move zac/lunala up a tier and you can cut the rest ngl

but yeah would agree on it

opal trout
#

Maybe by a place

solid frigate
#

if you ask me in wave 1,yeah its in top 5

#

rn its top 8

opal trout
solid frigate
# opal trout I’ve not seen koraidon in a few matches

it got top 4

But its not a calyrex so they kinda don't have the same treatment on usage

However Terapagos has a like 40/60 MU against Koraidon,which is still fine but common threats can just make them lose momentum since Terapagos requires a lot of momentum to do anything,so Koraidon still is better

opal trout
#

I forgot that it takes 1-2 calm minds to do damage

#

Kind of annoying at times

solid frigate
#

thats why i put Terapagos in between the Sun setters

So many KORAIDONS

It makes turtle so hard GengarSad

kinda feel terapagos needs flutter

#

put flutter in front of koraidon, itll most likely tera unless they can speed control

#

then boom tera starstorm SE (assuming u twaved it)

#

twave flutter is so annoying now

molten oasis
#

i agree

#

its so good but god is it annoying beyond belief

Thats why I put it back on the team

Volcorona also is the STAR player on my team

Oh the image doesn't appear lol

#

Idk what's the last move from the Tatsugiri

#

And the Dondozo

#

I guess its yawn for Dondozo and Helping Hand for Tatsugiri?

dense latch
#

that last move on dozo is protect i think

#

but the third move idk

foggy lodge
#

I love how every mon has a normal type move

torn parrot

its protect for sure

this is what helping hand should look like

in japanese characters

so idk

Huh

#

I'm going to use it on cart to see it

dense latch

tried using google translate

the dondozo move is sub

I miss my fish (Dracovish)

Flutter Mane and Chi Yu

Flutter Chi-Yu is great into Zama

#

Or should be atleast

real prairie
#

Just got back from football, what's cooking good lookings?

solid frigate
fluid fiber
foggy lodge
#

Terapagos specs with Chi-Yu Flutter should have a better match up into Zama

#

It still struggles into it but its an upgrade

solid frigate
fluid fiber
#

Hmm, specs legendaries are tough though, it's why I swapped to Pagos after Miraidon

#

I'm assuming there's not a great set without specs though for offense

#

Maybe I'll try specs again to mess around, but overall CM is going decently well

solid frigate

I main both of them and i like them so far

tiny karmaBOT
#
Move: Phantom Force

If this move is successful, it breaks through the target's Baneful Bunker, Detect, King's Shield, Protect, or Spiky Shield for this turn, allowing other Pokemon to attack the target normally. If the target's side is protected by Crafty Shield, Mat Block, Quick Guard, or Wide Guard, that protection is also broken for this turn and other Pokemon may attack the target's side normally. This attack charges on the first turn and executes on the second. On the first turn, the user avoids all attacks. If the user is holding a Power Herb, the move completes in one turn.

This attack charges on the first turn and executes on the second.

BECAUSE THEY DIDNT TURN THEY EARS OFF

MOST MONS CANT DO THAT

they’re just like 30 feet above me, HYPER voice I feel like it should reach em but I can be wrong I suppose

If someone is close enough for a jump uppercut they can hear me

Idc I stand on it

spiral ridge

hey so

#

sound waves disperse to be weaker love

maiden jungle
#

No arguing that

#

But hypervoice by description will shatter objects in the background

So I feeeel like SOME damage carries love

yeah well they arent calculating that so no damage

i am kinda unsure on the bolt set, Keanu said to go fast which is what i think it is but i also like my bolts bulky

#

lorb bolt damage is really funny tho

spiral ridge
#

what if just fast AV and be weird GardeSip

solid frigate
spiral ridge
#

fair enough lmao

#

i mean if you like LO then yeah be fast but

#

is 252 hitting anything significant?

#

can you lose some speed to go into bulk and rely on +1 for certain matchups if thats what you want

#

im not well versed with EVs and shit to know off top my head

molten oasis
#

127

#

idk what that regularly ouspeeds except like, some pagos

spiral ridge
#

that osunds kinda middle pack

#

you prob wanna outspeed other bolts

molten oasis
#

i think thats why lorb sets are max speed

spiral ridge
#

makes sense

#

though thats also goes other way cus slower ones will be AV to tank you better lol

#

you thought going fairy tera for the mirror LO matchup?

molten oasis

tera electric has been winning me the mu into CSR

and helps a lot with incin

it gets intimidated, or faked out

That HAS to be on purpose

it was probably a self built team that had very low chances of winning games

is it worth putting clear smog on my moongus in order to counteract the effects of intimidate and caly-rider's stat boosting with calm mind and Chilling/Grim Neigh?

#

i dont really want to replace rage powder, pollen puff, protect, or spore as I use all of them. But stat changes are consistently a struggle for me

not really, because most run clear amulet

oh shit right, forgot about that part. thanks!

ice isnt usually much of an issue for me, ghost caly on the other hand...

foul play is great tech for countering caly ice, especially with a couple stat boosts

@dapper crag what about it man?

dapper crag
mint void
#

@dapper crag just as FYI we are mostly VGC player. Not Smogon format

dapper crag
#

i mean isn't that also viable in vgc

mint void
#

Not atm

#

Only in like one regulation tbh.

#

Right now the regulation allows for 1 restricted Pokémon and all Legendaries and Paradox

#

This team is fodder for those

dapper crag
#

oh ok thanks

#

sorry

mint void
#

@dapper crag nono. Just wanted to let you know that we arent as into the rules and meta of smogon formats

dapper crag
#

i honestly don't know about that format either

mint void
#

@dapper crag doubles ou

#

Or ubers and stuff is smogon

#

Or at least thats how I differentiate them

dapper crag
#

oh ok

mint void
#

The competitive format is VGC regulation G right now.
Its the format that official tournaments are played in

#

Its also playable on Showdown

#

It's a 6v6 but you only use 4 mons each picking the best squad to beat ur opponents

little plank
#

Finally tried out the caly gang.... And almost 1600 atm on showdown ladder.. so much easier lol
