  • 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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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

    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.

    Great, we'll do this via Discord then. :]
    Hi Pinkacross, recently got into Pokemon Showdown. Been playing around with some teams, but have been having the most success with this Sun Team. Gotten as high as 1600, but kind of hit a wall there. Let me know what you think, and if Sun is viable in gen 9 OU

    https://pokepast.es/f2d62df9f55f03ad
    Pinkacross
    Pinkacross
    Sun is definitely viable. Run Choice Specs Wake here, running Spatk boosting Scarf is really not great, and your team is already quite fast. I'd rather run +Speed CB Roaring Moon.

    Mostly you misplayed Alomomola here. You had no reason to play the game so fast, you kept trying to put on offensive pressure at the expense of your team's health. Instead you should have played slowly and kept your team (Dragapult and Ting-Lu in particular) healthy with Alomomola Wish support.

    Hey Pinkacross, I love to use scarf samurott hisui, but I am not sure how to build around it, by testing I think rillabom band its actually pretty good with him but I dont know what else to add, here a team i build but i dont think its great

    The evs spreds are kind of random to be honest
    Pinkacross
    Pinkacross
    This team is extremely weak to Great Tusk, Ice Spinner + Headlong Rush is a very difficult MU. This team also doesn't abuse hazards particularly well, try putting Hrott on an Offense team that wants Spikes.

    Hello Pinkacross. I believe this is my third time here. I've been trying to make Rhypherior work in OU, but it's not really working. The Pokepaste is below:

    https://pokepast.es/a06e645d1e0cb3ce

    Rhypherior is designed to outspeed Hydrapple, and Tera Bug is for its resistances + STAB on Megahorn. I would like your thoughts and improvements for this team if possible. Thanks!
    Pinkacross
    Pinkacross
    I don't think Rhyperior is viable honestly, but I'd recommend Tera Blast Ice over Megahorn.
    hi pinkacross!
    I've been trying to build a team around Fezandipiti after I saw storm zone mention it in ou chat. In theory this team functions as intended and fezand has been super helpful against zama, dpult, ival etc., but I feel like there's still room for improvement. Can you please take a look? https://pokepast.es/66e907494b846f48

    This seems pretty solid, how's it doing on ladder?

    Hey Pinkacross, been enjoying the recent streams especially seeing they way you build around a mon. I made this specs enamorous team and would like to get your feedback on it. Also sorry that I keep asking you for your input, hope it's not too much.

    What about making one of my mons tera grass?
    Pinkacross
    Pinkacross
    True, that's a good point. Perhaps running Specs Enam and CB Dnite just isn't sustainable, at least not with current support. Perhaps replace Enam with something stronger against HO, and go Hydrapple over Dnite-- this team is weak to Wellspring to the point where you need a super solid answer
    Over Thinker
    Over Thinker
    Yeah I'll consider that but another thing I am considering is replacing Alo since that is the main root of my Wogerpon weakness. Plus I don't think it is as important as the other members but I'm not sure
    Hi pinka! big fan of your videos, And I watch a lot of your streams. Can you tell me how to improve this crawduant rain team ive been working on? I was trying to get crawdaunt to work in OU, It was by no means a full rain team, But kind of a side core I could use.
    Pokepast.es/a800ea16f633624e
    Pinkacross
    Pinkacross
    I don't think Crawdaunt is viable on OU rain, but this doesn't exactly feel like a Rain team-- I would recommend deciding whether to go full or semi rain first, full Rain definitely needs Damp Rock Pelipper and shouldn't have a Chilly Reception Glowking, for example.
    SableyePog
    Gotcha, I think I could commit to a full rain team with things like barreskewda and basculegion.

    Hi Pinka! Using a neat core of RM/Mol/Crown to resist the type chart, but having trouble slotting in the other three. Current version has Rilla as prio, Alo as a cleric, and Tusk as strong ground dmg, but currently having trouble against fast s.atkers since Crown folds to mons like Darkrai/Pult, along with slotting in s. dmg for zama and such. Open to any suggestions!

    You have no SR setter, which is a major problem. RM needs it to break, BADLY. Go SR on Tusk over BU, as for the Darkrai issue there's no easy fix, I'd go CB pult over Roaring Moon

    Heyo Pinkacross
    I tried building around kyurem and banded tusk and went with more of an offensive team. I topped 1790 with it so far and it feels decent. Kyurem does a good job at breaking the more fat teams, but I have lost to HO a lot during these ladder sessions and I don't know if it's me or this team. Would love your opinion and advice on the team!

    https://pokepast.es/67c6103072a9870d
    Pinkacross
    Pinkacross
    I can see why HO is scary, you're essentially using a very old team that struggles against a lot of current-meta sweepers. Try removing Tusk for Landorus, and you may also need to replace Enamorus for a faster Choice Scarf user or a Dragapult/Zamazenta.
    dunderguy
    hey, i wanted to build around okidogi because i feel like it can check darkrai pretty well and can stallbreak easily, but i feel like this team needs some major tweaking. can i have some advice on it?

    https://pokepast.es/3ae5799a408462c5
    Pinkacross
    Pinkacross
    Currently this Okidogi loses to double Regen and any Tera'd Gliscor, I'd give up on the plan of Okidogi breaking stall. Go Bulk Up over Taunt, add SR to Tusk, go Spikes on Skarm, and HDB on Meow. Then you'll be breaking stall much better.
    dunderguy
    dunderguy
    Thank you, Ive noticed it straight up loses to Zapdos and special attackers in general so I might tweak my defensive core a bit, but I will take your advice on Okidogi and the rest!

    Yooo I was gonna bring this up during our battle (gg wp btw) but if u ever need background music for a stream or video, ur welcome to use this remix I just made (or anything on , you don’t even gotta cite me or anything lol.

    Ah cool! Thanks for sharing! :D

    Hey Pinkacross, love your vids
    Could you please take a look at this team I made? I tried building with Latios and my friends seem to think it's alright, but I don't really have any friends with a good eye for the tier so I'd appreciate if someone at your level could give their opinion and you seem to be chill about this stuff
    https://pokepast.es/98afcc7cd70b03e3
    Pinkacross
    Pinkacross
    It's definitely not bad, I do have some concerns though. It seems like your team relies VERY heavily on Latios to break, and it's not exactly a reliable breaker. I can't see this team winning against stall, for example. Have you been having trouble against bulkier teams?
    Sylveon HRT
    Sylveon HRT
    I'm not sure I've actually played against a stall team with it yet, but I do see how it'd be a problem to break it ya.

    Kingambit is very scary though, you may want to consider swapping something for a more solid answer

    I switched tinkaton for TIng lu and made Gliscor physically defensive: https://pokepast.es/33cc4e62af3aaa72
    Does this help? More options are fighting cvg on gholdengo and Grasspon.
    Pinkacross
    Pinkacross
    Hmm yea I would say you're solid against Gambit now, it's not ideal but I think it can be outplayed. Testing is king though, see how it does on ladder

    Hiii pinkacross, i love your guide videos, and i have a walking wake, great tusk sun team that i really like but sometimes it feels weak agaisnt certain teams, maybe you would like to take a look at it, and improve it for me :D, feel free to use it in your YT videos if you want to. https://pokepast.es/d173273d4a0b0053

    TY, im conflicted beetwen adding roaring moon or brute bonnet, i like roaring moon for the dark STAB and knock off, but also i also like brute bonnets for the Dark stab, and then i alos have something strong agsint rain teams, because of its bulk
    Pinkacross
    Pinkacross
    I'd say RM is superior, bonnet isnt doing so hot in the current meta with corvskarm everywhere
    Over Thinker
    Hey Pinkacross, hope you're well. I made an Ogerpon-W team. I've been doing pretty well with it but would appreciate ways of improving it. You can even use it in your next video. https://pokepast.es/564c0a7e2fd240a4

    My concern is that it does a lot of the same stuff as Glowking, feels a bit like defensive overlap. What is the team struggling against?
    Over Thinker
    Over Thinker
    Mainly Gholdengo but the problem I have faced is that often my counters to certain mons get overwhelmed making other mons bug threats. For example, one game a Dnite took out my Lando and Zama swept.
    Pinkacross
    Pinkacross
    Oh yea, Zama is a problem for sure. You could go Gambit over Weavile and Pult over Weezing, the another option I see is Defensive Gholdengo over Weezing.

    Hey Pinkacross! Big fan of your vids and the recent Hoopa-U live as well :) I've been enjoying Choice Band Hoopa recently in this Bulky Offense Team and was wondering if you could take a look at this team! I've been trying to replace Kyurem (Lati/Ghold/Enam) since I get the feeling its time in the tier is limited...

    Kyurem version
    Pinkacross
    Pinkacross
    Speed is your main issue here. Specs Pult over SPecs Kyu would fix that
    Lfrith
    Lfrith
    Thanks! Just one more question, I was also taking a look at your Hoopa-U live team and was wondering if CB Hoopa could be viable in that team at all? I know without HDB and no hazard clear it might be difficult but I thought perhaps alo's wish passing might help with that!

    I tried out something here, any thoughts on it?: https://pokepast.es/796e055890fbdbba

    Interesting concept. I like this, for the most part. Please test it and LMK how it goes, this interpretation is sick
