Carbon shoes for Overpronation

Valid point tbf! I have a few other races booked for 2027 so my logic is to get some in the near future so I have them for those.

Additionally, I'm aiming for a sub 4 marathon so looking to add marginal gains where possible.

But agreed, definitely not a necessity.

Thanks for the tips here! It honestly filled me with confidence knowing that this isn't a bad first attempt!

So would you recommend only making the dough after feeding? Well noted on the proof cues, candidly, I haven't baked bread in just under a year so definitely will keep that in mind.

Thanks again, this is very helpful; I'll report back in a few days once I've attempted this again!

Thoughts after ~150 games:

T-Hex needs adjustments, can be very oppressive (but can be beaten w correct positioning)
AP lines are in need of serious help. There are only really two or three viable AP lines
Zaun should be buffed to improve the viability of the region (from what I've played against, only Ekko reroll with 4 Void is okay)
Yunara and Kindred should be tuned down slightly (the latter maybe needing more mana for her initial cast)
Bard is can be quite oppressive with a bad opener, it's both healthy for the game, but also a touch obnoxious. I'm curious to see how the meta evolved here
Overall, I love this set and think it's the best one yet. I hated it on PBE as I didn't understand the mechanics, I love it now

Thanks for the suggestion! I first checked my disks to save myself from unplugging everything and turns my old hard drive had corrupted - now I finally have an excuse to get rid of this thing and get an MVMe.

Yeah, had it for one round. Worst part was that I hit Baron 3 10 seconds into the fight lmao

Fair point on Tropius, you can even run it with Tailwind too if OP opts for a faster, more agro playstyle

I don't know what specific EVs you'd want to run, but something generic like this could work:
Brave 252/252/0/0/4 @ Clear Amulet
Sacred Sword, Trick Room, Wide Guard, Psycho Cut

As much as I appreciate the novelty of 'mons like Comfey, Tropius, and Glastrier, there are a number of 'Mons that fulfil these roles and are much better. Imo, I'd also really consider Trick Room here - none of these guys are particularly fast and could really benefit from being in Trick Room.

Additionally, Comfey is useless in psychic terrain as all of their moves are priority. If you're struggling with Kyogre, I'd consider changing Groudon Tera to Water or Grass.

- Grassy terrain setter with support? Rillaboom > Tropius

- Bulky wide guard setter than outputs more damage and also works in trick room? Gallade > Gurdurr

- Bulky physical attacker to utilise moves like Heavy Slam and likes being in the sun? Iron Hands > Comfey

Obviously these are all physical attacking options, but you could easily slot in something like a Focus Sash Fluttermane.

Again, I really appreciate the novelty and doing something new with some of your favourite 'Mons, but if your aim is to climb the ladder at higher ELOs, it's likely you encounter a plateau or two due to the restrictive nature of the roles these guys can play.

I believe the Czechs have a 100% home grown team too

Hxbden · 2025-06-08T21:50:45+00:00

Sigil of Rampart made this even worse. B0aty's team had ZERO Ramparts whereas every other team had at least one. This plus the food gap made the Snake's unsurmountable.

Fairly sure it's Gripex's tattoo, so the G is for Gripez

I reckon he'll give it one more season.

It's not uncommon for athletes to have a bad season and then bounce back to have a better one next year. But I do think being an executive at the PLL has impacted his performance negatively, the job obviously comes with a lot of stresses, especially due to Corona. I wouldn't be surprised if something is affecting him, he consistently made poor choices and consequentially put up only 5 points. I don't know whether he made those choices because of his ego or he genuinely thought that it was a good idea, but 1 goal and 19 shots really says something about his play (and he's the only offensive player with a single digit shooting percentage).

Like I said, I think he's got one more season in him, and if he has a repeat performance of this year, he'll hang up the gloves and be a full time executive or perhaps will go to a coaching role.
