pleasant_banana has given 1 Gen Rep to dingis12.

[proper tree]

[lyric summit]

Is that the one where all pokemon are lvl 50

[proper tree]

yep

[lyric summit]

Yeah they are both good

[proper tree]

do you play vgc by any chance?

[lyric summit]

Absolutely not

[proper tree]

Oki

[lyric summit]

I do have another team I wish to try

Gg

[proper tree]

one sec need to switch a mon

[lyric summit]

Okay what mon

[proper tree]

cant say

okay, getting ready to search

searching

[lyric summit]

I recognise that indeedee

[proper tree]

played against it before im guessing?

[lyric summit]

Nope I just watch competitive battles a lot

[proper tree]

sounds fun, looking to get into competitive at all?

[lyric summit]

I'm thinking about it

[proper tree]

you should! its a lot of fun!

[lyric summit]

I'm just wondering on how to get started

[proper tree]

hmm, usually find a style of play or team type you like to play such as hyper offensive, speed control, balance or weather is a good play to start.

*place

perhaps rental teams?

[lyric summit]

I was thinking of trying a drizzle team but idk if I have the pokemon for it

[proper tree]

rain teams are interesting! have you finished the game?

[lyric summit]

Yup+dlc pt1+2

[proper tree]

Nice! So then you have access to all the mons

[lyric summit]

Except for starters

[proper tree]

hmmm, it your looking to build a team I might recommend a rental just to see if you like rain teams, before you waste any time or resources building it on your own or pokemon sd is good too.

Gg

[lyric summit]

Gg

[proper tree]

ah, those bbq quests huh?

[lyric summit]

Where do I get rental teams from

[lyric summit]

Yup super boring

[proper tree]

alot of youtubers will make videos about team and post the team with code in the vid.

[lyric summit]

Even world champ wolfy vgc?

[proper tree]

he might! I cant remember if he posts the codes to his teams

[proper tree]

have you tried doing them in groups?

[lyric summit]

I will check rq

[lyric summit]

Nope i have the lack of friends

[proper tree]

you could put up a board here I think but for bbq's

or reddit has a sub channel for them, I think mt server does them too once it a while

*my

[lyric summit]

Just put up a board there

[proper tree]

for what is worth competitive is fun once you get the hang of it!

I enjoy vgc

[lyric summit]

I hope so and maybe when I'm really into it we could battle again

[proper tree]

for sure, just ping! Im usually hang around in my server

*hanging

[lyric summit]

[lyric summit]

Okay

[proper tree]

Okay, ready

[lyric summit]

Okay

[proper tree]

Same code?

[lyric summit]

Code is 9999 9999

[proper tree]

Searching

[lyric summit]

Double

It not a complete team

[proper tree]

That’s alright, we can test it 👍🏻

[lyric summit]

That was a mess

[proper tree]

It’s OK testing in a team usually takes some time before it’s a winner

I could share some things I noticed about our battle if you want?

[lyric summit]

Please do

[proper tree]

OK, so starting with incinaroar, most people we use it for fake out, or parting shot, along with its ability intimidate. Fake out gives you the opportunity to stop one of my moves first, parting shot is gonna lower my special attack stats and intimidate lowers physical attack stats. Parting shot also gives you a free switch in if you have a bad matchup. A lot of people take advantage of switching him in and out to use intimidate and lower the damage their team is going to take

For the mushroom, rage powder to redirect a move away from your attacker can be a good idea, or find a way to make use of its spore and put an opponents Pokémon to sleep

For Dragonite, give it multi scale and if you use extreme speed, that thing becomes a problem to deal with also be careful if it’s teletype because you wanna avoid fairy type moves of course, I’ve seen a few people give it normal Tera and really boost extreme speed because it’s a priority move. It goes first and hits hard.

The way you have your king gambit make since I don’t really have anything to say about him he’s pretty good.

[lyric summit]

I understand however I do lack a bunch of resources but my kingambit and foonu are good with Is good to know

[proper tree]

I think some of the moves they learn on their own, but yeah you might need materials for other moves, have you done EV training at all?

[lyric summit]

What is an EV

do you mean IV

[proper tree]

Nope there is IV and EV

EV training is when you give your Pokémon vitamins to max out two of its stats, to make it pretty powerful

That’s most likely why I’m one shotting most of your Pokémon

[lyric summit]

Oh i thought those where for IVs

[proper tree]

No, you train IVs with bottle caps

[lyric summit]

That's what I did so I have a lot of vitamins

[proper tree]

If you go to the summary where you can see your Pokémon’s moves and hit “L” it will show you the EV’s

[lyric summit]

What does this mean

[proper tree]

If you really enjoy this team, I would take a look at how you wanna distribute vitamins to boost their stats even further

[proper tree]

That’s where your EVs are and you don’t see anything because you don’t have anything trained

When you do the EVs your screen will look something like this

[lyric summit]

They all have 0 EVs except for kingambit who has a little in atk

[proper tree]

Yeah, Pokémon will naturally get them from battles but what you really wanna do is take a look at what you’re using your Pokémon for and then boost EV’s based on that

And by battles, I mean with wild Pokémon

[lyric summit]

Can you reduce EVs

[proper tree]

Yes, if you play ogre oustin you get what’s called fresh start mochi and that will reduce the EV’s back to zero

Or you can use specific berries

[lyric summit]

Oh I forgot about that

[proper tree]

If you need help playing the game, because it’s cheaper than purchasing vitamins. I have a buddy who’s usually always down to play

Him and I have hundreds of mochi

[lyric summit]

I probably will

[proper tree]

I also have a buddy who will do EV training and exchange for a shiny Pokémon

[lyric summit]

I would try exchanging shiny but I only have 2 and I cought them I'm my only masterballs

[proper tree]

OK, so maybe collecting mochi would be a better way for you

[lyric summit]

Thay would

Also what do I give my flutter mane I gave it choice specs but I don't like them

[proper tree]

I think that’s the most popular item because it boosts its special attack in speed which you’re already extremely high so most people kinda just use it with moon blast or something like shadow ball and do crazy damage

I guess you could give it a focus sash if you wanted, set up once with Carmine to boost your stats and then nuke something

Or lastly, you could use booster energy with its ability and make yourself even faster by 50%

[lyric summit]

Already done sash

[proper tree]

Then I’d recommend booster or specs and force specs maybe swap it out during the battle that way you’re not locked into the same move the entire battle

[lyric summit]

I gave it booster energy

[proper tree]

Oh also a good way to get a couple shiny is the event that’s going on right now

[lyric summit]

Yeah I searched for a few no luck though

[proper tree]

You looked for the snakes?

[lyric summit]

Yup

[proper tree]

That’s odd yesterday I caught three in like 20 minutes

[lyric summit]

Stop stealing my luck

[proper tree]

Do you have the shiny charm?

[lyric summit]

I searched for 3 hours no shiny charm tho

[proper tree]

Yeah, shiny charm usually helps. I can’t remember if you just need to do one Pokédex or all three to get it.

But if you want, I can give you a hand and try to hunt them as well and trade them to you?

[lyric summit]

No thanks I would rather find them myself

[tight arch]

dingis12. has given 1 Gen Rep to pleasant_banana

[lyric summit]

So how do I summon your freind who is good at ogre ousting do I just stare a mochi and chant their name 3 times or is it different

[proper tree]

sometimes chants works, but in this case Ill make it easy

though he might not be around for awhile, he is usually on later

mind if we dm?
