Which is amount=?

[fading stratus]

[pseudo goblet]

Huuuuuuu my back

[fading stratus]

its okayish

[pseudo goblet]

That last win was all thanks to Bolt lol

[fading stratus]

you woulda threw that game too

if I didnt guide you

yeah

[pseudo goblet]

Indeed

I should wear an earpiece to the event with you instructing lmao

[fading stratus]

[pseudo goblet]

[normal cave]

Holy shit its beautiful

I love Latios so much

[fading stratus]

I gave you this because the other one has pelliper

and pelliper is insta loss

for korai

[normal cave]

Does Bolt not check it?

[fading stratus]

no

[pseudo goblet]

Latios being targeted majority of the time

[normal cave]

Between Bolt and Ogre you have a threat

[pseudo goblet]

One of them we blame Tobias

[fading stratus]

pelliper's whole niche is you just switch in put rain switch out put tailwind then sweep korai in endgame

[normal cave]

Ah

I was planning on using Sash Tar for that

But that gets nuked by CC

[fading stratus]

tera ghost exists

[pseudo goblet]

Pretty sure I heard they made Fairy type reason being gen 5 Latios Draco meteor

[fading stratus]

if you dont face korai

t tar walls half the team

because of the sand spD boost

probs not this one tho

AV t tar does

[normal cave]

Yeah but sash tar lets me remove sun from Korai

Twice

[pseudo goblet]

Where Ninetales in this weather war lol

[normal cave]

On snow teams

Not many amazing ice restricteds tho

But Veil is broken

[fading stratus]

but its so frail

so you dont run it

grimm is just better for screens

[pseudo goblet]

The 1 percent, Ice rider

[normal cave]

Oh

Damn rip

[fading stratus]

ice rider is in like 20% of teams

so a bit over 1

[pseudo goblet]

The joke was better in my head lol

again, what news

Oh shit 2 minutes left

[normal cave]

How fast is Zane's Korai again?

[fading stratus]

max adamant

185 I wanna say

[normal cave]

Ah

[fading stratus]

187

[pseudo goblet]

There goes the element of surprise lol

[normal cave]

At least every mon here knows protect

[pseudo goblet]

Fuck me

[fading stratus]

I'm down zane

[normal cave]

Cause I am getting outsped and oneshot by Korai with everything here

[fading stratus]

when and where

[normal cave]

Owo didn't know you swung that way

[fading stratus]

its not gay if its with the homies

[pseudo goblet]

The fact that Bolt is the straightest person in the room rn

[normal cave]

What if you want it to be gay tho

[pseudo goblet]

It hit me

[fading stratus]

then bad luck

[normal cave]

Oh?

[fading stratus]

its not possible

[normal cave]

What does that mean zane?

[pseudo goblet]

I thought I mentioned Im mostly hetero but admit men can be hot

[normal cave]

You implying I'm not the straightest guy here?

Haven't you heard? Being into women is gay.

[fading stratus]

then i'm gay

I like women

[normal cave]

Somehow the manosphere reached the conclusion that men liking women is gay

[fading stratus]

is that those sigma men people

[normal cave]

Yes

[pseudo goblet]

We had prove

[normal cave]

Bro you don't even need to go that far

[fading stratus]

yeah I've seen his bio too

[pseudo goblet]

I forgot

[fading stratus]

I should put something in my bio too

[pseudo goblet]

Mines boring af

[fading stratus]

last time it was "I was told come forth and receive a eternal life but I came fifth and won a toaster"

its like a decade old joke

[pseudo goblet]

We probably doing this zama team one time, unless my body fucking with me again like last night

[normal cave]

Now?

[fading stratus]

do probs 2 games then go to bed

[pseudo goblet]

You need some time? Okay we can rest longer dw

[normal cave]

Nah I'm ready

[pseudo goblet]

Aight, my challenge been sitting there for a while lmao

https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/battle-gen9vgc2025reggbo3-2339766482

Holy

This team is made to grill Amoonguss and Im hungry

[golden lance]

You're telling me jugulis is a common mon now?

[fading stratus]

its played in kyogre teams

either it or moon

[golden lance]

Well that aint a kyogre

[fading stratus]

it probably will be used in double restricted

because snarl beats honse

and honse looks like the best restricted rn

[golden lance]

Ice or ghost?

[fading stratus]

ghost

[golden lance]

I see

[fading stratus]

we'll probably go back to calling it bad then good then bad then good

its called the shadow rider cycle

@pseudo goblet btw fun fact

safety goggles protects from sand too

[pseudo goblet]

What?

[fading stratus]

I literally said it

[pseudo goblet]

Oh you meant sandstorm damage

[fading stratus]

yes

my man got incin'd

[pseudo goblet]

Mb vgc made me deadass forgot that Goggle do more than prevent fungus

anyways WHAT

[fading stratus]

he didnt expect incin to live

[pseudo goblet]

Shouldn’t I

[fading stratus]

incin is made very bulky

I made incin to survive surging strike

might've been tera water surging

[fading stratus]

that burn was so unfort lmao

[pseudo goblet]

Ider when I did

Turn 1

Bruial switching Icons while we re doing this lol

[fading stratus]

zane shoulda taken amoongus this game

[pseudo goblet]

[fading stratus]

no it doesnt

lol

[pseudo goblet]

WHY IS MY GAME KEEP DISCONNECTING

[normal cave]

Middle eastern wifi vs SEA wifi

Welp, think I lose to that crit

Yeah, you get weather control from here

[pseudo goblet]

Bolt how much without the crit

[fading stratus]

probably not enough

[normal cave]

Yeah whip hit, that's game

[fading stratus]

bruial how do you like my incin EVs

[normal cave]

Nasty

Very clever

[pseudo goblet]

Kinda upping my win rate(also luck)

[normal cave]

I don't see how I would have won that

[fading stratus]

luck is a part of the game too

[normal cave]

That Twave miss and Cudgel crit were too much

Zane played well too, but he left himself open on those turns

[pseudo goblet]

Wait there was a Thinder wave missv??

[normal cave]

Turn 1 iirc

[pseudo goblet]

Holy

[normal cave]

I went for Twave on Korai and it missed

[fading stratus]

252 Atk Ogerpon-Cornerstone Ivy Cudgel (1.2x Mask Boost) vs. 116 HP / 12 Def Landorus: 105-124 (58.6 - 69.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

[normal cave]

So, not enough

[fading stratus]

zane shoulda brought amoongus

[pseudo goblet]

You wouldve Subs

[fading stratus]

you cant taunt both

you either get spored or wisp'd

[normal cave]

Nah, I went for Epower on Incin

I was willing to sac Lando to get rid of Incin

[fading stratus]

yeah this incin is made to beat zama

[normal cave]

Because Zama beats your chipped and para'd Korai plus taunted Ogre

[pseudo goblet]

Make Inci so it survives Ice rider lol

It prob already do

[normal cave]

I think the Zama matchup is heavily favored

[fading stratus]

max defense incin probs still doesnt survive a close combat from ice rider

yeah zama matchup is favoured for korai

same with pagos matchup

[normal cave]

Pagos gets vaporized by CC

[fading stratus]

I thought korai was the best restricted zane could get

and I was probs right

except the honses

[pseudo goblet]

I was gonna say lol

[normal cave]

He don't have honses

[fading stratus]

he does

he's just lazy

[pseudo goblet]

Too lazy lol

[fading stratus]

to hunt em

lol

its fine

we'll use honses for the november tour

or october

whenever that happens

[pseudo goblet]

Also kinda pile up some exp with this team so

[normal cave]

Yeah

[fading stratus]

its fine team as your first team

[normal cave]

Anyways, I think you can safely say you don't need to worry about Zama

[pseudo goblet]

Event better gift players free shiny Koraidon or shiny mons

[fading stratus]

yeah you probs go to bed zane

tomorrow pagos and mirror

[normal cave]

Go sleep

Pagos needs a non-me pilot

[fading stratus]

yozz

[normal cave]

Because I suck at Pagos

[fading stratus]

[pseudo goblet]

Reminder I have work this Saturday lol

[normal cave]

It's like Kyogre but harder

[fading stratus]

you can do zacian and korai tomorrow

if yozz is free saturday morning you can play in your evenings zane

[normal cave]

Who outspeeds, Zacian or Korai?

[fading stratus]

take a guess

[pseudo goblet]

Probs

[normal cave]

Korai

[pseudo goblet]

Zacian lol

[fading stratus]

zacian ofc

[normal cave]

Ah

[fading stratus]

incin beats zacian

because the atk boost isnt on switch now

its once

[pseudo goblet]

Ahhhh right

[normal cave]

Yeah Incin shits on non-fire physical attackers

And Zacian runs tera ground iirc

[fading stratus]

Incin Amoongus Flutter Korai core is like insanely strong

or fairy

the team I gave you has fairy

[pseudo goblet]

Ice rider lol

[normal cave]

Yeah I can't see that winning vs Zane's team

But that's worth testing

[fading stratus]

its fine you;re bound to have a few bad matchups

so ice rider weakness is fine

[pseudo goblet]

I really need my Ice rider opponent be as inexperienced as me

[fading stratus]

there's no restricted with like every good matchup

pokemon is a game of matchups

[normal cave]

What about a restricted of every BAD matchup

[fading stratus]

rayquqza

jkjk

probs like kyurem

[pseudo goblet]

Yt video ranking for vgc leads/matchup

[fading stratus]

rayquaza's biggest problem honestly is incin

[fading stratus]

rankings are very biased

by nature

[pseudo goblet]

What if its done by wolfey

[fading stratus]

wolfey is also biased

[pseudo goblet]

Very

[fading stratus]

everyone were like hard tr ice rider is shit then it got second in 1 and won 2 events back to back

by 3 different people and 3 different builds

[normal cave]

Yeah can't spam Espeed into that

[fading stratus]

intimidate and wisp makes ray sad

it doesnt even have inner focus for fake out

[normal cave]

What beats incin

[fading stratus]

ursh

[normal cave]

I see

[normal cave]

Anything else?

[fading stratus]

cornerstone

landorus

[normal cave]

Kind of wanna see a ray team that doesn't evaporate to Incin

[fading stratus]

kyogre

the 3 ice rider builds

[normal cave]

Turns out you need good players to play Honse Room

1200 ladder can't do it

[fading stratus]

hard tr ice rider also went undefeated in worlds iirc

and lost in t8

might've lost 1 match in swiss or none

i forgor

[normal cave]

Just run a TR mon to ensure you have an out to TR

[fading stratus]

we've seen people run imprison farigiraf

[normal cave]

Protect Imprison TR and...?

[fading stratus]

fari doesnt run protect

helping hand imprison psychic and trick room

[normal cave]

Why not imprison their protect tho

[fading stratus]

imprison is for tr

[pseudo goblet]

https://tenor.com/view/calyrex-gif-19147333

[fading stratus]

also there's no slot

[normal cave]

Sometimes you want farig but they aren't on TR

[fading stratus]

yes thats what helping hand psychic is for

[normal cave]

Sounds like it makes all non-tr matchups worse anyways

[fading stratus]

no farigiraf has 4th slot free

you just run utility in 4th slot

farigiraf's main point is priority blocker and a tr setter against fast teams

you dont need farigiraf in matchups where you dont need tr anyway

imprison also blocks them reverse trick rooming

[normal cave]

Ic

[fading stratus]

hatterene is very funny vs amogus

especially amogus that has tera'd

[normal cave]

Wait a sec

If we tera Amogus

Doesn't Ursh eat it for breakfast?

[fading stratus]

most ursh dont even run close combat

so ursh eats amogus for breakfast regardless

[normal cave]

The other way around

[fading stratus]

no

I'm saying the correct thing

[normal cave]

Ursh beats Amogus?

[fading stratus]

yes

(ursh gives up close combat for taunt)

[normal cave]

Ahhhhh

[fading stratus]

https://www.youtube.com/live/Rp4hT7WhGp8?si=2_eF3TOxKmzpNq9V&t=10896

do watch this game btw

what happens when amogus teras vs hatterene

I think its game 2 or sth i forgor

but do watch

[polar osprey]

@golden lance some my friends started playing ptcg finally, they were waiting for the rotation

they are already spamming 2-4 budew with bravery charm in every deck

[golden lance]

Naruhodo

[outer eagle]

Reached Necrozma battle
Time to go through my entire box and see what cheese i can prep

[fading stratus]

toxic stall

[outer eagle]

it's a randolocke so nothing is guaranteed yet

just need either toxic, perish, destiny bond, or endeaver

[fading stratus]

a bulky dark type with AV also works iirc

or if you have sash mirror coat

[outer eagle]

again, randolocke
necrozma is randomized

Topsy Turvy could work if a random mon has it

Ok i have an unused Yamask with Curse

Just need to grab Focus Sash and that's Plan A

Now just need a backup plan B

Also a Kricketot with Topsy Turvy

yo Perish Song Wynaut

Starmie has Gastro Acid to suppress potential Soundproof but that requires another Sash

[outer eagle]

oh Natu has Imposter as the 2nd ability so Eviolite Imposter is possible

[swift jasper]

foongus also has that

[fading stratus]

when are you playing zane today bruial

[pseudo goblet]

This weekend gonna fucking SUCKS

[fading stratus]

do remember we'll have to register the team by tomorrow

also these are the timer rules so when playing against yozz do play on them

[pseudo goblet]

Thats part of it, mainly how stress Ill be doing the register

Also, my salesman fucking dropped a difficult af order for my team to make

[fading stratus]

the stress is filling up a google form

I'll assure you the team is good enough

I mean if you register the team you can chill

the wekened we can do practice after you;re free

[pseudo goblet]

After that yeah

[fading stratus]

do remember we'll be using that 0 speed amoongus

from the event

[pseudo goblet]

The main reason Im saying this is how many important shit I have to attend to tomorrow

[fading stratus]

we can register on sunday

dwai

thats the deadline

[pseudo goblet]

Kinda dont wanna bet on last day

Too anxious to be unsafe

[fading stratus]

Sunday morning

if youre free

[pseudo goblet]

Saturday night is good right lol

[fading stratus]

we can do tomorrow after I return yeah

like 2 hours from now

or around 2 hour 30

[pseudo goblet]

Mb I blurred, to do what exactly?

[fading stratus]

tomorrow same time as 2 hours from now

we'll register

[pseudo goblet]

Feeling miscommunicated

Okay yeah lol

[fading stratus]

then we hope you get in

you'll kill me if you dont make in

[pseudo goblet]

https://tenor.com/view/tense-table-smash-mad-gif-13656077

Me not getting in

Me when something doesnt go how I like really in general

I bang stuff like a toddler

Which is how I felt today and mostly likely(if not defs) tomorrow…

I hate my male coworkers okay

[pseudo goblet]

Nah dwai, Ill just send my shiny Beldum army to your location

[normal cave]

Out of town again. I'll ping when I spot a time I can.

[pseudo goblet]

Your family right

[normal cave]

Passover preparations + family

[pseudo goblet]

Dw, I am mentally not ready for practice just yet

I just got home, tired

[normal cave]

You what

[fading stratus]

dwai no practice today then

[pseudo goblet]

You saw nothing

Also I told ya Im tired

[fading stratus]

this sounds very sus after you just said you were bi yesterday

[normal cave]

I mean

Any gender can do that

So orientation doesn't really come into play here

[pseudo goblet]

Bi side is like 20% of me really

Maybe less

[normal cave]

Dwai

What matters is what you feel comfortable identifying as

[fading stratus]

yeah

[normal cave]

What you know about yourself

[pseudo goblet]

Bolt do yourself a favor, dont get into a difficult job

[normal cave]

What that mean

[pseudo goblet]

Still in the mood to hating jobs mb

[normal cave]

Ah

As in an actual job

[fading stratus]

yeah

[pseudo goblet]

Tedious grown ass child thats good at nothing lmao

[normal cave]

That wasn't a question

[pseudo goblet]

Did I stutter lol

[normal cave]

And no, you're not "good at nothing"

You've got patience, passion, and thinking ahead for things you like

[pseudo goblet]

Debatable, all of those lmao

[normal cave]

You can spend days shiny hunting tirelessly

You plan it out

You do your homework about it

[pseudo goblet]

Nope

Impulsive hunts lol

[normal cave]

What about those lists you follow?

I think you're selling yourself way too short

[fading stratus]

I honestly think you're fine zane you just endure whatever I say to you
noone else could

[outer eagle]

"Ultra Necrozma" beaten. Behold the Avengers.

[fading stratus]

4 sack fodder and 2 actual mons

[outer eagle]

And this is what Ultra Necrozma randomized into. It was spamming Eruption like a mf.

[normal cave]

[outer eagle]

nah every mon on the team was intentionally chosen for a purpose

[normal cave]

+3 to every stat

[fading stratus]

purpose to sack them in perish song

[outer eagle]

not really

[pseudo goblet]

Admitting I having difficult time finding the counter argument lol

[outer eagle]

archeops and lucario were to entrainment sturdy to prevent soundproof

[normal cave]

Then don't

Embrace the fact that people like you and find you competent

[outer eagle]

rotom-fan had prankster taunt to avoid opposing taunt

aipom had king's shield so it stalled the hardest

[pseudo goblet]

First part sure, second part, NEVER LMAO

[outer eagle]

and tyrunt was the backup ability shutdown

thanks to mummy

[normal cave]

Wait this is a randomlocke yes?

[outer eagle]

yes

[fading stratus]

how many deaths

5?

[outer eagle]

3

archeops, wynaut and rotom-fan

[normal cave]

o7

[outer eagle]

i just stalled remaining 2 turns with king's shield and swap into sturdy lucario

[normal cave]

Nice

[fading stratus]

gj

[outer eagle]

mental herb never came up but it could have if the randomized flareon had prankster taunt itself

[fading stratus]

its always better to be safe anyway

[outer eagle]

now then time for 10 thousand new encounters in the Ultra Space

[normal cave]

Wait each wormhole is an encounter?

Ig that makes sense lorewise

[outer eagle]

there are different areas in the wormholes like wilds/forest/ruins

[fading stratus]

you just catch a encounter in a area with a different name

[outer eagle]

so i just catch 1 in each differently named dimension yeah

[fading stratus]

it just has to be different 'found in'

[normal cave]

[fading stratus]

I should finish my nuzlocke too

someday

after I finish my exams

oh yeah zane btw I wont be available for your tournament

I'll say sorry in advanced

[pseudo goblet]

Yeah Im feeling Imma do 1 or 2 game max today… also allowing yall to make me go sleep after like 5 hours later

[fading stratus]

my (cousin) sister's marriage is in the 20th so I'll be busy in the 19th as well

[pseudo goblet]

Like the event day? Yeah dw

[normal cave]

I can't handle nuzlockes, they make me cry

[fading stratus]

nuzlockes are fun

you dont need to win every nuzlocke

[normal cave]

The emotional connection part makes me sad

[fading stratus]

I just dont care

[normal cave]

I'm happy playing roguelikes and getting my own ass kicked

But getting friends killed is not it for me

[fading stratus]

oh yeah I saw that one roguelike

[pseudo goblet]

[normal cave]

But I can't really obtain roms

[fading stratus]

yeah I only looked at cradily

[outer eagle]

there are 2 abbreviations i can think of and neither one is safe to say

[normal cave]

Okay I can't find what rom this requires

[normal cave]

Do I just not need a rom to play it?

[fading stratus]

looks like emerald hack

[normal cave]

Ah rip then

Can't do that

Can't get an emerald rom

@pseudo goblet I have 50 minutes to practice

[fading stratus]

[normal cave]

Oki

Which Korai

Amulet or Wolfey?

[fading stratus]

do play wolfey one

if you can pilot it well

[pseudo goblet]

[normal cave]

No, but I can give Zane a heart attack

I think that counts

[pseudo goblet]

I was gonna request a match with Perish trap next game

hiss

Hey look best bug type

[outer eagle]

which one

[fading stratus]

tera bug incin

[outer eagle]

cuz i'm sure at least 3 mons at that team can use tera bug

[fading stratus]

amoongus is dark

korai is fire

incin is bug

scream tail is dark

flutter is normal

i forgot goth

might be dark

[pseudo goblet]

Nah Bolt keeps saying the setence, I just copy lol

Just like stinkaton lol

[outer eagle]

so many tera darks

really afraid of prankster taunt huh

[fading stratus]

yeah goth is dark

its a decent defensive typing for psychic types too

and the team struggles against shadow rider

so y'know

well ghost types in general are good vs perish

[outer eagle]

aside from pagos is there any regular tera normal user

[fading stratus]

pagos doesnt use normal tera........

[pseudo goblet]

Thunderclap did good for once

[fading stratus]

it literally cant use tera normal

[outer eagle]

tera normal hyper beam the goo smh

[pseudo goblet]

There it is… Shadow Tag and the Perish mon on field…

Oh we forgot to send link one sec

https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/battle-gen9vgc2025reggbo3-2340417743

Oh god

[fading stratus]

lol

fun fact bruial's korai is faster than yours

[viral ingot]

Anyone got Rotom from Triumphant Light? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/864992514473852950/1360080134463295729/image0.jpg?ex=67f9d0d5&is=67f87f55&hm=6723060c07940dc53d7ff4b4f0ec00c5ac8e4123fea058a86f6cc910269171ee&

[pseudo goblet]

Ohhhh timid or whatever

Jolly

One of those

[fading stratus]

its a speed tie now

your flutter and his korai

just double protect zane

[pseudo goblet]

Well shit

[latent sleet]

now that i look at it isn’t half of this team weak to scizor

[pseudo goblet]

Or I can follow me

[fading stratus]

no USE DOUBLE PROTECT

[fading stratus]

also no

[normal cave]

You can't lose if you double protect

[fading stratus]

scizor dies to intimidate

[pseudo goblet]

Lol

[fading stratus]

ivy cudgel shadow ball

[pseudo goblet]

So the goal was wait out the goth die to Perish

[fading stratus]

yes

that korai's biggest weakness is that it doesnt have a spread move

[pseudo goblet]

Avenged for Zane from months ago lol

[fading stratus]

LOL

[pseudo goblet]

Welp I threw

Same moves

Both Icy Both CC

Bruial you are evil lol

Gg

Yup he went and done it

[fading stratus]

fun fact

if you have 3 mons with protect

you can always perish them

[pseudo goblet]

Wow didnt even bring the Goth

Oh shit we still have game 3

[fading stratus]

double protect

[pseudo goblet]

Way ahead of you

I was just gonna ask whether Im too often doing that even

[fading stratus]

do you wanna do a funny

[pseudo goblet]

What lol

[fading stratus]

what do you have in the back

[pseudo goblet]

Bolt and Flutter

Same as last two round

[fading stratus]

idk why you dont bring incin

like wtf

[pseudo goblet]

Hmm, fair

[fading stratus]

oh boy there's a funny you can do

I wont say

[pseudo goblet]

So either perish or shadow tag

[fading stratus]

flutter doesnt have perish

[pseudo goblet]

Obviously the toxic one right

[fading stratus]

only perish mon here is scream tail]

[pseudo goblet]

No I mean his fourth mon in the back

[fading stratus]

ah

you can follow me breaking swipe if you really want

[pseudo goblet]

Well that was wasteful

[normal cave]

Zane, I have less than 20 minutes

[pseudo goblet]

Oh mb

[normal cave]

So this is final game

[pseudo goblet]

This will be- yeah

Its okay

Shit I forgot to fire tera…

[fading stratus]

icy wind

ivy cudgel

or tera normal

flutter

[pseudo goblet]

Its a double protect

Huh

[fading stratus]

icy wind and cudgel the korai again

or double protect

[pseudo goblet]

Wasteful again

[fading stratus]

flutter switch into bolt

you probs dont win this anyway

[pseudo goblet]

Ye

[fading stratus]

follow me thunderbolt a slot

[pseudo goblet]

Welp lol

Mb I didnt see the message

[fading stratus]

thunderclap flutter cudgel korai might not be bad

[pseudo goblet]

Not Thunderbolt follow me?

Aight

I thought clap and fake out both priority +1…

[fading stratus]

fake out has priority +3

[pseudo goblet]

Damn

[fading stratus]

just icy wind cudgel

its 50 50

[pseudo goblet]

Oh ig I got lucky for that speed tie

OFC ITS THE TOXIC ONE LMAO

[fading stratus]

moonblast incin follow me

follow me moonblast the incin

[pseudo goblet]

Poor Pon crippled af with that many atk debuff

How much is that anyway

[fading stratus]

follow me moonblast the incin

[pseudo goblet]

Gg

[fading stratus]

follow me moonblast the incin

ggs you win

[pseudo goblet]

Even the struggle

Wait what

[normal cave]

Yup

[pseudo goblet]

Cause I had more mon?

[normal cave]

Speed tiers

[fading stratus]

why do you think I said focus the incin

whoever is slowest wins

because they die last

[normal cave]

Last one to faint wins

[fading stratus]

incin was the slowest

[pseudo goblet]

Huh

I need to write this down

[normal cave]

That's why I went for double protect

[fading stratus]

me be like

[normal cave]

Game came down to a 50/50

[pseudo goblet]

Yup

[fading stratus]

no it wasnt 50./50

you threw

[normal cave]

When?

Oh

[fading stratus]

the play was disable the follow me instead of using protect

[normal cave]

Swapping incin?

Ah

[fading stratus]

then disable the moonblast

shadow ball doesnt kill

[normal cave]

OHHH STRUGGLE

I FORGOT

YOU CAN DO BOTH ON THE SAME MON

[pseudo goblet]

So the last three turn actions shouldve swap places

[fading stratus]

also double protect is 30%

not 50

so last turn was 30/70

[normal cave]

Was sure it was 30%

Err

50%

Anyways, this team is super fun

[fading stratus]

I was like hope you dont see the wincon

and you didnt

[normal cave]

I forgor you can do that

[pseudo goblet]

Wait… so I fully avenged, look at that, huh

[normal cave]

Yeah should have locked pon out of follow me. Cudgel did barely any damage

[pseudo goblet]

Now I need to do it without Bolt guiding

[fading stratus]

zane's misplay was not bringing incin to this matchup

[normal cave]

The tera fire was a bit of a waste

[normal cave]

Yeah you want the parting shot and fake out

[fading stratus]

tera normal probs was waste too but I dont regret telling zane to tera normal

[normal cave]

I tera fire'd to cover for mane moonblasting Korai

[pseudo goblet]

Lock on yalls past saying Perish Trap need to be dealt with asap, thats why Im dead set on dmg only mons for team

[fading stratus]

incin is ghost tera

cant shadow tag a ghost type

also parting shot switches

[normal cave]

I didn't feel like I could reliably shadow tag Zane anyways

[pseudo goblet]

…

[normal cave]

So I didn't bring Goth

[pseudo goblet]

Bonk me

Somebody lol

[fading stratus]

that korai is also timid life orb

[normal cave]

Goth just melted too fast, so I decided to play for KOs

[normal cave]

Jolly

[fading stratus]

so it doesnt do much damage after intimidate

same thing

you get the idea

[pseudo goblet]

Amoonguss was indeed the worst mon to bring into this MU right

[fading stratus]

its not awful

[normal cave]

Amog too slow here

[fading stratus]

its just that korai kills it

both tera and non tera

[pseudo goblet]

Lol

https://tenor.com/view/spinach-mushroom-sourdough-brunch-recipe-gif-3335486

[fading stratus]

lol

that game was too stressful man

[pseudo goblet]

And you had to endure another week

Heck, its only been 5 days

I finished the team training on sunday

Which reminds me I should go do the changes

[normal cave]

I can do more Con Perish later

But not now

Or Zacian if you want, but I don't see how Zacian wins this

[fading stratus]

I'll get you another zacian team

zacian plays a peculiar mon

for incin

guess it and win a cookie

[pseudo goblet]

I havent been clicking Wisp often for like two days huh

[fading stratus]

you havent been clicking electroweb

[normal cave]

Corv?

[fading stratus]

no

[pseudo goblet]

Then again, I literally did not brought it today lol

[fading stratus]

corv too slow

i'll give you a hint its a mon that gets advantage from intimidate

[pseudo goblet]

Serviper

[fading stratus]

seviper doesnt get advantage from getting intimidated does it

[pseudo goblet]

Bolt is there borderline usable team with Malamar in it

[fading stratus]

no

[pseudo goblet]

Dang

[fading stratus]

maybe after gen 10 who knows

maybe we;ll get malamar evo balamar

[pseudo goblet]

I like the evil squid

[fading stratus]

so malamar can hold a eviolite

[outer eagle]

And still die to a stray U Turn

[pseudo goblet]

https://tenor.com/view/gholdamar-gholdengo-malamar-pokemon-gif-17215814386831585971

… can Malamar use Skill swap…

[fading stratus]

yes

[pseudo goblet]

Ohoho

[pseudo goblet]

Can Skill swap block by Good as gold

[fading stratus]

it should

since it blocks transform

and helping hand

[normal cave]

Uhh, Pon-grass?

[fading stratus]

nope

second hint

[normal cave]

Gambito?

[pseudo goblet]

Zama?

[fading stratus]

no

[outer eagle]

Gigachad Ghold
No helping hand needed

[pseudo goblet]

Wait no Zama is legendary

[normal cave]

It's a defiant mon

[outer eagle]

As opposed to a submissive mon

Ofc

[normal cave]

No that's a dominant mon

[fading stratus]

okay 3rd hint

it doesn't have defiant as its ability

[pseudo goblet]

Somehow Ik this is the case

[normal cave]

Benefits from intimidate with no defiant?

[pseudo goblet]

Defiant seems too obvious

[fading stratus]

yes

[normal cave]

Idk then

[pseudo goblet]

I just dont remember the other ability

[normal cave]

Contrary maybe

[fading stratus]

its got the dawg in it

[normal cave]

Okidogi?

[fading stratus]

yep

guard dog isnt defiant

[pseudo goblet]

https://tenor.com/view/inu-brother-gif-26811815

[fading stratus]

it basically works as contrary vs intimidate

rather than +2

[normal cave]

I have never seen that ability in my life

[fading stratus]

that says more about you

[normal cave]

And I had no idea the loyal 3 had abilities aside from toxic chain

Yes it does

[fading stratus]

did you know the monkey has frisk

[pseudo goblet]

https://tenor.com/view/saru-brother-don-brother-gif-1558376043417868322

[normal cave]

I'm looking at their abilities just now

Why does fezent get technitian

[fading stratus]

tldr okidogi gets guard dog and upper hand

[pseudo goblet]

Bolt you should try make Bruial watch Donbrother

[fading stratus]

incin eats shit to that

bruial you should watch donbro

[normal cave]

Oh damn

[normal cave]

I don't watch shows

[pseudo goblet]

Pass down the brainrot and kinda wonder how Bruial ended become after

[fading stratus]

you should now

[normal cave]

That won't change that easily

[fading stratus]

so it can change

[pseudo goblet]

Rev plan really worked, I have kinda become more Inoue-breath than him

[normal cave]

Not easily. It'd take a huge rewiring of my brain.

[pseudo goblet]

Probably best giving you a wholesome series for as the first one

[normal cave]

I haven't watched a show in years

[pseudo goblet]

If we were to really went for it

[normal cave]

I just lack the patience, the energy to open a show, the ability to focus on a show enough

[pseudo goblet]

Why did I imagine Bolt saying ‘Donbro is wholesome ‘

[normal cave]

I can handle some hardcore stuff

Berserk is my favorite manga

[pseudo goblet]

I havent read lol

[fading stratus]

berserk is pgood

[pseudo goblet]

Nor am I ready for it likely

[fading stratus]

havent read it post miura tho

[pseudo goblet]

Yes Ive seen some meme

[normal cave]

Same...

[fading stratus]

berserk has some of the hardest manga panels

[normal cave]

That's fine. It is DARK. No need for the extra depression in your life.

[pseudo goblet]

If Berserk really out-dark toku, ig you could handle them

[fading stratus]

look at this zane

[pseudo goblet]

… maybe not early ultraman…

There were some heavily DARK episode, one of them so bad it got ban, nobody gets to watch the episode these days

[normal cave]

Berserk covers some... horrifying themes. I can't really elaborate in this server.

[fading stratus]

very dark themes

[pseudo goblet]

Meanwhile Pokemon ban episode, Porygon

https://tenor.com/view/porygon-pokemon-pocket-monsters-smh-no-gif-5640995

[fading stratus]

berserk is yet to receive a good anime

which is so funny

[normal cave]

Tbf the Pory episode was not banned for being dark, it was banned for triggering epilepsy

[fading stratus]

yeah

flashing lights

[pseudo goblet]

Which wasnt even caused by Porygon

[normal cave]

Golden Age Arc

[fading stratus]

golden age is relatively tad compared to black swordsman

in terms of being dark

[pseudo goblet]

How different would the world if they did the flashing episode with charizard in it

[normal cave]

Yeah Golden Age is tame up to the Eclipse

[fading stratus]

i wont stand charizard slander

i like the mon

its my first starter so it has a special place in my heart

[pseudo goblet]

X or Y

[fading stratus]

x

[pseudo goblet]

Crap lol

Was wishing you’d prefer towards Y when making teams

[fading stratus]

yeah I'd always gravitate towards good mons

so ofc I'd make teams with Y

[pseudo goblet]

Good lol

[fading stratus]

I generally put my bias aside while making teams

[pseudo goblet]

Well, lets see how well keep our opinion stays after ZA

I literally made Zygarde my top 5 because of one letter

https://tenor.com/view/zygarde-zygarde-100-percent-100-percent-form-zygarde-complete-core-enforcer-gif-14758916196768184669

[fading stratus]

if the leeks are true one of my fav mons is getting a mega

but lets wait and see

I wont say anything

[pseudo goblet]

I mean you can in the spoiler chat lol

Which I forgot existing till now

[fading stratus]

nah dwai

I'll say after ZA

[pseudo goblet]

It really doesnt take much

https://tenor.com/view/ultraman-z-gif-20741723

Even perfect if hes green lol

[fading stratus]

I should say raging bolt is my fav because it has bolt in its name

[pseudo goblet]

Lol

[pseudo goblet]

Pray they do Shiny Raging Bolt soon and Ill name it you

Wait that would need them giving it out with players ot

[fading stratus]

you probs have atleast 1 more gen for that

I probs will play pokemon atleast for a few more years

so I'll just nag you

[pseudo goblet]

Unfortunately lol

[outer eagle]

I completely forgot how dogshit i am at Ultra Warp Ride

[pseudo goblet]

Just shiny hunt, you’ll become amazing

Still nervous remembering I have Sigilyph left in the bird only wormhole

Basically, it could become my next Crustle hunt

Trusting yall remember how that went lol

[outer eagle]

Finally Ultra Crater

Lord bless my soul cuz Ultra Ruin is gonna take forever

[pseudo goblet]

Ultra Moon?

I havent got around to tempt Shiny Guzzlord but you could hunt full ringed white wormhole

[outer eagle]

I can barely get double ringed white wormholes bro

got dozens of full ringed non-white wormholes so far but not single white

[pseudo goblet]

Ehh you’ll find one every 50 wormholes, speaks from experience

[outer eagle]

Finally got one full ringed white

Thankfully it's immediately Ultra Ruin

Damn, that's an adorable OC

[warm sky]

it's only technically, since it's a H-Zorua disguised taking on a Gijinka form based on Akari

I just thought it was cute tho

~~but also scrolling all the way back, it's a male zorua ~~

[normal cave]

Gender-nonconforming Zorua

Makes sense for a shapeshifter

Especially a young and inexperienced one

[warm sky]

tbf might also be a reference to the movie zorua

since that was a male zorua disguising himself as dawn

[normal cave]

Ohhh that checks out

Woah lacey fanart

[warm sky]

I mean I've been getting a lot of lacey fanart lately as I said before

A lot of her x drayton shipwise

[sterile verge]

Probably a surge of lacey bc pokemas

[warm sky]

Yeah assuming so

Tbh I want to see her interact with her dad already

Shouldve been a Torchic and a ghost type

[viral ingot]

PIKA JOCKEY! ⚡ ⚡

[pseudo goblet]

Okay its not as bad as I imagined, tho I still need a third party doing their job well to determine how well I did

Skipped breakfast and came in to work super early worked lol

[pseudo goblet]

Bolt since its register day, any final changes needed?

Maybe after we do one last MU that could raises second thoughts

[fading stratus]

idt you needed much changes

the EVs feel decently good

the moveset feels good too

only consideration is whether we wanna put the grass move or taunt in ogre

[pseudo goblet]

Any MU that could determine that

[fading stratus]

its basically if you wanna have more amoongua/smeargle insurance or better team against water types

[pseudo goblet]

Imo I kinda dont like nuke moves with debuffs unless they re worth, Leaf storm is kinda short for that lol

[fading stratus]

well if you play taunt you wont change sludge bomb for leaf storm

@normal cave I'll leave zane in your hands today as well
https://pokepast.es/8991353ed7741a00
here's the zacian paste play zacian & specs pagos if you can if you cant, play TR miraidon
only thing we need to consider now is whether grass move is valuable in pon or taunt

alternatively you can play zacian groudon as well
