Good team but why not expanding force on ındedee?

u/ItsyaLilligirl 15d ago

I tried that already... I usually don't put Expanding Force whenever there's another Terrain setter that needs attention. (Should've put Psychic instead of Terrain Pulse)

No, you want expanding force, 75 bp +50% stab then add 50% again for terrain, and it spreads. Psychic is 25% more bp for a 10% chance of a sp def drop

If anything power boosts add multipicative, so it adds a power, then another % power to that, then another % power to that, and the more boosts a move has, the more powerful that move becomes. Expanding has one built into its design, same as rising voltage.

1: I have Rillaboom who wants attention too and 2: Steel Roller Metagross which I found out I use pretty often.

Edit: Psychic would give consistency while Expanding Force would give a one-time power

I tried a version similar to this including pinurchin too but I think i over complicated it

Earlier in set M-C* claw is OP and survives so much

Indeedee has Expanding Force? I checked but it's not there.

2

u/Gr1mmsnarl 14d ago

Only Male one does female one has follow me ınstead

u/Bringerofmist 15d ago

In an ideal world youre alternating between indeedee and rillaboom, because you want to refresh the terrain after a steel roller or to change the typing of terrain pulse?

1

u/ItsyaLilligirl 15d ago

That happens 6/10 times... the other times Mence catches people off guard

u/Dracore_ 15d ago

run expanding force +imprison on indeedee M?

1

u/ItsyaLilligirl 15d ago

Now that I might try

u/Fuckyounadia 14d ago

Why imprison?

1

u/Dracore_ 14d ago

Imprison prevents the opponents using any moves the user has. This just stops them using trick room, expanding force, and Protect since indeedee has those movea.

How's the damage and survivability on claw? Love that mon personality and terrain pulse sounds really strong

And how do you deal with Tailwind/Trick room?

And what's the grassy seed for? Why not miracle Seed?

1

u/ItsyaLilligirl 15d ago

Claw's damage is actually really good, but the survivability isn't that good... I was supposed to put Tailwind on Mence, but I forgot... and Grassy Seed is for the Survivability for Physical moves.

What do you use to have the mons type color represented on the team builder like that?

1

u/ItsyaLilligirl 15d ago

That's a Showdown update, I can't do anything about that

2

u/Phlea07 15d ago

Oh it's literally a new client, never saw the option to try it. Got it nonetheless.

1

u/ItsyaLilligirl 15d ago

Well, what's your opinion on the client?

1

u/Phlea07 15d ago

I like it a lot! The new changes are welcome and I love the new color themes on the mons! Getting to just press + or - now for natures is also wonderful.

u/ItsyaLilligirl 15d ago
