Pinkacross

yo pink. I've been trying to make chesnaught work in our because I like the guy and I saw that it did pretty well into kingambit, hsam, waterpon lacking play rough, and even ghold when you tera bc Shadow Ball is a bullet move so i cooked up this team but I noticed that that I'm got a hazard removal problem. I have treads but putting all the pressure of removal is not very healthy for this team but I don't know what to change on my team currently. It would be amazing if I could get some feedback form you. (PS I'm pretty bad at building teams and will probably sit at around 1400s for the rest of my life)

Hey pinkacross. I was wondering if you could rate this team. It is working pretty well on ladder, but I fell like it is missing something.The team is also weak to Willo Wisp cinderace from what I haveseen, but I don't know what to change. https://pokepast.es/b73605dcf7c59869

hey pink, ive been testing andfound this team works well, any advice? https://pokepast.es/d1a9e43bc3cf7187

Hello Pinkacross! I'm new to competitive Pokémon and wanted to make an OU team for the Project Bronze Forever meta based on Cinderace because I loved his Court Change move. Thus, my friend and I took inspiration from many of your teams with Cinderace, and decided to make something like this. The main idea is for Slowking to pivot into either Cinderace, Arctozolt, or Lopunny with Chilly Reception depending on the opponents move. Mega Lopunny covers Slowking's Dark and Ghost weakness, Arctozolt breaks through stalls, and Cinderace prevents hazards.

Similar to Eden, Arctozolt is like our Chien Pao. However, we couldn't find any Pokemon that could fit the role of Dondozo, a pokemon that is defensive but can also output great damage. Thus, we struggled to create a defensive core that would be able to support the team (especially support Slowking as it is the center of the pivoting). We also tested multiple variants (SpDef Tyranitar, SpDef Aegislash, SpDef Umbreon and others).


Additionally, we noticed that Cinderace paired well with Great Tusk due to its Rapid Spin move, but noticed that there aren't many bulky Rapid Spinners in our meta as shown in this image:


As most competitive people are probably not familiar with the Project Bronze Forever meta, I can redirect you to the official PBF Colosseum Discord which has a role compendium as shown above. I will also link some sample teams from this Pokemon Bronze Forever:

• Scarf Dracovish Rain team
• Mega Medicham + Ash Gren BO
• Mega medicham + Tapu koko BO
• Mega Char Y + Band Ttar
• Psyspam
• Stall (PBF OU)
• Rain
• GENGAR-M BALANCE (PBF AG)
• MEGA SALAMENCE (PBF AG)
• MLop
• MDiancie (ft. Keldeo)
• Koko medivile
• Houndoom Sun
• Mega diancie + Hazard stack
• Volcanion offense
• Rain
• Mega Banette Balance
• Lopunny Balance
• Sand + AV Alo
• Mega Lopunny Bulky Offense
• Standard Rain
• Mega Latias Stack
• Torkoal Sun

Thank you so much for your time! Hopefully my post works (I made my account to contact you ).

Good evening Pink! Been a fan for a while and finally decided to ladder. I really wanna learn how to get good at teambuilding since I'm vary bad right now. I'd appreciate it if you could give me pointers on this team. P.S. I really wanna use Scizor

Hi Pink! I really thought the pivoting Raging Bolt core in your recent video was nice, so I tried making one myself. I don't know what its holes are and how to improve it anymore, so I'd love an opinion on it! Adding this to a fixing viewers teams might be cool too, so people can see how pros and noobs take a similar core/concept and how you would build around it and how I butchered it.

https://pokepast.es/bea6d850fe39d577

Could you have a look at this team? It's a Bulky Offense with CM Val and Mixed Kyurem as the breaking core with the defensive pieces that are capable of make aggressive progress themselves. After breaking mid-ladder, I felt like reached the limit of refining it on my own so I'd like a more knowledgeable opinion on whether the team can be improved further.

Hello, I’m a new and terrible player and even worse teambuilder, but I think I made a team that has potential at least in concept. If you have the time, I’d appreciate if you could look it over and help a little! I hit 1500 twice before tilting, which isn’t that high (skill issue or team issue I’m not sure) but I would like to note I couldn’t hit 1400 in OU with any other team. The inspiration was a rest-o-berry dnite since rest cured status and the heal could trigger multisvale again. Surprisingly worked a lot, the funny dragon is probably behind 75% of my wins. Specs bolt comes into tanky birds that dnite doesn’t like and can deal big damage or pivot. I have Delphox as a gimmickey shitmon thats (sort of) speedy. I used the fire special speedster called Iron Moth until 1300 but stopped because I reeaallly hate that thing. I doubt the teambuilder has any room for favoritism but I don’t give two fox.

Pastes:
Fox
Bug

An obvious improvement would be relegating the fox to the depths of PU where it would never see the face of scary behemoths like Glowking and Walking wake ever again, but I like the challenge and uniqueness (Look at me I’m so special!) that using the starter presents, though I’m not entirely opposed to replacing it. I’m mostly looking for help on the structure of the team and roles that each member provides. Iron defense Zama cooks me way too often. If I can’t get dragonite to punch holes in my opponents lineup, the team is unthreatening and can break apart easily. Additionally, I lack the firepower to force past bulky compositions, stall obviously included.

Big fan of your content, thanks in advance!

Hey pink, just got into pokemon showdown for 6 days now and been having fun on ubers and double ubers. can you rate this team for me? thanks alot in advance, big help!

Hello, I built my first Gen 8 National Dex team, and don't know what to improve on. One thought I have is replacing Mega Lopunny with Chansey. Is it possible to get some advice?

https://pokepast.es/8170d619ff6ad25d

Hi Pinkacross, I have made a crawdaunt team, because I absolutely despise stall, but I feel like this team gets wrecked hard by iron moth(could also be a skill issue). Can you give me some advice on it?

I have made a forum post too if you want an explanation on why I chose a specific pokemon

Thanks :)

https://pokepast.es/3a46771398e46443 would you mind using this in the fixing viewers teams vid? Thanks!

https://pokepast.es/2b12b8ee6712205a hey I have this national dex team I need to improve. got any advice on it respond at your own accord.

Yo ive been trying to build a good SD lokix team for a while but havent been having much success, not sure if the teams are bad or i js suck. this is the team im trying rn, i kind of just threw it together, do you think you could save me on this and make it good.

https://pokepast.es/5da88c94d5fd125c
https://pokepast.es/b839a3cd2be2e74e

This is two different versions (idk if either are good)

https://pokepast.es/05acc1904d8c49f3 would you mind using this team in your next fixing teams vid

Given your growth as a content creator, are you still cool with people posting on your profile to get quick feedback on teams or would you rather want people to join your Discord and share the team with your community?

Granted this isn't super high ladder but here's that bee team putting in work against a 1800's player with aqua Jet alo being clutch (Ignore the crit). Also a big issue I noticed is this team gets dogged on by toxic protect Aegislash. I tried ghostium on lele but it was too situational to justify, I'm not really a teambuilder I just steal teams and grind ladder but what do you think about fini instead of lele on this team?

I watched your new statistics video and you teach it way better than my math teacher. I love your content, but I can't comment on your videos because of my school.

Yo Mr Cross,
Been a sand user since gen 5 and try to build a sand team every meta and can usually hit top 20~

This gen has been cooking me. It's hard for me to build a sand team that has a defensive enough core that can also handle corv... last gen I had Zolt but he's been deleted.

https://pokepast.es/652d13ad17d07d07

This is the best I've gotten so far, currently sitting at 1800. (Ive tried Wisp/hex pult and trick wisp rotom, but it seems I need the specs blast and tbolt damage from the two to deal with Corv). Ive tried Terra Blast variants of Exca but just didn't click it enough, and most of the time just wish I had the EQ boost.

You got any advice? It's a solid sand team, I think you should try it out. Clef and Mandi both being immune to sand feels really nice and scarf Terra electric tbolt from Rotom is an underrated win condition.

Hello Pinkacross, This is a bit random, but would you happen to know why Cinderace uses Blaze instead of Libero in this strong sample team?
https://pokepast.es/f193d007e6645393 I have just been very curious about it.

https://pokepast.es/98796f4aee3fb1d7 rate da team pls

Hi Pinkacross, I was hoping for some teambuilding advice for this team i build around a hydrapple tinkaton core https://pokepast.es/a7d3d8dc04d22f61 i havent faced any glaring issues yet but i get the feeling something is missing but i cant quite put a finger on what

Here is a team I built inspired by some of your vids. I think it is passable but needs some improvement. https://pokepast.es/d0d697c9a5958f9d RMT Thread: https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/crit-me-not-iron-crown-offense.3762811/

Hello I'd like to show you a team I like it but I feel like it ain't good. It's basically meteor beam Glimmora. https://pokepast.es/13a71766f65b6a4a
