It was 188 speed evs
crazy good luck
i think its like my spread
Idk if i should make a new spread for my Ogerpon
Firefly (Ogerpon-Hearthflame) @ Hearthflame Mask
Ability: Mold Breaker
Level: 50
Tera Type: Fire
EVs: 212 HP / 76 Atk / 20 Def / 12 SpD / 188 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Ivy Cudgel
- Wood Hammer
- Follow Me
- Spiky Shield
This?
Epic hgamer skill
trust your gut, i should totally do that more
for what team
Groudon Jumpluff
thats totally why prima gapdos worked
oh no
Not quite
Ogerpon-Hearthflame (F) @ Hearthflame Mask
Ability: Mold Breaker
Level: 50
Tera Type: Fire
EVs: 188 HP / 76 Atk / 52 Def / 4 SpD / 188 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Ivy Cudgel
- Wood Hammer
- Follow Me
- Spiky Shield
change that for the groudon pluff team
Gravity Groudon is spreading
https://pokepast.es/4624640d445f55b3 anyway av blursa or av bolt
its ok ig actually
I would share the EVs but showdown obliterated all my teams so i would have to check the in game stats xd
at least mine lives an Overheat from Chi Yu(No Specs)
but like meh I would adjust it a little especially since I dont want to speed tie lmao
i think lando's obvious here but bear doesn't sound bad
and would help a bit more for CSR
Bear is weak to hands though
zacian isnt
Bolt is prob safer but Luna would be fun
Speed creep the ogerpons from miraidon teams?
it is
Until you realise Drago is playing Zacian
You better call it Luna 🙄
the bear? if it works sure
you're not gonna actually go to bed are you
goes to bed
My Lunala is called Luna ;-;
+1 156+ Def Zamazenta-Crowned Body Press vs. 156 HP / 96 Def Ursaluna-Bloodmoon: 176-210 (84.6 - 100.9%) -- 6.25% chance to OHKO damn
@balmy glen My Firepon is gonna have a Buffet here
Where did the Zama Flutter Chi-Yu came from
new adaptation
It was snow's team right?
I think it won a victory road tournament
i faced that team in round 1
But not in GC,in Regionals
And you probably guessed what happens next (Ogerpon Nuked the team)
I think its actually the same paste that you send morris
The Raging Bolt on that team is cool tho
yeah the only gripe i have is that
Fire Pon just ruins the team apart
it has no answer to a Outspeeding Firepon
Fire Pon already beats 5 out of 6 Mons
Jumpluffff
156 SpA Calyrex-Shadow Rider Psychic vs. 156 HP / 0 SpD Assault Vest Ursaluna-Bloodmoon: 82-97 (39.4 - 46.6%) -- guaranteed 3HKO damn
Ursaluna moment
Because it keep the psychic and ground weakness
What about psyshock
probably less
since BM Ursa is that tanky anyway
Nah no way lmao
156 SpA Calyrex-Shadow Rider Psyshock vs. 156 HP / 100 Def Ursaluna-Bloodmoon: 61-73 (29.3 - 35%) -- 18.73% chance to 3HKO HAHAHA LMAO
lol
Im the best teambuilder of all times
Press X to Doubt
thats even worse lmao
What about giga drain or draining kiss
156 SpA Calyrex-Shadow Rider Giga Drain vs. 156 HP / 0 SpD Assault Vest Ursaluna-Bloodmoon: 92-110 (44.2 - 52.8%) -- 24.22% chance to 2HKO
so i think av blursa is pretty damn good into CSR lol
it doesn't struggle with a 2hko too bad either
252+ SpA Mind's Eye Ursaluna-Bloodmoon Blood Moon vs. 84 HP / 4 SpD Calyrex-Shadow Rider: 135-159 (72.5 - 85.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
and ep does like 45 minimum
I don't think you need 252+
In the end the job of AV Blursa is chipping things
Chipping in the way Blursa does because it has 135 sp atk
But yeh
true
cuz i wanna invest some speed to outspeed modest mirai
actually thats a bit demanding
164+ Atk Calyrex-Ice Rider Glacial Lance vs. 156 HP / 100 Def Ursaluna-Bloodmoon: 150-176 (72.1 - 84.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO huh
damn-
252 Atk Koraidon Collision Course (Super Effective) vs. 172 HP / 148 Def Ursaluna-Bloodmoon: 179-211 (85.2 - 100.4%) -- 6.25% chance to OHKO if the sun's down
Result: 129.000000
this entire team is alternate forms lol
Meh
I’d just out position
i don't think My Opponent did
Find ur dragon now
uh, good point
idk if i go regidrago, could go bolt anyway
offensive lorb or booster bolt
lorb
Why is ur bolt so slow
is it supposed to be fast?
idk how to build lorb bolt
Ur lorb just run the HP optimal for lorb tick, give it like max speed modest or a certain bench mark that ur team needs after u learn what ur struggling into
Divisible by 11 isn't it
oh its 10+1 ok
I’m pretty sure it’s ends in 9 yeah
lost to CIR cuz he click coaching shifu
which i thought was scarffed, i was wrong, and lost for it
bo1 is something else
wow clicking tera with shifu or zac and just ohkoing CSR t1 works pretty well lol
ok so, the miraidon who should have tera'd infront of a zac doesnt, and then my team just fails to do anything after, awesome
and its fast grass hands on the exact 6 form worlds
Did u click behemoth?
ok
ursa doesn't feel good ngl
speed mostly
tw shifu also obliterates me rn
if bolt dies
or fari is on the field
Morning all
I normally spend my morning catching up on chat but...
Y'all been busy 🤣
yep
Tldr, what's been cooking?
I usually just click tbol or draco into shifu slots now
and lead sth im willing to sac
not often
i usually save for zac or shifu to produce more damage
the core hit 1500 this feels really strong
ursa doesnt but lorb bolt is kinda nuts
and mystic water shifu next to torn feels really good
35/50 games won
Just wondering if you’re holding that option back for matches
Guess that means you don’t need Ursa
yep
cuz i usually just end up killing the CSR at somepoint
https://pokepast.es/570f425a20516334 i still think that spot should go to a dark type of some sort
or normal, the ghost resist still feels important
Rocky Helmet Ting-Lu with SRocks
Depends on what you want
Chi-Yu also works
Cause wasn’t a complaint Incin spam
Hence above
i was also being dumb
Pretty much
and lorb electric bolt kinda doesnt care about it too much
Wonderful
so idt i need an anti incin guy
Then just slap Pao on and call it a day for now since Terrain control would be nice
i agree, think mirai was hardest to figure out
In the odd case of Psy/Grassy terrain to open up prio/remove glide prio
landed on zac/bolt lead with oger in the back
wait
zac/bolt and oger lead with +1 in the back
i think pao would help there cuz i dont like taking torn to mirai
glad this feels good
cuz i stayed up way too long lol
this chat always blows up while i’m sleeping hahaha
i mean timezone difference+Schedule lmao
Yea I’m still up lol
urhg
I tried buying a Valentine's gift and payment was taken from my card but I got no order confirmation cause the payment screen did one of those loading forever things
It's been a running trend I feel with designer/luxury goods that they just have the crappiest websites
Well hopefulyl customer service resolves this quickly because I need that gift for my Valentine's surprise
I’m sure it will
If / when I think I can get a double KO out of it
Like when I'm facing a Gweezing and CSR I know I need to tera for the damage to get the KO
I feel this
They will send it Dragonite express dw
They better cause the money they took also paid for expedited shipping
Oh well I can show you guys what I got
Got this from Vivienne Westwood
Neat
I got preserved flowers and a handwritten letter to go too
Gives me templar vibes 😅🤣
Very cute nice work
Think my daughter's tism is peaking through 😅🤣
And yes she is wearing a pumpkin, she wanted to 🤷🏼♂️
That’s nice
That’s a lotta candy
She's not eating it lol dw
They broke the bag yesterday so I put it on a plate in the kitchen, she's sat down whilst I had a cup of tea and started playing with it haha
Yes very much so
my fiancee came with me to my tournament yesterday and she asked the store owner if they had any TCG bulk that she could look through (she just enjoys collecting cards, doesn't play any TCG)
she ended up sorting all of their Pokemon and Lorcana bulk over the course of 4 hours 💀
Based
🤣🤣🤣
Hope she was paid in her choice of cards 🤣
That's a few hours admin done for them
currently 13-0 in gc
just jinxed myself (i didnt lose but im facing the most hideous c team imaginable)
BRUH
HIS GAME CRASHED AND IT GAVE ME THE LOSS
LOL
The classic disconnect bug
i hate this game
no way this happens again when im on a roll lmao
im so screwed im pulling an all nighter for gc but i have an npa game
switch 2 better be better
Oh shit you fucking go
It needs to be
She’s so real
omg im actually soul reading every player rn lmao
Heard it’s expected to be around ps4 pro in terms of sheer awesomeness
Aka how strong it is , which is a big upgrade 0-o
14-0 excluding my dc loss
ok 14-1 lost to mental herb 5050
I think I just got clipped by hyuma hara ngl
but im very tired so cant tell
cooked !
tired at 14-1, catch me awake at 1-14
I mean I’m pulling an all nighter
But ima head to bed at 1700 elo cuz I have an NPA match and need to sleep
good night
good morning
https://pokepast.es/5c97ec7ede9e05b1 i got 5 pokemons for my sv ou smogon singles, any idea for the sixth one?
Copy of copy of
this doesnt happen when ur emo with team names 
I’m so emo
Life footage of me being emo
pfft
lol
fair lol

Ew it's that smelly guy
I feel like Grimmsnarl might be the most underrated support pokemon in SV
it's sooooo strong
but I feel like stuff like Torn/Whims/Amoonguss/etc. get more play which makes sense, but Grimm just flies under the radar
Yeah grim is always pesky to go against
I think the main thing pushing it back is giraf 
And it’s stats

As for falling in love easily- I feel kinda called out
My team failed? Erm im a Gemini im just impulsive 🙄

idk whether to continue my creed as a chi yu main and make a rilla chi yu team or a roaring moon firepon team
Indeedee f
Depending on your team
I like Chi-Yu CSR
You could play something like CSR Rilla Clefairy Chi-Yu
CSR Rilla Clefairy is broken
I’ll try clef
Mienshao tornadus is also really good with them
Chow mein is good too
This team got top 4 at the Los Angeles regional and 2nd in the Taiwan national
But me personally I prefer rice noodles
That’s literally the team I had but with chi yu instead of incin

what did i watch-
panic attack


How did the GC go?
Not too bad in the end
I went 8-4 today
Finished 5-10, royally thumbed. Saw myself in single digits after 4-0 and collapsed
Faced 7 Zamas
I’m definitely going to ditch my team though
lol
I genuinely hate it and the way people that use it play
Especially ones that combine it with stall which these Ting Lu ruination sand tomb players do
That sounds like hell
@real prairie what did u finish in the end?
24-21
Huge improvements needed for next month
@mighty stump I need some advise on how to put a dog down
What's the pokemon equivalent of lethal injection
A one hit ko move
Need to outspeed and put power the dog which is impossible
That sounds so bad out of context 💀
I sent this to my friend with no context
He said
To gently put a dog down on the floor, follow these steps:
-
Ensure the environment is safe: Make sure the area is clear of obstacles or hazards where the dog may land or be hurt.
-
Get close to the dog: Position yourself near the dog, either crouching or kneeling depending on your size and the dog’s size.
-
Support their body: If the dog is large or unable to stand, provide support by cradling their chest and hindquarters.
-
Slowly lower them: Gradually and carefully lower them down by gently bending your knees and placing the dog’s body down in a slow, controlled motion.
-
Ensure comfort: Once the dog is down, adjust their position so they’re resting comfortably, making sure their limbs aren’t bent awkwardly or strained.
-
Stay calm and reassuring: Speak softly or calmly to the dog during the process, keeping a reassuring presence to make them feel safe.
If the dog is older, injured, or unwell, make sure you’re extra cautious about how you lower them to avoid causing discomfort or injury.
It's your friend chatgpt?
No
Fair lol
Haha I was only kidding because the way it's laid out
I can't decide on which Glastrier to use
Option 1 - Modest nature with 238 HP, 199 Attack, 223 Defense, 73 Speed, 137 Special Attack, Special Defense 171. Option 2 - Lax nature with 265 HP, 248 Attack, 246 Defense, Speed 69, 102 Special Attack, 176 Special Defense.
Are you playing online battles with it?
Yes I am. I am trying to know which one in a better one for use of purpose
Glastrier is a physical attacker, so you will need to change the nature on both of them
and in terms of the final stat numbers, those are kinda pointless. You want to focus on the IVs and the EVs of the pokemon
I tend to do that for the most of the teams that I tend to make and build
@next stump consider the following: https://pokepast.es/2a5d8a98aba11c40
great team, i think jugulis is cool over moon
careful with water tera ursh though against stuff like bolt
you can make it work just gotta play very well
tw snarl & a flying stab felt really comfy over moon tbh
- special attacker so not bricked by intim spam
might tera grass ursh
since water+rain might be overkill?
ghost doesnt rly solve the bolt problem
grass resist & now another spore immunity
mystic water ive found to be better for immediate pressure without needing an initial calm mind, rilla + 2fakeout cycle is already enough recovery
True
It also can avoid Urshifu getting rage powdered

What are the issues you’ve been facing?
But no, I have some notes from each game. I lost, 1 sec
i just give up
Like i'm not gonna even try
Hey zacian did nothing wrong
Reviewing my notes and taking out the games i played stupid that ive learnt from.
my biggest issues are Waterpon, Zamazenta, Bulky Flutter, Amoongus mirror, fast R'bolt
Shovel shaped !!!
the sword dog is fine, he minds his own business and explodes to water spouts
Damn lol
nmad oll
How’s this set fr?
looks like a singles set
we are more VGC focused aka doubles 4v4
It’s for all the formats fr
woaw
Did you hunt that?
Yawk
Lucky
the silliest iron jug 🥺
i have a menacing shiny haxorus with the title "haxorus the giddy"
@torn parrot you see furret hate from Wolfe in his latest video?
fr he trashed furret so bad 😭
sometimes wolfey just hate a pokemon for personal reasons and put them in those videos lmao
oh absolutely lol
if you watch his video about pokemons he hate and the video about the worst pokemons ever you can see a pattern there lol
he talked about midnight lycanroc in both videos, i know it's the worse one of the trio but he's def not one of the worst pokemons ever
lmao when i saw furret i immediately thought of maya using it to cook me in reg h
he hates it as a bad rep for "Wolf" lol
I havnt seen the video, but I know more than anyone how irredeemable furret it is. It just…it gives you absolutely fucking nothing to work with 😭
Follow me literally carries the entire mon because it has nothing else
I wanted to use it because i really love furret and its cute
I actually just forced it into a team lol
haha appreciate the honesty lol
I’m just happy I could figure out how to make it function and have some sort of value for a team
Literally that’s the hurdle
Making it have a good job to do
They did furret so dirty
i understand that on a slightly easier level lol
sentret work well with eviolite or something then? lol
It has a niche of being slow as hell (20 base speed) with low hp follow me and endeavor
People used it with calyrex Ice to help set up trick room and then endeavor into glaciel
They’d give it a focus sash
hot damn
Its an evil cheese
yeah i got cooked by an endevour recently, cant remember from who
might have been that belly drum psych up mimikyu TR team i lost to day 1 of GC
I’ll take pride in rank 68 furret At least
as you should, thats top gamer shit
Psychic/Steel
Full Metal Body
137/137/107/113/89/97
680
likely in double restricted format
No but i mean in this reg
For sure it will be strong in double restricted
Idk what I'll do when double restricted comes
Would be such a quality double restricted partner
It’s most common set is practically supportive
I like this regulation too much keep it 😭
TR, wide guard, tailwind etc
If reg H came back I would do furret again
I would because I love furret
I would try to make an even better team
If reg H came back i would obliterate showdown
If reg H comes back, im confident i could win a regional with Ludicolo now 🤣
just replace Kingdra in Wolfe con perish 🤣
Reg h sucks
Reg D sucks
Ur right
Reg D was the one I started playing most in but it was so bad
Reg G or F is my fave so far
Chat would deoxys a make it to ubers
it would be Uber cool
I made it to I think top 1000 with Furret back when the nat dex first unlocked in SV
Not higher tho
Yeah but I think it has the potential to be better than flutter mane
Nothings better than my daughter flutter ^o^
new project for Me in reg G
Kyogre and Zacian
Urshifu is...
Urshifu is my second son it’s okay
Urshifu chien pao flutter chi yu my bias 
time to cook something with KFC birb 
i’m two matches away from master rank using a sinistcha team just cause i love him so much and i want the ribbon LMAO
oohh funny thing
u can actually just bring it in a team, but not bring it to a match and still get the ribbon in master rank
did it as a service before. basically only using 5 mons (since i did the service as a untouched mon thing)
he deserves to feel like a champion too 🫡
it’s a masterpiece shiny sinistcha
the grind is not over yet after the hunt
i’m using a trick room core team and sinistcha is so good to set it
being immune to spore and fake out while being bulky helps so much
and i can also rage powder urshifu to his rocky helmet
similar to amoonguss ye
It’s to die for
i just nuked one With Zacian when i was playing Cart lmao
@torn parrot are you vvhistler because they're using pawmot and caly-s
i saw it OHKO a csr with knock off
that’s enough of a niche in my eyes
it is featured and also in repository, so people can just copy them
Whose that?
Are they streaming? Video?
someone on showdown
i figured because it was only like 1500 something and you're a lot higher than that
Hell yeah
any1 down for reg g bo3 on showdown?
i can do 1 set if u want
nice , what's your username?

gapdos or something idk
I’m so confused
………..not really
Ohhhhh it’s OU tier
In that case meh don’t really know
that ain't cooking-
it only took me like 5 games to win one LOL
this was my first time trying to do all this but still
pins has a lot of good resources
ooh cool okay
wait does taunt just like not work on incin?
if incin gets taunted by prankster taunt it will fail
dark types are immune to prankster moves targeting them
nah like it just doesnt let me use it
oh right because assault vest only lets you choose attacking moves
also you need fake out if you're gonna run incin
oh you got it nvm
goggles or rocky helmet is better on incin
i was considering rocky but i went for that one because my special defence in my team is kinda bad lol
but maybe it doesnt matter thatmuch?
you also need one legendary, you're gonna struggle without it
i'd advise using rentals until you understand how good teams are built
thats fair yeah
the team i just build is basically my current scarlet and violet team
the current format has a higher power level
with tr you'd want either lunala or calyrex-ice
or the miraidon team has a fast and slow mode as well
it's miraidon, whims, iron hands, ogerpon hearthflame, farig and usually urshifu or something
I do like miraidon
Rn the main things on this team is palafin (I love palafin) with a bunch of support for him with the main one being orthworm shed tail and ursaluna trick room as a backup
Also ursaluna earthquake plus orth
I'll try they tho
that only worked in earlier regs, palafin and orthworm and ursaluna are very weak to iron hands and ogerpon
Wait that was an actual thing that worked at some point?
shed tail orthworm next to earthquake garchomp yeah
urshifu is much better and doesn't need to be switched
Busted ass free crits lol
the only water types you see are basically urshifu and pelipper and sometimes ogerpon wellspring
oh and dondozo
but miraidon and iron hands are very strong
so basically
If the water type isn't busted as fuck they just don't work?
pelipper works because of wide guard basically
oh wait there's also kyogre i forgot
but yeah pretty much
Okay so I probably wouldn't be doing anything water related tbh
you still can, you just have to play around the miraidons and iron hands and raging bolts
I'm going for like
i run urshifu and it's fine mostly
Playing pokemon I like and trying to make them viable yk?
Ofc I literally like just started playing game lol so I'm most certainly not good enough for that
Definitevly practicing with actual good teams is a good idea
it's much easier to use niche picks once you understand the meta rather than just trying to shoehorn something in because you like it
Yeah for sure
practice with a few meta teams, see which legend you like, then see what you lose to and how you can potentially improve the team
There should be some rentals up right?
oh and watch cybertron and james baek, they have good content
Wait rentals are free right?
Okay haha
oh and practice on showdown so you don't waste your resources building in-game for something that doesn't work
yup ofc
bro wtf do i do against spore weezing toadscrool
i just snork mimimi
Yup we going back to parting shot Goggles that was trauma
NOT IN THIS SOCIETY
That’ll cost you 50 dorra
Cries pisses and shets
So where’s my dorras at?
its fucking crazy how many games trick room ursaluna wins
Ursaluna op in tr
Farigiraf (F) @ Life Orb
Ability: Armor Tail
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Fairy
EVs: 84 HP / 86 Def / 252 SpA / 86 SpD
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Dazzling Gleam
- Protect
- Calm Mind
- Trick Room
NOW im cooking MUAHAH
ill try this and if its as shit as i think it is im changing to cresselia
i just got shit on by a archalado earlier because my team currenly has 0 special attack lmfao
fargiraf actually has crazy SpA stats
Don't use cresselia, caly s will have a field day and don't use calm mind farig
Hyper voice and some sort of seed is good
oh really i thought cresselia was good
It is in lower power formats but there's powerful dark types around and caly shadow
me who used Cresselia for Turtle Team:
But wouldn't lorb caly shadow ohko cress
id imagine you wouldn't bring Cress into a CSR matchup
oh and good morning everyone
exactly
and it worked
Well almost worked against Zamazenta
I need to get over my ladder anxiety and play some more showdown
tbf i kept on Teambuilding to think what My Terapagos Team goes wrong and yep
I forgot that i did a archetype that worked for a while
Aren't you doing chi yu flutter and terapagos now
I have that problem as well
you saw my team-
Yeah but I'm forgetful
Also I finally finished my Terapagos team
Pagos,Chi Yu,Flutter,Cress,Shifu Rapid and Bolt
What do you bring against caly s besides pagos
I think the team we are gonna see come out from GC is tera poison Ting-Lu Zamazenta teams
scarf'd Chi Yu
Yay…
The tang gang seems like it'd be a problem for torrent's team
its such a miserable team, but did the math on it, i played that team 12 times out of 45
Rip
its literally pure bulk, Yawn Dozo, Sand tomb Ting-Lu, Zamazenta
What was the full team?
I hope my team can deal with it
Flutter + Shifu lead
But then again my Cress Pagos Team is just for beating normal Teams and make this MU more Bareable via Healing
Also Tera Water Cress Kinda just Exists
I watched a game just before with tera water bronzong with tr, iron def and body press and kyogre
I went like 5-1 against it I beat all the 1700 players with it and lost to the 1500 dude and killed my elo 😭
I assume the bronzong runs imprison too for the Zama mu
yea but i am not an Advocate for Bronzong
I am
Idk levitate means it walls lando as well
The team can go crazy at some points
i think in some certain use Cases its workable but for my Pagos Team
Yeah not a huge fan
actually
u could prob make it work on the tailroom pagos teams
U do lose the Farig tho lmao
But like u can make a mode to beat Koraidon and Zama
this is the archetype, the last 2 mons vary. some were pelliper and Rilla, some were amoongus and bolt etc.
thats what i thought about rn
But ehhhh i can try Cress and Bronzong(I have a Shiny one so why not)
i ran this for a little while, it works, its super defensive, but it works
Looks like a very fun team to play against
I have a shiny cress 0atk but prob won’t use it until gen 10 unfort
Almost ran it this GC
bro almost did what i did few months ago
it’s so funny reading comments of twitch chat saying I’m playing bad in main channel then Aaron Zhengs chat is like damn he played that so intelligently
Like I can’t tell if the main channel peeps are just trolling sometimes
Of my match^
I was reviewing it earlier today and I was just like what is this difference 😭
I can't tell if the vgc room on showdown is just a bunch of trolls because it sure seems that way
i mean If Aaron or some high level players Said you played well,Then honestly that better than people are trolling
I mean I won a 30/70 mu on stream lmao
Comp chat is no better than the VGC chat rooms-
Comp chat at least has good players
thats got be fun though, knowing you can go back and watch yourself
True it gets bad in here sometimes
It’s half and half tbh
cough
thats why i kinda did not chat too much unless my teambuilding Group is also here lmao
I’m smogon Vgc SD rooms strongest soldier 
At least the shitposting here is funny
only issue is when a convo comes from a shitpost and then 20 messages later someone joins and thinks we are serious 🤣
People need to use tone tags
im actually suprised they dont have your Team in Indianapolis in the chat room
Cuz that team is Fire imo
Every time I check the showdown vgc room I get the sense there's a lot of angry people there
They did for a lil then replaced it
They named it after mdb tho cuz he won the regional the week after with it lmao
i mean its MDB our GOAT
Its really hard to not replace it lmao
He’s on Calyice now
Feels like everything is tera fairy atm
I dunno why he suddenly change that but good for him
I’m technically Zamas strongest soldier now
thats why i am doing a Project on Zacian after what Drago have done
Active one at least
i mean yeah make sense
Zama is fun to play
If I place in top 8 at EUIC I do actually take him over in limitless points for Zama which is funny
i almost brought it to Bham lmao
Off the top of my head, bolt, miraidon, caly s sometimes and caly i
It’s why I ran behemoth bash
Yeah I'm thinking about switching from heavy slam to behemoth bash
I’d see the Appeal here
U do less to CSR and clefairy edition but u have amoongus in that one since they are draining kiss anways
U still OHKO flutters so meh
yeah I’d see the appeal from other people
https://pokepast.es/b556cde055980627
not sure if I should have Rillaboom or Incineroar as my 6th Pokemon
Didn't take long for you to adopt that 🤣
Rilla gives you terrain control and more healing for Ting-Lu
As soon as you sent the pokepaste for the team I got to work trying to make a team like it lmao
I’ll probably go Incineroar
Amogus
to be fair the comps pretty broken lmao
https://pokepast.es/c9ca919223dc6113
this looks pretty annoying to play against
Time to do the evs
2 many dark types
Good idea
over aqua jet
Probably going to use the same set as my calyrex team
On Urshifu
Could go Rillaboom if I have coaching Urshifu
Rocky helmet on the shroom for extra annoyance
amogus moment
I’ll probably keep the sitrus berry
does burning jelousy guarantee a burn turn 1 against Zamazenta?
berrys are wasted because of the horses atm
also U-turn>HHP imo
Mental herb then?
It’s on ting Lu and I’m not sure what to give it if rocky helmet is on amoongus
May av ting Lu?
You can't use stealth rocks then
I don’t need to use stealth rock
Stomping tantrum then in case sand tomb misses
if you aren't running Dondozo give lefties to Ting Lu
it needs to stick around for sand tomb to stay active
Oh wait av is on Rillaboom lol
you dont wan't AV on it anyway as it needs to be able to protect stall damage
Rillaboom u-turn into Zama giving grassy terrain and lefties healing to Ting Lu
then let the stall and bonk begin
https://pokepast.es/3c245f8647b4a0e8
I think it is done
And chi yu
yep
What the fu how did they get so low
LOL
have to respect the dedication to playing 45 Ls
proof not all asian players are cracked i suppose 🤣
Maybe they threw intentionally
For the flex
I mean
Im not cracked
You are a UK player now, you have inherited our mediocrity
has a UK player ever won worlds? lol
We are ok
Still not as bad as Aussie players, I don't think Aussie players ever do anything of note
We get to a good place and then fail
Very English that
I think one did ok in reg g
I don't think vgc is very popular here
Time for a cup of tea
You an Aussie or brit @cyan smelt ?
Aussie
Cute plush
picked it up @ B'ham
Miror b would be proud
I think there is
Yes, Mark McQuillan in the seniors division
In 2015 according to Wikipedia
but not in the masters?
No
something to aim for
Nice, where abouts? My godmother lives on the gold coast, its beautiful there
Brisbane so close by
Wonder if there is room for Iron moth in my team 🤔
resists both Zama attacks, can outspeed with Booster energy, has access to hurricane in the rain
doesn't outspeed though to threaten the OHKO but its a valid argument
Iron moth might be good for all the tera fairies around but one high horsepower ends you
youd think but the only poison stab it gets is sludgewave
Acid spray for debuffs so kyogre can go hogwild
very very true
it will outspeed my kyogre with scarf too to get the SpDef drop
mmmhhh
Just go for the overheat into clear amulet mons
yeah, my thinking
CIR for example, think it also threatens a OHKO on Zama with overheat
I'm thinking about the Groudon mu where they'll always tera fire to avoid getting koed
Once im tera water, i KO tera fire G'don even in the sun
Nice
this is where im at: https://pokepast.es/667f9969096d890d
Think i need something to work in TR though
my AV Incin i was running always worked so might just stick with that
the Pokemon Official youtube channel just uploaded a full episode of Horizons
Should I keep Tera grass on this team or should I swap it for Tera water/ghost
not sure on that EV spread for scarf, feel it needs some bulk but i could be wrong
as for the tera grass, you could just U-turn away when you see Amoongus
I couldn’t be bothered to get an ev spread for it when I was building the team
so id go Water, Ghost or Stellar
Water and Stellar guarantee KO's on the likes of Chien-Pao which is a good mon to get off the board quickly
Ok
Stellar can get a KO on Kyogre with CC i believe
I’m probably going to build ting Lu now
I may go stellar then
not what i meant, but interesting idea lol
I’ve seen some pretty high elo Tsareena’s drop protect for taunt to help with trick room
it helps a lot against caly-ice since they usually rely on amoonguss or fake out to get TR up
but you also probably blow them up with water spout lol
Pop off only the occasional BROTHERRR
interesting, think protect is more useful overall
I tera i get rage powdered anyway, i dont tera i get OHKO by glacial lance
out of curiosity, on those sets, whats the 4th move?
they still running HH??
Taunt
yes helping hand still
ah cool
Get back in pocket
