daringcomet-52 OP

I’ve been using this mega Froslass team for a while and I’ve been struggling with floette teams, sylveon teams and metagross/ hisuian arcane teams. Any ideas on how to fix this? Also please don’t recommend incin, sneasler, kingambit, gholdengo, or farig

daringcomet-52 OP

Btw this is for bo3 open team sheet

cleverinbox-49

Well hisuian arcanine won another tournament today

cleverinbox-49

Like 3 tournaments in the ladt week

cleverinbox-49

So having a bad matchup into it prob aint good

cleverinbox-49

2 things

cleverinbox-49

Your whims and armarouge sets are rly odd, both should prob have protect

cleverinbox-49

Also mental herb whims aint good and I think colbur is better for armarouge

daringcomet-52 OP

I already changed it to Colber already

cleverinbox-49

Ok good

cleverinbox-49

Whims can have fairy feather ig

cleverinbox-49

Also while this doesn't always apply, having a second mega could be rly useful to fix your bad matchups

daringcomet-52 OP

Oh ok

daringcomet-52 OP

Who should I replace and for who

cleverinbox-49

Hmmmmm

daringcomet-52 OP

And also what about the floette matchup

cleverinbox-49

Ye thats what the mega should Ideally be adressing

cleverinbox-49

Steel types share weaknesses with frosslass so imma ignore em

cleverinbox-49

Ooh wait glimmora

cleverinbox-49

Glimmora usually uses ninetales tho and you are using frosslass

daringcomet-52 OP

Wait

daringcomet-52 OP

Glimmora doesn’t really support Froslass defensively

cleverinbox-49

Ye

cleverinbox-49

But offensively it does

cleverinbox-49

And like the steel mons share the fire weakness

cleverinbox-49

While the fire mons share the rock weakness and don't deal with floette as well

daringcomet-52 OP

But fire isn’t too much of a problem

daringcomet-52 OP

Because I have a flash fire Pokemon

daringcomet-52 OP

A water type

daringcomet-52 OP

A dragon type

daringcomet-52 OP

And a rock type

cleverinbox-49

Well the other issue is that rn the steel megas you can use are metagross, scissor and mawile

daringcomet-52 OP

So

cleverinbox-49

Mawile only rly functions with tr, metagross shares ghost and dark weaknesses

daringcomet-52 OP

What if we don’t use a mega for that

cleverinbox-49

So you'd have to use scissor who is good but like is quad weak to fire

@daringcomet-52 What if we don’t use a mega for that
cleverinbox-49

Ye you could do that but then what matchups do you want the other mega for?

daringcomet-52 OP

Charizard, kingambit, archaludon, basc

daringcomet-52 OP

The mega could deal with those

daringcomet-52 OP
tidyheron-18

Yo

daringcomet-52 OP

Yo

daringcomet-52 OP

You have any idea

tidyheron-18

Toxapex

tidyheron-18

https://klipy.com/gifs/pokemon-toxapex-1

tidyheron-18

Resists Char and Float + Infestation can help you pin down drizzle/drought so you can win weather easier

tidyheron-18

Also protects you from heatwave and dazzle and rock slide

tidyheron-18

Wide gaurd

daringcomet-52 OP

Oh yeah that’s true

tidyheron-18

It’s weak to psychic and electric but you have Garchomp and Frostlass

daringcomet-52 OP

True

tidyheron-18

That or Hisuian Archanine

tidyheron-18

https://klipy.com/gifs/arcanine-pokemon-4

tidyheron-18

Might be a better fire type for your team then armarouge

daringcomet-52 OP

If I do archanine then should I replace lycanroc

tidyheron-18

Ye

tidyheron-18

Swap armor with Toxapex

daringcomet-52 OP

Ok

@daringcomet-52 If I do archanine then should I replace lycanroc
tidyheron-18

Ye

tidyheron-18

You only need so many water weaknesses

daringcomet-52 OP

I got a problem tho

tidyheron-18

Give your whimsicott its sash back

tidyheron-18

?

daringcomet-52 OP

But what about archanine

daringcomet-52 OP

It has two quad weaknesses

cleverinbox-49

Thats fine

tidyheron-18

Scarf

cleverinbox-49

It won like 3 tournaments this weak as I was saying

cleverinbox-49

The most recent one use lorb, one used scarf and I forgot abt the 3rd one

daringcomet-52 OP

I saw one with sash

tidyheron-18

The Mutt has Rock and Fire Offence, and high attack. In this meta that’s a lot of coverage

daringcomet-52 OP

True

tidyheron-18

Plus intimidate

cleverinbox-49

Ehhhh depends

cleverinbox-49

Most that I've seen use rock head

tidyheron-18

You can pair that with veil

cleverinbox-49

But intimidate aint bad either

cleverinbox-49

Depends on what item you use tbh

tidyheron-18

Ye

cleverinbox-49

Rock smash is insanely powerful but it is 80% accurate

daringcomet-52 OP

I think rock head would be better

tidyheron-18

If it’s not 100% it’s 50%

daringcomet-52 OP

I know

daringcomet-52 OP

Trust me

tidyheron-18

If you use Archanine you don’t need Toxapex

daringcomet-52 OP

Why

tidyheron-18

He resists fairy and Fire

daringcomet-52 OP

Toxapex has wide guard support

tidyheron-18

True

daringcomet-52 OP

And can lock mons in

tidyheron-18

Add Mega Gengar

tidyheron-18

:smile:

daringcomet-52 OP

Two ghosts types

tidyheron-18

I’m joshing yah

daringcomet-52 OP

Oh ok

daringcomet-52 OP

So should I keep whimsa the same or sash it

tidyheron-18

No Protect on none sash Whim?

tidyheron-18

In Open team sheet they things getting aggressively touched

silvercactus-53

What is rouge doing

daringcomet-52 OP

I wanted to run lightscreen

tidyheron-18

He’s swapping it for toxa

@daringcomet-52 I wanted to run lightscreen
tidyheron-18

Grim? Or add Alolan 9 tails

tidyheron-18

Light screen veil 109 speed never does one wrong

daringcomet-52 OP

I already have Froslass

tidyheron-18

What’s Wong with having double blizzard?

daringcomet-52 OP

And whimsa can set tailwind

tidyheron-18

A9 can’t let you win weather war without having too return Frostlass

cleverinbox-49

Double ice type?

cleverinbox-49

Idk that sounds a little big dangerous my friend

tidyheron-18

He has counters

cleverinbox-49

You need a mindset change for this you cannot get away with playing safe with this

cleverinbox-49

You wanna get home put it a-all on the line

cleverinbox-49

You gotta use ruthlessness, every trick every spell put to use for this

cleverinbox-49

You gotta put an end to all this foolishness

daringcomet-52 OP

Also I wouldn’t matter if I win weather war if they just get melted by heatwave

cleverinbox-49

You wanna get home put it a-all on the line be dangerous

@daringcomet-52 Also I wouldn’t matter if I win weather war if they just get melted by heatwave
tidyheron-18

Wide gaurd/Protect/or swap into the mutt

tidyheron-18

Or tox

tidyheron-18

If you know there going to heatwave, that’s your sign too bring in Arc and threat an instant KO next turn

tidyheron-18

Up too you in the end

daringcomet-52 OP

Yeah but I would want to switch in ninetails to win weather wars

cleverinbox-49

Nobody got the reference :Politoed_By_Sifyro:

@cleverinbox-49 Nobody got the reference
tidyheron-18

Nope

tidyheron-18

Set

tidyheron-18

Sry*

daringcomet-52 OP

Which will most likely be against Charizard

cleverinbox-49

Nah its fine, not that many people watch obscure musicals

@daringcomet-52 Yeah but I would want to switch in ninetails to win weather wars
tidyheron-18

Plus. Who cares about heatwave

tidyheron-18

You have so many counters too charzard on this team

cleverinbox-49

Ye just dodge all the fire damage

tidyheron-18

LOL

tidyheron-18

Or that

cleverinbox-49

tidyheron-18

The mental herb is not going to give you enough value

tidyheron-18

It’s okay to play off meta

tidyheron-18

But you can’t afford to be un optimal if you do

cleverinbox-49

Well I mean using tsareena and whims prob not a good idra

silvercactus-53

That look nothing like this

tidyheron-18

LOL

daringcomet-52 OP

I have never heard of Italian ice

daringcomet-52 OP

The team

cleverinbox-49

Frosslass, kingambit, sneasler, scovillain, lycaroc and the last guy

@cleverinbox-49 Italian ice?
silvercactus-53

Italian ice is the one I was using?

cleverinbox-49

Forgot what the last mon was

silvercactus-53

Yeah no

@silvercactus-53 Italian ice is the one I was using?
cleverinbox-49

Ye

tidyheron-18

He don’t wanna use sneasler

silvercactus-53

It's basc

silvercactus-53

And no I was not referring to it

@daringcomet-52 I’ve been using this mega Froslass team for a while and I’ve been struggling with floette teams, sy…
tidyheron-18

^

cleverinbox-49

Damn ok

silvercactus-53

Even if I do believe it's not fucking outdated still which is insane

daringcomet-52 OP

I am aware of that team

silvercactus-53

I was referring to the Blaziken team running around

silvercactus-53

I think kelsch covered it

tidyheron-18

Lmao

tidyheron-18

Lowkey

cleverinbox-49

I think I've heard of it

tidyheron-18

Not a bad pokemon

cleverinbox-49

I do think one of rotom or toxipex could be replaced

@daringcomet-52 Still didn’t change whimsa’s item tho
tidyheron-18

Dude

tidyheron-18

Just do it

tidyheron-18

Being scared of Encore when you have encore is a skill issue ✌🏾

daringcomet-52 OP

It allows me to encore other mons

daringcomet-52 OP

Without worrying about encore

cleverinbox-49

If encore is that terrifying to you, add a dark type

cleverinbox-49

Like gambit

tidyheron-18

☝️

tidyheron-18

He won’t tho lol

cleverinbox-49

Ohr you don't want him

cleverinbox-49

Or incin

cleverinbox-49

And hydreigon won't work

tidyheron-18

That’s solid

cleverinbox-49

What other dark types even exist rn?

tidyheron-18

Having Parting shot too win weather war + fake out

@cleverinbox-49 What other dark types even exist rn?
tidyheron-18

Grim

tidyheron-18

Savleye

tidyheron-18

Spirit

cleverinbox-49

Oh ye

@tidyheron-18 Spirit
cleverinbox-49

You'd have to be crazy

daringcomet-52 OP

Incin is the first one I mentioned

@cleverinbox-49 I think I've heard of it
silvercactus-53

It's like some Froslass Blaziken lorb dragonite shit

tidyheron-18

🤣

@silvercactus-53 It's like some Froslass Blaziken lorb dragonite shit

cleverinbox-49

daringcomet-52 OP

I have a shiny of it in champs

cleverinbox-49

Dnite supremacy

tidyheron-18

Encore is not a big deal

tidyheron-18

Just swap

tidyheron-18

Just switch the pokemon out

tidyheron-18

It’s a speed tie anyways

tidyheron-18

For you to encore THERE whim

@daringcomet-52 I have a shiny of it in champs
cleverinbox-49

Crazy? I was crazy once. They locked me in a room. A rubber room. A rubber room with rats and the rats made me crazy

@tidyheron-18 For you to encore THERE whim
daringcomet-52 OP

If you checked my whimsa is intentionally slower

tidyheron-18

daringcomet-52 OP

I’m not running max speed

All this to get one shot by Sneasler/Gambit/Char/Anything with blizzard

tidyheron-18

You’re free too run whatever you like. My unprofessional advice is too just put the sash on the Cotten boy

daringcomet-52 OP

Ok

daringcomet-52 OP

Sash max speed

cleverinbox-49

Ok

cleverinbox-49

Ye I looked at the dark types and unless you want support you'd need to use incin

cleverinbox-49

Most of the others are terrible

daringcomet-52 OP

Incin?

cleverinbox-49

Incineroar

daringcomet-52 OP

I know who it is

daringcomet-52 OP

I just don’t want to use the damn cat

cleverinbox-49

I was just looking for ways to punish the encore you were worried abt

cleverinbox-49

Why don't you wanna use farig again?

cleverinbox-49

Its a rly nice mon, doesn't rly ever feel unfair

daringcomet-52 OP

I have never liked it

cleverinbox-49

Ok

daringcomet-52 OP

This is version 3 of the team

Discord sent us an expired image link.

View on Discord

cleverinbox-49

Ok I don't wanna mentally hurt you but maybe

cleverinbox-49

Just maybe

daringcomet-52 OP

Do what

cleverinbox-49

You could replace one of the water types

daringcomet-52 OP

With who

cleverinbox-49

I just like no type overlap teams thats all

cleverinbox-49

Idk

daringcomet-52 OP

Oh ok

cleverinbox-49

I mean I do have a type overlap now but trust me I tried to use sinistcha + metagross, never used the damn tea cup so I had to switch to farig

daringcomet-52 OP

I think it would be fine because of their different weaknesses

cleverinbox-49

I do think rotom is kinda out of place, usually people run either scarf or screens and you are running neither

@daringcomet-52 I think it would be fine because of their different weaknesses
cleverinbox-49

Fair

daringcomet-52 OP

I could run screens

tidyheron-18

Heliolisk

tidyheron-18

Over Rotom???

tidyheron-18

That’s my off meta ball of the day

daringcomet-52 OP

I would absolutely have to switch eq

tidyheron-18

Naw

tidyheron-18

Just click blizzard

daringcomet-52 OP

And I would have a ground weakness

tidyheron-18

Just click blizzard

daringcomet-52 OP

It does help with ghosts tho

cleverinbox-49

Ground is resisted/immuned by flying, bug, grass andddddd I think thats it

daringcomet-52 OP

Rotom has levitate

tidyheron-18

Give Heliolisk ally swap

tidyheron-18

Now you get too play mind games with last respects

cleverinbox-49

I mean rotom freeze would be funny

daringcomet-52 OP

No
