Definitely came back from what was looking to be a bleak battle.

Not the greatest replay, but after all my losses, I didn't think the ol Cross Counter would work, lol. Hitmonchan sure knows how to throw a haymaker.

My original plan was to make it a Pursuit trapper but given the fact Pursuit is banned, I knew that wouldn’t be possible.

I’ve got a Specially Defensive one at the moment, with Sucker Punch, Foul Play, Will-O-Wisp and Disable. I’ve given it the Figy Berry and Infiltrator too.

Anybody wanna play ZU

If not how can I improve it?

Gen 9 OU

[1103] https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9metronomebattle-2266829356

The timing and frequency of crits, misses, paralysis, sleep length, damage, team matchups. So hard to comprehend what you're going to get every game.

In-game I decide if its worth my mental energy to work through a match where so much bs is happening.

Normally if I stay determined I actually come out on top but feel exhausted after- then I play again :/

hello :o). i'm new to pokemon showdown and have a tournament coming up soon. uf anyone would tell me how they would fix up this team or what strategy they would use i would greatly appreciate it.

HAHAHAHA WEATHER TEAMS LOOK AND DISPAIR

Doubles OU Gen 9

https://pokepast.es/300fcbf40692c8fc (I started playing only a few days ago, I have no idea what I'm doing)

It's for ubers btw (It's completely obvious but the bot said I should include the tier so, yeah)

https://pokepast.es/eaef38f5be94c725

This is a pretty standard sticky web offense team for gen 9 OU that I came up with, and I always use ribombee as a suicide lead, with a first turn sticky web and a second turn stun spore if I'm facing an attacker/spinner with tera ghost, or skill swap if I'm facing a utility mon like gliscor.

The rest of the team is just optimized for setup sweeping. Is this a good team strategy?

(New player here) After I won a battle against a guy, he said on chat something like "I can't help but give applause to your team despite how deplorable your strategies are" (I took it as a compliment lol)

Is it really an annoying team? It's basically just a bunch of ideas I put together in a team.

I've been playing on showdown for years, and I'm not sure if it's just a me issue, but every time I get into a game, I have to turn the volume way way down, for reference, usually it sits at 60% but on showdown I often have to turn it down to 20-25% Is there a volume slider on the site that I missed?

I'd like to know how effective this team is so I can know if I'm just really bad or if my team is bad alongside me

I've asked ChatGPT but it's made to affirm me, so I'd like some feedback from real people

I lead with Cinderace and Inteleon and try to pair Hawlucha and Clefable together when I use them

the exact reason for 103 speed is to outspeed max speed flutter mane after tailwind.
