yeah,both that i did not attend-
there won’t be any locals or regionals over the summer
so that’s probably why nothing comes up
Weeklies are generally held same locations and none are where I am, in Bristol there are 2 weeklies I think
welp thats the only time i am free
Cool cool I wonder why
I’m in a tcg surrounded area
for some weird reason they always put a stop on any CP events for a couple months before worlds
probably so that no one earns an invite last minute

I saw
also dawn Wings also Mentioned so noice
It revealed the only strat meaning that more people will expect it making the surprise factor less strong
Last event in my country was in march
Damn
I hope I can try something someday
i might need to build a different team if i do regionals
Use the good ones
huh uk really is blessed with tournies, I probably shouldn’t be complaining
i built like 15 teams with Alterations.
Terapagos and Dawn Wings might be my main ones
100% if you can ever attend a regional or international realistically, you should
Calm Mind Covert Cloak Balance and Power Herb Meteor Beam Trick Room
it makes playing the ladder seem like a completely different (and worse) game
yeah
Premier challenges after summer
i think Dawn Wings has Potential so i might use it
great idea
Lunala definitely has potential when it's double restricted
I wonder if it's already gonna be double restricted by the time summer ends
I don't think skill ceilings are a thing as much as just some being harder to pilot
As in played perfectly optimally the best?
Skill floors definitely exist
I agree
Probably caly ice
Like the more op legends are definitely even more valuable and op when used by a low level player against another low level player
Honestly I would be tempted to say terapagos, using Tera at the perfect timing has even more additional value for terapagos and it feels the most versatile of the restricted to me
the timing on tera and protecting it to attack
I haven't seen terapagos in ladder in a surprisingly long time
huh???
Maybe it's because I'm only playing bo1 ladder
In all fairness I almost exclusively run into caly-I, Koraidon and Zamazenta
The only times I see terapagos is when I use it
Oh yeah I see loads of miraidon I just wanted to forget those games
Who would've guessed that zamazenta would end up being one of the best legendaries this gen and surpassing zacian
Me
Because I saw that it got body press early
Good for you
same as well
when i saw the moveset change i was like:Oh fu-
Honestly behemoth bash should have had the effect
And they just don't give it body press
true
also Terapagos with earth Power is better since zama and Miraidon
while also beating Tera Fire Koraidon
I don't see a casual battle discussion channel so ig I'll ask here.
The other night I tried using a legal volcanion in a casual double battle but it claimed that there was an issue with my volcanion. I removed it from my team and everything went fine. Is volcanion not allowed even in casual? I haven't been able to find a conclusive answer to this online.
And if volcanion Is restricted from online battles entirely, can it be used in link battles made through link codes?
its a Mythical
Why have I been notified about entei and dusk mane
Are mythicals restricted entirely?
exactly
For vgc yes
Link Battles might allowed depends on the Ruleset
If standard rules set is put in for no dupe pokemon/items/all pkmn lvl 50, will it he allowed?
Be*
In sword and shield there was an NPC you could talk to if your pokemon was from another game in order to get it cleared for battle. I’m not sure if that mechanic exists in SV but worth looking into
otherwise yeah maybe it’s just a mythical issue
Moxie Boosted:No one thinks Rayquaza is gonna be the most Busted Pokemon of all time.
Me:I mean i think Rayquaza Fans that does not know competitve would argue
https://pokepast.es/605915cf6035293f made some progress with a team with this
looks great for now
Thoughts? Idk if I’m keeping torn it was just an add as I’m not 100% sure what the team needs rn
Pelipper can be good option for Countering Koraidon
I can’t bring pelipper into any matches with ogerpon
cuz it depends if Koraidon is gonna Tera Fire
i honestly don't know then
cuz Pelipper looks good aganist Koraidon Teams
and it can help Zacian to Survive Opposing Hearthflame
which Zacian Hates
I think it's pretty much automatic
I think it was that way mostly so you couldn't have transfer only moves
Now transfer moves are entirely gone
Yea, I mean the sun mu relies on me baiting out the Tera from koraidon to either Tera stellar it out of the game or surging strikes with torn+rain
Idk, I need to practice the mu with someone
I have a korai team
if its Koraidon i can't help it cuz i am bad using it
But it's not finished
Not right now I’m going to work lol
I need to finish some evs and final details
I think I'm ditching the scarf on koraidon and redoing the ev spread
I might do life orb
Not worried about incin since the team has kingambit
But I am worried about incin
Because it has wisp
I think I'll vive gambit a lum berry
Safety goggles never came into play anyways
i am fine against Kingambit cuz i have Chi Yu and Urshifu
Well what does chi yu have to say against koraidon
And what does urshifu have to say against rilla
That's why you play a balanced rounded team
252 SpA Choice Specs Beads of Ruin Chi-Yu Overheat vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Koraidon in Sun: 170-201 (97.1 - 114.8%) -- 81.3% chance to OHKO
Idk did i done any calc wrong
https://pokepast.es/7839aef0d018e29e
Does that feel not balanced Enough?
That looks cool but what's the point of cress
Thunder Wave And Amoonguss Denier with Lunar Blessing
also that Thunder Wave can disrupt Koraidon Hard
252 Atk Choice Band Orichalcum Pulse Tera Fire Koraidon Flare Blitz vs. 252 HP / 180 Def Cresselia in Sun: 249-294 (109.6 - 129.5%) -- guaranteed OHKO
If you're using specs for your calc I think it's fair to use band for this
no one will run band koraidon tho?
Yeah, CUZ MY CHI YU IS SPECS
so its not a fair deal on it
196+ Atk Orichalcum Pulse Tera Fire Koraidon Flare Blitz vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Chi-Yu in Sun: 133-157 (102.3 - 120.7%) -- guaranteed OHKO well then
This guy can also play that game
Dude do you hate my team or something-
sigh
but yes koraidon doesnt really care about chiyu
Well at least now you know
chiyu is frail enough to die from flare blitz
The partner next to it might
especially since like chiyu goes to ghost when theres korai
and flare blitz neutral OHKOes
and also
I don't always go Chi Yu when against Koraidon
great Minimize strat teams
give me actual teams
ok groudon team with Snorlax
@mighty stump saw a sleep talk Snorlax but gets shut down by Torn and Amooguss
Its shit
Idt youre allowed to run Sleep Talk
yep it gets neutrlised by Taunt+Spore
well its not me is the opposing Groudon team
ah yes Showdown BS
kinda funny someone still thinks Terapagos has to Tera to be good
Funny that someone thinks base necrozma is good
idk man
Dawn Wings, Maybe
Dusk Mane? Ehhhh
Base Necrozma? NO
https://pokepast.es/b472863100f77d51
Wtf is that-
I saw someone build this team
i need to wash my eyes after seeing this
dawn wings is good
agree
@mighty stump tofuuuu whats the best way to like stay fresh during the off season
since obv i not goin to worlds this yr
I'm not dismissing the fusions, I'm wondering why someone would think base necrozma could beat the turtle
omg its actually going well
also i don't think 5 Shots of Espresso will make cleanse from this team
cool
hopefully i dont flop
true
Meanwhile me with Terapagos
with one singular team?
well the other teams make me fall back to 1000
So technically yes
why not just make new accounts for a fresh run on a singular team
i mean,i have my TorrentAegisVGC Account
i have like 20 atp lol
LMAO
the one im using rn is called "groudonotot"
also i might as well send someone's Terapagos Burnt team
wtf they done to Terapagos
Like what have they done
And Tatsu set is suppose to be with A Final Gambit Ape-
heck even an explosion mon wouldve worked
EXACTLY
also Terapagos looks like a Harmless Turtle with this set
Not good
oh yeah btw, whats ur pagos cres team look like?
someone say Calm Mind Terapagos is not good
the New One or the Old one?
new

although i actually agree specs pagos is better
Ik but Calm Mind is still not bad
FINALLY I AM NOT ALONE
we win these
this was a friendly btw
noice
hows the team looking btw
wait lmao i didnt even notice the name
oh but i still think specs would be better for ur team it looks decent

This team is just I don't give a fuck to Calyrex moment
yeah and my groudon MU into pagos sucks
cant even tera heat crash
have to rely and precimiss blades
yeah and Chi Yu just almost one shots Groudon
good think i added wake and flutter
wake has been cooking
helps with mirror and 2 booster speed is fantastic
its a strong Mon against me
and quad resist kyogre
well if i did not bring Cress
Fire, Water
Steel
Bug, Dark, Electric, Fighting, Flying, Ghost, Grass, Ground, Ice, Normal, Poison, Psychic, Rock, Stellar
Dragon, Fairy
yeah its pain for Kyogre teams
and sash torn pairs well with literally every mon on my team
bleakwind that actually hits for more than opponent wants
Thunder Wave from Cresselia actually recommended by Tofu and That Tornadus is Drago's
so yeah kinda they are also in the team lol
so yeah Tofu and Drago kinda indirectly made this team real
true its hard to defend against it
i have never sat at a desk for so long thinking of wtf to add to make AV groudon work
what i need to work on most is rilla placement, taunt is needed for grimsnarl
fair enough
its hard to think about it
What did I do?
but luckily entei hit the criteria, funny thing is its the entei set i replaced for the lugia team
you trade me the torn
technically The Cresselia thought is kinda comes from a Character from Xenoblade when i looked at her art lol
lmao it wasnt the lunar blessing and insane bulk?
Psychic
Levitate
120/70/110/75/120/85
580
thats the second part
Oh ok
if this groudon team takes me to 1500 with 65% GXE or more ill make a rental
I mean the ribbons does make me think of Cresselia a bit
cant wait for DA groudon
hm a bit

and she is a healer blade in Xenoblade 2 so yeah i named my Cresselia Haze
even tho Cresselia does not learn that move lmao
Body Slam, Facade, Frustration, Fury Cutter, Giga Impact, Natural Gift, Psycho Cut, Return, Secret Power, Slash, Zen Headbutt
Aurora Beam, Charge Beam, Confusion, Dazzling Gleam, Dream Eater, Energy Ball, Expanding Force, Future Sight, Grass Knot, Hidden Power, Hyper Beam, Ice Beam, Icy Wind, Moonblast, Mud-Slap, Power Gem, Psybeam, Psychic, Psyshock, Round, Shadow Ball, Signal Beam, Snore, Solar Beam, Stored Power, Swift, Tera Blast, Thunder, Thunderbolt
Ally Switch, Attract, Calm Mind, Captivate, Confide, Confuse Ray, Double Team, Endure, Flash, Gravity, Guard Swap, Helping Hand, Light Screen, Lunar Blessing, Lunar Dance, Magic Coat, Magic Room, Mist, Moonlight, Power Swap, Protect, Psych Up, Psychic Terrain, Psycho Shift, Rain Dance, Recycle, Reflect, Rest, Safeguard, Scary Face, Skill Swap, Sleep Talk, Substitute, Sunny Day, Swagger, Telekinesis, Thunder Wave, Toxic, Trick, Trick Room
A move displayed with Bold text benefits from Same-Type Attack Bonus when used by Cresselia.
mist seems close enough
yeah Mist Means Kasumi in Japanese
And Haze's Name in Japanese is Kasumi
so yeah
and Terapagos's Nickname is also Xenoblade reference lol
Off season? Do random events
Like team draft leagues and such
oh yeah how long do regulations usually last
Its nice to have something with enough pressure to keep you motivated to put in work while not having to actually do metagaming
do pastes not show nicknames?
3 months?
well it does,i am just lazy
thats too fast 😭
https://pokepast.es/2278752390585380
Also here's the team with Nicknames
is that the person in ur pfp?
Yeah the Ultimate Aegis of Light
Basically Pneuma is just Human Version of Terapagos in Vibes
Pneuma Means Spirit in Greek
Thats Pneumonia
also unrelated but || gojo is in fact not back
||
F
yeah very similar words
I mean Pneuma in Xenoblade 2 can control all Elements and they are also found in some sort Of Dungeon
so some kind of elemental master of elements? 
Well Yeah
She is the Fusion form of Pyra and Mythra (Basically the Base and Terastal Form of Terapagos be like)
so some sort of fusion dragon
they are human-
Well God's Children
im just tryna make it make sense from a certain show
like garmadon and wu?
fairr
you can say that
Pneuma is Pyra and Mythra's ascended form. She is the combined true form of Pyra and Mythra, merging both of their personalities into one.
As the embodiment of the true power of the Aegis, Pneuma is capable of rewriting the physical rules of her surroundings, resulting in all type of feats, from light-speed movement to slowing down time itself.
And what does Terapagos did in the Crystal Pool?
i forgot 
Send The Real Professors to present day
so both can do time travel shit
yeah thats why i name it Pneuma,but it would be better if its Female
wait pagos is genderless right?
Normal
Tera Shell
95/95/110/105/110/85
600
16kg (40 BP)
0.3m
Generation 9
Terapagos
Undiscovered
M: 50%, F: 50%
This Pokémon only appears in battle.
Blue
wait what
its 50 50 gender ratio
thats why i want it to be female so it makes a little bit more sense why i name it Pneuma
huh they dont usually do that for legends
i think ill end my compet for the day here, on a good note
Ogerpon,Genies,The Doggos in Pokedex Entries
Loyal 3
ik but 50/50? the others have a set gender no?
Poison/Fighting
Toxic Chain, Guard Dog (Hidden)
88/128/115/58/86/80
555
92kg (80 BP)
1.8m
Generation 9
Undiscovered
M: 100%
Black
yeah
its 100% male always ni Indigo Disk
oh
yeah
how come though
idk story plot?
Terapagos is a normal species that just like, extincted right?
I thought it’s the source of Tera energy in general
yeah the seisemic event make it extinct
except for one.
Oh that’s news to me
Groudon's fault
Yep the name of my team is now even more make sense now lol
me after getting crit AND flinched two times in a row
It’s getting late now so ima head off, cya guys later
see ya
Yeah shit happens
naming my team Fuck Calyrex and Groudon Team is more funnier now
Hehehehe Calyrex Shadow
Btw
Speaking of CSR
https://www.smogon.com/stats/2024-04/gen9vgc2024reggbo3-1760.txt
CSR still reigning 21% usage in high elo bo3 ladder
kek
huh
Miraidon actually on 4% of teams only
I think people cannot overcome the single formula which makes it easy to prep for
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2024regg-2129276452-v23g6orot4qryjhs4m3raqhrk88yyhepw
weird ice shard tech
Watch a replay of a Pokémon battle between ayofuego and besomewherere! Format: [Gen 9] VGC 2024 Reg G; Date: May 24, 2024

Poetic of the Fire Starter is No.1
And Another Fire Starter is Last in usage
yea i think its gna have to adapt if it wants to remain relevant
its still really strong
nd will roll over teams/players that dont respect it
but i think its partial surprise factor of what it did well has now been adjusted too by a lot
i still respect Caly S,is just my team is built kinda for this occasion
ive played plenty of turtle teams too haha
especially if ur cm id just dunk on u
i think thats the bad thing for me lol
idt its bad per say, i think a lot of ppl just play cm too linear
which makes it predictable
I mean, true,i just wanna try a different approach on CM Terapagos
nd my team is generally jus geared towards steamrolling so cm usually isnt the best way to counter that cuz imma jus out damage u
atleast from my experience. specs usually is more annoying cuz its immediate pressure
but thats just into my team specifically also
i just don't like how that makes Terapagos forfeit so many Bulk but i get you
CM CSR >>>>
prolly lol
i like lo for bo1 tho
nd for this comp cm doesnt make much sense
i kinda just try to do shit
lol
CM turtle still fits my style more so yeah i kinda wanna stick it untill something different
always good to try other styles out
might be hindering urself w/o even realizing
yeah i tried Specs before
i gta try atleast 1 other team before this month ends lmao
i meant like not turtle haha but yea thats something. i feel like u kinda bailed onnit fast tho
also with Specs being around i think People would kinda let off guard on CMs
but then again like you said
its linear to play
idt it has to be, should be an option instead of the default or dont always lead it
i think if ppl subvert what the tendencies are it isnt bad
yeah true...
but most ppl dont
i have too many Lead combinations lol
Cresselia Tornadus,Terapagos Tornadus,Tornadus Urshifu,Chi Yu Amoonguss,Chi Yu Terapagos,Cresselia Amoonguss,Amoonguss Terapagos
Yeah thats a few i did
atleast u a mix it up a bit
the funniest one is Terapagos Urshifu lol
i think i lead it once before
but yeah i usually train on Placements,strats and Adapting the situation
I'm just realizing, are Dialga and Palkia's crystals just straight up always better than the orbs?
I didn't realize they were held items since in PLA there aren't held items
yeah After PLA and in SV
I kinda hate it when there are just straight up upgrades of other items like that
well its a form Changing Item thaat basically does what it does,but i don't complain
Like I get they'd probably be broken if they weren't held items, but still, they're basically just the orbs but better
Why even have the orbs at that point?
they are in Gens 4-8
and if you don't want to use the Crystals and Globe you can use it for Altered form stuff
Yeah, I know it's because the orbs already existed, but functionally there isn't any point to them since you get the form crystals at the exact same time in SV
the Orb version can make you play Altered with the boost but not the form change
but eh i would not complain it honestly
1 CM = Specs
Id almost say, why not go Tera Starstorm + Hyper Beam
I just want that SpD against Miraidon-
but then again it 1 Hit KOs with EP anyway-
You know whats still a crazy concept to me
252 SpA Venusaur Earth Power vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Miraidon: 78-92 (44.3 - 52.2%) -- 16% chance to 2HKO
and Venusaur resist Electro Drift with Good Bulk as well,so yeah it can land at least Earth Power without sun
252 SpA Choice Specs Hadron Engine Miraidon Electro Drift vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Venusaur in Electric Terrain: 114-135 (73.5 - 87%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Damn

What's the point of playing Altered over Origin outside of some niche Smogon tier?
If you're talking about singles I think it's probably because of the item
Wait LMAO

hoi nova
haii
how’s the cresspagos team going?
pretty good now
If youre asking about why would you want the regular vs Origin forms, its about access to a held item
Terapagos is pretty good, I just think it kinda gets countered by any wide guard user
To be more exact it's "why would you use the orb over the crystal"
Since it’s main damage is tera starstorm
Also wrong since you don’t need to Tera to pick up KOs
Tera Starstorm does more damage pre Tera
I know Bc of the 0.75 multiplier
But most terapagos users I fight instantly Tera
What is even the moveset in it?
Terra starstorm, calm mind, rock polish, (any coverage move)
Tera Starstorm/EP/CM/Protect or Startstorm/Hyper Beam/Dark Pulse/Sleep Talk or EP for Specs
Poor piloting isn’t a testament to the mon’s performance
Some people aren’t very bright
ahem
those are dumber than i expected
normal Tera Starstorm is just better for focusing damage
need like friends for it
im scared of people
huh
Just gotta jump into it
So max speed 
Welp ig I'm retiring Torn
Whimsicott it is
Ig we just run max spA max spid sashed Whimsicott with ghost tera?
God home won't load again
Nvm it did
https://pokepast.es/dfa06649764f08e6
(double battle)
im not sure if i want ogerpon to be offensive or support .....
Why not both
so i just go with
Ivy Cudgel
Horn Leech
Spiky Shield
Helping Hand
i was thinking about Follow me
and EVs .......... should i just Max speed and + a bit defense+sp defense?
U don’t need helping hand, follow me is better for redirection from miraidon
Speed should be 188 jolly to outspeed landorus incarnate, I don’t think it had to be higher unless for mirror MUs
idk how relevant the jolly 188 is now that lando I pick rates have dropped significantly
and also ur running koal id even just drop waterpon and go rockpon
rockpon is just more consistent in ur team
handles fire type still and can go max max and isnt tera hog
Imo. Ogerpon should honestly just be max max
sturdy follow me also ensures TR, but tbf idk how id feel with the TR solely being in sinistcha
Unless you REALLY need to live something
i want a trick room sweeper here just in case
attack n speed ?
Maybe not wellspring but with hearth and corner I think max max is just fine, yes attack and speed
i just dont like koal is specs --> means tthat u kinda want it in TR and play through it. but also u dont really have a way to set it up
Max att max speed jolly
and even like if u do set it like u need one of the mons to be dead to get koal in for eruption
by then they can stall 2 turns easily
ohhhhhhhhhhh
I’m messing with Hearthflame with focus energy as a way to beat zamazenta
As zama is a menace
And hard to take out
thats a really good point
id even be more inclined to be like eruption heatwave helping hand protect charcoal torkoal or like eruption heatwave EP protect
but like koal there is in weird spot tbf
and same as sinistcha
how
if u really want to have TR set, you can run like fari also to have like some sort of prio stop
Ah, I don’t like ting Lu on that team ngl
sinistcha doesnt provide anything? idk thats how i feel
i kinda wanna mess around with CA ironhands haha
CA iron hands + CC
thats just beeg damage
Fr
with fari you can even do like fari IH to stop incin + something
and set TR where IH can still play in it
I think cc can just kill incin
then if its dead koal is in
yeah i mean like if theres fari, no FO to IH
forcing it to tera or do something else
which probably be WoW or parting
anyway thats what i feel anyway, take my word with a grain of salt
gl
i will adjust it . thanks a lot
u provided some good points .

oh i think i dont really hate sinistcha IH?
but thats also when i met a set up IH
like swords dance or Belly drum then sinistcha in
like IH doesnt really like fairy and ground and i think sinistcha can handle it quite well
amoonguss provides a similar support tho, but it doesnt have TR and no heal on switchin
just better typing
I like Sinistcha
hoi
Gamefreak about to make the most op type have a trash Mon in plaza 🔥🔥🔥
Fairy ground 😭
Hi torrent
hoi
Bug grass is a pretty good typing too
What are we cooking with today chat 🔥🔥🔥
How have you been?
Helloing Mr Kitty Husband
I’ve been good staying busy with work and doing some cybersecurity certifications bc I’m tired of dealing with the general public lmfao
Hello monke LMAO pls I love that meme
Truly a magnificent one
Truly splendid
Wait you are trying to do cyber security now?
Yes I want to make more money
I need a back yard for Entei and I need to vacation more !!
Just started a couple weeks ago haven’t kept up with vgc at all
Bro same
Walmart hasn't been awful though
SURPRISINGLY
Oh your cat's in trouble sir
Ghost tera is valuable
Doggy threatens it
I'm sorry to break the news
I love the dog, it so fat and tanky
So adorable 
😦
Only one dog I love
Loool
Yeah honestly just throw a stack of Chuck E Cheese tokens at me and I'll be done for
FUCK GHOLDENGO
SPLENDID LMAO
Lurking
Thought I wouldn't notice huh 
Naw just decided to come in here and saw you complaining about the string cheese man
Figured you could use a pretzel
Y'know what sure

HEY NOW
You're an All Star
SOMEBODY ONCE TOLD ME THE WORLD
How do you consider one of the worst Types in the game GOod
wtaf is this
Once again make the Shrekidi toilet
The toilet that don't do the skibidi thing, but instead it times your shit perfectly so you can recreate the Shrek scene
idfk
At this point, it's not the worst thing I've seen
Wait
@mighty stump I heard they put the Red Orb in the game
WHAT
another one 

singles players 🔥 🔥
is there link for meta pokemons?
Rest in (eternal) peace Doge, you will never be forgotten
Also hello Comp Chat
What, like usage stats? Munchstats
more like tierlist or meta what is good and such 
60 turns per game 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Usage stats are far more objective.
Munchstats is basically a tierlist of meta, (usage)
And potential sets they run
ooh i see
time to plan my lucario team then 
cuz im gonna have intereersting team in mind
If you plan on getting into competitive i'd temper your expectations about using non-meta pokemon/favourites.
Realistically something like Lucario is gonna have a sheer uphill battle in usage.
Hey I looked
For some reason, I just randomly have a new view on my Comfey Ape team report lmao
You'll find little to no success with it, unless you're a very good pilot.
thats why its only pokemon i probs gonna use while building around
Rest in Peace
idek
pfft
Hey so remember how we were talking about Tera Dragon Rillaboom winning Santiago?
The runner up had Tera Water Raging Bolt
I told you, I put in the work to get good enough to run whatever I want and play how I want
Most people don't do the former.
uhuh
Also the Santiago finals mirror was both IDBP Zamazenta so pog
If I keep my new 6th mon on the indie team I’ll become a villain lmao
Why are you running Smeargle
hoi Keanu
This is actually the counter Keanu was talking about right
He's running Ditto to get a 2nd Zamazenta
Hmm do I become reg gs villain or do I just run the team
I ended up getting sick so I couldn’t cook a new team tbh
"What's worse than one Zamazenta. I KNOW, TWO ZAMAZENTA!"
drops at 0-3
Terapagos Players:
I wouldn’t drop at 0-3 I could still go 6-3 from there
I need the points lol
Yeah Monke we;re not talking about you
WOW
pfft
gg
this is the best animation pokemon has made
You know what i am thinking rn? That Annihilape can ||OHKO|| Zamazenta with Final Gambit, might be a great counter and a great intimidate deterrent for Non-Amulet restricteds that are Physical
Why did you even spoiler that
eh idk Final Gambit is kinda risky to play
Forbidden words Zamazenta players hate seeing
OHKO Zamazenta
cough cough Protect
Still does great work, if supports try to redirect it most of them explode when they get hit by Final Gambit
And Ape walls Body Press
With Bulk Up can tank Behemoth Bashes well
final gambit is so cheap
So even non-gambit apes can do great against Zama
might as well use a stall team
Assuming they are Bulk Up
For me to one shot a member with Ape
those are infinetly Worse
i just dont think its fun to run final gambit
I see we're still using pointless terms like cheap
You risk OHKO'ing one of your pokemon
i rather use Final Gambit than Stall teams
It isn't cheap, its very risky
You're a pointless term ha got em
But rewards you for piloting it right (Example: OHKO'ing a restricted when you still have one to get a theoretical advantage)
Spoken like a true low elo player
That's right
Gotta represent
at least you can recover on Being Final Gambited
But Stall is just I need to get my eyes washed
And it has 1 more HP point than Amoonguss, the Shroom menace
is it Max HP?
Ape has 115 HP
we just gonna not talk about breloom 😔
fair
And it OHKO's a good chunk of restricteds too
Koraidon Miraidon Zama Zacian CSR CIR to name a few
I excluded it because you can save yourself with a tera
so basically, annihilape just uses gambit while scarfed?
And it also OHKO's Mewtwo Ho-Oh Lugia Kyogre Groudon Rayquaza Dialga Palkia Zekrom Reshiram
Yes
I run Jolly to outspeed CSR
Poison/Dragon
Pressure
140/85/95/145/95/130
690
Eternatus-Eternamax
Not etern
yeah the only ones can survive is Eternatus and Terapagos
I don't think it can OHKO Lunala Solgaleo DW/DM Necrozma Giratina and Kyurems
its so nice
its only great when its Meteor Beam Power Herb
Dragon/Ice
Teravolt
125/170/100/120/90/95
700
Kyurem
yeah i run that set
DW DM are 97 HP
By 10 HP
Ah right
ok you aren't dead yet
Keep it that way
wdym im not dead yet
Run Stall Eternatus -> Everyone dislikes you -> You win a good chunk of battles -> Profit?
Because nobody likes Eternatus TOxic Stall
i didnt even know eternatus runs stall
cough cough Cosmic Power cough cough
Toxic Stall is basically playing Singles but even worse
but then again,Taunt is viable here
PP Stall + Toxic Stall
yep
And you can't OHKO it with Final Gambit Ape which is also bad
nothing that Palkia Crit team can't do
not crit
crit ignores stat changes
oh
Crephace and Leo realizing that their main is good against an infamous stall mon:
spacial rend scope lens focus energy?
exactly.
Dragon Cheer:HELLO???
i forgot that move exsisted
still
i like to run wp dusk mane tr set
I have a new idea that might be bad: Jugulis Zekrom, strictly worse than Miraidon Jugulis
i mean one of them needs to set up to be a nuke and one of them is just NUKE central
zekrom is just a downgrade from miraidon 😭
Won't stop me from using it
more like Miraidon is an Upgrade From Zekrom,but i mean its still a restricted that is underrated
same as Dawn Wings Necrozma which i see its Potential
Atleast it isn't terrain reliant and ddance helps the speed issue and outspeed CSR without the need of tailwind or speeed control outside of ddance
And then Miraidon is better in every other way
Except Design and Lore
but it's type sucks
ok design wise is kinda controversial
Dawn Wings 🤝 Zekrom
2 pokemon that have another pokemon who is an upgrade (lunala and Miraidon) with the same typing
Nothing that Prism Armor/Shadow Shield can't save the Lunala Forms, Plus both of the are respectiblely Tanky
So does Lunala and CSR but those have success
you can run a very tanky Lunala meteor Beam set and you still good
csr should be left out of this
Still better than NDW
ok now thats just selective ignoring
its literally ag
https://pokepast.es/f72ace45543aac2b Also this team explains why i thought of Annihilape Final Gambit
True
Caly Shadow always Run Sash for fuck sake
But singles and Doubles have big differences
you still talking about In Smogon terms?
Incineroar is trash and Great Tusk is very good
both terms
And Landorus Therian is very good in both
and incarnate is pretty decent
only VGC terms are valid here and we can see Caly S although being great,its not in Big 4
there is no smogon channel tho
its just comp
Fair Point but i only play UU so i can't comment on OU or Uber atm
And most here don't even play singles
we mostly play doubles here
I also hate OU
i mean i play doubles too
And no its not because of Gholdengo
and yes Tofu and most of us also confirms that Miraidon,Caly Ice,Terapagos and Zamazenta are Big 4
Calyrex Shadow is at least top 10 in 6th-8th
CSR can kick our asses when we don't prepare as much as we do rn
usage is not but the quality
Usage barely matters
My team is technically built for Denying The Horses
As long as i have Incineroar, Amoonguss and a way to outspeed CSR then i am OK against both
I finished my last day of school and made ur out the hood
Anyways I need help on my team
Which one?
https://pokepast.es/2278752390585380
I kinda changed a bit on mine
You sure hate Calyrex, i can't blame you i still have a huge amount of PTSD from CIR
Even when prepared CIR is just annoying to face
also Chi Yu can One shot Groudon so thats why i put it as well
I don't have all this fancy pokepaste stuff but there's no way u need evs to help me pick some team members
EV's can screw over several pokemon, we do most of the time
I'll put a pic of it up rn pet me take one now
Caly shadow is the classic caly shadow ev spread
Torn is max speed and hp
Indeedee is the max hp and def
And rilla is like 252 attack and then like 125 into def and speed
Max Speed and HP is kinda weird but i can let that slide
this is a no-
Rillaboom sure there are Max Attack Variants
But not like this
First question: Why?
Rillaboom @ Assault Vest
Ability: Grassy Surge
Level: 50
Tera Type: Fire
EVs: 252 HP / 188 Atk / 4 Def / 4 SpD / 60 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Grassy Glide
- Wood Hammer
- Fake Out
- U-turn
This is a better spread
60+ to outspeed max incineroar
Max hp to be a good switch in
Rest dumped on attack to be as offensive at possible with the above
Rillaboom @ Assault Vest
Level: 50
Ability: Grassy Surge
EVs: 244 HP / 116 Atk / 20 Def / 76 SpD / 52 Spe
Tera Type: Fire
Adamant Nature
- Wood Hammer
- Grassy Glide
- U-turn
- Fake Out
Or this for alternative
if you want more Bulk
https://pokepast.es/0ff2792cc0274b89 Did i serve, or did i burn the food?
What shoukd I add next or change
Afnan, feels familiar
wait what
I saw an image, and the trainer was called Afnan
Tofu also susepcting that as well
Also look at this image, if you turn your head vertically then you can see afnan
Keep these for all to witness
How many alts does afnan make, it's up to three now
idk man
Seems like there's a new alt every week
its getting suspcious
And he did the Black Ops 3 confusion, just like Afnan Bezos
And called amoonguss annoying
Like, really annoying
Definitely a troll no matter how much he denies he's a troll
Amongst is a troll
and No About Me descriptions
And you are the troll
I'm not a troll but amlkngus is annoying
Thats all coming together
you even spell it wrong-
No profile pictures ever either
Yeah I don't like profile pics
And Afnan Bezos and you never changed PFPs
Because you're a troll
I'm not a troll
don't deny it
Sorry, thats what we believe
I make alts bc I get banned from servers
Because you troll
maybe thats a skill issue of not behave well
lemme check the list
Because you get yourself in trouble
well i suppose its lots
and its a skill issue
Not so fun fact: I actually got banned in January, i returned because their is an appeal system and i took a break and came back in February
You'd think after getting banned so much you'd get the hint and change your behaviour but no still annoying and trolly
exactly,why would theymake another alt for this then
I can send the link as proof, but in DMs
oh wait,they are the same troll
If you want me to
Let see here: 1. Calling Rain Pain cringe
2. The Bo3 confusion
3. Not taking advice when its been given
4. Being a bit immature
unless the guy is a troll,normally people would just use Ban Appeals
Yeah the rain pain was just me being honset
Afnan Bezos wasn't even banned from here
4th one is kinda meh but most of them are
so why they have new alts for it then
And he deleted the account
I want to send the link to Tofu when he gets online
Creating new accounts just to troll here just like jaysp
To tell him the truth
agree
I will ignore everyone thay trolls, in case its Afnan
And he deleted the screenshot when i saw it
also add one more thing
So, sorry imimim but ik its you
Calling Showdown cringe
I just don't like it
And calling SV amazing and Showdown evil
Spouting some conspiracy theory nonsense about showdown stealing teams
That is incredibly funny
EXACTLY
So, you saw it
Um it was abt showdown stealing the moon not teams
I had them blocked for a while but good to know
I was going to send a link to you telling you about this
But it seems that i dont have to
Competitive Discussion Channel Council be like rn:
See, no one makes the same mistake of Bo3 = Blops
I did the first time on tue other acc
Stealing the moon isn't worth it
But also
You cause more bad than good
Best of 3 = Bo3
Black Ops 3 = BO3
Its different
If they havent done anything banworthy, making an alt is no problem
However, if there is a history, then dodging punishments via alt
And how the fuck are you going to get the moon on the earth?
Is pretty banworthy
By the shrink gun
That doesnt exist
yep that a troll behaviour
Yeah it's a caled a joke
its not funny.
Idk probably but u never know they might be trying to steal the moon u never know
Well, rather than getting in a further argument, I'd encourage not engaging and just blocking on both parties
Sure, why not
I have better stuff to do then argue with a brick wall
Buddy ur profile description is don't dm me
Like buddy no one will dm u anyways ur mot him
No body dms me either tho
Me and Lyco did Dms
I said dont DM me unless i know you or its important
oh yeah Lyco did you saw the adjustments i made
Chi yu Moment
Chi-Yu is a great Calyrex counter and it has decent synergy with Terapagos
But who did you replace for Chi Yu?
Incin
See, Afnan, no need to dispute it further
Logical
.
is just i want some more offense
Can someone help with mu team
For a Terapagos team it does seem very appreciated
yeah if Terapagos dies i can still fight back
I have 3 supports, 1 terapagos and 2 hyper offensive pokemon so that way i still have a chance to win when Pagos faints
same
Urshifu and Chi Yu for Offense,Tornadus,Cresselia and Amoonguss for Support and a turtle boi
And the 3 supports are Grimm Clef and Incin
2 of which can do some good damage (SE if its grimm)
Cresselia is so tanky and Tornadus can deal with nasty stuff
I know this sounds crazy but i don't think protect on Inci is worth it
Wait, we was talking about stealing the moon
Hold up
well not really
its more like only one talk smack about it
Damn
Thought shit was getting interesting
honestly,i don't see Protect Incin lol
turns on front camera to see Gru
And 10000 minions
Fake out and protect are moves that kinda step on each other
Yeah and a fuckton of minions
at least Gru Cares about his Minions
Despicable Me
A fuckin classic
mhm
I keep forgetting to send this
Got it from JPN
Woops Pagos is meant to be Modest
different Tatsu form i see
Terapagos team that just beats Zamazenta
I tried to make the Portland Dozo team with Meteor Beam Terapagos Tofu
Chuppas team I assume
But then again only focus on Zama?
Core 4 has pretty strong MU into a lot of things, particularly since you can outpace with Fake Tears + Terapagos
Do I still have the team
Flutter basically helps out Pagos if need be with Speed Control and Raging Bolt can just close
Fair point
Dondozo is for Zamazenta/Koraidon, the former being the numbre 1 worst MU for Pagos
Lmao I deleted it, it was so bad
I did considered Bolt and Flutter Combo but decide to drop it cuz idfk
It's also still good into CIR as well
Yep
I can't even show the team now
Zamazenta,Koraidon and Caly Ice are worst MU for tortol
i just go with Chi Yu cuz its a fucking nuke
but Dozo i might consider
caly-ice i feel like is at worst a 45/55 for terapagos if not 50/50 or higher
i would debate is kinda on caly's favour in 60/40 but maybe
It honestly feels 50/50
lower than i expected but eh
Now imagine if terapagos could be tera ghost
I think I wanna try using terapagos
I like the little guy
And the hyper beam stuff looks hella funny
Does tera shell work when at full health and behind a substitute?
Yes
Interesting
ok thats funni to do
Remember when orthworm shed tail to dragonite was a thing for a little bit?
yeah
You definetely gave somone an idea
Too bad orthworm and cyclizar are both also weak to fighting
I need to see sceptile without a tail
https://pokepast.es/cd26ee25dca5cc6d
How about this
I thought leftovers + terrain should be just fine
With the protect that's 1/4 hp in 2 turns
Interesting, also Rillaboom is incomplete but i think you know that
0 attack Iv’s on rilla?
Hi
NEVER have that incin set
EVER its so awful
its either knock only or both
Why no protect on incin I run protect
Cresselia for Status Cure and Comfey for Priority Healing,Amoonguss for Redirection and ya knowClefairy for minimize damage
i run Both Cresselia and Amoonguss
Are yall ignoring me
Is aroura veil same damage reduction as light screen and reflt
Yes
People prefer to use that moveslot somewhere else, especially cause Incin has the bulk ot not need it
OTOT, did you know he admitted to be Afnan Bezos?
You know, that guy who deleted his Discord account
Was he here back then
Uh I probably forgot who that is
But why does everyone need to know abt this did everyone hate on this channel or sum
I thought I suggested blocking?
Ok tofu ik u don't like me
There's no reason to engage with people you don't like
Some grey?
lol I can’t see it for some reason
Lol
I don’t think it’s gonna work anytime soon
