[bold geode]

Also man
I gotta finish typing out this blogpost lol
It's gonna be out after Worlds sadly

[lofty tartan]

I personally really like Lunala/Ho-Oh still, but Korai/Ho-Oh is spice.

[foggy lodge]

And the team that made day 2 was a super early meta one lmao

It really is like this worlds was a throwback to early reg I meta

[bold geode]

Nah Korai Lunala was still mid except for Gio

[lofty tartan]

I mean really it's that Reg I stayed relatively the same. CSR/Zama was strong early meta, and strong late meta, so Ho-Oh usually had a role unless a particular event was really Mirai-heavy

[foggy lodge]

Mhm

[polar canyon]

Did anything popular now fall off and come back

[foggy lodge]

Some of the day 2 players

[lofty tartan]

There was one event that was definitely hostile to Ho-Oh recently

[foggy lodge]

Dragonite is 7-1 in swiss pog

[bold geode]

That graphic right there is already stacked

[foggy lodge]

Fr

[polar canyon]

Wolfe is doing the thirst trap edit pose

[nocturne holly]

What is Wolfe doing with his hair

[polar canyon]

Understandable

[foggy lodge]

Only 52 players in day 2 damn what

Its a super small day 2

Compare it to past year where day 2 was 106 people

[knotty briar]

Seems this year is pretty brutal

[lofty tartan]

Also just a different composition to Worlds sizing.

[molten oasis]

I can’t with wolfe’s dumbass pic lol

[bold geode]

Brutal format
Less people competing

[lofty tartan]

Things have changed with structure quite a lot between now and last Worlds.

Are you all forgetting that they've diminished the ability to qualify? It was all for a smaller Worlds

[molten oasis]

Sticks out like a left thumb

That was lame

Vgc got big therefore let’s make worlds smaller

[nocturne holly]

bread taste better than key ahh decision

Is that ball knowledge????

[lofty tartan]

Like it's not at all that there's less people competing - the game has been steadily growing. But the changes are showing now.

[next stump]

wow 52 players!??

Top 32 gets cool prizing so only need one win for some

Is it 3 rounds tomorrow

[bold geode]

Yeah but they got 2-3 rounds so

32 can change

[knotty briar]

Both Wolfey and Shoma need 2 wins to enter the brackets

[bold geode]

Can't wait to see who's in the top 4

[lofty tartan]

Yeah that's... sorta how swiss works, monke

[molten oasis]

[knotty briar]

It's 10 rounds total before top cut if I'm not mistaken

[bold geode]

YOU SHUT UP YOU STUPID OL DRUNK

[lofty tartan]

I'm halfway through a single beer, wtf are you talking about

King of the Hill ass response

Bet you stand outside with a beer in your hand like Hank

[molten oasis]

Goated show (never watched it)

[lofty tartan]

Why would I do that?

[bold geode]

Just cuz idk

[knotty briar]

Both of you need to be nice or I'm grabbing my pocket sand!

[bold geode]

Honestly why wouldn't you Mika

Sounds very relaxing

[polar canyon]

Because beer is bad for you obviously

Also the soft spot on the baby's head is meant as an arm rest

[molten oasis]

[polar canyon]

What's the age limit

[bold geode]

What

[polar canyon]

For having an arm rest

[bold geode]

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhh
Idfk

[knotty briar]

Ok I'm leaving before the black helicopters come
See ya

[polar canyon]

[molten oasis]

https://tenor.com/view/drake-laptop-drake-gif-21716481

[bold geode]

10, then the kid become a leg rest /j

[polar canyon]

I think the best thing to come out of worlds so far besides ho-oh is "it's better to have 4 pokemon than 3 pokemon sometimes"

[bold geode]

Y'all didn't have the same experiences or

This is very fucking stupid

Bout as stupid as Drago, fuck you

[polar canyon]

I was gonna be productive today but then I remembered worlds

[molten oasis]

Excuse me

[foggy lodge]

He went 3-3 i think

And I will have to apologyze for my takes on Wolfey's team

[short quiver]

any other good matches i only had time to watch wolfeys before i had to get back to work

[foggy lodge]

Tbf this was not the NAIC version I think the NAIC version is really bad lol

[foggy lodge]

Marco vs Michael

[bold geode]

The NAIC team was ass

This version was definitely better

[foggy lodge]

I think the Milwaukee one was better and he actually changed some stuff from that team

[short quiver]

who won? ill be watching the vod of the stream later anyways when i can watch the whole thing

[foggy lodge]

Marco

But Michael ended up going better in swiss

[molten oasis]

LETS FUCKING GOO

https://tenor.com/view/me-and-bro-celebrating-best-friends-squid-game-2-my-guy-gif-8389215730122450876

[short quiver]

im also watching the Unite championships later

[bold geode]

Aight guys
What do we think

Is the lowest good spot that Incin will take

[foggy lodge]

Top cut will have 70% usage on Incin

Damn standings please drop the teams

Actually how many people without Incin made day 2

Michael, Sanvy, Torviv

Justin Tang

[nocturne holly]

Fr

Those commentators were my favorites aside from Aaron and rose

[short quiver]

[nocturne holly]

When r they

[short quiver]

ik we got vgc and i think we got go idk about tcg and unite

[short quiver]

idk 😭

[foggy lodge]

Yes

Its on their channel

[short quiver]

[foggy lodge]

They are on the play pokemon channel

Will probably watch some TCG and see if I found stuff about VGC somewhere

[polar canyon]

They did announce some distribution for unite so idk

[short quiver]

really?

ill have to look it up cuz i play🙂

[polar canyon]

Maybe I'm wrong I just saw something with a murkrow on it

[foggy lodge]

MURKROW HUH?

[short quiver]

its an emblem

[foggy lodge]

Ohh an emblem

[short quiver]

ik what your talking about

[foggy lodge]

Then that's very lame ngl

[short quiver]

i wish murkrow was in the game

dawg they should add Skarmory to Unite

i would absolutely love that

[foggy lodge]

What were the last mons added to Unite

I stopped playing after they added uhh Ho-Oh I think

[short quiver]

Alcremie Latios and Latias

[short quiver]

and all 3 of them are broken

[polar canyon]

I assumed murkrow was in the game bc I don't know what's in it now and don't know what emblems do

Last time I played it I was playing eldegoss

[short quiver]

so probably at the beginning of the game

[polar canyon]

Yeah like first month only

[short quiver]

eldegoss was one of the original characters

[polar canyon]

Is eldegoss any good

[short quiver]

yes

[polar canyon]

Sick

[short quiver]

theres better now but yeah eldegoss is still good

[forest arrow]

Oh cool they added the Eon twins

Been awhile since I played

[polar canyon]

Something just drives me to play support in any game that does have support

[short quiver]

yeah and theyre breaking the game 😭

[forest arrow]

Latinas pog @bold geode

[polar canyon]

I heard that that's the usual now with every new addition

[short quiver]

get this man a true

[forest arrow]

Might have to play just so I can be Latios lol

[polar canyon]

Something something zacian a month early and gets nerfed when fully released

[short quiver]

duo q wit me twin i one trick Latias

[forest arrow]

I’ll let you know if I ever get around to it

[short quiver]

😃

the twins get a lot of boosts if on the same team

its wild

[foggy lodge]

Damn poor tcg people dude

[forest arrow]

Oh cool

[short quiver]

why

[forest arrow]

I might watch unite

[foggy lodge]

They are ending round 8 now

They only have like 12 hours of rest

[forest arrow]

Tcg is so long

[short quiver]

some tcg matches take a while

[foggy lodge]

And VG ended like an hour and a half ago

[short quiver]

was marcus and micheal the last one of the day?

[bold geode]

[forest arrow]

Marcus and Wolfe

[foggy lodge]

No it was the round 2

[forest arrow]

Is there not a unite?

I don’t see it on YouTube

[short quiver]

it probably ended already

we’d have to find the vod

[foggy lodge]

Its on the pokemon unite channel

They don't stream via play pokemon

[short quiver]

is this Timis fault

[foggy lodge]

Probably

[forest arrow]

Oh sick thank you

[short quiver]

makes sense 😒

since timi owns unite ofc it had to be its own separate channel

🙄

[forest arrow]

It has like 3 different streams for it too lol

[foggy lodge]

TEAMS ARE UP https://www.pokedata.ovh/standingsVGC/0000150/masters/

[short quiver]

[forest arrow]

I love meow

[short quiver]

my magic cat does so good in my ladder matches

tpci made a mistake giving it triple axel

[forest arrow]

You were absent like half of it

[molten oasis]

Bro wdym you’re gonna miss it when did you play

[forest arrow]

Unless you just played and didn’t want to talk to us

[foggy lodge]

Erizabeth went 7-1

[short quiver]

[molten oasis]

Eleki is 7-1 wow

[forest arrow]

James Baek is running regileki and is 7-1

[short quiver]

[forest arrow]

Pretty much the staple reg I team

[molten oasis]

It’s THE Mirai Lunala team too I think

[rustic mountain]

[molten oasis]

Zacogre day 2ed so I’m happy

[forest arrow]

It started with Grim, Nala, Mirai, Ursh, Ursa, Incin, then the whims adaptation came out

Raghav made me so sad

[rustic mountain]

[foggy lodge]

[forest arrow]

Raghav was 4-0 then just went downhill from there

Jeudy also went 0-3 drop but he had an OTS error on his u turn urshifu

Command triggered by treeco.. Message from · Aug 16, 2025, 3:12 AM

[short quiver]

yeah but like what did the sheet say instead

[foggy lodge]

Do you know what open team sheets are?

[short quiver]

yes

im asking why uturn urshifu had an error on the sheet

did it say something else?

[foggy lodge]

Oh idk but he just said that he had a problem with the move

[rustic mountain]

he likely listed it as something else

[foggy lodge]

I'm guessing it would be something like detect but switched last minute to scarf but didn't update the teamsheet lol

[rustic mountain]

i like kinda feel bad but kinda dont

u should be triple and quadruple checking ur teamsheet

[short quiver]

🤷‍♂️

[foggy lodge]

I mean it's rough to go 0-3 but dude you can't have this problem at worlds

[short quiver]

i mean ig you can 😭

[foggy lodge]

Maybe JUST MAYBE at a regional is easier to not realize

But idk if I went to worlds I would have checked my OTS like 400 times already

[short quiver]

ill be watching the vod maybe ill find what the issue was

were all the matches on screen or just most of them

[rustic mountain]

yea like even then teamsheet errors at regionals are still like wat r u doing but worlds is totally different in the level of time and money investment uve given across a season to just not be dilligent with one of the main aspects of your ability to compete

[short quiver]

idk how worlds works

[rustic mountain]

most not on screen

[short quiver]

so how am i supposed to watch the ones not on screen 😔

[rustic mountain]

hope some1 recorded it themselves and uploads it

[dull ibex]

https://pokepast.es/7cc410523825bb04 any other changes i n eed done

[foggy lodge]

TCG Pocket affected him too hard

Got too used to not read

[rustic mountain]

[short quiver]

time to go watch the vod

[bold geode]

Len wtf

[short quiver]

see you in 8 hours chat

[rustic mountain]

is ursa still even good on these comps?

[short quiver]

wait one more question

with choice scarf do i need 252 in spe on magic cat or can i drop it a bit for some SpD

[rustic mountain]

whose magic cat

[short quiver]

meowscarada

[rustic mountain]

for reg h?

[short quiver]

no

[rustic mountain]

[short quiver]

i use meowscarada in game ladder

even rn in reg I

[molten oasis]

why are you cooking meowscarada in reg I

[short quiver]

because i love the pokemon

[dull ibex]

I think so? would you replace it with another tr sweeper?

[foggy lodge]

btw what's up with regieleki at world championships

[molten oasis]

[rustic mountain]

not going to really give advice on a mon i think is objectively bad for the format ur asking for but in general id say investing into sp def on a mon thats super frail and has been power crept and then some is pretty pointless

[foggy lodge]

Two times in a row where this mon doesn't do anything in the format until worlds comes and it pops off lmao

[short quiver]

im cooking magic cat in reg i because its a mon i love using

[bold geode]

Yeah it is

[short quiver]

ive been using magic cat since i started playing ladder in reg i think c?

[molten oasis]

the first instance of it getting power crept out of the meta

[short quiver]

worked fine for me

[rustic mountain]

yea seems fine then to me @dull ibex

[dense latch]

that’s my goat right there

[dull ibex]

great!

[rustic mountain]

important really to try it out tho really doesnt mean much if i think its fine especially cuz im just coming back into playing after being off for a bit

[short quiver]

so back to my question does anyone knoe if i can drop a little Spe with scarf for a little SpD on meow

[rustic mountain]

i kinda answered u already cynical

[molten oasis]

I might start playing again just kinda bored

not much to cook with in reg h

[rustic mountain]

just nice playing some mons tbh

[molten oasis]

true

[short quiver]

i see

[foggy lodge]

Everytime I have an idea for reg H I realize that it was already made

[rustic mountain]

i do think reg h is still not solved necessarily either

[foggy lodge]

It feels like a prison💔

Tho its probably just me not being enough open minded

[molten oasis]

I mean, the team i played with early was kinda heat

[lofty tartan]

Live by this

I check my sheet like 5 times before submission

[short quiver]

side of the prison with 5 strips of ribbon i found- scale the side of the building but im
never gonna get out

[molten oasis]

https://pokepast.es/5c42dc5fdefb9cf1

[rustic mountain]

yea like if ur gna invest into defenses especially on a frail mon, u generally want some kind of idea of whats common that ur calcing/adjusting to live. same thing with the speed aspect, r u still outspeeding wat u need to that ur gna commonly face

[molten oasis]

actually correction, the core is heat

[round abyss]

are u guys gonna do reg h or j

[lofty tartan]

Reg H

[molten oasis]

i think i tried talon and buzz and they were like, fine

[lofty tartan]

Reg J is nothing.

[round abyss]

yea im leaning towards it now

[short quiver]

J

[molten oasis]

but i liked the rest of the team a lot

[rustic mountain]

imma do both

i wish reg h was cart

[round abyss]

i dont think mythicals are gonna makethat much difference for reg j right

[lofty tartan]

I'm trying to hit a few Reg H Regionals before the format burns out, so it's all H for me, baybee.

[molten oasis]

nope

[short quiver]

im also considering trying different moves i wanna try thunder punch and low sweep

[rustic mountain]

u would be correct

[molten oasis]

they dont make a difference at all

[short quiver]

magearna would like to say a few words

[molten oasis]

maybe arceus and magearna

[lofty tartan]

Most Mythicals are straight-up worse than any Restricted.

[round abyss]

arceus and mag are the only ones i can think of

[short quiver]

maybe mew

[molten oasis]

nah

[rustic mountain]

def not mew

[lofty tartan]

Mew is not anything

[round abyss]

imprison transform ahh

[short quiver]

imprison transform WILL be a thing

[lofty tartan]

It's Smeargle at home

[rustic mountain]

even if its a thing it doesnt mean its good

imprison transform mew screams 20k mball rank

[molten oasis]

gravity darkrai will be a thing, itll also suck

[foggy lodge]

What in the great ball depths is this cooking

[short quiver]

if i had a keldeo id do keldeo jirachi with skill swap. give keldeo serene grace and jirachi justified

[round abyss]

what restricted pairs do u guys like

[rustic mountain]

csr/zama

[round abyss]

is there a site to see the top pairs like lab maus or smth

[molten oasis]

Zac/Mirai

[lofty tartan]

Yeah all this work for some gimmick and CSR gonna sweep your team anyway

[round abyss]

zac mirai sounds fum

[foggy lodge]

Koraidon CSR my goat

[molten oasis]

its fun, not good

[rustic mountain]

hey man i'm being honest

[rustic mountain]

i respect it

[lofty tartan]

Like Deoxys-Attack with Focus Sash could nuke some kids.

[round abyss]

what do u use it with

[molten oasis]

1 sec

https://pokepast.es/dcd43b3993384115 this was fun and it worked okay

just isnt, zacogre, or CSR Zama

or mirai Lunala

[rustic mountain]

they really just messed up grouping mythicals w/ restricteds

[short quiver]

true statements have been said

[rustic mountain]

either 1 mythical per team no restricted
1 mythical, 1 restricted per team
or 2 restricted and 1 mythical like its not that hard

[lofty tartan]

They just don't care about the format because they know the game series is done.

[short quiver]

imagine 1 mythical no restricted format

[lofty tartan]

So they didn't even come in for the layup.

[round abyss]

mirai lunala looks fun

[molten oasis]

adnd then put it for ingame ranked like thx guys

[rustic mountain]

thatd be my preferred cuz it really gives a chance for them to shine on their own

[short quiver]

we’re getting a gen 10 supposedly

[lofty tartan]

Well of course we are.

[rustic mountain]

at end of 2026 yea

[molten oasis]

as in magearna and arceus would shine, maybe deoxys

[short quiver]

whats everyones problem with mew

[lofty tartan]

They've already even stated they have enough content in them for the next ten years, so Gen 10 is an easy thing to do.

[molten oasis]

its not good

[lofty tartan]

Because it's bad.

[molten oasis]

Reg J is just, reg I lets be real

[foggy lodge]

And most top players won't pay attention to it so everyone just has to build by their own

[rustic mountain]

nah man i think ud have like 5 mythicals that would be good
hoopa unbound, arceus, magearna, darkrai and deoxys and then fringe picks like jirachi, volcanion, pechurant, diance even keldeo

[short quiver]

im gonna make a team for all cats lemme cook

[molten oasis]

why would darkrai be good

[short quiver]

assuming we even have a restricted cat legendary (mewtwo does not count)

[molten oasis]

miraidon is everywhere

[lofty tartan]

Yeah they won't follow it because Reg H is the format to play for events. They're gonna completely bypass it

They may play it for fun, if they can have fun with it

[short quiver]

[rustic mountain]

dude in the case of 1 mythical no restricteds

u know i think mythicals suck in reg j

[lofty tartan]

[forest arrow]

Was playing with this but thinking of changing dozo to haze prima

[molten oasis]

[rustic mountain]

issue w/ alcremie now is if u wanna decorate just run smeargle

[molten oasis]

delphox a9 was kinda cookin

im gonna intentionally use my kanto ninetales just because you guys said that

But switched to life orb and it feels so good

[lofty tartan]

Do the Psyspam with the Delphox. Duh.

[short quiver]

i have a shiny drought ninetales

[molten oasis]

but mika got me on delphox for a little bit in reg h and its fun

[rustic mountain]

yea sweet veil and aroma veil are solid abilities but even then like smeargle is just better role compression

[lofty tartan]

Fast Psyspam blapblapblap

[lofty tartan]

Oh I agree.

[molten oasis]

its also 3 slots of solving as many mu's as possible which is rough

[foggy lodge]

Alcremie could at best be usable in bo1 hard TR shit

[graceful scaffold]

[lofty tartan]

Like I said, the Alcremie was annoying, but you just speed bump Aroma Veil and hit it in the face

[rustic mountain]

i tried aroma veil briefly early in my vgc career w/ aromatisse

[lofty tartan]

Then you can Taunt the P2

[molten oasis]

cuz delphox HAS to run with deedee

[forest arrow]

Coaching with Bax is fun with scale shot, and even after one speed boost, Sneasler still can give you more coaching boost before you attack

[lofty tartan]

Eh. I've seen it without Indeedee, but I think it gets stronger with

[rustic mountain]

bax is cool

[lofty tartan]

Bax is awesome.

[molten oasis]

delphox w/out deedee? its whole niche is psyspam

[lofty tartan]

I'm INCREDIBLY torn here, because I want to run Bax, but this is my last chance to run Dnite, probably.

[molten oasis]

mega dnite competes with mega mence.

[rustic mountain]

w/ megas coming back and the dnite reveal idk bout that haha but just swap b/w teams that feature both

[lofty tartan]

Well, I mean in the near future. I don't know when Mega Dnite is gonna be legal.

good luck to everyone with regulation S

[lofty tartan]

[lofty tartan]

Pseudos with Megas are potentially stronk

Yeah that's what I'm saying. 600 BST with Mega bonus

[molten oasis]

metagross is gonna be nasty in a future mega format

[lofty tartan]

If it even just still has Inner Focus or Multiscale, with 100 more BST it should be great

[short quiver]

i get to use mega mawile 🙂

[molten oasis]

got a bunch of buffs that really help with tough claws

that heavy slam is gonna hurt

one of my issues w/ megas honestly is giving it to already strong mons like psuedo legends

yea

Was it really that bad?

[lofty tartan]

I'm trying to be the very best
