Lol gg

[bold geode]

GG

[mighty stump]

I'm almost 100% certain that was unwinnable for you if you didn't get a sleep

[bold geode]

Yeah I genuinely got lucky AF there, I've never hit those odds

[mighty stump]

Like both times

LOL

o well

Do u wanna go again

[bold geode]

Yeah I had no idea that that Blast would just wipe Incin lmao

Fuck it

[mighty stump]

Watch the 16% x2 again

[chrome knot]

tofu loses to monke is he washed?

[mighty stump]

False I lost to RNG in the form of Monke

Bro pls

[bold geode]

WHAT IN THE FUCK

[mighty stump]

LOL

Someone needs to calc that

-calc 0.16x0.16x0.16

[gentle crag]

Result: 0.004096

[bold geode]

Bro I'm gonna be so fucked on RNG later

[mighty stump]

o well

[chrome knot]

cooked by 0.004%

[mighty stump]

ONE

[bold geode]

Bro I would've fucking died if it happened again

[mighty stump]

frfr

aw

gg

O

I lived

LOL

[bold geode]

Damn that was close

[mighty stump]

3 sleeps

[bold geode]

I called the Tink switch wrong
I knew it was coming, just messed up the slot it was going into

[mighty stump]

Tbf

If you had that switch

That could be worse for you since it put Incin in range

from Blitz

[bold geode]

Fair

[mighty stump]

But good game that was fun

Sneasler is a thing

[bold geode]

Yeah GG

[solid frigate]

time to bully someone with Miraidon in VC kek

[mighty stump]

What do you think of the team

Neat right

[bold geode]

Now watch as my luck goes down the fucking drain

[mighty stump]

LOL

[bold geode]

Oh it's sick
I didn't know what Compound Eyes does

[mighty stump]

Also ngl has Pult been working out for you cause the rest of the team seems alright

Dunno how i feel about it

[bold geode]

Gonna be a lot of Aw Dang Its coming from Dire Claw now boys

[mighty stump]

When Outrage didnt KO a neutral I was like "wow this mon sucks"

[mighty stump]

https://tenor.com/view/aventurine-star-rail-i-love-gambling-roulette-gif-15600735931808948001

[bold geode]

Me AF

[mighty stump]

Wish I got Aventurine

Btw can you check that Flare Blitz roll

I'm 4HP

[bold geode]

Yeah no Pult is aight
I think Jolly Pult might be a little better even though you miss out on some damage due to just well
Being faster

Um lemme
What were you at before

[solid frigate]

Same man-

Very good FUA+Sustain-

[mighty stump]

87

Wonder if that IH was a roll too

[bold geode]

87% to what percent?

[mighty stump]

Just gimme the damage roll

[bold geode]

Ah
Making sure, you just max HP or any more defense?

[mighty stump]

4 hp

lol

[bold geode]

Oh 4 EVs

[mighty stump]

yea

[bold geode]

44 Atk Incineroar Flare Blitz vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Kingambit: 138-164 (78.4 - 93.1%) -- 37.5% chance to OHKO
Roll

[mighty stump]

Oh favoured to me

Ig that pays the triple DClaw Sleep

[bold geode]

And then max Adamant right?

[mighty stump]

Yea

with LO

you were at 32 iirc

[bold geode]

You didn't have a Defiant boost right?

[mighty stump]

no

[bold geode]

252+ Atk Kingambit Iron Head vs. 252 HP / 108+ Def Incineroar: 34-41 (16.8 - 20.2%) -- possible 7HKO after Sitrus Berry recovery

[mighty stump]

LO

But probably not much difference

Close

[bold geode]

Yeah my Incin spread is a little weird but still surprised it does that much

[mighty stump]

lol

Dragonite deleted your Incin so fast

This stupid spider is so funny

New blog post time

[bold geode]

Lmao
I legit like calced only for like
Gallade Psycho Cut 3HKO after Ghost tera

Then Tera Flying Blast Dnite came back and now I'm like damn
Probably didn't get deleted without Screech drop

[mighty stump]

I am almost confident that Kingambit + Galvantula lead into Incin will KO Incin through resist

[bold geode]

Anyways on Pult, it's fine, Dragon Tera Dragon Darts was funny, I never clicked Outrage cuz I hate the move, my dumbass always forgets how it works
So that + Geezing coming back just put me back on Tera Steel Blast

[mighty stump]

Makes sense

[bold geode]

Basically funny thing Brady said
Basically if you CC and Force into a slot (have to Protect Sneasler T1 of course) then the slot just goes bye bye lmao

[mighty stump]

Then it's HIsuian Zoroark

LOL

[bold geode]

Then I cry

But also just U Turn + Moonblast into Indeedee just kills always and makes Psyspam a fuck ton easier

[mighty stump]

lol

[bold geode]

Though I think like
Salamence thing thru Justin Tang was also neat
Then I also fought Mika with fucking Ceruledge and I was like damn this thing is gas

[spiral ridge]

I did face a h zoruark with monkeys team

I kept saying “why the fuck is tatsugiri hyper voicing”
I didn’t realize til my own hyper voice sent it to sash

[mighty stump]

Most fun I had this Reg is staring at my team's type chart

It's so colourful

[spiral ridge]

Lmao

Lots of green is good

[mighty stump]

The x5 Rilla resist is so funny to me

[bold geode]

Also Tofu
I'm surprised you actually had that one convo in here earlier lol

[mighty stump]

What one convo

Oh

The actual information one

?

[bold geode]

Yeah
Surprising
Not that often you get to see it that much in depth and it see understanding lmao

[mighty stump]

You mean from the other party?

[bold geode]

Yeah
Usually more often of "oh hey you say this bad, now me angy"

[mighty stump]

Oh no we got that later down the line

Lol

[bold geode]

Yeah lmao
We got the full spectrum today

[mighty stump]

Lol

[bold geode]

Y'know actually me angy
Geezing hasn't hit cart ladder for me yet lol

[mighty stump]

Lucky you

Its on SD ladder

[foggy lodge]

Is that a website or did you do it yourself?

[mighty stump]

Marriland Teambuilder

[foggy lodge]

uhh i didn't know that existed, thanks

[bold geode]

Surprising it ain't on cart ladder even without that team
I figured someone would take it on there or at least try to like
Revise it

It's ok my plan is very simple

[mighty stump]

Lol

[bold geode]

It's called No Russian

[molten oasis]

How’d the matches go @bold geode

[molten oasis]

Why does brave bird from corv do 80% to my ninetales

[solid frigate]

Lemme join the VC and stay here I'm gonna eat rn

[fathom geyser]

I agreed to play at a local tomorrow but I have no idea or concept of the current meta, can someone give me a crash course on it?

Maybe I shouldn't have agreed to it, learning an entire meta and trying to build a acceptable team within a couple of hours is stupid-

[mighty stump]

Rental time

cowabunga

[solid frigate]

[fathom geyser]

I have massive skill issue when I play a team that I didn't put my mind to.

I could just take one to see what's going on though- Thanks

My start of my shift today is so easy lol

Which means weegeecee time

Adamant life orb garchomp is kinda awesome

https://pokepast.es/bba19ead00797bb8 I wanna add a flying type here, what are my options?

[bold geode]

@dull ibex can you kick me out VC?

It kicked me out and I need you to do so

You locked it bruh

[torn parrot]

There’s no way you just came back from that

[dull ibex]

its hilarious

[bold geode]

The VC is locked

[dull ibex]

new

[lusty gull]

Would Psychic Noise or Calm Mind fit best on Florges? Already has Wish/Protect/Moonblast

[torn parrot]

I wish it was a grass type

[lusty gull]

Grass/Fairy would go hard icl

Would actually be able to use its ability

[torn parrot]

Not sure how to run florges

It makes no sense

Symbiosis can work

[lusty gull]

I'm using it as more of a support I'd think, a wish passer

Psychic Noise makes sense to prevent heals but also Calm Mind for longevity

[torn parrot]

If you can fit it

[lusty gull]

Its got Flower Veil atm so I could run a grass type alongside it

[torn parrot]

What grass type

[lusty gull]

Thats the problem 🤣

[torn parrot]

Does flower veil work against haze

If it doesn’t then fuck that

[molten oasis]

Guys?

[lusty gull]

Talonflame mayhaps?

[molten oasis]

maybe

[lusty gull]

Fire coverage too and gale wings for flying prio

[molten oasis]

Talonfoame, could also go dnite

What evs does dnite run lol

[torn parrot]

We’ve been here so many times

Look I played with what Emma sent me today and I was like “yo LORB eq kinda crazy”

So uh, now I’m back to square 3 lol

But also teams change a lot

(And admittedly I think clam chomp is kinda mid)

[torn parrot]

Talon flame seems like the perfect fit

[molten oasis]

alr

[torn parrot]

And then the last one is very open

[molten oasis]

https://pokepast.es/d819cb1a40f295c6 now what lol

hm

Well, the psyspam mu is uh, smth

[torn parrot]

I did notice that it’s true

I have an unconventional choice

[molten oasis]

[torn parrot]

Assualt vest hisuian samurott

With snarl over scared sword

[craggy dagger]

[torn parrot]

Honestly its stats are pretty good with av ngl

Didn’t realize that when I said it

[craggy dagger]

i’ve been running av on that thing for a while

[solid frigate]

Soak Pelipper.

SOAK PELIPPER

[dull ibex]

@mighty stump if you didnt fall asleep feel free to rejoin we heard some noises that sound like snoring

[solid frigate]

ah yes

Snor Lax

[fathom geyser]

https://pokepast.es/6a97158cedf0b1e6

I cannot think of a sixth slot aside from palafin but I want more dimensions to the team other than unga bunga me hit hard

[foggy lodge]

is that a no Archaludon rain team

[fathom geyser]

Wait I completely forgot that thing existed.

Thanks for the sixth slot lmao

[foggy lodge]

why Politoed over Pelipper

Haze?

[molten oasis]

?

I mean its worth giving it a shot

Still confuses me a little bit

[molten oasis]

HAHAHA

[fathom geyser]

What's the quickest way to get rid of Tyranitar

[molten oasis]

A punch to the face

[solid frigate]

no literally

just punch em

[fathom geyser]

Bullet punch?

[foggy lodge]

Body press Archaludon lol

[torn parrot]

You just have to hit it really hard

[forest arrow]

Anyone using P2 Ursa stuff

[dapper crag]

Hey any of u got an milotic to Trade of gladly trade 2 shinys

[forest arrow]

This is not the place to ask for trades, We have trade channels

[dapper crag]

Sorryyyy

[forest arrow]

All good, just a heads up

[dapper crag]

Just joinen and i Didnt quiet know and the ppl there Seem Not to be online sorry for the intrudion

[molten oasis]

Imo no sucker punch

For the hamu

Cuz it’s gonna hit like a wet noodle

It’s attack stat is not great lol

[torn parrot]

Sure that’s cool

you have tailwind anyways

[molten oasis]

Mhmm

[fathom geyser]

What item should I even use in place of scarf

[foggy lodge]

are you playing scarf Archaludon

[fathom geyser]

Yeah because it's the first thing that came to mind lol

[foggy lodge]

AV ideally

[fathom geyser]

Fair, what should I give samurott instead then?

[foggy lodge]

Mystic water should work fine but honestly i wouldn't play Samurott in the first place

[fathom geyser]

What could I use instead? I die immediately to tr, I can't think of anything worth while.

[torn parrot]

Scope lens could be cool

50% chance to crit on night slash and aqua cutter

🐇

[foggy lodge]

i hate my Salamence

I failed a crucial draco meteor that would have killed Amoonguss and then gambit kills Dragonite with kowtow and Gambit cleans up the Garchomp and P2 that was in the back

[molten oasis]

Alrighty time to calc an av hamurott

That may sit on my team for like 6 games

[fathom geyser]

https://pokepast.es/a5ec778b3f2610b2

Do you guys have any recommendations or anything? This is my last check before I just start calcing.

Can anyone give any advice for this sunflora sun team which I made to take in the beginning of the ladder for fun last time I asked for help earlier today I was just told to use a rental team and that my team was awful

[torn parrot]

I don’t like your sunflora set

Give it weather ball and protect instead of sunny day and trailblaze

And earth power over one of your grass moves

Or encore

encore is good too

[wild lodge]

Idk where trailblaze came from i must of miss clicked ty

[fathom geyser]

How do that

Without a printer

[next stump]

you can sometimes email the organizer a teamsheet as a PDF

otherwise without a printer you’ll need to hope the store has blank copies when you get there, but arrive early so you have time

[molten oasis]

Sure but like

I want sacred sword for coversge

[molten oasis]

Probably soon

I’m finishing up work shortly

[little plank]

There any dozo teams so far doing well?

Feel like haze and clear smog being on basically every team kills it lol

[molten oasis]

Uh yea, cuz people don’t wanna fight dozo lol

[patent marsh]

Oof gg

It's going to be a tough battle for Pocketpair

Japan is very pro copyright protection

[molten oasis]

https://pokepast.es/af64a6fdec0965b5 does this team look like hyper offense or balance

[dull ibex]

It's not a copyright battle

It's a lawsuit over patent infringement

[patent marsh]

Oh ye

Patent infringement but still same outlook

Japan doesn't like any >illegal use of people's properties in general

I'm assuming they're going to bring up the funny green cinderace, luxray and Cobalion clone

[molten oasis]

:/

[patent marsh]

Microsoft could help since they're joint developing Palworld with Pocketpair

But it's going to be a tough battle regardless since it's in japanese court where the plaintiff almost always wins

[clever root]

Go to masterball with this squad

All shiny hunted by me aswell and trained

[molten oasis]

I love misclicks

[molten oasis]

???

[dull ibex]

Wut lmao

[molten oasis]

Tf lol

[clever root]

I don't got the pokepaste link since i'm in bed but i got a ss of the paste

Metagross can tank a +6 bodypress from an archaludon

[patent marsh]

Offense

[molten oasis]

Time to redo the team

Thanks talonfoame for making my shit look like hyper offense when I just wanted a Mon to click earthquake with

[clever root]

Fun fact: so many people rq over special mence

[patent marsh]

I mean it's good wcyd

[molten oasis]

Idc man, I don’t play hyper offense

I play dengo balance, I’m dropping talon

[rustic mountain]

took em long enough

[dull ibex]

Fr

[clever root]

May i suggest palafin or basculeigon over samurott, samurott just doesnt cut it

[molten oasis]

i dont have a psyspam mu without it and i havent tried it and i think on paper its okay

well the psyspam mu is easier with it

palafin sucks lol

[clever root]

kingambit is calling you like green goblin's mask

https://tenor.com/view/green-goblin-gif-14141276552966470862

[molten oasis]

isnt good into torkoal and i dont want 4 fire weaknesses

[rustic mountain]

nah i wouldnt say sucks, its just not as strong as ppl thought . the 1 turn switch is a lot more of a momentum sucker now then it was prior

[molten oasis]

on this team, i dont think its correct

[rustic mountain]

nah it isnt

i was speaking in general

[molten oasis]

ik ik

just kinda throwing it out there, and im looking at other flying types to play with

cuz apparently talonflame makes this team HO

[rustic mountain]

oh shit gc starts 2mw i gta build my team tn

havent played in like a week lmfao

[molten oasis]

lol

good luck, hope you find something

[rustic mountain]

i got the team

[bold geode]

So they're finally going along with that?

[rustic mountain]

jus need to do the evs and teras/moves

[dull ibex]

Apparently yeah

[molten oasis]

fair enough

[rustic mountain]

u doin the gc?

[rustic mountain]

they have more then enough grounds to

[bold geode]

Sí Señor

[rustic mountain]

prolly jus did their due diligence

[clever root]

I just love the bulldoze into weakness policy iron head into psyspam

[rustic mountain]

wats the team

[bold geode]

Yeah it was just pulling the trigger tbh
Although tbf, Palworld basically fucking died off anyways so did they really need to

[bold geode]

Sneasler Pult shit

[rustic mountain]

cool

[molten oasis]

https://pokepast.es/56403935a5387f68 if i drop talon is there something that looks good here, that doesn’t make the team hyper offense

Cuz that’s not my goal I wanted balance

May just have to spam protect for garchomp to click eq lol

[torn parrot]

I mean did you try it first

Who cares how it looks

[molten oasis]

...

its like, i feed into it being HO and just make dengo specs or just, replace the talonflame but ill play it and see ig

[torn parrot]

Arighty

[bold geode]

Like they suing the fuckin thing AFTER it basically went to irrelevancy

[rustic mountain]

try harc idk

[dull ibex]

Palworld actually has like 25k players still

[bold geode]

Like I honestly forgot Palworld existed

[clever root]

kilowattrel with discharge tailwind air slash protect

[dull ibex]

Its not irrelevant yet

[bold geode]

It's still popular?

[clever root]

Works rly well with ur garchom

[dull ibex]

Yes.

Not being in the news doesn't equal not popuslr

[bold geode]

I haven't seen
A fuckin thing about Palworld like at all for a while now

[rustic mountain]

its weird cuz like jus use paul chuas team haha idk y u gta try and reinvent the wheel wen ur basically jus building something thats relatively similar. feel uve done that a few times this format

[molten oasis]

...

[dull ibex]

Yes because mainstream only. Covers new stuff

[molten oasis]

wanted to play dengo a9, guess not

[bold geode]

I'm gonna reinvent the meta, Infernape time

[rustic mountain]

lets get it

[dull ibex]

Can't wait to beat it

[rustic mountain]

infernape will shine someday

[bold geode]

Red don't make me bust out that one Garganacl

Covert Cloak Explosion Garganacl

[rustic mountain]

then try pauls team with dengo over dnite or gambit

[dull ibex]

Go ahead

[molten oasis]

nah

[dull ibex]

It wouldn't be hard to counter it at worst game two

[bold geode]

Me whipping out Gastrodon again like

[molten oasis]

idt replacing gambit on that team is a good idea, or dnite

[dull ibex]

Go ahead

[molten oasis]

i dont wanna try its not gonna feel better than the thing that took second

[dull ibex]

I don't play that team anymore lmao

[bold geode]

Y'know what Red

Your grandma

[dull ibex]

No u

[bold geode]

Yeah I did do it

[dull ibex]

Did do what

[bold geode]

Dw bout it

[dull ibex]

Mods ban him

[clever root]

Tera normal normal gem belly drum explosion snorlax helping hand boost

[rustic mountain]

fair enough but i think thats wat im trynna get it. ur prolly gna wind up w/ something worse cause of the mon selection being so similar and if ur not willing to slot out different mons on it, then how will u know if a better version even exists

[bold geode]

Mods show me his battle bucket

[rustic mountain]

u see how convoluted ur process is haha

[bold geode]

The way my brain is convoluted to see the constitution in the institution in the misconstrusion and bars bitch, calm down Dr Seuss

[molten oasis]

:/

[bold geode]

Yeah bitch
Gorilla Gorilla Gorilla

[molten oasis]

i cant argue with that ig

[rustic mountain]

im only trynna help its just hard the way u constrict ur options in a sense

[molten oasis]

i dont really like copying teams that much, it feels better to get something working without copying another persons teams

i know its completely fine

[rustic mountain]

i love copying teams give me that sauce 🫴

[molten oasis]

its generally just personal preference, i like making my own teams, i'll take ideas like the sash a9

[torn parrot]

Is that Harry Potter

[rustic mountain]

yea but u gta be able to recognize wen ur going down a route thats basically the same as someone elses and gauge how to navigate from there. otherwise u jus wind up w/ sub par versions especially if u arent willing to mess around with the core itself to even see if improvements can be made. if u wind up changing enough it almost becomes ur team anyway. look at pat conners, he took 5/6 of a team and replaced 1 mon and ppl started calling it the patcon6

[patent marsh]

this image just too funny

[spiral ridge]

Yes

[clever root]

Run a special attacking supreme overlord choice specs kingambit

Nobody will see it coming

[spiral ridge]

For what 😭

[bold geode]

Yes it's Radcliffe

[rustic mountain]

and even less players are boyt lvl where they come up with the craziest stuff that really only seems to work for them as effectively. but u need to reach a certain point of skill and understanding to actually do that

[torn parrot]

Aha

[rustic mountain]

not even to discourage ppl but i think a lot of players try and teambuild before they really should

[torn parrot]

I agree

[rustic mountain]

i wouldve improved a lot faster if i figured that out sooner wen i started

[torn parrot]

I think a lot of new players would be better off stealing a team to learn the game

Rather than going through the whole process of “my favorite Pokémon, oh I got destroyed, I’m miserable”

[rustic mountain]

yea i remember thinking i was gna break the meta coming in and wen u really understand things better u realize jus how hard that is to do

[molten oasis]

great lost to sub ape

thats a new one

[rustic mountain]

im like why is nobody using beeheeyem its got great sp atk stat and its like ok and? haha like i got mball w/ it but i was barely hovering 50% wr. its like sure i made it work in 1 sense but if im actually trynna get better and win consistently is this how i wanna do it? nd my answer was no. took me a bit longer to get there tho lol

[molten oasis]

i get what everyones saying

[foggy lodge]

yeh

[molten oasis]

definitely feel discouraged cuz i now feel like im a way lower skill level

[torn parrot]

Oh I wasn’t really talking about you specifically just adding on to the statement

[foggy lodge]

I still don't create my own teams i mostly use other teams and change some things that i think could work for my style

also i feel so bad at teambuilding at this reg lol

[molten oasis]

it was still due to me being stupid about building teams

[foggy lodge]

is like in reg G and F i actually built decent teams and now i can't create anything

[molten oasis]

so it feels kinda directed towards me, not that it was intended to be

[rustic mountain]

i jus think itd do u some good to focus for a bit on jus playing well and using good mons and teams. i feel the overfixation on the teambuilding aspect is hindering ur ability to actually improve at this moment in time. its not to say u cant get there im not saying to abandon wanting to teambuild completely.
and i was there before like i was showcasing my own experience to say like i get it in a way where ur coming from. it wasnt to call u out for being low skill lvl or anything like that cause i dont think thats necessarily the case but its just u have to be just that good to be a great teambuilder.

these are obviously also suggestions u go about it how u want

[molten oasis]

...ig

[spiral ridge]

WHAT YOU BRINGING GASTEO FOR

ANSWER for my own dumb curiosity thanks!!

[molten oasis]

it probably help, also feels like such a major step back

[rustic mountain]

i dont think it would be

i think itd actually be a step forward even if it feels ur taking a step back

once u understand better why teams are good, whats common etc u are more informed in ur teambuilding decisions. and ur skill expression is able to take more form because u actually see things in a way u didnt before

cause playing vs stuff w/ subpar teams does not give u the best representation of what u really need to be doing. u jus tunnel vision on how to improve wat ur workin on at the moment w/ little direction on how u achieve that which is what i feel has been the case for a bit now with u

hence the suggestions

[molten oasis]

the hamurott doesn't even feel that bad lol, thats fair

[torn parrot]

Ayo!

I stole a really cool ceruledge team that did really well a few days ago and I was like “wow this feels so good this is like a whole different world of options”

[bold geode]

Um cuz it fucked up Red
Ain't that right @dull ibex

[molten oasis]

k, i

[torn parrot]

And the funny thing is it had 4 ground weaknesses which just like broke everything that I thought was right

[rustic mountain]

u have solid gut instincts on some things like zacian top cut worlds. a9 got 2nd at baltimore but ur understanding and skill have to catch up to that first for u to be able to put the pieces together effectively

[dull ibex]

he yawn spammed me once and it was annoying

[spiral ridge]

Lmao

Nice

[dull ibex]

its okay ive since taken a few sets

[molten oasis]

wasn't expecting that comment lol, but i think thats fair

that'll take a while but its for the sake of improvement

[dull ibex]

ask monke about my dire claw

[rustic mountain]

exactly, and jus enjoy the ride. it could be sooner then u think

[molten oasis]

no, cuz i already know monke's luck with opposing dire claw luck is ass

[dull ibex]

2 sleeps 🙂

[molten oasis]

lmfao

i'll put this team i have on hold ig, which, the hamurott was working lol

it won me a few games

[rustic mountain]

like i said drago those are suggestions if u wanna keep playing the team go for it

[molten oasis]

went 6-1 which is solid, but still i should put it asside and focus on good stuffs, no i think you're right

idk how to make the things i keep calling out being good anti meta work well

the zacian stuff i had was also more after zacian started popping up in tournaments, same with a9

[bold geode]

Ask Monke about his dad, he's gone

[rustic mountain]

maybe zacian but i thought u were on a9 pretty early maybe i misremembered

[molten oasis]

i was

but the call for no veil was paul's

[dull ibex]

so many messed up jokes

[rustic mountain]

yea thats a hard call to make but it wound up being like almost perfect haha

[molten oasis]

i had encore which i thought was a strong tool on it

[bold geode]

You think I care

[molten oasis]

and freeze dry was good into peli, weather control too

[rustic mountain]

yea jus general good coverage and disruption

[molten oasis]

veil is not it

too much weather control

[dull ibex]

no but not making them here

[bold geode]

Ugh some of my emotes are gone now
Imma dip for a bit, lil irritated about something rn

[rustic mountain]

it seems too exploitable and ud much rather click one of those other moves to be more pro active

[molten oasis]

in restricted a9 just kinda sucks but maybe sash a9 could work then (cope)

[torn parrot]

My friend been playing sash
It feels really good since it explodes to everything

[rustic mountain]

if u wanna use a9 and are gna use good stuffs rn anyway why not try pauls team?

[molten oasis]

i'll play around with dengo goodstuffs i think, just avoid the niche stuff for now

[rustic mountain]

least u can play it while its good in that case

cause that mons gna be mid in reg g 2.0

[molten oasis]

im probably gonna look into p2 ursa

[rustic mountain]

that team seems very strong

[molten oasis]

always was lmfao

p2 ursa has been running incin amoonguss dengo a lot, which is, roughly what im after

or just go incin amoonguss dengo and go from there

[rustic mountain]

yea dengo is on like every p2 ursa variant rn

[molten oasis]

dengo's goated lol

https://tenor.com/view/gholdengo-pokemon-gimmighoul-make-it-rain-money-gif-12470423994579344962

[rustic mountain]

one of the highest represented mons in top cut

[molten oasis]

dengo is kinda the only reason im enjoying the format, and a9

[rustic mountain]

dengos fun i havent played it like all month tho lol

[molten oasis]

i still think a9 dengo can work, maybe dengo over gambit can work on pauls team but eh

gambit does a good job on that team too

[rustic mountain]

yea

[lusty night]

Gold is crazy

[rustic mountain]

gna help vs those psy spam teams and offsetting intimidates for chomp and dnite

[molten oasis]

dengo helps with psyspam sorta as well tbh

hatt psyspam kinda hates dengo

[torn parrot]

My favorite way to play dengo is playing him like a dumbass

[rustic mountain]

which means

[molten oasis]

ARMA psyspam, is smth else

[torn parrot]

Explode

[molten oasis]

so tera steel MIR specs

[torn parrot]

Yes

But I see the value in nasty plot

esp against trick room leads

[rustic mountain]

i think both are very good and the reason why dengo is arguably the best mon in the format

[molten oasis]

straight up dengo seems fine on paul's team

incin amoonguss supports it

[rustic mountain]

that they do

[molten oasis]

chomp/a9 protect it

i think the team seems to operate on not a set up mode tho, but seems balancey

[rustic mountain]

def is a more balance based team

[molten oasis]

i'll try dengo, i think arma psyspam should be okay theres an incin

as you said could be a better variant, team lacks special attackers

the multiscale dnite still throws me off

what would you wanna outspeed with the dnite? or do you just go max hp max attack

[rustic mountain]

dnite seemed like a big part of pauls gameplan for his stream games

[molten oasis]

i think it was, tera flying tera blast chunks

[rustic mountain]

flying coverage is jus few and far between yea

if ur multiscale id try going more bulk tbh

[molten oasis]

max hp max attack for now ig

idk waht it would need to outspeed tbh

[rustic mountain]

not sure on speed if u need certain benchmarks u need to hit u can jus adjust as u go

[molten oasis]

yea

https://pokepast.es/0333bf4b250a9a3e i hope dengo works lol

[lusty night]

I’m gonna be honest dragonite is so annoying like it’s so good at the one thing it does

[rustic mountain]

id assume ud want a little bit of speed but not quite sure wat ud want to outspeed, maybe like hit 128-130 range to outspeed a lot of middling speed stuff

[molten oasis]

cool lol

thats a lot of investment, but yea

(dnite starts at 100 speed)

Dragonite @ Lum Berry
Ability: Multiscale
Level: 50
Tera Type: Flying
EVs: 124 HP / 156 Atk / 228 Spe
Adamant Nature

• Tera Blast
• Extreme Speed
• Low Kick
• Protect

[lusty night]

That works

[molten oasis]

think i'll train this for gc ingame and play it there

[lusty night]

I didn’t even know dnite learned low kick lol

[molten oasis]

Dnite has a fat movepool

[torn parrot]

Pretty rad

[molten oasis]

Anyway turtle card box time

[mighty stump]

any hits

[molten oasis]

I’ll send if I get any hits

First pack had a ace spec lmao

Nothing crazy, the stellar cards are pretty tho

I opened a booster box for scarlet and violet a few weeks ago and got a few great pulls tho

So, my luck probably went there

This came with the box

I’m buying a booster box when I have money, there’s a Hydrapple secret art I need it

[deep coyote]

Hey everyone I was hoping to find someone with the know how and patience too teach a noob the ins and outs of pvp? If anyone is interested in helping me I will be very appreciative 🙂

[mighty stump]

Beginner resources are available in the pins.

Are you interested in doubles or singles?

[deep coyote]

In all honesty I'm more interested in singles but I see that the preferred battle mode is doubles so I'm leaning towards learning that the most. I'm sort of looking for a coach too assist me. I know how to breed and ev train I just don't exactly know where to start with pvp because it's so complex and there are so many strategies and different moves. It's quite overwhelming

[mighty stump]

Lucky for you, you can streamline the initial learning by simply using an established team.

[torn parrot]

After playing doubles I can never go back to singles

[molten oasis]

after playing doubles i refuse to play singles

[mighty stump]

This means you can wholly focus on just learning what the game is like, and how things work

So yeah, I do recommend the pinned resources

Then if you have any questions, you can always ask here.

[deep coyote]

I'll have a look 🙂 thankyou. I do have one question while you are here.

[mighty stump]

Fire away.

[deep coyote]

I was playing pvp before and I have a level 100 sceptile that has a nature that boosts its speed and I ev trained it to the max but was going 2nd too a tatsugiri or whatever it's called. How is that possible?

[mighty stump]

It's either something to do with your IVs, and/or that Tatsugiri probably was holding Choice Scarf

[strange fjord]

Choice Scarf?

[mighty stump]

Which is an item that boosts Spe of the holder by 1.5x

[deep coyote]

before the battle started i didnt see my opponents pokemon holding any items. is that hidden from me so players dont know opponents strats?

[shadow wind]

Yeah

[mighty stump]

You cannot know what the opponent's items are in Ranked queue

[deep coyote]

i was playing casual?

[shadow wind]

Doesn't matter

[deep coyote]

ohh

that makes sense

[mighty stump]

Same thing.

[shadow wind]

Urshifu forms are also hidden

As well as Gen 8 dogs

[torn parrot]

In my head my brain told me your pfp was the Microsoft XP background

[shadow wind]

😔

Have you thought that this entire time?

[torn parrot]

It only happens sometimes but then I realize there’s two people there

and a tree

And it’s a drawing

[deep coyote]

my sceptile is as follows

timid nature i split evs for sp attack and hp but maxed its speed. stats are hp 312 attack 185 defense 166 speed 372 sp def 206 and sp attack is 279

[shadow wind]

I thought those stats were crazy for a second then remembered level 100

[deep coyote]

is what i did bad

[shadow wind]

It's more than a drawing 😔

It's only the ending to the greatest game of all time

[mighty stump]

Ranked is played at level 50. Plus, the base stats come into play. It's more important to talk about the EVs invested rather than the final stat number

Investments are done with purpose.

EV investing isn't going to make or break your team if done generally correct, but there are right/wrong ways

[torn parrot]

Try planning your stats on the website showdown

[mighty stump]

For example: you need to understand what role your Pokemon is going to be performing to better inform what stats you'll be investing in

[deep coyote]

i went 126 hp 126 sp attack and 252 in speed

[mighty stump]

This sort of thing is also gone through in VGC guide

So I recommend reading the pins first

https://www.vgcguide.com/eving-1-how-to-make-simple-ev-spreads start here for EVs specifically.

[deep coyote]

thankyou i will read through it now

[gentle crag]

sparasic. has given 1 Gen Rep to woodtofu

[deep coyote]

is it ok if i dm you after for further assistance. if not its ok.

[shadow wind]

I find it funny how complicated ev spreads look until you realize they usually just hit a jump point and used a calculator for the defensive parts

[mighty stump]

You can ping me here

[deep coyote]

sure ill be in my personal

[deep coyote]

for some reason i cant share my screenshot. not important though. does everyone use Pikalytics?

[torn parrot]

Damn how many notifications you got

[torn parrot]

I use Munchstats and porydex and labmaus

[mighty stump]

Pikalytics, Labmaus, Munchstats

[deep coyote]

https://pycosites.com/pkmn/stat.php is it better then this

[mighty stump]

Probably

Lol

[deep coyote]

alright ill research some more stuff and when i have some questions ill post here. thanks everyone

[torn parrot]

Is what better?

That’s an ev calculator

[deep coyote]

what are the other ones?

arent they the same thing lol

[strange fjord]

Nah, MunchStats da best truuust. (also thats just an EV calculator. MunchStats and Pikalytics shows usage Statistics for popular Pokemon. LabMaus shows tournament results and usage)

[mighty stump]

For EV calcs.

https://nerd-of-now.github.io/NCP-VGC-Damage-Calculator/

[strange fjord]

different tools for different things. look around and see what could be helpful to you

[deep coyote]

ill have a look 🙂

[strange fjord]

you can also ask if you have any questions

[deep coyote]

i just dont know how to use these sites lmao

im very new to playing pokemon

[strange fjord]

Do you know what EVs are?

[torn parrot]

I hate Sam witwicky

[deep coyote]

Yeah I know all about ivs and evs

I said earlier in the chat what stumps me in a way is how much strats and different moves there are

I'm hearing every pokemon needs a role on the team

And they need to work in sync with each other

[strange fjord]

MunchStats is a website that shows you how often a Pokemon is used on a team. It also shows you how often an item, move or ability is used on a Pokemon.

It also shows common EV spreads that a Pokemon has.

Pikalytic has this too. MunchStats also the EVs usage broken down into Categories and Tera data as well.

The data updates once a month

LabMaus can show you the top teams that are performing well in tournaments. Along with a link to the examples of the team's moves, items, abilities and Tera types that performed well using the selection of Pokemon

You can look for a specific Pokemon usage and trends for tournament usage

The Nerd of Now Damage Calculator lets you input your Pokemon's EVs and Nature and the opposing Pokemon EVs and nature to see how much damage a Pokemon would do.

You can add items, field effects and stat boosts to have an idea of how much damage you should expect your Pokemon to do

Any questions?

[mighty stump]

What's a Pokemon

[strange fjord]

idk, some kind of monster that can be kept in your pocket i think

[mighty stump]

Haha pocket monster

[strange fjord]

too long, should be shortened to something like pockster

[deep coyote]

tysm for all that. its what i was looking for. an in depth answer and assistance. if you have time one day we should have a battle so you can see if my pokemon are any good. i only have 4 battle ready pokemon im in the process of making more

[molten oasis]

mm yes people in low ladder and their love for stall

[real prairie]

👀

[solid frigate]

yep they are still smogonn pilled

[deep coyote]

What exactly is stall?

[real prairie]

things like Poison, Salt Cure, Leech seed

slow chip damage with bulky mons to hang around

works better in a Solos format

[solid frigate]

also kills the Vibe of Doubles

[deep coyote]

I had a person keep using encore and leech seed. Problem what I'm a noob and I started with sword dance. Then I got stuck 😢

[real prairie]

Was it reg C with the ridiculously bulky treasure of ruin, that was AWFUL to play. so unenjoyable

[solid frigate]

thats why Urshifu is good in terms of that

It beats Most Stalls

so thats why Reg D is good

in terms of beat stall

[real prairie]

yeah, Wo-Chien, Leeech seed, ingrain, Leftovers, Grassy Terrain, Giga drain made me want to do violent things

[solid frigate]

Wo-Chien Does not do that?

at least only Lefties Leech Seed

usually they run Ruination/Foul Play,Protect and Pollen puff

[real prairie]

oh yeah they wouldnt set up Terrain themselves.

but the combination of all of it is hell

Ruination is a must

[solid frigate]

you have to be VERY specfic for this to happen so would not recommend

[real prairie]

oh yeah, its not that viable, especially now

[solid frigate]

Foul Play is fine in Reg G

[real prairie]

its just attrocious if you get caught in it

[real prairie]

I meant for people wanting to run stall

im more of a Jeremy Clarkson type of VGC player 🤣

[solid frigate]

this guy exists

[real prairie]

Didn't in Reg C lol

[solid frigate]

not to mention Reg G stall does not fucking work when damage output is nuts

[solid frigate]

its a long gone format i wouldn't care about it

plus top players would not run Full stall

[real prairie]

No i know, but someone asked what Stall is, and i was reminising of how painful stall reg C was

[knotty mirage]

I have question is there any other mon that have fire / water typing that's not volcanion ?

[mighty stump]

Why do you need one

[knotty mirage]

Just wondering because having water / fire as defensive mon seem's really neat

[mighty stump]

Well unless you find a way to get Volcanion legal

Lol

[knotty mirage]

No i'm actually asking is volcanion the only fire / water mon or is there other mon that have that typing too

The problem with volcanion it's mythical which cannot be used on any reg untill when the games is at end of life span

[mighty stump]

I know what you're asking, I answered indirectly

Direct answer: No

[knotty mirage]

Oh damn

I mean i do have volcanion from the swsh event but currently it on the box collecting dust

[deep coyote]

Is bottle capping mons what most people do or do they breed for iv ?

[mighty stump]

either works. I just bottle cap especially if I shiny hunt.

[deep coyote]

I have a few nice shinies that I bred. My favourite is my charmander. Haven't used him yet though

Could bottle cap and evolve him he's got 5 best ivs

[real prairie]

is there much priority spam usage in reg H, feels like its dropped off the face of the earth

[real prairie]

depends on your visual preferences, some people are purists and prefer to see "Perfect" than "hyper trained"

[deep coyote]

I love seeing all best

[real prairie]

sorry yes, "best"

[deep coyote]

I love having the perfect pokemon stats wise even if i don't use the stat. I love seeing best

[real prairie]

Can you tell im a bottle capper 🤣

[deep coyote]

😂😂

What's the chances of me breeding a shiny 6 iv pokemon

Closest I got was very good 😢

[real prairie]

not impossible, but grindy.

need to use 6iv Shiny Ditto (from another regioun) holding a destiny knot, 6iv pokemon of choice with the correct nature holding an everstone

#shiny_hunters can probably help more

[deep coyote]

Thanks I'll check it out 😎😁

[gentle crag]

What?

Oh my bad, didn’t see what you replied to

[ebon depot]

does hyper training mean raising a pokemon from bad stats to amazing stats or does that mean maxing the stats a pokemon with bad stats can ever achieve?

[real prairie]

Ivs are random between 1-31 when the mon is generated, Hypertraining maxes these out at 31

[molten oasis]

But you see I can get more than just the Hydrapple from the box

[chrome knot]

“can”

OR you CAN get $150 worth of bulk lmao

[molten oasis]

Fair enough lol

[chrome knot]

you have to hit a combination of all the chases to make money back on it

or 1 sir terapagos

[junior patrol]

I lowkey wanna use a Sand Team with Lycanroc but need a bit of help building it

[molten oasis]

That’s fair, anyway

I know primarina is frail defensively but I didn’t think I would have to ev to not get two shot by a raw stomping tantrum with no life orb

Garchomp strong

[molten oasis]

Lmfao

Yea prime’s physical bulk is so ass

Prima*

I love auto correct

[mighty stump]

I should go lock in my GC team if I can even register

[real prairie]

oh is that this weekend?

[molten oasis]

I can’t wait for bo1 cheese lol

[mighty stump]

Im probably about to get cheesed very hard with 0 dozo MU but o well

[molten oasis]

I still have to train up my team, and evolve my ghimmighoul

[torn parrot]

Is there anything you can do at all

[chrome knot]

i have the most fun dozo mu check

[mighty stump]

idrc

LOL

[molten oasis]

I have amoonguss

[real prairie]

I am in no position on cart to play, whens registration deadline? might be a 5am grind to get a team ready 🤣

[mighty stump]

Amogus when Tera Blast Fly

[molten oasis]

[torn parrot]

😔

[chrome knot]

in 7:30 hours

[mighty stump]

at leat our GXE is sitting at 72% so that's something...

[real prairie]

Ooooff

[molten oasis]

I’ve been climbing with chomp a9 dengo amoonguss, feels solid

Rn I just have incin and dnite, effectively replacing the gambit on Paul’s team

[torn parrot]

How’s games been going

[molten oasis]

Haven’t brought dnite once

The other 5 feel good

[torn parrot]

I can’t play gc because iv never felt good after playing gc

[mighty stump]

doubt i even have the time

[torn parrot]

Sweeeet

[mighty stump]

Im working friday/saturday and last thing i wanna do is bust out 15 games of CTS

[molten oasis]

Lmfao

[mighty stump]

But its not bad

[molten oasis]

idk if I’m keeping the dnite tbh, I get its role on the team im just kinda not feeling it

Is it that team you showed the other day

[mighty stump]

Yea p much

[molten oasis]

Nice

[mighty stump]

Its neat and I don't have to think too hard

[molten oasis]

Cool mons too

[mighty stump]

So on a new alt and thought to just casually play it out

Probably will take it out to Bo3 down the line and refine it since now I have proof of concept

[molten oasis]

Nice

Taking tree’s advice rn, playing pre established teams/good stuffs rn to get a better understanding of the game

[mighty stump]

Sounds lame and sensible

[molten oasis]

Tofu

[mighty stump]

Wat

[molten oasis]

Yk I’ve been struggling to get shit working lol

I agree it’s lame but I want to improve

[mighty stump]

Drago

Do you genuinely believe I think it's lame

[molten oasis]

No lol

[mighty stump]

The same mantra I preach to new players like I'm reciting a bible ☠️

I'm excited about a new toothbrush

[molten oasis]

[mighty stump]

What has my life come to

[molten oasis]

The little things in life are exciting I suppose

[torn parrot]

Woo!!!

Nice win loss

[molten oasis]

Tofu is good at game

[mighty stump]

The 6

[torn parrot]

D: it’s my baby

[molten oasis]

Oh shit my elo is lit too

[mighty stump]

1616/60

[silk stream]

is ur dnite running tailwind then? with electric spider slowing opponents down. Letting usra/tink sweep

[mighty stump]

Nope

[silk stream]

ooh?

[mighty stump]

Spider does slow down the opps

[mighty stump]

no TW though

[mighty stump]

I had the concept with Mence initially with TW

[torn parrot]

That’s awesome, I’m glad it’s been feeling good

[mighty stump]

Was meh about it

[mighty stump]

An improvement indeed

The Galvantula team felt v clunky to start since I had to figure out the correct last 2 slots

Unironically I could probably place Dozogiri and it would probably be

Good

[molten oasis]

I’m just glad something’s working this reg

[mighty stump]

I'm just pleased to actually have a team I like

Playing the standard crap and climbing is like, meh

Cause I've just been defaulting to P2 balance and then decided I'm gonna go on a break

[molten oasis]

The standard stuff doesn’t feel very fun to play I won’t lie

I played p2 Ursa stuff a little, it’s good, I’m not enjoying the game

[mighty stump]

I like P2 Ursa but it doesn't say "Tofu"

[molten oasis]

Exactly lol

[mighty stump]

I know what my team identities are like

Either Standard +1 or Wack Balance

Lmao

My Ursaluna lives CC from Sneasler btw

[molten oasis]

I like having the 1 off meta guy

[mighty stump]

Although I calc'd it for heavier damage so not the most surprising

[molten oasis]

Didn’t we bo3 with p2 Ursa in reg. F once?

I think you were playing Ursa

[mighty stump]

I had this Ursa from Reg D

[molten oasis]

What Ursa lol

[solid frigate]

Reg D.

[molten oasis]

He didn’t send a set or anything

[bold geode]

Bro is reaching unc status

I'm talking about the Chomp

[molten oasis]

Chomp can take 1 dart, probably

[bold geode]

That's still a beeg chonk

[molten oasis]

True

[bold geode]

If I can live one, then unless it goes Tera Steel just Dart + HV

Or Moonblast

HV is what I usually do so I hit the Flame it's usually beside too

[mighty stump]

RIP Monke

[zinc totem]

[zinc totem]

[bold geode]

RIP Surging Strokes

[mighty stump]

I mean it's fine to go for bulk on specs lol
