[bold geode]

I'll take old Heat D Wade at this point

[rustic mountain]

i mean that whole era is damn near gone

lebron is the last of it

kyrie is the era after that which makes it even worse lmao

[bold geode]

Yeah lmao
What we get from that?

D Rose (rip that career)
Giannis
Who else lol

[solid frigate]

should i update it

[bold geode]

Maybe Andrew Wiggins if you wanna count that

[rustic mountain]

uhhh

kyrie, harden, westbrook

giannis is more jokic era, they r still in their prime

[bold geode]

Yeah

Then again, as fuckin lanky as Giannis is sometimes

[rustic mountain]

i guess durant

durants in b/w eras kinda

[bold geode]

Like those lanky ass limbs go crazy
See that with Giannis and now Wemby bruh like

[rustic mountain]

i guess hes more bron era then kyrie era tho

[bold geode]

Like when you can fuckin dunk while doing the most limp ass hop, we got a problem

[rustic mountain]

giannis has filled out tho same for durant

wemby and chet are still sticks

[harsh depot]

And I lost again

[bold geode]

Lmao

Also Boban

[solid frigate]

from what this time-

[harsh depot]

Chien-Pao Sucker Punch and Raging Bolt

Got the Rain Dance and T1 KO on Groudon

But still lost

[bold geode]

I actually saw him in a game when he was with the Mavs still and it was funny the fact that Boban could basically dunk without jumping

[solid frigate]

yeah chien pao is a pain in the ass

[rustic mountain]

yea hes tall as shit

[rustic mountain]

what do u think u couldve done different

doesnt help much if u just move on w/o thinking on the loss

[harsh depot]

I don't know. I don't know and I'm getting pissed off

[rustic mountain]

yea id take a break then

gta b able to analyze that stuff as u go

win or lose

[harsh depot]

About to try one more cause too late for a break, but I don't know how to analyze by myself

No one came to watch either, so Idk

I'm in VC if anyone has time

[solid frigate]

one more game then break

[crisp hedge]

https://pokepast.es/8c64968ba3504818 going to la next weekend, any feedback? im 7-7 at 2 locals i went to this weekend

[solid frigate]

gapdos interesting

[rustic mountain]

just something u learn as u play more tbh. not as helpful for someone to tell u then to be able to do it in real time urself. its jus about identifying the turns that went badly and seeing wat ur options were in that moment to then redo hypotheticals then lead to better/winning spots

like rain dance u target groudon, who was the other mon? was it perhaps better to target that instead

[solid frigate]

just a recommendation,rocky helmetAmoonguss feels better against Urshifu Water

[next stump]

tera types are a little weird on a couple pokémon but other than that the team is solid

i personally prefer water urshifu over zapdos but i see the vision

[cyan smelt]

1500s finally!

[solid frigate]

nice!

[cyan smelt]

59.9% gxe

[molten oasis]

well, it wont be up for a bit but i'll have a rental out tonight

[cyan smelt]

pog

[crisp hedge]

@cyan smelt nice! what team are you running

[molten oasis]

congrats!

[crisp hedge]

@next stump yea the gapdos is in the air rn but ive never used urshifu so idk if i can get used to him before la

and the tera ground is bad in some situations

but helps in others

[next stump]

i think tera grass or fire will be consistently better

[cyan smelt]

zama, rotom-w, rillaboom, flutter, torn and regidrago

[solid frigate]

so we have Terapagos,Kyogre x2 ,Caly Ice x2,Shadow Rider(I just count that as Wolfey's Rental),Zamazenta x2,Groudon,Zekrom,Lunala and Dawn Wings Rentals

Later we are gonna have a Zacian one

[cyan smelt]

that's heaps of teams

[solid frigate]

i am debating should i do a rental for my New Terapagos Team

[rustic mountain]

u dont like tera water?

i get no wow or spore answer but jus a better defensive typing then the others

[next stump]

it’s super hard to play into incin without fire and it’s super hard to play into miraidon and amoonguss without grass

pick your poison basically

[rustic mountain]

yea

but not having either, prolly a nightmare haha

[harsh depot]

I won the battle before the break, now I'm taking a break

[solid frigate]

cool!

https://tenor.com/view/terapagos-pokemon-pokémon-pok-pokemon-scarlet-gif-16470751274646196587

[cyan smelt]

had a battle just before where the miraidon used discharge and knocked out his own farigiraf lol

[solid frigate]

Lmao

Oh what a nice Discharge,Would be a Shame if we Wide Guard it

[molten oasis]

Gapdos 👀

[rustic mountain]

miraidon doesnt ko 4 pokemon it kos 7 its built different

[molten oasis]

Lmao

[cyan smelt]

miraidon picks up kos even after it's used two draco meteors

[solid frigate]

Lmao

[rustic mountain]

watd u jus watch cybertrons vid

[cyan smelt]

no i've just seen it in action

[rustic mountain]

yea its strong

[solid frigate]

i just played the Ruinous Quartet Theme and the emoji is in sync with the Music i am playing lol

[rustic mountain]

thats a great song

[solid frigate]

ah yes,Reminded me of how it can one shot Groudon

[rustic mountain]

sv has bangers

[solid frigate]

All the Legendary Themes are A bop

[rustic mountain]

idk if i remember em all off top but the ruin one specifically is one of my favs

[solid frigate]

Terapagos and Ruin for me

and maybe Ogerpon

[rustic mountain]

yea idk those well enough

[solid frigate]

Terapagos is the one that made my eyes feel watery lol

[rustic mountain]

cuz u love terapagos?

[solid frigate]

https://youtu.be/zGYHfRFvuPk?si=tkARxusf7IP5cHHj

[solid frigate]

the theme is just too damn good

Area Zero+Tera Raid Theme

[rustic mountain]

oh yea its solid

i like it, wouldnt put it as 1 of my favs tho. i actually prefer the og a0 theme

[solid frigate]

i can see why,its more ominous and more mysterious

[rustic mountain]

yea i like the pacing more too

this one feels chaotic which i get but idk i cant see myself bumping it much

[solid frigate]

Terapagos's Theme is mix of Mysterious From Area Zero Theme and Hope from Tera Raid Battle theme

[rustic mountain]

yea its a cool mix i like the track progression

it doesnt feel as loop based as og a0 but still just dont vibe w/ it as much

[solid frigate]

Yeah SV nailed the Music and with Toby Fox Making some soundtrack

Pokemon Fans are in eargasm

[cyan smelt]

oh yeah i forgot that miraidon also koed the whimsicott in that battle lmao

[solid frigate]

LMAO

[rustic mountain]

u ever play colosseum?

[solid frigate]

heard of it

i am not that old of a pokemon player

[forest arrow]

Colosseum and Xd are elite

[rustic mountain]

good games but moreso the ost

[forest arrow]

i still have with my gamecubes

[solid frigate]

Shadow Lugia Theme,oh my god how can i start

[rustic mountain]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2IVACBm572c
this is a bop of epic proportions

[solid frigate]

I have Pokepark on the wii

[forest arrow]

all bops

[rustic mountain]

i sold mine

[solid frigate]

thats why i love the synchro machine

F

[molten oasis]

I think the ruins theme is peak

[rustic mountain]

what ruins team

(ik u meant theme)

[molten oasis]

Was about to say

[solid frigate]

https://tenor.com/view/chi-yu-fishie-tiny-pokemon-gif-1712513170322551993

[molten oasis]

Oh

[rustic mountain]

ik u dont take jokes well haha so i clarified

[molten oasis]

Auto correct at its finest

[solid frigate]

I even put Terapagos's Theme higher than Ultra Necrozma lol

[rustic mountain]

gta love auto correct

its the ducking best

[solid frigate]

when bias is justified

[rustic mountain]

oh theme ranking i was so confused at 1st

[solid frigate]

yeah

old versions kinda fall out

personally i put Ulltra Beasts higher but my friends don't like it

[molten oasis]

I feel there’s some bias to the terapagos theme but yea, good list

[cyan smelt]

is alcremie a thing now?

[solid frigate]

i mean- it is a great theme

[cyan smelt]

terapagos is just a little guy

[solid frigate]

yep

[molten oasis]

The theme is good I won’t lie

[crisp hedge]

best song ever

[cyan smelt]

I just realised that the sound Pokemon make when they tera is terapagos' cry

[craggy dagger]

mhm

[solid frigate]

yeah

[craggy dagger]

the angy face on every tera gem (iirc-?) on the tera crown is the face of the baby pagos when pagos teras

[molten oasis]

terapagos got cool lore

[abstract quest]

teammates for Miraidon? Already using whimsicott, farigiraf, ursaluna BM and incine just want a final team slot

please don’t say ogerpon or ditto

[cyan smelt]

Chi yu

[abstract quest]

Ok then

[mighty stump]

If youre looking for a 6th for Rajan Bal’s team

[cyan smelt]

Or tornadus

[mighty stump]

Iron Hands

lol

[abstract quest]

Tornadus and Whimsicott seems really weird @cyan smelt

[abstract quest]

Brian hands huh? Maybe

[mighty stump]

Hands improves the mirror and does better into Terapagos HO

Double FO also appreciated

[cyan smelt]

Oh sorry nvm not torn if you have whims

[abstract quest]

How does it help into the mirror?

[abstract quest]

Np

[mighty stump]

DP for Ursa, Ice Punch for Mirai. Another resist to its Electric moves

Im saying this from evidence of more than just me using my variant

[abstract quest]

So fake out drain punch ice punch and wild charge with av I’m guessing?

[mighty stump]

Basically

[abstract quest]

Ok then

Time to pull Brian hands out of the box to do stuff

[tepid imp]

Which Kubfu Evolution Is Better? Rapid Strike Style Or Single Strike?

[charred saddle]

depends on team, MU and context

[tepid imp]

Uber

[knotty mirage]

Probably single strike but i don't think urshifu is good enough for uber

[pearl wind]

turn 63 😭 havent played a randbats game that long in a while

[mighty stump]

3/4 of Top 4 from Santiago Regional was Zamazenta lol

[knotty mirage]

Didn't believe zam can achieve that with how the peformance on swsh is

[cyan smelt]

did any zacians make top cut

[patent marsh]

To be fair it never got body press in swsh even though it was introduced in that gen

Also zamazenta would've also been better if behemoth bash wasn't just a rehashed behemoth blade that was just renamed

[cyan smelt]

behemoth bash would've been better if it used zama's def stat

[patent marsh]

Yea

Exactly it was such a huge missed opportunity

[knotty mirage]

With how body press making zam got top cut i don't think it's gonna be good idea

[patent marsh]

Would've also made the mon interesting

[solid frigate]

hoi

[solid frigate]

whats the last onne

[solid frigate]

but my friends thinks its mid because of the Said lore,its not enough

Terapagos is the Fuck you sign for the Hoenn Fans of begging a Kaiju Legendary

[mighty stump]

Terapagos

[patent marsh]

^

[solid frigate]

lets go turtle boi

[solid frigate]

I'm fine for being 3rd

AND ALSO VOLCARONA???? IS THIS HEAVEN?

[mighty stump]

Volcarona is ok

[patent marsh]

Flutter Mane

[solid frigate]

https://tenor.com/view/ksi-floating-stairs-sidemen-gif-20767306

Me rn after seeeing Terapagos Volcarona:

[cyan smelt]

Ig volc resists Zama's stabs

[solid frigate]

and also Deal good damage against it

Terapagos is not going anywhere in Reg G

its quite Versatile for Teambuilding

[cyan smelt]

Curious about the moveset on that volcarona

[solid frigate]

Quiver Dance,Fire STAB,Protect and wha-

[mighty stump]

Id expect Struggle Bug/Fiery Dance if not Heat Wave/Bug Buzz

[solid frigate]

i see

[mighty stump]

Rage Powder could also work if not QD

But I feel you want to give them a reason to hit you since Zama is Tera-Grass

[solid frigate]

Fair enough

yeah Support Volcarona has been a thing in Gen 6

[cyan smelt]

funny how volcarona is still better than iron moth and slither wing

[chrome knot]

miraidon/volcarona just won one of our stacked mss’

[craggy dagger]

[mighty stump]

The RNG for the last few days have been interesting to say the least

I missed 3 Heat Waves, Leaf Storm, Sleep Powder in a single game

and then missed 2 HHP in a row

But in turn I get proof of concept

I guess

[coral moat]

Does anyone know any good non legendary dark types for competitive

[mighty stump]

Incin. Kingambit.

Jugulis, kind of

Urshifu, Chi Yu, Chien Pao

[coral moat]

I have gambit on with supreme overlord but he always gets on tapped even when iv and ev trained

[mighty stump]

Depends on how you trained it, what you're up against, and unless it's BSS I don't realistically see why you're using Supreme Overlord. What format???

[coral moat]

I don't do competitive much but I'm trying to get into it if not supreme overlord what should I use

What would be the best possible config for him

[mighty stump]

You didn't answer what format

[coral moat]

Idk you'd have to explain what format is for pokemon

Ive never heard that term used for pokemon

[mighty stump]

Doubles, Singles, in-game or not

[coral moat]

Oh mb double

[mighty stump]

Common sets are Assault Vest 4-move/Black Glasses w Swords Dance and 2 Dark STAB + Protect/More rarely would you see Safety Goggles with the same set

I suggest you read up on the beginner resources that you can find in the pins before actually getting into VGC

VGC = Doubles In-game

[coral moat]

Oh ok well thanks for the help

[solid frigate]

also me fighting against Grimmsnarl Hate

[harsh depot]

Morning Comp chat

[south shuttle]

this sucks 😭

i just dropped out of 1400 😭

[harsh depot]

[solid frigate]

[harsh depot]

How goes?

[solid frigate]

good

also just defended from a Grimmsnarl hate

[harsh depot]

Oh jeez. How so?

[solid frigate]

they hate Grimmsnarl for only doing Screens and stuff

like not enough use

Dude what can you ask for a Support Pokemon-

[harsh depot]

Yeah, exactly

[craggy dagger]

good morning lilly

[harsh depot]

Heya Nova 🙂

I need to feed ponies irl, then I'm gonna jump in voice for some more VGC if anyone wants to join me

[mighty stump]

Sometimes people get baited into only using Grimmsnarl for Screens

Its so sad

[harsh depot]

Also @solid frigate thank you for letting me help test your alt Terapagos team the yesterday (I think?). It was pretty cool you asked for my help testing it

[gentle crag]

lillylion56 has given 1 Gen Rep to morrispxg456

[solid frigate]

Foul Play,Spirit Break and heck The Support is very good besides Screen

[solid frigate]

np

[mighty stump]

Sucker Punch/Fake Out/TWave/Parting Shot

Fake Tears

[solid frigate]

yeah that alone is great

[harsh depot]

Let me get horses fed so I can stream some battles

[solid frigate]

lmao

wait isn't spectrier like a dead horse

[harsh depot]

Yes

[craggy dagger]

glastrier is kinda just-
a block of ice that took shape of a horse

[solid frigate]

so yeah i forgot what do they eat

[willow vault]

[harsh depot]

@craggy dagger@willow vault Get in here ;P

[tawdry urchin]

Dose anyone know if a tera steel landious can survive a draco metor or dragon pulse from a miraidon?

[mighty stump]

Depends. If Miraidon is modest and Lando-I has no bulk, it's a roll.

[autumn vault]

252+ SpA Choice Specs Hadron Engine Miraidon Draco Meteor vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Tera-Steel Landorus: 148-175 (90.2 - 106.7%) -- 43.8% chance to OHKO

Maybe

[tawdry urchin]

mmm ok cus I need it to survive cus most times they just draco and I forget to protect and then terra steel but I just wanna make shure

cus landious can't outspeed miraidon

[autumn vault]

Then make sure to protect

Sinple as that

[tawdry urchin]

Oh last thing: Isn't miradion the most chosen mon for regulation G? I swaer I rember seeing a usage thing on youtube but I can't rember

[timber falcon]

Can the set I gave u not tank it?

[tawdry urchin]

Not shure, I keep forgeting to terra steel after protecting but now It's fully locked in my brain but I just wanna make shure

[timber falcon]

Just remember to scour with protect

Scout*

[tawdry urchin]

kk

Ok yeah is anyone able to test with me if landious can survive miardion? I can't get into a game with someone using it

[mighty stump]

I just told you

[tawdry urchin]

[mighty stump]

It's not my word, it's numbers lol

[tawdry urchin]

[mighty stump]

252+ SpA Choice Specs Hadron Engine Miraidon Draco Meteor vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Tera-Steel Landorus: 148-175 (90.2 - 106.7%) -- 43.8% chance to OHKO

[autumn vault]

[tawdry urchin]

Oh yeah I forgot... sorry

[sharp cobalt]

They;re trying (I think)

[timber falcon]

[craggy dagger]

[harsh depot]

I'm back if anyone wants to come back into VC

@solid frigate and @craggy dagger

[autumn vault]

I can tell that you love Magolor, honestly i can't blame you for it

Magolor is a very well executed character

[solid frigate]

Dawn Wings Team is based on it

[autumn vault]

Also didn't Magolor redeem himself in his own epilogue? Because that team name (the second name) is quite innacurate when the epilogue exists

[harsh depot]

Made it to Master Ball!

[mighty stump]

Congrats Lillly!

[harsh depot]

Thanks! 😄

[craggy dagger]

[graceful flare]

Can I battle u sv

[craggy dagger]

no thanks?

im not even on my switch atm

[graceful flare]

Can I play u sv

[solid frigate]

No i am tired

[north pagoda]

[craggy dagger]

if you wanna go fight someone go check out #1046572041421197352 instead

[graceful flare]

Oh no no no

That place seems like it reeks of people who are on discord all day and do nothing and are 28 without a occupation

[mighty stump]

Lol

[solid frigate]

Dude Me and Crep have school

[mighty stump]

I don't personally think it's right to really make assumptions about people over the internet like that

Unless given evidence otherwise

[patent marsh]

[mighty stump]

Some people could be between jobs/or just work from home so Discord is pretty easily accessible

Plus, could be on their phone too

[willow vault]

I mean I’m currently writing an essay

[patent marsh]

could also just be people with short work hours

[mighty stump]

Or you know, kids

[graceful flare]

Yes but what if hey are always on tue chat and never seem to leave

[mighty stump]

🤷‍♂️

I'm pretty much always on other than when I'm asleep/busy

[willow vault]

Same

[mighty stump]

I don't exactly fit the classical discord stereotype

[graceful flare]

That is no job at 40 and lives at mom's house and on discord right

[mighty stump]

Probably. Although living in your parent's house in this economy is probably a more intelligent financial decision

[willow vault]

It’s actually so valid rn

[mighty stump]

Plus, I'm Asian, we don't really believe in flying the coop

[graceful flare]

Ehat is a flying the coop

[solid frigate]

as an asian i also agree

[mighty stump]

Your parents making you move out

[patent marsh]

yea

[mighty stump]

If anything, most of the time Asian parents want you to stay so you can save for your future more easily/without worry

[solid frigate]

mhm

[patent marsh]

I still got no clue why westerners stigmatise this so much

[craggy dagger]

so true, as an asian i can confirm

[willow vault]

Why can’t my parents want me to live at home

[mighty stump]

Individualism, lack of community

[patent marsh]

[cosmic warren]

my dad doesnt want me smoking all his weed. thats it 100%

[mighty stump]

Not like smoking is good for you in general

[cosmic warren]

nothing is good for you

[solid frigate]

Smoking sucks man

[cosmic warren]

everything now either makes you fat or gives you cancer. who cares?

[solid frigate]

Asian gang moment

[patent marsh]

the house I stay at is just a neighbourhood across from my parents

[craggy dagger]

eating, drinking, and breathing oxygen is good for you
along with going outside to take a walk in the forest

[mighty stump]

Sure, but a lot of nothing is a lot lower risk class than smoking and kills you slower than smoking so

[cosmic warren]

bears live there. you could die, too dangerous to do.

[mighty stump]

Lol

[patent marsh]

though only problem my neighbourhood is on a mountain while my parent's is at the base of said mountain

[craggy dagger]

your local park has bears-?
i'd hate to go there then-

[cosmic warren]

forest is a park?

[mighty stump]

Look at raisin-lung over here justifying an addiction

[mighty stump]

Bears are great

[cosmic warren]

you dont even know me and pre judge me as an addict? maybe you have the problem

[craggy dagger]

there are parks with forests-
i can take central park as an example-
it has lots of trees = forest ig

[solid frigate]

[craggy dagger]

doesnt have to be like a wilderness forest

[craggy dagger]

true true-
they're cute

[cosmic warren]

well i live in new york. we dont have forests

[craggy dagger]

[willow vault]

My parents don’t mind me living close but they want to retire and don’t want any of me or my siblings living at home

[mighty stump]

Westerners

[craggy dagger]

a forest doesnt have to be lots of trees in an unexplored wilderness

[mighty stump]

:

[craggy dagger]

HEY-

[willow vault]

I’m also a westerner believe it or not

[solid frigate]

idk about me

[craggy dagger]

canada is just too much nature for ppl to understand ig-

[mighty stump]

Maybe for ol Raisin-lung

I don't know how you can start off your first impression with a statement like taking your father's weed and then state you don't have a problem

Like, you typed that

[patent marsh]

australians can since canada is just offbrand australia minus all the uniqueness

[solid frigate]

lol

[patent marsh]

by uniqueness I mean creatures of horrors

[craggy dagger]

pffft-
thats-
fair-
we're australia if half of aussie was covered in snow and polar bears

[mighty stump]

I love spiders. Behind at least two layers of clear acrylic

Wish I wasn't

[patent marsh]

[mighty stump]

I think they're cool

[patent marsh]

then you have Malaysia having monkeys escape the forest reserve in the middle of the city

[craggy dagger]

would you rather polar bears or spiders though

[mighty stump]

Polar Bears

[solid frigate]

meanwhile me:know that Bees are useful to the Environment but scared of Bees

[patent marsh]

australian spiders is a wild card

[mighty stump]

I had a Red Carpenter bee once enter my flat

[patent marsh]

either be something really bad or just really skin crawling

[mighty stump]

It sounded like a lawnmower

I trapped it under glass and was full of fear

[craggy dagger]

we have a goose named after us-
we're just better xD
where's the aussie goose-

[solid frigate]

Yeah i would just:

It's Australia, the wildlife is the wildest there

[mighty stump]

Don't even get me started on cockroaches

As a grown man, I will cry

[autumn vault]

Cockroaches are disgusting as hell

[patent marsh]

[mighty stump]

If you never had one fly straight at you in the middle of the night

God

[autumn vault]

Not too scared of them but i know some people who are very scared of them

[patent marsh]

I haven't seen a cockroach in so many years now

[mighty stump]

Im so glad I live in an apartment

[patent marsh]

luckily enough

[mighty stump]

Me too

[autumn vault]

Haven't seen one in a year

[solid frigate]

i used to have Beetles as a Pet and when they fly scared the living Hell of my mom

[craggy dagger]

roaches ick-

[patent marsh]

last time I saw one was at my secondary school when they had a funny fair with snakes n stuff

[mighty stump]

I love snakes

I have a tattoo of one

[solid frigate]

Snek

[craggy dagger]

[mighty stump]

[craggy dagger]

until they attempt to swallow your arm whole

[mighty stump]

💀

[solid frigate]

[craggy dagger]

[mighty stump]

Apparently

[craggy dagger]

hm

[solid frigate]

my biggest Fear is still Bees,Roaches

Mice i don't know why i don't hate them

[autumn vault]

[patent marsh]

[solid frigate]

https://tenor.com/view/lmouse-gif-26166624

LOOK AT IT THEY ARE CUTE AF

[solid frigate]

Hamsters are also one og my favs

[autumn vault]

Yup

They are very adorable

[patent marsh]

me when I'm near a glass railing on the 7th floor and see down to the ground floor 💀

[autumn vault]

My legs shiver when i am like 20 meters up high

[craggy dagger]

rats and mice are cute

[solid frigate]

yeah idk why they are hated so much

[autumn vault]

Ngl mice are ok

[patent marsh]

[autumn vault]

They are more cute than scary

[solid frigate]

i kinda don't want to have a Turtle as a Pet

[craggy dagger]

if anything mice > rats for most ppl-

[solid frigate]

its weird that i say i don't want Turtles as pets despite Terapagos is my 2nd Fav Legendary

[craggy dagger]

i mean tortl will prolly just-
sit there and nom lettuce

[autumn vault]

Turtles do seem pretty hard to take care of

[craggy dagger]

having a gekko or smth seems more cool imo

[solid frigate]

the Lifespan

[autumn vault]

Especially giant turtles

[patent marsh]

https://tenor.com/view/coby-epicseven-epic-seven-e7-gif-18210169

[solid frigate]

[craggy dagger]

[solid frigate]

Frog 🙂

[craggy dagger]

[solid frigate]

Pidgeon or Parrots

[gentle crag]

[craggy dagger]

[solid frigate]

No Nia

(Its a Xenoblade Reference-)

[craggy dagger]

ik but it sounds like-
nya

if it was out of context

[patent marsh]

I got a lot of cats at home, my Rottweiler and american shorthair follow my aunt to her work these past few months since I'm gone for work

[solid frigate]

[willow vault]

I’m not sure what pet I’d want but I guess I’ll see if I get one in the future

[timber falcon]

how to use toxapex singles?

[patent marsh]

yea those 2 are very clingy when I came back from japan they pretty much stuck with me before I left for new zealand

[solid frigate]

Recover stall.

[autumn vault]

Stall and Offense are both pretty good

I would go stall

[solid frigate]

me when i lose to Zamazenta:

[timber falcon]

[solid frigate]

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2024regg-2126870756-yjhx0e5jm1oijr5jbx1yr8q8wj3q692pw I have been getting shit rng in low elo with my Zekrom alt

[timber falcon]

but im running full regenerator team lol

purely cause i think its a cool ability

[autumn vault]

You are obssesed with Magolor at this point

[craggy dagger]

oh dear

[solid frigate]

kek

[craggy dagger]

hey magolor is a cool character

[autumn vault]

Correct

And i really like Mago

[timber falcon]

very funni

lol

i know low ladder but still

[craggy dagger]

i forgot torn gets regen

[willow vault]

I didn’t realise corsola got regenerator

[autumn vault]

I didn't even know that Corsola and Eldegoss have Regenerator

[craggy dagger]

eldegoss i remember for some reason-

[autumn vault]

https://pokepast.es/8913471fd7515832 I have been cooking up with this team and i am losing a lot in Low elo

[craggy dagger]

u turn AV mienshao was smth i tried running in singles before

[timber falcon]

how

[autumn vault]

Btw i use my alt, my main has 1500 elo

[craggy dagger]

isnt the unite ability regen for eldegoss?

[autumn vault]

Opinions on what i cooked up?

[craggy dagger]

very mixed feelings

[autumn vault]

Idk, haven't played Unite in a long time

Mostly because of the state of the game

[willow vault]

It looks solid, it’s just gonna be slightly more difficult since your playing with zekrom instead of a top restricted

[craggy dagger]

like i can see the vision

[autumn vault]

True and i am relearning it again, just have to keep practicing

Also, if you tell me to drop Zekrom then it's a waste of time to do so

I will never quit Zekrom

[craggy dagger]

but im not sure how everyone else supports zekrom-
its like a team where everyone vibes, then zekrom is just there xD

[autumn vault]

I also have 5 Zekrom teams

[willow vault]

Dude I play Palkia I’m not in the right place to tell you not to

[craggy dagger]

if you wanna make a zekrom team id maybe find a way to support zekrom a bit

[autumn vault]

Grassy terrain, friend guard, follow me, heal pulse, helping hand and taunt, i think thats enough

But i could go even farther

[willow vault]

Nah you need 2 taunt users

[craggy dagger]

i mean zekrom seems a bit out of place there-

[timber falcon]

thats caue it is

[craggy dagger]

i guess you do have redirect for setup though

[autumn vault]

Chien Pao supports it and hits Ground and Grass for SE damage

And SoR

Flutter helps with the Dragon types

[craggy dagger]

pao is pao-
but if something lives and hits you then uh-
goodbye zekrom since its also lowered defense

[autumn vault]

You are worrying too much

[craggy dagger]

maybe

[autumn vault]

I switch it in after Zekrom has already set up a dragon dance

[craggy dagger]

do you have offensive calcs for zekrom that i can see-

[craggy dagger]

its good to have both so that you can see what standard sets you can deal with

can it KO anything important tho-

[autumn vault]

No wait that SpD is wrong

[craggy dagger]

its 60

[autumn vault]

252+ SpA Flutter Mane Shadow Ball vs. 108 HP / 60 SpD Zekrom with Friend Guard: 55-65 (29.1 - 34.3%) -- 3.5% chance to 3HKO

[craggy dagger]

so it'd be at least 50% chance to ohko iirc

[autumn vault]

252+ SpA Flutter Mane Moonblast vs. 108 HP / 60 SpD Zekrom with Friend Guard: 127-153 (67.1 - 80.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

252 SpA Flutter Mane Moonblast vs. 108 HP / 60 SpD Zekrom: 158-188 (83.5 - 99.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

See, not too bad

252+ SpA Flutter Mane Moonblast vs. 100 HP / 60 SpD Zekrom: 170-204 (90.4 - 108.5%) -- 50% chance to OHKO

[autumn vault]

Modest

Most would run timid

If i set up a ddance then Zekrom one shots every flutter mane in existence

[timber falcon]

except some niche sets

[autumn vault]

But those are not the main problem

[craggy dagger]

ik ik

just checking since you did a modest calc before

[timber falcon]

true, but u said in existence

[autumn vault]

+1 76 Atk Zekrom Bolt Strike vs. 220 HP / 132 Def Flutter Mane: 214-253 (135.4 - 160.1%) -- guaranteed OHKO
Don't think so buddy

+1 76 Atk Zekrom Bolt Strike vs. 252 HP / 252 Def Flutter Mane: 186-219 (114.8 - 135.1%) -- guaranteed OHKO

[craggy dagger]

what if you dont have +1?

[timber falcon]

oh forgot +1 is beeg boost

[craggy dagger]

you cant guarantee a +1 but yeah

[timber falcon]

mons like lugia:

[autumn vault]

28 Atk Zekrom Bolt Strike vs. 212 HP / 132 Def Flutter Mane: 139-165 (88.5 - 105%) -- 31.3% chance to OHKO

[autumn vault]

68 Atk Zekrom Bolt Strike vs. 172 HP / 140 Def Flutter Mane: 142-168 (93.4 - 110.5%) -- 56.3% chance to OHKO

https://pokepast.es/938926a38bbb517f

And also reshiram

if we got a legends unova then maybe

[timber falcon]

im not a fan of new legendary forms

[autumn vault]

[craggy dagger]

but a remake would just stay the same

[timber falcon]

not a remake

[autumn vault]

Primals came from a remake

[craggy dagger]

not a remake thats a new game in legends arceus and mega evolution

to keep up with the theme of gen 6

[timber falcon]

no they did not its the 1st legends game with a whole new story thats why

This is why on my Lunala team i will show tomorrow, i have Urshifu-R

[willow vault]

yeah I understand the logic, because otherwise you get walled. But Ting-lu dropping special Attacking damage aswell makes it such a tough wall to break through

[mighty stump]

u didnt rlly need to target Pollen puff into Hydrapple cause Snarl bypasses Sub anyways

[willow vault]

oh

I didn't know that but I will keep that noted

[autumn vault]

On my Lunala team, i have all special attackers except Urshifu-R, i kind of need a counter too it

[mighty stump]

Sound moves bypass Substitute

[willow vault]

cool, I will note that down

[autumn vault]

Also why did they trick room INFRONT of an amoonguss?

It could have spored NDW

[uneven spade]

Working on a couple team comps for Reg G- this will be my first season playing competitively. Where can I make improvements to this comp? I’m unsure about whether I want Whimmsicott or Tornadus as my speed support. And I’m on the fence about Hisuian lilligant or Venasaur, but in the testing games I’ve played Hisuian lilligant seems pretty damn good.

https://pokepast.es/abc043e463918135

[willow vault]

I have no idea but i'll take it

[autumn vault]

Also you could have not clicked spore at the 8th turn

[strange fjord]

poison powder and stun spore on whimm?

[autumn vault]

NDW was already asleep

And you clearly underspeed it

[willow vault]

honestly my brain short circuited and saw it had been asleep 3 turns and blanked I was faster under tr

[strange fjord]

probably want to change poison powder for something like Encore. great at locking Pokemon into bad moves

or taunt

[autumn vault]

Booster Energy or Sash or Specs over scarf

[molten oasis]

14 hours of sleep

[autumn vault]

Also not sure about 3 grass types

[uneven spade]

Okay, that actually sounds good! Thanks for the input

[gentle crag]

cobzvevo has given 1 Gen Rep to pizza.time

[charred saddle]

idk about leftovers whim and the movesets

[uneven spade]

That’s why I’m leaning towards replacing whimm with torn

[charred saddle]

and scarfed flutter?

[autumn vault]

Then go ahead

[mighty stump]

Should also probably show us your EVs in case of mistakes.

[autumn vault]

Also don't run axe kick on H-Lilligant

You can use sleep powder or after you

[charred saddle]

• you can run like sleep powder on hlilli, or after you for fast precipice

but tbh not a fan of 3 grass typings

[uneven spade]

Copy that. Like I said this is my first season, have only ever watched comp before or played doubles casually. I’ve actually made an effort to get more viable pokemon this time around

[willow vault]

with how much I run into encore, its starting to really get under my nerves

[autumn vault]

Also pls don't run victory dance on H-Lilligant

[uneven spade]

Is SD better?

[autumn vault]

No

Don't run set up moves on it

Sleep powder or after you

[uneven spade]

Copy that.

[autumn vault]

Go with the one you haven't selected

Coaching is also another good option

But i prefer the ones i said over coaching

[strange fjord]

just run alcremie with aroma veil 😉

[mighty stump]

There are some beginner resources that I recommend perusing through in the pins as well.

[uneven spade]

Seriously, thank you guys for giving me serious advice and not just ripping it apart. 😅

[willow vault]

no, I don't run that because I don't want to use alcreamie. I'll just spore them unless it's whimsicott, if it's whimsicott i'll just be sad

[uneven spade]

I’ll be sure to check those out!

[autumn vault]

<#competitive_discussion message> this is a good place to look at Rat King

[strange fjord]

pikalytics still hasn't updated to reg g 💀

[autumn vault]

Why most have moved to Munchstats

[willow vault]

not for another 12 days

[mighty stump]

Pikalytics tends to wait for the first official month to finish

Last I remember

[autumn vault]

Well, thats odd

[uneven spade]

Thanks, I’ve bookmarked these pages for continued reading.

[gentle crag]

You gave Gen Rep too recently. You can give Gen Rep again <t:1716236012:R>.

[strange fjord]

but the data is there and available. wonder why they wait a month.

[mighty stump]

Most likely for Switch data

[strange fjord]

still don't know what kind of api they use to get the switch data. if i ever find out, I'd have it on munchstats

[mighty stump]

Oh

Also

Since you’re new

Best tip: Just play

Don’t worry too much about the details

Just play and learn from your games

[uneven spade]

I appreciate everyone’s input a lot. I’m definitely gonna put some hours into playing and figure out what works for me, just wanted to get some advice on what I’ve been working with based on the mons I have access to. 🙂

[willow vault]

good luck with the battles and feel free to share any tough matchups your facing, were happy to help

um, idk what to say about this game https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2024regg-2127001272

[molten oasis]

Focus blast Reuniclus lol

[willow vault]

Double lati to avoid eq aswell

[timber falcon]

uh what would be the moveset for safety goggles gambit?

[willow vault]

Kowtow, sucker punch, swords dance and protect

[timber falcon]

no iron head?

[willow vault]

Not usually you can over swords dance but sd is super nice

[timber falcon]

ok thanks ill try swords dance first to see results

[dapper crag]

Move: Uproar

The user spends three turns locked into this move. This move targets an opponent at random on each turn. On the first of the three turns, all sleeping active Pokemon wake up. During the three turns, no active Pokemon can fall asleep by any means, and Pokemon switched in during the effect do not wake up. If the user is prevented from moving or the attack is not successful against the target during one of the turns, the effect ends.

idk bout that haha but its very good

[solid frigate]

finally got a nice review on the Dawn Wings Team

[molten oasis]

Rental is out

[solid frigate]

i need to learn how to make those spread sheets

but it looks good!

[molten oasis]

you should like, read the blog or smth

[solid frigate]

maybe

i'm still debating if i am gonna share a rental on my updated Terapagos Team

but then again,eh maybe this can keep it private

[craggy dagger]

spelling errors did you catch them-?

[solid frigate]

i can edit it rn but they spelling Errors are mostly Pokemons

[craggy dagger]

mhm

it looks good though

[solid frigate]

i'm glad my rental got its first review

[craggy dagger]

it was nice how you showed the Stats in game (with EVs)

[solid frigate]

and with Items to alter it

[craggy dagger]

mhm

[solid frigate]

i done that for Terapagos and Kyogre as well

[mighty stump]

it pains me to see some things non-centered

[prime bison]

Hey could somebody let me know if Chien-Pao, Life Orb, Stellar Tera is viable? Seems kind of squishy to me but I got a recommendation for a team with it.

And do I have to be a higher level to post pictures from camera roll in here?

[solid frigate]

it can work,but Tera Ghost is better

since Stellar Tera does not have any defensive purposes

[prime bison]

Yeah that’s what I thought

And I saw bug type Tera on Archaludon with assault vest?

[solid frigate]

Bug is just dissapointing for that

Grass/Fairy would work better

[prime bison]

Yeah probably a mistake on the Tera types

[solid frigate]

they might cook something but usually Tera Fairy is more better defensively

[craggy dagger]

yes-
you just need to chat here for a little bit until you hit great ball (level 6) for image perms.
it sounds a bit weird but it’s to prevent bots and spam

[prime bison]

I’m trying to post pictures of my team in here for advice but it won’t let me, seems weird

Damn

Is your level spread across all t chats or in each individual one has a different level
