Baked a pizza. Ate the pizza. Looked for a third game on casual ladder. Found a Regulation i matchup.
In this one i had to resist bringing the Amoonguss which is incredibly strong here. But various things threaten it, and I’ll probably struggle into Calyrex Ice Rider if I don’t bring Incineroar.

Basically my long term gameplan was to assume they didn’t see Specs Terapagos, but if they *did*, force that Sucker Punch + Close Combat play, go into Groudon. Pivot into Amoonguss and spam Hydro Steam until I claim the weather war and have Groudon + Amoonguss as my win condition.

Likely an even “more unfair” battle for my opponent, yet I found this battle even more interesting to share.
I knew Amoonguss was too good here to not bring, so I had to decide where it fit in. Knowing I want Walking Wake in the lead, Amoonguss is good lead pressure and pivot piece.

I’m not totally sure what the best way to prep for Grand Challenge V is, especially because it was revealed so soon (a little over a week to catch up on everything). I see a lot of teams disrespecting Dual Genie and various orders of Amoonguss still, but not all players are this careless.

I’m starting my Grand Challenge V research now and my early impression is that there are people out there who seem to continue disrespecting Amoonguss.

Dazai would've been the sole reason why Dark Void Smeargle isn't a thing anymore
It would be easier to find a diamong on a pile of random rocks by the river than a team of his without Spore Amoonguss or Neutralizing Gas Weezing

Watching the midgame push with Calyrex-Shadow and Whimsicott feel like a well-timed heist: disrupt Amoonguss, drop Tailwind, and let the offense sing. Grim Neigh keeps the pressure honest, and the tempo swing makes the late game look pretty negotiable.

My direction while thinking about it this morning was actually more along the lines of Reshiram. It’s just Incin Amoonguss Terapagos + Restricted Pokémon. I would like Whimsicott Reshiram here, but I don’t want to be outpaced by Torn Ursh stuff. So I’m considering Groudon Balance!

Sneak preview since nobody posts here and it's fun... anything else people would like to see here? Moves/items/abilities might be okay but most other sites already do that sort of thing. I don't know if the totals are useful either since they're just from main usage section.

My team building strategy (after choosing Perish Lapras as the focal point) was literally staring at this image for 2 minutes. Just Lapras vs the most standard Regulation F+ team.
Water Absorb x Tera Fairy + Incineroar Amoonguss. Mandatory Gothitelle + Flutter Mane. Landorus for the Fake Out Bros.

A line I was building towards was Tornadus Urshifu + Amoonguss Gholdengo. I couldn’t figure out what the last two Pokémon were going to be, considering all of HArcanine, Iron Hands, Rillaboom and Regidrago. As such, I ran with Wolfe’s team. I guess I just needed a different Tailwind setter!
