Mono Tree
Rip what little points I had.

stupid OU sun team https://pokepast.es/04d58f39dc2e0b79

Hey we play for SCL. Wanna play on Sunday? GMT -3 here

5 years of gen 9 got me OHKOing Great Tusk with specs illumise

https://pokepast.es/df660aa9547a9c6f

fun terrible team i've been using on this shit ladder because if offensive tusk goes for spin on illumise or comes in on an expected t wave you blow it to bits with tera bug buzz. the rest of the guys are guys who don't like great tusk, but you can probably make a better team around the goat illumise.

yo lax, i tried this unique grassy seed hoopa team. it´s kinda week against tusk, dnite and some gambit variations, but it was hella fun to use. maybe you can give it a try :)

got an interesting zap-g and mixed dnite team that hit top 30 on ladder recently, you have seen this team before
team: https://pokepast.es/4c19f3a10188b7b3

Here's a couple of meme teams I've been toying with.

Team #1
ULTRASAFE
https://pokepast.es/fb6ee0e01c4a402b

This team has two key defensive features:
- No two pokemon share any weaknesses.
- We resist (or are immune to) every single type.

What are the teams offensive features? Optimistically, they're best described as 'limited'. But your opp is going to have a damn hard time dealing damage.

Team #2
MAX STATS
https://pokepast.es/7df9e1967c0027a4

This team is objectively bad, but it is fun when you pull it off. Inspired by a couple of your videos, these six mons hold world records in their individual base stats. Blissey has the highest HP, Rampardos has the highest attack, and so forth.

The general strategy with this team is remove threats (i.e. physical attackers, Cresselia) and then bring in your sweepers.

Hoopa is the lifeblood of this team. With enourmous offensive presense on both sides of the phys/def split, Hoopa can rip teams apart.

Due to the nature of the team, Blissey finds itself in a semi-offensive role. Fully spdef invested, this mon can switch in on any special attacker (except Cresselia) and beat it or force it out with its own boosts. With natural cure and softboiled, it has staying power.

Regice can handle the Kyurems that Blissey can't, and with its resttalk technology, you hope it can channel its inner Crocune so long as no physical attackers (or Cresselia) remain on the field.

Regieleki is the glue that holds this all together. With spin and dual screens, this mon can enable any of your others to perform. It has been EV'd specifically to outspeed booster val, and can 2HKO with thunder.

The team is nicely rounded out with double-rock core of scarf Rampardos and Regirock. It should be Stone Edge over Rock Blast on Regirock, but Rock Blast is good if you're committed to the bit.

hey lax, big fan, long time watcher on youtube, i thought i'd share a team i put together. it's nothing too far out there but there are some novel sets, or maybe they're just a little too ambitious

https://pokepast.es/3666a24a8109e742

I'm not sure if you remember this team but I was spamming it a lot before the tera blast ban with grassy seed crown. I recently decided to change it up a bit and I've been having some success with it on ladder. Currently top 77 but with how dead the ladder is I've been losing motivation to play. Still, I wanted to share the team. It has some difficult matchups, mostly in ipress zama and lu (phasing in general), but there's still room to outplay and the wins feel very satisfying.

The team revolves around setting up for a Chesnaught or Crown sweep. Glimmora invites in the steel types who try to spin block and chips them into range of glide, or straight up kills them if faster or you get the turn right. It also has some cool interactions with gterrain, being able to live non invested gliscor earthquake (invested is a roll) and adamant dnite earthquake, and dishing out strong damage against Lu, Hamurott, and Garg with boosted energy balls. Though I don't like using tera on glim, tera grass at +1 can ohko av hamurott and wellspring and do 70-80 to Lu.

Dragapult is used to spread status or trade with its sash (though it can be hard to preserve it with no hazard control). Because it's the only speed control on the team, you usually have to get every turn right with pult which does make the team quite difficult to play. It's the team's only reliable answer to ipress zama so you always have to save it in that matchup.

Luna is the most recent addition (used to be ting lu but I felt it was too passive). It's my main answer to ghold, bolt, moth, and other special attackers, and it's great for absorbing status as well. Because it's so difficult to switch into, it often invites in physical walls that you can heavily punish with a glimm double, or early zama which makes it a lot more manageable for the late game.

Using Glimm, Luna, and Pult, the goal is to position yourself so either Crown or Chesnaught wins or forces a tera. With tera gone it's much easier to cleanly sweep with your remaining sweeper.

Yo lax here’s the lapras team I mentioned. Basically used Blim’s core of 4 and plugged lapras and val on it. Really fun team if I do say so myself. https://pokepast.es/80c6e282f8e0da3b

Scl I'm -7 preferably on the weekend

Smogon Masters, GMT-2:30, when are you available

I built this team to try and find another way to punish defog built around using defiant Gapdos and competitive spdef Milotic to try and use these guys as sweepers to combine hazard stacks with massive offensive pressure in a slightly different way. It peaked at about 1790 but I think it could've gone higher in the right hands and was a fun team to use. Anyways I hope you enjoy and have a good one!

Hi, matched for Masters; I'm +10, can generally do 5-10pm Mon-Thur, 5-11pm Fri/Sat, and Sunday from 8am onwards. Lmk what works

hey, scl I am +2, can we do sunday 9pm +2 ?

hey just saw u vouch for this faygoes character, can i get his discord

CONGRATS OMG.

Difficulty level: impossible Mono Priority Even with all your mons getting to be bulky it still is really difficult to see how something like this could win. No targeting the opp with anything that isn't increased prio, but self-target is ok.

Difficulty level: actually impossible Mono Low Priority Same as before, you still get to be bulky but even worse now because they took out a couple of the lower priority moves like Revenge and now you're stuck with Avalanche / Dtail as the most reliable options...

Yo we're matched up for randbats world cup. I assume you're in one of the American timezones. I'm +10 which doesn't really lend itself to weekday gaming, but can either do my lunch break on Thursday around 1pm or find some time next week.

Lemme know what suits.

Hi, we need to play for the randbats world cup, gen 3. I am GMT +2. I can play today evening, tomorrow almost the whole day, thursday early morning or late evening, fryday morning or late evening, saturday almost the whole day and sunday late evening.
For the week after this one I can monday, tuesday or wednesday morning or late evening, then thursday almost the whole day. The sooner we play, the better!
