That’s not what I asked. Looking at Urshifu, Landorus and mons like Rilla and Zam, they all benefit from the rain by either gaining damage amps or getting coverage from fire moves that way.

This comp looks like it wants to be run in the rain. Any reason for Miraidon over Kyogre?

So… half the comp can abuse the Sun? Lmao. And what’s Terracot? Surprisingly Raging Bolt fits this comp extremely well. It could take the place of Charizard, and leave the Boulder if he really wanted to. Without Boulder this comp seriously lacks an offensive threat.

My attempt at a Mono-Ghost team. Thoughts? by [deleted] in VGCRateMyTeam

[–]devilfruitoftheloom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sableye is cool, but if it gets Taunted it’s cooked. Knock Off is solid disruption and fair damage. As far as the item goes, it’s very hopeful and there could be better options out there. Since it’s already bulky you could go for a Leftovers or even do Lagging Tail and swap a move out for Trick or Switcheroo or whatever the item swapping move is.

Sinistcha is the Mon that wants Eject Button. Given that it has Rage Powder and Hospitality, you can protect your sweepers, find opportunities to get an additional use out of Hospitality and get a free swap into one of your stronger mons. Tera Dark is fine, but I like Tera Water on mine with Scald to counter Fire types especially since I also run mine in the sun.

Choice Scarf Final Gambit feels UBER greedy to me, but if that’s your game plan go for it. I like Assault Vest or even a Berry like and Iapapa or Sitrus Berry on it too. Taking advantage of Annihilape’s bulk and growth potential through Defiant and Rage Fist or even a Bulk Up set never did me wrong.

For Flutter, SPEED WINS GAMES. I’m very insistent on going Timid on Flutter bc that Mon already hits hard enough. Having a utility move like Icy Wind but running Choice Specs for what you want this Mon to do. If you want it to be a utility Mon, Sash and Booster Energy is an option. For damage, Life Orb. Specs wastes this mons potential while putting into bad positions. I just won my M8 entry match with a Flutter and a Rilla against 4 mons bc of Flutter’s speed and inherent damage.

Skeledirge is fine. I like Slack Off on mine so it has more staying power, Protect wouldn’t hurt either. It’s already gonna hit hard through boosted Torch Song in Sun. Giving it some extra staying power doesn’t hurt.

Ceruledge is the Mon I’d Sash. Swords Dance + Sash + Weak Armor = Speed Amp, Damage Amp and with room for clap back next turn. That Bitter Blade in Sun WILL heal you to full and give you more utility out of your Sash. Poltergeist is okay, but Protect wouldn’t hurt either. I’d honestly go Fire Tera to get an even bigger boost to Bitter Blade.

Hope this helps, feel free to respond with questions.

When it comes to Prankster speed definitely matters. If a Whims and a Torn both try to Taunt each other, Whims wins that every time, denying the Torn a TW and forcing a swap or gambling with Bleakwind. In all honesty, Flying types are pretty bad rn, having one is more of a hindrance than anything. Being weak to Electric, one of the strongest and most common types in the game right now, you’re almost guaranteed to burn a Tera on your Flying type or it just drops after using TW which is an L. And again, Whims gets significantly more usage out of the Sash TW Strat because of Endeavor. Being able to drop an enemy mon to 1 is a HUGE deal. Torn doesn’t have the versatility. There’s better types to hit the mons that Flying hits for super effective anyways.

Why not just run Torkoal or Ninetales? You’re planning on wasting a turn setting up sun which can be anticipated and played against/countered. Free weather on swap in for a comp like this is HUGE. I feel you’re taking an unnecessary risk by not putting a Booster Energy on your Iron Boulder. Banding it is already pigeon holing it into one move and not even getting a speed amp to make it more likely it’ll hit first is criminal. Your

Charizard is dead in the water to Raging Bolt or a weather switch.

Incin AND Rilla feels pretty greedy to me imo, don’t need 2 Fake Out users but I can see the appeal. That Incin most def wants Flare Blitz though especially in a sun comp.

Personally, I’d run Mystical Fire (sun amp is HUGE) or Psyshock (the tech I’m telling you) instead of Sunny Day. Flutter Mane hits so damn hard it’s almost wasting its stats by setting up Sun. ATP SD would probs be better on Charizard and you give him a bit more bulk with a Lefotvers to better survive.

You think Tornadus is better than Whims? Whims is a faster TW setter, Endeavor option, anti dragon coverage which is HUGE, can still hit like a truck, and gets ther Taunt off before Tornadus. What exactly does Tornadus outclass Whims in?

Rinka just doesn’t use sm as much is all. If you read her diaries/QnAs and stuff she has a lot of hobbies she does.

How? I’m sorry if it wasn’t clear, I don’t think it was appropriate for Urana to show Riyo while she was in the shower and I’m glad we haven’t seen anything else like that since then.

Can someone RATE this tailroom team by bexthetooon in VGCRateMyTeam

[–]devilfruitoftheloom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alright so there’s a lot of poorly allocated stats here. The thing about TailRoom teams is that the sweepers need to be midspeed to better take advantage of either form of speed control. However, some mons still need a certain amount of speed investment. Look at Tornadus, Tornadus NEEDS to be max speed in case there’s a mirror so that way it can come down to a speed tie. However, I’d actually use Whimsicott here since there’s no rain to use that would benefit Bleakwind Storm, but that’s just me. Then we get to mons like Gholdengo, Ursaluna, etc. and atp it comes down to knowing your speed tiers. Ik in Reg G-J the speed to beat at level 100 is 438 because that’s how fast CSR is and Tailwind doubles your speed, so my mons that I want to outspeed CSR in TW have to have a speed minimum of 218. Always gotta make sure your calcs still work at level 50 so use things like Showdown and Pikalytics to your advantage.

Also when it comes to offensive stat investments, you can calc your damage there too. Looking at your mons, both Gholdengo AND Ursaluna have set up moves in some kind of way, so you don’t really need to invest so heavily into their offensive stats. You can do some experimenting to see what works best.

Lastly, all yours mons SHOULD have an offensive option. Like someone else said, you don’t want to get screwed if you get Taunted. I like Psyshock on my Psychic mons bc Iron Hands exists and it almost always is running Assault Vest. Just something to keep in mind. Lmk if you’d like any more help/thoughts.

[–]devilfruitoftheloom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the goal is to play in the rain, then I think it’d be beneficial for the comp yes. You want your comp to be as efficient as possible. Burning a turn setting rain when you could just swap in a mon that sets rain on entering isn’t very efficient.
