    I tried to build around ursaluna again, with specs pult for more power this time, i did post here on Jun16 for feedback b4. But im kinda concerned of no good ground resist. Am i tryin too hard to cover everything? RM and Gouging is scary for my team if it DD (unless bear comes in). I would love some feedback or even better end up in a team fixing vid, thank you!

    Right yea gambit sometimes sweeps me too
    Pinkacross
    Pinkacross
    Hmm yea Gouging and RM are SUPER scary here. Tickle Alomomola + Gambit over Meow would fix that problem

    Hey Pinka, made this team: https://pokepast.es/4654018b15c89ee4
    It's meant to be a kind of hazard stack but I'm not really experienced when it comes to building these, as I'm usually one for balance, or hyper offense.
    Just wanted to get your input on how it is, and how I can make it better. (Or if it's too far gone to be saved lol).

    On HO, I'd go Darkrai

    What other mons would you recommend me to replace?
    Loved the Heracross Stream earlier btw.

    Glad you enjoyed it! Rest of the team might work, gotta test on ladder and see, especially with HO it can be very difficult to predict performance
    Would you do galarian zapdos for your next build and battle live?
    Pinkacross
    Pinkacross
    G-zap is a pretty disappointing pokemon imo but I'm open to the idea, might be alright on some HO teams for the stall MU
    RoronoaAries
    More disappointing than Keldeo?
    Pinkacross
    Pinkacross
    no, not nearly that bad

    Hello Pinkacross, would you give some feedback on this team? https://pokepast.es/972298d7512f5f69 Tera Dark Crunch on Luna is for Sinistcha. I don't have any Flying type though, and not sure which mon I should use Tera Flying upon, so any advice?
    Pinkacross
    Pinkacross
    I'd go Tera Flying on Cinderace here. This team seems WAY too weak to Kingambit, Tera Fire is probably GG, and even if pult wisps it I could very much see this team losing in the lategame.
    Soumya Ukil
    Soumya Ukil
    Tera Dark on Luna sometimes helps vs Kingambit, but that's not enough I guess. What change do you suggest?
    Pinkacross
    Pinkacross
    wisp on ace, sub leftovers kyurem, and specs pult id say
    RoronoaAries
    Nvm, I just saw your video on excadrill sand, that will probably answer my questions
    Pinkacross
    Pinkacross
    Ah ok, cool!
    Hey Pinkacross! Wanted to build around Rotom-Heat and came up with this: https://pokepast.es/cb454fd93883dc9d. The team struggles a bit against bulkier teams so was wondering what I could add/change to improve it!

    Pinkacross
    Definitely a major improvement. What is it struggling with on ladder? I'd guess Hyper Offense?
    adhuffie
    roaring moon is a bit of an issue, usually in a position where I have to make a risky play to not lose which isn't ideal. and ogerpon is troublesome but I've managed to play around it.
    Pinkacross
    Pinkacross
    Priority would be worthwhile. Wake is your most replaceable mon, perhaps remove it for something with decent prio
    Oroshino
    What do you think about redcard stakeout mabosstiff, I’ve been trying to make it work but it’s hard to justify using.
    Oroshino
    Oroshino
    It’s easier to use in doubles but then you have to predict which opposing mon will activate the card which is unoptimal
    Pinkacross
    Pinkacross
    There's absolutely no reason to use Mabosstiff in OU imo
    Go Knock on Ogerpon over Play Rough, and SD over Spikes. Go Sr on Tusk over Knock. That should do it.
    U told me this when i asked for team help
    https://pokepast.es/25238dc51961c991

    I dont have ogerpon or spikes on my team
    Pinkacross
    Pinkacross
    Oops. That was for the comment beneath you. What issues are you having? Seems like a decent HO

    Hey Pinkacross, was watching your streams when I saw how your skarm once got cooked by an Okidogi and really wanted to build around Okidogi. Tested around with it alot. Heres my final team I came up with. Could you suggest any changes or advice? Feels complete but weak at the same time.
    https://pokepast.es/16ac7118b4402324
    Silver Jay#2240
    Silver Jay#2240
    Speed investment on Okidogi is to creep uninvested Gliscor

    Okidogi ends up also often spams ice punch for freeze procs to win matchups like IronPress Skarm or Stall Mons without letting opponent switch into a ghost freely
    Pinkacross
    Pinkacross
    I like this for the most part, but I have a few concerns. No resist to Kyurem Freeze Dry is not ideal. Also, CB pult and garg both LOVE tera, so perhaps make pult Specs to take the Tera desire of the team down a bit.

    Hey, I really enjoy your fixing viewers teams series! I have literally 0 clue how to teambuild and just went with mons I liked for a hazard stack team. It was built around a meow/tinglu/gholdengo core but had no clue where to go from there lmfao
    https://pokepast.es/4dac9e364be40b0e
    Maria Sumi
    Maria Sumi
    (also ghold should be tera ghost and gliscor should be facade with tera normal over eq forgor to update in paste)
    Pinkacross
    Pinkacross
    not a fan of double SR here, go Ruination over SR on Ting-Lu. You may want to consider HDB Ghold as well. Team looks good otherwise!
    Venuesaur
    Hey, thanks to your advice last time. I've made a new team deciding to build around Tornadus-T because I think it might have a valuable niche on bulky balance, and I wanted to get your take on the team. Torn was initially HDB but could be helmet

    https://pokepast.es/fa224b0226587906
    Pinkacross
    Pinkacross
    Looks pretty solid, REALLY struggles to break Gliscor though.
    Venuesaur
    Venuesaur
    Yeah you're relying on taunt to stop toxic spikes/sets and wear it down on stall, which it does quite well. SD sets it has to taunt after it comes in on an SD which is shaky although Zama can help with that. You can go icy wind as well potentially.
    Leapog
    Pinkacross! Not very familiar with building/playing hazard stack but wanted to get your thoughts on this build as I enjoyed your recent video and wanted to indulge in a teambuilding exercise. Thanks for your time!

    You may also want to run Tickle on Alomomola to help deal with Gouging Fire. This will also help a lot with Roaring Moon, which will become a larger issue if you remove Weavile (which I would recommend).
    Pinkacross
    Pinkacross
    The reason I recommend removing Weavile is that your team REALLY struggles against Darkrai, that's your team's biggest issue. A speed tie isn't what you want the game to come down to. You need to outspeed it-- Dragapult, Zamazenta, and Deo-S are all options here to replace Weavile.
    Pinkacross
    Pinkacross
    Lastly, you may want to make Gliscor SpDef (based on testing), your team is a bit heavy on the special side. Great stuff though! :D
    Hi Pinkacross, I've been watching your videos on helping viewers fix their teams and wanted to know if you could give me some advice on this team I made if possible please

    Yea, this team is definitely too weak to Ogerpon. I'd recommend Hydrapple over Kyurem. You don't really need Double Specs here I'd say.
    RoronoaAries
    The standard ou hydrapple set right?
    Pinkacross
    Pinkacross
    Test various sets, but yea HDB NP seems solid
    Revërberations
    Hello, Pinkacross. I have been out of the loop of Competitive, but have recently gotten back into it due to your video tutorials appearing in my recommended feed. Backlogging through them, I put together this Balance team as a tentative dip back into the pool. If you are willing to provide feedback on this setup, I would be appreciative. Gen 9 Balance (pokepast.es)

    Pinkacross
    Go Knock on Ogerpon over Play Rough, and SD over Spikes. Go Sr on Tusk over Knock. That should do it.

    Hi, I am having trouble getting this set to get choiced chomp to work, I've seen so many people get choice set of their favorite pokemon to work in OU but I have been struggling for ages, any help can work, I just wanna keep some form of choice chomp on the team
    https://pokepast.es/945a583b14112bf1
    Pinkacross
    Pinkacross
    I don't think scarf chomp is viable. Try replacing it with Tera Blast Ice Scarf Lando-T with U-turn.
    Hey Pinkacross, I was wondering if you could rate my team and give a few pointers on how to improve it. This is the pokepaste to the team - https://pokepast.es/aa311709addee093 It is a bulky offense team that has worked for me on ladder, but I would like to know how I could improve it as I enter high ladder.
    Pinkacross
    Pinkacross
    Given how solid your team is against hazards, AND you have removal, I think HDB on Pult and Meow doesn't make sense. One of them can become CB or Specs, for more power.
    Ominous Void
    Hi Pinkacross, I was wondering if you can rate this team https://pokepast.es/161654bf9f36dc25, it’s a hoopa balance that I built using your guide. I was wondering if you can critique me, because something just doesn’t feel right with the team.
    Pinkacross
    Pinkacross
    Lack of solid walls, no fast pokemon, and no priority means you're going to lose to almost every Offense and HO team you face. Speed is the big issue here.
    turnzecki
    hi pinkacross, i wanted u to rate my team, i am very new to pokemon in general (just started yesterday) and idk if stall is still viable but I'm trying to make a team with it pls rate/give input, *note pls explain in moderate detail because I don't know what I'm doing*

    Lack of speed control is super scary, and a Taunt Roaring Moon is pretty much gg which isn't ideal. Gouging Fire is also very scary

    Pinkacross
    I'm worried about your gambit MU but team seems decent apart from that. Ogerpon is a huge issue as well. Tera Dragon on Alo doesn't matter if Ogerpon uses it as free setup fodder. Tera Dragon + Body Slam would deal with it, or Tera Flying Acro + Eject / Card
    Wellhell
    Pinkacross
    Pinkacross
    Without ID on Corv, your HO matchup is really really hard. Opposing RM and Gouging Fire are very very difficult to handle. I'd also recommend Dragon Claw on RM, you can't afford to lock into Outrage since it's really the only offensive mon on your team

    Hello Mr Pinkacross,
    I am contacting you because I would like to make a team submission. This team was made 2 days after Ogerpon DLC came out. I though the team it needs some fixing but idk what to fix. Its hasn't been doing too great on ladder too.

    Thank you once again for taking the time to read this message and have a blessed rest of your day!

    I would also like to add that I contacted you via Discord dms with a more complex and structured message about the team itself if needed.

    Pinkacross
    Great, we'll do this via Discord then. :]
