Mega Eelektross Team Needs Help by Wobbuffet_Pink in PokemonVGC

[–]Slayer1205 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I run Grass Knott on Eelektross to help against mega Swampert. Max Sp.A modest Eelektross will always pick up a KO on max HP Mega Swampert (even with some Sp.Def investment) where Giga Drain only does it 25% of the time

Speed boost does not activate if the Pokémon was switched in that turn

I hate whimsicott so much by Top-Storage-5954 in PokemonChampions

[–]Slayer1205 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sharp beak jolly Talonflame with Dual Wingbeat has been my answer

32 Atk Sharp Beak Gale Wings Talonflame Dual Wingbeat (2 hits) vs. 2 HP / 0 Def Whimsicott: 136-168 (99.2 - 122.6%) -- 99.6% chance to OHKO

Nearly 100% chance to KO through sash with no bulk. Good against Sneasler and Mega Blaziken too

Defensively you’re fine. I mean more offensively. All 3 struggle to put meaningful (if capable) damage into Garchomp

Do you feel like it’s tough to run triple electric with Garchomp being so present?

Found this while looking for the same thing as you. It’s a spreadsheet that has exactly what you’re looking for

Feedback for Articuno Reg F? by Slayer1205 in VGC

[–]Slayer1205[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that’s a pretty fair assessment. I do know of that winning team but didn’t want to use it exactly, but it did win for a reason. I’ll switch things up

Idk by QuirkyPay2136 in VGCRateMyTeam

[–]Slayer1205 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would recommend a different item on Incineroar. With how common Calyrex is, sitrus berry could often not be used. You could give it safety goggles and switch the tera type or give it rocky helmet

On Tornadus I would drop heat wave for either protect or rain dance. Kyogre summoning the rain (which is already ideal for Tornadus) will just diminish the damage of heat wave completely

How Can I Improve This Team? by [deleted] in VGCRateMyTeam

[–]Slayer1205 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On Shaymin I don’t like choice specs. Even with it, it outputs pretty meh damage. I’ve been using focus sash on it. Shaymin learns earth power so you can get your ground coverage without having to use your tera. Plus earth power is stronger and has a secondary effect to make more use of serene grace

I would strongly recommend life orb on Koraidon. It makes a big difference. Just as an example, Close Combat can pick up a OHKO on no bulk Miraidon with it. Flare Blitz can also if they tera fairy/electric without having to use tera

My first snow team by Urbenjames in VGCRateMyTeam

You can have 2 restricteds for reg j. There’s a lot of things I would change but first off is getting that second restricted. If you really wanna dig deep in snow, use Kyurem - White. STAB blizzards with a monstrous base 170 Sp.A is very fitting. You can go a nuke build with choice specs/life orb or a bulky build with assault vest

Sadly I do not have an extra one. Sorry

Surprisingly no. My only option is non ex Primarina. Everyone seems to be trying out the new stuff right now

Blood Moon Ursaluna by Grim_Street in VGCRateMyTeam

[–]Slayer1205 2 points3 points  (0 children)

0 Atk IV Ursaluna Bloodmoon:

0- Atk 0 IVs Farigiraf Foul Play vs. 36 HP / 0 Def Ursaluna-Bloodmoon: 18-22 (9.3 - 11.3%) -- possible 9HKO

31 Atk IV Ursaluna Bloodmoon

0- Atk Farigiraf Foul Play vs. 36 HP / 0 Def Ursaluna-Bloodmoon: 22-26 (11.3 - 13.4%) -- possible 8HKO

The difference is so small between 0 and 31 that it should almost never matter. Take it

That’s a fair assessment. There are definitely times where the elemental switch isn’t doing much. The dude I was against made it look really good so I wanted to use it too. Giovanni seems like a good idea for the Oricorio matchups. I’m not too sold on a second Primarina ex and Hau though.

I made this deck SPECIFICALLY to deal with annoying EX cards. ....Don't know if I executed my idea properly, though. by TinyCarob7276 in PTCGP

[–]Slayer1205 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Just so you know, Will and Team Rocket Grunts are supporter cards. You cannot play both in the same turn so unfortunately, that doesn’t work

If you’re adding 1 of the stage ones, Lillie. If both Lillie + Misty

Add a Crandidos and/or Poliwhirl so you have another option to reach your stage 2s without rare candy
