Good morning

Assuming I got the count right, removing the JPN players for their own circuit puts me at 505th so +35CP 🥳🥳🥳

Placed 995th in the GC with Mirai + terrain/sunny day Thundurus. Very fun combo that caught people off-guard, especially with Tera ghost Mirai. Mirai/Hands/Hearth core remains goated +20CP (204CP total)

This clearly did not happen…woke up at 8:55am and proceeded to go 7-3 in Professor Kai’s limitless tour 😬

Gonna try and stream on Twitch for the first time in 4 months tomorrow morning! Hopefully my computer cooperates since I’m using a diff capture card. (Also depends if I can get up…it’s at 7am Pacific)

Witness the rise of Don Bastio

Oops forgot to keep posting here…here’s my Reg G 1.0 meteor Beam Eternatus spread as an apology. Used this set for months and really enjoyed it 90% of the time. Absurdly bulky, can live a 252+ glacial without Tera l.

Excited to share our new SoCal VGC logo designed by @mochachiiino.bsky.social !! Our community voted for Ogerpon-Hearthflame as our new mascot We'll be using this logo for our 3rd SoCal VGC jersey and will be taking orders soon!

Congrats to Carter on currently being in 1st for Sac!

👖🍎 Sacramento Hydrapple bottom jeans thread 🍎👖

Prepping for regionals can be overwhelming, especially the week after an International. Let’s look at what’s been doing well, which comps were successful at LAIC, and where the meta is headed going into this weekend. Whether you’re going to Sacramento or not this a must-watch before your next event!

The naming theme I settled on for Sacramento makes me very happy 🍎 👖 Hoping at least a few of my opponents catch on, but it’s harder when you only see 2 at a time.

Sac prep going poorly so I’ve just been on a shitter team kick. Bringing it to a local tomorrow for funsies. Not expecting to do well so any win with this CTS team is a plus 🥳

Slapped at a local with the crushing reality that snow is the worst weather 🥲

Starting to lock in my team for Sacramento. Truly need redemption from my terrible performance at Baltimore (2-6) Practicing hard and hoping for the best 🫡

Went 4-2 (13/51) in the Friday Night Fights tour using Crabominable. Bubbled Top 8 cut since my losses were early on. Crab is harder to use than Glaceon but it def fills a bigger role. Sad I can’t bludgeon things with 130 SpA blizzard tho :(

CRAB GAMING TODAY

✨✨ WINNER RECEIVES A SHINY ORICORIO BAILE STYLE ✨✨

Bailey Bash returns tonight at 7pm PST!! Come join us for some ladder shenanigans 🥳🥳🥳

❄️ Bringing chilly reception to locals this weekend ❄️

OTS for the chilly reception + snow cloak Glaceon team Very fun and very silly. Definitely struggles against some meta teams but making some refinements to get consistency in CTS. Probably too difficult to work this in OTS

[hacker voice] I’m in

Top 8 with the new Toxapex+TatsuDozo team. Definitely as disgusting as it sounds 😇

Using an item on my new team that is probably among the rarest #VGC items: binding band. Multiple people have used the !data function on SD in open team sheet matches against me 😂 Oh my beloved Toxapex I’m so glad you’re back

It’s getting cooler (relatively speaking) so someone doesn’t want to leave the warmth of the couch in the mornings anymore

All dressed up for today’s @pokemonlabs.bsky.social League Challenge!

Very disappointed with the Weezing+Slaking team for GC but it has an interesting core three that could work in OTS: Dragapult, Indeedee-M, and Weezing-G. Lead the first two and you have multiple options on how to pivot or just click buttons. Probs staying Gliscor for OTS for the moment tho

#vgc tournament tonight at 7pm PST! Come join us to test out GC teams before we all lose our minds 🥳

Finished 4-3, top 16 finish out of 90 players 🫡 Gliscor is niche but works when you really need it to. Ironically got knocked out by the only other Gliscor player!

Back to Gliscor gaming for Tommy’s Tuesday tour! Starting off 2-0 🦂

Can’t settle on a GC team…testing results have been very inconsistent

Been testing a Sneasler coaching team for the GC. It’s nothing special, but using the RNG weasel for the first time since EUIC (and not being on the receiving end) has been fun…despite my complaints of facing it 😬 Reg F Sneasler was under the radar and caught people off guard.

2-3 for Gliscor at the Cup and 1-3 for Sunflora at the followup challenge. A bit disappointed but Gliscor definitely felt good.

Rollin’ up to locals with Gliscor this weekend, glhf SoCal 🦂

The dapper boys with summer lurking

Probably the single most popular thing I have ever uploaded anywhere. Made this when I started playing Pokemon Violet and got a Tinkaton.

New app, have a free anti-Sneasler Scizor set. Home grown, local tested, and ready to go
