molten oasis
#

But like who uses Eternatus?

rustic mountain
#

honestly all the trios are kinda mid

molten oasis
#

Wrong Mon

rustic mountain
#

just varying levels

molten oasis
#

Enamorous I’m tired lol

rustic mountain
#

eh its still there

dense latch
#

enamorus is kinda like the ugly duckling of the genies
introduced later on
way worse than the other three
sig move can miss in rain

molten oasis
#

It exists

molten oasis
#

Why did you screw over Enamorous’s move

rustic mountain
#

idk if itd help that much

forest arrow
#

What crazy is landos has a chance to burn

dense latch
#

also the worst secondary effect
i get fairy is a strong typing and all but idt it was necessary at all

rustic mountain
#

whats the secondary

Lame

molten oasis
#

Oh it’s spread special play rough

rustic mountain
#

not awful tbh but yea not good

molten oasis
#

Could be better

dense latch
#

i forget they're 30% and not 20

#

but burn para and speed drop are generally more impactful

molten oasis
forest arrow
#

Oh true lmao

molten oasis
#

But that move could be crazy if special lando t ever returns (doubt)

rustic mountain
#

windbolt is arguably the best secondary and gets used the least

molten oasis
#

Thundy just isn’t in the spotlight anymore lol

rustic mountain
#

even if the move was better enamorus for some reason never seemed to find good footing (either form)

molten oasis
#

The tr mode not getting footing was wild to me

#

That seemed like a really good tr guy

i think a different format would do well for it

molten oasis
rustic mountain
#

its stats are solid

molten oasis
#

That hp stat ain’t great but it’s solid

rustic mountain
#

its just not really a sweeper

dense latch
#

it's nothing too crazy but not bad i guess

molten oasis
#

It’s no Ursa lol

dense latch
#

but it doesn't really one shot anything and its spread is pretty unreliable

molten oasis
#

Oh enamorous was the same time as Ursa, then Bloodmoon happened

rustic mountain
#

generally on tr u want things that can just take things off the board, therian even w/ specs wasnt the greatest for that

molten oasis
#

Instead we have rabies bear and blood moon

forest arrow
#

Yeah it wasn’t even Tera fairy gleam wasnt picking up KOs with specs

#

Kind of pitiful to say the least

molten oasis
#

Tbf gleam is a weak move

rustic mountain
#

nd while the bulks solid its not cir which is fine in more sustained based games

#

obviously legend vs restricted but still more the idea on how it functions

molten oasis
#

It’s like, 60 bp(?) because of spread

Damn faster than shifu and never popped off

it's a bit of a shame it has to compete with flutter as a fast fairy special attacker

forest arrow
#

Wasn’t it used more physical lol

molten oasis
#

You’re cursed with bad flying coverage tho that kinda sucks

forest arrow
#

Superpower play rough

molten oasis
#

And you’re competing with flutteryeah

dense latch
#

and the physical set with contrary isn't great either just doesnt have the movepool for it i feel like

rustic mountain
molten oasis
#

Maybe next gen

#

Genies are in every single gen so it’ll get its chance

rustic mountain
#

we missed the tapus this gen, there will be a gen in the not so distant future we dont have ruins or paradox

dense latch

i miss tapu fini

molten oasis

Fini would be awesome

rustic mountain

Dude it’s so bulky and so hard to remove

rustic mountain
#

yea

#

its a good mon

molten oasis
#

I like ultra beasts I hope we see them soon for champions

rustic mountain
#

ultra beasts are also just a very cool concept and execution

molten oasis
#

I think paradox (past ones) are better

rustic mountain
forest arrow
#

Buzzwole

molten oasis
#

Future paradox have like, hands lol

forest arrow
#

Was he good

rustic mountain
#

idk bout sm but not in swsh

molten oasis

#

Pheremosa was also like, okay

forest arrow
#

always the mons I like bruh lol gotta be okay or dogshit

rustic mountain
#

my fav is blacephalon and its kinda mid haha

molten oasis
#

The standouts were Kartana Nihilego and Celesteela I think

rustic mountain
#

also nagandel which is solid

forest arrow
#

Blacephalon is goated

molten oasis
#

I love naganadel

#

Wasp dragon

rustic mountain
#

yeh

forest arrow
#

Nagandel is solid? That’s cool to hear

molten oasis
#

It was like that b tier Mon that was solid but not common

rustic mountain
#

idt it did anything crazy but it had a few formats that it did ok in

dense latch
#

i remember dynamax celesteela being insanely annoying

molten oasis
#

I think

#

that sounds so annoying

forest arrow
#

I was scared to ask cause it’s def my fav

#

Poipole is so cute lol

molten oasis
forest arrow
#

But hey I’ll take solid

molten oasis
dense latch
#

im looking at some swsh usage stats to refresh my memory on some of these formats

forest arrow
#

True

#

Why didn’t I think of that

molten oasis
#

That’s what I do and I’m completely mentally stable

rustic mountain
#

we need to get a fully realized alternate dimension starter trio (poipole i think was confirmed a starter in the sm games)

#

legends alola? peepoglad

molten oasis
#

Supposedly next is not gen 7

dense latch
#

coming 2034

stone trellis
#

The fact that you order moves in the exact opposite way that I do it annoys me for no reason.

molten oasis
#

Id discuss it but idk if im allowed

rustic mountain
#

prolly not tbh

molten oasis
#

I’m excited, if it’s true that is

molten oasis
#

Maybe that seems ok

#

Could go steel too

forest arrow
#

I was thinking steel over grass

stone trellis
#

They are actually an almost perfect type triangle.

molten oasis
#

They are that’s true

forest arrow
#

but they do make a triangle

cyan smelt
#

don't forget stakataka

molten oasis
#

It’s no fire water grass

stone trellis
#

Only Ground doesn't resist itself.

#

God, imagine Pdon if it was neutral to Ground.

cyan smelt
#

i love stakataka

rustic mountain
#

we didnt forget it

stone trellis
molten oasis
#

Stakataka was like, fine in vgc I think

forest arrow
#

Two we didn’t mention was Guzzlord and Pheromosa

#

Were those 2 solid

cyan smelt
#

stakataka is great in tr

rustic mountain
#

easily one of the best performing if not the best ultra beast of gen 7

molten oasis
#

I said pheromosa bruh

forest arrow
#

rustic mountain

yea that secondary effect of collision is tough

stone trellis
#

No one ever uses anything above 196 Adamant to my knowledge, but aight.

cyan smelt
#

i wanna use my shiny naganadel

molten oasis
#

Yo I’m an idiot lmao

rustic mountain
#

i think it was just to show the max max calc

molten oasis
#

It does not take shifu close combat lol

stone trellis
#

Then why is Stakataka's Defense not maxed out?

rustic mountain
#

nobody is running 252 def stak either

#

it was dude r u reading

molten oasis
dense latch
#

no stak would last to ko two mons in the face of a koraidon either

molten oasis
#

It’s naturally 231

dense latch
#

i can give it bold there's still a roll

stone trellis
#

Fair.

cyan smelt
#

what ivs on it do you need to get the attack boost or whatever, it's a certain nature and a certain number of ivs

molten oasis
#

Probably wanna invest into hp or attack/special defense

dense latch
#

but no one ran that much investment on stak at one point it's just diminishing returns

stone trellis
#

Lonely, 17 IVs.

stone trellis
#

Lowering, not neutral.

Oh yeah the ultra beasts would run wacky natures and ivs sometimes

Guzzlord also suffers from Blissey syndrome where it has too frail defenses to take advantage of the fact that it's almost fatter than Zygarde in terms of HP, right?

dies to shifu real fast

band rilla was also a pain for it in swsh

honestly i think the requirements to get mega zygarde r not gna b worth the set up to obtain

rustic mountain

half health to even activate the mega? ik ppl will try and get creative but still

Zac has a good niche when xern is around at least

At least to outspees shifu and flutter

basically half of the Viable restricteds can melt Zygarde easily

Miraidon,Xerneas,Zacian,Kyogre(Ice Beam),Ice Rider,Shadow Rider

rustic mountain

yea

molten oasis

Yeah

stone trellis
#

Shadow Rider won't do it turn 1.

molten oasis
#

Zygarde struggles for a reason lol

solid frigate
stone trellis
#

Probably needs three to achieve anything.

molten oasis
#

Pao is honestly it’s #1 enemy

dense latch
#

mega zygarde means primals
mega ray, probably xern et

which can just exert way too much pressure from the very first turns

molten oasis
#

Pao just kinda steamrolls it

stone trellis
#

And it gets 2HKOed easily by Lorb EP, which does almost the same as Zygarde EP.

dense latch
#

cam you justify a mega and a restricted slot for it idk

stone trellis
#

Yeah, Pao is gonna have its biggest run in the first few days before everyone realises how trash MGarde is.

#

Man is gonna be hitting the Wally West pose, that shit will be freelo to him.

is mega garde that much harder? its like 3 letters and way less confusing

im lookin like tf is mgarde

Hopefully it isn’t there yet cuz I wanna break from incin

rustic mountain
#

id hope first format is regional dex

molten oasis
#

Incins great and all but, I don’t wanna deal with it anymore

molten oasis
#

You have to guess which ones the mega since 80% of the ZA dex is megas lol

rustic mountain
#

ur under the assumption bo3 is ots going into the next gen/game

#

also itll become apparent very quickly which megas are actually worth it

molten oasis
#

Oh I’m assuming we’re playing bo1 still

dense latch
#

i wonder how they’re gonna choose what gets in for a regional dex format

molten oasis
#

Unless they really input a bo3 system

rustic mountain
#

maybe dlc included as well

molten oasis

Would be fun and get us used to the new megas

I’m using bax and Delphox first those 2 are so cool

maybe first format is za then second add dlcs possibly

Oh, yeah that’s likely the case

forest arrow

fair tho

most of em did stay true to their type

still double the changes we got in this one with the 26 we got so far

yea

5/30 if you count the 4 dlc mons we got

How are they gonna like

Give Baxcal 100 BST

They will give him 30 or 40 spa

And then like 20 attack and the rest in defenses amd speed

Either they can go into Chandelure route and give it 170 Atk or they can go on a Pyroar route

Touching grass and doing stuff other than Pokemon feels good

So I feel like this would be easier to get the last ribbon I need. Idk wtf to do with tTar bc I've never used it. It's kinda a middling speed team with tr for teams where tw wouldn't get me speed advantage. Tempted to go with a bulky gardi set with citrus berry and give the life orb to zard but then that would make it purely a TR team

#

Could also continue with choice specs gardi for way more damage but then I'd have to swap out protect for destiny bond, psyshock, psychic or something else

#

Destiny bond is an odd choice but in reg J, it has single handedly won me some matches by letting me trade it for a restricted on the enemy side since nobody expects it

#

But I'm not very good so probably wouldn't work higher up

foggy lodge
#

why does the indeedee have fake out

stone trellis
#

Took me two tries to get a 2 Attack IV UBM.

#

Do I keep it or do I roll for 0/1 IVs?

foggy lodge
#

hmmmm

#

Probably the best would be to keep it but if I got that I would reset for the 0 iv one lol

#

Getting a hard TR blursa is so fucked up

#

Well maybe it isn't that bad

#

Cuz Blursa has a super specific speed tier where

#

Between like 50 and 60 there's really nothing else

#

Well there's Brute Bonnet maybe

58 is occupied by P2.

No P2 is also base 60

Unless you are talking about min speed

I rarely talk about base stats.

You've probably qualified for Worlds already.

i hope i get the ta

but we dont know the details of the ta yet so idk how many people will get it

#

but i need to keep wining gcs for the ta

cyan smelt
#

I realised I've had a fixed mindset rather than a growth mindset and that's been limiting my improvement

waxen dock
#

when did they release the ta details last year?

undone sage
#

Did they not say that you get travel awards/stipends this year?

#

But looking at the leaderboards, both you and the other guy in your region will get an invite

#

There are 5 spots

#

We realised we didn't have my kiddos Nintendo account linked to the play Pokemon thing, so he didn't get his CP for the grand challenge WuffelsBum

waxen dock
#

travel award not invite

undone sage
#

Yeah, I mentioned that

next stump
#

they didn’t even announce the LAIC stipend winners until maybe a month ago, they’re really bad with that information

#

you’ll probably get it in Spring of next year

#

Can you look at the info from last season and guess the amount?

waxen dock
next stump
#

that’s what i’m answering

waxen dock
#

spring next year that in a lot of time

#

thats like 6 months

#

so how am i supposed to book the flight in time if i know if i get ta only in may or april

next stump
#

yep, they’re bad with that info

#

you can try messaging support

real prairie
#

They assume everyone has money, one of the worst parts of Competitive PKMN

#

Personally feel all Regional winners should get an auto Travel award as part of the prize

cyan smelt
#

Is Brian good in reg f

waxen dock
#

they get 6000$ thats enogh money

forest arrow
#

no

waxen dock
cyan smelt

#

i think they just need to stop doing worlds in us

#

its so annoying cuz us is far from almost everyone and its expensive

#

europe and japan arent expensive and i think they are closer for some regions

next stump
#

this is from last year’s worlds

waxen dock
#

but they said we get first time ta so we didnt get ta last season

#

so i asked the support

#

last time i contacted their support they said they cant help but it was regarding the gc

next stump
#

where did they say they changed it? apparently your region still doesn’t get TAs for internationals

waxen dock
next stump
#

sure, but when/where did they announce that change?

waxen dock
#

thats from vr but i also remember that they said something about it too in the official championship website

next stump
#

yep found it here too

#

so it’s either one of two amounts based on previous years

#

$5000 since you’re under 18 or $1000 if they call MESA a tier 2 region

#

if you live in EU for example you’d get $5000 to attend worlds

waxen dock
#

they answered

#

lets see

waxen dock
#

and they said this

#

Hello ido,

Thank you for contacting Pokémon Support. In order to investigate this issue further, we will need to review the Pokémon Trainer Club (PTC) account settings on your account

#

but bro i only asked to know ta details in the clearest way possible

#

i didnt even say vgc instead i said vide game cahmpionship

next stump
#

I just checked twitter and it seems like they announced worlds stipend amounts in march

for last year

I finally decided to take a break from PTFK after a big drop in rating.

vernal shadow
#

Screens would probably be better if I wasn't gonna use an attack

waxen dock
#

but their support is just so annoying

#

i literally asked the question in the most clearest way that probabky even a player that doesnt understand pokemon can understand what i meant and they thought i had an issue

#

"hello, im a vide game championship player, currently first place in my region leaderboard, and you guys said in the pokemon championship website that there will be a ravel award for my region(middle east and south africa) can you guys tell me how many players from each age division get the world championship travel award in vgc in the middle east south africa region?"

that was what i said do you think its clear what i meant?

Little ironic after him saying he wouldn't likely qualify for worlds to do it instantly after

i know he won't be going to worlds anyways but

#

it feels right that he earned the right to go anyways

#

do we know what team he used?

real prairie

we do not

latent ember
#

ahhh tragic

#

i wonder if it was something generic or something wacky

#

you never quite know with him

real prairie
#

he might go to worlds, maybe him being vocal about the issues means PKMN actually safeguard

real prairie
#

especially at worlds where everyone is an equal competitor

latent ember
#

he said something along the lines of "if i show up to this worlds and have another bad experience, i know i'll never want to show up to one ever again"

#

im pretty confident he'll commit to taking this year off

real prairie
#

yeah i remember, my point was there is a long time for the organisers to fix their issues

Undisputably so.

There was some kind of debate about the best in Reg H, right?

Champions can't come soon enough man let us play megas already LOL

Rain vs balance

But now its 100% balance

stone trellis

I meant individual Pokemon.

foggy lodge
#

Oh

#

Ehh Flutter is broken

#

I think its urshifu

stone trellis
#

Yeah, but the entire game basically comes down to who can take the other's Bolt down first.

#

And Bolt shreds Shifu anyway, so...

foggy lodge

I don't

#

I keep my opp's raging bolts alive struggling themselves to death

#

And I kill the other slots lol

But yeah Raging Bolt could be the best mon

#

Lando I too

stone trellis

Imagine a trio of these.

Lando and Bolt pin opposing Bolts.

And someone could run Thunder over Thunderbolt in rain for the extra damage + the para chance.

Heatran is a thing in this reg right

It got second at Liverpool but I have seen one Heatran in my whole laddering

Like why does dude have 145 attack, stab prio, 120 base stab signature move and a signature ability that stops it from being burnt

Its annoying for Incin Rilla Bolt

Its beatable but its annoying

Oh wait thermal exchange is only damaging moves?

My side wisp did not work

Unfortunate

#

Thermal Exchange is super good though

foggy lodge
#

Well

#

It avoids burns from will o

#

I think it just avoids burn in general

But it doesn't give you the attack boost

You have to get hit by a fire move to get the atk boost

cyan smelt
#

why is ogerpon so good

#

i want to play reg f but idk if the team is good and i don't have the first clue about EVs

shadow wind
#

What does that have to do with playing

#

I've used that "suggested ev spread" button more times than I can count

cyan smelt
#

maybe i'll look up some evs from reg f part 1 teams

shadow wind
#

Usually those are hard to find

dense latch
#

go on vgc pastes and try and find some spreads i guess
or pikalytics tho idk how good that is anymore

#

most ev spreads dont have to be that crazy if you're just starting with a team

shadow wind
#

So to simplify how to make ev spreads

Step 1: Determine how that mon wants to be used i.e. support Volc
Step 2: Max/Max/Min i.e. Max HP Max Defense, bold 4 spdef
Step 3: Adjust accordingly, if you're missing some crucial KOs maybe switch some hp evs into spatk
Step 4: Actually calc, go into the calc and find some calcs that are close and perfect it
Step 5: Switch around your evs with different spreads and see which one is the best for you, there will never be a definitive best ev spread

#

That's how I make my spreads anyway

#

Oh and jump points I forgot about those

lofty tartan
#

Bumps?

shadow wind
#

Bumps, Jump points, rollovers, whatever you wanna call em

lofty tartan
#

Where you hit the threshold where a stat goes up by two instead of one- people refer to those as bumps

shadow wind
#

I've heard them call so many different things I just usually call em jump points

lofty tartan
#

Yeah everyone calls them bumps. I was just clarifying, because I've never heard them by any other name.

shadow wind
#

Oh really?

#

Interesting

dense latch
#

i've heard jump points and ev bumps

Yeah. I coached with CloverBells too, and he explained them all to me

what's important is that they're pretty cool

what's not cool is reg f articuno ruining my fun

Because the original team that Justin Knox created was Koraidon Indeedee-F Crown Venusaur Raging Bolt Chi-Yu

And then the NA group adapted it with Brute Bonnet and Flutter

Out of all the bad things a rerun can be

Reg G was the less evil imo lol

Reg H rerun was fine. Reg F rerun is fine. Reg G rerun was bleh.

What we need is like a Reg D rerun.

I never played Reg D

Was reg D the Harc format or was it reg E

I think E?

foggy lodge

Huh

lofty tartan

I think E was the Harc one.

foggy lodge
#

Weird how it popped off later

#

Cuz it was allowed in D

lofty tartan
#

It was just a different format for it. Not everything pops off in every format it's legal in because the environment is different.

#

It's like how Farigiraf is always legal but shines in high-powered formats, where it's almost completely absent in lower-powered ones.

I think we could've done a pretty cool format somewhere in between all that we've had - maybe like even just a no paradox, no Restricted format would've been neat.

But like why was the specific reason for that

Hmmmm

I'm guessing doing well into firepon

Not everything has a clearly definable reason. Especially in a game with such a large amount of variance and volatility.

Yeah see, a format without Paradoxes but with some smattering of Legends could've been neat enough

forces a tera or a worse lead for you to punish

lofty tartan

There's a lot of times, I feel, that you can lean with Crown and close with Drago. I've played that team too, and I played Regidrago teams before it and worked on some stuff with Grant W w/ Regidrago. I may just play differently arkeknine

#

Often you can just push Drago leads and be fine. Lots of people overcompensate in team preview

#

Play differently can also mean play badly arkeknine

#

I dunno. I just know I've closed a lot of games by pinning people into Dragon Energy. You sort of expect them to push Drago counters into your lead and Crown can help punish that. 👀

#

But I'm gonna go head to bed. I gotta be to work early in the AM xD

you kinda have to respect a drago lead and even if you get the call wrong i feel it’s not that hard to reposition with crown indeedee
