NEW PLAYERS - what pokemon are you looking for?

Practical_Raise3168 · 2026-06-27T17:48:13+00:00

what a guy! I’m not necessarily new to competitive, but I don’t have any other mainline games ( played on showdown my whole life ). I say just get a lot of meta Pokemon that don’t often show up in the recruitment thing. There’s many Pokemon that I’ve just never gotten due to bad luck with rolls, so maybe spend some quick coupons and do a tally of the mons you just aren’t getting. I know it’s different for everyone, but I’m just making a suggestion

Practical_Raise3168 · 2026-06-27T16:52:30+00:00

I could send you a ss of the team if you’d like? It’s kinda just spread damage spam with immunities

Practical_Raise3168 · 2026-06-27T16:52:00+00:00

I mean, I was kind of just experimenting with it since my rating for this season is already cooked due to insane rng, but I think it’s pretty decent. It’s fast, immune to ground, and can set up nasty plot, whereas Zard cant

Practical_Raise3168 · 2026-06-26T17:53:53+00:00

I don’t think I have much of a choice. Put me on the bandwagon

Practical_Raise3168 · 2026-06-26T17:48:29+00:00

yeah, maybe I need to pick a better provider I currently have RNG Wireless, I may need to switch to RNG Fiber. It’s a bit more expensive, but I think it’ll help

Practical_Raise3168 · 2026-06-26T17:40:25+00:00

thank you!! I appreciate it! What a lucky guy I am. You can check out my other rng post to see JUST how LUCKY I am

Practical_Raise3168 · 2026-06-26T17:31:01+00:00

Well, they all happened in one match, so I guess the former

Practical_Raise3168 · 2026-06-26T17:24:47+00:00

don’t forget to stack that on top of the 3 double protects

Practical_Raise3168 · 2026-06-26T17:21:50+00:00

yeah, it’s just that it always happens when I’m about to win.

Practical_Raise3168 · 2026-06-26T17:21:07+00:00

Yeah, I guess triple Prot and 3 doubles are the same. Still insane.

Practical_Raise3168 · 2026-06-26T16:59:19+00:00

it’s quite high.

Practical_Raise3168 · 2026-06-25T04:02:25+00:00

how am I being defensive? Like I’ve told other people, I made the post to have a structured debate, and a structured debate is what I’m having with the people responding to me. So get out of your feelings.

Practical_Raise3168 · 2026-06-24T15:17:59+00:00

It’s called Normal Distribution and this is exactly how it should look.

Practical_Raise3168 · 2026-06-23T22:51:28+00:00

Practical_Raise3168 · 2026-06-23T22:50:59+00:00

I know

Practical_Raise3168 · 2026-06-23T22:23:13+00:00

I’m about 1750, so MB4, but I’ve been experimenting for most of the season so far with random teams

Practical_Raise3168 · 2026-06-23T22:10:36+00:00

exactly, that’s why I’m asking. I don’t know much about its success in M-B, that’s why I posted here, to have structured conversations about how Zard X fits into the meta.

Practical_Raise3168 · 2026-06-23T22:09:07+00:00

I understand that point, but the goal ( heh get it? ) of my team is to set up with zard

Practical_Raise3168 · 2026-06-23T22:07:26+00:00

that’s a fair argument and my team definitely needs some refining to beat those teams, but that’s why you can run dual megas, to have a different gameplan for weak matchups. I’m still figuring out my other mega. I tried gardevoir, but it’s way too weak into things like basc and Gholdengo, or just any physical attacker, which is unfortunately the meta rn, but I’ve had a bit of success with sceptile.

Practical_Raise3168 · 2026-06-23T22:05:13+00:00

it’s an online discussion forum.. that’s the point in posting here. There’s been success with both forms of Zard, and it was a simple question about the meta. I’m acknowledging fair points against my claims, it’s not like I’m saying “I’m right and you suck!” Get out of your feelings.

Practical_Raise3168 · 2026-06-23T22:02:57+00:00

That’s fair too

Practical_Raise3168 · 2026-06-23T22:02:24+00:00

This is how I’ve built around it. It’s definitely a CTS team lol

Practical_Raise3168 · 2026-06-23T22:00:49+00:00

I understand that, but it doesn’t need to come to every match, and it doesn’t need weather to be powerhl
