I just wanna ask
When the fuck it has Tailwind-
I remember it winning a Hong Kong event
or am i just blind
yes tailwind icy wind
I should probably start writing about Reg H soon for Emma’s sake too
Ahhhhh the Place i should start my competitive Journey-
seriously how did i not see those events

finding friends that would enjoy lurantis company is actually difficult
also Sinclair said Gren Palossand makes me feel quite interested
Oh I can help with that, Emma
funny setup pieces for lurantis seem too passive
Have you ever played MausApe
should i just use Tera Grass Greninja or just more offensive Tera Water
non
dude
what is the gimmick behind mausape
Beat up
The thing whimsicott do to Terrakion
me:HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE

also ngl i dont get it with Palossand Greninja combo
like Water Compaction i forgot how it functions
This Pokemon's Defense is raised 2 stages after it is damaged by a Water-type move.
what threats should I account for the most when building a team?
Palabalance
Friend Guard + Beat Up to activate Annihilape. Perfect horizontal type synergy and Super Fang/Feint is great to enable
The volatility of the combination between standsrd Maus Ape vs Pop Bomb/Gambit makes it also hard to tell in CTS scenarios
The myriad of supporting moves Maushold also gets means you can’t really guarantee a shutdown on that set between things like Taunt, Encore, Baby-Doll Eyes
Only real way you tend to beat MausApe is to deny the initial set up and then overwhelm it with strong consistent HO, which also doesn’t always work since defensive Teras come into play fairly quickly
Depending on what system you use
Then there is also the mirror
Also, the main mistake people tend to make is caring too much about Annihilape
Once you just get rid of Maushold you basically deactivate the system
would I be crazy putting in p2 + ursa at the back of this
Nope
Usually MausApe is either opener or closer
So it’s really up to you
P2 Ursa sounds like itll work on Palance better though
Dismantle the Maushold
I wonder if Maushold will be better than Clefairy on this reg
Different uses.
You cannot recreate MausApe with Clef at all
Makes sense
Its a formula that is fixated
witness my frankenstein creation tofu....
https://pokepast.es/47199931b4961a27
Maushold is also more active in participating with the opposition
You know
Pretty based
welp
honestly Dillon Predicted it so
And i am fine with Reg H
ok in terms of this working, I give it 0
me too
Kinda looks how I expect it to go
powercreep is real
ooo yum
Its not power creep-
i just didnt expect pokemon to acutally do it
if I spread it will you test it
whats the word for it exactly?
ur the gimmick girl and ive created a monstrosity
Lol, Pokemon has done Spikemuth Cup and Banlist formats before
shoot
i will do that
Reg H feels pretty standard compared to the alternative
I’m just grateful.
And also mildly annoyed I personally still have to play Reg G
Breath of fresh air
Even through Reg H
tbf,Its not that bad
Its just the format feels very dull and hard
Oh, I know it’s not that bad. I’m always the last person to lament about a format
I’m just personally bored of it
and sure innovation is a thing for all formats,Its the repetition of Reg G makes is bored
Like it’s still growing, just we’ve already hit a plateau
@mighty stump im ngl I pulled up usage stats for January of 2023
Lmao
It’s a funny chart
welcome to
um
early vgc
and most of the More relevant Restricteds already got their Formula solved
No
reg C
oh
No Paradox either
am misremembering then

Lurantis is Atk hits bump, from reg g I know 75 is a comfort cir number so imma go 75 same on that rest in bulk

how to make Primeape Great again
Its simple:Kill them when they have Growth Spurts
I have the most optimised MausApe
with Snorlax right?
on itttttt
No, Snorlax is a different thing
Ah ok
If I’m bored I’ll bust out the MausApe
not gonna spoil
@craggy dagger smol change peli goes 236 in SpAtk 12 in HP 4 in both Def stats pla
Me and Yotam hit like
Top 10 on ladder
Last time it was relevant
Despite the mirrors
i still have to build a Greninja Team AHHHHHHHHH
literally,Thats almost 11 hours
Oh wait I’m pretty sure the Reg A system we have is gonna just blow through the opp
im not touching the format until after worlds
you guys can make the meta calls 
Lmao
im just gonna make Basculegion lol
basc is
Primarina gonna be good (it’s probably cope)
a top 5 mon so ye
I won’t be surprised to see Horoark
honestly prob strongest fairy so
Call Snorlax meta rn
Snow will have, something maybe
I think it’s better than sylv so yea
only thing that even contests prim for best fairy is atales
I’m popping off
Any format Rotom is good in is a good format
^
I get to use my favorites and not suffer drastically
Sylveon kinda dog water ngl
tbh I have a prim team
Primarina is right there
at least Primarina has potential
I kinda don’t know how to build Greninja with the gameplan
Idek what imma do now
Might go with the rain Peli Arch shit

Just do damage
I won one of the vgc reg h 60 person room tours with prim xd
Peli Arch Pala Incin Amoongus + 1
Move on
@molten oasis
Throat spray prim I think will be really good
Oh, cool
How to lose to MausApe
Ik you won’t share the sauce lol
I think mine was rocky helmet
Ill think of the partners later
Honestly I pinged you already but
Mfer can it be time for the Churchaludon?
no i will i dont mind
Probably would work
its a recreation of my old team tbh
I thought about it in vet office like damn Comfey Ape Arch would kinda go hard
lol
It needs help Special Defense wise though
honestly i really love how we fusing old and new meta together
I’m gonna be on Prima hype train but I’m not sure where to go with it. I played some bo3’s yesterday with a friend
You know the Churchaludon spread
Yeah could probably like just
Tera Grass Arch lol
find ur fwg core
He played mausape my entire line was spamming hyper voice
Send it to me idk if I saved it or not
then find ur dragon type
he done that alr
I have the Comfey and Ape spreads
Incin rilla, Bax, dengo to get fantasy ig
What other dragons are there
Salamence…
…
Mence is also backkkkk
mence is back on rain ye
Meh
Literally all the Pseudo Legendaries that ate Dragon types work
Scarf Mence
theres a lot of good dragons wdym
Oh wait mence seriously back?
Bro it’s Reg H
all dragons are good look at the fairies xd
Salamence is doing Roaring Moon’s Job but better
True the threat is Prima for dragons lol
We are back to Azumarill being the best physical fairy type
And Prima gets nuked by physical hits
Yep not even Archaludon can save me
wym
Actually Tofu dumb idea
Comfey Ape Arch Sableye
And then a Sand duo
i probably played badly but eh
Uhm, lemme go stare at the builder
Churchaludon solos
Churchaladon stonks rise
wait i can just Build my Reg F Team minus Urshifu lmao
Oh can we see a return to harc?
Prima dengo bax core
That sounds terrible
Like Sand to mess with weather and for a faster paced offensive duo, plus Sand with Arch or Tera Steel Ape widdle down shit
yeah
Tofu looks at that like "MausApe"
Unironically
Apparently my team’s weakness was dozo and not mausape which surprised me
Bro its easy to beat MausApe
But i have a spread water attacker lol
vc anyone?
oh wait Liquid Voice Hyper Voice goes hard
I wonder
ill join later
Fuck it
Maybe
VC Tofu?
Hyper voice liquid voice get boosted by stab?
Nope not even H-Arc can do it
gross.
Yes
yep
No.
Hyper voice makes sound moves water moves
I have work, I should be asleep but I can’t sleep for some reason
I suppose pixilate also gets the stab boost too?
I need help with Reg H
They took my legends and now I'm crying cuz my toys are gone
S l e e p
My brother in christ you have more toys now than before
Monke we can go experiment if you want
There’s so many things to play with lol
Honestly as content creators, we be ballin 
Your toy is rilla you’re fine
LOL
Just don’t lose in the builder LOL
Tofu we can figure out bullshit lmao
what are the rules of reg h anyways
Who’s we
Me building the sauce just for it to lose to dozo
And if you want body press zama back just like. Population bomb onto archaludon for similar damage 
Tofu help me with Churchaludon
Hell no
Nah
Kommo-O
If you can’t teambuild in Reg A what are u doing
Oh yeah you did tell me that
LMAO
Actually
Kommo-O Ttar hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Monke, past knowledge helps
Mausape
is it time to bust of my reg b team again
Like drastically
fair
Drago if so get in this VC and let's cook mfer
Ok
ye nah im just going to copy n paste my old team this too easy
Thing is I sucked ass in Reg A so
I was good at reg a I think
This lower level is actually new to me 
Well apply what you learned.
Apply what I learned
Apparently what I learned all loses to MausApe so I guess my lesson is run MausApe
If u know what ure doing this is basically easy mode
@dull ibex open up the vc
I remember one team that was that but with Tera rock Whimsicott
It got top 8 at a regional

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
i did just start reg H as well
Bitch you got sauce 👀
I was trying at first like Palafin Incin Rilla Ghold Sylv Dnite when like
I wanted to do Kommo-O
this is basically my team except peli over dnite
Although idk if I do Incin still or Harc
its been really good jus took me a 2nd to get a handle on such a different format lol
Eh you lose to MausApe 
i guess luckily i havent played mausape yet. i feel like w/ tw and rain id be fine
wtaf is ur opponent playing
idk
im just reusing a team
Thoughts on Gyarados?
with slight readjustments
old sauce turned new sauce
Is it almost just Zhang's Sac team?
Lmao
That's what I was thinking 
Good into Palafin balance so
EMMA WHY IS PELI KEEN EYE
you almost cost me a game girl
cooking
I can't find anything that's consistent lol
is my team garbage 🤔
3 showdown streams oh my

@craggy dagger LOOOL in his headdd
worlds is reg g
People cooking ig
For next year?
Probably double restricted
to be fair its his fault for being tera ground
well its 50/50 i could superpower there and get the same result
I think they are just making time to make 2025 worlds double restricted
i was more worried abt knowing ill always live if i follow me
@craggy dagger i think we need like a fast mon lmfao
Time for more bloodmoon shenanigans
Meanwhile Reg F:
Died horribly
I think imma try balance Prima, snow don’t work well with this and it’s just kind of a gimmick lol
small snapshot of worlds race I saw on twitter, not fully updated since they’re only updating the standings of locals that have confirmed results
so I think first place should be Luke Bowar with like 195CP

I think I want a dragon most likely
Mm maybe I go CA Harc

we dont have alot of staying power
that porygon likes to have in its partners
https://pokepast.es/532be6b1f42a7aae thoughts on 6th?
Is bloodmoon ursaluna still one of the best trick room attackers?
Can I get help on a possible 6th here?
its literally the best in the New Format besides Torkal
Just had to make sure, thank you
Ursaluna BM
lol im abusin early ladder with ribombeeeeeee
Power is equal to 50+(X*50), where X is the total number of times the user has been hit by a damaging attack during the battle, even if the user did not lose HP from the attack. X cannot be greater than 6 and does not reset upon switching out or fainting. Each hit of a multi-hit attack is counted, but confusion damage is not counted.

i wonder if weezing is strong in reg H 
Weezing @ Sitrus Berry

Level: 50
Tera Type: Dark
EVs: 252 HP / 236 SpD / 20 Spe
Calm Nature
- Protect
- Taunt
- Will-O-Wisp
- Sludge Bomb
I'm wondering about mandibuzz and corviknight
wezing kinda seems prety strong beacuse neutralizing gas lets me control when abilities will be activated and seems like maushold friend guard with annihilape kinda denied too
tho tera fire anni probably will be problem beacuse will-o-wisp wont have any effect
Roar Of Time on Infernape? Need to know how useful it is
this is not hackmon channel
I was referring to BDSP when there was that glitch still
I turned a monferno into dialga, then it turned into Infernape with roar of time
well this is competitive channel not glitch channel
just got top 100ish again but w/ kommo this time 
wow, congrats
i mean its early ladder nothing crazy lol
thats true yea
jus nice doing it w/ 2 different kind of teams
format is pretty fun
gna not try and play it too much so i dont get jaded before it even comes out
im going to explore hydra/dengo/prima
i wish ninetales would learn lava plume, pair it with flash fire doom and doom would go brrr

i think hydreigon has some kind of merrit
yea
in the format
hydreigon is definetly one of top contenders
could be something for archa tbh
i think mostly all the psuedo legends will have a place. some more then others
archaludon cough
yeah. Goodra hisui im wondering how im gonna ev it up
i dont think its really a psuedo. has to be 3 stage. its def around tho lmao
Good shit
Gonna try it out myself

fair enough
https://pokepast.es/d9131e9b54df242b thoughts?
yea i jus used the base 4 from esms sac team and went from there. bundle became a maushold and flutter became sylveon
i might make dengo scarf tera steel tbh lol
bulk volcarona going to be also something people might use more
dengo has room to be a choice guy
tho id say those 2 could def be changed. the other 4 are very good
https://pokepast.es/532be6b1f42a7aae
I kinda feel tempted to put Kommo-O here, although Bax was another option
any1?
This shall be my team of choice
why azumarill though
Completes a fairy dragon steel, and fire water grass core.
And choice banded azu hits like a truck
And has really good bulk
You probably don't want to be lowering your attack with choice band
Wdym
Superpower lowers attack
I threw that on there for random coverage. Still iffy on the 4th slot.
also incin nerfs
Running special salamence
Primarina could be good yeah
idt thats a great option but ok

yes

I got Bax rn and it good, but Kommo-O probably better for Steel types
I was worried about too much setup with Goldie + Kommo-O
I guess with alot of intimidators calm mind could work
Though it probably fine
i mean ur prolly not gna b bringing both to the same game anyway so shouldnt be a problem
1 mode will b better depending on the mu
Yeah it be fine
I think i will swap out azu for primarina here
Hopefully it also works as swap around during Palafin mode

its really easy as a swap in sometimes
especially vs the rilla/incin/palafins
really the most annoying stuff is whims encore stuff
Farigiraf lol
the hate for incin is returning
y
parting shot is ticking me off

Lmao
live grassy glide from rilla
check other things, other notable physical attackers
maybe wood hammer without terrain
Can u live grassy glide in any spread?
you need defense investment
I guess
someone tried to smeargle muk me lol
Updated
you can probably go modest
Maybe with the double intimidaters
I want to be able to swap in primarina into things tho, so i think I'd prefer the added bulk.
ok then
Part of the reason why i liked azu cause it was great at doing that.
So random question for the competitive types here. Does Protect prevent a friendly pollen puff heal?
Even with full offense investment
then run azu
Yea i think I'll go back
https://pokepast.es/31f505059d4a3e6a quick idea i have here
i know the team looks iffy
Actually Bax better than Kommo-O here because like
It's something I can bring into games with Goldie mode and Palafin mode tbh
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2024regh-2171616180-bww1o62nixo3m45spigkrv6pg76a8tapw

Watch a replay of a Pokémon battle between huhuhyes and Electro99AG5! Format: [Gen 9] VGC 2024 Reg H; Date: Aug 1, 2024
im playing so bad
that was me my first handful of games switching to this format
huge crit lol
harc feels good
i managed to win cuz the ape was slower than my rilla
and wood hammer chunked it
the body press? i think the double up was koing there regardless haha as long as rock slide hits
no i was, that was my game i was saying for lol
ohhh
i mean arm w/o indeedee? and why rilla
team seems really clunky as is
id lean into tr mode, get indeedee on, rilla off have it as gambit scarf ape and add like torkoal and bm ursa
yea
if u want a hoodra team id say get ape and arm outta there and add like screens grimm or something
I'm sticking Bax yeah
ur bax
bax is cool
r u saying u think monke is cool?
no
cause by transitive property .......
i think bax the mon is cool
Tree you think I switch incin for harc and do like rilla or another fo on the last slot? https://pokepast.es/9630d78de98ce96e
im gonna lose to ttar flinches
haha im just joking cause i said monke was bax and u then said it was cool
i mean probably yea
so no av and it gets chunked by dengo
its really early format id say just go for it
harcs been good for me. diff style team im playing it on but still
Man the fact +2 Shadow Ball didn't get Arch
wow, 1400's already damn
it kinda dunks on incin/rilla
Harc is goated
i like CA for that
What item you’ve been running?
sitrus
band also works but i think protecting for FO is nice
u? or u mean top of the ladder
the top of ladder
yea
Yea I’m either running CA or band
i've played 10 games today lol
haha
does harc run max max?
im also playing with 5 members
Probably
i like the longevity more
im running some bulk
works good for the team im using
depends how ur running it
if band i think max max is fine
for sitrus hell no. band yea probably
Hmmm
What speed stat should Goldie be hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Maybe I just outspeed Peli
Are you running wisp or just damage?
im talking for gholdengo atm
Wbt for harc
i think dragapult has some nice potential
harc i was using howl but im boutta switch to wisp for the dozo mu
im staring at one
Nah though I can do 114 or whatever
any thoughts? not for my team, just the mon to star
otherwise jus standard protect/blitz/rock slide
It's good
i think every psuedo legend has a place. not sure where dpult ranks among them but it isnt bad
Fastest mon in the whole format lol
https://pokepast.es/2e769b31bb923bbc thoughts? thinking maybe adding houndoom for spice or is there fire type suggestions that would pair well with sun team?
Monke what bax set are you running
electrode, but its not really uses much or at all for my knowledge
bm and torkoal w/ no tr setter? gotta atleast get that in there. also set up ape w/ 1 fake out and no maus seems kinda meh
oh yeah and i gotta ask, people here seem to be mentioning bax a lot
is there an interesting set about it?
Wait sd or swords dance bax
I like clear amulet dragon dance
bax just seems good
https://pokepast.es/2984c68b90cc8c42 I tried my bet, not so sure about the last one tho
either no set up shard/glaive/crash/protect or sd over shard
Worst thing is having to rely on icicle crash but meh
Y'know what
109 would probably be common
Why not 110 Goldie just to creep?
yeah. farigiraf was option as tr setter
true flutter is gone
why?
seems fine enough. i never seemed to miss out on the speed personally
👍
atleast as of now in the games i played w/ that team
i have
Yeah but considering I was 124 speed or some shit like that
are the people playing ttar just all burning down the kitchen
Maybe
ttar looks good tbh
i found a specs ttar
lmao
im finding the people NOT cooking with it
i think tofu ran mixed ttar tho and had some success w/ it
Dragon dance or sd bax leaning towards dd
mixed is not specs lol
Rock/Dark
Sand Stream, Unnerve (Hidden)
100/134/110/95/100/61
600
Tyranitar-Mega
ive gotten pretty high up so far w/ it haha bring it to most of my games. specs specifically is just shit haha
oh you're playing ttar?
@rustic mountain i did also consider ninetales instead of tork but ninetales is kinda trash
ye
cool
on the kommo-o team
its basically esms sac winning team but maus and sylveon over flutter and bundle
y not prima?
There are better dragons i think
alolan ninetales or kanto?
im looking for a good dragon for dengo/prima
kanto beacuse sun team
maybe worth considering, i jus threw them on there tbh
yea torkoal is just a better sun setter unfortunately
i think prima has more value over sylv, if you dont have a water type already
Kommo
torkoal just is better sun setter
yea i def think its an option. ill prolly swap it out and see
Kommo -O gholdengo is pretty good
kommo-o is set up based and my primarina is the set up guy rn
Fighting/steel/ghost covers almost everything
yea prim is pretty common atm id say
how would one, counter a tr team
but im rockin that rn
play better
scarfed dengo?
i really like tailroom but idkkk
y not
I feel like i lack of offense

@molten oasis lookie lol
palafin balance, nice
screens, mm
i should just ignore the guy that said Mewtwo is the 2nd Strongest Pokemon-
wow the kommo-o and prim
would torkoal liligant be a problem to account for
didn't tera prim there wtf
ig i can try it out
but idk how im dealing with archa rain
is there a guy with the showdown usernmae bwahacough in this server
why?
stellar exca was interesting

id say having atleast 1 is pretty good but the kommo team ive been running has nothing
idt i have room for tw
i think it jus depends
well, i dont have redirect for prima either
i think i go redirect screens or speed control
I really want to try hydrapple
nothing does all lol
good luck, maybe try it out on ursaluna stuff
id take rilla off, put ape as scarf gambit and then add arm/indeedee to round it out
oh yk what, go fari normal ursa and support hydra
Max hp?
apply yawn pressure with it
What are you running
and heal ursa with pollen puff
nah i have 108
u still want it to do damage
Yea
so, do we think screens redirect or speed control with this?
well i guess i swap fari into indeedee then
i mean u dont have to but i think set up ape is kinda awkward there. if anything u can add maus
keep rilla add maus and jus try that
was thinking doom to round it to make use of sun
otherwise i would probs swap torkoal away
beacuse it really gains nothing 
houndoom? i mean im gna go w/ no but if u wanna try it
Have you tried tw on hydra?
idt houndoom is good but u never know, this would b the format to try it
Over ep
no and i want it to be an attacker
Uh if that was my team I would go prob grim screens
ok i made a team for the new reg, not super confident abt the sixth member tho https://pokepast.es/2984c68b90cc8c42
But that’s me
never used grim
but who would i replace
I was talking n to someone else lol
o
it would be kinda like mini chi-yu https://pokepast.es/04645d9245051fdd
i lost hope on Pokémon Fans,Especially ones that only watch Anime-
also doom with lava plume torkoal would boost it heatwave as little shenanigans 
i mean why not run daschbun?
Obliterates psyspam which is always a win
https://pokepast.es/ce3df27f77d50d7c i am so lost with the new reg, how's this for a starting point?
this is the first non-restricted format i play since series 9 in swsh lmao
gotta expect this when using smeargle ig lmao
0atk rila?
that's a mistake
ah
idk why it defaulted to that
uhh im dumb so i cant really
i think like thats the reason why Learning Comp durinf Restricted Format is not very good for your Future days
also goldehengo
https://pokepast.es/981f54bfbed3cf13 so uh any ideas for last 4, i realised moongus was not needd
i did
but this might be easier for me
yeah i wish i started earlier this gen
and i still have alot to learn
https://pokepast.es/26b902a31d9bb856 thoughts?
I think the best would be during National Dex (Early) and Regional Dex period due to simplicity to more challenging
whats the teams game plan?
oh i forgot
now i made more supportive maushold https://pokepast.es/bea48f5917cb43ea with encore protect added in
set up and support primarina
protect the king bascially
i mean try it out, i jus dont see it atm

Wonder if we're gonna see any quaquaval or if palafin is just better
At that point I’d rather run Tauros lol
Literally a BO3 I should've won
Nope lmao
I'm not touching my main again lmao
@solid frigate i made your favourite basculegion team https://pokepast.es/af50e46b411c95cc 
It's literally now all horrible compared to what I usually do
ehhh its ok.
Like its not as offensive as mine but good effort
Quaquaval dancer team otw
Everything you do is horrible!! (Hi monke)
i kinda dont really like this approach,Maybe Volcarona over Quaquaval?
Anyways
I see mostly BM Ursa and some Steel types
@rustic mountain What you say
Quaquaval is for a physical oricorio
Hey what the fuck is up my guy
Physical Oricorio??? S A U C E???
Good good making a comeback for reg H this is what I been dreaming of
Pog
Gotta keep it secret for now 🫣
Aka still need to build it
Show me the sauce later
Ya will do just fine tuning a couple things
Basically hmmm
So I'm thinking 2 options actually
Either instead of Bax we go Kommo-O or we go like
Regular Ursaluna
Kommo-o
For The Zamazenta Nation

I mean Fake Out Cycling + TR + Guts Ursaluna just damn
maybe can try two versions? I do that a lot of times when building Teams
Maybe idk
yeah that may help you if i being honest
wdym

So far what I be seeing at least
Hoodra?
honestly Both Ursaluna is gonna be common
i havent seen hoodra much yet but that reminds me archaludon has been common
if it was still Mid Reg G i was like Whats with Hoodra and Pokemon Community
anyone available for a bo3?
How do you handle it?
I think my plan is trick with dengo and then EP it with hydei
reg H
Which is why I’m scarfed
w/ kommo? usually some form of maushold to let kommo get an id up then jus go from there. they usually get baited to draco and then i just tera and ko them

Cool

its beens good so far ngl
So 3 choices for this
https://pokepast.es/532be6b1f42a7aae
BM
Reg Ursa
Kommo-O
i thought u were going bax?
I'm weirdly thinking either Kommo-O or Reg Ursa
I don’t see kommo
Steel types are too much tbh
On that but ursas look solid
Until the end of the turn, all single-target attacks from the opposing side are redirected to the user. Such attacks are redirected to the user before they can be reflected by Magic Coat or the Magic Bounce Ability, or drawn in by the Lightning Rod or Storm Drain Abilities. Fails if it is not a Double Battle or Battle Royal. This effect is ignored while the user is under the effect of Sky Drop.

Bypasses Protect-like moves.

Bax ain't doing shit either besides just a swap in
The target makes its move immediately after the user this turn, no matter the priority of its selected move. Fails if the target would have moved next anyway, or if the target already moved this turn.

Hear me out
Safety goggles ignores follow me
im against the idea
It don't lmao
Clefairy,Ogerpon,Indeedee are all solid ones
depends
Yeah but not broken
but since Ogerpon does not exists in Reg H then Clefairy
It's not like a tank pokemon having it
fair
Psychic/Normal
Own Tempo, Synchronize, Psychic Surge (Hidden)
70/55/65/95/105/85
475
Indeedee
Tho i kinda starting to miss Ogerpon a bit
no shit it was an idea 😭
Clefaory is tanky wdym
But it's a Clefairy
Fairy
Cute Charm, Magic Guard, Friend Guard (Hidden)
70/45/48/60/65/35
323
That Pachirisu surviving a Draco Meteor:I fear no men

clefairy after being immune to it:
Primarina goes hard
i sitll dont know which mon to star 
finding this format pretty confusing
i tried some teams ive done in the past, but eithout the paradoxes, or legendaries, it just dont click
ima just run swampert
Tree I'm thinking about Annihilape as 6th now lmao
I can't decide
are all of you running prim???
im running Peli basculegion with your Favourite Tera Ice Meowscarada kek
just try something and play it haha
theory crafting can be infinite if u let it
i am seeing a lot of rain team tbf. Are you using arch?
Lmao
The one thing that's stopping me is idk how Kommo-O would do against MausApe
yeah,Archaludon,Meow,Peli,Basc,Incin and chomp
Hell I'll probably try Kommo-O
how come garchomp
Although BM Ursa is another option
yea try it, and if it doesnt work then swap to bm, u said u have giraffe for that mu
Like
Body Press/Shadow Claw/ID/Protect
also surprisingly enough, i havent seen a grain of psyspam
https://pokepast.es/d519b9f7e17a19dd honestly might go prima over pala being weak to intim is MAD annoying
But I don’t wanna set up with her
Yeah that's my problem too xd
So in terms of annoying cores we have:
Indeedee psyspam
Beat up+annihilape
Smeargle muk
Beat up+lucario
Dondozo tatsugiri
What other water types are there
Bro
Palafin is actually not weak to Incin lmao
I don't know where to start

Just wanna try the synergy with Pelipper

Beat up Lucario/Terrakion is fine
Earthquake Spam

Treeandberries
and Wide Guard Peli can help against Gholdengo
sure my team isnt weak against it but against Rock Slide, it helps a lot

rilla and incin
Fomantis

Hitmontop
Mienshao

Shiny Hisuian Arcanine Tree 👁️

Low key thinking about hit

mhm nah mienshao
https://pokepast.es/337074e4339a75ef mirnshao or the top
Top gives me intim
Which is really useful
And feint
Uh if I go top prob do choice harc
@modern harbor lurantis
i like lurantis
:D
they have been p much
yes 
shiny everything now that legends arent allowed
Is there another harc set that is not choice band
Moxie thinks Pala isn’t fully back
can actually use stuff that isnt shiny locked
Because of rillaboom
I think there was an AV one but i always saw choice band xd

I’m playing clear amulet
should i shiny hunt one now
Tera Water Mystic Water Palafin can probably chunk good tbh
If Palafin don't outspeed Rilla naturally there's a fuckin problem
Monke
2nd highest gxe in the top 30, someone has 79% haha
Rilla will go and wood hammer the palafin even if it underspends
