[harsh depot]

True

[mighty stump]

Just also saying, 99% of civet coffee is fake

[timber falcon]

oh?

[willow vault]

Interesting

[mighty stump]

• No legislation
• Difficult to purchase since it's difficult to attain from natural, wild civets

[timber falcon]

would these be real?

they look expensive

[mighty stump]

And obviously the farmed/industrialised shit wouldnt be

i like singles but idk how to synergise teams

i think its easier to build a vgc team than singles ngl

[willow vault]

It’s a different skill set

[autumn vault]

What is the best Zekrom team of the 5? My bet will go to the 2nd one

[mighty stump]

Wheres the one without it

[timber falcon]

of im being completely and brutally honest

[autumn vault]

I have a ridiculous amount of reg G teams

[timber falcon]

i think the zekrom team right there is the best

[autumn vault]

The top?

[mighty stump]

CIR mirror on stream

[timber falcon]

no no the other one

[autumn vault]

The bottom one?

[timber falcon]

[autumn vault]

[timber falcon]

or u guys have some hidden conflicts

[autumn vault]

1. I don't want to reveal my voice
2. I don't want to hear other people's voices
3. Why not just type it to the chat instead of talking?

[mighty stump]

Someone check a calc for me

Acrually

Nevermind

I don’t trust any of you

[timber falcon]

lmao

[timber falcon]

okidoki

[mighty stump]

No way

[timber falcon]

shows an abysmal calc:

[mighty stump]

+1 252+ Atk Calyrex-Ice Rider High Horsepower vs. 236 HP / 220+ Def Incineroar: 170-200 (85 - 100%) -- 6.3% chance to OHKO

[autumn vault]

Damn

[mighty stump]

Unless it was a bad low roll

[autumn vault]

Ofc you vote Zamazenta

[bold geode]

[autumn vault]

Anyways here is the poll, go wild with it

[south shuttle]

i voted a very funny mon

[autumn vault]

I know

Groudon

[bold geode]

Didn't we say not to engage?
I mean sure they changed but like

[sharp cobalt]

[bold geode]

Lol

[bold geode]

Also to fill you in, we tried to give them advice fuck idk how many times but they basically just refused it all when it meant no E Force Calyrex Shadow Rider, which we also told them multiple times is God awful

[autumn vault]

He finally listened though

[bold geode]

After days on end of not
Imma let y'all go with that

[autumn vault]

It isn't god awful but not one of the most viable ways to play it

[sharp cobalt]

Me next

[bold geode]

What you need

[sharp cobalt]

What works best with TR Indeedee-F currentlly?

[rustic mountain]

ive had pretty good success w/ e force csr

[bold geode]

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[rustic mountain]

2 accounts in top 500

u just need to have tera blast as ur single coverage

[bold geode]

It's just harder imo than like Psyshock or DKiss
Gotta run a 3rd move or hope you don't get Wide Guarded unless no terrain

[rustic mountain]

otherwise u just get walled out in some spots

yea ofc

[sharp cobalt]

[bold geode]

So restricted wise
Necrozma Dawn Wings is there
Lunala TECHNICALLY could do it?
Armarouge too
That's if you're looking at Psyspam
If not, hell basically almost any Trick Room Pokemon

[rustic mountain]

its just finishing off the wide guard users before csr hits the field. u generally wanna b clicking astral barrage most times anyway so having something deter that is no bueno

[sharp cobalt]

I wanna run as many shinies as possible, and I do have a shiny Lunala... what are good current TR abusers?

[rustic mountain]

i also click e force sometimes outside terrain it still does great damage lol

[dapper crag]

Where do u sign up for vgc

[next stump]

what event? in person stuff?

[sharp cobalt]

I confused the yellow and orange for a sec

[dapper crag]

Idk what even is vgc can some explain it

[next stump]

VGC = Video Game Championships, the official competitive format for pokemon. Its double battles, so pick 4 out of 6 of your pokemon and they face off 2v2

[bold geode]

Blood Moon Ursaluna (which is usually with Farigiraf, but Indeedee could probably work), regular Ursaluna, Lunala, Necrozma Dawn Wings, Armarouge, Torkoal
Why am I blanking out now

[sharp cobalt]

I can still get myself uhm, a 0 spe BM Ursaluna

[bold geode]

@next stump any I didn't mention? Besides Calyrex Ice Rider, which is shiny locked

[next stump]

that’s a good list

[sharp cobalt]

Was planning on doing that as soon as I got a new moon ball

So pref would be Lunala or Necrozma DW as the restricted, and either Ursaluna probs..

[bold geode]

Yeah
Regular Ursaluna kinda looks nice honestly

[sharp cobalt]

Shame BM Ursaluna is locked for now

[bold geode]

Yeah

[autumn vault]

Best Monke poll ever

[sharp cobalt]

Lemme desiggn smth

[bold geode]

Ah
So 5 Yes's cuz the third option was also yes

[autumn vault]

Go wild with this poll

[south shuttle]

can you help me explain that incin is good #sv_discussion

[sharp cobalt]

Whats... Indeedee-F's tera?

[autumn vault]

Sure why not

[bold geode]

Fairy usually

Cuz Urshifu Dark threatens it like a mfer

[sharp cobalt]

Ah had an inkling

And Lunala, i cant find any sets on pikalytics (to get a simple idea), I believe is full SpA, Power Herb Meteor Beam?

[bold geode]

Is Tofu's post hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Lunala @ Power Herb
Ability: Shadow Shield
Tera Type: Fairy
EVs: 116 HP / 188 Def / 180 SpA / 20 SpD / 4 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk

• Moongeist Beam
• Meteor Beam
• Trick Room
• Wide Guard

Lemme grab calcs

[harsh depot]

Made it to Rank 8 Great Ball, hoping to get to Ultra Ball.

[bold geode]

252+ SpA Beads of Ruin Chi-Yu Dark Pulse vs. 116 HP / 20 SpD Shadow Shield Lunala: 192-228 (84.5 - 100.4%) -- 6.3% chance to OHKO
236+ Atk Urshifu-Single Strike Wicked Blow vs. 116 HP / 192 Def Shadow Shield Lunala on a critical hit: 192-228 (84.5 - 100.4%) -- 6.3% chance to OHKO
SpA bump
+1 180+ SpA Lunala Meteor Beam vs. 236 HP / 156+ SpD Incineroar: 188-222 (94 - 111%) -- 62.5% chance to OHKO
Here's what spread does

[bold geode]

You can do it now

[harsh depot]

Appreciate you believing in me

[sharp cobalt]

Is TR necessary on it if I run it on Indeedee-F?

[charred saddle]

helps u to set it up with indeedee follow me

follow me to TR

[bold geode]

Trick Room is usually used on it, however if you're looking to go Hard TR, then you want at least 2 setters

[sharp cobalt]

True...

What's the 4 Spe EVs for?

[bold geode]

Actually I mentioned Psyspam (Expanding Force)
But honestly, I don't recommend it as much rn due to like
The fuckton of Dark types/teras

Ummm

[sharp cobalt]

[bold geode]

Lemme see

@next stump sorry for ping, what does 118 speed do again?

[autumn vault]

@south shuttle i finished explaining the resistant noob on why incineroar is super good (sorry for ping)

[sharp cobalt]

You dont want min speed on TR?

[bold geode]

Hard Trick Room can use min speed, but also like
Sometimes it's not as needed

I feel like it MIGHT be up to preference? Try out both if you can, see what you like better

[sharp cobalt]

The speed IV for Lunala is set anyway, dunno what it has...

[bold geode]

This is a moment where Showdown is based AF lol

[sharp cobalt]

Whats good for BM Ursa? Just max hp max spa?

[sharp cobalt]

Im on showdown

Just slowly building there

[bold geode]

118 is for something important, I just don't know what

[bold geode]

If going min speed, yeah

Although keep in mind once again, you use one Ursa, can't use other

[sharp cobalt]

Yeah... uhm... Ive got 3 now. Lunala, Indeedee-F, BM Ursa... I think I need a strong phys attacker to deal with Terapagos?

[bold geode]

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[sharp cobalt]

[bold geode]

I wonder what to

Fuck idk TR mons that hurt Terapagos that much
A downside of maining Zamazenta for a while

[sharp cobalt]

Maybe I skip Lunala and go for the ice rider Calyrex?

[autumn vault]

Shiny Locked

[sharp cobalt]

Im fine with that, if its to get a better performance in general

[bold geode]

Nah cuz idk how CIR deals with hmm
Actually if you're wanting a strong physical attacker, I'd probably go regular Ursaluna unless you go Ice Rider

[sharp cobalt]

Yeah both are fine with me

[bold geode]

Once Tera Shell is broken or it teras, those Guts boosted Facades probably gonna HURT it

[sharp cobalt]

So which one would be better? Im fine either way

[bold geode]

Calyrex honestly lol

[autumn vault]

Both are good enough

calyrex ice is better however

[bold geode]

But Lunala's definitely good, so it's really up to preference
Calyrex Ice Rider just of course has more results in events

[sharp cobalt]

I'll make a team for both

[polar canyon]

Next time shadow wins a big thing it's gonna be the best again

Just watch

Then ice is gonna win something and be called the best again

[autumn vault]

I would still prepare for it

[polar canyon]

It's funny that calyrex is competing with itself for best pokemon

[autumn vault]

Also i was comparing CIR to ursaluna, CIR > CSR is true

[polar canyon]

Oh cool

I'd say if you can use both, use both

[sharp cobalt]

So now I have 2 halves, one Lunala, one CIR. What would the other 3 be?

[polar canyon]

So you'll have 5 halves?

[sharp cobalt]

[mighty stump]

Im pretty sure I told you

Guess

[bold geode]

It's not Jolly Incin is it?

[autumn vault]

More votes pls

[sharp cobalt]

I vote

[autumn vault]

Despite slapping my face with a dondozo, you clearly respect me

[mighty stump]

Its for Modest Pelipper

118 is the Jolly Incin Spe

[bold geode]

Ah

[sharp cobalt]

Be happy the Dondozo wasn't shiny

[rustic mountain]

y

[graceful flare]

Would u be able to outspeed with tailwind with torkoal

[sharp cobalt]

Have you seen the colour

[little plank]

Yeah I'm like the Don of dozos strat

Pushed 1600 on showdown after changing

[sharp cobalt]

Kind Monke, are you still able and willing to help with team setup?

[autumn vault]

Poll again, last time i am showing this

[little plank]

Alright I've won like 12 in a row now I gotta take a break because I'm gonna go on a losing streak soon lol

[sharp cobalt]

Mood

[tawdry urchin]

Anyone know a pokemon I can replace incin with to counter miraidon? It pared with tail wind whimsacott pretty much wins the the game

[sharp cobalt]

[tawdry urchin]

[south shuttle]

Did he understand?

[sharp cobalt]

Look a few messages up

[south shuttle]

Oh

[sharp cobalt]

[south shuttle]

First, don’t replace incineroar, Second, any ground steel type walls both of miraidon’s stabs

[sharp cobalt]

Iron Treads/Excadrill?

[foggy lodge]

Nothing counters Miraidon

You have to take the damage or be a ground type lol

[south shuttle]

Probably Iron treads, since it benefits from Miraidons Terrain

[sharp cobalt]

And it learns the highly exclusive STEEL ROLLER

[south shuttle]

Gen 10 adding ground fairy 💀💀

[sharp cobalt]

Naaah. PLZA.

[south shuttle]

Idk if steel roller even gets run

[south shuttle]

Ancient Xerneas????

[foggy lodge]

Rillaboom is super good for it tho, just be careful to set the grassy terrain over the electric terrain, with AV it tanks a lot better everything from Miraidon

[sharp cobalt]

Tera fairy Pachirisu follow me

[south shuttle]

What about Draco meteor

[sharp cobalt]

Set up misty

[foggy lodge]

You take the damage

[tawdry urchin]

yeah but I don't understand how it's good for my team

[foggy lodge]

For everything

[solid frigate]

hoi

[craggy dagger]

oh hai

[solid frigate]

how is it goin

[little plank]

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2024regg-2125775455 what could I have done different here? Wasn't expecting the urshifu to not have scarf so that really threw off my plan was hoping for a surging or close combat first into clefairy.

[strange fjord]

what moves did you have on clefairy?

[little plank]

Helping hand protect follow me moonblast

[solid frigate]

hmmmmm

[little plank]

Yeah I can't really think of a win con lol

[sharp cobalt]

Your winning personality

[strange fjord]

i was thinking you should've healed terapagos with t1 there but seems like you didn't have any healing moves

ill have to look back at the replay to see what could've been better

[little plank]

Even if I did heal t1 though urshifu still would have got the 1hko with the close combat

I guess I could have swapped to rillaboom but wasn't expecting the urshifu to not have scarf

[strange fjord]

maybe. depends if you could get back to full hp with double life dew or a single heal pulse

[little plank]

Yeah guess I'll drop moonblast for heal pulse and try that out

[craggy dagger]

hm-?

[solid frigate]

?

[chrome knot]

ended 5th @ stacked mss, happy with my play; was seeded third after swiss which was cool

[lofty tartan]

It was swap to Rillaboom, probably. Gets rid of terrain and eats the hit - you were being outsped by both Urshifu and Miraidon so there was no room to heal with Clefairy and either a CC or a Drift kos Terapagos - Follow Me doesn't protect Terapagos here because Clefairy can't eat the Miraidon hit.

Turn 1 Follow Me vs two mons that commonly run spread moves didn't help you either. Snarl didn't reduce your attack but it chipped Tera Shell and that was good enough.

[solid frigate]

fuck it,finally

[dry dew]

whats a good moveset for serperior? its contrary with leaf storm, giga drain, leech seed, and dragon pulse. anything else I shopuld swap out?

[solid frigate]

Can i made you a serperior Set?

[dry dew]

you dont have to I just got a shiny one and wanted to give it a competitive set for raids

[solid frigate]

Serperior @ Life Orb
Ability: Contrary
Level: 50
Tera Type: Stellar
EVs: 180 HP / 76 SpA / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk

• Leaf Storm
• Glare
• Tera Blast
• Dragon Pulse

well the moves are fine

[dry dew]

forgot about glare and life orb ive just had a miracle seed on it ty

[solid frigate]

its ok np

usually thats what BSS or VGC(Not that much) uses

[dry dew]

what does a stellar tera blast turn into?

[solid frigate]

it gives it Stellar Tera to make it super effective against Terastalised Enemy

and in Raids,Stellar Tera does not have 1 time use rule

[dry dew]

cool ty

[strange fjord]

damn 211 battles? bro grinding the ladder

[solid frigate]

[craggy dagger]

stellar tera blast

[solid frigate]

[solid frigate]

X cannot be greater than 6 and does not reset upon switching out or fainting. Each hit of a multi-hit attack is counted, but confusion damage is not counted.

[feral wraith]

Hi everybody

[harsh depot]

You know what? You’re right. Don’t let fear hold me back. Made it this far

[craggy dagger]

yesss-
though if you start to get angry make sure to take breaks and reflect on how you could have played better-
rather than beating yourself up and playing again

[harsh depot]

That’s true. I’m slowly learning that’s the better approach

Do you just have a ton of resources?

[solid frigate]

i finally got another Kubfu so yeah thats the only thing i miss

[craggy dagger]

jeez-
talk about being hardcore

[solid frigate]

Its Dawn Wings lol,And since OTOT made a Lunala one so why not

[craggy dagger]

ooooo

[solid frigate]

and it would be,Very Magolor style

[harsh depot]

I can’t sleep. Idk if I should ladder climb though

[solid frigate]

not recommend that but your choice

[solid frigate]

I'll be busy of a bit

[harsh depot]

You’re probably right. Not this late at night

[solid frigate]

is this background good?

[harsh depot]

Hey Torrent, did you see I made it to Rank 8? It’s the highest rank I’ve ever achieved trying competitive

[solid frigate]

Nice!

Yeah 🙂

Preview of my 3rd Rental

[harsh depot]

Is that the team I beat minus different Tera Type on Dawn Wing?

[solid frigate]

Yeah and also different EVs on Chi Yu

[harsh depot]

I see. Cool!

I still don’t entirely know how I won, minus calling the Follow Me. Still oddly proud of myself though lol

[solid frigate]

mhm

[harsh depot]

Sorry, should probably stop bringing it up. I feel like a broken record

[solid frigate]

nah its ok

i did not prepare well

[harsh depot]

Yeah, but what else did I do well, besides call the Follow Me? As far as you can remember that is

[solid frigate]

i don't think so... i forgot...

[harsh depot]

All good lol

Just trying to know what I did well, that’s all

[solid frigate]

you did well

[harsh depot]

I guess I’m focusing too much on wanting to know specifics. Fair enough lol

[forest arrow]

4-1 in wide league rn for my second tourney, im actually sweating lol

[molten oasis]

looking forwards to the new rental

[solid frigate]

https://tenor.com/view/magolor-kirby-magolor-kirby-gif-22271141

[harsh depot]

I’ve never been to a tournament. Don’t think I’m ready for one either

[forest arrow]

It’s a lot of fun, I figured I waited to long

Definitely makes me a nervous wreck tho lol

[harsh depot]

I believe it lol

[craggy dagger]

you should start with locals
being in a small community and branching out from there is usually the best idea-
though i never competed-
i regret-
going to view a regionals without actually getting to know anyone well…
it felt…
kinda empty

[molten oasis]

...

cough me going to NAIC with my one friend

[harsh depot]

That’s fair. I wonder how I’d go about that tbh

[forest arrow]

I don’t have locals so online is my only option to get my feet wet

[harsh depot]

I don’t either, unless I drive a good distance

[craggy dagger]

i just sat there by myself at regionals with no one to talk to cause the few people i know were competing

[forest arrow]

yeah I’d have to drive like 5 hours and I just can’t do that

[molten oasis]

same

[solid frigate]

Me In UK:

lemme keep doing Rentals

[forest arrow]

if I ever go to a regional I have people I think, at least I hope

[molten oasis]

i know people

[craggy dagger]

ofc you do-
prolly will meet a lot of ppl from this server tbh

[forest arrow]

drago

[molten oasis]

not a ton, but i know people

[forest arrow]

We know people lol

wink wink

[molten oasis]

lol

[craggy dagger]

not many people i know came to-
vancouver regionals-
the person i knew being ruby/progatog

and that was it iirc-

[solid frigate]

Oh yeah for people who looked at my rentals would know i am using Gen 9 Sprites

[forest arrow]

Yeah that’s unfortunate, at least you got to see Ruby yeah?

[harsh depot]

Closest city I live near is San Antonio, TX. Idk where I’d find a local tournament at there

[forest arrow]

Same here

[craggy dagger]

mhm!
though she was busy competing at least she won the MSS there

[forest arrow]

sadge

That’s awesome!

[solid frigate]

Idk if Manchester has Local Tournament

[harsh depot]

No idea either

[solid frigate]

i wanna use my Dawn Wings on a Local

[harsh depot]

I just wanna go to a local in general

How would I find a local tournament?

[solid frigate]

idk about that

[forest arrow]

I think Dillon would have that info for you I totally forgot how all that works

I think you sign up with the Pokémon company

And you can find locals through that

it has like a tournament finder iirc

[solid frigate]

Progress : )

[harsh depot]

I see. You think Tofu would know too?

[forest arrow]

He should, though he cant compete I don’t wanna tell you wrong that he does know

[craggy dagger]

oooo

[ancient crow]

what being able to take hits for days, dealing insane damage while also having amazing speed does to a MF

[forest arrow]

More than likely knows tho

[harsh depot]

Makes sense

[molten oasis]

dawn wings sits at 77

not amazing speed

[ancient crow]

they should give zamazenta recover on gen 10

[molten oasis]

hell no

[solid frigate]

i wanna try it,its decently good

[molten oasis]

eh yk what

[ancient crow]

I mean, they might as well

[solid frigate]

i mean Dawn Wings as a whole

[molten oasis]

its decent

[forest arrow]

Okay R6 brb guys

[molten oasis]

good luck

its not bad, i think it has a place in the format for sure

[cyan smelt]

Dawn wings walls zama

[solid frigate]

and also Moongeist Beam is So Strong-

it almost OHKO a Dialga with Chi Yu Crit

[ancient crow]

srry I`m just salty

[molten oasis]

i also think lunala is better

because of its ability

[ancient crow]

this kyogre had covert cloak and tera grass

completely ruined my night

[solid frigate]

Overlord used Moongeist Beam!
A critical hit!
(The opposing Dialga lost 96% of its health!)

This is just absurd-

[harsh depot]

What happened? I feel like I’m missing context

In terms of Zamazenta salt?

[bold geode]

Hey man
Hope we can make it

Zamazenta salt?

[molten oasis]

i lost to a groudon today, but not the groudon itself the incin and flutter

[ancient crow]

I'm just salty, everyone just had tools to counter my tools for their restricted the entire night

usually being defensive teras

[bold geode]

I'm just playing NBA 2k rn, why we talking shit about Zama

[molten oasis]

and i lost to a ho-oh

[solid frigate]

252+ SpA Necrozma-Dawn-Wings Moongeist Beam vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Calyrex-Ice: 174-206 (84 - 99.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

Pfft

[molten oasis]

that sucked

oh btw

[ancient crow]

they will most likely use a defensive tera tho

: c

[solid frigate]

then again,it still a strong move

[molten oasis]

torrent are you just spitting out rentals just cuz?

[bold geode]

I need to do team report
Probably tomorrow night

[solid frigate]

i don't have a fucking Tournament to do cuz i am in UK so i just spit some work so i don't become bored

[harsh depot]

Rather than be salty about defensive Tera types, maybe reflect on what happened and learn from it? I know I’m a little bit of a hypocrite, but I’m trying to learn

[molten oasis]

fair

[solid frigate]

252+ SpA Necrozma-Dawn-Wings Moongeist Beam vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Tera Fire Calyrex-Ice: 87-103 (42 - 49.7%) -- guaranteed 3HKO

Still not bad

[rustic mountain]

yea they r just gna b heavily outfavored. doesnt mean they cant win

[cyan smelt]

What about +1 meteor beam

[solid frigate]

it kills

[ancient crow]

I mean, with open sheets they are fine, it's just that we don't have it on ladder

[solid frigate]

+1 252+ SpA Necrozma-Dawn-Wings Meteor Beam vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Tera Fire Calyrex-Ice: 206-244 (99.5 - 117.8%) -- 93.8% chance to OHKO

[ancient crow]

so it feels like I got robbed

[harsh depot]

I personally can do without team sheets

Teaches me strats in action

[solid frigate]

it for the homies who want to play Dawn Wings

[rustic mountain]

cts is fine tho i think for bo3 and w/ tera ots is a godsend

[molten oasis]

wha?

[harsh depot]

Tree, are you okay?

[rustic mountain]

?

[ancient crow]

I mean, I know I can play defensively to avoid getting robbed on those situations, but it can put me behind on the match sometimes

[molten oasis]

im just, im confused

[harsh depot]

I’m also confused

[molten oasis]

elaborate on this

pls

[rustic mountain]

what is confusing

[harsh depot]

If you keep focusing on how you were “robbed” you’re not gonna improve for next time

[rustic mountain]

feel like its pretty self explanatory

[molten oasis]

its not, please elaborate cuz i generally dont understand

[rustic mountain]

im fine w/ cts but for bo3 specifically w/ tera i get why ots is a thing

[harsh depot]

I don’t get it either tree, sorry

[molten oasis]

oh

[harsh depot]

Oooooooh

[rustic mountain]

idk how thats confusing

[molten oasis]

i thought you we're talking about some kind of mon

[forest arrow]

Tera starstorm is annoying asf

[harsh depot]

Wait, I get it now. Open and closed team sheets. I’m dumb lol

[rustic mountain]

haha yea

just abbreviations

[forest arrow]

I got outplayed that’s the game.

[harsh depot]

I see. I’m tired, don’t mind me

[harsh depot]

Rip

[forest arrow]

Yeah 4-2

[molten oasis]

are you out or are you still in?

[forest arrow]

Still in

[molten oasis]

nice

[forest arrow]

X-2

[harsh depot]

That’s good at least

[rustic mountain]

is it bo1 swiss?

[forest arrow]

Yeah

[rustic mountain]

yea cuz im like 11 min for a set? wtf haha

[forest arrow]

Just got spammed Tera starstormed on a bad call. I read them reading wide guard

[molten oasis]

its a partial reason i dont play a lot of bo3 ladder

[rustic mountain]

happens unfortunately

[forest arrow]

but was wrong

[molten oasis]

it just takes forever

[forest arrow]

yeah unfortunate, im still in so imma keep trying ❤️

[rustic mountain]

i mean its good to have a ladder. i think it depends wat stage ur at in teambuilding and wat ur going for

[harsh depot]

You can do it!

[solid frigate]

wait just asking the thing, Does Right Henchwoman of Dawn Wings Works for Indeedee?

[forest arrow]

If I win next match im top cut I think

[rustic mountain]

yea jus take a breather think wat u couldve done different to not have it come down to 1 call and the other game(s) then just move on

[molten oasis]

well im in the "im pursuing a team for NAIC" time since i got somethig to top 500 in bo1

being pao pult zac, somehow

[forest arrow]

Most definitely!

Absolutely rolled me tho lol

[harsh depot]

I don’t wanna sleep, but I’m feeling really tired. Good thing I didn’t do any ladder climbing

[molten oasis]

going for 1400-1500 in bo3 to see how it fares

[solid frigate]

good Luck

[harsh depot]

Good luck!

[rustic mountain]

wats top 500 on bo3 rn

[molten oasis]

slowly, cuz i cant really play more than 4 or 5 bo3's without just, dying inside

1500

[rustic mountain]

[forest arrow]

Gl brother

[molten oasis]

right now, rapid shifu is kinda shit mu wise

[rustic mountain]

idk if thats a good sign, its gna b like 8 or 9 rounds for day 1 naic

[molten oasis]

mostly in rain

[molten oasis]

its the first time ive grinded bo3 ladder

not used to playing so many, just pushing it to gain endurance

[rustic mountain]

fair

[forest arrow]

Dropping Urshifu Rapid for Ghold was the best decision I could’ve made

Well actually that terap mu kind of rolled me

[molten oasis]

also teaching myself to control my thoughts and recover from losses

cuz that is a major weakness

[rustic mountain]

thats good

[forest arrow]

Dengo still rules all

https://tenor.com/view/pokemon-pokemon-scarlet-and-violet-dance-quotes-pokemon-dance-goldengho-gif-27490580

https://tenor.com/view/my-beloved-heart-locket-pokemon-pokemon-scarlet-and-violet-gholdengo-gif-27416880

[forest arrow]

Clear body avoids Incins annoying ass

[molten oasis]

feels solid, with incin and peli, although good im just finding it irritating to take games against rain shifu

surging strikes just kinda wipes everything, notably next to peli

[forest arrow]

Peli Pult, and hurricane that mug

[harsh depot]

I have to sleep. I don’t wanna, I wanna keep talking to you all, but slowly drifting to sleep. Night night all

[molten oasis]

tera water surging just removes pult

[rustic mountain]

later

[molten oasis]

gn

[solid frigate]

also is it just me,or is it that when People pilot My Team they always have better results than when i pilot my own teams lol

[forest arrow]

Really? Damn that’s crazy

[rustic mountain]

idk is it?

[solid frigate]

eh maybe i am just tired during it

[forest arrow]

Gn Lilly!

[forest arrow]

I know specs Pagos is good

[solid frigate]

Oh fuck i forgot

[forest arrow]

That’s wild

[molten oasis]

pult has

weirdly nice natural bulk

[rustic mountain]

for not getting ohkoed by a resist?

[molten oasis]

...

i;d expect that to kill on a mon with base 88 hp and 78 def

so yes

[forest arrow]

Alright r7 if I win I’m top cut I think

i don’t play much on cart…
i like experimenting and making teams compared to playing and pushing them up

252 SpA Choice Specs Beads of Ruin Chi-Yu Heat Wave vs. 240 HP / 0 SpD Groudon in Sun: 205-243 (100 - 118.5%) -- guaranteed OHKO

you’ve beat me

i swear thats just Absurd

[rustic mountain]

where have u been

[molten oasis]

well, i have to spend time playing peli more

ive just been bringing it to every game to figure out when it is and isnt good

[solid frigate]

?

[rustic mountain]

chi yus been around doing absurd damage

[molten oasis]

we've known how dumb chi yu calcs are since reg c

[solid frigate]

but murdering Koraidon tho

[rustic mountain]

its a literal meme at this point in the vgc community

[solid frigate]

also i did took a break in Reg C to Shiny Hunt

[molten oasis]

what with overheat in the sun? that makes sense lmao

thing nukes like everything with overheat

[solid frigate]

but i forgot that meme

[craggy dagger]

oh-
that’s an interesting way to learn

[rustic mountain]

beads of ruin and specs and sun w a strong stab move, its a lot of multipliers

[molten oasis]

like miraidon

[solid frigate]

so its basically Miraidon Buffs but with Fire type

[rustic mountain]

yea

[solid frigate]

so basically i have a Mini Miraidon on my team

[harsh depot]

I was trying to sleep, but couldn’t. Now idk if I should be proud or upset XD

[solid frigate]

that can miss attacks

[molten oasis]

close discord

[craggy dagger]

uh-
try leaving devices outside your sleep room…
that should help…
a little bit

[harsh depot]

No.

[rustic mountain]

that and it doesnt set sun for itself like miraidon does terrain

but also isnt a restricted slot

[harsh depot]

In all seriousness, irl friend needed to talk, and reached out via discord

[molten oasis]

ah, fair

[solid frigate]

i have basically 3 Restricted on the team lol

Dawn Wings,Chi Yu and Blood Moon Ursaluna with Tera Normal Active

[rustic mountain]

well bm ursa is legend adjacent and chi yu is a legend so not hard to picture why itd feel like that haha

[forest arrow]

Welp

Don't need to worry about Lugia anymore

[rustic mountain]

u did b4?

[craggy dagger]

with multiscale?

[solid frigate]

Yeah but idk if People run Max Bulk Lugia

[craggy dagger]

oh wait no moongeist ignores vilifies

[solid frigate]

Moongeist Beam ignores it

[craggy dagger]

what about behind screens

[rustic mountain]

im saying like

lugia isnt a common mu y would it be a point of emphasis

[solid frigate]

+1 252+ SpA Beads of Ruin Necrozma-Dawn-Wings Moongeist Beam vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Lugia through Light Screen: 153-181 (71.8 - 84.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

[craggy dagger]

ouch that still does a lot

[craggy dagger]

aegis is just prepping to fight me

[solid frigate]

The Offensive Output of Dawn Wings is kinda underrated cuz i don't see that much Dawn Wings

[forest arrow]

Came out 4-3, I think I’m out

[craggy dagger]

it’s just it’s hp stat kinda vanishes

[molten oasis]

wide league is usually x-2

bummer, good run it seems

[solid frigate]

Dawn Wings when Chi Yu is here:Haha Moongeist beam go brrrr

[forest arrow]

I usually protect against spread moves users expecting the double into peli but they just read that all night dude

Should’ve just wide guarded the whole time:.

https://tenor.com/view/facepalm-really-stressed-mad-angry-gif-16109475

[molten oasis]

respect the mons not the player

Nah its just magolor Soul reminded Me of Dawn Wings Necrozma-

[molten oasis]

ohk

[solid frigate]

also Magolor is Peak Kirby Character

[forest arrow]

I’m gonna be kicking myself in the ass for that

[solid frigate]

F

[forest arrow]

I’m sorry peli I failed you

[molten oasis]

its ok

i'd just be more open to clicking wide guard

infront of spread attackers

[forest arrow]

Yeah next time I’ll definitely respect the mon and not the player

Or actually respect both

Bc that feels wrong

[solid frigate]

usually i respect both

[forest arrow]

Yeah

Oh well next weekend I got this❤️

enough VGC for me today gn yall

[solid frigate]

gn

I'll rest after i done the rental

[craggy dagger]

gn!

[craggy dagger]

i should

[solid frigate]

2 more mons to type down on the Notes

[solid frigate]

i should take a rest but i am almost done with it ;-;

[timber falcon]

What rental u making

[solid frigate]

dawn Wings

3rd rental now

[timber falcon]

Oh yeah that’s a given

[solid frigate]

mhm

[timber falcon]

U got the material for dawn wings so fast

[solid frigate]

Ogerpon is Prebuilt in Reg F, Chi Yu as well when i made Terapagos Team,Urshifu Dark just got sent by my friend, Dawn Wings Already Prebuilt,Blood Moon Prebuilt but never Finished until now and Indeedee is also Prebuilt

[timber falcon]

Oh wait yeah I can save the sets on the mons for the team

Idk why I wipe em clean lol

[solid frigate]

yeah thats why i done it fast is just the Urshifu took the longest cuz i need to wait for my friend for one

[tawdry urchin]

Kinda but after playing some matches it's really just there for show...

[molten oasis]

pao amoonguss is something i wasn't expecting to be good into miraidon

ice spinners into spore is a good tech

[cyan smelt]

neat

[timber falcon]

I find it to be a tricky lead

There’s a lot to consider when playing against it

[molten oasis]

well yea ofc

thats just waht im finding is consistent rn

Lv. 100 4 Atk Sword of Ruin Incineroar Helping Hand Knock Off vs. -6 Lv. 1 0 HP / 0- Def 0 IV Pichu: 27739-32635 (252172.7 - 296681.8%) -- guaranteed OHKO i got bored

wonder how santiago is going

[timber falcon]

Lugia @ Leftovers
Ability: Multiscale

Tera Type: Fairy
EVs: 252 HP / 180 Def / 76 SpA
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk

• Aeroblast
• Earth Power
• Recover
• Calm Mind

found this set on munchstats, i think its very good

what do u guys think?

[pearl wind]

if you run recover you could also go clear amulet / covert cloak maybe?

but when i used lugia for a few games i liked recover > protect

[timber falcon]

true i think id actually like cloak, cause it also helps with snarl and icywind

also i did some calcs and its defence is calced to live 2 ice spinners from jolly pao, before and affter

so from 100% it would take 3 hits

do you need that much tho? what about some speed to outspeed the 135s at -1? or some speed in general

because lugia is pretty fast with 110 already, doesnt need that much investment for the 135s at -1 (52EVs)

[timber falcon]

but for what reason would i really need to outspeed a 135 at -1

[pearl wind]

for what reason does your lugia sit at 130 speed and get outsped by most stuff?

or do you rely on tailwind in that scenario then

[timber falcon]

cause it has the bulk to account for it

[timber falcon]

i normally just sit behind screens lel

[pearl wind]

oki

[timber falcon]

but i think i will make it faster than pao at -1

just cause it helps

showdown saved me 24 evs with bold nature

[pearl wind]

i mean the -1 is only important if you have speed control for that like icy wind or electro web, if you have twave or tailwind for speed control then its completely irrelevant

[timber falcon]

i think b4 i make more changes ill get the team then

i still have 4 mons to get

[pearl wind]

yeye because doing calcs for -1 without actually getting the opponent to -1 is

[plain trench]

So I just got back into competitive and I just spent a couple hours building my team and it says one of my pokemon is not legal how do I figure out which pokemon it is?

[mighty stump]

Well if you show us your team we could probably tell you

[plain trench]

One second

It’s not letting me post pictures in here

[mighty stump]

[timber falcon]

calced to 2HKO 252hp caly ice

and 2.3% chance to get 2HKOd by caly-ice high horse power

2HKO incin with tera ground

[mighty stump]

🤔

[timber falcon]

outspeed jolly incin, and rest into spdef that i havent thought abt yet

am i overthinking things or is it fine, also goggles for moongus ofc, cant have redirection

[mighty stump]

Id just dump your leftovers into attack until you hit a 2nd bump then lol

[timber falcon]

aight

[mighty stump]

I don’t like the idea of Tera Ground

• theres no Extreme Speed on this

[charred saddle]

no espeed is weird yeah

[timber falcon]

espeed i didnt find needed for its use

[charred saddle]

id rather drop snarl for e speed

why not? its prio and picking up KOs when it matters

[timber falcon]

cause i dont hit hard

[charred saddle]

[timber falcon]

nvm i have those spare evs

[mighty stump]

Mmm

[charred saddle]

does turbo incin with jolly and max speed is a thing?

ik turboincin is around, but max and jolly?

[timber falcon]

pretty sure drago was using it yesterday

outsped lunala with 118

so id assume so

252 SpA Life Orb Calyrex-Shadow Helping Hand Astral Barrage vs. 252 HP / 136 SpD Tera Ground Entei: 191-226 (86 - 101.8%) -- 12.5% chance to OHKO

im wondering abt this calc

[timber falcon]

oh wait with tera normal extreme speed i dont have to worry abt astral barrage do i?

[autumn vault]

With the pokemon no

[timber falcon]

but then again i lose snarl leverage

[autumn vault]

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2024regg-2126001823 This was very close

[timber falcon]

man idk which one to use

[autumn vault]

https://pokepast.es/4f85c8483aedca25 As you can tell i have been cooking up something

Wha-

[timber falcon]

after grimsnarl died rapid strike shouldve been sent out immediately

[autumn vault]

I have just built the team

[timber falcon]

even so

there was an incin and tera fire clay-ice

[autumn vault]

Ah yes, clay ice

[timber falcon]

why not the water type that breaks through protect

[autumn vault]

Idk

[timber falcon]

just in the moment ig

[autumn vault]

How was i supposed to know the tera?

It could have been grass

[timber falcon]

i meant after grim died

[autumn vault]

Ah ok

[timber falcon]

tera fire was already revealed so rapid couldve cleaned up

[autumn vault]

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2024regg-2126003485 What just happened?

[timber falcon]

they were in it for the laughs lol

i wouldnt be surpirised if the only moves they knew were fissure and sheer cold

[autumn vault]

True

That is my Zekrom account btw

Where i exclusively use Zekrom

[timber falcon]

from experience is zekrom just a balance type mon

[autumn vault]

Honestly, its great as a dragon dancer

But i might eventually test out non-ddance zekrom

[timber falcon]

how would that work?

[autumn vault]

Idk

I haven't cracked down on it

Why is there so many calyrex ice in low elo?

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2024regg-2126008268-iq1536xvdzh2i52vb55mbsp1tuqbledpw I have like, so many questions

This is OTS btw

[autumn vault]

I was also using it yesterday, feels very nice

[timber falcon]

this hurt to watch

opponent made so many questionable descisions

which mons would i use to answer urshifu water btw

e.g a rocky helmet mon

[cyan smelt]

1497 so close to 1500

[autumn vault]

Already at 1500, get good

[cyan smelt]

neat

[autumn vault]

Koraidon is cracked

[pearl wind]

run dat leaf storm amogu

[autumn vault]

Amoonguss is a good one

[scarlet otter]

I got to master ball rank in record time with this team:https://pokepast.es/254b534fedb7d3d1

Might be the best team I've made

[autumn vault]

Nice

[timber falcon]

in the end i actually didnt go with resist or rocky helm

though ill probs add rocky helm comfey in the end

i added iron hands

[autumn vault]

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2024regg-2126014712-v60m345wkrfzlhy1761av61ktync977pw The opponent had it in the bag, they threw

[willow vault]

Nice team

[autumn vault]

Go vote

[cyan smelt]

why am i losing all the time now

[pearl wind]

you tell me

[autumn vault]

Look at the replays and analyze them

To see what you are doing wrong

Which can help

[sharp cobalt]

[willow vault]

Taking a break to go over what went wrong and allow your mental to fortify could be smart

[cyan smelt]

i know miraidon is tough

so is caly-s

[autumn vault]

What i did to improve my mental health is go outside, relax, put my hands in the pool and touching grass

At the cost of poisoning my hands from the grass

[mighty stump]

If today's a bad day, just remember

Tomorrow could always be worse

[cyan smelt]

well i beat someone ranked 1519

[willow vault]

Was it worth it?

[cyan smelt]

i need to go outside more

[willow vault]

The outside world is great
