gentleflame-23 OP

I lwk kinda wanna change the Milotic to a Kingambit to improve the TR Psyspam matchup but like

gentleflame-23 OP

of the tree can you share your wisdom on what I should do for my team to improve against the Psyspam matchup?

merrykitten-85

Of tree ? lol

Make the salamence tanky.

Swap Ninetails for peli for wide guard
Usually psyspam comes with sun

merrykitten-85

To hit steel

@merrykitten-85 Of tree ? lol Make the salamence tanky. Swap Ninetails for peli for wide guard Usually psyspam come…
gentleflame-23 OP

But Aurora Veil feels so nice to use though

gentleflame-23 OP

:0MG_NOWAY:

merrykitten-85

It would but the team doesn’t really benefit greatly from that mode in my opinion

merrykitten-85

Rain does suit this team

gentleflame-23 OP

But that basically means I gotta win the Mance v Mance without an ice type

gentleflame-23 OP

Cos Milotic feels weird to use for me

gentleflame-23 OP

It's strong defo

gentleflame-23 OP

but trying to use it to farm competitive boosts is weird

gentleflame-23 OP

Guess what I'm fighting now lol

Hey Merrip

briskmirror-98

You have Milotic for mence you could afford to either drop icy wind and run ice beam alongside coil muddy water hypnosis (which is a crazy set tbh but has acc worked) or just go scald icy wind ice beam protect/recover (i think protect is better)

briskmirror-98

Hypnosis is the best move on coil Milotic by far

@briskmirror-98 You have Milotic for mence you could afford to either drop icy wind and run ice beam alongside coil…
gentleflame-23 OP

I know MW Hypnosis Coil is not crazy I've died to it before

gentleflame-23 OP

:DelphoxFeral:

briskmirror-98

I meant having ice beam on that instead of recover or even protect is odd

briskmirror-98

But for your team would make sense to help into the mirror

gentleflame-23 OP

Meh, Icy Wind is a 2HKO

gentleflame-23 OP

Into most Mances

gentleflame-23 OP

Maybe 3HKO cos I'm basing this on the fact that a Competetive Boosted Milo can kill a Mance in 1 hit

briskmirror-98

Ye it should be

briskmirror-98

What’s the reason you chose no hypnosis but coil?

gentleflame-23 OP

Cos I'm honourabole

gentleflame-23 OP
  • cos I dont wanna

briskmirror-98

You are not honourable my friend! The mere inclusion of Milotic has sullied your honour and you may as well go all the way now

briskmirror-98

But that’s valid

@briskmirror-98 You are not honourable my friend! The mere inclusion of Milotic has sullied your honour and you may…
gentleflame-23 OP

No cos I shoot cat till it dies

briskmirror-98

I mean if the teams working out there’s nothing to change

gentleflame-23 OP

It indeed does not work against Hard TR

gentleflame-23 OP

Can't stop it

briskmirror-98

Yeah you have no matchup into it because your team doesn’t have protect on a lot of mons

briskmirror-98

Maybe if one of your mons learns taunt or roar or you can run dragon tail on Milotic lmaoo if desperate

briskmirror-98

Then you can at least deny it in some cases

gentleflame-23 OP

I'll try putting a Peli on my team like Wah suggested first

briskmirror-98

Good luck
