Oh makes sense, is it still good at helping setting up trick room?
Cornerstone+incin is a super strong lead into them
Maybe? Has the same movepool so follow me access
Worse ability in sturdy tho
It got paired with dusclops at Toronto and got top 8 and its primary role was to guarantee redirect both attacks to allow dusclops to always get trick room up
Oh interesting
It was a cool team
I might give it a shot then
Go for it, you could just use indeedee and probably have a better time but oh well
Im on 6 failed teams in a row I need a light at the end of this tunnel

I won’t judge I think we know I am equally dumb
Im new to this i wanna do a trick room weather team
Gapdos, thundurus, bolt; swapped between all of: flutter, landorus-I, Iron Leaves, Iron Bundle, Incin, cornerstone, and chienpao
What did I miss
You could use Torkoal, it’s a great sub setter and really good trick room sweeper, it likes having protection from priority as it wants to conserves its health, you can also pair it with lilligant or hisuian lilligant in order to also get a fast mode with after you
Pokemon showdown is your friend 
Raichu and beartic are severly outclassed/bad atm. Zapdos is kinda mid/bad. Galarian Zapdos is neato
Me 
Showdown??
It’s an online ladder system that allows you to build teams without needing to have the Pokemon in the game
And then face other players
True, I haven’t played on cartage in about a month
It’s all showdown for me
I see
okay but a special attacking intimidater :0
I think this may be the first respectable idea we have had today
Landorus-T 
What happened with you?
What, I forget timezones exist
College
Oh
Yea
I was gonna say, I know I forgot time zone but like it’s 11pm rn for me
That would be late for school
i’m sorry but lando T is not a special attacker

Youll get through it my bruddah, I believe 
Ground/Flying
Intimidate
89/145/90/105/80/91
600
Landorus
you call that a special attacker

Earth power, sludge bomb, sandsear storm, energy ball, psychic Im pretty sure
Just use lando I
Ill figure this showdown thing out
LANDO THERIAN NOT LANDO INCARNATE
Don’t try to lando t as a special attacker
Like US college (university) or English college 16-18, or a different system I don’t know of.
CMONNNNNNNNN
Lmfao
SAME MOVE POOL, PULL UP H.ARCANINES STATS
US, I’m 18
Fire/Rock
Intimidate, Flash Fire, Rock Head (Hidden)
95/115/80/95/80/90
555
Arcanine

Oh so first year, me too
Nice
bulk hehe-
I’m now 19, and I was sick all week over my birthday woo me
younglings
Ogerpon rewards good play, a lot
It feels more counterable
Mhmm
Sorry great-grandpa we weren’t all born at the same time as the dinosaurs and Joe Biden

That Mimikyu is how I looked in all fairness
boomer 
Mate I live in England, it’s a mess so I don’t give a fuck about politics just make fun of politicians it’s the only fun I get
Nevada
Nvm fuck
Was it Nevada
They don’t have one that’s just SODA
I offer this one instead

o.O
Powering up his Biden blast
Obamna 
SODA 
I JUST CLICKED THE FIRST ONE 
The biden blast edits on YT are peak braibrot but its kinda hilarious
Yeah
Nah
I see your point
Whatever the mulch shit was was peak brainrot
Or Yk, skibidi toilet
Peak as in bad
Not as in good
Now I gotta listen to gen 5 music again to cleanse the brain, I have a great time listening to gen 5 music
Had to double check to make sure what channel I was in for a second, there. 
Rn we got the one Captain Boomersng meme that’s actually funny
Competitive players are generally degenerate loners, usually who are addicted to memes
o.O
Slight taste of the truth
Is comfey good?
Oh it’s gone, Volcarona is gone forever one meme to far
~~ on either side
Strikethroughs?
Lmao
So your telling me the boomer now’s far more about technology than I know


Even though the messages are deleted, the stain remains. 
Well y’all know what I meant
I mean depends on what you call a boomer. I'm nearly 40 and I happen to know a lot about technology.
Oh Im sorry did you not take a class in markdown in order to write maths formulas on a computer 
Nah I don’t I think you need to send the meme again
Well hopefully I’m not banished, that would be unfort
Not you
@moderaters ban pls
No, I take History and I’m probably failing
KITSUMI
Again I’m really not smart educationally
lurker 🫵
If comp chat regulars were banned the first time they were toxic or said something problematic then most if not all the channel would be gone by now.
So true Amon
Hello miss moderator please do not ban me.
I would have disappeared day 1, I got into an argument with an idiot who didn’t know what they were talking about, neither did I
It's still tepig (tepig:
)
alright, well that’s unfortunate
Probably easier to just not be toxic or problematic 
Guess I’m boutta get banned
See ya, Drago

Where did moderator go?
I'll tell Flam you're bullying her art and she'll ban you
Nice knowing ya 
Oh moderator is back
WAIT NO
What do I need to do to get banned
ITS THE BEAUTIFULEST DOGGO
It's easier than you think.


Maybe don’t while the mod is right here
nothing ventured nothing gained
What if I want to be permabanned
😭
Probably easy.
Then do it now so I don't waste my time looking for it later
Fr
Do what now?
Whatever you want to do to get banned. Why else would you be asking?
But I need to know how to get banned
Ah fuck it I’ll just the leave the server, nice meeting you all for a few months
Hope you all do well
Bye
Ayo matcha gotcha is a healing move? Triage skillswap when 
Making a big deal about leaving or getting banned when it seems like you’re engaging in this chat feels pointless.
…
Skill swap isn’t consistent lol
And also you get walled by Hearthflame and rillaboom
It's peak priority. +3, cant be redirected, hits both, good base power, good secondary effects, used on a good kon
I can fantasize
Fair
Had to go tell a employer I can’t interview, cuz I learned it’s a 40 minute journey and I’m just, yea hell no I’m not doing that
Especially cuz they needed night shifts and I literally wouldn’t get home haha
40 min journey is nothing here 
Man I used to walk like 2 miles to work every day 
I literally just finished an interview of a 40minute away company
I could never
The things you do for a paycheck
I just, I do bus travel
Yeah I mean we have horrible winters, so you can imagine how fun that was in blizzards 😄
The busses stop literally when all the food places close
I used to take the bus/train to work every day, and it was about that long of a journey haha. I just read a book
So, it has to be biking distance for me
Books/podcasts go hard
I just can’t get home at night that’s the issue
I used to study on busses when I was getting around for college
That would be a bit of an issue, yeah
I need to get better study habits, I’m behind in a class cus of that lol
Gotta grind it out probably tomorrow
Convince an employee into carpooling 
Procrastination is a monster 
Time to get off discord 
I’m on my way home so
Study!
Can’t study yet
Lucky 
Lmao
Also, where I live, there’s like, 30+ places to work
And none of them are hiring, like wtf
Everyone's struggling atm
Everyone be hiring 15+ miles out
Businesses losing money, can't afford to hire
its a rough time out there fr
Yea, post Christmas be like that
Yeah the struggle is definitely real. My wife just got laid off because she made too much money 

Super insulting
So many franchises/businesses/shops closing down, because no one can afford anything
They offered to let her cut her administrative leave short and forego severance to come back at entry level and take a pay cut though
Super nice of them 
My advisor says everybody's laying off, tech laid off like 300k people. Investors are getting nervous 
Wtf that's disgusting
Yeah that's the exact word I used to describe the company and their actions/justifications
They even let her go silently. Didn't let her speak
Wayfair is a horrible company, full stop 😐
Talking about jobs reminds me of the trappings of adulthood and how much a person has to consider. 
Being an adult sucks
For sure. Now we're just worried about our rental situation - landlords keep raising rent costs but refusing to fix things lmao
She's got 2 months of aministrative leave and a severance check so they could avoid legal issues
My mom is currently on the phone talking about arranged marriages
That’s a sweet offer.
All you have to do is babysit 90% of the time
🤝
I always forget how ingrained arranged marriages are in my culture.
I’m pretty good with kids.
It really does surprise me that it's still happening
It’s really big in Islamic families from what I’ve seen.
I can’t speak for other Asian cultures but Indian/Pakistani people see it as a rite of passage.
My dad once told me “Love comes later in a marriage” and that had to be the most sobering thing my father has ever said to me.
Damn
Thought she was chill, nah, played with me a lot, that hard screwed with my head
I was about to say, how did she screw with your beard? 
Nah jk, but yes that was a rough month and a half
It just wouldn't feel natural to be forced into love in a relationship imo

Social anxiety, my faaaaavorite
It’s also a mix of me hating people so that doesn’t help
You never know what you’re getting into when you meet new people and that kinda freaks me out sometimes
BUT I’m gonna get insanely depressed during college so, gotta break that anxiety
I get social anxiety. Putting yourself out there and making small talk is 
My social battery is dead after school usually
I feel like social distancing made me socially awkward recently lmao. Not quite social anxiety but I'm like a trainwreck sometimes now 
Then I just, do homework and then go “why am I lonely”
I was talking to a friend and lamenting a bit at the variety of coincidences that have to seemingly line up in order to date and be with someone. Of course there’s solace in being amongst yourself, loving yourself, so in, but it’s still really lonely at times.
Idk how I feel about dating since I am unable to drive
Which again heavily limits my ability to work and go anywhere
:0
Amon!
Nova. Good to see you.
Pokmon
aaaa late reply-
but it’s good to see you too 
lmao whaaaat-
Whatre the odds i get utterly destroyed if i used a whiscash in vgc
Wiscash just made day 2 in yesterday’s tournament
Why
I was trolling
This is a very sad day for the three total whiscash fans me included
It will be my sole duty to bring whiscash up
Was just climbing the singles ladder and had the best rng of my life, my grass tera Dnite Vs Heatran and they missed 4 magma storms in a row 🤣
bad pokemon
but if you're playing for fun, you can find some kind of use for it
I cant quite figure out the last 2-3 slots on this team
Cornerstone+incin (cudgel/horn/follow, snarl+sitrus) and Bmursaluna (standard, no vwave) are my core. Giraffe kinda works as a TR setter? Amoongus kinda works in some matchups? Calm mind Garticuno isnt useless? Nothing seems to slot nicely
Any thoughts would be appreciate
I have no clue what reg f is yet but trust i will sweep
cornerstone + giraffe is almost guaranteed trick room
If you are trying to set up, maybe run Indeedee to follow me and set terrain to stop any priority/prankster moves 😅
I miss VWave
Becomes super passive though is what I lm seein tho. Like giraffe isnt doing nothing but not enough and ogrepon claos cheeks but also isnt likely to survive turn 2
Whats the team
Cornerstone/incin/bmursa
Which terrain
Indeedee ability sets up psychic terrain
That just asks for Farigiraf lol
Ohhhhh i see i see
Maybe i should use reuniclus.........
There are better psyspams
You run Farig/Urshifu/Boom or Flutter
Boom?
Rilla
Ursaluna loves Farigiraf, and Farigiraf almost always wants certain mons that pairs with it:
- Fake Out user
- Hyperfast mons that hit hard and benefit off anti-prio with damage boosted by Helping Hands
Water is fine
Just bexause Darkshifu maintains high usgae in regionals, what ive seen on ladder at like 1700s is Watershifu
Any conaideration one way or the other flutter/boom?

Watch a replay of a Pokémon battle between WoodTofu and pokeveteran04! Format: [Gen 9] VGC 2024 Reg F; Date: Jan 30, 2024
Is durant a viable mon
Helping Hand and Moonblast to the win
Good calls on your part tho
Trying to belly drum setup in reg F is painful to watch
Hes still running that same team
I kept running into him on ladder while climbing to 1700s
think hes 1750
or sth
Cause
Wack teams have 2 ways of working
- Skilled players piloting it with a high degree of comfort or knowledge
- Set gameplan regardless of matchup with high value turn efficiency that allows people to run away with the game immediately
I really should drop those guides
I really needa make that EV app already so I dont have to keep track of all this shit
EV app?
anyways, here goes something:
https://pokepast.es/e3e81ead92baf1a6
Yeah, basically a snapshot of various valcs represented visually. So that you can easily communicate (or archive) what the exactly you EV everything for

Kinda realized that I play with screens a lot and have the most success with screens
So, expect a lot of Grimmsnarl lol
I loved the part where you clicked Tera Fairy Helping Hand Moonblast
This happened, after gouging fire failed me for the 15th time
Not that one, the team-breaker feature or whatever its called within the builder
oh-
Yeah it gives you a visual of like
Speed tiers to consider and offensive/defensive calcs iirc
Fr

hmm true, but i enjoyed it. the ordinal scale movie is also good
Tofu the one bitch that I talked about who like had her "brother" threaten my friend said before I fucked off from her
That I'd enjoy Highschool DxD
What you think
I heard Alicization is rlly good
No game no life is also bery good. hoping to see more tho
Lol
About what

The opinion or the anime? I never touched the anime
Basically yeah would I like it
I never touched it myself
ok vc time
But I think she also insulted me for "liking fan service" cuz it looked like one of those
Yes I love VC time
I’m not getting on my laptop today
i mean uh- dxd isnt something i would watch personally. no worthwile plots to watch and too much fanservice stuff
Cuz I can’t stand the chair I have, I fucking hate that chair
Get a new one
get a new ergonomic chair mr grimmsnarl
Sitting on a metal fold up chair all day is miserable
Bruh
With what fucking money
Why is it a METAL FOLD UP CHAIR
Well it has “padding”
(The padding is non existent)
Oh, I see there’s a vc in session
oh look a metal fold up chair too
Bro has the men's house furniture
Dudes really living like this
fucj off
Extra nerd
Lol
FUCK OFF


Maybe I’ll get a chair with the like, $30 I have or ask my dad about maybe buying me a cheap but not miserable chair to sit in
Oh, wait my mom has office chairs, I just remembered
Yeah use those
I sure hope she’s not using one of them
I got a gaming chair and it's actually been pretty great
Probably depends on who you're buying it from
oh really? which one did you get?
most gaming chair are to stiff compared to like office chairs
Extraordinary sitting experience guaranteed by our newly improved linkage armrest and the massage lumbar pillow with a fits-all USB port which helps a lot with easing back pain. 【EVERYTHING YOU NEED FOR A CHAIR】: High level mobility supported by a 360-degree swivel and ultra-smooth caster wheels; 90°-165° reclining for working, gaming, reading o...
I don’t have that kind of money
like a good budget office chair or like ergonomics office chair is cheaper than gaming chair
I wasn't suggesting that you buy a gaming chair on no money, Drago. I was just saying not all gaming chairs suck 
that looks kinda stiff ngl 
Dude, I sit on a metal fold up chair I could care less what chair I get as long as it isn’t this shit anymore
but yeah, not all gaming chairs are bad, and its definitely preferance tho
Also I have sciatica so that massage pillow thing is actually friggen awesome.
And I quite literally only need a decent office chair
Like I can’t focus cuz I’m constantly shifting to not feel uncomfortable
When I had a crappy fold-out chair situation I just dropped a pillow under my butt 
I’m not ruining my pillows
People who use smeargle a-muk probably enjoy strangling small animals

Honestly thought of tooling with it recenttly. 🤷
alright, kinda, taking matches better now
so much god damn rng losses today
i kinda see why, im just taking hits so its plenty free for the game to just, fuck me over
with crits
so, thats good to know
c'est la vie
what
Which is why when you asked "Do i have any bad matchups" I said none
Cause its just RNG
weeeelllll
amoonguss isnt good
incin is, kinda rough
lando i is also kinda annoying
a lando+incin lead kinda sucks
so, i also just dont need to bring volc every game, but id like some kind of alternative so i want to test SD wellspring
um, also not sure about the 6th
i didnt like amoonguss too much, sini felt eh, glimm (it was lorb cuz i didnt know what else that wasnt power herb) felt eh, shifu just never entered the battle I didnt see myself needing to use it
um, i struggled the most with like, incin and amoonguss mostly
otherwise it was a missplay or a failed read
so, thoughts on a 6th or, other changes?
https://pokepast.es/893b26b570e7c25e I'll do this for now, thoughts?
Some evs on that Ursh
did i not, wow
I’ve done the same about 4 times, it happens
Yeah I don’t see much to improve, it looks great already
All that matters is how u pilot it
https://pokepast.es/64e7854b70943ae1 won 7 times so far with this team
Final push completed
Yo can someone help me Ty

https://pokepast.es/fe1c875e631d9970 i got this
this singles?
no vgc
Follow me
Ivy Cudgel
Horn Leech
Spiky Shield
and drain punch over close combat to protect Iron Hands bulk
k
some investment in SpDef on IH too
also Tera Fire is good on IH to protect against Flutter and stop it being burned
thx any pokemon ishould add
depends what you want to do with the rest of the team. If you are purely looking to try win as many games as possible take a closer look at some of the recent regional teams
lando t
with this set Landorus-Therian @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpA / 252 Spe
Tera Type: Ground
Naive Nature
- Earthquake
- U-turn
- Stone Edge
- Grass Knot
its simple but effective
final team https://pokepast.es/13593d4cff47ec14
Hold up
first time playing VGC?
- Protect is required on Samurott otherwise you’re always blowing a Tera to avoid Fake Out.
- Heavy Slam over EQ on Iron Hands, why are you Careful nature?
- That Lando-T set is incredibly inefficient. Missing Tera Blast for strong neutral STAB pressure with Fly, can’t hit Amoonguss/Ogerpon. No Rock Slide means no flinch outs or spread damage. Stomping over EQ especially because your Hands doesn’t have Protect and Rillaboom is relevant. Grass Knot is pointless.
- Air Balloon is also a bad item considering it doesn’t come into play a lot of the time.
- Your missing the main moveset of Amoonguss, Spore/Rage Powder/Pollen Puff
yeah
Listen to Tofu, he will guide you to the promised land
its done https://pokepast.es/93f39adb0d2a2210
protect instead of foul play on amoonguss, protect instead of recover on gholdengo
and you’ve got yourself a pretty decent team
Is Electro Shot worth it l, knowing its a 2 turn unless opponent sets Rain
Only if you're running Rain.
@timber dome
what
Read above about Electro Shot, you have no Rain Setter
o
Guaranteed 2 turn, easy Protect read or switch
k
Think I have mine finalised: https://pokepast.es/d081a65b528e3cbb
I know, Its not easy to do EVs on cart lol
whats a red flag?
2 more wins 🙏
bvless
GG
Go gettem
o
ive played a lot with lots of shite teams getting Ls, is it worth making a new showdown account to ladder climb or does it not make a difference?
Usually people make new alts all the time to ladder to get an accurate rating of the team.
But I also don't see what EVs on cart have to do with your paste
Its a copy of my cart team
I think you should probabyl fix up those EVs
Just keep in mind if you're investing in an even number of stats, you're wasting EVs
If you do calcs, pay attention to the final stat rather than the amount of investment needed
Then use the sliders on showdown to match the number
Therefore you'll never really go wrong
@next stump Did you do it
problem is collecting the items to correctly distribute those stats on cart
easy to just use vits
I got up to 1885 and now I’m 1850 rip
oof

Watch a replay of a Pokémon battle between yukei1209 and WoodTofu! Format: [Gen 9] VGC 2024 Reg F; Date: Feb 6, 2024
how do i improve this? https://pokepast.es/1ff97b6dec328779#
Meanwhile this is all my mental can take
Send non-OTS first
But to start, Sash/Scarf is better for Darkshifu + farigiraf.
And with Ogerpon-Heartflame, you might as well use Grassy Glide with setup
Especially since Mold Breaker can ignore opposing Armor Tail.
I don't see a point in having a defensive Ogerpon Hearthflame when it's strength is it's speed
Another argument for Grassy Glide if you opt for this bulkier spread.
But it's even more value if you just maximise your offenses.
Farigiraf also just wants a defensive item considering it's build supportively
That set isn't doing damage even with Throat Spray
And if you really want damage item Urshifu, it's best to opt for something like a defensive Tera in this case.
Without Sash you're so open to just outright losing to Flutter.
been trying to make a sunny tea,
i replaced chi-yu with incin and now im wondering about lando evs, any idea?
:0
you left chi-yu…

and since shifu is sashed should i jusr run max max?
double intimidate can REALLY hurt ppl
so can beads of ruin 
lilikoal is standard hehe
Defiant and competitive would like a word
hey-
they said hurt people. never said hurts the opponent

yeah so anyways i can improve the team?
wouldn’t intimidate hurt you too though cause of all the physical attackers and no defiant?
idk i usually just howl my way out of it

ill take it the team is decent, time to make a rain one
specs peli will be run
thoughts?
araquanid…?
idk why
Probably because of the ability and that fact water moves are getting extra damage
Araquanid is ass lmao
It would it really hard in a rain team but if it isn't fast a rock move gonna send it to the shadow realm 💀
its…
slow…
You’re supposed to use it in tr
And even then 1 intimidate kinda kills its momentum
Have fun fighting incin
idk about CA on lilligant
lilligant is very frail and so people like to opt for sash
Grass/Fighting
Chlorophyll, Hustle, Leaf Guard (Hidden)
70/105/75/50/75/105
480
Lilligant
Why I said if it isn't outspeeding anything 💀
It can take a hit or two but still not worth it
Anyone have good EVs for a careful natured Inceniroar? I been looking but I’m not convinced I like any of them lmao
Liligant should be running sash
araquanid is like-
prime hard rainroom mon but with rain there’s bleakwinds-
and with bleakwinds there’s death everywhere
Mmm I wanna rock Clefable but I also wanna run flutter mane🤔
Doesn't have the best coverage either

Well tera and item are what I'm running, but the EVs are his
Trailblaze would of been nice it it wasn't already a slow mofo
I might send my team rq
Planning to do some changes
Bet. I appreciate it. I have 252 HP, 140 Def, 80 Sp.D, and 36 Speed.
I’ll compare the two! Tofu is legit🙏🏼
Okay let me get the link ready then I'll send it
I don't remember where I've seen that from
If you end up using what you got, I'd take 4 EVs from SpD and put it into attack as you're basically wasting those rn anyways
Can only invest in either 3 or 5 stats without wasting, so rn 76 EVs is doing the same exact thing as your 80 is rn
Team I've been the only 3 that been putting in most of the work tho is meowsarada, great tusk, and skarmory
I had no idea lmaooo. Thank you
dirtyjon has given 1 Gen Rep to dollarmonke
Also it’s from Smogon
Ah ok
Could you explain a little bit further in depth or link something I could read on how for example the 76 vs 80 is the same.
If you wanna make sure you're not wasting
Once you have the format in teambuilder set to format, should just be able to use sliders
Ok so this is VGC correct?
Yes
I see what you mean
Like checking the stat in team builder and see what it does
Ok so in VGC, the levels are set to 50
So the way EVs work
For 1st stat point, you use 4 EVs
Then for every stat point after, it requires 8 EVs
So by this 4, 12, 20, 28 and so on
Oh I did not know that
Result: 9.500000
Man that’s helpful! 🙏🏼
I need to go get my hands on some berries 😂😂
It doesn't end in whole number, which means you waste
You the true MVP thank you!
Sure thing
You can often buy dozens at a time at the auction house
Are they popping up more frequently than before? How much do they typically run? I need to farm them asap 😂
You can do the day skip to get new auction items
Thanks!
What EV spread should I use for Delphox? My plan is to set psychic terrain 1st and the next turn I’ll use overheat to get the stat drop and sub out with eject pack. That’s really all I need it for
Max Hp max Sp atk? Or max Speed and Sp Atk

it looks hella solid tbh
Singles or doubles?
If you need a psychic terrain setter why not just use indeedee?
Singles doing a starter team
After I set that up I swap into sceptile with unburden and psychic seed
Speed/spatk or speed/hp ig hp might make you live an extra bit but spatk gives more damage
Interesting
fr
Shame I know zero about Singles lol
I need help with a singles team💀
AV tink :0
I fixed my entei finally
Are there any good sub legendaries that are good niches?
I need a new jank build
Pseudolegends you mean?
Ttar apparently had success last regional. Bax and Metagross I hear people talk about but not actually seen used to great success.
Gsrchomp was prevalent in regionaldex format
Oh dragonite choice band is apart of a meta core in paonite+entei
Salamance is outclassed by Roaring moon
Mmm
I'm making some tough choices right now🥵
Just got a Hisuan Samurrot and I'm making changes to the team but now I'm wondering if I need another tank or another Special attacker
Peeled clean off
?????
Please clean your glove box
what the fuck did it just like stick to your finger
I meant non box legendaries, but I guess I could’ve just said legendaries, my bad
Ohhh
Ye typically people refer to em as legendaries and the rest as restricted legends (since the box legends are typically reserved for restricted formats in vgc)
Entei, chienpao, chiyu, latias, suicune to a lesser extent, raging bolt
Uhmm walking wake and ting lu too i guess
Oh Urshifu and ogrepon obviously as well
Galarian Zapdos recently getting popular (choice scarf)
Oh the genie trio, mainly lando and tornadus
Enamorus not so much
How would raikou or k Zapdos fare in this meta?
Electric/Flying
Pressure, Static (Hidden)
90/90/85/125/90/100

Zapdos-Galar
Electric
Pressure, Inner Focus (Hidden)
90/85/75/115/100/115
580
Zapdos maybe honestly. Flying type offenses, decent bulk, and electric typing are nice atm
But I cant say for sure
Raikou is probably useable, but idk
Does the old eq discharge set work?
Didnt play back then so unfamilar with it, but there's a lot of grass and ground types running around
Rillaboom grassy terrain also prevalent
So maybe not ideal. Especially with all the bulk in the format
This makes me very uncomfy
I need to bro
I haven't cleaned my car out from the time period I was sick due to like just not having ANY time
But yeah like I had some double stuff Oreos and like y'all ever try to take the cream off them? Well these ones actually like
Peeled off it was so fucking satisfying
Also that's not my glovebox
For some reason I have a little compartment above my glovebox
The reason it has napkins and straws in it is cuz I intentionally put them there lmao
Hot take
The oreo cookie > cream
Hotter take
half the cream to cookie ratio > default cream toncookie ratio
Its like half sugar with boba 
Honestly not too hot
Based
It was just real satisfying to peel the shit off
So like taking half the cream off?
Og, or any specific flavor that gives you this insanity?
More or less. Me personally I like to eat some with normal cream some without any. Then use the filling for crepes or some shit later on
For crepes? I mean I honestly go same way but like
Fuck you mean crepes?
You save up Oreo creme for baking?
what is a crepe
Put it in a tupperware and whenver you need some sugar 
is it the French thinggg
oh
I was fuckin joking
You actually keep Oreo creme in a container
can you make chicken crepe
no waste baby
Lmao c'mon
Ye. Both savory and sweet options
shit
Regular
Good ol regular oreos
I mean at like 4-8 cookies a sitting, it's a good (college) breakfast or desert the next day
😋
Hot take: Single stuff > double stuffed
based
Lmao
College breakfast
hot take
Oreos aren’t even good
have you had a bourbon biscuit
they’re way better
Yeah single stuff kinda better
I just grabbed from gas station and it was like 8 vs 10 Oreos although I don't think it mattered either way
I had street tacos
it’s like a chocolate Oreo
THESE THINGS?
it’s so good
Oh brother Inhavent had these in sooo long
I can still feel that cardboard ass texture before it gets soft
the fuck did you just say
The cream is soo good
anyways
my math teacher is a fucking god
he plays vgc
he said he’s like top 500 rn
Is it real bourbon?
Based as hell
Nah just the name
Im gonna battle him next week
with my reg e team
he has tibkaton and it’s putting in work
it was on cart

Tinkaton top 500 
frr
