bold geode
Yeah that's the main issue
sudden remnant
does indeedee learn gravity? 
bold geode
Idts
But like yeah I think it's honestly kinda bad to have to use Gravity for that
And while I do enjoy that I don't gotta deal with that mega spamming spread Eforce, I will admit that was one hell of a shot in the foot
bold geode
Nah it's just that you took it's one thing
Like without that you just have a Ground immune that can soak Heat Wave and like
Charizard Y can give you that plus a Sun boost do
Like in singles it's probably pretty good but in the official format eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhh

tcg live battle pass is free sooo surely? (might be hella copium)

You're gonna play the game a lot and the price for the pass is probably like what
10 bucks every month or two?

That would be better
unkempt flax
Like I think that’s the only issue with my game. Doesn’t look to pay to win that much, Training tickets are gonna be nice, but other then that the only pay to win feature I possibly see is the fact we know mega stones are in the battle pass, which scares me. Because what if they are locked for that season

sudden remnant
current cart ladder is reg I right?

I'm just giving you my advice, my opinion
You ain't gotta fuckin listen

i wasn’t planning to
ill use incin if my team like really wants it, but rillla the genies and base ursaluna are a fuck no

or like a ridemon

Out of all 3 starters I'm least interested in how they'll do Pombon

they don't have much characteristics based on appearance besides browt

The problem is not them standing in 2 legs most of the time
