I've been working on a magnezone hazard stack team for a while. The team is designed to spinblock with sinistcha, trap gambit/corv/skarm with zone, and break with hazard stack + weavile.

Sucker punch is run despite scarf as a hedge against setup/booster speed. Psychic noise on glowking is run primarily for moth, tera poison darkrai, and i-def garg. p.s. this is my third time posting, it seemed like my comment kept getting deleted when I posted the link to the paste for some reason.

Iron Crown and Primarina as AV users definitely pair well, and using tera poison primarina you can nearly always beat Darkrai and Iron Crown can provide momentum to primarina, check special attackers and stops some hazard leads. It is kinda cool to see two AV users that pair fairly well this gen. Lots of good balance mons this gen that honestly would thrive in meta without waterpon and kyurem threatening balances all the time.
most of the time when i try to build balance it ends up being more on the bulky offense side of things, so this video oughta come in clutch building a serperior balance in UU before it inevitably gets banned
Another amazing video to add to the team building series. I feel like one of the most important parts of this video that may not be as appreciated as it should be is what you were saying from 12:30 to 13:00. Where in the point you were getting at is an important thing to be black pilled on during the team building process; that being, there are some mons that you just can't build a traditionally good balence comp around. This is especially true when your trying to build with unorthodox lower tier offense picks. For example I've been expirementing with using a scarf Regiedrago in OU cause I like when dragon energy goes brrr. But in order to get away with running a greedy pick like this it became evident that adding a defensive structure to the team that can cover all or even most of the threats in OU is impossible, especially since I'd basically be try to do this with only 5 mons. Wincon wise Drago has be on a team qhere ideally the games close to ending before full hazzards can be established by the opponent . So once i adopted that mindset and atartwd worrying more about how I can consistently break through the things that Drago can't, I started to have much more success in testing and itterating. So basically TL;DR is if your feature mons ideal win condition pushes your team away from being a balence archetypes, don't try and resist that push, just go with the current.
Howdy!! The video was awesome, as an avid balance player, I loved getting a methodology to help guide my teambuilding and identify mistakes and holes that need to be patched!

Wow honestly, this was honestly one of the most helpful videos I've watched when it comes to team building. Ive always super enjoyed the team building process, but really struggled when it came to actually understanding how to make pokemon synergise well with each other, have purpose beyond covering type and stat holes. I end up really tunnel visioning on types defensively to the point idk why I'm using certain mons sometimes haha this video really helped me understand where I've been going wrong and what I need to also focus on, what's a little bit more important. Thank you again Pinkacross :) You may already have well enough submissions but I will throw my hat in the ring and see where we go from here.

I've always had trouble adapting my brain to Balance so this was a really nice vid.

@@TrulyAtrocious Kyurem often necessitates Glowking on balance, it's literally the only thing other than Blissey that can switch in more than once without fear of getting KOd.
Thank you pink bug, I used to flounder and have a very flimsy step, I had no spine, clumsy even somebody could say, but after watching this video I found my balance and now I walk with a pep in my step and from my showdown ELO account I found a fresh plus 200 ELO. Amazing video ‼️ unsubscribed ⭐
I wanna say thank you because ever since you first mentioned to build a progress making core before a defensive one in your video about common mistakes when building I've been doing so much better both on ladder and in tournaments, I've even matched into you a couple of times on ladder I believe we're 1-1, I thought I was doing well before but I would flop so many teams because of that mistake and it was frustrating. recently I've made this team with tealpon which peaked at 1945 and won me a couple of tournament games already, though I did tilt quite a bit on ladder after the peak so I wanted to see if there's still anything wrong you'd change or if it's just bad laddering habits Ogerpon (F) @ Heavy-Duty Boots Ability: Defiant Tera Type: Grass EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe Jolly Nature - Ivy Cudgel - Swords Dance - Encore - Low Kick Slowking-Galar @ Heavy-Duty Boots Ability: Regenerator Tera Type: Water EVs: 252 HP / 16 Def / 240 SpD Sassy Nature IVs: 0 Atk / 0 Spe - Future Sight - Chilly Reception - Ice Beam - Thunder Wave Great Tusk @ Heavy-Duty Boots Ability: Protosynthesis Tera Type: Steel EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe Jolly Nature - Headlong Rush - Ice Spinner - Knock Off - Rapid Spin Raging Bolt @ Choice Specs Ability: Protosynthesis Tera Type: Fairy EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe Modest Nature IVs: 20 Atk - Volt Switch - Thunderclap - Draco Meteor - Thunderbolt Alomomola @ Rocky Helmet Ability: Regenerator Tera Type: Fairy EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD Relaxed Nature IVs: 0 Spe - Chilling Water - Flip Turn - Wish - Protect Garganacl @ Leftovers Ability: Purifying Salt Tera Type: Fairy EVs: 252 HP / 52 Def / 204 SpD Careful Nature - Stealth Rock - Salt Cure - Recover - Protect The main idea is having probably the most reliable encore in the game thanks to a permanent free speed boost with tera on tealpon with mola glowking which struggles most with setup. The only 2 matchups I've struggled with are bulky tera fairy plot ghold and fast tera normal sd gliscor. I originally had kyurem over bolt but bolt gives me a little bit better of a matchup vs ghold and darkrai while relying less on tusk to spin rocks away and providing an offensive pivot and strong priority; the ghold matchup is still rough tho since with tera fairy tusk can't really revenge kill it reliably and it threatens pretty much the whole team, as for gliscor it's a very similar situation, tho ecore does help vs it but oger has to be played very precisely (that or I'm just bad at positioning). One option I considered for ghold is tera water over fairy on garg but I felt like the better pult, valiant, zamazenta, meowscarada and waterpon matchup was too valuable, especially as otherwise my only way to resist dragon is tera on offensive mons which can be unreliable
Hey pink! Love your content I posted a team already, but I actually think this team is cooler and would love your feedback on it!

@@Oneandonly-xg6iu it’s a joke team, I only added the Pokémon pinkacross wants banned (except glimmora) and webs because on stream pinkacross hates people mentioning webs.
I want to make a team around specs sylveon (yeah i know its outclassed by enamorous but it is still viable in theory). Lando t seems like a pretty decent breaking core right? its physical so it deals with special walls like blissey, the stab earthquakes deal with poison, fire and steel types that resist my hyper voice. thoughts?
I don't think you're grasping the concept of a breaking core, I'll try to explain. If your opponent couldn't switch, then yes, Landorus + Sylveon would be fantastic. Your opponent won't just let their Blissey and Glowking die to Earthquake. Ssuppose you have your Specs Sylveon in. Your opponent has a Glowking. You switch in Lando as they switch in Glowking. You got the play... but then your opponent switches in Corviknight. Individually, these pokemon can be walled, and they do nothing to wear down each other's checks. Either try to punish Glowking with something more difficult to swap into than Landorus, or add a pokemon that forces chip damage on Sylveon's checks.
@@pinkacross2042 ah I see (haven't teambuilt since gen 8 ou so I'm kinda rusty honestly), main problem is that I don't know ghe meta, any suggestions on the mon to pair with sylveon? I don't even know what half the gen 9 mons even do lol
Thanks for the helpful videos Pinkacross! Here is my team for a team rating submission. I got the highest I've been on the ladder with this team, but have had some trouble as of late. It struggles against Gliscor, Ogerpon Water, and stall. I think the team suffers with identity, I built it with Bulky Offense in mind, but I don't think Moltres-G really helps as much as I love it so.

Hi, i tried out the team and I just got cooked by a sun team with a proto speed specs walking wake just spaming hydro steams, any tip on these matchups? Really nice vid, btw 👌👌
Would u consider doing a stall-y or less offensive pokemon as your pokemon you build around in one of your next streams. (Not a gimmick build or anything just interested in that side of the process)
Here's a team for the team-fixing video that I had fun making and using because it's not completely helpless against any one threat: Covert torn balance by showdown user "purple pastels" (me): Hermes (Tornadus-Therian) @ Covert Cloak Ability: Regenerator Tera Type: Flying EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Spe Bold Nature - Taunt - Knock Off - U-turn - Air Slash mistletoe
Can you make a video on stall, either playing with a good stall or stall building because i feel like if you master stall you can play and have a good chance of winning against any team. Please
Where can I submit teams for you to look at again? I recently built my attempt at a balance team after watching this video and would like to know how it looks from a professional standpoint
Do think Dragonite could operate well on balance? I was building with it and thought it’s defensive value would operate well on certain tusk balance teams. Also-what tusk spread do you generally prefer on balance?
I never really build balance, mainly just bo. Today, I decided to go ahead and try to build a balance team (think it went pretty well), then a couple hours later, lo and behold, I look on youtube on this pops up.
you know what? i had this same question this morning thanks for reading my mind, next time i want teambuilding advice please I expect a very specific video explaining it to me :D
Pinkacross, how do you establish that one pokemon is viable, reliable and isn't a hit or miss? Like kingambit is obviously a reliable pokemon, but is meloetta? And would meloetta count as viable, as it has brought me some success (not a lot of outright kills but support for other breakers)
Depends on the set. Some sets of Kingambit aren't reliable, some are. HDB Dragapult is reliable, CB less so, Dragon Dance even less so. If you're not sure, just try using it and see how consistent it is in practice.
@@pinkacross2042 So zamazenta, would it count as a 'consistent' mon cause of the fact I can get wins with it, or an 'inconsistent' mon because my teams without proper zama support can end up 5mon teams?
At some point, probably! As for your second question, could you rephrase that? Not sure I understand. Sometimes it is worth leading with a non-hazard pokemon, other times it's best to set hazards up right away, really depends on team MU
@pinkacross2042 when I play a game, I always set up hazard(s) and then proceed the game plan. When i watch other players, they always choose "the best 'leads'" against the opponent because it give them more of then upside/advantage towards them. So I was just curious on what you prefer, leading off with hazards or "more optimal" leads that gives you more advantage? That's all
@@Bigchris314 Sometimes hazards are optimal to get up immediately, other times a non-hazard pokemon puts you in a more advantageous position and you can set hazards later. Certainly you shouldn't be auto-setting hazards at the start of the game, that's definitely not a good habit.
I love specs kyurem but man, I found u need double hazard control cause he takes so much damage from rocks. It would be awesome If u happen to make a specs kyurem vid 👍
I've only ever played in one draft (several years ago) but I have helped clients teambuild and prepare for draft recently with success. I may be able to help but I don't expect I'll do a draft team fixing video
I genuinely don't know how you build teams in Gen 9 without it being a full-time job. Your resources are spread so thin. If you're not losing to the assholes of the tier, you're getting cheesed to high hell.
Find the best partner for the pokemon you're building around Glowking Glowking Glowking Glowking Glowking Glowking Glowking Glowking Glowking Glowking Glowking
@@pinkacross2042 I realized that because people kept quitting against my regigigas galar weezing teams or steam rolling me LOL but I play it because I absolutely despise stall..
@@pinkacross2042 I see. I meant it’s „Role“ I connection with the team composition. Should I use it as pivot for other attackers? Does he go All-out? Is he any good on more offensive teams? Sorry for the inconvenience.
@@koizumi8226 I would say Zarude is best as a bulky balance-stalbreaker, but to be honest it's not particularly good even at that-- use Tera Ghost to bypass Corviknight, though.

Literally just saw the vid on this
balance is my favourite archetype along with BO, super informative video!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Another amazing video to add to the team building series.
I feel like one of the most important parts of this video that may not be as appreciated as it should be is what you were saying from 12:30 to 13:00. Where in the point you were getting at is an important thing to be black pilled on during the team building process; that being, there are some mons that you just can't build a traditionally good balence comp around.
This is especially true when your trying to build with unorthodox lower tier offense picks. For example I've been expirementing with using a scarf Regiedrago in OU cause I like when dragon energy goes brrr. But in order to get away with running a greedy pick like this it became evident that adding a defensive structure to the team that can cover all or even most of the threats in OU is impossible, especially since I'd basically be try to do this with only 5 mons. Wincon wise Drago has be on a team qhere ideally the games close to ending before full hazzards can be established by the opponent . So once i adopted that mindset and atartwd worrying more about how I can consistently break through the things that Drago can't, I started to have much more success in testing and itterating.
So basically TL;DR is if your feature mons ideal win condition pushes your team away from being a balence archetypes, don't try and resist that push, just go with the current.
Well-put! Glad you found value. :D
Howdy!! The video was awesome, as an avid balance player, I loved getting a methodology to help guide my teambuilding and identify mistakes and holes that need to be patched! Submitting my own team for the next rating video, here's a meowscarada/gholdengho/deoxys-s bootspam team ive been using on ladder! The team is designed to endlessly pressure the opponent through hazard chip and constant knock offs!

Wow honestly, this was honestly one of the most helpful videos I've watched when it comes to team building. Ive always super enjoyed the team building process, but really struggled when it came to actually understanding how to make pokemon synergise well with each other, have purpose beyond covering type and stat holes. I end up really tunnel visioning on types defensively to the point idk why I'm using certain mons sometimes haha this video really helped me understand where I've been going wrong and what I need to also focus on, what's a little bit more important. Thank you again Pinkacross :)
You may already have well enough submissions but I will throw my hat in the ring and see where we go from here. (Funnily enough it has one of the things you said absolutely not to do when buliding balance hehe)

Team has gone through many iterations but it still cannot plug all the holes, most notably it gets 6:0ed by RM. Please make my boi raptor work! Many thanks!
Thanks for the submission!
11:10 this is ssoo cute
13:20 I defacto- I decided to include glow king😂
I made pretty much the exact same team earlier, just a few differences in movesets. Makes me quite proud of my team building skills today lmao
Nice job! :D
Id love to see a jimothy cool, pinkacross and bkc crossover story lol
I did recently go on the Fridge with Jimothy Cool! I think that episode will be coming out in a few days.
I've always had trouble adapting my brain to Balance so this was a really nice vid. You can probably guess why I struggle with Balance when you see my team but this is the first team I've had reasonable success with on ladder but I'm still pretty low- about 1500 Elo. It's not a super interesting team so I don't blame you if you don't talk about it but I still wanted to share. xD

Looks like something having
@@Think_Luis temper flare g tusk takes care of air ballon gholdengo, skarm, and corv. After those r gone, gambit and enamours can clean up
TL;DR Put Slowking-G on your team.
While Slowking-G is very good on balance, I'd say only about half of balance teams need it.
@@pinkacross2042"only 50% usage rate"
And the other half have lando lmao
@@TrulyAtrocious Kyurem often necessitates Glowking on balance, it's literally the only thing other than Blissey that can switch in more than once without fear of getting KOd.
Thank you pink bug, I used to flounder and have a very flimsy step, I had no spine, clumsy even somebody could say, but after watching this video I found my balance and now I walk with a pep in my step and from my showdown ELO account I found a fresh plus 200 ELO. Amazing video ‼️ unsubscribed ⭐
That's fantastic!
He said unsubbed hes prob gonna get overwelmed by metapod
i made this weavile balance team a few days ago but with summer classes ive barely had any time to test it out - however, it was pretty fun attempting to build at an actual balance team as opposed to my usual hyper-offense! :D

I wanna say thank you because ever since you first mentioned to build a progress making core before a defensive one in your video about common mistakes when building I've been doing so much better both on ladder and in tournaments, I've even matched into you a couple of times on ladder I believe we're 1-1, I thought I was doing well before but I would flop so many teams because of that mistake and it was frustrating. recently I've made this team with tealpon which peaked at 1945 and won me a couple of tournament games already, though I did tilt quite a bit on ladder after the peak so I wanted to see if there's still anything wrong you'd change or if it's just bad laddering habits

The main idea is having probably the most reliable encore in the game thanks to a permanent free speed boost with tera on tealpon with mola glowking which struggles most with setup. The only 2 matchups I've struggled with are bulky tera fairy plot ghold and fast tera normal sd gliscor. I originally had kyurem over bolt but bolt gives me a little bit better of a matchup vs ghold and darkrai while relying less on tusk to spin rocks away and providing an offensive pivot and strong priority; the ghold matchup is still rough tho since with tera fairy tusk can't really revenge kill it reliably and it threatens pretty much the whole team, as for gliscor it's a very similar situation, tho ecore does help vs it but oger has to be played very precisely (that or I'm just bad at positioning). One option I considered for ghold is tera water over fairy on garg but I felt like the better pult, valiant, zamazenta, meowscarada and waterpon matchup was too valuable, especially as otherwise my only way to resist dragon is tera on offensive mons which can be unreliable
I'm so glad I was able to help! Thanks for the submission! :]

Yo, I tried this team on ladder, and added AV Samurrot Hisui and it shored up the ghost/steel/ice resist while still providing momentum and spikes
That sounds like a cool idea, I'll keep that in mind.

Looks very cool! Thanks for the submission!
I want to make a team around specs sylveon (yeah i know its outclassed by enamorous but it is still viable in theory). Lando t seems like a pretty decent breaking core right? its physical so it deals with special walls like blissey, the stab earthquakes deal with poison, fire and steel types that resist my hyper voice. thoughts?
I don't think you're grasping the concept of a breaking core, I'll try to explain. If your opponent couldn't switch, then yes, Landorus + Sylveon would be fantastic. Your opponent won't just let their Blissey and Glowking die to Earthquake. Ssuppose you have your Specs Sylveon in. Your opponent has a Glowking. You switch in Lando as they switch in Glowking. You got the play... but then your opponent switches in Corviknight. Individually, these pokemon can be walled, and they do nothing to wear down each other's checks. Either try to punish Glowking with something more difficult to swap into than Landorus, or add a pokemon that forces chip damage on Sylveon's checks.
@@pinkacross2042 ah I see (haven't teambuilt since gen 8 ou so I'm kinda rusty honestly), main problem is that I don't know ghe meta, any suggestions on the mon to pair with sylveon? I don't even know what half the gen 9 mons even do lol

Let me know if you'd like to collab sometime! :D
Thanks for the helpful videos Pinkacross! Here is my team for a team rating submission. I got the highest I've been on the ladder with this team, but have had some trouble as of late. It struggles against Gliscor, Ogerpon Water, and stall. I think the team suffers with identity, I built it with Bulky Offense in mind, but I don't think Moltres-G really helps as much as I love it so. Is there any saving this team, or is it back to the drawing board?

Do think Dragonite could operate well on balance? I was building with it and thought it’s defensive value would operate well on certain tusk balance teams. Also-what tusk spread do you generally prefer on balance?
It could work well on balance, but generally I'm not a big fan of it. Inconsistent and very vulnerable to Knock Off and Static, also a bit passive.
@@pinkacross2042 Yeah that’s fair, I was using it and noticed the same issues you’re presenting
I never really build balance, mainly just bo. Today, I decided to go ahead and try to build a balance team (think it went pretty well), then a couple hours later, lo and behold, I look on youtube on this pops up.
Nice! BO is pretty similar to balance as well
you know what? i had this same question this morning thanks for reading my mind, next time i want teambuilding advice please I expect a very specific video explaining it to me :D
Glad I could help at least this time lol
You are my fav showdown youtuber please help me build all types of teams and basics
I will be making more guides!
Great Video
Glad you enjoyed it! :D
Pinkacross, how do you establish that one pokemon is viable, reliable and isn't a hit or miss? Like kingambit is obviously a reliable pokemon, but is meloetta? And would meloetta count as viable, as it has brought me some success (not a lot of outright kills but support for other breakers)
Depends on the set. Some sets of Kingambit aren't reliable, some are. HDB Dragapult is reliable, CB less so, Dragon Dance even less so. If you're not sure, just try using it and see how consistent it is in practice.
@@pinkacross2042 So zamazenta, would it count as a 'consistent' mon cause of the fact I can get wins with it, or an 'inconsistent' mon because my teams without proper zama support can end up 5mon teams?
hi, fix my team pls, i dont really like the glimmora because die super fast and i have no more removals

I have a couple questions, would you do a facecam? Also, do you think leads are important compared to just laying hazards?
At some point, probably! As for your second question, could you rephrase that? Not sure I understand. Sometimes it is worth leading with a non-hazard pokemon, other times it's best to set hazards up right away, really depends on team MU
@pinkacross2042 when I play a game, I always set up hazard(s) and then proceed the game plan. When i watch other players, they always choose "the best 'leads'" against the opponent because it give them more of then upside/advantage towards them. So I was just curious on what you prefer, leading off with hazards or "more optimal" leads that gives you more advantage? That's all
@@Bigchris314 Sometimes hazards are optimal to get up immediately, other times a non-hazard pokemon puts you in a more advantageous position and you can set hazards later. Certainly you shouldn't be auto-setting hazards at the start of the game, that's definitely not a good habit.
Hey my man, in your opinion, is your team tier list still accurate? :)
I would say for the most part yes
I love specs kyurem but man, I found u need double hazard control cause he takes so much damage from rocks. It would be awesome If u happen to make a specs kyurem vid 👍
I think you can get by with just one form of hazard control if the team is fast paced enough-- I may do Kyurem at some point.
Hi Pinkacross! If I wanted to run a Pokemon with CM + Agility + Stored Power set, do you think Iron Crown is better or is Latias better?
Depends on the rest of the team, I'd say Latias though for that particular set.
What do you think of Bulky SD Blaziken on Balance? I was thinking pairing it up with Wellspring could be nice.
I think it has real potential.
Are you also open to criticise draft teams by any chance?
I've only ever played in one draft (several years ago) but I have helped clients teambuild and prepare for draft recently with success. I may be able to help but I don't expect I'll do a draft team fixing video
What are good teammates for great tusk and galarian slowking?
Pretty much anything, those are some of the highest usage pokemon in the tier.
For rating teams, do you cover past gens or only current?
Only current, at the moment.
@@pinkacross2042 ah damn, I’ve had a Gen 7 concept OU I wanted to run by you
I genuinely don't know how you build teams in Gen 9 without it being a full-time job. Your resources are spread so thin. If you're not losing to the assholes of the tier, you're getting cheesed to high hell.
It can be a struggle, but with practice it becomes eaiser!
Hey! I made this team after being inspired by a recent video. This is my attempt at boots spam and I would appreciate a review
Thanks for the submission!
When’s the next stream?
Friday at 8:00 PM EST.

Glowking is the best partner for a lot of bad pokemon, but a lot more common pokemon have stronger partners
im here because i kept tweaking playing gen 9 doubles
Doubles is hard
@@pinkacross2042 I realized that because people kept quitting against my regigigas galar weezing teams or steam rolling me LOL but I play it because I absolutely despise stall..
What role would you give zarude in Ou?
Not sure what you mean by role? I suppose my favorite set would be Life Orb Offensive, with BU Jungle Healing Knock Power Whip.
@@pinkacross2042 I see. I meant it’s „Role“ I connection with the team composition. Should I use it as pivot for other attackers? Does he go All-out? Is he any good on more offensive teams? Sorry for the inconvenience.
@@koizumi8226 I would say Zarude is best as a bulky balance-stalbreaker, but to be honest it's not particularly good even at that-- use Tera Ghost to bypass Corviknight, though.
@@pinkacross2042 Ty for explaining it to me :)
I subbed but the metapod r still here and calling me bad at ou ehat do i do?
What*
I'll send a backup team
