Le gasp! You found out!
well its my name lol
LOL
that mucnhlax has me on guard more than the terapagos lol
i am jealous of someone with same names can enjoy with each other
last time that happened to me its chaotic at finest
https://pokepast.es/05fa180ad853e2c0
How's this reg g team looking?
looks fine
my second favourite Legendary lol
Why cress?
More Bulky,can operate Trick Room, and Lunar Blessing Helps Cure Status Conditions
You can look at my Rental of the reason why i use it
Ursaluna?
yeah
ggs
ggs
zoroak is a tricky mon for sure
no it doesnt
Sadge
Is there any pokemon who can block priority with its ability & follow me ?
If it had to be rage powder I allow it
Duraludon learns follow me ?
ok that ruins everything about using H-Zoroark
Indeedee you are right
zoroark can be disguised as Base Form if its in the back but stays in base form. terastal only if it transforms beforehand then swaps out
never ever disguised as stellar form tho
Now that is just tragic
kinda wanna see how the animationw orks
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2024regg-2119164665 very nice comeback if i do say so myself
Watch a replay of a PokƩmon battle between iiakashiii and Totorules! Format: [Gen 9] VGC 2024 Reg G; Date: May 6, 2024
Very smooth endgame
2 full paras in their end lol
Tragic for your opponent
Losing Koraidon so early was definetely very bad
but at the same time, it let dengo activate with no threat
bolt spatck was low cause of draco
Zama Team:You can't defeat Me
Koraidon:Oh i know,But he Can
Gholdengo:Exists
lol
Buzz Lightyear looks like he has eaten too many sweets and is suffering from eating them too fast
Gholdengo is literally the Plan B if Zacian and Zamazenta can get around the Nerfs
and i mean LITERALLY
walls zacians sacred sword too
And also CC but both share the same type
steel ghost is too good
Aegislash:I am proud of you Boi.
lol
oh Aegislash is not in the game?
thats fine.
WE HAVE SOMETHING EVEN WORSE
pelipper
do u hav a set for him? 
252 spA 252 hp or speed weather ball hurricane wide guard tailwind/protect/helping hand
thx
flameduckys has given 1 Gen Rep to drayagedrago
oh also
wat do u think of this team? https://pokepast.es/1b3bca7154c06f92
shifu wants mystic water and tera grass or steel or water
alr
i'd probably go tera fairy on whims to boost moonblast
or steel for defensive tera
why do you have so much attack invest on incin
(Incineroar) (F) @ Safety Goggles
Ability: Intimidate
Level: 50
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Ghost
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 156 Def / 68 SpD / 28 Spe
Impish Nature
- Knock Off
- Taunt
- Fake Out
- Parting Shot
overheat over fire blast
tera stellar on pelipper, and sash
Proabably want protect on LO Chiyu
or go specs
that too
sash on pelipper
specs on chi yu
doesnt shadowrider need it?
oh
or protect if wanna keep LO
uhm, sitrus ig
You can use Scarf on Urshifu but with 2 speed control options mystic water is definetely better here
or covert?
Also you don't need to use pelipper wih sash
its on whims alrady
Whims has covert
oh wait
ik, i gav it to shadowrider
well sitrus or rocky helm
counterpoint, i like damage
then Lorb
yea
chi yu has protect
Counterpoint, i like blocking Fake Out and snarl SpA drops
okay you gave it protect?
calyrex electric bike rider
lmao
yea
that be so broken
Then disregard that just give peli sitrus
alr
Let her cook with this
could go goggles
https://pokepast.es/45a768809fe44f9d should be good now right?
NO.
kill amoonguss
has the ability as one, with grim neigh, unnerve, and hadron drive 
how to ruin vgc
yeah
yeah i hate it already
L-Orb Chi-Yu is kind of odd for me, also running a fire type with Pelipper isn't that good
For my FariLuna Miraidon team, i ran Araquanid because of pelipper hurting hearthflame's damage output, pelipper is still very nice here
I planned on using pelipper when koraidon shows up since ive been seeing alot of em lol
i wonder if caly plushies exist
If you are worried about Koraidon then i guess go ahead
i worried about Koraidon,yet i am doing ok with it
i forgot about this lmfao
kill this mf
I want Zekrom and Excadrill plushes
hear me out
put a caly plushie on a glastrier plushie
i saw that mf
Lol i dont think they have those either yet :/
they do
oh bet
Ok, not a bad idea
My god thats tiny
Ill just get Caly and put it on a Peli Plush XD
theyre out of calyrex plushies
Yay! No calyrex
I need Terapagos Plush
thats kinda cute tho
it
is
an admittedly i dont hate calyrex that much
dlc its from kinda made me hate it less
no thats just menace
I wanna throw it on Pelipper lol
Miraidon moment
Ahhh
Koraidon still looks cooler
also i kinda bored and did this
same,but i just want to do this for fun
Tailwind, that also works with Trick Room from outside force
cuz Cresselia,Incineroar and Terapagos are the slowest
in the team
In Icy Wind and Healing
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DaZ1hcqnpxK-w_BhQ3VfJI15Xd0LbZfo1n_x_lrmcT0/edit
here's the full anaylsis
So Iāve noticed something
?
You have pros and cons for the team as whole
Why not attempt to shut down those noticeable cons?
its just a friendly reminder for those who want to try this team
i know how to deal with it
except for the DLC part that is just troll
but yeah i am happy with this team
especially i forgot cresselia and i think about using it when i was at school
As long as it works then itās fine ig š
Just ohko'd caly ice from full with tera electric specs electro drift.
Peak satisfaction
not sharing more as ive already stated multiple times im taking dengo wellspring to NAIC lol
kek
bug gholdengo is my hero
bug dengo???
mhm
i run flying/ground
mine is for the mirror
owhhh that makes sense
is bug to resist high horse and not be weak to ice?
yes
Got my nap time to go hard in this last final
and covers for if i needed tera bug earlier in the game and they run the cc variant
Iām glad you found your dengo team š
go go go!!
screw sleep take naps
Whats the opinion on best kyogre team? I've seen a few different setups, I've been running different teams. I'm curious and grateful for information
The regiekeli is more annoying than I expected it to be
naps are so epic i took one earlier
i need to take naps instead of hibernatingā¦
Mystic Water or Choice Scarf
I think itās choice specs
Wait no
your literally talking about
Just the best team in general nvm
I thought you meant a specific team
or just Mystic water with Tornadus
gravity
for wha
no miss origin
ok fair
Kyogre @ Mystic Water
Ability: Drizzle
Level: 50
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Origin Pulse
- Water Spout
- Thunder
- Ice Beam
I use this
rilla pon about to eat good with glide
Me with Torn:

That is a kyogre team
Leftovers on amoongus?
Calyrex moment
Dang everybody in there mother doing Tera water now
for what?
For a Corviknight, how does this moveset sound: Roost, Bulk Up, Body Press and Drill Peck
Brave Bird over Drill Peck
Eh, I prefer Drill Peck just cause no recoil
you have roost which negates that-
good enough
I'll take it
Iron defense better than bulk up imo
But I think it would benefit Brave Bird a bit right?
Yeah I suppose
Trying to build a reg g team around my favorite mons, Latias and G-Articuno, any ideas? Thinking of psychic surge, but that would be 3 psychic types
its not that good for both of them...
Also can I get feedback on my Iron Valiant set: Swords Dance, Close Combat, Knock Off, Moonblast
Or should I swap out Moon for Spirit Break
Spirit break.
Iāve seen Galarian Articuno on some Calyrex-Ice teams as an Incineroar answer
but not familiar with Latias teams at the moment
Thx, I'll try to fit latias in a team like that aswell
msb279 has given 1 Gen Rep to mlbd
Been really catching the work lately man dang
Might as well do a Challenge Run
What's a challenge run
You mean a topic of what challenge run?
Yeah
Wally's Team (ORAS) In competitive Pokemon(Not VGC Cuz Reg F is over)
Is hisuian lilligant still viable in reg g with Groudon
maybe
@next stump what was ur 6 for indy?
w/ or w/o gholdengo?
i won a pc with gholdengo but legit had no mu into miraidon so i had to take peli out for bolt
i had gholdengo, only played one miraidon the whole weekend so it worked out but i feel that
probably going to test ting lu somewhere on the team
or ice spinner ursh
ting lu making its return: š«
Wait Vessel of Ruin nerfs SpA by Half right?
252 SpA Choice Specs Hadron Engine Miraidon Draco Meteor vs. 36 HP / 220 SpD Assault Vest Vessel of Ruin Ting-Lu: 108-127 (45.9 - 54%) -- 49.2% chance to 2HKO
It still do quite a buttload for a Ting Lu
25%
so basically Miraidon would have like 1.25x Multiplyer cuz Choice Specs is 1.5?
i guess?
But yeah Ting-Lu seems fine
And y'know what
My Zamazenta team seems like it has a good match up against Miraidon 
I have to test it
Same as My Terapagos but i need to set up first
when i'm done with this fucking works and exams i'm going to test it
Moose
Moose
dosent make much sense now but
any recommendations for 3v3 ranked singles online scarlet?
So Iāve Made the Weirdest Team xD, Tell me what you think (Itās not supposed to be good, just something interesting to use)
- Palafin
- Wave Crash - Acrobatics - Jet Punch - Flip Turn
- Archaludon
- Electro Shot - Draco Meteor - Metal Sound - Flash Cannon
- Smergle (Maxed Defensive Evās
- Transform - Lunar Blessing - Light Screen - Reflect
- Armarouge
- Armor Cannon - Expanding Force - Clear Smog - Calm Mind
- Kingdra (Swift Swim)
- Hydro Pump - Dragon Pulse - Ice Beam - Protect
- Slowbro
- Heal Pulse - Rain Dance - Psychic Terrain - Water Pulse (Or Yawn)

if this is for reg g ur gna get bounced like every game. theres 1 restricted per team now
ToppoWoppo just hit rank 69 on ladder lmao
who
ToppoWoppo
Crazy Trick Room player
is that the guy who does upside down streams
Yes
He legit lost a game, said "I threw it so I could get rank 69", and just now did it lmao

wheres the RAIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

I kinda want to use kyogre tbh

If I wanted to run hydro pump on kyogre
Where would I put it?
https://pokepast.es/f59b2db64fadf44c howās this
Havenāt done the calcs, but Iām pretty sure a neutral hydro pump KOs most things
But Iām not so sure of my pagos MU
Hmmmm can regidrago still be good this reg
Apparently Regidrago zac is a thing according to tofu so maybe
Regidrago deals with caly I pretty well
Nice
If you perform on ladder really well, is your team ready for irl comp?
What, for bo1? Its good to train your risk management/hard call making since there are no habits to base your information off but you should be practicing Bo3 sets too and figuring out other aspects of the game
People like to write off Bo1 for being CTS/Cheese value but there are still important skills to learn from there lol
Plus, you play the Japanese
Potential inspo
how do i teambuild from 3v3 ranked online battles?
congrats tofu and yeah the japanese are cracked
I assume fundamentally its still pretty much the same but its a bit more wild west regarding that format
Like udnerstand what are the most used mons, your favourable matchups, how to set up you team for success
Idk, it seems weird shit is always there since the format is very prediction heavy/coin-flip
okay i think i see. But should i include things such as hazards? or not since its such a high paced match
So like, why is Iron Treads in Reg F considered bad? It has seemingly good matchups into a lot of top mons while being a great partner with Miraidon
(Quark Drive + Jolly 188 Speed EVs allows it to outspeed non-Scarf base 135)
itās considered bad?
Apparently
Ground/Steel
Quark Drive
90/112/120/72/70/106
570
itās still weak to ground right?
Well yeah, but the only other Ground Type in VGC is Ursaluna
lando
thereās a lot of earth power running around and that-
SpDef isnāt helping
I thought everyone wrote off Lando already
no itās still around
itās just early reg so people are trying out new toys first
Even then, everyone's acting like Miraidon winning tournaments is a big surprise when like, everyone I know was worried about it since Day 1
and Iron Treads looks like an amazing partner for it
wellā¦
Day 1 and mirai was actually looking pretty weak.
we all knew how oppressive it was but it was hard to find a slot onto a team-
tbh AV treads would be good but thereās still shifuās around too
Electro Drift OHKOing Rilla from full 
no we had calcs-
when i say weak i mean it didnāt really fit any teams at the time
Even if the synergy didn't really seem great at the time, did people seriously write off the ~5.2x total multiplier and go "B-Tier"
for mirai?
no
Then how are people surprised it's winning?
^^
is that why people have started running raichu
Maybe
which one
regular
lightning rod?
yes
Well it has been discovered that Miraidon is better off lonely with FariLuna than any violet paradox
Treads is one of them
maybe
it gets FO too so :0
and Endeavor got reintroduced in its movepool
oh god
Raichu is very interesting now, counters both Miraidon and Raging Bolt and Fake Out is very interesting
Plus Volt Tackle is very strong
tbf we had pika bait from tofu 
Body Slam, Brick Break, Dig, Endeavor, Facade, Fake Out, Feint, Flail, Fling, Fly, Focus Punch, Giga Impact, Iron Tail, Knock Off, Nuzzle, Play Rough, Present, Quick Attack, Reversal, Spark, Take Down, Thief, Thunder Punch, Trailblaze, Upper Hand, Volt Tackle, Wild Charge
Alluring Voice, Charge Beam, Disarming Voice, Discharge, Draining Kiss, Electro Ball, Electroweb, Focus Blast, Grass Knot, Hyper Beam, Surf, Swift, Tera Blast, Thunder, Thunder Shock, Thunderbolt, Volt Switch
Agility, Celebrate, Charge, Charm, Double Team, Eerie Impulse, Electric Terrain, Encore, Endure, Fake Tears, Growl, Helping Hand, Light Screen, Nasty Plot, Play Nice, Protect, Rain Dance, Reflect, Rest, Sleep Talk, Substitute, Sweet Kiss, Tail Whip, Thunder Wave, Tickle, Wish
A move displayed with Bold text benefits from Same-Type Attack Bonus when used by Raichu.
Zoomy is right
only a matter of time before raichu came along
Ok, but why would Treads not be a good partner? It looks to matchup decently into a fair number of top threats like Shadow Caly, Flutter Mane, Raging Bolt, and other Miraidons
True but Tofu is always coming up with either secret meta ideas or stupid but very good ideas
itās Special Defense against csr?
Lemme run a calc rq
- It is a ground type with other better ground types like Landorus (both of them) Groudon and Ursaluna (both of them)
- Gets one shot by any super effective SpA move unless it has AV
- It's ability is only usable thanks to miraidon, without it Treads is hardly anything
- Body Press + Iron defense is great for it but many pokemon get it
lycopoky has given 1 Gen Rep to zoomsuper
iām surprised weāre not seeing a lot of hands tbh
but lycopoky does make good points
Electric, Poison
Rock
Bug, Dragon, Fairy, Flying, Normal, Psychic, Steel
Dark, Ghost, Grass, Ice, Stellar
Fighting, Fire, Ground, Water
Steel-types cannot be Poisoned.
Ground- and Steel-types take no damage from Sandstorm.
252 SpA Calyrex-Shadow Astral Barrage vs. 0 HP / 68 SpD Assault Vest Iron Treads: 75-88 (45.4 - 53.3%) -- 32.8% chance to 2HKO
And Knock Off w/252 Attack (Jolly) is a OHKO unless heavily invested in physical bulk which... Who does that
also fire and water weakness?
thatās a no go-
on showdown i saw tera ground farig with tera blast lol
I mean... Fair points to 1 and 2 but like, why would you not run Miraidon w/Treads?
If you're running Treads you're running a Miraidon team
would you always bring miraidon to battle?
even if thereās something that could shut off mirai and deny terrain?
cause once electric terrain is gone treads just becomes deadweight
It's Reg G so... Your restricted is basically mandatory
not really, you can leave out your restricted if it's a bad mu
or you can be delulu like me and make a team without a restricted 
@craggy dagger Iron Treads is just meh
Offensively middling, bulk is to be desired, will either take up items that certain better mons want or not have it's weaknesses dealt
Miraidon is dragged down by the Iron Paradoxes, not improved
im not the one making a case for treads to be-
good 
Oh yeah
How so?
Because you're getting synergy-baited by wanting to take advantage of E-Terrain by activating the abilities of pretty poor Pokemon who overall do not improve any relevant matchups/struggle against relevant matchups
When there are other ways of taking advantage of E-Terrain
The only good paradoxes are the ones that were good without Electric Terrain beforehand: Jugulis/Bundle/Hands
By shoving on Iron mons "just because they have Quark Drive" do not actually consider the individual Pokemon themselves. The ability isn't enough of a band-aid because everything has an increased power level
It doesn't mean the team is "unviable" for anything can really be "used". Just don't realistically expect it to be good/top cut
Plus
Iron Treads dies to a resisted Draco Meteor, which says a lot
So what makes a mon have good matchups against top threats vs. being actually good?
I mean both are connected
Could've been worded better but hopefully the point is across
it does?

If you have good matchups against top threats, then it's actually good
No one will ever be able to argue Incineroar isn't good
Cause it straight up improves every team it's on
You either look at a Pokemon via what it can overall do, or if it has a unique niche that is relevant to be considered that nothing else can do
Then theres als considerations of actually planning out the matchup with your lines/flowcharts/gameplan
Taking the only relevant Miraidon team at the moment as an example
the role compression is just too good
If you want a Ground-type, Ursaluna Bloodmoon does what you want whilst providing an immunity towards CSR which is one of Miraidon's tougher matchups. Alongside with Farigiraf being able to provide anti-priority and being linked to Ursaluna-Bloodmoon as a potent TR/slow mode core (or Tailwind, Rajan Bal's ver) and E-Terrain solving the Amoonguss matchup which both FariLuna despised
You have an overall truely synergistic team with actually good pokemon
With Farigiraf being able to easily complement Miraidon
Miraidon also provides that fast offensive mode + pivot power that FariLuna used to have with Urshifus as well
Its pretty easy to see the depth of each mon when each individual mon has clear strengths/are good
Does anyone know how many speed EV i need too outspeed caly s with miraidon on tailwind ?
isnt miraidon faster on tw when csr has no tw?
though idk abt scarf csr
The main thing that led me into thinking Iron Treads has merit is that under terrain, it can outspeed non-Scarf Base 135 and OHKO Flutter Mane, Shadow Caly, Miraidon (don't have specifics on EVs but it can't be that bulky), and I think Raging Bolt? It can also pivot or provide utility (and CSR OHKOs) with Knock Off
Ah okay just wanting to try makes bulky choice spec miraidon
Pairing it with tailwind that is
idk about ohko-ing bolt from full hp...
- Flutter Manes run Booster Spe, so more than likely can easily outspeed
- 252 Atk Iron Treads High Horsepower vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Miraidon: 150-176 (85.2 - 100%) -- 6.3% chance to OHKO
- it's a roll after an Intimidate, which is on every CSR team
- Never
Nah, you need it to be able to outspeed things on it's own
i was gonna say i think bolt is a little too bulky 
So is bulky miraidon not a good idea then ?
I mean you could probably do it like a Flutter Mane but you take it out of your offenses not your speed
You have to consider the mirrors
But then you miss out on power, so I don't know if there are some relevant KOs that you need but im pretty sure you need max spa for Dracos into Caly-I
especially fi Terrain is off
So what should i do then ?
I mean
That
252 SpA Choice Specs Miraidon Helping Hand Draco Meteor vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Calyrex-Ice Rider: 204-241 (98.5 - 116.4%) -- 93.8% chance to OHKO
^ No terrain active
I'd just keep it as is unless you have other methods
Dillon mentioned Caly-I Tera Grass is gonna become more relevant
So having an overall neutral damage button to click kinda great
Hasn't it already shown up in top cut?
Top cut doesn't equate to general playerbase yet
yet
Could also not anyways
But people are definitely going to opt out of Water
I liked Water
I also liked Fire
But i'd be fine without Fire-teras cause it retains my matchup for me easily
I play on ranked ladder so the tera is really weird there i see poison tera caly ice often

i would say tera ground cause i like STAB horsepower or tantrum-
but thats just me...
Tera Bug for STAB Pollen Puff 
Makes sense but it hurts you in the Kyogre MU
yeah
I guess the reason not many people on ladder using tera grass is because of chi yu
Like chi yu caly s pair is really common there
Yeah but at least you have Pelipper for that
So it's not really a big deal
You can switch in the Rain later if necessary
and scout for Choice item
Btw @brittle harness you're more than welcome to use Iron Treads if you think it has merit, I'm not saying flat out don't use it, just the point was there is more the Miraidon than being a Quark Drive bot
Just in-case that wasn't clear
Fair
Miraidon was predicted to be amazing, felt overhyped and then with FariLuna it won a tourney and now feels like it lives up to expectations that were set a month ago that it previously failed, the main thing that held it back was other paradoxes, Treads is one of them
Thanks for the insights btw
Kind of someone that's wanted to get in for a while but stuck in the sidelines
zoomsuper has given 1 Gen Rep to woodtofu
Btw can spec draco meteor from miraidon ohko max HP and 180 sp def assault vest ting lu ?
What nature?
Meant both but that's helpful
252 SpA Choice Specs Hadron Engine Miraidon Draco Meteor vs. 252 HP / 180 SpD Assault Vest Vessel of Ruin Ting-Lu: 112-133 (42.7 - 50.7%) -- 3.9% chance to 2HKO
It barely can 2hko
The thing with Ting-Lu is that it can feel really passive at times
??? I got a very different result
Ohh, AV
64-75% w/o AV
75% chance to 2HKO assuming no stat clears
You know what i am thinking? Weezing Regigigas with a restricted and ditto
Bad? Probably
Innovative? Depending on how you look at it
Yeah it's AV i'm thinking of using ting lu too hopefully hard counter miraidon
Hold that thought
wouldnāt neut deny imposter-
Probably doesn't
Why not just use blood moon to counter miraidon
Draco
It needs tr to counter it
Oh
tailwind bm ursa exists 
If not then it can Draco it before it moves
And tinglu can help agains't caly s too so why not
Yes but you need max speed to outspeed it
The only thing about Ting-Lu again is that it can just feel very passive
can it even outspeed mirai under tw
well nvm then
Thats how I basically obliterated the mirror lol
And yes it can
max spe modest is enough
Miraidon hits 205, max Ursaluna hits 208
if non-Timid
:0
I'm thinking of using more like support with how many special attacker on ladder right now
I remember i said this to you a few months ago with flutter
Yeah but
Max speed with tailwind can outspeed non booster speed flutter
That's what I mean
Booster speed can screw it over
Having a passive slot feels pretty bad
Ting-Lu's moveset is........
Serviceable
Ruination ST something can work
Im more thining getting Fake Out/Intim cycled lol
At least you retain the threat
i have not-
touched pokemon in-
over 2 months so i wouldnāt remember 
Makes sense
IB exams are fun 
And ruination can probably help if i got dondozo match up those team is really annoying to deal with on ladder
Don't think Ting-Lu likes eating a Wave Crash
Just spitballing, but I'm thinking of like:
-Ruination/Payback
-Heavy Slam
-Rock Slide
-Protect
Oh and Body Press, nearly missed that
I'm using AV so i think i will use
-ruination
-snarl
-heavy slam
-stomping tantrum
Ruination/Stomping/Dark STAB or Snarl/Slam or Fissure probably
Does a flinch count as a move "failing"?
Ah, so that's why people run it
Its ok
shadowdee is fine-
armadee wasnāt really annoyingā¦
well not in reg F at least
I just heard that it's annoying on ladder bc Bo1 CTS
and it just happens that they run both, but I figured SRC was so strong it'd kinda just plow through non-Dark mons
Nah you still need some semblance of respect for dark mons
Sometimes some CSR dont even use Psychich STAB
do you think hands will make a comeback-
Thats what my variant has been using
Ive been running the FariLunaMira core just before Indy Regionals and was using Hands
It improves the Terapagos/Raging Bolt/mirror + Occassional Ting-lu
has it been good?
iād assume CA hands-
:0
Again, with Hands, you hate Amoonguss
E-Terrain opens your Tera and Item
Improves your overall offense
yeah
Also it provides double FO mode for me so I always like that lol
https://x.com/SableyeVGC/status/1787305197426872748 @molten oasis Zacian team
Went into Indy with a dog and a dream. Zacian is definitely not a top restricted anymore, but it still feels strong. Didn't play anywhere close to my best, and it showed (4-3)
Sharing team, cause its super fun, and has a lot of potential imo
https://t.co/wN4FmeKbtR
Indyš§µbelow
Is this the highest placing one at 85th
86th
Lol
Meanwhile Lugia got 64th
Wtf did I tell yall
Lol
lol raichu too
Raichu is worse pikachu
Apparently Peli + Landorus I can do good against it too
Against what
Miraidon
Draco lol
-2 252 SpA Choice Specs Hadron Engine Miraidon Helping Hand Draco Meteor vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Landorus: 204-240 (104 - 122.4%) -- guaranteed OHKO
Yeah but like
Draco and they can get TW and outpace
I can Draco 3 times and wipe your board
Mirai too good
Pikachu will be very good rn
Good to counter Miraidon and Bolt

Lol
Otherwise it is, why?
Although take the advice with a grain of salt as imma look into it lol
Just a nuisance, very easy to get rid of
Because smart Miraidons wont be running just 3 move electric STABs
Discharge was just a meta-call because no one prepped for it
But you can get walled entirely too easily
Plus
The person who said this had Peli Caly I and Lando I
But deadass had Sandsear/Sludge/Nasty Plot/Protect
Also earlier i saw that the Chu line gets endeavor, still not redeemable but i will let you go widl with it if you feel like it
Literally
IT'S CLEFAIRY
BUT YELLOW
So like you cannot debate with me with Pikachu experience
This is true, you know it better than all of us
I know Rhyperior has been mentioned
With Tera Fairy
Im like meh about it, I ran into one and it just died to Bloodmoon Ursaluna
Idk apparently that one dude thought we did, remember the one guy Tofu who'd report cheaters to us
There was this one guy who'd report to us when he thought people were "hacking" when they really weren't
But we were like "hold up lemme call Mr Pokemon real quick"
Oh
Right
No one actually cares
The only people who do are trying to find excuses to be shit at the game
Lmao right
"This guy MUST be cheating, it can't be that I'm shit at this game, it CAN'T BE"
"They genned their legendary" idk man maybe its the fact you brought Eviolite Seedot
"I'm literally running Hoppip, but it ain't me, this guy definitely cheating"
"I don't understand why my max spdef max attack Gholdengo isn't doing any damage with Tackle its cause he hacked his Kyogre"
"Why did that Miraidon OHKO my incineroar with max hp 0 SpD, he must be cheating"
"Why did my Fissure miss this guy"!!!
Hacker!!
"Why did the Kyogre's tera water water spout ohko my hearthflame, such a dirty cheater!"
Howās does the duo flutter chi-yu work
No u
Tera electric discharge is just disgusting
Is it?
The damage should be mitigated by quite a bit and it harms both sides, I donāt think it OHKOs resist
it doesnāt
wat does it do tho
like ok u lived heres a resisted weather ball or hurricane
pfft
heres the fun part, it does
lol
You clearly haven't seen the finals
One shots (Technically) Terapagos
and Literally almost killed Flutter With VOLT SWITCH.
is galarian zapdos scarf worth using?
I think so
If you really need an intimidate/incineroar counter and a flying type and only 1 slot left G-Zapdos is most likely worth the slot
252 SpA Choice Specs Hadron Engine Miraidon Electro Drift vs. 252 HP / 12 SpD Terapagos-Stellar in Electric Terrain: 208-246 (77.9 - 92.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252 SpA Choice Specs Hadron Engine Miraidon Electro Drift vs. 252 HP / 12 SpD Tera Shell Terapagos-Terastal in Electric Terrain: 104-123 (51.4 - 60.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Why do i even bother with this-
And Scarf is G-Zapdos' best item
at this point its an OHKO more than that
iām thinking of a different mon 
crit hadron parabolic does abt half to a pult-
F
you dont use parabolic charge girl
+1 252+ Atk Ho-Oh Sacred Fire vs. 252 HP / 4 Def Calyrex-Ice: 200-236 (96.6 - 114%) -- 75% chance to OHKO this is pathetic
Chat be honest about this one
Tera fire is meant to be grass

bro my friend lost his amoonguss day 2 of Indy for this shit
uhhh-
idk it was a rental 
what a dumb hack check system
I hate Kaphotics almost as much as Verlis
Damn.
didn't everyone hate Verlis
dude that mf falsely Accused Everything for no reason other than Views
And hatred, which if he hates you, you are a good person
Or a popular content creator which are the only people he exposes
yeah
imagine he just falsely Accuse the Indiapolis Regionals for no reason
Then he will get nuked
Seriously though i am very surprised Youtube hasn't wiped Verlisify's face from YT
like honestly tho,if he does that,Its the perfect moment to ruin his life
I mean his life is already ruined, he doesn't notice it
mhm
Honestly though no reason to interact with a man-child more immature than a literal child
It does absolutely nothing to him
mhm
it would be funny that he accuse Miraidon for doing that much damage ruin the game
True
Calyrex is a bigger problem than it
bro Its Hadron+STAB+Electric Terrain.
of course is gonna do BS damage
I know how much damage it does, just saying that calyrex is a bigger problem
also i bet he can't win against all of us lol
true
I would make him rage that i beat him with a "bad" restricted called Zekrom
he does not even had the mental on Competitve Pokemon
oh and did i mention he plays Singles
thats gonna be Easier to use Miraidon to beat him
Even easier for Zekrom to spank his team
He would probably hink like "My opponents are stupid, i will do this play that isn't obvious" and then it backfires so easily
252 SpA Choice Specs Flutter Mane Dazzling Gleam vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Dialga-Origin: 90-106 (43.4 - 51.2%) -- 6.3% chance to 2HKO

I see AI-DreigonGPT everywhere
It's not even a joke
āStill feels strongā is promising
Feel bad for your friend
Zacian's Comeback???
Idk about that
In double restricteds (probably)
tbf with People using Miraidon after Indiapolis
I do think it is a requirement you run something to murder incin
its gonna negatively Impact Zacian due to also weak to Ground
But you don't do BS Damage like used to
plus,Remember that Miraidon won the Regional means people would bring Ground types to stop it-

How fucking stupid do you think I am
Oh, an idea popped up
Covert gapdos with coaching
oh?
so Zacian,Gapdos,Pelipper and Urshifu Water?
very not stupid at all (the thing that is crossed is a joke)
With a rise of miraidon
I would not go with all of those
I was saying that or rain not both
š
Thisāll probably be more of a meme set than anything guys lol
Where did you get that?
So far Hands is solving most of my matchups next to Miraidon. Pretty sweet. 
eww dozo
VictoryroadVGC
Only 2 Zacians in top 128
The best Lefties Terapagos is in 26th.
that specs hyperbeam pagos was something else
Similar logic to goldendragon but like, thereās the zacian that just murders all fluttermane

Terapagos just doing the Dragonite Impression and it worked out
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2024regg-2119936266
i could have played this so much better
Watch a replay of a PokƩmon battle between WooTang104 and HappyW! Format: [Gen 9] VGC 2024 Reg G; Date: May 7, 2024
though idk if glide would have KOād the pon
But thereās definitely that set now
Are you playing Lugia?
i still belive in CACM Terapagos with Cresselia but thats just me
yep
there is one Person using CACM Terapagos but with Clefairy instead of Cresselia
that has Gholdengo,Tornadus,Wellspring Pon and Incin
The turn you brought in chi yu needed to be rilla
Clear Amulet Calm Mind
tru
also I'll just refer Clear Amulet Calm Mind and Clear Amulet Swords Dance as CACM and CASD
yeahā¦.
Rillaboom is just so good Against Miraidon for Terrain Aspect
wait yeah My Team has Rillaboom and Terapagos,so if Rillaboom Fainted and its a 2v2,I'll still ahve Terapagos to remove Terrain
iām still kinda sad that pagosā ability is once per battle-
imagine if it was 1 per swapā¦
kinda defeats the point of uhā¦
mirai and korai being able to reset per swap but pagos canāt
If that was just a thing it could do regularly I think it would be kinda broken
Or sorry, overtuned
fair enough but it seems unfair that the boxes can reset every swap while pagos canāt
Ok but pagos removes both
252 SpA Choice Specs Hadron Engine Miraidon Electro Drift vs. 252 HP / 76+ SpD Cresselia in Electric Terrain: 166-196 (73.1 - 86.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Omg-
Not even Cresselia can tank that
If it was 1 or the other then whatever
But itās both
So your timing just matters a lot
true
Does anyone have a calculator for determining final stats of pokemon
honestly,that might be the Key to Destroy Weather/Terrain Teams
it depends on the set mostly honestly
we donāt really have a terrain denial but we have weather denial
@solid frigate what set do you run on your Rillaboom
Yea
i mean ig neutralizing gas can be counted asā¦
terrain denial
or would it be terrain delay,
Rillaboom @ Miracle Seed
Ability: Grassy Surge
Level: 50
Tera Type: Fire
EVs: 180 HP / 164 Atk / 44 Def / 100 SpD / 20 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Fake Out
- Wood Hammer
- U-turn
- Grassy Glide
Well Miracle Seed Rilla,but you want Bulk or Damage?
ok then bulk,Replace MS with AV is gonna be good
We run a similar set i run assault vest
i have this-
Menace 2 (Rillaboom) @ Assault Vest
Ability: Grassy Surge
Level: 50
Tera Type: Fire
EVs: 196 HP / 76 Atk / 108 Def / 76 SpD / 52 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Wood Hammer
- Grassy Glide
- U-turn
- Fake Out
yeah but then againm it really dependent on placing
I been running the calyrex team wolfey has but I am either running the wrong pokemon or more people are running counters to that team
I think I am going to go back to my Groudon king gambit team
I like swords dance king gambit
gambit kinda stopped being a thing halfway through reg F iirc
gambit is still around
just not as prevalent as in reg E
still is a good with defiant
yeah
how to teambuild singles ranked
I want to give this Kyogre team a try mystic water I usually prefer scarf but Iām going to try it out.
cause itās good 
should i use knock iff or sucker punch scarada singles ranked
Well in singles priority is not as important I feel like
like incin is king when it comes to role compression-
intim, knock off, debuff and pivot with parting shot, pivot with u turn, fake out
As doubles itās still good but not as important
Especially with fast pokemom so probably knock off
sucker punch imo
prio is more important for singles no?
Is this sv ranked?
but fluttermane?
I am running knock off parting shot will o wisp & fake out
idk they said singles
yah
i believe so
ranked is the bring six pick 3
Knock off is generally more important to be able to get rid of boots to allow rocks to chip your opponent
i thought you dont rlly set up in ranked
Am I crazy to get rid of parting shot for u turn or maybe flare blitz
For vgc
kinda-
itās rare though
still around, not as much
I just feel like too many people running that stupid amulet
but single ranked is only 3 mons?
Oh yeah I was thinking off showdown ou, my bad
true yea
nah u good thanks
boidudeman has given 1 Gen Rep to crephace
Tera dragon swords dance set can easily run away with the game with the correct conditions
ok but so can literally anything
for singles ranked, generally you make a team with synergy?
and what PokƩmon is king gambit good into
Tbh, I mostly play nu for singles so rocks is crazy important with the overall power level of the tier
The giraffe priority stopper often able to remove it in a single hit
wow its good into caly s craaaaaazy
ah i see
Haha
Gholdengo is the big one
What for king g ?
Gholdengo is a menace in singles
if theres a spike in dengo there might be a spike in gambit
Dark/Steel
Defiant, Supreme Overlord, Pressure (Hidden)
100/135/120/60/85/50
550
I personally run defiant
it is very tanky,so i guess it works
Swords Dance + defiant is even killing some dark types in a single hit
well for doubles itās defiant for singles itās supreme overlord no?
i know thatās what i said 
Singles its depends
General threats include zamazenta, which gets walled by gholdengo, great tusk which is really broken but does require ice spinner to hit gliscor, gliscor is crazy good at stalling teams so like supreme overload Kingambit is a solid answer into gholdengo
So like gliscor + gholdengo is really damn good in ou
zam is easy to remove-
just aeroblast it into oblivion
Most the top mons can only hit one or the other especially with scarf being so common on tusk
Aero blast I donāt have any PokĆ©mon
lugia though 
Except my shiny lugia
itās a signature so yeah
Or just have gholdengo wall it and setup to sweep
Yeah I guess I just donāt use any of those PokĆ©mon but this Groudon team I could tera dragon & be able to eat fighting types moves better
This for vgc?
I would love to get invited
I am not good enough yet i donāt think I only started 3-4 months ago
But learning
ok, you have that
imagine everyone else lol
Dude Tera water zam got me yesterday
I just havenāt had a single game against it but it got me good
I was just like uhh surging strikes in the rain could do some damage right
Tera water I was like oh read
tbf itās not much of an advantage when everything shreds it down

Ho-oh
Clear amulet ho-oh and booster howl scream tail
Is that a bad idea
Also tera dark or tera ghost on scream tail?
uhhh
dark
interesting ideaā¦
protects you from prankster taunt while also giving you a great typing vs calyrex shadow (on at least one turn; if they dont run tera blast fairy or fighting/draining kiss) they cant really touch you
https://pokepast.es/8adb4ff78e4eeb6b

I went into 3 games with these 4 and all opponents had trick room
yea, but i also have zac kek
Gonna need something for that
amoonguss
Amogus
One of them was against miraidon and I both forgot to set ho oh to tera grass and give rilla grassy surge
Goobed
Do I use amoonguss and rilla?
Well not like I should be worried about opposing grass right
sure yea
Also it's double regen
plus having electric resists is a good thing rn
agree
I'm always too worried about bleakwind weakness
then run pelipper instead
Why pelipper
more consistent
