I ran out of space! But I was just going to say I have no idea what else I could do to improve. I have over 1500 battles done and I only use sample teams if that matters. I’ve tried building with your tips but it never works out and I just lose to everything

That sounded mean- I’m sorry! I wanted to say your tips are great but they never work for me not because they’re bad but because I’m bad. Sorry for the misunderstanding

Thanks for the support! Just keep practicing! 1500 games is honestly a VERY small number of the quantity it will take to become what most consider "good." This is a VERY complicated game. Just enjoy the process. :]

Oh hey- that was my friend lol. I let him use this account as I didn’t think I’d ever get back into comp but seeing him having so much fun with it, I decided to get back into it and I’ve been having a good time- meta’s definitely getting better. Only recently started back up but I’m back into the top 500’s. So cool that you responded to them!

Uh, while I’m here, I’ll drop this right here https://pokepast.es/2319bde50cce9f25 it’s a Rockpon team with a Tera bug X-scissor scarf hisuian samurrot. The wacky stuff was addd in response to the team being quite Waterpon weak- X-scissor without Tera has a 25% chance to kill from full! Teams gone borderline undefeated and is undeniably the best team I’ve made- I’d like your opinion on it though

Team is still quite weak to Waterpon unfortunately. Other than that looks pretty good, no major concerns just from looking at it other than being a bit slow. No prio and hrott as only speed control makes me worry a lot about the HO matchup and the Offense matchup

That was noted- I’ve swapped to this team https://pokepast.es/619fd29432fd37cf but on the rockpon team I switched to Tera Bug X-scissor hammurott because it has like a 25% chance to OHKO Woger without Tera and an 100% with Tera bug. Also, the team lost to a lot of garg and dozo teams due to a big lack of special attackers.

The HO matchup was usually dealt with using a combination Moltres, Glowking and Gliscor having a good matchup into a lot of HO mons.
