[solid frigate]

[bold geode]

Is your team in proper MLA format?

[rustic mountain]

are you in proper mla format

[bold geode]

I build all my teams in Comic Sans bro

[molten oasis]

[bold geode]

I wish

[balmy glen]

I do that anyways

[bold geode]

Yeah but like how you did in kindergarten
Take em during class or work

Actually
I wanna live in Italy for that reason

[molten oasis]

huh?

[rustic mountain]

idt yall were here for the discussion last night

[molten oasis]

the one with beedrill?

[rustic mountain]

if u were a pokemon and saw scrafty on the other side, would u be intimidated?

cuz to me he does not pass the vibe check

[tiny karma]

https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/ani/scrafty.gif

[rustic mountain]

nah that was before this

[molten oasis]

no

[rustic mountain]

he can barely hold up his pants, tf am i scared of?

[molten oasis]

i would not lmao

[rustic mountain]

yea i was doin vibe to ability checks and scrafty did not pass

[molten oasis]

anything else that didnt pass?

[dense latch]

i finally beat the 60-65% gxe hellhole 😭

[molten oasis]

nice

[rustic mountain]

hol up lemme find it

[dense latch]

https://pokepast.es/7991e8a18a59b17e this has been a fun team to use so far, i've been considering a no CC ursh just for some priority and maybe something instead of incin, tho it's been great in some matchups

other mons that dont pass the vibe check for intimidate-stantler and wyrdeer, granbull and snubull and staravia/starapter and masquerain

Command triggered by treeco.. Message from · Feb 28, 2025, 7:12 AM

[molten oasis]

yea i agree with those

[rustic mountain]

idk if jet nets u much value unless u feel ur consistently in board states where u need that extra chip to pick things off. otherwise i think not having that fighting coverage hurts u in other mus

[rustic mountain]

i conceded actually on snubull/granbull cuz i said it was bark and no bite but scott argued bark can still be intimidating and i was like fair enough

[dense latch]

i thought of it to chip out sashes and csr but csr has actually not been that bad with ewebs

[molten oasis]

yea thats fair

[dense latch]

i still need to get some lines figured out bc this is a fairly new team i've been trying

[rustic mountain]

yea idk if u necessarily need to care about sash that much. i havent found it to be that common of an item outside some of the weezing ones and then u just know it has the potential for sash and play around it

[molten oasis]

shifu's set is perfectly fine imo

[dense latch]

tera water on cir is something i'm trying for the kyogre mu which is another mu i need practice on

not like it's something revolutionary bc ofc it's not but i was using tera fairy before

[rustic mountain]

tera water is the best tera for cir imo

[timber falcon]

is there a specific reason im seeing more bruxish

[dense latch]

i like it next to follow me redirection

[molten oasis]

when i played kyogre tera water CIR was really really annoying

[rustic mountain]

tera fairy is too targetted now

[dense latch]

yea for sure

[rustic mountain]

i tried it for a bit myself

[molten oasis]

CIR players keep playing fairy tera

https://pokepast.es/f26f665dd4bcabc0 anyway yea with this team water CIR ended up being pretty annoying

the mu was doable cuz hands but it got annoying

[foggy lodge]

Kinda

Not as much as Incineroar tho

[rustic mountain]

yea especially for zacian teams its like come on haha, sure ive lived some bb at neutral but depends on the zacian spread

or how much chip uve taken prior

[molten oasis]

you take 80% minimum

[rustic mountain]

its good vs the drago variants if u can position right but yea if they are smart u dont have much of a chance

[molten oasis]

which is really easy to follow up on lol

[timber falcon]

https://pokepast.es/a5e141d422a5039e any thoughts here? im starting to ponder if i should go peli over torn

[next stump]

what’s the CIR speed for?

[rustic mountain]

how? its not intimidating at all

[next stump]

I’m guessing something at -1

[rustic mountain]

id assume to take advantage of the ewebs yea

[molten oasis]

why peli

[timber falcon]

scarfty definitely looks like it would try and beat someone up on sight

[foggy lodge]

Depends idk man i would be if he looks kinda gangster

[dense latch]

2 ewebs outspeed max ogerpon

and speed creeps other cir

which honestly i haven't felt that useful

[foggy lodge]

If i found him while walking on the street i would cross to the other one atleast

[timber falcon]

because sun teams ive been finding a nuisance, and wide gurd is helpful for mirror MUs

[rustic mountain]

wtf

[molten oasis]

it would try and embarass itself as its pants fall off

[timber falcon]

you get it

[rustic mountain]

yea i was jus gna say dude is literally barely holding its pants up

[molten oasis]

is rain dance torn not enough?

and what koraidon is beating you?

lorb korai stuff?

[timber falcon]

not really koraidon, its the fast flutter

[molten oasis]

isnt rilla a flutter delete button?

[rustic mountain]

i feel like im understanding the vibe of inner focus more w/ some of these answers

[timber falcon]

not next to koraidon

[molten oasis]

what are you leading?

[timber falcon]

torn and CSR is my normal gameplan for sun

[molten oasis]

like within reason you could lead tornshifu rain dance and protect shifu then attack

[dense latch]

i've played 20 games today and like 15 of them have been csr

[timber falcon]

but torn can die b4 i out speed

maybe ill try scarf shifu

[molten oasis]

if rain dance is up?

[rustic mountain]

i played legit 5 games in a row vs wolfeys perish team the other day

[molten oasis]

you should live '

[timber falcon]

its currently sash so wouldnt flutter and koraidon just kill torn and leave shifu to rot

[molten oasis]

if you invested more bulk into torn especially

[foggy lodge]

I've been finding the Pagos Heatran team lately

Annoying af

[molten oasis]

oh its sash, go to bulky cloak

i think sash torn is kinda meh

[timber falcon]

was using that before hand, but i changed it to a more offensive one that i could almost guarenteed get a juicy hit in

[molten oasis]

you have

[rustic mountain]

the set there for sash torn seems fine

is the 84 def for anything notable?

[dense latch]

):

[molten oasis]

im guessing its just max max

[timber falcon]

and if im being honest, for some reason i havent brought rilla to my lst 10 games, so maybe im just playing wrong

[timber falcon]

yeah

[molten oasis]

yea that just explodes

[timber falcon]

the shifu btw not torn

• Bleakwind Storm

• Rain Dance

[rustic mountain]

i repeat is the 84 def for anything notable

[timber falcon]

it was

[balmy glen]

I’d start laughing because he looks like a school fake gangster

[timber falcon]

but since i invested that HP its no longer relevant ig

[molten oasis]

you could also try clef CSR lead

[rustic mountain]

u get it

[molten oasis]

losing clef t1 isnt the worst thing

[rustic mountain]

for wat?

[balmy glen]

I do take naps during class just finish class work early

[molten oasis]

wait you could lead CSR clef click barrage then bring torn in next turn

[timber falcon]

lived through surging strikes

[rustic mountain]

non rain boosted?

[timber falcon]

might try this

[timber falcon]

nope

[molten oasis]

Tornadus @ Covert Cloak
Ability: Prankster

Tera Type: Dark
EVs: 212 HP / 196 Def / 12 SpA / 4 SpD / 84 Spe
Timid Nature

• Tailwind
• Rain Dance
• Bleakwind Storm
• Taunt could also try this spread

he lives rain boosted surging strikes

[timber falcon]

ill test it out

id like to change my shifu and incin set too, any advice?

[molten oasis]

uhhh

[timber falcon]

incins taunt is useful at times, but i miss flare blitz for more chip

[molten oasis]

wisp?

[timber falcon]

hm

[molten oasis]

and whats wrong with the shifu set

[rustic mountain]

keep blitz then, u arent always gna be setting rain right or even bringing torn

[molten oasis]

wisp or blitz yea

[rustic mountain]

and urshi set seems fine yea

[molten oasis]

tera fire caly has fallen off a bit so wisp is more usable

[timber falcon]

just a bit frail, hes my main win con for normal types and i find hes gone too quick

[molten oasis]

here

[rustic mountain]

id suggest tera stellar for shifu tho

[molten oasis]

Urshifu-Rapid-Strike @ Mystic Water
Ability: Unseen Fist

Tera Type: Water
EVs: 76 HP / 156 Atk / 4 Def / 140 SpD / 132 Spe
Adamant Nature

• Surging Strikes
• Close Combat
• Taunt
• Detect

if you want bulk its gonna be slower

pick ur poison

i agree with tree stellar sash shifu good

[timber falcon]

what does the spdef achieve?

[molten oasis]

that spread lives most tclaps

from av bolts, if theyre max they have a boosting item so i adjusted form what it was before

the old spread has 108/180 for 252+ tclap

shifu should also outspeed that turbo bulky ogerpon

[rustic mountain]

does it live e terrain t clap tho

[molten oasis]

no lmao

[rustic mountain]

ik lmao im kidding

[molten oasis]

252 252+ might not even live

[timber falcon]

ill try it out, thanks

btw what tera type does CSR normally use?

[molten oasis]

fairy/dark/normal/ghost

fairy fell off so mostly the others

[timber falcon]

think ill go dark thanks

[molten oasis]

252+ SpA Raging Bolt Thunderclap vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Urshifu-Rapid Strike in Electric Terrain: 174-206 (84 - 99.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO damn

it actually lives that in terrain, not that anyone is using that shifu spread

[foggy lodge]

I found a grassy seed CSR yesterday

[molten oasis]

lol

[timber falcon]

is that a bad idea

[molten oasis]

not really

[foggy lodge]

And tbh i stole that game i critted it with my Iron Hands😭

[molten oasis]

id prefer a better item but calys do generally want to stay on the field

so a seed makes a little bit of sense

[foggy lodge]

Then i won game 3 because it was modest CSR and i win the speed all the time

[rustic mountain]

yea just ran this calc haha

pretty crazy tbh but yea nobody is gna be running that

[molten oasis]

yea lol

[rustic mountain]

me wen some1 uses a spread thats comparable to day 2 a regional:

[timber falcon]

btw i noticed the shifu set has taunt, should i keep it or maybe would protect on torn be better?

[molten oasis]

lmao

[molten oasis]

do you want taunt? aqua jet is perfectly fine here

i use taunt with zac cuz CIR is annoying

[rustic mountain]

think he just copy pasted the spread for the evs not the moves necessarily

[molten oasis]

it was for the evs yea

https://pokepast.es/ce49de2101cc3cf6
https://pokepast.es/78f627e95a4e498c
I need to put these ingame soon

so many materials to grind

[rustic mountain]

me seeing not a zacian team

[molten oasis]

lol ik ik

im learning kyogre, im gonna use zacogre next reg so i figured id play with kyogre a bit

for whatever reason the tailroom team was what clicked not gavins team

[rustic mountain]

good plan

[real prairie]

https://youtu.be/3RivV5Kifl8?si=B_87UwAWBvJklcfg

[real prairie]

Great breakdown of what to expect

[rustic mountain]

im good on that

[torn parrot]

showdown!

[molten oasis]

im gonna wait to see what that actually ends up being

[torn parrot]

finally

[dense latch]

same

[rustic mountain]

ppl r getting way too ahead of themselves

[torn parrot]

i hope its pure battles like just battles

[molten oasis]

it could totoally be like

[real prairie]

@torn parrot Cybertron new video features Furret

[molten oasis]

not showdown lol

[torn parrot]

im pissed off

[molten oasis]

y

[real prairie]

Y hun?

[rustic mountain]

it honestly could very well be not showdown

[torn parrot]

oh its a draft nvm

thats really cool

[molten oasis]

it could be a really limited pool of mons

[real prairie]

Haha

[molten oasis]

with really limited movesets

[dense latch]

they released a very ambiguous teaser for champions ngl

it could be a lot of stuff

[molten oasis]

kinda like the stadium games

[torn parrot]

thats is really cool tho maybe i can get some inspiration from their team

[rustic mountain]

i wouldnt say that but judging off their framing. it very well may be u either need to obtain the mon outside of champions or within champions before you can use it. and we dont know if we get change evs/ivs/moves and the like at will or anything

thats a huge component of player accessibility

[real prairie]

Haven't seen it yet, just saw the thumbnail and thought of you

[torn parrot]

oh booooooo what booo he's fighting furret so i cant see the team

[rustic mountain]

[torn parrot]

oh booooooooooo it was just a casual battle?

[real prairie]

I'm watching Jaiden animation video first lol

[torn parrot]

no wait it was pokeim

he was using furret

PIZZA

[strange fjord]

lol went from to

[real prairie]

Maybe you should finish the video before the commentary @torn parrot 🤣🤣🤣

[molten oasis]

thats fair

[rustic mountain]

its one thing to create a new home potentially for vgc/competitive but what exactly are the details on what that means for the player experience and overall accessibility for said game

[torn parrot]

if someone actually amde furret work in reg G before i did i would go into deep depression

TO THE LADDER

[strange fjord]

Gotta get there first

[rustic mountain]

it has extremely large potential but still we really dont know much to go off i think people are putting a lot more hype on it then they need to

[strange fjord]

Oh doesnt the crossplay between phone and switch battles imply that they could make a new console and just re-release Pokemon Champions on that console. So you could have access to competitive battles. All you'll need is new Pokemon from the new games in Home to use them

[polar canyon]

I all I can think of is endeavor quick attack

[rustic mountain]

or just have backwards compatability w/ champions

[polar canyon]

Fear strat (furret endeavor attack radically)

[bold geode]

Sir you're in college

Have I found the rarity of a college student that doesn't procrastinate to fuck

[spiral ridge]

@charred saddle I’m tired, lightheaded and can’t form a single thought
You ready to watch some GC 😭

Perfect time to play a thinking game

[polar canyon]

I feel like not that many switch games won't be compatible with switch 2

[strange fjord]

but the console beyond the switch is what i was thinking

[spiral ridge]

Lowkey wanna play these in bed unless you’re watching

[polar canyon]

I wonder if sv actually runs properly on a switch 2 or if the issue is just not the hardware at this point

[molten oasis]

i mean, the game is pretty poorly optimized

[polar canyon]

Where are those matching pfps from

[molten oasis]

tiktok

[polar canyon]

I feel like I should try to be active here more often

Lots of cool folks

But then I just lose interest in pokemon for a couple months sometimes and forget

Anyways I gotta get back to pokemon

Has anything new been popping up in the last like 2 months

[molten oasis]

im not super into vgc rn but i still hang around

[polar canyon]

Or is it just the usual

I saw that like, wolfey won with perish trap, again

[molten oasis]

idt any major new devleopments happened

[strange fjord]

Pokemon Presents yesterday lol

[molten oasis]

oh yea that

[polar canyon]

I mean in sv vgc

He's the king of perishing

[strange fjord]

Wolfe won EUIC with perish

[polar canyon]

Hate the strat but love the player

[molten oasis]

wolfe con perish

[polar canyon]

I just saw stuff about how he was using a max speed flutter to scout if other 135 speed mons are running max speed

That's like genius

Makes me feel dumb for never having thought of that

I think that's why I never particularly enjoyed watching his content lol

It just makes me wish I was smarter

[random sphinx]

what's the over under 500 attempts before I get 0 iv calyrex

[real prairie]

Looks like we are getting shiny Urshifu

[molten oasis]

wha?

[real prairie]

https://pokemongolive.com/seasons/might-and-mastery?hl=en

Urshifu coming to PoGo likely means shiny

[molten oasis]

oh cool

[next stump]

it’s 1/31 odds

you’ll get lucky

[random sphinx]

we're about to find out if I have the patience for this stuff or not lol

[strange fjord]

not quite since legends have 3 perfect IVs guaranteed. So its a 1/64 chance.

[random sphinx]

welp I got one with 8 iv's so we're getting closer

[next stump]

ah shit forgot about that

remember if you are doing 0 speed

that 1 and 0 IV are the same

[strange fjord]

1/64 for perfect 0IV. 1/32 for 0-1 IV

[random sphinx]

yeah I'm essentially just looking for 85 speed

[strange fjord]

dont forget to account for natures when looking for the 85 speed

[random sphinx]

or I get 0 atk and I'll just use the other one

yeah if it's red do some math

that makes sense right

[foggy lodge]

0-3 atk ivs on CSR are the same

You are always going to play a -atk nature so it ends up in the same number

[random sphinx]

so anything under 271 for atk and 85 for speed granting the right nature

243

because math

[bold geode]

Ngl shiny Urshifu is mid

[real prairie]

It is, but good to finally have it

[next stump]

i need that release date

i’m a fiend

[rustic mountain]

im holding out till we know a bit more

one thing i was thinkin tho regardless how it turns out is bringing the announcer back

[mint void]

i think its just a restricted meta I guess

Natdex type shit

[spiral ridge]

Sick

Coming down

Gotta wake my ass up

[charred saddle]

SUCK

[spiral ridge]

NO

[molten oasis]

[spiral ridge]

My eyes were barely open :(

[knotty geyser]

Can someone give me tips on a mono steel team I working on? As in items and moves and stuff like that.

My team currently is Heatran, Bronzong, Gholdengo, Scizor, Hisuian Goodra, and Archaludon

[molten oasis]

welp, note to self, if they can kill Fari t1 and I go tr mode I lose

[spiral ridge]

GC makes my brain hurt

why did he throat chop 3 times in TR as chien if he had sucker
why did the sucker not go into lunala like wtf-

QUICK ATTACK ZACIAN??

[atomic mural]

crazy

[spiral ridge]

slightly losing my mind

[molten oasis]

Lmao

[mint void]

yeah also lost to that shit

cause of quick attack ngl

[spiral ridge]

i lost earlier in it due to them confusing me with how they used chien pao but that extra bit just threw me over

[molten oasis]

So when I go “let’s sub” they attack Ursa

But when I protect they double Fari, wtf

[spiral ridge]

facing a giant damn stall team and they havent protected like once wtf 😭

[mystic apex]

I’m gonna ask a dumb question, and a less dumb question: what is the current VGC meta, and what does OU/UU/Ubers etc in terms of what format is most popular/most common?

[mint void]

rephrase the OU part please

We are in Regulation G

[molten oasis]

Hey guys https://pokepast.es/543c06b0705e94ad do you we think cornerstone would be better over pao?

[mint void]

meaning 1 restricted legendary and anything else available in SV

[mystic apex]

So they are separate questions (more or less), I’m asking what VGC Reg G meta is (the dumb question), and what the tiers like OU, UU, Ubers, all that mean when it comes to playing on, say, showdown or a more casual competitive setup against friends

[mint void]

PU UU OU and Ubers are just power tiers

They are used by Smogon Formats

They rank Pokemon into these tiers based on strength and usage. Uber allows for anything but Mons in AG. OU also restricts the usage of Ubers and so on

[mystic apex]

Ahhhh, gotcha.

[spiral ridge]

just faced a rilla mirai team and killed the rillas ally when it u turned so that it fucked up miraidons terrain and he forfeited immediately 😭

[molten oasis]

?

[mint void]

maybe crash over spinner but otherwise Id say no

[molten oasis]

Why

Just to know why do I need pao here

[spiral ridge]

MIRAIDON KNOWS OVERHEAT????

[molten oasis]

Yes lol

[spiral ridge]

bye bye rilla daer god

[atomic mural]

i used overheat when reg g came to showdown

[molten oasis]

My thought with cornerstone is I get to keep the fast mode with ogerpon and I get redirection for the trick room mode

[mint void]

Need meh. Possibly Rillaboom coverage+synergy with Ursa and Hands

[molten oasis]

I don’t need more fake out and pao puts out a fast mode for the team

Going rilla hands and Ursa means I legit don’t have a fast mode

[mint void]

I mean pao kills rilla

not swapping it

[molten oasis]

:/

That’s really annoying that I need pao for fucking rilla

And ig bolt

Awesome man nvm

[mint void]

u dont really have good tools into AV Bolt and Rilla

I guess Ursa Facade still packs both but

shes still weak to Rilla

[molten oasis]

Yea but the tr mode is so rough without redirection at times especially into psy terrain and ghosts

And flutter is faster post tw

[spiral ridge]

overaheat mirai just destroyed me

dear god

instruct glacial lance put me from full health to this

got the double KO tho :)

[atomic mural]

[left bobcat]

No tho

[foggy lodge]

Back to 1450 in bo3

Let's go

[molten oasis]

Everyone is just 2 steps ahead of me today I guess

[left bobcat]

Yeah bro

Issa a wrap

And I’m not talking about a chicken wrap

[spiral ridge]

im

a mirai just protected in front of my rilla so that a fucking alcremie could endeavor me to 30 hp

god is dead and we killed it

[left bobcat]

Damn what are the odds

[spiral ridge]

if i targeted it woulda won game but god damn

[cyan smelt]

U should always target alcremie because of decorate

[spiral ridge]

mirai was 1 hp

it was final turn of play

[cyan smelt]

Sadge

[spiral ridge]

:(

i accidentally started my next 15 games i am too tired for this shit

[cyan smelt]

Do you have any spread moves on ur team

[spiral ridge]

[carmine fjord]

Yep

[chrome knot]

[balmy glen]

[boreal abyss]

not even on his patreon?

[balmy glen]

he did on his patreon

[strange fjord]

Oh, Im broke so no patreon for me

[cyan smelt]

woah tinkaton got a new 3d sprite, her hammer is huge

[spiral ridge]

Hell yeah

[balmy glen]

I couldnt see my opponents urshifu cuz of it

Lowkey gaming

[torn parrot]

you can ask make one!

aactually im not sure what you would offer

[torn parrot]

hype as fuck cponner

genuinely impressive

[shadow wind]

🙏

Always room for improvement though

[strange fjord]

lol yeah im not sure what I can contribute for a patreon either

[strange fjord]

pretty good bo3 record tho

[cyan smelt]

i really want to use iron leaves

[shadow wind]

You're too kind

Iron leaves is cool

[shadow wind]

I think ice shard Chien pao is awesome

[cyan smelt]

there's a person on lower ladder who's using lechonk and i think it's awesome

[shadow wind]

What’s considered lower ladder?

[cyan smelt]

like 1000-1300 ig

[shadow wind]

Good range I’d say

I would’ve thought Bo3 elo was higher

[cyan smelt]

it probably is

[shadow wind]

Nah like

T500 is 1530

[cyan smelt]

it's pretty tough to climb on bo3

[shadow wind]

And 1600 is like just out of T100

Just seems super congested

Everyone’s GXE is super high though

Like I’ve only seen a couple below 70

[cyan smelt]

uh oh that makes me even more wary of bo3

[shadow wind]

Looks like you can’t luck your way to high elo unlike Bo1

[shadow wind]

Nah don’t be scared of it

Bo3 is honestly a lot of fun

Just don’t forget to look at what your opponents team is

When I started doing Bo3 I was used to it being CTS and that made me forget to check their teams

[cyan smelt]

first time around with reg g my team was doing decent but not great on bo3 ladder

[shadow wind]

And even some people I’ve played against have said “Oh I assumed you were band”

When the info is right there

[shadow wind]

Bo3 ladder is whole different beast

It really disconnects the team from the player

Cause you gotta use that team to its fullest even with the opponent knowing your sets

And decision making is just different

Your opponent isn’t guessing on what you have so they’ll make more educated plays

[cyan smelt]

i feel like i'm not so good at reading a team etc

[shadow wind]

Yeah that comes with practice

My leads are usually terrible still

Maybe not terrible but I can never quite get what they lead right

If you’re taking a while to process information I would suggest playing with the timer off

Lots of players like to play with the timer off and it helps you make the best decision possible

[cyan smelt]

timer off sounds good, there's a lot of pressure involved with this stuff

[shadow wind]

Of course

There’ll still be people who play with timer on but those will be the true tests

[cyan smelt]

i'm probably not getting out of low ladder with this team anyway lol

[shadow wind]

Thrown out of your comfort zone

Hey you never know

The team I’m using I thought it would do ok but nothing spectacular and here I am

Bo3 also reveals a lot about your team building

It is OTS after all

It really puts your team building skills to the test with how the team can function when knowing the sets

And that’s the cool part about Bo3

You’ll see so many sets and play so many games that the information gained is sometimes overwhelming

[cyan smelt]

confusing compared to bo1

and i'm worried about caly-s and miraidon

[shadow wind]

Those are the big scary guys yeah

[cyan smelt]

the only guy i have who can use spread moves is torn

[shadow wind]

Zama team?

[cyan smelt]

yeah

god caly-s is surprisingly bulky

[shadow wind]

Yeah those do usually lack spread moves

Yeah I can definitely see how Zama would struggle against those 2

[cyan smelt]

i have to predict the tera and then behemoth bash doesn't ko either

[shadow wind]

Maybe something like Flutter could be added?

Thing chunks and does good spread

[cyan smelt]

then my dozo mu is worse so idk i'll have to play later and see what i struggle with

[shadow wind]

Might sound crazy but what if you used Brute bonnet

Resists CSR and Miraidon(not the Draco or dgleam)

[cyan smelt]

then they just tera and draining kiss

[shadow wind]

Shouldn’t kill

Brute bonnet is a pretty bulky guy

But I can understand not wanting to use bonnet

He’s a weirdo

[cyan smelt]

i need rilla to take away e-terrain

[shadow wind]

You got Pao?

Cause Pao + Rilla causes problems for both those guys

[cyan smelt]

yeah got pao

[shadow wind]

Hmm, it would come down to positioning but Zama, Pao, and Rilla can deal with those guys

Sword of ruin wood hammer probably OHKO’s the average CSR

[cyan smelt]

good to know

[shadow wind]

And if you got AV you needn’t worry about an OHKO from them

Unless they get a nasty plot off

[astral kelp]

i need some help withthis team

i finally got kyurem so i can actually build it now

https://pokepast.es/78adb81a7ac5d1cf

is there ajnything that like pops out as strange or like a major weakness

the thing im most unsure about is my fluttermane

[torn parrot]

Shrek is getting so much underserved hate right now

I love the new art style it’s so much more expressive

The other one looked really goofy realistic and easy to make into memes

But defintely iconic

[cyan smelt]

Maya, you might like to know that tinkaton got a new showdown sprite and her hammer is huge

[real prairie]

Morning

I'm nearly ready to bottle my GC

But first... Breakfast churros

[cyan smelt]

Gimme

[real prairie]

https://tenor.com/view/couplegoals-peachmad-peach-and-goma-gif-22393884

[cyan smelt]

Haven't had churros in so long

[torn parrot]

BAAAAA!!!!!

YES YES YES YESBYES YES YESBYES

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2024regh-2245252016-exsd2r0vqsc442z06rmy7u7z9aez9u5pw

She’s so gorgeous you guys I love her

This will literally motivate me to play tinkaton so that her hammer takes up 25% of the screens

[cyan smelt]

How did you find a replay that fast

[torn parrot]

I remembered I made a tinkaton team with fuchsia for fun in reg H so then it rmembered the username I chose and the searched messages that had the name sand bunny

[cyan smelt]

Oh nice

[torn parrot]

TIMKATON IS REAL NOW

and she has the best fucking sprite

[cyan smelt]

Her hammer is so massive

I swear it's bigger than on cart

[opal trout]

If Tinkaton gets a mega will its hammer just be bigger?

[torn parrot]

Fat chance it’ll get a mega lol

But yes

[torn parrot]

It feels that big on cart

[cyan smelt]

I want to use tinkaton just because of the new sprite

So terapagos and tinkaton have new sprites recently

[torn parrot]

I’m gonna watch the entire Shrek movie

[cyan smelt]

Do it

[torn parrot]

Yussss

[real prairie]

[real prairie]

Enough to outspeed CSR but with a tiny bit of bulk, not had

Bad*

[chrome knot]

you outspeed csr&scarf adamant ursh

without crying and puking to random attacks

[real prairie]

Oh wait nature lol

[real prairie]

Yeah think I'd want to outspeed the lando + chi Yu

[solid frigate]

bring back scald

[chrome knot]

if only there was a way i could double my speed on top of this

[real prairie]

But still means I'm 5 speed over invested TBF

[chrome knot]

and setup ursh/pao for end game either way

[real prairie]

I don't run Ursh, but yeah I catch ya drift

Will play with it more after GC

[chrome knot]

[real prairie]

Have to finish the games no?

[chrome knot]

you dont have to play all 45…

[real prairie]

ARE YOU SERIOUS??!!

playing with purpose of squeezing in a few more just to stay in a good pts range

[real prairie]

Well, now I know

[chrome knot]

better than playing every single game on stress mode x)

[real prairie]

Which was me today

[chrome knot]

im aware

[real prairie]

Well tbf I came into it expecting fuck all because I was an idiot to begin with and handicapped myself forgetting to item 2 mons, so I guess it's just good practice

[chrome knot]

bruh

[real prairie]

Yeah I think the bottle is less surprising than getting to 12-3 with no item on incin and torn lol

what set to the whimsicotts on a miraidon team run?

[timber falcon]

so no protect?

[chrome knot]

no

aight ty

is it worth calcing chien pao to live through tera water/rain surging strikes

[chrome knot]

no bc its not happening

[timber falcon]

ig

[real prairie]

You could go max Def and it'll still die

[chrome knot]

in which going max def or any mix of hp/def to live takes away from speed or damage output

so then pao is weak and slow lil guy

pao isnt meant to deal with ursh lmao

[real prairie]

Chonky long cat

[chrome knot]

not her job

[real prairie]

Maybe after retirement

Speaking of Pao, live seen 3 Lorb Pao this weekend in GC

[astral kelp]

does it work

[real prairie]

It has a niche, but it's not great

[astral kelp]

it just kinda dies i assume

[timber falcon]

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2025regg-2310292678 a pretty scary MU, sure i won but is there any turns where i messed up?

it’s the second highest draft league for VGC, basically team captains draft players and then you go up against other teams

@next stump pms

[real prairie]

You absolute G @next stump

[mint void]

idk man. I think I just wanna prep for Reg I

Im not having fun in G mostly cause im not good

Idk...I just cant cope with the powerlevel. I did so good in Reg H

Its pulling me down so hard

At the same time I just wanna play more tourneys as practice but I have no motivation cause in my head I know im not gonna do good anyway

[chrome knot]

so what are you gonna do when the powerlevel stays the same when reg I is inevitably 2 restricted

[solid frigate]

hell its even more higher

[mint void]

Cry? No like I feel 2 restricted is just better for me. I already played double restricted before so

[solid frigate]

sometimes players are inconsistent are tend to be weird in terms of skill level

Like its hard to know

Good at Reg G,trash at Reg I
When its almost the same power level just adding 1 more restricteds and new teams

and most of the knowledge from Reg G would work in Reg I,just how to work around it

we see that with Reg H stuf like SNeasler and Jumpluff are adapted to reg G

anyways

[real prairie]

Ludi doesn't get taunt

[mint void]

thanks my man

[shadow wind]

Oh really?

Then I got no clue what dark move that is

[mint void]

probbaly knock off

[real prairie]

I wish it did, the support function on taunt, fake out and encore would be wild 😭🤣

[craggy dagger]

^^
this i think

translation is a bit iffy

[mint void]

other options are thief or fling

[shadow wind]

Yeah probably knock off

Any no one running fling 😭

icy wind then probs

[solid frigate]

Well its not the Based moveset for Crown so eh maybe

Horses

[modern creek]

yes

[mint void]

tbf anything meant to be ridden

[modern creek]

so horses, planes, trains

[mint void]

[mint void]

Miriaidon is blue

blue bike

[modern creek]

[foggy lodge]

Rillaboom, Amoonguss, Ogerpon (mainly fire and rock forms) Chien-Pao, Chi-Yu, Dondozo, Tatsugiri, Whimsicott, Tornadus, Iron Hands, Farigiraf, Flutter Mane

In restricteds, Zamazenta, Terapagos, Koraidon and Kyogre are very popular

[modern creek]

glad you didnt say landorus

[foggy lodge]

Oh Landorus too sorry lol

But incarnate form

[modern creek]

x and y called they want their legendary back.....

thats a pretty long list honestly

[mint void]

u can take tatsu off

u dont have to be bale to deal with it. Just a boosted dozo

Scarf tatsu still does things possibly but Id say the threat is dozo

just to shorten the list lol

[foggy lodge]

Well yeah but i mentioned it bc Dondozo solo is used

So like Dondozo = solo dozo and Tatsu = Dozogiri

[mint void]

yeah just shortening list cause technicality

[modern creek]

okay
i notice a few of them are covered fairly well by just having a fire type (rillaboom, amoonguss, chien-pao, whimsicott)

[foggy lodge]

Yeah Inci is very good into them

[mint void]

incin is pretty decent into all of those

[foggy lodge]

Or hearthflame ogerpon/Entei

[mint void]

also chiyu

or hands

[modern creek]

ill probably do incin just for ease of getting one

[mint void]

since u are mostly fast and can pivot out before u get hit or u run tera ghost anyway

[foggy lodge]

What is you restricted?

[mint void]

like its the best mon OAT so having one is a good idea

[modern creek]

dont have one currently

[foggy lodge]

Oh

For this format choosing first which restricted you want is better

Bc they are the powerhouse of the team/backbone

Most restricteds pair well with Incin so its not a big deal anyways lol

[modern creek]

i could possibly run calyrex shadow

id rather not do calyrex ice, ive already got two mons weak to fire

[mint void]

mam whats this team u have in mind next the Caly then?

[modern creek]

im still mainly in the messing around stage with these teams
i want to try a ninetales rillaboom pairing

[mint void]

a9 has synergywith calyIce at least

its not good tho only used with kyurem

and I think there was a CIR team too

[modern creek]

thats not a bad idea actually
somehow i forgot the snow defense boost

[mint void]

AV caly in the snow behind veil

[modern creek]

yes

fire
