You can't win with your favourites

And if you want the most viable team then it can be really hard to fit your (bad) favourites

Most of them have merit

Inteleon has merit

It's just that there are many better options

how are we feeling this team? I found it from James Baek’s newest video and it looks interesting with some off-meta picks, how would it fair against the current meta?

rustic mountain
#

hooh is weird. team seems cool but idk how consistent it is. if its the team that got top 8 at one of the special events they mustve really known it inside/out

polar nest
#

ok so i think i wanna build a team- with some help and i wanted to build around one of these four
Dialga Origin
Samurott-H
Greninja
Ceruledge
which should i do?

solid frigate
#

except for Dialga,all of them should be booted

polar nest
#

no i wanna build a team around one of them so i guess the answer is diagla?

rustic mountain
#

ceruledge bubbled out of top cut at stockholm

solid frigate
#

but then again,with Dialga tho

rustic mountain
#

they said 1 of them not all

polar nest
#

i do kinda want to build a ceruledge team bcuz its my fav gen 9 pokemon

#

not gonna just copy this one

rustic mountain
#

if the teams strong ceruledge can slot in. id recommend just picking up that team otherwise u have to find equivalents to have it achieve similar success matchup wise

#

other then that u can try dialga, the others are hot garbage

solid frigate
#

Yep as a Greninja fan i can confirm.

polar nest
#

i do kinda want to diferentiate bcuz doing the same thing as some1 else is very boring

solid frigate
#

its just not it

polar nest
rustic mountain
#

yea thats up to u, i personally dont mind just taking teams that are proven

polar nest
rustic mountain
#

id say u jus have to understand why it fits on that team tho or that sentiment so u can translate it effectively into ur own teambuilding

#

another reason taking and playing other ppls teams is helpful

polar nest
#

ok well how i usually do this i make a draft and better it with constructive critisicm

long narwhal
#

Waittt bss are only 3 mons va other 3??

rustic mountain
#

yea

the Brain rot is just

painful

rustic mountain

its casual battles man

solid frigate
#

cuz i haven't played with my Terapagos Team for a bit

molten oasis
#

Ah

rustic mountain
#

its more like they are fully playing casual. cant judge it on the same standards u do ranked

#

play sd if u wanna get practice in

solid frigate
#

with Caly S,Bundle,H-Arcanine,Flutter Mane,Dengo and i forgot the last one god damn it

rustic mountain
#

viable or not its still a casual ladder its inherently less sweaty/skill based

solid frigate

true

#

anyways

i still havent played terapagos

prolly will jus yoink the stockholm or indy 2nd place team

I’m also curious where my rank is

I was 802 last time I checked

it was abused so they made it more difficult to use

i was 660 something iirc

molten oasis

Nice

solid frigate
#

i haven't got into Master Ball tier yet

rustic mountain
#

watchu waitin for

molten oasis
#

It’s not too hard

solid frigate
#

well its hard when most of the matches i faced are Either Zamazenta,Koraidon and Caly Ice

#

top 3 Terapagos Worst MU

#

well sure i am now in Great Ball Rank 8

rustic mountain
#

gta have gameplans for that. your play and team should compensate. matches arent 1v1 restricteds

solid frigate
#

yeah i get you

rustic mountain
#

sometimes u do lose yea but it shouldnt b an autoloss everytime

molten oasis
#

cant go into a game without a gameplan

solid frigate
#

i have to play my team Very Safely cuz i need Terapagos to Set up

rustic mountain
#

yea u should swap to specs

#

ur playing it reactively instead of proactively doing set up

molten oasis
#

the team is very centered around terapagos setting up

forest arrow
#

Specs Pagos hits hard

rustic mountain
#

specs gives u instant pressure

molten oasis
#

so it kinda messes with their team comp, i think

rustic mountain
molten oasis
#

did they say set up wasnt working?

solid frigate
molten oasis
#

is it consistent?

solid frigate
#

but then again,it has redirection

solid frigate
molten oasis
#

ok well idt you should just hop on specs terapagos cuz thats what everyone else is using

rustic mountain
#

u can get to mball sure but if ur losing everytime to those teams might b worth considering a change to the team. unless u jus dont feel ur playing well enough

molten oasis
#

its good but the team isnt really built around specs terapagos

#

as far as im aware

solid frigate
#

welp.

Time to rebuild MOST of my Team

molten oasis

just build a new team at that point

solid frigate

yea

maybe not tera dark chi yu

I played it

i guess raging bolt is not retiring

no snarl chi yu?

Changed chi yu up tho

molten oasis

cant leave home without your raging bolt

alright then

#

Time to get 2 fresh Start Mochis for my Turtle and Chi Yu

molten oasis
#

i thought snarl was what you ran and then you had overheat as the 4th but i dont really run chi yu so, guess im wrong there

forest arrow
#

I changed it to snarl, grass Tera

#

the team was good tho

#

I like specs turtle

molten oasis
#

i play 1 guy and im gonna get really good with it

forest arrow
#

I just like to feel familiar with all the match ups

solid frigate
#

wait i have snarl on my Chi Yu-

rustic mountain
#

u could run snarl but w/ sash and that team comp i think those moves make sense

molten oasis
#

yea idt its bad just used to seeing snarl

rustic mountain

ur not really focusing on damage mitigation

solid frigate
#

also i have Snarl on bolt so it should be fine

rustic mountain
#

fs

foggy lodge
solid frigate
#

Ok i need like 3 Fresh Start Mochi

#

and i have none

foggy lodge

Watch it if you are able to see 22 turns and me trying to get the fissure just because

molten oasis
#

time to grind ogre oustin

rustic mountain
solid frigate
molten oasis
#

get friends

solid frigate
#

not a single one dropped

foggy lodge
#

The hard mode gives a lot actually

#

And if you complete it you get a free shiny Munchlax so it's fine

#

But in single player is imposible

solid frigate
#

i haven't even finish hard mode cuz by the time i want to do it, Boom Indigo disk is out

forest arrow
#

This could help you out

rustic mountain
#

or u can just use ev reducing berries

solid frigate
molten oasis
#

assuming you got a lot of those

forest arrow
#

10 per berry just like vitamins

rustic mountain
#

yea idk y u wouldnt. b4 fresh start mochi that was the only way to reset evs i bought em everytime i saw em at the ah

solid frigate
#

i have the least Grinding out of all

#

i guess i can make another Rental of Terapagos

forest arrow
#

Drago I did a last minute Dengo switch

#

It was the right call

molten oasis
#

pog

#

gholdengoat

solid frigate
#

I love how the school store in BB academy does not even have Dark Pulse TM

molten oasis
#

why aren't you just crafting it

solid frigate
#

idk i am stupid

#

time to auction

#

i just need enough EV reduce Berries

#

for Chi Yu,Bolt and Terapagos

#

FINALLY GOT ONE FRESH START MOCHI

strange fjord
#

noice

solid frigate
#

I'm too fucking slow lol

#

4 FRESH START

#

Time to rebuild most of my team

mighty stump
#

People r really creative with these rentals today arent they

solid frigate
#

Team rebuilt

solid frigate
#

time to climb the rank

cyan smelt
#

up to 1496 now

#

THAT DRACO mISS MY GOD

#

my luck after replacing the new Terapagos:📉

mighty stump
cyan smelt
#

i'm still not sure about rotom though

#

but maybe i need to choose which MUs i bring it to

mighty stump
#

Not the PokeRogue devs being transphobic omg

#

and homophobic

#

and zionists

#

omg

solid frigate
solid frigate
tidal blade
# mighty stump omg

that server is in so much drama right now but im out here enjoying the 3x shiny weekend

solid frigate
#

finally won against a team damn

mighty stump
#

Lol

#

I don’t think in good conscience I can play the game anymore

#

It was kinda boring after like 15 minutes anyways

solid frigate
#

i regret replacing CM terapagos with Specs

strange fjord
solid frigate
#

also i regret Playing Specs Terapagos now

cyan smelt
#

someone needs to tell drago about that because he was playing it

molten oasis
#

what do you want

solid frigate
molten oasis
#

i was in the call with him

lofty tartan
molten oasis
#

i already heard, im mentally distraught and pissed off

#

dont ping me thanks

solid frigate
#

ok-

#

Uhhhh what

cyan smelt
#

protect can fail if it's the last pokemon to use it

solid frigate
#

Calyrex is the second one to Protect it should work

cyan smelt
#

if those were the only two using protect then that's why it failed

solid frigate
cyan smelt
#

did it use protect the previous turn

solid frigate
#

ok nvm

#

he's gamble for a double protec

cyan smelt
#

crit mattered

solid frigate
#

so i lost 2 times in a row in SV but won 5 times in a row with Showdown?

dawn crown
#

im 1 game away to 1500 for the first time

rustic mountain
#

nice

rustic mountain
solid frigate
#

Wtf happened to me-

rustic mountain
#

im confused

#

r u talkin about after switching teams?

solid frigate
rustic mountain
#

yea it takes a bit to get used to a different team, especially going from set up balance to ho

solid frigate
#

i guess its not too bad

#

giving i am half awake

rustic mountain
#

hard to judge usually then

#

ik for me i jus rip thru games wen im tired so i try not to play wen i am

solid frigate
#

i see

#

but now its a good start

#

for showdown at least

rustic mountain
#

i mean u can save replays and watch later

#

that can still b helpful

#

win or loss

solid frigate
#

thats what i usually do lol

rustic mountain
#

jus usually better to practice wen u have some semblance of energy so ur not looking back at a lot saying i couldve done that better. jus doesnt help elevate ur play as much cuz ur jus correcting or noticing boneheaded plays

#

i guess it can help if u make those mistakes a lot tho

solid frigate
#

yeah true

rustic mountain
solid frigate
#

i'll do more games after a bit of rest

#

thanks for the advice

rustic mountain
#

no doubt

mighty stump
#

Locking in is a very real thing

#

FIRST GAME OF THE DAYYYYYYYYYYYYY

solid frigate
mighty stump
#

that was game-winning btw lmaooooo

solid frigate
#

damn-

rustic mountain
#

i had that and bleakwind double miss in the same turn

#

the game was literally over on the spot

mighty stump
#

I think I figured out Koraidon

rustic mountain
solid frigate
rustic mountain
#

no, chi yu koraidon

mighty stump
#

actually koraidon miraidon

rustic mountain
#

miraidon is just raging bolt

solid frigate
mighty stump
rustic mountain
#

do u bring venusaur

mighty stump
#

Yeah

#

Obv

#

Lol

rustic mountain
#

idk it just felt underwhelming wen i tried it and played vs it so was curious lol

mighty stump
#
#

flowed decently as well

#

so i'm gonna see where on the ladder we can get to with it later

#

Gonna need to check the Sludge Bomb calc vs Ogerpon

rustic mountain
#

chi yu making up for the misses w/ that crit and burn in g2 and 3 lol

#

not like either mattered

mighty stump
#

Silly fish

rustic mountain
solid frigate
molten oasis
cyan smelt
#

i was thinking about koraidon/venusaur recently

mighty stump
#

I know Hilligant is also common for Coaching shenanigans

cyan smelt
#

might try koraidon/hilligant

mighty stump
#

Btw

#

In case anyone needs ideas

#

Granted, some of the opinoins are probably outdated/misguided/not the full picture

#

But with a bit of critical thinking you can probably peruse this to just gain some form of insight

molten oasis
#

maybe i can see other zacian things

#

still, unsure on how i feel about the current thing

mighty stump
#

That entire thread is basically convinced about Zacian being S-tier

#

Lol

molten oasis
#

theyre wrong, but ok

#

gouging fire is apparently ok according to someone?

cyan smelt
#

did they write off zama and miraidon

molten oasis
#

pre indi and stockholm probably

mighty stump
#

I think Gouging is still pretty ok

molten oasis
#

i think incin hurts it

#

cuz, you'd rather have the incin half the time

#

ig i wouldn't be opposed to trying zac gouging again

mighty stump
#

Again, depends

cyan smelt
#

since when does smogon do vgc analysis anyway lol

molten oasis
#

the ground types i have to deal with are really just bloodmoon rn

mighty stump
#

Well Smogon's formats aren';t VGC related but there are VGC Smogon players

#

For instance

#

Rajan Bal

#

Lol

#

Underhill

cyan smelt
#

fair

mighty stump
#

Cause the fundamentals/method of thinking/analysis are pretty much similar thought patterns

molten oasis
#

do you think zac gouging, amoonguss, uh, smth like that could work?

cyan smelt
#

why not howl scream tail?

molten oasis
#

...i forgot about that but zac wants a dragon partner

#

or ig zac supports dragon partners really well offensively

mighty stump
#

Could work

molten oasis
#

zac bolt and zac drago are things ive had some success with

#

gimme a minute

mighty stump
#

I think you should

molten oasis
#

he ran a zac?

#

oh no he ran the regidrago

#

right?

mighty stump
#

No, Miraidon

#

I'm just saying you shuold read his teambuilding process

molten oasis
#

ahhh

#

link?

mighty stump
#

and it puts perspective into just how much work it can take to make something different work to a high level

molten oasis
#

it is proving difficult

#

to get zac to work but also i'll put the work in

#

more as im starting to run out of time

mighty stump
#

Dont forget to have fun with it

molten oasis
#

yea

#

this seems like they collaborated a lot on this

#

ok so things vary a lot

#

so from what im reading so far

#

teams change a lot but they pick out things theyve found worked well

#

lmfao i cant with "and im wolfe glick, and i think they should run incineroar because it's just the strngest freaking pokemon in the game"

mighty stump
#

lol

#

One key thing id love to point iut

#

Don’t just follow a player’s opinion just because you respect them

#

(unless you have a really bad opinion then like)

#

This isn’t an excuse to dispute players who know what theyre talking about if you’re trying to learn

molten oasis
#

mhmm

mighty stump
#

Like you obviously have to have good reasonings/justifications to back up the alternative options you wanna explore

molten oasis
#

thats fair

#

i kinda

#

i want to try gouging fire zac but i also kinda want to try drago zac again

#

hmm

rustic mountain
mighty stump
#

Honestly i wouldnt even Booster Spe Gouging

patent marsh
mighty stump
#

Id consider Howl with clam

#

Protect + Howl play > Gouging can start doing some decent chip

#

Blitz over Crash especially for things like Zama

#

and Farig

molten oasis
#

im going blitz

#

also, ok

#

do i just go bulkier then

mighty stump
#

could do

#

not sure

molten oasis
#

what does 150 speed get me

mighty stump
#

Outspeeds Gholdengo

#

and Adamant Shifu

molten oasis
#

oh that would be good for single strike

#

alr ill just do that then

#

ill just, idc that much

#

this team, besides the wellspring does not really like kyogre that much

mighty stump
#

Probably an Ogerpon/Pao lead into Tornogre stuff

molten oasis
#

yea

mighty stump
#

Could also consider Paonite

molten oasis
#

ig inner focus would help

rustic mountain
#

will paonite make its return

molten oasis
#

with incin

rustic mountain
#

i faced a donbozo team yday

mighty stump
#

I mean things like Paonite and stuff and all that are still like

#

Options

#

I don’t think people should close off past cores if they fit the logic

rustic mountain
#

idt so either

molten oasis
#

pao amoonguss and shifu are really just slap on rn

mighty stump
#

Like Dondozo with Defense Tatsu makes sense

#

Like against Zamazenta? Zama hard loses that

#

Body Press Dondozo also screws CIR

#

and Incineroar

#

Tera Grass ignores Amoonguss

rustic mountain
#

they didnt even activate idk wat their last was im assuming tatsu

mighty stump
#

I also like Sash/Mirror Coat or Counter Tatsugiri

rustic mountain
#

if any1 is interested in watching. not an exciting game

rustic mountain
molten oasis
#

i was about to send mine lol

#

ANOTHER FUCKING MIRAIDON

rustic mountain
#

defense dozo could b solid tbh

mighty stump
mighty stump
#

e.g. putting yourself into range so you can die without chipping Tatsu

#

Its interestin

#

I liked it

#

I thank Rank 7 JPN

rustic mountain
#

yea i think body press is in an interesting spot rn too so getting that +2 from commander is very nice

mighty stump
#

Unaware also huge

rustic mountain
#

protect/body press/order up/wave crash?

mighty stump
#

Yeah

#

Thats what I did

#

Leftoes

rustic mountain
mighty stump
#

Cause u dont care abt Intim

#

U just BPress

#

I think Order Up/Bpress + Sub can also kinda work

#

Heavy Slam too

rustic mountain
#

yea

#

im thinkin like csr or miraidon would be good restricteds for it

#

wat did u run

mighty stump
#

Grimmsnarl/Flutter/Bolt/Terapagos w Specs like what the guy ran

molten oasis
#

i won, very cool

mighty stump
#

I memed with Palkia but the RNG was shit

#

in one game i had

rustic mountain
#

specs terapagos seems good too

molten oasis
#

just to go into another miraidon

mighty stump
#

Hydro miss/Draco miss/Triple 3 Turn Sleep/Knock Off crit

rustic mountain
#

lmao wtf

mighty stump
#

He had Covert Cloak Grimm w FO/Sucker/Spirit Break

#

I tried that and added Fake Tears for Pagos

rustic mountain
mighty stump
#

its rlly fun

rustic mountain
#

yea i like varied grimm sets

#

it has so many moves it can run

#

makes it hard sometimes figuring out which 4 to use

#

i remember in swsh running 1 screen cuz i had intimidate haha

mighty stump
#

Thats smart tho

rustic mountain
#

yea it makes sense i had seen someone else doing it and was like hell yea. actually opened up the gameplay a lot instead of feeling like u needed both screens

#

atleast for me

molten oasis
#

besides the gouging fire dying t1 got another good game

solid trail
#

I need help teambuilding All Ik is I will have Flutter Mane and Oranguru on my team I need suggestions

mighty stump
#

Well

#

What are you trying to do

molten oasis
#

pao zac is kinda nice i wont lie

cyan smelt
#

so is pao zama

molten oasis
#

im aware

rustic mountain
molten oasis
#

the dogs both like similar partners

mighty stump
molten oasis
#

what turn?

mighty stump
#

T5

molten oasis
#

ah

mighty stump
#

Tera Stellar + SoR is disgusting though

molten oasis
#

it hurts

rustic mountain
#

im kinda annoyed they nerfed zacian like they did lol

molten oasis
#

same

rustic mountain
#

jus unneccesary

molten oasis
#

i think the ability should have stayed the same

rustic mountain
#

lower the atk or change the ability, both is just rough

mighty stump
#

I kinda get it

#

Especially if your main future legends are dragons

rustic mountain
#

in that context yea

mighty stump
#

But also

molten oasis
rustic mountain
#

cuz i have a theory they always wanna have the new legends take the spotlight

mighty stump
#

I feel it would have bumped it up too back up

molten oasis
#

fucking, hate it

mighty stump
#

like

#

it was overbearing without dmax

rustic mountain
#

so the mechanics and shit is geared toward making that happen

mighty stump
#

and also cause Ogerpon has the same mechanic

molten oasis
#

should have doubled into the incin last turn but ugh

rustic mountain
molten oasis
#

it wouldn't have killed

mighty stump
#

Mb

rustic mountain
#

ahh yea it was busted w/ dmax

molten oasis
#

bblade is just a 100 bp steel move

rustic mountain
#

it was really good in series 10 too but it def was manageable even w/ it not nerfed. i just think keeping its atk stat and having the boost be one time would be more then enough

molten oasis
#

they didnt do anything for it lol

mighty stump
#

I think without nerfing Intrepid Sword

rustic mountain
#

its the same issue w/ terapagos tbh, w/o tera its gna b really weird to use

mighty stump
#

There is just no valid counterplay

#

Cause it punishes Incin more than Zacian

#

One Play Rough, switch, and now you cant switch in to get rid of the second boost

rustic mountain
#

i felt i could cycle decently well vs it and players doing the same vs me but thats wat im saying taking away intrepid sword activation every time it enters the field is fine but lowering its atk too jus felt like overkill. its w/e i jus had enjoyed playing with the mon

#

feels like hard mode trynna win w/ it now lol like im good

molten oasis
#

i like playing on hard mode ig then

#

is tera ground caly a thing

rustic mountain
#

which is caly a

molten oasis
#

s

rustic mountain
#

ive never seen that

molten oasis
#

ive seen it here and there

rustic mountain
#

ghost/fighting/fairy even some dark

#

tera water too for cm sets

#

not ground tho

molten oasis
#

i mean he picked to click it infront of a chien pao

rustic mountain
#

yea jus not a tera type ive encountered on any ive faced is all

#

not saying some1 isnt runnin it

molten oasis
#

well, i hit 1500 with it

#

pao zac feels decent

#

fucking, i hate incin

#

idk what to di into it

#

everything i do jsut feels ass into it

#

doesnt matter what, could have a whole team of anti incin id still fucking lose to it

cyan smelt
#

what do you do against caly-s

molten oasis
#

wellspring pao

cyan smelt
#

yeah incin is hard for zac

molten oasis
#

ok well incin is hard for every team i build

craggy dagger
#

i’ve seen ground caly I but not caly S

molten oasis
#

well nvm if pao dies i lose to it

mighty stump
#

If ur getting frustrated already

#

do something else like re-review the previous matches or watch vods
