[molten oasis]

lmfao u know what

[molten oasis]

if gambit gets those stats and defiant i dont see why not

[rustic mountain]

it didnt come out after gen 8 sorry

[molten oasis]

wait defiant would kinda make sense, for the mon "lore" wise tho

it like, defied its ways of exiting the field at 50 hp

[rustic mountain]

[molten oasis]

instead making it a tactical retreat

[solid frigate]

it would make it very good against Incin and Shifu(Kinda)

[molten oasis]

i can sure dream tho

[solid frigate]

[mighty stump]

[mighty stump]

You need better Neutral management

[molten oasis]

wdym by that?

[craggy dagger]

wha

girl go to bed

[chrome knot]

no dude

i could eat a whole ass cucumber rn im so hungry

[modern harbor]

get him

[chrome knot]

fuck that sounds good rn

[mighty stump]

Turn 4, Play Rough into Iron Hands would have been better for more chip onto Incineroar especially when you had Pao on the field

[molten oasis]

oh, yea true

[mighty stump]

Things like that

[molten oasis]

i see i see, safer clicks pretty much

[mighty stump]

It's not like a "safer" click cause of the miss chance but it's a click that will forward your game a bit more so you can start reducing opponent resources

[molten oasis]

gotcha

[mighty stump]

The less HP Incin has the less it gets to switch in

[chrome knot]

@craggy dagger can you get me cucumber pleas

i can’t go out there

[mighty stump]

Like that Incin stayed way too healthy that entire game for the longest time

[molten oasis]

that was pretty bad yea

i'll keep that in mind for the next screens kyo mu

[mighty stump]

Also Turn 16 what was the point of the Protect there

You're not getting any healing from Grassy Terrain since you're burned

[molten oasis]

uhm, wasn't reflect still up or was that earlier?

[mighty stump]

Oh yeah, nevermind

[spiral ridge]

there was a mac and cheese staring at me from my pantry i was so lose to 2 am mac and cheese but took some home made garlic bread instead

[mighty stump]

Good luck

I'm just short of 1500

[mighty stump]

Go for it

[chrome knot]

you take care of me while i throw my brain out of a window :D

[midnight bison]

has anyone seen reg h teams with a lucario in it

[cyan smelt]

Idk if I should replace kingambit on my team with gallade

[mighty stump]

What's the team

[balmy glen]

No because bad

[modern harbor]

do u need wide guard

[molten oasis]

lost to dragon zama, zac missed PR

[modern harbor]

and is it reg g or h

[cyan smelt]

Well gholdengo is very annoying for my team and it's reg h

[midnight bison]

figured 😭

[cyan smelt]

The team is farig, blursa, skeledirge, rilla, palafin and kingambit

[midnight bison]

do u guys play vgc bo1 or bo3

[mighty stump]

bo1 for random concept testing and memes

bo3 to practice

[midnight bison]

ty

[modern harbor]

cart :P

my stupid ass cant play with my friend pokemon that i trained and pretty graphics

i lose all motivation and critical thinking on showdown

[midnight bison]

real

[cyan smelt]

I hate ingame ladder because you never know what tera mons are gonna be

[modern harbor]

true

or items

thats why i just play a lot until i have a good idea of what ppl run and try to cover for multiple teras

[mighty stump]

I mean, assume standard sets, play around that, go from there

Lol

[modern harbor]

i still suck tho

[cyan smelt]

At least I could immediately tell that there was an anger point krookodile set with flower trick meowscarada

[modern harbor]

i did that but then i faced a 252hp252def bold maushold that tanked a guts headlong rush

[balmy glen]

Just predict it to be the tera you don’t want it to be when making a play that u know forces them to tera

[molten oasis]

first bo3 si something i'd see in like, bo1 ladder in reg h+bundle

[modern harbor]

and specs psychic caly

s

reg h is gonna be so rough for me

[cyan smelt]

Reg h bo3 has been kicking my ass

[modern harbor]

ive only ever played vgc in reg g and i dont know anything but the current meta

[cyan smelt]

The reg h meta is archaludon rain, gholdengo murkrow and mausape with occasional dozo glim

[modern harbor]

glimmora?

[mighty stump]

Pretty much, but you need to be aware of the variations and tools they have

Lol

[cyan smelt]

Yeah glimmora

[modern harbor]

oof

i'll probably just play psyspam a little lol

[cyan smelt]

Archaludon teams usually have basculegion and/or overqwil too

[modern harbor]

overqwil is sludge bomb nuke right?

[midnight bison]

palafin 🙂

[cyan smelt]

Gunk snot

[modern harbor]

i remember it doing metric fuckton to me

[cyan smelt]

*shot

[modern harbor]

o same thing

[mighty stump]

I think Palafin on Rain can easily be just replaced by Basc

More immediate

[midnight bison]

here?

[cyan smelt]

Basculegion is a deadly sweeper when it comes in last with last respects and wave crash

[mighty stump]

Uhm

That looks awkward to me

[modern harbor]

any galar weezing enjoyers?

[midnight bison]

some guy from a beanie brawl made it and got 4th

so i asked him for the sheet

[mighty stump]

Still looks awkward to me. I feel Palafin and Pult can be easily replaced to add Basculegion, then opens up an extra slot for something like Amoonguss for better Archaludon longevity and an additional Dondozo answer

[molten oasis]

that seems like something tree was using

ik he played, palance and pult for a bit idt he was using archa peli tho

[mighty stump]

Additionally, having something like your own Gholdengo can be helpful against the mirror unless theres High Horsepower on Rillaboom.

Since at least you can avoid BPress stuff and use Trick Specs to add control

[cyan smelt]

I'm thinking I should replace U turn on rilla for hhp

[midnight bison]

im not too interested in switching aroudn the whole team bc im really new to vgc as of a few days ago

[mighty stump]

Overqwil can also be used if you don't desire Amoonguss for something more concrete against Dozo with Haze

[midnight bison]

but if a small change like replacing palafin with basculegion would help im ok with that

since they have similar identities in this comp

im still learning how to operate this team, or any team for that matter

[mighty stump]

Well theres overlap between Basc and both Fin and Pult

[midnight bison]

bc of last respects?

[mighty stump]

Like a well played Kingambit there can look to be trouble

[midnight bison]

archaludon has body press

i guess thats all i have for him tho

[mighty stump]

That's not how interactions work

[midnight bison]

wdym

[mighty stump]

It's not gonna be Kingambit vs Body Press Archa in a vacuum.

[cyan smelt]

Tofu do you think I should add vacuum wave on blursa to finish off a low HP archaludon or a sash pelipper

[mighty stump]

That means you're either sacrificng Protect, EP, or Hyper Voice so it's up to you really

[midnight bison]

i dont rly understand wym

[mighty stump]

You can't view things as a 1:1 that just because Archaludon has Body Press it means you've solved Kingambit. Redirection, defensive tera, and the contextual board state at the time when considering what's coming alongside Kingambit all comes into play.

[cyan smelt]

Well most of the archaludons tera into something that resists ep

[cyan smelt]

I'm thinking I might replace will o wisp on skele for yawn

[molten oasis]

i play so bad into clef boltbalance CSR teams lol

i'm learning the mu tho at least

i'll need to if i ever plan on playing reg g 2 electric boogaloo

[cyan smelt]

I played someone on cart earlier who terad their annihilape into normal type and kept using bulk up in front of my skeledirge

[mighty stump]

Lmao

[cyan smelt]

I had wisped it and its rage fist did nothing because I just let the burn chip it

[shadow wind]

Well yeah, blaze is a scary ability and you need to set up.

[mighty stump]

They're Unaware

Blaze brings back fond memories of Sash Cinderace though

[shadow wind]

No duh.

Thought my sarcasm was obvious enough.

[cyan smelt]

I guess I shouldn't have expected much from someone with the name hue gasshole

[shadow wind]

Now that’s a funny name.

Way better than the random numbers I see all the time on showdown.

Like at least make a terrible pun or something.

[cyan smelt]

He put more effort into evading the name filters than making a good team

[mighty stump]

I've heard more blatantly wrong answers from randoms all the time, so it's best to just mention it anyways since I stopped underestimating stupidity.

[shadow wind]

Or just take a joke, it ain’t that deep.

[cyan smelt]

From what I remember it was ttar lycanroc, indeedee and annihilape, I'm not sure he had a legendary

[molten oasis]

this was reg H?

[mighty stump]

Thanks for your poorly executed sarcasm attempt and shallow thinking.

[shadow wind]

No restricted teams in restricted format always confuse me.

[cyan smelt]

Reg g on cart

[molten oasis]

he's a bit ahead ig lol

[mighty stump]

Yet another to list ig

[shadow wind]

List?

[mighty stump]

I'm about to start seeing more blocked messages than not I think it's almost time for retirement

[molten oasis]

lmao

[shadow wind]

Ah a block list.

Fair enough I guess.

[molten oasis]

did my classes just not register or do they register the day of???

[shadow wind]

Anyway, I wonder how Reg H will go on cart when it comes out. Cause there’s so many people already labbing on Showdown.

[mighty stump]

University?

[molten oasis]

yea

[mighty stump]

Best to reach out to your admin or something

[molten oasis]

i went in and look and it says Im registered lol

but then under my classes it says no and now im confused

its 1 am i have to do this in the morning, at like, 7 am

was checking stuff b4 bed

[mighty stump]

When in doubt

Email administration

[molten oasis]

CLASSES DONT BEGIN UNTIL WEDNESDAY

that explains it, probably, i'll email them anyway

[rustic mountain]

man bm is so good

[mighty stump]

It is

[cyan smelt]

I love bm

[shadow wind]

Hey Tofu. If you read this I would like you to know that I was rude earlier for no good reason, and honestly that’s completely my bad. Just wanted to say sorry cause yeah it was uncalled for.

[molten oasis]

does bm have goat status?

[shadow wind]

I thought it was gonna be on every team in Reg H.

[cyan smelt]

The archaludon matchup is always 50 50 because you don't know if they'll tera or not

[shadow wind]

It’s not even that though, I feel like a +1 Draco always drops BM.

[cyan smelt]

That's why I set up tr first

[shadow wind]

Fair.

[cyan smelt]

Unless they double target farig

[shadow wind]

Ehh vacuum talk always goes no where.

Every game is different.

I just feel like there’s better TR sweepers than BM in this Reg.

Cause Reg G Calyrex Ice just sets up TR and BM can go to town, but with Indeedee being the prominent TR setter there’s almost no reason to not use something like Hatterene.

[silver basalt]

Hello I'm trying to create team for regulation h

[mighty stump]

What do you intend to build with?

[silver basalt]

One tailwind
Clefable/incineroar/Rillaboom/dragapult/murkrow/palafin
And one trick room
Armarouge/farigiraf/torkoal/indeedee f/ursaluna/archaludon

For the moment i didn't build up iv and ev

[mighty stump]

Disto

?

Well

[silver basalt]

Actually I didn't know what to play so I build one tailwind and one trick room

[silver basalt]

Disto is trick room in French

I forgotten the name in English when I was listing the team

[mighty stump]

For the initial team, I’m not particularly sure Clefable fits in there. It looks like its trying to go for strong TWs and tempo hard since Murkrow has meh staying power while you have a Balance core present

I think you’ll need to have another offensive piece so you can have a full tailwind HO mode

For TR, I would separate between a Psyspam mode and a FariLuna mode and not have them together.

Archaludon is also going to be awkward standalone in TR without rain support unless you have other intentions for it.

I think you should reference existing Psyspam team variations and go from there

[silver basalt]

It for if I encounter a rain team cause I see many rain team on reg h preview tournament

And for the tailwind Clefable is for having a fairy support with moon blast for attacking dragon pokemon and have some support/statut move and with the talent unaware

[mighty stump]

Sure, but you still need to look at the goal of the team and how you intend to play it.
Most common Dragon type at the moment would be Archaludon and that would be Neutral to Moonblast, alongside the fact you’ll have to invest defensively due to support set being your intention

Additionally, despite Unaware being useful, especially against Rain Archa, you’re still weak to Flash Cannon, and the rest of the team doesn’t have the most amazing coverage to hit Archa either aside from using many modifiers with Palafin (who still needs to have a negative tempo turn) or strong neutral in Dragapult (which doesn’t heavily pressure Archa enough especially with Stamina)

[knotty mirage]

Does anyone know what best coverage to hit flying / steel type with BM ursa ?

[mighty stump]

Yeah, you Tera Normal and throw in a Helping Hand boost for Blood Moon so you can nuke Corviknight to kingdom come

[knotty mirage]

Oh okay so i need to use tera normal on ursa well hopefully it will work well because i starting to see AV corviknight with body press

[mighty stump]

There is no AV Corviknight

[knotty mirage]

Huh so is it just a heavy special def investment corvi then

[mighty stump]

That's usually where the investment goes.

[zinc totem]

Usually. Iron defence body press handle physical side of defence

[tropic abyss]

https://pokepast.es/eaf0806967e8d026 any tips on this team comp im new

[cyan smelt]

Lack of protect is concerning

[knotty briar]

Currently working on a reg H team
Any suggestions for the item?
Covert cloak is mostly a filler item

[knotty briar]

Yeah, you really need protect...

[cyan smelt]

Doesn't comfey usually run sitrus

[tropic abyss]

what should i take out for protect

[mighty stump]

Imo Comfey should be Sitrus and then run Taunt

[knotty briar]

What should I replace for taunt?

[mighty stump]

Protect or Helping Hand

[knotty briar]

K thx

[gentle crag]

bman54319 has given 1 Gen Rep to woodtofu

[tropic abyss]

https://pokepast.es/e96d75aa673149e5 how does this look ?

[cyan smelt]

Choice band and 4 moves on dragapult, it's too frail to set up and I would consider running archaludon if you're running rain

Archaludon instead of dragapult

[knotty mirage]

Playing ladder and just lost too belly drum iron hand with caly s trick room didn't know close team sheet gonna be this bad

[nocturne holly]

Yea band pult is the best

Or you could do fast support with screeens, wisp, or t wave

[tropic abyss]

i dont get wisp burn does liek no damage

[nocturne holly]

But I think you’re doing that grim is better on that team you can for a crystal rain type thing

[nocturne holly]

Wisp burns
Burn halves the damage of all physical attacks

[tropic abyss]

oh

yeah i know liek nothing about this part of pokemon lol

[nocturne holly]

You also have booster energy on two mons

[nocturne holly]

If you’re new I recommend just playing rentals first lol

[tropic abyss]

idk what that is

[nocturne holly]

bruh they’re like pre made teams you just need a code and you can play them on cart

Or if you find a paste you can play them on showdown

[tropic abyss]

where i find trhose?

[nocturne holly]

Victory road and also #rental_teams

[modest lagoon]

Wait we use iron defense? I use bulk up

[mighty stump]

Bulk Up is fine if you're also using Brave Bird.

[modest lagoon]

Yeah I have brave bird

I ain't getting walled by ghost types that don't resist flying

[mighty stump]

Gholdengo:

[polar canyon]

You guys think something like this could work?
https://pokepast.es/8bc25b6806d853b5

Not very sure about using basculegion like that

[mighty stump]

Why Tera Fairy

What is this team

[polar canyon]

Idk I'm not set on that yet

Not sure what's better tho

[polar canyon]

Yeah not the best reaction to get

Back to working on it ig

[knotty briar]

This a singles team?

[polar canyon]

That's an even worse reaction to get

[silver basalt]

I don't know what to play so many team on YouTube I pick one
Maushold/annihilape/dragonite/gholdengo/whimsicott/incineroar
I do 2 game and I drop the team

[polar canyon]

Dragonite?

[knotty briar]

Just made it to master ball tier with this team!!!

[mighty stump]

gz

[zinc totem]

maushold annihilape core could be something you can play around or scarf annihilape that uses final gambit could be also option in some teams

tho i've noticed that blood moon ursaluna is very high in demand but for reason. BM OHKO even tatsudozo combo with Helping hand

[dull ibex]

Yayyyyy

Nice job

[ember linden]

Water Tera or Ghost Tera to boost last respects or Wave Crash

[knotty briar]

I'd personally go ghost

[torn parrot]

I would prefer water cus you can click it at all times of the battle

But I’ve seen both

[knotty briar]

Basculegion is more of a late game sweeper, last I checked...

[mighty stump]

I mean it still cna provide immediate up front damage lol

I prefer Ghost to not explode to Rillaboom.

[knotty briar]

True enough

It's not a common pick, but it can seriously fuck you up if you're not prepared for it

[mighty stump]

Basc is pretty common at the moment

[knotty briar]

Really? Huh...

I haven't seen many

Then again, I run mainly trick room and basculegion isn't something you typically bring against that

Just hi

[mighty stump]

Hello.

[chrome knot]

@torn parrot maya good morninnngggg

[torn parrot]

Good morning ((:

[chrome knot]

@spiral ridge ULTRA MOON HAS A WHOLE LURANTIS OUTFIT!??!!!!!????

[patent marsh]

ye

[chrome knot]

so why isnt it in EVERY GAME

[spiral ridge]

It does? That’s cool

[torn parrot]

Why isn’t every game customization better than the last

[chrome knot]

i want the luran top back :(

[spiral ridge]

Swsh was prob the best customization wise especially for guy characters

[chrome knot]

guys always look stinky

[spiral ridge]

My swsh character is cool :(

[chrome knot]

show

[knotty mirage]

The customization def get sucky each new gen especially SV

[spiral ridge]

He’s a punk

[knotty mirage]

Can only wear school uniform just really sucks

[chrome knot]

punk bitch(!!)

[spiral ridge]

Yeah :)

Punk music is nice

[chrome knot]

listen to my death metal

https://open.spotify.com/track/7xqWmiqrOXLywkE6aIvB7Y?si=DVDOjhqgSbqq70l8K7ZsKw

:3

[spiral ridge]

Oh I like metal too

Children of bodom

[chrome knot]

the joke is it wasnt metal in the slightest

[spiral ridge]

Oh

Lemme go listen to it I was too tired to wanna listen o metal

😭

HAHAHAHA

Nice metal love

[chrome knot]

thanks

[spiral ridge]

It is genuinely nice

[chrome knot]

the chorus is cute

wait for it

[knotty briar]

Yeah tbh, gen 7 trainer customization was the best

[silver basalt]

is armarouge/indeedee F/dondozo/tatsugiri/hydrapple and torkoal is a good team for a trick room?

I didn't know what item to give I have life orb on Armarouge and that all

[rustic mountain]

dozo/giri isnt really used on tr based teams

indeedee/arm/torkoal/h lilligant can give u flexibility in and out of tr

[silver basalt]

Is because I see dozo base speed I thinked I've found something that can work

[solid frigate]

Who the fuck ping me

[solid frigate]

i honestly prefer Gen 8

[rustic mountain]

i mean dozo itself has a low base speed, its moreso after combining w/ tatsu that it gains the omniboost and generally ppl invest a bit into speed to be able to utilize commander effectively. it gets awkward trying to have it fit on tr whilst also having the tatsu mode if that makes sense

[silver basalt]

Dozo is viable alone?

[solid frigate]

yeah with Ting Lu in Reg C-F

[molten oasis]

Dozo’s viable by itself now imo

Decent yawn bot

[rustic mountain]

yea so i wasnt necessarily saying its viable on its own (has been before not sure this format) but depending on the team comp it might. i think in ur case especially since it seems ur newer is just round out the tr archetype and try going from there. so adding another strong tr sweeper outside of torkoal and armarouge like reg ursaluna or blood moon. lilligant torkoal gives u an option for faster things w/ after you eruption and what not

[craggy dagger]

dozo works okay-
don’t always need to bring the tatsu in which it kinda becomes the disruptive tanky support

unaware doesn’t uhhh
ignore guts does it

[rustic mountain]

no

[silver basalt]

I'm not specially newer I do 2/3 tournament in regulation b and c but I'm still a begginer

[rustic mountain]

yea u could, jus gta forsake like eq for yawn to give it that flexibility if tatsu is on the team. cuz i think crash/order up/protect are all musts

[mighty stump]

I feel EQ kinda sucks at the moment anyways cause of Rilla

[rustic mountain]

thats pretty new especially if those were some of ur first formats

plus understanding of the game isnt necessarily supplemented by time

[craggy dagger]

you can always go body press instead of crash if you’re worried about intimidate

[rustic mountain]

yea it def seems like the easiest moveslot to forsake for something else. i feel like sub is underused atm

[rustic mountain]

would u be the defensive tatsu then? order ups give +1 def instead in that case

[craggy dagger]

yaya

[rustic mountain]

makes sense

[craggy dagger]

order up already hits pretty hard anyways so

[rustic mountain]

yea im not sure, could be interesting

i feel like there were a few running around in early regs

idt those teams were tr tho but maybe as its own it can function still

[craggy dagger]

oh

for trick room-
rhhh-
not really-
dozogiri’s +2 speed doesn’t help at all

[rustic mountain]

yea thats what i was originally saying and its awkward cuz u wanna invest in speed but then solo dozo not being min or close to under tr feels weird

[chrome knot]

novaaaaaa

pickle killed the petilil i wanted to catch ;(

[craggy dagger]

pickle doesn’t want to be replaced

[chrome knot]

bwah maybeee

[spiral ridge]

[shadow wind]

This for gen 9 ou?

[last nexus]

Yes

More for in game

[shadow wind]

Ah, sorry. I will be of no use then. Singles is not my strong suit.

[last nexus]

That's oke I like to learn double to maybe even more then single play

[balmy glen]

Give it a week for the worlds players to start kicking in

[shadow wind]

My rank is gonna drop faster than it already is 😔😔

[craggy dagger]

the entire indigo disk is doubles :0

[pastel blade]

Does anyone have a spiritomb set?

[last nexus]

Yeah I know I already finish it but competitive you can do singles and doubles right?

But later I saw some trick room kingambit double and thought maybe beter to look for double competitive

[halcyon comet]

Vgc is only doubles

[knotty briar]

Gratz

[shadow wind]

Thanks 🙏

[last nexus]

Yeah I did not know that at first

[knotty briar]

What item should I use?

[shadow wind]

It learns ice ball?

[knotty briar]

Shit showdown is bugging out on me

[shadow wind]

And probably something like black glasses or lorb, depending on how hard you want him to hit.

Oh was it mean to be iron head?

[knotty briar]

Yeah

[shadow wind]

Ah ok, makes more sense.

[next stump]

If you ever want to play official tournaments or anything in real life, learn doubles

[shadow wind]

Yeah probably lorb or black glasses then.

[last nexus]

Oke I will thx

[gentle crag]

tim258761 has given 1 Gen Rep to mlbd

[knotty briar]

I'll go life orb
Thx

[gentle crag]

bman54319 has given 1 Gen Rep to connertep

[shadow wind]

Yeah the seem just seems like it needs some physical power and that would sure be it.

[last nexus]

What are some good pokemons for a kingambit trick room like farigiraf and toecruel?

[craggy dagger]

[chrome knot]

stinkity

[knotty briar]

I'd use amoongus over toedscruel for trick room
Especially if you're prepping for reg H

Farigiraf is THE trick room setter alongside Indeedee

[last nexus]

And and the last pokemon I thought a sp.atk sweeper because kingambit is attack

[knotty briar]

Blood moon ursaluna

It's easily one of the best special attackers in the game

Also if you're keeping Armarouge, use expanding force alongside indeedee

[bold geode]

Probably Black Glasses or Safety Googles with this

[knotty briar]

Incin has goggles
Life orb not work?
This is the team

https://pokepast.es/45ecf3c109812a32

Prepping for reg H and I wanna polish off the team

[bold geode]

Lorb probably works

[knotty briar]

Any advice for the team?

[surreal echo]

What do ya’ll think of Grimmsnarl in the reg H meta? I would think that with the lower power level and the lack of guaranteed crits from Urshifu it would fare a lot better

[knotty briar]

Dual screens is a menace

[bold geode]

Grimmsnarl did good with Urshifu bruh

[bold geode]

Nah not really looks fine

[knotty briar]

Ok thanks
I'm officially ready for reg H

[gentle crag]

bman54319 has given 1 Gen Rep to dollarmonke

[molten oasis]

Screens aren’t as valuable in a lower powered format

[knotty briar]

It turns ugh... into AAAAAAAGH!!!

[bold geode]

I mean yeah I was just stating it did good with Ursh lol

But yeah rn screens is just
In a weird place tbh

[knotty briar]

It'll find its place
It always does...

[bold geode]

Can't say they're bad but can't say they're great

[molten oasis]

a9 is so weird rn I hate it cuz this is probably the format I get it to work in

[bold geode]

Sure someone will figure out screens but yeah

[molten oasis]

Can get it*

[bold geode]

A9 is always weird

[molten oasis]

Ok but a9 is like, extra weird rn

[bold geode]

Yuh Huh

[molten oasis]

In restricted it just sucks lol

[foggy lodge]

Is there a date for the first reg H regional?

[molten oasis]

And only really works with Kyurem

[bold geode]

See the problem once again is A9 is too damn fast

[knotty briar]

Regular or hisuian?

[molten oasis]

Ninetales

[bold geode]

Oh no A9 is Alolan Ninetales

[molten oasis]

Alolan ninetales

[knotty briar]

Ohhhh

[molten oasis]

Slow screens is kinda ass tho

Grimm has priority so it gets around it

[foggy lodge]

Whimsiiii

[molten oasis]

Shut

[knotty briar]

Yeah it's really weird for sure

[molten oasis]

This convo is about a9 lol

[knotty briar]

I faced a few while climbing to master ball

[molten oasis]

I mean I think the other issue is that a9 doesn’t have a great partner to be with

I think a9 has potential but you’re mu into Archa rain is so rough

[knotty briar]

One with milotic really messed me up
But that was mainly cuz I had almost nothing to deal with milo

[surreal echo]

I mean yeah in gen 8 it did, but Urshifu was weaker back then

[knotty briar]

It did good in gen 9 too

Anything that made restricted mons hit less hard is valuable

[solid frigate]

thats Incineroar-

[knotty briar]

Grimsnarl doesn't care about ca

[solid frigate]

Shifu is based on you kill

[knotty briar]

Ca blocks incin pretty hard

[solid frigate]

CA also blocks Parting shot

[solid frigate]

Which Grimmsnarl usually have

[molten oasis]

ca?

[knotty briar]

Clear amulet

[solid frigate]

yeah but Grimmsnarl and Incin both have Parting shot

[molten oasis]

That’s not really true

Most are double screens and twave

[knotty briar]

Grimsnarl usually runs dual screens and taunt

[molten oasis]

That’s also kinda wrong

[knotty briar]

At least the ones I faced had that...

[molten oasis]

It’s usually foul play/spirit break, both screens, and then usually twave but some have parting/taunt

[solid frigate]

Spirit Break or Foul Play as final attacking move

But Foul PLay is more common due to

Calyrex

[knotty briar]

That's an accurate assessment

[solid frigate]

Statement but ok

[molten oasis]

Stupid horse

[solid frigate]

I still use Spirit break lol

[craggy dagger]

[molten oasis]

Nova, how do I get a9 to work

[rustic mountain]

rios opted for t wave/reflect/taunt/foul play (highest placing grimm at worlds)

[molten oasis]

That is my personal project for the reg

[craggy dagger]

ooo

[knotty briar]

Oi! That "stupid horse" has carried me to master ball tier since reg G started!

[craggy dagger]

i assume you want a snow team?

[solid frigate]

Its still stupid don't defend it.

[molten oasis]

Okay? I still hate it

[craggy dagger]

or just a9?

[molten oasis]

Anything lol

I really wanna get it going I don’t have a starting place tho

[solid frigate]

how to make Drago estatic:

Build a good snow team that works

[knotty briar]

Listen, I love trick room, and it's THE trick room restricted mon

[molten oasis]

You can make me excited if you can give me any good a9 sauce

[solid frigate]

sure its a necessary Evil but still stupid

[craggy dagger]

cause what i was thinking was maybe instead of utilizing the snow for the entire team, just use snow as like a weather deterrent for rain etc

then again

[knotty briar]

After the hours I spent getting one with min speed, I'll gladly embrace the evil

[craggy dagger]

snow teams are also fun

[rustic mountain]

too bad abomasnow sucks too rn

[knotty briar]

It stopped being good when a9 came back

[molten oasis]

I have stuff I like and will be playing with otherwise, it’s also my second favorite pokemon and I want to get it to work

[rustic mountain]

i think itd have a place if the format was different. jus doesnt favor either tho

[knotty briar]

Good choice for a favorite

[molten oasis]

Peli Archa makes its life pretty hard

Dengo being meta isn’t helpful either

[knotty briar]

Yeah...
It's really unfortunate...

[molten oasis]

Tbf, there won’t be any point in which snow will be great cuz it’s just, never gonna be in that position

[craggy dagger]

tera water

[rustic mountain]

its had its moments

[solid frigate]

kinda wanna see if Snowbax can combine with what archetype

No double Weather cuz thats clunky

[craggy dagger]

uhhh

[molten oasis]

It had 1 or 2, 1 being a win from Tyo

[craggy dagger]

i wanna say let’s run something disruptive

[knotty briar]

Didn't articuno win a regional because of snow?

[molten oasis]

Yes

[solid frigate]

thats because the Meta is very Ice Weak

[craggy dagger]

bright powder snow cloak

[solid frigate]

no pls

[molten oasis]

That’s, no that’s, I want to to be consistent lol

and that’s the other issue

[craggy dagger]

yaya

[rustic mountain]

i think bax is better on rain

[knotty briar]

No
Bad
Go sit in a corner and think about what you said

[craggy dagger]

veil nasty plot baton pass maybe?

[solid frigate]

i can confirm due to i used bax in Reg F lol

[molten oasis]

…

[rustic mountain]

tho arch should be the dragon slot for rain, bax could still work

[craggy dagger]

okay i’ll stop messing around

[solid frigate]

isn't that too clunky and one taunt beats it

[solid frigate]

hell i seen 2 of them used at the same time

but thats reg F

[knotty briar]

You want a9 for reg H right?

[rustic mountain]

u could maybe get away w. it in reg h but idk if u really should haha

[molten oasis]

I’ve already stated I’m not interested in anything else, sorta

[craggy dagger]

hmmm

[molten oasis]

I kinda have a team I like and will work on more

[rustic mountain]

?

im talkin to torrent about double dragon

[molten oasis]

oh

My bad

[rustic mountain]

all good

[solid frigate]

i mean not sure lol

[molten oasis]

Yes reg h

[knotty briar]

The main threats for reg H would probably be archaludon, ursaluna-bloodmoon, kingambit, palafin, and armarouge

You would need something to deal with those

[craggy dagger]

gimme some time and i’ll come up with something

[molten oasis]

maybe I’m not touching a9 yet

[craggy dagger]

a little busy atm

[solid frigate]

Mausape:

[molten oasis]

or at all

[knotty briar]

Oh yeah that too

[molten oasis]

This game is, understandably, very mean to favorites

[foggy lodge]

Rilla

[craggy dagger]

[knotty briar]

In the lower power level of reg H, I suppose rillaboom would be considered a main threat...

[knotty briar]

Justice for my boi Blastoise

[foggy lodge]

Rilla is always a threat

[molten oasis]

I don’t feel like I’m that interest in reg h so far cuz idk what I want to make work, that’s good

[foggy lodge]

I think the most popular set for regH is actually miracle seed

[craggy dagger]

miracle seed what

[molten oasis]

Rilla

[rustic mountain]

big 4 to me are arch, ape, dengo and bm

[craggy dagger]

[rustic mountain]

gambit and palafin are strong but those other guys are the big ones

[craggy dagger]

specs hisuian arcanine goes brrrrr

[knotty briar]

I haven't seen gholdengo in so long, I completely forgot about it

[solid frigate]

Reg H is a bait lol

[craggy dagger]

little puppy has converted to firing gems rather than throwing rocks

[rustic mountain]

yea dengo is arguably the best mon in reg h

[molten oasis]

Gholdengoat

[craggy dagger]

yah

36+ metal coat good :3

[foggy lodge]

My top would be Rilla, Gholdengo, Ursaluna BM, Amoonguss and Inci

[molten oasis]

Hydrapple just straight up sucks so idk about that one

[craggy dagger]

it’s

it looks okay-
not many ice types running around-

[knotty briar]

Hydrapple doesn't even work in trick room

[molten oasis]

Uhm, ehhh

[knotty briar]

I tried and failed

[foggy lodge]

Yeah but there are a lot of the other

[dapper crag]

SableyeBot version 4.28.0

[craggy dagger]

it’s why i said okay

it’s ehhhhh-

do i dig up my pledge team

[knotty briar]

That's honestly being generous...

[rustic mountain]

mons like rilla shroom and incin are strong but those are what enable the other mons to do their thing. moreso maus for ape tho and peli for arch tho

[craggy dagger]

what

it’s better than you think

[knotty briar]

I tried using hydrapple with a trick room team in reg H showdown
I failed miserably

[molten oasis]

Maybe you’re just bad

[craggy dagger]

yah exactly how were you playing hydra?
