Hello, i have lost in the AAA Open and i thought i will leave the teams i used here and some thoughts for each team. I am overall happy for the way i perfomed, as i made it to the semi finals and had lots of fun! I will only leave the teams that i built, as in some matches i used teams built by others.
WEEK 1:
I saw some folks glaze Iron Hands and knew i had to try it. This dude feels impossible to kill sometimes, as it has a humongous HP stat. I paired it up with good tusk answers like stail and Zapdos.
Harc is pretty good of a mon, i can't lie. A fire type that can murder deso moltres is nice. In the
game i used it also got a crucial burn on pecharunt, securing me the win. Just like ihands, u gotta pair with mons that help you against tusk.
WEEK 2:
Thundy my beloved. Psea user that can knock regenvesters by himself. It's essentially a less bulky, more faster Zapdos but with no cane. Its attack stat is also not too bad, like ur actually gonna chunk mons like swampert with knock. It formed a dual weather core with Heatran, as they are able to cover each other's weaknesses pretty well. Regen chomp was something i randomly wanted to use so i slapped his ass on there and the Iron Crown was legit just filler.
This team was my go to team for a time after i returned to this tier after a few months of hiatus. Solid all around team. I used a lot during the lt and it was doing good against meta teams. Taunt Skarmory trolls tf outta corvi and puts ur opponent in a very awkward position where they take serious chip. This team does have a few weaknesses, which i tried to patch later down the line, as you'll see.
WEEK 4:
I was always tempted to build Meowscarada, but i could never find slots for it. I decided fuck it, let's just build a whole team around it. It can chip down teams with ease if you play ur cards right, as it can do serious damage on the switch if rocks are up. Corv shits on you tho. I also still feel bad for haxxing my opp :C
Choice Specs Zapdos cuz why not? It's basically a 2hko machine. It wasn't able to shine that much in this match, as my opp had va corv with wbb dengo. Will try giving this set a shot another time, it is very, very fun to use. For my
final match i used the mglo rmoon hstack i shared earlier.
WEEK 5:
I messed up the timezones by 1 hour and had to play on my phone while i was out with friends at a coffee shop. Intense match, as i realised at team preview that my team gets demolished by waterpon, but it worked out fine in the end. Gdos basically flips on its head matchups against mons like fluffy corv and skarm and ensures they cannot stay for a long time against them.
This was me trying to remake the mglo rmoon hstack, however it didnt serve me well this round.
WEEK 6:
At this point, it was getting a bit rough. I knew matte was gonna be a tough opp and i also had a bit of a builder's block. I think this team came out pretty good, i just didnt apply pressure w spikes earlier in the
match like i should have. My repeated use of Zapdos/ Coba caught up with me, as matte brought unholy counterplay (VA Dengo).
Saw the folks talk about big cha in the discord and i was like why not
Decent mon that can fuck up the majority of regen vesters.
I had lots of fun playing this series and i can say i improved a lot during these weeks. For any future possibilties of being your designated AAA slot for the upcoming team tournaments, please consult with my lawyer and secretary.
will be a near-unstoppable threat or will it unfortunately just get banned to the bottomless pit that is the shadow realm?
