Hi Pinkacross, would you rate this team of mine? https://pokepast.es/8e5ce24e64fe2ff0
I'm kinda struggling against HOs, especially Zamazenta HOs, so any advice to deal with that?
Hey your videos have helped me learn gen 9 as I'm getting back into competitive Pokemon but my main issue is that I struggle with making teams especially defensive ones. I just add one or two pokemon to my builder and then I'm completely lost. Do I just have go learn through trail and error or is there something I'm missing?
Hey man! I appreciate the advice you gave me on my last team, and even though i ended up not sticking with the same team, it helped open up my mind to another teambuilding idea. How's this team look https://pokepast.es/39c3cbfa0479e0fd ? My hardest matchups so far have been stall and Wogerpon, though i'm not exactly sure if the former is a team oissue or a skill issue. Love ya content!
I know this is a pretty basic OU team but I would like to climb the ladder a little bit so any tips at all woule be appreciated. https://pokepast.es/f6db27bc2a3bcdfe
Hello! Pinkacross I’ve just watched your live team building video and it turns out i’ve been doing it all wrong this whole time (I build a defensive core first then add the offense in later) so I’ve tried building a team for the 1400-1600 OU range and I would like you opinion on it. https://pokepast.es/d05f5ded497b2fd6
Hey there pinkacross, I took a break from showdown and recently came back to GEN 9 OU. I am sitting around 1600 elo but i’ve been using only posted teams (my team building skills are trashhh)
I saw some of your videos and decided to make a team myself. Hopefully you can give me improvements on this team
Hey Pinka, just a tiny question about teambuilding which has bugged me since forever. How do you know what types of support a team appreciates? I know more obvious ones (hazards, screens, weather, grassy terrain, etc.), but less obvious ones have me stumped (wish, healing wish, and aromatherapy specifically). If you take the time to respond, thanks! If not, I understand.
Hey there, getting into comp and I tried my hand at building a team around latios, i am extremely novice. What do you think? any suggestions? Im sure it can be improved immensely. Thanks! https://pokepast.es/18631e9280c3039c
Hey man, do you have any idea what would be a good replacement for Corviknight here? Or any suggestion at all? Appreciate the help! https://pokepast.es/aa119901f09dee91
Hey Pinkacross, I'm trying to dial in on learning to build balance so I can start playing tours. I can't expect you to teach the whole process of building balance in a comment, but can you help me with the first step of making a breaking core? What types are there and what is the thought process behind them? Thanks in advance boss. See my most recent attempt at building https://pokepast.es/d382e509575c93e5
Hello Pinka. I haven't built HO at all in Gen 9, so I wanted to try making one after thinking about SP Latias. I'd like some of your thoughts on this team.
Hello Pinka, If you don't mind me asking, if I'm building with Dragapult as the main focus of my team, what are the important things it needs from its teammates?
Is there a good resource for delineating the differences between team archetypes? Stuff like stall or HO is pretty easy to identify, but what separates bulky offense from balance? Or even the line between 'standard' offense vs HO?
Hey Pinkacross, I was wondering for when building Balance/bulky balance how necessary steel types are - I usually view steels as mandatory but I wanted to see how valid this was.

Hey, huge fan of your videos, you are getting me into teambuilding and this is my first try. I would really appreciate your feedback!

Hey, I made a team and would like to get your input on it. Is it good? What are some improvements you would suggest? Keep up the good work.
Hello Pinkacross. I recently watched your video about how to team build, so I decided to make this team: https://pokepast.es/53833ce40d5a6805.
It had some success, but I feel like there's something incredibly crucial that I'm missing. Gliscor and Zamazenta don't feel right on this team. Are there any improvements that you can make?
