[solid frigate]

No yeah I totally get what you mean

But problem is that a lot of the times it depends on turn 1 which is unhealthy

If it’s similar to the year of the dragon cup which basically is Proto reg G then it’s fine

[waxen dock]

i see flutter and bundle being broken here

[bold geode]

Apparently there is a technical difficulty happening rn with the GC

[waxen dock]

just make the other tour after the gc

[bold geode]

That's the thing
It is

The signup for GC is just bugged for some reason

[waxen dock]

i mean like signups

[bold geode]

Yeah idk

[waxen dock]

5 days are enough

and also who even cares about this tour?

[bold geode]

I hope they get shit straightened out

[waxen dock]

its just a weird format where flutter and bundle dominate the format

[gentle crag]

dazedmika has given 1 Gen Rep to morrispxg456

[shadow wind]

My GameStop did not receive the codes 🥀

Devastating news

[lofty tartan]

My Gamestop sucked for the codes. I had to wait in line for an hour

[shadow wind]

Dang

Yeah mine just had a sign on the door saying they didn’t have them

[lofty tartan]

I managed to get them but I couldn't get any codes for my kid. 😐

So I'll have to give them to her.

[shadow wind]

Yeah some of them are stupidly stingy on the 1 per person rule

[real prairie]

If you figure it out, let me know

[shadow wind]

Even if my GameStop did have the codes I doubt there’d be a line though

I live in a pretty small town

[lofty tartan]

And yet some are doling out stacks of eight because they "asked nicely" and people wonder how they end up on ebay for 40 bucks

[lofty tartan]

Same here. Small area with a single store. Line was wrapped around the back of the building

It's release day for the next PTCG set

Marketing.

[shadow wind]

How small is small?

[lofty tartan]

So my store had a lot of people waiting to get in just to get a free code card

32.5k population. A big town/small city in Maine.

[shadow wind]

Oh dang that is small

Mines about 70k

[lofty tartan]

Yeah. Maine has a lot of wilderness. Cuts down on the yahoos

Saw a redneck scalper and Co. They got shut down by Gstop

[shadow wind]

You’re telling me

[lofty tartan]

Left all grumpy in a mattress truck lol

[waxen dock]

I dont have the codes (probably yet) in my country

[atomic mural]

I just waited for 30 minutes at my game stop just to learn I could have just walked up and said I just there for a shiny code since a new tcg set came out today, and the line was only for that

[lofty tartan]

The 32.5k is census info anyway. We have a lot of homeless too, and they don't participate in censuses

[shadow wind]

Northern Canada has loads of wilderness

[waxen dock]

So gl guys

[lofty tartan]

We've got like 14 billion trees

Maine and Canada are in a bromance.

We're South Canada

[shadow wind]

Yeah pretty much

But I mean soon enough I won’t be in Canada anymore so I won’t be able to make those calls

[lean ridge]

My local GameStop was apparently only given 25 codes but I managed to get one thankfully

Perks of living in a small city I guess

[shadow wind]

Nice

Lowkey wish my town had a GameStop but it’s way too small for it

[polar canyon]

Lowk wish they just made a global distribution

Like what year is it

2012?

[shadow wind]

It’d be so nice to not have to drive 25 minutes to get it

[polar canyon]

It'd be so nice not having to take an international flight to get it

Sorry I don't mean to make your problem seem small

[shadow wind]

Nah it’s chill

Wrong reply

But that’s so fair, I’m lucky I live anywhere near a GameStop

I’m just happy they made the treasures available to everyone

[polar canyon]

Pokemon company and game freak are stuck a decade ago not only in game quality but also in dealing with the global community with reasonable standards

I actually missed that

Is chi yu distribution over yet?

That's the only one I care about because it's the coolest shiny and my favorite legendary oat

[shadow wind]

Pretty sure all of them end on the 31st

[polar canyon]

I love how it stands out from basically any other legendary pokemon by being just a goldfish

If you told someone 5 years ago this goldfish is a legendary they probably wouldn't believe it

[shadow wind]

It’s awesome

And he’s so little

[polar canyon]

And it was also super fun to use in early regs

[shadow wind]

And then has like 180 spatk…

[polar canyon]

Wish I could find the screenshot of chi yu ohkoing a gastrodon resisted

[shadow wind]

Yeah that somehow doesn’t shock me

[polar canyon]

It was like sun specs tera fire

My ranked gameplay peaked at making it from 0 to master ball with a greedent team back then

[shadow wind]

That’s sick

[polar canyon]

Not even being rank 1 worldwide now would surpass that feeling

Greedent team was actually solid

Belly drum cheek pouch sitrus berry with oranguru tr was goated

Then it was just facade + instruct until the game ends

Stomping tantrum for hands that also ohkod flutter

The rest of the team was just a sun team with specs tera fire chi-yu

[foggy lodge]

Remember when Marco used leftovers Chi Yu

[dapper crag]

I should run blunder policy chi yu

[real prairie]

Anyone know how to register for GC since this new tournament has come out?

[lofty tartan]

This is the real truth. We had 2 but one got shuttered, and the one we had lost pretty much everyone a year or so ago, so we almost lost that one too

[dense latch]

codes aren't being distributed where i live so that sucks

hopefully i'll get a spare code or something at some point

[rustic mountain]

if its a gamestop they should have and or get them

but atleast in my area everyone is out cuz of the stupid fuckin tcg release coinciding with it

[stone trellis]

Fuck, that reminds me of my first VGC team.

Blunder Edge Groudon...

[dapper crag]

No way

[stone trellis]

?

[lofty tartan]

Yeah the guys at my Gamestop were giving two to TCG players that told me they didn't even own/play Scarlet/Violet.

I was given one. I needed some for my kid. The other employee to my left gave me a second card.

[rustic mountain]

idk y they r giving it to ppl that dont even own the games

[lofty tartan]

They wanted you to go to Gamestop on TCG xpac release so you'd buy cards or a switch with a za pre-order or whatnot

It's all about the moolah

What irked me, man, was reports of game stops giving out fistfulls of cards days before the specified time. Secondly, Gamestops that are enforcing a spending requirement to be given the cards, and when corrected, don't care and repeat

There's a secondary promotion for spending $15 and getting a TCG promo card. TCG players were getting the promo and shiny bike codes

At least at my Gamestop

[rustic mountain]

yea the guy admitted as much at the one i had stopped by

that all the codes were wiped from the tcg release that ppl were lined up for earlier

[lofty tartan]

And I can't leave my kid with nothing. We got her a pack (because everything else was gutted thanks to Gamestop rewards members getting to double their purchase limits, in groups) and she'll have her shiny bikes

[rustic mountain]

but like i guarantee most ppl didnt even ask for codes

and they just gave em, like why

[lofty tartan]

I didn't see many TCG players ask for a shiny code

They were given it by default

Some were told they had so much time for the code before it expires, so they can purchase s/v in that time frame, when they said they didn't have it

It was a complete mess

[rustic mountain]

[lofty tartan]

Yeah man when that happened I was like "this is borked dude"

And my Gamestop? Only had 100 cards

I was glad I made it in time.

The line wrapped around the back of the store. I had been fielding calls from work all morning and was on the phone with HR when I was called to the counter

[stone trellis]

My fast mode finally won another game.
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2025regj-2449957834

[shadow wind]

Yeah that’s kinda nuts

Like I went to my GameStop like 15 minutes after they opened and not single person was in there other than the workers

[lofty tartan]

People were lined up well before open at mine 🙁

[stone trellis]

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2025regj-2449983212-wp4421ysfmt56nu8219lhv9tnlv0pospw

[lofty tartan]

I pulled in ten minutes before open and they were already at the back of the building

[real prairie]

Any ideas

[bold geode]

At least right this second you're just fucked

[real prairie]

Genius from them

[bold geode]

What happened was that they can only have one signup for a tournament open at a time so they literally overrided the signup for the GC with that bullshit Mickey Mouse ass event that's definitely only there to promote the shiny bikes which y'know

If you're gonna do that maybe idk

HAVE THE FUCKING SHINY BIKES AS A REWARD FROM THAT

[real prairie]

masterball reward is nice and all apart frrom the fact they are fucking piss easy to get this gen lol

[bold geode]

So now not only did they have the GameStop event be a complete mess, but they also have screwed competitive players out of CP they might've needed to qualify for Worlds

Good job TPCi 👍

[stone trellis]

?

[upper zealot]

i mean the gc doesn’t start for another week so it’s not fully fucked up yet

[real prairie]

problem being this new competition starts a week later, so they might not even notice they cocked up

congrats to anyone that registered early, in for an easy ride 🤣

[bold geode]

Yeah but if they don't fix it and no one else can sign up then

They still have plenty of room to fuck up

[upper zealot]

yeah but i dont think they live under a rock. i def wouldnt put it past them to just not care but i feel like they’ll have heard about it before the gc is supposed to start

[bold geode]

It's TPCi
There's a good chance

But like
Hell I only think the registration was up for like
Hell maybe not even a day

So like
More than likely if they fix it, oh yay we now have 1-2 days to register and lock in our teams

[sharp pebble]

anyone wanna help me with making a mono fairy team? (with one exception cause of tera)

also it has to have my bestie mimikyu:3

[next stump]

no codes available at either of my gamestops!

:(((

[bold geode]

It's a shit show my man

[short quiver]

how many times can you use the same code

it says once per save file on the card

🤨

[next stump]

probably once total

[short quiver]

i still need another code

i have both games 🫠

[upper zealot]

all my stores sold out lol

[short quiver]

my coworker bought cards this morning and gave me the shiny bike code

😁

probably

im gonna prioritize shiny korai cuz its cooler

[real prairie]

this is the image he showed from Home

[short quiver]

so violet first then i need another code for scarlet for shiny mirai

[real prairie]

Still feels dodge to me

[short quiver]

i bet 90% of those are fake

[upper zealot]

yeah they’re prob genned/cloned

[lean ridge]

Kevdog is a genner ya

[real prairie]

cheers, figured.

[short quiver]

MAYBE like 3 of them are real, MAYBE

[real prairie]

he popped up on my FB recommended

[short quiver]

yeah kevdog is a genner

idk how the hell im gonna get my shiny mirai if they are having a shortage of codes

🫠

[strange juniper]

pls don't post those links here

[craggy dagger]

what .-.

[lofty tartan]

https://tenor.com/view/nothing-to-see-here-explosion-explode-bomb-fire-gif-4923610

[real prairie]

Sorry

[short quiver]

kevdog is a genner those mons are fake

[craggy dagger]

i know i shouldn’t be asking this here but uh
how much is home premium again-

[lofty tartan]

[real prairie]

depends on your region

[craggy dagger]

i might need extra box space to move all my excess shiny flutter mane 😭

[lofty tartan]

It's pretty affordable. I do yearly

It's helped me do some good for people too

[stone trellis]

You can trade me a few if you don't need them.

[lofty tartan]

But you gotta be careful with the trades

[craggy dagger]

no way what-
15.99 a year

[lofty tartan]

Yeah

[craggy dagger]

that’s
a lot cheaper than i thought

[lofty tartan]

It is. And it's a lot of storage

[lofty tartan]

I keep my hundreds and hundreds of breedjects to accumulate points

[molten oasis]

Sorry what

[lofty tartan]

Home is cheap yearly

[molten oasis]

Oh, I was confused

[stone trellis]

So apparently, Tera Stellar Mirai kills damn near everyone.

I finally have it, the ultimate CTS cheese!

[craggy dagger]

you can have a few 😭
most of them are marked too lol
im tryna get each mark on shiny flutter (ofc rare marks and such are one per pokemon so i just hunt for the ones i dont have )

[lofty tartan]

16 bucks for 6k box space is fine, plus perks

[craggy dagger]

yeahhhh

[real prairie]

i really need to look up how to get marks outside of catch % lol

[stone trellis]

Hit me up when you're ready to trade then.

[craggy dagger]

time to move every flutter mane i have over to home

[lofty tartan]

I've hunted like 120+ shiny flutters for a rare mark and still don't have it

[real prairie]

i know i have a Gormet Pineapple mon, thatll do for now lol

[lofty tartan]

I've had like 4 0-attack

I've done giveaways and started releasing shiny flutters lmao

[craggy dagger]

i got one
and traded it to someone special

funny enough, my first shiny flutter had a mood mark

[lofty tartan]

I think I kept a 0 attack Clever Mark

[craggy dagger]

ooo

[lofty tartan]

Had a loooot of uncommon. Those get released

[short quiver]

i mean id imagine it would

edrift dazzling gleam snarl draco?

[stone trellis]

The calcs are frying me.

EDrift, Overheat, Draco, Snarl.

[craggy dagger]

what calcs-?

[stone trellis]

Gleam does nothing outside of Tera Fairy Specs.

[short quiver]

overheat mirai is a thing?

[stone trellis]

It kills Zamazenta.

[short quiver]

it probably melts zama

[stone trellis]

By a wide margin.

[pulsar cloak]

It day 2'd NAIC, but I honestly think it's a flash in the pan

[craggy dagger]

oh
i thought of a couple fun ideas for the online tournament that’s being hosted with two pokemon 😭

[short quiver]

nice pun

[pulsar cloak]

Multipliers do go crazy on that team

[stone trellis]

Leech Seed Icy takes something like 88% at the very least.

[short quiver]

after tera stellar?

[craggy dagger]

flutter korai would be everywhere methinks
but what about discharge mirai and volt absorb pair

[stone trellis]

Snarl puts CSR on a T-shirt.

[stone trellis]

Yeah.

220+ SpA Hadron Engine Tera Stellar Miraidon Draco Meteor vs. 188 HP / 4 SpD Ogerpon-Hearthflame: 226-266 (126.2 - 148.6%) -- guaranteed OHKO

how could you kill our queen goatpon

[upper zealot]

damn thats cheap as shit i might get it

[stone trellis]

I have GOATflame on my team anyway, chill.

[upper zealot]

30 to 6000 is insane

[short quiver]

i have a lot of bred pokemon can i just stash them in home?

[stone trellis]

Yeah.

[craggy dagger]

yup!

[short quiver]

i have no idea what to do with them

[stone trellis]

Surprise trade them away.

Keep the legit stuff and the items, throw away the genned stuff.

[craggy dagger]

or just
release them

[short quiver]

true

[short quiver]

i would never struggle finding ability patches again

[stone trellis]

Exactly.

Or Master Balls.

[short quiver]

what am i gonna catch in a master ball

[stone trellis]

And you don't have any guilt because you'll release the illegitimate hacked stuff.

[short quiver]

theres no mon i can think of aesthetically pleasing in a master ball

[stone trellis]

Literally anything you want.

[solid frigate]

Shiny Kyogre:

[stone trellis]

I use them when I'm hunting for 0 IV legendaries.

[short quiver]

smart

[stone trellis]

Mostly to speed up the process.

[craggy dagger]

i have a couple
shiny kyogre is one

anything purple for the most part

i like using friend balls a lot tho

[stone trellis]

I already have 0 Attack Kyogre, 0 Speed Groudon, 1 Attack Lunala and 0 Speed/1 Attack Necrozma.

All in Master Balls.

[stone trellis]

Wish I had a use for Groudon...

[short quiver]

i kinda wanna have a wolfey thing where all of his mon are in one type of ball

but the specific ball id want to use would make my life hell

[stone trellis]

So don't force it on yourself.

[short quiver]

i could use my galarian articuno to catch everything

put it to sleep

i want to catch my mons in premier balls

or for distributed pokemon obviously stuck to the red ball

[stone trellis]

252+ SpA Choice Specs Hadron Engine Miraidon Draco Meteor vs. +1 132 HP / 252 SpD Landorus: 153-180 (84.5 - 99.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Yep, CM's the shit.

[lofty tartan]

Dream Ball all the way

[short quiver]

arent those called cherish balls

[lofty tartan]

They are

[stone trellis]

(252 HP / 132 SpD dies 25% of the time, even after +1)

[short quiver]

😁

[craggy dagger]

ngl i forgot that ball existed
you’re so right

[short quiver]

from now on i plan to make all my competitive pokemon in premier balls and cherish balls

[lofty tartan]

I like color coding but I have a set of ruins in premier and a set in luxury. Now a set in cherish. And that seems perfect.

[short quiver]

i just wanna imitate my idol wolfey

he uses a specific ball

[lofty tartan]

Oh.

[short quiver]

and so shall i

[lofty tartan]

Well anyway.

[craggy dagger]

i put most of my ruins in moon ball

[lofty tartan]

Moon is one of my favorites for sure

I did manage to get a shiny 0 Atk Gholdengo in a Moon Ball.

[craggy dagger]

the effects and the ball in general are super pretty

[lofty tartan]

He's my best buddy

[craggy dagger]

ooo

[short quiver]

i just like premier balls cuz they simple but not at the same time, yk?

[lofty tartan]

Love string cheese man

[bold geode]

Quick Ball or nothing

[lofty tartan]

Honestly Quick is really low tier for me except for certain shinies

[craggy dagger]

be aesthetically pleasing for once

[short quiver]

absolutely not

[bold geode]

Bitch I'm sexy enough 💅

moon love dive and beast balls are prolly my fav balls in the game

idk why dive but it’s cool

[short quiver]

i like premier balls and nest balls

[molten oasis]

My GameStop got scalped

[karmic temple]

It’s true

[dapper crag]

Ew

[craggy dagger]

don’t make me pull out the shotgun

[bold geode]

You won't

[craggy dagger]

uh oh-
wait
my shotgun privileges were revoked

WAIT NO I HAVE THEM BACK

screw you monke

[bold geode]

NUH UH

[real prairie]

just faced a life orb ape and my god it hits like a truck

[short quiver]

oh i bet

what did it have instead of final gambit though

[real prairie]

low kick, CC & rage fist

[solid frigate]

What the heck happened

[short quiver]

oop

[short quiver]

they apparently had a GIF battle

so officially decided im
catching everything in premier and net balls

my galarian articuno is gonna be my mon of choice for this endeavor

[craggy dagger]

monke hit me in the head so i bit back

[real prairie]

for anyone in Spain:

[dapper crag]

Ew shiny bikes

[short quiver]

anyone know if someone would trade a garticuno for a latias (i already made the request in the trade channel, im just asking if there’s even a point in that trade

[solid frigate]

Make sense

[real prairie]

Could always try that trade in WTC

[short quiver]

hm?

whats wtc

[real prairie]

world trade centre on Pokemon Home

[short quiver]

yeah but i dont want the garticuno to be fake

and using home there is always that risk

[real prairie]

sorry its called GTS now

im old

[real prairie]

Look for one from Go i guess, most fakes won't be from Go

from my knowledge anyway

[short quiver]

yeah but would anyone even want a latias for that

its in a timerball if they care about aesthetics

[dapper crag]

[real prairie]

showing my age

[short quiver]

wait the galar birds are in Go?

since when 💀

[craggy dagger]

since uh

a while ago iirc

[short quiver]

im tryinna get one and it be real so im hesitant to use the Home gts

and all i got for it is a latias in a timer ball

[craggy dagger]

do you want me to give you one of mine 😭

[short quiver]

gang has…. more than one birb?

shut it rotom

[short quiver]

are any of them in premier balls 😔

probably not

[craggy dagger]

i can hunt one in a prem ball

i have a swsh save going and i haven’t tracked the galarian birds yet

[short quiver]

😮

https://tenor.com/view/chipi-chapa-chipi-chipi-chipi-chipi-cat-chipi-chipi-dancing-cat-gif-10997735880837555564

[craggy dagger]

i’ll get to hunting tomorrow is that’s ok
i kinda wanna work somethin out

[distant vector]

Yo is anyone here available to test out a certain matchup on pokemon showdown w me?

[short quiver]

no big deal im in no hurry

[white marsh]

Can someone help me build a team? I'm right now deciding the members and the evs, I can take a pic if you want

[solid frigate]

show us teh core concept

[white marsh]

Whimsicot as the main support, rillaboom for grassy surge and for sneaseler's unburden with grassy seed. Haven't thought about the rest yet though

[short quiver]

Grass seed instead of psychic seed?

Interesting

[white marsh]

I could also do indeedee maybe, but rillaboom is slower so it won't get countered by rillaboom

U turn with it's slowness can help get sneaseler into the field if I don't set up tailwind with whimsicott in a worst case of whimsicott getting taunted

[bold geode]

It won a GC and a regional

[bold geode]

[white marsh]

idk if I should put fake out on rillaboom or sneasler

[stone trellis]

Both.

Both is best.

[white marsh]

Then what should I do for item lol

leftover ig for 1/8 healing lol

What other pokemon should I put tho? I don't know what else do do

[next stump]

rillaboom can take assault vest

[white marsh]

Yeah I should prob do that

What about evs tho

[real prairie]

They are roaming via the daily adventure incense, and they have 100% flee rate if you don't catch on the 1st ball

[short quiver]

so a 0% chance of getting one in a premier ball or a net ball

[white marsh]

Premier balls are only in raids I think

[real prairie]

Think all pokemon transfered from Go are in premier balls

[short quiver]

yeah i know i play pogo

[cyan smelt]

Think I might abandon the idea of using blunder policy gliscor and just stick with covert cloak but keep farig

[real prairie]

It could take weeks to get a bird to spawn on Go though, and even if you find one no guarantee it's the one you want

[real prairie]

I assume it's hypercutter so don't need CLAM

Thinking aloud btw

[short quiver]

0 attack would be ideal

being weak to dark already and all

[real prairie]

Yeah don't even try that on pogo 😭🤣

[cyan smelt]

Yeah I feel like toxic orb poison heal is bait

[real prairie]

Lorb?

[short quiver]

🫠

[real prairie]

Drops swords dance

[cyan smelt]

Covert cloak for anti sneasler

[short quiver]

its okay maybe Latte Owl can help me out tomorrow

[real prairie]

It's already anti Sneasler lol

[short quiver]

i think i also have a file i can hunt for it myself as well

[cyan smelt]

Yeah but it can still get paralysed

[short quiver]

although im gonna have a very fun time 0atk iv hunting a mon with premier balls

thats gonna be a real test of patience

and theyre shiny locked in swsh right

[real prairie]

0atk is such a niche use case.

I understand why people do it but feels really anal to me

[real prairie]

Not sure but think so outside of raids

[cyan smelt]

I think kingambit would go well on tailroom but then I still need something for indeedee sneasler

[short quiver]

the galar birds arent in the raids so im cooked

[short quiver]

its not niche its good for 2 scenarios

foul play and the damage you deal to yourself in confusion

[solid frigate]

Nothing remarkable fucking uses Foul play in this format lol,not even Grimmsnarl or Farigiraf

[short quiver]

and can you justify the confusion part 🤨

[solid frigate]

I don’t think I seen anyone who has confused besides outrage Dnite lmao

Unless they get hit by Hurricane from Pelipper anyways but that’s a fair point

Foul play however I never seen it at all in this format

[short quiver]

isnt it calced the minmaxxed attack iv is actually 4

takes the same damage as 0 but if whatever reason it had a physical attack it should do literally 1 more point of damage

[solid frigate]

That’s why I don’t really care about the 0 attack IV stuff

Unless their offensive stats are relatively similar or I am using a different Nature

jesus

[solid frigate]

And you probably run Life Orb with this thing cuz I done that before

Or specs if you are bold enough

[short quiver]

i was thinking sash until i saw 90 base hp 85 def and 100 spd

sash is kinda wasted

it learns tailwind

interesting 🤔

[fringe dagger]

ally switch too

[short quiver]

could i just wide lens and spam hypnosis and hurricane

[short quiver]

oh yeah true

[fringe dagger]

if positioned right it could get competitive boosts and stuff

[solid frigate]

Just run Freezing Glare,Hurricane Coverage move and Protect

[short quiver]

but hypnosis 🥺

[solid frigate]

You ain’t doing Hypnosis stuff with this guy

[short quiver]

dream eater

[solid frigate]

You want to cost two moves for a Articuno when it also needs protect

[short quiver]

id say i could drop freezing glare for dream eater but idk about that

since dream eater is conditional and freezing glare is not

[fringe dagger]

freezing glare is its best psychic stab tho

[solid frigate]

Freezing Glare,Hurricane,Shadow Ball/Tera Fighting Blast,Protect

[short quiver]

for coverage my options are shadow ball hyper voice tera blast and power gem

[solid frigate]

You usually just pair that thing with a fighting type anyway

Cuz it’s literally just ST shadow Rider but a bird

[short quiver]

it will be with a fighting type i just cant decide which one

[fringe dagger]

you guys think that g-articuno would make a decent core with kyogre?

[short quiver]

i mean stab base 125 spa guaranteed accurate hurricane might do some damage

[solid frigate]

Wait

Is it for reg J

[short quiver]

yuh

[solid frigate]

The entire conversation just becomes

Just use fucking CSR Zama LMAO

[short quiver]

what else would it be for 💀

garticuno is banned in H

[solid frigate]

ND Doubles

[short quiver]

what

[solid frigate]

Smogon Doubles shit

[short quiver]

oh

no no its for actual in game

😁

[solid frigate]

If it’s for Reg J just use Fcking CSR Zama and build around it

[short quiver]

csr is gross

[solid frigate]

CSR Zama can still use some niche stuff if you are persistent on it

[short quiver]

i mean ill suffer for my beloved birb

sacrifices must be made for the greater good

[fringe dagger]

i have an outline for where i want my dozogiri team to go and i need feedback chat..

[fringe dagger]

use spectrier its funny

[short quiver]

thats not restricted

who would my other res mon be 💀

[fringe dagger]

i know, use it anyway

and use cir with it too 😎

[short quiver]

now thats trolling

cir with spectrier garticuno zamazenta

thats also a lot of dark weaknesses

how about zama mirai garticuno :3

[fringe dagger]

the 2 restricteds get wrecked by a ground type though..

[short quiver]

solution: a certain gorilla

[fringe dagger]

[short quiver]

what

[fringe dagger]

that means: you’re cooking!

[short quiver]

idk

it sounds like it would work but would it actually

[fringe dagger]

there is only one way to find out

[short quiver]

im also probably the only person using garticuno in reg j

i imagine it’s no longer possible to obtain a shiny zama

[rigid crane]

Nope

[short quiver]

https://tenor.com/view/ahoklollmao-noooo-nooo-noo-no-gif-17139315586294057944

You’re 3 years too late

Wait nvm

[cyan smelt]

Team building is too hard for me atm, I think I just need to use a rental

[rigid crane]

I forgot about PoGo

[short quiver]

so yeah its not possible i dont play like that fr anymore

[white marsh]

Reg g is so werid, I have sneaseler and electabuzz in the same team😭

[rigid crane]

https://tenor.com/view/i-don't-know-idk-idk-about-that-gif-7336250873949261946

[short quiver]

tfym reg G

where are you playing reg G at 💀

[white marsh]

showdown + making the team for the cup

H I got confused lol

[short quiver]

wouldnt that be Reg H

[white marsh]

yeah

[short quiver]

i was gonna say😭

[white marsh]

I STILL got to choose 2 more pokemon😭

[short quiver]

bros cooking reg H for the GC while im cooking Garticuno fro reg j

[white marsh]

what's gonna be it's moveset?

[short quiver]

freezing glare hurricane hypervoice protect

id use shadow ball but im using csr

[white marsh]

hyper voice?

[short quiver]

and id use tera fighting blast but
im also using zama

[white marsh]

Only ever seen it used with pixilate or aerialate

[white marsh]

oh ok

[short quiver]

bro has never fought an Ursaluna

[white marsh]

well yeah i mean pokemon who get stab on it

I think I put ghondengo + incine and remove fake out from sneeasler

I wish I could use my shiny koridon but oh well

[short quiver]

i mean its only other option besides shadow and fighting blast would be power gem

hypervoice is better

[white marsh]

yeah not like you have a choice

[short quiver]

i mean i do

i could go with hypnosis or ally swap

[white marsh]

i guess you could but hypnosis is only 60 and ally swap is just like protect where the more you use it the less chance to work

[short quiver]

i could wide lens

it makes hypnosis and hurricane both more accurate

[white marsh]

still only 66 tho

[short quiver]

????????

[white marsh]

you aren't using it in a rain team?

[short quiver]

no

[white marsh]

wide lens makes accuracy 1.1x

[short quiver]

zama csr

[white marsh]

yeah ig it would work for both then, but dopesn't it also have blizzard or am I just misremembering?

[white marsh]

oh damn

[short quiver]

i could add sableye

[white marsh]

For rain dance prankster?

[short quiver]

no

gravity intensifies

[white marsh]

ohhhh yeah that works

[short quiver]

thats not a bad idea

[white marsh]

omg I just got the dumbest idea it might just work

Sparkiling aria choice specs hyper voice primarina

[short quiver]

why would you have two water type moves

[white marsh]

Deals with ursaluna as well

[white marsh]

that's the ability

[short quiver]

yeah

why do you want two water type moves

[white marsh]

i don't

[short quiver]

just use hypervoice unless you have an ally with dry skin or water absorb

or wide guard ig

[white marsh]

Damn wait I mean liquid voice

could have sworn that was the name

[short quiver]

why use sparkling aria with liquid voice

[tiny karma]

Ability: Liquid Voice

This Pokemon's sound-based moves become Water-type moves. This effect comes after other effects that change a move's type, but before Ion Deluge and Electrify's effects.

Sableye version 4.28.4

[short quiver]

?????

[white marsh]

no like I thought sparkaling aria was the ability name of liquid voice

[short quiver]

lmao

no sparkling aria is the name of her signature move

which she doesnt even use

[white marsh]

damn knew it was from somewhere lol

[white marsh]

she isn't the only one from aloha to do that lol

[cyan smelt]

I thought of a niche use for imprison farigiraf, not only does it imprison tr but hyper voice as well so ursaluna bm and primarina can't use it

[short quiver]

have a signature move they dont use?

[white marsh]

Yeah incin

[short quiver]

i was gonna say incineroar intensifies

[white marsh]

Yeah that could work

[cyan smelt]

And twin beam to deal with every sneasler except the tera dark ones

[white marsh]

I don't know how to build primarina so I have hyper voice dazziling gleam ice beam and flip turn

[short quiver]

chat i can use gravity clefairy

[white marsh]

yeah that works

[cyan smelt]

No you need protect on there and haze I think for dozo

[white marsh]

but then no pranster

[short quiver]

true, but i get after you if they try to TR me instead

[white marsh]

dozo is still in meta? I mean ig I could assume that from reg h

[cyan smelt]

Yeah it's always around

[white marsh]

yeah

[cyan smelt]

I think most common moves for primarina are moonblast and hyper voice

[white marsh]

yeah that's better lol makes sense

[cyan smelt]

Tera poison for rilla and sneasler

[white marsh]

Can't think for the other 2 moves tho it's choiced

[cyan smelt]

You could run calm mind grassy seed

[short quiver]

specs prim????

[white marsh]

is there something better?

[short quiver]

points to where they said it was choiced

[cyan smelt]

I wouldn't run specs on prim

[white marsh]

why not?

[short quiver]

i wouldnt either but to each there own

[short quiver]

cuz it gets a very good move called haze, for instance

[cyan smelt]

Specs is better on something like gholdengo that has the option of tricking it onto a fake out user or physical attacker or set up

[white marsh]

didn't think of that lol

[white marsh]

yeah prob gonna do that then

[cyan smelt]

Prim needs protect

[white marsh]

off I alreeady have grassy seed on sneasler

[cyan smelt]

Oh then throat spray

[white marsh]

it's that weak on def?

[white marsh]

oh ok

[cyan smelt]

Yes it's frail

[short quiver]

i cant decide if i want prankster gravity or if i want access to after you as well

omg im stupid, i can just give sableye Quash

and then i can fuck them in their own tr

[white marsh]

doesn't clefairy also get after you or is it only their evo?

[cyan smelt]

Clefairy gets after you

[short quiver]

i was referring to clefairy when i said after you

clefable almost never sees play cuz eviolite clefairy is just better

[white marsh]

yeah ok I was confused and thought clefable was clefairy

[upper zealot]

gseed cm is fun

[white marsh]

cm?

[cyan smelt]

Calm mind

[upper zealot]

calm mind

[white marsh]

oh ok

Idk if I should use haze or calm mind tho

[upper zealot]

prob haze tbh

[short quiver]

with gravity in my team can i afford some slightly less accurate moves

[white marsh]

yeah the other moves I need

[cyan smelt]

If your team otherwise struggles with dozo, use haze

[white marsh]

idk if i will lol I'll just see at the end

I've already choseen the members basically

[short quiver]

csr special zama physical garticuno special sableye physical

id like to keep the balance

lowkey wanna throw my suicune in this team too

[white marsh]

physical garticuno? isn't it a special attacker?

Or am I just dumb lol

[short quiver]

read that again

😐

[white marsh]

oh

[white marsh]

it was this then

[short quiver]

lmao

to answer your question garticuno is significantly special

the base attack stats are 40 points apart

[white marsh]

well yeah it's psychic

[short quiver]

medicham and galade would like to know your location

[white marsh]

except for gallade and medichan most are special

[short quiver]

so would lugia i think its mixed

thoughts on the team?

that could work

[short quiver]

rilla to help with mirai zama both being weak to ground since i can only tera one

[craggy dagger]

a good poison type looks like it could sweep the team clean
sorta

[craggy dagger]

double terrain is finicky tho

[short quiver]

oh yeah true

i need a solution to ground

since i was planning to have gravity its especially important

[craggy dagger]

is it?

methinks ogerpon might do good

[short quiver]

omg

goatpon

shes always the answer

id probably want water in this team

[craggy dagger]

rock or fire imo

gets you coverage

[short quiver]

im gonna use pauls tera stellar overheat mirai set

[craggy dagger]

ah

then prolly rock

[short quiver]

im trying to think what rock gives me that i dont already have

[craggy dagger]

or you can just run hearthflame regardless

[short quiver]

very true

does the sable of eyes learn e terrain to manual terrain

[craggy dagger]

oh
that too

I think you still play this mon adamant

[craggy dagger]

yeah you have a point there

[foggy lodge]

Loaded dice was used because it killed sash shifu on the worlds meta

[craggy dagger]

you get speed from tera anyways

[foggy lodge]

And other mons through sash

So like you just set the benchmark on adamant shifu

[short quiver]

teal mask embody aspect gives speed?

[craggy dagger]

you think thats a menace?

@foggy lodge how much does lando EP do to av mirai

[craggy dagger]

you underestimate the power of anger point + flower trick...

[short quiver]

[next dust]

one topsy turvy makes that all debuff.

and you have to bank on a crit

idk
you're talking to a stupid niche teambuilder here lol

[next dust]

yeah if youre dumb enough to waste three turns to try and set up.

meanwhile my sweeper is fully set up and starts to ohko

[craggy dagger]

three?

[next dust]

one gets topsy turvy two gets you to zero three to rebuff.

even two is one turn too many

not to mention i can topsy turvy myself if your team is built to debuff me

[craggy dagger]

im failing to see your setup sweeper sob

if garchomp is your setup

[craggy dagger]

it locks you into protect

[next dust]

until i swap

[foggy lodge]

that protect is hitting like a truck

[craggy dagger]

so true

[molten oasis]

What is happening

[next dust]

which is needed if you lead into something bad and need to scope out before making a change

[foggy lodge]

with specs it actually has 2/3 of getting the double protect instead of 1/3!!!

[craggy dagger]

just run life orb or smth like that instead

so you can protect and attack

[next dust]

no specs was the right choice

[craggy dagger]

also hey drago
when did you get here

[foggy lodge]

doesn't gardevoir also get trick

[molten oasis]

Just now

[craggy dagger]

oh man
i wish this was true

[next dust]

i didnt need trick

[molten oasis]

This gimmick shit?

[craggy dagger]

gc

[foggy lodge]

ok but why do you need protect on the specs mon LMAO

[next dust]

.

i already answered that

[craggy dagger]

so you switch and lose momentum

[next dust]

the team banks on letting someone set up what arent we understanding here

[molten oasis]

I see

[foggy lodge]

Is the set up mon the no protect no stomping tantrum brick break garchomp

[next dust]

yes the sweeper is the setup mon.

totally

not the topsy turvy smeargle

@solid frigate tell me to stop before its too late

[next dust]

quick question. how many of yalls matches in gc did you win?:

[foggy lodge]

0 because i didn't play because i hate this format

[craggy dagger]

i didnt play cuz i felt like skipping it

[next dust]

i won 36 of 45 with that team

[craggy dagger]

good for you
did u ever click protect on garde?

[next dust]

quite a few times

tera fairy moonblast in tailwind will wipe any dragon type with specs. if i thought they would lead a sweeper i led gardevoir. if they didnt i protected then decided on tailwind or not then made my swap into something better most times.

if they went for setup and saw protect they most of the time assumed they would get a second one off when smeargle came in and topsy turvy

[tiny karma]

Item: Black Sludge

Each turn, if holder is a Poison type, restores 1/16 max HP; loses 1/8 if not.

Sableye version 4.28.4

[foggy lodge]

why is the amoonguss black sludge?

[next dust]

leftovers was used and its a poison type

[solid frigate]

Just stop Nova plssss

[next dust]

let me to decide what my wall would be on a match by match basis if i needed one without sacrificing the hp

[solid frigate]

You done too much lol

[foggy lodge]

its one of the teams of all times congrats on the run

[next dust]

it worked. better than most players in masters.

that would by definition make it better than "one of the teams of all times"

[craggy dagger]

i didnt think you'd actually-
lmao

[solid frigate]

Genuinely worried on that lmao

[craggy dagger]

lol

[solid frigate]

https://pokepast.es/a077a4868d0a001c Can anyone rate tell me what they think of this reg h team?

[craggy dagger]

man i love wugtrio

its such a stupid mon

[jade dust]

@solid frigate how was your Evernight pulls?

[craggy dagger]

i think he's saving for cyrene

[solid frigate]

and ummmm even i can read i still thinking what the hell happened to her V1

[jade dust]

Lol she’s

The most unique character

I’m saving from now on to Cyrene too

I was planning to skip Evernight if I lost the 50/50

Hard pity but I won

I had 160 pulls saved

Hard pity too but it’s fine

I had like 35 pulls left after changing whale dust for pulls

[solid frigate]

Ult charge is so abysmal without Castorice team ahhhhhhh

What is this Lugia

This is just Lugia calm mind ahhh play style

[jade dust]

She can be the main dps without Cas tho

0 cycle Lygus in MoC

[solid frigate]

thats locked to E1 (Cyrene)

[craggy dagger]

oo

i lost my 50/50 so im sad...

[solid frigate]

yeah Evernight can do that

[craggy dagger]

at least im guaranteed for either e1 terravox or e0s1 cyrene :0

[solid frigate]

Cyrene for me its 99% i can get E0S1 if i got 224 pulls at the end of her banner

[jade dust]

Nah

[solid frigate]

I mean Cyrene not Evernight

[jade dust]

I 0 cycle Lygus

[jade dust]

Rip

I had 35 pulls left and

[craggy dagger]

like
i can swipe but idk

[jade dust]

After playing with her and seeing how fun she is

I was like, man I wish I could get at least e1

[solid frigate]

i'm the only one who genuinely doesn't want Evernight

[jade dust]

So I decided to throw some pulls

[craggy dagger]

dam

[jade dust]

This is insane

In 2 multis

[craggy dagger]

what

the fu

uh oh..
i might be screwed into this fight...

[solid frigate]

he's a dolphin for a while but yeah thats like

[craggy dagger]

ok nvm saber just does so much damage 😭

[solid frigate]

i still 7 cycle current MoC so i am still chilling

i can do 6 cycle if RNG is on my favour

[jade dust]

This game treats me very well so

Might be a bait to keep me spending

Who knows

[waxen dock]

just use sitrus or rocky helmet, black slufge means that you cant tera since if you tera you take a lot of damag

[waxen dock]

so what place did you get?

[next dust]

In what world would using my tera on amoonguss mean I wasn't desperately losing

[waxen dock]

tera on amoonguss is very useful

cuz if you have something like low hp glimm against incin and yphlosion you can use spore on typhlosion

[next dust]

Most of my spores came from sash smeargle

[waxen dock]

so why do you need both amonguss and smeargle?

[next dust]

Rage powder. And as a wall.

But it was picked much less than rotom wash

Where tera lightning thunder or hydro pump came much more in handy in a pinch

[jade dust]

I love Rotom wash but I hate hydro pump

Shit misses half of the time

[waxen dock]

what place did you get with this team?

[next dust]

The only time I needed it was usually against other garchomp or tyranitar

Thunder was used much much more to punish tera water.

[next dust]

I have zero idea how do I check this was my first competitive attempt I only know the amount of matches I won

[waxen dock]

you can see in your nintendo

[next dust]

I can check when I get home from work

[waxen dock]

click past results

you can also check it on pokemon home

[next dust]

Okay im seeing the tournament but where do I see what I ranked on there

[white marsh]

https://pokepast.es/a077a4868d0a001c Rate my reg h team

[solid frigate]

[dapper crag]

Delusional

[white marsh]

[dapper crag]
