PeterParquet Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 (edited) Hi, I came back recently from a like 2 years hiatus from pokemmo. This is the only mmo where you can do something like that and when you comeback, everything still as useful as when you leaved. I love competitive pvp but at certain point, during 2020, the meta was just always the same(conkeldurr reign time) so I got bored, but now with HAs and legendaries seems fun again, this game has improved a lot on PVE also. Well, I did top 100(low like 90-80) around 2020 when I was on my peak, but metagame is really different now. I need to learn new mechanics and adapt to the way different meta. Im really rusty now, and my teambuilding capacity it´s just atrocius, after a few trys, i got some succeed with this team. It´s built around togekiss as I love him but he doesnt seem so much play, I understand a bit why after playing him, just because Volca or Serperior are just better doing the same. The problem is that the team is working fine outside Togekiss. Spoiler Mienshao @ Life Orb Ability: Regenerator -Close Combat -Fake Out -Rock Slide -U-turn Gastrodon @ Leftovers Ability: Storm Drain -Stealth Rock -Ice Beam -Scald -Recover Tyranitar @ Assault Vest Ability: Sand Stream -Pursuit -Rock Slide -Crunch -Superpower Togekiss @ Leftovers Ability: Serene Grace -Air Slash -Thunder Wave -Roost -Nasty Plot Starmie @ Life Orb Ability: Natural Cure -Rapid Spin -Ice Beam -Scald -Thunderbolt Weezing @ Leftovers Ability: Neutralizing Gas -Flamethrower -Pain Split -Will-O-Wisp -Haze Gastrodon is Physical invested as he is a really good check for Garchomp, Nite, rain teams, even scizor sometimes. Outside of being the absolute Rotom counter. Im feeling Im lacking against earthquakes and certain menaces like Serperior and any poke that boost himself, as my only true counter is usually weezing and he cant beat them all. Also im suffering lack of prio moves and suffer a lot against fast-boosted sweepers. Edited September 16, 2023 by PeterParquet better comprenheison Link to comment

Outside of being the absolute Rotom counter. Togekiss nowadays is not that great. Now we have Raikou, Suicune, the Serperior you mentioned, Volca. Togekiss was literally a Victim of the Power Creep ™️ , it aren't worthy using it over other mons that are simply better offensively, also defensive Togekiss is not that great because the offenses are very powerful now, while all Togekiss got is lose 8 PP on both Roost and Softboiled. Also, two things about using gastrodon: 1 - It aren't a rotom counter. Basically both cannot touch each other. They can force a Stale position with rotom and that's it. "Rotom can be toxic'ed" and on same way he can toxic your gastro. 2 - If you run Gastrodon, you're not running Jellicent and you had no 100% answer to suicune. Link to comment
