Your matchup into trick room isn't too bad with Pelliper for weather, Rillaboom to change terrain and Snarl on Archaludon to lower all the special damage, but you don't have anything that can really so damage back to the Hard Trick Room staples. I have concerns about some of the EV...

I do encounter the odd strangely Scarf-ed 'mon on Bo1 ladder, but you're have to make a hell of a read to call it and Sucker so I concur. Naturally, the day after I post my team talking about how Electabuzz is better than Magmar CybertronVGC and Adi Subramanian both post videos where the...

Its the Spread vs Single STAB. Darts has some nice mechanics where it’ll auto-target according to where its most likely to do damage. For example if your opponent has a Fairy type out on the field both darts will go into the other slot. Same if they only protect on one of the slots, both darts...

Oh wow! That I wasn't expecting. I was sure I'd screw up an EV or something somewhere! Thank you

Hello Again Smogon VGC community! I took the leap and got some coaching about the Team crisis I was having at the start of the format and asked my Coach what I should run to maximise the chance of improvement for me. He recommended running a Balance team, so heres my attempt at putting together...

I think Dortmund and Baltimore solidify Alolan Ninetails as an Encore user and Vivillon as a Sleep user too

Hello again all, I thought I'd use my 1 bump to update the thread with the most up-to-date version of the team with explanations. I've made a few changes due to calcs and experience with the team and this is the strongest version I've found so far, so to wit: Archaludon @ Assault Vest Ability...

I think the healing from Matcha is a little more on Doubles because it hits 2 targets at once which might make it more appealing. Sinistcha coming in Clutch: https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2024reghbo3-2178455016 https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2024reghbo3-2178456563 I've...

I’ll try Matcha Gotcha vs Strength Sap. Ive opted for Shadow Ball over Protect too. Do you guys think I could do away with Life Dew if I make sure to get the Hospitality Cycles right?

Most Maushold I’ve ran into run safety goggles to stop exactly this sort of thing happening. Peli/Basulegion does work well as you’ve suggested though!

252HP/252Def Tera Dark is a 93.8% chance to OHKO with Sacred Sword Gallade on a Clear Amulet. This is tough haha >.< Sinistcha might get around the Sacred Sword with its Ghost typing and take neutral from Psycho cut, even with no investment its a 2 hit KO and I still get redirection and...

Thank you so much as always. I’ve included all the changes you’ve suggested I’m having a problem with EVing Amoonguss to survive Psycho Cut. Even if I go 252HP/252Def an Adamant Life Orb Psycho Cut is a garunteed OHKO. I think I have to Tera in front of it regardless

Hello All Reg H has been around a few days now and I think we're starting to see the Meta emerge so I'd like to lock in on the archetype I'm gonna be playing for the format early on and try to get as good as I can with it for the next few months. That means I'm going to need to pick a strong...

You, sir are a legend. The changes are wonderful. Case in point: https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2024regh-2172484264-geppxfjl4fgph9lbv9hrfim7nshlvdipw if anything I’m using pelliper more than Palafin Most up to date: https://pokepast.es/0d977e91d9788246

Hello Everyone! I know its early days yet but hopefully I can reiterate on this team throughout the format and make tweaks and improvements as the meta shifts. I was trying to make a team as similar as I could to my Reg G team in terms of how it works, but the new format means a few tweaks to...
