80th at Toronto! Lots to say, but to keep it short and sweet- core was fun and if you pull the right matchups, great things can happen. Shoutout to @45mice for feedback on the changes I made to the team. Enjoy! Pokepaste:

Top 32 San Antonio (10-4)! Was busy with Finals week and had little time to properly prep, so I ended up using a modified version of a team posted on Liberty Note (5th on cart ladder). Credits to @ne5884708 and their group for the original team concept, it was really fun to use!

@Ninijatt1 @Galar_Shitpost @playpokemon Just to clarify- you’re able to go back and forth between SwSh and SV through Pokémon Home starting with the update on the 24th. Any other version previous would not have allowed this. This does come with stipulations- a moveset wipe

@marvinrserrano @SmogonU while I'm not for the ban, I would like to clarify- generation 8 introduced Ally Switch as a TR, increasing the number of mons that get access to the move by tenfold- it's not just a few mons. that being said, it still isn't worthy of a ban.

been seeing all these takes flying around and I’m here to come forth with the most take of all time CTS is not competitive this generation. The introduction Tera is like a 5th move slot. A format where every Pokémon has a 5th unknown variable makes the game drastically unstable.

@MoxieBoosted afaik there is a local in Fall River, MA (~1.5hrs out from Boston) but that's about it. There's another grassroots local I know of, but they typically run on Thursdays, but that is on Thanksgiving so I can't confirm the status on that

@raisedintyo I’m in this position right now and to think that some students are consistently attending events throughout the school year while keeping up with schoolwork, jobs, friend groups is crazy- you bring up a really good question. all i can assume is you have to have your life on lock

@thatguyinabeani yeah! the way i keep focused varies, but it’s a combination of adrenaline, taking breathers when i notice myself spacing, and keeping myself occupied with game nuances (this is a big one). the more you’re able to occupy yourself, the easier it is to focus on the game as a whole
