    Hi Pinkacross! Recently started playing Gen 9 OU again (Think my last game was before the kyurem ban/unban) and tried to revive my old Choice Band Hoopa Balance team but with the standard Hoopa-U AV and settled on 2 structures:

    Team 1: https://pokepast.es/09e35e21c62c98fa
    Team 2: https://pokepast.es/ea038910b9f21c7e

    Any thoughts on which seems better and improvements?

    I prefer the Glowking version. You maybe could probably go Choice Band on Hoopa here.

    Hi pink! I threw this team together, and I am wondering what your thoughts are on it.

    its webs HO with iron moth, enamorous, and lokix as the main offensive core

    Hello! As much as I like Lokix, it doesn't make much sense on Sticky Web-- it's the exact opposite type of team that needs a Lokix. I think you'd be better served by Roaring Moon or Kingambit here.

    hey pink! been running this on low/mid ladder and its been getting some success..

    not gonna talk about everything but the cliffnotes are
    max/max sinistcha walls ogerw/tusk,
    spdef gliscor for spikes/helps with moth/val
    wallbreaker val with tera fairy

    i had dragapult in the last slot, but realized corv was screwing me over so i swapped it with molt
    any thoughts? tyty

    iinteresting interesting...
    what would be your recommendation for speed evs then? smogon recommends some decent investment but i cant imagine what it wants to outspeed when i can instead run max/max bold for true bulk. plus it would help more against bp corv.
    Pinkacross
    Pinkacross
    I'd say max HP bold, but hit 200 speed for Kingambit (or 219 if you REALLY want to outspeed Gambit).

    sounds good. thank you!!

    This team has a ton of speed but lacks power. Suicide lead Deo-S also isn't ideal for balance. Honestly I'm not sure what you're going for here, I'd recommend rebuilding and make sure you stick to one archetype.
    Pinkacross
    Pinkacross
    At the moment you've got a mix of HO and balance.
    https://pokepast.es/30461f617c144c06 hey pink, been experimenting with harcenine webs recently and made some changes, meow is now boots, I felt like Harc wasn’t doing enoguh damage so it’s banded now, and I replaced zapdos with a life orb Latios that id able to clean up. My main problem is inability to break fat teams with mons like blissey or dondozo

    If by viable, you mean would it do decently at a top level, the answer is no. It will probably destroy fat teams though.

    Alright thank you, what should i change?/get rid of/switch
    Pinkacross
    Pinkacross
    Honestly, pretty much the entire thing. It seems to lack any structure. Not sure what the goal or vision is here.
    hi pinkacross, i made a team around av basculegion-f https://pokepast.es/6f24cf2ca8a6fe20 and wanted to know what u think about it. I find myself getting good results but lose too frequently to set up sweepers with tera fairy. I thought about using roar instead of dtail but it's not a concrete solution imo

    If you do want to keep it, adding Encore to Ival and swapping to an Encore Knock CC Moonblast set would help with setup.
    Karyyy
    The reason why i use basculegion is probably surprise factor as it did its job pretty well and people dont expect much from it.
    Pinkacross
    Pinkacross
    I don't think that will work at a high level. Basculegion does pretty much one thing, click adaptability surf and shadow ball. I don't think any aware player will be surprised. You may want to find a different choice for a breaker.
    https://pokepast.es/b1e81700179f6bb3 hey pink, made this edit of the harcenine webs team and wanted to know what u think, replaced hammurot for wellspring because i wanted a way to hit water types and replaced enamorus because once hammurot was gone oi needed a dark resist, and i alr had a fairy type.

    What would u think would be a good slot. After playing some ladder games, what id like in this new pokemon is somethign that can outspeed dragapult, special attacker ghost resist/immunity and if possible flying type/levitate

    Running Scarf Meow on webs feels like a bit of a waste... I'm not big on Specs Zapdos here either

    Hi Pinkacross, hope all's going well
    I had this idea cuz my friend asked me to help her build an Amoonguss team
    It's a bit unoptimized probably but it seems like a decent proof of concept
    https://pokepast.es/e4ae99748f9dc304
    What are your thoughts on it?
    Pinkacross
    Pinkacross
    Not bad! My main concern is lack of immediate power and inability to break. You're never going to beat a stall team with this, for example. Some sweepers like Iron Moth and Roaring Moon are also big threats. I'd recommend fitting a real breaker onto the team, one that CAN break stall long-term with the support of the regen core.
    Pinkacross
    Pinkacross
    Hoopa-U and Cornerstone come to mind, those might work well here-- Cornerstone sturdy also helps with your HO problem
    GoTELuckyCharms
    Aye Pink, what's good? I'm about to come back to SV OU, and I wanted to start by seeing how I can improve this team. I don't really struggle much with stall, but I do have a bit of a rougher time trying to get Kyurem in on gliscor. Any ideas?
    Pinkacross
    Pinkacross
    Yea this team definitely has a Gliscor issue-- a physdef Glowking with Ice Beam would help for sure.

    I want to team build an offence team with a glowking+CB hoppa unbound core can you please give me some ideas about teammates and threats i should consider

    Honestly it's been a WHILE since I've built in gen 8. Ferro here gives you a spiker, or allows you to run SR and a super annoying Clef set (Twave Knock Moonblast Softboiled) so that's pretty good! Probably a good change.
    PopAPert
    PopAPert
    I initially had SR on Tran and ran the annoying Clef set, but I switched out Twave for SR and then gave Tran Toxic

    Running Rocks on Ferro will give me best of both options, thanks for the quick response!

    Np! :]
    Hey pink, I made this team cantered around using sticky web combined with coalossal. It may not sen like a good Pokémon, but its signature ability steam engine boosts its speed to max every time it gets hit with a fire or water move. We can fix its 80 special attack by giving it power herb meteor beam.

    Hey Pinka, what's your opinion on Mega Beedrill in NatDex? How does it compare to Mega Scizor?
    Pinkacross
    Pinkacross
    Mega Scizor is definitely better than Megabee in general, but I suspect Mega Beedrill is viable. I fully intend to take Mega Beedrill to rank 1-- it's one of my natdex goals. The speed tier is amazing. As pokemon though, Megabee and Megasciz are super different, not really comparable.

    I’ve got one more team, I’ve maybe upgraded your P-Z choice scarf, and I’d like to see if I’ve done well. Have fun going on memory lane!

    I assume this is for gen 8? My main concern is mixing archetypes, the first 3 mons seem like balance and the last 3 seem like HO.

    So far what I’ve noticed is that it doesn’t do well against Tera Fairy, Focus Sash Calyrex-Shadow

    Looks standard but pretty solid. I'd go Psychic Noise over Psychic on Crown and I'd advise against Tailwind on RM.
    hey pink, made this team and wanted to know ur thoughts. i know it has bad mos but work with me. its a veil team centered around toxtrcity, dragonite kingambit are set up sweepers, great tusk is for electric immunity and damage and ninetales is there to set veil. Toxtricity is a bit of a strange case, punk rock throat spray boombursts with tera normal can ohko mons like gliscor, lando t, zamazenta,

    Wanted to say a big thanks before I posted a couple teams; went through (and am still dealing with) my first bout of random depression and was unable to sleep normally. That was, however, until I started watching your streams. They have been crucial to helping me fall asleep, as watching them helped me feel like how I used to when drifting off, and I don’t know what I’d do without them

    Also, I'm glad you've found my streams helpful! I hope your situation improves.

    Thanks a ton! Hope everything continues to go well for you too. Oh yeah, Suggestion for a future OU stream: Perhaps try something with Mystical Power Azelf? Doubt it’s good in any way but it’s got some stuff I gues
    Pinkacross
    Pinkacross
    I doubt it's viable but I'll keep that in mind. Thanks for the recommendation!

    This looks pretty solid! You may want to try HDB Wisp Pult and Wellspring over Dondozo! I think running a sweeper-stopper like Dondozo is a bit redundant when you have such a fantastic revenge killer in Lokix, paired with pivots like Corv and Glowking.
