Tbf it's pretty much the Ludicolo guy
i want a banana muffin tho
Nah it's the Ludicolo guy for sure
@twin kindle do u like banana muffins.
What about banana nut muffin
@chrome knot he is pretty much one of a kind and also the Ludicolo guy
Back to doing the standard team it cuz wake is a distant dream
i just had a bananabread brownies and its so gooooooooood
it is exactly that
ill bring you one before bed as usual
I love banana nut muffins
except theyre the large ass sams club ones
Emma have you ever had pumpkin bread?
It is so fucking good
It's legitimately Christmas tradition for my family to make that shit
Of course! Banana bread is one of my fave guilty pleasures š
Alongside cheesecak and tres leches
YAY
We used to have these big ass tin cans specifically for pumpkin bread
prob be ready in 20-30 min
ill lyk when im done
Pumpkin bread is too sweet for me I think
she got mad when i said i didnt like banana 
ready to kill ^
Banana bread goated too but pumpkin bread low-key better
Banana is subtle but tasty , pumpkin is a lot more in ur face
what about mine 
jk dont kill me scott
why do you always want me deadddd :((((
I CANT PASTE IMAGES CHECK DMS
high in potassium btw
wallahi whatre u sending
Totally not suspicious
HAHA LOSER
leo is losing his banana
I wonāt even ask
:3
violence 

i wont stand for banana slander
:(
turns you into a pikmin
Banana is delicious
ā¦Apple better though
yk whats better
too sleepy to wait on kat for bnb
Call me a lil goddess of death
kiwi and starfruit
banana potassium goes hard
the procrastination continues
dudeeee
I respect it :3
a bit bitter for me though
blame her for running 100% of stardew
why not you turn me into random stuff
its just not my fault
lots of blame is going into this stardew lmfao
BECAUSE IT TAKES UP ALL HER AVAILABILITY FROM WHEN I GET HOME TO WHEN I GO BED
Personally me I would hack into the star dew servers š
personally imma fly to her house and kick her ass :v
oops forgot no gifs
Also @chrome knot I got bad news
Basically good chance now I'm not going to New Orleans
El ay may oh , gee aye ef fail
awh
@tranquil kraken when youre around could you help a girl out and fix me tyyyy
why not :(
Damn Scott didn't want to stay with Luna in the premier club
Oh Luna finally lost the role too damn
I was planning but like
There's a good chance here soon that I may be moving apartments so
she iant there either š
THEY RIPPED IT FROM MEā¦they took it from meā¦
i celebrating my birbday that weekend
Time to leave again
oh shit goodluck with move dude
I will never forgive them, sweat blood tears, nothing can repay the burden itās takenā¦
they are premierists
Idk for certain if we gonna move
But there's a good chance and I sorta have to prioritize that
Though I will be saving up to hopefully do something next season
I just survived a CSR match 
you would kick her once and then drop to your knees in guilt knowing you
id sob
wouldnt make it to the kick ngl
But yeah it sucks but not much I can do
Hehe ur British
Love when rent goes up
I hug Monke

:((
best of luck monke
:((
HAHA BRITISh
take care monke
Oh I know in the long run I'll be fine
i
LMFAO
idk if this is serious or mocking rn
NCDLRLGUCTSNRLTOUCJ IM DEAD
is this impersonating me or
Iāve no idea what you could ever meanš„ŗ
No hug I see, alas- 
Hehe I love being a brat
nevermind forgot akiyama got the damn moves
beat me up like one of those asian parents


I-
im going back to yakuza cus the people who flirt with me are 80 years olds instead of leo
My WTf as the kids say radar has come on

shoutout the obatarian 80 year old granny tackled kiryu a hardened yakuza member down and just kissed him a whole lot and he couldnt fight back']
So just Leo
i cant post a photo of her but she has a bright purple afro and a cheetah sweater on
10/10 character would get assaulted again
Iām concerned for you all
Imagine spoiling Yakuza for comp chat
these arent spoilers its fine
is you want real spoilers then ||kiryu and majima kiss||
erm what the tuna
You wouldn't know what's a spoiler lmao don't give me that Mr. I don't play sidequests to 100% but I thought Yakuza was a great idea
what the carp did you just say to me

IVE BEEN PLAYING SIDEQUESTS WDYMMM
Sure and what game are you on now
4
You're rushing aren't you
ive been playing for like a month and a half atp
maybe bit more
i just started 4 and am on chapter 2 and have done roughly 8 sidequests and am doing one rn
Leo send him to gacha hell
you musty arkham player
also im gonna put a single yakuza on 100% so thatll be something
Smh
amphoreus looks cool but i have no motivation to ill be real i got beat up by that game for like 2 months and it still doesnt feel good
hunt march genuinely killed the game for me
I donāt trust you around castorice


yeah shes pretty
VERY
idk cool looking characters and worls just arent enough for me rn

I'm glad I don't play gacha games
fuck off u play tcg
thats even worse
That's not a gacha game unless you make it one
https://pokepast.es/f24efebbdbd181e3 wake team done
Just have to wait a few months to use it 
Iām more into modern art and music so the ancient view of amphoras isnāt as appealing 
double restricteds confirmed?
man idk im really like walking around between asleep and not i feel
Maybe you should lie down
not on the right track of mind and cant type
So you don't fucking fall over

Leo fucking dies
anyways, im about to finish eat
It should be the next thing
How can I in good conscience entertain you in this state
so no official announcement?
And uh, yea I think Zac korai could be solid so why not just try wake in double res
wntertainment in entertainment dw
What else are they supposed to do next ?
Iām just assuming itās double

āļø

what dat
Wake does need sun to work and Iād prefer a setter
in the meantime letās see what I could play with that would genuinely work
i have an avg of like 35 hours a game so far
Ban every legend but Luna easy
And be worth working on
kiwami 1 i only took 18 and im not sure how that happened at all

I know that look on your face
Nvm too lazy to lyric
Itās the sign for Leo āļø
anyway, ideas for things to test with Zac anyone? Not really trying too hard to make anything work just wanna see if maybe smth will just manage to work lol
I have a team that does generally work itās just not as fun as getting something not meta to work
Which Mythicals would yall use if we could use some?
None
just Arceus tbh
Maybe pecharunt
maybe Deoxys
No Body Press, unplayable
Would be fucked with it
Ok, idc about what it has
it's BST and ability say otherwise
Iāll try it if itās legal cuz pecharunt is cool
Poison/Ghost
Poison Puppeteer
88/88/160/88/88/88
600
Damn that thing is ass lmfao
As stat wise but a cool thing
holy macaroly nice stats
If this Pokemon is a Pecharunt and poisons or badly poisons a target, the target also becomes confused.
Meh
Magearna at least has a good ability.
Then none cuz I use one mon religiously and then everything else is ok
Anyway time to scroll builder
Leo told me to put this here enjoy, match of the year https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2025regg-2296642261-g45n4qnmi4eprd8ibxk453lo887t2yypw
Watch a replay of a PokƩmon battle between EniVGC and nhat my! Format: [Gen 9] VGC 2025 Reg G; Date: Feb 8, 2025
@charred saddle lemme in
insane right?
make sure you two dont argue dont chase away leo again 
Maybe magearna idk
I wonder if howl Zac could be ok with bulky shifu
hoopa unbound, keldeo, melmetal, darkrai. and deoxys
not cus of strength but cus my fave mythical designs cool wise
i dont wanna fight with my fave cute mythicals i dont wanna see em hurt
how very kind of you
if meleotta or manaphy fainted on me cus a horse just destroyed them id be very sad
maybe gouging gapdos zac, hm
howl on those 2 is quite nasty
kind orā¦lookist..
the mythicals i said all know how to fight and do it often š
What makes the cute ones more important 
Free my man darkrai
deoxys squares up vs rayquaza on SIGHT
youd think they had a bad breakup
meloetta nad manaphy are more mythicals that just kinda chill and have fun ones i said deal with violence more often if im remembering right
no he must make enemies eepy
the stats donāt lie..
idk their stats lol
You generalizeā¦#ScottyIsOverParty
am i getting cancelled
Taking this to Twitter rn
Ground
Bug
Dark, Fighting, Grass
Dragon, Fire, Ghost, Normal, Poison, Rock, Steel, Stellar, Water
Electric, Fairy, Flying, Ice, Psychic
Whatās flying fighting
gapdos
pretty painful 2X to have
at least no 4X
the single quad resist of bug makes me giggle

i need to actually play the swhs dlc i got DAs and enver continued
because i spent 2 years on a blood moon
oo?
Interesting :3
since youre mainly leading gouging with gapdos or zac im assuming would double on fire for them really be good?
other than that looks fine so far
Fair point
eh actually long as you just tera gouging in stead
youre changing it from tera fire right?
Yes lol
then yeah only way youd be tera fire is if you do that and arent chekcing for like a ground user in the back
so should be okay just try and remain concious of it
Iām just thinking which muās are manageable/winnable with this and which arenāt
Thinking the rough spots are CSR, maybe CIR, Mirai, Zama, ah so the big guys lol
Well zama isnāt impossible gapdos isnāt bad into them
May just go scarf
What booster
that will give speed control too if you do icy or smth
ah
thats an issue
arceus would be so broken
it could have so many sets
heya maya :)
Torn
heya
Ehhh, maybe Whimsi, hm
would that help with anything here?
that makes your mirai and CIR worse with another flying type
Whimsi yes cuz bolt is rough for gouging gapdos
Any speed control guy just gets rolled by CIR
acreus's stats go so crazy
like its not disgusting in anything but high enough in everything to where its bulk is out of this world while having decent attack and great speed

and then BM ursa could be good?
true
this man arceus is literally as bulky as cresselia with 120 attack
i was thinking AV so its okay with being slow
bulkier even in defense
Chi Yu also needs speed control even with scarf and even then Iām probably going scarf Tera ghost gapdos
scraf chi yu goes hard i agree
or ursa whimsi
and goes nicely with sunny day
Oh
which goes nicely with wake
hell you do chi yu do sunny day and melt bitches harder
Maya Iām on smth else
oh ye? what u got?
Sun on a stellar Zac team sounds like asking for š„
lol true
thats pretty cool i like it (:
i think chiyu or ursa with a speed control like whimsi could be fine additions
looking again at team yeah do not give whimsi sunny day i was not cooking with that š
idk what else to add cus you do need some special attacker prob
or you can quintuple down and go roaring moon Uwu
yknow, fuck it yeah do that
Drago what have you done lmao
lmao
What is wrong with it morris
Yeah was thinking that
Iām not going moon it needs booster lol
ohh ueahh
roaring moon and then darkshifu for the ultimate 4X to fairy
i fiorgot booster was taken
no i was like you rarely do 3 Anti Meta mons in a Team
It seems ok on paper
Gapdos has defiant and helps zacian
no i get this part
would help with intim issues
ooo
So thatās the core idea
Wellspring helps with flutter fish and CIR
Zac can break CIR if it isnāt getting hit by HHP
i need my mental fixed and then continue with my Koraidon Project
We even tried Dawei's Formula on Koraidon and its Miserable
Yeah I didnāt think sun dozo would work
ahh that follow me makes lotta sense i see

without water stab but like its still miserable
lol
and i am trying comps with Lyco cuz Wake genuinely felt very good with Koraidon
Uh so anyway, do we need tailwind now that Iām thinking about it
y e s
Y
Roaring moon balance hehehe
Iām not playing moon again
stick the copy and paste
Everyone knows how to beat it
itd be useful
just use whims
Thatās true , I even went draining kiss to abuse it
i'm literally juggling between this server and Herta Mains Server on teambuilding
How is my brain still working
realistically it depends on ur team
The reason whims was so good with Zac in the regional was because they had a very hyper offensive team with fire oger and drago
uh fairy tera bolt could beat flying, fairy for mirai MU, and could maybe deal with horses somewhat
irdk
Well
Guys Iāve been watching too many death note dub shorts I read this in Lās voice
I think a howl mode and a standard mode would be fine
if Drago was like a Balance Team for Zac then Torn would be better
But Moon is also fine if you make it a support with Taunt lmao
lmfao
So av bolt seems fine tbh
yeah
yeah go for it
AV Bolt would be better on Balance Teams anyways
mhm
https://pokepast.es/24ca14c387672998 extremely temporary spread
yeah TW feels even more necessary
Torn feels good imo
cuz Moon stacks more Fairy Weak
whimsi torn both have pros and cons here
i cant weigh one over other id genuinely say test both see what ya think
Electric Weak vs Fire Weak
Basically,Get drifted by Miraidon or get burned
and also one resists electric
Think restricted muās
i am
Miraidon seems kinda shit ngl
whimsi is good for mirai but would be hurt vs zama heavy slam and CIR badly, and prob just fragile vs CSR
so Whims could work cuz you have Gouging for Fire Res
torn gets messed up by CIR and mirai. while taking zama better as an SE attacker to it as well
Gapdos and fairy boltnhelp for zama
i mean
Gouging also exists
And if zama Teraās Zac threatens it theyāre usually dragon
4 mons against Zama is alr
lol
and what you can compensate better for with other mons
Gouging could literally burn Gouging with Burning Bulwark-
yeah just a SPA for them is especiually nice
das all
https://pokepast.es/e321fab92d300a96 this might be fckn ass but whatever
It doesnāt live miraidon
@torn parrot wdyt about this?
Resist is what matters
I remember trying to calc for miraidon with whims and i just gave up bro
that would track given its mirai
i still remember Bolt literally got solo'd by Whimsicott lmao
Hm
yeah i literally can't stop laughing
In my experience the difference is the supportive typing and nature of whims against the offensive torn 
Real
Whims personally feels better most every time except in like rain
it really depends if you want to be annoying or be fast
Torn busted in rain
Tornshifu just fucking destroys my pagos team so yeah
Bolt time
i mean workable
Just make it slower than Most CIRs
Whatās amoongus outspeeding anyways
Ground
Hyper Cutter, Arena Trap, Sheer Force (Hidden)
45/100/45/45/45/10
290
Fairy
Cute Charm, Magic Guard, Friend Guard (Hidden)
70/45/48/60/65/35
323
HELP 10 SPEED
why does it have 100 atk bro lmao
wtf-
Sheer force LO trapinch cook
It has WAY more attack tha Talonflame
Grass/Poison
Effect Spore, Regenerator (Hidden)
114/85/70/85/80/30
464
Thatās annoying 
I think you still want like
Min speed against Clefairy cuz you can spore in trick room before they use aftr you
Clefairy after you seems good at this point of the meta ngl
Maybe
Itās kinda funny how amoongus has a bad bst yet so many nerfs and Tera but is still like top 3 mons rn
thats why these guys destroyed me in sand in XY when i was using the scanner for the red base key
my guys died so much to these things
It is, been very good
god i love pastes vgc
gl with team drago i go play league nad hate myself so glhf
Been recollecting all the teams from there

I'm gonna just practice CIR before Double restricteds
I won a game despite a banger first 2 turns again. cba
Double miss on Sandsear Storm into Heatwave Miss on the relevant target into crit KO against my volc
My heatwave
You are playing a tournament link?
isnt 95 atp...it misses like 50% of the time
well yeah but only like the first 3 rounds cause I cant fit in more
is there any way to make mienshao work without sash
covert maybe
hes relatively fast. you ahve to be omega careful with positioning it
A semi replace to Mienshao is Hariyama i guess its way bulkier than Mienshao and has the same moves and typing
or exclusively use it to wide guard but sash is the best probs
Give in to temptationnnnnnn
1-1
2nd match was horrible match up
CIR pelipper lando urshifu flutter mane amoonguss cloak
Amoonguss cloak?
Tang had that so everyone is being followers
I would have just fake out wicked blow to force a tera on CIR
But its cloak so it can just rage powder
Tbh game 2 lost was my fault
Because i missclicked and used wicked instead of sucker punch against Lando
Shamesss
What video is that from?
just Search up SkrawVGC and look for using Pokedoku to build your team
If everyone and their grandma didnāt have tw it prob feel better
Rn probably isnāt the time for it
turtle
Found it
Blastoise water spout š«§š«§š«§š«§
i actually used that lmao

Give it choice specs
Why not an apple
Itās heat wave dude
Or covert cloak if you have a Comfey

PUT THE PHONE DOWN

THIS IS FOR MY SAFTEY
Is battle bond greninja legal in competitive?
no unfortunately not
Im making a team that consists of incineroar, zacian, gastrodon, meowscarada, dragonite, and a 6th. Who should my 6th be?
are you playing single battles or double battles?
Meowscarada doesn't do a ton in the current double battles meta, it's got a bad matchup into a lot of other pokemon. Also using dragonite can be a struggle given it gets outsped by basically every restricted and gets one hit KO'd by most all of them
If you're looking at Zacian, I'd really suggest adding a pokemon with tailwind support. Something like Tornadus or Whimsicott
Could murkrow work or are those two just superior to it
Ive used murkrow on past teams thats why im asking
Murkrow fell off a lot compared to early scarlet/violet since dondozo isn't around much anymore and tornadus has much better stats
Is urshifu water still being used a lot
yeah, it's still the number 1 used pokemon right now
Thats why i got gastrodon
@next stump goin to toronto for another local tmrw
that's awesome, good luck š
I was thinking zacian, incin, gastrodon, ogerpon grass, and tornadus
Is that pretty good
yeah that seems playable
One more thing is flutter mane a good addition to this team
I feel like i need to add a special attacker
a lot of zacian teams run regidrago to deal with stuff zacian doesnt like
flutter could work, try it
Just had these MASSIVE WINGS
Hello. Trying to build a team around the fire, water, grass core of Feraligatr, H-Arcanine, and Amoongus. Iām aware that this isnāt the strongest core, but I was wondering if I could get some advice on how to try and make a solid team to play in the VGC for now. Was thinking I should add Alolan Ninetales to help fight the dragon meta and help with some speed control. Thoughts? Other ideas?
Hello š Welcome to this chat. Just so we know, are those three 100% required team members
i think youāre thinking about regulation h
the dragon meta was much more prevalent in that ruleset
yea thereās clear better physical water type pokemon and a clear better fire intimidator in urshifu and incineroar
Yeah I know. Iām just getting back into pokemon and wanted to make a team around some favorites before eventually adjusting to better options.
Is Harcanine best as a 252 ATK and spd spread?
Watch a replay of a PokƩmon battle between Seppia98 and chorizogrande! Format: [Gen 9] VGC 2025 Reg G; Date: Feb 9, 2025
YES sometimes calm mind miraidon is good
most of the time yeah
As long as you know you're at a pretty decent disadvantage, then we can come up with something as a team
Awesome. Iām all ears.
Iām more so using this as an opportunity to learn how to team build regardless so I donāt mind.
first thing you should do is choose a restricted pokemon
^
once we know that, and you have your three required pokemon, the last two can slot in to fill gaps
Well, I donāt know much about the Calyrex stuff or Torapagos.
I guess⦠I guess Iām gonna go Zamazenta.
But honestly, if you guys have better ideas let me know for that selection. Iāll rock with whatever.

Zama is fine
Okay cool. Zama it is.
So Feraligatr, Harcanine, Amoongus, Zama.
Was thinking g A-Ninetales since the usage stuff I read was a bunch of dragons. Plus Aurora Veil to help with damage received and Icy Wind for speed control.
Thereās so much weather rn tbh
chien pao is a better ice type to pair with zama currently
Nine tails lead is like waste
Agree
flight booked, bnb booked, vancouver is all planned out ^-^

In this video, I try out the team that Andrew Figueras used to get Top 4 at the San Antonio Regional Championships! Andrew was the highest ranking Koraidon player at San Antonio and used a unique set featuring Loaded Dice and Scale Shot. Andrew also utilized unique Pokemon like Umbreon, which is super disruptive against common Pokemon like Amoon...
there's really not too many dragons around right now

Okay, so donāt worry about ice PokĆ©mon then?
like someone said above, chien-pao is nice to pair with zamazenta due to the ability and the threatening of ghost types
but you'd be very physical damage heavy
That explains all them umbreons and enteis Iāve been seeing today
I send them all packing
last slot could probably be flutter right?
speed control through icy wind/twave

Yeah I just tried a game on showdown and he got whooped.
Trying a bulkier set right now because his speed tier is bad.
donāt be afraid to share your replays
TR physical attacker with aqua jet as priority stab backup maybe?
Sheer force life orb,
Protect, aqua jet, liquidation rock slide.
Tera steller
Feraligator
Oh
i just nuked my fav legendary-
psychic fangs could be cool STAB move
wait
not STAB
coverage
hits amoonguss and urshifu
Yeah could be useful
Rock slide was just to have a spread option
Think it could be semi usable in a TR team as it can get as low as 74 speed
Maybe a CIR team? Throw in pelliper for rain boosting too
Surffff
It's a physical attacker lol
Hey guys,
https://pokepast.es/3f5ccfb6386794d5 incin shroom
https://pokepast.es/d02680067c390a26 rilla pao
What yāall think? It needs work but Iām trying to get gapdos to work cuz I like him and I think heās fun
252Atk, 156hp, 100SpDef - Brave as a starting point I guess
I have 2 cuz I feel thereās 2 ways to go
Uno momento
Why's it 236 Speed? Not 252
2 seems stronger imo
1 looks a bit passive but idk
Is something 236 speed?
You have a significant lack of speed control on both teams though
Pffff
Which is an issue with Zacian
Yeah Gapdos
The speed control options overlap weaknesses (CIR issues) way too much
Aaaand priority is a form of speed control
ok i might unretire my Miraidon team cuz its doing well on Post San Antonio Teams
Just give pelliper TW then lol
Iām going to unretire my mewtwo team
Feraligatr?
Yeah
Not because itās doing well but because I feel like it
Fine tune it to survive certain things once you know what it's big threats are
I put a team together. Iām going to put my son to bed and post it in here. Is it okay if I tag the guys who helped me?
slow tw is also kinda shit
It's sash'd so it doesn't matter
Itās so easy to double the thing tho
Itās so slow, I only have peli cuz I wasnāt sure what else to put there
fine by me
236 adamant scarf is enough to out speed timid caly
https://pokepast.es/f7bd1ba7e4f9b1b8
Should i change anything on my regional team i used?
Other scarf users can bonk u thou
Nuh uh
And ofc flutter booster sobs
Choice band flutter 
i would just replace flutter mane with something more
lorb on crown is also considerable
i just don't think Fari feels suffice for me
Tsareena
what worries me is that thereās like no tools to stop fake out from destroying your momentum
Bruxish
no faster fake out, no priority block, no cloak
yeah idk how i got 4-4 on Bham
Water/Psychic
Dazzling, Strong Jaw, Wonder Skin (Hidden)
68/105/70/70/70/92

The fucking NEED for tailwind this format fucking sucks
mhm
riley used tera ghost miraidon even
Honestly tailwind is so bleh I kinda wish it wasnāt a thing
Well if you donāt have it or youre Calyrex your team sucks
Back in my day it was thunderwave šØš»āš¦³
i just don't think Fari Clicks for me+ Tsareena would kinda just overlap Ogerpon's use
I use tailwind but it makes playing anything other than tailwind such a drag
i wonder if people woudl even use mega incineroar
it would take a up mega spot
guess it depends what it does
Please do! Also goodnight to your little'un from a fellow dad in the chat!
Bruxish-
Like
Scarf Bruxish
i feel you
its just worse probably
No items basically
Prio is really nice, but for whatever reason I need tailwind and redirection and prio
I had 3 grass types in my team lol, it can work if you know how to manoeuvre it
Makes building gapdos so tricky cuz of its overlaps with stuff
It gets a special variant of intimidate that lowers both special attack speed and attack
Damn torn sounds like itāll have a field day
I stg
i love trick room š
okay people would use that
you have a Kyogre lmao
If it keeps it
Often blown up before it got a chance
And letās hope no mega incin
Every move you do procs intimidate sounds funny
lol
Instead letās hope for mega Urshifu
shut up
hits pokemon in the back
Surging strikes becomes SPLISH SPLASH SLASH
surging strikes now has no resistances or immunities
Ignored redirection
surgiging strikes now hits 5 times
weakkk
Mega Urshifu able to break through armor tail/queenly majesty/dazzling and all types of protect
10 hits
i'm jusy here to
Not know what to do lmao
surgiging strikes now hits 10 times
Itās just pop bomb
technician + unseen fist mega urshifu
Urshifu unseen fist now hits through the switch screen
Urshifu gets ultra mega crits which automatically put the opponents at -6 defense
So aqua jet always breaks through armor tail
lmao
And breaks through psychic terrain
Ultra Instinct Ability
Matter of fact letās just give it the ability to ignore everything including status conditions
mold breaker + unseen fist + technician
Sounds totally balanced
Built in ice spinner on all its moves
And allies get a crit boost
alright go back to your fakemon dungeon-
oh yeah and + stalwart too
maybe water bubble too what yall think about that
And itās new updated surging strikes ignores redirection
back to contemplating what to use with gapdos
have u tried coaching
As 10th
It gets mold breaker, unseen fist, intimidate, power spot, sword of ruin, all 4 embodied aspects, stalwart, adaptability
Thatās not balanced enough
This is the real answer
water bubble?
And as for single strike-
fuck him
Adaptability, sniper, sword of ruin shadow tag
okay maybe make it so it gets a 1.5x boost to all dark type moves
Nah that just goes to rapid ursh
If this Pokemon strikes with a critical hit, the damage is multiplied by 1.5.
Thatād definitely be the end for incin
water bubble adaptability sword of ruin power spot sniper
Scarf coaching never has felt good
Mega Ogerpon
All 4 Tera boosts would be cool
Itās mask has mega energy and with the power of friendship āļøš¤ itās able to mega evolve
So it gets an all stat boost except for special attack
Kinda like zacianās intrepid sword but better
yes
Normal mega urshifu calc
+6 252+ Atk Choice Band Water Bubble Tera Water Sword of Ruin Urshifu-Rapid-Strike Helping Hand Power Spot boosted Surging Strikes (3 hits) vs. -6 Lvl 1 0 HP / 0- Def Numel in Heavy Rain on a critical hit: 85032-88488 (8503200 - 8848800%) -- guaranteed OHKO
Troo
The fact embodied aspect comes back after swap is so mocking
Sash but it guarantees it canāt die in 1 full attack
The user will survive attacks made by other Pokemon during this turn with at least 1 HP. This move has a 1/X chance of being successful, where X starts at 1 and triples each time this move is successfully used. X resets to 1 if this move fails, if the user's last move used is not Baneful Bunker, Burning Bulwark, Detect, Endure, King's Shield, Max Guard, Obstruct, Protect, Quick Guard, Silk Trap, Spiky Shield, or Wide Guard, or if it was one of those moves and the user's protection was broken. Fails if the user moves last this turn.

The user and its party members are protected from moves made by other Pokemon, including allies, during this turn that target all adjacent foes or all adjacent Pokemon. This move modifies the same 1/X chance of being successful used by other protection moves, where X starts at 1 and triples each time this move is successfully used, but does not use the chance to check for failure. X resets to 1 if this move fails, if the user's last move used is not Baneful Bunker, Burning Bulwark, Detect, Endure, King's Shield, Max Guard, Obstruct, Protect, Quick Guard, Silk Trap, Spiky Shield, or Wide Guard, or if it was one of those moves and the user's protection was broken. Fails if the user moves last this turn or if this move is already in effect for the user's side.

Wait so wide guard canāt be spammed
It can
grrr I thought it could
It just functions weird with protect
You can spam wide guard but canāt protect afterward guaranteed
Yeah
But itās Ogerpon so Iāll let it slide
https://pokepast.es/455e32e950b87fe4
@real prairie @dense latch @next stump
Also Ludi, thanks for the comment about my son earlier. I just saw it.
okay thereās some work to do with the sets
you want way more def evs on zama, prioritize that over hp
behemoth bash is an option but itās less consistent than heavy slam
and rest is not good at all on zama
or any other pokemon for that matter
wide guard is better over rest
Wide guard on Zama and extreme speed tera normal on harc
You also don't have much speed control
Moonblast over Dgleam to avoid being Wide Guard Baited
pao should be tera ghost and zama tera dragon
Throat Chop Over Sacred Sword
What about terrain control though, there's a lot of terrain going around
i don't wanna see more Fire Weak
Is tera ghost always better on Pao? I've been running tera stellar
Okay let me change everything
God bless all of you. Real quick, just go D and ATK for Zama?
I noticed that a bulk of the teams I play have Caly and Incineroar. Any thoughts?
Zamazenta-Crowned @ Rusted Shield
Ability: Dauntless Shield
Level: 50
Tera Type: Dragon
EVs: 100 HP / 4 Atk / 228 Def / 84 SpD / 92 Spe
Impish Nature
- Body Press
- Heavy Slam
- Wide Guard
- Protect
Just take this-
90% players of-
What should I do about countering them?
Use ur own incineroar
CSR broken rn
@regal latch also just take this spread
What team
Everthingš
I need one like holy moly I suck at building
Maybe the ones with Chi-Yu
Hehee chi yu
I think the best CSR for EUIC will be CSR Chi-Yu
That's why you have 4 other slots on the team lol
pawmot :)) for no specific readon
Okay. I must ask, does attack EV help with heavy?
it does but most zamazentas wont run much atk investment
Enough to KO flutter
You don't need more tha 4 atk
Which is like 0
heavy slam does a lot even without it
Watch a replay of a PokƩmon battle between chorizogrande and barosvk! Format: [Gen 9] VGC 2025 Reg G; Date: Feb 9, 2025
Sometimes the stat helps nowhere else so you use it accordingly
You can go with something similar to michael's spread which is very fast very fat physical defense zama and less HP and sp def
Evs are distributed in 3-5 stats to be optimal
If a zama for example just invests into speed ane defense 4 evs will be leftover for HP
When a zama invests in hp def sp def and speed the leftover will be 4 evs and you just dump it in atk
Ah I see.
Is DD Feraligatr a good choice?
Wait⦠I know Feraligatr itself isnāt a good choice. Iām saying should I go a different direction
https://pokepast.es/b4e787ecf1893320
I'm throwing the team here for reference
As far as the set up.
Water
Torrent, Sheer Force (Hidden)
85/105/100/79/83/78

Yeah dragon dance is fine i guess
Water
Torrent, Sheer Force (Hidden)
85/105/100/79/83/78

swords dance might be nice too just for aqua jet to do serious damage
idk if it gets SD
just use Shifu lmao
Im ngl a dragon dance wonāt be enough to outspeef the fast guys
oh it does get SD
Well, Aqua jet wouldnāt have priority anymore right? Or youāre saying scratch life orb?
You get recoil from lorb
+Not enough to nuke stuff when people is doing shit
Because sheer force doesn't boost aqua jet
Sheer Force-
Kinda weak tbh
oh wait fu-
o shit thatās rightt
Iāll probably have to scratch Feraligatr at some point. š
Just have fun with it tbh 1000 elo to 1200 is just like memes
^
Or kids who keep losing and making new accs
@regal latch i throwed a team (At least you can change into Wellspring pon Here)



cute and adorable
caly spam
