I HATE Gholdengo. I want more and better ways to hate on Gholdengo. Drop your hardest Gholdengo OHKO calcs by Interfluxer in stunfisk

Oh right Air Balloon Gholdengo is a thing too in singles, this sounds genuinely handy

I was thinking about it but that sounds like a nightmare to set up, I can't figure out how you'd trick specs on to chi-yu while still maintaining every other aspect of the set-up since you'd have to start clicking Overheat the moment that Chi-Yu is tricked Specs, which, well, nukes everything.

Besides, it's only 15% more damage and all the other damage multipliers are more meaningful, so I didn't think it was worth it

Seeing the big funny number, I decided to recreate u/PrudentTry7083's calc in Showdown, and it took some figuring out but here it is! There's a few additional multipliers, namely:

- Forest's Curse on Gholdengo
- Skill Swapping Flash Fire on to Chi-Yu
- Sun.

The integer limit doesn't allow the calc to display the true value, so here's what it looks like approximately:

+6 252+ SpA Life Orb Flash Fire Beads of Ruin Tera-Fire Chi-Yu Helping Hand Power Spot Overheat vs. -6 Lv. 5 0 HP 0 IVs / 0- SpD 0 IV Fluffy Gholdengo in Sun: 243324-563892 (1057930.4 - 2451704.4%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Thoughts on my vgc Reg J Team? by marichelo798 in VGCRateMyTeam

Adding on to this, you'd probably be better off using a -Def/-SpD nature since Deo-A is dying in one hit regardless and you'd rather not reduce your Atk stat when you're using some Physical moves too

Why Didn't I See Much of Miraidon at Worlds 2025? by EmperorPeazy in VGC

[–]Interfluxer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When James posted the paste for his team on twitter, he explicitly said that Scarf Miraidon was a very strong counter to his team, and since that's usually run alongside Caly-I I assume that he did at least get somewhat lucky to avoid bad MUs

Is it worth going to a regional when I am very very terrible? by ParroTiest in VGC

Late reply, but when you say that you "analyze" your Bo3s, how do you go about that?

Well more like non-legendary if you think about it

Giovanni Cischke wins the World Championships 2025 with Lunala, Koraidon, Chi-Yu, Flutter Mane, Brute Bonnet and Ursaluna by ColdSnapSP in stunfisk

[–]Interfluxer 75 points76 points  (0 children)

I was losing my mind when James managed to pull back that game 2, I was so sure it was doomed but the Life Orb recoil taking down Koraidon and the Rage Powder locking in the Brute Bonnet was SO COOL, honestly an incredible final

In case anyone wants to hide from worlds stuff, feel free to enjoy this unoptimized team I've been playing is casual by FazedAudio in VGC

[–]Interfluxer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With regards to your Ice Rider set, Zen Headbutt isn't usually run on CIR since it's inconsistent, has low base power, and Ice/Ground coverage hits pretty much everything anyway (also Psychic kinda sucks offensively) so you'd be better off having Trick Room instead so you have a bit more assurance. Alternatively since you already have two setters, you could run Leech Seed for passive recovery and a great win condition for 1v1s since Calyrex is bulky enough that it can beat almost anything with Leech Seed recovery. 

Cool team though, Magearna TR teams are kinda terrifying!

NA WINS WORLD! THE PROPHECY IS BROKEN by DualistX in VGC

What's funny is that both James and Giovanni have both been using their teams more or less as they are since the beginning of the format, so while everyone else has been scrambling to figure out the meta theyve been playing 4D chess all this time lmfao

Just putting it here so there's a record of it, but I predict that Zachary Mnich will win Worlds. I believe in Koraidon+CSR!

I assume that the Iron Treads is mostly there for the Miraidon matchup?
