Gameplay
Hi Tofu
Iron Moth is a fraud
I'll use both
Ok
Don’t know
not sure that the mono-bug team could handle most restricteds tbh
Neither but they seemed to be playing for fun more than anything so I didn’t want to push a comp agenda
yeah but claiming that their team could handle most restricteds is misinformation
I didn’t read that but that would be misinformation
also it was low ladder stuff too
Yeah
but eh let people play the game how they want to
Hey Tofu
Didn't you say earlier that Edu looks more happy or something?
If so, yeah he does
Reminder for @mighty stump
check rental
Switch moth and jug.
Sad
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
I can at least see how Sandy Shocks or Iron Threads can be viable but man. Iron Thorns is just not it rn
Sandy Shocks with gravity atleast helps Groudon
i wish slither wing was better
And Treads walls bolt and Miraidon with AV
Iron Thorns is too fast for TR and too slow to outspeed 135 Pokemon with a +1 max speed
iron thorns is just a worse ttar
And TTar isn't that great rn either
Slither wing is a worse Volcarona
at least ttar has weather to make up for it
I just want to use cool looking Shiny Iron Thorns
Brute Bonnet is a worse amoonguss
It's shiny is very good
And unlike with the other violet paradoxes it actually fits Thorns and Valiant
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
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
gouging can outspeed
The others either can't do enough damage to it or are weak to it
and shocks is too slow to be able to do damage to it
On top of that it can't do enough damage to flutter to be considered decent against it
it gets flash cannon but flutter is specially bulky
As much as id like walking wake to be A, i don't think its on that level.
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
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
you have to question what they're smoking when they keep making these overpowered pokemon
Yup
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
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
hm?
bm ursa blood moon and flutter mane moonblast
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
what's the bp on spirit break
75 BP
A bit underwhelming in BP
Atleast it lowers the target's SpA by one stage
yeah moves with an additional effect tend to have lower bp
i mean stuff that always drops a stat stage
oh like guaranteed
yeah should've worded it better
sacred fire is a (theoretical) coin flip-
pago
if its not 100% Accurate its 50% Accurate
sacred miss
Origin Miss
precimiss blades
Spacial Miss
tofu didn't delete the rental yet
huh
the ceruledge one
ik which one
cause it’s been formatted properly no?
its not

just look at the rental teams
i’m missing something aren’t i
Has ut been four hours
idk what happened to the team-
oh there has to be a write up
lemme show you the team in dms
seemed like you had to learn how to use the team via inference
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
Whats also odd is that Rai made rentals with all the information before
Don't know why this time they forgot it
i am not convinced that this team made all its way to Master Ball
let alone top 600
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
Stonejourner,Tinkaton(with no Thunder Wave),Tornadus with Swagger and Chi Yu with Lava Plume
Oh fucking god
and its Meteor Beam Pagos.
I still remember the YUseMeta? team
That composition is quite terrible
https://pokepast.es/271ccda58a4d1c7a the team btw
Me and Nova discussed about it and she wants to build Turtle Team for serious now
Nova being serious? Impossible!
I AM NOT TRUSTING THAT-
i might help honestly,i need more insight for Terapagos
I AM NOT TRUSTING WHAT THAT COOKED HONESTLY
https://pokepast.es/9ce4ce044f4c18b2 This is the terapagos Meteor Beam team i was talking about
We get it, you hate it
I hate it
I'm surprised that rental even existed
ok at least this make sense-
like how did it go to 1400
I can explain the evs and pokemon if you like
its alright i get it
Again: We get it, you hate it
I hate it
I'm surprised that rental even existed

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
yeah currently only calm Minds from Me and Pizza
And i might also make a CS Terapagos rental
And unlike Rai's team mine reaching 1400 elo is actually believable
yeah i am sticking with Calm Mind
My Team almost got into 1400 Elo
Nice
HEY
close enough honestly
i have higher elo but your consistency is better
i trust you!!!
Stay mad

Anyways i will reach 1400 elo with terapagos CS

Nice
i’ll figure something out
i think the most serious teams i’ve ever had were these
then i stopped playing for a while
Fair enough
i see
though steel coat dengo was a bit overkill
Kyogre is adorable
its kinda one of the better items lol
rn Its more Leftovers
Leftovers is very good on dengo rn
it was early reg F
just devours the pecha berry
fair enough,I'm still using the Metal coat version
my boi is hungy
Terapagos is probably the most adorable legendary
anyways off to bed-
it’s 1:23 am
Nebby
Sleep tight!
Nebby is up there too
Cosmog,Terapagos and Meltan
maybe the Mythicals as well
some of them are cute
No
I disagree

also i just saw that previous rai team and that made my brain hurt
Nova Sleep 
i didn't know baby lugia was a thing

Sleep Nova Sleep
I agree
Yes it exits, and it’s the most adorable legendary
baby lugia is pretty cute
Baby Lugia is anime-exclusive
I want to build an AV Groudon + Gouging team
Seems like a good duo
clam for gouging?
[Message](#rental_teams message) in #rental_teams
looking for a miraidon dm me i can offer
Idk
Clear Amulet doesn't seem that good on gouging
What i want to use is AV Groudon + Howl Gouging Fire
booster energy?
I already use sun so no
The team so far
I am going to need Raging Bolt and Flutter Mane for that team
And some non-sun reliant pokemon
rillaboom
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
isn't CIR the only ice type you have to worry about
I need help makeing a trickroom team
Yeah but i despise it
And in TR groudon can't counter it as easily
I don't like csr
Me, someone messaged something in Rental Teams and it wasn't related to a rental
Someone deleted that message
This is proof of the message
https://pokepast.es/6221054d5536e69c Opinions on this AV Groudon Gouging Team?
You have double av on the team
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?
I have Urshifu-S banded
I'm playing a match rn, i will think about that later
I have to focus against this Solgaleo team
Ok
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
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2024regg-2139859735-py0w773ew9qekn1m0i8bdtjo5lw3cxgpw Here is how that match went
Watch a replay of a Pokémon battle between lyco terapagos-cs and Badloserignrmyrnt! Format: [Gen 9] VGC 2024 Reg G; Date: Jun 9, 2024
damn they're making caly-s bulky now
Probably to live Tera Water Surging Strikes
exactly
this one was
the game i just watched it lived tera water rain surging strikes
i think
idk if that's possible
Me too
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2024regg-2139861907-qw40jmh6xwnog55vna7k19hizfbxnnkpw I also made it to 1400 elo with my CS Terapagos team
Watch a replay of a Pokémon battle between Wattanu and lyco terapagos-cs! Format: [Gen 9] VGC 2024 Reg G; Date: Jun 9, 2024
I will post a rental of it in a week
damn terapagos is bulky
Wallahi go higher
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
Including myself I’m questioning everyone that isn’t top 10 on the ladder atp
Relatable
and in this match i watched then someone terad their landorus into fairy in front of a parabolic charge miraidon
This reminds me of when a Metagross Tera'd into Ground and Kyogre just deleted it with Water Spout
Shouldn't have tera'd there
the person who terad lando into fairy was 1615 elo
💀💀💀
The person that tera'd metagross into ground was one from ultra ball tier
maybe they were expecting the draco meteor on lando
But they might make those mistakes 
better to force it to lower its spa than wipe you
Did they have tailwind up?
no, no tw
252 SpA Life Orb Sheer Force Landorus Earth Power vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Miraidon: 213-252 (121 - 143.1%) -- guaranteed OHKO
they had caly-i as their restricted
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
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
i'm wondering if i should put tera ground chi-yu on my team to replace ting lu
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
what is your team
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
oh that's not meant to be banded ting lu, that's meant to be rocky helm
tinglu also nerfs half ur team lol
https://pokepast.es/0d5d4f00d33a94ba just wanted a quick check up on this team, anything that can be improved?
How come? Normally I like to have wake and rilla for those MUs, along with torn I thought it would help
Though I haven’t had too many games against it
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)
Should I run parabolic charge miraidon with torn
Yeah I was gonna ask if that was you
I really thought that I would kill that lando there
Knew I should’ve tera watered
Please think about what you just said
I mean maybe you could run tera ground
Sadly no
No
Also why do you want rain?
Bc I want to use archaludon
Tornadus
I’m not seeing the synergy
He also wants to run parabolic charge mirai
I think you should just run peli atp
Also has wide guard
At that point why are you running Archaludon
Rain is not really needed for moraidon teams
Archaludon wants to be on a rain team
I don't belive in wide gaurd
Since when?
Made a mistake
Figured lol

You don’t like blocking astral barrage
Haven't run it once
I think you should try it
Or water spout, or glacial lance, or discharge, etc
Struggle bug too
Yeah but I mean whenever I see a wide guard mon I just don't click spread moves
I’m talking about you using the wide guard mon
I can easily play around it to they should be able to aswell
Are you playing in high or low ladder
I’ve had many moments even after I revealed wide guard they click spread, it pins the mon into using wide guard
Ok then if I need wide guard I use speed boost iron valiant focus sah
…
ok i'm gonna try my new team on bo3
ig that’s fine for a Mirai team
Good luck
I don’t think valiant is good however, just seems eh
I mean on moraidon team I can see it working
It has 4 moves syndrome
You’re killing me calling it moraidon

Idk I seen a guy talking abt it his channel was xbell
Idk why I even spelled it like that
Probably not a VGC player
Valiant has lackluster stats for VGC
It's a mixed attacker bro
We know
Mixed attackers are not typically good in VGC
Ok but should I let one of the stats go to waste or spread even
True you don’t see many, or any actually
Being decent on everything is not better than being really good at a couple things
Nah max out attack I say
Got a better CC there
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
Carried by stamina for physical
Yeah but special moves too
Should I run protect?
But if you’re running sash I assume it wants to hit as hard as possible, CC is its strongest stab iicr
Depends on the set
What's iicr
If I can remember
No no no don’t run moonblast and CC
Intimidate
Spirit break is fine
You have miraidon
Its fine
Focusing on one stat is better
But 2 is ok
Plus those stats don't need a lot of investment anyways
Speed booster sash Val is max speed max spA or physical Attack
Like 252 SpA / 252 Spe / 4 Att
Pick an attack stat, don’t use both
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
Fairy/Fighting
Quark Drive
74/130/90/120/60/116
590
If its non sash then focusing on one stat is definetely the way to go
It has better physical attack so maybe do that
That too
unless you run support move but dunno
It’s supposed to be there mainly for wide guard
Supportive mons can run mixed but you usually still use your higher damaging move to do stuff
mhm
And higher attack stat
Like those CCs are gonna do some very nice chip
trust me i used an Iron Valiant in the DLC story and its good with CCs
Sash sets can run mixed sets without too many issues
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
Its a menace in OU for several reasons
i'm getting my ass whooped in bo3
thats offensive Valiant
rn Valiant is more supprtive in Reg G
Ik that
It has several tools for support
Wide Guard, Encore, Destiny bond (ig), Taunt, etc.
bo3 is so hard
time to make another restricted Team
finally won one
cool
won another

Don't tell this to SV or Shiny hunting discussion channels
I mean
playing SV and i wanna see what i got
Fair
I need to get Iron Boulder and Iron Crown from Violet and then i have the past beast trio and future Swords of Justice
i already got them so i can make my Miraidon Team
Its just very good
Miraidon 
Good Luck on the team btw
damn, lost
Me, a Zekrom believer:
the concept is in Day 2 ok-
It isn't limited badly, its partially limited by the tecnology of it's time (iron crown)
C tier is crazy
Nice monologue you have there OTOT
Its atleast B tier imo
That’s way too high, D tier at best

Its not super good but definetely not bad
i put it in S tier-

Your extremely biased

Lemme get my list one sec

Me with Zekrom in April:
I have Third Legendary Bias.
Yes
MEW???
Torrent is extremely biased
i legit did not know but its the wild kanto battle theme
dude my name in the server is Terapagos Stan
cut me some slack
No
ok fair its boring
i like the XY remix but thats it
LA Sinnoh Legend theme is too low imo, unless you hate drums
it's literally just Patternz putting Ultra Necrozma in top of S tier
I'm REMAKING THE LIST
whyre they all so generalized lmfao
oh music
blame my past friends who put some of them low
no i mean the stuff in general
idk why we did that-
How do you even remember and rate all those themes 
Hey Blame my friends who want make with me
Legendary Pokémon Battle Theme Tier List (Music from Main Line Games Only)
Playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXubn3iAfH7ka3UFk83pJUK82il-ryyex
also
Like Why i can't have Bias
Everyone has bias in a way
I’m unbiased always 
Impossible
No, ask me I’ll be unbiased
can i just have a break a put my second favourite Legendary's theme in No.1
Hi unbiased always, I’m Kris
Yes Giratina is still my No.1
Thanks, nice to meet you too, unbiased always

ili cracked the code
ofc
Of course you put Unova bois in Top 10
while i can't put mine in Top of S Tier without everyone killing me
If i can't cut some slack on putting Turtle Higher than nobody can
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
Here it is Drago
this gets so hard once you weed out all the shit songs
they really count koraidon/miraidon theme as paradise protocol fuck
this makes top tiers alot harder
hey blame the developers who code the theme
At least that is a cool theme
The only part where i completely disagree is the placement of the lake trio
i think all of the Legendary themes in SV are truly Masterpieces
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 😭
This is gonna take me a while
Honestly Agree,they all slapped so hard
Lots of themes I haven’t listened to
fair
Thank god i listened to them a lot back then
I dislike both paradise protocol and wild pokemon in area 0
i think Pokemon is kinda like Sonic Series,
They both just said
Fuck the quality,Here's some music
WHAT
well i think my team sucks in bo3
show me
aight finally done
respectable
top 3 are just my go tos for vgc
Minus Pecharunt
oh wait
wat
nvm i thought you mean the mons itself
I am in PTSD
why trhat
Just a General PTSD on Calyrex
but i can't deny the music slaps

Its good but there are many better themes imo

I see you Dust
G’day mate
Hello, Monk, lol
Hey Khuja 
G' day mods
dude you literally put that below average
Ik that
Just because its in below average doesn't mean its bad
And i said many better themes imo
Which means the majority
NAIC is live
?!
i have notis
Mods sliding in here lol
i won't complain
Morning mother
How goes it
It goes, am still kinda waking up. Might make a cup of coffee
dont forget pokemon go first…
no they finished yday iirc
good.
I hate that game
Here’s mine
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
Also I’m biased to zacian theme that’s why it’s top 5
thats drastically different and i see why
And aslo Galarian birds
I put turtle in S and People bombard me
well top 1 but like
Galar birds theme is fucking fire
It’s so good
is certified underrated
This is mine
honestly,
Seems agreed on sv music is pretty up there
well unless if you are Lyco
Mostly ruinous and loyal 3/Pecharunt
Ogerpon in C is a crime
Guess i'm a criminal
I mean Ruinous is just banger and Loyal three is funky
Ruinous is just, 
oh yeah 172 Jolly is able to Outspeed the Bikes
Yes i get it my opinions are basically hot takes
Outspeeds modest 252 Bloodmoon as well I believe
my team really struggles against caly-s so i think i'm gonna put wide guard on zama
208 in Tailwind
your Zacian is 206
That’s been in my head a while
Completely flew over my head that bojack horseman was getting sexual with candy
They are very hot takes?
Sorry but this barely explains anything
they are more hotter than my Hot sauce back home
Perish 
Honestly you are not wrong at all
There is a reason why people love disagreeing with me
It's honestly hilarious seeing their reaction sometimes
The hot takes are atrocious tho.
But hot takes i believe in
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
Its also very good against Hitmontop Endgame if it does not have a move that is not a Normal or Fighting
That theme imo is very forgetable, and also quite boring
Yes
What?
oh wait its 209\
Not sure what you’re on about lol
my brain is still half awake
i am legit so damn tired
When are NAIC finals?
ears plastered on 🔥🔥
I don't care about people's opinion on my tier list 🔥
ok🔥🔥
idk
VGC isn’t for a while
We have no idea
For that reason I’m checking out the massive ww2 museum they have here
We will have to wait an hour or two
Can't say i blame you
tera ghost chi yu is definitely better than tera ground
can you send me the location
100% better
Definetely
just want to know,i love history man
New Orleans
idk why i thought listening to the showdown vgc room was a good idea
it’s the first thing
Theres a reason why i call it braindead
This chat isn’t much better at times
somehow they are stupid
Battery Charjabug with Terapagos-
Honestly not wrong
blame for some Randos and us sometimes go brainded-
I remember when i was building the sand team and someone said to me to change teras because it gets destroyed by Heatran apparently 💀
You guys make some absolutely wild takes at times
That are half the time just wrong
There were 3 tera fairys, 2 tera ghosts and 1 tera grass
but at least its better than some people in VGC chatroom in Showdown-
by a tiny bit
Agree
ground chi yu is a niche you don’t understand yet
I rather listen to people who i actually know what they say than the chatrooms full of low/mid elo with some high elo
yeah i'm still pretty bad at bo3
https://pokepast.es/05b76b7aec2ac051
Just look at the team i found in VGC chatrooms
Those names are made by a child
its good and i saw it on stream once
I remember an Iron Hands who used special attack and whirlwind in the chatrooms
Yeah trust me i /ignore them
https://pokepast.es/65a3d4e96d239c80
Weakness Policy Lunala
And the Name is good but not worthy to use the name
That is way too far from good
tera ground chi-yu is usually on seen on miraidon teams and it’s definitely the better tera for that team
i mean the username
Made by you or one of your greninja stan accomplices?
or terapagos
i would just ignore that bullshit
Same
now i am interested 🙂
Chatrooms are not worth paying attention too
disgrace of Greninja fans
Very true
And Greninja is a very underrated starter
Thats just shame on it's name
ok you are smoking something.
I mean underrated as in good
anime fans glazing on them-
Thats just factually wrong
if you say Greninja is good in Reg A i can see why but rn,its a Niche on top of Niche
I'm running wide gurd and cc on iron valiant what should I run in 2 empty moveslot
i'm a Greninja fan and i am only said him good in Smash
drago's right about the wild takes in here lol
I can see why, i don't play smash anymore but maybe it is

Please adice
Advice
its a fun and difficult character to master
Thats very true
I couldn't get used to Gren when i played it
i can't tell how many years i play it to make it saucy
I played Steve Aegis and Dedede when i did play smash
Yes i'm aware dedede is bottom tier
Greninja Aegis and Toon Link
Yep 2 swordies and one half swordie
I'll take this as a I should only run 2 moves on mu iron valiant
@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
my friend got COOKED by burns in round 1
I do think the ditto variant of Caly-I is probably the strongest right now
yeah its an insane team
ditto unironically solves multiple restricted matchups by itself
tho his teras and moves are what im questioning
Ditto good
like sure they can boost up Caly-S but then they’re screwing themselves over
But doesn't solve Terapagos tho
yeah its insane team sheet pressure
terapagos not aurelien team is relatively easy for cir
Terapagos I think is Caly-I favored overall the more I’ve played it
yeah once the ball starts rolling its hard for terapagos to come back
how many Tortol Teams Left
Fair
LMFAO YEAH THATD DO IT
yeah that 100% makes it tougher hahaha
They announcing locations for next year's regionals today?
I just spam electroweb with eleki
wait what Teams are next
Btw im cooking hard
about half of them, the ones in late 2024
this but bolt
Ah
Be sure to get those bitches down
Suica after our game was so shocked that my Caly-I outsped his Terapagos after one electroweb
damn wtf
come to find out that it was by one point lol
ur fast
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
time to build my gf's team
LMFAO
good luck on it-
what a chad
maybe chien-pao works better than chi-yu

My set is way more simple than that one
oh those speed evs could be helpful hm
I run T-Punch to OHKO Pelipper
yeah i just run torn to help with weather changers
I don't run a secondary weathe setter
So checking Pelipper is a must
I think 2 ways of beating it is enough
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
I have Bolt to help against Rain
And Gouging Supports it a lot
And T-Wave Grimmsnarl can slow down powerful threats to be killed by Grudon before doing anything
whens the broadcast today?
Which also helps against pelipper and kyogree
Yes i am pronouncing Groudon and Kyogre badly intentionally
dunno
We still need to finish off PoGo and then I assume TCG
eh i feel like kyogre, especially AV is a problem 4 that team
is kyogre still a problem for your team OTOT
Raging Bolt Banded urshifu-S and Light Screen T-wave Grimmsnarl:
i have my ways though
i referring to the wo chien one btw
i do think tw would help groudon there
Gouging and Banded urshifu:
And also Flutter Mane
btw i have meticulously planned for kyogre MU
imagine Kyogre wins NAIC
Imagine a sun setter wins, that would be crazy

Seems very believable
true i think flutter and shifu will be ur best bet, half the time theyre gonna tera posion
so groudon might also gets a nice hit in
Groudon with precipiss blades and stomping tantrum:
Lucky
lucky indeed
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 
but now i learnt how to do that underline thing
This will never be forgotten lmao
HOW DID U DO IT SO FAST
i thought i was smooth with it 
You got ways to go son
Anyways so what what is your opinion on fast Groudon?
good stuff
I run T-Punch to specifically destroy Pelipper and Urshifu-S
And outspeeding Pelipper also helps
yeah i can see why thats helpull, i might switch rockslide to that
Its also much more consistent than Rock Slide
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
252+ SpA Pelipper Weather Ball (100 BP Water) vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Assault Vest Groudon in Rain: 168-198 (81.1 - 95.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
I really like Precipice Blades Heat Crash Stomping Tantrum and Thunder Punch as the moveset
i think i'm liking chi yu more than ting lu
140+ Atk Groudon Thunder Punch vs. 252 HP / 76+ Def Pelipper: 164-196 (98.2 - 117.3%) -- 93.8% chance to OHKO
Btw this always OHKOs
unless it's sash
Always outspeeds Peli unless it is in Tailwind
when i calc peli why does it say 200 BP 
now its sayng 20BP
252+ SpA Pelipper Weather Ball (100 BP Water) vs. 164 HP / 52 SpD Assault Vest Groudon in Rain: 300-354 (78.5 - 92.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO btw this is my calc
pretty sure it also lives most astral barrages
+2 252 SpA Tera Ghost Calyrex-Shadow Astral Barrage vs. 164 HP / 52 SpD Assault Vest Groudon: 322-380 (84.2 - 99.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
yeah
why is vgc the last event
idk
We don't know OT
because why not
because it gets the most viewers
they’d rather the numbers built up slowly throughout the stream rather than peak then drop off
oh that makes sense ig
+2 252 SpA Life Orb Calyrex-Shadow Rider Astral Barrage vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Assault Vest Groudon: 173-204 (83.5 - 98.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Try harder
tera ghost lul
+2 252 SpA Tera-Ghost Calyrex-Shadow Rider Astral Barrage vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Assault Vest Groudon: 178-210 (85.9 - 101.4%) -- 6.3% chance to OHKO
These are odds i like
eh i like a guranteed chance
You still survive unless you are very unlucky and you spare 8 evs which can be valuable
I prefer 6.3% chance to OHKO over Guaranteed 2HKO
up to you ig, i dont like rolls
Guess we have a bit to go until
finals
Which two restricteds are gonna duke it out?
wasn't it cs pagos and cir
Terapagos and CIR

Behind Miraidon obv
I don't think CIR has won?
go cir !
It hasn't
is it nasty plot draining kiss
Oh nvm it won a special event in LA region
Hope Pagos wins to cement my clairvoyance
Hopefully Pagos can win this tournament unlike what happened in Indianopolis
I would have loved it if wo chein made it
You want Moxie Boosted to be the happiest man ever?
Yes
Wo Chien getting top 8 though is still good
He's a good one
is lorb chien pao a thing now
Barely
It’s life orb Chien Pao?
Yes
That’s interesting
It started in Reg D I believe?
Stellar tera?
Stellar Tera
yes
Always the damn Japanese when it comes to weird/odd sets
that makes sense
I like LO Pao
some run double dark crash
If your going life orb you might as well invest in the damage
Yeah thats what im running
I never played it so i can't judge it
scary
LO Pao is stupid
The amount of damage it does lmao
But it does seem very good
Easiest 1700s/1800s of my life with HOPagos
PaoShifu carries
I have converted to Specs Pagos
I like all Pagos sets now
Fortunately idt you need to like calc for LO? Especially considering you basically can't calc for it reasonably
I'm too used to Sash Chien Pao, i heard L-Orb chien pao play differently
Can't play like a bitch if you gon play LO Pao
good for you
Hell yeah well done nice climb
Yeah LO Pao is pedal to the floor basically lol
2nd Snorlax team to hit 1800s now I'm on my third Snorlax team
@mighty stump between justin burns cir & aurelien ho pagos for july prize pool tour ngl
252+ Atk Sword of Ruin Tera-Stellar Chien-Pao Sucker Punch (1st Use) vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Calyrex-Ice Rider: 156-188 (75.3 - 90.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Ok that shouldn't do that much to a CIR
HOPagos is just fun to say
you OHKO with Throat Chop lol
Although
The real crime is
Not guaranteeing an OHKO without Stellar
I didn't like the team as a Zamazenta player, so I always called it TerapaHOs
not helpful!!
252+ Atk Sword of Ruin Tera-Stellar Chien-Pao Throat Chop (1st Use) vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Calyrex-Ice Rider: 180-216 (86.9 - 104.3%) -- 25% chance to OHKO
I can see why you like it
I like Suicas;
U forgor LO
Wow Tofu being converted actually
Bro was CM Pagos man
Actually
MBeam PHerb
252+ Atk Life Orb Sword of Ruin Tera-Stellar Chien-Pao Throat Chop (1st Use) vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Calyrex-Ice Rider: 234-281 (113 - 135.7%) -- guaranteed OHKO
Much better numbers
ouch
I honestly think yeah just a Meteor Beam set is the best of both worlds
Regice >>>
Like no CM, no Specs
MBeam PHerb
i dont think lugia made the vid though, cant say the same for the fridge
You're right
Lugia wasn't on the list of bad legends, yet
Oh he talked shit about Munkidori lmao

When restricted list comes, that will be bad for you OT
And i love how brutally honest he was about it
He said "nothing good about Munkidori" and he's not wrong
Tbf he was one of the casters in Indy and Chance showed it off on stream
Shows it has something compared to all the other shit
Oh yeah Munkidori is fuckin horrible
I'm also surprised Fezandipity and Regirock did not show up on that list
Both aren't that good imo
lol maybe in CTS frisk munkidori would be somewhat helpful
Yes but most of the time you can guess the item yourself
And I hate him too cuz he was an annoying little bastard to catch
Literally had to bring Kingambit to make sure I couldn't be hit and just throw balls at it
AND EVEN GOING THAT ROUTE IT TOOK ME 2 TIMES
fezandipity i can see working, not sure why regirock wasnt on the list
