So far everything gameplay relevant is also purchasable with VP. Only E-Floette require ZA transfer.

picked up champions on my phone earlier in the week, anything looking especially egregious here?
last played VGC three years ago running a team around sharpness gallade+indeedee - given that I already had a maushold in pokemon home I've been trying a similar idea for my first team here. gallade is too slow to sweep though with redirection and friend guard plus the option of aurora veil for damage mitigation I can usually get him to one-shot or severely dent a lot of threats, but whimisicott-staraptor is a lead that eats it alive. while zoroark is a fun lead option, a lot of times I'd like to disguise him as incineroar and it's a tell if intimidate doesn't activate. been fun getting to masterball and learning reg m-b threats but I think I'll work on another core soon
>>
why do some battles give way more VP
>>
Maybe the most annoying thing about archaludon is how electro shot takes 30 seconds to play the animation
>>
>>59399474
if you don't lose Pokemon i guess. Or how fast you take the other guy out
>>
>>59399454
a few things, does maushold outspeed staraptor when mega'd or the other fast attackers? If not, you might be better off redistributing the speed to defenses since you'll be getting charm/super fang off after it no matter what then. maybe you want to consider trickroom on gallade over possibly protect as it would allow you to still have speed control without putting your mega at risk without attacking for one turn and allows you to of course reverse trick room. if zoroark works for you, great, but 3/5 of your guys will give away the trick if they're used as an illusion assuming the opponent isn't retarded
>>
>>59399406
The best flexes are old game titles (the Triumphant, the Living Legend, the Model for Paintings, etc) or a fitting personality mark. The Rank Master is generally not great unless it's something ubiquitous like Incineroar.
>>
Can these meta jerks just take it seriously and progress to Master already so I can get to Master too and live in peace
>>
>>59399503
no i need to finish getting my ribbons before i dab on the ladder
>>
>>59399499
I have a shiny sableye with the original "the Champion" and a metagross with "the Treasured Memory" :D
>>
10% chance to lower special attack but my moonblast sure does it so kingambit can get that defiant boost
>>
Post your team RIGHT fucking now
>>
Its crazy how much worse archaludon rain became with grimmsnarl
>>
Why the fuck does my goat typhlosion not have a mega yet? He has crazy potential with eruption and we’re stuck with the shitty gay pedo ass hisuian version
>>
>>59399389
Zard x is fucking GARBAGE what the fuck did they smoke at gamecucks? Literally got outspeed as a MEGA with a dd and one shot by fucking garchomp unboosted dragon claw, they need to fucking uner buff this shitty fucking pokemon and double his atk speed def and everything, fucking shit mega while y oneshots all the fucking mons thats retarded as fuck

>>59399765
I mean, Garchomp had to use an item to be faster than your Zard. Just because it wasn't a mega doesn't mean it's suddenly not a pseudo legendary.
>>
>>59399703
>>59399765
Just because you get Dragon Dance up, that doesn't suddenly remove your type weaknesses, especially when Garchomp's whole thing is being slightly faster than base 100s and you can reasonably expect it to be scarfed anyway.
It's not the game's fault you didn't get rid of your mon's counters before committing to a DD sweep.

>trick room in front of whimscott and forgot to switch
>he encores my trick room, but also attack that slot in case I switch

That was the right play, but fate was on my side
>>
>>59399585
How so? I only see grimm with mega bird
>>
Can be hard to fit but Taunt is a very anti-meta move, hate sinistcha, fagiraf and whimsicott? have a dedicated taunt user (preferably non-prankster cause dark types, specifically sableye)
>>
>>59399813
It sets up screens then parting shots you so you have to get through dual screen archaludon and its a slow parting shot so you cant sunny day the rain away unless you telegraph a torkoal and bring it in same turn
>>
>Annihilape the Teeny
i hate it, back to the ranch you go
>>
Spend more time team building and theorycrafting than playing award
>>59399827
Honestly, half the time it feels like people make mistakes in the end game by getting too cute with status moves rather than just attacking. Taunt is great to start, but I'm not going to taunt in a 2v2 most of the time so they fuck up.
>>
>>59399827
>taunt
Then they somehow have Mental Herb
>>
>>59399492
yeah maushold hits 179, zoroark/jolly mega staraptor 178, alola ninetales 177. the +2 from charm is great when it works, but after seeing all the tricks whimiscott can pull with prankster I am thinking tickle might be better as I can then turn my mega staraptor into a bulky roost set. I played that on ladder and couldn't do much after it started boosting.
when I was running my team in 2023 gallade had trick room, you make a good point it might be worth going back to that as zoroark is my only taunt option and in closed team sheet I never know what the hell has mental herb anyways.
>>
>>59399838
Can't you just take off the title in customization?
>>
>>59399846
Yeah, hate when that happens, players who use mental herb must've had ptsd from whim putting their giraffe in Encore loopvhell, probably better off having scizor use bug bite to take away possible Berry into a dark type move with its teammate
>>
>>59399848
I don't play staraptor, but it seems like you wouldn't want to use maus unless it was for redirection a lot of the time. That's what it's got on whimsicott and clef is somewhere in between yet worse than both.

Umbreon is mostly a BSS choice though it definitely gains an infamy with some CC
>>
Man sneasler and basculegion really make me want to stop playing this game.
>hey does your team have a good fighting resist?
>doesn't matter, dire claw will hit sleep anyway!
>>
Keeping Ychu in base against archaludon to set up with a water type is hilarious

Umbreon is a shitty cartoon animal that only zoophiles like.

Downloaded the game yesterday, hadn't played competitively since gen 4 and managed to hit master in a day for singles. Blowing shit up with Mega Medicham was really neat, shame Mega Staraptor and Basculegion are so prevalent and unfun to deal with.

I have never engaged with VGC or any doubles meta, is there a resource of meta combos anywhere for me to use as a starting point? I'd be fine just trying shit randomly on the lower ranks, but I can't google abilities and base stats fast enough for doubles like I could with singles, too many things to consider

I wanted torkoal for today's free pull but it gave me Armarouge my beloved.

Do I replace Chomp with Arma bros? Or do I just wait for the koal... also running out of VP and slots lol
>>
>>59399827
Taunt Aero has been a godsend against the Giraffe when it doesn't eat a Fake Out.
>>
>>59400010
>Do I replace Chomp with Arma bros?
I find armarouge usually works better with support, preferably psychic terrain. I think i rocked meowstic + rouge for the psy spam.
Chomp on the other hand is more independent, though i see you use its mega under trick room.
>Or do I just wait for the koal... also running out of VP and slots lol
dont you have that japanese sinistcha which i assume is traded, just trade for a torkoal. Also you cant tell me you actually are planning to use that sinistea or musharna
>>
armorouge is gonna slap when you can weak armor + weak armor flip turn scarf palafin -> indeedee
>>
>>59400016
Thanks anon yea i'll just wait a bit for torkoal i'm out of vp anyway
>dont you have that japanese sinistcha which i assume is traded, just trade for a torkoal
I got it from another anon from the previous thread. If I still dont get him then i'll just put up another pidove in GTS lol
>Also you cant tell me you actually are planning to use that sinistea or musharna
No kidding i got floored by a baton pass teacup lead in singles once, and walled by a musharna lead in doubles yesterday. Biggest mistake was experimenting with quick claw ditto lmao
>>
>>59400032
I want mega alakazam overwhelming opponents with expanding force
>>
Ceruledge laughs at mega staraptor
>>
I highly suggest you guys write notes so you don't do stuff like use priority moves when giraffe or tsareena is on the field and use protect when your sweeper is on low health when an incineroar enters the field
>>
>>59400037
>If I still dont get him then i'll just put up another pidove in GTS lol

Thanks to the anon that gave me a greninja the other day I managed to make this meme snowscape team
Greninja is great, nobody runs herb in their trick room teams so I got a decent amount of instaquits
The weather match ups are about 50/50 but manually flip turning with Basc into Vanilluxe is nice
So far the team dies to steel and has a pretty annoying time with Venusaur and Wide guard but those two are workable
Managed to stay in master ball 2, if someone want to try it W84F3ULE50

>>59400159
why sitrus instead of chople berry on gambit.
And if you have trouble with steel types (archaludon, opposing kingambit) why not tech in a low kick on your own gambit?

I feel gambit needs the extra hp for certain matchups and the ice types can handle every relevant fighting type except Sneasler which Talonflame handles
Archaludon si actually not that great against the team, double blizzard kills it even with spdef investment but you're right, enemy gambit is an issue, might drop kowtow

Experimenting isn't paying off and I've run out of vp so I'm going back to these guys but with the matcha and spatk starmie this time. Hopefully this still works against rain and sandstorm teams even without my ditto cheese but I'm worried about snow teams, don't have a lot of experience fighting those. Will definitely struggle against TR teams so I'm thinking of teaching matcha TR to counter. I don't see the value of rage powder because everyone defaults to targeting them anyway. Might also help with guys that start off with their own whimsi.
>>
>>59400179
Keeping it in baseform to switch into archaludon for an easy azumarill belly drum and proceding to mega evolve it to Focus Blast with +1 SpA, also kills mega staraptors on sight if they aren't under tailwind

Yeah, but you can only beat the game once per file. Meaning this guy was either a campaignfag trying out comp or someone who went through the effort of beating the game with those mons just for the titles and was still super bad anyway.

i see the vision. he was thinking you'd switch because both threaten an ohko with flare blitz and brave bird + tsarneena is now -1 attack. assuming he respected the ability, the switch would be the best play, probably. similar to how people will "cheat" by running sap sipper giraffe and don't get fake out'd since its assumed to be armor tail.

yeah 99% of the time you'd be better off online just playing the obvious move. you could just protect the tsareena and be safe even if he flare blitz'd and assuming he cc'd or throat chopped the slowbro (worst case, I guess), you can still regen the damage if you aren't gambling on a quickdraw meme kill

H-zoroark seems right up your alley then.
Has good coverage, bamboozle the opponent, really fast.

>lowering speed vs a milotic
idk mang, i don't think that's the move if you aren't just instantly murdering it with solar beam, then you're dead to lightning bolt anyways. a ninetales is probably a better pick, you keep the water SE damage with freeze dry, can aurora veil before you mega, its fast, and doesn't double up on a tbolt weakness if that's your go to opening. icy wind actually has a huge distribution, like even toxapex and basculegion get it or zoroark lol

I used to run H Zoroark in singles but never got to make him work in doubles even with sash bec i got matched with unironic galaxybrains that just 2 shot him every time. I spent too much on really bad comps over the past days
>>
>>59400491
wait, why not have whimsicott with tailwind/taunt as your charizard partner? you don't need to lower their speed if you're increasing yours, you already have a whimsicott, and moonblast will hit the dragons that resist heat wave/weather ball, and solar beam? i assume that's your arch rain setter, but that doesn't seem like you'd want to take that unless it's vs rain.
additionally, since you have zard-y, you might be able to cheese not running prankster and having chlorophyll so you can bypass things like armor tail or the dark-type prankster protection.

Swords dance into bullet punch
>>
>>59400500
I was trying to kill rotom first but then heat wave missed both of em. Then the solar beam only did about 60% of damage before it recovered. Maybe running timid zard this whole time was a bad idea
>>
>>59400509
Now that you mention it i never realized that thing could learn chlorophyll lol. I was just concerned with weather control. But i guess that could be covered with whimsi also having sunny day in case the opp does a switcheroo. But it opens up too many variables especially if they go on the hyper offensive
>>
>>59400509
>wait, why not have whimsicot
>>59400299
>>
>>59400517
I can't really comment on zard builds since it's kind of the antithesis to how I'm used to playing, with a mega in the back and trying to set up the board so they can sweep average CSR player. seems like you're trying to make the square peg of starmie fit in the round hole of a support role, though. starmie was good in other gens because it has a good matchup vs fire, water, and some other stuff like gengar while being fast. a sash lets it hit twice, or should at minimum let it get a hit off, so throwing off an ice beam, two thunderbolts, or surf (but you wouldn't do that unless charizard was dying or protecting anyways). like the best thing I could see it doing for you is icy wind -> surf or ice beam vs a chomp/aero lead, and that kind of feels like you'd be better off with something that can protect your mega better in that spot.
like i said before, toxapex gets icy wind to slow turn 1 and then wide guard for rockslide, and alolan ninetales outspeeds a lot of stuff and has blizzard, freeze dry, and aurora veil to provide support before you get sun up.
although none of that really matters that much if you're at the whims of the pokemon slots and how much vp you have.

I think that's heavy ball. If you really want one, they're easy to get in ZA and can be RNG'd pretty easily in SV. Same for SwSh, but I've never tried it there so don't know how hard it is.
>>
>>59400527
I'll consider using tox that way, seems reasonable. A.ninetales i used to run but everytime there's always a guy with either a weather move or a setter at the back so either blizzard just misses both or veil just flat out fails. So i've got some really complicated feelings about that thing

Thank god that Parental Bond still exists, but doesn’t it say a lot that the meta has mostly stayed the same since the update because of the busted ass Gen 9 DLC mons (yes Sneasler and Basulegion are in there too). Probably holding out a fool’s hope but I do wonder if ILCA will look at usage stats and decide to nuke the top 10 mons in both singles and doubles similar to what GF did that one time in SwSh.

Stuff like Basculegion, Archaludon and Kingambit are pretty high value trade fodder that aren't too difficult to get if you have something of decent value like trade evo Pokemon.

(Non-Alola) Raichu doesn't get any aility passing moves on its own, does it? That'd make it worse than the Entrainment Mega Hawlucha build Wolfey because your OHKO mon needs to be the one who transfers the ability instead of attacking straight in turn 1.

I didn't care about Incin even when it was on 60%+ of teams.

This is a very Incin hostile meta where its primary niche is on protect the queen Floette teams. Not as splashaboe as it used to be.

Your post is so retarded. They're called balance teams.
Having TR doesn't make a TR team, it's situational. Having both TW and TR support is a hallmark of balance teams.
On the other hand actual TR teams have fucking sucked since day 1 of champions.
If "having TR" is the only qualification for what constitutes a TR team then they all are. No one is going to agree with your retarded assessment and no one is running a Zard slower than Adamant Basc.

The cat can fuck up both swampert and pelipper if you give it thunder punch.
Any strong special attacker that can outspeed archa is nice to have, zard Y being the most obvious and boring one, overheat in sun is a OHK.

What gives? Gengar doesn't get No Guard or anything, and neither of those moves are always-hit moves.

You can always get TW up T2 and if they send in fake out then you just set it up T3 and enjoy massive staggered TW.

If HOME accepts it, then it's legal

Tsareena is also just good.
You can get it to 1hko uninvested Basc with Trop Kick, survive Adamant +32 Dire Claw, and outspeed Aerodactyl under TW.
Adamant 22HP, 18Atk, 17 Def, 9Spe
It was my mvp during the first season.

>>59401625
The question was more whether Home would accept it in the first place.

Generally they don't give a shit about bugs when they're still functional unless it duplicates a pokemon. That said, older games have more checks to move things up than home seems to have right now as home will reset moves when moving to newer games and swsh had you reset moves before you could play online.
Hacking in unobtainable stuff, like getting a hall of origin arceus is still blocked from moving to bank, I think, but that might be gen 4->5 instead. Shiny manaphy is legal to take to home, same as that one cap pikachu, and they're both bugs/mistakes (pikachu doesn't even have a shiny palette)

Meowsca instadies to sash pelipper sadly so it's not suited for the rain matchup. Which special attackers get a reliable ohko on max spdef archaludon besides megas? Life orb kommo-o with aura sphere can just barely do it but again, it dies to hurricane.

It survives an Adamant +32 150bp last respects 63% of the time and from the scarfed Jolly set(way more common early on) it's every time.
Sneasler has fallen off a lot, but in season 1 it was very prominent, so that was the calc. It also survived things like dual wingbeat from sashed Aero.
Don't let the board state become Tsareena v Basc.

I ran Sitrus in season 1, but you might do wide lens this season for triple axel.

I tried to make Hoge for doubles, but it just doesn't seem feasible. Even less feasible than Hoge is by default.
The Minimize+Instruct is actually great and results in Sandaconda almost never being hit, but
>even with minimum HP, everything being set to level 50 means it's actually kind of hard to always trigger the Focus Sash, and Endeavor is useless if you're not super low HP
Endure helps with this, but leaves me with no attacks.
>in addition to the problem Hoge always had of ghost-types being immune to Endeavor, there are three types who are immune to Sandstorm
So many matches end in a dozen turns where Sandaconda can't be killed, but he can't do anything to the enemy either because his HP isn't low enough for Endeavor or the enemy is ghost, ground, rock, or steel.

I'm going to try switching out Endure for Sand Tomb, but given how useless Endeavor has been, it would probably be better to give up on the Hoge strat entirely and just swap it for Substitute.
>>
>>59402064
why is it 50 anyways and not 100

>assumed my opponent would try to kill my mon (they outspeed and oneshot) so I click priority move to get value

>>59401377
They are too one dimensional, I won yesterday cause they switched the rain back on with pelipper allowing +6 azumarill to OHKO sinistcha, i was barely paying too much attention that game and almost lost from a couple dumb plays but overwhelmed another rain team 4-0 with base raichu switching into electro shot while azu set up and umbreon put things to sleep
>>
>>59402079
While that would be better than Endure for getting his HP low, it still wouldn't fix the issue of four types being immune to the strat, leaving him with no way to even kill them.
At least Hoge only had to worry about ice and ghost.
>>
>tfw you select 2 megas and can't back out
>>
>>59401594
it depends on the type of glitch; I've moved some RNG manip and ace mons with no issues, as long as the critical stuff looks correct.

iirc you have to go through pal park/poke transfer/poke transporter, and those have some anti-glitch checks, and even then, if you manage to get stuff to Home, once you move them to a newer game, you're forced to delete moves to use them online
>>
>>59402138
>once you move them to a newer game, you're forced to delete moves to use them online
Does Champions check for whether a pokemon can legally know all the moves it has? I know it checks for whether those moves are in Champions at all, and forces you to change them if they're not.
>>
>>59402146
>Does Champions check for whether a pokemon can legally know all the moves it has?
afaik no, because that's Poke Transporter/Bank/Home's job

Considering you have to get through at least one of those to get your mon to Champions, yeah

Nothing like switching in a Lightningrod mon into an Electro Shot, also Mold Breaker gets past Stamina so your mega gyarados can set up while manectric uses Howl or snarl. Azumarill is great for this too paired with base raichu who can transform into its mega and focus blast bridgimon
