For a while now as a cart player I've been bemoaning the desync between cart and ps stat page layout, which I go back and forth between often when finalizing a team for a tournament, for example. I suggest a toggle that switches the stat page layout to a hexagon style, with atk and def on the...

Should 40 or more players participate in round 1 of Orre Cup X, I'll be mailing a loose copy of Pokemon Emerald to the victor- so make sure to sign up, and bully (or just ask) your friends into joining as well. JOIN THE DISCORD

join the vgc channel, they do room tours in there with open team sheets

scream tail looks like a TR setter to me it won't do much damage

I'm glad the team is working out for you, being able to use my favorite mons is one of the best parts of VGC imo. It's just about finding what they're best at and utilizing that to its full potential

By the time it gets expanding force (if at all...) Tapu Lele will probably be available, and even without expanding force Lele is much better But if you don't have male you can definitely stick with female for now

So the initial 10 SpA by itself doesn't mean a ton, it's going to increase damage by like, 8% The main thing is indeedee has a lot of multipliers with stab, terrain, tera, and life orb that multiplies that 8% to closer to 20% Plus the speed difference, of course. Not a ton you hit in that...

I swear by indeedee-M, used it in every format where tapu lele wasn't legal The speed tier is more than a little awkward for both male and female but female doesn't die to sucker punch at the cost of like, not ohkoing volcarona or something random I'm sure I usually go...

drifblim has a niche but it's not really with flare boost psychic seed unburden drifblim gives it a fast tailwind that lets you match the prankster tailwind users pretty easily, but the downside of course is that it has to be paired with indeedee. This isn't the worst thing if you run offensive...

It's just a lot like ttar where you can kinda run anything and it's nuts

What's the main upside to it over flying? I saw a bit of usage on pikalytics Out of the items I mentioned I think life orb and sitrus are the best offensively and defensively but as far as popularity I think I've seen goggles over all but orb actually

thank you :) the only thing I didn't change was "for a weaker alternative" the context here is that the best alternative for hydro pump is actually water pulse so it's hydro pump or bust essentially will update accordingly
