What Pokémon hot take has got you like this? I’ll start. Far too often people rely on “lines” and not enough on developing game sense. Part of why I’ve made d2 so consistently is I’ve made weird teams, and people tend to play dramatically worse into unfamiliar MUs.

The real secret to winning at Pokemon is having fun playing the game. Paul Chua has optimized this by playing League of Legends before majors, so even getting fissured will feel like fun in comparison.

People don't realize teams have phases Some teams snowball from an earlygame lead (like caly) Some teams can dish out consistent damage throughout the game (like caly) Some teams can set themselves up in a position for an endgame sweep (like caly) Know the difference

MISSING POKEMON: At the Malmö regional championships around round 8 I was called to the judges for a teamlist check. They then took my Dragonite to the back saying something about a "team sheet error". I have not seen my Dragonite since.

Ladder never has been that much non interesting as it is now. Not playing open teamlist sucks and force you to play in small group if you don't want to reveal your team or stuff you're testing. I wish there was a good scrim platform to play Bo3 OTS with player from other region.
