    Hey pinka! can i have a hand on this team right here? https://pokepast.es/e932284d634c72e6 threw something around webs + tera flying scizor and it feels okay-ish? sixth slot is pretty undecided rn. also it kinda misses any reliable immediate power, with no choice users around, things just feel out of place but i don't grasp exactly what i could do. thanks in advance!

    None of these pokemon really abuse Webs, ribombee feels out of place-- try these mons on non-webs

    Hey, just saw your Ban Kyurem video on youtube, mind if you pass over the team with the BoltBeam Kyurem so I can use it while it lasts?

    Hey Pinkacross. Just picked up OU again and made this team. it has its high points but it reeeeeally struggles to get "over the finish line," if that makes sense. What could I change to make sure I don't keep getting reverse swept and can actually end games? https://pokepast.es/3e753f839c152524

    I'd say the issue here is the Hatterene set. You've got a fast-paced team that doesn't support Calm Mind. Try running Assault Vest with Nuzzle, Draining Kiss, Mystical Fire, and Future Sight!

    Thanks. Should I also maybe consider dropping Weavile for something like Ddance Roaring Moon?

    No, that would be HO. You don't want an HO pokemon on an offense team
    Hi Pinkacross. I was inspired by your Hoopa Teambuilding video and got to top 300 on the ladder with this team on my main account but found it wasn't quite consistent enough to get suspect test reqs with https://pokepast.es/96ce0e37de3d70ad any suggestions to make it better?

    Seems decent on paper, ladder testing is key though
    FritoLay
    Thanks again. https://pokepast.es/8b9520ec157550db i ended up settling on this. Steel roller tera steel is actually pretty nice to smack prima and things like tusk but obv ice spinner could be better in some scenarios. Anything that i could alter with the sets? Boots Bulky boots spam Hazard stack teams can be a little challenging but other styles match up well.
    Pinkacross
    Pinkacross
    Not a fan of steel roller at all, I'd go Ice Spinner

    Team seems not great, lots of playing mistakes as well. I'd recommend not playing HO, it can really hinder growth since it has a very flowchart way of playing. I'd recommend using a sample team that isn't HO or stall. Good luck! :]
    Jacoobiee
    i tried applying ur balance team builder guide around this i recently made any thoughts?
    https://pokepast.es/f6f95d327905316d

    if not any good do u have any sample teams around it?

    I don't think Lycanroc is viable but this is pretty solid for a Lycanroc team, good stuff

    Hi Pinka, 3 weeks ago I built this team, went 18-2 while testing, felt comfy with it, using it as my main since then and got a personal peak in gen9. But since last week it doesn't work anymore. I got to the 1680s so fast and easy but I am now losing games in the 1300s and feel like I am loosing MUs I shouldnt or make bad plays. Would love advice about flaws of the team
    Ty in advance Gliscor+Kyurem v.3 (pokepast.es)

    No major defensive issues I can see, but I can't see this team every breaking stall-- you're relying very heavily on Kyurem to break, and if it can't, your team can't make progress.

    Not a big fan of Drei in general, but looks pretty decent otherwise. A bit too slow for an HO, I'd add a booster speed mon over Drei
    ReneStormy
    ReneStormy
    Hey, I’m torn between Booster Speed Moth or Roaring moon. With the layout of the team, which would you recommend more?
    Pinkacross
    Pinkacross
    I'd say Iron Moth would be a better fit
    PastaMechKaku
    Could you help me with this HO brew I'm working on? Its pretty a standard structure with a couple of non-standard pieces that I managed to get to mid-ladder with, but I'm not sure how to improve it further.

    Looks like a decent hstack HO. Nothing jumps out to me as being problematic, other than an Iron Moth weakness. Maybe fit in a Dnite or run Pyshock on Ival

    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!
    TrouttyLouty
    TrouttyLouty
    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
    ReneStormy
    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
    ReneStormy
    ReneStormy
    What other mons would you recommend me to replace?
    Loved the Heracross Stream earlier btw.
    Pinkacross
    Pinkacross
    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
    Soumya Ukil
    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!
    View previous comments…
    Pinkacross
    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
    Silver Jay#2240
    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
