finally unlocked lunala path in DAWobbuParty

autumn vault
#

Plus it counters groudon and landorus

timber falcon
#

soon ill be hunting for it and making the team alive

molten oasis
#

I have 2 versions since I like Hearthflame as a Mirai partner but pelipper has bad synergy

#

With hearth

#

I want a rilla check

autumn vault
#

For overall balance tornadus is good

#

Honestly i thing Tornadus is best, you get more consistent speed control, checks rillaboom better, better synergy at the cost of no rain and wide guard

#

Which the team can handle

autumn vault
#

But congrats WobbuParty

So I don't use a -spatk nature

oh ok

I mean you still won’t be doing much damage

Incineroar doesn't outspeed much anyways

how does wheexing zac even benefit though

no way I'm arguing with people who thinks weezing zacian is a thing sorry

that's a one-way debate

I knew it, it's always like this

It’s one way cuz you refuse to give me a reason to respect your opinions

i don't need you to respect my opinions
