just run life orb
I should also go sleep though 
maybe i’ll call it a night as well-
Gn comp chat you guys better not-
do all the stupid stuff-
leave some for me too 
gnight nova sleep well hun
gn people who are sleeping
you're already going max attack adamant you kinda have to put the rest into speed
mhm
choice specs tera fairy harc will be my next experiment

man i wanted to just half asleep cruise around in a cool car in forza.
why the fuck almost 10 gb update
you're not bulky so just go LORB
sorry its closer to 7.5 i thought it was higher
so then what item on talon?
i like the fire coverage, i think ill stick to cloak and tera flying if i wanna deal big brave bird damage
sure
could i run both maus and moongus on the same team
why
i like the idea of moongus for dondozo
maus can also help with dozo
how
tera dragon?
grass makes more sense doesnt it
you want to keep the prima insta kill button online when you tera?
probably not
your dozo line is nonexistent
what are those evs on maushold for
what is that gholdengo set?

@timber falcon i need some answers bro
what do you need max speed for
you have a very weird tendency to want max speed on stuff for no apparent reason
ngl i dont know either
just run a bulky set lol
probably for the best
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2024regh-2179803035 quick 4-0 though, they had 0 answers for FO lol

wasnt really bothered about calcs but i knew i wanted to have some spdef investment this reg
dont be lazy
with tera steel and 1 NP i 2HKO archaludon?
yea
you dont 2hko archaludon with shadow ball?
if you cant 2HKO with Shadow Ball then something is wrong
so why are you clicking make it rain?
thats why i keep wide guard on my Peli lol
in most cases id just shadow ball ig, no real reason for MIR in such situations
WHY DOES AUTO CORRECT ALWAYS DOES THAT
in this reg what do i even calc dengo for bulk wise?
sucker punch form gambit
fair enough
252 lives the sucker punch
see if you can save evs
lives the dragon pulse too
oh yeah
2HKO

12 on spatck?
oh its lorb
I have LO and NPlot lol
you're nasty plot and its probably for speed lol
Speed creeps max spe Peli
up to 1495 on bo1 ladder now
dont need a ton of spA on NP dengo
bo1 is far easier than bo3
i was looking to survive that heat wave boost
prob doesn't help the quality of the teams and players is lower
but okay
whatever floats your boat
yeah bo3 is tough
now i gotta swap tauros item and i kinda wanna slap sash on it
sash is fine
i think clear amulet and mystic water are also options
mirror herb too
herb?
punish intimidator leads
oh i saw a moxie vid of that
wouldnt it be +1
no
When an opposing Pokemon raises a stat stage, the holder copies it. Single use.
if you're -1 the attack is raised by 2
as a defiant user
making it +1
tauros isnt at -1
get the picture now?
i get it
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2024regh-2179810426 a succesful game, i decided to go rilla over tauros cause i saw 3 water types and thought "id love to OHKO those"

didnt get to use it though
also im not so sure about tera water dengo
makes me hate rilla and electro shot
I'm sadge that feraligatr will never be good
Just judge your tera call and if its actually necessary to Tera
Tera Dragon is also fine as a choice

can hydreigon be faked out on psychic terrain?
yes
is scorching sands zard any good lol
I thought pyschic terrain blocked all priority moves
not on flying mons or levitate mons
Only Flying and Levitate mons are in normal state
which is why Expanding Force on Lake Trio is Bullshit and useless
give the lake trio an iron ball then they can use e-force
I need to pet a dog
I find it that all it took for Zamazenta to be decent was for him to get Body Press lol
Well now that Chi-Yu isn’t in the picture
yeah zard might be good on a sun team
honestly why not
Surely If guy got body press in gen 8 zacian would have been cooked
😔
Rain cough
yeah but sunny day whims or murkrow
True, true
F in the chat for poor Gen 8 Zamazenta
Rillaboom Looks fine
Kommo-o does not need Flamethrower For IDBP,Run Iron Head
Arcanine can run Extreme Speed Over Rock Slide Since You already have Head Smash
Primarina looks weird, for Max Max Min With Haze,Its rather but tacky,you can run Calm Mind and Mystic Water or have a Tera Blast if you want to Keep Throat Spray
Zoroark Looks Fine although Tera Ghost Blast is not good here,Run Tera Fighting would be Better that Ghost for that specfic Reason
Incin is ok,But Sassy Nature? Isnt that Lowers the speed?
Also outsidr of Rillaboom,All of them need Some EV Spread Changes
well Not Zoroark and Debatably Arcanine but still
??? Why tho
ok that was stupid
Well I appreciate the thought process
Well what should their EV Spreads be?
idk if a non sunny day overheat would even KO arch
It’s rediculous what an assault vest will do
+SpDef nature Archa >>>
weezing would shut off stamina too
Who cares about Stamina just yeet
try look at munc stats
munc?
munchstats
genuinely considering trying toedscruel and weezing lol
Oh ok
I’m concern on your Mental Health
at the very least it'd be funny
Should I just look at what was run in Reg G since Reg H doesn't have much
For These Few mons you have you can see Reg H ones
Kommo-o could see the EVs for IDBP in reg G
It only shows Base Stats, Teammates, Moves, and Tera Types nothing on EV's or Natures
See what was run in Regulations A-C
Also called Series 1/2
gm tofu
oooooo
Hmmm neat, neutralising gas can shut off good as gold
Yep
Would be funny to spore gholdengo ngl
I can't find those regulations on Munchstats
I mean you already can do that without neutralizing gas you know mycelium might

Hey Tofu
What's up
Was wanting to say hi but I also got 2 things (3 but I forgot one)
- Kommo-O didn't work out that well, not even due to Haze though
- You got MausApe spreads?
My MausApe is super simple lol
Lol
If jewelry Bonney was a pokemon she would be a snorlax
i think mega lopunny should make a return

what do you want.
I loved mega lopunny
I can’t wait for Gen 10 return of the megas
yus
tbh i liked z moves bc of the dances so i hope we see a ver of that in the future
All I beg is for AZ floette and then they can ruin it however way them want
I think the concept behind z moves are only cool
If every z move is unique
I like when they make status moves into z moves
That’s my favorite
i feel like morpeko would be more fitting 
Actually maybe your right
The manga (((:
pog
I play one piece treasure cruise im waiting for new Bonney to be a character I can gamble for on a mobile game
yea i feel like ||since she can transform into quite a few 'futures' and hunger switch makes it more morpeko esque||
Yeah I see what u mean by that now
oh cool haha yea i feel like one piece has so many games for it at this point
i heard some of them are really good
@modern harbor gm bun mm i bought cutesie tinkaton shirt and i wanna wear it with skirt bc i think itd look cute BUT idk if raw dogging shirt & skirt is good looking thoughts?

Shirt and skirt should be okay you could do like a cardigan or leather jacket depending on how the skirt looks if you want
lemme get pic of skirt since i wore it in orlando

I know exactly what you should wear with the shirt
Do you have one of those like
A maxi skirt
this
But the flowy kind
I think a long flowy maxi skirt with the polo tucked in would go hard
Summer vibes
Love how you’re basically doing a shirt and skirt combo in this photo asking if you need anything else 😭
its a sweaterrrr
I’d say a cardigan
Cus you can keep it unbuttoned to keep shirt visible
And cardigans can be cute
I’m assuming the tinka is white like the skirt with a graphic
So just any pastel color should be fine
But also be damn careful today wearing double white 😭
thats a photo from a while ago iirc
or im just making up random ass memories
Uh yeah?
I’m assuming the tinka shirt is white
And that sweater isn’t white girl what 😭
this from april
and its a pink sweater & skirt :3
I know?
this the tinkaton shirt i ordered
Ohh very much not white okay
That can go so nicely with like a red
I think if you go too pastel it can be a bit tacky
Plus polos have the ability to give a boxier silhouette
LOL
@chrome knot counter-rain player quit cause of my rain variant
DIdn't evne finish the set
LOL
+1 Volc exploded
Bomb Pops, a frozen treat so good, it'll blow you away
@spiral ridge what abt like a pastel multicolour crocheted one i can button up but leave the tinkaton opensies
i have no idea that was just the first idea ive had in awhile
where would i even find that
that sounds awfully specific
OH YOURE NOT LOOKING THROUGH YOUR CLOSET
NO
ohhhhhh I thought this was for todayyyy
MY PARENTS ARE TRANSPHOBIC WHAT CLOSET!!!
scotty my tink shirt arrives in like a MONTH
I’m a little slow
a little
Hmm
I mean I can help look for cute cardigans in a little gimme a sec I can help search
Surely we can find multiple options within a month
yah

i also think i should buy the meowscarada cardigan eventually
Ooo? That sounds cute af
$200 but…
That is a lot
u should wear leg warmers and something besides regular sneakers :) make sure u got jewelry too, earrings n necklace
and definitely makeup
also carry a bag
Went way more in depth than me lmao 😭
a match replay
Yeah don’t click that lol
ima delete it
o im on iphone not too worried
If you want a team opinion just post the paste, and for replays, just send the link and not the downloaded file
@dark juniper #rental_teams is not for questions/discussion
no its cetitan
oaahh okay thanks mom
setsumizi has given 1 Gen Rep to cattcameo

Hey I used to play back in sword and shield and had this "rented" competitive team but I don't know how to find it again
It had Zapdos, Registeel, Landorus (the 2nd form, torkoal, and two others. Any clues on how to find it?
i dunno
my head is pretty cool

yay!

Just sell one of your socks on there, you'd probably get big bucks 
my yosta senses stopped tingling a long time ago
would you just be tingling constantly?
Idk maybe
im always around
My dumbass senses are tingling now Scotty, but that one is always haywire
Oh it kinda is 
WHAT
yeah
I mean you're talking about that site so
well yeah
You really think someone wouldn't

Lmao
"So there was this one time"
"one"
already lying to yourself pal
Lol

cute clothes are hard to find
@spiral ridge should i teensy mark hunt some of my reg h team

pokemon
Faer had some weird taste
some werent that bad
feet are cool tho
some werent bad
lmfao

what
you into feet or smth
i think soft girly feet are pretty cool like if some girl kicked me in the head i think id apologize for being in the way
don’t react with thaaaaaattttt😭😭😭 @spiral ridge

youre talking about being kicked in the head girl 😭
And you're giving me shit
lol
was just an exampleeeeee
an example of how youd react 😭
wha-
arch rain and psyspam team
These comps are so annoying
Maus is so good into them thooooo
what happens when you get body pressed
who said you're getting body pressed
me clicking uturn into hydreigon and it takes 40%

Tera Dark Amogus against Psyspam:
Its fun but super Situational
pult u turn is the best u turn
yes :3
Grass/Dark
Overgrow, Protean (Hidden)
76/110/70/81/70/123
530
stop obsessing U-turn lmao
its so annoying lol
Dragon/Ghost
Clear Body, Infiltrator, Cursed Body (Hidden)
88/120/75/100/75/142
600
i think banded meow does more simply due to it becoming stab with protean
then yeah get sob reacted
not cooolllll
:3
Is hydreigon a scarlet exclusive?
yea
ye
fuck
i mean i'm playing Violet so i can't help
Man, that’s annoying
Damn game and your stupid 2 exclusives
u can union circle, have some1 else hunt it for u or just trade for a hydreigon and masuda it
Idt anyone ik is available to union circle so ig i have to masuda
#1040555642668199936 can make a post about it
I never get responses in there
ah ok
it seems decently active there
I can’t even masuda hunt it I don’t have any of its evo line
thats y u trade for it. can even make a request for 1 in the non shiny queue (read rules and guidelines first) and get it thru that. can really offer any in game currency for non shiny requests
Drago
You need union
I just got off work
I’m too tired to help hunt but we can union circle

@molten oasis
Does anyone here think Arboliva is Reg H viable?
Do you have scarlet?
Yeah bro
Ok then yea
not with rillaboom
I just loaded up buddy
I’m in the game, let’s move to DMs
What if I proved you wrong. I built a team around it
could be a Certain Niche,but for what
what niche?
i just wanna ask
me too haha
i fail to see what it does now that we have a handful of better grass types
if he said that he needs to explain it,thats the main thing of identitfy it
even back then it wasnt very meta
Rillaboom,Amogus,i would argue Brambleghast is somewhat useable
brambleghast?
moreso yea rilla shroom ofc but even whims, scarada, sinistcha, hisuan lilligant are all better options
yeah exactly
shit even h decidueye and that guy is mid
i love the people that like it so much and im just like, its got 1 thing going for it lol
i find it incredibly one dimensional and super ez to play vs
good ability, good move, thats it everything else sucks
Bramble only becomes dominant when urshifu rapid and torn is dominant
And even then I wouldn’t call it dominant lol
yea i havnet struggled against it
ever, it just dies lol
ye its stats and typing just arent there
Yeah just underwhelming
a lot of the hisuan mons just arent very good
bascu
does quick battling give evs?
Hisui was a hit or miss
Tho
lilligant ^v^
Hisuian Braviary doesn't seem so bad
Psychic/Flying
Keen Eye, Sheer Force, Tinted Lens (Hidden)
110/83/70/112/70/65
510
Braviary
i hold a normal opinion tbf
I mean I’d prob react similarly but judging is funny :3
i didnt say all of them were bad
yea one of the good ones
i know
yea arent u like big on lillikoal


try it and see the mid for urself
trying not to relapse back into psyspam but
is hisuian liligant mainly used in psyspam?
rain
basc/arch rain stuff?
wanna see current paste idm sharing bc it just isn’t goin anywhere special lol
sure
im using that lmao
its a strong team
can yall make any improvements to my team?
seems solid
i havent used miracle seed rilla this format but i was using band and wow that damage haha
no shadow ball dengo and air balloon? 
oh mb its an old build on dengo lmao its the only mon i changed
i run choice specs witth dazzling gleam shadow ball make it rain and trick
i swapped shadowball for gleam cuz my friend keeps playing dragon and dark types lmao
but now i run both
yea but still plot set u generally want both stabs and a more defensive tera
if ur specs steel is fine and gleam as a flex move
it seems fine enough, id say maybe wisp over blitz on incin since ur prolly bringing rain a lot
ur tera grass idk if u need goggles necessarily but if u want the sleep immunity w/o giving up ur tera for it then yea go for it. b/w that tera, sinistcha and dengos natural immunities i feel like shroom shouldnt be too annoying for u
hmm good point
rain every game I play bruh
it’s not even that bad for me it just makes me mad to see it raining
Tempted to run like ttar team just to spite rain players
but rain counters ttar?
why lmao
seeing archaludon makes me very angry

idk why I’ve gotten really good into playing into it
thats good
wait does ttar counter rain or smh?
It turns it off
oh
not a “counter”
counter is a weird way of putting it but yea its a weather override
@modern harbor thoughts on fishnets? i also wanna buy sanrio bandaids for cosmetic
whenever i see ttar i just go bascu first then flip turn into peliper
but like just weather control
that way i overun rain
hit ttar with a hammer
*sand
ok NOWWW go pelipper
to think that I shiny hunted diraludon just to use arch
and now I hate it
disgusting 🤮
fishnets are good with black shoes
happens
but i recommend not raw dogging the fishnets either
LOL
wear tall socks, like up your shin a bit, or leg warmers, something at the bottom
i would not raw dog fishnets dw
pls trade me that arch i need one ill trade u smh for it frfr
mb
we have trading channels
they all want marked and shi
fu tao
if u have something. u need i suggest making a post or thread #1112832566261731328 #trading_sv_shiny
sounds skrunkly ngl
lolll
like in a ur a silly bean kinda way
wha
like denim shorts(theres prob a better way to describe) with fishnets that go under then stop above them at your tummy are cute af tbh but idk if i got the waist for dat

Me looking at the people playing decidueye

im confused why people werent playing flamigo like this
Me looking at people enjoy reg h while playing reg g at worlds
itll b over in a few days
Reg h seems worse than reg g ngl
nah
in terms of team diversity yes
Then it’s worse^
i wanna rip my eyes out sometimes when i load in
aarchaludon is a bit of a pain in the ass but i like reg H alot more than G personally
It’s ok when worlds players come it will be more diverse
reg h is 2 weeks in, whereas a large amount of great players havent played much if any of it
^^
reg g gave me a little crumb of skill so personally don’t mind it
same
archaludon everywhere I see
reg g is overrhated imo but i def prefer reg h so far atleast
Good to know I don’t have to worry about archaludon in top 8 in Baltimore
lmao
sempra was the one to make an annoying bascu arch peli balance core dawg gl
he didn’t make anything
That’s been a team for awhile now
He literally pasted the team from DOU
LOL

I kid u not DOU and DUBERS can like
im playing psyspam at kentucky bruh
just play the meta a couple months before the meta is out lol
i wanna skip to january bruh
HAHAHAHA real

pat pat
Good Job
I wanna skip reg g 2 electric boogaloo and go straight to reg j
look how cuuuteeee they are
Cuz reg g is not that fun
reg g is okay-
it just-
there’s not really much diversity that can happen cause it’s single restricteds
Wouldn’t reg g in January be reg I tho?
what
Damn horses
yay be proud of my cute purchases ^-^
I can OHKO Archa no porblem just meme it
LOL
Reg H does fele worse than G
like unironically
they’re cute :3
oh i gotcha gothca
I think reg h feels worse due to Archa rain and mausape just generally not having a weakness
So it’s dominant, and everywhere, and not fun to fight
Bro I love chilling at work at then suddenly everyone comes in

The 2 incin was a mistake and I changed the raichu to orgerpon hearthflame mb
I’m just starting to build my own teams so yeah
are you just starting Competitive?
Yea this is my first gen into vgc
I wanted raichu for all the miradons in the meta rn
just don't teambuild yet
i don't think thereare any Reshiram teams rn,I'll Try Build one
Should I just use rentals for a while? I was kinda told to experiment teambuilding a little
if ur new yea rental teams are a good way to better understand the meta and why things are good
Yea I’ve been playing vgc for a little over a month and I rose to master ball using lots of rentals I found from tourneys
if you’re brand new to the vgc scene, i’d recommend using a few rentals first to get the hang of how the pace of the battle works and understanding the mechanics :0
but uh
how much of the meta do you understand-
Here is a list of all of the resources I find most helpful when playing/learning VGC:
https://www.vgcguide.com/ (Helpful website for basics and also to get your feet wet)
https://www.pikalytics.com/ (Shows you usage data and helps you build Pokémon)
https://nerd-of-now.github.io/NCP-VGC-Damage-Calculator/ (Damage calculator that is very helpful when building teams or reflecting on games)
https://youtube.com/c/CybertronVGC (Best channel for daily VGC content, guiding you through the thought process you need for success)

https://twitter.com/VGCPastes - Tournament and high ranked teams
https://twitter.com/vgccorner - Helpful Twitter account that posts in-depth EV spreads and ideas about competitive pokemon
There are dozens of other resources, some of which are in the pinned messages of this channel. But these IMO are the best places to start absorbing knowledge and getting to a place where you're comfortable with VGC

i guess that’s kinda the-
question that needs to be answered for teambuilding…
novaaaa
go to bed it’s almost 1am
grandma emma has had enough excitement for the day
WAH
damn
GRANDMA !?
that's wild.
LMAO
im only 20 ,_,

I’ve been watching tons of regional and international tournaments for 2 to 3 months now so I felt I could try and build my own team but idk
what you got so far?
those aren't enough honestly,you have to play it yourself
@craggy dagger tho truthfully i am seepy af so gnsies
I too have been spending the last few weeks into some insight on more team building and trying to get EV spreads down more. It's still hit or miss on me for team building. but overall experience really is the best teacher.
Yea I’ve been playing lots of reg G comp and showdown
noooo wtffff
lmfao
Lmao
shes at the top of her game literally this formattttt
hehe-
Goodnight Emma!!

im mostly joking cuz i think rains better but sun is strong
good night beannnnn
Torkoal in power again

Do any of yall think reshiram could be taken to a tourney?
Instruct Eruption time lol
yes but not expect to do that well
if you wanna lose
Sad
hey im just speaking the truth
I forgot reshiram even existed in SV.
a comp helper here actually did well w/ it back in swsh iirc but for sv reshiram sucks unfortunately. could prolly do ok w/ it on ladder but in general its heavily outclassed as a restricted
I remeber trying to use it on ladder for SWSH back in the day, didn't last long for me.
kyurem white is offended
Reshiram in Double Restricted is way better in singles
like you dont have to soley rely on Reshiram
it still isnt good
man im so excited for zacian to not be the solo carry, in a little less than a year

dmax let it have more consistency and it filled a niche of resisting zacians stabs and a fire type that didnt take se from ogre
honestly rn i can only think of Wide Lens Reshiram or Life Orb-
wide lens?
oh damn yeah grandma
It’s annoying how oppressive the caly twins are
stupid horses
what the FUCK!
<3
they are since day one
tera does too much for them
I wonder how I will do at the locals this weekend with Caly-S. (I better win or I give up for the rest of the season.)
horses be horsing
hell i'm rooting for Miraidon in Worlds cuz screw them
what kinda bullshit mindset is this
idt its a question who im rooting for lol
it sure wont happen
ick
swampert
but i can dream
Zacian 
im not OTOT bro lol
go cir !
Ditto supremacy
ik 
and olivia 

well, it was
once roster on website goes up i gotta do all my favourite players list
it doesn't have the self sustain that CSR or CIR does
but if you can get past incin i still think its good and has a place in the meta
its lack of spread move and single target burst damage hurt it (unlike horses, miraidon kyogre and even pagos) easier means of damage mitigation vs it kinda mount a lot against it
mhmm
less snowball potential
yea, all the spread attackers get to snowball, zac has to pick its target carefully
go to bed
good stats and great typing only get u so far wen the other restricteds are the way they are
i'm suprised they did not make behemoth blade a spread move
yep
that doesnt make sense tho lol
