TEAM DUMP PMPL
Hello everyone, I saw my friend
FlamPoke make a great team dump so wanted to do the same while giving my thoughts on the meta and some changes on the vr, enjoy!
Vs Clas, week 1
Knowing that Clas was prob the only person with prior Teramax experience, I wanted to bring something that is easy to pilot. I knew they would think I would bring ho as I'm unfamiliar with the meta so decided to bring an offense that could break stall and fat teams. Ogerpon looked broken here and it just 6-0ed so that is that. My first impressions were that dnite and togekiss could be very broken too.

Vs One Last Kiss, week 2
I didn't know what to expect from them, brought a team that could be solid across the board against ho, offense. OLK didn't bring what I expected but with a bit of luck and broken gambit I was able to pull trough.

Vs Mielke, week 3
Mielke had been using ho a lot this tour so the idea was to have an anti ho offense, it did very well in test games and this lum dragonite was a tech I wanted to use. Gengar also looked very good. An all around good team tho weak to fairies be warned.

Won by act
Vs Ineros, week 4
Ineros was 2-1 going into this so I knew I had to prep well. I know him and I also saw that he used only ho if my memory is correct, I wanted to counter team by bringing something I haven't done before which is ho, specifically webs ho to beat opposing ho. In testing all the members did well tho Cinderace was the weak point. Turns out webs wasn't the call and my goat
Ineros washed me. Still a fun team that did well.

Vs BloodAce, week 5
BloodAce subbed in for Occulars as they were already in and wanted to give everyone some games. I expected some offensive team so I went with some spike stack lax team that I recreated. Copper was something I wanted to try out and it looked super nice in test. Garg is the ultimate you won't be prepared for it and zama destroys ho. Webs was brought by them and Copper + Zama went LeBron. A very nice team.

Thoughts on PMPL
PMPL was one of the tours I enjoyed the most. It was super fun to build for it and test while being in a super nice team, it was def a great experience and for thart I want to thank all my teammates and also my managers
Cao Jie and
RL who did a great job and spent way too much time testing with me each week (you guys are the goats). I also want to thank
Gekokeso Maia and
igiveuponaname for the super hosting. Now I'm sad there's no PM circuit.
Ps : also want to thank the guys who did predicts every week aking this tour hype, s/o
Noglastica Gekokeso and
Beaf Cultist ! You guys are the goats.
Thoughts on the meta and vr
Even tho ho was used a lot I do think the meta is in a fine state atm, ho was overused while not being the best archetype in my opinion. Here's what I would change on the VR :
Rises
Togekiss S- -> S : This thing is insane. It can have so many sets and fit on so many teams, super good mon and yet I'm not sure if you need a nerf or not. It always put big numbers but it isn't a sweeper most of the time.
Copperajah-Gmax B+ -> A- : Spikes is broken, this things is good and has every moves it needs whenever it's to weaken eq with Power Whip, it's signature move, Heat Crash for sun or even eq to boost it's defensive capabilities. It's very good tho it's held back by some weakesses.
Drops
Cinderace-Gmax S -> S- : it's obv very good whenever in sun, bo or other but I do think losing access to Court Change is a bit of a deal, also some mons just check it well so it isn't as easy to fit on teams as the other S tiers.
Ogerpon-Wellspring A+ -> A- / B+ : Losing play rough and some stats is rough for it, no longer having Strengh Snap is also huge, I think the nerf was a bit overkilled. Before the nerf it was S- in my opinion.
That is that for me, will 100% come back next year for PMPL and will continue to contribute for Teramax. Until then see you guys!
