Yeah been winning quite a bit but idk what could be improved thought a bunch on incins moveset and stuff
Yeah i used to have taunt on incin but replaced it and just wide guard abused but see the point
What would you advise or taunt is enough?
Yea that’s what i also thought and have the tools to do so pivoting incin and hard tr won’t be as dominant i belive maybe some drampa team or something like that
Nah i am quite well positioned with wide guard and the arch
At least the matchups i played
Those are the harder ones for sure
And basculegion also helps
For sure I’m enjoying it and gengar gets in quite nicely
And that maushold Is so nice and shiny hunting for it was rough lol
Yeah for sure i have bad matchups i just wanna know if something is missing
That bascu Is one point faster than Max speed jolly pult to kill it as it damages my gengar and is quite annoying
Yeah could be but idk how to fix that then maybe if maushold is alive i can follow me and clear It all deprnds but is meowscarada strong ?
Yeah sneasler has been a problem for sure
I have to get the right moves and the hurricane and shadow ball gengar is quite good dmg either way
Yeah love it the super fang lets me pick up some kos and me shiny hunting it was pain so I gotta use it
Been loving my team this is one of my best matches were that incin just incined https://replays.vgcpast.es//Gen9Pre-ChampionsVGC/Gen9Pre-ChampionsVGC_Toxicpieff_OzeManue_battle-gen9prechampionsvgc-192616.html
The wide guard is so nice on pelipper for sure
That’s cool I haven’t gone against mega gyrados yet
Wide gaurd on pelipper counters alot of stuff
Yep for sure it kinda walls my team but I managed to debuff it to shambles while pivoting and resetting fake out pressure
And yeah wide guard is so nice against sand teams especially
As they run rock slide and eq nearly always
Haha wide gaurd has become a meta staple ! It’s actually crazy how useful and common it is now
And that pelipper is a nightmare to deal with for me to lol
Yeah I am winning like crazy and that wg is sooo nice I am very happy with what I built and have tools for all matchups if I get good reads
