#

I want multiple sets for shiny pult

mighty stump
#

i also need to do Gengar

dull ibex
#

dire claw is so dumb

mighty stump
#

My opinion of the move hasn’t really changed

#

The inconsistency, despite being an overall value-adding move due to the by-product nature and having no drawback by just clicking it

#

Not something one should lean on for status but overall ++

#

but ive had many games where it just doesnt trigger

dull ibex
#

I lean on it for SE damage or neural

#

but its really funny when a status happens

mighty stump
#

yea

#

which is what its meant to be

dull ibex
#

do you or anyone wanna watch cart or SD?

mighty stump
#

uh i can do so for a bit, might be a bit quiet

dull ibex
#

#

A well positioned gambit is hell for rain

#

I think I played well tbh

solid frigate
#

yeah exactly

dull ibex
#

me dumping your basc was a nightmare for you

#

that was the only mon giving me trouble

solid frigate
#

if i did not Tera then the whole thing is so different

dull ibex
#

I don't think so tbh

#

but maybe basc was my priority to kill there

solid frigate
#

fair

dull ibex
#

I think basc going down made my chances skyrocket

#

how high up the vgc ladder are you?

solid frigate
#

1200-1300

#

yeah i am not pushing

dull ibex
#

good to know im still as good as 1300s players

solid frigate
#

Hey all I’m trying to remember the name of this competitive player that Wolfe mentioned in a video, been searching for a while but I can't seem to find the video so maybe it wasn't Wolfe but someone else. But anyway they said that this person always used a max HP max spdef Tyranitar in their doubles teams and became well known for it, and people would like clap and cheer whenever they sent the Tyranitar out because they recognized it, and it was the same build every time. Anyone know who I’m talking about?

The weird team would've been like
Centered around Specs Kilowattrell KekHands

rustic mountain
#

honestly tho, theres worse choices

bold geode
#

I saw it once
Basically Rajan's Indy team but Kilowattrell

#

So next GC it's either that or Upper Hand Dnite stuff depending on like
What Reg it is

rustic mountain
#

yea ill cross that bride wen it comes up haha upper hand dnite sounds insane tho lol

bold geode

I legit tried to make Infernape work with that

Had an old lady stare into my soul just now as I am walking to break room, that's nice

#

Also happy birthday Ogerpon

rustic mountain

#

I heard that people just build unburden sneasler super bulky now

bold geode
#

It can be bulky, but also it's just pretty frail so

#

Once again
Sash Poison Touch is the way imo

rustic mountain
# torn parrot Sneasler is scary

yea it can be really good u jus gta position it well. i jus had to play really well after volc went down for me t1 i did not think theyd brave bird off rip or even have it thats on me

limber marsh
#

Ah mb

rustic mountain
#

all good, jus we have channels for that

bold geode
#

It works fucking flawlessly when I used it vs Unburden

#

Most the time poisons proc from Dire Claw vs the Poison Touch anyways so it's not like it's really screwing me over when I need to put em to sleep

rustic mountain
#

i think its pretty easy to jus have a terrain setter like indeedee or rilla and slap that seed on it and get that immediate speed which seemingly all successful sneasler teams have 1 or the other atm. i think sash posion touch is an ok alternative but idk bout it doing enough before it goes down

#

unburden set has stuff designated to keep it alive and set it itself up whether thru sp def or def seed boost, follow me fake out support and a defensive tera. it just gives it more flexibility as a mon

#

outspeeding p much everything in tw is awesome

bold geode
#

It does
That's basically what a lot of people do
Hell rn Unburden has went back up, but it's went with like
Seed Unburden on a few and then quite a bit don't do setup and go all out offense with Sash Unburden which I fucking hate

rustic mountain
#

like idk theres so many benefits to unburden imo, its much more threatening. maybe not 1v1 but in general

bold geode
#

But no both are pretty viable cuz like with Poison Touch, there's some things rn that don't like to be set on a timer

rustic mountain
#

i think sash is more exploitable is all. sure that sounds good but id rather my sneasler jus pick up 1-2hkos after sding

#

idt sash is bad either but u originally said its the way to go and that is wat i disagree w/ most haha

bold geode
#

Plus I see a lot of Sneasler Dragapult with stuff like Rilla and redirection which like
If you have these things protecting Sneasler and Pult with Fake Out or Follow Me, you can also just attack

#

Fair

rustic mountain
molten oasis
#

usually yea lol

bold geode
#

Yeah it just depends on preference rn honestly

rustic mountain
#

i feel like part of its strength is its unburden activation on t1 is pressured if they lead pult and sneasler

#

idk i havent played w/ that team im liking the variation im using rn

#

prim def the least brought but its good wen i need it

bold geode
#

Like honestly I knew people when Sash Poison Touch was THE main set this Reg that liked Unburden more so like it's odd really
Hell Red hit me with a Volc that could outspeed Pult at +1 and I was like the weird fuck, but then someone I talked to was like "oh people are doing that" and I'm like what

rustic mountain
#

gta hunt one that isnt 0 speed cuz im not bottle capping the one i bred for

bold geode
#

Apparently rn Volc players are just trying to outspeed each other

rustic mountain
#

u want to be able to outspeed something like pult at +1 thats like a benchmark

#

nd idk idt ive seen much poison touch/sash sneasler, its def around but unburden has always felt much more common

bold geode
#

I just haven't fought that like literally once until Red did it lmao

bold geode
rustic mountain
#

jus from playing set up volc in the past ik that being one of the speed marks u wanted to hit cuz basically u outspeed pult at +1 u outspeed everything (barring tw and tr yada yada)

rustic mountain
#

i think they can matter but u gta really decide if the other things are worth as trade offs and for set up volc i jus dont see it past a certain point

#

then it defeats the purpose of being a set up guy haha

#

50ish games not terrible

torn parrot
#

If you don’t have anything for immediate procing of unburden then I understand the poison touch

#

Because it’s more consistent

#

But otherwise it’s like

Damn
Go faaaaaaast

rustic mountain
bold geode
#

Yeah everyone is saying Unburden now in other servers wtf

#

This shit basically flipped almost overnight for me tf happened

Though same time, they've said Poison Touch also valid so 🤷‍♂️

Baltimore is this weekend and it's time to preview the event! SierraDawn is joined by Joseph Ugarte and Brady Smith to talk about how the new invitations can change the outlook of the season, the meta going into the event, and make some predictions on what we think will happen (and which Pokemon are on fraud watch!)

I really can’t believe somebody beat me to winning a tournament with a mono bug team but I’m excited for them! They did what I couldn’t do and figured out the right bug to help with trick room teams, doggone venonat! hopefully that can inspire other trainers that there’s more to competitive battling than just building teams with the same ole meta mons

Like its ok

dull ibex

But yeah I think Chester's raw emotion can't be matched

chrome knot
#

no never

mighty stump
#

I was gonna say

dull ibex
#

But he was Also seriously seriously depressed

#

Maybe it's good she doesn't sound in pain like he did

mighty stump
#

Ny whole thing with LP was cause you can feel it

#

Sure

chrome knot
#

but the new girl holds the fort down okay

dull ibex
#

I don't think I can like her as much as Chester

mighty stump
#

But it also means I don’t think I can listen to them the same

I was kinda hoping

#

But it feels too off

#

Like

#

Oh

bold geode

Tofu what's Ori about

dull ibex
#

I have brand attachment so I'll give the album a go

Listening to new Emily sing LP feels like its “just music”

dull ibex
#

If I dont like it maybe it's not for me anymore

@mighty stump but are you proud of me? my first tournament and im rank 6 Sip

Balance is a conceptual playstyle

#

Good job on Top 8

Keep in mind Rank is a different term and meant more for ladder

@mighty stump are you working rn or

zinc totem
#

oh? i thoguht balance means that there is balance in defensive and offensive properties of team like balanced out not leaning into one way or other

dull ibex
mighty stump
#

Yes but it doesn’t necessarily mean having what you describe

#

It also extends playstyle wise

zinc totem
#

dont say its tyranitar incineroar gholdehengo one?

#

feels p2 trickrroom team to me

bold geode
#

See Tofu is explaining it way better than I am
Which is like
Why I don't do those posts I talked about

mighty stump
#

The whole point of Balance is to lean on strong defensive options that have utility to prevent any opposing momentum build-up while maintaining your own neutral board state to position for a board you can offensively punch through an opponent’s team

zinc totem
#

that dude i played against did excatly that

mighty stump
#

You defined it using the wrong Pokemon

#

its P2 Ursa

zinc totem
#

darn missed the shot

mighty stump
#

If you note another team lower down having the same P2 Ursa core

zinc totem
#

what it was in the screenshot? Hmmge

mighty stump
#

The one at 10th place was a Sneasler ver.

#

Balance is a skill-diff team

#

i still think unburden is better in most cases

civic isle
#

I have a genuine question about one of my pokemon's setups.

#

So I got an idea that I thought would be offensively evil.

Defiant ability, Defense up speed down nature, max SpD and max Def with the rest in Hp EVs, Metronome held item, Rage Fist Annihilape.

How... how is that offensively?

solid frigate
#

what.

solid frigate
dull ibex
#

Annihilape @ Metronome
Ability: Defiant
Level: 50
Tera Type: Fighting
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Def / 252 SpD
Relaxed Nature

  • Rage Fist
#

several things wrong with this

#

beat up is just better for rage fast offensively

#

if the joke is that its tanky, you get more benefit out of max hp

#

metronome is a bad item

civic isle
#

My thought process was

dull ibex
#

for max benefits you need 5 turns, vgc is far too fast for this

civic isle
#

Rage Fist gets stronger the moe hits it takes

Boosted defensive stats makes it eat hits easier

Metronome boosts attacks the more consecutively it's used

Defiant raisess attack 2 stages when any other stats are lowered

dull ibex
solid frigate
#

yeah but

Attack Stages are Scaled under Raw Attack Stat

dull ibex
#

your idea isnt very good

solid frigate
#

So basically normally you need +1 to kill something

you need +2 to OHKO

#

and it hard walled by Normal Types

dull ibex
#

there is so much more wrong with this

#

investing in both defenses to their max is literally never good

#

also what would the rest of the move set be?

#

how do you support this annihillape

solid frigate
#

Annihilape @ Leftovers
Ability: Defiant
Level: 50
Tera Type: Grass
EVs: 252 HP / 84 Atk / 12 Def / 52 SpD / 108 Spe
Adamant Nature

  • Drain Punch
  • Rage Fist
  • Bulk Up
  • Protect

Just use this if you want your Ape to be tanky and actually Outspeed something under TW

#

yes i still use Tera Grass

Hey, noob here with a potentially dumb question. I was curious about special defense and regular defense, and how to decide which is more important for a pokemon if I'm trying to optimize the stats? Obviously sometimes you'd wanna focus 2 other stats and ignore both, but say I want to EV train/nature a defensive stat, how do I know which one to pick? Should I base it on the moves from super effective types against my pokemon? And if I could be hit by either physical or special attacks equally often, do you think it's better to focus whichever one is lacking or to boost the higher one?

solid frigate
#

Usually HP is the Go to Stat for Bbulk

#

but Defense and Special Defense are like Bonus can be Optimised with the HP Stat

lament rain
#

I see I see, if you wanted to do both HP and a defensive stat how would you go about deciding between special/regular?

solid frigate
#

for Special Damage,Its the same but from Special Defense Stat
