won vs MatLaTomate gg https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/smogtours-gen9ru-789392

While I think the lack of electric immunity is pretty hard to play with, I like leaf storm Amoonguss a lot so it makes up for it. Hoops has my vote!

I'll vote Fluff. Ditto on the vacuum wave.

forest guardian Gastrodon rep is always nice, but ice beam craw is sealing the deal

"Phoning it in" Classy Smokes 2: Electric Boogaloo :weezing-galar: :Bisharp: :Gastrodon: :mimikyu: :Zapdos-galar: :Entei: https://pokepast.es/23b511321ff287f2 Just when I thought I was turning the corner and might actually have a handful of free time, life throws another surprise. But as...

It's been a while since I've made any general discussion posts (mostly because I'm kind of busy now), but also because I don't have strong opinions on a lot of the discussions that have taken place. Frankly I don't even have a super strong opinion on nerfing HO because I find it an extremely...

Voting Hoops I was playing around with a volt-turn spam team and it was pretty fun. I'm sure throwing in some good status spread only makes it even more enjoyable.

Wait, people vote on these before even looking at the pastes? Some nice teams here. I'm a bit surprised by the general lack of prio moves (forgiven in some cases such as Heatranator with ample prankster T-wave support). Maybe I'm not good and rely on prio as a crutch. Agree with Rarelyme (and...

So I actually really like all the teams this week so I managed to make time to try them. It probably helps that I randomly got the rain match up a couple times with the Toxicroak, but I'm kind of sold haha. I'm definitely trying this over Gastrodon on teams that need help vs rain. Anyways, all...

Classy Smokes! :sv/weezing-galar: :sv/bisharp: :sv/zapdos-galar: :bw/gastrodon-east: :bw/salamence: :sv/entei: https://pokepast.es/583733c317702a42 If I felt like I didn't have much time the last few weeks, it was even worse this week. Despite the lack of testing, this team has actually...

While I wouldn't implement it the same way personally, I think eject button is an underutilized as a pivoting strategy on non-HO structures. Also Gapdos is really good right now (I'd say opportunity cost of running it is at an all time low since it dropped). Fluff!

I was a bit on the fence whether or not I should submit this, but I'll go for it! Another team that can be fun. True to form; as always, anti-HO, anti-rain, and can handle some balance! New features - free major stall liabilities! :sv/goodra-hisui: :sv/bisharp: :sv/conkeldurr: :sv/rotom-heat...

Stylish gen 2 rep. Heatranator

Well I ended up using a canned set for the Regidrago team last week and I tell you what; I couldn't live with myself. In hopes of stemming the tide of nightmares that my previous team cursed upon me: I present, "Something Something Entei Something" (Basically anti Rain, anti Kleavor-HO, and...
