Ok lads im done trying to build creative teams, even when they work out they're not as consistent as the standard stuff so im just going to be a metafag from here on out. I'm choosing Terrakion and Cinderace as my core because Fire/Rock is great coverage and Whimsicott of course because it's good for speed control and proccing Terrakion. Should I go for protect or another move on Cinderace, also what should be the last moveslot for Whimsicott?

How do you people manage to use PS? I literally get locked by some retarded ass mod whenever I type anything that's not gg. Is this considered normal there? Does zarel enjoy taking BBCs up his ass? I think PS is the only site on this planet where you can get banned for saying ooga booga to someone.

I get that, but overall interacting with mods there is physically painful. It feels like half of them are 12 and the other half are mentally ill. Is it because their userbase is mostly children? I thought the average age was like 20.

I ask questions or say things relating to the game genuinley, otherwise I keep to glhf/gg. Many people are receptive, but not everyone. I know mods are assholes in the lobbychats but I never fuck with those mouthbreather lounges to begin with.

If you get Sucker Punch on Cinderace he can also boost Terrek. Or if you run Iron Head you can thrive in a sandstorm, plus Steelspike Def boosts save lives.

Usually I enjoy posting links to studies that show IQ or crime rate differences among ethnic groups when playing against people. But it seems the mods there don't need to follow the rules. Not like you need to do much to get punished. Last time I said "slurp slurp" to someone at the end of a game, and I got locked. You can literally only say gg there.

I like to spectate Showderp battles.
Last time I got locked was for saying "loli". I didn't even say it in a sexual context. The opponent just had "loli" in his name and I was referring to him, and that got me banned.

Thunder only has 70% accuracy, so there's a decent chance you'll be screwed by rng at some point.

You may want to expand your coverage options, I noticed a bunch of Thunders that might be better as tbolt on at least Raichu/Rotom. You also have Indeedee and Rotom with fire attacks so there might be a better 4th Slobro move. I think Protect would be safer than Slack Off, you dont get to heal as safely in doubles especially as slow as you are.
I like the core of Raichu Lapras. In S2 before Gmax was legal I ran Lapras/support Raichu combo pretty well. I used both Nuzzle and Speed Swap with 252hp/252speed. I would recommend against both of these moves but if one doesnt work try the other (just picture a Gmax Lapras at base 110 +252 speed AFTER you've already invested your real EVs into defs and SpA).
Also what >>44267787 says if you're committing to surf.

Ally Switch is the most toxic fucking move ever holy shit

The mere presence of Dusclops on the field means a winning play might be a complete throw and vice versa, a complete 50/50 based on whether or not they use a move they might not even have

What a complete fucking cancer

I question running two electric types in this meta (especially with one of them having Lightingrod). I’d sooner put LO on Lapras and weakness policy on Tyranitar, especially since you have Surf (is it even legal btw? I don’t think so). You probably don’t want to use Thunder on anything but Lapras. Tyranitar also doesn’t get much use out of Iron Head, put Protect in there to bait supereffective Dynamax moves.

Overall it doesn’t look bad, I’m sure with some tweaks it might become a competent team.

I like it. Bear with me here, just spitballing, you already have a solid Dark type with Urshifu. Ditch Thievul and just give Snarl to Arcanine. Get rid of Play Rough and get a fairy like Togekiss, Hatterene, or Sylveon. Hat adds TR options which would synergize amazingly with Amoongus.

Thievul with Indeedee Male is pretty nice though, if anything he can change it to Slurpuff which does the same thing but with a more suitable typing.
