I love Choice Specs Kyogre

timber falcon
#

Lol

autumn vault
#

Specs Kyogre is so much fun

#

306 SpA from a 150 BP move + STAB + tera + Rain is so much fun

charred saddle
#

oo sing clef is interesting

#

and also covert cloak chiyu

autumn vault
#

I wouldn't want to use a 55% accurate move though

#

Literally 12% of Clefairy run Sing

#

Honestly not surprised

forest arrow
#

sing is such a chad play

#

i could never lol

charred saddle
#

even more of a chad play

#

that u know the chiyu is covert cloaked

#

overheat snarl heatwave taunt

#

no protect KEKWCRY

#

crazy set

forest arrow
#

Yay lunala on stream

forest arrow
forest arrow
#

Pretty sure it doesnt stop spread

south shuttle
#

It does?

mighty stump
#

Sing Clef is used to gamba pressure

mighty stump
charred saddle
#

only redirects single target move

#

water absorb doesnt redirect move.

mighty stump
#

Comp chat 🤝 Misinformation

charred saddle
#

gw ada salah ye? wkkw

#

btw pierluigi brought garganacl

#

incheresting

south shuttle
#

Still a very good move

charred saddle
#

okay

#

holy shit ohko on AV bolt

forest arrow
#

bro lunala with two cm is scaryyyy

charred saddle
#

i mean its +2 tera fairy MB but its so mind boggling

#

yeah

#

pelipper seals the game there very strong

forest arrow
#

yeah fs

charred saddle
#

double protect then weather ball in either slot KOs

forest arrow
#

Garg would be annoying for lunala

#

no shadow shield recovery

mighty stump
#

Org lain bgst aja

charred saddle
#

oh kirain gw yg slh wkkw

mighty stump
#

smph demi allah gw masih disini

charred saddle
mighty stump
#

dah 1/2 mikir cabs aja

charred saddle
#

water tera too, so rilla is stronk

forest arrow
#

youre right lol

charred saddle
#

oo damn reading the no shadball

forest arrow
#

I dont think Pierluigi has shadow ball

charred saddle
#

oh shit right

#

taunt icy wind protect MB

forest arrow
#

SpA drop still big

#

oh it has sash it was surviving anyways

charred saddle
#

heh thats a really bad turn for luigi

#

holy damn joans team is so goddamn annoying

forest arrow
#

Yeah the team just blows up to one thing in particular

#

Kyogre

charred saddle
#

holy shit true

#

prob best is like what

#

grimm rilla?

forest arrow
#

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

charred saddle
#

oh or even like rilla lunala idk

forest arrow
#

They double up peli or partner when trying to wide guard

charred saddle
#

i mean rilla can still take a single bleakwind

#

its AV

forest arrow
#

They just grass Tera and ice beam

#

Just more tricky MU

charred saddle
mighty stump
#

If you have Scarfshifu just SS/CC the Kyogre

charred saddle
#

but joans team dont have that

mighty stump
#

Throw/Mika has been having a shit time w Kyogre

#

WG Pelipper is just free

#

Torn can’t touch it

forest arrow
#

yeah maybe trying to force Lunala to hard

mighty stump
#

Peli/Luna would just get free CM unless you get into Taunt Torn

#

If you see Taunt you just Moongeist the Kyogre

charred saddle
#

hmmm

forest arrow
#

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

charred saddle
#

run sing bruh

#

be the gamba addict

forest arrow
#

I’m not a chad lol

mighty stump
#

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

charred saddle
#

i think throw meant not a chad to me

mighty stump
#

Protect is like, not changing the board state

#

Oh

charred saddle
#

since we just talked about sing as a chad move

forest arrow
#

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

mighty stump
#

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

forest arrow
#

Heal pulse just seems like the play on top of lefties recovery and terrain

lofty tartan
lofty tartan
#

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.

timber falcon
#

man bo3 really is more forgiving

cyan smelt
#

no muk smeargle in bo3 either

timber falcon
#

and u get more than one chance against an MU

#

so gimmicks normally can be worked around

next stump
#

it’s the superior game mode

autumn vault
#

The one that takes skill

#

And not the one that uses gimmicky teams to climb sky high

cyan smelt
#

it helps you identify weaknesses in your team too i think

What would be the best

autumn vault
#

Also deoxys Speed

Or just a support pokemon with stealth rock

next stump
#

Iron Valiant on Caly-I for the Miraidon matchup is crazyyy

oh boi Scream Tail + Raging Bolt-

autumn vault
solid frigate
#

my PTSD-

timber falcon
#

oh then 100% try testing

autumn vault
#

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

timber falcon
#

oh, surprise factor mochige

cyan smelt
#

i'm still annoyed that there's no way to tell which urshifu it is

solid frigate
#

also Pagos Pairing with Scream Tail and Bolt

timber falcon
#

fr its a guessing game, and having durshifu on a rain team for bo1 is vile

solid frigate
#

but they don't for SOME REASON

cyan smelt
#

the only way to tell is by item really

#

but idt that cart shows you the item

autumn vault
solid frigate
#

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

I just like the healing

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

at some point will mythicals be alowed in vgc?

Or the best to build a team around?

mighty stump

Calys, Miraidon, Terapagos, Zamazenta.

jovial storm
#

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.

mighty stump

Calyrex requires a very specific setup.

Most of the restricted formulas feel almost set in stone.

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

autumn vault
#

Finished

mighty stump
#

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?

autumn vault

As long as its a rental

#

Or trading

Doesn't it get Spiky Shield?

Sure Bulletproof is a good ability but its just quad weak to flying and its just worst Kommo-O,Zamazenta and Hisuian Goodra

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

autumn vault

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

solid frigate
#

also if Belly Drum i recommend Azumarill

autumn vault

Also you forgot to mention Registeel but it isn't that common rn

main spade
#

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

autumn vault

Better to calc them so that way you are more prepared

I'll make a set for it i used all 3 Kalos Starters

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

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?

Ok how do you define versatile

more options via moveset, and items that work with it

Dark ursh only runs band/sash

What single strike can run like, poison jab ig

solid frigate
molten oasis

Single runs band/sash and sometimes scarf

#

Rapid can run all of those plus mystic water and goggles

timber falcon

All im saying, rapid strike scarf usage is 50% rn

#

sash for SS is 42%

autumn vault
#

I love Band Urshifu

#

I delete things

forest arrow

So because rapid shifus are mostly scarf single strike is more versatile? That doesn’t make sense

I still don’t think that single strike being more versatile is valid

then again drago

ik im just saying

No you don’t eat a moonblast

What shifu that isn’t av lives that

timber falcon

also i dont think this convo gonna get us anywhere poliwhirlkek

sure doesnt feel like it

molten oasis

It’s not, just, rapid is more versatile

#

Single is the worse form rn, but it still has a place

timber falcon

and yes im stubborn af

#

so i stand by my belief

forest arrow
#

you are

#

cause point stands

solid frigate
#

i don't know if Dusk Mane+Coaching Mienshao and Flutter Sounds

molten oasis
#

why do I try

forest arrow
#

like its not bad

timber falcon
forest arrow
#

but rs is more versatile and commonly on teams other than ss

molten oasis
#

It’s also slapable

timber falcon
#

oh wait u mean as in usage on teams?

molten oasis
#

It’s harder to slot single

solid frigate
forest arrow

Its almost like you build around single

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

timber falcon

its just useful for balance

solid frigate

its a bonus

bro i said its not "everything"

molten oasis

It’s most things

willow vault

as in u can make a viable and winning team without it

molten oasis

eh, anyway

solid frigate

and Clefairy for support

like wheres the speed tier?

seems weak to stronger HO

solid frigate

like if you see the movepool you understand why i am struggling to find any stuff

still cooking with zac huh

i think maybe smth with defiant slots in well

solid frigate
molten oasis
willow vault
#

lando-I?

timber falcon

that works

#

strong spatck needed

solid frigate
#

the reason i said Iron Hands cuz of TR Mode

autumn vault
#

You already use fighting with hands

molten oasis
#

lando I, hands, uh

autumn vault
#

And not dragon

willow vault
#

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

molten oasis
#

Zac just deals with like

timber falcon
#

the team looks like it loses to clefairy csr

molten oasis
#

Dragons that shifu hates

#

Ice types that torn hates

#

Bolt

timber falcon
#

i think snarl helps ur team

autumn vault
#

Raging Bolt looks good in your team, i think

molten oasis
#

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

autumn vault
#

Doesn't need AV to shine

timber falcon
#

for that team looks like it does

autumn vault
#

AV is best but there are other options

timber falcon
#

my point still stands with csr wiping

molten oasis
#

Av would be the item choice on this team

solid frigate
#

Hands and Bolt don't need AV to shine yeah

molten oasis
bold geode
#

Comp chat be funny sometimes looking at some burnt takes

And the 3 dark types I’ve tried didn’t work

timber falcon
molten oasis

Urshifu pao

bold geode
molten oasis
#

Just click buttons

bold geode
#

Anyways, here's Wonderwall

molten oasis
#

If they lead incin I Tera ghost and remove it or just go straight for CSR

timber falcon
#

so theres chien pao on the team

molten oasis
#

Yes

timber falcon
#

does rilla NEED av? Or can it be a bit offensive there

molten oasis
#

I do NOT need another physical attacker

timber falcon
#

and give AV slot to smth else

molten oasis
#

I have av for a reason, I’m not getting rid of it

timber falcon
#

ok

molten oasis
#

Or I’d prefer not to

autumn vault
#

I really like Bolt here

molten oasis
#

If I have a team with bolt and rilla rilla is getting the av

solid frigate
#

Lando I seems to be the only option-

timber falcon
#

yeah seems great there

autumn vault
#

Landorus is good

willow vault
#

I made a good suggestion, good luck with prep for NAIC

molten oasis
#

bolt and lando, idk what lando helps with

#

Mu wise

autumn vault

Against Clefairy with SB

molten oasis
#

I have my lines into miraidon already

Ok lando explodes pretty fast to CSR
