[gentle crag]

is Flack good at vgc
:8ball: It is certain

[molten oasis]

-8ball but is he great?

[gentle crag]

but is he great?
:8ball: It is decidedly so

[left bobcat]

Yippie

Great is an overstatement tho

[molten oasis]

but what the 8ball speaks is true

[left bobcat]

I’d get folded if I went up against someone like Connor/maya

[twin kindle]

@chrome knot she won in our super serious tie breaker world final championships of epicness, she is clearly the better gamer 💅🏻

[molten oasis]

Damn

[cyan smelt]

I'd probably lose if I went up against anyone from here tbh

[twin kindle]

[dapper crag]

Hey quick question, I want to make a competitive team with Maushold on it but I don’t know what to do after because Baton Pass is banned and Palafin is banned too so… any help?

[next stump]

are you playing Singles OU?

[left bobcat]

This sounds like singles to me

We don’t do singles around here-

I think

[dapper crag]

Just in general tbh, any team

Just wanna use Maushold competitively

[torn parrot]

Can’t you just use it to tidy up pop bomb

[left bobcat]

Yeah

[dapper crag]

But how do I make it better than just that? Like I need 6 Pokémon, what else do I do after that 😂

[left bobcat]

With BULLET SEED

[dapper crag]

My go-to is Maushold + Palafin sweep but Palafin is banne

[left bobcat]

PEW PEW PEW PEW

[dapper crag]

Yes that’s also on there

Wait lemme send the build

[next stump]

palafin is not banned

it’s only banned if you’re playing singles on pokemon showdown

[craggy dagger]

OU palafin is banned yeah-
but that’s showdown smogon formats

[left bobcat]

Yeah

[torn parrot]

You can’t baton pass with it anymore so that’s off the table can probably give it a utility move like encore

[left bobcat]

Yeah

[dapper crag]

So it’s not banned in competitive?

[torn parrot]

Oh

[left bobcat]

Oh

[torn parrot]

This in game?

[next stump]

it depends what you mean by competitive

are you playing the switch game

[dapper crag]

Like in tournaments

[left bobcat]

Mmmmmm

[torn parrot]

Is this on showdown

[next stump]

in person tournaments?

[dapper crag]

Yes

[dapper crag]

I only use showdown for rebuilding

[torn parrot]

If it’s in game nothing is banned

[dapper crag]

Set*

[dapper crag]

No not like that, I mean tournaments

[torn parrot]

besides mythicals

[dapper crag]

Maushold-Four @ Loaded Dice
Ability: Technician
Tera Type: Normal
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature

• Tidy Up
• Population Bomb
• Bullet Seed
• U-turn

[torn parrot]

There’s only two places tournaments can be in Game or showdown

[left bobcat]

I haven’t the slightest clue about what’s going on

[dense latch]

use wide lens on maushold not loaded dice

[left bobcat]

I know nothing about singles

[dapper crag]

What’s the difference

In terms of aid

[dense latch]

population bomb isn’t like other multi hit moves, it performs an accuracy check for each of the hits. if one misses, the move ends, so you want to increase the accuracy rather than use a loaded dice, which will simply make it hit at least 4 times

[torn parrot]

I may be mistaken but I think both wide lens and loaded dice interact with population bomb

[dense latch]

what’s important is that if you use wide lens you have just over a 90% chance to hit 10 times

[next stump]

in person tournaments are 2v2 battles (called VGC) where very very little is banned

[dapper crag]

Oh okok

[next stump]

I’m not sure where the confusion is coming from

Palafin and the move bans are all Showdown single battles rules, not competitive tournament rules

[dapper crag]

Soooo I can do Palafin x Maushold + Baton Pass or no?

[torn parrot]

Yeah

[dapper crag]

Ohhhhhhh bet bet bet

[dense latch]

in the official competitive doubles format yea

[dapper crag]

Is there a way for me to test that on showdown or no

[dense latch]

or the in game ladder

[next stump]

You can but I promise you’re going to lose in an in person tournament unfortunately

[dapper crag]

Like test the team

[torn parrot]

Yeah

[dapper crag]

Why

[dense latch]

^

current rules allow for way stronger pokemon

[torn parrot]

play on bss reg G if your playin game

[next stump]

Because those tournaments are very competitive and people use very very strong pokemon and strategies

[dapper crag]

So Maushold and Palafin aren’t strong enough?

[molten oasis]

yep

[next stump]

Baton pass is a move that’s only used in single battles as far as I know

I’ve never seen it used in double battles

[torn parrot]

Oh so we are talking about doubles

[dapper crag]

Eh I’ll prove y’all wrong

Lemme go build a team and come back

[next stump]

godspeed

[torn parrot]

Bouta kill it

[balmy glen]

moment

[next stump]

My main thing is I don’t want you to spend $70 on a tournament ticket just to lose immediately

[dapper crag]

Lol I’m not buying anything dwdw

I just wanna try out that world challenge thingy

Is it free?

[torn parrot]

Ye

[dapper crag]

Ye so no money

[next stump]

in person tournaments all cost money though, so if that’s the end goal

[dapper crag]

Also, $70 is like, nothing lmao

[torn parrot]

If you genuinely want to use maushold I think it can be best utilized with calyrex shadow

[dapper crag]

How?

[left bobcat]

Doesn’t triple axel work like that too

[torn parrot]

it’s a great redirector for it

[left bobcat]

And wugtrios diet version of surging strikes

[torn parrot]

With friend guard

[dense latch]

loaded dice makes it have only one accuracy check iirc

[dapper crag]

But would population bomb be as good without tech?

[dense latch]

pop bomb is not gonna do much to the pokemon in the format rn

so you’re better off using it as support

if you really wanna use maushold

[dapper crag]

I’ll figure it out

[torn parrot]

In doubles follow me is it’s best move tho always use that

Makes it able to be a team player regardless of how you use it

[balmy glen]

$70 is a lot bro wdym

that’s like 5 meals

[dapper crag]

Damn yall were right im looking at Maushold rn and… its not looking good

🥲

[balmy glen]

Maushold is so good in the gc

[dapper crag]

…what meals are u guys eating lmao?

[torn parrot]

It has its role just have to play to its strengths

[dapper crag]

5 MEALS????

[dense latch]

yea ik wide lens is way better

that was my point

[dapper crag]

$70 only pays for like… half of a meal for me

[torn parrot]

Okay wtf

[dense latch]

what kind of meals are you eating

[dapper crag]

Anyway I’m gonna scrap maushold and make a shedinja team

[torn parrot]

we Mr Ricky rich over here

[dapper crag]

Good ones 😂

[dense latch]

shedinja isnt in the game

[dapper crag]

WHAT

Damn, okay

[torn parrot]

Maushold is good try using it with shadow

[dapper crag]

But I want Maushold to be the star of the team

[torn parrot]

aright

got any other favorites?

[dapper crag]

So it’s just not gonna work out for it

[balmy glen]

U don’t need $70 for one meal 💀

[dapper crag]

I’m scrolling down the list rn, tryna find a stronger favourite

[torn parrot]

in regulation G you have to pick a restricted legendary so your team is most likely going to be centered around it
A normal mon can shine but only to a degree

[dapper crag]

I’m Canadian bro, food is expensive asl, I also got expensive taste lmao

[balmy glen]

?

I’ve been to Canada for regionals it’s not that expensive for a good meal what lmao

[dapper crag]

I HAVE to pick one?

[dapper crag]

Lmao where’d u eat?

[torn parrot]

If you want to win

[dapper crag]

Sigh

[balmy glen]

no clue it’s been a year

I go to Vancouver in a couple months for that regional

[torn parrot]

Unfortunately you came a bit late in sv’s competitive lifespan

Tho we did have a format where the power level was low recently but it’s over now

[balmy glen]

what could you possibly be eating that one meal is $70 btw I’m so curious lmao

[dapper crag]

Lemme break it down; a drink is like, $10 (I only get mocktails or specialty drinks cuz I like trying the new stuff), then my fam usually gets like, 3 apps which are about $15-30 each, then dinner is like, $40-60 cuz I usually get steak/fish/lobster, etc.

[dapper crag]

^

[torn parrot]

Your family is loaded

[dapper crag]

No lol, this is normal in my city

Anyway, ima go build a team

[torn parrot]

Good luck

[trim hound]

Don't tell me Reg H had a low power level

[dense latch]

relative to reg g yes

[trim hound]

we had shit like Sneasler and Archaludon running around

[torn parrot]

You know what I mean ur just being
argumentative now

You know I’m comparing reg H to reg G

[dapper crag]

Ok actually I just looked at the legendaries and I actually don’t like any of them

Except Kyogre

I’ll wait til next tourney with more restrictions ig, cuz these are not the vibes

Too many op Pokémon 🥲, why can’t I just use a cutie patootie team

[next stump]

we won’t tournaments without legendaries for probably 2 more years

tough time to get into competitive if you dislike them

[dapper crag]

I think Pokémon should have a tournament with only cute Pokémon and just call it a day

[dense latch]

that’s the nature of competitive sadly

[balmy glen]

Interesting

can’t you just like cook at home lmao

[dapper crag]

I do wym

[balmy glen]

welp see u in gen 10 lmao

[torn parrot]

Ye 😔

[dapper crag]

(Don’t judge) tonight I had a steak with some like, herb-y butter glaze or smth with some paprika Mac and cheese and some balsamic glazed brussel sprouts with bacon

[torn parrot]

I’m judging

[dapper crag]

It was fire lmaooo

[torn parrot]

I’m judging cus I’m jealous

[dapper crag]

Ahaha hey I have fast food sometimes

[balmy glen]

Like u made it?

[dapper crag]

My mom did

[balmy glen]

Nice how much did yall spend on groceries for that

[dapper crag]

Idk I don’t do grocery shopping

[balmy glen]

also for like the ratio for food per person how much peeps are in ur family holy 😭

[dapper crag]

4

[balmy glen]

ok ye idk how your spending so much

like I live in LA which is pretty expensive so I’m surprised

[dapper crag]

Well today was leftovers so everything but the Mac was made another day this weekend

[torn parrot]

that’s what Keanu reeves would say

[dapper crag]

So my mom had the leftover Chinese from a couple days ago, my sister made chicken strips with some Mac and my dad had the roasted chicken and rice from yesterday

So it was a pretty cheap dinner, it’s just me who has the expensive taste

Well me and my dad

Is necrozma good for a team then?

Because I’m fine with using one of the necrozma bonds

[dense latch]

you said you liked kyogre right?

[dapper crag]

Ye

[dense latch]

it’s way better than the necrozmas

[dapper crag]

Ok bet, so I should probably make a rain team?

[balmy glen]

mhm

[dapper crag]

Ok I’ll come back when I’m done

[torn parrot]

Have fun

[dapper crag]

Wait last question, would Kyogre be my attacker or my support?

[torn parrot]

attacker

[dapper crag]

And how many legendaries am I allowed

[torn parrot]

you can play to its bulk or go for fast damage

[torn parrot]

You can only have one of the mons under restricted

https://www.serebii.net/scarletviolet/rankedbattle/regulationg.shtml

[dapper crag]

Okok thank you!

[gentle crag]

cincinuser has given 1 Gen Rep to mayahoppins

[torn parrot]

The rest is fair game

[dapper crag]

What is gen rep

[dense latch]

just something that pops up when you thank someone

[dapper crag]

Oh bet

[torn parrot]

Thank you Erik Uwu

[gentle crag]

mayahoppins has given 1 Gen Rep to eriksp

[dapper crag]

Is origin pulse good because it’s accuracy is kinda low…

[dense latch]

yea

[dapper crag]

Should I put a wide lens or smth on my Kyogre then?

[dense latch]

you just kinda have to live with it, but if you use a leftovers calm mind set (which has been performing well recently) you’ll get more chances to click origin pulse

[torn parrot]

if you don’t want to rely on origin pulse you can play around water spout

[dense latch]

ty maya

[gentle crag]

eriksp has given 1 Gen Rep to mayahoppins

[dapper crag]

Okok I like this idea actually

[torn parrot]

Keep origin pulse or hydro pump as back up

[left bobcat]

Blastoise water spout

[dapper crag]

Kyogre @ Leftovers

• Origin Pulse

That good?

Then I’ll pair with araquinid

[dense latch]

you want protect on it

[dapper crag]

Why?

[dense latch]

best move in the game in doubles

[dapper crag]

When would I use it

[left bobcat]

….

Fake out

[dapper crag]

Ok I replaced water spout with it

[left bobcat]

Stalling out trick room

[dense latch]

keep your pokemon safe

while the other pokemon in the field does something

[mighty stump]

https://www.vgcguide.com/protect

Lol

[mighty stump]

I wouldn’t ever go Water Spout on a CM set. 2 Water STABs already diminish coverage so greatly and Ice Beam feels very necessary.

[left bobcat]

Hmmm

I’d say maybe
Origin pulse
Ice beam
Calm mind
protect

[molten oasis]

this

[molten oasis]

https://pokepast.es/f789ba42e5bfe6dc wdyt of this?

i wanna experiment with hands, ive used it in the past on some random teams with zac and it always felt solid so i figured id try it legitimately

[dapper crag]

Okok

[dapper crag]

Iron hands?

[molten oasis]

mhmm

[dapper crag]

I love Iron Hands

[molten oasis]

helps a lot into zama and CIR, also not bad into koraidon

and miraidon

[next stump]

https://youtu.be/3nejgZ78wKM?si=xBRs2PYLPOuXw3EW

[dense latch]

have you encountered any issues from using almost purely physical mons?

[torn parrot]

You don’t have to run calm mind that’s a strong way to use him but fast water spout is also viable

It’s your choice tbh

[left bobcat]

The cat

[molten oasis]

zama feels like the only main issue in a vacuum

however if zama choses to tera zacian and pao pressure it and if it doesnt hands beats it

[dapper crag]

Okok

What should I put beside my kyogre

In battle

Oooo how about a bulky follow me

[torn parrot]

A tailwind setter is always a good choice

[torn parrot]

Sure that’s also a good choice

[dapper crag]

But I don’t think that has to stay beside my kyogre

[left bobcat]

Ooooo no

[torn parrot]

Bulky redirector is always nice for kyogre

[left bobcat]

Yeahhhhh

Like umm

[dapper crag]

Indeedee or ogerpon?

[left bobcat]

Unmmm uhhhhhhhh megatron

[dense latch]

amoong works

[molten oasis]

+1 172 Atk Zacian-Crowned Play Rough vs. +1 156 HP / 156+ Def Tera-Dragon Zamazenta-Crowned: 102-120 (54.5 - 64.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

[torn parrot]

Amoongus ye like Erik said

Even seen electabuzz

[molten oasis]

+1 172 Atk Sword of Ruin Tera-Stellar Zacian-Crowned Play Rough (1st Use) vs. +1 156 HP / 156+ Def Tera-Dragon Zamazenta-Crowned: 180-212 (96.2 - 113.3%) -- 75% chance to OHKO huh i can ohko zama

[left bobcat]

Clefairy

[dapper crag]

But it don’t have follow me

Amoong

[left bobcat]

Rage powder

[torn parrot]

Has rage powder

[dapper crag]

Ohhh

[left bobcat]

Jinx

Rage powder is good and all until grass types come into play or safety goggles

[dapper crag]

That’s what I was thinking

Should I just go with clefairy or smth

[left bobcat]

And grass being Kyogre’s weakness mmmm you’re better off with follow me

[dapper crag]

Or should I use oger-wellspring with water absorb and follow me

[left bobcat]

Ig so

[cyan smelt]

Lol I tried using shuckle and guzzlord in swsh with mixed results

[torn parrot]

electabuzz is a nice partner for kyogre

has electro web speed control and is bulky af and tanks the electric moves

[left bobcat]

Noted

[torn parrot]

also blocks spore which is always nice

[cyan smelt]

Wait isn't tsareena better on ogre teams

[torn parrot]

depends

[cyan smelt]

Blocks fake out and grassy glide

[torn parrot]

just depends what you need

[cyan smelt]

Triple axel for rilla and bolt

[torn parrot]

theyre like extremely different

one is for bulky redircetion one is offensive and prio block

[cyan smelt]

Haven't seen electabuzz for a while

Is thundurus good on rain

[torn parrot]

seen a bit of cookage with in on kyogre teams recently

and i dont think it replaces tsareena or anything i just think belongs on a different team

[cyan smelt]

I lost to it because I thought it was torn lmao

[mighty stump]

Doesn’t seem bad a s a start

[dapper crag]

I put ogerpon-wellspring as the support for my kyogre

[molten oasis]

anything bad about the team?

[torn parrot]

sounds good

[molten oasis]

i need to go and play it still but i think hands pao zac isnt a bad core start

[torn parrot]

i hope the testing goes well fam

[mighty stump]

Not really. You might struggle with CoCloak Venu and Korai

Chinese Sun doesn’t seem great for you

[molten oasis]

chinese sun?

the groudon gouging fire stuff?

[cyan smelt]

Venusaur is back?

[mint void]

Normal ones

they’re a kid they don’t have a concept of expenses yet

[real prairie]

Tell me about it, my 7 year old has put "iphone" on his birthday wish list 🤣

worst part is he has already got one (a hand-me-down from my Mrs)

[cyan smelt]

Peer pressure, his friends probably all have the latest iPhone

[real prairie]

Fuck em, be a pokemon master instead 🤣

[mighty stump]

I had my iphone 7 for 7 years

and only using the iphone 12 now

upgrades r so unnecessary

But

I also spend on luxury goods

so what do I know

[real prairie]

yeah, only upgraded my Pixel because the screen literally fell out of the phone 🤣

[cyan smelt]

I used my OnePlus for ages until I was forced to upgrade because they shut down the 3g network

[cyan smelt]

Was freaking out a few days ago because the screen was going green but it was just overheating

Idk if I'll go pixel again, they seem to be cheaply engineered

[real prairie]

and i still use it as a web-cam for recording videos 🤣

[real prairie]

Think ill probably end up going with the Nothing phone next, i only go Google because i can get them super cheap and am using the Google Home Eco system

[real prairie]

Where you choose to prioritise your money is entirely up to you as long as you know your bills are paid like

I haven't bought myself any designer clothes in probably 15+ years, but i have a gaming PC with a 4090 in it, so swings and roundabouts lol

[cyan smelt]

Idk which phone I'll go next because I still want something with a decent camera and nothing phone doesn't have that

[real prairie]

ah very true

[cyan smelt]

I like OnePlus but they don't sell them here

[real prairie]

i used to like HTC but they folded

[cyan smelt]

Sucks

[real prairie]

my old HTC M8 was a ridiculously good

[cyan smelt]

I don't want Samsung because of bloatware but idk what else is good

[real prairie]

yeah its why i ditched Samsung

[cyan smelt]

Oh well that's a problem for future me, my pixel 8 is less than a year old

[solid frigate]

wtf-

[cyan smelt]

Ring target is basically a useless item thanks to tera

[real prairie]

yeah was taking the piss

just a way for pop bomb to hit Caly shadow lol

[solid frigate]

its just why

[real prairie]

trick it on to opposition CSR and then hit Pop Bomb

thats a shame

I just saw Brendan Zheng had a howler in round 5 of Regional

yeah RIP hahaha

can’t be slamming the table

[real prairie]

I can attest to the way they do the connections isn't the most ideal lol but yeah, don't be having tantrums

[next stump]

for sure, it’s embarrassing that it’s 2025 and we don’t have the ability to reconnect to a game

especially when thousands of dollars are given out

holy shit this grimmsnarl set

[solid frigate]

Wtf lmao

also GIRAFARIG

[mint void]

might be bulkier

if u just run Foul play anyway

[real prairie]

Even with that aside, the prospect of using union circles over a network connection for a major tournament seems flawed, having people move around constantly.

If you are going to go with a network connection based service, provide competitors with unique link battle code which can be distributed via RK9 easily as they do with the match listings.

setting up union circles when so many people are sharing a network was issue filled @ B'ham, then you had half the people that didn't know what ruleset to select. Surely these types of things shouldn't be an option when in a major tournament.

[solid frigate]

i mean if he has imprison Fake out then sure

[chrome knot]

imprison body press for ZAM

[real prairie]

shame it can't do Heavy Slam, then you could have tera ghost in the back and just laugh

[solid frigate]

you want to use this set Emma? that solves half your problems tho

[chrome knot]

i dont have issues into zam?

[solid frigate]

kek

[real prairie]

i dont have issues with Zam, i have issues dealing with Zam and all its partners 🤣

No clue what that style is called

Its like a mix of realism and

[real prairie]

his focused style isn't my go to but he can do any colour work

[mighty stump]

Ohh

Fair enough

[real prairie]

he doesn't post much of this work that isn't in his style though, just as he wants to focus his branding on his prefered style

[mighty stump]

I don't know what else I would want

I can't really get any hand tattoos since 1) i'm a veterinarian and 2) surgery and doing surgical scrubs means ill probably need more touch-ups than the average person

I want a glass frog at some point

[real prairie]

Im getting my OP tattoo finished on my arm, i need my chest lasered and redone, and ill have a ghost/anime themed half sleve on my right arm at some point including Haunter, spirit form Brook, spirit form Amidamaru, and a couple others ive forgotten about now lol

[mighty stump]

Do yuou recommend lasering

I intend to just go for coverups

I want a full back piece

[real prairie]

haven't done it yet 🤣 but my chest piece is cooked and can't be covered up

[mighty stump]

Ohh

[real prairie]

at least not with the same/similar design

i want the design still but not as shit as it is now

It's a ripped skin piece that is supposed to look ultra realistic but has instead been drawn cartoony with outlines

[mighty stump]

Interesting

Im ngl I do not like ripped skin pieces

Hahah

It's fine because I don't like mine right now 🤣😭

but they’re not gonna make the entire server wait for a game that was gonna last 500 turns or so

[left bobcat]

Yep

Just the way I remembered it

[molten oasis]

Skyrocketed in 2023 damn

[next stump]

scarlet violet is a sick game

[molten oasis]

https://pokepast.es/079b338b045c724b thoughts comments concerns?

[molten oasis]

I agree glad the game is getting a lot of attention

[left bobcat]

🤧

[real prairie]

TCG went BOOM

[real prairie]

I'm actually really excited to see it's performance on the switch 2

Give me 60fps SV

https://tenor.com/view/hhgf-gif-25031041

[next stump]

yeah hahaha TCG exploded

[molten oasis]

Idk

The game is the problem not the console

[real prairie]

I mean, the console has a Chipset that entry level phones now would be ashamed of

It's original silicone was old before it was even released

The game is terribly optimized, but equally a powerful enough device doesn't give a shit 🤣

What's Zama usual spread?

[solid frigate]

i have registered GC now

[molten oasis]

I am now playing wake Zac again because the sun mu is awful

[solid frigate]

Iron Hands is fucking GOATED

[plain drum]

We love to see it

[lofty tartan]

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat

Dude Switch 1 is 8 years old and pretty technologically remedial in comparison to consoles now

If you overclock your Switch, though, SV plays really well. It's the console - the game is just code execution

[molten oasis]

I swear YOU told me the game was the issue

[lofty tartan]

No. Lol

I'm a tech, I know better.

[molten oasis]

the who told me that tf

[plain drum]

Switch can run some stuff pretty good if they let it but nah

[lofty tartan]

Games play better on more powerful machines - this is a standard in PC gaming, and consoles are just locked PCs

[solid frigate]

yep anyways

Always Tera Fire Ivy Cudgel on a Tera Water Rillaboom

It Yeetus Deleteus the Rillaboom

[molten oasis]

anyway trying wake again

I played 2 sun games and got mauled by incin gouging and wake

Which wake helps with more than shifu

[solid frigate]

then keep it

I tested wake out its solid af

[molten oasis]

Yep

[molten oasis]

god nothing feels like enough

CSR mu now feels pretty shit

[solid frigate]

which CSR MU tho'

[molten oasis]

At least I can put in my head after most games what I could have done better but this is still so frustrating

LORB, because that’s the only thing I run into

[solid frigate]

oh god don't tell me its Dozo

[molten oasis]

No

Just LORB CSR, does too much too fast

[solid frigate]

where do i even begin with....

whats your turn 1 leads against their turn 1 lead

[molten oasis]

Fake out guy+CSR

Lost to a Grimmsnarl

Because it had fake out and I couldn’t regain any momentum

[solid frigate]

lemme assume its Fake out on Zacian and Zacian fucking dies to Astral Barrage

[molten oasis]

Zac eats all astral barrage

It just has a weird Tera pao took too much damage dies to priority and the guy had scary face so Zac was -2 and died

[real prairie]

https://tenor.com/view/spider-man-we-one-gif-18212100

[solid frigate]

ok what tera anyways-

[real prairie]

Chien pao goes hard into sun teams because they are all naturally weak to it, even with the sun and most are slower. If you can use it to force a tera it's easy pickings got wake or any water types

[molten oasis]

Not into incin or gouging fire

[cyan smelt]

U need rockpon

[molten oasis]

Or entei

[left bobcat]

Or-

Urshifu

[solid frigate]

nah

Wake actually work with Zacian more than Shifu

[left bobcat]

Now you just gotta walk

[solid frigate]

Wake got fucking slept on until we found the hidden potential on it

[left bobcat]

IVE BEEN SAYING THIS

but I get shit on for making that statement

Then again im the same guy trying to push bundle to new heights

[solid frigate]

it really doesn't

[left bobcat]

Huh

[solid frigate]

i have been working on it before in reg f so yeah

[left bobcat]

I said the statement in another server last year

But nope I just got hit with the “walking wake is mid”

“It’s meh”

[solid frigate]

yeah but tbf its not in this server+I never said i have worked on it since reg F so yeah

[left bobcat]

It’s good tho

[solid frigate]

its a tie

[left bobcat]

But I gave wake a break

[solid frigate]

i think Wake is more like an Anti meta Pick

like its good but its not as dominant as Urshifu

[left bobcat]

I’ve been leaning towards Lunala/miraidon

I try other things here and there

Gravity groudon, specs kyurem, Koraidon, meteor beam pagos, coaching zacian/zama

And of course the horses

[molten oasis]

Everytime im about to hit 1500 I get cheesed by something

This time it was max speed zama next to leer Tornadus with a iron treads

[molten oasis]

I agree but idk about it being better than shifu

It’s working because I need something to help with sun

[solid frigate]

its not better

its just hidden potential inside sun

hell i would say it can be a last resort for rain teams against sun team

cuzsun Team wake against Kyogre is already a freebie
4x resist against Water

[mint void]

Whats a common Zacian Tera rn?

Im kinda running Volcarona as my main answer to Zama and Zacian rn. Experimenting with Quiver dance Tera Blast

[mint void]

Wake is strong. You cant shut it down with weather and it just hits really hard.

[solid frigate]

Ground from what i saw in Bham Regionals

[dense latch]

i am in desperate need for lines into dondozo

stuck in bo3 mid ladder bc of this fish 😭

[balmy glen]

amoongus

[left bobcat]

Fake tears into something

[dense latch]

i can't get my opponents to burn their tera before they tera grass, or i play mirai dozo

[foggy lodge]

Yeah they usually save the tera for Dondozo

And also it being a safe switch in most of the times as guessing wrong where Dondozo switches in is horrible

[dense latch]

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2025reggbo3-2290217465-k1uxo3ueqrmgpyktfawflggv99nukbkpw i played this game when i was a bit lower but the struggle was still there

i have trouble reviewing my replays against dozo teams so figuring out lines is kinda rough

[torn parrot]

):

Being weak to dozo is the worst

[dense latch]

nah the team has a neutral matchup into csr dozo i believe but i just cant figure out what the tang gang's lines were

justin tang said that mirai dozo was the one matchup they wanted to avoid so i feel better about that

[torn parrot]

The hell

The tatsu outsped Lando

Bulky boy

[dense latch]

it's probably roaring moon + ursh lead and tw surging? i think i tried that once and they just hard switched into dozo and i lost a ton of momentum

[left bobcat]

I never used dozo before now that I think about it

But now I think I should

[little plank]

I love ditto lmao

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2025regg-2290365956-e4hdrgiqhv4b8td236si0fkbt1r8ebqpw why did the last protect I did on zacian fail? I did a behemoth blade the turn prior then a protect and it failed for some reason.

[cyan smelt]

that happens when you're the fastest (or slowest) mon on the field

if every pokemon on the field uses protect then the slowest one to use it fails i think

[little plank]

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2025regg-2290374325-bc9me15x6bh6u45gc6dw7901uyvx263pw you have got to be kidding me

[cyan smelt]
