Which team has valiant?
Cir team
e speed was rough tho couldve gotten more value out of the entei. i think it taking 2 eruptions might b enough tho
Which like player wise
Yuta ishigaki
Yuta Ishigaki
Oof
when reg H starts offically im gonna wait for baltimore to finish so I can use the top teams for some inspiration
Zama finally goes down
Zama did a ton
no…?
itll b around. only thing is its very specific which kind of team comp it wants to be on
its 4pm for them lmao
no
yah
?
so then uh-
emma why the 4pm comment
Bro I’m not gonna be able to watch top 4
no…?
Ik it’s on the hard TR team being streamed rn
Michael our GOAT in here
Let's go zama 
1-0 let's go
are u dumb nova

Kinda late for me rn
top cut today, finals tomorrow.

yes i am
about time you realized
I want the zama to win
oh no ive known
yaya ok
i said that
jus catch the replays 2mw
Is Michael going to get back to back finals!?!?!?!
[Message](#competitive_discussion message) in #competitive_discussion
top 2 to top 8 atleast b2b worlds in ur first 2 seasons jesus
Bro is him
Fair but the hype lol
honestly dude might be wemby
LMFAO
up to u lol
rizzo-jordan, wolfey-bron
Lol

LMAO
Weather ball torkoal???
LETS GOOOO
soul read
also good heads up to go for the double cuz wtf else r u doing there

Gg
It's over
Ive seen enough
ZAMA VS MIRAIDON FINALS WOOHOOO
Kelsch winning worlds
Actually that was not a OHKO lol
Michael back to back top 4
Gallade is out :((
goat
This dude is a fucking machine damn
That's unfortunate
Nope
Back to back finals??
If michael wins this he's the true goat unlike those American frauds of rizzo and glick 
this was top 8
he has the chance to now tho
Yea I meant like “will he do it” haha
I can sort of relate to Wolfe. I went to a big local this year and I went undefeated in swiss, then I lost all my next rounds
He's going against another cis team
Calyrex Is gone BYE BYE
Still one Calyrex-ice team
A what team?
The iron valiant cis team
Are we gonna see a miraidon finish?
hold on
For the semi
CIR not Cis lmao
Do you mean cir 😭
lol
Yeah my b

entei being torkoal fodder both games was pretty funny
Lol
Zamazenta is going against a straight team 
The double protect didn't even matter tbh
Damn I got to better myself and not assume my b
Entei did its job imo
Agreed
Zama winning would be crazy
Anyways this just pog
If it dies he has Chien Pao Rilla
First game just tanked eruption but did it well
Plz Lord it'd be kinda poetic
Both Dogos winnning worlds would be happy
Zama would have died without damaging Torkoal without it
Zama also has to break through some Miraidons tho
Bro went from shit to busted
Is Wolfe out?
Yup
top 32
CSR is gone too
Uh huh
We've told u he was out multiple times now lol
if pao cant 2hko torkoal it could just kill rilla and get pao to sash then kill it cuz rilla would have to focus ursa the following turn. also would have protect mind games on it so if he protects and michael doesnt call it its even more in diegos favor. the double def aided him big time
Swear we told u cuz it happen the same time as the last zac
Zama Mirai Finals would be hype
I think my focus was elsewhere no?
Guess so
It would
Tired? WAKE UP MDB GET THIS BREAD
Zamazenta and Miraidon are also Blue Version Box Art Legendaries
I’d care about my choice of restricted getting knocked out a little more than Wolfe not getting top 16
Zama is red box
Grant was last Zac and he lost in t32
Calyrex-ice is the blue version of the crown tundra legend
then why Dialga Tera Raid is in Scarlet
Also Wolfe lost in t32
There's one more Calyrex iirc
No more shadow rider
Red Blue
Gold Silver
Ruby Sapphire
Diamond Pearl
Black White
X Y
Sun Moon
Sword Shield
Scarlet Violet
So yeah
Valiant and CIR, Michael will fight it next
But CSR went bye bye I believe after top 8 went up
Ice rider is a more appealing Mon to win tbh
Idt CSR even made it into t8
Plz zama vs miraidon. plz no calyrexs getting to finals. I despise that horse riding deer.
So that makes the BLUE DOG the RED BOX ART and the RED DOG the BLUE BOX ART
yep
it did not
you’re stupid lol
top 8 was 3 mirai, 3 cir, zama and pagos
Also it alternates if the blue or red box goes first every so often
Red blue… diamond and pearl… scarlet and violet
Zac is the blue restricted, zama is the red restricted
This is top 4?
Yup
Exciting
Michael vs Luca fr
Zama vs CIR , Mirai vs Mirai
1st match in the semifinals is a mirror match
looking at the zamazentas past games I think he got this
so miraidon is guaranteed top 2
Yep
Yup

Miraidon can win in its debut generation
thatd b cool
Nah we were agreeing
id like mirai or zama to win
Miraidon is cold blooded
I’d be very exciting for that happening
Zama is deserved too, what a comeback from where it was last gen
honestly that would be way better than wolfey winning for me
It comes down to the pilots tho
yea zama winning the next gen after zacian would b very dope
Crazy what giving it body press can do
MDB less go
go cir !!!
Zac at least top 32, I think it had a place
Be cool to see either zama or mirai win
idc for names wanna win fantasy
Mirai is interesting cuz it war looked down on before reg g
It was
And not top 2?
terapagos not winning worlds is a W for me
Literally reversed lmao
*now
and how the tables have turn
nobody who wins prediction tours have any idea what they actually doin gang
Ok
How the turns have tabled
how do you have such a Skill issue when you have a WIDE GUARD ARAQUANID
I’m pretty sure a lot of top players thought that mirai was gonna be bad lol
@craggy dagger dude novienovie im so tired
got cooked at a Reg G locals. am finally ready to move onto Reg H.
It about to start!!!
Not surpised most teams had built in counters for it.
go lie down
and just listen to the stream :3
This is a mirror match
It's technically not
iron valiant dreammmmmm
Inci lost worlds
One has single strike the other has rapid strike
yah
The win streak is broken
theres no incin left lmao
zama killed incin
wtf, i cant even see my linked gif
This is the last match right? Or are they gonna show the other topb4
I'm predicting rapid strike wins
I like how its the same 6 pokemon for both players lol
iron hands urshi have a chance to go b2b worlds wins
That's what I just said... a mirror match
Slightly different move sets
But different urshifus
nice
the hands comeback
Ogerpon, iron hands and farigiraf have slight move differences
ahh damn i figured both were watershifu

here we go
Luca got this
the special attack drop is crazy
That matters so much
its locked into edrift
@craggy dagger
i think g1 goes to Luca
literal mirror haha
Yeah Luca should win this
Luca wins
was about to ask if it was a speed tie but luca has tailwind so ggs to luca
Great read from luca
Definitely
oof
100%
It's tera bug?
W bug tera
Wow surpised the whims fainted there
whims isnt bulky
Not a very bulky mon and no focus sash
Helping hand tera fairy specs boosted dazzling gleam
HH doesnt help either
How many trick room turns left?
1 i think
very well played
Congrats to Luca
Damn that was a hell of a play
Luca had some incredible reads
gta just give it to luca he got outplayed
yeah fs
Come on Zama plz win
amazing run, rough to see it end there im sure but top 4 at worlds is something most players will never get
So true
I wanna see amoongus go all the way
It already has multiple times
I wanna see amoongus go all the way in the absurd power of gen 9
incin's out too LOL
midcineroar
ye
Gen 8 caused a lot of power creep
i think this tournament its just having to deal with nuke buttons from miraidon and zama
like, wyd when you explode to that lol
zama is not a nuke like mirai haha
to incin it is
oh u meant specifically for incin i thought u meant in general
I hope it nukes this ice rider
incin specifically yea
Body press is brutal from the doggo

My money is on caly
zama's got this
Either way, it's gonna be a great match
i think if it was most other players other then michael id prolly pick cir but idk i think he gets there again
I voted cir to win
in routing for miraidon
still want MDB to take it
I think Yuta will win, but it's definitely gonna be close
yea i picked csr to win it didnt mean i wanted it to haha
zamidzenta🔥🔥🔥🔥
I was referring to the upcoming match, but finals is gonna be amazing
calling zama mid when its in top 4 is crazy
Zama does well into ice caly
I just realized Michael hasnt gone against a miraidon team this whole worlds
Much like Yuta, I too love trick room
Entei is better than Inci 👆
road ends at t4 buster
only time will tell
my balls will tell me the right answer tbh
This is gonna be a hell of a match
Both yuta and Michael haven't face a miraidon team this whole tournament is wild

is valiant beating the mid allegations
Valient in top 4 is pretty cool
he def atleast prepped the mu
Considering it's in the top 4, I'd say yes
it beats mid allegations if it wins
Haven’t seen this team from yuta before, but I don’t think it has a good matchup
lando amoonguss could be a rough road ngl
wait is that valiant what
valiant dream is realllllllllll
Trick room amoongus is a nightmare to fight
Is that a freaking iron valiant?
Ayup
why am i in the pot
mmmmm pot stew
Fast encore coaching nice tech
is scarf shifu not the sauce?
Yeah, gave me wide guard vibes considering Diego’s Gallade, the rest of the moveset is a bit surprising to me
goggles substitute shifu-?
we in a sash/goggles shifu phase ig
sash is everywhere
scarf is really difficult to play with so much bolt and rillaboom
tclap and bolt was around a lot so ehhh
in a not tclap scenario yes it is but with tclap and bolt its ehhhhhh
Yeah, mystic water and scarf fell away
you’re resigned to something like ghost tera
yaya glide rilla too
its a limiting set
makes sense
good read
dayum
Yeah, now it’s threatening with aqua jet
im geting back on goggles shifu
why was it tera fire amoongus lol
not over until its over
Yuta was probably more concerned about the rillaboom and ogerpon coming into the tournament
pao wake up
nevermind :0
damn
yd u think it was over?
aw shit
Yuta wins this round
GGs

hes losing it fuck
lmao i misjudged this
And that's game 1
MICHAEL NO
beautifulllll
Damn he just styled on him
im sorry i doubted u yutaaaaa
numbers can be deceiving
Dw Michael will win the next 2 games without losing a single mon
lol
bruh if valiant wins 
lets see what happens next game
fantasy stocks rising exponentially
Tree I got a funny question
You think that Aqua Jet would've killed the Amoongus 
valiant dreammmm
end the zama reignnnnn
nah haha
I thought Michael was going to swap in the sleeping chein at the end of the trick roo.
I mean hey it could've
uhhh
prolly not?
it wasnt swords of ruin was it
swords of ruin water tera in the rain
ohhh
That crossed my mind. I doubt it but it would be a decent option in TR
idt it gets there shroom is tanky af
it wouldnt have but eh
ehhh
prolly not?
possibly low health idt a OHKO
Alright time for game 2
There’s the adjustment
I mean STAB + SE + Rain + Tera Water so 🤷♂️
Could've been close
nah needed a crit
Full health caly
thats tough
You do the calc?
Michael identified the threat
Depends on what yuta has in the back, and he has the Tera available (calyrex is Tera dragon here right?)
Ye
i mean assuming uh
252+ Atk Tera Water Sword of Ruin Urshifu-Rapid-Strike Aqua Jet vs. 252 HP / 156 Def Tera Fire Amoonguss in Rain: 224-264 (101.3 - 119.4%) -- guaranteed OHKO
huh am i calcing this wrong
assuming EVs ofc
Oh with more Defense, that could actually be close lmao
ope no if it was bold then
252+ Atk Tera Water Sword of Ruin Urshifu-Rapid-Strike Aqua Jet vs. 252 HP / 156+ Def Tera Fire Amoonguss in Rain: 204-240 (92.3 - 108.5%) -- 43.8% chance to OHKO
we dont know the spreads, i doubt a sub goggles urshi is max atk
yea i mean maybe but i feel like jus off vibes and knowing shroom it doesnt. every urshi is bulky this tour
Damn yuta read him
Oh damn what a call
yaya
Yeah, now yuta could tera dragon and just go ham
risky
hes going all in
yikes
the crit,
WOOOOOOOOO
What reads
shit
Everything just going against Michael now
Wait so who won first too 4 game??
I don't think the crit was necessary
Luca
its joever
got crit twice, good reads by Yuta tho
YESSS
nah it didnt matter
The fucking RNG bruh
The crit didn't matter
Was still pretty hype tho
What a read
nvm its over
wow
Noooo
What about the other way? The way yuta reacted, I didn’t know what he was gonna go for

GGs
Yuta winning this worlds
damn you stupid ass horse
pelipper the goat
CALYREX FINALLLL
Ggs
Yup that was definitely the right move
Luca v yuta
Michael is a worlds finalist. This should've been his time
Who y’all got?
Caly
nope
ggs
man, ggs
FUCK
cir gonna take it
What a match
damn ggs
Yeah probably
I’ll have to check tomorrow morning. Great matches tho
miraidon, you better win tomorrow
miraidon win PLEASE
DUBS
VALIANT DREAM IS REALLLLLL
I would agree but uh Luca played so good I’m voting for him
I got yuta he has great miraidon team counters in his team
Fuck y'all, CIR win it
jet did 69% max so idt crit matters
My money is on Yuta to win it all
japan can possibly win another one 🗣️
Finals are tomorrow right or?
finalist to top 4 b2b in ur first 2 seasons is insane. hell b back
Is speed boost Blaziken good? Jw
yes
Ye
no
No
Not anymore
They nerfed it I guess
no Shadow Rider we take those
Landorus
no its just bad
IF GALADE CANT ITS FUTURE FORM CAN WOOOOO
Nah
Power creep
the cope is real
is it that CIR Gallade team vs Mirai?
yep
Hope Mirai wins then
Hard TR vs Miraidon
That landorus going to do a number to Luca imo
:3
Isn’t it the val team?
It's gonna be a hell of a match
No CIR Valiant
Miraidon this is your time
Plz miraidon
I love trick room, so I'm voting Yuta
I think mirai would be cool to win
But yeah a choice scarf landorus counters Luca
So would cir
Did nobody bring anything to worlds to deal with TR?
Nah, Caly-Ice is the goat, lol
I'd say Yuta has the advantage here
Though I do like Zama
Bike vs Horse
u realize its a 2 player game right? players prep for tr and tr preps for what players try and deal w/ it and outplay haha
thats vgc
yeah there’s uhhhhh
lando i too which would help against bike and hands
we'll see what happens
but hearthflame also bonks into yuta’s team with wood hammers and icy cudgels
shifu 100% gets another win
they both have something to deal with the other
no surprise
His Lando counters 4 of Lucas mons

lol
Regardless, it's gonna be close
checks
Rapid fist urshifu is his only real check to it
Me sad
I'm finna go on cart and run matches
Run that shit back 
Finals are gonna be amazing
worlds actually getting ppl to play reg g? 
Fuck it
lmao
Lmao fuck that. I'm prepping for Reg H xD
Lol
Maybe I can actually run a full Eeveelution team for that too!
and ladder is full of fucking peli archa/mausape which is not fun to fight
"im so mad zama lost im gna play some games and win to make myself feel better!"
(I do also want to run a serious team too)
I been too, but after this it's like a Super Bowl meme I found where a guy BLEW OUT a team in Madden breathing hard like "run that shit back"
hearthflame hits into 3 of yuta’s mons-
plus tera grass ain’t helping yuta
This is the team I'm working on for reg H
Any suggestions?
Lemme cope in peace bruh
LMAOOO
why do you have clefairy?
monke on his anime mc arc fr
LOOOL
Man we were so close to the dream of zama vs mirai final 
stocks for cir fantasy draft EXPLODING
Follow me support for when amoongus doesn't work
Yeah
Meanwhile Moxie on his fuckin villain arc
at least Zama got top 4
why not run maushold then?
REALLLL
oh yeah he's MAD
wen the meme goes too far
maushold is the best follow me user rn, imo
maushold goated
only got himself to blame haha
Hmmmmm
Can I run IDBP Zama with the Entei Pao Rilla core hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
also clear amulet over life orb, palafin doesn't need lorb
taunt
Encore
Super fang
Beat up
i mean you can
Good shit
Peli and Thundy T
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Eviolite bulk and after you for trick room
oof I was rooting for Michael to win it all
Hm?
you have trick room you dont need that
Ohh
Not his fault he couldn't pilot wo chien to day two like the other trainer did 
Its not CIR HTR
He is dropping wo chien?😭😭
Ok
CIR HTR?
Honestly I might throw the 6 MDB had and adapt it a bit
Kinda like Taunt Goggles Shifu
GN TOFU
Htr is hard trick room I think
Expected Diego to get it?

he had goggles sub
i got a set you can use
🖕
Honestly reg g was a really fun reg and I don’t get why people hated it so much

i really want a Gen 9 Restricted to Win
The real positive of this final no rillaboom no incinroar
reg g was cool, but reg h is something ive wanted for awhile
always felt series 1 needed longer
I really enjoyed it
I read gallade or something bro idk im at work
team has valiant
GN
wait
No Rilla in finals right?
Yup
no those r the homies wtf
yaya go sleep
time to play reg h
This is the finals
They literally owned vgc anytime there in the format tbh. Crazy they didn't make it
for Miraidon it isn't-
MDB cooked that team lol
i like rillaboom, could acre less about incineraor
haha well incin was on earlier miraidon comps
but yea rilla would b weird for it
and Against it
This final ain't going happen until like 6 hrs into the stream
So Miraidon's Advantage is to keep the Terrain
Speaking of reg h
https://pokepast.es/502745066af0d74e thoughts on the last two slots? I’m really fighting weak
bc vgc masters is the final event
Oh yeah...
Electric terrain prevents sleep
to not see either in finals is somewhat surprising but given the meta progression and abundance of different style of teams its not that farfetched
treeco. has given 1 Gen Rep to nizalex
Also vgc is the last event. Go than tcg than vgc
yes…
Amoonguss can only Rage Powder and Clear Smog here
Peli fucking dies to Miraidon
which makes vgc masters the last event…
rage powder pretty important here btw
Luca having rapid strike is super important
if no ape super fang and encore on the last spots
true but Yuta has to pick somewhere that benefit from it
Iron Valiant Of Course
goggles/sash, max hp max speed
no but i can give u a reg z maushold spread
K thx
bman54319 has given 1 Gen Rep to drayagedrago
Z?
lmao
you mean A right lol
reg z lmao
no reg z, its gna be in 2027
kek
thats the first max speed jolly incin ive seen this reg
How this look?
i feel like maus doesnt fit here. it feels like u can have something better there

Watch a replay of a Pokémon battle between bloodycheese and DrayageDrag0! Format: [Gen 9] VGC 2024 Reg H; Date: Aug 18, 2024
ur going for like bm ursa balance
And Palafin doesn’t need lorb it can run CA or mystic
Had clefairy before...
Probably some tw
Hoping the final can be as good as Luca vs chenyue 
probably want something offensive or with more utility there
id pick like a dragon type
If you want the tw aspect of bkursa
i only suggested maus due to it being good and having a similar role to clef
I can see hydreigon on it
oh jeez yea looking now you need something offensive
I’ve seen a ton of hydreigon bkursa teams
crash does enough recoil in most cases, u dont want that xtra lo chip. mystic water or clam offer more value
give pala CA, bloodmoon Lorb, hydreigon sounds good here imo
yea hydreigon seems way better there then maus
kommo even bax too
yea
pult
any dragon
ok but what if I’m in a a REALLY Nichesituation where I need to sack my Palafin while doing damage so I can bring in an FO
Bet you didn’t think of that did you
also for the fari, id just go throat spray with HH and hyper voice instead of protect and imprison
Should I go hydreigon or kommo-o?
then u suck and deserve to lose
well thats why, its really niche

LMFAO
i think hydreigon is better but you have the support for IDBP kommo-o
more up to you imo
if ur more comfortable w/ set up, u have the tools w/ incin and shroom
then go kommo
if not hydreigon is good for damage
Alright, Kommo-o it is then
change those other things too
u can slap lo on dreigon or scope lens
I managed to use a new team to make T100 this time, Skeledirge gaming.
scope lens has to run focus energy tho
although tbf
lens dreigon has given me some problems haha
hydrei doesnt NEED to set up lol
nah
im running it now its strong
focus is jus if u need it
Lorb Hydreigon can also work.
i mentioned that already
effectively specs without the drawbacks is cool
My bad then.
ur good, grats on the dirge top 100
Thanks!
dirge has, potential
Ok how's this?
bulky guy
Still wondering what the best Tera type is for it.
wen ive faced it its sucked but that doesnt mean it cant do anything
why are we imprison, wrong kommo-o
oh drago btw i think ull find this replay funny
kommo-o wants iron defense body press
Watch a replay of a Pokémon battle between huhuhyes and Brave12223! Format: [Gen 9] VGC 2024 Reg H; Date: Aug 16, 2024
With lefties and maybe overcoat?
unfortunately clangorous scales is just, not it
i think by team preview u might know why its funny
tf is the other team lol
proof decidueye is mid
Well top 4 was interesting
right there
Trick room win guaranteed btw
hahaha i jus cant, every time i face it it jus dies
also this one wasnt even scrappy
i dont understand the hype
Bro why are there so many decidubitch rain teams
its like, its mid, i dont get it lol
I’ve been seeing them all over ladder
it didn't even kill incin
Easy counter to Dengo and Incin.
this one was decently high too
It can just be very annoying to sue
idk lmao but that mon sucks
play
Like
Yeah it does kind of suck.
theres just better things in the format
Like Skeledirge baby!!
getting crit, flinched, and defense dropped takes makes me so fucking pissed
personally, i think fire tauros is a better answer for dengo
but it’s easy to counter
it has a good move and ability everything else is so bad
Grass/Fighting
Overgrow, Scrappy (Hidden)
88/112/80/95/95/60
530
Decidueye
mid stats

Terrible bulk
bad typing
Like imagine it in a format with a single good flying type that isn’t name Pelipper.
60 spe is ASS
its not terrible
Fun fact, Skeledirge is the only pokemon legal with 66 base speed.
even in a format w/o good flying types its not good
could be 70
you know which pokemon have 60 speed
prima and incin kek
Farigiraf is also 60 speed
excuse me
Yeah but when it has a flinching move.
prima is MID
Porygon2 too
Triple arrows gotta be like the most broken fighting type move.
good dozo answer, water spread is nice and its a good typing
Prim hard walls Dozo.
there's reason to use it
100%.
decidueye is a one trick pony and doesn't even do it that well
granted its been a cppl weeks since ive used prim, its a good mon imo
Prim actually walled my entire new team so I needed to sub a mon out for Rillaboom.
def is ass but its got good sp bulk and great sp atk especially for this format
Haze is definitely better right now.
spray or specs
Yea
Agreed
but its on a shit mon, it balances out
Decidueyebisnt that bad

It’s pretty mid
Triple arrows takes away my fucking will to live
Just outspeed it.
nah i gta be really shown that mon doesnt suck ass cheeks
It literally got base 60 speed.
and i havent been
Yea I agree I meant as it’s not that bad too handle
oh yea its not hard at all to handle
I had one bad triple arrows experience and it like fucked me UP A
leaf blade from it does NOTHING
lmao
also how much spe and bulk are y’all running on pala
Me when they quick claw triple arrows and flinch, drop my defense, AND crit.
no speed max hp
Ok yea I’m doing 4 spe max hp
Jet punch really be carrying.
i mean i wave crash it jus depends
True.
ive really enjoyed the added bulk
Honestly I need some speed control on my team bruh
More bulk keeps it going longer
Paste?
hero is 100
Dude I’m using screens with Skeledirge and wowzers.
Oh actually?
ye
Fast guy.
Baby pala low key hits hard
But yeah screens and Skeledirge is like having an actual wall.
Twave on maus can be speed control
Tera water wave crash is not to be messed with
Idk what you do otherwise
Bro lives a modest choice specs shadow ball behind light screen from Dengo.
It does get t wave
wanna see a game i won w/ baby palafin?
sure
dunked on this tr team
Watch a replay of a Pokémon battle between steez buscemi and huhuhyes! Format: [Gen 9] VGC 2024 Reg H; Date: Aug 17, 2024
BRUH I THINK I OLAYED THIS EXACT SAME TR TEAM
I still can't believe that there's a Valiant in the finals
haha really?
I mean valiant finished #1 on ladder last season.
That mon didn't do anything the whole season and now has guaranteed top 2 at worlds lol
We saw it pop off on cart ladder.
yea usually doesnt translate to bo3 tho
Yea it’s goofy
Cause there’s like 5 people on ladder, from my experience at least.
Oranguru wack
pretty ez to know wat they r trynna do
True.
Yea spam instruct
Oranguru symbiosis is cool tech.
But I have seen too many “win in 3 turns” teams to like it anymore.
💀
its kinda a cop out haha
Freelo
“Just set up TR and have your Ursa BM hyper voice to use up the throat spray item to then receive a lorb.”
like u dont wanna actually use ur brain to play games or adapt in any way its lose in 3 turns or win in 3 turns
unless ur like a very good tr player
Those don’t exist anymore.
Lol
Nah trust, everyone just loves Armarouge weakness policy.
cir balance tho 😎
who tf uses armarouge wp anymore
He got cooked
I think I beat that team once
big time
Too many people I play against.
Hopefully the meta is gonna settle down more since all the worlds players are gonna be back
What was reg e
Was it dlc mons
I forgot 😭
I haven’t played many wp armarouge
They all use scarf Ape too.
And when I do I play the next game and not care cuz wp armarouge is a gimmick
To cheese you on bo1 ladder
I just realized my current team only uses Rillaboom then 5 base game Pokemon.
I ain’t even taking advantage of this reg.
I do think Skeledirge is great this reg though.
its not like the dlc mons are must use. base game has plenty of options
If only unaware worked for rage fist boosts 😔
Weak armour? Scarf? Quick claw?
No maybe scarf
Also why does Skeledirge have a losing MU into both other starters, seems unfair.
But who runs that shit
im boutta play reg g because i wanna try paotei with zac
I wanna do zama team
where u at in ladder
I’ll probably do like Michael’s team ngl
I think 1400
Man people just be running scarf on anything.

hmm yea a bit weird but 1400s has some crazy shit. hell i faced stuff in the 1500s that was crazy
real too bad it can’t hit through protect
The dude I played against was 1600 and was using Oricorio.
https://pokepast.es/0a52b77311e171e4 thoughts? also evs for an entei would be appreciated
I mean #1 on ladder is using Ttar + Lycanroc.
So that’s a skill issue on my part I guess.
me beating them twice
fair enough

I played him once and lost to double bright powder miss 😔
No sand up either.
But oh well.
I’ve won off double Draco miss before so I can’t complain.
Everything will balance out.
Wait lemme find the replay.
Double para to win.
thats an iron leaves
Watch a replay of a Pokémon battle between ConnerTEP and jbleacher2! Format: [Gen 9] VGC 2024 Reg H; Date: Aug 17, 2024
Whole game was cooked in my opinion.
I should have positionate better tho
Scarf jumpscare turn 1.
Didn't save the replay sadly
@rustic mountain I just played a scarf magmar lava plume into town fire typhlo gimmick team 😭
lmao
LOL
Oh also that Oricorio was covert cloak, bro thrives in CTS.
Pretty cool team though all things considered.
oricorio feels weird
I mean.
Being an electric type in this meta is gold.
But yeah, it’s definitely a weirdo mon.
y? like yea electric is weak rn but why does being an electric type provide so much benefit by itself
Pelipper and rain teams.
whats bro doing to arch
As well as resisting make it rain and hitting Murkrow.
electric types tbh dont feel needed rn
Nothing.
yea like thats kinda my point haha, if u can slot it and it makes sense sure but they dont seem inherently strong into the meta rn
Electric types are good into some meta threats but only as good as the pokemon that support them.
its nice for peli and krow but i dont think its such a major deal to have one rn
Also y’all messing with the hex Skeledirge?
as of now prolly not. im kinda palance brained atm. been enjoying playing it
im not really interested in skeledirge
seems interesting tho
i think it depends on the team. i dont know if dirge really provides the same hex value that like flutter does but w/ grimm twaves to provide that speed control value in most cases it can be decent enough id say
entei feels kinda nice
enteis cool
Entei is cool.
stop copying me
lmfao

Enteiiiii
I almost used him on my Groudon team but Urshifu slapped me around.
you are not playing that as your calyrex tera wtf
lmao
I like his puppy dog ears.
Honestly skeledirge sounds hella fun
tera GRASS CSR
So many things in the meta are good into it tho
Gotta love a fat unaware mon with a damaging set up move.
What’s the set
Good thing I’m using both on my team.
didnt realize it was month 1 of reg g
