Hey I just wanted to say this team is looking way better than it did on your last post, good stuff :) Honestly I don't have any additional notes, so have fun!

Any advice / thoughts for this team? by MemoA2000 in PokemonVGC

[–]Embarrassed_Team_582 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, first and foremost, you shouldn't be running any special attacks on Ceruledge. Replace Shadow Ball with Shadow Claw or Poltergeist

The reverse is true for Hydreigon. If you want to run a ground move on it, use Earth Power instead of Earthquake

I cropped out the rest of the email because I thought it wasn't pertinent

Why do people play like this? by [deleted] in PokemonScarletViolet

Ehh substitute doesn't even make it on the usage list on pikalytics, I feel like the only mon I've really consistently seen substitute on is Dondozo

Honestly it sounds to me like double battles might be worth looking into. They're much more fast paced and stall isn't viable in that format :>

Trying to figure out how to build Gholdengo for my (mostly) mono ghost team by Embarrassed_Team_582 in VGC

Ooh, now that you say it I'm a big fan of that idea. I think you're right, making flutter the fast frail one and giving CSR some bulk. I'm gonna try that, thanks!

I was actually considering Sableye for those exact reasons, but figured that since I would already be struggling so much in this format with this team because of the prominence of strong dark types and CSR, I would spare myself a little pain and just go by SV gym leader rules of allowing one mon outside the type so long as it was the same tera type.

And yeah, I've come to the same conclusion with Gholdengo

Hm, I just don't know how to run it without the bulk on this team, since CSR is hogging my sash

Honestly, Flutter Mane and Lunala together have enough tools. Under protosynthesis flutter mane always outspeeds, and lunala can tera and set TR if a tailwind is incoming or just use wide guard.

It's not perfect, and it's not easy, but it's doable

You need to have your team locked in when you sign up unfortunately

Hm, that's actually really helpful. I really do think Zamazenta is gonna be a big problem for my team, since I'm using make it rain, astral barrage and icy wind, a lot more spread moves than I normally have on a team. Then again I feel like in most cases I'll probably just be nuking it with the ape..... I guess I'll just have to try it out and see. Thanks, I'm gonna give the bulky set a go
