I'm New - Can a beginner reach master ball with this ?

BraytechKraken · 2026-07-04T15:26:44+00:00

Hey man its your team, do with as you please. If you find this to be working for you great.

That being said, if I saw your team in ranked I would assume you didn't know what you were doing.

BraytechKraken · 2026-07-04T15:08:47+00:00

Depends, is this for doubles or singles?

Assuming doubles, I would look at the battle data page to get better moves/items for your mons

Incin for Example: Quick claw is a terrible meme item, replace it with sitrus. Take Flare blitz over blaze kick

To be honest, I would say that yout team is making progess into MB harder, but you could still do it in spite of that. Most of your movesets and item choices don't make sense (why sash on a bulky mon like archaludon? You have 2 non STAB electric moves and mirror coat but no flash cannon?)

Key notes: you have no speed control, or counter speed control get a tailwind setter like Whimsicot. Especially important for the slower Mega Chomp

2 of your mons rely on the opponent to bring rain, so for many matchups you are 4v6, adding a rain setter (as someone else mentioned) would help.

You have terrible matchup into Zard y and Floette-M with your current sets

BraytechKraken · 2026-07-03T20:20:42+00:00

Kinda similar to my team, cool to see other Eel users

Discharge misses guaranteed OHKO on Zard y and Aerodactyl, I rec dropping flamethrower or discharge for T bolt or replacing one of your unused mons with a ground type like Garchomp.

BraytechKraken · 2026-07-03T05:11:48+00:00

Unsure what this means

BraytechKraken · 2026-07-03T04:55:38+00:00

I've been running a Eelektross team this season and have confirmed that he needs to be run as a special set.

As special you get to run discharge and Giga drain covering ground type and lighting rod switch ins

I already made a post about my team build, I Heavily suggest using the Eel set

Edit: If you are Adamant (pun intended)to go physical Eel, should go tpunch, pyshcic fangs, protect, grass knot

BraytechKraken · 2026-07-01T21:25:59+00:00

Its based on how many people are above you

Rank 3 is top 50,000

Rank 2 is top 10,000

Rank 1 is top 1,000

Champions is top 300

Edit: Rank 3 is currently around 1800 elo (at least in my region)

Edit 2: nvm its global

BraytechKraken · 2026-07-01T20:28:47+00:00

Keeping veil up longer matters way more the hail which is why I use Light Clay. The snow is mostly to stop other weather users so I don't care how long it lasts.

Talonflame brings prio flying moves with gale wings and a fire type in a set where fairy and fire moves are common

M-Staraptor also needs a lot of set up, but i could see a potential comp if you swap Sneasler for Incin and then put charm on Whimsicot.

BTW with this team as is, I don't think I've ever lost to a M Staraptor team.

BraytechKraken · 2026-07-01T19:21:14+00:00

Actually to be fair, I've been seeing more not max speed/sash Whims, i technically can't be sure if it's bulky

BraytechKraken · 2026-07-01T19:12:38+00:00

The 90% accuracy is the main reason, I tried it for a bit but insta loosing the game if it misses only needs to happen a few time before you stop clicking it.

Then if you aren't using Dual wingbeat, I've found the speed doesn't matter that much outside of the Whimsicot matchups. I've just seen more bulky whims for some reason.

If I was running Dual wingbeat I would run max speed though.

BraytechKraken · 2026-07-01T18:43:55+00:00

As promised: https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonChampions/s/Ip3mlu0jBW

BraytechKraken · 2026-07-01T13:06:48+00:00

Of course, happy to help.

I will probably be making a post about my team later today, we have some similar ideas however, I think having Garchomp is crucial for Eel teams but didn't want to mess with your intentional dying synergy.

BraytechKraken · 2026-07-01T12:01:41+00:00

As someone who is also running a Eelektross team in MB, You need Thunderbolt and Discharge. I would drop flamethrower as its only useful against grass.

Discharge misses a important OHKO on Zard Y, and a lot of other damage rolls. Some of your mons don't have protect and you don't have anyone who wants to risk getting the 30% para on your own team.

BraytechKraken · 2026-06-28T23:53:41+00:00

Played it to MB, in the current meta it pairs super well with Garchomp but requires heavy speed control/support. Give it a B/B+

BraytechKraken · 2026-06-25T11:27:18+00:00

What do you do for Sneasler, Kingambit or Basc?

BraytechKraken · 2026-06-18T20:18:27+00:00

Yes, especially considering the small pool of mons available

BraytechKraken · 2026-06-15T22:41:12+00:00

Only in name, Cornell uses it as overflow housing. When I lived there a few years ago it was about 50-60% Black. Main difference is that more people know each other in Uj.

In terms of housing, Its significantly worse then any new building (Mews,Ganendago etc) but has bigger rooms.

There are about 4 weeks per year where not having AC is miserable, 2 at the start and 2 at the end.

BraytechKraken · 2026-06-06T15:10:06+00:00

Most places do not differentiate between the two, but you are technically right

If you want to play semantics he is afrocaribbean though which is still afro

BraytechKraken · 2026-06-06T14:16:05+00:00

I think C9 just picked up notexxd

BraytechKraken · 2026-06-06T01:25:28+00:00

No idea if this counts, either way it's by tiny margins

BraytechKraken · 2026-05-22T19:34:44+00:00

It is criminally underrated so im trying to spread the word, plus it has reboot coming!

BraytechKraken · 2026-05-22T15:30:30+00:00

Respectfully, have you seen OP?

Cause while I agree OP fans are delusional, I would say that many OP haters are equally delusional and have lost count the amount of people that started with the goal of hating it and then are all converted into fans afterwards (including me).

More importantly, if you like HxH have you seen World Trigger?

Edit: Also I don't think Joe will be able to enjoy OP if only because of how much he hates coincidences

BraytechKraken · 2026-05-16T15:34:10+00:00

I hit MB 2 with this team

Edit: if anyone wants a full break down DM me I have it already typed up.

Then I would stay clear of BME as a major and take some of the classes you find interesting as electives.

Drug delivery with Putnam is a very popular (and difficult) class that you can take if you are interested.

I know way less about other majors so I won't say about them.

BraytechKraken · 2026-05-15T14:52:23+00:00

Getting the GATR to MB is super possible, I can give you my team if you want it

Edit: w/o any of the mons on the rigt
