[molten oasis]

i cannot wait to play zacian kyurem for a day and realize its shit and go suffer playing CSR zac

[jade dust]

I prefer reversing the speed

[knotty mirage]

You mean CSR and zam

[molten oasis]

i play zacian

[shadow wind]

I’m just waiting for the day I run Lunala Groudon

[molten oasis]

i dont play zama

[shadow wind]

Or Groudon Zacian

Sounds deadly

[molten oasis]

what does zacian do for groudon

[jade dust]

My condolences

[shadow wind]

Hit all the stupid guys

[jade dust]

The best pokemon ever made is underwheling now

[molten oasis]

like

[shadow wind]

Grimmsnarl

[cyan smelt]

ogerpon says hi

[shadow wind]

😔

[molten oasis]

yea great pairing

[shadow wind]

Hey it ain’t awful

[molten oasis]

idk if kyogre zac is gonna be any strong

[shadow wind]

Groudon Lunala is kind of what I’m betting on though

[molten oasis]

like, on paper it seems fine cuz zac covers for bolt and rilla pretty well

[knotty mirage]

Because if youre the best like no one ever was it only matter of times when you got nerfed

[molten oasis]

and kyogre helps with incin a lot

[shadow wind]

Not the horses

[molten oasis]

but i also have no idea how strong kyogre is gonna end up being

[solid frigate]

i used Terapagos,Kyogre,Lunala,Miraidon,Dialga,Dawn Wings Necrozma,Zacian,Zamazenta

And CSR against My Will but its Luna and Nova pulled me into it so why not ig

[shadow wind]

Actually one horse got nerfed

[lofty tartan]

[knotty mirage]

The horse is different case here sadly

[jade dust]

@shadow wind ^^^

[molten oasis]

hi mika

[shadow wind]

Glacial Lance used to be 130 BP

[knotty mirage]

It fusion of 2 mon and a DLC pokemon

[jade dust]

Not Urshifu either

[shadow wind]

Can you imagine

[cyan smelt]

oh no mika is here to scam my pokemon

[solid frigate]

But its on their Move so yeah

I think buffs and Nerfs

They got buff on average anyways

[lofty tartan]

Booga Booga

[charred saddle]

oh no the pokemon scammer is here

[shadow wind]

Nah they got BP reductions I think

[molten oasis]

man

[solid frigate]

hey Mika

[molten oasis]

can we just make the moves have a chance to miss

[shadow wind]

100%

[molten oasis]

or lower an attack stat, i like this one the most

[jade dust]

BP?

[shadow wind]

Literally

[solid frigate]

Base Power

[shadow wind]

Base power

[jade dust]

Ah

[molten oasis]

big power

[jade dust]

Only dark

[shadow wind]

Right that’s what I thought

Couldn’t remember if water got it too

[molten oasis]

big parrot

[solid frigate]

BEEG power

[jade dust]

Water was always better imo

[solid frigate]

Fire:

[jade dust]

Surging strikes was always better move

[molten oasis]

i might have to drop zac reg i cuz idk what to pair it with

[solid frigate]

just do the tried and True Zacogre

[molten oasis]

which sucks, cuz she's my dawg

[jade dust]

Any defiant legendaries?

[molten oasis]

you did not read anything above did you

tell me what does zacogre do to CIR Miraidon

[shadow wind]

Gapdos

[molten oasis]

or CSR Zama

[jade dust]

Lol

[shadow wind]

Cry

[molten oasis]

yep

[charred saddle]

thundurus

[shadow wind]

Now what does Groudon do into those?

[solid frigate]

like you said

Play better

[molten oasis]

cry

[jade dust]

Play better

[shadow wind]

Cry about 90% of the time

[jade dust]

Skill issue

[molten oasis]

mm, idk

[lofty tartan]

BP is Blueberry Points. Duh.

[molten oasis]

thought about koraidon

[charred saddle]

are there raspberry points? im currently into them rn

[solid frigate]

I haven’t do BBQ for a while lmao

[shadow wind]

Koraidon and Miraidon with a rising voltage Bolt

[molten oasis]

idt thats, correct, but idk

[shadow wind]

Can you imagine if Miraidon had rising voltage

[molten oasis]

:/

pagos, maybe

[lofty tartan]

I've give you 25 schmekels for all of your BP

[molten oasis]

unironically think double dogs could be ok

[charred saddle]

pagos lunala seems fun

[shadow wind]

Double dog would be awesome

[solid frigate]

Isn’t that Pagos best Pairing in that one Tournament is Zacian somehow

[molten oasis]

i mean

zacian demolishes fighting types

when PR hits but regardless

[jade dust]

Both lose to ground type

[molten oasis]

how???

[solid frigate]

how does Pagos Lose to GROUND

[molten oasis]

zacian threatens them with beeg damage too

[jade dust]

Double dog I mean

[lofty tartan]

I thought y'all were all super into Reg G? You're sitting around speculating about a Reg I now? That didn't take long

[charred saddle]

hahha

[lofty tartan]

Not shocked though

[molten oasis]

im gonna go to NAIC

[solid frigate]

dude i just finished my regional run lmao

[molten oasis]

thats why im kinda worried about it

[solid frigate]

REDEMPTION ARC

[molten oasis]

maybe

[shadow wind]

Me when Landorus I is a better ground type than Groudon 😔

[lofty tartan]

Okay? Lol

[jade dust]

Hey did you get Madam Herta? Just quick question

[cyan smelt]

just see what grougooner comes up with

[molten oasis]

https://tenor.com/view/landorus-gif-13744914906800154741

wrong lando but funnier gif

[solid frigate]

yeah E0S1

[jade dust]

Nice

[lofty tartan]

I'm gonna laugh when Reg I isn't double restricted xD

[molten oasis]

i swear

[shadow wind]

That should never see the light of day

[lofty tartan]

It'll be reg A plus Urshifu

[molten oasis]

reg h was ass i dont want that again

[solid frigate]

if its Rerun of Reg F pls Send me i love it

[molten oasis]

gimme double plz

[jade dust]

I pulled for Lingsha instead cuz I got Firefly in 20 pulls in Christmas

[shadow wind]

FACTS

[molten oasis]

wow pagos zac doesnt even seem that bad

just on paper

[lofty tartan]

[molten oasis]

reg f was

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-ascending-gif-12224952850809471339

goated format

[solid frigate]

like frankly Reg F is Peak SV meta (Just my opinion)

[lofty tartan]

Uh. Okay?

[molten oasis]

im gonna hope we dont get not double, plus what would they do

that made no sense

im gonna hope we get double

[solid frigate]

its either Double restricteds or Rerun Reg F(Either are fine)

[molten oasis]

no tera format

is also something

[shadow wind]

I’m praying for a no Tera format

[molten oasis]

i cannot wait

[shadow wind]

I actually despise Tera

[molten oasis]

for zacian to feel strong because you cant escape the pressure tera

[shadow wind]

“Let me hit this Heatran with my quad effective move!!!”

[molten oasis]

and calyrex gets worse

[shadow wind]

And now it’s a bird

[molten oasis]

we love calyrex getting worse

[solid frigate]

im fine with it honestly

[jade dust]

I want to make an appeal to make Mewtwo a non restricted

[molten oasis]

ZAC WILL HAVE A GOOD MU INTO CIR

[jade dust]

Cosmos was walywa the answer to Dodonzo

[molten oasis]

guys look at that bulk he'd never die

[solid frigate]

give it cosmic Power and Body Press

[molten oasis]

ong

and heavy slam

[shadow wind]

And remove the BP limit

[molten oasis]

jeez

[solid frigate]

ok thats too much

[molten oasis]

cosmoem weighs 999.9 KG

[jade dust]

Give it final gambit for memes

[molten oasis]

or 2204 lbs

[shadow wind]

40 BP against CIR 😭

[solid frigate]

heavy slam Goes hard

[molten oasis]

how much does CIR weigh?

[shadow wind]

Way way too much

[molten oasis]

WHY DOES IT WEIGH 800 KILOS

[shadow wind]

Yeah…

[solid frigate]

its Ice Horse

BUT WHY 800 KG

[molten oasis]

[shadow wind]

You’re telling me

[molten oasis]

ik ice is heavy but its not THAT heavy

meanwhile shadow rider is 120 lbs

[shadow wind]

I have to see that “40 BP - Calyrex” every game

[molten oasis]

lmfao

[shadow wind]

It ain’t even stab man 😭

[solid frigate]

Calyrex Ice Rider Body Weight Iceberg

Literally

[shadow wind]

I must rely on perish song 🙏

[molten oasis]

wow

calyrex by itself weighs 17 lbs

i could punt the mf with ease

[solid frigate]

i mean thats reasonable

like its floating Rabbit with an Onion on his head

[shadow wind]

Big target

[molten oasis]

great target for my foot

[shadow wind]

It’s hunting season boys

[jade dust]

Ice can be very heavy

[molten oasis]

so i can punt it across Galar

[solid frigate]

everyone grab your Terapagos we are gonna hunt CSR

[jade dust]

Idk man but Glastrier looks heavy as fuck

[shadow wind]

All I need is Obstagoon

[solid frigate]

well until i got Punted by Luna

[shadow wind]

As heavy as Groudon?

[molten oasis]

zama is 1700 lbs

[shadow wind]

Big dog

Lotta armour

[cyan smelt]

I need to ladder tonight

[molten oasis]

question whos taller, zacian or zama

[jade dust]

Wasnt Groudon the heaviest for a long time?

[cyan smelt]

Celesteela

[molten oasis]

weighs just as much as cosmoem

[shadow wind]

I want to say so yes

[molten oasis]

so its tied

[shadow wind]

Never has anything ever weighed 1000 KGs

[molten oasis]

nope

[shadow wind]

Pokémon fact

[cyan smelt]

Because they can't program more than 999

[shadow wind]

😭

They working with 3 digits MAX

[molten oasis]

they have 1000 pokemon now too

thats why they did dexit

[solid frigate]

well yeah Primal Groudon at least

[cyan smelt]

Sv is held together with duct tape and prayers

[molten oasis]

they cant go over 1k mons

[solid frigate]

which is fair enough

[shadow wind]

Ok so ice weighs 5 pounds per square foot

Wait

[cyan smelt]

Also xerneas and UBs would be broken with tera

[jade dust]

He was until, gen 7

[molten oasis]

ice rider is 7'10"

[shadow wind]

Google told me a 1 inch thick layer then said per square foot

[jade dust]

Regular groudon

[shadow wind]

Cubed, that’s the word

[solid frigate]

SV wasn’t really a bad game

Its just Pokemon Fans have high expectations

They should learn from Sonic Fans of having low standards and ended up with good games

[molten oasis]

wait whats the biggest restricted

[shadow wind]

A cubic metre of ice weighs 900 kgs

[shadow wind]

Like height wise?

[solid frigate]

in lore? Or Game

[cyan smelt]

Xerneas and yveltal?

[molten oasis]

ok apparently eternatus is 65'

its PROBABLY eternatus lol

[cyan smelt]

Oh right eternatus

[jade dust]

The game does look terrible. The desert design and all that. And being glitchy as fuck

[solid frigate]

and it can be a HAND

[jade dust]

Arceus did so many things better

[molten oasis]

that hand is 328'

[jade dust]

Legends Arceus did all SV did better

We had high expectaions cuz Legends Acerus set the bar high

However the 3 story type gameplay was very good. I did enjoy the story and how they made 3 different stories

[molten oasis]

wait shifu can be female

[solid frigate]

honestly its still fun

It kinda reminds me of Sonic 06 where bad Gameplay but good Story(Well if you ignore Sonic’s Portion)

[solid frigate]

yeah my water shifu is Female

[shadow wind]

Matin Moradi’s Indy team last year had a female Shifu

[molten oasis]

i want a female shifu that sounds awesome

[shadow wind]

Only reason I knew it had a gender ratio

[solid frigate]

why do you suddenly think of that-

[molten oasis]

i thought it was forced to be male

[molten oasis]

[shadow wind]

The ones from Gen 8 are I think

[knotty mirage]

Isn't swsh also have same problem of having terrible look for example the n64 tree

[molten oasis]

you're awfully dirty minded arent you

[solid frigate]

SV is literally the Sonic 06 of Pokemon lmao

swsh is more like Forces

[jade dust]

Yes I agree the story was good. The main reason people was disapointed I believe is because legends was very good and while it didnt have the best graphics and the frame rate was trash, the "open world" and the way to catch mons was so good

[molten oasis]

SV is a step in the right direction

[cyan smelt]

My urshifu from gen 8 is female

[solid frigate]

yeah they tried at least

[knotty mirage]

Sadly the path is rough

[jade dust]

SV was a downgrade from a lot Arceus did

[cyan smelt]

Most companies struggle when they make the jump to 3d

*open world

[solid frigate]

that what makes it worth while

[molten oasis]

im betting SV was in longer production

[knotty mirage]

Tbf SV development is at the same time as arceus

[molten oasis]

yep

[jade dust]

I do believe they rushed it cuz the game was so glitchy

[molten oasis]

and since they're taking their time with legends ZA we should expect a good game

and im betting itll be on switch 2, maybe even a launch title

[knotty mirage]

So maybe we can expect legend arceus quality on next game but not current thing

[solid frigate]

ill keep my mild Expectations cuz High expectations sucks(Learnt that from Sonic)

[jade dust]

I hate their marketing way to do things. To want to release anime, games and plushies at the same time

[molten oasis]

better than is my hope due to the genuine time they're taking

[jade dust]

Take your time to develop games

[molten oasis]

unless production started in 2023

[jade dust]

Dont rush them

[knotty mirage]

Please no i don't want to spend 500$+ for a new device just to get the games

[molten oasis]

yea im not gonna rush silksong either

that game has only been in production for 6+ years

[solid frigate]

If Kalos Starters did not get Megas I’m gonna riot

[molten oasis]

https://tenor.com/view/scout-goes-insane-gif-25382090

[jade dust]

Ubisoft specially

[cyan smelt]

Most likely they'll make plza for switch and switch 2, it'll double their profit, otherwise they'll lose money from people who aren't buying a switch 2

[jade dust]

Making empty open world games that feel like walking simulators

[molten oasis]

im probably getting a switch 2

[solid frigate]

same

[molten oasis]

pretty soon after it comes out

[cyan smelt]

Same

[molten oasis]

it seems to be much higher quality

[cyan smelt]

That is if scalpers don't ruin it

[molten oasis]

and i hope it is

[molten oasis]

i think thats just gonna end up happening no matter what

[knotty mirage]

I got one on sport ball even tho it need painful amount of soft reset and wasting alot of ball

[molten oasis]

so im ordering one online

[solid frigate]

and we dont have any News on ZA yet

[molten oasis]

cuz i dont trust people

[molten oasis]

pokemon day will probably announce something

[cyan smelt]

I'm gonna put in a pre-order as soon as I can

[solid frigate]

when was the Pokemon day

[molten oasis]

27th of February

[forest arrow]

Feb 27

[knotty mirage]

I think i prefer just wait little while before buying switch 2 to avoid early launch defect

[molten oasis]

only a monthish away

[jade dust]

@solid frigate Also well at least Sonic Frontiers was very good

My favorite Sonic game ngl

I expected them to fuck up really hard but they ended up doing a great game

[solid frigate]

Month and 5 days

[molten oasis]

thats why i said monthish

[solid frigate]

im just hyperfixated on things

[knotty mirage]

Oh yeah it almost chinese new year guess i will save the money i got from angpao for switch 2

[fathom geyser]

I have played with it, I enjoy it though since I currently don't have shifu access I threw a dragapult onto the team instead, it worked out well however I think kingambit might be a good slot over blood moon, what do you think?

[solid frigate]

oh yeah i forgot i actually celebrate that

[knotty mirage]

Nice

[cyan smelt]

Man how good would diamond storm be in this meta

[solid frigate]

heritage moment

[jade dust]

Because Honkai Star Rail?

[solid frigate]

its decent imo

[solid frigate]

no im chinese damn jt

[jade dust]

Ah lmao

[charred saddle]

gambit has lots of apparent weakness

doesnt hit much SE, ground + 4x weaknesses to fighting

[jade dust]

I didnt know

[knotty mirage]

Half chinese to be exact

[molten oasis]

https://tenor.com/view/nuh-uh-beocord-no-lol-gif-24435520

[charred saddle]

while big bear doesnt really care as its quite bulky, iirc jolly shifu CC doesnt ohko big bear

so you can just tank 1 hit and hit back really hard

[solid frigate]

yuh uh

[cyan smelt]

Gambit would drop to miraidon and iron hands and ogerpon and Groudon and lando and chi yu and chien Pao, and Zama and urshifu

[solid frigate]

both Big Bears?

[jade dust]

Did you ever play Smash competitively? @solid frigate

[charred saddle]

also, dragapult in change of shifu doesnt really work i think, shifu there is to play around against incin, or even things like zama

bm ursaluna

[solid frigate]

8 ands nice

[solid frigate]

maining Gren,Aegis,Toon Link

Repicking MK and Joker

[knotty mirage]

Just wondering what's the reason more people now running dragon tera on zama or caly i ?

[jade dust]

Ah, do you go to weeklies?

[solid frigate]

nah i have retired on comp smash

[knotty mirage]

I thought grass tera or fire tera is better on them

[jade dust]

Same here lmao. I mained Snake and Aegis

[molten oasis]

i played smash for a while

[jade dust]

I had a lot of top 8 finish in Las Vegas

Those were fun times

[molten oasis]

one tricked sephiroth and then learned i hated the gmae

[jade dust]

I had to fight MVD in round 2 winners that tourney and I made it throught losers to top 8

Similar thing happened when I had to fight Sonix

I got demolished by them but still made a good run

[charred saddle]

ill just summarize

gambit has lots of apparent weakness
doesnt hit much SE, ground + 4x weaknesses to fighting
while big bear doesnt really care as its quite bulky, iirc jolly shifu CC doesnt ohko big bear
also, covers the spA factor and doesnt really need complicated set ups.

FO Voice
FO bloodmoon you get the point

dragapult doesnt fill the role shifu does
against zama with +1 def, crits from surging can help, CC fighting coverage also. helps against incin too

also, dragapult will overlap typing with lunala, making it harder to play around CSR

[solid frigate]

my Greninja be like:

[fathom geyser]

Makes sense

[jade dust]

Greninja is kinda weird ngl. Feels like a high tier but not at the same time

[charred saddle]

honestly if im gonna try and think of an alternatives, currently in my head

shifu --> araquanid (helps with WG too)
BM ursaluna --> lando I / sylveon maybe

lando might be better for the ground coverage still

@fathom geyser

[solid frigate]

Its High tier still

Its just its Drag down is weirder

[jade dust]

His main issue is out of shield options and not having a lot of answers to pressure

[charred saddle]

but ig against ama lunala kinda walls it

yeah actually lunala walls zama now that i think about it

[solid frigate]

eh i just dont care too much and focus on its strong point

[jade dust]

Yeah its better to play on strengths. Aegis has a terrible recovery but she has a lot of strengths that make up for it

Also since you mentioned Sonic games, I find interesting that people now look back and start to love some games like Unleash @solid frigate

Xenoblade 2 did receive some hate as well but people now look back to it and love it more

Cuz well XC2 was a good game

[solid frigate]

dude if i saw someone hate XC2 because of Fan service they can shut the fuck up

[jade dust]

EXACTLY

It was all about fan service hate

I mean I do agree Rex isnt as good protagonist as Shulk but

Pyra, Mythra, Jin, Poppi, Zeke

All amazing characters

Nia as well

I enjoyed the story of 2 as much as 1 tbh

[solid frigate]

2 is the good starting Point for JRPG

[jade dust]

Yeah I will say the gameplay of XC1 feels clunky

[real prairie]

Morning

[jade dust]

2 has a lot of new mechanics and is more complex but more intuitive as well

[real prairie]

just lost to someone with skill swap Golduck with Kyogre

[jade dust]

Hi

[real prairie]

im not sure if i should applaud it or cry

[jade dust]

Do both

[solid frigate]

hey Jack

[real prairie]

hows everyone elses morning going? mine decided i needed humbling:

[molten oasis]

im not playing vgc im doin art

[real prairie]

i do like me some art

[solid frigate]

that looks like my win record from B’Ham /j

[cyan smelt]

Skill swap golduck wut

[molten oasis]

you somehow went 3-6 when there were only 8 rounds lmao

[real prairie]

swift swim onto Kyogre LOL

[solid frigate]

nah i got 4-4 but i almost got Really bad Record lmao

[cyan smelt]

Ok but why, just run scarf at that point

[molten oasis]

you went even nice

[molten oasis]

playing without the restriction of scarf

[real prairie]

GC type shit i guess lol

[solid frigate]

yeah because my final Opponent kinda just forfeited

[molten oasis]

nah we take those

[real prairie]

Some my old bits:

[molten oasis]

woah

[solid frigate]

At least Iron Crown goes hard against Groudon

[solid frigate]

DAMN THATS GOOD

[molten oasis]

thats, so much more impressive than what i do lmao

[real prairie]

i say old, talking maybe 15 years ago now 🤣

[solid frigate]

i might ask my friend to draw my Regional Team

[molten oasis]

its so well detailed

everytime i draw my teams i end up seeing shifu on like, all of them lmao

shifu's so reliable lmao

[real prairie]

Thanks!

[gentle crag]

oneofakindof has given 1 Gen Rep to drayagedrago

WILD CTS stuff

[cyan smelt]

hehe funni

[real prairie]

now im against a adrenaline orb, defiant G'zapdos

wtaf is showdown atm

[cyan smelt]

maybe i should ladder on an alt to see what wild low ladder stuff i come across

[real prairie]

i was near 1600 last night 🤣 its crazy

[cyan smelt]

i think my main is pretty low elo so maybe i should just ladder on main

[solid frigate]

my main is fluctuating towards 1300-1500

[cyan smelt]

1265 currently

[shadow wind]

Wait I’ve used that before…

[shadow wind]

My alt has pretty much become my main

It’s more recognizable than my main at the very least

Ain’t no one know who “ConnerTEP” is

But “GG=Groudon Gaming” now that’s a guy right there

[shadow wind]

Whoa those are sick!

[solid frigate]

Ogerpon moment

[real prairie]

those are awesome

would be cool if a Waterpon user won too

[real prairie]

Don't think I ever showed you lot the bedroom I did for my son

[grave widget]

I want the same one for me

[solid frigate]

very wholesome

my bedroom is just a mess rn

[real prairie]

Mine too DW 🤣

[wispy spade]

I wish i had parents like you

[real prairie]

Thank you, means a lot but I'm sure your parents do the best they can

[gentle crag]

oneofakindof has given 1 Gen Rep to smolsylveon

[chrome knot]

this tbh this is adorable

[wispy spade]

Why?

[solid frigate]

i mean its gonna be alr

Everyone have much to learn

[foggy lodge]

Traitors

I'm super fan of this meta

Don't switch to reg I i don't know what i'll do😭

[real prairie]

Just add Zamazenta to whatever team you have 🤣

[wispy spade]

I hope for an incineror and flutter mane ban next reg. Everything else can be identical

[solid frigate]

Thats it?

[wispy spade]

Everything else is perfectly balanced

Nothing broken that can hit through protect

Maybe unrestricted legendaries could be fun

[solid frigate]

so you ban Incineroar and Flutter Mane but not Urshifu

[wispy spade]

Correct

I hate that wannabe sylveon

[solid frigate]

WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU

[wispy spade]

Unfortunately discord has a message limit of 2000 characters

If we got reg h, but with rayquaza... Do you think arcanine or dragonite would be the most common extreme speed user?

[solid frigate]

i dont even See Arcanine or Dragonite that commonly

[wispy spade]

Dragonite was everywhere in H

But scale shot mostly

[chrome knot]

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2025regg-2285959911-3857prrxzd0f4rx6x3f8m1qihkr4iyfpw

@torn parrot you'd like this team it features a non meta critter,,,,,

[wispy spade]

Lunala is cute

No idea how to use trick room though

[mint void]

Have the top 10 usage mons be banned

[wispy spade]

Ban every pokemon that were in top 64 at the last tournament

Except sylveon

[chrome knot]

i think thatd be close to every unique pokemon used

[wispy spade]

Atleast someone might start using rayquaza

[solid frigate]

why do i become a Hotel receptionist after 3 Hours
For 2 hours

[chrome knot]

[timber falcon]

I give up Marvel Rivals, Pokémon is the way

[solid frigate]

my company asked me to be a Hotel receptionist for 2 hours for English Reason

When i am in an ENGLISH SPEAKING COUNTRY

Btw are there any regionals coming up?

[chrome knot]

San Antonio is this weekend

If it wasnt you then it was definitely someone playing your team lol

[solid frigate]

[little plank]

[solid frigate]

somehow i got clout

there is no way unless someone found my team on Twitter or Here or my Server

[craggy dagger]

or they could just be in this server

[little plank]

Couldnt have been you though, because they tried to use prankster tailwind in front of my choice scarf weezing and calyrex lol

[solid frigate]

yeah i did not do that when i was doing tour

[little plank]

It was on cart ladder last night

I had to play in a pokemon pocket tcg tournament, then figured I would push to master ball real quick on cart ladder and went 14-0 straight to master ball and called it a night.

As soon as I figure out how to get a groudon on cart ill make my hypnosis gravity team lol

actually didnt they add a way to get legendarys on scarlet and violet....?

[polar canyon]

Covert mandibuzz is my goat

[polar canyon]

I'm so not doing that

[twin kindle]

LOL

[craggy dagger]

lefties goltres :0

[twin kindle]

I remember Sitrus being popular becuase of berserk but..

Horsie

[craggy dagger]

i’m guessing buzz can take a lance to the face?

[polar canyon]

Honestly can't remember lol

Probably not it's still glacial lance

[twin kindle]

It’s more physically bulky so probs

[craggy dagger]

query-
how fast did you make your buzz?

[polar canyon]

I still invest a little more in spdef ever since it got one shot by a tera draining kiss from shadow rider

[twin kindle]

But goltres is the edgiest mon ever and I love it

[twin kindle]

Big mwah

[polar canyon]

112 speed pretty basic just to beat caly-s timid post tailwind

[craggy dagger]

i could prolly tune down my speed for more bulk then
i’m at 120 rn

[twin kindle]

Yuss look at speed breakpoints

[polar canyon]

I don't think it's worth investing buzz to outspeed anything past that

[craggy dagger]

ah…

+2 252 SpA Tera Fairy Calyrex-Shadow Draining Kiss (60 BP) vs. 220 HP / 36 SpD Moltres-Galar: 198-234 (102.5 - 121.2%) -- guaranteed OHKO

aw man

[twin kindle]

😔 naooree

[polar canyon]

Calyrex might be a little broken but it's no surprise at this point

[summer shore]

Average caly S calc

[twin kindle]

Sparkly baby too 💅🏻

[craggy dagger]

252+ Atk Calyrex-Ice Glacial Lance vs. 252 HP / 140+ Def Moltres-Galar: 170-204 (86.2 - 103.5%) -- 18.8% chance to OHKO
muehehehehe

[polar canyon]

This should mean it activates your berserk at unboosted tera fairy

[craggy dagger]

yep

but with minimal special attack investment i don’t think im doin much damage lol

[twin kindle]

Redirect with fire oger

Nom it nom

[polar canyon]

Man that +1 dark move is gonna hit fairy calyrex so hard am I right

[twin kindle]

Yah I was gonna say

If it’s fairy covert maybe it’s better than moltres is getting off field

After tw

[polar canyon]

I should do proper calcs with buzz for stuff like glacial lance

Right now I'm just running the little bit of speed I want and the rest dumped into hp and +spdef

[twin kindle]

Hurricane confuse it hehee~
Gacha gacha gacha

[craggy dagger]

true true

[twin kindle]

Not all can be done 💔 it depends on ur team what you want to survive most

[polar canyon]

Well on mandibuzz I'm just running the same moves I'd run on goltres but in a slightly bulkier mon physically so I think it's a fair pick

[polar canyon]

Honestly I still don't know what I want to run, koraidon is the only one that clicked with me but I'm still experimenting

[twin kindle]

Koraidon hehee are you using chi yu

[polar canyon]

Nah I was trying some ability shield weezing shenanigans but maybe I should try something more normal

[twin kindle]

💔

[polar canyon]

It's really funny to use against stuff like kyogre but realistically against that it's still getting hit by like ice beam + bleakwind or taking 50% recoil from taking a torn down to sash half the time

[twin kindle]

😔 yahhh, koraidon matchups are rough

It’s good against incin and rilla my opps

[polar canyon]

I like terapagos too I'm just not great at using it

[craggy dagger]

speaking of koraidon-

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2025regg-2286086780

[polar canyon]

Ditto is the funniest zama counter

Gets +2 defense when switching in

Since it copies the boost it already has then copies dauntless shield

[craggy dagger]

yup

[twin kindle]

MUEHE

Big bro koraidon showed who’s boss

[polar canyon]

I still gotta learn how to better deal with mirai teams

I wish it was as easy as just having rilla but that's not like an instant counter

[real prairie]

do you even have to ask? lol

[polar canyon]

Support volc the goat

[real prairie]

any help duely appreciated lovelies

[craggy dagger]

any ogerpon (except for wellspring) works well to redirect miraidon’s attacks

[wispy spade]

what's a GC?

[polar canyon]

Wish sinistcha was good outside of reg g

When like 90% of its hard counters were banned

[twin kindle]

It takes practice
I’m proud of you for trying

[polar canyon]

Urshi-s torn caly caly again korai mane chi yu

None of those were there to threaten my little teacup

Now everyone's out to get it

[twin kindle]

Incinmeow

[polar canyon]

All that was annoying was incin and hurricane peli getting easy fat damage

I started liking using weezing because of reg g

Ability shield incin intimidating ape and turbo ursaluna not being threatened by peli archaludon leads in the slightest

Take me back to reg g

[summer shore]

Damn swsh was a good game

Maybe j should play that dlc too

[polar canyon]

Good think I don't play pokemon for the story bc swsh got the worst one

But after playing enough sv I've come to think sword and shield looks good visually

[summer shore]

The game itself is nice tho

Looks good

[polar canyon]

Ye

I even like the concept of dynamax

[summer shore]

Had to resort to transfers to finish the dex off

[polar canyon]

Still hate playing online with it but man it's cool isn't it

[summer shore]

Is Pokemon ZA this year or next

I want my megas back

[polar canyon]

I might be wrong but I think it's 2025

[summer shore]

Nice

[polar canyon]

Legends with online battling would be pretty funny I think

Like I definitely wouldn't take it seriously like mainline online

[summer shore]

I forgot how many shinies i just had in swsh

Good 3 boxes of den shinies

😭

[polar canyon]

I say as if I took mainline online seriously

But yeah swsh dlc is actually pretty good imo

Part 2 is definitely the good part

Part 1 was kinda lackluster

[little plank]

They really need to drop a mainline game this year...

[polar canyon]

I hope not

[summer shore]

Its ZA or nothing this year

Tbh

[polar canyon]

I like pokemon but they better go back to quality over quantity

And I like tera

I'll be happy if I can still play online with tera for at least like another year

[summer shore]

Ooh Konami has recognised me now

[polar canyon]

It's like the opposite of dynamax for me

[summer shore]

Took them long enough

[polar canyon]

Visually it looks stupid

But mechanically and in gameplay I enjoy it a lot

[chrome knot]

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2025regg-2286100767-fhyjor15vmy5zoc2fxiile9gkrlxqcxpw

[summer shore]

Tera is my 2nd favourite gimmick

Gameplay wise

[little plank]

It's been every 3 years since diamond and pearl.

[polar canyon]

Dynamax is my favorite in terms of vibes

[summer shore]

Lets be real dp remakes do not count

[polar canyon]

Just turning your pet fight into a kaiju battle

Even if in vgc, most boring thing I've ever seen

[summer shore]

Megas are peak and will never be topped

Unfortunately

Bring back my mega greninja 😭😭

[little plank]

I didn't like megas due to it being so limited in mons that could use it.

[polar canyon]

Yeah none of my favorites has it

That's why I loved z moves

[little plank]

I'm a dynomax fan Boi lol

[summer shore]

Idk nothing is really cool about Z dmax and tera

Tera is high skill at least

[polar canyon]

I'll not miss how dmax vgc plays

Can you imagine weakness policy self proc being meta now

People have been trying with lugia right?

[chrome knot]

ok illumise dies

was a funky fever dream

back to regularly scheduled program

[little plank]

But yeah I think there was only 1 generation that was 4 years in between I could be wrong on that though.

[polar canyon]

Never too late to change

I'll gladly wait 5 years for peak

[craggy dagger]

what was your thought process for illumise

[polar canyon]

I've been waiting for silksong I have the patience

[chrome knot]

it had the 3 moves I wanted between torn & whims

light screen, tw, rain dance @ prankster

turns out when you overstimulate a bug with jobs it doesnt like that

[polar canyon]

Light screen tw rain dance tail glow

Would have worked if you did that

[twin kindle]

😔 baby bug isn’t surviving 3 turns

[little plank]

I mean legends arceus and scarlet and violet both came out 2022.

[polar canyon]

Ok maybe we are getting an announcement later in 2025 and a new release before christmas

[craggy dagger]

tail glow psych up lugia…

[polar canyon]

And then both just get hit by helping hand astral barrage

[twin kindle]

Lugia at +3 equals the dmg output of a diglett

[chrome knot]

isnt survivng 1 turn*

[little plank]

I'm holding out hope because I'm tired of tera types in bo1 ladder lol to hard to make predictions. In bo3 it's fine but in bo1 its rough going.

[spiral ridge]

Metapod

[polar canyon]

Honestly half the time it's still what you'd expect, like you can still safely assume fairy caly-s or fairy miraidon or like ghost incin and be right half the time

I mean more than half the time

Half the time would not be good odds

[little plank]

My caly is tera normal and incin is grass lol

[twin kindle]

Yeah gimmicks are rlly only a big thing early ladder

It gets better as you goooo

For obvious reasons

[chrome knot]

126 isnt a real number

[twin kindle]

I’m so persona 3 brain rn I can’t even do a vgc match without it’s going down now in the background

[polar canyon]

It's for flare

Those 2 extra evs you get that don't make a difference

[chrome knot]

right.

useless stats on a useless mon seems fitting ig

[twin kindle]

It’s symbolism 6 represents peace and harmony 🥺

[wispy spade]

[twin kindle]

Hehe big talk

[twin kindle]

It does have long hair…

[solid frigate]

I mean Koraidon technically feels harder than Playing Groudon tho

[twin kindle]

Maybe orange is the new pink

[polar canyon]

It isss

Koraidon is more like red tho

[little plank]

That's what cybertron said until he felt the wrath of groudon lol

[solid frigate]

he's playing a different restricted tho

[polar canyon]

Of gravity groudon?

[solid frigate]

Groudon Jumpluff

[polar canyon]

Hell yea jumpluff rocks

Love jumpluff

You know what maybe I should do gravity groudon with jumpluff, never missing a sleep powder again

[spiral ridge]

CIR torkoal heavy trick room

[polar canyon]

Jumpluff torkoal with eject pack overheat do it do it

Sun team without a sun legend should be doable

We got peli cir

[little plank]

Quash is very handy vs Miradon but you're right I usually go 50 / 50 with them.

make sure you’ve done this and then yes, just register in game

[real prairie]

Great stuff

[mint void]

G7ys what restricted do I play in GC? Kyogre, CalyS or Tutel

[left bobcat]

All of them

[lofty tartan]

Unfortunately prizes are still lame. Yet to see a prize as good as shiny Galarian birds from SwSh

100k LP, Gold Bottle Cap, and Ability Patch is just nothing

[next stump]

pokémon company sucks

[torn parrot]

what does minjun mean in french

[lofty tartan]

Just, the idea of making shiny forms and leaving them locked so that they're unobtainable but coded is just a waste of time for TCPI

I was holding onto some hope that they'd give us more shiny legend raids, but so far radio silence on that front.

[next stump]

100%

I’m still also mad they made the older shinies locked in these games too

to me, that makes NO sense. there is NO downside

if anything it gets more people playing the game for longer

[solid frigate]

hoi

[lofty tartan]

They're in the game and locked but a smarter avenue would just be to not code the shiny versions. We've still got Urshifu and horses locked, Calyrex locked, Enamorous locked. Now we add Miraidon, Koraidon, Wake, Bolt, Crown, Leaves, Gouging Fire, and Boulder, AND the four Ruin Legends to add to this growing list of unobtainable shinies.

But I'm super grateful they gave us the 100% phoned-in shiny of Gholdengo at rates slightly worse than normal shinies.

The decision to have 7 online events across 7 months and have the lamest prizes imaginable is a weird one.

[real prairie]

They make shinies in general more easily accessible than ever before until it comes to the legendaries... Just why?! Either make all shinies hard to get but not impossible or easy to get
