Idea for a stream: trying to win with every playstyle. So let's stay you start with an HO team and play until you win, then swap to an offense team and play until you win, and keep going down the spectrum until you win with stall
That wouldn't be too hard to do, idea noted. :]
Took bro an hour of building to realize toxictricity is booty
True, it sucks-- gotta try though, sometimes mons surprise you!
serious ideas for 10k:
(plz never give wendy mod if u do im hacking ur account and find where you live)
-bedroom tour
-gym stuff idk what but something to do with the gym
-QNA
-day in the life of pinkacross
and ill give some more unhinged ones for the memes
-dox yourself
-reveal where you go to school
-thirst traps
-cancelling famous poketubers
-prank calling the IRS…
Noted, thanks for the ideas!
I think one of the things I said during the stream chat, was that I think Tox wants pivots that attract the mons it feasts on. Mons like Clefable, Corviknight, Alomamola, Toxapex and the demon that I am, I'd pivot this into Zamazenta if I sense it clicking Sub, and similar to Serp for similar reasons.
I enjoy the fact that Boomburst just blows through the grounds in the tier.
One mon I like as a potential partner, is either band or Scarf Moon, as it attracts most of the listed mons. Not only that, but with either of these items, it just clicks Knock / U-Turn, with the other two moves it runs, can be chosen based on what you need to hit the most.
Hamurott is another option I like as well, which I think is a similar case to Moon. It clicks vs the mons that'll pivot in, and it attracts the mons you want Tox to feast on, and it spikes with attacks (Just don't miss.). Like Moon, other than Flip Turn, you pick your poison.
Another interesting time to bring Tox in, is vs Gholdengo, which was my reason for enjoying the idea of Corviknight as a potential partner, since not only does it attract Ghold, but also many of the above listed targets. Defogging, and Body Press for the Gambits and what not. Ghold and Val have to prove they have the coverage to beat you, and you take advantage of the mons that are forced in, or you trade favorably.
You make good points, but in practice I think they will all fall flat as Toxtricity is just awful. All of the pokemon you listed, RM, Hrott, don't have a lot of defensive utility. I can't see a team involving those two turning out to be good. I think it would be impossible to defensively support. It's a good core in theory, but in practice, I don't have hope.
defensive serperior with para support could go pretty hard with toxtricity.
I don't think anything goes hard with Toxtricity... Defensive serp is fun tho, yea
Yeah, i tried it and it's just... the shell of the team around it is amazing. But toxtricity will just let you down every game.

I don't think Dachsbun is worth using, but thanks for the submission! And yes, likely I'll have a Quaquaval stream at some point. :]
3:53 it felt like pinkacross was about to snap here lol, u put up with us too much man
No, I wasn't actually angry, just figured I'd give a more complete explanation in the hopes that it would stop future sticky web recommendations (it won't lol)
@@pinkacross2042 ahh I see, great stream anyways. Sad I couldn’t make it.
bold move trying to make toxtricity work in a tier dominated by bulky ground types
Yea... mistakes were made
Would love to see an okidogi vid
Perhaps soon!
What is your opinion of meme teams?
They're not good at a high level, but they can be fun
27:57 You can't disrespect Infernape like that D:
Maybe try Noivern for mext stream. Since it can also tera normal boomburst and with specs it hits really hard, it has a bit less power but is much faster, can also pivot better. Also it's my favorite mon so i would be overjoyed to se what you would cook.
Also idk if you are still accepting temas for review, but here's my team which got me to 1784 before dlc and raging bolt hit, now I can't hit 1600 xD

Thanks for the submission! I'll consider Noivern, if only it was a few points faster I'd be a lot more keen on running it, but getting outsped by Weavile, Darkrai, and tying Meow is... rough. All those Ice Moves are going to hurt.
Cool content, man! Keep it up!
Thanks! :D
Would you consider building around tinkaton? It has great support especiallly being able to use mold breaker to do things such as twaving Ghold and bypassing hatt's magic bounce
Yes, Tinkaton is certainly viable, I'll probably build it at some point
It may be a pain in the ass to build a team around, but do you think you could you run a chlorophyll Venusaur someday? I'd much appreciate it!
Chlorophyll Venu is certainly viable, I'll probably build it sometime!
Loved the stream! It’s sad how toxt turned out for sure. Would you ever build a team around ursalana or ceruledge?
Yes, both are certainly possibilities!
"i'm male and straight" a likely story, we know you dont have an egg group
@@srovypupper5600 LOL
9:53 haven't seen the entire vid but you forgot clod
12:58 nvm that Dmg calc says otherwise
Wait how does serp stop court change ???
It discourages it, because it gets a speed boost from webs due to contrary if Cinderace court changes the webs
