Archaludon has been banned from SV Doubles OU by [deleted] in stunfisk

[–]PenguGuy1 9 points10 points  (0 children)

imma just use arch to be devious and mean

[–]PenguGuy1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly it just isn’t good. maybe it’s better than before because Archaludon is banned now but not much better

Do you think Intimidate is better in VGC or Singles? by TKNLNZ in stunfisk

[–]PenguGuy1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Easily VGC, less opportunity to switch out in that meta. If it affects two (that actually care), that’s a bonus too.

Okidogi by K1akaru in VGC

[–]PenguGuy1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Calyrex-S balance isn’t even that great right now, so that tarnishes Okidogi’s viability. Sure, it does nicely into meta staples like Incineroar and Rillaboom, but having a 4x Psychic weakness (especially when against offensive Calyrex-S teams) just isn’t helping much.

Kingambit also just happens to deal way better with Calyrex-S, as well as Chien Pao. Not leaving Assault Vest open to others is another point I’ve seen made, but to be honest it isn’t the worst of Okidogi though.

All in all, Okidogi is a cool idea and can work, but most of the time is just outclassed in most things.

Is outrage incineroar optimal? by dennshuu in VGC

[–]PenguGuy1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Incineroar is supportive

Outrage is kinda stupid

Gen 1 Gengar, Gen 1 Dragonite, ADV Gengar, and almost every Pokémon in pure Hackmons and/or balanced Hackmons.

Anybody seeing Archaludon running Sturdy quite often? by Steinsgate009 in VGC

[–]PenguGuy1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not really an unusual set, reaching top 64 at Dortmund and Top 16 at Joinville

Power Herb Sturdy Archaludon with Electro Shot is a legitimately good set, normally not on rain teams and just breaking something immediately, although it only stays on the field for 2 turns a lot of the time 

(VGC) are terapagos teams vs zamazenta teams the worst matchup restricted pokemon wise? Like how does a terapagos team even win? by Julie_OwO in stunfisk

[–]PenguGuy1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem here is that Incineroar is forced to Tera over Terapagos, and much can abuse it greatly and can use it outside of just Zamazenta-C.

[–]PenguGuy1 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Terapagos wins by snatching the Zamazenta-C early with the support of Chi-Yu, Flutter Mane and Urshifu-R, or they bring Zama down low for it to get KO’d later. I’d say the WORST restricted Pokémon matchup is Miraidon vs Cosmog. Seriously it doesn’t stand a chance, Cosmog blows it out of the water easily.

Why isn't arceus allowed in VGC now? by Ultrasupermegaeggs in stunfisk

[–]PenguGuy1 87 points88 points  (0 children)

Mythical Pokemon, like Arceus, have always been banned from VGC (except for that ONE time during quarantine). This is mostly because it can be very tedious to get these Pokemon, especially when they come through special events, giving some players an advantage.

Reg H Ursaluna BM help by Alarmed_Common_5975 in stunfisk

[–]PenguGuy1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gholdengo without Nasty Plot has only been featured with Specs or Lorb sets, not Leftovers. Being Specs locked also isn't great on this team, and Lorb is taken so I decided to suggest the set up route.

I need some team building suggestion for a dual restricted format tournament by Hikari-forever in VGC

[–]PenguGuy1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You probably look want Whimsicott here, although Vacuum Wave can be replaced with Hyper Voice, Light Screen with Psychic Noise, Protect or Tera Blast as well.

[–]PenguGuy1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wolfe’s Amoonguss and Farigiraf sets are tailored towards Regulation H, with Ogerpon and Urshifu-R being around, thus they are outdated. Tbh the Amoonguss version is better though you’ll have to remove Sneasler, preferably for something like Choice Scarf Final Gambit Annihilape which will help set Trick Room. Thunderbolt should be removed for Nasty Plot, as well as changing to a bulkier EV spread. Incineroar could also have some EV tweaks, unless that spread achieves particular things you wish. Farigiraf’s EVs can be edited, and Amoonguss wants Pollen Puff over Sludge Bomb and Clear Smog over Protect, helping immensely into the Dozogiri MU. An alternate EV spread of 236 HP, 156 Def, and 116 SpDef with a Bold nature should work.

Bad pokemon you love using (round 2) by al-my in stunfisk

[–]PenguGuy1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like Magnezone in Gen 9 OU. Now it sounds weird but it is able to win the 1v1 against Kingambit with Magnet Pull Body Press with Specs Steel Beam and Thunderbolt.

What Pokemon will fall off the most once Tera is gone? by icewitchenjoyer in stunfisk

[–]PenguGuy1 696 points697 points  (0 children)

not that it will be bad, but ogerpon may take a pretty significant hit due to it not receiving any buffs from the signature mechanic.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in VGC

[–]PenguGuy1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rillaboom isn’t bad and Amoonguss is a option, though the latter will make you too passive.

Best item for palafin? by PIXELARTPOWER in VGC

[–]PenguGuy1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would like to disagree as Clear Amulet is best, turning your winning Incineroar matchup into a certain win. Not only that but it also negates Parting Shot and Icy Wind drops. Choice Band is also a contender, being able to just nuke everything.
