[rustic mountain]

dug is great

[polar canyon]

Not 30 minutes more like 15

I played just a couple games

[dense latch]

those indeedee m sneasler HO teams took over for a bit iirc

they're annoying

[rustic mountain]

reg h was pretty varied in what saw success

[forest arrow]

Hell a Charizard won a regional

[rustic mountain]

zard sun, arch rain, sneasler/indeedee, dnite balance and a few others im prolly missing

[polar canyon]

https://pokepast.es/423b75ff06bcb618 this is what I'd been using but now I just changed a few teras that I think were not quite right looking back

[dense latch]

p2 ursa

[polar canyon]

Wish I could remember what everything is calcd for

Other than weezing 1 point faster than ursa for acid spray

[solid frigate]

what does the boi done to you-

[molten oasis]

Great.

Can’t escape this dumbass fucking cat

I’ll do this later when I’m not tilted

[polar canyon]

No one can

But he's waiting

The bright side is that the dumbass cat makes it easier to fit what you do like into the team most of the time

[forest arrow]

https://tenor.com/view/incineroar-pokemon-gif-27110601

[rustic mountain]

nothing it just faded into obscurity and like i said i hadnt seen it since playing reg h again

i like hisuan arc

[rustic mountain]

jus a suggestion man

[polar canyon]

Helmet dog

[forest arrow]

I honestly think Harc was better with stuff like Chien Pao

[rustic mountain]

i think it jus isnt too great in reg h, i feel its a tera hog and a lot of things just dunk on it

[molten oasis]

The suggestion is only ever fucking incineroar

I’m tired of it man

[rustic mountain]

damn

[forest arrow]

Well sorry

[polar canyon]

Do you think chien harc would work in reg j

[rustic mountain]

no

[forest arrow]

No

Reg E/F

[polar canyon]

Ok

But

[rustic mountain]

yea harc isnt outright bad its just format dependent

[molten oasis]

I’m just done rn man, it’s all incin and I’m just tired of it

[polar canyon]

You could try primarina if you're tired of seeing opposing incin

[molten oasis]

There’s just not room to experiment with other fire types because of it and I find it pretty boring regardless of it getting wins

I’ll try again tomorrow

[polar canyon]

Type overlap is allowed

Is fire even bad defensively in reg h

[forest arrow]

Double intimate in a defiant heavy meta is definitely ballsy

double fighting weak too

[polar canyon]

I don't mean just harc

Drago mentioned experimenting with fire types

Aren't you basically only worried about like 3 pokemon when thinking about using fire types

Correct me if I'm wrong I haven't played much reg h recently

But like if you can get around peli primarina and garchomp

[forest arrow]

I mean you can use some of the fire starters

I think typhlo, Blaziken, and Charizard are ok

[molten oasis]

Idk it’s lame I just don’t care enough right now to do anything about it

I want a meta without incin again I’m sick of it

[polar canyon]

He's here to stay for better or for worse

[forest arrow]

Especially when he’s their poster child

[polar canyon]

I think it's more like an unintentional poster child

Incineroar is the face of vgc because it's good and not the opposite

[bold geode]

https://tenor.com/view/incineroar-default-dance-pokemon-fortnite-dance-emote-gif-2545029317203136789

[polar canyon]

I feel like it's easy to forget incin and rilla are starters

[molten oasis]

Fckn hate it but whatever

I’ll just slap incin on tomorrow

[polar canyon]

I've warmed up to the guy

It does feel good to play incin

[forest arrow]

Me too, Incin and Amoongus grew on me

[polar canyon]

Brute bonnet on my end

Playing reg j

I'm kinda just like, ok with playing meta teams now

[forest arrow]

well brute bonnet of course cause I play korai, but before reg I and G

I haven’t touched J cause it’s not the format VGC is going off of for events

fair to anyone that plays it tho

[polar canyon]

Bonnet has just been my goat since reg j is littered with hard tr

[polar canyon]

It's not?

[forest arrow]

Yeah that magearna ice rider team

[polar canyon]

Wrong reply

[forest arrow]

Not really without sun

[polar canyon]

.

[forest arrow]

I mean it was used but not to the extent that it was used with korai

Oh okay no it’s not

Reg H is the format they are going off of

[polar canyon]

Water bonnet is good into magearna cir

[polar canyon]

Fr?

[forest arrow]

Yes

Bonnets main thing was it being good into both horses so yeah I can see that

[polar canyon]

Not as fun into mag mirai hybrid tr

Kinda just sits there spamming rage powder when e terrain is up

Also like cts in reg j is killing me lol

I found a player with trick room arceus

I lost to it because ofc I didnt know

[red willow]

Eyyyyyy we made the trade Im Arceuse'd up now

Now to just build a team that doesnt suck

Would Arceus Chien Pao CSR Rilla Incin ???? 6th be a good start?

Actually 3x mons weak to fighting is sussy

[dull ibex]

The red justice

[nocturne holly]

Rain is goated

[polar canyon]

As a non arceus player it's awkward playing against arceus because if some non ghost mons take just enough chip they're already in range for priority kos

You could take advantage of that

csr gets some fat damage

[red willow]

Yeah espeed is cracked

[raw arch]

im working on building around leavanny, any advice? im thinking a team with sun and tailwind

[red willow]

Im thinking maybe ammoonguss or a water type for a slot

[jade dust]

If frostbite was added to the main game, would ice types become too bulky?

Given that snow boosts their defense by 50% and frostbite reduces special damage by 50% as well

Tho ice types don’t have resistances so it might not be a big deal anyway

Caly ice becomes a super wall

[polar canyon]

Does csr get wisp?

If not I don't think cir would get frostbite move

[jade dust]

Yes

Shadow rider gets will o wisp

[polar canyon]

I never noticed that

[jade dust]

Cuz nobody uses it

Just like how they never use taunt

[nocturne holly]

I think I saw it early reg g or some niche ahh set

Or I might be tweaking

also what is frostbite

[jade dust]

The special version of burn

[polar canyon]

Legends arceus reworks sleep and freeze

[jade dust]

Deals damage overtime and halves special attack

[jade dust]

I don’t think it would run frostbite either cuz it needs a single target attack, trick room and protect. They would run it in supports like ANinetales

[polar canyon]

If there's people who run icy wind ruination pao they'd also do frostbite pao

[jade dust]

Means less attacking moves to worry about

I’m pretty sure throat chop or ice spinner deal more damage than ruination

Unless it’s Zama

[polar canyon]

I don't get it either but I think I saw it in worlds?

I wasn't paying attention at that moment

[jade dust]

It was probably for zama specifically

But I don’t think it’s optimal in most cases

Chein Pao had very high attack

And sword of ruin

It doesn’t lack damage

Even gets sacred sword

[brave hazel]

Since flutter in my opinion is a better gengar with a better typing

Does mega gengar put her to bed ?

60/65/80/170/95/130

Gengar

Sableye version 4.28.2

[solid frigate]

yep still slower than flutter mane

[brave hazel]

Insane, I remember when he was like the fastest ghost type

He had good prime days

I was gonna say scarf it

But then I remember it needs to be holding a mega stone

[solid frigate]

it doesn't matter if Flutter is slower in raw speed (If Flutter is 189 Speed bare minimum for speedcreeping roaring moon and Gengar is 200 in mega form)

You still have this thing

92 SpA Flutter Mane Shadow Ball vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Gengar-Mega: 134-158 (99.2 - 117%) -- 87.5% chance to OHKO
252 SpA Gengar-Mega Shadow Ball vs. 156 HP / 4 SpD Flutter Mane: 132-156 (88 - 104%) -- 25% chance to OHKO

Plus Flutter Mane's Pretty much better min max spreads allows better stat invest on bulk

meanwhile Gengar can only invest on speed and special attack anyways

[brave hazel]

Damn, here I was all day thinking he would be a good flutter check

we think people will use mega or terra more in comp

& in general

[solid frigate]

even then Flutter Mane still beats it in a long run

more comfortably use Icy Wind or just attack

And not to mention focus sash sets working in sun which basically makes gengar MU even worse

[brave hazel]

Do you think people will use mega or terra more

& feel like mega don’t really change strats cause it’s just the stats of the pokemon that change

Where as terra can seriously change Strats because you’re changing a typing plus a terra boost attack

[solid frigate]

This was already answered back in Gen 7 where you use Megas and Z Moves

Tera is no different

[brave hazel]

I didn’t play Gen 7 so I never got to use Z moves

Were they pretty good ?

[solid frigate]

Uhhhh I don’t think it’s balanced

[short quiver]

im on a mission to get a hoenn zigzagoon

[short quiver]

yes

[short quiver]

It can get EXTREME SPEED????

[brave hazel]

Yooo just found a random shiny trapinch, area trap ability, never thought about it but does that affect actual battles ? Prevents switching out ?

[stone trellis]

It does.

Arena Trap prevents all grounded Pokemon (except for Ghost types) from switching out.

[brave hazel]

So if I switch it into a miraidon, it’s legit cooked ?

[stone trellis]

This is my first serious Reg H game, but I think I played somewhat well.

Very impressive that people can make cute art of the ugly bastard

[stone trellis]

Would Ice Rider have Glastrier-themed ice skates?

[polar canyon]

For those tiny little stub feet?

[stone trellis]

Yeah, why not?

[polar canyon]

Can you call it a foot if it's more like a nub

[stone trellis]

No idea.

I just thought it'd be really funny.

[polar canyon]

Hey I'm in reg j top 500 list

Idk how good is that since idk how many people play it on showdown

Probably ok I guess

My stats aren't looking too good

[polar canyon]

Made it to 1500s

Maybe the team is good enough for cart ranked ladder

[stone trellis]

What's the team?

[polar canyon]

That same electabuzz one

Told you it works

[stone trellis]

Oh.

For some reason, I confused you with a guy from the MoxieBoosted server who was talking about building a Terapagos-Zarude team.

The thing about Terapagos is that it's like Groudon, it's kind of a bum but it can become 50 times better when you put it next to something strong.

But when you put it next to the Jungle Bros' favorite meal, its fraudulent qualities begin to show more and more.

[polar canyon]

I think I finally found the perish song arceus

[stone trellis]

Do you have pivoting moves aside from Volt Switch?

[polar canyon]

No

Wish I could have fit more in the team without giving away other things but it is what it is

Honesty I haven't even been using volto switch now that you point it out

[stone trellis]

You might want to keep it.

[polar canyon]

Just in case kind of deal ig

[stone trellis]

Do you have any specific mons on your team that eat Arceus for lunch?

[polar canyon]

Like koraidon if it doesn't tera

And csr if it's tera ghost

[stone trellis]

That's good.

[polar canyon]

It's still tricky to get good positioning tho

https://pokepast.es/3c52b64aff4d9cee

If you want another look

[stone trellis]

I want to run this on my Switch, but I traded my low Attack IV Calyrex away.

[real prairie]

@chrome knot you convinced me...

Early unrendered sketch of my Regulation I team I'm currently using on Ladder

[chrome knot]

CUTEEEEEE

ludi looks & pon look so sillyyyyyy

[real prairie]

Using a mirror herb as a fan 🤣

[stone trellis]

What's Tsareena holding, the Life Orb?

[polar canyon]

Is that a mirror herb?

[stone trellis]

Yes.

He literally said it was one four messages ago.

[real prairie]

Wide lens

[polar canyon]

Ok mr math

[stone trellis]

Oh yeah, you're right.

[polar canyon]

I think clear amulet as a necklace is cute

[real prairie]

In the render I'll make it so she's using it to look at bugs or something

[polar canyon]

I thought it was more like a little trinket with a band attached

Like a wristband or something

[stone trellis]

It's called an "amulet".

[real prairie]

😭

[polar canyon]

Amulet not equals necklace

I think

[real prairie]

It doesn't, you are right

But it's common

[stone trellis]

I don't know, I feel like it won't look that good on your arm.

[polar canyon]

I mean the item art doesn't even look like it's big enough for a wristband

More like a keychain

[real prairie]

Depends on the Pokémon. A humanoid Pokémon could make it work well.

Look like a cute arm band on something mike Meowscarada

[polar canyon]

I want a clear amulet keychain now

It would be funny if it hangs from the big tall spike on glastriers head on cir

Realistically I think it would just be levitating because calyrex can do that effortlessly

[stone trellis]

I need to get back to doing that drawing.

[real prairie]

First time I've drawn in nearly 15 years

You lot inspired me

[stone trellis]

Incineroar when he tries to intimidate the frozen king (some random-ass piece of jewelry is floating above its head):

[stone trellis]

You're welcome.

[red willow]

Am I tripping or did I read that there is a gimmicky strategy to kill tastugiri with toxic orb inside dozo then flamigo can get costar buff? Everything about it sounds incorrect lol

Wouldnt the buff go away if tatsu faints since its his ability giving the stat buff

[lean ridge]

It’s true

It requires basically KOing half your team though

The strategy is to start with final gambit ape and toxic orb tatsugiri and use final gambit on ur tatsu + endure with tatsugiri

Then when u bring in the dondozo, tatsu will faint the next turn and u can bring in the flamingo

[polar canyon]

Which is really funny when you use follow me

It doesn't have to be final gambit

[red willow]

Okay so youre down 2 mons to get 2 buffed mons

[polar canyon]

Honestly you could do it with miraidon volt switch

[red willow]

Is it worth? Lol

[polar canyon]

It's more of a gimmick

[lean ridge]

The gimmick was only really used in reg H I believe

I think with a restricted ur better off using psych up on ur dondozo with calyrex

[polar canyon]

You can do it with switching moves too tho so that you don't sacrifice a whole mon

[lean ridge]

Calyrex ice with +2 in everything seems unkillable

With leftovers and leech seed

[polar canyon]

It also seems incredibly lame but if it wins it wins

[lean ridge]

Yea the only problem is fake out pressure

Which is why the ape was usually used

[polar canyon]

And redirection

[lean ridge]

Redirection wasn’t the end of the world for the ape since u just get a free kill then u can play normal dondozo stall

But yea with volt switch it could be a problem

[stone trellis]

Jesus Christ, why are there zero 3D models of Ursaluna?

The only ones I can find are for Minecraft.

And Bloodmoon.

I DON'T WANT TO DRAW BM MOTHERFUCKER

[stone trellis]

Update #120000: I finished Lunala and James' Brute Bonnet.

And yes, it looking like a Sith Lord was intentional.

[waxen dock]

nice drawing

[stone trellis]

Thanks.

[rustic mountain]

his lunala was shiny?

[lost sun]

any news on champions

[rustic mountain]

other then wat we got the other day?

[lost sun]

idk what that was

[rustic mountain]

vgc is moving to champions in 2026

first format will include megas

[lost sun]

nice

hopefully the new ones aren't too busted

[rustic mountain]

[dull ibex]

Just Megas?

[rustic mountain]

yes

[red willow]

Wow ho oh has good stats why do I never see it

4x weak to rock maybe?

[molten oasis]

130 attack without a way to boost it is pretty meh

[solid frigate]

honesttly we come to this point where 130 is meh

Is so depressing

[molten oasis]

for a restricted

[stone trellis]

So I've heard.

[stone trellis]

130 Attack with no real access to an ability which boosts its offense or a way to hold an item to boost the power of its moves without compromising isn't exactly top-tier restricted material.

And it never has been.

[rustic mountain]

i mean wen ur talkin restricted it is, in general id say thats a great atk stat otherwise

[solid frigate]

tbh i'd give it a break

Lugia has Calm Mind and still doesn't do as much as Terapagos do cuz of its 90 SpA

[rustic mountain]

yea old restricteds just got hard power crept, only ones that are still relevant are gdon and ogre

[spiral ridge]

cant wait for next game to introduce new rain restricted

[rustic mountain]

lol

[stone trellis]

They won't.

Kyogre's a special attacker, they love them.

[rustic mountain]

wheres the love for reshiram, mewtwo, kyruem and all the rest of the bad sp atker restricteds

[stone trellis]

Kyurem-White has its own niche.

It's literally one setup move away from being actually good.

Make Ice Burn Ice-type Meteor Beam and make Kyurem 10 points faster, then we're talking.

[solid frigate]

i'm down with it 100%

Give Kyogre a break

like he needs a break from all the backlifting in gen 9 for the gen 3 restricteds

[stone trellis]

Just buff Groudon.

Oh yeah, physical attacker.

(I know Primal Groudon's a thing, but Pdon is mixed so shut the fuck up)

[chrome knot]

mega urshifu

[spiral ridge]

please no

just fucking punching mega water balloons through protects

[rustic mountain]

[stone trellis]

"We're glad to announce that Single Strike and Rapid Strike Urshifu will be receiving their own Mega Evolutions! They won't need to hold an item, but they will need to have their signature moves learned in order to be able to unlock their Mega forms."

[rustic mountain]

unseen first but mega, if u protect it does double damage

[spiral ridge]

boy i cant wait to run only sun to make a statement

mega darkshifu just gets the menace ability like in MTG where to be attacked he gotta be doubled into or something

i cant think of anything for dark

[chrome knot]

achoo'

You at a Chinese buffet

[spiral ridge]

taco bell

[bold geode]

How many plates you eating

And I'm talking full plates, no tiny serving bullshit

[chrome knot]

uh i dont eat alot

[spiral ridge]

purely cus im going out and have nothing else to do

[chrome knot]

in one sitting, just alot throughout a day

like i think kat and i went out for breakfast lunch and dinner on each day x)

[bold geode]

Oh so basically you have girl dinner and then eat a fuckton of shit throughout

[craggy dagger]

same

[bold geode]

I know so many people like that

[craggy dagger]

damn y’all eat properly though-?

[bold geode]

They'll eat like barely anything for dinner but then you hop on a game with them and 99% of the time all you hear is crinkle crinkle munch munch

[bold geode]

Well not properly but I'm not eating throughout the whole day like that

Like I have actually 3 meals and maybe a snack or two
Cuz I'm fat

Hell I stopped working out
That's my issue

[dull ibex]

ew dollarmonke is here

[dull ibex]

SAME

I had a dream about vgc last night

[stone trellis]

I had a nightmare that Game Freak actually added these two to a game (don't ask, they're some stupidly broken paradox versions of Rayquaza I made).

Needless to say, I was scared shitless when I woke up.

[dull ibex]

I was playing sun hyper offense

im so obessed with HO its infecting dreams

[stone trellis]

The second guy I've made is literally sun HO incarnate, I think our dreams might be linked.

[dull ibex]

I can't remember the team well

other then koraidon mane

maybe a fanmon or two

[stone trellis]

Chi-Yu, maybe?

[brave hazel]

Farming every pokemon in its shiny form that I’ll need for comp when champions drop. Except for legends of course

But any suggestions for any pokemon that I’ll need or that is really good

[brave hazel]

Always look after your health bro

Congratulations!

What team do you use?

[heady onyx]

sorry reg J

not I

using Arceus Terapagos

[stone trellis]

I thought you were using Gravity Darkrai and I was about to fry you, but that's genuinely a fun duo.

[heady onyx]

arceus covers terapagos bad matchup

[stone trellis]

Which is?

[heady onyx]

hyperoffense

turtle needs to ramp up

[stone trellis]

Too bad Urshifu + Farigiraf kinda...

[heady onyx]

but it beats out both caly so is good

farigiraf is fodder for this duo

it's free setup

[stone trellis]

Setup in front of who, Urshifu?

[heady onyx]

shifu doesnt live pagos tera

[stone trellis]

What are you gonna do, die to CC or Tera Ghost the Arceus and take 80% from Foul Play because you just SD'd?

[heady onyx]

arceus fairy kinda feeds on urshifu

[stone trellis]

Pagos doesn't live Urshifu Tera either.

[heady onyx]

mine does

Oh, I thought you used E-Speed Arceus.

[heady onyx]

yes espeed arceus

By the way, do you have any specific tech for the Darkrai matchup?

Because that shit can be really annoying if your team isn't prepared for it.

[short quiver]

or should i say i love pipebomb and dead fish

[forest arrow]

you can hh your own dengo and para opposing

[nocturne holly]

Tree what’s your like strat or guide line for leading with the rain team
I’m having trouble with my leads

[rustic mountain]

yea i see the merit to it

[forest arrow]

Prob not worth but I bet the damage is crazy

[rustic mountain]

incin just the goat

[forest arrow]

very true

[short quiver]

omg tinkatonnnnnn

[forest arrow]

idk how triple steel would fair

[short quiver]

i just read that message

[rustic mountain]

it varies all the time depending on wat im facing

most common leads i guess are incin basc, basc arch or arch peli

but again i really lead just about every combo imaginable its very based on wat kinda mons im up against

[polar canyon]

How much is that

Like points

[rustic mountain]

im at 1447

[polar canyon]

I mean elo

Oh that's considered good?

[rustic mountain]

once the ladders developed itd be considered mid ladder but rn its almost top 250, up to u to decide whether thats good or not, im pretty pleased w/ it considering im not too far off coming back from a bit of a break

[polar canyon]

Do you think that would be good for reg j

[foggy lodge]

I went back to the Tangs team

[rustic mountain]

idk wat the reg j ladder is

[foggy lodge]

I may play a limitless tour with it

[polar canyon]

I landed at 211 there

But like I'm not sure if that's even good if people don't actually even like reg j

I think I'm just gonna leave that account there

[rustic mountain]

its say around top 200 is solid

[polar canyon]

Ah

Maybe I should try to push a bit further

[rustic mountain]

up to u

[polar canyon]

But I get the feeling I might just get a losing streak and snowball down

I think I'll just leave that account there

I left my mark and it's a very fragile mark that can crumble if I try to mess with it again

[nocturne holly]

what item r u running on basc and dengo, im doing band and lorb rn
Also what set do u have on incin

[dense latch]

worrying about elo and placement and having that scare you off playing ladder will get you nowhere if you want to improve

[solid frigate]

Reg J? What is it? Isn’t that just Reg I 2

[left bobcat]

Reg g with extra steps

Everything is reg g with extra steps if u think about it

[forest arrow]

https://pokepast.es/1c4f07cbc1c6c519

quite literally normal rain + tink lol

[rustic mountain]

band and metal coat

incin is standard p shot blitz knock off and fo

[rustic mountain]

i mean like idk where the ladder is at elo wise cuz i havent played it

[dense latch]

i just checked #1 is 1755 already lol

like 100 more elo than in reg h

[rustic mountain]

triple steel seems like it could b problematic but overall solid. also dont love tera ghost peli no protect, feel like it incentivizes burning the tera too often, wats wide guard even for

e force eruption stuff?

[forest arrow]

Yeah manual sun/psyspam

could prob go defensive tera and give a little bulk

[rustic mountain]

sash is nice insurance

[molten oasis]

Tinkaton’s cool

[nocturne holly]

Also another problem is when I think amoongus dengo and incin are really good but don’t what to do for the 4th slot
Like basc needs rain, arch not so much, and then there peli which ig is useful with tw

[rustic mountain]

i usually go peli and sometimes basc if thats the case

u can work around no rain for basc ur jus not gna have the speed/damage u usually do

usually peli is jus better tho

[nocturne holly]

Ok thx

[molten oasis]

https://pokepast.es/4f0dfb6826b3e395 still coping on harc (my sun mu sucks) but im enjoying this, a little

[forest arrow]

Yeah..

[molten oasis]

I really think I need to invest into bulk

[foggy lodge]

Yes

[forest arrow]

imma just run incin lmaoo

[molten oasis]

Cuz my team is really frail otherwise

I need to threaten damage on Zard

I don’t with everything on that team.

Ok lemme note

I don’t do anything before Zard does 50-ohkoing something

Incin can’t get rid of it before my team members are pretty much evaporated

Harc has a place here and it works

[short quiver]

chat random question, would morpeko be good in reg h

i want my 6th slot to be just random

like totodile at worlds 2025 type shit

[forest arrow]

I just decided to go with incin lol, if it ain’t broke don’t fix it lol

[rustic mountain]

[short quiver]

i hate scalpers i cant even buy cards at meijers

[jade dust]

This is the first time in history that both box legendaries win the world championships in their debut generation right?

Lunala won in gen 7 but not Solgaleo, and Zacian won in gen 8 but not Zama

[warped mason]

We like bullying calyrex

[short quiver]

rip to zamazenta

[brave hazel]

Hmm would a flutter perish song build with a trapinch switch in

work

Trap can’t learn protect tho hmm

[craggy dagger]

trapinch...

[rustic mountain]

faced a team w/ no restricteds climbing back from pokeball 5 (it was in greatball 8)

[cyan smelt]

Did U win

[short quiver]

issue with trapinch is anything that isnt on the ground can switch

arena trap only works on mons that arent flying or Levitating

[lean ridge]

Might as well just run shadow tag instead

Wolfe simulator

[short quiver]

then you only gotta worry about ghost types and uturn voltswitch flip turn and parting shot

and ig baton pass and shed tail but no one uses those

[lean ridge]

Ghost types are immune to the perish trap yea but u can usually play around the pivot moves with a combination of fake out and protects

[short quiver]

or smthn like memento if they wanna be sadistic enough

[lean ridge]

And stall until they faint to the song

[short quiver]

what if you run into that one person using baton pass

[lean ridge]

No one ever uses baton pass in doubles

[short quiver]

exactly

what if you run into that one person with it just to ruin your perish song

[lean ridge]

That would be pretty unfortunate 😭

[short quiver]

it would be so unfortunate for you, but great for them

i should start running baton pass just to deal with perish song 🤔

or shed tail

although only a handful of mons even get that move

omg theres another move that can deny perish song

healing wish 🙂

the user dies anyways but they actually gain something from it

[rustic mountain]

[cyan smelt]

Maybe they were practising for reg h

[dense latch]

https://tenor.com/view/kanye-raise-award-well-never-know-oh-well-gif-5061742

[rustic mountain]

they had legendaries

just no restricteds

[dense latch]

they got stuck in reg f

[rustic mountain]

yea it was more like a reg e team

heatran cress urshi torn

[craggy dagger]

reg F

that’s so reg F

[rustic mountain]

i think im facing the same guy i just beat

[dense latch]

that's almost a gen 5 team

[short quiver]

and then the water bear

[rustic mountain]

heatran was kinda mid by then

[waxen dock]

lando t cresselia and hetran are so reg d and e

[rustic mountain]

yea

[craggy dagger]

let’s say early F

[forest arrow]

Yeah LO lando really picked up in F bc of bolt too

which in turn wasnt great for heatran

[craggy dagger]

yup

[dense latch]

i love lando i

[deft crescent]

https://pokepast.es/651afa8c8a78bcac what do we think of this sandstorm team I made?

[craggy dagger]

um
sandstorm reg i huh

looks fine but calyrex shadow is really gonna hate that chip

[deft crescent]

maybe I could swap it out for landorus?

[craggy dagger]

that becomes a reg G team-
i’m
thinking maybeeeee
hmm…
ice rider or smth

a little more bulky

don’t get me wrong, it’s a good idea on paper

[deft crescent]

fair, but I don't really have any special damage then

[craggy dagger]

but caly shadow dislikes taking any sort of damage that’s not life orb recoil

[deft crescent]

fair

[craggy dagger]

ig you do have dkiss

test it out and see how it feels

if it feels weird, you can always switch things up or tweak things

[chrome knot]

anyone got any good current reg teams I could make

[chrome knot]

hope for reasonable diagnosis

[rustic mountain]

3rd swordfish team in a row

13-1 to hit mball

rank 995

[deft crescent]

so apparently I cannot stop tailwind + kyogre

[short quiver]

did you guys know hoenn zigzagoon and linoone can learn Espeed

[rustic mountain]

yes

[cosmic patio]

how should I change this team

[short quiver]

i wanna do something with that but idk yet

[deft crescent]

first thing is to get rid of sneasler so that way you become a better person morally

[cosmic patio]

no I love my shiny alpha bebeh🥹

[rustic mountain]

what r u even goin for

like wat format is that

[deft crescent]

if any1 has a kyogre team could u battle me

[cosmic patio]

sure

[dense latch]

your calyrex should 100% have protect, drop taunt

i don't see how either ttar or chomp can make an impact in reg i to be honest, the other 3 mons are fine but i'd consider running way less bulk on ogerpon cornerstone, sturdy lets you afford to run little to no bulk

you can just do 252 atk 252 speed jolly or smth like this to live tera water surging strikes
Ogerpon-Cornerstone @ Cornerstone Mask
Ability: Sturdy
Level: 50
Tera Type: Rock
EVs: 28 HP / 76 Atk / 148 Def / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature

• Ivy Cudgel
• Power Whip
• Follow Me
• Spiky Shield

then clefairy should have friend guard over magic guard, the latter is useless and friend guard is part of what makes clefairy viable
i'd also def drop iron defense for wide guard on zama, especially since you struggle vs kyogre

a large majority of calyrex shadow riders are max speed timid so you're going to be the slower calyrex 90% of the time

[deft crescent]

dude, thanks, however I dropped clefairy in favor for whismicott (because apparently kyogre + tailwind goes brrrrr) and also I now have tailwind so I can be faster than other calyrex most of the time and ogerpon isn't supposed to be attacking he is supposed to be support

[gentle crag]

electric_kingly has given 1 Gen Rep to eriksp

[dense latch]

if you want a defensive redirection option i'd opt out of ogerpon cornerstone, part of what makes it strong is its ability to hit hard and fast while still being able to tank a hit thanks to sturdy

[gentle crag]

eriksp has given 1 Gen Rep to electric_kingly

[dense latch]

with clefairy on the team i'd argue you'd be fine without it

https://pokepast.es/c0e414126a010375 this team just top cut worlds and i think it fits what you're trying to accomplish, you can certainly switch some stuff around move wise but ogerpon-fire may be better as defensive redirection

[deft crescent]

no it is not at all

this is a SANDSTORM team

[dense latch]

it's a csr zama team at its core with a sandstorm mode, which i don't think brings much value in this regulation

you can try it out but i don't know what they do to help vs the meta

[deft crescent]

I just wanted to build a good sandstorm team

[cosmic patio]

do you have a version with evs? just wondering bc I want to make this team

[dense latch]

nah the team creator hasn't released evs yet

[deft crescent]

is balze or frisk better on typhlosion in bo1 cts?

[rustic mountain]

frisk

[molten oasis]

Damn pop off

[rustic mountain]

[molten oasis]

I’m doing a little better today

[uneven quarry]

Anyone want to 1v1 I just made a build and I want to try it

[molten oasis]

I think gambit a9 and chomp are gonna stay, I like these 3 a lot

And gambit just inherently feels crazy good to play

[waxen dock]

when does tpci announce the date of the first gc?

[brave hazel]

Is moxie or intimidate better for gyrados

Also was it’s mega any good ? I forget

[waxen dock]

gyrados is not really good in general

but i would say intimidate

[brave hazel]

Dragon dance set with ground terra is pretty good ain’t it ?

Especially with scale shot

[waxen dock]

scale shot?

[brave hazel]

The dragon move that hits 5 times with loaded dice

[waxen dock]

so what is its moves

[brave hazel]

Raises your speed to

[brave hazel]

Huh?

[waxen dock]

what are its moves

exept scale shot

[cyan smelt]

tyranitar is awesome, i kinda want to use it for reg h

[stone trellis]

Tera Shell works for the first attack only.

[short quiver]

leftovers casually existing

[stone trellis]

I don't play Pagos, I just love slandering it.

[stone trellis]

So if I were to say, double up into Terapagos and break Tera Shell first before hitting it with CC, are the Leftovers going to heal back the 45-54% damage it takes from Scarf E-Drift before Close Combat hits it?

I've never heard of Lefties healing 45% mid-turn.

[short quiver]

kid named protect:
doubling into the turtle is so easy to predict 😭

[stone trellis]

Protect in front of Urshifu?

Switch CSR in front of Wicked Blow with no Focus Sash, why don't you?

[short quiver]

oh no! i cant switch to another mon! what a scary bear! whatever shall i do 😨

[short quiver]

why the hell would i use rappa+csr

[stone trellis]

I was just saying that using Protect when Urshifu is free to fire off an attack is about as stupid as just switching CSR into a super effective attack when its Focus Sash is broken and expecting it to live.

[short quiver]

🤷‍♂️

[stone trellis]

If that didn't make sense to you, I'm sorry for the wording.

[short quiver]

it does im just still trying to grasp why using rappa and csr on the same team would ever happen

[stone trellis]

No one ever said anything about using the two on the same team.

This is referring to two completely different scenarios.

Dragonite & victre already 100% confirmed so this could be real

[craggy dagger]

scarf chomp?

[molten oasis]

No

Life orb chomp

[craggy dagger]

aw

[foggy lodge]

Banded Chomp is also good

[molten oasis]

I see it but I need protect on it

[foggy lodge]

Actually why don't you just try Agati's team

It has a very similar core

[molten oasis]

I don’t have sufficient tw support for band chomp

[molten oasis]

What exactly is agati’s team

[foggy lodge]

A9 Chomp Gambit Amoonguss Incin Dnite

[molten oasis]

:/

[foggy lodge]

https://pokepast.es/72b0532a1e626ced

[jade dust]

So the leaks were real

[foggy lodge]

The same that Paul Chua used but different items

[jade dust]

At this point it has to be real

[molten oasis]

There’s no protects what

[jade dust]

They were right with Dragonite and this thing

[molten oasis]

Everything clicks buttons

[chrome knot]

@craggy dagger why does everyone say primarina is mid :<

[foggy lodge]

Dnite!!!

But yeah its wild lol

[craggy dagger]

prolly cuz of sneasler…

[foggy lodge]

Tho this team doesn't really have that much EQ sinergy

Because it only has one protect and on the mon that is inmune to ground lmao

[chrome knot]

butbut

anti sneasler bomb..

[craggy dagger]

i mean
prim def can work but dire claw bad

[molten oasis]

Well there’s one but like, positioning this seems really annoying

@foggy lodge how do you position this team? There’s no protects

[spiral ridge]

prim was super fun to use but yeah sneasler was annoying

[foggy lodge]

Around Incin Guss as your repositionary pieces

A lot of leads of this tema are Incin guss or pure damage with a combination of the other 4

[chrome knot]

butbut i only take 70% max from it…

[craggy dagger]

[molten oasis]

Mm

I’ll try it just, this is not a style of team I love

[spiral ridge]

and hten slept to take another 70% :3

[chrome knot]

WTF

[molten oasis]

Oh it’s not even Sd Tera dark gambit

That set is lit

[dense latch]

i don’t see the harm in changing it to sd gambit

[molten oasis]

I also don’t really like band and specs a9

Im fine with one or the other but both just seems like positioning hell

And it’s so heavily reliant on incin and amoonguss

[dense latch]

this team was pre scale shot dnite being super meta so if you did scale shot dnite + haze rather than lum you could drop clear smog on amoong for protect

and lorb chomp is an option too

[molten oasis]

Here, 1 sec

I haven’t ran into likikoal with this variant

I think ewebs electabuzz can be fun

Oh this is the wrong paste

[red willow]

Someone smarter than me why does chien pao run Ice Shard in Singles but not doubles

[molten oasis]

https://pokepast.es/beb0cf6ec08f8c2b

[molten oasis]

People use ice shard in doubles

[red willow]

Huh weird non of the sets I saw were on it

Ig ice spinner real good v mirai tho

And rilla

[molten oasis]

Life orb and assault vest chien pao sets use ice shard

[red willow]

I think mines on sash? Iirc

[foggy lodge]

Chien Pao has 4 move slot syndrome and therefore you usually have to forfeit that move for protect and the coverage

• sucker punch is just really good into most Pokémon

Chien Pao in VGC always runs ice stab + sucker punch + protect + 4th move that varies between sacred sword, throat chop, crunch, etc

Just lately with AV sets in reg I it started running more support sets and therefore making ice shard a valuable pick

[deft crescent]

https://pokepast.es/439d512e4edc2455 thoughts?

[stone trellis]

1. Why is Whimsicott so slow?

2. Why does Tyranitar have to hold the Smooth Rock?

[deft crescent]

I didn't like choice band

on tyranitar that is

[stone trellis]

3. Even if Tyranitar has to hold the Smooth Rock for whatever reason, why is it forgoing Protect?

Choice Band isn't your only option.

[deft crescent]

what else is there?

[stone trellis]

Assault Vest works just fine, though Ting-Lu honestly does Ttar's job way better at that point.

[deft crescent]

this is a sandstorm team....

[bold geode]

Damn we on the same wavelength

[knotty briar]

Funny that we get a reg H competition announced the moment we get to use shiny Chien-Pao

[lofty tartan]

We're playing Reg H for all of competitive until like January, this isn't a surprise.

Regulation J is a nothing-burger format that is for fun only. They're going to do actual formats that don't involve Mythicals for competitions.

Mythicals are exclusive and people are complaining already about their availability in regards to J.

[next stump]

it’s time to use tera fighting tera blast gholdengo again

[knotty mirage]

I have question is there other viable item for chien pao that's not sash ?

I really want to use pao but caly s already hold the focus sash

[lean ridge]

[dense latch]

[polar canyon]

Late reply but I'm choosing to believe the pokemon company is wrong on this one actually

You don't say giraffe like guhraffe

That is so stupid

[foggy lodge]

Gamble on the focus blast

[polar canyon]

It will never be the close combat gholdengo

[dull ibex]

@bold geode did you claim your shiny chien

[rustic mountain]

[waxen dock]

Yessssss finaly

I built my team yesterday(august 21)

[solid frigate]

run it back time

[waxen dock]

I waited a lot of time for this

I just need 2 things and im done

[waxen dock]

what did you expect

[knotty briar]

What should I do for EVs and nature here?
It's for the Indeedee Armarouge combo

[foggy lodge]

Use female is its for Armarouge

Male is really like to get started by itself

[waxen dock]

if you use male use sash or scarf

because male is very frail

[knotty briar]

I really wanna use male for this team so I'll probably run sash then
