      @MoxieBoostedBattlePass I know you probably won’t see this but for college I have to do an ethnographic (pertaining to culture and cultural beliefs) essay, and besides defining how it is a culture I have to have a central theme or argument and as I couldn’t think of anything other than how pokemon is largely enjoyed by many different age demographics, I couldn’t help but think of the competitive scene leading me to you ( with you being one of the only two competitive players I watch). I was wondering if I can interview over emails.

    I got into 1400s with Wide Guard Chestnaught, since all super effective hits on it are usually spread moves(glacial Lance, dazzling gleam, bleakwind storm, expanding force), and resists most popular ground coverage(high horse power on Ice Rider and earth power on Terrapagos). With taunt/protect and iron defence + body press it can set up against any single target physical attacks

    Required reading for every restricted format...memorize every Mon that learns wide guard as the vast majority are viable as niche picks

  • @pyreaero722
    @pyreaero722 10 дней назад +2

    So something I had thought of, that very well could be trash but here it is anyways.
    Since Araquanid has filler moves in its set in most cases, could one of the moves it runs be power split?
    The only reason I even think of it, is because 99% of the time it’s getting its main value from wide guard and liquidation.
    In a format where a lot of restricted mons are running clear amulet, Araquanid’s middling to poor attack stats allow it act as damage mitigation without having to take multiple turns to knock off the amulet. Could pressure a switch if suddenly your mon has its damage/boosting potential cut significantly.
    It also has the benefit of pumping up your attack stat in a lot of cases and creating more damage potential for your already really strong liquidations.
    It definitely errs on the side of gimmicky, but it’s an interesting niche that I think could use exploring. Obviously problems with the move involve basically requiring trick room+fake out support to actually get mileage out of it, and in a decent amount of cases, you may just get more value raw from clicking liquidation and dealing damage instead.

    I'm not so convinced about wide guard lunala. After you use your meteor beam you get walled by so many mons, I'd rather have some coverage like moonblast or psychic to not get walled and at least hit for neutral. And also, since mienshao pairs so well with shadow rider calyrex, why wouldn't the other psychic-ghost legendary be good with it? You run wide guard on mienshao while lunala goes for its setups, I think that'd work great

      Simple solution is _don’t run Murkrow._ It’s not good lol.
      The Crow hasn’t been relevant since the beginning of Series 1 (there is no Reg A), and Whimsicott is strictly better, having access to Encore. Even then Whimsicott is extremely niche when compared to the Genes, especially Torn, which does almost everything it does better.
      Teambuilding is very much a way to express yourself, and if you’re struggling to find use for a Pokémon, it’s usually better to try something else completely. I built a Dialga-O light Trick Room team, and was just never able to justify bringing my Cresselia to games over my other Pokémon. I scrapped her and added Iron Boulder instead, and the team felt SO much better afterwards.
      If you _want_ to run Murkrow, try to build around it, rather than try to slot it into teams, but even then it’ll basically just be you trying to force it to work, which doesn’t ever feel good.
