i bought this 200 dollar costum made notebook because i was joting down game ideas and like plans on how to implementing etc etc a lot
shes ight but like || shes still her outtie u cant really compromise the 2 things necessarily even w/ reintegration||
then i felt bad using it so i just kinda stopped lmao
Exactly
as far as my understanding atleast
||altho she seems like she'd betray father dear||
yea
thats wat im saying
Omg
I wasn’t kidding
I LVOE IT
fucking epic
you are talented! theyre so cute!!
My notes make me look insane 😭
is that cir LMAO
The face
I look schizo
Everything that goes on in my head when thinking goes on the paper
Why does the face give Leonard vibes
Who's Leonard
Like everything on that page is followed by a question mark
I think that’s what the emoticon is called one sec
Simply because I don’t even know what’s going on
mood
Lenny face

talked to ppl giving me a bunch of bullshit ||on they dont care if its 5 minutes they just wanna spent time together and its like oh plz get real u cant coexist in a space that wants to end u both and call ur outties selfish while in the same breath compromise their livelihood (more mark then helly) ||
resemblance is uncanny
Thank you thank you
RAGE
Oh that
What is even going on with the spoiler talk lol
severance
Show
Omg I just found my old work notebook
its hard to choose a favourite out of them tbh, please show me more sometime conner lol
Buried at the bottom of my desk
I wanna go spy on Taunt but I don't want my kids to follow and annoy me 
Pft
There’s a lack of pictures for the most part, nothing was more unstoppable than CIR RockPon for one of my teams
I actually made this one
https://jakob-woods.itch.io/game-about-a-wizard-dude
Nothing made me that unsure of a lead
👁️🔥👁️
my handwriting is so ass
oh yeah ur a game dev too right
In search of a fire type
holy shit ur handwriting
i really like the art, what would i have to do to get more of ut art
r u just speed writing
Comp people are wild
Yeah, it’s a small book too
ok
I also took a picture the other night
cereludge 🔥
And had to cram a lot into a line
my handwriting isnt that great but like some of that is rough hahah
i can understand cramming it tho and writing fast
Dude there’s Tauros Blaze in there
yeah trying lol
Even Skeledirge was in that list
grougiug live
pokemon champions wen 
are you just writing down all the fire types
All the ones that could’ve worked yeah
i agree, grougiug live has yoof typing
thats so neat and organized
Yo that handwriting is peak
Its not normally neat 
Is the strong at least legible?
stroug, yeah
Good enough !
LMe
Now realizing I drag my pen a lot
live, laugh, grougiug fire
LOOOOL
i actually laughed at my quiet workspace to that
i feel like its just the movepool
yall r stretching his handwriting so much haha they dont look like those other words at all
you could use dragon cheer
handwriting is lame anyways who cares ykyk
nah but like the words are atleast mostly legible is wat i mean
he can use snarl too that pretty good
🙏
it clearly says good typing not yoof haha
Won my last game so finished 4-3 positive wr let's go
Yoof
My a’s and u’s look very similar I will say
grats
Goat goat goat
Kalos tomorrow I’ll dm you with some ideas I had for a team if you want
wait you could unironically cook some gouging fire misty terrain shit
Taunt would like to know if there's a round 8
i could see it
no
I know you said you were interested in the process
Yeah I feel like I need to understand the building blocks
i think it was 7 rounds of swiss kit
I heard 7 aswell

0r gouging fire could work as a scale shot loaded dice mon
How did taunt do
kalos said they finished positive at 4-3 if there was another round im sure theyd play it
You reckon 7 and done?
Yeah I'm pretty sure they said 7
Gouging fire is a great support Mon with burst options
Very similar to a certain cat
Couldn't get past the chi-yi/FM/koraidon core to finish so went 3-4 in the end, nice work with your positive finish!
what does he have for support just howl?
Ty taunt that sounds like a tough mu for you, I couldn't get past the dogs
holy shit manual intimidate
that doesnt sound bad actually
too bad youre kinda slow
I love breaking swipe
I feel fixated on Gouging fire so that’ll probably be my next team
also its a proto mon thats also a fire type
Only one in the game
thats pretty goodge
my goat scovillain
I managed to win my two Moraidon match ups, struggled in the Zam/Koraidons - all good fun and luck of the draw
Glad you did well with your Groudon
I beat miraidon twice too but struggled against zacian and zama
if you go full atk you can get 1.5 sun boost + 1.3 proto boost + idk 1.3 lorb boost that could be fun
thats a lotttaaa damage
highlight/ funniest moment?
I honestly just go full bulk
would you not want the proto speed boost?
Funniest moment was an incin living a precipice blades on 1 HP and missing it 3x in a row
At least you won !!
Also Incins notoriously live on 1 HP for me
But with a howl boost he won’t 🤑🤑
That mon is so bulky
95/90/90 isn’t even that crazy
yknow what would be cool
what if moves with low accuracy like missipice blades increase in accuracy the more you use them in a roll
manual stomping tantrum
How should I go about creating a competitive team in scarlet and violet? Cuz I am very very very interested but have the attention span of a gold fish to watch a video
bro it might be joever
Look at what did well recently and use that then try to understand why it did well so you can recreate that success
👌
Kalos you live in AUS right?
ayo oce gang
Yes
So what time is it for you right now?
Just so I know when the appropriate time to dm you is
And it’s 11:30 pm for me
oh shit you live like far east?
I mean I plan on staying up for a bit still if you wanted to help team build now I’d be down
Me or Kalos?
kalos
Yeah east coast
usually aus is 2 hours behind but hes 3 hours behind
I'm pretty tired after the regional conner, maybe tomorrow
That’s what I was thinking anyway
Electric, Ground
Bug, Fighting, Poison
Dark, Dragon, Fairy, Fire, Flying, Ghost, Grass, Normal, Psychic, Rock, Steel, Stellar
Water
Ice
Ground-types take no damage from Sandstorm.
Just wanted to propose the idea just in case
Solid team and if I had used high horsepower in the mirror instead of heat crash I'd have made day 2
I’ll cook up some good ideas
Nah bad way to think, cause if you won that you would’ve played different people
True
It’s always hard to say if one win mattered
I recognise a lot of the archetypes now so at least that's good, zacian drago chi yu, chien Pao zama
On paper yeah it mattered but who knows who you would’ve played
Experience is always good
I wish I could go to irls
Fire, Ice, Steel, Water
Bug, Dark, Dragon, Fairy, Fighting, Flying, Ghost, Ground, Normal, Poison, Psychic, Rock, Stellar
Electric, Grass
OFC miraidon whims farig hands urshifu
Too bad I live in the middle of frickin no where
Damn that would suck, even here in Australia is no good, we get 3 regionals a year
btw do we know when the december regional is?
I guess if I really wanted to I could drive to lots cause NA
But I live in the middle of Canada
i would really like to participate
December regional? No idea
Neither coast is that close
Can you do limitless tours etc?
Vgc is fun again
Perfect, that’s my goal when making teams
I'd like to see the usage stats for the regional, the day 2 ones will be interesting
How many other Groudons were there?
Just the one I played
Oh wow only 2
No kyogre though
That’s even crazier
And OFC Zac and Zama
The dogs
Both which should be threatened by fire types
But the team was lacking that offensive pressure
This next one will not be lacking that
Yeah but Zac tera'd out of steel type and Zama tera'd to dragon
And yeah
Watch a replay of a Pokémon battle between wowacuttlefish and k4x1! Format: [Gen 9] VGC 2025 Reg G; Date: Mar 29, 2025
Both weak to ice, hmm
oh my fucking god encore is so good
im really curious as to what that baxcalibur was running
if he just killed chiyu i was so fucked
I've learnt to never protect in front of whims
yeah or fake out or trick room or tailwind etc etc
Unless your name is Roaring moon
Roaring moon got other issues against whims lmao
yk csr learns encore
And disable
wait hawlucha has unburden encore what
Yeah, did you tera moon at all or nah?
Yeah I also found that when testing it out
It probably would be better with booster and flutter with sash like you said
Has a 30% chance to paralyze the target. This attack charges on the first turn and executes on the second. On the first turn, the user avoids all attacks other than Gust, Hurricane, Sky Uppercut, Smack Down, Thousand Arrows, Thunder, and Twister, and Gust and Twister have doubled power when used against it. If the user is holding a Power Herb, the move completes in one turn.
Flying

Has a charging turn.
Makes contact.
Cannot be selected under Gravity.
oh lol
Yeah
this is just fly with extra steos
I did like the breaking swipe on it though
dude im looking at hawluchas movepool it actually might be an insane support mon
Caught a shocking amount of modest/adamant Miraidons and Koraidons with their pants down when I had a spread dragon move
its got the fastest non prankster encore in the game
and taunt
also you can entretainment unburden
quick guard is crazy too
I'm gonna see when Melbourne regional is
If you are going I could help you team build for that if you’d like, something more geared towards you than me
This move combines Flying in its type effectiveness against the target. Damage doubles and no accuracy check is done if the target has used Minimize while active.

May 17th-18th
Whoa that’s my birthday
It'll be double res
Oh cool
Scary
Double res is gonna be dope
oh dude thats gonna be crazy
thats gonna be fun
Maybe eternatus will be good in that format
Probably not tho lol
3 weeks in the format is nothing but horse spam

Nah I’ll break the cycle, trust
(this shouldn't be the case but if it is the case im gonna scream)
Groudon will play the support role that he was meant to
yea supporting the heaps of copium it needs to survive
😭😭
/jk groudon should be okay in double res at least
Pot calling kettle black bro
Drago I lost to zacian
what was the team?
Probably the ditto one
I only saw zacian chi yu regidrago
the ditto one ok
that team goes like chi yu drago whimsi zac ditto and wellspring/cornerstone/amoonguss
very offensive
I think it was cornerstone
that would make sense
i think the shifu torn hearth zacian cores are best rn but that one's good
Shifu on the miraidon comps is so strong
Those ones flutter is your very best friend
Set up TW then outspeed
I also really like Hearthflame for those MUs
I actually used flutter and bronzong against that and won game 3
Resisting Dgleam and Edrift is great
Oh I remember an E drift hit ogerpon and it still did a ton of damage
broken mon lmao
They expected me to tera bronzong T1 so they d gleamed into flutter and bronzong
ogre just gets the rain, mirai gets terrain and ability boost
Water spout is 150 BP
yk fair point
And Kyogre has naturally higher spatk
Kyogre gets two rain boosted spread moves
I mean their abilities make them like 170
yea exactly lmao
origin miss my favorite
Precimiss blades
i love missing moves
Eruption Groudon
Big Torkoal
Specs Groudon
i love losing cuz the big ass whale missed a cat
with what
Atleast you OHKO the cat guaranteed if you hit
uh, ur mother
🤨
Lunala 🙏🙏
Groudon and Zac should be good
lunala, zacian groudon is okay
this isnt swsh man
emphasis on okay
yea
Lunala Groudon should be good
cuz imma be honest idk wtf you pair groudon with
right thats kinda wat i was getting at
we have new and improved lunadon
like ok lunala groudon, and.......
you go koraidon now
nd csr yea
Koraidon doesn’t need TR
lunala can exist wihtout tr as well
Groudon loves the TR option
its like base 97 speed right?
yea
Yup
yea lunala is okay without tr as well, i have friends testing lunadon (koraidon) they're saying its really strong
When CSR is 150 speed I think I’m allowed to run TR with a 97 speed Mon
well, yea ofc
cant wait till reg i is some random format
Triple restricted
i wanna play zacogre so bad, ITS RIGHT THERE
nah i think cuz its coinciding w/ worlds itll be dual restricted
i want my dog to not feel bad because someone brought a cat
or season 13 swsh vibes and basically anything goes
its also the end of the games life
or close to, 3 years
how? if anything we are having it extended
then (if champions is what we think it is) itll go to that
im saying in the context of champions being the new vgc home
@rustic mountain trying to see if Taunt wants to go to Melb for the next one 
I want to go to Melbourne tbh
if not we just, play some more in sv which is okay
is it?
im not coping
Make a weekend of it 
he should
He's more leaning on the no side of it i think
fair, its his call
i like tera but its been so long i need a new gimmick or no gimmick
Convince him (so i can go to Melb)
i wanna sucker punch CSR without worrying about you becoming a fairy
im actually pretty interested how a format with the current mons would go without a gimmick
i can try

like same stuff would stay strong but you remove a tool, im curious what would get worse/better
for one terapagos becomes instantly ass cheeks
its fine tho
Caly s still has redirection at least
right cuz chi yu isnt right there
I miss yveltal but I don't miss xerneas
xern would be, a mon, in this format
Xern and flutter
its tough to say how much tera affects wats strong. i think wed still see a lot of the same mons
calys get worse, i think thats notable
its still mostly strong get stronger
i think they're still going to be strong options but tera pushes them up a lot
having that gone kinda sucks for them
Koraidon is bad without tera
yea
yea korai gets worse
Forgot about these 
hm
I hope I can still buy those tomorrow
u shouldve played
No
no like the side event
ogerpons get worse to some extent

Actually I'm pretty exhausted by it so I don't think I'll go tomorrow
like hearthflame cant nuke things with tera fire ivy cudgel
rock doesnt tera much anyway
idt fire tera's much either tbh
but yea hearthflame would lose offensive flexibility
and defensive in certain mus
yea
Get thrashed in side event 
any mon that relies on tera for success gets worse
hahah its about having fun right
tough to call but it would be interesting
Man I wish there were more restricted
i dont
every mon does in a sense though
the power creep is only going to go up
yea but i mean more defensively
I feel like we have like a pool of 5 or 6 viable restricted
like you definitely lose some offensive pressure on shifu and booster/lorb bolts
gen 10 restricteds are gna have 5 abilities
Csr found sucker punched in an alley
but korai/calys have to deal with their weaknesses more
4x weaknesses are a bitch
or just having like, waht 7
Ice, Psychic
Dragon, Electric, Fairy, Fighting, Flying, Grass, Ground, Normal, Poison, Stellar, Water
Bug, Dark, Fire, Ghost, Rock, Steel
Ice-types cannot be Frozen.
Ice-types have their Defense increased by 50% in Snow.
or ur ice type and weak to like everything
It's actually not bad
6 weakness could be worse
bruh
For an ice type lol
damn CIR has no resistances, thats wild
thats as about as bad as it gets
No 4x at least hahah
yea
Cir is so tánky anyways
that doesnt offensively do much either, i think
nah ice is great offensively
Steel
Bug, Dark, Electric, Fairy, Fire, Ghost, Ice, Normal, Psychic, Rock, Stellar, Water
Dragon, Fighting, Flying, Grass, Ground, Poison
psychic gives you fighting.
cuz what notable poison types are there rn, that arent amoonguss, which you already hit
That's pretty good
ur not really using ur psychic stab anyway for cir
Alsk has high horse
yea i jus mean its still gna utilize ice/fighting or ice/ground which are both great offensively
yea true
trade off for its defensive typing being so bad
u cant have it be too good as ive mentioned
Dark
Bug, Dragon, Electric, Fairy, Fire, Flying, Grass, Ground, Ice, Normal, Rock, Steel, Stellar, Water
Fighting, Ghost, Poison, Psychic
gta be some trade offs
at least you hit most things for neutral as CSR
ghost is fantastic
psychic doesnt do, much, lets you hit normal types ig
yea
Csr being immune to fake out is soooooo good
i cant see good reason to run it
yea, idk why it needs the psychic stab lol
It's funny how bad psychic type is
its not bug
used to be the best type in the game or one of back in gen 1
expanding force is a good move
i think normal was the best
psychic was the best typing in gen 1
Psychic before dark type
mostly cuz the way gen 1 worked was nuts for mewtwo and alakazam
yea but stuff like snorlax and tauros were also very strong
i think its debatable
definitely
they also had to nerf psychic a lot, which is why its mid
i wouldn't say its overall bad but its mid
fairy exists like, give it smth
or bug, like i get we should have weak typings but theres a bunch of cool bug types
id say bug type needs a buff more then anything
like wat
i think thats the trade off cuz it has decent stats and typing
intimidate maybe (dont), uh, sharpness
unless im misremembering
i will cry about it then

i think its cool in concept tho, if it had a better ability it walls CIR
Bug/Water
Emergency Exit
75/125/140/60/90/40
530
urshifu is a legendary its a bit different but u also know i think unseen fist needs a slight nerf regardless
kingambit
yea it could use a different ability
i think it be nice, i get why they did it its supposed to be its whole gimmick
its not like slaking bst not that i thought it was but i think i thought the stat distribution was different. its still solid tho
its just lame cuz it could be a cool mon in vgc
it almost top cut worlds in swsh
thats cool, he had a work around im guessing
or just make the ability work in his favor
weezing is the work around, which is valid lol
he only lost to dc not even cuz he actually lost
that sucks
I'm still salty about that
same
golisopod had a chance to top cut and got robbed
he really deserved it
was it gigas weezing stuff?
had raikou too
no weezing on the team like i said b4
oh
lemme see if i can find it
i thought you meant like no, weezing
nah lol
that would have been a very interesting team to hit top cut
it got 17th
groudon and kyogre is weird
not a bad placement at all
not at all, i wonder how he piloted it
it saw a bit of success
worlds runner up in 2016 won a players cup with it
huh
not this same team but kyogre groudon
what is confusing about that
thats not what i meant
i meant like, huh as in interesting not huh as in confused sorry
ur good, misunderstood
yea its kinda cool, tough to pilot but can be very strong in the right spot
totally gonna try to get golisopod to work in the future, like bo1 probably
also it was swsh meta
its a cool guy
dmax made things different
thats true
i prefer tera, do wonder what a gen with no gimmick would be like
like nowadays
yea we wont get it but nice to imagine
maybe another format like series 10 in swsh
big pikachu needs gimmicks to keep pulling players ig
yea i think the gimmicks add a lvl of flair to the games
not just for the casual in their in game experience but also spectators watching comp
yea fs.
Bigachu
curious to see where wed go from here as far as gimmicks are concerned. champions opens up the possibility of rotating formats/gimmicks in a never before seen kind of way if it winds up being what ppl think
bigachu
Fun for who 
so we may just go to swapping between dmax/tera/z moves etc for the forseeable future
cant wait for tera water origin kyogre water spout
it showed in the champions trailer tera and mega at the same time
and it also said not actual gameplay footage
could have jsut been for flair but if thats the case uh, pain ngl
You can probably do only one or the other
it was likely just there to display both will be in the game, doesnt mean at the same time
i'd hope its that or its jsut rotating formats
like one foramt is mega no legends and the next is legends tera or smth
that would suck lol
O there was a round 8 for masters 
But seems only for the big bois
what are the items that are good with unburden?
yeah the ones who lost only 2 right
i hope GF continues to just, pick the format and then we play the format
so you got the seeds and normal gem
Ye looks like it
seeds w/ terrain, normal gem, white herb, no item
There's 1 guy who was 7-0 
right it has to be lost
if theres 8 rounds of swiss every1 can play those games out, x-2 is more for who moves on to day 2
sash and herb are eh
Watch a replay of a Pokémon battle between GG=Groudon Gaming and b4dgxe! Format: [Gen 9] VGC 2025 Reg G (Bo3); Date: Mar 29, 2025
It just showed as round 8 on the website
Wowza, what a game
well i was too tired to stay
It only lists people who lost 2 and better
i guess maybe this
But didn't call it anything special
maybe someday i'll be one of those people
why'd bro tera
idk there shouldnt be an extra round of x-2s for day 1, thats more for day 2 qualification
wait no i can just do white herb and close combat
well, ig that blitz would hurt, that CIR was so pinned lmao
Blitz I guess
aus follows the same circuit rules as na so shouldnt be any different of a bonus round for x-2s on day 1

I dunno 
i'm already liking the look of gouging fire on your team conner
There just is
unless every1 who was x-3 dropped but that seems highly unlikely
Maybe they just said fuck it
the dude at the table by themselves just like "wheres my opponent"
maybe too many people with x-2
u can atleast get points at 5-3, 4/4 u get nothing
There were like 47 competitors for this round
going positive in regionals gets you points?
i don't think i got points
or is it like smaller regionals
47 ppl competing in masters?
For this "round 8"
we're you the 47th?
That's how many had 2 losses or better
oh nvm
No we're getting dinner out in the city 
😎
wait what if i do wsome fliing shaningans
incin the tru goat
enjoy 
i'll probably pick up more incin reg i if its double res
no u wont
zac doesnt appreciate incin much (from my expereince it prefered hearthflame) but it helps with others
no the thing is, i'll try then get stuck and have to run incin
although idk how much i'll be runnign incin wiht kyogre
shroom incin goes crazy tho
can always run like wow/fake out/knock off p shot
it really do
i mean the mon i think i'll always have wtih zacogre is amoonguss
yea
so an incin amoonguss route is perfectly fine
add bolt and in 5 mons u hav fwg and fantasy core
then round out with like tornshifu or bolt or smth
yea lol, i run bolt moonguss zacogre rn
with just early here there testing
anti sun guy is nice
also anti tornshifu, tornshifu is rough sometimes
why did it do taht little
Tera fire
yea bolt dissuades the fuck outta that
it had its time
reg b, and like some of c i think
yep
reg d added the legends and it fucking died lol
Watch a replay of a Pokémon battle between GG=Groudon Gaming and Just a Minus! Format: [Gen 9] VGC 2025 Reg G (Bo3); Date: Mar 29, 2025
Man I don't even think this team is good
Caught a greedy flutter though
ur a greedy flutter
Ground
Bug
Dark, Fighting, Grass
Dragon, Fire, Ghost, Normal, Poison, Rock, Steel, Stellar, Water
Electric, Fairy, Flying, Ice, Psychic
😔
yea it was rough out there for bundle after dlc 1 + home release mons
bolt only made it worse
i think it was barely around but by reg e it was finished
Chances of this account hitting 80% are like 0
oh you changed moon to speed booster conner
yea it was gone reg e
wait has no one cooked normal gem terapagos
then it had a very very short resurgence in reg g 1
Yeah I'm testing it with a pretty similar team
more like burning the kitchen down
and then died again
It already has saved me like 3 times
looks promising so far
actually it wonr work because i cant entreteinment it\
although triple dragon idk
idt normal gem even works with tera starstorm
yea wen ppl realized it was still dogshit and miraidon didnt need it
Yeah it's a bit ehhh
But Gouging like barely counts because the fire type balances it out very well
yep lol
maybe bundle will have some light in the future
and koraidon
he exists
raging bolt would like a word
He doesn't use dragon type moves
Yeah
you're even using raging bolt lmao
With Draco
oh yea bolt
Same issue as Miraidon
i love bolt, hes just perfect
also wake was pretty legit on boyts team
that was a cool team
I am scared of Lando with this team though
i enjoy sun teams now
So that's what I'm trying to iron out
pao?
anyway point is theres dragons around outside miraidon
could pao go anywhere
Not easily nah
what if over bronzong volc
r u asking like generally
no for Conner's team

i could see pao being hard to fit tho
Yeah
its my go to anti lando guy
Although Volc and Zong are literally just CIR counters
paos gta b one of my fav gen 9 mons
the ruins i think we're all pretty cool mons
yea
they cooked with some designs this gen
most id say
yea actually, i was trying to think of bad ones but theres not many
why do i keep thinking roaring moon is flying type
Salamence
cuz it literally always tera flyings also salamence
yea
bro's main move is acrobatics
real lol
Hydreigon with the stats of a goat
hydreigon when pixie dust
well yea after the typing is where the similarities end
Dark/Dragon
Levitate
92/105/90/125/90/98
600
They both get tailwind !
huh

i thought it had more bulk
Wowza
its got good bulk
Slightly worse than Incin
i know but i thought it was higher
not bad not great
think im semi used to mons being min maxed
Psychic/Ghost
As One (Spectrier)
100/85/80/165/100/150
680
Calyrex
ur too new gen pilled
Reg H was my only Reg without Flutter mane
reg h was a format
reg h was cool
i could have been better about it, fuck snealer tho
Nah for real
there was counterplay and i played a lot of dengo, i still hated it
it was annoying but id prefer that over this shit storm of a format
ur telling me
im just kinda surprised they had us do reg g again
oh we did? had no idea
series 7 and 9 and 8 and 11 iirc
😭
yep legends format twice and then 1 restricted format twice
then series 12 was dual and 13 was ag
what was single restricted like in swsh
Bolt taking 24% from that should not happen
was it like mostly zacian or not really
Reg I bouta be something left field please 🙏
mu roulette still but i dont remember it being as bad
ic
nah but zacian was around
waht would it be tho
Uhhh
lmao
y
uh, cuz i'd be down for reg f
u love reg f
reg f was awesome
ud play reg f for the rest of svs life if they had it
idk about that, i'd never get to play with zacian

if u could pick any mon as a starter and it not be a legend or restricted wat would it be
hm
ok cool choice
alolan ninetales or dragapult probably
itd start out as a drilbur ud b ok with that?
Course
so alolan vuplix or dreepy
yk, a9 was meta in reg h, reg h would be fine again i jsut need to appreciate the format
Drilbur is a legend
yea
Bro has 85 atk
actually just alolan vulpix
Don't count him out
alolan vulpix is adorable
actually kinda goated
yea thats a solid choice i like a vulpix/a9
foxes are also some of my favorite animals
id be boring and pick treecko
i almost picked popplio ngl
but if i had to pick something else id go dratini
that or sprig
yea popplio is dope
popplio got too much hate
grovyle is just peak middle starter
fr
floragato is also alright
eh its not bad
better then the other 2 gen 9 middle evos
could be worse, you could be whatever quaxly's is
quaxlys middle evos is genuinely one of the worst
brionne is fine
its fine
torracat is cool
quiladin is like, it exists
ew
lowkey freaks me out
Bro is 100% of my problems
its the worst middle evo
it looks so bad
bayleef is top tier
true bayleef is awesome
wartortle is solid
all the gen 1 middle evos are solid
same for gen 2
i like dewott
its eh
servine's alright, uh, pignite is eh
We got all the buddies now
servines weird and pignite is meh
4 dragons is wild
guess wake is anti lando material tho
One singular ice resist
theres no dragons in the format
also conner using 4 dragons
lmfao
conner loves dragons
he said they werent real
tru
thwackey is wackey is wat i always say
raboots fine
drizzile is meh
lmao
yea gotta say, grovile is just simply peak
other gen 6 middle evos, gen 4
grotle
ew
lmao
prinlup is meh
Hey whoa
monferno's fine
hard pass
its like ok
They just gave me goated dragons this generation
i mean they did
that whole trio has pretty cool designs
bolt only really grew on me through vgc tho
i think out of the 3 bolt has the worst design but its not like its by a big margin
bolt grew on me a few days after cuz at first i was like wtf then i was like ok its just a funny guy vibing
wake is my favorite by design
wake is gross
pineapple head
yea i love it
how is wake gross?
r u serious? look at that abomination
No legit what I thought when he was shown
they did suicune so dirty
Yeah he looks like a monster
fair enough, i think wake's cool tho
Gouging is my favourite
i see that aspect of it but i feel like taht was somewhat the goal
like to turn them into dinosaurs, went a little far with wake ig
Triceratops are goated
bolt overall best one tho
ig compared to suicune you'd think they go more elegant with it
crown is cool boulder is gross and leaves is fine
i definitely see it now
Agree, agree, and agree
Watch a replay of a Pokémon battle between LeonardPlayz and GG=Groudon Gaming! Format: [Gen 9] VGC 2025 Reg G (Bo3); Date: Mar 29, 2025
Just look at the last turn of this game
I know this guy from a different server but that will not save him
it just got changed so much idk, and the bipedal aspect mixed with the t rex arms and all that idk its just off putting
yea fs
i like the og beast trio
good call
too tired to watch conner
would draco+blitz have killed without the tera?
valid, they all have good designs
suicune is up there for me
All you need to know is that I'm goated
nice
r u tho
lmao
tofus hard truths
thats why insecurity = confidence
“i suck at this game” actually goat
that 1 sanvy tweet
wait so saying youre confident at the game is a trap?
yes and no
ur so insecure that it flips to confidence
gotcha
cuz if ur too confident ur actually insecure
lmao
