Here’s the team I used to go 10-5 at the World Championships this weekend! It was an incredible experience, and I’m going to put some of my thoughts in this thread…

- casual players are about to learn very quickly that legendaries are not why they are bad at vgc
- bro my own pokemon are on twitter talking shit 💀I got my ass beat bro I’m not posting that shit
- The Pokémon World Championship is made for people who couldn’t care less about competitive pokémon at the expense of players who put their heart and soul into this game.
- love him or hate him wolfe winning is good for vgc
- I MADE DAY 2 KYUREM IS GOATED I DONT EVEN NEED TO CHOOSE MY MOVES ON TIME LETS GOOO
- Cactus + L + Ratio
dondozo is truly the worst thing game freak has ever come up with - some of my students found the video of my Orlando Top 4 match and my classroom has become a real life youtube comments section… 😭
- Here is your Gen 9 puzzle debut! For any new solvers, the rules are simple: find the only way to win 100% of the time. If you want a challenge, try to find it in the 45 seconds you have for move selection in-game. Comment and RT when you’ve solved!
- Clear Amulet Hatterene. Lots of talk about why I used this, people saying it must be to stop parting shot from switching Hatt. That’s exactly right. Except it doesn’t work. Magic Bounce activates first. But be honest… would you call the bluff and use parting shot anyway? 😎
- the great irony of competitive pokemon is that the players who want to use creative pokemon aren’t good enough to, and the players who are good enough to use creative pokemon prefer not to.
- remember if before a match your opponent asks you a question like how long you’ve been playing or if this is your first regional it’s optimal to lie.
- back to the basics - one turn, 45 seconds to solve. win the game. assume no crits. kyurem is faster than palkia.
