Wait rapados can work really well with room service, too bad it cant take advantage of sheer force life orb.

It outspeeds calyrex ice outside of trick room and room service allows it to outspeed inside trick room too, i may be onto something like with psyduck

I’d suggest utilizing protect more, and giving Indee Tera Grass to redirect spores for ur hitters. I also suggest giving Caly-I protect.

Reply

I have a bad habit never managing to fit protect lol. I ran protect for a while but never really worked out on Caly I.

Reply

All of Caly I's moves stop something impotant that threaten it otherwise

Reply

i mean that’s completely fine

Reply

the only problem is, you have trick room on 3 mons, and no redirection for Caly to set it up himself

Reply

Other than indee who also has TRA

Reply

i do like ur Ram

I have indeene with follow me tho, plus a hatterene and indeene lead blocking fake out and taunt.

I never like running pure meta, always try to fit in weird pokemon and it works a lot

Even when i do run meta pokemon, I like running weird sets like:

Yeah, but why waste an entire move slot on arguably your hardest hitter when you already have enough mons to setup TR. Yk?

Reply

I'll try switching TR for dazzling gleam for a few matches and see how it feels

Reply

Unless you suggest another move?

Reply

dazzling is a special atk….

Reply

I do…

Reply

protect

Reply

And let me tell you why

Reply

Oooh your talking about caly

Reply

If you Follow Me with indee any attacks will 100% hit indee

Reply

i was talking about hatterente lol

Reply

if you protect with Caly and TR with your chance at not taking damage with indee increases

Reply

I get what your going at, but on caly it just doesnt feel right? idk how to explain it

Reply

Or, you can trade out TR on indee for protect and TR with caly

Reply

You’d definitely survive longer

Reply

Ill try it a bit, see how it feels

Reply

i'll run 5 matches and decide

this is the team i ran for Reg I in the ladder this past week

Reply

i got up to 1400 Elo with maybe 4 loses

Reply

Arec you in a certain reg?

Reply

I decided i dont want protect, because it feels good, but i dont like being put in front of mirdon when i cant follow me trick room with caly

Reply

^

Reply

as long as it allows 2 resticteds, i practice on ubers lol

Reply

I understand what you’re talking about.

Reply

But getting hit twice when you could have a chance at getting hit once is better

Reply

Besides, what if the terrian gets changed and Caly gets FO

Reply

then just follow me?

Reply

unless they plan to switch in something like rillabom and fake out dispite psychic terain being up, its not something that really happens

Reply

the problem with Follow Me is that it doesn’t work with Multi Target Attacks, and if they double into Caly you can protect to negate all the dmg

Reply

Rampardos is really cool . He seems like a cool iron ball Mon with his awkward speed stat

Huge attack stat

They did him dirty like my boy Tyrantrum . They both need megas
