Hi Tofu

mighty stump
#

Iron Moth is a fraud

solid frigate
willow vault
#

Ok

mighty stump
#

Who was that mono-Bug guy

#

What was that about

willow vault
#

Don’t know

cyan smelt
#

not sure that the mono-bug team could handle most restricteds tbh

willow vault
#

Neither but they seemed to be playing for fun more than anything so I didn’t want to push a comp agenda

cyan smelt
#

yeah but claiming that their team could handle most restricteds is misinformation

willow vault
#

I didn’t read that but that would be misinformation

cyan smelt
#

also it was low ladder stuff too

willow vault
#

Yeah

cyan smelt
#

but eh let people play the game how they want to

bold geode
#

If so, yeah he does

Reminder for @mighty stump

Reminder from YAGPDB

check rental

warped mason
#

Switch moth and jug.

dull ibex
#

hello

#

im enjoying the good stuffs team

strange fjord
#

The stuff is good

#

Man, Shiny Iron Thorns is cool but damn its so bad to use NOOO

autumn vault
#

If it didn't have electric in it's type and something that synergizes with rock then it wouldn't be that bad

#

I would have liked Dragon/Rock

#

I have a Shiny Valiant that i wan't to use eventually

#

Here is my tier list on the paradox pokemon

strange fjord
#

I can at least see how Sandy Shocks or Iron Threads can be viable but man. Iron Thorns is just not it rn

autumn vault
#

Sandy Shocks with gravity atleast helps Groudon

cyan smelt
#

i wish slither wing was better

autumn vault
#

And Treads walls bolt and Miraidon with AV

strange fjord
#

Iron Thorns is too fast for TR and too slow to outspeed 135 Pokemon with a +1 max speed

cyan smelt
#

iron thorns is just a worse ttar

strange fjord
#

And TTar isn't that great rn either

autumn vault
#

Slither wing is a worse Volcarona

cyan smelt
#

at least ttar has weather to make up for it

strange fjord
#

I just want to use cool looking Shiny Iron Thorns

autumn vault
#

Brute Bonnet is a worse amoonguss

autumn vault
#

And unlike with the other violet paradoxes it actually fits Thorns and Valiant

cyan smelt
#

it'd be nice if most of the scarlet paradoxes weren't weak to fairy at the same time they introduced one of the most powerful fairies

autumn vault
#

Agree

#

The only Past paradoxes that aren't weak to flutter mane are Shocks and Gouging fire

#

Only Gouging has a good MU into it

cyan smelt
#

gouging can outspeed

autumn vault
#

The others either can't do enough damage to it or are weak to it

cyan smelt
#

and shocks is too slow to be able to do damage to it

autumn vault
cyan smelt
#

it gets flash cannon but flutter is specially bulky

warped mason
#

As much as id like walking wake to be A, i don't think its on that level.

autumn vault
#

252 SpA Life Orb Sandy Shocks Flash Cannon vs. 172 HP / 4 SpD Flutter Mane: 88-107 (57.8 - 70.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Thats with Life Orb

#

252 SpA Sandy Shocks Flash Cannon vs. 172 HP / 4 SpD Flutter Mane: 68-82 (44.7 - 53.9%) -- 41.4% chance to 2HKO

cyan smelt
#

and with shocks you need to sacrifice spa to get the speed boost

#

or make it timid ig

autumn vault
#

252 SpA Life Orb Tera-Steel Sandy Shocks Flash Cannon vs. 172 HP / 4 SpD Flutter Mane: 133-159 (87.5 - 104.6%) -- 18.8% chance to OHKO

cyan smelt
#

you have to question what they're smoking when they keep making these overpowered pokemon

autumn vault
#

Yup

autumn vault
# cyan smelt you have to question what they're smoking when they keep making these overpowere...

252+ SpA Choice Specs Hadron Engine Tera-Electric Miraidon Helping Hand Electro Drift vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Tera Shell Terapagos-Terastal in Electric Terrain: 231-272 (114.3 - 134.6%) -- guaranteed OHKO
252 SpA Choice Specs Tera-Water Kyogre Helping Hand Water Spout (150 BP) vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Tera Shell Terapagos-Terastal in Rain: 221-261 (109.4 - 129.2%) -- guaranteed OHKO
Yeah you really have to sometimes

strange fjord
#

technically, clodsire survives both those attacks

cyan smelt
#

tinkaton- has an op signature move but 75 attack because they didn't want to make another zacian, also gamefreak makes a monster with 135 base sp attack with a similar signature move

#

also gamefreak, gives moonblast to one of the most powerful fairies

craggy dagger
#

hm?

cyan smelt
#

bm ursa blood moon and flutter mane moonblast

autumn vault
#

They didn't give Valiant Play Rough but they gave Flutter Mane Moonblast for some reason

#

He looks like he is trying to eat something golden ngl

cyan smelt
#

what's the bp on spirit break

autumn vault
#

A bit underwhelming in BP

#

Atleast it lowers the target's SpA by one stage

cyan smelt
#

yeah moves with an additional effect tend to have lower bp

craggy dagger
#

flare blitz-

#

blizzard, bolt strike, blue flare, sacred fire

#

moonblast-

cyan smelt
#

i mean stuff that always drops a stat stage

craggy dagger
#

oh like guaranteed

cyan smelt
#

yeah should've worded it better

craggy dagger
#

sacred fire is a (theoretical) coin flip-

huh

cyan smelt
#

the ceruledge one

solid frigate
#

ik which one

craggy dagger
#

cause it’s been formatted properly no?

solid frigate
#

its not

craggy dagger
solid frigate
#

just look at the rental teams

craggy dagger
#

i’m missing something aren’t i

mighty stump
cyan smelt
#

no rental code and no notes about how to use it

#

yes i saw the reminder earlier

mighty stump
#

Ok thanks

#

Gone

solid frigate
#

idk what happened to the team-

craggy dagger
#

oh there has to be a write up

solid frigate
cyan smelt
#

seemed like you had to learn how to use the team via inference

mighty stump
#

I dont mind if its barebones

#

I just thinks its a very egregious mistake

#

Following the format is jn the pins and can be inferred from rentals above

#

Its why I gave only a few hours

#

If it was minor id give longer

autumn vault
#

Whats also odd is that Rai made rentals with all the information before

#

Don't know why this time they forgot it

solid frigate
#

let alone top 600

autumn vault
#

What was the team comp? I only remember Terapagos and Ceruledge

#

I would only send rentals if they helped me get to Master Rank or from 1000 elo to 1400 elo

solid frigate
solid frigate
#

and its Meteor Beam Pagos.

autumn vault
#

I still remember the YUseMeta? team

#

That composition is quite terrible

solid frigate

I played some Meteor Beam terapagos

So i have an idea on how it works

#

Planning to make a Meteor Beam rental of Terapagos as the next rental

#

And since all my exams are finished this gives me a lot of time to make progress on the rental

#

You made CM rentals

solid frigate
autumn vault
#

And i might also make a CS Terapagos rental

#

And unlike Rai's team mine reaching 1400 elo is actually believable

solid frigate
#

yeah i am sticking with Calm Mind

solid frigate
autumn vault
#

Nice

solid frigate
craggy dagger
autumn vault
solid frigate
#

i have higher elo but your consistency is better

craggy dagger

i can be serious

Anyways i will reach 1400 elo with terapagos CS

though steel coat dengo was a bit overkill

autumn vault

Yes it is

The water whale is adorable when not at max hp

Leftovers is very good on dengo rn

maybe the Mythicals as well

some of them are cute

also i just saw that previous rai team and that made my brain hurt

i’m here to spread baby lugia propaganda before i actually sleep

[Message](#rental_teams message) in #rental_teams
looking for a miraidon dm me i can offer

autumn vault
#

Clear Amulet doesn't seem that good on gouging

#

What i want to use is AV Groudon + Howl Gouging Fire

cyan smelt
#

booster energy?

autumn vault

#

I am going to need Raging Bolt and Flutter Mane for that team

#

And some non-sun reliant pokemon

cyan smelt
#

rillaboom

autumn vault
#

Not sure about an extra ice weakness

#

I am already planning to use Groudon Gouging Bolt FLutter

#

Thats 2 ice weaknesses already

#

I will find some ice resists for the last ones

cyan smelt
#

isn't CIR the only ice type you have to worry about

timber dome
#

I need help makeing a trickroom team

autumn vault
#

And in TR groudon can't counter it as easily

cyan smelt
#

I don't like csr

summer shore
#

Ping

#

Who ping

autumn vault
#

Me, someone messaged something in Rental Teams and it wasn't related to a rental

#

Someone deleted that message

autumn vault
autumn vault
willow vault
#

You have double av on the team

autumn vault
#

I see

#

Well bolt can run something else i guess

willow vault
#

Also what’s your Incineroar counter, since av Groudon does not like it

#

Or should I say what’s the game plan vs an Incineroar on a balance team constantly switching in and out?

autumn vault
#

I'm playing a match rn, i will think about that later

#

I have to focus against this Solgaleo team

willow vault
#

Ok

autumn vault
#

I can spam Gouging Fire Howl for Groudon to later OHKO it with Precipice Blades

#

And i can also brute force it with Raging Bolt and Flutter Mane

cyan smelt
#

damn they're making caly-s bulky now

autumn vault
cyan smelt
#

exactly

autumn vault
#

But they're not prepared for Tera Water Rain Surging Strikes

#

Probably not

cyan smelt
#

this one was

#

the game i just watched it lived tera water rain surging strikes

#

i think

#

idk if that's possible

autumn vault
#

Me too

#

I will post a rental of it in a week

cyan smelt
#

damn terapagos is bulky

mighty stump
cyan smelt
#

just watched a game and someone forgot how weezing worked, their ting lu used eq next to dialga and koed it lmao

#

this was someone with 1482 elo

mighty stump
#

Including myself I’m questioning everyone that isn’t top 10 on the ladder atp

autumn vault
#

Ik tofu

#

Just glad to know that my Specs terapagos team can function properly

mighty stump
#

I need to go grind out Bo3 ladder again

#

So much effort

#

So little time

autumn vault
#

Relatable

cyan smelt
#

and in this match i watched then someone terad their landorus into fairy in front of a parabolic charge miraidon

autumn vault
#

Shouldn't have tera'd there

cyan smelt
#

the person who terad lando into fairy was 1615 elo

autumn vault
#

The person that tera'd metagross into ground was one from ultra ball tier

cyan smelt
#

maybe they were expecting the draco meteor on lando

autumn vault
#

true

#

Mistakes happen

#

But still i wouldn't tera there

sharp cobalt
#

But they might make those mistakes DracthyrShrug

cyan smelt
#

better to force it to lower its spa than wipe you

autumn vault
cyan smelt
#

no, no tw

autumn vault
#

252 SpA Life Orb Sheer Force Landorus Earth Power vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Miraidon: 213-252 (121 - 143.1%) -- guaranteed OHKO

cyan smelt
#

they had caly-i as their restricted

autumn vault
#

252 SpA Life Orb Sheer Force Landorus Sandsear Storm vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Miraidon: 174-211 (98.8 - 119.8%) -- 93.8% chance to OHKO

cyan smelt
#

so maybe they wanted to set up tr

#

the opponent was behind light screen i think

autumn vault
#

If there was tailwind i wouldn't tera but terastalizing there was a good play

#

Just that the opponent killed it with Parabolic charge ruining the predict

cyan smelt
#

parabolic charge miraidon is messed up

#

so strong after cm boost

cyan smelt
#

i'm wondering if i should put tera ground chi-yu on my team to replace ting lu

cyan smelt
#

it makes sense to me more because it synergises well with flutter, can deal with miraidon and incin and since i have sunny day that boosts it

#

also thinking bout getting rid of foul play on torn and running taunt

chrome knot
#

what is your team

cyan smelt
#

i'll grab a paste

chrome knot
#

what the fuck is that

#

firstly taunt icy wind sets usually find 1 of the 3 big stabs to keep and then run protect as last bc staying power with that set is important, secondly while foul play on torn is cute it seems a little too flashy considering banded tinglu is not the smartest thing ever and can easily be scarf chi yu instead

#

or even like chien pao can go there to support zam

cyan smelt
#

oh that's not meant to be banded ting lu, that's meant to be rocky helm

chrome knot
#

tinglu also nerfs half ur team lol

cyan smelt
#

yeah it's not working so well

#

even when it was rocky helmet it wasn't so good

timber falcon
cyan smelt
#

your team doesn't like kyogre

#

also it might struggle against koraidon teams as well

chrome knot
#

think i saw a team similar on naic stream

#

except koraidon

timber falcon
#

Though I haven’t had too many games against it

cyan smelt
#

i was just thinking manual rain and archaludon that's all

#

lol someone has already ripped the overqwil team

#

(i'm watching you play someone rn)

graceful flare
#

Should I run parabolic charge miraidon with torn

timber falcon
#

I really thought that I would kill that lando there

#

Knew I should’ve tera watered

timber falcon
graceful flare
#

O yea your right

#

If I run rain dance on torn I can't have protect

timber falcon
#

I mean maybe you could run tera ground

graceful flare
#

What abt whimsicott

#

Can it learn rain dance

timber falcon
#

Sadly no

molten oasis
#

No

timber falcon
#

Also why do you want rain?

graceful flare
#

Bc I want to use archaludon

molten oasis
#

Tornadus

timber falcon
#

I’m not seeing the synergy

timber falcon
#

I think you should just run peli atp

#

Also has wide guard

molten oasis
#

At that point why are you running Archaludon

timber falcon
#

Rain is not really needed for moraidon teams

molten oasis
#

Archaludon wants to be on a rain team

graceful flare
molten oasis
timber falcon
#

Made a mistake

molten oasis
#

Figured lol

timber falcon
molten oasis
graceful flare
#

Haven't run it once

timber falcon
#

I think you should try it

molten oasis
#

Or water spout, or glacial lance, or discharge, etc

timber falcon
#

Comes in handy for lots of common moves

#

Even snarl and icy wind

molten oasis
#

Struggle bug too

graceful flare
#

Yeah but I mean whenever I see a wide guard mon I just don't click spread moves

timber falcon
#

I’m talking about you using the wide guard mon

graceful flare
#

I can easily play around it to they should be able to aswell

timber falcon
#

Nothing wrong with playing it safe

#

What you’re doing is a guessing game there

molten oasis
#

Are you playing in high or low ladder

timber falcon
#

I’ve had many moments even after I revealed wide guard they click spread, it pins the mon into using wide guard

graceful flare
#

Ok then if I need wide guard I use speed boost iron valiant focus sah

molten oasis
#

cyan smelt
#

ok i'm gonna try my new team on bo3

molten oasis
#

ig that’s fine for a Mirai team

timber falcon
molten oasis
#

I don’t think valiant is good however, just seems eh

timber falcon
#

I mean on moraidon team I can see it working

graceful flare
#

It has 4 moves syndrome

timber falcon
#

That’s for singles is it not?

#

Where it runs so many different sets

molten oasis
#

You’re killing me calling it moraidon

timber falcon
graceful flare
#

Idk I seen a guy talking abt it his channel was xbell

timber falcon
#

Idk why I even spelled it like that

molten oasis
#

Probably not a VGC player

timber falcon
#

Yeah it’s a singles meme

#

The unpredictable iron valiant spreads

molten oasis
#

Valiant has lackluster stats for VGC

graceful flare
#

It's a mixed attacker bro

timber falcon
#

We know

molten oasis
#

Mixed attackers are not typically good in VGC

graceful flare
#

Ok but should I let one of the stats go to waste or spread even

timber falcon
molten oasis
#

Being decent on everything is not better than being really good at a couple things

timber falcon
#

Got a better CC there

molten oasis
#

The biggest example of a mixed attacker rn would probably be Archaludon and imo Archaludon is mostly a special attacker

#

It just usually runs body press

timber falcon
graceful flare
#

Should I run protect?

timber falcon
#

But if you’re running sash I assume it wants to hit as hard as possible, CC is its strongest stab iicr

timber falcon
graceful flare
#

What's iicr

timber falcon
#

If I can remember

graceful flare
#

I think protect wide guard cc moonblast

#

Or spirit break I think it's called

timber falcon
#

No no no don’t run moonblast and CC

graceful flare
#

Intimidate

timber falcon
#

Spirit break is fine

timber falcon
autumn vault
#

Focusing on one stat is better

#

But 2 is ok

#

Plus those stats don't need a lot of investment anyways

molten oasis
#

Speed booster sash Val is max speed max spA or physical Attack

autumn vault
#

Like 252 SpA / 252 Spe / 4 Att

molten oasis
#

Pick an attack stat, don’t use both

timber falcon
# autumn vault Focusing on one stat is better

If it’s a sash set, it’s better to be dishing out moves as hard as possible apart from natures, won’t make sense to run mixed set there, + spirit break helps against special attacks

autumn vault
molten oasis
#

It has better physical attack so maybe do that

timber falcon
#

That too

solid frigate
#

unless you run support move but dunno

timber falcon
#

It’s supposed to be there mainly for wide guard

molten oasis
#

Supportive mons can run mixed but you usually still use your higher damaging move to do stuff

solid frigate
#

mhm

molten oasis
#

And higher attack stat

timber falcon
#

Like those CCs are gonna do some very nice chip

solid frigate
#

trust me i used an Iron Valiant in the DLC story and its good with CCs

autumn vault
#

Sash sets can run mixed sets without too many issues

timber falcon
#

But I don’t think there a good enough reason to do that

#

In this case

autumn vault
#

You hit pokemon at their weaker defensive stat

#

For non-sash i reccomend to focus on only one stat

#

Doesn't make that much sense to nerf one of your defensive stats when you don't have sash to save your ass

autumn vault
cyan smelt
#

i'm getting my ass whooped in bo3

autumn vault
#

Teambuilding/Playing skill issue

#

(jk probably not that)

solid frigate
#

rn Valiant is more supprtive in Reg G

autumn vault
#

Ik that

#

It has several tools for support

#

Wide Guard, Encore, Destiny bond (ig), Taunt, etc.

cyan smelt

bo3 is so hard

solid frigate

Cut me some slack

Any complaints that aren't about 1st and 2nd

I'm just gonna put the regis in one tier

Might do my own of those as well

this gets so hard once you weed out all the shit songs

sigh.

thank god my brain storage on the themes are huge

they really count koraidon/miraidon theme as paradise protocol fuck

#

this makes top tiers alot harder

its a rly good one

I love the dlc2 trailers version of it

autumn vault

The only part where i completely disagree is the placement of the lake trio

solid frigate

YES

like even the weakest is Kieran and Terapagos Theme and i still put it A tier

there isnt a sv song below A tier atm 😭

I’m a lot more accustomed to the newer music and I’m too lazy to go sit through 3 hours or music to remember the others so some are just there based on the other ones I saw

It's honestly hilarious seeing their reaction sometimes

The hot takes are atrocious tho.

autumn vault

But hot takes i believe in

solid frigate

like literally I would put Ogerpon at B at least

#

putting it low C is just insulting-

should i make chi-yu ghost tera instead to avoid fake out

if you say Greninja is good in Reg A i can see why but rn,its a Niche on top of Niche

@chrome knot only a few more hours until regional announcement 🙂

im so excited

#

i also shot justin burns twit dm abt his team, wanting to learn more about it tbh

next stump
#

my friend got COOKED by burns in round 1

#

I do think the ditto variant of Caly-I is probably the strongest right now

chrome knot
#

yeah its an insane team

next stump
#

ditto unironically solves multiple restricted matchups by itself

chrome knot
#

tho his teras and moves are what im questioning

mighty stump
#

Ditto good

next stump
#

like sure they can boost up Caly-S but then they’re screwing themselves over

mighty stump
#

But doesn't solve Terapagos tho

chrome knot
#

yeah its insane team sheet pressure

#

terapagos not aurelien team is relatively easy for cir

next stump
#

Terapagos I think is Caly-I favored overall the more I’ve played it

mighty stump
#

HOPagos is the best variant though

#

Rilly

yeah once the ball starts rolling its hard for terapagos to come back

What Spe would Suica be running on his Pagos?

Is he still running the same 6?

I was running 81SPE caly and he was running like 120 terapagos

lmao

at some point tho ur either cutting attack to be bulk or cutting hp to cover that spe

Ackchually I sold my IVs to a black market dealer who converted it to EVs

Calyrex has one less kidney but 252 more EVs

my speed stat similar to 81 but the evs are still intact for hitting like a truck

#

oh those speed evs could be helpful hm

autumn vault
#

I run T-Punch to OHKO Pelipper

timber falcon
#

yeah i just run torn to help with weather changers

autumn vault
#

I don't run a secondary weathe setter

#

So checking Pelipper is a must

#

I think 2 ways of beating it is enough

timber falcon
#

i think secondary setter is a must tbh, cause in rain groudon has 0 ways of not getting hit by water moves especially for AV

autumn vault
#

And Gouging Supports it a lot

#

And T-Wave Grimmsnarl can slow down powerful threats to be killed by Grudon before doing anything

tranquil kraken
#

whens the broadcast today?

autumn vault
#

Which also helps against pelipper and kyogree

#

Yes i am pronouncing Groudon and Kyogre badly intentionally

mighty stump
#

We still need to finish off PoGo and then I assume TCG

timber falcon
#

eh i feel like kyogre, especially AV is a problem 4 that team

tranquil kraken

is kyogre still a problem for your team OTOT

so groudon might also gets a nice hit in

i managed to OHKO one lol

Did you notice that i said preci__piss__ blades

Thats how you say it if you are from an english country of europe

oh no i didnt poliwhirlkek

but now i learnt how to do that underline thing

autumn vault
#

This will never be forgotten lmao

timber falcon

HOW DID U DO IT SO FAST

autumn vault
#

Idk

#

I am just naturally a fast typer

#

And i also have a quick reaction timing

timber falcon
#

i thought i was smooth with it PikaLmao

autumn vault
#

Anyways so what what is your opinion on fast Groudon?

timber falcon
#

good stuff

autumn vault
#

I run T-Punch to specifically destroy Pelipper and Urshifu-S

#

And outspeeding Pelipper also helps

timber falcon
#

yeah i can see why thats helpull, i might switch rockslide to that

autumn vault
#

Its also much more consistent than Rock Slide

timber falcon
#

true, my idea behind it was for an extra spread option, thats more accurate that pblades

4 SpA Pelipper Weather Ball (100 BP Water) vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Assault Vest Groudon in Rain: 120-144 (57.9 - 69.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
