looking for team advice

[hushed quiver]

iron valiant isn’t normally there it’s always a froslass with destiny bond

[hushed quiver]

Doubles or singles

[gritty frost]

I mean all of them have a mixed move set its just why does gardevoir have moon blast + dazzling gleam you would be better off with psychic just in case you need to use it in a single turn and the astonish on lokix (ps : give them items

[hushed quiver]

tysm i was thinking the same with gardevoir and the other the items i just can’t decide on which one to give each of them

1. swarm lokix isnt good. if you dont wanna hunt ha dont use
2. if doubles i respect dazzling gleam+moonblast but replace future sight for psychic
3. pult isnt supposed to be mixed i think it would be a better phys attacker use will o wisp tera blast(ghost) d darts and u turn
4. vaperon with dig and water pulse isnt good
5. oricorio should not be used on a team like this i understand baton pass+trailblaze but nothing really benefits from the boost
6. if doubles use protect
7. i can help you teambuild with no ha's

[hushed quiver]

what do u mean with ha? and i will take everything you told me and apply it to my team except removing oricorio sorry man i mostly only play agaisnt friends and dancer always comes in handy with theyre sword dance mons

[urban beacon]

fair

hidden ability lokix's is called tinted lens so basically all not veyr effictive moves deal regular damage besides quad-resisted moves

[hushed quiver]

• i have a frosslass that it’s supposed to be there instead of iron valiant let me send a pic of it

[urban beacon]

this paired with first impression is why lokix is really good

[hushed quiver]

so can i just use ability patch?

[urban beacon]

wait hold up doubles or singles

[hushed quiver]

uhm mostly singles or multibattles

[urban beacon]

ok

[hushed quiver]

[hushed quiver]

[urban beacon]

[hushed quiver]

vaporeon frosslass and lokix ig

[urban beacon]

ok you want garchomp pult and oricorio then?

[hushed quiver]

gardevoir i wanna keep it for some reasons like it resisted crit super effective attacks agaisnt my friends and outspeeds most of they’re mons

[urban beacon]

srry gardevior not chomp

[hushed quiver]

yeah

btw do you have a good iv quaxly i could masuda method with my ditto to get a shiny

[urban beacon]

[hushed quiver]

[hushed quiver]

oh it alr i’ll find one

[urban beacon]

https://pokepast.es/b9e1c13232b85c82 quick team i threw together

[hushed quiver]

DAM

TYSM SO MUCH

but if you don’t mind is there any replacement for gholdengo?

[urban beacon]

sure lemme look rq

i didnt do any fancy evs or any weird tech movesets but yk only took me like 5-10 mins prob

[hushed quiver]

could i replace the gholdengo with the quaquaval

[urban beacon]

is ditto fine?

[hushed quiver]

would it be a bad switch?

[urban beacon]

oh sure they do different things but then lemme switch some other stuff too

do you specifically wanna use quaquaval?

[hushed quiver]

kinda

[urban beacon]

sure

[hushed quiver]

i like it and wanna prove to my friends he’s good bc my friends keep saying he’s trash at comp lol

[urban beacon]

all three of the starters made ou

their signature moves are all so good

[urban beacon]

btw flamethrower or fire blast

[hushed quiver]

for who?

uhm fire blast?

[urban beacon]

ok

some people like power but risk accuracy and some people like to hit 100 percent of the time for less power

[hushed quiver]

honestly percent is better imo

[urban beacon]

so that means you want flamethrower?

https://pokepast.es/7b1ed25468b636e6

new team changed a lot of stuff

actually ting lu is better tera water or smth that resists fire i put it to beat chi yu in case qua dies

https://pokepast.es/bd653b58f2500ddd new paste with those changes for conviences

[hushed quiver]

man i feel really bad for asking for this bc u are helping A LOT and i appreciate it but is there a replacement for ting-lu? i don’t really like using legendary pokémon

[urban beacon]

[urban beacon]

[hushed quiver]

azu

[hushed quiver]

i like it

[urban beacon]

oh shoot i forgot evs for azu just do max attack max hp

[hushed quiver]

specially bc i love azu

[urban beacon]

azu resists both dual stabs of chi-yu plus it isnt weak to its normally psychic and fairy tera blast other moves

[hushed quiver]

tysm this is so helpful

[urban beacon]

btw try this team on showdown if you constantly lose to anything just ping me ill help and once you feel comfortable with it just build it in-game

although actually oricorio's baton pass isnt legal...

[hushed quiver]

oh dam

[hushed quiver]

in showdown?

[urban beacon]

yeah

you can do some testing against me if you want

[hushed quiver]

it alr i’ll just build it in pokémon sv if i don’t like it at least i’ll have some good build pokemons in case i need some in the future

lol

but it seems like the perfect team i love it tysm

[urban beacon]

a ok

sure 🙂 glad to help

[hushed quiver]

now time to masuda method quaxly i got a good one

[urban beacon]

lmk how it goes and again just ping me if you are sturggling against something

dang already?

[hushed quiver]

okay!!!

[hushed quiver]

yeah lol some random kind person like you saw my message in the trading channel lol and for free

[urban beacon]

Nice (srry my wifi was being fun)

[gritty frost]

Fixing it :

1. There’s nothing wrong with Swarm lokix my friend uses it to last minute sweep so?

2. agree with you gardevoir move set needs psychic in replacing with moonblast or dazzling gleam

3. Dragapult can be mixed it has a good special attack along with a good psysical attack (a lot of people prefer special pult over phys so)

4. Dig vaporeon can be useful with toxic + dig and yes water pulse should be removed

5. Oricorio has massive potential with the amount of dance moves so it benefits from other dance moves aswell like dd or sd ..but I recommend quiver dance on oricorio instead of trailblaze

Enjoy :).

[urban beacon]

In singles yes I agree but in doubles nah both is fine for garde
Swarm login is just outclassed because login is mainly used as an early game nuke not a late game cleaner and its really fair
Pult is not usually mixed its usually ran one way
Vapereon is very slow+ just use protect
That's literally what I put for oricorio

[gritty frost]

Yea but my reasoning is Lokix is really dangerous late game since people would expect early game + lokix usually is able to take a move so swarm will activate
Pult is used as special or physical or mixed is just one of them type of Pokémon.
Vaporeon + toxic + dig + protect your opponents basically dead as dig stalls a turn (letting them take toxic damage) since you will attack last (after opponent) you can dmg them with dig the. Protect so 3 turn with basically no damage done to vaporeon + dig vaporeon isn’t expected so it will catch most people off guard

[flint zealot]

OK so this team has gotten me my best results so far. Thoughts on how I can improve it or is it VGC ready

[hushed quiver]

Tailwind and trick room on the same team doesn’t really make sense

[flint zealot]

Two different modes. If I bring tailwind I leave trick room. Trick room is only for teams that outspeed me with my own tailwind up

[hushed quiver]

Run indeedee + kingambit for trick room it would serve you way better than this as well as amoonguss in trick room too is better than toedscruel

[urban beacon]

alternative to the vaporeon situation:
you aren't running protect and because vapereon is so slow, you get outsped and one shot. or you protect first and then get one shot because you try to dig
also they can just switch

swarm lokix in the right scenerio can be good but bug offensively isnt that good and tinted lens just makes it so good

[urban beacon]

why is florges tera water
also why is arbolivia tera bug i think ground would be better

[gritty frost]

Yes I fully agree but lokix can normally badly survive a hit so swarm kicks in but I fully agree and the vaporeon was just me saying for it to be unpredictable + it’s good in certain situations

[flint zealot]

Steel not very effective on water...

[urban beacon]

i still prefer tera steel
