Bo1 tech but couldhave potential. Just omega weak to incin

[modern creek]

i could bring in a water type for incin

[mint void]

Empoleon could be an idea for Intim deterent+relatively slow for TR or just UrsaBM

[modern creek]

ursaBM could work

i probably wont do TR
i wanna do a TR team at some point but not at the moment

[mint void]

tailroom works on CIR

it should be an option if u run CIR

[modern creek]

is tailroom a combo of trick room and tailwind

[mint void]

Yes

U use TR vs Tailwind/fast teams and TW vs teams with middling speed and no speed control or TR teams like u just puck the speed mode that fits best

[solid frigate]

you telling me turtle is popular

Mf he’s now an underdog

[timber falcon]

are CSR and CIR not meta anymore?

[foggy lodge]

I wish😭

[foggy lodge]

?

4th most used restricted

[solid frigate]

look at the tournament results and tell me when does turtle ever won something

2 occasions

And Koraidon just won something

[foggy lodge]

The top 4 at Birmingham? The two in top 16 of EUIC? The bunch of italian players using it at EUIC?

[solid frigate]

I’m so fustrated that it never won anything in Europe and NA

Plus Casuals only look at Finals Two Team i doubt people would care

I just have to throw my thoughts in here cuz the only innovation we ever have for turtie is

Heatran.

i know turtle is hard to make it dominant,But its just feel like we ain’t getting much

[foggy lodge]

Turtle + frog

[solid frigate]

Forg

[trim hound]

Turtle also doesn't have a real partner restricted either

[solid frigate]

In Double restricted yea-

[trim hound]

Turtle just has too many team-building issues

[solid frigate]

yeah exactly

so rn he is only underdog

[spiral ridge]

I sent this to someone else and they sent back a image of a fully roasted pig 😭

Fire ghost indeed

[real prairie]

Stupid switch didn't record the full play.

Doesn't show me hard switching Kyogre out for Chien-Pao to begin with which makes the play great reading the protect

[real prairie]

I just got absolutely ran over by a belly drum hands, focus sash trick room CSR combo

[random sphinx]

currently 0-3 in my first 3 ever

should've won the first one but I couldn't figure out extreme speed banded dragonite for some reason

[dense latch]

first of all sick play

im curious as to how you get the swsh wild battle theme on scarlet and violet though? what’s the name on the battle theme selector

[real prairie]

The song?

It's galar pokemon

Can't remember how I unlocked it but I'm sure there is a wiki somewhere

[dense latch]

oh okay thanks!!

[random sphinx]

god I'd like to fist fight the man who created lagging tail

[real prairie]

Got tricked?

[random sphinx]

no I'm just braindead and kept using priority moves

[spiral ridge]

meganium kick sounds like a fucking power rangers move

[atomic mural]

huh

[dense latch]

lmao i saw that tweet too

[foggy lodge]

Meganium not learning mega kick should be illegal

[chrome knot]

ok now the team is ready for vancouver,,,,

[spiral ridge]

yipeee

[mint void]

@real prairieImma ludicolo a bit. See how he does

Fake out encore is pretty cool

[bold geode]

@chrome knot good luck to you in Vancouver
I think I'm just done playing for now until ruleset change

[mint void]

Played 2 Farigs bro didnt do shit yet but miss muddy water

[chrome knot]

bwah why

what happened monke

[bold geode]

Low-key

https://tenor.com/view/one-piece-cry-one-piece-mid-mid-piece-one-mid-gif-3938984731501782050

[mint void]

Not high?

[bold geode]

I hate this format now
Like it genuinely feels like if you don't play the bikes or the DLC honses then you just can't win
Which I'm not really complaining

[mint void]

Papaya caused turn 2 FF

good boy

[bold geode]

It's just when literally everything else feels so bad
It's so constricted

And it's honestly just not fun to me

I'll be back
I may pop in, have a little bit of fun but like hell I'll make goofy teams
Like I had a normal Ho Oh team
You'd figure I'd still get a win or two
Nope
Felt downright unwinnable and unplayable

Even good shit like Zam or Kyogre is starting to feel that way

No matter how I play or what I use
So yeah no imma sit rest of this out

Also I don't see many more innovations or adjustments being made
I think we're at that point now and honestly it's kinda boring anyways

So imma continue a much needed break and run it back when next Reg pops in

[mint void]

good idea if u arent having fun

dont agree overall but

[bold geode]

Nah that's seriously the way it is

But yeah no fun with anything so

[mint void]

Like yeah some shit just isnt viable but

[astral kelp]

i dont even blame him for leaving

[mint void]

the roster is bigger than honse and rideon

[bold geode]

Nope

Not right now

It's wider
But is it good or gonna win something? Fuck no

[mint void]

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2025regg-2310653797 F to bro

[bold geode]

Kyogre is like aight
B tier rn honestly

[astral kelp]

super offence scarf kyogre that ludicolo runs is hella scary ngl

[mint void]

ngl....no point in arguing tbh since its a feel for you thats causing you not to have fun. Cant change that through that. just imo other stuff works too.

[bold geode]

If you think so

[mint void]

Sure its harder with them but do able.

idk

[bold geode]

Harder ain't even worth it rn though

[mint void]

yeah Im also not having fun atm

[bold geode]

Like honestly why run restricted that's gonna be a tiny bit harder to win when you can run bike or honse and just win easier
Not saying they're auto win
But they're much better than the others rn

And at this point
That's what you need

You need broken

[mint void]

yeah if u want to purse tournaments you should go for them if you arent mega comfortable with another restricted already

BUT EUIC proved. Other shit is possible

sure its wolfey but

[bold geode]

He used a bike

[mint void]

well its the bad bike hto

[bold geode]

Bruh
My boy Tyo won in Reg F with Articuno
I could make points like this
I could make points that other stuff can do good
But if you wanna win, honses or one of the bikes

Also Koraidon wasn't bad LMAO

The disrespect we gave to Koraidon was absolutely fucking insane

[mint void]

meh its defo worse than CIR and Miraidon simply cause of the intim weakness

[bold geode]

?

Why you think Ice Rider carries an Amulet

[mint void]

yeah but it at least has spread

Koraidon isnt bad but like if its not a good player piloting it it feels so easy to beat

[bold geode]

Nah
Now Wolfe's team probably is that way but because of how it is
Not many can pull Perish off

[heady onyx]

It's not even about Perish tbh, it's about creating the best endgame scenario through attrition. Disable + Encore shenanigans onto Choice locked opponents is deadly too

[mint void]

i dont get this? I mean Koraidon in general

[heady onyx]

I watched some games and he ends up forcing these 50-50 that are never in favor of his opponent

He banks of them going for the safer play and he simply reads them

[bold geode]

That team is rough to pilot actually
Actually it's one of the better ones but still
Koraidon is not that weak

[mint void]

No one said that

its just the worse bike

[bold geode]

You implied it lmao

[heady onyx]

yeah koraidon is not in a good spot compared to most restricteds true

[bold geode]

?

Are you dumb
No it is not

Koraidon is in a great spot

[mint void]

i won a IC so thats not true. Its been up and coming since beginning of Reg G.2

[heady onyx]

yeah no you're yapping

usage doesn't show it as the top restricted

[bold geode]

Hell Life Orb essentially just unlocked its potential

[heady onyx]

barely pushes top 5

[mint void]

no one is saying its a top restricted

[bold geode]

Stats don't 100% show everything sometimes

[mint void]

Its good tho.

Just the worse bike. Not top 3 in the verse

[bold geode]

Also yeah no it's not the top but it's a top

[heady onyx]

yes if you're knowledgeable enough to nuance them sure, but let's be honest, we both aren't qualified to do so

so calling me dumb isn't a clever move on your part

[mint void]

calling dumb is mean ye

[bold geode]

Bro
I know good Pokemon
Koraidon is in a great spot
If y'all don't realize that

That's actually wild

[mint void]

Nono its solid.

[heady onyx]

i dont think you know good Pokemon

[mint void]

I just feel like...bro just kills himself

[heady onyx]

Koraidon is an underdog

[bold geode]

Then tell me
What are the top 10 restricted rn

[heady onyx]

you tell me

[mint void]

Im not losing to a Koraidon below 1400

[bold geode]

I'm asking you bro

[heady onyx]

it's your call not mine

[mint void]

u gotta be decent to pilot it

[bold geode]

Don't spin this on me

[heady onyx]

im asking you to answer your own pointless question

[mint void]

its an IC champ

[heady onyx]

ima spin your bullshit on you all day long

[bold geode]

Idt it's really that pointless

[heady onyx]

so give the list

icba

i jusst know koraidon has never been top 5 usage in any tournament i watched eg g

[mint void]

?

[bold geode]

So it's bad ok that's genuinely just stupid

[heady onyx]

never said it's bad why you put words i never said

why are you so hostile like wtf

[bold geode]

See these are the same mistakes I've seen before

We doubting good Pokemon lol

[heady onyx]

no im doubting you

[mint void]

?

[heady onyx]

there is a difference

[bold geode]

Oh so now it's me lol
I'm not a good restricted at least, we got that

[atomic mural]

yeah man your calyrex shadow matchup is really bad

[heady onyx]

im doubting your logic cause it looks like a roller coaster

when logic is a roller coaster, the person lose credibility quick

[mint void]

Nah. Like Id not say I am I hate Koraidons power to just annihilate one of ur mons. I changed a mon in my team to specifically have a better MU. Its just not "great" in the sense that its harder to pilot due to its weakness to intimidate and self recoile

[bold geode]

Yeah cuz I'm tryna dance around just how fucking stupid this argument is

[heady onyx]

Your argument is misquoting me

[bold geode]

I mean for his team
He kinda don't need it to stick around lol

[heady onyx]

So I will spin your bs back to you and call it out

[mint void]

hard to argue with someone if he doesnt make a clear counter point man

[mint void]

wolfey?

[heady onyx]

they said I said Koraidon is bad

[bold geode]

Yeah

[heady onyx]

which gives them no credibility

[mint void]

yeah its just delete 2 and sing

[mint void]

yeah thats wrong I agree u said it barely pushes top 5

[mint void]

nah thats also bs tho

[heady onyx]

misquoting me gives you no credibility

why would I give you credentials from lying to my own face

[mint void]

u cant discredit someone cause they dont correctly reference your opinion. You cna invalidate arguments that dont fit into the context based on that but still.

[random sphinx]

salt cure stall might be the worst thing I've ever experienced

[mint void]

Boring stuff

[bold geode]

Lmao ok
I've literally been helping mfers in here for a while
I've been watching the meta like a fucking hawk
What have you been doing
What are your sources

[heady onyx]

you can, especially when they misquote you willingly and are willing to start an argument on that basis buddy

[mint void]

But niche viable since the ting also gets Wide guard

[bold geode]

I wanna know
What have you done

[heady onyx]

I've not misquoted someone and pushed it as the truth

[random sphinx]

it's spamming recover and protect

[heady onyx]

I definitely didn't do that

[mint void]

I disagree. You can just correct them. make your point CLEAR and go from there or just hush it. No reason to call someone stupid or w/e

[heady onyx]

As far as being a knowledge/theory guy... that doesn't make you a good player for all I know

[bold geode]

Now you're dodging the question

[heady onyx]

You can start answering it

[mint void]

Being a good player =/= having knowledge. Knowledge is relevant here not your proficiency in game

[heady onyx]

I'm not giving you any credibility, so you can earn it back through bragging rights if you have anything to show tbh

[bold geode]

I asked you
Do you not know how questions and answers work?

[heady onyx]

that's your strategy

play semantics and say you ask questions while never answering them

[mint void]

well what makes you a credible source though?

[bold geode]

He's gonna dodge that one too dw bout it

[heady onyx]

never implied I was in the 1st place

[bold geode]

Ope he answered it holy shit he does know

[heady onyx]

this is a competitive discussion

[mint void]

U just discredit urself tho.

[heady onyx]

last time I checked, it's a discussion

if you must misquote me, it's no longer a discussion

it's an echo chamber

[mint void]

Yeah but arguing against a wall with someone who doesnt really know any thing is kinda pointless

[heady onyx]

Yeah I know, that's why I'm calling out the Nike.gov dude

[bold geode]

Imma start posting memes to try and fight brainrot with brainrot

[mint void]

atp we are arguing to argue ngl. It was just about him not liking the meta which then moved to "Koraidon bad bike" and to "Koriadon good/bad overall"

[heady onyx]

for someone with such a loud mouth you sure haven't backed yourself so far

[mint void]

Put the fries in the bag bro

[bold geode]

Actually I remember you
You were a fucking problem in here before
Glad to see nothing has changed

[mint void]

EUIC backked him

check the results

[heady onyx]

???

[mint void]

well he isnt wrong

[heady onyx]

they competed in EUIC ?

[mint void]

U had some fun responses in DMs to me saying sorry lol

[mint void]

are u blind? read the 2nd sentence

Koraidont topped the tournament

[heady onyx]

you are getting reported, this is not a place I come to read these things for real

[bold geode]

I remember you and you were literally just invalid back then too
No wonder we're arguing, you were an idiot BEFORE you walked in here
Can't fix fucking stupid

[heady onyx]

1st the dumb call, now the dense too

[bold geode]

Report me fuck it

[twin falcon]

No need to report

I'm already reading it all

[mint void]

fixed it

was a lil rude but man...hard to stay nice with u man

[heady onyx]

yes yes going back on foul langage is so mature

[mint void]

u are work

[twin falcon]

@bold geode you are wrong on this one. You definitely called him dumb first which you should already know by now, it's not the way to start a conversation

[mint void]

.

[twin falcon]

also the "you have been a problem before", not needed at all. Leave to staff handle if something is going off the rails

[bold geode]

Ok I started my opinion, I'm sorry on that, won't happen again

[heady onyx]

you didn't had the presence of mind to just not be hostile whatsoever huh

[twin falcon]

No need to continue btw

[heady onyx]

I called them out and they kept going

That's a very serious hostile behavior imo

what do i know

[twin falcon]

If someone is being hostile towards you or calling you names, please report them immediately as we are not always present across all channels

[chrome knot]

not this again bruh

@bold geode wanna see something silly

i invested the wrong way,,,,

[bold geode]

[foggy lodge]

Idk

[atomic mural]

I feel like it will

[foggy lodge]

We'll have to wait for more news because what we have now is basically 0

[chrome knot]

help me please..

[spiral ridge]

go to dms stinky

[atomic mural]

Aegislash is in it so it has to be good

[solid frigate]

did you watch Wolfey's Video before asking

Honestly idk,Maybe TPCI is trying something new but i think Pokemon Mainline should still be the main game rather than Champions

[torpid wraith]

I have not seen wolfeys video

[solid frigate]

ok then good

[torpid wraith]

I just thought they would with it bringing more people into the competitive scene they don't have the switch games

I'm not big on the vgc, I'm more of a tcg player

[solid frigate]

idk what would be but i think its still experimental phase even with they released it

[atomic mural]

[spiral ridge]

God dammit I’ve seen this and still waited through it

[solid frigate]

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2025regg-2310761355

Ok that should not have worked

Snarl Spam+Urshifu

ah yes my favourite Duo

[torn parrot]

I’m actually offended right now

[heady onyx]

can you fault most players for liking gen 2 starters, especially how Totodile is similar to Fuecoco's line in design (cute lizard with big mouth yet friendly shape)

meanwhile, Tepig is the 3rd Fire starter with the same design in a row.

[torn parrot]

Chikorita looks like a blob with a leaf on its head

I don’t even know what it is lol

[solid frigate]

pear?

[heady onyx]

It's supposed to be a sauropod

gen 2 starters are dinosaur based

[torn parrot]

I feel like tepig is cute af more people should like it

[torn parrot]

What dinosaur is Typhlosion

[solid frigate]

i even have Shiny Emboar and its sick

[heady onyx]

They're not dinosaurs, they're Pokemon.

Just their design is based on dinosaurs

[torn parrot]

What Dinosaur is Typhlosion based on

[solid frigate]

should i make a new Terapagos team-

I think i should cuz the current meta is shitty

[heady onyx]

Majungasaurus/Trex line

You never noticed how comically short the arms are

I mean this isn't the right place to discuss their origins tbh, but they always were designed based on dinosaur lines

[torn parrot]

It’s a little bit of a stretch but I can see meganium

[heady onyx]

Not a stretch

[torn parrot]

Typhlosion is just like a badger or something

[heady onyx]

so you don't know xD

''or something''

[solid frigate]

@torn parrot if people think CSR players don't have plot armor

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2025regg-2310771646 just watch this

[torn parrot]

Why you acting like you know?

[heady onyx]

cause I told you

[torn parrot]

They never said what it was tho

Doesn’t even look like a T. rex

[heady onyx]

I said something more specific

[torn parrot]

That’s why it’s a stretch

[heady onyx]

Majungasaurus (which is in the Trex line but related to honey badger)

The way you replied striked me as you had no idea what they were tbh

It clearly is shaped from the Mustalidae family

Which you can root up to these but hey what do I know

[torn parrot]

Regardless if they evolved from them I don’t think the actual design is dinosaur based

But I see the other two

[heady onyx]

No no they are dinosaur based

TPC is talking about this in interviews like 25 years ago

[torn parrot]

Ah I see, guess I was wrong then

[heady onyx]

or like primitive mammals

you can think of Typhlosion as the lizard with the bright collar around it's neck too

[solid frigate]

anyways

[strange fjord]

But aren't Typhlosion fluffy?

[heady onyx]

i think its dilophosaurus

[strange fjord]

like have fur and such

[heady onyx]

not sure I'd call a fantasy image fluffy, in swome games they probably gave it fur like texture

doesn't look like so on the switch and arceus legends

[strange fjord]

https://tenor.com/view/typhlosion-pokemon-sleep-pokemon-typh-pocket-monsters-gif-9681923315037263300

[heady onyx]

yes but that's a 3rd party image

[strange fjord]

https://tenor.com/view/typhlosion-tuesday-meme-gif-5109207821042719955

[heady onyx]

That isn't official material

[strange fjord]

https://tenor.com/view/pokemon-typhlosion-tuesday-gif-12713113255833901878

[heady onyx]

there's some fur definitely, but fluffy, it's up to interpretation

[strange fjord]

yeah i figure it has some fur covering its body

but lizards dont carry fur. only mammals right?

also yeah, it has 100% fur.

[foggy lodge]

Its supposed to be based on a Yo-Kai that transforms into a badger

But its like so deformed from a badger that it doesn't resemble it anymore

[astral kelp]

aint now aqy

[swift sleet]

what is the best ev spread for competitve

[solid frigate]

what mon

[swift sleet]

kyogre

and uhh

zekrom and gholdengo

[solid frigate]

what playstyle are you doing for Kyogre

Calm Mind?

[solid frigate]

why do you want Zekrom-

[swift sleet]

best electric type

isnt zekrom good for comp??

[solid frigate]

are you trolling lmao

[swift sleet]

no im just new 🙂

[solid frigate]

its worse than Raging Bolt.

[swift sleet]

DAMN

so what about zapdos

[solid frigate]

why do you want to use them anyway

[swift sleet]

comp ofc

[solid frigate]

what format are you playing anyway

[swift sleet]

soduyunodawae

wdym format?

like how im playing or?

where im playing from

[solid frigate]

OU,VGC,Singles,Doubles,etc

[swift sleet]

singles

singles on my switch

[solid frigate]

ok i can't help you

most of us are Doubles players and we can really help you by saying Doubles Knowledge into singles

[swift sleet]

wait shit i meant doubles mb

[solid frigate]

VGC or Smogong cuz its very different rn

VGC right now is Reg G where you can use 1 Restricted Legendary Pokemon and build a team around it

Smogon is based around a banlist,where some normal Pokemon are also banned by the ruleset and tend to have more rulesets than VGC

[swift sleet]

vgc

[solid frigate]

then i suggest just focus on Kyogre

[swift sleet]

ok but what are some great mons to start out with

[solid frigate]

Calm Mind set or Hyper Offense?

[swift sleet]

you mean the play style?

or ability

[solid frigate]

playstyle

[swift sleet]

hyper offence

[solid frigate]

then Kyogre just run Tornadus+Choice Specs/Scarf Kyogre

or

[swift sleet]

i dont have tornadus tho

Oneofakindof (Jack Wiltshire)
Birmingham regional team

Regulation G
https://pokepast.es/394a4fa6e3c8bfa4

Fun ultra offensive team starring oneofakindof favourite mon Ludicolo.

Encores used to heavily disrupt opponents and come out on top with very strong water spouts as opponents are forced to switch.

Tserena offers ice coverage against grass and raging bolt weaknesses whilst preventing sucker punches, fake outs and thunderclaps.

Fake tears allows mons that would otherwise resist water spouts to be hit for ohkos

Xehanort

[solid frigate]

a Landorus

[left bobcat]

Something flavor

[mint void]

Taking Hadron Engine Away cuts your damage output on Miraidon

[spiral ridge]

I think they want to give surge surfer to regi

[mint void]

Fair

[mint void]

Im going into generational dept for that

[astral kelp]

Ye usually I actually forgot that hadron engine buffed damage

[astral kelp]

That ain't real no wayyy

[spiral ridge]

You wouldn’t be swapping hadron would you?

[astral kelp]

Not really I did it once

[atomic mural]

wild

[astral kelp]

But I fake out and lost l

Honest regi isn't really thag good even without slow start

[mint void]

well it resets terrain no?

nad if u just Voltswitch same turn

u just have a hadron engine Raichu now

[spiral ridge]

It would but he’d have to switch mirai in after he skill swaps with regi

Or something weird

Regardless he’ll be doing swaps to get this ability shit up

[left bobcat]

YE?

[astral kelp]

True good point

Usually the play is
Miraidon raichu
Skill swap miraidon slot swap to regi
Then next turn I can give slow start to one of ops pokemon

[mint void]

Im awiting for you to swap surge surfer onto an amoonguss(its still slow as shit)

[astral kelp]

LOL

[mint void]

does it even get redirected?

[astral kelp]

There's so many ways to do fast sleep

[astral kelp]

Ye it works

[mint void]

no?

[astral kelp]

I did it a few times but regi is just kinda underwhelming tbh

[mint void]

if there were efficient ways at least it would be popular

[astral kelp]

I'd say compound eyes and + prankster tailwind is pretty efficient

Prolly the most efficient way to do it

Maybe trick room amongus prolly better

[left bobcat]

Yeah hims

[astral kelp]

Problem is safety goggles and gras a types

[left bobcat]

Just use hypnosis

[astral kelp]

Hypnosis plus prankster gravity

Is pretty good but gravity is kinda eh

[left bobcat]

YOU TAKE THAT BACK

[mint void]

thing is most hypnosis mons just aint that good or have better options

[astral kelp]

Yea

I think speed booster iron valient might be the best one for this specific strat

Or yanmega but yanny kinda sucks

Honestly link I'm starting to run out of ideas lol

[mint void]

time to commit to serious teams?

[astral kelp]

Ye prolly

[mint void]

but hey. ZA is gonna bring some new shit

[astral kelp]

Has been pretty fun so far

[left bobcat]

I THINK TF NOT

[astral kelp]

I wonder if I can make my kyurem team competitive

[left bobcat]

competitively tho?

[mint void]

queue again

[astral kelp]

Yeah it's kinda weird

Looks like they are separating the game and competitive

[mint void]

probably. Like its not a mainline game right? But there will be new stuff.

[left bobcat]

So just like you

[gentle crag]

l_delacruz__ has given 1 Gen Rep to k4x1

[mint void]

PLA also gave us freaky Reg H goat

[left bobcat]

I’m kidding

[astral kelp]

[astral kelp]

Ursaluna?

[left bobcat]

Sneasler

[mint void]

Ghost normal typing is hard as shit

[mint void]

[mint void]

[mint void]

banette

[astral kelp]

Yeah stats are ass

[mint void]

mismagius

shuppet

[astral kelp]

WYM IT'S A COOL ASS PUPPET

[astral kelp]

Yknow what that one's kinda fair

I like the shuppet line a lot tho

8 wonder why they decided that banette would be abysmal dogshit lmao

I think it's really funny how they like back tracked with flutter mane

Like they KNOW misdreavus is 10x cooler than mismagius

A finch away from giving up on us
Ooh, a flinch away (a finch away)

Fuck I missed one

I SOELLED FINCH

[spiral ridge]

Said finch like 5 times

[twin kindle]

Utter none of this to a soul

[spiral ridge]

Funny

[craggy dagger]

[twin kindle]

I feel silly today

Back to gacha hell

[spiral ridge]

Lunala is so fun I actually lost all my Zama drive

I think I just like sticking to one thing for a long time and lunala may have forcefully done it 😭

With the lovely name of “shortcake^.^” by em

[craggy dagger]

pfff

[solid frigate]

i kinda just

keep on Trying Miraidon and Terapagos while also doing CIR shenangin

[spiral ridge]

if i come back

ill do a horse i wanna be an asshole

water tera cir cus i only saw like
i actually didnt see a single wisp incin my whole GC

or tera fairy csr

idk something that people just kinda dread seeing

except amuk smeargle shit

[solid frigate]

i seen a lot of Wisps in ladders but there is no threat of not using Tera Grass or Tera Water

[spiral ridge]

lacius lurks

[spiral ridge]

tera water i just had nothing for on my team besides rilla or hearthfalem
both who struggle vs the horse

[solid frigate]

Lando kinda solves my issue on it cuz Rilla gets at least 2HKO via Sludge Bomb and Ogerpon well-

and i still have Hearthflame

but funny enough i almost wanna switch my Tera for Iron Hands to Fire cuz Burn is so fucking annoying

would CIR+Latis

work alright

[spiral ridge]

Uhm

It could?

I’d rather a healer like cress

[real prairie]

How's everyone this fine evening?

[spiral ridge]

GC has traumatized me quite finely

[solid frigate]

theorycrafting CIR Latios

[real prairie]

I understand deeply in my soul

[spiral ridge]

You had a good rating and I respect you immensely

[real prairie]

The levels of bottle I accomplished are not for the weak souled

[spiral ridge]

Jesus Christ

[solid frigate]

Latios @ Soul Dew
Ability: Levitate
Level: 50
Tera Type: Steel
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature

• Draco Meteor

The only reason i did not run Lorb cuz Lando has it

[spiral ridge]

I was doing so good earlier but last 10 just :((

[real prairie]

I'd run electric probably over steel, too many fighting types

[spiral ridge]

I can see it

[real prairie]

Yes, real pain my friend

Thankfully the mighty Fulham have renewed my joy

[left bobcat]

If you like that

[real prairie]

And my Mrs won a free custom "desk sign"

So I get one of those 😊

Thinking this one:

[solid frigate]

https://pokepast.es/9c9e233eabcc6690

[mint void]

comfey

suicune

MoltresK

Corvi

peli

volc

scizor

somemore

[solid frigate]

honestly

why did i think of Suicune in that team

cuz Peli is out of the question

[craggy dagger]

suicine mentioned?

[solid frigate]

i am using Latios and Suicune on CIR team

[craggy dagger]

why

[solid frigate]

don't want to keep using Tang Team for the rest of the reg+Me bored

[craggy dagger]

suicune

[real prairie]

Fezandipiti another niche option

[bold geode]

You're always silly

[mint void]

just got tired of name dropping

[real prairie]

Yeah fair

[spiral ridge]

Talonflame

[real prairie]

Icy wind fezandipiti is an arsehole with its ability

[spiral ridge]

oh oh

comfey learns TW and could be good for heals on CIR?

corvi

[mint void]

corvi doesnt do anything tho

[spiral ridge]

whys peli outta question btW?

[solid frigate]

This is just funny

[mint void]

.

[solid frigate]

H e a r t h f l a m e

[spiral ridge]

mmm

i mean

your team has so little speed invest do oyu even want TW option?>

why not just second TR setter like indee or farig

havent second TR setter is pretty good to have

[solid frigate]

it never works-

Like i barely even use TR in that game

i just stall TR twice

TR never works for me for some god damn reason

[spiral ridge]

i uh

dunno why CIR then 😭

i think if you terad CIR you woulda been much better to trick room

also you did a lot of their health during TR?

what am i missing

[solid frigate]

i just don't think Hard TR is the play for CIR anymore after unhealthy amount of Tang Team shenanagins

Idk

i am just testing stuff really

if that guy can test every single mon to make it work why can't i

[spiral ridge]

pft true

i think you can do fine in hard TR tbh,

[solid frigate]

the main issue is that

do i want Tang Team inspiration or just hard TR but i don't like Indeedee moment

[spiral ridge]

farig?
