Idc much about elo in showdown I mostly just use it to test team ideas
;-;
I think particularly this team turned out quite solid tho
low elo is actually more brutal to me than the champions ladder
Or you could explain to me why my current movesets are subpar and tell me how to properly fix them

True
ofc
Got it
Is it a strong team though?
I mean do you wanna test it out?
you just saw it shiny

Back in against what match up?
Ooooh
If I'm facing a rain team with Dragonite I'll most likely bring in Drampa(Drampa always outspeeds and one shots in trick room it just takes clever positioning of Incin to break multiscale)
Hatterene's also an option for that
Especially if Archaludon is in the opposing
Because then I can bring Camerupt instead
Cloud Nine as a switch-in ability and counter measures for rain is very good on Drampa
Thunderbolt will deal massive damage or OHKO most rain setters
Will most likely OHKO Mega Zard Y(And Mega Zard X with Draco Meteor)
I think it might be close
It OHKOs a speedy set zard X
with draco meteor
no beserk
at my current set
Thunderbolt is at least a great damage output onto zard y
if Hatterene or another damage dealer is on the field or chip damage from Farigiraf is there
It should go down the turn it can't protect
gambit is strong and great for trick room but
I cannot fw that guy
😭
He does fuck up Floette
He's going to come in when the field is perfect to eff it up and uh
When Delphox or any psychic mon is on the opposing
And almost never as lead since most Incins know better?
Hmmm I think I'll test more later tbh
Team building and playing competitive Pokemon are kinda just
burning me out
I don't wanna hate my hobby
wdym?
Oh burn out
tbf I think trick room is fun to pull off but like iufejied
I just wanted to make Mega Camerupt work
To me from my tests on showdown I am better at using it than Torkoal
I can't get that high 😭
I am so tired of grinding ladder
Omg
Genuinely
Champions ladder is easy so far a bit too easy infact
Infact I sometimes don't like how easy it is
15-win streak
But I can't do consistently well on open team sheet
The lack of surprise element makes so many strategies hard to pull off or just playing against a hard matchup ig(?)
Ladder feels kinda useless, not everyone will agree to open team sheets on showdown
I can't practice what's actually essential to win
there is
