I guess I am returning to EUIC for the first time since 2019... Maybe I need to learn how to play again. :)

@paperrr748 Thank you for the team report! The team has been performing very well in testing and kept me undefeated with two wins in the first stage of the World Cup. It did take some time to iron out a couple of match ups but after that it feels like you have a game Vs any composition.

俺の構築使ってる！

@og_albina ... usually want a stronger option in those roles since they're pretty pivotal typings for most teams.

@og_albina Spheal, it is so good they had to take it out of the game. Any low tier poison is usually good for its points, I feel like the low tier water and poisons are usually better than most other low tiers in what they actually bring to the table, only problem for them is that you...

Alright chat… another Twitter question I ask once a year is returning… What is the most UNDERRATED Pokémon in draft league? This can be for offensive or defensive reasons, or even just due to it matching up well into the metagame. I’d love to hear explanations why too!

@Shuckle_king Of course I have heard this absolute banger of a song before.

@Pd0nZ I wish you the best of luck in future endeavours, we might have only interacted on very few occasions but I did enjoy the times. Have a great next chapter!

It's time. Thank you to everyone who helped make this some of the best moments of my life, but I can no longer do this. After over a decade of travel, play, and friendship, I am retiring from active, competitive VGC at the end of the 2022-23 season. pastebin.com/yswmfpcH

5 showdown games is all the prep you need 😎

What I have missed the feeling of not having a team the day before a regional haha

@LDFBarker Well done! Go get them tomorrow, I know you can do it!

3-2 to 7-2 I made it!!! I can't believe this 😭😭😭

@og_albina Big KLAWF, no explanation needed.

NEW TWITTER QUESTION: Through your experiance this gen thus far, which pokemon would you consider incredibly underrated/undervalued in draft league? For me its Azu, its always been solid but in this early Paldea meta it seems especially great and very anti meta. Drop yours ⬇️

@og_albina Skeledirge hands down, makes it able to check your opponents most scary Mon or possibly half their team and then just sweep through.

IM BACK WITH A NEW TWITTER QUESTION!! Now that tera is a bit more established, what are your favorite/best tera captains?? Assume they can tera into ANY typing, and tera blast is allowed. I personally LOVED using tera Chien Pao, but I think the objective best is Dragonite. ⬇️

@sallymumble He's got to adopt the tactic of just going for the ball even if he clips the legs at the same time

Someone’s gotta tell him he can’t guard me 😂😤

@og_albina @ultraplayer12 8NHW-WWWW-WWX9-BPM4 that is the battle code if it is still uploaded

@og_albina @ultraplayer12 Snowball Celesteela in USUM cam find the Replay code later but not at home where my 3ds is atm

NEXT DRAFT LEAGUE TWITTER QUESTION (via @ultraplayer12 ) What is the most HEAT set you’ve gotten to work in a match?? Replays for proof so we can watch would be super appreciated. RT ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

@og_albina 100 years too late but had to drop the Godlike team I drafted in my first draft league. Back in ORAS we used some smogon tiers lol. BTW we had species clause... Rotom-Wash Rotom-Mow Porygon2 Crustle Spiritomb Crobat Hitmonchan Magmortar M-Swampert Bronzong Togekiss Somehow 2nd

NEXT DRAFT LEAGUE TWITTER QUESTION: What is the FIRST team you ever drafted. I’ll attach mine, it was pretty awful. I also drafted fly z (remember that two month period when leagues drafted crystals?) It’s always fun to reminisce on when we first started, drop yours below!

@Latsu7 Congratulations Lauri! Go get them in London as well!

7-0, I got the record for my invite - see y'all in London! #PlayPokemon

@Aquarius0727 Trying to say this is not a perfect fix.

@Aquarius0727 I am just trying to say that forfeits are not great and that getting stricter and enforcing them more often might have a negative effect on the experience, a lot of forfeits usually leads do the death of leagues in my experience.

@Aquarius0727 ... also not really seen commissioner force ppl to play the game and given enough time ppl usually find a time. We are all human and some are worse than others to hold times and plan ahead. I do still think most ppl prefer to actually play their games.

@Aquarius0727 I mean you don't need to make the sacrifice in your schedule really the person who missed will have to do with your available options. Also usually when you schedule for early in the week it can be let's aim for X and have Y as a back up it is all about the context...
