yo do yall think having a mon with follow me or rage powder is super necessary for every team
it would it be chill to not have it
not a lot, but im trying to get into it
Nice! Whatās your general PokĆ©mon knowledge at? Just so I know what to over explain and what not to.
i can play singles, i understand type match ups and what most moves do. the only think i lack is damage rolls/ win cons by looking at a team
Redirection is an insanely valuable tool but not required thereās a lot of teams without it
Doesnāt just protect your mons also messes up a lot of strategies that involve people targeting their own mons
Yeyeyeye?
chicken butt :3
ai bet
im tryina get back into competative i havent playes in a few years

You're asleep

New blogpost is up
Good read Tofu 
Link?
Lemme send

Nice blog
This Pokemon moves last among Pokemon using the same or greater priority moves.
Someone needs to explain how Archaludon lived +3 Tera Dark Sucker from Kingambit
+3 252+ Atk Tera-Dark Kingambit Sucker Punch vs. 252 HP / 12 Def Archaludon: 178-210 (90.3 - 106.5%) -- 37.5% chance to OHKO

i mean your explanation is right there

So bulky for this format lol
The Raging Bolt of Reg H
having a fucking fight vs blankets rn
For sure the Raging Bolt of Reg H that effectively donāt have a weakness next to peli
and itās gonna be everywhere yaaaaay
yeah imma play sempra 6
Run some sets w me later
I don't know when that is
4hrs
k
itd 5am atm lol
Whatās sempra 6?
It's basically another variant of rain
arch peli basc incin fungus kingambit
Yea that
I'm struggling with bo3
What seems to be the problem
@mighty stump how do you get like tts on websites i wanna listen to ur blog post while i try and go back to bed
I have no clue
LOL
You could probably google a TTS service
Or just copypaste the text
volcarona's proving to be really annoying
primarina is annoying for my team
does clefable do the t-wave follow me stuff
illegal next month, bad in this format
Fairy
Cute Charm, Magic Guard, Unaware (Hidden)
95/70/73/95/90/60
483
uh
is clefable usually unaware?
This Pokemon can only be damaged by direct attacks. Curse and Substitute on use, Belly Drum, Pain Split, Struggle recoil, and confusion damage are considered direct damage.
is it good against dozo?
so more follow me goggles
its just redirection
volc with giga drain and heat wave just fries my team next to it
if you play Reg G,Where is your restricted
i won my next set, still trying to figure out how to handle that volc mu
Team?
im in 1200's in bo3 now which is nice, so far
ive gone 8-3 over the past couple days
Just change Gholdengo's Tera and utilised Super Fang better
to dragon?
I just use Water
i'll probably fidget with both
well no
water it is
i found a perish trap dengo team with krow that was interesting
so far i've pretty much only lost to like, the volc stuff and i think i played really poorly into a psyspam mu i didn't record
anyway BTD6 break
i keep losing in bo3 fuck
You donāt have to run a restricted right?
Technically, for Reg G, you don't. You'll just be at a disadvantage though.
What would you replace?
Well, to start, I'm not really understanding the team concept. I don't think it's a good idea to put splashable balance Pokemon without necessarily knowing what their intended uses are.
Figuring it's a Sun team, Koraidon is an easy slot and personally I believe Raging Bolt is absolutely required on a Sun team, therefore Torkoal should just be replaced. Some of these movesets are also a bit awkward, such as Giga Drain Amoonguss, and non-Wood Hammer Rillaboom.
Overall I do think you should probably peruse some common teams in Reg G and see which ones you like.
LabMaus is a good way to find top teams
i'm really struggling
Is it the team or is it you?
idk anymore
Maybe take a break and reflect
i don't know how to improve
Send replays lol
What are some ways to counter trick room. I understand the imprison method, but not really got any others, other than trying to stall
quite often get faked out when trying to do that, and dont want to waste the tera
You can also use mons that underspeed opposing TR mons.
Why wouldn't you want to use Tera to lock the game in your favour? bit odd
Oh, have a slow dude like gambit or something to play in trick room
always feel like it'll be more useful later. But no, ur right. Tera to avoid fake out is just good
Need to identify impactful turns better
is hisuian decidueye actually good? because it seems like it is
People seem to like it, I don't lol
i think its mid
Hawaii flight time 
have a safe flight
good luck Dillon
Same flights! Good luck!
on what pokemon?
well
thats not a good strategy for competitive
shedinja isnt in SV
so its not legal
It has some really niche uses, but is pretty situational and judgement based
So it's not very recommended
We have some resources in the pins
That you could peruse
We also have some teams with write-ups in #rental_teams
Just to give you an idea of how teams should function/work
.tw1st3d_m1ndz. has given 1 Gen Rep to woodtofu
hello
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2024regh-2179253043 felt a bit lucky here, any turns where i couldve improved my plays?
Watch a replay of a PokƩmon battle between trecal and Totorules! Format: [Gen 9] VGC 2024 Reg H; Date: Aug 13, 2024
where do i go to view the replays ive uploaded?
You go to replays and search your username
just did it thanks
i mean i didnt wanna risk the CC or have peli gone before it can get a tw safely
Protect???
Are you Covert Cloak...?
What do you mean you forgot
i tend to forget which mons help which MUs and end up not selecting them
I'm just watching the replay and don't really know how to put into words what's going on
any turns that seem especially off?
Like
Think about it, right
IF they click Fake Out + Wood Hammer
Archaludon is just free to move and potentially delete Sneasler
Sneasler also is like no problem for Basculegion
Plus
I was also trying to cover for CC
You should be most likely faster than Rillaboom, so like
YOu can click Hurricane for free
Genuinely, I don't think Archaludon should be dying to CC in this scenario and you can always just Tera + Friend Guard lol
and switch Maushold in
IF you're doing that while running AV you really should reconsider your approach.
You are absolutely wrong in that regard
+2 52+ SpA Life Orb Gholdengo Shadow Ball vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Assault Vest Archaludon: 161-191 (97.5 - 115.7%) -- 87.5% chance to OHKO

Archaludon @ Life Orb
Ability: Stalwart

Tera Type: Ghost
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Body Slam
- Draco Meteor
- Snarl
- Protect
Why is a resist 2HKOing you
- You're using a bulk item without any investment for a low SpDef mon
- Never did any calcs
You're essentially half-assing Archaludon's job. Pick either an offensive item to tempo faster, or more bulk so you can more consistently snowball and maintain momentum
i forgot what snowball means
Improper EVs is game losing sometimes lol
I've won a game cause someone poorly EV'd their AV Iron Hands and it died to a neutral Psychic from CSR
oh wow
And I know I've stressed this concept to you already while explaining EV investing
Still on max speed Archa ic
yeah just changing AV
and probabaly ability
https://pokepast.es/354581e6492d5192 this is the team now
https://www.smogon.com/dp/articles/ev_distribution#correct_hp You probably should read this.
A guide to efficient EV distribution, courtesy of umbarsc
im not a begginer with evs š
Skip to the point of Distributing EVs Defensively
I'd prefer if you say you were rather than the alternative of pro-actively doing the not-so-great thing
moment
i just got the set from munchstats regG. Shouldve mentioned it wasnt fit for reg H but i liked it anyways
That's like saying "I know stealing is wrong but they didn't catch me anyways so it's fine"
?
lol
Like, if you know it's not the best thing, why are you doing it
Is it because you didn't know? or were you being lazy? or like
cause it worked
im scared of changing things cause thats normally how i mess up
Change is difficult and altering habits is difficult but understanding why you're doing cushions the blow and learning to do things in a better fashion is overall going to provide more long term value
time to read that smogon article because i feel like my mons could use some defensive evs
Plus you can always ask, I do not care if I have to repeat something again but I care if it feels like it's cause you actively ignore it
Cuase that's when I get pissy
And felt like my time was wasted
sorry if it feels that way sometimes, but i do read and sometimes take ss
You can play however you want dude cause at the end of the day it's not my game but like damn the one thing I don't wanna hear is "but it works" without any real reasoning behind it
I'm not even saying Max Spe Archa is wrong
I'm saying AV Max Spe no bulk Archa is wrong
i realise that now
I gave you set for offensive Archa yesterday too š
Result: 187.500000
Is Tauros the only good immediate offensive water type?
Iām looking at stuff to help volc with fire types, and i donāt like palafin
Does anyone know how to deal with gothitelle ? It makes me cannot switch out palafin
Ttar with volcarona?
climbing back up
Iām gonna take it offensive water types donāt exist then, besides that
ludicolo lorb
That are good
really damn hurts in rain
i'm gonna need to re-read this smogon article in the morning
And donāt require rain
Mm maybe i wonāt use volc
Didnāt think about Rain
And itās, dominance in the meta
Flip Turn kek
Or don't run Fin into Gothi teams
What's the best mon to deal the gothi then ?
dark type?
Gholdengo
Can't trap it
Can;t hit it
Free setup fodder
Maushold - Annihilape is also good into Perish Trap stuff
Esp if you run Feint
Ah right yeah dhengo probably the best thing i could use then and it immune to fake out and perish song
is meow any good?
I mean I've seen it around
It's not bad
It can OHKO Deedee with U-Turn so that's nice
Looking at some first-line tier lists are pretty ok just to see a surface opinion of what options you can consider
Iām looking at limitless tournaments for stuff as well
although everything thatās winning is rain, which makes sense
THATS WHY CLEFABLE VOLC IS A THING
Oh yeah and what best defensive tera for annihilape ? I tried fire and it doesn't work really well should i just go for steel
I prefer Steel.
Alright then
You can also check out LabMaus
volcarona is also good into dengo
Volca not good into rain
P2 Ursa looks, fine
well yeah its a fire type
i've seen overheat chandeluere with sunny day murkrow for arch
Ah, yes the Sonic Smasher, the meal of choice for any VGC player
i really wanna try out talon flame + hydreigon
lol
I forgot basc has adaptability
bro Damian cooked
Bruh
This Pokemon's moves that match one of its types have a same-type attack bonus (STAB) of 2 instead of 1.5.
maybe Iāll explore that
free tera boost?
As an offensive Mon, that doesnāt need set up
he dont want rain
and doesnāt need rain
You get more value from just running CB in Rain since its a 1.5x boost over 1.3x
Rains not fun to play lol
Right
im having a great time
Thx Archaludon
I donāt, yk what I mess with lol
but ima end the rain play for now. I feel like i understand it enough
This is the first time in a while I've complained about something
Lmao
But whatever
why do u need a water type
Well I donāt OTOT Iām just looking at stuff
Iām currently looking at a blank board

Meh
yeah stats not impressive
Iāll keep that in mind once I find something to mess with
Iāve stated I hate the way palafin plays
I'm ok with Palafin but I think Palafin is going to struggle a bit except on very specific teams + sets
As per usual, Rain
Lol
gastro isnt offensive but as someone who runs rain its damn annoying to deal with
Gastro is alright.
Gastro with Tera Steel works pretty well against Rain
Just gotta be wary of Body Press
Oh huh, yea thatās interesting
i might try it in my team ima make
So something like Gholdengo + Gastro can be a decent option into that combination
I wish snow was better but with rain so dominant snow is hard to get going
Plus 1 flash cannon and ninetales is dead
https://pokepast.es/c8b408e2be62c613 the concept is to have hydreigon set up as clefairy dies, then swap in th ebig bad talon flame to get tw up or sunny day, in which hydreigon has the option to tera fire heat wave
or maybe sunny day isnt needed
can you put moves on them
I don't like Tera-Fire Heat Wave but I understand why lol
okie dokie
Imo EP + Tera Poison
so no double STAB?
i'm wondering if maybe i should swap farig for a tw setter
whats the team
is Blastoise with Fake Out / Water Spout a good idea for reg H ?
especially against the AV archaludons out and about
really I've seen it three times so far on showdown lol
and peli
damage looked very high if you ask me
Three times isn't a lot
i just got back to playing today, I got like 15 games or so
Well, suit yourself, whatever you like lol. If you wanna try it no one is stopping you
Cause people are Kyogre-pilled and like Blastoise
https://pokepast.es/132d81b5f46bbfd7 got no clue for evs here, but i added tera typings and items
Bug, Dark, Electric, Fairy, Fighting, Fire, Ice, Normal, Poison, Steel, Stellar
Dragon, Flying, Ghost, Grass, Ground, Psychic, Rock, Water
I'll ask another disc too, maybe they know
what elo?
Fighting, Normal
Bug, Fire, Ice, Poison, Steel, Water
Dragon, Fairy, Flying, Ground, Psychic, Rock, Stellar
Dark, Electric, Ghost, Grass
Ghost-types are immune to effects that prevent Switching.
interesting
been using teams someone else made
i really need to make one but I suck at teambuilding
I'm much better at playing the game lol
im no genius when it comes to teambuilding either, if you need help on it though theres loads of people here who can give advice
i don't know where to start from
reg G I could just use whatever good team was around, but reg H i feel like you can be really creative since the power lvl decreased
any thoughts on a mon that meow can offensively support well?
ok
but ive seen the anger point crookidile gimmick
meow is underrated i feel

uhm
forgot about screen stuff ugh
you click nplot they click blizzard ._.
i need an answer to snow i get it
and you're looking at the worse of the setters
A free dozo option too
yeah whats the dragon pulse calc on alolan ninetales after a nasty plot boost

yeah not the best
so what im underdstanding here is focus energy scope lens has more consistency and that my MU into grimsnarl + alolan ninetails sucks
https://pokepast.es/7764b242be7b2f1d here ya go the worst thing i've ever played
why are you worrying about ninetales and grimmsnarl again?
cause i cant hit them with hydreigon lol
The garg milotic team I cooked up ended up being mid so now I'm running Water Tauros Volc and Rilla core
shouldn't the worry be focused around mausape and archaludon
they're not that relevant
so then i should lose everygame i go against them?
theyre something i should definitely account for
hm
grimmsnarl and a9
O
im surprised primarina isnt on that list OTOT
Yeah ghold
the type of game i wanna play is the one thing
forgot. fairy types suck in general for it
mhmm
I mean if you have a grass type you're good
https://pokepast.es/afd5ef33e77c0c80 in the process of looking for replacements for prima
thoughts on smth to add?
this right here is the kind of game i wanna try out
to replace prim?

You could go Clef for Maus and use a competitive water type or smth
its my only reason lol

dengo talon/krow maushold probably
yeah dengo definitely a better sweeper here
I was talking about Dray's team
oh ok
what do i need a competitive water type for
incin's dealt with with tauros
Or js a water type
and maus is better than clef
but unaware clefable 
I just like unaware redirection
OH YOU MEANT THAT

what are some spread moves that dengo dont like apart from snarl i already know that
uh
Ideas of a 4th move for Entei? https://pokepast.es/3b7841e59e71c5f3
heat wave is kinda it i believe
heat wave, earthquake
who's running eq
dozo
fair
Rilla makes it not worth but ghold still not trying to take that dmg
uhhh
dazzling gleam from random fairy types if you tera dragon dengo
i think ima straight up just run balance gholdengo team
Hisuian Decidueye 

this is the concept so far, i will need something for those spread moves and rilla isnt set in stone
gastrodon?
yeah i wanna try it out
why?
It's really solid
rain
its mid
also i think it has some potential
it has a borken move and scrappy
Gastro walls arch and Peli
it in fact does not
not even BP, draco gonna hurt
hurricane
it walls archapeli on paper
Scope lens with Leaf Blade and Triple Arrows are critting constantly
you need av on that thing or itās dead instantly
Sorry I meant with fairy tera on gastro it helps in the mu
imo its on fraud watch until it wins something
leaf blade constantly getting# crit?
shouldnt it be inconsistent
Has a higher chance for a critical hit.
Grass

itās too fast for trick room and too slow for tailwind
Yeah it has a high cr
oh wow
idk man, i hardly see the appeal besides oo, dengo answer, which can be solves elsewhere
Give it solid redirection or fo and it's doing dmh
scope lens ogerpon 
and archa answer
ehhh
itās appeal is the move
if it hasn't exploded
thatās about it

since thats what prima helped with
you have a dark type right there
and rilla
rilla dengo?
well thats what prima was doing, NO
itād be iffy but wide guard gallade?

yeah galade doesnt look that good for the team on paper i feel like
trick room huhā¦
araquanid?
sash whimsicott with trick room 
why dont you try rushing tr
what?
cause a simple follow me trick room can ruin the team
i dont have the offense for that
sigh the problem is torkoal not trick room
oh yeah liligant
lilikoal yeah
Hai Nova
only option is really peli so im just gonna keep primarina
this is where walking wake would be good-
if it wasnāt banned
tbh im not sure whats good into lilikoal except resist and weather
fuck off

it could work-

252hp 156+ spa, 100 speed throat spray
btw what went wrong with prim
suit yourself-
thatās a sun weakened water move on torkoal anyways
it still hurts
doesnt peli just help lmao
u can change weather and have wide guard, heck mayb even tw
a lot less than earth power from the bear i would think
i already said that and stated im not running peli cuz peli is such a boring thing to use
and it hurts tauros
cause unlike pixilate

liquid voice doesnāt give the extra 1.2 buff

Kid Named Clefairy:
https://pokepast.es/d3a9bee4227b5d3b just need thoughts on these 2 (teras not done yet)
dont forget abour lilgant though. they can protect tutrle and deal with prim
someone suggested getting rid of tauros for ape
You know I might try my reg a team again except with indeedee in place of spiritomb and use rabsca again
im just suprised People trying H-Deci just because of that one matchup
suit yourself
+1 156+ SpA Ursaluna-Bloodmoon Earth Power vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Torkoal: 320-380 (180.7 - 214.6%) -- guaranteed OHKO
and i hate that archetype so hell nah
btw
why are u running tauros anyways
156+ SpA Ursaluna-Bloodmoon Earth Power vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Torkoal: 216-254 (122 - 143.5%) -- guaranteed OHKO
this is considering it hasn't gotten set up under tr
doesnāt even need throat spray
thats just Overkill in normal Standards
cuz unlike primarina bloodmoon gets nuked
yeah-
thatās why weāre running 100 speed 
im keeping prima
suit yourself-
prim needs two hits-
ursaluna only needs one without the hyper voice boost as well
is there any Special Attacking Water types that is Not Milotic ot Prima
greninja 
I'm so lost what even is going on LOL
donāt remind me of making that Team
i havenāt done anything on it lol
Empoleon
im doubting my team, tried to replace prima, but prima is doing what it needs to
looking for a 6th on dragoās team
heās looking for an answer to torkoal and uhhh
primarina vs blood moon
Loving it
bloodmoon isnt a torkoal answer lol
though i will say-
prim is still prolly better for the fairy coverage anyways
if tr goes up
then dont let them tr. Maus has taunt no?
I don't want to run psyspam but I ran it in reg a so idk
dunno-
you said youāre looking for an answer to torkoal but under trick room donāt think much can be an answer cause of 22 speed
Clodsire kek
iron ball amoongus i guess 
i dont feel like you're seeing what im seeing
maybe running liligant torkoal will make u have insight on what gets in the way
prim get 2 tapped anyways
you wanna test that?
Clodsire has the same speed as torkoal

so youāve been running into the not specs variant of torkoal i see
that thing explodes almost everything
Isn't torkoal usually charcoal
252+ SpA Charcoal Torkoal Eruption (150 BP) vs. 172 HP / 36 SpD Primarina in Sun: 60-72 (33.8 - 40.6%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
252+ SpA Choice Specs Tera-Fire Torkoal Eruption (150 BP) vs. +1 172 HP / 36 SpD Primarina in Sun: 68-81 (38.4 - 45.7%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
i stand corrected
you we're saying?
I mean
compared to
252+ SpA Choice Specs Tera-Fire Torkoal Eruption (150 BP) vs. 244 HP / 12 SpD Ursaluna-Bloodmoon in Sun: 328-386 (149.7 - 176.2%) -- guaranteed OHKO
btw what does prim do against liligant torkoal
Then they switch to heat wave
ehhhh
idk about that
which does signifigantly less
if they do get rid of your maus 
already weakened
yeah thatās not gonna do anything sorry
liligant is normally sashed right?
yea if i bring it to sash i just click like, grassy glide
ooo-
youād have to tera in the face of a rilla though-
ehhh
still i think prim is better cause fairy coverage
blood moon was just a random thought i had
im gonna try mystic water tho
uhhhh
it needs a boost in damage
normally deedee armourouge in the back

though i havent used prim, im just speculating outcomes so dont take my word for it
this is fun isnt it tofu
throat spray is generally better isnāt it?
i know someone who was messing with choice specs prim 
p much
its calm mind
torkoal is slow
Hydrapple
is faster than torkoal
slowest last evo no? (or base)

https://pokepast.es/dbe07bda2e4c0465 @mighty stump do you think anything needs changes or is this fine?
gonna try mystic for extra damage
anyone wann bo3
was stated that tauros could be replaced for ape but i dont feel like doing that
Rabsca is also slower than both ursas in tr
Just Life Orb at that point
no
do people even run specs dengo anymore?
or has metal coat been normalized
Some yeah
i like metal coat
Im like looking at this team

i mean i guess it does depend on what you need from dengo
I thought it was trick specs
And i'm a bit confused
about?
The lack of speed control is also concerning imo
Cause I dont know if you have enough bulk
Well
More in the case of
I don't know if youll be able to capitalise off of your boosts
Especially with something like Murkrow going for Hazes
does haze affect dengo
i mean, i just cant boost infront of murkrow
Yes
i think so yes
Youll probabyl lean on Tauros/Hydreigon for Gholdengo stuff
Resets the stat stages of all active Pokemon to 0.
Ice
Status
0
ā
30 (48)
ā
Bypasses Protect-like moves.
Bypasses substitute.
Does not make contact.
No clue what you do against Dozo
Haze affects Dengo
thats what i've been doing
maus, encore
This Pokemon is immune to Status moves.
You're not fast enough
super fang
Lol
Murkrow Dengo was a duo in Reg A and will be for Reg H solely cuz you could Make It Rain Haze spam
is this an older, fuck
And for TR
i readjusted to fast max hp maus
Also anything that wants to reset stat boosts
ig i only put that on my phone
so does the team need to be reworked then? cuz it sounds like it has a lot of issues
oh
haze make it rain
ya
kinda wanted to forget that
Fuck it I'm gonna try indeedee rabsca
I mean for TR you probably just have to go for setup on Prim and try to control terrain with Rilla
That's about it
thats what i've been doing yea
You can also try Snarl Hydreigon or something
hoo boi
wouldn't i want AV then?
good luck
Depends on how you feel lol
so do i need more bulk for the team? idk where to slot any speed control
unless i go tw on hydrei

you get thunder wave
what speed to dengos have these days, i might just go for outspeed peli
timid dengo?
idk which i get more value out of, timid is 100evs and modest is 196
timid hits 185 at 252 whilst modest hits 205
im running NP so timid looks fine
anddd showdown corrected me back to modest
mm, idk what to do tbh
if i need speed control i have to sacrifice earth power for hydrei or, ig protect or encore on maus
if i go bulkier on my sets i lose out on immediate damage

idk if I can play 9 rounds of rain mirror at a regional
does sash maus need bulk
I'm still max hp max spe
even with sash
Just cause you plan on taking hits the general bulk can help.
Plus there isn't anywhere else the EVs can go and no multi-hit mons
Technically sure you can max out attack if you want to like
boost Feint or something lol
maus gets feint?
Maushold @ Focus Sash

is it really the best way to Build Gren is to Just Water Shuriken with Archaludon
https://pokepast.es/a932063cc8a0325f does this look ok?
yeah its fine for a Balance team
Well that was an easy team to make
ok
I might try it out now
What, Indeedee Rabsca?
I've got indeedee, rabsca, ursaluna, torkoal, kingambit and gallade, the only question is should I go sneasler for a fast mode
@mighty stump can you watch my set I think I had like 5 missed win opportunities
uh sure
game 1 I lost to time bc I was floundering around too much so not super important
game 2/3 were a little scrappy but I made a good call to seal game 3
im tryna check limitless tour teams but it keeps taking me to 2023 tournaments
Hi use LabMaus
these ones @mighty stump
thank you
otot8953 has given 1 Gen Rep to woodtofu
i feel like
hmm sharp beak tera ghost
If you want a set for that I have one
yes please
bwahacough has been waiting so long for tyranitar lyncancrock to be viable again
he still does it every single reg tho
respect
Fr
Give me a moment I have one pair of eyes
@chrome knot G2 was fine imo
It was just a lot of back and forth and imo you could have done some better covers and when Rain was up, just spam Electro Shot until Amoonguss came in to just blow it up with Draco
But perfect timing
I watch a 2 minutes of a video and immediately get ads
And I got ads, 2 minutes ago
@chrome knot You lost Incin way too fast lmao
Yt ads are so bad lol
i really like that Nike one though
it was my only option that turn '
I guess
I mean idc what the ad is
I had to setup for the later game
Itās still an ad, and Iām not interested
Is it true that chinese players are playing Caly Shadow + Galarian Weezing
Are they clear amulet Fin or what
Cause imo Pollen Puff + Archa Switch would have been fine
listen to the Nike "am i a bad person" add lmao. So good it had me looking up the advert
You're late to that lol
mystic water but yes I see that now
Uhm, for G3, and do note it's like midnight and my brain is mush but yeah
I just didnt want to take 70%(20% after pollen) from a wave crash
I think that would have been a better play + you could always just re-enter with Incin after since Pala is forced to go byebye
True
But everytime Palafin Wave Crash recoil damage ticks upwards
and sooner or later you can punish that
But well played though
What's your Arch EVs?
Archaludon (F) @ Assault Vest

yeah except now im in an awful spot regardless of how u look at it
uncomfy for arch to take that amount of damage with no trade
252+ Atk Mystic Water Palafin-Hero Wave Crash vs. 252 HP / 4 Def Archaludon in Rain: 93-111 (47.2 - 56.3%) -- 83.2% chance to 2HKO
4 Atk Incineroar Knock Off (97.5 BP) vs. +1 252 HP / 4 Def Archaludon: 33-40 (16.7 - 20.3%) -- possible 5HKO
Yeah but side Pollen Puff
Cause you were switching next to Amoong
You were Taunted, not like you could click anything else
