[molten oasis]

I wanna Zac plush but they’re super expensive

[shadow wind]

Although I feel like I remember seeing a non crowned Zama once

He's faster so it makes some sense

[foggy lodge]

I saw one with grassy seed

[sudden remnant]

so there might be hope for uncrowned zacian? 🥺

[foggy lodge]

But it didn't run a steel move so it was fully walled by ghost types lmfao

[shadow wind]

I mean he learns snarl and howl so he's a decent support guy

[shadow wind]

No cause Crowned is 20 stats stronger and 10 stats faster

Literally no point to ever not have crowned Zacian

[sudden remnant]

😔

[foggy lodge]

I remember that in smogon when Zacian got banned from OU people just started using the base form and then it also got banned lmfao

[shadow wind]

Yeah

For some reason Zama uncrowned is still in OU

[rustic mountain]

soon itll have 0

[shadow wind]

!!!!

[rustic mountain]

[shadow wind]

So excited

Groudon can finally be good again

[shadow wind]

I swear the red orb won't carry him

[foggy lodge]

So I can finally use scarf without feeling I'm using a common set because of tera electric!!!

[shadow wind]

He'd be better without tera anyway

252 SpA Flutter Mane Dazzling Gleam vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Assault Vest Koraidon: 136-168 (77.7 - 96%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

Excuse me?

[foggy lodge]

Tf lmfao

[shadow wind]

This is just a calc

[sudden remnant]

whats crazy is zacian-c defensive stats arent even that bad 🫠

[rustic mountain]

av korai sounds bad

[shadow wind]

It doesn't sound that bad

[foggy lodge]

Wait then it can survive a moonblast with some investment

[shadow wind]

252 SpA Flutter Mane Moonblast vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Assault Vest Koraidon: 228-268 (130.2 - 153.1%) -- guaranteed OHKO

I don't think so

[rustic mountain]

lmao

[shadow wind]

60 bp vs 95 bp

[rustic mountain]

as i said av korai sounds bad

[foggy lodge]

😔

[shadow wind]

252 SpA Flutter Mane Moonblast vs. 44 HP / 0 SpD Assault Vest Koraidon in Sun with an ally's Flower Gift: 148-180 (81.7 - 99.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

[foggy lodge]

You kinda need protect on Koraidon

[shadow wind]

Trust

[sudden remnant]

a shame korai doesnt get knock off

[shadow wind]

Not a shame

"It's such a shame CIR doesn't have 200 base atk" Please no

These mons are already way overtuned

[foggy lodge]

I rememebe the banded Korai bait

[shadow wind]

For sure bait

[sudden remnant]

isnt lorb boost higher than band boost anyways? i could be crazy

[foggy lodge]

No never

[shadow wind]

1.3x is not in fact higher than 1.5x

[foggy lodge]

Lorb is 30% band is 50%

[rustic mountain]

band has to be higher damage, ur lockin in 1 move

thats the trade off

life orb, u lose some health for the damage increase but can still swap ur moves

[shadow wind]

Tell that to Lando

[foggy lodge]

And that's why clam Harc >>> band Harc

[shadow wind]

Clam = Band IF you're -1

Damage wise

[rustic mountain]

idt thats tru

[shadow wind]

If you're getting intimidated more than once and don't have set up clam is always more worth

[shadow wind]

No like the numbers are the same

[rustic mountain]

band at -1 should still b slightly higher

[shadow wind]

Sometimes rounded badly

[rustic mountain]

really?

[shadow wind]

0 Atk Orichalcum Pulse Koraidon Flare Blitz vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Flutter Mane in Sun: 187-220 (142.7 - 167.9%) -- guaranteed OHKO

-1 0 Atk Choice Band Orichalcum Pulse Koraidon Flare Blitz vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Flutter Mane in Sun: 187-220 (142.7 - 167.9%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Just how the math works yeah

[rustic mountain]

weirdge

[foggy lodge]

But anyways

4 days for the champions release date,,,

[forest arrow]

Days almost over

[sudden remnant]

I really hope it’s soon

[forest arrow]

You can say 3

[foggy lodge]

Idk where would it release

It either releases in march or it releases in like july

Its or super near or super far

[forest arrow]

shadowdrops Friday

[foggy lodge]

Don't say that

[forest arrow]

Haha my guess is March with the regulation announcement

[foggy lodge]

The more we hope for the shadowdrop the less likely it releases

Also I think with how dates are rn

If we don't go to champions in april I think they will just announce the new regulation on the presents

"new" because if we don't switch to champions by april it will just be a rerun

[forest arrow]

another reg of sv and im done for a bit

[sudden remnant]

ill take anything but I or F please hell gimme back reg H

[foggy lodge]

no never again

[forest arrow]

no pls no

Not a third time

[foggy lodge]

Laic was condemned to play reg H two times

[forest arrow]

Give us C

[foggy lodge]

Reg H is my biggest enemy

[sudden remnant]

OH TRUEEEEEE

[forest arrow]

I may consider playing if that was the case

[sudden remnant]

i dont think theyd do that cuz wasnt C regional dex+the treasures

before home compatibility

[forest arrow]

Yeah no dlc moves

[dense latch]

barely got through this reg f i dont think im touching another rerun

[foggy lodge]

Reg C would have to either ban the DLC moves or make them available creating a new meta

[forest arrow]

but come on it’s reg F

Never was fun to begin with lol

[sudden remnant]

https://tenor.com/view/sparxie-hsr-true-sparkle-truth-nuke-gif-6887006904353966749

[forest arrow]

Yeah that’s what I was thinking, do you exclude them or allow them to see play

[sudden remnant]

genuine question why does meowscarada learn grassy terrain by level up

what could possibly be the reason

[foggy lodge]

So it can pretend its as good as Rilla

[sudden remnant]

support meowscarada trust

[foggy lodge]

I watched a Meowscarada miss a KO on a tera ghost SNEASLER on stream

That's where I understood Meowscarada was a fraud

[sudden remnant]

could be a build issue

[foggy lodge]

No it wasn't it was 252 atk sash

[sudden remnant]

Meowscarada was prime Von in regs A and B and had the fall off of the century (hey that sounds familiar almost like ….Zacian)

[foggy lodge]

To say it had a fall it would have needed to have a big moment

[sudden remnant]

meow was goated in the first couple Regs

or rather flower trick specifically was what was so goated

a move that always crits hey havent we been here before 😭

[foggy lodge]

It was pretty good in reg A

By reg B it was already eh and by reg C it totally died

[sudden remnant]

i know it was so sad bro

[sudden remnant]

lightning mcqueen losing the jackson storm type shit

[foggy lodge]

Flower trick is super cool

[next stump]

it was one of like three dondozo answers in the beginning

[foggy lodge]

I like moves that have secured crits

Yeah if Dozo exists we kinda need moves that secure crits ngl lol

[next stump]

you had haze murkrow, meowscarada, and maybe like freeze dry bundle

that's all i remember handling it decently

amoonguss as always

[sudden remnant]

and in reg H meow does uh, something, it doesnt do it well unfortunately for me

my tera steel meow how i miss you so

idk why i picked steel but it was to deal with smthn with tera steel tera blast

wtf was it

i cant remember its cooked

[shadow wind]

I never got to witness Reg A

Y'all talk about it like the glory days

[sudden remnant]

it lowkey was

[rustic mountain]

kinda has to be haha if the format is ending by april

[shadow wind]

I started in F and that was for like 2 weeks then it changed to G

Reg Groudon 🙏

[rustic mountain]

wat would u do if u couldnt mention groudon for 1 day

[sudden remnant]

probably evaporate

[shadow wind]

I'd be fine

[rustic mountain]

this would b u ^

[shadow wind]

Mention doesn't mean I won't think of him

[rustic mountain]

no nothing groudon related

thinking, building a team, playing it, talkin about it

[shadow wind]

Did that for like a month

[rustic mountain]

[shadow wind]

Came back stronger

[rustic mountain]

lmfao

[shadow wind]

It was like middish December to middish January

VGC just wasn't even in my mind

[sudden remnant]

how did you survive before groudon was legal

[foggy lodge]

I also started in F

[shadow wind]

Don't know if you can call it surviving because I had a 56 gxe

[foggy lodge]

I remember my team was Incin Rilla Bolt Lando-I Wellspring Flutter

[foggy lodge]

Condemned from the start to play balance

[sudden remnant]

cant relate

[shadow wind]

My team was Hands, Grimmsnarl, Sinistcha and then I forget the other 3

Could probably find it if I went on my switch

[foggy lodge]

But then I became cool and started using Koraidon and Umbreon and Ditto and Venusaur and Volcarona

[sudden remnant]

UMBEEEEEEEEEE

[shadow wind]

Ditto is anything BUT cool

Bro is the gimmick merchant

[sudden remnant]

https://tenor.com/view/umbreon-pokemon-yawn-gif-8098583

[shadow wind]

Bro why am I such a restricted format clown

Only under 60 in F

[foggy lodge]

NAH

Ditto is one of the coolest ones

Yeah he is cool only because he stops being Ditto and turns into something else

[sudden remnant]

not even my favorite eeveelution either

[shadow wind]

Hard disagree

[foggy lodge]

But its still cool

[shadow wind]

Not true

[foggy lodge]

I yoink your Groudon fuck you

[sudden remnant]

with noticeably less hp

[shadow wind]

Bro wants to be a leech

Just say you can't pick a 6th mon

[foggy lodge]

You are gonna tera fire and then I'm gonna yoink your Groudon and pblade it cuz I don't miss my moves

[shadow wind]

Thank goodness I have wake for this exact mu

And a couple other ones

Wake is the duct tape holding my team together

[foggy lodge]

https://pokepast.es/27b9fa93673eceb4

[shadow wind]

Farigiraf is begging to be on the team

[foggy lodge]

Why I can just yoink the Giraffe on the mirror!!!

[shadow wind]

And then they lead CSR and Incin and you are fried

[foggy lodge]

The only thing that kinda sucks is that Hands is forced to use volt switch here

But its fine cuz it adds another way of rotation for eterrain too

[shadow wind]

But without Farig it means less

Cause Rillaboom then still has fake out

Ditto is just so inconsistent I don't think it's ever the best in slot

[foggy lodge]

Yeah but the mons to solve balance here are actually Volcarona and Grimmsnarl

I think deadass against balance you can just not pick Miraidon

I remember doing that often

[shadow wind]

😭

[foggy lodge]

Playing with like Volcarona Grimmsnarl Ditto

[shadow wind]

If you aren't bringing your restricted every time there's an issue

[foggy lodge]

No but its only against balance

Don't worry I got this

[shadow wind]

Hmm whatever floats your boat

I won't yuck your yum

[foggy lodge]

https://tenor.com/view/ditto-pokemon-anime-happy-dance-gif-16360307322388566092

Tho tbh I didn't build the team its Joseph Ugarte's team

I was counting pixels of his HP bars from stream to get the EVs

[shadow wind]

Crazy work

I just make my own teams

Cause there was always something off about the Groudon teams people used

The only one I ever considered using was the Portland one

[foggy lodge]

When I played Groudon I also stole teams😔

[shadow wind]

Stole all 4 teams ever used

[sudden remnant]

im sorry what

[shadow wind]

Some people need to know the evs

Me personally? I just play with the sliders a little bit

[sudden remnant]

lowkey the mf who put 67 evs in all of their ursalunas stats is the type of troll i aspire to be

[shadow wind]

My ev spreads are usually so trash lowkey

They do like 1 job

[sudden remnant]

i just have paul do most of my important evs

like the wellspring ogerpon i used in the gc

[shadow wind]

Ogerpon-Hearthflame (F) @ Hearthflame Mask
Ability: Mold Breaker
Level: 50
Tera Type: Fire
EVs: 188 HP / 76 Atk / 108 Def / 124 SpD / 12 Spe

• Ivy Cudgel

This is the spread I made

I think it lives 252 modest sharp beak bleakwind

252+ SpA Sharp Beak Tornadus Bleakwind Storm vs. 188 HP / 124 SpD Ogerpon-Hearthflame: 150-176 (83.7 - 98.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

Knew it

[sudden remnant]

60 hp 228 atk 28 def 4spD 188 spe

[shadow wind]

What does it do?

[sudden remnant]

lives

and nukes waterfu immediately with horn leech

[shadow wind]

I'm doubting the living part

All things considered that's a pretty frail Oger

[sudden remnant]

trust me it lived what I needed it to

[shadow wind]

252+ SpA Beads of Ruin Chi-Yu Overheat vs. 188 HP / 124 SpD Ogerpon-Hearthflame: 153-180 (85.4 - 100.5%) -- 6.3% chance to OHKO

Dang I gotta fix my set because of this

We are not changing anything 😭

Infinitely lazy about changing sets nowadays

[solid frigate]

Speed is nice but it’s really frail

Drop to 76 attack with adamant nature and you are fine

Put it on HP ffs

[shadow wind]

I mean if it works it works but that would also be my advice

[sudden remnant]

she lived what i needed her to

goatpon does her job wonderfully

also my peli was not dying to jack shit lmao

[foggy lodge]

I wish I could also come up with weird spreads

[shadow wind]

My spreads aren't weird 😔

[sudden remnant]

my peli had 252 hp 20 SpA and 236 spD

lmao

[foggy lodge]

They are cool when you use them you can win a lot of games off of living certain hits you are not supposed to live

[shadow wind]

252+ SpA Mystic Water Tera Water Kyogre Water Spout (150 BP) vs. 132 HP / 252 SpD Groudon in Sun: 156-188 (81.2 - 97.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery

Big fan that I get to live this...

[sudden remnant]

in sun…. just barely

[shadow wind]

My goat lives everything

[sudden remnant]

🤨

[shadow wind]

252+ SpA Choice Specs Hadron Engine Miraidon Draco Meteor vs. 132 HP / 252 SpD Groudon: 211-250 (109.8 - 130.2%) -- guaranteed OHKO

[sudden remnant]

taking 97% from a water move in sun says otherwise 😭

[shadow wind]

Thanks Miraidon

[foggy lodge]

Its a 150 BP move coming from a 150 spa water type with tera water and a water boosting item

[shadow wind]

And this is why we run snarl on scarf Miraidon !

[foggy lodge]

I'm gonna yoink your scarf Miraidon and snarl you back

[sudden remnant]

miraidon is an opp bro i swear

[foggy lodge]

https://tenor.com/view/ditto-pokemon-anime-happy-dance-gif-16360307322388566092

[sudden remnant]

trick? switcheroo? magician?

thief?

[shadow wind]

On no my snarl bot is doing 17% instead of 23%

[sudden remnant]

lmao

[shadow wind]

Miraidon is Groudons strongest snarl bot

[sudden remnant]

you could have ended the sentence at “miraidon is **** strongest”

and it would still be true

[shadow wind]

Didn't even win worlds last year

So like lowkey MiraiFraudon

[sudden remnant]

might be a skill issue

or koraidon is just genuinely the sleeper bike

[foggy lodge]

Ability shield Koraidon should have won

[shadow wind]

What a stupid top 3

[sudden remnant]

shout out to the mf that brought a totodile

[shadow wind]

But looking at these teams like yeah absolutely team 1 won

Ursaluna is messed up

[strange fjord]

I like Bloodmoon Ursaluna but it's not as consistent as regular Ursaluna unfortunately.

[shadow wind]

Spore victim

[strange fjord]

Time to Flame Orb Bloodmoon Bear

[shadow wind]

This guy knows what's up

[sudden remnant]

electric terrain can help with that tho

[shadow wind]

So could safety goggles or follow me + goggles/vital spirit

[sudden remnant]

as could misty terrain but who tf is using weezing for anything other than neutralizing gas

[shadow wind]

But it's another layer that the original doesn't require

[strange fjord]

I'll just run Toxic Orb instead to be force to lock in even harder.

[sudden remnant]

what about a sticky barb

not the item i meant wtf

poison barb?

too much thinking for one day

[strange fjord]

Poison Barb just increases damage to Poison type moves iirc

[sudden remnant]

wtf am i thinking of

nvm it doesnt matter

[shadow wind]

I need to figure out how decay works

[sudden remnant]

decay???

[shadow wind]

Ladder decay

If you don't play for it's like 2 days your elo goes down

[foggy lodge]

To mantain the VGC addiction

[shadow wind]

Of course

I have a standard to uphold

If I'm not top 30 on the ladder who even am I?

The answer is that I'm still me !

A ladder position does not define who I am !

[foggy lodge]

I need to know how you survive in bo1 Connee

[shadow wind]

I have fun

[foggy lodge]

Once champions releases we have to join forces

[sudden remnant]

i hate bo3 i dont have the skill to hide important tricks for rounds 2 and 3

[shadow wind]

I don't play it cause I have to

I just enjoy vgc

[shadow wind]

I think Paul said that him and I needed to teambuild at some point too but lowkey I'm pretty independent

[sudden remnant]

thats an odd way to spell groudon

[shadow wind]

Thank you my goat

So you mean I have to play more than 5 games

Aw man

It's stressful

[foggy lodge]

Then it will be a competition to see who does better in champions ladder

[dense latch]

i need champions so bad

[shadow wind]

We all do

[foggy lodge]

:truthnuke:

[shadow wind]

I mean if I'm having fun I won't really care about my ladder spot

[sudden remnant]

yall see what i cook when im left to my own devices paul helps me a lot. otherwise i would actually be running shit like wild charge koraidon

[strange fjord]

Mega Drampa gonna be my goat for Champions

[dense latch]

i hope i actually cook something decent with megas

[shadow wind]

I hope I actually cook

[foggy lodge]

I hope I actually

[strange fjord]

i

https://tenor.com/view/green-alien-cat-green-alien-cat-meme-cat-rage-meme-angry-alien-cat-gif-16978295465898295971

[dense latch]

i hope i

[sudden remnant]

kooc yllautca i epoh i

[dense latch]

‎

[foggy lodge]

But anyways

I'm gonna try to use double mega on champions

Tho it can be hard on start cuz like I think double mega becomes stronger when you know the meta and how you approach MUs with each mega

[shadow wind]

I just about lost to perish trap

In the big Reg I

[foggy lodge]

how lmao

[shadow wind]

Whatchu mean how

[foggy lodge]

Send the replay

[shadow wind]

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2026regi-2545928902

The specs Flutter caught me off guard

[foggy lodge]

Hell nah it's a chinese account

[shadow wind]

Yeah

"Thank you for the points !" I say as I won because they didn't click trick room

Yknow I'm fine with losing 1 point of elo

It's crazy how that person was top 100 and I only get +16

(+16 is the highest gain I've seen in years)

[dense latch]

one loss and it's wraps

-137 elo

[foggy lodge]

You won because of the speed drop man LMAO

[shadow wind]

Correct !

That's why if they set up tr I lost

[dense latch]

high ladder is some stressful shit

[foggy lodge]

It probably doesn't have TR

[shadow wind]

It might not no

But usually they do

[foggy lodge]

It probably is like protect fake out psychic taunt

[shadow wind]

Yes !

Once I realized I was slower I started popping off though

Turn 6 I realized it

[foggy lodge]

Yeah and you were unlucky with the pblades miss

[shadow wind]

Probably killed?

[foggy lodge]

It was at -2 def yeah it would have killed

[shadow wind]

Depends on the Korai

If it was max max yeah

76+ Atk Tera Fire Groudon Precipice Blades vs. -2 0 HP / 4 Def Koraidon: 147-174 (84 - 99.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

So with lorb chip yeah it kills

Man I just love vgc

That game was stressful though

I thought I lost after I missed

[dense latch]

im surprised it doesnt ohko

[shadow wind]

My Groudon is ultra weak

[dense latch]

ig im not super familiar with groudon calcs

[shadow wind]

Pblades is technically a 90 bp move too

So it's not crazy

[foggy lodge]

when i've used groudon it has been almost max attack

[shadow wind]

Koraidon has decent physical bulk

100/115/100 is nothing to scoff at

It's not crazy either but it can take a hit

[sudden remnant]

why did they double protect turn 3

[shadow wind]

Fake out

[foggy lodge]

Burn fake out

[sudden remnant]

ah

i forgot iron hands just gets fake out

makes sense with the palms bigger than an average human head

[shadow wind]

That's bros entire job 😭

[foggy lodge]

Liar use swords dance Hands be evil

[shadow wind]

Also you guys like that smooth heat crash because the most obvious disable is coming

[dense latch]

real ones use belly drum iron hands to punish double tect

[shadow wind]

If they didn't disable I actually probably lost

[foggy lodge]

Yeah you played well around the disable

[sudden remnant]

first step is getting me to use hands when i have rairai

[dense latch]

i did like it a lot

[shadow wind]

They could've encored the fake out and I probably lose

[molten oasis]

https://pokepast.es/84035f958b4b7ecc so you brought that core up a bit ago you think this could work ok?

Mirai should be electric and snarl not gleam oops

[shadow wind]

Ursa really only needs 3 moves

[molten oasis]

Ong (idk what 4th move to do)

[shadow wind]

Is hyper voice a bit weird for the Farig there?

[dense latch]

eq feels really hard to justify

[molten oasis]

Was restricted formats psychic Fari?

[dense latch]

yea

[foggy lodge]

Yeah

[molten oasis]

Oops my bad

[shadow wind]

Usually yeah

[molten oasis]

I remembered foul play but not psychic ig

[shadow wind]

Some psychic noises to prevent Leech seed bot CIR and drain punch Hands

[sudden remnant]

so is flutter just supposed to survive eterrain boosted volt switch

[shadow wind]

But yeah usually it's foul play and psychic

[shadow wind]

Yeah it's specially bulky

[dense latch]

flutter is surprisingly bulky specially

[molten oasis]

Flutter be like that

[foggy lodge]

I kinda want wide guard here ngl

[shadow wind]

I was pretty surprised when it lived though

[foggy lodge]

Cuz it helps for the Ursa vs CIR games

[shadow wind]

196+ SpA Hadron Engine Tera Electric Miraidon Volt Switch vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Flutter Mane in Electric Terrain: 118-140 (90 - 106.8%) -- 37.5% chance to OHKO

[foggy lodge]

Oh it was a min roll lmao

[shadow wind]

So either I ultra low rolled or they had some invest

[dense latch]

there's very little things i hated more than playing vs the fedecampo team with cir

[molten oasis]

So peli.

[foggy lodge]

But it didn't change stuff so

[sudden remnant]

okay that makes a lot more sense

[shadow wind]

It would've been nice to ohko but whatever

Oh wait it wasn't even specs

[molten oasis]

Cuz what other wide guard options do I realistically have lol

[foggy lodge]

It was probably a sash flutter anyways

[foggy lodge]

Valiant

[shadow wind]

How did it do so much to my Farig?

[molten oasis]

RIGHT

[shadow wind]

252 SpA Flutter Mane Moonblast vs. 236 HP / 108 SpD Farigiraf: 97-115 (43.1 - 51.1%) -- 4.7% chance to 2HKO

Actually that makes sense

[foggy lodge]

Actually

With Valiant I think you could use something different to scarf

[shadow wind]

AV?

[foggy lodge]

AV still helps into Zama CSR

And you get coaching for Zac

[shadow wind]

And I don't think you need dgleam

[dense latch]

i've never seen scarf tera fairy gleam

[sudden remnant]

MY GOAT VALIANT MENTIONED

[shadow wind]

Yeah me neither actually

[foggy lodge]

And deadass run special Valiant with aura sphere

[molten oasis]

Typo

[foggy lodge]

For Zamazenta

[molten oasis]

For incin too

Ok bet

[foggy lodge]

I tell you see

[shadow wind]

Scarf is like 100% electric

[dense latch]

is it tera fairy but no dgleam or not tera fairy but gleam

[foggy lodge]

I'm the best teambuilder ever

[molten oasis]

Valiant over, what

[foggy lodge]

Pao

[molten oasis]

Pao?

[shadow wind]

Gotta be pao

You don't want spinner anyway

[sudden remnant]

whats this talk about using valiant im very interested

[shadow wind]

Also gives you the sash

[molten oasis]

Zac Mirai valiant

[foggy lodge]

Or Hearthflame I think but Pao doesn't close the team too much for me considering there's Farig Ursa and Miraidon + Zac + Pao can become too frail

[sudden remnant]

now im DEFINITELY listening

[shadow wind]

Hearthflame + Val also clowns on some mons

Coaching hearthflame into CIR is always funny

[molten oasis]

Okay so

[sudden remnant]

ogerpon clowns on a lot of mons all on her lonesome

[shadow wind]

Not true in a restricted format

[molten oasis]

Aura sphere wide guard coaching

Icy wind or twave?

[foggy lodge]

Encore

[dense latch]

classic four moveslot syndrome

[molten oasis]

No speed control?

[shadow wind]

Also what's with the super sonic Oger?

[foggy lodge]

Helps into balance

[molten oasis]

Fair

[foggy lodge]

Encore the CSR or the fake out

But icy wind is usable too

[sudden remnant]

valiant is a major victim of 4slot syndrome its painful

[molten oasis]

Sash?

[dense latch]

yea sash

[shadow wind]

Absolutely

It's why Pao is a good sacrifice

[dense latch]

booster isn't that bad tho

if you think you're gonna have it without eterrain in multiple scenarios

[shadow wind]

Also I'd drop the Ogers speed to make it more tr friendly

[dense latch]

think csr balance with rilla that could get kinda tricky

[molten oasis]

I assume my game plan into korai is hearth Fari Mirai Ursa and then I sack hearth probably

[shadow wind]

Cause your team is going to have a single tr mon that isn't Farig

Into Korai Flutter yeah

[molten oasis]

There’s a giant bear lol

[shadow wind]

Hard to have a lead into that

[shadow wind]

And if either your Giraffe or bear die now you have tr fodder on the field

[molten oasis]

True

[shadow wind]

Having at least 3 mons on your team be functional in tr is very helpful

[molten oasis]

Uhhh, ghost valiant?

[shadow wind]

Usually yeah

[molten oasis]

Av Mirai are kinda slow I thought

[shadow wind]

Slow Miraidon is still above 170 speed

Never should a Miraidon be slower than Lando

[molten oasis]

Hm, could play the hella bulky Hearthflame

[shadow wind]

Sub Ursa is... something

[molten oasis]

Curse

[shadow wind]

Curse is funny

[foggy lodge]

You could also drop encore on Valiant for spirit break cuz spirit also creates some pins into tera dark CSR with snarl Miraidon

[rustic mountain]

leonard craft got like top 30 in the gc w/ fling mball ursa

[molten oasis]

Yeah that was funny

[shadow wind]

And all 67 evs

[molten oasis]

Hmmmm

[foggy lodge]

I love it because the Ursa set there is so bad that it just makes it impossible to justify bringing it to any match

I saw someone say it's like how vikings burned their boats before fights lmfao

[rustic mountain]

right lol

[molten oasis]

Anyone got an av Mirai spread?

[shadow wind]

But it is the fear factor

[molten oasis]

Or a Fari spread?

[molten oasis]

Borrowing this thx

[gentle crag]

drayagedrago has given 1 Gen Rep to connertep

[foggy lodge]

It also sucks how its bo1 so you still have to respect the Ursa Cress mode in team preview lmao

[molten oasis]

Mk

https://pokepast.es/abbd5e396eb3c0bb gang

[shadow wind]

It's like the my second least thought spread on the team

[molten oasis]

We got smth

[shadow wind]

Tera ghost Val

By the way that Oger lives 252 modest sharp beak bleakwind from Torn !

Sad that that's the only calc I know about that Oger 😔

Drago if you're going to play you should let me watch

[molten oasis]

Bet, not playing this second

[shadow wind]

Oh my days he has aura

[foggy lodge]

I love this stuff

They actually put effort into this things

[shadow wind]

If only they put effort into games

[foggy lodge]

😔

[shadow wind]

Why does his have to be good 😭

[foggy lodge]

Idk man

He doesn't deserve it

[shadow wind]

Definitely not

[shadow wind]

Wait that's kinda fire

[shadow wind]

Hold up

[foggy lodge]

I like that the Regis have their points on the number

[shadow wind]

Why is Groudons lame

It's just red

Give him the sun atleast 😭

Rioting

[foggy lodge]

You get a slight bright that resembles sun

[shadow wind]

Kyogre also gets the light

[foggy lodge]

lmfao you got nothing then

[shadow wind]

What the heck

[foggy lodge]

But I think the legendaries' logos kinda sucked

[shadow wind]

Terapagos has a cool one

[foggy lodge]

Lunala also got a purole 3 and that's it

[molten oasis]

Wait that’s gas

[molten oasis]

I like these

[shadow wind]

Solgaleo got shafted

[forest arrow]

We see the fit Annihilape

[shadow wind]

Close ya mouth

[molten oasis]

Lmao

[molten oasis]

hits you with rage fist

[shadow wind]

Like Groudon and Kyogre could've gotten the Omega and Alpha

[foggy lodge]

Why did the Voltorb line got some of the best ones

[shadow wind]

Hold up that's fire

[molten oasis]

That’s awesome

[foggy lodge]

30 years of being useless until they had to become a 0

[forest arrow]

Being a 0 you’re whole life pays off eventually

[shadow wind]

I'm 1 win away from being on the front page of the Reg I ladder

Aka 16th

[foggy lodge]

C'mon Conner you can do it

[shadow wind]

😔

The stress is a lot

[foggy lodge]

Yes but who would be remembered

[shadow wind]

And you shouldn't queue if you aren't queueing to win

[foggy lodge]

The person in top 20

[shadow wind]

Currently queueing to not lose is what I'd be doing

[foggy lodge]

Or the person in the front page

[shadow wind]

Big difference

Nobody even knows who I am when I'm not on an alt

[foggy lodge]

Its wait

[shadow wind]

Which is ironic

[shadow wind]

Oh nah

That image has done irreparable damage to my mindset

[foggy lodge]

This image is just to cause psychological damage

[shadow wind]

And after that last game I don't know if I got that dog in me

[foggy lodge]

Maybe tomorrow

[shadow wind]

Always tomorrow and never today !

[foggy lodge]

!!!

[shadow wind]

But am I not the same man

I AM

I AM THE SAME MAN

God like up pair by the way

I got 23 elo from that

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2026regi-2545953133-jjr538lj1ilklfi0ky351juumhbylswpw

Lowkey had a heart attack on the last turn

[foggy lodge]

LETS GO CONNER

[shadow wind]

Hold up someone decayed

Climbing without putting in anymore effort

Thank you Reg I ladder

About to ask pizza if I can submit this game

So then I have a 1662 replay on munchteams

When the highest public game on there is 1575

Sorry the highest rated public game is 1598

The highest rated public Groudon game is 1575

[foggy lodge]

oh man the crit LMAO

[shadow wind]

Yeah

Not a fan of that

[foggy lodge]

I think the only missplay was the double up into Calyrex tbh

[shadow wind]

I was scared

I should've bulked up there

[foggy lodge]

Yeah

[shadow wind]

Cause obviously wake is faster

I knew he was protecting too

But I couldn't go for the Zama and have that protect and then I lose

Or miss a draco

But yeah no matter what I kill with wake

So I should've bulked up

[foggy lodge]

It was good to cover most scenarios

[shadow wind]

Not sure how Wake would've died

But just in case I guess

Aw man I'm 13th again 😔

The Umpire is a great player

[foggy lodge]

Its still fine

[shadow wind]

He's consistently at 80 gxe which I could never

[foggy lodge]

Wild

[shadow wind]

A big reason why I won is because I knew his sets

[foggy lodge]

There's layers to the reg I grinding

[shadow wind]

But he also knew mine so it was even

It's av pao

Only reason the turn 1 was what it was

[foggy lodge]

Yeah its the same team from worlds right?

[shadow wind]

Uhhh

[foggy lodge]

The Pao lives tera electric volt switch

[shadow wind]

Not sure

[foggy lodge]

But it doesn't live it with a HH obviously

[shadow wind]

https://pokepast.es/40961fd89ac69518

Yeah I think it is this one

That encore has fried me many a time

[strange fjord]

itll be up tomorrow. promise

[shadow wind]

Even if it isn't public from both players?

[strange fjord]

oh its a private one?

[shadow wind]

From their side yes

[strange fjord]

hmmm

[shadow wind]

I always have my lobbies open

But looking at my replays I don't see it

Most recent are just lower elo games

But when I click private I do see it

[strange fjord]

Hmm dang. gimme a minute to look something up

Nah, I don't wanna go against showdown's policy on Private replays become basically public.

[shadow wind]

Valid

Sharing it with you guys is definitely different than posting it on a data site

So yeah I wouldn't push it

I don't think I've ever seen someone use /hidereplay

[foggy lodge]

I just discovered you can do that

I also have the don't allow spectators lol

[shadow wind]

I always have spectators off

I'm here to entertain

[foggy lodge]

But its just because I hate when people start inviting their friends to their matches and they start to say dumb stuff in the chat

[dense latch]

i've gotten ppl joining into my testing games with a friend

[shadow wind]

I love interacting with people in the chat

It's so funny

Cause why are these people so serious over pokemon 😭

[dense latch]

i forget to turn spectators off for those and then we're stuck with some guy seeing us chat privately

[foggy lodge]

Its cool talking when your opponent's chill but I've already had people taking it way too seriously lol

So at most I say ggs in the chat

unless its the room tours cuz people on room tours are chill

[shadow wind]

I be doing this kind of stuff

Or I'm ragebaiting

But never insulting them

[foggy lodge]

I once had someone say I'm a lucky player because I didn't tera my Dragonite in front of a Dondozo with order up

My Dragonite lived even the crit order up btw

[shadow wind]

I love when people call me lucky

Cause I know I be missing

[foggy lodge]

I've had people say I'm lucky because I'm connecting sandsear wuajwjwjdkd

[shadow wind]

But maybe they're just having a bad day

So I never push it too far

Sometimes I'll chirp and say some stupid one liners but that's just how competition is to me

Growing up playing hockey does interesting stuff to the perception of sport

[dense latch]

some ppl have dm'd me after beating me in a bo1 just to keep shit talking

[shadow wind]

That's crazy stuff

[dense latch]

not trying to generalize but they've always been dozo players

[foggy lodge]

Today I had a Dozo player say that I had the perfect counter and I only won because of it

[shadow wind]

😭

[foggy lodge]

The MU wasn't even that good btw

[shadow wind]

"Not saying it's the dozo players, but it's the dozo players"

[foggy lodge]

The only way the MU is in my advantage is if twave paras their Dozo

And I twaves it and it didn't paralyze once

[shadow wind]

Twave...

Judging from a far

Also can we just take a second

Ladder blessed me

[dense latch]

if you play dozo you have to accept that there's gonna be multiple games you're gonna get haxed

[shadow wind]

An UP PAIR??? While in the top 20????

[dense latch]

when a pokemon gets doubled for 6 or one more than 6 turns it has to happen at some point

[shadow wind]

It's like christmas but better !

[shadow wind]

Or screens

I wish more people built more teams

[foggy lodge]

And the funniest part

[shadow wind]

I like seeing different teams

[foggy lodge]

I beated them already like 2 weeks ago with another team

[shadow wind]

Wait do you guys remember when that guy dm'ed me saying I watched him play too much

[foggy lodge]

And when I beated them again was with a team I had 3 games of practice before

[dense latch]

i think i do

[shadow wind]

Found it

[dense latch]

yea i remember lmao

[shadow wind]

😭

[foggy lodge]

LMFAO

[dense latch]

main character syndrome

[foggy lodge]

Fr

[shadow wind]

Literally

Yo The Umpire on a roll

5th on ladder now

[foggy lodge]

"everyone is watching me play because I'm top 729 of the ladder..."

[shadow wind]

Bro is goated

I think The Umpire also won some award in some tournament server I'm in

[dense latch]

"the only reason my opponent won was because he strategically analysed my past games and defeated me with said information 🤓 ☝️ "

[shadow wind]

Hmm maybe not, I was thinking of a different guy

[dense latch]

how hard is it to admit you're ass

[shadow wind]

But I know he's been playing at least since I started

And he's been playing for 6 years

[dense latch]

it could be other formats too

[shadow wind]

I guess my account is 4 years old so it doesn't mean much

But he played vgc 2020

[dense latch]

mine is a bit over 5 years old

[foggy lodge]

Oh I also remember this guy that Shiliang reported because of disconnecting on cart ladder when they are about to lose

[dense latch]

oh ok

[foggy lodge]

I also beated them and they also disconnected lmao

[shadow wind]

Goat

[foggy lodge]

And they are a Zama CSR Dozogiri player

[shadow wind]

He's climbing right now so he didn't disconnect I guess

[shadow wind]

He was playing Mirai Zama when I played em

[molten oasis]

Eww

[shadow wind]

The AV Pao team

[dense latch]

that tracks

[shadow wind]

I feel like I seem them in the vgc chatrooms whenever I go there

[foggy lodge]

You know the addiction is real when even after a loss in the top 20 you keep playing to climb

[shadow wind]

He lost to me then another game then climbed back to top 5

So some respect for the grind

I also wish more people played with spectators on

Oh dang there's good battles going on today

1300 soft cap 😔

[dense latch]

when i'd get on high ladder i'd just keep spectators on

[shadow wind]

It's fun when people join

[dense latch]

it was cool to see like 5 or 6 users sometimes

[shadow wind]

Yup

[dense latch]

room tours is where it's at

[shadow wind]

I'm no where near consistent enough for room tours

[dense latch]

10+ users

[foggy lodge]

I love room tours

They fill my VGC daily addiction without having to play ladder

[dense latch]

anytime my friend and I would win a room tour we'd say room tour W in our server just to keep track of them

[shadow wind]

I like my ladder games

[shadow wind]

That's sick

[dull ibex]

Hello

[foggy lodge]

I won one like 2 days ago

With the GC team that I kinda hated

[dense latch]

i remember i was ecstatic when i won my first room tour in like 2021

[shadow wind]

I guess my one replay today was 1532

Public replay*

[foggy lodge]

The team is fine but in bo1 feels bad cuz I'm using an established team in a CTS enviroment

[shadow wind]

Yeah that's why I like my team

It functions in and out of ots

[dense latch]

but when i played them consistently they felt pretty easy

[shadow wind]

Like I hit 80 gxe with it in ots bo3

But now I've hit top 20 with it in bo1 cts

It's by far my favourite team

[dense latch]

i might've won like 30 or so since reg g 1

[shadow wind]

Jeez

[rustic mountain]

[shadow wind]

Why is this what I gotta watch

I wanna watch at least 1300s gameplay

[rustic mountain]

i had fun winning quite a few room tours in swsh era

[dense latch]

it's less a testament of skill and more of how much i used to play like a year ago lmao

[foggy lodge]

I ran into one of these and I critted them with wild charge and I won turn 1

[shadow wind]

W

[shadow wind]

Maybe I undersell it a little bit but I do also think I'm very lucky

[dense latch]

they meant so much to me back in the day i have the replays of my room tour Ws bookmarked 😭

[shadow wind]

I just know how to not make stupid plays 90% of the time

[dense latch]

but it's been so long they're expired

[shadow wind]

Aw man

[dense latch]

i lost most of my teams too bc i switched laptops

aside from the ones i shared with my old teambuilding group

[rustic mountain]

yooo pog

i mightve saved 1 idk

but yea prolly expired

[shadow wind]

That's why I now have a teams google doc

[dense latch]

:(

[shadow wind]

So when my showdown starts running slow I just transfer them all

[molten oasis]

What???

[dense latch]

i'll try to find some funny team i built back in the day

i think i shared a few of my good teams on r/VGC

[shadow wind]

That's sick

[molten oasis]

Incin wasn’t enough

[dense latch]

the few members of that teambuilding group actually got really good in person results

one won seniors LAIC and got second at seniors worlds and another just top 4'd sydney

[shadow wind]

https://pokepast.es/c25e0deef4e91d25

Oldest team I've ever made

[dense latch]

meanwhile my biggest flex are ladder placements

[rustic mountain]

do u go to irls tho

[dense latch]

not yet

but i doubt i'd come close

[rustic mountain]

well there u go haha

i mean gta throw ur hat in the ring first

might need more reps, might surprise urself

[shadow wind]

Lowkey same

[foggy lodge]

If I save money I may go to Argentina next year and play their special event

[dense latch]

https://pokepast.es/d4fa554fa4f249af lol i actually built one sv team during my hiatus

[shadow wind]

I'm fine when I'm staring at my computer screen and can just throw away turns but if I need to make sure I actually win it'd be hard

[rustic mountain]

im hopin to hit some irls up wen champions hits

[dense latch]

rotom wash was a cope from my experience in swsh

[rustic mountain]

who knows how ill do lmao but wanna atleast give it a go

[shadow wind]

Same

At some point I do want to enter one

[foggy lodge]

I have to go to locals first too

[shadow wind]

I wish I had locals near me

[dense latch]

locals here are so stacked

[foggy lodge]

There's a lot of good people at my locals that have been open to help me

[shadow wind]

But I've complained about no locals more than I've needed to

[dense latch]

since almost all the good players live in the capital

watch me go to a regional and play kommander r1 renzo navarro r2 lmao

[foggy lodge]

Fr

[rustic mountain]

idk kommander but yea renzos good

[dense latch]

he won lima's last special event

[shadow wind]

I think I'm coming to the realization that I like vgc as a whole

Like even just watching games I'm so invested and just happy to watch

[rustic mountain]

id b surprised u played vgc if that wasnt the case

[dense latch]

top 8 at merida too and a few regional top 16s

[rustic mountain]

strong finishes

[shadow wind]

Hmm but I think when I hear other people talk about what they like about vgc it's usually the same couple of things

[rustic mountain]

?

[dense latch]

i like being competent at something

[shadow wind]

Lots of people just like battling or just like team building

[shadow wind]

Nah that's actually so true though

[dense latch]

i like getting attached to mons through vgc

shoutout regieleki and pult

[shadow wind]

It's fun caring

[molten oasis]

My first impression of a regional was NAIC

[rustic mountain]

most ppl good at vgc enjoy at as a whole otherwise they wouldnt b where they are

[molten oasis]

that was, very tough competition, and I still went positive

I’m hoping to do more in the future

[shadow wind]

Man sometimes I hate watching low elo though 😭

[rustic mountain]

u got guys literally doin data analytics for teambuilding

[foggy lodge]

Wait was Kommander's first ever tournament result a win lmao

[shadow wind]

Lowkey aura

[molten oasis]

Built different

[shadow wind]

Bro how is there 1 game above 1100

[molten oasis]

The background lmfao

[shadow wind]

Don't mind him

[foggy lodge]

Lmfao

[dense latch]

i feel like i would enjoy this

[shadow wind]

Lowkey I sometimes forget he's even there

I think I enjoy being invested in something this much

I know I say I'm barely trying sometimes but lowkey I try my hardest in every game 😔

[foggy lodge]

Fr

[rustic mountain]

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2026regf-2545237236-ryi3du0qws8rwvigup29spxo3tq95o2pw
here watch me come back from this absymal turn 1

[foggy lodge]

I like watching other people play and seeing other people play makes me want to play

I think that's just the biggest sign you like the game as a whole

[rustic mountain]

adi does it a lot

[dense latch]

i havent built a team in a while

in this format especially i've felt like there's not much to build

[foggy lodge]

I feel like there's already a lot of stuff figured out and idk if there's much evolution left after EUIC

[shadow wind]

Holy elo

That's why your the goat

Also I thought their shifu was sashed so I thought you had it in the bag

[dense latch]

i just feel like it's not like im gonna be the one to discover a new core and shit so i just play the meta

[shadow wind]

Then it did a billion

[shadow wind]

Last time I built a serious team was Reg I

When it was real

[dense latch]

same

[shadow wind]

Reg I is so much fun

[dense latch]

but rn i'm using the mdb team but with qd volc

volc is one of my favorite mons i've used in the sv era

[rustic mountain]

my gxe rn is trash haha i used arguably the worst team ive built in recent years and tanked to 1300s

[shadow wind]

Happens

[rustic mountain]

atleast on that acc, my other alt in top 500 is 76%

[shadow wind]

Don't let your gxe control you !

[dense latch]

fwiw that's a crazy comeback

[rustic mountain]

yea u know me, always goin off gxe

[rustic mountain]

lmao after t1 i was like damn wat do i even do

[shadow wind]

Tinkaton is fire

He got a 1 in like 30 right so like whatever

[rustic mountain]

pauls right sometimes u just gta do shit and see if u can work ur way back in the game (his commentary on his euic win after his g1 t1)

[shadow wind]

My gxe right now is actually the highest it's ever been after like 50 games 😭

[dense latch]

in both your elo and the game

ive just given up on the 80% gxe

[shadow wind]

I think going for it is a bad goal to go for

[foggy lodge]

This account I've been using has a super bad gxe and I tanked a lot of elo but I got to top 1500+ with this in bo3 so I'm happy

[shadow wind]

You should be allowed to mess up

[dense latch]

i might've had a chance when i started to play reg i but with hax it feels really hard to do

[shadow wind]

If you play high ladder games your elo will natually go up

[foggy lodge]

I tanked elo mainly cuz I just used a lot of teams to test them in mid ladder

[dense latch]

unless i go super high on ladder

[foggy lodge]

And others because I'm just bad but anyways

[rustic mountain]

i had a nice 9 game win streak to cap it but i was bouncing between 1600s-1500s a cppl times

https://pokepast.es/fee61a49af787cd7
if any1 wants to tank their gxe use this team

[dense latch]

it doesnt feel super healthy to try and get there

makes shit like 18 wins and one loss feels like failure

[shadow wind]

Yeah real

It's pretty luck based too

[rustic mountain]

its a 12 type team (most u can possibly have on a team of 6) teams fun but sucks

[shadow wind]

Depends on who you get queued into

Also you gotta have close to perfect luck for 18 games

[dense latch]

the last time i got on showdown was to test some skill swap interactions

[rustic mountain]

80% is either skill diff or u got the sauce

[dense latch]

and we found a visual bug when you use skill swap twice on the same mon

[shadow wind]

Literally

[rustic mountain]

ull get it eventually erik

[shadow wind]

Heck, the #1 player on the Reg I ladder right now doesn't even have 80

[rustic mountain]

it took me multiple times of hitting 79% only to fumble it b4 finally reaching it relatively recently

[shadow wind]

I've only ever hit it twice and once in vgc

[dense latch]

i'll try to let it happen naturally as i climb through ladder

whenever we get a fun format again

[shadow wind]

Reg I is a fun format !

[rustic mountain]

i think its fine to go for, just dont let it be the only thing ur playing for

[foggy lodge]

me when i lie

[shadow wind]

Me when I truth !

[dense latch]

i think i got 80% gxe in mix and mega

that was a fun week or two until i realized 7 people played it

[rustic mountain]

lmao

[dense latch]

so queues took 20 minutes and when i did queue i'd forget and just time out

[shadow wind]

I hit 80% in rands once

Thank you Calculus for being so boring that I hit 80% in rands at school

[rustic mountain]

randbats is fun every now and then

[foggy lodge]

Me with 2019 in ladder

It kinds sucks that they bring back old VGC formats to ladder but very few people play

[shadow wind]

I'm glad I have my 80% fully documented on pasrs

[dense latch]

i had a metronome battle phase

[shadow wind]

Ogerpon being the classic follow me bot

Wait should I chuck all my games this Reg I into a pasrs?

[dense latch]

farig is almost perfect

[shadow wind]

Hmm there's not enough I think

[dense latch]

get in a game and click tr three times for funsies

[foggy lodge]

Never let them know your next move

[shadow wind]

Tank my elo for perfection

Oh wait

There's so many games

Alright give me a bit I got some copy and pasting to do

Isn't there a new pasrs or something?

Is 6.2 the newest?

Alright now I gotta paste so many games 😔

And they are NOT going to be in order

Why is there so many losses here

Somethings up

[rustic mountain]

https://tenor.com/view/how-do-we-tell-him-mr-krabs-spongebob-meme-spongebob-meme-gif-24063814

[shadow wind]

Ok only 71 games

Out of my 273

No clue where the other 202 games went

Wake is a weather ball merchant

[foggy lodge]

I love the word merchant

[shadow wind]

Merchant is a W word

[foggy lodge]

I remember yawn Blursa

My reg H merchant

[shadow wind]
