Ideas for a blaziken team/core? also how do you post sprites

Use Blaziken instead of Hawlucha on a grassy terrain team. Rilla + hazards and their control + special wallbreaker/sweeper + speed control. Ripping this off the top without thinking about synergy but Tusk, Bolt, and Greninja give you top options for most of those roles and probably good synergy going off types alone.

Not sure about the sprites though

What makes Iron Treads a good choice on rain in specific?
Click to expand...
good defensive type checks most electrics we have (raging bolt + archaludon) better than tusk, spin is useful for peli and it has oodles of other utility with knock/volt/steel beam/rocks and I've even seen endeavor a few times.

edit: oh and it has decent spa meaning it can run earth power for the broken archaludon

you post sprites by going

:geninitials/pokemonname: for the big ones like :sv/blaziken:
geninitials are stuff like sv, oras, xy, swsh, etc.
 
How are sand structures defending against the onslaught of rain teams?
Seems hard to build right now a decent sand team without investing a ton of resources to Barra/Wake/Arch
I was trying Glowking but stacking 3 Ground weaknesses (Exca/Ttar) is too much for your Ground-immunity to bear in the long run

Normally, what sand has been doing for generations is load a bulky grass type that can deal with rain, the best mon for the job right now is Amoongus, even tho it lost spore It's still tanky and has regenerator so it's not synthesis dependent, nevertheless, rain is really powerful right now so that might not work that well

Would Yawn, and only Yawn, ever get looked at again? I'm not clamoring for it or anything, but I've always thought it was the most "balanced" out of the sleep options. Granted, I don't miss it on Torkoal...

around turn 24

To add onto what veti said, you can get confused if you hit a fairy with Outrage, but only if it would have been the final turn of Outrage. Essentially when you use Outrage, there's a 50% chance to end on turn 2, and a 50% chance to end on Turn 3.

Your Outrage will confuse 50% of the time when cancelled on Turn 2 by a Fairy type, and 100% of the time when cancelled on Turn 3 by a fairy type.

Just wanted to add that :)

Would a fast, frail screen setter be better than a slow, bulky one?
Click to expand...

Almost always yes, you'd rather e guaranteed to get your screens up and then pivot/switch out then to have a chance to get taunted or OHKO'd by something faster than you.

The best screens setters currently are Dragapult, Ninetales-Alola, Grimmsnarl as well as some fringe use of Deoxys-S.
 
Any particular reason Damp Rock Pelipper elects for a -Speed Nature? I get the appeal of Slow U-Turns but is there anything within that range (Ting-Lu, Blissey, Clefable, Hydrapple) where it prefers to be slower instead of faster than them?

It's slower than Ting-Lu and Hydrapple. It's slower than Hippowdon if Hippo isn't min speed.

I'm aware it's slower than those, I was asking if there's a particular benefit to being slower than those targets given 2 of those at least are Momentum Sinks anyway.

The URL should be at the top like all websites are unless you're using the app in which case you can't get the url from there
