Lmao

mighty stump
#

I thought I knew yoh

molten oasis
#

tf is wrong with you

mighty stump
#

I wish you did crime instead

#

Jk i have nothing against Vtubers

bold geode
#

I mean ok
I wasn't like OBSESSED with them

mighty stump
#

In fact it looks like a fun way to stream

bold geode
#

I just thought it was a cool way to express yourself

mighty stump
#

Although it feels more like a popularity contest than anything

polar canyon
#

If you like the vtubers for the person and not for having cool models I don't see the difference between that and a no webcam streamer

mighty stump
#

From my mild interactions with it

#

But yea

bold geode
molten oasis
#

i watch, 1 youtuber that has one and i dont even watch her much

bold geode
#

Since like Hololive for example are looked at as idols

rustic mountain
#

i dont really understand vtubers but to each their own ig as long as ur not hurting any1 shrug

mighty stump
#

I don’t know if I’ll ever break into the streaming sphere

molten oasis
#

been watching lots of game grumps the past week

mighty stump
#

I don’t like being recorded

polar canyon
#

Tofu would be a top 50 pokemon streamer

bold geode
#

Meanwhile American Vtubers are maybe half idolized and half just the jokes of lewd mfers who may or may not be a man

mighty stump
#

As if

balmy glen
#

I’ll start streaming prob after worlds

#

ToppoWoppo is helping me setup stuff

balmy glen
mighty stump
#

molten oasis

bold geode
#

Yeah Toppo is one of THE Trick Room guys
Like bro is invested into it

molten oasis
#

interesting

bold geode
#

Bro literally has a fucking list of OTs that is just for people he encounters who use Imprison Trick Room

rustic mountain
#

molten oasis

mighty stump
#

Its pretty smart to have tbh

rustic mountain
#

yea

molten oasis
#

i get its valuable

bold geode
#

Yeah
It's crazy

molten oasis
#

but also, play through tr trust

mighty stump
#

I don’t want to give Caly-I the reins to the game

#

Haha kneeslap

bold geode
#

I remember though the first stream of his I watched he was using min speed Chi Yu and min speed Urshifu Rapid Strike

rustic mountain
molten oasis
#

ha ha

#

ok fair point tho

mighty stump
rustic mountain
#

tru

mighty stump
#

I make bad teams and do good

chrome knot
#

steal playstyles.

molten oasis
#

im just a balance player

bold geode
#

Like Toppo I feel like he somehow even with using weird shit still focuses on refining the craft

molten oasis
#

me like redirection and set up guy

chrome knot
#

be an amalgamation of different players like a freak

mighty stump
bold geode
#

Like he does both so well that it's honestly cool

rustic mountain
molten oasis
#

thats having your own playstyle

polar canyon
#

I never stopped to think what my playstyle is in general

bold geode
polar canyon
#

I like teams that don't let the opponent do anything

mighty stump
#

Mood

bold geode
#

I like just making people upset lmao

chrome knot
molten oasis
#

i like set up into big damage

polar canyon
#

Get them encored get them snarled get them intimidated get them burnt get them paralyzed

rustic mountain
mighty stump
#

I still think about Yotam’s description of both me and his playstyle

bold geode
#

Like I imagine everyone is a little kid in Fortnite who just lives and breathes Fortnite
And when I beat them, just imagine them breaking shit

mighty stump
#

still stands true to today

mighty stump
#

Yotam likes creating pins through high tempo teams, so HO

chrome knot
#

im just a puppet strung by different players at a time

bold geode
#

Actually maybe that was just my Fortnite mentality lmao

polar canyon
#

Breaking swipe may be one of my favorite moves and I think that might say something about me

mighty stump
#

I like pins by removing options til they have nothing

mighty stump
bold geode
#

Literally beating the kids (in game) was what kept me playing Fortnite

molten oasis
#

wow

molten oasis
#

monke has to know hes beating kids (in game) to have fun

greg g

bold geode
molten oasis
#

fair

polar canyon
#

I don't think I ever tried to stick to one style of play but the ones I enjoyed most were stuff like sableye, scream tail, grafaiai, just being little trolls with encore and not allowing the opponent to do what they want

Lock in is my favourite phrase from the internet

polar canyon
bold geode
#

Tbf I did tell Lyco something not PG13 in Spanish the other day

mighty stump
#

Even in jokes it goes hard

#

You know what else goes hard

molten oasis
#

wdyt bro

polar canyon
mighty stump
#

me when pinning

molten oasis
#

tempting, but im not gonna

rustic mountain
#

shouldnt really be speaking another language here let alone saying not pg13 shit which is a big reason why they have it that way here. cant regulate other languages effectively wen we are a predominately english speaking staff

bold geode
mighty stump
#

I speak in indonesian all the time and 50% of it is just swearing 😭

polar canyon
#

Who's speaking another language

bold geode
#

Lmao

molten oasis
rustic mountain
#

yea def shouldnt do that dude haha, the swearings fine its more the principle of it

bold geode

Tofu I've seen you speaking Indonesian in here, wtf you been saying bro

polar canyon

or is it

molten oasis
#

you beat me to it fuck

silver ravine
#

How is Heatran in reg G? Finally got it in Sword, but per Smogon there's no G guide for it.

mighty stump
#

Its like

bold geode
mighty stump
#

Probably an option

molten oasis
#

its a guy, he exists

mighty stump
#

Heatran with Flash Fire + Fairy Tera can be good into Koraidon stuff

polar canyon
#

It's like, a zacian option?

mighty stump
#

But I don’t realistically see other strengths it brings

bold geode
#

Yeah but you gotta tera for Koraidon
Just run Chandy

mighty stump
molten oasis
#

you want a zacian option

#

there ya go, zacian mu solved

mighty stump
#

Yotam’s table at a glance shows the inconsistency it brings

#

Matchup wise nothjng has beaten Calys and Terapagos in consistency

#

Across the board

silver ravine
mighty stump
#

Zama probably is gonna find more difficult footing since CSR has also found its stride

polar canyon
#

I think I should try terapagos

mighty stump
#

Especially for Psyspam

polar canyon
#

Good thing there's a new tofu blogpost about it

mighty stump
#

Eruption and Sun setting is just the thing it does better

#

So I recommend that

molten oasis
#

heatran gets eruption?

rustic mountain
#

it used to

mighty stump
#

I think Heatran would be more on Balance teams if you want to slowplay things out

silver ravine
molten oasis
#

ah

mighty stump
#

But I don’t realistically see it being successful

molten oasis
#

i dont really miss heatran, heatran's annoying at times lol

mighty stump
#

You could consider Magma Storm trapping but

mighty stump
#

Thats 75% and also pivot moves are inherent

bold geode
#

I miss Heatran

rustic mountain
#

yea even w.o many ground types runnin around heatran jus gets dunked on

polar canyon
molten oasis
#

urshifu

mighty stump
#

Yeah Fighting coverage is also huge

molten oasis
#

peli being big is rough

#

yea peli walls heatran lol

polar canyon
#

When chi yu flutter was huge and heatran worked for it

mighty stump
#

Yeah you also have no realistic way to hitting Peli

bold geode
#

Although I won't run Heatran cuz it's not great rn (definitely didn't consider it a couple weeks ago for a few secs)

molten oasis
#

eh

mighty stump
molten oasis
#

its a meta with niche stuff, anything can be considered within reason

polar canyon
bold geode
#

I considered it and then said "just run Chandelure" which should tell you the state Heatran is in rn

mighty stump
#

I also think majority of Chi-Flutter comps right now have Terapagos with them

#

and Urshifu

molten oasis
#

yea

bold geode
#

Chi Yu is literally the thing saving Terapagos from Zamazenta rn

molten oasis
#

think shifu is just an issue for heatran

mighty stump
#

Which just makes it difficult since that team centres around punishing literally all your defensive play through tempo

#

Like sure

#

You can Tera Grass

#

now Starstorm is SE

#

Close Combat is also still neutral

#

and eating SE U-Turn still hurts

molten oasis
#

whats the niche that heatran works then? trapping stuff?

mighty stump
#

Id almost say coverage/typing + Magma Storm is the stuff it brings to the table

polar canyon
mighty stump
#

Anti-fairy isn’t as jmportant

bold geode
silver ravine
#

Heat also looks pretty cool

mighty stump
#

Yeah

molten oasis
#

true heatran does looks pretty cool

bold geode
#

Other than maybe trapping that's about it

polar canyon
#

It was anti fairy but really it felt mostly anti flutter

molten oasis
bold geode
#

But once again
Run Chandelure
Chandelure is based

rustic mountain
#

heatran is cool, its been a staple for awhile

mighty stump
rustic mountain
#

a few formats its not relevant is fine

molten oasis
#

without needing a tera

#

wasnt heatran relevant for all of reg d and that was kinda it

polar canyon
bold geode
rustic mountain
#

it was around in reg e

molten oasis
#

i dont remember heatran in reg e at all tbh

polar canyon
#

I think I'm not contributing to chat bye

molten oasis
#

dengo dont wall koraidon

bold geode

Oh right Koraidon

Ceruledge and Xhandelure

Technically

Armarouge

molten oasis
#

mighty stump

rustic mountain

#

buttah dawg

bold geode
#

You know you're fat when your Ceruledge runs Butter Blade

#

What other moves can fit food things in there

#

Collision Full Course Meal

#

Actually literally Order Up

molten oasis
#

yea

mighty stump
#

Bro had to think about that one

molten oasis
#

mighty stump

When she octos my path til I travel

bold geode
molten oasis
#

lmfao

molten oasis
#

bro thinks about nothing but food

bold geode
#

Y'know what bro

#

That's it, I'm finding more brainrot songs on TikTok to send to you

balmy glen
#

Tbh I tried butter blade ceru but idk how to use it ig or it’s just mid

mighty stump
#

I dont think its great

#

Lol

#

Taking up CA also sucks

balmy glen
#

Yeeeee i was using Aurelians variant but it just seems so mid

mighty stump
#

Im still thinking about Aurelian’s Pagos team and I still think Suica’s is better

#

But I like what it brought to the table

balmy glen
mighty stump
#

The NAIC one

balmy glen
#

Gotcha

mighty stump
#

Since like

#

Ok

balmy glen
#

There wasn’t much of a difference other than fixing it with safety goggles

mighty stump
#

Suica was running the Torn Amoonguss stuff though

balmy glen
#

At NAIC?

mighty stump
#

Am I thinking of a different team

#

No not NAIC

#

The one he got 2nd place

#

Playing MDB

#

STOCKHOLN

#

THATS THE EVENT

#

Wow I blanked on that one

balmy glen
#

ok at NAIC they worked together and ran same team. At the regionals one ran the torn amoongus stuff which was Suica and Aurelian ran the ceruledge

#

I have both of their pastes tho cuz they are friends

#

I think I liked Suica team more

mighty stump
#

I thought Aurelian was running Grimm/Pagos stuff with Hands

balmy glen
#

Yes they both ran that at NAIC

#

Stockholm they did separate teams

mighty stump
#

Okok

#

Ok

#

Yeah

#

Anyways Suica ver I felt had more impact but it also felt like it was

#

“Missing” something

#

But I cant tell what

molten oasis
#

Aurelian has been on hands pagos grimm for that long?

mighty stump
molten oasis
#

ah

mighty stump
#

and then at NAIC its the same

molten oasis
#

icic

#

man needs a win

mighty stump
balmy glen
#

uhhhhhhh

mighty stump
balmy glen
#

I mean he doesn’t really know u

mighty stump
#

I was rooting for Soula

balmy glen
#

I can talk to him for u if u have questions

mighty stump
#

No, was just wondering about the Pagos spread only

balmy glen
#

ah gotcha

mighty stump
#

On the Stockholm

molten oasis
#

dude's been a finalist, what 3 times?

balmy glen
#

It’s the same spread xd

mighty stump
#

And I don’t feel right not asking the creators for their soread

#

Oh

balmy glen
#

U could honestly figure it out

molten oasis
#

the person who won always deserved it but Soula has to get one eventually

mighty stump
#

Yeah but thats more work

#

Lmao

balmy glen
#

takes less time tho xd

mighty stump
#

Fine fine

molten oasis
#

that or hes cursed forever to be a finalist

balmy glen
#

Nah he will win

molten oasis
#

i believe in him

#

he can get a win, hes a great player

balmy glen
#

He just gets really nervous on stream atm

molten oasis
#

i get that

#

id be nervous knowing theres tons of people watching me play

balmy glen
#

I think the difference between our come ups in the scene is just hes grown up playing pokemon from seniors division so he’s not used to being on stream while I grew up playing pubg on stream lol

molten oasis
#

you're more used to the pressure of that then?

balmy glen
#

playing on stream basically feels the same as Swiss to me

molten oasis
#

ic

balmy glen
#

I’m more of an emotional player than Aurelian tho so I do more pop offs xd

molten oasis
#

pop offs are fun tho

#

good to see emotion out of people

balmy glen
#

Depends ig

molten oasis
#

fair

balmy glen
#

I feel like people like to watch pop offs sometimes but I’ve had some players tell me to keep it cool

molten oasis
#

Probably looks more professional I’d have to imagine

rustic mountain
#

i think it depends on the set/context

#

if ur not a complete douche about it i think its fine in that regard

balmy glen
#

hmm

#

would put a rental up in rental_teams but like writing so much notes seems like a pain when I could just give a basic run down and give tips afterwards GengarSad

#

lazy high schooler moment tho tbh

autumn vault
#

For me the notes take 10-15 minutes

#

It is annoying, but i have time for it

#

The notes at max take 20 minutes

balmy glen
#

hm prob seems like more than it looks

autumn vault
#

I type pretty fast so it's no surprise i can do it in 10-20 minutes

balmy glen
#

I type 135 wpm

#

Ok I have Eduardo cunhas NAIC paste now

#

we’re gaming

mighty stump
#

Literally just want ANY form of direction

#

Even if its just leads

mighty stump
#

But yeah you can always just include the basics and then just ask people to DM/Ping for more questions

She's ok

Monke, not ok

#

Done 2 Emboar raids

molten oasis
#

Ah yes another raid I’m not doing thumbsup

autumn vault
#

Emboar supremacy 🐷

next stump
#

the raids were so peak during the early SV days

autumn vault
#

You're not wrong

next stump
#

now that HOME is linked and everything is a wild spawn they feel super pointless besides the mark

autumn vault
#

Fair

#

But i'm a mighty mark collector

next stump
#

yeah I respect that, it's a cool mark

#

I wish it was on more comp relevant pokemon

autumn vault
#

And i want more resources

#

Like shards, patches, etc.

#

And also Herba Mystica

#

But outside of that, theres no point on doing the raids

autumn vault
#

I wish they made shiny events related to 7 star raids

#

That would be the perfect excuse to get shiny pokemon that are usually shiny locked

molten oasis
#

I want a shiny raid event with bolt

next stump
#

I wish they release Caly shinies 😦 Tough that they're now 4-5 years old with no shiny

molten oasis
#

Urshifu would be cool too

next stump
#

very much agree

molten oasis
#

And the ruins, I want shiny pao and chi yu

next stump
#

I think shiny locking is the stupidest idea pokemon has

#

like... it just doesn't make sense to me

#

you should allow your players to hunt and grind shinies if they exist in the codee

molten oasis
#

Yea that’s valid, I guess they want to save them for events but it’s like, they haven’t done events for any legends beyond the galar birds

#

And that was a few years ago

This looks good, atleast

#

What have i done?

bold geode
autumn vault
#

You're not wrong

zinc totem
#

rapid strike urshifu is better yes?

autumn vault
#

Depends

#

But generally yes

zinc totem
#

i dont think single strike is good due having so many weaknesses while rapid strike has triple hit move that break through most pokemons i think

#

but i can be wrong

autumn vault
#

And hitting 3 times isn't always a benefit

#

Because you can take chip from rocky helmet but 3 times

#

Basically cutting it's HP by half when using Surging Strikes into a helmet mon

zinc totem
#

but rapid also seems have better move pool beacuse priority without relying that opponent attacks Hmmm

next stump
#

40BP vs 70BP though

next stump
#

it's not that simple

autumn vault
#

Rapid gets Aqua Jet and Single gets Sucker Punch

#

Both of which are priority

zinc totem
autumn vault
zinc totem
#

its pretty big

autumn vault
#

If you play right that drawback can sometimes be non-existant

zinc totem
#

you waste whole turn LUL

autumn vault
#

Wasting a turn isn't good but it doesn't automatically lose you the game

#

It can, but not always

zinc totem
#

thats why rapid strike seems better in every scenario

autumn vault
#

Just sucker punch the right mons and the drawback isn't bad

zinc totem
#

beacuse wasting turn is no-no

#

i like single strike more design wise

autumn vault
#

But if you land a Sucker Punch you do more damage

#

Even more than a rain-boosted aqua jet

zinc totem
#

yeah if

#

99% of trime you wont

next stump
#

sounds like you have your mind made up

#

so why come here lol

zinc totem
#

was trying find out if there was any good argument single-strike choise LUL

autumn vault
#

I think Sucker Punch's drawback isn't bad because if you click it on the correct mons then it basically doesn't hurt the mon

next stump
#

there is but you're acting dense

#

like you have no counterplay to them protecting/switching on sucker

autumn vault
#

And also Lunala and dawn wings

#

While also not being threatened too much by helmet

zinc totem
#

rocky helmet pokemons normally are pretty obvious tho (corviknight as example)

autumn vault
next stump
#

are you a singles player?

autumn vault
#

And the rocky helmet mons aren't super obvious

zinc totem
next stump
#

ah okay we are talking doubles

autumn vault
#

That explains it

zinc totem
#

thats why its shame single-strike has no usage there

autumn vault
#

in doubles?

#

I wouldn't call that "no usage"

#

I won't argue, you clearly don't know what you're talking about

zinc totem
#

talking of singles

autumn vault
#

Ok you're not wrong

#

I don't play BSS anyways

#

So that info does not matter to me

zinc totem
#

i think majority plays singles so thats where i more focus haha

autumn vault
#

The majority here play VGC

#

And the only singles formats i play are on Smogon formats

zinc totem
#

i guess i should get myself into doubles to use version of urshifu i like more

shut schooner
#

Pokemon is so trash right now everyone uses the same Pokemon out of like 10 options the only thing you see change is fake out users or follow me users how can meta gross get one-shot by voltswich miraidon that's insane and they need to balance their 60 dollar game because all specteir glacier urshifu kyogre ogerpon and couple others just make it impossible to build a team that will go to masters with out spamming from this tiny pool of options

autumn vault
#

No one is stopping you from playing VGC

#

If you don't want to play it then its ok

zinc totem
#

i mean i dont have second kubfu 🤣

zinc totem
#

yes there is very spesific pools that are must and is limited what works and what not

autumn vault
#

The meta is actually quite diverse

#

Every meta is like that, uses the best options there is

zinc totem
#

yeah. I can probably get lucario fit in somewhere as long as i use most of team meta pokemons

autumn vault
#

And with some niche pokemon

bold geode
autumn vault
#

But yeah you're right

zinc totem
#

just need steering it abit more carefully tho i can make lucario work most situations LUL

bold geode
#

Oh BSS nvm idk shit other than they used to run Supreme Overlord Kingambit

zinc totem
#

but thats more singles as i got 0 experience on vgc double format

autumn vault
#

(Ik what it is ok, ik it's not a shitpost)

pallid hare
#

you could turn it into a shitpost copypasta with any game really

zinc totem
#

beacuse i got violet, my options are to extend limited unless i luck out on trades 🤣

#

eh frick it yolo on single strike urshifu

autumn vault
#

Why not

zinc totem
#

i just like single strike design more

autumn vault
#

Fair

#

I also prefer Single Strike over Rapid Strike

zinc totem
#

even if it will be mistake do it

While RS looks a bit goofy

@shut schooner Stop being a weirdo and grow up. Your complaints regarding how competitive pokemon plays out isn’t welcome especially when it’s pointless ranting

shut schooner
#

Your spreadsheet lost me tbh I have know idea what it is and mabey today's been extra hard but I see the same pokemon out of like 10 every match and it's just ridiculous this one specteir protected on a dark tera knock off and then after twra fairing protected on glyscore using poison jab so goofy

Same

#

Whyd you edit your response lmao

zinc totem

competitive has variety while yes meta pokemons are strong and is used more, it doesnt mean you cant make adjustments and use some other pokemons aswell if you can get them fit in

zinc totem

it wont stop me experimenting and having Lucario in my team if i can make it work LUL

@shut schooner If you’d like advice on how to progress past the rank that you’re stuck at then I’d be willing to open your mind up a bit to what the comp helpers have to say. Refusing advice just because you don’t like the meta won’t get you anywhere

Not me though, they’re blocked. I only saw the context clue response and I had to check for due diligence because none of this bad faith ranting is welcome.
