Lol
Specs Kyogre is so much fun
306 SpA from a 150 BP move + STAB + tera + Rain is so much fun
It has been done before but still interesting
I wouldn't want to use a 55% accurate move though
Literally 12% of Clefairy run Sing
Honestly not surprised
even more of a chad play
that u know the chiyu is covert cloaked
overheat snarl heatwave taunt
no protect 
crazy set
Yay lunala on stream
very crazy lmaao
Even worse is gastrodon
With storm drain
Pretty sure it doesnt stop spread
It does?
Sing Clef is used to gamba pressure
It doesn’t lol
Comp chat 🤝 Misinformation
Even if it’s single target
Still a very good move
bro lunala with two cm is scaryyyy
i mean its +2 tera fairy MB but its so mind boggling
yeah
pelipper seals the game there very strong
yeah fs
double protect then weather ball in either slot KOs
oh kirain gw yg slh wkkw
smph demi allah gw masih disini
yeah but also pelipper rilla and lando isnt fun for it 
dah 1/2 mikir cabs aja
water tera too, so rilla is stronk
youre right lol
oo damn reading the no shadball
I dont think Pierluigi has shadow ball
heh thats a really bad turn for luigi
holy damn joans team is so goddamn annoying
having trouble working out that match up might try bolt where he has Lando I
Spout just still does so much and torn gets rid of Rilla
oh or even like rilla lunala idk
They double up peli or partner when trying to wide guard

If you have Scarfshifu just SS/CC the Kyogre
Throw/Mika has been having a shit time w Kyogre
WG Pelipper is just free
Torn can’t touch it
yeah maybe trying to force Lunala to hard
Peli/Luna would just get free CM unless you get into Taunt Torn
If you see Taunt you just Moongeist the Kyogre
Me rn
Okay I’ll play some and try to run into ogre
Mika and I are also gonna try a clef variant
Just dk if we wanna run after you or heal pulse
I’m not a chad lol
Heal Pulse if you have problems with Spread
No
Like
Ok
Say you lead Clef with something into two Spread move users
What do you do
Follow Me is pointless
Helping Hand is pointless if youre not going for a hard KO/dont pick one up
i think throw meant not a chad to me
since we just talked about sing as a chad move
No I agree completely
After you is good in TR but we have Taunt incin, and torn is also another one that we could run taunt on
Consider it this way
Heal Pulse in TR basically means you maintain HP constantly until Clef drops
you’re mitigating a flat 50% damage every time
Which to me is still the better scenario if you still cannot pick up a KO
Heal pulse just seems like the play on top of lefties recovery and terrain
Oh hey my ears were burning
I just did this with Clef/Lunala into Caly-I
And yeah I still think Kyogre is just favored into Lunala. Not a good match up for us, so we're gonna have to ensure we have ways to climb back.
man bo3 really is more forgiving
no muk smeargle in bo3 either
and u get more than one chance against an MU
so gimmicks normally can be worked around
it’s the superior game mode
The one that takes skill
And not the one that uses gimmicky teams to climb sky high
it helps you identify weaknesses in your team too i think
@molten oasis Dragapult on stream
Guys, could you suggest me any pokemon that can set up stealth rock and do thunder wave and stuff?
japan nats top 8
Dawn Wings under the radar getting the most random results

@next stump pastes
Ubers that have that combo: Archaludon Arceus Deoxys Dialga Groudon Rayquaza Zekrom
Pokemon from OU that have that combo: Blissey Clefable Deoxys-Speed and Kingambit
What would be the best
Probably either Deoxys or Blissey
Also deoxys Speed
Or just a support pokemon with stealth rock
Iron Valiant on Caly-I for the Miraidon matchup is crazyyy
That one does the stealth rock t-wave role better than the other ones
Many pokemon get stealth rock
You can literally look at the Showdown page
havent seen dnite for a while, and with no pao
I will just get uxie then
Lets go Lunala made it
Dawn Wings team looks good basically just swaps armarouge for it, nice
i just realised that i am covert cloak Terapagos with Specs Terapagos set member
Oh cool
What is it paired with?
Pagos
ALSO Italy's Cloak Pagos has Dragapult
Is it banded or support?
lemme get team one sec
sash Dragapult
Ah
Cool
also i just realised that my Terapagos is Cloak Pagos but teammates are specs Pagos-
also is that Bulky Specs
i swear the HP that specs pagos had its bulky specs right
oh theres a special event today
yeah in Italy
ic
Cloak Pagos beats Specs Pagos
I use bulky specs as well, its really good
Surviving hits better is good
i like the bulk on Terapagos and both Sets are fine by me
@forest arrow i did watch the Terapagos Mirror in Italy so does that compromise that?
how come
i mention that stream in Italy
oh on stream
https://pokepast.es/26507e6c6666820a
https://pokepast.es/9acaf164548b58bc
Which team member fits onto the team better?
tsarena >
yeah i like both sets but Cloak Turtle is my go to
I can see why
Blocking snarl and FO is very nice
Especially for a SpA mon
but my team members-
Are Specs Turtle lmao
i mean if i was to commit to a pagos set i think specs would be my go to at least, cant go wrong wit some redirection and passive healing
You said that like 5 times i know
als lyco regarding ur teams
no like legit idk why i used it lmao
i don't think Band Urshifu is necessary
It helps to one shot CIR
oh-
unless tera.
Them saying Bologna the way it actually looks lol
but then specs kyogre is open to tclaps and FO
Monkeys that are not pokemon are cringe, especially that one
Landorus Incarnate:
You're cringe
lmao
Besides they don't hurt it too much
monkeys are enjoyable
turtle vs Caly Shadow
You aren't a monkey yet you say cringe, you ARE cringe
Ha got' em
anyways, if banded shifu helps that much go ahead and use it
oh boi Scream Tail + Raging Bolt-
Haven't tested it
my PTSD-
oh then 100% try testing
It can also make opponents bring Psychic types for Urshifu-S to ohko
And the opponents will think about Urshifu-R
Yes its Bo1 reliant but its a good strat
oh, surprise factor 
i'm still annoyed that there's no way to tell which urshifu it is
also Pagos Pairing with Scream Tail and Bolt
fr its a guessing game, and having durshifu on a rain team for bo1 is vile
i mean they can just make a glowing Aura on it
but they don't for SOME REASON
There is a reason why 14% of Kyogre come with Durshifu
also i kinda expect Lefties might be the weaker CM Turtle item-
yep Thundurus is gonna wreak Haovc on Terapagos-
i have slight flashbacks from it
Bogus! I love healing 12% of my hp with grassy terrain and having protect
Seriously though i can see why you like it
I just like the healing
and then gets snarl'd and losing damage
Damn
Why i love specs tera water Kyogre
I might make 3 rentals this month: Specs Kyogre Koraidon and another Zekrom rental
Bro is fishing up PTSD
2 horse lmao
glastrier is bulky af
Won't stop my banded urshifu from destroying it
HONSE
double honse
Oh no I was looking at Honse on stream
Watch a replay of a Pokémon battle between Bolta1 and lyco kyogre-cs! Format: [Gen 9] VGC 2024 Reg G; Date: Jun 1, 2024
also yes honse
Should i stop playing? 69 too nice to give up
@mighty stump are we seeing CM Turtle stonks today?
+4 NASTY PLOT DAMN-
TERAPAGOS 😡 😡
Terapagos amazing in doubles
kek
there are better uses of tera
like sd tera normal espeed arceus
yeah
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2024regg-2134818163 I love Dark urshifu

I think i want to calc for Bulk on Dark Urshifu
I feel like CB does a ton of damage
tortol
Urshifu @ Choice Band
Ability: Unseen Fist
Level: 50
Tera Type: Dark
EVs: 68 HP / 148 Atk / 4 Def / 36 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Wicked Blow
- Close Combat
- Sucker Punch
- Poison Jab
How is this Dark Urshifu spread?
252 SpA Life Orb Calyrex-Shadow Rider Astral Barrage vs. 68 HP / 36 SpD Urshifu-Single Strike: 83-99 (45.1 - 53.8%) -- 38.7% chance to 2HKO
148 Atk Choice Band Urshifu-Single Strike Wicked Blow vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Calyrex-Ice Rider on a critical hit: 192-228 (92.7 - 110.1%) -- 50% chance to OHKO
252 SpA Life Orb Sheer Force Landorus Earth Power vs. 68 HP / 36 SpD Urshifu-Single Strike: 169-200 (91.8 - 108.6%) -- 50% chance to OHKO
252 Atk Landorus-Therian Earthquake vs. 68 HP / 4 Def Urshifu-Single Strike: 69-82 (37.5 - 44.5%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
I calc'd the set to OHKO CIR 50% of the time as i feel like Fake Out chip is enough to take it down if it does survive the wicked blow
And calc'd it to survive Astral Barrage to 3HKO, didn't make it but i got to 38.7% to 2HKO
252 SpA Life Orb Calyrex-Shadow Rider Astral Barrage vs. 60 HP / 44 SpD Urshifu-Single Strike: 82-97 (44.8 - 53%) -- 32% chance to 2HKO
Slightly better odds
Me when the Draining Kiss goes into Urshifu
I think it can survive that after tera, let me go check
252 SpA Life Orb Tera-Fairy Calyrex-Shadow Rider Draining Kiss (Tera 60 BP Boost) vs. 60 HP / 44 SpD Tera-Dark Urshifu-Single Strike: 221-265 (120.7 - 144.8%) -- guaranteed OHKO
252 SpA Life Orb Calyrex-Shadow Rider Draining Kiss vs. 60 HP / 44 SpD Tera-Dark Urshifu-Single Strike: 125-148 (68.3 - 80.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Barely survives base draining kiss
lots of sitrus caly S huh
Well, after tera
This all just looks like not good rolls
CIR roll is poor, 38.7 2HKO chance is awkward, Lando-T calc is irrelevant
How many SpDef boosts does Terapagos have
I was just checking
252 Atk Mold Breaker Ogerpon-Hearthflame Ivy Cudgel (1.2x Mask Boost) vs. 60 HP / 4 Def Urshifu-Single Strike: 97-115 (53 - 62.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Here is an actually relevant calc
252 Atk Ogerpon Superpower vs. 60 HP / 4 Def Urshifu-Single Strike: 130-154 (71 - 84.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
+4
COMEBACK
TURTLE PLS
Bro is tankier than Blissey
its Terastal form rn for funnies
Yup my statement is not false
PLS TURTLE PLS
Zekrom or Excadrill > Koraidon or Emboar > Terapagos or Garbodor > Everything else
Yeah that was close lol
I spotted a homie
turtle when eerie impulse
Or snarl or Parting Shot
+3 236+ SpA Terapagos-Terastal Tera Starstorm vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Tera Fairy Calyrex-Shadow: 240-283 (137.1 - 161.7%) -- guaranteed OHKO
Either that Calyrex is Bulky af or the Terapagos did not have that much EVs
Honestly i am quite shocked
at some point will mythicals be alowed in vgc?
maybe at the end of the game’s life
ah ok so at the very end
its been allowed once at the end of swsh
yeah, it’s not guaranteed they’ll do it again but if they do, it would be there
best strat victini + articuno sheer cold
when there’s no real official tournaments that matter
so no regionals on it?
no
heavily doubt we’ll see western regionals with mythicals ever
i dont think there is, its only been on ranked
ah ok just wanted to know
+3 236+ SpA Terapagos-Terastal Tera Starstorm vs. 252 HP / 252 SpD Tera Fairy Calyrex-Shadow: 189-223 (91.3 - 107.7%) -- 50% chance to OHKO
Ok there is no shot Terapagos Can't OHKO
Maybe the CSR got lucky
It happens
how bulky is that thing,its not calm mind but How-
the plot armor on this horse-
are you talking about round 3? or a later round?
round 3
how +3 Terapagos does not kill
i don’t think terapagos was +3, was it??
i’m pretty sure it only had 1 calm mind up
in game 3
he did calm mind multiple times
+4 SpD
Trying to get to master ball tier with this team
Any thoughts or improvements?
Just good defensively
Also urshifu and Kyogre exists
Fair enough
Throat Spray is still nice
Nobody wants to be facing a tera normal +1 bloodmoon ursaluna in trick room
True
Also the cress survived an astral barrage on half health without tera
1st turn - calm mind
2nd turn - tera starstorm
3rd turn - tera starstorm
4th turn - substitute
5th turn - dies from a double up
@solid frigate that was terapagos in game 3 once it hit the field
there is no subsitute in that match.
i meant the Italy one
Who runs max sp def Calyrex shadow?
You either go sash or specs
Maybe scarf
i'm checking on why the fuck Caly S survived
Talking about Lugia lmao
I’m watching Italy lol, round 3 with Lorenzo vs. Matteo
OH WAIT
I forget I have a Lugia team lol
One of the worst 670-700 BST legends
i wan meant Italy with Antonio and Adam
It's not Chance's, but it's close
Lugia is definitely a singles mon
Mienshao lol
WAIT NO WAY IRON LEAVES AND KINGAMBIT ARE 6-0 RN
@mighty stump you see this shit bro
Lol it's kinda interesting
like what the fuck is lunala doing there bro
But I'm wondering how Leaves and Kingambit are undefeated rn
Whats wrong with Kingambit damn
It's the fact that Kingambit and Leaves are there lol
Kingambit isn’t bad
Actually Kingambit RN ain't looking bad
I considered it for caly s clef stuff
If it's gonna come back, now's a good time
All you really have to worry about is Zamazenta and Koraidon in terms of restricted Fighting types
Run things to beat them
If you exist then anything is possible
Okay, I am finally about ready to venture into the latest Reg in an attempt to get Rank Master Ribbons for my favorite mons. What is the current meta like? What’s a good core this go around?
So I can be a dolphin
Mateo getting haxed
Restricteds.
Which brings me to my next question: which one is good?
Or the best to build a team around?
Calys, Miraidon, Terapagos, Zamazenta.
I wanted to do Koraidon but I don’t feel he’s - ZENTA!? Cool.
Hmmm.
Guess I could go Calyrex Shadow and go from there. I ain’t too used to how Miraidon plays and Terapagos sounds hella specific for me to consider.
Calyrex requires a very specific setup.
Most of the restricted formulas feel almost set in stone.
Aside from that, mainly you';re gonna have to be familiar with how every matchup plays. Example CSR is like this: https://pokepast.es/b43816c423730836
https://x.com/vgccorner/status/1796693165010760027 An important CSR related article.
ik, you're too stupid to understand that concept
In the future, maybe, but i doubt it
Kyogre volcarona 7-0 
@chrome knot
BC NO INCIN BRUH IM SO JEALOUS
Why AV at all? That special bulk alone is enough
The Japanese have funky ideas
Lol nah
Makes sense
Wym?
PJCS top 8 no Incin.
Wait why though

guess they dont have to use incin as much as we do
But why 
don't ask me
i love this lol
so its just the mindset in general?
Iron Hands after Raging Bolt came in:
so
i think i found one of those japan national teams
well, lost to just
iron hands, tr sucks
specs eleki holy
yea im done man
lost to someone's super bulky urshifu
who takes a cc at -1 defense

Lmfao what
God man I want spread damage
252+ Atk Urshifu Close Combat vs. -1 212 HP / 0 Def Urshifu-Rapid-Strike: 169-201 (83.6 - 99.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO eh not that bulky
HARD HITTING spread damage
shifu just has nat good defense
That is a lot of bulk what are you talking about
For a scarf urshifu
That is a lot of bulk
oh it was scarf?
I just need to cool off I lost to a hyper offense chi Yu caly team
also it couldve been a roll 252+ Atk Urshifu Close Combat vs. -1 108 HP / 0 Def Urshifu-Rapid-Strike: 169-201 (89.4 - 106.3%) -- 37.5% chance to OHKO
just gotta cool off and think abt HO MUs i think
whats the team? just interested
pfft
i found one from swsh?
Who?
the one in stockholm finals?
Everything is HO
You need upfront damage pressure against certain teams
I’ve been trying to do that, it’s just wrong leads ig
Why does chat wanna see caly ice vs miraidon when there's a wo chien in the other match lol
....
ditto on top
pagos didnt even get to see play

any more streams or is it over
i think it was last round of the day
@autumn vault Where is the paste
I’m stuck in 1200’s, just keep making really dumb calls
Let me go get the paste
Found it
sorry if this isnt the right spot to post this if not plz lemme know where but i was wondering if the dlc is required for pvp i just got my switch back and want to create a team around zangoose im also new to pvp so any team suggestions send my way
Finished
If you're asking if you need the DLC to participate in PVP: No
If you're asking if you should get the DLC for PVP: Probably, or find someone that can trade you the required Pokemon.
Since you're new to PVP: Throw everything you know about Pokemon from casual play out the window. Using your favourites takes a lot of applied knowledge which is something majority of new players do not have. I recommend using an established rental initially to get a feel of what PVP and the meta-game looks like.
you can use dlc pokemon without having the dlc?
Yes
As long as its a rental
Or trading
if you have that traded yes,but some moves are locked from the DLC
if i recall
just updated munchstats. my new munchlax set based off tofu's snorlax set is there lol. not overwhelmingly there but its there lol
think someone else used munchlax but who knows what team they ran
I need to start playing VGC again. Is CSR still okay, or should I try a different team?
CSR actually won a tournament iirc a week ago so yes
Cool deal
It should still be OK
Just run snorlax at that point
it was calm mind set up shadow rider right? or am i confusing that with a diff CSR team
Or you just have bias
Different. Mine is Nasty Plot
def bias
Yea ok, just needed to not make stupid reads
i meant the CSR that won the tour lol
Oh oooops. Sorry, mb
Although snorlax is better if it works then its at the very least not terrible
And i use Zekrom out of bias and interest
So i am not qualified to tell you to not use munch
I'd use Reshiram if there was any viability to it. I adore Reshiram, but it's not a good legendary in this format (Or in general iirc)
Munchlax has slightly higher usage at 1760+ Glicko Rating than Zekrom 😈
Well to be fair Munch has a unique role, Zekrom is kind of like a Miraidon Bolt hybrid
Munchlax is bulkier and slightly stronger than Tofu's Snorlax but less moves and cries to Knock Off and doesn't have access to a real held item.
Wat
Tahts funny
wait u a dev? i feel like i heard this b4 but my memory fails to deliver
no wait youve definitely told me
Your memory doesn’t fail to deliver, it never existed
Look at his about me
It tells you all you need to know about that
I will always vote for your favourite legend
i just wanna see smth challenging 
i had a joke for this but i forgot abt it
A for effort, C for originality
ill take it
am i the only one that kinda wishes there’s an intimidate for SpA
Then there should be AV for physical def
Then again we do have snarl
no like an ability
yeah i made the website MunchStats (I was tired on waiting for Pikalytics to update)
cause we have moves that drop both atk stats
Your website is much better than pikalytics
I could retire thanks to old age, see my grandchildren a few times a year and pikalytics still hasn't updated usage
oh lmao I just realized. Munchlax data is ONLY on 1760 for reg g. I wanna guess it's overall usage was too low for the other weighted ratings but bc 1760 has less Pokemon, Munchlax technically has enough usage to appear
Need advice on a move set for snorlax for doubles fully defensive last ev in hp also thinking thick fat
Tofu actually made a Snorlax set himself
Giratina and Dusk Mane tied?
People here for some reason love Dusk Mane, idk why
Giratina honestly is easier to build than Dusk mane
1.Dusk Mane's Movepool and stats are highly Suggested to be either D-Dance or Weakness Policy
I mean i wouldnt say i love it
its better than origin giratina tho.
Just stating why i voted for it lol
Its different
but at least usable different
its a worse Solgaleo but i can see
Giratina's Offenses are just Sad
and suffering Mixed Attacker Syndrome does not help
Yeah
Standard Giratina (Giratina-Origin) @ Griseous Core
Ability: Levitate

Tera Type: Steel
EVs: 132 HP / 252 Atk / 60 Def / 60 SpD / 4 Spe

I kinda experimented the set here but EVs are not decided
Kyurem white and ho oh arent terrible choices either if you wanna go something different than meta
just playing VGC hard mode lol
Ho-Oh being a Stall and Defensive Mon but with actual Offenses
Kyuren White is either rain or Snow
next to ting lu pretty alright
hooh is actually easier to pilot than kyurem W based on my experience
well i know one of the members here are still hating that Ho-Oh Team
fire flying hits a lot
just that its a bit weird that the typing is also a bit off since it got hit a lot with neutral
even CIR hits neutral glacial
sure you can't hit rock types but outside of Hisuian Arcanine and Glimmora,idk if T-Tar is gonna be here
yeah fs
so yeah Ho-Oh is more scot-free on this and its only need to worry about Kyogre and Miraidon
and it does not matter cuz Sure Koraidon has Flare Blitz but if you let it Un Tera,Brave Bird to the face
🔥Ho-Oh VGC rental team🔥

#Pokemon #VGC #RegG
oh thats a cool team
Saw this on twitter the other day
protect
ah okok
I am yeah
thats nice,
i used AV Hooh
yeah i thought it looked pretty cool
AV doesnt seem bad either
boosting an already monstrous SpD
i think the one thing i hate with AV that i cant heal back or protect
even if im tanky, its like im jsut a sandbag
technically can by switching out but momentum
yeah
yeah fs hmm
Fire/Flying
Pressure, Regenerator (Hidden)
106/130/90/110/154/90
680
In the same speed tier as kyu where it feels like they need TW
Me who plays Zekrom:
honestly this looks cool
like its not heavy stall
Yeah I figured I’d throw your way if you ever visit Ho oh
idk where u get the idea of hooh = stall
just because its tanky i dont think u can consider it as stall
its not stall
Is Zamazenta REALLY that good now?
I can't stand going through the Shield story anymore.
ho-oh just tanky
yes it is that good
The story is so BAD
I've been doing that for the past 10 hours
well, just keep at it
just keep mashing the A key while playing another game
fr
Zamazenta > A majority of restricteds
My sister has like 100 hours on Shield. I tried asking her how she managed to play the game without wanting to drown herself. She goes "I just ignored it"
The more people like you say that, the less likely it is to happen. Just a side note.
Can someone help me plz? I'm currently building a team centered around chesnaught RN and I need opinions on what to change. DM me if you can
im ngl
Chesnaught is kinda.... mid
I'll save it in my files
I have several pokemon i want to do and its not super easy to decide it, yes what you are saying is true
Zekrom comes to mind first
should i make Weakness Policy Dusk Mane or Clear Amulet with Coaching
then play zekrom
2nd Terapagos, 3rd Specs Kyogre and 4th Zama
Torrent, if you can help Regice see success, I'm sure you can help Chesnaught find success as well
I believe in you
chesnaught sucks
it just dies
I'm doing a tera rock belly drum set
Snow regice can be a wall
Sure Bulletproof is a good ability but its just quad weak to flying and its just worst Kommo-O,Zamazenta and Hisuian Goodra
But the issue is the stats and movepool
i rather use Body Press
And typing
Torrent designed mine to be a cancerous Tailwind Snow sweeper.
I kind of wish it got unburden
ability is fine but typing is just nope-
Chesnaught or Regice? Because Regice would be even worse with unburden
i think what chesnaught can do is to be a Body Press user
but then again 3 pokemon already have that
Zamazenta,Kommo-o and H-Goodra
Zamazenta can win tournaments easily, Kommo-O is a great tera abuser and annoying to take down and H-goodra blocks crits, very specially bulky and slow which helps it in tr
also if Belly Drum i recommend Azumarill
Also you forgot to mention Registeel but it isn't that common rn
K heres chesnaught itself, +speed -spatk nature, random evs in both defences and attack tera rock, sitrus berry, its moves are spiky shield, grassy glide( because im using rillaboom with it for priority after belly drum), belly drum and drain punch
Don't do random evs
Better to calc them so that way you are more prepared
I'll make a set for it i used all 3 Kalos Starters
could you use mine or are you going with body press?
i'll use mine cuz Body Press set > Belly Drum Set
if you want to use regice use articuno
the whole reason im making the team is just to see chesnaught do decently as its my favouriote pokemon
Dang. I thought Bulletproof affected moonblast. In which case it could potentially annoy Flutter Mane.
tera steel chesnaught handles flutter mane
Regice > Articuno
no, just, no

w worst typing
@main spade i think this could work
you're not a good ice sweeper if you're not doing any damage
I think Ice Bird has worse typing but the ability really helped it on the long run
it wouldnt be overpowered if it was fairy steel

Won't stop me from winning with Regice 
good 4 u
Gen 8 is just-
Very not balanced with how they make Legendaries
oh how we've grown
problem is theres too many of them allowed IMO
only 2-3 are not good
Zamazenta(Gen 8 bad,Great in gen 9),Galarian Articuno and Regidrago(Good in Gen 9)
i mean its interesting how the meta changes, im quite a fan of power creep ngl
slowly pacing up stronger mons
its restricted Format right now deal with it
they werent allowd for quite a bit
i'm kinda neutral but i get what you mean
Cooking while typing is more difficult than struggling through Shield's main storyline
Not that its just that its only restrictive to some legendaries, plus theres no parado x limits either
i mean not really
There are lots of No Paradox and Legendaries are viable in VGC
paradox also werent allowed at some point
Reg B,the calm before the storm honestly
Peace if our time
i mean i didnt play compet back then so i got no idea what it was like
if you wanna play when there are less mons allowed go play reg a
but i can imagine lots of psyspam
one of the worst formats i've ever played
Dozo Giri moment?
half the reason i hate dozo so much is because of reg a
honestly true,i start at reg b and i hate it
how dopp i do that, time machine?
i think itll become a little less volatile when it becomes double restricted
i think
I wanted to say that you are wrong but then i remembered that i hate Reg B so much just because of flutter mane iron bundle and Armadeedee
HO in this format doesnt feel very health, games are fast paced
reg b also sucked but it wasn't worse than a imo
everyone tryna sweep
needing a dozo counter is just, bleh
Whats everyones favourite starter? You obviously know mine but what about the rest of you?
i dont know urs
Emboar is mine
thats just how restricteds are
Yours is Chesnaught
they're power houses and that just means kills happen very very fast
ig
HO meta isnt unhealthy imo
i find it boring
its just fast paced
Good choice, really sucks that he's bad though, i wish he was more bulk focused

theres no 1 mon just absolutely dominating the format and there's interesting things you can do with new mons, like how pelipper and mienshao picked up in usage
why they do emboar so dirty with the defence
I just got beaten by an EQ tera ground Ray with upper hand Hawlucha and an orthworm
Greninja
And i did not even bother using it in SV due to Protean Nerf and Flutter Mane just exists
pretty sure meinshao usage dropped once reg settled down
They gave it the Excadrill treatment
used to be meow but playing ranked with it was fun
still something to consider
High HP but bad defenses
I know, the mans a caseoh level sumo wrestler and they gave him special attack?
true
you wouldn't consider mienshao in reg f
i want to make Greninja an Offensive Taunt user but Flutter Mane Exists
fast paced is fine
thats like saying caly-shadow cant be used cause of booster flutter
Here's a disturbing fact for you the heaviest starter isnt chesnaught, emboar or torterra, its skeledirge at 700LBS somehow
i think its unhealthy if 1 mon is just absolutely dominating the meta
this meta feels diverse
Agreed
well duh
lots of things are viable and capable of winning events
Greninja speed is 122,Flutter is 135.
There is no shot Greninja can do something
Or 2 (tornshifu for example)
i mean currently Umbreon seen some play and so does Gothitelle
Anyone else believe in dark bear suppremacy?
u can work round it, there are more obvious reasons why greninja sucks rn

Single strike is good just, rapid is better
I like you have a cupcake
Right now at least
look at how fucking frail it is-
Like i would say FLutter has better bulk at this point
dark is more versatile rn
Which I thought single would pick up in usage because of shadow rider
Excuse me how?
anybody here play living he- uuh pokemon unite?
I just realized that my Koraidon rental i deleted has rain dance tornadus
Gane has fallen off so hard
I dont
i can make Sash Greninja
Rapid is more versatile
i disagree
i hate it-
I don't think that's a problem
Ok how do you define versatile
I played it
more options via moveset, and items that work with it
I dropped the game because my competitive team also dropped it
Trusting TiMi was one of the worst decisions TPF (the pokemon fuckers) made
Yeah the devs of that game really just dont like it, plus they are so braindead. Hey guys lets make a dead tree bulky and this giant metal dinosaur fragile
Ok so, no
Dark ursh only runs band/sash
What single strike can run like, poison jab ig
i'll try make Sash Greninja for no reason 
Single runs band/sash and sometimes scarf
Rapid can run all of those plus mystic water and goggles
true occasional scarf
So because rapid shifus are mostly scarf single strike is more versatile? That doesn’t make sense
top for RS is sahs, mystic water and sash ofc

Don't ask why Haze is here,its for stat drops
wait Where the fuck is water Shuriken-
i never wanna see that set again
running goggles for the first time ever and honestly isnt too bad
Hows my man hydreigon doing at the moment?
thats why it sucks so badly in SV, i can't do anything
Ignoring amoonguss is really nice
i belive SS typing also helps
Rapid at least has no common resistances
without STAB*
Your stabs matter more on an urshifu
Not good
oh noooo
I hate flutter mane
Most shifus want the signature then priority then close combat
I hate everything thats good basically
i mean posion tera exists for defensive and offesive with pjab
And depending on your set you probably need u-turn if you’re going a choice item
Good synergy in being able to be part of FWG cores
Single strike does also struggle to fit in teams
Sure, but who’s running that rn
How did Hydreigon fall off?
Mienshao @ Focus Sash
Ability: Inner Focus

Does this Mienshao works
i really disagree with priority on choice mons, ur barely gonna use that move so better to make it useful
Dark dragon just sucks into fairies
They’re useful
me-
Sometimes you generally need them to win
and with Flutter and Now Zacian here,Hydreigon just dies
Flutter Mane became legal since reg B
Aqua jet in the back has been critical in games
Even on choice mons priority is valuable
purely engame
Just that lol
Yeah, the misdreavus in drag really has him in a chokehold
Yea and that matters
engame AND ow hp, doesnt happen too often
Happens enough
eh not to me really
Thanks for the info looks sick
I still don’t think that single strike being more versatile is valid
i agree
And Moon
Especially noting how much usage rapid gets rn
Moon shares the same typing as Hydreigon
Even with bolt fairly consistently being second in usage
252+ Atk Choice Band Urshifu Wicked Blow vs. 252 HP / 12 Def Prism Armor Necrozma-Dusk-Mane on a critical hit: 193-229 (94.6 - 112.2%) -- 68.8% chance to OHKO

I stg if you say what I think you’re about to say
resists on it are nice tbh
does Dusk Mane+Mienshao+Flutter Mane sound meh
Yea rapid shifu has a better defensive and offensive typing
You get more resists
And you’re not 4x weak to fairy
which fairy type attack is it living anyway?
Was dark bear better then water bear in gen 8?
Rapid can live gleam from flutter
its mostly Rapid i think
with 0 investments???
It's just a twin thing one does better than the other
Yes
stop give me moments when i have to deal with Twins
Not from specs from booster speed
36 SpA Flutter Mane Dazzling Gleam vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Urshifu-Rapid Strike: 134-162 (76.5 - 92.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Are electivire, magmortar or rhyperior any good at the moment?
true it can even live 252
WAIT,
Does Fast Dusk Mane work
Rhyperior is decent, electivire and magmortar are worse than their pre evos
ik im just saying
It’s not, just, rapid is more versatile
Single is the worse form rn, but it still has a place
i don't know if Dusk Mane+Coaching Mienshao and Flutter Sounds
why do I try
like its not bad

but rs is more versatile and commonly on teams other than ss
It’s also slapable
oh wait u mean as in usage on teams?
It’s harder to slot single
like i think Single Strike is more like slap on Sun Teams
Its almost like you build around single
grass fire water core is everything in this game
I think im probably not gonna get into competitive, I try to win with my favourites so. Yeah im not destined to win anything, but it was fun chatting with you guys
that helps him a lot
nope not really
its just useful for balance
its a bonus
Tell that to Wolfey
Sun teams and Ive seen it on hard TR teams
rapid strike is just rly nice as a fast offence for caly-s, also helps with pagos
i tried a Lunala Team and i got second without touching Urshifu that much-
Fwg is good on most teams
like Dawn Wings or Lunala,they love it
i mean when is it not good
I have goggles rs on my lunala team rn
Idk you just said it isn’t good
i feel like u can slot fwg into any team
?
bro i said its not "everything"
It’s most things
I like fwg cores
i still have Scarf RS on my Lunala Team but I think its doable since i got second with it
as in u can make a viable and winning team without it
And you then proceed to say “it’s only good for balance”
Building Dusk Mane ;-;

oh boi i hate it already
good luck
i meant to say the core is mainly used for balance, thats mb
Ig, my eyes hurt I need to take a nap
rn i made a core of Dusk Mane,Flutter Mane and Mienshao
interesting
eh, anyway
idk why but the team sounds very, idk
like wheres the speed tier?
seems weak to stronger HO
Dusk Mane is so damn hard to build-
https://pokepast.es/a45b6405a4e7bc09 so, uh, I’d like suggestions for a 6th to try out. I’ve tried incin chi yu and umbreon they just haven’t felt right
like if you see the movepool you understand why i am struggling to find any stuff
still cooking with zac huh
i have one idea but its stupid, Iron Hands?
there are some Clear Amulet Hands as well
Why wouldn’t I be? I have NAIC next week
lando-I?
the reason i said Iron Hands cuz of TR Mode
Maybe Bolt is also good
You already use fighting with hands
lando I, hands, uh
And not dragon
also likes rain, and zacian helps with its quad ice weakness, It's also great into Incineroar and with sludge bomb tera poison pretty good into Rillaboom and Clefairy
Zac just deals with like
the team looks like it loses to clefairy csr
i think snarl helps ur team
Raging Bolt looks good in your team, i think
Shifu complements with being able to remove incin and other fire/ground/steel types
Bolt isn’t getting access to av
So I’ve been hesitant on bolt
Doesn't need AV to shine
for that team looks like it does
AV is best but there are other options
my point still stands with csr wiping
Av would be the item choice on this team
Hands and Bolt don't need AV to shine yeah
I just have to play damage trades
Comp chat be funny sometimes looking at some burnt takes
And the 3 dark types I’ve tried didn’t work
clefairy?
Fine, here's dark type #4
Just click buttons
Anyways, here's Wonderwall
If they lead incin I Tera ghost and remove it or just go straight for CSR
so theres chien pao on the team
Yes
does rilla NEED av? Or can it be a bit offensive there
I do NOT need another physical attacker
and give AV slot to smth else
I have av for a reason, I’m not getting rid of it
ok
Or I’d prefer not to
I really like Bolt here
If I have a team with bolt and rilla rilla is getting the av
Lando I seems to be the only option-
yeah seems great there
Landorus is good
I made a good suggestion, good luck with prep for NAIC
Against Clefairy with SB
strong spatck to for intim cycle, massive zama threat ect
