TXC2: Giraffes gonna do some necking for dominance
ArtDecoSunburn: @flouncy_magooo "A-choo, Caped Crusader!" (Flings damp tissue)
FurthestChunk: it is wild to me how much of a terrifying threat Mega Blastoise is
drexciya808: my little brother is a grown ass man and still has the nickname bulbasaur
drexciya808: because he is cranky and plantlike
FurthestChunk: White Herb Venusaur???
ArtDecoSunburn watched 75 consecutive streams and sparked a watch streak!
MrBibz: Lots of mons got a nice glowup in this game
MrBibz: For Leaf Stoem
MrBibz: Storm*
FurthestChunk: oh right i forget that's a button you can click
Juliamon: Torkoal is such a tiny lil guy lol
jwholla: is there a game that wheeler doesn't know?
FurthestChunk: the only two moves i normally see out of Venusaur are protect and sleep powder
MrBibz: Double protect in front of farig is wild to me lol
FurthestChunk: Time for a real as per my last email type move
drexciya808: Ulmer would be a cool Pokemon name
FurthestChunk: no there's still a chance for the wake-up on turn two
MrBibz: It's not always 2 turns
Pywodwagon: no, you can wake up on turn 2
Pywodwagon: they just took away the ability to sleep for three
Pywodwagon: there is no sleep clause in vgc
Pywodwagon: you can sleep an entire team
ElektroTal: i appreciate them making a pokemon just for the comp folks, but boy howdy is it not for me
chaos5896: criminal
MrBibz: Chunk, pywo, and i getting successfully youtube comment baited lmao
FurthestChunk: the level of autism in this backseat dog

Croc64: mr the uncle
A_Dub888: Blastussy
Pywodwagon: give us the unite blastoise outfit
flouncy_magooo:
@A_Dub888 
TXC2:
that Blastoise looks so small 
younzable: is that just eruption mega water spout
MrBibz: There are size variations in this gamd
FurthestChunk: Alpha Blastoise would be huge tho
MrBibz: If they had a former alpha stoise it would look bigger
ElektroTal: man, they just had the matchups, eh
TXC2:
given that the 90's was the economic peak of Japan, did not the children also reach their peak sizes? 
SymphonySolstice: knowledge gathering gamble
MrBibz: Double protect into farig is sooo wild
Hangedman: can def be a good way to mix people, esp if you plan to switch
Omthebox: Gambling the whole game turn one is classic pokemon
FurthestChunk: this is why i like lum berry on Incin
flouncy_magooo: @TXC2 Funnily enough yes. Average Japanese leg sizes grew with the introductio of Western-style chairs.
loufghyslaufey: Mega Toise mood be like: "Yeah, Wut Chu Got, Trainer? Watchu got?"
jwholla: lack of items enabling double megas on the team is really interesting

FurthestChunk: opp's team is here to activate wheeler's neurons
drexciya808: trainer poses get me every time
flouncy_magooo:
@TXC2 Could also be a factor. The chair thing is just a weird fun fact that stuck with me 
TXC2: flouncy_magooo as it should
Pywodwagon: lots of it!
Croc64: LMAO
SymphonySolstice: LMAO
ChroniclerC: LOL
Croc64: easiest t1 of our LIVES

FlargBlarg: highlight reel
MrBibz: LMAO
Juliamon: No one runs like Gaston
Omthebox: And this is master rank huh
TXC2: ElektroTal sure did
lightfut: Lol punt quit
drexciya808:

FurthestChunk: I mean that Rotom was def scarfed so it was deeply useless there
ElektroTal: (wait, so what happened, they used moved that whiffed and then bailed? i missed it)
jwholla: oh no aerodactyl. rock slide, my nemesis
TXC2: I do that during like 1/3 of my Brawl games, so I have no legs to stand on
Croc64: @ElektroTal yeee, their charizard got fake outed, there rotom overheat missed
FurthestChunk: @ElektroTal basically yeah, and the trick room screwed them over
TXC2: ElektroTal Ben used trick room, opp conceded
Cptasparagus: Oko is in this game!?!?
drexciya808:

FurthestChunk: Yeah the moveset is almost always protect/tailwind/rock slide/wingbeat
drexciya808: this chat cracks meup to no end
drexciya808: in the best way
younzable: we got that snow boost
FurthestChunk: Mega Launcher does bullets and bombs
GrathXVI: I thought the head games were during Cursed Tetris?
TXC2: "how many layers of trick room are you on my dude?"
Croc64: "does this throw the game?" "maybe~" the best part of pokemon
jwholla: what is kingambit sitting on?
KaleidoscopeMind: that is one spiky boi
FurthestChunk: just a small crumb of throw
drexciya808:

FurthestChunk: no no no this trick room will do it
Croc64: trust the process
Chrolikai: this is some combination of good or bad. we'll determine which at a later time
jwholla: trick room seems very convoluted
Paranundrox: well yeah, Aura Sphere can't miss
FurthestChunk: focus blast has a cool animation
MrBibz: Psychic horse is very funny since it doesnt kill exactly Focus Sash Sneasler, which is what Twin Beam is for
MrBibz: Don't fake out into horse
jwholla: i have major respect for a player that just clicks on the attacks
TXC2: Giraffes are shockingly distant from horses actually
FurthestChunk: psychic is the normal move though because Sneasler is honestly not a huge threat for Farig in my experience
MrBibz: I'm aware it's a giraffe i have eyes
FurthestChunk: honse is a state of mind
drexciya808: ungulates are a spectrum
Paranundrox: Armor Tail only stops us from using it on them
Croc64: L M A O
FurthestChunk: oh yeah blastoise gets fake out
Croc64: The tech
MrBibz: Yeah Blastoise has Fake Out, that got me one game
MrBibz: It's wild
Pywodwagon: any pokemon wrestling coded can learn fake out
Croc64: Its started being more popular over the last few days
Crowbears: fake out blastoise to help set up trick room has been going around
Paranundrox: someone doesn't read the Champions channel smh
A_Dub888: oh yeah, I’ve experienced Fake Out Blasty. it’s wild
FurthestChunk: I guess Blastoise is in the Asshole Category of Pokémon
MrBibz: It's the most jump scare Fake Out in the game
drexciya808:

FurthestChunk: Because it's probably not in the Cat Category
Croc64: @Paranundrox historically he might not know we have that
LRRbot:
If you see something funny or particularly noteworthy, make a Clip of it! Your clip could appear in a fortnightly video or be seen at https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clips (Please give your clips descriptive names if you want them to be seen!)
drexciya808: bruh
FurthestChunk: hyper voice incoming
drexciya808: that was ruff
MrBibz: Aura sphere dark pulse water spout fake out is a pretty standard build rn
MrBibz: Maybe protect instead
swaggytaco: it gets fake out as an egg move from ludicolo
MrBibz: That's so funny
FurthestChunk: blitz gets stab
younzable: blitz for the stab
Croc64: LMAO
FurthestChunk: oh my god
SymphonySolstice: excuse me
drexciya808: LMAO
Croc64: Oh my *GOD*
A_Dub888: wait
MrBibz: "My dancing dad taught me to hit people"
Pywodwagon: absolutely gamed on
Paranundrox: Rain Dance Trick Room Psychic and something
noSmokeFire: absolutely galaxybrained
TXC2: oh come on
shoktile: I don't think it can hit you though
draftsynthesis: that is so heads up lmao
Croc64: This is one of the games of all time
Cinnabat: YEAAAH
Juliamon: THE BURN PROC
Paranundrox: so maybe not Hyper Voice
Juliamon: this match is wild
Croc64: This is such a ROLLERCOASTER
ElektroTal: what the hell
TXC2: the turns, so twisty
A_Dub888: weather ball?
jwholla: i got to masterball by just clicking tailwind + rock slide on aero and having mega floette light of ruin things into the dirt.
A_Dub888: nvm
Croc64: Its just that EASY
shoktile: That's crazy
FurthestChunk: rain dance is so wild
MrBibz: Lmao
drexciya808: yea bra
Crowbears: they fake out trick room turn 1 then rain dance and spam water spout
Crowbears: its scary if they get going
MrBibz: I think oppo's build is far too lost in the sauce
FurthestChunk: blastoise doesn't need the rain though lmao
FurthestChunk: it just kills them
Paranundrox: they can open Blastoise Giraf and Fake Out Trick Room/Rain Dance I suppose
MrBibz: Helping Hand just does what rain does lmao
ElektroTal: what was the raindance even for??
Paranundrox: yeah Helping Hand seems a little redundant in that set
Paranundrox: @ElektroTal Water Spout Blastoise
FurthestChunk: rain gets you a 50% damage boost on water moves and a 50% reduction on fire moves
MrBibz: @elektrotal They couldn't hit the incin with any of their moves which is why they did it then
Omthebox:
To help 
ElektroTal: lol
KaleidoscopeMind:
the rain dance was to make it humid 
Mindfire13: To help with the quad resist
drexciya808: style points
FurthestChunk: amongst other smaller things
Croc64: good day to have a low speed stat
A_Dub888: everything’s coming up trick room today
FurthestChunk: shiny mega drampa huh
MrBibz: Oranguru is so scary
Paranundrox: Trick Room or Tailwind, pick your poison
Crowbears: hard trick room is pretty rare rn
FurthestChunk: god what was that incredible clip with instruct from the other day
Invitare: really hoping Incineroar doesn't make it into Gen X. It'd be nice to have a break from it
MrBibz: Saw someone call Tail Room teams "Trick or Tweet" which is real good
FurthestChunk: Incineroar is unfortunately now the VGC mascot
shoktile: Drampa has drizzle as it's mega I think right?
drexciya808:

FurthestChunk: @shoktile no? It's Berserk
MrBibz: @furthestchunk the instruct Electrocell Slam or w/e into a protect
FurthestChunk: @MrBibz yeah that's what it was
FurthestChunk: Mega Drampa hits like a truck but is mega slow
A_Dub888: @FurthestChunk if it had drizzle, I’d windmill slam that onto my rain team
drexciya808: crashin
shoktile: Ah, I remember it being rumored it would be drizzle, I just never saw what it actually was
FurthestChunk: there is a funny gimmick with speed swapping onto drampa
drexciya808: value
jwholla: i dont know the speed tiers of these pokemon
A_Dub888: I’m thinking either E-web or volt switch on Rotom
Crowbears: it makes it repeat its last used move
Paranundrox: the original pokemon does the same move again
FurthestChunk: There is no way they're electrowebbing inside Trick Room
Croc64: what are they cooking
drexciya808: brute force
FurthestChunk: @Croc64 unflavoured pork and frozen potatoes
Omthebox: BOTH!?
Paranundrox: hahaha
Juliamon: THE DOUBLE
Croc64: GAME OF SKILL
MrSarkhan: WHAT
Crowbears: no shot
Dog_of_Myth:

draftsynthesis: holy shit
Wolfstrike_NL: the 1% !!!!
TXC2: EDGE
MrBibz: OH MY GOD
Croc64: FEEL THE ICE ON *YOUR* SKIN
FurthestChunk: oh that's gotta be a concede
KaleidoscopeMind:

draftsynthesis: gameofskillnoluckinvolved
Paranundrox: opponent gonna need a new Switch after this
Omthebox:
That's not okay 
Manae: This is better than the double protect yesterday
drexciya808: GG
noSmokeFire: I love incineroar frozen in the heel pose
MrBibz: Silly blizzard button
MrBibz: Incin can thaw itself if it has blitz
shoktile: I think flare blitz auto thaws right?
drexciya808:

Wolfstrike_NL: 10%
chaos5896: Chill out, Mr. Freeze
drexciya808: Dine on icicles! stay cool!
Croc64: set up trick room: have a faster team, worlds strongest true combo
MrBibz: Freeze only lasts 1 or 2 turns in this game though
TXC2: so a double hit is a 1% chance?
jwholla: ben is just the best pokemon trainer in the world
MrBibz: It's not infinite anymore. Maybe 1-3 actually
FurthestChunk: You can thaw on the turn you get frozen in this game
Juliamon: Credit to opp for not giving up after that brutal demoralizing Blizzard
Omthebox: True
Omthebox: That's showcasing some good mental
FurthestChunk: But yeah sometimes you get hit with the slot machine
A_Dub888: does that M stand for Mega, Magma, or Maxie?
TXC2: a Sleipnir build
MrBibz: @a_dub888 yes
CaptainSpam: Give 'em THE FISH
FurthestChunk: that camerupt is about to see god
Officinalis: Why does camerupt have Mario's hat but Wario's demeanor?
drexciya808: so long and thanks for all the fish
MrBibz: Ground not rock
drexciya808: oneshot
A_Dub888: it’s base ability is Solid Rock (probably)
jwholla: energy ball did more damage than i expected
FurthestChunk: I mean it's neutral and Mega Obama has Big Number
Pywodwagon: resisting the urge to counter queue and put you in the perish dimension
CaptainSpam:
Remember the inspiring sayings on the walls of the Moonbase: "You have good luck for future ref". 
drexciya808: gg gwen stacy!
cmdrzellgaudis: No disrespect. But definitely more ITYC Pokemon Champions streams
Omthebox: That's not low
cmdrzellgaudis: This is perfection
FurthestChunk: croc get in the queue and introduce them to The Boy
Crowbears: 132
A_Dub888: @cmdrzellgaudis you’re perfect
MrBibz: The big terror
Paranundrox: why do all their shinies look sick
drexciya808: @A_Dub888 no u
FurthestChunk: Milotic is so good
Crowbears: the new milotic set people are running on this team are demonic
MrBibz: God that's a terrifying team lmao
MrBibz: Milotic with Coil and Hypnosis is so funny
Omthebox: Milotic is always beefier than I expect
Wolfstrike_NL: Maus + a gravity user is a lot of fun for guaranteed 10-hitter in doubles
FurthestChunk: I'm playing a Milotic that participates in society rather than these evil coil hypnosis things
Crowbears: coil + hypnosis + muddy water
TheOneInquisitor: Milotic exists to scald and icy wind not any of those weird newfangled tricks
FurthestChunk: This is not a place of honour (non-derogatory)
Cptasparagus: this is not a place of honor
Cptasparagus: @FurthestChunk same
FurthestChunk: Charizard is a short king
TXC2:
I look at Milotic and my brain reads it as "mil-low-tich" 
A_Dub888: @TXC2 same
FurthestChunk: @TXC2 okay pchal
Crowbears: a classic
MrBibz: Outplayed
FurthestChunk: oh they're a 2026 potter fan
FurthestChunk: kill them
MrBibz: The Camerupt being just a Charizard kill button is very funny
drexciya808: sendin
SymphonySolstice: this one right here officer
FurthestChunk: lets go cam'rupt
A_Dub888: Mega V?
A_Dub888: nope
TheOneInquisitor: Venusaur from behind will never be funny
CaptainSpam: I'm not up on my Pokemon games, and I got here late; is Champions just non-stop battles against other players?
FurthestChunk: @CaptainSpam It's the online PvP yeah
CaptainSpam: @FurthestChunk Gotcha. Honestly, I definitely respect that.
Croc64: theres NO justice
TXC2: also this is ranked ladder, so this is the sweaty gameplay
draftsynthesis: game of skill no luck involved?
FurthestChunk: The 1% giveth, the 1% taketh away

hippocampus_missing: I don't know how I feel about "big boyfriends white herb"
TheOneInquisitor: On the other hand, blue umbreon
FurthestChunk: my shiny fox collection disagrees
SymphonySolstice: kind of incredible how so few shinies are actually good looking
TXC2:
do shiny pokemon curl up like foil mtg cards? 
MrBibz: Shiny Charizard is objectively dope, one of the few gen 1-3 shinies that was purposefully designed and not just colorshifted
jwholla: i love how camerupt is just hiding the venosaur completely
Pywodwagon: also shiny mega gengar is goated
MrBibz: And I'm a Charizard hater
FlargBlarg: @Pywodwagon truuue
Mindfire13: Shiny Hunting streams are just Just Chatting streams with extra steps
TheOneInquisitor: @TXC2 They print all shiny mon in japan
TXC2: TheOneInquisitor ah, of course
jwholla: i beeeeelieve
FurthestChunk: shiny Delphox, shiny H-Zoroark and shiny Ninetales all fuckin' rip
SymphonySolstice: wtf
Crowbears: brother
Croc64: L M A O
Omthebox: Paying for the double freeze
Paranundrox: Brightpowder Venusaur /s
FlargBlarg: revenge of the 1%
draftsynthesis: bro does that venasaur have bright powder
MrBibz: Does it have bright powder?!
FurthestChunk: Camerupt you gotta stop drinking on the job
A_Dub888: this is karma for that double freeze isn’t it?
SymphonySolstice: thats xcom baby
VanGoyo90: Karma for the Blizzard
Cavemanhar: xcom accuracy
KaleidoscopeMind: is exposing your sneasler on stream against TOS?
FurthestChunk: As per my last email
TheOneInquisitor: Guaranteed wake up now
TheOneInquisitor: Champions nerfed sleep like that
TheOneInquisitor: Good tbh
drrek0: They nerfed sleep in Champions right?
Croc64: cat locked in
SymphonySolstice: the dream isnt dead
FurthestChunk: is this not the gameplay you want wheeler
Croc64: but it would be REALLY funny
Paranundrox: it was Protect, miss miss, right
A_Dub888: yup
MrBibz: They missed the wave on incin too, para
FurthestChunk: para it was protect AND miss
MrBibz: On the protect turn lol
Croc64: yeag lmao
TXC2: right chat I'm off
Croc64: lady luck smiled on them and it still wasnt enough
CeridwenCoeur: Balancing the scales for that 1% double freeze
Crowbears: this is more hard trick room teams than ive run into all week
TXC2: Goodnight everybody, and thanks for streaming Ben and Ben
TheOneInquisitor: Trick room mirrors are funny
Mindfire13: Mimikyu wit the 96 base speed
FurthestChunk: conkeldurr is terrifying
Pywodwagon: conk in a no flame orb/life orb world is insane
Croc64: @Crowbears genuinely what is happening on the ladder rn lmao
SymphonySolstice: das conk crete babey
TheOneInquisitor: Big game of chicken around who will/wont set the room
MrBibz: Torkoal/Mega Scizor is a funny duo
FurthestChunk: I've been seeing a lot of trick room myself tbh
MrBibz: Yeah i see trick room like 1/5 games
MrBibz: No life or status orbs
drrek0: I would expect them to add some of them back as we go forward
Pywodwagon: item exclusions are the weirdest part
FurthestChunk: They gave us like the full berry selection and then like, the baby items you use for the first four hours of the game
Mindfire13: There's Bright Powder but not Life Orb? WTF are these item choices?!
MrBibz: Honestly this would be a cool lineup of items without Bright Powder and Quick Claw lmao
Pywodwagon: no AV, no Lorb, no Cloak
MrBibz: Like those two make everything look so much worse
MrBibz: I'm glad AV isn't here arch doesnt need more help
Crowbears: @MrBibz and incin
KodeMage: What happened to STS2? It's still April, isn't it?
younzable: we got oran berry to get that 10 hp
Croc64: @MrBibz they help provide hype moments for more casual players tbh lmao
FurthestChunk: @KodeMage wheeler played all five characters
Croc64: I still miss my toxic orb tho
Invitare: Giraffes are the natural predator of weasels
FurthestChunk: They should add the cool niche items before the obvious good ones imo
MrBibz: @croc64 i think they equally make frustrating moments for new players lol
FurthestChunk: I want a meta with Mirror Herbs and shit but not Life Orb
KodeMage: @FurthestChunk ok? that doesn't explain anything?
Juliamon: KodeMage They don't always specifically devote a month to a game
Paranundrox: jeez
Paranundrox: that did a ton
KodeMage: lame
FurthestChunk: Adamant Sneasler hits like a truck
younzable: the crit as an insult to injury
Paranundrox: Hyper Voice to avoid the King swap?
FurthestChunk: dog we had five streams of StS2 that's more than most things get
Crowbears: bug bite mayhaps
younzable: bug bite might kill
Pywodwagon: berry heavy meta
FurthestChunk: wide guard conk??
TheOneInquisitor: Bug bite actually getting incidental value in the limited item set is crazy
TheOneInquisitor: @FurthestChunk So much random shit learns wide guard and I'm always overjoyed when I see someone use it tbh
Paranundrox: we are CC defense dropped
Invitare: -2 def
FurthestChunk: it's less that I didn't know it got that, it's more that it feels wack that it's running it
younzable: protect heat wave should win it
MrBibz: Wide guard is so good in this meta
FurthestChunk: If they can kill the camerupt protect would ruin us
FurthestChunk: camerupt lock in bud
Pywodwagon: supreme overlord almost never run in doubles
Crowbears: gambits are like 95% defiant in doubles
MrBibz: I did see it once and it was terrifying
Pywodwagon: also only ever a max of three, and usually only 2 dead mons
Paranundrox: nah just a range
Throgani: This is hilarious to listen to when you haven't a clue what's happening
MrBibz: Fuckin rip
TheOneInquisitor: Supreme overlord doesn't happen when teammate dies, just on entry, no?
Croc64: now that's just unfortunate lmao
cmdrzellgaudis: GG
cmdrzellgaudis: Break time baby
Croc64: the classic miss heat wave commercial break LMAO
Croc64: dog its ROUGH out here
FurthestChunk: we gotta get camerupt some contact lenses
MrBibz: Okay bye bye everybody

Crowbears: big snipe
cardgamerguy: twin beam is underrated
PremiumGas: Ooooooo boy
Crowbears: 1/3
FurthestChunk: Could be the calm mind set, could be the light of ruin set
Crowbears: its either protect + 3 fairy attacks or calm mind gleam and moonblast usually
TriseAlpha: MegaFloette
Crowbears: its a fuckin nuke but it takes 50% recoil
jwholla: yeah its xerneas but with a big flower
Pywodwagon: light of ruin is a unique move for it
Crowbears: thats light that burns the sky or w/e i think?
FurthestChunk: No, Light of Ruin is Floette's thing
VersatileTactician: Light of Ruin is Floette's signature
TriseAlpha: like the Beads of Ruin, Vessel of Ruin, etc.

Jocario: you can spec it to live dire claw, yeah, usually its a roll on jolly 32 dire claw
TriseAlpha: Kinda
Pywodwagon: it is the mega of that eternal flower floette
Crowbears: 87 defense so its not super physically bulky
Crowbears: its crazy special bulky tho
Crowbears: mega chimecho trick room hell yeah
VersatileTactician: trick room set
frozenphoenix7: Normal Floette doesn't Mega(because Floette still evolves into Florges), but Eternal Flower gets to because special
Juliamon: ooh mudsdale
Pywodwagon: this is boomburst spam with chimecho and konmo-o
FurthestChunk: Honestly Z-A's megas aside from like a couple were wall to wall bangers design-wise
Pywodwagon: soundproof konmo
Jocario: no overheat is single target
Jocario: 130 base power and drops your SAtk by 2
Crowbears: overheat is single target and drops your spatk
FurthestChunk: Eruption doesn't hit your teammate
cmdrzellgaudis: single target
Pywodwagon: overheat is single target
shoktile: Overheat can also miss
Cavemanhar: mega chandelure has shadow tag
Crowbears: theyre probably trick rooming
PremiumGas: Ally Swap or Trick Room Chand?
Jocario: no levitate
Jocario: its flash fire or infiltrate
frozenphoenix7: No Levitate. Base abilities are Flash Fire, Flame Body, Infiltrator
Jocario: it could reverse trick room tho
FurthestChunk: That Incineroar is so goddamn small
FurthestChunk: Their Incin is 5'11" and ours is 6'
PremiumGas: ^facts
Jocario: chandi usually has heatwave, trick room, shadow ball
Crowbears: its boom burstin time
Jocario: his SAtk is pretty high like 145
Jocario: base
Pywodwagon: now mecha chime DOES have levitate
jwholla: is the M on its forehead for mega?
Crowbears: mega is solid. it gets steel type + levitate
Cavemanhar: we booming out here

Crowbears: its pretty neat
PremiumGas: Mega Chand had levitate btw
Dr_fragenstien: ok I was wondering that too
Cavemanhar: mega chandelure has shadow tag
frozenphoenix7: Mega Chimecho does. Mega Chandelure still has Infiltrator
PremiumGas: My bad, I meant to say Chimecho Mega. Thanks.
FurthestChunk: @Cavemanhar god i fucking wish
PremiumGas: (So many new Megas have the same abilities as thier base forms)
Cavemanhar: ignore me i read image wrong

Croc64: Tanky tailwinder that also does just. wall some things lmao
Croc64: and the mirror armor
frozenphoenix7: Pretty solid variety between Bulk Up, Body Press stuff, or Iron Head, Brave Bird, Roost, Tailwind. Lots of options for the bird.
Croc64: brave bird and iron head also do match up very well vs some meta teams
Crowbears: mega ttar is good rn
Pywodwagon: when all the really busted megas are gone its a lot better
frozenphoenix7: Mega TTar's still very good, but base TTar is also just good.
Crowbears: it can 1 top a lot of the meta with knock off
Crowbears: 1 tap*

Dr_fragenstien: Change their HP from 100 to 0
Dr_fragenstien: wait it's not ghost anymore?
hd_dabnado: only spread move ive seen is electro web
Crowbears: its water move pool is dookie
Pywodwagon: the rotom forms only get the one type specific move
Pywodwagon: so hydro pump for wash
Mr_Horrible:
what's the visual equivalent of "phrasing"? 
Cavemanhar: the queen is here
Pywodwagon: Tsareena has the same ability as giraffe
Pywodwagon: be warned
hd_dabnado: this feels like a thunder dragonite
Crowbears: yes
civmaster9999:

Crowbears: DAMN
hd_dabnado: spam time
Crowbears: what a read, i was so sure they were kowtowing
frozenphoenix7: I've seen Scarf, Sash, and Sitrus(depending on how offensive vs defensive it's statted)
A_Dub888: AbomaTHICC
Pywodwagon: its amazing how much snow pulled ice up from being the second worst type in the game
frozenphoenix7: Brightpowder is also in the game Wheeler

Pywodwagon: kings rock too
Chrolikai: feels like the good old days of Bonfire of the Damned stealing victory from the jaws of defeat
A_Dub888: Quick Claw on Tsareena?
JKBalch: Ben
Pywodwagon: if I couldn't see your ranking I'd assume yall were in like, bronze tier based on whatever the fuck your opponents are bringing

JKBalch: Or is it Tom of Finland overthere
FurthestChunk: Weather Ball is nearly a tactical nuke tbh
Dr_fragenstien: what's the power on weatherball? Been ages since I've played a pokemon game
A_Dub888: Rain + STAB = real nasty Weather Ball
Pywodwagon: @Dr_fragenstien 100
Pywodwagon: (in weather)
Omthebox: Leftovers in doubles is very much a breakpoint disruptor.
FurthestChunk: 50, unless it's in weather then it's 100 and then in rain or sun it's getting the weather boost
Dr_fragenstien: damn, 100 + STAB + Rain? I'm surprised inceneroar survived, but I guess it's just a peliper
FurthestChunk: Lefties honestly mainly tells me they have sitrus somewhere else on the team
Pywodwagon: they removed the body press from arch so stamina is less terrifying
A_Dub888: Fun fact: On Mega Meganium, Weather Ball is a power 100 + Sun boosted Fire Attack
Chrolikai: an archalodon can't be holding a quick claw thanks to the leftovers notification
FurthestChunk: Archaludon is not amazingly specially bulky
FurthestChunk: Especially in a zero assault vest world
FurthestChunk: hit em with the Farigiraf Blast
h3rsh3yb4r: trump vs obama lets go
FurthestChunk: kinda want to see the scovillain team show up

FurthestChunk: normally people are scamming damage with leech seed and rage powder to force the burn issue
FurthestChunk: it's honestly really funny that they gave mega scovillain big attack stats and people just aren't using them except for like, one Overheat a game

TriseAlpha: ye
Crowbears: chomp usually explodes to floette before it gets to attack but i guess if its scarfed it could work
FurthestChunk: Scovillain now looks naked without the mega
hd_dabnado: Scomegamind
Pywodwagon: when I ran into in ZA I din't ralize it was a mega evo and not just scovillain
Pywodwagon: wow thanks keyboard
