I completed DAY 3 with 9:6 and my final rating is 1643, currently #865 I used only Snorlax, as its my favorite pokemon ... not the best in this format, but still worked quite well. Snorlax @ Choice Band Ability: Thick Fat EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Def / 4 Spe Adamant Nature - Giga Impact -...

I completed DAY 2 again with 10:5 and my rating now is 1630 I lost to the Body Press Avalugg posted by cant say, to Choice Band Darmanitan-Galar, to Focus Sash Gallade, Hitmonlee and a very tanky Perrserker. Today I encountered Aegislash five times, but thankfully none of them was sashed so I...

I completed DAY 1 with 10:5 and rating 1560 I lost to Corsola-Galar twice, also to Flame Orb Milotic, to Iron Ball Perish Song Lapras and last to 3 Waterfall flinches in a row against Gyarados. In total I encountered Gyarados four times, so it may be a good idea to choose a mon that can handle...

I encountered 4 or 5 Greedent teams ... although I oneshottet it every time as I don't want to deal with a Snorlax Lite.

Doing the day 3 fights tired and right after midnight was not a good idea. I made a lot of mistakes like forgetting the time in team preview or forgetting to hit the dynamax button. So I ended with 6:9 and dropped down to 1615 points (in total 28:17, currently 1724th place).

Day 1 was okay and I ended it 10:5 with 1573 points. Day 2 was better and I finished 12:3 with 1685 points (in total 22:8, currently 234th place). Thats okay for me as I haven't tested my team. The most annoying thing for me was Galarian Corsola, as you have to handle it before it can setup and...

In the "Galar Beginnings" thread someone wrote that rental teams don't work, also I remember in the past gen rental teams were not allowed in online competitions ... so I assumed its still the same, but sorry I haven't tested it myself. edit: i checked ingame, you can not select rental teams...

you can not use rental teams in the online competitions

its actually one week earlier: source:

I did all my remaining fights, but didn't count wins/losses. I had my peak at 1658 points, but I had a few losses at the end dropping my final result to 1571 points. Not really good ... I hope next tournament I have time to plan and test a proper team.

If you try to do more the game stops you and shows that you reached the limit. You can not do extra matches - only if you have matches left from the day before that rolled over.

I was wrong on the Leftovers. I tested Figy Berry, Sitrus Berry and Leftovers in the battle tower. All of them scale off the base health, so Figy Berry is 16,5%, Sitrus Berry is 12,5% and Leftovers is 3,125% in (level 10) dynamax form. Does someone know how Leech Seed on a dynamaxed pokemon works?

Even with these downsides G-Max Snorlax ist still better than the regular Snorlax if you want STAB and Trick Room. Max Strike lowers the targets speed, what is not really desireable for a trick room team. Someone already made tests a few days ago: What could work is a Snorlax with Chople...

From what I have seen so far both Max Moves and G-Max Moves affect both pokemon in doubles and the effect is guaranteed for Max Moves but not guaranteed for G-Max moves. That makes most G-Max moves actually worse than the Max Moves. So regarding your examples Max Airstream increases always the...

With 1629 points you should have more wins. In comparision: I went 9-6 and ended with 1534 points. The point calculation was always a bit weird, but I don't think the gap can be this large. I assembled a non-optimal team from what I had as I haven't finished all my breeding stuff. In the...
