    For your next Natdex stream, could I possibly suggest Mega Manectric? Rising Voltage on Electric Terrain is a solid cleaner, and it's got intimidate to help soften blows for teammates in sticky situations. Overheat also disencourages Ferro from coming in, which is nice as an Electric Type. I've recently hit #35 on the Natdex ladder with this squad featuring the mon: https://pokepast.es/f31aa1862306e510

    I could provide replays if you're interested, too

    Oh wait I'm so sorry you've already done Mega Manectric lmao, I should've checked!

    Hi Pinkacross, I liked watching your videos especially the one featuring stall breakers and wanted your opinion on my team. Also, how well does it fare against the rest of the OU meta?

    Hey Pinkacross, i watched some of your rmt vids and i wanted to know what a player who has reached the top of the leaderboard would say about I team I built recently for natdex, I tried opting for offense/hyper offense but my understanding of the team archetypes aren’t the best but here it is

    Yea this team is a bit wonky. Half offense and half hyper offense here. Volc Ival Gyara are HO, and Lele Tusk Hrott (at least this set of Hrott) is moreso balance
    Pinkacross
    Pinkacross
    I'd recommend cutting em in half and making 2 teams

    Hi, how are you? I don't know if you remember me, but I was analyzing an old team of yours, from 2020, where you made a hazard stack team with slowbro max spd, why slowbro max spd and not slowking? This team I'm talking about is on a list of sample teams

    Slowking has less physdef. I don't want the Slowbro to JUST check Lele and Volcanion. I also want it to answer Urshi-R. This specific stat spread of Slowbro can be copied exactly, same stat points onto a Slowking. The reason I don't is because of Slowbro's design (I like it more) and people don't expect SpDef Bro
    Pinkacross
    Pinkacross
    But if you want to make it into a Slowking you can go for it, investing a slowking in physdef and some spdef leads to these exact stats

    I don't think Damp Rock Rain TR is viable, but if you're going with it, I'd recommend Specs Tinted Lens Hisuian Braviary over Zapdos

    Hi Pinkacross, I'm a big fan of yours, since last year, I watch all your videos , your videos helped me improve in the game, to have an idea, I wanted to know if you could recommend me a SS OU team that you like, whether made by you or someone else.

    Honestly it's been so long since I've played SS that any recommendations would be outdated-- but the SS sample teams are very good! I'd recommend those. Also thanks so much for the support! :D

    I understand, okay, sorry for the inconvenience, I even love your 2020 hazard stack sample team with tapu koko and victini with offensive core

    My main concern is your lack of speed. Your stall matchup worries me a bit as well. I'd go Future Sight over Slack Off on Glowking, and Specs Pult over Specs Kyurem. Tera Grass on Glowking for the Wellspring matchup, and I'd EV your Moltres to survive an Ivy Cudgel and KO with BB in return (unless that's already what it is)
    Pinkacross
    Pinkacross
    And if the Wellspring matchup continues to be an issue, I'd go Eject Button Alomomola + Acrobatics over Scald

    Dang yes wellspring is actually the biggest issue of this team thanks for both the suggestion it helps a lot into that matchup
    Hey Pink, I thought that SubTect+Toxic Iron Moth is hard to switch into, and Fiery Dance can let it snowball against passive mons so I decided to make a team based around it. It's been performing well against fatter teams, but gets pressured by fast paced teams.

    Choice Band Rillaboom is a huge improvement I can see right away. Also I'd go Leftovers on Moth, Black Sludge will hurt you if you Tera.

    I also enjoy Lorb Pawmot + Wish support, but this team is SUPER weak to Ogerpon-Wellspring. If you're going to run Alomomola, you need a good switch-in to that. There's no quick fix for that, you'd need to do some restructuring. Here's an old Lorb Pawmot team I made for inspiration: https://pokepast.es/7c1f06a7680a93e7

    Pinkacross what is your opinion on the Max Hp Darkrai set?

    Hazards, darkrai, Zamazenta and even though its not very common I feel like I always lose to cornerstone when I see it
    Pinkacross
    Pinkacross
    Ah yea those make sense. I'd go Tera Ghost on Moltres to help with Zamazenta, and you may want to consider Choice Band / Specs Pult over Kyurem, that will do better against rai since it can U-turn and threaten OHKO with Tera Dragon Draco / Darts. Pult will make you a bit less hazard weak as well.

    Thanks so much! I’ll lyk how it goes

    I'm impressed, for the most part this looks quite good. My main concern is opposing hazard stack. AV Glowking, Specs Pult, and CB Scizor are SUPER weak to hazards. Helmet Tusk is not the play here, go HDB. That'll improve your removal situation. I'd also recommend Knock Off or Temper Flare over Close Combat on Great Tusk. This Tusk must be the best removal possible. Also given how weak you are to Wellspring, I'd recommend Sucker Punch over Encore on Hrott, and slap Tera Grass on Glowking, Tusk, and Lando.

    This is a team that I’ve been working on recently but I haven’t really tested it much in high ladder yet. The team revolves around using Gold and Lati to break through specific threats to allow for a Scizor or Goodra sweep. Ting Lu is the defensive backbone that holds everything together and Cinderace is there for hazard control and having a decent speed tier to check most mons that aren’t speed booster or scarf. I’ll admit there wasn’t much going on in my head when I made this team besides my desire to use goodra, so it doesn’t really have a clear direction. Regardless, I’d appreciate your feedback since there’s a part of me that thinks goodra is quite underrated.

    The steelspam is interesting. I REALLY don't know about this Goodra though. This team has some big weaknesses. Zamazenta concerns me, Wellspring concerns me, water types in general like Hrott and Prim worry me-- test and lmk how it goes.

    I climbed to 1700s today and I’ll see how it goes in the future. Zama and Wellspring are definitely threats and those two are the reason why I’m running dragon tail on Goodra. Zama is definitely the toughest matchup and an early tera is likely to be forced. That said, an early Tera is not a bad move on this team since there aren’t any mons that are too tera reliant. I’ve been checking prim with gold and hrott with Lu, but both are tricky to deal with for sure. Overall, I think the team has several difficult but not unwinnable matchups, but on the flip side, it performs very well into good matchups and Goodra can easily win by itself without a phasing/encore.
    Pinkacross
    Pinkacross
    I'd say Goodra is what needs to go-- it seems like a very hit-or-miss set, and the rest of the team craves consistency. If it works, it works-- but I doubt Goodra here very much.

    yo pink. I've been trying to make chesnaught work in our because I like the guy and I saw that it did pretty well into kingambit, hsam, waterpon lacking play rough, and even ghold when you tera bc Shadow Ball is a bullet move so i cooked up this team but I noticed that that I'm got a hazard removal problem. I have treads but putting all the pressure of removal is not very healthy for this team but I don't know what to change on my team currently. It would be amazing if I could get some feedback form you. (PS I'm pretty bad at building teams and will probably sit at around 1400s for the rest of my life)

    Honestly this looks pretty good. My main concern is that all of your Knock Off users are easily walled by common Knock Off absorbers. Try Heavy Duty Boots Darkrai with Knock Off, Ice Beam, Sludge Bomb, and Dark Pulse, and make Gholdengo Scarf with Trick over Nasty Plot.
    Hey pinkacross. I was wondering if you could rate this team. It is working pretty well on ladder, but I fell like it is missing something.The team is also weak to Willo Wisp cinderace from what I haveseen, but I don't know what to change. https://pokepast.es/b73605dcf7c59869
    Pinkacross
    Pinkacross
    My main concern here is that you have no power, breaker, or way to make progress. A hazard stack team without Knock Off isn't a hazard stack team. You need to restructure and consider how you're going to make progress
    SpicyJ
    Ok, thank you for the advice. I agree, I noticed the hazard stack aspect of it was not working too well.
