ToTT: /cpg/ has 4 players in the last 16 of OST. Will one of them claim the grand prize? Can anyone defeat Style?

I will ghost him

honestly from a player standpoint perspective c0mp might just be the best player in the tournament left, others have strong people standing behind them (read Style, daftmau5, -Tsunami- etc.) so it's really hard to say how it plays out at this point, I hope some cpg can achieve this.

that's... that's sort of the point of having a competitive general. You can't be competitive without following smogon's rules, unless you count VGC which is trash.

>>23054278
defensively you're going to need something for keldeo, bulky waters in general (especially rotom-w), talonflame and charizards. Offensively you have a lot of options, just make sure you put on a stall breaker since bulky mega scizor doesn't really do too well vs it.

Also how does "being a smogonfag" eliminate other competitive formats? People from smogon can go to a vgc or play on other online communities too, you know. Typical anti-smogon bandwaggoner, trying to force his twisted logic onto the other side in reverse

Aren't you allowed to still bring 6 in 3v3? Also rocks is arbitrary as fuck in that meta because the use of it gets punished and you will barely ever get use out of them, just run like Ice Beam with enough investment to kill like lando or garchomp, or run crunch. Not sure if roar is worth it in that format either, like at all.

You guys completely misunderstand. Of course we follow the Smogon formats instead of VGC bullshit. The problem is when you indulge in their circlejerks and drama instead of pledging your allegiance to /cpg/.

I am so done with this bullshit. I would join PokeRealm if I still could.

Like i just don't get that logic, how is the fact that /cpg/s opinion can literally matter on smogon a bad thing when you say playing by smogon rules is what "we" do. Stop being dumb/poor/a kid.

I plan to build a team with a defensive core like this:

Weezing @Black Sludge
EV: 252 HP 252 Def
Levitate
Will-O-Wisp
Infestation
Sludge Bomb/Clear Smog
Infestation

Tyranitar @Assault Vest
EV: 252 HP 252 SpD
Sandstream
Stone Edge
Super Power
Pursuit
Fire Blast

What do you guys think? Any tips on further team members that would benefit from these guys, or bring something useful to the table?

Personally i'd rather run pain split than rest because you will never pull off a successful rest anyways. Both of these mons are fairly sub-par, ttar isn't really a durable wall, it's better as a strong tank, a sweeper or some other utility (pursuit, rocks, sand, etc). Weezing has a cool plethora of utility moves (wow tspikes, etc) and decent bulk but without reliable recovery it struggles accomplishing much sadly. But ok, generally i'd build something balanced/bulky offensive around that (change the core though, really) and abuse pursuittar - keldeo enjoys the latis or other walls removed for example, you could build around that offensive core and try to cover up weaknesses while having another win condition(s)

Rest is decent in combination with Infestation.

But yeah, it is not really built or efficiency, I just wanted to use Weezing. And typing-wise he has great synergy with Ttar. Since Weezing's best roll is physically defensive, I figured using Ttar's special bulk in sand (enhanced by the vest) to make a special counter part to that would be decent.

It is probably not good in a tryhard competitive session, but yeah... for fun.

Sun is horribly unreliant, if you come up against sand balance and fuck up on your trap attempt, or trio goes down before you can take out the tar you've pretty much lost. There's also the fact that sun overall is ridiculously fragile. If you come up against weatherless you p much win though

It's a good core admittedly but TTar would rather run literally any other item. I enjoy the Gourgeist XL/TTar core, physical/special wall respectively. Just thought I'd mention that seeing as Gourgeist is more viable than Weezing in OU.

Darkrai is banned in smogdubs and vgc, so you gotta resort to smeargle. Honestly i think it'd be fairly shitty since experienced players prepare for sleep/spore spam anyways, also building a team where only dark void will be called is probably going to result in a very sub-par team. It's a fun gimmick, it's possible but it's not exceptionally good
