    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

    What are your thoughts on it?
    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.

    Hoopa-U and Cornerstone come to mind, those might work well here-- Cornerstone sturdy also helps with your HO problem

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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

    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.

    Not a fan of Slow Tusk here. You lose to Kyurem on preview to be honest, Freeze Dry super effective against everything. DD Roaring Moon looks unbeatable as well. I'd recommend testing on ladder, recording all the weaknesses, and adjusting the team to improve it. One immediate improvement is fast offensive tusk
    I wanted to make a trapinch team so I made this in like 5 seconds, I know it’s bad and it’s really just for fun but I want to push it to be as good as possible. How could I improve it? <<view-team-888885-czr4z8ngo2iv9xzetosv>>

    Shoutout to you. When I first started playing your YT videos helped me acclimate to this gen and improve rapidly. I've been enjoying this snow/hail team that's performed well above my expectations and would love to hear how you would improve it. Cetitan probably sticks out but I'd prefer to have at least one mon on the team that is an actual snow/hail abuser.

    I'm happy to hear you've found my content helpful! To be honest, I think Cetitan is unfixably terrible. I'd say the best set is probably HDB 4 attacks... maybe Belly Drum 3 attacks, probably still with HDB though. I'd recommend comitting to the HO idea more. Go DD Kyurem to take advantage of those veil turns, and give Heatran SR.

    I've been experimenting with AV tblast poison Azumarill in OU and it's been performing well for me; do you think it has potential at a higher level? I'm only around the 1500s

    AV Azu sounds ok. Outclassed by Primarina for the most part, but it does have priority, Knock Off, and much better Physdef. I could see it working on some Bulky Offense / Offense team.

    You should do a challenge where you fill up your a box in actual s/v with each row and collumn is a team.

    I will not be doing this, since my channel doesn't do in-game content.
    Hey I know this is suboptimal but I was having a lot fun in the lower tiers with dragon dance Gyarados. I wanted to build a team around it and this is what I came up with, what are your thoughts/what would you change?

    Thanks for your time!

    Given the existence of Kingambit and Raging Bolt, I'd recommend Sub on Gyarados, probably over Waterfall. The rest of the team honestly doesn't make much sense with Gyarados. Gyarados is a very inconsistent sweeper, so I'd either put it on Offense or Hyper Offense.
    Pinkacross
    Pinkacross
    The rest of the team is a Balance, so probably either Gyarados will sweep, or you'll feel like you're playing a 5 pokemon team.

    once I started using wellspring, Kyurem, Gambit, Ghold, and all that I had a feeling that was like why am I trying so hard when I can just use the broken pokemon. Do you have any tips to beat stall without a breaker that does nothing most games? I don't want to hear hazards.
