whats the team
cyan smelt
it's shit
tiny karmaBOT
cyan smelt
ugh this team is so bad why can't i build a good one for once
lofty tartan
I think the trouble is trying to do Gravity gimmicks in what is going to be a pretty high-powered format.
Steer away from the gimmicks.
Like you're using a whole mon to increase the accuracy of an 85% accurate move - it ain't worth the trouble.
cyan smelt
idk what to add then
lofty tartan
Test stuff and feel it out - it's literally day -30 of a new format.
This happens every time - people always freak out about things a whole month ahead of time.
forest arrow
Yeah you have a whole month before the format even starts you’re fine to just be testing stuff
lofty tartan
Like half the people on SD ladder are doing the equivalent of smashing a few GI Joes together and calling it a battle.
forest arrow
Quite literally lmao
lofty tartan
The low hanging fruit of team comps
Which is totally fine. It's really early, not everyone on SD is looking to play in any competitive events and just like the nature of things on SD so they're throwing spaghetti at walls
lofty tartan
Don't stress so early, just have fun and note if something works or if something is trash - file it away and keep going
At the end of the day, teambuilding is hard, so just take strong cores/duos and smash 'em together. 🤷

raindish ludi doesnt seem like itll do anything, but going swift swim makes it too fast
actually the whole team is kinda fast except for amoonguss and CIR
astral kelp
how do i deal with this
lofty tartan
Man from a team preview perspective, you look super soft to TR right out the gates.
Short answer: not a lot
lofty tartan
So that the Indeedee can Tera Fairy/Follow Me 
It's pretty grim.
Is that Kyurem Black?
astral kelp
no
real prairie
game 1 went okay... but fuck me how do i turn off these sprites
astral kelp
It's pretty grim.
yeahhh
real prairie
astral kelp
just say do /afd disable
so my idea was to bring urshifu for taunt and kyurem because fusion flare one shots calyrex
lofty tartan
If they don't Tera and allow you to just blast at him, yeah. But Taunt is like an answer to TR sometimes - depends on how they're running it and what they're doing.
real prairie
just say do /afd disable
in a match?
lofty tartan
It's not as much of a catch all when you start factoring Follow Mes and stuff
astral kelp
in a match?
yea in chat should fix it
real prairie
thanks
lofty tartan
Too easy to just FM/TR shake my hand
astral kelp
If they don't Tera and allow you to just blast at him, yeah. But Taunt is like ...
it works really well in cts since they dont expect kyurem white to one shot him
lofty tartan
If people don't expect the thing with like 175 sp attack going tera fire to use on if the only good signatures available to it, then that's just poor awareness.
astral kelp
If they don't Tera and allow you to just blast at him, yeah. But Taunt is like ...
problem is urshifu outspeeds kyurem and urshifu cant one shot indeedee
lofty tartan
Can't bank on that too much.
Source: a Kyurem-White player.
astral kelp
yeah true
lofty tartan
After MDB rocked Calyrex Ice recently a lot of people shifted to Tera Fire anyway
astral kelp
either way tera fire fusion flare does so much fucking damage
lofty tartan
Oh yeah for sure. Just anyone who knows anything will play considering that.
lofty tartan
A long long time ago, in a galaxy far away, I did say that if we got Double Restricted I'd try to make Kyurem-White work again. Just not strong enough on his own

I love Sandy Shocks just as much as the next guy but I think committing a whole slot to a gimmick strat to solely increase the accuracy of P Blades is just not the play.

I started competitive pokes with SV and I'm looking forward to it, but I'm used to other competitive games where this whole high-powered centralized meta concept exists. So it's just Tuesday for me.
Everything has strengths and weaknesses, everyone is playing the same game and has to deal with the same rules/variance, so it's fine. lol
Frankly I'm more excited about Gen 10 and Megas possibly making their way back to competitive, so this is like nothing

thats the whole point of lefties but whateve
solid frigate
damn man kyurem black is pitiful it can't even ko a kyogre
Its just that Depressing as a restricted
the reason why Kyurem black is good in singles cuz they dropped him to OU+No intimidate most of the time
cyan smelt
at least he's not as bad as mewtwo
solid frigate
at least he's not as bad as mewtwo
Mewtwo is technically better than Kblack in singles
and the Movepool isn’t as shitty as Kyurem Black
Like I’d argue you can make Mewtwo work better than Kyurem black by just slapping mewtwo with CSR Teams
cyan smelt
kyurem black needs a dragon dance to even do any damage
and you're forced to run loaded dice

And flare blitz or cc in the sun with life orb just murders zam so they have to Tera or die

It kills fairy types
And got wide guard
But other than that idk man

zacian lowkey seems better, it's faster and can kill stuff

And it dosent get destroyed by lunala koraidon

I want to run something that's not protect

lunala is the better wide guard mon

3 of his good moves are fucking physical iron type moves

Maybe if I just run iron defence instead of protect?

Nah like

- Now that I've confirmed the formula that we thought is gonna dominate is low-key kinda dogwater, I kinda wanna try and figure out to see what actually is right
Cuz I think Mirai CIR is probably the best combo actually

that doesn’t make smeargle any less annoying
iirc in his team report he showed that he built his team in a way that it wouldnt suffer against smeargle
his mega gengar would shut it down either with taunt or sludge bomb depending on the smeargle set, he had fake out support and safeguard
