i would not say decent haha. it was there
It had higher usage than Zac
Lets see if its better in double restricted
Not my goats fault.
Probably is tbh, I bet they missed some precipice blades
What happened to the Zacian player in worlds?
He lost to uh, I forg it who
I do wonder how much that mattered.
I didn't ask the luck aspect.
He got to top 32 tho
Why you shouldn’t disrespect Miridon:

Grant was and has been on Zac whims drago for most of the reg
While I don’t really like that team myself I think it’s still pretty good
Yeah ik, that’s why I’m saying that
you shouldn’t disrespect it
I wonder how Reg H will go when it comes out on cart.
YIPPEE MAUSAPE ARCHAPELI AND DOZO/PSYSPSM SPAM
for me the amount of conversion matters too tho. 2 day 2s for lunala, 3 for groudon and 2 for zacian, like thats not great. it really reflected their place in the meta w. grant proving yea maybe u can take zacian a bit further if u know ur team to that level but in general, those guys are just there for me haha
😔
Fair enough
still doesnt take away anything from those players, day 2 is an accomplishment in and of itself
Grant almost got Zac to top 16, if only he did lol
Victory road has already the teams of worlds?
It proves it can work at least
yea
oh no argument there from me
i didnt think zacian was ever bad, jus u have to work that much harder for ur wins as the restricted
i think grants comfortability w/ the archetype far outweighed zacians actual ability as a restricted. like he took a solid mon and jus built a good enough team around it that it gave him the tools to succeed. not easy to do either
Takes a lot of time yea
I haven’t ever achieved that this reg unfortunately, I did last reg with Prima and proved it but still
nd these r just my takes like im not saying thats definitively the case. grant himself might disagree
My NAIC team was pretty clunky and unfinished
me scrolling then seeing glastrier: 
Hey you aren't allowed 2 restricteds!
Indeed
5-4 with it (for me) was really good
Honestly if I had entei lol
u went positive, thats great, especially for a first event
nd now u know more then u did b4
And was in the middle of losing to CIR
Ice
Chilling Neigh
100/145/130/65/110/30
580
yea, like volc doesn’t work on torn shifu pao rain teams like
Same speed as Amoonguss huh
That’s mf has 145 attack dayum
Psychic/Ice
As One (Glastrier)
100/165/150/85/130/50
680
Calyrex
bruh lmao
Insane bulk still
restricteds have a different bst total
Wait a minute
Fairy/Steel
Intrepid Sword
92/150/115/80/115/148
700
Zacian
Less wasted stats too.
Ok so how bad would 170 attack be let’s be honest 
How your restricted gonna have a higher BST and be worse than Calyrex. Unbelievable.
yea restricteds i think are like 650+ bst
Psychic
Unaware
43/29/31/29/31/37
200
Seems close.
Psychic
Pressure, Unnerve (Hidden)
106/110/90/154/90/130
680
Mewtwo-Mega-X, Mewtwo-Mega-Y
200 means 200 million
So true.
Amoonguss being better than groudon 
He isn't?
I mean also tbf
Zacian feels better in a format you can’t Tera away your weaknesses
amoongus is that rare example of great typing, good stat distribution, amazing kit and fantastic ability. ud never know it was like 400 something bst
Getting to just bblade CIR would be SO nice
That is literally what I've been saying about Groudon.
zacian in gen 8 moment
Mhmm
I like Tera
But I also like hitting things without worrying about you changing to a fire type
I hate tera if I'm being honest.
i like tera but ill always be an advocate of no gimmicks. jus keep those to the story mode
Didn't they do that in SwSh for a format and it sucked?
X2
series 10 was one of if not my favorite format ever
it was single restricted so i think ppl didnt love that aspect
I heard a lot of people hated it.
did they? i think ur confusing that w/ series 6
Maybe.
which was a shit show
I didn't play SwSh comp.
that was when they did top 10 banned
Dinamax was really broken?
Idt people liked Dynamax
i mean im sure ppl didnt love series 10 but overall id say it had a good reception from the playerbase
Its more like
Tera>Dynamax>Megas>Z-Moves
mixed
My list is the exact opposite.
Just like z moves
i mean people hate stuff that is not Mega Evolution
Megas are so centralizing tho
exactly
Z moves were dope in my opinion.
i am one of the few people that don't enjoy Megas
Was Ultra burst every legal??
I never understood the argument of "dinamax is usable in every mon" when some pokemon didn't really benefit from it
Keeping gimmicks within the story only would be nice
dmax is inherently pretty silly wen u break it down. i think if they kept it to certain mons like gmax and shit and didnt let restricteds and legends dmax it couldve been prolly more interesting but in general it was ok. i do think it was overhated
i saw cosmog wut
I think Xerneas was bad in all formats except series 10 cause it couldn't use dinamax and couldn't set up comfortably
yep
it really is overhated
Zacian was also a pain in its ass
Strongest restricted.
there were a few bo1 ladder teams w/ xern that did well but overall that mon was nowhere in swsh
Mon is quite literally no where in SV.
Restricted that could take the hits post Geomancy AND could wipe it from existence was kinda not good for it lol
well thats for a different reason haha. this gens gimmick would make xern way too oppressive
honestly like if you ask someone who does not play Comp,they would 99% say Megas are the best Gimmick without knowing how centralising it is
Wasn’t cress also kinda bad?
Dengo be like 
yea megas are loved from a casual standpoint
cause comp wise u had like 4-5 good ones and the rest were ass
Competitive standpoint tho 
They also gave megas to mons that were already good
yep
especially Anime Fans....
Instead of keeping it for mons that sucked
Mega Heracross my goat.
10 in the best case and those 5 more were just niche
So salamece groudon and kyogre were just nuts
and Mega Gengar
Eh
Gengar the whole perish trap.
yea i didnt play that gen jus going off wat ive seen from vids and shit
I was naming mons that were already strong
fair
I kinda hope megas don’t come back
gengar is a meh mon tho, i dont have a problem it getting one
Sounds like, not a ton of fun for a player that likes off meta lol
in spinoffs yeah it can still exist but Comp standpoint,Casual fans will cry
im playing ultra moon
Awesome game
F.E.A.R. the guy.
Except the cutscenes
a9s tough rn id suggest maybe trying something else
gonna piss on his grave
You see
I don’t wanna play anything else lol
Casual fans will cry when they see Mega Salamence is the best Mega and not Mega Zard X lmao
(They probably said Mega Ray which is true but still)
Also a9’s always gonna be in a rough spot
I think I'm actually playing a meta team for once.
It’s a snow setter, and snow isn’t ever really anything great
I made my starter fomantis BUT I accidentally put it over popplios spot so my rival has a litten...
why tho? theres so many things out there now
wait didn't i already play meta-
Snow is the neutral weather.
Nothings peaked my interest that’s why
It's the weather you bring when you aren't using weather.
Chilly reception on Glowking for singles proves that.
https://pokepast.es/38fb81c3209ed334 here so, this is what I’m using rn
reminds me of some series 1 teams other then rilla
yeah its fine
Focus Energy Hydreigon almost wiped my ass
I like this team cuz me like Tauros and hydrei and dengo
cloak Volcarona is interesting
So I have no issues with it
I wanna use a9 due to it being my second favorite pokemon
yea dreigon can be scary, i parting shotted one and it crit me next turn to ko im like well fuck ig that happened
Lmao
Looking at that team I can say my team struggles with it.
i almost got wiped by it lmao
thank god i have a whimsicott
yea ive weirdly faced a lot of cloak dreigon
lol
but Cloak Volcarona is-
I like scope lens a lot
well interesting to say the least
Hear me out, no snarl ruining my life
And no fake out
ive played vs cloak volc
its a pain in the neck
i fucking forgot about Snarl because Reg G nobody uses it because most special restricteds just don't fucking care sometimes
most of the ones i play now are snarl
My tera steel Dozo lived an overheat by like 2% HP.
i might try Cloak Volca with Scope Lens Tera Fire Hydreigon
It did like 60% through light screen.
Steel imo
but yea dreigon seems pretty flexible on its item atm
“Walling” the ursas is nice
lillies theme is so nice
kek
Lillie was a cool character
I want to try this team https://pokepast.es/3911d838535c127c
Its kinda similar to drago's team
Looks legit.
I like that she overcomes her shyness, be it a bit sudden lol
I didn't built it tho its from Alex Gómez
And my team doesn’t
not really
I didn't say it wasn't.
3 of the same mons sure
Looks solid
Also I said it looks like it cooks my team.
That is not close to what I’m using lmao
Fair enough
but different way u play each team
I struggle with Hydreigon.
idk why i swear you had a baxca
I have to close at work now. I got my team up to top 500 so I’d say it’s strong
Nice!
dark/dragon is suprisingly good typing atm cuz fairy damage is not crazy common. its not a tera hog in the same way it was in the past
Yep
Drago what is your Hydreigon EVs
@craggy dagger say hi to bubbs and pickle
I’m not telling you shit lol
Oh my main isn't T100 anymore. This sucks.
bruh lmao
whereeeeeeeee
gimme a minute this game has 90 cutscenes
Time to ladder 😔
for anyone that cares, h zoroark sucks i took it off the team
tauros and h zoro were replaced by arch peli. ive joined the dark side
pfft
look at my goobers. @craggy dagger
Me fricking screens.
awwwwwwwweeeeee
u played the 1 brick break gambit on ladder, grats
tera blast?
weird, i guess they opted outta steel stab
And they doubles my Tatsu slot.
Yippee!
Well that game was easy.
Watch a replay of a Pokémon battle between js3499929 and ConnerTEP! Format: [Gen 9] VGC 2024 Reg H; Date: Aug 20, 2024
mence is good rn
Special Mence gives me nightmares.
yea run special
Hurricane confusions 😔
no
Not a bad idea but like, not worth.
I'll Run Lorb or Sitrus probably
lol
Torch song !!
There were some rocky helmets in early formats too iirc
im running rocky helmet shroom atm, its good
Actually it can deal with Rillaboom too.
idk for mence its the call tho
Rocky helmet is also great on redirecting mon.
Reg A people ran rocky helmet Indeedee F
And continued for a couple of regs
think ud rather added damage w/ lo or added sustain in sitrus. that depends how u want it to function on ur team
big time, i agree for mence its not great rn
I doubt you would get use out of Rocky helmet mence.
I hated rocky helmet indeedees last reg.
its around still
My Chien Pao just wants to OHKO and keep his sash.
i faced a few
Yeah but now I don't use a physical sasher.
Doesn't OHKO.
My team might have too many Pseudo Legendaries-
I ran into a team of only Pseudos.
If it works it works wcyd
Actually was tough.
i have 3 but i ain't Ray Rizzo lmao
He had 4.
Hydreigon,Salamence and Metagross
Garchomp 😔
Metagrossss
Midchomp
More like this meta is gross.
idk bout havin all those on the same team haha
Everytime I see Garchomp all it does is click SD and die
thats why i realised i have too many Pseudos lmao
Everytime I see Garchomp I miss every single hit.
its ok but kinda inconsistent
Tree did you see the UNO reverse team I made I meme’d it to top 100
no wat was it
It was basically just Ditto and Electabuzz

Like nice Bo1 gimmick bro yoink
🫴
Should i try Gastrodon as my Dozogiri Answer
Order up or eq though
and it had Baton Pass, so I passed +6 Spe to my Basculegion
lmao getting cooked by ur own shit
Prima is a dozo answer.
it learns Clear Smog.
In my experience as the Dozo.
UNO Reverse moment
if you hate Murkrow then the water Types is the answer lol
i guess i can use Gastrodon lmao
Clear smog is a meh Dozo counter in my opinion.
prims naturally good into dozo too cuz u resist crash and are immune to order up
Tera Blast Grass 😎
ah yes
I actually ran that.
Then later switched a mon to Rillaboom because it kind of sucked.
I just use fire croc against dozo
SKELEDIRGE!!!
Tera Blast Grass/Fly are common ways to deal with Haze/Smog users for Dondozo offensively
While Tera Steel and Sub is done to avoid Spore and Clear Smog
lmao funny enough ive faced that w/ my palance team and still won
Lol
it is a good answer tho
Dude I love Skeledirge.
its a cool mon
Gonna have to watch out for tera blast fly because I use rilla too
Alright currently its Volcarona,Hydreigon,Salamence,Amoonguss,Gastrodon and Metagross
Metagross could swap out with someone
Metamid
team seems very mish moshy
Midmence
If you wanna run special mence run rain.
Gastromid
Hurricane sucks normally.
Why not gholdengo instead of metagross
I FORGOT THAT EXISTS
Lmao
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

🐟
best mon in the format and u forget its there?
Sorry that half ur team is mid 
I'm too Reg G Pilled but even the that was not an Excuse cuz there is a Dengo in worlds-
Why does it matter to you?
I’m playing around bro
yea idk dude u remembered metagross
Do you know who else plays around
cuz i used Metagross before in Reg F but my brain ain't working in 5 am
haha well atleast now u know
Man gholdengo is annoying because you never know what tera it is
Usually steel.
This is awesome lmfao
Sometimes dragon or water.
Tera steel just nukes
offensive team = steel, np set up= water or dragon
i could swap out metagross and Gastrodon with Dengo+ Haze
jus look at the team comp and make ur best assumption
Would make the team a lot stronger.
i am not a believer in either of those so my vote is yes
gastro i did lose to once but i played it poorly. nd it was moreso its partners. otherwise its jus kinda there
honestly i'm not a beliver on that as well but still
I keep running into weird Gastro sets.
i just try some shit in teambuilder
Relatable.
but eh 10 more days till reg H i have time
u take away one aspect of dozos kit and yea maybe u clear smog it but idk i jus dont see it giving u more value vs something else that can haze or jus bulldoze thru dozo
and like more value outside of that 1 mu
probably
and metagross. idk that mon is jus awkward
Give him explosion back.
steel/psychic kinda meh
not even many fairy types running around and it doesnt hit prim for se pre tera and sylveon isnt really on many team comps atm
Grimmsnarl I guess.
the only reason why Iron Crown is fine with that typing because it hits so damn hard on Miraidon Teams
Other than that,this Typing sucks against Incin
See torrent
i guess haha but thats not enough to justify it. even grimm whose more common then sylveon isnt that common or enough of an issue that ud need a check like metagross
Drago i know
Plus you really can't say it when you try to run A9 lol (No offense)
yea i think iron crowns functionality (stats and ability) and kit (moves) make it more of a threat then something like metagross
thats the reason i love Riley Factura's Team
Should have let me finish
Hydreigon dengo is perfect typing synergy
Therefore, hydreigon dengo pog
yea its a good combo
I'll pair up with a Haze Mon,Why not Palafin? my water type slot is opened up
i think his ability as a player allows him to maximize crown to its fullest. in general its not like a great mon or anything haha
in the same way idt many players are taking valiant to finals at worlds
people run Psychic Terrain With Crown but i really don't like Psyspam Crown
i mean Japanese Players are just insane but at least its impressive
yea i think part of the innovation is not getting stuck thinking it has to be a psyspam bot
they are extremely good yea but still i wouldnt of had valiant day 2 let alone finals
its definently not designed to be Psyspam lol
E-Terrain with Lorb/Expert Belt Iron Crown can do noice damage
wait is that Valiant Set Early Meta as well?
I’m glad miraidon won
same man
I tried the team out it’s strong, I fucking suck with it lol
i can try help,I'm fine with Miraidon
Tbf idk how it works so that’s totally on me
nah i dont believe so, encore wasnt a thing on it either. it was pretty much reimiagined completely. on a team w/o e terrain and moves that it usually wasnt utlizing
Don't worry i will not throw Iron Crown lol
And main restricteds are Zac and Kyurem
as far as im aware atleast

it’s pretty heavy idt you can
fair point

not as heavy as cosmog tho
I shall play zacian, I’m dedicated. Plus when reg g rolls back around I should be a better player

Otherwise she’d be fucking jacked

tbf I think cosmoem floats so, I doubt it’s actually being carried
ok this jus needs to be a rain team lmao
get volc outta there and add pelipper
I like volc
yep
ewwwwwww
special sala
why not run special harc instead
it floats lol
I learned the hard way volc is fucking trash on rain archetypes
special mence is good haha
if you keep Volca tho what do you think about 252 speed Volca?
TOILET BIRB
It outspeeds Glimmora max speed i think
but specs harc 
i fucking forgot Glimmora existed-
I love throwing

no i am fine with Arcanine being a Special Attack is fine
But Dragon Pulse is not the move i expect
adrenaline orb/razor claw ogerpon teal 
😭
id go sash on peli max/max but other then that seems solid. 1 other thing is incin over dreigon seems good here to give u a better defensive backbone w/ incin shroom and also fake out and intimidate to help ur gholdengo set up. double intimidate on the team can also be cool. can run wisp since u have rain and to nullify those clam physical atkers
ah sorry 
gimmee the teammmmm
ehhh I'll try both out later
i found an awesome cosmog spread
i think b/w dengo/palafin/pelipper/mence u have enough offense
nicee did you EV it for its more offensive capabilities? 
it’s useless but hey
Nebby Moral support
Why are you lefties Palafin
Oh yeah-
usually that means you leave it in the benches for moral support not lead it on the field 😭
Are you lefties palafin? Lmfao
can you catch totem pokemon instead of killing them
um
oh wait i did not see lefties. yea dont run that
Salamence took Sitrus so idk what item
if you collect totem stickers you can catch it
put that on dengo
here’s the uhhhh
team
CLEAR AMULET
WHY I KEEP FORGOT
Mystic Water? Goggles?
palafin is mystic or clam
Clam?
your brain is not braining
goggles is good too
I SHOULD NOT BUILD TEAMS IN 5 AM LMAO
go to sleep torrent
clear amu @mighty stump
oh wait i thought razor claw pon was on the nebby team im dumb sorry 😭
isn’t it just ca
i already did lmao,also got Goggles for Palafin
And i might change into Sash Peli cuz i have that set in Reg F
but yeahhhh
that team is something else
ive just found sash to be really consistent
reg F team gotcha
oh also ur keen eye rn, change that b4 u hit ladder
i mean... i did use itin Reg f lol
lmao Aegis go to bed
thats the third time i forgot to do that
it sounds like aegis woke up at 5 am 😭
reg f isnt reg h tho haha like u could reasonably justify bulky pelipper now
no i was here already in 3 am after i woke up
i jus think sash more offensive peli is the way to go atm
at least you didn’t make the mistake of uhhh
blaze incin overgrow rilla and pressure entei 
totally didn’t happen to me 
i mean there aren't any electric Types in Reg H
somehow i won that game too 
actually i did that but still won lol
WHAT 😭
theres a few around but they are not common at all
best electric type is arch
opposing rilla set terrain and wood hammer nuke button
ahhh
i can argue Kilowatterl but still

CA/ClearAm/Clam depends on my mood
kilowattrel is not better then archaludon lmfao, but im mostly kidding anyway cuz of electro shot being used
Real (it’s probably electabuzz)
Yall sleeping on Rotom (it sucks)
honestly, maybe
yea rotom is so mid
kilowattrel is a nice pick against the plethora of intimidates here
but somehow
i feel like half the incin are gonna disappear after watching it not win worlds
nno i mean like at least it kinda works as a Tailwind Setter but thats it.
Rotom doesn’t suck, it just doesn’t contribute meaningfully enough
rotom just cant really keep up stat wise right?
oh, yea its ok for that
That’s a good point
Rotom’s stats are ok
yep
With HP investment you can get by quite decently
real ones will keep playing it
Moveset wise tho-
for Wash you have to run Hydro Pump-
If only we had an electric fsiry types, that wasn’t legendary
no other water moves
the wrestler cat STAYS on the team cus if i hate facing it so will tehy
Idrc
i wish there is lol
POV; me nuking it with scope lens Draco from hydrei
Plus as far as options go, there aren’t many x4 resists to MIR
Two of them being, well, Rotom
Doesn’t OHKO btw
a friend told me that reg H incin been going protect now a days that true btw? i havent done H in a while to know 😭
yayayayaya
we all know risu is the best electric type
Not really
ive faced 1 protect incin
by friend you mean me 
out of like 200 games
i’ve seen a couple protect incin and rilla
i didnt wanna throw you under the buss if they disagreed 😭
Rilla is fine
yea
Incineroar, bad
but it seems like they’ve been popping up more in reg H than anywhere else
Where though
unless ur perish w/ incin i dont see protect having more value then its otherwise insane kit
Bo1? Bo3? elo range?
I’ve done it before tho 
ehhh
1000-1300 Bo1
Okay, so not really that indicative
it’s still relatively low so idk
Probably weird people
nova with teh weird people teams? shocking
i’m thinking risu uhhhhh
You see some wack ass sets w no forethought cause I’ve been scouting stuff with Ditto and some of these sets are like
???
follow me volt absorb as a counter to archapeli?
Ok that fucking incin was frail as hell then lol
lmao fair
252+ SpA Hydreigon Draco Meteor vs. 236 HP / 124+ SpD Incineroar on a critical hit: 156-184 (78 - 92%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Sitrus Berry recovery
lol
that could actually be decent but for coverage against body press if they click that instead wouldnt static electabuzz be good since it still tanks it quite well?
what are some of the most curious you have found lol
but i was thinking follow me volt absorb tera fairy risu to uhhh
kinda deflect archapeli for a while
Weather ball Kek
dunno how many body presses risu can take but idt it’ll be a lot
me before realizing what risu was 
yah-
remove the peli first since it’s usually slower than archa
are you trying to kill peli with risu?
no?
ok Wide Guard Peli is still great in Reg H
its partner though :0
okay thats what i was thinking but i looked and saw it learned thunder so wasnt sure you were about to do something crazy 😭

sorry im +6 evasiveness gl

god i hate smeargle muk evasiveness so god damn much
same
i faced one today and genuinely forfeited immediately
nooooo
im too tired of them man im not wasting my time
i fucked around w/ 1 guy for 20 turns the other day then clicked haze w/ palafin and won
oh cool
252 Def Archaludon Body Press vs. 252 HP / 156+ Def Pachirisu: 45-54 (26.9 - 32.3%) -- guaranteed 4HKO
252+ Def Archaludon Body Press vs. 252 HP / 156+ Def Pachirisu: 51-60 (30.5 - 35.9%) -- 41% chance to 3HKO
they always have one differnet move than the last one so i just get so tired being surprised
Muk and Smeragle is kinda like
Skill check+Annoying
oh damn okay
whats it like at like +1 or something?
i think checks for dozo automatically make smeargle muk really shit. thats y u see barely any now
LMAO???
0- SpA Pachirisu Thunderbolt vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Pelipper: 132-160 (97.7 - 118.5%) -- 93.8% chance to OHKO
ik there’s no bulk but still
ngl u should be able to overpower that shit. jus play all my friends are dead and win
guys I got a 0 speed Iv shiny araquanid im living life
ehh that still does enough plus para is good
4 Atk Pachirisu Nuzzle vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Pelipper: 28-36 (16.7 - 21.5%) -- possible 5HKO
muk cant 1v4 and u jus hit ur moves eventually and kill it or go to timer and win off that
gotcha
it sucks but dont forfeit, dont give them the satisfaction haha
yeah just
if i do target their friend it comes down to black sluge +evasion and draining punch
just so much gambling and the moody can make it beefy
plus when they just bloody protect spam to let moody keep boosint 😭
uffff
252+ SpA Pelipper Weather Ball (100 BP Water) vs. 252 HP / 60 SpD Pachirisu in Rain: 118-139 (70.6 - 83.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
pain
In Reg F-G just throw Flutter with Taunt lol
if its +def then they kill you on a double in
yeah i prob should get a taunter fair
a follow up from flash cannon probably kills too
think of it like this. if it was that strong itd have won worlds or atleast been in there somewhere. its extremely beatable. muk has to get to +6 evasion for it to work. if u ko its partners or most of em before it even gets there its not gna do enough trust me. its also an extremely linear playstyle u literally can map out each turn how ur gna deal w/ each partner and advance to the end game stage
why don’t i run uhhhh
tera grass sitrus on that though
or depending on the team u can jus ko muk t1
i could make a whole Video about Why Muk and Smeragle strat don't work but Moxie already did that
same thing probably happens
check
252+ SpA Archaludon Flash Cannon vs. 252 HP / 60 SpD Pachirisu: 37-44 (22.1 - 26.3%) -- 8.9% chance to 4HKO

yeah fair,its just Tera Grass Taunt Flutter Check the Duo lmao
smeargle muk is either a free win or you lose and its like, bruh
252+ SpA Archaludon Flash Cannon vs. 252 HP / 60 SpD Tera Grass Pachirisu: 75-88 (44.9 - 52.6%) -- 21.9% chance to 2HKO

uhh hey drago?
i live on like
a sliver of health
its not someting you need to cnosider
yea i get it
living is the goal lol
if i see someone run this in like in person tournament i would just hunt them down (jk even tho i am going to EUIC next Year)
then i’ll run grass punch or grass sitrus
ray's legendary video is very interesting
rather than fairy goggles
punch?
pinch berry
ray still makes vids?
i watched that,i kinda like his content over Wolfey (Wolfey's Still good tho)
yah
it was like half a year at 1 point he had put nothing out haha
lmaoo
ill check it out
theyre like, monthly videos
-me with like 20 channels i love that never fucking upload so i just have to pray the algorithm will be nice to their content so i see it
lmao
i might make VGC Content once i am confident on myself about VGC shit
cuz i ain't that good yet
ray didn't compete this year right?
he did
thats lame
@chrome knot why didnt you tell me you had donuts soaked in alcohol in canada
excuse me
W H A T
yoo diabetes alcholic tiramisu thats awesome
ray's top 3 legends made sense to me
why cuz zacian was there?
LOL no

it wasn't considered, any gen 8+ mon wasn't considered due to not enough results
i had the same thought i was waiting to see some bias
yea thats fair
although i think shifu is like, 3rd best lol
i think its done enough yea
is this like 3 best in history of vgc or best in terms of like a vacuum?
anyway his top 3 we're ||groudon kyogre and lando||
gen 3 rep lets gooooo
yea lol
kyogre strong i think that made perfect sense as #1
i mean its expected
groudon also made sense
bro spoilers then says it again
its been dominant for so long
i think caly would have been up there if not for the lack of results
youre keeping real consistent here man 😭
caly is probably the best restricted, that we have
well its tough cuz for the criteria it needs to actually prove it can have sustained dominance
Kyogre has been in here as the Meta Restricted up till this point
Groudon got washed by Kyogre still remain even when Koraidon is a thing
Chi Yu would have a Field Day against Then
incin
pao
houndoom
like u cant say it would be cause wed need to be in like gen 14 to be like oh is this mon still good. or will we likely have a new crop of broken restricteds that outshine it? ogre being good 6 gens later is actually p crazy. no other restricted can really say that, other then groudon
it is a tera hog purely cause everyone has multiple mons for its base typing
you're right yea
and also cause the typings defensive wise are sorta scary 😭
shouldnt have said purely prob lol
who knows caly could get power crept, and then that thing will be the thing i hate
yea
if we follow Gamefreak's Traditions,it might-
i think we for sure do
the day urshifu gets power crept
in a sense we already see it this gen w/ miraidon. that guy is a instant nuke
will be one hell of a day indeed
after gen 5 and at the start of Gen 6,Almost all restricteds are great to busted
i think for these gen mons talking about the future of them it comes down to how good can their ability hold up right?
No you Solgaleo
and it won this years worlds
Zygarde
cus like urshi can stay strong for a while but the calys abilities if they get power crept their abilities are kinda bad
cant wait for caly mirai to win next year hahaha
😭
if its double restricted
We just have to wait for LZA to get Zygarde meta
And home compatibility with gen 10 ig
Zygarde forms fr
if they let that trio be legal imma cry
idk
yea thats what i mean. idt i could say that if csr won haha. ofc players make the difference too but i think there were enough results to show miraidon and cir were generally just better/more consistent then csr
i mean without Tera Xerneas is kinda mid

and even then
what?
Dynamax ain't helping it
i am not saying Gen 6-7 Xerneas
that is a hot ass take lmao
genuinely with its speed i was thinking csr was better than cir cus the presurre it can put down on the field so it was a shock and interesting to see how that got flipped and cir was better
Doesn't Xerneas ran like just full fairy stab cause the stabs did more damage than the coverage lol
dmax yea it sucked cuz no geomancy but itd b insanely good in a non tera format
Xerneas is so interesting lol
it be good in a tera format tho no?
i love xerneas my first games were XY :)
zygarde would be something in a tera format thats for sure
tera format is a given itd be broken, hence why i dont think its allowed
if it is in SV then it would run Tera Fire Tera Blast
JUST MAYBE
yippee tera fire/ground xerneas
Nah just fairy
B r o n z o n g
we have WHAT
not Tera Ground cuz Bronzong has Levitate
ok and?
doesn't stop it from using it anyway
yes fire would probably be used more
wouldnt matter if its dead
I rather get hit by Horsepower than Glacial Lance
Fairy
Fairy Aura
126/131/95/131/98/99
680
thats raging bolt bulk 
yep.
a restricted w/ an omni boost move that can subvert its weaknesses and jus destroy u? yea no way that wouldnt be extremely centralizing and oppressive
wait its omniboost
it does not raise defense tho lol
Body Slam, Close Combat, Cut, Endeavor, Facade, Frustration, Giga Impact, Horn Leech, Megahorn, Night Slash, Outrage, Play Rough, Return, Rock Slide, Secret Power, Smart Strike, Tackle, Take Down, Zen Headbutt

A move displayed with Bold text benefits from Same-Type Attack Bonus when used by Xerneas.
Ah
speed, sp atk and sp def
so xern can just invest to be really defensively bulky
I thought it was like Dozo and 💀
because it gets 2 quiver dances in 1 move
I thought it was just speed, spdef and special attack
it is
yeah I typed my question too late to make sense
Dondozo would wall xerneas
POV tera ground tera blast
usually restricteds can have options for boosts (np and cm for csr, sd for zacian etc) but to have a move that does 3 stats and all by 2 stages? and needing to have an answer for pre and post tera w/o losing too many resources. like idk i think that thing would just break tera
if it just one stage boost that could still be manageable
but like 2????
WHY 2?????
That would actually be its most popular tera
but its easier to slow down that then a double "omniboost"
just Follow me with Ogerpon and Xerneas gets a free Boost
im glad they left it out
Probably the only thing that one shots you pre geomancy is Miraidon
And probably post geomancy too lol
hearthflame xern may have been terrible
still dies to moonblast but still
for the game
if it was 1 it would just be worse quiver dance
it also meant the tapus and UB's got left out
which was lame, but i get why
wdym
Tapus
then what you want your Araquanid to get blasted by Moonblast?
let the ruins/paradox shine this gen
oh yea
then introduce them later with both maybe
Soaked donuts
but that was for different reasons
it was?
ubs/ tapus wouldnt break the game w/ tera
im like "coaching" catt (im laughing at her) and shes running into the weirdest teams cart ladder is so joever
Ubs maybe
different reasoning then leaving xern out
joever
what tapu gets broken with tera?
Tapus nah
i don't see Tapu Koko Break Tera honestly
oh, oh lol nvm
tapu LELE
im dumb
i did wanna say Lele but i am hesitant

252+ SpA Choice Specs Tera Psychic Tapu Lele Helping Hand Expanding Force (120 BP) vs. 252 HP / 164 SpD Assault Vest Archaludon in Psychic Terrain: 166-196 (84.2 - 99.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
dayum
So basically unless youre a fat resist you explode
cant both hatt and arma do that tho
w/ overall better bulk
Neither self sets Psychic Terrain
And are not as fast
fair enough
would koko be good? im guessing fini would be good but wbu koko?
prolly yea
TERA FIGHTING SCARF BUZZWOLE YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

+2 252 SpA Fairy Aura Xerneas Moonblast vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Araquanid: 169-201 (96.5 - 114.8%) -- 81.3% chance to OHKO It dosent always die we take those 💪
it was at worlds 2022?
yea
thats awesome
Ogerpon beside Xerneas be like:Imma do le clean up
😨
oh wait
I did killed an Araquanid with Ogerpon

thats actually awful
ok but araquanid looks cool
