[chrome knot]

run flame orb bruh

[spiral ridge]

BM ursa is usually LO or AV

[south shuttle]

blood moon

[chrome knot]

oh (!)

specify dat lmfao

[spiral ridge]

I prayed it was BM and assumed cx

[tiny karma]

Item: Silk Scarf

Holder's Normal-type attacks have 1.2x power.

Sableye version 4.28.2

[south shuttle]

im not wasting guts like that 😭

[astral kelp]

wisp your own ursaluna

[spiral ridge]

Like old swagger metagross

[south shuttle]

new meta???

[spiral ridge]

If you are wasting a turn to set up burn that isn’t protect your ursa will be dead in the water

[south shuttle]

it'll be scarfed

with tailwind

[spiral ridge]

Scarf wisp incin
Are you ok?

Oh silk scarf that’s right

[astral kelp]

one trillion iq

[south shuttle]

im confused on the pokemon wwere talking about now

[spiral ridge]

Well if it’s normal ursa then you’d rather be in TR and out speed there

[spiral ridge]

If normal ursa. Flame orb
If BM, AV or LO is lot better

[tiny karma]

Item: Life Orb

Holder's attacks do 1.3x damage, and it loses 1/10 its max HP after the attack.

Sableye version 4.28.2

[south shuttle]

i was talking about blood moon, you shifted to hisui ursa

[spiral ridge]

Higher multiplier and also helps your ground move

[south shuttle]

the choice scarf recommendation was satire

[spiral ridge]

Cus we started talking about burning so I went to normal ursa

[spiral ridge]

I know I’m just saying it straight to clear confusion

[south shuttle]

my moveset is blood moon, hv, earth power, and protect

[astral kelp]

its weird how like ursabm and ursa feel like such different mons

[spiral ridge]

Then yes life orb

[south shuttle]

life orb does 1.3x for 1/10th of ur hp though

silk does 1.2x for nothing

[spiral ridge]

Yeah it’s a bloody nuke

[astral kelp]

you like

do not care about 1/10 hp

[south shuttle]

the extra health helped me some times

[spiral ridge]

You wanna boost your earth power for zama, incin, and anything weak to ground

[south shuttle]

but sure ill try life orb

[spiral ridge]

It’s worth it the EP damage go crazy

Look at Lando that bitch be popping people

[astral kelp]

hv?

oh hyper voice

[spiral ridge]

Ground is good coverage

Fire steel electric is very good to hit

[astral kelp]

i was running vaccum wave for a while

its definitevly a best of one move tho lol

[south shuttle]

Surprisingly havent seen much lando

idk if im too loww on the ladder though

[spiral ridge]

It’s still around

[south shuttle]

on ursa blood?

[astral kelp]

ye

no one expects a priority move from ursa

[spiral ridge]

It was used for a while yeah

[south shuttle]

to replace what?

[spiral ridge]

On AV sets

I don’t think it was on Lorb sets

[south shuttle]

i mean the only use i can see for vacuum wave is chien pao

[astral kelp]

oh thats not bad

[spiral ridge]

Prio is just useful tool, take out low health enemies

But yeah chien would hate it

[astral kelp]

specially on a slow mon like ursa

[spiral ridge]

@foggy lodge there’s moonblast 😭

It was you talking of moon ursa iirc

[south shuttle]

you'd have to double into that slot though, most chien i've seen run focus sash

[astral kelp]

when no trick room and youre gonna die vacuum wave lets you do that last hit before dying

[spiral ridge]

True. But it’s still good

[astral kelp]

yeah you can break sash pretty easily

[spiral ridge]

Gets you outta speed tiers for at least last hurrah

[astral kelp]

^ yea it feels lowkey amazing

losing blood moon hyper voice or earth power sucks thio

[south shuttle]

main loss is protect

[spiral ridge]

You run it on LO?

[astral kelp]

lol yeah i did when i made that team

[spiral ridge]

Oh I thought it was only AV

[astral kelp]

probably i just kinda winged the ursa set

ayo no protect wtf was i cooking

this looks so ass

[south shuttle]

peak

[astral kelp]

holy shit how does ursa bm have 65 spd

[south shuttle]

bc it already has a monster HP stat

[astral kelp]

i wouldnt call 113 monster

[bold geode]

Yeah
Her and Nova just damn

[south shuttle]

with 120 defense it is

[astral kelp]

Ya that's why I was commenting on the spd cuz it's like lower than I thought it was

It's just very all in defence

[south shuttle]

run hisui ursa if it's an issue

bulky all around

[astral kelp]

Yeah normal ursa is a fucking demon

[solid frigate]

Protect over Vac

[astral kelp]

Yeah for sure that's a shit ass set ignore it lmao

Only reason I was running bm over normal is because of weezing

Which was pretty cool since if I needed to hit a ghost type all I had to do was switch weezer out

Ooh wait maybe I'll slap ursa bm on the current team I'm working on

[misty helm]

Why not run toxic on weezing over poison gas

[mighty stump]

Turn efficiency would be terrible to use Toxic

[misty helm]

Oh yeah poison gas hits both opponents

Why do you need neutralizing gas when all of your Pokémon have good abilities though

Especially when you already have 2 Pokémon weak to ground

Alright is relic ready for bss

Also I have a good question if incinaroar is running around so much why not use something like empoleon or galarian zapdos that can easily silence the thing

[next stump]

Empoleon explodes to Miraidon, same with Galarian Zapdos

I do think Ogerpon-Teal could actually be a decent meta pick but then you run into stuff like CIR that’s everywhere and love facing it

[chrome knot]

dillon

are u portland goer?

[lost sun]

thoughts

lunala has tr instead of psychic now

[misty helm]

Is max attack and hp good for zamazenta

With
behemoth bash
crunch
Iron defense and
body press

[south shuttle]

why would you run trick room with such fast pokemon

[lost sun]

incase the oponent has tr

[near crag]

I'm hard stuck on a four pokemon core of zacian, kyogre, roaring moon, and amoonguss, any ideas on other possible additions? Feel like ursh or hands are great, but it seems for there to be better options

[molten oasis]

landorous

i lke cornerstone a lot, incin

[near crag]

Do I not already deal well enough with mirai? Also scared of that ice weakness

[molten oasis]

i havent had much of an issue with it

if you are scared of that stay on shifu

and mirai incin sucks for zac

it does not suck for lando

lando also gives you another strong special attacker, i also just think lando is the goat

fairy and ground coverage is hella strong

[near crag]

Okay, so now we need one more. Maybe hands? Or you think smth else is the call here

[molten oasis]

if you go lando, you go incin

unless you're confident hands is enough to help with CIR

either or is fine tho

[near crag]

I think hands could be a bit better rn, cuz we can't deal too much damage to water types, plus that anti synergy from a fire type in rain isn't there. Although intimidate and parting shot is stupid good

[solid frigate]

both Bikes btw

[molten oasis]

you run the fire for the ice resist

you dont run flare blitz either you go wisp

and i personally like going thunder kyogre

but my team is also cornerstone over amoonguss

if you want that tho go hands

[misty helm]

How good is Koraidon with heat crash

[chrome knot]

not

[solid frigate]

yeah

DON'T

[exotic grotto]

Is Koraidon not heavy?

[misty helm]

Apparently not

I just looked it up

[exotic grotto]

Thank you!

[gentle crag]

fyomin has given 1 Gen Rep to dracorex232

[misty helm]

He’s 300 kg roughly

Which isn’t anything light but it’s not heavy enough to justify heat crash

Considering most of the competition runs Pokémon that are over 400 kg

[spiral ridge]

Reg Fat

[polar canyon]

Calyrex ice ruins heat crash

How fat is that horse

How is the horse heavier than a giant triceratops sabertooth thing

I want to hit caly ice with heat crash gouging fire

[dense latch]

horses weigh a lot

[solid frigate]

252 Atk Life Orb Koraidon Heat Crash (40 BP) vs. 212 HP / 4 Def Calyrex-Ice in Rain: 21-26 (10.3 - 12.8%) -- possible 8HKO
how the ffuck you made Koraidon's Caly Ice MU even worse-

[dense latch]

and it’s a big ass horse

[polar canyon]

Ok fair actually

[solid frigate]

252 Atk Life Orb Orichalcum Pulse Tera Fire Koraidon Heat Crash (40 BP) vs. 212 HP / 4 Def Calyrex-Ice in Sun: 133-156 (65.8 - 77.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

Oh ok thats not too bad but like

why make the MU worse

252 Atk Life Orb Orichalcum Pulse Koraidon Heat Crash (40 BP) vs. +1 100 HP / 236+ Def Zamazenta-Crowned in Sun: 52-62 (28.8 - 34.4%) -- 3.3% chance to 3HKO

[south shuttle]

heat crash?????????

[solid frigate]

@misty helm ask him

i was deilvery man for the calcs

[south shuttle]

also uh

yeah that bruxish team flopped 😭

@misty helm why heat crash when you can just run temper flare or flare blitz

[polar canyon]

Been trying to get back into competitive just to get bored of team building 15 minutes in

Because I don't like building with most of what's viable rn

Someone give team pls

What y'all think of this CSR Miraidon team? https://pokepast.es/53d6f1fe103444af

This time I went a little more standard, but still think it has some unique things about it

[foggy lodge]

What is tera ghost hands for?

[misty helm]

https://pokepast.es/ba0ed612d2848749 in a vacuum do my sets seem likely to always fail

[craggy dagger]

for singles, maybe not
for doubles
looks mostly like it

agility goltres

[chrome knot]

[misty helm]

So you think these tactics could work in singles

[molten oasis]

Ah back to our regularly scheduled programming

https://tenor.com/view/wolfeyvgc-pokémon-incineroar-intimidate-inner-focus-gif-13185874601041277971

[near crag]

Mainly for fake out blocking, but also creates some intresting mind games against facade and zam

[solid frigate]

doesn't Hands always Outlasts Zama tho

[chrome knot]

ok but imagine forcing heavy slams

and ursaluna has to headlong for neutral and u low kick for ko

🤩

[molten oasis]

Bug hands is goated

Oh ig ghost lets you sit infront of Ursa, don’t have to take facade

[near crag]

But about this team though, any thoughts? https://pokepast.es/53d6f1fe103444af

[ashen briar]

Idk if anyone’s doing this yet, but I really like the idea of Tera ghost Tera blast zamazenta

[solid frigate]

why.

[ashen briar]

Calirex and lunala

[solid frigate]

you have your own Calyrex tho

[ashen briar]

Nah

[solid frigate]

Double res hello?

[ashen briar]

I no no wanna

[solid frigate]

https://tenor.com/view/honkai-star-rail-dan-heng-gif-10008267026330058903

[chrome knot]

why

[ashen briar]

If I’m running zam I’m almost always running a rain team or a Miraidon pair, cause I’m not a huge fan of the usual pairs

[solid frigate]

i'm running Rain i have close to no issue to CSR tho lmao

i rather think of how can i beat Koraidon more than beat CSR cuz i multiple way

and Zama Ghost blast is not the way

[ashen briar]

Tera ghost is a solid counter to koraidon tho

[near crag]

might aswell tera fairy in Bo1, for korai

[ashen briar]

Cause they typically run like either a choice item, or life orb, close combat protect

[solid frigate]

no its not-

Its not better-

[chrome knot]

tera fire flare blitz

5 big booms for zamazenta

[ashen briar]

Why not Tera fire Tera blast?

[near crag]

https://tenor.com/view/big-aj-big-justice-boom-costco-guys-gif-13543695932005238540

[near crag]

You got some better options

[solid frigate]

are you THAT obsessed with Tera blast

[ashen briar]

Nah I just use it when other coverage isn’t an option or if I don’t wanna explode from clicking a move

[near crag]

Stellar tera blast Zacian is kinda goated tho

[ashen briar]

Cause I like doing life orb koraidon if anything

[solid frigate]

that one makes sense but still no

[solid frigate]

https://tenor.com/view/hsr-dan-heng-peace-gif-3733285196809980875

[craggy dagger]

tera blast zamazenta doesn’t make sense

i’m really sorry

[solid frigate]

Nova help me-

[ashen briar]

I never said I was good, I just thought it was a fun idea🌜

[chrome knot]

tera ground blasts u

[craggy dagger]

but i’m a flying type-

[near crag]

That's Zacian stuff, and that we can approve of

[chrome knot]

oh…

cries idk

[molten oasis]

Eeeeehhhhhh

[solid frigate]

electro drift you

[craggy dagger]

flying type in gravity

[molten oasis]

I think the Tera blast Zac stuff worked better in reg g

[craggy dagger]

volt absorb goes brrrr

[molten oasis]

Right now Zac prefers sub/sd or scared sword

[craggy dagger]

ground blast is alright imo

[chrome knot]

omg emolga hiii….

[molten oasis]

Its fine but your other restricted should do enough work Zac wouldn’t neee to run it

[solid frigate]

i miss emolga

[chrome knot]

she so cute and silly

[molten oasis]

I also think the Tera ground Zac stuff sucks personally

[craggy dagger]

isn’t emolga motor drive-

[molten oasis]

Don’t love clicking Tera then becoming weak to shifu

[craggy dagger]

or was it both-

[molten oasis]

Or ice rider

[near crag]

I mean, is more of a matchup patch. If you have strong defenses and fighting coverage might aswell tera blast

[chrome knot]

motor drive but same thing….

[craggy dagger]

that’s why you got redirect

[craggy dagger]

true true

[chrome knot]

leech seeds you😱

[craggy dagger]

also i never realized but like
154 special defence??

[near crag]

Ground is kinda mid tho, cuz you need it if the team is weak against mirai, what you can't really afford to be in this format

Only use case I rly see for tera blast is with stellar, but it's niche

[molten oasis]

So you’re gonna redirect glacial lance?

[craggy dagger]

you got wide guard for that
plus doesn’t bblade usually take a huge chunk out

[molten oasis]

Zacogre doesn’t run wide guard

Most zacian teams don’t run wide guard

[craggy dagger]

me who’s testing zacnala HO

[molten oasis]

Ok you do, and that’s fine I’m more saying in a general sense

[craggy dagger]

yeah that’s fair tho

[near crag]

And with lunala, it can't afford to wide guard bot in tr

[craggy dagger]

power herb meteor beam rayquaza….

god
this thing gets no good physical dragon moves

[solid frigate]

most Rain teams don't run wide guard if its Kyogre

[near crag]

yeah

however new relic set might it slightly harder but bis so far

[solid frigate]

trust me you would complain more about Powercreep here

That game doesn’t make me mad

It’s a game about learning timings for a level

If you’re raging stop playing the game lol

But fair enough

[near crag]

What y'all think about clear amulet iron hands? My team has few protects, so that could maybe solve it

Also could drop the scarf on my lando, or smth on my amoonguss, but giving up on the assault vest seems like the better choice

[molten oasis]

You lose a lot of bulk on assault vest

[near crag]

you think I'm better off with lorb lando, or no sludge bomb amoonguss, then?

[foggy lodge]

Eh it could be ok

But I think AV has way too much value in this format

Amulet Hands was better for reg G I think

Even electric seed was used

[molten oasis]

LORB lando is awesome

I think scarf lacks damage

[near crag]

Cuz the team in question is using roaring moon, w kyogre and zacian

[molten oasis]

Yea

Ik, you don’t really need the scarf on lando imo

Idt you need scarf much at all for moon zacogre

[near crag]

And why is that?

[solid frigate]

honestly Scarf Ogre is just not worth it on ZacOgre/MiraiOgre/CSROgre

cuz you either want it to be bulky or moderately fast

also you need protect on Kyogre

cuz Rilla is a bi-

[molten oasis]

It’s balance, protect is valuable for scouting out things like miraidon

Lando and Zac force miraidon into a 50/50

[chrome knot]

RILLA IS BISEXUAL ! ?

[molten oasis]

Lmfao

[solid frigate]

Mystic Water Kyogre.

honestly i just exploit Lunala Indeedee Lead with Kyogre and Grimm lol

[molten oasis]

Also I do agree you want something to hit water types but that’s kinda why I like ogerpon

So you can afford mystic water kyogre

I never have tried wellspring but I like cornerstone

[solid frigate]

its more like

[near crag]

Well, that's the current version of that team: https://pokepast.es/6fe2873f600f6378 Don't mind the weird item on amoonguss btw

slow spore is more better-

[molten oasis]

[molten oasis]

Brother who would like anyone as a worm

I will tell my gf (when I get one) no lol

[chrome knot]

LOL

the when I get one is crazy lmfao

[spiral ridge]

Mfer does not believe in Disney true love

[molten oasis]

See I’m too handsome so no one talks to me

[near crag]

Guys, it’s just pheromone maxxing

[molten oasis]

im all serious im not looking to get into a relationship rn. I wouldn’t date myself so why should they lol. I wanna work on myself

Need a stable job and an apartment

[craggy dagger]

mood

[near crag]

That’s honestly very respectable. You need to love yourself before you love someone else. Also need to focus up on the gym, been sick lately, need to bulk back up

[molten oasis]

I should start going to the gym

But I wanna learn how to drive first

[astral kelp]

when my gf asked me that and i didnt answer with just yes she was legit sad lmao

[molten oasis]

Damn lol

[near crag]

Honestly, make the gym a therapy session. If you go there just looking forward to improving as a person, it makes it feel great

I’m still benching like 140 lbs, but even when the weights don’t grow, I know I have

[lofty tartan]

Progressive overload is my king

And I, a servant

I don't go to the gym. I do a 4 day upper/lower split.

[molten oasis]

Hm…

[lofty tartan]

Arnold presses cooked me today

[near crag]

I do need to confess I have not done leg press in a bit, and I’m still pushing 300 lbs

[molten oasis]

What would you suggest for any home workout gear?

That would be easier for me I think

[lofty tartan]

Dumbells. Olympic curl bar and weights. Pull up bar

Dumbells and a pull up bar are awesome for just starting out

A curl bar will run you like 50 to 100

[near crag]

Pull-up bar could be useless if you’re overweight, but great if you want to gain muscle mass

[astral kelp]

tera ghost specs csr one shots miraidon holy

[lofty tartan]

You can do A LOT with dumbells

[lofty tartan]

Yeah if you're overweight it's gonna be a problem. But it's a goal. Even working toward a full rep is progress

[near crag]

As of weight, would get 5kg, 10kg and 15kg pairs for you to start out

[lofty tartan]

But like dumbells and body weight exercises are an incredible starting point

Even if you can't do a full push up you can start with knee pushups

[near crag]

Also a bench (even if you use with no bar) could be of great use too

[molten oasis]

Cool

Are those expensive?

[lofty tartan]

Yes a flat bench elevates your exercises a ton

[lofty tartan]

I bought a set of 5 to 20lb cast iron dumbells for 100

When I started

[molten oasis]

That’s not too bad

[lofty tartan]

It's not bad at all.

[molten oasis]

Good investment

[lofty tartan]

Oh. A grip trainer.

[near crag]

Take a shuffle through Craig’s list (if that’s a thing where you live), and should find someone looking to throw some stuff away

[astral kelp]

@shadow wind
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2025regi-2370015000-brqoqce9j8vywkum0j7ktb8mjn9qrohpw
is this the avarage groudon game

[lofty tartan]

Work your forearms every arm day and ladies are gonna look

I add palm up and palm down wrist curls to every arm day, as well as crunches and elbow planks to every workout day.

Levitation crunches

[near crag]

Those are very useful if you’re gonna work out at home, only. Once you go to a gym, just doing stuff like back exercises should suffice

[lofty tartan]

I do grip trainers when I'm just doing other stuff. It's a downtime workout

Gyms are superior though for cable machines

[molten oasis]

[lofty tartan]

Dude no joke. Lol

[astral kelp]

arms are everything

[lofty tartan]

My wife like touches my forearms randomly now

[molten oasis]

lol that’s cool

[lofty tartan]

Don't skip leg day.

[astral kelp]

like you can be the ugliest mf in the world but if you have nice arms

[lofty tartan]

Honestly Drago the toughest thing you're gonna face is being consistent

[molten oasis]

So, grip trainer, 5-20 pounds dumbbells, pull up bar

[lofty tartan]

And a flat bench

[molten oasis]

Oh I know, it’s hard to build the habit

[lofty tartan]

It opens up stuff like incline presses

[near crag]

Also, might suck, but cardio is fantastic for you, run for an hour post workout, and the next one will feel smoother

[lofty tartan]

You get to target specific muscle groups better by changing angles

[molten oasis]

Interesting

[astral kelp]

its fucked how like if you lose consistancy for a little bit everything derails

[molten oasis]

Yea

[lofty tartan]

I jog around my park and then I do jumping jacks and free squats to high kicks

[molten oasis]

It’s rough. It’ll probably take some time to get a full routine going

And this should be easy to move around

[astral kelp]

i fucking hate cardio i have asmtha so i die within like 15 minutes

[molten oasis]

Plus it would help with my mental

[molten oasis]

It’s good for you but yea cardio sucks

[lofty tartan]

Cardio is rough at first but it builds endurance

[astral kelp]

i saw a thing recently about training your lungs over training cardio

[lofty tartan]

Then it's cake

[near crag]

And start off slow. Two weeks twice a week, and up one day every other week. I would stop at 5/6 days a week though, you need that rest day

[bold geode]

Is it a dumbbell or is it cake

[astral kelp]

why not both

[molten oasis]

The rest day will likely be my dnd day

[molten oasis]

Have you seen the weird al real or cake video?

[lofty tartan]

Can't dm you. King of incorrect pings here

[molten oasis]

Odd lol

May need friend request, that’s what tends to be the case

[serene shuttle]

[shadow wind]

Nah

Cause normal people run encore Jumpluff

[lofty tartan]

Sorry it was me and fat fingers. Apologies

[serene shuttle]

ah no worries no worries

[astral kelp]

[molten oasis]

Yea lol. Anyway how are you doing?

[craggy dagger]

[astral kelp]

and 2 sleep powders lmfao

[molten oasis]

This is why we don’t play groudon jumpluff, everything will miss

[astral kelp]

unless gravity

btw do you think i should go max speed max spa or i should do this half assed tanky build

its big speed control

and im not gonna switch it out unless it dies since itsnot sun

[molten oasis]

I lowkey think it be cool if we got a new set of terrains or some new mechanic and we get something like gravity

Consistency

[astral kelp]

i would love that

gravity on switch in

[shadow wind]

Nah when I play I always hit everything

do you want the gif

[bold geode]

There we go

[bold geode]

Gimme

[woven pelican]

you just did it anyways

[south shuttle]

what do you guys think should be ran on a physical defense amoongus?

im running the usual rocky helmet and effect spore, but for the last move do I got for protect or some recovery like synthesis

[astral kelp]

protect lol

[south shuttle]

that's what i thought too

[astral kelp]

unless you dont like protect then you can go like clear smog or even fucking foul play lol

but its def worse

[next stump]

amoonguss wants regenerator

[south shuttle]

im running a physical tank build

with rocky helmet

effect spore makes more sense no?

[next stump]

no, because you will screw yourself over with spore not working sometimes on para or poisoned targets

it’s much more consistent to run regenerator

[south shuttle]

alright

[astral kelp]

OH EFFECT SPORE

i forgot that was ability lol

[solid frigate]

hoi Dillon

[next stump]

hello 🙂

[solid frigate]

you going to portland or not?

[next stump]

nope, I’m at a sporting event for the school I teach at this weekend

[solid frigate]

ah ok

good luuck on that event anyway

[left bobcat]

GO TEACH GOOOO TEACH

[red willow]

I see effect spore amoonguss and raise you an already burned ursaluna

[gloomy gull]

Trying to find people in my area, Louisville, into VGC. Looked for local events but all are TCG would really like to have some people local to chat with and run things by and such.

[solid frigate]

i think Louisville has VGC community idk

[red willow]

Im only about 50 mins-an hour out from there but Im in the middle of nowhere lmao

[chrome knot]

id assume theres no events on event tracker rn bc most locals are done for the season, you can try checking USPA’s discord to find Kentucky VGC’s discord, or i can ask some friends who are from that area

[bold geode]

[south shuttle]

i really like rapid style urshifu right now

specifically scarf

paired with kyogre it's nice

[south shuttle]

this was the team i was running +amoongus

[bold geode]

For Kyogre teams, depending on the second restricted being used, I'd use something like Iron Hands, Landorus, Rillaboom
Something like that

[south shuttle]

ah

[chrome knot]

oh my fucking god what is that

[south shuttle]

the best team

i could think of

[bold geode]

Not the Dusk Mane

[south shuttle]

dusk was supposed to be a flutter mane counter

[chrome knot]

HUH

[bold geode]

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[south shuttle]

max spdef and prism body

[bold geode]

You're still weak to it

If you're looking for that, Zacian is right there

Helps with Flutter and bike

[south shuttle]

thought zacian was nerfed to the ground

[bold geode]

Anyways yeah um
I would do that
Also Archaludon
Nah

[bold geode]

It's doing better in a double restricted format
Though Incineroar is something to watch for but guess what
Big ass whale

[south shuttle]

ill try out zacian

right now im trying to experiment with talonflame tailwind

[bold geode]

Tornadus

[south shuttle]

prankster doesnt work on dark types, im going for gale wings

[bold geode]

Ok and how does that affect TW

[south shuttle]

dont moves get cancelled if a dark type is on the field?

[bold geode]

Only if the affected move is targeting the Dark type

Tailwind works cuz it's not targeting
But if you try to Taunt an Incineroar with Tornadus, then it gets blocked unless it's tera'd to another type

[south shuttle]

talon has more offensive utility too no?

[bold geode]

No not really
Even if it has some good moves like look at it's stats real quick

[tiny karma]

Pokémon No. 663: Talonflame

Types

Fire/Flying

Abilities

Flame Body, Gale Wings (Hidden)

HP/Atk/Def/SpA/SpD/Spe

78/81/71/74/69/126

Total

499

Sableye version 4.28.2

[bold geode]

You ain't doing much with that stat

Besides, Tornadus has more synergy with Kyogre

Hurricane and Bleakwind never miss in Rain, Flying type can hit the Grass types that Kyogre can't hit with Water, can set up Rain manually in case of switch ins, can set speed control, probably something else I'm missing

[south shuttle]

twave can work too

ok let me try it

[bold geode]

Thunder Wave? Nah
Wait it got that

[south shuttle]

nevermind

that was thunderous

[bold geode]

Also other adjustments I'd make
I'd like to see U Turn over Ice Spinner on that Urshifu and like
Honestly Tera Grass + Ice Beam on Kyogre over Icy Wind and Water tera will help the Miraidon MU some

[molten oasis]

Just use Tornadus

Tornadus doesn’t get nerfed by being in rain like talon does

[bold geode]

What about Strange

[molten oasis]

Hmm, guys Hawkeye is too strong, nerf strange

[bold geode]

Actually y'know what bro
I agree with Flats
I've seen enough, buff Luna

[molten oasis]

Buff Luna? Why?

[gloomy gull]

oh cool thanks

[gentle crag]

minersixtyniner has given 1 Gen Rep to setsumizi

[bold geode]

Because she's Rivals little baby and they'll never nerf her

[molten oasis]

ic

[bold geode]

At least directly

They did the ult cost nerfs but like they've basically done that with everyone

[solid frigate]

Dusk Mane

WITH CLOAK???

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY ARCHALUDON

[bold geode]

Portland tomorrow, let's go

[solid frigate]

monke do you have Holy water

[bold geode]

No I bathed in it all

It burned me

[chrome knot]

wat

[solid frigate]

what sins have you commited

[bold geode]

War crimes upon France

They deserved it

[heady onyx]

you could run ice beam as coverage for that specific goal

which ive seen come out a fair amount of times so far in reg I onto my shroom and my ape tbh

[bold geode]

I mean
Why not both

[heady onyx]

im pretty sure its one of the best coverage options on the whale

[bold geode]

https://tenor.com/view/the-road-to-el-dorado-both-both-is-good-gif-8304204

[heady onyx]

i wouldnt tech my team in a way to counter grass in a way that tries to fill a bad matchup

[bold geode]

Huh

[heady onyx]

id go back to the drawing board if Grass type were that much of a roadblock

[bold geode]

Tornadus Kyogre is a known combo

[heady onyx]

it being known doesnt mean people run it

[bold geode]

[heady onyx]

you can combo a lot of known things, doesnt mean they hold up to the power level of said format

i dont expect tornadus to be on every kyogre team

whereas i expect every kyogre to be on kyogre team

so ice beam coverage ends up way more consistent

[bold geode]

Well yeah
But I'm also giving suggestions and that's a good suggestion

You can still run both or not

[heady onyx]

id look into other members to pull more leverage into counters

Tornadus is deployed early for Prankster Tailwind in most games

at least in master ball, cant talk about your experience much

[bold geode]

Ok
He was using Talonflame for speed control
I said Tornadus would be better and listed reasons
So I think that like
Still fits

Huh?

[heady onyx]

so no one reacts with pivots or what ?

[bold geode]

Brother when did I bring up pivots

[heady onyx]

i am bringing them up

[molten oasis]

https://tenor.com/view/lilnouns-nouns-lil-nouns-dao-noggles-gif-27131043

[bold geode]

This is a speed control suggestion

[heady onyx]

i asked the question 🙂

[bold geode]

I mean
Some people do
Some don't
Depends on board states tbh

But I don't see how that correlates to me suggesting Tornadus over Talonflame

[heady onyx]

the board state is supposed to suggest Kyogre being threatened by a grass move

if we're following the same convo

[bold geode]

Well yeah
Guess what
Tornadus can threaten those
It can Tailwind
Can also Bleakwind
Tera is also available
There's ways here

If we wanna break down every possibility now

[heady onyx]

so you run offensive tornadus over support

interesting

maybe you got something with the therian form + regenerator

that sounds interesting

[bold geode]

No
You can still do good chip at least to stuff
Though I guess offensive ain't bad either

[bold geode]

Brother I'm not that high

[heady onyx]

oh sorry, thought you were highly ranked with the competitive helper tag

my bad

[bold geode]

No I meant high as in under the influence

But you're probably too young to know about drugs

[heady onyx]

im probably older then you

[bold geode]

Maybe

[heady onyx]

i got kids

[bold geode]

Idk

Cool

[heady onyx]

not sure suggesting drug usage in pokemon discord for all age groups is a good thing

[bold geode]

Anyways we're getting sidetracked here
Anyways Tornadus Kyogre is a duo that's been known
I was merely suggesting it
If they run it? Cool
If not? Also cool
If you read somewhere later probably you'll also see me recommend Tera Grass and Ice Beam which are both good things for Grass damage

Merely doing what I do
Advising
Suggesting
Yada yada

[heady onyx]

do you attend tournaments ?

[bold geode]

I do not
I do have multiple ways of knowing stuff though, whether it be resources, people who do attend

[heady onyx]

just asking 1 question bud

knowing you don't attend tournaments is all I need to know

[bold geode]

I was answering said question

I mean if that's all the qualifications there is, talk to Dillon
He made finals in Milwaukee
But then again
Have you attended a tournament?

[heady onyx]

I have

[bold geode]

Ok cool

Idk why we have to judge each other on ranked ladder and shit
Obviously I have a role for a reason

[heady onyx]

i dont know

normally ranked performance is a good testimony to someone's skill

you don't want a bad player with googling skills to give out advice normally

[bold geode]

Thankfully that's not me
Y'know what
What you consider on ranked performance

[heady onyx]

the ranking you get on showdown or the ladder

someone that can get very high mmr in a game tends to be a good player don't you think ?

mmr is match making rating

[bold geode]

I've hit 1600 in SD ladder before
1500 with 75+% GXE
Master Ball way too many times, hitting top 100 at one point (missed Master Ball once this gen but it was during a break so)
And trusted for advice by probably quite a few people
If you really wanna get into specifics and credentials

Idk why you wanna press people on that anyways

[heady onyx]

not people, you

im asking you, not the whole world

thought this is competitive discussion

[bold geode]

Kinda not cool anyways to come into places and start questioning people

[heady onyx]

already mika that shuts down new players with elitist attitude

[bold geode]

Nah bud

[heady onyx]

the way you brought the ''known'' pairing was a red flag to me

so im keen on asking

[bold geode]

You keep tryna start stuff and arguments with staff constantly, as I have seen before
Imma ask you once
Stop doing that

[bold geode]

[jade dust]

Unless Lunala

Ignores disguise

[molten oasis]

[chrome knot]

what

[astral kelp]

omg i just pulled up my old laptop

what was i cooking

[astral kelp]

i was lunala lol big rip to that guy

[polar nest]

so im trying to figure out perish trap in this new reg, but i cant seem to find the right restricteds, i tried zama alot, but it felt kinda off, same with koraidon, and now im not sure what to use.

[solid frigate]

Koraidon+Lunala is fine

[polar nest]

ok

ill give that a shot ik thats popular

[solid frigate]

also Perish trap is kinda dead unless wolfey does something funny with it

[polar nest]

but i wanna do something funny with it (:

if it worked in G i might be able to make it work in I

ive made 7 trap teams this reg

[solid frigate]

i just don't think it works that well especially its 2 restricteds

[polar nest]

fair

i have some other wierd stuff

[solid frigate]

https://tenor.com/view/oopsies-ohno-gif-25793283

[polar nest]

ive got these three, idk if any of them are good https://pokepast.es/9c1de12fdae2083a https://pokepast.es/5797cc369ea8bc70 https://pokepast.es/e839d71c166ce0ac

[polar nest]

ye i spent way too much time on making these and most suck ):

[solid frigate]

what the heck i saw

Honestly Kyurem black is more dissapointment than Mewtwo

[polar nest]

i think lugia snow could maybe work?

kinda like articuno

but also kinda like pagos cuz u wanna tera lugia almost every time

[solid frigate]

for your sanity Sake DOn't

The reason why Articuno Snow works cuz

Decent Bulk+Actually good offenses

[polar nest]

ah okok

[solid frigate]

Lugia has SpA of 90 and Dies to Calyrex and Miraidon

[polar nest]

true

when i tera barrage does only a quarter but thats still alot in snow

[solid frigate]

also yes A lot of sets have to change if you are persistent on using this

[polar nest]

ye

im not the best with sets

i like to come up with concepts for team

[polar nest]

i like psyspam, but the psyspam team i made might just be atrocious

[solid frigate]

Psyspam CSR maybe?

or Psyspam Lunala?

[polar nest]

ye the psyspam team i made is lunala

i like it cuz its bulkier

maybe psyspam luna + korai?

i js love the lake trio

so i threw uxie and golduck on there

cuz golduck simple beam makes calm mine mean

i havent tested it tho so idk if it works

[solid frigate]

Lake trio Kinda sucks tho

Azelf just likes to blow itself apart
Uxie is just diet cresselia
And Mesprit doesn’t even know which disappointing Brothers gonna follow

[polar nest]

yea

but i do like golduck

[polar nest]

diet cress with e force

o cress has e force
