Welp
I m always here bro
Yoii bro
I mean sun toxipex is sun toxipex
Oh, how did the match go?
Bro lost due to that stupid giraffe living on 1 Hp
And 2nd round kinggambit live on 1 Hp
RNG was the biggest enemy
Damn
RNGesus giveth and he taketh away
Yupp so i modified this team
With removing scarf on chomp
And adding ninetails
For countering the mega aero and chomps for other teams
Even zard Y is also getting knocked out too
So any suggestions for this team or stats spreads for focus sash chomp works?
Ok ok, so ninetales is def a bit odd with sun but it makes sense
Against garchs
Yupp
I want to make Yard Y slop more broken
I came up with ice
Because sand can't work I tried many things to work Yard Y with sand
Ok well you should use freeze dry
You can ohko pelippers without sashs and all swamperts if you are spa+
Nobody rly uses sash garchomp so can't rly say
I think dragon claw or like haben or smthing makes more sense
Should expert belt will work
I need to run damage calcs for it than
Kinda... tbh I don't rly see much point in damage boosting item garchs anymore
Most of the yards are putting so much bulk just to survive it so I think its better to just pivot to being more defencive
Ohhh okay so I should build a bulky chomp ryt can u give me stats spread for the bulky chomp
I don't use chomp
Im a dnite enjoyer they don't mesh well together
So I have no clue what bulky garch looks like
Ohh okay bro thanks for the advice though
I will search for bulky chomp stats spreads
any ideas for bulky chomp stats spreads
14hp/20atk/32spe
Got it
So I change the moves also ryt like rock tomb , stomping tantrum, protect and dragon claw
Not blocked by wide guards ryt
nope same thing rock slide eq tantrom and dclaw
just try to position well
Protect as well ryt
Ye
Okay got it i guess
why protect on scard
scarf*
Garchomp is not scarfed
Alolan ninetales is scarfed
oh i didnt see lmak
I changed the team a little bit
if you are going for bulky then no need of sash
give it like haban berry
Yeah I will go haban
yeah
I change this sun toxipex team to my benefit make the Yard Y slop more broken
chnage encore on tales
It would be fun to mess with opponents heads
and is special garchomp mega is a thing ?? Should I use it in this team
Uhhhhh
I mean it is a thing but like
Its more of bo1 tech
Wouldn't rly recommend it
Yoiii
i made top cuts bro
