I believe it need tailwind, or any form of speed control, dozo answer (unless the dozo line is just through a9), and then redirection or something to better disrupt psyspam w/ torkoal, cuz that’s been kicking my ass

#

Thoughts on that anyone?

#

These 4 work, I know they do, they feel good and consistent

#

I feel like I lose when I play poorly with them

#

I have amoonguss and Primarina in the gc rn, I might keep Prima and I thought about hydreigon

#

And then just play around getting tw up over getting through stuff with redirection, cuz if that piece dies i get in a real tough spot

#

Rain Dance/Snarl/Tailwind/Haze 😎

molten oasis
#

ig murkrow does fill a lot of those things

#

is that a serious suggestion? I’m just clarifying

#

I’ll try anything at this point lol

wanton berry
#

Which is better in person tournaments or online competition

molten oasis

#

Well I'm finding the team I like is failing either because of my judgment or the opponent knows or just out paces me and now I was in 5048 but when I just logged back in I was at 6789 and now with this loss I'm at 9089 re checking it, it says I'm at 8092 why does it fluctuate so much

molten oasis
#

I’m, what?

wanton berry
#

The global challenge

#

And yes I'm almost done with the first 15 matches

halcyon comet
#

So isn’t it supposed to limit everyone to 15 matches

#

Cuz I’ve done 17 and it hasn’t done anything to like say I can’t do more or anything

dull ibex
#

Weegeecee?

wanton berry
halcyon comet
#

Yeah that’s why I’m questioning it

wanton berry
#

I think if you go over it don't count the ones after 15

halcyon comet
#

No it’s been counting them

wanton berry
#

Weird well just to be safe I'm just gonna limit it to 15 each day

molten oasis
#

Guess I’m 5 manning this team lol

wanton berry
#

Well for me anyways

halcyon comet
#

I wonder if they messed up something in limiting it to 15 per day or set it to 45 over the three days instead or smth

#

Yeah I’m stopping here

#

See what it does tmmr

wanton berry
#

True might as well

celest compass
#

It’s day 2 already

#

You can do 30 battles

wanton berry
#

How when it started officially on the 20th

#

And goes to the 22nd

whole ibex
#

Who pinged me?

#

Anyways, a friend of mine said that people preferring OTS has to due with those people having memory issues.

#

Because you should know how the team works and specific moments should stick out to you like a Pokémon having a specific move by round 1.

#

At first, I thought he had a point but now I’m thinking about it. This feels like a stretch.

yay vivillon won me my wcop tryout match GiggleHehe

#

I’m not good at team building what should I do

whole ibex
#

My friend just doesn’t really like open team sheet, which is fine and I think it’s just one of those agreed to disagree things.

wanton berry
next stump
#

what time zone are you?

#

but yes, it’s 45 total regardless

wanton berry
#

Us central

next stump
#

so you can play until Sunday 6PM

wanton berry
#

Okay it feels weird to me since it's my first time actually doing global challenge

next stump
#

yeah it’s definitely a weird for@at

#

format*

wanton berry
#

But either way if I do 15 matches per day I should still have it done the 45 matches I mean

next stump
#

yeah if you do 15 per day you’ll definitely hit the cap of 45

wanton berry
#

So far I had a rough start for the first 15 matches so idk if it's the way I was playing or it's just im playing against people who just know the how to counter/ are better at the game

next stump
#

what’s your elo at after the games?

wanton berry
#

Elo? Like placement or mmr

next stump
#

the MMR

#

the one that started at 1500

#

placement doesn’t matter until the tournament closes on Sunday, it’ll keep fluctuating

wanton berry
#

One sec

#

1435.135

next stump
#

you’ll climb back 🙏 good luck

wanton berry
#

I hope so

#

The team I got comfortable with was a rental team with Hisuian Typhlosion and Bloodmoon Ursaluna it was I believe a Hyper Offensive team

#

Played it till I got use to it and followed the ev layout of the team for the build

So I was hoping to play competitive eventually but I'm new to the game atm, I was hoping for some tips on making that process smoothly for me and tips on how to get good pokemon and where to get them

mighty stump
#

You can definitely just look up the locations on google of said pokemon

#

Tips wise:

  • Definitely read through the pins and particularly VGC guide for the main official esports format for starting off
  • Try to come into this without any expectations regarding what you learned from the base game/pve content
  • Understand that its mostly a knowledge check and once you get over that hurdle it gets easier from there
#

Additionally, once you’ve decided, use pre-established teams before building your own just to gain the aforementioned knowledge required to tackle teambuilding

#

Which we also have a bank of in either #rental_teams or the pins as well

molten oasis
mighty stump
#

I like Mental Herb Amoong

#

But that’s just preference

#

Sjnce Maushold carries Taunt aswell

#

Since you have Garchomp: Your MU shouldn’t be bad

#

with Gholdengo too

molten oasis
#

into mausape?

#

im gonna assume into mausape lol

#

i can try mental herb amoonguss, rocky helm has felt good but that can also work

torn parrot
#

I skipped dinner and I’m so hungry

#

And I’m up too late again

molten oasis
#

i am also up too late

knotty mirage
#

I have question can i change my pokemon move if it's already registered for grand challenge ?

molten oasis
#

no

knotty mirage
#

Damn it so i'm stuck with draco meteor SadMimi

#

Kinda regret choosing this move over dragon pulse for my archuladon

molten oasis
#

pulse is for wusses, draco meteor is a nuke

knotty mirage
#

The problem is it have chance to just no deal damage at all

molten oasis
#

high risk high reward

knotty mirage
#

Especially to garchomp like come mon man the miss i get when trying to nuke that thing is staggering

torn parrot
#

Im a wuss

#

But Draco has always clutched games admittedly…

#

But it’s also FUCKED my games

solid frigate
#

its double Edged Sword basically

knotty mirage
#

The best thing i could say about draco meteor i play grand challenge send out archuladon and salamence as lead try to use draco meteor with both of them and both of them miss SadMimi

#

Is it just me or does it seem like everyone that plays casual battles has all their pokemon holding a choice scarf?

#

I never go first

torn parrot
#

It’s always possible

#

Could be mono choice scarf

deep coyote
#

I lost 7 in a row

#

Then I played a ranked battle

torn parrot
#

Do u know if you eved right

deep coyote
#

And won first try and I actually went first

deep coyote
# torn parrot Do u know if you eved right

Yeah I have I just think because there are no rules in casual all pokemon have a choice scarf. My team is legal so I think the switch to ranked has helped me see my team isn't as bad as I thought it was

torn parrot
#

Yeah could be right

deep coyote
#

I used a dragapult with timid and went after a metagross

#

So was second to a damn metagross 🤣

#

Like no way he could outspeed me

Ohhh ok lol

your setter is likely pretty passive and a good opponent will just not give you a free switch in to your sweeper

Literally twice now since I've started testing this alt it has not only gotten the confusion, but then caused me to hit myself not just in that same turn, but the turn after
Literally winning board states for me are getting so fucked by this happening

So it seems no mater what I did it's like my teams stand no chance against it even if I use farigiraf to counter tr I still get out sped with expanding force

Whats your whole team?

bold geode

u have to either opt for tr denial thru offense (best route) or just play thru tr. i accept tr is gna go up and jus hav ways to stall it out w/o losing too many resources

#

u can do like imprison tr stuff but idk i think thats bad and creates habits that r easily exploitable

rustic mountain
strange fjord
#

personally, I power through TR. but have options in the back in case i cant stop the set up completely

wanton berry
#

Typhlosion hisui, Ursa blood, farigiraf, meows, Premarina, and whimsicott

strange fjord
#

fast HO with whimm support?

#

or is the ursa and prim slower/bulkier set?

bold geode
wanton berry
#

Rn I'm taking a break from global challenge but then I will finish it up but it's a typhlosion HO

strange fjord
#

replace farigiraf with Incin. provides support against psyspam and sun teams

#

FO to let you HO pokemon do damage

#

while disruption against slower paced battles

wanton berry
#

This is locked in global challenge so it can't be switched

strange fjord
#

then oof, thats the solution I have for you after the GC. For the GC, I suggest meow ursa with protect on ursa t1

#

and if they do TR, you should underspeed amorouge

wanton berry
#

I will pull up the rental team it's based off of

strange fjord
#

if they dont the. tailwind whim to outspeed it

That's what my team is based on

It's a rental team but thx

While playing in the gc my mu into torkoal psyspam was kinda ass, and I needed tw and something to click eq next to

so the 6th is hydreigon

oof yea i think why dnite/chomp was on the team

And I’m keeping it cuz it’s working well

That’s it lol

i mean i kinda wish i had more time lol

I’m not playing anymore I wanna fine tune this team

for next gc

I’m mostly doing gc’s for fun

Cuz I’m not getting a worlds invite or trying to

yea fair enough

#

i was gna aim for atleast some cp

#

hopefully next one i have more time

molten oasis

I’m gonna try to get cp

#

But I’m not expecting it

#

I do find it funny that hydreigon, the Mon I started with initially is what finished up the team finally

rustic mountain
#

b like that sometimes

molten oasis
#

Cuz the other option was snarl murkrow

#

With rain dance

#

Glad it worked out now I can play the team get to know it better, and other stuff

Did you have a team for gc?

i did

have you done all your GC battles, you could squeeze some points there at the very least

There’s a bunch of more GC matches

But I don’t think there’s any point in playing longer I’ll be better in future gcs

https://pokepast.es/9cd24b2c23cdb45c

mighty stump
#

Weezjng/Slaking/Toeds as picks look fine but i dont understand the other 3

knotty mirage
#

For meowstic it's for screen support and if i don't want to bring weezing i mean hey maybe prankster slack off slaking could be useful

#

For dhengo it's for offensive and could be good pair with toedsruel

#

Annihilape i'm not sure with this one it's more like placeholder i might replace this slot tbh

#

Maybe if you have suggestion for the annihilape slot

mighty stump
#

Yea but why Meowstic as your screen setter

knotty mirage
#

It have skill swap

#

Prankster skill swap could be useful if weezing is not uses

#

I can either skill swap prankster slaking or toedscruel could be really good

mighty stump
#

Team looks like it has a lot of potential to like not have enough closing power

knotty mirage
#

I mean the main idea for this team is toedscruel slaking meowstic and weezing for the other 2 slot it just free slot i put offensive mon yeah this team still not finished i might do some correction later

#

And i actually want to use galarian weezing but i don't have swsh so yeah

So I'm guessing Fire Punch is the only fire type move that would benefit from it?

bold geode
#

Yeah
Although Iron Fist really ain't it

#

Infernape ain't really it tbh, but you might as well do Blaze if you're gonna use it since most of the time the ability don't come into play anyways and Infernape does more damage with like CC for example than like Iron Fist boosted Drain Punch

En este combate se enfrentará un subcampeón del mundo contra el actual campeón del mundo...

Infernape is a bit faster without Speed Boost and still hits hard
I'd say Blaziken is better, but we're still in a format that thirsts for natural Fighting types lol
