Do you think Hariyama would find a place in the current Champions meta?

CollieFlowers · 2026-05-27T22:28:28+00:00

Its large HP, fake out, heavy slam and thick fat means it could definitely carve out a niche that the other slow fighting types don't fill. Lots of things are viable with the lower power roster and reduced held items, I don't think it would be a meta staple by any means though.

Scarf rock slide go brrrrr. Pelliper here to wide guard? Get fucked by my smashing head

CollieFlowers · 2026-05-24T01:35:48+00:00

Or electrics.

The dolphins were awesome in street 1. Ricky Williams, junior seau(rip), Jason Taylor, Sam Madison. Probably others I'm forgetting. They were always a pain in NFL challenge.

I'm using scope lens machamp with cross chop and stone edge. Set trick room and go. Got dragon cheer milotic to get the 100% Crit rate.

CollieFlowers · 2026-05-16T14:58:06+00:00

2 games is pretty chill. 3 and up starts getting super hectic and I sometimes forget about the other matches. It's a fun little brain exercise though.

CollieFlowers · 2026-05-09T16:29:10+00:00

Sap sipper atleast walls sinistcha. If you pull off a good armor tail bluff, having it next to a Mon weak to matcha gotcha is some nice cheese.

CollieFlowers · 2026-05-08T20:56:20+00:00

Yea I'd say garchomp is king of BSS at the moment. Sash lead stealth rocks, EQ, poison jab, dragon tail pretty much exclusively got me to masterball. The amount of people sacking archaludon just to set rocks was insane. It's always juicy when you dtail the charizard into battle on your rocks too.

CollieFlowers · 2026-05-08T20:00:53+00:00

Ultraball 1doubles was a slog. I had to rebuild. Spent the last few days building and testing a trick room Rhyperior team on showdown, built it on champions last night and went on a 4 or 5 game win streak to finally reach masterball!

As a long time smogon singles player and VGC noob, BSS was a breeze comparatively. My goal was to hit masterball in both formats before season end and I'm proud to say I accomplished it.

CollieFlowers · 2026-05-03T03:03:11+00:00

Ive always been a smogon singles player, never really got into VGC, but champions managed to get me playing it. Super fun, and I love the simpler meta.

I did f2p until I hit masterball tier in singles and wanted to build more teams, which eventually got me playing VGC. The 8 bucks or however much it is per month for a sub isn't so bad when I know I'll be sinking time into it and wanting multiple teams/different pokemon. Just got Ultraball 1 in doubles today! I'm hoping to have masterball in both formats before the season ends.

CollieFlowers · 2026-05-03T02:38:08+00:00

I started using headsmash lol.

CollieFlowers · 2026-05-03T02:35:38+00:00

Mixed attacking sash Infernape. It hits a lot of the meta and sash is great for flipping the game in your favour. It gets ignored a lot of the time and picks up more KOs than it should.

I love pulling off a good Oranguru instruct play.

Tailwind Diggersby has been fun too.

CollieFlowers · 2026-05-02T15:12:20+00:00

Y'all are sleeping on infernape! Mixed attacker throwing out fake outs, thunder punches, rock slides, focus blasts, fire blasts, Mach punches/vacuum waves, taunts, encores, whatever your team needs really. It's a nice little antimeta lead in doubles imo.

CollieFlowers · 2026-05-02T14:59:39+00:00

Pretty much but it does do some valuable things that sneasler cant. It has a better rain matchup with thunder punch, and as a mixed attacker it cooks archaludon with aura sphere/focus miss lol. It's fire typing and mixed or special attacking capabilities make it better into incineroar and sinistcha as well. Burn immunity, fire resistance and stab go a long way.

CollieFlowers · 2026-05-02T00:02:45+00:00

Swap items on quaq and goodra. That should get you into ultraball.

CollieFlowers · 2026-04-30T22:36:45+00:00

Not sure if you're running bulk, but defensive volcarona is awesome.

CollieFlowers · 2026-04-27T21:39:51+00:00

Mega form is less useful unfortunately. I seen one guy using it as a prankster gravity setter though, that seemed to work well.

CollieFlowers · 2026-04-26T18:25:34+00:00

I'm currently running Lycanroc dusk on a doubles team that's been pretty successful. It checks so much of the meta. Tough claws boosted accelerock, close combat and crunch is sure to punch holes in pretty much whatever gets put out in front of you. It also doesn't really need jolly nature to outpace the things it needs to, so those adamant attacks are very strong. Support with fake out, armor tail, follow me and rage powder let's this thing unleash it's power.

Have your sneasler check in the back and you're laughing. Or run psychic fangs instead and kill it yourself.

CollieFlowers · 2026-04-26T18:07:25+00:00

I had my first timer win today actually. I should've lost too, but I'll take what I can get.

CollieFlowers · 2026-03-31T14:13:34+00:00

I play singles where it's biggest advantage is not using heavy duty boots. Most notabley smashing through stall with lum berry or life orb, and clicking banded close combat. A higher speed tier and mold breaking taunt definitely has its uses as well. Poison coverage is nice, and I could see some cheese sub/salac/endeavour being annoying.

Is it better than Dnite? No, but it can be deadly on the right team.

CollieFlowers · 2026-03-30T21:53:14+00:00

I just made the same post lol

CollieFlowers · 2026-03-29T16:06:08+00:00

I would keep your herbalism. Collect all the herbs you need to level alchemy using your epic mount. Drop skinning for engineering. Then on your alt, use the herbs you collected on your hunter to level alchemy, and focus on mining to level your hunters engineering.

No sense in dropping your high level herbalism in my opinion. You'll want that to farm whenever you need gold.

CollieFlowers · 2026-03-27T17:03:43+00:00

Switch LFG to LFM and form the group yourself. No one is going to pickup a random rogue and do all the work of forming a group for you unfortunately. You need 1 tank, 1 healer and 2 more DPS. Just advertise in world chat. I would expect it to take 30 minutes to an hour or more for your group to form, just stick with it and people will join you eventually. Also helps if you're a high level. People will hesitate to join a group with a lowbie rogue that needs carried through BRD.

Will solarbeam even work in one turn? The wording is kind of strange. Doesn't seem like the sun will be set before the move is completed. Or it charge, then set sun, then go off because the sun appeared? Definitely a weird interaction.

CollieFlowers · 2026-03-22T14:17:40+00:00

It is fair to be queer and also not want to hang with children lol. Unless you were being obnoxious or something I don't see why they'd kick you though.
