hard trick room feels super legit in this format, folks are very very unprepared for it and don't pack a lot of counters. i highly recommend ppl try it out

@R5862609585808 Oh see I'm licking my chops as a hard TR player seeing my opponent lead a mon that obviously wants to imprison me, because it's a free 2v1 for me to do more damage

@SurgeVGC Actually setting up trick room is kinda rough for me rn because it feels like every other team has imprison sinitcha or farigiraf

@lecheconfleisfr Truthfully I don't think the sauce is using a dedicated "TR mega" at all. I've seen success using Zard Y in TR, taking inspiration from a player who finished in Champions tier last season with it on hard TR.

@SurgeVGC Some days, you wake up and you’re Balance Team Enjoyer I Just Rock Slie Flinched. Other days, you’re Da King Of Da Format. It’s all a matter of perspective.

@FomTarro It constantly amazes me how many of the fire resists get 2 shot by HH Charcoal Eruption, Incineroar and Tyranitar being the exceptions that immediately comes to mind, but that’s what the fighting type mon is there for!

@HunterButOnTwt @AgatiGa It’s like 50/50 to survive adamant sneasler CC through chople. Unless you waste a ton of points in defense that def aren’t worth it

@AgatiGa …Chople Berry was for the other Kingambit? I thought y’all were running it to survive Sneasler CCs.

@KingambitPlayers I have a proposal. We all agree to never run Low Kick again so we can run Iron Head without being in a mirror disadvantage. Your Fairy matchup is fixed, Chople Berry is no longer needed and you can run Black Glasses too! Everyone wins

@Gooseissocool Ooo ya mega blastoise is a bit of a problem. It’s a little anti meta at the moment but something I should def have more consistent answers for

@SurgeVGC I wouldnt say that, the mirror match into smth like Mega blastoise and Rain Dance Farig isn't the best and farig’s damage to pick off things that live eruption isnt the best either

@OomfOfAnOomf Once that TR is up tho, sinistcha folds like origami to TR sweepers that hit the field. Can run Colbur for Gambit or Occa for Torkoal but it can’t do both lol

@chowitzer I disagree, the only thing we’re really missing is psychic terrain. We still have hatterene, Torkoal, Kingambit, and even some fun TR megas to play with. Just bc there are no Ursalunas doesn’t mean it’s unviable

@SurgeVGC Hard TR doesn't have as many tools in this format as in SV, the setters and sweepers available just aren't as good in the same quantity. Still totally viable of course but not something I want to run.

@its_gloooom You def have to be aggressive on the switches to get your positioning right, and a Feint user goes a long way on a trick room team

@SurgeVGC The sweepers aren’t good and folks are just stalling with Protect and switches I’m a huge TR fan and just couldn’t get anything going, once I set TR it was hard for me to actually get my sweepers onto the field without an Eject Pack

@Gooseissocool Torkoal and Farigiraf are practically impossible to counter once they’re in position, guaranteed way to clear the board

Opp went 3/3 on Politoed Hypnosis and won 2/2 speed ties against my Hatterene and I still pulled out the W. I won’t pretend to claim the world champ diff so I’ll call that the #LocalParticipantDifference
