Presenting my all time greatest hall of fame entry: 6 full odds shinies at 169:41 of game time. Pretty good considering it’s not like I started the file with that goal in mind. In fact I was in the middle of making my way through Kanto when I first happened upon a shiny.

I’m Mamoswine’s biggest hater but Wolfe is our only chance for an American to win NAIC so I’m conflicted

Still the only player to get to 4-4 with Ampharos in Reg M-A. I’m telling you, trick room is a trap. Tailwind is the way to go.

Pokemon is so funny because someone invested all that time and energy into getting themselves a competitor’s slot at NAIC, lost their first round, and then got paired into Marco Silva round 2

Real old heads all have the Japanese names of the top 10-15 Unova Pokemon rattling around in their brain somewhere, of which the only one that I think crosses over with M-A is Sazandora. (I played singles back then so non-fairy Whimsicott was definitely not top 10)

been reading so many japanese team reports and the format is so centralized that I probably know the japanese names of the top 20 M-A mons at this point

I ran Azumarill at the start of reg M-A before I had really built a team with a lot of thought in it, and it was pretty good which makes me think maybe I haven’t run enough Azumarill in this format yet.

Mono-Psychic attacking intimidator in Kingambit meta is truly insane

It’s a meme that EU players just stick to optimizing the known threats in the meta instead of cooking something crazy, and I get that for the top players but I swear their 1-7 aren’t even trying to have fun

Retroactively inventing a new lifetime challenge called “Go .500 or better at a regional with every fully evolved Johto Pokemon”. Gonna be tough at my current pace of attending one event a season but so far I’ve done:
-Murkrow
-Ho-oh
-Feraligatr
-Scizor
-Ampharos

I was feeling pretty down after the results of the first 6 rounds but the end result of 471st out of 1000 and top Ampharos user checked all my boxes for a success regional. Don’t know when my next one will be but always love the community experience 🙂

Fought from 2-4 to 4-4 in the name of AJ Morton’s resistance 🫡

You can guess why this team was eventually abandoned but in light of recent events here's a sneak peak inside my builder

My main goal for this week was to build an Ampharos team capable of going 4-4 at a regional and no one can say I didn’t succeed

I brought a team that requires me to call every protect turn correctly and I got 3 hours asleep. Glhf to all of my opponents.

Why Anti-Meta Teambuilding is So Hard in Reg M-A 🧵
While I have been having lots of fun with Reg M-A, I agree that it’s felt~off~
For me it’s not Rock Slides or Speed Ties, it’s that many cool Niche Mons have overlapping weaknesses with Top Meta Threats and catch strays (1/7)

In a vacuum I prefer CTS, to me that’s proper Pokemon. However logistically it’s impossible to prevent people from attempting to abuse outside the game resources to access that precious information so it’s better to just give it to everyone to not reward such behavior.

I would honestly prefer to go back to CTS bc I’ve never played official tours that way and it’s classic vgc. However, if we are sticking with OTS, I don’t think open nature is bad.
