im what?
Zuckerberg!
You gonna help me with that 50k down payment? Rich monke
Explains why u got money in ur name
Your husband got it, he's won enough championships
He spends all his money on drugs like Iron and Calcium and Carbos 😭
He just like me fr - poor
4-2, not bad for first tournament
everytime i play cart im reminded how much fun it is
havent played since getting to mball a weekish ago
its also funny in this tournament dude with mighthyena in team is 6-0

i have to shiny hunt for my next star
he wat
man
yeah that was rough
oh btw tofu my bad during our debate I completely misread something you wrote
and looked like a jackass so im sorry
wat did u misread
moment
W Illuteraterudoxoxjaja
I read this as Red is arguing Linkin Park is basically still the same without Chester
dox? mods get him
gg
did it delete it ?
I misread "red is basically arguing that linkin park is still linkin park without chester" as you saying you said i said they were the same
you literally didn't misquote me lmao
I re-read it and felt like a dick lmao
anyways yeah sneasler I dig it
shiny hunt what?
Lol
Its fine
I told you not to misrepresent me while misrepresenting you
Anywyas shiny hunting Galvantula again
thats hilarious
I want a marked one
i also need to do Gengar
dire claw is so dumb
My opinion of the move hasn’t really changed
The inconsistency, despite being an overall value-adding move due to the by-product nature and having no drawback by just clicking it
Not something one should lean on for status but overall ++
but ive had many games where it just doesnt trigger
do you or anyone wanna watch cart or SD?
uh i can do so for a bit, might be a bit quiet
Gm Tofu hope youre well
hoi Throw
is in my first tournament top 6 decent ranking? (46-50 people)

hi tofu
hi emma
I am having an awesome time not playjng Pokemon
LOL
Gonna probably just chill and watch Baltimore while shiny hunting or playing Ace Attorney
moment
Tofu i have question what location do you choose when registering for global challenge ?
Damn so i guess location does matter i tried set it to asia and it doesn't let me to register but when i tried set it too NA it finally let me register
It does
Grand Challenge is not for Asians
Ah okay fair enough then oh well at least i prolly only go for 3 battle and claim the reward
Hey all I’m trying to remember the name of this competitive player that Wolfe mentioned in a video, been searching for a while but I can't seem to find the video so maybe it wasn't Wolfe but someone else. But anyway they said that this person always used a max HP max spdef Tyranitar in their doubles teams and became well known for it, and people would like clap and cheer whenever they sent the Tyranitar out because they recognized it, and it was the same build every time. Anyone know who I’m talking about?
hi i got off psyspam i needed palette cleanser
They hating frfr
how is everyone today?
You mean Lentar?
Oh dear what hapoened
Lol
dude that amoonguss takes an eforce in terrain LMAO
That's exactly it! Thanks a ton
lmao
ontop of that im slotted this week for team cananda tryouts
yippie
Get that shit my boy
think i found my gc team
Already got mine
When is GC again?
https://pokepast.es/e264125bd8e69a3d
Evs are kinda random except chomp who outspeeds max modest dengo by 1
next weekend
Ah
I got my team for it, went normal for this one lol
The weird team would've been like
Centered around Specs Kilowattrell 
I saw it once
Basically Rajan's Indy team but Kilowattrell
So next GC it's either that or Upper Hand Dnite stuff depending on like
What Reg it is
yea ill cross that bride wen it comes up haha upper hand dnite sounds insane tho lol

I legit tried to make Infernape work with that
Problem is even with min Atk, Infernape still does 1/3 to Dnite 
Riolu 🤭
Honestly I will play Psych Up Lugia for a GC in Reg G 
Just to piss people off
I even got connections with a guy who mained that shit all of Reg G, I can get advice 
Yo, I’m making a competitive Cofagrigus team for Gen 8 and I want some advice
So far I have Cofagrigus and Kyurem-Black
poor infernape
we got a better ape and a monkey jus outshining it

i really hate tatsudozo is so popular
lugia gets psych up?
Why are you giving her ideas
Yes I faced an amuk smeargle with it and it was hell 😭
Was so beefy naturally couldn’t take care of it fast enough
Psych up mental herb go brrr
Yeah
Did you not see the Smeargle Muk teams of Reg G?
The idea was already there 
Anybody have a favorite pokemon thats getting some proper attention this regulation 👀
frosmoth for me ngl its a little random but ice scales is such a cool ability

Watch a replay of a Pokémon battle between unununahh and dex2299! Format: [Gen 9] VGC 2024 Reg H; Date: Sep 13, 2024
I'm saying I'm the horse
Had an old lady stare into my soul just now as I am walking to break room, that's nice
Also happy birthday Ogerpon

Based gif
Your mom
Sneasler is scary
Your dad
I heard that people just build unburden sneasler super bulky now
It can be bulky, but also it's just pretty frail so
Once again
Sash Poison Touch is the way imo
yea it can be really good u jus gta position it well. i jus had to play really well after volc went down for me t1 i did not think theyd brave bird off rip or even have it thats on me
Ah mb
all good, jus we have channels for that
What you disagree?
It works fucking flawlessly when I used it vs Unburden
Most the time poisons proc from Dire Claw vs the Poison Touch anyways so it's not like it's really screwing me over when I need to put em to sleep
i think its pretty easy to jus have a terrain setter like indeedee or rilla and slap that seed on it and get that immediate speed which seemingly all successful sneasler teams have 1 or the other atm. i think sash posion touch is an ok alternative but idk bout it doing enough before it goes down
unburden set has stuff designated to keep it alive and set it itself up whether thru sp def or def seed boost, follow me fake out support and a defensive tera. it just gives it more flexibility as a mon
outspeeding p much everything in tw is awesome
It does
That's basically what a lot of people do
Hell rn Unburden has went back up, but it's went with like
Seed Unburden on a few and then quite a bit don't do setup and go all out offense with Sash Unburden which I fucking hate
like idk theres so many benefits to unburden imo, its much more threatening. maybe not 1v1 but in general
But no both are pretty viable cuz like with Poison Touch, there's some things rn that don't like to be set on a timer
i think sash is more exploitable is all. sure that sounds good but id rather my sneasler jus pick up 1-2hkos after sding

idt sash is bad either but u originally said its the way to go and that is wat i disagree w/ most haha
Plus I see a lot of Sneasler Dragapult with stuff like Rilla and redirection which like
If you have these things protecting Sneasler and Pult with Fake Out or Follow Me, you can also just attack
Fair
arent those also unburden grassy seed?
usually yea lol
Yeah it just depends on preference rn honestly
i feel like part of its strength is its unburden activation on t1 is pressured if they lead pult and sneasler
idk i havent played w/ that team im liking the variation im using rn
prim def the least brought but its good wen i need it
Like honestly I knew people when Sash Poison Touch was THE main set this Reg that liked Unburden more so like it's odd really
Hell Red hit me with a Volc that could outspeed Pult at +1 and I was like the weird fuck, but then someone I talked to was like "oh people are doing that" and I'm like what
Apparently rn Volc players are just trying to outspeed each other
dude wat? ppl have done that w/ volc since series 1
u want to be able to outspeed something like pult at +1 thats like a benchmark
nd idk idt ive seen much poison touch/sash sneasler, its def around but unburden has always felt much more common
I just haven't fought that like literally once until Red did it lmao
Apparently it was the way during like middle of last month but like
It's been a toss up
jus from playing set up volc in the past ik that being one of the speed marks u wanted to hit cuz basically u outspeed pult at +1 u outspeed everything (barring tw and tr yada yada)
see like i get it but only so much, u can only go so fast b4 comprimising damage calcs offensively and defensively. the speed makes things less worth. sure u got quiver dance up first like cool
i think they can matter but u gta really decide if the other things are worth as trade offs and for set up volc i jus dont see it past a certain point
then it defeats the purpose of being a set up guy haha

50ish games not terrible
Being tailwind levels of speed is so good tho
If you don’t have anything for immediate procing of unburden then I understand the poison touch
Because it’s more consistent
But otherwise it’s like
Damn
Go faaaaaaast
Yeah everyone is saying Unburden now in other servers wtf
This shit basically flipped almost overnight for me tf happened
Though same time, they've said Poison Touch also valid so 🤷♂️
Shut up idiot
Get slept twice moron
Once for each of your parents I slept with 🖕
Judging by your vibe that's nothing
Baltimore is this weekend and it's time to preview the event! SierraDawn is joined by Joseph Ugarte and Brady Smith to talk about how the new invitations can change the outlook of the season, the meta going into the event, and make some predictions on what we think will happen (and which Pokemon are on fraud watch!)
Joseph's Twitter || https://...
This team is the one
Wow just like you
🤨🏳️🌈❓
I don't talk to losers sorry
Do y’all think WG TW is viable for Peliper?
Why 
bc of what u said omw to work this morning
Actually how does that make me gay lmao
bc u didnt say no the first time i said it
no
hi keanu
You crack somethinggg?
Dengo harc a9 was 100% correct
And then I have the rillaprima sneasler stuff
I know at the minimum sneasler is correct
Rilla and Prima have been doing fine but they may not stay
Sweet I’m glad it’s been working (:
I really can’t believe somebody beat me to winning a tournament with a mono bug team but I’m excited for them! They did what I couldn’t do and figured out the right bug to help with trick room teams, doggone venonat! hopefully that can inspire other trainers that there’s more to competitive battling than just building teams with the same ole meta mons
Silly tofu
Hi
Day early buddy
I just imagine Tofu sitting in a tent waiting for Baltimore like people would when new COD release
Hello everyone
Tera grass is for spore from amongus
@rustic mountain
Now we wait lmao
But safety glasses exists
Well you don't have to tera, but you are stuck with your item
I guess tera grass is dozo answer too for inci
Whims being something for Dozo for like Encore I guess, but Incin runs Grass tera for spore immunity + resistance to Water and Ground. Sometimes you wanna run other items on Incin like Sitrus or AV depending on team, so it can actually be useful
im using grass + goggles rn :3
Question
How does one make monkey with username
im using sneasler rn..
gimme it.... :(
1 sec i can looki
I've used Goggles with Dragon and Ghost
Also Emma you want a Sneasler build?
no I want her to give me a shiny sneasler
I have like 4 teams with it rn lol
Thats why im asking ramdom.ass questioms
E33
Do you also like gambling 
do you have any bunnies
Oh is it like Alt + whatever on a keyboard?
But i guess. I need throw rillaboom sneasler combo away from my team 
LOL
baboon is basiically monkey :3
dude
Hehehehehehehehehehehehe monkey
and hare is basically bunny :3
Baboons are included in monkey stuff
yeah ur theh ceo of being ababoon
I also decree that Kingambit is a certified monkey
Don't ask 
Its funny that my team has no trouble other meta mons except tatsudozo
@merry summit what if you found me a porygon2 with a cute mark
erm what i f u caught these hands rn 
Oh no in Reg C I had a rental named Monkey with no monkeys on the team but Kingambit was there so I was like "aight Kingambit is a monkey"
???????????????
now why would u do that ;(
of all POKEMON
idk why would u change ur team like 100 times 
Hey we take initiative ok
because I have to adapt to meta
My rillaboom is funny enough named Monke
Why don't you adapt to these hands
As it should be
meta sucks just use the funny mons
@dull ibex i listened to a live performance of Given Up
by Emily
It feels flattee
Oh God is this Linkin Park again?
True to the original but flatter
I agree she is just okay on given up imo
So it's a different band?
Shes going to do better on songs wittten for her
This seems like a preferential topic because I can see people are talking about non-meta stuff again
I really like emptiness Machine personally
Nah I respect your take
Arguing with Red is funny
I'm not gonna argue 🙂
i love it
Great
Let's see
What can we argue with Red about today
That’s my saturday ruined ig
emptiness machine is such a good song
Oh
Doom Eternal is bad
Tofu can you ban monke yet?
Uh
This seems bannable
Depends on how he feels about Ori
Never played Ori
Thank God
Actually I've never played Doom Eternal either lol
Emptiness Machine feels
Actually I've never seen anything about Ori, what's it about?
Like its ok
But yeah I think Chester's raw emotion can't be matched
no never
I was gonna say
But he was Also seriously seriously depressed
Maybe it's good she doesn't sound in pain like he did
but the new girl holds the fort down okay
I don't think I can like her as much as Chester
But it also means I don’t think I can listen to them the same
I was kinda hoping
But it feels too off
Like
Oh
Tofu what's Ori about
That's totallh
I have brand attachment so I'll give the album a go
Listening to new Emily sing LP feels like its “just music”
If I dont like it maybe it's not for me anymore
Idk how else to word it
It feels like one of those uh
Corporate pop rock pump outs
I strongly feel like Chester is one of the best front men ever
Look it up, its pretty and fun
Later linkin park in general does
Fuck y'all, imma go listen to Kendrick diss more people again 
I think alot of one more light did too
I hate the idea I'm supposed to like it because Chester is dead
Does it cost money is my question
One More Light made me dissociate so I’m inclined to disagree
Ori is usually dirt cheap
Castle of Glass is a corporate pump out cause it was for a game ad
Sadly I'm one of the people who only really likes metal and metal adjacent linkin park
Oh good thing Ori is cheap, I just bought Astro Bot 
I don't like minutes to midnight that much
I’m fine with some basic bitch ahh songs cause who doesn’t, just gotta find what hits or not depending
Its like
if BMTH no longer had Oli Sykes its a different band
https://pokepast.es/b4794502ef248c8b i made variation of my rank 6 team with more meta fitting, last spot was farigiraf to setup trickroom to help team but dozo is problem for whole team, other was drop completely rillaboom and sneasler combo
Replace Basc wjth Overqwil so you can have Haze there u go LOL
im really serious here you know
im not really in mood being messed with
Ok calm down, looks like a simple mistake
but ig im on my own then trying figure out how i can make team deal with tatsudozo
Lol

"replace mon with same mon"
@dull ibex autobots lost Cybertron because they didn’t have Linkin Park
Oh woops meant to write Overqwil
Replace Basc with Overqwil
TRUE
original had floatzel in it for ice spinner terrains away
Dude I know it's meme but unironically love the what I've done ending
and overqwil? isnt that mon straight up bad? 
Up to you
im like curious why overqwil
It's not bad actually lol
it move pool is lackluster to take care of most threats or can just be walled by most meta mons feels like
Linkin park, wrestling, and Nintendo are my longest ongoing fandoms lmao
Haven't tried it then
i actuallly did when tofu suggested it for my azu team
Man I got a read wrong today that felt bad
thats interesting one ngl
It’s really not that unique
You probably would have seen it on ladder at some point
tho i guess itsleft on back till dozo team comes along 
Tofu you should dedicate a post to different balance cores lmao
in 1500 elo surprisingly not
Thats not very much
i mean
I could
but what else would I write about theres like 2 good Balance teams right now
I did think about doing this myself once
Explaining different types of play styles
Just don't feel like I'm good enough yet to do so
Ig that's fair
It's clef balance and uh.
go on
ig im allowed share this but my top 6in tournament isnt that bad ngl
I can't think of the other one
Red I deadass use the other one against you
whats in there? 
Fair
oh clef balance
skillswap unaware volcarona is wow
Tbf you could theoretically cover those two and different picks for different reasons
Like why pult is taken, why gengar, why prim,
pls its the only other balance team there
Oh Tofu the uh
The guy cough cough y'know the guy over the thing said I wrote this coming thing very well which was surprising
uhuh
Electabuzz
imagine if its the mighthyena one
Well apparently I'm a little better writer than I thought 
definitely not
Wow ok
take that sentence’s timing how you will
Toxic Tofu
damn straight
Toxic tofu
tatsudozo obvious answer but gonna see if there is other
i hate all of you
Oh was it not meant for me or
tatsudozo isnt a balance team
No you don't
yes I do
Tatsudozo is not a balance team who said that
tbf i see tr and tw setters in there mostly so hard to see whats balance one 
Tofu I slapped together my own 2 2 2 LMAO
Red you stupid
just because sth has TW/TR doesn’t mean it’s not Balance
@mighty stump but are you proud of me? my first tournament and im rank 6 
Balance is a conceptual playstyle
Good job on Top 8
Keep in mind Rank is a different term and meant more for ladder
thats true
Yeah I'm finally getting why you try to beat (metaphorically) the concept of labels out of me
i guess im improving as a player?
Ah Red got out of VC I was gonna jump in and say fuck you and leave
HAHAHA
Most likely
Definitely not me
If you want to vc I could here
true having both phys/spec wall and phys/spec attacker
Weegeecee?
My discord is a little too crowded right this second
No
@mighty stump are you working rn or
oh? i thoguht balance means that there is balance in defensive and offensive properties of team like balanced out not leaning into one way or other
Ig I could
Yes but it doesn’t necessarily mean having what you describe
It also extends playstyle wise
See Tofu is explaining it way better than I am
Which is like
Why I don't do those posts I talked about
The whole point of Balance is to lean on strong defensive options that have utility to prevent any opposing momentum build-up while maintaining your own neutral board state to position for a board you can offensively punch through an opponent’s team
so it is tyranitar one
that dude i played against did excatly that
darn missed the shot
If you note another team lower down having the same P2 Ursa core
what it was in the screenshot? 
i meant the balance variation
i almost beat the dude with clef balance but i lost cuz i forgot sash on mienshao 
Correct
tho i do think t-tar variation is stronger of two
ngl i was completely locked by ttar team beacuse i couldnt figure out how i would beat team, then i knew if hengo was dead, my hoodra would deal everything else
but wastoo late figure out plan take out hengo
How’s life today?
Idk if it’s a plot twist
I hug randomly

okay overqwil is better than i thought https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2024regh-2201194816-xtq0iqklvxxp2jubwzbywvf4fd3c38zpw , now adjust more proper rain team

I legit had a guy in a tour I hosted drop out cuz they "had a girl at their crib" 
@rustic mountain It has ended
Lmao


Great, lost to stall, because of talonfoame
good thing its 1 guys opinion
i still think unburden is better in most cases

I have a genuine question about one of my pokemon's setups.
So I got an idea that I thought would be offensively evil.
Defiant ability, Defense up speed down nature, max SpD and max Def with the rest in Hp EVs, Metronome held item, Rage Fist Annihilape.
How... how is that offensively?
this sounds terrible
thats basically making DPS's/Attackers as Tanks-
Annihilape @ Metronome
Ability: Defiant
Level: 50
Tera Type: Fighting
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Def / 252 SpD
Relaxed Nature
- Rage Fist
several things wrong with this
beat up is just better for rage fast offensively
if the joke is that its tanky, you get more benefit out of max hp
metronome is a bad item
My thought process was
for max benefits you need 5 turns, vgc is far too fast for this
Rage Fist gets stronger the moe hits it takes
Boosted defensive stats makes it eat hits easier
Metronome boosts attacks the more consecutively it's used
Defiant raisess attack 2 stages when any other stats are lowered
ok beat up is far better for this though
yeah but
Attack Stages are Scaled under Raw Attack Stat
your idea isnt very good
So basically normally you need +1 to kill something
you need +2 to OHKO
and it hard walled by Normal Types
there is so much more wrong with this
investing in both defenses to their max is literally never good
also what would the rest of the move set be?
how do you support this annihillape
Annihilape @ Leftovers
Ability: Defiant
Level: 50
Tera Type: Grass
EVs: 252 HP / 84 Atk / 12 Def / 52 SpD / 108 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Drain Punch
- Rage Fist
- Bulk Up
- Protect
Just use this if you want your Ape to be tanky and actually Outspeed something under TW
yes i still use Tera Grass
E A T N O W
Hey, noob here with a potentially dumb question. I was curious about special defense and regular defense, and how to decide which is more important for a pokemon if I'm trying to optimize the stats? Obviously sometimes you'd wanna focus 2 other stats and ignore both, but say I want to EV train/nature a defensive stat, how do I know which one to pick? Should I base it on the moves from super effective types against my pokemon? And if I could be hit by either physical or special attacks equally often, do you think it's better to focus whichever one is lacking or to boost the higher one?
Usually HP is the Go to Stat for Bbulk
but Defense and Special Defense are like Bonus can be Optimised with the HP Stat
I see I see, if you wanted to do both HP and a defensive stat how would you go about deciding between special/regular?
For Physical Damage,They Calculate from HP+Physical Defense
for Special Damage,Its the same but from Special Defense Stat
Ice
Own Tempo, Ice Body, Sturdy (Hidden)
95/117/184/44/46/28
514
Avalugg-Hisui
for Example,Avalugg usually tanks some Decent Powered Physical Attack Earthquake
But gets Nuked by Special Moves Like Earth Power
Putting in lacking is a safe bet
fair
So take into account certain moves first, but otherwise make up the lacking one?
yea basically, if you are still confused you can use a Pokemon Calculator
Okidoke, thanks for the help gamers
The super hero landing joke makes me really cringe now
non 0 speed shiny popplio acquired
wound up being female too
Nice
too late to build the team out now in game will another night i guess 
Got a tournament?
Gc is tomorow?
no?
Oh yeah 20th
next weekend yea
Fuck the gc I’m skipping
fair
I don’t think I have time for 45 games anyways
idk how much time ill even have to play it
but i wanna atleast get some games in
Good luck
thx lol
I’ll play if they give out backpacks
like in game backpacks?
Yeah
thats all itd take? 
I was hoping they would give us shiny koraidon and Miraidon by now
I’m guessing that’s way later
prolly in 2-3 months
I wonder then will they do another competition with shiny legendary as reward like shiny galarian bird
I want shiny pao and chi yu
Shiny ruins seem nicer
I mean if they do makes competition with the blue fish as reward i def will join it no question asked
I cooked
I thought you were on break

PFFFT

Ayo is that a new blogpost from Monke in #self_promotion before Baltimore 👀
Nope doesn’t seem so
I dont see anything
Has Baltimore stream started or are they doing the usual R3 start
i think they're starting with round 2 nowadays since regionals are only 8 rounds day 1 now
I'm gonna stuff your pillows with Legos
The stream starts in 4 minutes
Wait stream starting now?
Perfect, I’m on my way home
Wow I really posted my shit in the nick of time huh
Less gooo
Morning babe

#ThankYouAldrichYan
I would love that omgggg
Thanks Dillon
GL Baltimore peeps!
Its also non powdery, which is my problem with a lot of oud based scents
Its difficult to find a light yet woody perfume which doesn’t have a piercing mineral scent
This really was good
Yeah i often have that problem with some of mine, makes me break out
It starts wood and warm, then becomes chocolatey/coffee and ends with a very woody finish
PLUS refills are done at 60% off of the original price
😩
We love that, wow thats such a great deal
Its not powdery imo but yea
This does however mean I have to eat ice soup for the following week
was it worth it? yes
Wait is the baltimore regional use reg H ruleset or does it use reg G ruleset ?
Reg H
lemme yoink
Oh okay i thought it use reg G so that's just recap then
Well i’m exaggerating but between this and the new watch I got
I got a casio moonphase watch
been looking for one for forewvr
sub 100 usd too which is great since they dont make the damn model no more
Nice, my brother loves collecting watches haha and yeah I caught the exaggeration, I was too lol
Good luck anyone in Baltimore
Wonder what our R2 match is gonna be
That’s clean
RILLABOOM FUCKIN EATING
Surprised Arch ain't higher
Yeah where's Bloodmoon actually lol
Gambit up there too
Bloodmoon not being above normal is crazy
Ghold was a given we knew it’d be up there
Cause it got accounted for
Rilla is just the best allrounder at the moment
incredible value
Sneaslers doing really well rn
Rilla best mon in the format imo
Still think Primarina is super overrated
Sneasler been here bruh
Both unburden and poison touch
Desperate for coverage type format
Sneasler but no indeedee? 🤔
Yeah she’s good but top 3 is wild
All praise the Sneasler
Sneasler + monke?
My husband is down to 24% 😭
Unburden Sneasler gives you a justification for no tailwind
Bro looking for spare change rn
Unburden Sneasler forced to run Throat Chop or get walled by Gholdengo or can’t run Fake Out unless you’re not running Unburden
Haven't been playing vgc lately. Been nuzlocking hard pokemon games
So I've been out of it
Huh blood moon ursa is not on top 12 that surprising
Cybertron explained why
Sturdy Arch?
You haven’t seen it?
A thought occurred recently. Isn't TCG a game where the opponents need to communicate sometimes? Unlike VGC
We’re watching Jeudy
What if there's a language barrier? Translators are used?
Kian vs Jeudy
Nice
They do have translators yes
Or should
I know in interviews they do
I guess I'll watch this game and take a nap. I wanted to sleep in today
GIVE US THAT JEUDY SAUCE BABY
@dull ibex wake up bitch
Oh a weather war?
This beat damn
jumpluff is crazy
We keep it PG here
torkoal gets fissure?
This team is something
That was not even
Get your mind out the gutter
MO RAIN
Man Jeudy looking good today
Haha
Fighting a weather war is always tough. The way I've always approached it is to lead with my setter some games and other times I dont
I'm pretty sure in game 1 of weather wars I typically don't lead with my weather setter
Jeudy got r1
Neat, Kian is using a similar Kingambit to me
I have question if i use earthquake on tera stellar excadrill and if i click high horspower on next turn will it still be boosted ?
No, its once per type
Assurance could be nice
Assurance is good
Ah damn good to know never know this because i only use tera stellar on raid well ground tera excadrill then
Sucker Punch crit would've won it. Close game.
Damn Joshua is fucking killing it
2-0 so far
Has Kian missed a Sleep Powder?
Don’t think so
Unfortunate protect from Kian
its his only play and hope for choke
Good set
GG
Emma, Jeudy looks good today
Excuse me?
yeah
How he have a that? Yeah idk if I can say that 
he just looks rly masc nowww
Ah
and not like a cute twink he did when i saw him @ knox and orlando lmao
I mean wasn't he wearing a maid outfit for one of those anyways
Why is my phone dying within 1 minute after hitting 15%? That ain't right
How's Yotam doing rn, anyone got eyes on him?
5 matches still active
Yotam is 1-1
I looked over that mfer like 10 times bruh
R3 is up
@mighty stump there's a muthafuckin Cinderace
@craggy dagger
guess he dont have typhlosion or somthing...
but atleast bring a talon or somthing
he is not running tsudonzo... not with the prima...
Ping
Hope he loses cause itll be funny
And he’s already gotten his hariyama one tapped 😭
Matt’s team looks cute (hariyama and Poltchageist)
Enemy is just coach spam
LMAO
Actually Cinderace could've worked on my team but Sash + Band are taken sadly
BOOM
Court Change would've actually been funny
rip Yama
bye Hariyama
Oh did hari just die on stream?
Did you see
Alright now I know the delay
@summer shore hello
Yeah started talking from the future 😭
Wow im surprised it lived
Yup Tera was needed
I mean its probably heavy investment too, or Dnite is non max invest
+2 dnite fucks up almost everything
Sinistcha is deceiving with its bulk sometimes
Mm game one over
Its deceiving nobody we all know Sinistcha is fat
Yeah but I've seen it live hits that I'm like wtf
what a sweep
might throw the Tsudozo for the heck of it this time
Pick Electabuzz now i guess
Fire
Blaze, Libero (Hidden)
80/116/75/65/75/119
530
Wow decently fast
@mighty stump we should work together and make Court Change Cinderace work now
Tera Blast Gambit
No lol
There is no value this gen
What Screens
RUN IT BACK
Well I mean what all does it do
I explained the value in Gen 8 its not the same
Yeah no answer to drag
That was such a nasty game lmfao
That was just a fucking wipe damn
Can sini bring it back
“unique picks guys!!! meta is boring”
40 minutes for this match
Anyways
I coming coach teams
Rose was laughing lmao
Hariyama is cool
meta = more educated, team advances
Hariyama is kinda cool
Hariyama is really neat wish it would’ve done better
Fake Out + a Guts Mon that does SE to Ursa
Ok fuck you Tofu 
Joshua Robinson 3-0
Wtf bro
That's Kaneoji right?
I was just thinking about Coaching on Dozo
dude
Mechanics trivia! Dire Claw is a move that has a 50% chance to inflict paralysis, sleep, or poison on its target. If Dire Claw is used into a Vital Spirit Electabuzz, what is the chance that Dire Claw will inflict poison?
1/6
I believe it's the same as the other effects actually
Brady Smith actually showed me how the effects actually all have same chance
6 matches still going'
R4 up
Riley Factura [US] (3-0-0) 9 pts VS Braden Clemens [CA] (3-0-0) 9 pts
that will be interesting
how many times are they going to air this package...
Rev Pawmot from Chuppa wow
ive gone from loving to hating Reg H in less than 24 hours... Got up to 1480 before Yesterday and then got smacked back down to 1120 Today with the exact same team 🙃
Plot Lorb Dengo baby lfg
I’m making the poor decision to join WCOP tryouts
Ah yes
Corviknight Garchomp

Lorb dengo 🤮
Preached this all the way in ye olde regulations
