timber falcon
#

im having a problem with my tw mon, i want it to be offensive but also strike first

#

and sash tornadus is too inconsistent with bleakwind

real prairie
#

whats your restricted? I run hurricane as i prefer its OHKO potential but if you aren't running rain you will face just as many issues as bleakwind

#

you could swap to Airslash

timber falcon
#

this is the team so far, also want to adress the lack of swap ins for caly-I

real prairie
#

why have you doubled up with urshifu

#

tera ghost and cloak

#

seems pointless to have both

chrome knot
#

no priority urshifušŸ¤‘

timber falcon
real prairie
#

if you want to avoid redirection from Amoongus, Tera grass. If you want damage, tera water.

timber falcon
#

maybe ive been using urshifu too defensively

real prairie
#

or swap the sash with Tornadus, go with a more bulky set and have less issues with its reliance because you have an extra turn to set up rain + then bleakwind with guaranteed accuracy

timber falcon
#

thanks for the idea, ill try that out

real prairie
#

No drama

timber falcon
#

urshifu without prio

chrome knot
timber falcon
#

looks like i have some sets to change

real prairie
#

usually you don't go priority if you are scarf otherwise its good to have it

timber falcon
#

incin did seem like a more reliable distruptor

timber falcon
real prairie
#

if you go cloak Tornadus that can have taunt

timber falcon
#

im just worried about psychic terrain

real prairie
#

always a risk, and if so, you could drop flare blitz and go taunt on that too. but sometimes you just have to concede that you will have to battle in TR

#

Also you have Rilla, leave it at the back in instances where Psychic terrain could be an issue

timber falcon
#

i see, ill try improve my tr game plan then

chrome knot
#

i mean like do u super care tho ? you have so many tools to waste time in tr

real prairie
#

and change terrain on them

timber falcon
chrome knot
#

2 fake out, incin resists the tr sweepers, priority moves like

#

idk how ur struggling ngl...

timber falcon
real prairie
#

max speed bolt probably doesn't help

timber falcon
#

kinda slapped in there

real prairie
#

If you switch in Rilla and they go for G-lance instead of Trickroom, sure you lose Rilla but you have changed terrain and stopped TR which puts the rest of your team at an advantage

#

also if you switch in Rilla... you can fake out

timber falcon
#

maybe my descision making just hasnt been up to par i guess

#

ill tweak the team a little based of the advice and save a few replays

#

ty guys

real prairie
#

no bother šŸ™‚

#

sometimes you just need to step back and take another look

chrome knot
#

its just learning small things that help you stay in control of the game

I lost Weezing to a crit astral barrage turn 1 on game 1 AND 2 of a bo3

stray girder
#

do crits ignore burn dmg reduction?

foggy lodge
#

No

real prairie
#

burns effect the damage of each physical move used, not your stats. Crits are stat based

foggy lodge
#

Yeah

#

Burns halves the BP of physical moves

real prairie
#

so with a burn and a crit its BP/2*1.5+STAB

Move: Shed Tail

The user takes 1/2 of its maximum HP, rounded up, and creates a substitute that has 1/4 of the user's maximum HP, rounded down. The user is replaced with another Pokemon in its party and the selected Pokemon has the substitute transferred to it. Fails if the user would faint, or if there are no unfainted party members.

If it’s just safe switches could always substitute right?

tiny karmaBOT
#
Move: Substitute

The user takes 1/4 of its maximum HP, rounded down, and puts it into a substitute to take its place in battle. The substitute is removed once enough damage is inflicted on it, or if the user switches out or faints. Baton Pass can be used to transfer the substitute to an ally, and the substitute will keep its remaining HP. Until the substitute is broken, it receives damage from all attacks made by other Pokemon and shields the user from status effects and stat stage changes caused by other Pokemon. Sound-based moves and Pokemon with the Infiltrator Ability ignore substitutes. The user still takes normal damage from weather and status effects while behind its substitute. If the substitute breaks during a multi-hit attack, the user will take damage from any remaining hits. If a substitute is created while the user is trapped by a binding move, the binding effect ends immediately. Fails if the user does not have enough HP remaining to create a substitute without fainting, or if it already has a substitute.

Move: Teleport

If this move is successful and the user has not fainted, the user switches out even if it is trapped and is replaced immediately by a selected party member. The user does not switch out if there are no unfainted party members.

So Flutter should be able to live Pao Suckerpunch and or Urshifu Surging Strikes/Wicked Blow

#

Detect fot Protect on Urshifu(prevents it from being imprisoned on protect)
You have to pick with Ursh if you want to run more dmg and speed or go for surviving hit.

#

Pagos itself struggles vs Zama and Koraidon. The latter not so much since its a tera hog and Starstorm at least hits that big.

#

PokƩmon go is giving you encounters for every sub legendary (lando coballion etc) and then 5 genesects

#

I tried lando a couple times didn’t get it

cyan smelt
#

What do I have to do to get them

molten oasis
#

Go to events, they’re all there

#

But you have to catch them and when you click on one you have to catch it

cyan smelt
#

Oh man I don't have enough Pokeballs for all of them

molten oasis
#

I used like, 50

shadow wind
#

I just realized I actually have to play ladder to critique my team šŸ˜”

#

VGC players when they have to play VGC

molten oasis
#

Real

shadow wind
#

It’s weird, I want to play ladder but I know my current mindset should not be playing ladder

#

The account I’m playing on is too high of stakes

#

Which is dumb because it’s a random account with no sentimental value

#

Pokemon day is upon us

#

Im pulling an all nighter

shadow wind
#

I thought it was yesterday

#

Dang is that why all that was shown was that stupid Dragonite?

#

Swear on my life that Dragonite did nothing cool

molten oasis
#

Of, something

shadow wind
#

Yeah that’s what I was thinking

#

But I ended up watching a 14 minute video of a Dragonite delivering mail

#

In the end I was thoroughly disappointed

molten oasis
#

That’s not it lmao

#

It’s at 6 am PT today

shadow wind
#

Oh bless

#

I ain’t gonna lie that hat the Dragonite had one was tough

#

He was kinda chill too

#

I mess with that Dragonite actually

Oh gotcha, good luck

You got this

opal trout
#

I’ve done nothing for the past 3 days 🤣

#

Time to get Tera shards

molten oasis
#

Aw, that’s the worst part

opal trout
#

Yeah

#

I don’t have the Tera shard charm thing

shadow wind
#

Wish I had time for tournaments

#

They all happen at the worst times for me

#

But I think the Bo3 ladder has made me appreciate them more

#

Bo3 ladder is way better than Bo1

molten oasis
#

I don’t generally have time for bo3

#

I play when I have like, 10-15 minutes

shadow wind
#

Fair

#

I’ve been loving it

#

Even just the OTS aspect

#

But also I like solving the puzzle of the MU

#

I usually lose the first game then win the next 2

molten oasis

Nice

But like there's so gonna be an ancient kalosian form with a mega that you have to transfer to gen 10 if you want it for competitive

#

Looking at plza battle system yeah it's seem's there will be no comp for this game

tired atlas
#

/j, I’m not that big of a hater

polar canyon
# molten oasis Super limited options

My bet is that they're gonna monetize it over people who don't connect it to the main games, like you don't have swsh and home connected to bring your own teams? Get the paid membership to use caly shadow

#

Incineroar rillaboom battle pass

molten oasis
#

Lmfao

lofty tartan
#

Kangaskhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan

polar canyon
#

Worst thing is I think that's a genuine possibility

real prairie
#

i doubt that with Gamefreak involved

#

then tend not to lean that way

foggy lodge
#

So

polar canyon
#

What company made pokemon unite

spiral ridge
#

There will probably be a grind way and a pay way like unite

foggy lodge
#

We got a real showdown i think

molten oasis
#

If there’s a battle pass man

spiral ridge
#

Battle pass to unlock diff teras

foggy lodge
real prairie
molten oasis
#

I hope it is real showdown but does that mean that’s where VGC goes?

foggy lodge
#

idk

polar canyon
real prairie
#

Could be

foggy lodge
#

If it was only for switch i would say it is but for mobile?

polar canyon
#

They also didn't mention champions being f2p did they

#

Probably is tho

foggy lodge
#

Maybe official VGC just stays in the mainline game but its for "testing" without having the game?

molten oasis
#

It costs like $30 lol

foggy lodge
#

Its free

polar canyon
molten oasis
#

Ok

foggy lodge
#

If its for mobile then its probably free

#

Anyways if they don't have something like the bo3 ladder

molten oasis
#

It would probably be for free

foggy lodge
#

Showdown will still be just better

real prairie
#

I think Showdown probably survives regardless because of its utility for practicing quickly and easy documentation

#

unless Champions has ingame reports

#

then GG

polar canyon
#

At least it makes official in game building more viable hopefully

foggy lodge
#

Yeah

#

You just have to register a mon in the home pokedex and you can use them

polar canyon
#

That's exactly also why I think the way they'll monetize it is by giving a separate unlocking method for people without other pokemon games

real prairie
#

the monetization comes from Home is my guessing

molten oasis
#

I’m also curious if they’ll separate that if that becomes a point of competitive play

real prairie
#

you have limited box capacity on the free version

#

if you genuinely need the mons to practice in the home dex, you need the box space

polar canyon
molten oasis
#

That is pretty annoying

#

Paying for home kinda sucks

polar canyon
#

That and just having to keep them in home

real prairie
#

I genuinely wasn't expecting anything competitive to come from today, fuck me was i wrong

polar canyon
#

I mean technically tcg and tcgp are competitive

#

And unite

real prairie
#

you know i meant VGC lol

polar canyon
#

Idk if pokemon masters has online

solid frigate
#

it has

polar canyon
#

That too then

solid frigate
#

but its not PVP

polar canyon
#

I'm also only now realizing it too but we're getting natdex vgc

#

Probably

real prairie
#

if we move to Champions, yeah

polar canyon
#

Wonder if there's gonna be restricted legendary seasons

#

It would be hype if they made it just 2 separate formats actually

#

Because I do not wanna be forced into a format with mega ray in it

real prairie
#

a format where you have to pick to mega or tera is mad though

polar canyon
#

Oh yeah they didn't touch on that did they

#

Wether you get to do both per match or pick one

#

Like if you can use tera on one pokemon and mega another in one game

molten oasis
#

I think the game would cycle those

#

Like what is and isn’t legal

polar canyon
#

At least in the cinematic trailer they're using tera vs mega in the same game right?

real prairie
#

safe to assume there will be a play mode that can happen in

chrome knot
#

ok but youre not gonna be able to stack them like you cant stack zmoves & megas in gen7

polar canyon
#

Do we know that

chrome knot
#

its that simple😭

#

why on fucking earth would they let you do that

real prairie
#

Nah, itll be a bring both, pick 1 situation

molten oasis
#

It’ll be that

#

I don’t need the mega charizard to be a steel type ty

polar canyon
molten oasis
#

Cuz that would be broken

polar canyon
#

Oh you mean stack on top of one pokemon

#

Yeah no

real prairie
#

Mega Kangaskhan Tera ghost PikaLmao

molten oasis
#

nah lmfao

polar canyon
#

I mean I'm wondering if you're gonna be able to use megas and tera in the same match like how you can in fact use z-moves and megas in gen 7 just not on the same pokemon

molten oasis
#

I’m more curious if we’ll see like, a set amount of mons gets banned every format to make things different instead of just cycling the gimmicks

real prairie
#

seeing megas and tera's in the same batle opens up a whole lore conversation too... they are supposed to be separate universes/timelines

polar canyon
real prairie
#

So ZA could be HUGE for lore

bold geode
#

@mighty stump you think there's any universe where they use Champions for the official circuit since it's on Switch and mobile?

polar canyon
polar canyon
#

Makes me wonder if we're ever gonna see team rainbow rocket again now

solid frigate
polar canyon
#

They're like still out there in the multiverse

polar canyon
#

Now I'm wondering how like urshifu is gonna fare in a meta with megas

#

Probably just fine

#

I hope mega meganium is grass fairy just so it fully counters urshifu stab

#

Just pretend it doesn't get poison jab

molten oasis
#

Peli does that

polar canyon
#

We also get tapu koko + future paradoxes which could be cool? I guess

molten oasis
#

We have counterplay lol

polar canyon
#

Not that there isn't counterplay

#

I just want more because that would be cool

solid frigate
#

at least Urshifu is gonna fuck the CHALK TEAM if anyone is gonna fight that

I didn't found anything on the website

While champions is just format with everything going nuts

#

Maybe rotating bans to keep it fresh

it would make a ton of sense for VGC to be hosted in one game that just updates itself

they can also focus on making the game not run like shit
