  • Hey Pinkacross, Thank you sooo much for responding to my Deoxys-D team.. Btw I tried to build another team and yeah yo are the most helpful Smogon User from which I can ask anything.. So can you fix this team I madehttps://pokepast.es/d67d7462939f0547? Your YT motivated me to COme back to ladder thx for that ;-;... Sorry to Disturb you again....
    hey pinkacross! watching your youtube channel has been a morning routine for me. learned a lot and now ive been laddering with this team for a while and i seem to be doing good in it.. kind of, but i want to take it up a notch.. how would you shape this team? https://pokepast.es/91ad7b78c0c17367

    That's so nice to hear! :D This team looks pretty cool but there are some things I'd change. Go full on HO, the Prim set seems out of place. There are a lot of cool Prim sets that are more compatible with the fast pace of your team-- sub custap, sub cm psychic noise draining kiss, etc. I'd give one of those a try instead of AV and see how it goes! :]

    Sounds good and good luck!
    hey, i'd be interested to hear what you'd have to say about this kinda weird weezing-g + hydrapple team i built:
    https://pokepast.es/f9cffb57c355de89
    it's been working sorta well tho a lil inconsistent. started off building around weezing tho honestly hydrapple is the new star this thing is so fun to use lol

    thx for responding appreciate it

    are there any specific changes u could see working? tusk is kinda hard to switch into tbh so if i replace volc it defo needs to be smth that can handle that as volc is like the one mon that doesnt get blown up by ground + ice coverage. weezing can go but replacing it is weird cuz of the gliscor mu and losing toxic hurts especially vs stuff like hat and gouging fire.

    I don't see any quick changes that would fix the team, I would probably need to replace 2-4 pokemon-- in this position I would be inclined to go back to your original core, what you wanted to build around, but this time ensure that you have a way to break stall before you develop your team defensively.

    alright, thx for the feedback
    Hey Pinka Congratulations for your YouTube ... Btw I cooked with Deo-D and wanted you to Have a look at it...
    https://pokepast.es/6786a4358e2dab68 The team performed solid on ladder I am 1800s Now with it.. But tbh I Struggle a lot and i man it against Gliscor... Are there Some specific changes you would suggest? I just Hazard stack, Chip a whole lot with great tusk and dengo and Sweep with Meow...

    I actually Changed Psychic to ice beam Hits great tusk and gliscor pretty hard and I have bold nature im sorry
    Pinkacross
    Pinkacross
    I'd recommend HDB Great Tusk, other than that I can't think of any changes I'd make without major restructuring. I'm not sure I believe in Deo-D in general honestly, it doesn't seem to offer much as a Stealth Rock setter.
    Pinkacross
    Pinkacross
    Quite solid, but too weak to Gliscor in my opinion. I'd recommend Ice Spinner over Knock Off on Tusk and Ice Beam on Glowking.

    I had it recently, but i swapped ice spinner for rocks on tusk for knock. I overall struggle with ground types so i guess ill swap it out. Also, what would you think about rotom-W over alomamola?
    Pinkacross
    Pinkacross
    You'll want Alomomola here I think. Even though Rotom-Wash provides a ground immunity, there aren't a lot of Ground types in the tier that can get past Alomomola. It wouldn't hurt to make Alomomola Tera Flying though, just in case you run into a CB Tusk.
    You should really consider making a video on how to choose your lead pokemon. Its something i personally struggle with, and i think others might too.

    I wrote this idea down, thanks!
    Hi Pinkacross! Heres a fun Gogoat grassy terrain team I'd like to submit for your upcoming team rating video:

    https://pokepast.es/dd985a867bccd879

    The idea is for Gogoat to be a bulky mon that can set up on physical sweepers with bulk up and grass pelt (+1 def in grassy terrain). Obviously there are better possible options, but not as silly ones :)
    Hello Pinkacross I think i encountered you on ladder yesterday. Were you testing Hoopa?
    Pinkacross
    Pinkacross
    I was indeed! It's not going great, but I do love Hoopa-U!
    lucky333
    Great Stallbreaker, yeah. Was your Hoopa choiced? I like using mixed Hoopa with boots but choiced is unwallable. I was the Ursaluna Veil player. Sorry that I didn't respond to your hf msg, I had opponents ignored in my settings which I forgot to turn off. Just wanted to say gg.
    Pinkacross
    Pinkacross
    No worries, no offense taken! Yes my Hoopa was CB!
    Hi pinka. I like your vids they are entertaining and genuinely informative. Idk how you feel about national dex but I was hoping you could check out this team I made for the format. The first thing that jumps out is no electric immunity but this team is really fun and the immediate power of valiant, gouging fire and zard y is hard to fend off.

    also just realized my tapu koko still had EV from when I was using him as a special pivot.
    Pinkacross
    Pinkacross
    I'm glad you're enjoying the videos! :) This team looks like a lot of fun, but I honestly have little to no idea about NatDex stuff. I will say though, when running Alomomola and ZardY, having no electric immunity is definitely not acceptable if you're trying to build a top level team.
    Pinkacross
    Pinkacross
    My main issues are the Raging Bolt and Gouging Fire sets. Raging Bolt should almost never run Choice Specs, especially with both STAB moves having immunities and how Thunderclap functions, it really makes it a much worse pokemon. I'd recommend Leftovers, Wise Glasses, or Magnet instead.
    Pinkacross
    Pinkacross
    The issue with Gouging Fire is that the set you've chosen takes far too long to setup and be effective, Sun will be gone by the time you're ready to sweep. Swap to a more offensive variant with Heat Crash / Flare Blitz and Earthquake/DragonClaw/Outrage.
    Pinkacross
    Pinkacross
    CB is also an option.
    Hi Pinkacross! Your videos are super helpful and I was wondering if my team looks good or if there are any suggestions, so far I've had great results.
    Pokepaste: https://pokepast.es/bf1e23cfa9b06983
    Pinkacross
    Pinkacross
    Glad you're enjoying the videos! This looks quite solid overall but your lack of a ground immunity is concerning, you may want to consider Air Balloon on Heatran and/or Kingambit to help that issue somewhat. Make your Glowking Sassy with minimum speed for slow chilly reception on other Glowking. Run Knock + Ice Spinner over BU + CC on Tusk
    Pinkacross
    Pinkacross
    Go Earth Power over Flash Cannon on Heatran as well, and I'd recommend CB on Rillaboom, as well as Future Sight over Eerie Spell on Glowking
    Dear Pinkacross, the only YouTuber whom I am subscribed to on one of my YouTube accounts, please review this team I made that got me to 1500 elos in gen 9. Please do test it out before making changes as many games that I lost with this team are due to me playing stupid. Thank you.
    Team in link https://pokepast.es/5031ec796dc4674e
    1024 hello
    Please review it, since I created a smogon forum account just for this instance
    1024 hello
    Looking back, tera water on Corviknight is better for a better chance against Heatran and for a fire resist on the special side
    Pinkacross
    Pinkacross
    I've sent you a response in the conversation you sent me.
    Hey Pinkacross, I'm a big fan of the channel, and I wanted to send over a team I've been playing for a little while. I think my main issue in gen 9 is finding appropriate tera types for each mon on the team. I'm curious to know what you think.
    Pinkacross
    Pinkacross
    Glad you like the channel! I can guarantee that your biggest problem is not picking tera-types, that's a relatively minor stage of team building and very easy to adjust with testing. Latios feels very out-of-place here. For a hazard stack speed control pokemon, I'd recommend HDB Dragapult.
    Leonard!
    Leonard!
    Appreciate it! Looking at it, that makes a lot more sense.
    Pinkacross
    Pinkacross
    Good luck, lmk how it goes! :]
    Hi pinkacross, how would one go about building bulky offense? Looked it up on google but all that came out were various RMTs, appreciate the help!
    Pinkacross
    Pinkacross
    Same way you build any non HO or stall team. The easiest way is to start with a solid breaking core, add on other bulky and powerful pokemon that shore up the defensive weaknesses of your breaking core, and finish by adding other team necessities (IE speed control, electric immunity, ground immunity, resistances to all types, etc.)
    mrsuslawl
    thanks! :D
    Hey Pinkacross, I made some updates to my previous team. Really was just curious on what you thought of the glowking, dnite and nacl sets, particularly if I should drop roost on dnite for ice spinner. Thanks!

    https://pokepast.es/4f8437f3356cb848
    Pinkacross
    Pinkacross
    I'd say Dnite can afford Roost on this team but I'd test and see which works better. The sets all look quite solid!
    Pinkacross
    Pinkacross
    I'd remove Ceruledge for DD Knock Acro Taunt RM. Honestly I think Ceruledge is just not a good mon, especially Poltergeist sets since a TON of booster energy pokemon use it as setup fodder.

    Hi Pinkacross, I'm trying to make banded scizor work in ou but I've been struggling with the rain matchups. Any advice on how to make the team better? Thanks in advance!
    https://pokepast.es/eded3306ef8b240a
    Pinkacross
    Pinkacross
    The only way I could see to immediately improve the rain matchup is Water Absorb Clodsire-- I'd say your team can afford it, it makes the Volcarona matchup somewhat dicy but Clodsire can usually handle Volc unaware or no.

    I'd recommend running leftovers specially defensive Heatran with SR, go Iron Defense over Drill Peck on Skarmory. You also could consider Liquid Voice on Primarina for Psychic Noise.
    Hello Pinka. I want you to check my team. I have seen some success in this team.

    Lordgambit Low kick for kingambit and max speed to outspeed kingambit.

    Great Tusk to disrupt skarmory sweep with taunt and another thing to note that it can 2ohko skarmory with 3 bulk ups.
    Oj99981
    Volcorona(buzzing sun) to add more hax and also a threatening sweeper

    Hatterene a bulky sweeper and lead
    Pinkacross

    This looks solid.

    My main concern is opposing hazard stack-- your situation becomes scary quickly even with Cinderace, now that Gliscor is in the tier. I would advise against LO Dragapult.
    spoileronthedouble
    spoileronthedouble
    Yeah I was thinking about replacing cinderace with tusk. What is LO?

    Hey pink, made a new team to experiment with band meow. the sets on the mons are up to debate rn but I'm thinking about making it spikestack or altering the bolt set. Any feedback is obviously super appreciated.

    Thanks! My one concern in that case is the tera ground volc mu; I'm concerned if it has sub I'm screwed, but otherwise I can toxic it with glowking and tera grass on tran i suppose.
    Pinkacross
    Pinkacross
    The only way I could see to fix that would be replacing Raging Bolt-- it would need to be replaced with another priority user, likely Dragonite or Kingambit. Dragonite is solid against sub volcarona and Kingambit with Tera Fire can handle them as well.
    Venuesaur
    Venuesaur
    Fair enough. I suppose grass tran and glowking with toxic or ice beam are probably the best I can do against it with this mu. Thanks for the advice!
