You funny
Ooo oger :3
I think wake would be interesting
i would just nuke em
I’ve, hmm
yusss?
I’ll go back to wake I’ve tested it a few times already
Wake whimsi Zac Pao was the core
I had hearth so I had 3 Mon FWG and Fantasy core
yum
Well I found a much cooler support than farig
Almost straight wins up to the 1300 mark with this team so far: https://pokepast.es/52c61dd2e19d3d0b
it looks good ^o^
fighting tera is actually interesting
why tera bug on volc and tera fighting on ursh btw
Oh it was stellar lmao
Remade it on my phone to share
Just doing test games to see what the Volc tera needs to be
I ended up swapping to stellar, but it did come in clutch a few times
I’m rank 1
casually
Allowed it to hit Miraidon HARD
heck yeahh
Wow
Maya is a god at the game bascially
Oooo shit, go girl!!!
teach us ur ways bunneh
Thank you guys ^^
Your double goat! Thank you
mayahoppins has given 1 Gen Rep to eriksp
im so glad you never gave up on the team :))
Yeah I almost stopped playing completely
I killed iron julias today 
i'm not letting brainrot get into my brain besides Kuru Kuru
i'll continue now
it happened :0
help
Finished the night 11-4
Better than my 6-9 💀
So 19-11 total so far
Nice job!!!
Danke queen, big praise from #1
oneofakindof has given 1 Gen Rep to mayahoppins
What team you running @torn parrot ?
Playin the pawmot calyrex shadow team, gonna get it updated on vgc repository
does VGC turn your mons level 50-100 or do you have to grind levels with evs and ivs
Damn girl got #1 with the pawmot, I bow to you
50
But you still need to set your evs and ivs
There are guides in the pinned messages
Now I love pawmot he’s such a champ
indeedee and caly are so aesthetic
electric types my beloved
into what matchups do u tend to bring pawmot btw?
Revival blessing is wild
i can imagine it’s nice for a csr mirror since 2 calyrex is better than 1 lol
ayyy made top cut at my local cup
G fucking G
It's a round of celebrations today
yoo nice!! congrats
I just go off vibes tbh I bring it when I don’t feel comfortable and need cushion it’s great in the back when I’m fighting hyper offensive teams as well
Allows me to me to get away with bringing whimsi and indeedee as passive as they can be cus I can bring back calyrex also he just hits really hard so that’s nice. sometimes I just bring him for his typing
FUCKIN HELL YEAH NICE JOB!!!
did u make new profile or go with cc cir??
CC min speed CIR
christ
also missing some attack EVs LOL
does stellar cc from pawmot ko terastalized pagos?
LMAO
Damn son!
ohko the incins
good fucking god
I just realised, I avoided a single CIR today 🤣
i’m playing geezing CSR in cut
uhoh
side ey
Blow it up
best of luck
thanks y’all
yeah i'm done with GC now
I lost to the EASIEST MU
Bad day 2? Sorry bro
Take a break, you are the comeback king
i lose to CSR-
I should've Dark Pulse into the Flutter
Cuz Astral Barrage does not kill Chi yu
chi yu live gameplay
not unless i fucked up by not Killing the Flutter and kill the CSR
You see how the blue beats the red 😉
I don’t know what I would do without scarf chi yu
Basically me
I kinda wanna play you haha
i'm not gonna play GC
One Surging Strikes later
It's timid too so outspeeds my scarf Kyogre
OMFG brain wave!! Fake tears chi-yu next to Kyogre, if only they could both have scarf lol
Ooooo fish
Yeah I wanted timid so I could outspeed even jolly scarf urshifu
It was important to me to have that peace of mind
The extra speed is something I really like
Oh also modest landos
Yeah puts me in a precarious position, would go down to better piloting so think you'd come out on top
This is the team in running in GC btw: https://pokepast.es/399040609f5a6537
It's 4def not 4spdef on Pao, not sure why that's wrong on showdown
mr.miyagi ripoff bear is nothing to me
WACHA karate chops your dog
LMAO
tcg pocket regionals would prob do better than go sobs
pocket’s so accessible compared to other tcg and vgc
That’s so true actually
no idea how p2w heavy GO is tho
Me:I'm gonna play GC
Also Me:Screw this imma teambuild for Double Restricted cuz why not
This is why I stoped playing gc
I finally have to play CIR cuz i'm pairing CIR with something i like
Maybe if they gave me a backpack for it
i am NOT compromising my sanity for a few LP and one gold bottle cap and ability patch ty very much
give us cool clothing please
i’ve never heard anyone say they like playing the gc i think
since i can’t possibly make worlds it’s kinda pointless
me, who misseed the sign ups, seeing everyone go from hyped to uber tired of pokemon
I was not hyped, but thought it was good practice for another regional upcoming I plan on going to lol
But yeah, it's jarring the randomness but learning a lot about my mistakes and play
Isn’t it like 45 battles
That’s so daunting
I always give up after the first day
i got tilted in the 2nd day
my first day is ok 8-7
Hmm raging bolt is struggling, but I think it's just my piloting
Lots of people try to use bolt as a power house and it doesn't work, I've seen people use it best as a bulky support type. Snarls, electro webs and pressure with thunderclap
Bulky Boi Bolt works better
https://pokepast.es/cd947690b3b29ab6 do we go torn or whimsi here?
Debating the other spots rn but I need a tw setter that can set sun for Wake
That makes sense, I may have been utilizing it wrong
lost in the finals of my Cup RIP, got blasted by a miraidon
i was stupid and thought landorus might live a draco meteor behind light screen
Awe , good effort :(
damn
Unlucky bro, well played on getting that far with an un optimized team
thanks y’all 🙂
appreciate you
the geezing dozo team went to timer both games against me
Hands up highhhhh
https://pokepast.es/87afe1b0b7d46e71
https://pokepast.es/19fee313184ab057
which one looks better?
😔
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm
Personally I’d say 2
But that’s just me
I agree 2
K
Dialga-O + CSR gaming?
Honestly a lot of the single-target restricted nukers are going to be a lot better come Double Restricted
I’ll probably try csr zam
Honestly, I'll probably try two single-target nukers
Something like Ray and Dialga-O
give CIR another reason to hate God

Sobs I think that’s a given
And that’s the way I like it
🙏
Brave 0 IV Dialga(-O) is 85 Spe
so yeah, anything that can click a button like that into a big mon has merit
and with your restricted not needing to pull as much weight, suddenly the restricted pool widens
and tbf the restricted pool wasn't shallow to begin with
I meant it in a general sense
Uhhhhh sure
CIR, CSR, Zac, Zac-C, Zam-C, Groudon, Kyogre, Terapper
Miraidon
Shit has been pretty open as far as "meta mons" go
As soon as I get my food
Hawaiian Time
Well time to dice up some apples
Next reg? 0-0
We get there when we get there bruddah
These teams sucks
They can’t beat incin who just waits to cripple my incin in the back
Stupid damn Mon
The only physical attacker I consistently use is ursh ngl
Nothing works, nothing feels good, and when something works it’s not enough
Whats the team?
Shit
Hsit
Let’s see here
https://pokepast.es/19fee313184ab057 can’t hit incin
https://pokepast.es/87afe1b0b7d46e71 struggles with incin and sucks into CIR
you have wake and sacred sword pao, how can you not hit incin?
Probably not for much
The pattern seems to be the teams either 1, suck into killing incin
Or 2, can’t handle fake out cycling
Sounds like they're just prioritizing their wincons/lines
Which isn't a bad thing
have u tried tera ground zacian instead
Every single incin player I run into preserves it as long as fucking possible
have you tried coaching valiant
Yeah wake is extra dead
Yes
I don’t like becoming weak to shifu
Like deadass sounds like they're playing their lines
Gotta force em to not do that
Idk
That just seems like the answer
That's the step
That's the thought process
Cuz I just cannot build the team that fits me
Regidrago does not work in my hands whatsoever
iron valiant gets coaching and quick guard, no more fake out, problem solved
And get cycled by intimidate? I’ll pass
First step to doing so is cooling off cuz it's already going south or finna go south
Take a breather
Think about it
You know something you can do
Take an actual minute with a clear mind
And figure that out
So now you pshot and then cycle the intimidate again and then op Zac is -1 and does no damage
And do what when I get back
Yes
Drown in a pool of skill issues bad teambuilding and failing to get a grasp on what to do
I’ve been struggling to even get a team going
Oof
Sigh
Man you just do not read or listen do ya
idk you just seem to reject every suggestion
The moon stuff feels AWFUL into fake out cycling
Watch a replay of a Pokémon battle between ThrowDat and Silvanygst! Format: [Gen 9] VGC 2025 Reg G; Date: Feb 2, 2025
Ok so the solution is to just walk towards ground zac, a set I don’t like for multiple reasons
You need throat chop
Issoki to feel frustrated, deep breaths…
By learning what doesn’t work you slowly learn what does
Drago
like i've suggested coaching mons and gapdos but you've rejected both
Shut
The fuck
Up
Yeah sometimes just taking a break does wonders
Go cool off
Go calm down
Like just going outside and just take a walk and listen to some music
Later when you have done so
We can figure this out
I will help you
I will think about it with you
Working out and taking a SHOWER does wonders
I remember when Wolfe took a break last year and then came back better than ever
But until you calm down, I will not discuss mons at all anymore
if nothing is working then u take a break
Even the pros struggle with burnout
Pretty sure I pointed that out last year
I will spiral regardless
Real shit
I took a very long break from vgc after Gen 7
Shower go hard
YOU HEAR THAT @untold urchin
I skipped Gen 8
I FUCKING SHOWER BITCH
fuck you go away
oh wait this is your channel
fuck you i go away
working out has done wonders for me fr
Will you?
Everytime I ask I get “idk”
Yes
Actually
I try my best
Y'know it's hard when I don't have that much experience
I have experience, unfortunately I’m washed
But even with no experience
If you're not calm like you aren't rn, I refuse to try and do so
So calm down
Then we can talk about it
I mean yall seen the dumb shit I do on my replays
that might’ve been for the. best lol dmax was a weird ass and bad mechanic
Yeah I heard about Gen 8 zacian and dmax
The first rule of Pokemon is that you fucking suck.
The second rule of Pokemon is that you fucking suck.
The third rule of Pokemon is to spite the first two and get good
So if anyone mentions Gen 8 results I’m just gonna nod my head because I haven’t the slightest clue
Yeah sometimes accept the fact that we’re gonna lose
i took a break from end of gen 8 to reg g and i swear it was way harder to get into vgc when half of what i even remembered from a 3 year break meant shit
You gotta put time and dedication even if it’s video game
If you want to be UP there you gotta be dedicated
Oh yeah Pokemon absolutely requires dedication to learn
if it’s not working in vgc just use it as an opportunity to out that time and dedication into other things
productive shit
Besides we’re all good at some things and bad at other things
I’ve taken a long break but when i dedicate to my craft the results showed off
My Lunala team made it to the 1600s maybe even the 1700s if I put more time
If you’re feeling frustrated it’s ok just take a break
I be breaking the rules man
clearly, be breaking Rule 3 there lmao
Yeah Rule 1 and 2 I follow LMAO
I want my ideas to work
Not to be a top player
So I'm going to be blunt with you.
If you are new, you should be stealing teams to play
You don't have the requisite knowledge to make something from scratch
Pretty much
Making a new team (especially something with jank) means you need to know a lot of shit about the game and particular meta you are in
And as a new player you just don't have that info
You gotta take a bunch of Ls before you can actually get a good idea of what team building is about
And I don’t use people’s teams, i lose all motivation using something I didn’t make work myself
You don't if you are getting your shit fucked repeatedly
When ik it works idc about it
I am bad about dealing with incin
Is it not that idk what it does sir
Or what teams it’s on, I am bad at building around it cuz I’m not that smart rn
then play teams that don't care about Incin
I’ve taken thousands of L’s it’s the fact all my friends have had success of even little proportions and I just don’t rn
On zacian? That’s anything but easy
Because if you can't teambuild around the 2nd most played pokemon this format on ladder you got some shit to learn
you are the one jamming Zac and wondering why you lose to Incin
Thx so I’m an idiot cool, bye
Bro really wants to cry about Incin while he's on Zac, Jesus lapdancing Christ
yeah, like if you had a faintest idea of a clue on how to team build this format you'd look at incin and be like "yeah fuck Zac"
or just about any Phys restricted
It is fortunate that in this format allows you to have allies
Which can help to cover weaknesses
Yeah but when 1/3 of all teams on ladder are running Incin you don't jam Zac
That’s why you gotta look into pros who have built teams
especially after Intrepid Sword nerfs
You don’t gotta copy just use it for inspiration
That’s what I do in this server I study some of yalls replays and come up with ideas
And if they don’t work for me then oh well I either try or move on
It’s alright he needs to cool off
Bro needs the pre-packaged meals before he cooks
I use Zac because everything else is boring, so it’s my choice and I need to improve my skills think harder and smarter to be better. Once I cool off, cuz that’s what I need
and you will almost always lose to Incin because of Zac
Or I can improve and play better, which is all I can do
have you tried something with mist to stop intim cycling
You act like the mu’s impossible it’s not I as a player just need to be smarter
K? Let’s cut it off here so I can cool off ty
or you can not come back here while the rest of us chat
We don't have to curtail ourselves because you are mad at a nearly 10-0 matchup
You’re pinging me about this conversation make conversation about something else I didn’t mean stop talking
Stop pinging me, talk about something else
Please keep it respectful and civil, there's no need to be condescending or keep pressing the conversation. Agree to disagree, people are free to have their own views, just keep it friendly 🙏

Kyogre/chi yu-
1-1
This Pokemon is immune to wind moves and raises its Attack by 1 stage when hit by a wind move or when Tailwind begins on this Pokemon's side.
Its speed got lowered earlier that’s why Zacian was faster
I just found this really funny
i need this pinned on the channel
Ground Zac boo
honse
2-2
Pawmot is a funni pokemon
I'm pretty sure you could have picked any mon there and you would have won
calyrex does make for a funnier clip though
If I revived anyone except the horse I lose
ah, not scarf Urshifu
was Zac not damaged?
Ye
So the situation was I had a life orb calyrex shadow that was +1 and can one shot the Zacian (because single target) however since its speed was lowered Zacian moves first
If they attack pawmot then Zacian dies to shadow and I win
If they attack shadow I revive caly and bring it back with its speed reset double attack and win Uwu
ggez
yeah but your Pawmot outspeeds it right?
wait no, Pawmot's only fast in low regs
yeah, that's odd
I remember in one of the early regs I beat someone because I used revival blessing with rabsca lol
yeah Revival Blessing is cracked in early regs
My team was ass though
mainly because no one has the real BST to bully the reviver
Play it like it’s Fortnite
I wish I had cottoned on to either farigiraf or Indeedee as tr setter in the early regs
And I was using supreme overlord gambit lol
oof
2-3
I just used hat shawty as a tr setter
@fluid fiber are you playing on cart or SD?
Huh
I want to use gambit in reg g but I think the power level is too high for it
Idk what that means
I mean-
that's what I'm thinking too
are you playing on Switch or Showdown atm
OH
Cart? MARIO KART?
Switch, the GC
We playin Mario kart?
With my Crap team 
can i join?????
I wish I owned Mario kart, I never owned a single Mario kart game in my life

ye olde fuckee
Dangnabit this old geezer is getting up in them years
At least I’m closer to the age
When i was 15 on discord i always used to say that i got along with people 17-18 because i was mature above my age…I know now that all of us are still immature in so many ways 😭
My goal by the time I graduate and commission is to be engaged
Awe, got a girl your eyeing?
Yep
That seems unrealistic, no offense
Non taken
How close are you two
spill le tee old man
Growing up fatherless the end goal is to break all these generational curses
Pretty close
Im sorry bloodline…
I got time anyways
moment
I found my soulmate so
my whole bloodline is in the hands of my nerd ass how do i tell my family it's so over (:
I think what tofu was trying to say is take it step at a time, please don’t set goals too ambitious before anything even starts 
That being said I do believe in you ^o^
Preciate it
Pressure is a real demon though 0-0
Pretty much
This is gonna sound pretty shady but
Im too gay for my bloodline…💔
It really is a thought process but I’m not rushing anything
I stopped looking then found it

But all my relationships in the past regardless of how sure I was changed pretty much rapidly
My sisters got us trust !!!
Yuss ^o^ good good
lol hopefully
Im so dumb I pressed my ps controller to turn off my computer
Now I have to turn two things off…my life is so hard../j
It’s been a tough road to recovery
fuck it: losing games bc opp makes the wrong play
Yeah..relationships are so hard…life happens, people’s feelings are so finicky but, that’s how you know when you’ve found the right one.
When you can trust them to try their hardest even within so much
tell me about it
Mhmm
Tells you about it
-# The opposing Miraidon used Electro Drift!
-# It's not very effective...
-# (Kyogre lost 11.6% of its health!)
Tell me something
Holy moly
Whenever electro drift is used i imagine miraidon saying electroooo driftt! , like he’s some kind of iron man 😭

Holy guacamole

mhm,,,
Literally
Looks comfy
Damn
I remember we had to walk in two different directions and I felt my heart tear like velcro LOL
Maybe amoongus would be good too since it’s a rain team
lol
Yeah If it was my play style I’d go for amoongus ursh instead of oger giraf
but that’s just my play style…I use giraf a lot when I have choice mons
Giraf was the glue to my specs pegos team
thats a lot of flying weaknesses
i really want to make a meme for everyone who does a comp with one niche mon in them for TSN members
and i'd like to make gapdos stand out a bit more so idk about shifu
Intim Detergent anyway
Hehe go off gados
this aint even how u use the meme😭
shifu and gapdos also share so many weaknesses
rapid at least
single strike might not be too bad

anyway hopefully this gives me a direction to go in
just go for it and see if there's any adaptation
Chicken tendies drenched in sauce 😫
Yeah i mean darkshifu could work since you have Gapdos for Incin anw

2 losses to CSR shit
no dark type kinda sucks and fari is not proving to be very good
lost again, ugh
bblade didnt kill the CIR
wait, sing works even if the target is behind a sub?
its a sound move so yeah
Tera Dark Foul Play Farig?
i had water
there's grougooner and now there's groudizzle
Have u tried Amoong
no, wasnt sure if i wanted 3 support
where would it go? just over ogerpon?
bit worried about lack of damage, also loss 7 cool
dont feel comfy taking torn into mirai at all so i didnt and then lost to too many tw turns
Could try the swap to Whimsi
god dammit
why do you even have fari man
totally lost cuz i thought you'd tr that turn but i played it wrong again
lost zac and lost the game, ugh
bolt gapdos zac feel fine
idk about fari
i'll try whimsi cuz i think i want encore and a mirai resist more than rain dance
i feel like bolt's enough anti sun tbh
Add chien Pao for extra damage
But hyper voice doesn't damage through sub 
uhhhhh
amoonguss gapdos whimsi bolt stackup ice weaknesses so much
do i really need tailwind
it should
The user takes 1/4 of its maximum HP, rounded down, and puts it into a substitute to take its place in battle. The substitute is removed once enough damage is inflicted on it, or if the user switches out or faints. Baton Pass can be used to transfer the substitute to an ally, and the substitute will keep its remaining HP. Until the substitute is broken, it receives damage from all attacks made by other Pokemon and shields the user from status effects and stat stage changes caused by other Pokemon. Sound-based moves and Pokemon with the Infiltrator Ability ignore substitutes. The user still takes normal damage from weather and status effects while behind its substitute. If the substitute breaks during a multi-hit attack, the user will take damage from any remaining hits. If a substitute is created while the user is trapped by a binding move, the binding effect ends immediately. Fails if the user does not have enough HP remaining to create a substitute without fainting, or if it already has a substitute.

Bypasses Protect-like moves.
Does not make contact.
Affected by Snatch.
hyper voice 100% should damage through sub
You need wisper to at least threaten caly i
sound moves ignore sub
"Sound-based moves and the Infiltrator ability ignore substitutes."
Maybe it does and i just never used it against a sub then
Tinkaton 
hammer time 
Eh two steel/fairies
Very good typings
Stacking fire and ground weaknesses
Could always do the fire cat like everyone else
i just jumped into the convo, idk what the team needs but tinkaton usually isnt a go to option lol

debating mons on a team, im trying gapdos
tofu thinks i should try amoonguss and whimsi but it puts me at 4 ice weaknesses and zac is weak to ground so it be pretty bad into CIR teams
you might need some form of speed control
https://pokepast.es/09f0decf3bcccb20 like idk what to do from here lol
whimsi would be that but its a lot of ice weakesses
have something for caly ice to help with the ice problem
usually they run tera water or fire
yea idt amoonguss is right
or is it and i need to try and do this without tw which sounds bad
Talonflame isn't weak to ice and gets priority tailwind 
or i go play smth else
i want smth to be able to punish incin cuz im sick of it freely cycling through my team lol
true
Eww, flutter
I was gonna say i think with this sort of team you obviously need Speed Control to tempo
Regieleki with light screen and E web
i agree
that just, its more i want it to not get to cycle freely
Scarf Coaching
eleki doesnt do much against scarfed lando i
even with shifu on the field i feel too pressured by fake out and often something is immediately threatening shifu
Lando i is the cloud one?
You can also run Sub Zacian if you want
think im asking too much
Pelipper?
indeedee helps against priority and could imprison tr
slow tailwind sucks
Or Entei w Stone Edge
Yeah but its the cycling
Rawring moon?
Sure no FO but then you’re not changing much there
true, keeping up terrain for no real reason
RM only knocks off Incin and is relevant if you have Spore
hm
I think keep in mind though, cycling is a choice
Thats one slot not really doing damage
and one slot switching
its also crippling my dog
Sooner or later you do need to make a call and break the cycle
thunder wave booster speed scream tail 
Which is why Lando-I can just output consistent dangerous damage
you're right, mm
Cause this is only partly solved in the builder
thats why drago works but the speed tier drives me nuts
its awkward
too slow and too fast at the same time i feel
Jugulis?
If you have Farig - that combined with a general strong spatker to open with can chip anyways
Like
You can consider just spamming Specs or Booster Flutter
w HH
and just chip shit into range so they cant safely cucle
we told him about flutter lmao
i never tried fari
Cause HP is the resource your paying
dawg let him help
lol
What made lando-4-leg unusable? I want to use it 
Incin.
its outclassed by incin and hates shifu
Since everytime its a switch the trade-off is
- Stat drop for minimal HP loss
- HP is a set amount per game overall for one side
- The less HP the less safely they can continue that
Why not riff off the ting Lu dozo stealth rocks yawn stuff, that punishes intimidate
They increase the value of the remaining HP due to your lowered offense
thats so slow for a mon that wants to play at a faster pace
Can’t
Team wants to Tempo
But you can also take a book out of their page and run sth like Glimmora with SRocks
eh
i do think i just need to learn how to deal with it better, it still frustrates me
cloak shifu was pretty damn good into it
Yeah
but a lot of them are rocky helm rn which makes that worse
its a good trade but i feel like i need shifu after sometimes
i could go back to that ig
any of yall gcing rn
I think it’s helpful when planning to remember they can only perform one action at a time
Just break it down logically in ordwr
Hell no
no i gave up
gc sucks lol
k so, maybe i'll go back to cloak shifu i think i need a new team tho
i gave up
even with shifu the team felt so bad into fake out cycling and intimidate
How about lando?
it had lando didn't change the way it felt into those teams
https://pokepast.es/02f9a3ce41d60851 this is waht i was using
You can try Cornerstone as well
5 physical attackers into incin sucks, i didn't really bring pao
lando felt succeptable to incin shifu leads
I think Glimm might benokay
ive gotten 5 free wins in gc from tera dark pulsing my torn against csr teams
I gave up and now I am questioning if I can even build a working team
💀
lol thats a neat tech tho
Yk whats based
Tera Dark Foul Play
meh
Into CIR
tera dark pulse cuz ima flinch crit the cir after i set tw
just get the flinch every time ez
I used to run tera dark dark pulse torn in reg g v1
anyway ik i have protects but i suck at playing that 50/50 and double protecting is a loss of momentum
Its not a 50/50
You can work through it
No because i forgot
how exactly?
You plan for both scenarios and work off both lol
Now im going to grind cart ladder because i want to play against the japanese players
If one slot gets flinched > whats your other slot doing to respond
true
Then you play off both
whats the order of actions your going to take in the following turns for one scenario and the other
so either way ur not floundering from T1
im also thinking zac doesnt really need pao with stellar, maybe thats why i dont take it much
which kieran music
is better
kieran
kieran 1
kieran 2
or kieran 3
Kieran 3
3
alr, i'llkeep that in mind
ty queing it with my gc matches now
3 fs
I like the team star grunt
like idt im wrong about this
I run Champion theme
You don’t need our validation, its your team
That was my background music in the tournament
Just do it and find out
Or the BB elite 4
k
urgh my brain is so rusty
lol
I normally have the ai professor theme
my stupidity is helping you derust trust
Fr
I would have it
Im forced to scrub the rust
whats the best music to u guys
But most of the time is like i think
Champion theme
Penny's theme
Ruins
I don't have enough time to go from the grunt battle theme to the champion one
Maybe the ai professor theme?
And i just let the grunt theme play
just do what i did i challenged my friend rn
I like feeling “official Pokemon match”
It’s a good theme
and changed the music lmao
Also i hate so much the wild Pokémon themes
theres so many
https://pokepast.es/4e84c8183dcd3154 i think the last 2 spots can be a lot of things
Non restricted formats i just play the Elite 4 Theme
Restricted format it depends on which restricteds
(In Cart SV that is)
Could have Ogerpon c
and bolt?
Could do
stacking ice weaknesses there
Urshifu Zacian are decent into Caly Ice
plus they're fairy rn
I'm still a fan of tera water Lando
so i will bblade them freely
If rain is up hearthflame isn’t great
and if they're water thats what tera blast is for
Not weak to Urshifu and Hands after tera better into CIR Kyogre and Koraidon
torn doens't have to set rain
True
Kieren 3, turo and sada, ruin
a ruins enjoyer pog
I LOVE
i thought you were going to bed
Nvm it is weak to Hands after tera

But you get my point
who doesn't love Ruins's Theme
I WAS…AM…..LATER…
valid lol
Ruin theme is cool
I also like team star boss
uh, i mean bolts nice but no ghost resist kinda sucks, but also av bolt is really tanky
Y'know
how come the ruins theme isn't on nintendo music
idk
Next gc I may run Zacian
I think i already told you but i had the idea of AV Blursa with Zac for a while
is a ghost resist overrated
Maybe it works maybe it doesn't
am i the only one who plays Elite 4 Theme in Cart Ladder
e4 theme is ok
I think its worth mentioning it
It’s nice :3 a little too stoic for me but it’s very competitive sounding
av blursa
Ground/Normal
Mind's Eye
113/70/120/135/65/52
555
Ursaluna
hm
the Paldea one btw
BB E4 feels ass compare to the trainer theme
Electric, Ghost
Poison, Rock
Bug, Dark, Dragon, Fairy, Fire, Flying, Ground, Normal, Psychic, Steel, Stellar
Fighting, Grass, Ice, Water
Ground-types take no damage from Sandstorm.
zac covers 3 of those
You could also just go lorb too
lorb needs access to tr
Speedy urssluna
idt i wanna play fari
but actually the idea of zacian blursa tornadus farigiraf
even then
Sound good to me
114 Raw Speed moment iirc
Yes its 114 max speed
im surprised the Electrofuria fan has nothing to say about bolt /jk
I STILL GOT IT WOOO
All my Rillas on reg H were made to outspeed blursa max speed
Honestly it’s not rlly necessary in ur team, it rlly shined in the regional Zac team because it had both choice ursh and drago
Hmmmmm
Help
Wait who
114 is fast blursa
115 is what my rilla hit for a while
i had no clue why it was 115 but i didn't question it
Rillaboom @ Miracle Seed / Assault Vest
Ability: Grassy Surge
Level: 50
Tera Type: Fire
EVs: 92 HP / 180 Atk / 4 Def / 156 SpD / 76 Spe
Careful Nature
- Fake Out
- Grassy Glide
- Drum Beating / Wood Hammer
- U-turn
can i just run this instead-
probably
Drum beating Rilla is cool
Miracle seed help
But i think Oliver used like 252 jolly rilla
its literally just item swap and works
It outsped an Ogerpon in finals from Birmingham
i heard about speedy rilla
And Ogerpon is 110 base speed lol
Most ogers are slower nowadays
Yeah
uh anyway im worried about mirai with this team rn
bro i just lucked out so bad
fairy av bolt is usually really solid into those teams
But it surprises me it was that slow
my non rocky helmet amoongus 1v1d a full hp tera dragon zama that had 2 turns of sleep but I crit once and called every turn he would wake up
Ceribelli's Ogerpon was like 156 i think idk
RIP Ogre tho
oh but, fairy bloodmoon would be too
156 is one speed over 252 adamant ursh
