Huge congratulations to ItsAXN for making Pokémon Go history today! In Pato and Ilqm, he faced the two strongest battlers of the EU and NA season – just to put on a master class and re-claim the crown. The storyline going into Worlds writes itself. Is it 2023 all over again?

I hijacked the @mxchmp.bsky.social stream today to hit the legend rank! The vegan scarecrow sure packed a punch. Also converted a Cup/Challenge double header into 55 Championship points. Maybe they’ll ship me to Anaheim?

OUTRAGE morpeko was the only way i was getting VETERAN rank today !! also i tried a newly built shadow sableye variant today. and we don't talk about the two 0-5's that were also today. the mustard-style pants are final sale!

Shellder spotlight done and dusted! 3k per catch with a star piece – if you've made questionable decisions in building Pokémon for PvP lately, this one is a must play!

I went 8-0 to win a prized tournament, hosted by Haydonus (actual), in the @inadequance.bsky.social server! Ice Bean Claydol, Shadow Clause A/, the other guys are regular. ggs!

me when my Morpeko hits the Guzzlord for super effective damage through a shield

When I envision a strong line for the Scroll Cup, I –

What’s your favorite torch song? #pokemongo

The stats for Torch Song have been datamined – and they're good! - 45 E allows Skeledirge to stack a Torch Song and a Shadow Ball - 70 DMG outclasses similar self-buffing moves such as Triple Axel or Trailblaze - downside: Giving up Disarming Voice will hurt vs some Darks and Dragons

Pokémon Go is getting ready for a new season – and the PvP balance update is shaping up to be one of the more substantial ones we've seen. From Might and Mastery to dominance and diversity, join me on a journey through a new meta, its winners and its losers 🧵

I competed in the European International Championships for Pokémon Go, and it went kinda well! Got 2nd place overall. Did no scrims ever. I think that was good – I didn't learn the patterns of players I wouldn't end up facing. Only lost to P4T0M4N, who's kinda cracked! 🧵

– Bruxfish, de fish helps with bruxfishdefishdefishiency – Lycanroc doesn’t help with much at all, really – there is no Druddigon, the government has been lying to you

where am i ❓

No podcast episode this week! Really wanted to do another EUIC pre-show, but couldn't get it scheduled across time zones. Instead, take this updated Play! Pokémon tierlist for the EUIC meta as a treat. You could build for winning, but you could also build for fun!

Roses are red Octillery's, too my team building sux I'll show it to you

I hope everybody has an enormous Valentine's eve. Here’s a penguin:

When faced with a core breaker lead, 'dile in.

If Bluesky replaced its butterfly with a beaver, it would beavery good decision

Exactly two eggs, they said

Runner-up in Birmingham! Surpassed my boldest expectations after some months of rough results, and picking a team without the super safe Azumarill/Drapion pairing (s/o @dweck.bsky.social). It caught up to me in Grand Finals, but even getting there again is a feat I'm just so proud of. Onto EUIC!

Fierce Frontier faction, formidable fish franchise, fantastic friends: Sharks & Rec are ready to F their opponents up in @battlefrontpogo.bsky.social Legendary tier! Feast your eyes on the roster that will represent Sharks for the upcoming Cycle 4 🦈

Putting the beaver in the sentence "this will be a very successful tournament". Day 2 in Birmingham with a FUN squad!

Not early, not late, but right on time – the Legend rank has been hit! Shadow Palkia, use Awkward Tail! (not pictured)

1st: Shadow Typhlosion 2nd: Stone Edge/Sludge Bomb Clod 3rd: Greninja 4th: Forretress I love my P!P region so much, man. Two weeks to Toronto now 🍁 – one of the spiciest NA regionals last year. Time to get into that Dual Destiny kitchen!

Quick everybody, suggest a Pokémon I could bring to the Stuttgart regional Championship to surprise the competition. Wrong answers only

»It's the most wonderful time of the year...« 🎶 Yes, trainers – we're heading into the move update portion of this Pokémon Go season. People have started their speculations as to which Pokémon might get buffed or nerfed. Let's take a journey through 10 *potential* changes!

since I'm new here: earlier this season. i got on Niantic GBL Leaderboard for the first time in my life, and even got to Top 100. TODAY i finally got the LEGEND Rank, with the same team, in UL!

Good LAIC morning, smol, but growing community! I have stumbled upon this gentleman addressing our new social media platform directly. Reminds me of the 8bit music PoGo Twitch era (I guess not everything deserves nostalgia).

Okay, so, quick question: We do all unanimously agree that posts are called Tweets still, right? The other app stayed Twitter even after being renamed to X, and I don't know what sound a butterfly makes, but I don't think blue insect app gets to change microblogging naming conventions

Moved on to bluer skies! Well, expanded to. Will keep up the regular activity on post hostile takeover Twitter, because I don't feel great about ceding ground until a critical mass of folks has migrated. But going to use this for a lot more casual posting on Pokémon/all the other things!
