[molten oasis]

https://tenor.com/view/mocking-angry-smash-table-gif-16395319

[rustic mountain]

oof

[modern harbor]

!!!

[mighty stump]

Nice

ong your nails need to be cut

[supple delta]

ight i made what i believe to be a tailwind team lmk what yall think https://pokepast.es/a3df28ebdc9c79bf (goth is for anti trickroom)

[molten oasis]

i found, another, tauros

normal shiny, im gonna cry

[solid frigate]

oh boi Drago- you don't wanna see that team as well

[cyan smelt]

I know your pain, I'm still searching for mini tatsugiri

[molten oasis]

that team needs WORK

[supple delta]

i figured lmao

[molten oasis]

rapid strike over single strike shifu, assault vest on rillaboom, drop sylveon and gothitelle

[supple delta]

what do i use to stop trick room

like run taunt on torn?

[molten oasis]

you dont need to stop trick room

[cyan smelt]

No good with indeedee caly

[molten oasis]

but taunt on cloak torn is ok

otherwise you just play through tr

here 1 sec

https://pokepast.es/3103610a14b7293c

try this out

[supple delta]

whats the premise

[cyan smelt]

Regjdrago go brr

[molten oasis]

the core, incin amoonguss shifu zac

should let zacian get enough room to get a swords dance off and sweep through a team

incin is FO pressure, amoonguss is redirection

shifu is the incin answer

then torn is for tw and rain dance for koraidon mu, and regidrago is for spread damage

[cyan smelt]

What do you do against scarf urshifu and kyogre

[molten oasis]

Tailwind

tera dragon

[cyan smelt]

Fair enough

[supple delta]

ive never seen a cosmic power firespin stall etenetus before so weird

[molten oasis]

was it marked? yes

was it uncommon? yes

am i gonna cry? probably

[solid frigate]

f

[torn parrot]

11 hours till worlds

[molten oasis]

11 hours till i TOTALLY watch worlds

[cyan smelt]

i'll be sleeping

[modern harbor]

no theyre cute i think you mean they need to be painted ✨

[mighty stump]

Yall need to watch worlds come on

its hype

[chrome knot]

what

[chrome knot]

yeah do that they’re cute

[molten oasis]

calyrex mirrors are not fun

csr vs cir is not fun either

ik there will probably be more than that, im still not that interested in matches with those 2

so please lmk if there's interesting stuff on stream

cuz otherwise idgaf

[chrome knot]

seeing the worst take live ngl

[molten oasis]

oh sorry if im not interested in nasty plot/calm mind into astral barrage

or get this, glacial lance into the amoonguss? crazy

i am not interested in the horses ok?

[chrome knot]

signs you MAY be a casual

[molten oasis]

ok and?

sorry i find the horses boring, does that make me a casual? sure

whatever you say

[chrome knot]

[molten oasis]

like what you like, i dont like caly, so im just not interested

[knotty mirage]

So is it safe bet to say caly s will win the championships

[mighty stump]

I mean

I think the point is to always look at the underlying stuff

Like ya, I get your point

Mirrors are boring

But the thought process and decisions playing out is the fun part

[molten oasis]

i get that

mm

[knotty mirage]

I really hope zamazenta win tho so it can match his sister that already win swsh championship

[molten oasis]

i'll watch if it isnt a caly mirror, which, hopefully doesn't happen much

i'll probably watch top cut no matter what cuz top cut's always fun

[chrome knot]

mirrors that require setup are usually the most intricate bc it requires some out of the box thinking to outpace their opponent

[mighty stump]

Yeah exactly

Like where’s the breakpoint

What gamble are they going for

Anyways I hope Terapagos wins

[chrome knot]

CIR is on my fantasy team so go that

[mighty stump]

Hell no

[chrome knot]

wtf!! you dont want me to get a stellar crown booster box :(

[mighty stump]

no!!! not if CIR wins!!!

I want Palkia to win!!!

[chrome knot]

but!!!!

[mighty stump]

LOL

[chrome knot]

WTF oh hell nahhhh

picks from hell

[mighty stump]

Solgaeo!!!

Tera Normal!!!

[mighty stump]

I like how exactly 0 people tried Solgaeo

Like

Literally

[chrome knot]

no reason to

that guy is trash

[mighty stump]

Yeah but not even for meme content reasons

Like

Its so funny

[chrome knot]

hard life when you provide nothing

[mighty stump]

Dw bro, I’m about to play SolKyo

With Choice Band!!!

[molten oasis]

emma's point is valid, i still could care less

[chrome knot]

boutta smash ur pc into a million pieces so you cant login to showdown

[cyan smelt]

world's is on too early for me, but i might watch the stream when i wake up

[chrome knot]

what timezone are you in?

[cyan smelt]

aest

so it starts at 5:30am for me

[cyan smelt]

beat up mausape and arch is my new least favourite thing

[coarse tree]

Protect is too common in competitive, completely nullifieing Slaking.

[cyan smelt]

Slaking is gimmicky because they'll just target weezing

And once weezing goes down slaking is useless

[cyan smelt]

yes most people run weezing and slaking

[mighty stump]

Plus

[cyan smelt]

not slaking by itself

[mighty stump]

NGas doesn't mean you can skip Truant

If Slaking moved and Weezing died

You'll always get the Truant proc after

So turn counting doesn't really work

Neutralising Gas.

It de-activates Truant.

[dapper crag]

Ability: Neutralizing Gas

While this Pokemon is active, Abilities have no effect. This Ability activates before hazards and other Abilities take effect. Does not affect the As One, Battle Bond, Comatose, Disguise, Gulp Missile, Ice Face, Multitype, Neutralizing Gas, Power Construct, RKS System, Schooling, Shields Down, Stance Change, Tera Shift, Zen Mode, or Zero to Hero Abilities.

SableyeBot version 4.28.0

[cyan smelt]

deactivates most abilities too

yeah it's not very bulky

yes

but even if it protects they just double target it the next turn

[nocturne holly]

https://pokepast.es/348df1c11c8b4b95 thoughts on a fast mode

[mighty stump]

Best to familiarise yourself with the metagame first

It gives you common strategies and interactions to consider

[mighty stump]

Depends on why you need a fast mode

[cyan smelt]

i think i need a fast mode for my team, too often they just double target farig

[bold geode]

@chrome knot

Cute bunny rabbits

[nocturne holly]

[chrome knot]

[spiral ridge]

I’m an extremely heavy sleeper usually so once I clocked out I was out

[chrome knot]

level of sleep depends on how comfy i am in terms of socializing before i turned stuff off

otherwise im like on phone doom scrolling as a lonely bean

[spiral ridge]

nah

[chrome knot]

least based gay person

hes a weirdo for sure

[rustic mountain]

why is he a weirdo

[bold geode]

Honestly people complaining about a company/business making moves for publicity
Kinda not the greatest although it could be handled better

[torn parrot]

I hope wolfey lasts a day

Ooo free Pokemon

ooooo cherish ball sylveon

gang this one is worth getting for reg h

[torn parrot]

YAS GIMETHATSHIT

[rustic mountain]

wdym

[bold geode]

I fully like agree with him like speaking on what he believes right
But yeah sometimes when all my feed is him it can get kinda annoying

[rustic mountain]

hes speaking on injustice i dont get why thats annoying or weird. i think ppl just dont like being made uncomfortable and accountable

[bold geode]

The whole thing going around about the Center's shelves being empty
Some people hoarded and scalping but some idiots go after even the creators who don't do it cuz they got early access

[chrome knot]

not just that tweet

[rustic mountain]

not saying hes 100% right everytime but i respect it and in this case i agree

[valid wagon]

What are y’all talking about?

[torn parrot]

No idea

[valid wagon]

I think I’m out of the loop

[chrome knot]

dw abt it

[torn parrot]

It’s okay just ignore it and watch horses

🤝

[valid wagon]

I’m gonna make food while we wait

[rustic mountain]

yea i saw. ppl pointing fingers at eachother instead of the multibillion dollar company. like not that scalpers and shit arent at fault to an extent but theres blame to go around for more then just them. tpci sees this shit and doesnt do anything to curtail it

[bold geode]

For me I'm not talking the content but the pace he tweets about shit
Like for example when the more recent Neil shit came out, dude must've made like 5-6 tweets in the span of like 2-4 hours not even counting replies
Like bro get off Twitter for a sec

[pallid hare]

Better idea, just leave twitter

[bold geode]

Yeah I mean like don't blame the people for taking possibly a chance of a lifetime
Shit on the company who gave it to them

[bold geode]

I keep it mainly cuz of like
Promotion 🤷‍♂️

[chrome knot]

chronically online vgc twitter is weird

LFG AURELIEN SOULA WINNING WORLDS

[rustic mountain]

to each their own, i dont get why speaking on that "too" much is an issue in and of itself tho. twitter is for sharing thoughts. if some1 bothers u that much jus block em right?

[bold geode]

Right I didn't block but I basically told Twitter "hey just don't show me this shit"

[rustic mountain]

yea nd thats fair

[bold geode]

But I might block later cuz that didn't work too long apparently

Man Twitter is fuckin stupid

[valid wagon]

I left twitter a long time ago and straight up a lot of my stress went away

[rustic mountain]

twitter sucks now haha the features dont even do what they should

[valid wagon]

I’d rather be out of the loop than caring about things I can’t control

[pallid hare]

Just don't care about anything

[rustic mountain]

social media is def a double edged sword, the internet in general really

[bold geode]

Yeah once again I mainly keep it just for promotion

[chrome knot]

yo did this caster just say go is the most exciting

can we throw rocks at her

I mean opinions lol

isnt go just button mashing

[bold geode]

Although it is a weird opinion lmao

[chrome knot]

it is yes LOL

[pallid hare]

Maybe they like button mashing

[valid wagon]

Pokemon go is so boring lmao

At least unite and tcg have a little bit of strategy

[rustic mountain]

i wouldve even tolerated tcg even tho thats boring as fuck but go?

[chrome knot]

tcg is all strategy

[valid wagon]

Tcg is fun to play but boring as fuck to watch

I play tcg with my brother sometimes

[rustic mountain]

if i understood tcg better id def find it more enjoyable but i dont

[bold geode]

Well TCG at least has a HUGE ASS following

[chrome knot]

its fun tbh

[rustic mountain]

the tcg is huge, thats their bread and butter

[chrome knot]

i learnt it recently its been pretty fun

[bold geode]

How big is GO competitive even?

[rustic mountain]

big enough

[chrome knot]

however ptcg has crippled me for life

[rustic mountain]

go is pretty popular

[bold geode]

I know a Limitless org had trouble making GO work so it's probably smaller than VGC

[chrome knot]

anything that resembles a card in shape and feeling i have to flick shuffle

[rustic mountain]

oh yea i think vgc is for sure bigger then go haha

prolly is like tcg > vgc > go > unite

[chrome knot]

~100 players to 900 players whos bigger call it

unite is bigger than go im ngl

[foggy lodge]

yeh

[valid wagon]

How many days do the championships last for vgc? I haven’t watched any of them until now

[spiral ridge]

makes sense

[rustic mountain]

i believe it, was jus a guess

[bold geode]

Unite bigger than go?

[chrome knot]

3

[spiral ridge]

i hope it is genuinely

[bold geode]

Then again you also consider don't they have specific teams?

[spiral ridge]

also get your sylveons yall

[rustic mountain]

i hate unite tho so i hope its last

[valid wagon]

Prevents the target from switching out. The target can still switch out if it is holding Shed Shell or uses Baton Pass, Flip Turn, Parting Shot, Teleport, U-turn, or Volt Switch. If the target leaves the field using Baton Pass, the replacement will remain trapped. The effect ends if the user leaves the field.

[bold geode]

Thing is too Adam's CSR is not carrying much spatk

[shut oar]

Even the caster was like oh that’s weak sauce

[bold geode]

[valid wagon]

My moms ordering fish as well tonight’s goated so far

[spiral ridge]

[valid wagon]

They delayed the stream so Adam could finish hunting their incineroar

[shut oar]

Pffffft

[valid wagon]

Felinferno is such a fire name compared to inceneroar ima be honest

[spiral ridge]

wow such unique choices by both to tera and use setup move

[shut oar]

Oh man that this worlds is gonna be fun to watch but might get a bit predictable xD

[spiral ridge]

and parting shot 😭

[mighty stump]

this is some casual ahh takes I’m reading here

[valid wagon]

Ooo

Shohei finna clutch up I bet you

[rustic mountain]

[bold geode]

CSR vs CSR, Shohei is on stream rn

[mighty stump]

God damn

[bold geode]

He's killing it

[molten oasis]

Very cool

[foggy lodge]

some plays are so risky

[mighty stump]

I mean

They have to lol

[molten oasis]

https://tenor.com/view/peace-out-gif-22295199

[mighty stump]

It’s a mirror

[forest arrow]

Ahh yes adam running two incins

[bold geode]

There's ClAm Rilla and Helmet Incin too

[mighty stump]

If people only see “oh its a mirror its boring its the same thing” yall just not seeing the point of the game 🤷‍♂️

[forest arrow]

they fixed it lol

[valid wagon]

Oof

[next stump]

1-0 right now

[molten oasis]

Those are the actual sets?

[foggy lodge]

Yep

[bold geode]

On Shohei's team

[foggy lodge]

Mirrors are some of the most interesting to me

[molten oasis]

Neat

[shut oar]

Man imagine if one Pokémon with competitive was here

[bold geode]

Also his opponent had Roaring Moon

[forest arrow]

letss go!

[valid wagon]

This is rough

[molten oasis]

I’m not interested in watching horse gameplay so, back to shiny hunting

https://tenor.com/view/peace-out-gif-22295199

[bold geode]

Horse gameplay funny moments

[shut oar]

Do both

[valid wagon]

I’m hunting a second shiny mewtwo during this

[forest arrow]

I find mirrors really enjoyable

[bold geode]

Actually funny enough, on caster predictions, the restricted predicted most was Kyogre

[molten oasis]

Cool

[mighty stump]

Watching which point the player is gonna pull the trigger is just

Really fun

[spiral ridge]

looks like adam won this one with a good ass protect call

[foggy lodge]

Puts me nervous

[valid wagon]

ooooo

[foggy lodge]

Game 3 les gooo

[molten oasis]

Kyogre winning would be very cool

[spiral ridge]

tiny ass things are making the mirror just tilt to one side slightly

[rustic mountain]

i think ogre gets top 8 but doesnt win

[mighty stump]

That’s why it’s fun. Literally the whole point of Pokemon is micro adjustments + risk-reward management

[spiral ridge]

yeah other matchups can be heavily one sided

[mighty stump]

One switch can put you in a winning position

[spiral ridge]

this is just a predict off

[rustic mountain]

mirrors can sometimes b annoying to play but to watch they are usually pretty fun

[spiral ridge]

https://tenor.com/view/death-note-note-book-staring-contest-pillars-gif-24376395

[foggy lodge]

Yess

[mighty stump]

60/40 at worst for solid teams with overall good matchups.

If its too lopsided you just made a bad team

Lol

[rustic mountain]

[spiral ridge]

fair lmao

[foggy lodge]

True

[spiral ridge]

even then, this is like 50.1/49.9 with how little difference there is in the teams

[foggy lodge]

I doubt a good player builds a team with insta lose to X archetype

[mighty stump]

Piloting

Same teams gets piloted in different ways

Surprisingly you do have to play the game well to be good at it

[valid wagon]

what’s bro cookin

[foggy lodge]

ohno

[valid wagon]

Oooooo

[mighty stump]

Good try, that was a good play

[valid wagon]

OOOOOO

[grizzled bronze]

damn huge

[valid wagon]

YO

[mighty stump]

Shohei made the perfect safe play

[rustic mountain]

wouldve gotten such big value if he got it right

[valid wagon]

Adam may be cooked early game but can come back

[mighty stump]

Adam had two alternative positive momentum plays

This was one and Shohei called it

Insane

[foggy lodge]

Adam's Inci has will o?

[spiral ridge]

thats pretty good chi[

[valid wagon]

I’m rooting for shohei

Yeowza

[rustic mountain]

fake out: bluff

[mighty stump]

the CM boosts are gonna be a problem to try and break through

[foggy lodge]

bluff

[rustic mountain]

oh god

[spiral ridge]

yikes another CM

[mighty stump]

ruhroh

[foggy lodge]

will o to it's own caly could work but it's risky idk

[mighty stump]

RM in the back, Adam can lock this game

[spiral ridge]

he cant safely switch for another fake out can he? something would need to die if he wants a FO?

[rustic mountain]

adam has the momentum back

[mighty stump]

Nah that’s probably one of the best plays you can do

but AB OHKos here

So no need

[foggy lodge]

Roaring can p much win alone against Caly shadow no?

[spiral ridge]

this sus is not fucking moving 😭

[rustic mountain]

hes angling to p shot out and then get incin back in on the shroom slot. otherwise he just gets steamrolled

[spiral ridge]

tanky bitch

[mighty stump]

Adam just needs to keep pressuring here and chip

[spiral ridge]

yeah

[mighty stump]

Rilla can close the game for him with Glide later down the line

[spiral ridge]

mm

[mighty stump]

U-Turn should have gone into CSR slot though

[spiral ridge]

even if he keeps sus healthy?

[valid wagon]

Horsin time

[spiral ridge]

oh u turn right

[mighty stump]

I wonder how fat Shohei’s CSR is

Lol

[rustic mountain]

eh if u wanna cover for shroom staying in as well as incin coming in and csr also protecting and want that pivot i get why ud want that

[foggy lodge]

I think its max speed

[spiral ridge]

oh shit another

[foggy lodge]

Must be quite bulky

[chrome knot]

shohei csr faster than other

HOWEVER this csr is bulk city

[mighty stump]

Didnt expect moon to win that was a fun set fs

[mighty stump]

Imagine going into your Worlds run beating the current World Champion

[spiral ridge]

that was fun af to watch

went from 4-4 to just sweep so quick

[molten oasis]

fine I’ll watch worlds

[mighty stump]

If that was me I could be 1-14 drop or something and be happy anyways

[rustic mountain]

i did not think he could win 2 straight but he played it really well

[mighty stump]

Yeah Shohei was playing really well as well

[rustic mountain]

yea

[bold geode]

Good set

[rustic mountain]

[bold geode]

Tofu do you work later?

[mighty stump]
