[foggy lodge]

with what we have rn its probably the best item for it

[steep burrow]

idk what items to put for h arcanine and prim

i thnik just shell bell prim and leftys h arcanine no?

[dense latch]

def not shell bell

healing is way too small for it to be worth it

if anything lefties is probably better for primarina

or mystic water

[steep burrow]

i was thinking that

but then throat chop makes that useless doe

unless i do a different water move

[dense latch]

do lefties then and give harc smth different

the issue is arcanine lost its two best items in band and clear amulet

so maybe something like lum berry or white herb

[high fractal]

is mega starmie any good?

as in one of the better megas, or even to be used over something like basc

[steep burrow]

i feel patrick star is good

[lost sun]

does mental herb undo throat chop

[lost sun]

don't see why it wouldn't be good

[cyan smelt]

Surely it's good against all the mega zard y running around, can't be bad against sand either

Holy shit it has huge power?

[craggy dagger]

yeah

[shadow wind]

We’ve known that since ZA

[mighty stump]

Shuca or Passho though

[dense latch]

o true

[shadow wind]

Bro still might die

[dense latch]

32 Atk Garchomp Earthquake vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Shuca Berry Arcanine-Hisui: 152-182 (89.4 - 107%) -- 43.75% chance to OHKO with intim or some bulk it'll be fine

[shadow wind]

32 Atk Garchomp 🥀🥀🥀

[dense latch]

im gonna have to get used to it being 32 rather than 252 lol

[shadow wind]

Wait that’s 252?

[dense latch]

32 is max yea

[shadow wind]

Freaky

[mighty stump]

Btw @shadow wind rmb yesteday when you were talking about 1800,000 ranking or sth

[shadow wind]

Yeah I found out it’s rating and not number ranks

[mighty stump]

When I got to Masters, thats a decimal point

Yea

Lol

[shadow wind]

Why is it 3 decimals 😭😭

[mighty stump]

I was like is there even 1.8 million people that play VGC

[shadow wind]

That’s why I was so baffled

The rating means nothing though and I think it’s a bad system

Imagine showdown but there’s no real time ladder and you only see where you placed at the end of the month

Highest I’ve seen was 2k

[mighty stump]

Eh its basically like the GC ratings

Wonder what it takes to be Champion Rank

[shadow wind]

Or even Masterball rank 3

[mighty stump]

Lol yeah

[dull ibex]

we are so back

[shadow wind]

Like I wonder if it’s even coded in the game

[dull ibex]

how is everyone liking champions

[shadow wind]

Champions is fire but I wish they explained Masterball better

[dense latch]

it's really fun

much faster than sv's battles

and im glad they're addressing the issues quickly

[shadow wind]

Same

And honestly I’m fine with the lack of items

I think it’s a good way to bring back berries

And the type chart actually matters now

You can’t beat the type chart

Not like SV

[dull ibex]

I bought the starter pack

[dense latch]

faking out something knowing it cant tera ghost :)))

and wdym i can cc gambit and have it actually do 4x damage

[shadow wind]

I mean Kang does that anyway

No more changing colours

It’s so beautiful

Yo there’s a built in “competition mode” in champions

For when you go to like tours and that

That’s pretty neat

[polar canyon]

And can't have a covert cloak

Which I do miss

[molten oasis]

[polar canyon]

Hey you're using incineroar

[craggy dagger]

mega glim 🤝

[molten oasis]

I’ll use incin if I need to

[craggy dagger]

lum berry…?

[craggy dagger]

mega glim is fun

[polar canyon]

I guess there's like no options if sitrus is taken

Maybe you could use leftovers

[craggy dagger]

adaptability goes brrrr

[craggy dagger]

i was thinking maybe chople or shuca

a resistance berry instead

[polar canyon]

The dreaded charcoal incineroar

[molten oasis]

Sitrus is on uh

Sini

[molten oasis]

Uhm, shuca I guess?

[chrome knot]

dunnooo just a fun trippy & hiking

[molten oasis]

https://pokepast.es/3f50a7d29b5b8397 updated

[cyan smelt]

I've never seen what mega glim can do because I've always ohko it before it can move, same with mega starmie

[bronze quarry]

Is the game still down

[cyan smelt]

Nope

[mental mason]

Entered the Warm up challenge with this team. Curious to see how well I'll do as it'll be the first time I've done a tourney. Probably not well as I'm like 20-10(?) With it, but I can always try.

[lost sun]

what did the maintenance fix

[lost sun]

thx

guessing this shows when u log in or in the news section

[foggy lodge]

The game is playable now wujuu

[mighty stump]

Are we able to join the warm-up challenge mid way

For some reason I thought the 10th was not today

[mental mason]

April 8th 2026 02:00 UTC - April 13th 2025 01:59 UTC``` looks like it?

[craggy dagger]

fair enough

[polar canyon]

Fuming bc I lost to a crit

[lost sun]

happens

does mega starmie really get like +140 stats or was that just for lza

[polar canyon]

Lza

Instead it gets 100 base and huge power

[lost sun]

ok good

[polar canyon]

Still crazy strong

Really wish it had a fighting move

[lost sun]

196 Def EVs in charizard y survives liquidation in the sun 100%

[dense latch]

i thankfully didnt encounter any of the bugs in my seven games

[gentle crag]

eriksp has given 1 Gen Rep to maxihd

[dense latch]

i really hope i can get to masterball undefeated

[dull ibex]

How's this spread

[dense latch]

idk how big the boost is but it definitely exists

[agile robin]

Who has 0 IV rotom, gollet, toxapex, applin, klefki, and torkoal for trade? Getting really bad luck trying to catch one rn

[dense latch]

what's the item and team

[lost sun]

do u think the 196 Def EVs would be worth it to survive liquidation mega starmy and rockslides from the chomp and drill

[dull ibex]

Standard sun and lefties

[dense latch]

i feel like most of the time you'd be better off just running sash timid

idk if it's bulky enough to take advantage of lefties

[polar canyon]

That shit did 70% I think it was max max lol

[dense latch]

for what mon

[lost sun]

in mega charizard y I should've said

[lost sun]

damn

[dense latch]

im just running max max

[lost sun]

same

[dense latch]

196 def is overkill

252 timid is a must imo bc of how crowded that 100ish speed tier is

[lost sun]

ye

[dense latch]

you could drop some spatk for bulk if you think it's worth but i havent done much calcing yet

[lost sun]

like -11% of Ur spa but u do survive some relatively common attacks that people won't expect it to

[dense latch]

i've just been spamming eq and heat wave and probably wont stop until i face stronger players lol

[lost sun]

I made my venusaur super toxic

quite bulky with acid spray left overs and giga drain and just fast enough to outspeed scarfchomp

[agile robin]

I'll take that as a no then

[polar canyon]

Found my first mega hawlucha gimmick team in ultra 2, just immediately one shot before it got to use entrainment

This isn't that bad lol

[dull ibex]

Can't run sash

[dense latch]

that's why i asked for the team

what's holding it

[dull ibex]

whim

This but with sylveon over torkoal

[molten oasis]

https://pokepast.es/5cffb078779c1620

https://pokepast.es/3f50a7d29b5b8397
which one between the two of these do you guys think looks better?

[rare drift]

People do not understand Armour tail😭

I know theres alot of new players rn but the amount of times that a priority has been shut down and they keep trying is crazy

[lost sun]

I saw some guy try to fake out when I had farig out twice in the same game

[rare drift]

Litterally what happened to me then they brought a garchomp and tried to extreme speed

[dense latch]

i like the double mega team

[molten oasis]

Bet

[dense latch]

did you start with glimm as a solo mega?

also it might be worth it to run timid glimm so you outspeed timid zard y

tho you can kinda deal with it with the rest of the team

[molten oasis]

No I started with mega Phox

But that core gets wrecked by whimsi zard sun

[dense latch]

o ok i was about to ask what made you add the second mega

makes sense

have u played any ttar teams yet

[molten oasis]

No

Had Tauros for a while to help, but dropped it for Glimm

Chomp Phox is my sand mu rn

I’ve debated soft sand chomp instead of scarf

Almost dropped gambit but I can’t really take on basc without it

And gambit Delphox goes hard

[cyan smelt]

People don't understand scrappy either, I keep faking out mega froslasses and basculegions

[lost sun]

gambits called the king for a reason

[dense latch]

it might just be me being paranoid about sand mus lol i had to add sneasler to my team so it was playable

[lost sun]

what did u swap for sneasler

I'm hardly bringing incin tbh

[dense latch]

gambit

[lost sun]

gambit has clutched so much for me

[dense latch]

the original team creator also agreed it felt like deadweight

i wasnt bringing it too much

[lost sun]

did u have a SD set

[dense latch]

and with the rise of mega floette i think sneasler comes in clutch

yes

[lost sun]

odd

for me it's working great

[dense latch]

not saying it isnt a great mon

[bold geode]

Soft Sand go hard

4-0 in a tournament rn with Mega Chandelure

[dense latch]

but i think sneasler patches up a few trickier matchups

[lost sun]

I've not played against sand much tbh

with the team

[sterile marten]

anyone able and willing to participate in a private battle for my mission completion?

[polar canyon]

Losing to perish trap because of 2 90 acc misses must have been the worst experience of my life

Straight up did everything right but there goes like a whole fucking hour of my life watching protects

[wild stream]

can you guys see opp nicknames?

[red willow]

Yes

[wild stream]

what's the best one so far?

[next dust]

I hate this happened to you but as a perish user I love this so much lmao

[polar canyon]

I think I'd get banned if I voiced my opinion on that

[cyan smelt]

I was raging about it when I was playing last night too dw

[polar canyon]

Not all bad

Ultra 1 now

Homestretch

[lost sun]

just played against someone who bought both charizard y and politoed

[cyan smelt]

Hmmm must be new

[lost sun]

they couldn't take out 1 of my mons so it won't get old

[carmine trench]

My worst experience is bringing a match down to an Incin mirror 1v1. Managed to get their’s to -2 & was gonna try to attrition them out before their last Flare Blitz crit gave them the win.

[torpid hearth]

I think i love scarf samurott

[polar canyon]

What do you mean there's 4 ranks in master ball too

Anyways I'm in master ball now

[shadow wind]

What’s your rating?

[polar canyon]

1.8m

I don't know how rating works yet

[mighty stump]

Its not million

Its 1800~

the last 3 digits are decimals

[bold geode]

5-0 to 5-2 like an absolute chud

[torpid hearth]

Y'know i kinda didn't realize how much i hate singles until now

[polar canyon]

Weird way to display the number

Well I can confirm losing doesn't drop your rank lol

[mighty stump]

It doesn’t but your rating lowers

[torpid hearth]

Aigeslash why must you do this

[mighty stump]

@foggy lodge i got a calc’d Floette set

[rustic mountain]

how could u

[polar canyon]

Going to rank 4 of master ball and the wheel bar still being there on the victory menu when you rank up confused me

I thought there might have been another climb to master ball 1 before reaching ratings

[rustic mountain]

is mball 4 the highest u can go atm?

it just ranks ppl in that?

[polar canyon]

Yeah seems like it

Maybe I'll go to 3 if I win

[rustic mountain]

i havent seen anybody b higher

just different rankings

[mighty stump]

Iveseen people up to 1900s still MR 3

[rustic mountain]

gotcha

[mighty stump]

We don’t jnow the thresholds atm

[rustic mountain]

right

[dense latch]

my hand was forced by ttar im innocent :(

[mighty stump]

@bold geode how is chandelure atm

[rustic mountain]

hahah im mostly messing, i think sneasler w/o tera + dire claw nerf is totally fine

i thought even w/o that it was still not as crazy as ppl thought

[mighty stump]

HAHA BRO MEGA CHANDELURE STILL DIES TO ZARD IN SUN

[rustic mountain]

[mighty stump]

chudzard

Oh I may hae missed the answer but like is it too late to sign up for the tournmaent

[dense latch]

i feel like im playing less unethical ball with the dire claw nerf

i havent gotten a proc yet it's just there to deal with floette and cc gambit ttar and incin

[rustic mountain]

yea its a solid mon

[dense latch]

there's a lot of options tho

i've seen milotic in similar teams

[lost sun]

I saw one mega floette and took it out in 1 turn with acid spray +heatwave

even set up calm mind so mustve had 0 bulk

[rustic mountain]

yea definitely, other then the rain mirrors im having fun. only lost to 1 tho and i figured out the mu (i think)

[lost sun]

what team u using

[rustic mountain]

basc/peli/mamo/dnite/incin/rotom mow

[lost sun]

ah

[dense latch]

this is how i learn mamo's in the game lol

[rustic mountain]

mamos been cool

[dense latch]

cool picks there and with rotom mow

[rustic mountain]

gta try out a few new things haha

[lost sun]

would u lead mow and dnite into rain mirrors

[rustic mountain]

tho ive used both b4

[dense latch]

rn it's zard/venu/chomp/gardy/incin/sneasler

i really wanna try mega floette out tho that looks insane

[dull ibex]

I need to get a hisuian typhlosion im stuck with johto form

[rustic mountain]

depends on the team y?

[lost sun]

just thinking

[rustic mountain]

wasnt a lead i was considering b4 theorizing mus but now def something i might do

[mighty stump]

https://x.com/vgccorner/status/2042293847749792116?s=46&t=NSIK9f9OViHUJnm37QZcEQ

Brady Smith - VGC Corner (@vgccorner)

Been loving champions.

This got me to master ball pretty easily.

Team was designed to get off Floette sweeps consistently.

Maushold is good into slower teams.

Talon lead when you can sweep the game in Tailwind turns.

Corvi Chomp is good into sand.

Glimmora is okay.

X · Apr 9, 2026, 5:29 PM

Also mine atm

Sylveon eats Iron Head/Dire Claw ezpz

[rustic mountain]

w/ friend guard?

[mighty stump]

just raw

lol

[rustic mountain]

oh wow lol

[mighty stump]

2nd bump SpA then bulk

[rustic mountain]

ahh gotcha

[mighty stump]

with friend guard you turn stupid fat

i think iron head is like a 1/8 roll

[rustic mountain]

howve u been likin dnite mega

[mighty stump]

depressing damage but typing is too good to pass up

Placeholder for Mench tbh

[rustic mountain]

essentially my thoughts so far

[mighty stump]

I had a politoed live HH Draco

and i was like

[rustic mountain]

[mighty stump]

ok

[lost sun]

damn

[rustic mountain]

yea ive had a few instances im like damn really?

[mighty stump]

Its ok into Zard Y

but thats abt it

idk if its worth just doing Dragon Pulse for consistent chip rather than one urst

[rustic mountain]

hurricane is nice for rain teams but even still like outside se targets the damage just feels like meh

[mighty stump]

Yea

and mind you mind is max max modest

so like

bro

HAHA

[rustic mountain]

mine is max modest as well

[mighty stump]

I think Froslass is stupid good though

Snow + FG you live quite a bit actually

[rustic mountain]

gambit seems like a good partner for it

cover each other decently well defensively

[mighty stump]

I tend to bring Dnite/Froslas/Sneasler/Maushold

[rustic mountain]

i wanna use mega floette but i wanna see how far i can go w/ mega dnite b4 running into any potential roadblocks

[mighty stump]

I think Kingambit’s optimal set would be to run

2 dark STAB + fighting for the mirror tbh

[rustic mountain]

[lost sun]

low kick 1 shots guaranteed

[rustic mountain]

makes sense, u think no steel move is fine?

[mighty stump]

Yeah I never had an issue

[lost sun]

I don't have a steel move on mine and it's doing great

[mighty stump]

I think ironically no Dark move on Incin hurts

but flare blitz has been fine

[wild knot]

witnessing your friends getting into vgc in real time is so beautiful. this is what its all about man.

X · Apr 10, 2026, 1:06 AM

[mighty stump]

Like tbh just launch the hardhitting moves into resists

[rustic mountain]

for gambit ur saying?

[mighty stump]

Yeah

[torpid hearth]

Love bright powder so much rn

[rustic mountain]

black glasses def gna give u a nice boost

+2 even more if u can get it

[mighty stump]

Yeah

The +2 KOs Zard

[rustic mountain]

sucker im assuming

[mighty stump]

and I have a lot of moments where I forced the switch do I could just cover slots

yeah

and in niche scenarios if someone runs Bulldoze Chomp

i basically won off that

[rustic mountain]

haha nice

i had a cool win off sucker punch mind games vs a kang last night

[cyan smelt]

I need to just fake out + sd sucker punch zard

[mighty stump]

what was the mindgame

Btw i keep over respecting players and they don’t click Protect and I’m like bruh

I forget we have a new influx of players

[lost sun]

I played against a venusaur with earthquake earlier

[mighty stump]

My Godlax team

[rustic mountain]

basculegion not dying to sucker so i protected 4 turns and attacked w/ my dnite at -4 then hit em w/ a wave crash on the 5th turn as they suckered into my dnite at 90 hp and somehow lived wave crash brought em to 3hp then had a guaranteed win w/ double attacking

[mighty stump]

Medicham the goat tbh

[rustic mountain]

and they suckered the previous turn b4 my basc came in so they had limited sucker pp to work w/

after the 4 protects

[mighty stump]

damn

8pp poggers

[rustic mountain]

it was weird i honestly should not have won that game for countless reasons but cool to somehow pull off an obscure win

[lost sun]

"there's no way he's protecting again"x3

[rustic mountain]

i mean yea i was like honestly if imma go for it i should do it here

if they get it fine

cuz they couldve just been like if u keep protecting ill ko ur dnite, then click protect and normal move a cppl times, stall out ur remaining protect pp if u dont make that call either time and then thats just it

[lost sun]

getting reads right is so satisfying

[mighty stump]

mfw I predict then get RNG’d is devastating

[lost sun]

my rng is so bad

[rustic mountain]

it is but id rather not get those kinda reads right, id rather be in a way better position cause i didnt botch the mid game

[mighty stump]

yeah

[rustic mountain]

like im glad i got it but i looked at it like how do i not wind up here

[lost sun]

I missed 2 heatwaves got confused by hurricane twice and had 2 self hits in one game

[lost sun]

more annoying part was the game was still super close after this it came down to an incin 1v1

but mine had half hp so I lost

[rustic mountain]

oof

[mighty stump]

I think Fighting coverage is one of the best things here

atm

I need to go make a corvi team

[dull ibex]

Copying a second plus sun at a large tournament

[torpid hearth]

I love trick room so much

[dull ibex]

Master ball tier is hard

[cyan smelt]

Waitttt, the drampas i've seen, have they been running berserk or cloud nine because if it's berserk I can bring a9

[bold geode]

Deadass Sun is the one MU where the base goes hard in the paint

[mighty stump]

check the stats

no one uses drampa too

LOL

[bold geode]

Like I'll actually use base a lot against Sun because no Charizard run Scorching Sands and they never click Solar into you so your Chandy becomes untouchable against that mon

It becomes entirely dependent on the side slot to kill Chandelure

[cyan smelt]

Must be berserk then

[mighty stump]

inb4 ancient power zard from the mirror

[cyan smelt]

Rinya sun flashbacks

[bold geode]

Fuck actually I've lost to that

No joke

[red willow]

Is rotom wash good again

[mighty stump]

its solid enough

[red willow]

Thinking of slotting it on a balance team

[bold geode]

Low power for a mega format, Rotom is usually good in lower power formats especially

[red willow]

Does it have decent water stab outside of pump yet? Lol

[mighty stump]

nope

[red willow]

Whack

Give my boi scald

[tropic minnow]

Is every trick room setter running mental herb?

[mighty stump]

its either that or like Colbur Berry imo

[olive sonnet]

I figured out how to stop Nintendo Piracy in like 5 minutes! Anyone want to know the details?

I just figured out that this isn’t general lol 😂 MB

[sudden remnant]

[dull ibex]

Hi tofu!

I'm getting my shit kicked in master ball

Holy God

[polar canyon]

As soon as I got to master ball teams stopped being the standard stuff

Maybe low rating master ball is like the low ladder of high ladder

I'm losing because it's no longer predictable

[red willow]

Im getting tired of weather wars might go back to balance lol

[polar canyon]

I like weather wars because I win them

I don't like seeing other rain

[dull ibex]

Update I'm sticking with the sun team

But I'm dropping rock slide on chomp

[polar canyon]

I started competitive in gen 8 and thought I liked tera

[mighty stump]

lol

[polar canyon]

Turns out I just dislike dynamax more

This is more fun

[dull ibex]

What rank are you?

[polar canyon]

I thought I'd try to get master ball before a small tournament at a con this sunday

I did but now that master ball is kicking my ass I'm not quite as confident

No idea what the skill level will be there as it's not an official one

[mighty stump]

master ball 3

[dull ibex]

I'm master ball 4

[mighty stump]

what is even mball 4

[dull ibex]

I've won once

A single time

[mighty stump]

i thought it started at 3

[polar canyon]

I won twice one was a forfeit

[dull ibex]

In about 5-6 games

[mighty stump]

i might be mball 4 then lol

im whaever you start at cuz I barely played after hitting mball

[dull ibex]

Should I change my team?

[polar canyon]

Maybe you just kicked ass the whole way to master ball and they put you straight into 3

[mighty stump]

age old wuestion

[mighty stump]

hell no im rusty

hahah

[dull ibex]

I don't think my team is the probelm?

[polar canyon]

Id still be scared of rusty tofu

[mighty stump]

I wish I could see how many games we’ve played

[dull ibex]

I would be more comfortable with a more hyper offense tailwind team like I had for reg B in sv thougg

[mighty stump]

then run Sun or NPlot Froslass tbh

[dull ibex]

I am running sun

[polar canyon]

I almost lost to a nasty plot delphox once

[dull ibex]

I keep changing it though

[mighty stump]

i think sun is so easy tho - zard y, whims, scarfchomp, sash venu

then just like

toss kingambit and sneasler on there and gg

LOL

[dull ibex]

I don't know what to lead into what is part of my probelm

[polar canyon]

The amount of kingambit I'm facing spiked when I entered master

[polar canyon]

Now I'm realizing the team is not as prepared for it as I'd like and my only semi reliable out is managing to land a hyper beam

[mighty stump]

what is Garde and Raichu doing there

[molten oasis]

My goat

[dull ibex]

I changed out for scarf on garde

[mighty stump]

honestly you can also run dual setter

Yawn/Helping Hand Torkoal

[dull ibex]

Raichu was to solve my electric weakness which admittedly isn't coming up anymore, and garde is too help my dragon match up

[molten oasis]

There’s like, Rotom

And Archaludon ig

[mighty stump]

but you have Chomp/Whimsi

[dull ibex]

Fair

[molten oasis]

Or manectric if anyone uses that

[sudden remnant]

do i see 2 of my absolute goats

[polar canyon]

I actually really like hyper beam sylveon so far it's kind of like sacrificing your momentum to get rid of a massive problem

[sudden remnant]

ME? HELLO?

[dull ibex]

I could replace raichu atp

[mighty stump]

But you gain momentum if its a key KO

[molten oasis]

1/1 million (minimum)

[sudden remnant]

Manectric no.1 fan right here chat (possibly the only)

[polar canyon]

And not many of the archaludon I'm facing have been sturdy

[dull ibex]

"HO sun:

Zard Y is a must right now
Hisuian Typhlosion is very solid, scarf eruption generally
Whimsicott for speed control, has manual sun if needed
Garchomp is solid for dealing with rock types (and sand teams)
Venusaur (sash) for sleep powder disruption and grass type damage, decent into fairies as well (not that you struggle per say but poison damage is useful)

Sixth is a little loose as of rn

Sinistcha can be decent but you're stacking grass types on the fire boosting weather

Torkoal can be useful for a secondary weather setter but is less useful for hyper offense styles (slow)

Raichu can protect your zard y from electric types and hit waters for super effective

Sneasler is another anti-rock mon that's also generally solid on HO"

[molten oasis]

Guys anything glimmora should be outspeeding naturally? Currently doing calcs

[dull ibex]

I was following this advice

[sudden remnant]

tldr

[spiral zealot]

Mega or Normal?

[molten oasis]

Mega

[polar canyon]

I don't think I like my harc that much rn as I never want to bring it against rain but also don't want to bring it if I see gambit

[sudden remnant]

https://tenor.com/view/mega-glimmora-glimmora-legends-za-pokemon-gem-gif-419339077670277890

[polar canyon]

Or scarf weatherless basc

[spiral zealot]

Mega Glimmora has a single higher point of speed than either Charizard Mega

[dull ibex]

Tofu what does kingambit do for this team?

[molten oasis]

I’m not interested in speed creeping zard, it already walls it

And I have speed control and am looking for bulk

[polar canyon]

Maybe outspeed excadrill in tailwind

[spiral zealot]

Mega Glim has base speed 101 so it outspeeds everything with 100 which is like Palafin, Volcarona, Mega Gardevoir, Typhlosion, Mega Kangaskhan,

[mighty stump]

I found Scarf Typhlosion pretty underwhelming without redirection support tbh

[molten oasis]

Well, walls, if it’s not running scorching sands

[dull ibex]

Thank God you said that

[gentle crag]

redstonejesus has given 1 Gen Rep to woodtofu

[polar canyon]

Thoughts?

[dull ibex]

I didn't want to keep searching for a hisui one

[mighty stump]

Scares Incin away and you can put it into range after a booster sucker and probably like an overheat or sth

[polar canyon]

It's what brought me to master ball but it's still kinda wip

I thought howl would be fun but only actually used it one time

[molten oasis]

Rn I outspeed sneasler at -1

[dull ibex]

Lemme send my whole team

[molten oasis]

And take it out with icy wind+ep

[mighty stump]

Ig only thing to note is that Typhlosion runs scarf, Palafin has Prio Jet Punch, Volcarona is almost always Quiver Dance

[molten oasis]

Only thing worth outspeeding I think is zard y and, that’s it

[mighty stump]

imo Scarfchomp with Bulldoze also provides speed control and is a sideslot w Zard Y

[molten oasis]

Naturally, can’t think of anything else

[mighty stump]

the 100-102 speed tier and 120s are so cramped

[polar canyon]

Does sneasler run adamant bc I swear I calcd this rotom now to live a dire claw

[mighty stump]

Sometimes

[molten oasis]

True it’s awful

And super annoying

[polar canyon]

Well every time my rotom got hit by a sneasler it was adamant then

I'm gonna start expecting most to be

[tropic minnow]

What item are most Whimsicott running?

[polar canyon]

Sash

[mighty stump]

Sash

[tropic minnow]

[molten oasis]

Sash

[tropic minnow]

Thx

[polar canyon]

Dont expect anything else

[molten oasis]

No cloak

So, sash

[torpid hearth]

Is mega clef any good

[tropic minnow]

Scarf

[polar canyon]

Probably not

[molten oasis]

Eeeehhhhh

[polar canyon]

I mean no one's using it so no one can confirm that it's bad

[molten oasis]

it’s not floette so, probably not. Not the worst but using a mega slot for a support doesn’t feel great

[torpid hearth]

Damn, might just use primarina on my tr team since i need a fairy type anyway

[tropic minnow]

Trick room sweeper
#Trust

[molten oasis]

Not even half bad on it’s own but needs the mega, probably

[torpid hearth]

If i had floette i would def use it

[polar canyon]

Check mega

[polar canyon]

• has fairy aura

[torpid hearth]

I would run lorb clef like i used to back in the olden days when that still existed

But noooo

[cyan smelt]

Mega chimeco might be a good partner for chomp + deals with the fairies and ice types that chomp hates

[tropic minnow]

Did it get levitate I didn’t check

[cyan smelt]

Yes

[tropic minnow]

Cool

[torpid hearth]

Oh sick

[mighty stump]

Bronzong at home

[torpid hearth]

Damn

[polar canyon]

I mean it'll eat hyper voice and gleam but it's not saving the chomp is it

[cyan smelt]

True

[tropic minnow]

Steel beam

[torpid hearth]

Outclassed by the bell?

[molten oasis]

Couldn’t even get budget iron crown

[torpid hearth]

I wish the bell was in the game

[tropic minnow]

gyro ball

[mighty stump]

basically jut got more SpA and costs you your Mega lol

[molten oasis]

Because levitate, they said no to every truly potential mega psyspamer that isn’t pure psychic

[polar canyon]

67 hp

[cyan smelt]

Mega delphox is better for chomp

[mighty stump]

75/110/120 isnt much better than 67/116/116

especially considering Bronzong can hold an item - Ig Chimeco can be more specially offensive

[tropic minnow]

Calm mind

[mighty stump]

But like unless you have fighting coverage its free Kingambit food

[molten oasis]

There’s so many better option for that

[polar canyon]

I wish it just had a new offensive ability or something

[mighty stump]

What slot? Cause you’re starving fro slots already

[molten oasis]

cough cough floette

[tropic minnow]

Calm mind
Focus blast
Flash cannon
Protect

Looking like a singles mon

[molten oasis]

Focus miss

Just run psychic or smth

[torpid hearth]

Good ol focus miss

[tropic minnow]

Tera blast

[mighty stump]

if it’s single I have no opinion, I don’t play

[molten oasis]

Tera isn’t legal

That coverage is uh, smth

[mighty stump]

i mean

[molten oasis]

It’s not bad

[tropic minnow]

Signal beam 🗣️

[mighty stump]

Where the hell is Flash Cannon

[mighty stump]

Bait

[foggy lodge]

whaaat can i see

[molten oasis]

WHAT DO YOU MEAN NO FLASH CANNON

[molten oasis]

[polar canyon]

Maybe outdated list

[mighty stump]

it’s kinda rudimentary tbh but like

[dull ibex]

@mighty stump

[molten oasis]

I unfortunately always pick the suboptimal Mon, oh well

[dull ibex]

Any changes you'd make

[mighty stump]

Honestly maybe more Sash Venu and figure sth else of Whimsi

like Fairy Feather

[molten oasis]

Lum berry chomp kinda cool

[foggy lodge]

Babiri is good for Archaludon

[torpid hearth]

Oh ew venazard

[dull ibex]

Anything else?

[polar canyon]

I hate getting hit by sleep from a sash venu

[mighty stump]

nah try that

[dull ibex]

All my stats are max max with 4 in both defenses

So do I bring zard every game?

[molten oasis]

Thinking I’m gonna play and build this https://pokepast.es/87bbe875d04ee1f5

[cyan smelt]

I am glad I abandoned coaching on sneasler

[mighty stump]

i mean ur mega is ur sweeper

[molten oasis]

Maybe I could go cm phox

[torpid hearth]

Is there anything with rage powder

[molten oasis]

Sini

[cyan smelt]

Sinis

[dull ibex]

Just double checking

[polar canyon]

Volc sinistcha vivillon

[torpid hearth]

Good to know

[molten oasis]

The one format where sini’s meta because we don’t have amoonguss

[cyan smelt]

Rage powder stonks up without goggles

[sudden remnant]

i wanna try moxieboosted’s mega delphox mega gyarados team

[torpid hearth]

Thought venusaur had it for some reason

[polar canyon]

There's also maushold with follow me

[dull ibex]

Alright some notes I want torkoal here for the tr match up and I might replace sunny day on whim with encore

[cyan smelt]

Oh yeah vex didn't wolfey post a team

[molten oasis]

What’s rocking tr?

Like what do tr teams even look like?

[polar canyon]

Farigiraf like usual

[molten oasis]

Mega, drampa stuff?

[cyan smelt]

Crab

[sudden remnant]

did he?

[polar canyon]

Most of what I see is tr mode for sun teams

[wild knot]

yeah i won a match with a real person and i got errored did i still win?

[molten oasis]

It’s crab? Ok

[torpid hearth]

I'm using aggron and it's working kinda well

[sudden remnant]

the wallllll

[cyan smelt]

Oh you said he was posting daily vids

[sudden remnant]

i havent checked what todays video was im still winding down from work 🫩

[torpid hearth]

Sinistcha is working well for tr, but i may switch to something else to set tr

[cyan smelt]

Farig

[sudden remnant]

mimikyu

[torpid hearth]

Yeah that's what i thought

[cyan smelt]

Spiritomb (lol)

[sudden remnant]

mimikyu

[torpid hearth]

Have one trained up and ready to go

Y'know that may not be the worst idea lol

[wild knot]

is there a champions damage calc avalible now?

[sudden remnant]

immune to fake out, will always live a hit cuz of disguise and can shadow sneak in the tr to still chip away

[sudden remnant]

minor spelling mistake

[torpid hearth]

Use the free sub to set up tr and then just shadow sneak away

[cyan smelt]

And can wisp

[torpid hearth]

Yeah

[dull ibex]

Trick room has been set on me multiple times

[wild knot]

dies in minecraft

[sudden remnant]

and can be an endgame sweeper when the tr ends with like swords dance and play rough

[dull ibex]

And manual weather never once come up

[mighty stump]

yea

Nerd of Now

https://nerd-of-now.github.io/NCP-VGC-Damage-Calculator/

[cyan smelt]

I want to try and make spiritomb work but it's always felt pretty passive

[sudden remnant]

tr wisp shadow sneak swords dance

[wild knot]

yipee

[sudden remnant]

at +2 shadow sneak will still hurt a lot of pokemon

[torpid hearth]

Oh i like that

Yeah i'll try it out and see how it does

[sudden remnant]

i must spread the niche pick agenda

[cyan smelt]

I should at least import a spiritomb to see what moves it gets

[sudden remnant]

umbreon manectric mimikyu and meowscarada all must help me show people the light

https://tenor.com/view/ascending-energy-galaxy-gif-17739196

[cyan smelt]

The light of ruin?

[sudden remnant]

i can tell you for sure meowscarada would not wanna see that

[wild knot]

im still erroring maybe no more battling today

[cyan smelt]

Idt dark types want to see that

[sudden remnant]

umbreon eats it trust

[torpid hearth]

Should i just run adamant, or would brave be a good idea

[cyan smelt]

I'm gonna import a shalpha spiritomb to see what moves it gets

[dire sky]

sorry if this question has been asked a lot but do pokemon retain their evs when you move them from a mainline series game to champions?

[cyan smelt]

Yes

[sudden remnant]

should be fine with brave

[mighty stump]

yes

[sudden remnant]

affirmative

[dire sky]

thats good to know. thank you!!

[sudden remnant]

brave looks pretty good since your only actual attack has prio anyways

[torpid hearth]

Now the big question is do i abandon the wall for like scizor or ttar

[sudden remnant]

use what you like gang

dont let this fucked meta stop you

[torpid hearth]

Yeah that's the plan

[sudden remnant]

strong pokemon, weak pokemon… you all know the line

[cyan smelt]

That karen line is ragebait atp

[sudden remnant]

my team is literally just my favorites in a team together

and it cooks

[mighty stump]

Prio still cares about Speed though - especially against other slow but prio users

[sudden remnant]

its a mimikyu it doesnt care about most other priority moves except maybe a +2 gambit sucker punch

[cyan smelt]

Vex i feel like every time i see your team it changes

[sudden remnant]

i keep updating moves

to accommodate for mus i struggle into

like youll notice a lot of them have protect now

cuz of incin and sneasler

oh and sand in general i hate sand

[cyan smelt]

Do u struggle into mega froslass

[sudden remnant]

no lmao

[cyan smelt]

What about sun

[mighty stump]

Unironically most Mega Froslass players can’t use it well kekw

[sudden remnant]

mega manectric thunderbolt can ohko mega zard

[cyan smelt]

The ones i met didn't even protect in front of kang

People really don't be understanding how scrappy works

[molten oasis]

Lass is on my list to try

Lass is shit into gambit and zard tho which is rough

[sudden remnant]

also to deal with froslass garde has mystical fire meow has dark stab umbreon has foul play manectric has ft zoroark has bitter malice and dark pulse and mikyukyu has shadow sneak all 6 of my mons can hit it for super effective damage

[wild knot]

yeah i had my alola ninetales just encore to SD and burnt first

[molten oasis]

A9 my beloved

https://tenor.com/view/alolan-ninetales-gif-19906489

https://tenor.com/view/alolan-vulpix-pikachu-vulpix-popplio-play-gif-10634606651457993021

[molten oasis]

Shouldn’t in theory harc be solid rn?

[sudden remnant]

theory and reality are not the same

[molten oasis]

It’s good into zard whimsi venu stuff

[molten oasis]

I’m aware I said in theory for a reason

[cyan smelt]

not good into sand or rain

[molten oasis]

Incin isn’t either

[sudden remnant]

it gets the sand boost at least

idk if that matters for it whatsoever

[wild knot]

didnt get any freezes yet from blizard XD

[cyan smelt]

i really need to clean up my home boxes

[sudden remnant]

chat do i play some ranked matches or do some more duolingo

[wild knot]

i cant play anymore the game keeps erroring on me

ill do more later

[sudden remnant]

try restarting your router maybe

[wild knot]

i have other games to play

[sudden remnant]

https://tenor.com/view/pokemon-klara-isle-of-armor-sword-and-shield-gif-19119059

[sudden remnant]

kalos what type specialist do you think id be

[cyan smelt]

hmmmmmmmmm

poison

[sudden remnant]

why would i be a poison trainer im not toxic 🙁

[torpid hearth]

Y'know now that it's a bit easier to test stuff out in game i feel like i'm getting a little better

[sudden remnant]

most specialists follow their types literally

[cyan smelt]

hmmm maybe water

[torpid hearth]

I think i am def gonna try out mega scizor on this tr team

[sudden remnant]

i think youd be a fire specialist you have the passion to do well but get heated easily

[cyan smelt]

i put way too much pressure on myself

and am brutal on myself

[sudden remnant]

fire.

[cyan smelt]

yeah i could see myself being blaine

[sudden remnant]

i think myself id be an electric specialist

[cyan smelt]

what personality types do they have

[sudden remnant]

of all the electric gym leaders are, in a word, eccentric

[torpid hearth]

I might go with grass

[wild knot]

i cant pick

[sudden remnant]

eccentric but dedicated to what they do

[polar canyon]

Gee I wonder which I would have

[torpid hearth]

Ice clearly

[cyan smelt]

i feel like you need to explain the personality types of each type

[polar canyon]

I think personality wise maybe dark

[sudden remnant]

😨

[polar canyon]

Not to be the edgy cornball most dark types aren't even evil

[sudden remnant]

do you consider yourself an underhanded person?

they arent “evil” but arent against underhanded measures

[polar canyon]

Hard to say because it's relative

I'm not against breaking rules if the risk of consequences is low

[sudden remnant]

im sure anyone here whos spoken to me will know i am both eccentric and dedicated to my craft of niche pokemon

[dull ibex]

Alright what do I need on a rain team

[sudden remnant]

[dull ibex]

Suns not working out

[sudden remnant]

try out mega chesnaught trust

[polar canyon]

Peli archa maybe dnite

[dull ibex]

And basc

Just need to fill the last two

[polar canyon]

I actually really like prankster rain setting because it completely negates zard y if you catch it mega evolving

[dull ibex]

I hear rain is also easy so I'm going to try rain

[sudden remnant]

rain is strong

[spiral zealot]

you could try Peli, Arch, Basc, Sneasler, Sinistcha, Mega Gardevoir

[polar canyon]

It can be tough finding your playstyle

I think my favorite way of playing is just maneuvering the opponent with crippling and control

Fishing for openings kinda deal

Love stuff like sableye, whimsicott, redirection

Wisp struggle bug

[dull ibex]

I love clicking big buttons

[torpid hearth]

Man i wish mawile was in the game rn

[dull ibex]

Why mega garde

[cyan smelt]

tofu is definitely dragon personality type

[sudden remnant]

big pp damage

[polar canyon]

I like making my plan simply be to ruin their plan

[torpid hearth]

Aggron is fun to squish shit but god mega mawile is fun as hell to use

[sudden remnant]

SAME I WANT MY MAWILE

[wild knot]

blZ

[sudden remnant]

WHERE IS MY BABY

[cyan smelt]

u get tinkaton and u will like it

[spiral zealot]

pixilate hyper voice + psychic

[sudden remnant]

i also have klefki but its not the same

[sudden remnant]

you forgot to mention big pp damage

[torpid hearth]

Oh god hyper voice

[wild knot]

AAAAAAAAA

[cyan smelt]

lot of special nukes running around

[wild knot]

and that flower

[cyan smelt]

that thing is a menace

[polar canyon]

I managed to win most times I faced it

Sometimes barely

[torpid hearth]

How do rentals work in this game

[graceful scaffold]

kalos is there anyone who i should go to to learn about eating dirt

[polar canyon]

What

[wild knot]

like team or ranch mons?

rental team you have to have that pokemon in your box somewhere

[torpid hearth]

Nvm my question has been answered

[wild knot]

oh..

[polar canyon]

At least it's not that hard to have them somewhere if you have mainline games to transfer from

[cyan smelt]

bwahacough

[wild knot]

yummy dirt

[polar canyon]

Annoying that they basically made rentals harder to use but at least it's still better than training teams from scratch in mainline games with all of ev training mints bottle caps breeding and stuff

[cyan smelt]

basically u use ttar, excadrill, corviknight, rotom wash, garchomp and win

[wild knot]

i think i need to some how deal with entrainment shenagins

[graceful scaffold]

im using ttar and chomp and corv, but not rlly winning lol

[cyan smelt]

well do you have a team paste, maybe we can figure out what's going wrong

[polar canyon]

Just kill either hawlucha or the side thing before it can move

[graceful scaffold]

wait how do u paste? can u paste in champignon

[polar canyon]

Or prankster taunt

[wild knot]

blizzard spam yes

[cyan smelt]

take a screenshot of your team

[graceful scaffold]

oh lol

[cyan smelt]

what are partners to hawlucha so i know what to look for

[wild knot]

any mon that can have either fissure, horn drill or sheer cold

[cyan smelt]

the ice cream, something with horn drill?

[polar canyon]

Excadrill snorlax vanilluxe kingambit all coincidentally weak to close combat

[cyan smelt]

thank fuck for that

[polar canyon]

But if you see hawlucha expect the gimmick

[wild knot]

mr.rime has sheer cold

[polar canyon]

There's no real other point in using hawlucha

[cyan smelt]

i can sucker punch that mr rime

or fake out + sucker

Abomasnow, Vanilluxe, Excadrill, Krookodile, Mudsdale, Rhyperior, Garganacl, Snorlax, Torkoal, and Kingambit is the full list of viable ones

[polar canyon]

I actually lost to a runerigus next to hawlucha because I thought "why tf are they giving entrainment to that does it get fissure too" then just got baited by protect on lucha and my way to ohko it wisped

Then they switched in the actual fissure pokemon

[cyan smelt]

if i see a wisper i am using the full force of gambit

[polar canyon]

The full force of a burnt gambit is not as much as you might like

[cyan smelt]

most ghost types have wisp don't they so i just hit it full force t1

or fake it out with kang and sd

[sharp cobalt]

Rime!

[cyan smelt]

do u like mr rime

[polar canyon]

I think I'll start a new team from scratch tomorrow

Want to have options for the irl thing sunday so I can weigh which of my teams turns out better

[daring jungle]

Aight, finally got home from work. Time to try and climb

[polar canyon]

What rank did you stop at?

[daring jungle]

Made it to ultra 3, went down to 4, then back to 3

[mighty stump]

I didn’t even jnow you could go down

[wild knot]

did you face bots?

[daring jungle]

That was my question

Or they are just that good

[cyan smelt]

really wish we could save replays

[daring jungle]

Yeah

Would help alot with asking for feedback

[wild knot]

ye

[cyan smelt]

would help with sharing bugs too

[graceful scaffold]

@cyan smelt

[cyan smelt]

anti synergy having dnite there, sand breaks multiscale

scarf chomp instead of bright powder, you want rough skin not sand veil

idt milotic should have king's rock, meme item

[wild knot]

just need to figure out what move for chomp to change protect with

for choice

[graceful scaffold]

dnite has innard focus and chomp has rough skin and is special lol coz im scared of archduladon

[cyan smelt]

hmmmm i feel like you could go a strong fighting type here

[sudden remnant]

this guy has a special place in hell his umbreon has toxic wish protect

[cyan smelt]

holy singles moveset batman

[sudden remnant]

i mean it is a 1v1

my umbre vs theirs

[mighty stump]

If you run Special Chomp you may win against Archa but lose against others

[sudden remnant]

and im losing cuz of toxic stall

[cyan smelt]

meme how about mega aggron on your team, don't eq next to it but you can destroy arch with body press

[sudden remnant]

kalos i think i might be cooked

i dont wanna forfeit though so im gonna spam moonlight

[cyan smelt]

other options i'd consider are maybe mega medicham, mega gallade, or perhaps aegislash

[sudden remnant]

mega medicham is certainly a choice

gallade could be good tho

[graceful scaffold]

hmm i havent got all my shinies ready or recruted much lol

[cyan smelt]

u could also use lycanroc like bwahacough, i think it learns CC

[wild knot]

figuring out what move to replace protect for chomp for choice scarf
Dragon Claw
EQ
Rock Slide
Protect (replace)

[sudden remnant]

poison jab

[cyan smelt]

wait i got it

kommo-o with aura sphere

[graceful scaffold]

will c what i can do lol

[sudden remnant]

aura sphere clangorous scales clangorous soul flash canon sitrus berry 😀

[wild knot]

poison jab?

[cyan smelt]

now we're cooking, get a fake out on there to guarantee setup

[sudden remnant]

poison jab

to hit fairies

[wild knot]

i already have sneaseler

[sudden remnant]

still

give the chomp the jab of poison

[cyan smelt]

does mega glimm earth power guarantee a KO on arch

[sudden remnant]

🤷‍♂️

[wild knot]

arch bulky or not?

[cyan smelt]

150 sp attack + adaptability

surely they're making arch specially bulky to compensate for no AV

[cyan smelt]

damn, no to mega glimm then

how about sylveon

[spiral zealot]

i looked it up earlier its a 3hko if the arch is bulky

from hyper voice

[cyan smelt]

how about mega floette

[spiral zealot]

what fairy move does Floette run

[molten oasis]

Glimm does damage with rock and poison moves

[cyan smelt]

i think it's usually calm mind, dazzling gleam, moonblast, protect

[molten oasis]

Earth power isn’t gonna be all that powerful

[spiral zealot]

power gem doesnt do shit to arch tho

[molten oasis]

???

Why are we playing Glimm into an Archaludon

[graceful scaffold]

im probably losing no matter what lol most ppl have actually played pokemon battles b4 i havent

[cyan smelt]

i'd honestly say mega gallade is your best option

all the other options are too slow or don't do enough

[molten oasis]

What are you looking for?

[cyan smelt]

something to deal with arch

waittt, another option is mega lopunny

[spiral zealot]

is there a reason we can't just use CC sneasler

[cyan smelt]

because chomp likes to eq

[molten oasis]

There’s this thing called, stomping tantrum

[cyan smelt]

does nothing into arch

[molten oasis]

Earthquake also does nothing into arch by that standard

[cyan smelt]

mega lopunny is another option

[spiral zealot]

conkeldurr also bonks arch

[molten oasis]

Eq and stomping tantrum are the effectively same BP because of the spread reduction

[hollow latch]

U want something that Hits special

[graceful scaffold]

i just dont like losing to arch lol

but also i should have one special mon right?

[molten oasis]

Cm floette, Glimm does ok damage to it

[hollow latch]

What Team are u playing?

[molten oasis]

Wha?

[cyan smelt]

ideally you want 2 special, 2 support and 2 physical

[graceful scaffold]

oooo

[molten oasis]

Personally I like 3 physical 3 special attackers

But that’s good too

[graceful scaffold]

i like incin and ttar and chomp, theyre my fav pokemons

[wild knot]

i won again and error

[spiral zealot]

pretty much any fire type or fighting type bonks archaludon
hawlucha, charizard, etc

[hollow latch]

Okey ur playing Sand i see

[cyan smelt]

it's on sand

[hollow latch]

Ye Sand most of the time has only phy guy

[molten oasis]

Phox if you have weather control

Strong neutrals are good too

[hollow latch]

Mega delphox would be ur guy

[wild knot]

oh well the game says i won 4 ranked battles guess it counted

[hollow latch]

Levi near chomp has good syngergy

[wild knot]

still no freezes on blzard lmao

[molten oasis]

And you can play snow or sand with it

[graceful scaffold]

who is levi?

[hollow latch]

Did they reduce it too?

[molten oasis]

Levitate

[wild knot]

still 10%

[graceful scaffold]

OH

HAHHAHA

[hollow latch]

Thanks only got freezed 1 time and didnt last more then 1 turn lol

[gentle crag]

shin_juli has given 1 Gen Rep to dubiousdelphine

[wild knot]

lol

i had a match with toxic spikes well sneasler shook it off

[hollow latch]

So if u have it it would work vell in ur Sand team

Covers ur weakness for example fighting and Grass and could be ur second mega beside ttr

[graceful scaffold]

ill see if i have a shiny one somewhere

[hollow latch]

Gotta be from za for the stone ^^

[graceful scaffold]

true hmm

hey kalos do u wanna give me a shiny fox

[spiral zealot]

i mean you could pull one from ZA to get the stone and then just use the stone with your shiny thats not from ZA right

[cyan smelt]

only one i have is from ZA
