Is it me or does it seem like the middle of the pact players 1500 and 1600’s are making a lot of STUPID plays? I have been playing people that will try to priority when LeLe has psychic terrain up. I have seen people run teams like Ash greninja on sun teams. Like Zard Y Venusaur Greninja Offense which doesn’t make sense to me as Sun hurts Greninja strongest stab. Just curious if anyone else is running into dumb players or seeing people make dumb plays consistently
Sometimes you just forget. The teams are probably solid enough to make it that high and no higher. Ive seen it and done it before. You sometimes just forget
I’ve built teams with nearly no synergy and made it to 1500s just by being a better player. Your quality of play gets you to this rating, and then anything after is your team.
Is anyone having issues with replays on showdown? I cant view it
might have been my phone, i can view it on pc now when I couldn’t see them last night
This looks like a balance team…of sorts
after watching it, i think you might be better off using volcarona over salazzle for a set up fire type sweeper. volc is honestly stupid this gen and lacks the coverage issues salazzle has assuming that one of you wincons is salazzle. Volcarona is also much stronger off the bat and this team lacks power.
You should replace air balloon with magnet on tapu koko if you insist on using it. Zapdos can also work here to add another flying type to the team.
while passing off big wishes is nice, i think keeping chansey alive would be much better with softboiled.
I have Salazle to threaten Stall teams. Those fucking teams man. Sazzle threatens Mega Sablye eye with Nasty Plot boosted flamthowers. And if they switch to unaware Clefable. I threaten that with Sludge Wave. Maget makes that much of a difference for Tapu Koko elec attacks? I guess on top of the terrain boost it could do stupid damage. I have koko for speed and u turn, but if I drop salazzle then he may not be needed and I could opt for Zapdos. But I think my team is defensive solid as is.
And while softboil gives Chansey more consitent survivability. Those wishes are just too good to pass up. It basically gives other pokemon a 2nd life.
Ok then what would be a good answer to stall that would fit with this team? I’ll definitely try magnet on Koko. That or swap to Zapdos. I;ll give Volcarona a try
Of course I run taunt on Fini. But now that I think about it. I don’t think I had Fini when I went up against stall. Is Fini my stall breaker? Maybe giver her nature’s madness to put damage on Chansey.
I seriously hope Megagross isn’t banned, such a pointless ban on a mon that- while extremely versatile, has numerous checks and notable counters. Do these smogoners really want all these quasi-über fairies to roam wild in the meta virtually unimpeded?
