Hey Talon, I built the team with Stephen. So proud of him for making Day 2. The Gastrodon is to wall rain teams. Tera steel makes you resist hurricane and dragon pulse. You can also pin Basculegion in end games as long as Tyranitar is alive. It’s also required for certain Trick Room teams that can’t be stopped by taunt. It’s an honor that you made a video about the team. Hopefully it won’t be the last lol 🫡

Great teambuilding! I've never been a strong Gastro player myself but it for sure can have its uses with Yawn against TR and Rain obviously

The team with Pledges is really intersting because not only does a fast blaziken allow slow empoleon to go first but also the reverse is true with the slow empoleon allowing a fast blaziken to go first in trick room. Cool concept

I personally love Marco Martinez's team. Literally the very first thing I put into the team builder when reg h started was dnite, gambit, rilla, and ceruledge. I thought the synergy between those 4 would be insane, but I couldn't figure out the last 2 or the sets I should give them. I tried a few things, but nothing really worked so i shelved the idea. The only thing I'm iffy on is the amoongus matchup. You have rilla without an assault vest taking SE Pollen Puff/Clear Smog/Sludge Bomb and tera grass ceruledge as you're only spore answers. I'm playing around with it and seeing if I can find a way to get safety goggles on the team somehow. As a stopgap I put taunt on rilla to help patch up the matchup, but it still feels a little iffy. I guess the corv matchup is kinda tough as well....

I just realized if you could Tera one mon per battle to it’s Tera-type OR Stellar, it would be way more interesting. If you had that flexibility, there would be times you want to use it for defense or for the Stellar boosts and maybe Stellar Tera Blast would actually see use.

Does speed tiers matter when using upper hand? I see it fail befre using priority
@TalonVGCАй бұрын
Upper Hand is +3 Priority, so same priority bracket as Fake Out. The faster Pokemon between Upper Hand and Fake Out will move first, meaning a slow Upper Hand user could not block a faster Fake Out.

Dozo is a big one, you can even run Haze if you don't want to try to crit Leaf Blades. Lots of folks use Flamigo as a faster Scrappy user to outspeed and OHKO Gholdengo, Incin, and Rillaboom as an alternative to Decidueye

If I know they have Ice Shard, yeah I should use Upper Hand to stop it and get enough damage for Hurricane to KO. However, if they go for Blizzard in combination with Rage Fist, they'll take 2 KOs if they hit, so I felt CC was safer.
