[spiral ridge]

i just meant searching for runs were roughhh

[rustic mountain]

yea

[spiral ridge]

without a path it was like 30% success rate

and it took a while to find paths as i said

[rustic mountain]

yea lunala is not one u can just clear w/o a good path

[cyan smelt]

can't find a consistent team, maybe i should just give up on reg h

[rustic mountain]

cant build or cant find?

cuz theres plenty of consistent teams out there

[cyan smelt]

can't build, connor's team is good

[rustic mountain]

use a good team idk y its build or nothing for so many ppl here

[cyan smelt]

i'll just use connor's team then ig

[red blade]

hey guys, I'm curious, is maushold currently banned in doubles? I can't figure out why it would be

[rustic mountain]

no?

[red blade]

oh wait I'm trippin. It's cuz maushold and creamie both have sash on

[craggy dagger]

nope!
maushold is not-
well
kinda?
kings rock maushold is banned but maushold itself is not

[balmy glen]

???

[craggy dagger]

ya
kings rock maushold isn’t usable in vgc is it not?

oh nvm

[spiral ridge]

😭

[cyan smelt]

yeah i'm scrapping this shitty team

[mint void]

F

[lone spindle]

Controversial topic is Greninja a better haze user than Murkrow

[knotty mirage]

Not really sure about that especially when clicking haze will turn greninja into ice type assuming it have protean

[spiral ridge]

prankster. murk better

[lone spindle]

Running something like taunt on Gren and having a faster haze Mon with a priority move sounds threatening

Give it loaded dice or even better band

[knotty mirage]

Scarf haze ?

[lone spindle]

Blah

I meant sash

[spiral ridge]

whats your topic here man 😭

which are you saying is better

[lone spindle]

Frog

[spiral ridge]

because it can taunt?

[lone spindle]

I’m failing to see why prankster is so valuable

[spiral ridge]

it gives prio to haze, meaning itll go before taunt

[knotty mirage]

It's prio status move it's like really valuable

[spiral ridge]

priority is super fucking valuable in this game, its like speed, thats why prio moves like sucker punch and anti prio like farigiraf and psychic terrain are used so much

grassy glide to get rid of urshis cus theyre naturally faster

haze before the enemy dozogiri can attack cus its faster becuase youre ina higher prio bracket

its invaluable

[lone spindle]

I understand what priority is. My debate is that most Pokémon you’re looking to use haze on don’t use priority moves. Dondozo, the bridge mon

[spiral ridge]

and greninja is meant for attacking (and is bad at that)

[torn parrot]

Uwa

[spiral ridge]

getting them hazed before your mon could feasably die is quite important

[lone spindle]

Mm I hear ya. Maybe that base speed is enough? Plus running sash

[spiral ridge]

lets take peli arch, they have tw up from peli and its a electroshot into your greninja, you likely cant haze in time cus thats gonna fucking hurt, with murk that doesnt matter at all

greninja just sadly isnt good

here

[lone spindle]

Mm I see

[spiral ridge]

if you want a haze water mon that isnt speed, primarina

plus its also water starter

but be careful cus sneasler fucking hurts her

usually runs either sitrus berry or throat spray or mistical water p sure

[lone spindle]

No I really don’t care I’ve just seen Crow go to the side recently and be very match dependent

[spiral ridge]

krow has just afllen off in usage lately

and other haze options are being used

ive seen dnite be a haze mon because it gets speed from scale shot, does actual damage and uses unlike greninja

[lone spindle]

I was thinking of having dnite on my double dragon core but Hydra fits better

Just trying to find a utility Mon with haze

[cyan smelt]

connor's team is easy to use, i see why he climbed so high with it

[spiral ridge]

all i can say is theres much better choices than greninja lol

[lone spindle]

Who would you use?

[spiral ridge]

if i NEEDED one, prim dnite or murk

[knotty mirage]

Does people now use whimsi more as the tw setter then ?

[mint void]

Yes

[spiral ridge]

tw is uhhh in a weird spot

sacramento

[mint void]

Bunch of cotton balls. Little amount of ravens

[spiral ridge]

talonflame jumpluff corvi and peli

[knotty mirage]

Oh yeah forgot about talonflame

[mint void]

Whims feels ass ngl. TF is better imo cause u arent useless after TW. Whims just does no dmg

[spiral ridge]

since lots of stuff is balance cores you dont need the prio speed as much

[spiral ridge]

encore pressure

[mint void]

Yeah

[spiral ridge]

and taunt

if you need damage yeah TF

whimsi rn with sneasler hitting for 4X just always under pressure

[mint void]

But sometimes the opponent doesnt give u encore opportunities. Like im dont really wanna lock the Basculegion into wave crash. That doesn't do anything

[strange fjord]

when they encore your Fake Out:

[spiral ridge]

-incin

[knotty mirage]

Always nice too see rilla immediately switch after using fake out

[mint void]

I mostly just get encores into protect. Or once iron defense

[strange fjord]

Encore means they can't Protect in front of you

or set up

[spiral ridge]

unless its like KG

[strange fjord]

Or Gholdengo lol

or Farigiraf

or Indeedee

[lone spindle]

This is what I have so far double dragon core balance

My thoughts for the # 6 Mon are a haze Mon or porygon2 for reverse trickroom

[spiral ridge]

honestly

[cyan smelt]

This is like the worst time to get a creative block

[spiral ridge]

either those or a follow me mon like electa could be good

magmar and will o wisp a dozo

[lone spindle]

Buzz sounds cool

Will o wisp a dozo?

[knotty mirage]

Is clefairy still used as follow me support in this reg or it's only good on reg H because electric terrain everywhere ?

[spiral ridge]

its a phys attacker and would put dozogiri at average dozo damage

[cyan smelt]

If it doesn't kill you with wave crash first

That's something to calc for

[spiral ridge]

very true

id recc a tera so your magmar doesnt get fucking eviscerated

if you do go it

[cyan smelt]

Gotta watch out for peli arch too when using magmar and sand

[knotty mirage]

So that's the reason people prefer to use electabuzz over magmar it doesn't need to worry about peli arch

[lone spindle]

Got walled by that too many times @cyan smelt

What is a better item for Chomp, life orb or choice band

[cyan smelt]

Lorb because then you can protect

[cyan smelt]

At the start of the reg on showdown I was having decent success with farig blursa, maybe I should revisit

[rugged kayak]

Anyone wanna battle

[mint void]

Where

And what

@rugged kayak

[rugged kayak]

Scarlet violet ?

Thts all I use

I have brilliant diamond too tho

@mint void

[mint void]

Ok what format/ruleset?

[rugged kayak]

Doubles?

N doesn’t matter bout rules

[mint void]

Not home so cant SV rn but others know then.

[rugged kayak]

Wym?

[mint void]

I do not have a console at hand to play the game.
But the others here in the chat now know what exactly you are trying to do.

@rugged kayak whats your team tho?

[rugged kayak]

Oh what am I tryna do loool I’m just tryna battle 😭

I don’t rlly b playin like tht

[cyan smelt]

#1046572041421197352

[cyan smelt]

great now i'm struggling with connor's team

who tf runs tera flying arch

[solid frigate]

To prevent a Certain Land Shark?

[cyan smelt]

ig

i wish i could come up with a good team

That whims beat up into tera flying arch with peli was super clever

[solid frigate]

i really like Tera Ghost Archa

[cyan smelt]

What about fairy

Maybe I should give blursa and farig a go again

[cyan smelt]

Nah I'm gonna stop building and use something established like tree said

[mighty stump]

Or

[bold geode]

@mighty stump I need some fuckin help bro lmao

[chrome knot]

gm tofu

[mighty stump]

Gm Emma

[mighty stump]

What with the same team?

[bold geode]

No

[chrome knot]

found out like the funniest thing last night

[bold geode]

I'm trying to get this Palkia shit out the way and I got two dumbass ideas lol

[mighty stump]

Why are you using Palkia

[chrome knot]

irl friend im team building with for toronto is 2011s Junior WC

[mighty stump]

Oh sick lol

[bold geode]

https://pokepast.es/cdc3ce6a036cc1a9

https://pokepast.es/6d71ab7b9940ee07

[bold geode]

Remember that poll that got me to use Rayquaza?

[mighty stump]

Nope

Extra Nope

[bold geode]

Well I did a poll like "which restricted should I use"
And I complained to you and said I'll use Rayquaza for a simple reason

Palkia won
And I did it across multiple servers and I'm a man of my word lmao

So plz for the love of God help me
I'm literally just needing something for one tour to play then imma throw it out on Twitter, that's it lmao

I was thinking of running it with Gravity lmao

[mighty stump]

I mean Gravity is your best bet

[bold geode]

Does Gravity help Bleakwind actually?

[mighty stump]

Palkia so bad

[bold geode]

Like does Gravity make Bleakwind more accurate

If so like shit I know I got Sandy Shocks so I guess TW Torn can't hurt there actually hol up

[mighty stump]

Why wouldn’t it lol

[bold geode]

Idk how fuckin Gravity works

[mighty stump]

Google

[bold geode]

This just makes me not use Yanmega ok lmao

[mighty stump]

Its a general accuracy increase + Grounds units

[bold geode]

Oh I forgot about the Grounding part

Thx for reminding me of that I would've EQ'd tf outta Torn
Also yes we're turbo bear lmao

[bold geode]

https://pokepast.es/600091146879132e
Ok so does this look usable lmao

[mighty stump]

i guess but feels like yuo just lose to Kyogre

Lol

[bold geode]

Lmao
Anything you suggest then

I'm literally sticking my hand in a porta potty, stirring the shit around and calling it "cooking"
I'm open to ANYTHING rn

Was thinking either Wellspring or like
Run fuckin dual weather lmao

[mighty stump]

I'm really not poke brained atm lol

I'm kinda tired and I just found out my mom's in the hospital

I'm gonna go chill

[bold geode]

Oh damn sorry to hear that
Hope she gets to feeling better soon

[dull ibex]

I'm sorry to hear that

[tiny peak]

Would a rayquaza vgc team for January be viable for switch ranked battles to master? I saw a cool team with like roaring moon tailwind, chien pao, rilla, etc.

[balmy glen]

If your just playing ranked battles anything is viable tbh

[tiny peak]

@balmy glen alright, anything I need to consider to beat opposing legends? I know ray isn't the best without his mega

[balmy glen]

You want to tech your teams for the mus your most scared of tbh Ray, Chien is the automatic start to the duo so you can hit all the kills that your missing, Tera normal extreme speed ray for prio, I’d go Ice Spinner, Throat Chop, Sucker punch, protect on Chien Pao to basically cover for CSR/Mirai basic players

then easily go off from there with what you think you need in each mu

if your playing to just have fun/tryout some anti meta/non meta stuff I’d definitely build meta first

I do think rillaboom/amoongus is kind of needed as the next option just so you can cover the miraidon mu and allow ice spinner mind games or just use icicle crash with choice banded rilla if your using rilla

This helps cover for Weather with Ray/Terrain with amoongus Chien or Chien Rilla

then you fill from there

If you need help deciding on what to use from there lemme know

[tiny peak]

@balmy glen ok I will, I saw one youtube team that was cool it was clear amulet ray/Roaring Moon tailwind/gholdengo/incineroar/rilla/chien pao

[placid mist]

https://pokepast.es/11a28224d23f5f04 can anyone help me with my team I feel like dragapult doesn't fit with the team idk the team just feels off like it doesn't synergies well

[next stump]

you could consider something like primarina to round out the fire/water/grass defensive core and give you another special attacker

in general, I don't think the team as it stands really benefits a lot from tailwind

[placid mist]

prim over dpult?

like just a standard throat spray set is good?

[next stump]

yeah, that's where I would start. You could also swap Gholdengo's item and give Prim life orb

[placid mist]

should I give him metal coat

and prim lorb

Thanks for the idea imma test that out see how it feels

[next stump]

you're welcome, and yes those items work

[spiral ridge]

Hope she gets better soon
Take care both of yall

[molten oasis]

Maybe it’s a sign to not use it

[rustic mountain]

[bold geode]

Brother I told you why

[molten oasis]

Just, don’t use it for content

Torturing yourself for content isnt a good way to put yourself out there

[bold geode]

I mean unless I'm a masochistic MrBeast

[molten oasis]

I really hope you’re not that

[bold geode]

Nah
I'm not rich

[molten oasis]

Then don’t play Palkia yanmega

Just play the ray stuff

[spiral ridge]

God that made me laugh shut up you dog

[bold geode]

Oh I'm not using Yanmega lol

[molten oasis]

Good, now don’t play Palkia

[bold geode]

It's just gonna be once

[rustic mountain]

funny even w/ new forms palkia and dialga are still mid

[molten oasis]

“Just once” suffers for 1 team

[rustic mountain]

kyogre and groudon get new forms: instantly become vgc staples that centralize the surrounding meta around them
palkia and dialga get new forms: less useage of them now possibly then ever before and they have 0 impact on the meta

[torn parrot]

I might be a dog in my next life

[rustic mountain]

🤨

[chrome knot]

@spiral ridge wanna be hurt

[spiral ridge]

Uh
Elaborate?

[spiral ridge]

Why am I being hurt for this

[chrome knot]

i iv'd a 0spe bear :3

thas allll

people usually reset a shit ton for it, I just needed low atk

[spiral ridge]

Ohh I see

lol

[dense latch]

if it means anything this hurt me a lot

[foggy lodge]

Tera bug Blursa 100%

[chrome knot]

nova I did a moral bad

[bold geode]

Thing is I feel like Dialga is like SO CLOSE lmao
Like it's barely missing the mark

[bold geode]

The thing is it's not that I'm suffering cuz I care
I'm suffering cuz like it's not as ez
Besides shut up Mr suffers from Incineroar disease

[molten oasis]

valid

[chrome knot]

my gholdengo is a prozac addiction…

[spiral ridge]

[bold geode]

Guess it's not feeling....

||Good as Gold||

[chrome knot]

nono hes addicted and thats what makes him feel as Good as Gold

[molten oasis]

Okay

I’ve figured out how to manage incin

That jab didn’t need to happen man

[mint void]

@gentle badger Jo, About your Urshifu issue. If you have the Sword/Shield DLC and the S/V DLC you have 2 kubfu

[dull ibex]

@bold geodemore like dollaridiot

gottem

[solid frigate]

haha gottem ggs

[rustic mountain]

eh i jus dont see it

unless u mean regular dialga and then in 2 restricted itll prolly b ight

but the fact u give a mon like that a new form and it still isnt good is jus funny to me

[solid frigate]

2 restricteds would definitely make Dialga good

same with Palkia

[rustic mountain]

u hav to consider everything gets better in dual restricted including the already strong restricteds for single

[next stump]

it’s honestly hard to see what dialga will bring to the table

[rustic mountain]

palkias only good if ogre is

[next stump]

you’d wanna run it on a TR team so maybe caly-ice + dialga

[craggy dagger]

yeahhhh
it already gets melted to hadron engine draco
i mean-
dialga can prolly be a good tr setter

[next stump]

but i think caly ice would probably want miraidon more

[craggy dagger]

but like with the popularity of zama skyrocketing it’ll be hard ti play

[rustic mountain]

all the way

[solid frigate]

it depends

[next stump]

for the sleep immunity and ability to threaten water types

[craggy dagger]

oh that’s true

can’t be spored when trick room

[solid frigate]

Why do I suddenly against playing CIR even tho its good

[rustic mountain]

huh

[craggy dagger]

oh
why are you suddenly against running cir?

[rustic mountain]

why are u suddenly against playing cir even tho its good? idk ud hav to ask urself that if thats wat u mean

[solid frigate]

I dont want to play CIR miraidon lol

[craggy dagger]

-# bingo

[solid frigate]

I love Mirai but idk if i want to play CIR

i mean it makes me have an Excuse to fully invest in Iron Hands

[chrome knot]

cir is goat

[craggy dagger]

it’d be funny if the calyrex’s weren’t in the next generation and instead the box arts of generation 10 had calyrex level broken

[next stump]

ice rider is the most fun I had

[chrome knot]

this

[next stump]

nothing like getting a lance double KO

actual crack

[rustic mountain]

there will b other strong partners u dont necessarily have to but to deny urself outright playing potentially 1 of the strongest cores just because is weird to me

[craggy dagger]

ice rider is fun

though i kinda do prefer playing shadow rider

[next stump]

screens kyogre also very fun but you have to play the origin pulse lottery

[chrome knot]

nothing like living korai flare blitz in sun and revenge killing with lance for game

[solid frigate]

if i get a Single CIR OHKO with Iron Crown in birmingham regionals i will die peacefully

[craggy dagger]

ice rider is basically instant dopamine

[bold geode]

I mean both forms
I mean it's got like maybe a couple qualities going for it but that doesn't work for it cuz other restricted have like
Dialga has 2 things, other restricted have at least 3

I don’t really Use ROT when i use Dialga

I just use Draco

remember that underneath the right conditions, korai can just break through tera shell

not a nuke the same way miraidon is tho, generally u dont mind the -2 cuz ur taking a favorable trade, w/ dialga ur just not getting there

[solid frigate]

don’t give me PTSD please Nova

[rustic mountain]

nd then ur -2 and likely gta switch, lose a shit ton of momentum and then ur opponent prolly just rolls u

Should I drop sneasler and add Garchomp

[foggy lodge]

No

[solid frigate]

Why would you want to drop sneasler in the first place

[placid mist]

I dont wanna drop sneasler I just really like Garchomp

I might ditch the whole team and make a new one around Garchomp

[solid frigate]

I really wanna ask is it for the Lyco Tournament-

[rustic mountain]

rilla w/ chomp is kinda weird

[solid frigate]

or is it just experimenting

[solid frigate]

i mean unless you forfeit EQ

[rustic mountain]

u generally want to get to a point u can eq grassy terrain kinda doesnt synergize w/ that

[rustic mountain]

then u lose one of its biggest strengths

stomping is fine but u generally want atleast the option to click eq at points

[solid frigate]

exactly thats the point of losing it

[rustic mountain]

🤨

[solid frigate]

why am i speaking weird stuff today-

[rustic mountain]

like ur saying that is the tradeoff?

[solid frigate]

idk what i want to say rn lol

Like if you want to use Rillla and Chomp together then sacrifice EQ

So yeah Tradeoff kinda

[rustic mountain]

yea i jus dont see it as a good tradeoff

ur better either leaning into having terrain or ways to deal w/ it to make it not as big of a factor for ur ground type to click eq

same objective w/ like sand teams and excadrill

[solid frigate]

I mean at this point just keep sneasler

idk why you want to forfeit Sneasler for a Mon that does not synergise well with Rilla

[torn parrot]

My brain is fuzzy

[chrome knot]

i don’t have a brain

[cyan smelt]

Is overqwil any good

[rustic mountain]

not really, i used it on one of my variations of rain a month and a half ago i think. even then it wasnt doing too much i feel the way the metas gone its even less effective

[cyan smelt]

Damn so basculegion is basically a better swift swimmer in every way

[rustic mountain]

i mean as a swift swim mon? for sure

i was using it as an intimidate mon

[shadow wind]

I mean it has a really good typing

Access to moves like haze

It's not the worst mon in the world but right now its niche is pretty much non existent

[cyan smelt]

Maybe it'll be better in reg g v2 against stuff like caly s

[shadow wind]

Acid spray was cool

So I found out my mom's doctor's suspect Chikungunya Virus which thankfully isn't super serious

[bold geode]

As I Google it lmao

[mighty stump]

[bold geode]

Oof

This is literally like if mosquitoes gave you flu wtf

Aight let's try this again

@mighty stump if you want to talk mons for a sec, I was thinking about using Terapagos in a Japanese ladder tour and was wondering what your thoughts on it are, like should i run CM or Specs and what i should do

[bold geode]

Palkia team now locked in for tour, no turning back now

You can do it

[knotty mirage]

This set probably will only work on bss

[mighty stump]

Guess who got two of the Venu promos in 9 packs

[dull ibex]

@mighty stump Tofu do you like automation in games? If yes I found a cute game

[molten oasis]

Is there a new event?

[mighty stump]

Sure

[mighty stump]

Yeah Venu Promo solo event

[dull ibex]

Look up autonauts

[molten oasis]

Oh cool

[spiral ridge]

factorio becoming the god of fuck you put another route

[dull ibex]

Factorio is too complex

[spiral ridge]

yeah it is

[cyan smelt]

is fairy tera gholdengo becoming more common?

[knotty mirage]

Maybe i'm still seeing people use steel tera dhengo more at least

[plain drum]

The people involved with Factorio are fucking weird

[cyan smelt]

I feel like fairy might be picking up to deal with kingambit, sneasler and ttar

[spiral ridge]

i just said first automation game ik i dont play them i dont find them fun 😭

fucking uhh the 3D one where you build a rocket or some shit then

[cyan smelt]

Interesting, glimmora learns sand tomb and stealth rock, it could work if I used sand tomb to keep them from switching then yawn

[mighty stump]

You want something tanky and long-lasting

SRocks and trapping also is counter intuitive

[cyan smelt]

I'm thinking about trapping and yawn

[mighty stump]

Additionally your yawn + trapper needs Protect

[balmy glen]

Sounds like a DOU thing more than a VGC thing

[mighty stump]

Say that again to my Block Snorlax

I dare u

[cyan smelt]

Yeah probably not viable as it's not doing a lot of damage

[balmy glen]

Sounds like a DOU thing not a VGC thing

Though deadass almost went 6-4 with it cuz 3 games I almost won
But alas

[cyan smelt]

Unlucky monke

[solid frigate]

[bold geode]

Nah blame my poor life choices

[cyan smelt]

Why did you decide to use Palkia and was it origin or regular

[real prairie]

Oh FFS have I missed it again 😭

[solid frigate]

you still have time right

[real prairie]

Have to use RK9 right?

[rustic mountain]

[next stump]

yeah we got stuggart this weekend

[real prairie]

Can you get spectators passes for regionals?

[rustic mountain]

yes

[next stump]

yes you can, on RK9

[cyan smelt]

Yep

[real prairie]

Cool, was thinking for my fam

[next stump]

there's not a ton to do but if they're a pokemon fan, they will find activities

[cyan smelt]

It's expensive to fly to Perth but I think it'll be good experience

Not too many regionals in Australia

[rustic mountain]

yea even less this year then usual iirc

[cyan smelt]

They got rid of ocic

[rustic mountain]

yea

[cyan smelt]

And they don't even stream Australian regionals, ig it's too expensive for them

[bold geode]

Don't make me come over there

[bold geode]

Also no fuck that

I only used Palkia to get it out the way

[cyan smelt]

Why do you deliberately handicap yourself

[rustic mountain]

Hello everyone

[wise radish]

What good teams are there with iron hands for raids

[next stump]

wrong channel, check #tera_raids

[craggy dagger]

uhhh
#tera_strategy_discussion would prolly be a better place to go for in depth discussion

[wise radish]

I’m told to go every where

[next stump]

competitive is specifically for PVP battles, not raids

tera strategy is the place to go

[wise radish]

Somebody told me to go here

[next stump]

well they were wrong

[craggy dagger]

it’s just not the right channel n we don’t wanna clog up the specific channel too much

Gonna play the practice tournament today to see if I need to change anything for tomorrow

LONG LIVE ZAMAZENTA

[solid frigate]

TOP 5 ALL OF THEM???

[craggy dagger]

[knotty mirage]

Nice it can finally have same achievement as zacian in gen 8

[opal hill]

Hey, short question I need to Build a team who can play against ten friends. But it’s not that simple I need to use three Pokémon : Umbreon, Mimikyu, Espeon

I need to build around them, which Pokémon could I use ? And which stats/moves should they have ? Could someone help

[next stump]

its going to be tough to find help here for that since most people here play official battles and also the double battle format, and im guessing this is for singles as well

[opal hill]

It’s for both

[dense latch]

building for singles and doubles is very different

[next stump]

so you build a team of 6 that has to contain those 3 pokemon? also this ^

[opal hill]

Yes 😂 it’s a challenge about the new Nintendo switch 2

The winner gets it

And I want to win 😂😂

We pulled three random Pokémon and have to build around them

[next stump]

can you use any pokemon

[opal hill]

Yes any

We do BO3 in single and in double
The final is a BO5

[dense latch]

so can you just round off the team with mythicals and legendaries?

[opal hill]

Yes I think so, wait I ask them

They said only one

Only one legendary ore mythical

But, all of us made a new account and have time until the 6. December to build, lvl and train the team

[solid frigate]

this ruleset is just-

[opal hill]

Yeah I mean we are not competitive at all, that’s why I’m hear 😂

[solid frigate]

don't worry

i seen worse

[opal hill]

I’m very sorry to bother u guys 🙏

[dense latch]

so how is it split between singles and doubles? do you play the same opponent twice in each format?

[dense latch]

dw about it

[solid frigate]

its ok,just tell us what to do

i would recommend you build 2 teams

[opal hill]

Yes

[dense latch]

^ if it’s possible

[opal hill]

It is

[opal hill]

But with this three Pokémon

[dense latch]

and you can use one legendary and one mythical?

[opal hill]

Nah, ore

[dense latch]

alright

that’s probably the starting point

[opal hill]

Wait a sec 😂

I just started a new account

How do I get a Legi so fast

[dense latch]

lmao you have to play through the whole game? that’s an interesting rule

[opal hill]

Yes , we all had to

I have an eevee lvl 18
And eevvee on lvl 9 😂

[spiral ridge]

why is one not crowned-

[solid frigate]

Umbreon could be good in both Formats

[solid frigate]

teamsheet moment

[opal hill]

Okay that sounds good

[dense latch]

yeah it gets some good supporting moves, yawn, moonlight, snarl, foul play

[opal hill]

How do I make my evee to an ambreon again 🥲

In the night right ?

But wait, which stat is important on ambreon

I’d like to send u a picture of my Eevee where can I send it ?

[solid frigate]

if you have image perms then anywhere

[opal hill]

Nope 🥲

Can I send them in #screenshots_and_photography

[solid frigate]

idk not really

just talk a bit or just describe the spread or something

[opal hill]

I have a better idea 😂 I go in a call an make cam on

So

Wich stats does my umbreon

[dense latch]

HP Defense and Special Defense

what’s the nature on it?

[solid frigate]

https://pokepast.es/fecb29e7e86d93ea

@opal hill

[opal hill]

I need espreon btw 😂😂

[solid frigate]

Oh fu-

[opal hill]

I need to farm eevee none of them have a calm nature

[solid frigate]

https://pokepast.es/f8807acafb4829ad

[solid frigate]

i think you can collect mints by just on the ground or do Tera Raids

i forgot i haven't grinded for a while

[dense latch]

i wish this was just on showdown it would make things much easier

[solid frigate]

exactly

[dense latch]

trying to build a competitive team on a fresh account is hard

just feels inconvenient for no reason

[opal hill]

Ok I have to grind an meanwhile build my team 😂

[solid frigate]

i can't think of any comp that would work lol

[opal hill]

Yea 😂

[solid frigate]

at this point you could use any

But which Legendary or Mythical you want to use? You did say that before

[opal hill]

Nah

[solid frigate]

eh i mean the remaining 3 kinda depends on your choice

[dense latch]

ig you’d probably want to use the box legendary

korai/miraidon

[opal hill]

But what do I need 😂

Don’t I need a tank ore something like that 😂

[solid frigate]

i actually think Koraidon fits more than Miraidon in this Case

[craggy dagger]

oh
you have to be level 6 for that
it’s to reduce image spamming bots
getting to lvl 6 is pretty easy as well. you just have to chat here or anywhere else in this server to reach it quick

[opal hill]

Ah okay

[dense latch]

depends on what game they have really, iirc that’s the fastest legendary they can get in scarlet and violet barring trades/transfers

[solid frigate]

trades and probably just transfer from Home

[polar canyon]

The tcg pocket memes are like some kinda strange riddle

Is that how non competitive players feel looking at vgc memes

Are misty articuno decks like the archaludon + pelipper of tcg

[craggy dagger]

i meannnn
yes but no?
archapeli isn’t as gambl-y as misty articuno

[bold geode]

It's beautiful

[whole ibex]

Was Gholdengo relevant in Reg G? I’m guess no but I wanna check

[potent coyote]

kind of

ther ewas a 2-2-2 dondozo team that t8 worlds with gholdengo on it

and it was used on ice rider compositions

[whole ibex]

Mainly cause I have some shiny 0 attack Gimmeghouls that Im thinking of trading for to get some shiny legendaries or 0 attack or 0 speed CalyRex mons.

[next stump]

Gholdengo was solid, not as dominant as now but especially at the first few regionals it had good placements

I used it at Indy and got Top 32 and there were a lot of other ones above or near me

I’m not sure though if a shiny 0ATK would have the same value as a shiny legendary, depends on the person I suppose

[whole ibex]

I’m just desperate to obtain the shiny Galar birds 😭

[honest ravine]

Which move should i get on my delphox : mystical fire or fire blast
(My other moves are psychic,sunny day, magic room)

[next stump]

what type of battles are you playing, single or doubles?

[balmy glen]

No Pikachu EX is Arch Peli, Misty is Jumpluff Torkoal teams cuz it’s inherently broken but can be hit or miss

[mint void]

Shiny 0 attack gimmighoul? Couldnt u only get them from 1/4k ratio raids?

[solid frigate]

Mystical Fire mostly

But why are you using Magic Room-

do you mean Trick Room?

[bold geode]

@balmy glen Mr Zamazenta man I gotta ask you a question

[balmy glen]

what

[bold geode]

So idk if you know or not
But on stream, I noticed both Aaron Zheng and Michael Kelsch ran 4 HP EVs on Entei
Do you think they would run max max Entei or is it some weird bulk?

[patent marsh]

No

Mewtwo is

[potent coyote]

knowing how Michael does his EVs it was likely 4/244/4/4/252

[bold geode]

Maybe

[dense latch]

gardevoir giving mewtwo energies feels like arch eshot spa boosts

[balmy glen]

Ik Michael’s spread and ik Aaron got the team from him so lol

Can’t say much

[bold geode]

Damn
Once again the sauce is hidden lol

I can't even tell from the stream cuz all they did was either E Speed or die lmao

The world may never know chat

[balmy glen]

You’ll know towards the end of reg g ig lol

[bold geode]

Lmao ok

[foggy lodge]

I remember my Entei spread living life orb Bloodmoon

But i don't think they were max max Entei has a lot of HP so its better to invest in its defenses to get bulk

ur lookin at it just as is tho and not actually seeing the context around that, 29th out of 150th isnt bad, but its also a grassroots w/ mostly joe jabronis i dont think its quite enough accurate representation of the mon or its success rate. doesnt mean its definitively bad outright but is a small sample size that really isnt telling of the whole picture

Not really saying that
Just saying that's pretty good for first time coming back to Reg G with a middling restricted in a CTS BO1 tour vs people that base their Worlds qualification off of it

[rustic mountain]

fair

[bold geode]

I'll admit there ARE better options

[rustic mountain]

whose qualifying off a grassroots tho?

oh u mean cts bo1 in general

yea im not saying dont test shit out either

[chrome knot]

yeaaahhhh i had to walk home in snowstormmmm

i so cold bruh

[foggy lodge]

im going to stick with Miraidon

Decided, until i find another Zama team

[rustic mountain]

rnt u in canada too?

[craggy dagger]

bundle up silly-

[bold geode]

Also I was just stating that I did better than I thought cuz I only thought there was like 65 people in these things
And 29/65 is not as big as 29/150+

[chrome knot]

mhm

[foggy lodge]

Msybe Michael's team from Worlds or something like Tytar Zamazenta cuz i like the Tytar pick

[craggy dagger]

it’s cold and wet here

once u get it tho

[craggy dagger]

[chrome knot]

they keep saying once it clicks youll never look back

[rustic mountain]

honestly, tru

[craggy dagger]

balans is adddicting-

[chrome knot]

i uhm wore hoodie and a windbreaker(I was freezing by time i got home, laid in bed and nearly cried ngl LOL)

[bold geode]

She's learning the sacred texts lfg

[craggy dagger]

a windbreaker
do you not have a winter coat-

[rustic mountain]

i do some ho on occasion maybe a tr hybrid but yea honestly once i got balance i mainly jus play that now, ofc theres always room for improvement still

[craggy dagger]

windbreakers don’t help against the cold
they help against the
wind

[bold geode]

I default to balance mainly cuz it's basically "Back 2 Basics" for me but I just do whatever works lol

[rustic mountain]

yea like if im doin well w/ an ho team im gna stick w/ it

i jus find eventually i always wind up back on balance

[craggy dagger]

i think the one thing i can never get right in balance teams is the speed control

[rustic mountain]

yea that can be tricky

[craggy dagger]

prolly one of the more important ones to actually know

[rustic mountain]

usually i have non prankster tw or like some kinda icy wind/e webs. for cir team in reg g it was having tr

jus depends really

if u play it well enough sometimes u dont even need it (depending on the opposing team) cuz generally ur gna be taking more favorable trades and have that switching capability that those kinda teams lack

[bold geode]

Loved it in Reg D cuz you could essentially just not have any and still be fine

[molten oasis]

when sneasler was niche lol

[knotty mirage]

Yeah

Because nowaday 90% of sneasler run tera dark sneasler can't take phsycic move really well after all

[molten oasis]

sneasler takes hits?

[rustic mountain]

just a good neutral typing it has good natural defense and calm mind can supplement its sup par sp def

[molten oasis]

valid, still threw me off

[rustic mountain]

def not common but not too far out there

[knotty mirage]

Hmm tera bug archaludon

[cyan smelt]

damn both ursalunas are so strong

i think gholdengos are going tera fairy now because of gambit

[torn parrot]

I burnt myself out

[cyan smelt]

how so

[knotty mirage]

Huh this regional is really something first a bug tera archaludon and now this

[chrome knot]

bug arch is not that rare

[knotty mirage]

Fair but just never really seen one in my experience pushing on ladder most of them just have either fairy or flying

But i guess bug could work fairy and flying tera is just sucks on mirror match

[knotty mirage]

Is that data for showdown ?

[chrome knot]

sacramento regional

[tiny peak]

So on a team I'm building I don't really have a counter for archaludon, I do have chien pao but was gonna run sucker punch/throat chop/ice spinner/protect, should I drop throat punch for sacred sword?

[next stump]

archaludon wasn't a massive issue in regulation G compared to now

let me check the usage stats

[tiny peak]

@next stump ok cool let me know

[next stump]

he had like 8 or 9% usage at the first reg G tournament, indianapolis

and continually fell off after that down to 0.5% at the world championship

ladder is a different environment so there will definitely be more, but it's not like nowadays

[tiny peak]

@next stump would it be cool to drop throat chop for sacred sword?

[next stump]

yeah as long as you can hit the calyrexs

[tiny peak]

@next stump I should be able to with sucker punch I think

I'll post my team later today and see if it's ok since I'm just building it for switch ladder

[foggy lodge]

Sacred sword is droppable with another fighting type imo

[tiny peak]

@foggy lodge my team is gonna be ray/Roaring moon/chien pao/rillaboom/incineroar/gholdengo

[next stump]

no need for 2 dark moves on pao if you have roaring moon and incin to hit the calyrexs

[foggy lodge]

Yeh

[tiny peak]

@next stump awesome thanks guys

[bold geode]

[chrome knot]

fairy blast tatsu

screens gholdengo

[bold geode]

@dusty gate Chandelure

[dusty gate]

👀

Oh it's dead instantly.

[bold geode]

I will keep advocating that Acrobatics Sneasler is ass

[knotty mirage]

Tbh what you want to hit with acrobatic in this reg anyway

[foggy lodge]

FOLAGOR EN STREAM

YOEL RAMÍREZ THE GOAT

[autumn kelp]

just waiting on pokemon a Z

[foggy lodge]

can't defend this why didn't he electro shot

[mint void]

Who is Ray?

[bold geode]

Rayquaza
Regulation G talk

[mint void]

Yeah i know. Just sidnt get what ray was supposed to be.

[mint void]

In H? rillaboom, mostly amoonguss, sinistcha id say.

[knotty mirage]

The problem is you can just hit them with dire claw making acrobatis kinda usseles

[mint void]

Not ammonguss and sinistcha. Their 2ndary typing resistst poison

For about everything else dire claw is better. 2 mins isnt really enough too to make it valuable.

Its just really niche. There are reasons people point it out if someone makes a T32 with it.
You could also argue that it makes you abke to at least hit Gholdengo with something

It will deal basically no dmg still

[spiral ridge]

Acrobatics can also be for fighting types

[mint void]

Namely?

[spiral ridge]

Ape

[mint void]

There are 2 in the meta..1 is sneasler

Other is ape.

[spiral ridge]

I don’t think acrobatics is the best either but just saying what it can be used for

[mint void]

Idk. Its gimmicky but u have to give up fake out or protect

[spiral ridge]

Yeah

Def is

[mint void]

Can be good simply because no one expects it on ladder. And you still have fake out pressure.

Just is worse in VGC with team sheets available

[tiny peak]

@mint void rayquaza

[craggy dagger]

oh there’s regionals rn?

[chrome knot]

yeah day 1 just ended silly

[craggy dagger]

i just woke up

[rustic mountain]

eh i think it has use case tho not widespread

generally i think ud rather, coaching/protect/fake out/even throat chop over that in most cases

[timber falcon]

i have almost mastered rain 🌧️

the hike for 1800 is gonna be a pain though

not bad

[rustic mountain]

nice

[umbral olive]

almost mastered
You should see my rain teams. I've got six rain teams.

[timber falcon]

ive been on this specific team for months

stalwart life orb archaludon

[knotty mirage]

I wonder can howl zamazenta work ? i'm thinking of a team idea that i want to use next month

[dense latch]

DAY 2 WOOO

[umbral olive]

Do iron defense Body press instead

[knotty mirage]

I already have that set just want to try something different

[molten oasis]

There’s not really a reason to do that no

[torn parrot]

!!!!

YORU FUCJING GOAT KING NICE JOB

[dull ibex]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mAMigOfBSfk I think this is one of the best constructed teams ive ever seen paired with awesome playing

golurk sadly still sucks outside of wolfey

[torn parrot]

He’s okay ):

like he’s no ursaluna but

He hits pretty hard

[umbral olive]

I prefer cybertron zheng over wolfe🤷🤷🤷

[torn parrot]

I like both their vids

[umbral olive]

He needs way more than 200,000 subs. He needs 1,000,000 or more subscribers!

[dull ibex]

I think its probably because hes more serious and less content based then wolfey

[solid frigate]

i'm getting fucked

[umbral olive]

Honestly that's what I like about him because I'm the same way when it comes to competitive pokemon. I'm also way more in the serious side of things.

[dull ibex]

doesnt appeal to the masses in the same way

not that wolfe does either

comp is niche

[umbral olive]

Plus me and cybertron have the same favorite pokemon

[dull ibex]

I like watching wolfe because hes one of the best ever

[umbral olive]

I haven't watched wolfey a whole lot, but I like watching him battle in the official pokemon word championship fights when he competes

[languid hound]

Hey I need some help if anyone would not mind I don’t really have a lot of stuff I need and need help getting/learning ways to get the stuff I need

[next stump]

for single or double battles?

[dense latch]

if training a competitive team on the actual game is your issue, i would recommend starting with Pokemon Showdown - it’ll take away the need for grinding while offering the same experience

[umbral olive]

Hit me up. I can help.

[languid hound]

Doubles trying to do doubles

[umbral olive]

@languid hound pm me I can help

[next stump]

what do you need help with?

[umbral olive]

I got it. Imma help him 👍

[timber falcon]

His vids have a very nice narrative voice and tone

[dull ibex]

I think his energy is what gets views

[timber falcon]

Agreed

[dull ibex]

cybertron is a great channel as well

I love when wolfe is wacky but legit

because everyone plays hard teams and bombs with them lmao

no guard perish trap duo is wacky but insanely well built and piloted

then I run into it on ladder and crush them lmao

[next stump]

comparing wolfe's video quality between now and 4-5 years ago is hilarious

he used to just turn on the webcam and rant

[timber falcon]

But then it hits when you try something similar and realise you don’t have the world champ difference

[molten oasis]

I kinda enjoyed the ranting tbh

[next stump]

i loved it

some of my favorite videos nowadays are his side channel rants

[cerulean rose]

Hey anyone want to join my tournament, we need one more player before we can start 🤙

[bold geode]

He still rants now too
But honestly I think the production is amazing and they're very easy videos to just y'know
Throw on in background if you can't tell by this

[lean wind]

@bold geode

MONKE ITS ME

[bold geode]

Tf happened

Why are you
