where is my rain team lmao
Oh wait that’s just Calyrex
Yeah, pao and chi yu do an excellent job at hitting pesky ghosts
They’re also so cute
Luna:Sliently supporting me and Nova's Teams
the only thing we have to worry about for ghosts vs zama is shadow rider which we got flutter for
Always………
My poor chi yu would have been no.1
How to make CSR worse:
FEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESH
We have a hulk
That’s true :3
most don’t even run shadow ball anymore so hehehee they won’t expect it
if you face me you might win against me cuz my only Zama Answer is Chi Yu and Urshifu
i always liked having shadow ball
If only aqua jet could one shot it
get on showdown
let’s play a Bo1
Fairy ghost hits sm
i don't like not having shadow ball tbh
Lettuce play
shadow ball still works for me its just i forgot to swap Shadow Ball With T-Wave
Sorry nova…he’s using chi yu……..
it’s fine heh
aka
Pagos Chi yu.
i’d say my team is alright into calydow
The cat
Who’s calydow
caly shadow :3
My team just cooked a CSR Geezing Dozogiri
OHHHH
finally i have my redemption from Bham lmao
anyways morris-
showdownBo1?
ehhh why not
i made a mistake-
i downed half a mug of coffee in one go
Why-
i need to make a coffee rn actually lol
Oooo gimmie sum
do not question my ways 
i don't need coffee and still like that
I’m kidding I don’t actually like coffee
Deep breaths while slowly sipping water helps the caffeine, if it gets too bad don’t over exert yourself please
even tho my barber actually recommend me cappucino
anyways

huh
Wrong moveset 😔
my flutter Changed moveset to fit my old Flutter in Bham
Heheh you should like totally fight me 💅🏻
Who needs sleep
Me
never underestimate the wood hammer bonk
i would never lmao
your choice
actually what did the uh
chi yu lock in btw
as long as you already registered, you can play from now until Sunday night
you “unlock” 15 games per day but they stack
so if you skip tonight, you’ll have 30 tomorrow
dpulse
Did you register
cuz i predict the tera from the go cuz expecting wide guard
Ofc you did what fool wouldn’t (me)
i thought you said dragon pulse and was like wtf
yeah
Yahhh you can ^o^
there are two dpulses lmao
speak from context lol
ohhh wide guard
makes sense 
I expected it too you threw offf guard
cuz i got baited in Bham so i won't make this mistake again
i just figured if i can slow the chi yu down once then i can KO the turtle
turns out the turtle lived 
The Spread work like wonders
it survived Urshifu's CC in two games
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
@chrome knot THANK YOU UR THE BESTT
stellalunita has given 1 Gen Rep to setsumizi
@chrome knot

Idk how to make a private vc
can't you just do it in Dms lmao
0.0 what did i do
Giggles
Create a VC and deny everyone connecting permissions. Then add the people that are allowed separately and give them permission to connect
Thank you 
interstellar_latte has given 1 Gen Rep to setsumizi
get em queen
take a breather if you start getting tilted at your games
the worst time to play more games is when you’re on a losing streak and you start to lose your cool
I'll probably grab a bite
OTS not being here makes this TOUGH
Especially on a team I don't really know how to pilot
yeah that’s fair
also
take your time when playing your moves too
take some time to think about what your opponent might do before locking stuff in
unless you’re 100% sure it’s the best play to make
yeah you don’t say lol
like
booster speed but the biggest problem is it’s a physical attacker and fails against incineroar
clunky….
though i was running tera electric tera blast
it could just be an ogerpon
oh wait no
not electric blast
fighting blast
just so i had an answer to incin
though it does get cc iirc
yeah i know
ionno about megahorn tbh
hitting cir for like 70% is kinda cool
you can also try coaching
But then you get revenge killed 🥺
i should explode my own liver
wait what’s the team?
i heard alolan raichu
i’m interested now
So it was a team I laddered on for fun
also wtf is the median speed of cir rn my incin is permanently outsped lmfao
81+ median 😭
And I got stuck with it for this because I didn't have enough time to explain to my GF (Love her for signing me up since I was at work) how to put pokemon in a team
Okie time for sleep
chi yu fan 001 out
i think
the biggest problem is the
4 ground weaknesses you have lol
yeah-
I wish I could've tweaked the team
you should try tera fighting sacred sword
that might yield some results
i should try a new pokemon..
truthfully
yeah
but if you wanna try iron leaves then
yk
there’s a lot of options you can use with it
This is what I WANTed to use
From the mons I had prepped
This is what i want to bring next time (maybe swapping Slither Wing)
slither wing is cool though
go go go
like the entire week?
Just 3 days iirc
oh ok that makes sense
awe
Didn't count as a win, just a null
NO NOW ITS A GROUDON TEAM
I went from a mirror match to a hard counter because he crashed I'm so sad
BUT, still winnable always
twist the dimensions to your will
bend them in a way where the turn order gets reversed
I'm going to scream
It was a sash
4-8
Man now I wanna play in a proper Bo3 bracket
deep breaths in and out
Oh Ik i be joking
le calm before playing again
hoo boy…
zoroark is annoying to face
you got thissss
Okay I had never played against a Sneasler before
5-9
Didn't know what to expect
okay final score 5-10
I'll probably play the other 30 games as they come, but man this team is not very enjoyable
I really wish I had been able to use my actual team
Overall I definitely could've played better. I plan to record my games tomorrow for review as even a bad team can be piloted to success, and even if it's not MY team, I can learn from it
up to 1300s with a 69.4% gxe

im going to wake up abit (and pretend im working for a little while) before i jump on GC.
There are no events in my city and I'm not sure I want to travel however far it is to the nearest one
It does not help half of these are just marked with "England"
which could be anywhere from 20 mins away to 8 hours away 🤣
You can narrow down the search by putting something in the city field
yeah but half of them don't have their city in the details
for example:
compared to one filled out properly:
Oh right, I had that too

4-0 but that was close, damn Solgalero TR team lool
thankfully i didn't TW turn 1 and doubled into his G'Zap
What's gapdos doing on a tr team
good Q
5-5
yeah i should not have slept
that killed my momentum
that klled my momentum so quickly-
i'm in 2K now wooooo
if i lose 2 more games its dire to go positive
U were doing so well
i'm in pain
5-6
I'm in the negatives now
and whats worse all of my loses are facing against Groudon andMiraidon
they brought indeedee, CIR, Hat and Urshifu. Last 2 turn of TR and its my Kyogre + Indeedee on low HP against their CIR + Urshu.
Kill their CIR with Foul play, but lose my Kyogre to Stellar tera surging strikes. last turn of TR and i tried to spore instead of foul playing, had i foul played he probably dies to rocky helmet damage before he finishes my Amoongus
remind me to never sleep when i have the huge momentum swing last night
I probably shouldn’t have gone av miraidon in the tournament
I somehow just beat a calyrex ice
I figured out why lots of caly is are running fairy tera, it's because of dark type moves and stuff like foul play
This one was running Tera normal
bro finally realised
Lower ladder has been mostly kyogre with some koraidon and stuff thrown in
I probably should have brought my Zacian team, I have played way more games with it
zacian go brr
I used electro drift into a volt absorb thunderous lol
I lost :(
i'm gonna go insane if i lost again and have to win every match so that i can be on positive
Wow I didn't realise that thundurus therian had such a high sp attack
4-2
I’ve been playing horribly today
Good morning
If I lose this one I’m also taking a break
lose*
Oh yeah
my personal rule is if i lose 2 in a row, break time
just lost to an Eternatus + encore waterpon
Another drain punch koraidon
yeah thats what just happened to me
Let’s go I hit a will o wisp
that game was disgusting though, Eternatus used 1 flamethrower and 1 sludge bomb and got the burn + poison with both
Psychic on chi yu is saving me from losses
Are Korean vgc players on that next level like Japanese players?
ally switched with Cresellia and sacrificed it to save Waterpon
if the VGC community is only focus kn One Language then its fucking cracked
Asian players are crazy good at the game
because they have the same timezones for Most part
And relatively only speaking one language helping the communications
they are what the Russians were at chess in the 60s lol
also i literally got 5-6 so that isnt the reason of oh its just they are smart thats why we are good at the game
nah ik it's because they practice heaps too
this is how asia qualifies for worlds
lol
so they’re taking this as seriously, maybe more, than someone else takes a regional
in NA or EU
Me after i lost 6 games to Groudon and Miraidon:
yeah fuck that somehow these two are my worst MU
Right im gonna make a tea, get some grub and have another crack at it in an hour
im gonna go to school so its gonna take a while before i continue to fuck shit up
i kinda like safety goggles urshifu
did you find any locals in the UK?
3-3
I’ve somehow not lost to a calyrex I
It could have been 4-2 if I didn’t make the awful mistake of using electro drift into thunderous
not that aren't more than an hour away
wait Jack are you still using Kyogre
RIP
yeah
im 4-4 RIP
Rip
4-5, im about to throw myself out the window.
was going to throw my switch but that isn't the problem
lol,
Throw it out the window when you have the switch 2
I’m scared to start my games tonight when I’m home
global challenges are just the worst
and they decided to make them worth even more worlds points this year
This one is tough
Last online tournament I got 149th
Now I’m doing awfully
welcome to being in the negatives after the winning streak
Depression
im playing Pagos so its always Hard mode for me
im doing a Team report later to show my team
I normally run covert cloak on my Terapagos to set up calm mind turn one

6-5
Nice!
7-5
I had to walk over to my friend’s house to trade, you think I can afford the dlc?
7-6, lost to a mirror scarf kyogre
7-6 isn’t too bad though
I’m still annoyed at myself for forgetting thunderous had volt absorb
I went 5-10 dw 
Per usual
There there your doing your best ,i assume it gets tougher as it goes
ill play eventually,,, hello kitty has me on hold rn
setsumizi has given 1 Gen Rep to stellalunita
Having psychic instead of snarl has saved me a few times today
that is indeed a whale
@opal trout does it pack up hands?
Please have fun,drown in the cute
Same...not Hello Kitty but BG3 but same kinda
I’ve not played against one today
Somehow
Did they announce the next regulation after today yet?
Probably G again
we will probably learn in march
does anybody know best items and move sets for a team of skeledirge meowscarada quaquavel garchomp lucario and tinkaton for competitive
What format do you play
yeah there is no way that reg G-
ending the day 8-7
lost to a mimikyu hands team
belly drum hands, psych up mimikyu in TR
If it’s for reg g it’s not going to work
I think I'm 2500 rn
its a little misleading as people can share placements
i can scrape in at 1024 but it doesn't mean i finished 1024th, because 2049 people can place in that tier lol
1024 hm
no format I’m just playing the game lmao
Then you can really just run whatever
Hopefully I run a better day 2 but again, doing my best with this team 
I’m not doing too good so I’m probably going to aim for 513-1024
just hopefully any of us to reach jt
Just got to have some good luck
Like hitting every heat wave
Best of luck
zam is very hard to use
Gonna run 15 games with the team I'm bringing next time to get a feel
eh it depends on how familiar are you with IDBP without the ID part
What’s that
Iron Defense Body Press
Insert Hoodra Moment
Foreboding nicknames (i won)
Maruxchan
I forgot I was on my old account lol
im gonna be home soon and i have to play the remaining Matches
i don’t understand my logic-
What happened Nova-
i mean i lost to Miraidon but won against an Ice Rider
sometimes MUs are inconsistent
Confuse any Physical Attackers woooo
swagger when confusion was higher rate
I'm doing 15 games with the team i wanted to bring and im at 5-0 rn 😭 😭 😭
My final score yesterday was 5-10
@craggy dagger 3 ganes for rewards tho
Hehe I totally voted for the sun team
3-1 against a Rillabopm
I wanted my sun team but my GF had to sign me up since I wasn't home and the sun team wasn't in a battle team yet 
6-6
IM CLOSER TO POSITIVE
Fairies are faster than god confirmed
In total? Or just today
It's only day 1 in UK
Max 15 games until midnight when we get 15 more
12th game
Ah one day behind me?
Should be the same for everyone but maybe not
How many games it say you've played? Can you share a screenshot?
Ah right, it won't let you play anymore til 4pm PST or 12am GMT
Oh gotcha
Yeah, I didn’t stay up waiting for the tournament to start
Yeah I'll play mine lunch time tomorrow
In fact I think I'll time it for the middle of the night in Korea 🤣
I fear Japanese players
They share a timezone I think
The randomness on their team is annoying
Will do
Isn’t it cts there
Yes
Whole thing is CTS
6-7
Rip
In Japan
Don't think they have any regionals, it's all global challenges and Asia cups, all online
9-1 with my new team test running
Ohh :3 so technically kinda
Shame you can't change team 😭
ribombee can ohko ice calyrex but have to 2hko shadow calyrex with one quiver dance

i got pile drived by Miraidon teams-
Mate losing to that belly drum team hurt
9-2, brother had the most RANDOM covert cloak
If I doubled into Miminyu turn 1 it was an easy win
let’s just say GC teams are never Honest
If I could I’d run my Zacian team
Coaching scarf Urshifu and Zacian is fun
i missed an KO on Miraidon and i am fucking Screwed
how did my Flutterfeesh cant Ohko it
when will focus blast not miss
Bulky miraidon?
I gotta get back to hunting for my team
Maybe av?
Av very popular
Wtf is mirai item if its not AV or Specs
idk it barely lived
Lost to tera dark iron leaves...is that normal?
Magnet 💀
Guys Slither wing is actually so good
I think that there was one at the San Antonio regional
Calm mind leftovers was a thing rlly early on
In this team*
Wait it was the Birmingham regional
yeah saw that in venue
https://pokepast.es/f38c29e0ca5b568a
it was Tera normal though
of course im facing Yuta’s Team in the 15th match
Urshifu
CIR 2nd in worlds
Lucky crit lost me a game rip
Took me 2 hours one time
Final score testing my new team - 10-5
My goats
Realizing that I might want redirection, but not sure yet
Ogerpon is good for that
cornerstone looks yummy on that team
if you wanna do a core completion then walking wake doesn’t look bad
cornerstone looks yummy to bring vs that team
I've messed around with them but it's tough to find one to remove
Probably Slither, but the first impression priority is SOOOO juicy
Decent works if it rolls 1 IV
What do you think fits best in its place? Wake or Oger
Got it in 20 tries
0 atk and 0 speed in one
All im doing is playing against Tera Water CalyS... how? Its like the 5th in popularity with like 6/7% usage
4-3 rn...lost to 2 high horspower misses and a weird ass team
tera water to resist ice rider and most restricted’s moves
Not even. The usage is still low. I dont get it.
Snipe it with thunderclap
@foggy lodge me without bolt
2-3
but i don’t wanna count one loss because of the player 
Its just because wolfe released his worlds video
Samesame
i don’t think you had a run in with-
this person
Bri stayed in with OgerH in TR with Protect used last turn vs +2 CalyIR
Walking Wake, Ogerpon, or something else to replace SW
Idk why
i feel like it was an automatic loss
@craggy dagger nah I mean cause they made weird ass calls
LATIAS
You don't have Chien Pao so

Yeah
also no Tang Gang Teams shown
Yuta's Team is still running
i mean my miraidon MUs haven’t been too bad though
I love Latias 
RIP tho
What do Slither Wing and Torkoal do here
yeshhhh
latisssss 
i almost run Latias on my Terapagos Team lmao
Torkoal hard removes trick room and kyogre teams, SW is not doing much hence the swap
He's cute tho
latis does well
i just gotta put a little more faith into her instead of avoiding bringing her like the plague 
There are better tools for TR than Torkoal
May i see the set 👀
tell me to when i bring Crown to Bham lmao'
I think Torkoal really needs hard TR teams to work
Its the removal of the kyogre + TR shutdowns, and with HH eruption it takes out everything
and Terapagos is best as Balance Teams or HO
Hard TR Pagos does not work-
I've also just been running torkoal since SwSh released so it's a comfort mon
Chi-Yu
ngl icy wind would have been so much better
But Chi-Yu pairs poorly with Pagos because of ruin right?
Same as my set but swap IB with IW
Pagos tera should be enough for the rain match ups or a mon with taunt so you win the mirror/ beat the CM restricteds
other way around
it pairs well cuz of beads
its literally Pagos's best in slot
i'm running that
Gotcha, so Yu instead of Torkoal?
You could try Tornadus taunt
Morris
tf you mean best in slot /t
has the gacha brain gotten to you /t
Y e s
I'm trying to relearn all of VGC pretty much lol

I immediately thought of Final Fantasy XIV lol
Like Pagos Inci Rilla Urshifu Farigiraf Tornadus also can work
Terapagos can only rely on one Terrain and no Weather
so TOrn is meh unless you don't like Flutterfish
Jugulis is also an option
you should try tera electric blast terapagos and crash your game cuz it doesn’t know how to run when pagos is anything but stellar
lmfao
Dark type inmune to prankster has taunt and can use the Miraidon terrain to get the boost
252HP 252SpA feels so weak after i use the new EV spread
Go bold
I have a bold Pagos spread let me search it
that’s an
interesting rilla spread
i'm running that lmao
Thats not mine either, I just can't remember the ING spread
i know i just think its weak after i used for like 5 months

Oh for sure
mine is more bulkier lmao
Whats yours?

Maybe you could give it less speed and invest more into bulk
actually more on Offense
prevents snarl and fake outs
you can just go for calm minds easily
unless there’s taunt/encore
you’ve finally converted lol
Do we like the other 3 here? https://pokepast.es/44c223b3e56044ea
you used to be a lefties person 
i always use Cloak lmao
-1 252+ Atk Urshifu Close Combat vs. 172 HP / 76+ Def Terapagos-Stellar: 116-140 (45.1 - 54.4%) -- 5.1% chance to 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
Yeah it is really nice being able to a set up calm mind turn 1
Luna convert me to Lefties before i convert back
Same
helping hand instead of hyper voice i think
oh 
Makes enough sense, what item then?
Helping Hand over protect
its Clear Amulet->Cloak->Lefties->Cloak
Or change the Farigiraf set to a more bulky one like sitrus berry
protect-?
can i ask why clam???
you literally complained me about that before TSN or hell i become friends with you guys
did i-

yeah you did lmao
N E C K (Farigiraf) @ Safety Goggles
Ability: Armor Tail
Level: 50
Tera Type: Dark
EVs: 196 HP / 116 Def / 56 SpA / 140 SpD (Don't need to follow this)
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Helping Hand
- Foul Play
- Dazzling Gleam
- Trick Room

i forgot to replace it with Bold-
I prefer psychic Farigiraf at this point in the meta tbh
psychic+foul play
Picks up some important KOs on like Hands or Urshifu
at least i have God Comp of Fari that Lived +2 Glacial lance
gleam i feel like is weak cuz it’s spread and you’re investing a lot into bulk
its ok
Psychic noise is also okay you block drain punch and leftovers so it can work for Dozogiri
if i don't have gleam i would not win against the Smeargle
But i prefer psychic rn
lets just say my original Fari has Psychic Noise
Just i forgot to change it
FOUL PLAY
2 Safety Googles?
Not done swapping around yet lol, do we think Rilla and Incin are still good here?
Rilla and Incin are fine
I don't like HH Inci
Ive been having no luck with wisp
Tera ghost rocky helmet will o wisp works better
its ok,Me and Creph actually talked about it
You need a Zama MU
why not just Tera Water Rocky Helm lmao
Too
beat the living hell on Urshifu
For Kyogre it works
WW misses a LOT
mhm
Also doesn't make you weak to Chien-Pao and you don't get pinned by Dark Shifu
But you need will o wisp here
The Zama match up with those 4 is horrible
But it's just not consistent
I'm going to get got
gonna fucking lock in for day 2
It is consistent
Sonic X mentioned
85% is high enough you should connect more than will o wisps than missing them
Chi Yu:
I missed 6/9 yesterday...
OH if i add wisp what item?
Rocky helmet
I noticed it was on farig
Chi Yu isn't too bad but that is even more of a gamble since Overheat and Heat Wave can miss
But so far i did land moves
You break the sash of the Urshifus with it
Heat wave is the ONLY missable move i will respect
Its won me many a game
I used to run like 2 dark moves one fire move and protect chi-yu lol
What else does Chi-Yu run?
Dark pulse snarl heat wave protect
Gambling with chi yu is fun
And what item for it?
Sash/scarf
Like this? https://pokepast.es/b8dca9307fb3cebe
If you run scarf go for something like
Dark pulse
Heat wave
Overheat/snarl
psychic
Yes
Honestly I suck at scarf sets
Go ghost Tera tho
Oh makes sense
And modest nature
KWKDKDKD
Oh you should've SEEN my finak SwSh team
It was like copy x 112 #8
Crying
Copy of Copy of Copy of Copy of
Hearthflame is also a cool mon for the team
Lmao
I’m so bad at zama I’m ngl
We DO like Incin and Rilla here tho? Wouldnt swap them?
I’m so bad at playing passive
the only restricted I can play okay is csr and terapgos
They are fine
Fine? Or good 
The problem is playing passive with Zama lol
Well it depends on the comp i guess
The ones that I've used were a lot more offensive
LIKEEE I have to guess whether they’ll use a spread move or not
And they never fall for it
Ih that was my favorite part of my duel terrain team
People usually don't click the spread move into a Zama
Unless they can pin Zamazenta with like Urshifu or something
Mind gaming Zamas on my expanding force being spread or not by swapping terrains
i’m learning zama as a go lol
🐇
Could go Comfey instead of farigiraf if you wanted to recharge your Tera shell
Hearthflame is nice on Pagos Team
Also Mold Breakers breaks tera Shell lol
Also floral healing pairs nicely with grassy terrain
You could use something the one from Bologna
I’m using a chien pao and chi yu variant rn after failing to make my gc team
Alessio used cloak Pagos with Comfey Inci Rilla
And Dragapult too it was a very cool team
I used that but I had flutter mane instead of Dragapult
It should also work
Thats interesting
It went undefeated on swiss round on that tournament
Lost in the first match of top 8 tho lol
I liked the grimsnarl pagos team until giraf appread literally everywhere
hmmmm i tried before and its col
Mfw Wolfe says he has a new favorite Pokemon
Help which one
Which Pagos Grimmsnarl
There are actually a lot
The regional winning one I think…it won
Specs Pagos?
Pagos only won Japan Nationals?
Yeah it haven't won a regional or another type of tournament
My baby fraudgos…I will always love you dw
Luna its not Fraud ;-;
Farigiraf that's why it's everywhere lol
trust me Luna Pagos is not Fraud ;-;
Oh yeah Wolfe has used giraf for forever
It’s just such a comfort pick
Especially with rilla incin literlslt everywhere
My comfort pick was Lilligant Torkoal for a while 💀
Crying
When I fot to 1800 with terapgos i felt so peak
Then the zama meta came along and it hasn’t been the same since…
So that'd just be swapping Giraff with Dragapult?
at least you are so much better than me ;-;
I'm only 1500 at peak
Early reg everyone was just testing and having fun, it’s so much harder now 0-0
Did not deserve this: https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2025reggbo3-2291902501
Watch a replay of a Pokémon battle between Keonespirit and hellsbell24! Format: [Gen 9] VGC 2025 Reg G (Bo3); Date: Jan 31, 2025
yeah fair
My Giratina perish team i miss you 
WW does nothing to Zama's BP right?
it does
burn halves Physical Damage BP
What was that dragapult team you mentioned?
https://pokepast.es/7457c8214e0a6f50
this but it has Dragapult instead of Flutter Mane
Whats the dragapult set?
I will see if I can find the team report
Thanks 
keonespirit has given 1 Gen Rep to happy_ditto
It was
Dragon darts
Phantom force
Sucker punch
Thunder wave
252atk 252spe 4hp jolly nature with a focus sash
Clear body as the ability and Tera dragon
Oh hey lil bunny
How's shit cooking for everyone? I ditched work and got my hair cut lol
8-7
Snap
Or a mix of both
the comeback happened again
I'm shocked I'm only 3 wins behind tbh
Pollen puff and floral healing is probably a bit useless
Could swap Dragapult for chi yu if you find chi yu better
FEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESH
Lava fish!
Theres still no way to get shiny Chi-Yu right?
nope
no way yet
I'm especially sad because it's definitely gonna be from an event
I want it in a beast ball
My whole team are in beast balls
Its why i did this
In SwSh I used Heavy balls
I found it
Finally
Personally o think you should add mega chi yu
I wish i could upload custom sprites
I might put specs chi yu on my team, it hits so hard even in rain
And will give water spout even more damage
Could work
Water makes you resist surging strikes
Rain would probably result in Tera ss ohko anyways sobs
does rocky helmet damage happen before or after drain punch healing?
Probably after
Yeah healing first
Heal always comes before I think
Yes
I played against a draining kiss calyrex s today and life orb damage came after the draining kiss healing
Yushshsh
Sweet kiss calyrex
bro is gonna
Bro is gonna commit War Crimes
Could swap Dragapult for an offensive speed control flutter mane
+2 252+ Atk Calyrex-Ice Glacial Lance vs. 196 HP / 116+ Def Farigiraf: 210-247 (95.4 - 112.2%) -- 68.8% chance to OHKO
This is a war crime here
WE BALLLLLLLLL
;-;
Hehe help me test teams
i mean sure
Hehehe
Eheheh
I'd love to play against some people sometime
Itll help me get a feel for how big the gap in skill is
I’m down
I’m not very good but I am indeed of the down variety
I'm not very good but indeed down of the variety I am
