    Im fine, btw, I'd like to get help for building stuff since I'm trying to get creative again :3

    Fantastic! If you attempt something, I'd be glad to rate it for you here.
    Hi pinkacross, your teambuilding is really creative. I was wondering if it's possible to make a viable team with both ttar and swampert on it. I know it's a tough ask considering their shared lack of longevity but I assumed if anyone can make it work, you're probably one of the best people to do it. I've been able to make some HO teams reach 1500 with them but thats it.

    Perhaps try a sand build. I'd recommend CB Ttar + Specially Defensive Swampert, this could be a scary pair. Add an Excadrill for removal and for sweeps, and that gives you 3, a solid starting point.

    Thank u!!

    You're welcome, feel free to post the finished team for review if you like.

    To summarize quickly: Gravity lets Excadrill (Landorus too but mostly Excadrill) click Earthquake for free and ruin most teams. Often times teams rely on Levitate and Flying Types as Ground-type counters, this ruins those teams. For instance, this lets Excadrill 2hko Landorus, OHKO Corviknight, OHKO Rotom-Wash, and OHKO Skarmory (all previously difficult targets).

    ohhhhhhhh tyvm i never knew it worked like that
    Have you tried building around one of the legendary dogs before?

    Ah, I see. What would you say is the best set, and team mates for a Suicune team?
    Pinkacross
    Pinkacross
    I like Sub + Protect Suicune with Weavile, since Weavile appreciates a burned Toxapex / Tapu Fini.

    Okay, thanks
    hey, I'm super new to OU is there any good blacephelon team that's being used rn?
    Pinkacross
    Pinkacross
    Blacephalon is a good and scary mon, I don't currently have any OU teams with Blacephalon but ask around the OU room and I'm sure you'll find some.

    Thank you for the compliment, feel free to ask if you have any other questions. :]
    hi do you have a discord? i'd like to talk to you about something!!! (it's good dw)
    welp guess what i'm back and with another question do u happen to have any nihilego teams?
    you realize all that math you posted could apply to literally anything with a freezing move, right?

    I... that wasn't a complaint. Not about you, anyway.

    Maybe I missed the part in your original post where you said freezing wasn't the only problem, but later on I think when people started talking about like freeze clause (I don't quite remember when it was exactly) you started correcting people by saying no, freezing is not the ONLY reason Kyurem is strong.
    Pinkacross
    Pinkacross
    My original post was on page 158, my first paragraph discussed why Kyurem was fantastic apart from freezes-- freezing is just what makes Kyurem uncompetitive and a little too good, in my opinion.
    hello pinka hope this not to much of a bother, a friend and i did some battling recently and my specs zone dismantled his team so he wants to know if there are any good some what long lasting specs zone counters that could fit on this team Untitled PokePaste

    It seems like Specs Magnezone isn't a huge problem, although it is certainly scary. I'd recommend trying to work Corviknight out of the picture, however. Corviknight is a lackluster choice on balances as it tends to be easily abused. Restructuring the team with different removal should help against Specs Magnezone. :)
    Are you really 61 years old? If so, its awesome to see someone of your age play this game so well. Huge fan of your teams. Keep it up.

    Good question. Perhaps I am, perhaps I am not. I'm private about my IRL info even with my closest of PS friends. Still, I appreciate the encouragement and I'll continue working to give people fun, creative teams to play with. :)
    Hello! Been getting bored of OU and I could use some intresting team ideas around a not so used mon,do you have any suggestions/ideas? (Sorry for bothering ya)
    Pinkacross
    Pinkacross
    Never a bother to share some ideas. One pokemon I've been experimenting with recently is Choice Banded Sharpedo. With access to Flip Turn, Crunch, Close Combat, and Poison Jab, it can be a scary breaker that can sweep lots of teams lategame with its Speed Boosting.
    Hey Pinka, how's it been? Two questions:
    A) Did that Glastrier set work for you?
    B) I built a rough draft of a team I want to post on RMT soon, would you mind helping me smooth it out?
    Pinkacross
    Pinkacross
    A) I havent had a chance to try it yet, but my hopes are low-- it seems pretty hit-or-miss with little utility, overall a bad sign. I'l still try it for sure, though.
    B) I'd love to help, send it to me in a PM please!

    I meant on Smogon, in a Conversation.
    Glaceon hail when?
    Pinkacross
    Pinkacross
    Never... because Glaceon seems really bad? Prove me wrong with a solid set though.

    Hey!, i was just seeing some of your RMTs, actually, do you have an advice for do a good-built RMT?.
    Sorry for the inconvenience.
    I appreciate your enthusiasm regarding your recent posts on the OU meta discussion thread. I don't agree with a suspect test for Rillaboom but I have a serious question: Have you personally built a team centered around Rillaboom?
    Pinkacross
    Pinkacross
    I have built quite a few teams centered around Rillaboom, though I didn't end up RMTing or using any of them commonly. I made some nice Rilla squads, but the problem is, all of Rillaboom's best partners are so standard, like Heatran, Magnezone and Kartana. I just don't get much enjoyment out of standard squads. Yes though, I have used Rillaboom and I know what it's about.
    Great post on Rillaboom. Completely agree and had recently come to the same conclusion myself, stacking my teams with 4+ grass resists. Part of the reason Kyurem, Weavile and Mamoswine are so good at the moment is because of the massive prevalance of flying and dragon types which are there to - you guessed it - check Rillaboom.
    Pinkacross
    Pinkacross
    I'm glad to hear some support! :) Rillaboom's true crime is in what it forces people to run, and not in practice itself, so anyone who isn't a regular builder that has attempted to build a sufficient amount of HO and Offense teams will have no clue whatsoever that it's a problem. If builders like you and I keep spreading the truth though, I'm sure we can get a Rilla sus at some point! :]

    I'm from July and going to say that Rill dropped to A-
    I love the creativity you display on your RMTs. In a very strict metagame, it gives me a bit of hope it's possible to have fun with such wild teams. Keep it up :blobthumbsup:

    Pinkacross
    Thanks man! I've got other cool projects to work on. Creative teams are the best teams! :)
    Hey! I'd love to continue the collab for the Dragalge team, but sadly I just received my exam schedule so my hands will be full for a while. Would you mind if we put it on hold briefly? I should be free by the Wednesday after this one.
    Pinkacross
    Pinkacross
    No problem, I've got plenty of other projects to work on in the meantime. Building isn't really a time-sensitive or stressful thing. Heck, we could do this in a month if you wanted to. Just ace those exams.
    Hello Pinkacross, I have been using this team for a long time, I just love it, it is my favorite since I have been playing pokemon for more than 15 years, a question, after the ban of cinderace, which pokemon do you think can fill this position? Thanks in advanced!
    Hey buddy, long time we haven't talked. I love to see you are still around building heat :]
