I honestly have given up trying to help 1UK3
i mean modest caly gets outsped by jolly korai 
you need to make it max max min
Ig
he is just too paranoid
on like Wide guard and Trick Room
Then max the speed, and then you outspeed the things you should outspeed
wow, you have a very good reaction to it unlike me
Yes but then I cant invest in bulk
Because i did give him advice Yesterday
Ngl i just want to tell him "listen to us for once in your life", probably in caps
Caly Shadow is A Hyper Offensive Mon,meaning you need to be as fast as you can
then dont expect to outspeed 135 base mons if you invest in bulk
Wouldn't be if he wasn't set on Indeedee Caly S EForce
What if I run hoice scarf caly
But I'm not gonna go on about it cuz like
I got better things to do with my time lol
Heck i am using Dawn Wings Indeedee Eforce and i am not worried about it
Sash is better
Yes but then what will my rapid urshifu do to survive a hit
in like what occasion? using Mystic Water?
He dies when something talks to loud
Same, i rather give advice to those who actually listen than 1UK3
Also I hope I don't get in trouble for this
i feel like you won't cuz i remember he said Terapagos is Mid and i am LIVID

Name: Pokémon Scarlet and...
I mean like I run focus sash on urshifu
I want to throw a goofy ahh metal pipe at him ngl
Sash on urshifu isn't bad but since its a Hyper Offensive Team,i recommend Scarf Shifu and Sash Caly S
You know, the metal pipe from the memes
Friend of mine who does VGC content made a video showing off an updated version of my Zamazenta team
Nice
You don't know my team tho
can you show it then?
then send the whole team?
I have no idea what type of team it is tho
I'll put it as a rental and tell u the code
Or send as a Pokepaste
just do pokepaste.
most Calyrex Shadow Rider Teams are Hyper Offense(No shit Sherlock)




how are we supposed to help if we didnt even see the EVs
you can put the team in Showdown
EV spread matters.
The code of my team is G3C6JG
one of the more important mechanic for competitve pokemon
right. thanks that doesnt solve anything
Idk my own ev spreads
ok gl
Pray that they are good evs
cant even help if u dont know what u dont know
because for a newbie i doubt it
If it looks like it has enough evs I stop and start training a different one
thats not even the problem.
is it just me,Or do i see a Pattern that Most People Use Caly S Teams in the Server are mostly people with minimal competitiive Knowledge(I'm not doubting them)
Make sure to use my teams to get some crazy dubs
aight im out of this shitshow
Also @sharp trail plz edit your rental post to update your paste, as it's incomplete
i have to do some dish Washing,so later
GET BACK HERE MOTHERFUCKER
All y'all trapped here with me
isnt his rental post team complete? i dont see anything weird
What is poke paste
@stark kindle trap Leo in here with me
btw monke, that team is basically ur team 
just different spread i think (havent compared them)
Click the paste
Also yes
Then again my team is basic as shit so
🪤
ah. 
Lmao
i dont like cheese that much bro
https://pokepast.es/1c7b80f35246ae10
site to help you see the whole team. spread. items and IVs.
wait a darn Minute,that rental is just Monke's But Switching Jugilus into Pelipper
make the team in showdown. then import it to pokepaste.
well not that u can even copy paste ur team to showdown since u dont even know the EV spread.
i hate greens 
do you want your Burger to have no Pickles or Lettuce?
Can you show me the spread forbmy team the code is G3C6JG idk how to use poke paste
im not gonna fucking reverse engineer ur whole ass spread 
we don't even know what EVs are there how the fuck do we even know
Or can someone tell me how to use it
new team --> change format to reg G --> add pokemon
True, we have 1UK3 A.K.A. advice ignorer and I'm I'm I'm
then u just do the calcs for ur own spread
Oh my goodness that's pokemon showdown
Put the Pokemon in the Teambuilder, do everything on it,Including the EVs,Abilities,Tera Type and Moves, 2nd link is the open pokepaste
bro.
I'm allergic to that
Why?
THEN WHAT DO YOU WANT
It's one of the best websites for competitive pokemon
Pokemon showdown development are trying to steal the moon they are evil you need to play sv it's much better
i dont fucking care if u hate it or something something ass shit.
Me,Leo and Lyco's Reaction:
if u want us to help you. do us a fucking favour
What the actual fuck are you talking about?
SEND UR TEAM PASTE OR TEAM SPREADS

How do I save a pokepaste?
he is a fucking Lost Cause
I can confirm this
Um the thing is idk how to use poke paste
And 1UK3
You are really yapping with this one
I had one but now it is gone
ITS A FUCKING BUTTON
or y'know just
try to rebuild the team then?
Recreate it
The button says "Upload to Pokepaste", ITS RIGHT THERE
Does it work for sv tho
Do you have the team/spreads and everything on Showdown?
Oh you use showdown
Nope
why are you being so idiotic On it
Ohh that's why
I went to pokepaste directly
Sv is amazing showdown is evil
Showdown is not correlate to SV
Also the pokepaste in your rental does not show your team
#competitive_discussion message
Here's instructions
[Message](#competitive_discussion message) in #competitive_discussion
Do I dm u a pic of it?
....
That's why he's here lol
No
That's what people use to build teams and test before putting on cart to save resources
Thanks
ya know what Leo,I might ignore him to keep my sanity alive (Not that if i have that much
Will work on that when I get the time
No problem
Also appreciate the Zamazenta love
See? R4M1 actually knows his stuff
Unlike 2 others
Hello
Ok all this stuff is getting confusing I'm going off
I kinda like his modification from Juglius to Pelipper
its not even that confusing
No its the opposite
Heck Leo probably has the best Explanation
SV is evil and Showdown is Amazing
SV is evil and Showdown is Amazing
ur the one making it complicated.
Lets just say both are evil but yeah i do agree
Honestly Jugulis is the adjustment lmao
Lmao
and tbf, saying this is evil this is good this is shit is subjective. no one fucking cares
Hell I went back to Pelipper for updated version in that video I showed
Same, i lost a lot from waking up at 7:00 and 1UK3
Anyways so
So i will preserve the bit of sanity i have left
you dont like it? good for you, no one cares.
but u want advice. do us a favour and send the paste.
how can we help if we dont even know the complete spread
like blind advice?
My team rn is dnite chien pao miraidon ting lu and gholdengo what shouls be my last mon ( cant use scarlet pokemon )
another racist commentary by monke. nothing weird
You're racist for not acknowledging China No 3
Its Monke, what did you expect?

Plus China has a shit president
lmao
Tbh when you put up a poll asking for yes or no to do something, people who don't care, instead of saying no, will just ignore it
Is there any tourdaments happing and if not where do i find to do some
You usually should expect a yes
General Sectary
And yes i couldn't agree more
I literally got Migrated because HK is shit now
?
Good to know from an actual Chinese person
I am just a Spanish person and Pedro Sanchez hater
Tofu is also Chinese but i think he is a Overseas Chinese so yeah i think most of Chinese stuff just ask me or Tofu
Not here
Ok
My team rn is dnite chien pao miraidon ting lu and gholdengo what shouls be my last mon ( cant use scarlet pokemon )
Not sure tbh
Online where can i find some
Doesn't feel like miraidon fits
Pokepaste
The team needs to have better members
Not here
Kk 1sec
Can u tell me where or point me in direction
Miraidon RN does best with Farigiraf + Ursaluna-Blood Moon
Limitless tournaments?
Limitless
Where
It's a website
There is a website called Limitless
Think it's play.limitless
Lot of community operated tournaments there if you can do em
That sounds so odd but it's true
I've never used it but yeah i think you can find some there
Thx
bigboyrich0109_61289 has given 1 Gen Rep to dollarmonke
Fast flying motorbike dragon in the trick room team
Yup
Blocking Spore in TR is a blessing to have
It sounds like something that shouldn't work but does
Plus it does amazing in TailRoom
Room with Farig Luna and smth
Tailwind with Miraidon Tailwind setter smth
The tailwind setter can be torn whim or jugulis
Whim sounds best for the role
i like Jugulis
True but you can make cases for torn jugulis and Pelipper
Focus sash or something like that
Or Cloak
So you don't instantly die against Flutter Mane lead
I use Cloak Pelipper
You know what I haven't in years on whimsicott
Feels nice to block Fake out and snarl
Fling light ball
WTF are those natures?
Ignore natures
That sure looks like a team
uhhh
I forgot mb
We have to change many things on that team
Chien Pao should never run swords dance
Guys help me
3 attacks and protect thats all
Uhhh
Is BSS btw singles not 2v2
i'm not an expert in singles, i don't know shit about it but why U-turn Miraidon?
DNite doesn't fit at all
Is stealth rock good in 3v3?
Nah
Idk
Idk ppl said its better on another server
Its 3v3 so probably no
That server is shit
Probably for the ground immunity
So drgapult instead?
No
Then what
You have 2 leftovers
We basically have to start from scratch on your team
Bc i wouls use great tusk and flutetr but i cant bc i on violet and i dont have nintendo online
Then why are you making a bss team
Then you can't even do
Great Tusk is bad anyways
You won't be able to use it
It's for singles
Yeah, still bad in singles
Then why care if you can get it in violet
Hasn't it like never dropped from ou
Not OU
Bc i plan on buying nintendo online
I am referring to BSS
Then you'll be able to trade
you can move ur mons from scarlet to violet with home.
OU is Great Tusk's home turf
doesnt even need NSO
You played bss?
You do need 2 games for that tho
Ik but help me make a team in general
Me? A tiny bit in reg A and B
With miraidon
Bruh then what do you know about great tusk in reg g
Let me go check the usage rates in BSS
Well valiant is supposed to be pretty good for singles and you do have the terrain
Wasn't hypnosis valiant one of the reasons ou banned sleep
Great tusk has a 1.26% usage in BSS reg G
That and Darkrai and Deoxys-S
What does reg a b c d and other mean?
Seasons
Regulations
jokes aside, regulations. as it name implies it has different set of rules
What season are we on?
while we at it, Add corny as well, bro had to brag about araquanid everytime
G
its not season tho.... season doesnt imply different sets of rule
He does have a skill issue thats for sure
do you see me brag about Greninja everytime?
ya know, my favourite Pokemon?
No
And what abt the team should i restart? Now with scarlet mons as well ?
you kinda do on Zekrom but at least you know how to use
TBH i was just saying it wasn't that trash
Or maybe a little more i barely remember
also Corny Copied 4/6 Wolfey's Smeragle team and also still using Bundle Mirai
yep
yeah so you at least have some tendency on it
Heya Torrent! You busy at the moment?
I'm fine rn,not busy
I was thinking some more VGC in VC if you were available
Can I use inteleon bc ut one of my faves
u can. but its shit.
Is it viable
Yes
no.
What the stats
???
I want to keep it a secret to i can't reveal anything
But one hint: It's not Zekrom
Hol up it is good
The stats are acc pretty good
We just need to see the moveset
What are you talking about? Just curious
·
Inteleon
and another dumb crap
It's a glass Canon thl
look at the mirror.
Bro I swear I always be lokong the pokemon that everyone else hates
wdym?
If I put a choice specs on it I can easily chef up all the opps on the opp block
Then you would die immediately
Ok ok ok yall are rigjt
Still want more opinions
You can't win with your favourites
You can, we are just addresing the problems
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
·
Starting to second guess my naic team. Zamazenta is becoming a rather annoying problem.
What got
Just wrong
also anyone know a set for banded harc?
what mon is harc?
hisuian arcanie
im guessing max speed then

i dont see anything else
68/252/4/0/4/180

Urshifu just murder
Watch a replay of a Pokémon battle between Its me Lukas and MorrisPXG456! Format: [Gen 9] VGC 2024 Reg G; Date: May 17, 2024
not many ppl here play singles
prolly would have better luck in the smogon server
Just got a Bloodmoon Urasluna with a 0IV in Speed and 0IV in Sp. Attack. 🥲👍
just Hyper train SpA
Already reset it. I want a 0iv in attack and speed
https://pokepast.es/744609c1fd448541
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?
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
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?
except for Dialga,all of them should be booted
no i wanna build a team around one of them so i guess the answer is diagla?
but then again,with Dialga tho
they said 1 of them not all
i do kinda want to build a ceruledge team bcuz its my fav gen 9 pokemon
not gonna just copy this one
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
Yep as a Greninja fan i can confirm.
i do kinda want to diferentiate bcuz doing the same thing as some1 else is very boring
its just not it
sad he fell ):
yea thats up to u, i personally dont mind just taking teams that are proven
also why i always use at least one uu
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
ok well how i usually do this i make a draft and better it with constructive critisicm
Waittt bss are only 3 mons va other 3??
yea
might grab that set for ceru tho
My life is a lie
most serious singles players jus play sd
I though iy was 6v6
Grass/Dragon
Lightning Rod
70/110/75/145/85/145
630
Sceptile
Whats the 6v6 one the name
id just hit the ladder w/ a rough draft and see how it goes. theorycrafting is cool but it only gets u so far initially u have to actually see wat does and doesnt work
especially w/ weird mons like dialga and ceruledge
https://pokepast.es/01fc3cea67a12bd3 is urshifu > great tusk in this case? 6v6 gen 9 ubers
no
It will become soup

tortol


solar beam calyrex wut
yeah i fought one
and somehow won against it with Terapagos Hard Carry it
with Helping Hand BTW
is that supposed to answer urshifu or something
and i fought someone spamming Boxart legendary of the Bikes,Kyurem Black that named as Ohiotown(God damn you Gen Alpha) and Caly Ice
idfk
ok well i will do but here is my draft https://pokepast.es/a0908a1e309b6eaa
similar team, i took inspiration but different
that i won somehow
built diff frfr
i hate lava plume, wow is troll for chi yu imo just go for damage(protect/heat wave/dark pulse and snarl or overheat) also id recommend fake out on rilla, idt knock off is gna give u the value u think it is
nd i get the lava plume synergy w/ ceruledge i just dont like it
ok
i forgot abt fo


damn
yeahh, it is what it is
That’s awesome
have anyone been experimenting with SPA rayquaza?
i saw that one replay and i was like wtf
Meteor Beam Rayquaza?
Thank you Drago, I was really nervous
throwdatahh has given 1 Gen Rep to drayagedrago
Makes sense, it’s your first time
You did well tho so that’s hype
My losses were to me being stupid
also
full team of Box Art legendaries are not scary lol
But can’t complain had a good run
It happens
Yeah I didn’t read team sheets on R3 and just expected whims to be the normal TW/Encore/protect but if I just read the TS I woulda seen it had sunny day lol
lol
R4 I forgot about air Locke cause the rain stays up so I forgot it takes it away
huh
Damn
Yeah air Locke nullifies weather
But the weather stays on the field just not “active”
Disabled ig
also i fought someone who uses 4 Box Art, guess which 4?
Korai Mirai kyogre groudon?
you got 2 right
Which 2
Koraidon and Miraidon
Both horses
one of them
With the dons
Mirai korai CSR and terapagos
Nope i actually murdered them with Terapagos and its not CSR or Terapagos
Mirai korai ice rider zama
not Zama
Imma join the wide league tourney tomorrow I had fun today it’ll be good to get more practice in
Mirai korai ice rider zac
Not Zacian
WHAT GEN
Gen 5
kyurem white
its Kyurem Black.
you know whats worse, it named it Ohiotown
Oh hell nah
i hate Gen Alphas
i havent seen any
theyve all been physical
and their Miraidon keep spammin Draco Meteor on my cresselia and i took down Koraidon with Ease
What format did you play in?
its Casual Battles cuz i want to refresh My Memory on my Terapagos Team
before i do anything on Ranked
but yeah then i fight someone with Helping Hand Solar Beam Calyrex and Terapagos just carry the team because they fumbled
the Brain rot is just
painful
its casual battles man
yeah... the brainrot is painful,at least i can do something before i do anything in Ranked
cuz i haven't played with my Terapagos Team for a bit
Ah
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

the first one is yeah fully Casual but the second one is actually looks like a viable team
with Caly S,Bundle,H-Arcanine,Flutter Mane,Dengo and i forgot the last one god damn it
viable or not its still a casual ladder its inherently less sweaty/skill based

i still havent played terapagos
prolly will jus yoink the stockholm or indy 2nd place team
lol
-8ball play terapagos b4 the month ends?
play terapagos b4 the month ends?
:8ball: Better not tell you now
-8ball wb now
wb now
:8ball: Outlook good

lol
damn it
or have to b staff
blame those before u
it was abused so they made it more difficult to use
damn
Nice
watchu waitin for
It’s not too hard
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
gta have gameplans for that. your play and team should compensate. matches arent 1v1 restricteds
yeah i get you
sometimes u do lose yea but it shouldnt b an autoloss everytime
cant go into a game without a gameplan
i have to play my team Very Safely cuz i need Terapagos to Set up
yea u should swap to specs
ur playing it reactively instead of proactively doing set up
the team is very centered around terapagos setting up
Specs Pagos hits hard
specs gives u instant pressure
so it kinda messes with their team comp, i think
Terapagos-Terastal @ Clear Amulet
Ability: Tera Shift
Level: 50
Tera Type: Stellar
EVs: 252 HP / 108 Def / 132 SpA / 12 SpD / 4 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 15 Atk
- Tera Starstorm
- Calm Mind
- Earth Power
- Protect
Idk why i gibe turtle so much Bulk lol
sometimes u gta throw out wat doesnt work well enough
did they say set up wasnt working?
i mean Pizza's Set up Terapagos is working,its in Master Ball Tier now
is it consistent?
but then again,it has redirection
he only lost like 1 time
ok well idt you should just hop on specs terapagos cuz thats what everyone else is using
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
welp.
Time to rebuild MOST of my Team
just build a new team at that point
https://pokepast.es/d417e06f60ba34a5
Have this in mind
looks good
yea
maybe not tera dark chi yu
I played it
i guess raging bolt is not retiring
It was good
no snarl chi yu?
Changed chi yu up tho
cant leave home without your raging bolt
its sash Chi Yu so yeah...
Raging Bolt:NO I DON'T WANT TO OUT OF RETIRE
alright then
Time to get 2 fresh Start Mochis for my Turtle and Chi Yu
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
I just like to feel familiar with all the match ups
wait i have snarl on my Chi Yu-
u could run snarl but w/ sash and that team comp i think those moves make sense
yea idt its bad just used to seeing snarl
ur not really focusing on damage mitigation
also i have Snarl on bolt so it should be fine
fs
I found someone using Toxapex and it was atleast an interesting experience https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2024reggbo3-2125224278-k7bmio91lwuq7h3qqw0azns0u9xh02vpw

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

tried that for 1 hour
get friends
not a single one dropped
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
i haven't even finish hard mode cuz by the time i want to do it, Boom Indigo disk is out
This could help you out
i can maybe
assuming you got a lot of those
10 per berry just like vitamins
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
i have the least Grinding out of all
i guess i can make another Rental of Terapagos
I love how the school store in BB academy does not even have Dark Pulse TM
why aren't you just crafting it
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
noice
People r really creative with these rentals today arent they
Team rebuilt
yeah idk what to expect now
time to climb the rank
good job
i'm still not sure about rotom though
but maybe i need to choose which MUs i bring it to
wtf
ok bad idea, lost twice in a row

that server is in so much drama right now but im out here enjoying the 3x shiny weekend
finally won against a team damn
Lol
I don’t think in good conscience I can play the game anymore
It was kinda boring after like 15 minutes anyways
big yikes. yeahhhh glad i didn't play. now i have a good reason not to now.
same
also i regret Playing Specs Terapagos now
someone needs to tell drago about that because he was playing it
@molten oasis
what do you want
Ummmmm Scroll up to what tofu said
i was in the call with him
I'm riding some Scarf Grass Tera Snarl Chi-Yu. Absolutely slaps.

Uhhhh what
protect can fail if it's the last pokemon to use it
but like Raging bolt is attacking
Calyrex is the second one to Protect it should work
if those were the only two using protect then that's why it failed
it does not work like that i think
did it use protect the previous turn
ok nvm
he's gamble for a double protec
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2024regg-2125278253

the fuck
did i clutch that

crit mattered
im 1 game away to 1500 for the first time
nice
?
i lost twice in SV but won 5 times in a row on Showdown
Wtf happened to me-
yep
yea it takes a bit to get used to a different team, especially going from set up balance to ho
against 2 Kyogres,Caly Ice, Miraidon and Zacian in Showdown and won all
Against Kyogre and Caly Shadow but won against a Miraidon in SV
i guess its not too bad
giving i am half awake
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
i mean u can save replays and watch later
that can still b helpful
win or loss
thats what i usually do lol
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
yeah true

no doubt
F
that was game-winning btw lmaooooo
damn-
gotta love it
i had that and bleakwind double miss in the same turn
the game was literally over on the spot
I think I figured out Koraidon

wait Koraidon Chi Yu?
no, chi yu koraidon
actually koraidon miraidon
idk it just felt underwhelming wen i tried it and played vs it so was curious lol

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
chi yu making up for the misses w/ that crit and burn in g2 and 3 lol
not like either mattered
Silly fish



i was thinking about koraidon/venusaur recently
I know Hilligant is also common for Coaching shenanigans
might try koraidon/hilligant

Welcome to the VGC 2024 Metagame Discussion thread for Regulation G! This metagame is currently not released however it will be up on May 1st through August 31st. Although this thread used to be for general restricteds discussion, this thread is now dedicated to Regulation G discussion ONLY. The...
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
maybe i can see other zacian things
still, unsure on how i feel about the current thing
did they write off zama and miraidon
pre indi and stockholm probably
I think Gouging is still pretty ok
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
Again, depends
since when does smogon do vgc analysis anyway lol
the ground types i have to deal with are really just bloodmoon rn
Well Smogon's formats aren';t VGC related but there are VGC Smogon players
For instance
Rajan Bal
Lol
Underhill
fair
Cause the fundamentals/method of thinking/analysis are pretty much similar thought patterns
do you think zac gouging, amoonguss, uh, smth like that could work?
why not howl scream tail?
...i forgot about that but zac wants a dragon partner
or ig zac supports dragon partners really well offensively
Could work
Did you read Aaron Traylor's recent team report
I think you should
and it puts perspective into just how much work it can take to make something different work to a high level
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
Dont forget to have fun with it
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"
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
mhmm
Like you obviously have to have good reasonings/justifications to back up the alternative options you wanna explore
thats fair
i kinda
i want to try gouging fire zac but i also kinda want to try drago zac again
hmm

Honestly i wouldnt even Booster Spe Gouging

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
what does 150 speed get me
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
https://pokepast.es/fa3407753a3b602a its a start
Probably an Ogerpon/Pao lead into Tornogre stuff
yea
Could also consider Paonite
ig inner focus would help
will paonite make its return
with incin
i faced a donbozo team yday
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
idt so either
pao amoonguss and shifu are really just slap on rn
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
they didnt even activate idk wat their last was im assuming tatsu
I also like Sash/Mirror Coat or Counter Tatsugiri

if any1 is interested in watching. not an exciting game
that seems intriguing
defense dozo could b solid tbh
Like it also encourages you to think about “dying properly”
e.g. putting yourself into range so you can die without chipping Tatsu
Its interestin
I liked it
I thank Rank 7 JPN
yea i think body press is in an interesting spot rn too so getting that +2 from commander is very nice
Unaware also huge
protect/body press/order up/wave crash?
tru
Cause u dont care abt Intim
U just BPress
I think Order Up/Bpress + Sub can also kinda work
Heavy Slam too
yea
im thinkin like csr or miraidon would be good restricteds for it
wat did u run
Grimmsnarl/Flutter/Bolt/Terapagos w Specs like what the guy ran
i won, very cool
specs terapagos seems good too
just to go into another miraidon
Hydro miss/Draco miss/Triple 3 Turn Sleep/Knock Off crit
lmao wtf
Interestingly
He had Covert Cloak Grimm w FO/Sucker/Spirit Break
I tried that and added Fake Tears for Pagos

its rlly fun
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
Thats smart tho
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
besides the gouging fire dying t1 got another good game

I need help teambuilding All Ik is I will have Flutter Mane and Oranguru on my team I need suggestions
pao zac is kinda nice i wont lie
so is pao zama
im aware

the dogs both like similar partners
Only mistake was not clicking Sucker into the Whimsicott or Double up Bundle but either way rlly well played
what turn?
T5
ah
Tera Stellar + SoR is disgusting though
it hurts
im kinda annoyed they nerfed zacian like they did lol
same
jus unneccesary
i think the ability should have stayed the same
lower the atk or change the ability, both is just rough
in that context yea
But also

cuz i have a theory they always wanna have the new legends take the spotlight
I feel it would have bumped it up too back up
fucking, hate it
so the mechanics and shit is geared toward making that happen
and also cause Ogerpon has the same mechanic
should have doubled into the incin last turn but ugh
u mean in series 10?
it wouldn't have killed
ahh yea it was busted w/ dmax
bblade is just a 100 bp steel move
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
they didnt do anything for it lol
I think without nerfing Intrepid Sword
its the same issue w/ terapagos tbh, w/o tera its gna b really weird to use
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
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
which is caly a
s
ive never seen that
ive seen it here and there
yea jus not a tera type ive encountered on any ive faced is all
not saying some1 isnt runnin it
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
what do you do against caly-s
wellspring pao
yeah incin is hard for zac
ok well incin is hard for every team i build
huh-
i’ve seen ground caly I but not caly S
