kyogre and groudon are both the homies

#

but only 1 is good rn gladge

solid frigate
shadow wind
#

Well uh

#

It didn’t work

#

Shocker I know

solid frigate
rustic mountain
#

lol

#

its just not the self enabler kyogre is

shadow wind
#

In his defense he’s been sleepy lately

rustic mountain
#

almost all the top restricteds are

shadow wind
#

But Miraidon’s electric terrain is going to wake him up

solid frigate
rustic mountain
#

not even defensive play it has no role

#

despite what conner contests

sterile raven
#

Hey, Torrent. Can I dm you?

shadow wind
solid frigate
shadow wind
#

He’s just a really cool guy what can I say

solid frigate
rustic mountain
#

i love groudon

#

its my favorite legend

#

but sometimes u gta know wen something isnt it for comp

solid frigate
#

Heck Giratina is my favourite Legendary and he sucks

shadow wind
#

But since I’m here to have fun I might as well use a mon I like

rustic mountain
#

like i said b4 thats fine

shadow wind
#

And it’s not he’s unusable like some other Restricteds

rustic mountain
#

u just cant expect top results from a mid tier restricted

shadow wind
rustic mountain
#

i think single restricted was a lot easier to shore up groudons weaknesses cuz sun has so many strong options

#

now not only are the sun options more restricted w/ another restricted joining the fray it also exploits groudon even further cuz it rarely can keep pace

shadow wind
#

Yeah double restricted has definitely been tougher

solid frigate
#

I mean there is Always Primal Groudon in Champions

rustic mountain
#

cope

#

we know nothing about champions

shadow wind
#

But I think I’m onto something with the most recent team

solid frigate
rustic mountain
#

u gta have like 100 + kyogre memes ready go go

shadow wind
#

Iron bundle has actually been really dope

rustic mountain
#

shiny iron bundle or ur team sucks

shadow wind
#

😔

shadow wind
#

This is the team by the way, Groudon evs are wrong there but it’s mostly the same

rustic mountain
#

mirai/bundle for kyogre?

shadow wind
#

Somewhat yeah

#

There’s more reasons but that is a big one

#

I like it over Flutter because no speed ties

#

I had also tried AV Miraidon but the team felt too passive

rustic mountain
#

yea i can see that

#

i think u can afford bulkier slower specs mirai w/ screens grimm

shadow wind
#

Probably yeah

#

Finding the balance for that is hard

#

Cause fast is great but I don’t need fast

#

Specs Miraidon has been putting in work though

#

It is actually insane

rustic mountain
solid frigate
#

ok atp is just my team but slower

shadow wind
#

What?

rustic mountain
#

u still keep specs but why have it be so speedy and sp atk heavy? hit ur break point and then invest in the bulk

shadow wind
#

Probably a great idea

#

I do have a lot of speed control options

rustic mountain
#

yea

shadow wind
#

What do bulky Miraidons usually hit with their speed?

rustic mountain
#

this is what adi used at milwaukee

solid frigate
#

i know this is a legit set but

rustic mountain
#

could prolly toggle some evs out of bulk and into speed/sp atk but this was a grimmsnarl/ho oh team as well so i get the overload on the bulk side

shadow wind
#

36 spatk 💀

#

Looks incredibly bulky though

#

I’ll do some testing tomorrow

Looks like the default miraidon evs nowadays

This is a team of all time

I checked it and the friend guard reduces damage

#

But maybe is something weird from the damage calc

solid frigate

I’m not suppose to see this

I say it because in the round of Luca vs Lorenzo the moongeist dealt almost the same damage without Clefairy and with Clefairy

Marco not looking very happy

bold geode
#

Yeah that was kinda rough
Still a safe play from Matteo there though

#

Very safe play

#

I think Matteo probably takes it from here

i mean not Using Terapagos’s Tera is kinda also a problem

I mean
They need to double up into Sini
Actually we can chip away now KEKW

Eh Snarl Astral cleans Sini

honestly if not for Scale Shot

Miraidon would not need to tera in both games

Nvm it's Joever

Time to tune into stream

bold geode

It's basically over lol

Last round essentially over

and this is why Sinischa+Terapagos lead would be more better in such a way

Marco didn't make day 2

#

:v

gloomy gull
#

Been all sorts of upsets so far this reg

#

Rookie took Portland with that Kyogre team, that was pretty cool

foggy lodge
#

which rookie

bold geode
gloomy gull
#

I thought this was his first season

foggy lodge
#

He was banned previously

bold geode
#

I believe that was his 3rd regional win and he won the Oceania International Championships in 2023

foggy lodge
#

But he is an international champion

gloomy gull
#

Ohh ok didnt know that

bold geode
#

He was banned for a year but came back around EUIC this year?

foggy lodge
#

Yeah

gloomy gull
#

Or wait this wasn't that guys name, we are talking about different people and I may be thinking other than Portland, lemme look

foggy lodge
#

Nicholas Morales?

#

Tho he won in reg H

gloomy gull
#

Cary D'Ortona

dense latch
#

might mean cary

#

yea he was called a rookie in darsh’s team report

gloomy gull
#

Yeah he got 3rd but still

foggy lodge
#

But Cary isn't a rookie either I think

#

Oh that Cary

#

I thought Cary'd Ortona lol

gloomy gull
#

Maybe they just want rookies like me to feel mor comfortable so we lose easier lol jk

Nah

I mean anyone can take it really

Yeah I was jk

oh fuck day 1 already done

you just need to practice a lot and get lucky lol

gloomy gull
#

Yeah I was pretty confused with things at first and many times was like I am not gonna do this but after watching so many games, tip videos, and running some rental teams in ranked I've started to be able to watch and be like "well I could have this to counter that" and what not so starting to get it a little bit. I need to start running my teams on Showdown though, I am just not going to get very serious about it until gen 10

#

smart way to go about it, everyone’s first tournament is always about feeling it out

gloomy gull

It just sucks I got back into Pokemon right after the Louisville regional, and I live in Louisville like a mile from the convention center lol

#

I didn't even know there had been a regional until I finished S/V in January and started watching competitive

Is it true that Justin Tang is 33 or is just a joke

it’s in reference to some guy on reddit calling justin a player over 30 or smth

So what’s the consensus on needing shifu for kyogre teams?

#

Cuz I don’t agree with it but the results at regionals tell me otherwise

rustic mountain
#

i think its weird to not have it

molten oasis
#

Why

rustic mountain
#

great rain abuser that hits on the physical side

shadow wind
#

Why not use the most broken non restricted mon of all time with a 50% boost

rustic mountain
#

has the ability to create strong pins

#

i mean do i really need to sell u on urshifu? lmao

#

i feel like its obvious the synergy

molten oasis
#

No ik why it’s strong it’s just annoying cuz it’s overlap with kyogre I kinda hate dealing with

rustic mountain
#

some teams have weakness overlap

molten oasis
#

Then it’s up to amoonguss to keep both safe from stuff like bolt irs annoying

rustic mountain
#

doesnt take away from the value ur getting from it

molten oasis
#

Like on my current team I’m flipping between lando and shifu because of either wanting ground coverage which is awesome with zacian or shifu because it’s broken

#

And I can’t afford both

#

Had wellspring but, amoonguss is like required for these teams as well so i dropped it

#

Do I just sound like an idiot is that what’s happening

#

Cuz i feel like and idiot

rustic mountain
#

its ur mon choice thats making it weird

molten oasis
#

What is weird about the Mon choice

rustic mountain
#

basically how u have ur guys slotted

dense latch
rustic mountain
#

kyogre-zacian are the top guys right. then u have shroom and incin for defensive pieces, moon for speed control and urshi/ando rotating for the other offensive spot

molten oasis
#

Zacogre, moon is my tw setter, amoonguss for redirect and incin for damage mitigation and fake out, then the other damage dealer and its supposed to be shifu but I’ve gotten more mileage out of lando at times

rustic mountain
#

u basically have it where 1 switch is making u have to move too much around to accomadate something it wouldnt. the team cant be perfect so u either accept the flaws of whatever iteration ur locking into or go back to the drawing board if it just isnt hitting that right amount of consistency

molten oasis
#

Lando has been

#

Like I don’t have issues with lando, or anything tbh I’m just kinda annoyed I have to add shifu because I don’t have a rain abuser

#

Those 6 were a team at Utrecht

rustic mountain
#

kyogres a self enabler but at the same time urshifu opens up different optionality u otherwise wouldnt have

#

especially w/ something like scarf

#

u have 2 grass weaks cool u also have 4 resists to it

molten oasis
#

I worry about mons specifically usually unless it’s like

#

I have 4 weaknesses to _ and no resists

#

My worry is Tera electric bolt/mirai

#

That’s given me issues before, lando is solid into both

rustic mountain
#

i feel like w/ zacian and moon u should be fine. they either commit gleam w/ mirai (unlikely) or u just tw w/ moon and protect zacian to pressure the following turn

#

also have shroom for redirection

#

lando is that easy answer u think u need but u dont

#

like ppl imprisoning tr instead of just playing better

molten oasis
#

Moon does nothing to both

#

Like after the knock off

rustic mountain
#

well its less for knock off and more for speed control

#

not really for zacian more for kyogre + ur back mon

molten oasis
#

ig

rustic mountain
#

id also say to try rilla since double fake out and terrain override is pretty nice

molten oasis
#

no usually Zac is enough for Mirai/bolt, it’s just a headache to hear “you don’t have a rain abuser add shifu”

rustic mountain

foggy lodge

Maybe hot take but I prefer reg G

rustic mountain
#

i would say this emma, dont get too overwhelmed ive heard so many stories of ppl coming up/figuring out teams even days before an event. not that u have to follow suit but i wouldnt overly stress about figuring it out asap. just try as many things out as u can for now and take it from there

foggy lodge
#

Like it really doesn't varied

molten oasis
#

Ik one person that genuinely likes the format

chrome knot
#

i literally cant

foggy lodge
#

It's super valid to feel that way

chrome knot
#

im gatekept by bpd

foggy lodge
#

Do you have any idea of like why? Like a burnout or just not too much motivation by the format?

molten oasis
#

Ah, yea that’s rough

chrome knot
#

i habe no fucking clue bruh

rustic mountain
#

sorry to hear that but theres always next year/szn. its tough but u cant have ur mental health be tied into how well u do in competitive, its too volatile for that. maybe best to do wat ur thinking and just chill and have fun going to naic and hanging out

chrome knot
#

im at a point where

molten oasis
#

NAIC was fun last year and New Orleans has, some fun things to do

chrome knot
#

sometimes im not in control of emotions bruh they just kick my ass for fun

#

today was a good example of that

#

im on the fence of even playing vs spectating and going sightseeing w/ kat

rustic mountain
#

yea thats just being human it can suck for sure. its just about taking it as they come and not necessarily getting too hung up on them as they come and go. its definitely not easy. we are a species ruled by emotion
