- [16:12:04] #Xayahh: we have to actually choose the set, since Murkrow can do a few different things
- [16:12:25] #Xayahh: my personal proposal is to run a Pursuit trapper that isn't weak to Fighting to trap Grumpig relatively easily, but there's other things too
- [16:12:26] SergioRules: z mirror move only set
- [16:12:39] @pinktidal: mixed is best murk
- [16:12:55] @pinktidal: would offensive evio trap be too much though?
- [16:13:02] @pinktidal: would let it take AoA i think
- [16:13:09] #Xayahh: I was thinking more LO
- [16:13:52] +LightPinkYoshi: whenever i see a murkrow the thing im most scared of is sucker punch but it never seems to run it

- [16:31:30] @pinktidal: defensive*
- [16:31:37] #Xayahh: offensive is also very possible
- [16:31:38] @pinktidal: is edge the standard now?
- [16:31:43] RawMelon: Know+tort isn't a core
- [16:31:48] @pinktidal: like what does it hit
- [16:31:50] RawMelon: To whoever called it a core
- [16:31:51] +LightPinkYoshi: how well does yache tort take Z move rotom
- [16:31:55] #Xayahh: no, but there's no point in Yache if you can't OHKO Frosttom
- [16:31:58] RawMelon: Probably dies
- [16:32:10] @pinktidal: doest overgrow hammer do the same damage
- [16:32:11] #Xayahh: 252 SpA Rotom-Frost Subzero Slammer (185 BP) vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Yache Berry Torterra: 596-704 (151.2 - 178.6%) -- guaranteed OHKO
- [16:32:14] #Xayahh: it doesn't
- [16:32:21] #Xayahh: will have to change the spread
- [16:32:21] +LightPinkYoshi: figured
- [16:32:32] @pinktidal: doesnt*
- [16:32:44] #Xayahh: nvm max/max+ doesn't take it either
- [16:32:51] #Xayahh: we'll need to use something else for it too
- [16:32:55] Jmash324: ye
- [16:32:58] @pinktidal: chinch?
- [16:33:00] #Xayahh: and Stone Edge doesn't kill Torterra at the same time
- [16:33:05] #Xayahh: nah idt Chinch would fit
- [16:33:07] @pinktidal: or just another SSI
- [16:33:17] new low: lets add an ice resist
- [16:33:18] +LightPinkYoshi: there are plenty of rotom checks tp pick from
- [16:33:23] %DurzaOffTopic: wait how can we establish
- [16:33:27] %DurzaOffTopic: that we're weak to frostom
- [16:33:28] %DurzaOffTopic: at mon2
- [16:33:35] #Xayahh: this is temporary, obviously
- [16:33:45] #Xayahh: but when both mons are Ice weak, having at least something against it is nice
- [16:33:46] %DurzaOffTopic: are we just assuming that we're losing to frostom because thats what zu has become
- [16:33:47] %DurzaOffTopic: L
- [16:33:49] SergioRules: you know what's a good ice resist
- [16:33:54] SergioRules: poliwrath
- [16:34:04] %DurzaOffTopic: it also is a great thunderbolt resist
- [16:34:04] SergioRules: unfort not a good rotom check lol
- [16:34:04] @pinktidal: seaking
- [16:34:06] new low: poli can't block a vs though
- [16:34:14] SergioRules: AV seaking the GOAT
- [16:34:21] @pinktidal: decently strong and can status checks if lefties
- [16:34:23] new low: I mean, if we add it, we can play 50-50s
- [16:34:36] new low: but I don't know if that's a good idea
- [16:34:39] @pinktidal: if we're going non water seaking id rather have silv water
- [16:34:42] @pinktidal: for fog
- [16:34:52] @pinktidal: non seaking water*
- [16:35:00] #Xayahh: /announce Murkrow and Torterra will need something to deal with their shared weakness to Rotom-Frost, and we also need some more general utility, like ways to get Murkrow in safely, hazard removal, speed control, and checks to relevant Pokemon. PM me your nominations!

- [16:41:39] #Xayahh: Durza also suggested to change Torterra to offensive while adding Probo, so that we have two offensive threats that benefit from its presence
- [16:42:06] %DurzaOffTopic: bop
- [16:42:06] #Xayahh: we also get to decide between the more offensive Probopass that traps slightly more efficiently or the more defensive one that checks Rotom-Frost better

- [16:47:31] %DurzaOffTopic: offensive tort still checks it fine but like something else is nice to cover it
- [16:48:40] #Diagnostic: You need an Electivire check as well since Torterra is offensive here and your team lacks speed control so far.
- [16:48:59] #Xayahh: hey welcome Diag!
- [16:49:15] #Diagnostic: Thank you, sorry for the late arrival.

- [16:51:13] %DurzaOffTopic: silv works though.
- [16:51:13] #Diagnostic: Same. There's issues in both.
- [16:51:25] @pinktidal: either silv water or fight
- [16:51:31] Tsareentje: I am not common with sandslash
- [16:51:37] @pinktidal: slash is solid

- [16:52:17] Tsareentje: Voted silv too
- [16:52:31] #Xayahh: Probo is a decent Ice resist, and Watervally is no Ice check when Frosttom and Lapras are the best ones
- [16:52:34] +LightPinkYoshi: same (ignore the fact that i nommed slash a bit too quickly :P)

- [16:57:07] new low: grumpug
- [16:57:09] %DurzaOffTopic: and psychics
- [16:57:11] @pinktidal: we can pack a mime check
- [16:57:16] %DurzaOffTopic: no its not like that
- [16:57:17] @pinktidal: like grumpig fits this team so well
- [16:57:19] +spooktune: sandygast
- [16:57:19] %DurzaOffTopic: its such bait
- [16:57:24] %DurzaOffTopic: for mime
- [16:57:30] %DurzaOffTopic: with pshot
- [16:57:33] Aleccat: sandygast i second
- [16:57:36] @pinktidal: it checks no horn dash, mime, and evire sorta
- [16:57:43] %DurzaOffTopic: its not about checks
- [16:57:44] @pinktidal: and can run twave for speed control
- [16:57:48] Tsareentje: We need a good mime check ye
- [16:57:50] %DurzaOffTopic: its about momentum
- [16:57:51] @pinktidal: free setup
- [16:57:58] @pinktidal: for tort/bird
- [16:58:02] %DurzaOffTopic: u still have to run a mime check regardless if you run uturn
- [16:58:05] @pinktidal: id they dont switch mime hard in
- [16:58:10] Igirl45: k
- [16:58:19] @pinktidal: and* oops
- [16:58:19] %DurzaOffTopic: why would anybody not hardswitch mime into fightvally

- [16:58:26] Aleccat: you shouldn't switch murk into mime anyway
- [16:58:27] Igirl45: what should i switch to?
- [16:58:31] %DurzaOffTopic: it doesn't care about toxic
- [16:58:33] %DurzaOffTopic: just run uturn and save your momentum
- [16:58:34] %DurzaOffTopic: lol
- [16:58:35] @pinktidal: or coverage in case its offensive
- [16:58:43] @pinktidal: setup is so much more woth it
- [16:58:46] @pinktidal: worth*
- [16:58:47] new low: Aleccat swith murk into gleam sounds like a great idea
- [16:58:48] %DurzaOffTopic: its really not
- [16:59:01] @pinktidal: id rather be scared to lose momentum to one mon and setup on the rest
- [16:59:04] %DurzaOffTopic: u give mime a free nasty plot and it can be game
- [16:59:19] %DurzaOffTopic: i dont really think pshot is that useful for setup
- [16:59:41] %DurzaOffTopic: murkrow is getting 2hkod by like anything
- [16:59:47] %DurzaOffTopic: regardless of -1 or not
- [16:59:52] @pinktidal: not a bad option
- [17:00:02] Aleccat: murkrow is getting ohko* regardless
- [17:00:08] @pinktidal: tort isnt
- [17:00:12] Aleccat: true
- [17:00:35] #Diagnostic: Silvally fighting should always use U-turn as its pivoting move and if you're going a bulkier variant, you might be interested in a SD Fightvally with a speed creep above at least offensive murkrow / rotom-frost.
- [17:00:41] %DurzaOffTopic: tort is tanking anything it would set up on regardless of -1 or not imo
- [17:00:59] #Diagnostic: Or make sure it's not slower than offensive grumpig so you can pivot on it.
- [17:01:00] %DurzaOffTopic: just run uturn please its not worth losing games over
- [17:01:16] @pinktidal: honestly think youte over estimating mime
- [17:01:17] #Diagnostic: U-turn is essential for physical silvally variants.
- [17:01:23] @pinktidal: youre*
- [17:01:23] Aleccat: uturn is essential
- [17:01:31] Aleccat: diagnostic is correct
- [17:01:35] @pinktidal: lol
- [17:01:48] new low: essential is a phone
- [17:01:49] @pinktidal: whatever is best for the team
- [17:01:51] Tsareentje: Maybe we need a mime by ourselfs
- [17:01:53] %DurzaOffTopic: while mime is a big factor, its much nicer to chip psychics with uturn
- [17:01:53] %DurzaOffTopic: too
- [17:02:08] Jmash324: U-turn is just safe momentum
- [17:02:10] Aleccat: can we switch parting shot then
- [17:02:16] %DurzaOffTopic: than just putting them at -1
- [17:02:17] Tsareentje: Or is that a bad idea
- [17:02:23] #Xayahh: yea we can easily go U-turn
- [17:02:25] Igirl45: MC Cynix was hacking
- [17:02:28] %DurzaOffTopic: because psychic types are the best switch in to fightvally
- [17:02:33] #Xayahh: I agree with that
- [17:02:37] %DurzaOffTopic: and murk can beat them regardless of -1 or not
- [17:02:56] @pinktidal: what psychics are there besides mime/pig?
- [17:03:03] Aleccat: dark/fighting/psy core i'm presuming the goal is?
- [17:03:07] new low: do we have any water-ground types?
- [17:03:11] %DurzaOffTopic: kadabra
- [17:03:13] Tsareentje: Beheeyem
- [17:03:22] @pinktidal: murk always loses to kadabra

- [17:04:16] %DurzaOffTopic: yeah but tort doesn't.
- [17:04:23] @pinktidal: true
- [17:04:27] Tsareentje: we have enough cool psychics in zu
- [17:04:27] Aleccat: who is zong and i'm not sure about tang but probably
- [17:04:27] #Diagnostic: So far let me list some issues with our core so people can give proper suggestions of how to EV this.
- [17:04:28] %DurzaOffTopic: and metang blocks pshot too

- [17:08:26] @pinktidal: like 60 im p sure

- [17:09:13] Aleccat: ditto
- [17:09:14] Aleccat: ditto
- [17:09:23] #Diagnostic: Make sure we can check those so far when making decisions.
- [17:09:30] #Diagnostic: We lack speed control.
- [17:09:36] #Xayahh: yea was about to say that too
- [17:09:43] Aleccat: choice scarf ditto outspeeds all
- [17:09:47] #Xayahh: this team is very offensive, it's worth going down that route
- [17:10:04] #Xayahh: Grumpig is a solid option, combined with some form of fast Scarfer like maybe Manectric
- [17:10:20] Aleccat: grumpig is gr8 i agree but not the cm variant
- [17:10:22] %DurzaOffTopic: i want a scarfer that can beat the things listed
- [17:10:30] @pinktidal: pig first with twave
- [17:10:34] @pinktidal: checks all those
- [17:10:40] #Diagnostic: We need a psychic type that solidifies our Dark-Psychic-Fighting core but assists with speed.
- [17:10:50] #Xayahh: we can go Kadabra
- [17:10:51] #Xayahh: actually
- [17:11:00] @pinktidal: offensive route
- [17:11:03] @pinktidal: sounds cool
- [17:11:05] #Xayahh: SashBra works wonders as an emergency check to things in general
- [17:11:08] SergioRules: what's the hp on silvally for out of curiousity
- [17:11:10] #Xayahh: makes the ream REALLY offensive
- [17:11:12] #Diagnostic: Kadabra also uses T-wave and fits very well on offensive cores.
- [17:11:15] SergioRules: like why 240
- [17:11:27] Igirl45: slay me Aleccat
- [17:11:31] @pinktidal: scared af of vire/dash now
- [17:11:44] %DurzaOffTopic: how much speed does rp tort run
- [17:11:45] #Diagnostic: This also gives you a status absorber and something to switch into leech seed or passive attempts to wear down your squad.
- [17:12:04] #Xayahh: yea I like Kadabra
- [17:12:14] %DurzaOffTopic: first time i actually liked kadabra
- [17:12:15] #Xayahh: RP Tort should be max Jolly
- [17:12:21] #Xayahh: because of Scarf Frosttom
- [17:12:24] Aleccat: i dislike kadabra in this because we have no switchins assuming fast fightvally
- [17:12:44] @pinktidal: we could run a scarfer that helps with em
- [17:12:59] @pinktidal: but id definelty rather use pig over kadabra
- [17:13:09] Igirl45: Aleccat is my cuz
- [17:13:19] SergioRules: I was thinking scarf duggy-a if we're scared of dash/vire
- [17:13:24] Aleccat: stop harassing me igirl45
- [17:13:25] SergioRules: but that seems piss weak
- [17:13:57] @pinktidal: pig + ugly solidifies our team defensively
- [17:14:03] +LightPinkYoshi: scarf pinsir could also be an option, but is slower than frosttom
- [17:14:06] @pinktidal: idk what scarfer helps 2/ abra
- [17:14:11] @pinktidal: w/*
- [17:14:22] #Diagnostic: Also I prefer SD Fightvally over a toxic variant on this team so that you always beat Vigoroth and SE pokemon that can take a multi-attack.
- [17:14:22] +LightPinkYoshi: i like ugly as well pink
- [17:14:37] #Diagnostic: Toxic Fightvally is too passive on this team.
- [17:14:52] SergioRules: people actually use purugly here huh
- [17:14:58] @pinktidal: its good
- [17:15:05] +LightPinkYoshi: purugly is fire
- [17:15:09] #Diagnostic: Plus no psychic type wants to take a +2 U-turn.
- [17:15:22] +LightPinkYoshi: fake out + return kills so many offensive mons
- [17:15:25] %DurzaOffTopic: purugly is super good rn
- [17:15:29] @pinktidal: no toxic seems weird
- [17:15:35] %DurzaOffTopic: like i always switch my intimidate mon in

- [17:15:40] Igirl45: ...
- [17:15:41] Igirl45: ;-;
- [17:15:45] Aleccat: i too think we should go sd uturn fightvally
- [17:16:07] Tsareentje: Purugly seems good for this team actually
- [17:16:24] Tsareentje: but then we really need something for fighting
- [17:16:27] %DurzaOffTopic: im not sure about purugly because of its lack of defensive purpose and actually specific purpose
- [17:16:28] @pinktidal: pig
- [17:16:28] %DurzaOffTopic: on the team
- [17:16:31] %DurzaOffTopic: we need a fight resist

- [17:16:57] Tsareentje: it is always good option with tort
- [17:17:04] Aleccat: purugly would make our fighting weakness a lot more apparent, and it just wouldn't work with only one slot left
- [17:17:15] @pinktidal: it works fine
- [17:17:17] @pinktidal: prio spam
- [17:17:24] Aleccat: pig all the way

- [17:17:33] Tsareentje: Just add pig
- [17:17:37] Tsareentje: we need it too much
- [17:17:38] +LightPinkYoshi: ugly beats dash + vire 1v1 assuming fake out
- [17:17:46] Aleccat: pig would give us a solid core
- [17:17:47] Tsareentje: combusken will take us ez aswell

- [17:35:24] Tsareentje: Trick is big advantage for this team too
- [17:35:28] #Diagnostic: /announce We will be doing team optimization after we conclude our 6 members and take into account current team weaknesses. Don't fret on current sets or nomination decisions.
- [17:35:43] +LightPinkYoshi: yeah trick really is a deciding factor on this one

- [17:36:13] #Xayahh: here's what the team looks like right now!
- [17:36:33] #Xayahh: now we go into the optimization stage, which will be led more by Diagnostic
- [17:36:37] @pinktidal: looks a lil slow but pretty cool otherwise
- [17:37:02] +LightPinkYoshi: our only priority being sucker punch is a little scary
- [17:37:11] Tsareentje: ^
- [17:37:19] Tsareentje: The speeds are decent enough
- [17:37:48] Tsareentje: But I am a slow player, hihi
- [17:37:55] +LightPinkYoshi: i play exclusively fast lol
- [17:38:30] +LightPinkYoshi: winning with this team is going to almost require one of the set up sweepers working
- [17:39:07] Tsareentje: Checking tort is pretty hard actually
- [17:39:12] Tsareentje: cant say about murk
- [17:39:15] Tsareentje: never used it
- [17:39:27] #Diagnostic: Alright. First things first, we should be asking ourselves what type of threats does our team lose against so far.
- [17:40:04] Tsareentje: Burns are scary for this team
- [17:40:15] z3ll1: is it just me or do all workshops end up with tort grumpig and frosttom?
- [17:40:35] Tsareentje: They are just too useful
- [17:40:56] z3ll1: yeah but it gets boring
- [17:41:02] #Diagnostic: We have a nice pivoting core in Fightvally + Probopass + Rotom-Frost along with an offensive core that attempts to remove threats such as Lycanroc and Rotom-Frost so that Murkrow can function.
- [17:41:21] SergioRules: lycanroc does a number since both resists are bopped by either one of the coverage moves it runs
- [17:41:30] SergioRules: being drill run vs fire fang
- [17:41:51] SergioRules: wait tort is occa nvm
- [17:41:53] #Diagnostic: And z3ll, that happens when role compression is easy and the mon is ranked high on the VR.
- [17:42:00] SergioRules: I thought it was still yache
- [17:42:15] Tsareentje: Nono we are ok against lycam
- [17:42:17] +LightPinkYoshi: +2 drill run only does 39-46 vs our silv fighting spread
- [17:43:24] #Diagnostic: If anyone thinks that we should have any changes, please PM me one nomination and tell me what we need to check.
- [17:44:06] Tsareentje: Like someone said be fore bouff can really threaten this team
- [17:44:11] Tsareentje: Before
- [17:44:24] #Diagnostic: A poll will be brought up for a group consensus after the PM's.
- [17:44:54] Tsareentje: And hp fighting chatot is a problem too
- [17:44:57] igirl45 was unbanned from ZU by Kalalokki.
- [17:44:59] SergioRules: yeah bouf check is wearing it down with something then picking it up with fightvally
- [17:45:43] +LightPinkYoshi: this team is also not a fan at all of banded granbull
- [17:46:13] #Diagnostic: This is SpD Probopass, chatot is not that bad even with HP coverage against probo.
- [17:47:58] #Diagnostic: /announce Any other issues you think we need to cover? Does this team have a handle versus popular playstyles like Rain, Z-Lycanroc cores, and stall?
- [17:48:17] @pinktidal: rain is rough
- [17:48:22] +LightPinkYoshi: true
- [17:48:24] #Diagnostic: You need to have that mentality when QCing your team composition.
- [17:48:28] @pinktidal: lycan isnt a huge threat
- [17:48:35] +LightPinkYoshi: stall and z lycanrock seems pretty alright
- [17:48:35] @pinktidal: multiple checks
- [17:48:46] Tsareentje: This team is good enough against stall
- [17:49:18] +LightPinkYoshi: my teambuilding ends up just saying ok ill try to beat everything but stall and just insta quit vs that -_-
- [17:49:20] +LightPinkYoshi: its a problem
- [17:49:26] @pinktidal: still think frost is bad though
- [17:51:16] +LightPinkYoshi: scarf alola-chu is a possibility to give us a better rain matchup but not having trick + the overall mediocrity of the set outside of vs rain hurts
- [17:51:20] #Diagnostic: /announce Let's go over how our team fares against the S rank through A- VR list and configure our team around dealing with those common threats. Anyone wants to start?
- [17:51:27] @pinktidal: we dont have alola chu
- [17:51:30] #Diagnostic: There's no Alolachu in ZU.
- [17:51:37] +LightPinkYoshi: *normal chu
- [17:51:38] +LightPinkYoshi: my b
- [17:52:30] +LightPinkYoshi: Our 2 set up mons hate rotom-F but we incorporated two common checks in grumpig and probo to deal with that, fridge is something that needs to die before a sweep can start tho
- [17:52:31] #Diagnostic: Manectric has switcheroo and pressures rain.
- [17:52:41] Tsareentje: Yea mane is better then
- [17:53:04] +LightPinkYoshi: what are you saccing for switcheroo then, hp grass id assume?
- [17:53:17] @pinktidal: yh
- [17:53:24] @pinktidal: always need 2 stab and overheat
- [17:53:35] Tsareentje: It is no pu here so no gastro for is
- [17:53:42] Tsareentje: And no lanturn
- [17:53:52] Tsareentje: So hp grass is less needed
- [17:53:55] @pinktidal: i mean golem and chinch wall
- [17:54:29] Tsareentje: Y
- [17:54:46] +LightPinkYoshi: speaking of golem, our best answer to it is one of our win cons so it can be a problem if played right
- [17:56:03] #Diagnostic: This team also hates Sub Salac Simipour and other offensive threats that can abuse this composition. We also don't fare well versus HO teams such as Trick Room / Weather.
- [17:56:34] @pinktidal: scarf pour
- [17:56:37] @pinktidal: best mon
- [17:56:49] @pinktidal: TR doesnt look too bad
- [17:56:57] @pinktidal: but rain is definetly a bitch
- [17:57:18] Tsareentje: Rain checking in a team is closely impossible
- [17:57:40] Tsareentje: The power is just so hard to check
- [17:57:43] +LightPinkYoshi: our answers to z-me first pinsir are entirely dependant on the move slots it chooses
- [17:57:45] #Diagnostic: We have nearly 0 checks to Wishiwashi under TR. See a common theme? We have no offensive water checks which run through our core.
- [17:57:47] z3ll1: poliwrath does it pretty well
- [17:58:18] #Diagnostic: Ice Beam Poliwrath annoys our team too.
- [17:58:32] +LightPinkYoshi: a common theme in all these threats is that poliwrath seems to do pretty well vs them
- [17:59:11] z3ll1: as i suggested: use special offensive poli
- [17:59:18] z3ll1: also adds another prio user
- [17:59:23] #Diagnostic: So where would we be able to substitute poliwrath for in this team?
- [18:00:14] #Diagnostic: /announce Murkrow is what the team is centered around and cannot be removed in this composition.
- [18:00:32] z3ll1: it's hard to decide
- [18:00:34] Tsareentje: We cant really swap something easily
- [18:00:45] @pinktidal: i think the team is solid as is]
- [18:01:11] z3ll1: maybe swap frosttom for manectric and and vally/grump for poli
- [18:01:41] Tsareentje: Losing a defogger is hard
- [18:01:44] #Diagnostic: So if the team cannot shift out their members due to role viability, do we agree that the team is done and accept the teams current weaknesses?
- [18:01:54] Tsareentje: Yea
- [18:02:19] +LightPinkYoshi: keep in mind that everyone is free to mak
- [18:02:24] +LightPinkYoshi: *make changes as they want to
- [18:03:18] z3ll1: hm i think i'll create my own team, murkrow is a nice mon
- [18:03:39] Diagnostic used /poll create Is this team done and do we accept the current weaknesses of this team?, Yes, No
- [18:03:39] (A poll was started by Diagnostic.)
- [18:03:59] Tsareentje: I dont use murk because I am in love with vullaby
- [18:04:07] Tsareentje: c:
- [18:04:50] The poll timer was turned on: the poll will end in 5 minute(s).
- [18:04:50] (The poll timer was set to 5 minute(s) by Diagnostic.)
- [18:05:48] #Diagnostic: Please answer the poll before it ends so we can have a consensus on what to do next.
- [18:07:23] Tsareentje: Big thanks to you, diagnostic :]
- [18:08:15] #Diagnostic: Thank you, this couldn't have been done without the assistance of everyone who participated so thank you all.
- [18:08:41] @pinktidal: was fun
- [18:08:48] Tsareentje: Finally I could participate a workshop
