is fighting coverage that good
I mean the good thing about both tauros is they resist make it rain and they chunk arch
Yea I feel that
252+ Atk Tauros-Paldea-Blaze Close Combat vs. 252 HP / 12 Def Archaludon: 158-188 (80.2 - 95.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Yea a double up gets that
252+ Atk Tauros-Paldea-Blaze Close Combat vs. +1 252 HP / 12 Def Archaludon: 108-128 (54.8 - 64.9%) -- guaranteed OHKO
Also fire tauros takes care of tera steel gholdengo
Also gets it after a per fang
Also forces the tera
wisp on it is also real mic e
Yep
but incin on my team is really good with FO
3 immune to FO is so nice
I only have 2 protects on my teammm
but encore and taunt on maus are so valuable
A lot of gholdengos don't care if there's resists or anything, they still spam mir anyway
Yea does a ton

Honestly
Idt I need speed control
And if I really felt like I needed it I’d add tw to hydrei
Choice specs make it rain is that powerful
One of the best abilities ever made too
I really don't know why people are using h decidueye over flamigo, is it because triple arrows?
yeah
Somehow hisuian deci is worse than alola
is it?
Hisui is alright
Has a 50% chance to lower the target's Defense by 1 stage, a 30% chance to make it flinch, and a higher chance for a critical hit.

It’s slower and doesn’t have a good defensive type or good enough defenses to make up for it
Grass fighting is ass
Hisui arguably has better bulk
Yea
It carries it
To mediocrity
worse stats?
id rather more hp and more attakc rather than being an undecided mixed attacjer
*bottom tier anyway

it gets carried by move
It’s slower which is a huge deal on it
just use trick room 
ive used it on a psyspam team before
Why would you pick it over amoonguss in trick room
it works pretty well
Or rillaboom
and why cant you have both?
Because then you lack coverage?

ehhh
it gets good coverage
You want to have coverage and defensive switches and having 2 grass is detrimental
same with having 2 psychic types in an incineroar meta
tell that to psyspam players
what is your point
In trick room you want to get the most value you can in those 5 turns and hdeci doesn’t help to archive that
@craggy dagger phart
Lol those don’t work well, having a lot of psychic types
Hatterene fell like super hard
hatterene was never good 🔥🔥🔥
It was in SwSh
bc armarouge didnt exist yet
there are people who run lots of dual type
whats wrong with running 2 grass types
isnt that why tera types exist
Better to not have to waste your tera for that specific
amoonguss and rillaboom
Everyone just uses one grass, either Rilla, Amoonguss or Ogerpon

anoonguss and meowscarada
Amoonguss and who
? meowscarada is going to be the best grass type this reg
the "urshifu" of this meta minus going through protect?
This move is always a critical hit unless the target is under the effect of Lucky Chant or has the Battle Armor or Shell Armor Abilities. This move does not check accuracy.

What’s happening
welcome to reg H a low power format.
and its coming back 
just cause something falls off early doesnt mean it'll come back
discussing double grass types
sure its not the best to run but like
arguing with an idiot
EMMA
Ah I see
Yeah arguing with you
be nicer smh
sorry you don’t understand anything ever
That’s funny, be nice but that’s funny ngl

you are notorious for awful takes that are just ragebait or delusion
What’s the argument if you don’t mind me asking?
unsure which, your call :^)
First Deci sucks
Ok
Then why bringing 2 grass types is bad
It’s not, bad
unexplored potential
lets call it that
I don’t fully agree with deci being super strong but I see its viability
Definetly fits on the right teams
nobody looks around here in this low power area so theres a lot of unexplored potential here
so you cant really
call it ass because theres too much unexplored
I think it’s worse than alola deci
I’m not gonna look at it but I get why others are
unless its something like magikarp
alola decidueye needs to decide on whether it wants to be a special attacker or a physical attacker 
Hisui Deci has potential
at least hidueye knows what it wants
I think it’s funny that Prima and incin all have like, good stuff going then alola deci just sucks lol
lmao long reach??
This Pokemon's attacks do not make contact with the target.
LOL
oh boy I don’t take Rocky helm chip (that’s actually kinda useful but, still eh)
Real
It’s a bad ability but hisuian has way worse typing
Ghost is one of the best offensive types
fighting coverage is nice
Fighting too but
Right now I think fighting coverage is really valuable
Ghost is more consistent
I’m staring at Tauros constantly because of the lack of fighting types
me omw to hit 2 big reg h offensive threats sith my “terrible typing “
yeahhhhh
lol
I mean Mieshao is right there
Nah
um um
gholdengo and incineroar sends their regards
Hipmontop too

Tauros has intimidate, I like intimidate wisp guy more than the wide guard inner focus guy
Hitmontop then
plus wide guard isnt as useful as it is rn
I like the intimidate guy with an actual attack stat and wisp over the wide guard intimidate spam guy
It blocks make it rain lol
why would you sacrifice fire or water type coverage for pure fighting 
i said it isnt as useful as it was rn

im not saying its useless
its just
not as useful atm
TRUE
plus you resist make it rain too
Wide guard is better in restricted format but still is valuable in lower power
Doesn’t matter
tell that to reg F me who got my ass beat for running wide guard mienshao
Still take massive damage
???
Or die anyway
Fckn bet
Make it rain is that powerful
Tera steel choice specs exist

Make it rain’s a strong ass move
oh 70 SpD
its ass because you'd have to burn tera and lock yourself into make it rain which lowers your special attaxk every usage
It has good defense and ok hp, lacks spD

Yea I learned the hard way you can accommodate for as much as you want
juuuuussst
barely
Very epic (I’m crying)
most run higher special attack less bulk no?
Tbf, I bring Prima to every game with dengo and click CM typically unless it’s krow shit
Nowadays probably unless you’re lefties NP
metal coat is still cool
yayayayaya
better choice
i wanna play Regulation H but I cant figure out a team I wanna use when it comes out
Araq p2 peli could be something
whats P2 again im very not smart
Porygon 2
Cool
I’d suggest this
Then like, an ursaluna, Archaludon probably, and then something to patch bad mu’s
Or another thing that doesn’t rely on tr
Araquanid would be weird there tbh
Although it's probably closest way to make it work besides Hard TR
araquanid is a TR mon

Also 140 attack when using water moves
and immune to burn
And halves fire type attacks, good against torkoal
@craggy dagger do the stankey leg
This Pokemon's offensive stat is doubled while using a Water-type attack. If a Pokemon uses a Fire-type attack against this Pokemon, that Pokemon's offensive stat is halved when calculating the damage to this Pokemon. This Pokemon cannot be burned. Gaining this Ability while burned cures it.
What are totem forms?
gen 7 mini boss fights
Ah
That’s a good ability
Like the titans of SV
the what-

the stankey leg
it gets entrainment too if you wanna mess with that

LMAOOO
right up someones alley
me 
https://pokepast.es/89fb830e2796a0b3 this is the first draft I came up with for the first 3
ooo looks good so far
i would um
be wary of archaludons rain of electro shots though
that’s standard
i remember using this when reg F was speculation on showdown lol
wrong bear
the bloodmoon gifs suck
also am i the only one that sees um
ursaluna's eyebrows to be clouds covering a moon?
yes
@atomic mural incin ursa amoong p2 core + araquanid + peli
bloodmoon ursa or just normal?
normal
oh really?
mhm
ig p2 ursa is an established thing
ye
Lunar blessing removes the burn from ursaluna tho
P2 normal ursa is around
incin amoonguss ursa p2
it re burns at end of turn
yea
Monkes team basically lol
so it doesnt matter
Doesn’t have to wait till next turn?
popular core from EUIC onwards
i had ursa on a kommo-o team im fidgeting with for a bit but eh
No
it was a tad awkward
nope
Well cress has higher speed so
flame orb always burns at the end of the turn
cress is faster so the burn bonus hits
then cress heals burn
then um
ursaluna burns
Moves after ursaluna in tr
and rinse and repeat
shrekers the whole thing with cress ursa was you tr, then ursa clicks buttons, then you heal it, then it regains the burn at the end of the turn
yeahhhhh
it didn't pick up a ton of traction i think tho
cuz shifu was just, the better bear and tornshifu was insanely dominant
when that was more relevant
https://pokepast.es/03a6f2655c07114d so this?
i didnt do the tera yet oops
fairy tera on amoonguss?
fan of tera grass bear rn & try eq > dance ur team looks to pressure in tr immediately
tera grass? just for defensive reasons?
i dont want a glide or jet punch to eat my ass ngl
totally fair
i think pala is handled fine with amoonguss but glide is a different story
Might go tera grass on ursa bm
Tera normal is a nuke
although i think fairy is popping up a tiny bit here and there
yeah try this
realize ur going to be playing long ass games tho
the moment YOU rush your turns you’ll start losing

more value out of clicking lance
But well caly ice has very high defenses so with follow me and healing it stays up
It doesn’t need trick room but it’s nice to have
Bulk up partners are very valuable too
i think a common misconception with it is you need to have tr set up to get it going
which in reality, yes and no
its mu dependent
but you dont need tr to win
Against miraidon for example is a necessity
unlike a lot of other teams that are tr oriented
unless miraidon just attacks
tera electric edrift probably kills or does a major chunk to CIR
with HH definetly kills
Well I set it with Cress or Fari and protect with caly
Yeah in that mu tr has to go up
Or lead inci and cress and tera cress and parting shot inci
oh for sure yea
amoonguss is still really valuable tho
I mean amoonguss can still rage power and pollen puff
yea
Yeah I usually rage powdered the volt switch
Just not spore
i thought about maybe playing mirai when reg g rolls back around
It’s fun I know I will be, I miss iron hands
but mirai is also a differnet playstyle then waht i usually play

Pivoting is good but being forced to it is very questionable
no that forced pivoting is awful for it
the fuck why doesn’t it get brave bird
But well people still use eject button
its extremely niche
@molten oasis y'know what I realized
hmm?
I got Shroom at -speed nature and max IVs
max speed ivs?
Ye
oh yeah that’s a better type
I forgor to change IVs
oof
Honestly it ain't hurting me lmao
Like putting 252 in sp attack on ursaluna and it still nukes
Also Drago I have taken an alt on BO1 ladder from 1-5 to 7-5 now with Primarina lmao
primarina the goat
anyone here wanna match?
In smogon since its easier
Im planning my team for the real game and I want to play around with it first before investing
what reg
H
I would if it wasnt midnight for me
Revival blessing pawmkt to revive dozo
And bring back dozogiri
What’s worse than one dozo
Two dozos
two donbozos
Gross
I don't remember people using gholdengo as much in reg a, was it because people didn't know how good it is
Ah np
trueee onggg
Speaking facts
this new regulation delays the power creep in reg I which is probably gonna be double restricted
No it was crazy in reg a
ok
Lemme spectate
user?
it also allows me to use araquanid without having to worry about getting decimated by miraidon
Shrekers13
Just get decimated by archaludon instead
Alright
true
nice
@jade dust accept g2 plz
I forgot about after you lmao
yea lol
that game was pretty close
its helpful for that specifically
less go
more stop
that flinch game was bullshit
oh for sure wtf was that
it was the power of friendship!!! 
cornyplays has given 1 Gen Rep to drayagedrago
anyone else wanna go?
meow-?
@craggy dagger prima's my own thing
@molten oasis gg, that was fun
throw and i are working on that together
The flinches were funny lmao
ohhh
i see
about to shiny hunt polteigheist
yea ggs, that second game was bullshit tho lol
POV: you are araquanid in reg G
Lmao alolan sandlash carried with flinches
seriously
All the moves I had flinch
hey you should use bax instead
Result: 0.060000
you're joking
I feel like we have a solid 5
6% chance total for 5 turns of flinch jn a row
only one im not sure on is rotom
the rotom sure exists LOL
0.6% chance not 6%
i think im pretty sure you multiply the dcimals by 10 to get the percentage
nono
percentage is by 100
i was laughing drago i cant lie
ahh
but wtf man why is your rng so bad
as they say tho
one zero off 
no joke man
since Im in summer break I lose all brain power related to school
you tell me lol
you still pulled through in the end
the power of bear
Ursaluna was such a great pick
the power of friendship wasnt enough 
the bear is actually scary af

hopefully rotom shows out
that twitter post abt someone running 252+ SpA and still shredding through everyone
rotom heat may not be bad too but thats two fire types again
im actually glad i got a team running with ursaluna
Facade deleted serperior even through intimidate
yea, cuz facade just hurts lol
👍 very epic
ursaluna's my favorite thing out of the hisui games and i havent really played with it
one intimidate just brings it down to 1 point less than 252+ atk ursaluna without guts buff
plus stab 140 base power?
yea, still hurts like hell lol
but also
Can you get another?

i can help if not
mid bulk
what another shiny alpha ursa?
although tbh i might just hunt a normal one, i'd like a low speed one
oh i meant in general you got pla?
oh yea i do
okay cool
i can hunt another one lol
not related to competitive pokemon AT ALL but I bet so much money this is gonna be shit
also yea so the premise of the team is, kommo-o mode and tr mode
since clef and sini work in both contexts
incin too
anyway uh, yippee more dogshit disney movies
they announced Incredibles 3
like, why, stop
um-
if anyone wants to play a quick Bo1 before i sleep :0
sure
damn altaria is still Ass 
kommo-o or prima team?
how you think OTOT feels with swampert lol
idm-
since i’ll be testing this team i made
tbf-
i’ve felt that almost all the time 
um if anyone wants to watch
reminds me wen i got top 500ish in early reg c, it was w/ timid pao 
i fucking love this bear lol
anyways um-
gn
gg wp, gn
Gn
i saw the bear come out and i just thought-
welp im fucked-
lol
if i can protect bear bear go brr
and sini+incin do that so fucking well
too bad this wont work in restricted

thx for the games guys
i got a bear to hunt

you should have seen it
i did a bo3 with shrekers and lost a game to 6 total flinches
5 on my kommo-o
bro in a row
it was so dumb lol
6 flinches in a game? oof lol
Sandlash doesn’t do that much damage sadly
It’s very fast in snow but 100 atk isn’t enough
I just chips away
whats your team again?
I feel like you could easily replace sandslash with baxcalibur
Yeah I’m thinking that
I like slush rush but it definitely needs more atk
It was minetales, sandslash, inci, palafin, serperior and farigiraf
bax and rilla or amoonguss probably fit bette over sandslash and serperior
I need a special attacker and has a nasty plot built in that deals a lot of damage
Fari is built to be special attacker too but it’s less powerful than serperior
gholdengo
is
the best answer by far lol
I have a different team that is around gholdengo
Yeah I know how good gholdengo is, one of the most power creep non legendaries, but I want some variety, that’s the whole reason to have multiple teams
My other team had gholdengo and baxcalibur

just use that one then
cuz those options would be the best here
you can make more variety in teams witht he same mons btw
differnet sets and moves affect how something plays
Yeah but there is a lot of potential to other mons too. I believe serperior has a lot of potential, the main liability of that team is sandslash
Baxalibur or even Mamoswine are better
I really like the idea of sandslash, it’s a very good offensive combo but it just doesn’t have enough atk to make use of steel ice offense
serperior has competition with rillaboom and meowscarada, and decidueye, and sinistcha, i could go on
serperior isnt good
no
im deadass telling you decidueye is better than serperior
serperior is a gimmick
atm
and idt its very good
Idt?
Serperior is gimmicky yeah but it’s a good gimmick. The main weakness of serperior is lack of coverage moves
It only really learns dragon pulse
Thats why it mostly use Tera Blast.
I didn’t get my pizza
That sucks.
Yeah I use tera fire
Fire is good coverage for grass
no its not
Rest in Pepperoni
also yeah Contrary is not really a Gimmicky Strat
I know it has bad SpcA but that’s the whole point of contrary
If it had good base SpcA would be too powerful
ok ty for pointin out my stupidity torrent, its not good
the mon is not good
its does 1 thing decently well, but it explodes too easily and takes too much time to get going
why would they even give it Defense stats when its gonna be killed anyway
Grass
Overgrow, Contrary (Hidden)
75/75/95/75/95/113

1.what the fuck are those Stats
2.its only a Niche but i would still say its a meh Niche
+2 serperior is like, not great damage
unless your pokemon is x4 weak to Grass
Yeah no
I have question do gholdengo really need speed investment or it's fine to makes a bulky one ?
both are fine but its generally what item or team you are playing
Well i kinda want to makes bulkier gholdengo is it best to pair with murkrow then
go for it
95 defenses are fine, it doesn’t just explode
+2 serperior deals enough damage, unless they resist grass
It has good speed as well
I want some feedback on this team, it’s been good for me but I’m wondering if there’s something obvious that I missed.
whatever you say man
ah
the wolfey clef snorlax stuff
looks fine although idk what that toxtricity is doing there
It’s mostly there for damage and helping against rain threats.
Didn’t like the idea of only having set up.
i mean
yea, its very weak to haze shit
Yup.
And so the most obvious thing in my mind was find something that killed the hazers.
With the most common ones being Palafin, Primarina, and Murkrow an electric type just seemed smart.
And Toxtricity hits a lot harder than it looks. That 1.3x boost from punk rock is no joke.
its a life orb boost
Lorb Kommo?
effectively
yep i can confirm that but still
Ohh yeah.
nononono the ability, punk rock lol
anyway yea im doing stuff it just has 2 different modes
it has a trick room mode with sini and the kommo-o sweeping mode
That describes my team as well.
well, snorlax still has to set up
i have ursaluna
so i can just start dishing out damage
Oh yeah well with Sinistcha being present it seemed good.
Ursaluna is also very good.
well yea, wolfey proved that
He also speedties with Amoonguss so can’t complain there.
I also really like how fat he is.
Thick fat is top tier.
He is very handy with it.
thick fat nice
could also try rotom wash
Talk to tofu about Snorlax lol
tofu doesn't like belly drum lax
Curse lax right
What about throat spray
Having a 102 BP spread electric move is very nice against pelipper.
I’m using throat spray on Kommo but that also works.
Hmmmm interesting, lorb sounds decent
I needed a non setup mon so I’m personally using lorb.
I got a good EV spread if you want it.
Optimal lorb HP and can outspeed all pelippers.
I'll keep toxtricity in mind see if I feel like building something different
I don’t suggest boom burst if you don’t have a sound proof or ghost type options.
For obvious reasons.
I could run it next to skeledirge
Having a 182 BP move is very epic though.
Electric/Poison
Punk Rock, Plus, Technician (Hidden)

Toxtricity-Low-Key
Yeah his defenses kind of suck…
i wish that attack went into speed
And that.
what a waste
But he does have shift gear.
So it’s like, imagine if he had more optimal stats.
75 speed is a rough spot though I will say.
TR allows him to beat out fast mons though so it isn’t the end of the world.
Overdrive is such an amazing move too.
dont use shift gear lol
No additional effect.
Electric
Special
80
100
10 (16)
Copied by Mirror Move.
Bypasses substitute.
Does not make contact.
Does not affect Soundproof.
Yup.
And sound based.
I really like leading Kommo + Tox and having them target the Kommo just to die to Tera normal boom burst.
Almost like hitting them with a slightly weaker blood moon.
Actually the damage is somewhat comparable.
136.5 BP when spread.
Just a 114 base spatk instead of 135…
Also do most Ursaluna run modest?
ic
yes
Shucks.
Bless AV Incin.
Living an EP.🙏
I actually recently changed it from goggles incin.
Cause Amoonguss got like negative usage right now.
what kind of evs am i looking at for specs torkoal
Just focus on bulk and special attack
Something like max HP or sp def and max special attack
max max 
The shroom will never lose popularity
i smell psyspam
Work was rough today
shes not cookinggggg

save it for reg h silly it’ll actually be good
what-
you’d rather dusk mane psyspam?
nono it'll be fun
it’s 5am it’s fine
why'd ur link take me to "your phone has been hacked" LOL
LOL
also
wait check team hold on
SHES NOT COOKING
eruption
heat wave
weather ball
earth power
sure
raging bolt torkoal works in reg F idk if it works reg G
i was thinking maybe that or sludge bomb for tha fairies
no u dingus
youll do more with stab in sun neutral than you would no stab no weather boost
idc im unbothered im looking the other way im riding my own wave im in my own world
o tru
idk why this a common trend like
b-but what ab the fairy water 🥺
fairy type is so easy to hit for neutral and be fine why do we always have to try n hit it with some garbage
its true
eruption does 60% to incin and i know a water type isnt doing anything back🥺
welcome to 3 different modifiers
i think i will replace cc with helping hand on h lilligant
no you wont
bc then if i end up setting tr but still bring it i can help tork
i guess thats a bad spot to be in in the first place
or just after u trick room then hard swap + follow me redo ur board state
or if you have it in yr hand just after you eruption lmao
also
