Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
okay heard ty!! yeah for steel i was trying a couple ghold sets like scarf and covert cloak NP but dnite just seems to fit better, unless you think there is a better steel option
okay nice. how do you think it handles chien and pult? i feel like those two and dnite take so much playing around. plus opposing meow is annoying but that’s why i picked tera fire over water on tusk
noice ty here it is
wanted to build around cind+meow. rotom is pivot/water for fwg core/dnite check, tusk for utility + bu, garg for rocks and the dnite slot i've played around with a lot, i've been enjoying dnite for bulk+espeed but there could prob be something better. they cover each other's...
hellooo finch would you be willing to take a look at a team ive been working on? your input in the past has been helpful affff just figured i would check before spamming your wall with a paste lol
sorry i'm late to the party but i'd definitely recommend taunt on hawlucha over stone edge or poison jab! i used to use a HO team and since hawlucha is often such an important wincon people will usually preserve a way to status it, phaze it, or set up against it in some other way that would be...
ok thanks!! mandibuzz is actually working really well so far... lele is still annoying but it handles the other threats i mentioned pretty well, and with some predicting lele is easier to handle as well thanks to the psychic immunity. if its not too much trouble what are the "gaping holes" you...
thanks for the input!! are there any other swaps you'd recommend making so that the last 2 dont leave such gaping holes? even if it means swapping more than one out lol. i still think nihilego and magnezone is probably a nice combo considering nihilego can't do much against steels, with pert for...
hey pinkacross, big fan! been working on this nihilego team for a bit and i'd love your input. typical meteor beam set, rilla as a breaker (terrain helps nihilego), kart pairs nicely, mag for steels, pert for rocks and heatran, and zapdos for physdef. tends to struggle with specs lele...
thanks! i'm currently in the middle of trying colbur slowbro in place of magnezone because it handles several threats, including zapdos-galar, at the cost of making breaking a bit more difficult. i also made mandibuzz min speed because it was actually too fast in some places. the slowbro...
hey y'all happy pride month! coming back atchu to take another shot at an ss ou team. one of my favorite pokemon has always been alakazam and i think that with the proper team support it can seriously wreck. i threw this team together and after a couple edits it's doing pretty well, got me back...
I ended up getting rid of scizor a while ago but thank u LOL. i swapped heliolisk for thundurus-t and even tho its not quite as fast the electric immunity is definitely helpful. here's what i'm running now: https://pokepast.es/925094d16844f181
definitely handles rillaboom better but fast ghost...
i'm a huge fan of rising voltage - actually am working on a team using it right now! for koko i always prefer u-turn over volt switch because lando-t (or other ground types) is such a common switch in, and that makes sure that you won't lose momentum because of their electric immunity. i'd 100%...
that's really not a bad idea, i was thinking about trying out celesteela anyway in place of melmetal, and physdef garchomp would do a lot of the same things i rely on ferrothorn for. the only thing i'm missing out then would be knock off support from ferrothorn. maybe i could also try physdef...
here's what i'm running now: https://pokepast.es/e987cc642d5482e9
i haven't played with it a bunch but it's been pretty good so far. i do miss defog koko a little just because i had to put less effort into preserving pelipper, but blissey was so annoying (beatable, just annoying) and this...
