week 1 - OCTOBER 2024 - 35 Pokes

WEEK 1

35 WEEKLY

October 2024

Last month, 35 pokes players were surprised and grateful when the ​people at Dawn made a ladder on their showdown server for 35 ​Pokes. However, for this month, things somehow got even better, as ​we won the Natdex OMS vote, thus causing a 35 Pokes ladder to be ​implemented on the official showdown server. There is ELO, GXE, ​and it’s much more active than the discord ladder that was used ​previously. So if you want to play the meta, all you have to do is ​build a team and hop on!

Spotlight of the week

Pokemon: Amoonguss

Amoonguss is a very interesting Pokemon because on the surface, it has a wide ​variety of ways it can be run, but when you look, they all boil down to one thing. ​Leverage the fantastic utility of Regenerator and the comparably fantastic ​utility of Spore to provide an amazing defensive backbone for its team. But ​there are very many ways to go about this. You could go physdef for Bisharp, or ​Leaf Storm to OHKO Sandaconda, or Toxic to be useful after you’ve slept ​something, or even Nature Power to fish for para and have much more pp in ​the mirror matchup, and all of these will likely perform just as well. Amoonguss ​is truly an amazing defensive pokemon, capable of being slapped on just ​about any team (except HO).

Featured Matches

of the week:

With the respectable power of Shell Smash Blastoise this month, many ​random pokemon have started teching on Mirror Herb to copy its boosts and ​sweep for themselves. Samurott is very useful for this, because unlike ​blastoise, it has Grass Knot and Vaccuum Wave, which gives another ​dimension to its sweeps

You know what learns Psychic? Zoroark. You know what else learns it? ​Snorlax. This set was apparently designed to bluff which mon it was, and ​rest snore is just straight up memes. However, they are not the only one who ​cooked, as the person who submitted pulled up with a hilarious Whirlpool ​Toxic stalling Rhydon
