we can play some VGC 2016 if you want
Especially those stall deviants
singles you could stall and hazards all the time
everyone waiting on the one dude with a regenerator stall core
lmao
lol
I tried it with my brother but wasn’t a big fan
we should do a small vgc 2009 format thingy xD
fair,
I run Xerneas+Primal Kyogre lol
platinummmmmmmmmmmmmmm
We love Platinum

I can already see the broken tables after losing to 40 turn stall
I hate that core
the funny thing is that i know that VGC 2022 is 2 resitrcted and since i don't have SWSH i just kinda ignored it,but rn i wanna try Zacian Zygarde lol
me too i get cooked with it in singles 😭
plus clodsire
with unaware
yeah
i just forfiet if i see 3 bulky mons like that on the same team

Saw someone using a stall team
Watch a replay of a Pokémon battle between MorrisPXG456 and Hermmann! Format: [Gen 9] VGC 2024 Reg G; Date: May 10, 2024
and boi thats not successful at all
I ran unaware clodsire in AG cause I was MASSIVE legendary denier. It was my one and only way of stopping setters
lol
I had this odd belief each mon had to have a task, and one task only
oh hey emma
hai
Oh that’s emma
@next stump ice rider w bolt over pelipper is op
I thought it was a different one
who’d you think 
unaware throat spray skeledirge: 👀
had a friend help me tinker it and it feels so strong
not really cause there are lots of mon’s that outpace unaware now
want my paste to compare ig?
sure 🙂 i’d be happy to see it
i can get you one i just need to speedrun the dlc
Trading channel Mfs don’t budge 
aighty
i tell someone to ran Terapagos Tinkaton lol
it gets 2x attack first turn with torch song
way better than primarina tho
who was the og throat spray starter
no i’m saying these days there are pokemon that can outpace unaware so you’ll take a crap ton regardless
It’s a singles thing
yes but unaware is just a bonus
oh
I can relate to that set
nvm then 
yeah tera fairy alluring voice goes well too
they should've made its hidden ability punk rock
for its song moves
unaware is better but punk rock feels better
exactly
don't ggive me the mental image of Skeledirge in Roxie's Gym-
Facts
gen 10 starters gonna be a fusion of the past 9???
Question is, who’s the best last evo starter of all time (it isn’t a debate)
we counting megas?
That would be sad
competitively probably incin
Nope
I’m talking in general
if you say charizard..
are we counting hisui forms?
yes
imo i like chesnaught
the shiny is nice too
design wise i have to say rillaboom or hisuian decidueye
Grass type lovers?
i just love music based mon and grass types are cool so a giant drumming grass gorilla is right up my alley
grass is the most creative
grass has thousands of plants to go off of
fire is just fire
water can have coral and stuff but other than that idk
It’s based of animals
if we’re talking about starters i think water is the most creative type
best final evo?
design wise i like eevee decidueye (both forms) and primarina-
but if we’re talking vgc-
im taking rillaboom and incin even though i HATE them with a burning passion
first starters are just animals on fire and grass starters are just green animals
no way bro is counting the lets go games
maybe with a tree on their back
Everyone likes grass ones here lol
HEY I LIKE EEVEE
Doesn’t count
Design wise i do have to no let my bias cover me and i think Decidueye and Swampert have great designs
I MADE IT TO MASTER IN REG D WITH A FULL EEVEELUTION TEAM
Unless it’s the one from let’s go
in all caps too

Penny be like:
i am her 
decidueye, sceptile, chesnaught, are the best grass starter designs
I’m surprised no one said swampert though
LMAO
I DID SAID IT
the others COUGH (meganium) we dont talk about
as a kid i’ve always chosen the fire type starter but now i always find myself going grass

Greninja is third for me
i was gonna go quaxly in gen 9 but i dont really like quaquavals design
basic but makes sense
you should know by now i am a Greninja fan lol
mega looks mid 🥱
Funni
Bro is running
running vigorusly
mega sceptile looks mad cold
gen 10 should give us the option to choose any 3 stage line as a starter
i am quiet coding girl who likes eevees

Mega is the forced torture of Pokémon overshadowed by the selfish and on sided “friendship” we call slavery 
oh boi
quite literally too
thats alola Propaganda lol
Fr
i feel like it would be kind of balanced because if youre choosing something like a pseudo it would be a while until you get the final stage also i just want to use ursaluna as my starter
I want a baby lugia as a starter that slowly grows up so badly
no\
unless it turns water
then no
I’m ready to throw hands to defend my boi
OMG YESSSSSS
Lugia is fine the way it is
psychic flying 💀
plsssss-
i hope in later games we could actually evolve ursaring into bm luna
Represents its majestic nature nature

good pokemon tho
Watch a replay of a Pokémon battle between ZacRegiDrago27 and HappyW! Format: [Gen 9] VGC 2024 Reg G; Date: May 7, 2024
Glad to see someone agree so enthusiastically 
i’m taking this team onto cart today just gotta finish up tera type and EV’s of lugia
I’m picky so I still gotta grind for lunala lol
Haven’t made a cart team since gholdengo smeargle
Lugia and Terapagos:
Both have baby forms
But lugia is better
i remember grinding a cart team just to go back to showdown in a day
Perfect size too oml
i spent like a week looking for a shiny goltres just so i could use it in the team
F
eventually i got it tho and now its like my most prized pokemon possession
rarity wise
choice banded gorrilla tactics icicle crash darmanitan tera ice to any resist
I should do a DA hunt soon
i want to go for one of the ultra beasts
theres something about them i just love them, hope they come back in gen 10
I got my first DA shiny just yesterday lol, the odds are reall!!!!!!!
oooo who was it
shiny hunt zygarde for za!1!!!1!
It was actually the mon I used to kill lunala
i might go for shiny pheromosa just so i can run some speed swap shenanigans if it does come back in gen 10
This is also my second ever swsh shiny lol
dynamax adventures are so easy to hunt
that’s a funny looking lunala you have
imagine an ursaluna or caly-i with pheromosa’s speed
you have a 1/25 chance of getting a shiny

Hmm do u though?
it’s 1/100 no?
4 pokemon to catch, with base 1/100
Cause it’s more of 1/100 for the mon to be shiny
you get 4 chances
1/25 technically if you catch all 4 since you got 4 attempts per run
ohhh
💀
Maths wasn’t mathing lmfao
Me when i head empty on Playing Kyogre
is naganadel in DA i forget
i have no charm and i got-
lugia and latias shiny first try 
no i don’t think?
WTF
nada
rip
I went over odds + charm for a barf looking fox
i-
had a mini panic attack when i saw yellow latias-
I’d be having much more than a mini one

same
all my shiny legs have been traded for
i got quite a few
Saw a lunala as red then the lighting changed it back to purple
Eyes decided me
I actually hope I haven’t missed one cause of than lol
People:Terapagos Raid battle is a Kirby Boss
Me:Nah its a fucking Xenoblade reference
alright since im super indecisive which ultra beast do I DA hunt
Pheromosa- favorite to use competitively
Kartana- favorite design wise
Nihilego, Xurkitree, Celesteela- favorite shiny colors
Kartana is just so good
i’m doing a cress hunt without charm cause i’m an idiot 
lol
How many tries so far?
I agree but imo its shiny is a little lackluster
i have cress, xern, and katana queued up
like 200 something 
Good
i burned through 200 of my dive balls
I better get mine b4 u
me every hunt because completing the dex makes me fall alseep
I just watched a guy who has like 350 of the dex in a playlist lol
i’m missing like-
50 something and i’m too lazy to go find them
damn
go find them
Yeah laziness bad
there’s like-
2 vers exclusives the rest are weather dependant 
it will take longer to find the shiny without the charm than to actually get the remaining pokemon
i knowwww
U are 2x over odds
but i’m trying to finish the sv dlc cause i haven’t yet
How
90%s-
except for chem-
chem is at 64%
@craggy dagger
imagine hunting for shiny legendaries 
hello i have a new show recommendation for you
Shinies are just better
yah imm be hunting shiny calyrex
it called jellyfish cant swim in the night and i cannot stop obsessing over ittttttndhxchsnengkcosjrhf
I heard it’s 1/10000, try ur best and dont give up
Chien-Pao
Excepts a select few
chien paos shiny is badass
Poop-Pao
it's ugly 
wtf this is racism it has to be
oo i’ll give it a go it looks cool

HEYY-
it’s chocolate wym-

look here
palkia is crap. hard to play yk
is imprision Farigiraf alright within the Kyogre team?

honestly i should try making one now
pff 


i am tempted to put farigiraf with Kyogre to block opposing trick roomers using trick room-
well its good. just do it
fari prevents tclap, FO, and glide
and also good MU into CSR
and HH also just a good stuff into opposing TR user
for slow TR teams, u can safely fari kyogre and HH spout
farigiraf will never fall off unless they release a 4th mon that has its ability with a different name
in no way fari lives HH spout in rain
bro 
look at this shitty moveset
the only strong special water is hydro pump. next is surf which also hits teammates 
i feel so bad for Palkia's Water STAB
unless Wellspring Pon but still thats a problem
i haven't changed my Kyogre build
is there any reason to use normal dialga over origin other than using another item
was gonna just Origin Pulse,Thunder,Ice Beam and Protect
if you want a Bulky TR Mon then yes Normal Dialga can run AV
huh
Well i guess i can just run Scarf Kyogre then
should I build a kyogre team so I can turn off my brain and press water spout into anything that isnt immune
bulky TR mon? AV?
You have Others mons for TR
my O-Dialga does not have TR
I mostly just use Fari for TR
btw u gonna want rain dance on torn
yeah don't question why i did not put TR on O-Dialga
for manual rain
in case they change weather and u can predict it by just rain dance
ok imma pull my Terapagos Tornadus from it and use it
btw. if u want to just like do 4 move Kyogre without being locked into a single move, AV ogre is actually nice
im not joking
i actually tried that before
its decent against Caly Shadow when i testing

btw ur team is very weak tto flying

Leo giving advice? Wow crazy
rare sight but yeah i am listening
I see you lurking babe
fuck off monkey
Who's Off?

Hey babe
praying on his downfall REAL
my old friend 
Is Off White?
I'll do the rental now
Thanks @charred saddle
morrispxg456 has given 1 Gen Rep to abused1
These ain’t no hirachi
thats so racist my guy
but no. im asian, what do you think
No it's a joke as in the clothing 
where is the damn SECOND Kyogre i have
Got the Off Whites
Question about damage, would huge power + choice band be stronger than gorilla tactics + choice band, or not?

Off white clothing I don’t think he meant it in a bad way
ah nono haha. ik he's joking
You better know 
monkey is ass anyway. never took his word seriously 
oh yeah Leo,I might need to keep Scarf Kyogre cuz Archaludon feels Nesscessary to run AV
Okay haha ❤️
jk monke. i hate love you
Leo, you got two braincells and they're both fighting for 3rd place
Dw we're south east asian racism is part of our culture 
I’m sorry that’s the norm for yall. Truly saddening.
tbh the last time i tried scarf ogre its just disappointing
Hello does anyone have Pokémon scarlet, I have violet but I want a roaring moon
it missed some important KOs by sliver of health
Ah
Even in Asia, the South ain't escaping the racism allegations
Nah it's not as bad as westerners since we can actually tell jokes apart from real racism
specs just do so much, like specs tera water just KOs a lot of shits.
with HH i can easily pickup tera water caly ICe
Ofc ofc
Oh America South can tell jokes.....
We just got a lot who don't..........
Im part of the neither category lol
thats better. i still have some while u have none
It's impossible to underestimate you, even that's an overestimate

at least i still shower, while u scratch ur back like a gazillion times
DO I NOT HAVE MODEST MINT-
At least my back don't itch bro
How do you not have 999
wait ur making the team on cart directly?
You can buy them
i don't grind that much lol
u dont even test the team on showdown? 
thats crazy
You didn't even need to grind
The water gym place sells mints
i tested that before
ah okok
Just had to get a sylveon spamming hyper voice before dlc2 dropped
i just ask that advice for final confirmations
I dun even raid that much 
Primarina gets solo'd by Gholdengo
Just like the prophecy
FUCK.
Fuck.
ur only in tera raids 6800 chats

Go to Cascarrafa, a store there sells mints
got it from Chansey supplies in Mezagosa
Or you can go to the town where Ryme is
Hey
There's children here bro
Oh I guess mesagoza got it too cool cool
You can get it in Chansey Supplies, i reccomend Montenevera since you can Hyper Train there
btw, by running dragon cheer + palkia. should i just run draco meteor or pulse 
Fuck it, Meteor
Pedro
Your next step should be removing Palkia from the builder
Lmao
The real next step is to cook
yeah see. this monkey is ass
so rn
Most of my mons are fininished building,i just need to put it in the rental and make notes on this team
You just jealous cuz I got a big ol Southern dumpy
Playing Pokerogue rn, and it is loading and i am at the 27th wave
shaddap small bitch hands
A second rental? What’s the Restricted?
Any hand is small with your fuckin hands
Kyogre, i think
Nice we don’t have a rental for it yet
Bro is not washed at all
kyogre is only fun for a bit 
then it gets boring
Guys if you didn't know, Leo has fat fuckin hands and feet too
Also a Winnie the Pooh blanky cuz he a little baby bag bitch
i loved Kyogre so yeah and also kinda suprising not a lot here uses Kyogre
Yeah Kyogre was fun after 5 games
orimiss pulse
Me when I enter the chat with Leo
yeah. u basically just do a "how do i spout safely" puzzle
LMAO
no spout no win
I love this picture
No u smell like bitch
also me when i enter the chat and theres you
Fuck your FWG core Peli Stonks lmao
orimiss pulse indeed
How to do What Blue Whales does
Wait does Orcas have Spout?
No I don't
Cuz I ain't got none 
Is kyurem black viable for this reg ?
Wow assuming Tofu is a biologist
Wow
oh viable mb. thought eligible
Not really
he is a certified vet u dumb fuck
Did you remake this Monkey?
Vet ain't biologist though dumbass
Monke you knew this
Someone else did
its a branch 
Gray whales, for example, have a double blow-hole, and their spouts are heart-shaped. Humpback whales have a tall, column-shaped blow. And orcas typically have a bushy-shaped blow. If you see something that looks like a blow, keep watching!
Ok so Kyogre has Blowhole
You're a branch you moron
Its a whale, what did you expect?
y'see how its going when theres monke?
Orca,but still
btw i havent finished the team and i dont even wanna play this palkia team 
Ngl i forgot if Orcas have blowholes
But also yes
Spout ain't the word though, it's blowhole
The spout is what they call the water that it blows out
Cuz you realize it ass huh
ye
Oh because i seen it alot when pushing on bss i guess because of format difference really want to use it tho
Oh BSS idfk
hmm im either thinking cloak jugulis and ttailwind dragon cheer or just regular booster
fair point lol
How about kyurem white then ?
VGC you don't see it much, Kyurem White better and even that ain't as much
Kyurem W is basically making yourself play VGC in hard mode, not fun
Oh damn okay then guess i will just build it for bss is there place to know about bss meta ?
oh BSS idk anything bout that sorry
Specs snow HH blizzard would like to have a word with you
time to put the team in a rental
https://pokepast.es/66be215ac5787c4f
cough cough
its a fun team 
Pelipper wide guard is here to listen
take away your snow too
specs kyurem W is ass
Taunt is also here to give the wrod
glowking
I'm always on hard mode (I'm dumb as fuck)
AV better
I shud put my teams in rentals but I'm becoming lazy with hades 2
1 whole gholdengo
HH flare 
AV way better on Kyu
Fuck Gholdengo
(This post has been made by a Zamazenta player)
Trust lyco, I love Kyurem w, but it’s ass
redirect eat my balls
its good and fun. but its so ass to use
theres so much stuff u need to be aware of
I know it is ass, just saying that it's blizzards can be ridiculous
One great thing doesn't redeem the pokemon alone
Oh I know
shit
That's interesting i might build it but it's okay for the kyurem white to be tera fire instead of ice right ?
Quit looking in the mirror
i think its fine, but i just like the immediate damage boost, and ice still gets the defense boost from snow
It’s better defensively, which kyurem needs because it’s slow
with glowking, u can do glowking deedee. TR and chilly reception put back kyurem
I say Fire tera better
and Eforce LO slowking hits so hard for some reason
But you do lose the ice def boost
i just do ice just for damage, and still get the def boost + AV
Ice and Fire teras are good
making it very bulky with veil
Sounds like a skill issue
u can kinda change icy wind to EP for coverage
welp- Time to Make the Notes
Yeah and you get rid of dragon weaknesses veil should be enough with def boost to boot
i also nasty plotted this turn so if fungus lived its either more redirect nightmare fuel or its fake out time :3
just scary fighting types lol
i uhhh. blizzard HH ez
Urshifu I’m looking at you
Hehehehehehe
Shield Dog
yeah, i find it quite hard to position around dark urshifu with this team
thats why i opted flutter
I've been thinking more and more about Wo Chien lately
Someone help
Also Urshifu:Surging Strikes everything that is not Storm Drain Gastro and Tatsu or Wellspring Pon
might even do speed booster flutter + icy wind, but idk how i feel with less damage
Yeah flutter definitely has to be ran with Kyu W for sure
i mean with icy wind flutter i can do EP kyurem
i find myself rarely clicking icy wind, unless im playing towards a flutter/ rockpon endgame
Oh that’s interesting you have icy wind on Kyu, I just put EP and had Icy wind on flutter
but icy wind flutter means speed booster and do less damage
yeah flutter was lacking in the damage department maybe I would’ve been better off with specs
should i use this for the notes for background like how i did with Terapagos,or should i keep it simple
yeah
it just helped Kyu outspeed thing it can’t you know cause it’s speed tier is ass and just has to be in the middling speed tier
i honestly just keep a mental notes 
only saving funny replays or losses
lel
Kyu def a 10 for me design wise and my love for it, it’s fun and at least “OK”
yeah but the thing with icy wind support for kyurem also means u kinda want to have a bit of speed investment to gain advantage out of the icy wind.
dont really liked the idea and so i just put all into bulk
even with speed investment its still so slow for some reason 
i mean compared to other restricteds
then the rest of it are just basically so slow
Yeah I gave up on the life orb variant when I found out slow it was, went straight to AV
kyurem is so cool yeah
Dragon/Ice
Turboblaze
125/120/90/170/100/95
700
Kyurem
it really needs tailwind
but then again,depends on the Kyurem
oh and the thing with snow is, theres currently no good manual snow setter
i mean torn can run it, + tailwind
but not having veil is just weird

I ran into ally switch today I was like damnnnnnn I got got lol
ally switch is just CTS stuff so yeah 
still managed to pull through with the W but my heart started racing 😂
after seeing it once, just the pressure of "ally switch this turn or nah"
its so dumb 
Yeah I made some hard reads but they came out correct, last turn they insta DQ’d
damn pog
ice horse is stupid😭
stupidly strong
it can just click glacial lance in like ass MU and just go away with it, still needs nice supports. but its so strong
i argue is the best restricted rn
Yeah you can’t go wrong with it, just need to figure out my damn miraidon MU and I’ll be okay
i think with tera too, people kinda have to respect just the CTS tera stuff.
fire tera, or grass tera
1.Caly Ice
2.Miraidon
3.Terapagos
4.Caly Shadow
5.Kyogre
WoW to fire tera and u lost a turn
Zamazenta is 6th
spore tera water moonguss then suddenly its grass tera. ur ded
its just so hard to play CTS tbh. liked Bo3 more, but my smol brain cant handle it when im busy
I always respect the Tera and bait it out of them, they never do to me tho, like all the time I run into incin and they still just bring in amoonguss to spore and I’m like nahhhh, Tera grass
Thanks for the atk boost you’re about to give me tho for trying that 🤣
Then incin comes in to knock off which it should’ve done turn 1
max max amoonguss doesnt die to galcial right? or is it still a OHKO
High horsepower goodnight
oh and for some fucking reason. no STAB HH feels like STAB in caly I
Uhh mine lived glacial earlier and I’m not max max
ah okok
maybe I got the knock off play into parting shot I forgot honestly
lemme check calc
also, CA is just a menace
gen 9 offers some insane items 
CA and cloak is just so stupid
252+ Atk Calyrex-Ice Rider Glacial Lance vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Amoonguss: 180-212 (81.4 - 95.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Sitrus Berry recovery
Why Kyogre looks like he is in a mood
Okay yeah i definitely did the parting shot play
Holy shi
ooo
CA is prob my fav new item, cloak is pog too tho
But yeah there’s no way my Amoonguss lived that glacial, i definitely knock off parting shotted it
I run CA on Terapagos and i love it a lot
btw zacian CA is better than crowned
just because intrepid still activates, and u dont get intim cycled
just no steel typing and blade
I can see it, since the nerf to its ability, I never played the doggos much tho before, I’m still new to restricted as a whole
its also my first restricted game too

wanted free switch to amoonguss
definitely more flexible than the crowned zacian i think
since u dont really care about incin now
unless you get knocked off
Weatherball you next then
WHY DO I ALWAYS SPELL GROUND AS GROUDON
Miraidon-
just go grass
aight
yeah-
Spore and resist still better than ground tho
and ground as a defensive typing is ass
its neutral to almost every thing
its like ur covering ur ass, but ur whole body is naked now
And things like grass that wanna hit you anyways can still hit you for SE
I think I wanna use offensive pelipper
Idk what legendary wants rain that isn't kyogre tho
Solgaleo and dusk mane?
Pelipper @ Focus Sash
Ability: Drizzle
Level: 50
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Stellar
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Weather Ball
- Hurricane
- Wide Guard
- Protect
Caly Ice
Tera stellar sounds like a stretch
Why not just water?
or Steel,or Flying
Boost to both stabs in a pinch, and if rains gone no more weather ball
ur most likely either not gonna click it or damage i presume
yeah I usually don’t Tera peli anyways
Is more for in a pinch situations, where I need the damage to pick up a KO
I can see it but does that happen more often than you'd use a tera to live a move
I mean you do you, on my team, I like the extra damage
Not sure if I want to do pelliper ice rider
Peli is frail, I don’t think Tera will help much
I'll probably do like solgaleo or something
Peli Zama
Even ghost for fake out?
That’s good too I just protect
I wanna do tailwind over protect if I have wide guard
It would be fun to use something like fake tears
I think I should try using grafaiai again
It's actually one of my favorites to use this gen
Slightly bulkier sableye
Trades some of the utility moves for having prankster parting shot

for some reason they threw the game by clicking TR

i respected t1 TR too much 
and didnt know that they are quite speedy BM. shouldve considered it since its a tailroom team
oh nvm, honse is slower 
Damn they threw hard
Actually I'll never try to guess ever again
Peli doing big damage knocking Ursaluna for breakfast even after tera lol
Weatherball does insane damage
Rain boosted 100 bp stab
Rain boost and stab
Better accuracy than pump
thats insane ye
For the small bp trade off
Prob my fav on the team WG 90% picking up surprising KOs the other 10%
WG?
Wide guard haha
toilet birb 
It’s so funny lol
theres also jumbokek
Aww I didn’t see it
but i think its only available for supporter + booster
Ahhh darn
crawled my way back up to almost 1500, but lost like 5% GXE
damn
damn you guys can play a lot in one sitting huh
i can at least
I just lay in my bed at night cranking games out on my phone
if i play it like that im definitely losing
Skill issue
shutup bitch
You said shut up bitch, yet you still talkin
ill never understand the conflict between u2
oh them-
old married bickering couple energy
fr
lul
i think im quitting the koraidon team man
i actually cant get to 1500
i think the team is good but i cant use it (keep finding myself with island mons)

it definitely can reach 1500 at 70% GXE though, i was one win away from it yesterday
so thats that ig, second team done

that "thing" is what cost me many games
almost done the notes for Kyogre
yk what finally made me stop? a tera ghost kyogre
the one and only time i decide do FO kyogre at the start, it has tera ghost
Tera Ghost Kyogre?
yes
damn they really hate Fake out
all they had to do wasuse farig
but its the suprise factor, everyone these days cancels OTS
thats why i use Imprison Fari
almost at 1600. just a few more games away
very nice, which team?
gonna swap Rhyperior for Rhydon for fun tho.
tortol
the piloting must be crazy
i mean, if it works, it's not too bad right?

true
zoro carries tbh
suprise factor is the bane of my competetive gameplay
but at the end of the day its my fault for doing Bo1
Tera Ice Meowscarada: kek
i switched my Tera Ice Meow for Booster Bolt
the irony

i mean,Urshifu,Amoonguss,Meowscarada and Ogerpon weak to flying soooo
zacian dragos fav mon confirmed?
oh yeah, torn victims
It’s in the top 3
on bo3 i got a similar team gets me around this so far
It’s almost always a tie between a9 Hydra and Zac
Greninja,Giratina,Garchomp for me
Basic but nothing wrong with these 3
tho instead of rhyperior its a munchlax
lugia and swampert for me 
Terapagos might beat Garchomp and Giratina cuz kek
i have no other strong opinion on any other mons
fair
anyways ive decided to take a lil break from compet, lost an incredible amount of battles today and feel like i should back off a bit
cya guys in a few days
damn see ya
IS THAT A COTTONEE?!?!?!??!

Yooo Cottonee hype
frfr
special Rayquaza wtf
the prankster stun spore strats
IKR!
oo pog nice
wah-?
already?
Ye
which regionals?
Stockholm? I think?
ohoho
cant wait to see what people bring after seeing the miraidon win
don't think miraidon is getting two regional wins in a row tbh
Neat
does anyone know the ev spreads/ have good ev spreads for the rajan miraidon team?
he has one shot a lot of mfs with electric moves
252 SpA Choice Specs Hadron Engine Miraidon Helping Hand Electro Drift vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Latios in Electric Terrain: 156-184 (100.6 - 118.7%) -- guaranteed OHKO
idk, dont remember tbh
252+ SpA Choice Specs Hadron Engine Miraidon Electro Drift vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Latios in Electric Terrain: 114-135 (73.5 - 87%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
modest but no helping hand
oh wait it was tera electric no?
Teah
Yeah
252+ SpA Choice Specs Hadron Engine Tera Electric Miraidon Electro Drift vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Latios in Electric Terrain: 153-181 (98.7 - 116.7%) -- 93.8% chance to OHKO
timid stil has a ~43% to ohko i believe
my calc page refreshed since im on mobile so i cant check 
either way, miraidon was ballin
fully invested in zacian?
why not?
252 SpA Choice Specs Hadron Engine Tera Electric Miraidon Volt Switch vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Incineroar in Electric Terrain: 164-194 (81.1 - 96%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Oh wait
right-
Guess it could have been impish nvm
but was the incin fully invested in sp def
impish????
Or like less invested
funny fire cat
Here’s a more casual calc
252 SpA Choice Specs Hadron Engine Tera Electric Miraidon Volt Switch vs. 252 HP / 156+ SpD Incineroar in Electric Terrain: 180-212 (89.1 - 104.9%) -- 31.3% chance to OHKO
But I think a lot of signs like
Point to it being modest cus of the consistent damage output
gotta work more on my specialized damage calc for situations like this smh
how does this look https://pokepast.es/35836339451972da
tbh am not a big fan of fari
kinda wanna swap it out
Tempted to run a scarfed Tera ground Chi-Yu with Tera blast to counter that specs Miraidon that’s running around.
@untold urchin
Idk if it would kill or not
PANCAKES
wouldn’t be enough iirc
unless you go max max?
so what could i switch fair out for?
It’s a max special attack modest chi Yu
yesss-
choco syrup and butter pancakes
frfr
then maybe…
should still calc it though
i like running scarf chi yu with some bulk
Lycoris (Chi-Yu) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Beads of Ruin
Level: 50
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 76 HP / 4 Def / 188 SpA / 4 SpD / 236 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Tera Blast
- Heat Wave
- Dark Pulse
- Overheat
though i’m thinking tera grass for this reg
it’s calced to outspeed scarf shifu iirc-
i think adamant?
maybe jolly-
i would keep fari
it offers a way to prevent trick room from going up as well as priority denial
I tried him out and didn't like him that much
If the miradon has no bulk, then it ohkos
Ooooh
that’s all you need-
then fake out and sucker punch can’t touch you
as long as fari is on the field
Ok yea that changes my mind
Priority moves used by opposing Pokemon targeting this Pokemon or its allies are prevented from having an effect.
Ok nvm
yeah
pretty essential to pancakechu imo since frail psychic type
Yea
Yes I’m going in on Zac rn
To continue that, I found Regidrago and Zac to feel pretty strong
Not like, meta defining but it’s fun, especially since I like running lower usage mons
it seems like a cool combo
If I can get Prima and gapdos to feel strong
And top 8 a tournament with it, I can get this to work
cherry on top is that they're both from the same gen xD
lol yea
Didn’t realize this at first but fsiry steel perfectly covers Regidrago
You hit ice dragon and fsiry for SE, and wall said types as well
yeah
Then as a benefit you also eat dsrk hits
what do you have for ground MU's
Regidrago clicks funny button 
ah true
No but uh, I have wellspring and rilla
And pelipper
My mu into ground types is fine
Have to be careful of incin tho, which is half the point of doing peli Zac
I need incin to die lol
Hold on I’ll share the paste rn, I played a bo3 into you with this nova
mhm i remember
I want to use regidrago
https://pokepast.es/d7d2cc35ebc5232f peli is stellar Tera
Also going Tera dragon cuz check this out
252+ SpA Dragon Fang Dragon's Maw Tera-Dragon Regidrago Draco Meteor vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Tera-Electric Miraidon: 218-258 (123.8 - 146.5%) -- guaranteed OHKO
And also 252+ SpA Dragon Fang Dragon's Maw Tera-Dragon Regidrago Draco Meteor vs. 236 HP / 124+ SpD Incineroar: 214-252 (107 - 126%) -- guaranteed OHKO
you're saying it didnt ohko before-
Energy also Ohkos Mirai
But I half expect Regidrago to have taken chip so
Anyway gotta go back to work
gl
check this team out
thought you'd be interested
i dont ping people for no reason
truu but i did spend 23 hrs shiny hunting 1 in lgpe trades
I like this core but can't decide what restricted to use
I used dusk mane with it because I like the mon but that decision is not final
i cant tell if thats a good or bad thing
i dont play vgc so i have no idea
o
Fake out is very expected
It's a really good move competitively
How about upper hand on alola raichu instead
Why
So like just use farigiraf or indeedee
Or protect
The only point in upper hand is using it on incineroar
lmao
But if they don't fake out you waste a turn
Can you translate
They are basically saying that they are bringing a very unexpected/random team, and that it's either going to be historical or a disaster
It's the guy who ended in 3rd place at NAIC
my bad it was EUIC lol
Scream tail era is coming
Alex Gomez and Eric Rios are doing unexpected shit, wow
Literally the people who did Spanish 6 in Liverpool
hoi
Weren't they the people QD'd for having a fully dupe ting-lu porygon team
Well I remember Alex gomez was one of em dun remember the other 
I thought they got suspension from entering
They got DQ'ed cuz cloned Ting Lus
