Want help any advice is welcomed
Why was that so fast 😭😭
why would you ping twice
Because last time I took them 2 weeks to find me and I banged once so
So anyone?
I believe someone is asking you what format the team is for
Yes ofc
I would never play singles 😭😭
I dislike singles
lol. A friend is working on a quaq team with garde atm unsure if they’re keen to share tho
Keen to share is eild
Absolutely wild
Is it tho ? I find it hard to get people to share their teams sometimes haha
Some people don't want to share a team if they plan on playing tournaments with it
I mean I know it's not rare to have someone tear their team. But like I'm saying like what's the point why gatekeep
Haha I think bun will share when they’re online
They’ve been eving it to survive expanding forces behind screens and shit haha
I make teams for my people all the time
That's meta
Trying to make a meta gounter
Im working on trying to find a replacement for rikla
Rilla**
I’ve been trying to get someone’s rank 12 team all week
Won’t share it lol 😂
I asked bun if they can share their team they shouldn’t be long
Ok
Has to have morepecko tho
lol
They have perfect synergy think about it
Aqua step covers ground weakness
Elek covers flying
Dark covers psycic
Perfect synergy
I love morpeko but I’ve never been able to make him work so I’m sceptical
I see the vision
Yea
I've been making teams for a while. I've won multiple tournaments. I've been working on this more pekko team for a little bit but I can't like I can offer less of me work out megas
More pekko god my auto is so bad😆
But no I have another Discord that like I'm like the head coach of. I coach a bunch of people on this like making teams which is why I'll never understand gatekeeping teams
Meta
Meta counter
No meta allowed
🙅🙅
I like were ur head is at
Yeah well I do, I’ve shared mine with entire discord now I feel like I’m doing a draft match everytime I do a battle
But you
What would I use instead of focus josh???
Occa?
Psychic seed
On quaq
Bruh
That’s what buns doing haha
I'm not using ef
Stop 🛑
Please 🙏😭😭😭
That's literally meta
lol 😂
Only a little bit
"I'm going to handicap myself by not having a single pokemon that could be considered meta"
That's called losing
Maybe you should try megacharizarY Its very underrate
I've won a 1k player tournament with simmonsage and simasear are in the same team I don't want to hear s***
Right
Also I use flapple daily
Love the guy 😍
And I drive a Lamborghini in the ghetto
It was closed team sheets if I remember correctly lol
Good for you 😊
🙂↕️🙂↕️🙂↕️🙂↕️☑️
Where do you find them tours haha
I was thinking that
Raichu X is meta since Nice
But if they just run Metagross Garchomp I lose because Garchomp has the ground coverage
Here
Hardcore meta happy
I will not use the top 20 most used Pokemon
And I'm working on tilla
Atm
The graphs don't determine the current meta when it was brought into the meta on the last tournament the graph has
What about mega Dragonite and worlds then???
Riddle me that fine sir
Dragonite is still used and was used before that?
I was not used that's the thing
Like at all
What part of Mega Dragonite/Dragonite hasn't been meta since ScVi
Not shown in any tournaments
Buddy
Until worlds
Buddstir ✌️
We had 3 official tournaments before worlds lmfao
Oh yea I like ur dog btw ❤️
With Dragonite?
It was a meta choice in Scarlet and Violet and still meta in champions just not as much as the big 6
Also thank you he was my best buddy
Did he...
Yeah a few months ago
Sorry man 😞
Hope you feel better ❤️
It's alright, he's still in my heart and that is what matters
Got mine right here
Poor guy 😔
Anyway 😞
Any mega ideas?
He is already a go
What really is your line for meta because you are showing both Sylveon and rillaboom and they aren't exactly niche picks
Rilla is getting dropped the second I find a replacement
And slv Is literally there there for one reason One race. Normally it's because she's the best fairy type I have
Rilla is meta because there aren't any alternatives
Terrain setter with fake out and priority
He is the only one that can do the job
Xaichu doesn't have priority what are you talking about
Look I need a dragon counter ok
It's too popular
You could try glaceon
Hmmmmm
Maybe
I'm.open
Two slots for garde and male indeede
Misread my bad
Easy
WAH STOP JT
I swear to god
W garde
Hey my color looks like him
😊😊😊
Anyway
Back to team making.
what does Glaceon do exactly
Move set
Ability
Lemmme knkw
I really really wanted to
But she doesn't do enough damage for me and I can't fit her on the team well enough
😔
Idk honestly
Very bulky with some hp investment, hits like a truck with special moves and gets priority in ice shard, plus coverage for water types with freeze dry
Ight lay it out for me
Wait
If I use glace don't I have to use snow then?
??
Hey
I used her in sk ik I lover her
Don't need it tbh
So
...
Let me do some calcs hold on
Ight ✌️
Do what do you want me to do then bro 😭
0 SpA Glaceon Freeze-Dry vs. 2 HP / 0 SpD Garchomp: 232-276 (125.4 - 149.1%) -- guaranteed OHKO
32 Atk Life Orb Garchomp Dragon Claw vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Glaceon: 83-99 (59.2 - 70.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
That's it's strongest standard attack into it
Ladder:
https://pokepast.es/b69c27cb09d383d1
OTS:
https://pokepast.es/b79d3afe57afb5d1
20+ SpA Glaceon Freeze-Dry vs. 2 HP / 0 SpD Mega Garchomp Z: 140-168 (75.6 - 90.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
0- Atk Glaceon Ice Shard vs. 2 HP / 0 Def Mega Garchomp Z: 32-42 (17.2 - 22.7%) -- possible 5HKO
32+ SpA Mega Garchomp Z Draco Meteor vs. 32 HP / 0 SpD Glaceon: 135-160 (78.4 - 93%) -- 6.25% chance to OHKO
Main drawback is it's slow
Stinky gard
Still stuck on megas
They could be add idf
