[foggy lodge]

My teambuilder is like a library of teams from tournaments

[molten oasis]

That’s always been an issue

[rustic mountain]

my builder got wiped recently haha

[foggy lodge]

what how

[molten oasis]

Before like, reg h the usual goal was “get this guy to work consistently”

[rustic mountain]

i was resetting cookies and sd got wrapped up in it by mistake

[molten oasis]

That goal feels so much, weaker now

[left bobcat]

Ouch

[molten oasis]

maybe that’s why I’ve been so jumpy

[left bobcat]

Eh I didn’t even play much of the current reg until recently

[molten oasis]

I’ve usually seen potential in something, genuinely managed to get it to work and then I’d play something else

[left bobcat]

I took a long break

[rustic mountain]

i think ur downfall is not only being tunnel visioned on making that 1 thing work but u have to do in ur way or no way nd like living in such extremes genuinely gta be exhausting dude

u put such over the top restrictions on wat u can play how u can play it

[left bobcat]

Yeah the possibilities are- SORTA endless

[molten oasis]

no just add urshifu

[rustic mountain]

lol

[left bobcat]

Just burn it

[rustic mountain]

just make it reduced damage thru protect nd its fine

[molten oasis]

Fr

[foggy lodge]

i understand the feeling of not finding anything you feel comfortable with

[molten oasis]

I don’t play enough

It’s me not playing enough

[left bobcat]

Oh yeah especially since someone is bound to completely wall you

[molten oasis]

Reg f was the only time I DID play enough

[foggy lodge]

i mean its still like valid

[left bobcat]

I remember during reg f I got completely walled by one player and man that shit sucked

[molten oasis]

I got so comfortable with that team

[foggy lodge]

How many teams have i not dropped due to one game lol

[molten oasis]

Maybe I’m reaching for that idk

[foggy lodge]

anyways this is how my team goes https://pokepast.es/33c41f9e85655f24

maybe i go with clear smog amoonguss idk

[molten oasis]

regi Zac is good but why bother trying to do something my way it’s already built so there’s nothing to improve on

[rustic mountain]

tera types, evs, moves

items

[molten oasis]

Why should I do it the person who made it probably knows how to improve on it better than I do

Fuck I did it again

God, Alr I’m gonna just, chill for a bit

[rustic mountain]

yea if ur gna talk urself outta it b4 even attempting it idk but it seems to be a better start then aimlessly being in the builder

[molten oasis]

Spiraled again

[rustic mountain]

actually will improve as a player using a good team and might even be able to use that as a template to figure out how to build ur own version of a better/equivalent zacian team

[mighty stump]

You know technically something at some point has already been built by someone

[molten oasis]

idk if the goal has ever been to genuinely improve if I wanted to genuinely improve I’d probably play a caly but its likely better to start trying

[rustic mountain]

how can u even build a good team w.o genuinely improving as a player first?

[mighty stump]

You cN always review your winrate and itll put things into better perspective

[rustic mountain]

u cant skip steps

[molten oasis]

It’s usually 60-70%

[mighty stump]

Like maybe you realise its not so bad after all

Yeah so like

Thats fine

[molten oasis]

I did for 2 years

Since the start lol

[rustic mountain]

u skipped steps for 2 years?

[molten oasis]

There were probably points where I went to genuine get better in reg c-e but yea

I skip steps cuz I usually learn really fast

and now I’ve plateaued, and don’t play enough

And have the time lol

[rustic mountain]

nah u havent plateaued, u just think u have but thats fair its tough wen u dont have as much time. id say even more reason to just yoink teams in the meantime so u can just plug and play, get a better feel for the meta and what makes a zacian team good and have that inform your decisions going forward

[molten oasis]

just, ik the motivation will dip, but probably for the best

[rustic mountain]

reluctance to even give a chance to a successful version of something ur trying for is really limiting ur capability of understanding why the pieces fit and how that might translate to your own choices

even if not for the moment just going forward in general

[rustic mountain]

i think motivation is overrated, most of the time its a fleeting feeling that goes just as quickly as it comes. usually having the self discipline to stick with things winds up having long term payout that gives fulfillment. you gta actually enjoy those things tho haha

[molten oasis]

I like playing the game

[rustic mountain]

same dude, so play the game. why do u have to complicate it so much

[molten oasis]

Cuz I’m stupid

[rustic mountain]

nah

ur human

[molten oasis]

Idk why I do feels like it tends to happen

Without me realizing it at times

[rustic mountain]

i think u just put too much on urself on wat u have to do while also playing a game u enjoy. doesnt mean to give up those other elements u enjoy such as building ur own team but the all or nothing all the time just seems too extreme

[molten oasis]

Mm, I mean the WR is usually ok, regardless of what the team is

Unless the team’s a genuine joke

[rustic mountain]

its not enough some1 else figured out a good team w/ a mon u like using, YOU have to be the one to also be the one to figure it out, like its a bit over the top dont u think?

[mighty stump]

Discipline over motivation

[rustic mountain]

yes

[mighty stump]

Also

The way someone uses a mon may not be the way you wanna use it but its definitely an important building block that can’t be ignored

You play, you use the mon you like, you win some you lose some

Thats all there is

just depends on how far you wanna take it

[rustic mountain]

i dont disagree i just find the context surrounding what informs ur decision making on why things need to be so absolute important, like really figuring out why all the add ons on top of just playing the game are necessary at every point of playing the game. i started vgc wanting to play my favorites too then realized if i actually wanted to get better that wasnt going to be the case too often. and ive said that here a bunch, ofc it matters wat u want out of the game first and foremost
i think if u take it more serious though theres some things u gotta come to grips with and everything isnt only on your terms

[mighty stump]

Work with what you can control and just accept the rest

Coming from the dude that likes intentional absolutes

Like ya’ll have watched me dole out advice for like year+ now

[molten oasis]

even if I take it more serious, I’m still gonna play the dog lol, I’ll go play the umbreon stuff probably.

I’ll keep all that in mind idk if my mindset will fix very quick

It probably won’t that’s not how it works lol

or maybe try Regidrago with Zac cuz that’s at least proven to work

I’d prefer pao tho, I think the damage boost helps it in tougher spots

maybe the confidence comes from being capable of building teams but I feel like I’ve lost that skill lol

[mighty stump]

I mean its not like its an easy skill

[molten oasis]

It’s not but I felt like I got better

[mighty stump]

Just simplify things, don’t overcomplicate it

[mighty stump]

Thats fine

[molten oasis]

With the worse teams I still did like, okay

[mighty stump]

Always just refocus your perspective man

Unless you have a 50-55% winrate you’re doing fine

and technically, as long as its above 50, it’s positive

Lol

[molten oasis]

I think the Kyurem teams always did ok

https://pokepast.es/fb552af6b89e2007 it’s something, just, can’t be that hard on myself

[bold geode]

Defo not me

[torn parrot]

i feel like thsi format is like

torture

like phsyical pain

like i wanna kill myself when i play it

thats why ill probably quit

[mighty stump]

Lmao

The reverse is occurring

[dense latch]

yeah idk how many caly s dozo teams i can take anymore

[bold geode]

And WiFi went out yeah that's enough Rivals for tonight

[molten oasis]

Well, the stuff I got is working ok

Pao shifu Zac feels as strong (for it) as ever

I got completely fried by p2 Ursa

[torn parrot]

😔

[bold geode]

Ooh boy lmao

[molten oasis]

It was also tera fairy sub Ursa

[bold geode]

Lol

[molten oasis]

And there’s the impossible to beat clef CSR team

sucks

[mighty stump]

Yawn is unironically so good into that team

I think I would weigh my MU 80-20 favoured for me

[molten oasis]

That’s just not what I’m playing rn

Trying Regidrago stuff, I beat it a game later

Had perfect pressure with Zac and shifu for a turn and turned the game around

[molten oasis]

Dondozo bruh

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2025regg-2265827846-wszxaj647023ch0ssr7r0vlwzsbzx94pw

This is working pretty good so far

[violet mason]

is the move "squash" just for competitive double battles?

[knotty mirage]

Yeah just like follow me

[craggy dagger]

squash?

[charred saddle]

its different tho?

[charred saddle]

basically makes it last

its very different from follow me

[craggy dagger]

that’s a doubles move-
ain’t no way you’re able to use that in singles

[charred saddle]

but yeh double thing

[craggy dagger]

like how follow me in a singles battle format is basically useless

[charred saddle]

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2025regg-2265864993-zdbyvr39kic747ei7ikimx4zei1a26dpw

such bullshitery

missing a 95% feels bad man

[knotty mirage]

So i really want to use regidrago when next reg is out on cart ladder what do you guys think of this team ?
https://pokepast.es/2340ebe783936006

[charred saddle]

personally doesnt like choice item on drago

its either u play fast or slow and force them take hits

and if they do hit with prio or something, u can just change move

if ur locked into energy with like 40% it doesnt do anything

[knotty mirage]

It's for the fast one using full trick room seem's bad idea too me

[charred saddle]

id rather play a tailroom team

[knotty mirage]

Fari should takes care of the prio problem

[charred saddle]

drago speed is also like

in an awkward spot

[knotty mirage]

That's why i give it scarf

[charred saddle]

i mean if u know what u put urself into

its fine, its like the team itself is like TR centric

CIR BM, amoonguss

[knotty mirage]

Beside if the openent hard focus on drago i can get free trick room set up

And if drago died i can get free switch in too fari or ursa still good outcome for me

[craggy dagger]

ooof :(((

[charred saddle]

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2025regg-2265869889

fuck you perish trap

[craggy dagger]

i would just use the tried and true dragon fang tera steel blast set

scarf is fine but if you’re gonna be choiced into draco meteor or a low powered dragon energy, you’re either forced to sac or lose momentum by swapping and potentially losing the swapped mon

[knotty mirage]

I guess i can switch draco meteor with dragon pulse then

[craggy dagger]

ehhh
having draco meteor is good since your boosted base power

but on a mon that needs to protect to gain momentum, i wouldn’t scarf it

at best if you were really wanting to choice drago, i’d specs it

[tiny karma]

Ability: Shadow Tag

Prevents opposing Pokemon from choosing to switch out, unless they are holding a Shed Shell, are a Ghost type, or also have this Ability.

Sableye version 4.28.1

[craggy dagger]

oh….
shadow tag is ghost type or shed shell…
for some reason i thought flying types could swap out

that would be arena trap iirc

[tiny karma]

Wow I died? Thx for spreading false information

[gentle crag]

drayagedrago has given 1 Gen Rep to vibez4420

[molten oasis]

[charred saddle]

lost 2 games today kek

15-3 now

but at least today i played against like normal teams unlike yesterday

[craggy dagger]

15-3 on a garticuno team is pretty good imo

[knotty mirage]

Smh

[dull ibex]

I hate having a cat

Makes so much more paranoid

[real prairie]

maybe i need wide lense over clear amulet 🙃 https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2025reggbo3-2265905237

[chrome knot]

i mean paonite is just broken, i played csr with 0 speed control and positioning was hard

also why are u up its 5am

go back to bed

[torn parrot]

I’m guilty of this too

my problem is is that I keep wanting to outspeed things

Till I’m just max speed

[craggy dagger]

i haven’t slept yet

my mind hates me so i’ve been using showdown as a distraction

better to get practice rather than lay around hating myself for everything

[chrome knot]

what da hell

[craggy dagger]

too many games with terapagos n garticuno

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2025regg-2265877105-am8syxjd80mnni64qo6ezlofhjiyzo2pw

yeah i watched turn 1 and almost threw up ngl

wowza what a turn

[craggy dagger]

yup-

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2025regg-2265717794

this also happened last night

[torn parrot]

This format stresses me the fuck out

[craggy dagger]

teambuilding got a whole lot easier though

playing games got quite harder with the addition of legendaries back

[torn parrot]

It’s the battles that stress me out

I enter a battle see I’m up against all mons to feed my headache

[craggy dagger]

i don’t blame you
90% of the mons you’re up against are just a nuke button

[torn parrot]

This is so real 😔

Reg G is nuke before you get nuked

[chrome knot]

ngl when u clicked mir my brain went bowling

csr died and the pins were knocked down

[craggy dagger]

the only insurance i have against the nuke buttons is uhhhh
tera shell

[craggy dagger]

glad you enjoyed that dopamine boost

[chrome knot]

its hard to find my footing in making good decisions again ngl

i just feel like im struggling lol

[craggy dagger]

reg H threw everyone off with a low power format after a relatively high powered format

i still remember the first 2 weeks of reg H and how everyone was scrambling to see what could work

[chrome knot]

first 2 weeks of reg h i was clicking after you eruption🫡

[torn parrot]

Same here I was getting so used to having room to breath

Now every turn is life or death it’s a hard adjustment

[craggy dagger]

[molten oasis]

https://pokepast.es/e02311609d34c8a6 enjoying this

I think it’s gonna be bad into CIR when that mu happens

I like Zac pao torn and drago tho, solid core

[mighty stump]

You can always consider super offense Pao

Still might not be great for you against Incin if that was one of the complaints

[molten oasis]

You mean the life orb pao sets?

I think the extra damage would be nice, but I tend to utilize the sash

@mighty stump you think hearth over moonguss would be ok or do I need it for CIR?

[mighty stump]

yur

[mighty stump]

You can use that too. I think Amoongnuss slot for you here is flexible

[molten oasis]

Is CIR a fine mu with it?

[bold geode]

Is Lorb Pao really a play? Kinda like that Sash

[molten oasis]

That’s my only concern

[mighty stump]

I like it with Zama/Shifu but thats me

I also ran it with Stellar

[mighty stump]

Just be aware of the Tera Grass ones no

[molten oasis]

I think I’d go ghost regardless of the item for zama mu

[mighty stump]

I like Hearthflame in general

[bold geode]

https://tenor.com/view/key-and-peele-son-of-abitch-upset-gif-4276606

I might be in

[mighty stump]

lol

[molten oasis]

ay ay ron

[bold geode]

B la kay

Pree sent

[molten oasis]

Uhm, I’ll try Hearthflame

I kinda wanna be using ogerpon this format cuz I like it

Regardless of the form

[mighty stump]

Hearthflame best form > Grasspon after

Oh wait

Rockpon then Grasspon

There we go

[molten oasis]

Was gonna say rock no? lol

[bold geode]

So Wellspring fell off got it

[molten oasis]

That’s been established for a while monke lmao

[bold geode]

It got top 8 at Worlds just saying

[molten oasis]

https://pokepast.es/bc80dce1ead55a12

No one said it was bad lol

[mighty stump]

Who cares about placement, just ball 😎

[molten oasis]

lol

That look ok?

may get, wrecked by fire CIR

[craggy dagger]

so true-

focus energy hearthflame shreds through everything

[molten oasis]

I mean, I need to learn CIR regardless lol

That mu sucks to fight

[bold geode]

Tofu we should totally work on Rayquaza together sometime

[molten oasis]

Huffing Ray copium I see

[craggy dagger]

doesn’t zacian solve a non tera ice rider though?

[molten oasis]

non tera

they always tera

[chrome knot]

grassy glide

close combat

anyone else or?

[craggy dagger]

huh?
no im basing my if and elif statements off of this team

[chrome knot]

yeah im the cir player

so im gonna click grassy glide with rilla

& close combat with scarf shifu into pao

:3

[charred saddle]

ill be the arceus player and do judgement on all of ur mons

gg ez

[craggy dagger]

THATS MY QUESTION

[chrome knot]

YA CANT

[craggy dagger]

[chrome knot]

IM GONNA SET TR AND UR GONNA LIKE IT

[craggy dagger]

not if my focus energy guaranteed ivy cudgel crit ogerpon has anything to say about it

[molten oasis]

almost like i was spot on about CIR mu being shit

[chrome knot]

tera fire trick room + fake out urshifu

[craggy dagger]

not if my gholdengo is in place of shifu

[coarse sedge]

paldean clodsire best moveset??

[chrome knot]

go ahead girl youll be doing even less and instead ill jus uturn into incin..

[craggy dagger]

who said i’m clicking make it rain-

i’m clicking substitute

[chrome knot]

right ur junk ass set

[craggy dagger]

meanie

[chrome knot]

so tr is set for free and we reposition also for free

man im good at text chat pokemon

[craggy dagger]

yes-
and i give you the win

[chrome knot]

[molten oasis]

maybe i'll go cloak+taunt shifu to prevent incin+CIR lead, and then tera grass for amoonguss

[craggy dagger]

that sounds good-
though i’d be wary of redirection in terms of indeedee or follow me

[chrome knot]

cant i just

pin with lance+rilla

[molten oasis]

i dont know how to solve this fucking match up

[craggy dagger]

can’t i just shadow rider nuke it-

[chrome knot]

LMAO

[molten oasis]

hearth shifu lead actually isnt that bad

idt there's a way to shut that down unless they have cornerstone

or no CIR lead

[craggy dagger]

or they have fake out pressure

[molten oasis]

but im cloak shifu

[craggy dagger]

fake out the hearthflame and preserve tera

[molten oasis]

the point is to shut off tr

t1

[craggy dagger]

it’s hard to be perfect into every MU

but that’s why this thing exists

[molten oasis]

yea but i dont have a mu into CIR rn

[craggy dagger]

https://tenor.com/view/terapagos-pokemon-pokemon-terapagos-liko-pokemon-liko-gif-11019987416015928811

[molten oasis]

im trying to figure that out

[craggy dagger]

wouldn’t a zac shifu lead be better then-

[molten oasis]

no cuz you can hit shifu with rilla

taunt does nothing if CIR protects and bolt/rilla kills shifu

and most CIR team's have had incin so i lose my boost t1

regardless this mu sucks

https://pokepast.es/7a3f16ab2f17728b

[craggy dagger]

ngl i feel like you could keep horn leech

[mighty stump]

Then ut just sounds like a Shifu/Pao lead or a Shifu/Regidrago lead

Lol

I really don’t think you need Sacred Sword on Pao at all

[torn parrot]

You and everyone both 😔

[mighty stump]

Snorlax >

[real prairie]

@mighty stump

[torn parrot]

The thing that’s frusterating about cir is his other other annoying leads that’s arnt trick room. So preparing for all really spreads you thin

Could be up n ready for room but then blam you get smacked by scarf Urshifu and peliper

At least that’s the annoyance that I have with it

[craggy dagger]

i think it’s been said before but-
everyone is preparing on how to stop trick room while trick room players are figuring out how to avoid and guarantee trick room-
it always feels like they’re one step ahead

[molten oasis]

It’s helped with Zama

[craggy dagger]

doncha have hearthflame for that?

[mighty stump]

That’s cause the whole thing w TR is that you’re going in on their terms

[mighty stump]

Use anchor mons

[dense latch]

i feel like throat chop may improve the cir mu, it’s dark damage pressure without it being able to be blocked by Farig/ just using TR, either you get a ton of damage onto it or you force them to tera

Zamazenta rise up

Still stuck on MDB team cuz idk what else to do tbh but uh
That team easily pressures the CIR Eleki variants if you just know wtf you're doing

Think the team has Farigiraf in all versions of that which they like
GOTTA BRING

As for Yuta's it seemed somewhat manageable too
The real one I'm worried about facing though is Hirofumi's take

[near crag]

Hey, I’m prepping a team for the Fortaleza regionals, and I’m kinda stuck. I’ve been running dnite for a while, and I really believe in its potential with chien pao. I put urshifu w to pair with pao, farigiraf to add some speed control, fire ogre to counter mane, and some redirection, and lastly zacian, to help out with the type matchups, and it also pairs well with pao. Thinking about it, it seems solid, but I never managed to get out of ultra ball tier with it, it’s inconsistent. I built it a couple months ago, but going over the whole thing today, I can’t change much. If you got any ideas, please let me know. Thanks in advance

[mighty stump]

Team too honest, Zacian just is a weaker restricted compared to whats good

Particularly you should already be prepping lines into CSR/Miraidon/CIR

do you have a paste or anything

Additionally:

• Farigiraf on the team as your speed control is extremely out of place considering the speed tiers of all the mons there.
• Entire team suffers against a well-played Incineroar

[near crag]

So what do you suggest me to add?

[left bobcat]

Spore

[near crag]

And what should I take out?

[torn parrot]

Yeah

Also @balmy glen I was so wrong bro, Flutter Icy Wind is like fuckin LeBron in the Zama MUs

[torn parrot]

FUN FACT I WAS WRONG BECAUSE TIRN HAS THE EXACT SAME JUMP POINT

GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

They’re both screwed

But…

[chrome knot]

no ?

[torn parrot]

I wa wrong emmmaa I was wrong I assumed

Deeeeleteeee

Actual fun fact

Actual fun fact was that I was wrong

Torns cannot have 164 speed it’s impossible

[cyan smelt]

Is cobalion just better zamazenta because it doesn't take up a restricted slot

[torn parrot]

This is my new accurate and true fun fact

[molten oasis]

It’s worse regardless of the spot lol

[mint void]

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2025regg-2266762241

This wasnt fair

Holy

[near crag]

What goes well with paonite? It’s hard to get other physical attackers that don’t fold under flutter mane

[next stump]

scarf urshifu can be nice

[chrome knot]

i just tried between 149 and 163 and got nothing worth noting

[mint void]

Imma been an ass 1 sec

[mighty stump]

Its likely you lack damage output since you’re not running Banded Dnite, and without Scarf Urshifu you might have trouble dealing with faster targets as well since you’re trying to tempo hard with the team and you can’t really pressure without speed control

Close Combat is also wrong on Zacian

[mint void]

Ik only lvl 50 based but eh

Thought it was funny. For me at least

[mighty stump]

Again, I don’t think Farigiraf is providing much at all for you here

Team is Incin fodder

[near crag]

I agree that Farigiraf doesn’t work here, but any ideas on replacements? Maybe something with speed control, and a incin check

[mighty stump]

Previously when Drago was trying to run Zacian it was suggested to have a look at either Kian’s team with Umbreon or the Regidrago variant

I agree with the sentiment those are correct variants

I think it would be best to review those teams to see why they work

[near crag]

Where can I find those?

[mighty stump]

Cause you also mentioned general inconsistency

Which is likely a combination from team/pilot issues rather than just team stuff, so eliminating one would benefit the other

@molten oasis can you pull up Kian’s team and the Regidrago team for Canela

[molten oasis]

yur

https://pokepast.es/6d50573f2759be1d

[mighty stump]

You have to be able to pressure very well and find the correct time to bring Zacian-C in due to it’s very straightforward nature

[molten oasis]

i dont have grants team and im a marvels march gimme a minute

[near crag]

I do need to amp up my gameplay, I’ve played about 5 regulations up to now, and neither any events participated, or getting to master ball

[near crag]

That seems nice, torn here is really good, too

[mighty stump]

If you have replays, you can always ask for reviews

I would say irregardless of the team playing the best with what you have at the time is best practice

[molten oasis]

i have MY regidrago team

but grants is better, lemme find it

[silent sedge]

Is it possible to get a “big” shiny rayquaza from raids

[mint void]

I guess

@silent sedge ask in #wo-chien_raids

[near crag]

Really liked the three teams, and based on them I got two ideas that seem to fit really well, to me: https://pokepast.es/87813e0b51b44e96, and by the way, the dnite vest is really just because I don't wanna run rillaboom, nor multiscale, but the other concerns you've pointed out seem to be fixed. Tell me some thoughts on this one, if you will...

[molten oasis]

i dont understand the dnite or the bloodmoon

sacred sword or swords dance over close combat

on zac, its not worth it

[near crag]

this i forgot to change

[molten oasis]

and helps the zama mu

lando I would be better over bloodmoon

[near crag]

but how do I deal with incin, then?

Thats the only reason I'm running it, if you have any other ideas, I'd love to hear 🙂

[mint void]

With lando?

Huh

[near crag]

Just noticed what I was saying, long day

[near crag]

Wait, but just noticed ice types became a issue

I can't use either, really

Maybe glimmora?

here: https://pokepast.es/7f5946d9dc390370

[molten oasis]

incin

sorry lando and shifu deal with it

the regidrago teams have regidrago to deal with them

you try to get zacian in a position where incin cant come in safely or incin is dead

[molten oasis]

why is dnite there

ice being an issue is fine you're scared of chien pao really, which you have shifu and zacian to deal with

the only way to really be using dnite is band imo, and dnite isnt that good in this format, regidrago would be better in that spot

[near crag]

It's the whole point of the team, espeed spam, goes well with almost every mon in the team, and band seems like a good idea, in general

[near crag]

I just dont think it provides as much, and gets checked by pelliper, or any wide guard user

[bold geode]

Dnite sucks ass in this format ngl

Had like the FATTEST dip off

[mighty stump]

Run Entei then lul

I don’t think Dnite sucks

[bold geode]

This man speaks truth

[mighty stump]

Favourable into Watershifu

[near crag]

Also good movepool, and stats

[mighty stump]

Well

Movepool is kinda meh

Half the time you’re clicking either ESpeed or Outrage

[molten oasis]

Eh

[bold geode]

The only reason I'd really say Dnite over Entei is cuz like
A LOT OF TEAMS I FIGHT HAVE RAIN LIKE FUCK YOU

[mighty stump]

Lol

[bold geode]

Lemme spam Sacred Fire in peace you fucks

[mint void]

Agree

[bold geode]

But then we just throw Watershifu at em so yeah

[mighty stump]

I like how you and Drago aren’t feeling Dnite meanwhile it’s sitting in the builder of one of 3 main teams for me

[molten oasis]

With zacian?

[mighty stump]

Nah

With Zacian all I need is Urshifu/Pao

[near crag]

With what tho?

[molten oasis]

Dnite also doesn’t feel like it does anything for Zac imo

That shifu isn’t

[mighty stump]

Type flip

[bold geode]

Yeah cuz you make shit work somehow

[molten oasis]

Nobody uses dnite with Zac

[mighty stump]

I mean I play my Pao/Shifu differently as well lol I don’t know if itll be for you

[bold geode]

Actually yeah Dnite is a good type flip for Zac

[molten oasis]

we found a reason and my points were dumb

[mighty stump]

But Torn/Flutter/Amoonguss

[bold geode]

Only problem is depending on the set you can't do fuck shit to Steel types

[molten oasis]

play dnite idc anymore

[solid frigate]

[bold geode]

[molten oasis]

[mighty stump]

Have you considered the concept of differing opinions and not necessarily viewing things so black/white as right/wrong?

[bold geode]

That

[solid frigate]

That and do not be pessmemitic(HOW I STILL CAN'T SPELL THAT

[mighty stump]

I literally have an entire track record of Yotam disagreeing with all of my team concepts lmao

[vernal shadow]

I tried a set for mew on showdown ages ago and I wanted to recreate it in a modern game but it requires roost which isn't a tm. Would it have been possible to get roost through transfering from certain games or deleting a move and giving it was it silver powder? Or is it just incapable of having roost in the current gen ?

[mighty stump]

If it can’t learn Roost current gen you can’t get it

No clue what mon you’re referring to though

[molten oasis]

No cuz I’m the village idiot

[mint void]

If it cn learn it u need to use mirror herb and picknick with a mon with roost

[mighty stump]

Go fix your attitude

[molten oasis]

I’ll sure try

[vernal shadow]

Does that work with legendary and mythics ?

[mint void]

Yes

[mighty stump]

Do or don’t cause I haven’t seen trying. For the last few days I just see a back and forth

[mint void]

U arent breeding just teaching. A move@vernal shadow

[mighty stump]

We literally had this conversation yesterday

[vernal shadow]

True just always saw that being used for egg moves so I wasn't sure if it was a thing that just worked

[molten oasis]

Yea and I forget things in an instant

[mint void]

Well it doesnt. He has to be able to learn the move this gen

[near crag]

If you zombify, drink a weakness potion, and eat a golden apple, you might aswell not be it, but you'll have regular prices

[vernal shadow]

Looks like it's not possible. I used mew with max hp and defence with body slam, stored power, calm mind, roost and the weakness policy. Was quite fun. Doesn't really work with rest.

[bold geode]

Read the room

[vernal shadow]

It lost roost due to no move tutor

[left bobcat]

No I can’t put down the cup

[knotty mirage]

I wonder if i should push on current reg so i will have easier time when reg G come out but i really hate sneasler

[molten oasis]

Don’t we all

[knotty mirage]

True oh well i guess i could try hopefully i don't throw my controller because of dire claw

[molten oasis]

hopefully

[mighty stump]

Meanwhile me in-game at Poke Ball tier cause I cannot be bothered to play cart nor do I have the time

[molten oasis]

why didn't you play reg h?

was it a lack of time mostly?

[knotty mirage]

Prolly lack of time tbf i only play cart ladder to give my shiny mon master rank ribbon or just to take break from shiny hunting all together

[dull ibex]

Skill issue

[knotty mirage]

Btw tofu what do you think of this team that i prepare for next reg ?

[chrome knot]

ough ive made the most criminal team possible im so sorry to all my friends and family that pair into me

[molten oasis]

https://tenor.com/view/titanfall2-ronin-rudstar-gif-25268597

im crying

[mighty stump]

Lack of time, immensely bored with it

It was stale and left a bad taste in my mouth

[molten oasis]

valid

[mighty stump]

Its ok ig, not many options to guarantee TR set up

[mighty stump]

Is it the same sauce

[mighty stump]

I distinctly remember you telling me how you hate I’m good at the game make up ur mind god

[knotty mirage]

Isn't caly already good enough to set up trick room i can pair it with drago or flutter to pressure my openent at least

[dull ibex]

Nuh uh

[mighty stump]

• Fake Out
• Taunt
• Double up

[mighty stump]

You’re a pork meatball

[dull ibex]

You're a dumbbo pasta

[knotty mirage]

Fake out easily be solvable by armor tail taunt depend on which mon use it double i mean not sure if my openent want to take dragon energy or dazzling gleam to face

Especially when they need too predict if my drago have scarf

[lofty tartan]

Dragon Energy doesn't KO Calyrex, so it'll get the TR up there if you don't double it.

Meanwhile Glacial Lance does get the ko on Regidrago.

[solid frigate]

wait it does not OHKO-

[lofty tartan]

[solid frigate]

just how-

HOW BULKY IS THAT ICE HORSE

[lofty tartan]

Extremely.

100 base hp and 130 base SpD go a long way

Regidrago has a base 100 spAtk

[solid frigate]

so you are telling me that crown can potential one shot the horse but not Lorb Regidrago

[lofty tartan]

Why would you Lorb Regidrago lol

[solid frigate]

idk i'm just saying-

it does OHKO

[lofty tartan]

Crown has Tachyon Cutter, which is a pretty strong move, and higher base offensive stats then Regidrago.

[solid frigate]

oh yeah i forgot it has fuck ton of multipliers-

[lofty tartan]

252+ SpA Life Orb Dragon's Maw Regidrago Dragon Energy (150 BP) vs. 244 HP / 0 SpD Calyrex-Ice Rider: 138-164 (66.9 - 79.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

Just for the sake of an example with Lorb

But I think Fang/Plate are ideal

252+ SpA Life Orb Dragon's Maw Regidrago Dragon Energy (150 BP) vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Calyrex-Ice Rider: 138-164 (78.8 - 93.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

Even zero investment survives.

But yeah, Caly-I is dummy thick

[solid frigate]

yeah its just unfairly tanky-

[lofty tartan]

[next stump]

good morning

[lofty tartan]

Morning Dillon. My end of day

[next stump]

LOL polar opposite schedules

[lofty tartan]

The life of an overnighter xD

[knotty mirage]

I mean if i face calyrex ice mirror i prolly just let them do it and just switch out regidrago

The thing is i use caly i beside regidrago for pressure

So i can get trick room up

I'm refering to this team

[lofty tartan]

Regidrago has middling speed and if he takes damage before moving, his damage can drop considerably. That and he doesn't really offer anything that protects the Calyrex or enables it. It just does big booma. Seems rough.

[knotty mirage]

https://pokepast.es/2340ebe783936006

[lofty tartan]

Ah. Scarf.

[knotty mirage]

That's the team i plan to use next month reg

[lofty tartan]

I've played a lot of Regidrago so far and I gotta say, I don't think Scarf is quite the play.

[knotty mirage]

I mean i do combo it with caly for pressure could work well

[lofty tartan]

Locking into Energy, missing a ko and taking damage is bad

[knotty mirage]

Especially if my openent do need to know if i use scarf drago

[knotty mirage]

I mean if it mean trick room up that's seem's good trade too me

[lofty tartan]

If you're speaking to just the gotcha factor of a mon that doesn't usually run scarf running it in CTS, I dunno if I really wanna speak to that 🤷

[knotty mirage]

Fair enough will just see if this team gonna do well next month

[chrome knot]

noooo
