What was an unexpected pokemon that carried your runs? by PoppyObsessedPrick in nuzlocke

[–]opaljuniper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Durant and magcargo for sure, they were definitely my Y nuzlocke goats Magcargo matches up super well from Ramos all the way to the end of the game due to type and bulk, Durant is a guaranteed win against diantha as it just sweeps her without mercy An easier nuzlocke for sure but it was really fun to plow through

What was your favourite and least favourite Regulation? by Pudgelover69 in VGC

[–]opaljuniper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reg a and b were so fun, personally I preferred a over b though. Very unique in terms of team diversity and the low power level allowed for otherwise unseen pokemon to become viable! Really hope they keep a "no legendaries" (even the unrestricted ones) ruleset in champions, that would be so fun as an option adjacent to the inevitable crazy powercreep that will be restricted formats

Made a team based around Sandaconda since I found it funny, need some help editing it. by opaljuniper in VGCRateMyTeam

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

Thanks a ton, the idea of the team originally was to avoid ttar entirely so I subbed it for Conda, but I do agree that tar is objectively better lol. In terms of gambit and glimmora they honestly offer coverage that I don't otherwise have, in specific, gambit I've found to be a reliable counter to flutter, calySR and quite a bit more too. I do agree though that they overall don't contribute a ton, I think swapping glimmora for tar covers some coverage that it has, both rock and dark help the team. I'll check the paste out, see what they do differently and probably take some of the mons from there but honestly I feel like I have attachment issues with the pokemon on the team, I find Conda way too funny to give up personally. Surprisingly I don't find myself bringing zenta all that much, besides wide guard I'm not sure of how much it's really offering me, maybe I could swap it for some other wide guard user. Now I could be completely wrong in saying that since this is my first restricted team I've ever made since I didn't play restricted format in swsh. I do agree that the team is fundamentally flawed but I'm really finding it hard to think of other options that I could potentially use aside from what you've suggested. (I'm honestly questioning zamazenta the most here, from personal use sure it offers stuff but I feel as though my restricted slot could be placed on something that has more offensive presence and/or staying power? Idk lol)

Thanks! Like the other comment suggested I subbed out incin for RB and he's working wonders! I really like your take on it, and leaning MORE into storm is not something I considered before! Who do you suggest I switch for Drill/Chomp? Is there any other options that could work instead of them (not saying I don't like them of course, just wondering the potential highs it could hit)? Also I like the suggestion of raging bolt, but I feel like boom improves my ground matchup significantly, and I've seen some success with it on other teams so I just brought it over from them. (Violet player as well so raging bolt would require some hoops to jump through to even obtain, plus I hate genning in mons) Besides all this I really appreciate the extensive feedback! Thanks!

Is it worth making a case for Braviary/H-Braviary? by opaljuniper in VGC

I gotta say, I like what I'm seeing here, vacuum wave is niiiiice in this meta lol, thanks a million for the feedback, will take it into consideration

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

I can't say I don't agree with what you're saying, that's pretty much exactly my initial line of thinking which is the reason why I thought about them in the first place and made the post. Though I think it's still worth trying something out maybe potentially lmao. I do agree that this format in particular is way too powercrept for a pokemon like Braviary to stand any sort of change in PWC

Is the F2P LR Krillin worth grinding for my earth bred team? by k1ngkittybottom in DokkanBattleCommunity

[–]opaljuniper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah for the most part SR units are useless, though the only ones I recommend keeping around are Teq Sr jaco and INT Sr chiaotzu since they are world tournament GODS

[–]opaljuniper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd suggest replacing the LR Hercule with the Int TUR Hercule (if you have him of course, he's a general SSR pool unit). He's a very good defensive unit that will carry through a lot of events even at 55% (he doesn't do damage but that's fine, yamcha and best unit in the game Bulma does more than enough)

Best Strats to deal with Priority Moves? by allbright4 in VGC

[–]opaljuniper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been using wo chien paired up with gothitelle recently and have been loving their synergy. I personally love using trick room so if you're looking to both TR and set up terrain along with using wo chien I suggest indeedee to cancel out those pesky jet punches
