"if u wanna be funny"
me seeing specs infernape: 
252+ SpA Infernape Overheat vs. 156 HP / 4 SpD Zamazenta-Crowned: 156-186 (83.4 - 99.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
I rest my case
fuck
the fact it can never ko is crazy
It actually gets closer than I thought tho tbh
u need sun/specs just to get that
haha
way closer then i thought
Do I need to go Ghost or do I shoot for Tera Fire?
ghost
for infernape? nothing
Tera gets it
lmaa
If I go Scarf actually lmao
I can creep Adamant Scarf Shifu AND live a Tera Normal E Speed from max attack Adamant Entei 
Ah nvm I forgot about SoR 
Eh fuck it
What's a Chien Pao

Fitting cuz no sober person would run this
i think
if u wann run scarf go ghost no?
if not ur just gonna get FO
or just run cloak or protect or something something
can u coach a mon that protect?
ie. CIR protects and u coach
It's Trick
Ye you can Protect and Coach
It also doesn't get redirected
No
Cornerstone
Why am I fighting 5 CIRs in a row
It's low ladder for goodness sake
Let me fight the fricking Solgaleos š
Maybe people on low ladder finally realized the only restricted that matter is calyrex 
Probably most of them can't really pilot miraidon properly you do need good positioning after all to play it
but he plays groudon
I'm referring to this
Oh yeah I just want free elo
but no you gotta fight the horses lol
So many horses
I haven't seen a non horse in like 10 games
As I say this
LUNALA GAMING
Watching wolfey play perish trap made me realize that perish trap looks truly not fun
But what a cool fuckin team to end reg H
Until it clicks draco meteor into your Groudon
But if you have Rilla or Indeedee it should be easier
I got myself a Grimmsnarl
It's felt like years since I've seen this team
using tangs team rn, really fun, dnite is so good
also got some less used picks like a9 and harc on there
why does it feel like someone gets outted as a bad person/cancelled in the VGC community weekly
Well-
Who?
Wait what
What happened now
Hey all! Watching this match live, I thought there was an incredible level of complexity and depth to both players approach to the game and wanted to take the time to break it down! Kudos to both Wolfe and Andrew! And also to Tevon for editing the video!
Bro still clinging on
Huh
ofc, i am playing it till its literally dead

jan 6th
Oh Dillon is this about uh drama
Ong
You missed the fun one
lmao
Yo someone want to play reg h or g bo3 on switch?
He better have my fucking order, I'm hungry
Anyways Dillon speaking of drama did you see the absolute bullshit that TCG is having as drama rn
Ngl I actually did think that was cool AF
its a great tech really can mess w/ some calcs
Like my ass sitting down for 5-10 minutes tryna make sure my Nasty Plot Dengo don't eat shit to Sucker Punch and Tang just like "eat some seeds dumbass"
you missed a lot bubba
i missed you 
OHH SHHIT RIGHT
Idk why but it reminds me of Grassy Seed Zamazenta
YEAHHHH


Y'know what's funny
That Grassy Seed Zamazenta was built like a WG Zama team iirc and like
I just like to imagine that they didn't know that you still get the Dauntless Shield boost without the Rusted Shield
ye
Yeah
The Rusted Shield doesn't activate the boost, it just gives Zamazenta it's unholy stats
And the steel typing
Like people don't run other items on Zacian and Zamazenta not cuz they don't get the boosts
The typing and stats for both are just better with the items so it's like why use other items when you're gonna miss out on stat points that will definitely matter
It's essentially like running Mewtwo over Shadow Rider
You're just running something that's an objectively worse version of something that is powerful
its definitely a trade off but i think the bulk especially for this kind of team is warranted
terrain recovery + intimidate w/ harc, aveil from a9
one overhaet :3
š¤Ø
aurora prob stops that but still lotta damage down
i mean u can also tera
what tera it running?
water
tera byte my ass plz
lol also theres always gna b moves that can ko do big damage to ur mon thats wat its all about
u gta play around it
mhm
8-2 to start with this team within top 1000 on ladder atm
time to binge a 6 months cybertron VGC videos 
sd is cool but cart is so much more fun
Infinity groudon is still at 1320 lol
Watch a replay of a PokƩmon battle between Link1603 and infinitygroudon! Format: [Gen 9] VGC 2025 Reg G; Date: Dec 17, 2024
Nah man cloak Dengo
It's the secret sauce
howd u wind up doing
It started bad - I started at 0-2 and started to spiral, then went into round 3 with my gym leader final pokemon music on blast
I ended 4-4, but the margin for me going 6-2 was razor thin, and I was able to work back through my matches and find where I went wrong.
So overall - highly successful.
thats good
Sadly one turning point was round 8 - I was in a winning position by just having stalled out my own Tailwind and ko'd both of my opponents lead pokes - they had set TR during Tailwind, and I had two turns of TR active with BM Ursa and TTar on the board
Tyranitar only had to connect with a rock slide on one mon and I won the game. He double missed.

@rustic mountain
Their remaining pokes were Salamence and an Unburdened Sneasler
I had speed advantage by a windfall
oof yea thats tough
tree i wish i brought the team i brought to the day 2 cup

):
didnt go well im assuming?
noooo but the cup did lol
Yeah double miss was catastrophic. But I also identified a better play there anyway.
well theres that atleast
So I may be actually going to NAIC or something, if I can. But if I can't, I'll just be ready for next season 
5-2, got me a cute stellar crown booster box
pog
feel that naic prolly gna b massive
then pulled the most expensive cards in the set cx
everytime I miss a crucial move at a tournament, i always tell myself that i am never bringing inaccurate moves again...
fast forward 2-3 months later and i'm still rocking shit like scale shot, thunder wave, etc.
lmao yea sometimes u jus gta learn to live w/ them cuz they make the most sense to use
I mean there's a real consideration of risk vs reward.
I'll still run slightly innacurate moves if the payoff is good. Like Magma Storm 
i mean dnite w/o scale shot is like why even run it so i think its harder to think of a trade off there like most other mons who mightve have slightly weaker but 100% accurate moves
Prevents the target from switching for four or five turns (seven turns if the user is holding Grip Claw). Causes damage to the target equal to 1/8 of its maximum HP (1/6 if the user is holding Binding Band), rounded down, at the end of each turn during effect. The target can still switch out if it is holding Shed Shell or uses Baton Pass, Flip Turn, Parting Shot, Shed Tail, Teleport, U-turn, or Volt Switch. The effect ends if either the user or the target leaves the field, or if the target uses Mortal Spin, Rapid Spin, or Substitute successfully. This effect is not stackable or reset by using this or another binding move.

Rock Slide was the greedy play. So it's really on me, and somewhat on TTar
75 more like 20
Not me I fuckin love gambling
partially on ttar, mostly on u for putting it in that spot
Gambling is always in the house's favor, Monke.
dillon are u going Vancouver?

That's offensive, I'm homeless
Yeah I get what you're saying. If I had done safer plays at the end I would've won out
yea
I navigated it into a winning position in TR and got greedy
yeah it's like $500 minimum to fly there
I'm homeless
I put my house on red 
Dude it was over 500 for me to fly to Toronto lmfao
even wat ur saying w/ move choices and what not like u know the same applies to in game decisions, weighing the cost of what ur doing, what it can gain u, and what it might lose u
He kinda fluctuates I fought him a few times
I think cracked his team tho
Yeah exactly. That's the risk vs reward thing.
jesus
most teams benefit from making middle ground plays but sometimes u gta know wen to let it rip, and it wont always be right, just apart of the game
$200cad flight for meee
wh-
thatās still so expensive
no it notttt
like for wolfeys perish team, he said the safe play was usually never the best play haha so he was playing mad risky/bold for a lot of his sets
200 dollars is pretty cheap for a flight.
same price as Orlando flight
I have to pay a huge premium because I fly out of Bangor International Airport.
It's 300 dollars more expensive than the one downstate
i flyin outta toronto
Man big eff to Pearson International Airport today.
They dropped so many goddamn balls.

flying out of o'hare is great for a lot of cities
Yeah flying anywhere out of Bangor is hella pricey.
That team looked like a such a pain in the ass to play I swear
Felt like every game of the last two sets was so slow and tedious lol
shoutout canadian border agent who asked me what team i brought to the tournament when he saw my backpack
i just played it on cart a bit ago haha
well vs it rather
In that case I always make middle ground plays cuz we never trust a fart
5head
LOL dude it may have been the same guy that talked to me about the tournament
its def annoying, didnt help i got crit on my dengo t2 but i wound up clutching it with help from a9 freezing the politoed
He was like "reason for travel?"
"personal. went to an event."
"You were at the pokemon event! I KNEW IT"
See, I was not always taking middle ground plays.
I crushed one of my opponents in round 7 by hitting Politoed with an Earth Power to call the Steel Tera.
Ended the game on turn 1.
I played against it on showdown like last month it was quite frusterating š
lmao oof
He dropped from the event after that and I kinda felt bad.
But like.. It was a literal 50/50
yea thats a team i have no interest playing
the plus side is any1 whose not wolfey isnt too hard to beat w/ it
yo was it one of those 2 guys also running wolfe's team (or at least similar)
wat r u gna do let him win? haha its apart of competition
It feels like heās going turbo mode but also nerfing himself at the same time
Nah Politoed was just a bulky rain setter for them. It wasn't Perish.
like he plays it better than any other team but also he has the worst time when he plays it
No, but I just felt a litlte responsible for him dropping š¤·
He was very upset after that game.
i mean so was every1 else b4 u who he lost to
cant put it all on u, and its also their choice
Yo I'm aware of that lol. I'm not putting it all on me and I'm not unfamiliar with this sort of thing either. lol
i think its more just if hes feeling it, its gna be like last weekend and he just wins
I used to grind big events in MTG. So I've had a lot of people drop after playing me.
it is always so funny to me when people get upset to my face after a game
wouldnt really say hes nerfing himself
hes been the most successful perish player ever
or vice versa, like bragging when they win
i think his best strength w/ perish is knowing wen its useable
i shoulda stayed to finish 4-4 but i was so upset that i got essentially counter teamed by a local who asked to join the milotic chat
I kept stoic whether I won or lost, but always tried to be conversational.
Thats tru
He set it himself tho he wouldnāt recommend it to anyone as itās really hard to play
i always hit my opponent with the classic "where you from?" and sometimes it sparks conversation, other times they're not talkative which is cool
yea like hes right, same w/ his last perish team too
i mostly dont say anything win or lose, my least favourite is winning and my opponent wants to ramble abt how they couldve played differently to win lmao like idc
Like dude that lost his Politoed knew it was a 50/50, and he was just upset that I got it right.
damn that fuckin sucks

Yeah that guy was just shitty
lame move on them, really not worth it in the long haul to lose out on potential friends/vgc partners for that
also jus taking advantage of someones trust
You never reveal the secret sauce
he took the stuff that worked universally that only we had teched for (poison bm + insanely fast rilla knock off) then built around mus we knew we struggled with so it was both an a9/ape team & volc team lmao
so i basically remade group chat for reg g just alot smaller
Yeah be super exclusive with it
bc joining a teambuilding group, contributing nothing, then doing that is crazy disrespectful lmfao
That guy can go pound a ton of sand
that was the one time i was mean to my opponent
I packed up just said āthats kinda parasitic but, to each and their ownā and just walked off like i was so upset, realistically shouldāve 4-4ād instead of dropping but i was so upset from some of the games i had played that day
also weird to counter a team that isnt even gna b all that common
i mean in terms of like, specifically building a counter team for it
i have no idea
i could see maybe in like xern/groudon era but idk here seems strange
im just not sure but it felt real shitty
yea i bet
No it does feel shitty. It's a violation of trust and it's extremely disrespectful, just on the basest of levels.
this team in the day 2 cup felt alot more fun to pilot tbh
Hey uh sorry to interrupt but Iām kinda knew and Iām looking for a good PvP team
Never once have I betrayed someone's trust with team information. It's just really really low.
im using 4/6 same mons rn 
unloved ape
frfr
I gotta come up with something for my local in two weeks 
hahah dug is fun
man
I'm not sure if I'm going to play my Toronto team at all
i have a local this weekend i heard so imma jus bring this team
thinking of ape i really shoulda made a cart team with my shiny pancreas puncher ape
ursaluna actually isnt one of the ones im using haha but yea id imagine that added on is fun
now i feel so bad cus i love that shiny :(
im using tangs 6
Just catch another one
my nickname theme was khai dreamsā absolute heartbreak album 
no i mean i shoulda used it on a cart H team
ooohhhhh
true i just have like nothing trained on cart and no resources cus my account sucks lol
would be a lotta work especialyl when im enjoy reg G teams again
me counting down the days š¢
me asf
like first half of reg H i was just stuck on gallade i loved using that thing
Hmmmmmm I feel like thereās a theme going on here but canāt exactly point my finger to it
I'm probably just gonna sidestep Reg G 2: Electric Boogaloo
i wanna use some other restricteds ill play it
but not gna act like i wouldnt prefer more reg h
I've used just about all the relevant ones the first time around
So I'm just gonna like... take a break on it
ion see it
Like the format isn't really any different and I'm more excited for something new š¤·
itll progress
csr or miraidon for meee
metas always develop
Yeah this developed for three months the first time 
Everyone was like "nah this is gonna be different" and less than 24 hours the Calyrex complaints started anew xD
miraidon, zama and turtle are wat im gna use mostly or atleast try to haha. did mostly kyogre + horses the first go around
i wanna do more mirai zama and try to learn csr and lunala
tbf csr didnt even convert well at worlds
the amount of darkshifu at owrlds
Not at all my point 
Miraidon and Gordon
Reg G was sorta fun the first time, not really interested in three more months of it.
my point was it did wind up being different
nothing of wat ppl thought itd be, did it turn out as
No. I wasn't talking about Worlds conversions at all. I was talking about general consensus of people that we know yearning for Reg G because it isn't Sneasler and then bitching about horses ad nauseum 
maybe im remembering wrong but it felt like watershifu leading up to worlds, then ton of dark and then right back to water after
oh or zam asw yeah
im just banned from trick room so itll be only balance
i mean ppl are always gna complain
Like i'm not talking about big events at all. Just funny stuff that people say. lol
Yeah people complain about every format.
jus apart of vgc
Lettuce proceed
Like I'm aware of it. "The worst format is the one we're currently playing"

It's a funny little anecdote.
It means everyone always complains about the current format, no matter what it is, and says it's the worst. Then the next comes, and THAT'S the worst.
I'm not saying "this is the worst format ever"
im fine ripping thru ppls protects w/ urshifu but reg h is personally one of the best sv formats imo
I feel like people felt that way mostly towards reg f-g

Wasnāt really present during reg D
Omg.
Mostly just dominated with Urshifu at the beginning then I dipped
I think you entirely missed the meaning of that.
Yo I love my bears š¤·
I know what you mean
But Reg H was a lot of fun
But the hate definitely spiked during reg f because of bolt
It's not a quantative thing or anything to even think about - it's literally just a rip on people complaining about formats
Yeah you get to see a lot of things
we jus go from 1 broken bear to another
Yeah like I'm not gonna sit and complain about overpowered stuff because I get the same access to it. š¤·
Bears
I understand why Urshifu breaks things
i think the conversation of accessibility is warranted but yea at the same time, op stuff be op its in every game
Wonder why gamefreak gives power to the bears
Lmao no more TR for Emma
urshifu is more fair than sneasler
Fucking thank you
dollarmonke has given 1 Gen Rep to setsumizi
losing a bo1 bc sneasler decided it was bed time & paralysis time was fucking awful
sat there like what do u even want me to do bruh
i think the sneasler stuff was very overstated even despite having that happen myself. ive had games ive been slept and para'd and still won, i think its just an easy thing to point the finger to
Emma how was regionals btw or has it not started yet
Sadly with gimmicky shit Sneasler might still be around
Like deadass I fought some Sneasler CSR Psyspam
4th fastest mon in the whole format while having access 50% of the times to spore
no x-2s made cut so i jus got nothing
I don't like it
it was aight
Fair
i miss my wife more than anything tbh
And that ability š
To make it even more faster as if wasnāt already fast enough
Urshifu makes your opponent look like they're playing bad but it's just because they can't protect.
Or you can do what Wolfe did and Tera Flutter Mane and then click Protect so it can die to Wicked Blow instantly 
anytime ive seen sneasler in reg g i have a wide ass grin on my face and smile knowing i get free points
Are y'all actually like married or am I trippin
noo we jus call each other wife
It got jackpots on me so much

Ok see that's what I figured just wasn't sure
You're just unlucky regarding a 20% chance to sleep you. It's a you thing. Lol
Iāve gotten lucky a lot of times
Hey bro fuck it
All on red
Urshifu also bullies the shit out of Sneasler š¤·
hands and shifu jus better fighting types
Mmmmmm
like y r u even picking sneasler other then rng roulette to maybe do something but prolly nothing
Well in Reg G yeah. But in Reg H Sneasler is premiere fighting type
It just makes sense.
Yea
Like even at Toronto I clicked Dire Claw twice.
My luck might be bad but a wise man once said you miss 100% or the shots you don't take so I'm putting my entire 401k on that poker table
yea but in the context of the convo its reg g so u have access to better ones
I clicked Close Combat and Throat Chop waaaaaaaaaay more
Does Sneasler survives mystic water surging strikes
no
Pfffffff no
Dire Claw gave me so many bad habits
I gambled on it even in situations where I shouldn't have
Yeah the thing with Sneasler is that it needs 100% unburden but it also needs sash
252+ Atk Urshifu-Rapid Strike Surging Strikes (3 hits) vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Sneasler on a critical hit: 162-192 (103.8 - 123%) -- guaranteed OHKO
nah poison touch has had success too
Sneasler doesn't even survive a no-item Surging Strikes
Also a you thing lol
i think sneasler wont be used in G, main terrain after grass is electric lol
Would it even survive a wicked blow?
yea
I feel like barely
Oh Tree I deadass almost used Cyclizar for a Reg H meme cuz it speed creeps Sneasler
it resists it
100% agree and trying to say otherwise is coping because Sneasler is so outclassed in a legendary format of any variety
Crazier things have happened
Its fighting it should take it
i kinda support it, i have a soft spot for cyclizar it was on my first sv team
shed tail into belly drum azu
Fighting/Poison
Pressure, Unburden, Poison Touch (Hidden)
80/130/60/40/80/120

Sneasler can't survive in a format with Landorus
Nah Tofu like found my first message in here
It was one of those noob ones with like "I have these 6, any suggestions" for a singles team and Tofu said you should make a team with em and Cyclizar was one and I was so down bad from staying away from shitty stall that I almost used Scale Shot Cyclizar
Me when Sneasler looks at CSR E Force
252 SpA Tera Fairy Flutter Mane Moonblast vs. 4 HP / 4 SpD Sneasler: 134-158 (85.8 - 101.2%) -- 12.5% chance to OHKO
its an okay roll
Where is Landorus Therian
man if 2 sneaslers stood next to each other theyd both die lmao
It doesn't matter which
Anyways.uh
Speaking of Trick Room earlier, I might try one of those CIR Eleki teams for shits and giggles
My dumb ass was really trying to cook with a special attack lando therian
use it

Yeah I played it last Reg G. It was neat
Eh do I really need to ladder to master ball this season that bad or
longer climb next szn
CIR eleki was cool
jus get to master then use it, getting there isnt hard
Fun fact: Landorus Incarnate's physical attack is higher than it's special attack
Yeah.
Some friends were testing cloak Eleki but im not fan of dropping the sash
Well who doesnāt know that
I feel like getting to master using it would be easier than using it in master ball
I use special attacks because- well it has some good options
So you get to have training wheels getting to MB and then the wheels come off.
That and also if I get wisped it doesnāt matter
Everyone has been using special attacks with Landorus Incarnate. That's how he gets run xD
ahhhhh.
Monke.

@chrome knot let's work together and fuck up the scene with Zamazenta
the only issue with me when I was running CIR/Eleki is that you get lowkey wrecked by a well played rillaboom/urshifu-w/incin team
especially becaues they all pivoted to sash urshi and you could no longer just tbolt for a free knockout
Ah

Look at what heat crash did to Lunala
i love shadow shield
Kinda wanna get back into the game but idk what I wanna do
Cuz Iām still playing the dog but I feel like Iāve figured it out
Like what pieces do work for it, and I like problem solving (as much as it doesnāt seem that way) for team members
Wdym
like warm up before actual testing and shit
Again. How
posting for anyone who lives in or near Georgia:
That doesnāt make sense to me
ya know what forget it-
holy shit
i fucking wish
I'd get my BFLs in one week
No plz explain what you mean, like I get what āwarming upā means in like a shooter but idk what that means in the context of VGC
like just know what you doing by refresh your memory on mechanics then if you feel confident then have a go
ah
i really need to know how to rephrase stuff
Itās fine

lmk how it goes 
and send me the pasteeee
who the hell is lemon book
https://pokepast.es/e232beabdaac7c57 im aware this is dumb but i figured out how to get zacian working last reg so these are more things i want to try and work or just mess around with to see what happens
want something to genuinely work on besides like, skill cuz i dont see myself going to any tournaments anytime soon
thought on what could work?
It's me
Trust
It's me if I used a good restricted
If i want to use regieleki on reg G team is it better to run the physical attack or special attack build ?
I would say special attack build. Electroweb is a good speed control option with Volt Switch for pivot.
Tera Blast for some coverage
Tera blast ice ?
Thunderbolt for Strong STAB
You can probably either go Tera Ice with Tera Blast for coverage or Tera Electic and Protect for more damage
Yeah i'm not sure about tera electric tera blast on regieleki
I mean Electric Tera and no Tera Blast but Protect instead
And with how fast regieleki is it's better to just invest on bulk and the special attack right
You can check what you want to outspeed and then do some bulk
but they run sash sometimes so 4/252/252 isnt a bad idea
depends of you have your sash slot used up or not
Hopefully it can at least live agains't prio move because when i used it always get ohkod by sucker punch from chien pao
Thunder clap
Just want to live that if it can't well i guess i have no choice too just run physical build with extreme speed 
or dont run eleki lol
i say this also asking people what niche mon i should run with an already weaker restricted kek
what are you running it with?
I'm not sure yet but i'm thinking of caly s or zacian
idk if eleki really does anything for zac besides speed control
like yes being faster than CSR is huge cuz Zac struggles with it sometimes
but idk
does it get twave?

Agility, Charge, Eerie Impulse, Electric Terrain, Endure, Light Screen, Lock-On, Magnet Rise, Protect, Rain Dance, Reflect, Rest, Screech, Sleep Talk, Substitute, Thunder Wave
A move displayed with Bold text benefits from Same-Type Attack Bonus when used by Regieleki.
It does actually
yea twave would be more consistent into the cloak CSR
and that chance to full para can be huge
and its main redirect explodes to zac, if you went that route
You only miss 10% on T-Wave (dont get unlucky)
you only miss 10% on play rough (i swear its NOT 10%)
Oh it got explosion that could be neat especially when i only play on close team sheet
you could do that ig
Hmm yeah physical regeleki sounds more promising with tera normal explosion and paired it with caly s could be really good
Still think its crazy wolf used a variation of my team to win the regional lol

The power of this move depends on (user's current Speed / target's current Speed), rounded down. Power is equal to 150 if the result is 4 or more, 120 if 3, 80 if 2, 60 if 1, 40 if less than 1. If the target's current Speed is 0, this move's power is 40.

why not just get thunder (if u have rain) or just tbolt
if they do have like prio tw u will basically do like low damage idk
its less giving advice, more like i just wanna know ur reasoning behind it
I'm thinking of using this actually i mean i play on closed team sheet so i just think this could work
Regieleki @ Focus sash
Ability: Transistor
Level: 50
Tera Type: Electric
EVs: 252 Spatk / 252 Speed / 4 HP
Modest Nature
- Electro ball
- Agillity
- Electro web
- Protect
i mean
277 speed max
150 bp to 69 speed
120 bp to 92 speed
80 bp to 138 speed
rest is 60 to 40 bp
ur more likely gonna get value from tbolt
80 bp
Has a 10% chance to paralyze the target.
Electric
Special
90
100
15 (24)
ā
Copied by Mirror Move.
Does not make contact.
But with agillity boost it will always hit for 150 bp right
+2
150 to 138
120 to 180
80 to 277
ion wanna burst ur bubble but like
wouldnt even say "always" hit 150
It have sash and redirect should help it live longer
basically a sitting duck + very squishy
since u wanna set agility
but ur squishy
and even after the set up if enemy has tw
ur basically back to nothing
lets say, u agility and enemy tw + csr nuke
cant really do anything
and do nothing the next turn even if u still outspeed
I could discourage them clicking tailwind i guess by using caly i
Maybe i could try use regeleki only if my openent bringing slow mon to counter caly i
And just don't bring it if they use fast mon

taunt astral barrage
tailwind astral barrage
not experienced with it myself
ok ggs !!
but like theres so much stuff thats going on there that makes it so hard to utilize
its too niche
I don't think taunt mon want to get hit by scarfshifu surging strike
being consistent = being more flexible
My favorite thing when using caly i team is too always open with scarfshifu and caly i
luckily the taunt mon will either resist it or be built to live it..
amoonguss?
amoonguss is still like so prevalent
or just clef csr
I don't think amoongus want to stay in front of caly i
doesnt even need to set tw, got FG + heal
Clef tho?
whys that ?
i mean ur saying eleki + something no
Clef got taunt ?
aand also amoongus can always tera
unless ur gonna always tera grass im clickin spore knowing im going first
i mean as in clef csr pairing kinda is annoying
i think theres also a ice tera eleki for amoonguss stuff
and also goggles eleki but i dont remember
to avoid rage powder
since amoonguss walls eleki
btw btw i just started playing swsh haha
its my first run so im just having fun haha
yo just asking can i keep on resetting glastrier in scarlet and violet till i get a 0 speed one?
I think i never have problem with it because clicking surging strike to caly s and just click trick room with caly i always work because cleffa can only click one move
if youre using this for calyrex no, calyrex ice rider will use the IVs of calyrex himself
but glastier yes you can do in SV
Follow me trick room goes up taunt caly s will get hit by surging
ok cool tr is up and now clefairy
i mean yeah
the fastest on the field⦠& i use after you
cleffa became slowest there and after you
and also
friend guard is a thing and its kinda busted
This Pokemon's allies receive 3/4 damage from other Pokemon's attacks.
25% dmg mitigation
damn
i was hoping on using calyrex ice rider
yeah thats why i recently had to replay sword for a 0atk calyrex shadow rider
I guess i can click protect on caly i and switch to farigiraf
ok well weāre gonna trade horses
Imagine using Calyrex
does armor tail even block after you?
or yknow i can just tera dark
Snorlax counters >
no its not priority
clef is still slower and after you still goes off
No but what caly s trying to do agains't fari anyway
clear the path then deal with farig later
but it caan also tera and it usually teras fairy
doesnt it go tera fairy draining kiss back then?
Good thing my fari have foul play i guess
draining kiss astral calmind/nasty protect?
oh theres that yeha
lorb barrage psychic plot @ dark yippee
on the reg G end
nothing matters
Yea
im calyrex
normal is cute but now ur neutral to everything in the game
Ya
whaat is it
ohhohohoh wanna see something cooler?
mhmm
wooaaaa
W
3 zac and 1 zama shinies 
gaming
reg G is gonna be zama csr mirai all over again no 
Calyice
oh and that yeah
terapagos gaming
people will try groudon then remember wait i hate missing this move and then go back to comfort food
If theyre groudon believer they probably just gonna use it with gravity
and then people like me plays hehe hehe kyogre water tera tw spout +drago
Califairy is dumb

Good luck nerds
Is this more sunpluff shit with restricteds
i hate this bc theres like 3 winning options i feel
There are 3
uhhhh
Fundamentally theres always one thing that has to happen
Lol
||swap incin to chandelure, tera flying duck, worst case scenario duck dies incin comes back in fake out + chandelure trick room then chandelure wins||
You got the same answer as me
|| I was concerned about Double Shock into Trailblaze ||
||into where ..?||
||if u bait double shock anywhere pawmot just cant hit chandelure lol so idrc what duck does atp||
Like thats the 1% risk asf scenario into the || quack slot ||
True
||the play is let duck die or win instantly||
Ok deadass this was my answer I just over thought shit so couldn't commit on it
|| Though ngl for the puzzle I was playing as if they have EQ
||
|| duck is key and FO needs recycling everything else just becomes obv ||
homie didnt read
|| Even then like at most Incin could win ||
|| Cuz Pawmot either dies or protects ||
||not rly, duck dying is key otherwise u win immediately, nothing stops u from swap chandelure + surf lol||
My thoughts too
||its up to them to double shock & ko duck, which creates the fo cycle + tr, otherwise no matter what they click they lose to surf LOL||
|| Surf duck pog ||
Attention all #PlayPokemon competitors!
Additional seats for San Antonio Regionals will go live on this Thursday at 7pm CST. All registration links for San Antonio can be found here: https://rk9.gg/event/pokemon-san-antonio-2025
come watch me win san antonio š
Switch Inci for Chandelure, let Quaquaval take the double shock, if Ursaluna clicks trailblaze into Chandelure doesn't matter, Inci comes in, fake out Ursa, TR Chandelure and kill
(i live 3k miles away)
That would be my logic idk
If Pawmot clicks double shock into Chandelure then Quaquaval kills Ursaluna unless it protects but then Pawmot can't kill Quaquaval and you have tera flying to survive CC
And then you kill both
No yeah I mean its obv the center of the decision
Weather honestly that time of January is bad in my area otherwise I definitely would cuz it's like
7 hr drive for me
@balmy glen ummmmmmmmmmmm
Can ya boy try out the Zama sauce šš
I want to convert 
After I win San Antonio š
What about the old sauce

That's a new worry I've never seen before

I'm an honest man Keanu
I wouldn't share it
Though if you don't feel comfortable sharing it's ok
I believe him. Who wouldn't
@balmy glen see you in vancouver?
Prob ye
Okidogi or Gapdos? Iāve got 1 vote for Okidogi
yay !
Should I go Tera grass sitrus berry on incin or Goggles and Tera ghost
goggles ghost
boobaku
Gapdos or Okidogi
Which Lando is better at the moment guys?
kinda into the idea of okidogi
Alr
its typing and bulk seems like it does pretty nice into alot
and ability
WHO THE HELL IS LEMON BOOK
lando-I was considerably better than lando-T for a while
thats my alt
https://pokepast.es/e232beabdaac7c57 make this box of just potential zacian partners cuz i got bored then it got narrowed down to ape gapdos and Okidogi, and i dont like ape so picking between the 2 atm
for zacian hmm
I, I figured you assumed they were for Zac lol
it slipped my mind for some reason
you probbaly dont like regidrago cus its hyper offense
tried ting lu yet?
honestly
roaring moon also seems kinda hype
some of theese sounds like an anoying time for shadows
zacian peliper might go kinda wild
what does zacian hate the most
groudon/incin/calyrex shadow
what do those mons hate the most
wide guard peliper
weezing
Iāve done this
Not looking for meta
As dumb as that is
Iāve tried only gapdos
So everything else is on the table for new stuff
I played peli shifu rain stuff all of last reg g
I want something to work on cuz I feel like I got the rain Zac archetype down
i understand the sentiment, you want your own twist
what about flamigo
I have a question for my gallads EVs cause I feel like I'm not doing something right so if anyone can DM so I can know how to benefit my EVs the most it would be very Appreciated.

The guy has to have sash tho and Iām likely playing pao with Zac, per usual
So the item could be tricky
And 115 isnāt great for an attack stat this format, itās alright, but not great
Got questions about my gallads EVs if anyone can DM me to help it would be very appreciated š
I dont think its dumb at all, if i was tryna use most optimal thing i would just steal a world's team or somethin

It does get throat chop
Iāll put flamigo in the box
hm
I do feel like the rule just needs to be that itās good into incin, groudon, ice rider/shadow rider, and or sun teams.

That caught me off guard
i dont see much life orb lando is these days
usually is scarf
also idk how i feel about upper hand
o mean
some people still run life orb but scarf is the general consensus-
i said i dont see it much not that it didnt exist
It was a thought
Cuz anti incin guy, but I think ice punch could also be ok
And I figured Iād still check the calc
or even knock off utility dropping that feels weird
howd you get a tree role
It gets that?
doesnt it?

@rustic mountain use Sneasler on your CSR HO you won't
You cooked but your name is Walter White
Honestly wish Palkia was better cuz Spacial Rend is kinda fuckin crazy
wdym crazy u fuck
100 bp 95% and only high chance to crit
compare thaat shit to some busted moves like astral
fucking ass move
I actually got insane amount of KOs from it
Both of those moves are so stupid tbf
And I got a LOT of crits tbh too
It was essentially like I was using Draco with less drawback
Isn't it like
Basically worse Ivy Cudgel
Plus it's not like fucking Roar of Time which has a fuckin recharge turn
Hot take: make Ivy Cudgel 95% accurate
Girl is swinging a bat, she gotta miss at some point
Maybe
100 BP with crit chance with no drawback is crazy
It doesn't even make contact she can't get chipped by rocky helmet or spiky shieldš
Like no reason you're putting up Babe Ruth numbers with no drawback
Not playing any Ogerpon is kinda crazy
https://pokepast.es/f85af2a7500a4af0 do I need something for ice rider or smth?
Especially Hearthflame
I'm so sorry I downplayed it for 3 Regs in a row due to Wellspring and shit, no way I disrespected mini Zacian
Is the move that have higher BP depending on user health currently only water sprout dragon energy and eruption ?
Hum skiddily Raging Bolt
Or Rilla
Kinda like those two choices here idk why
Can do AV Bolt or just Booster for fuck you damage
booster tera fairy sounds fine
Throat Chop Dogi lowkey cooks
Blocks Inci from using parting shot and can punish tera ghost on it
Does that not make the CIR MU worse or is it fine
I figured dark was a good Tera as well for CSR which it can take hits from
ur right i wont
1 cuz the team is retired nd 2 glimm is the better poison type for the team
You'd have to tera/EV to live a Lance but probably fine
Well I do that regardless lol
Bolts better for typing synergy

What
No way
is it better to start EV train at early level or later?
personally, id say EV train a Pokemon you know you want to use competitively as soon as you can so you dont accidentally gain any EVs that you don't want
i'm not gonna play competitive, but i just want a stronger pokemon with my own effort, and i still got pokerus
so yeah start EV train early should be good right?
Pokerus isn't an active thing in S/V, and there's no difference in EV stats if you train early as opposed to later - it's the same values
i mean in shield
thats atleast somewhat reasonable. i jus played vs covert cloak dnite b4
w/ scale shot btw



you gonna die boi
