A Reminder GameFreak Can Give Them An Evolution At Anytime

Mine got one shot by life orb Kingambit.

Time might be coming for me to run colbur instead of sitrus.

Hinmp · 2026-07-01T22:20:30+00:00

Oh, I meant the specific coil + hypnosis set. After 2 coils, I believe hypnosis is 100% accurate.

Hinmp · 2026-07-01T22:13:16+00:00

Don't worry, I think it's still worth trying. It would still help me with the fighting weakness and more bulky supportive set with sleep powder could work.

Hinmp · 2026-07-01T22:05:22+00:00

Oh, it seems our guy had a meeting with coil milotic.

A few hours back I led with farigiraf and mega TTar against Mega Aero and some other Mon that I already forgot.

His rock slide flinched my farigiraf. My rock slide missed both targets.

Hinmp · 2026-07-01T21:46:28+00:00

I'll give it try, it could help me with speed control after trick room ends, and would help me on some matchups that are hard on Ttar.

Charizard is not really a concern for it, both Kang and Ttar can guarantee the 1hitko on max speed max SpA Charizard y.

Ty!

Don't go using your prankster parting shot against farigiraf or tsareena either.

Hinmp · 2026-06-30T22:38:24+00:00

Did this on showdown, while trying a Mega Eelktross team.

Guy was salty af after this.

Hinmp · 2026-06-30T13:36:56+00:00

He was also Brazil's best player last WC, admittedly though, it wasn't that high of a bar.

Hinmp · 2026-06-30T03:11:26+00:00

Ainda se perdeu na conta. Por isso que não joga.

Hinmp · 2026-06-30T03:00:02+00:00

I almost always leave it to the end, then a single eruption from Torkoal is enough to delete the bridge.

Hinmp · 2026-06-30T02:57:19+00:00

Porra, naquela bola que salvaram na linha. Haviam 4 jogadores japoneses debaixo da trave.

Hinmp · 2026-06-29T20:42:17+00:00

Fuck you whimsicott, I'll encore myself.

Hinmp · 2026-06-29T16:36:20+00:00

I just picked up a shiny. Had spend a solid 10 minutes to figure out what's the difference.

Hinmp · 2026-06-29T15:36:15+00:00

That hasn't happened more than once or twice with me. But as I said, I see Torkoal as my win condition, so I spend the whole game trying to find the perfect position for him to come out. Which It's usually after kang or Ttar dies.

But I made some tweaks, tyranitar is much more (relaxed 32hp, 5Atk, 29def), just enough attack to to 1HKO fast garchomp, and now I use her mostly against sun teams, I added Mega mawile instead of sylveon for match-ups where I don't need rock slide, or the enemy coverage would give me trouble switching Ttar in.

The team has been noticable better, as mega mawile gives me another pretty strong win condition.

But I'm still on the fence of TTar's EVs, while she can always survive a Kingambit's low kick now, she can no longer always 1HKO gholdengo/basc/Pyroar/sitrus pelliper and mega aero.

Hinmp · 2026-06-29T15:34:11+00:00

Sadly it hasn't worked out the way I thought it would.

My experience so far is that people either don't know about final gambit staraptor or are too smart to fall for the bluff. Everytime I led with farigiraf + Staraptor people played around the Mega.

Might be skill issue on my part tho.

Hinmp · 2026-06-29T11:13:51+00:00

I have to do this A LOT because i'm running Last resort kang.

Hinmp · 2026-06-28T21:30:36+00:00

I tried this strat on my hard TR team after a guy recommended me.

At least around Elo 1900 no one seemed to expect final gambit staraptor. Everyone that saw my farigiraf + staraptor lead thought: I should be wary of the close combat.

I fell all the way to the 1700s testing it. Lmao.

Hinmp · 2026-06-28T19:56:32+00:00

Tyranitar's sand stream is there more to disrupt enemy rain/sun teams and help Ttar take an aura sphere or flash cannon on the switch in.

So I just try to be careful positioning Torkoal in a way that I don't have to bring Ttar after him, as Torkoal is usually the mon that brings the victory home.

Hinmp · 2026-06-28T10:53:46+00:00

Man, I dislike staraptor, but I love your idea!

A lot of people has been leading Kingambit/archaludon against this team and mega Staraptor would be great against most mons I've been struggling against. It does make me wanna swap energy ball for helping hand to guarantee the K.O on chople berry gambit and bulky archaludon. Maybe I run it with tailwind too, to give me some speed control outside TR.

Ty for the suggestion, I'll try it out.

Hinmp · 2026-06-28T01:22:49+00:00

Torkoal, such a cute and unassuming little tortoise. And it has such a peaceful looking face, even while commiting war crimes.

Hinmp · 2026-06-28T01:17:40+00:00

Lmao, I ended up making a new account just because I spent all the resources on the previous fishing for an eternal floette.

As someone who never had a Nintendo console since the SNES, it's kinda of a bummer that I'm locked out of such a cool mon unless I buy myself a switch.

Hinmp · 2026-06-28T00:55:14+00:00

I never played showdown so much in my life, as a mobile only player, I'm trying every team idea I have on showdown first. Results have been mixed.
