smartgrove-78 OP

I wanna see your thought process approach

happyknight-58

Sure if that’s what you both want we’re currently building a Staraptor team together but if I need to keep using this one just for some more evaluation on my thought process and battle tactics I can if needed

happyknight-58

This team was mainly to get my feet wet

merrykitten-85

Your feet have been wet for 6 months

merrykitten-85

Get really good at that team please 🙏

merrykitten-85

happyknight-58

happyknight-58

I could get more practice in while I wait

happyknight-58

How many game replays would you like 7 or 10

smartgrove-78 OP

Run 5 bo3 sets

happyknight-58

Normally randos don’t last that long on showdown they’re mostly one and done kinda people

happyknight-58

@happyknight-58 Normally randos don’t last that long on showdown they’re mostly one and done kinda people
smartgrove-78 OP

smartgrove-78 OP

happyknight-58

I’m down if you want to send all the replays you can and we can both evaluate them together

@happyknight-58 I’m not making excuses this is literally past experience
merrykitten-85

You realise there is a bo3 format on showdown ?
