heres the best advice: quit
get off champions and do something
2000 elo is enough, give me a chance to catch uppp
😭
same lwk im only 1700 ish
same here lol
thats what casual battles are for, but then again, not the same skill level opponents as ranked
I dont really like drampa
i think you would be able to find another trickroom sweeper othen than him
hes just there dealing some damage lol
i dont like pokemon that dont synergize as good as other pokemon
who do you think would synergise better ?
I'd need to check at home
I could help what do you need ?
I’m really good at team building

Waiting
Haha I am unsure just a look over the team see what you think
Theirs lack of protect for a reason I am curious if EVs can be optimised for better bezerk rates
And if I can squeeze a little more spa onto farig
Oki
Farig can’t die to light of ruin
Need him to live a little bit like he does atm

Time to go to de damage calc
Some problematic matchups you are worried about?
Blastoise
His very annoying
Torkoal @ Charcoal
Ability: Drought
Level: 50
EVs: 26 HP / 6 Def / 32 SpA / 2 SpD
Modest Nature
There it is a torkol
With optimise bulk
I shall test him
Ah and wah
Use dark type berry
Not sitrus
I did use dark type I just swapped to sitrus
I legit had the same idea but I am not really good at piloting the team. I have almost the same team composition. I would love to work with you to make this work and make our way to champion!
Not enough taunt so I can afford to fake out the king
I think that that will make the blaistoise and kringe matchup easier
Brooo this is like a finished team
They just need more evs details
That's what I am saying. I would be very grateful if he talked about how to pilot it though ;-;
Wahh is a tr master
Could you drop ah fire type attack for protect in torkol?
?
That would be pretty useful
Seems to be a real Pokemon Master indeed
Definitely ! It’s really basic tbh
Incin farig lead is like 90% of the time
Then you put like who you think is good in the back based off the other team
I have been meaning to add a thing for it because the new players are finding it really easy to pilot to master
Are you in stream rn ? I’m testing against a friends teams
I gave it a try and I gotta admit most stuff complete obliterates me. I suck at playing offensively without spread moves. So managing the Mega Mawile is hard.
I am working on Arash Ommati's team. If you could help it would be huge. I play mostly Protect The King Style
Watching you play yes!
What one ? ;o
I dunno
Maybe heat
Or earth power
Torkol has not a lot of attack
So you don’t get a lot of damage of an earth power
what about the 10% of the time?
im building a TR team, basically same thing except i have psychic terrain instead of protect on farig, expanding force instead of psychic on hatterene, and crabominable instead of mawile
Uh I’d depend on the situation theirs alot haha
Ah nice. Only click terrain when farigs going to die and doesn’t have much else to do
Otherwise not enough value
alr ty
