- [14:34:50] #Yellow Paint: alright, a bit of a false start cause I forgot to whitelist ahead of time
- [14:35:37] #Yellow Paint: anyways, so how about we start off with some core suggestions
- [14:36:12] #Yellow Paint: anyone have anything they wanna build around?
- [14:36:43] #Yellow Paint: I'm personally a fan of urshi-r recently
- [14:36:49] +Yoda2798: how about kommo
- [14:37:02] #Yellow Paint: sure, anyone else?
- [14:37:09] @zeefable: i am down for the clanger
- [14:37:14] #Yellow Paint: and clang kommo I'm assuming
- [14:37:18] +Yoda2798: yeah
- [14:37:42] +Ox the Fox (: specs torkoal seems cool to me
- [14:38:23] #Yellow Paint: sure, torkoal room could be fun
- [14:38:35] #Yellow Paint: and I got a suggestion for WP pult
- [14:38:42] #Yellow Paint: so I'll set up a poll
- [14:39:13] T3ch Thieves: i want electric terrain to be relevant :v
- [14:39:22] A poll was started by Yellow Paint.
- [14:39:56] #Yellow Paint: I'll close this in a few minutes
- [14:40:18] #Yellow Paint: but since kommo seems to be winning, feel free to talk about what y'all wanna set up for it
- [14:40:37] SMB: boom pincurchin hyper offense T3ch Thieves
- [14:40:38] #Yellow Paint: ofc you gotta have fini answers, because of misty terrain blocking clang
- [14:41:01] #Yellow Paint: so rillaboom and kartana are usually easy adds
- [14:41:17] T3ch Thieves: redirection/steel in general
- [14:41:17] #Yellow Paint: nihil's also quite popular on those comps
- [14:42:43] +Ox the Fox (: what set does kommoo run
- [14:42:48] #Yellow Paint: ah, right
- [14:43:06] #Yellow Paint: it does throat spray clanging scales/clangourous soul/filler/protect
- [14:43:11] #Yellow Paint: with filler usually being flamethrower
- [14:43:28] #Yellow Paint: and yeah looks like it won
- [14:44:05] #Yellow Paint: alright, so kommo-o to start with
- [14:44:35] #Yellow Paint: !code

- [14:44:38] @zeefable: smth important to consider is gonna be terrain
- [14:44:40] #Yellow Paint: anyone got any problems with this set for now?
- [14:44:55] Actuarily: Rilla + AV Metagross would pair really well with it. Metagross can Steel Roller away terrain, and those two handle Psy terrain/misty terrain teams really well
- [14:44:56] #Yellow Paint: and yeah, I guess main question is
- [14:44:57] +Yoda2798: isn't overcoat better
- [14:45:12] #Yellow Paint: yeah fine overcoat
- [14:45:16] #Yellow Paint: rilla or kart
- [14:45:18] @zeefable: yeah I'd go overcoat since amoon is rising
- [14:45:33] #Yellow Paint: (overcoat blocks powder moves like spore and rage powder)
- [14:45:49] #Yellow Paint: while soundproof is mainly for roar and the kommo mirror or like sylv if you happen to find that
- [14:45:56] T3ch Thieves: Boomburst?
- [14:46:13] #Yellow Paint: well, we can change it later
- [14:46:22] #Yellow Paint: but yeah, are we cool with rilla + av gross?
- [14:46:24] +Yoda2798: I like Actuarily's suggestion
- [14:46:27] #Yellow Paint: or do we wanna try something else
- [14:47:02] @zeefable: like that a lot
- [14:47:04] +Yoda2798: definitely want a terrain setter and rilla is the clear choice, gross is also good for psyspam
- [14:47:15] #Yellow Paint: alright, yeah gross steel roller is always fun
- [14:47:23] T3ch Thieves: That sounds fine, rilla probably helps with clean clang soul
- [14:47:33] #Yellow Paint: gross stands for metagross, for chat
- [14:47:43] #Yellow Paint: and rilla is grassy surge rillaboom
- [14:48:29] #Yellow Paint: we can leave sets open for now, but for chat, rilla almost always does fake out/grassy glide, as a bulky mon
- [14:48:46] T3ch Thieves: + uturn to pivot
- [14:48:49] #Yellow Paint: metagross does steel roller, which only works in terrain and removes it, but is very powerful, especially against mons like kyurem black
- [14:49:00] #Yellow Paint: alright, who next?
- [14:49:09] #Yellow Paint: the 3 have a bad matchup against like dragapult
- [14:49:36] #Yellow Paint: genesect and kartana aren't too great either
- [14:49:41] @zeefable: zeraora is nice. gives a second fake out and is faster than pult
- [14:49:59] Nido-Rus was promoted to Room Whitelist by Yellow Paint.
- [14:50:03] Nido-Rus: imo aura sphere> flamethrower
- [14:50:08] T3ch Thieves: Toise or maybe even mr mime
- [14:50:20] #Yellow Paint: lmao mime
- [14:50:20] Nido-Rus: heatran would be pretty annoying if we're starting off with kommo/rilla/gross
- [14:50:34] Nido-Rus: and aura sphere still beats kart
- [14:50:39] #Yellow Paint: and yeah, aura sphere makes sense here, for tran
- [14:50:43] #Yellow Paint: which has been on the rise recently
- [14:50:53] Nido-Rus: you lose out on gene but gene doesn't KO anyway
- [14:50:57] #Yellow Paint: if that's the case we definitely need other mons to hit gene anyways
- [14:51:07] #Yellow Paint: bc rilla + gross can't touch it too
- [14:51:24] #Yellow Paint: so, do we wanna add zera for now, or anything else?
- [14:51:52] Nido-Rus: sounds like a job for Tapu Koko :^)
- [14:52:19] Nido-Rus: hmm gene does seem annoying yeah
- [14:52:33] #Yellow Paint: could be blaze kick zera
- [14:52:40] #Yellow Paint: it's like okay in a pinch
- [14:52:46] Actuarily: Ooh I like that
- [14:53:10] @zeefable: what about just adding volcanion
- [14:53:15] Nido-Rus: hm idt the matchup is that bad
- [14:53:20] Nido-Rus: to need blaze kick
- [14:53:42] #Yellow Paint: yeah, volcanion would be a good add
- [14:53:45] Nido-Rus: + volcanion can work yeah
- [14:53:50] #Yellow Paint: and we would want a speed control afterwards
- [14:53:56] +Yoda2798: I like volcanion
- [14:53:58] #Yellow Paint: even if eweb zera
- [14:54:02] #Yellow Paint: yeah, volcanion is a nice add
- [14:54:33] T3ch Thieves: Psychic still seems suspicious even with metagross

- [14:55:57] #Yellow Paint: sets etc pending of course
- [14:56:21] #Yellow Paint: though I do think we could definitely use just a straight up tailwind
- [14:56:25] #Yellow Paint: how do we feel about mew?
- [14:56:32] #Yellow Paint: it's also a psychic resist
- [14:56:59] #Yellow Paint: might open up too much weaknesses to dragapult though
- [14:57:07] +Yoda2798: with both rilla and gross I don't think another psychic resist is super necessary
- [14:57:08] @zeefable: two ghost weaks and no resists is uncomfy
- [14:57:20] #Yellow Paint: yeah, makes sense
- [14:57:21] +Yoda2798: my biggest problem with mew is if we end up a bit passive
- [14:57:27] #Yellow Paint: do we want tailwind at all with the volc then?
- [14:57:36] T3ch Thieves: Maybe ttar for weather control but it doesn’t really synergize with anything else
- [14:57:38] #Yellow Paint: or could we settle for like eweb + av kyube icy wind or something
- [14:58:06] Actuarily: Or P2, as it helps our dragapult matchup
- [14:58:26] @zeefable: i think both p2 and ttar are fine, ghost resist / good mon into zapdos which we can kinda struggle with
- [14:58:31] +Yoda2798: I was going to suggest porygon2 could be interesting
- [14:58:43] #Yellow Paint: sure, do we want TR p2, and to make it semiroom
- [14:58:53] #Yellow Paint: or just fat p2 with like toxic or some other utility
- [14:59:15] T3ch Thieves: Not sure how I feel about semiroom with volcanion and metagross as the main weapons
- [14:59:24] T3ch Thieves: it doesn’t quite seem worth the investment
- [14:59:55] +Yoda2798: gross/cano/rilla is enough for tr to work
- [15:00:04] @zeefable: ^
- [15:00:15] #Yellow Paint: yeah, rilla on its own is great at it
- [15:00:27] #Yellow Paint: especially if wood hammer
- [15:00:40] #Yellow Paint: would also allow us to tech on like hammer arm metagross if we wanted
- [15:00:55] #Yellow Paint: bc stomping is often disappointing

- [15:02:23] #Yellow Paint: anyone have comments on potential items or set techs?
- [15:02:36] #Yellow Paint: I do like p2 semi to start
- [15:02:41] #Yellow Paint: even if we added it really late
- [15:02:59] @zeefable: i like goggles volcanion on this team for giving you two spore immunes
- [15:03:03] #Yellow Paint: also if you have an actually legit p2 spread that would be great
- [15:03:11] @zeefable: strengthens the semiroom mode too
- [15:03:12] #Yellow Paint: 3, if you count rilla
- [15:03:27] @zeefable: oh right we made clanger overcoa
- [15:03:28] @zeefable: t
- [15:03:30] @zeefable: my b
- [15:03:43] @zeefable: still think goggles is good but lefties is probably fine then
- [15:03:50] +Yoda2798: I don't like knock rilla
- [15:04:02] #Yellow Paint: want hammer over knock?
- [15:04:12] T3ch Thieves: High horsepower
- [15:04:27] +Yoda2798: probably, don't think we need anything else
- [15:04:42] #Yellow Paint: yeah, hammer on semiroom is always good
- [15:04:50] T3ch Thieves: Wood hammer works too i guess
- [15:05:05] #Yellow Paint: how about the metagross set?
- [15:05:07] +Yoda2798: hammer arm on gross does seem good here
- [15:05:22] #Yellow Paint: and yeah hammer arm seemed cool
- [15:05:38] #Yellow Paint: do we want sr and protect on gross?
- [15:05:48] #Yellow Paint: or even shuca
- [15:05:58] T3ch Thieves: would consider toxic on gross or p2
- [15:06:19] #Yellow Paint: toxic over tbolt on p2?
- [15:06:20] T3ch Thieves: as zeraora is providing some electric coverage tbolt seems less necessary
- [15:06:26] +Yoda2798: yeah toxic somewhere would be good
- [15:06:27] #Yellow Paint: I like it
- [15:06:56] #Yellow Paint: I think p2 is a lot less wanting for slots than gross
- [15:07:26] #Yellow Paint: so steel roller and hammer arm are definites on the gross, just for the power + speed drop
- [15:07:51] #Yellow Paint: do we want like ice punch, protect, stomping anyways, anything else?
- [15:08:05] #Yellow Paint: or still sr/tect last
- [15:08:27] +Yoda2798: part of me want av with ice punch/stomping but I'm not sure
- [15:08:46] #Yellow Paint: would end up being a lot of no tect mons lol
- [15:08:57] #Yellow Paint: though if a team's not gonna run tect, it'd be semiroom
- [15:09:47] #Yellow Paint: anyone else have thoughts?
- [15:09:58] #Yellow Paint: or we could shelve it for now and move on to zera
- [15:10:02] #Yellow Paint: also please give me a p2 spread
- [15:10:14] #Yellow Paint: or I'm just gonna throw on the analysis one
- [15:10:34] #Yellow Paint: oh actually the analysis doesn't look bad
- [15:10:59] #Yellow Paint: so, what zeraora item?
- [15:11:14] #Yellow Paint: vest again, or something else?
- [15:11:34] @zeefable: i prefer sitrus atm
- [15:12:07] @zeefable: turns a lot of 2hkos into 3hkos
- [15:12:24] #Yellow Paint: sure
- [15:12:44] #Yellow Paint: do you have an import to share?
- [15:12:54] #Yellow Paint: idk zera spreads
- [15:12:57] T3ch Thieves: good to catch scarf urshifu if it tries to notch a ko
- [15:13:17] #Yellow Paint: or is it just 252 252
- [15:13:33] +Yoda2798: it's usually just 252/252 I think
- [15:13:52] #Yellow Paint: alright, and is last move eweb, or something else?
- [15:14:20] +Yoda2798: whenever I've tried eweb I found it underwhelming
- [15:14:42] #Yellow Paint: would you be opposed to actual twave
- [15:14:48] #Yellow Paint: I've used twave pult in the past
- [15:15:04] @zeefable: i like snarl and volt switch as lasts
- [15:15:15] Actuarily: If we’re going Sitrus, something like taunt/toxic could be good in the last slot
- [15:15:19] @zeefable: protect taunt are also not bad
- [15:15:42] T3ch Thieves: idk about tect on zera you just fake out and get out
- [15:15:53] #Yellow Paint: I'm down for snarl
- [15:16:10] #Yellow Paint: but I could buy taunt too
- [15:17:16] +Yoda2798: coaching can be cool with av gross but doesn't seem worth it
- [15:17:59] T3ch Thieves: not sure how necessary taunt is given we have kommo and volcanion with spread and slower mons that fare decently in trick room
- [15:18:08] #Yellow Paint: yeah, I prefer snarl then

- [15:18:45] #Yellow Paint: since discussion seems to be slowing a bit for this one, are we happy with this comp overall?
- [15:18:53] +Yoda2798: looks good to me
- [15:18:59] #Yellow Paint: we can debate sets etc but I'd rather move onto something new

- [15:21:24] #Yellow Paint: I'm also accepting core suggestions from general chat
- [15:23:41] A poll was started by Yellow Paint.
- [15:23:47] #Yellow Paint: oh lmao
- [15:23:54] A poll was started by Yellow Paint.
- [15:24:19] +Yoda2798: is wp dragapult with fling or something
- [15:24:32] #Yellow Paint: I'm actually not sure
- [15:24:37] T3ch Thieves: yeah its fling
- [15:24:42] T3ch Thieves: salac i think
- [15:24:42] #Yellow Paint: maybe we pick wp spectrier instead of pult?
- [15:24:53] #Yellow Paint: I'm not personally a fan of wp pult
- [15:25:20] #Yellow Paint: that much speed seems overkill
- [15:25:37] #Yellow Paint: WP stands for weakness policy
- [15:25:38] +Yoda2798: yeah with salac you're better using spect for the spa and moxie
- [15:26:05] T3ch Thieves: yeah pult is too squishy as well, wasting a turn to fling is kinda suspect
- [15:26:05] #Yellow Paint: ok, so since multiple people are asking in chat
- [15:26:25] #Yellow Paint: !dt weakness policy
- [15:26:35] #Yellow Paint: you would have spectrier hold this
- [15:26:48] #Yellow Paint: then have a zeraora partner fling a salac berry onto it
- [15:27:03] #Yellow Paint: which gives it a speed boost in addition to the 2x spa
- [15:27:13] #Yellow Paint: which lets spectrier snowball even faster than it normally does
- [15:27:26] #Yellow Paint: and also lets it outspeed things that normally answer it like zeraora
- [15:27:28] +Yoda2798: where is the other chat where people are asking?
- [15:27:36] #Yellow Paint: oh people just keep pming me
- [15:27:44] +Yoda2798: ah
- [15:28:00] #Yellow Paint: yeah, feel free to pm suggestions btw
- [15:28:07] T3ch Thieves: a very popular strategy with calyrex-shadow in doubles ubers, but more limited in DOU in large part because caly is single target with shadow ball (and mud shot)
- [15:28:32] T3ch Thieves: still probably guaranteed to pop one or two kos and is immune to fake out
- [15:29:32] #Yellow Paint: well, looks like dd kyube won anyways
- [15:29:46] #Yellow Paint: maybe if we have time we can see wp spect afterwards
- [15:29:51] #Yellow Paint: or someone can provide a wp spect team

- [15:33:03] Actuarily: DD Kyu-b also pairs super well with Amoonguss, who redirects and resists attacks it hates like fairy/fighting, and Kyu-B beats the grasses Amoonguss can’t redirect.
- [15:33:06] #Yellow Paint: made it with my tutee, actually
- [15:33:37] #Yellow Paint: sure, amoong is a good add
- [15:34:27] #Yellow Paint: also is 96 ada?
- [15:34:33] Toxigen: Y
- [15:35:02] #Yellow Paint: sure, that's the first actual bench I've heard
- [15:36:03] #Yellow Paint: anyone have core suggestions aside from amoonguss?
- [15:36:14] #Yellow Paint: no spice to add like entei or something?
- [15:36:56] Toxigen: gonna be a normie but im gonna suggest urshifu
- [15:37:05] T3ch Thieves: the vish instead of urshifu
- [15:37:11] Toxigen: deals well with a lot of kyub checks
- [15:37:19] #Yellow Paint: yeah, urshi is strong
- [15:37:25] #Yellow Paint: and unlike entei it doesn't suck
- [15:37:33] @zeefable: yeah ursh and kyub have a lot of offensive synergy
- [15:37:44] Actuarily: Scarf entei could be really cool though, checks gene and Kart which these 3 struggle with
- [15:37:52] #Yellow Paint: we could do all 3
- [15:38:24] #Yellow Paint: although
- [15:38:31] #Yellow Paint: I would sooner use scarf blacephalon
- [15:38:35] #Yellow Paint: than entei
- [15:38:56] #Yellow Paint: which is also a neat addition if yall want it
- [15:40:00] @zeefable: well i dont rly think the entei needs to be scarfed
- [15:40:11] @zeefable: like gene/kart arent doing much of anything back to it
- [15:40:28] #Yellow Paint: hm, blace getting outsped by kart kinda sucks
- [15:40:42] Toxigen: wanna use support volc?
- [15:40:53] Toxigen: its probably bad
- [15:40:53] #Yellow Paint: oh, support volcarona works
- [15:41:02] Toxigen: but we could try
- [15:41:23] #Yellow Paint: instead of amoong?
- [15:42:00] Toxigen: yeah
- [15:42:21] #Yellow Paint: got a build for that?
- [15:42:26] #Yellow Paint: ik sitrus rp twind
- [15:42:33] +Yoda2798: I don't like support volc, just seems worse than amoon
- [15:42:47] +Yoda2798: kyub doesn't need tw and you lose on spore and puff
- [15:42:51] +Yoda2798: and can't redirect urshifu
- [15:42:59] #Yellow Paint: true
- [15:43:22] Toxigen: yeah we can just go with helmet among too
- [15:43:43] %pais: wei toxigen fratello caro
- [15:43:45] #Yellow Paint: alright, do we still want entei then?
- [15:43:50] Toxigen: bella paz
- [15:44:05] +Yoda2798: sure
- [15:45:01] #Yellow Paint: alright, this is where I'm at rn

- [15:45:43] Actuarily: Run iron head on entei too
- [15:45:47] #Yellow Paint: oh, true
- [15:46:06] Actuarily: But we definitely need some psychics resists
- [15:47:11] #Yellow Paint: would ttar here work?
- [15:47:35] @zeefable: i think ttars good
- [15:47:52] @zeefable: really hard for psyspam to break if you have a decent kartana check
- [15:48:01] #Yellow Paint: yeah, and we got the entei
- [15:48:03] @zeefable: so like, ttar + zap last kinda rounds that out nicely
- [15:48:16] #Yellow Paint: sure, zap last sounds good
- [15:48:25] #Yellow Paint: some extra speed control for the urshi and entei
- [15:48:43] Toxigen: fini could be problematic
- [15:49:10] #Yellow Paint: hm, maybe clear smog on the amoong somewhere?
- [15:49:12] Toxigen: so we should havre clear smog
- [15:49:14] Toxigen: ye

- [15:51:12] T3ch Thieves: might need orb entei because it doesnt ohko diancie
- [15:51:26] #Yellow Paint: oh, that's pain
- [15:52:59] #Yellow Paint: hm, do we want goggs on anyone?
- [15:53:08] #Yellow Paint: there's the sand too which is nice to have
- [15:53:09] Toxigen: ttar
- [15:53:16] T3ch Thieves: i dont think the team is super scared of amoong
- [15:53:31] #Yellow Paint: yeah, I meant on like zap to block incidental sand
- [15:53:32] T3ch Thieves: ttar maybe but he might just appreciate the av bulk
- [15:53:40] #Yellow Paint: I prefer av ttar too
- [15:54:03] T3ch Thieves: its worth considering on zap
- [15:54:22] T3ch Thieves: but the team is also pretty ripe for rocks
- [15:54:27] T3ch Thieves: hdb might be better
- [15:54:30] #Yellow Paint: yeah, prob still boots zap
- [15:56:22] T3ch Thieves: tbolt or volt switch
- [15:56:43] Toxigen: volt switch
- [15:56:54] Toxigen: to keep momentum
- [15:56:57] #Yellow Paint: I prefer actual tbolt if we wanna hit volc/fini
- [15:57:08] #Yellow Paint: actually fair volt works better with boots

- [15:57:33] #Yellow Paint: this is what I have so far
- [15:57:34] T3ch Thieves: probably doesnt have to be max speed zap
- [15:57:54] #Yellow Paint: zap spread is filler, if you have a better one please give
- [15:58:02] T3ch Thieves: that one looks fine tbh
- [15:58:13] T3ch Thieves: roost or tect
- [15:58:33] #Yellow Paint: I still think roost
- [15:58:52] T3ch Thieves: whoever's zaps teammate would have to put in a lot of pressure
- [15:59:17] T3ch Thieves: also theres a lot of weaknesses to opposing ttar and anything with meteor beam rn, i think
- [15:59:20] Toxigen: ice beam or punch last on ttar
- [15:59:32] T3ch Thieves: zap + entei + kyurem stacked rock weakness is sus
- [15:59:51] T3ch Thieves: im not sure if urshifu is enough to handle it all
- [15:59:59] #Yellow Paint: yeah, that's true
- [16:00:18] #Yellow Paint: do we want like gross instead of ttar
- [16:00:51] @zeefable: gross w/o terrains a lil awkward
- [16:01:00] @zeefable: usable but steel rollers just too heat
- [16:02:04] #Yellow Paint: hm, how much do we wanna roll back then?
- [16:02:12] #Yellow Paint: or do we just live with it and run techs
- [16:03:48] @zeefable: hm
- [16:03:55] @zeefable: tbh i think its fairly playable
- [16:04:14] #Yellow Paint: I think nihil specifically is annoying
- [16:04:18] #Yellow Paint: especially if it's next to like toise
- [16:04:56] #Yellow Paint: but idt there's much to do here to fix it
- [16:04:58] @zeefable: entei is prob a little irrelevant
- [16:05:07] @zeefable: gene isa sensible replacement
- [16:05:09] #Yellow Paint: what we get for running a bad mon
- [16:05:14] T3ch Thieves: still very bad mu against diancie
- [16:05:17] #Yellow Paint: yeah, gene is better
- [16:05:29] #Yellow Paint: poor entei
- [16:05:45] #Yellow Paint: scarf or vest?
- [16:05:54] #Yellow Paint: wait nihil, has to be scarf
- [16:06:25] #Yellow Paint: and yeah opposing fires are fine with ttar + urshi

- [16:07:31] @zeefable: i will swear by 148 spa gene
- [16:07:36] T3ch Thieves: could scarf urshi, takes care of nihi neatly but would have to be really careful about redirection and stuff like rilla
- [16:07:38] @zeefable: esp on a team w/ no real ground resists
- [16:07:41] #Yellow Paint: sure
- [16:08:03] +Yoda2798: jet on urshifu already deals with nihi
