I AM HAVING SOME DAMN FUN
HYPNOSIS IS SO GOATED HAHAHAHA
Missing wisps and losing games but I can't complain
You should have Oblivious instead of Corrosion on Salazzle, no? :0
True
I'm currently getting haxed down the ladder

But I'm also getting rematches who end like this
Yeah can't grind with thus
They all cteam
And learn how to play
I used something similar to this in showdown, sludge wave mega gengar with + 3 spA and speed is demonic
Tilted a lot but it's still great as a team
Especially if everyone on ladder doesn't cteam you lol
Ppl literally added Mons or roar
So when I stumbled upon them I lose lol
I mean that's what my opponents are doing
Someone literally added a freaking opportunist espartha
Showdown ladder be like
Update: 1900 champions on a 10 winstreak

Vs meta sub without floette
(1550 Elo)
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9championsvgc2026regma-2600685367-ldhboobh7yq87a5h43xtp4iygwedsr9pw
Vs Venu version of sun
Poorly played because I anticipated Venu is no bulk
(it wasn't)
Even if they tend to run no bulk imo nowadays
The perish trap mu is unbelievably unwinnable
(usual showdown bs teams that aren't meta and idk what to do)
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9championsvgc2026regma-2600699108-m01tvuw9ut11sm4qw6byugrow4l25qfpw
Vs whatever this is
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9championsvgc2026regma-2600703381-guy4dp9s2qasvjyl5p86nns5pe1bf7epw
Vs mega scovillain
(ik I'm low ladder still)
♥️
How is it going
Against aegislash and gambits mostly
Wow that's surprising to hear
Rain mu is completely free for me
You just reflect tect and disable it t2
And with a +2 floette you always get the scarf
Or walls it under screens if not adap
Yeah just forfeit on preview lol
Team's mu fish anyway
Can't have it all
Calm mind fake out other slot/reflect , hard switch sinistcha tect
Rage powder pass
I mean it works for me
And I OHKO everything with blast so
Bro left
