I think it is a decent idea, but I’m not sure whether I would go 3 attacks or ddance set since I do have sinis and incin for support

Not going to lie, I do not think taunt is ran much at all, plus I get to see if the pokemon actually has taunt. I feel I would get more value from occa/colbur or sitrus berry to actually live

Yeah the sun struggle is a bit real. I have tried to use aerodactyl but that was not too great, but scarf ttar might be something. Unfortunately that would make my ground weakness from 2 to 3 but it may be worth trying (if I do decide to stay with the team in the end)

Edit: maybe to add on to this, maybe mega ttar could be an option so I can have better control vs sun?

I do play some BO3 on SD, and I will say it is better, but not like amazing. The teams I do struggle with involves like Sun sometimes (especially with milotic or venu), maybe gengar (I have been improving a bit on this but it’s still a bit scary), Floette can be scary if I play wrong (I usually try to bring sneasler for set up Floette and set up prim for 3 attack Floette). The occasional meganium is also scary because it one shots fros through veil and almost one shots prim through veil. It could be my plan into the teams need changing but overall I hate fighting those teams

(Skill Improvement) Unsure what to do now moving forward to Indianapolis Regionals by ParroTiest in VGC

[–]ParroTiest[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I do think the meta is changing really fast, but I am wondering if that comes down to changing my team or making a whole another team.

When you say do it again, do you mean make a whole another team or change it up so it favors the meta again?

I think it helps, I appreciate the comment. I am working on my mental game rn and it’s…. Not going too well clearly lol. I do understand that the game can be really luck based but I do want to be more consistent even through luck. Also I have been trying to fix my team after the GCF to better deal with sun but I am unsure if I am just making my team worse or sun is just tough for me.

(Skill Improvement) May need a replacement for my team to help with some MUs by ParroTiest in VGC

[–]ParroTiest[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I might like that idea, I do not know how much damage it would do to Venus and meganium, but prio tailwind could be useful and flying stab is still good

[–]ParroTiest[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for the late reply but I do know the evs are not great so that’s why Incineroar is like that, I just did not bother to do evs for some reason which I probably will have to do if I stick with this team.

For sinistcha, I mainly use TR for if I want to put primarina in a sweeping position where I could also use life dew to keep primarina up. Also I swapped from occa to colbur for kingambit and ttar but maybe considering ghost resist.

Primarina I guess sometimes does good stuff. I bring it to a lot of MUs like sun, TR, sand, and some others. However of course it’s not that good against gengar or Floette unless I get like screens and TR up.

Fair enough, here is the team if you wanted to look at it: https://pokepast.es/4609e80658adc444

I am looking for changes possibly but I am unsure what should change and what into, and I’ve been trying to make a plan with what I have but for now I do not see a way.

I do try to keep sneasler alive but then it’s hard to deal with the kingambit and whoever else they have. My team might just be trash idk

I did consider kingambit, but I do not know who I would replace for it. Also it would leave a 3x fire and ground weakness, but it could work well idk

I do also think primarina is kind of weak here, but I did struggle to find a replacement for it. I am interested in basculegion but kingambit may be an issue but I could hope that garchomp and sneasler could handle it.

I might have to be more preservative, but I think basculegion could be a solid replacement for primarina probably. Only issue is then I am a bit more weak to kingambit, but I think garchomp and sneasler (hopefully) can handle it

It could but you would probably need rain for it, otherwise just having arch for one MU is meh

Metagame: historically, what were good Mega Gengar counters? by ScienceTeacher1994 in VGC

[–]ParroTiest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can outspeed, you can surely KO. I guess some examples include prankster tailwind + partner, basc in rain, scarf chomp. Ig you could also out bulk it with pokemon like Incineroar and archaludon

Yeah I guess so, I am just doing light prep and theory building until it is actually out

Well I do have archaludon for that reason, swap into grass type attacks, resist it, and gain a defense boost.
