that’s true
though for gimmick players like me, a tera type can decide whether ...
yea i can see that. gta jus cover ur bases as best u can then w/ offensive pins/positioning
bold geode
i think it just suffers in a lower power format, u really gta rely on the pults ...
Oh using it for TR stuff is nice
rustic mountain
Would HV throat spray make it better so that it can also do damage?
then ur hyper voicing and prolly not doing much with all the resists and immunities
jus feels meh
torn parrot
Is pult not meta anymore?
nah things are just wacky i think
mons cycle in popularity i think
bold geode
With either Pult or Basc depending on your choice you can either Turn out and TR to get a sweeper in or you can HH and attack for big boy damage
spiral ridge
then ur hyper voicing and prolly not doing much with all the resists and immunit...
Could pop it just for boost then have different move on hand though idk it’s move pool well
rustic mountain
im not saying it doesnt have its merits, i jus dont believe in it much this format i think theres things that jus fit its role better whether its indeedee female or p2

I should try fighting p2 I just like flying too much

i might go back to my farig, gambit, blursa team

Second fucking reg G is back my forgetful ass is so gonna protect in front of Urshi I already know
rustic mountain
but its waaaaay too position based and u get caught out once ur basically screwed. i didnt like such little margin for error

It's what I'm doing rn for a change of pace

I don’t capitalize on it at all and I’m using a luna balance so like
Should prob get on that

Anyways I'm trying A9 now with the BM Farig stuff for a 6th cuz I was gonna use Dnite but like
I wasn't using that shit at all lmao
molten oasis
Maybe that’s why I like restricted ik what I have to prep for, and there’s like a few teams to prep for
rustic mountain
Should prob get on that <:KekCry:1251294703102464020>
sometimes u cant really but yea generally should be getting value off that lol
molten oasis
This format I just feel like there’s something completely new on a weekly basis, so I can’t just get 1 good team I keep having to jump around, skill issue ig
bold geode
Anyways the Sneasler cope is hard
Twin Beam time
spiral ridge
sometimes u cant really but yea generally should be getting value off that lol
It’s just like I’d rather keep it on field swapping a lot especially when TR is up feels rough
rustic mountain
Maybe that’s why I like restricted ik what I have to prep for, and there’s like ...
it all balances out tho, u have more margin for error in bad mus in lower power formats
spiral ridge
I gotta trust it’s beef more probably cus taking hits on swap with nothing you can do feels badd
molten oasis
Ig that’s true
rustic mountain
plus i feel like there really isnt that many archetypes in reg h
jus variations of the same kind of archetypes

it sucks bc you’re doing stupid ideas-

shell armor prevents critical hits

It’s why I like snow ig
(It’s not I just like a9)
rustic mountain
It’s not that it’s every so often it’s every time I play the game
yea i think its jus something u gta look at how u play/approach ur games cuz like we all play the same game, ur not getting all the bad rng u know? might just be ur leaving urself more susceptible to rngs occurence and as a result feel its heavily against u
ive had games ive lost a mon t1, gotten crit twice and slept and still won
like sometimes u can only blame the rng so much
rustic mountain
sure but its the game we play
ive had games ive won to incredibly fortunate rng, games lost to it
molten oasis
I also tend not to tell myself it’s a skill issue if rng had something to do with it if I know I just played poorly, cuz I already have issues with beating myself up
rustic mountain
i think theres ways to be constructive w/o beating urself up
we are all looking to improve its constant progression
molten oasis
Yea idk how to do that, it usually spirals downhill pretty fast
I can be better about it idk how to give myself criticism without it feeling like I’m beating myself up
rustic mountain
remove ur feelings from the equation. analyze urself as a player and be as objective as u can, not the easiest but gta be able to face ur flaws somehow. its not jus specific to u, every player is in a state of constant improvement, we all have our down moments we all have our own kinds of flaws

but remember what got u
molten oasis
It’ll eventually get to me regardless, ig that’s a good sign of stop playing
For the day
rustic mountain
i think ur issue is a short fuse, gta be able to hone it in without going off. losing streaks happen but for u it seems like the end of the world and ur ready to burn it all down and start again
wen that happens that is

Throat chop is the standard one right

thats the standard coverage move yeah

Coolio thanks Ill try a few moves out and see how they pan
Gholdengo is prolly a go to special attacker this reg right? Considering adding it to the lineup Im working with
molten oasis
yes
red willow
So in theory if I have sneasler incin rilla and gholdengo what would a good rest of the team look like? Having a hard time deciding on the last 2 mons maybe a bulkier special attacker like primarina for coverage on other types Im missing for one of the slots?

technically its not

im on the side of yes
because if its not a pseudo then pseudo means nothing competitive wise
cyan smelt
Don't all pseudos have 600 bst
rustic mountain
idt it was originated from competitive basis, jus that they are 3 stage evolution lines w/ 600+ bst. it technically doesnt fall into that
torn parrot
yeah it wasnt from competitive
rustic mountain
Don't all pseudos have 600 bst
arch has exactly 600 bst
cyan smelt
Do any pseudos have more than that
torn parrot
how i see it is that pseudo is a fan term based on those 600 bst pokemon in every game
rustic mountain
for all intents and purposes u could put it there, just in a technical sense for how its been classified in the past, arch does not fit
torn parrot
i love archaludon
rustic mountain
psuedo for gen 9 was bax, arch is jus something that got an evo
torn parrot
well there has been more than one in the past
cyan smelt
Bax and arch are cool pokemon
rustic mountain
well there has been more than one in the past
yea that also follow the 2 main things, u need a 3 stage evo line and 600 bst, not 1 or the other
i genuinely feel like arch and applin evos were meant for gen 8 dlc, feels so random getting them a gen later wen weve waited so long for other mons to get the same

Isn't protect almost always better than quick guard
they function differently so not really sure the comparison outside of jus choosing 1 or the other for a moveslot
but yea protect is one of the best moves in the game

I've seen Iron Crown used it during my Ladder Climb in Reg F and i was like what the fuck is that move

strange fjord
0.333% of Kingambit running Quick Guard (at best odds) is like 1/300
rustic mountain
