molten oasis
#

Cool shiny tho

#

I might go hunt shiny kyogre

#

It’ll take 5 years

#

But it be cool to run the pink fish with the blue dog if zacogre ends up being good

molten oasis
#

Hell no lol

solid frigate
#

thats the easiest to get shiny Ogre lmao

molten oasis
#

How does shiny hunting in go even work

solid frigate
molten oasis
#

It’s 1 in 20? Damn

#

But you have to find the kyogre

solid frigate
molten oasis
#

And catch it

#

Which is not easy

solid frigate
molten oasis
#

Oh

#

Here’s the other thing, you only get the option of pokeball great ball or ultra ball

#

I’d love to put one in a love ball

#

oh god that take forever

solid frigate
#

oh Apri ball

#

then nvm i guess

#

and it use Premium ball as well unless you have Master Ball

molten oasis
#

Eh, I mean it would look ok in a pokeball

solid frigate
#

+No Kyogre raids in Feb so yeah might as well do the hard way

next stump
#

it takes about 20 hours to find a shiny legendary from dynamax adventures if you have the charm

#

it’s not too bad

molten oasis
#

…so uh

#

What if I don’t have the charm

solid frigate
#

Painfull

molten oasis
#

Like ig if I could spend the week getting the shiny charm then start grinding

next stump
#

unironically quadruple the time

molten oasis
#

Could also start playing some kyogre

next stump
#

it’s 1/400 instead of 1/100

molten oasis
#

Ok I need the shiny charm or I will lose my mind

solid frigate
#

i joined people on go fest for Primal Groudon and Kyogre

molten oasis
#

Dawg it’s been 30 minutes where is my food

solid frigate
molten oasis
#

Fucking chicken tenders

#

It does not take 30 minutes to make chicken tenders

twin kindle
#

Maybe you were scary

#

And they chickened out AngelVulpix

solid frigate
#

they can't deep fry a Blaziken lmao

molten oasis
#

I’m not a scary person

twin kindle
#

Ohhh so ur a very tender person 🥺

molten oasis
#

I’m matching cat pfps with people and I have a bed full of plushies

twin kindle
#

Guys I’m so funny I should get a stand up show

molten oasis
#

I am not a scary guy lol

molten oasis
#

Anyway back to calcing mystic kyogre

#

Probably wanna play offensive kyogre with Zac

#

Calm mind seems clunky on paper

solid frigate
#

i might just go with Hard TR Dialga CIR for the meantime

molten oasis
#

Dammit dude what’s there to calc, kyogre eats like most things naturally

cyan smelt
#

Does it eat a body press

molten oasis
#

Yes yes and yes

twin kindle
molten oasis
#

Eats glide and tclap and if it eats +1 play rough it eats +1 body press

#

Tclap from LORB

Well, unless I go really slow kyogre

twin kindle
solid frigate
molten oasis
#

Yea it does

#

I’m talking about with zacian

#

Do I really wanna run calm mind cloak zacian which is a slower set with zacian who’s a faster guy

solid frigate
solid frigate
molten oasis
#

Palkia good just hit ur shots Wolfe_Hello

#

Eh that’s fair

solid frigate
#

yeah cuz i don't think you would like CIR Hard TR in Double restricteds for that

twin kindle
#

But yeah I agree cm kyogre is kinda weird in such a offensive team

solid frigate
#

lmfao i knew it

molten oasis
#

Oh actually tho here’s the thing

#

Zacian only really has to kill bolt and rilla for kyogre

#

And ig hands

#

And miraidon

twin kindle
#

It does have good synergy

molten oasis
#

I also use Zac as a clean up guy

#

When Zac enters the field it’s usually positioned to take kills

twin kindle
#

Could always go scary face torn Yandere throw the other tw off guard

molten oasis
#

Eh so actually CM ogre with Zac and rilla doesn’t sound too bad

solid frigate

Palkia @ Leftovers

  • Spacial Rend
  • Hydro Pump
  • Tera Blast
  • Protect

I'm not confident on running Trick Room with Palkia at least-

twin kindle
#

Why Tera blast over tr 0-0

solid frigate
twin kindle
#

And why lefties

molten oasis
#

Technically speaking kyogre would be the main focus and zacian would be the clean up crew+anti bolt and rilla guy

#

Yea that could be fine honestly

solid frigate
twin kindle
molten oasis
#

I’m down to run some sets if you want

twin kindle

Omg me tooo

very speedy spore

#

just need to play with weezing tho kekpoli

astral kelp
#

is that something actual people do

charred saddle
#

yes, and its only probably niche

cyan smelt
#

With caly I everywhere toedscruel is not good

charred saddle
#

since it doesnt really offer much

molten oasis
#

or pao

astral kelp
#

Doesnt toads ability stop that?

#

Last in prio

cyan smelt
#

Even incin which usually wears safety goggles

#

It just means spore is normal priority

#

And it's slower than chien pao

charred saddle
cyan smelt
#

With weezing

charred saddle
#

thats why u need weezing to turn off the ability

and be speedy spore

astral kelp
#

Ye so what's the point of choice scarf on him?

#

Oh wheezing

#

I do wanna do that at some pointn

cyan smelt
#

You're about one or two regs late for that

astral kelp
#

Head me out

#

Monkey guy

What's his name poison type?

knotty mirage

Monkidori

astral kelp
#

Nah grafaiai

#

Wait no not him

#

Who's the one that like steals an ability?

cyan smelt
#

Alolan muk

charred saddle
#

honestly all ur ideas are something in the past reg

astral kelp
#

Noh like it changes the allies ability too

knotty mirage
#

Yeah that's grfaiai

astral kelp
charred saddle
#

oo

astral kelp
#

Unburden?

knotty mirage
#

Yeah it's not good idea to use older reg build

charred saddle
astral kelp
#

Speed is doubled on held item loss; boos is lost if it switches, get new item/ability

knotty mirage
#

Unless it something like dondozo tatsugiri stall poison still work just slap caly shadow on that team

astral kelp
charred saddle
# astral kelp How do I check for that?

gonna be honest. aside from go stamped

its legit at best, u cant never differentiate clones and the original mons

thats why i always ask for go stamped

legit mons =/= legal

#

also, even if its like legit at best
always try to get proof of it as much as possible

proof of redemption if its events
trainer card with handwritten notes with today date if its self caught

#

this is like the best you can do.

as someone once great (i just forgot who said it), if u want the safest option, do it yourself

  • go stamped and home stamps ig kekpoli
astral kelp
#

Ic why go stamps are valuable

charred saddle
#

yes

#

especially still in go, since u can custom OT

astral kelp
#

How does custom ot work?

#

All I need

mint void
#

Same for IVs(though most legendary have a set if minimum IV) 6 iv shinies are pretty much impossible except they are guaranteed or have like 4 IVs guranteed

mint void
#

Spore will always go last on toedscruel due to the ability

mint void
#

Often the met message isnt correct. Cant tell by heart what I should say.

charred saddle
#

what? ur point doesnt make any sense KekHands

#

met message isnt the problem.

mint void
#

Just saying u cant really know

charred saddle
#

ill just show u an example

mint void
#

Only way could be the met message

charred saddle
#

this is a shiny Hzorua

#

u think this is hacked?

mint void
#

Yeah

#

Thats what i mean

charred saddle
#

no. bred it and hatched it myself.

wispy spade
#

The met message can be customized with hacking software

charred saddle
#

see? ur point doesnt make any sense

#

met date follows switch date

mint void
#

@charred saddle so u played on ur aystem clock?

charred saddle
#

if u date skip its gonna follow switch system

mint void
#

Fair then I guess but I feel its the only way you could tell since its probably the hardest to change as many people use bots.

#

Who dont allow an exact change.

#

Like you just kinda have to use common sense or accept risks.
Unreasonably perfect mons are unlikely to be legit

charred saddle
#

look. im only pointing that u cant differentiate clones and not

hacked mons are an entire different case

read the case on this at #hackcheck_discussion

#

hacked mons usually have telltale red flags and if its badly hacked it can trigger 10015 error in home

mint void
#

Im not arguing against.
Juat saying if u wanna have a shot at telling you have to look at every info page.

astral kelp
#

Also why does doodle cancel when you switch out :(

#

My dissapointmmetn is immeasurable and my day is ruined

knotty mirage
#

I'm not sure if this gonna work especially when doodle will fail agains't as one and phrotosynthis

astral kelp
#

It works

#

Like really well it's pretty cool
But if you switch toad out it resets the ability

#

For some fucking reason

mint void
#

@knotty mirage im more worried abt doubles scarf

#

And lorb incin

astral kelp
mint void
#

@astral kelp wtf does falinks do btw?

astral kelp
mint void
#

I genuinely dont know

astral kelp
#

The entire point of the team to start off with

mint void
#

Mirror herb?

astral kelp
#

It's kinda crazy actually

mint void
#

Why that...and what does no retreat do?

astral kelp
#

But yeah because doodle resets on swith out I can't use toad grafai strat

cyan smelt
#

falinks is made of paper

mint void
#

FYI we are VGC based mostly so idk what Tier this is in SD

astral kelp
#

He's got good defence tho

#

And abysmal special def

#

I got him full bulk for this strat so flamingo can carry

#

Problem is that flamingo gets like literally 0 support so it just kinda dies 💀

#

Since no retreat stops me from switching out

#

So I'm kinda forced to run roost

mint void
#

@astral kelp explosion?

astral kelp
#

Maybe I shouldn't have falinks be tánky so he dies

mint void
#

Idk if it can explode

astral kelp
#

Nope :(

mint void
#

Nah he cant even kill himself

astral kelp
#

LOL

#

I can just go like

#

Make him really hard damaging so they want to kill him and detect flamingo

mint void
#

@astral kelp bro ngl just try out the VGC format

astral kelp
#

I did and instantly got swept turn 1 by miraidon ;~;

astral kelp
#

It was miserable lmao

astral kelp
#

Like my full bulk anihilape

#

Just kinda died

mint void
#

Miraidon is lead a lot in their teams.

astral kelp
#

How do I counter it even?

#

Ig I could go like raichu lmao

#

They would never see it coming

cyan smelt
#

use a rental

mint void
astral kelp
#

I have a few

#

None very good tho I'm just playing around for fun not really getting into full on competitive yet

#

I got like an archaleadon rain team with moushold flamingo

#

A palafin plus blood moon ursaluna trick room cyclazar

astral kelp
#

I like him :)

mint void
#

@astral kelp do u have a restricted?

astral kelp
#

this was the team i made for vgc

#

instead of ou

#

Tbh I'm kinda just not too familiar with the legendaries

wispy spade
#

Expanding force on a physical attacker and no fake out smeargle?

#

Also no way to stack rage fist

astral kelp
astral kelp
cyan smelt
#

4 types weak to caly-s is yikes

astral kelp
#

I think one of the main things I need to get settled in is just naturally knowing the type weaknesses

mint void
#

@astral kelp u are pretty off on aome items

astral kelp
#

Pls ignore eject button

mint void
#

White herb just doesnt do anything om ursaB

wispy spade
#

What does white herb even do?

mint void
#

Choice Band is Ok but Clear Amulet is just better since incins intim just bringa u back zo no boost with band AND u cant switch moves

#

@wispy spade nothing

#

Cleanse a parting shot i guess

wispy spade
astral kelp
#

I just kinda assumed you only really use glacial lance

mint void
#

Meh

#

Wide guard just full walls u

astral kelp
#

True

#

I imagine wide guard is really valuable rn

#

With the calyrexes gholdengo and ursaluna blood

real prairie
#

Sorry was sleepin'

mint void
astral kelp
#

Really I thought gholdengo was like perma op

cyan smelt
#

i'm losing a lot today

molten oasis
#

Dengo gets held back by speed

#

And needing set up for genuine damage

astral kelp
molten oasis
#

Yep

cyan smelt
#

one sucker punch or shadow ball also ends him

#

or heat wave

molten oasis
#

Yep

#

Also doesn’t do super well into shifu

cyan smelt
#

any dark, ghost, electric, fire or ghost move he doesn't do well with

#

and ground

real prairie
#

or water

molten oasis
#

It also has a good mu into

#

Let’s see, uhm, uhhhh, zama and sorta CIR

#

Which are solved by better mons

real prairie
#

it has a good defensive MU into Zama but struggles to do anything back

cyan smelt
#

Shadow ball

#

The problem is a lot of cir teams also have pelipper

molten oasis
#

Hearth I actually think gives it a really rough time

#

And incin being on so many teams is also terrible for it

lofty tartan
#

SHADOW BALL reeeeeeee

cyan smelt
#

Kyogre gives it a rough time too

molten oasis
#

Just not a good format for it unfortunately

real prairie
cyan smelt
#

Yeah it can shadow ball but not really mir

real prairie

I may not be bringing Zama to euic

real prairie
molten oasis
cyan smelt
#

Idk if I should bring this team to Brisbane regionals or if I should go at all, had a few losses today

balmy glen
#

im known as the zama guy atp since all my best finishes are with it but ive been farming ladder with csr and miraidon and ive never felt something so broken in my life

#

its like playing the game on easy mode

molten oasis
#

They are pretty busted lol

#

And that’s valid

balmy glen
#

never reached 1600s in bo3 on 10 accounts within a week since reg d other than me using csr and miraidon variations lmao

#

well thats also cuz i didnt grind with zama to not show my techs but ye

molten oasis
#

Fair enough. Not sure if zama’s in a great spot atm either

real prairie
cyan smelt
#

Ez win

real prairie
#

I may be trying to do a thing... 👀

cyan smelt
#

It's good that red card incin seems to be working for you

balmy glen
#

I think im locked for a day 2 if i brought zama to euic

#

But like

#

I dont think Zama can win an internat rn

molten oasis
#

Ic

balmy glen
#

whats also perfect is im zamas strongest soldier and the current zama teams 50/50 Miraidon so ik the most annoying lines lul

real prairie
balmy glen
#

tbh if someone wins internat with it fairplay

#

Im pretty sure the people ive worked with before are the only ones who could possibly do it tho

cyan smelt
balmy glen
#

nah red card should just remain as a funny gc tech

#

tried it in bo3 and its only ever worked back in like reg b lol

You can threaten calyrex shadow with sneak

I wonder if it’s a mixed attacker

#

Or physical

solid frigate
#

if you have sneak does it kill CSR with no Attack invest?

torn parrot
#

Not sure

#

But the item is basically a life orb right

#

I’d imagine it’s close

solid frigate
#

0 Atk Giratina-Origin Shadow Sneak vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Calyrex-Shadow: 132-156 (75 - 88.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

So close

at least a Potential threat on Life Orb sets

How much atatck invest does it need

I'm starting to realize why people don't use Kyurem black

Because you need to run loaded dice?

Yup

bold geode

And he got the most awkward speed tier of all time

That's a pretty high number

And he's lowkey just a big baxcalibur

But that's not the point !!!

I wanna be able to use Solgaleo and have a fighting chance

I think he's next on my list

After Kyurem Black that is...

cyan smelt
#

Ogerpon is a tactical nuke and miraidon has an insane movepool

shadow wind
#

Gholdengo is really underrated I feel

#

Especially into the Tang team

cyan smelt
#

Nope gholdengo is not good in this meta

shadow wind
#

They abused the fact that there is 2 steel types that are used right now and both are restricteds

shadow wind
cyan smelt
#

Gholdengo ain't it

#

Too many things resist it

shadow wind
#

Give that man some redirection and he's a menace in TR

#

Too many things resist steel and ghost?

foggy lodge
#

Not that good

bold geode
cyan smelt
#

Chi yu spread ends it

shadow wind

Chi yu spread ends 90% of the meta

bold geode

Gholdengo is tough to position but it can still be good

foggy lodge

Works on the conventional balance teams

shadow wind

That's like saying "CIR is bad because so many things resist it"

bold geode

Oh dang, Rillaboom must suck too then

Gholdengo just won a regional

Gholdengo just won a regional on a non balance team at that so

shadow wind
#

Oh hey it did

foggy lodge
#

With Dragonite

shadow wind
bold geode
#

I think it's still good
Gholdengo will always be good solely cuz it's Gholdengo
It's just not at the best spot compared to other points in metas since you have Shadow Rider, a lot of comps do run Chi Yu, Miraidon does a ton of damage, Dark Urshifu is a bitch, like it's gonna have a hard time but it's not bad by any means

shadow wind
#

Soak tatsu on a Miraidon team is yucky

i just realized that’s a soak tatsu

Why are its wings so fucking big man

shifu aint good for it either

They are not that big😭

Gholdengo automatically has a get out of jail free card always cuz of what it has

foggy lodge
shadow wind
#

He makes his own rules

shadow wind
bold geode

Like it might not be good in certain meta situations, but it'll never be downright bad

dense latch
#

i mean i feel like gholdengo actually works better in these dozo teams

foggy lodge
#

It passed the final test with this regulation

shadow wind
#

I'm using it right now with Kyurem Black and it's been overperforming lowkey

we saw it in reg h

bold geode

the ability to just blast something with specs make it rain or chip down for dozo is really nice

But also

#

I ain't see no restricted doin this

At least it's better than reshiram

I like Dengo CIR

I'll have to get to Reshiram eventually...

shadow wind
cyan smelt

The biggest wtf for me was when I was playing someone and they had will o wisp on their reshiram

molten oasis
#

I played dengo CIR early reg g 2024

bold geode
#

Like if you run a bad restricted and the team is bad then I believe one of two things will actually happen

  1. The team will just be bad, you'll lose
  2. The team will actually feel good at first or for a bit cuz another Pokemon will sorta "step up" and be a second "restricted" for you
    But not in like a way where like for example you're using Caly Ice Chi Yu and you're up against Zamazenta
    The Pokemon will come to more games than your restricted and low-key if this ever happens even slightly then automatically you fucked up
#

Your restricted should be able to come to at the very bare minimum 95% of your games imo

shadow wind
#

I've been running some bad restricteds and this is 100% true

cyan smelt
#

Run dawn wings

shadow wind
#

Nah I ran Lunala like 2 restricteds ago, would be too soon

bold geode
#

If you feel like your restricted can not come to that many games, then that's a bit of a problem

shadow wind
#

Like I'm not doing anything crazy with them, just getting to 1500 on a new account

#

I wanna do that with every restricted(Besides the bad bad ones)

bold geode
#

Now once again
If you are just casual and you wanna do that, go ahead
But as far as like "oh hey I'm competitive, I wanna get better, I wanna achieve the best results I can possibly get and improve to get even better results" these are just the honest facts

shadow wind
#

Yup yup

#

I wanna improve my team building so I'm seeing how building around different centerpieces works

bold geode
#

Cuz sadly this isn't like example like Marvel Rivals where you can play shit characters at events and possibly flex cuz you're goated with it
At some point especially in this meta, you'll hit a wall if you're running the low tier restricted

shadow wind
#

I've found the wall with KB is 1300

#

Have yet to hit 1400 with him 😔

molten oasis
#

I’m just built different

bold geode

Fair enough

True

shadow wind
#

I'll see how Zacian goes when I get to it

#

Cause currently KB is so bad 😭

#

Bro can't do nothing to CIR

bold geode
#

But yeah if you're just wanting to do shit for fun like yeah sure fuck it do whatever

shadow wind
#

I challenged myself to hit 1500 with every restricted

bold geode
#

Like I make content, I can't judge

shadow wind
#

For team building purposes

bold geode
#

Also Wolfe changed the thumbnail for his Yanmega video after like
A month of it being up

shadow wind
#

He does that sometimes

bold geode
#

I mean I get why

shadow wind
#

Like the Sneasler video(I think)

shadow wind
bold geode
#

It helps algorithm/views and shit
Like idk how many he had before the change but rn he has 2.4 mil

shadow wind
#

This one changed a lot

bold geode
#

Basically it's a way he can like essentially present an old video as something "new"

shadow wind
#

Don't know why that one was so much bigger

bold geode
#

Get more clicks cuz some might think "oh hey this is a new video" and then they click and realized it's not
Basically like how a lot of YouTubers do click bait thumbnails

shadow wind
#

Seems odd

bold geode
#

Generates more views which can generate more dough which is good considering this is his full time job
Like it's not really that bad of a method to do when you think about it

#

Considering people play the videos more than once anyways
Hell I throw his shit on while I sleep or as white noise

shadow wind
#

But to get more art has gotta cost more than it gets back

#

I watch his old stuff

#

Like the "X Pokemon to Rank 1!" videos

#

Glaceon to rank one my beloved

bold geode
#

Not really
Considering he already probably pays for the editing and original thumbnails
Like really it's just a small extra fee onto what's already there

#

Depends what the stats on the videos are
The rating it gets and the analytics/what profit he gets out of it

molten oasis

Eh ig

KB literally has zero niche

#

Bro just sucks at everything

molten oasis
#

Loaded dice (this niche hardly works)

shadow wind
#

I guess he’s good into Kyogre comps?

molten oasis
#

But so is Kyurem white

#

And Kyurem white does it so much better

#

Cuz it threatens it lol

foggy lodge
#

Wolfey has to be top 5 content creators personally

#

Not just from Pokemon or videogames

#

I mean in youtube in general

solid frigate
#

KB just fucking sucks

molten oasis
#

Currently yea

#

With all the new videos he’s pumping out I’d say so

#

I like the Mario odyssey speed runner’s videos a lot rn

solid frigate
#

if there is any legendary restricted pokemon i would just think its depressing

Its Kyurem Black

At least Dusk Mane during Gen 7 is the more popular pick to change to Ultra Necrozma

foggy lodge
#

If you know spanish i would recommend it because its goated

molten oasis
#

I don’t

#

I tried learning Spanish

foggy lodge
#

The subtitles work well with his videos

shadow wind

Kyurem white was so much better

molten oasis

I couldn’t sit through it I got so bored

I ran specs tera ice, killed anything and everything
