#

yeah

shadow wind Sep 17, 2025, 4:03 AM

#

Did it have an AV Hamurott?

cyan smelt Sep 17, 2025, 4:03 AM

nope but it had scyther and tera flying acro sneasler

austere iron Sep 17, 2025, 4:03 AM

pokemon come n go on usage.

#

I don't have the exact formats memorized on which pokemon were meta and when.

shadow wind Sep 17, 2025, 4:08 AM

#

I don't really know what we're arguing here if I'm being real

#

I don't know if it was super meta at any point in Reg H though

austere iron Sep 17, 2025, 4:09 AM

#

super meta? No don't think so. I just know some people used it to counter stronger threats. especially in reg I against CSR

dense latch Sep 17, 2025, 4:09 AM

#

too much oil, there was no pan so you just burnt your house congratulations

shadow wind Sep 17, 2025, 4:09 AM

#

Weezing against CSR?

#

The pan was not big enough 😔

dense latch Sep 17, 2025, 4:10 AM

#

i'm not feeling slaking

shadow wind Sep 17, 2025, 4:10 AM

#

I have swapped the Pult for Dnite

dense latch Sep 17, 2025, 4:10 AM

#

what is the thing you're trying to make work

#

so i dont just suggest deleting it

#

slaking?

shadow wind Sep 17, 2025, 4:11 AM

#

Well I mean Slaking is just a strong dude

#

That's a big part of him

#

He OHKO's no invest Dnite

#

I'm really not feeling Indeedee though

#

The idea was for MausApe but man it's not working with the team

austere iron Sep 17, 2025, 4:17 AM

#

how are you using it? do you have any clips/replays of it?

shadow wind Sep 17, 2025, 4:18 AM

#

I have played 3 games with the team no I don't have any replays

austere iron Sep 17, 2025, 4:19 AM

#

Mausape is fun, but a lot of people quickly try to get rid of the Maushold so the Ape can't power up it's Rage Fist.

shadow wind Sep 17, 2025, 4:19 AM

#

Yeah except I can't get rid of it quickly

austere iron Sep 17, 2025, 4:20 AM

#

oh, you're countering the Mausape?

shadow wind Sep 17, 2025, 4:20 AM

#

How am I supposed to use Mausape with the mouse or the ape

austere iron Sep 17, 2025, 4:21 AM

#

shadow wind The idea was for MausApe but man it's not working with the team

your wording of this confuses me. once you said "except I can't get rid of it quickly:

shadow wind Sep 17, 2025, 4:21 AM

#

Yeah Indeedee

#

My plan was Psyspam into MausApe

#

Especially since they wouldn't have friend guard up with Gweezing being around

#

I just switch it in turn 2

#

I guess technically turn 1

austere iron Sep 17, 2025, 4:22 AM

#

so to be clear, you're not using Mausape, your plan is to DEFEAT Mausape, correct?

shadow wind Sep 17, 2025, 4:22 AM

#

Yes

austere iron Sep 17, 2025, 4:22 AM

The entire team is a bit of a mess as of right now so might as well

molten oasis Sep 17, 2025, 4:48 AM

That’s valid

shadow wind Sep 17, 2025, 4:49 AM

Nah cause how did I forgot that Gweezing stopped guts

since kingdra is pretty slow maybe i try tr and set up dragon cheer with hydrapple

I would say don't take slaking into ghost types lol

Guys the Farig OHKO was a roll 😔

I just need a special attacker with a spread move that hits Ape before and after tera fire

primarina?

austere iron Sep 17, 2025, 4:55 AM

#

hmm

#

that's a good one.

shadow wind Sep 17, 2025, 4:55 AM

#

It really needs its ability is the problem

#

And the whole point of Weezing is that it gets rid of friend guard

#

So spread moves go back to deal real damage

austere iron Sep 17, 2025, 4:56 AM

#

do you have this team on cart?

#

I have a Mausape on cart I can utilize.

shadow wind Sep 17, 2025, 4:56 AM

I made this team 20 minutes ago

Alright screw Dnite so much bro

#

This guy loves throwing

austere iron Sep 17, 2025, 5:00 AM

tbh. I question why stamping tantrum on the dragonite?

shadow wind Sep 17, 2025, 5:00 AM

If I have to use Blastoise to prevent my team from looking like this so be it

#

Hits Gholdengo

austere iron Sep 17, 2025, 5:02 AM

shadow wind If I have to use Blastoise to prevent my team from looking like this so be it

out of those, the staples of a rain team for this game consists of the Pelipper, Archaludon, Basculegion, and Amoonguss, the last 2 slots can be swapped for preferences tbh.

shadow wind Sep 17, 2025, 5:02 AM

okay so im saying the sneasler and indeedee can be swapped.

The problem with shell smash is haze dnite

shadow wind Sep 17, 2025, 5:09 AM

#

Dude that Dnite is blowing up

#

With Weez it has no multiscale

#

And all these greedy sets with absolutely zero bulk are getting punished

#

I do think specs is better for me though

#

I have tailwind Dnite

#

Also do I run adamant Slaking?

#

252 Atk Life Orb Slaking Double-Edge vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Dragonite: 164-192 (98.7 - 115.6%) -- 87.5% chance to OHKO

252+ Atk Life Orb Slaking Double-Edge vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Dragonite: 177-211 (106.6 - 127.1%) -- guaranteed OHKO

#

This is the only calc I'm thinking of when I say that

#

Oh wait I'm lying

#

252 Atk Life Orb Slaking High Horsepower vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Incineroar: 179-213 (88.6 - 105.4%) -- 31.3% chance to OHKO

252+ Atk Life Orb Slaking High Horsepower vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Incineroar: 198-234 (98 - 115.8%) -- 87.5% chance to OHKO

Also this one

#

I think the Dnite calc is like uber important

foggy lodge Sep 17, 2025, 5:12 AM

#

Tbh there's basically no difference between those two incin calcs because no one runs 0 def

shadow wind Sep 17, 2025, 5:12 AM

also dozo is way more un based then mausape

I mean both are Unbased but at least dozo’s counterplay is easier than Ape’s

rustic mountain Sep 17, 2025, 6:26 AM

its less the counterplay and more braindead omniboost that makes it more unbased

It didn’t change that people hated dozo, including myself

shadow wind Sep 17, 2025, 7:30 AM

#

I’d rather play a Dozo than MausApe any day

#

MausApe honestly feels so unbeatable sometimes

#

I can understand the Dozo being unbeatable sometimes too but so many mons learn haze

#

And he can be faked out and resisted

#

Ape can’t be faked out or resisted, it’s pretty stupid

#

Like my whole team needs to be worked around MausApe

#

Dozo just gets shafted by a lot more

#

Not saying he’s not also stupid and broken but at least you can damage him

molten oasis Sep 17, 2025, 7:54 AM

#

Or rest chesto

shadow wind Sep 17, 2025, 8:04 AM

I still need to hit Dengo

you should go covert cloak dozo so you don't have to worry about fake out or stat drops from moves

#

I might try that

#

It was an idea I had but lefties just seemed way too good for him

cyan smelt Sep 17, 2025, 8:26 AM

#

lefties can be a bit passive, forces you to rely on protect a bit more, and that can be encored

shadow wind Sep 17, 2025, 8:27 AM

#

It’s true

But also Dozo is a fat fish

#

That boy loves protecting and stalling stuff

cyan smelt Sep 17, 2025, 8:28 AM

true

Taunt them or wisp them

Now they don’t do anything

Tera flying is a common one though I’ll agree on that

Bad luck just happens
It sucks but like usually either there was a play you could've made earlier to avoid having it come down to luck or it's just something that happened
Good rule of thumb I follow is to never blame luck unless every other reason doesn't fit, and if you did lose to luck, oh well
Nothing you can do

#

It sucks I know, I don't like it either myself, but there's nothing you can do about it so why fixate on it

#

Also dropping 260 points implies you went on a massive loss streak which means you didn't have any self control and likely tilt queued which is just dumb too

#

Like if you're losing enough to drop 260 points then either something on your team needs to be reworked or your pacing is just off

I know it has been used in balance comps with scarf or sash but idk I think that still having Whimsicott isn't enough to really let it shine

I feel like you've told me off for saying these exact things

#

Cause there's no free wins in mons

rustic mountain Sep 18, 2025, 1:09 AM

#

i mean two things can still be true, it can lead to wins but also be pretty braindead in what ur doing. specifically for dozo i feel like ive only seen like chuppa and 1 other player seemingly push it to its limits outside just lets see how long i take to switch into the dozo strat and have fun opting into 50/50 mind games before that. the same supposed 50/50s u said u hated facing vs mausape

shadow wind Sep 18, 2025, 1:09 AM

MausApe isn't a 50/50

shadow wind Somehow this format feels more rock paper scissory than Reg G did

Because there are a lot of archetypes you may have to prep into and you cant really prep for all

#

I mean you can prep and makes plans for those archetypes

#

But its impossible to have a 50/50 or near balances MU into most things

rustic mountain Sep 18, 2025, 1:12 AM

i find mausape p easy to beat generally

#

u basically just cant let maushold stack ape up freely and u dont feed ape rage fists boosts until u can properly handle it

also i do think a team can be lazy, if u just throw 6 mons together how is that not lazy? obviously an extreme example but yea my take on dozo/giri is more by design of the mon itself. getting the omniboost is just lame imo i dont respect it and its not like i even lose to it much i just think its boring, uninspired and a terrible way to approach the game

ur framing it differently tho, im not saying picking 6 common mons is lazy im saying dozogiri specifically is lazy in relation to how the mon itself is by design. but also yea u could say thats lazy for teambuilding, doesnt mean its lazy in how you approach ur mus/ability to win games
