Me who won second in a B03 Room Tournament with Lunala
And Yes i Beat a Calyrex with my Team
Welp my girlfriend and i are gonna make a Team with only Normal And Fairy types-
cuz she wants Audino and its not in SV
rn only picked Terapagos and Sylveon-
and now Azumarill-
Lunala is okay, CSR is better
Lunala is good
I'm going to die
Just not as good as it was in early reg G
well i don't have other options so i asked my girlfriend for 3 Pokemons
and this happened
Ah, I see
Atleast Flutter Mane is actually very good unlike the other 2
I can work with Sylveon
Sylveon is niche
but Azu.... idk
But it can work ok
Azumarill atleast has water Fairy
i might bust the Specs Pagos
Azu sucks
Calyrex mog flutter mane
Azumarill is quite bad in doubles, good in singles in the past
I'll try work it out
They get a pass theyre cute
Booster Speed flutter mane destroys non-sash CSR
Without Tera obv
Gardevoir-
Screw this i am bringing Iron Valiant in replace on Garde
W
Go look at results. The supportive flutters are usually icy wind taunt moonblast protect
Some do run shadow ball
But it doesn’t need to run shadow ball
Man the regionals are wackier than i thought
I ran into that set a good amount of times at NAIC
she changed to Chansey
LOL
yeah no redirection on all of them-
Was there any goodra enjoyers
I did not see any goodra no
No Goodra sadly
I saw a scrafty, that was cool
I wanna die
The people will realize Goodras might surely sooner or later
I need Bulky Specs Pagos in Trick Room
That too
Try your best
i might need to bust out the Trick Room
Trick Room Pagos
L
i did limit hher to pick 3 but all of her picks are slow
Ok there is an Azumarill in a Rental Team
thats a start
https://pokepast.es/fa0adf1a26da36f9
I'm gonna hate myself
You have a GF?
yeah
and i am gonna hate myself asking her 3 mons to do Teambuild-
It's a rare thing for people who spend 25 hours a day on discord
But congrats man
yeah try tanking a belly drum huge power aqua tail
Belly drum ain't saving bro
He's got a life
This is so true
Water/Fairy
Thick Fat, Huge Power, Sap Sipper (Hidden)
100/50/80/60/80/50
420
i'm using Lorb Huge Power
Bro says u u literally spend 25 hours a day on discord
ye lorb is good too
@autumn vault I'm Gonna hate myself
Yes i saw it
any changes?
Get over it flutter mane is better
Without removing anything?
Flutter Mane's EVs look a bit weird
Don't get me wrong Terapagos Specs has to run 4 moves but it looks a bit weird, i would add sleep talk and remove Dark Pulse to counter Spore/Sleep Powder, you don't need to use Dark Pulse that much anyways
Tera Fairy Azumarill isn't a bad tera but you can get more value out of tera water since it boosts Aqua Jet and a 100% accurate move thats very reliable
Dark Pulse is for Calyrex,Flutter is Speed Boosting Support,but Azu Tera Fairy's Defensive Typing is cool
I can tell Dark Pulse is for Calyrex
Tera Water is still a good defensive tera
And helps your priority move
Guys I'm fucking cooked
https://pokepast.es/cd1fb177b4810ca7
i guess it works
Plus Tera Water Liquidation helps Azu do more damage Against Incineroar
That's what my brother picked lmao
-1 252+ Atk Huge Power Tera-Water Azumarill Liquidation vs. 236 HP / 20 Def Incineroar: 168-200 (84 - 100%) -- 6.3% chance to OHKO
now i feel like i have an Actual good team-
Whats wrong with important people in your lives being shit at picking mons in competitive?
My sister would probably do the same + Urshifu since she loves it
Fighting/Dark
Unseen Fist
100/130/100/63/60/97
550
Urshifu-Rapid-Strike
See, I thought "oh it wouldn't be too bad right?"
Oh boy
Imagine needing a reminder on Urshifu's stats
your sister is based-
This move is always a critical hit unless the target is under the effect of Lucky Chant or has the Battle Armor or Shell Armor Abilities.
Dark
Physical
75
100
5 (8)
Copied by Mirror Move.
Makes contact.
Boosted by Iron Fist.
Well she doesn't know about how good urshifu is in Competitive
no wonder why its not used
basically
Tofu's Girlfriend>My Girlfriend>Your Brother
Idk about my sister
if i have to take a guess, she's definetely higher than Monke's brother
your sister picked Urshifu so-
better than Mine
i rather use Scream Tail now-
I can try use my team for one match-
Chansey is tanky enough plus Seismic Toss is fixed Damage so resist does not matter
Everyone's competitive picks > Monke's brother's competitive picks
Thats true
And it gets Heal Pulse
i guess Flutter Mane and Terapagos are gonna be the offensive bois
Psychic/Normal
Own Tempo, Synchronize, Psychic Surge (Hidden)
70/55/65/95/105/85
475
Indeedee
Belly drum doesn’t save it from mediocrity
stop hating on azu
Its doubles
I’m not hating on it I’m speaking the truth
The format can be very different for a lot of pokemon
I mean in Singles Incineroar is in NU
ik

And in VGC It's one of the best pokemon ever
I ACTUALLY WON A MATCH WITH iT
Watch a replay of a Pokémon battle between vanseiii and Terapaaaaaaaaaa! Format: [Gen 9] VGC 2024 Reg G; Date: Jun 10, 2024
but its too passive-
i am not touching it
its too hard to win with it
tho the team is interesting
but also the team needs to make Terapagos more of a Tera Hog
Where is Joshua?
And no it's not Pizza
LOL
Watch a replay of a Pokémon battle between lycopoky slimesy and TrubbishTyler! Format: [Gen 9] VGC 2024 Reg G; Date: Jun 10, 2024
damn
Bro is too scared of Groudon and Gouging Fire
his team is technically good against it
Atleast i got to 1500 elo again
I was having a bit of doubt
It seemed like Groudon + Gouging Fire would do great against that team
If not, Groudon + Whim
he can bait you to Tera and switch in Pagos to tera and let Ogerpon beat it
The sun lowers the ogerpon's ivy cudgel
I was planning to use Gougin Fire to weaken their Wellspring and Hands and spam Howl to make Groudon stronger and hit like a truck
And i am also using AV Groudon
Terapagos removes weather when Tera
So that Tera starstorm might not do as much as you think
Fair
188+ SpA Choice Specs Tera-Stellar Terapagos-Stellar Tera Starstorm vs. 252 HP / 28 SpD Assault Vest Tera-Fire Groudon: 134-160 (64.7 - 77.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252+ SpA Choice Specs Tera-Stellar Terapagos-Stellar Tera Starstorm vs. 252 HP / 28 SpD Assault Vest Tera-Fire Groudon: 142-168 (68.5 - 81.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
still does a lot
Thats true
eh i am still happy that the team worked out
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2024regg-2140593274 I just ripped a CIR team apart with just Groudon and Gouging Fire
Watch a replay of a Pokémon battle between Auf94248 and lycopoky slimesy! Format: [Gen 9] VGC 2024 Reg G; Date: Jun 10, 2024
My next rentals are definetely going to be AV Groudon and CS Terapagos
And after those a Zekrom rental because i think it's an improvement to the last one
First: CS Terapagos
Second: AV Groudon
Third: Zekrom but better team
Fourth: Leaving that up to polls and letting them decide
ok
https://victoryroadvgc.com/2024-naic/
Top 256 teams of NAIC
I don't see you on the list 
I didn’t get there
Sadge
I had low res
Low res, low rizz
Skill issue
That’s ok it was my first regional
Its ok
Next regional will be better
It's your first time, the next can always be better
And maybe you can make it to day 2
Get your rizzinstace up my boy
Weeeeeeeeeelllllll
Oh I’m not adding the 6th to the drawing since honestly, volc was a failure so
F
F in the chat for Volc
THATS COOL AS HECK
Thats very well made
I wish i can draw my team-
I must admit its a work of art
I wish i can draw my team without them looking bad
same
Practice
i did draw Greninja before
that urshifu is perfect
I did draw my MausApe team in the past
There’s your first step then
Only Talonflame looked bad
I think shifu and pao look the best
The others looked very well
i think the worst part is that Terapagos is hard to draw
Is it?
its just a big turtle
Yk how hard it is to draw portions for the sword dog lol
the sheer amount of Details-
I could draw that easily
the Tera Shell i have to draw Perfectly
true
Just means you have to spend more time on details
rn i can photoshop my team
That drawing took me 8ish hours
how did you even make them overlap so well?
I started on shifu, then went to pao, then zacian, then rilla, then torn
Zacian was too big to be first so I had to draw her third
Shifu works well as a centerpiece
Then I can add the bigger guys next to them
Then for torn I just put it behind the guys and it worked out well since he floats
I don't mean to say anything bad but Zacian's mouth looks a bit squashed, nothing bad, really well done
should i Try Photoshop my team and then try to draw it?
Yes
Zacian’s mouth is really hard to get done correctly
I can't blame you
The sword holding is tough
Fitting in the sword looks pretty hard
L
Anyways back to catching this hobo in Violet
I'll add her into the squad as a Honourable member
Cress isn't bad its just that Farigiraf offers armor tail and that is very valuale
I forgot how big groudon is lol
In swsh it was as big as Incineroar
In SV it's size is made correctly
Yea the sizing in s/v is done pretty well
that would mean inceniroar is 11 feet tall
I realized that Groudon has rest and i want to catch it in a Pokeball, shits going to take a long time
Wha?
That means that Groudon is like 1,50 meters or 5 feet
How would incin be 11 feet if the protagonist is like, the same height
pokemon sucks at height
They did better in this game at least
its extremely inaccurate all around
Done
s/v did a way better job
Cresselia for Honourable Mention
Now draw it no balls
how did you do that so quickly
You made a reference
i made the Photoshop reference
Anyway my phone is gonna die so, ttyl
Very nice photoshop
I'll try draw it rn,no colour yet
What website did you use for that?
Photopea
Understood
True
I also want to remind you of how well Groudon is scaled in SV
Want to catch this hobo with a poké ball
kek
I'll draw Amoonguss first
A very good place to start
I will draw my AV Groudon team in a week
And slap an Assault Vest on Groudon because why not
Amoonguss,Terapagos,Urshifu,Archaludon,Chi Yu,Tornadus,Cresselia
wait should i add the Xenoblade References for Terapagos,Cresselia and Urshifu but Transparent like
like they are see through
in Photoshop ver of course
look on the bright side
you get to spam pokeballs
unlike apri balls lol
I'm still Drawing Terapagos-
I just caught Groudon
It drained nearly 20 of my Poke balls
Understood
True, i had over 200 just in case if things went south
In scarlet (my main) i traded the groudon to someone, caught it in violet
Also very nice Drawing you have there so far
i would not draw Stellar form cuz thats gonna ruin my sanity
Now Urshifu Rapid Strike
Lol ty
now I shall return to malding in tekken 8 ladder after being lied to that king is broken

Ok i hate draw Urshifu-
It’s a weird guy to draw
i can't draw the eyes to make it look intimidating
but i think for a first try i think its good
current Progress
Archaludon looks small cuz it is smaller than Average in My Team
Hey guys whats the best build for this
I really like the name
On a serious note, i can help with people in Pokerogue but i don't think i can help with something like that
what is that-
Roaring Moolion
Roaring Moon x Cobalion
Very interesting choice
So thats Dragon/Fighting?
Yup it is
I need to win classic with a fusion, didn't do that yet
thanks rng
Here is the perfect Miraidon counter
Its Excadrill/Zacian, don't ask why i did this
i'll draw tornadus tmr
GL
you’re playing pokerogue again?
Yea I was told it was only the lead dev and hes gone now so
Ah cool
:0
still havent beaten classic
so is that steel dark or dragon fighting?
I’m on a winning streak right now using Shadow Rider for the first time.
I feel so dirty
almost like its the second best mon in the format behind ice rider
It feels like cheating sometimes not gonna lie.
It turns out that I’m not THAT bad of a player, I just use bad Pokémon
fair point
Why do you think I keep telling people to just learn the game first before doing random shit with random picks
It matters so much
?
Dragon Fighting
ah, hope you dont fight fairies
it lived Moonblast we're fine
how-
Wait how much Bulk-
damn, its built different
Just average out Roaring Moon and Cobalion's bulk
...lyco doing it too i see
Then you get the bulk itself
This Drago?
I beat classic mode twice and planning to beat the game with mono ground
Scarf terapagos?
Don't tell me he's actually running that
Yes
last time someone tried that out it didnt work very well
The team is actually seeing success
in what elo
1400 and 1500 elo
i could see it getting high elo assuming you hit your precipice blades
and have things for incin
I also run Gouging Fire to help against Intimidate
And power Gem flutter mane so incineroar isn't a huge problem
why not just run wake and kill it
And then i can't boost my attack against intimidate
you just reset to neutral
infront of incin
assuming incin didn't fake out the gouging fire
if you had clear amulet thats a different story
Howl also helped several times as well
Even without incineroar in the opponent's team
ok well howl is much stronger into teams without damage mitigation
thats just normal
Fair
hey it worked
how well did said thing work
i aim for at least 1500 with 70% GXE
and i hit it
thats what i consider a team to be working
https://pokepast.es/669aefed8670393a Here's the team btw
sure
for me is 1400 elo with at least 60% GXE
and rn My Terapagos Team Met the Criteria

Yeah i really like some help against Indeedee
ice rider
And that
I lead Groudon Gouging and they just demolish CIR
im gonna take a guess they're not leading something, like peli, to help with that
rain pagos team huh
ice rider looks so good into you
I actually considered 124 speed Groudon before
Can anyone enlighten me on how i get astral barrage on my spectrier?
And it did help but with Whimsicott i feel like it isn't super troublesome
it must be fused with calyrex
Here's the neat part: You can't
Pseudo Rain CM Pagos+Chi Yu
It has to be fused with Calyrex to get Astral Barrage and it can't keep it
@mighty stump next update we're getting data bank 21 and it has 100% gold echo drop rate
Damn
How am i battling people in sv with it then 🤣
hackers
Great 🤣
oh yeah almost forgot
While i can't deny the weaknesses it has to ice Gouging can actually one shot it after a howl boost and Groudon can also do big damage on it
Or you're mistaking CSR as Spectrier.
today is emmas birthday right?
Plus with tera Fire it walls CIR
that too
Which seems to be a possibility if you're not aware of the fusion.
What is the path for CSR
high horsepower???
Do i need to do this in sword shield
not exactly a wall
And just transfer it over?
Let me check the calcs
252+ Atk Calyrex-Ice Rider High Horsepower vs. 252 HP / 4 Def Tera-Fire Groudon: 106-126 (51.2 - 60.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
yeah
cough
nice wall
A correction to that is: It walls Glacial Lance
You can get the reins in SV
Just go to the action
And as long as you have Calyrex in your team or boxes then you can get the reins
Its working perfectly fine for me
Can i send you the link in DM's?
It's called a Reveal Glass iirc
Feel free to call me a nerd
You find that in the well of Kakariko village
Wo-G
is that on pokerogue?
Ye
wait u can get level 5 fusions?
Back to the city of braindead low elo
If you are lucky enough, yes
I read Wo-G as in W-OG
wog
ouch
I hate low elo with a passion
weak armor in trick room is crazy
Just testing my AV Grudon team before i build the team in game
i love low elo
why would bro do that lol
you get to see the most surprising teams
And the stupidest plays
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2024regg-2140705068 What just happened in this match?
Watch a replay of a Pokémon battle between Lyco AV Grudon and Silver Code! Format: [Gen 9] VGC 2024 Reg G; Date: Jun 10, 2024
There was a fucking crowd in this match
Yeah i just wanna name it Lens of Truth cuz it sounds good (And yes i am a Zelda Fan)
Its ok if you want to call it whatever you want
I just call it reveal glass since thats how you say it
random people appearing in the match is silly tbh
Yeah
rikkachama was right after all
https://pokepast.es/c6efd5def33ee0e3
And then there's me
You got to feel bad about Silver Lining
Someone was cheering him on and had an incin against my AV groudon
And he lost
fairy and normal team huh?
Well i was bored so i askeed my girlfriend to choose my mons
the team actually won 1 match
your gf knows the flutter flow
She chooses Azu,Chansey and Slyveon
flutter flow 
i chose Flutter Mane,Terapagos and Indeedee
oh okok
You definetely picked the right pokemon
yeah 3 meta picks+3 Niche
Your girlfriend didn't
i did thought of Scream Tail
Azu technically killed Torn and Wo-Chien in that match
Not saying their bad
Just saying that they weren't great picks
Especially when there are other options
i mean she is not a VGC player
Obviously
she is casual in Pokemon but she is comp in other games i don't play
Non pokemon competitive players will pick their favourites
And those favourites weren't shit in comp
Except Chansey
I had my mom pick my Pokemon team (from the list of top 10 used Pokemon in reg g
)
my gf's favourites are incineroar rillaboom and urshifu rapid strike, (she doesnt exist)
Pizza's mom > Torrent's GF > Tofu's GF > Monke's brother
i use Chansey before when i play singles sooo
When it comes to picking good pokemon in the format
Lol mine looked through the whole list
She's very supportive about this whole Pokemon hobby thing
w
mine does as well,but honestly i am fine with her picking favourites cuz i don't wanna make her stress out
she's secretly studying VGC to play a Bo3 match with you and beat you by surprise.
watch out
although Chansey is the only one i kinda don't like
I would rather Whimsicott-
She's too busy on Genshin
that's what she wants you to think 
the fact that i have to bust out Specs Pagos for this-
You love CM pagos
Yeah but that makes the Team TOO PASSIVE
Yo is calyrex a goat
Yeah i can see why
Like the animal
the reason why i am using CM on my current Team is that i have other options for Offense
Because calyrex is definitely the goat
he looks like a rabbit for some reason
idk why i say that
Its a moose with Onion Head
It just floats
Megamind if he was a fish:
Calyrex is basically a Moose Rabbit with Flowerfish Bump
Megamind if he was a pokemon
PFFT
And has a green flutter mane necklace with the blue triforce on each of the circles
pfft
·_·
covert is still the most Popular item for Pagos in 1760 Glicko
Are you sure about that?
There is clear amulet and leftovers above Cloak
Cloak is very good just not as used at those 2
either i am not refreshing or idk
yeah i refreshed
What type you think for Golem is better? Rock or ground?
1 question: why?
Earthquake seems like maybe I want pure ground
honestly none,but i seen more Rock in Teambuilding shit
What do you mean none?
like those two are not good
Well which would you go for?
neither but i think Rock cuz Galvanise
This Pokemon's Normal-type moves become Electric-type moves and have their power multiplied by 1.2. This effect comes after other effects that change a move's type, but before Ion Deluge and Electrify's effects.
What site you guys using these days?
munchstats
It's not alolan Golem Just to be clear
oh wait
Thats even worse
Rock/Electric
Magnet Pull, Sturdy, Galvanize (Hidden)
80/120/130/55/65/45
495
Golem
Alright I'm not looking for negativity y'all
There's two sides to competitive scene to be clear. Some people enjoy making the best of a bad situation, idc what everyone else does
Workin with what I like, no matter the reason I like it for
sure,but we are just telling which one can work and which one is worse
I'm sure it is more popular, but I'm not doing it for winning the highest level tournaments
More popular than didn't mean is popular
Yeah Alola Golem is basically worse Dondozo in stats
Sounds like no one knows so I'll just keep looking into it
If you wanna tera golem into specifically one of those 2 types I’d go Ground
Electric immunity, and rock has a lot of weaknesses
I thought maybe it'd be better too, so that's good
you have to run rock head
I gave him weakness policy thinking it might help, but I'll gave to test
Rock helmet, or a move that's called rock head maybe?
the ability-
Gotcha
you can run Body press if you want 🙂
Why? Doesn’t golem only learn double edge for recoil moves?
I haven't figured out what moves to use, but it's gyro ball useless?
gyro ball is good with it
its slow
I might try that if I don't have like a 4th idk. Yeah it is slow though. I have slowbro with trick room for setup into him after I think would work
I don't think I ever use protect well as I should. You mean for duo battles it's better?
That would explain a lot
I'm just playing Pokemon tbh
I can use an ability patch for rock head, right? He's got sturdy now.

capsule is fine
Yeah, I like singles
Oh god that explains why
Is capsul the cheaper one, or patches? What was the harder to get?
I'd try Duos too, but I'm leaning into it slowly
I haven't gotten super competitive with this, I just played it with my brother when we were young on DS
this is more on VGC aka 4v4 Doubles
Video Game Championships
video game championship (doubles format)
Yeah a shit name ik
a horrible name tbh
Ok you are THAT New.
Video Game Championship(Official Format for Pokemon)
Like the tournaments they gold, okay. I saw one tournament a guy won with a pachirisu that looked pretty funny
He picked Pachirisu because it fit onto his team, not because it was his favourite
I mean I'm new, but I caught every pokémon they ever made except for a few from the 1st and second dlc in scarlet and violet
the Dawn of Gen 6 
Follow me is kinda still a weird move in gen 6
new to competetive pokemon
I'm just saying it was funny cus it's like a squirrel mix with big guy monsters
New to competitive, not new to Pokemon
Yeah
If I could use lickitung in my team I would 🤪
Favorite pokémon list is almost all first gen
P L E A S E N O
I mean anihilape is cool
i reccomend starting off with meta teams for a better understanding and go from there
I like Decidueye
2nd worst starter in comp.
like tofu said, learn the basics before making niche
#rental_teams here are some nice teams
I'm not really trying to vers the meta much, just occasional random 1v1 not a match or anything
the problem with jumping into a team with your favorite Pokemon when you're starting off competitive is that you're going to lose. A lot. Then pick up bad habits. Then stop improving. You need a solid understanding of competitive before jumping into teambuilding with silly Pokemon.
lol those 1v1 matches will normally be meta teams
why not make it so you win most?
I mean I'm also using Muk and I get the sense that the build I made for him is hated by many
thats why i kinda only picking Greninja up again in Reg G and never used it from Reg D-Reg F
its minimize isnt it#
I was actually really proud no one taught me how to minimize and like mud slap etc with him 😅

Oh my lord not a Minimise Supporter
Mud-slap, toxic, venoshock, and minimize yeah
that is for singles isnt it
I think it's mean to do it, but he's a favorite pokémon of mine 😅
Council pls murder this guy (jk)
If it makes anyone feel better I start with Haunter and save muk for last
i swear playing these teams don't grant you success
I get a lot of pleasure of winning with nonsense. Underdog supporter to a fault. I'm the same in yugioh, I play a penguin deck
you just look like an Idiot stuck in Low Ladder
Among other bad decks
but icl the satisfaction of winning even 1 game with niche is amazing tbh#
don't give him ideas
Hey settle down, it's by choice
theres nothing wrong with stupid ideas
Yeah I like winning with the pokémon I think look the coolest
i'm saying the truth,Everytime i saw the Muk Smeragle Teams they get easily shut down.
I figure people get a kick out of beating me. Give them a chance to see something different for a change
Thats your last warning
if you want that to happen consistently, i recommend yk, using meta teams
Either don't engage, or apologise
I wouldn't use smeargle that things not my style
If you mean them apologize to me, I'm fine they're not bugging me
So what seems to be the issue.
They helped me with good ideas, it's fine. I know my style is weird
Carden here wants to use Favourites, the problem is that they aren't good
Sure, but I don't have a tolerance for my channel running wild like a jungle
so?
Not saying it's bad
Look
The point is
My usual opening to people who want to use their favourites isn't to outright state theyre garbage
It's to just have realistic expectations
And then proceed to just help
I do, they're still helping me make the team I want despite it being low tier
People can play however they want
They can do it with better language, and a better approach.
btw to clarify youre still doing singles or doubles?
I would do both, but I'm starting in singles
And rules are rules.
ah well i dont have much experience with what people are doing rn in singles
but the basics are
hazard setting, hazard removal, and type synergy
I saw one player with a crazy venomoth that's about all I've seen. I beat someone using a full team of 6 ditto so far
A few other not memorable wins
Oh and the salt stack pokémon whatever he's called is pretty wild

Yeah he's vicious. Uuuh. I don't really have a set in stone team, but I like perrserker, anihilape, muk, gonna try Haunter with eviolite or gengar idk which will be the 1 I prefer, and slowbro, and I've got Golem that I might not use much competitively
I wish I'd find a use for furret, but I doubt I will. They just seem like using tidy up might help rarely
for golemn i see things like explosion, rocks/spikes and eq or smth paired with custap berry and sturdy
Zoroark I might try using too. That'd all that I'm thinking about using for now
I changed his ability to rock head for double edge, but is there another ability like double edge I wanna use with him?
Rock/Ground
Rock Head, Sturdy, Sand Veil (Hidden)
80/120/130/55/65/45
495
Golem-Alola
i dont really wanna dive deeper as to cause confusion, im not exactly knowledgeable from here
It's regular Golem not alolan btw
It's funny how old pokémon are like the unknown. I think that almost helps in rare situations like people aren't familiar so they don't know what to use versus it. It helps me in yugioh games when people don't understand the janky stuff
Wait with rock head ability you still take damage from self destruct, right?
self destruct always kills the user no matter the ability
That's good. That'd be ridiculous to survive that
Nothing wrong here
Eh idk
But I'm not gonna dive deeper into shit that someone's already defused so anyways
Wtf we cookin today
Imagine if you could just explode over and over 
Alolan golem would be busted
I mean I'd still use regular Golem over that weird lookin version
Is ceruledge and armarouge very high tier? I like their style
Eh I mean something that just gets clapped by Urshifu or a Steel type 
Armarouge is typically seen on your Hard TR/Psyspam teams, while Ceruledge actually is used by a select few as a niche to wall like Koraidon and Zamazenta
I just remembered I need another copy of kubfu eventually I think, and I really don't wanna replay that whole game again
Got SV DLC?
Yeah
Kubfu is one of the snacks
You can't use Zeraora in this game either, huh? Darn it...
That's the one pokémon I'd want to use hyper competitively in my head thinking about it. But what about marshadow? Are either of those high value?
Zeraora is mythical and so is Marshadow, meaning they won't be usable until like
The ass end of gen 9 if they even do so
Absolute ass end
Dang it. Gen 9 is s&v though, right?
Yeah
Well so they're still doing like raids for new included pokémon or did that stop a long time ago?

I meant to find a list of what all the mons that were brought over were. I stopped watching the new inclusions after pyroar
Hello
They do raids for starters or other Pokemon that are already in the game iirc
I'm honestly not sure, the raid channels would know
As for what's all in the game rn, you can probably find it all on serebii
Keep in mind that they intend to play singles for now. Don’t know if you saw
Oh then idfk shit lmao
Reminder for @mighty stump
check rentals
Tofu, check your rentals
Khuja is good so far
Monke glad Khuja is good
Monke is on reservation land rn
Ahh
Hey babe
hows vacation going?
Good
Good good
There's a lot of pretty mountains around me rn
Hello!
Or hills/mountains
Nice, better than the flat over here lol
Lol
I passed by a sign saying your town the other day and thought about you babe
No way thats crazy lol
I mean we arent to far from eachother if I think about it lol
We need locals
lol
Nah, you were actually a bit of a ways tbh
Oh really? I guess our state is pretty huge
Unless we took a long route
Oh yeah it is lmao
TRUST ME
This was my second time crossing state and boy it's not easy
lmaoooo i bet so all i did was move as a kid, not a fan of travel but i try to lol
Oh yeah
I kinda like travel, but home is nice too
After moving like 12 times between two states i turned into a huge homebody lol
Travel is really rough on me, so I prefer home lol
Samesies, Id rather not be in a car or a plane XD
I've only been on a plane once and it was to meet my bf at the time who is now my husband lol. Never again, did not like the plane lol
Oh brother I dont like hearing that I still have never flown before, anxiety goes through the roof when I think about it, not a fan of heights lol
Flying is super chill for me
I like my feet on the ground lol
Red-eye flights are kinda a vibe at night if its peaceful
It was actually really neat/smooth ride I'm just terrified of heights and prefer my feet on the ground
Business class also was definitely worth the experience
Im sure ill be fine im just exactly this way lol
Son 

hey tofuu
Tofu is currently 5/10 levels of annoyed
How come?
I loved when I flew
Oh nu =(
It's not bad
I mean sure you're in a metal tube in the sky, but really the worst parts are takeoff and landing
Unless you crash of course
Because some people need to look at themselves before pointing at others and another thing is #rental_teams not meeting the outlined standards
It's not that hard
Do people have difficulty reading or something
I saw another mfer have a hard time reading just earlier so yeah lol
Oh yeah I seen, had me like 
we literally told them about documents so well aware it could be edited
More rounds day 1?
yes more rounds day 1 (like 1 more, maybe 2) and then less rounds day 2
asymmetric top cut of X-2 records on day 2
So its gonna be harder for me to get to day 2?
Yes, you used to need to win 5 rounds now you’ll likely need 6
||after i sneak into the event disguised as Wolfe😉||
potentially even 7
but if you go 6-0 day 1 to make day 2, your path to top cut is really easy
you just need 1-2 record on day 2
oh happy birthday emma, if im not too late 
Oh it birthday?
yeah hahaha 6-0 at worlds would be probably harder than top cutting an IC
thank youuu
setsumizi has given 1 Gen Rep to otot8953

@chrome knot

Dw, I'll have another dumb team for ya hopefully soon 😂

It was a substitute baton passer

I was like 11 with no knowledge of vgc, just wanted to try showdown cus some YouTuber

I forget who he is but he makes dumb gimmick teams work and shows people malding
And ofc that appealed to a little shit kid
But I for some reason didn’t copy his teams? Idk I wasn’t smart
oh-
sandstorm smooth rock ttar paired with
sturdy shell bell endeavour aron?
It’s been years idk hun
