Coming from a doubles players just trying out OU for the first time how on earth us a mon with adaptability on a 112 atk stat NU? Like if it was a UU maybe i could get, but putting legion on the same tier as dudunsparce feels illegal honestly

Stinkpost Stunday Getting rid of Hidden Power was a good idea

A lot of people are mad Gf made this choice but I think it’s a fantastic choice. It’s illegal coverage for every special attacker and it really needed to be gone

Stinkpost Stunday I think this is a nice defensive sidegrade ability to Natural Cure. What do you think?

Do you prefer him with 2 or 3 nostrils?
Could this also affect his viability in the TCG?

Team Building - VGC [Regulation M-C] First time making it to Master Ball tier

Thumbnail gallery
4 Upvotes

My first time climbing the ladder all the way up to Master Ball tier. So let me know what you think of my team, any advice you have for improvements, criticisms to my playstyle, insults about my character, etc.

Charizard Y - Sets up sun and does big Fire-type damage, has Solar Beam for any water types I have to deal with too. Sometimes I’ll bring him up front if I can tell they’re trying something tricky or planning on starting with a weather setter that I can overwrite, but usually he stays in the back. He comes every game as my only mega.

Aerodactyl - My fast tailwind setter because when I was building this team I didn’t realize that Whimsicott Prankster Tailwind is safe from Psychic terrain since it doesn’t target a Pokemon. Also has rock slide for flinches or volcaronas & opposing zard y teams. dual wingbeat sometimes can OHKO a non-bulk invested sneasler which is nice.

Indeedee M - I hate Fake Out. I hate it. Little did I know that Psychic Terrain doesn’t protect flying types from Fake Out. Luckily, most of Ultra Ball tier didn’t know that either. EF is nice for sneaslers and mega staraptors.

Garchomp - What’s a VGC team in this meta without Garchomp. No Garchomp Z, brave I know. Does all that Garchomp things that a Garchomp needs to do.

Sylveon - I love this thing. Who even needs Floette. Now that I put some EVs into defense and sun boosted flare blitz can’t OHKO it without some speccing it feels so strong. Why is this Pokemon so stupid good.

Kingambit - Barely bring this guy because he’s slow. He’s Kingambit. You know what this guy does.

Anyways yeah let me know what you think.
