[normal cave]

Fr

Wish we had the fixed fossils

[fading stratus]

holy I threw that game

I had a insanely safe play

I still won so its fine

252+ Atk Life Orb Orichalcum Pulse Koraidon Close Combat vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Tera-Fire Calyrex-Ice Rider: 142-168 (68.5 - 81.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

DOESNT EVEN KILL

[normal cave]

The goal is for Zane to figure out how to win tho

[fading stratus]

yeah so amogus korai doesnt win is the idea

[pseudo goblet]

I failed in that department

[normal cave]

But yeah this MU seems awesome

[fading stratus]

awesome for caly

yeah it might be your worst MU with the team

[pseudo goblet]

I have to hope people here being broke to buy SwSh dlc

[fading stratus]

incin amoongus lead is probs your best idea

against this team

and even then its so hard

[pseudo goblet]

I should use this team

[fading stratus]

you can yeah

[pseudo goblet]

Jokes aside, whats the counter to this team??

[fading stratus]

if you can catch caly ice by today we can make you a caly team

[pseudo goblet]

Caly I mean

[fading stratus]

uhh

amoongus makes this MU atleast bearable

but its hard

[pseudo goblet]

Also nah, no time

I didnt finish Crown Tundra

Also too lazy

Lol

[fading stratus]

if you can get shadow or ice we can submit the team and then make you familiar with it

because both are solved

the solution to this duo is taunt btw

well this team

[pseudo goblet]

Wait how

[fading stratus]

tldr lead amoongus and taunt

taut thier caly ice

amoongus spore

or taunt smeargke

amoongus spore caly

[pseudo goblet]

I already forgot whats Caly 4th move lol

[fading stratus]

close combat

[pseudo goblet]

Glace protect and?

[fading stratus]

close combat TR

[pseudo goblet]

Ah

[fading stratus]

against practice I didnt click TR as often

but irl you'll fake a lot of TR

against tr your best bet is amogus

and incin

I can probs play one last time in like 2 hrs

if youre awake

[pseudo goblet]

Kinda Unlikely

My body kinda just shutdown around that time unless Im busy

[fading stratus]

its fine

bruial will help

maaybe 1 hour 30

zane

[pseudo goblet]

Its okay dwai

[normal cave]

We can taunt on ogre

Ogre also threatens both Smeargle and Caly

And we can Tera Grass Tera Blast Raging Bolt to cover for spore and keep grass coverage without giving up AV

But that means we need to give up Electroweb

Which... might be a good thing since Zane kinda defaults too much to it.

[fading stratus]

thats awful

because your problem isnt spore

[pseudo goblet]

I blame my indecisiveness lol

[fading stratus]

its glacial lance

[pseudo goblet]

Why is the move Spread

[fading stratus]

you should get caly tbh

its spread move turbo

perfect for your playstyle

[pseudo goblet]

Grew to like this team tho lol

Not having to worry and just mindless spread seems fine Ill admit

[pseudo goblet]

What would the team be anyway???

[fading stratus]

dondozo

[pseudo goblet]

Am I wrong to immediately think said team would be hard to pilot?

[fading stratus]

no that's probs the easier build

or sth like this

dondozo would be like this

[pseudo goblet]

Wait I thought this is about ice rider

[fading stratus]

ice rider would either be what I played

or sth like this

[pseudo goblet]

Landorus, hmm

Not sure which option is fastest for me to get it

Two I can think of sacrifices shiny hunt chances

Btw Bolt, Whats the reason Dark Shifu for your team eariler??

[fading stratus]

cant play water shifu

because torkoal

also banded dark shifu does insane damage

[pseudo goblet]

Mmm

https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/battle-gen9bssregg-2338984292

[fading stratus]

play reg g bo3

not bss

vgc

[pseudo goblet]

oh wait shit lol

no wonder

Ah fuck it first time for everytime right

holy shit I actually won

what the heck

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9bssregg-2338984292

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2025regg-2338989079

Subs Raging Bolt????

[fading stratus]

its not common no

neither is calm mind bolt

hej you played decently

you're improving

[pseudo goblet]

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2025regg-2339004605

wait till you watch this one lmao

@normal cave

[fading stratus]

why are you even afraid of using spore

idgi

[pseudo goblet]

they didnt do sheet

[fading stratus]

then you blind spore

its fine

[pseudo goblet]

I mean hey, did 2/3 hp to Rillaboom lmao

[fading stratus]

also idk why you're always clicking breaking swipe

[pseudo goblet]

down atk and dmg

[fading stratus]

that tera flutter was also so pointless

DOWN ATK OF WHAT

THE 2 MONS THAT DONT RUN A PHYSICAL ATK?????????

[pseudo goblet]

do Dusclop not run Shadow punch?

[fading stratus]

NO

even if does

dusclops has like 40 atk

or sth

[mighty storm]

70 atk

[fading stratus]

70 isnt good either

its same as being 40

[mighty storm]

true

[fading stratus]

you dont run a physical atk

even if you do its like shadow sneak or sth

[pseudo goblet]

fr my world feels shattered seeing Dusclop prob punch as hard as I do

[fading stratus]

zane dusclops is like one of my fav TR setters

[pseudo goblet]

also that tera flutter was to avoid night shade

[fading stratus]

night shade does 50 damage

[pseudo goblet]

which in retrospect, why tf they using it

[fading stratus]

flutter has more than 100 hp

that team looks like their ingame team

or sth

[pseudo goblet]

why they boxed their starter

[fading stratus]

also play bo3 in bo3 team sheets are automatically public

[pseudo goblet]

oh really

[fading stratus]

if your 3 choices are quaxly fuecoco and sprigatito I'd box em too

[pseudo goblet]

well its about time I feeling dragged to dream so didnt wanna play too long

[fading stratus]

if you wait like 20 mins I can play

[fading stratus]

or wake up early for yozz

[normal cave]

What the fuck were your plays man

[fading stratus]

bruial you missed me screaming just above

[pseudo goblet]

[normal cave]

They had 1 turn of TR

You had the safest double protect ever

[fading stratus]

not protecting on last turn of TR was like last of his worries that's like the best move he made

[mighty storm]

https://tenor.com/view/sprigatito-floragato-meowscarada-pokemon-pokemon-scarlet-and-violet-gif-1521429900501458703

[normal cave]

Not protecting at all

[pseudo goblet]

which turn

[mighty storm]

jolt funko pop

[pseudo goblet]

wait Im dumb one sec

[fading stratus]

the turn when they switched in the fish

whatever its name is

bruial are you free

back when I ran dusclops I ran it with bloodmoon

it was a funny team

[pseudo goblet]

so am I like, made dumb moves but I was mega lucky or what

[fading stratus]

this was like a really funny dusclops set

with this

[pseudo goblet]

BB for Reflect and Light Screen?

[fading stratus]

[pseudo goblet]

Oh I see Weakness Policy

[normal cave]

No

[pseudo goblet]

its okay dwai

[normal cave]

Still out of town

[fading stratus]

go to bed wake up early for yozz

[pseudo goblet]

2 days left, will everything play out well

[fading stratus]

he said he could play (his) tonight

[pseudo goblet]

unlikely, I go out 8 am, Usually wake up 7

kinda knew training montage with Yozzoy prob happen mostly on weekend

timezone is a horrible concept

[normal cave]

Zane when are you going to bed

I should be home in like an hour or two

[pseudo goblet]

oddly feeling fine rn but not sure for 1 or 2 hour later Zane lol

[normal cave]

Mmmm

[pseudo goblet]

its okay man dwai

[normal cave]

I also need to get up at 5:30 am tomorrow

[pseudo goblet]

[normal cave]

Just ask the nodl directly

Don't try to sneak cook

[normal cave]

Yeah go to slebp

[fading stratus]

it literally asked

[pseudo goblet]

dwai lmao

[normal cave]

Not to cook, it was asked to lie down and ignite its back for an unspecified reason

[pseudo goblet]

lost a bo3 so bad just now I wont even show it lol

also apparently my body is f-ing with me not doing its usual thing

[normal cave]

Go to SLEEP

[pseudo goblet]

probably best I stop practicing, seems like Im doing bad decisions

[normal cave]

Gooooooosleeeeeeeeeep

[pseudo goblet]

if bolt being raging seeing how I played earlier isn't clear enough

[pseudo goblet]

Soon

[fading stratus]

that is why its called raging bolt

[pseudo goblet]

at this rate I just might be able to stay around for practice...

I just dont feel sleepy enough to make me go to bed

[normal cave]

No

Go sleep

Now

[pseudo goblet]

lol

I yawned like 4 times if that helps my case

[mighty storm]

another one

[fading stratus]

yeah bruial doesnt wanna play against you zane

go to bed

[normal cave]

I just got home and I feel like shit

[fading stratus]

you go to bed too

[normal cave]

I'd LOVE to, but I'm not in a condition to do so

[normal cave]

I am on my way to bed

[pseudo goblet]

Me neither probably

[pseudo goblet]

||my body is fucking with me… help||

[normal cave]

What's wrong?

[young river]

Finally pulled a Giratina EX, been looking for one

[frosty ledge]

now how many darkrai do you have

[mighty storm]

https://external-preview.redd.it/GmFy8_8sm6y1U7cwnBfqMOhvpLZITIciRiYlUMeHk2w.jpg?auto=webp&s=5c4bf89e71dd2f65d3f0b32e2cdcccddff8aaf23

Regular art is the right most panel

[young river]

yes I had to get the Premium Pass for one of em

[pseudo goblet]

Im okay dw

I just need coffee

[viral ingot]

I'm still trying to pull my 2nd Giratina EX. 😭

All my Wonder Picks, even with the Sneak peek feature, netted me nothing out of it.

I did get another Wigglytuff full art though. 😏

[frosty ledge]

you already used the starter deck token?

[spice rivet]

Lmk when youre ready so we can run some games!

[viral ingot]

I'm hoping to save it by the expiration date because I don't want to end up wasting it.

[frosty ledge]

I imagine having a spare giratina is fine

[pseudo goblet]

This weekend likely, Sorry man

[frosty ledge]

either giratina is still good next meta and you're glad to have extras for trading or the meta rotates and your token wouldn't be useful at the end anyways

[spice rivet]

No worries!

[viral ingot]

True. It was either Giratina or Beedrill EX I'd be using the token for.

[pseudo goblet]

Wait Yozzoy would you be okay if we do maybe one in 12 am for you

Phones can run Showdown just fine right

[polar osprey]

next meta is in 2 weeks btw

a3 is scheduled for April 20th

[frosty ledge]

even more reason to cash it in rn tbh

[polar osprey]

less than 2 weeks

they shortened the distance between packs to 1 month each since the last cycle

[spice rivet]

Unfortunately I work tomorrow so I cant stay up that late tn 😭

[pseudo goblet]

No worries

If only Im not being watched and no tasks, or I can do some tests while ‘working’

[pseudo goblet]

Btw Yozzoy do think we should do Ice rider center team

Bolt said it fits my style and I kinda agree lol

Uh, Calyrex mostly

[spice rivet]

For this tournament, or for next format for you?

[pseudo goblet]

This one for that matter

Tho yeah, I could move it to next tournament

[spice rivet]

Ah, ya I think that if you feel more comfortable with ut and feel its a good fit we can for sure do it

[pseudo goblet]

Since we already made the sun team and I had practice with it already

also I still need to finish Crown Tundra

mmmmm fine Ig I could try get Calyrex quickly tonight

@fading stratus are there other mon I need?

[spice rivet]

Done done and done 😎

[pseudo goblet]

Hows the living dex lol

National one

[spice rivet]

Thats been done for a while tbh. Only thing I need are a few mons with me as the Original Trainer

[spice rivet]

To put it in perspective

[fading stratus]

get both honses and urshifu

preferably get both shifu

torkoal and ursaluna (regular)

[pseudo goblet]

As for the event team?

Current team or we feeling changing

[fading stratus]

we'll decide tonight if we wanna change or not

[pseudo goblet]

https://youtu.be/RojDzoeq_A8?si=5J2OBIVK0EAUq2aJ

[sterile verge]

Zane did you sign up

[pseudo goblet]

Last time I play my progress were around 34 min mark, the capture of target was 1:16:11

[pseudo goblet]

Nope

[fading stratus]

sign up is 13th

so we have some time

well upto 13th

[pseudo goblet]

Best I do it before 12th

[fading stratus]

we'll do on the 12th night

[pseudo goblet]

Both games DLCs really offers to help you get both forms of these iirc lol

[fading stratus]

you get 1 kubfu and both scrolls iirc so you need to play twice

[pseudo goblet]

Now I think I chose Dark in Sword, I should be able to do Water in Scarlet

Idr which horse I picked, but with Sword and Scarlet I should be able to get both

[fading stratus]

aight

[pseudo goblet]

@spice rivet am I correct on this?

[spice rivet]

You can get both Scrolls and both sets of Reigns in both Scarlet and Violet

[pseudo goblet]

Oh yeah true

[pseudo goblet]

Bolt do any of them require iv 0,

[fading stratus]

dark shifu might need 0 speed IV yeah

[sterile verge]

My (tied 2nd) favourite starter

[fading stratus]

its my fav starter to box

[sterile verge]

Wtf

[fading stratus]

I dont like the final evo of all 3 of the gen 9 starters

they all look weird

my fav one among the 3 is probs second evo of gator

[sterile verge]

Skeledirge slander wtf

[pseudo goblet]

Thoughts on what team is best we use?

[fading stratus]

wwe'll stick on the korai team for now

I'll discuss with bruial later if we wanna change

[pseudo goblet]

Im getting the feeling calyrex and Shifu are commonly together

Ig today will be some practice + attempt shiny hunt Torkoal on the side lol

Unless otherwise

[pseudo goblet]

I’ll be lying If I say part of me isn’t happy to keep this lol

Even if I lose to a Ice rider team in event like yesterday

[fading stratus]

if you wanna play korai then go for it

I'm just weirded by you always clicking spread moves

[pseudo goblet]

You know how annoying my indecisiveness is

[pseudo goblet]

This too

[fading stratus]

okay finalised we'll stick with korai

[pseudo goblet]

But training myself NOT to always oh-shit button with spread me yes?

[pseudo goblet]

Roy what happened to you, you went from being gremlin to taking of care of the new gremlin

[fading stratus]

I wonder if fridge will ever come back alive

[sterile verge]

He's tired of people's shit

[normal cave]

Good

[pseudo goblet]

And~ there goes the spoiler, and me acting I dont know what happened

[fading stratus]

zane

that shiny amoongus has 0 speed IV right?

[pseudo goblet]

Korean one yes

[fading stratus]

we'll go with it

[normal cave]

Are we still on electroweb?

[fading stratus]

alternative is volt switch

or tera fairy tera blast

is tera electric being too useful rn

is the bigger question

we'll finalize the team today or tomorrow

[normal cave]

I think it's fine to have a "shit I'm stressed I need a comfort click" button, but we need to get Zane used to clicking Thunderbolt more. He either goes Draco or Eweb.

[fading stratus]

registration on 12th

[pseudo goblet]

Imo not too many times I needed extra power

[normal cave]

No

[pseudo goblet]

With electric

[normal cave]

He teras into electric often and it does not seem to be amazing

[fading stratus]

alternatively

[pseudo goblet]

Exactly

[fading stratus]

do we wanna go snarl

[normal cave]

How do we tech for Ice Rider?

Because that matchup seems ass

[fading stratus]

just hope you dont face

[pseudo goblet]

Bolt: no spread
Also Bolt: new spread

[pseudo goblet]

Yeah

[fading stratus]

idt we can fix the matchup when the registration is close

and he needs testing vs other matchups too

[pseudo goblet]

We could do more practice against ice rider

I just have to outplay my opponent

[fading stratus]

yeah that's the idea

[normal cave]

We just hope my ladder opponents are the ice rider players

[fading stratus]

do we go for tera fairy tera blast is the question now

or volt

with tera fairy

[pseudo goblet]

Safe switch or different type covers, and without -2 sp atk

[fading stratus]

tera fairy is basically mostly for dragons

but draco does cover that

ig tera fairy blast helps vs fighting/dark types too

bruial

[pseudo goblet]

My mind sometimes wanna switch out Bolt to recover the sp atk debuff

[fading stratus]

zane isnt using ogrepon as much as I'd like

do we wanna switch it for sth like monke

[pseudo goblet]

Yay more bling

Hmm

[fading stratus]

probs not

ogre has a super effective move vs ice rider

[pseudo goblet]

I never used Follow me now that I notice

Ever

[fading stratus]

you should

its basically better rage powder

[pseudo goblet]

Against Mushroom yes

?

[fading stratus]

against anything

it has sturdy so it lives 2 hits

by follow meing

[pseudo goblet]

Can I get an example

[fading stratus]

follow me is useful against anything

and rock type coverage is good

you can just follow me with ogre then close combat with korai

for example

[pseudo goblet]

Ic, Making sure Koraidon stays

[fading stratus]

redirects fairy type moves/ice type moves from korai

you can follow me and draco with bolt too

makes sure any of your attackers stay

like flutter/bolt/korai

[pseudo goblet]

Should we consider icy wind change

[fading stratus]

no

[pseudo goblet]

Aight

[fading stratus]

if you dont run icy wind might as well not run flutter

there's no point

[pseudo goblet]

Remind myself to write this into note

[normal cave]

Yuh

[normal cave]

No Ogre is bronken

[pseudo goblet]

is it? Lol

[normal cave]

Cudgel is always SE vs Ice Rider, tera or not

[pseudo goblet]

I kid, Im just bad at it

[normal cave]

Ogre is easy

You just need to use it

Sturdy makes it a VERY safe mon

[fading stratus]

the 6 mons really did fit perfectly when I was designing the team

in my mind

[normal cave]

Ogre is probably how we beat ice rider honestly

Cudgel messes Honse up

[pseudo goblet]

Ig I should welcome the idea of use it as a meat shield switch in

[fading stratus]

yeah but ogre doesnt beat smeargle + caly lead either

[normal cave]

Not alone

[fading stratus]

not with anything

[normal cave]

Honestly, if we have taunt on it, it threatens to disable Smeargle

[fading stratus]

then you wont have grass type move

[pseudo goblet]

Kyogre runs wild

[normal cave]

Kinda wish we had covert cloak on something

[fading stratus]

there's no space

exvcept amoongus but rocky helmet is very good

[normal cave]

Bolt beats Kyogre up

[pseudo goblet]

Tera

[fading stratus]

you cant really beat both kyogre and shifu alone with bolt

[pseudo goblet]

Ig theres Korai

[normal cave]

Hmmm

[fading stratus]

also you need grass because half the mons on the format run tera water

[normal cave]

Honestly Umbreon has been how I beat both honses

[fading stratus]

goodluck killing tera water hands

[pseudo goblet]

Support moves?

[fading stratus]

playing umbreon just makes other matchups worse

[normal cave]

Taunt, foul play, moonlight, and uhhh idr

[normal cave]

Yeah

[fading stratus]

you just lose to banded shifu now

it clicks clicks clicks

[pseudo goblet]

Ahhh no Calm mind

[normal cave]

No

And yeah Bolt is right

[pseudo goblet]

No I mean Calm Mind denial

Taunt

[normal cave]

Oh

[fading stratus]

you also need grass type move to like

beat dozo

[pseudo goblet]

What are moves Dozo uses?

[fading stratus]

like earthquake

wave crash

order up

heavy slam

[pseudo goblet]

Surely its not same moves same moves amount like Amoonguss with like 6 move

[fading stratus]

body press

[pseudo goblet]

Body press

[fading stratus]

also bruial you NEED grass type moves to beat ting lu dozo

[pseudo goblet]

Def Tatsugiri buff right

[fading stratus]

yeah

you run resttalk in some

protect

fissure maybe without tatsu

yawn

ice fang sometimes

substitute sometimes

curse sometimes

[pseudo goblet]

Ice Fang??

[fading stratus]

tera blast sometimes

[pseudo goblet]

https://tenor.com/view/dondozo-goodbye-chat-gif-14368916044478970077

What fang???

[fading stratus]

tldr earthquake beats non flying types

ice fang beats flying types

https://pokepast.es/5d85581db5b52ae8

this team for example runs those

dondozo is like a very customisable mon

you just run what your team wants

[normal cave]

Damn, this team kinda hot owo

[pseudo goblet]

Ids any fire type tho

[fading stratus]

there's also technically a koraidon dozo team

but I avoided it intentionally

because I thought zane would tunnelvision into dozo turbo

https://pokepast.es/d1803b1366e904e1

something like this

[pseudo goblet]

People should expect me to fuck things up lol

[normal cave]

I mean, now he's tunneling into amogus/incin into electroweb spam

[fading stratus]

yeah

[normal cave]

Dozogiri can carry bad players

[fading stratus]

do we wanna try dozogiri

there's still technically time to test

[normal cave]

Idk

I need to run now

[fading stratus]

adios

[pseudo goblet]

Im gonna be talked into keep on practicing even after the event arent I

[fading stratus]

probs not

[pseudo goblet]

Oh, whys that

[fading stratus]

next event is like end of this year

so like there's plenty of time

[pseudo goblet]

Enough cooldown to relief Bolt’s stress after this whole thing

[spice rivet]

Also, caught this today lol

[fading stratus]

Havalugg sucks but it looks psick

[pseudo goblet]

Heck yeah

[pseudo goblet]

Thats whats Ive been saying

[fading stratus]

you havent been saying

[pseudo goblet]

I just dont get to express it as much as I’d like

Literally one of my earlier PLA shiny too

The orange shovel should’ve been the default

[young river]

Bruh

[fading stratus]

the god

[young river]

It's a wonder pick

and that was with the sneak peek

[pseudo goblet]

English, pick one card out of five and its yours

Sneak peek lets you peek one card making it 1/4

[normal cave]

Wonder Scam moment

[pseudo goblet]

Im ready if you are

[normal cave]

At this point idfk what my plans are

My family are extremely spontaneous people. I am NOT.

[pseudo goblet]

Guess Ill compromise with randos for now, Dw Bruial lol

[normal cave]

Use best of 3

[pseudo goblet]

Yup

[normal cave]

Also try to track how often you rely on spread moves

[fading stratus]

uhh lemme get you the tool actually

gimme a min

[normal cave]

And change electroweb to tera blast, and bolt's tera type to fairy

[fading stratus]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19FWiZwmveAYZTV5R2gVC4x9tIjETsIt3hYFkQDQX9Zk/copy?usp=sharing

copy this

put in your team

and put in showdown replays

[normal cave]

Honestly might actually be heading home rn

Idfk man

[fading stratus]

tera fairy volt switch is probs fine

idk how often you'd wanna click tera blast

keep track of that too

[normal cave]

But if I'm going home I might be available

[fading stratus]

WE NEED TEAM FINALISED BY SATURDAY

[normal cave]

Ngl volt switch is based

Fuck fairy coverage, we want that M O M E N T U M

[pseudo goblet]

Mb what am doing with this? Up against a shadow rider rn

[fading stratus]

its basically a tracker

what pros use to prep for tours

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1CgGA-iSV_fOv1xiD9ePFeRVHxFVCs6gRPsAbH0SqXn4/edit?gid=1537427292#gid=1537427292

also here this will be very useful

look at reg G speed tiers

[pseudo goblet]

Forgot Flutter outsped Shadow Rider in sun

[fading stratus]

bro......

some shadow riders do run covert cloak for flutter

[normal cave]

THAT'S WHAT IT'S THERE FOR

[fading stratus]

but sash/LO is more common

[pseudo goblet]

Yall gonna have another field day after Im done

[normal cave]

AV bolt is a massive pile of stats

I like that

Esp in the sun

[fading stratus]

the joke was Raging Bolt

[normal cave]

Ah

[pseudo goblet]

Hey first round win, thats good right

[fading stratus]

MY GUY FORFEIT LMAO

[fading stratus]

believe me or not

[pseudo goblet]

after Korai Mane do their thing again to Caly

[fading stratus]

unironically that tera fairy was optimal

tera normal

[pseudo goblet]

Thats where I forgot Mane outsped and fear Astral

I mean hey I dont get to tera Mane often, might as well

[fading stratus]

the play shoulda been icy wind into flare blitz into caly tho yeah

this is so funny

[pseudo goblet]

I just dont check rocky helmet and Life orb with Koraidon man, I just wanna nuke lol

[normal cave]

You played this one really well

Protecting Korai vs Ursh was a mistake I think, but you were so far ahead that didn't matter

[pseudo goblet]

unnecessary tera mane lmfao

[normal cave]

No that was fine

Makes Flutter immune to Barrage

[pseudo goblet]

Aww man you re right

[normal cave]

Removed all pressure from Flutter, so you didn't even NEED to shadow ball

Shadow Ball was a gamble on their tera, but tera normal made it a lot safer

[pseudo goblet]

I did not notice

[fading stratus]

the play was icy wind flare blitz

which you should always do

they should always protect in that scenario or tera

or switch

and icy wind blitz covers both switch and tera

[normal cave]

That was the safest play true

[fading stratus]

another play was tera normal shadow ball close combat incin

[pseudo goblet]

gotta agree

[normal cave]

But your gamble paid off to the point where you could not lose from there

[pseudo goblet]

I was just lucky

[fading stratus]

its fine

luck is a part of the game

[normal cave]

The takeaway from this game is

1. flutter outspeeds Fraud Honse and threatens it with a KO, putting the pressure on your opponent and giving you breathing room to make safer and comfier plays

[pseudo goblet]

Oh right I didnt post round 2, here

[normal cave]

2. don't waste turns protecting when Ursh is the only mon that can threaten you

[normal cave]

FELL FOR IT AGAIN AWARD

[pseudo goblet]

their partner was inci btw lol

[fading stratus]

protecting infront of ursh isnt always bad per se if their partner threatens you too

[pseudo goblet]

Oh it says it

[normal cave]

How the fuck did they let Honse die twice to shadow ball

[normal cave]

IF their partner does so, but in that case it did not

[fading stratus]

no I'm just telling him

[normal cave]

Ah ok

Okay going on a roadtrip tomorrow instead of today

[fading stratus]

go beat 'im

[normal cave]

So I'm available for training after lunch

[pseudo goblet]

CLEAR AMULET SHADOW RIDER

WHAT IS BLUD DOING

[fading stratus]

its not awful

we've seen clear amulet on special attackers

[pseudo goblet]

Thanks for heads up

[fading stratus]

parting shot/snarl are that threatening sometimes

[normal cave]

Hmm, tight spot for zane

[pseudo goblet]

Somehow their mane is faster than mine too

When same effects

[normal cave]

Not exactly

Could be a speed tie

[fading stratus]

its either speed tie or both are same speed

because your mane is fastest possible speed

[pseudo goblet]

Fuck it

[normal cave]

So guaranteed a speed tie, you just got unlucky

[pseudo goblet]

Expanding force????

[fading stratus]

they have indeedee

its for indeedee team

[pseudo goblet]

oh right

[normal cave]

I think that's game?

[pseudo goblet]

Okay that hits hard to those two, wish I can remember

[normal cave]

That's the whole point of honse yes, and why you jave tera normal

For this MU

[pseudo goblet]

Okay Inci takes that well

[normal cave]

Yes

It is built to tank astrals

[fading stratus]

incin is a good mon who coulda known

[normal cave]

Incin can do anything

[pseudo goblet]

Wish they dont tera grass here…

Actually no

Too obvious

[fading stratus]

zane incin is literally on 40% of the teams rn when everything is carrying clear amulet and the mon on 60% of teams beat you

thats how you know the mon is good

[normal cave]

Incin makes fraud honse sad

[pseudo goblet]

Might blew this one

[normal cave]

Did you practive vs shadow rider?

[fading stratus]

yes

against balance

[normal cave]

Ah

[fading stratus]

and lunala psyspam should be somewhat similar to shadow rider psyspam

[pseudo goblet]

Need amoong heal

Oh cool, Knock off ohko shadow rider

[fading stratus]

yes

thats what that 12 atk investment is for

or was it 4 atk

[normal cave]

FRAUD ALLEGATIONS NOT BEATEN

[fading stratus]

so you mean bruial

korai is fraud bike

[normal cave]

Nah Korai has results

[pseudo goblet]

Game 2 set

[normal cave]

Korai is Worse Bike

But it is not a fraud

[fading stratus]

shadow rider probably has more wins than korai

regardless

[normal cave]

Honse keeps getting hyped up and then flopping

[fading stratus]

and like 20 times as more tops

[normal cave]

Oh

Then maybe Korai is Fraud Bike

It does die to a whims moonblast

[outer eagle]

what about cyclizar

[fading stratus]

fun fact
last year's malaysia nats was also won by shadow rider

[normal cave]

Smeargle plus whims

[pseudo goblet]

[normal cave]

Yeah ngl shao was kinda shit into Zane's team

[pseudo goblet]

I used Parting shot on clear amulet…

[normal cave]

Fell for it again award

[fading stratus]

it was good but you just refused to close combat the incin

[normal cave]

Note to yourself

-1 close combat deletes Incin

With Life Orb

[fading stratus]

is it about korai or shao

because shao has inner focus

[normal cave]

Wait you meant me?

[fading stratus]

yes

[normal cave]

https://tenor.com/view/wow-gif-20411229

[fading stratus]

-1 close combat also deletes incin

from korai

with LO

[normal cave]

I may be stupid

I'm used to regen shao

Anyways, having lunch now

And then

[pseudo goblet]

Yeah I blew

[normal cave]

https://tenor.com/view/lunala-pokemon-deep-light-moon-gif-10511033

[outer eagle]

wide guard inner focus is gonna become a specific thing at this rate cuz i think there have been multiple mons that were relevant due to that combo

[fading stratus]

shao also has feint

so they cant protect against your astral

and fake out

[pseudo goblet]

Mannnnnn the Clear Amulet ended being what took me down

[fading stratus]

clear amulet isnt that bad

its a pretty unique item I'll give em that

[pseudo goblet]

https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/battle-gen9vgc2025reggbo3-2339723537

[normal cave]

Misclicked

I think that cost me the game

[pseudo goblet]

Meteor on inci? Lol

[normal cave]

Yeah

I think I'm too tilted to play this out

Yeah I absolutely needed to beam incin there

[pseudo goblet]

Oh what

koraidon tanks Moongeist??

[fading stratus]

why shouldnt it

[pseudo goblet]

Is it ghost or fairy

[fading stratus]

ghost

[pseudo goblet]

Ah kay

[fading stratus]

that was a misplay btw

[pseudo goblet]

Me?

[spice rivet]

[pseudo goblet]

https://tenor.com/view/look-what-yep-this-gif-13617583

[normal cave]

Zane you there?

[pseudo goblet]

Ye

[fading stratus]

why

[pseudo goblet]

Its not secret anyway so I say it

I wanna fake out, but terrain

[fading stratus]

tera dark the amogus

[pseudo goblet]

Why?

[fading stratus]

and do spore on indeedee switch into incin with korai

because you die to expanding fore

[pseudo goblet]

Oh true

Welp

[fading stratus]

switch korai into incin now

[pseudo goblet]

Burned to death is similar to sleeping anyway lol

[fading stratus]

and spore the torn

[pseudo goblet]

What Inci

Pon and Flutter

[fading stratus]

wow zane is just champ of throwing

bro saw a matchup where incin is good

[pseudo goblet]

Nothing new

[fading stratus]

and then decided not to bring incin

[pseudo goblet]

Honestly yeah why tf I brought Mane to TR…

[fading stratus]

spore the urshifu

[fading stratus]

spore urshifu icy wind probs here

or bring korai

icy wind

moonblast the ursh

[pseudo goblet]

Welp gg

[fading stratus]

icy wind flare blitz

[pseudo goblet]

This actually outspeed? Huh

[fading stratus]

the throw was not raindancing btw bruial

[normal cave]

I was debating rain or tailwind

[pseudo goblet]

I really thought Tailwind Lunala out speed Mane

[normal cave]

I thought lunala outsped under tailwind

[pseudo goblet]

How much Tailwind actually adds to Lunala there???

[normal cave]

*2

FM gets *1.5 speed

[pseudo goblet]

Simple math? Lol

[fading stratus]

its like 298 speed lunala vs 308 speed flutter

[normal cave]

Then again Lunala was not over 300 speed so that makes sense

[fading stratus]

even if lunala outsped it was guranteed win for zane

thats what icy wind was for

[normal cave]

Yeah, flare blitz

[pseudo goblet]

Expanding force tho??

[normal cave]

I could ko the flutter there with moongeist tho, but then I die to flare ye

[fading stratus]

expanding force is double target onlky in psychic terrain

[fading stratus]

that icy wind was basically chip

so you die to moonblast afterwards

[pseudo goblet]

Ahhhhh I should write that down

[normal cave]

Yeah

[pseudo goblet]

Anything else I should note

[fading stratus]

i play really well when I'm in the backseat

[normal cave]

Rain dance would have let torn live

[fading stratus]

I throw hard when playing myself

[normal cave]

I figured torn won't live, but a non-tera flare blitz in the rain should win

[fading stratus]

next we do zama

[pseudo goblet]

Can we take 15

[fading stratus]

yeah sure

[normal cave]

Sure

What zama team?

[fading stratus]
