I might keep the Zama spread so I’d prefer it not getting shared

foggy lodge
rustic mountain
#

bold geode
#

Damn

bold geode
#

Gotta be Tobey Maguire

rustic mountain
#

toby maguire for me but tom holland has been pretty solid

mint void
#

All are good ngl

bold geode
#

Tom Holland is a solid Spider-Man

spiral ridge
bold geode
#

Andrew Garfield just got fucked over by the writing

spiral ridge

#

he was taking nobodys shit

bold geode
rustic mountain
spiral ridge
#

the other one i ahve to dm the thumbnail is too graphic

I saw somewhere that Andrew is Spiderman, Tobey is Peter and Tom is a hybrid

bold geode
spiral ridge
#

mhm :)

bold geode
#

Yeah shit cold

spiral ridge
#

iut was cus his identity was publicly revealed as part of a superhero goverment yada yada movement

bold geode
#

Instead of that Green Goblin just being a fuckin NY tweaker

rustic mountain
#

yea he def got done dirty

spiral ridge
#

man when i played spiderman PS4 i didnt know who the scarlet spider was but used his skin cus how cool it is
now knowing who he is its so fucking sad man

rustic mountain
#

wasnt really given a fair shot

spiral ridge
#

like he deserves so much better

bold geode
#

Like Willem Dafoe was fuckin iconic and then we got that

rustic mountain
#

lmao

#

he really killed that shit

bold geode
#

Actually I wish that Venom and Tom Holland collabed

#

Like the Tom Hardy one

rustic mountain
#

eh idk if id want that

bold geode
#

I mean almost could've happened with that whole ordeal of being pulled thru multiverse

#

I'm actually happy for that movie cuz it actually sorta redeemed Garfield

rustic mountain
#

doesnt necessarily mean its needed/good

bold geode
#

Fuck it Iron Man and Batman NOW

rustic mountain
#

Bruh if both the universes did a crossover fuckin WW3 would probably start

foggy lodge
#

bold geode
#

Though tbh
Hot take I gotta agree with Gabriel Iglesias on Batman

mint void
#

Hes a different kinda dude compared to the movies.
He just asspulls the perfect prep all the time.

bold geode
#

Batman is not the greatest superhero
He's the creepiest

balmy glen

All good. I only drink on rare occasions now. 😄

#

thanks for offer tho hope yall have funcelebrating

balmy glen
#

what tournament

cyan smelt
#

Wish I lived somewhere where there were more frequent tournaments

lofty tartan
#

I mean Toronto isn't near me. It's like 500 miles away. Literally another country and passport was an added expense arkeknine

cyan smelt
#

Yeah but Europe, south America and north America are so far away for me, expensive and long plane journeys

lofty tartan
#

For sure. I'm not doubting it. Just I'm not geographically fortunate either. There's no Regionals near my state like ever. TCPI hates New England.

#

Our first local that yielded points was last weekend.

cyan smelt
#

Gamefreak hates Oceania more, they got rid of Melbourne regional and ocic so there's only two regionals for Oceania

lofty tartan
#

I was not aware it was a contest arkeknine

They make a ton of player unfriendly decisions and basically see no consequence or impact because people gonna consume pokemon xD

cyan smelt
#

I really need to see if there's any locals I can attend but somehow I doubt it

lofty tartan
#

Definitely check

#

If there aren't, you can make it happen

#

I went and got my pokemon professor certification to help get us events where we had none

chrome knot
cyan smelt
#

Ok I am in the ausvgc discord so maybe they do online tournaments

chrome knot
#

use event locator

lofty tartan
#

Yeah I checked the locator religiously for awhile and finally saw a local shop holding events that weren't CP-payouts

#

They had one judge and needed more

cyan smelt
#

That's us only

chrome knot
#

im canadian

cyan smelt
#

Oh wait yeah it works nvm

lofty tartan
#

Lmfao

chrome knot
#

en-us would be the language lol

lofty tartan
#

I was gonna say....

cyan smelt
#

I can't tell if these are tcg or vgc

lofty tartan
#

You can filter by tcg or vgc

#

But the events themselves will specify if you look closely

cyan smelt
#

Ok yay they have local vgc events

cyan smelt
gentle cragBOT
lofty tartan
#

Always use event locator man.

cyan smelt
#

Bookmarking this

#

I can use this to get more irl vgc experience

cyan smelt
#

i've only played it once but i don't think i like that weezing caly-s team

shadow wind
#

Kalos you really are a lurker on Showdown

cyan smelt
#

i'm too afraid to ladder atm

balmy glen
#

don’t ladder I’m starting to ladder ima steal ur elo

#

:p

cyan smelt
#

what elo lmao

shadow wind
#

If I had a nickel for every time I saw “Kal0sUnleashed has joined” I’d have like 7 nickels

balmy glen
#

The amount of times I just win a room tour on a random alt I spammed my keyboard with is prob like 500+ atp

cyan smelt
#

even though according to my parsrs i've won my last 5 i'm still afraid to ladder

shadow wind
#

Keanu what kinda team are you using to ladder?

#

Seems a bit strong for a gym leader

#

Wait so is it a tournament or a gym challenge thing?

balmy glen
shadow wind
#

That’s what I thought but I just needed to make sure

#

Ah ok

#

Zama is a cool guy I can’t lie

#

I don’t get running wide guard though

#

I feel like the ID press with Heavy slam set works way better

#

I mean it has Calyrex shadow

#

I don’t think it can be a bad team for doubles

cyan smelt
#

what accuracy does precipice blades have compared to draco

balmy glen
#

85

cyan smelt
#

draco is 90 right

balmy glen
#

ye

molten oasis
#

precimiss blades

shadow wind
cyan smelt
#

all i know is it misses when you need it to hit

molten oasis
#

yep

shadow wind
#

😞😞

#

But when it does hit

#

It’s pretty epic

#

Feels like Christmas when you hit 2 mons weak to Ground

#

Mostly because it always misses one of em

cyan smelt
#

must feel good to make miraidon resort to draco or dazzling gleam

shadow wind
#

Yup

#

And Tera fire eats dgleams

#

And then Flutter eats Draco’s

cyan smelt
#

my matchup stats say i struggle against groudon and caly-i the most

next stump
#

good morning everyone

next stump
cyan smelt
#

skeledirge, rilla, torn, urshifu, chien pao, zama

next stump
#

are you iron defense or wide guard

cyan smelt
#

wide guard

next stump
#

what’s your urshifu item and tera?

cyan smelt
#

mystic water and grass, and now i'm losing against miraidon

next stump
#

in the CIR matchup Id imagine they’re bringing Bolt, CIR, Pelipper if they have it, and one other

#

I used to like tera ghost incin in the matchup as the CIR player to get around body pressure and burn them

cyan smelt
#

haven't played CIR, mostly just miraidon

next stump
#

Skeledirge is a tough bring because in a vacuum it is nice into CIR but you have to deal with Urshifu-R

cyan smelt
#

i have it for dozo

#

3 losses all to miraidon

next stump
#

send some replays

#

it's tough to give direct advice without knowing how the game went

cyan smelt
sour flint
#

isnt it weird that calyrex ice has to set up trick room for himself? like hes the sweeper no? isnt that like really uncommon to do or just kinda bad?

next stump
#

normally you're right, but you're so bulky and usually your team has some way to protect caly while its clicking TR

#

you also have the benefit of being able to immediately attack once trick room is up, whereas sometimes you need to worry about switching something in

sour flint
#

ohh okay

cyan smelt
#

i do love using torn shifu

sour flint
cyan smelt
#

i don't like the caly s weezing team

foggy lodge
#

It does?

#

I hunted a 0 speed iv Calyrex did i just lose my time lol

next stump
#

yes

foggy lodge
#

I don't think it does tbh

#

This is how my Calyrex's stats look

IMG_20241208_105827.jpg IMG_20241208_105938.jpg
#

And the Glastrier that is fused to is 31 speed

next stump
#

you’re correct! I was confused remembering that you fight calyrex ice and not just glastrier on top of that mountain

foggy lodge
#

Ohhh ok ahaha

cyan smelt
#

yeah i give up on reg g

balmy glen
#

LMAO

#

the reg hasn’t even started yet

cyan smelt
#

if it's gonna be caly-s and tr flutter i just can't do it

next stump
#

play the best of 3 OTS format

#

best of 1 fucking sucks

chrome knot
#

it takes from the onion guy

chrome knot
#

fusions will take the EVs/IVs of the more important one so calyrex, kyurem, necrozma

timber raptor
#

What is the acc of a second protect?

knotty mirage
#

30%

#

Just like clicking fissure

cyan smelt
#

will my team do better in bo3 than bo1

next stump
#

it's not about that

#

it's about not dealing with bullshit that comes with the bo1 format

#

you can adjust to cheese and you also know whats coming with OTS

cyan smelt
#

if i want to irl stuff i suppose i should do bo3

#

how do i put the bo3 replays into parsrs, do i just paste the bo3 replays

chrome knot
#

paste replays separately 1 by 1

cyan smelt
#

ty

timber raptor
#

What are the best options for restricted pokemon?

cyan smelt
#

the calys and miraidon, then zamazenta, groudon and kyogre a tier below

timber raptor
#

thx

chrome knot
#

koraidon > groudon

timber raptor
stuck pine
#

how do i get caly? in pokemon violet?

timber raptor
stuck pine
#

oh

#

so i need to buy pokemon shield ok ok

next stump
#

yes, and the DLC unfortunately

#

it's a $90 pokemon lol

stuck pine
#

oh god

cyan smelt
#

Is caly s as predominant in bo3

timber raptor
#

You could potentially get it from a trade, if you knew someone who didn't care for it

next stump
#

yes it's still strong in bo3

cyan smelt
#

Can't escape it then, maybe it's inevitable that I have to use it then but I bet if I use it suddenly everyone will have counters to it

bold geode
foggy lodge
#

If you want to play in tournaments i think you should be aware of atleast the top 7 restricteds

#

Both Calyrex, Koraidon, Miraidon, Terapagos, Zamazenta and Kyogre

I think Zacian, Lunala and Groudon are still good but they are way more niche than the other 7

what time does the global challenge end in EST today?

Incredibly cringe of GF to put the horses in SV but not Calyrex. Such a money grab.

At least u get kubfu.

allows for minimum speed on calyrex ice rider

which is optimal for trick room

Gotcha so trick room calyrex

yea

might just say fuck it and run adamant caly ice

What are good websites to get EV spread ideas 9r just copy one to start with? Cba to sweat calcs for fun teams that Im nit.us8ng for tourneys

dense latch
#

munchstats probably

timber raptor
#

Would be nice if we had the option to hyper untrain pokemon

#

Like break calyrex's leg. Should be slow enough for trick room now. (Also think the horses should do speed stats, bc they're the legs? but whatever)

timber raptor
#

When did they make it so you don't get the opportunity to switch on a KO in singles, or maybe that's just part of the 3v3 ruleset

knotty mirage
#

In competitive something like that never exist

#

It's only available single player play

timber raptor
#

Ah so even with 6v6? never played that much pvp

knotty mirage
#

Yeah double and 6v6 it doesn't exist

timber raptor
#

Doubles I never assumed to have it, I just figured that 6v6 (singles) pvp would have the same rules as 6v6 pve

#

Didn't play it enough to find out, so it seems I was mistaken

knotty mirage
#

Of course it is free switch in after a kill gonna be really broken mechanic on pvp

timber raptor
#

That makes sense, but then at the same time not really needed in pve. Just wasn't expecting the inconsistency

knotty mirage
#

In pve it probably just to makes thing easier you can turn it off anyway as far i remember

timber raptor
#

Does make Yawn a pain in the ass tho

bold geode
#

@chrome knot I understand it now
|| I sucked cuz I wasn't paying attention || KekHands

chrome knot
#

aaahhhh

bold geode
#

I think Reg H plus that Rayquaza team I had put me into a bad habit of like
Not paying enough attention to details and it was screwing me over

timber raptor
#

I really don't like missing 90 acc moves. I might need to rethink even using them

#

90% of the time it works every time

shadow wind
#

Nah you gotta use Groudon for those crisp 85% Pblades

timber raptor
#

Been using loaded dice on rayquaza with scale shot. It's nice to get around focus sash and do a pretty solid 100-125 power STAB, but the 10% of the time it does nothing is pretty annoying

#

If I could have both the dice and a lens, I'd be dandy

#

Actually it's 99% even with Wide lens lol

#

Tbf if I wanted consistency, not sure rayquaza is the choice

bold geode
#

Yeah gotta agree there lol

#

Although 90% accuracy moves can come with benefits though, but some players just prefer not to run em

#

But yeah Rayquaza just eeeeehhhh

#

At least not consistent rn
Probably won't be consistent ever in Reg G but rn it's still too up in the air with the meta to really account it

torn parrot
#

what makes him not consistent? not enough good matchups?

timber raptor
#

If I really wanted to stick the acc, I could run furret coil+baton pass to setup, but way not worth it over even the similar blaziken swords dance + protect + baton pass

torn parrot
timber raptor
torn parrot
#

oh i gotcha

bold geode
bold geode
torn parrot
timber raptor
#

I like the blaziken baton pass normally. I can consistently get 2xAtk 2xSpe boosts, only downside is that Rayquaza has to tank a hit, though a number of the time it's a ground type move targetted at blaziken's weakness

#

I might look into 100 acc alternatives, but when it works, it works pretty well

#

VERY weak to trick room lol (2 free setup turns and a lot of speed investment)

#

That might be more of a doubles thing than a singles thing, not sure

bold geode
#

And the team I did a rental with it had Top with WG, Ursh again, and Gholdengo with Water tera to give it a little hell

azure jacinth
#

Fr?

bold geode
#

But also you kinda have to choose whether or not you wanna be weaker to Ice Rider or to Miraidon cuz you can't cover both enough

50 is a crazy number

True

I thought they would reduce the number with the dlcs

mint void
timber raptor
#

How good is Skeledirge against Caly-I, it can at least beat it in trick room, and burn + unaware means it can tank it pretty well

#

Is it just not good enough in other matchups?

spiral ridge

Urshi

#

And idk about trick room

Plus caly runs high horsepower

And caly I runs fire tera almost always

Other than like stalling how much turns it takes me to kill Dozo Ig by ever so slightly lmao

I mean I feel like with people still playing H due to Toronto and/or just not wanting to move from H it's kinda like I don't think we have seen the adjustments just yet

#

Probably won't be too heavy though
Hell for all we know it literally could just be a matter of fuckin skill diffing

balmy glen

Tbh I feel like if I don’t get haxed in San Antonio and people see my adjustment some people might change it up a bit not a lot of peeps have been cooking during reg h but a lot of groups still played with each other

And I just be missing out cuz I didn't really have that lol

idk man

and then they still have one regional to announce, so we'll see if that lines up with my work schedule

Urshifu makes it a lot better but even then

outside of maybe beating Pelipper
