I picked up Stadium for a bit after a 20 year hiatus. Much easier now after showdown knowledge. I ripped through Round 1 everything except Petit Cup (haven’t built a team yet there, open to suggestions). Round 1 was so easy I only lost two Pokémon total. This was my Pika Cup team...

I feel like you need rocks on either Tusk or dare I say Gambit. Also, this team looks weak to enemy Raging Bolt. It nukes everything.

I’ve used it and came to the consensus conclusion; Mega-Gyarados is a fine Pokémon that unfortunately just doesn’t seem to work as well or consistently as its competing options. It’s never “bad,” and is viable, but your team is just better using other choices. Sucks because Gyarados has been...

I love this. Fellow Keldeo stan here. This whole RMT, and the Keldeo sprite, have big horn / big sword energy.

I feel you on Fire Blast. Sucks when that shit misses. But it gets the job done: +2 252 SpA Life Orb Scovillain Fire Blast vs. 252 HP / 240+ SpD Slowking-Galar in Sun: 419-493 (106.3 - 125.1%) -- guaranteed OHKO 252 SpA Life Orb Scovillain Fire Blast vs. 248 HP / 252+ SpD Clodsire in Sun...

Nice fun looking team. Mon choices are great, couple suggestions / preferences to mention: Scovillain Tera Ground doesn’t seem that useful, as I believe you can get past Slowking with +2 Flamethrower in sun. If not, Fire Blast surely does. Tera Rock or possibly even Tera Fairy seem better...

Love It. Why Band Scizor over the GOAT Daddy MegaScizor? Speaking of Mega-Scizor, I finally got my Mega Scizor Rain to work. Here it is! https://pokepast.es/b6883faca46f9e04 Pretty brainless. I gave zero thought to the fat matchup because who cares. This team is just lay rocks and pivot...

Even in the case of Rilla, I swear by Miracle Seed > Life Orb for the SD set. Most of the benefit with no recoil. Life Orb Wood Hammer is suicidal.

Life Orb can be a great item but in my opinion is only ideal if the user has some way of mitigating the recoil. The three common ways of recoil mitigation are: Sheer Force - Feraligatr, Nidoking, Braviary, etc Powerful Draining Moves - Venusaur, Ceruledge Direct Recovery (Roost, Recover) -...

Tusk needs spinner. Not just for Gliscor. You go from beating Dragonite to being walled by it. Bad idea for sun.

FYI Dragon is a good Tera option for Zapdos if Ogerpon-W gets out of hand. Maintains the Grass resist. Also, Zapdos needs 16 SPA to OHKO with Hurricane: 0 SpA Zapdos Hurricane vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Ogerpon-Wellspring: 296-350 (98.3 - 116.2%) -- 87.5% chance to OHKO 16 SpA Zapdos Hurricane vs. 0...

I've been trying to get my old Scizor Rain team to work (same I used in Gen7) but I haven't quite figure that out yet. In the meantime, I've been using this standard scummy rain team. Its very much a Gen 7 with the goat Zapdos added. Not much to say other than its very easy to pilot and...

Forgive me if this is not the right spot. However, why is Ferrothorn not max HP where in this case max HP- 352, is also optimal leftovers recovery?

Love the team! Love Ceruledge. I recommend Flash Fire and Life Orb over Weak Armor. The set is dope, but shines even brighter with 30% more damage output (thus 30% more Bitter Blade heal!). It makes a big difference cause frankly all your calcs become kills, as well as allowing you to damn...

How about y’all give Kyurem and Gliscor a rest and go after Uberpon and Kingcheap? Give some fresh blood a chance. Uberpon is dumb stupid and there is a set that beats damn near every defensive counterplay. KingCheap needs no argument, everyone knows it’s busted but people have “accepted” it...

Deoxys-S is fine. Honestly. Lead set is best. IMO offensive D-S while great vs. offense still doesn’t break steels that well. Big Daddy (Mega) Scizor handles it well, as does M-Mawile, Iron Crown, etc. Extra fat steels like Ferrothorn, Melmetal, and Heatran can check it if it lacks/exhausts...

I haven’t played DPP in more than a decade. That said, I am a Gen 4 originalist (it was ahen I started playing mons online) and played the entire Gen. it’s good to see this being looked at. While I hesitate to remember Machamp as “broken,” it was rather onerous to play against. I remember...

Full sun is probably bad but my god I love Banded Victini. Timeless brainless mon. Click Vcreate, big damage. Idk what else to put on the team though lol. Torkoal, Venusaur, Lando, Tapu Lele, shit idk it just works as long as you get Vic in there to blow shit up. Also Victini completely...

Here to plug the baller Miracle Seed set. Admittedly I haven’t played Rilla in a while. But listen— SD, Glide, Knock, Hammer @ Miracle Seed is legit. +2 Hammer is fucking nuts and you can clean up squishy teams with Tera +2 Glides.

I still use rain. Love the post-Tera meta btw. Kingambit eats rain alive unless you bring one of the following - Sam-H (Banded), UrshifuRS, Keldeo, or your own KG. Crawdaunt I tried but is too frail so it’s shaky. IMO, Sassy Pelipper is best because it can switch into ZardY. I use special...
