could it have been using a move that has negative priority?

... If i told you that I had accidentally put avalance instead of icicle crash on my weavile would that make sense?
... I'll delete this user and never post again now, thanks.
yes it makes sense
it happens, you do not have to delete your account lmao, take it easy bro
Haha im just drake and joshing. Thanks for making me doubt myself and double check, that has definitely cost me a few games.
Can you give us the team?
Generally Corviknight and maybe Conkeldurr as defoggers and Drill as go-to spinner
So far it's - peliper defensive, dracovish choice band, dragon dance gyarados, special attacking stealth rock seismitoad
KamenOH
formerly DynamaxBestMeta
I dont know if here is the right place, but is this set good, or can it be improved? It surprises Seismitoad users who use it for the water immunity it provides, as well as beating gyarados with set up (although i haven't seen the wind sock as of late). Brick Break is just coverage, but can 2HKO a hydreigon with unspecified evs, because I was facing the hydra and not using it.
Morpeko @ Life Orb
Ability: Hunger Switch
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Seed Bomb
- Parting Shot
- Aura Wheel
- Brick Break
Parting shot allows me to safely switch in something better (like glalie or octillery) without fear of being immediately fucked, while aura wheel gives me dark and electric coverage, or so i think. Is that how it works?
Anyways, i think the set works well in limited usage.

No I mean like the pokepast or place it in a hide tag.
Morpeko is an iffy choice, but

Not really since the GXE gain/loss is based on the ranking of the opponent relative to yours. If you look through the reqs thread you can get a good feel for what kind of W/L you will need to hit. Seems like around 80% wins or so.
Good luck and keep in mind you can always start over with a new alt or play past 40 games if you got close.
Does Eviolite apply the bonus on Gmax Pikachu, Gmax Eevee, and Gmax Meowth, or are they classed as fully evolved?
What’s considered a low score on the ladder right now? Or high, for that matter?
I'd say above 1500 is pretty decent
Hi, so I'm not sure if this is the correct place for this question BUT...
I'm currently trying to get the 80% GXE needed to vote in the suspect test. The only problem is, when I look myself up on the ladder it says "No one has played any ranked games yet." When I looked myself up on https://pokemonshowdown.com/users/OUTMNyanasaur, it says that gen8ou is under Unofficial Ladder. I was wondering what ladder I needed to play on then for this to count towards the suspect test. I would hate to play all of these games and then none of them count.
Thanks in advice :)

Turn 9ish. My Dragapult and opponents Eiscue dynamax. Eiscue attacks first. Is there something I'm not understanding? Eiscue has leftovers and my dragapult has max speed and modest. I should outspeed it, correct? Unless max moves retain priority from the moves it originates as. Maybe he had icicle spear? It's all I can think of.

Eiscue has 130 base speed with no Ice Head- therefore a Jolly Eiscue would outspend a Modest Dragapult
Doh. Thanks so much. It feels much better knowing why I got wrecked.
Bump because I really need to get this figured out. I really would like to get that 80% GXE

Since all the main tiers are not out, gen 8 ou isn’t put down as the official tier yet, nothing is wrong with the ladder, continue to play gen 8 ou
Cool ty. I just don't understand why it says "No one has played any ranked games yet"
Are you spelling the name right when checking?
Yep... "OUTM Nyanasaur"
Type in "/rank OUTM Nyanasaur" to chat. I just did it and got this:
| [Gen 8] OU | 1249 | 66.7% | 1634 ± 81 | 11 | 2 | 13 |
