pseudo zinc
#

On a farigiraf would you run hyper voice or psychic noise

craggy dagger
#

run both .-.
well depends on what you’re doing for the giraffe

pseudo zinc
#

Want to run helping hand, trick room and foul play and one of the 2 but also considering imprison

solid frigate
#

what did i miss

#

Nah Imprison suck

#

just read it frfr

pseudo zinc
#

The thing is my team is absolutely not trick room

solid frigate
#

then slot one that works in TR

pseudo zinc
molten oasis
#

Weezing?

pseudo zinc
#

Annihilape and weezing for bm ursaluna

solid frigate
#

also Primarina works in TR wdym

chrome knot
#

weezing on a team that all want their abilities

pseudo zinc
#

Was going to run it quicker side

chrome knot
#

smart.

solid frigate
#

And Slot Weezing for something valueable

#

Like hell another Support can work as well

molten oasis
pseudo zinc
#

Minds eye allow it to hit ghost types with it signature move

#

So just block the ability

solid frigate
#

but your team really need THEIR ABILITIES

craggy dagger
solid frigate
#

Especially Fari and Primarina who needs them for Blocking Priority and Have WATER STAB

pseudo zinc
#

Does quash work in trick room

solid frigate
#

just run Mausape

Its just better than removing your own Mons Abilities

molten oasis
#

You can handle it fine w/out weezing and have maus instead

chrome knot
#

a little stinky but.. you pass for today

craggy dagger
chrome knot
#

nooooo

you can’t bully the sick girl :(

pseudo zinc

Meta is fine, it is not a bad thing to use the meta

If you think it is change your mentality on that

pseudo zinc

#

Weezing does not meet the good niche in this reg

If weezing had trick room then it would be great

With slaking

#

Do I not run helping hand?

solid frigate
#

Not necessary

zinc totem
#

Is coil hypnosis only viable milotic set?

solid frigate
#

i might experiment it before i skip reg H

zinc totem
solid frigate
#

Dont do it

#

Muddy Water,Ice Beam,Haze/Hypnosis and Protect/Coil

That is more better

pseudo zinc
#

Terra steel annihilape thoughts?

solid frigate
#

its Haze and Protect,Hypnosis and Coil

solid frigate
#

you dont want to be spored

pseudo zinc
#

Will follow me not stop that

solid frigate
#

not recommend

pseudo zinc
#

Or is ammomgus popular next to ursa

solid frigate

since They can just Nuke Maus and Make Ape a bit weary

solid frigate

Grassy seed or rocky helmet on farig might be best ones yeah

#

Also reason why im thinking life dew milotic is beacuse i am goin make azumarill team and imprison was help block hazers haha

dull ibex
#

this sounds like you are trying to do too much

zinc totem
#

But then again belly drum on azu would be bad when thinking more about it. So ChenShrug

solid frigate
zinc totem
solid frigate
zinc totem
#

Not even viable option

solid frigate
#

not really,it fits as a Niche set

But eh idk maybe swap out someone like Milotic

#

with something that works

bold geode
zinc totem
#

Tho azumarill isnt viable either

#

Azumarill is worse palafin KEKW

bold geode
#

I mean kinda kinda not
Depends on if you wanna switch out and in to activate ability or not

zinc totem
#

Yeah you need swap mon to do so but still

#

Tho azu has immunity to dragons but only dragons that are use is archaludon basically that counters azu

molten oasis
steep bone
#

What's the ideal build for fire ogerpon?

zinc totem
#

Tho reg H starts so no ogerpon

bold geode
steep bone
#

OK thanks!! Is there a guide/website with all the recommended builds for other mons too?

zinc totem
#

Oh azumarill is trickroom version of palafin

next stump
#

are you playing VGC or singles?

next stump
zinc totem
next stump
#

it’s definitely viable, just not S or A tier

zinc totem
solid frigate
#

Usually without Rilla sets are Cudgel,Wood Hammer,Spiky Shield,Follow Me

#

You miss a lot of KOs with Horn leech

zinc totem
#

Need strong water attacker? Palafin/bascu, need TR mon? Just psyspam or use ursaluna

Need fairy? Just use Sylveon/play rough meowscarada

pseudo zinc
#

What just happened

#

Why did rage fist and draining punch miss

chrome knot
#

zoroark

solid frigate
#

kek the funni guy

#

that took Skill check

chrome knot
#

my favourite alolan ninetales move set
Hyper Voice
Bitter Malice
Focus Blast
Protect

#

or that it didn’t start snowing when it hit the field

zinc totem
next stump
#

Palafin*

#

no need to switch

#

Pelipper + Azumarill was really solid during Reg A and B, I think Archaludon has made its life harder but it can still be used

zinc totem
pseudo zinc
next stump
#

azumarill is not that slow, a little investment and you’re outspeeding like 80% of the format under tailwind

pseudo zinc
next stump
#

okay? how does that counter what I said though lol

zinc totem
#

I dont know what azu outspeeds outside other TR mons

next stump
#

if you’re able to hit like 80-85 speed and click tailwind, you’re faster than most things

zinc totem
#

And paper azu doesnt seem good or you sacrifice attack investment and you do no damage

#

116 evs need for speed to be 80-85

next stump
#

This hits 85SPE for tailwind, the second attack EV bump, and the rest into HP

#

you’ll live most electroshots without needing to tera

next stump
#

+1 164+ SpA Archaludon Electro Shot vs. 228 HP / 4 SpD Assault Vest Azumarill: 178-210 (87.2 - 102.9%) -- 18.8% chance to OHKO

What item are you running?

zinc totem
#

Most archas run max SpA

solid frigate
zinc totem
zinc totem
next stump
#

Also if you’re running Azumarill, you’re probably not bringing Azu/Peli into a team with Archaludon

solid frigate
#

as a Archa User in Reg F, 44+.

zinc totem
solid frigate
#

then don't use Azu

#

run something Like Paldea Tauros

zinc totem
next stump
#

I don’t know what you’re looking for lol, you were asking for ways Azumarill can be used but you’re denying the one way it can be used

#

I never said it’s great, but it is usable

#

there will be some Azumarill at regionals this regulation

zinc totem
#

I highly doubt it

zinc totem
pseudo zinc
zinc totem
#

So azumarill has 0 slots

pseudo zinc
#

Will send the team if requested (dm)

zinc totem
next stump
#

we’ll agree to disagree 👍

zinc totem
#

That palafin,bascu or ursa cant

next stump
#

A strong physical water attacker from turn 1 that can flex inside or outside of TR (basically a physical Primarina), a Fire-Tera Annihilape answer (hitting both sides super effectively), pretty bulky if EV’d properly especially considering Tera

zinc totem
#

Bascu covers that too

next stump
#

If you’re running a Farigiraf style TR team, good chance Azumarill will fit better

zinc totem
#

Im not running TR teams. My teams are balanced or tailwind usage

next stump
#

you’re not the only player 😭

#

we are not talking about YOUR team, we are talking about azumarill as a pokemon

zinc totem
#

True that

chrome knot
#

bwomp

torn parrot
#

Womp womp

pallid hare
#

wah wah wah waaaaaah

zinc totem
#

But even then azu seems subpar to strong phys attackers when thinking about meta beacuse you can just use ursaluna for same result on annihilape but i will try it before saying more

torn parrot
#

When I think about azumarill

#

All I can think about is missing play rough

zinc totem
#

For me its how it fares when compared other mons and what it offers even every scenario i try think of other mons seem do things better than azu

Like ursaluna tho it need one protect turn to do stuff while azu doesnt need wait that turn

modern harbor
#

tell me why i just played against max speed caly ice

Yes all moves that are hydro miss accuracy

That would be even worse cuz they think they can stop it KEKWDISCO

Give false hope till they notice you cannot prankster taunt muk

well tbf i'm skipping Reg H

For Playing Splatoon

I just gotta figure out if I want Sitrus or Eject Button

If I'm Eject Button, it can be easier to switch out for team
But if I'm Sitrus I can do big funny

#

At least do big funny easier

#

Probably Eject Button

spiral ridge

also knowing me second i did that the heat wave would miss .-.

spiral ridge

#

converted just means gaining value from it

yeahhh

the like 8 shadow balls in a row definitely made me lose value on turns 😭

It worked so

if it tastes good its good

But just had like rosemary, garlic, salt and pepper on it, nothing too fancy

looking through shodown avatars and like i wanna swap off the one i ahve but it is genuinely too fucking perfect for me

# pseudo zinc So is it a decent team?
  • Maushold always has to be faster than Annihilape if you actually want to take advantage of Rage Fist.
  • Rillaboom still wants a proper Grass STAB outside of Grassy Glide
  • What is the purpose of Covert Cloak Primarina? Is there any particular matchup you're planning on running this set into because completing FWG is not necessary.

Also I pretty much suspect this team loses to Typhlosion HO

There is more than one correct set

I promise you if I scanned every worlds team I'd find one.

#

Usage stats is just bits of information meant to guide what's common. Not dictate the degree of how correct something is.

#

Again, if you can't apply the information gleamed from the statistics it;s just as useless as blindly following nonsense

#

Inference, nuance, deduction. These concepts exist

#

Reasoning, justification, intent.

zinc totem
#

yeah there is 2 band rillas in top 8 which is surprising while other teams has av rilla but didnt make it to top 10

knotty mirage
#

If i want to use tyranitar for reg H is it better to use clear amulet or assault vest ?

zinc totem
dull ibex
#

Usage is what's popular

#

You can't put the top 6 most used mons and sets together and have a good team

mighty stump
#

If stats are so indicative, you probably shouldn't be using Azumarill or Raichu

zinc totem
#

raichu was more there for fake out than anything else cuz i tried find decent fake out mon. i did consider incine also on that slot but in rain incine is kinda.... yeah

mighty stump
#

Incin on Rain is normal. You just don't run Fire move lol

zinc totem
#

yeah. i was considering knock off fake out parting shot and will-o-wisp

#

but taunt might be on incine better in reg H due not having that many physical threats that reg G has (annihilape and kingambit mainly in H)

#

wait why flare blitz is 65% in usage OwO

#

how recent is this graph

#

im actually surprised that flare blitz is even in reg G 65% usage

#

it felt like will-o-wisp was in most of teams to counter caly-ice/koraidon

mighty stump
#

Tera Ghost + Will-O was the MU for a lot of teams into Zama

#

Koraidon less so, especially since it's commonly Tera Fire

zinc totem
mighty stump
zinc totem
#

thats true

#

but i wonder what sets they run then with flare blitz Hmmge

knotty mirage
#

Should i replace one of this move with protect or is this good enough ?

For burn and yeah i guess for wide guard too

#

I mean i can run hydro pump but let just say i'm not sure if i can always pull off coil

zinc totem
#

well it depends how often you click hypnosis

knotty mirage
#

Scald could be decent i guess maybe if i get taunted too i can just spam that and maybe fish burn on something like annihilape

zinc totem
#

yeah scald definetly isnt bad move and not many gets it in sv

knotty mirage
#

Wait how many percentage does Hypnosis get after one coil does it make hypnosis 90% accurate ?

zinc totem
#

if i remembver correctly its 80 or 90

knotty mirage
#

So need 2 coil to get 100% accurate hypnosis huh

zinc totem

yep

It’s up to playstyle and team and the meta for rillaboom items tbh not really a distinct way on how the individual mon itself is played. It’s like the reason why mons is fun lol

You can take a mon and use it for a completely different reason than someone else

Is there any logic behind dance team duck?

Like how does oricorio bennifit it

Or how does it bennifit oricorio

zinc totem

#

Duck doesn’t quiver dance

#

And oricorio doesn’t use its attack stat

zinc totem
#

oh he is using quacawhatsit?

torn parrot
#

I’m trying to help my friend make a ququaval team but im ngl not sure what path i wanna go down

I want to make something easy for him to use because he’s a relatively new player

#

If he has to make a lot of decisions I feel like it’s gonna be hard for him

zinc totem
torn parrot
#

I just don’t know what the bennifitsvare of oricorio and quack

zinc totem
#

quackaval has no benefit for oricorio unless ducks signature move is a dance

torn parrot

Yeah the only I can think of is the speed boost

#

Yet when there’s an oricorio team I always see him there

aqua step doesnt go as dance i dont think

Just support for gyara usually

it can be i think set up gyra is bad tho

jus better set up mons in general

its a good water initimidate tho

Tbf, you can be bad into smth meta and still be good but idk gyara is that

and thats not gonna factor that Gyarados Movepool is trash offensively

Not really good into any of the meta rn tbh, I’d rather have Grimmsnarl or clefable even for twave

yea like arch doesnt invalidate all water types its jus yea does gyra offer enough to justify a slot

its role on new balance was jus paralyze stuff +waterfall flinch and intimidate it also had decent typing into like chi yu flutter stuff. but yea now w/ a different meta it doesnt necessarily offer the same value it did but maybe as it progresses it finds more of a place
