and as a fire type intimidate mon by incin

[foggy lodge]

It has the very very small niche of fast will o wisp

[solid frigate]

at this point just use incin

[foggy lodge]

But its not even fast enough

So its like just mid

[twin kindle]

I still remember the gift arcanine with safety googles

Idk why I remember it 😭 but it came so late in like reg D

[foggy lodge]

Maybe even regular arcanine is better

Not really

But i remember using it in reg H

[solid frigate]

i seen Harc in bham but i don't think is good

[dense latch]

entei would fix the physical mon heavy team issue a bit

[twin kindle]

I remember when Harc got a time in the spotlight and became like the main meta threat for like one regional

Then everyone realized it wasn’t that good

[dense latch]

bc entei cant get intimidated

and zama doesnt really care that much

[solid frigate]

yeah Heavy slam is just for Flutter

[regal latch]

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2025regg-2297204450

[dense latch]

it’s good coverage in general for tera fairies and ghosts

[regal latch]

So, I basically just don’t know what I’m doing but I think the team is good enough.

Feel like I just misplayed it.

[solid frigate]

i mean

They don't have a restricted

and Chandelure walls the team

[foggy lodge]

The opponent using thunderclap into the encored rage powder amoonguss JAJDKDKFKF

[solid frigate]

cancerous match-

[dense latch]

okay

so first idt rock head’s the right ability for harc, intimidate is why it has a niche

[molten oasis]

Aww

I miss harc, harc’s so cool

[dense latch]

i think the tera use was unnecessary given you weren’t under any real damage threat that you couldn’t tank without tera

and also given you were already asleep

[molten oasis]

Incin exists

So it’s not good lol

[dense latch]

yep

but they wanted to use harc and lower ladder can let it slide

[dense latch]

i think what cost you the game was not bringing anything to deal with raging bolt

[left bobcat]

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2025regg-2297208390-6suw4pak5rciskv835fnqu4wqqhtjtxpw

i really like this core

incin/sinis/rapid ursh

[dense latch]

you had a few chances to spore tinkaton which i feel like would’ve been better

[dense latch]

that wide guard at the end there was kinda confusing too

[twin kindle]

It was funny seeing the regional after it became a meta stay for a little

I vividly remember one surging strike ohkoing it

😭

[left bobcat]

that wide gaurd thooooo

[regal latch]

Okay I’m listening

So why was wide guard a bad selection?

I definitely misplayed all of those turns and didn’t bring anything to check raging bolt.

[solid frigate]

wide Guard is suppose to block Spread Moves-

[mighty stump]

Omg I would

[molten oasis]

One would obliterate it it was so funny

[tawdry pagoda]

Is embody aspect or defiant ogerpon grass better?

[molten oasis]

embody aspect applies when it tera's

[tawdry pagoda]

Yeah

Im assuming it wasnt as reliable

[molten oasis]

are you just asking which ability is better?

[tawdry pagoda]

Yeah

[molten oasis]

its a bit situational but i'd say Defiant

[tawdry pagoda]

I was thinking defiant so i dont have to rely on tera too much

[molten oasis]

nice into intimidate

i think ogerpon would be strong regardless of its ability in general

[tawdry pagoda]

I agree

[twin kindle]

Me still being bamboozled at them giving the sturdy oger the defense boost

[solid frigate]

idk whyi want to eat breakfast at 5 am-

[left bobcat]

[molten oasis]

[left bobcat]

[charred saddle]

protect can have a chance to fail if used after endure/wide guard

idk if its the same thing with quick guard tho

[tiny karma]

Move: Quick Guard

The user and its party members are protected from attacks with original or altered priority greater than 0 made by other Pokemon, including allies, during this turn. 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.

Does tera boost Aqua Jet to 60 damage?

[next stump]

I think so

[cyan briar]

Heyo, does anyone know how strict the rules on genned pokemon are nowadays? I read that people have actually been getting banned, but can't find anything if that's for illegal movesets or genning in general. I managed to get a raging bolt through GTS but i'm pretty certain it's genned (pretty well tho. correct date, location etc.)

[next stump]

Good question but unfortunately we can't really discuss genning here since this is a partnered server. What I will say is that if you bring genned pokemon to any IRL event larger than a small local tournament, their technology is good enough nowadays to detect it very easily

[real prairie]

Bottom line, if you suspect it's not right, don't risk it

[cyan briar]

oh yeah, makes sense. Yeah i didn't plan on hacking anything myself, just feels nearly impossible to get the competitive region excluxives :/

[next stump]

If you want to talk more about questions, you can DM me

[real prairie]

Check out the trading channels, for the right number of apriballs they can pretty much find you anything

[stray girder]

is recoil considered a secondary effect with sheer force?

[solid frigate]

Somehow-

[tiny karma]

Ability: Sheer Force

This Pokemon's attacks with secondary effects have their power multiplied by 1.3, but the secondary effects are removed. If a secondary effect was removed, it also removes the user's Life Orb recoil and Shell Bell recovery, and prevents the target's Anger Shell, Berserk, Color Change, Emergency Exit, Pickpocket, Wimp Out, Red Card, Eject Button, Kee Berry, and Maranga Berry from activating.

[stray girder]

life orb???

[spiral ridge]

Yeah so smack an LO on that bitch

Mhm

[stray girder]

do i still get life orb dmg boost

[spiral ridge]

Mhm

[stray girder]

thats broken

[spiral ridge]

Scarf is actually better

Usually

[stray girder]

scarf is always better

[spiral ridge]

More people run it afaik

[solid frigate]

No?

haven't seen people run that now

[spiral ridge]

Do people not run scarf Lando a lot?

[stray girder]

is explosion "recoil" considered a secondary effect?

[pallid hare]

nope

[spiral ridge]

Oh I thought scarf was more normal this reg

[spiral ridge]

I just haven’t seen lando in general 😭

[next stump]

scarf lando-i is nice into some miraidon style teams

lando-t got shot and buried out back a long time ago

[spiral ridge]

Yeah

[stray girder]

can sheer force boost multiple times?

like with life orb does it give an additional 1.3 boost if the move already had a secondary effect

[left bobcat]

In front of pagos?

[next stump]

no, i believe it just boosts once

it won't stack

[chrome knot]

jesus sorry lando t

[left bobcat]

Yeh bro can’t STACK IT LIKE ME

[stray girder]

why is mienshao not used more, just wide guard and fake out should make for an absolutely busted mon

[left bobcat]

Because

[stray girder]

also hitmontop

[left bobcat]

Ig because they are out done by other options

[stray girder]

what makes incin better than hitmontop

[real prairie]

Scarf Lando also better into Zama teams due to it being able to outspeed Zama and Pao

[real prairie]

Bulk, parting shot, intimidate,

I climbed up to 1700 with caly shadow, so much easier lol

[little plank]

Tatsugiri has Terastallized into the Stellar-type!

Indeedee used Helping Hand!
Indeedee is ready to help Tatsugiri!

Tatsugiri used Muddy Water!
The opposing Calyrex avoided the attack!

The opposing Calyrex used Glacial Lance!
(Indeedee lost 100% of its health!)
(Tatsugiri lost 0.7% of its health!)

Mind you his calyrex was tera fire at 20% and it was raining....

[bold geode]

Or even coaching

Or that is what i remember from what Alex Gómez said

“My little fishy”

[tiny karma]

Move: Feint

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.

I know the Gholdengo on that team uses specs

[torn parrot]

You just never see it because ussually when people wanan use miraidon they just pick the first place one

[foggy lodge]

But why specs ok Dengo over Miraidon?

[balmy glen]

Because u lead chi mirai a lot

So it makes up for the dmg. U never can lead gholdengo Chi together

[dense latch]

yea same prizes as san an regionals i think

6k for the winner

at least according to vr

[foggy lodge]

Its the same prizes for every region

This also means Gholdengo and Dragonite regional champion

Huh

Actually who built the team?

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2025regg-2297617146

covert turtle

[next stump]

i wonder if the prizing extends down to top 16

because that means you only need 7 wins for cash prizing

which is insane compared to larger regionals

[foggy lodge]

Yeah its top 16 money prizing

For this one top cut received money

Because it was a top cut of exactly 16

[next stump]

Good evening. I just wanted to report that I’ve had much better results with the adjustments you all gave me.

I’m probably going to make another team. A sand team with Tyranitar and Harcanine as the core.

I'm sad to inform my Calyrex got fully paralyzed in my top 8 match to lose the chance for Chesnaught to advance into top 4 of Merida Regionals, but I'm very happy to have brought a friend I had with me since 2013 to make top 8 of a regional 12 years after. Longer post later
