thats not good enough tbh

yeah i guess if you want to win world championships then yeah, you might not look at samurott as the best option
depends on what your goal is

well looking at the meta is only natural this is a competitive chat tbf

I don't think samurott is good enough for that
I think its fine on the team its on because it feels a very very specific role
its not going to be good on just any team
its one of those mons that aren't unusable but really need to be needed on the team
torn parrot
I don't think samurott is good enough for that
I know hisui samurott could defintely reach like top 500 maybe even top 100 on the ladder
I think a lot of mons can do that but hisui has the X factor of actually being able to hit things hard
dull ibex
it can be carried
thats about as much as credit as ill give it
its fine, but not the most viable thing in the world

lots of things can hit hard, while also having other attributes
many of those pokemon have extra utility while also hitting harder
sharpness is nice, but if you want a sharpness mon you can use gallade
hits harder, way bulkier on the special side, has wide guard and feint
torn parrot
sharpness is nice, but if you want a sharpness mon you can use gallade
The entire mon isn’t just sharpness
It offers different things than gallade the only things they have in common are that their ability boosts damage
It can have utility like taunt if it wants to it has prio if you want that, you could even use it on pledge if you wanted to
The dark type is very good imo
surreal echo

pledge is a special move and doesn't cut, so its always going to be doing less damage than aqua cutter
if you want a dark-type attacker, use kingambit
if you want a dark-type ultility mon, use the cat
also samurott's utility is pretty poor anyways, pretty much the only utility moves it has are taunt and encore
if you want that combo just use whimsicott
not saying you shouldn't try to make it work, if you are skilled enough you could probably make it to top 100
but in doing so you have to accept the fact that using h-samurott will be worse off than using something else
torn parrot

Hisuian sammurott is not the strongest or a better option overall in as vaccum, but it CAN do things better than other pokemon, those things are just going to be more niche or specific.
Just saying that it’s pointless to use every dark type other than meowscarada and kingambit seems really narrow in my opinion. It’s just like why doesn’t everybody just use one single team.
molten oasis
It is narrow
torn parrot
It’s not bad a thing to be creative and explore options, if people thought “why use this when I can use (insert top usage pokemon)”
Then you wouldn’t have a fucked up top cut specs weezing toesdschrool team at a regional

Hisuian Samurott can do things better than other Pokemon, I won’t deny that. It can hit quite hard, and basically hard counters gholdengo, kingambit, and basculegion. However, it also has enough weaknesses that make it a liability to bring in most situations. For one, thanks to Incineroar and Paldean Tauros you’re basically forced to run Clear Amulet. Normally this wouldn’t be a bad thing since Gallade, Garchomp, and other physical attackers do the same thing. However, it does mean you lose out on offensive power you would get from an item, which is something you do kind of need when you’re operating off of a 108 base attack stat. Archaludon, Rillaboom, Amoonguss, Primarina, and the plethora of Fighting-types that are beginning to rise in the meta also give it major issues. This is why unless you have a team specifically engineered to bring out the best in Hisuian Samurott specifically, it will underperform. It’s still possible to do well with it, just like with pretty much every other Pokemon, but needs its teammates to do a lot more heavy lifting to cover for its faults. Personally, I just can’t see it “going crazy” like you said.

I like to exaggerate when I say things like “going crazy”, but I don’t disagree with you. The thing I’m trying to say that I didn’t really communicate well is that of the niche pokémon, Hisuian Sammurott is going to be much easier to find a team it excells on because it’s lucky enough to have a strong ability and actual positive matchups matchups into the strong stuff. Which is something you can’t say for a ton of other picks, so that’s why I beleive in it being able to succeed. But I am aware that a lot of mons just can’t keep up and become a liability anywhere else except for their one or two desired teams.
And some mons are just irredeemable straight up.
But either way I like to see what mons can do, I like to see what they can bring to the table

That’s fair. I get annoyed when casual players going into competitive intentionally go off-meta because “people always use the same teams” and “you should be more creative”. I can see that you’re not that though, and you’re picking Samurott because you see actual potential in it, rather than just wanting to be different. I respect that.

so to specify im going to replace to the first statement
yeah it hard counters those mon and thats why its on the tournament teams its on
I just mean its not going to be something you slap on for a generic reason
its not good enough to just carry the water or dark type role for instance
but also
samurott is just sharpness, it runs three sharpness moves with coverage and a pivot move
if it was just torrent it wouldn't even fill the niche it does now because its damage potential would plummet

I think people can use whatever mon they want, but when they ask for advice they need to brace themself to be told its bad and should run something that suits the role better (not aimed at anyone here)

what does furret do on your team?
Frisk and follow me for magician delphox XD, it lines up type wise for blocking shadow balls and I made the furret faster for super fangs. The rest of the team is male indeedee with pledge
There was literally no other excuse I could find to use furret over maushold or indeedee. I accepted that furret will never be good in tournaments but it has one singles reason for being used, and it’s for frisk on ladder
But it got to 1620 so I’m satisfied with it and it’s pretty fun

Is Sun viable anymore at all? Seems hard to run on ladder

I've actually been running a sun team and I just hit 1620 on ladder with it
It's a bit unorthodox though so probably not the best example
But I think Torkoal TR Sun is the only viable sun team
Ninetales is kind of trash and Torkoal is already such a threat that it works amazingly

some of them on the same team sure but not all 6 and not like that

3 is usually too much weakness overlap

2 usually is pushing it depending on the type overlap

since like zacian and flutter dont share weaknesses but both are fairies

Ofc! Whimsicott has been doing its role well. I struggle with making the team me...
Manual sun is definitely different, I’ve recently found success with Scovillian on a team with Torkoal so maybe if you find Hyphlosion too linear you could try something else linear, TR !
versed linden
Manual sun is definitely different, I’ve recently found success with Scovillian ...
Hyphlosion feels great when it works. Just plays too much like a glass cannon when your moves get read.
I might go back to Torkoal honestly. I never really struggled as much with it.

Ahh, a more supportive one
I run max spatk with charcoal
As well as I use clear smog instead of hh and weather ball instead of earth power
Granted I have no other dozo counter and I’m also using Ursaluna
versed linden
Clear smog sounds like a solid option on the side. I might use it over Earth Power possibly.
I did experiment with Weather Ball before! Another solid choice imo.

I used to do this strat a lot against opposing weather teams. I might just use weather ball again since rain and sand are popping up more often
shadow wind
I find with those though most of them will run stuff that resist it anyway
I definitely got lucky with the chomp and snow combo
But that fire and ice coverage was nasty
I’ve also found that regular Ursaluna is very good into sand teams
My rain answers are definitely a bit iffier but if that pelipper goes down it’s game over for them
I’ve also been using a Tera fire AV Kingambit
Dude lives literally everything
versed linden
Kingambit? Sounds like a good pick...
shadow wind
I like it as a safety net option
Works incredibly well in TR but sucker punch does amazing damage outside of it aswell
And also discourages incin
versed linden
I always forget about Kingambit. Dunno why
shadow wind
I mean if you’ve played ladder in the last 2 weeks he’s on like every team
At least that’s what it feels like
They usually like running a Tera dark SD set
It blows up a lot of stuff but I prefer the AV variant
versed linden
AV sounds a bit better. Ofc SD does the unholy damage, but survivability is appreciated
shadow wind
I really like Tera fire for will o wisp prevention as well as a sure fire way to kill Hyphlosion so I don’t get rolled
versed linden
What would be a solid coverage move for AV Kingambit?
versed linden
Nice one. I've seen some odd Kingambits running around with Assurance too. I do like Low Kick however
shadow wind
Assurance is so odd to me
Why run 3 dark moves, seems pointless
Even if they replace kowtow, kowtow is amazing
shadow wind
I mean a 120 BP move is nuts but - Prio is typically bad
And kowtow not being able to miss is crazy good
Just takes some randomness out of the game
And with sucker punch being unreliable, I like having a surefire 85 BP move to use
versed linden
Your inputs have been really helpful so far. I appreciate it a lot

o/ all...im still completely a noob when it comes to VGC and team building. So please be gentle xD
I hate playing the "meta" and like theory crafting a lot of my own stuff. Sometimes it works most the time it doesnt. Some of it could be lack of experience and game knowledge of the 1K mons. I really like Garganacle with fissure for this Archalodon problem we have going around. Could I get some tips and recommendations on what to change and make edits to? Hoping to keep Garga + grimm cause i really like screens with a beefy OHKO spammer xD mainly just for the dozo players and archalodon players. So i need the team to work against other things that are the meta teams atm.

So made some changes. Ape is now AV and tera fire to combat burn. Can still beat up for rage fist or just be a beefy attacker. Volc is already SpDef beefy and a standard Quiver Dance build with grimm to use reflect and screens for more beef on garganacl and the 2 of those. Mouse can beat up ape for rage fist or use follow me for redirection. he also has Sunny day to reset rain for those nasty rain teams. Lastly a Multiscale Dnite for Tailwind purposes and some heavy Att and Speed investments. Thoughts? Open to everyones opinion and tips. Still learning XD I thought Ice spinner was nice for terrains like psy terrain from indeedee.

Updated my Arch rain team to add Gholdengo back into the mix since Sneasler has seen a high surge in usage. The current Gholdengo set is one I used during reg F, and I'm not sure what the most optimal build is for reg H. I'm also still debating between life orb and mystic water on the Basculegion. Also swapped out Rillaboom for Amoonguss as I feel it pairs better with Gholdengo for some extra redirection. I'd appreciate some tips on how I can improve the team.
