im not the best with paying attention to people who are clueless i must add

zinc totem
#

to talk foolishly or without purpose;

devout mist
devout mist
zinc totem
#

its subtle way to notice that the way you talk, knowledge is insufficient

zinc totem
#

short of it

devout mist
#

they think acting superior makes them genius or something ?!?!

zinc totem
#

waffling is slang which is subtle

chrome knot
#

no just seeing you talk makes me realize you have no idea what ur on about

devout mist
#

cause eforce on lunala is not run xD

charred saddle
#

what about more experience? especially when ur new to the "metagame"

chrome knot
#

because lunala is commonly found on tr BALANCE

devout mist
chrome knot
#

where they DONT HAVE INDEEDEE SO IT DOESNT MAKE SENSE TO RUN IT!!

devout mist
#

using archetypes to defend a specific moveslot is not very advanced gaming

#

ima let you yap tbh

#

better like this

next stump
#

my eyeballs

chrome knot
#

it explains it perfectly actually

#

dillon save me pls

zinc totem
chrome knot
#

Dillon reg for solarflare ends july 6 btw^

devout mist
#

Your point of view isn't the whole understanding of the game btw

devout mist
next stump
#

It took all of 5 seconds to find a team that earned CP at NAIC that had Lunala with Expanding Force alongside Indeedee

zinc totem
chrome knot
#

LMFAOOOO

zinc totem
#

its actually generally USED

chrome knot
#

ermmmm….

zinc totem
#

in competitive

#

not as much as the other

chrome knot
#

no expanding force lunalas?

#

for someone who spoke “meta” and “results” that seems quite odd you missed that

zinc totem
#

like eforce lunala is used in meta

devout mist
#

eforce lunala is a niche from what you say

zinc totem
chrome knot
#

awww proven wrong now all whiney🥺

devout mist
zinc totem
#

in instant when proven wrong .lul

zinc totem
chrome knot
#

its not a niche😭

devout mist
#

never said team wasn't run

next stump
#

@devout mist If you can find one Indeedee + Lunala regional/IC team that doesn’t have Expanding Force on Lunala, you’ll prove yourself right

chrome knot
#

thats like saying close combat ice rider is a niche

devout mist
zinc totem
chrome knot
#

NO

#

expanding force + psyterrain is pretty common as its own archetype called psyspam

devout mist
#

I love reading different opinions on the matter

zinc totem
chrome knot
#

id know bc i gained 200cp with it

devout mist
#

Learn something everyday

devout mist
zinc totem
#

its no longer nice when its actually used in competitive matches and actual ranked ladder quite often

#

as part of meta

devout mist
chrome knot
#

@next stump can there be a server level minimum requirement before you can be here😵‍💫

devout mist
#

Aggro folks like you make me go nuts

#

I've got tough skin for toxic elitists jerk this being said

zinc totem
devout mist
#

It shows up, but barely

chrome knot
#

intolerable weirdos who think they know what they’re talking about is the problem

zinc totem
#

i see there 10 teams with lunala which is pretty big usage

devout mist
next stump
#

You came into this chat, gave incorrect advice, got corrected by someone who’s worked with that archtype of team before, and then accuse them of being aggressive

charred saddle
#

lunala barely appears, but when it does WITH indeedee, it has eforce,

#

thats the case we are talking about

chrome knot
#

you were literally proved wrong almost immediately

devout mist
devout mist
gentle cragBOT
charred saddle
#

what

devout mist
#

Lunala isn't showing up as the pick to be brought in every tournament I see

next stump
zinc totem
#

saying eforce makes little sense is advice given

charred saddle
#

im not even with u KEKWCRY

devout mist
next stump
#

You realize how the person asking for Lunala help can construe that as advice, right?

chrome knot
devout mist
zinc totem
# devout mist as a tech no

also witty, i've been here long enough i've seen this chat TOP competitive players also saying eforce on lunala in teams similar to mine

charred saddle
#

so psyspam is a niche?

chrome knot
#

ITS NOT A NICHE!!!

zinc totem
#

so i dont know what you're on LUL

charred saddle
#

what

chrome knot
#

psyspam is not a niche lmfao

devout mist
#

for you it isn't ok

next stump
#

Okay y’all this is starting to get pointless, it’s arguing with a brick wall

devout mist
#

it's fine to disagree, learn to move on

#

don't make a fuzz out of this

chrome knot
#

fuss but yes

next stump
#

Just move on to a new topic or back to the original question about After You being an issue

mighty stump
#

Or

#

You know

chrome knot
#

hai tofu

mighty stump
#

Don’t give advice if you aint a helper

#

Damn

zinc totem
#

@chrome knot you cant reason person out of position they have reasoned themselves into

mighty stump
#

Or a qualified player

#

Damn

#

Thats crazy concepts to think about

#

Holy shit

devout mist
#

a lot of players talk like they are pros xD

chrome knot
#

i need a third or here tofu im ngl

mighty stump
#

Good luck

devout mist
#

tofu nailed them down

mighty stump
#

You realise I ain’t on your side

zinc totem
zinc totem
devout mist
#

Tofu is not playing any circuit

charred saddle
#

because we cant KEKWCRY

chrome knot
#

bc tofu physically cant

mighty stump
#

Dillon:
Emma:

charred saddle
#

my man

mighty stump
#

Lol

#

A lot of players talk like pros when they can’t, a lot of people lack access cause of shit access and make the best results we can

devout mist
#

You guys better get back on topic, very toxic so far

zinc totem
mighty stump
#

Bros running away

devout mist
#

if you don't play pro circuits

chrome knot
#

i play in the pro circuit

devout mist
#

then you're not pro

mighty stump
#

So we have

#

Pros

#

That are also saying

#

You’re a dimwitty

devout mist
#

yeah some of you are good players

mighty stump
#

Damn

zinc totem
devout mist
#

but I doubt everyone speaking so far is someone going in for pro

mighty stump
#

That’s crazy you can’t understand english

#

Holy moly

devout mist
charred saddle
#

dillon is going to worlds tho

zinc totem
charred saddle
#

does that apply as ur criteria of "pro"

devout mist
#

not my criteria

charred saddle
#

thats a VERY high critteria

chrome knot
#

you have no criteria you already mentioned you are really new and your only experience is the meta and results

zinc totem
devout mist
#

let's steer back discussion to competitive things

chrome knot
#

get off your nothing high chair and show respect for people trying to help others

devout mist
chrome knot
#

like fucksake

devout mist
#

and sprung most of that bs

mighty stump
#

Let’s stop backseat advising in a place you have 0 standing in with regards to an area you have 0 qualifications in

zinc totem
#

meaning it fits in your criteria

chrome knot
#

correcting you, as somebody whos heavily tested and played the archetype he is interested yes

chrome knot
#

as i would know better than somebody who joined maybe an hour ago

zinc totem
#

and that archetype exists already in wider player base

devout mist
#

nothing you brought changed any concept I already knew

zinc totem
#

meaning it makes it not niche at that point

devout mist
#

so you stop being an elitist toxic jerk

charred saddle
#

so u never learned the concept of psyspam?

devout mist
#

and let the helper help

chrome knot
#

LOL

mighty stump
#

You ain’t even listening to the helper

devout mist
#

but this emma being a jerk to me nah

charred saddle
#

u literally ignored dillons claim

mighty stump
#

<@&663761167176433665>

zinc totem
#

@mighty stump @chrome knot you cant reason person out of position they have reasoned themselves into.

chrome knot
#

good call tofu TBH

mighty stump
#

Blocked

zinc totem
#

he ios lost cause in his small world

mighty stump

Bro

#

Worst most fucking blatant random shitter I’ve met yet

chrome knot
#

just annoying people constantly

devout mist
chrome knot
#

you dont even wanna read how it started holy shit

devout mist
#

''helper'' not on the pro circuit

#

let the helper help, has no experience in any tournament

zinc totem
chrome knot

🔇 Muted wittyremy for 1 hour

chrome knot

thx bae

forest arrow
#

Alright I’m back goodmorning friends lol

charred saddle
#

gm

chrome knot
#

good morning!!

#

noo nooo its all better now

mighty stump
#

The most blatant disrespect I have seen towards the people who are respectable towards the game

zinc totem
#

there we go i got lunala and necrozma now fused

chrome knot
#

you came too late for that lol

mighty stump
#

Like you absolutely cannot disrespect good players who know better by being the most fuckwitted troll I have seen yet

rustic mountain
mighty stump
#

and expect me not to get upset

forest arrow
#

I joined and was like oh I’ll just hover until it blows over haha

charred saddle
#

makan indomie bang

zinc totem
#

ngl its kinda funny how some people are so donkey that they are type of "My opinion is right while more experienced people who actually are pros at game says otherwise"

chrome knot
#

@zinc totem so for some minor adjustments, indeedee wants to be a sash breaker so id go dazzling gleam > expanding so ur not walled by dark types & ndws moveset wants to be expanding force moongiest beam meteor beam & trick room

#

the whole gimmick of psyspam is you want as many people as possible to be able to set it up lmfao

mighty stump
chrome knot
#

on many teams of that level its common to see 3 trick room setters

mighty stump
#

But pro-level is a different matter

patent marsh
mighty stump
#

Man

zinc totem
chrome knot
#

im unsure ur tera but im sure ndw is already tera water

zinc totem
#

who are not in official tournaments or unable to be in those

zinc totem
mighty stump
#

I don’t get upset often but after a long day and then having to read garbage like that towards decent people

chrome knot
#

ohh noo change to water for ndw

zinc totem
#

oh yea any advice deal with spore spam amoonguses?

mighty stump
#

This just proves my point skills don’t make a good player, it’s all about attitude

zinc totem
#

another type that 70% of time beats my team

mighty stump
#

I’m genuinely upset

zinc totem
mighty stump
#

Even from piping up I was upset

#

What the hell

charred saddle
chrome knot
#

i think vs teams that are more balancey with amoongus play tailwind mode and nuke it

charred saddle
#

plan it better

mighty stump
#

My highest recommendations is just to completely avoid engagement

violet parcel
#

please do try to appease the situation instead of adding fuel. it would help a lot. ty

zinc totem
charred saddle
#

ill try for the future

chrome knot
#

like ndw speed stat is flexible enough to play both for sure

and emma and tofu did try ease situation too

mighty stump
#

No I came in swinging

#

I was upset

zinc totem
mighty stump
#

That was a tame version of me

zinc totem
#

so they dont even bring it out before tr is up LUL

chrome knot
#

ive seen it a little but safety goggles indeedee is valid

zinc totem
#

like caly-ice or girafarig

chrome knot
#

tho psychic seed is a safety net vs knock off

charred saddle
#

i like seeds indeedee now, no knockoff extra damage is so nice

zinc totem
#

yeah i use rocky helmet due having seen so many physical mons that has multiattacks (rapid strike urshifu)

mighty stump
#

Ive seen Grass Tera. You still get chunked by U-Turn though

#

If you really want PsySeed

zinc totem
#

so follow me gives more of that safety for phys mons

charred saddle
#

rocky helmet doesnt give safety

#

only reflects

mighty stump
#

Say

#

Out of curiosity

#

How did that person know I wasn’t even in the circuit

zinc totem
#

in safety sense they think abit more that they dont just go rapid strike next turn but switch or forces them change move

bold geode
#

Wtf did I even miss tf

charred saddle
#

newcomer

bold geode
#

Also Leo
Why does Rilla learn Snarl

zinc totem
charred saddle
#

so i assumed its an alt

bold geode
mighty stump
zinc totem
#

so it could also been banned person's alt LUL

zinc totem
mighty stump
#

I see

zinc totem
#

thats maybe more possible

mighty stump
#

Sigh

bold geode
#

Why is it that whenever I'm gone, the shitty people come out

zinc totem
mighty stump
#

Okay

charred saddle
#

only 1 shit people everytime monke

mighty stump
#

Well anyways

zinc totem
charred saddle
#

so now itts you that we have to deal with

bold geode
#

Fuck you Tofu (love you Tofu)

zinc totem
mighty stump
#

Legitimately if people want to talk shit it needs to stop being behind an alt like wtf

chrome knot
#

i only shit talk tofus iron hands during our raidNekoLaugh

mighty stump
#

And also tomorrow is my Region Rumble match

bold geode
mighty stump
#

I have 0 prep cause I was too busy moving LOL

zinc totem
#

for me legimitately if you gonna give argument and that argument gets shot down with proof and experience of players, you stopo being stubborn and do more research

#

but beacuse you're not professional your knowledge is invalid arguments are sooo dumb

mighty stump
#

No fucker gives advice cares if you take it or not

patent marsh
#

@mighty stump 😭 based on individual performances in their ideal teams and damage calcs and their flaws taken into account, Encore would be lower but if you make her a full normal attack bot and ignore rest of her kit you just need 2 healers/buffers to keep her up arkeknine

zinc totem
zinc totem
#

thats what i was referring LUL

patent marsh

Arknights I can say is one of the few gachas I played longer though

mighty stump
#

I’m convinced everything is a character attack to people more dumb when it comes from people who know better

zinc totem
#

actual f2p friendly gacha

patent marsh
#

yea I only quit arknights cause friends and myself slowly lost interest to keep going

zinc totem

#

hello everyone

#

im gonna start a vc

zinc totem
#

im convinced that people who argues something and is "meta" and "results" or something similar or like "this is used here and there not this" sees world from small lens that only players who are in worlds or in circuits or official tournaments are only valid people whose opinions matters

patent marsh
#

@mighty stump my yinlin rn crit dmg electro electro atk atk

charred saddle
#

my encore hitts 28k charge + 3k per ttic with tthe gimmick thing

patent marsh
charred saddle
#

patent marsh
#

charred saddle
#

patent marsh
dull ibex
#

interestin

patent marsh
#

though Imma drop the game upon 1.1's update

zinc totem
#

@chrome knot what was the move set for necrozma dawn wing again?

chrome knot
#

eforce
moongeist beam
meteor beam
trick room

zinc totem
#

does my lunala still keep its set even if fused with necro?

chrome knot
#

keeps moves they c both know fused

#

so yes to all

zinc totem
#

okay cuz i see zero of lunala moves had LUL

#

in ndwg

patent marsh
#

just of it like this

zinc totem
#

so was abit worried

#

crap i need go kill some miniors for shells to get Meteor beam

patent marsh
#

think of the item that fuses them as an item that holds their respective data

zinc totem
#

nvm i got one in my tm pcoket

chrome knot
#

oh omfg im sorry i spread misinformation

zinc totem
chrome knot
#

that only applies when unfusing oops

chrome knot
zinc totem
zinc totem
#

i gave urshifu SS hypertrained speed so that might been mistake

#

while max speed and max attack evs LUL

#

same with bloodmoon ursaluna

chrome knot
#

nah thats fine

#

ok thats less fine

zinc totem
#

cuz i think few days ago they said i should do it for my tailroom core

#

made by dillon no less @chrome knot

mighty stump
#

Failure to understand and apply the basics of the knowledge

zinc totem
craggy dagger
#

hm?

zinc totem
#

i was age 23 or 24 i started have more understanding and apply stuff more generally in knowledges

#

oh yeah i wonder if i should give indeedee EP too Hmmm

#

i gave indeedee psychic to help finish off some pokemons and poison type pokemons

charred saddle
#

idk how i feel bout that

#

it can run 1 move but it rarely uses EP

#

wait did u mean eforce or earthpower

zinc totem
#

yeah i gave it psychic not to get rekt by taunt

chrome knot
charred saddle
#

if u meant earth power no

zinc totem
charred saddle
zinc totem
#

i always forget its force not power LUL

#

@chrome knot what should i fix on my indeedee move set?

charred saddle
#

followme, TR, Helping hand is like 3 very very common ones

zinc totem
chrome knot
charred saddle
#

yeah id like gleam more

zinc totem
#

it leanrs gleam????

#

thats actually new to me LUL

chrome knot
#

yeah

charred saddle
#

it can also run fairy tera

#

not for the damage aspect but like it covers well with its weaknesses

#

dark and fighting resist

zinc totem
#

my terapokemons were lunala with fairy and bloodmoon with normal and fighting on urshifu

charred saddle
#

and fairy in general is good defensive typing

zinc totem
#

but now i switch it to water for dawn wing necrozma

zinc totem
chrome knot
#

keep ursh dark

zinc totem
#

ursh was fighting without changing LUL

chrome knot
#

max bonk wicked blow damage

zinc totem
#

cuz CC

charred saddle
#

i only ever played balance lunala so, it needs fairy

MB, CM, moongeist, protect

chrome knot
#

no dont

zinc totem
#

yeah this is why i run necrozma now water

chrome knot
#

tera dark wicked blow > bc you negate ur intim drops with always crit

zinc totem
#

tho i would love explanation why water

chrome knot
#

defensive monster

zinc totem
#

wouldnt then fairy or something work better or what water does defensively?

craggy dagger
chrome knot
#

has better resists

#

fairy ur neutral to literally everything FukingDies

charred saddle
#

ndw reduces SEdmg

zinc totem
#

what is SE?

charred saddle
#

and water has lots of resists for common moves like steel fire water

#

super effective

zinc totem
#

aaah i see

zinc totem
#

well chiyu wont be doing much now LUL

charred saddle
#

fairy is neutral to most stuff so it closes outt the ability

charred saddle
zinc totem
#

i relied on wideguard for snarl/heat wave chiyus a loty

I don’t like pikalytics spread bcuz idk what they’re calced for

av also usually has bulk

zinc totem

they're usage statistics

which is why most used is 68 spd

but im sad my 20 wins 10 losses is now 20 win 20 loss

#

was doing so good till i met gimmicks

shrewd scarab
#

VGC do be like that

zinc totem
#

shelter goodras, after you clefairys and such

#

oh i didnt know follow me interrupts phantom force

#

thats funny

next stump
#

shelter goodra and after you clefairy aren’t gimmicks though, they’re pretty meta moves on both of those pokemon. If you write off losses to those pokemon as gimmicks it’ll stunt your growth as a player

#

because (at least with clefairy) you will continue to see it for the next 2.5 months

zinc totem
timber falcon
#

for that specific mon

next stump
#

shelter on goodra is common, but goodra is not common

#

if you ever see goodra, immediately expect shelter or iron defense

zinc totem
#

the dude had hisui goodra with shellter, chiyu, grimmsnarl and tornadus

timber falcon
#

h-goodra aint to bad with slow teams tbh

#

from my perspective at least

zinc totem
#

i was thinking building team with hisui goodra one time

#

but i was "meta is mostly legendaries and with certain ones it feels meh"

timber falcon
#

for this reg you should start on the restrcited anyway

zinc totem
#

yeah

#

this is why lunala/NDW is one i use

#

as my restricvted one

timber falcon
#

NDW?

balmy glen
#

a top tier friend of mine was using a csr hoodra team it’s not bad ig

zinc totem
#

necrosma dawn wing

timber falcon
#

ah ok

mighty stump
zinc totem
#

i just love design of both LUL

timber falcon
zinc totem
#

i wish i had pro friend who would help me build abit more team towards me haha

#

also wow i met actual trickroom team

#

i would've been cooked if i didnt have tr on NDW

forest arrow
#

Ive seen CSR/Kommo-o stuff too

zinc totem
#

girafarig slowbro ursaluna tornadus and ghost tree one

timber falcon
#

what-

forest arrow
#

not hoodra but same IDBP concept

zinc totem
#

that was interesting matchup LUL

timber falcon
#

trevenant???

mighty stump
zinc totem
#

trevenant imprison shadow force

timber falcon
#

lmfao

mighty stump
#

Like the execution of that one specifically monke did

#

Sorry Monke

zinc totem
#

ngl if the person let me do trickroom instead of imprisoning

#

he had better chanse win LUL

#

oh yea also origin palkia shiny

dull ibex
#

what is the idea with csr and hoodra

balmy glen
mighty stump
#

Budget CSR and Zama

dull ibex
#

i see

mighty stump
#

Basically it's ideal complimentary

forest arrow
#

ghost type walls hoodra(budget zama) csr cleans up

mighty stump
#

One of the best fighting types

#

just clearing Normie/Dark types for CSR

balmy glen
#

If only Hoodra had wide guard

mighty stump
#

Wide Guard access also helps the mirror if necessary

#

And Snarl

#

So those chi-yus cna suck it

dull ibex
#

should i be trying csr and zama?

balmy glen
#

I was using Thunder wave archaludon in bo1 so free

mighty stump
#

Well you can't, cause it's not double restricted

zinc totem
forest arrow
#

Nah Mira/CIR

dull ibex
mighty stump

It also gives less volatility to the CIR MU

imo

forest arrow

Twave Achaludon? PikaLmao

TWave goated

its vgc time

#

i dont know what its move set is cuz it died

mighty stump
#

Well it's a SpAtker

zinc totem
#

i mean waterfall kingdra is also a thing no?

mighty stump
#

No

#

Hydro Pump/Muddy Water is better value

#

One is stronger, one is spread

zinc totem

i see i see

timber falcon

but it does get dragon dance

zinc totem
#

i hate muddy water ngl, in one battle it lost me game cuz i missed wicked blow

#

also im in my 30s and it childish but would be fun have mentor who is pro LUL

mighty stump
#

I've coached people older than me before and I'm pretty sure I advise people older than me all the time

That;s also probably the general age group of competitive Pokemon players

zinc totem

haha would be fun to be coached by you @mighty stump

I like to think from feedback at least people have found a session with me useful

you guys think spatck ray can work?

otherwise you don’t outspeed CSR guaranteed

nocturne holly
#

Even with scarf?

next stump
#

Yep, you need 252 Adamant to outspeed

mighty stump
timber falcon
#

physical it is

dull ibex
#

tofu taught me everything I know, like how to click sleep powder into a grass type

next stump
#

You can just run 4HP with your current stat spread and that should work

nocturne holly
#

Yea it does

timber falcon
#

do i gain value from wheezing rayquaza? maybe cancel intimidate?

mighty stump
#

Gain value is meh

@next stump do yk what restricted your running at worlds

mighty stump
#

NGas cancels Weather the same how Air Lock would, so it feels redundant, and you can just ClearAm

next stump
#

probably Kyogre or CIR

timber falcon
next stump
#

but we’ll see what does well online and what clicks

balmy glen
#

gotcha

timber falcon
#

but im not seeing any other way it benefits in the current meta so im dropping the idea

balmy glen
#

yeah ill just be spamming the same team and just have more games than everyone now

zinc totem
#

what item lowers the speed of pokemon ? these are interesting ones

balmy glen
#

except for OPL ill change it up

timber falcon
next stump
#

that’s gonna be the best approach tbh, especially for people like us at our first worlds

zinc totem
# balmy glen can u rephrase this

balmy glen

and meets you in those instances

balmy glen
#

I mean i've fought him twice now

hm...

mighty stump
#

Cause of the chip woujld have put me into range

balmy glen
#

he's really nice he said hes scared of facing aurelian,myself, and one other I forgot cuz we're like the young upcomers

mighty stump
#

Huge compliment

zinc totem
balmy glen
#

aurlien is scarier tho for sure cuz hes been playing longer

#

I gotta lock in and catch up to him

zinc totem
#

i've never ben brave enough for competitive otuside tournaments in my country time to time

mighty stump
#

Wish I had tours

#

No

#

Wish I even had time-appropriate online tours

balmy glen
#

thing that aurelian and i both have is very supportive moms I realized that helped us a lot lol

mighty stump
#

Mine would have whooped my ass if I said I wnted to play Pokemon as a hobby

#

So now I'm a doctor

zinc totem
balmy glen

Okay so basically

Similar stuff

zinc totem

I do the same with my volcarona dw lol

I slap my volcarona with anything like its rice

oh u can

but lucario base stats makes it so unusable sad

where its niche is beat ice and flutter manes

Hi, so recently i have been really wanting to get into competitive and dont really know where to start. I feel like singles would be easy for me to understand so i think i would like to start out there. I dont have a team yet, so im wondering if i should try to build my own or use an already popular one to get started. Any suggestions?

next stump
#

Hello 🙂

Most people in this chat tend to focus on doubles (since it’s the official competitive mode for tournaments, otherwise known as VGC) but there are some singles players here. I’d recommend looking on YouTube for videos of people playing Battle Stadium Singles, the name of the format you’re looking for

#

In general though, building your own team is not really recommended until you have a grasp on the basics

I think part of the charm of Ursa is that you can play towards TR with Farig/Hands/Ursa but Lando being faster than a chunk of the meta can be beneficial

That's the point

I'm not stating it trying to make it impressive

Just saying a calc for stats I wanna use

try calcing wood hammer, wild charge i think-
That would be a good start-
to calc higher bp first

Fair

#

I don't think it's taking any grassy terrain wood hammers with a reasonable amount of investment

craggy dagger
#

yeah

polar canyon
#

Yeah no

#

I think it's just a forced switch/tera vs rilla

if anything try calcing some lower stuff as well-
play rough zac, standard pao set, etc etc

I could try to get a 3hko with leftovers when no sword of ruin or something

Welp 3-3 drop
All cuz Snarl missed

strange fjord
#

sad but it happens

bold geode
#

Well they had Caly S and Wellspring Ogerpon in the game right (with Chi Yu and Urshifu Rapid Strike) and like
I was basically stuck in Snarl spam unless

#

Yeah Throat Chop don't look to have been in range until the turn where Snarl missed

#

So I was basically stuck in Snarl spam cuz like
Otherwise I'm playing a mindgame of when Oger will redirect and like usually that ain't so bad, but they were so fuckin sporadic with it that I basically couldn't tell at all when they would and wouldn't

#

Like I was making decent reads the whole tour
But I couldn't read them at all cuz they kept doing shit that didn't make sense
T1 swapped out Caly to Urshifu, which died to a Grassy Glide that I figured was obvious AF
Then they NEVER tera'd Caly S in front of Ting Lu (I know Snarl Ting Lu don't do much, but it was Sash Caly so like I'd still be scared a bit) and they just were doing whatever tf with Oger
Like I basically tried changing up shit, going from Wide Guarding to just Helping Hand Snarling or even went for Helping Hand Heavy Slam on a turn they should've follow Med but I predicted they wouldn't and they didn't redirect
Just like nothing made sense

mighty stump
#

Probably just don’t think about it then review it again like in 1-2 days time with a different perspective

bold geode
#

That vs my wins which were pretty clean

mighty stump
#

No cause you’re saying you had trouble figuring out their plays

#

I’m saying you can clean up your logic

bold geode
#

Oh yeah
In the moment like I just couldn't tell
Like everything I was doing made sense, but they just did shit that didn't

I guess I got caught up in trying to get logic outta their plays
