Any questions ask

silvercactus-53

IT IS NOT EASY MASTER RANK

silvercactus-53

Anyway here I am to give a basic explanation and help you have an understanding of what you are looking at

silvercactus-53

First of all that's proof of peak, infiltrated ladder and only 1500 not even top 1 before I tilted, not much y'all could do it yourselfs

silvercactus-53

Now onto the team

silvercactus-53

I think there are videos on it

silvercactus-53

It did really well in a regional in europe

silvercactus-53

I will not take credit this is just a recreation

silvercactus-53

Froslass was probably slower in the tournament in on itself but this is the creep you should hit in mb for staraptor and metagross

silvercactus-53

Gambit lives burned sneasler cc or at least most of em

silvercactus-53

Like the good evd ones

silvercactus-53

If he is running Lorb that's on you for staying in

silvercactus-53

Bulky Basc basic EV spread becoming more and more popular as time passes

silvercactus-53

Lyccy the yard counter ohkoing with accelerock

silvercactus-53

Gambit also lives two fairy feather hyper voices from sylv/garde mega

silvercactus-53

Bulky sneasler, I'm not sure these are the exact EVs, tried to make off of what I had seen

silvercactus-53

Probably need it a bit faster in the current meta

silvercactus-53

Maybe even jolly no attack

silvercactus-53

Yeah basic veil team

silvercactus-53

Lead is frosslass plus sneasler with gambit and Basc in the back

silvercactus-53

Unless you see a mu with a lot of steels/some trick room teams/mus that froslass struggles a lot even with help from the pattern in which you lead scovillain and an attacker of your choice

silvercactus-53

In every yard MU you should lead froslass lycanroc

silvercactus-53

Threaten the OHKO and double tect if it's Venu to bait out protect

silvercactus-53

And then acce plus blizz get a kill or get Venu to sash

silvercactus-53

Making it prio bait

silvercactus-53

In the staraptor mu which is the Mon you will see the most on the ladder

silvercactus-53

You lead your classic lead

silvercactus-53

And then blizzard hard switch Basc

silvercactus-53

Like in general

silvercactus-53

You want two ghosts in fron of staraptor

silvercactus-53

Or tailwind denial causing fross to 1v1

silvercactus-53

Without further damage

silvercactus-53

If you see a staraptor always and I mean always switch double ghost into it

silvercactus-53

Even if it's not mega that allows you to just completely shut it down

silvercactus-53

Because it's clicking final gambit

silvercactus-53

A lot of trick room teams have begun leading giraffe and staraptor

silvercactus-53

Colbur/sitrus and scarf

silvercactus-53

Clicking gambit tr

silvercactus-53

Into this your best bet is to lead fros gambit

silvercactus-53

Get defiant due to intim

silvercactus-53

Hard switch Basc on gambit slot and veil up

silvercactus-53

Then proceed to click shadow ball on staraptor and wave crash on giraffe

silvercactus-53

That gets you enough of chip on giraffe to let Gambit kill it whenever it's coming in again

silvercactus-53

And enough cheap on whatever is switching in on the staraptor slot

silvercactus-53

If staraptor doesn't switch repeat the play until giraffe is in KO range

silvercactus-53

And then blizzard

silvercactus-53

Thus you are stalling the maximum amount of trick room turns

silvercactus-53

Any more questions just ping

silvercactus-53

Hopefully someone reads the text wall

silvercactus-53

Oh and also

silvercactus-53

Try to make hard plays

silvercactus-53

High reward on this tesm

silvercactus-53

Any Mon gone makes one of your one a stronger endgame cleaner

silvercactus-53

Try to call out protects and do not be afraid to swords dance or assume your opponent is switching

silvercactus-53

Also always assume you survive something in veil until proven wroz

silvercactus-53

Wrong

silvercactus-53

Thanks for listening

silvercactus-53

Have a nice day
