Finished day 3 with a 10-5 with an overall 29-16 record.
The only two things I regret was not running coppa berry like I originally planned on my ludicolo and replace seed bomb with dive to set up swift swim.
The other being sharpedo, the idea was to use it as an anti relicanth set with...
GG I believe I fought you twice, I was the one with the weird sharpedo.
It was an anti relicanth set, Taunt to stop rocks, bite to break sturdy and to fish for flinches and close combat to finish it off, I didn't take endure into account though
9-6 on day 2.
Had some awesome matches, faced a suicide lead quilfish that caught me off guard. Head smash missing constantly caused me to lose some matches.
I've been enjoying using some unconventional sets. I'm in it for fun.
Good luck to everyone else participating.
Went 10-5 on day one. Been using a meme weakness policy physical ludicolo, caught a few sap sipper azumarill off guard. I ev'd it to survive max Airstream from adamant gyarados when dynamax'd. Most gyarados I've run into have been running life orb, was expecting more wacan berry.
I wanted to try out Golem until I found out I cannot get sucker punch atm. Which other stealth rock users can reliably set up rocks and put up some decent offense in the process?
I'm thinking of using a rest talk snorlax to go along with my slowbro, what nature is everyone running on snorlax? I assume adamant for damage output, do careful or impish have any warrant at all over adamant?
cant say edit: I moved this to the teambuilding help thread as the kanto classic thread is for metagame discussion. also added hide tags
This format caught my interest. As a callback to my red and blue days I'm going to use a team of my favorite gen 1 Pokemon. Here is what I have so far. FWI...
I'm curious, what nature would be the most prefered on Rotom-W in this format I'm leaning towards calm but I see scenarios where bold or modest would work.
I was going strong at 33-4 with an 1861 rating, then swagger happend...repeatedly lol So after a losing streak I manage to finish 35-10 Not sure on my rating I think around 1770.
My team was:
Rotom-C@weakness policy
Modest
116 Hp 104 Def 108 Sp.A 180 Speed
30 Def IV
Leaf Storm
HP Ice...
Decided to give this tournament a go, currently 22-2
Alot of interesting teams I've seen such a team with toxic pikachu and a surprising amount of mega mantetric who I think is outclassed by ampharos in this format.
First loss came from underestimating helioisk outside the sun. My second loss...
7-3 on day 2, got owned by several japanese players one who used a choice scarf klefki another that used a banded sylveon with retaliate and my mawile keeps being outspeed by opposing mawiles. They must be running Jolly nature because I have 252 invested in speed lol Also lum berry togekiss is...
