It’s so funny that even with pulling out all the stops and giving Mega Blastoise Origin Pulse, Mega Mewtwo X still has to run Zen Headbutt because the physical psychic movepool is so bad 😭

I have no idea what the actual VGC AI discourse is today -- someone promoting some tool or other, it seems. But I think there's a useful framing here that will help you determine if AI should be trusted for a task. "AI" = large language models = text predictors. The models...

Had a crazy run last week peaking at 544th on ladder! Very close to Champion Tier but happy with MB1 after being gatekept twice by hax🤣 May try again but wanted to share because it’s a fun team and I got to use the shiny Dragonite the Former Alpha my friend hunted for me :)

Not going to worlds but if any mutuals who are going want a practice set hmu. Been playing a lot of sun and rain but can pretty much run anything you need prep against!

I’m trying to decide how busted this would be and ngl I’m not even sure it makes MRY the best mega in the format. Certainly top 3 and it would incentivize MRX usage which is cool. But Zard Y may still be #1 that’s how good it is lol

An ancient war is briefly depicted in Lucario and the Mystery of Mew, showing a large-scale conflict between human kingdoms that fought alongside their Pokémon At the center of this conflict was Sir Aaron, an Aura Guardian who fought with his loyal partner, Lucario

@burnerusmntJul 6

The Burner has a theory around the Balogun suspended red card situation but we are not sure the liberal media is ready to hear it: Dominos claimed to give away $1 million worth of free pizza if a US player got a red card, they saw what happened and knew they couldn't financially undertake that burden, so they put a call in.

On the real tho they need to take encore away from Whimsicott. Prankster Tailwind with dynamic speed is very annoying but there are still ways to play around it. Unfortunately, the majority of those ways are shut down by prankster encore lol

WhimVGC@WhimsicottVGJul 6

I think one of the biggest reasons champions has been pretty bad so far is because of dynamic speed tailwind. Without consistent defensive tools (Dynamax HP doubling, Tera) it’s very hard to stop fast tailwind without using it yourself. Lets the top mons function WAY easier.
