Are you gonna be playing zama for worlds?
So real
Imagine if Turtle or Miraidon actually Won World I’ll be actually fine with it
Cuz screw Calyrex
I mean can’t do nothing against a mirror in Zama mirror
Zama mirror is one of the most linear mirrors of all
Actually I think it’s the most linear lol
what does it mean?
meanwhile Miraidon or Turtle
Those aren’t as linear as Zama mirrors
Especially turtle
Miraidon it depends
still are linear,But i mean you are the Zama guy
I played every restricted
its like can you Starstorm fast enough lol
Miraidon can be linear if u make it linear but even in the mirror theres other stuff u can do like Iron hands Farig lead to beat the Whim Mirai lead
not me i play CM Cocl Pagos so idk
Where as with Zama you have to lead Zama Chien if both have it lol
just body Press moment
mhm
Unless you have Tera Ghost but even still
usually i fight Zama or Shifu they always convinently have Tera Grass
God damn it thats the last thing i want to see
Hey this my draft team yall would yall use it https://pokepast.es/80feaa692a7f9e44
no god no
What the actual fuck is that-
Except for the Ninetales and maybe some minor team adjustments
Maybe
Like it's not great, but it's not horrible
Y'all are way too harsh with that shit
Nine tails was the only drought left
koraidon sets the sun babe
Thats why i have it! But switch in for like rain
I don't think you need 2 abilities like that
At most you'd want like Sunny Day Torn
It is the resetter.
rain dance mon
Sunny Day Tornadus would've been better than Ninetales here tbh
or even Sunny Day whims but he gets the point hopefully
hm
sunny day farigiraf
- As Farigiraf from a TM, HM or TR
- As Girafarig from a TM, HM or TR
Since when-
grips your liver

ouch

lets gooo
i just finished ryans worlds team in game
dubs
Who’s Ryan
ryan reynolds
bro becomes hyper
Bro beating up children smfh
erm, based?
Dude
Kaneoji's one of the best players I have ever played against and this is my first time playing against him
Lol
Lmao
Tofu Casually beatin up children’s Pokemon
Well
I wouldn't say it was casual
Ngl my mons clutched it out
I had like 1%/2% lives
and a game-winning Fissure
So you beat a child hardcorely? You monster
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/6gC9E2Ff4cc POV: you are Tofu
we take those
Well I get ya'll are poking fun at the fact he's not in the Master's division but yeah great player
He do be skilled tho
Skilled is an understatement
Didn't he runner up LAIC too?
Yep
thats cool
people don’t get it
this chat is mainly casuals
And there's a very obvious trend with Senior's div players being able to transition very well into Master's division, it's not that different
summer bugs keep biting me
I do have to say though someone else used my Snorlax set and won their match too lmao
Snorlax is 3-0 on the board
Just use T-Tar at this point
That's only one rock type
Power spot to boost my rock tera rock slides
i guess Rhyperior has a niche but stonejourner i am not certain
perfect
isnt that guy Very Specially weak like 30 SpD or somethin
What a goober this guy
Doesn’t know the sauce of 3 rock types
Oh no I get it
Dudes DEFINITELY good
But also the joke was there 
fr
Why not 4 Rock types tho
WAIT
i need context 
monke’s cooking, but what if, 5 rock types
no i just think ur all idiots unless you play the irl circuit
There is no context
lmao
Wowww
all Rock types 
Emma just say you hate me
So Tofu's an idiot 
YOURE THE EXCEPTION YOU DUNCE
YAY
ornch name or be keanu
I mean I am an idiot, but I at least know SOMETHING hopefully
Tf did I do
Exist
Wooow

may i please not be an idiot
Tofu those aren't GIFs right
You're a GIF
Wingull after eating a Hyper Beam moment
Dog
crazy

G - Very
I - Bad VGC
F - Player
Wow
Great breakdown of GIF buddy
But fr I don't think that "oh you don't play the circuit so you're not serious"
Issues do arise so
Okay kids settle down
But DAAAAD
The only intelligent one here is me
Gatekeeping much
sends Monke outside
I’m just gonna
"they started it!"
leaves
not really, im just not interested in what someone who only plays 1300 ladder has to say on most days

That's pretentious AF ngl
Australia doesn't really have a vgc scene so I can't exactly play irl circuit
you get to join tofu
you guys
this convo is bad vibes
There's 4 regionals a year
You guys have regionals?
my country technically has 2 a year lol
Singapore has nationals
I’m just lurking
Oh yeah I forgot Asia does their Nationals weird shit
Locals are also self-arranged
im a good hater :3
I think tcg is bigger here than vgc
Better win
Thing is I don't think there even SHOULD be hate
Hate can breed toxicity, which is why game communities become fuckin shitty to be a part of
I should just participate in a regional next year even if I suck and lose all my games
I mean next year
honestly the same can be said in Manchester as well
Tcg feels more popular here than VGC
and the twitter admin still did not give me the Server link therefore I can’t join Locals ;-;
people named hate and toxicity
As much as I want to make VGC as accessible as possible I also believe in gatekeeping things
Cause there are natural gatekeeps
You say this and say we talk nonsense?
in game nonsense u dunce
I can spoonfeed you as much info as you need but it doesn't change the fact if you can't apply it you're still gonna suck and not have a good time
I have been applying that info
And then mindset also matters
Being able to hop in discussion with a certain approach
It’s helpful, I’m winning games again, learning too which is the goal rn, but I’m taking more games now
Yeah but just flat out saying "hey you don't play irl circuit, then you're not serious at all"
Like oh yeah the thing I've been working my entire ass off for is just fucking irrelevant
My gxe is up from when I started so at least I'm improving
because half the time i see this chat its idiots waffling over fucking AIR
There is also a trend of people having to convince the other person of that they are right and the other are wrong whenever they disagree
Instead of being able to
cough
I'm just here to have fun and improve
I was toxic before but I don't want to be like that anymore
Im just here
Yeah
I just feel like sometimes points need to be said
Anyways I'm gonna go work on a blog that goes over something I don't give a fuck about
The "suit yourself" approach is a very good one I highly recommend
Nothing could be as bad as when ray and Jaysp were here
Oh
i really hate those guys
Disclaimer
I am going to contradict everything I just said
Fuck those two pisspads
despite being the same exact person
lmfao
on alt accounts
Holy shit
lmfAO
I have never hated
me when im 1 person arguing with myself
i might ask the context but damn
same
On this living planet
everyone on earth can agree with that statement
On the account of life having started a bajillion years ago
I'm pretty sure I have seen microflora causing nothing but pain inside a dog's ear tell me more useful information
Maya can you tell me the details cuz idk what the fuck happened
Than the absolute fucking waffleshit I have had to read
He was a guy with two alts and he would start arguments and the alt would back him up
1.Why bother
2.Bro being so pathetic that is just Ridiculous
I might hate them more than i hate someone that i am not teling any names
theres a really toxic guy jaysp who would constantly lie and spread nonsense and pretend to be other people and fake his acheivments and use his alt account to back himself up in arguments
he's stil around to this day on like a random league server with like 5 alts and makes a new one every time he's found out
I'm relatively patient and I'm fairly good at just going away to do something else if I don't like something but in the holy name of our Heavenly Father if I saw those two ever again I will approach them with the fury of a spiked baseball bat
Fucker actually also lied about Justin Tang being his coach and saying "ackhchualy replay reviews are pointless" and I literally just went
Jaysp is actually some Filipino YouTuber or something
OK
if Tofu hates him that much then i probably go to next Level-
Bro is even more Scammy than Verlis
Nah wtf was the dudes name hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Allegro also I think it was?
he actually went around saying he was justin tang's alt for a bit lol
Mr MMR
bro ain’t doing Indentity Fraud without noticing
We actually have a more recent person in the name of Witty be here recently and they're basically along the same lines of people
funny
meow-?
hai nova
I do not care if they read this the first impression was stupid and enough
Lemme ping em.....
oh yeah that….. i think i was here when he yap about dog shit
I mean if you want to start an argument where Mods have to be involved then sure

But I have better things to do on my day off
steals your leg😭
Yeah write blog shithead
Write blog monke
theres an innate power inside of him to invoke pure rage and frusteration
mrrr-??
its amazing really
Write Deez Nuts bro
don’t tell me is that guy
Or is it someone else
Ig part of vgc is trying to tune out all the bad takes
got ur noseeee
hissss-
its just,Sometimes people can be dumbasses
monke are you still cooking that Zama team
phew i need to go do something positive
I don't mind if people don't know any better, but if they're actively spreading misinformation or stubbornly saying something is viable when it's not then it's gonna be a problem
Yk who I’m talking about
@mighty stump does normal ursaluna need 0 speed?
Depends
That guy can just

I'm doing Reg H now 
Although literally Reg G comes back after H so just wait til then
i think your funny queen
Pre prepped content
Me with Reg H with all my Reg A knowledge
Lmao
https://pokepast.es/97782e5c26419728 Alr does normal Ursa need 0 speed on this team?
whaaa i think ur bunny queen
You got it
I see no problem either way
Less grinding for me, does the team look ok?
There's no way I'd use my reg a team for reg h because it sucked
Just throw some Reg A Knowledge and add some funni Reg F stuff
Nah Tofu I said I felt bad for not posting this last Zamazenta team then I realized "wait Reg G comes back, pre prepped content"
Rotom is just, peli answer, cuz peli mu sucks balls lol
No clue I'm prepping for my Region Rumble match
Oh ok
I'll just hope we won't get last minute Reg G locals here
probably not
My reg a team died to rage fist and other stuff
I only have the specs Turtle and Rajan Bal Mir teams to use 
im still experimenting Hisuian Typhlosion moments
so both Specs moment
I’m so happy for a reg g break
I should post my reg g team up in rentals, I'll do it once I get to top 500
Reg g, is not that fun lol
Ok what are you using
I might share my new Terapagos team in January cuz I haven’t shown the sauce and Team Report on it
Zama, rilla, urshifu rapid, chien Pao, torn, skeledirge
You use the better dog no shit you’re having fun lol
It's still a tier below miraidon and both calys though
god I hope Unseen Fist gets nerfed next gen
Make it nerf the damage if target protects
Is it Tera ghost or Tera Grass for Zama
I think I should go tera grass
yep I’m dead
I was running tera fire because will o wisp was annoying but that's bad against urshifu r
Well, I do love a good mu into ice rider at the very least
Although well played CIR can beat anything
If you do have any coming up lmk and I'll try to get something going hopefully
So you can at least use it for that
me when aug24th local
Why the fuck do entire families walk into a restaurant at 10 pm
meanwhile me:half of my team is weak to Ice
Cuz hungy 
lemme do nothing in peace
Meh lost Region Rumble
F
Unlucky sleep turns/misses but it's ball
Now I can relax
And also move on to Reg H
Was that the last reg g thing you were doing, this week?
Yeah Region Rumble and OPL
Team didn't make playoffs for RR I think but OPL is going alr
So far somehow I managed to stay undefeated
in OPL
Snorlax is god
Normal types carry me
Terapagos and Snorlax
Shoutouts to Maushold and BM Ursaluna
and Farigiraf
What about normal bear?
I hate indeedee lol
Psyspam archetype, is not something I’ve ever enjoyed playing against
Good thing we have rillaboom now
Oh true
Rilla can't take +1 Armor Cannon
Ttar is so annoying for armarouge
Idk, strong spread special attackers just kinda piss me off
Harder to slow them down, especially the horse 
You know what does beat Ttar as a Fire-type though
TERA-FIGHTING CC INCINEROAR @chrome knot
NO
based
LETS GOOO
Why you like CC Incin so much?
cc arc>>>
hes a lunatic
he sent me another rogue idea in pms it was literally cc incin in disguise
God speed
looks at your lungs
Ofc he did lol
They’re still there
not anymore
At least get a good market price on them
They’re clean I’m an innocent boy no tar on them
a crisp US $20 bill

Like it was some genuine info
Punctuation having ass

It’s 1 am for me but I’m genuinely so anxious now that shits getting done tomorrow 😭
scotty go kentucky in october
yea id do it asap, i think spots r still open but def dont wanna chance it
Anyways as I was typing before that cus I deleted out of fear I am going in expecting to do absolute shit and am more going to just try it out
totally not cus I joked about it and nova peer pressured me into it
I can not drive let alone to Kentucky I’m like 40 from Baltimore
nuts
i wouldnt really put an expectation on it, jus play pokemon and be as confident as u can be
Yeah
I wonder if o should go with this gallade team to do purely for fun or actually give it a go and start trying some more meta teams
Well if I’m doing purely for fun it’s the gothitelle team 😭
listen to this song youll win asf https://open.spotify.com/track/0Gsis1GcDagl5Gb1Bv8kCd?si=nuFzWs56QKmAPJSiYhwd_Q&context=spotify%3Aalbum%3A45yX5o8qtuqwJDhwj3ZDYi
id say to try and take it more serious but its up to u at the end of the day
The embed failed but I fucking knew it 😭
Yeah fair
LOL
like def still can try and have fun but if ur gna make the effort to drive and pay $ id take it more serious
jus a suggestion
Yeah fair. I’m assuming there’ll also be cool stores to check out aswell
nope i sold mine
they have like plushies and merch there
You sold ur brain?
i didnt really check it out wen i went to my 1 and only regional haha
yeah
Fair enough
my wallet
haha
How much did you get?
This girl does not know how to sell shit on the black market
thinkin abt lurantis tattoo is it too niche to get a tattoo of her lil like wings on her back
You are 0 for 2 girl
its a $70 card that i sold for $100
Go for full thing 
Oh I thought you made up a price for how much you sold your brain for 😭

That’s so much worse
its my brain so practically a steal
This is what I mean by 0 for 2
he’s have to pay you to take it
He better pay me
Exactly lol
Thank you Emma
im gonna go to bed
Gn
What are you gonna do with 18 arms
pet 18 bunnies
Based
at the same time btw
Well I figured as much
Gn bun
gn bean
Yo I’m ngl
I think incin sini Ursa is a pretty solid
Like as a core
Keeping the bear alive is pretty helpful
Pelipper tho
I have no clue what sort of pokemon tattoo i want
We can make something to handle pelipper
Like uh, Rotom 
I miss raging bolt
You don’t miss Bolt’s friends you got brainwashed
i never said i didn't miss urshifu
i miss urshifu plenty
i dont miss the stupid horse if thats what you're refering to
🐝
Hmm let's see no iron hand and raging bolt yeah i'm not sure
ttar?
meh
if ttar loses the weather war i think peli just wins
and peli can just wide guard rocks
Tbh i might miss urshifu too that thing def help hyper offense alot
sand breaks sash and threaten birb. forcing a swap most time or taking a KO
wide guard
not leading peli
knock off is all you really need to KO pelipper. and you can swap into Pelipper so you also dont need to lead ttar
With reg H power level i wonder will people more likely to use covert cloak pelliper again
252+ SpA Pelipper Weather Ball (100 BP Water) vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Assault Vest Tyranitar in Rain: 152-182 (73.4 - 87.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO but also
peli wins that battle
also AV Arch kills pelipper no? Electro Shot in rain would force a tera on birb or death
if it gets control
who is running eshot without peli
and infact arch can make ttar's life hard as well
i guess you just gotta brute force a peliper
probably
Isn't there some people who run red herb archludon
best non restricted hoenn mon ig
252+ SpA Pelipper Weather Ball (100 BP Rock) vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Assault Vest Tyranitar in Sand: 23-28 (11.1 - 13.5%) -- possible 8HKO
again man
ttar slower than pelipper
bruh
wins weather war
i give up
this conversation is so subjective and you're putting it on a t1 situation
so yk waht you win
👍
i will say peliper has a very annoying typing
its a good thing that its frail
moving on has anyone tried out rotom?
Water/Flying unironically good
yea
Rotom is alr
besides the electric weakness, which is manageable
Rotom seems fun. might experiment later with it
theres just, no electric types and thats the one i feel like would do best
that or killowatrel
oh electabuzz too
pawmot ig
anyway mostly looking for answers cuz my current team does not like facing pelipper at all
ig freeze dry guys are also something but
theres like, a9 lol
and lapras ig
rotom-wash
tera electric blast 
what can run tera electric
hisuian decidueye 
so true so true
resist the flying

wouldn't wild charge just obliterate a pelipper
yeah but recoil-
plus minus um-
4x water weakness for weather ball sash peli
sash
Rock Blast ig
kek
Don’t even need Loaded Dice
recoil of 99% of a pokémon’s health hurts like a bitch i’d like to point out 
especially on a harc
but rock slide usually does the job
if i can land any-
less than 100% accurate moves-
that is-
at least you dont have a 100% flinch chance
ehhh-
i’d rather flinch than miss and get fucked
fair
“oh there’s an incin on the field”
misses rock slide 3 times and loses because the incin carried
or meteor beams too
when otherwise that incin was fucking dead lol
that too
yall need to run more accurate moves
high risk high reward
im also a zacian player, i use play rough
although im convinced play rough is like
70 accuracy, i hit more bleakwinds then i do play rough
if it's not 100% it's 50%
my good sir-
i’ve missed 6 ceaseless edges in a row and that’s 90% accuracy
i’ve hit more hurricanes in the sun than i do any other move in my entire vgc career
and hurricane in the sun is a coin flip
people running h-decidueye but what about h-samurott
then continues to lose
h-samu is just mid when you have palafin and basculegion as your stand out water physical attackers

i remember trying sharpness samu for a bit it just felt kinda meh
oh boy spikes in vgc
the ceaseless hazards kinda
are funny
well i mean glimmora made a whole career out of setting toxic spikes
ok but thats poison
spikes is slight chip
poison is DoT
and works on stuff like dozo
still decent with aqua cutter and sacred sword

pfff yea ok its mid lol
i mean my dengo set is also just bulky af
most dengo are bulky tho
Gholdengo @ Metal Coat

it's faster than gholdengo
Y is there like no attack on the Samurott tho
Did they mean 144?
Steel/Ghost
Good as Gold
87/60/95/133/91/84
550
by 1 point lol
so if you wanna outspeed them all you have to invest a ton of evs into speed
Does gholdengo have coverage move to hit kingambit that's not focus blast ?
Nope
Its a shame Palafin fell of with Urshifu, but its coming back
Palifin is definitively top tier, but if youre not using Urshifu as your water type then youre at disadvantage
You simply cannot afford the negative tempo requirement of Palafin in Reg G
As the power level increased overtime and better options became available with better play against Palafin there is a reason it fell off beyond just being replaced by Urshifu
It can’t both be top tier and not used
i like palafin cause of its design
gameplay can go out the window :0
Water
Water Veil
70/45/40/45/40/75

Kinda does give the opponent a free hit at the palafin slot
Requires the set up
I think is good but it's not that "slapable" as people think imo
Btw Drago both tauros get wild charge for pelipper
All it needs is to switch once which is a downside but it has flip turn and you can switch into inci or rilla

i had no idea they had wild charge
One turn is enough and a cover can be detrimental. HP is still a resource even against resisted attacks especially against teams that can snowball.
Who's running flip turn on palafin lol
I suppose a choice band set idk
only band runs flip turn
The thing is why run choice band but ehhh it has the option
CB also succeptible to intim parting shot, if incin hasn't or doesn't explode
CB only works on Rain teams
I'm running clam, working decently so far
ClearAm is aight
A set more bulky with idk sitrus berry would be fine? Or should it always boost the offense?
CA opens up a very good T1 play for Palafin imo
clicking wave crash into incin?
P much
makes sense
If the target lost HP, the user takes recoil damage equal to 33% the HP lost by the target, rounded half up, but not less than 1 HP.

tera water wave crash can kill a decent chunk of incin i think
if they're not physically bulky
Most incins run sitrus
sitrus doesn't matter if ur dead
Lol yea
Idt I've seen tera grass incin yet
Could see it pop up
Grass Sitrus Incin or Grass Rocky is probably going to be your common sets
Ghost isn’t as valuable i think
That was for FO mirrors and for Zama
Yea
But there is, not many fighting types rn
Grass makes sense for Ursa and Palafin
Ghost not as valuable with hisuian decidueye picking up, I'd like to see usage stats for it
all i've ever seen it use is triple arrows and then maybe leaf blade
Triple arrows is a really good move
That is the only appeal of it imo, that and scrappy
And a desperation of fighting types
tbh i could see all three of the hisui starters being viable this reg
Scrappy isn't bad and it's coverage isn't terrible. But like I'm not really seeing the vision yet
I think people like it for Archa but like
You have to get through peli
Cuz peli nukes it
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.

Oh it’s just higher chance?

that's why you run razor claw or scope lens
ic
or dragon cheer (lol)
is 1/8 just the number for any move with higher crit chance?
That just makes it a 50/50

don't forget triple arrows has chance for crit and also chance to make target flinch or lower def
ik
triple arrow si a busted move but all HDeci has going
just casually lol
damn
Lol up in the ladder is either just 2-2-2 or Annihilape or WP Psyspam stuff
wild
Some things will never change
So atp it’s not even obscene or over the top teams?
Guess it’s really just down to piloting
This reg is either gonna be parting shot wars or dondozo stall wars
So grinding up the ladder is not worth it gtk
This is bo1?
i mean its just bo1 lol
Nah Gholdengo haze
If it's gonna be dondozo stall war i def will give my prim perish song
Liquid voice perish song paired with water absorb or dry skin sounds good tho
cool
i dont like playing dozo and psyspam sooo, bo3 it is
Ok time to snipe you on ladder w Psyspam
hisuian braviary or armarouge?
bro plz dont
i like having fun
i wanna try h-samurott
decent into dengo ig
incin too
good luck with stuff guys

i wanna finish arch though, and im thinking of having this set i just made on the team
the reason it has no speed investments is cause without the 252 HP and 4DEF sucker punch can OHKO from gambit
sb got an idea for a mon thats good in a rainteam but also gets accses to electric tarrain? (No legundarys)
rotom wash?

hydro pump?
https://pokepast.es/f3919a9724706480 also any thoughts on this team so far?
neat, psychic noise blocks revival blessing
all u need is an odd situation to know something new
yeah i randomly just tried using psychic noise on a pawmot
https://pokepast.es/fcca1e06492f4ced i think ive done well with myself here, I did have an idea of using dragapult for sweep and here it is, Arch + Peli is the regular plan, then at the back dragapult and maushold for cleaning up. Ursaluna and farig are for mu wheather MUs. Apart from snow, ground type moves seem to be good into em (torkoal + ttar). also i lost a battle to FO spam on archaludon so farig was a no brainer after such an incident lol. Any thoughts or improvements?
Wouldn’t, uh, annihilape, be better, than pult
does after you + trick room work?
almost no merit in that play besides really niche scenario but
curious
it does when only tr is setted
but idk
wdym, only to reverse tr?
idk I don’t knoe I havent played tr quite a bit
It does if you need to set or reset TR
like if they have a fast mon up threatening indeedee, can lilligant after you to get tr up before ko, and help slow mons in the back? would be interesting
Depending if you want to set quickly and bypass the -ve priority or deactivate it
idk how negative priority works
You go last
oh i mean in relation to after you
? It just skips the -ve priority like I said above
oh sorry, i didnt understand your message
okok thats what i thought ty
also ursa bm is surprisingly good on my team
significantly improves csr matchup
yes there is!! in a stacked tourney i used after u trick room to beat out imprison farig in speed :3
Imagine not using Snorlax

oooo yea i didnt think ab imprison
after u tr is useful when u know ur gonna fucking die
it maakes sense especially in open team sheet
i after u trick roomed and then indeedee ate a fucking wicked blow
lol
the team is surprisingly effective !!
its actually very good into both horses and pretty good into mirai
being able to spread hyper voice and expanding force is really threatening too
i really wish bolt got parabolic charge tho
it's necrozma dawn wings psyspam with ursa bm
OTOT where’s flash cannon
i am lazy but i can get paste
Why not physical?
u mean the other necrozma or the other ursa?
Ursa
oh
If I planned on running beat up, the yes, however as you can see with the dragapult set what I’m looking for is a mon that can deal great damage to BOTH opponent mons and dragon darts can even double on one if they protect or if they’re immune. Annihilape takes time to get going dragapult doesn’t. Which is the logic I’m following
i really like the spread damage and being immune to astral barrage while still being able to ohko with blood moon is very nice
The physical attacker aspect helps for special walls that Lunala can struggle to get through
(she doesn’t have pla)
Ah
in which ive offered her mine i used in orlando
i mean with 157 base special, theres not much that can wall it
But you have beat up
hello im a brick wall
Pla is a peak Pokémon experience you should play it
i will try regular ursa at some point (i was busy for trading today, sorry emma)
Oh yeah sorry about that, it’s supposed to be super fang
I think regular Ursa is awesome
im going back to sleep
you should get some sleep aswell
yep! nothing against it, i just wanted to try a team with bm because i got a perfect one
Dark types be like
yea
lol
It’s like their mascot
usually +1 moongeist isnt that bad
taking a guaranteed hit (?!)
Single strike is probably a better example lol
If you say so guys
there are def problem pokemon of course
I miss single strike 
Why’d they changed the comp helper emoji to lando t lol
lots of them
pao pao
more of them than with meta picks, thats why ndw is bad lol
Are there any good offensive dark types this reg
Kingambit
torkoal is p good into pao
I keep forgetting about hydreigon
big wall against ndw i mean
Unless you count AV incin
i bringing it to my local bc i know a lexibuzz player is showin up
especially if power herb is burnt
Lexibuzz?
alex underhill electabuzz team
Ah
Why the lexi part
idk thats what its been called
although, if tera fairy, it can take attacks well enough from most dark mons to get off a meteor beam, even if charged, and i always have mons like torkoal or h-lilligant too
You Tera fairy I click bblade 
ceruledge in reg g?
No, zacian
ohh behemoth
Behemoth blade, bblade
i thought u meant bitter blade
No lol
You’re fine
yeahh zacian is a hard matchup for sure
How to beat balance dengo?
Not, no
toarkoal and bm ursa help tho
Playing better
Torkoal sucks for Zac
They keep swapping, protecting, and controlling the game 
Defensively bulky fire type?
ohh i see
Then play better
Vs a steel type physical attacker?
How do I get better at piloting
And zacian doesn’t like tr which is what your team is
Lol
yeah
Aside from understanding what are the favourable board states that you want into your matchups, learning your lines and reviewing your fundamental piloting such as targeting, repositioning and leads is pretty key.
Playing to gain experience helps you prepare for the next time it pops up
This combined in how you expect your gameplan to interact with theirs all encompass how you're going to get better at piloting
Reviewing your replays, asking for a review, and getting the point as to why certain plays are recommended in certain positions rather than seeing it as an "If A then B"
So the most important part is when you first see their team?
Oh yeah I forgot about this
I got like no replays
Start getting some then
I literally say there's no point in spamming battles mindlessly lol
That’s not what I meant lol
Not you
Ah, uhm, sorry
Is that not how I get replays to review
Focus and actually think about the games you're playing...
So I should take my time
I end up mumbling whenever I concentrate hard :/
I’ll just take my time deciding moves
the thing that helps me the most (even though i suck) is taking my time on every turn and just knowing as much as i can about the movesets of common pokemon, and some important calcs
Fair enough
like, ivy cudgel ohko farigiraf is VERY good to know
Tera fire Ivy cudgel?
tera anything yea
Doesn't always, just as an FYI lol
Idk if Tera water ever ohkos from wellspring
depends on sets but if they have ANY SpA investment it does and its a good chance otherwise
arent they both neutral and same power and same modifiers?
Well if you Tera without getting Intim'd then sure
Hearthflame gets +1
true
oh right i forgot the other ones get diff boosts
but either way, it's good to know because you can either do that play when you see an opening, or ar least know that the enemy will be conscious of it, and be able to read the counter play
Btw tofu, you might not remember cause I’m stuck in the past, what did you think about they lunala + chi-yu team i made before
I didn't make a Lunala/Chi-Yu team
Lunala Feesh?
he made not you
Thank you for pointing out the edit that I was just about to reply to
woodtofu has given 1 Gen Rep to morrispxg456
lol
moment
does mold breaker/moongeist ignore shadow shield/multiscale?
