Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
About the Garganacl Tera Types Section:
Steel-type: Terastallizing into a Steel-type stops Amoonguss from clearing its boosts with Clear Smog and makes Garganacl a decent check to Fairy-types such as offensive Mimikyu and Substitute + Calm Mind Flutter Mane.
Should Flutter Mane be mentioned...
I could use something like this in random 6v6 games, but I was looking forward to using a real ruleset when I get around to matching with other people. From the start, I planned on saying "nope" to people who were packing Miraidon/Koraidon. Something I could play ranked with if I felt like it...
You can put them on your sun team. I just don't see myself changing enough on this team to accommodate them. I could make this Showdown OU and put Chi-Yu in it for Flutter easily, but all that's gonna require changes I'm just not willing to make right now. The rules say don't make more than 3...
Seems really solid! Only thing that stuck out to me was Garganacl using Aguav Berry over Leftovers. Didn't seem like they had any problem surviving in your replays though. Given a format like BSS held items, it would hurt me inside to not make use of Leftovers on at least one Pokemon (Garganacle...
No problem. Actually kinda glad SunnyD passed as a Doubles team at a cursory glance. Might try it out someday just to see what happens, can't imagine it's very good unless by unintended coincidence.
If I change things up, Chi-Yu could easily make it on the team. I do have Torkoal, but I rarely...
Hell no, and not looking forward to it! I haven't even beaten the game yet. I saw the Flutter Mane/Houndstone bans online a week ago and got sucked into the competitive meta research. Have only played once since I started theory building a team to participate in a perfect 6 IV ditto giveaway...
I have considered it, but not seriously enough to start looking at how their typing would fit into the team and such. As far as Chi-Yu for Roaring Moon: no way! Roaring Moon is actually my biggest Chi-Yu counter and only Choiced Physical attacker. By comparison, the overall Roaring Moon stats...
Probably should've mentioned Torkoal runs Heat Rock to increase Sun turns from 5 to 8 too. We also need ways to safely bring Torkoal back into play periodically to reset the Sun weather, which happens every time they come into play (especially if opponents are running Sand or Rain). That's one...
Thanks! Scream Tail has so many moves, I could make it do almost anything. Having it setup for the team makes sense because 3 of them are Choiced and it combos with 3 of them. Torkoal has some disruption, but if I want to add more I need disruption from either Scream Tail or Coviknight (or a...
SunnyD: Unleash the power of the sun!
Got Scarlet on release. Got interested in competitive. Spent days researching OU. Decided I wanted to make a team of 6 to use in 6v6 Wifi battles that adhered to the "Ranked Battle" rules. There are no 6v6 "Ranked Battle" games, only 3v3 and 4v4 doubles VGC...
I've been theory crafting a Sun Build as well and I wanted to ask/address something related to this:
This video shows Roaring Moon getting an attack boost from Protosynthesis because of its base stats factored in before the Choice Scarf. That's how people are theory crafting it.
Has anyone...
