what did mega scrafty get
Not in the game
we dont know yet
what
don't think it's in the game yet
I hope joe posts a full list of available pokemon soon
not all of them are available yet
so the ones w abilities we dont know arent out
Overall champions is wuite good but idk about this wack ass meta
yeah
bruh thats so dumb what
theyll be added soon enough im sure
holy king gambit is goated
Wait will mega froslass and a9 be good
just clutched a 1v3
i just wanna figure out how to connect my game to home so i can have my meowscarada
why do you need 2 snow setters
Oh they both do it
mega froslass has snow warning
I can't save replay rip
Gambit behind screens might be so tank
Ok so instead of pin missile body press i'll do gambit behind screens
With the dirge maybe
And mega dnite
i wanna try leafeon in the sun
chlorophyll 😄
Isn't leafeon budget venusaur
check it's moves
im not using it for sleep powder i wanna smack stuff with leaf blade
Ok budget hisuian lilligant
sure
Except you can't cc
what a tragedy that is 😑
So what do we think about the new abilities? I’m especially interested in @short meteor’s ability
we dont know them all yet 🙁
Anyone got an extra delphox i can have
Ah ok
before I ask, does anyone here know vgc?
I don’t know much abt it. Why?
is this a trick question
yes kinda
yea
i havent kept up with it for a year now tho
No gen 3 or 8 starters. Patrat is in
lol what
No Rillaboom is nuts
Unless this list hasn't been updated yet...
Damn tpc really doesn't like the gen 8 starters
good riddance of rillaboom tbh
Nah rillaboom is good for the meta
U ain’t wrong
me when i lie
They'll put it in eventually ngl, all starters bar these 2
alright, im doing a natdex doubles tournament where the gimmick is that you have to choose a team of Pokemon that are majority one color. which color do yall think has the most potential?
U can't tell me u hate rilla more than incin
😮
… honestly…. i do.
They told you 
that’s highkey crazy to say tbh
🤷♂️
Why? Incin has all the tools, intim, parting shot, fake out and great coverage
okay and
saying this as an incin fan before intimidate
Rilla is monke
rilla is irritating
at least with incin i know what im dealing with with rilla you never know until its too late
Then you should play ots
Ponders whether ir not to transfer mons in
Transfer ur incin to me
I know Wolfey said that Incin doesn’t get Knock Off in Champions but he said it’s probably on his version which at the time was the demo, so now that Champions is out, does Incin not get Knock Off on this final version of the game?
My shiny one?
Any
Nnno
Incin probably had knock off removed seeing as arch got body press removed
Arch found in a ditch
Arch got his press removed?
Yes, arch in ruins
Damn, at least there’s still the other option.
Yeah electro shot spam
M Victreebels ability is such a letdown...
But no body press feels sad
I mean now at least it'll be slightly less of a nightmare to face
Yeah. Max defence body press was just dumb
Headset Rotom
it doesn't get knock off
Damn, I wonder who the new knock off user will be
So is there a full list anywhere of what's actually in?
there's one in game
Oh
check news
But why is Patrat in xd
I will as soon as i get home and actually download it
Because patrat needs more love
Should we drop dnite?
i enjoyed the tutorial especially the one with the old guy using an espeon
It wouldn't let me blast the mons in the way I wanted 
true
'Click body slam
'
However, free real estate in Mega Stones
Me: furiously wanting to go down and press the SE move
Yo for champions, what’s a good substitute for Ursuluna?
I thought ursaluna was legal?
Nah it’s not in it
Man I wanted to use Monke's Coaching Infernape team, only to find out Rilla isn't legal and Band is gone
What a good substitute for it?
Oh so joe was wrong
Yup
What do quick coupons do in Champions? Just wondering
reduce the timer to recruit another pokemon
Only other guts user is flareon and flareon is ass because you're stuck with toxic orb
Toxic Orb isn't even in the game
Ohhh, well all Pokemon I needed I got them from HOME so I guess these coupons are useless for me lol
Well then you're stuck with heracross or machamp
How did you connect home mine wont connect
So many items have been cut in the format
It won’t let you? I just finished the Champions tutorial and immediately went to HOME to transfer em to Champions
🙁
I guess it’s not working for everyone, probably too many people using it at once
Also
ARCHALUDON LOST BODY PRESS WHYYYYYYYYY
It's even worse than that. No Vest, no Power Herb
No AV?
nope:(
At least there’s rain so he can do Electro Shot immediately but still, damn 😭
Is there black glasses so i can run my fav item on gambit
🙁
Ok good i can run black glasses
is conkeldur not in
Conk is legal
what six are yall running for sun
But you have no way to proc it yourself since Flame and Toxic orbs aren't
no clue i cant get home to connect
Who should my screen setter be for gambit, i'm thinking meowstic so I can mega if needed

You don't link through there
It's in the main menu along with GO and Bank connectivity
go back one then look bottom right
Anyone know the requirements for a pokemon to be eligible for transfer to champions? trying to transfer some pokemon I caught in swsh and it won't let me lol
fully evolved and need to be available in champions
I mainly want to bring my shiny metagross, I'm sure he's in the game
He is not
He's not legal yet
You will have to live with the true goat aggron
😔
what are these incineroar evs
Ahhhh yes i love mons with glaring 4x weaknesses to the most popular types
(i say being a massive gambit fan)
Mega Aggron is like barely usable
Just use it like a weaker Zamazenta
Does anyone have a full list of the new mega abilities?
So hows champions?
Body press and heavy slam yeah lol
a lot of items are missing
No life orb life over…
true
Is uh
Mega falinks good
🤷♂️
don't think it's in
Damn
I just remembered it came out today
I got persona 3 reload instead
Because my mom let me grab smth for my birthday coming up this Thursday
I was curious on trying it out but people on social media are saying champions is bad
Not necessarily the game is bad. More like the current regulation is.
It's at worst fine lmao
ye but lucky for me the team I made on sd is legal
but I am missing 3 items
That's kind of the thing too
So can i now practice this format on sd or should i just leap right into champions
just go in
I don't think you get penalized for losing so just leeroy jenkins
I think screens gambit seems like a good starting point
If feels like no one has any teams yet lol
Tfw your choices are only Meowstic-M and Klefki
Does Gengar still keep perish song? Lol
Gross dual steel types no ty
Oh yeah clef is in the game right?
Cool, you have Vivillon or Maushold for that 
Wait, dammit can i not bring clefairy in lol
You only need to worry about the braindead t1 mega zard y + chloro venu mach 3 sleep powder
I always hated maushold so i'm gonna use goggles maushold
If only goggles were in the game...
I need a good tr setter
You just gotta endure the fast sleep powders
I was thinking tr gambit
Fari is in the game, so there's that
Waitttt
so is my goat hatterene
Sap sipper farig
But no Deedee
Ok i'm cooking
Ooooooooooh
sideeye
But can we live the Drought boosted Zard Y attack
Might steal that
yes
Yes indeed it is
With filter?
That's actually kinda good for tr
Does it still get rock moves
Yes
Might be lowkey good for the mega zard y spam
So our lead against Zard is Incin Fari then?
Incin seems to be the only fake out user around right
It would be very funny if aggron still had dragon tail but alas
We got Kang
Oooh mega kang
Oh shit yeah
I want to use that, is it too fast for tr?
I mean you're playing vs Zard Y and Venu in sun
It has 90 speed
Heck yeah mega kang
You're underspeeding it fosho
Even with parental bond nerfed that's the play
Now i'm salivating at the thought of parental bond double edge
Oh god
Or giga impact
Punishes sun, could work
And spicy extract on gambit with clam
Sleep powder zard, next turn overheat venu
Is mega scovillain gonna be any good?
Does it keep chlorophyll?
Incin boutta have like 80% usage guys
Anyone got a megadragonite team to send me c:?
Clam doesn’t exist and Scovillian doesn’t keep Chloro upon mega
not many other options rn tbh
Yea we don't have to commit the mega on Scov tbh
I call dibs on Oranguru Golurk
It's just there for the zard y + venu lead
how come my goat mienshao isnt in the game nintendo might just hate me
https://pokepast.es/29123cdd56f959e1 personally not a fan of uh, the sini here but whatever
|| mega chande ability is fucking infiltrator my life is ruined forever ||
I’m away from my set up right now
?
It’s my favorite mon I was hoping it would get something a lil cooler :(((
Would fairy feather not be better on Sylv?
Has pretty low base hp already
Probably
How does magic bounce work if all mons on field have it and someone uses a status move?
Does hatterene work for this team? Farigaraf, Incineroar, Torkoal, Mega Charizard Y, Venusaur
I mean I don’t know what it would even be doing
A secondary mega might be better (?)
Like what though
Does Champions want paid Home? I canceled my yearly subscription cause money and I’m wondering if I can only access the basic box
Mega Kang?
Oo I’ll try that
we got 4/6 mons as the same
Would gastrodon work better than mega kang
No real damage boosting items is so limiting
Nevermind it’s not even in the game
It's rly weird because it's like they're pushing us to use megas but at the same time, those missing items already exist when megas were first legal
Yeah no lorb or even an expert belt is killing the damage
Given the items we do have i'm kinda surprised expert belt isn't in
This game is horrible in release and it’s so overblown that it’s justified atp
I wonder if Kommo-o is good against the Zard-Y Venu teams
Golurk has unseen fist😭
Literally if all of the items were in the game it would be genuinely fun
Golurk has what?
The lack of items is definitely annoying but who knows game has only been out for what like 4 hrs I’m sure more items will come back eventually
Yeah but they suould be there on release
Already great ball 2
Yeah definitely a large blinder on them. The limited Pokemon is also interesting
Bouta be ultra rank
I like a lot of the megas this time around
Frosslass is mt personal favorite
Yea I’m running mega gengar rn cuz I rly like perish trap and wanna see how far it can get me but I’ll definitely play around with some of the new ones eventually
Definitely want to try out frosslass at some point
What's mega froslass ability
Snow warning
Is it game changing that mega golurk has unseen fist
Unseen fist has a damage nerf
How does gambit, sap sipper farig and mega kang in tr sound
Unseen fist is shit now
It does like tickle damage
Ushibum is COOKED
Urshifu is washed now
Old man needs to retire
Archaludon should also retire atp
Hey he still has the rain and electro shot
im using it on my current team ive only played 3 games with it but its not that bad
He's a bum without body press
exactly shit still feels like hollow purple
I am really enjoying mega aggron and moxie gyarados
Do u ever mega gyarados
Ehh no
What does it hold? Figy?
Anyone else have problems sending mons from home to champ ?
Nvm confusion berries aren't even here
Honestly i just had it holding sitrus or lefties because there is nothing else
Imagine they reverted the ability when we come back to mainline games
Is gyarados good against venu zard
No clue haven't run into that yet
You literally don’t have a flying move so not really
They won't do it because urshifu been eating good for too long
You will have hurricane and you will like it
Uhh where does it say that Unseen Fist is nerfed?
Bring me back to gen 3 and we have a deal
@bold geode well i was right that we had to learn the weakness berries
I didn't think it would be like this but i was right
Are we sure it's nerfed or is it just because Golurk is mid
Who the hell is ever going to run oran
Unseen fist is nerfed
Is magnet archaludon about to be a thing since no AV
25% through protects now
God we really are in the dark ages again
So it work like mega excadrill ability now ?
No, quick claw slowbro shall lead us all to salvation
Eq and poltergeist don’t work with it
Big stall rejoices
Although no more toxic orb Gliscor
But also no more hdb so death to big stall
So the full list of what's legal is in the news section?
Millions must learn to play the game /j
So no mega manectric 😔😔😔
Any mega glimm
Cannot believe i need to run scarf manetric
Wait does this mean eerie spell and spite can be useful now
have u ever used 8 protects on the same Mon in 1 game anyway
Is that my answer to big venu zard
Bro has never played against trick room
If it can outspeed the mach 3 sleep powder then ye
Thank god
why is the rocky helmet on the menu icon if its not in the game bro this is just egregious😭😭😭
Because fuck you that's why
The pokemon works, no it fucking doesn't
Is galarian slowking available now ?
We all need to learn to embrace the chaos
Cause they want to make you pay 5.99 for it later
Incineroar will centralise the meta
Which regional will play Champions?
At least with no life orb we can say mega feraligatr is better than base form for now
I love the oran berry so much (why the hell is it in this game)
Because fuck you that's why
Now you get it
Oran berry incin new meta
I am glad that hydrapplen has been left untainted by this mess
Hydrapple my goat
Hydrapple and kingambit my goats
I lowkey want to try sap sipper farig with kang and gambit
Oh cool we can get four armed freak now
Is that machamp
Yes
Washed
Nobody has ever used a lot of gen 1 mons
True
Gen 1 the most overrated gen
At least quick claw quick draw glowbro is in, that's my meme pick
Yessir
You can tell i'm still stuck in like gen 9.5
I never left gen 8 bro
In my mind gen 8 competitive was perfect
No sneasler, no archaludon
Any mon could dmax
I do miss it
Zacian was not washed
Rinya sun my beloved
That i do not miss
Groudon was not washed
But i do miss the clicking the insta win button
Max airstream from lando was scary
I used the hell out of kyurem black at one point
I forget what i used but i def used gorsola and dialga lunala at one point
When will day 1 usage stats be published
Anyone know if there is a list I can find of pokemon I can move into champions?
some poor guy just got stalled by an umbreon
it was 3 to 1 and my goat held on long enough to draw
check the news tab in-game
how did ur umbreon survive that
snarl moonlight leftovers and high bulk investment
r u running toxic on that
no
UMBREON IS SO FUCKING GOATED
i won another game cuz they apparently felt threatened by my umbreon and left my zoroark-H alone too long
woah i did a switch system update and they got rid of the pinwheel thing for the system lock, that's huge
what was horoark disguised as
how's manectric doing
amazing surprisingly
do i buy the starter bundle
wish i had better coverage than snarl and hyper voice though
flamethrower is putting in work i gotta say
and i click hypervoice for funny double kos
(its already happened 3 times and ive only done like 8 games so far)
uh oh if i face a manectric i gotta watch out for the overheat into gambit don't I
absolutely
is the starter bundle worth it
or flamethrower like i have cuz i dont wanna miss
i got a couple good mons from
the recruit cards and the extra storage is nice
idk if its necessary but ive found it helpful
meh it's only $10.50 i'd say that's pretty decent
its only 7 for me
aussie currency is hot doo doo
am i cooking
ykw i'm purchasing the starter bundle so i can get my gambit in
but otherwise its been amazing
might swap hatterene out for lopunny
hatterene hasnt done much for me yet
ooooh mega lopunny
goodbye golurk?
affirmative it gets triple axel
hold please gotta get the lopunnite
did u import ur alpha lopunny from PLA
Question does EV from mainline pokemon games transfer too champions ?
yes
also yes
Wait really so you can just build pokemon on mainline games and then send it too Champions
i gotta admit, i was feeling pretty jaded with vgc but i am hyped to play champions
kind of
Huh what's thing that doesn't get transfered too champions
what rank are you and what mons have you seen the most of
sorry i feel like you're getting bombarded with questions now lol
mega froslass?
and vanilluxe yes
oh god not the ice cream
if there's blizzard spam around i should really pack a skeledirge
UMBREON YOURE SO GOATED
my umbreon has tanked 4 blizzard
and is still only in the yellow
that is one bulky mfer
how much did moonlight recover even with snow active
a lot
what's the calcs for moonlight recovery, least in rain, most in sun right?
yeah
umbreon forever the best most goated eeveelution
ate 4 blizzards and healed all the way back to full without getting frozen
insanity
what a tank
with lefties not av btw
what's it doing in return besides snarl chip though
putting stuff to sleep or forcing switches with yawn
oh rightttt i forgot it yawns
do you think i should trial yawn skeledirge along the same lines
3 v1 against an incin i think i win
i got umbreon meowscarada and manectric still
ehhhh two dark types idk
and its hurting itself with flare blitz
incin users sometimes rely on it as a crutch don't they
you saw my team
i mean it is in a snow team so why not run it
AND UMBREON GETS THE KO LETS GOOOOOOO
bye incin
was incin just flare blitzing into umbreon
style points for chipping incin with flower trick
i was choice scarf i didnt have a choice
i used flower trick to kill the vanilluxe and froslass and was locked into it against the incin
wow there really aren't any items in this game huh, choice scarf meowscarada is not ideal
idk bro it works just fine
oh god im against a mega dnite sand team
HOLY SHIT MEOWSCARADA
uh oh i need to prep for sand teams
i lowk don't know what to do against them if i'm running farig and gambit
i just did 90% to the ttar
holy shit based meowscarada
in sand btw
oh ttar gets def boost in sand right?
oh right
but still
champions still downloading bruh
goddamn meow you cooked em
good thing they didn't send out mega dragonite t1
this is not looking good for me
they did
it was dnite ttar lead
uh oh ur cooked
dnite is dead
how?
manectric killed it
with what?
tbolt
lmfao i thought that did neutral
it does
is mega dnite actually just washed lmao
i'm thinking i'm gonna need something with a play rough or moonblast
they need to add replays in this game soon because i want to witness this
I BEAT THE SCARY SAND TEAM
UMBREON I LOVE YOU
also it ate that dazzling gleam like it was nothing holy
u need to build this team around the umbreon because it seems like the mvp
umbreon took like 30 damage from a gengar dazzling gleam
💀
ate thet for breakfast
seems like all the megas that you've faced are just washed lmao
nah umbreon is just too powerful
also no one expects it cuz its generally considered not a good pokemon
have u faced any fighting types yet
im gonna show yall how good this little gremlin cat is
because something with scrappy might make ur day hell
i faced an armorouge with aura sphere
umbreon ate 4 and still didnt die
wait is indeedee in this game
ok good, so i can still sucker punch the armarouge
that might be trouble for gambit
ykw i think sap sipper farig is too niche and i might just go armour tail
alright i got 2 physical attackers 2 special attackers and 2 supports
meowscarada and lopunny manectric and zoroark and whimsicott and umbreon
icl though umbreon is carrying rn
farig, gambit, kangaskhan, what else should i use for tr
chonk central is just that guy
i need another mega
join the umbreon agenda 🗣️
i'm gonna see what's legal and see if anything leaps out at me
vibes based gaming
oh god no palafin is in
asking me for my birth month and year, yes hello i was just born today
looked at the legality list indeedee is not here
ig i went with the right evs for my umbreon huh
i went 20 hp 14 defense and 32 special defense with a calm nature
maybe i should swap bitter malice on zoroark for hex to synergize with umbreons yawn
Does anyone have a 2v2 team for champions I could copy?
huh?
2 of them got folded by umbreon the third lost a mega battle against my manectric
I SAID THE SAME THING LMAO
why does he have fire punch and fly and flamethrower the only special move
maybe he wanted a mega zard x and didnt wanna run dragon claw
Does anyone have a good 2v2 team I could use??
you mean. a doubles team?
also furthermore why does he have meganium on his team
i will not tolerate meganium slander
sorry vro meganium was never good
ive been a chikorita fan since playing silver dont tell me if my dinosaur is good or not
do u think mega pidgeot will be any good
no
Ya
pidgeot sucks ass
i'm a genwunner and will not tolerate pidgeot slander
i dont think anyones gonna have any rental teams yet
im a gen 2er and wont tolerate meganium slander
No I mean a team that ppl have that’s good that I can replicate
agree to disagree then lol
we dont have any yet its a new format bud
Calm the farm
roster ranch reminds me of paniola ranch in USUM
No need to get angry
you should join my umbreon agenda
who is angry?
U
?????
kalossssss join the umbreon agenda 🗣️ 🔥
sorry already gonna lock in on gambit tr
so i have 2 dark types
in ur case they are complimentary
meowscarada and umbreon have a very odd synergy
because one is fast and one is slow
i wish we had physical fake tears
screech
oh well look at that
i wonder if anyone have just gone with a team from the auto-builder lol
dammit
i should try it
i have a feeling if u choose a strong first pokemon it will auto-select good pokemon
bruh why do i have to go through all this tutorial stuff like single battles etc
umbreon is ur mvp, do it
wait the team actually doesnt change much from what im already using
which means ur a goated teambuilder
this game is giving me stadium flashbacks
in a good way
i think that’s the point
i love the draco meteor animation, could watch it all day
havent seen it yet
ok so i think ttar is the new default knock off user
umbreon
also ttar got mogged by my meowscarada ttar who
ttar? whos that guy never heard of em
don't tell conner that
id show him the replay if i could
u need to get a capture card stat twin
woah caraway sure is cute
i agree they did a very good job with her design
kajima reminds me of professor kukui's wrestling alter ego
true
i'm getting good vibes from this game
whats crazy is i kept doubting myself picking manectric as my mega
and here we are and im absolutely cooking rn
out of 9 games ive only lost 1 and ended another in a draw
i really wish the mental herb was in the game
and wheres my covert cloak
anyways moral of the story manectric im sorry for doubting you
If anyone played a Sinistcha vs Sinistcha stallfest end game here a few minutes ago, I'm so sorry for taking your time
did u doubt umbreon too
i just got the omni ring lesssgooooo
eligible pokemon, lmao who is using 3/4 of these
yessssss my goat gliscor, who needs clam when you have hyper cutter
what's mr rime doing here bruh
no i never doubted the moon cat
just the electric dog
vex do u think i should try gliscor
yes
wait what if no farig but i go gambit, gliscor, sneasler
and just go full tilt balance
kangaskhan for fake out/mega
then two special attackers
as Karen of the elite 4 once said “Strong Pokémon. Weak Pokémon. That is only the selfish perception of people. Truly skilled trainers should try to win with their favorites."
ew the karen quote
its true though
did i tell you i cheesed a game using only whimsicott and zoroark disguised as meowscarada
whim has moonblast encore stun spore and tailwind and zoroark has psychic bitter malice detect and icy wind
hilarious
strange team
thinking of a 6th is always hard for me
Hi kalos
hi meme what's the latest ragebait
i had dark pulse instead of detect at that time and i para flinched their steelix with stun spore and dark pulse
it's a completely new format, just pick ttar, excadrill mega dnite and you'll do fine
my latest ragebait is that champions is actually...good?
and umbreon 🥺
ehhhhhhh 3 fighting weaknesses not so good
i have 3 fairy weaknesses
waitttttt, i have my 6th for the balance team
a9
it's perfect
moonblast, icy wind, encore, protect
no aurora veil?
oh right i did say gambit behind screens would cook

aurora veil, blizzard, moonblast, protect
peak
so we have, gambit, gliscor, kangaskhan, sneasler, a9, and what else
My first ever team I've made is ttar, chomp, corvettes for tailwind which usually goes last lol, incin coz hes funny, paladin coz i know its good, and mega gard
go ttar, chomp, excadrill, corv, mega dnite
Could be worse but yeah throwing together my favourites and stuff I know is good is stupid af
and then incin
and umbreon
bro's become a ride or die for umbreon
true
ok, so
a9, gambit, sneasler, kang, gliscor, how about skeledirge?
i mean why not
bulky mon + recovery + screens + torch song
Trying to do rock slide flinches, and kinda making a gambling fun team thingy. No metronome sadly
meme look up popular sand teams from reg h v2.0 and use that for inspo
you can't use indeedee sadly but you can use sneasler
just para flinch everything with twave/stun spore/nuzzle
Is there any guides for team building and choosing your 6 mons for dummies
Im probably too dumb for that lol
from wolfey, aaron cybertron zeng and other goats
wolfey? 
hes posting content every day for the month of april in celebration of the launch of champions

say sike rn
youd think with how much i idolize the guy id have subscribed to his patreon by now
never pay for content that you can otherwise get for free
for legal reasons i do not condone piracy
lmao
meme did i scare u off
anyways no hes actually posting daily videos on youtube
with bonus stuff on patreon
do you think it's fine if i just have the one mega slot (kang)
on that note im going to sleep its 6:30 in the morning
yeah i only had mega manectric and it was cooking
is there a place to drop friend codes so we can all add each other for practice battles and such
Oh thats a good udes
oh good i didn't scare you off
i bet that guy will be running ttar lycanroc in champions
bwahacough my goat always stuck to ttar lycanroc
Ttar buddies
conner idolises bwahacough because he loves ttar too and bwahacough always did well with it
ok i need to track down my skeledirge and a9
oh god i remember what put me off shiny hunting, going 393 for jumbo lapras i think it was?
W h a t
Did I just see my own focus sash go off at full hp
Yeah
What in the fuck lmao
It might be a visual bug lmaooo
Is this what happened?
so no idea how to ev kangashkhan and gliscor
Ah yes, this
please tell me fake out is a tm or whatever in champions
Yes
Dang
oh crap the espeon used dazzling gleam in this doubles tutorial
oh it wasn't even a full battle
@graceful scaffold honestly go through the tutorials, it makes vgc easier to understand than reading vgcguide
SHE GETS WHAT!?!?!
good thing that monster isn't legal in reg m-a
im p sure it is?
is it part of the z-a dex
Yes
Eternal Floette is given as a gift in the postgame
omfg it is legal in reg m-a
meme you'd better add an excadrill to your team in case you encounter eternal floette
"I heard I’m UBERS broken now?"
ive been watching a lot of vgc content and just pokemon stuff in general e.g nuzlockes, battle factory, but yeah i need to just get some practice and not feel bad about how hard it actually is
there's no penalty for failing so just build a team, try it out, see which mons are working and which aren't, see what attacks you're dying to and whether it's worth ev investment to live etc
but ttar excadrill is always solid
also talk to conner about ttar when he's online he'll help

Lmao
it already was if you wanted to compete in tournaments or play when dlc is released
Yes
fwiw it's free to start and you get generous rewards on starting
@short meteor
i will never miss tracking down pokemon for materials for tms though
Yeah imma transfer some of my ev trained mons and see what I can do
Which mons are looking dangerous rn you reckon?
It’s actually very funny how Floette gets Xerneas’s ability

Exactly

Thank you, ya should’ve been doing that when you arrived at postgame
lightly.friendly has given 1 Gen Rep to dubiousdelphine
can't go wrong with dnite, weather will always be strong, gengar might be good
Aegislashhh am thinkinggggg
Esp with this floette around
Breaking News: Xerneas found dead in a ditch
Can't go wrong w aegis
NO I DID NOT WANT A REP
As it should’v been…
i'm personally going gambit and skeledirge and sneasler with aurora veil, my goats in reg h
Noiceee
I really wished she got something to balance LoR’s horrendous recoil but hey a free 33% boost on top of stab on a base 140BP move is fair I guess
kangaskhan to round out the 6
yeah i have been delaying iy cause i want to soft reset ivs XD
That’s fair but since IVs don’t exist in champions…
That's a great lineup ngl
i've always felt most comfortable with balance
Im forced to use Taunt Incineroar cause my goat lost Knock Off 😔
good point ill just ev train in za first
Also which money spending things are worth it as of now ??? @cyan smelt
Yeah, I’m defs replacing Light Of Ruin for something else because I’m not letting her nuke herself
Thank god 😭😭🙏

i bought the starter pack but haven't bought anything in game
I don’t think you need to do that either.
Thinking the same tbh
just teach it dazzling gleam or moon blast
I typically use it as a finisher move such as here
can't believe that i'm seeing the day that eternal floette is legal tbh
You can just set the EVs now in Champions, like in Showdown
can someone answer me if fake out is a tm in champions?
well dont you need vp?
Really unfair but it is what it is
You can just teach the Pkm the move with VP
Now that’s funny
Yes, but at least you don’t need to waste time in another game dumping something like Calcium
well i don't need to worry about eternal floette because i have sneasler
i just need to worry about its buddies 😭
Dire Claw the flower and call it a day
i need to grab a sneaseler from other games
dire claw gg shake my hand
but dont you need to walk it first to evo
question, is anyone gonna use mega golurk or mega victreebell
Yes, but I already went through that
i havent
Im so happy that people are actively plotting against my second favourite Pokemon (next to Lucario) because we all collectively agree that she’s busted beyond belief
ill just grab one from arcues then
so my 6 is a9, kangaskhan, sneasler, gliscor, skeledirge, gambit
Worth buying some mega stones???
I was about to mention PLA
Thinking excaderite and charizadite Y
Like wym she gets a 33% boost to a OHKO move on top of base 155 Sp.Atk
Yes, Floette is, I don’t want to be rude to her, in a nutshell, disgustingly busted
don't use mega excadrill but zard y will be good
Okayyyy
i havent seen anyone talk about this
m-a is ending june 17th
this means worlds will be the first m-b tour
lmfao saw that
Unless they decide to pull off a plot twist and introduce Tera to Champions
wait how do i bring pokemon from home to champions
regulation t-a
Yes
Cause that was the other gimmick introduced in the trailer
Congrats to my GOAT Floette for power-creeping Xerneas
i sent from home, how do i accept in champions?
we know all gimmicks will eventually be here but they arent adding tera in right away
xerneas fans in ruins because no more power herb so no more geomancy
Go to recruit and collect from home
So obviously, introduce that gimmick before Worlds
still so many bugs..
Evs for aegislash anyone???
mega turn order is messed up
IT WAS DESERVED!!! XERNEAS WAS UNFAIR AND IT WAS ON ONE OF THE MOST TRAUMATISING TEAMS IN 2016
Since Floette has Fairy Aura now and MUCH MORE KILL POTENTIAL, even if PH was in the game rn it’ll see no play cause why waste a turn Setting G-mancy when something that has more power than you can kill faster
is eternal floette faster
floette did not powercreep xerneas
it ruined za ranked
Xerneas is and will always be better
#1 it takes your mega slot
#2 youre slower
#3 youre less bulky
#4 you take a bunch of recoil
bruh what's going on my evs are messed up
Not a xerneas fan btw
yall are getting ahead of yourself
At least I didn’t need to go through season 3
also pherb is not permanently gone most likely
Yeah, they will reintroduce it as the game gets older
Well I haven’t had the misfortune of going up against PH Geomamcy yet so yeah maybe I don’t know that well
are you telling me that xerneas next to primal groudon won't be busted
oh my god not big 6
Mega dragonite spread and moveset???
Yeah dude if you had you'd know why most people hate xerneas so much
I didn’t even experience it, but I KNOW the pain everyone experienced when Big 6 terrorised 2016
I see you know the trauma as well
Well I heard about it but I was too young to feel its wrath back then
xerneas with dark void smeargle was horrible apparently
wolfey has a great video about it
No s*** sherlock
Yet Darkrai payed the price for that lmao
It’s an amazing video
But Darkrai? Bro has nothing to do with the trauma
darkrai is left with 55% hypnosis 😭
evasion & accuracy were removed from moody asw as dark void being taken out of its learnset
well thank goodness because then smeargle alolan muk would be even worse
The main core of Big 6 really suffered some serious nerfs after Wolfe won. AND THEY WERE DESERVED
lol
big 6, rinya sun, there's always going to be dominant archetypes and it's usually gonna be sun
im clickin da light of ruin button
I’m guessing Rinya Sun was the Sword and shield superteam

guys do you think i've got enough anti-intim tech on my team, i've got scrappy, defiant and hyper cutter
competiive?
What does “nya” mean? I’m not that old to know the slang
yes
Add Inner Focus
need to be able to hit mega froslass with fake out
Yeah, Scrappy is very fun
my evs are all messed up bro
and gliscor's ability keeps going back to sand veil
and it reset its nature
how do i get vp?
nvm i have 20k
what moves do i teach gliscor, i honestly dk
knock off can't hurt right
fuck it hhp, rock slide, sd, protect
this training music is so hype holy shit
ykw i can't wait to hit mega froslass with the drain punch
but maybe low kick is better
can you imagine parental bond low kick
do you think i put fake out on sneasler?
I’ve tried it. It really only works on the heavy bois
drain punch it is
I feel like the most fun ‘mons I want to try out are Mega Kanga (at least it’s no longer very traumatising), Mega Char Y, and Mega Gengar (I wonder why)
where's the black glasses
oh shop, duh
ohhhh i am giving kangaskhan the silk scarf hell yeah
Yeah, all type boosting items are in the shop like Fairy Feather, Black Glasses and Metal Coat
Oh no, I see where this is going
oh no wait i need kangaskhanite
