I already gave you what you need to know bruh
Perishing is really fucking hard and comes with experience
It was not working
But if there is anyone who has actually fully specific knowledge, which I doubt, then yeah they can coach ya :D
I need someone who actually uses perish
As their to go strat
Not many vgc players do that lol
Also why ? Arnt you trying to get to master ball ?
Idk why you’re trying to learn perish and trying to get to masterball at the same time
THIS
Perish isn't really worth it
what else can I do otherwise bruh
What do you mean exactly

there are SO many good teams
No one knows
If they say they do they are lying
Like you have to hit some damn good plays to make it work

Example
i got this
i got to master ball with only perish last season im so cool
i got this guys
tots
totally
do u have a perish team built
already
Coming back to this
yo
me not liar trust
my pants arent on fire
We had a guy in here once saying he was a perish master
Kind of
Also claimed %100 win rate
(Not possible)
oki ill show u an example team if u wanna use ill use that as an example to explain
but wait a bit
im in an mlbb match
im n ot claiming to be a master buttt
iev only been using perish trap since the start of champions
It is though
You can definitely get 100% winrate from pokeball to mball
Are you using it correctly is the question
Like yeah I also think I can use perish trap
But I wouldn't say I know how to play the archetype
idk who decides that
I've only encountered one or two people I'd say know how to use it, and I'd not say they are masters at it
yah its frustrating asl
but i find it fun
Probably the winrate versus mu
Like there are match ups you just shouldn't lose
lol if he meant from pokeball to masterball then that makes alot more sense haha
Who winning 😭

there's a youtuber called justin tang I copied his team exactly
What happend to Kane con Perish?

Nope he was banned ages ago lol
Y?
Trading?

Uhh so usually we don’t talk about this stuff in team building
Yeah sorry
My bad
whats his team likke
also
https://pokepast.es/927cb0ba94ffde06
this is the team im running
you could replace altaria for grimmsnarl
but i like altaria better
Don't have scrafty and sableye
😭
main set if everything goes right is essentially send out mega gengar incineroar. fake out into something that threatens mega gengar and then mega gengar perish songs then protect on turn 2 on both mons hard switch gengar into anything you deem fit that you brought and then parting shot a pokemon on the opposing side if you cant parting shot on them then u can parting shot on ur own mon this is really conditional and things can go wrong
can replace sableye for
grimmsnarl
and scrafty for kommo o
you can counter the kingambit
that really kills mega gengar
If anyone could teach me staraptor teams I would be happy too
bring altaria if theres weather
But no one uses the teams I do for some reason
and tinkaton if theres any inner focus or for farigiraf
Hm
cause mold breaker
bypasses armor tail
Idh tinkaton 😭
hmmm
