i think that's its ivs when you catch it
ivs are fixed
idk i dont play any of the main games
so it couldnt have a 31 special?
im just showdown brained, dont play competitive in the mainline games
yeah you can raise it through hyper training
so it could be 31?
yes
alr
bet valid team
https://pokepast.es/aa3f89d37d3c81a9

pls don't tell me this is an updated set 
What's good
So did you ever figure out if that event was G or H
in a classic TPC moment, they replied to support tickets that we'll be playing G. they just won't send an updated form
also, I'm practicing with Jack's Kyogre team
I see that's good
Just got back into G myself LOL
I had a whiplash seeing Terapagos hardly working anymore
just me trying something different
something purely to win ^-^
At least it's going better than Zam
i am still doing shit
im testing teams atm playing 8 game BO3s, every single one has gone 5-3 š¤£
BO8??
haha no, just trying to condition myself to 8 matchs like a regional, its helping me take showdown more seriously instead of playing whilst distracted and not paying attention
Ohhh
Bo8 isnt a thing tho 
its always odd numbered to avoid draws
3 5 7 9
Yeah I was very confused
He said 5-3 so I thought matches
But it meant games I was just tad confused
each match has 3 games, but it gets confusing lol
Good mental.
I usually quit after playing against random shit twice in a row.
@spiral ridge yogurt
Any pros wanna talk comp? I'm looking to build a M ball team around Landorus I <3
just use Tangās team
Yogurt :)
Leo has border so yeah thatās Leo
beats an acc named anti kyogre w/ kyogre: 
bro is anti himselff
yo, gurt!
YSEAHHHHH
Go, Yurt!
no
lol
he was using ur guy too
Psyspam Crown right-
on which part
is he using heatran CM Pagos?
idk bout cm but it was the heatran variant
it just clicked starstorm i never saw it click anything else
huh
i answered ur questions in order
specs probably? - i was assuming the way they were playing
did he tera immediately? - nah
u needa wake up or something? 
no i know what you answer i'm just in curiousity
I'm gonna just prep for double res
Bye Pagos and Hello Kyogre Miraidon (I did fight Jeudy with MiraiOgre on my team)
@rustic mountain play csr with meā¦
sure im bout to head out inna few but i can take a look at it later š«”
hey
hawwo 
does somene have good starter team
like starter as in the starters or beginner team-
begginer team
hello!!!
EMMA
NOVA
!!!
YOU
YOU!!!!
hi 
haaiiii
Oh god
kyogres would love that team
itās an adaptation of an old team š
however, sun always procs after kyogre cuz of speed
If this Pokemon is a Cherrim and Sunny Day is active, it changes to Sunshine Form and the Attack and Special Defense of it and its allies are multiplied by 1.5. These effects are prevented if the Pokemon is holding a Utility Umbrella.
How was the original team for this to be the adaptation
if only 
Haze my children
its missing a couple teammates from the original team 
Haze
wah-???
That's cool. I'm trying/ working on a adaptation of a french qualifying vgc team that features landorus
Seeeeyuh
25th anniversary players cup invitationals adaptation 
Just use Hearthflame Urshifu Landorus core
Works with most things
lol that's the core. <3 Prob is organizing it for regulation G
https://pokepast.es/02d593f147bdde5c would tera water or grass be better on weezing
Need to replace maybe an arcanine, need to decide what to use for type coverage, and need to decide on using ursh dark or water.
Which restricted are you using
Water
For CIR
yeah i was thinking that
what now

now you go and lose a bunch
I good, abt to go to tcg local ^-^
i think i not gonna ask this timeā¦
listen-
in my defense
the original team isnāt mine
ion wanna know,,,,
itās not mineeeee
itās from thissss
but it was dependant on this
If this Pokemon is a Cherrim and Sunny Day is active, it changes to Sunshine Form and the Attack and Special Defense of it and its allies are multiplied by 1.5. These effects are prevented if the Pokemon is holding a Utility Umbrella.
i didnt know that if you both gave up on the same turn you have a draw on cart
why Sitrus over AV here?
Looks fun tho. Maybe Hurrican on Zapdos for fun?
Little gambling aspect
for recovery and parting shot access
hurricane sun is not good
iād rather weather ball instead since sun will be up most of the time
and weather ball is flexible
check pins ther eis a document with some good teams in it
Maybe u can find a cinderace there but its generally pretty bad/doesnt do anything good.
well if wolfey can make exegutter good i can make cindarce good (proabaly not)
exeguttor was good in a meta that didnt allow for amazing threats/where the power creep wasnt as insane as it is rn.
like its usable i just dont get why u would have court change ngl
I guess it transfers screens to u
but thats abt it
would you mind me making a team for me i can give you shinys
like a good begginer team
on cart?
i have 3 mons that are battle ready
Depends. I can make a rental for you maybe
i can make the mos
yea
I can look into it I guess. Sure.
a good begginer team
Anythign u want on it?
gimme a bit
cause those are 3 i alr i have made
you dont have to but if there is a spot you can add cinderace
cause i have cinderaced ev and all so dragapult
does psychic terrain stop protects or is it just offensive priority moves
DM me abt it
i did
The dmssss
Just slap a focus sash
Anyone here starting to make double restricted teams?
yea
i trying to cook with a caly shadow koraidon weezing team
Been cooking with the good ol' Zacian + Kyogre team
2 more weeks until format announcement
part of me is hoping they troll and do some crazy random format
i already signed up for millwaukee they better do double restricted
The no restricted formats were fun, but I think they'll move to doubles bc worlds will be that format this year I would think
yooo see you there, milwaukee will be very fun
i live really close so its very nice
I hope they go double I'll be in Portland for that regional
i agree, but then that begs the question of what next year will be
because weāre going to be on year 4 of the game when normally we only have 3
mythicals šŖ
yeah. Ogre+Zacian and prob resh zama...not sure on Zama tho
Yeah that's true. Unless they just swap it to pokemon champions next year if they get it out in time
True honesty. We can dream though lol
honestly imprison caly shadow goes crazy
I think zamas best partner is going to be ice rider to shit down astral
Shut* lol
Might see CSR with it too tho. Since it covers for Zamas Ghost issues
Tbf wide guard is just gonna be better in doubles
Unfraud Zama?
Be interesting to see what other mons pop up with it being double. Reshiram like you said, Palkia, Dialga even
imma do some room service stuff for next GC
for fun
ok but imagine i do imprison caly shadow
Imprison astral barrage, protect, trick room
what if they throw a curve ball and the next regulation is 2010 format (4 restricteds per team, use 2 max per battle)
also in double restricted if you have to be max speed timid with calyrex shadow or you just lose
but thats just me
Could still run bulkier and just pair with booster flutter with icy wind, or booster moon with tailwind
New to this app, idk why it sent a link ffs
its fine
Itās fine
you need to reach a certain level in the server before you get to send images
the more you chat the higher your level will get i think
yes
Ahhhhhh got it! Thanks šŖš¼

U got a team?
https://play.limitlesstcg.com/tournament/6546556138bc6343150748f0/player/rakeysnattle/teamlist Yes I'm very interested in building a concept around this team. Need to decide on what to adjust while being careful not to ruin it. Also decide if I want it to be weather between kyogre or groudon for example. (Sun or drizzle.)
Arcanine seems like the one to replace for G ruleset.
@unkempt chasm team says rain
Ogerpon, Shifu and Lando(Sandsear) profit off rain
Ok its darkshifu but
Fufu
Honestly I feel like the team says 'variety' options. Like I can run it as either a sun team or a drizzle.
because I can mask out ogerpon too
The rock
why rockpon though, despite it being my favorite ogerpon mask, coverage?
Variety and ability
Oh uh
The problem with this
Is that is a team from 2 years ago lol
That's ok, I'm new to vgc anyway
Search for reg G
Seeeeyuh
There's a lot of teams around cores of Landorus
Landorus Ogerpon Shifu won two regionals almost back to back
Because of the motorcycle
At least im trying
at this point you just give up tbh
Ok I have Lando I and ogerpon set up, no clue what else to use now. Calyrex shadow work at all?
kyogre for accurate sandsears
Team could be called wet ground. Eh what does kyogre have to do with sandsear storm?
sandsear improves to 100% accuracy in rain
rain makes them ignore accuracy checks
Oooh genie moves are improved in rain too
except Enamorus for some reason
I only know kyogre from singles, doubles is foreign to me. Should it still be a choice scarf user?
well, it's always a good time to get acquainted with vgc
nah you don't want to be locked into one move, i think calm mind tera grass is its best set
and your prefered playstyle
And more when its your restricted and not just another piece of the team
I run scarf because "I click buttons"
The team has to be mainly built around the restricted because its the most valuable piece to destroy
AV is always nice for CSR
I could go og zapdos that use to be huge coverage check for kyogre
specifically bulky roost.
zapdos is not good
Raging Bolt
stall is not good in vgc
unless your name is dondozo or ting lu
scream tail is so damn bulky
Stall is good for this format
*Wolfey
Just some type of stall
well what are the odds that you run into Wolfey
Escalante got top 4 at fortaleza with wolfey's team
And in his words he lost to crit struggle that match
it's like that joke of "your chances of getting killed by a cow are low, but never 0"
P much
Im a hater
That's three. Lando I/Kyogre/ Ogerpon stone(for now) Arceus fairy is suppose to be a fantastic core with kyogre?
cant use arceus doi
Any recomendations for fairy coverage? Flutter mane only?
mythicals are banned
flutter can be good, it benefits from opponent's sun
mm need a shiny one! Thinking the last three could be flutter mane, raging bolt, and idk
I don't see how Kyogre is supposed to get the calm mind here
follow me ogerpon is one way
you probably need fake out support if you're playing setup ogre
^
Or screens
incin or rilla or both
specifically I was thinking fake out iron hands. Maybe that over raging bolt
incin is just better at everything, I kind of hate it for that reason.
Absolutely not
nothing wrong with using the best tools available if you wanna win
They do different things
Ok I need a shiny flutter mane, and a kubfu
m4st3rtaz has given 1 Gen Rep to blink6138
Teams still a mess. Idk what goes or works with raging bolt xD
you're gonna wanna try everything anyway and get a feel of what works for you
No I wanna try to win
practicing will get you there
Not really, the meta changes too often for you to ever get a feel
last I played legends in vgc would of never ever been a thing
Thats just cause the ruleset changes
I hate that thing. Sadly I also dont have a fire coverage option yet except ogerpon, and incin scares people so prob should use it
Incin often doesnt run fire moves, especially on a ogre team
Just fake out, knock off, parting shot and a 4th move
I also meant that it's not specifically incin. I mean that whatever the regulation, Fake Out + setup is always present
Yeah my first doubles exp is getting slapped down with that a long time ago
fake out combos
Sadly I just don't know what will work here for the other three, it does not really makes sense kyogre and the rest look like a mess
Wombo combo
send a paste, and we can all patch it up
that's what this community is for 
favourite position š
Lets see we got life orb lando, sturdypon, heavy duty boots kyogre, raging bolt no item, and incin no item
boots has no value in vgc
also, try it out in showdown first before you commit on cart
avoid wasting resources on things you might wanna change
idk what showdown is
it's a battle simulator
is it that very old simulator you could play around with back in the day? I might of had it a long time ago if so
Pokemon Showdown
Oh it says beta, so its like a newer version of the one I use to use
it's always beta
they'll never release an official one
try building your team there first
na I want to go straight into SV battling
ty tho
Of course sadly I see now my Incin does not know any of the vgc moves, no fake out, no knock off. Doesnt learn them either. Idiot cat
knock off is learned via TM. Fake Out is an egg move, I think
That REALLY sucks that its an egg move
You all know home ruins learned moves like egg moves right?
Stupid system deleted all the roosts on my shiny corvinights
you can teach it using Mirror Herb
which no one adds to mention is an annoying whopping confusing pain
In Picnics, if a PokƩmon is holding this item and has a spare moves slot, and is in the Picnic with a PokƩmon that knows one of the PokƩmon's Egg Moves, it will learn that Egg Move even if the other PokƩmon is not part of its Egg Group
Kinda have to use iron hands thats the only thing I have with fake out.
NOOOO SMELLY HONSE
(I built off Dawei shit earlier for a double restricted idea, don't judge me)
you can pass Fake Out to Incin by opening a move slot, letting it hold the Mirror Herb, and then picnic with a mon that has Fake Out
Yeah I rather my soul not be crushed more then it already is. I need a shiny incin with fake out.
I'll just have to make due with follow me on ogerpon if I can even get it, and using that as a suicide for cm kyogre. =/
@chrome knot did you see my last DM
Watch a replay of a PokƩmon battle between FakerFan and ChorizoGrande! Format: [Gen 9] VGC 2025 Reg G; Date: Mar 15, 2025
mmmmm this team
I won but it was weird
what happens if a protosynthesis pokemon has two stats tied? which one gets the proto boost?
can i trust the google ai this time
Ig itās gonna prioritize offense
No problem
Whats a good restricted for a trick room + tailwind team
Calyrex apparently
Ice?
I'm thinking of using Suicune as a tailwinder
Inner focus and decent into all the relevant mons
This is a very loose mock-up but: https://pokepast.es/f1f4b8a012f8d52e
Don't even think these are quite the right mons, but I like the feel
suicune is going to have a bit of hard time with setting those up since no prankster and isnt fast enough compared to other TW user (like booster RM or jug)
No, but it allows it to work in TR too
And it's bulky enough to work as a pivot
I can use it to midgame pivot between Twind and TR
I'm trying to think of what to build from that idea though. I want a Twind + TR team, but not sure what will slot well into the meta
BM ursaluna used to be good in tailroom
but idk for now, since uhhhh back then max speed tailwind BM kinda outspeeds a lot of stuff but now with restricted
kinda hard ig
True, you think it still sits at a good speed bracket?
New thought: https://pokepast.es/fd7dac583d33fc5d
honestly
Ground/Normal
Mind's Eye
113/70/120/135/65/52

Ursaluna
holy shit thats ass
Psychic/Ice
As One (Glastrier)
100/165/150/85/130/50
680
Calyrex
i meannnnnnnnnn
if CIR can do it, BM should work 
jokes aside
idk
it should work,but its like is it worth tho
since like ur still a slow tailwind suicune
I'm kinda liking Hisuian Lilligant + Drago and Torkoal instead of Twind
so theyre gonna be able to hit still before TW up
Maybe pivoting Suicune to something else
Imstead of Twind Troom maybe Lilligant after you + Troom
jumpluff is also quite similar to lilligant, but its TW and not after you
aftwr you can still get redirected which is a problem
Lilligang threatens Incin though
Which is huge
yeah but also prio goes through after you and all, so you will waste tera on that
Covert
I don't think it needs to be with good positioning
Might put protect instead of petal blizzard or triple axel tho
How so?
since u want to cc
-1 and ur pretty much dead to most stuff
Thats why I had Axe
oh which move is that again
oh is that the one if u miss u got hit by dmg?
Yeah

Figured its be a good fit here which is rare
uhh hm
But it avoids that -1
what makes drago bad btwe
Its a matter of not betting entire games on it 
yeah no idea yet, for some reason i thought of like groudon
he feels kinda crazy
Nothing lowkey
like statswise
fairy walls it completely
Just a weird speed tier
and that yeah, awkward speed
Yeah it needs support
well other than that ofc
im assuming youd run it with like a good steel type or something
I have it on my new team, been loving it
its hp stat is fucking crazy
Dragon
Dragon's Maw
200/100/50/100/50/80
580
no its a different case completely
its ability pushes dragon moves
so ur doing dmg from dragon
STAB + ability
so, no dragon move = mediocre dmg
well yeah ofc
This was my old team: https://pokepast.es/47d30780b0b0b0f1 I like it but I feel like it slots poorly into the metal rn
but you right its speed tier is so weird
too slow for tailwind too fast for trick room
So I'm taking a look at a team to use for this new meta
Its been pretty reliable with after you lilligant to break its speed tier
and then prankster TW
and then follow me
Grass/Fighting
Chlorophyll, Hustle, Leaf Guard (Hidden)

yea chloophill
it used to be like so good
till people knew how to play around it
Kek
That's why I'm messing around with how fast it needs to be, I was playing around with scarf to outspeed even Twinders
Kek
i feel like regidrago could be paired with a trick room imprision thing and be given 0 speed investment
I just can't decide my restricted
I love Terapagos but I don't think it's the right play
one of these
prolly one of the carylexes
id say ice
or you can be really cool and go necrozma dusk lmao
or zacian
honestly you can try groudon
i actually kidna wanna try necrozma dusk trick room imprision with drago
oh man could you imagine
what do you run on drago @fluid fiber ?
wait nvm i found it
what do you think of my speedrun cook as a regidrago conosuir @fluid fiber
ignore the evs thats like pretty much random lmao
Checks out, Drago pretty much has to run those four moves unless you have a tera blast
yeah all of its things fucking suck
Ive thought of doing tera ground or stellar for boosted EP
yea imprision and trick room together really help with the weird speed tier
Was thinking that as well
Hmm, what about life orb
wtf was this tur
Thoughts on the last two slots? Also Ice rider or Groudon
ehhh maybe
ice rider is definitevly better lol
Was thinking that to OHKO the flutter manes
yea i get the idea its a good idea
But it'd lower dragon energy's power
and he could probably still be tanky
i mean i dont think it lowers it
Though usually you only need one-two
Losing HP does
I don't think it'd be too crazy though
okay so eternatus DEFINITEVLY needs protect
just because of its typing and that im using fake out
Used to run Eternatus, Lilligant Torkoal, Drago, and Incin
Id do bomb to avoid playing around hitting yourself
the whole syneregy with tinkaton and eternatus thooo
also bronzong
hitting myself isnt reallyt a problem
damage wise tho
And better single target damage, and avoids wide guard
true hm
ill try sludge wave for now but i feel like its too bad ill change out tinkaton and stuff
Rip
U need a way to hit steel types
Zamazenta walling ahh team
Hey Tofu

U a hater recently
Hey everyone, I am new here and not sure I am in the right spot
I have a question - I am trying to join a competitive pokemon tournament and have ran into an issue
Ok
I need a Kyogre that has 0 speed IV's and I do not have the ability to get one. I have already used the Kyogre from my game in another team and it has perfect speed IV's and I am not sure how to go about getting one
F
Check Trading channels maybe...
you could start a new save file
or if you own an older game like SWSH, you can hunt there
But u probably have to either do DAs in SH/SW or start a new file
damn, I will check in the trading channel and hope for the best! Thank you
i saw that tournament
Still messing around with that team from yesterday, i think it has the potential to turn into something interesting, it just needs to be ironed out
using this tmr for a tourny, think ive been cooking pretty good. anyone have any imput on it
double restricted?
yes
i mean
We aren't in double restricted rn are we?
no but the tourn is
and prob next ruleset will be double
I feel like your team might have a hard time choosing a mode
Miraidon is gonna struggle in any game you want TR, and IC is gonna struggle in games you don't want TR
petal blizzard?
i forget
does that move hit both enemies
No additional effect.
Grass
Physical

Copied by Mirror Move.
Does not make contact.
Triggers Wind Power and Wind Rider.
And ally
mirs evs are bulkier to utilize tr when needed, the mid speed tier is why grim in on the team to be able to beef up both mir and cal ice to take hits better both in and out of tr
oh š
baton pass farig to pass def boost as well
grass type surf
Grass type surf
Yeah lol
Its kinda nice highkey
I MIGHT swap it for OHKO'ing Urshifu tho
100% should
Aside from Meowscarada I'm pretty happy with the team, haven't tested Meowscarada yet
Just changed to leaf blade too
Might end up swapping Drago to something else. But it's working well
Dont like the EVs for CIR
Why invest so heavy into defense with Prankster Coaching?
Also u missed 252EVs on Regidrago in the paste.
Mowscarada and Lilligant also just overlap ngl
Especially against sun + Scarf urshifu just kills the cat with Uturn.
Riolu should probably be Ghost or Dark Tera to dodge Fake Out/Taunt if you ever tera it
Its a team of all time
Team isn't fully finished, especially EVs, I usually run games and adjust EVs as necessary.
Caly Ice I've not run before, don't know the EVs I should have.
Meowscarada I've already said I'm not sure what to do with that slot, I've been pivoting it around all day, but Protean does stop as much overlap for them
Riolu should be ghost or dark very true, forgot to change the tera
Meowscarada is also faster than shifu and thus can change type to OHKO it or just resist the hit
But I always appreciate help
I think lilligant needs sleep powder
Too inconsistent
unless you're playing best of 1 ladder since the threat of sleep powder will be enough
Well that's true
heavily disagree, especially if you're gonna run triple axel in its place
Oh triple was replaced by protect lol, forgot to change the paste
But the threat of it is pretty big
Hmmm, what would be replaced?
I think double STAB moves + after you + sleep powder is the standard set
No protect?
Not scarf shifu
Which was my entire point since its the only version that runs uturn
I think standard caly is just max hp and attack. I ran less attack on hard tr for spdef invest to live edrift on terrain
Or at least have good rolls into modest 244
no real need to protect liligant if it has either sash to live a move or cloak to stop fake out
just has better options too
What about the 6th pokemon slot?
And do you think Drago is the right pick for the team? I'm on the fence about it
Dc is making fake mobile game ads now
Like really trashy stuff
Brainrot for kids
Bah
If pokemon ever does this I will lose all respect for them
Drago usually wants to iutspeed and delete with dragon energy
support puff also works-
blade puff helping hand protect
So kinda wants TW
though having sleep powder is arguably better, support puff in the sun can help you in a lot of scenarios :0
try out indeedee
i think having the terrain and support for caly-ice will be really nice
https://x.com/soulsurvgc/status/1900272031578673390?s=46 not a great move hitter jeudy
With that swap the team would move into a harder TR playstyle, should I swap out Drago to something else to balance things out a bit?
Also wouldn't Indeedee stop Riolu's coaching?
it wouldnāt
Oh it doesn't stop you from targeting your own?
Affected PokƩmon become immune to opponents' moves with increased priority (including moves boosted by Prankster, Gale Wings, or Triage).
you can still use priority on allies
yeah we know now that he hates zacian lmao
I think the team is already hard trick room
I just don't know if I wanna go with a "if TR isn't up I lose automatically"
I already said Idk the EVs yet 
If people know any good IV spreads please lmk, I usually have to run a ton of games to find mine
so hard TR or Soft TR you are thinking?
Soft TR is what I want, I don't want to go hard TR

Okay, for soft TR, what should I do
This is my core
The other EVs I'll figure out what I need, but.
Torkoal is 252 for max Damage, maybe could use a different defensive spread though
Lilligant just needs to be fast, and OHKO Urshifu, will find the exact spread needed for this
Riolu I'm not sure
Hi people
Wassup
Sons bday party today at a bouncy castle warehouse, so I'm fucking shattered. But need my pkmn fix, so thought I'd shout
idk if a team can be soft tr with torkoal
usually on a soft TR team most if not all your mons need to work without trick room
yea thereās lilikoal but tbh between redirection wide guard and other ways to stop it i dont see it being super reliable
It's a part of the team. Like you said, most of the team needs to work outside of TR. I just don't have to bring Torkoal. Riolu can proc Lilligant's speed as well
If I make the rest of the team around the Twind, then it should have two very solid modes
And then I can also use Lillikoal for matchups that allow it
I'm trying to figure out who a good Twinder would be though
i've seen tornadus + calyrex ice a little bit
Is it just alt for Tang team or new comp
riolu is 0IV AtK but 4 ATK EVs?
Iād be surprised if it wasnāt just a tang variant, Lando, Ursh, Hearth is a really good core
also why not eviolite?
guaranteed double coaching
@fluid fiber thats Tailroom though or Icywind. Not really Soft TR. You have no speed control but TR on the team no?
Most incin in lower Ranks bo1 run at 80-90 speed with the bulk sitting at 80 or below.
Even more so for higher ranks.
For Hard TR you probably want to underspeed that. For soft maybe outspeed?
unfortunatly yeah
on tornadus i would run Sunny Day, Tailwind, Air Slash, and then either Taunt or Protect if you are running a sun team
does he not have a torkaol
For sun teams whims is usually better since it doesnt get disadvantaged by the sun
yeah. True but like sun isnt his main mode tho. Its just 2 mons using it.
gotchya
TIME TO COOK GS CUP KAAAA
I just hate sunny day on Torn since it doesnt help itself at all. Strengthens fire into ur CIR and everyone else. Kinda only torkoal wants it and its mostly not chilling out with torn anyway
when is dead line?
Doing the same but reshiram
It should be available on showdown on april 1st
https://pokepast.es/2e6f93f0d200cd32
any input on this? think these are the final spreads and 6 imma lock in for tmr.
I like my ogres a lil beefier
Yes
what's the tera dark tera blast for? also I think tera stellar is better on sash urshifu with close combat
dark tera is for a better matchup into cal shadow and lunala/ indeedee psy spam teams. debated steller but i like water just bc it drops the fairy, flying weaknesses
are you playing an open teamsheet tournament?
yes
Mistake, ty for pointing out
keonespirit has given 1 Gen Rep to morrispxg456
So far it's just died anyways
I like this, it allows for weather denial for opposing sun teams if i need it
Hiyaaa
Any of these need tweaking? Especially EVs I'm sure some are off: https://pokepast.es/958d7d2bed340732
Also any suggestions for mon #6?
PokƩmon Scarlet and Violet have made strides in introducing competitive PokƩmon to a larger audience. But what if more was done? What if the gym leaders could be a player's first foray into VGC? Today, we're doing just that by giving the Paldean gym leaders Regulation G VGC teams!

<@&727593710816067594> more spam in #rental_teams
thanks š
this is admittedly pretty vague advice but I donāt really see the synergies in this team so far. I have a hard time picturing what 4 pokĆ©mon youāre bringing into the common meta matchups with the way itās built right now
SEEEEEEEEYUH
this feels like a forced tailwind mode
only cir really benefits from it + a potential sixth, and like dillon said these five donāt have a matchup into a lot of teams and i dont see how 1 pokemon can fix it
feel like you have to commit to tailroom where most mons can benefit from it (e.g tang cir tailroom, all mons but amoonguss benefit from tailwind) or go the hard tr way
Been trying Joey's Miraidon Volcarona team and feels fine
Volcarona outspeeding CSR is funny :v
Watch a replay of a PokƩmon battle between ChorizoGrande and u are unoriginal! Format: [Gen 9] VGC 2025 Reg G; Date: Mar 16, 2025
another haze forfeit
man now that necrozma has access to expanding force, and pokemon champions might be bringing back z moves which would imply a return of ultra necrozma- imagine a dual restricted format where you could run expanding force ultra necrozma along with tapu lele for psychic terrain o.o
ice spinner and rillaboom go brrr
chien pao ice spinner š„ š„ š„
incin don't care about ultra necrozma
earth power? idk
plus psychic terrain gets rid of fake out
and if tapu lele has magic room you can ignore safety goggles and switch into your own incin and debuf? i'm really pretty new to competitive but i feel like this has a lot of potential, could be wrong tho
Yeah like Ultra Necrozma is a stat beast but new additions power crept even that
Calyrex Nukes it cuz Ultra Necrozma is not that tanky
Godspeed ghost horse
fair
i guess it might depend on how meta relevant calyrex shadow will be, and odds are, very
or TR Ice Honse
ok genuine question, does choice scarf tapu lele have any chance of outspeeding calyrex shadow?
And do what?
Psychic/Fairy
Psychic Surge, Telepathy (Hidden)
70/85/75/130/115/95
570
idk something hopefully š
Fighting/Dark
Unseen Fist
100/130/100/63/60/97
550
Urshifu-Rapid-Strike
SPA groudon baby
It outspeeds with scarf surr
scarf chi yu will always be better
But needs Timid
would a choice scarf tapu lele shadow ball kill calyrex?
CIR TR Glacial Lance
Gg shake my hand
@latent ember yeah its quad effective
T8ng is u die first
how so?
Or fire into a tera
surely sash would be better
i guess i'm worried how the split between generational gimmicks will work
116+ Atk Calyrex-Ice Glacial Lance vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Necrozma-Ultra: 138-164 (67.6 - 80.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
GG shake my hands
I think its gonna be different modes
maybe you just choose one and go into ranked? but then everyone would just choose gigantamax lmao
there'll be different formats
but like, the selling point of the trailer was a mega pokemon and a tera pokemon in the same match
D9nt think so. As long as the official format has a set gimmick that will be played
252 SpA Choice Specs Hadron Engine Miraidon Electro Drift vs. 252 HP / 252 SpD Necrozma-Ultra in Electric Terrain: 92-108 (45 - 52.9%) -- 30.9% chance to 2HKO
It's Still 2HKO LMAO
Yeah. But I also expect a normal official mode without all gimmicks jo8ned in one mode. Idk feels way to chaotic
if only regieleki could learn snarl
well idk it does not feel like a mon will learn that
even though ultra necrozma resists elec??? š
its Miraidon
Ya know
The mon that fucks with the logic of Buffing stats
my goat doesnt need snarl š£ļøš„ im coping so hard that would be sick
thatās miraidon for you
is it just me or does it feel like we might be getting a regulation during gen 10/with champions that will allow mythicals
it sucks that eleki and drago don't have much in the way of coverage
especially considering how much more available it feels like gamefreak is starting to make them
local tmrw gangs all here ^-^
gl with local
ty
feel like eleki wouldāve been fine without the nerf to the ability
good luck!!
yep i am not questioning it
oh wait but wouldn't tapu lele's choice scarf moonblast outspeed and oneshot miraidon?
gl on the Locals Emma
252 SpA Tapu Lele Moonblast vs. 100 HP / 4 SpD Miraidon: 144-170 (76.5 - 90.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
PFFT
ARUBEGA'S SET TANKS IT
why lele?
i think its Arubega's idk
coping about U Necrozma
that still does not help the Lele allegations
i could see scarf lele going modest tbh
tapu koko and miraidon oh no
Isnt lele like not in gen 9
yea
yeah but someone is coping about it
this is a hypothetical for champions i think
waow tapus are
252 SpA Tapu Lele Moonblast vs. 100 HP / 4 SpD Miraidon: 144-170 (76.5 - 90.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
also tapu lele outspeeds
i miss tapu fini
cosmetic mons for offence š
yes
so Miraidon gets Terrain adv
Miraidon runs between 187 to 205 speed in level 50
wait maybe?
Tapu Lele+Scarf outspeeds it
does choice scarf work that way? like it affects the actual total speed stat as soon as the match starts?
i bet dondozo will still be relevant by the time champions rolls around
yes thats why Scarf Kyorge isn't that common unless you have HO TornOgre
btw what do you guys think of this as a concept
will the terrain loss even matter that much though?
no.
still gets the kill, no?
like ignore the evs and items
remains Fake Out privliges
remains Prankster moves privliges
mmmm i see
lele would not like a heavy slam from iron hands
so miraidon's partner could ruin it for necrozma
tera steel tera blast drago one shots flutter :3
+If Hands can tank a +2 Astral Barrage then yea
its csr not base calyrex I promise
Iron Crown,Zamazenta,Iron Hands:
why has bulbepedia forsaken me
yea ik
btw Emma,CIR in GC?
i'm doing it in next GC
cir is too honest but its still rly good
lots of people play kyogre and cir just STRUGGLES into kyogre
ok CIR and Honest in the same sentence feels illegal lmao
doesn't some CIR still run Tera Water?
ok but what are u doing back š
idfk thats what i am trying to solve-
Gang
ā¦
force it into tera grass with bolt?
p2 ursa?
grass knot?
don't some caly-is run seed bomb
Nova,you saw my GC team.
what!!
This team got 4th at worlds 2022 and I think a similar concept could actually be really strong https://pokepast.es/421b770cb659e094
obv CA CIR, maybe Regieleki could go out for something different like raging bolt but Regieleki already works with CIR
Paul Chua moment
yeah-
exactly
honestly love regieleki for the kyogre matchup with cir
one thing
super strong pin
Bolt is better
2.i don't have Eleki
yea itās def better in most teams
oh nvm i guess miraidon hjust one shots bulky eternatus with volt switch
such an insane mon its crazy
Be afraid
actually i misplayed because i assumed he was going like timid but nah
Anyone have any ideas for mon #6? https://pokepast.es/0a839e6cd4e71928
he was going slow miraidon so it outspeeded eternatus in tr

Copied by Mirror Move.
Does not make contact.
huh?
Dark Shifu
Nah Probably something like Raging Bolt would be fun
Fighting type quick attack to break sashes
What Raging Bolt Set?
Assault Vest or Booster Energy
Thunderclap, Thunderbolt, Draco Meteor, Protect?
for booster yea
Which is mostly used for hard TR because the opponent has to prep for both modes
But I don't see like what they do outside of that lead
And Riolu is a pick
Twind supports IC sweeps, Riolu lets IC sweep through physical leads easily, Torkoal Lilligant beats team that have a poor matchup,
the only reason i want you to use Bolt cuz your Kyogre MU is ABYSSMAL
For coaching mons there are better options
Like yeah funny prankster coaching but its still a coaching bot
Valiant,Urshifu Scarf sets
valiant seems like a great option here ngl
Scarf annihilape
wide guard will prob help patch some matchups
ok scarf Ape is a good one
It resets sun, it boosts Caly, it has priority to break sashes
i think i perfected the Ape Build before
Final gambit + coaching + anti inci option and you can go for a more hard TR version
Ok resets sun and then what
I don't want a hard TR team 
Lilligant + Riolu sounds super mid pair and torkoal is way too slow
doesnāt really do much in the current meta
doesnt it do the same like
prankster tr
Thundurus incarnate is good imo
@craggy dagger wanna see a fun spread
it does not learn tw
iād suggest to just move away from lilikoal if you dont want hard tr
Well it was good it got top 4 at Bologna special event
For rn's meta idk
But priority eerie impulse is super strong imo
and instead use other mons that can benefit from the tailwind mode
i did try Thundy T cuz its fun but short lived
urshifu, landorus, ogerpon, bolt, etc
I just want to playtest my theory of a team lol, I just need a 6th mon and I'm trying to figure out who would best benefit from TR Twind
I'll go back to the drawing board if it doesn't work, but I want to try it
With just the five I went from 1000 to 1300 almost instantly, so I wanna see if I can hit 1500
try bolt ig
Then I'll try Bo3
