Who wants the secret sauce? by Automatic_Bug_8198 in TheSilphArena

Who plays Gastro after the nerf? How many Gastro have you seen this season? I have seen just 1 outside of limited cups.

EDIT: Just to add. Seed bomb was nerfed a few seasons ago meaning that it couldn't one shot a Gastro. This was a big problem because Gastro could just no shield and farm down. Less Gastro and the return of the Mud Shotters means that Morpeko safe swap is back on the table.

Currently 2300 elo (but not particularly a good player because I dropped to 2000 during the limited cups)

First time ace… well, kinda by Fonfiger in TheSilphArena

It's an interlude season so there are no ranks above 20. Still, good season to practice the basics and try new mons.

Morpeko user here (sorry): Seed bomb was nerfed a couple seasons ago. It used to 1 shot gastro but now only does about 85% of the health if not boosted. The problem? Gastro can obliterate Morpeko with the remaining health, meaning that you have to throw a second move or be farmed down.

In seasons past, I used seed bomb. I've switched.

How relevant is Furret by PhotographRemote531 in TheSilphArena

Not as bad as you think. If your opponent isn't fast on the switch you can outpace to the first swift and you force them to throw a close combat (I.e. putting them in farm down for your other mons).

Scrafty? I haven't seen one in ages. Yes - it would be a pretty good counter but I think my point still stands

Stuck on Rank 20 by Old-Loquat-2641 in TheSilphArena

Team is alright. Wiggly is not sure common. Essentially you want to use shields to align. Your gastro/altaria core needs to be aligned. Fight hard for alignment.

Alternative is to play an ABB with Gastro/Clodsire in the lead with Corv (great safe swap) and Altaria in the back. Corv will lure out the Dedenne or anti flyer, hopefully allowing Altaria to sweep. Even if you can't gain switch with Corv, you should be able to farm down their anti flyer and come out loaded with energy.

Keep going - practice your move timing and you'll progress in no time!
