[wispy spade]

[left bobcat]

Actually hold on a second-

[real prairie]

i really enjoy malamar, topsy turvy absolutely shits on set up lol

[left bobcat]

I might be on to something

[cyan smelt]

Malamar shits on dozo especially

[real prairie]

apart from the fact your weather is disabled 🤣

[left bobcat]

This mf knows meteor beam?

[cyan smelt]

With topsy turvy

[left bobcat]

Wellllllll

[wispy spade]

oh, i didn't think of that

[left bobcat]

Power herb meteor beam

[real prairie]

also a set ive seen

[left bobcat]

Yes yes- I CAN SEE IT

tail room

I CAN SEE

[cyan smelt]

Doesn't lunala do that better

[real prairie]

but then just run Lunala lol

[left bobcat]

Well it doesn’t hurt to try something different

[real prairie]

You are talking to a Ludicolo player... i get you bro, dw

[left bobcat]

Lunala is basically my go to so I’m sure one little change wouldn’t hurt

[wispy spade]

does a sucker punch kill lunala through shield?

[left bobcat]

No

It’ll do a good chunk

[real prairie]

no, Lunala is annoyingly tanky

[wispy spade]

[left bobcat]

Barely survived a wicked blow

[real prairie]

tera stellar sucker punch might do the job

with Chien Pao sword of ruin that is

[cyan smelt]

Lunala is always tera fairy

[left bobcat]

I run Tera water

[real prairie]

serious lack of non restricted steel types in the meta atm, Urshifu scared them all off

[cyan smelt]

Tera fairy moonblast

[real prairie]

but would be good considering how many tera fairy mons there are atm

[cyan smelt]

How about hoodra

[left bobcat]

Hood

Goodra but from the hood

[wispy spade]

isn't archaleudon a thing anymore?

[left bobcat]

Hoodra

[left bobcat]

who?

[wispy spade]

steel dragon

[left bobcat]

Sounds like an old relic

[real prairie]

exactly zero brought to B'ham lol

[cyan smelt]

Archaludon gets destroyed by Zama, Groudon, miraidon and caly I, it's barely a thing

[real prairie]

nah, power crept

[left bobcat]

Nah I’m kidding you might- MIGHT see a arch in a Kyogre team

Besides Groudon and lando exits

[wispy spade]

how can a monster like that even get power crept?

[real prairie]

Urshu eats it up with guaranteed crits

[wispy spade]

it's less than a year old

[left bobcat]

This isn’t reg h with all the little babies

[real prairie]

Flutter likes to make it go boom

[cyan smelt]

Most pseudos get power crept in restricted formats

[real prairie]

tons of SpAtk restricted mons

[left bobcat]

ayyy I just saw your subreddit post

[chrome knot]

https://tenor.com/view/sad-cat-gif-6906939104301495025

[solid frigate]

wait what post

[next stump]

check r/VGC

[real prairie]

Nice one!

[next stump]

at first I was like “damn someone else is using ludi??”

[solid frigate]

Yep i saw

i mean Jack’s Team is so much more interesting than what i bring lmao

+Ludicolo doing so well is beyond most expectations

[solid frigate]

i think there is only one Ludicolo team lmao

[charred saddle]

theres other

iirc someone did say something along that last time

[real prairie]

my goat even got a signature moment, muddy water dropping miraidon accuracy saving my Kyogre from a volt switch

[solid frigate]

The only insane moment i got is i drifted on the Switch in Zamazenta

otherwise is just OHKO Tera Ground Blast from Iron Crown killed Groudon

[real prairie]

thats pretty cool

[solid frigate]

yeah but yours is more epik

[chrome knot]

gonna keep asking till i remember💀 @next stump vancouver?

[real prairie]

oh?

[charred saddle]

might be wrong, but i remember someone said that u need x amounts of win to be the best ludi player there

[solid frigate]

next time if i join a regional i might go ballsy on my team lmao

[charred saddle]

or is it about the whole regulations in context

i wasnt paying attentioon at the context that time

[real prairie]

Oh yeah, the old team

that went 5-4 in LAIC

[solid frigate]

Yeah we just betting on it lmao

[next stump]

no unfortunately no vancouver 😦

[charred saddle]

ooh

[chrome knot]

oahh where to next?

[charred saddle]

so only 1 ludi in the bham regionals?

nice nice haha

[chrome knot]

i assume ill see you in milwaukee bc thats close asf to you

[next stump]

ye for sure milwaukee, probably atlanta, and definitely NAIC if i can get in

[chrome knot]

same

[solid frigate]

somehow i become the Underrated one

[chrome knot]

maybe not atlanta but, Milwaukee & NAIC for sure

[next stump]

I hope they have hella seats open for NAIC

[left bobcat]

I choose me

[solid frigate]

i mean its NAIC

It should have loads

[next stump]

I hope so but it will definitely sell out unfortuntaely

[solid frigate]

just be quick lol

[left bobcat]

Yeah it comes with eggwuh

[solid frigate]

Round 6 Groudon Team be like after my Miraidon Team beat their crap

[real prairie]

dont be me, don't miss out on EUIC by not paying attention to when tickets went live

i almost missed B'ham for the same reason LOL

[next stump]

do you think you'll try to attend more events next year?

[real prairie]

Next year? Im looking at the rest of the EU regionals atm 🤣

think i can probably make it to 1 or 2

plus GC

[charred saddle]

with ludicolo again?

[real prairie]

GC maybe, not sure about other regionals

[next stump]

I feel like attending regionals is so fun

hard not to get addicted after one or two

[real prairie]

I had a whale of a time until my last opponent

[solid frigate]

at least Me anc Jack are doing GCs rn

i'm still thinking which team i am going

[next stump]

there's usually one or two stinkers in a given tournament run

[real prairie]

I have yet to begin team building lol

[real prairie]

People who are over competitive but not very good 🤣

[solid frigate]

i built two teams already

[solid frigate]

dude i only have a comeback during round 6

[next stump]

here's the issue IMO, and maybe this is not politically correct to say

pokemon tends to attract a lot of socially awkward people

which is great

but when you get those people in a hyper competitive setting, sometimes they show frustration/anger/excitement in very negative ways

I once had a guy at a small local tournament literally YELL at a girl for beating him because he never lost to girls

[charred saddle]

holy hell

[real prairie]

oh this chap wasn't the regular socially awkward, difficult with reading people or commiciating type

[solid frigate]

i literally said dude its Pokemon,everyone here is weird
And my opponent just agreed on it lmao

[next stump]

luckily he got banned from the store but those interactions are not super uncommon

[real prairie]

see as bad as that is you can tell from the beat theres a reason for that behaviour as wrong as it is

forcing someone to quit instead of playing a game out is just being a prat

tbh i should have carried on the stall in hindsight

you wanna double protect on me ill just protect the next turn 🤣

but at that point it is what it is

but alas, ive mentioned it enough, don't want to come across salty. he won fair and square

[solid frigate]

wait who got banned-

[real prairie]

^

[next stump]

just some random player from my area

[solid frigate]

holy hell-

[next stump]

he wasn't anyone known or good

[solid frigate]

this is literally just sexist

[next stump]

but yeah... very very tense situation and unfortunately the girl has since stopped attending our locals

can't blame her at all 😦

[real prairie]

thats really sad

[solid frigate]

dude he should fight nova

That will make him spontaenously combust

[real prairie]

im the sort of person that would end up reaching out to her somehow and inviting her back and doing my utmost to ensure she had a great time lol

[next stump]

on a more upbeat note, idk how it is in EU regionals but at least for NA, there seem to be a LOT more girls signing up and playing

[solid frigate]

thats good mentatily

[next stump]

Toronto had at least 30 or 40 from just me sitting near and talking to some

[solid frigate]

Yeah i saw a lot more girls in B'Ham so yeah the influx is nice to have

[real prairie]

Lots of gender fluid/transitioning people @ B'ham too which is cool, im glad Pokemon is an environment they can be comfortable

[solid frigate]

yeah

[next stump]

I think it helps a lot that pokemon as a franchise is so inclusive

and people like Wolfey are very welcoming faces of the community

my fiancee watched Wolfey's worlds video with me and she has zero clue how competitive works outside of incineroar = bad

[solid frigate]

Incin=bad lmao

[real prairie]

I like Wolfe in terms of his play-style and personality but as a entertainer he can be a bit dry to watch.

but same can be said for lots of competitive players.

the ones with bigger personalities tend to focus there energy on the content over the tournaments

[solid frigate]

mhm

[real prairie]

M&Jtv and PM7 for example

[solid frigate]

PM7 feels more Comp than Michael

[real prairie]

because he was at one point lol

[solid frigate]

yeah ik

[real prairie]

Acrobatics Chien Pao actually works really well 🤣

[solid frigate]

wtf

[real prairie]

this is the EUIC pokemon center exclusive merch

[summer shore]

Is this for the tcg dillon

[next stump]

it's for anyone who's there in person but yeah the mat is used in the TCG

they never have any video game stuff 😦

no switch cases or anything

[summer shore]

Damn if only ygo got anything anywhere near that

😭

[solid frigate]

TPCI:VG is the most Anticipated section,we put it in Last

Also TPCI:TCG go brrrrrr

[next stump]

TCG is a money printer unfortunately

[summer shore]

Tcg appeals to the most people outside of gameplay so

Not surprising

[next stump]

we're lucky that VGC tournaments even exist hahaha

[solid frigate]

wish they treat VGC more better

[torn parrot]

I think flat earthers exist because they’re really bored

Just lead Genie and Weasel/Jet with Fish + anything in back. A bot could play this and it won me the most games out of any strategy I tried today.

It went 8-2

I hate this game

[fathom geyser]

Any neat lunala team I can steal?

[torn parrot]

Okidogi is so cool and underrated

I think he’s rad af

[bold geode]

Hello @summer shore

[summer shore]

Hi monke

[bold geode]

I much prefer NecoArc Thousand Miles cover

[bold geode]

How is Shiro

[charred saddle]

damn i lost my old lunala balance team

[summer shore]

Playing dlc rn

[bold geode]

Lunala Incin Rilla boom ez

[bold geode]

Poggers

[gentle crag]

dollarmonke has given 1 Gen Rep to shi.ro.

[bold geode]

That might be the first time I have ever unironically said poggers

Actually no it ain't

[summer shore]

Ive been mostly playing yugioh tho

Dlc was simply purchased today

[fathom geyser]

DM it

[fathom geyser]

What does he do?

[charred saddle]

https://pokepast.es/c79d2288a7a51ea0

probably something like this

i remember i used lunala incin rilla bm, i just dont really remember the spread

also im quite tempted to use CM bm ursaluna

just dont know what i should drop, dropping blood moon seems okay, but like 140 bp is just straight up insane

rocky helmet incin, safety goggles shifu with taunt also might be a good alternative now that i think about it

to play around amoonguss CIR

yeah ill do that

also thinking on how to play against amoonguss with the lack of SE to it

[molten oasis]

Explain

[craggy dagger]

calm mind tera fairy moonblast blursa

[charred saddle]

eh i prob not go there

[molten oasis]

Would you not get walled by steel types

[charred saddle]

i still need the normal tera to play around CSR

so i was thinking CM protect hyper voice EP

[solid frigate]

thats somewhat actually interesting

[molten oasis]

Ground coverage>

[charred saddle]

and just fuck them up if they think im gonna go TR

sike, cm bitch

[solid frigate]

CM Set Ursa holy Leo what are you cooking

[charred saddle]

1 cm and thats all it takes to fuck them up

but yeah its just a food for thought thing currently

[molten oasis]

Assuming you get one up

[charred saddle]

well getting one up isnt hard with 1 redirection of clef + 2 FO

[craggy dagger]

EP moonblast blood moon

[charred saddle]

its more of a what to do with it after

no TR = not doing hits before them

[craggy dagger]

fairy resists fighting too

[charred saddle]

gets hit multiple time is ouch

[summer shore]

Dk if it will last on the field long enough to justify dropping blood moon lol

[charred saddle]

yeah thats also true

[summer shore]

Blood moon bp basically matches a cm hvo

[charred saddle]

140 bp is just too insane

im just thinking along the lines of if they rotect in front of blood moon pressure and getting CM off is huge

especially with FO around

especially if they cant OHKO big bear

[molten oasis]

But blood moon

And spread

[charred saddle]

and im like able to play kinda slow with 2 FO and clef heals/redirect/FG

or should i be even more funny and do stellar tera

stellar tera cm bloodmoon ursa

[craggy dagger]

you might as well as just go tera normal then-

[charred saddle]

+1 196+ SpA Life Orb Mind's Eye Tera-Normal Ursaluna-Bloodmoon Helping Hand Hyper Voice vs. 180 HP / 4 SpD Calyrex-Shadow Rider: 242-286 (122.2 - 144.4%) -- guaranteed OHKO

hhmm so it takes quite a lot of stuff

[craggy dagger]

gets rid of a couple weaknesses and boosts the move

[charred saddle]

oo ye ye, im doing normal tera

eh ill do the calcs and thinking later

[charred saddle]

i saved up quite a bit mom

[craggy dagger]

damn-

the ancestor launcher

[charred saddle]

ancestor?

launched

[torn parrot]

I considered it before because I wanted a nice fat av mon that could beat out incin and could take flutter and/or chi yu neutrally but it was really cool to see it in practice used on that worlds team emma was playing with

[charred saddle]

yeah +1 shhould OHKO it consistently

[next stump]

all this talk about lunala/okidogi

[molten oasis]

incin fake out parting shot will o wisp/ flare blitz knock off

goggles/rocky helm/sitrus berry

evs depend on the item and team generally

[dense latch]

amoong is spore/rage powder then a pick between pollen puff, clear smog, protect, and sludge bomb for the last slots

[molten oasis]

what about leaf storm

[dense latch]

rocky helmet or cloak

[real prairie]

i was trying to work out how you went first inside and outside of TR

why did they double TR lol

[solid frigate]

Dialga is slower than that Eternatus from the Specs Set in Stream

so the reveresed TR

since Dialga and Jugilus are in polar opposite speed tiers,Trick Rooming or no its a death sentence for that Eternatus

[real prairie]

fair, gg

[real prairie]

Can't see to push this team over 1500, some revisions needed. Ill start PASRS with it tomorrow

but there is a LOT more niche stuff on ladder now compared to pre B'ham

i think its because you also kinda not really familiar with Specs Set?

Moonblast the Kyogre and don't tera Tsarenna

[real prairie]

yeah it was foolish

tried to encore it into protect

I thought about iron valiant on groudon teams, but there is not one team on labmaus (other than a top 831), but they seem to have nice synergy. Am I missing something?

[shadow wind]

https://pokepast.es/7f882df0a6522828

Just cuz other people haven’t done well with it doesn’t mean u can’t 🙂

[molten oasis]

Lost ti kleavor torkoal oranguru and the most boring CSR team comp of all time this is going GREAT

[shadow wind]

Also what are peoples' opinions on Volcarona?

I feel like that mon is always underutilized

[balmy glen]

it’s always broken but not broken

[near crag]

I'm heavily biased, cuz I've been the number one volcarona hater since it's release, but I do need to say it has some actually great uses; pretty sure i've seen it on CIR and zama teams, but I could be trippin

[shadow wind]

That is like the perfect way to describe it

Just looked at Bham teams and counted 3

[balmy glen]

Its like always the perfect anti meta cuz at some point in every reg it will become too physical attacking heavy then u get rid of it when its not lol

[shadow wind]

CIR hates it

And so does Zama

[near crag]

Also no one accounts for bug weaknesses on a team

[shadow wind]

That's cause ain't no one usin bug moves

Volcarona is perfect support

Last time I saw a Volcarona sweep with QD was when I played ranbats

Did the damage calc just update?

[molten oasis]

[solid frigate]

Wdym just E Drift it was a Assumption

[molten oasis]

[shadow wind]

If they tera fire

You E drift it

[molten oasis]

if groudon is infront of oger and tera's edrift eradicates it

[shadow wind]

It will kill

[solid frigate]

its during the time that they haven’t Tera yet

[shadow wind]

Exactly

[molten oasis]

so wood hammer the guy

[shadow wind]

Ivy cudgel does like 80

[molten oasis]

or that

[solid frigate]

[shadow wind]

Tera Ivy cudgel always kills

I’m just givin routes but yeah if you don’t wanna talk bout it it’s all good

[molten oasis]

+1 172 Atk Tera-Fire Ogerpon-Hearthflame Ivy Cudgel (1.2x Mask Boost) vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Tera-Fire Groudon in Sun: 104-123 (50.2 - 59.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO this mon is so dumb lmfao

[solid frigate]

at least i got my redemption in round 6

[shadow wind]

True

[solid frigate]

mine is 76Atk

[jade dust]

Ah a Miraidon

[shadow wind]

That’s against a Tera fire don

[molten oasis]

+1 76 Atk Tera-Fire Ogerpon-Hearthflame Ivy Cudgel (1.2x Mask Boost) vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Tera-Fire Groudon in Sun: 96-114 (46.3 - 55%) -- 67.58% chance to 2HKO thats still so dumb lmao

[shadow wind]

This is not fair 😭😭

[molten oasis]

yk what else isnt fair

[shadow wind]

I can’t even use flash fire against it

[molten oasis]

252 Atk Orichalcum Pulse Tera-Fire Koraidon Collision Course (Super Effective) vs. 108 HP / 148 Def Kyurem-White: 291-344 (135.9 - 160.7%) -- guaranteed OHKO cough

[jade dust]

Dont you have a move that never misses?

[solid frigate]

it would be funny i have Heatran instead of Fire pon

[cyan smelt]

why not tera grass heatran

[molten oasis]

wati wrong move

[shadow wind]

Mold breaker

[molten oasis]

76 SpA Choice Specs Turboblaze Kyurem-White Draco Meteor vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Tera-Fire Koraidon: 184-217 (104.5 - 123.2%) -- guaranteed OHKO

[shadow wind]

Me??

[molten oasis]

[solid frigate]

Me

[shadow wind]

Better be you

[solid frigate]

and only Draco Meteor is the move that miss

well Icy Wind as well but like it never misses anyway on my run so

[shadow wind]

I miss Pblades, High horsepowers, Sacred fires, and Dracos

Not on the current team though

Thankfully perish song can’t miss

[molten oasis]

76 SpA Choice Specs Turboblaze Tera-Fire Kyurem-White Fusion Flare vs. 252 HP / 100 SpD Zamazenta-Crowned: 198-234 (99.4 - 117.5%) -- 93.75% chance to OHKO i also find this pretty funny

specs kyurem does, so much damage

[shadow wind]

Dang

I mean

Imagine giving CIR a choice band

[solid frigate]

Shut up

[molten oasis]

bah no we dont think about horses

kyurem's cooler

[shadow wind]

Only horse I know is high horsepower

[jade dust]

Who the fuck would do that

[molten oasis]

gamers

that like losing to incin

[shadow wind]

The CTS’ers

[solid frigate]

If people uses AV CIR or Never Melting Ice CIR then idk maybe

[shadow wind]

Max speed Tera ice banded glacial Lance? Sounds dandy to me

[jade dust]

cohice band means no protect and no way to hit anything with wide guard

[charred saddle]

letsgo

turbo CIR TW choice band

[shadow wind]

Miraidon literally runs specs dgleam

The wide guard has zero meaning

[molten oasis]

position good

good positioning=winning

[solid frigate]

or just nuke it

[jade dust]

with volt switch too

[molten oasis]

[shadow wind]

It gets so many moves

[molten oasis]

not that it wants to, be cycling

[shadow wind]

Me waiting for the expanding force CIR

[jade dust]

I agree

[molten oasis]

caly wants to stay on the field

generally

[jade dust]

Choice band is a terrible choice

Just use clear amulet

[shadow wind]

It wasn’t meant to be taken seriously 😭😭😭

[jade dust]

Lol ok

[molten oasis]

specs kyurem is kind of a joke lol

[shadow wind]

I’ve played against one

[charred saddle]

CIR band is a good move wdym?

[solid frigate]

that we forced Upon

[charred saddle]

imagine the damage

[molten oasis]

but i also like it

[shadow wind]

Yeah just run Weezing to stop intimidate

[molten oasis]

stop

[shadow wind]

Or baton pass a substitute to it

[charred saddle]

yeah ofc

[shadow wind]

Wait I cooked

[molten oasis]

you've gone too far i dont feel like fighting band CIR with weezing

weezing already pisses me off

[shadow wind]

Drifblim grassy seed substitute then baton pass to banded CIR

You’re welcome guys, I just made the meta

[solid frigate]

i wish i can record Iron Crown Nuking Groudon at the Spot during Round 6 but i was too excited on that lmao

[jade dust]

Yeah fuck weezing

[shadow wind]

CSR Weezing is annoying

You need a scarfer for it

[molten oasis]

im also running fake tears a9 with specs kyurem

[jade dust]

I tried to make another team than caly ice for this season but I failed lmfao

[molten oasis]

because its funny to have the option to giga nuke everything

[jade dust]

Ive been using Caly ice for too long

[solid frigate]

Dude just use other restricteds

[molten oasis]

why

just be really good with 1

[solid frigate]

at least that gives your knowledge on how that team plays

[solid frigate]

do you know why i forced to use CSR against my Will-

[knotty mirage]

Does anyone have best build for galarian zapdos in this reg ?

[shadow wind]

I have only used Groudon

[jade dust]

I tried but they dont feel as fun or to fit my style as much as caly ice

I have always been a trick room player

[shadow wind]
