What made someone at gamfreak look at tinglu and be like: "Yeah, that thing should be able to dig underground." ?

[chrome knot]

??? are u seeing that guy

[mint void]

Yeah

Thats my concern

[chrome knot]

he literally is the ground

[mint void]

Unless he can phase like Kitty Pride bro is not gonna be digging underground like that

He is not build like that

[dapper crag]

Ting-Lu is described as being able to create fissures over 160 feet deep just by slowly putting down its head on the ground

Can probably jump in one

How does it have about the attack stat of Gyarados?

Tsareena fights using finely honed kicks and graceful movements. Every time it lands a hit, it cackles at its opponent. It will even continue kicking or stepping on a downed opponent, laughing boisterously.

[solid frigate]

Pokemon Logic

also Gen 7-9 Pokemon have unreasonable stats

[real prairie]

Funny because I do the same thing every time my Tsareena OHKOs a Rillaboom

[real prairie]

I'd imagine his big bowl head is pretty good for digging

Like a walking excavator

He’s make a great cereal bowl

[foggy lodge]

Ability shield is trash tbh lol

Only works if you are the one playing Weezing

So you still have your lines like the ability shield Koraidon team

[real prairie]

ability shield tornadus or Whims might be a vibe

[foggy lodge]

Idk

[real prairie]

its super niche

[foggy lodge]

Item for 1/10 matches

[real prairie]

maybe for GC because people will assume cloak anyway

i forgot to item my Tornadus for GC and didn't get fake out once in 45 games 🤣

Hey stinky

[astral kelp]

do people do this lmao

oh

woops

aw man

[astral kelp]

30 speed btw

[lost sun]

in double battles would landorus be better as a special attacker if paired with kyogre as it won't hit kyogre

[solid frigate]

its just a Miraidon Check

also Lando T is fallen after Incin showed up

[lost sun]

don't really have anything good for electric types tho

seeing raging bolt a lot aswell

[solid frigate]

i mean the only good ones are Miraidon and thaaat

[cyan smelt]

Hands

[solid frigate]

and that

[cyan smelt]

Seems like more miraidons are running other items than the specs because I've watched some games and they've been using protect

[lost sun]

what should I use then

my teams kyogre whimsicot scizor roaring moon fluttermane and I was gonna replace ogerpon with landorus

[mint void]

Lando I is great in your case

Sandsear cant miss in Rain

Very powerful with Lorb or a fast threat with Scarf

EP from LOrb almost KOs all Urshifu (almist cause I havent run calcs)

[lost sun]

what moves should I give it

[cyan smelt]

usually earth power, sandsear and sludge bomb

[lost sun]

was thinking sandsear psychic sludge wave idk about the 4th cus it doesn't have any special flying moves

y bomb and not wave

[cyan smelt]

sludge wave hurts allies

and is weaker because it's a spread move

[azure ether]

wide guard too

[real prairie]

GL to everyone competing today, I'm rooting for you

https://tenor.com/view/pokemon-cheer-lets-go-yeah-happy-gif-17339719081473590823

[lost sun]

did not know it does that

how much weaker, is it halfed

[real prairie]

All spread moves are 25% weaker to multi targets

If it single target its full power

[solid frigate]

unless your name is water spout Kyogre

With Tera Water

[real prairie]

Haha if it didn't have the nerf it would delete literally everything

[chrome knot]

me when the tw spout lead

[solid frigate]

thats why i love Covert Cloak Kyogre so much

[chrome knot]

av bolt is my bandaid fix 😭

bait tera then find boardstate where clicking tr is real

[solid frigate]

i hate fighting Kyogre as CIR damn it

[chrome knot]

its not that bad

[real prairie]

Tsareena to block the thunderclap and blow it up with triple axel 🤣

[chrome knot]

im tera water raging bolt so enjoy mindgame

[dense latch]

i feel u it can get so annoying

[real prairie]

Pretty sure power whip + waterspout kills then so I wouldn't bother with Triple axel at all lol

[dense latch]

tera water cir is what helped me through that

[chrome knot]

i have 4 tera waters on my team😭

[chrome knot]

…and then i dont tera :3

[real prairie]

I meant even if you don't tera

[chrome knot]

defo not

[solid frigate]

unless i nuke Kyogre with Wood Hammer from Ogerpon

[chrome knot]

im defensively bulky and have av

I'd ask your Def investment but you are about to play 🤣

[chrome knot]

tera fire ?

you’ve somehow made it bad,,,,,

[solid frigate]

exactly.

[left bobcat]

It’s everywhere

[foggy lodge]

How does Dragonite always hit the protect with outrage god

[dense latch]

imagine if outrage had smart targeting like dragon darts

would be so busted yet so fun to just click and win

[foggy lodge]

Choice band darkshifu with lorb Miraidon i hate this ladder😭

I won with poison stall

Does anyone want to run a bo3 rn I want to practice for the spearpillar tournament

[dapper crag]

Why does the tang team use tera fairy on C-IR instead of tera normal for C-SR matchups?

[dense latch]

tera fairy is a good neutral type, resists dark and allows cir to wall zamazenta

[dapper crag]

I hardly go against Zamazenta

And i usually lead with C-IR plus Ogrepon

[chrome knot]

ok maybe u hardly do but its cirs hardest mu

[foggy lodge]

The only bad thing about the tera fairy is the steel weakness

[dapper crag]

I'm having a hard time with C-SR what do i do in those matchups?

[dense latch]

the tangs said in the team report that they’d drop cir in the csr balance mu sometimes

[chrome knot]

^amoonguss/lando/rilla/moon

[dapper crag]

It doesn't have rilla

[dense latch]

emma meant ursh prob

[dapper crag]

Ah

[chrome knot]

sorry i meant ursh

[dense latch]

they did say csr balance was really hard before they added cloak amoonguss

so it’s probably in your best interest to take advantage of that

[dapper crag]

Wish i played doubles years ago instead of overwatch

This game is much more rewarding but harder

[foggy lodge]

Me but with smash

Losing time playing smash

Everything wasted because Steve destroyed the game😭

[solid frigate]

god wha-

[lost sun]

Any items I should change?

also what terra type should landorus be currently it's ground

[dense latch]

water and poison are both good choices

why moon and whimsicott? feel like that’s overkill

[lost sun]

I'll go poison since it has sludge bomb

[dense latch]

no need for two tw setters imo

[lost sun]

moon ain't got tw

should i swap it for incineroar?

[rustic mountain]

tough

[rustic mountain]

usually something defensive like water

[rustic mountain]

id reconsider scizor and flutter and think of getting some anti priority like giraffe or tsareena. also u can just forgo prankster tw and just put it on moon and free up ur whims slot

[lost sun]

prankster tw let's me hit first with kyogre even against calyrex shadow

[rustic mountain]

lotta csr have double fake out. sure ur whims can get up tw, but if they fake out cycle and just barrage u down, speed control isnt necessarily gna help u much

[real prairie]

How we getting on @chrome knot @balmy glen

[bold geode]

Not the best CSR comp I've seen now
I'll let ya figure out which one is the best imo

[rustic mountain]

prolly weezing csr

what's csr

[bold geode]

Shadow Rider

What’s best Mon competitively in yalls opinion?

[foggy lodge]

Urshifu water

[austere sun]

Shadow rider caly goes crazy

[next stump]

urshifu or incin

[foggy lodge]

I think Pagos can take this regional

[austere sun]

Especially with decorate smeargle lead

[foggy lodge]

Rockpon Pagos is so broken

Rilla Rockpon Pagos

[austere sun]

IMO best pon form is fire

[solid frigate]

Incin.

literally the best mon

[foggy lodge]

btw 2-1 at spear pillar lost to rockpon pagos because its my unwinnable match up xd

[solid frigate]

if its not Incin then i guess Ogerpon for the flexibility

[austere sun]

I usually lead caly shadow and pon fire with follow me so i can set up a nasty plot then sweep

well definitely i guess i dont see why he’d be paired up with a 3-1 otherwise

[real prairie]

They mentioned it on stream, him playing a 3-1 Pikachu and Ho-oh team

[foggy lodge]

Its 10 rounds for this regional right?

[real prairie]

8

[fallow palm]

id rather use tornadous

[foggy lodge]

No but i mean the whole regional

That's only for today

[fallow palm]

i need moves for flutter and dog and tournadous clefariy too

[bold geode]

Ho Oh doing like literally shit?

[real prairie]

12 I think if you don't make top cut

[dense latch]

how long are they usually?

bc this one’s a smaller one right

idk if that’ll lower the rounds tho

[real prairie]

No idea now, but it was 3-1 earlier when they said Keanu faced it 🤣

[foggy lodge]

Yeah it's 10

This one is smaller than the usual 600 people ones

[bold geode]

Wild

[foggy lodge]

CIR for hard TR now lol

Lunala wasn't good enough

[bold geode]

WHY TF
THAT HAS TO BE A TYPO
IRON DEFENSE CHOICE BAND

[foggy lodge]

Lmao

[dense latch]

yea it’s def supposed to be iron head

but iron defense is first alphabetically so some employee might’ve put that instead

[real prairie]

?

[dense latch]

that should not happen this often lol

anyone remember overdrive torkoal

[spiral ridge]

strong +6 defense what abt it

[foggy lodge]

His team from EUIC

Its such a cool team

[bold geode]

I mean we're human so

[real prairie]

Are we talking about the urshifu?

I was iron head

Saw*

[bold geode]

Ah
It said Iron Defense for me

[dense latch]

yea i don’t blame them at all it’s a very small mistake

[bold geode]

Yeah they've done way worse before LMAO

[foggy lodge]

Pepe why didn't you tera

[bold geode]

Yeah lemme find what happened with Knoxville uh

[dense latch]

[spiral ridge]

[real prairie]

Brian in click buttons mode

Nvm he swapped to TR

[bold geode]

That ain't it

I can't find it but in finals Toler Webb had Wicked Blow Incineroar and 2 Incineroars

[foggy lodge]

Why didn't he switch to Indeedee?

[foggy lodge]

Joseph is giving all the people streaming vancouver a game 3 on stream finally

Some of the worst games I've seen in a long time on stream

[left bobcat]

Huhhhhhh

[foggy lodge]

@dense latch how did MDB react

This was one of the games of all time

[dense latch]

went straight to the calc

what was that play lmao

[bold geode]

Yotam in Day 2 LFG

[dense latch]

mdb’s just starting game 2 so he just reacted to the miraidon dying turn 1

[chrome knot]

[chrome knot]

idk theres nothing left to ramble about

LL impossible mu
LL Zachary Mnich
LWL made right call but tera was unnecessary

[real prairie]

Anything idm honestly 😊

[chrome knot]

in which tera costed me the game

it just sucks being so disappointingly mid

3-0 to 3-3 is fucking rancid

and its like rly hard not to feel stupid crying over a kids game you play “competitively”

[dense latch]

there’s no shame in letting some emotions out after a rough day, no matter what the context is

[chrome knot]

im just so tired of placing like ass

when will anything mean something no matter how fucking hard i try

[bold geode]

Damn

[chrome knot]

its x-3drop, x-4 garbage placements

[bold geode]

I feel this so much and I don't even compete in the circuit
But in a sense
That's honestly why I try so hard

Cuz I want more than anything for it to mean something

[real prairie]

Hold up, don't beat yourself up. You put a lot of effort into this and you deserve to feel sad

[chrome knot]

its not a surprising outcome in fairness

[real prairie]

Just have to keep at it, it'll click eventually

[chrome knot]

my lifecycle rn is prep for an unhealthy amount of time for regional, feel great and ready to play, place so mid that it hurts, will anything ever mean something (??)

[left bobcat]

Wooooooo

[bold geode]

I don't worry as much about prep anymore
Honestly Wolfe said something I agree with
There is such a thing as prepping too much and not to make life just Pokemon

[left bobcat]

Oh that’s right chat don’t forget to listen to my mixtape

[solid frigate]

i don't prep that much honestly

[real prairie]

Take a few days to digest the games , think about what you could have done better with and what the team could do with improving and go again

[left bobcat]

And eat a bag of chips

[real prairie]

Here's the thing about pokemon, it's not going anywhere

I'ma play til my hands don't let me anymore

Into my 90s if I cann

[chrome knot]

literal unwinnable mu

top player that played recklessly after winning g1 to me hitting 2 minimum rolls in a 1v1

i tera’d unnecessarily

thats all my misplays for this weekend

[real prairie]

What was the unwinnable MU? How can you adjust the team to fix that?

[dapper crag]

You put in the work and had a result. that gives you room to think about what you could've done better+your weaknesses it's a win win imo

[foggy lodge]

Ryan Loseto aka sableyevgc on stream

Vs a Lunala

[bold geode]

I honestly feel like the more prep I've done, worse the results

[left bobcat]

Sometimes you just gotta chillax

[dapper crag]

Don't beat yourself up too much you're there to have fun at the end of the day

[solid frigate]

Zama is mostly terrible for CIR

I just use Hearthflame most of the time

[real prairie]

I forced myself to lock in my team the 1st day I could so I knew I couldn't stress for the last week up til the regional

[left bobcat]

Yeah don’t beat yourself up over it especially if you don’t have stamina and body press

[chrome knot]

Im unsure how cir is supposed to beat Zamazenta, Dragonite, Chien-Pao, Ditto, Amoonguss, Chi-Yu in any capacity

[real prairie]

Oof

[chrome knot]

even Kylan agreed that it was genuinely unwinnable lmfao

[dense latch]

no yea that’s unwinnable

[solid frigate]

hearthflame idk?

[real prairie]

I'm not disagreeing, just asking lol

[bold geode]

Really just a little wonky imo

You'd still run tera grass, but the idea of being able to tera grass and boost your Def and your Sp Def, just become an unkillable whale

[fringe fossil]

Question about regional comps. Can anyone sign up to compete in them if you have a team? Thinking about maybe competing in the New Orleans one if I enjoy this event I’m doing at my uni and wanna take it further

[left bobcat]

Your delusion scares me

I’m just kidding

[real prairie]

My delusion carries me, why else would I run Ludicolo

My first two losses I got crit 8 times in auto win situations other wise then faced an auto loss on my last round

[real prairie]

Ah man

Fucking hell

[balmy glen]

The guy had the audacity to tell me it wasn’t an auto loss lmao

bro said it wasn’t an auto loss but I still think u played well like ok man

Ts pmo

[bold geode]

Wait so a Pikachu didn't do bad and a Rhyperior
Wtf is this format bro

[shadow wind]

It's extremely centralized

If your team can beat the main 4-5 restricteds you'll do quite well

Until they eventually make a team with a counter to that counter

[rustic mountain]

yea gna keep an eye out onnit cuz idk wat ur talkin bout

[rustic mountain]

this format is miserable

[shadow wind]

It’s actually just rock paper scissor gun

Without the horses the format could actually be fun

[rustic mountain]

maybe haha its hard to say

[foggy lodge]

You would still have Miraidon

:v

[rustic mountain]

ofc how else is groudon gna be relevant

[shadow wind]

They just don’t lose to anything

Like they do but they don’t

[rustic mountain]

they do

[spiral ridge]

i mean both have typing issues to an extent but yeah

[rustic mountain]

they r just less forgiving and yea tera

[shadow wind]

In this generation no they don’t

[atomic mural]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQpljWXsQXQ they made this?

[foggy lodge]

I saw that

[spiral ridge]

CSR is all issues before tera
CIR is some issues with choosing what tera cus lotta teras it wants to go something doubles up on it

[shadow wind]

Calyrex + Rillaboom + Incin + Urshifu + Raging bolt

[foggy lodge]

Its a highlight of "best moments of Toronto"

[rustic mountain]

makes sense hes easily the most recognizable vgc player

[foggy lodge]

Its just the whole final😭

[atomic mural]

well yeah

[rustic mountain]

if they wanna expand the comp scene going thru him is a smart decision cuz more ppl r inclined to watch

[atomic mural]

hes the only reason i started playing competitive pokemon

[rustic mountain]

i rest my case

[shadow wind]

Like when team building I don’t want to have to go “Hmm, how do I not instantly lose to Calyrex Ice and Shadow?”

[foggy lodge]

Doesn't that happen in every format

[shadow wind]

Not as badly

[rustic mountain]

i had 2 dark types and a normal type vs this csr team and he goes man u must really hate caly s and its like uhhh im just being respectful towards it? + the mons have value outside that mu

[foggy lodge]

How do i not lose to indeedee sneasler

😭

[shadow wind]

That is not the same

[rustic mountain]

just makes sense to do

[shadow wind]

Ghost type is offensively insane

[spiral ridge]

mans prob used ot people super prepping for CIR he thought shit was personal 😭

[shadow wind]

It can’t hit dark and normal

Yknow what Mon is really good? Urshifu

[rustic mountain]

hahah dude def thought he was being counter teamed

[shadow wind]

And their stats are just too min maxed

[spiral ridge]

"this guy isnt just super counter to highest PR%. he must fucking hate me"

[shadow wind]

150 speed and 165 spatk

[foggy lodge]

me because i lost to hard TR with blursa indeedee sneasler at spearpillar

[shadow wind]

Especially in doubles, it’s too versatile to have a screen nuke that has 2 resists

[rustic mountain]

hahah it be like that but idk they r pretty common mons anyway dude acted like i picked the nichest of choices. it was pao incin and giraffe lmao

[foggy lodge]

😭

[shadow wind]

I just hate the horses with a passion

[spiral ridge]

lol 😭

[shadow wind]

And Tera, least favourite gimmick

[foggy lodge]

Its the price of using the most broken restricted

[rustic mountain]

teras a good gimmick

[shadow wind]

I hate it competitively

[spiral ridge]

that shit is also amazing into CIR too idk why he thought that was purely for CSR lmao

[rustic mountain]

its objectively the best comp gimmick weve had imo

[foggy lodge]

Tera forces 50s or just doesn't let you cover for everything so if you want to play safe its annoying

[spiral ridge]

nah bro eevium baton pass was healthy

[foggy lodge]

Some people play very risky with that like MDB and it works for them

[shadow wind]

I know it’s good and all and really innovative but I personally dislike it a lot

[foggy lodge]

Forcing teras is some of the most satisfactory things imo tho

[rustic mountain]

its a bit different in cts but for ots i think its fine cuz u know wat ur looking for. + if u play enough u know mostly wat teras ur covering for

[foggy lodge]

Like I feel like megamind when i force a tera and then i reveal my mon in the back that just sweeps because of the tera forced

[rustic mountain]

no gimmick is perfect either

[spiral ridge]

OTS makes tera lot more healthy

[shadow wind]

I will agree OTS makes Tera way way better

[forest arrow]

I agree with this

Was saying this earlier today

[spiral ridge]

yeah so especially since they use OTS in regionals i think is fine

[foggy lodge]

This game was made for OTS

[shadow wind]

I still don’t like how it makes the stronger mons stronger and it never gives the weaker mons even a niche use

[rustic mountain]

thats every gimmick

[foggy lodge]

Tera goes from the worst gimmick to the best with OTS

[rustic mountain]

the strong get stronger

[spiral ridge]

and GC teams were made in the darkness of CTS
im so glad most GC teams never reach regionals imagine missing day 2 to some GC team thats just a 6 tteam of 3 annoying specific leads

[shadow wind]

Alright well tell me the next time Charizard gets used

I like when different mons have niches

Not just the same boring FWGE quartet

[rustic mountain]

zard did decent in reg h. it also needed its own specific gmax form w/ a signature move to be relevant in swsh, sometimes that happens. the trade offs tho on having dmax as ur mechanic far outweighs the perceived value of giving mons like zard a chance

[spiral ridge]

i liked the zard team in reg H it was nice

[shadow wind]

And I like the super specific gimmicks like that, maybe I’m weird for that but megas and gigantamax were awesome

[forest arrow]

Didn’t that win something?

[shadow wind]

Held item gimmicks will always remain on top for me

Like if a mon had to hold an item to terastallize then maybe I’d like it more

[spiral ridge]

yeah won regional

or at least 2nd

[foggy lodge]

Idk if anyone didn't watch vancouver but ||holy how the Tinkaton made the comeback😭||

[rustic mountain]

then u just create another vaccuum of those mons being the centralized meta; they arent niche, zard almost won worlds, did win regionals so did venu. they werent niche picks. u also picked the 2 most unbalanced mechanics that outside a few mons didnt actually make many other things relevant. megas had like 5 options if u wanted to win

[spiral ridge]

haha i clicked spoiler cus i didnt care and literally

[rustic mountain]

• most relevant megas were already strong mons to begin with

[foggy lodge]

Surely what can go wrong giving megas to 600 BST mons

[shadow wind]

Nah you cooked for this, I definitely picked like the worst examples of all time

I will stand behind the held item gimmicks though

[rustic mountain]

yea if they actually gave it to mons who genuinely couldve used it vs psuedo legends and the like maybe we get somewhere

[shadow wind]

I like those

[foggy lodge]

Mega Audino was good

In TCG tho

[rustic mountain]

lmao was gna say

[foggy lodge]

Other than that uhhh wolfey won a regional with mega banette

[shadow wind]

Mega Altaria !!

[rustic mountain]

concept of megas is kinda cool i just dont like the execution

[shadow wind]

The execution definitely could’ve been better

[foggy lodge]

Obviously gengar, kangaskhan, manectric, mawile, charizard Y

And I don't remember any other good ones

[shadow wind]

Zacian and Zama are pretty much megas

[foggy lodge]

I hope ZA adds a lot of megas

[bold geode]

I saw this
Official Pokemon Wolfe Glick compilation

[foggy lodge]

Like imagine gen 10 with all the megas we've had + the new ones

[rustic mountain]

well get more im sure idk how many tho

[atomic mural]

its so peak

[foggy lodge]

Actually they can cook with that

[pallid hare]

mega meganium, here we go

[shadow wind]

I want ZA so badly

[bold geode]

I wanna see official Pokemon funny moment compilations

[foggy lodge]

Hotdog guy

[shadow wind]

Can someone dress up as ball guy to worlds

[foggy lodge]

I wish dunlop fell off his chair that would have been so funny

[rustic mountain]

im more interested in champions atm

[shadow wind]

Do we have a release date at all for that?

[rustic mountain]

nah

prolly spring 2026 if i were to guess

[foggy lodge]

P sure its for 2026

[shadow wind]

Oh dang

I’m curious what it’ll even be

[rustic mountain]

yea thats a bit of a ways away i think

[shadow wind]

Paid showdown?

[atomic mural]

they could include that farigiraf speedtie that almsot made Taran Birdee lose game 2

[rustic mountain]

same, ppl have very high expectations of it already

[foggy lodge]

But idk it can be for early 2026 because are we really having a 4th year of SV???

[shadow wind]

I really don’t

[pallid hare]

its mobile, so I doubt it

[shadow wind]

I think it’ll be poorly done

[foggy lodge]

Like what do you do after this worlds

[rustic mountain]

then maybe early 2026 idk how they plan to segway comp to champions or if they even plan to

[shadow wind]

Or Gamefreak will have a moment of realization and balance every Pokemon perfectly

🙏🙏🙏

[pallid hare]

yes, make weedle a competitive staple

[shadow wind]

PLEASE GAMEFREAK

[foggy lodge]

ZA is confirmed not VGC compatible because of the battle mechanics

[rustic mountain]

yea

[atomic mural]

incin loses parting shot

[shadow wind]

And helping hand

[foggy lodge]

Or idk maybe we will have to improve our reflects for 2026 season

[shadow wind]

No more status moves for bro

[rustic mountain]

kinda figured the way pla was that za was not gna have the usual comp scene

[foggy lodge]

You better dodge my dynamix punch

[azure ether]

just make everything broken. so if everything is broken, then nothing is.

[shadow wind]

They’re already doing that

[atomic mural]

honestly im really excited to try out miraidon zamazenta in double restricted

[rustic mountain]

me dodging incins parting shot and koing it in return:

[pallid hare]

to be fair, thats already how pokemon works

[atomic mural]

real

[shadow wind]

Me when I give my Pokémon headphones

[azure ether]

inb4 we get a new item in gen 10 that blocks sound moves

[charred saddle]

a good wide guard user with strong base

[atomic mural]

I want an item thats just stalwart

[foggy lodge]

Idk how used that would be

[atomic mural]

way to nerf follow me ig

[shadow wind]

Just use a spread move?

[azure ether]

they could just lower the distribution of Follow Me like they did with Scald

but that would make too much sense

[foggy lodge]

How do you nerf it even more

[pallid hare]

cut the move?

[atomic mural]

or give stalwart to more pokemon

its a really cool ability

[foggy lodge]

Like already the mons that learn it would be kinda shit without it lol

[azure ether]

I guess you could nerf it where it only redirects the first single target move per turn?

[foggy lodge]

Idk follow me is fine

[atomic mural]

thres only 8 lines that get it

[azure ether]

they make it Pachi's signature move instead then

[atomic mural]

genius

whbat about clefairy

[azure ether]

it can go in a ditch

[atomic mural]

[azure ether]

let's be real, Follow Me Pachi is more iconic than anyone else that also learns it

[cyan smelt]

don't forget smeargle, it can learn follow me too

[atomic mural]

https://tenor.com/view/pokemon-pachirisu-tyrannitar-salamence-garchomp-gif-11268291895247408295

[azure ether]

fixed, move fails like Dark Void

[atomic mural]

honestly smeargle should get revival blessing

[cyan smelt]

smeargle should get tera starstorm

[atomic mural]

dosesnt it already get that?

[cyan smelt]

nope

[atomic mural]

or is that one of the moves that fail

[foggy lodge]

I think it just can't learn exclusive moves anymore

[azure ether]

how would it work for a non-Stellar Smeargle then

it can learn the horse signatures, no?

good vid for any1 who has time

[azure ether]

I suppose it's gonna make a mess of starstorm if a non-Stellar Smeargle uses it

[cyan smelt]

what happens with tera starstorm when there's no longer tera as a mechanic

[rustic mountain]

its a wrap

[azure ether]

that's where Champions comes in

[atomic mural]

i think this guy dosent like iron hands

[rustic mountain]

hahaah

[pallid hare]

I feel like the point of the video makes no sense when you figure that paradoxes (besides the bikes) aren't legends, just weird pokemon

[azure ether]

I'll just think that they can rework the move and treat it like Dragon Ascent in gen 6/7

Ray can mega as long as it knows the move

so Terapagos can still tera as long as it knows starstorm

if u watch the vid, he says he doesnt care about the semantics they are still incredibly strong pokemon w/ comparable bsts and im inclined to agree. the categorizations are irrelevant when the mons essentially function the same as legends

from a comp standpoint

[pallid hare]
