u have whims tw like why r u cm

Wait lemme actually look at teams you sent
solid frigate
A tw draco play into mirai is tad ballsy bc so many fairy tera
i'd usuallt gamble between either i go for E-web or ya know
foggy lodge
tbh the pagos team that beat me at worlds is like anti zama
The Pagos you fought was Bold Pagos right
spiral ridge
Ah both are balance
solid frigate
idk why i put whims i'd just think its good for Matchup and Encore Lock
spiral ridge
i'd usuallt gamble between either i go for E-web or ya know
I mean both those seem like bad moves in this case you already set yourself to outpace why e web and why gamble Draco so often
solid frigate
i can try build a new team since i am already doing it rn
rustic mountain
idk why i put whims i'd just think its good for Matchup and Encore Lock
then why is pagos for a more balance based team w/ cm and not like specs or something? i think u gta just think more on ur team picks and why ur choosing those
spiral ridge
Sounds like you are trying

I think if you have Whimsicott Specs is better

then why is pagos for a more balance based team w/ cm and not like specs or some...
tell me about it (I built that team in School)

i'm gonna lock in with Pagos Chi Yu and some Balance on it
I need Damage Enabler honestly

I passed my team to Marcos M so I wanna see if he does good with it and I’ll make adjustments from there

fair enough
i feel like ur team did well enough it still is prolly in a good spot cause teams like the one that won, the cir team that got runner up and like mdbs zama variant have more spotlight rn so ur in that sweet spot of just enough under the radar
ofc ppl r still gna consider it but i doubt its gna be like overboard

Maybe a better CIR and zama answer?

i mean if you want me to use Hands i'm fine with it

Could swap oger to rock and grimm to water shifu that’s about only idea for tweaking
Hands would also be good
Try them out see which feels best ig
The team looks good grimm probably is fine idk why im apprehensive

muk smeargle players legitimately dont have to play the game at all and still win
pisses me off
the entire battle is scripted
strange fjord
time to make a very simple bot with muk smeargle team to show how scripted it actually is
strange fjord
Heavy Slam, Heat Crash and Body Slam ignores evasion on someone that used Minimize and doubles damage. Haze clears the stats. Taunt Smeargle to prevent it from redirecting and you can target muk
strange fjord
Heavy Slam and adjacent moves do not ignore evasion if they get the stat boosts with Psych Up tho. Careful there

do you have rapid strike?

With Minimize Substitute Knock Off and something more Muk and Fake Out, Wide Guard, Follow me and spore Smeargle
If Smeargle clicks fake out it can't click wide guard or follow me for example

Do you have Dozogiri Maya

well dont you have chi yu?

lead deedee and shifu and just surging strikes it

Just Surging Strikes Body Press

Surging kills Smeargle and i get atleast one Body Press into Muk
