bolt also works tbh
I have lines into a lot of teams already
so then which one are u struggling with? if not any in specific, we can work towards helping ur gameplan with the last mon
honestly, probably terapagos and ice rider
True
Chi Yu feels A LOT BETTER in this-
If I add peli I have to drop torn and torn is just, bleh
Hitmontop
I don’t really think ice rider struggles that hard into chi yu
was gonna mention this
It’s gonna Tera and ice rider typically has peli
Scarf Snarl
chi-yu doesnt look great when one of main offense is tornshifu i see
the Chi yu is the reason why i can survive against Caly
Are you talking about ice rider or shadow rider
both
I said my mu into ice rider was iffy
And I lost to all the terapagos I played into but that probably more positioning tbf
also drago for last slot (incase u missed it) Monke said hitmontop, which i kinda think u could trial

What item am I supposed to give it
Mienshao is my last thought but Sash is into pao and Mienshao ruined my days in Early Reg G
Hitmontop
Gives Fake Out, Wide Guard, can break Protects, and gives you Intimidate
Holder is grounded, Speed halved. If Flying type, takes neutral Ground damage.
what item am I supposed to give it
clear am/sitrus
@solid frigate which pokemon should Terapagos outspeed?
eject pack and button can also work
or red card if you wanna be funny
mm
That's my only thought
idk why iron ball is there
Koraidon and Miraidon mostly,Caly S and Zacian i would not worry too much
So i give it 20 speed
Trick room I’d assume
ok yeah tru
Like my only other thing is just Incineroar
Which hasn’t been clicking
still get blown away by draining kiss caly
I’m staring at my 6th slot in matches that’s pretty consistently always dead
Like I’m considering the other 5 a lot more
I mean, what does incin do into clef caly
also i feel like, pagos shouldnt be much of a prob for u, shifu seems like a simple win con
It was positioning into it
is this fine?

That was just kinda poor
Your mom

yeah only thing i think needs work for pagos is positioning
It just looks at Clef Caly and goes "fuck this, where's your mom"
No your mom
Just to recap
I mean if you're having trouble with Clef Caly
Kingambit fuck it
I’ve seen hands, lando I, bolt, mienshao, hitmontop, incin again, and ig goltres popped up
Just Kingambit that shit
I have a line into it already
oh yeah drago i think redirection is nice
Although I need to play the mu more
maybe moongus even
wait its specs? i think its fine, tailwind in your Team can outspeed Koraidon and Miraidon just fine
Someone also brought up volc once
Yeah I said Volcarona
why not moongus btw
just, again, harder to click rain dance with it chunking it’s fire attack

@foggy lodge i used this set but yours is perfectly fine
Don’t really want more fire flying and ice weaknesses
rain deals with fire well enough, ice types ur mainly gonna be seeing is caly and pao, moongus deals with caly, shifu and zac give pao a HARD time. pao can kill them brids and zac should wall

anything with taunt forces clef to switch.
Amoongus does not really deal with Caly 100% lmao
It doesn’t
it does
true
but it threatens it well enough
Not the clef comment
my b
I have taunt torn rn
it dies to Glacial Lance lmao
But also just, other issue with having to deal with that is my absolute favorite incin switching in 🫠
That and urshifu doesn’t really want to take hits from caly
idk
lol real madrid basically won ucl, anways-
I can taunt clef all I want but it’s still gonna follow me or hh first
God if only Heatran were good
hard to fit in current meta
its good,just can't keep up
Ok let’s just, the mu I feel like I struggle with the absolute most is caly ice
why not try gambit
The team can play through tr but still kinda rough
covers tera with iron head
ditto 
lol
Actually
You want niche, go Chandelure or Ceruledge too
helps with incin with defiant
I considered gambit for a minute just wasn’t sure
i mean copying caly-i in tr is the funniest thing for me
big "ah shit" for opponent
Gambit is literally it if you're having trouble with Honse I guess
it has too many Physical attackers-
I agree try gambito
how come rilla is stuck to AV though
ig I can go CA rilla
Just Black Glasses the fucker
Or better yet, Goggles
Rilla gets av if I add bolt
goggles works
goggles works too yeah
Yeah Goggles Gambito
another option into TR right there too
mm, sure
Googles?
Gambit does kinda do what I want
Ik you mean goggles
It’s good into both caly’s
@mighty stump yippie top cut toronto practice event
Boooo (good job)
it just i call saftey Goggles safety Googles
Fire or Flying tbh
Fire
See how much HH damage is from honse tho
Draining Kids
wtf
Courtesy of autocorrect for some fuckin reason
Draining kids
LMAO
You high
Nah I'm sober, I'm just a dumbfuck
Lemme check
I just ate McDonald's and am still a bit hungry wtf
252+ Atk Calyrex-Ice Rider High Horsepower vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Kingambit: 124-146 (59.9 - 70.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
i thought American Mcdonalds big though, what did u get?
Flying just makes you weak to lance
Why do you care?
Hmm
252+ Atk Kingambit Kowtow Cleave vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Calyrex-Ice Rider: 116-140 (56 - 67.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO that is depressing
im curious
Alright
But Quarter Pounder, a 4pc nugget, and a medium fry
drink?
Apparently Japan has a double big Mac so like
They out-obesed us on that one
Fanta
But it's a fucking double Big Mac
They’re smaller
Still smaller
NUH UH
Cuz I'm obese
gambit good into Csr although I’d like to play bo3’s into that with someone
Idk if that’s the best choice for cir
Average American:
The doctor told me I was morbidly a beast, I'm fuckin ballin
lol double bigmac is on americn mcdonalds website silly monke
A beast, nice
look it up
No way
Why do I not have it then
Ah
So it's like the McRib
Stop making me want to buy fast food I’m trying not to spend money rn
I just ate whataburger
It's McDonald's bro you should be not wanting it
Ok, don't you dare
yk what ima go eat smth
Hot take
Whataburger mid
Although Drago is American, atleast he has a brain unlike you
I would go to Wendy’s or Dairy Queen not McDonald’s
Jesus the monke slander is insane
Better than Midonalds
Wendy's nuts bitch
i like burger king


Burger King good
Agree
Eh ig it depends
My Burger King is pure ass lmao
My Burger King locations are fucking nasty
You should see Monke and Tofu's conversations then, they would blow you away
I have it’s hilarious
ppl say its ass but the ones near me are amazing
No
McDonald's is good cuz like
You never get disappointed
never missed
yep
Unless its everyone else lol
You already expect the same shit
bro have u seen Uk sizes? BigMac cant even be called big
True, Monke says one bad thing and Tofu starts insulting him and doubting his future
I can’t eat McDonald’s anymore I get a stomach ache everytime
Its smol
mhm
That's what I'm saying like
You go somewhere, have a good experience
Go again have a shit experience, you're disappointed
Wtf are you expecting from McDonald's besides disappointment
Hong Kong's Mcdonalds are way better than UK
The Mcgriddles fuck me up bro
For McDonald’s
i can imagine Uk mcdonalds being one of the worst, never in my life have i gone to get a bigmac and been so dissapointed i dont even go there anymore
East Asian Mcdonalds are so good
THEY DID MCFLURRY BETTER THAN UK
i dont like fast food icecream 
mm, I hope kingambit works out
Kinda tired of the constant member switching
i feel u
after like my 3-5 redo i normally let it go
cause it gets boring
On paper it feels like it should
Yea, we’ll see
i did like most of the team member switching
Spanish McDonalds is surprisingly good ngl, i don't eat it much for health reasons
Hopefully it does Drago
now im jealous of other mcdonalds
Just saying that is not ok +2 252 SpA Tera-Fairy Calyrex-Shadow Rider Draining Kiss (Tera 60 BP Boost) vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Kingambit: 141-166 (68.1 - 80.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
this is just-
thats useful
Atleast it doesn't OHKO
At least
Those are big numbers
Yk what
+2 252 SpA Tera-Fairy Calyrex-Shadow Rider Draining Kiss (Tera 60 BP Boost) vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Assault Vest Kingambit: 93-111 (44.9 - 53.6%) -- 35.2% chance to 2HKO
I’ll test it out later
idk if i should make another Pagos team
i made this
i have a bit of a Deja Vu on my team lol
it looks great,its fine
252 SpA Calyrex-Shadow Astral Barrage vs. 172 HP / 60 SpD Flutter Mane: 134-162 (88.1 - 106.5%) -- 37.5% chance to OHKO
that's the reason of the flutter evs

holy fu-
i think its fine
now i have to actually play with the team lol
yeah lol
also kinda funny that all my teammates in My Team are more focused on specs version of Turtle
But i don't mind
i'll make a new turtle team
Let's say a pokemons speed is 317 (rayqauza) and he has room service would the drop be enough to let him go first in trickroom
Against actual trickroom mons
Oh that stinks
Not stinks I just need it's shiny
So how much does each stage drop a stat the internet is confusing
Should I divide the stat by 6
10 EVs per 1 Stat drop berry
No what I mean is room service or scary face how much does a single stat drop in those cases 2 stat drops how much is the speed stat lowerd
In battle
but wait 317 Speed?
Are you playing Singles or Doubles-
Doubles or singles tbh he might be used in both but mainly doubles because if his speed needs lower more I can scary face him also with prankster grimsnarl and rayqauza should be first with a 4× speed drip but do I need 4 ya know
tf are you even talking about-
Trick room slowest Pokemon goes first how much does my speed need to be lowered to be first against actual trick room months
Mons
why would you lower Rayquaza's Speed-
So I can use him to sweep trick room teams
But his speed will only be lowered if it's a trick room team
why not just use Lunala-
i see regionals or world matches from the past and i miss when the damage trades where from 25%-30% and not 90% like now lol
or Caly Ice
Because I already have Shiny Rayquaza and I have to trade for shiny lunala
lol
i hate power creep
eh its alright but like still
I'm God They need to restrict a few more Legends cut back on the amount of legendary sweepers I think but we can only play each season
On not im
Responding to this why do you think the damage trades are so crazy
Am doing Just having a conversation
just power creep
not even just restricteds
Power is the legends
Power creep is from the Legends mainly
Non-restricted Legends
tera fairy choice specs flutter ohkos many pokemon even if thy take neutral damage
Imo
moonblast oneshots Incineroar
dude yapping is just-
Also the new forms are very overpowered
We're just talking man I'm not even complaining as much as just saying how it is in my opinion
You're lowering the effectiveness of "yap" by using it so much

Like I'm literally making teams to counter it I'm doing my best no matter how it is
uhhhhhh
you what now
depends
Currently my best counter for flutter Maine is my poison Terra type Komo-o with clangourus soul poison jab scale shot and drain punch
It's like bacteria and antibiotics.
The more you use antibiotics, the more likely a bacterium will gain an immunity to the antibiotic and make it completely useless against it.
Max speed and attack evs
Poison Tera Kommo-o???
Steel Tera is better
Yep with poison Jab
The more you say people yap, the more likely people will stop caring and they'll just start ignoring you
why tf
Maybe but I've been pretty successful with it I have no complaints about this one everyone has an opinion
define succesful
Hang on, he might be cooking
if were being technical, the bacterium already had the immunity when the treatment occurred, its just that it survived whereas most of the others died
Oh you know so whenever they come to hit my quad week to fairy Pokemon it hits for not very effective and I take theirs out
i don't think it works
Plus Body Press is more better
Flutter Mane is neutral-
@solid frigate want to play a bo3 on showdown?
I'm in SV rn
but sure maybe i finish this match
Bacteria evolve quickly to survive.
If you use antibiotics too much, they'll evolve an immunity to the antibiotics, because they have time to find countermeasures
dw
They try to hit you with a fairy and you use clangers Soul on the turn you terratyoe to poison
Against Caly Shadow btw,so its managable
Honestly one of the best assets against all the Speedy legendaries is prankster scary face in doubles along with grim snarls screens
damn-
And speedy non Legends
i have to get comfortable with the team
Did you get harassed by Gloom/Dewgong yet?
i think my spread is more for CM Turtle
like 1 month ago
Gloom/Dewgong is so funny
i don't remember what was i playing lol
i beat one of the team using this
it has worked for me atleast
also bro the Chi Yu spamming Snarl against CLoak Pagos
What is it. 50% chance to flinch with Gloom and 30% chance to 1 shot with Dewgong, plus a 50/50 chance that Dewgong either gambles the 1 shot or goes to boost up Armarouge
Gambling is great
it's funny
but it only works in bo1 cts
and not anymore because everyone know the gimmick now
should i use a different team for it?
It's the fact that Gloom of all pokes got to see some limelight
for what? i'm lost ajdewpoj
against your team
go mirror
ok name MorrisPXG456
yeah, but if we're talking individual bacterium, the survivors likely already developed immunity some time before the treatment occurred (bacteria are kinda like a genetic stock exchange). And as they proliferated after the fact, their descendants also carry the factor that holds their immunity. The issue is that we're putting selective pressure on these groups of microbes that works to our disadvantage for antibiotic treatments. Where individuals with immunity are being selected for because we cant stop abusing antibiotic treatments, leads to more bacterium already immune to them down the line, either by genetic exchange (yes, bacteria can exchange genetic material) or reproduction
oh my god
?
Sounds like politics lol
well, it aint politics, but yeah, its silly
Quick question. So I know trading erases the evs, but does storing a pokemon in Home do so as well?
trading doesnt erase EVs, and HOME does keep them
Crap. Thank you
striferealists has given 1 Gen Rep to burnttoaster42
damn if you woke up i lost lol
RNGesus moment
anyways ggs
ggs
suprised i did not bring Cresselia even if its good in this match
overall i am fine with the team
I want to make this team in console because i didn't pay 35 dollars for nothing
But i have to get accostumed with the team first
Any tip about gameplan?
we kinda have different options for Terapagos,but you have to protect the turtle
like if you see my playstyle i am more defensive
well balanced but i think your options on gameplan is fine
also game 1 late game you could just Close Combat and starstorm i think...
NOO I GOT AGAINST A ZAMA
try neutralise Zamazenta and abuse the Rain from Pelipper(If the opponent has one but eh)
Let Chi Yu fight
it's Inci whimsi ursaluna bm farigiraf flutter and zama
thats unusual for Zama....
Terapagos,Chi Yu,Amoonguss and Torn maybe
Chi Yu is good against like 3 Mons
or Urshifu if you really want to cover Incin
chi-yu failed two heat waves in a row
oml
i mean flutter can help but it dies to one heavy slam-
flutter just missed an icy
damn the luck is not on your favor-
What's a good Alcreamie support set?
usually Decorate,Alluring Voice,Protect and something else-
Alluring Voice is good against Zacian,Zamazenta,Caly S and CM/Power Herb Terapagos
as it can 100% confuse the target when they set up
ya know what
i did think about Alcremie Terapagos support before
HP,Def and Speed
Recovering move too?
you don't really make alcremie go offense
Drain Punch, Endeavor, Facade, Fling, Giga Impact, Last Resort, Play Rough, Tackle
Alluring Voice, Dazzling Gleam, Disarming Voice, Draining Kiss, Energy Ball, Giga Drain, Hyper Beam, Magical Leaf, Misty Explosion, Mystical Fire, Psychic, Psyshock, Round, Snore, Solar Beam, Stored Power, Tera Blast, Tri Attack

i would say encore
I just want a bulky support
yeah Protect,Alluring Voice,Encore and Decorate
252 hp / 252 def and 4 Sp. Atk?
you can try that
Speed?
If ur using alcremie it is usually for tr sweep
It’s too slow to properly support otherwise
fair enough-
Found this
i think might as well just max up bulk
It’s so hard for me to find a team I’m comfy with. I finally got to 1600 a week ago using zama but I’ve absolutely tanked in the last week. Nothing is clicking for me right now and it feels fucking awful

thx
it looked like how i envisioned pokemon championship for some reason 
like "yeah, its pokemon"
Wait I’m so confused
?
i think this is junior maybe?
livestream still going on
This finals played tho
oh fr?
yea
thats wat that set was im p sure
i guess its a recast then lol
i didnt realize
"Pokémon Japan Championships 2024", a competition to determine the best Pokémon battle in Japan, will be held at Pacifico Yokohama from June 1st (Saturday) to June 2nd (Sunday), and the battle on the second day of the game division master category, as well as junior and senior・We will deliver the finals of each master category!
“Pokémon Japan Championships 2024” official website

theres nothing said about recast, so i dont think it is? 
i mean the dates line up to rn
yeah
so doesnt seem it would be
2 june currently for japan
yep
also june 2nd in the states if ur on the east
Hes the Juniors Champion
it’s a repeat
huh is that support flutter? twave mystical fire?
Yeah its a recast
its Hex TWave
ah okok
It’s placement for my Latios
my goatios is very hard to use tbh
like not jk lol
Flutter is Easter to run all around and bring to more mus tbh
But I like Michael’s variant where he added chandelure
i saw that
in place of latios?
i mean the og is cool as well
hmm
latios, goltres and zama at the time were all cool picks
at the time
pelipper to an extent too
well zama at the time, its a top restricted now
latios and goltres are still really niche
i think one of the most cool thing is that, its not the mon popped out on different teams. all 3 in one 
with a crazy set team too CB rilla
yea it was just a really cool team and its still good
my jaw dropped when i saw the team
Greatest reg g team
like what the hell is this
not biased at all
i mean its def the coolest team ive seen so far
it is definitely one of the most coolest yeah
nah greatest
haha
i dont have a shiny latios so ill have to recreate the team w/ the chandelure variant

is the chandelure variant pasteposted?
prolly not
Maybe after worlds/NAIC
yea thats fair
yea usually if no paste from the og i jus recreate the spreads as best i can
I was prob going to drop pastes after the season was over
at that point its like, the seasons over tho haha itll b reg h time. i def get waiting on yalls end tho if ur gna keep using it
its been all over
def can find it on stream, whether they are stream pov is another thing
We appeared on streams but didn’t be stream povs lol
it got 2 top 8s after keanus top 8 and won an event
If u really looked only pov was me with my local win and Michael’s regional win
ur really only getting speed tiers maybe and hp evs from watching anyway. its def a start but not like u can get it all even if u did find it
can maybe gauge other things from watching
yeah, and prob like rough range of calcs but its a bit hard since its a roll thing
but it also depends on how well we know the sets of the opp
u can get ballpark but if u have a decent understanding of evs ur prolly not gna b too far off anyway
welp finals now
not gna be as optimized as the original and u gta accept that and just do it urself
whys that welp
its gonna be well,blame my butter fingers
forgot today was a new season
gotta start a grind to get a high rating early on lol
i need to build my team in sv
time to do more battles
i'll stream with no mic in a vc if anyone wants to see Zoroark do things
yo the H-goodra sprite on showdown is so cute
so, what won japan nationals
first battle, first rage quit. loving it already lol
LOL
Whats a good stratagey against terapagos? I'm really struggling with them, wich could admitidley be because I don't understand there gimik since I just bough the dlc lol.
depends
specs terapagos you just need to go for damage trades
calm mind terapagos, you probably try to shut down set up or use the slow going momentum to set up yourself or take ko's
I had an idea to use primirena against them to get a guranteed confusion to stop them, considering how little my Ursaluna has been doing i could maybe switch him for Prim, they both cover my cal. ices fire weakness
You shouldn't be depending on something like Confusion.
oof
new season?
that helping hand into a fresh fake out
Yep
My legends arceus Tornadus has 0 attack iv let's gooo
I'm building the Terapagos team in console
nice
just done some few matches
I just made a slight change
what is it
Nooo now i'm at rank 8
i'll have to see how much i drop
i did not really grind that much since i am still building my team
ok did i just see a Scream tail uses Sandstorm-
I am at rank 9
And got beaten by an orthworm Tera ground EQ ray with upper hand hawlucha
Terap is so cute but so scary 😭
dude its one of the big 4 in restricted Pokemon selection what do you expect
Also, i lead wrong against a specs Terapagos and it swept me in tailwind
Tailwind+Max Speed Turtle basically outspeeds everything-
but just 20 EVs its enough to outspeed the bikes
or no EVs on speed but still
cuz max speed Miraidon is 205
I don't have tailwind on my specs terapagos team but i do have prankster t-wave and booster speed flutter icy wind
its god subsitute i guess,but i have TW and T-Wave so yeah-
Lost against a calm mind Cresselia
last time i even self para my Chi Yu in TR
Thanks BO1 CTS

i think its fine
Weirdly I don't see it much but when I do I always choke lol
tortol
I have to repost my Koraidon rental, deleted it because Tornadus had rain dance instead of sunny day
Caly S is more popular thanks to LA
morrispxg456 has given 1 Gen Rep to cyberbirb6850
Now it should have sunny day

Which sets is better tho
The one you win with.
Like what Tofu said
But if i had to give my opinion it would be the 1st
Bulky terap is really good hard to bonk
mostly the bottom one i found more success on so yeah imma stick with it
It's Not like Koraidon give me any problems Foreshadowing
i mean did you see the stats on that thing?
Normal
Tera Shell
95/95/110/105/110/85

Terapagos
Normal
Teraform Zero
160/105/110/130/110/85

Terapagos
most Pagos now has Earth Power mainly for Miraidon and Bolt
Dark Pulse for Calyrex or Lunala
and Hyper Beam for Normal STAB
for General only first 2 is kinda for all Terapagos (Idk about Meteor Beam version)
And to delete tanks like Raging Bolt and CIR
but Hyper Beam is for Specs Terapagos
i think Meteor Beam is enough to beat CIR most of the time
assume they are not Water/Grass/Dragon Tera
Fair
but weather ball
but in Japan Nationals i saw lots of them landing Meteor Beam without Caly Ice Tera
+1 252+ SpA Terapagos-Terastal Meteor Beam vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Calyrex-Ice Rider: 156-184 (75.3 - 88.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
weather ball can work but its 50 BP before changing depend on the weather
Only need another good move and then CIR is gone
stellar form-
+1 252+ SpA Tera-Stellar Terapagos-Stellar Meteor Beam vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Calyrex-Ice Rider: 216-254 (104.3 - 122.7%) -- guaranteed OHKO
most of them uses Stellar form to beat it
+1 188+ SpA Tera-Stellar Terapagos-Stellar Meteor Beam vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Calyrex-Ice Rider: 206-244 (99.5 - 117.8%) -- 93.8% chance to OHKO
My set with PH MB barely OHKOs CIR
but i guess it can be versatile to change the move's typing depending on which weather
it’s what i run
i can try discover it later
since i face a lot of rain/snow/sun i thought it’d be cool
Power doubles if the user is grounded and a terrain is active, and this move's type changes to match. Electric type during Electric Terrain, Grass type during Grassy Terrain, Fairy type during Misty Terrain, and Psychic type during Psychic Terrain.

252+ SpA Choice Specs Tera-Water Kyogre Water Spout (150 BP) vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Miraidon in Rain: 156-184 (88.6 - 104.5%) -- 31.3% chance to OHKO
Ok what the actual fuck
Miraidon when lived:Phew that was a close one
its Masters Finals time
nothing goes wrong by killing a Muk Evasion team
Had me paniking for a sec
then again,Rain+Sandsear Storm is the best thing lol
Time for seeing Turtle go brrr
PLEASE TERAPAGOS PLS
WIN FOR OUR HOMIES
Opponents name lol
smh using scovillain instead of smeargle
let the turtle boi win it pls ;-;
Yes, win it adorable crystal turtle
Anyways back to experimenting with TR Ursaluna in UU
weirdest endgame ive ever played
got a bit of deja vu for me
Watch a replay of a Pokémon battle between OMGItsJousis and Abused24test! Format: [Gen 9] VGC 2024 Reg G; Date: Jun 2, 2024
weird shit 
https://pokepast.es/f7e9af3f7e1e6acd I am just going to experiment with TR Ursaluna in UU
Here is the team if you are curious to see
looks like Terapagos won game 1 i think idk
Nice
that was a game
can turtle win the set pls-
oh damn the para-
wait i forgot does the urshifu have safety goggles
or any other item
BOLT DOWN
HUGE POLLEN PUFF
TURTLE PLEASE
Is this the finals or something? Because i see you 2 using Caps
Yes it is-
HM?
HE MIGHT DID IT
NICE
What was the set?
Meteor Beam Power Herb
turtle le goat
I was correct from Day 1
It does give the team a tool to handle CIR
so Terapagos won 2 events
So i can't deny the benefits it brings
Yet again, I am clairvoyant and no one remembers
we know you are from the future lol 
The shelled creatures are simply different
I don't think i even saw it ngl
I love the shelled gang
there was a regionals??
That's cause most of yall either have poor memory or don't pay attention
Japan National Championship
I do have poor memory if its not Pokemon or a video game
I MISSED IT
Terapagos won
NUUUUUUUUU
When i get a hdmi port extender for my pc I'll draw the two goobers.
i missed the monumental moment where pagos the galapagos turtle wonnn

pago pago
in this house,We stan for Terapagos
I see tofu's messages on Power Herb, the image is an example
I guess I could do it on paper too but I don't own any good markers anymore 🗣
exactly i said i used the set before
I never used it so i can't judge it
but i dropped it cuz everyone in here said no
Damn
Literally have seen nobody say no to Power Herb even before that message
Turtle vs slug epic rap battle, who will win 🥶🥶🥶
i can go back to meteor beam set but then again
Drago will say no
i have to remake my team from scratch
Oh that
yep
Since when even
Torrent claims to have said that, but idk at this point
what-
honestly
Let me look at it
i'll just ignore it
Can you transfer pokemon from violet to sword to reset evs alittle easier? (Assuming there I'm the sword dex) I ain't trying to grind out the auction.
now i have to get another Turtle from alt
Assuming its not a gen 9 and it can be in the game, i think so
I might be wrong but i think its true
you need armorite ore for lady clear i think
Yes, 10 specifically
Bologna is starting rn
honestly just forget it
Torrent claims that you did
For some reason
maybe i said no in like, pre pre reg g
i wouldn't now, ik power herb meteor beam is good
I'm fine using Calm Mind
did it win a tournament or smth?
Yes
it won the Japan Nationals Championship
oh, cool
Its Japan, something funky will win
it deserves a win
we'll have to see what wins the special event
yeah i think top ten restricteds is just gonna be
Calyrexes,Miraidon,Koraidon,Terapagos,Lunala,Kyogre,Groudon,Zacian and Zamazenta
so basically either Gen 3,Gen 8,Gen 9 or Lunala
i feel like thats already been established
exactly-
but yeah its these guys are gonna be top 10
Mienshao in top 12 and Rillaboom surpassed Incineroar
this format is really volatile i honestly can see incin dropping in usage, in japan
well i am talking about Bologna but eh i can see why
yeah in day 2
huh
rilla at 50% is wild
honestly make sense tho
Miraidon exists and gradual Healing with Terrain
i mean its realistic, rilla is good
I have a deep hatred for both rilaboom and incin. That is both related and unrelated to competitive
Drago Hates Incin now but i kinda just go for a truce with Incin
i hate incin because i run zacian
My issues mostly with the buff monke, but incineroar is a close 2nd.
i had 0 problems with it when i was running primarina
fair enough
i have no colors for shiny rilla, damn
thats is a weird ass color
ayo
Incin Shiny is way better also Swiss 12th round Kyogre vs Lunala
Dragonite Lunala moment
yea so once i get this rilla done i have to decide on a 6th then i can show off the art
cool
when does it start?
4 to 5 days
well one day is dedicated to packing
so yeah technically 4 days
ugh thats, i need a 6th shit
i need to play into caly ice, thats the mu im kinda concerned about rn
figured out my lines for, everything else
but it has to be special attacker cuz your team is heavy Physical
not really
Ogerpon Fire/Rock?
do you have any redirection tho
its like, removing incin is annoying and some have gholdengo which is a mu im not too used to
its a HO team no i dont have redirection
although, could try volc
i feel like there is two,you mentioned Volcarona and i mention Hearthflame
But it depends on who you wanna
idk what hearth helps with
i can wisp shit with volcarona
as i'd be going support route
eh your choice,if Volca does not click then maybe try hearthflame,if not then idk
also
is that a dragonite i see-
boi go for the Paonite
Honestly
no, i dont really want another ice weaknesses when im already concerned about ice rider
not that it isnt a bad idea
You beat redirection leads
are you, are you sure sash isnt the way?
I am not even talking about-
Whatever-
It's a suggestion.
torrent that just felt a tad towards me since im stuck debating a 6th
hmm, i mean, lorb for more damage is nice
Sash is the most common by a landslide, i reccomend you test L-Orb and sash and see which one you prefer
Thats how i figure out which item i want on any pokemon
honestly with Lorb on Pao,I think you have more options
Rockpon always dies to SS without Tera on Urshifu and Stellar Throat Chop OHKOs CIR
have you felt the need for jolly or not really?
Nope
not even for like, miraidon?
Nope. Miraidon is Modest anyways
oh, i didn't know that
252+ Atk Life Orb Sword of Ruin Tera-Stellar Chien-Pao Sucker Punch (1st Use) vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Kyogre: 159-187 (90.8 - 106.8%) -- 37.5% chance to OHKO
is no sacred to allow pao to do dark damage without prio stoppers
hmm, alr, i'll try it out
