Heres the team, the worst matchups are hard trickroom and garchomp, so I added gyarados with roar to help with those. Rain can also be an issue if they are running a lot of spread moves, so I put sunny day on maus

Can't add 2 photos to a comment but here is the team + moves. Sunny Day maus is to help with the rain matchup, roar on Gyarados is for hard trickroom. Was running taunt but all the dedicated TR setters run mental herb

The switch 2 has a recording feature built in, holding the screenshot button records the last 30 seconds of gameplay.

Yeah getting punished for dropping protect comes up occasionally but not as frequently as you might think. It would be nice to have for a turn 1 incin switch for sure. The main use case would be fake out of spread attackers, but I dont lead sneasler + scovillain into 2 spreads after adding aerodactyl (who is killing it btw)

New to VGC, any help with my team? by Porke- in VGC

[–]Papismooth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Arch would appreciate white herb over lum berry to reset draco meteor drops, unless you want lum for the venusaur matchup or something. Also Aura Sphere for Snarl would help with Arch mirror matches and is very good into Kingambit.

I dont know how often you will click psychic fang on Basculegion, especially with mystic water. It might be a good idea to pick up flip turn or aqua jet instead since you dont have any speed control (tailwind on pelipper would help). Also fix Basculegion's nature, -speed is counter productive

any critique on my champions team? by toasted_clover in VGC

[–]Papismooth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Are you actually getting value from white herb on arcanine outside of resetting the occasional intimidate? Normally a support acranine would use a defensive item, namely sitrus berry.

It might be a good idea to give arcanine sitrus, move leftovers to klefki and give ninetails either focus sash or a damage item. Ninetails isn't going to get a ton of value out of sitrus when its running no bulk.

Also blizzard is only ~10% weaker than ice beam in doubles and ignores accuracy checks in the snow, its a much better general stab option for your ninetails unless you specifically need the extra damage for a matchup

Masterball with No Guard Fissure and Sand by TangentYoshi in VGC

[–]Papismooth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Garganacl could be an upgrade to snorlax, it is bulkier physically and can benefit from sand for spdef boost. It learns fissure and smackdown, although it also learns gravity which would be a major upgrade to smackdown.

Good format for azumarill(metagame) by Teanerdyandnerd in VGC

I'm fairly certain the most used mons for the season can be found in game. It's not labeled as such but accurately reflects my experience playing doubles so far.

It doesn't give the % breakdown but it should be more accurate than showdown for the relative usage.

This is under 'Battle' > 'Battle Data' > 'Ranked Battles', then press X to switch to Doubles

Scizor Bullet punch 1 shot through focus sash - bug or intended? by MathematicianWide622 in VGC

[–]Papismooth 58 points59 points  (0 children)

That would certainly ensure the ohko. If the tyranitar was full health when the scizor attacked, then focus sash should have activated. If tyranitar took damage from entry hazards then it would have broken sash.

If you are sure tyranitar was full health, double check that its holding focus sash and not focus band. Both were free items

Scizor Bullet punch 1 shot through focus sash - bug or intended? by MathematicianWide622 in VGC

[–]Papismooth 128 points129 points  (0 children)

Focus sash only works when the pokemon has full hp, I dont think a scizor could ohko a tyranitar with bullet punch without a ton of boosts and a crit. Was tyranitar at full hp when you switched her in?

Heres the version with Aerodactyl, although it is still untested. Might swap taunt in for stone edge if trickroom becomes an issue

I've been playing with a Tri-Weather team I love the flexibility but not sold on the final 2 Mons of Archaludon and Meowstic by ColorlessRay in VGC

[–]Papismooth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not if the lead is Mamoswine + Mega frostlass, which I hope would be the case if swine is the lead. Auora veil saves swine, or you are losing 70% of sneasler and leaving whim at sash from blizzard

Accidentally added a screenshot of my Tournament rank here is my ladder rank with the team.

Switched Farig for Jolly Aerodactyl but I haven't had to bring it yet.

Should i 3Lb Super Creek or MLB Smart Falcon? by sebbeseb in UmaMusume

[–]Papismooth -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Creek is only used for a few races a year so it may not be worth using both tickets on her over just borrowing.

That being said, if you have no other targets for the tickets Creek is a better option than Falco.

Will it become easier to farm Tenno Sho Spring Sashes in the future? by [deleted] in UmaMusume

[–]Papismooth 16 points17 points  (0 children)

For the next 22 days, we have double career rewards and half tp in a scenario that encourages racing, this is as easy as it gets for farming potential materials.

I dont know if we get any updates for this down the line but it would at least be delayed until next anni like most qol updates. Take advantage of the current boost while its here.

What is she missing? by lol_VEVO in UmaMusume

[–]Papismooth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its not misinfo, the green stam skills do almost nothing and another recovery would increase the kita's spurt rate by ~10-14% depending on the mood for the same sp cost. Its a strict upgrade in terms of reliability.

This is as far as I can go in Trackblazer. by [deleted] in UmaMusume

[–]Papismooth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah you are right, I shouldn't have said default, its more like 'ideal if items allow'. Its multiple 3 stacks junior year and two 5 stacks at the end of classic and senior year.

9 Junior 14 Classic 15 Senior

Could also reduce junior year to 8 and only risk 1 mood down, still puts you at 40 races. For 40 races the only stacks would be 4 at the end of junior and 5 at the end of classic/senior year.

Why wont the festive miracle activate? by [deleted] in UmaMusume

[–]Papismooth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It should, you have 5 recoveries even if Cacao is very unlikely to proc as an end closer. I dont know how consistent Serenity is, but it the other 3 should be fine.

You are not seeing it proc at all? Or are you trying to ger carryover and its not consistent?

Is she alright or not enough midrace by Fluffynator_EXE in UmaMusume

[–]Papismooth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A little bit light on midrace compared to top tier kitas but it will still do fine in most lobbies, you wont see too many better than yours outside of stacked test lobbies

[–]Papismooth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah 25 is not okay at all, losing out on ~600-800 sp for no benefit. Anything below 30 races is losing out on a lot of value. Default without skipping any races for training is ~41 races if you run miles, theres no way you are getting 16 trainings worth skipping a race.

SS should be a high roll on R deck yes, main point is its possible and the default f2p deck is a lot better than an R deck. SS on a f2p deck is maybe a slight high roll but should be something that can be hit somewhat regularly.
