[solid frigate]

oh no...

now it decide to hit-

Its gonna TR right-

WAIT

[bold geode]

Aight I'm back from stuff, who's winning

[solid frigate]

not yet

[bold geode]

Well who's in the lead

[solid frigate]

Rillaboom have to carry this-

[solid frigate]

both 3 at piece

[bold geode]

Ah no, now Incineroar

Ope

[solid frigate]

omg the miss-

[bold geode]

MAN

Tofu, get away from his Switch

[foggy lodge]

God

[bold geode]

Who cares about getting another SD up

DAMN

[mighty stump]

PR would have won the game

[solid frigate]

This is so fucking close-

[foggy lodge]

oh my god

[bold geode]

Why are there two ballsy players in top 4

[solid frigate]

idfk

[bold geode]

Tf

[mighty stump]

Guess its Caly mirrors now

[solid frigate]

omg....

[bold geode]

Did he just realize it was Joever?

[solid frigate]

i can't watch this stream anymore-

[molten oasis]

Did Zac get out?

[solid frigate]

Yes.

[molten oasis]

Damn, good run

[foggy lodge]

Still top 4

[mighty stump]

RNG lost the game

[foggy lodge]

And lost because of RNG

[molten oasis]

We love RNGsus

[solid frigate]

basically what Drago be like

[molten oasis]

RNGsus just screws us over all the time

Was it a PR miss?

[solid frigate]

Missing a Play Rough and High Horsepower

[molten oasis]

figured

[solid frigate]

2 HH btw

[molten oasis]

Good run Zac good run

[solid frigate]

yeah i can't watch this stream anymore-

but lets see if Caly S can win it

[molten oasis]

Caly mirror, interesting

[solid frigate]

Semi Caly Mirror but yeah-

[bold geode]

Honse v Honse
Regional streams for NA started with Honse v Honse and will end with Honse v Honse (NAIC ain't a regional)

Poetic

[solid frigate]

Zacian was so close as well

[molten oasis]

It’s ok, 3rd is enough for redemption imo

[torn parrot]

How sad I just caught up

It was close

The play miss was rough

[solid frigate]

it would be so beautiful if both Doggos won a regional

[forest arrow]

I want Ice Honse to take it

[torn parrot]

It would have been indeed beautiful

Gotta say I’m really loving the variety of regional top cuts

[solid frigate]

Seeing both having a redemption with Zama finally get spotlight in Paldea and Zacian overcoming the weakness of the nerf

[molten oasis]

Funny unintentional pun

But yea uh, Zac just has that, and intimidate, as it’s major weaknesses

[solid frigate]

it overcome so far as well

[molten oasis]

You can kinda build to handle steel/fire types

[solid frigate]

Losing Urshifu is kinda the thing

[torn parrot]

Yeah

The real game ender was the fucking high horsepower miss

[bold geode]

Yeah also

1. They brought Incin to Game 3, which didn't matter cuz they predicted with SD turns
2. Did you scarf down your food holy shit

[solid frigate]

this is just sad while the Caly Ice lands all the High Horsepower

ya know what,lets make it have No Guard

totally fair

[torn parrot]

Even with Urshifu special defense I’m surprised all it took was a raw Draco meteor

Oh nvm

Booster energy

[solid frigate]

yep-

painful-

[torn parrot]

Scary

I still respect the zacian guy

[solid frigate]

Honestly i am rooting for Caly S now

Caly I does not need another event

[torn parrot]

The draining kiss setup build seems annoying

[solid frigate]

yeah this could work againt it

[bold geode]

Booster + -2 Spdef as well

[bold geode]

Oh this ain't even the worst one
The other one in top 4 was Covert Cloak

[solid frigate]

[torn parrot]

I’m guessing the covert cloak over clear amulet is for the additional bennifit of blocking fake out after Tera

[solid frigate]

DAMN GOOD PLAY

[torn parrot]

I think my Pokémon break is over soon

[solid frigate]

THIS IS GONNA BE A SLAUGHTER

[bold geode]

Yeah
I fought Tofu and he used it
It's fucking disgusting

Who's winning
My dumbass ain't watching
I'm guessing Caly S

[solid frigate]

Yep

[bold geode]

Welp
Jugulis come back

[solid frigate]

its a fucking +6

i might bring back Incin-

[bold geode]

ITS +6?!

HOLY FUCK

[solid frigate]

Yeah Nasty Plot, A kill on Bolt,A kill on Caly Ice and i think another plot?

[bold geode]

THE CALYREX SHADOW RIDER CYCLE IS COMING BACK

[solid frigate]

welp

[dusty gate]

+6 calyrex kinda does a bit of damage.

[solid frigate]

honestly i would root for Caly Shadow rn

[foggy lodge]

wrong orb my bad

[bold geode]

We didn't prep enough for Calyrex Shadow and now it's back
Plus people finally figured out 2 STABS wasn't it

Well I was gonna drop the Stellar Tera Blast Urshifu but like
Now it's looking like lmao

[solid frigate]

hooo boi

[foggy lodge]

AHHHH

[solid frigate]

Ok Caly S is gonna be insane rn

I will play All Hail Shadow when it won

[fair wraith]

I think i've fully made the best team i possibly can https://pokepast.es/a91c4955265b52ec

[solid frigate]

WHY THIS IS SO CLOSE

[fair wraith]

huh

[solid frigate]

its finals in LA region

[fair wraith]

ohhhhhhh

[solid frigate]

ALL HAIL SHADOW RIDER

[mighty stump]

Lmao

CSR wins

I’d like an apology for all the fraud allegations

[foggy lodge]

Another apology form?

[solid frigate]

All Hail Shadow rider

[foggy lodge]

I'm going to make it

[forest arrow]

Ass

[bold geode]

Well fuck it lemme just fill it out

[solid frigate]

LMAO

welp that give me more reason to make a Calyrex Shadow team

[bold geode]

Time to slap Tera Dark and Dark/Normal types on the team again

[solid frigate]

Lmao

Wait

Terapagos might get Profit from it

[molten oasis]

who won

[solid frigate]

Shadow Rider

[molten oasis]

ah

[solid frigate]

Now i have a good reason to build a team around it

[molten oasis]

the cycle restarts

well ik what im taking off of this

[solid frigate]

and then Terapagos gets more profit

[molten oasis]

GIMME THAT UMBREON

[solid frigate]

i might bring back Incineroar

[mighty stump]

I can already see the complaining even after Zacian hit top 4

[molten oasis]

my complaining? yes

although i need to, not

and just play better

well, no i dont really have any excuse now

[solid frigate]

its funny that Terapagos,Miraidon,Zamazenta and Caly S knocking Caly I down from all 3 Regionals Top Cut

[molten oasis]

i shouldnt complain

[solid frigate]

true

Zacian in Top cut is already a big improvement

[molten oasis]

its like, im complaining and not actually fixing the issue

[solid frigate]

huh

the cycles begins a new

[molten oasis]

https://pokepast.es/69fca02ad20d9128 testing this tomorrow

i have to lock something by wednesday so i have smth to practice with

[smoky hawk]

My boy Montana went all the way. Impressive. He goes to my locals

[solid frigate]

well the cycle restarts back to when people over prep Caly S

[molten oasis]

jsut gotta, keep control, stay calm, and learn how to recover from matches

and not stress

[solid frigate]

LMAO

[bold geode]

THERE WE GO
Alright check this off and check that off.....

[solid frigate]

that +6 is hilarious yet Horrifying

[smoky hawk]

Terapagos underperformed

Draining kiss OHKOing ice rider was a highlight

[solid frigate]

i would say boi might get Stonks back now Caly S would have more team

[molten oasis]

damn, thats nuts

[solid frigate]

rn i am jamming on All Hail Shadow cuz why the heck not

[molten oasis]

literally what happened

[foggy lodge]

I already made mine

[solid frigate]

POV:Calyrex Ice Rider vs Calyrex Shadow Rider be like

https://tenor.com/view/shadow-the-hedgehog-silver-the-hedgehog-sonic-sega-gif-15670995

[zealous badger]

Shadowrider won?

[azure ether]

It was only a matter of time, right

[solid frigate]

i rather Caly S won over Caly Ice

wait

dawn wings Entei feels Lit

[whole ibex]

Great

Shadow Rider won a Regional

[solid frigate]

personally i rather it won rather than Caly I

[whole ibex]

Good on the player but I was in the middle of using Skeledirge

[solid frigate]

huh

[whole ibex]

Shadow rider stocks are gonna go up

[solid frigate]

So does Terapagos cuz of Natural Typing Immune to Astral Barrage

[whole ibex]

I mean Terapagos could be a nice restricted to pair Skele

[forest arrow]

Chandelure tho

[whole ibex]

It just gonna feel weird using it

[solid frigate]

i don't feel it works but like sure

[whole ibex]

I was talking about Terapagos

[solid frigate]

exactly what i said about

i rather using Chi Yu cuz it helps on boosting Terapagos's Damage Output

Plus I just feel its more natural to run Scarf Chi Yu

[whole ibex]

Yeah for sure

[solid frigate]

https://pokepast.es/2c71dfd01f5f16c1

Yeah i kinda did not change yet

[forest arrow]

New pfp

Tough

[solid frigate]

It looks sick as hell

I might do the same but idk

[foggy lodge]

I don't know if i already posted it but here's my tier list of restricteds

imo Miraidon is A borderline S

I just wanted to have 4 on each tier but yeah, Miraidon is almost S tier

[solid frigate]

hmmmmmm look kinda interesting

i just changed Caly S placement higher than Koraidon

i might put Zacian Higher

[foggy lodge]

i should make a tier list of the non restricted Pokémon

[solid frigate]

Thats like

[foggy lodge]

Yesss please

Zacian is the 9th restricted imo

Maybe top 8

[solid frigate]

higher than Lunala in my Opinion after this Regional

[foggy lodge]

Yeah

Zama and Zacian uncrowned aren't that bad

[solid frigate]

also Andrew Zheng Got Karma'd by betraying the Turtle

[foggy lodge]

If we ignore the fact that the crowned forms exist it's not so bad

Zamazenta could run leftovers and Zacian Clear Amulet

[solid frigate]

true

[solid frigate]

but like nobody would use it

Andrew Zheng:Did not make it to Day 2 with Lunala after Betraying Terapagos

Me:Happi noises

[molten oasis]

yes they are lmao

they are not worth running as your restricted

[solid frigate]

gonna put Zacian Crowned at top 8 now

[molten oasis]

i saw

[solid frigate]

why tf Groudon is still used even more than Lunala

they aren't using Gravity-

[molten oasis]

groudon copium

[forest arrow]

Imma start playing Lunala

[molten oasis]

you gonna stick with lunala?

[forest arrow]

I’ve been honse train all reg

Yeah I really liked Andrew’s team

[molten oasis]

tbh

i just think ice rider is really boring

its good, just, not fun

[forest arrow]

it got boring fast

[molten oasis]

zacian doesnt get boring to me

[solid frigate]

Groudon just why

[molten oasis]

especailly when i go click the funny tera blast button

[solid frigate]

He technically got Karma'd-

[molten oasis]

i am mini terapagos, i punish your tera's

[solid frigate]

Terapagos might gain profit if Shadow Rider won

[molten oasis]

its still top 3

and i still think ice rider is better

[solid frigate]

Terapagos basically non existent in LA-

only 9% is kinda small

[molten oasis]

probably because of zama

[torn parrot]

Yayy

[solid frigate]

i kinda wanna see More Tortol

[torn parrot]

I did my monthly masterball run I feel good

Might climbs later on before season ends

[solid frigate]

noice

[molten oasis]

nice, with what

[solid frigate]

i am still coping on Andrew Zheng's Sweatshirt

[molten oasis]

did it bully terapagos

[solid frigate]

bro had the audacity to say Terapagos Mid-

[molten oasis]

lmfao

balls of steel

[solid frigate]

when is his fault for not sending Amoonguss in G3

[molten oasis]

he lost to a terapagos too?

[solid frigate]

do not blame your Pokemon,blame your Plays

[solid frigate]

remember Indy-

[molten oasis]

oh, right

[torn parrot]

My zamazenta team
It was pretty smooth

I’ll probably climb the ladder and try to rank high with it before next month or I’ll chill and not do that and draw art

[molten oasis]

nice

[solid frigate]

dude Terapagos aain't mid and i am stand by to this point

[foggy lodge]

Someone has a tier list of all fully evolved Pokémon post DLC?

[molten oasis]

its not

[foggy lodge]

Terapagos is one of the best resticteds

You really think the 35 dollars restricted is bad?

Lmao

[solid frigate]

well tell that to Andrew Zheng

[foggy lodge]

Cap

[solid frigate]

i am still livid

[molten oasis]

the restricteds you have to buy are just strong lol

even the legendaries you can buy are strong

[solid frigate]

Terapagos is just a well Balanced DLC Legendary compare to Calyrex

like i am not joking

[forest arrow]

I don’t think it’s mid

But I still want the hoodie lol

[solid frigate]

but what Terapagos Excels is Versatility

[foggy lodge]

Andrew:

[molten oasis]

ehhh

[solid frigate]

erase the mid part

[molten oasis]

we really calling terapagos versatile?

just didn't think of it that way

[foggy lodge]

uhhh

[foggy lodge]

If i had to talk about it's set

imo it's best set is just Choice specs

[molten oasis]

it has specs sets and cm cloak sets

[solid frigate]

kinda seeing VGC Pokemon Spotlight Terapagos got 3 sets

[forest arrow]

Rock polish set too

[solid frigate]

Power Herb is also Mentioned

[molten oasis]

dont remind me of rock polish sets

[foggy lodge]

CM is good but i see maybe it could be win something like a local, but more than day 2 in a regional i don't see it

[solid frigate]

that can throw them out of the window

[forest arrow]

Lolll

Just had to mention

[foggy lodge]

Uhhh power herb is good

[solid frigate]

it makes it suffer on 4 move syndrome even more

[foggy lodge]

choice specs is it's best set and meteor herb is an option if you want more versatility, like protect

[forest arrow]

Yeah I think it’s an unnecessary set

[solid frigate]

agree until i actually used it along with Calm Mind

[molten oasis]

252+ SpA Choice Specs Terapagos-Terastal Tera Starstorm vs. 244 HP / 148 SpD Umbreon: 103-123 (51.2 - 61.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO i was curious, thats funny

[solid frigate]

Turtle go brrrrr

[molten oasis]

252+ SpA Choice Specs Tera-Stellar Terapagos-Stellar Tera Starstorm vs. 244 HP / 148 SpD Umbreon: 72-85 (35.8 - 42.2%) -- guaranteed 3HKO

[foggy lodge]

Umbreon is so good man

But people use it wrong

I've faced a lot of Umbreon on ladder

[solid frigate]

but able two shot an Umbreon is Impressive

[foggy lodge]

why tf they run toxic

[molten oasis]

im excited to give it a shot

[solid frigate]

normally is hard to kill Umbreon

[foggy lodge]

The Zacian guy's Umbreon was really good

[solid frigate]

agreed

[molten oasis]

ok, that, its specs

[solid frigate]

its basically a +1 right in the bag

[molten oasis]

i was impressed it didn't do more than that

From the special side yeah

[molten oasis]

its bulkier than incin

[foggy lodge]

But Inci has intimidate so it normally feels bulkier than Umbreon on that side

[molten oasis]

im throwing CA into the mix when talking about incin

theres A LOT of that rn

[solid frigate]

yeah

[foggy lodge]

I feel like the Zacian guy maybe had some help of the regional being more HO because wtf is that Inci usage

[solid frigate]

i might need to reuse my Old Team for Caly S or i can fuse both of them at the same time

https://pokepast.es/991127c05e4644d4 (Old)
https://pokepast.es/2c71dfd01f5f16c1 (New)

[molten oasis]

oh did peli fall off the board? thats funny

[solid frigate]

[molten oasis]

eh, he had tools to handle it

and he was SD Zacian

you can still hit it

[solid frigate]

https://pokepast.es/eb109007b0f7d555

Does this Fused team work?

[molten oasis]

high horse on rilla if youre going tera ground

[solid frigate]

and Might Change Grimmsnarl with T-Wave

[molten oasis]

tera ghost chi yu

[solid frigate]

got it

would you want me to use Torn or Incin

[molten oasis]

its more up to what you need

[solid frigate]

both do different things...

i guess another speed control would not hurt

https://pokepast.es/a077859094d99db7

done

[molten oasis]

sure

id go parting shot grimm but that should be fine

[solid frigate]

yeah since i don't have Incin anymore so i'll stick with Grimmsnarl being the one

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2024regg-2131248361

[molten oasis]

well, have fun with that team

[solid frigate]

that replay is just Torn Shifu moment

[mighty stump]

I tallied it

Across all of my games I played

I have a 40% Sleep Powder accuracy rate

hybrid Tailroom is hard to play

and did he just spam Starstorm-

[dull ibex]

[solid frigate]

thats rookie mistake-

[dull ibex]

you need alot of set up to do that

[molten oasis]

"skill"

[solid frigate]

yep i don't know wtf happen to that team

[sharp cobalt]

[mighty stump]

@dusk mist First, #rental_teams isn't for messaging. Second, just rent it. The code is right there.

[timber falcon]

in a 1v1 situation, what would toxapex hate?

[willow vault]

Something it can’t toxic stall, with super effective moves. Maybe like a magnezone

[charred saddle]

hmm

i kinda like koraidon firepon now

firepon helps dealing with fairy types, so i dont have to always tera fire koraidon

also helps against kyogre

also thinking of funny run of trailblaze

but also koraidon rilla firepon is nice for grassy spam

going quite well with a weird set

[timber falcon]

making a singles team is stupidly hard

unlike vgc, i dont even think there are certain MUs u can account for

[willow vault]

Which singles format?

[timber falcon]

nat dex..............

[willow vault]

First step of action would be Landorus-T. It’s probably the best mon in Nat dex, it can hit a ton of meta threats for stab super effective like tapu koko, Heatran, Raging Bolt and iron crown. You will want a way to effectively hit a landorus-T since it is so good into most meta threats. Something like Urshifu-R can work great.

I would also suggest having a tapu of your own, to be able to hit Urshifu that threaten your Landorus. Tapu koko makes a lot of sense for that. I don’t know much else of the format but that should help

[timber falcon]

the problem is i dont think natdex has a meta

every game i see smth comlpletely different

and mons with insane bulk that i cant seem to down

[willow vault]

The additional benefit of being able to hit Landorus-T also allows you to get rid of gliscor which is a key defensive piece

[timber falcon]

i think i will go with shifu then

[willow vault]

Whilst Heatran isn’t perfect it does help into the tapu’s and having a steel type is great with all their resistances

Could also go for corviknight for the same reasoning

[graceful flare]

Why isnt there an intimate for special attackers

[timber falcon]

av?

[willow vault]

Some ovbvious stuff aswell like having a Defog/ rapid spin user and a grounded poison if toxic spikes is common

[timber falcon]

yeah ive been tryna account for things like this, rocks would be really helpful to punish pivot spam, but what would i use to set them up?

[willow vault]

I mean Landorus-T gets both rocks and defog

[timber falcon]

thats the thing, wont defog remove mine too?

[willow vault]

And u-turn to pivot

[dapper crag]

Move: Defog

Lowers the target's evasiveness by 1 stage. If this move is successful and whether or not the target's evasiveness was affected, the effects of Reflect, Light Screen, Aurora Veil, Safeguard, Mist, Spikes, Toxic Spikes, Stealth Rock, and Sticky Web end for the target's side, and the effects of Spikes, Toxic Spikes, Stealth Rock, and Sticky Web end for the user's side. Ignores a target's substitute, although a substitute will still block the lowering of evasiveness. If there is a terrain active and this move is successful, the terrain will be cleared.

im thinking fwg core?

[willow vault]

I mean there are only two rapid spin users in natdex out there, in great risk and iron treads

[willow vault]

Smart

[timber falcon]

so far

swapped meowscarada for venasaur

[willow vault]

this is what I got from like 15 minutes of thinking https://pokepast.es/649dc5c75a51e885

3 Mons that can remove hazards, 2 rock setters. Ferrothorn which is a defensive menace with pelipper protecting it's fire weakness. Urshifu-R does alot of damage in rain. Landorus is Landorus, and tapu lele for great damage into threats. Iron Treads has ice spinner to remove gliscor who otherwise walls it and your landorus

[timber falcon]

https://pokepast.es/ea3ab5c3de379f68 oh this is the direction i went

[willow vault]

This should give you a way to deal with, Landorus-T, Heatran, Gliscor, Urshifu (with Ferrothorn), Dragonite, Zamazenta. Your may find Tapu lele to be a tougher matchup but Tapu-Koko is exremely dangerous against this team if you lose your landorus and treads

[willow vault]

Yeah that team should work well, I don't play NatDex so I may be wrong

Your team also uses Mega which mine doesn't so that helps you alot

[timber falcon]

i also seem to have forgotten z moves

[willow vault]

That's ok

[timber falcon]

i gave lando rockium z just incase

i just got swept by photon geyser necrozma

Maybe having hisuian samurott could help, it still fills the water type role but can also set up spikes with ceaseless blade and hits necrozma

prolly due to missing both maga storms on heatran

[willow vault]

Unfortunate

[timber falcon]

true i might try that

[willow vault]

Ok

next revival blessing spam...........

and a last turn miss with scales

[willow vault]

Yep

It’s natdex your gonna fight a lot of annoying stuff

[sharp cobalt]

Except they're both Zacian

[willow vault]

Oh, idk then

[modern cliff]

You good at making teams?

[willow vault]

Not really

[sharp cobalt]

[modern cliff]

Who can?

[willow vault]

And unfortunately I’m still essay writing

[molten oasis]

...

[sharp cobalt]

[molten oasis]

if you want help with teambuilding i need a paste

[sharp cobalt]

They wanna use..

[modern cliff]

Would anyone help me make a team include Flutter main and out of Kommo-o or Koraidon?

[molten oasis]

there are no koraidon rentals, gimme 1 sec

[modern cliff]

Or the ice dragon

[sharp cobalt]

Baxcalibur? Kyurem?

[modern cliff]

Bax

[mighty stump]

Well there technically will be one soon

[molten oasis]

nice

[molten oasis]

https://pokepast.es/23fdde0cdee766c3 there ya go

its just slapped together, but thats what you could use

oh torn might have the wrong, if it has rain dance give it sunny day

nvm it has sunny day

[modern cliff]

How do you get Tornadus Raging

In the dlc?

[molten oasis]

raging bolt is in the s/v dlc

you can get torn in the swsh dlc or in legends arceus

[modern cliff]

wasnt the timer for raging is up

[molten oasis]

that was walking wake

you can get raging bolt though Perrin in the dlc

indigo disk specifically

[modern cliff]

im only in the main game right now

[molten oasis]

...that makes this significantly harder

[modern cliff]

i think the 7 badge

[molten oasis]

finish the game then

[modern cliff]

What level do you get tornadus?

[graceful flare]

Nahh my opponent had a shiny ursauluna💀

[foggy lodge]

omfg lmao

[timber falcon]

lmao

[timber falcon]

is it worth a mandatory ghost type for rapid spin?

[sharp cobalt]

[willow vault]

Considering their are two rapid spinners in natdex ou, probably not

[timber falcon]

ok

[timber falcon]

this mean u have qualified for worlds right?

[willow vault]

Yeah it does

[dusty gate]

Congratulations!

[timber falcon]

[cyan smelt]

Nice

[sharp cobalt]

KAL0S IS HERE

[cyan smelt]

Just before I go to bed

[sharp cobalt]

Sleep well friend

[cyan smelt]

Thanks

[timber falcon]

how come in singles peole mostly use special attacking valiant

[willow vault]

Intimidate is more prevalent

Also fighting and dark types are incredibly good in singles, so more Pokemon run physical bulk allowing for special attackers to get more value

[willow vault]

hmm, singles has already been more toxic to me in 5 games of NatDex then doubles has in hundreds lmao

using switching moves is illegal or so they say, I guess there iron defense spam didn't work against pelipper

[azure ether]

uhh why does this team's Archaludon have 16 spare EVs?

Why choice scarf when u have tw

[willow vault]

You don’t always want to bring Tornadus and tailwind

[sharp cobalt]

It doesnt get you banned

If it did, my leech seed spam would've been banned LONG ago

[azure ether]

I'll just put the unused EVs into SpD I guess

[willow vault]

Oh I knew that, it was just funny to me. Like I have watched enough singles to know that switching with u-turn is an integral part of singles formats

Im a mono-grass player, what do I really have going for me

[willow vault]

ferrothorn is good atleast

[molten oasis]

he's cooking trust

[bold geode]

You make it?

[modern cliff]

Is a good team Flutter main bax Gilscor gallade inc wellspring OG?

[chrome knot]

what format

[modern cliff]

None

[chrome knot]

then why are you asking here …?

[molten oasis]

Any team works for a playthrough

[modern cliff]

This for a battle

[modern cliff]

Should i do any changes

[molten oasis]

its probably fine

[modern cliff]

i just think that the team dont go well together

[solid frigate]

wait lemme check

I forgot to put them into SpD

[modern cliff]

what changes should i do for the team i said?

[solid frigate]

can i see the paste

[modern cliff]

is a good team Flutter main bax Gilscor gallade inc wellspring OG?

[next stump]

if you're battling a friend, this isn't the right chat to ask for advice in

[modern cliff]

we do competitive battles vs each other im just a bad team builder

[next stump]

check #rental_teams or the pinned messages in here for team ideas

once you have a team, make a pokepaste and send that link in here for advice

[modern cliff]

I have sent the names in here Flutter main bax Gilscor gallade inc wellspring OG

[next stump]

that's great, no one can give good advice based off that

also the current VGC ruleset allows for one restricted legendary, you haven't said what ruleset you're battling with

[modern cliff]

i dont know yet

[next stump]

then come back once you know and have an idea of a team that you want to use for that format

[modern cliff]

What would be a good formet for this team and should i make any changes

[next stump]

when we say format, we mostly mean are you playing single or double battles

[modern cliff]

oh single

[next stump]

none of us here really play single battles, so it'll be tough to find someone who can give team advicer

[modern cliff]

can i do both

[chrome knot]

@next stump thoughts on koraidon goth train?

[bold geode]

Hey Dillon
You make it back from LA safe?

[chrome knot]

& also caly s clef :v

[bold geode]

I'm sorry
But all I can think about with that is a Koraidon going thru a goth phase

[next stump]

koraidon gothitelle crazy team

[sharp cobalt]

Friend

Wait, wrong chat

[molten oasis]

lol

[sharp cobalt]

Although, Monke is friendly

[next stump]

hello 🙂 yes i did

[bold geode]

Lovely

[sharp cobalt]

Yay safety

[bold geode]

I try to be lol
Like it sounds a bit corny to say out loud, but there's a lot of hate out there in the world

I will admit I've been one to hate myself as well
But I try to help people feel even a little better about their days

[autumn vault]

Nah, he isn't

(Joke)

[sharp cobalt]

Same, sometimes I fail though

But thats why I usually try to be friendly, even if I can be a dry know-it-all

[autumn vault]

Thats not corny though, you are telling the truth, its sad but its reality, i always try to make people's day atleast a little better, even if i am in a bad mood and this is coming from someone who has anger issues that lasted for years, i am trying to fix them but my life keeps finding ways to piss me off harder than the last

And someone who has to deal with the Sun at 30-40 degrees walking for 20 minutes without a lot of shade

But what i am trying to say is: Reality isn't kind at all

[sharp cobalt]

It never is

[sharp cobalt]

Id just get tired and die of heat stroke 5 mins in

[molten oasis]

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2024regg-2131539205 lets go we got a good game with the umbreon

[autumn vault]

As you can imagine i get sweat all over my shirt after those walks

[sharp cobalt]

I cant even handle current Dutch summers, they go to 30ish, 37 max

[autumn vault]

The only reason i shower around 14:00/2:00 PM to 15:00/3:00 PM

And not in the night

[modern cliff]

You doing with single battles?

[molten oasis]

doubles

the superior format

[modern cliff]

@molten oasis Would this work in it?

[sharp cobalt]

The Orthworm tried

[molten oasis]

for what singles? idk

[sharp cobalt]

Eeeh, subjective

[modern cliff]

Both

[autumn vault]

Those Snarls helped out a lot

[autumn vault]

Least obsessed VGC fan:

[molten oasis]

bruh i just missed 2 play roughs in a row

im crying

[sharp cobalt]

Oh thats nothing

[autumn vault]

As someone that spams Bolt Strike and Sleep Powder i can relate

[sharp cobalt]

One time, I missed 2 Chloroblasts in a row

the target i missed was iron hands, like how

[autumn vault]

And got crit once and flinched twice

[molten oasis]

zacian, its a robot sumo wrestler

how are you missing

[sharp cobalt]

I used to be known as 'Whitney' cuz my Miltank parahaxed everything

[autumn vault]

Ehh not really

[molten oasis]

dont, just, no

[sharp cobalt]

Do it Lycopoky

[molten oasis]

that wasn't the point

[autumn vault]

Here is something that should happen more: NPCs/Opponents missing Focus Blast more often

[sharp cobalt]

Imho nah

[autumn vault]

I swear they always land it

[sharp cobalt]

Good

[autumn vault]

Especially NPCs

One reason why i hate Ghetsis' Hydreigon

[sharp cobalt]

Imho, NPCs should be hardcoded to always land their attacks

[molten oasis]

4

[sharp cobalt]

They're already bad AI, give em smth

[molten oasis]

ok finally hit a god damn play rough

i missed 4 in a row

[bold geode]

BOY I SAY BOY YOU COULDN'T HIT THE BROAD SIDE OF A BARN WITH THAT BOY

[autumn vault]

People with Focus Blast:

[molten oasis]

play rough hs 90 accuracy

[autumn vault]

Just meming

[molten oasis]

out of the 8 times ive clicked it it shouldnt hit 4 times

[sharp cobalt]

[bold geode]

Bro has hard time seeing
Sword might be in the way

[solid frigate]

UNLIKE SOMEONE

[autumn vault]

Calyrex rider forms?

[solid frigate]

Yep,Kyurem and Necrozma

[autumn vault]

https://pokepast.es/4e4d41bbb5cc2e12 How is this Kyurem-B team?

I want to try it out and i would like some advice

[sharp cobalt]

The advice is: y no Zekrom

[autumn vault]

Sir, thats in a different alt, i cracked the code for Zekrom, now i need to crack the code for Kyurem-Black

When i say crack the code i mean find out what is the best way to play it

[sharp cobalt]

Then sadly Im no use, Im bad vgc player

[autumn vault]

Don't let yourself down Sylriam

[sharp cobalt]

I still wanna finish that team idea I started with Monke tho

[molten oasis]

bad mindset

[autumn vault]

Be optimistic Syl

[sharp cobalt]

But also true

[sharp cobalt]

Pessimistic realism is in my blood

But lets be real, the last time i played VGC was... a year ago? So I technically can't be good as Im out of practice

[molten oasis]

i really like yawn pressure

such a good way to shut down momentum

[sharp cobalt]

I can be good, I just currently am not is realistic, isn't it

[molten oasis]

haven't played a ton of games with it but i think im gonna stick with these 6 and just, learn with the team

its the same 6 as the 4th place at LA but i have different sets

im gonna train these in game and maybe take them to a tour

although i gotta get a torn now lol

[modern cliff]

Well Jangmo work in your settings of battle?

[molten oasis]

kommo-o is fine in vgc

[modern cliff]

How does it do in in it

[molten oasis]

right now its not great

zamazenta is better at its main job, being iron defense body press

clangorus soul/scales stuff isn't very good tho, although you can run about anything that works within reason

in this format

[modern cliff]

How about bax?

[molten oasis]

mm

idk, snow is a weak archetype rn

which is where you'd want to use a bax and at that point you'd run kyurem white

[modern cliff]

What all the main dragon type that are use in that?

[molten oasis]

In snow or the format?

[modern cliff]

format

[molten oasis]

koraidon miraidon raging bolt

[autumn vault]

Baxcalibur isn't that bad but when Kyurem-White exists then idk about it

I would only run Bax if its not in a snow team

Or if it helps with a specific MU

[molten oasis]

What coverage does Bax really offer than something like chien pao doesn’t

Aqua Tail, Crunch, High Horsepower, Iron Head, Stomping tantrum

[molten oasis]

…

[autumn vault]

Most of the time you run Iron Head or HH

[molten oasis]

High horse, every time

Ice ground coverage is really good

[autumn vault]

Thats true

Baxcalibur is just a slightly weaker Kyurem-B imo

With some things that it has over Kyurem-B

[solid frigate]

Yep,just ask Mamoswine

[autumn vault]

But obv i want to experiment Kyurem-B again, this time with a better team

[molten oasis]

Id argue bax is literally just better

Simply because of the okay coverage and terrible physical movepool

And I think thermal exchange is valuable rn with all the wisp incins roaming around

I cannot, play rough missed in swsh

I hate this move lol

[graceful flare]

Is caly ice good enough if its the only trick room mon on the team

[autumn vault]

Although i think the opposite is true i can see the reasons why you believe yours

But barely

Barely worse at all

[mighty stump]

Well the good thing about Baxcalibur is that it doesn't use up a restricted slot

[sharp cobalt]

[autumn vault]

Which is why we use it instead of Kyurem-B most of the time

With how valuable the slot is rn bax is better

[modern cliff]

Zacian i have a question for you?

[modern cliff]

Would you make me a bax team

[timber falcon]

people in singles talk way more than in vgc wow

[autumn vault]

Not experienced with bax, sorry but no

[willow vault]

Yep

[modern cliff]

Do you breed?

[mighty stump]

#breeding_discussion

[autumn vault]

You are asking me too much

Also i only breed 0 speed iv pokemon for tr

And bax is not a tr pokemon

[modern cliff]

yea i got a bax was looking for a starter

[bold geode]

Hey Tofu

[mighty stump]

What do you want.

[bold geode]

To say hi to a person who may go by the name of WoodTofu online

Also to tell you that the Ting Lu child is testing da moose

[timber falcon]

Welp I’ve had my fun with singles (i hate it) might as well try and finish my kyogre team

Which mons would u normally see on one, rain dependant?

And would it be fine to have double water?

[forest arrow]

Kyogre Ursh

Archaludon

Torn

[timber falcon]

I wanna run calm mind

Are I’m assuming those 4 are the main

[mighty stump]

If you're running Kyogre with CM

You run 0 Rain mons

Lol

Maybe Ursh

[timber falcon]

How come

[modern cliff]

How good is duraludon

[mighty stump]

Cause it's just not the build

With Rain mons majority of them you're taking advantage of their strengths in rain to commit to a high pressure team

CM Kyogre teams put their eggs into Kyogre

CM Kyogre also only runs Origin Pulse as its only STAB

2nd move Ice Beam

[timber falcon]

So ice beam and origin?

[modern cliff]

What this team you talking about?

[timber falcon]

And cm and prot

[forest arrow]

Hey Tofu what’s the jolly incin spread

[mighty stump]

The team build is Kyogre/Grimmsnarl/Incin, while the rest of the members can be Rillaboom with Double FO/Cresselia to provide Healing + TR

and you run Lefties on Ogre

[mighty stump]

Max Spe max HP so far

[forest arrow]

Okay sounds good, ty

[timber falcon]

But can it be semi-tr

[mighty stump]

Sorry let me zoom in for you

Cresselia to provide Healing + TR

[sharp cobalt]

[modern cliff]

whos the 6?

[sharp cobalt]

Oger

II think. They mentioned it last.

[timber falcon]

https://tenor.com/view/feel-me-think-about-it-meme-gif-7715402

[mighty stump]

Either you need glasses or you need to read more books

[timber falcon]

Selective reading

Idk why but I tend to read it, yet not read it at the same time

[sharp cobalt]

Yeah same

Like when you're reading something but your eyes move over and you're already reading the next bit and then 'wait I missed smth'

[timber falcon]

Exactly

[sharp cobalt]

I mostly have it with books n articles tho

[timber falcon]

I just have it in general, I remember this one time I thought water wasn’t wet, looked up an explanation and completely missed the part were it dissproved me

[mighty stump]

I still remember that conversation.

[modern cliff]

Can you send me the team?

[mighty stump]

I already gave you the main core.

[sharp cobalt]

What is the explanation?

[modern cliff]

Like the stats and the moves?

[timber falcon]

Water is wet

[autumn vault]

England is full of rain and green

[sharp cobalt]

I like part of England tbh. Filled with pondweed. I'd love a pondweed pokemon

[timber falcon]

Not my proudest of conversations

[sharp cobalt]

It happens to all of us

[autumn vault]

As a slightly smarter but more rude MonkeVGC i can confirm this

Except i don't like Monkeys

While scrolling through OTOT pings from Tofu i am laughing my ass off at this

[sharp cobalt]

Who bit their lip

[timber falcon]

Tofu

[autumn vault]

I feel bad

But its nothing compared to bitting your tongue when chewing

Dont, they'd laugh right back

[timber falcon]

Mfs who have csr as their fave:

[autumn vault]

OH GOD NO

[autumn vault]

MFs who have Calyrex Flutter mane Urshifu Raging Bolt Miraidon Terapagos Incineroar rillaboom as their favourites:

[sharp cobalt]

My top 3 is Jumpluff, Roserade and Froslass. I can bring maybe 1 to actual comp.

[timber falcon]

MorrisPXGs fav:

[sharp cobalt]

Very, very rarely 2.

Jumpluff has been blessed with tailwind this gen though

[timber falcon]

I mean didn’t Wolfe take exeggutor to worlds and got second before?

[autumn vault]

MFs who loves Zamazenta CIR:

[autumn vault]

But it was in a less power crept format

Unlike now

And Exeggutor is very hard to kill without SE moves in sun and sitrus

Just U-Turn it and its gone

[sharp cobalt]

Well, lets be real. Froslass can at best be fast speed control with aveil I think, Jumpluff fcan offer support with rage powder and tailwind so that isnt half-bad, and Roserade is just a bit too slow and a bit too frail to really be of use. Can blow 1 up tho

[solid frigate]

Hoi

In return I’ll for sure try swampert

Best that you don't know

What is the word

I can't say it anyways since i don't want to break any rules

[solid frigate]

i know

[sharp cobalt]

So optimally probs like, Pollen Puff/Tailwind/Rage Powder/Protect/Sleep Powder/Taunt. 4 of these?

[autumn vault]

Tailwind Sleep Powder Pollen Puff Protect

[timber falcon]

It was a joke please don’t do that

[autumn vault]

They are my picks

[sharp cobalt]

Wynaut

[sharp cobalt]

Yeah

[autumn vault]

They seem like the most consistent combo

[timber falcon]

Much to fragile and slow

[solid frigate]

i saw someone run Encore

[autumn vault]

And lets be honest Jumpluff isn't that offensive

[sharp cobalt]

Since when is 110 SLOW

[autumn vault]

Too frail to tank a hit

[timber falcon]

Oh nvm it’s fast enough

[autumn vault]

Which disqualifies rage powder

[dusty gate]

[timber falcon]

OH

[autumn vault]

Hello Lacius

[autumn vault]

With Clorophyll? Super fast

[timber falcon]

I WAS THINKING OF JUGGILY PUFF THE ENTIRE TIME

[sharp cobalt]

What EVs?

[solid frigate]

LMAO

[sharp cobalt]

[autumn vault]

Who the hell would use that?

[dusty gate]

[timber falcon]

Reading comprehension strikes again

[sharp cobalt]

But uhm, what EVs would be used on my dearest Dandy?

[solid frigate]

Koraidon,Miraidon,Chien Pao,Flutter mane,Iron Bundle,Zacian and Calyrex Shadow Rider:Kek

[autumn vault]

Go get better English sir

Or read some books

[sharp cobalt]

Chlorophyll: kek

[timber falcon]

Early reg G I just did max speed and HP, then spam sleep power with wide lens lul

[autumn vault]

https://pokepast.es/ed725f10852a33b3 I cooked this up

[solid frigate]

Unburden:Kek

[sharp cobalt]

Wait Koraidon even speeds Jumpluff

[autumn vault]

I finally figured out Zekrom

[sharp cobalt]

none of those get unburden

[autumn vault]

Who cares about unburden?

[timber falcon]

Results from said meal?

[solid frigate]

i still haven't figured Terapagos-

[autumn vault]

Better than expected

[sharp cobalt]

TorrentAegisVGC

[solid frigate]

Sceptile,Sneasler:

[autumn vault]

Might grind more with my Zekrom alt to really see how good it is

[sharp cobalt]

People run those in VGC?

[autumn vault]

Those aren't that good

[timber falcon]

U should do that

[autumn vault]

Almost never do

[sharp cobalt]

Anyway, max hp max spe?

[timber falcon]

Idk sneasler can be a threat if used properly

[autumn vault]

True but its super frail

[solid frigate]

i saw Some Sceptile Shed Tail Sets and i hate it cuz its not consistent

[sharp cobalt]

Anyway when I make a non-tr vgc team, Jumpluff and Koraidon/Groudon will be in it

[timber falcon]

Wait u only make tr teams?

[sharp cobalt]

Time to shunt myself a Groudon I GUESS

[timber falcon]

I haven’t ever made a successful tr team

[sharp cobalt]

I make no teams, I have a want to make them

[timber falcon]

Ah ok

[timber falcon]

Which method?

[sharp cobalt]

my first ever was in an earlier reg, wasn't very good.. It was... Hands, Bbonney, Scream Tail, Farigiraf, Hatterene and.. Torkoal

[sharp cobalt]

DAs

[timber falcon]

U have a path?

[sharp cobalt]

Not yet

Which one is better

[sharp cobalt]

I'll worry about that later

I have like, 3 games to play so VGC is very low prio for me

[timber falcon]

Cause I kinda finished a Groudon team and need to find one first for a rental…

[sharp cobalt]

[timber falcon]

In short I need to save Groudon for my DA list

But can’t find one for my life

[sharp cobalt]

I have sword

[timber falcon]

Same

Is it a shield exclusive?

[sharp cobalt]

Nope

[timber falcon]

Oh so I’m just unlucky

[solid frigate]

idk which one should i use- like i tested all 3

[sharp cobalt]

I am planning on restarting Sword at some point to shunt more legendaries (Iive 4 currently)

[timber falcon]

I’ve only got 1 from DAs and ever since I’ve lost faith lol

Might as well take the time to shunt another

[solid frigate]

moment

[timber falcon]

Truly a moment of all time

[solid frigate]

anyways i might just decide which Terapagos i gotta use

[timber falcon]

Oh lemme have a look

[solid frigate]

dis

[graceful flare]

Who are the best trick room setter

[timber falcon]

Where is specs

[timber falcon]

Depends

[graceful flare]

Bc whenever I play against calyrex I just taunt it and stop trick room

[timber falcon]

Top 3 rn I think are farig, caly, indeedee

[graceful flare]

Is just using clayrex enough

[solid frigate]

this is still the CM sets

[timber falcon]

If ur hard tr I wouldn’t leave All to caly

[timber falcon]

I think specs is the way to go

Via battling against pagos teams in general

[solid frigate]

Lunala:Can Use CM and people Loved it
Terapagos:Use CM and everyone hate it

ah yes moment of funni

[timber falcon]

Calm mind lunala?

[craggy dagger]

lunala is pretty though-
and graceful

[graceful flare]

Not hard trick room but when since most of my team is fast if things don't go as planned I will have to stall out my own trick room

[timber falcon]

True true

[solid frigate]

Andrew Zheng used it

[craggy dagger]

terapagos is baby who should be cherished-
it shouldn’t be sent into battle

[timber falcon]

Seems like I missed that one e

[solid frigate]

But the power is a fucking nuke

[craggy dagger]

https://tenor.com/view/pokemon-pokemon-terapagos-terapagos-sleeping-gif-5095555796648456162

[dusty gate]

[timber falcon]

Then stall it out, or have a slow mon that can take advantage of opposing tr

[craggy dagger]

BUT ITS SO PRECIOUSSSSS

[solid frigate]

AGREE

[timber falcon]

I’m not a fan of its design tbh

[solid frigate]

AND PEOPLE HATE IT BECAUSE HOW GOOD IS IT

BRUH
