i dont know but i fell in love with azumarill https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2024regh-2192312066 Ngl

but im unsure if having 3 water-types is too much and try find something replace milotic with

maybe replace milo with incin https://pokepast.es/aae8f8b0ae5bd4d9 here both versions i've been fiddling with https://pokepast.es/3f5fdaf5ac72da1c

[mighty stump]

@chrome knot I lost

I threw a lead cause I made an overly unnecessary play

I'm frustrated

[dull ibex]

Hi

[zinc totem]

what are good haze users that are not water type (like palafin) or hazekrow

[dull ibex]

What do u have against haze krow

[zinc totem]

im already using tailwind setter pelipper

so i cant use hazekrow

[mighty stump]

Overqwil, Decidueye-Hisui, Gengar.

[zinc totem]

gengar uses haze? and hisui deci? interesting but i think overqwil might be way to go beacuse swift swim

i really wanna avoid tripling into water types haha

[dull ibex]

Your entire team doesn't need to abuse rain BTW

[zinc totem]

i know but i need haze user for tatsudozo

and overqwil solvers both problems with it: tera grass and haze resets stats

[dull ibex]

Gengar seems great at that

[zinc totem]

i also could go intimidate overqwil instead of going swift swim

[dull ibex]

BTW personal preference but I really dislike non prior tw

[chrome knot]

its okay it happens dont beat urself up over it

ik im not one to talk bc how i reacted to my worlds friendly but

[zinc totem]

normally i would use prankster one with tw if i need tw setter for team

but beacuse im using water type attacker, pelipper is only option to help boost its damage

[mighty stump]

It's really hard not to

Playoffs man

[bold geode]

Your TW Hyper Offense is showing (just fuckin with ya)

[zinc totem]

@mighty stump what you recommend as haze option if person already got 2 water types (pelipper and water type attacker) im asking out of curiousity

[mighty stump]

Rain can just use Overqwil.

[dull ibex]

Who are you?

[zinc totem]

so swift swim it is then?

[mighty stump]

Pretty much.

[zinc totem]

or is intimidate argueable better on it?

[bold geode]

Your dad

Hi son I'm back with the milk

[dull ibex]

No my dad is at work

[bold geode]

No, I'm the milkman

[zinc totem]

Overqwil @ Safety Goggles
Ability: Swift Swim
Level: 50
Tera Type: Dark
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature

• Barb Barrage
• Haze
• Crunch
• Protect

[dull ibex]

Milkman? What is this the 50s

[bold geode]

No you a milkman baby

[foggy lodge]

Showdown deleted the reg ladder lol

[zinc totem]

Also im almost 1400 again with current team im testing

cuz i cant decide if i should go hazetic, hazeqwil or just risk losing dozo teams with inci

[timber falcon]

it hurts so bad man

[bold geode]

Get fucked nerd

[zealous falcon]

why is dragapult best built with SPA. if it has better attack and dragon darts?

is it even best built as spa? thats just me assuming bc all the top smogon builds built it for spa

[bold geode]

Singles or doubles?

Probably singles cuz Smogon but still safe to ask anyways

[timber falcon]

missed a hurricane the next battle

[chrome knot]

what format …?

[zealous falcon]

singles yep! i was just looking for a simple dragapult build that maxes out attack and speed, what moceset would i do for that?

[bold geode]

I honestly don't know for singles, I don't really play, sorry about that

[zealous falcon]

no worries! tyy

[dull ibex]

I miss the 2d games

[knotty mirage]

So this is my reg H team that i use on in game ladder is there anything i should change ?
https://pokepast.es/bff29ebb847b438d

[foggy lodge]

the evs spread is pretty bad tbh

[knotty mirage]

I don't really remember the EV on my in game team that's just closest thing i can remember it to be it prolly different

Anything else other than EV that i might need to change ?

[empty turtle]

any suggestions for mons for reg H

[calm gulch]

i came to #BullyMonke and any united fan here

[zinc totem]

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2024regh-2192390933 okay this was hilarious battle. 9% hp azumarill just being "I am here"

[dull ibex]

the wheel decided we are making it to masterball with hyper offense

[molten oasis]

I’m convinced you decided that not the wheel

[dull ibex]

@molten oasis

[chrome knot]

why was there only 2 options

[dull ibex]

what else is there

[bold geode]

I was really hoping that balance would've just been like a tiny fucking sliver

[molten oasis]

Damn you actually spun a wheel

Also you could have also put psyspam or Archa rain on there or gambit clef balance

More specific types of teams

Also thanks annihilape for the +2 to sweep your team

[dull ibex]

isnt psyspam ho

[molten oasis]

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2024regh-2192422272-8dascmkeikiphhpz34fya2rmed4wf5ypw

[molten oasis]

Ask Emma idk

[chrome knot]

no its trick room

[dull ibex]

trick room is different enough I will consider it

[chrome knot]

its its own archetype lol

[dull ibex]

can it run turbo bear because im not getting enough bloodmoon

[chrome knot]

i dont use bm ursa so idk

probably

[dull ibex]

you think i make this shit up LMAO

[dull ibex]

I like balance alot

its alot of what I play since reg C

I have not really been a ho main since reg b

I learned balance can be played fast and its been joever

ok ill fix my wheel

to make it sun HO and clef balance

[molten oasis]

You’ve been playing hyper offense the last couple weeks

[dull ibex]

tr is a bit too hard for me

[bold geode]

https://tenor.com/view/meh-mediocre-so-so-kinda-maybe-gif-13935570

[dull ibex]

ive been going between balance teams

[molten oasis]

The grind isn’t that bad

[dull ibex]

it sure is

[molten oasis]

And it’s worth it imo

[dull ibex]

consider I DONT OWN THE DLC

[molten oasis]

Fair enough

[molten oasis]

Ah, I’ve only seen HO stuff from
You

[dull ibex]

oh also genuinely even jokingly stop making comments about it, its getting on my nerves

im broke, I want games I dont need 95 dollars on pokemon alone

[molten oasis]

Not to be like, rude, but you’re saying it’s not tr against the person that plays psyspam?

[bold geode]

Psyspam can probably actually be called HO in like simple terms
Considering there you also kinda set up speed control then sweep so like
Kinda?

[dull ibex]

trick room is like hyper offense but alot more skill based

[bold geode]

It is Trick Room stuff but it's probably like a mix if anything

[dull ibex]

and even more aggressive

[molten oasis]

sure, ig

Idk I don’t play psyspam

[bold geode]

Honestly it's a weird fucking area

[molten oasis]

Set up balance for life

[dull ibex]

I think psyspam can be played without tr maybe?

ive seen fast psyspam once or twice iirc

[chrome knot]

?

[chrome knot]

it is its own archetype

[bold geode]

I mean the way it can play is sorta similar to HO though

Set up speed control
Then big damage

[dull ibex]

here you go monke and drago

[bold geode]

Where's Dondozo on this graph

[dull ibex]

🤨

im willing to add 2 2 2 to my teams

[bold geode]

I think there might already deadass be a rental for Ttar Lycanroc 2-2-2 with Armadee and Dongiri

[dull ibex]

vc?

https://discord.com/channels/663661005514997770/1279844297314930749

[bold geode]

Work

[dull ibex]

imagine working on sunday

[bold geode]

That's every week for me

[dull ibex]

[bold geode]

I literally got hired on cuz I could work weekends

[dull ibex]

pog emploements

time to my old ass reg b dozo core

[bold geode]

Red I can tell you don't work seeing as you can't spell employment

[dull ibex]

bro thinks ive never had a job

[molten oasis]

There ain’t anything else on the wheel

[dull ibex]

thats. the joke.

[bold geode]

Drago he's a little special DW bout it

[molten oasis]

So are you

[dull ibex]

coming with the guy who can't make volc work?

[bold geode]

https://tenor.com/view/nuh-uh-gif-18399658447366638577

[bold geode]

Can't what now?

[molten oasis]

“Who can’t volc work”?

[bold geode]

Are you having a stroke bud?

[dull ibex]

what are you guys talking about?

[bold geode]

Oh Volc is ass thats why

[molten oasis]

I wonder why it says (edited) next to that

[dull ibex]

oh! i forgot the question mark

[bold geode]

Bro ate 71 lbs of rocks and died

[molten oasis]

Volc’s coverage is the issue

[dull ibex]

volcarona is genuinely great

[molten oasis]

I think it’s fine otherwise but there’s a lot of dragons and uh, volc wants to run fire and grass coverage rn

And rain makes its life miserable

[bold geode]

Nah the issue is that Volc just sucks into rain and like gets walled by Sun shit too lmao

[molten oasis]

Armarouge sucks for it

Doesn’t like seeing harc at all

[dull ibex]

thats what the rest of the team is for 🤣

[bold geode]

Like it gets boosted Heat Waves but that's still a resist there

[molten oasis]

Bruh

Alright go use spidops

[dull ibex]

[bold geode]

Ngl rn Volc seems exploitable AF

[dull ibex]

thats sounds funny as shit I might

[molten oasis]

CLEARLY if you just build around the Mon it’ll work perfectly

[dull ibex]

drago forget ill take that seriously and do it

[bold geode]

Yeah bitch you should've won NAIC with Zac bitch didn't build around it dumbass

[dull ibex]

meh thats fair, on clef balance specifically it seems really good and accounted for

[molten oasis]

Yea clefable is a big help for it

[bold geode]

Cuz Clef balance is like an actual clean team lol

[dull ibex]

I need to get tofu's help fighting sun

[molten oasis]

however I’m playing a9 where clefable would be so

Sucks to suck ig

(The a9 is doing a good job)

Team supports dengo very well

[dull ibex]

ive lost both of my reg h games

[molten oasis]

Which is what I’m focusing on this reg

[bold geode]

Feel like Clef balance covers for MUs decently although Psyspam and Sun iirc are rough for the OG version

[molten oasis]

Rip

[molten oasis]

The og version?

[bold geode]

With Gengar or whatever version has Gengar

[molten oasis]

Ah

[dull ibex]

is there a new version? sun demolishes me

https://x.com/AndyBakesYT/status/1828976894550913494 this version is the one im using lmao

Andrew Armstrong 🥥 🌴 (@AndyBakesYT) on X

Clefable stocks are over the moon as it’s quickly become the face of balance in VGC Reg H!

How did this happen? Why is this team so good? Follow along for SlowHomie’s Guide to Clefable Balance!

[molten oasis]

Typhlosion sun/torkoal sun or just sun in general

[dull ibex]

yes.

[molten oasis]

Ok

Could replace the ghost

For like, uh

[dull ibex]

the ghost is important to this version

[molten oasis]

that makes things difficult

[bold geode]

Idk how many people are running Pult with it but that looks solid

[molten oasis]

Tera fire high horsepower rillaboom is an option

[dull ibex]

pult felt bad

[molten oasis]

Pult seems good for Typhlosion kinda

[dull ibex]

but you triple up on being weak to fairy

[molten oasis]

That’s ok

[bold geode]

Pult can do big damage, it's just a bit of tera hog rn cuz Kingambit is popular

[dull ibex]

NO it is not lmao

[molten oasis]

Yes it is dude

[bold geode]

Not many Fairies tbh rn

[dull ibex]

mf I PLAYED IT

[molten oasis]

Having 3 weaknesses to something is fine

[dull ibex]

im not talking about out of my ass

[molten oasis]

ok gimme the team

[dull ibex]

its literally that team but with pult banded

[molten oasis]

I’ll go throw it at the ladder with pult and see how it feels, I think pult helps with typhlosion

Or you can do high horse on rilla

[dull ibex]

uturn good.

[molten oasis]

It’s that or have an abysmal mu to sun

[dull ibex]

no its not lmao

ill figure out what i do into sun

[molten oasis]

Then why are you complaining about it just play better

[dull ibex]

you are insufferable

im allowed to complain man

[molten oasis]

ok

[dull ibex]

ive considered these options and used them

[molten oasis]

ok

[dull ibex]

https://pokepast.es/6fc56a0fb8d33258 this is the pult version

feel free to mess with movesets and teras 🙂

electric clef has a niche I liked so I kept it

[molten oasis]

Ok

I’ll see how this feels

[dull ibex]

good luck I hope pult works for you

[molten oasis]

Oh you got the Tera dragon volc sauce

Neat

[dull ibex]

its not tera blast in game

maybe it should be?

giga drain seemed important so i kept it

[solid frigate]

i become Red's Tera Shard Storage lol

[molten oasis]

Better coverage or recovery your choice

Which one? I’d like to be as accurate as possible to whatever you have ingame

[dull ibex]

alright let me redo it then

[molten oasis]

Ok

[bold geode]

I kinda like U Turn Rilla a tiny bit more rn
Just due to the fact that Rilla kinda just goated rn

[molten oasis]

Mu dependent imo but I agree u-turn is generally better on av rilla

[dull ibex]

https://pokepast.es/bb84d24abb330ebc here you go

[molten oasis]

Ty

[bold geode]

I think Rilla probably best Mon of format no cap

[solid frigate]

i could see and agree with

[dull ibex]

if you end up not liking pult I told you so

[molten oasis]

I think it’s dengo, personally

[dull ibex]

typh has a really good time this rteg

[bold geode]

Rilla just honestly has felt super slappable so far

[molten oasis]

I feel that way with dengo and Tauros, but I agree rilla can kinda go anywhere

Except psyspam, I think

I’ve seen WAY MORE rilla than incin too

[solid frigate]

yep

[bold geode]

It honestly does kinda feel like Incin slappable rn

Like when you could slap Incin on basically anything before? Kinda feels same way about Rilla rn, it's value is just amazing rn

[nocturne holly]

are y’all feeling high horsepower or u turn on rilla

I think I’ve switched to hh

[dull ibex]

https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/battle-gen9vgc2024regh-2192442269-9m43flmq3b5bjsfx79esizn5eblha3wpw this is so funny

their ttar has big all of my friends are dead syndrome rn

[molten oasis]

Honestly

For last reg I felt the same way

Rillas so easy to put on a team it’s nice

There’s more fire types to consider for a team than grass usually

[bold geode]

Well like honestly so far this gen maybe hot take, this is probably the best Rilla has been
Like genuinely so far this Reg every team I analyze that has Rilla on it I never have anything bad to say about Rilla
Like basically every one is Rilla is just Rilla cuz there's just no critiques

[molten oasis]

Rilla has good damage and utility

Bulky, great ability, he’s just the perfect guy

[solid frigate]

sure the SPD is bad but We have AV

Tapu Bulu Crying in the corner be like

[bold geode]

I mean I've also seen Miracle Seed put in work too so like it's just pretty versatile rn, which it was before but more now, and it kinda has a decent MU into quite a bit of the meta too so

You mess with Psyspam's tempo with the terrain, Dozo you resist Crash and weaken EQ with terrain, SE into BloodMoon and only really get OHKO'd from Tera Normal BloodMoon, you basically shit on Palafin and Primarina, and just have good stuff for other things too so

[dull ibex]

any update on pult?

[whole ibex]

I have a shiny 0 speed teddy and I was wondering if I transfer back to PLA would it reset the ivs and lose the 0 speed?

[dull ibex]

legends arceus doesnt use evs and ivs iirc

[whole ibex]

Ok so I should be fine?

[bold geode]

Should be fine

[dull ibex]

alos the ivs either way are permenant unless hyper trained

[torn parrot]

Max speed sturdy tera electric archaludon might be him

[chrome knot]

stats dont change

[whole ibex]

Thanks everyone

[dull ibex]

good luck 🫡

[zinc totem]

https://pokepast.es/a4ea407818d9229e i wonder how this team fares

[whole ibex]

Also, I know transfer Pokémon get the strange ball. My teddy has the moon ball so if I transfer it to PLA, would it permanently be a strange even if I transfer it back to S/V?

[dull ibex]

I don't think so but I'm not fully sure

[knotty mirage]

I wonder is it just me or i see less incin in this reg

[chrome knot]

ball stays

nothing abt the pokemon changes!!!!

[whole ibex]

Ok so the moon ball stays? Nice to know

[chrome knot]

i have a love ball the once careless h-lilligant

[bold geode]

You're careless
Boom got em

[chrome knot]

look how cute the description is

[molten oasis]

I’ve been cooked by a garganacl glimmora, yippee

[zinc totem]

how you even get that one

[chrome knot]

oras

on thursday

[pallid hare]

or BDSP

or DPPt

[chrome knot]

on a petilil?

[pallid hare]

oh, never mind then

but yeah, ORAS is the only way to get it on a Petlil

[chrome knot]

im general ur right

for my specific mon noooo :3

[merry anvil]

mfw

[modern harbor]

hiii emma i saw ur message

i been wanting to use something a little more out of the ordinary to surprise people on cart since it's closed team sheet

https://pokepast.es/438116e4f751e35a

[golden cliff]

Hi guys, Is the fastwst way to build a Pokemon Just buyin EVs drinks and gettin tera shards from the item generator thingy?

[knotty briar]

Pretty much

[torn parrot]

Guys

I think porygon z is strong

Insanely strong

[solid frigate]

it is.

[cerulean rose]

Hi, anyone here up for a 2v2? We need 2 more people

@me if your interested

[molten oasis]

@dull ibex pult feels fine

[dull ibex]

alright

[nocturne holly]

what are some good teammates for ttar

Ttar works in tr right
Thinking of ttar blursa fari as a start

[molten oasis]

What does ttar do for blursa?

[nocturne holly]

Moreso ttar benefits from tr

[molten oasis]

ig

[bold geode]

So I didn't mention this, but the Bloodmoon set I mentioned was actually on a fun take of Rajan's Indy team with if I gathered it right Specs Kilowattrell

[molten oasis]

Ik this isn’t the place but would anyone wanna shiny hunt with me today, if you have scarlet? I want a marked hydreigon and alolan ninetales, ofc I’ll return the favor

[woven hinge]

would maushold using population bomb + wide lens be good competitively?

[molten oasis]

It’s ok

You can use it sure

[woven hinge]

i use it as an opening when im just playing through the game and not actually playing competitive

[molten oasis]

If you go Tera normal+technician it can be a really annoying thing to deal with

Although typically supportive maushold is better

[woven hinge]

yeah i was kinda thinking that

[molten oasis]

@main lodge don’t send messages in rental teams plz

If you have questions ask here

[molten oasis]

Idk where you’d put it team wise

But it’s not bad

[woven hinge]

same

[main lodge]

Hello so iam new here and i hade a question so if someon could be so nice and make me a team you can be very creatfull but just three pokemon must be pls in ther at first Metagross the second would be chansey or Blissey and thrid would be suelor . I already happy anout your anwsers and yeah thank you all 👋🦖🦕

[kindred cypress]

#1040555642668199936

[woven hinge]

my team that im using right now for my normal playthrough is maushold, dragonite (sometimes garchomp instead), Kilowattrel, Raichu, gengar, and dondozo

[molten oasis]

You think union circle is gonna help

Everytime I ask I get NOTHING

[kindred cypress]

Ask nicely

[molten oasis]

N-O-T-H-I-N-G

I HAVE

[kindred cypress]

Then just buy scarlet smh

[molten oasis]

I’m not blowing $60 bruh

[kindred cypress]

Buy physical beat it and shiny hunt in 1 day then return

Simple

[hard swift]

So i was building this team for reg h and I wanted feedback on anything i might want to change about movesets or stats as well as if i might just want to swap out some pokemon completely https://pokepast.es/24cef684e8bf9799

[molten oasis]

That’s not worth it either I’m still spending $60

[chrome knot]

@tranquil kraken can u delete msg in rental chat

[tranquil kraken]

#rental_teams

@main lodge Please don't send messages other than rental teams in that channel 🙏

[molten oasis]

In fact I’d be spending $90 to shiny hunt ninetales, yea that’s not worth it AT ALL

[dense latch]

you almost always want life orb on BM ursa

drop lorb on gholdengo and swap it for metal coat or leftovers, or even a choice item

idk how well bloodmoon fits in this team when there's no trick room or tw mode anyways

i would also run parting shot instead of flare blitz on incin

[molten oasis]

Eh

Av is valid here imo

[dense latch]

i think the team needs protect

only having one pokemon with protect isn't exactly ideal

[molten oasis]

Dengo has protect no?

[dense latch]

not rn

that's also a change

[molten oasis]

Oh wtf

[dense latch]

tera grass on gholdengo is also pretty weird

[molten oasis]

I mean, you can get by with 2 protect but yea that dengo needs protect over gleam

[dense latch]

you don't cancel out any of your weaknesses

[molten oasis]

Tera dragon or fairy on dengo

[dense latch]

and the EV spreads could also be better

but that's a much less important problem

[molten oasis]

Sitrus Rotom would be better or replacing it with Tauros aqua

Moonblast on a9 is required

You need parting shot on incin

[chrome knot]

lorb is good on dengo :^) whats more concerning is nasty plot no protect

[dense latch]

oh yeah fs, I just think ursaluna benefits from lorb better

[dull ibex]

nasty plot and no protect???

[molten oasis]

NP+LORB opens up immediate damage capabilities and you can maximize more on bulk

[dense latch]

i would probably drop ursaluna

[chrome knot]

not rly every lorb dengo ive had was near max max lmfao

just blow shit up

[dull ibex]

max max is good on set up dengo?

[molten oasis]

mm, I’ve seen bulkier ones, but that also makes plenty of sense

I like the bulk, yea dengo has good natural bulk

[chrome knot]

also literally what are any of these spreads very wasteful

[molten oasis]

With TW support you can just nuke shit

[dull ibex]

speaking of wasteful spreads my bulky dengo is a bad spread I think

[chrome knot]

if you don’t know what to calc for just 252/252 until you find things you want to achieve

[molten oasis]

Why? What’s the spread?

[dull ibex]

Gholdengo @ Leftovers
Ability: Good as Gold
Level: 50
Tera Type: Dragon
EVs: 60 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 188 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk

• Nasty Plot
• Make It Rain
• Shadow Ball
• Protect

it speed ties max pelipper maximizes special attack

[molten oasis]

What is the 60 HP for?

[dull ibex]

dump

[molten oasis]

Just go max speed at that point then

[dull ibex]

thats what tofu said

[chrome knot]

so why not 252/252 lmao

[dull ibex]

I dont remember tbh

[molten oasis]

Idt it’s enough leftover to warrant that kind of spread

[dull ibex]

I can go max max now tbh

[bold geode]

Speed tying is rough when you can invest one more point and outspeed and do a dump if you wanna

[molten oasis]

If you have like, 150ish

[dull ibex]

I totally agree btw

[molten oasis]

I think it’s fine, but less than that eh

[dull ibex]

like I said im p sure this is a useless spread

[molten oasis]

Just go max max

[bold geode]

It looks rough yeah

[molten oasis]

No harm in it

[dull ibex]

I have max spa and max speed on my shiny

ill be using that more regardless

[molten oasis]

Just use that then perfect

[bold geode]

You also don't really need to go max spatk on N Plot Dengo since you're really going for those Plots, but yeah I guess max max works

[molten oasis]

According to Emma nasty plot LORB dengo’s are max max

[bold geode]

No?

[molten oasis]

Which I at least haven’t heard about but I don’t talk to people about spreads, I just use what works for me

[bold geode]

I've never seen a max max N Plot Dengo period

[chrome knot]

mine were bc i had nothing to calc for if they all died

[molten oasis]

POV: red

Bruh lmao

Like that’s fair, I think adding bulk is helpful

But if you don’t know what it needs to live there’s like, 0 point

I like living sucker from gambit, non boosted

you live it with minimal bulk bruh

252+ Atk Kingambit Sucker Punch vs. 36 HP / 0 Def Gholdengo: 140-168 (83.8 - 100.5%) -- 6.3% chance to OHKO

Incin knock off/blitz there ya go

0 Atk Incineroar Flare Blitz vs. 204 HP / 0 Def Gholdengo: 158-188 (84 - 100%) -- 6.3% chance to OHKO

[solid frigate]

kek

[molten oasis]

I feel like an idiot lol

[bold geode]

Wait why your bitch ass so bulky with Dengo then

[molten oasis]

Monke I have a veil setter

Why would I not play bulky dengo

[bold geode]

Because Veil helps it already 🤷‍♂️

[molten oasis]

More bulk=more serviceability

[dull ibex]

ill win

[molten oasis]

AUTO CORRECT WHYY

[bold geode]

You're using Veil to help it live the things it doesn't without Veil

[molten oasis]

more SURVIVABILITY

and I don’t bring a9 every game

[dull ibex]

im with drago here

there is nothing wrong with bulky dengo

[molten oasis]

Monke WE were playing bulky LORB dengo for a bit

[bold geode]

I mean yeah that's just another option

Hey bitch you gave me the spreads

[molten oasis]

I’m pretty sure tofu plays the same kind of dengo

[mighty stump]

I what

[bold geode]

You see the thing I DMed you?

[molten oasis]

Do you not play bulkier on LORB NP dengo?

[chrome knot]

hi tofu

[molten oasis]

I thought I remembered seeing a set like that

[dull ibex]

I think its notes time btw

[molten oasis]

ig not my bad

[dull ibex]

for me

[molten oasis]

Maybe I was thinking of a different team I saw from someone else

[mighty stump]

I’m still upset

Lol

[molten oasis]

What happened?

[mighty stump]

I woke up sad

[dull ibex]

everything good? what happened

oh it be like that sometimes

[mighty stump]

Dropped playoffs

Threw G3

[molten oasis]

oh, sorry man

[bold geode]

Tofu you just gotta move on sadly
Shit happens

[dull ibex]

thats rough

[bold geode]

Though I do feel you

[hard swift]

If I drop ursaluna what should I put in it's place

[mighty stump]

Yeah unfortunately player pride and sense of responsibility makes it hard to do that but everyone on the team has been incredibly nice

[dull ibex]

I would not give this advice lmao

but ye it be like that

[bold geode]

I mean it's a harsh reality tbh

As bad as it feels, the past is also the past

[dull ibex]

sure I totally agree but I would til atleast AFTER the person is sad lmao

that being said you'll get em next time tofu

[bold geode]

Hey you know me

[molten oasis]

Next league for sure

[mighty stump]

Well it helps when the NAIC Champion tells you its okay and said you had great games

[bold geode]

I'm just brutally honest and to the point sometimes
But hey yeah you can get it next time brother
You gotta fall on your ass before you succeed

[molten oasis]

That’s hype, oh yes I forgot that was one of your teammates

[mighty stump]

Brutally honest shit doesn’t work on me

[chrome knot]

i understand honestly

[dull ibex]

brutally honest is a bad idea for someone still actively sad monke lmao

[mighty stump]

But I appreciate the sentiment

[bold geode]

Fuck you
Now go beat Hawk Tuah on ladder

[mighty stump]

I just hate the thought of next time

I wanted now

[dull ibex]

holy shit I feel that

[molten oasis]

That’s real

[solid frigate]

It kinda is,i felt that

[mighty stump]

I have never felt more emotional/cared more than I had yesterday

regarding a loss

[bold geode]

Yeah
Sometimes now just doesn't happen
Just have a mad redemption arc

[dull ibex]

god i feel this

[solid frigate]

honestly thats a bit rare now

[mighty stump]

I take Haikyuu’s Inarizaki’s motto way to heart

[molten oasis]

I wish I had something to redeem

[bold geode]

Which one is that

[molten oasis]

id like to participate in a draft league eventually

[bold geode]

Redeem some bitches

[molten oasis]

Nah, all I need is vgc

And Bloons

[mighty stump]

After yesterday’s loss I genuinely felt the need to drop all the content/creative work and commit to metagaming

[solid frigate]

at least you wish to have it

I don’t have something to redeem lol

[molten oasis]

Do you still feel that way?

[mighty stump]

I’ll make content for content’s sake but I’m raising my team standard

[molten oasis]

Ic

[solid frigate]

VGC can be fustrated sometimes and hell I haven’t built a good team this Month in Reg H

[molten oasis]

I have, something

[mighty stump]

https://tenor.com/view/haikyuu-we-dont-need-the-memories-memories-inarizaki-gif-17404974796398636322

[solid frigate]

i mean August cuz thats where the format teambuilder starts

[chrome knot]

proud of you for acknowledging this and being able to take a step forward abt it, it seems silly to be commended for it but

[foggy lodge]

i don't know what happened but i hope you'll feel better soon tofu

[molten oasis]

THROW

[forest arrow]

Nah commended rightfully so, it’s hard to get up when you get knocked down

[solid frigate]

THROW

[molten oasis]

I need those fucking shinies

[mighty stump]

The team I ran was definitely good, and I have no regrets with it. But I’m not leaving anything without knowing I’ve done everything

[forest arrow]

okay so hunt them I told you I’d message you when I’m free

[molten oasis]

I can’t dude

[mighty stump]

My goal was to connect and grow and move forward

[molten oasis]

They’re in the game I can’t access

[bold geode]

Honestly I'd use some of my content for stuff like draft, but only either cuz it's more meta or I've put in a ton of reps with it

[molten oasis]

sorry, I’ve been waiting weeks

It’s getting irritating

[mighty stump]

I’m just saying in genera

[molten oasis]

Schedules just haven’t lined up

[mighty stump]

I need to be better

[molten oasis]

[dull ibex]

tourneys would be awful for my mental ngl

im hyper competitive

[bold geode]

Heard brother
I feel that a lot

[mighty stump]

It’s less about my loss and more about how it also felt like there were people counting on me as well

[bold geode]

Honestly kinda quite the opposite effect

[mighty stump]

I feel I’d take a solo loss in a tour better

My team has the best teammates and manager I think I could ask for

[solid frigate]

Honestly kinda is for me but i do not get rage until i got Lucked or overwhelmed with Fustration

(hell you can ask Throw about my VC rage on a rougelike gamemode)

[molten oasis]

might as well buy scarlet idk man

[dull ibex]

I rage super super easily

[dull ibex]

thats pretty cool tbh

[bold geode]

Honestly kinda feel like that's a you issue no offense

[forest arrow]

No that’ understandable, it’s not the loss, it’s the fact that you feel like you let the team down, i get it

[mighty stump]

Go Ultra Space Timelords!!!

[mighty stump]

Yea

[chrome knot]

glad you had a lovely experience tofu tbh

[mighty stump]

Not my best showing either

[dull ibex]

as we are talking about personal issues, monke what is the point of this lmao

[mighty stump]

I defo got what I wanted out of it and now I’m hungry for more

Starving

[bold geode]

I mean no offense but 🤷‍♂️

[chrome knot]

i went 0-2 in a format i didn’t like said yall can bench me im hindering more than im helping and never showed up after that

[mighty stump]

Oh dear

[chrome knot]

i wasnt needed

and reg g was frustrating the way meta was curving during that time

[solid frigate]

i'm kinda the opposite here

I kinda struggle to teambuild in Reg H

[dull ibex]

im a bit fustrated with my laddering ngl

[bold geode]

I just feel like the raging can be controlled

[mighty stump]

I’m aso mildly frustrated cause it broke my win strrak

[solid frigate]

cuz like when i want a mon that i can fit it perfectly and all that it said is,Too bad,its banned

[dull ibex]

yes monke very easy for you to speak for my raging, please just drop it

[mighty stump]

Im ending 3-1

[chrome knot]

ouhh

[mighty stump]

But thats less important

Lol

[chrome knot]

no bueno, 3-1 is good thoo

[mighty stump]

It is!

[solid frigate]

its still 75/25 so you good man

[mighty stump]

But I need to be better

[chrome knot]

if i 6-3 a regional like idk what ill do with myself ngl tofu

temporary paralysis

[mighty stump]

I feel id take a bubble better than this HAHA

[solid frigate]

i mean if its like a first time then yea its good

I mean we saw Keanu get into top 20 in first worlds

[dull ibex]

but yeah im a little fustrated about my laddering

[chrome knot]

like genuinely missing day 2 by 1 would be awful

[dull ibex]

im sure ill improve soon enough

[molten oasis]

Play and practice

[dull ibex]

Ye

[molten oasis]

Get some good habits to help you kill the rage

[solid frigate]

you will no prob,if the randoms can get into 1600 for seemingly from Grinding

You can do it

[molten oasis]

That’s what I’m doing rn, I’ve had the same issues for a while

[mighty stump]

I think I need to temper my instinctual play with more solid logical flow and stop applying my own thoughts to the opponents

[dull ibex]

Please dont bring up my raging I dont want to talk about it anymore

[solid frigate]

like listen to calm music while laddering or take few breaks from laddering

[bold geode]

I mean Tofu went 3-1 but overall I can understand cuz like just the weight of the loss compared to the wins

[molten oasis]

…I should go I feel like a jerk

[mighty stump]

Cause I actively understand the plays to cover so it’s not like I’m missing information

[molten oasis]

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

[dull ibex]

no its fine im not mad at you

[bold geode]

I mean me and Drago are trying to help, no need for that shit

[chrome knot]

i get the pleasure of potentially rooming with Olivia for louisville so that’ll be vry good matchup prep night before @mighty stump but other than that wanna help me replay review and make notes during september grind

[bold geode]

Wait now I am being an ass my bad

[dull ibex]

drop it

[mighty stump]

Yes

[dull ibex]

tofu what can my team do about rain

[solid frigate]

the Gambit Balance?

[dull ibex]

SHIT

[mighty stump]

I don’t know, I’m not thinking about other people’s teams right now

[dull ibex]

alright fair

[dull ibex]

yeah i meant sun

[bold geode]

But yeah just try to do stuff to help the rage trust it's easier
The only reason I bring it up is cuz tours can actually like
Vastly help you improve lol
So it's less about the rage and more try tournaments

[forest arrow]

You’re playing Sun rn?

[dull ibex]

I don't want to talk about anymore

[bold geode]

Somehow the caliber of player is higher

[dull ibex]

no I want to know what the gambit balance can do about sun

[forest arrow]

Alr

[bold geode]

Even in online tours

[mighty stump]

Sometimes unwanted advice can be just as hurtful, Monke

Advice must be seeked for it to be accepted

[solid frigate]

i mean tbf i need some insights about some teambuild cuz i built 10 teams and only 2 make it pass 1400

[chrome knot]

okie epic thanks, she coaching tmrw and i think i wanna ask her abt literally the meta rn in higher echelons and how i can play into better, plan etc

[mighty stump]

Otherwise it’s a slap in the face

[bold geode]

🤷‍♂️

[dull ibex]

ive worked very hard on my rage I dont really need to be told to just deal with it or its a me issue, I dont want advice

[bold geode]

True

[solid frigate]

then go for it,do your best

[karmic temple]

Hi friends

[bold geode]

Just stating my perspective, sorry if I come across as some unbridled asshole or something

[dull ibex]

yeah for sure I just need to take notes

[bold geode]

I'm an asshole a lot anyways so 🤷‍♂️

[solid frigate]

hoi frendo

[dull ibex]

when I figure out my sun matchup ill get a bit further on cart

[solid frigate]

honestly same,but i will give reg H 1 more week to convince me playing

[mighty stump]

I’m sure red isn’t upset, just make sure to ask if you can give advice before sending it out

[molten oasis]

Sure, I still feel like a jerk, should have asked first and I feel like I keep pissing people off in general

[dull ibex]

fair enough, I hope you feel better soon

[karmic temple]

Reg H is finally my time to return to vgc I’ve been waiting for this format

[rustic mountain]

mood

[chrome knot]

hi tree

[rustic mountain]

hey

[dull ibex]

rain is super enough to deal with I think

[chrome knot]

hru

[dull ibex]

I have tools to resist water and deal with archa

[rustic mountain]

tired hbu

[bold geode]

Anyways are you using Clef shit?

[dull ibex]

ye

[bold geode]

Well keep in mind with Sun, you're already looking at a pretty bad MU iirc so mapping it out might be rough anyways

[dull ibex]

yeah that is the rough part

[molten oasis]

I think sun mu is kinda rough for that team in general, maybe a like through volc could help?

[chrome knot]

volc is neutral to fire

[mighty stump]

@chrome knot Gengar is actually real

Crazy

[bold geode]

Thing is Volc doesn't do much in return

[chrome knot]

gengar is scary

[rustic mountain]

yea volcs not a great sun answer

[solid frigate]

Genger

[dull ibex]

maybe tera blast dragon?

[bold geode]

Like even with QD boosts, you're doing resists

[dull ibex]

maybe I can forgo giga

[foggy lodge]

which tera is gengar usually running? Stellar?

[bold geode]

Possibly 🤷‍♂️ though I think Tera Blast Dragon is probably fake

[molten oasis]

Idk there’s not much to, do

[bold geode]

What other

[molten oasis]

To fix the mu

[rustic mountain]

[tiny karma]

Volcarona's moveset:

Notes

A move displayed with Bold text benefits from Same-Type Attack Bonus when used by Volcarona.

Sableye version 4.28.0

[dull ibex]

🤔

[molten oasis]

My other thought was HHP on rilla but you want to keep u-turn

[solid frigate]

i like how Volcarona has a good Movepool but only can run few stuff

[bold geode]

Volc really has nothing for Sun lmao
Except if you do like
Tera Ground Blast

I think I saw that once though it's fucking stupid

[rustic mountain]

having fire/grass is one of the main benefits of using volc. any other volc set ive seen w/ like struggle bug and what not hasnt been good

[dull ibex]

im not tera grass so idk

[foggy lodge]

it has the enough movepool to have two completely different roles in a team atleast

The support Volca and the set up

[molten oasis]

I’m not sure what to do for the sun mu tbh

[bold geode]

Honestly why not Tera Dragon Gambito

[molten oasis]

Into typhlosion I think you just sucker punch the typhlosion

Torkoal seems like the worse of the 2 mu’s

[dull ibex]

aren't i worried about tera there

[solid frigate]

wait whats the team tho

No Priority Blocker?

[molten oasis]

The goal is to shut down eruption that helps

[bold geode]

Tera Dragon Gambit might be worth a shot

[dull ibex]

I didnt consider that ill try it

[bold geode]

Yeah if they're not using Eruption it's a bit more manageable

But I feel like Dragon Gambit might be worth a shot

[molten oasis]

You can also just Tera fire and click wood hammer with rilla

Which does a good chunk to it

[forest arrow]

You usually can’t sucker tho

[bold geode]

Tera Dragon Gambit + Clef to redirect Moonblasts 🤷‍♂️

[forest arrow]

Sun teams usually have Farig or Indeedee

[molten oasis]

Do typhlosion teams run Fari?

[forest arrow]

Yes

[bold geode]

They should

[solid frigate]

usually

[molten oasis]

ah

Yea Tera fire wood hammer ig

[bold geode]

If they don't they're fuckin throwing

[solid frigate]

if they don't run Psyspams then yeah

[foggy lodge]

ive seen indeedee too

[molten oasis]

Tauros kinda just explodes unfortunately

[solid frigate]

ok why did i want to build i psyspam team just for giggles

[molten oasis]

Poor spD does not help

[foggy lodge]

I think Htyphlo has to play anti priority

[molten oasis]

I’ve seen many no anti prio typhlosion teams

Idk why, I just rarely see it

With anti prio

[forest arrow]

The ones with male indeedee are just like why

[foggy lodge]

what's the usual comp of Htyphlo?

[molten oasis]

Male indeedee lmao

[forest arrow]

Just run female and click helping hand

[solid frigate]

why would they run that

[solid frigate]

for Scarf its Eruption,Heat Wave/Flamethrower,Solar Beam and Shadow Ball

[molten oasis]

Usually they have ty whimsi, I think Bloodmoon and fari is common with them

[forest arrow]

Typhlo, Whims, Blursa, Farig, Meow, Prim

[molten oasis]

Meow and prim, neat

[forest arrow]

yeah some do pledge stuff

[molten oasis]

I think prim is kinda weird rn

[forest arrow]

Others opt for scarf and haze

[solid frigate]

oh fuck i thought is set for Typhlo-

[molten oasis]

Idt it’s bad but it feels awkward to me

[foggy lodge]

Yes i saw that

Never thought id see that lol

[molten oasis]

like just in general, playing dodge the monkey sucks

[forest arrow]

https://pokepast.es/2678ee82a4f1ffff

[foggy lodge]

But the pledge effects are pretty big

[forest arrow]

I’m playing my this right now

Swamp is the best pledge yes

I wasn’t liking it tho

[molten oasis]

We lost miraidon and replaced it with typhlosion lol

[forest arrow]

lol true 🤣

[molten oasis]

I like that typhlosion is a meta thing

Cool Mon

[solid frigate]

moment

[molten oasis]

I should play more archetypes, I played some clef gambit stuff it feels solid

[dull ibex]

anyone feel like watching weegeecee?

in a bit

[molten oasis]

Idt I’ll, pursue gambit clef stuff

[forest arrow]

Yeah we love to see typhlo popping off

[bold geode]

Weegeecee

[molten oasis]

I’m pretty set on what mons I want to play

[dull ibex]

I think ill be around in an hour?

[forest arrow]

I miss him

[molten oasis]

And then try to shove a9 into everything

[foggy lodge]

Thanks

[molten oasis]

Chocky milk

[bold geode]

I want my milk the chocky way

[dull ibex]

[solid frigate]

i miss em

[molten oasis]

Yk who I miss

https://tenor.com/view/urshifu-single-strike-style-pokemon-gif-9650376735301657740

I’m not even joking shifus as really fun Mon to use

even if it’s stupid

[dull ibex]

it makes the game a bit boring

[molten oasis]

I also think Archa rain over and over again is pretty boring

[dull ibex]

I miss ogerpon

[forest arrow]

You know what beats archa rains? 😭

[dull ibex]

agreed

[forest arrow]

https://tenor.com/view/pokemon-terastallized-terastallization-iron-hands-hariyama-gif-4551868613919324826

[foggy lodge]

I spammed that team all reg F

[bold geode]

Nah bitch PaoTeiZama

[solid frigate]

[forest arrow]

I was just telling Torrent how I missed reg f lmao

[foggy lodge]

True

[solid frigate]

SAME I MISS REG F

PELI ARCHA IS NOT A NUISANCE HERE

[forest arrow]

I will be playing zama in January dont worrry lol

[bold geode]

Yeah I just got good at Reg F when Reg G was announced bro

[foggy lodge]

I think whe reg G comes back im playing the Zama Chien Pao Rillaboom Entei core

[solid frigate]

I'm Hard Lock on Miraidon or Terapagos

and Bring Miraidon into EUIC cuz why the heck not

[forest arrow]

I played PaoTeiNite all reg f when in reg G PaoTeiZama was there the whole time

Why

[foggy lodge]

im tryharding to become a very good Zama player tbh

[solid frigate]

same but Miraidon and Terapagos for me

[pastel blade]

Is it reg h yet?

[bold geode]

Yes

[solid frigate]

in Showdown yea

[forest arrow]

Yeah started yesterday

[pastel blade]

On the game

[forest arrow]

yes

[solid frigate]

nope then

[forest arrow]

You can ladder on cart

[foggy lodge]

Miraidon is so cool

im between Miraidon and Zama tbh

[solid frigate]

my team literally almost everything can prevent Caly Ice from TR lol

[foggy lodge]

if the santiago regional is single restricted idk what to do lol

For some reason Zama is played a lot here

[forest arrow]

Mirror match time baby lol

[solid frigate]

meanwhile me:

[foggy lodge]

Spamming the Chien Pao Zamazenta lead lol

[foggy lodge]

cooool

I love the Crown on that team

Your Miraidon is tera electric or tera fairy?

[solid frigate]

i bring my boi crown solely because it can OHKO Caly Ice

[pastel blade]

You should nickname iron hands Spanky

[solid frigate]

Fairy,I don't like Discharge

[foggy lodge]

Makes sense

i saw a clip of Miraidon dazzling gleam

[rustic mountain]

tera fairy become the default for miraidon by the end of reg g

[foggy lodge]

Didn't thought it would deal so much damage😭

[forest arrow]

Surprised the heck outta me lol

[solid frigate]

it just people don't run Specs and Volt Switch in early meta

[forest arrow]

I mean it’s works exceptionally

But it was just a sudden shift out of no where lol

[solid frigate]

D-Gleam is fine

Its just people afraid of Specs and don't know about Volt Switch

[rustic mountain]

it had been around i didnt think itd become that common tho. i think ppl bridged the gap b/w the cm and av sets that were running it and jus were like why not w/ specs nd yea it def works lol

[solid frigate]

btw i might keep My Team's moveset and EVs as a secret cuz they are fullfilling a secret mission

[foggy lodge]

There was a AV Miraidon in top 16 at worlds right?

[solid frigate]

with Dozogiri yeah

[foggy lodge]

Oh its fine dont worry

[forest arrow]

Discharge was just like, you have to build around that, and that was kind of a hindrance in itself

[solid frigate]

exactly which i don't like it at all

[forest arrow]

Like it’s good don’t get me wrong but you know what I mean

[molten oasis]

Dozogiri

[solid frigate]

Meanwhile Miraidon just nukes pass dozogiri

[molten oasis]

You’re playing reg g?

That ladder is still up?

[foggy lodge]

Showdown deleted it

[solid frigate]

no i am not

[rustic mountain]

Lmaoooo

[solid frigate]

kek

[molten oasis]

Eric Andre, funny guy

[rustic mountain]

[solid frigate]

true

[rustic mountain]

that shit made no sense to me at 1st wen i 1st seen it back in the day at like 3am. then for some reason a year or two later it just clicked haha

[dull ibex]

monke off topic but do you like sloppy joes?

[forest arrow]

Who doesn’t like sloppy Joe’s

[rustic mountain]

i dont

[dull ibex]

my dad made em and put extra brown sugar in i think

[forest arrow]

ooo

[dull ibex]

it almost doesnt feel like eating meat legit

[forest arrow]

In the words of Rengoku

TASTY!

[rustic mountain]

[forest arrow]

What

Did he use ground beef?

[dull ibex]

yeah

i ate 5 over the course of the day

2 at 3ish 2 more for dinner at 5pm and I got hungry just now so i had one more

[molten oasis]

i dont either

[dull ibex]

im a big beef and chicken guy if its cooked right

[solid frigate]

moment when the word Umai actually has a sad meaning

[forest arrow]

I’m softboiling some eggs to my ramen rn

[dull ibex]

the other day I ate chicken skewers

very good with a sauce

[molten oasis]

https://tenor.com/view/rengoku-kyojuro-eat-umai-hashira-demon-slayer-gif-21548270

[dull ibex]

I sprinkled on a tiny bit more salt

[molten oasis]

mid anime, beyond the fight scenes

[dull ibex]

it was heaven tbh

[molten oasis]

cuz thats all i watch it for

[dull ibex]

dude we need the switch 2

[solid frigate]

well thats is true,i still enjoy it

||Pls don't fuck up Zenitsu vs Kaigaku fight scene||

[dull ibex]

I want portable fallout 4

[molten oasis]

they probably wont but who knows

[forest arrow]

Nah I’m ready for that

[molten oasis]

i'd love a switch console that isnt outdated

[dull ibex]

compared to what.

[molten oasis]

oh wait, they probably will make it outdated again

[dull ibex]

because the switch is a high end device for 2017

[solid frigate]

its nintendo

what do you expect

[dull ibex]

its a mobile device guys.

[molten oasis]

the xbox 1

[dull ibex]

the switch 2 is going to be better then the steam deck

[molten oasis]

i hope so

[dull ibex]

do you consider that outdated atp?

[solid frigate]

i mean hopefully

[dull ibex]

we have some of the specs from a nvidia leak iirc

[molten oasis]

the xbox 1? yea for sure lol

[dull ibex]

no the steamdeck do you consider that outdated

[molten oasis]

idk i havent used one i wouldn't know

or looked at its specs, it seems like a strong console

[dull ibex]

the steamdeck is a lot less powerful then the ps5 or xbox series x

don't expect that level of power

[molten oasis]

nah im gonna, because im coping

[dull ibex]

fun fact the switch isnt outdated for its year

phones and other mobile devices were NOT doing what it could do

[molten oasis]

i'd like to play pokemon at more than 2 frames a second

[dull ibex]

ok you need the shift the blame here

[timber falcon]

What’s happening

[dull ibex]

that is entirely on gamefreak genuinely

[forest arrow]

That’s the games fault

[molten oasis]

fair enough

[dull ibex]

every pokemon game besides gen 3 and possibly 5 run like garbage

[timber falcon]

Steam, gamefreak?

[dull ibex]

im comparing the switch 2 to the steam deck

[molten oasis]

did its specs get leaked?

[dull ibex]

yeah

[molten oasis]

neat

[dull ibex]

but obviously grain of salt

[timber falcon]

There’s a new switch on the way ? :0

[dull ibex]

leaks can be false but this a 90% guarentee from me

[molten oasis]

yea, its been like, a thing for a while just hasn't been officially revealed

[solid frigate]

i do not wanna trust leaks man

[molten oasis]

im betting game awards if anything

if we get an announcement this year

[solid frigate]

wait how did you not notice it-

[forest arrow]

Yeah switch 2 has been a thing for a little just not fully announced

[dull ibex]

if it helps the specs are really promising if true and it leaked from nvidia themselves

[timber falcon]

Have I been living under a rock, how do they even make a new one

[dull ibex]

its going to be above ps4 at worst in handheld

[molten oasis]

remember when the loyal three got leaked lol

[forest arrow]

That’s spicy

[dull ibex]

above steam deck for sure

[foggy lodge]

what which leaks

[solid frigate]

Good cuz i don't want to be bitch around by someone from my neighbourhood say that

[dull ibex]

I dont know the source of the switch 2 leaks to be honest

[molten oasis]

[dull ibex]

Like I don't know who leaked it

the people I copied it from probably do

[molten oasis]

i hope so

i'd like a strong handheld console

[timber falcon]

Shouldn’t it be the switch 360 or something

[dull ibex]

but I dont really know if knowing what redditor leaked nvidia's plans is useful to you

[molten oasis]

that compares to a ps4 at worst

[dull ibex]

way better at worse

[molten oasis]

not funny, didn't laugh

[dull ibex]

even if it was comparable in raw horsepower

the switch will be capable of the newest upscaling which is great

and better raytracing and shit

[molten oasis]

hopefully

[dull ibex]

because its ALOT more modern

[timber falcon]

I haven’t made a joke in so long though

[dull ibex]

think about it this way because the switch is more modern it can do SO MUCH more then the xbox 360

[molten oasis]

i also think switch 2 makes more sense, xbox was doing its own thing

[dull ibex]

even if it was only a little bit better (its not only a bit better)

[molten oasis]

360, then to one, then to series

[forest arrow]

Pc master race

[molten oasis]

im looking at buying an xbox rn

[dull ibex]

we're also going to get cod on it

like the new one in 2025

[molten oasis]

so apex isnt fucking miserable

cheaters, everywhere

[dull ibex]

and we know this because they have a contract

[molten oasis]

with nintendo?

[dull ibex]

microsoft and nintendo have a deal in place to get the newest cod on nintendo hardware

[molten oasis]

oh wait right doesn't microsoft own, yea yea i forgot about that

[dull ibex]

yeah activision is owned by microsoft now

[molten oasis]

they got activision and blizzard right? or just activision

[dull ibex]

they're the same company

[molten oasis]

they are?

[dull ibex]

I call it actiblizz

[molten oasis]

oh, ic

[dull ibex]
