if its useless then why its in Like 40% of the teams in LA
To be fair, they said "useless on my team". It's not much of a distinction but it's important.
Granted, Incineroar isn't very useless on any team
Fake out and parting shot are some of the most broken moves on the game, not to include its intimidate ability
I wouldn't call Parting Shot "broken", but good.
Again, It's usless on my team
Show team lmao
Parting Shot is especially useful on Incineroar.
But by no means are Fake Out and Parting Shot broken.
its not even remotely useless in Caly S teams
Incin slots fine here.
Against calyrex it’s a perfect matchup, and everyone and their mom uses calyrex shadow
Koraidon > Miraidon imo
Depends on the team build, but I guess that could be true
💀
Incin is not useless on your team sir
and its great in Caly S Teams
Or ma'am
Or they/them
It's an opinion, not a statement of fact, so there's not a true or false here. They're just saying they like Koraidon more.
Don't care, Landious is better for what I want my mons to do
Bro lives in Gen 5-6 days

Its Terapagos,Stellar form Terapagos.
I just can't get over how goofy it looks.
I'm done here folks lmao
I don't think it's goofy. That's the thing about personal opinions on how things look
I honestly like it’s looks more than Koraidon
it looks cool tho,i like the Bluish Purple
I bought Violet because I liked Miraidon more than Koraidon.
To me, this looks more like an actual legendary than Miraidon.
Lmaoo
Sucks that they can't be shiny hunted though. Goofy as Miraidon is, it's got a pretty good shiny
finally next round
I'm biased to chrome tho
Y'all have opinions? Gross
i love how the caster first guessing Minior for the final Pokedex question while i just Locked on Terapagos-
You would absolutely hate some of the other opinions I have.
Honestly rn
Sure
I think nicknaming pokemon serves no purpose and they're cute stat blocks dressed up for my amusement in smashing them violently together.
I wouldn't take it that far, but I do agree that nicknames are useless.
I'm an atypical pokemon player.
I made this disaster bringing horror box a fucking teacup for my own amusement
And now it's time for caramel pecan coffee.
I don't like the raccoon meme that recently started making rounds on the internet. It's not funny.
Yes I know 😂
you need to be level 6
HEY
YOU DON'T TALK SHIT ON PEDRO
It literally isn't a good meme.
🥲
No
It's an outstanding meme
Pedro
That Caly S player being the Cowboy lol
Pablo was funnier than Pedro.
The cowboy hat lol
Yeehaw borther
Tf is Pablo?
Bro got that yeehaw energy
Hey it's something 🤷♂️
HUH???
i am kinda, confused on it
Pablo
That team looks like something you face every time you match up in master rank 😂
That's not real, is it? 
Oh he dressed for the occasion I see lmao
that Dozo front Cam looks Hilarious
Oh I'd take that call
I wanna be in a call with Pablo, Pedro, and John Pork
Plays Ogerpon Theme
Ogerpon is not even in those 2 teams-
Ogerpon drops from the heavens and hits them both with a metal chair.
also why does the hat looks like a Photoshopped picture
Jesus. I keep forgetting that I changed my wallpaper and I keep jumping when I see it for no reason.
I just expect my usual G-Max Melmetal wallpaper and I get jumped by this dude
Eggman wtf you doing-
G-Max eggman
Calling Shadow the Hedgehog a bitch
This image honestly goes hard.
pfft
Bright Powder Tatsugiri is definitely...an item
I am genuinely confused how that team is 4-0
Calyrex?
Did we really not have any other games
Drip
idek at this point
truly
See bro, I'm funny
I don’t believe you
Yeah that's not the general consensus
Sadge
This emerald rogue run I’m on is being carried by an arceus
Not even the receipts could save me bro
Yea cuz you’re not funny 
Welp
Back to brain soup wizard then
Thx bro
You the real MVP
Your brainrot is advanced, I'm afraid.
My brain is too sigma to rot
Wow I have never seen such immediate irony
Stage 4 brainrot, 2 weeks of funny left
And I was diagnosed 2 months ago
Is it treatable
This is exciting and all but damn... it is the slowest regional I've ever seen. It began almost 7hrs ago and only in R5?
Only in Ohio
Hour and a half delay, they started streaming from R1
The brainrot is a disease damn
get quarantined
You laughed at brain soup wizard, you're gone too
Yuh huh
Guh Huh
Also ngl
I farted and I jumped cuz I got scared
Ah so the disease also causes you to be scared of your own farts
It was quiet and then just loud fart bruh lmao
I see
The Cowboy gets the Rodeo
Oh, what was notable from the regional
Andrew Zheng Dissing Terapagos
It's still going 
Ah
Midapagos. 

Is he cosplaying as a Texan?
well a cowboy but yeah
Bro got it down
Shi could've fooled me
He basically like 90/10 got the accent down
@next stump how doing
Bruh Wolfe got beat in that online tour by Dawn Wings Necrozma lmao
Why is this the last regional of the year?
what teammates tho
So Keanu and Michael Zhang are both 4-1 rn
Void!
2-3 drop, tourney started 4 hours late and I played 3 Necrozma Dawn Wings :))
Wisps go brrr
THE DELAY WAS 4 HOURS
3 Dawn Wings?? what team member does it have
yep hahaha they are cutting it early tonight and continuing it tomorrow
it’s psyspam with torkoal/lilligant
I'm a former tournament smash player. I still watch the big tourneys, so I know Void
my team has no matchup into that
i am still kinda unique for my team with full Psyspam with redirection
So Dawn Wings has Potential
its just how you build it
Idek if I do lmao
Oh how many rounds for Day 1 Swiss they doing today?
7
Was it like Dawn wings, Armadee, lillikoal, Gallade?
Throw do you wanna be legendary
Oh there’s also the Luna variant too
nice, I tried similar with ice horse
is that the reference to that song in stream rn
Yeah lol
How so?
I always say it lol
Oh lol
Um legendary for being a fuckin cutie
😉
And then it explodes

I strongly dislike this tortol
Teraform Zero to all the main threats
Wtf is happening in LA?
?
Annihilape, Lugia and Comfey in 5-0 rn
so people dislike Terapagos cuz its one of the best restricted?
damn-
dude then you probably hate the top 7
I hate good Pokémon unless I’m using them 😡😡😡
I don't hate Terapagos. I just find it also ugly. But its less ugly than Miraidon so I am fine with allowing it on my team
Ok How is it Ugly-
shut up then
Base form specifically.
you have the most hot takes here
but then again
Why am I even arguing with a terapagos Stan
The heat hasn't even been turned on yet.
Kirby is a mid game series outside of Star Allies.
No. I need my money to go gambling later.
BRO IS SPEAKING FAXX
Is that a guy carrying a shark on that dude's shirt.
no he’s walking his shark
God I've basically been doing VGC for a year or over now for sure
Regice has the best shiny out of any Pokémon. That's another mild take I have.
Miraidon has a better shiny than koraidon 💯
I like chrome. And I don't like crappy edgy shinies that are only black because "Hurr hurr look at me I'm dark and lifeless just like your soul". Like Rayquaza's.
God I hate Rayquaza.
Oo
Koraidon is gonna get moidured.
T fire?
you see some good sauce here
STELLAR ZACIAN
Stellar Zacian.
wait, WHY SHADOW BALL
Chien Pao,Urshifu Dark
I only run stellar on my Arceus so I can farm Tera raids.
Urshifu is eh
Both sides have gothitelle, interesting
Probably hoping to Shadow Tag trap
kinda see lots of Gothitelle in this regional
I guess its for Fake Outs that you can't stop by just switching in Farigiraf
Since you can't switch
I can’t tell what’s worse
Bringing back gen 8 zacian
Bringing back geomancy xerneas
Or bringing back mega rayquaza
Geomancy Xerneas
Bruh my phone was in my pocket, had to pull it out cuz I heard Zacian lmao
at least Incin can take care of Zacian,Mega Rayquaza kinda just-
Banded dragon ascent don’t move you?
Also stops opposing FO cycles
who tf use band mega ray-
Isn't mostly Life Orb?
ANNIHILAPE
Yes but band can be run
LE APE
If Mega Rayquaza returns, so will Mega Aggron. I'll be fine with the stupid emo dragon as long as I get the Wall back
Doesn’t rayquaza get eq?
Can't outstall the Wall
It’s quad weak
Wolfey's Mega Ray is not Band and i don't like Band Mega Ray when SD Ray exists
What is it gonna do to ray tho? Toxic stall?
Of course
Don’t ray get sd
Steel
Filter
70/140/230/60/80/50
630
Aggron
And v create
then why you said band Ray is better
not legal in VGC
Idk I never ran rayquaza just thought band would’ve been good
SD Ray is better
Why bc it’s an event exclusive
Y E S
Event Exclusive Moves are banned
If its not banned,Most Lugias would run Psycho Boost
Imagine getting bit by this rq
i think it might get more counterplay
cuz Gen 9 Mons aren't kidding-
You forgetting it’s 180 attack with 160 defense
And it evaporates water attacks
Ggs
Primal Groudon would still dominate. 100%
It tried
Definitely
What can replace flutter mane (ubers)
Rock polish sd gonna obliterate gen 9
idk man With that much Special attackers
Why did you still tunneling on Singles-
Imagine Primal Groudon in Gen 9. It'd make Urshifu Rapid Strike completely useless.
Bc I play singles more than doubles
well not as useless.
No Surging Strikes.
Yo i was lf for someone that plays singles, what can replace flutter mane( ubers )
then most of your Opinions are not valid when if Primal Groudon here,Primal Kyogre is still here
It’s competitive Pokémon that includes all formats
Whats the pokemon with the most worlds?
this is mostly VGC ffs
I usually run av hex giratiana with thunder wave and will o wisp
Isn't Flutter Mane Ubers in Singles
Assault Vest... Thunder Wave? Will-o-wisp?
await
I meant specially defensive
With leftovers
A fairy type any good one? Idk if zacian is good with dusk mane necrozma
Better
Honestly
Not bad
i kinda like this team
Those are the two best fairy types
I still think that Stellar Zacian is a bit risky.
Unless you want to run superpower enamorus
So do i keep flutter? Bc i feel like she is doing something to the team
Nty i cant stand her
I don't see much wrong with Stellar Zacian
yo yo, can anyone help me with teambuilding? Im newish just got masters for first time with kyurem white team and I wanna make a strong calyrex shadow team
same,it just give the boost
https://pokepast.es/e496ad0654e1535c team if needed
also me and Monke just belive in Calyrex Shadow+Kommo-o
So first off congrats
And second like
We can help, just understand that rn Caly Shadow is having a few issues lol
Still good, just people prepped for it a lot
Ayy thanks man, calyrex or honestly a strong team in general
Deserved. Me an the homies all hate Calyrex Shadow.
too bad so sad and Deal with it
So basically you want double Fake Out/redirection (don't need both imo, but both is great)
So Incin Rilla is always good, and Calyrex can do Nasty Plot with this
Smells like cope.
dude i am perfectly fine against Calyrexes
I have the kyurem team I can show and see if yall have any ideas to make it stronger
I actually kinda like the shadow Honse now
sure
If you wanna do that, sure
Do you know how to send Pokepastes or work Showdown?
ye ye
Ok, send a paste of the team then preferably lol
holy shi
My question is why Choice Scarf?
finally someone actually knows how to use paste
Outspeed threats like miraidon and koraidon to kill them
use Assault Vest
Now imma say
You do realize you got Prankster Tailwind correct?
Then I guess Miraidon has Whims
True true but if they have a prankster too then its ggs for me
i lost at round 1 at the tournament but it was streamed and the people in the chat went crazy when i got a fissure so it was worth it
and tailwind
Actually
@lofty tartan getcho ass in here
Assault Vest Kyurem White is solid
Bet Ill try it
@forest arrow BABE GET IN HERE
Dengo i have a set from Drago
This is Specs Dengo though
I have a vc yall can join
Can't VC rn
Lemme try to do an evaluation of whole thing
Money Bag (Gholdengo) @ Metal Coat
Ability: Good as Gold
Level: 50
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 204 HP / 60 Def / 116 SpA / 36 SpD / 92 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Make It Rain
- Shadow Ball
- Nasty Plot
- Protect
I think Drago's seems solid
So first off, you can try AV or Life Orb on Kyurem, though I do see your logic some with Scarf
Tornadus would like some bulk if Covert Cloak, Sash on max max is something too
Incin is wasting EVs, go down to 12 attack and 76 speed and add the 8 EVs you get from that into Defense I guess
Ogerpon also wasting, take 4 SpDef and put em in speed to even that out
Flutter would like some bulk too,
148/0/124/84/4/148 I believe is my booster EV spread with Timid nature and it ain't bad, lives Adamant Ice Spinner from Chien Pao
Gholdengo could possibly be replaced for something else imo, although maybe Lando or Bolt, Dengo is probably still fine as it keeps you from auto losing to Zamazenta here
Help this person even more with team bro
They rocking Kyurem White
No problem, not bad team, just experiment with some stuff really lol
You’ll appreciate av
bet bet
Need more help, just ask
Someone will be here lol
Kyu needs Earth power and Fusion Flare tbh
Oh ye i got both
his set is fine
except the item
Yeah I seen, lemme see if I have paste
Do i change evs on kyurem or tornadus?
Honestly, I’ve had a few drinks so won’t be much help rn but I’ll send pastes to help with ideas
This fuckin guy lmao
I never let loose lemme have my moment lol
What a dub, who should I replace gholdengo with, his main purpose was to shut down fairies too
I liked the Ghold Variant but if you switched incin for chi yu you could run Dark Ursh
Okay that’s all the help I’ll be atm lmao, much love lol

ty ty
Ofc
I will let you know playing with Kyu is like forcing yourself to play the game in hard mode
its okay hes my goat
Sweet just wanted it to be known 
Playing any of the not top tier restricteds is playing in hard more
that zacian did pretty well against Koraidon tho
even tho it lost twice
guys how bad MU do you consider Kyogre-Landorus Incarnate vs Zamazenta?
No zacian is like, good
its not top tier in gen 9
Idt I’m coping anymore I just think it’s good
Idk screens Lunala went hard today
but it did pretty well
I’m definitely trying it
feel like Zheng is gonna diss Terapagos even more if his Lunala Won
So I’m just taking the weekend off
every once in a while i think that every restricted has atleast something good that justifies using it
and is like "okay let's start, mewtwo"
and i can't defend it
Bro I took all of Reg F off, it’s okay to take breaks 
I’m sorry bro lol I’m not a Pagos hater but I did like that hoodie and his team XD
Why have I heard them multiple times comparing bleakwind storm and moonblast? They aren't similar, like at all
i am just so damn pissed and i did not even look at the stream
I hope that they give it something one day
Just a good ability could save it
Who?
Not like super meta, but so it can be respectable
Like Neuroforce or something else?
Mew is NU 😭😭😭
Yeah
We don't fucking care
What did I do
i think like Neuroforce sounds cool on Mewtwo
Mew Was not even Legal so tf why we care about it
Psychic
Pressure, Unnerve (Hidden)
106/110/90/154/90/130
680
Mewtwo-Mega-X, Mewtwo-Mega-Y
Neuroforce would be too good on it because of its huge movepool
thats the Point,Its Bad rn
Mewtwo SUCKS
Mewtwo?
Just give it any ability but pressure
I’d rather use Splash, Cosmic power Cosmoem
or make it faster but bulk seems more feasible
This Pokemon's attacks that are super effective against the target have their damage multiplied by 1.25.
its not even that OP,it has to be Super Effective
Does Mewtwo atleast learn Wide Guard

nope
Nope
absol?
That pokedex looks like Absol
idk
SHADOW RIDER?
Is that my little girl whimsicott?
Calyrex Ice Rider vs Miraidon

Lmao I didn't notice the hoodie said mid lmao
thats why i am livid
Kinda funny
I also didn't notice until now, cuz my dumbass can't read
literacy is dead,but in different method
but then again
the blue blends well so i guess its not your fault
Anyone know if there is a better userof Follow me and Wide guard than Smeargle?
but you can use 2 pokemon for it
Makes sense I didn’t think so
Amoonguss Pelipper is solid
yep
Pelipper, Zamazenta for wide guard
even Mienshao
Lunala as well
Thanks, just wondering because having those two moves on one Pokémon seems a little broken, but Smeargles stats are terrible
treyyxd2023 has given 1 Gen Rep to morrispxg456
Calm mind lunala superior
and for follow me or redirection in general, amoonguss, indeedee, clefairy
Finally, once this stream is done, got a Wolfe video to watch lol
clefairy is the meta call
i might sleep
why are people not using Clefairy
weird
Just doing it to see Caly S play lol
Also might just use it as background noise while testing on Showdown
The double dittos is funny
ok so i built two terapagos teams
this is not terapagos lol
Why does it copies the wrong link lmao
i made these two, which one do you think is better? and which changes would you make?
This one is basically mine but with Flutter Over Cress and different Turtle Set
but i think its good

TR turtle?
the mons are similar ok?

I need to do some testing lol
ok go for it
i might need to do major update on my turtle team
i just need to think outside of the box
Acrobatics Chien Pao
Why did I fight Acrobatics Chien Pao
Anyways I got to 1200 twice and now just damn
Lost to an RNG and then lost to Acrobatics Chien Pao
Nope, i just think i needed some redirection, control against priority moves, terrains, and deactivate opossing trick rooms, and Indeedee gave me that
But TR Terapagos does not seem bad
Maybe with something like Fake Tears Flutter Mane
hmmmmm
also like i kinda don't know what i should change on My Terapagos Team
You said something about running mystic water already but from looking at your team I definitely think you should change the choice scarf to mystic water, as then what’s the point of U-turn or basically any other move with urshifu other than rapid strikes ?
What do you think about Sitrus berry Amoonguss?
And rocky helmet Tornadus or focus sash
Problem is that i used to run Sitrus Amoonguss and i can't seem to deal with Rapid Shifu
For Pivoting,If its not a good Lead than you can always Pivot into something else
Hmmm
Makes sense
I guess that true, but I still think something like life orb or Mystic water could be more useful on him
and Calyrex would just Deny the Sitrus so yeah
I think that still with sitrus you a good match up against Urshifu
Yeah that too
Atleast for me i've been running sitrus berry Amoonguss + Safety Goggles Inci in many of my teams and it has worked
Calyrex hasn't been that big of a problem, normally i have a space so it lets sitrus activate
Cresselia actually is for thunder wave and Heal Status Conditions...
you never know if they would return but maybe,i can consider
I have actually hit and dropped out of 1200s 3 times now wtf
Now it's 5 times I've gotten back into 1200s
It's not even like much team issue, but just like
One or two turns where I misplay and it costs me
https://pokepast.es/c99f9f7b529d66ae How is this Choice Specs Terapagos?
Heya, made a calyrex team, anything I should change? https://pokepast.es/924b5bc299b31c47
Yes the clefairy was inspired by wolfey

I will order the things wrong with this team:
- 4 EVs aren't used on Tornadus, 80 is the same as 76 evs and 96 is the same as 92 evs, they should be fixed
- Raging bolt should be bulky, not fast, if i were you i would hit the benchmark of outspeeding Calyrex Shadow Rider in tailwind, which is 112 so sort the evs for bolt to be this fast if you still want a fast bolt
- There is no need for rain dance on tornadus as it only benefits Ogerpon Wellspring and it doesn't need more damage output
- Triple electric STAB on Raging Bolt is not good, Thunderbolt and Thunderclap are all you need and Volt Switch isn't that good on it
- Timid on Calyrex Shadow and Chi-Yu is best here as you don't need extra damage output and need more speed, Ogerpon wellspring should have jolly
Not really, everyone is ok
I can see the team working out, its just a few issues that need to be patched up

Anyone wanna Fight my Ass Team? It sucks
So far with Choice Specs Terapagos
Terapewgos
Terapagos is mid it needs to tera to become a restricted legendary
Whatt are you talking about? Terapagos is amazing when it terastalizes and costing the tera every game isn't that bad, yes you can't tera when you need it but Tera'd Terapagos is amazing, it got 2nd place in Indianopolis regionals so there is no way it is mid
ignore afnan and his rubbish takes
I would be careful about saying that ngl
I don't need to say why
But yes you're right
anyway moving on
Choice Specs terapagos is better than i expected ngl
is it better than calm mind
Not sure
I haven't played CM in a long time now
Like its been longer than a month

I kick ass when i try my best
I love Grimmsnarl with T-Wave
Nice
bold to tera in front of terapagos
I remember u used to report people for just abt anything so I will uave to return the favor on the behalf of the people who u reported
I predicted them to tera so that way i can tera and hit them back twice as hard, screens and T-Wave helped out a lot
I didn't tera infront of Urshifu because i would take a lot of damage
and it was banded too
And it helped me to tank they're Terapagos SE Starstorm
i've noticed a couple of times you've tried to t-wave opposing dark types, remember that prankster fails on dark types
But Kal0sunleashed is friendly
He reported people like every 5 minutes like 2 months ago
Or maybe that was just a one day thing tho
Kal0s doesn't have a gender listed so refer to them as they/them until specified 
Just a polite thing to do. And they've always been kind to me
Kalos is awesome
Thanks Lycopoky 
And i barely interacted with them but so is RockruffNRoll
is there no reg G info in pikalytics??
Not afaik
Not yet
https://munchstats.com/gen9vgc2024regg/1760/Incineroar Thats why i use this Website
Find out Latest Pokemon Showdown Usage Statistics. Most Pokemon Showdown formats supported!
And also because Pikalytics is outdated

ok the king is still n1
does unseen fist ignore abilities too such as water absorb
Nope, only ignores protect
It isn't Mold Breaker
okay what about screens
Only their signature moves do such as Surging Strikes and Wicked Blow because they have guaranteed critical hits
Others have a 4.17% to crit
Wicked Blow and Surging Strikes guarantee it
but if you have a pokemon with water absorb and you have screens active the damage reduction is possible with rapid strike
Water Absorb takes 0 damage from water type attacks including surging strikes and no you can't reduce the damage the crits do without burns
Am I a homie, Lyco?
Yes
I can't say who isn't a homie but i think you know who
Incineroar?
Oh ok
But only in restricted formats
Gary oak

Wrong, but its true that he isn't a homie
Human that isn't from pokemon or any video game
incineroar gets better the higher the power level
'Nuff said
I mean it’s so good in most formats due to its incredible support moveset
I thought his name was whatever insult we came up with
I think its Donkey
Bro yoi can't be using bad language man
Or Stewpid idk
Asshat

lunala is underrated
Never used giving a shot soon
Ive that shiny one I wanna build around 
lol im in DA rn testing my luck
I got lucky, Ive Sword and joined a friend in DAs. I was the only one that got shiny 
Otot helped me get the Lunala path, bout time I used it lol
Good lcuk
Ty i got charm so hopefully
throwdatahh has given 1 Gen Rep to lycopoky
Have fun
rotom i love you but go away lol
Nya
pocketpoof has given 1 Gen Rep to throwdatahh
Shooketh has a niche?
oooh sandy shocks might be good at dealing with miraidon too

Just ground types in general limit it
I just got a bad idea: Groudon + Sandy Shocks
Yeah I definitely didn't see that on yt
idk about two ground types though
You get electric coverage
To beat the Water types
And Sun heat crash to counter grass and ice types
sandy shocks, one of the only scarlet paradoxes not weak to fairy
Flutter Mane is a menace too paradox pokemon
Despite being a Paradox mon
Checks notes
if i run sandy shocks i'll probably have to sacrifice rotom
Riptom
Get rid of Rotom is is trash (use it if you want to : ) )

nice, very clean game
Stats
nice
nice

See, i am good
I believe you
Keep it up
Now you see that i am not mid
Low elo though 
My main is nearly 1600 elo
Gxe also matters.
Mine isn’t
My alt is around 1500 but I haven't laddered in a couple of days, idk whether I should use sandy shocks or not because Zama does not like chi yu
Or miraidon
Electric/Ground
Protosynthesis
85/81/97/121/85/101
570
Yeah can sandy shocks even OHKO chi-yu that has bulk investments?
Probably not and it needs to go booster speed
But I'm thinking maybe for eweb support

Aw, no icy wind.
im gonna be honest I didnt know scream tail learned gyro ball
It got the 'normal type' treatment
My main is at 1400 rn
You are out of the cringe zonne
which is 1000-1300 elo
https://pokepast.es/50e5b91704ac445e Btw i cooked something up
No Shooketh? 
What shooketh?
https://pokepast.es/caeed4b686e76bae Here is another thing i cooked up
does burn affect zamazentas body press?
Yes
Its a physical attack and since Burn affects physical attacks, it halves the damage of body press
Sad? Yes, but for the better? Yes
Special Defense Body Press when 
We first need Frostbite and a special Intimidate and then we go Special Body Press to ensure it being balanced
What about speed intimidate
Call it petrify
special intimidate ability: "Um Actually" -1 spatk
Thunder Wave, Tailwind, Icy Wind, Electro Webs, Trick Room and Quash:
Yeah we don't need it
Trick room would be like: its free real estate 
But we can want it
Breaking Swipe and Snarl exist and arennt used that much
what we do need is a boosting intimidate for you teammates
LITERACY IS DEAD
Thei ar so jealus of our gramar it is hilarius
They are so jealous of our grammar it is hilarious
What was wrrong with my grammar there 
We can want it, makes little sense at all
It makes sense
A better one would be: what we can do is say that we want it
Better, but both are still correct 
So no need to mock grammar there, especially as English isn't even my first language
Most native speakers are much worse than me regardless
LA stream perhaps starting either earlier, or we’re just gonna miss rounds 8 and 9
(jk)
I just made it past 1600 on the showdown ladder for the first time 🙂 am I good now?
First time I tried grinding it out with a team I am comfy with
Where do I find that?
Not bad, pretty ok
What it means is
It's your % likelihood of winning against a random opponent
random opponent being the average player
Calyrex ice rider tera type
What is good
That sucks
At least 70%
But 60-70 is in solid territory
Sub 60 means you have a lot to learn
Gotcha. I had a ROUGH start this season but now that I know the matchups better I’ve been winning more
Ok ok, what elo would u aim for?
As high as you can as you maintain it lol
So then uh, when will I know a team is done?
I stop after my GXE dips
For all we know, they'll just push it like everyone made day 2 lol
how do i cope with only being good irl
Up to you lol
Can't help you there, I'm TRASH
But you can look at a team objectively being done when you shuold have already accounted for all the relevant MUs
I don't really have anymore insight ladderwise
like i cook irl but then my showdown elo is people drooling on their keyboard so idrk what to do
Its honesly individual
Like I said, it's just a snapshot
Its not the full picture
same shit here hahaha, I once last 10 games in a row on ladder the night before a MSS but went 7-1 to win the tournament
Nah
Which is why I prefer to just be consistent across the board
Where else am I gonna drool
just grind locals for practice or online tournaments
hes a smart man
That's probably my own ceiling
I had maybe 2-3 games on ladder with my last Zamazenta team lol
when i move in with my gf yotam will be a local player for me
Lol

Yotam got his invite too
yaay
You gonna throw hands with Grandpa in game?
Also he said I was a good player when I was having a crisis so ig that proves that
Tofu
Does Hawaii assist the elderly or
Idk, probably
Ok, had to make sure so Yotam could get around
Oof 
Incin be getting glazed or whenever I use it it gets put into the worst match ups ever
Skill Issue 
The Japanese are on some new tech
skill issue
Like
Grimmsnarl/Incin + CM Kyogre
Then i've seen Double FO/Cress variant/Wo-Chien variant
Basically the East is running this team
calm mind…?
Oh it's also Lefties Kyogre
Why tera steel on drago when u can go dragon for more damage
Crazy
Evil
And knocked out of 1200s again
Love paralysis RNG
Any way I can refine this team even more? I seem to struggle against Miraidon/electric terrain teams
In bo1 or bo3?
tera grass zama fixes a lot of that
It's BO1, but still
Tera Grass Zama and also just replace shroom with the grass monkey honestly
Cuz like
Even if you Tera to resist, if you can't deal with the terrain, it's still a rough MU
Cuz then even with the resist, you're still taking Miraidon attacks at maximum output
And ngl I think Rillaboom is sorta better for Zamazenta than Amoongus imo
Both work, but I think the monkey is slightly better
Also is the 164 speed to outspeed Chi Yu?
To get ice caly I have to combine them in swsh before moving it through HOME?
Cuz now I have a standalone caly and 2 horses in SV 
Got to shot miraidon asap
you can’t move them if they’re combined-
there should be an auction for the reigns of unity in porto marinada
There isn’t, I though there was
I got pinged here and apparently someone deleted it? 😐
idk
It was last night lol
Pretty sure I cleared all of those unless it was one later. I get random pings in this channel all the time at odd hours.
Maybe idk
I mean we all live in very different time zones so if you got pinged it was probably a normal time for whoever pinged you
I'm playing from Mars, my ping is 22 minutes
huh?
Glad to know Elon is testing gaming connections on Mars
I have 300 hours of play time and never did a single auction lol i guess i'll find other unique items for legendaries at the auction?
yesss
there should be ones for the crystals for the creation trio, mirror for the genies, splicer for the tao trio, solarizer/lunaraizer for the light trio
Awesome thx @craggy dagger
fieel has given 1 Gen Rep to stella_novie
What set should I run for Rilla? I’m already running av on bolt
Miracle Seed/Meadow Plate
I also deadass am starting to wonder if Clear Amulet is an argument lmao
Rilla can run Taunt
Oh yeah true
Man, Rilla has so many moves I wanna run on it. I’m debating if it’s worth dropping fake out for taunt
Depends on how exactly you wanna do it
There was the one Choice Band set with no Fake Out, then again Choice Band Fake Out is dumb
What was the set grassy glide, wood hammer, u-turn and stomping tantrum
Yeah
Makes sense
I had Sword too
I just had connections lol
Anyway, I love caly-S
Just need to play smart.
It's not always a straightforward fight sadly. lol.
Also, I watched guardians of the galaxy 3. Your pfp is giving me flashbacks.

It's just Pedro
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2024regg-2130956197 I think i finally found out how i should play Zekrom correctly, again
Watch a replay of a Pokémon battle between Raparent and lyco zekrom! Format: [Gen 9] VGC 2024 Reg G; Date: May 26, 2024
Guys do you think that there’s a way to make metagross relevant again
Or is it hopeless
There’s a meta in metagross for a reason
JUST IN TIME, Stream is about to start
@molten oasis Zacian at 7.27% in Day 2
Wonder how late the event will go today
It's gonna start with R11
HANDS BACK ON THE GRAPHIC
The monkey is also up there
I think Caly I is just more popular in NA
WHO COULDA THOUGHT
WHY
HA HA HA
whaiii-??
I can't say "I told you so" any harder tbh
I'm gone, I'm out of here
I'm rooting against this guy fuck you
Wow
why covert cloak?
Blocks secondary effects
No Icy Wind speed drops, no Snarl drops
dont clear am do the same
Covert Cloak is better lol
Yeah, but you also don't flinch if they call the tera and Fake Out
Fair point
oh yeah
But you still get affected by Parting Shot but thats manageable
Besides Incineroar would rather use Knock off
Than shot
a -1 status is better than a 4x snarl
Anyways
If it works with Kommo-O, I might become the villain
You have no recovery so good luck
Rillaboom?
Thats not enough
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Clefairy?
rilla comfey
And CSR is pretty frail for restricted standards
No it isn't
That's just typing problems
Psychic/Ghost
As One (Spectrier)
100/85/80/165/100/150
680
Calyrex
boosted 2/3 hp healing
How much I need Snarl
It’s pretty bulky tbh
Generally it isn't frail
it’s only frail cause of the 4x weakness
which it can now shed thanks to tera
But i don't know many restricteds who have frailer defenses and Hp than CSR
100 is standard
80 isn't
Psychic
Pressure, Unnerve (Hidden)
106/110/90/154/90/130
680
Mewtwo-Mega-X, Mewtwo-Mega-Y
I’d it though? Idk about 100 being standard for defences
whoa-
that’s bulkier than i thought 
Fire/Dark
Blaze, Intimidate (Hidden)
95/115/90/80/90/60
530
CSR has better stats, offensive pressure, ability and doesn't need a huge movepool to be amazing
I don’t
Typing is worse or better depending on how you look at it
But blocking Fake Out is very nice
Are you still jealous of my Pokerogue Arceus IVs?
Tofu you do realize this guy has no healing other than Rilla and DKiss right?
"Tofu you realise this guy has no healing other than this self-sufficient healing move right"
So basically do I need more than Rilla and DKiss lmao
Thought you said that
Bro you know I'm trying that rn lmao
How do you directly mention Kommo-O into Covert Cloak and not expect anyone to think you wanted to use it for Kommo-o
Do you really think I would run Cloak Kommo-O
Yes cause you say stupid shit
I know better than that Tofu lmao
No you dont
Yeah I do
Yet you can't even use context properly
The context of the current situation referring to Covert Cloak on CSR and you mention Kommo-O
Arguing like tom and Jerry 
We were talking about the horse already
I'm not going to refer to past conversations because thats not how that works
Bruh
YOu didnt even mention CSR in a sentence
This fuckin guy
Thats like asking "wheres my present" 4 days after your birthday and expect people to understand what you mean
That's not at all lmao
Yes it fucking is
Imma stop before Tofu reaches his hands thru the screen lol
Right, don't speak to me for like 3 days I am so done
You're gonna have to re-add me because I am about to block you
Bruh it ain't that serious
Does that set run much bulk btw
Probably some I guess
If it’s set up then probably
Hell you showed me calcs earlier why tf am I asking lol
Wait a damn second, why is this focus band shifu?
Use your brain
I just realised
Why do you think
Holder has a 10% chance to survive an attack that would KO it with 1 HP.
Its a typo you moron
