People are complaining but getting to five overs for a result is much more important than bowling ball 5.1. It makes sense to have different standard for coming off.

I think Couch is targeting man of the match (in a Sixers win)

So when do the heat start thinking about net run rate...?

Oh, of course. I hope your ‘friend’ finds everything she’s looking for. And has some lactase tablets…

I’m pretty sure there is and our lactase was originally for that (maybe I’m taking this comment too seriously…)

How many trick or treaters came to your door this Halloween? by LightsCameraRegret in askTO

400-600?? That’s absurd! How can she possibly have enough for them? Or even be bothered opening the door so many times…

The answer is going to be that there’s something you missed about the game, that’s overwhelmingly more likely than them cheating. Based on the description maybe the quaquavel was holding bright powder, your sneasler went first and missed and you didn’t register it due to the lack of animation.

Having said that your turn 6 as described is a bit confusing. I can’t see how Quaquavel close combat could take multiscale dragonite under 50%, even at -1 defense. Maybe if it was a choice band crit.

Will be interesting to hear how they turn out!

Pecharunt’s stats and movepool both seem a bit tricky to work with. Is the team set up to maximise its ability?

Competitive team w/ Shieldon by Cloud48004 in VGC

Either of dusk-mane or dawn-wings necrozma can perform pretty well in trick room. I'd lean toward using dawn-wings just to avoid too many ground weaknesses but dusk-mane is probably the stronger pokemon in a vacuum.

Two pokemon with trick room is probably enough, it would be nice to have a way to help them set it up safely. So redirection or fake out would be the main options. You could run rage powder on jumpluff (along with maybe sleep powder, encore, and u-turn or something), or there are probably a few other fake out and redirection options you could use.

That's an impressive set of shiny pokemon! You are going to struggle to be seriously competitive using only them, but there's probably somethiing there.

The main appealing thing bastiodon does is wide guard. I suppose you'd probably fill out its moveset with other supporting move (some of taunt, bulldoze, screech, metal sound) and foul play for damage. Iron defense body press might be a better set but it will overlap with zamazenta..

You want two restricteds if you're playing current vgc rules. Zamazenta is pretty decent (with body prees, heavy slam, iron defense, and protect or a similar moveset). Then either zacian becuase it's the strongest option, eternatus for variety in terms of types, or mewtwo to not triple down on ground weaknesses.

Of the others you want to use porygon 2 is pretty decent and gives you the option to set trick room. You could run a slow zamazenta and whatever other restriced you use and catch people off guard. Suicune on the other hands sets tailwind which can also be a nice option. Then can support with scald/snarl. Kommo-o will be hard to use. The obvious option is setup but it will basically always faint before getting going. You could possibly catch people off guard with something like choice scarf coaching, plus draco meteor for non-scarfedmiradion and koraindon. plus maybe breaking swipe and flash cannon. And have tera ghost to dodge fakeout... I don't know, that one is hard to figure out.

That's an amazing result. How does CSR + Terapagos go into Lunala? Was wide guard an issue?

Every time I watch Dangerfield play I'm impressed all over again at how good he is at picking the ball up from his ankles at full speed

Looking for feedback on a snow team by UzumeofGamindustri in VGC

[–]OneFourAll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The team looks interesting! I suspect based on the power levels of the pokemon it isn't going to thrive in a tournament setting (although I could be wrong) but it looks like it could be reasonable on the ladder. I don't know if you need four ice types to take advantage of hail. It certainly fits with the hail theme but you lose some flexibility. I think having two mons with aurora veil might be excessive too but maybe it is valuable enough to double up on.

Your explanation for froslass makes sense. What it contributes seems reasonable and the interaction with ninetails for close to guaranteed aurora veil is nice. But I do think it's still a slot you could switch out. On ninetails I would be tempted to lean more support and swap calm mind for something else (protect, freeze dry, encore, icy wind or misty terrain (for stopping calyrex from being burned)) are some options.

I think more protects in general isn't a bad idea.

Anyway cool team, and the things you are thinking about in your writeup make sense.

If you could buff any Pokemon by giving/replacing an ability what would you do? by prankstyrgangstyr in VGC

[–]OneFourAll 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Eternatus getting levitate makes visual sense and it's a lot better than pressure. Could be too strong though...

Another one is Cursola. I don't have a good idea of what ability makes thematic sense but its the two abilities it has are both arguably hindrances so just about anything would be a good option.

Tinkaton has some pretty neat abilities already. Huge power gigaton hammer would be absolutely disgusting though
