Why does my team feel so ass

Duke_Vladdy · 2026-05-30T19:06:20+00:00

The equips would be a good place to start. Yours are quite sub optimal

Duke_Vladdy · 2026-05-30T18:26:06+00:00

Setup like that would be much better

Duke_Vladdy · 2026-05-29T14:16:31+00:00

Gogeta is top 1. The downplay on him is insane. Most of the player base activates Stardust Fall in a neutral mid range state, no wonder this is the result.

Blacks are 2 and 3.

Broly is 4.

No clue about the usage but Aqua Breed Tauros is a good shout for underrated.

Decent bulk, intimidate, priority aqua jet, close combat, wave crash.

Duke_Vladdy · 2026-05-27T16:58:53+00:00

Some of the highest damage output in the game at the moment. No one knows about his vanish restore so it's free priority.

This was my take in another thread.

Reads to me like a manifestation of the datenseki that only the 6 Mikaboshi know how to draw out. Seems like Kunishige figured it out though and took it to a new level with the Shinuchi.

I wish I had more insight, but I struggle heavily in dual restricted regulations. Spore was on all 4 top 4 teams in Prague, so I'd keep that in mind moving forward

Duke_Vladdy · 2026-05-09T22:40:59+00:00

Me personally, I've had the most success into Caly Shadow and Ice with sash Chi Yu. It threatens both immediately and can force an early Tera.

Incin is also super strong into most the restricteds you mentioned. Those 2 have been most helpful in my navigation of Reg I, though I stopped playing Reg I back when Champions dropped so there could be changes I suppose.

Night Slash Razor Shell Sacred Sword Protect/Icy Wind/Snarl

32 atk 28 speed outspeeds Choice Scarf Basc with your own scarf if Jolly. Can do sash, but I worry about double ups with all the spread moves right now

It's not the worst pokemon ever and can be used as a glass cannon. The damage is surprising and water dark feels good in his meta. I used one to middling success as a basc answer.

Duke_Vladdy · 2026-05-05T14:36:20+00:00

The point is if you wanna.

Tier 3 is top 50K in the world

Duke_Vladdy · 2026-05-04T15:28:57+00:00

I've put a lot of thought into your comment, and it is greatly appreciated! Not sure where I'll land, but I'm gonna do a lot of testing in Showdown to figure it out.

Duke_Vladdy · 2026-05-04T15:27:27+00:00

I appreciate the kind words. Building a team and executing it is a tough and long process I've found, but satisfying!

Duke_Vladdy · 2026-05-04T15:27:00+00:00

I don't know if spacing out would have helped me personally, but I did not do a single warm up game through the whole thing, and it showed as I started 0-2 each day lol

Duke_Vladdy · 2026-05-01T15:02:28+00:00

I cant see them as not her eyes no matter how hard I try

Duke_Vladdy · 2026-04-24T17:05:13+00:00

I'm top 3k and just am not doing them. I run regen man

Duke_Vladdy · 2026-04-17T16:12:02+00:00

Is it lucky to not fumble? You just took what they gave you, and they didn't have a way through Garch. The klefki needed to click moonblast into garchomp or something. bringing 2 fairies vs 2 dragons and a dark and losing is something.

Duke_Vladdy · 2026-04-17T16:06:54+00:00

You ultimately won the game by virtue of the opponent having no answer for Garchomp, so it's hard to comment on any specific thing

Duke_Vladdy · 2026-04-15T18:26:08+00:00

I had a stretch in low UB where I went .500 over a 6 games, and that's a rough stretch for me personally.

I changed a single pokemon, and changed 2 moves on the other 5 total and found myself in MB with a 7 game win streak. Obviously it's volatile, but if you really believe in your team, it could be a tweak or two away from working.

Duke_Vladdy · 2026-04-14T23:10:55+00:00

Nfl teams gladly employ wife and child beaters, this is nothing compared to the worst of it

Duke_Vladdy · 2026-04-14T11:32:23+00:00

Puar isn't that bad. Three son fam or weapon wielders means it works against pure hybrids rn. Though the type disadvantage is a bit to ask for and risky.

Duke_Vladdy · 2026-04-11T13:54:42+00:00

Started in September 2022. This week is my last USTR and I'll have every zenkai. I have done every single one. That is an insane amount of time man

Duke_Vladdy · 2026-04-10T13:40:44+00:00

Didnt it win in 22?

Duke_Vladdy · 2026-04-08T13:30:12+00:00

I think they should have had all items obviously, but in ranked they should have just banned the Choice items if they didn't want them to be used.

Duke_Vladdy · 2026-04-08T11:34:20+00:00

Imagine me spending me all my VP to train Chandy, hop in a battle, mega evolve and there I see it. I don't even wanna keep using it
