[pseudo goblet]

Sorry incin, take the EQ

[fading stratus]

did you kill the sinistcha

[pseudo goblet]

No

Sinis please dont life- matcha??

Betting on switching to bascu instead of attack, risking the suck- sucker into Incin???

Gambit now dead

[fading stratus]

[pseudo goblet]

Frick tea now 90%, matcha on basc, and almost dead

[fading stratus]

last respect...

[pseudo goblet]

Should- oh they forfeit

[fading stratus]

you were guranteed a win

because they couldnt kill chomp and incin at the same time

[pseudo goblet]

Surely Incin learns heatwave lol

[fading stratus]

it does

but you wouldnt play it

[pseudo goblet]

Thank you game no ‘battle again’ button means cutscene

[fading stratus]

gj on ultra ball

zane make a decision

do I get paradoxes next or UBs

[pseudo goblet]

UBs maybe

Idea, maybe dont Fake out if they lead Whims

Anddddd they lead Whims and Drag lol

[fading stratus]

theu cant encore incin

because its immune to prankster moves

since its a dark type

[pseudo goblet]

I change my mind lol

Sucker OHKO drag

Mega gatr

Okay just how fast is Gatr…

Faster than phox

[pseudo goblet]

Phox lived on 31 hp from water fall

[spice rivet]

Assuming its Scarfed Joly, Gatr is 214 speed, your Phox is at most 204

[fading stratus]

phox is 201

the phox

in question

[pseudo goblet]

Its mega gatr lol

[fading stratus]

tailwind

from whims

maybe

[pseudo goblet]

Ahhh, right

Also they forfeit

[fading stratus]

fox is goated

[pseudo goblet]

Kinda easy fight not gonna lie

[fading stratus]

your phox is kinda bulky

[pseudo goblet]

Phox kinda didnt do much, as always

[fading stratus]

wanna change the mega

[pseudo goblet]

Heres the thing, its a bait

[fading stratus]

wanna guess what would be the best mega in this team

if not phox

[pseudo goblet]

Sure it could hit back hard, but its just a bait, take the focus from enemy, so the partner can do the damage

[pseudo goblet]

Is it holding a flower

[fading stratus]

mayhaps

[pseudo goblet]

Nah, I like it lol

The Bait/ the cannon lmao

Although btw the guy just now did Stun spore Gambit

Basc and Sneas lead

Protect and subs stall yet again baby

Oh fuck you sneasler, Fake out Poison touch

Okay yeah they really want Phox deadb

Also sneasler died to EQ, basc on 45%

tailwind- THEY REALLY WANT PHOX DEAD OMG LMAO

Mega froslass??? When basc health is like that???

Nvm, I might have misclick Phox move, they KO themselves with Wave crash lol

Any second they forfeit now

Okay they good, shadow ball ohko Bascu, took Gambit two sucker to win

[mighty storm]

https://i.redd.it/9dkob9a09ywg1.jpeg

[pseudo goblet]

Huh, bas and peli, I was expecting Dnite

Feel like we re evenly matched, stalled till their mega dnite are open for attack, psychic and rock slide get rid of it

Pretty sure I lose here tho

[golden lance]

@fading stratus by fixing the unnerve bug, they caused another bug with aero keeps unnerve even when mega evolving, while still gaining tough claws

They gave the mf As One

[fading stratus]

holy shit

[pseudo goblet]

Possible maybe??? They keep using snarl

@fading stratus omg I said we re evenly matched I didnt meant like this

Also, forgive me I used discord bad camera

[fading stratus]

lmao

but have you been realising zane

your incin is usually faster than opposing incin

[pseudo goblet]

I remember you mention once yes

[pseudo goblet]

Rotom and Peli lead btw, and volt switch into Sneas

[fading stratus]

scarf rotom I see

[pseudo goblet]

And White herb

Dire claw Chomp eep

@fading stratus @golden lance @spice rivet how I played

||I forgot Arc likes Electro shot in rain, the protect was accidental lol||

WAIT I HAVE A 9 WINSTREAK???

[fading stratus]

all the plays you made were fine yeah

except maybe dont protect your delphox when its faster than their pelipper and their rotom cant touch it

also that psychic into arch might've been sketchy

because if it had def boost it coulda maybe survived eq

so heat wave was probs optimal play there

#AllSkill babyyyy

[latent sleet]

difference in ability

[pseudo goblet]

Spread move doesnt activate stamina??

[golden lance]

It does

But stamina only boosts phys defense

[pseudo goblet]

Okay yeah forgot and didnt saw Psychic ain’t effective on steel

[hasty anchor]

Psychic not being very effective on steel-types

Whoever said "Mind over Matter" is a hack.

I will not take any jokes about the my minimum speed stat.

X · Apr 23, 2026, 10:28 AM

[icy heath]

"the my"

[fading stratus]

the funniest part about golurk memes is that

67 speed stat isnt even slow

[pseudo goblet]

Probably should study how to apply team now

Afaik

Use showdown team, dont use megas, and obviously dont use mons not in champion

And dont use EFF, just pretend with base Floette

[fading stratus]

I'll make the team for you dw

want me to?

[pseudo goblet]

Oh thank you

[fading stratus]

did they ask for open team sheet or closed team sheet

or both

[pseudo goblet]

Although probably later tonight easier for both of us lol

[pseudo goblet]

Let me check if theres anything

Iirc there was a mention about open sheet

[fading stratus]

do check

I'll make you later

[pseudo goblet]

https://youtu.be/OtyE6snK5Zc?si=sKnpE2LiAFU3EDQ3

Yup, ‘opponent’s open team sheet’

Next to chat box

[fading stratus]

https://pokepast.es/194ecd98bc618178

check this

is this correct with the stuff you have

[pseudo goblet]

Should be yeah

Tho I admit, Aqua Jet never did came up…

Less than Flip Turn

[fading stratus]

aqua jet is when you face opposing kingambit

if you aqua jet their sucker punch fails

[pseudo goblet]

Ohhh- wait what

[fading stratus]

yep

[pseudo goblet]

Not just outspeed??

[fading stratus]

its because both aqua jet and sucker punch are +1 priority

so speed decides order of operation

since basc is faster

it aqua jets first

and since you already attacked

their sucker fails

same with any move with more than +1 priority lets say extreme speed from dragonite

[outer eagle]

Just make sure that you have the same prio

[pseudo goblet]

So basically it shouldve been Sucker Gambit counter cheese

Is that right

[fading stratus]

thats one use of aqua jet

[pseudo goblet]

Also btw Sitrus Chomp works kinda fine

I notice people likes to put status effect on it

[fading stratus]

as in?

do you want lum

[fading stratus]

yeah incin dropped to third

how the mighty has fallen

[pseudo goblet]

Its well

[fading stratus]

so no changes

[spice rivet]

Final rank for tn. Champion Rank is currently ~2250 points

[fading stratus]

you should atleast hunt for MB-1

champions will probe be a bit harder

[spice rivet]

Ive already hit MB1 fairly early on

I just want to get Champion to say I did it

[fading stratus]

ah gotcha

goodluck

X · Apr 24, 2026, 6:30 AM

oh they fixed it

[swift jasper]

What was the bug?

[fading stratus]

sitrus berry not activating when you hit a multi hit move on ranked battles

not even at the end of final hit

[swift jasper]

Crazy

They wanted to buff urshifu back

[pseudo goblet]

Why buff urshifu when we now have Golurk

[pseudo goblet]

Kinda threw this one I think

Bruh the nickname

[pseudo goblet]

Yuppp, another lost to perish

[fading stratus]

zane ghost types can switch from shadow tag

[pseudo goblet]

Tbf Bascu kinda already dead before that

Tho I did forget that lol

[fading stratus]

also one kowtow probably ohkos gengar

[pseudo goblet]

Protect

[fading stratus]

yeah but perish takes 3 turns

not 1

[pseudo goblet]

Phantom Force lol

[fading stratus]

phantom force is even better ngl

because you know they wont protect

at end of phantom force=

[pseudo goblet]

Milo and Sneas lead

Huh, Milo Icy wind

[fading stratus]

wanna hear a really funny play

psychic sneasler ans switch to gambit

was what I was aboyt to say

[pseudo goblet]

I considered yes

But fake out

Actually no not considered, went for it

[fading stratus]

if they fake out they cant attack the switching gambit

[pseudo goblet]

Hoooooooookay, Phox live a shadow ball

Heatwave did almost nothing thanks to veil tho

Thank god gambit kowtow Froslass out

Lol

Icy wind activated Defiant

And their bascu live on 1/3 from sucker

Dang another defiant

[fading stratus]

are you +4

lmao

[pseudo goblet]

Wait what, they forfeit after I send pic

[fading stratus]

they realised they had no outs to your gambit

[pseudo goblet]

Btw their bascu had protect

[fading stratus]

oh then why did they spam icy wind

https://klipy.com/gifs/cummins-1--k01KPZY4DG3NQR7NP5FVY447K8Z

[pseudo goblet]

Seeing their ditto play- okay then, Sneasler and tea

[fading stratus]

you should just overwhelm them with offense

[pseudo goblet]

Sneasler protect over fake out????? Flare blitz OHKO their Tea-

Oh crap I have them an incin

Huh, either damage rolls, or is tea higher defense than their own tea

Tea lived ditto flare blitz

Mega crab

Crab protect???

Died to heatwave

Also their ditto is starting to get on my nerves

Refuses to die

Read their fake out, protect and incin ko ditto

[fading stratus]

your delphox is faster than sneasler

unless they unburden

[pseudo goblet]

Yup

[fading stratus]

you can just snipe it with psychic

[pseudo goblet]

After this Im submitting the team

[fading stratus]

gotcha

[pseudo goblet]

Ttar whims btw

Hooooooooo, Phox on 10 from knock off

Oh wait, sand

Phox you legend!

[fading stratus]

bolt evs baby

I definitely calced for this trsut

[pseudo goblet]

https://tenor.com/view/fullmetal-alchemist-edward-alphonse-winry-arm-strong-gif-16404029

[fading stratus]

btw zane

9 HP Points is kinda intentional

because it gets 159 HP

which is 1 less than 160

if it had 160 it woulda taken 10 dmg from sand

its 159 so it takes 9 dmg from sand

[pseudo goblet]

Okay I threw

Or not??

Nvm I totally did

Hyper voice too

Dealt with Aegislash over Prima

[fading stratus]

no shinies?

[pseudo goblet]

Honestly Im not sure

I woulda made you a Jolteon team Zane

[warm sky]

nah a flareon team for bun smh

[fading stratus]

what does flareon even do man

like genuinely

[warm sky]

in randbats it has to toxic orb guts tera normal with quick attack & facade

so

worse dnite

and worse luna

also main reason I'm supporting met btw, bc he's skipping my ttrpg session for this tournament

[fading stratus]

which game

[warm sky]

a fanmade digimon system

[fading stratus]

ah

[warm sky]

we're at like the endgame rn.

[fading stratus]

whats the bbeg

[warm sky]

a super obscure Digimon that never officially got used in anything, and has only ever made cameos in two manga

But he works for Plutomon so technically that's the BBEG

[fading stratus]

ah

how many players btw

[warm sky]

6

[fading stratus]

and youre the dm?

[fading stratus]

its probs the second best eeveelution after sylveon yeah

[icy heath]

Top 5 eevolution is crazy

[fading stratus]

But also jolt is my second fav eeveelution

[warm sky]

@fading stratus who'd be the best eeveelution if each eeveelution got their respective let's go move

[pseudo goblet]

I mean its between Jolt, Leaf, Sylv, Vape, Umbre

[fading stratus]

probs still sylveon ngl

pixilate hyper voice does wonders

[warm sky]

damn

[fading stratus]

I'll ask you a trivia

there;s only one eevelution that has been to a finals of worlds can you guess the year and eeveelution

[warm sky]

I imagined Vaporeon would've gonna hard with a draining movie

[fading stratus]

vaporeon would be fine but like

[warm sky]

Umbreon uhhhh 2013

[fading stratus]

water types are found every 2 pokedex number or sth

[fading stratus]

its umbreon yes but the date is wrong

[warm sky]

Fuck I knew it was umbreon, but I don't remember the year

so I decided to go for an early one

[fading stratus]

it was 2019

[warm sky]

damn

way more recent

I was thinking it had to have been gen 4

[fading stratus]

2013 was the last year of gen 5 smh

Wait wth, I can’t find where my shiny incineroar is

Oh thank god, dudes in Scarlet, dont make me panic and take out my switch in public 🫂

[spice rivet]

Ive come to a conclusion

I fucking hater Sneasler

This team is in desperate need of a better Sneasler answer. Most Sneasler are too bulked out for Play Rough + Shadow Sneak to get the KO now.

Aegislash would be great but thats a 3rd Steel and a 2nd Fire + 3rd Ground Weakness so nah

[pseudo goblet]

Awgislash lol

[fading stratus]

zane if you have time you can also like get the paldea champion ribbon

and other ribbons

[pseudo goblet]

I can rechallenge them in SV???

Oh the school tournament thing, oh..

[pseudo goblet]

Now the shinies Im comfortable sending to battle is

Tora obviously
And

SOMEHOW the other 3 members I do have but, they re from twitch

Basculin mainly, tea and Gible I do have one but I prefer them stay baby

[pseudo goblet]

Not the funniest misspelling Aegislash name I seen btw lol @fading stratus @spice rivet

https://youtu.be/D88vj8VV_bo?si=ymevM0DUwNtKugGi

[fading stratus]

that seems correct no?

it writes aegislash

unless you mean the eggisslash joke

[spice rivet]

@fading stratus btw, I was thinking for the team to replace Mimikyu with either:
Gengar
Sinistcha
Gyarados
Pult again

[fading stratus]

I wanted to recommend sash gengar

but sand

because gengar gives you another means of speed control

with icy wind

also is just fast in itself

and good into stuff

[spice rivet]

Also Psychic can OHKO any Sneaslor too

Gengar would be hella nice with Sash

[fading stratus]

yeah

[spice rivet]

Another thought: Basculegion Male
Wave Crash
Last Respects
Psychic Fangs
Aqua Jet

[fading stratus]

oh yeah btw yozz have you seen the pult set running around

sash draco psychic fangs wisp protect

[spice rivet]

I KNEW I WAS ONTO SOMETHING

(205 lets you outspeed Mega Delphox and ties Mega Lopunny + Manectric)

[pseudo goblet]

Yes lol

[pseudo goblet]

[fading stratus]

just play 206

so you'll be faster than base 135s

honestly I'd probs only play enough atk to kill bulky sneasler

and put rest in SpA

because draco is stab

and it does more damage

[spice rivet]

Do you know what the typical bulky Sneasler spreads look like rn

[pseudo goblet]

The question is, and prob side track not gonna lie

What you gonna play

[fading stratus]

Sneasler @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Unburden
Level: 50
EVs: 32 HP / 4 Atk / 23 Def / 1 SpD / 6 Spe
Impish Nature

• Dire Claw
• Close Combat
• Rock Tomb
• Protect

just do for this

Idt sneaslers are bulkier than this

[fading stratus]

I dont have the game smh zane

[pseudo goblet]

Soon

[fading stratus]

Sneasler @ White Herb
Ability: Unburden
Level: 50
EVs: 20 HP / 31 Def / 15 Spe
Adamant Nature

• Dire Claw
• Close Combat
• Fake Out
• Protect

this is zeen;s team

[pseudo goblet]

Besides, we know you wanna

[spice rivet]

0 Atk Dragapult Psychic Fangs vs. 20 HP / 0 Def Sneasler: 224-268 (128 - 153.1%) -- guaranteed OHKO

[fading stratus]

its 31 def smh yozz

[spice rivet]

10 Atk Dragapult Psychic Fangs vs. 20 HP / 31 Def Sneasler: 176-208 (100.5 - 118.8%) -- guaranteed OHKO

[fading stratus]

yeah this probs should be fine

26 speed

and rest into SpA

[spice rivet]

Nearly a Hoenn special

Ill probs slap a Haban Berry on it and call it there for now

Or Lum to avoid Dire Claw nonsense

[fading stratus]

unintentional but kinda funny

oh yeah zane

to answer your question

on what I woulda played

probably zard x

or gardevoir

or if I wanted to use a less conventional mega probably medicham/manectric

[pseudo goblet]

Not Emboar

[fading stratus]

nope

if emboar got like a decent ability

defo emboar

but it got

mfing mold breaker

[pseudo goblet]

Okay consider, Skill swap Mega Starmie and Emboar

[fading stratus]

skill swap is kinda more of a meme gimmick than anything

if you wanna do skill swap meme

you;d rather just play medicham

than starmie

since you dont need mega

[pseudo goblet]

then play

[spice rivet]

Ofc first Sneaslor I run into is Sash lmao

[hasty anchor]

Is there a Psychic type move that hits multiple times?

-Oh, Twin Beam. But I feel like that's something you can't use.

[spice rivet]

Draco Meteor hit an important target challenge

IMPOSSIBLE

Like fml

[hasty anchor]

Ouch

Best feeling in the world

Hell ya
