Oh btw I have edited the palkia team I made

From testing and advice

[willow vault]

ok

[lofty tartan]

The most terrible

[willow vault]

what changes?

[timber falcon]

Lemme show rq

[willow vault]

I could make it far worse

[lofty tartan]

Alomomola

[willow vault]

I could make Palkia only move chilling water on a sun team

[lofty tartan]

God that name trips me up every time. Run the fish.

[willow vault]

I can't stoop that low

[timber falcon]

https://pokepast.es/68d5afb513aef7ea thundurus set is just for reference, evs and items are wrong

[lofty tartan]

But you're so close

[willow vault]

but I don't know if I have the strength to do it

[lofty tartan]

You know who does have the strength?

Alomomola

[willow vault]

I have another genius idea for the team, dry skin toxicroak

[lofty tartan]

I played a Toxicroak Dragalge TR team when I first started VGC.

It was not good

[timber falcon]

why dont i use ring target thundurus

maybe it can work

[lofty tartan]

Wh...why

It removes its own immunities with Ring Target so that you can hit it with EQ and KO it yourself, so your opponent doesn't have to take the time actually playing the game against your team

Don't use Ring Target.

[willow vault]

https://pokepast.es/d2ce008abb65c946

big brain team

[lofty tartan]

Wait why... are you playing Gravity with EQ and two things that are supposed to be immune to it?

Is Ashton Kutcher over there or something?

Am I being pranked?

[willow vault]

by who?

[lofty tartan]

OTOT

[willow vault]

ok

[lofty tartan]

He's got Gravity on Palkia with EQ and Torn/Thundy and talking about running Ring Target Thundurus

I'm not sure he's aware of the interactions going on here.

[willow vault]

what?

[timber falcon]

OH

[lofty tartan]

Like you click Gravity and... then EQ your guy later?

[willow vault]

by the way anyone can use this team if they really want to

[timber falcon]

ive just KOd my own thundurus as u mentioned this-

with eq

[lofty tartan]

LMAO

[willow vault]

lmao

[lofty tartan]

https://tenor.com/view/giggles-gif-26049387

[willow vault]

Hey Herbie I added the alomomola

and the toxicroak, I removed amoongus and Urshifu because they are clearly worse

[timber falcon]

yep it cost me the game

wtf am i doing

[willow vault]

there is no way you didn't design that on purpose, see your trying to be me by making a team unneccessarily bad

[dapper crag]

Item: Ring Target

The holder's type immunities granted solely by its typing are negated.

SableyeBot version 4.27.1

[timber falcon]

wait wait waiy

[lofty tartan]

Yes

[willow vault]

yeah

[timber falcon]

i thought that it let me hit ground types

[lofty tartan]

It does what it sounds like. Yes.

[timber falcon]

with electric

[willow vault]

huh?

[lofty tartan]

It removes your immunities to ground from being flying.

[cyan smelt]

Only if you trick ring target

[lofty tartan]

So if a ghost type holds ring target, it can be hit by normal and fighting moves.

Don't use it.

[timber falcon]

oh i thought it was the opposite

[lofty tartan]

Nope.

[willow vault]

nope

[timber falcon]

ring target swapped for lorb

[willow vault]

ok

[timber falcon]

should i just run defiant

or maybe prankster twave is better

[lofty tartan]

Why is it tera flying tera blast?

You have flying coverage with Tornadus

[willow vault]

wouldn't tera ice tera blast be better if your trying to be a glass cannon atleast because bolt beam is still very good coverage

only if your trying to be a glass cannon otherwise its a terrible tera type

[timber falcon]

i dont know tbh

[lofty tartan]

Yeah Tera Ice is

I've had good success with Tera Water Thundy, but no Tera Blast.

There's cool stuff like Electroweb

[willow vault]

I do like me some electroweb

[lofty tartan]

Honestly Tink should probably be Tera Flying

You resist fighting, you're immune to ground, and you weren't gonna tera away your resist in front of flutter anyway

Fire still weak to Ground. EQ no bueno

Just a thought

[timber falcon]

i dont like pao on the team

[lofty tartan]

You don't have a lot going for it.

[timber falcon]

feels outa place

[autumn vault]

Then remove it

And replace it for something else

[timber falcon]

yeah its being replaced rn

one thing i do not have is follow me

i think thats gonna be needed

[autumn vault]

https://pokepast.es/ad234b682e69448a Opinions?

Its a rayquaza team

Here is the reason why i have 100 speed evs for Ray, credit Woodtofu for the message

[distant scarab]

Max speed IV's for everything?

[autumn vault]

I forgor to EV ogerpon-W

[timber falcon]

explanation for max speed entei?

and not much spdef invest

[autumn vault]

https://pokepast.es/433f81c4918b3aa0 updated

Thinking of going Cornerstone over Wellspring

[autumn vault]

Max speed entei helps with burning opponents quicker and attacking faster

I don't run tera normal or a damage boosting move on Entei

And i already run AV

So no need to buff SpD

Atleast, not to calc things

@timber falcon done explaining

Do you think cornerstone would fit more? I think so

[timber falcon]

for which role?

[mighty stump]

Running AV is all the more reason to invest in SpDef.

[autumn vault]

As the grass type, i already have redirection

2 isn't super neccesary

[craggy dagger]

[autumn vault]

I swear i didn't see that

Is it OK if you can show me where that lesson started? Yes i call it a lesson

[timber falcon]

He said it while ago to me

Ok sure

[molten oasis]

Gm

[autumn vault]

G' morning

[mighty stump]

I would almost suggest Weezing to stop Armor Tail

Rayquaza doesn’t exactly lose value from getting hit with NGas

That’s what I tried once

[craggy dagger]

mornieee drago
did you sleep well?

[molten oasis]

I slept, enough ig

hitmontop is interesting

[autumn vault]

I didn't want to repeat types or get an extra ice weakness which means no Incnieroar Landorus-Therian or H-Arcanine, Wide Guard would also be very nice so thats why i added Hitmon

[autumn vault]

True

[molten oasis]

fair

gonna throw chi yu into some matches and see how it fares

[autumn vault]

Were there other options i could have taken? Yes
Does hitmontop bring a lot of value, probably more than all the others that fit the quota? Definetely

[molten oasis]

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2024regg-2134197625 t1 read was cool

[autumn vault]

That read was very good indeed

[molten oasis]

im gonna lose to a metagross because pao missed crash

[autumn vault]

oof

[molten oasis]

and then i barely didn't get the kill on it, yippee

[south shuttle]

u should've ran ice spinner 😭

[autumn vault]

MFs when rillaboom:

[molten oasis]

i have a rillaboom im not running ice spinner

[autumn vault]

Or Indeedee

[molten oasis]

i still won

[autumn vault]

Nice

[south shuttle]

congrats

[molten oasis]

he tera'd his metagross infront of my urshifu super early

[south shuttle]

the ultimate miraidon counter

[molten oasis]

still waiting to find a caly tho

lots of kyogre

[autumn vault]

And also Indeedee since it replaces e-terrain but it can't kill it in 2 hits with a SE move unlike Rillaboom

[mystic wedge]

Well she conderace

[south shuttle]

ye dazzling gleam is like 4 with the 0.75x

[molten oasis]

someone just tried to skill swap prankster smeargle me then proceded to lose his kyogre to a wood hammer when his sableye eject buttoned into it

[craggy dagger]

that sounds.
interesting

[molten oasis]

ah yes set rain for the urshifu, thank you thank you

alr, anyone have a caly s, preferably with draining kiss, i can practice with?

[chrome knot]

@craggy dagger

hello.

[craggy dagger]

hi

what’s up?

[autumn vault]

0 SpA Indeedee-F Dazzling Gleam vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Miraidon: 38-46 (21.5 - 26.1%) -- 3% chance to 4HKO you got close

[chrome knot]

omg haaiiii haiiiii hru

[molten oasis]

https://pokepast.es/f15ebae1a65bd9b8 not that i should be asking here but, im looking for a 6th that works into the clef caly s mu, notably the team that won the LA regionals, im struggling into it

i have tried incin and umbreon they just didn't feel great

[autumn vault]

Thats not a good MU to face, something that has prankster taunt can help with Clefairy

Probably Torn, Whim or Grimmsnarl

Shutting down Clefairy's shenanigans is very nice

[molten oasis]

if i taunt the clefairy i get intimidated the next turn

thats the issue

[graceful flare]

Can someone tag me bc I want to see what my name is when tagged

[molten oasis]

and urshifu just kinda, explodes

pao takes 2 hits well enough

but then yk, just doesn't outspeed caly so it dies

[graceful flare]

Is it my real username of I'm I'm I'm

[autumn vault]

I personally think Grimmsnarl is the choice, screens to minimize damage, taunt, if you don't want to go Taunt then you can go T-Wave or Parting Shot and Foul Play to OHKO CSR

[graceful flare]

@graceful flare

[molten oasis]

mm, we can try that ig

[autumn vault]

Typing walls Astral Barrage and Psyshock/Psychic/Expanding force which is also very nice

And draining Kiss is very weak without tera fairy

[forest arrow]

not the draining kiss variant you mentioned tho

[solid frigate]

doesn't Dark types almost auto walls that

[autumn vault]

Yes

Just stating a benefit against the MU

[solid frigate]

sure

Dark types Stonks:📈📈

[autumn vault]

Fighting Fairy Bug stonks: 📈

[graceful flare]

E

[molten oasis]

ok the issue is the draining kiss ones

[solid frigate]

not really bug

[autumn vault]

Volcarona:

[solid frigate]

but others maybe

[molten oasis]

with umbreon/incin into the ones with psychic stabs i was fine

the ones with draining kiss were just, they felt unbeatable

[autumn vault]

252 SpA Life Orb Tera-Fairy Calyrex-Shadow Rider Draining Kiss (Tera 60 BP Boost) vs. 252 HP / 116+ SpD Grimmsnarl: 159-190 (78.7 - 94%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

[strange fjord]

Bug types go 📈📉

[solid frigate]

i think thats the only Bug types and they only run struggle bug for support

[autumn vault]

252 SpA Life Orb Tera-Fairy Calyrex-Shadow Rider Draining Kiss (Tera 60 BP Boost) vs. 252 HP / 116+ SpD Grimmsnarl through Light Screen: 106-127 (52.4 - 62.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

[molten oasis]

idt you're thinking of the caly im thinking of

remember the one that won LA

[solid frigate]

[molten oasis]

That is the mu i am struggling to break

[autumn vault]

https://pokepast.es/e1a8bd00efd8205a

[molten oasis]

i've considered kingambit

so incin cant switch in freely and i punish a tera with iron head, and also hurt clefairy

[autumn vault]

Only 2 dark counter being Urshifu and D-Kiss CSR Tera Fairy

[next stump]

what about something like Urshifu/Pao lead? If you run ghost tera urshifu you can play around their fake out leads and if they lead clefairy, a double up knocks it out

[strange fjord]

252 SpA Tera Fairy Calyrex-Shadow Draining Kiss (60 BP) vs. 20 HP / 0 SpD Munchlax: 70-84 (32.8 - 39.4%) -- 99.8% chance to 3HKO

[next stump]

Otherwise Pelipper does really help that matchup since they're stuck clicking draining kiss into a zacian

[molten oasis]

im sticking with torn

pelipper never clicked for me

[strange fjord]

or drain kiss pelipper and astral the zacian after

[molten oasis]

zacian can take the ko beforehand

especially if it tera's

[strange fjord]

they wouldn't want to tera against zacian

why would they

[molten oasis]

uh, hmm

[next stump]

I think Ursh/Pao lead with ghost tera urshifu is where you start in terms of looking at the pokemon you already have

[molten oasis]

if per say, pao shifu is the lead and i switch to ghost shifu, what do i do with the 6th

which is still up for debate

[next stump]

Incin as a 6th is a decent testing point, it rounds out your fire/water/grass and a ghost tera incin with wisp can help your Zama matchup

and with goggles it gives you a spore switch in

[molten oasis]

also a wisp switchin

alr, i'll try that out

[next stump]

I think your team's key into Caly-S matchup is to just trade very aggressively

[molten oasis]

yea i cant play slow into it or i lose to NP stuff

[next stump]

If you run 4HP/92SpDef Urshifu, you always live a Spell Tag boosted Astral Barrage. So you can lead Urshifu + Pao and play pretty recklessly knowing that both of your pokemon are guaranteed to live (unless they're a madman and click helping hand with Clef)

[molten oasis]

thats, a lot of attack evs down

although that sounds worthwhile

and i have rain to boost shifu's damage output

[next stump]

156 is the 2nd bump in your attack investment, you run 4HP/156ATK/4 DEF/92SpDef/252SPE

[molten oasis]

oh, right

[next stump]

also if you check damage calcs with Surging Strikes, something with the formula is weird and attack investment barely matters since you're critting

it does result in lower close combat damage but tbh you're rarely clicking close combat anyways

[molten oasis]

true yea

[next stump]

156+ Atk Sword of Ruin Urshifu-Rapid Strike Surging Strikes (3 hits) vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Calyrex-Shadow Rider on a critical hit with Friend Guard: 120-144 (68.5 - 82.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

vs

204+ Atk Sword of Ruin Urshifu-Rapid Strike Surging Strikes (3 hits) vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Calyrex-Shadow Rider on a critical hit with Friend Guard: 120-144 (68.5 - 82.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

no idea why the math is like this, but they're the same

[dapper crag]

Ability: Sword of Ruin

Active Pokemon without this Ability have their Defense multiplied by 0.75.

SableyeBot version 4.27.1

[molten oasis]

252 SpA Spell Tag Calyrex-Shadow Rider Astral Barrage vs. 44 HP / 52 SpD Urshifu-Rapid Strike: 153-180 (84.5 - 99.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO this also works

[next stump]

yeah that works as well, whichever you want to go for

[molten oasis]

i'll go for that as that hp invest has let me live things idt i should have

[autumn vault]

The math for calculating Damage is very odd indeed, still its a win for Urshifu-R players

[molten oasis]

win for me

ok

[south shuttle]

https://tenor.com/view/miraidon-pokemon-vgc-violet-electric-terrain-gif-12584623631968381813

[next stump]

I wish we saw some of the pokepastes with spreads from LA

[molten oasis]

so, tera ghost shifu, adjust evs, lead shifu pao into stuff

[next stump]

so that we could know these Caly-Shadow speed stats

[molten oasis]

i'd assume the caly is max speed but who knows

[south shuttle]

who thought miraidon was a good idea

[autumn vault]

If it was Scarlet activity then a tera fire flare blitz Koraidon could have destroyed something neutrally

[autumn vault]

As a Zekrom stan i second this

I need more representation for my boy

[next stump]

Timid max speed makes the most sense but I think there are also some that are dropping speed, going modest, and investing in bulk and leveraging friend guard

[autumn vault]

And that thing is preventing it from happening

[molten oasis]

that would make sense

[south shuttle]

but tornadus rain dance lowers the power substantially

[south shuttle]

fr

[next stump]

the guy getting his incin OHKO'd in this GIF is one of my closest friends 😭

(I send it to him all the time)

[south shuttle]

did u know if it was spdef bulky

[autumn vault]

That is like saying "but rillaboom grassy terrain lowers the power substantially", we know and we are not talking about damage reduction

[next stump]

it's just your standard incineroar kinda spread

[molten oasis]

cant believe miraidon can just do that

remove a incin from existence with volt swtich

[next stump]

252+ SpA Choice Specs Hadron Engine Tera-Electric Miraidon Volt Switch vs. 236 HP / 124+ SpD Incineroar in Electric Terrain: 204-240 (102 - 120%) -- guaranteed OHKO

[autumn vault]

Now i feel very bad for Jose

[molten oasis]

pff

really really gross pokemon

iron treads:

[molten oasis]

although i like playing into miraidon

[south shuttle]

https://tenor.com/view/shannon-sharpe-gif-25530022

This isn't even Modest

[molten oasis]

alr well, thank you Dillon i appreciate it, really running out of time to lock smth in

that mu was killing me

[south shuttle]

the buffs go crazy

[next stump]

I am down to test with you if you ever want to, I can play the calyrex side of the matchup

and we can run lines

[south shuttle]

if only koraidon was dragon fire

[molten oasis]

i'd love that when you got time

[south shuttle]

then they would just be buff versions of unova 😭

[autumn vault]

252+ SpA Choice Specs Hadron Engine Miraidon Electro Drift (Super Effective) vs. 252 HP / 252 SpD Multiscale Lugia in Electric Terrain: 193-229 (90.6 - 107.5%) -- 43.8% chance to OHKO
This is absolute Bullshit

Lugia, a special wall, gets OHKO'd by this

[molten oasis]

at this point flare blitz is koraidons best move

[autumn vault]

Granted it is SE but damn

[south shuttle]

multiscale** HALVES** damage

[molten oasis]

already stab cuz of sun

[autumn vault]

Still is

[molten oasis]

then tera fire just, big damage

[south shuttle]

its so goofy

[molten oasis]

lots of multipliers

[south shuttle]

very big damage

[molten oasis]

gross pokemon

[autumn vault]

The Raidons are gross pokemon

[molten oasis]

the bikes

[south shuttle]

scarlet and violet pokemon were just made to be gross

[autumn vault]

They got banned to NatDex AG because of Z-Moves but that says a lot about them

[south shuttle]

look at flutter mane

[molten oasis]

koraidon power crept groudon

[autumn vault]

In singles, doubles it is much closer

But Koraidon is still better

[south shuttle]

add helping hand 💀

[autumn vault]

And Miraidon is power crept Zekrom that switched to SpA

[molten oasis]

ok so wheres groudon in doubles

[south shuttle]

koraidon is the same for reshiram

[autumn vault]

They don't share the same type

[south shuttle]

tera:

[molten oasis]

resh just isnt good

[south shuttle]

its main attacking move is flare blitz too

[autumn vault]

Gouging Fire is power crept Reshiram who is drastically different

[molten oasis]

then its not power crept

[autumn vault]

So? You still use a tera

tera can be super valuable

[south shuttle]

[autumn vault]

Where Regigiggas that makes computer lag noises?

[molten oasis]

would have been cool if koraidon was fire dragon

although, that would have been, a really annoying mon to break

[autumn vault]

It would nuke stuff even harder than Miraidon

And you know about Miraidon's nuking potential

floatzel in ou?

[solid frigate]

you can still use Below OU mon in OU-

[south shuttle]

but why floatzel

[autumn vault]

True

But why run it?

[solid frigate]

because i love floatzel

[south shuttle]

reasonable

[solid frigate]

its surprisingly decent in OU before i decided that Singles sucks-

[south shuttle]

its really funny to run tr weakness policy dusk mane in ubers

very funny singles moment

[autumn vault]

OU is overrated

It has fallen off

[solid frigate]

i swear that's the only set available for DM Necrozma-

Someone run Dragon Dance i was like why

[south shuttle]

fr

dragon dance is run in nat dex ubers

i got really high ladder with that set

[next stump]

[solid frigate]

[south shuttle]

[chrome knot]

i be on peli too tn

rn* its like the most sane zam mu

[autumn vault]

https://pokepast.es/f4d90c53fa91d392 Also i made a box with spreads for a lot of pokemon, idk why i did it, i was just bored

[south shuttle]

gen 8 ou was fire

eapecially with my choice band lando t

[autumn vault]

I think the bans on Gen 9 OU are fine since they are good

[south shuttle]

caught ppl off guard

[autumn vault]

But there are so many things in OU and i feel like i just never have fun

[south shuttle]

the bans have been pretty good so far

[autumn vault]

And the bans keep shaking up OU

And the mole fell to UU

So i went to UU

[south shuttle]

what mole

excadrill?

[autumn vault]

Excadrill

Only mole pokemon that is fully evolved

[south shuttle]

ursaluna is in UU too 💀

that doesnt seem right

[autumn vault]

Then play UU and test it

[south shuttle]

i did

i just like playing ou

[craggy dagger]

ursa kinda falls short in singles though

[autumn vault]

When i used a TR Ursaluna it just picks up 2 KOs then dies

[south shuttle]

same thing with me

[autumn vault]

And chilly reception did the switch

[autumn vault]

Or 3 if i was lucky

[south shuttle]

health gift hatterine

in ou the legendary birds are decent

like scarf galarian zapdos

[molten oasis]

goltres is the best of the birds but gapdos is second

[south shuttle]

ive never seen a gmoltres

[molten oasis]

it won, uh

was it stockholm it won?

[timber falcon]

Get to mid table with 70%

[south shuttle]

gapdos might be good in vgc with incineroar

[autumn vault]

Do you think i am a good player?

I think i have what it takes to get to 1600s

[molten oasis]

yea goltres and latios won stockholm with zama

[timber falcon]

I mean what I consider good is very different to u

[south shuttle]

gen9?

[molten oasis]

yep

oh NAIC is in a week

[south shuttle]

did g zapdos ever win?

[autumn vault]

I mean my skill

[molten oasis]

no

its fine

you have a mon strong into incin

[timber falcon]

I’d have to bo3 u to see

[molten oasis]

and urshifu and ogerpon

[autumn vault]

The one that won my heart more than G-Moltres and G-Articuno? Yes
Won a tournament? No

[molten oasis]

consistent flying damage is really good

[autumn vault]

Do you want to? I am down to Bo3

[south shuttle]

https://tenor.com/view/crown-tundra-ct-pokemon-galarian-zapdos-galarian-articuno-gif-18883529

[timber falcon]

Sure, lemme finish a game rq

[south shuttle]

shhhhhh we dont talk about articuno

[autumn vault]

Ok

[timber falcon]

Ooo tofu be lurking

[south shuttle]

[molten oasis]

skill imo is more gauged on how you perform in general

[timber falcon]

Mhm

[molten oasis]

getting to high ladder and performing well is good

[autumn vault]

Username Lyco terapagos-CS

[molten oasis]

but a lot of your skill can gauge on just your decision making

[autumn vault]

Fair point of view

[molten oasis]

and how you position a board state

[autumn vault]

I want to get addicted to that Mareeoh video with the advice ngl

I miss defiant thundurus last gen 😦

zacian’s favorite partner

[molten oasis]

lol, anti incin

we love anti incin for zacian

[molten oasis]

but seriously why are we running defiant thunderous

[timber falcon]

team was still in testing phase

[molten oasis]

ic

[timber falcon]

ill be redoing it again later, i keep swapping sets and mons around

[molten oasis]

you just kinda have to deal with palkia, missing

a lot, cuz yk, no good accurate moves (that i know of)

[autumn vault]

You run T-Wave, why not prankster?

[timber falcon]

i need 1. a way to deal with HO 2. grassy terrain

[autumn vault]

Also i can't Bo3

[timber falcon]

3. execute eq sweep

[timber falcon]

i was doing that b4 but tested defiant

[autumn vault]

I am forced out of the PC and it wont let me upload the team to my other devices

So great i don't have my CS Pagos team on my phone

[timber falcon]

oof

[molten oasis]

oof

[autumn vault]

I must be "autoconfirmed" to do that

Probably needed a week to do that

[molten oasis]

you dont have a paste anywhere?

if you can remember the evs you can probably get everything else

[autumn vault]

On my phone? No, but i do have one higher up here

[molten oasis]

go try to find it

[autumn vault]

Found it

[timber falcon]

[molten oasis]

now you can bo3

[timber falcon]

@autumn vault you up for a rematch?

[autumn vault]

Ggs

[timber falcon]

i feel like tw/tr would help u out

i won purely cause i got tw up both times

[autumn vault]

I already have T wave and icy wind

[timber falcon]

even so

[autumn vault]

Priority T-Wave might be good against the prankster's partner

Groudon blocks it

Thats a rough MU

[timber falcon]

also is that chi-yu modest?

didnt expect to live overheat

[autumn vault]

Its Timid

[timber falcon]

ah ok

[autumn vault]

I think max speed is moe valuable on it

I don't always encounter AV Groudon

[molten oasis]

ah the av groudon

[autumn vault]

AV is so easy and so hard to beat at the same time

[timber falcon]

252 SpA Beads of Ruin Chi-Yu Overheat vs. 164 HP / 52 SpD Assault Vest Groudon in Sun: 157-186 (80.1 - 94.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

[molten oasis]

damn in the sun

[timber falcon]

groudon stronk

good thing calced it high lol

[autumn vault]

14% run AV and 12% are partnered up with Tornadus

[timber falcon]

im pretty sure its calced to live ghost tera specs astral barrage

[molten oasis]

which would also live +2 then, i think

[autumn vault]

And Groudon has 8% usage

[timber falcon]

so its not really an MU worth planning for, but to work around

[autumn vault]

So i think i don't need to prep for that MU

[timber falcon]

yeah u dont

[autumn vault]

Besides Chi-Yu murders non AV groudon

So its not even a bad MU without tailwind

[timber falcon]

i mean it would be a trade

im pretty sure most would tera groudon there

and if im being honest, i had no idea u even had overheat

i tend to overlook OTS

[graceful flare]

I was just abt to ask

Is groudpn good bc I got traded a legit shiny pogo groudon

[timber falcon]

eh its decent, not an S or maybe A cless restricted

[solid frigate]

A- At best

but somehow still exists in all 3 regionals

[timber falcon]

cause it has some potential ig

[solid frigate]

the only set we can see is CA or AV Groudon with Gravity Shocks

but eh

[autumn vault]

Ground will always be a valuable type, and having 2 weaknesses under the sun it counters with fire then it basically has no weaknesses that either can't have their damage split in half or be countered unless you are a dual type

And Groudon doesn't have to blow a tera when seeing a fairy

[solid frigate]

fair

[solid frigate]

kek

[solid frigate]

[timber falcon]

why ancient power?

[solid frigate]

For Omni Boost

and deal with Incineroar-

[foggy lodge]

Just run earth power

[timber falcon]

atp there earth power which also helps with tera elec mirai

[solid frigate]

lemme try something

[foggy lodge]

10% roll and a 60BP move over a consistent way to threat Incineroar

[solid frigate]

ok fine

i can't try something

[foggy lodge]

I was testing Kyurem W also rn lol

https://pokepast.es/adb3b9c7a313a719

I just saw a team in another server who had a ancient power Regidrago

[bold geode]

Oh 10% chance, yeah hell nah lmao

[foggy lodge]

What is happening with Ancient Power today

Cooking before NAIC? Lol

[bold geode]

I kinda feel like Meteor Beam Terapagos is the true sauce lol

Like the sauce could be not even Specs or CM Turtle
Just Meteor Beam/Starstorm/Earth Power/Protect

[foggy lodge]

Dark pulse

[solid frigate]

[foggy lodge]

Considering that Caly Shadow is a big problem rn

[bold geode]

Eh

[foggy lodge]

I prefer meteor herb because the protect and positioning is pretty important to me

[bold geode]

Maybe, maybe not

[foggy lodge]

But i use the choice specs variant because is the one i see that gets results

[solid frigate]

Wake Reshiram Whimsicott sunny day?

or just Auto Drought with Torkal or somethin

[willow vault]

Torkoal, wooooooooooo

[solid frigate]

AV or Booster Wake

[willow vault]

Wake runs av?

[solid frigate]

I'm just curious

but eh maybe Lorb

[willow vault]

I’ve only ran into Lorb and booster

[solid frigate]

https://pokepast.es/4251422efd2ee115

I have this idea going on

[willow vault]

I see the idea

[solid frigate]

i guess Reshiram has built so yeah i think i only have few of them left

[willow vault]

Oh are you team building around the stuff from yesterday?

[solid frigate]

yeah

[willow vault]

Nice

[solid frigate]

  This is the Reshiram set i use, if you want a bulky set ofc

Surprised you voted Reshiram and not Zacian Drago

[molten oasis]

Idk if you’d enjoy getting Zac to work

[autumn vault]

I can, it does fit my playstyle a bit

But thanks for atleast considering that i wouldn't enjoy making Zac work

The vote is still a vote

[solid frigate]

https://pokepast.es/987e129ffc9f4aa3

[autumn vault]

Damn, you people love Zacian now after 2022

I honestly did not expect it to skyrocket compared to other restricteds

[little plank]

I need a new team idea, I'm basically at a hard wall at 1550.

[little plank]

I ran this with smeargle lol

Problem I ran into with that combo was urshifu koraidon and Zama just ate through it lol

[molten oasis]

Idt it’s THAT popular

There’s still better restricteds

[solid frigate]

[willow vault]

We are building teams of every restricted, it’s not Zacian specific

[autumn vault]

https://pokepast.es/c302e709e6979cf2 I guess here is another zacian team

[junior blade]

Any suggestions?

[autumn vault]

Fling is bad rn

[junior blade]

It can keep up tho

What pokemon could i add tho

[autumn vault]

For Acrobatics shenanigans you can go rillaboom in the last slot and give Sneasler a grassy seed, trust me it worked in the past

Also pls use protect on Volcarona over morning sun

[junior blade]

Its singles tho

[autumn vault]

Oh right

[junior blade]

And i am using bulky build but its not set there

[autumn vault]

For an ubers team it doesn't look good

[junior blade]

I need sixth pokemon tho

Idk what would work, i think bout hisui electrode

With specs and volt switch

[autumn vault]

I don't play ubers but i would go with either Koraidon, Miraidon or Arceus

Most Likely Arceus

[autumn vault]

Popular as in very liked

Or loved

[autumn vault]

·

[graceful flare]

I'd say take out sneaker flutter mane volcarona and kyurem for calyrex shadow rider and in the last slot put in calyrex shadow rider aswell

[solid frigate]

I am planning to play some Bo3's tomorrow

[solid frigate]

Me and Crephace build this team

[autumn vault]

We can't forget about Creph

[solid frigate]

https://pokepast.es/5a011bf65c7f615b

[autumn vault]

Meanwhile i build many of my teams alone

[solid frigate]

here is the team

[autumn vault]

I really like the team

Also why is the Amoonguss super physically bulky?

Seems overkill, unless its for tanking glacial lance or smth

[solid frigate]

idk i just throw my Amoonguss from Turtle Team to here

[autumn vault]

Not knowing a reason to why a spread is super odd is not a great sign

I will just go calc it

[solid frigate]

Terapagos Skeledirge Team-

with Salamence-

[autumn vault]

Interesting team

[solid frigate]

eh its Cm Turtle

[autumn vault]

Still is

[solid frigate]

yeah its CM turtle Team

[autumn vault]

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2024regg-2134397877 I like these results so far

https://tenor.com/view/pokemon-pokemon-moon-pokemon-moon-sun-lunala-legendary-gif-5445661

[willow vault]

Let’s go

[solid frigate]

i would say its a resounding success

(Can't say the same for the GreninjaWinner one)

[willow vault]

True

[solid frigate]

he lost to Terapagos that i faced

[willow vault]

I helped build a good team

[solid frigate]

yep

[willow vault]

We did great with that team

[solid frigate]

Here's the board

[willow vault]

Hey grand finals is a good run

What was the finals opponents team

[solid frigate]

Koraidon,Bolt,RIlla and Scream Tail

thats it.

[willow vault]

Oh, only 4?

[solid frigate]

yd

[willow vault]

Damn, I’m assuming it was raging bolt + scream tail which was toughest to deal with

[solid frigate]

yeah-

[autumn vault]

I want to play in a room tour ngl

[willow vault]

I mean Koriadon with fire stab hurts aswell

[autumn vault]

He got a lucky Flare Blitz burn on Koraidon btw

[solid frigate]

but it does not matter

[willow vault]

Oh

Tough team I guess

But we take 2nd, for now…

[solid frigate]

its a tough core for sure

[autumn vault]

OTOT was cooking something up when he made that AV Groudon Scream Tail team

[solid frigate]

i'm fucked-

[willow vault]

I mean did you see the team earlier on today with gravity stuff

[autumn vault]

I don't remember anything about that

[solid frigate]

[willow vault]

Magolors a good character

[autumn vault]

Want to know a fun fact about OTOT?

I actually know his real name and middle name

[willow vault]

We don’t need that shared online, for their own sake

[autumn vault]

Obv

I wouldn't expose it

[willow vault]

Good

[autumn vault]

I mean i wouldn't want my name exposed on the internet

Definetely the same for OTOT

[solid frigate]

yeah

[autumn vault]

I know his name because i sent him my koraidon notes, he couldn't see them and requested access to them

And obviously it exposes your Gmail so i saw his name

[willow vault]

I also would like my anonymity kept at least a little bit

[autumn vault]

'Nuff said

[solid frigate]

https://pokepast.es/80cc11b03d8e8ffb

This guy still don't know how to build Lunala

[willow vault]

No

That’s so bad

[solid frigate]

whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[autumn vault]

Sad

he has a skill issue

[solid frigate]

Fast Lunala TR??? WHY

also look at the Golem

[autumn vault]

Skill issue 100%

[solid frigate]

yeah i can beat that NP

[dapper crag]

Ability: Galvanize

This Pokemon's Normal-type moves become Electric-type moves and have their power multiplied by 1.2. This effect comes after other effects that change a move's type, but before Ion Deluge and Electrify's effects.

SableyeBot version 4.27.1

[autumn vault]

Why the flame orb and Facade?

[willow vault]

Our team clears that

[autumn vault]

I am still jealous of you 2 building a team together while i build my teams alone with hardly any advice

[solid frigate]

i mean he lost in top 16 but we lost in finals so yeah checks out

[solid frigate]

i mean you can,we did it in VC

[willow vault]

We sat in a vc, next time we do you can join

[autumn vault]

VC, in my POV it is the forbidden place

[solid frigate]

just don't turn on the Mic

[autumn vault]

Don't want to reveal my voice and making a fake one isn't super good as a strat

[willow vault]

Considering it’s just us, don’t turn on your mic and we don’t really care

[solid frigate]

we still look at the chat logs

[autumn vault]

Been thinking about it, i do have the mic muted

[solid frigate]

yeah

i am still cracking up i predicted the Reverse TR and he is salty

[autumn vault]

Let them be salty, if you are salty then stay salty

[solid frigate]

yeah

[autumn vault]

Or stop being salty i guess

Cart ladder hasn’t updated to reg g yet?

Or just season reset

[bold geode]

[solid frigate]

what is Nova cookin lol

[craggy dagger]

this was my first vgc team in sv

and i hit master with it

[solid frigate]

hey at least its masters

i kinda feel like Koraidon would be my greatest Enemy in Reg G

I lost my Champion spot to a Koraidon while using Lunala and Terapagos fucking dies to it

[molten oasis]

Oh doesn’t the online rank ladder reset soon?

[solid frigate]

idk i think so

[next stump]

Japan Nationals on soon

[molten oasis]

Oh cool

[solid frigate]

damn its already 2 months into Reg G

[molten oasis]

I won’t be watching but I hope there’s cool stuff

[solid frigate]

(If you count the first month in Showdown)

[molten oasis]

Mostly, Zacian stuff

[bold geode]

Is this one of the Reg F ones or

[solid frigate]

Reg G

[molten oasis]

I mean, korai and terapagos are on the thumbnail

[solid frigate]

I mean you can clearly See the Gen 9 Box arts

[bold geode]

Ah
If it's Reg G, then prepare for Kyogre

[solid frigate]

I honestly wanna see all of their results

[molten oasis]

Why kyogre?

Is that what the Japanese are running?

[next stump]

i’m pretty no item talonflame won last year so japan is wild hahaha

[molten oasis]

Lmao

I mean, they’re creative

It’s cool to see what they come up with

[foggy lodge]

Sometimes the creativity it's not the best for your work lol

[solid frigate]

I love how the Thumbnail Bikes is using Dragon Tera but neither both uses it for real-

[bold geode]

Remember that one thing Tofu said was going around Japan

[molten oasis]

No

No monke

[bold geode]

Bruh

[foggy lodge]

I just heard that a top player of Japan was going to use a Groudon team on NAIC

[solid frigate]

Expect me not know what the fuck they are saying

[molten oasis]

Tofu doesn’t tell me everything he says here and I’m not on discord 24/7

[bold geode]

He's said it like 5 times lmao

[molten oasis]

Then I wasn’t here for those

[bold geode]

This guy

[molten oasis]

Or I glanced over it

[foggy lodge]

I don't even know who the player is but they say that is pretty influent and one of the best in the world

[bold geode]

Not Zacian, fuck it

Nah it's CM Kyogre with screens

[molten oasis]

Again, I care about zacian teams and how zacian teams play into other teams

Ik it’s good to watch to see how people play

[solid frigate]

I literally hear Miraidon from them cuz Hadron Engine Electric Tera-

[molten oasis]

I just, don’t really care enough since I’m honing in on zacian stuff

[foggy lodge]

I want to play the Zacian team but i have to see the matches of the stream of the team

[solid frigate]

i need to know Japanese-

[foggy lodge]

I need the gameplan

[molten oasis]

Oh I’ve played a screens cm kyogre

It’s an interesting team I like it

[bold geode]

I mean that's good, but I feel like you also need to know what meta shit is happening lmao

[molten oasis]

You think I don’t pay attention?

[solid frigate]

is it Only VGC in this Stream @next stump

[molten oasis]

I don’t watch but I still look at teams and look for patterns

[bold geode]

Bro wanted Unite

[foggy lodge]

I think it includes Unite but not sure

[molten oasis]

I knew the CSR np stuff would pop up

[abstract grail]

Is calyrex a sword/sheild transfer only? Guess I'd have to go for a different restricted or restart my team cause I don't have access to him anymore ever since I got a new switch, rough. Caly ice is pretty strong so I uh dint think there's many temporary replacement 😅

[molten oasis]

Yes

[solid frigate]

i hate Unite-

[molten oasis]

Caly is only obtainable in swsh

Which sucks

[bold geode]

That's been around since Wolfe lmao

[molten oasis]

Monke

I haven’t had to worry about that mu until it won a regional

[foggy lodge]

Use Terapagos

Or Miraidon

[solid frigate]

Tortol better

[bold geode]

https://tenor.com/view/nuh-uh-nuh-uh-scout-tf2-gif-12750436057634665505

[solid frigate]

Tortol moment

[bold geode]

Actually wait hold on I saw another one

[foggy lodge]

Those are the best restricteds apart from the Calyrexs and Zamazenta

[molten oasis]

Now I have to have lines into it

[bold geode]

https://tenor.com/view/nuh-uh-gif-18399658447366638577

[molten oasis]

Clefairy caly was a thing yes, NASTY PLOT caly s and clef wasn’t until the regional happened, I think

[bold geode]

Wolfe had Nasty Plot

[molten oasis]

Ok then I’m stupid

[foggy lodge]

Obviously you can use another restricted that is more accesible and still pretty good

[abstract grail]

Dang, I'm surprised how much only having Violet and Legends is limiting some of my options. It's sorta fun in a sense, but alittle annoying lol. How fast can i realalisticly speedrun Sword and the dlc.

[solid frigate]

Nasty Plot Psychic i think

[bold geode]

But due to it winning a regional, the variants with D Kiss will rise

[molten oasis]

No shit

[foggy lodge]

Koraidon, Kyogre and Groudon are also obtainable in S/V and are pretty good

[foggy lodge]

Pretty fast

They give you a Suicune at the first hours of the DLC

[bold geode]

Hey
Gotta keep the info accurate lol

[solid frigate]

i don't think just Calyrex would limit choices cuz Caly Ice and Caly S only win 1 event

[molten oasis]

Sorry if I’m coming off agitated still kinda stressed

[bold geode]

But yeah before you'd have a few D Kiss and then rest were like
Psyshock actually?

[molten oasis]

Never got around to playing matches and now I don’t got time

[bold geode]

If you're comfortable with it, then fuck it

[molten oasis]

mm

That and still, idk wtf to do with my 6th

Zacian worst mu’s are both of the caly’s imo
