[foggy lodge]

kinda

Tho the team is cool

gotta love tailwind

[dense latch]

crazy how speed control isn’t basically required on a team

[shadow wind]

Maybe the Ghold with specs protect

[solid frigate]

more lik Reg F but yea

[solid frigate]

It has Trick so it helps on Protecting it self after trick away the Specs

[shadow wind]

Yeah I see that but at face value it looks weird

[solid frigate]

for certain players they think its a Teambuild foul but its more like an good take of how you can have Protect on a Specs mon

[shadow wind]

Never said it was bad just saying it looks funny by normal standards

[solid frigate]

fair

[molten oasis]

Is that a calyrex where the dengo is or am I trippin

Tornadus

[solid frigate]

LMAO

[whole wraith]

hey everyone, this is going to be a Mono Rain team, what do you guys think for a start, what changes should I do/make, and is there a smiliar build like this?
thank you guys

Why this team?
Challenge and gym rules in a server, and I wish to build around Samurott-Hisui and the effect of drizzle, I have thought about Pell but I wanted to give Politoad a try and something different to throw my opponents off a bit

thank you everyone!

[solid frigate]

Just use Peli dear god-

[shadow wind]

"All that for a drop of blood" ahh elo gain

[molten oasis]

Ong cuz you only got 9

That’s insane

[shadow wind]

I think the lowest I ever got like 6?

It was dumb

UPDATE

[torn parrot]

One of the most relatable screenshots of all time

[patent marsh]

on god feels like dragonite is alright, primarina and rillaboom feels very low value rn

maybe I should commit to chomp dragonite like I initially wanted

[molten oasis]

Primarina fell off a cliff lol

[patent marsh]

😭

[patent marsh]

yea rn in this team it's pretty dead if I don't have tailwind up

too slow in tempo for the overall team

cause it's slower than all the targets it wants to be faster then

[molten oasis]

I think Prima being replaced would be enough

[patent marsh]

even with that much speed

[molten oasis]

The other 5 seem fine, although idk about rilla and incin

[patent marsh]

so far

feels like I can never pick rillaboom

[molten oasis]

Idk if that’s changed but I figured they weren’t super good together

[patent marsh]

can probably do a better mon in it's slot too

[patent marsh]

they're good together

[molten oasis]

Why does it feel difficult to take it

[patent marsh]

but sneasler kinda bricks it

[molten oasis]

This format

Specifically I think they aren’t super good together in this format

[patent marsh]

the things it goes into sneasler feels better so far

[molten oasis]

I really only ever see 1 or the other

I think it gets too passive

To fake out cycle

Ah that’s fair, uhm

[patent marsh]

does basculegion really need funny rain birb

[molten oasis]

Redirection could be nice, I think incin amoonguss is great

[molten oasis]

Scarf adaptability basc is good

I use one on my team it’s pretty consistent

[patent marsh]

:noted:

maybe try swapping rilla prim with chomp basc then

[solid frigate]

[molten oasis]

Don’t these team usually want redirect or am I tripping

Didn’t chomp also kinda fall off

I think both bears are performing better rn

[patent marsh]

oh right

I forgor they existed 💀

[molten oasis]

I mean, av blursa maybe here

Idt chomps bad feel free to try it

[solid frigate]

chomp its fine but yeah i think they aren't that good like in mid reg h

[molten oasis]

I think it gets really pressured by a9

[shadow wind]

Man

[molten oasis]

6 LOL

[solid frigate]

LMAO

[torn parrot]

😩

damn

[solid frigate]

bro does not deserve that

lol

[molten oasis]

Your opponent just like “oh, ok guess I lost almost nothing”

[shadow wind]

Literally

[torn parrot]

i went on one of those little vgc tournament rooms and they had a tournament going on and i didnt see that it was doubel restricted best of 3 open teamsheets so i took in me and my friend's weezing zacian team and was expecting to get obliterated by the double legendaries but i WONNNNNN eyaaaaaaaa

who needs two restricteds, my second restricted is REGIGIGAS

[atomic portal]

our zacian team keeps on winning

https://tenor.com/view/macho-amigo-friend-bro-hermano-gif-21219621

[torn parrot]

fuckin love those dogs

[shadow wind]

Didn't realize how hard Rotom wash countered Excadrill

Making me contemplate mold breaker

Through light screen too

252+ SpA Life Orb Ursaluna-Bloodmoon Earth Power vs. 140 HP / 0 SpD Assault Vest Tyranitar in Sand through Light Screen: 69-83 (35.7 - 43%) -- guaranteed 3HKO

😭

Ttar lowkey eats that

[molten oasis]

It’s ttar lol

Ttar got some insane bulk

And then it meets a punching glove

[molten oasis]

ah, that team

[torn parrot]

i legit just spammed that team the entirety of reg G cus i didnt wanna teambuild

also that zamazenta one

[molten oasis]

Fair I guess

[shadow wind]

😔

Where is my storm drain for fighting type moves

"Punching bag"

[whole wraith]

hey guys, my friend just posted me her team and i think this team cooks, but i would like your guys opinion, may i show?

[shadow wind]

Yippee

[cyan smelt]

Wish I could make a good reg h team

[torn parrot]

i beleive in you

[cyan smelt]

Maybe I should look at what makes my reg g team good and think about that

[torn parrot]

have you tried just working off of an easy strat

[cyan smelt]

I struggle with abstract thinking and concepts and that's why I struggle with team building

[torn parrot]

ye then it might help to focus your thinking

[shadow wind]

Almost exactly what I did

Ttar - Groudon
Excadrill - Gouging fire

Then went from there

[cyan smelt]

Well since I have torn and urshifu and Zama on my reg g team it would make sense to have some speed control and something with a choice scarf and the reg h equivalent of zamazenta

Logically I should do a rain team then

[shadow wind]

Bascu can run scarf

With adaptability

And work as a semi Urshi

[cyan smelt]

I worry about prio moves with basc

[shadow wind]

Pair it with psyspam

With Sneasler

[cyan smelt]

Might need farig like otot

Oooh sounds good

[shadow wind]

Boom, 3/6 members

[torn parrot]

yeahhh

[cyan smelt]

Unburden sneasler is great speed control

[torn parrot]

simple stratss

[shadow wind]

Sneasler
Bascu
Indeedee-M

Gross core

[molten oasis]

i made

[cyan smelt]

But what tera for basc I feel like water is the obvious one

[molten oasis]

many good teams and doubted like all of them lol

i've also seen some of your teams they seemed ok

what you currently working on?

sometimes, and for me usually, its the player

not necesarilly the team

[shadow wind]

Holy wowza

[cyan smelt]

The issue is I keep stubbornly choosing the same mons and pick mons without great synergy, like I tried taking elements of that gliscor a9 team but putting porygon 2 on it did not work

I struggle with tr teams a lot

[molten oasis]

do you know why those teams work?

[shadow wind]

Oh wait, new all time elo peak

[cyan smelt]

Let me look at the gliscor a9 team again

[molten oasis]

congrats

now get that gxe above 70 👍

[shadow wind]

😔

It was at 64 earlier

And I have this account that used the same team I just used to climb

[molten oasis]

nice

[shadow wind]

I lowkey cooked with this team

[cyan smelt]

That gliscor a9 team works because it has a9 making everything bulky, vivillon for speed control and status, gliscor with veil and tera ice makes it extremely bulky and hits hard with CB, and kingambit, arch and incin are just good pokemon

[molten oasis]

send paste of that and your team plz

[cyan smelt]

Ok sec

[molten oasis]

cuz idk what team you're really talking about lol

[cyan smelt]

https://pokepast.es/aa605cee6585c002

Featured recently on cybertron's channel

[molten oasis]

did people really stop running steel stab on archaludon?

ive seen that a couple times now

[cyan smelt]

No idea

Stalwart arch is interesting though

[molten oasis]

i dont disagree

i think this team does well at keeping pressure on the opponent while remaining pretty bulky and makes it hard to remove pieces

[cyan smelt]

https://pokepast.es/02d5fdcf358cbf3c what mika said was right i think, i need one of gliscor or skeledirge, not both

[molten oasis]

absolutely lol

[cyan smelt]

but i don't think having tr is good on this team, i think i need tw

[molten oasis]

peli archa with p2 ursa?

[cyan smelt]

i might try that and i might also try unburden sneasler with basc and indeedee-m

[molten oasis]

you can try that

[cyan smelt]

just need to check common partners for indeedee-m and unburden sneasler

[shadow wind]

Psychic seed Corv was popular

[cyan smelt]

then what item on sneasler

white herb is good

[shadow wind]

Focus sash is probably the best

It's the hardest to beat imo

[cyan smelt]

but unburden on psyspam

and i can't run sash on sneasler if indeedee-m is running sash

[torn parrot]

conner is on my ass

[shadow wind]

Wowie who's there in 113th

You're lucky I already played 100 games today

[cyan smelt]

i think looking at my reg h team that i should go tw hyper offense

[shadow wind]

By the way Kal0s, it took me a very long time to also settle into a team

And like I made this team 2 weeks ago

So it isn't like an "ol' faithful" yet

[molten oasis]

jeez 2 of you sit in near top 100

[shadow wind]

In Reg G we had like 4 accounts between us that were right around here too

I should try to find that image

Just kidding, it was 3 account in the T100

[neat kayak]

Part of me really wants to make an offensive cyclizar
Because I’m bored

It gets shift gear which I think is neat

[molten oasis]

I can’t even settle on a team damn lol

[shadow wind]

Man I couldn't for like the first 3 months of Reg H

My team builder is gross to look at

Every Reg H team I've made

[molten oasis]

Well, ig I did eventually pick smth

Holy shit lol

[shadow wind]

There is a Groudon hidden in there but that's unimportant

[molten oasis]

Where’s Waldo ass mission lol

[shadow wind]

I mean I can find it instantly but that's besides the point

It's the team with only 2 mons

Cause it was literally a single idea

Oh and I guess there's also an OU team in there

[neat kayak]

I had a pretty funny gimmick idea for Cyclizar with shift gear

[shadow wind]

I feel like Cyclizar doesn't even benefit from shift gear as much as other pokemon

Base 121 speed is already really good

So good that it is its only real stat

[neat kayak]

My idea is to invest in his bulk and use shift gear to increase his speed so he can’t be outsped
While also increasing his attack

Just a goofy idea I had

[rustic mountain]

if ur gna use cyclizar atleast use like shed tail, its not in a good place rn tho

[neat kayak]

And then give it Ghost Tera for defensive Tera
I call it ghost rider

[shadow wind]

Good on paper but in practice this gets dog walked by 90% of the meta

Also hey tree

Feel like we haven't spoke in a bit

[neat kayak]

Good point
I just like having fun and experimenting

[shadow wind]

As we all do

[neat kayak]

I like giving pokemon with like
1 niche
More stuff to do

And see if it works

[shadow wind]

Helping hand Groudon !!

Although that was actually used in a tournament

[neat kayak]

Listen if somebody can make pachirisu work

Anything is possible in pokemon

[shadow wind]

I mean that guy is a world champion

And also Pachi had an amazing niche that it filled perfectly that year

[neat kayak]

Using iron fist + punching glove Infernape is so fun

[shadow wind]

Infernape is an interesting pokemon

[neat kayak]

I’ve also been using quick draw/claw G-Slowbro

[shadow wind]

And how’s that been working?

[neat kayak]

Honestly very fun

And when it does work it works really well

[shadow wind]

Not to say elo is everything but what’s yours looking like? If you don’t mind me asking of course

[neat kayak]

Elo?

Sorry I’m slow

[shadow wind]

You play on showdown?

[neat kayak]

I play on showdown and normal S/V
But mostly on switch

I do use showdown to make sets tho

[shadow wind]

Ah, so elo is the ranking system on showdown

Play a game, win = gain elo, lose = lose elo

So higher is better

[neat kayak]

Ah Alr

I do link battles and online battles mostly
I don’t dabble much in competitive but I do train them to do well in battles

When I do do comp tho I play showdown

[lofty tartan]

Pachirisu was a meta call that happened to be a favorite. But ultimately just that-- a meta call.

It's a really bad example of "you can make anything work"

[shadow wind]

I was going to say that as well

I don't even think it was a favourite

Just worked amazingly for the team

[torn parrot]

hginnghhhjjjhhjh

[shadow wind]

Left me in the dust

[torn parrot]

attempting to play from here would just be foolish

for me

for now i dont dare go beyond 1800

until i know im ready

[dull ibex]

sigh. if you want a better example

wolfey making leafeon work

it wasnt even good when he used it

[torn parrot]

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2024regh-2250021214-lqrd0tcgah4ck4kbytmeifb4qf5fqqipw

[cyan smelt]

Isn't that the guy who uses lycanroc religiously

[torn parrot]

yes

its funny that he uses it so much that everybody knows who he is

[cyan smelt]

That scale shot did so much damage, but then I remembered it was coaching boosted

[torn parrot]

yeah if only i still had my loaded dice

😔

would have killed in one hit

[cyan smelt]

Ttar is super bulky too

[neat kayak]

Was scale shot good in gen 8?

[cyan smelt]

No loaded dice so not really

[torn parrot]

oddly i remember it being used on singles swords dance garchomp

but that was just to set up for a sweep

[cyan smelt]

More people should use baxcalibur

[neat kayak]

Wasn’t baxcalibur banned when scale shot returned?

[shadow wind]

Baxcalibur is sick

Like perfect pokemon to exist

Except not really

He has so much going for him

But is still an ice type

[lofty tartan]

Maybe from smogon rules but nothing ever gets banned from vgc unless it's a regulation change.

And then it's less banning more "these are not allowed in current regulation"

[cyan smelt]

Yeah bax has a really bad mu into gholdengo, arch and gambit

[lofty tartan]

Sneasler forces a Tera too. Bax explodes to a good CC

[torn parrot]

the faults of ice typing

[cyan smelt]

It's hard to make it work when so much threatens it

[lofty tartan]

It's not really "hard to make work". It works fine. It's been taking top table spots in recent regionals.

[solid frigate]

tbf at least for an ice type its good

[cyan smelt]

It would be hard for me to make work

[lofty tartan]

Like a pokemon can have bad matchups. Players are able to pilot through those. You don't just run Bax into a Close Combat or anything

[cyan smelt]

I figured out what makes my reg g team the most successful team I've built

[chrome knot]

me when i cant build a team of purely 100-0 mons

[near crag]

Hey, I've been plaing with this team a lot lately, and rain has been a real trouble for me. I have no answer to archaludon, basulegion, pelliper, primarina, or dozo, but those are kinda all of my bad matchups. Any ideas? https://pokepast.es/e5b886d602716c29

[next stump]

drop porygon for rillaboom

that’s where i would start

consider dropping fake out or coaching on sneasler for tera stellar as well, but that’s preference for how well you want to hit archauldon

[near crag]

But then how am I gonna deal with tr, if I got no way to reset it?

[next stump]

ice spinner and rillaboom can break psychic terrain, you have potentially double fake out to stall turns

if you’re really worried about the TR matchup, then do indeedee-male with imprison

porygon could also be an electabuzz with taunt

[near crag]

Between rilla and electabuzz, wich one do you think works best?

[next stump]

a defensive tera with electabuzz (like grass or dragon) would help you live wave crash

I think I’d like electabuzz more since you can lead it well alongside stuff like gholdengo and dragonite

[near crag]

Why dnite?

[next stump]

helps you get a scale shot up safely

[solid frigate]

oh yeah i notice that while helping Red build his Dragonite

[near crag]

Ight, thanks bro

[gentle crag]

kuklcan has given 1 Gen Rep to mlbd

[next stump]

let me know if that doesn’t help the matchup

also feel free to send replays here since sometimes it’s not necessarily a team issue, it can be how the team is piloted

[dapper crag]

Is there someone who's Master Rank this current season ?

[bold geode]

Probably half this chat

[bold geode]

Girl's calling me out I just KNOW it

[chrome knot]

like 75% of people here

[bold geode]

Hey Emma guess what

[chrome knot]

chicken butt

[bold geode]

I wish

Noni lose weight
I lose 10 lbs

We out here

Also
Turns you into marketable plushie

[plain drum]

Does Emma make a sound if you squeeze her

[chrome knot]

squeak

[plain drum]

I'll take 10

[mint void]

https://pokepast.es/23c24cd14a1c96dc
I need a 6th slot here

Any ideas? I had a few but I wasnt 100% happy.

[chrome knot]

YAY i sold 10 blushies

[mint void]

whats a blushy

[pallid hare]

a plushy but blue

[gentle badger]

I wanna make a sun team that uses Venusaur as the lead.

[chrome knot]

ok

[gentle badger]

is that viable?

[bold geode]

turns into DBZA Vegeta

[mighty stump]

Not me I’m bad at the game

[gentle badger]

a doubles team, to be precise.

[chrome knot]

haha noob

[knotty mirage]

Depend if you mean double i already reach it for bss tho still need a while

[next stump]

yes, plenty viable

[bold geode]

Get fucked nerd

[knotty mirage]

Tbf playing on closed team sheet in this reg just feel really bad

[dapper crag]

Who's master ball rank on SV ?

[solid frigate]

why ask?

[chrome knot]

he wants someone to get the ribbons on his mons for him

[solid frigate]

bruh moment

[dapper crag]

didn't know this server have arrogants people like you @chrome knot

We learn something everyday

[bold geode]

Just play lol

[solid frigate]

its more like

Do it yourself and not be lazy

[dapper crag]

it's not about being lazy it's about don't know anything about VGC strat

[solid frigate]

Then Learn

[foggy lodge]

play then

[dapper crag]

you're right

[bold geode]

I'm checking out this convo lol

[dapper crag]

what does checking out mean ?

[solid frigate]

with that POV I thought that is Area Zero Crater lol

[foggy lodge]

Anyways one hour!! https://www.youtube.com/live/mYXrygo3OT4?si=NBQ5-H2vJfivAArp

[solid frigate]

nice

[chrome knot]

i dont think that makes me arrogant

[dapper crag]

no not at all when say in my DMs " im not gonna use ur mons so you can get the ribbon rofl" without me even asking for it even tho you preshoted my request

you aren't at all arrogant

it's just me who's crazy

I use words that I don't master huh say it

[chrome knot]

why else would you ask if im master ranked in game

with 0 other messages in comp chat

[next stump]

super sad that we are missing out on the swiss rounds today 😦 they’re starting stream so late

at least 2 rounds will be done already, if not all 3

yotam 7-2, still in contention for top cut

keanu 6-3

wow riley factura and alberto lara also 6-3

[solid frigate]

damn

at least they done well i'd would say

[next stump]

yeah potentially 8-3 can still sneak into Top 32 which has pretty good prizing

I think you get two booster boxes

[foggy lodge]

Top 16 are the only ones that get money prizes right?

[next stump]

yep, top 16 and above at regionals

top 32 gets money at ICs

I personally wish that Top 32 got a little bit of money (even like $100-250) and Top 16 got a little less money to compensate (maybe $500 instead of $750)

but that’s just my personal opinion

it would feel nice to spread the actual $$$ around a little bit

[foggy lodge]

i thought the booster box prizes were only for TCG players

[next stump]

they recently updated VG prizing this year

Top 64 is one box, top 32 is 2 boxes

even top 128 is 9 packs I believe

or maybe slightly more packs

9 packs for Top 256, 18 packs for Top 128

just googled it ^

[foggy lodge]

Damn

That's actually very decent prize

[next stump]

Yeah it’s nice knowing that even 5-3 or sometimes 4-4 gets some packs as compensation

If you make day 2, you’re almost guaranteed a booster box (just 1 win out of 3 rounds usually)

[solid frigate]

i see

[gentle badger]

is there an available good sun team that I can insert a Venusaur into?

[shadow wind]

Could make one

[solid frigate]

Venusaur+Torkoal

[dull ibex]

I would not call venukoal good

[solid frigate]

but tbf

he asked for it

[dull ibex]

No he asked for good lmao

[dull ibex]

Venusaur is in a rough place rn, torkoal+liligant is the go to or Charizard sun

You can't just insert Venusaur

[solid frigate]

[dull ibex]

This isn't even pedantic

[solid frigate]

ikik

[dull ibex]

anyways yeah no dont use venu

[solid frigate]

also yeah Psyspam is everywhere almost

[dull ibex]

its too weak and frail atm

lost dynamax

[gentle badger]

I still want to use venusaur

[dull ibex]

Well theres not a good team you cant just insert it on well

if you want literally any team that venu COULD benefit from ig lilikoal?

[solid frigate]

and Venusaur has negative Matchup with quite a lot of team comps (Rain,Psyspam,Sneasler Balance)

[dull ibex]

not every pokemon can be used well also sadly

https://pokepast.es/2d4ae9951e878013 if you are insistent on a meh mon you can replace lili here

but its not going to be good

[solid frigate]

also Bax resurgence makes Venusaur unhappy

[dull ibex]

the real issue is dynamax

[solid frigate]

True

[dull ibex]

it lost dynamax and mega

dynamax especially made it stupid good with dusklops

[solid frigate]

yea

[dull ibex]

god I miss dusclops

it also doesnt help that rain is just better atm

though sun itself picked up a win

[gentle badger]

I'm just doing this for a decent casual doubles team

[dull ibex]

then why ask the competitive team channel?

[gentle badger]

plus I only have Violet

[dull ibex]

thats not a probelm with trading

[solid frigate]

yeah

Venusaur is a DLC Mon

well kinda

[gentle badger]

because there isn't a casual_discussion channel.

[dull ibex]

well if this isnt ranked genuinely just use whatever

[next stump]

that was a nice comeback by the sand player

[dull ibex]

thats just general or whatever, but fair enough honestly, I gave you a team to put venu on btw

[knotty mirage]

Wait is it good idea too slot brave bird instead of foul play on murkrow ?

[dull ibex]

I prefer brave bird

[knotty mirage]

I mean it seem's can ohko sneasler

[dull ibex]

the day sneasler stops using sash I can be happier

[gentle badger]

since I have no access to Legends, would it be safe to replace hisui liligant with venu?

[next stump]

yeah it’s nice to pressure sneasler more, this team is really sneasler weak

kingambit, arch, rillaboom

[shadow wind]

Not really, Lilligant has after you which is like the only reason it’s used

[bold geode]

Damn Yotam outta cut

[dull ibex]

this rain team slaps

I just hazed my make it rain drop lmao

Why is it too much to ask that my stupid apartment NOT DC MY MATCHES

[next stump]

THE CRIT HOLYYYY

i’d be fuming

[gentle badger]

again, no access to Legends

[next stump]

if you’re using a team in casual battles, yes just put venusaur on it

[solid frigate]

People say that NA can build because Palance or Mud Shot Cyclizar make Day 2. That's just wrong. It should be called skill issue.

Bazinga

[shadow wind]

And it just gets better

[pearl wind]

[torn parrot]

jaysp just started harassng me for no reason 😭

i just want him to go away tbh

[torn parrot]

fuckin insane work conner im really impressed

[shadow wind]

Thank you thank you

Still no 1800 but I'll take what I can get

[torn parrot]

might as well be 1800 with those insane stats

your always talking about all your bad matchups yet you go crazy despite that

[shadow wind]

It's cause I like to not think very hard

Like if someone leads Sneasler Indeedee and the Sneasler is sashed I instantly know what to click

But if they're psychic seed I then overthink it

[dense latch]

1745 with 75% gxe is insane, that's worth so much more than 1800

[torn parrot]

exactly

🤝

[bold geode]

That Overheat turn from Joe was crucial lol

[dense latch]

has to be the team to beat

[shadow wind]

Ew

Is that the Scarf Peli garbage?

[torn parrot]

im proud of this reccord with main course

i love this team

[dense latch]

what team are you using?

[torn parrot]

of course this was before i ruined it by grinding ladder to much

https://tenor.com/view/frieren-anime-elf-cute-kawaii-gif-10687208952168920275

Ding ding ding

[chrome knot]

elizabeth team yippee

[torn parrot]

yeyeyeyeeyeye its so much fun

[shadow wind]

So glad we never decided to ladder at the same time

[dense latch]

i think im taking a break until reg g comes out on showdown, i found a team that i actually enjoy in a format i otherwise hate lol

[shadow wind]

If I ever saw that I would explode

I loved Reg G

Waiting for its return

[molten oasis]

Ladder grinding this reg sucks lmao

[molten oasis]

I appreciated it more after playing this reg

[shadow wind]

I mean it's just the same 4 teams over and over again

It ain't too horrible I thought

[torn parrot]

this is mostly prference but i ilike seeing teh stupid stuff on ladder

[shadow wind]

Oh me too

[torn parrot]

plus if you lose to it its a learning experience uwu

[ebon portal]

Does anybody have a team build for guts ursaluna with flame orb and trick room?

[torn parrot]

porygon incin urslauna is a popular core

[shadow wind]

Yeah

I was trying to find a paste but I can't for some reason

https://pokebin.com/3077e9fb41ac71b1

Bazinga

Why does Cyberton have to start every video staring into my soul

[ebon portal]

Oh wow, thank you very much

[shadow wind]

👍

[molten oasis]

I felt like it was the fact I saw like 15 different kinds of teams

[solid frigate]

because

Its Cybertron

[bold geode]

These sets for t16 are taking a while

They say T8
I guess they just ain't update this shit

[molten oasis]

Bruh

[bold geode]

PALAFIN AND HYDREIGON IN T8

[torn parrot]

i played reg G yesterday and like

[whole wraith]

Update::
https://pokepast.es/5cc4a78fb15f4b08

what I have so far, part of it was suggested by TB for the EV build, please correct me for any mistakes, thank you ^^
This is for a Discord Battle Challenge, and the rule is Mono -Type only, I have not worked on Teras yet, Thank you^^

[torn parrot]

groaned when is saw teo clefairy calyrex shadow teams with incin rillaboom

i was like right now i remember why i hate this

[bold geode]

I have done some Reg G sets and I loved going back

I think I've dropped like
1-2 sets over at least 10?

[solid frigate]

huh nice

[molten oasis]

Reg g>reg h

[torn parrot]

nah i disagree

Reg H> all regs

[solid frigate]

idk in terms of how good am i,I'm probably better in Reg G

At least Reg H is kinda just an alright i forgot to build a Team in Cart

[bold geode]

Meta for Reg H is just hard to follow

[potent coyote]

lol dude I have run into you so many times

[torn parrot]

lmao

[potent coyote]

at least 3

[torn parrot]

whats your team ill recognize you

[potent coyote]

whimsicott typhlosion annihilape maushold farigiraf ursaluna-bm

I used other teams tho but idk if I battled you with the other team(s)

[solid frigate]

honestly i have to agree on this point,for some people its hard to follow but for some reason

And i mean some reason,some random Elo players know how to play the reg

[torn parrot]

ohhh i may remember that

ggs i dont remember who won those

[potent coyote]

I probably lead maushold + farigiraf vs you

every time...

[torn parrot]

oh lol now i remember that

[solid frigate]

i think thats the best time to know how to mix up your lead

[torn parrot]

i played so many games it makes sense someone would be here who i fought

[potent coyote]

wdym

I played vs so many sneasler indeedee during the ladder tournament that I just defaulted to that lead whenever I saw sneasler + indeedee HAHAHA

it worked most of the time

[solid frigate]

like not leading the same two in the same Set(Kinda the same set cuz you thought Maya 3 times)

[potent coyote]

I think it is the best lead vs that team

because sneasler destroys everything else

[solid frigate]

fast Mode Typhlosion works

[potent coyote]

sneasler outspeeds it and throat chops it

or amrarouge just eats the eruption and wins

[solid frigate]

Prankster Tailwind?

[potent coyote]

unburden

[solid frigate]

prankster tailwind comes out first

[potent coyote]

bruh

[solid frigate]

and you have shadow ball against Arma

[potent coyote]

indeedee redirects shadow balls, and sneasler moves first as long as psychic terrain is up

[torn parrot]

seems like a tough matchup

[potent coyote]

is it rocky helmet indeedee

[torn parrot]

nah its saftey goggle

[potent coyote]

yea so the only way maushold + farigiraf lead loses is if sneasler calls maushold terastallization or crits farigiraf

[solid frigate]

wait can you show your full team+Moveset

[potent coyote]

https://pokepast.es/87cee7dccc80894f

[torn parrot]

ahhh ghost tera right

[potent coyote]

yea

[torn parrot]

pretty nice lead into that

[potent coyote]

population bomb kills

[bold geode]

Palafin and Hydrei on stream now

[potent coyote]

indeedee

[solid frigate]

1 protect god damn

[potent coyote]

it's hyper offense

ursaluna had protect for most of my games but I often lost to a low HP target at the end, and I seldom used protect on Ursaluna

this team sucks but everyone on ladder is on autopilot so they don't take time to consider what the sets could be

I got to 1835 with it so that's pretty impressive

[torn parrot]

hell yeah nice job!

that is impressive

i have yet to have the guts to plauy over 1800

[solid frigate]

i kinda stopped at 1500

i ain't dealing with my sanity over Reg H when its gonna be just 1 Wave

[vagrant ingot]

Anyone have any way to know when upcoming online tournements are? Like a website or something I can go to?

[solid frigate]

go to Limitless and there should be LOADS of Tournaments

[potent coyote]

I might try to push further later

[torn parrot]

wow good luck fam, im tapped out i respect the grind

[potent coyote]

I didnt play because I did not want to jeopardize my ladder rating for the ladder tournament smogon vgc was doing :P

[torn parrot]

ohh

i remember seieng those usernames

[potent coyote]

Yeah vgclth

[torn parrot]

good luck on your climb!

[shadow wind]

Those darn accounts make my games public !

[solid frigate]

i beat them once

i think twice but i forgor

[torn parrot]

at some point ill push ladder bbuuut not today

[potent coyote]

Yea you wont have to worry about that anymore lool, it ended this morning

[torn parrot]

ohh

[shadow wind]

My secrets are out !

[potent coyote]

Also I saw the 2nd person ever reach 2000 elo (in gen 9)

[bold geode]

LOVELY BALANCE PLAY
I LOVE THIS

[potent coyote]

My friend lost to him and that pushed him to 2001, insane.

And you know damn well I stole that team

[solid frigate]

Monke what happen-

[bold geode]

Palance bro

[shadow wind]

Oh thank god, all those replays are me winning

Would look bad if they were all me losing

[solid frigate]

[potent coyote]

You can use /hidereplay after the battle ends to make it private

[bold geode]

I've been waiting for this

[torn parrot]

wow

lol after the tournament ended my rank got pushed up

[shadow wind]

Wowza

[potent coyote]

nice

[torn parrot]

if i play and lose dunno if i mood will be ruined or not but

its finals so dont wanna get sucked in

thats the responsible choice

plus 66 is good nuff

[rustic mountain]

we goin g3

[torn parrot]

seems hard to play against archlaudon with hsi team

[solid frigate]

i actually forgot to even build my Sylveon team in Cart-

[rustic mountain]

they mustve played vs arch a decent amount in their run u have set up dengo and dreigon to chunk it/ko it

jus got caught out blew tera on dengo for minimal value and then got outsped the rest of the game and had amoongus provide enough disruption to push it even further

gta be smarter how u position incin/dengo cuz back chomp is not gna make it as easy

[torn parrot]

such a hard matchup

yeahh

[rustic mountain]

great set

great adjustments from akhil

[molten oasis]

Hydreigon?

[rustic mountain]

he def played a lot of turns very safe even wen the switches were pretty obvious but it worked out for him nd hes in top 4 so wat can i really say haha

[rustic mountain]

yea dreigon dengo palafin team made top 8

[molten oasis]

cool

[rustic mountain]

looks like sun made top 4 again

Mike Wazowski is the sauce

[pallid hare]

oh god that is mike wazowski, what the hell?

[bold geode]

You not notice before?

[pallid hare]

no

[torn parrot]

theres defintely something to zacian weezing

but nobody will ever do it cus they'll just do calyrex weezing instead

[bold geode]

IS THAT A CHALLENGE I HEAR

[torn parrot]

lol i mean not a challenge but hope you have fun if you try it

[bold geode]

Explain the benefits of Zac Weezing Gigas

Fuck I gotta make a Palkia team
FUCK

[solid frigate]

do not let Drago know lmao

[bold geode]

Bruh
I gotta make a Palkia team

[solid frigate]

you literally have Creph to ask-

[bold geode]

WHY DOESN'T REGIELEKI GET DISCHARGE NOW

[pallid hare]

it discharged too much and got tuckered out

[solid frigate]

Hold on,IT DOES NOT LEARN THAT???

MF IS A PURE ENERGY

[bold geode]

It doesn't
You have no idea how much easier that would've made my job bro

[solid frigate]

mf is a pure energy and it does not learn Discharge out of all things

[bold geode]

Like I get it had a 50% natural Electric boost before, but c'mon it's nerfed to fuck now, give it something

[bold geode]

Great Tusk knows Calm Mind

[solid frigate]

i want to die.

[bold geode]

And if that's not enough
We can go on to the biggest fuck you
Iron Valiant knows Skill Swap

[torn parrot]

the idea behind it is you can turn off enemy intimidate if you wanna and choose when to activate its ability since only activates once.

the strat with this team was that regigigas and weezing will cause as much chaos damage and disruption as they can and when they are deceased the opponent then has to beat out a turbod out zacian ussually next to chien pao

and if I dont wanna bring weezing or gigas I can just as easily use the tailwind mode or rain or even conbine tailwind and regi if I wanna

but iv also just led weezing zacian before stright its funny to mess with ogerpon rock that way

[solid frigate]

i know Nova did not use that move on her CSR Iron Valiant Team but thats just ABSURD.

[bold geode]

So fuck with Weezing Gigas and clean with Zac ideally?

[torn parrot]

yeah

[bold geode]

Yeah she didn't cuz it doesn't fucking work

[dull ibex]

I might swap basc back to adapt and scarf ngl

[bold geode]

Ok I actually kinda fuck with that

[pallid hare]

it doesnt

[torn parrot]

haha

hell yeah

[solid frigate]

oh wait

Lake Trio can't use the full power of Psyspam cuz of the ability

[strange fjord]

Neutralizing Gas is such a huge buff that Weezing got. Shuts down Ability dependent strats and enables Regigigas

[bold geode]

Like that's not how I would do that with Zac tbh I guess but the strat is definitely there

How you deal with Zamazenta though

[torn parrot]

zamazenta is my bitch

double sacred sword and will o wisp

[bold geode]

Why did he protect?

[rustic mountain]

[bold geode]

Throat Chop the Indeedee

[rustic mountain]

his win con was status dire claw

[chrome knot]

idk if yall didnt listen but these two built together so yes theyd have similar gameplans into the mirror

[rustic mountain]

im watching adi stream it he has them muted most of the time or really low

g1 was jus a terrible watch as a spectator lol

[bold geode]

That Dark tera gonna go against Carson now

[foggy lodge]

oopsy

[rustic mountain]

he was covering for losing the speed tie, id imagine he factored this in

[bold geode]

He's compensating for it real well though

Carson is still in better position

Oh

Yikers

[rustic mountain]

tough end game

[bold geode]

Joe v Carson
Gonna be a good match

[rustic mountain]

was reading into sneasler protecting im guessing

[solid frigate]

Honestly Idk which one should i root

[patent marsh]

Torkoal the goat

[bold geode]

Game 3

[foggy lodge]

Sneasler having the same amount of major wins is interesting

[bold geode]

3 OVERHEAT MISSES

[foggy lodge]

nah Typhlo lowkey troll

[bold geode]

YOOOOOO

[foggy lodge]

I think Chomp is necessary in this match up

[solid frigate]

what are the Odds-

[patent marsh]

it's like

really low

might actually be 1 in 1000 something probably

[foggy lodge]

Anyways watching replays what's the obsession with not going for the safe moves to pick the KOs😭

clicking HHP into a 30 HP gambit that has Pelipper in the back and having iron head like ??

[solid frigate]

as a Gacha Player:I like these Odds

[torn parrot]

awww that last game sad

i guess its the risk you take when you run overheat

[solid frigate]

so Sneasler won again?

[patent marsh]

ye

to be fair its not the reason he won

sun losing

joe had great luck on his run, im sure hed be the 1st to admit it just finally balanced out haha

[balmy glen]

He did

I almost went up on stream for him but they needed room for Marcus lmao

He told me that he didn’t miss any overheats and like scale shot peeps 5 times on his way to finals lol

[rustic mountain]

even on atleast the games streamed it seemed like he didnt miss sleep powders either lol

he played great tho finals seemed like a tough mu nd he still gave himself a chance

[balmy glen]

He didn’t make any mistakes tbh

[rustic mountain]

he wasnt really able to given the mu

carson had a bit of margin for error, like u said joe had to play damn near perfect

[foggy lodge]

Top 16

Quite varied

Shows that LAIC really defined the whole format

[solid frigate]

to the suprise of absolutely Nobody that sneasler won again

[foggy lodge]

2 major wins huh

Sneasler has the same amount of wins as P2

[solid frigate]

this is not a coicidence right

[foggy lodge]

And Inci has 4

How could i have say in the early days of the format that Inci was mid

U can never say the most broken support mon of all time is mid

5-6 i guess lmao

in showdown at least

[foggy lodge]

Zamazenta is so fucking cool

[dull ibex]

I need the most straightforward easy team this reg

[foggy lodge]

The shield being part of the body is cooler than Zacian holding the sword

[foggy lodge]

Rain

[dull ibex]

I'm annoyed and want obvious game plans

If rain is the answer then I give up on this hellish regulation

[solid frigate]

I guess everything Sneasler Related

[rustic mountain]

u think early dec theyll bring the ladder back?

[molten oasis]

Me prefer sword doggy

[solid frigate]

it confirmed

[molten oasis]

But zama’s shield going on its body is cool

Zacians full sword gets bigger with the big blades on its back tho

[solid frigate]

idk how he carries that but its cool

[rustic mountain]

🤨

[solid frigate]

wait have you looked at the VGC Chatroom?

[rustic mountain]

hell no vgc chatroom is purgatory

[solid frigate]

trust me,Its worse than you think

My Brain is fried seeing those Teams

[rustic mountain]

i think its just as bad as i think haha

[solid frigate]

CIR with Midbundle is bad IDEA

[rustic mountain]

idk if this really confirms anything its just a community poll?

[solid frigate]

i mean even if its not confirmed

By Logic all Regs in Showdown start 1 month early

[rustic mountain]

yea thats fair i just meant like a hard confirmation doesnt seem likely

[solid frigate]

yeah

Move: Shed Tail

The user takes 1/2 of its maximum HP, rounded up, and creates a substitute that has 1/4 of the user's maximum HP, rounded down. The user is replaced with another Pokemon in its party and the selected Pokemon has the substitute transferred to it. Fails if the user would faint, or if there are no unfainted party members.

only thing i've learnt from sites like showdown chats or other is that the usual player doesn't understand what niches are

ppl jus tunnel vision on mid combos and strats

[solid frigate]

Meanwhile Me:Tunnel Vision on Iron Crown

that happens for like at least half of the Pokemon Community

i think its fine if ur aware ur taking a more casual approach, issue is ppl want the best of both and never find the middle ground

[foggy lodge]

wdym my Zamazenta is a niche mon for me only

It’s illegal for others to run it btw

None of this matters tho because I will just run my single restricted team in double restricted and just outplay ez

[solid frigate]

I might just go with Pagos and Lunala cuz why not

They announced worlds 2026 this year right?

[cyan smelt]

what about deoxys

[rustic mountain]

yea both cali spots

[foggy lodge]

I don't think we are playing SV till 2026 please no

[cyan smelt]

one sucker punch ends deoxys

[rustic mountain]

nah 2026 should be first year of gen 10

[rustic mountain]

[cyan smelt]

curious to see if we get some cool regionals in PLZA

[solid frigate]

also no but i rather not fighting Magerna

[solid frigate]

w h a t

[cyan smelt]

magearna is just special zacian

[foggy lodge]

Regional forms?

[solid frigate]

you do realise i main Miraidon right-

[foggy lodge]

i guess gen 10 will use megas again

[cyan smelt]

yeah wonder which mons from PLZA will get busted new forms

[molten oasis]

This is what I get for letting yt auto play stuff when I pass out

[rustic mountain]

u also have like every option at ur disposal, it wasnt that great in series 13 swsh

[foggy lodge]

Or atleast it will be a gimmick in gen 10, maybe like how we had both megas and z moves in gen 7

[rustic mountain]

its not really a serious format

[solid frigate]

yeah but swsh has Dynamax soooo

[solid frigate]

i mean so does Reg H lol

[molten oasis]

Eww Dynamax

[rustic mountain]

nd sv has tera

[rustic mountain]

huh

[solid frigate]

i don't view as a Serious format at all rn

[rustic mountain]

reg h is a serious format by virtue of there being rl tours for it, an ag format wouldnt have that

jus cuz u dont take it serious doesnt mean it isnt

[solid frigate]

fair

[rustic mountain]

[foggy lodge]

i mean its silly

[solid frigate]

i'm just grew real tired of Split Opinions on Reg H

[foggy lodge]

Like we went from fighting Flutter Mane Chien Pao to fighting Magmar Primarina lol

[cyan smelt]

need to somehow recreate an equivalent of my reg g team for reg h

[foggy lodge]

I tried to do that

Its does not work really

[cyan smelt]

i realised my reg g team is really good because it has multiple things going for it

[rustic mountain]

meta games shift and adapt to the power level all the time, not sure why its that different cuz ur going in the other direction this time

[foggy lodge]

Yeah it makes sense is just like

[molten oasis]

Reg h was pretty okay
