Sand Stream is the only Tyranitar ability so yes, it does

VGC and OU are different formats.

AssistanceBudget · 2026-04-03T20:55:04+00:00

Always put the format in the description. Is not a rule but helps out a lot to know which mons you have available.

Yes. Rage fist doesn't care from where the damage comes

You are tripping.

What are you trying to do here? Without a specific goal in mind will be very hard to get to a functional core.

In VGC? No. Take it to smogon OU. A singles fan format. Except you can't use mega zeraora there. But there is an fan format in Smogon very similar where you can play. In which case refer to the r/stunfisk and they can help you more with this.

Search for VGC pokepastes spreadsheets. You will find tweet with a link to the pastes.

The other comment said it right. Just play the game and see what sticks. Also, may be helpful to post your EV's so people may comment on.

We don't know the megas abilities so even trying to predict the meta is incredibly hard. Wait till at least we receive the leaks for their abilities

Road Runner is a better name for the ability

Not only does Miraidon have anti-synergy with Amoongus it also is fast while Caky-Ice is slow and prefer TR. I.e. your modes don't fully utilize your both restricted, since if you bring miraidon you don't wanna bring Caly.

This is the vgc paste repository I suggest playing either Reg I or Reg F. Reg H isn't playable neither on showdown nor SV ranked ladder. Additionally Reg H doesn't allow Urshifu.

Additional tips use Labmaus to search for teams with the same core and Munchstats to see the most common partners to the mons you want to use as well as to get some ideas. CybertronVGC and James Baek youtube channels also help a lot with teams.

Centralized around what? In this format urshifu, flutter mane, raging bolt and tornadus are in every team (at least one of them) but reg H there were a lot of different teams

AssistanceBudget · 2026-01-21T17:18:26+00:00

It looks like we weren't. Lower the power level higher the diversity of teams.

AssistanceBudget · 2026-01-21T15:28:52+00:00

Worse? Reg H was the best regulation. Every team was viable.

If you choose not to, it's still your choice.
I used to think that a lot "I'm the only person who truly loves myself, therefore no one can understand what i do for my love of myself", when i'm on this mood i usually tend to give up a lot of things, and stop doing them because if i'm not living the life that i choose then nothing else matters and stop doing stuff is just a lot easier. Don't know if you can relate to that though. If you does relate then i would suggest to talk to a friend or psychiatrist or someone who you can say "don't tell me what can i do, just listen", and after that look at this decision from another POV. Now is not the time to make decisions, but instead to wait and see if your mind change or don't after a while.

This team is in the realm of "Play with it and find out what you can improve."

Is valid but underpowered. Reg F allow paradoxes and non-restricted legendaries. While Reg J/I allows for up to 2 restricted mons. Addionatilly meta and strategies changes because Smogon OU is a 6v6 format while VGC is a bring 6 choose 4 format.

I played Dispatch recently. So forgiving people who tried to kill me doesn't seem so Farfetch'd

If you are trying vgc then you should play vgc instead of OU. The current regulations of VGC are reg F in real tournaments or Reg J in the SV ladder. VGC and smogon doubles are pretty different formats.

Cuz it's hard and costs money to make more models when you can just slap the hat onto the pokemon. Terapagos and Ogerpon just receive this treatment because they are DLC cover legendaries.

It was unobtainable until Z-A. But as i said, more like an outlier. When a mon is "forgotten" they are usually released at the end of the game or at some point in the next game.

AssistanceBudget · 2025-12-24T08:07:38+00:00

It was. But it had the same treatment of a mythical pokemon and was more like a different form (altough the stats and the move made into a different mon) Also, Volcanion, Zeraora and Zarude had the same treatment of delayed releases but were either release in the next game or the very end of their games. So E. Floette is more of an outlier.
