I forgot to shout out the P2 Crew, particularly @ZacEmer and @scotchtape_vgc, without whom the team would not exist. Y'all are the reason I was able to do this. Stand on the shoulders of giants and all that!

Absolutely psyched to have made day two and top 128 at NAIC with this Iron Bundle Moth team! Surprised that Bundle isn't more common, it was insanely good. Team was great and super fun. Kinda hoping reg I continues after Worlds now. We'll see!

@fe_bundle Limited space, but I'd be happy to answer or clarify more via DMs. Definitely change stuff as you see fit!

@Nyphus 4. I assume the moth is quark drive speed? 5. What's the use of moth on this team that chi-yu can't do? I want to give this composition a spin and build one with farigiraf and specs mirai instead of incin if that can work

@fe_bundle Ice Beam over Freeze-Dry because this team doesn't need more ways to hit Waters, and the extra power definitely helps (better shot to OHKO bulky Whims, for example). Chi-Yu was considered, but would undermine my own special bulk and not resist Fighting.

@fe_bundle Hello! Forgive the delay, flights and work and all that. Original core was Miraidon Bundle Moth due to strong coverage. Fire/Fairy was the draw; Moth hits harder with Gleam than Miraidon does. Flamethrower has more consistent power. Moth was SpA boosting.

@ZacEmer Be Prepared, Vancouver. The Lion King will return.

Day 2 with BFFs Dusk Mane & Frosmoth

@scotchtape_vgc 100% agree. I wanted to like it, and I did early on, but

Okay I'm officially off the copium, Tera is the worst mechanic we've ever had

Also featured here aaaaaaaaa this team is so fun to play youtube.com/watch?v=62sWJC…

@Alberto310 You as well!

@Nyphus Congrats on the finish :)

I, uh, got top 32 and made day 2 in Fresno! Psyched to have done so well in my hometown. Shout-out to @Alberto310 for making the team & chatting with me about it. It's very good and fun to play with, and I'm legitimately shocked I haven't seen anyone else running it.

Shout-out of course to the monastery: @ZacEmer @_Cabro @BlubVGC @scotchtape_vgc @MissingNoL @Enigne_

How has no one made this yet?

Bonus

At some point in our co-op session, my trainer became unable to stop being shocked. Maybe due to weird graphical glitches... #PokemonScarletViolet

@ZacEmer I commissioned a drawing one of the single funniest bits of commentary (and there are a lot) from @Dozzalon! Artist and context below.
