[solid frigate]

[molten oasis]

But uh, it’s joever

[graceful flare]

[torn parrot]

Seems like the indeedee would make it hard to click fake out

[polar canyon]

Beads of ruin sun life orb tera thunderclap looks awesome

[real prism]

uh naic stram and yeah i don't mind

[molten oasis]

I need a pokepaste

[molten oasis]

Big damage good, you do damage and kill you win

[rustic mountain]

wow good call

[graceful flare]

Bro my team ain't gonna be winning worlds if I tell uou my ev spread

[molten oasis]

Yea, great call on Cody’s part

[polar canyon]

Just to be sure you aren't serious right?

[molten oasis]

I can tell you nothing how about that?

[solid frigate]

[graceful flare]

Why can I just type it

[rustic mountain]

doesnt it get old to be this bad of a troll man

[graceful flare]

Bro I'm not trolling☠️

[molten oasis]

So why are you refusing a paste?

[charred saddle]

cant see, wont see 🕶️

[graceful flare]

Bc I don't use showdown

[rustic mountain]

u are, u havent qualified for worlds how is ur team winning it

like come on be fr

[autumn vault]

[forest arrow]

You arent qualifying for worlds if you dont even know how much EVs is allocated in total to a pokemon lmao...

[molten oasis]

Fr

[mighty stump]

Trolls don’t need to be engaged with. Period.

[autumn vault]

Idk who you're talking to but they seem annoying

[rustic mountain]

yea fair enough i usually dont

[mighty stump]

You’re also very guilty of engaging with said party.

[lofty tartan]

But you talk to me, though

[molten oasis]

Most of us are

[graceful flare]

Here let me rephrase this

[molten oasis]

You’re not a troll you’re chill

[autumn vault]

I was a troll at the beggining of April

[molten oasis]

One of the homies

[torn parrot]

Just think about how you’ll beat the biggest threats, and what counters your team

That’s what matters more than type coverage

[warped mason]

Did wo chien kyogre make top 8?

[rustic mountain]

anyway

[lofty tartan]

I choose to be a semi-normal human adult male lmfao

[autumn vault]

And also actually mature

Looking at you Monke

[molten oasis]

Monke has 2 brain cells

[rustic mountain]

good set, cody made some really good plays, that g1 really was just such a beat down

[charred saddle]

yeah

[forest arrow]

Helping hand Korai the wave lol

[rustic mountain]

nd to an insanely good player too

[charred saddle]

codys team is somehow really cool too

[solid frigate]

[molten oasis]

That was an awesome set for such a poor mu

[autumn vault]

Question: Am i braindead?

[torn parrot]

For example Instead of thinking how you’ll beat electric types, think about how you’ll beat Miraidon/raging bolt

[lofty tartan]

I'll have to catch up on the NAIC streams. I always hold off until I can fast forward through the fat between rounds.

[solid frigate]

mostly when you fanboy on Zekrom

[rustic mountain]

well its alex haha hes not gna go down w/o a fight

[graceful flare]

Yes zekrom kinda alright

[molten oasis]

Oh for sure

[rustic mountain]

top player in the world

[graceful flare]

Zarude litch so underrated

[rustic mountain]

most ppl prolly jus get 2-0d there

[molten oasis]

I mean that’s an insanely brutal mu

So much damage on the board so fast

[rustic mountain]

yep

[charred saddle]

i think after the g1, alex is very scared to lead caly and get calm mind off

[molten oasis]

Can’t wait to fight that team

[rustic mountain]

he had to rely on cody not getting calls right and that jus didnt happen enough

[molten oasis]

Yea

[charred saddle]

like he needs to get rid some of the pieces first and his calls are being read too yeah

[rustic mountain]

yea its just tough

[charred saddle]

very fun match

[molten oasis]

For sure

[graceful flare]

Does incin and ogerpon wellspring count as fire water grass core bc ogerpon is grass/water

[molten oasis]

Cool seeing how you get out of such a bad situation

As in, fighting the turbo HO sun team

[rustic mountain]

triple battles? wtf

[molten oasis]

Huh?

[polar canyon]

Sometimes it's hard to tell apart trolls and 14 year olds

[forest arrow]

yeah 5th gen introduced triple battles

and like spin battles

[molten oasis]

Spin battles are wack

[rustic mountain]

cody mentioning he was #1 on double and triple battles on ds online

[solid frigate]

kinda wanna see it return lol

[polar canyon]

Actual rock paper scissors

[autumn vault]

I still remember Charles the Heartbreaker for some reason

[molten oasis]

I see

[rustic mountain]

sounds wacky haha

[autumn vault]

Friend guard would be very busted in triple battles

[mighty stump]

Even so, people need to make up their minds if they choose to engage with a party or not

[charred saddle]

im crying and dying inside

[molten oasis]

Why?

[charred saddle]

i wanna improve so badly for competitive but i dont have time to practice

[rustic mountain]

cody mentioning battle frontier, based

[molten oasis]

Based

[molten oasis]

Play some bo1 every so often when you got time

Discussion can also help improve

Gain new perspectives

[charred saddle]

tbh playing every so often doesnt do much as that what i do

[rustic mountain]

id say jus atleast keeping engaged w/ the meta so wen u do have time u arent jumping back in like wtf is goin on

[molten oasis]

Yea

[charred saddle]

but like i mean as in a serious day of grinding and learning, i really dont have the time for it kek

[molten oasis]

That sucks

[charred saddle]

im still following the game meta and watching regionals here and there but like uni is ass

[forest arrow]

I need help with how to take better note taking then i think ill be fine

[molten oasis]

Idk how to take notes either lol

[charred saddle]

i dont even do reviews on my games anymore

[warped mason]

Lets see more wo chien

[autumn vault]

https://tenor.com/view/wochien-pokemon-pokemon-scarlet-and-violet-cursed-images-my-honest-reaction-gif-5359670189486873357

[charred saddle]

[graceful flare]

[warped mason]

https://tenor.com/view/チオンジェン-wo-chien-doubt-squint-squints-gif-7134518064446479628

[graceful flare]

I meant if I tell you my ev spread I'm nkt gonna win worlds

[autumn vault]

I can't find more wo-chien gifs

How about you?

[charred saddle]

i only did 20% of said goal for my thesis

[forest arrow]

yes yes just watching NAIC

[charred saddle]

[polar canyon]

I think you kinda have to focus on the small steps and learn the game more and more instead of just thinking you can go and win worlds, you've still got a ton of time in your hands and have to do things in order

[solid frigate]

well yeah

[shrewd scarab]

I just got done grocery shopping and am ready for a nap on the couch myself lol

[solid frigate]

damn i wanna sleep as well

[charred saddle]

[shrewd scarab]

I rarely take naps but just got back from a soccer game and shopping and it’s raining so today might be the day

[forest arrow]

I just cant help it lol Sometimes its a curse

[autumn vault]

Naps are never bad

And i woke up at 6 am because of chirping birds

So i think a nap would be very nice for my eyes

[shrewd scarab]

Shit I wake up at 5:30am at the latest everyday

[solid frigate]

unless if you waste too many hours on Teambuilding In midnight like me

[shrewd scarab]

4:30 on work days

[autumn vault]

I waste my mornings teambuilding and walking my dog

And also Breakfast ig

[solid frigate]

[shrewd scarab]

I should build a team. I haven’t turned my switch on in months now

Astral Barrage Close Combat

Astral Barrage Close Combat

Just do it

Itll be funny

[bold geode]

Are you Wolfe Glick cuz you have the World Champ Difference or do you have the World Champ Difference cuz you're Wolfe Glick?

[mighty stump]

I would have been such a god

[forest arrow]

Tofu won the regional and isnt even there lol

[mighty stump]

I mean its a stupid play

[charred saddle]

Tofu so good that his each of his toe can play showdown games

[mighty stump]

But like

Juan made a good play just not fully safe

Incin cant FO and KO simultaneously

You use Urshifu to always pressure Surging Strikes since you cant lose or Tera Incin against a CSR

So theres only two viable Tera options which is your Bolt or Gholdengo

Since Amoonguss is needed to resist Urshifu

AB punishes no Knock Off and Surging punishes no FO

Close Combat is just unnecessarily extra since you’re -1

But it would have been funni

[charred saddle]

wait tofu

all top 8 in SG regionals get worlds invite? what

thought only winner gets them?

[mighty stump]

Idk

[charred saddle]

EUIC gets less but they get money

funny

[mighty stump]

Lol

[rustic mountain]

eric jus cannot break this amoongus

[mighty stump]

Maybe if Eric wasnt allergic to clicking offensive moves

[rustic mountain]

lmfao

[mighty stump]

Runs Flare Blitz but doesn’t use it

[rustic mountain]

yea

[mighty stump]

I don’t even understand this turn

[willow vault]

Woah Eric just clicked flare blitz, I was not expecting Eric to make such an aggressive play

[rustic mountain]

if he wins this ill b shocked

juan played shroom way better this game

[willow vault]

I will say I much prefer Juan’s team it’s just so much more interesting to me, like I really don’t like Smeargle

[mighty stump]

Yeah I don’t see Eric recovering from Gholdengo just spamming MIR

Lol

[rustic mountain]

yea

[mighty stump]

MIR + Pollen Puff into Incin is free here

[willow vault]

No pollen puff this turn?

[mighty stump]

Solid

[rustic mountain]

womp womp womp

[willow vault]

Great Tera

[mighty stump]

Lul

[charred saddle]

eric rios gets bullied

[rustic mountain]

yea eric gta rethink his gameplan, juan is not letting him play the long game like he prefers

[mighty stump]

Eric Rios got 4-0’d G1

[charred saddle]

without restricted too

[rustic mountain]

eric did it to some1 d1

now he has a taste of his own medicine

[mighty stump]

Huh

[charred saddle]

bro

fake out spore?no way

[mighty stump]

I woudl Volt Switch and Pollen Puff Gholdengo

[willow vault]

Juan cooked this game

[charred saddle]

oh nvm haha

[mighty stump]

You can’t FO Spore its Covert Cloak

[charred saddle]

oh its cloack

didnt see the item

[willow vault]

Tera normal + redirection is really good against Calyrex-s damn

[mighty stump]

Gholdengo would have been the correct switch for Pollen Puff

Then you MIR + Rage Powder

To deny DKiss recovery

[solid frigate]

reeeeeeeeeeee

[mighty stump]

Eric needs to step on the gas lol

[rustic mountain]

wait wat restricted is juan opting not to bring i missed the full teams

[mighty stump]

No Urshifu

Oh

I mean

No Amoonguss

Fair

[rustic mountain]

[willow vault]

Caly-I

[rustic mountain]

oh ok ty

[solid frigate]

So Honse

[willow vault]

No problem

[solid frigate]

https://tenor.com/view/honse-away-go-gif-21374022

[molten oasis]

How are the matches going

[mighty stump]

DAMN if only Knock Off went into CSR

I would have done that

So its either Knock Off or Spore and you can FO cycle in the future

But jow Incin is open to Spore

[willow vault]

It would have been so nice

[mighty stump]

So fair play

Inshallah hes actually doing damage

[rustic mountain]

finally

[willow vault]

Amoongus gone, I like this aggressive play from Eric

[solid frigate]

the Impostor is dead

[molten oasis]

Sounds like a fun match

[mighty stump]

Inshallah he took a KO

[rustic mountain]

took him a whole game and then some to flare blitz an amoongus

i get tera water but come on

[warped mason]

Is wo chien ogre still in?

[rustic mountain]

idk

[mighty stump]

Ok impactful Shadow Ball LOL

There is 0 reason for Eric to Protect after one CM

Lefties Gholdengo unboosted I wouldn’t even expect 50

Cool FO cover

@bold geode Look its CM Covert Cloak Caly-S

[bold geode]

No

[mighty stump]

On stream

Look Monke

[bold geode]

No

[warped mason]

Seems like he's still in

[bold geode]

Me no no wanna

[willow vault]

Monke having ptsd from that

[rustic mountain]

i remember tofu telling me about cm csr and i said it could very well be the best csr

[mighty stump]

Tofu 🤝 Metacalls

[rustic mountain]

haha

[willow vault]

A 4-0 again

[rustic mountain]

once amoongus went down, juans team crumbled

[willow vault]

Damn

[rustic mountain]

eric also made some good reads

[bold geode]

Tofu just letting you know I'm in a part where my signal is iffy, and of course I came back to that ping

[mighty stump]

Wow look what happened if you actually just

Attack

[rustic mountain]

specifically barraging w/ the threat of dengo tera normal

[mighty stump]

https://tenor.com/view/sarcastic-kirk-gif-20910726

[rustic mountain]

and fo

[rustic mountain]

ahaha i mean tbf, he usually is able to play to his slowed down playstyle most times

juan jus was not letting it happen effectively g1

[mighty stump]

Yeah and I love slowplay

But sometimes it’s just inefficient

[rustic mountain]

for sure

think he jus lost too much health g1 before realizing

[willow vault]

A knock off into Calyrex turn 1 could have been so big, to be able to threaten fake out if Eric uses Tera fairy

[rustic mountain]

nd csr getting slept like that

[mighty stump]

KNOCK OFF RAGE POWDER

KNOCK OFF RAGE POWDER

[bold geode]

Yeah, Eric Rios playing that dogshit Spanish 6

[solid frigate]

[solid frigate]

of course it's Calyrex Plot armor-

[rustic mountain]

[mighty stump]

Potentially calced

[willow vault]

Such a great read

[willow vault]

It’s probably calc’d but it may still have been a roll

[rustic mountain]

ye

prolly in his favor

[willow vault]

Yeah

[foggy lodge]

I don't know how worthy was that calm mind

[rustic mountain]

i dont love that trade

[mighty stump]

Rocky Helmet pog

[willow vault]

Neither, now there is no reason to Tera gholdengo if it’s been brought

[solid frigate]

-1 0 Atk Incineroar Knock Off (97.5 BP) vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Calyrex-Shadow through Reflect: 136-160 (77.7 - 91.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

It definently have some Attack invest on Incin and Bulk on Caly S

[mighty stump]

Wtf is Reflect doing

Lol

[rustic mountain]

[willow vault]

Reflect?

[rustic mountain]

oh yea y is reflect in the calc

[willow vault]

I don’t remember seeing reflect?

[solid frigate]

WHY DID I NOT REFRESH MY SHI

[rustic mountain]

[mighty stump]

Eric is still technically in this

[rustic mountain]

yea

[mighty stump]

Amoonguss was the largest hurdle

[willow vault]

Such a great turn, this is the game we wanted

[mighty stump]

Great Shadow Ball

[rustic mountain]

-2 bolt and -2 hands for rest of the game

[willow vault]

It lived???

[mighty stump]

GREAT DRACO

[solid frigate]

the only hope for eric is Iron Hands

[foggy lodge]

damn

[rustic mountain]

oh nvm he can switch bolt out

[solid frigate]

but its bleak

[willow vault]

That’s such a great turn for Juan

[mighty stump]

HUGE LIVE

[foggy lodge]

Nah

[willow vault]

Holy

[rustic mountain]

yea this is wat my worry was, bolt being tough to ko in the end game now

[willow vault]

Tera??? Not the incin switch? Damn. It’s volt switch nvm

[solid frigate]

and 2 of the attackers are gone

[mighty stump]

Yeah Vswitch is free

Extra intim PShot

[willow vault]

True

[rustic mountain]

big knock off

[mighty stump]

Juan’s crafting the endgame now

[rustic mountain]

ye juan has this

[mighty stump]

Yeah

We also know Juan’s Incin is faster too

[willow vault]

True

[rustic mountain]

is this hands -3 or 4 rn

[mighty stump]

Questionable

[willow vault]

-3 I think

[solid frigate]

-2 or -3

[willow vault]

Weird play

[rustic mountain]

[rustic mountain]

[mighty stump]

Yer

Im just questioning the Incin sac

[rustic mountain]

idk y he volt switched

[willow vault]

Same

[mighty stump]

Since you could always Knock Off the AV

[willow vault]

True

[mighty stump]

Maybe no Tbolt

[rustic mountain]

oh right

[mighty stump]

Snarl over TBolt, V-Switch solo non-prio STAB

[rustic mountain]

prolly not then otherwise he wouldve went for it

[willow vault]

Ohh

[rustic mountain]

volt switch/tclap/snarl and draco prolly then

[mighty stump]

Idk i don’t remember the team sheet

[solid frigate]

[rustic mountain]

tofu drop it

"literacy is dead"

[patent marsh]

reading is hard moment

[foggy lodge]

How much wasted potential is a Raging Bolt without Tclap?

[solid frigate]

does somebody know Spanish-

[willow vault]

I mean I did say I hate literacy

[mighty stump]

Literacy is dead

[patent marsh]

[pallid hare]

https://tenor.com/view/wolfeyvgc-smirk-gif-18035950

[solid frigate]

Pretty sure i heard more about Juan and the translator only said parts of it sometimes

Probably day 1 stuff idk

[rustic mountain]

yea they arent gna get everything, its paraphrased

[mighty stump]

That Roaring Moon hat goes hard though

[rustic mountain]

[mighty stump]

I’d love to have one

[solid frigate]

https://tenor.com/view/kirby-magolor-insanity-gif-27227666

[rustic mountain]

His trusty incineroar

[willow vault]

Do we know anyone in top 8?

[rustic mountain]

do we know top 8

[mighty stump]

Theyre tallying it right now

[rustic mountain]

so yea

[willow vault]

Well some people only lost like 1-2 games so I was wondering if we knew anyone with less that 3 losses

[rustic mountain]

hard to say if ik of any1 if its not even determined yet

im not keeping track outside the stream

so idk who has that record rn

but yea any1 x-1 x-2 is guaranteed top 8

[willow vault]

I’m guessing I don’t know pretty much anyone’s record

[rustic mountain]

i cant listen to this shit

ill tune back in inna bit

[willow vault]

Alright

[rustic mountain]

i wish they did more to keep the stream lively in b/w rounds

only so much trivia to do before it gets boring af

[willow vault]

Apparently eduardo cunha only lost 1 game says twitch chat, but I don’t trust them

[mighty stump]

That was to Yotam

[willow vault]

Damn

[mighty stump]

It was his only loss

[rustic mountain]

wat was yotam running

[willow vault]

Yotam the goat

[mighty stump]

Miraidon/Volc

[rustic mountain]

cool

[willow vault]

I think I saw you say this yesterday

[willow vault]

Nice

[mighty stump]

Went 6-3 but he didn’t mind since he had to leave Day 2 anw

[bold geode]

Tang beat Cunha

[willow vault]

Love me some Volcarona

[rustic mountain]

6-3 is solid still

[willow vault]

6-3 pretty damn great

[bold geode]

Jeudy actually has a chance to cut

[willow vault]

Did Jeudy lose 3 games early?

[rustic mountain]

jeudy usually always has a chance to cut

feel like i see him on the brink almost every tour

[bold geode]

Well there's no 14-1 players

The highest ones are all 13-2

[willow vault]

Damn

So it’s all down to resistance

[bold geode]

Since Shilliang Tang beat Cunha

[rustic mountain]

aurelian was doing well

[willow vault]

Oh

[rustic mountain]

hes prolly in the mix

[bold geode]

He's 12-3

[rustic mountain]

aurelian?

[bold geode]

Ye

Bro lost like 3 straight

[rustic mountain]

yea so then prolly gna be a decent chunk of x-3s who miss top cut

[rustic mountain]

yea was gna say dude was undefeated wtf

tough

[bold geode]

Ope got it

Gimme sec

[willow vault]

I think this is top 8 bracket

[rustic mountain]

my neck

[willow vault]

I’m sorry

[rustic mountain]

haha nws

[rustic mountain]

ok so about half i figured

(aurelien, tang, edu, burns)

[willow vault]

Who we think is gonna win?

[rustic mountain]

not familiar really w/ any of the other 4

[willow vault]

Neither

[charred saddle]

soula or tang

[rustic mountain]

imma go edu

[bold geode]

I got Tang or Edu

[willow vault]

Antonio Sanchez seems like a familiar name but I’m not sure

[mighty stump]

Honestly

[willow vault]

I’m gonna say edu wins

[rustic mountain]

i might know them off online names but yea not ringing a bell off those 4 names

[mighty stump]

I want Soula to win just because maybe he deserves it but i wonder if he plays off tilt

[willow vault]

I’m scared to say Aurelian wins since they have lost 3 on the bounce but we will see how they deal with that going into top 8

[rustic mountain]

yea

[bold geode]

Maybe
I mean that's 3 straight losses
Like I imagine any way you look at it, some bad vibes are there
Had to rely on resistance vs before where he was guaranteeing himself getting in

[rustic mountain]

the loss streak is wat had me but hes gone undefeated before and lost so maybe this actually benefits him

can think of the losses and how to play better instead of potentially being content cuz ur undefeated

[willow vault]

Fair

[foggy lodge]

How many times do i have to see the same video about Pachirisu

[willow vault]

Nearly every tournament it feels like

[rustic mountain]

lmao

that and gios dnite

[willow vault]

True

[rustic mountain]

thats wat im sayin their shit is tired

no reason they should be rerunning the same clips

not like they do atleast

[mighty stump]

We have this rerun and yet people still do not understand Sejun’s logic

[rustic mountain]

yea

[willow vault]

I agree like I love the pachirisu story but it’s so overtold, it makes so many people believe it was this pick that nobody even potentially considered, people knew follow me was good, pachirisu was known

[mighty stump]

I had someone use that argument

[dull haven]

[mighty stump]

Against me

And I was like

Who tf even are you

My block list grew that day

[willow vault]

Hello

[mighty stump]

They even tried to misinform a new plyer

[rustic mountain]

it was a good call into a specific meta game and for his team. people jus see an underused mon and are like oh this goes for any other underused mon

[dull haven]

Hello lol

[willow vault]

So true

[mighty stump]

Khuja

[rustic mountain]

its jus a complete disconnect

[dull haven]

Tofu

[mighty stump]

heehee

Mother has arrived

[rustic mountain]

its fine to make or try nd make ur fav work, jus dont be delusional about it

[charred saddle]

KhujaVGC moment? /j

[dull haven]

Lol

[willow vault]

Sandshrew time?

[mighty stump]

“For the role he was looking to fill”

Hmmmm

I will choose to ignore that sentence

• Said every casual player ever

[willow vault]

What sentence?

[mighty stump]

. . .

[lofty tartan]

Every tournament. No exceptions.

[mighty stump]

We’re doomed

[willow vault]

I’m was joking I knew the sentence I was also ignoring it

[lofty tartan]

This is why I hate the filler. It's just the same stuff, over and over, and it gives a lot of wrong impressions

I hate the story of Pachirisu

[autumn vault]

Sejun didn't use Pachirisu because it was his favourite

[willow vault]

It filled a specific niche, we know

[bold geode]

Hi Khuja

[dull haven]

Hi Monke

[autumn vault]

A niche that Pachirisu filled itself

No wait thats supposed to be for creph

[lofty tartan]

[autumn vault]

Not you Herbie

[willow vault]

[bold geode]

Are you a casual player cuz you are ignoring the sentence or are you ignoring the sentence cuz you're a casual player

[willow vault]

I am not Crephace, your looking for someone else

[willow vault]

Yes

[autumn vault]

Oh thats right, your name is Cromphace

[willow vault]

Nah it’s Criphace

[bold geode]

More like Crapass

[autumn vault]

For once you actually make a funny joke

[willow vault]

So accurate, how did you know?

[mighty stump]

Overqwil vs Cunha

[foggy lodge]

The Overqwil made top 8??

[willow vault]

Yeah

[autumn vault]

Yup

[mighty stump]

Idk if it’s just me but Cunha is just glowing

Lol

Man looks like a different person since the Gen 8 season

[warped mason]

2 kyogres in top 8 lets goooo

[willow vault]

Let’s gooo

[autumn vault]

Bro beating the very false mid allegations

[willow vault]

And one has quad dark types to support it

[autumn vault]

You have a skill issue if you believed that Kyogre is mid realy reg G

[solid frigate]

Kyogre already beats mid allegations

[willow vault]

We knew Kyogre wasn’t mid

[autumn vault]

I expected it to be great but a bit worse than before, seems like that one was true

[bold geode]

Ooooh Wide Guard Smeargle is the one Smeargle that I don't hate as much

[willow vault]

Kyogre gave me the most success I’ve ever had in this format

[warped mason]

Classic torn ogre lead

[autumn vault]

For me its Koraidon but kyogre is definetely no joke

[solid frigate]

like i know its still good,its just i was expecting its hard to climb Sun Teams

(Honestly not really bad)

[autumn vault]

Resisted Water Spout from Kyogre is still dangerous

[warped mason]

Tera ghost is very intersting here

[solid frigate]

Kyogre becomes a Ghost Feesh

[warped mason]

Lets see if he fake outs

[autumn vault]

Ghost

[bold geode]

Wait Overqwil is actually smart for once lmao
Hit Caly S for SE pre and post tera

[willow vault]

Specs + torn + eleki, means I don’t have to think. No surprise it’s more successful for me

[autumn vault]

No FO?

[solid frigate]

Feesh

[foggy lodge]

Damn

[autumn vault]

That wate spout just decimated half of bolt's health

Damn

[solid frigate]

Ghost Feesh moment

[autumn vault]

Ik it isn't AV but still

[willow vault]

Ghostly feesh

[bold geode]

HEY THEY'RE PLAYING PECHARUNT THEME LFG

I remember this theme from everywhere lol

[solid frigate]

the Ghost Tera fits so much

[bold geode]

WHY IS OVERQWIL SO FUCKING BIG

[autumn vault]

Low elo players: i thought you were dead
Kyogre: My death was, greatly exaggerated
So, you're that punk i heard about sweeps their team with water spout

[solid frigate]

i usually play this Theme in Ranked but i Still use Terapagos

[willow vault]

Yes, and?

[autumn vault]

Good Megamind movie reference

[bold geode]

Tofu has literally told me that the Loyal Three theme song sounds like monkey music

[mighty stump]

Cunha pins

Lol

Like

[solid frigate]

Monke

[bold geode]

I mean he ain't wrong
I fuck with it so

[solid frigate]

and yes there is a monke in the trio

[willow vault]

Indeed

[solid frigate]

Munkidori is a monke so it make sense

[willow vault]

Eduardo looking good rn

[solid frigate]

but its god awful in Comp-

[autumn vault]

All i listen to on ladder is Zekrom's theme (obv) and Kieran 3's theme

And occasionaly some pecharunt

[bold geode]

Yeah and Pecharunt is a remix of it so I also fuck with it

[autumn vault]

Ghost feesh down

[willow vault]

Clean game 1

[solid frigate]

Terapagos(Both Version),Paldea Elite 4,Pecharunt,Light Trio

[mighty stump]

That wasn’t even close

[solid frigate]

but Ghost Feesh funni

[bold geode]

Cunha is a fucking menace bro

[solid frigate]

Ghost Feesh Funni

[mighty stump]

I still regret not going for that soul read against Cunha

[willow vault]

World champ for a reason

[mighty stump]

I’m 1-1 against Edu and that win was in Gen 8

[willow vault]

Impressive

I’m 0-0 against edu

[bold geode]

I wanna fight him lol

I'm like fuckin Goku bro
They good? Lemme fuckin fight em

[solid frigate]

i might step back from against him-

[autumn vault]

I'm not so good when it comes to actually playing

[bold geode]

Khuja lurk

[solid frigate]

remember when Gen 6-7 Gunk Shot is a Trash Can? yeah good times

[autumn vault]

I don't

[dull haven]

Shhh, lol

[rustic mountain]

[autumn vault]

I only remember gen 4/5/8/9

[bold geode]

"Don't tell em"

[dull haven]

I missed you guys, so I'm hanging out

[willow vault]

I’m so bad at playing the game, much better at theory crafting

[solid frigate]

awwwww

[autumn vault]

Same

[rustic mountain]

[mighty stump]

You can’t be good at theory crafting if you suck at the game, I’m sorry

[solid frigate]

moment

[rustic mountain]

overqwil wtf am i looking at rn

[willow vault]

Jokes on you, I suck at both

[autumn vault]

My teambuilding skills are very good but me playing the game isn't as good

[bold geode]

It hits Caly S for SE pre and post tera 🤷‍♂️

[rustic mountain]

its cool just havent seen that thing much at all

[solid frigate]

if the Speed drop on Caly S would be huge

[bold geode]

Yeah imma still shit on it though 🤣

[willow vault]

Also Tofu, in the statement I didn’t claim to be good at theory crafting just much better than my play

[rustic mountain]

i cant really shit on something if u get top 8 at nats w/ it

[autumn vault]

Raging Bolt > Your skill unless you're a Comp helper or Tree co

[mighty stump]

I can

[autumn vault]

Comp helper skill > Raging bolt

[mighty stump]

Being a hater is in my blood

[rustic mountain]

lmao

[bold geode]

Do you have that Kendrick hate though?

[autumn vault]

If there had to be a personality related thing on my blood it would either be annoying braindead or kind

[mighty stump]

Kendrick has my hate

[bold geode]

Kendrick borrowed my hate

[autumn vault]

Double protect man

[willow vault]

My blood is just braindead

[bold geode]

drops 100th diss track of the week "Here's that hate back Tofu"

[autumn vault]

Pray that the Hydro Pump does not miss

[rustic mountain]

[warped mason]

Loss by the classic hydro miss

[autumn vault]

Now i'm wondering, when will someone roast me so hard that i can't say anything?

[rustic mountain]

edu wen he can basically run his 2022 worlds team - thundurus:

[bold geode]

Not worth the breath

[autumn vault]

Why not just use water spout on CSR?

Thats weak

[bold geode]

Lol
Bro's in a tight spot, just pulls out Defiant Thundy

[autumn vault]

Nvm

[torn parrot]

Shiliang is defintely taking this whole tournament his team is terrifyingly annoying

[warped mason]

He didn't think a half health spout would kill

[rustic mountain]

haha maybe a different defiant mon for zacian hate

[bold geode]

It's either Tang or Edu tbh

[willow vault]

Definitely is a strong word

[autumn vault]

I said nvm

[rustic mountain]

he was csr/rilla/incin/thundy/zacian/urshifu iirc

[warped mason]

But he could have went crunch into caly and ice beam into rilla tho no?

[bold geode]

Annihilape

[autumn vault]

[willow vault]

I mean I expected turbo incin to be popular but damn

[torn parrot]

It seems like a pattern that incin gets more useful in restricted

[willow vault]

It’s by far the most common incin spread apparently

[torn parrot]

AYO AYO AYO THE LEGENDARY MAX HP MAX SPEED INCIN IS BACK

[molten oasis]

I think everyone here is out

LMAO

[rustic mountain]

wo chien might b on stream

if he brings it that is

[molten oasis]

the most common incin spread is 252 jolly

[willow vault]

I guess if you let Kyogre and Amoongus stay around, they will do what they must, yes turn 1 was a fumble I played it very bad

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2024regg-2139561466

[willow vault]
