Yeah, it’s been a while since Megas were allowed
Suddenly type boosting items are becoming more viable now
too bad gliscor lost dual wingbeat because i would totally run sharp beak dual wingbeat
I’m definitely running Liquid Voice Mystic Water Primarina
omg yes prim is gonna be so good
ok, sash a9, mega kang, white herb sneasler, leftovers skeledirge, black glasses gambit and soft sand gliscor
I got hit with Entrainment Mega-Hawlucha giving No Guard to Fissure Snorlax what is going on in Champions
Oh wait, since my Hydreigon set is just dark type moves and protect, I’m gonna give it Black Glasses
… I’m scared
i'm wondering if i should run fake out on sneasler because idk if acro is the play
swords dance acro is a reg h moveset
But what item would you even try to use?
whats the point of this chat vs champions chat now? lol
Is mega metagross playable
No
i would keep the white herb
waitttttt, i can run coaching sneasler next to gambit to give it an omniboost
now i'm cooking
So its not just mons that were in za allowed first reg? Thats what someone was saying
Whats the format?
Is Kingambit in Champs?
yes
So I think I know how to counter Floette
just dire claw its ass
That’s one of my counters, I need more
i'm honestly thinking of running dire claw, coaching, fake out, protect
That seems like a very good moveset
I may have repeated this so many times but.. i’m still mad i cant bring pachirisu
Why no metagross? Lmao
Did they think tough claws too strong for this reg or something?
A max base power Heavy Slam from a mega Metagross felt like too much
feels like. idk most new megas beside floetta dont feel like on the same level like the old ones
Kinda bummed had a shiny one ready to go from violet lol
Because not many of them match the creativity or the power scale of the older ones
everything on my team is shiny except for kang
I mean does that mean mega chomp og is just back on the menu
really wanted to try absol or metagross
even trade a shiny for it xD
I have like 4 shiny absol in za. I just hope mega Absol Z gets a decent ability. I don’t care if it’s not creative, I just want it to be good
just play og chomp
holy shit goated blizzard freeze in my first match
Can i get some help. I just reached great ball tier in singles and about to start it 8n doubles, but i need some help with team building. If someone can help, twould be greatly appreciated
ok first off choose your mega
woah easy 4-0 in my first game
i feel like i'm cooking with this team
sneasler is still busted guys
Is h arc actually pretty decent in a non incin format for the intimidate
My choices are lucario, emboar, garchomp, feraligatr, dragonite and gyrados
Ive only been using mega lucario up to this point, but im feeling its not as good in doubles
garchomp 100%
Even with the drop in speed?
I have their mega stones, but dont have either yet
ttar excadrill are legal
ye if u wanna use it sand team or balance is the best way to play chomp
Oh whee cool
oops i forgot that double edge don't work on gengar once kang is mega evolved
i am slaughtering people with this team
Oop
people really just be playing with their favs
Yeah, like they said, “truly skilled trainers win with their favourites”
lol that quote is bunk for vgc
Yeah I know, but still, let the people have some hope
With mega chomp, who of these should go with?:
My fav is infeenape, but hes not that good
One of my personal favourite megas
My top fav Absol is terrible, but the others are far better. Like Prim, Urshi, Incin, those are some other favourites of mine
Yes, I like the Goat of VGC
Look at this and tell me it’s not just world of light death beam
Is it bad to have 2 megas on one team?
no it's fine
tbh i would rather build a team around char with the sun and use chomp as a regular guy
but maybe that is just me
I mean, hasn’t it always been?
i mean with the mon u got i see the bottom guy that can be abused in sun and gets speedy
The animation feels like it more than in the other counterparts
chomp mega lose speed which sadly does a lot
And actually, when I was younger, I thought Dynamax Cannon was THE World Of Light laser of Pokémon
Yeah, that i was aware of
mega gard is still ass yall
Could someone please give me a trick room team to build off of?
I got this Garchomp that has a Brave Nature, could it work in Trick room because it loses speed?
Nah it’s still fine
It does good enough damage
102 speed is not the mon to use in TR.
or u could go for frostlass mega for screen and billzard plus chomp as counter for earth or charz team
Yeah
Mega Chomp has 92 speed and it has a Brave nature
With no speed EVs mind you
if u wanna play tr u wanna play with a guy under 80 in my opinion
If i got a torkoal, what mons would be good for a team with the ones i currently have
to garante u can use ur trick romm to our adavantage and not ur opp
I mean, I always have Primarina in the back
Good job
also wow it is 10:35pm, time flies when you're having fun
How coincidental, it’s 10:36 pm for me rn
idk about sun that much but what i see and played against. Charz with mega stone y (sun setting ability, chomp as balance guy, the plant posion guy with chlorophy (if u get venesuar replace it) and garados as support and intim mon
champions is good yall
Its 10:06 where i am
are you aussie too light?
Ur not wrong
You damn right I am mate
Same here
hell yeah aussies represent
I’m guessing you live in Adelaide
Ya
Yep, knew it
Is torkoal the only one with drought (not including groudon)
You are right
and charzard y
For some reason, i thought it kept solar power
base form got it
Ya
who is your goat of champions so far
If only you could bring 2 of the same Pokémon, I would summon mega char Y, then abuse Solar Power Char
i love mega kang i'mma bring it more
Yeah, sounds fun
u could play a weather setter with prankster
whimscoot for example
holy shit mega kang is a tank yall
gives ur team speed contol an supporrt
watch my gambit sucker punch ohko mega beedrill
oh u ggott moushold
Mega Manectric. I love an underdog. (See what I did there)
u could use moushold as suppor for redirction
mega manetric is a goated pick, i think vex was using it
vex was using umbreon and meowscarada
Right now this is what ive got:
ykw what's fun, when the gambit goes for the sucker punch on skeledirge and i go the will o wisp
Sounds schnasty
I actually have this double mega team built around mega Manectric, though the other mega on my team does not exist yet (in champions)
perfect we can use mousehold for it too
so u can redirct ur opps mon
the soundtrack for this game is perfect
It’s really good
So friend guard is better here than technician?
or garados for intim and coverrage
Ill add gyra next
Yeah obviously, Friend Guard’s always been the better ability
Just fixing up maus first
yep if u wanna play it as redirect mon
this garg is using stealth rock, chat what are we doing
What moveset would be ideal then. It currently has pop bomb, thief, crunch and dub edge
ngl i dont think champions is gonna last long..
ehm duh cooking 😭
for starters, its co developed by ilca..
Just don’t use that I beg you it’s not worth it for the mega slot
AND you must need online every time, theres literally no single player content
no 6v6 either
avalanche garg? wtf
Yeah I know, like I said, I always have Primarina whenever I need her
and now mega sableye, chat is is not cooking
nah man is cooking
u just dont see it
oh glimmora, i might actually lose this
Thoughts?:
about ivs sadly i am not the right person
A9?
alolan ninetales
alola nintentale
Champions literally has NO pokemon bruh 😭 They didn't even put indeedee and mega falinks in the game 💔
Of course
Theyll be there eventually
Ill try it and see what happens
focus on the weakest stat first, then whichever attack stat you want to buff, think about what you want to outspeed and dump the rest in hp
the meta is pretty new so we still all trying to figure out some stuff
holy moly they got OG rby soundtrack in here
Most comp items aren't in the game either... "eventually" more like 2+ years 😭
I maxed out its speed then did equal split between defenses
That should hold right
i'm wondering if i should switch unburden back to poison touch, i've hardly seen incin
test it
Is gyra just an offensive mon here?
Will do, just filling in the last 2 slots
moxie gyarados is probably better with hardly any intim around
wouldnt say that
vio been using moxie gyarados
gyarados here would more act as an replacement for incin
Is waterfall, eq, ice fang and d-dance good enough
and typ coverage
oh yeah go for intim gyara for sure then
I could get an incin from another game, but is it necessary?
it wouldnt be necessary here in this team because ur typ coverage but
Aight, who finishes off the team then?
do not use mega victreebell
incin is the best mon in vcg and defintly a nice guy because it function almost in every team
Wasnt planning too
he is using mega charz for sun
so getting a incin is definitly worth
Hence why only char has an item
use venu instead, give you another mega option
Nah, i got living dexes in both sword and violet
I have like 50+ training tickets
So, swap vic for vena?
yes
And get incin?
ye if u have it
gives you sleep powder option too
if u can get it ye
Or would whim be good here
whim for speed ye
idk charz gets tailwind anymore
gang should i bother with style
does it?
I probably wouldnt use zard for tailwing anyway
I will, once ive got all the mega stones
Already got all the held items
Please be careful about weather setting people still have no clue which megas mega first or second its inconsistent
Aye, ill keep that in mind
Prior to the launch of Champions, players were confused about how Mega Evolution order works. I tested for an hour with @KarthikVGC and don't feel any closer to understanding it. We did find a setup where the player order determined which Mega happened first (port priority?!?!?)
dawob is goated tbh
Which would be better, incin or whim?
Tbh, i think ive only seen like 2 people mega. But ive only done singles so far so will see
gambit is now at +3 attack and +1 def
In my team
weather war is crucial for certain double teams so
He bout to murder something
i would go for whim but that is just me because i like having speed control and weather control
he nearly murdered mega chomp from full
but yeah it depends on the team mostly
Thats what 8m inclined too aswell, but i know incin is just that good
Well i posted as a pic earlier
because u could run whim with moon beam (idk what is called in english but the fairy move), tailwind sun and helping hands
Been getting lots of help from the peeps here
its moonnblast
ah right moon beam is lunala move right xD
if you want to run encore trolling then put on whim
Yeah, thats moongeist beam
or encore
ahhhhhh
gambit is a fucking monster with coaching
he took down corv and mega chomp, by itself
Damn
defiant?
yes
If vena has chlorophyll, do i need to invest ivs in speed?
ok well i lost to typhlosion in the end
ye but idk about how many ivs tbh
Oop
well ivs dont exsist in champions
Evs sorry
ye idk how its called
if i see palafin i lead gambit sneasler with skeledirge and kangaskhan in the back
Thoughts?:
sleep powder
u wanna play with sleep powder
gambit is murdering everything
I forgot about that
earth power isnt need here in opinion because u got chomp for it^^
Fair
gambit with sneasler's help has just koed two mons
Apart from swapping e-pow for sleep, everything else look good?
it brought aggron down to 4% from full health
What im hearing is that gambit is a monster
gambit is a good incin counter and hard hitting prior move is always good
having the time of my life
i can fake out with sneasler and set up an SD, then t2 coaching and sucker punch
this is fire
sneasler and gambit goated duo
hmm im checking..
has anyone seen milotic yet?
planning to mega the venu or not? or just char for sun
Might give it the stone as an option
mega delphox is ass, don't use it
im just looking at stuff
how about King's Rock on Gyarados
you only have 1 water move for that Mystic Water
might as well go gamba with the King's Rock
Yeah, didnt know what to give him, great idea
Now, it is currently 10:52pm. Do i start now or tomorrow?
Ill give it a whirl first
what are you building with pachi
Man I've been in situations where I'd rather be able to tera than commit to a mega
i'm really feeling the parental bond nerf
need to deal with the tutorials first
i just faced a really good team in casuals, it had milotic, garchomp, a9 and mega delphox
btw you have 0 Protects
balance noice
First team i see is ttar, arcanine, drampa, whims, aggrin and sylveon
Ah, yeah
ye mega delphox levitate is pretty good with chomp earthquake
i didn't even think about that synergy, and a9 chomp is classic
i'm really thinking about switching from unburden to poison touch
now with no Fini to threaten it
i'm playing against rotom as well
Ive used eq twice and got 2 flinches off
i am addicted to mega kang
Gyra and whims solod ttar, drampa, aggron and sylveon
i think mega kang is definitly a crazy mega in this meta
dedenne can set up screens maybe ill use as a joke
only because being able to hit ghost typ with fake out before mega
Secod game, kingambit and abomasnow lead into mega char y and whims
With heat wave as well
also double fake out is hilarious ngl
how sad there is no light clay
Beedeill and hydreigon followed, but that didnt stop char n whims
This is a solid start. Thanks people
you should start seeing real people around the pokeball 2 rank
I just ran into another sun team
But they had incin, torkoal, farigiraf, meganium, chandelure and gyra
TR ufff
i'm leading with kang skeledirge then sneasler gambit against ttar exca
chandelure tho is interesting
oo idk to bring a choice scarf rotom for trolling
mega ttar ok nice
out of curiosity, if you're running Sand, would you want to mega Exca? it loses Sand Rush on mega so the sand is kinda pointless
nope
who do you mega on a sand team then?
i think ttr is betteer
Damn, this incin is using my sun against my grass types with flare blitz
sand rush is just too good
God i hate farigiraf
ye u gotta kill the first turn or the TR
would you run a secondary mega?
Mega chandelure just popped up
I do have mega vena, but there were 4 fire types
Thick fat dont save it
ah I was asking about sand team, but yea
hmm i would but that would have been mega metagross
Trick room shuts me down. Ahhhhgg
if none, then would E-Floette work
maybe mega meganium
it's basically a Flutter Mane
for typ coverage and against rain teams
ok sand might be a problem for me
dont know much about floette tbh only that it his hard. but i think just meganium helps a lot more and doesnt bother that much when get hit with a earthquake from a partner
aight noted 
and bring gliscor against sand
but i would say try both and see what is better for u
i'm not getting tilted after losses which is good
I'm running balance right now (Palafin, Incin, Sini, E-Floette, Mega Dnite, Kingambit)
i need to start bringing gliscor more
Yeah, hard TR is definitely a big counter
scary face gambit, what are they cooking?
you could tech in Torkoal if you wanna be able to play under TR
Maybe i add a slow mon to counter it?
Maybe
ok this gambit is not trained properly
ye there is only 3 ways: u can outlast TR with protect and bulky mons, change TR or abuse it too
so torkel would be a good guy for u team because it garantes u can substain ur weather
*now
and venu really wants to be speed
Ok, who would i swap for torkoal?
maybe mousehold i think if u go against TR u always be last with mousehold sadly
I just ran into the same team like yours but they had Torkoal and Dnite over Chomp and Maus
mega zard y and peli, what are they cooking?
Follow me still has priority
i feel like chomp has good synergy with garados, venus and charz too so ye
it does for sure
but just try to switch some mons and see what works for u
Aight
You can also try dropping Whims and put TW on your Zard instead
it feels really easy to predict megas
having torkal?
No, having tailwind on zard
wouldnt say that
I mean what else are you clicking outside of Heat Wave under your own sun
gambit just OHKO a mega zard y with sucker punch
but i dont think it has tailwind in champion
coaching boosted ofc
I just hit a rain team
maybe i am wrong
Dnite, sneasler, pel, incin, arch and meow
and SD, and it ohko rotom
the concept of bringing azumarill on a sun team when i have sneasler
sneasler gambit just koed azu, zard y and rotom heat
they're not giving up though
still got mega kang in the back
what's the set on Kang btw
fake out, tect, drain punch, double edge
because I can't think of megas I wanna put in rain
champs might be goated yo
Can anyone help me figure out my last Pokemon for my trick room team..
Aye, especially for those who wanted to get into competitive but couldnt sink the time into it
and the tutorials explain the basics really well
send it
welp rolled a ninetales aurora veil setter locked
Mega Gard, Sinistcha, Torkoal, Farigaraf, Incenroar
sad no light clay
Question does bot only appear at lower tier or is it possible too get matchmaking agains't them om higher tier
hmmmmmmmm lemme see what's legal gimme a sec just in a battle
is mega glimm just ass?
well it has adapabitly so
yeah i see people posting left over gliscor
gliscor is good, i might bring it into sand
How does prankster interact with dark types?
fails
Yet both tailwind and sunny day went up with 2 dark types on the field
Kingambit?
it doesn't fail if it affects your side of the field only
you could run gallade, your team lacks fighting type coverage
I thought dark types straight up stopped moves from working
three of your mons do not like dark types
you could also run horoark as fast option
good synergy with gard too because they both have hyper voice
I only see Sini and Fari for that, but I guess Garde is too frail so it counts
garg maybe?
Only 37 more mega stones to buy (37,000 bp. Gulp)
Who is horoark..
hisuian zoroark
Beat me too it
but that's adding another dark type weakness
sneasler
left field idea,how about hydrapple
problem solved
u could play the ice mega fighting guy
or araquanid for wide guard support
its pretty slow
Anyone got a mega froslass team I can use for champions
the crab hits hard
just run it with a9 and chomp and mega delphox atm
My mega is gard
u wanna play tr with a guy that doesnt benefit from it?
i wasn't expecting to enjoy champions this much
you can run two. not like you're bringing Garde every game
Same
mega crab could lowk cook on tr
Ive already spent 50k in the shop and 1 point off of reaching lv 21 in the battlepass
Is there a champions server?
Probably
can someone show me the command to see mega stats
even Golurk is good in TR
dark weakness aggain
it's budget Ursaluna
golurk cannot beat sneasler gambit coaching sorry
but ye
Now, this seems like a bad idea, but how would one build a mono steel team for doubles or singles. I know megagross would be the mega to use
metagross not legal
Hes not???
nope
@bronze quarry just saying man. its helps ur typ coverage and works with ur team
Did not even realise
sneasler gambit just deletes teams
I don’t understand any of this
hp, atk, defense
figuring out evs for sneaseler
etc
Its the stats in german i think
max speed and max attack
with 33 speed there isnt a single mon that can outspeed in tr (without any dumb stuff or prior move)
Anyways, im off to sleep. Its nearly midnight here. Night all, thanks for the help
Alr everyone gave me different answers now im more confused 😭
ty proton
torkal and farigaraf work well, i see u want mega gard to work se ye. but ur problem is ur weak to dark typ
crab solves that
and the strongest guy being a guy that can abuse intim and get atk from it and can use prior move that hit hard u want something that deals with it
kang is so good against ghost types
remind me to never mega when there's a ghost type on the field
Oh..
Can you slot h arcanine on a balance team or is it better suited for other team types
Idk she’s my fave legal mega so I just want to use her
oh shit mega gallade has inner focus?
that is no problem man but if u go against incin or the steal dark typ guy (forgot his name) this team sadly wont stand a chance
ye it doesnt have sharpness 
i learnt a harsh lesson today
so like many said before u can or should have a second mega if u cant cover all typs
Ik which is why I want to get a good fill Pokemon.. I’m also willing to swap out one of the other 5 on my team to adapt as well
why did they remove dual wingbeat from gliscor, it has no good flying coverage now
so lets say u want to play mega gard, torkal farigaraf and incen
Is sinistchea worth a slot on a balance team?
ik incin is good but i think u want a other mon that deals with king gambit
he can fake out mega gengar and isn't affected by intim
Is politoad the only legal rain setter lmao
peli
just remember that arch lost body press
basc is good
peliper is in the game good rain setter
and politoad is the funny perish song guy
mega gengar is good yo
hmm alola ninetales + sneaseler last 4..
Ive never used sinistchea though does it still have the matcha thing?
matcha gotcha? yes
u could both. on rain for arch and on sun for ursuluna
Thoughts?
looks good for me. idk about gardevoir but having a second mega is definitly not bad
maybe willo on incin
maybe use the electric damage berry for gyarados
or low kick for gambit
Incin gets Low Kick? wtf
gambit is my fav
i think but nah u dont need it forgot ur playing earthquake but ye
Is zard y the sun guy
yes
So prolly just that and not torkoal or ninetails as well dont need more than one
Does mega venu still have chlorophyll?
base venu has it
i have SO MANY OPTIONS with this team
Right on Ill just code in chi yu and specs for sun
Lmao jk
What realistically hits hard in sun that is legal
kangashkan melts hp bars
delphox?
its pretty good
scarf hisuian typhlosion
I’m questioning mega tyranitar but, allows you to reset the weather if needed I suppose
mega froslass
i've also seen basc on snow in the past
I spent a few hours trying to figure out what to use since the pool of available Pokemon in champions is pretty limited
let me jot the team first
Why is Mawile not in
was thinking about building a team
Alola tails
sneasler
mega fross?
Chomp
mega delphox?
if someone got a team for it let me know (for scarf hiusain typo)
which form?
wash
i had a troll heat rotom in SV guess ill just switch form
wtf how does drampa hit so hard
Maybe I’m cooking here
The crab is heavily invested in HP and Sp Def
gonna try it out ^^
116 atk evs and max HP and the rest spc def
Yee he’s surprisingly good
my team cooks who wants to see it
ok ooof i actually have lost to some properly good teams

i cant wait just to spam blizzard to try get freeze
Add the crab
He’s very good imo
And clusters trick room
basc is a good swift swim mon
tried a swamp too but ye gotta wait sadly
i actually never caught one yet..
I caught mine in ZA
0 speed btw
Sadly doesn’t matter anymore lmfao
Alpha and 0 speed ivs
drampa is actually good
cancels my weather, gotta watch out for it, plus it has flamethrower
normal form?
yeah
Has anyone run into this issue in Champions? I'm completely softlocked and can't progress - started a new save file and tried a different profile, same issue
well i havent caught one in za yet...
😭
what's the kangaskhan meta?
i'm using it on balance but besides that have not seen it
My friend just tried to get me to add maushold to my team 💀😭
idk to change evs for rotom. my troll set was the trick thunderwave etc
it's my check to sand
should i leave the evs on rotom for wash ?
252 spa 252 speed
nope you need more hp invest on it it's too frail
No bulk is more important
rotom is more trick/will-o-wisp support
i can switch for sure
trick scarf then hit em with the hydro pump
just figuring out hp bulk
turns out my team has way too many anti intim tools, hyper cutter, white herb sneasler, defiant and scrappy
holy shit kangaskhan really melts hp bars
never thought i'd live to see the day where it's my skeledirge against aggron lmao
Unseen fist is heavily nerfed right?
yes
urshifu EXPOSED
bold or modest for rotom?
I think half damage was enough
Modest is ok
To be able to deal damage
You can do something like 116 Sp Atk
Max hp and the rest on defenses
rotom is meant to be offensive support anyway
your heavy hitters are chomp, delphox and froslass
I need an alolan ninetales
i might have a spare for you
Crab could be fun in a snow team
it's good to be able to use skeledirge and gambit again
What Pokemon is this btw
Rn using it on rain which helps against fire types but snow is even better
crabominable
mega crabominable
shrek can vouch for it as an good guy for trick room
volt switch
will
thunderbolt
hydro
what should i replace for trick
probably switch
or i should just use as stall with leftovers
unless you want to pivot into something
Can you use two Mega Evolutions in Champions?
Yes
yes, but not all of them
u can use have two mega guy but not mega summon both of them in the same game
I mean only one per battle
might have to if weather war is afoot
Is eternal floette worth sending to champions? Or how good is it in the relative meta?
it's got fairy aura
difficult to say but it can one hit mega dragonite trought multiscale
Crab can OHKO it too
I guess I'm too early then? I guess I'll need to wait until the meta is more thouroughly researched.
Ty though
ik but the diffrence here is ur ice move are 4 effectiv and his move are only 2 time which is crazy
Yeah true
i would recommend still. because u get its mega stone
and u could still put them back if i am right
so try it out and see if it works for u ^^
I plan on it as since transfers get forcefully set to lza only if not from there originally, nothing will be irreversible (if I remember correctly)
does whims retain encore?
ye
did they nerf dire claw? haven't poisoned once
yes
ok so sun looks to be a problem
I guess I'll also mention how I just love that battle bond/ash greninja can't be transfered to champions
/s
i need to bring sneasler and gambit into sun
not worth changing it from unburden then
nah it was 50
How much for each status?
ykw, i'm not raging at losing because this is fun
just attack more
I mean you need to reposition or stall tailwind/trick room sometimes
Pressure plus disable actually good?
Pressure was pretty much always a worthless ability
But that could change
Pressure doesn’t affect protect tho
Only moves that target the pressure user
right i need to bring a shiny fennekin from go
gambit is a monster
wait which za mons are eligible for a mega stone?
i just need to nab em
did blizzard get nerfed too? the freeze chance?
can you filter by generation
only one for now
i'm gonna check after this game on serebii
sneasler gambit tag team slays
but not against sand
ok blizzard effect rate is 10% in sv, matcha gotcha is 20%, dire claw was 50%
i haven't enjoyed vgc like this in a long time
While I was initially pissed for the limited pool
I’m having fun playing
what team did you decide on and where's vex and paul
Okay cool finally have a farigaraf
what's ur team vio
I thought you saw it already
i forgot
looks good
how's the crab going for you
Trick room mode
And against trick room as well
When the enemies have their own weather I lead with crab
it's got 33 speed right
Yep
And try to set trick room
what do you do against zard
Almost the slowest guy in tr
Peli
If I build a snow team around mega frosslass/ninetales should I add a second mega..
what if they have sunny day whims
delphox and garchomp
Delphox in a snow team?
i've seen it, it has levitate so garchomp can eq next to it
I don’t have a Farig or I would use it lol
mega delphox does i mean
So garchomp and delphox in a snow team..
garchomp benefits from aurora veil
Ye
and deals with the fire and poison types that threaten a9
Snow many goal is to Set screen and Blizzard spamm
would be fine snow doesn't increase or decrease any types damage like rain and sun
To be fair, the pokemon that don't benefit from aurora veil are staggeringly low
what's a good anti froslass
gambit
Looks like it
incineroar
Oh tyranitar could work
excadrill
More options that I thought
Is primarina actually a decent option since we lost like 70 percent of other fairies lol
primarina is good, haven't seen it yet tho but you might want to consider eternal floette
Im cobbling together a few teams from home of what i have lol
i looooove skeledirge
damn, sunny day lasts 5 turns, gotta be wary of that
oh well that's what casual battles are for
with no weather extending items, I guess weather did just get a little more consistently predictable...
it's predicatable that they're gonna mega zard y or that they're going to go sunny day eruption but stopping it is another story
ok why does rotom frost look so big
almost no one used weather extending items in vgc anyways
She wasn’t really bad tho so it just makes her shine more
eternal floette is the go-to fairy i think
Dam why
fairy aura + moonblast
Hey kalos
for context, Farigiraf used Ally Switch. It seems that the game still targeted my original target (Drain Punch was meant for Farigiraf,) with the second hit, but somehow realized this shouldn't happen and refilled the lost health straight away?
IDK if this is the right place to post this, but felt that people looking to build around Kangaskhan ...
sup
since you play kang look above
i'm confused what does this mean
that's true. why was I confusing the stones with light clay
ugh teambuilding 😖
guys i just realised that kangaskhan can't flinch from rock slide due to scrappy
this mon is superpowered
me when i lie
Not super great at building teams in VGC format yet, trying to build a M Audino team as a fun off meta team. You think it would be possible to make something that isn't horendously terrible?
you were thinking of inner focus
oh i got confused mb
how did farig get hp back from drain punch?
ohhhhh i see
audino? no
if you wanna build off-meta go chimeco i think its pretty good into the field rn if you have a zardy counter
go mega gengar
I thought Chimeco was on the list of ZA megas that weren't in game yet,
Good to know they're in
i'm gonna bump the rby battle music every battle, such a bop
multi-hit moves seem to be buggy, someone posted a clip of dragapult using dragon darts and it took their own dragapult down to a sash
wonder if thats why loaded dice isnt in here
yeah i saw that clip
Is uh
do you think i should teach sneasler a dark type move
Mega dnite decent on a balance team not sure what mega to use
mega dnite seems like glue atp, it's gonna be good on most teams
yeah
Ah igy
should I teach gliscor knock off? i feel like the things it wants to hit are faster
Sneasler primarina incin mega dnite ?? and ?? Lol
and gliscor is garbage into snow
I mean it’s worse Ursaluna Bloodmoon
it cancels my weather too
i lowk think it's worth it bringing a9 into it for the moonblast
Still robbed of Drizzle….
gang i think champions may actually be peak
Im kinda bummed about alot of the missing items but the meta seems decent at a glance
Like no av is criminal lol
How is it in za but not the competetive game lmao
no safety goggles and no covert cloak either
ykw what's awesome, i can drain punch basculegions with kang
and fake them out
I just wish my man metagross was legal now my shiny is just rotting in home lmao
the only non-shiny on my team is kang
Shiny hunting kang seems like a pain too its not in the rifts so you cant donut it lol
Team rental?
i can provide a rental of my team sure
I remember seeing kang in an hs rift
no rain and no av makes arch bearable
with the red and blue battle theme it makes battles a peak experience
How much music is there?
I think zone 19 wasn't that bad
I hunted drampa and phased twice with Khang
rb, gsc, rse, frlg, dppt, hgss, b&w, x&y, oras, sm, lgpe, swsh, bdsp, sv and za battle themes
Praying for Archies Theme from ORAS
Wait what?
Oh Volo also has a good theme
zinnia's is great
Did I miss something?
volo's theme would go so hard
To add to the encore controversy, if you encore a Mon into protect the priority of protect is immediately added and it moves next. In this clip I have tailwind up and my pelipper is scarf
Quoting Adi Subramanian (@adisubra)
︀
If you encore a Pokemon into a move after it chooses a different move, it randomly selects the target. Per @NailsOU and @Doc_Dandy, if you encore it into an electric move, that move is NOT redirected by lightningrod if it picks the partner slot.
uh oh encore
i'm getting used to my team
Whats a good last mon for sneasler primarina incin mega dnite and sinisthca
My first shot at a balance team lol
Maybe a second potential mega?
mega sableye is actually kind of annoying
incin
🚨NO GUARD OHKO ALERT🚨
Step 1. Mega Hawlucha use Entrainment on your partner Pokemon
Step 2. Pokemon now has the "No Guard" Ability and can use a move like Horn Drill
Step 3. OHKO EVERYTHING
Finally gonna try to get into competive pokemon for champions and was wondering if tyranitar, excadrill, and potential mega gengar are a good start for the team building process. Was looking at Gyarados and some other flying/intimate users to fill the team but I don't know what I like/what Im doing😅
ttar and excadrill for sure
i am trying this shit xD
add rotom and garchomp
Try sheer cold for funsies
watch out for mega sableye gang, it can get annoying
How many hours before the meta becomes 10 pokemon
gets knock off too
mega gengar in my mind just helps with some of the teams weaknesses and then tyranitar can cover for gengar as well
Does uh sinistcha really need tr if all my other mons are relatively fast and I have tailwind already?
Prolly not right?
no it can be support with life dew
Someone mentioned prankster taunt is probs necessary now
But I am still considering mega tyranitar since its one of my favorites and makes him even more of a menace
Yeah I was thinking life dew plus hospitaililty could be annoying
If I get dnite back to full can multiscale trigger again?
yes
Thats kinda silly
also mega ttar def and not mega excadrill
rotom heat I was looking at if that would work
you can wisp things it's good
Mowtom with trick and scarf is pretty funny
So tyranitar (mega), excadrill, garchomp, rotom-heat, gyrados, and then maybe corviknight?
A mix of a lot of stuff rn
Only concrete members are dirge aggron and like maybe gyara
so we liking that then?
yesssss a fellow dirge believer and yes corv is good in case you want tw
perfect tahnk you for the help
Still trying to decide between sinischa and farigaraf for the support role
gambit absolutely melts hp bars
Any good counters for Mega Dragonite?
I gotta bring my shiny one in at some point
gambit
For mega crab trick room what is the moveset and EVS/nature..?
I think i might go sinischa
I feel like the answer to any counter is gambit honestly
Hell even gambit could counter a gambit
I like the macha gacha burn shit
they still parting shot sneasler every time even with gambit
Oh good the cup gets strength sap my favorite move
No one will kill aggron (he will die to a special attack immediately)
coaching sneasler next to gambit is ridiculously op
every team needs to bring something to counter ohko strats
fake out or fast taunt
so not much changes
oh hi zoomy
Looking to build an offense team, here's what I got so far for mons:
Alolan Ninetales
Mega Blast
Sneasler
Bellibolt
Looking for a 6th option cause I'm kinda drawing blanks on what to use
(This is for Singles btw)
Hi Kalos! I'm cooking!
idt mega bax is in the game
tailwind with mega floette works too because you ohko haw
Mega Frosslass
It's telegraphed
Wow the
Ice pickings are garbage
dnite is a problem
Dnite watch out- there’s a level 6 Snom with Icy Wind behind you!
Ooh, maybe, I didn't realize how fast she was 
Okay i am at a loss. Someone much smarter than me tell me if i should run sinistcha or farig for my tr/support mon
but goal is to abuse its ability to change into whim and force fake outs
is mega starmie any goood
No Triple Axel, so it goes to the gulag
i guess dragonite is real a fraud
can i work with that team?
so many delicious psychic type megas that i can destroy with gambit
Did it just go down to a fighting type move LMAO
Mega Feraligator's ability is Dragonize
Oh is mega gatr good
Carrying aura sphere on my carry just in case I see you..
Ohh
Also Thrash is
Normal Type
I can’t read Japanese and I was assuming off animation
Personally I'd swap Sash to Whims and give a Colbur Berry to Zoroark
mega kang owns
Fuck it i'm using the cup
Ok I need to know
Does Kang get Seismic Toss?
no
it gets circle throw
also stealth rocks might not be as good as you think without hdb zoomy
I miss my boots
thanks about the moves does it look good for u?
shin_juli has given 1 Gen Rep to zoomsuper
What will my volcarona do now
i'm not missing tera at all
Wasn't planning on rocks, but it makes sense, 3v3 generally doesn't care
