we saw that vvid
good stuff
we got the bike
love ball bike
mhm
how we doin
nice

Eternatus was forgotten too fast
It’s pretty good
High hp, good offensive and defensive typing, and a deep movepool
Why don’t ppl use it more
Poison/Dragon
Pressure
140/85/95/145/95/130
690
Eternatus-Eternamax
Ehhh it's best set is cosmic power
Good for a BO1 thing but no for BO3
And try to run a staller Eternatus in a tournament where you have to play atleast 7 rounds
Your head just can't
Just an offensive one?
stall eternatus sucks
https://pokepast.es/24da2e484cf40ae6 what shoud i change (singles) ubers
But any sugestions?
how can i make suggestions of a format/meta i have no idea on?
I wanted to add fire ogerpon but idk where he can fit
Idk mb😰
no ur good
i jus mean like, it wouldnt be helpful
u try smogon server?
thats much more singles based
not unless they ping u
I am mobile
idt that matters?
does mobile mean u cant get pinged ive never heard that
search up smogon on public servers
Kk ty
ewww smogon
showdown is cringe

Y
hes kidding
https://pokepast.es/9aca11c01286c7dd thoughts on a 6th?
Speed control?
what kind
Probably not tr
Or is he 

It sounds pretty versatile for dealing with defensive teras
But that also means you can't use one yourself
it is but i don't really seen someone used it
Actually I think I'd use farigiraf
Not just for tr control but because the team looks kinda vulnerable to fake out spam but maybe it's just me
Like rilla to incin switching
I think I need to get a terapagos plush
same
I need to know when pokemon centre is launching in Australia
idk when in UK?
idk
i have to change my Terapagos just for the one Tera raid(Moves)
yes
also what redirection is really an option
clef doesnt really do too much and amoonguss stacks too many weaknesses
Magmar 😎
3 fire types tofu?
Electabuzz 😎

Furret 😎
Pachirisu
Normal
Run Away, Keen Eye, Frisk (Hidden)
85/76/64/45/55/90
415
in all seriousness im not running pachirisu or furret
i mean Pachirisu is fine against Mirai
At minimum you should already cover the Big 4
terapagos yes, mirai yea, korai yes, zama, uhhhhh
yea wait that was the point of sd hearth
Caly Ice*
yea, incin
uhm, caly s can be handled with shifu
and incin, and rilla
rain is fine
rilla shifu can handle that one
uhm, yea idk
And what about just running Follow me on Ogerpon and a Gholdengo to help on the Zama MU
...
I guess I covered Zamazenta and Miraidon
Caly Ice idk
gm tofu
I’ll just add torn or smth
Steel/Psychic
Levitate, Heatproof, Heavy Metal (Hidden)

Would be wild
I think this upcoming world championship will be the most important world championship of scarlet and violet
Magerna Flash backs
guys
?
how can I make a viable team with a galarian slowbro
I dont care if its just a trickroom team or gimmicky, I just really wanna mess around with it
its gotta be tr
which pokemon would u recommend me?
Im thinking farigiraf, blood moon, incineroar, amoonguss and sm else
It could work,i think Calyrex Ice Rider is a good restricted for this team
oh...
nor shadow rider, Ion have the dlc on swsh
IKKKKK
I mean I would think a spectrier would kinda work
yeah, that too
Lunala can be a Tailwind and trick room mon
so it works for it
yeah good point
so how about lunala for tr and tailwind, as well as farigiraf
how about the lunala's tera tho?
then what moveset on the damn giraffe>
Trick Room,Psychic,Dazzling Gleam and either Protect or Helping Hand
That on which one?
the farigiraf?
ohhh ye I've seen it around a bit
bet
against Miraidon?
lmao RIP
lemme catch the giraffe and train it :''u
into the para too like im crying
yea against a miraidon
like, i was fine if i didn't get para'd
what IVs on the fari
all 31 except attack ideally
bet
Farigiraf @ Safety Goggles
Ability: Armor Tail
Level: 50
Tera Type: Fire
EVs: 220 HP / 220 Def / 12 SpA / 52 SpD / 4 Spe
Modest Nature

Probopass lol
ogerpon go brr
yep that dawn wings is basically the dawn wings someone used
Dawn wings confirmed fraud
surpisingly no TR
no its just this is not it
you can just TR Safely with it-
idk why it did not TR
Why did they go for meteor beam instead of tr
idfk
i usually just TR
Follow Me TR yeah
Yeah that's the obvious play
sigh...
Again people ruined how to play Dawn Wings
thats why i made my dawn Wings Team a Soft TR Team
Hello again comp chat

hoi Monke
Hey
I actually got shit done now lmao
what shit
Blog
ah nice
Just waiting on confirmation for something
cool
Once I get confirmation, all I gotta do is click post and then promote
cool
So now I don't feel bad for procrastinating lmao
Now I can focus on other shit
Like using CSR on a team that Tofu said doesn't look like a CSR team lmao
i love crits
lol
Me AF (Zamazenta no likey)
TF.
LORB hands i get it but TR FLUTTER????
not much of a thing but its a thing
Me when i saw TR Flutter:

2 v 2???
and I would like some feedback on that too
show
could I show the rental?
TTYHJG
Idk how to do that
Im pretty new to competitive
new as an I just started to gather some knowledge here and there and buid a decent enough team
i need the screenshot pls
Im not really sure on the zekrom tho
Damn it if Lyco is here he can help you-
ummmm
I was also thinking on changing the tera of the Sinistcha onto water or fire
Water is probably better
uhhh screen shot would be better
IDK HOW TO SS AND PASS IT TO MY COMPUTER IM SO SORRY
oh.
Imma ss it onto my switch and to my ohine
Type it out then I guess idk
then maybe write it down
phone
just type it down
Yeah do that
ok
Or yeah
Idfk
Im so sorry
U good
mhm
I just see two people saying do this and they're both different lmao
now you see my hatred on stall teams
funnnn
I want to do Ho Oh lmao

its a start honestly
tell me about it,i hate stall so badly
At least i can beat Lugia stall teams tho
and covert cloak miraidon was on that team
Futta mane tera fairy choice specs
D gleam, Moonblast, Shadow ball, Thunder
Ogerpon hearthflame
ivy cudgel, play rough, double kick, spiky shield
Sinistcha tera flying (wanna changet it to water) big root and hospitality
Matcha gotcha, shadow ball, energy ball, protect
Whimsicott tera grass focus sash prankster
tailwind, helping hand, protect, moonblast
Kingambit tera steel (going to change to dark) Muscle band defiant
Iron head, kowtow kleave, swords dance, protect
Zekrom tera dragon Sitrus berry
Thunderbolt, Fusion bolt, Shadow claw, protect
here it is
ok theres a lot of wrong here
KJSHDKJAHFKJHASKJD
So gimme a sec
for Zekrom, Bolt Strike,Dragon Claw,Protect and Dragon Dance
lemme do the paste for ya
AYO
@rustic mountain WE TOOK GAME ONE
https://pokepast.es/c2f753b6c55755f9
Here's what you got rn with the changes you wanted
Damn it Monke lol
Probably both the same lol
mine is kinda different to its set
Oh you fixed the sets lmao
I just did 1:1
yeah usually if i help someone i just fix their sets
Also Zekrom should have Fusion Bolt and Breaking Swipe tbh
i think the team on paper is fine,its just the moveset
could be great options
u @ me as if i dont watch most of these games


so instead of dragon claw and bolt strike those two?
you can try B-Strike and D-Claw or F-Bolt and B-Swipe
depends on your personal choice
i mean if you care about not landing the attacks,then yes
if you don't give a shit about missing then B strike and D-Claw
I hate missing attacks
LEMME HAVE MY MOMENTS LMAO
lots of love for you big guy
it was a good game
ey,Monke did also suggest the safe option for Zekrom
so yeah he helped as well
alr, i like the team rn
monke aint do shit
THANK YOU BOTH
like, feels good into, normal things
he did suggest Fusion Bolt and Breaking Swipe instead of more riskier approach of Bolt Strike and D-Claw
i do think no redirection is really annoying cuz wisp is kind of a problem
me reminding torrent im joking: 
told ya i can't take jokes
mostly from incin
i mean tbf,your Ogerpon is for Killing Zama so its fair if you don't have Ogerpon for Redirection
its a start,i think you can get in the hang of it
meanwhile me,idk i kinda just stick with Chi Yu Cresselia Tornadus core with Amoonguss support
to practice specific mu's
like i'd like to practice, everything but mostly into like, koraidon terapagos and miraidon
i think i am good enough to use my new team for it
although i am considering not doing glide on hearth, kinda like wood hammer for big grass damage
if you want to ask for Terapagos MU,i'm always here
shit i gotta get a new torn lol
although i am iffy on it
it has rain dance which im not really too fond of
and bleakwind is a move that hates me
that and i'd like redirection
cuz wisp is ticking me off
nvm i fixed it, taunt incin, ez
oh yeah you traded one for me lol
I asked AI for a VGC team an it gave me psyspam 😭
tell me the sauce

i got a giratina team and i do not approve it
Playing emerald rogue and got shiny Dracovish on my first route
I’ll send you vid in DMs
kk
i wanted to play that so bad but i couldn;t
cuz i wasn't sure how to install it
also not the dracovish lol
Bet that should get you going
AV groudon ain’t clicking like I thought it would 
People simply just, work their way around it
Lol
Groudon is washed
How much speed EVs do people usually put into Whimsicott
probably just enough to outspeed 252 timid torn?
Ugh, y'all, is battle bond greninja banned in SV ranked battles???? If so, why??????
Battle bond greninja never allowed on any ranked battle to begin with so yeah
Ughhhh that's so annoying, thanks for telling me
its an event mon and not everyone has access to it

I got a crit on the following turn anyway so that's fair
Neither of them mattered I believe

But the double power part did
im playing emerald rogue and started with a modest eevee and a dracovish

It doesn’t get dragon claw, damn
also very shallow moveset
its physical movepool is good
yeah i guess so
I miss dracovish, it would've been good in this meta I think
i mean idk
I miss galarian darmanitan too
it could be, but I'm not confdent considering the caly's and Miraidon go crazy. Also it would hate Ogerpon-Wellspring considering they can't fishous rend it

what item is ur hawlucha?
because people usually run focus sash sd
and get 300 bp reversals
White herb cc
Also that's the hitmonlee set, not the lucha
- acrobatics
lucha can run that too?
Hitmonlee usually does this but I havent seen any lucha tech like this

you should play my ou team then
This was an UU match but sure if you want to?
singles right?
Yea
Fair enough too lol
Are you Tera Steel tho?
Otherwise it's not worth it
STAB 110 > non-STAB supereffective 80
i think im tera fighting for the higher damage on reversal
im prob gonna swap out iron head for upper hand
idk up2 u
Sure
Username is STired3
i just got an amoonguss in doubles emerald rogue, hehehe
sent
amogus
gg's
Damn
Mhm
Anyone have good supports for a Rayquaza team?
Trick room teams aren’t ready for me to use whirlwind volcarona with rilla to prevent Trick room unless they are then well I’m cooked
Probably chien-pao for damage increase, Incin is always nice, Urshifu-R helps with steel types and rock types and either amoongus or rillaboom for a fwg core
Do I use Urshifu-R with an offensive set or do I use something else
i think dark ursh better tbh, unless u have other ways of denying farig
Offensive
cause u really do want farig dead
Yeah I mean farigiraf does not like Incineroar
true, or maybe crunch pao
And doesn’t want to eat a surging strikes
but can do so comfortably
I’d argue lash out is better, deals with drops
Power doubles if the user had a stat stage lowered this turn.

Yes however it can’t just switch in for free is what I mean
what if gothatelle 
U-turn
Who uses Goth in reg G?
So with an offensive Urshifu-R, what else would be good in a Rayquaza team, would glimmora?
I have a suicide glimmora that's for spikes and memento if I need it
i doubt ull need that
What general scope of Pokemon would go well with Ray Ray
.
He just said it 🤦
This is all you're getting from me
https://pokepast.es/769502e7145e7ff8
I have a decent Rayquaza team,you can try it out
Chien Pao is still always No.1 Partner for it
also like Isn't Chien pao can also Deal with Amoonguss and Rillaboom While also deal with Steel And Rock Types as well?
yes
Having to rebuild ogerpons every time I change is the bane of my existence 😔
Rayquaza can also deal with the grass types thanks to Dragon Ascent
yep
Also thank you all for your help, even tho I did ask the same question like 3 times lol
Then get several ogerpons, thats what i did
How do I get multiple
i don't i always just stick with one ogerpon and use the same stats
Safe files or Trading
Do those stats work with ogerpon-h
I have a Hearthflame and Wellspring, i am planning to get a 3rd one for Cornerstone and ignore teal mask ogerpon
Ogerpon-Hearthflame (F) @ Hearthflame Mask
Level: 50
Ability: Mold Breaker
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe

Jolly Nature
- Ivy Cudgel
- Wood Hammer
- Follow Me
- Spiky Shield
Generally use these
np
Also just for a reference, what pokeball matches entei the best? I gotta go catch an entei
i honestly don't know
Fair enough
Repeat Ball?
Maybe
It's fast ball or repeat ball
Now to get my sleep team ready so I can do this correctly
usually i don't care that much but yeah those maybe and what sleep team-
It's what I call my Pokemon catching team
oh
Basically lunala and a op physical attacker with false swipe
And other things to stall out time
ok cool
what are we cooking-?
cooking Terapagos Team for me
ah
currently doing well with Chi Yu+Cresselia on Terapagos

W team
?
Wdym
https://pokepast.es/7839aef0d018e29e
I just Used Chi Yu Cresselia Terapagos Core
3 legends 
Sure but they are effective
It could be worse, it could be 6
but its effective
I kinda don't really think Urshifu is a Legendary
More like an Overpowered Pokemon
I like to think ogerpon is just a cutie that may or may not nuke a civilization if left alone for too long
Both DLC Legendaries (Ogerpon and Terapagos) are better in Story compare to Urshifu and Calyrex
at least Ogerpon and Terapagos are kinda Linked
True
Poison
Bug, Dragon, Fairy, Flying, Grass, Ice, Normal, Psychic, Rock, Steel
Dark, Electric, Ghost, Stellar, Water
Fighting, Fire, Ground
Steel-types cannot be Poisoned.
Steel-types take no damage from Sandstorm.
But calyrex absolutely dominated competitive during SS along with Zacian-C
Urshifu dominated competitive during SV for a while
I think considering their track record, ogerpon is a op regular Pokemon, terapagos just got legal so i cant really say much with terapagos
the big 4 rn is Calyrex Ice rider,Miraidon,Terapagos and Zamazenta
Bro showdown is just boring imo
https://pokepast.es/1b6735bc8deb3e4e ok so how is this core
im really tryna take my time and consideration with this groudon team
very interesting core indeed
womp womp
but i would use Booster for Support Flutter but then again you have Groudon
Incin looks like a good Option,Ogerpon Cornerstone also works
it is a sun team
Oh yeah I forgor
speed booster comes with speed
im not big on incin, but cornerstone interests me
I saw some Taunt Ogerpon Cornerstone teams and they look decent
also you have a Grass cover for Kyogre as well
bolt it on my thnking list, ive decided bolt idnt it for this tean already
How do I see usage rates on sv not showdown
a water type definitely would help
Palafi
wake is the only Mon that can use on Sun and Rain

Dude its not Reg C
Why did paladin fall off
activation is troublesome and power creep
Urshifu exists.
mainly shifu yeah
Yeah but hero fin is a restricted in terms of stets
u mean in singles
i guess wake can work as well with your team,its good on Sun and Rain
this is vgc, where u can double attack the palafin slot
so if its Rain,Wake can still work
Or just protect and make ur opps turn useless
Ahem Unseen Fist hello
also isn't most Palafin run Choice Band-
@timber falcon Btw Wake would be my pick for your team
intimidate also stops water type moves
already in testing rn
cool
also isn't Ogerpon Wellspring can beat Palafin no problem-
if you want a Water Type in this Reg thats not Kyogre and Palkia
Just use Urshifu Rapid,Ogerpon Wellspring,Iron Bundle(Although a Bit Mid but still better than Palafin) and Walking Wake
Heck i even see someone use Gastrodon
tbh for water types unless your running sun you should nearly always go for either Urshifu-r or Ogerpon-w. In sun walking wake is best but gastro has a niche aswell
cool i mean
gotta check on MUs,Wake is more for an emergency if you are in Rain
i am wondering weather i go for cornerstone or just rilla tbh
Urshifu:Hits through Protect and Oppressive
Ogerpon:Redirector and offense
Gastro:Support and tank
Iron Bundle:Support(Mostly
cause i do like the passive healing and terrain control + it also gets taunt
and Fo pressure
i mean does Grassy Terrain Nerfs Precipice Blades?
i dont think so
For 5 turns, the terrain becomes Grassy Terrain. During the effect, the power of Grass-type attacks used by grounded Pokemon is multiplied by 1.3, the power of Bulldoze, Earthquake, and Magnitude used against grounded Pokemon is multiplied by 0.5, and grounded Pokemon have 1/16 of their maximum HP, rounded down, restored at the end of each turn, including the last turn. Camouflage transforms the user into a Grass type, Nature Power becomes Energy Ball, and Secret Power has a 30% chance to cause sleep. Fails if the current terrain is Grassy Terrain.

oh nvm
yeah it doesnt affect it
maybe Rillaboom if you want
Yep, just for team construction it’s far easier and more justifiable to put in Urshifu or Ogerpon and you use the other for select niches
i would say you team could be
Groudon
Flutter Mane
Tornadus
Entei
Ogerpon Cornerstone/Rillaboom
Walking Wake/Raging Bolt
mhm
Also don’t use bundle, it’s not it even if encore spam is frustrating
i fought one and thanks to that move,My Terapagos is in +4
morrispxg456 has given 1 Gen Rep to crephace
lmao
damn it Rotom


Happened to me aswell but when your locked in calm mind the entire game including being forced to struggle it’s not so nice
idk why people just dont, swap in a strong physical attacker lol
They killed all my other mons so I couldn’t kill it so they stalled me for too many turns
All my other mons were dead
i just rain down Hell to his Miraidon team
I didn’t do it on purpose, I was outplayed and then they stalled me to give me depression
I technically could have won if they didn’t stall all my power points they couldn’t kill me, I had to kill me

accuracy increase
The accuracy of attacks by the holder is 1.1x.
usually the held item mostly for reshiram players in Reg G
someone talk me out of playing a support tropius
wide guard, tailwind, helping hand, (insert attack)
Don’t play tropics it’s inoptimal, if you want a good grass type amoongus, rillaboom and Ogerpon are better as supportive mons. If you want tailwind and wide guard use Pelipper.
don't play Royal Pear lol
Unless your just playing for fun rather than to win then play what you want
thank you this is what I needed
twiggs has given 1 Gen Rep to crephace
More free rep wooooooo
lel

You gave me some free rep aswell
Hits three times. Power increases to 40 for the second hit and 60 for the third. This move checks accuracy for each hit, and the attack ends if the target avoids a hit. If one of the hits breaks the target's substitute, it will take damage for the remaining hits. If the user has the Skill Link Ability, this move will always hit three times.

i love triple Axel Meowscarada in Reg F :>
@molten oasis
Cringiest tour name i have ever seen 💀
Zacian momenr we lllove to see it
But No Terapagos damn
What do umbreon generally run?
Moonlight,Foul Play,Protect and something else
Cool
I would have checked but I’m currently making dinner so can’t go in munchstats

hmmmmmmmm
Interesting, so seems to be countering the Calyrex forms
As the primary focus
Might have to test it I haven’t tried it out yet
hmmmmm
Sleep Talk Choice Band Komala. Thoughts?
Why would you ever choose komala?
You really think Id walk in here with that set and be serious? 
Knowing you, yes
But you dont know me 
Fair point
With how silly this chat often is yes, I expect that would be something asked seriously
lol
Its a funny meme set. I read about it somewhehre, I just dont know where
I mean specs terapagos often run sleep talk
So a choiced locked mon with sleep talk isn’t a new concept
Which is why choice sleep talk is superior on Komala
Basic is the set i normally use on Zekrom
I have been theorizing that Ape and Zekrom might be a good duo
I chose the most reasonable option
I’m just sad there is no specs option
How will you deal with follow me, rage powder or them simply switching out for something else to take the final gambit?
Well bye bye to their support
Then you lost of ape and zamazenta is still alive
Or i can use Ape later in the match to kill Zama before Zama spirals out of control
Zekrom still gets walled out by zamazenta
So does nearly every physical attacker
Koraidon sees it as free food
I mean you can try it but I’m not sure it’s going to be a consistent strat for you
I have been experimenting which mon is great with Zekrom
And Ape seems promising despite the weakness to fairy
And Obviously Amoonguss and Incineroar
Ok just have fun when tailwind makes your annihilape slower and vulnerable meaning you die and don’t kill your opponent with final gambit
Torn and Jugulis are weak to Zekrom
And i can always get Tailwind on my team
Whim does look scary
Still get tailwind up, by the point torn gets tailwind up your forced to take crazy damage which is no fun
But i have incin for a reason
I mean good luck, cause your likely going to need it
'
Wondering what bolt set I should run
I want protect but want calm mind but want tbolt to hit kyogre through prio control
Just know you'll have csr
In doubles it's much harder to monotype I think
yeah
i am trying to make a singles team
VGC i think
So BSS?
my bad SV
so where you have 6 and you bring 3 mons?
idk i forgot
none of us really play singles tbh
also Mono Ghost is hard to buiild
thats fair I wanted to make this team to face some friends and use in a more casual competitive. I figured mono ghost wouldnt be that good.
its good but hard to build
la regionals this weekend! bout to go 1-x 
consider Normal Mono is kinda good as well and Ursaluna Bloodmoon can hit Ghost Types
but for me,idk mono which one is better
thats true. so far I have chandalure, and a dragapult
Woooooooo
but I wanted to try lunala, basculegion, spiritomb, Shadow rider calyrex
Zoroark Hisuian 👀
ooh true forgot that I could get that in SV
Nice
Stay in a good mood and you can get great results
I could also use a mimikyu
also Flutter Mane?
Caly shadow is probably a top choice
i could make you a team of that
that would probably help because I am new to competitive team building
Whats 92 speed bolt for exactly?
That setup calyrex when dark types
You do not want protect for singles
Id even give it tera blast
i still have Doubles Moment
i used AV
Yeah it could be scarf
Especially for 3v3 too
You won't have to worry about its longevity with wave crash as much so you can just spam it
thats true I have the scarf rn
Also you're like really dead to kingambit
Pretty sure that guys pretty solid in singles right?
It’s way stronger against single targets
It's only 15 points stronger
When a move hits two targets the damage is reduced to 75%
huge difference
Running another move Is an even bigger difference
dude i rather run Moonblast As primary attack and Dgleam for Secondary
Reduced 75% really impact on the damage
and 90 BP is very good
*95 BP
Its basically a 60 BP move that hits both opponents vs a 95 BP move with a secondary effect
And getting huge damage in a pinch is very useful
Thank you so much for the help!
Also flutter does not 1v1 kingambit
tats even more better
How is dgleam 65 power it's 80
would chandalure with terra grass/fire work
Oh I didn't see
and also i think it does not Kill Miraidon
100+ SpA Protosynthesis Flutter Mane Moonblast vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Miraidon: 192-228 (109.7 - 130.2%) -- guaranteed OHKO
Yeah even Booster Flutter Barely can kill it
That's cool and all but my mom's making me do science for third year and if I don't I have to repeat second year and that means I have to hang out with all the wierd first years that came in this year
100+ SpA Protosynthesis Flutter Mane Dazzling Gleam vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Miraidon: 120-144 (68.5 - 82.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
and what does it do with this situation?
Idk im just very sad abt it
It's probably gonna be very hard and I will have to quit all games entirely now


sounds like a skill issue to me

just study before you go play games?
like it’s not that hard-
finish al hw and like maybe an hour or two of studies and then play games or smth
heck i literally made Terapagos Rental in my Biology Exam and i got an A
me when finishing an hour of homework and having the next like 7 hours to game is a rough schedule
Bro it's science even if I study all day I'm gonna get maybe 50 if I'm lucky
bruh
science is easy huh?
this that US education @craggy dagger
U sure I haven't done it but I've heard horror stories abt jt
i literally got an A last time in Exam
Oh us education
ohhhh true true

My uk brain was like a 50 is a C dependent on level of education
95% equivalent in physics (IB)

95% damn
eyyyyy
i think last time i get 95% higher is in Primary School
Bro even the Down syndrome kids in my class can do better on science than me
something about electromagnetism?
idk that was easy though-
I got a max mark on like 4 or 5 music papers at gcse
just study more and pay attention in class instead 
ok then thats a Skill Issue-
Outside of music though I was a B/C student
like-
that’s a proper skill issue if you’re not paying attention, studying, doing hw-

I have an sna with me at all times during class
I pay attention all the time but I forget everything abt 30 secs after she says it
exactly
If you forget so quickly why not write down notes so you have the information stored on paper if it won’t stay in your brain
i’m also happy i don’t have physics anymore-
half of my classes just got vaporized out of existence
Writing down notes is crazy
Same my phone is dying so fast just being on my phone all day
so getting 50% in science is a skill issue got it 
physics just sucks
Lmao
IB classes end mid may so that’s half my classes just done :)
Nice 
technically todays my final physics class-
Is tsareena good for av
amusement park field trip 

something about feeling the forces 
Bc I lost faith In my rilla after dying in one hit to cien pow icicle crash
On like the third game I used it in
G-Force?
yeah
No expanding

also Gravitational Pull and tidal force(I only know a bit of Physics)
basically gravity, circular force (like where you’re being pushed out-) (just a recreation of more G-force technically)
eh i know some of them but yeah not that deep for me

How do I get into regional and worlds
regionals just apply and connect to your Account,Worlds you need at least 300 Championship Points
Getting to worlds is a long process of winning or placing high in multiple other tournaments
I thought it was 500
Do I go to the places were it's happening or do I need an invite
i forgot isn't like either both
It’s 400 or 500 dependent on region I think
Go where it's happening and sign up
For Regionals Yes, but Worlds is invite
Damn which regions are 50 and which are 400?
Bro that's so messed up I can't fly to Jamaica to do a regional
welp,tough luck for Me cuz UK does not have It
I'm sure it has tiny things like premier challenges at least
Aight boys
Wherever it is
Hi Monke
Hi monke
NEW RENTAL IN #rental_teams LFG
Also can find blogpost in #self_promotion

Ireland regionals championships winner is me
Bitch what
I want to use cm bolt but want tbolt on it but also don't want only one type of move
There isn't an Ireland regional lmao
No Protect then I guess
Tofu did that
Cm double stab and thunderclap it is then
Now I figure out a spread
The only speed control I have is twave
That’s not good
More speed control is extremely useful
I mean the team is in the slower end other than koraidon and scream tail
i might need to do some of these,But for actual Live Events my only shot is When they make Internationals in London
which i would be folded
Same
My nearest tournaments for most games would be Bristol, but in like 1 and 1/2 weeks my nearest tournaments will be Brighton again
I'm fine with only being able to do premier challenges
i need to see if i can find local Tournaments in Manchester
100% there are locals in the UK, but there are no locals over the summer for any region
the season basically ends on June 9th
Wooo no locals for me in Brighton then
DAMN IT ITS TCG
There's regionals for a lot of places
Guess I gotta wait till like August / September back to Bristol
Even where I live there's regionals
I checked out something to try find both pokemon and smash tournies my nearest is Bristol which isn’t to far
