It's a real shame personally that Koraidon is another weather setter, would have preferred him being a terrain setter like Miraidon. Sun getting preferential treatment over rain đ
fairy terrain duh
Itâs fighting dragon, gonna invent the dragon terrain where it buffs dragon moves by 30% and removes the immunity of fairies
yesss 
Or fighting terrain where SoR is the terrain and boost fighting moves by 30%
what would a fighting type terrain be called anyway
punchy terrain
ok the name punchy terrain would go crazy hard for a name đ„ đ„ đ„
If we get another major mechanic introduction like terrain or ruins I bet itâll be legendaries
punchy terrain đ„ đ„ đ„
Cage terrain
Dojo
Q for anyone who has attended tournaments, do I need to worry about my aftermarket joycons? đ
I know wireless controllers are a no-no
But I have no idea about my off brand joycons
Wireless controllers are fine
But you need a wire
So theyâre sorta a no-go sorta not

Head smashed
Man I thought the horse was gonna win
Most wireless controllers come with a usb cable that allows you to plug them into the console or dock - those are fine. I bring a wireless controller with me to every regional because it's reliable.
If it doesn't come with a cable, any old USB cable will work.
This is why we donât run overheat
Bro got caught in the comp chat
I knew this lol
is pokepaste down
guys
if pokepaste goes down
i swear to god it will never go back up again
it's working for me

Skill issue

I have question is it possible for tera stellar tera blast chien pao ohko tera water max HP caly ice ?
252+ Atk Sword of Ruin Tera-Stellar Chien-Pao Tera Blast (100 BP) (1st Use) vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Tera-Water Calyrex-Ice Rider: 134-160 (64.7 - 77.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Hmm the thing is i playing on cart ladder and this guy use tera stellar tera blast chien pao to ohko my caly ice that i tera into water
Oh did the fucking guy use choice banded chien pao
252+ Atk Choice Band Sword of Ruin Tera-Stellar Chien-Pao Tera Blast (100 BP) (1st Use) vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Tera-Water Calyrex-Ice Rider: 204-240 (98.5 - 115.9%) -- 87.5% chance to OHKO
interesting
Good damn it
its kinda funny
I just lost to random bs on cart ladder again
does LO get roll too?
hmm
Oh well i guess it just the risk of playing on closed team sheet 
How bulky should my ogerpon-W be for a bulky set
Hey stinky
no
Banded pao is an interesting idea
Dumb but interesting
How is a booster energy consumed tho
Yuh Huh
Well this awkward 
booster energy looks like a capsule so i imagine its like a spray type medicine or a drink of some kind
They all are secret kids toys and have spots to unscrew a back panel to put the capsule battery in

???
Do people usually not invest in speed on kyoger ?
I just outspeed one and Im confused. How do people build kyoger ?
I'm also feeling like dropping the trick room aspect of my team but idk what to use instead of ursaluna and amoogus
Depends on the team
Some go bulky and rely on origin pulse or trick room
I know what it is
You know what it is
Itâs monster energy drink
An energy drink for monsters
Hi, Iâm new to competitive could someone help me like understand it and make a team or something if you can? You can dm me if you want would be appreciated
if they have leftovers and calm mind, theyâre likely slow
are you interested in single or double battles?
Just spout and origin pulse is all they showed
@next stump doubles
Peopel should never ever ever cook with dodrio
If you try to build a team tangled feet stop it
RNG dependent as heck
cant blame anyone if you lose to confusion. it comes with the territory
Itâs a lot, but hereâs a copy paste message I send to anyone interested
Here is a list of all of the resources I find most helpful when playing/learning VGC:
https://www.vgcguide.com/ (Helpful website for basics and also to get your feet wet)
https://www.pikalytics.com/ (Shows you usage data and helps you build Pokémon)
https://nerd-of-now.github.io/NCP-VGC-Damage-Calculator/ (Damage calculator that is very helpful when building teams or reflecting on games)
https://youtube.com/c/CybertronVGC (Best channel for daily VGC content, guiding you through the thought process you need for success)
https://victoryroadvgc.com/ (Tournament results, team reports and breakdowns, and rental codes can be found here)
https://twitter.com/VGCPastes - Tournament and high ranked teams
https://twitter.com/vgccorner - Helpful Twitter account that posts in-depth EV spreads and ideas about competitive pokemon
There are dozens of other resources, some of which are in the pinned messages of this channel. But these IMO are the best places to start absorbing knowledge and getting to a place where you're comfortable with VGC
A comprehensive resource site for the competitive format of the Pokemon video game. Information on this site is designed to help players new and old understand fundamentals that exist through out each iteration of the game and meta. Information here will pertain to Scarlet and Violet.
Pokemon Scarlet & Violet Indigo Disk competitive usage stats for VGC 2025 doubles, OverUsed (OU) singles, Ubers, and more. Top tera types, moves, abilities, spreads and sets!
Hey guys, Aaron "Cybertron" Zheng here!
I am a competitive Pokémon VGC player. In my years of competing, I've won five Regional Championships and two National Championships. I also placed 3rd at the 2013 World Championships and 8th at the 2012 World Championships. Throughout my career, I've qualified for nine World Championships.
I am also a ...
So its like
Your Gambling
For privilege of gambling
So it cancels out
Because by the enemy gaining the ability to miss against you
Your also gaining the ability to hit yourself and not do anything
Giving them more chances to hit you and more chances for you to hit yourself
It doesnât make any seeeeeenseeeeeee
if u dont wanna read everything or have addtionall input you can probably DM people here too. at least me if u want
How far you want to go competing determines how deep you have to go or should go in team building and meta knowledge and such.
Too add to the resources Dillon sent: its usually a good idea to have a look at proven teams and figure out why they did good to understand.
I really love the size variation in scarlet and violet
Any of you play or can play CIR peli shifu?
depends
Wdym depends
depends what u want
Match up practice
yea
dunno that
down to help with practice if you want
iâll make the change
Itâs Alr I appreciate it
erik gotchu
is there a specific six you struggle with?
Just peli shifu CIR
bet
thatâs giving me a hard time
showdown username is eriksp
K
any leads you want to practice?
Shifu peli
ready when you are
hearth moon just pins your CIR thats great
hm
im trying to think about what i lost to the other day
roaring moon is something i should've gotten rid of earlier though
threatens like everything on that team
Anyone wants to play a bo3 on cart?
Or showdown i don't really care but i prefer cart
im down for a cart bo3
les goo
you can get pretty good trades with it, if you get a tailwind or a KO with acrobatics before getting KOd that's a W
i agree
ok, im gonna go do that bo3 then i gotta go get ready, ty i'll probably bug you about that again
k
i have a lot of free time for the next few months lol i'm happy to help whenever needed
wait do you have an OTS
what would be the best tera type for camerupt not using the solid rock ability
i played that g1 terribly
I got lucky with the sandsear miss tbh
eh even then i was really bad about removing amoonguss
1 why camerupt
2 probably grass or water depending on the format
what other ability are you using
I FOLDED SO HARD
dammit man
i think i need a crit
yea, yea i need a crit badly lol
damn ggs @foggy lodge
i needed to sandsear i think
ggs lol
doubling zama was also so dumb
i probably won if i didnt do that
or at least got close
Every acrobatics animation was a jumpscare
i needed a crit and i think maybe i won there
I think i should have just sucker punch Lando in the second turn
172 Atk Tera-Flying Roaring Moon Acrobatics (110 BP) vs. 156 HP / 156+ Def Zamazenta-Crowned on a critical hit: 87-103 (46.5 - 55%) -- 67.58% chance to 2HKO yea 1 crit game me a potential out
And body press Roaring
yeah ggwp
Helped me with some practice
The Pelipper surviving wood hammer lowkey gave me the win
mhm
moon did good that whole set im happy about that
glad its working out with acro now
Mhm
Double up pressure into Pao the whole time is scary
Tho acrobatics not letting in sash surprised me
someone just pulled Dozo Giri Toxic Orb with Flamig shit on me
didnt bring calyS just Booming Weezing and DozoGiri Flamigo
Yea, Iâd be happy to run another set sometime
Thatâs a good mu for me to practice
Yeah sure lmk when you want to play
I'm available most of the time
anger point...
also because its my favorite mon
Lmfao what is that
https://pokepast.es/da021ebc25d50748 any thoughts on how to fix my trick room matchup?
spongebob
Thatâs is not SpongeBob
what kind of trick room are you struggling against
like calyrex ice?
also lunala
mfw
played all of swsh for 0atk love ball csr
played all of swsh for love ball cir

shoooooooo
i didnt know playing so incorrectly and getting lucky enough for it to work was possible good god
like does lilligant just not have cc ???
lol
yes
CLICK IT
no
???????
ive got experience
you clearly dont!
The safe plays are not allowed in that game or what
t1 is so telegraphed, amoonguss HAS to tera otherwise dies immediately, most used tera is always water, ursh has to also respect after u heatwave so very inclined to tera & slow down tempo of game with spore
Safe plays=no
Gambling=yes

t2/3 you dont even have to sleep amoonguss just fucking kill it lmfao
if I can make it happen makes it 10x better
also indeedee never even has to die but ur allergic to clicking cc into ursh for some reason
Eruption+ CC kills all the time even with sashđ
my torkoal is slower than amoongus
IT IS NOT
IT WAS LORB AND YOU JUS SCOUT FOR ITEM ANYWAYS
mmm ok?
yes it is
torkoal has a base 20 speed and amoongus has a base 30
i always go for minus speed because this is trick room team
lmao
canât say im shocked the psyspam team has insanely unoptimal replays
damn i didnt see that
interesting interaction i see
i just noticed i didnt even give indeedee a nature
im the best stupid player there ever was 

No one can do it like me 
emma emma
hai
save meeee
fronm
school
anyone know how to fix broken replay links on PASRS?
Coming up as WL with missing G1
Replay entries is G1 & G2, WW
Iâd try re pasting the game 1 link if you havenât already
Every single episode of what if season 3 as been extremely boring
Why even save that shit lol
Save everything
yeah no luck, its not a one off, its happening a few times throughout the doc
they are using sandy shocks as the pokemon on the thumbnails. its a sign
morrissssss-
Thatâs in 3 days huh
Yep, absolutely bricking it
But is it in there?
Man when will iron bundle come in 
My bets are on Terapagos CSR and Zamazenta 
Ice rider?
Idt VGC has a G league bro
Though I doubt it'd even make that
Also no Shadow Rider
At least for Birmingham
Ice Rider probably could win Birmingham, though probably more success at San Antonio
Eh if the horses donât win itâs a win for the community
Itâd be funny if some underdog shit wins
It won't
IM FREEEEEE
Boring
With the exception of Boyt but he's a walking exception
Hey if it gives them best chances to win đ€·ââïž
I wouldn't pay a ton of money to bring Giratina to some shit
Nuh Uh
I trap you
You'll never escape :3
Nah
Iron Bundle is VGCâs Killian Hayes
What are the odds that someone uses the exact same team (a mirror match)
Y'all's expectations on "oh boring cuz they don't show Cosmoem on stream" is really just dumb imo
fuck you-
i spent 7 hours at school without any food and back to back to back to back classes
I mean I'd still feed you 
Actually no
I trap you so I can get good Asian food 
We already know turn 1 incin and Calyrex
i would cook you alive-
istg
iâm not doing school, work, and cooking all in one day
7 hours back to back to back to back classes, 4 hours work
But as to who takes this whole thing
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm⊠thatâs probably the interesting part wouldnât be surprised if it was a shadow rider
Trump voice "they're eating the monkeys, cooking them alive"
Jeez Goodluck at work
yo its the girl from fortnite
I SWEAR TO G-
:)
Honestly sometimes I feel like a quarter of the people who complain cuz something won probably didn't even watch the regional to see if a match was good or not and just want to complain
ok thatâs it-
im gonna just disappear
:(
oh wait no
Never leave Nova

Lmao that gif
What I see from the high ground when a schizophrenic is chucking shit at me

I love overlord
Nova I'll do the portal combo if we can knock Scotty in that bitch first
Dude I had period where I almost just blurted out a LOL item aloud for no reason cus I was so sleepy deprived at school
My fucking Brad imagined strategy building while sleep deprived and my friends thought I was crazy
i have questions about the ethical code as well as physics, english, japanese, and my own life bouncing around in my head
itâs like an echo chamber in there
ADHD college edition
STATIK SHIV
Overlord is gooodddd
though i only made it to the second season
Scotty idt you can have those
Bring back goredrinker
Itâs stays peak for all 4 seasons
BLADE OF THE RUINED KING
My dad fucking loved overlord
Viego is cool and hot
heâs also fun to play when you like every role like me
So I actually know the characters
lmao what
the combo only works if i can land my uppercut 
so if we miss itâs my fault
I think he wants you to uppercut me in it
You better line that shit up then
itâs not that hard
I love the yordles
Ok
Hey Scotty you see those flowers over there
i just gotta get to spawn on time
I own all but one Morde skin as heâs my Pookie and theyâre RELEASING A 200$ GACHA SKIN FOR HIM

ooo nice
back then i can just open a new account get 3k mmr and sell it for like 20$
ez fast money
Ohh account farmer
yes
Jokingly judging
Cus account selling just helps ban evades and Smurfâs no?
Or do people use it for diff reasons on dota


No life for money to help toxic no lifeâs
Have you no shame
yk, as they say
money money something something priority
talk about being toxic, i also kinda made a kid cry in dota
played with a friends lil brother
Big funny
Bro Iâve made friends playing youâre making people cry đ
We are VERY different moba players
but look, im not mad. i was just like disappointed and tried giving advice
but i think i went a bit harsh and he cried
literally left the game and my friend told me he cried

Iâve met like 20+ people I friended on discord and would just chat or play with for months after
And youâre here causing kids to cry
đ
Anything for the bag I guess

look look, me change when i play moba 
Fucking venom symbiote
damn
I try to stay positive cus people tilting just piss me off more đ
i always tilt
idk why, its a bad habit
i always play with friends so
Ahhh
never played solo, everytime i play solo i tilt so bad
Nah for me Iâve been doing support cus I hate losing bot and every single game I get fucking
Resilient or unlucky under my name and have like 60% WR
uh so i also played mobile legends right
60 sounds good until Iâm a full rank class below my normal đ
I earn like 30 lose 18
And itâs still slow climb lmfao
uh what should i do
i have roaring moon, clefairy, hearthflame and urshifu water-
looking for a final teammate-
CSR?
the restricted is a secret
so my friends are also what u call semi pro, goes to tier 2 team but got dropped out
we always played like high mmr/ even streamer/ pro
got 81% WR in my whole game.
I CANT HELP IT IF I PLAY FUCKING WITH PUBS THAT CANT DO ANYTHING
Ohhh? Ok
Chien pao?
You have lots of physical so sword of ruin
LIKE IF I PLAYED SUPP, THE CARRY DOES LITERALLY NO DAMAGE NO FARM OR FARM BUT NO FIGHT
IF I PLAYED CARRY, THE TEAM DOESNT EVEN BOTHER HELPING ME 
uh me tilt basically
i should add special attackers right
Even if it isnât the most meta comfort is good to make sure they do okay
my stats 
thats mobile legends tho 
And damn nice
dota looks more cool
Oh
Semi pro mobile legends players đ
I forget mobile legends has community sometimes Ngl
Yeah that just looks too clean and modern to be dota that I knew
amoonguss/rilla seems nice btw

oh nvm theres clef so amoonguss nono
hearthflame and rilla type double up
not really a problem, i was thinking on who would be able to play around with fairies / flutter
also with terrain = can play with glide spam firepon
also gets FO
okeh so hereâs what i have
https://pokepast.es/aa7161d59e5e28f6
i donât wanna be deleted into the ground by intimidate
With rilla flying gets scary vs the team but thatâs like only torn so
acro moon hurricane peli
Oo lati
Uh
Farig?
Moon isnât that popular but peli yeah
Forgot them oops
Donât the latinas have that signature item that boosts dragon and psychic moves
They have something yeah
I just know nova used enough lati that I trusted she has a reason lmao
Soul Dew
went with cloak instead of lorb
Latinas đđ
We love latinas @bold geode
I just missed out on the January Challenges from victory road is there a way I can just like set it so that way I get a notification whenever a new tournament has been announced?
following them on twitter or joining their discord is the easiest way
shadow-
rest in peace year of shadow
Regardless of year shadow still loves latinas
Got a good game and movie outta it 
give us year of Silver
That would be cool
please give my sweet boy some more screen time thatâs not Sonic 06
His design is nice
Please-
I was legit about to say as long as it isnât â06
https://pokepast.es/209bf81454eb15ac is eleki worth keeping now that i added iron val? itâs felt off but iâve always really liked it, been thinking of giving it light screen for some extra utility
if anyone feels like cheesing the bo1 ladder with CIR try this team out and let me know what you think https://pokepast.es/47cb000734fb2fca
takes a bit to get the feel of but currently 25-4 on a smurf
Love the power band Urshifu, I see it once in a while and that is the grossest way to play TR
not necessarily, the speed control into stuff like miraidon is still nice
and gives your team to hit otherwise annoying bulky water types
thatâs sort of why i was still wanting to keep it + attachment
speed control is nice for zama too since it takes one eweb for cir to outspeed rilla, and lando to outspeed pao and zama
wait i said not necessarily but i meant to keep it oops hahaha
yeah eleki + CIR is really nice into rilla
but Iâve also found urshifu-R + rilla leads to be annoying
because they can just fake out + strikes you
but you have amoonguss on the team to try and deal with that
Hey Iâm kind of playing with that team well I was, I changed it up tho
what do you think of light screen over volt switch? i havent found myself using it very often and i feel like that could offer some extra bulk to the team
I changed eleki to flutter entirely
thatâs fair
I didnât like getting outsped by booster flutters
they serve similar purposes as fast speed control
It already felt like it did little to no damage into stuff but you could try
I changed Lando to chi yu yes
This was already a team tho too at worlds that I didnât know
itâs worth testing something over volt switch, because tbh the team does not have anything you can really volt switch into besides amoonguss
or maybe CIR

I canât wait for double restricted itâll be my first time
itâll be fun as long as itâs not a year long or more
True that, definitely too long
iâm super curious how they handle the rest of this games lifespan
theyâve got probably 1.5-2 years left
unless something has been cooking behind the scenes without announcement
Iâm gonna scream into your ear
TCG on cart and they fully remove VGC 
New comp scene boom
:)
She held up to her word
yea thereâs not many more formats to work with
either repeat the last few regs or like ban tera
Double restricted next is most likely
I think a Tera less format could be neat
Lots of mons are Tera hogs it would be small meta change
yea aside from that i meant my bad
I think like a lower power format would be better with no Tera
double restricted feels like a lock as reg i
I wonder whoâs Iâm gonna pick for reg I
Maybe Lunala and Groudon
Groudon/miraidon
Kyogre/ice rider
Zacian/shadow rider man I just donât know
caly ice miraidopn
Mirai/Ice Rider
Oh-
"guys I found this unique pair"
I wonder who will be the friend of my Zamazenta
shadow rider?
csr maybe
Maybe Miraidon
i like the idea of cir zama
CSR Zama is broke so yeh is probable
i dont think itâll be that good
Zama is just gonna be an amazing second restricted no matter
but theyâre my two fav restricteds
Its a good idea tho they are both physical
Wide guard and heavy fucking damage with decent enough typing and bulk heâs just too good all round
That he pairs well with tons
Zama CIR sounds cool too
Zama and Lunala fighting for the 6th slot of the team
Lmfao real
Wait just
LUNALA ZAMA THATS IT
neither of the mons mentioned have hands
Lunala has like claws
https://pokepast.es/d4bf995c36f763fc đȘ đȘ đȘ
you should be extra original and add urshifu
Hands
Damn
She doesn't has thumbs
I thought she had like a small finger

good heavens,,,,,,
Bro is figuring out something like a lot of people already did 
I was just kidding lol
And other duos with them as a secondary will prob be better than the two together
i still remember trying to get iron bundle miraidon to work in the beginning of regulation g
Uh huh
:(
https://pokepast.es/5fb82c4f93e902af guys im so unique with my team
it was at this point he knew... he fucked up
That HAS to be a joke
nope, they obviously did not stick around for BO3 and quit after my double nuke lol
what the heck is that Fluttet Set
A mistake clearly đ€Ł
End my Suffering
Either they hate flutter and wanted to punish it or severely fucked up đ€Ł
their team comp also trash

im so lunala pilled rn
Damn thatâs bros 2nd Lunala
I recognized that team
Iâm burnt out from ladder havnt played in like 2 weeks
Currently figuring out what I wanna do next
pway this lunala team maya

ye its a big pizza
IS THAT A FOREIGN?
What kind of pizzas are you eating
Itâs obvious a croissant
Ew Lunala spam
its fun
i believe in wanting to win
People doubting Caly Ice
So stupid
Watch
It's gonna win and then everyone gonna be like "oh yeah Caly Ice is so good, I believed in it all along"
No ya didn't
Itâs just getting boring
Ice rider just became too common
Once again, your definition of boring and mine are completely different
No yours just sucks too much
Iâm kidding
Bet
I donât know if anyone who plays ladder alot doubts how terrifying it is
Guy makes me cry
I've seen a guy complaining about wolf cheating on YouTube. Since I'm new to all this. What is the general opinion ? Think it was verlisify if that rings any bells. Guy seems hella toxic
Oh that guyâŠ
Even if he's right. He just insults everyone
Eh could care less
I mean for as much as Verlis is a rumormonger, Wolfe is generally a piece of shit
Verlisify just another narcissist who feeds off the drama, but he has an audience
Iâm not gonna take either of them serious
The hell did he do?
Its not like the guy is doing anything insane
His points are like "his team his cheated BC it has perfect ivs and things" but even if gened, it's not outside the scope of the games with bottle caps. I asked a question and the guy bit my head off with no backing himself up. Does it all through comment section too đ
Yeah
He got hit for the hack check at worlds when there was that mass ban
And perfect nature which is also doable
Wolfey?
Ye iirc
Those guys are just sum dusty, crusty, musty hoes that need to shower
Lol
Why was he allowed to continue?
Poster child maybe ?
Duhhhhhhh
Looking back at it Iâm glad I didnât actually invest my time in it
Good thing I never achieved the results I wanted
Like "Top 32 was all using hacked mons, but we'll just let it through because it's more effort to get 33-64"
Iv never really heard of that happening was it mentioned somewhere or was there a list of people?
Like I wonât dismiss but I donât really have any proof either
Thatâs Iâm just like- meh
I basically just told the guy, if he's cheating, just beat him fair and square. Like his teams aren't unfair as in impossible stats and sets so just win I guess. If he consistently makes it too the end, he's still gotta be skilled. If his friends are throwing matches to let him go further, they've still gotta be decent to be in that position. That's my opinion on it
So for the guy complaining. Just get better and win
TL;DR a shitton of people got caught genning mons
What sort of trace is on them for the game to pick up ?
Oh I know I was wondering about wolfey being one them
People not doing their due diligence to make it legal
Wolfeys true form
Like is there proof on that
Yeah whereâs the proof âïžđ€
Itâs completely reasonable to ask
Well yeah
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=P2lqtO4D1ko&pp=ygUKI3F2Z2N5dnlxdQ%3D%3D
He was defending the cheaters
Wolfey VGC made a video about lots of controversy at the World Championships this year, let's talk about it. Wolfe Glick has a long history of using hacked Pokemon and cheating at official Pokemon VGC Events as well as unofficial Pokemon Tournaments, so its no surprise WolfeyVGC Defends cheating in Pokemon VGC... and has the worst arguments imag...
So like the diancie I traded for in this discord with wrong ot, language and ribbon combo. Still bummed about that one đ
gasp
Yeah, it's shit like this
Iâm not gonna listen to whatever that mf has to say
I should've checked. Spent weeks shiny hunting in apriballs for it
hands proof over
it's not approved proof
Just because you don't like the messenger doesn't mean the message ain't true booboo
I mean if thatâs the only reason
Its a bit of a wild stretch to say heâs cheating
His teams been data mined I believe
But you shouldnât go around saying someone is a cheater with nothing but speculation
But like it saves time. Personally I hate gened stuff but realistically it doesn't provide an unfair advantage since u can quite easily get a perfect mon using items now so skill is still definitely needed. Scummy yes but he's not more likely to win BC of it
Heâs made that point already
Like what else is new
And to say someone is a piece of shit on top of that isnât cool
Interesting to see how others feel on this. Sorry if it's annoyed people
I want facts
Do we know the facts exactly or is it people trying to make drama?
Because it just makes one look less credible or someone who wonât hope off his meat
Little bro, I'm from the days where it was assumed everyone was cheating.
So is Wolfe
Probably both
verlisify at least just wants to ensue drama to try to revive his long dead channel
My cousin had a game shark and damn was my b&w full of shinies in masterballs when I was a kid
genning saves two days or so MAX and itâs not like showdown isnât a practice tool available for everyone
If you know what's best
You keep that sorta talk about genning and cheating AND that guy specifically out of this chat
i just think the whole genning debate is stupid
Key word âif you know whatâs bestâ
True. I've already shiny hunted with titles and set EVs and IVs on half my first team in 2 days. Hella proud. Not a good team but it works
just causes division for no purpose
Itâs always gonna be like this
Anyways genning will not be discussed in this server period so I suggest we drop this topic
Can people be banned for discussing others cheating ?
Ah fairs
I was just kinda curious so I asked. It's kinda my bad. Sorry
all good
Imma be honest I didnât know either but no one ever mentioned it so I guess thatâs why
And also keep that one guy outta here, dude is just a cuck for clout and as soon as y'all realize that he is that and that his opinion genuinely isn't worth anything, then you'll know
But keep that talk outta here regardless
I kinda stumbled upon him by accident yesterday đ
Anyways
Sorry for your loss
So I was mainly asking if he's someone I shouldn't give the time of day
Yes
Uh what was the topic before?
Basically just
If you know
You know
Super arsey to everyone in comments including myself just picking holes in what he said
Well I wanted to argue with reasoning
Lettuce not
Don't even give him that
We are better than this
Roger roger đ«Ą
Genuinely better if you avoid the topic than to engage in it
I'd been watching a fair bit of wolf recently along side some other stuff to learn doubles better so when I saw some accusations, I was curious and thought I'd pick holes in what he said to see if he could expand which ofc he couldn't and started throwing insults sooo yeah
I'll avoid the Chanel in future
Yeah
Anyways what was it before we got on this dumbass topic
Oh yeah this
Nah I see some people saying it's fraudulent due to it not doing well and I'm like "you fools"
Like did we not learn from Miraidon and CSR
Those are people not looking at Caly-I usage rates at high ELO
Mainly they're looking at VR tours which do have a good amount of high skill players tbf
So like the source ain't invalid, it's just like
Lemme be clear
The ONLY reason why Caly Ice is struggling is because of MU prep
honestly itâs good that you brought that up, imagine if you had kept consuming that content. i feel like most of his fans consumed no other vgc content and thus have a skewed and sort of tunnel vision opinions regarding all that drama
also the strong cir players arenât participating in these vr tours
Ye people call things fraud for the smallest reasons
alex underhill, jeudy, yuta, navjit, basically anyone that day 2d worlds with it
people callin things fraud because they arnt trendy at the moment
Or for some vague reason
Oh no some are
But when a lot of the people doing well is Zam or CSR with decent MUs into it like
What you gonna do
âMiraidon not good cus paradox future not goodâ
Like even Zam is following now what is probably one of the best CIR comps there is
terapagos rising also hurts cir indirectly, more terapagos means more zama to counter it
what youâre saying is 100% true too though
Like not only that but CIR was 2nd at Worlds AND did good in other departments
Only makes sense that you prep for that
Hell my Rayquaza team I tried early December this time
Had like
3 things to fuck with it + Fire Tera on Ray
Tera bug ray
Caterpie
Why do you hurt me so
Tera bug hands
You didn't need to post this
There is currently someone on showdown at the 1500 range running alolan muk and it makes me sick
Now Tera Bug Iron Hands is pretty fuckin good
y
We could have gone without the brainrot of Tera Bug Ray
Honestly yeah no 
đ
Real ones don't know the validation of Tera Bug Heatran
Tera Normal is the only real Tera on Ray
Or real ones know
But tbh bug is one of the best teras to battle Caly Ice
Fire is probably alright too
Water or bug are the best
Ideally you kill what is going to Wisp you
Honestly tbh your Rayquaza team should be able to not bring Rayquaza to CIR and still do decent
real meta stuff right here
Rayquaza should go to that MU the least
Honestly CIR is why I don't play Ray this format
Ideally you live more Fire and Fairy attacks and don't get burned by a stray Sacred Fire cuz Entei go hard
those tera normal espeeds ruin cir teamsâ lives if thereâs no farig
I wish Ray Hitmontop which I did was better 
I'd have to calc E-Killer into Entei
Is Yotam still running Rayquaza
Honestly Ray Pao Ursh ain't bad as offense lol
No he dropped that shit IMMEDIATELY LMFAO
252+ Tera Normal should be a kill shot into Entei no?
Oh good
Hell even I don't believe in Rayquaza anymore
I only believe in the top 10 restricteds
I've got enough Jack in the house to believe in Ray
It's problem is that it feels very middle of the road which in a single restricted format you just don't want
Any restricted that is not one of those 10 is just for fun imo
I could've used you months ago brother ngl
Unless marcofiero gets like top 8 with Zekrom cuz yeah he is that guy
Zekrom gets TW guys, it's hard 
Idk, my issue with Ray is he is all in, but locked to Clam
Thank you for not mentioning Meteor Beam
IT GETS METEOR BEAM?
I totally forgotâŠ
Brother that was a whole fucking set LMAO
Meteor Beam 
I remember in reg H
Like i was playing this Volc Clefable team
And i leaded Volca Clef into an Archaludon and something more i don't remember
Turn 1 is just quiver dance follow me and then i discover my opp's archa is power herb stalwart meteor beam
And volcarona fucking died
I donât like meteor beam because itâs so one and done
