Wondering if you have any thoughts on this TR team. I've been pretty stagnant around 1400s-1500s with it, and I feel that maybe Toxapex or Magearna could be improved/replaced. I tried Hatterene which sucked, and I felt that just slapping Lefties/HDB on everything would be fine as a replacement for hazard removal, which is even rarer for TR.

make sure you practice 40 hours a day!

Hey J, I've heard things about Tera Dark Calyrex-S being pretty good in the current post-home AG meta, but I haven't seen any sample sets or whatnot yet so I'm not sure what set Caly-S runs rn. I messed around with Tera Dark Scarf CalyS but I'm not sure if that's the set people are talking about, or if it is even that good and a different Tera is better.
Btw, what sets do the sword doggo run these days? I tried ZacianC with Trailblaze+CC and BB, and with Swords Dance, but would forgoing Trailblaze for a different move or Tera type+Tera blast be good, or would just slapping Play Rough on it be the best choice? Also, sorry for all these questions, I just haven't been playing much Gen 9 AG and Hallu said that you've been playing it

the tm still stands!! :D fuifuifuifui

also is the ling ling a twoset reference or am i just making that up

True... Idt I'll end up posting it.

Do you think I could post this on the Battle Replay thread? The last few turns showcase Substitute + Metronome Basculegion-F.

Yeah gazard removal is almost no existent, I’ve even seen people bring Iron Treads to get around using HDB. I’m definitely gonna tweak the EVs and moves a bit, and maybe replace Giratina with another effective hazard removal or a hazard setter, probably Ting-Lu. Arceus-Dark as utility is great as well, shutting down pretty much any lead with Taunt.

Procrastination is inevitable I guess. Something I’ve been playing around with, probably terrible but has been working in this hellscape of a meta. I was about 1450 when I started, and got up to almost 1600.
