I think it would be so incredibly funny if Raichu X gets electric surge only for Raichu Y to get Hadron engine stapled to it.

@AndyBakesYT What does this entail? I didn’t see the original post but I might be interested

@fizzyfroggy0 @Skits_416 @T_Blatt If someone is running scarf swift swim basc, that’s a basc I’m not really scared of anyways.

@Skits_416 @T_Blatt 8% apparently, ain't nobody, but that's beside the point

I HAVE LOST EVERY STUPID UNDEAD FISH SCARF SPPED TIE AM I DOING SOMETHING WRONG??

@RichieGonzo21 @MoxieBoosted I suspect balance patches WILL eventually occur but they’re not going to happen mid format like many are clamoring for.
I think the first balance patch we ever get will accompany a new regulation.
English
@MoxieBoosted My take is instead of introducing more mons they should do good on the balance patches that were supposedly coming based on usage stats. Buff the 80% of the roster which currently sees 0 play.
English
This is mostly because the gap between the high tiers and the upper mid tiers is much smaller than in a lower power format.
Like, in M-A its hard to innovate due to the fact theres only a few mons for each role and one of them is like, kingambit and the other is stunfisk.
adit 🏳️🌈@wellspringmask
Unpopular opinion, but the higher the power level, the more easier it is to innovate
English
Regardless of whether you’re in the crowd that expected new mons/items for some reason or not with season M-2, I think most of us can agree that it’s actually tragic that NAIC will be played exclusively with default battle BGMs and none of the sick battle tracks.
English
@donquixote_eli @PyreonPT This Pokédex is on the higher side.
The Scarlet and Violet base dex was around 190 fully evolved species, slightly more usable mons if you want to include the select few not fully evolved pokemon that were fully usable.
English
The centralization is not a problem on its own. It becomes a problem when 1) the gap between meta and non-meta is too wide and 2) the formats are so short people are not encouraged to be creative and instead play safe with proven teams, therefore centralizing it even more.
Mentalsyndrome@mentalsyndrome
Every format is the worst format. People dislike M-A for centralizing around AeroZard slop People dislike Reg I for centralizing around CSR Zama People dislike Reg F for centralizing around Bolt Balance People dislike Reg G for the variety and non-centralized meta

@RosebudDrive The Sneasler did like 50% with dire claw, outsped you and drain punch only healed emboar to like 25%. Did they decide to throw by double protecting or something cause there’s otherwise no winning position from here.
English
i won this match…mega emboar sounds bad until you actually use it

After not getting into NAIC I registered forLA to fill a bfl slot and it paid off with a T32 finish.worlds push alive and was able to catch the season opener for the LA Sparks after being knocked out the tournament with my guy @blakesilver5. A great weekend to finish up with SV

@flbreglass Hardest agree of my life.
Wdym I have to listen to plain old trainer battle themes until champions decides to add more 😭😭😭
English
can we all agree that Scarlet & Violet has some of the best battle music in the whole series

A new study shows that individuals with similar levels of autistic traits are naturally drawn to one another. Brain scans reveal they use alternative, highly effective neural strategies to connect, challenging traditional deficit-based models of autism. dlvr.it/TSSN7t

I think it would be so funny if season 2 of M-A doesn’t change the mons legal at all but still totally flips the format on its head by making both raichu mega’s available and dropping in all of the Z mega stones
English
You try to respect your opponent by not clicking the obvious Sucker Pubch and these MFs just attack seriously
English
@TrueBurna Think of sucker punch mind games like this:
Use sucker punch, and the worst outcome is the game goes on another turn. If you don’t, worst case is you lose.
(Most) players won’t have the conviction to call 8 turns in a row. No shame in learning, go easier on yourself.

@Smogolem Just run your own Low Kick Kingambit, problem solved!
English
I have 3 mons on my hitlist :
M-Froslass
Kingambit
Basculegion
Mega Golurk@Smogolem
I'm beginning to look into partner megas for Golurk

@PolkaNDot2 @AbraxasVGC @dawnst0nez Adding mons means by definition it’s not the same format, and it would be an entirely new regulation.
They’ve already established that M-A is two seasons long (basically 2 months) so unless they’re willing to break nearly a decade of precedent the most we can expect is new items
English
@PyreAeroVGC @AbraxasVGC @dawnst0nez I don't think they can realistically afford to not add more Mons every season, they can afford not adding more mechanics but even rn people are getting sick of the same 5 Mons being at top
English
@AbraxasVGC @dawnst0nez Reg M-A is confirmed to run for 2 seasons and will switch to Reg M-B sometime in June.
So the pool of mons will probably not change. Best one can hope for is for perhaps new items to be added to change viability but even so the rich will likely get richer so to speak.
English
@dawnst0nez The first season ends in like 10 days I think, I’m not positive but I think we will enter a new regulation with a new set of allowed mons at the same time
English
Every other game on the ranked ladder is going to be someone using this team now 😂

I placed 6th/400,000 with this One-Hit-KO + Perish Trap team in the first Global Challenge of Pokemon Champions! The full 9 hour vod (and an explanation of the team w/ rental code) is available on Patreon! Edited video coming sometime in the next few weeks

@SplashPlateVGC Wide guard on the team would help if you don’t already have.

VGC guys as someone who's new to playing doubles - how do you actually beat this shit?
I brought Gambit thinking that'd be a check, but they Gravity + Focus Blast then just helping hand + Expanding Force nukes my shit, what's the counterplay with a standard structure (no TR)
