61st in Nice. Huge shoutout to @MavaVgc for building this crazy team with timid surf raichu X and giving it to me friday evening. I don’t think it was a particularly strong tech but it was fun to play the surfing mouse. Shoutout to @Dysi2404 aswell for running the team with us.

The reason raichu is running 5 spatk timid is because of the hisuian arcanine staraptor teams, surf + blizzard against that lead double ko’s, flipping an otherwise pretty bad MU.

T8 at Nice! Really happy to make it to topcut once again, and with an original team to boot. Huge thx to @OgreVGC for the inspiration, and @NMDanetty @FalconVGC @CiccioVGC for running the team and playtesting.

Online tournaments will mean nothing soon, I honestly think GC’s should be removed cp wise effectively immediately and I feel sorry for the Japanese circuit players who may potentially have to deal with these issues for qualifying under their circuit

The worst part is that differently from chess pokemon doesn not begin from an equal playing field, much of the skill comes from recognizing the strenghts and weaknesses of the opposing team on the fly, but now anybody will know they have an advantage and how to capitalize on it🧵

With all that said, we can't do anything other than advocate for everybody to have equal access to these tools, I don't find it hard to think people were already using such things privately, and sadly the only way to minimize loss is if everybody has an even access to them.

To expand on this, I think the landscape for IRL tours is going to change a lot aswell. Publishing team after day1 should be a no go, as people with private bots can have them run lines vs all of the competitors while they sleep and have precise gameplans in the morning 🧵
I think the genie is officially out of the bottle, the rise of these engines will be revolutionary for the game and change the way we perceive it and prepare for tournaments. That said, I'm a bit worried the game will become very reliant on these tools like chess is with engines

The same can be said for finals of worlds and internats, what people were already doing privately in their testing groups running lines will now be delegated to much more efficient and precise agents. 🧵

This has been kind of a long project, but I built mikumiku37, a self-play RL VGC Reg M-C bot that reached #1 on the Showdown ladder. For now, you can play mikumiku37 by challenging it on Showdown. smogon.com/forums/threads/mi…

Closed Frankfurt regionals in Top 16. I was not expecting such a great finish given the little prep and experience i had with the format. Huge s/o to @FedeCampoVGC for coaching me and helping with gameplans, couldn’t reccomend him more. @Aminkopok1 for prepping with me and

Do you guys remember when people claimed they would make constant patches and balance updates to the champions formats? 😂 Turns out they can’t even design a format from scratch let alone fix one

We proved that we can compete in the biggest stage this weekend in SF! @Byte_v24 starts with an incredible top 32! Then @NMDanetty follows with a good top 256. Last but not least @RubenVGC2 from the queue with a top 3 stories for two truths and a lie. See you next season! 🎷

American Pokemon fans didn't bring up safety concerns about holding Worlds in the US with ICE killing and kidnapping people but they chuck a tissy over Singapore being unsafe because they can't go a week without weed or vape
