itll be fun tbh

[atomic mural]

Since I dont have to worry about alot of electric/flying types I can finally use my boy araquanid

[chrome knot]

well uh

one of the more common duos are

arch & pelipper…

[atomic mural]

I know that (I dont)

I just wanna use him

https://pokepast.es/1b4d4ea2d4eaf89d If i dont use him I have a cool idea with helping hand incin (I have no idea who should be the other 2 but I think it would be cool to try this idea out)

forgot to tera pelipper

it would be ghost

[cyan smelt]

Whatever you choose you're gonna need some way of dealing with mausape

Oh ursa bm

[atomic mural]

https://pokepast.es/2b8b7a83db549b00 I dont have evs yet but this is what I have so far

[mighty stump]

@molten oasis

[mighty stump]

Super Fang + DP can still KO

[molten oasis]

haha

[cyan smelt]

Do mausholds still run pop bomb

[atomic mural]

whats the usual spread for the ape ( I cant spell its name)

[molten oasis]

pretty sword dog, anyway back to not playing vgc

(the entirety of august is dedicated to fixing my mental)

[atomic mural]

I just stopped playing after finding out I dont like playing with legendaries

[molten oasis]

its not the format its the game itself

[atomic mural]

thats fair

[molten oasis]

for me, i gained a pretty false understanding of the game lost my shit multiple times and then just was told/realized its time to take a long break and rethink/recouperate

so no vgc for me this month, i'll live being behind in september

[atomic mural]

I stopped at some point this summer

I actually think i stopped in may

[molten oasis]

that sounds about right

[atomic mural]

I started going insane after losing because I was just being stupid and overthinking so I just played minecraft

[molten oasis]

ic

anyway i'll be around, not discussing VGC tho

https://tenor.com/view/peace-out-gif-22295199

[atomic mural]

ok

[ember linden]

I basically js got back from mine for another reason. Getting back into the mix is always easy, enjoy the break

[molten oasis]

ty

[gentle crag]

drayagedrago has given 1 Gen Rep to vikxk

[cyan smelt]

i took a break too because my team wasn't doing so well, then i came back and rejigged it and it's doing much better now

[balmy glen]

Alr got my worlds team let’s game

[dull ibex]

hello

[mighty stump]

u suck

[dull ibex]

shut it bich

vc?

need something to do while my cat consumes my sleeping space

[mighty stump]

Im out rn but sure

[dull ibex]

Might be a little quiet

[cyan smelt]

how do i view the showdown ladders?

[dull ibex]

ping me if you come back

[cyan smelt]

lmao i'm watching genius at work, skill swap smeargle next to bulk up incin so incin gets moody

with power trip too holy shit

nice idea but it lost

[mighty stump]

What elo is this lol

[cyan smelt]

like mid 1200s

[mighty stump]

Lmao

[cyan smelt]

also in other news i'm just outside top 500 for reg g bo1, idk how that happened

[solid frigate]

bro is not cooking with Offensive Incin lmao

[cyan smelt]

it got encore locked into protect haha

[solid frigate]

Whimsicott:YOU ARE GOING DOWN WITH ME

[cyan smelt]

it was maushold

also i don't understand this, earlier i watched a game and a sableye was able to use skill swap on incin, how?

unless it's non prankster in which case wtf

[solid frigate]

oh yeah same thing,Gets Torn by the Cute Pokemons with Encore

but with Family

[cyan smelt]

basically watch out for whimsicott, a9 and maushold if you don't want to get encore locked

[solid frigate]

I think Whimsicott is Outside of Dark Types feels the Most Threatening

especially if it has Covert Cloak Tera Dark

[mighty stump]

Get to T500 while it’s early format

Gogogo

[cyan smelt]

this is reg g lol

[mighty stump]

Even better

Gogogo

[cyan smelt]

yeah i prolly should make one last push

[mighty stump]

You know what’s based asf

I keep forgettign Weather Ball is blocked by Bulletproof

It’s great

[cyan smelt]

i keep forgetting protect fails after wide guard

[mighty stump]

Oof

[cyan smelt]

so i'm thinking of replacing protect for ID just so i don't make the mistake lol

[mighty stump]

For Zam? Nah

Just stop forgettin

[cyan smelt]

and i'm thinking of replacing sash on chien pao for lorb and putting sash on torn

[mighty stump]

LOrb Pao is gud

Sash Torn needs Protect imo

[cyan smelt]

hmmm then i replace dark pulse for protect?

[balmy glen]

I know life orb kind of rose in popularity again lately on chien but what teams is it even better on

[mighty stump]

Unironically I whacked it on a Specs Pagos team and it cooks

Cause you just blow everything into range of Sucker

Anything you can shove Urshifu on too tbh

[cyan smelt]

i kinda want to ladder more in reg h now

also i think focus energy scope lens hydreigon is rising in popularity

where pizza with the munchstats

[pearl wind]

is it better to run scope lens + focus energy or scope lens + a dragon cheer user for hydreigon?

[cyan smelt]

if you're running dragon cheer user then it's double dragon so if you're not averse to that it's probably fine

[pearl wind]

i mean it depends on the team obv but most dragon cheer users didnt really fit what i was going for

[cyan smelt]

you could use archaludon

[pearl wind]

there are some dragon cheer users that arent dragon type

[solid frigate]

Sceptile

just use Sceptile Support Set

[cyan smelt]

true

or dragon cheer smeargle kek

[mighty stump]

Gyarados would be your best bet as a utility mon goes

[cyan smelt]

oh yeah guys watch out, mausholds are running covert cloak now

[solid frigate]

it makes sense

[cyan smelt]

yeah it does, just makes it more annoying lol

and it probably runs taunt now too

[pearl wind]

ye i thought about gyarados (and the other bulky waters with dragon cheer, most notably milotic) but i couldn't fit it into my current team so i'll prob build something separate if i wanna use hydreigon + cheer

and i feel like dragon cheer on milo is kinda wasted

[cyan smelt]

there's zard or lapras lol

[pearl wind]

i know

[mighty stump]

Zard or Lapras 💀

[solid frigate]

you can try use Fast Dragon Cheer User like Sceptile first(i think thats the fastest Cheer User)

[chrome knot]

why did i wake up to someone recommending chorizo and lochness monster

[solid frigate]

Lapras i kinda get it But Zard is mostly Offensive so idk

Bish what

[cyan smelt]

Monke hunt your own 3 fam

[bold geode]

I don't recall ever getting a shiny 3 fam

[cyan smelt]

Good because they r tradebanned unless from raid

[chrome knot]

mines from raid

i gave mine to monke to try n get a shiny gbird with

so its been jus sitting in his boxes on sv id imagine

[bold geode]

What?

[chrome knot]

go in game you'll have a shiny fam of 3 maus with my ot on it lmfao

[bold geode]

You sure you're not talking about someone else? I never had a shiny gbird

[chrome knot]

no !

[bold geode]

@chrome knot shi you right

[chrome knot]

i know im righyt

[bold geode]

Getting breakfast for the fam, I get it back to you ASAP

[chrome knot]

ty !

[bold geode]

How fucking long ago did you give me this

[chrome knot]

back when I was in tofu server

in hopes you'd actually hunt people down to trade for a shiny gbird for you lmfao

[bold geode]

Oh yeah that never worked

[silk stream]

Why dosnt H Arcananine get used more with rock head. Ends up having some really strong rock moves and should be able to dish out a fair chunk of dmg, especially if u tera defensively

[bold geode]

Cuz Intimidate is far more valuable

Dropping your opponents damage output is kinda hard to pass up

[silk stream]

But if u had intim on a diff mon, like aqua tauros.

[solid frigate]

Because this aint Singles

Choice Band or Lorb Still works for a Damage Buff

[bold geode]

Usually Hisuian Arcanine is the Intimidate Pokemon
Intimidate+ the offensive firepower sorta gives you utility and damage in one package

[silk stream]

fair

[mighty stump]

WinterKnight just gave me one

For like free

Pretty pog

[silk stream]

ah okay, but then gets outperformed by incin for the intim role. Makes sense.

[bold geode]

Besides usually Rock Head would only really be consistent with Flare cuz, Head Smash is only really effective as a button you click on specific situations

[bold geode]

Nah not really
If you want offensive Intimidate, Harc
Defensive one, Incin

Incin still better, but there's still a clear difference

[silk stream]

Was just thinking headsmash could work quite well as ive seen lots of incins and talonflames. And not many fighting types

but cheers tho, always good to get someone elses explanation

[bold geode]

Yeah but also like final part
Usually Choice Band Rock Slide does FAT chip anyways so like it's fine even then

[mighty stump]

Can’t slap Incin on a team and call it a day anymore

[bold geode]

Bullshit

[mighty stump]

What elo r u rn with Incin balance

[bold geode]

Wow

Bringing fuckin ELO in thos

[bold geode]

Ah

[silk thorn]

Help i have no idea how to deal with stall, gliscor substitute, protect and toxic feels like it has no counterplay, and when you add all the other degenerate stall mons it becomes impossible

should i just build a team with a character that specifically counters garganacl, one that specifically counters gliscor, one that specifically counter skarmory and so on?

should i not use the pokemon i like just because some degenerates online like to play like that?

[torn parrot]

I recommend a taunt pokemon who can set up

Stall is in shambles

[silk thorn]

does taunt go through substitute?

[torn parrot]

Yessir

[silk thorn]

oh thank god

would you mind if i show you my team? that way i can know what im missing

[torn parrot]

What’s stall gonna do if they don’t have their precious status moves uwu

Back in gen 8 ou I would use taunt calm mind tapu fini

[torn parrot]

I havnt played singles in a while tbh

[silk thorn]

does encore go through substitute too?

oh ok lol

I'm a very new into pokemon and the last game i played is crystal. I just want to know how good/bad this answer from GPT and maybe a sample okay team comp

[next stump]

Are you playing the storyline?

[worn bone]

yeah i'm playing story at the moment. I know the game is easy if just to bead elite four(not sure what they call it now) but i'm pretty curios on how is bad/good answer from GPT and what is a real team comp

[next stump]

A couple things:

1. This chat is for online battles against other players, so if you're using a team to beat the story you're better off going to a different channel.

2. If you do want to take this team to online battles, Sword/Shield is pretty outdated and as a result no one here really has a great input on what teams or pokemon are good (especially for single battles which it seems like you'd want to play)

That team would very very easily beat the storyline

[worn bone]

oh okay sorry about that haha. I was not aware. Anyway thank you for your answer.

[solid frigate]

what the heck is with ChatGPT stuff lmao

[worn bone]

haha i was curious that's all

since i don't know i ask chat GPT but then i don't know if the answer is good or not LOL

[mighty stump]

I think Pokemon has just enough nuance to make it so you won’t get good answers from ChatGPT

For competitive at least

[worn bone]

yeah i also think it's not a good answer. I was just curious afterall haha. Like i know it's gonna bad. But how bad is it

[craggy dagger]

microsoft copilot however-

[mighty stump]

I’m definitely not anti-AI I just think the boom has been going into the wrong direction LOL

[mighty stump]

Well it’s passable. Like it’s not outright wrong. It just has enough odd bits that aren’t correct that stand out

[craggy dagger]

but human creativity is the best when it comes to teambuilding

[worn bone]

oh i forgot one thing this is not the original team. I've asked GPT to update the team to use only pokemon catchable from Sword since i also want to try to build the team my self haha

and have to use Inteleon as well since i already 10 hrs into the game with it

[craggy dagger]

you’re not gonna get any better than choice specs harcanine with AI

The only thing i have is

Ursaluna-BM Clefairy

Inci could work i guess it's good into Gholdengo that is one of the main threats to those two

[nocturne holly]

Horoark

[solid frigate]

im trying to build something ;-;

[foggy lodge]

Could work

Ok thought on Chandelure

[nocturne holly]

Don’t think it’s that good without zama

idk could be alr

[foggy lodge]

forget it it has 60 HP

I need something that can threaten Gholdengo and can take atleast one hit from Anni

Lol

[nocturne holly]

https://pokepast.es/6a28307827d52e39 do i want prima or pala on this? And thoughts on the last slot

[next stump]

Palafin, the team would be super slow with Primarina

not the worst thing but it’s hard to play with every game you probably being out sped

[nocturne holly]

Wbt the last slot? Was thinking fari

[molten oasis]

So glad I don’t have to do this for a while

[balmy glen]

Now b drum eiscue

I’m done

[dapper crag]

Ability: Ice Face

If this Pokemon is an Eiscue, the first physical hit it takes in battle deals 0 neutral damage. Its ice face is then broken and it changes forme to Noice Face. Eiscue regains its Ice Face forme when Snow begins or when Eiscue switches in while Snow is active. Confusion damage also breaks the ice face.

[ornate sequoia]

any pokemon suggestions if I'm running a Talonflame/Metagross as main lead?

[atomic mural]

I have NO idea how to make good ev spreads

[ornate sequoia]

tried using a girafarig/BMursaluna but works better as separate lead

[bold geode]

Knock Off Rilla ain't great, you're gonna want U Turn or High Horsepower

Or Protect

Also you're mixing a support and sweeper Farigiraf from the looks of it?

[ornate sequoia]

I wanna share the build i use with girafarig and bm ursaluna but I can't see how to send images, is it because I'm new?

[bold geode]

Yes
You have to be level 6 in the server to send images
Although here we do prefer Pokepastes as they show more info than images tbh

@chrome knot wanna see Stamina Duck

[ornate sequoia]

Just replace the electric seed cause miraidon is no longer allowed, I wanna change it to throat spray and change tera blast for hyper voice

[bold geode]

I'd replace both Foul Play and Tera Blast for like
Yeah Hyper Voice Psychic Noise

[ornate sequoia]

Yeah foul play also not working like I wanted to, but sometimes is awesome to have

[forest arrow]

It’s really only for CIR so you can do without

[craggy dagger]

foul play is okay for dozo and such-
but not a necessity

[ornate sequoia]

gotcha, I still need 2 more mons, got metagross/talonflame as lead 1 and farigiraf and BMU as second

Was thinking in Murkrow Haze if I encounter dodonzo, thoughts?

[craggy dagger]

oh also regular ursaluna
foul play checks that really hard

[forest arrow]

I wouldn’t run talonflame and murkrow on the same team

[craggy dagger]

[ornate sequoia]

That's what I thought, what would be a good dodonzo check?

[craggy dagger]

clear smog amoongus

[chrome knot]

novaaaaaaaaa novaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I found the family of 3 (!)

[craggy dagger]

hellou
how can i-

[forest arrow]

A number of haze users, such as murkrow, palafin, even primirina, Amoongus with clear smog is also good

[craggy dagger]

um

https://pokepast.es/960a11c49057802b

[ornate sequoia]

Talonflame Metagross / Farigiraf BM Ursa / Amoongus and ????

need one more to start testing, any recommendations, maybe a water type?

[craggy dagger]

why are you um
categorizing them into 2?

[ornate sequoia]

I normally run talon meta as a lead or farigiraf ursa depending on match

I'm still new, so mixing them so much confuses me

[craggy dagger]

i'd try to make a team where everyone can kinda synergize together
And aren't limited to two specific pokemon for leads

ah thats fair
um
if you're gonna run talon meta fari bm shroom, id maybe add dengo

[ornate sequoia]

That could work with my explosion metagross, thanks so much

[forest arrow]

Yeah Dengo>metagross

[craggy dagger]

you can always swap leads
depending on your opponent
i can see um
talon dengo
talon meta
or fari meta
fari dengo

fari ursa,
ursa amoongus

[ornate sequoia]

Im writting these down, thanks so much

the laugh I let out when p2 picked up trace holy fuck

I was confused AF cuz I looked away and was like "why is my duck at +2 defense"

[craggy dagger]

oh it gets analytic

[atomic mural]

Do I make pelipper faster or stronger?

[craggy dagger]

um
prolly speed > SpA
you already have a base 100 and 110 power move

plus you're max anyways so speed would prolly be more valuable here

[forest arrow]

Go timid

[forest arrow]

^^ was about to type that

[atomic mural]

alright

thank you guys

[craggy dagger]

also um
good to see you back around ThrowDat :0

[forest arrow]

Same to you!! It’s been awhile! I took a long needed break and came back playing better than ever, I think breaks are important 🫶🏻

I literally left when you came back XD

[craggy dagger]

[rustic mountain]

[torn parrot]

breaks are very important

[craggy dagger]

breaks are always nice since then you're not so focused on playing a game to the point where you overthink and lose a lot :0

[solid frigate]

Exactly

even if you win a lot and you are burnt out,Resting and Breaks arr good

[nocturne holly]

breaks are hard

game is mad annoying and stupid

speaking of i probably need a break

[torn parrot]

yes i hate breaks

but then immedately feel better when im forced to take a break

and then kick butt

[bold geode]

[solid frigate]

[nocturne holly]

these speed tiers are so fucking annoying

[craggy dagger]

ah

that would be it-

[nocturne holly]

There are so many things in the 80-100 base speed range

and they’re all close enough that I NEVER know how’s going to be faster if one side doesn’t have tw or some shit

[solid frigate]

And it doesn't need to care about intimidate that's why i want to try it

Tell me if you want any of them I’m on my switch already :T

i forgot vacuum wave is a priority Move

[craggy dagger]

i’d prolly just keep steadfast

[knotty mirage]

I'm actually thinking of using terra fighting and aura sphere instead of nasty plot hoping it could one shot BM ursa

[craggy dagger]

so you can get a boost when flinched-
and you can prolly opt out of vacuum wave and instead go for a coverage tera blast

[knotty mirage]

Or should i just use gravity sableye and focus blast

grab inner focus instead then

[solid frigate]

WELL FU

i guess steadfast Lorb works

[knotty mirage]

Speed raised when flinched that's kinda good

[solid frigate]

its good unless against TR

[craggy dagger]

it’s just
lucario can’t really utilize its abilities for a special attacker

grimm maybe? idk bout defensive switch cuz most times ud want to lead it but it certainly can be utilized in that way especially w/ the pre existing incin/shroom core

not really sure wat else fills the role ur asking of off top w. the members u have already

[bold geode]

Finally hit 1200s

[mighty stump]

Add a Fairy, complete fantasy core

Slap Sylveon on it, call it a day

[rustic mountain]

p shot w/ screens nd fairy stab seems good enough imo. like i said b4 ud def want to lead it most games. idt sylveon is a bulky switch in. maybe on the sp def side depending wats coming its way but overall i dont view it in that way. also grimm w/ screens makes ur whole team more defensive

[mighty stump]

More damage

[bold geode]

You see Stamina Duck Tofu

[rustic mountain]

thats not wat they asked for tho haha. i was jus trynna go off their prompt

[mighty stump]

Yea

[rustic mountain]

[solid frigate]

wait SPECS????

I need to know why

[mighty stump]

Cause its funny

[solid frigate]

just more damage right?

[mighty stump]

Yea

[bold geode]

Also Horoark worked against the monkey

I slapped it on mine lmao

[mighty stump]

ngl that replay was tough to watch, why did u rage powder under tr and tera instead of just sporing the dpult slot b4 it even switched to peli?

[bold geode]

Specs Gholdengo with Steel Beam

[rustic mountain]

stamina duck was funny tho

[mighty stump]

He just got out of 1200s go easy

[solid frigate]

i just use Scarf Horoark but Specs sounds Funny enough

[mighty stump]

He no no get big word

[rustic mountain]

sorry

[bold geode]

I was actually trying to get the shroom to die so I could get Ursa in safely

[rustic mountain]

ahh ok

fair enough

[bold geode]

Cuz I was like "if I can get this duck next to Ursa in TR, I just fuckin win"

[rustic mountain]

was a nice headlong rush at the end there

[mighty stump]

Then Ursa ate BPress and then ate After You

[nocturne holly]

what do I need

[rustic mountain]

definitely helped accelerate ur pace

[mighty stump]

[bold geode]

Yeah it didn't go as planned lmao

[solid frigate]

https://pokepast.es/e64cf3975fad52b2

haha sometimes it doesnt, atleast u won

[bold geode]

The shroom did not want to fucking die

[nocturne holly]

Alr chesnaught player

[rustic mountain]

shroom is the goat

[mighty stump]

If ur losing accelerate their switch out the window

[solid frigate]

Chesnaught is goated ngl

tofu can run chesnaught b/c he has the skills

[mighty stump]

top 250 btw

[rustic mountain]

thats the point

[mighty stump]

in like an hour

[bold geode]

But yeah like I'm surprised they just gave up and used TBlast at the end like
They could've won, they just had to bank on the crit

[atomic mural]

assault vest will-o-wisp 💪

[rustic mountain]

yea they def had an out they did not opt into

[bold geode]

But I was willing to roll on them getting a crit cuz like I'm +6

[mighty stump]

You know

[atomic mural]

I see

[mighty stump]

I cant wait for Specs NPlot Gholdengo to come back

[rustic mountain]

trick nasty plot?

[bold geode]

I also once although I lost, I damn near won one game one time cuz my P2 traced Moody and almost outpaced everything immediately

[mighty stump]

Yea

[rustic mountain]

haha yea im sure itll make its rounds

[solid frigate]

and thats Pure accident but we take this second

[nocturne holly]

I was using specs n plot dengo

[mighty stump]

Honestly even till now sometimes I wonder if Imm just lucky every time wjth my climbs then I remember my terrible RNG and realise that can’t be it

[rustic mountain]

nah

[mighty stump]

Ngl I feel I hit more Fissures than Sleep Powders

[rustic mountain]

if its consistent its consistent

luck happens most of the time, even in my climb w/ kommo-o i had rng and hax against me and still managed to go like 16-0

[mighty stump]

I broke my rule of no caffeine before 12 pm and I can feel my stomach growling

[solid frigate]

How lmao

[mighty stump]

More because hitting Fissure is significantly more impactful

So it’s more memorable

Like

[solid frigate]

tho i suppose hitting Fissure is more hype than hitting sleep powder

does caffeine like increase diarrhea or whatever

[atomic mural]

I tried making an ev spread myself

[nocturne holly]

Loosen your stools or some shit

[mighty stump]

No, caffeine is a stimulant that increases gut motility

Aside from the general nervous system effects

Its why people who drink caffeine on empty stomachs need to go to the toilet or if theyre sensitive/not used to it

[solid frigate]

I can’t drink too much Caffeine lmao

[nocturne holly]

So it makes your gut a little goofy

caffeine is mid

[mighty stump]

Caffeine is a good friend if you know when to utilise it

[atomic mural]

TRUE

[nocturne holly]

I only like coffee for the taste

[atomic mural]

I have too many ice mountain water bottles on my setup

[mighty stump]

Caffeine in itself doesn’t wake me up or anything but it does at least increase alertness mildly and gives more focus

Sometimes it makes me sleepy

It helps with dopamine or something

[nocturne holly]

I’m p sure

It does

[mighty stump]

I avoid it before 12 pm because I like it to make your 100% > 110%

Rather than trying to make your 90% > 100%

[nocturne holly]

oh shiiitttt

[mighty stump]

Cause that’s how you get crashes

But today I’m feeling particularly tired cause I had a medical seminar til 10 pm…

[nocturne holly]

https://pokepast.es/b92075d6b482daed anyways would sylv be good on this?

[nocturne holly]

When did you want up

*wake

[mighty stump]

7:30

I got home around 11

[mighty stump]

Probably, Grimmsnarl is also fine if you want something slower. Speed control is also free to slap on so TWave can be appreciated but probably less so with Gholdengo being the main problem. As a real Fairy choice you’d probably be looking at Primarina more

Although personally I’d just toss Rillaboom on there for your Psyspam MU, but your Archaludon MU is kinda meh

[foggy lodge]

I think this lacks of speed control but idkk https://pokepast.es/2af5eb1d2526e858

[nocturne holly]

Yea archa is pretty bad tbh it’s either get good damage with pult and then chip it or just dengo tank an e shot tera electric

[craggy dagger]

meow?

[nocturne holly]

Would prim and pala be ok together? Double water

[mighty stump]

Only thing with Clef as a Gholdengo partner is that it’s pretty useless aside as a Follow Me bot

[chrome knot]

ribombee?

[mighty stump]

Prim technically doesn’t improve your Archa MU either kek

[chrome knot]

@mighty stump i have a fam of 3 shiny maushold raid if u want it!!

[mighty stump]

I like 4 fam Maushold more

[nocturne holly]

What’s good into archa?

[bold geode]

Get to 1200s and then lose 2 games lmao

[mighty stump]

Ursaluna can force Tera. You can technically chunk it with a strong Fairy like a post-Throat Spray Primarina. Set-up Ghold can also roll through it just fine after an NPlot

[craggy dagger]

lemme boot up sv

[mighty stump]

Ursaluna bot regular and BM

[foggy lodge]

Yeah the Clef/Ghold lines become very lineal

[mighty stump]

Imo Archaludon’s main weakness is dependancy on Rain (obv) to get going and the lack of recovery/protect so chunking it hard and early can stop them from retaining control of the game and keeping the momentum

[foggy lodge]

Idk if i should add tailwind or trick room

[mighty stump]

Combinations like Super Fang from Maushold + follow up can also be good options

[nocturne holly]

I don’t see ursa or maus on this team so ig something that can help dengo set up even more

[mighty stump]

So Maushold

Lol

[nocturne holly]

Maus on this???

If I do that rilla would go over amoonguss I assume

[mighty stump]

You don’t have to run Rilla

Unless you have issues with Psyspam

[nocturne holly]

But would like the double redirection from shroom and maus be ok

[mighty stump]

I don’t see an issue

[nocturne holly]

so support maushold or just have follow me on a more offensive one

[mighty stump]

Support

[solid frigate]

https://pokepast.es/5ced55c5ee0606b9

Kinda have a DisQuake Idea

[nocturne holly]

You think that would be too much support and not enough offens?

Tbh I could run av incin and it hits decent

[mighty stump]

That’s fine.

[mighty stump]

DisQuake no Quake

Based

https://pokepast.es/e802b2ce3246f84c Not bringing Basculegion that much, should I keep it in or switch it out for smth else? Any other feedback would be great too

[spiral ridge]

Any teams in specific you have trouble with?

Certain mons or whatnot

Hey jesta hope alls good love

[dense latch]

I'm trying to figure out a gameplan for MausApe

[spiral ridge]

Ah my game plan for them is very odd so I can’t comment too much

But if you don’t care and wanna hear it’s a fairy tera blast dragapult with choice band sometimes with a harc in case of fire tera

Now if anyone comes and recommends elsewise (tofu or some shit) please listen to them I am not that experienced a player

You could do like. A talon flame with gale wings and brave birds to have a prio move to do a lot

[solid frigate]

moment

[dapper crag]

Ability: Gale Wings

If this Pokemon is at full HP, its Flying-type moves have their priority increased by 1.

SableyeBot version 4.28.0

[spiral ridge]

Peli already sorta does this with a sure hit hurricane doesn’t it

[dense latch]

I think I might be able to do something like leading Pelipper + Gholdengo and set up Tailwind and protect gholdengo, next turn I click make it rain tera steel which is an OHKO i believe

[spiral ridge]

Uhh

You can calculate that

[dense latch]

nvm

[spiral ridge]

You can also use peli as your offense. Hurticane for its fighting and if it teras to fire you have weather ball

[dense latch]

I did the wrong calc

[spiral ridge]

Ah

[dense latch]

but maushold should die after that

[spiral ridge]

You can do a defensive tera on ghol (water or flying) and nasty plot, set up tailwind. Then shadow ball

However anything like this where you can let them pop off their combo is dangerous

[atomic mural]

https://pokepast.es/f202e907ee265136 I got 3 pokemon evs donr for now

[dense latch]

idk about shadow ball because of follow me

[spiral ridge]

True

If you really want it like this

Calc this for me I’m on my phone but
Choice specs steel tera 252 spa ghol vs ape

You can do your tailwind and try to make sure your peli out speeds to get tw

[dense latch]

252 SpA Choice Specs Tera Steel Gholdengo Make It Rain vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Annihilape: 170-200 (91.8 - 108.1%) -- 50% chance to OHKO

[spiral ridge]

Ah then no

Hm

Doesn’t it learn dazzling gleam?

You could do fairy Tera as defensive. NP. Then dazzling if you’re worried about follow me

And again always have peli with hurricane

Or to be safe against a fire tera from ape you could weather ball and expect your ghol could kill the mouse for the WB to hit ape

[dense latch]

252 SpA Choice Specs Tera Fairy Gholdengo Dazzling Gleam vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Annihilape: 168-200 (90.8 - 108.1%) -- 50% chance to OHKO

[spiral ridge]

It’s +2

NP first

[dense latch]

oh yeah

[spiral ridge]

And even then that’s a good bit of damage

[dense latch]

but I might as well just do make it rain since they do the same damage

[spiral ridge]

Super effective

[dense latch]

bc I'm not dropping shadow ball or protect over it

[spiral ridge]

It’s fighting vs fairy

[dense latch]

252 SpA Choice Specs Tera Fairy Gholdengo Dazzling Gleam vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Annihilape: 168-200 (90.8 - 108.1%) -- 50% chance to OHKO
252 SpA Choice Specs Tera Steel Gholdengo Make It Rain vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Annihilape: 170-200 (91.8 - 108.1%) -- 50% chance to OHKO

[spiral ridge]

Oh you’re saying damage wise I get it nvm

[dense latch]

yeah yeah

[spiral ridge]

Sorry took a sec

[dense latch]

you're good dw

[spiral ridge]

But also

This is with choice specs gotta drop that for protect

[dense latch]

thanks for the help with the brainstorming actually

[next stump]

make sure you’re factoring in Friend Guard

[dapper crag]

Ability: Friend Guard

This Pokemon's allies receive 3/4 damage from other Pokemon's attacks.

SableyeBot version 4.28.0

[dense latch]

damn you're right

[spiral ridge]

Then you prob do have to uh

[next stump]

I don’t think there’s any way of OHKOing ape with Gholdengo especially since they’re mostly defensive tera’s

just aim to get the maushold

[spiral ridge]

Yeah

Probably uh

Ghol make it rain to get maus then peli clean?

If you do protect TW with sash you should be able to

Long as you get the maus

[dense latch]

124 SpA Metal Coat Tera Steel Gholdengo Make It Rain vs. 252 HP / 100 SpD Maushold: 128-152 (70.7 - 83.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
and that's a KO after pelipper attacks

[solid frigate]

hmmm

[spiral ridge]

I meant like

OHKO maus with ghol and peli attacks ape

[dense latch]

if any of the two faint, bring bascu in and aqua jet

[spiral ridge]

I mean you’re tailwinded theoretically you could do any of your moves couldn’t you

Ah wait sucker punch

[solid frigate]

Priority Moves:

[spiral ridge]

Yup I was thinking too much of just purely rage fist for a sec lol

[solid frigate]

Follow Me is +2

[foggy lodge]

+2 252+ Atk Annihilape Drain Punch vs. 164 HP / 4 Def Ursaluna-Bloodmoon with an ally's Friend Guard: 163-195 (77.9 - 93.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

I fought a Anni maus rn

Really the Clefairy Ursaluna is a great duo for those two

[spiral ridge]

Jesus

That’s good yeah

[foggy lodge]

Worst scenario would be taunt Maushold

But if it taunts i can tera normal blood moon into the Annihilape

[next stump]

what’s your turn 1 play? follow me + hyper voice?

[dense latch]

i keep running into sash maushold

[foggy lodge]

Yeah usually

[next stump]

I could see that lead being solid then

[foggy lodge]

Follow me doesn't let the Maushold activate the Annihilape

[spiral ridge]

Ah shame then

[foggy lodge]

I don't blood moon because the maushold can follow me

[next stump]

what if they taunt you and then turn 2 have super fang + drain punch

does that KO ursaluna

[foggy lodge]

Nope

[solid frigate]

just Hyper Voice it lmao

[foggy lodge]

I think that without any boosts it's a 3HK0

So

[solid frigate]

yep im using Horoark for Mausape

[foggy lodge]

Taunt forces a 50/50 so it's more problematic too

Cause if i try like protect hyper voice they can use beat up into Annihilape

But i'm more worried of drain punch, at the end of the day the win con is Ursa

[solid frigate]

Zoroark Hisuian Form be like:

[spiral ridge]

Be pretty

[nocturne holly]

https://pokepast.es/b92075d6b482daed Dillon what do you think for the last slot? Tofu recommended maus for the arch my super fang then follow up

[solid frigate]

nah completely walls Mausape lol

[cyan smelt]

Should I put mental herb on farig to stop taunt?

[spiral ridge]

I assumed you meant that just joking

[cyan smelt]

What's hisuian zoroark doing back to mausape

I just fought a mausape team, used helping hand tera normal hyper voice

[nocturne holly]

Shadow ball?

You just target down maus first

[cyan smelt]

True

Nasty plot, hyper voice, shadow ball

Psychic noise is so good for stopping drain punch

I gotta show my H team sometime here cus it’s so random it’s kinda funny. Working so far though

Actually lemme see if I can find a link

https://pokepast.es/0b7120db69ebef08

[cyan smelt]

Looks solid

[rustic mountain]

i feel like its not too random the first 4 are pretty good ho tools and then u have gambit there which is a stat stick in this format and a tr/e force answer in gallade

[spiral ridge]

The original before I got help was much worse and concocted at 4 am

And it’s whole idea was something that doesn’t even work mechanically

[rustic mountain]

wait isnt that novas team

[spiral ridge]

Gallade also shits on any samurott unexpectedly

[spiral ridge]

They helped make it yes.

[rustic mountain]

gallade hits pretty hard

[spiral ridge]

It do

Wanna see the original? It’s funny

[rustic mountain]

lets see it

[spiral ridge]

https://pokepast.es/de4be8501e29838f
I thought shadow tag swapped swap moves aswell

So since I know nothing besides what’s popular as I made this it kinda just became an “answer” team

There’s no self goal I just made shit for others teams

[rustic mountain]

3 atk goth

[spiral ridge]

That’s for palafin and ursa s

It worked way more often than you’d think

[rustic mountain]

also av pult is.....something

[spiral ridge]

Okay that has an explanation

I didn’t know what items to use and was gonna ask which to use in the morning so I just smacked random shit on

That’s it 😭

Berry and AV in specific

[rustic mountain]

yea usually band is there but since h arc has that and dengo has lo im not sure wat else would b there
