Wall for Tensa Zangetsu (page 2)

yeah, I still have next year in gen9
plus this is the perfect time to grind up my new account for my rebranding
also i have school and would probably rather put less effort into competitive this year so lol

top 40 didnt matter rip
yeah ik I'm just a really socially awkward person so I kinda hope that I don't have to reach out to others lol

Also there was a whole entire debate about legendaries and switching out in competitive Pokemon by a NDUU room driver and someone who doesn't like using legendaries LMAO

Yeah NDUU is less offense oriented, the most common type of teams there are Bulky Offense teams, there are HO teams and stall teams that will be be seen. (I've been using HO teams lately there). I also signed up for NDFL but didn't get drafted, I forgot to reach out to managers, but maybe it's for the best so I can focus on the NU Seasonals Tournament.

yeah I didn't know that I should have reached out to managers lol, I kinda thought they went off of ladder rating and stats

Yeah, quite a shame for MBeedrill since it has a cool design... And as for Iron Moth, it is manageable at times, but the set that pushes it imo is its pivot set:

Iron Moth @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Quark Drive
Tera Type: Fire
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Fiery Dance
- Sludge Wave
- U-turn
- Morning Sun

Want to switch Ting-Lu to check Iron Moth? Get U-turned on and now you have a Mienshao staring you down. There's also this funny Ting-Lu overload HO strat that uses Grassium Z Blacephalon to severely weaken or OHKO Ting-Lu depending on how much you chipped Ting-Lu, which opens up for Booster Energy: Speed Iron Moth to clean late game. It also doesn't help NDOU took a check in Mega Tyranitar, who still did get chipped by Iron Moth's pivot set.

I already tried M. Pinsir Bug, it works, but bug does suck into matchups like Electric xd. NDUU is fine, Clefable is the best Pokemon in NDUU, Iron Moth is cringe, there's probably some consideration of NDUU retesting to unban Kommo-o, Mega Pinsir, and Drizzle. Also, Mega Beedrill is literally made fun of on the NDUU VR in the D rank section lmao

also hitting 1600 with 36 games is genuinely insane, I feel like I always match up with lower elo players and either gain almost no elo or lose massive chunks

Oh yeah, I also have been playing NatDex UU lately lol

Ohh and if you play NatDex OU, will ladder let Mega Banette drop to NDUU anytime soon? It will still be bad in NDUU and would eventually drop, but at least there it has a 70% chance to trade with a Pokemon, which is better than Mega Beedrill, who has a 100% chance of doing nothing in NDUU. I kind of wish Mega Banette had like +20 to its base speed, Tough Claws, and Play Rough so I could use Swords Dance Mega Banette in a NatDex format and feel good about it.
