lake trio can’t use spread eforce unless you somehow get rid of levitate

polar nest
#

ye i do that with simple beam

tribal vortex
#

Or you could do a Gravity partner

dense latch
#

i feel like that’s too much work to use pokemon that won’t even be good after the setup

tribal vortex
#

Depends. There are some that can do setup and more for doubles. Indeedee comes to mind

polar nest
#

i might try that

solid frigate
#

i would rather help accuracy Problems

polar nest
#

hmm ok

solid frigate
#

me when Gravity Sableye did Gravity to help Groudon but also help me Land Origin Pulse:

tribal vortex
#

Tempted to get into competitve, but I don't think my meme builds will stand a chance against legends

solid frigate
tribal vortex
polar nest
#

Ye i love those

tribal vortex
solid frigate
#

there’s no hope /j

#

you probably better to just use Rental Teams to know what are the meta rn

tribal vortex
#

Yeah, I figured. Probably gonna stick to casual

solid frigate
#

Its not like casual or not

#

if you wanna do VGC you can try rental teams first then teambuild

#

since Teambuilding requires a lot of Understanding

polar nest
#

True

#

I've spent over a year learning this game

#

I still suck

#

Here is how to make some1 mad

solid frigate
polar nest
#

yaaaaay

#

i was thinking maybe amoongus

solid frigate
#

If i have a dollar of Any Indeedee in this comp chat run imprison

I won’t be rich but i would still have a couple of Dollars

polar nest
#

imprison is pretty strong i think

#

dont have to worry abt opponents prot or follow me

#

and no tr mind games

#

as long as indeedee stays on the field

solid frigate
#

honestly Imprision feels like a wasted slot in a Team with Trick Room in mind

polar nest
#

oh? ok

#

well what should i do instead?

solid frigate
#

Dazzling Gleam or Psychic for Indeedee

polar nest
#

ok

solid frigate
#

at least let it attack

polar nest
#

ill do d gleam

I could see it working, though it could also be nice to have the stab dgleam for dark types

polar nest

btw does sheer force negate outrage confusion?

#

not sure what counts as a secondary effect

bold geode
#

Don't think so?

polar nest
#

I'm going for tr

#

So i thought since dawn wings was 20 pts slower it would make more sense

south shuttle
bold geode
#

Tbf it could
I just never really seen an Outrage Sheer Force Pokemon nor have I had a case to use it

#

Tbf though, idt one would want to run Outrage
Hell some of them even run Special attacks for specific reasons
For example fun fact

#

Landorus Incarnate's attack is higher than its special attack

#

But factors such as Intimidate or the moves on one side being better than the other has Landorus Incarnate using special attacks

Like would you let a fish annoy you?

molten oasis

WITH WHAT HANDS lmao

foggy lodge
#

How does taunt even work

molten oasis
#

Idk

foggy lodge
#

Is it basically a disrespect

#

Like "lmao get critted"

molten oasis
#

I imagine incin just yells, nice words

#

It’s probably just disrespect tho

foggy lodge
#

Yeah

#

What was the other one

#

The one that doesn't let you use the same move repeatedly

molten oasis
#

Torment

#

Which, isn’t good lol

#

I’ve never seen that move used

foggy lodge
#

ok but

#

Choice items

#

Wait no disable is just better for that

#

Nvm don't use that

molten oasis

Lmao

There’s a move better at that

Just the fact there’s no nature/not intimidate/tera fire/no moves (ik what you were doing)

I didn't elaborate

Oh the, THEY CHANGED THE SPRITES?!

I used the 2d sprites

Zacian’s is animated cutezacian

why did someone roll up to portland with this teamsheet

#

the more you look at it the worse it gets

Did they play a round hahaha

their opponent got a free win and ended up cutting

Bolt is somehow the most normal thing-

#

Cuz it looks like a Pokemon that would have Dragon Hammer

dense latch
solid frigate
#

yeah so its the most normal one lmao

i looked at it at first and wondered why hands got ally switch or acid armor

then i saw the abilities

solid frigate
tribal brook
#

Has there been any good Sun teams lately? If so, what are people using for it these days?

foggy lodge
#

Koraidon + Lunala/CSR

#

Usually both run Chi-Yu, Flutter, Brute Bonnet, Ursaluna, maybe Incin and Amoonguss over Chi-Yu and Brute Bonnet for more balance variants like Wolfey's

#

Or other ones with Weezing and ability shield Koraidon, maybe with some Dondozo Tatsugiri mode

#

And Groudon did well at Portland today

tribal brook
#

Oh cool. Could Groudon be a good replacement for Lunala since I don't have access to that pokemon?

foggy lodge
#

Koraidon + Groudon?

tribal brook
#

Yes

#

Or really just any solid non-legendary

foggy lodge
#

I mean nothing prohibites that but

#

I really think its not a viable duo

#

I don't see any value that Groudon adds to Koraidon or viceversa

tribal brook
#

Gotcha

foggy lodge
#

Its still an explorable archetype

#

Do you have Miraidon

tribal brook
#

I do

foggy lodge
#

Cause I think Groudon Miraidon can do well

tribal brook
#

Really? Interesting

foggy lodge
#

This is a team that is doing well at Portland regionals

#

Could grab inspiration from this team

#

Or just try this one and see if you like it

tribal brook
#

I wonder what makes Miraidon a solid choice here

foggy lodge
#

It covers well some problems Groudon has

#

Hits water and flying types super effectively and Groudon does that against opposing electric and grass types that annoy Miraidon

tribal brook
#

Oh I see, makes sense

#

I'll try that team then

solid frigate
timber falcon
#

What up with AV miraidon these days? Anyone know why people started opting for a bulkier set

#

Cause I’m testing out one of the teams, but aren’t too sure as to why exactly it’s built in such a way

I upgraded my dlc leggies into:

i usually side move into resists

bold geode
#

Right

chrome knot
#

so the damage to me never matters

#

or like side parting shot on a mon i know isnt useful later

#

lemme find the replay it was kinda cool, i cleared board with mirai but i rly needed incin to take a hit first AND leave the field

bold geode
#

Ok
So the answer is no

chrome knot

so i side parting shot mirai after everything died bc next turn i already had intended to bring incin back in on mirai slot GiggleHehe

Why is Koraidon + Ho-oh not used that much?

Lunadon and lunaidon

#

Hell if it weren't for the life issues I would have been to San Antonio and NAIC both last year and this year in a heartbeat but like
Depending on locations next year I MIGHT look into a regional next season

Aaron got encore lock to sucker

which is better for him than Zhe Zhang

since you force Zhe Zhang to Attack and CSR can't live a SOR Lorb Sucker

#

if it lives and won the speed tie you can stall the sucker with protects

which is highly unlikely

does sheer force stop the hp recovery of drain punch or does drain punch still heal i just wanna double check that it doesn’t negate

Whats up with these leech seed caly ice teams

Who the fuck came up with that idea

knotty mirage

I think winner from regional does

That's the reason why ladder now filled with stall leech seed caly ice team SadMimi

I love leech seed

astral kelp

i made this team for the dream basculegion sweep

sharp cobalt

Live love Basculegion

astral kelp

but i keep winning from just specs csr

solid frigate
astral kelp
#

whats a ground type thats still good without their ability

#

i was kinda thinking of trying av great tusk but its weak to dazzling gleam which is yikes

#

so maybe a slow threads?

#

even rhydon could be interesting

#

toadscruel doesnt really do enough

#

or a tailwindable blood moon?

#

evd to outspeed land in tailwind?

solid frigate
#

i think Blursa kinda don't need to be tailroom here

Infact it feels like a dead weight

#

i rather use lando here

astral kelp
#

yeah but weezing

astral kelp
#

i will want to bring weezing into mirai a lot

solid frigate
#

its just you don't have a TR mode to capitalise Blursa here

#

weezing Stole that spot

chrome knot
#

naic is in 2 weeks(panic)

astral kelp
#

building weezing is soo hard

#

because like i need a way to deal with ground types, miraidon kinda shits on me, and hard trick room beats me most of the time if i dont play well enough

foggy lodge
#

Don't use Zama Weezing lol

red willow
#

Is hurricane better than bleakwind on tornadus especially if I have kyogre so I dont get completely hosed by wide guard lol

solid frigate
#

also confusion is funny

red willow

Right on could I not also hypothetically taunt the wide guard mon?

astral kelp

Worked decently well actually

It's just kinda akward rn lol

what should i even do in moments like this

why would you not lead Miraidon there tbh?

lost sun
#

or wide guard if u have it

timber falcon
#

luckily i won quite easily though

foggy lodge
#

Those don't counter

#

Most likely you just volt switch out

timber falcon
foggy lodge
#

nuke it with volt switch for like 40%

lost sun
#

no way that would do only 40%

foggy lodge
#

I assume they are AV

#

If they are specs it should do like 80%

lost sun
#

ye bolt would take 40 maybe less cus quad resist

foggy lodge
#

Nah bolt takes only like 10%
