You say Walance
Palafin isn’t affected by gas
Oh yeah idk why I keep thinking of Palafin as Walafin
Lmfao
Palance
goodbye my beloved
Cetitan
U lost your best Blizzard spammer already
Probably incin
What?
Articuno
But yeah MausApe gonna be bad
But aside from that, is team horrible?
Lol
Snow don’t need blizzard
Is it bad? no. Is it good? meh
Bold claim
Tofu I will run MausApe myself lmao
What blizzard spammer exists
Monke has joined the dark side
That isn’t the setter
Dw I can also c-team MausApe
isnt there like no good electric types now
I need to find some way of making the dirge work
Electabuzz
ohhh
Uhm excuse me
I tried to join it in Reg C when it was like
Something that was used against Wolfe in NAIC 
Pikachu
yeah lol
True true
Archaludon rain
Tofu is gonna make the Pikachu team again
Well
Bout to recreate my Rank 1 team
This is probably gonna be the most interesting format teambuilding wise
Tofu bout to get featured on Cybertron again
Also atm just saying
Glad we get a chance to see how a lowered powered format like this will turn out
Farigiraf can wall Annihilape
Yeah I'm using farig for my tr setter this time, no more spiritomb and rabsca
Idt I’m gonna run Fari but gtk
u think hariyama will return?
Idk how common spread moves are gonna be
Anything could work really
I might use hoodra
Mm, finding the line for mausape’s gonna be tricky
and tofu’s keeping it under wraps, understanably
besides the one thing
Time to scroll the builder for potential answers to mausape
Real
Tera Ice Primarina doesn’t sound terrible
Boosts defense, yea maybe worth a shot
Hyper Voice/Moonblast/Blizzard/Protect
Fuck it it’s funny (could also work on like, a LORB set)
Prima doesn’t need to Tera much anyway
And we have things to deal with rilla/meow(?)
I doubt meow comes back but it has a shot
Delphox is faster than armarouge so we might see fast psyspam too
Fire/Psychic
Blaze, Magician (Hidden)
75/69/72/114/100/104
534
I am so unconcerned if its coming off of 114 spa
Lmao
Armarouge is nice cause you get Meteor Beam for Incin
sini, could we see sini?
yea
Oh you’ll probably see it on MausApe teams
fuck
tofu u gna make a lax based team 
is the sauce mausape and sini
I got the sauce already

Maybe Throat Spray too
TRUE
My newest Lax set is ultra based
Oh no
im thinkin boring like rilla/incin/palafin/pelipper/gholdengo and something else
Kommo-O though 👀
havent touched harc ina while, just gonna go max max ig lol
Actually Tofu can slower Incin run Taunt now
Sure?
w/ reg h in mind?
prolly have a lot more leeway now
My Lax set is already bodying in Reg G Bo3
And now we’re gonna be in a format whwre nothing can OHKO it
Oh Tofu is it that one set you showed me
the kitchen is in flames
Ya
Fuck
Good luck to all my opps
Nah the set he showed me is a bitch
It's even worse than his Curse Lax set

this is why i'd lose
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2024regg-2171140901-0bfki19i71w8mfz24r7h1gmrotbbhncpw
already getting ready to cook the dozo teams
Watch a replay of a Pokémon battle between ayofuego and prushkaalan! Format: [Gen 9] VGC 2024 Reg G; Date: Aug 1, 2024
Regulation H is crazy 😦
FUCK NOT THE BLIZZARD KYOGRE AGAIN
this that team dillon had posted earlier
kek
feels good beating dozo forever
YES THE TORN WASN'T CLOAK
ur cloak
FUCK IT HIT
honestly its very based
im excited
looking forward to playing a lower power format again
I struggled with mausape
it won nothing
honestly same, but Im gonna miss using wo-chien to block everything
fair enough
Im loking forward to make my sneasler,lucario,houndoom and floatzel work even better now
had like 1 decent result in early format. maybe on ladder playing it u found it annoying
probably

yea
so does dengo
yep
And murkrow
Oh yes. Im really cooking gourme
No more urshifu and calyrex domninating upper ranks
for a few months
Cant wait to pull out my spidOps
its likely we go back to restricted after this format
Reg G returns Jan
wait that was stated?
idk if id call it that 
I wonder why they just flat out banned a lot of the legendaries though, because some of them weren't too crazy
because thats unfair lol
Yes
yea reg g is returning in jan
...
dang
im gonna enjoy this
they just want to skill check ppl hahaha
while i have the chance
no calyrex for a few months is awesome
stupid horse
i mean i always thought reg a was too short and they really never gave a lot of the hisuan mons a chance. this basically remedies both
yea
Sneasler incinduo gonna be rough ;p
Moody muk gonna be back
I'm planning on running the dirge so no worries about Moody muk here
And torch song goes through sub
hmm
yea idt muk smeargles gna b too common
https://pokepast.es/099f00dec3a2febf gambit or dengo?
revaroom
Lol
if i wanted to throw sure
Sunflora

y throw? it actually could b ok now if anything. 1 player did well w/ it in reg b or c
gholdengo to answer the question tho if anything
easier to set up plots behind veil and fake out from rilla
Wait wtf revavroom gets parting shot
there is no ladder this is all i have
lol the car engine just tells the oppoent fuck off lol
so many random mons get it, grafaiai, squawkabilly, revavroom, munkidori
Hmm would clefairy be better then maushold for ape as it can learn healing abilities?
ik im in ubers but this team kinda cooks
Its too passive to fully support Ape
So can we expect BM ursa on 90% of team on next reg
Right next to firagaraf and incin yup lol
Oh well still tho BM ursa feel like legendary but doesn't count as one so it free from the ban damn
Oh yeah duh lol
Looks susceptible to being outpaced really aggressively
Also having Temper Flare and Rain isn’t really great
Craziest thing is how Hydreigon can be good again
The Hydra is back online fr
i need to improve my urshifu-rapid spread, does anyone have a spread for it?
in what set
scarf
just Max Max Min-
ok ty
i should probably build my team in-game
still dunno what to do with the torn slot
I’m gonna do one more climb with my Pagos Team
pagos is good
https://pokepast.es/a72d93010a4cd761 thoughts?
Looks decent enough, guess you don't need speed control with screens
Its something
thats not promising
Don’t like max max Prima
statline is so open to being optimised
well idt my CM spread would work, i think
I mean like they’re all really basic teams theres not much for me to say
to some degree standard FWG is going to work
Less of that since we know what to expect
Only thing is your team looks susceptible to Dozogiri clearing it
Have A9 outspeed to try an encore lock
oh, yea
thats been super nice i like encore a9
in a format it can actualy click it lol'
i think the team works, atm
i'll work on the prima spread
ty
Double restricteds huh
We thought
Actually, incineroar is still in and urshifu is gone
Crazy
i guess incin has no reason to be tera ghost anymore
Incin doesn't have to worry about surging strikes
https://pokepast.es/78c20c1eef1b477b thoughts?
i don't think it's good, i just threw it together
and yes ik farig doesn't have evs yet
No idea
Still gotta see what's good again and what's not
Primarina looks pretty nice rn
But yeah not so sure about that kleavor
Oh dude wonder if there's gonna be a resurgence of dozogiri
yeah probably
Like all due respect to people who are skilled at the game and use it to win but
Man that stuff is boring as hell to watch, use and play against
Oh no does reg H will bring back the reign of dondozo
Meowscarada,Murkrow,Gholdengo:Ah Shit Here we go again
yea
Murkrow and gholdengo is inevitable but i'm not sure with meowscrada
I forgot about murkrow
Return of the king
It's definitely unexpected that we went from restricted format to no legends at all
But it's cool that they're switching things up so it doesn't get stale
torrent i just played you on ladder, the crit definitely mattered
Actually, empoleon sounds huge
Gonna wait until the meta is a bit more stable before jumping into ladder
I think I'll just be watching for today
we also have encore
and rillaboom, and incin
and amoonguss, theres ways to handle dozo
without haze
Yeah haze is kinda a free dozo cheat code
And if dozo just uses tera grass it shuts down rilla and amoonguss threatening it
clear smog
Forgot about that
and if it era grass incin gets to wisp
There's a lot of mons that were unviable for being countered by legendaries that are sleeper picks now just waiting to be used
Like who knows maybe calm mind sinistcha is the next calm mind flutter
Definitely not but it sounds cool enough
I'm so trying nasty plot sinistcha now that it's not getting hit by bleakwind
And flutter
And chien
And wicked blow shifu
Gonna go to top 100
what's your team
NO URSHIFU???
NOOOO
so it’s just nat dex
Or paradoxes
Why isn’t it just double restricted bro what is this
WAIT PALAFIN IS BACKKK
my team is ass
this is called freedom from ghost horse
It def still have a use with murkrow the only dark type prankster who have tailwind
ok so Palafin stonks
no?
At least murkrow will be immune to prankster from whimsi so no worries to get encored
Only t wave doesn't work on ground electric and dhengo
I think Okidogi is a legendary
hold up this reg is gonna be so fun
damn
well bax is back
bax is so fun
Damn it I don’t think I have my spreads from reg c
I'm not sure what i'm going to use on next reg
This looks really good rn
YO APE IS BACK
and gambit
There’s so many things to cook with
Amoonguss and incin are going to be my support mons, that’s all I know😔
Basculegion Stan here now
Choice Band Swift Swim Basculegion actually hits pretty hard so yeah
and can't be faked out
I KNOW
SUCH A GOOD CLOSER TOO WITH LAST RESPECTS
yea prob using basc
Singles team atm
But like I am kinda trying a doubles team
bc if more than just me need it its ready
Emma did you get points at LA
i didn’t go to LA
I thought u did
no
Wait what
what
Where did you go then
toronto knox & orlando
oh
no for all 3 bc i got good at the game in may lol
im goin to louisville, toronto & naic
this yr
gotcha
Oh
Say hi to me at Toronto and NAIC then wooo
dont glaze it
lets play mario party
but its a good closer for sure
No
I’ve never played
how !
basc is gonna be crazy
Your teaching me remember
Which one
sure whatever
girl how have u never played mario party
is it mario party that ruins friendships?
im asking how in your entire life have you never played mario party 
Can't wait for Mario party jamboore might buy it too
whaaaattt
^
f
- Meowscarada does not learn Fake Out in Generation 9
Mario Party only ruins friendships if you care more about winning than having a silly goofy time with friends
just the meme mostly
Plus I played pubg professionally and never like played anything else for a long time lol
honestly its fun unless if someone took it serious
I just came back to gaming cuz of covid
ok im goin to bed i stayed up too long, gn
If there was no covid there would be no KeanuVGC
huh i play that as wel but i kinda just dont care about it
and there would be no Zamazenta formula
Night
I really hope legend ZA will be available on normal switch not on switch 2
Is there a switch 2?
Because it ussualy a bad idea to buy new console on first batch
There rumor about it at least
its on the normal switch i think
they did say its on the normal nintendo switch
Pretty sure it’s the last game on this switch
honestly thats a good way to end the Switch
If Legenda ZA is a banger
It just needing to buy much more expensive console to play new pokemon games and have chance to have awful launch looking at switch release back then
Feels sucks
@solid frigate you think bax and basc would work
bax is better in snow thoooo
I could do dengo tbh instead
both Basc and bax can work,tho in different weather
i think you can make a dual weather team if you can
I don’t like dual weather
Bax can work in rain as well if you want to
Dengo is just a better set up option tbh on rain
its just Snowbax is more interesting
Yea def
fair
I’m using Basc for now
i might make a Water Grass Pledge Team
If one of the user's allies chose to use Fire Pledge or Water Pledge this turn and has not moved yet, it takes its turn immediately after the user and the user's move does nothing. If combined with Fire Pledge, the ally uses Fire Pledge with 150 power and a sea of fire appears on the target's side for 4 turns, which causes damage to non-Fire types equal to 1/8 of their maximum HP, rounded down, at the end of each turn during effect, including the last turn. If combined with Water Pledge, the ally uses Grass Pledge with 150 power and a swamp appears on the target's side for 4 turns, which quarters the Speed of each Pokemon on that side. When used as a combined move, this move gains STAB no matter what the user's type is. This move does not consume the user's Grass Gem.

oh yeah when i fight that it Water and Grass Pledge just OHKOs Pagos
https://pokepast.es/7256b7247ec73899 meow or rilla in this?
i used Meow for Dondozo but Rilla is also Pretty good for Pivoting
Oh yea I don’t really have a dozo answer
like you can test both of them to see who clicks
Garchomp or Dragapult are solid Choices
Garchomp granting Immunity to Ground(i use Tera Steel)
Dragapult just a Fast Ghost type if you dont want Basc to be in the set
No legends or sub legends or paradoxes
Oh?
yea it’s crazy
How is chomp immune to ground
I think I’m being messsed with
Scroll up lmao 😭

Why am i suspecting on Aura Trio being Mystery Gifts
Cuz why would they give a Reg A++ and then Reg G again
I’m so confused is reg H actually just the A all over again
In showdown there are no restricteds 😭
Omg it’s true
its ok honestly
yeah it’s Reg A with the DLC pokemon as well
Reg A, but with all the DLC Pokemon who are not legend
like Its a breath of fresh air
I can finally build Greninja
I'm happy that all the returning DLC mons get a day in the sun
agreed, I think it’s cool that something like Primarina or Metagross can actually play the game now
Yesssss
Why did Metagross not make a splash in this format? Flutter mane?
Metagross top tier When
So many cool things are here
Its banned as well
Don’t have to worry about fucking flutter or shifu going through protect
I mean up until now
but isn’t incin still viable
Incin isn’t that bad
Incin would be as dominant as used to
Wait does this mean no more shifu
Yup
incin will be really really good still
Im fine with it but we have to play Reg G Again after Reg H soooo
Wdym
After reg h reg g is back
I think mostly because it was hard to justify a slot on the team over something that does its role better. If you’re playing Trick Room, just use something slower or something that hits harder. If you’re playing a balance mid-speed team, pick something with better type coverage. I really never found a team during Reg E where Metagross could fill a roll better than other pokemon
Yeah
yeah it looks fine
if they somehow just bring the Aura Trio as Mystery Gift then that explains why we dont have double restricteds rn
Why
January is still a long times away
Think about it,Most of the time restricted formats are gonna stay as it is but why sudden change if pace-
but honestly i might get way too ahead of myself
and i am paranoid
my theory is that they need to stretch out Scarlet/Violet’s life for more than 3 total years because they’re not releasing a game with PVP (Legends ZA probably won’t have PVP) for a while
like in a normal cycle, we’d have the next VGC Pokemon game in November 2025
but AFAIK from announcements and date reveals, there’s no way we have another game that soon
tbf i might save some money for the Pokemon stuff anyway soooo
and new nintendo switch as well
How does this like justify the aura trio
Are you ready to fight Palafin for the 47th time
lets gooooo
idk cu legends ZA is in Maybe Early 2025 and the fact that New Reg G us Early 2025
Ig that makes sense
or Mid 2025 idk
exactly thats why i think about that
Did they do something like that for pla in swsh?
but idk its just a theory so take it with a grain of salt
BDSP Kinda but i dont think so
Wait reg H gonna stay untill january
Another format another time of wildly wrong considerations
Damn i thought it's just gonna be a month or 2 month thing
OMG i really hope i can still push like normal reg like this ussualy makes some stupid shit like evasion muk smeargle thriving because not enough fire power
Bro gave up without considering options
honestly i just wanna go with the flow rn
Oh well i guess i'm just going to see what people doing first before i spend my resource making team
Torrent's team looks solid
i mean its just a Prototype
I only won cus crit
kek
Low power format is gonna make a lot of random teams more viable
mimikyu time
R u ready for SPecs Dondozo
kek
boutta bring that to baltimore
Lmao
https://pokepast.es/a723ff8e6267ce7f
time to recreate this nightmare team
throwback covert cloak gholdengo for the garganacl matchup
CoCl Gholdie based
hooo boi
I think i'm ready for the surf life orb dondozo again
U were already complaining about like 2 different things are you sure
I have experience fighting it back then and i don't really need legendary or paradox to defeat it so i say my chance is good
For the last 2 the only way i can defeat them is by using legendary so i def will have no idea what should i do when facing them 
Ah right haze it will clean everything including the coastar flamigo stat i guess i need to use murkrow after all
Anyone got a Dnite CB spread I can use until I get a small look into format?
hurricane in rain has no acc check
I think I was using like 164HP/252ATK/4DEF/4SpDef rest in speed
something along those lines
just want to outspeed some mid tier stuff and dump the rest into HP
dollarmonke has given 1 Gen Rep to mlbd
imma just
Build a Pledge Team for no reason
Honestly as I said
This sorta feels like unless you're in irl circuit, this can really be a bullshit format
well,We’ll wait and see
problem is gonna be adjusting to slower speed tiers
reg g was pushing base speeds of like 97+
tauros is gonna be one of the fastest again
I wonder if clear amulet tauros will see any play as a soft incin answer
why do i have Gen 1 Flashbacks
Clear Amulet Palafin 
156+ Atk Tauros-Paldea-Blaze Close Combat vs. 236 HP / 76 Def Incineroar: 186-222 (93 - 111%) -- 62.5% chance to OHKO
just a random calc but kinda cool that you could do that if you wanted
that honestly wasnt a bad Idea if you run Set Up Palafin
Yeah I got some slower Reg G builds on my team rn until I see wtf is there lol
Nah you already need to swap it out
Idk if set up is the play
Monke.
Kommo-o.
It's on the list already lmao
DO IT FOR THE ZAMAZENTA GANG
also i think its about time i’m gonna build Greninja.

This is gonna be a woozy
I'm just using Incin Rilla Palafin Gholdengo Sylveon Dnite
Simple balance that'll probably do good
its Standard Balance but gets the job done
Oh Yeah Monke,Which Pledge Effect you think its the best
ik its a Random Question cuz nobody plays Pledges
Rainbow or maybe the Fire Grass one?
Rainbow has the Serene Grace effect and I think the Fire + Grass one has a mini GMax Wildfire effect iirc?
Sea of Fire?
i can try Solar Power Zard with Fire Pledge and Chlorophyll Venusaur with Grass Pledge?
Maybe?
Blaze would be good against Rilla too
i can think of a Sun Team then
Would Tauros actually be good even with Incin?
Clear Amulet moment
Y'know what
I hope they have a GC with Reg H
I'll deadass run Anger Point shit
Anger Point Tauros Blaze with Meowscarada
wait a minute, I forgot about empoleon
competitive empoleon/milotic could be really nice with predicted incin usage, especially empoleon since it matches up better into rilla
too bad it has ass water moves if I remember correctly

yeah you're stuck running hydro or water pledge probably
Nah the other one like quarters the speed
It’s so goood
If one of the user's allies chose to use Fire Pledge or Grass Pledge this turn and has not moved yet, it takes its turn immediately after the user and the user's move does nothing. If combined with Fire Pledge, the ally uses Water Pledge with 150 power and a rainbow appears on the user's side for 4 turns, which doubles secondary effect chances and stacks with the Serene Grace Ability, except effects that cause flinching can only have their chance doubled once. If combined with Grass Pledge, the ally uses Grass Pledge with 150 power and a swamp appears on the target's side for 4 turns, which quarters the Speed of each Pokemon on that side. When used as a combined move, this move gains STAB no matter what the user's type is. This move does not consume the user's Water Gem, and cannot be redirected by the Storm Drain Ability.

Swamp I think
For comp does violet or scarlet have better exclusives?
I know it wont really matter in the near future
but in the curent meta state
I think overall Scarlet has the better pokemon for doubles
but Violet caught up with the legendaries being legal
Scarlet for doubles, although Miraidon is there too
But now they’re illegal 😔
It’s pretty close between the two and even then with the ability to just trade for paradox pokemon easily, it’s a wash
flutter mane and iron hands were the only two that I really saw in VGC pretty regularly and fluttermane takes that haha
are there others that yall tend to use
i just beat one with Stantler
You don't actually have to run a pledge team to use a pledge move yk
You know what a cool thing about water pledge empoleon is
For some reason water pledge is the one water move that doesn't get redirected by storm drain
Ok but why would you 😭
water pledge empoleon is like case only if iirc that wants pledge
Fire has flame thrower and heat wave
Grass has energy ball and giga drain
Also I love LO dengo 😭
Ursaluna Fari would be everywhere
Anyone able to find that dozogiri team wolfe glicked used in regional?
and i think,Just theory Crafting that this is probably a More Trick Room Heavy than the rest due to The 135s are not gonna be here
The endure perish song onen
im expecting tr and psyspam mainly, along with the return of dozogiri
yeah this reg is gonna be Very Trick Room Heavy
Snarl incineroar is here heroically to save us from the return of psyspam armarouge
Just like don't get one shot by meteor beam
Balance lol
Palance, MausApe, Farig-TR

I missed my palance
I never got the chance to use it whilst it has some viability
If only incin wasn’t there though. Would’ve loved to use arcane too
Yea
I think harc will still get some use tho
Idk what to use tho
There’s so manyyyy
Palafin
Bax
Basc
Dengo
Ape
So many options
And pulttt
https://pokepast.es/44dc7f50d93ce395
Here's what imma try out
Idk about Sylveon so lol
(Btw these are definitely EVs that can be tuned, just tryna get ideas first of stuff lol)
Ah yes
Cloak Oranguru
Nice
Ok so I may have been ultra glazing basc
Rain honestly runs out before it can close
just Pivot Pelipper but yeah
does good as gold um
negate floral healing's healing
The target restores 1/2 of its maximum HP, rounded half up. If the terrain is Grassy Terrain, the target instead restores 2/3 of its maximum HP, rounded half down.

Not affected by it
But it’s sash
Might go damp rock
@mighty stump is it Comfey Ape time actually
Annihilape going takeover ranked
Yeah but Tofu knows what I'm talking about
Does bax need snow
Naw but it’s nice
no, bax doesn't need snow
just think back to EUIC 2023 teams that dominated
Palafin, Baxcalibur, Amoonguss, etc.
Like no way Palafin/Bax/Amoonguss or Rilla/Incin/Peli will not be a solid team
Yea that’s what I’m gonna run
Damn I forgot about reg c and all that shitv
Good times when life was so simple
What should I calc bax and Palafin for? I think Palafin grassy glide in hero form would be good
I think Palafin is a pretty simple max ATK near max HP with a little in SPE depending on what you want to creep
Bax I think is probably a similar set, something like max ATK, near max HP, and enough SPE to creep something like modest pelipper
yo guys so is everything not supereffective vs terapagos?
you could go a lot faster but I'd rather go bulk and play around intimidate
when they are full HP and not tera'd, it will resist any hit onto it
but only the first hit it tanks while full HP
Yea running sd thx
.begulajr. has given 1 Gen Rep to mlbd
I probably won’t max atk invest a little more into bulk
That one Urshifu meme makes me laugh every time I look at it
Dillon do you think adding grim on this would make it too passive? https://pokepast.es/081ec85041733414
I was also thinking about fari
@next stump thoughts on meta probably seeing grass sitrus incin return?
no need for sitrus though
Things can finally run Sitrus again 🙏
you dont need grass & safety goggles

haze murkrow ig
in a minds eye format
mhm
i dont see the problem like you do ig
gimmick players do gravitate towards planning for gimmicks i feel
¯_(ツ)_/¯
prolly cause you haven't seen every option available and instead tunnel into "meta"
ye I think Incin could see the return of grass tera
Dondozo is gonna be a menace
but it is really nice to have the goggles as well since I'd imagine amoonguss usage will explode
it's a hard choice
because focusing on what matters gives results
having to tera incin can feel pretty crappy
sorry im not prepping for the 0-3 tables :(
zam mu stocks when tera ghost however
idk if u have valid disruption with it i can argue it being good
so does knowing niche and less known sets
Ghost tera feels way too good on zama
planning for what is being actually played >
pokesports amoongus factor 
Just an fyi
unstable and lots of options = amoongus populus explosion
If you encore blood moon, they can do it again right after lol
https://pokepast.es/9630d78de98ce96e grim or d nite on this?
Clear smog and haze stonks >>
Haze Palafin ‼️‼️
Thank god it became a tm
mayahoppins has given 1 Gen Rep to .begulajr.
Smog amoonguss
😭
What is bro doing.
Buts that’s seen right now. Palafin at least makes a return.
I think gastro will be good since he no longer has to take a 130 base attack stab close combat to the face if he wants to stop the strongest water type
Still need to think about grassy glide from rilla tho i don't think Gastro want to take that without terastalizing
I think protect is better on pala
Oh probably, but haze is an option.
idk should i keep using Basculegion cuz its still pretty good
does torkoal/ninetails drought give harsh sunlight?
Not harsh, that’s Primal Groudon exclusive.
https://pokepast.es/9630d78de98ce96e grim or d nite on this? Also sd or ice shard on bax? Sd can be really good because I don’t always have to use it for damage and if I do can just sweep
Bax still hits hella hard without boosts
This Pokemon's Attack is raised 1 stage after it is damaged by a Fire-type move. This Pokemon cannot be burned. Gaining this Ability while burned cures it.
uhhh koraidon did harsh sunlight tho?
That’s just normal sun.
then it shouldnt weaken water attacks
Orichalcum pulse doesn’t even work in harsh sunlight.
It does
Harsh sunlight is exclusive to desolate land.
harsh did so normal sun wouldnt make sense
Normal sun weakens water moves by 50%
Harsh sunlight makes water moves like not useable
They “evaporate”
Ok there’s 2 types of sun,
Normal and Harsh
Normal is literally every other form of sun whether it be drought or sunny day or whatever.
Harsh sunlight can only be gotten from Primal Groudon’s Desolate land.
that’s literally what we’ve been saying 😭
desolate lkand is "extremely harsh"
Ohhhh you mean like that
while "harsh sunlight" is drought
yea ok
according bulbapedia
no one calls it that
bulbapedia does 
That’s it’s formal name
i remember when drough was introduced it wasnt harsh back then so thats why i asked
You’re good
what happen-
anyhow what would be proper ev spread for hisui goodra? i assume its allright still especially now cuz restricted pokemons are banned
i rather use Kommo-o kek
i got spesific team in mind thats why i ask haha. i could probs fit kommo-o in but i like goodra hisui more
and it would be my bulky pokemon with life dew support
it might ofcourse be bad idea but hey, it could also work
shellter + body press and heavy slam as coverage
can reg h start already
Nah just use Acid Armor
Its basicaly that
1month more
true. i like shellter animation more but yeah acid armor prbs better cuz more PP
so max SpD and HP then or 252 hp, 220 spd and rest in defence ?
Watch a replay of a Pokémon battle between prepexerciseno7 and garlic breadwinner! Format: [Gen 9] VGC 2024 Reg H; Date: Aug 1, 2024
womp
actually i might go for
Goodra-Hisui @ Leftovers
Ability: Shell Armor
Level: 50
Tera Type: Water/Fairy
EVs: 252 HP / 132 Def / 76 SpD
Calm Nature
- Body Press
- Acid Armor
- Heavy Slam
- Life Dew
Dragon/Ice
Thermal Exchange, Ice Body (Hidden)
115/145/92/75/86/87
600
Electric, Grass, Water
Bug, Dark, Fire, Flying, Ghost, Ground, Ice, Normal, Poison, Psychic, Stellar
Dragon, Fairy, Fighting, Rock, Steel
Ice-types cannot be Frozen.
Ice-types have their Defense increased by 50% in Snow.
poison definetlyu
Actually nah that’s a fair trade off
poison wouldf make you weak against ground but you could tank annihilape
guys what determines who gets dmg from status condition first at the end of the round
Or fire?
i wonder if incineroar is still usable due klingabit and annihilape 
poison beacuse annihilape
Very much so lmao
okay. my team is coming together then nicely
Incin is easily going to be very dominant
im making rain team atm to test how it works so i guess i should add annihilape in
with coaching and scarf
Annihilape @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Defiant
Level: 50
Tera Type: water
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Rage Fist
- Close Combat
- Earthquake
- Coaching
Maybe
Fighting/Ghost
Vital Spirit, Inner Focus, Defiant (Hidden)
110/115/80/50/90/90
535
Annihilape doesn’t need scarf now
And if you still are running scarf don’t run rage fist
yeah i might go for bulkup setup instead
Why no protect
i mean where do i fit it really. i could replace life dew as its more to support other pokemons butyeah
Yea it’s either life dew or heavy slam imo
ooh i see
protect then instead heavy slam
All mons with leftover should run protect
Yea
i doubt im gonna need it as coverage
To get actual value out of the leftovers
Body press
Acid armor
Protect
Life dew/heavy slam
If rocky helmet then don't use body press iron defense set
In almost all iron defense body press mons
Zama doesn't run it because it literally can't
Yea
yeah was thinking av coverage bot too but what item i give bulk up annihilape?
Uh lefties if it’s not on goodra
Or Sitrus or goggles
Amoonguss spikes is gonna be crazy
Amogus
goggles or LO i was thinking
and farigiraf is basic 252 hp 100 def and rest in SpD?
Just use Lefties on IDBP mons
lefties is on goodra atm
With Kingambit making a Return….
I am not certain
Yea
I don’t really like LO on set up mons other than dengo
Goggles or Sitrus is a safe bet
even then Covert Cloak Dengo moment
What the fuck
Also clear amulet stonks are also gonna be crazy because so many things that were out shadowed can be used but still need a way for incin since it’s probably gonna be even better
CoCl is real though lol
Have you guys learned nothing from CoCl CSR
Which stemmed from CoCl Gholdengo
yea but that’s weird
also i accidentally Put Calm Mind On Dengo in teambuild lmao
And for weirdos
Why is it weird? It’s logical
@mighty stump will you have a blog on how to build this format
Probably
(thank god)
Its easy
No fake out after Tera,and no Speed Drops or Special Attack drops
i dont want to play psyspam again
Its easier than that
idk what could possibly be easier than drooling on controller
Can you play Incin Rilla
And do you know type advantages
That’s basically it
LOL
better than Mausape Moment
omg patcon survivors
And there is a reason my Team has 2 Dark Types
No, Reg A being a lower power format = higher variety = its mostly a knowledge check and being able to break certain algorithms
lets hope that its basically the best format of all time in SV
i think ill sit out until tournaments happen and i can poach a team i like…
like im lost unless i play lilligant
Lol I have a team for you then
I’ll send it in the morning
i have lilli psyspam saved still
The Torkal Lilligant Team?
i just want a real team
Anything can be a real team in Reg H
mhm
I can’t even call anything bad since its so low power
the Metagame becomes Low Power means more potentials for some Pokemon
well… Ursaluna is kinda Mid Power Level
fair
lurantis.
Overall games do not go as quick
Yep, totally viable
liar
I’m not
the contrary is real
it will be viable
she wont be
Grass
Leaf Guard, Contrary (Hidden)
70/105/90/80/90/45
480
Lurantis-Totem
actually Contrary Lurantis works in Lower Power Level
shes sub 500
oh thats 100% viable
this is where stupid niche players like me shine 
you're sub 500
um
it can work though
WHAT
Nova us gonna cook something Nasty to Kick my ass
wait does intimidate give lurantis +1 ? dumb question obv
Yea
mhm
Leaf Storm,Protect,Coverage Move and something else
physical lurantis
superpower contrary
superpower
Just go Covert Cloak Lurantis
under trick room with torkoal and solar blade
Click Superpower like a million times
Sometimes I read this chat just to see if I can understand it, but nah it just completely baffles me
the Gremlin is real

no trick room we find ways to buff her up
fittingly enough its the same set as the Pikachu Tera Raid Set lol
Unironically I believe that set breaks Incin/Rilla and will beat Palafin
hold on
The reason Balance is so good in this scenario is just because its a solid catch-all
cant be gimmick tho you need ways to do damage
not because it’s perfect
i want
dancercorio
like if u bank on sun for ur grass stab is joev
Just Leaf Blade
with Volcarona?
I did
well you have leaf blade
just like how lilikoal runs leaf blade over solar blade sometimes
And Yeah the only mon that can hit things for Crit Everytime is Meowscarada now
So you are relatively safe
with spamming Superpower
unironically dragon might be its best tera :/
Yeah, fair
too frail to have offensive tera
what do you think
Pickles (Lurantis) @ Life Orb
Ability: Contrary
Level: 50
Tera Type: Fire
- Superpower
- Leaf Blade
- Leech Life
- Protect
it gets leech life which is
cool
Covert Cloak
Dragon,Steel and Fairy are gonna be top 3 best tera type probably
Grass, Dragon, Water
for cloak prolly yeah
reg A was super fun so am glad we're getting a
reg A type :3
Lurantis @ Covert Cloak
Ability: Contrary
Level: 50
Tera Type: Dragon
- Superpower
- Leaf Blade
- Poison Jab
- Protect
Honestly go Peli-Pala with this and you’d be set or sth
Grass for Amoonguss,Water for solid defensive Coverage and Dragon for Elemental Coverage?
dragon hm
actually i can see that
but i would fire just for burns
unless i took defensive Tera Type quite literally
Pretty much, Palafin is pretty serious in this scenario.
problem is u want it to be able to live 1
anyways you were saying about playing meta in this reg?
Tera-Dark would be random throughout for Whimsicott and Psyspam, Tera Normal can be expected for Maus-Ape but unlikely
dont make me play lilli psyspam.
Its basically like Metroman returning in Megamind-
He return from the dead
ILL DO IT ill hate it but ill do it
Come play Snorlax Stall with me
OH GOD NO
I can’t believe TPCI is giving me this format on a silver platter
i mean
you can have fun and not play lilispam
since this is a pretty open regulation
just go have fun when you're not supressed by legends everywhere
I haven’t Think about how to build Greninja in this Regulation besides Fast Taunt
bellydrum gluttony 
Hell no
The Tried and True Specs Hyper Offensive?
Yawn Counterlax
https://pokepast.es/85597a9648d7fe79
this is what i have atm
not really sure what im making but um
yeah
There is nothing that can OHKO my Snorlax in this format
i might think about Building Greninja Team due to well my favourite Pokémon
like virtually none and not counting Crits?
oh i can become Penny again
Yep
Reg D Dream is real
ok fair enough
hey
ive consitently won
at least one game with full eevees
in each regulation
i can try Kieran’s Team just for my friend who simps Kieran
but the moveset need to change a bit
Grass
Leaf Guard, Chlorophyll (Hidden)
65/110/130/60/65/95
525
Ah someone remind me to hit Masterball again before Reg H starts
this
thing has
surprising bulk-
same as well,I did thay Last season
Greninja palossand? Lol
Froggy Dream will be real
Ngl

The return of Gastrodon looks pretty real
Gastrodon and Tatsugiri:
Gonna slurp those Water Moves from Palafin
Well Tatsu already quad resists
tbf having A Special attack Boost is alright i guess
meanwhile lumineon 
Oh yeah
