Mega Aggron 👀

daringorange-42 OP

not the worst you could do that's for sure but I'll see what I can do >:3c

crispjester-55

Nice :D
This is what I have been working on, still needs to go into testing

https://pokepast.es/53bb9341a979a3dc

daringorange-42 OP

Very solid looking!!!

daringorange-42 OP

The only thing I'd knit pick about is that you probably don't need to extend a second mega slot for having weather control when you could just just run Alolan Ninetales? if you want but this is fine :0

crispjester-55

I guess I could, I specifically chose ttar for matches into zard

crispjester-55

Rock resisting heat wave and getting spdef bulk cause of sandstorm

crispjester-55

When both mega sand gets up again after sun

crispjester-55

I will test a bit with this too though :D

daringorange-42 OP

valid

crispjester-55

Hehe, curious to see your team around the big chunk of metal

daringorange-42 OP

I'm not saying this is better but it is different lmao

crispjester-55

Haha, endeavor aggron huh, one question about your vision in play, why does aggron need the hp evs? With endeavor lower ho better?

daringorange-42 OP

true, just to survive longer tho lmao since it doesn't need attack either tho, feel free to do what you want with the EVs :3c

crispjester-55

Thanks, will test it for some fun plays on the ladder 😁

daringorange-42 OP

Keep in mind there's also other ways to do it this shell smash set is kinda high roll-y but I thought it'd be fun at least

silvercactus-53

Alright I'd wanna see your take on mega drampa

daringorange-42 OP

https://pokepast.es/2c9dc7ae4461bf66

daringorange-42 OP

hope this works out!

silvercactus-53

Interesting

coralquiver-12

build me a team with pikachu and serperior

daringorange-42 OP

I do sometimes but it's not as strong as my doubles game tbh

daringorange-42 OP

I'll just have to keep in mind this is for singles is all

daringorange-42 OP

Sounds like I have some team building to do today teehee sorry for keeping a backlog I'll get right with everyone today hopefully

daringorange-42 OP

I'm more pleased that people are approaching me is all for this >:3c thank you teehee

daringorange-42 OP

https://pokepast.es/feb3a8f841596cfe

daringorange-42 OP

oops sorry no I tagged the wrong person

daringorange-42 OP

https://pokepast.es/917bfdd0a9c009ed

daringorange-42 OP

https://pokepast.es/6a921589b9aa28a3

daringorange-42 OP

Ya unfortunately the only one I don't have done right now is team yet because I'm really crunching my brain on how to make deconstructed primarina work lmao

daringorange-42 OP

not that milo and sylveon are bad together it's just "Usually this is role compression" but having them seperate is interesting I just need to think on it longer

daringorange-42 OP

I'm just doing this tbh but of course it's subjective I just hope it's a good place to start
https://pokepast.es/f69cbe638e2d1c68

daringorange-42 OP

I wanted it to do a lot of damage and that HP threshold heals on the dot the amount it's supposed to heal instead of like x.whatever

daringorange-42 OP

156/4 heals 39 hp exactly instead of missing out on that decimile you're not healing

daringorange-42 OP

Hisuian zoroark could be a different moveset if you want I just wanted to make sure you can make the disguise last as long as possible

daringorange-42 OP

If you have ZA I highly highly highly recommend picking up your eternal floette tbh

daringorange-42 OP

prim too but that's not nearly as helpful probably

daringorange-42 OP

I just wanted to copy the moves from your other teammates but it could also be more offensive without set up too

daringorange-42 OP

You have to beat the game ya it's not easy but you will have the best pokemon in champions lmao

daringorange-42 OP

no the hp on zoro is just so it's an odd number so you have one extra health when hit by something like super fang but that doesn't hurt zoro so you can do something else if you want

daringorange-42 OP

and you don't need the dlc you just have to basically do the very last thing in the video game ;-w-

daringorange-42 OP

only if you own it not if you rent it

daringorange-42 OP
  • shrug-
    https://pokepast.es/c239201a87c041d5
daringorange-42 OP

Something like that, if you want to be super sweaty about it you could stand to pass the team to someone who knows the tier better after you test it maybe but, that's what I got lmao

daringorange-42 OP

That's their stat spread

daringorange-42 OP

so when you put them in champions you make the sliders reflect those numbers

daringorange-42 OP

but those numbers are also kind of subjective so feel free to change them if you need to measure for something specific

daringorange-42 OP

Arcanine?

daringorange-42 OP

if not you should roll the gacha for incin the new banner they added has a higher chance of getting it

daringorange-42 OP

did you get it at least? :0

daringorange-42 OP

rock slide would be good :3c

daringorange-42 OP

sorry that protect bled from doubles normalcy lmao

daringorange-42 OP

What are some questions you have or what do you want to know better? :0

daringorange-42 OP

Usually lead with tailwind but be careful for fake out, fake tears on whimsicott will boost the damage you do on the target, but prankster doesn't work when pokemon like farigiraf or tsareena are on the field because of their ability, or psychic terrain

daringorange-42 OP

Whimsicott also makes you faster but again look out for farigiraf with trick room

daringorange-42 OP

The idea was that fairy aura was supposed to make Sylveon even stronger but you have to get it lmao rip I'm sorry :/ I can try to make an alt if you need perhaps, what do you happen to have?

daringorange-42 OP

It will just have to be like tomorrow or the day after maybe

daringorange-42 OP

Try this :3c

If you want more disguise bait you could-

daringorange-42 OP

happycandle-57

happycandle-57

Manectric blastoise is a peak combo

happycandle-57

All good, was just sending the team

grandivory-22

If u can, a Mega Heracross team

daringorange-42 OP

with the meganium team or something else? :0

daringorange-42 OP

I'll be able to get around to it later I think

daringorange-42 OP

just busy is all

daringorange-42 OP

something like this perhaps
https://pokepast.es/da4a7ddcf1cdb863

daringorange-42 OP

I hope you don't mind it's double mega but? I just wanted a really good special attacker to balance out the physical attacker lmao
https://pokepast.es/a697c4615224e3df

grandivory-22

Any strategy?

daringorange-42 OP

Nothing more sneaky than what's on the face of it just make sure you think about which type of support you're bringing

grandivory-22

Shit, no glimora on champions XD

grandivory-22

fvk

daringorange-42 OP

I didn't measure it tbh I think I just made the numbers look nice lmao

daringorange-42 OP

I was in the middle of building this team but I got distracted lmao

daringorange-42 OP

If you find something better then sure

daringorange-42 OP

Or something you like more

daringorange-42 OP

Do you need an alt from glimmora? Any good special attacker will do perhaps

grandivory-22

Until I get the glimmora I cooked one thing

grandivory-22

grandivory-22

Srry for languaje but my game is in Spanish

daringorange-42 OP

someone has recommended this self burn strat before!!!

daringorange-42 OP

you just won't have guts when you mega evolve is all

grandivory-22

XD

grandivory-22

Ik

grandivory-22

But is not for play both at same time

grandivory-22

I just liked it XD

daringorange-42 OP

that makes sense

grandivory-22

Maybe I can put mega aero for chari

grandivory-22

And play 2 strategys

grandivory-22

But

grandivory-22

idk xD

daringorange-42 OP

I've been noticing dual mode teams coming up a lot lately it's just that I've been taught a singular stronger strategy is usually better lmao

daringorange-42 OP

so who knows teehee

grandivory-22

Idk and I have a tournament this saturday XD

daringorange-42 OP

for you I'd really recommend building your team to support Mega Heracross as best as you can instead of splitting your strategy up and weakening your gameplan tbh

grandivory-22

I will see

grandivory-22

I will cook B)

grandivory-22

And what about Heracross with moxie

daringorange-42 OP

so you can have an attack boost into your mega, but I see the value in having Guts as a counter to their status spam perhaps

grandivory-22

I saw about NOT play mega

daringorange-42 OP

well then guts is better probably

daringorange-42 OP

but I wanted you to at least experiment with your favorite pokemon :P

daringorange-42 OP

I had thought about Torterra before as a Shell Smash user since it couldn't get crit lmao
https://pokepast.es/12617d6d1f25ece0

daringorange-42 OP

https://pokepast.es/35c14e495beba430

daringorange-42 OP

I forgot to make it official with the name lmao

daringorange-42 OP

it's also a slow incin on purpose to use in like trick room or a slow pivot

daringorange-42 OP
daringorange-42 OP

watchog

happycandle-57

I need galarian slowbro but NO trick room
