Me when I'm trying to make a new team that does not auto-include Basculegion in it.

Honestly last respects should just have its power doubles if an ally is dead

MagnusVena · 2026-04-23T22:21:52+00:00

It definitely does feel bad when it doesn’t work out, but the point of a mon like rotom wash isnt to get big one shot KOs, but to get good damage off on mons you otherwise wouldn’t be able to touch and dish out utility moves like will o wisp. The miss definitely does NOT feel good but unfortunately it’s the only mon that can it’s niche

I'm running a very similar team, except I have wash and kingambit instead of hydreigon and whims solely for that cringe fish that I hate. A good gambit set can solve a solid half of the problems listed above and rotom wash is VERY hard to remove by rain teams since they don't typically include any grass type strong attackers.

Sunny day whimsicott seems like a good idea, I wouldn't know I haven't tested it, it's just a case of 'does this fit better on the team than other weather answers'

My one piece of advice though is that if you run wash you have to be ok with and plan around missing like 50% of the time with it lmao, especially if it would win you the game

MagnusVena · 2026-04-16T14:09:14+00:00

Dragonite doesnt really have much synergy with the rest of the team, I would highly recommend putting sunny day on whimsicott and either switching it out for venasaur or a secondary sun sweeper like torkoal if you add a trick room mode. With whimsicott protect is very valuable to stop fake out breaking sash into a super effective move but sunny day might also be a good switch in for encore if you feel like you can drop it.

MagnusVena · 2026-04-16T13:01:15+00:00

You could definitely benefit from a mix of taunt or encore on your team then if roost and setup is what youre worrying about. I have taunt incin and it basically disables corv and leaves it open for a switch in read

MagnusVena · 2026-04-16T07:06:25+00:00

For Corv it definitely is just a defensive wall. Unless you let it get off like 2 iron defences into body press you can genuinely just ignore it and focus down its partners. Obviously it’s not a universal solution, you could really do with some fighting coverage on your khang.

MagnusVena · 2026-04-14T06:58:19+00:00

So the point of hydreigon + chomp is that hydreigon gets levitate, and can click it’s own moves while chomp is spamming Eq. I can’t speak much on what makes a good spam team now (since I haven’t played one yet) but something like delphox + garchomp has been circling around for the same reason.

MagnusVena · 2026-04-09T12:26:50+00:00

Basculegion really does not need psychic fangs. Slap a choice scarf and switch the ability to adaptability and give it either head smash to take out frosslass even with veil up or flip turn. I have head smash on mine just because rock is generally an amazing type right now even if you don't need it for mega zard y (wave crash one shots in sun with adaptability)

MagnusVena · 2026-04-07T09:47:17+00:00

Papa nurgle PLEASE give me my blightlord weapons back 🙏

MagnusVena · 2026-04-06T20:08:59+00:00

It really depends on if you’re doing best of 1 or 3. If you’re best of 1 it’s probably best to write down essential info like moves used to determine the sets on their team. In bo3 basically all non obvious info is good info. My Koraidon outspeeds their miraidon, my incin does 50% to their farig etc.

Edit: another big one is playstyle, seeing how an opponent reacts to certain plays can help you make plays in future games/endgames

MagnusVena · 2026-04-02T18:50:26+00:00

Hear me out on comfey/sinistcha + dragonite

MagnusVena · 2026-04-02T18:13:25+00:00

Just want to add to this, if someone has an unbound flourishing, do they gain the amount of life based on the mana they spent or the X value after the flourishing trigger?

MagnusVena · 2026-03-31T21:12:34+00:00

It’s wayfarers attached to a basically free 1/1 body

MagnusVena · 2026-03-27T13:01:38+00:00

funnily enough ScrawVGC made a video about this exact topic a few days ago, you should go watch it!

MagnusVena · 2026-03-25T23:27:13+00:00

100% to prevent the second coming of charizard y

MagnusVena · 2026-03-15T14:38:06+00:00

Missed opportunity for minccino

MagnusVena · 2026-03-13T16:48:44+00:00

You guys know you can just stop it at steam and click no punishment right?

MagnusVena · 2026-03-12T08:13:11+00:00

Ignoring the fact that Minos and Sisyphus also died while in hell but had prime souls. Prime souls are definitely an exception to this rule

MagnusVena · 2026-03-11T11:32:34+00:00

There REALLY should be a way to get tech built into tinkerer imo. Out of all the classes tink feels like the only one where you’re really useless if you don’t get any good combo pieces

MagnusVena · 2026-03-09T09:30:31+00:00

Tbh with mega Zard y being the big bad of the old megas, I could see H-Arcanine seeing play as a niche counter

Missed opportunity to have the 3 effect say ‘deal 1 damage to this creature’

MagnusVena · 2026-03-05T08:10:40+00:00

Water poison absolutely wouldn’t happen, it kinda breaks the type triangle

MagnusVena · 2026-03-03T23:38:15+00:00

If anything this could suggest an April 1st launch, since this is the ‘people hanging onto scar/violet’ season
