[bold geode]

I believe he only plays OU

[chrome knot]

I realized after sending

was mixing w/ tree

[mint void]

got 2 bugs bruh

[solid frigate]

lol tree play OU when

[real prairie]

we have a bonusWolfe video

Wolfe Reacting to himself lol

[timber falcon]

im having a problem with my tw mon, i want it to be offensive but also strike first

and sash tornadus is too inconsistent with bleakwind

[real prairie]

whats your restricted? I run hurricane as i prefer its OHKO potential but if you aren't running rain you will face just as many issues as bleakwind

you could swap to Airslash

[timber falcon]

this is the team so far, also want to adress the lack of swap ins for caly-I

[real prairie]

why have you doubled up with urshifu

tera ghost and cloak

seems pointless to have both

[chrome knot]

no priority urshifu🤑

[timber falcon]

didnt think that through

[real prairie]

if you want to avoid redirection from Amoongus, Tera grass. If you want damage, tera water.

[timber falcon]

maybe ive been using urshifu too defensively

[real prairie]

or swap the sash with Tornadus, go with a more bulky set and have less issues with its reliance because you have an extra turn to set up rain + then bleakwind with guaranteed accuracy

[timber falcon]

thanks for the idea, ill try that out

[real prairie]

No drama

[timber falcon]

is this a bad thing btw?

urshifu without prio

[chrome knot]

[timber falcon]

looks like i have some sets to change

[real prairie]

usually you don't go priority if you are scarf otherwise its good to have it

[timber falcon]

incin did seem like a more reliable distruptor

[timber falcon]

urshifu was on the team to deal with incin and terapagos effectively, somewhere across the line i forgot about the intention of certain mons

[real prairie]

if you go cloak Tornadus that can have taunt

[timber falcon]

im just worried about psychic terrain

[real prairie]

always a risk, and if so, you could drop flare blitz and go taunt on that too. but sometimes you just have to concede that you will have to battle in TR

Also you have Rilla, leave it at the back in instances where Psychic terrain could be an issue

[timber falcon]

i see, ill try improve my tr game plan then

[chrome knot]

i mean like do u super care tho ? you have so many tools to waste time in tr

[real prairie]

and change terrain on them

[timber falcon]

do i? ive been losing to it consistently

[chrome knot]

2 fake out, incin resists the tr sweepers, priority moves like

idk how ur struggling ngl...

[timber falcon]

can never use prio cause they have farig/indeedee, on the chance i do swap in rilla it dies to caly-I

[real prairie]

max speed bolt probably doesn't help

[timber falcon]

kinda slapped in there

[real prairie]

If you switch in Rilla and they go for G-lance instead of Trickroom, sure you lose Rilla but you have changed terrain and stopped TR which puts the rest of your team at an advantage

also if you switch in Rilla... you can fake out

[chrome knot]

parting shot🥰

[timber falcon]

maybe my descision making just hasnt been up to par i guess

ill tweak the team a little based of the advice and save a few replays

ty guys

[real prairie]

no bother 🙂

sometimes you just need to step back and take another look

[chrome knot]

its just learning small things that help you stay in control of the game

[foggy lodge]

I lost Weezing to a crit astral barrage turn 1 on game 1 AND 2 of a bo3

I still won

[stray girder]

do crits ignore burn dmg reduction?

[foggy lodge]

No

[real prairie]

burns effect the damage of each physical move used, not your stats. Crits are stat based

[foggy lodge]

Yeah

Burns halves the BP of physical moves

[real prairie]

so with a burn and a crit its BP/2*1.5+STAB

[spiral ridge]

Uh

[tiny karma]

Move: Shed Tail

The user takes 1/2 of its maximum HP, rounded up, and creates a substitute that has 1/4 of the user's maximum HP, rounded down. The user is replaced with another Pokemon in its party and the selected Pokemon has the substitute transferred to it. Fails if the user would faint, or if there are no unfainted party members.

What’s this for btw?

[real prairie]

Someone is a leki fan in here too

[wispy spade]

it is for a fan game playthrough i'm probably not allowed to talk about here

[spiral ridge]

Oahh

[wispy spade]

i'm considering volt switch forretress and just hope someone doesn't light a match nearby

[spiral ridge]

If it’s just safe switches could always substitute right?

[tiny karma]

Move: Substitute

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.

Let's not forget teleport

The OG switching move

Although it is -1 priority so you are taking a hit in single battles

[wispy spade]

wait, clefairy learns teleport?

[real prairie]

Possibly

[wispy spade]

how is it -1 priority if abra always escapes before spore can hit?

[real prairie]

No idea what gen -1 was introduced

I know it wasn't always because gen 1 if you didn't just throw a pokeball it was outta there

[tiny karma]

Move: Teleport

If this move is successful and the user has not fainted, the user switches out even if it is trapped and is replaced immediately by a selected party member. The user does not switch out if there are no unfainted party members.

i’ve gotten so much stuff spoiled for me already lmaoo social media is ruthless

but honestly hearing what’s gonna happen from comic readers makes me even more excited

btw @mint void i think you asked me for an eleki team a few days back, i’ve been trying this team from euic seniors for a bit and it’s pretty cool https://pokepast.es/bd28b5ee7600d550

was doing decent then started pulling horrific mus

also feel like there’s room for improvement, chi yu’s felt a bit eh for me so any suggestions would be great

need an anti csr tool in that slot

[mint void]

Well Incin or Moon wouldnt be horrible fits

Or scarfing it

[empty turtle]

can anyone help me with my ev spreads

[mint void]

Drop them

[empty turtle]

[mint void]

Ur team/current EVs

[empty turtle]

i havent thought of any evs yet but ill drop the team

https://pokepast.es/d557361bf905f633

[mint void]

So Flutter should be able to live Pao Suckerpunch and or Urshifu Surging Strikes/Wicked Blow

Detect fot Protect on Urshifu(prevents it from being imprisoned on protect)
You have to pick with Ursh if you want to run more dmg and speed or go for surviving hit.

Pagos itself struggles vs Zama and Koraidon. The latter not so much since its a tera hog and Starstorm at least hits that big.

[chrome knot]

pagos mu into zam is literally 20:80

[mint void]

His pagos only runs Starstorm so its walled by wideguard in tera

[empty turtle]

https://pokepast.es/bc960042153ff457
I added evs on all my pokemon

[mint void]

236 HP,236 DEF,Rest SpDef fot Amoonguss is neat to make it tanky on the physical side

Allowse it to live icicle crash from pao or glacial lance

[placid mist]

How is sleep powder even fair?

such a stupid strategy

[dense latch]

it’s not unfortunately

its worse than evasion or stall strats imo

[placid mist]

Like just go first and click and not miss

Its so BS

[dense latch]

bc it makes you play gambling games from the get go

u kinda need to get rid of the sleep powder mon asap by having two mons to threaten kos

unless it’s sash which most ppl run

do you think the rest of the evs are good and do you think there is anything i could do better

Nah they arent good.

I can get soke standard stuff that I can find

@empty turtle

[foggy lodge]

what is tera fire flutter for

[mint void]

244 HP / 100 Def / 164 SpD Incin

[foggy lodge]

Hearthflame?

[mint void]

Hes bett8ng a lot on defensive teras * guess? I dont see fire here. Id just do Fairy

[foggy lodge]

Fairy is the best for flutter on this comp

Normal maybe but you already have a good MU into CSR so its best investing into other match ups

[mint void]

Flutter Mane @ Booster Energy
Ability: Protosynthesis
Level: 50
Tera Type: Fairy
EVs: 228 HP / 132 Def / 4 SpA / 4 SpD / 140 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk

• Dazzling Gleam
• Moonblast
• Icy Wind
• Taunt/Protect

I dont make notes so uh...I know this gurantees u are faster than moon

And surging strikes from scarf irrc

Or sash rather

[foggy lodge]

I would just go a bit more speed like 148 timid because it outspeeds max speed booster roaring moon

[mint void]

No 124 does

Nvm

132 does

So depending on maths cause if tounding down for biister u need 140 no?

[foggy lodge]

Yeah 140 is better

[mint void]

Idk I fucked math on that spread idk why I was on 187 as max speed moon

@empty turtle no idea what Pagos runs as spreads ngl

Imma look at shifu

So uh i feel like u want max speed ursh so u outpace calyS after a icy wind

But that just leaves u with no bulk which i just personaly dont like

[empty turtle]

im trying out building another team rn

still centered around pagos

[empty turtle]

new team

Solid shit

[empty turtle]

thanks

[dense latch]

i’d probably give incin goggles for the amoong immunity and uturn on rilla so you can cycle fake outs more effectively

overall good team tho

[empty turtle]

ill try it out

[astral kelp]

slow bro made day 2???

huh???

THIS GUY COOKED

The "he cooked" team is whack.

[astral kelp]

but you gotta respect it

[mint void]

Nah its just stupid

Wasted money

[astral kelp]

you have to pay to enter?

[mint void]

Yes

And to travel there

You buy a ticket to spectate or participate

[solid frigate]

124 already does

Roaring Moon only reach 188 in Timid and Assume they don't run that much speed just for bulk for me

[mint void]

[spiral ridge]

You ignored me last time

[plain drum]

My bad gang?

[slim kelp]

Is Ogerpon good into Reg G?

[spiral ridge]

Yeah it is >:(

Oger is great in G

[slim kelp]

Thanks

[spiral ridge]

Mainly hearth is being played rn I think

[molten oasis]

Hearth and corner

[slim kelp]

What about Wellspring

[molten oasis]

Wellspring is okay

[spiral ridge]

Was about yakuza

[dense latch]

it’s a step down from the other two viability wise

[slim kelp]

What happened? I thought it was considered good

[spiral ridge]

Mon usage made others better

[molten oasis]

It is good but the other mons are better

Wellspring kinda struggles to do much in this format

[slim kelp]

I'm guessing like Water Shifu?

[molten oasis]

Rilla, most dragons

Amoonguss

Sun being better kinda sucks for it

[slim kelp]

I guess I'm just too used to rain

I haven't played reg g I don't think

I can probably use Hearthflame with Koraidon

[foggy lodge]

Niche

It works for like hard TR or balance comps with Terapagos

[bold geode]

Plz do

[mint void]

Guys do i make incin 91 speed for tang caly?

[astral kelp]

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2025regg-2308729507

maybe the quaza is better than dragonite for this team

[shadow wind]

I mean Dragonite would be immune to fake outs and intimidates

[mint void]

Losing cause the opposing Kyogre lives on 1% HP thrice has ruined my day

[solid frigate]

the curse of 1%

[torn parrot]

1 hour till invincible

[fluid fiber]

I'm so stupid chat

I forgot to IV train my Ninetails or change it's nature before registering for the GC

[molten oasis]

Bummer

[fluid fiber]

Now I can't change it

I mean how big of a difference will it make (cope cope cope)

Its SpA and Spe are "Very good!" For IVs at least

Its nature isn't plus Spe tho

[astral kelp]

@real prairie you doing any better?

I have no idea how I've gotten so much lmao

Doesn't seem very mythical to me frfr

[molten oasis]

How are y’all doing that?

[astral kelp]

You should be able to get like 5 of them

[molten oasis]

Yes but how?

[astral kelp]

Gonna take like one billion million pokeballs tho

[astral kelp]

Literally just login to pokego

[molten oasis]

Are they just roaring around?

[astral kelp]

Nah like they just give it to you

[molten oasis]

Ah

[astral kelp]

In the quest menu

Also the genies

They give you encounters I mean

[torn parrot]

Is it sashed

Either way it’s not the worst

18 minutes left

[molten oasis]

Welp

I did the encounters and got nothing

But I’m curious if I have another account

I DO

https://tenor.com/view/kyogre-kyogresmile-pokemon-pokemon-smile-kyogre-creepy-gif-19828510

[shadow wind]

What encounters?

[molten oasis]

Pokémon go is giving you encounters for every sub legendary (lando coballion etc) and then 5 genesects

I tried lando a couple times didn’t get it

[cyan smelt]

What do I have to do to get them

[shadow wind]

Wowza

[molten oasis]

Open the app

Go to events, they’re all there

But you have to catch them and when you click on one you have to catch it

[cyan smelt]

Oh man I don't have enough Pokeballs for all of them

[molten oasis]

I used like, 50

[shadow wind]

I just realized I actually have to play ladder to critique my team 😔

VGC players when they have to play VGC

[molten oasis]

Real

[shadow wind]

It’s weird, I want to play ladder but I know my current mindset should not be playing ladder

The account I’m playing on is too high of stakes

Which is dumb because it’s a random account with no sentimental value

[molten oasis]

Fellas

Pokemon day is upon us

https://tenor.com/view/kyogre-kyogresmile-pokemon-pokemon-smile-kyogre-creepy-gif-19828510

Im pulling an all nighter

[shadow wind]

I thought it was yesterday

Dang is that why all that was shown was that stupid Dragonite?

Swear on my life that Dragonite did nothing cool

[molten oasis]

You would have seen news?

Of, something

[shadow wind]

Yeah that’s what I was thinking

But I ended up watching a 14 minute video of a Dragonite delivering mail

In the end I was thoroughly disappointed

[molten oasis]

That’s not it lmao

It’s at 6 am PT today

[shadow wind]

Oh bless

I ain’t gonna lie that hat the Dragonite had one was tough

He was kinda chill too

I mess with that Dragonite actually

[real prairie]

Morning

[molten oasis]

Ready for pokemon day?

I’m pulling an all nighter (I’m cooked)

[opal trout]

There is a tournament tomorrow

[molten oasis]

There’s a regional tomorrow?

[opal trout]

Last time I didn’t sleep well before a tournament it went horribly

[opal trout]

No, it’s an online tournament

[molten oasis]

Oh gotcha, good luck

[opal trout]

I need to finish making my team lol

[molten oasis]

You got this

[opal trout]

I’ve done nothing for the past 3 days 🤣

Time to get Tera shards

[molten oasis]

Aw, that’s the worst part

[opal trout]

Yeah

I don’t have the Tera shard charm thing

[shadow wind]

Wish I had time for tournaments

They all happen at the worst times for me

But I think the Bo3 ladder has made me appreciate them more

Bo3 ladder is way better than Bo1

[molten oasis]

I don’t generally have time for bo3

I play when I have like, 10-15 minutes

[shadow wind]

Fair

I’ve been loving it

Even just the OTS aspect

But also I like solving the puzzle of the MU

I usually lose the first game then win the next 2

[molten oasis]

Nice

[shadow wind]

Team definitely still needs tweaks but I haven’t played any game since my first climb

[real prairie]

Think he means global challenge

[molten oasis]

Yea I figured

[real prairie]

No idea what the codes do but...

[molten oasis]

Calyrex exists

[real prairie]

But.... There is a good chance for mega Ludicolo 👀

[molten oasis]

That would be cool

[real prairie]

Hope they don't butcher my girl

[molten oasis]

Gives it truant for no reason

[real prairie]

I meant appearance lol

Maybe mega gets drizzle 🤣

[molten oasis]

That be neat

[chrome knot]

but then no swift swim

then you just have slow guy..

[real prairie]

But 100 extra stats somewhere, they may make it finally physically bulky too and it can be a big bulky Mon

ive seen a few people use durantis

hmmm what would be the best nasty plot baton pass pokemon

this is the stupidest move ive ever seen lmao

[real prairie]

Ima break it to you, baton pass strats struggle in VGC, just set up with the Mon you want to set up

[astral kelp]

that is very fair

btw quick question

what does morpeko do like
what do you get from hangry mode

[next stump]

its signature move switches type

aura wheel

[astral kelp]

oh thats it ic

i thought maybe there could be a stat change or something cool like that

iiinteresting

thats hilarious

THATS CRAZY

who dis

[next stump]

what are the chances we get any VGC relevant announcements

as in maybe the next game we are playing in

[chrome knot]

tapus return

[foggy lodge]

I think there is something

But I think we can't talk it here and there's a chance is just a fake rumour

[spiral ridge]

That would be neat

[mighty stump]

what channel is the Pokemon Presents on

[mighty stump]

This channel is a spoiler zone

Cause we discuss immediately

[bold geode]

Hello Tofu

[polar canyon]

Pokemon third person platform based shooter is coming

There's so gonna be megas in gen 10

I don't think they're announcing gen 10 yet

But like there's so gonna be an ancient kalosian form with a mega that you have to transfer to gen 10 if you want it for competitive

[real prairie]

any spoilers on the background anyone spot?

[polar canyon]

We're gonna get pokemon 2

[real prairie]

furret 1 minute into the presents, @torn parrot having the best day of her life LOL

Darkrai in pokemon Sleep LOL, Not sure on that one

[molten oasis]

I’m so tired

[real prairie]

Alcremie getting some attention

[polar canyon]

Pokemon sleep gonna have an anti nightmare feature

They're going faaast about the spinoff game news this time

Announcements speedrun

[real prairie]

mega evolution in the TCG suggests we might be getting it back for VGC too

VGC MOBILE

[polar canyon]

Vgc mobile

[chrome knot]

DNWKEUCYWNRKFHDB POKEMON SHOWDOWN THATS CROSS PLATFORM

[real prairie]

LETS GO!

[polar canyon]

Gotta know how you get the battle ready mons

Better be as easy as showdown

[knotty mirage]

So technically a new stadium game

[polar canyon]

Oh they're so gonna monetize the game around unlocking pokemon you don't have if you don't connect with main games

[mighty stump]

POKEMON CHAMPIKN

CROSS SHWODOWN

NFNEKEDBSK

KSNENWI

[real prairie]

Hi FU

[mighty stump]

@chrome knot

[real prairie]

[dense latch]

PLEASE DONT CEASE AND DESIST SHOWDOWN

[spiral ridge]

Pokémon champions

[dense latch]

BUT LETS GOOOO

[real prairie]

Ooof lets not think about that

[spiral ridge]

With multiple battle mechanics at once??

It showed mega vs Tera

[polar canyon]

Oh yeah that's gonna be interesting

More hype than a gen 10 announcement

[real prairie]

what if all future VGC moves to Champions??!!!

[polar canyon]

Except they're gonna find some annoying way to monetize it

[mighty stump]

MY EMBOAR

THIS LOOKS SO GOOD

[tired atlas]

I just very loudly dropped the f bomb in the coffee shop I’m in, I hope you’re happy

[spiral ridge]

PLEASE LET ME CATCH ETERNAL FLOWTTE

[real prairie]

Well this absolutely isn't going to be VGC battle system LOL

[tired atlas]

I hate my life, why did they ruin my perfect game with Em*oar

[real prairie]

Christmas launch then

[chrome knot]

gang what was that

[real prairie]

no idea!

"Promotional match"?

[molten oasis]

Starters are interesting

[karmic temple]

Tofu stocks going up !!

[real prairie]

Mega Meganium and Feraligator gonna be WILD

[molten oasis]

It’s either mega’s or regional forms

[karmic temple]

I wonder why 2 gen2 starters

[mighty stump]

I AM VERY HAPPY

[lofty tartan]

I'm down with this.

[mighty stump]

THIS GUARANTEES MEGA EMBOAR

[polar canyon]

Mega meganium gonna be real too

[real prairie]

lets see what Wolfe has to say

[polar canyon]

Very meganium

[bold geode]

Oh I forgot Crest hates Emboar LMAO

[solid frigate]

i'm fine with the starters honestly

[molten oasis]

Emboar and meganium getting love is nice

[bold geode]

@forest arrow hey babe

[tired atlas]

I’m happy you’re enjoying the antithesis to my existence

[spiral ridge]

I’m so fucking ready for this

[molten oasis]

Oh hi crest

[tired atlas]

And love Kalos, this is a spit in my face

[spiral ridge]

I love all these starters

[bold geode]

Hahahahahahaha hahahaha
Funny time

[real prairie]

the big news is still VGC Mobile

[polar canyon]

Idk how to feel about the game tbh I love how the battles are looking but don't know if I like that it's just regular lumiose city

[dull ibex]

Thoughts on the vgc game?

[polar canyon]

Mega emboar better be good there

[molten oasis]

megas and tera

[spiral ridge]

It looks fun

[polar canyon]

Wonder how they're gonna go about gen 10 competitive now that they're making vgc mobile

[real prairie]

Wolfe doesn't use Vitamins lol

manual EV training

LOONGG

[molten oasis]

I wonder if that’s going to be like

Super limited options

[lofty tartan]

Very down.

[molten oasis]

Or it’s just whatever is usable

[solid frigate]

we saw Dozo and Aegislash

[knotty mirage]

Looking at plza battle system yeah it's seem's there will be no comp for this game

[tired atlas]

If he is, I’m quitting VGC for life

/j, I’m not that big of a hater

[polar canyon]

My bet is that they're gonna monetize it over people who don't connect it to the main games, like you don't have swsh and home connected to bring your own teams? Get the paid membership to use caly shadow

Incineroar rillaboom battle pass

[molten oasis]

Lmfao

[lofty tartan]

Kangaskhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan

[polar canyon]

Worst thing is I think that's a genuine possibility

[real prairie]

i doubt that with Gamefreak involved

then tend not to lean that way

[foggy lodge]

So

[polar canyon]

What company made pokemon unite

[spiral ridge]

There will probably be a grind way and a pay way like unite

[foggy lodge]

We got a real showdown i think

[molten oasis]

If there’s a battle pass man

[spiral ridge]

Battle pass to unlock diff teras

[foggy lodge]

Tencent

[real prairie]

looks that way

[molten oasis]

I hope it is real showdown but does that mean that’s where VGC goes?

[foggy lodge]

idk

[polar canyon]

I think if there is it's gonna be targeted towards people who don't have the other games connected and need a way to unlock mons

[real prairie]

Could be

[foggy lodge]

If it was only for switch i would say it is but for mobile?

[polar canyon]

They also didn't mention champions being f2p did they

Probably is tho

[foggy lodge]

Maybe official VGC just stays in the mainline game but its for "testing" without having the game?

[molten oasis]

It costs like $30 lol

[foggy lodge]

Its free

[polar canyon]

Would be awkward with the cross platform

[molten oasis]

Ok

[foggy lodge]

If its for mobile then its probably free

Anyways if they don't have something like the bo3 ladder

[molten oasis]

It would probably be for free

[foggy lodge]

Showdown will still be just better

[real prairie]

I think Showdown probably survives regardless because of its utility for practicing quickly and easy documentation

unless Champions has ingame reports

then GG

[polar canyon]

At least it makes official in game building more viable hopefully

[foggy lodge]

Yeah

You just have to register a mon in the home pokedex and you can use them

[polar canyon]

That's exactly also why I think the way they'll monetize it is by giving a separate unlocking method for people without other pokemon games

[real prairie]

the monetization comes from Home is my guessing

[molten oasis]

I’m also curious if they’ll separate that if that becomes a point of competitive play

[real prairie]

you have limited box capacity on the free version

if you genuinely need the mons to practice in the home dex, you need the box space

[polar canyon]

I think it's gonna be based on registered pokedex rather than currently stored otherwise that's kinda annoying

[molten oasis]

That is pretty annoying

Paying for home kinda sucks

[polar canyon]

That and just having to keep them in home

[real prairie]

I genuinely wasn't expecting anything competitive to come from today, fuck me was i wrong

[polar canyon]

I mean technically tcg and tcgp are competitive

And unite

[real prairie]

you know i meant VGC lol

[polar canyon]

Idk if pokemon masters has online

[solid frigate]

it has

[polar canyon]

That too then

[solid frigate]

but its not PVP

[polar canyon]

I'm also only now realizing it too but we're getting natdex vgc

Probably

[real prairie]

if we move to Champions, yeah

[polar canyon]

Wonder if there's gonna be restricted legendary seasons

It would be hype if they made it just 2 separate formats actually

Because I do not wanna be forced into a format with mega ray in it

[real prairie]

a format where you have to pick to mega or tera is mad though

[polar canyon]

Oh yeah they didn't touch on that did they

Wether you get to do both per match or pick one

Like if you can use tera on one pokemon and mega another in one game

[molten oasis]

I think the game would cycle those

Like what is and isn’t legal

[polar canyon]

At least in the cinematic trailer they're using tera vs mega in the same game right?

[real prairie]

we literally just watched a mega charizard go head to head with a tera dondozo lol

safe to assume there will be a play mode that can happen in

[chrome knot]

ok but youre not gonna be able to stack them like you cant stack zmoves & megas in gen7

[polar canyon]

Do we know that

[chrome knot]

its that simple😭

why on fucking earth would they let you do that

[real prairie]

Nah, itll be a bring both, pick 1 situation

[molten oasis]

It’ll be that

I don’t need the mega charizard to be a steel type ty

[polar canyon]

I mean why not

[molten oasis]

Cuz that would be broken

[polar canyon]

Oh you mean stack on top of one pokemon

Yeah no

[real prairie]

Mega Kangaskhan Tera ghost

[molten oasis]

nah lmfao

[polar canyon]

I mean I'm wondering if you're gonna be able to use megas and tera in the same match like how you can in fact use z-moves and megas in gen 7 just not on the same pokemon

[molten oasis]

I’m more curious if we’ll see like, a set amount of mons gets banned every format to make things different instead of just cycling the gimmicks

[real prairie]

seeing megas and tera's in the same batle opens up a whole lore conversation too... they are supposed to be separate universes/timelines

[polar canyon]

I think that happened like one time for a single season in gen 8 which was cool and I wish happened more often

[real prairie]

So ZA could be HUGE for lore

[bold geode]

@mighty stump you think there's any universe where they use Champions for the official circuit since it's on Switch and mobile?

[polar canyon]

I mean the lore would just be that paldea still has terapagos in the universe where megas exist

[real prairie]

yeah i suppose

[polar canyon]

Makes me wonder if we're ever gonna see team rainbow rocket again now

[solid frigate]

at least Terapagos and Ogerpon is keeping Tera

[polar canyon]

They're like still out there in the multiverse

[polar canyon]

Ogerpon can still be good without tera at least

Now I'm wondering how like urshifu is gonna fare in a meta with megas

Probably just fine

I hope mega meganium is grass fairy just so it fully counters urshifu stab

Just pretend it doesn't get poison jab

[molten oasis]

Well, amoonguss does that

Peli does that

[polar canyon]

We also get tapu koko + future paradoxes which could be cool? I guess

[molten oasis]

We have counterplay lol

[polar canyon]

I mean both forms

Not that there isn't counterplay

I just want more because that would be cool

[solid frigate]

at least Urshifu is gonna fuck the CHALK TEAM if anyone is gonna fight that

[polar canyon]

I forgot which ones some of those letters represent

Khan cress heatran something something?

[gentle crag]

Result: 2182.500000

Result: 217.500000

[polar canyon]

What's that math for

[molten oasis]

Cress heatran amoonguss? Lando khangsaskan

[solid frigate]

taxes

[polar canyon]

Wonder if miraidon and both calyrex are gonna run rampant with megas natdex as much as they do now

[molten oasis]

[solid frigate]

Xerneas

[polar canyon]

Air balloon tera electric shedinja is real now btw

[solid frigate]

Hearthflame

[polar canyon]

Didn't say it's viable

It's real though

And also sand and any damaging status

[real prairie]

@shadow wind the only MU Wolfe strugged with was Groudon, nows your time to shine 🤣

[little plank]

Welp was debating keeping my ps5 or selling it and using the money for a switch 2... but with pokemon champions I may just keep the ps5 lol

[real prairie]

keep the ps5, save for the switch 2 ig

[molten oasis]

Switch 2 isn’t for a while I think

[molten oasis]

Woah

[solid frigate]

Woah

[real prairie]

a lot of focus on Talonflame line

mega Talonflame with gale wings could be FILTHY

[molten oasis]

True

[real prairie]

just completely nuke any other TW setter before they can get TW up, then TW itself after

[polar canyon]

Mega talonflame but they just lean in on it being bulky support

Would be funny

[solid frigate]

CSR+Primals

Koraidon would be absolutely fucked if Primal Groudon is here

[twin kindle]

I doubt za will have comp

[molten oasis]

Did you not see the news?

They’re making basically pokemon showdown

[foggy lodge]

Maybe its just a way to kill Pokémon showdown idk

Everything is weird

[molten oasis]

Maybe

[foggy lodge]

We need more news about that game

[molten oasis]

We will just have to wait and see what happens and what it fully is

There is nothing clear

it wont.

[solid frigate]

Terapagos is gonna be fucked cuz Tera does not remove the weather of Primal Mons

[twin kindle]

Slithery swines

[patent marsh]

They'll probably do a swsh and ban certain mons? Which would make sense if they're gonna have as many gimmicks and all pokemon available

[twin kindle]

Whats it like

[solid frigate]

[twin kindle]

Honestly I could use a switch up I’m starting to get lil bored of reg g

[patent marsh]

Having top used pokemon ban per season would be smart choice for that kind of format

[patent marsh]

Game just announced it's development hasn't shown actual gameplay

[real prairie]

Also for anyone that cares, there is a fuck ton of hat pikas in Pokémon go to catch

[patent marsh]

You'd get reg I before the game comes out

[real prairie]

Probably 3 more Regs

[solid frigate]

I mean i would just prep for Reg I

[foggy lodge]

National dex is official now😭

But also wtf is going to happen in 2026

4th year of SV??

[torn parrot]

GAMEFRWAK FINALLY SAYING HEY
WE MAKE SHOWDOWN TOO

[real prairie]

Pokémon champions

[spiral ridge]

XERNEAS TIME

[torn parrot]

ITS MEGA FURRET TIME

NOT COPING

[spiral ridge]

Lmao

Man I can’t wait for ZA and a new meta will be fun to learn

[solid frigate]

i an not gonna be happy with championships lmao

[torn parrot]

Im so god damn sick of sv competitive you guys

Time for something fresh

[spiral ridge]

Championships if it’s Tera and mega same time I prob won’t take it too serious and just mess around

[torn parrot]

What if z moves too??

[solid frigate]

Megas+Tera+Restricteds

[spiral ridge]

Maybe I hope so

[torn parrot]

Im so ready for this

[spiral ridge]

It’s gonna be a shit show

[solid frigate]

it’s gonna be pain

CSR and CIR would be way more broken lmao witb Primals

[patent marsh]

Think in the long run they'll reach a point where it'll have all the gimmicks ideally

[foggy lodge]

Man Im so hyped for champions actually but like

[patent marsh]

Gigantamax charizard go brrr

[foggy lodge]

We know nothing about it, I don't know if they are using it for tournaments, if it will have the regulation on it, ladder, where does VGC stay

I didn't found anything on the website

[patent marsh]

The mainline games will probably stay to whatever's available in the game

While champions is just format with everything going nuts

Maybe rotating bans to keep it fresh

[next stump]

it would make a ton of sense for VGC to be hosted in one game that just updates itself

they can also focus on making the game not run like shit

[foggy lodge]

Please

And battles look actually good

[real prairie]

Hi

Yay new badge

[patent marsh]

That's just render not gameplay btw :monkaSteer:

[foggy lodge]

I mean the trailer kinda focus on VGC if it showed doubles

[foggy lodge]

I know im not chuppa cross lmao

[patent marsh]

Yea their main point is vgc doubles

Singles not as good for tournament content especially when it's just mostly bst 1v1s most of the time

[fluid fiber]

I went for clay because I have some support next to it most games, but depending on how the GC goes i may swap to Sash.

[solid frigate]

RIP my Phone storage

[fluid fiber]

I'm so stoked for Champions, PBR was my childhood

[stray girder]

how come basculegion cant learn final gambit on showdown when it says on bulbapedia that basculin learns it at lvl 40

[solid frigate]

Is that from PLA

[stray girder]

oh

nvm then

[bold geode]

So you think going forward they try to use Champions for regionals?

[real prairie]

id imagine so

Tyler the Creator hyped for Pokemon Champions

[torn parrot]

Im excited for tcg pocket ranked

[real prairie]

Right, i should probably do some actual work now

[calm gulch]

[bold geode]

Imma bully you on there

[charred saddle]
