Local cheese here is delicious

[mighty stump]

Probably works out to equivalent once you factor in the deli meats and cheese and I can't skimp on bread

I never skimp on food

It's going into your body, so it has to be quality

[knotty mirage]

It is kinda expensive my family only eat it at occasion

[torn parrot]

That’s a great mindset

I like that

[mighty stump]

Whatever can affect your health shouldn't be cheap

Shoes, a bed, food are common examples

[polar canyon]

I never think about bed prices

Maybe I will whenever I move out

Do you guys know anything about programming?

I'm taking this one class in college that's super cool

[mighty stump]

I don't have time to do that lol

[polar canyon]

Gonna be my full time job someday

[mighty stump]

every day i'm reading medical related research

[polar canyon]

It's programming lab class and mr professor who's also uni director says videogames are something only good coders are able to make

And so we're having game design

[chrome knot]

everyday im reading pokemon showdown calcs am i cooked

[mighty stump]

Its either medical papers or showdown calcs

[torn parrot]

I’ll cook you

[mighty stump]

I'm cooked

[polar canyon]

As a kid I dreamed of being a game designer having no idea how it actually works

Never thought I'd actually be here taking a game design class for college

Not strictly game design but a lot of the weekly projects will be games

[summer shore]

Hello guys

[mighty stump]

Wow Shiro you're alive

[polar canyon]

Hi shiro

[summer shore]

💺 take a seat

[chrome knot]

[polar canyon]

The first game project is gonna be coding pong

[summer shore]

That i am

[polar canyon]

Yeah we're beginners

We're actually doing it with no game engines just python coding and frameworks

Raw dogging games

[torn parrot]

I’ll make you into Taco Bell

[chrome knot]

WHY

[polar canyon]

How's the medical stuff been?

[chrome knot]

im scared pls help me @modern harbor

[polar canyon]

Still doing vet stuff right?

[mighty stump]

Rough

[polar canyon]

Sounds like it

[mighty stump]

I mean yeah, being a new GP vet is kinda rough since the learning curve is steep

[modern harbor]

yessss ?

[chrome knot]

one person wants to euthanize me the other wants to turn me into taco bell meal and im scared of what happens if they work together

[mighty stump]

And things don't always go according to theory

[bold geode]

@summer shore

[polar canyon]

Theory is always hard to me

Hi monke

[chrome knot]

also why are u awake at 4am love

[modern harbor]

IDK

[polar canyon]

I struggle with most theory based subjects

[chrome knot]

GO TO BEDDD !!! sleep good for you

[modern harbor]

IM JUST AWAKE DORM BEDS R TINY THEY DONT FIT BOTH OF US

[chrome knot]

[summer shore]

[spiral ridge]

Wombo combo

[mighty stump]

Do tell

[chrome knot]

theyre gonna eat me scotty

[mighty stump]

Speaking of shiro, I can actually buy designer clothing if I wanted to now

[summer shore]

Is it a quick story time

[polar canyon]

I've been in a confusing love situation for months now

[mighty stump]

It is

[summer shore]

Thats so hype

I'm probably gonna buy a decent bomber jacket within the next 24h

[mighty stump]

Sometimes I'll come down to where you are and we should hang or some shit

[spiral ridge]

I can tell

[polar canyon]

You couldn't buy designer clothing before?

[mighty stump]

Cause that's a realistic proposition now

[mighty stump]

Nope, no income

I was jobless and doing mostly pro-bono work for a year

This would be my first real job

[spiral ridge]

Just start running like it’s little nightmares Emma

[summer shore]

It'll probably be easier in brisbane

[polar canyon]

Congrats

[summer shore]

Rather than Sydney

[mighty stump]

That sounds preferrable

If I did go to Aus I'd have to go to Adelaide though

[summer shore]

Adelaide is kinda

[mighty stump]

My aunt lives there

[summer shore]

😪

Ah fair enough

[mighty stump]

my cart rn

[chrome knot]

[mighty stump]

Finally growing out my street monk aesthetic

[summer shore]

I've been spamming these etro jeans i got recently

[mighty stump]

my head vet told me "You're such a young man why would you dress so old, you look like you fit in the shaolin district"

[spiral ridge]

[spiral ridge]

I’ve been tryna get that for closing in on a year and like 250+ runs 😭

[chrome knot]

i so sorryyyy it took me 22….

[polar canyon]

Looks like a tablecloth a grandma would have

[spiral ridge]

Die

[chrome knot]

hehehe

[chrome knot]

10/10 on ugly scale

[bold geode]

Honestly I kinda fuck with it

[polar canyon]

It's probably not impossible to style it well

But that promo picture model isn't doing it any favors

[chrome knot]

if i saw someone wearin that im walkin the other way

[bold geode]

If I saw you I'd walk the other way
Avoid the smell

[polar canyon]

Wait that's an entire jacket I thought it was a vest with a black shirt inside

Yeah you can't make that look good

Cosplaying a granny tablecloth

[bold geode]

There's other colors too

Black looks a bit better

[chrome knot]

this looks even worse

[polar canyon]

It looks better but doesn't mean it looks good

[bold geode]

I mean it's $30 and from Snoop Dogg tf you expect

[mighty stump]

If anyone wants to know where I'm looking at its from a site called Prospective Flow

Another place I like to look at for clothes would be Anglan shop

[summer shore]

Im back

Had to go make an ssense transaction

And measure some clothes

[mighty stump]

I'm looking at lush for perfumes

[summer shore]

Lush is slept on

[mighty stump]

frfr

[summer shore]

Anyways story time

[mighty stump]

Ok go on

[summer shore]

So tofu i went to the ive concert in sydney in july rigjt

[molten oasis]

Y’all should open up the vc

[summer shore]

A girl who was there alone as well started a convo w me

[molten oasis]

[mighty stump]

Okay go on

[dull ibex]

join bitch

[molten oasis]

Ok

[dull ibex]

we're waiting 🤨

[summer shore]

And so we spent the majority of the downtime of the concert talking

And turns out her family is up here

The backstory is too long to elaborate on so take it as it is

So she came up last week and i suppose i asked her out

And it happened

But idk what i would call it

[chrome knot]

what

[mighty stump]

Well

If you asked her out

As a date

Then you're essentially seeing each other before making it official no

Lol

[summer shore]

It wasnt phrased as a date tho

Yk what i mean

[mighty stump]

Well at least its a good sign

You can have that conversation later

Just focus on having a good time eh

[summer shore]

She flew back down now tho

Considering asking if she wants to meet up again this coming friday

Anyhow that was the quick storytime

I gotta sleep

[mighty stump]

Sleep well

[chrome knot]

tofu

what if i stole ur liver

[mighty stump]

I mean good luck ig

[chrome knot]

wdym good luck

[solid frigate]

you need the Liver to get rid of the Toxins(If i can recall on my Biology Lessons)

[pallid hare]

It also makes bile (sends it to the gall bladder for concentration/storage) and is involved in glucose storage

Liver does a lot of nifty things

[chrome knot]

yall missing that he said gl to me stealing it

not what it does

[solid frigate]

I mean you aren’t in the same country and even then L A W

[torn parrot]

Wait a minute

Swamp lowers the enemy speed by 75%?

That’s scary

[chrome knot]

only time ive seen swamp

was when hatt & torkoal were on the field in tr

[solid frigate]

me love this

nostalgia hits hard

[solid frigate]

@dull ibex lemme in

[dull ibex]

go ahead

[kindred cypress]

https://pokepast.es/304fced31b81f0f6 This is actually working really well, any opinions?

[solid frigate]

Concept is fine ig

[dull ibex]

@molten oasis i said i was getting food get better ears

[molten oasis]

ah ok

[torn parrot]

In my two games that I tried playing tsareena and of the three attacks that she used

She missed all of them

So I will never be using her again out of spite

Because im angry at her

[chrome knot]

hai maya

yes tsareena is professional power whip misser

[torn parrot]

I gave her a wide lens

And this still happened

[chrome knot]

mhmm

ask jesse romolo how that goes, he was big tsareena believer and it kept missing lmfao

[dull ibex]

@bold geode gonma be a second

My cat wants to play

[bold geode]

Ok

M A R I A

[chrome knot]

M A Y A

[timber falcon]

thoughts on mudscale?

AV beat up maybe?

or maybe its not worth it

[torn parrot]

Its very fat

[misty helm]

So I ave a good question

Is 252 special attack and special defense

archaludon with
assault vest
thunderbolt
aura sphere
flash cannon and
dragon pulse
a good set

[torn parrot]

Okay you know i know it’s the opposite of what he usually does but it has inner focus that’s kinda cool

[torn parrot]

Body press is pretty good on archaludon

[misty helm]

You recommend that over aura sphere even though no physical defense investment

[torn parrot]

Well there’s no special investment either

Oh there is

Still yes

It’s optional tho probably

But the body presses can scale out of control

[misty helm]

Yeah I’m gonna roll with aura sphere as I already crafted the tms for it

[torn parrot]

One of the reasons I fear archaludon is you can’t just snarl him

because of body press

[misty helm]

80 base power off a 125 special attack is decent enough for me

[torn parrot]

Arighty

[misty helm]

And I don’t ever run into Pokémon with snarl

[torn parrot]

Okay sir

[misty helm]

I’m a singles player

[timber falcon]

whats a mon people can use to apply pressure and pick up KOs?

[dull ibex]

this place is primarily doubles as a warning

[torn parrot]

Oh

[misty helm]

You say assault vest is a good item choice

[torn parrot]

Yes

Definitely his best most scary item in both singles and doubles

Tho leftovers is also a thing singles Iv seen

If you run leftovers then run body press

[misty helm]

Do you think it’s weird that my lycanroc dusk has a gimmicky set

[torn parrot]

What’s the set

[misty helm]

Focus sash
reversal
swords dance
Accelerock
Sucker punch

[torn parrot]

I’m not singles player anymore I couldn’t tell ya

[dull ibex]

what are the best answers to arch?

[chrome knot]

punch it

[misty helm]

The idea is that lycanroc takes a hit while setting up swords dance and gets a 200 base power tough claws boosted nuke in reversal

[dapper crag]

Move: Reversal

The power of this move is 20 if X is 33 to 48, 40 if X is 17 to 32, 80 if X is 10 to 16, 100 if X is 5 to 9, 150 if X is 2 to 4, and 200 if X is 0 or 1, where X is equal to (user's current HP * 48 / user's maximum HP), rounded down.

SableyeBot version 4.28.0

[ornate forge]

seems like a pretty neat strategy

for singles

[torn parrot]

Start a loving relationship with it

[dull ibex]

very useful advice to a serious question

[chrome knot]

punch it

[torn parrot]

I dunno fam

I guess you just gotta turn the weather off

[pallid hare]

you turn off the opponents switch

[ornate forge]

i just disconnect if it gets too annoying

[dull ibex]

rage dcing is not an option

[misty helm]

I would say special attacking ground types like gastrodon

[dull ibex]

gastrodon 💀

I really don't want the answer to be bloodmoon 😔

[pallid hare]

it is bloodmoon

[torn parrot]

But then pelishit is always near

[misty helm]

Okay what about so special lucario

[dull ibex]

av ttar 🤔

[ornate forge]

focus blast lucario

[torn parrot]

I don’t think a counter to archaludon peliper exists hhgnnnnn

You can only finesse him

and turn off his weather

[misty helm]

I would say a strong special attacking ground type like bm ursaluna

[torn parrot]

but then peliper is always near

it’s sad

[misty helm]

Pair it with a raging bolt

[ornate forge]

its just impossible

[torn parrot]

He’s gone hghnnn

[ornate forge]

not in regulation h

[torn parrot]

[misty helm]

Wait they took away paradoxes

[ornate forge]

i forgot about it too i was gonna use zapdos and then was like wait a minute

[torn parrot]

Yeah legendaries and paradoxes

I know people have gotten so sick of the bullshit that they started running altaria

Altaria is actually pretty cool

[misty helm]

Okay how about ampheros

It has pretty good bulk and special attack

It could take care of peliper

[ornate forge]

rotom wash can handle pelliper

[torn parrot]

electric types can bully peliper

[ornate forge]

but i tried it and it still

[torn parrot]

I don’t like the rotoms

personally

stupid only miss moves

[ornate forge]

yeah

[misty helm]

I still stand by ampharos

[ornate forge]

but i mean it always has focus sash anyway pelliper

or at least it usually does

[torn parrot]

I mean ampharos cant touch archaludon but it’s an electric type so it can at least bully peliper

[ornate forge]

its just archaludon is impossible to counter

and dynamax as well

i mean terastillization

[torn parrot]

The combo just doesn’t have a counter besides turn off the weather and brute force

And finesse

[ornate forge]

maybe wonder room

magic room which one removes items

[torn parrot]

If you really don’t wanna deal with bullshit

Just run weezing

[chrome knot]

im exploding you with my mind rn maya

[torn parrot]

He’s the anti bullshit guy

[torn parrot]

I’m exploding your mind with my mind

[chrome knot]

why would you do that

[dull ibex]

https://pokepast.es/2b174b09cd8d4d80 do yall like prim here

or do you think basc works better here

[ornate forge]

hold on maybe ill try magic room

magic room klefki

[torn parrot]

Maybe if you put like

Some wetaher move on him

Fuck if I know

He gives me a headache

[molten oasis]

that spread could be optimized

calm mind primarina also sucks

i know from experience

you could also get more bulk on the dengo

knock off over darkest lariat on incin

you probably want clear smog on amoonguss for dozo

i think scarf adaptablility basc looks fine here if you wanna try it out

[dull ibex]

scarf? ok

[molten oasis]

yea

its that or like

clear amulet ig

[solid frigate]

Hilarious moment when i show my dad about my Miraidon team

[molten oasis]

had a thought

what if i went tera fire tauros aqua

for typhlo and whims

which is very real lol

[solid frigate]

i did that for Pelipper lmao

[nocturne holly]

Guys what is ttars line into rain

ttar dengo maus comp fr

Dengo maus is so good into arch rain in my experience e

[solid frigate]

i think thats the only way if you don't want to abuse Sand too much

or just bring something that is good against Rain,which is none

[nocturne holly]

Nah I don’t wanna abuse sand I just wanna use it too buff ttar yk

[solid frigate]

which is fair

[mighty stump]

how you hitting em back

[mighty stump]

you switch into it and turn it off lol

[nocturne holly]

Wbt flash cannon

[chrome knot]

by throwin it back

[molten oasis]

Wave crash into Typhlosion?

[mighty stump]

Sunny Day

[mighty stump]

Go see what Flash Cannon does into Sand AV Ttar LOL

[nocturne holly]

Aight fire

[molten oasis]

252 Atk Tauros-Paldea-Aqua Wave Crash vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Typhlosion in Sun: 110-132 (71.4 - 85.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

I just wanna shut off eruption

I think

252 Atk Tauros-Paldea-Aqua Aqua Jet vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Typhlosion in Sun: 36-44 (23.3 - 28.5%) -- 86.6% chance to 4HKO

Also a roll to kill with a follow up

[mighty stump]

Well if you think it’ll work won’t hurt to try

[molten oasis]

I mean, idk man

[chrome knot]

tofu im scared

[molten oasis]

That feels like a line I could create cuz otherwise I don’t feel like I have one

[mighty stump]

Then like I said, try it lol

If it works it works

If it doesn’t it doesn’t

[mighty stump]

About what

[molten oasis]

Fair enough

I was thinking to lead it with rilla, in which I could just FO whims and then click wave crash

[chrome knot]

louisville regional regs open tomorrow

[molten oasis]

Or with hydrei

[mighty stump]

ok GL

[chrome knot]

bwaaaahhhh

wtffffff

[mighty stump]

In that case you’re still eating a full powr Eruption though

Esp CoCl Whims

Unless ylu wanna try clicking FO into Typhlosion and call te tera

[molten oasis]

It won’t tho, there’s no reason to

https://pokepast.es/b0f1feabb41b989c idk wdyt is the line (if i have fire Tauros)

[torn parrot]

I’m worried about how much recoil you’ll take

But

it’ll shut off eruption the eruption

[spring tartan]

Chat is this a good set?

[molten oasis]

Idk man

[mighty stump]

Sacred Sword. Sucker Punch.

I mean

[mighty stump]

You could run High Horsepower Rilla and Tera Fire and go from there

Cause like

At least if they TW they can’t set Sun

[molten oasis]

I mean, I like u turn

[spring tartan]

Hhm thanks for the input fr

[gentle crag]

rngwixz has given 1 Gen Rep to woodtofu

[molten oasis]

But also the mu feels doomed as hell without something to hit it

And ik it’s a very real thing I fought 4 in a row today

I won cuz I managed to dodge a moonblast from whims the whole game

2 times, the other times I just got fried

I haven’t liked Tera grass on Tauros anyway so I’ll try that first t

[mighty stump]

252 SpA Tera-Fire Typhlosion-Hisui Eruption (150 BP) vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Tauros-Paldea-Aqua in Sun: 120-142 (79.4 - 94%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

[molten oasis]

If not I’ll go high horse rilla

Fuck

[mighty stump]

I’m also not following why you want to Tera Fire since you already resist

[molten oasis]

Guess I have to do high horsepower

[molten oasis]

Keeps the fire resist and resists fsiry

That’s the only reason tbh

Could also, well I could go Tera fire on hydrei too

Or drop volc for harc or smth

Things to try ig

I’d like to fight someone with it tho

Instead of searching for it

[mighty stump]

I mean if you really need to try and kill the damage output a bit ig Aqua Jet to open things up at least is okay lmao

Ig your real line is just Wave Crash

They can’t Protect anyways since they’re Choice’d

[molten oasis]

Are they usually specs?

[mighty stump]

Specs/Scarf

[molten oasis]

I also think rilla hydrei lead then Tera fire rilla FO whims and dark pulse/draco Ty is an option

if they’re cloak or Tera ghost tho I lose

[mighty stump]

172+ Atk Tera-Fire Rillaboom Wood Hammer vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Typhlosion-Hisui in Grassy Terrain: 82-97 (55 - 65.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Grassy Terrain recovery

Just whack it if you don’t wanna go for a KO with HHP

[foggy lodge]

HTyphlosion is getting a lot of usage lately?

[molten oasis]

With whimsi yea

[chrome knot]

who knew that buffed up torkoal was good

in a lower power format

[mighty stump]

I fought a pretty strong variation imo

It had so much anti prio and actually used Regular Typhlosion

[foggy lodge]

Sunny day right?

[mighty stump]

Yes

I literally use clear smog amoonguss to stop that bullshit play

It wouldn’t work on my team

Haze would though

[jade dust]

Sleep smeaegle and then kill everything with caly ice

Oh I’m talking abt reg h man lol

[foggy lodge]

he is not talking about reg G lol

[balmy glen]

Why would I use Alolan Muk in reg g when I can just outplay

[jade dust]

Some caly shadow teams use it

With Flamigo too

But it’s easy to counter by amoonguss and blood moon

[mighty stump]

Venusaur definitely works best as a sun blaster, right?

[chrome knot]

?

[dull ibex]

venusaur is a bit mid rn

[foggy lodge]

Hilligant is better imo

[dull ibex]

if you have to use venu I like it as a sun abuser

[chrome knot]

take a peek at their name

@modern harbor i need like a motivational speech to eat more in a day

[modern harbor]

if u dont eat there will be no fat to go to your hips n tits soooooo obv u gotta eat

[chrome knot]

i cant eat lots in a day my tummy says noooooo no more pleaseeee

i lost to a crunchwrap supreme from taco bell today

[spiral ridge]

That’s still good. Better than me 😭

[chrome knot]

i weigh 130 ;(

i have small tummy

eat too much and she says nooooo pleaseee no more otherwise food coma or vomit ur choice

[spiral ridge]

I’ve had stomach issues as of late

I don’t weigh that little but if I don’t get myself in check I could easily

[mighty stump]

SUN BLASTER

new name for sun abusers dropped

[balmy glen]

tofu day 3 of coping that this format is the worst

[mighty stump]

you should cope with mono-frog

i lost to mono-frog in 1000s and I quit CTS Bo1

[balmy glen]

I’m abt to become the villain of this regulation

This format is so close to bringing me to that point lul

Hopefully Japan cooks something fast or else Baltimore is abt to be hit with 200 turns per set of my Alolan Muk Smeargle team

[mighty stump]

HAHAHAHHA

I mean you and Moxie and go on your villain arcs together

A CAT VOMITED ON ME

[molten oasis]

tofu's having a great day

[foggy lodge]

what

[solid frigate]

lol

[mighty stump]

Part of the job

[solid frigate]

respect on it

Tho why did the cat Vomit? I was gonna plan to adopt a cat so i wanna know

[mighty stump]

Not something you’d worry about in this case. I suspect there could be some form of obstruction within the stomach which is causing this issue

Main important thing about cats is ✨ stress management ✨

[solid frigate]

Probably thats a good thing

[mighty stump]

Make sure they are hydrated well, have safe spaces to be alone, separste feeding and toileting spaces, and toileting spaces to be private

Cats are particularly prone to kidney/bladder problems hence why hydration and stress management are important

Common medical emergencies arising from cats are those that essentially cannot urinate

[chrome knot]

https://tenor.com/view/memes-sand-gif-18678879

[mighty stump]

A blocked bladder creates damaging backpressure onto the kidneys and cause fatal electrolyte imbalances

[solid frigate]

i see

thanks

[mighty stump]

Obviously, also vaccinate your cats

[solid frigate]

yup definitely needed

[mighty stump]

Neuter your cats as well

especially if they’re young

[solid frigate]

mhm

[mighty stump]

Get reputable food brands

You can have a main wet food for meal times and then dry food for snacks readily available for them to graze

[solid frigate]

alright noted

[solid frigate]

Calyrex Shadow:Bro what the fuck is going on

[balmy glen]

Tera normal Zamazenta coming right up

[chrome knot]

[balmy glen]

I was actually using this

If you look at my worlds team it actually fit for a little until I made a readjustment on a different Tera for a mon lol

[chrome knot]

@balmy glen !!!!!

pogo is getting shiny zacian raids, which means likely that shiny zamazenta is next

[balmy glen]

When for shiny Zacian

I have my event shiny Zama already but I wouldn’t mind another

But I also don’t have a shiny Zacian so

[chrome knot]

end of Sept-Start of Oct

[balmy glen]

That’s fire can u remind me around when the time is coming

[chrome knot]

my ass didnt play vg to care for the insanely good events in swsh i missed out so hard

[balmy glen]

Ah Violet is actually my first game on the switch that I bought but my friend passed me their Zama and told me I’d put better use for it

[chrome knot]

ahhh

[balmy glen]

thing is I always talked abt pokemon with me and I got him into it despite me never having the game

[chrome knot]

i played lots of pokemon like 1 time playthroughs bc i liked the games thas it

[balmy glen]

I’ve been watching VGC since I was little so it’s not really a big surprise I picked it up in my first year

[chrome knot]

fair

vgc is the fun of pokemon imo !!

where the game gets stale vgc picks it up like never have i ever been so excited to boot up swsh to go find shit like im playing a scavenger hunt

[polar nest]

is electabuzz better with vital spirit or static?

[chrome knot]

vital spirit

[polar nest]

ok

[knotty mirage]

Damn hopefully i can find someone who will trade me one because i don't play pogo

[balmy glen]

[polar nest]

thx

[gentle crag]

agplays_ has given 1 Gen Rep to dollarmonke

[mighty stump]

It's objectively the worse option

[polar nest]

vital spirit or static?

[mighty stump]

Static.

[polar nest]

[craggy dagger]

clefable

[nocturne holly]

What does cledabke do over clefairy

I’m seeing so many on ladder is it just it has more value even after lock off and unaware

[craggy dagger]

unaware + redirect

• healing + screens + it’s cute

[nocturne holly]

should’ve led with its cute

But clef is cuter 😔

What healing does it get heal pulse??

[craggy dagger]

it’s cute and strong .-.

life dew, heal pulse iirc

but unaware is the first charm

[nocturne holly]

Mhm

[craggy dagger]

oh and also-

• fairy stab

[chrome knot]

noovaaaaa

[nocturne holly]

Is it just redirection value from like dozo

I don’t see clef doing much into dozo

[chrome knot]

tcg locals bullying me bc i built vulpix

[craggy dagger]

lmao there’s a reason why people don’t use snowpix emma
just like how in vgc, there are reasons why people don’t use pikachu

it’s just not good even though it looks strong .-.

[chrome knot]

vulpix turns off their decks and they think im using it just to troll them

no it makes certain mus unwinnable for them

bc if ur deck is all abilities how do you attack

[craggy dagger]

yeah but are they all abilities?

[chrome knot]

yes

[craggy dagger]

istg you’re becoming me but in tcg

now if you don’t mind, i’m gonna disappear

[chrome knot]

charizard + pidgeot have infernal reign + quick search

regidrago & ogerpon have legacy star & teal dance

lots of other notable attackers have abilities with them

[chrome knot]

i just wanna hangout and play card game to not be stressed abt vgc always >~<

not my fault vulpix is cute

[craggy dagger]

not my fault boltbeam miraidon just works

[chrome knot]

EXCEPT IT DONT

my deck has a niche and its called winning 100-0 based on mu

[craggy dagger]

[bold geode]

Hi Scotty 🖕

[spiral ridge]

[knotty mirage]

Kinda happy for zam tho it finally can be as good as swsh zacian or even better

[dull ibex]

Now I want to use zamazenta a

[bold geode]

Cart ladder
Weegeecee

[dull ibex]

I have no idea. How. To build a. Zama team

[chrome knot]

reg g mon!!!

[bold geode]

Usually more balance centric with a little more offensiveness based on the set you run

WG Zama has a bit more offense while IDBP Zamazenta is more like protect the queen type shit ig

[craggy dagger]

ewwwwww

[chrome knot]

WHAT

[craggy dagger]

no like the shiny colors

[molten oasis]

The genies have mid shinies tbf

[spiral ridge]

Heya hun

[polar nest]

can someone help me with my sets n stuff? i keep losing and im not that good at ev training https://pokepast.es/06bd9f067e3232d9

[ornate forge]

most of the sets seems pretty good

[polar nest]

maybe im just bad

[ornate forge]

well it depends of how the team works

i use choice band talonlame on a trick room team

[polar nest]

just a balance team

fwg core

talon as tw setter

[ornate forge]

it can just come in and

DAMAGE

free damage

[polar nest]

with electabuzz and amoongus as support

[ornate forge]

yeah

[polar nest]

idk if i should swap amoongus with sableye or maybe grimmsnarl

running screens sounds interesting

[ornate forge]

use klefki my favorite pokemon

[polar nest]

2 weathers so i can disrupt all weathers

[ornate forge]

i was using light screen reflect flash cannon

[polar nest]

and rain boosts clawitzer

[ornate forge]

and then the last move can be anything

[polar nest]

over what?

[ornate forge]

over amoongus

[polar nest]

ok

[ornate forge]

or electabuzz

you shouldnt need two follow me or rage powder pokemon

[polar nest]

def over amoongus then

ok, what tera?

[ornate forge]

i dont think i ever terastillized mine ever

but ghost or steel

[polar nest]

ok

[ornate forge]

and then the fourth move can be i was recently trying magic room

[polar nest]

steel cuz easier to get

[polar nest]

doesnt really work for my team

[ornate forge]

yeah it shouldnt be that big of a deal

[polar nest]

i chose sunny day

[ornate forge]

yeah thunder wave

sunny day

[polar nest]

just dont dwell on it get some rest love

[grizzled fulcrum]

Guys how's My team

It's dragapult meowscarda froslass ogerpon zamazenta and gardevoir

[chrome knot]

im just so frustrated

when will it be my time

[spiral ridge]

soon honey soon

[inland hare]

What's the defacto best Tail Wind set up mon now? Whimsicott or Talon?

[chrome knot]

its just a hobby of being disappointed

[spiral ridge]

https://tenor.com/view/yumeko-jabami-蛇喰-夢子-kakegurui-anime-gif-17306696

youre getting older soon enough you can just fully take it into your hands

or just be financially stable enough to

[foggy lodge]

I think Whimsicott

I prefer the light screen, encore and sunny day things

But Talon is also pretty good

[solid frigate]

and Prankster makes Status Moves +1

[torn parrot]

Talonflame is scary

Whimsicott is annoying

Murkrow is chilling, he doesn’t do a lot

[rustic mountain]

murkrow has 1 thing going for it at this point nd thats haze, if u dont have that as a crutch jus use a better tw setter

[torn parrot]

It is really nice to have that one peace of mind that ensures that you’ll never get swept by dondozo

All my teams are lazy with dondozo counters

So I hate him

):<

[rustic mountain]

yea thats fine, if it works it works but i think theres def other ways ofc to deal w/ it. especially from the other setters, encore on whims and wisp on talon are good ways to either slow it down or completely take it out if it tries to protect ever

[chrome knot]

@spiral ridge I FIXED IT

GO MEEEE WOOOOOO i deserve a pat on the back

[spiral ridge]

what did you fix?

but good job honey

[solid frigate]

it depends on what the Player wants

If you hate Physical Attackers,go Talonflame
If you wanna be mildly Annoying then Whims

[bold geode]

Mr Tree

[spiral ridge]

yayyy you can still go thats awesome :))

[chrome knot]

i so happpyyyyy

I was actually gonna sob watching registry go by

[spiral ridge]

https://tenor.com/view/yumeko-jabami-蛇喰-夢子-kakegurui-anime-gif-17306696

[shadow wind]

I ain’t gonna lie I love Altaria

Cloud nine is a goated ability right now

[random pecan]

Do you guys prefer meteor beam or calm mind Lunala?

[balmy glen]

Both are good

[rustic mountain]

among other things yea

[balmy glen]

just depends how consistent you want your team

[rustic mountain]

[balmy glen]

I’m a 100% acc player so I’d go for calm mind

[random pecan]

My team is fully supportive for Lunala
Rillaboom
Incineroar
Urshifu Rapid Strike
Pelipper
Grimsnarl

[molten oasis]

I can confirm the high horsepower strategy works

[rustic mountain]

?

[bold geode]

What

Drago tf you smokin now

[rustic mountain]

maybe wrong chat?

otherwise im missing the context

[bold geode]

@molten oasis explain fam

[solid frigate]

huh

[molten oasis]

Tera fire rillaboom with HHP for Ty whimsi

[gentle crag]

drayagedrago has given 1 Gen Rep to treeco.

[rustic mountain]

free rep

[bold geode]

Oh so no U Turn

[solid frigate]

yeah

[bold geode]

Offensive or still AV?

[rustic mountain]

i feel like fake out/glide/hammer are musts

[bold geode]

They definitely are
Unless your freak ass is running CB

[rustic mountain]

haha yea

i was running miracle seed on 1 team but ofc even then i had fake out

[bold geode]

I don't like CB Rilla
Literally doesn't feel good to me unless you're just spamming CB Glides

And I feel like Rilla without Fake Out pressure is just like in Reg D where it didn't have Glide
Just feels naked

[rustic mountain]

yea i liked cb rilla a lot in swsh and a cppl other regs but does not feel good atm

[molten oasis]

Yea

I run av

[rustic mountain]

av is my fav for it

[molten oasis]

I do miss u-turn but I also have no mu for those 2 otherwise

[rustic mountain]

u turns tough to give up but if it makes enough sense for ur team

[molten oasis]

Mhmm

[solid frigate]

i mean either you run No Fake Out Rilla

[rustic mountain]

thats just objectively bad imo

[solid frigate]

yeah exactly

Rilla Suffers the 4 move syndrome

[rustic mountain]

good mons often do

[chrome knot]

@balmy glen u goin to louisville?

[bold geode]

For me it actually feels easy
Offensive run HH
AV run U Turn
Logic has rarely failed me

[rustic mountain]

thats generally fine to go off but i think it depends to. there were av rilla running hh back in reg e or w/e for heatran pre tera

[bold geode]

Yeah
I just feel like AV Rilla kinda loses some value without it at times
It's a little more defensive due to the item of course so there's times when you kinda wanna take advantage of being sure you can take a hit for something and bring it in same turn

[molten oasis]

So what if I ran HHP with av

[bold geode]

Offensive item you don't have as much bulk on one side so it's kinda easier to think "hey I wanna maximize damage"

HHP with AV isn't horrible either but that's just how I feel regarding Rilla

[rustic mountain]

yea thats y im saying generally ur right, functionality wise, u want that manual pivoting to give u added flexibility. im moreso just using an example to showcase its not always gna be that simple. prolly not the best example even cause i think that was actually pre glide so was easier to slot it on there

dlc2 rilla got glide back?

or was it by reg e i forget

[bold geode]

Yeah

Also Rilla got Glide back in Reg E from Teal Mask

[rustic mountain]

ok so yea it had glide by then

[bold geode]

It should've never lost it but what do I know

[rustic mountain]

it was still good

[bold geode]

Not as good though

[rustic mountain]

i had some cool stuff w/ drum beating into surging

[bold geode]

It's bad when me who never experienced Grassy Glide Rilla in Gen 8 could use no Glide Rilla and still realize that it's worse without it

[rustic mountain]

its worse but it was still a good mon

jus took something out its toolkit briefly that just gives it added benefit. its not its only thing

[bold geode]

Like without Glide, it basically really had to fight against Hands for a role and well Hands could actually top it imo

[rustic mountain]

eh i still had rilla on a lot cause of grassy terrain and big grass damage

it def had its justifications over hands

[bold geode]

Sure Rilla offered passive healing, but you also considered a lot of stuff ran Lefties and Cresselia with Lunar Blessing was common, ESPECIALLY on one team ran with Iron Hands if you remember that team FedeCampo ran

[molten oasis]

https://pokepast.es/58ec9399c744edaf I think for THIS team I need HHP

[rustic mountain]

yea i remember it

[bold geode]

I mean the only other thing was like
It could disrupt Psyspam? But Psyspam kinda dipped until late Reg D there so

I just hate whoever first put the concept of 2-2-2 together in that Reg

[rustic mountain]

that was 1 team comp tho, rilla slotted on a lot more balance based stuff better

it was around ur acting like nobody used it then haha

[rustic mountain]

2-2-2 has been around since series 1

u can thank dozo for birthing those comps

[bold geode]

Rilla was around
Just at least imo Rilla kinda felt worse than Hands until it got Glide back

[balmy glen]

No

[rustic mountain]

hands is a great mon haha so not surprising in that sense but it wasnt to the point hands invalidated rilla useage before getting glide back

[balmy glen]

I’ll be going Baltimore and saving for Sac

[rustic mountain]

saving the sauce for sac?

[balmy glen]

maybe

also going to LAIC

Might just let Michael get his back to back sac defense if it means I can save it for an IC lul

[solid frigate]

kek

[bold geode]

Yeah
Well also I think it was a culmination of Hands + circumstances right cuz Amoongus also had Rocky Helmet Rage Powder for Ursh

[solid frigate]

i only maybe go for one Event because can't afford travel Fee

[balmy glen]

I’m also not a huge fan of this format so if I go to Baltimore loui and sac I would lose my mind before LAIC

also biggest problem. My fam broke rn

[bold geode]

Actually wait Hands has more World Championships than Rilla lol

[balmy glen]

I need to start streaming so maybe I can get some money lol

[bold geode]

I mean SwSh kinda got fucked but

[rustic mountain]

even more reason to have rilla as that natural spore immunity and rage powder ignore it also got 2nd at worlds and arguably couldve won if not for the crash flinch

[solid frigate]

in one Game but we take those

[molten oasis]

Will rilla win a worlds while in SV? We’ll see

Incin didn’t win this year either lol

[rustic mountain]

so far hands and urshi are the b2bs in sv

[molten oasis]

Fr

[bold geode]

Holy fuck my Internet is bad rn

[solid frigate]

F

[molten oasis]

Hands made a comeback and then went “don’t mess with me I’ll fuck you up”

“Me and miraidon are gonna kick your ass”

[solid frigate]

Hands just doing Catch these hands

[bold geode]

Once again my one surprise for this Worlds
The fact that Raging Bolt highest placement was 10th, which I mean still respectable but still
It's Raging Bolt we're talking about

[solid frigate]

Its Sad to see its not in a Desirable spot

[rustic mountain]

that and no csr for me

[bold geode]

Also it's great that Hearthflame won Worlds lol

[rustic mountain]

the fact it won a worlds w/o an ability

[molten oasis]

Fuck Csr

[solid frigate]

GOOD

FUCK CSR

[rustic mountain]

p much what most ppl said

[bold geode]

I honestly somehow doubted it for a tiny bit due to just how successful Wellspring was but

[rustic mountain]

hearthflame was always my fav

but i did not expect it to win worlds

[solid frigate]

i am suprised that Future Paradox mons besides hands that has usage are being used

[molten oasis]

Fr

[rustic mountain]

i dipped out on reg g tho so i was not keeping up w. any of the meta trends pre worlds

[solid frigate]

Treads,Leaves,Crown,Valiant

Anything else?

[bold geode]

Tbh
I kinda felt like it would happen lol
It kinda slowly fell into that spot once again of people respecting it a ton
Not as much as Zamazenta or other heavy mons though apparently

[rustic mountain]

nah to not even see 1 was very surprising to me, i had it as the #1 restricted. i think it was jus heavily respected

[bold geode]

Plus once again if you notice
Quite a few CSR ran 2 STAB sets and I'll die on the hill saying that 2 STAB set is not it

[solid frigate]

they both have a hard time

[molten oasis]

If it isn’t uh

Things get rough

[solid frigate]

still don't know why Wolfey still stick to Psyshock just to beat Terapagos

[rustic mountain]

im not saying it shouldnt be but i also think i was just wrong in what the best restricted was

[molten oasis]

Fair enough

I’m glad miraidon won, unlike the caly’s I think miraidon is cool and I like seeing it get played

And it’s the gen 9 legend

[rustic mountain]

yea im happy it won as well

[solid frigate]

Calyrex is still the strongest Restricted but damn CSR is not looking good in Worlds(But still i am VERY Weary on that son of a-)

[rustic mountain]

went and turned the fraud allegations upside down

[solid frigate]

At least Miraidon is being loved by People

Calyrex idk who likes it besude Calyrex players

[bold geode]

Like once again
Your main tempo carrier is Astral Barrage which gets messed up some by Dark types
Why run another move that also gets fucked by same thing
You trying to hate yourself?

[rustic mountain]

i think ice proved its the better horse and miraidon proved just outright better overall as a restricted choice

i still think its top 3 but im rethinking where whats at

[solid frigate]

its the Caly's and Miraidon

Zama,Pagos and Kyogre are the bottom 3 in the Meta Restricteds

[bold geode]

Knowing Terapagos was able to hang though was something

[mighty stump]

Cause after an NPlot that resist sometimes stops mattering

[rustic mountain]

ofc too the meta trending could cycle in which is better at what point depending on which is doing the best but i think things came to a head in reg g and we really did see which the best are

[bold geode]

Yeah but also hot take again
Key word: After

[solid frigate]

my turtle Boi still is like top 5

Zama is better tho

[rustic mountain]

idt the two stab is an issue for csr, i think theres a reason most players eventually opted for that

[solid frigate]

and Tera Dark Change on CSR is Smart

[mighty stump]

+2 252 SpA Life Orb Calyrex-Shadow Rider Astral Barrage vs. 244 HP / 4 SpD Incineroar: 129-152 (64.1 - 75.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

You can get Nplot up incredibly consistently lol

[rustic mountain]

barrage is what ur mostly clicking anyway might as well have ur other stab for the immunities and what not

[mighty stump]

+2 252 SpA Life Orb Calyrex-Shadow Rider Helping Hand Astral Barrage vs. 244 HP / 4 SpD Incineroar: 192-226 (95.5 - 112.4%) -- 75% chance to OHKO

[bold geode]

Although I will say it was funny to see the adaptation of Tera Dark CSR that some people thought would've been done first thing

[solid frigate]

Mostly Draining Kiss

But some still run Psychic moves which is weird

[rustic mountain]

nah draining kiss fell off

nobody ran that at worlds

[molten oasis]

Oh boy now I have to click play rough when they Tera dark

[rustic mountain]

not the csr teams that did well anyway

[solid frigate]

oh yeah i only see one in stream

[bold geode]

I still think Draining Kiss has its merits

[molten oasis]

In January

[bold geode]

I know the dude who fought Shohei R1 had Tera Fairy DKiss Caly S

[rustic mountain]

i think if ur cm sure but all the top csr teams were plot

[molten oasis]

Dkiss is for babies, payshock is the way to go

Who needs recovery, just attack

[solid frigate]

also i am still pissed on Hyuma Hara's Throw in Top cut-
