[jade dust]

Doing dailies? Or the new Express event?

or Pure Fiction?

[solid frigate]

saving for Hyacine

Cuz i beat all endgame full stars

[jade dust]

Same

[astral kelp]

I think he might like urshifu

[jade dust]

I 0 cycle Kafka in MoC

[solid frigate]

you are whale aren't you-

[astral kelp]

Oh yeah btw what are some good options into landerous and Groudon

[jade dust]

Hmmm

[solid frigate]

rain+Urshifu

[jade dust]

Yes

[astral kelp]

Other than that its a wheezing team lol

[solid frigate]

i just 9 cycle clear and i am fine with it

[solid frigate]

Scarf Urshifu should be fine lmao

[jade dust]

Yeah you don’t need to 0 cycle

I just do it for fun

[astral kelp]

Yeah I was really considering it

[jade dust]

A f2p player wouldn’t look like this

Lmao

[solid frigate]

https://tenor.com/view/domain-expansion-texas-boothill-hsr-boothill-hsr-gif-12130815054695445941

[astral kelp]

I also need a special attacker

[jade dust]

I started playing on Yunli patch

I will say my luck pulling has been very good so that helped

[astral kelp]

But I think it should be fine to run mostly physical attackers with wheezing

[solid frigate]

i just f2p+

[jade dust]

Yeah that’s a good setup

Almost best in slot for Herta

The only thing would be Lingsha

And f2p Cas team is like top 3 teams in general

[solid frigate]

best in slot is tribbie Anaxa lmao

[jade dust]

Nah I’m still gonna argue is Jade

Also you’re better off using Robin in Herta and Tribbie with Cas

If you have to choose

If you had Tribbie you would probably use her with Cas

[solid frigate]

i don't

thats why ruan mei is here

[jade dust]

Yeah I assumed

I don’t have her either, I saved that patch

I had like 180 pulls for Castorice and Acheron

Got e0s1 on both with f2p pulls

Then whaled for e2

[solid frigate]

at this point i just get E0S0 Hyacine cuz i lost 2 50/50s

[jade dust]

Oof

Not going for s1 tho?

[solid frigate]

no funds

E1 is better for HP Comps while S1 is just general and open comps

[jade dust]

S1 gives HP draining which makes Cas rotations better

But e1 is better yes

[astral kelp]

ignore the grimmsnarl
what if instead of roaring moon i ran ability shield whimsycott with tera ghost
then i can give something else booster energy

[jade dust]

It’s just harder to get

[solid frigate]

i ain't ignoring the Grimmsnarl

[astral kelp]

it is really funny

im just really stumped on the 6th slot

[jade dust]

At that point just use Regigigas

[astral kelp]

gigas is so ass ngl

anyways doesnt solve any of the problems my team has

rn i pretty much always bring wheezing moon, csr zama unless opp has a trick room mode

thats kinda the poroblem with double restricted formats tbh

[jade dust]

Same that Grimsnarl

Is ass

[astral kelp]

its not real im just using cornerstone lol

or amoongus

[jade dust]

That’s better

[rustic mountain]

grimmsnarl is not ass lol

[astral kelp]

Lol the random ability shield grimsnarl I did is

The idea was to use scary face to outspeed something in trick room

But it's dumb as hell Hhahahaha

[astral kelp]

WAIT maybe I bring sash ditto

Or ig room service ditto lmao

[astral kelp]

i wanna run roaring room with tera ghost

hmm

[shadow wind]

He is when I miss all my twaves 😔

[rustic mountain]

lmao

dropped a restricted to beat csr/pagos then next game some1 dropped a restricted vs me and lost

[cyan smelt]

Conner thanks to monke I scrapped my old team and revamped it and am doing much better (only bo1 though haven't tried bo3 with it yet)

[rustic mountain]

monke......helped?

[shadow wind]

Nice job

What’s the new team look like?

[cyan smelt]

I basically scrapped the tailroom aspect and did tr solely for speed control

Indeedee, Groudon, lunala, urshifu, ogerpon hearthflame, bolt

[shadow wind]

Cool

[cyan smelt]

Also changed the tera on lunala to water because it was dying a lot to flare blitz

[shadow wind]

Yeah that’s the problem with sun

Other mons can use it too

Rain it barely matters because water resists water

[cyan smelt]

Koraidon is very scary

[shadow wind]

But Groudon does not resist fire 😔

[shadow wind]

Yeah

[cyan smelt]

Ogerpon also dies to a flare blitz

[shadow wind]

My Groudon lived a lorb SoR boosted sun boosted Koraidon CC once

[solid frigate]

https://tenor.com/view/water-kyogre-groudon-pokemon-gif-189695550122682980

[cyan smelt]

How

[shadow wind]

Notice how my goat is still fighting till the end

[shadow wind]

140 defense is no joke

[cyan smelt]

Chi yu is also scary

[shadow wind]

Yknow who solves all those problems?

[solid frigate]

252 Atk Life Orb Orichalcum Pulse Koraidon Close Combat vs. 236 HP / 100 Def Kyogre: 177-211 (86.3 - 102.9%) -- 12.5% chance to OHKO

Meanwhile me

[shadow wind]

AV raging bolt 🙏

[shadow wind]

Try SoR too

[cyan smelt]

Not when chi yu is next to flutter

[solid frigate]

dude its Kyogre i ain't living one

[shadow wind]

Groudon barely lives one 😭

[solid frigate]

100/90/140

[shadow wind]

You thinking I don’t know its stats?

It’s just Groudon but special

[solid frigate]

252 Atk Life Orb Sword of Ruin Koraidon Close Combat vs. 236 HP / 100 Def Kyogre: 179-212 (87.3 - 103.4%) -- 18.8% chance to OHKO

Unless rain is on

[shadow wind]

Tera water raging bolt 🙏🙏

That is one fat Kyogre

[solid frigate]

i run that since reg G

[shadow wind]

My Groudon sets are always changing

[solid frigate]

i just stick with one

[shadow wind]

Seems bad if the team changes

Not all teams will have the same damage control or speed control

And building around a set is limiting

It’s why I leave evs for last when making any team

[solid frigate]

if the ev spread works for me it's stays in

Cuz my teams are just Variable

[shadow wind]

I’m just saying that Reg G is drastically different from Reg I and using the same sets can be limiting especially if you’re dead set on using the same set

Even if you don’t think it’s influencing your team building it might be with simple speed control options

[astral kelp]

whats better outrage or dragon rush

[shadow wind]

Outrage

Dragon rush might be the worst possible dragon move

[foggy lodge]

It is

Its between dragon rush and dragon tail

[shadow wind]

75% accuracy should never even be considered for a move you’ll click multiple times

Dragon tail is good in situations

But dragon rush is never good

[foggy lodge]

It doesn't even have like a good BP right

[shadow wind]

I think 100

It has a use case !!

[astral kelp]

icic

fair nuff then

i want tera ghost roaring moon so im considering acrobatics alternatives

maybe u-turn actually

[shadow wind]

Breaking swipe

[astral kelp]

my team is kind of a rush team

so i have offensive moon

so switching would be good cuz i usually lead wheezing moon

maybe idk

[astral kelp]

woops

[shadow wind]

I’ve done that before

[astral kelp]

okay can someone tell me how special attack booster fluttermane outsped max speed csr

does scarf keep the spa boost??

[exotic grotto]

If the Flutter Mane's Protosynthesis activated, then yup it can have Choice Scarf, making it outspeed your Calyrex Ghost!

[shadow wind]

Although it’s completely unoptimal

1.5x to speed and 1.3x to spatk with the scarf

1.5x to speed and 1.5x to spatk with specs

The only use case is Bo1 CTS

[exotic grotto]

Does that mean Protosynthesis boosts Speed more than Special Attack?

[shadow wind]

It boosts speed more than everything else yes

Speed is a 1.5x boost while all the other ones are 1.3x

[astral kelp]

yeah i played around outspeeding it

cts set def LOL

[exotic grotto]

Thank you!

[gentle crag]

fyomin has given 1 Gen Rep to connertep

[strange fjord]

AV Ho-Oh

[cyan smelt]

now put it behind screens

[strange fjord]

+1 252+ SpA Lunala Meteor Beam vs. 244 HP / 0 SpD Assault Vest Ho-Oh: 216-256 (101.8 - 120.7%) -- guaranteed OHKO

"By all accounts, I should be dead." - Ho-Oh Probably

They must've not been max special attack

[exotic grotto]

Your Ho-Oh is really strong to take that hit!

[cyan smelt]

is it worth it to run expanding force lunala or are there too many dark types/wide guard in the meta

[knotty mirage]

I have question what's with the sudden surge of people using brute bonnet more on cart ladder now ?

[mighty stump]

fucks up CSR

[cyan smelt]

What tera is csr usually, is it mainly dark, fairy and normal?

[knotty mirage]

If it's just too screw CSR didn't pretty much all dark type already do that

[cyan smelt]

Gets a def boost from sun too

[knotty mirage]

Ah yeah that's fair point it just idk man 4x weak too u turn too doesn't sounds great

[strange fjord]

Which team should I ladder in game with? Both seemed fun to play with.

I also took some Pokemon from Sun Gang from Conner lol

[cyan smelt]

always pikachu

[mighty stump]

Spore, Rage Powder. It’s an Amoonguss that’s good into CSR teams

What dark types have Spore and Rage Powder too

[knotty mirage]

Oh so an amoongus replacement i guess that makes sense with miraidon everywhere amoongus it just not on really good mon to use at the moment

[astral kelp]

[knotty mirage]

Brute bonnet seem's to still have offensive capabilites even if the spore becoming useless because of electric terrain unlike amoongus yeah that makes sense now

[astral kelp]

Unironically I feel like amongus can be good bring into a miraidon match up

Resists dazzling and eletric type, rage powder

[knotty mirage]

If it's only miraidon yes

[astral kelp]

Depends

[knotty mirage]

But people ussualy bring miraidon with caly ice

Which makes amoongus most of time on really unfavorable position

[astral kelp]

Yeah man 8 was bringing amoonguss into trick room before I started realizing that he's terrible into caly

[knotty mirage]

But bonnet have sucker punch which threaten caly

[astral kelp]

If they have goggles indeedee

[astral kelp]

Sorta i still wouldn't call it a good bring

[knotty mirage]

Yeah i think i start to see why people replace amoongus with bonnet now

[astral kelp]

Trick room always has anti prio

Well it's obviously better in the sun than amoonguss

And uh

Ig it has more pressure

Big problem Is the typing

[knotty mirage]

It can replace sucker with crunch i guess

[astral kelp]

Usually amoongus shits on urshifu but bonnet gets wiped by it

Ig it's betters into csr and csr is the most popular Mon in the format rn

[knotty mirage]

Didn't CSR have tera fairy draining kiss that's prolly the reason why i don't think it that good agains't CSR unlike incin who don't have weakness too fairy

[mighty stump]

Choice’d item means no difference

[mighty stump]

Not anymore

It was really easy to realise DKiss was v lacking

Also Amoonguss has been a common line into Miraidon

[cyan smelt]

why are people still using sneasler in reg i

[astral kelp]

draining kiss is pretty shit

non stab

for damage i mean

Morning chat

[cyan smelt]

hi monke

[near crag]

Check this out: https://pokepast.es/ed2306ba3f4af842 It's kinda gimmicky, but I think tatsugiri really helps both CSR and Miraidon with soak, to the point I almost didn't get dozo. Any thoughts?

Also don't know if I love incin there, but a dark type that takes neutral from fairy would be good, and neither sash or scarf could go to a chi-yu

Thing is you could technically just have like 5 really good mons and Meow, never bring it and be like "yeah good results"
But using it? Eeeeeeehhhhh idk tbh

[short quiver]

fair enough

id like for my restricted to be Terapagos preferably

im really comfortable with my rappa already

[bold geode]

Now we're talkin

[foggy lodge]

Use CSR pagos

[bold geode]

In these formats it's kinda required to build around the restricted cuz well they're the big guns
As for pairs, Terapagos can work well with a few
Some I've seen are like
Zacian
Calyrex Shadow Rider
Ho Oh can work

[foggy lodge]

Or Koraidon pagos

[short quiver]

i can have 2 restricted again?

[bold geode]

Yes, this is double restricted now
Double in this sense means 2 guys

[craggy dagger]

[short quiver]

YIPPEEE

[short quiver]

why would i use ho oh 😭

[dense latch]

bc it’s kinda good now

[bold geode]

Ho Oh actually ain't too bad rn

[short quiver]

zacian, ghost horsie, rainbow birb.

zacians good again?

[bold geode]

Not the best but I'd say it's in a good space now

[short quiver]

any other options?

[chrome knot]

3-3 drop dont rly wanna play naic

[sage moat]

What are some of the best zamazenta counters in the format rn?

[bold geode]

Ghost types
Wisp mitigates damage
Taunt stops Wide Guard
Hard hitting special attackers like Chi Yu and Landorus (super effective damage works better)
Miraidon hits hard
Ogerpon Hearthflame with tera hits hard

[sage moat]

alr thanks alot bro

[short quiver]

i was thinking heavy special attackers would do the trick

yeah when i see zamazenta its usually ogerpon clutch for me

[lofty tartan]

Good God when was I pinged

[spiral ridge]

Use notif bar ig lol

[lofty tartan]

I'm still waking up.

Overnights are a drag.

[solid frigate]

yeah which is stupid

[dense latch]

ikr

[bold geode]

Honestly I need to look at the data when it comes out cuz I expected more Zam CSR or more Kyogre

[dense latch]

they showed the most common pairs at the beginning and csr zama was first by a small margin

weird to see so little of it on stream tho

[bold geode]

It was mostly bikes

And all the teams I saw at least looked like they could do well into CSR Zam by some margin

[lofty tartan]

So you pinged me about Ho-Oh, monke

I'll be checking the stream out as a whole later.

@bold geode tell em

[bold geode]

It's ass

I know it wouldn't seriously work, just wondering abt niche stuff

Like it's strictly worse Zam

[chrome knot]

its just this bitter feeling that is killing me

[bold geode]

It'll all be fine
There's always other times
One day

[chrome knot]

i don’t think i can stomach another 3-0 to 3-3

its such a disastrous feeling when mental health makes itself VERY apparent

[bold geode]

That's why we fuck em up and go 4-x or whatever

We want more but
Yeah

It feels tough now cuz well
Just happened
But we got more shots

[chrome knot]

i dont care abt 4-4

the second itd 3-3 like who fucking gaf

wait i thought about entrainment spooder

Ability: Water Bubble

This Pokemon's offensive stat is doubled while using a Water-type attack. If a Pokemon uses a Fire-type attack against this Pokemon, that Pokemon's offensive stat is halved when calculating the damage to this Pokemon. This Pokemon cannot be burned. Gaining this Ability while burned cures it.

Oh damn I’m late

[lean ridge]

been enjoying running some zacian tbh but i rarely see it so i assume its not rlly meta

ground tera with tera blast gives it rlly good coverage i found

[cyan smelt]

Oh there was also raging bolt on the team

[astral kelp]

why is incin the one that holds goggle ususally?

[mighty stump]

Usually Incin is a neutral-good switch in because of Intimidate/Fake Out being reset and recycled.

With Parting Shot cycling its your main reposition tool

[graceful scaffold]

you did ur best and its a cool team!! im proud

[mighty stump]

So having the added benefit of being immune to Spores, which Amoonguss utilises to control the board and prevent momentum.

Makes it overall better

Jeudy ➡️ Pokemon Pocket (@SoulSurVGC) on X

At 6-0, Lorenzo was DQ’d apparently due to nodding to the crowd during his stream set vs shiliang which the judges took it as he was receiving signals from someone in the crowd which just feels so ???

X · May 3, 2025, 7:45 PM

[lean ridge]

damn

when i was watching the live i noticed he was looking at the crowd a lot during the set but i didnt think much of it

[chrome knot]

he wasn’t receiving any signals he was the stream pov💀

[lean ridge]

yea ik thats why i didnt think anything of it 😭

[rustic mountain]

really stupid

ppl look at the crowd all the time

[cyan smelt]

Can never tell what tera lunala is

[bold geode]

That whole situation is dumb

[bold geode]

Tofu we saw Scarf Miraidon

[rustic mountain]

im annoyed for him

[cyan smelt]

That seems unfair

[bold geode]

As is a lot of people

[rustic mountain]

whole community seems to think he is not that kind of person either

[bold geode]

Yeah it's just legitimately bullshit

[rustic mountain]

even if u could concoct some way that he even was cheating outside giving a nodding gesture

which is such a stretch

[foggy lodge]

Its also super aggresive all the thing because the judges said there was no appeal to that

So like ???

Why so defensive about this

[graceful scaffold]

poor person, silver lining is they went lossless

[granite tundra]

so is using skill swap on a swampert to give it sap sipper a good idea, or a bad idea

[astral kelp]

depends

reg i?

[mighty stump]

I mean you're going to have to justify why Swampert is worth so much in the first place

Cause if you're going to invest a team slot and an external moveslot for Swampert then it should be for a good reason

Cause you may get rid of your x4 weakness, but you still have a million and 1 strong neutrals to deal with in the format for VGC

[bold geode]

How's it going Tofu

[mighty stump]

Playing MonHun

I'm annoyed by CTS, I can never tell what tera lunala or caly shadow is but it's always some tera that resists dark

Good morning and shi

[astral kelp]

shit

[cyan smelt]

Stupid how they haven't made it possible for you to evolve Pikachu, exeggcute and koffing into their regional forms

[exotic grotto]

Yup! You can only get it in Pokémon Sword and Shield!

[astral kelp]

how tf am i supposed to get one with good ivs

[cyan smelt]

You can hypertrain

[astral kelp]

ohyeah i can just buy bottlecaps

btw whats are some good picks to counter csr zama

i was thinkinfg chi yu

[cyan smelt]

Iron hands

[astral kelp]

really?

[exotic grotto]

Ho-Oh!

[astral kelp]

well i got him already

[cyan smelt]

Volcarona

Resists both its stabs

[astral kelp]

the 6th slot is really on the fence rn i was thinking i needed it for cir matchups but actually wheezing is really ass into zama csr

[cyan smelt]

Scarf urshifu is good too

[astral kelp]

oh yeah one shots csr se into zama

but i dont got an urshifu in cart unfortunally

[exotic grotto]

What do you mean by in cart?

[astral kelp]

in game SV

[cyan smelt]

Do you have DLC? You can catch kubfu

[exotic grotto]

You can get one in The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero!

[astral kelp]

i need to do the whole bp thing right

[exotic grotto]

Do you know how to evolve it?

[cyan smelt]

Yes

[astral kelp]

i havent really had time to play through it

[cyan smelt]

You get the scrolls at Porto marinada

[astral kelp]

dont think ill be able to in time with all the other shit thats happening

its like the 10th

[exotic grotto]

You could make a 1:1 trade for it for a Legendary you don't need!

[astral kelp]

hm yeah

ive tried to a few times but no one ever answears

[exotic grotto]

There's the GTS in Pokémon Home!

[astral kelp]

oh good idea

ill have a look

[cyan smelt]

GTS is full of hacked crap don't use it

[exotic grotto]

You just have to make sure if the Pokémon appears to be rightfully obtained!

There are plenty of legal Pokémon in the GTS!

[cyan smelt]

For one a save legendaries and shiny legendaries it's hacked crap

[exotic grotto]

one a save legendaries?

What's that?

[astral kelp]

ultraball kubfu lv 30 innter focus lax for iron leaves caught in violet

ig ttheress no way for me to check if its real

[exotic grotto]

Ultraball?

[astral kelp]

you right

[astral kelp]

caught in an ultraball i mean

yeah no way someone wouldtrade that

[exotic grotto]

That appears to be rightfully obtained! I think it's safe for you to trade!

[astral kelp]

without being able to see ot and catch card i doubt it tbh

[exotic grotto]

There's ability patches and Iron Leaves are only obtainable once in a save file, so it's a fair trade!

[astral kelp]

you can get leaves from raids doe

[exotic grotto]

Maybe the trader missed it?

There are sometimes really good legal trades in GTS too!

[cyan smelt]

One a save legendaries are stuff like kubfu, iron leaves, raging bolt, iron boulder etc

[exotic grotto]

Thank you!

[astral kelp]

btw i got leaves in a raid does that mean i cant get it anymore?

[cyan smelt]

Nope you can't

[astral kelp]

oh wtf

[cyan smelt]

Unless they run it again and you make another switch profile

[astral kelp]

nvm then ill just not use urshifu lol

maybe ability shield offensive incineroar?

[exotic grotto]

Iron Leaves obtained from the tera raid and Area Zero are different!

[astral kelp]

rip

[exotic grotto]

So if you got one from the Tera raid, you can still get one from Area Zero!

[plain drum]

There's no Iron Leaves or Walking Wake in Area Zero

[exotic grotto]

Sorry, I didn't know that!

[exotic grotto]

What's ability shield?

[astral kelp]

its like an item youll only use if you have a wheezing

stops you from losing your ability

[exotic grotto]

Thanks!

[astral kelp]

maybe just roaring moon is good into there

and i can slap a rilla boom in my team for mirai matchup

nah fuck it i have a fully trained amoongus ill just use that

[cyan smelt]

Roaring moon is not good into Zama

[astral kelp]

yeah but good into csr

i bring moon hands

[cyan smelt]

They always tera out of their weaknesses

[astral kelp]

yeah thats very trtue

wait wtf whos running tera ghost

oh ig sash

@astral kelp not sure if you were planning to but don’t use stuff from online trades at regionals unless you know the person you’re receiving from

locals it is okay

Congratulations for going into Day 2! Good luck for your future battles!

[astral kelp]

For the foreseeable tournaments

[next stump]

[astral kelp]

[exotic grotto]

Are you competing in master division, k4x1?

[astral kelp]

i mean im over 18 so yeah

[exotic grotto]

Good luck on your tournaments!

[astral kelp]

but nz is so small so all the division play together lmao

i played against this little like 7 year old girl running a csr team last time it was wild

[exotic grotto]

Did you defeat the Calyrex Shadow Rider?

[astral kelp]

i felt so bad about it i was trying to be nice but i didnt want to like baby her or anything

she looked so sad ;-;

[exotic grotto]

Don't feel bad! That's how Pokémon battles work!

With each loss, you'll know how to get even stronger!

[next stump]

you can use any pokemon in locals so you’re good to go

[exotic grotto]

Are you not allowed to use traded Pokémon in a tournament like regionals?

[bold geode]

The team looks really strong!

[bold geode]

It's honestly a very odd team
Really it'd be hard for average people to pull it off but Michael Zhang has the experience to pull off wins with such out of the ordinary picks

Like other than Koraidon and Ho Oh, all the usage stats for the other 4 mons on that team are really low except maybe Wake that's like maybe 5% by my guess if we being generous

Pokéaim has entered top 8!

[lean ridge]

I hope they put him back on stream for top 8 I love watching ho-oh matches

[exotic grotto]

That's probably going to happen!

[foggy lodge]

Crazy

Bro is on his first regional and can win it

And I think he only went because his chat reached a goal on twitch😭

[dense latch]

DILLON BEAT RILEY 🔥🔥

[balmy glen]

Cool guy

He shouted me out on stream lol. It was a bad mu but I have lines into it if he doesn’t win the speed ties between miraidon and Chien Pao

But I went 0/5 on speed ties so ye

[foggy lodge]

Damn man

That sucks

[bold geode]

Nah
Dillon the goat
Dillon got this

[solid frigate]

Singles players are gonna eating good

if Joey wins (iirc thats his real name)

[dense latch]

damn, regardless that’s an amazing run, congrats keanu

[exotic grotto]

Pokéaim is playing brilliantly, can't believe it's his first!

[dense latch]

he played one regional in 2016 according to his day 1 interview

[solid frigate]

there is a guy that no one knows won a reg H tournament as its first try

i think

with Mausape Rain Team

[foggy lodge]

Yeah Nicholas Morales

[dense latch]

yea

[solid frigate]

aside from Team carry

he did good

[dense latch]

top 8 pairings out

joey vs dillon

[solid frigate]

Dillon our boi

[dense latch]

we’re probably getting carson vs paul as the stream match

[foggy lodge]

Nooo probably no Dillon stream

[foggy lodge]

Darsh vs Andrew is also a good round

But yeah Carson vs Paul Chua is the most probable

[craggy dagger]

@bold geode

[foggy lodge]

2 regional champions

[solid frigate]

Singles players are eating good fr

Joey top 8

[atomic mural]

cant believe miraidon iron bundle is good now

[solid frigate]

I’m still calling Iron Bundle mid

[bold geode]

[foggy lodge]

Yeah it's strong

[bold geode]

Aight chat
Joey run over
Dillon got this shit

[tranquil kraken]

is it still on

?

[atomic mural]

yeah'

[exotic grotto]

Quark Drive is a really strong ability!

[atomic mural]

top 8 just started

[solid frigate]

That kinda bothered me of why that much exclamation marks-

[tranquil kraken]

yayyy i can watch

been so busy

[solid frigate]

kyogre when he sees the two sun mons

[exotic grotto]

Sorry?

[atomic mural]

i didnt know koraidon caly ice was good

[exotic grotto]

All of them are really strong!

[dense latch]

woah

cir mirai popping off

[solid frigate]

It was using CIR’s weakness against Kyogre and let Koraidon do the job

[bold geode]

4% fall off for Zam CSR is something

[dense latch]

korai and cir like the same non restricted partners too so it makes sense

[atomic mural]

ayo CIR Mirai kinda busted

[foggy lodge]

Pokeaim's team is very strong

I was also looking at bundle mirai

[exotic grotto]

Ho-Oh!

[foggy lodge]

Tho imo iron bundle with freeze dry is kinda troll in that comp

[atomic mural]

koraidon at #2

[foggy lodge]

Having Hands and Miraidon makes it unnecesary

[granite tundra]

Because my brother's ace has 2 powerful grass moves, a grass tera, and an electric move, followed by Fire Punch, so if I gave it sap sipper, the only thing to affect Swampert is the quad resisted Fire Punch.

[foggy lodge]

WHAT

[exotic grotto]

The box art legendaries side by side!

[solid frigate]

moral of the story

Just don’t run Miraidon Caly Ice with Arubega

[dense latch]

42% mirai???

[solid frigate]

and you are fine

[dense latch]

that’s wild

[solid frigate]

the new Zacian

but less dominant

[atomic mural]

did they show the normal pokemon yet

[solid frigate]

i think the reason because of Sun

Rillaboom just hates sun which indirectly benefited Miraidon

[atomic mural]

csr zam a fraud until it wins something

[solid frigate]

Probably but that core is just

CSR Hypercarry

[next stump]

LETS GOOOO

[bold geode]

You get this shit Dillon

[dense latch]

you got this dillon

[exotic grotto]

Congratulations for reaching Top 8! That's really impressive!

[foggy lodge]

LET'S FUCKING GO DILLON YOU CAN DO IT

[atomic mural]

7 miraidons, 3 lunalas, 1 CSR, 1 terapagos, 1 ho-oh, and 3 cirs in top 8

[solid frigate]

DILLON WON AGAIN?

[crystal badge]

[granite tundra]

[atomic mural]

[spiral ridge]

[lean ridge]

Do they stream 2 matches for top 8? Pokeaim tweeted he’s gonna be on stream

[atomic mural]

[spiral ridge]

Yup

[lean ridge]

Oh W

[foggy lodge]

One in day 2

[solid frigate]

dillon made it to top 4 or just top 8

[foggy lodge]

[lean ridge]

Still top 8 rn

[atomic mural]

[tranquil kraken]

GL Dillon <3

[pearl wind]

the stream was really fun so far, pretty excited for the rest

[exotic grotto]

2 top 8 matches are broadcasted in a regional tournament, while all matches from top 8 are broadcasted in internationals and worlds!

[wild depot]
