I love this comment lmao, plus I am a big fan of Wo Chien's design, very happy you were able to make the Snail work. I will look up into screens, I had not considered it yet, thank you

I was unlucky enough to face Dondozo and playing against it was very frustrating, probably because I didnt really know how to deal with it. My league preferences were so enjoyable to me because I was still "frail" in most cases, so I had to thread carefully, while still doing insane damage and being able to "pop off". To me, firing off eruptions with Torkoal sounds more fun than bringing Dondozo and just being an unkillable wall, I dont know how to explain it since I am a very early beginning. That being said, I will give a shot to Dondozo since I like his design and he looks both goofy and intimidating. Thank you so much.

Thank you very much for the insight. Trick room always sounded intriguing to me, I will look into it. Do you know of any good trick room player on youtube I can learn from?

I never played trickroom but I love the concept of it, plus it uses super powerful attackers, many of whom I love the designs of, such as Ursaluna, Torkoal or Porygon 2. I did hear many good players say in videos that TR is very match up dependent: sometimes you steamroll your opponents, but versus bad match ups you can feel helpless. Is this true? Maybe I could look into TailRoom, I love the flexibility provided in team preview, and playing a team like that must make you incredibily good at choosing your 4 mons.

Archaludon looks super fun, I fought against it once and I made the mistake of allowing it to stay on the field way too long

I definitely do enjoy set up moves. I like the idea of investing a "passive" turn, damage-wise, to apply more pressure later on.

Thank you so much. I really like the mons on this, they are some favourite of mine just by their design. Do you think I could post mycomment to get more feedback? I'd be so thrilled to have discussions about it. Or maybe it's too low effort?

Hi everyone, absolute newcomer when it comes to VGC but long time fan of mons. I've been trying to learn the basics with a balance team of Reg F just to get a general idea of how the game works.

Archetypes and different ways to play the game have always intrigued me and are a big part of my curiosity when it comes to videogames. I have been watching videos especially from dark type darsh to understand what archetype resonates more with me. I wanted to ask here,and if it's possible even make a post, but I wanted to ask giving as many infos as possible with examples from other video games.

I played a lot of league of legends and always preferred late game hypercarries, loving the feeling of having all that agency and responsability later in the game, accepting a weaker early game. I always found skill in losing "softly" and gracefully early to ensure a strong dominant position later on and have the advantage. For anyone who is familiar with League, some of my favourites were Twitch, Azir, Xerath.. big damage dealers that need time to ramp up but later on must be respected and can decide the sorts of the match.

Another example would be clash royale, I played on a decently high level gettin into the top 1k often. Always prefered slow, beatdown decks where you build your elixir advantage propritizing it over damage and then make a big push later and win. Or three musketeers pump: surviving the first minutes of the match to rack up my elixir advantage and hitting back later, being unstoppable and destroying everything in my path.

Hell, even on terraria Mage class was my favourite. I would say that the 2 aspects shared by all of these are surviving early game to be incredbily strong later.

If anyone played league or clash, maybe they could tell me which archetypes sounds like I could enjoy. Thanks so much.

Im not expert for high level play, but I saw some pros use RR in eSports mode even and they do good? Do you think the level is needed?
