facing @zigbigwig and @Jake W in my final week

im ready for pulverization

 

I'm surprised at how well I've turned my team around but then I remember that I faced both of them in week 1 and I really think it made me look so much worse than I am

 

I just have a battle with @CarpetElf left. No matter what, losing record squad.

 

Standings:
zigbigwig 9-0 - XZ
DerekIsAGooner 6-3
Jake W 4-1
Shrek 5-3
Fucking Dustin 5-3
JRShoenberger 3-5
Garrett L. 3-6 E
Laura 3-6 E
morgantayler 2-4
thenewmatthewperry 2-5
CarpetElf 1-7 E


(This is not in exact order due to people having different # of matches played)

Garrett, Laura, and CarpetElf are eliminated from playoffs

 

My team vs @Garrett L.

I brought Whimsicott to deal with Scrafty, Crawdaunt, and potential hazards. Whimsicott hasn't been great for me so far this year but its OHKO of Scrafty after the Wish proved to be VERY helpful. Ditto did not end up having much viability so I chose to go with Hatterene instead; since I've seen Garrett proc paralysis a lot I wanted Aromatherapy available to heal that paralysis and Nuzzle to turn the tables against Clefable and others. I gave it Weakness Policy expecting a weak steel move on one of Garrett's Pokemon to activate it. The other choices I feel are semi-obvious so I won't go into those as much, but having Prankster setups has helped me a lot in this season and the impact Grimmsnarl has had on my teams cannot be overstated.

MVP: LOBSTERFEST IS BACK (Drapion)

 

@JRShoenberger can you fix my standings on front page I am 5-3 not 4-4

 

@Jake W I think I'm as ready as I'll ever be lol so I'm good to go whenever you are!

 

I'm ready too. my showdown username is jakewwwwwww

 

Showdown! Me vs @Jake W

 

I now see why they are considering banning Arena Trap Dugtrio lol

 

Yeah so y'all quit ranking him a B in the tier rankings

 

It was banned last gen lol. It's ridiculously good

 

@JRShoenberger Jake won

 

i skimmed the matchup earlier today. should be fun, i have some ideas

 

i haven’t seen the match but any pokemon that can trap and has a good offense is scary.

planning vs my match with Dustin and Jake, i took those factors in very seriously

 

no replay?

 

I forgot to save it. Idk if Jake has it or not.

 

Luckily for you Gothitelle doesn't have a good offense haha (especially lucky for you considering we might be round 1 matchups)

 

it can check what it needs to check. i think the stats are pretty decent (esp with Specs, or the free buffs build on smogon).

i remember when shadow tag gengar was a thing. seriously fuck that

 

Ahhh perish trap

 

Regular trapping too but yeah

 

Ah damn I always forget that the matches delete after 15 minutes if you don't save the replay

 

Whenever we do another @EmmanuelSCastle wants in

 

No offense but no offense sux

 

Gothitelle scarfed with trick calm mind stored power and another attacking move is fun to use

Use trick on a wall and gg basically
