Tournament Hackmons Premier League III - Post-tour thread

Okay, more serious post time.

hendrit - always great to be on your team, thanks for the teambuilding help and testing. Sorry that you got stuck in SV! :(
Siphonaptera - thanks for your help with teambuilding, sorry that you got stuck in SV too!
cityscapes - thanks for help testing/building, always enjoy seeing what you cook for every match!
clodsie - sorry we didn't get to play, your teams looked really fun though!
lag=bad - thanks for teambuilding help!
Thanks everyone I played for the good games and putting up with my scheduling terrorism.
Thanks everyone on the team for the comfy team environment :3
Thanks everyone who cheered me on! :>
Thanks giraffe managers and tournament hosts for having me!

Teams below.

:Beedrill-Mega: :Kyogre-Primal: :Giratina: :Ampharos: :Registeel: :Groudon-Primal:
Going into the tournament I had already been experimenting with amphy a bit, and being drafted for Pink Giraffes solidified that I wanted to take it for at least one game. It is a pretty good mon with the right support, but really does need the right support to cover its weaknesses which limits teambuilding quite a lot. Impostor matchup is hard for this team, pdon deliberately speed creeps mega amphy at +2 for the improof but I got nervous and threw in the match thinking registeel would get KOed in one hit.

:Groudon-Primal: :Kyogre-Primal: :Diancie-Mega: :Gyarados-Mega: :Chansey: :Arceus-Fire:
Unfinished/unused team I was working on for week 2 but had to cancel my match due to an irl emergency.

:Rayquaza-Mega: :Rayquaza-Mega: :Metagross-Mega: :Arceus: :Beedrill-Mega: :Chansey:
Pretty cheesy week 4 team sorry. I hate playing against this type of team so I hate myself for using it too lol.
Espeed WG Arc stays winning, y'all are sleeping on it!

:Xerneas: :Gyarados-Mega: :Deoxys-Speed: :Kyogre-Primal: :Giratina: :Zekrom:
Fun team that hendrit cooked up and posted in their post above, I only changed Manectric to Deo-S to make sure I could outspeed and taunt all the other fast WGs.
Steam Eruption Deoxys was a funny meme because N runs pdon a lot, but sadly it got scouted by imp so no shenanigans this time.

:Groudon-Primal: :Mewtwo-Mega-Y: :Giratina: :Spiritomb: :Chansey: :Audino-Mega:
Brought back bounce pdon from the unused team for the semifinals game.
Day before the game I was testing with cityscapes and even said that timid MMY misses too many ranges and I would change to modest. Then I proceeded to forget to change it, and lo and behold barely missed two important ranges costing the game (the second one was moonblast vs gira-o, which is why I used volt switch and sacrificed chansey). Oops!

Rapin Spin mgar is the future trust the process ~~On a serious note Idk why its rapd spin and not like shadow ball :p~~
Click to expand...
Click to collapse...
The basic idea is to answer mgar, you swap to a pokemon like a bouncer, mgyara, or a moldy mon, and on switch you can get a spin in which as a result clears hazards on your side rather than both sides allowing your hazards to remain alive and if your opponent swaps to defogger, you can do more chip via hazards while throwing taunts to shut them down from clearing hazards and having baton pass for pursuit.
I do feel it could totally be like spin/taunt/shadowball/pass or spin/taunt/toxic/pass or some other set, but I do feel it needs fast taunt to be able to deny the opponent from cleaning up hazards (and apply other pressure, though ig sleep is an option), and it does need pass to be able to survive pursuit.
 
Okay guys Wheaty team dump time

This team is really basic (you’ll notice a trend with the teams) but I also haven’t touched the meta since vcreate ban prior to this so I didn’t feel the need to get crazy creative, and clearly given my 5-1 record I didn’t have to. Banded pdon is fuckin broken it just clicks away but Levi arc steel is also my king.

This team I like but hate at the same time and wanna rebuild a similar structure again just don’t want to have to ladder to test it :( Trick sludge etern + strong special attackers is really good but I didn’t get to put it in action cuz shackle Don simply won.

This team is just BOMB SQUAD but new and entirely different. Fast specs button + middling speed (slow) phys nuke, shit works, fuck creativity.
