im just going terapagos rn for reg g
not a bad choice
probably the only restricted that doesn't immediately die to caly-s
why tera dark on gholdengo?
yeah i mean you have a ghost resist and ghost immunity
is kyurem snow an actual thing or is it just a meme
it exists
hm
idt its bad but youre competing with sun
blizzard spam sounds scary
yeah i think i'll probably be fine
Does choice band work on urshifu rapid?
you could do that ig
it usually wants to run scarf tho
scarf just seems better
urshifu already does stupid damage
I’m just thinking that it might be able to OHKO terapagos
Maybe stellar form
Oh wait they have same defense
nothing
ohkos terapagos without boosts lol
i am curious
oh
252+ Atk Choice Band Urshifu-Rapid Strike Close Combat vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Tera-Stellar Terapagos-Stellar: 312-368 (116.8 - 137.8%) -- guaranteed OHKO
so if it tera's yes
Terapagos is so bulky
anyone got a groudon walking wake team, that has answers to trick room calyrex ice teams?
I find i have alot of trouble in that matchup
I'm gonna put recover on ho oh instead of tailwind and hope that t wave is enough speed control
So euic starts in like 2 hours right?
yep
I have question can scarf chi yu outspeed caly shadow ?
yes
timid 252EVs caly-shadow hits 222 speed while scarf modest 252EVs Chi-Yu hits 228 speed
eternatus seems very interesting
Ah good too know
it gets cosmic power 
and recover
Stall Eternatus is a very real concept
You know whats funny
Max Spe Adamant Urshifu speed creeps Timid Shadowrex
shaowrex is interesting
maybe i just run max speed shifu lol
with scarf
that seems very valuable
what moves would cosmic power eternatus run? other than cosmic power (+recover)?
sludge bomb and idk what else it gets
Assurance, Body Slam, Brutal Swing, Cross Poison, Dragon Tail, Facade, Fly, Giga Impact, Gunk Shot, Outrage, Payback, Poison Jab, Poison Tail, Take Down
Draco Meteor, Dragon Pulse, Dynamax Cannon, Eternabeam, Fire Blast, Fire Spin, Flamethrower, Flash Cannon, Hyper Beam, Meteor Beam, Mystical Fire, Round, Shadow Ball, Sludge Bomb, Sludge Wave, Snore, Solar Beam, Tera Blast, Venoshock
Agility, Confuse Ray, Cosmic Power, Dragon Dance, Endure, Gravity, Light Screen, Protect, Rain Dance, Recover, Reflect, Rest, Scary Face, Screech, Sleep Talk, Substitute, Sunny Day, Toxic, Toxic Spikes, Venom Drench
A move displayed with Bold text benefits from Same-Type Attack Bonus when used by Eternatus.
the one i saw just now was running flamethrower
yeah flamethrower is probably required for steel types
and ice types
flamethrowe and eternabeam/sludge bomb
yeah thats sounds alright 
i'm having evil thoughts of eternatus behind screens now
Poison/Dragon
Pressure
140/85/95/145/95/130
690
Eternatus-Eternamax
jeez
zamazenta is good too
yea
ig on paper it beats terapagos
idk about in practice
but thats where gholdengoat comes in
iron def body press
No additional effect.
Steel
Physical
100
100
5 (8)
Copied by Mirror Move.
Makes contact.
If holder's species can evolve, its Defense and Sp. Def are 1.5x.
recover is working much better than tailwind for me on ho-oh

Does anyone have any recommendations for a moveset for guzzlord for the battle royale in usum?
why-
For battle royal
Bulky Guzzlord Maybe?Sorry i did not really play the AAAAAAAAAAAAAA Pokemon that much
i don't know anything about battle royale so i can't say for sure
I just need it for bulk but I don’t know anything about competitive Pokémon lol
I think you should go 252 attack 252 hp 4 on special defense
And for movepool
Dragon claw
Crunch
Protect
Whatever you want idk
Does assault vest stop me from being able to protect?
Yes
Ah okay
With protect you can stall half of your turns and see the chaos between the other 3 opponents
The times you dont protect just finish off an opponent
I’ve got a xurk as a main attacker rn, I think this guzzlord is mainly for not losing if xurk dies
But protect is a good idea, I’ll give it a shot
BP farming
I just caught a 0 speed ting Lu. What’s the best build for it?
Assault Vest/Throat Chop/Stomping Tantrum/Heavy Slam +1
If with Gouging Fire/Dondozo, then you go Sand Tomb + Ruination
with Sitrus.
or Rocky Helmet
Would leftovers be a good item for the bulky boy?
Dark/Dragon
Beast Boost
223/101/53/97/53/43
570
Invest in it's defenses lol not HP
But would leftys be good?
Then stockpile your way to success
This is for PvE content? Whatever is fine, lefties is fine.
Okie thx
rockruffnroll has given 1 Gen Rep to woodtofu
happy EUIC day
Happy EUIC day
hope yall seein that realize thatll be you if you try n build your team around a cute or favourite mon
What is euic
europe international championships
Oh so is there a regional going on?
Yes, i think
Can it be watched live anywhere?
ttv pokemon
GL to anyone competing
Still sad I couldn't get in 😭
Am omw there to go to the pop up shop though, so if anyone is around let me know
Are you talking about the team with Gastrodon?
fezandipiti
Lol I thought so, those definitely were some long games..
whole game plan was legit
ignore fezandipiti so he cant have a coherent 2 mons on the field lmfao
https://rk9.gg/pairings/EU02whGbj7Vqpe87mRZT
Pairings for EUIC in case anyone wants em
wat do we think wins euic
"I think Wolfe Glick will win" ☝️🤓
balance wins

What would pair well with ting Lu in a tricm room team?
I just got my 0 speed ting lu and I wanna bonk some fools
caly ice
Didn’t even know Wolfe was competing
Oh shit, that’s a scary thought. Caly Ice in snow with ting Lu next to it.,.. that’s a bulky mon
Why there no fucking music
I believe he said he's only attending ICs now due to winning in Charlotte
Ah gotcha
Facts
Though I guess he could also defend Orlando
Okidogi survive huge
And using drain punch was clutch
freak pov picked no music
Fuckin weirdo
they should never let the pov be someone who chooses no music
like come on this is horrible
should also prioritize english povs
Don't worry, if I'm on stream ever, I'm picking the most monkey music everytime
haha good
That one I can see
Kit in comp chat ayo
I did not know Kitsumi checks out comp chat
Damn crit def mattered if it didn’t get 5 times
Anyone want to Bo3 Reg G?
I made this https://pokepast.es/9a3cbcc0369d40a7
Nah, watching EUIC rn
Lol those scale shots was dicing up that team
EVs?
Haven't done it
Also the team seems really pasive
not sure
Nahh this guy is so lucky
Well that was a good comeback win
I sure love Calyrex ice teams
I love it when it bulldozes through my teams and when i rage on it
lmao
So uhm, what restricted non-SV/SwSh legend is best? Cuz I will shiny hunt it.
So if you're Booster on Mane, you want Protect
Source?
Oh I saw that post but not comments on Zacian
Yea
He has trick iron ball with foul play fake out trick and, uhhh
Parting shot?
Both Wolfe and MDB are 5-0
What if they were up on stream next round
is it ic rn
I need to watch Attack IVs now fuck
It is
Cool
damn
OH I see how that works
But imagine
On stream again
Wolfe vs MDB
I think they fought in a Limitless tournament once
So you pair it with incin, and for things that have CA you can intimidate
i love mdb
Cuz you steal it with trick
Wait that’s sick
I used Trick Lagging Tail
@mighty stump
Wolfe vs MDB
The strongest sorcerer in history vs the strongest sorcerer of today 
Difference?
I don't really understand why Iron Ball unless its for TR stuff as well
ooo
Lagging Tail forces you to move last in the priority bracket
Irregardless of speed
that could work perfectly on a kyogre team
or board state
Oh ok
clear amulet
The hand of the Quash animation shoves you in the fucking earth like Tien did to Imperfect Cell with those Tri Beams
does kyogre use origin pulse
https://pokepast.es/fe46db31d1d62389 ok thoughts for a 6th?
you want to 1v1 in a bit?
Sure
Do bears shit in the woods?
its a genuine question
85% accuracy is kinda
And it's a genuine answer
Yes
Wait there's big ass boots in San Antonio?
Wtf else is in my state that idk about damn
What even is wolfeys team?
Watch a replay of a Pokémon battle between dr4ydr4go and wsnsssnnn! Format: [Gen 9] VGC 2024 Reg G; Date: Apr 5, 2024
Not sure what Wolfe running
🤷♂️
If he keeps winning he'll end up on Stream eventually
i'm going for master rank with my hisuian zoroark, and yes i made it work
Only for R7 now
After that, they'll start showing like in R8 the 6-1s and then 6-2s in R9
Anyone Bo3?
Ah y h forgot that Monke
Bruh
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2024regg-2096667099 this thing ate a foul play

Wtf
Omg I lowered its attack that’s why
Clefairy goes crazy
Wtf
Ice Punch Urshifu
Based
Biased
That is a good reason then
That was definitely an Unseen Fist heh
I'll leave now
Nooooo
Should not have parting shot it
anyone here got a groudon walking wake team that does good into caly ice trickroom?
Ooh focus energy Ogerpon
I have a Koraidon Wake team, not a groudon wake team
Huge crit
What are good ways to counter Calyrex ice?
Foul Play is one I know of
I meant ice
Shadow riders i eat for breakfast
Ice riders eat my team for breakfast
Ah then no idea, I never ran into any when I played.
Psychic/Ice

Calyrex
Chilling with stream atm then off Impidimp hunting lol 😆 want a Grimm with a good mark
I am using my sun team and i already have Chi-Yu so incineroar is off the table
Currently at EUIC, front row seat watching. Looking forward to watching Wolfe Glick's match
Assuming he gets one
Which is very likely
I think it was shown he will
Just not on stream I saw
Unless that's spoilers then sorry 😞
I wont watch the EUIC so i am fine
Haha np, some of us kinda wanna know what he's running anyway
What's wifi like at the venue @slow raft
Do you know what wolfeys running?
Liverpool was terrible, we had to go outside to find pairings
Haven't used the wifi, just my data
Ah fair
Not seen his team as of yet
I know he is 5-0 atm
I got here late because I went in the Pokemon Centre.. which I found very disappointing this year
Focus Energy Ogerpon released 
Ficus Energy 
Self Parting Shot play 
lol
Kyurem W will be at B tier in my tier list
This clefairy hitting sing again
yea its a solid mon this format. perfect abuser of alolan 9tails
specs tera Ice just makes it absurd
AV is also solid too
https://pokepast.es/d8ca5f76f1abffe0 should i remove tornadus? I am having a bad time against Calyrex ice in tr and i need a consistent way of either killing the tr setters or killing calyrex ice rider consistently
Actually wild that the tv screen with the VG side is having issues, like it's got lines going through it every now and again, but all the others are fine

Ok, not doing overall great but also
any changes I should make to this? https://pokepast.es/7d9113e1ad308020
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2024regg-2096693085-jzjoolaknzx7veq1poyz176kbjdyxropw I like this I’m a fan
Watch a replay of a Pokémon battle between JD1619 and dr4ydr4go! Format: [Gen 9] VGC 2024 Reg G; Date: Apr 5, 2024
Of Grimm+incin
With Zac. This works
Damn
That was wild
Clefairy stonks
Oh is EUIC still going?
Yes
Yh Rd6 just finishing
Game 2 wasn't looking too good for Arash, but he pulled it out quite well
Clef and a burnt Ursh. I thought he was done
Rn I feel like I’m lacking offense on the team, so I’m gonna probably replace something to change that
Lost to kyogre a couple times. Tera+Fari is fucking annoying
and also I see why you all like lando so much lol
https://pokepast.es/c7f992a5dbb706af thoughts on a 6th? Bolt just ended up feeling kinda bad
Fari is also pretty annoying
That turn 2 was sp unfortunate fo your opponent
Btw that bolt had a very bad spread
Dying immediately to an earth power is a sign of a bad spread
Your spread (and my version) survive it
Anyone got any suggestions for a Ice-rider calyrex trick room team?
You need crazy amount of investment to survive it without +1 SpD or AV
Also, I don’t have a zero speed calyrex, can it still work?
OTOT has one
Also a 0 speed calyrex isn't too necessary
You are fine without a 0 speed calyrex
Dude I fight just got fucking 5 crits
Okay cool
And I got 0
Tragic
Can you link me the team please?
Ooh Wolfe 5-1
wolfe vs flavio r7
LEt's go LORCY
I hate this damn caly man
Literally doesn’t feel beatable with constant redirection
Shadow, caly ice feels fine
No terrain control is also kind of annoying
Bleakwind Miss
jesus christ lorcy ur scarin me
Was a good Game 2
Watch a replay of a Pokémon battle between dr4ydr4go and RangeUnlimited! Format: [Gen 9] VGC 2024 Reg G; Date: Apr 5, 2024
Team good so far lol
https://pokepast.es/4d91ce206d402fa3 not sure if I like wellspring or amoonguss rn, but I like the core
mostly having both
It is the other way around if you are me
Use snarl chi yu
i at least beat shadow rider
incineroar for intimidate Pivots,and maybe ummmmmmmmmmm, some Pokemon thats is good against its typing?
It is an ice psychic type
Kingambit seems pretty good into it assuming it teras
its good, plus defiant kingambit rocks
I am using my koraidon team and it in trick room is so annoying
My team ain't better
Yeah i have flutter and chi yu but they are useless in tr
my team Terapagos and Bolt are the slowest
and they are not good in trick room if i set up wind so thats why when i see trick room team i am scared as fu
The slowest pokemon in my team is probably venusaur without sun
With sun it would be torn
So you can tell i hate that MU
oh wait my slowest is incin-
yeah i can tell,there is a reason why Terapagos is currently my most comfortable to use,Lunala Trick Room and Kyogre Scarf feels too out of my battle style
Chi yu doesn’t work on this team
And it would take over incin
Also caly ice just doesn’t like amoonguss
Cuz I make it go sleep
Ooh Wolfe 5-2 now
Washed up
what's the best tera for groudon?
Fire IMO
Definitely fire
yeah, i was thinking about fire too since the main problem rn is ogerpon
Is the next reg confirmed?
after g?
I have realized that my team is not good against Heathflame
No offense to it, 2 weak to fire
the counter for my team is myself
i always bring something outmeta just for the funnies
can you show the teams?
How do I show EVs in Pokepaste?
upload using showdown, it'll put all the details of your team
I did, it doesn't show EVs
make sure it's not (OTS) option
How do I uncheck that?
second option
any water type?
too passive?
also where are the water types-\
you dont need one…?
tera water amoong /s
good to have fwg core but its not necessary
water fire grass core-
I could give Goodra a water move
Massive double protect
nice
On stream
Literally that was his out he just won from there
Unless gouging protected
damn
Maybe I should remove Draco meteor with muddy water?
For what
H-Goodra
no not that
congrats
Yo nice
Not shiny, but got 2 Recluse Impidimp
Heavy slam?
What is the team
@tough idol I have a shiny recluse grimmsnarl if you want to use it, I never have used it
isnt the standard hoodra set idbp heavy slam and protect?
Yes
Shiny doesn't particularly bother me tbh. I just like having fun marks 
I don't know what I'm doing, give suggestions
Also this team looks really really passive
yeah too many passive mons
My only 2 requirements are Goodra and shiny
…
So that means shifu is completely off the table
not that shifu would be good here
And ogerpon
recommend starting with a hoodra rental imo
k
pretty sure there's at least one
Ursaluna over rilla
You need damage
Flame orb, 252hp 252 att 4spD brave is probably fine
0 speed on it
I doubt there’s one where he can go all shiny

I always decide on a team first and then catch the shinies, because they're super easy now. Barring shiny-locked stuff 🤷
Wolfe might be on stream R9 now
Mfer 6-2
Limiting yourself to what you have in your shiny box is really tough though.
very true
Pikalytics doesn't give Tera types
munchstats does i think
Lmk if that’s the case
Pikalytics does, but you have to click a button. It's tracking from Switch
It gives Ursaluna facade, protect, earthquake, and headlong rush
Also yea, you’re forcing yourself out of some of the best options
Hit "Reg F Switch"
Shifu, ogerpon, bolt, etc
Can someone help me build a team with Ice Rider Calyrex, Ting Lu, and gallade please?
Indeedee armarouge or Hatterene and amoonguss can finish that team
Gallade is used on psyspam and psyspam only
Aight Wolfey at 6-2 right now (probably no stream match today for him)
https://pokepast.es/0e35c40434b9f142
Anything else?
Protect over Draco on hoodra
do we really need 2 tr setter
Protect is pretty much required with lefties
could stream his win&in
r9 is always a 6-2 match
Is r9 the last round today?
yes
Cool
6 rounds tomorrow iirc
Damn
Definitely not uncommon - any amount of things can go wrong where having just one can be a huge downfall.
Also having only one makes your team a lot more linear. You have to bring that one mon to ensure your gameplan
Might as well have 2
I definitely like utilizing either Indeedee or Farigiraf as a TR setter a lot more because they bring a lot more than just TR to the table
i see
So Cresselia and Porygon2 are interchangeable depending on the other team?
Yeah, or you can take two into a match if it makes sense, to extend TR if they're capable of stalling, or have different threats. Like Ursaluna functions a lot better next to Cress than P2 - P2 is serviceable but lacks distinct synergy there.
Different coverage options, different bulk, etc.
It's really match dependent for sure
I'll probably figure it out.. eventually..
I just think being able to stop priority with Indeedee/Farig is valuable in the meta, personally.
Yea
And yeah, you'll figure it out. Building teams isn't just slam six pokemon down, they perform, and you're off to the races. Trial and error is a big thing
It makes kyogre very annoying to handle
offers more tools too
Yeah they pack a lot of support on their kits.
Farigiraf more offensive but very good
Fari stonks
I would like to have a more long term team seeing as I'm shiny hunting them...
Teams change all the time
Regardless of anything, this team has an expiration date of May 1st
Once Reg G kicks in, you're going to be at a disadvantage into Restricted mons.
Tsareena is coming back wujuu
no team is permanent
Teams do change all the time - shiny hunting is super easy now. Part of the fun is gathering the things and training them up, to some.
Guess I just have to get the living dex 
I have a shiny Zac I’m very excited to go use in ladder
Cuz I’m finally getting it to function well
I went back to my roots with swords dance
I have a Shiny Zygarde but it's not programmed 🙂
Like if I have a shiny Kingambit built, and I want a different Kingambit set, I go hunt a new shiny and train that instead of undoing my resources spent on Kingambit #1. I've done this since Reg A
im excited and at the same time not for reg g
Drago's seen part of my Competitive boxes.
At least I'll be able to shiny hunt the Brilliant Diamond legendaries soon
I added Flutter #6 to the special boxes, Drago.
Lmao
I gotta filter out things that have fallen out of favor. I transferred a whole box of shiny legends from Sword last week 
Hunting a Ursaluna Bloodmoon 0 iv attack and 0 iv speed
Yeah but I still like him into Caly-S for the most part.
I hope they add lazy training
What?
Train your pokemon to be lazy in a stat
Ohhhhh. Uhhh technically you can
Wtf does that mean
The opposite of hyper training
I think he means like driving down IVs
So rusty bottle caps
We do need "rusty" bottle caps.
Realistically they'd only ever get used on Attack and Speed though.
Ehhhh 0 Speed isn't always necessary.
I have a 4 speed BM Ursa and that's just fine 🤷
Sometimes it is tho
Yeah that's why I said "isn't always"
Yea
Sometimes it matters because people are being really specific about their speed values
And then you can like undercreep them lol
A lot of people just often think that their entire 6 absolutely requires 0 Speed IVs and it's a migraine waiting to happen
Yea true
For some it's optimal, for others maybe not, I guess 
Pleaseeee
I just find the idea of training a pokemon to be "worse" is inherently funny
Or even just reworking the bottle caps to let you adjust the ivs as you want
I mean it's not worse. It's better because it acts faster in TR, which is the main objective of the team.
That's optimal. It's a choice of words 😄
Pokémon like Tornadus run 20 ivs in speed sometimes
Why
I mean it in terms like "who trains to be slower"
Just give us a battle revolution simulator because training a team and playing VGC are inherently separate skill sets.
And I dunno about the 20 speed IVs with max speed opposing Torn and Whimiscott existing
Idk, some Tornadus just run it
Yeah in game it's better but you're making the stat worse
Lower speed value just means you always eat the taunt.
Yep
If people are running it, I can't imagine it's optimal. Take what others run with a grain of salt.
That's perspective. You're just hard-wired to think "big number good small number bad"
You train to make the IVs better, what would it be called if you made the IVs worse? Hyperlazing?
Sure, i run my Tornadus with 31 and a lot of invest in speed, just that some people were running Tornadus like that
It seems small but a name conflict or confusion can actually be deal breakers for features if they can't be resolved.
I mean the truth is if that some people were running it like that, those some people were running bad sets, and you should ignore them
Even the 0 speed investment Torns that I've run were 31 speed.
Incin =/= Torn.
There's reasons to stagger Incin's speed
it was to hit a certain speed tier
Yeah but i was talking about the need of a rusty cap or something like that, not saying that Torn 20 speed ivs is optimal
Slow parting shot is really good
But being faster with fo is also valuable
Pick your poison 
With rusty bottle caps they could also add a new title, "[Pokemon] the once lazy"
so many incin sets you can run lmao
It’s a very good and flexible Mon
truly the jack of all trades
Any intimidate pokemon who can be good in reg G?
Incin
incin lmao
Obviously Inci but any other one?
i guess there's hitmontop too
Because i feel like Inci can just outclass any other Intimidate user in reg G
I'm messing about trying work with Scrafty for fun

No

It's not about the Sitrus
AAhhhaaaaaa calc screwed up
What?
Calc for having Weezing out lol 😆
Calc shows Sitrus recovery against Caly-I
Oh wtf
It's still a 2HKO anyways
^
I thought MY calc was wrong
to whoever wanted wolfe on stream
Not the calculator being weird lol
there he is ! !
Wolfe win and in on stream
Oh hype
Just wanna see what team he brought lul
He brought incin
Whole point is
Me get spore
Has he?
He’s won an international?
Yh think he's only person who's done all 3
That’s insane
Beat up?
Wolfe has double genie rapid strike
I’m assuming it’s rapid
Yep
SASH TORN?
bleakwind go brr
Ah yes, “I get walled by gholdengo” fluttermane
terracott what
Moogus clutch lol 😆
Who’s winning
Wolfe atm
Are there any promising looking Regulation G mons that aren't shiny locked?
@gentle delta I took your meteor beam armorouge team and replaced armorouge with lunala with moongeist beam instead of armor cannon and went straight to top 300 love this team lmao
Rain torn shifu with lando i
No bridge boy?
Deadass no bridge boy wtf
His opponent has getting walled by gholdengo flutter syndrome lmao
icy wind moonblast dazzling flutter
BEAT UP TERRAKION?!
Wow it's actually fucked how good it is in here rn
If both teams have a trick room would it just become a mind game of either gambling on your opponent setting it up for you, neither of you set it up, or you both try to set it up and it cancels out?
Shiny Kartana today ✨️
very nice
sad

Terrakion:Gets Beat up
Also Terrakion:Lemme cook
✈️

ggs
This is all flying over my head
EUIC tournament. If you wait a bit someone will timestamp the video to skip straight to games.
1 speed point lul
blizzard spam is so good
Yeah the ICs have really big payouts for sure
You'd hope, with how much of a cash cow these events are 
Other than Worlds 2023, I don't think he hasn't day 2'd in a single event he's gone to though so
The Gastro/Fezandipiti team made Day 2 also
I just wonder what his thoughts were making that team
Like I know you're only going to ICs due to having invite now
But that team is plain Jane for sure
What
Flavios team. Beat Wolfe in Swisd
Flavio is running Fezandipiti?
I mean he did take Baxcalibur and Heatran into finals of Liverpool so
So
How many snow teams though
I was just saying snarl Chi-Yu is a really good answer, but fair point
I got snarl incin 
@bold geode had to find it again lol
most likely better, also what a funky team that guy has
Helping hand incin too wtf

Palkia still only having hydro pump for viable water move is sad
Oof
I mean it to the fezandipity guy not you torrent
sad moment,surf does not work-
ik.
Gastrodon being the west variant is very important
Is the reg g meta still too new to have a stable idea of the main archetypes?
Calys, Groudon, Kyogre seem to be all over the place
not too early but not that early
I've seen koraidon a lot but that could just be a lot of people trying the new guy
I wanted to try kyurem black but having to pick between clear amulet and loaded dice is annoying
Oh we full delulu then
That's heavy slam heatran too
Why
Storm Drain?
Because it looks nicer
Bruh
I've also seen Shuca berry Incin twice now in EUIC
Wild
I fought tera dragon groudon and dragon cheer moon the other day which was pretty funny
Especially funny since they tried to set up in front of snow kyurem
Some dude thought he could beat me with ting Lu wo chien gastrodon and ho-oh today, then I read his switch into gastro and he forfeit 
Apparently not so good
I completely forgot about it until I saw it again in the showdown suggestions
I’ve only beaten them so idk
It's like pretty bulky
It spams cosmic power but snarling it or just giving it damage reduction makes it a dead spot
“All my friends are dead” syndrome lol
They really gave it no setup past cosmic power
I know Tofu said it could be used for like
Stall
But that's probably about it
Anybody wanna be a g and help me get a Raging Bolt? All the ones on the Home GTS are hacked beyond belief

That's something for sure
But trade channels your best bet
We don't do trading here
Also
got it ty
I think Jeudy went out too
But funnily enough
Did Eric Rios not go to EUIC?
Jeudy got 7-2
Yeah
EUIC was stacked
That’s so many notable names too
Ah
Did Eric Rios participate?
87 7-2 into Day 2
Nicholas Donnely also got knocked out

Eric 6-3
As I said
Looking at the brackets
It was stacked
He probably gonna tweet out about how he got robbed again
If I go to NAIC I’m gonna get steamrolled lmao
All I can do is believe in sword dog when the time comes
Or get enough crits and dodges
Someone in my UK players Discord lol
It's just how pokemon works
Mm
Seems like you were saying I suck and need to rely on rng
Also as we know, RNGsus hates me
No you're saying you suck
OH DAYUM Shohei was there too?

Anyone can rely on rng
Yh went 3-3 and dropped
I rely on my playmaking and skill lol
Probably didn't wanna have to fully rely on the wack ass Japan circuit to get an invite
And I’m not a bad player I just think very illogically when I get upset
I think illogically often
But 3-3
Bro didn't even go for points sadge
I don't have to be upset
You're illogical
Indianapolis 1st Reg G I think
Oh it did send
I wonder what the top players are cooking up for reg g
I want that as a emoji
No more UK regionals left. Stockholm and Bologna left I believe
Drago don't send that again lmao
Nah fuck you
They playing on lunch meat wtf
Yeah it looks sus LMFAO
This is me when mentioning Palafin balance name
NAIC in June after these
Why is gallade used only on psyspam and nothing else?
Think I'll be going on vacay to Grand Canyon around when NAIC is happening
There’s just better options
Should’ve kept the gif lol
So instead if I just want ice rider Caly and ting lu on a team, what should I use to complete that core? I’m thinking Incin for sure
But I suck at team building
Farigiraf
still best
Amoonguss
Shush dont spoil my next video
Ice Caly, Ting Lu, Farig, Incin, Amoonguss, and Alolan Ninetales?
Solid
If you wanna be spicy go scarf ninetails instead of light clay
Turn 1 Aurora Veil + TR, turn 2 switch to shroom or ting
Ohh scarf is interesting. I was thinking covert cloak honestly. Getting faked out on turn 1 when trying to set veil is rough
You are wrong
why
Why not capitalize on the bulkiness?
What’s the point
That way they have to choose between focusing on Calyrex or trying to stop me from setting up snow/veil
You already do that with incin support
I’m killing the fox everytime
Thats why scarf
Then that’s a free trick room or glacial lance 🙂
I see what you mean
I ain’t even gonna dive into this
Good because im not in the mood to explain why you’re wrong tbh
So what Tera ghost scarf
Saaaame
I wanna hear both sides of this argument low key
Just so I can understand it better and hear both valid points
👍 I gotchu.
this is a childish argument lol
Nah im not even arguing thats the thing
🙄
I’ve already tested ninetails + calyrex it’s incredible. Im not gonna argue my case with someone whos proven to me time and time again in the past they dont know what they’re talking about
Its like talking to a brick wall so idgaf
Kinda rude tbh but I'm not diving into this either
Don't be rude
Alright fellow gamers let’s just keep on gaming. Sorry for starting stuff, I’ve just seen great ideas from both of you and was curious to see Both sides’ thoughts.
what happen-
You’re fine
i just spawned in and what the heck is going on
And now that I've stated that, I'm leaving before I get fuckin muted or banned for shit
Good bye
the greatest vgc minds are holding a civilized convo
Lul
this is actually funny-
Nah I deleted my long message that was indeed rude
Just didn’t care for Dragos kneejerk “you’re both wrong” response
Competitive getting spicy today bois and girls
Fr
thoughts on specs rotom wash?
Imo it is outdated
It can shine from time to time but the washing machine will go out of power for restricted formats
For legendary formats it is hardly viable
its carrying me rn though lol
idk what im doing but somehow i havent lost a game with it, its paired with chi yu
What Reg?
G
Honestly the performamce in Reg G is probably not going to be that good
wouldnt flutter just be better there?
How did I forget Moogus got Foul Play lol
why didnt i think?
flutter does look much better
0- Atk Amoonguss Foul Play vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Calyrex-Shadow Rider: 116-140 (66.2 - 80%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
i also dont think thats worth it
0- Atk Amoonguss Foul Play vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Calyrex-Ice Rider: 102-120 (49.2 - 57.9%) -- 95.3% chance to 2HKO
i like those odds
its probably gonna tera fire infront of chi yu, and shifu, and lunala
and you do plenty to it clicking spore
in my defence im not one to think that far ahead of things
its ok youre learning
if they all magically start running grass tera or goggles lol
then sure i can see it
but they dont, and you can also run like, sludge bomb
ok so im replacing rotom wash with flutter, but what set?
sludge bomb works in what sutuation?
i dont think its gonna do anything to caly-ice
its not for caly ice
oh then for what
oh ok
if you want healing pollen puff is always reliable
is the bulk on chi yu general?
and do you outspeed all caly s (that arent scarf)?
whats the reason for taunt on hearthflame?
also i think you just have to pick between protect and wide guard
I think people are making a mistake with tera fire tbh
I wouldn’t wanna pick up a ground weakness rn
i just copied pikalytics
mk, do you know what speed it hits?
210
yeah i give up trying to get miraidon to work (im also just too bad)
bro its miraidon how is this possible
what? miradion is pretty good whats the issue with it?
just slap it on any team and itll still cook
Ive been on water and most of the people I know mad testing caly have settled on water
Miraidon is training wheels levels of good lol
ehhhh idk about that caly s is kinda just the slap on restricted rn, if there is one lol
you have to deal with rilla and indeedee also shutting off the terrain
i wish
I have the wildest thing im testing against Caly-S and its been fun af
Snarl speed proto specs Walking Wake
i messed with wake as a groudon counter for a minute since therye all tera fire rn
Did you know Specs Overheat from Miraidon OHKOs Groudon
After it was mid in F
Lmao it's brilliant
what
Excuse me
Yeah cause Sun boosts the Overheat
miraidon moment lmao
So like
GUESS IM BRINGING MIRAIDON TO WORLDS BOYS
lol
If you really are desperste to remove Groudon with Miraidon
Overheat + Specs
I’m mentioning this in my blog lmao
Say hello to my lil friend overheat lmao
Just, don’t miss
You humans are using Miraidon?
Overheat specs in sun OHKO'ing Groudon is a small surprise
Im a turtle believer tbh
The turtle can be a monster in the right hands
TurtleTurtleTurtleTurtle
Does anyone know if self Parting Shot triggers Contrary?
it do
One of my subs sent me a team asking if Id feature it, tr screens terapagos
TY @mighty stump
ictlegion has given 1 Gen Rep to woodtofu
Only if opponents parting shot
i have a double FO team with it rn
Oh nvm
Contrary is non-discriminatory yeah
Im dumb thinking defiant
Not like Defiant
Yeah caught it myself lma
Good ol Eerie Impulse Enam
Shame we never had a Reg D GC
messing with this
Just thought about it after seeing it on stream for a pivot.
