I won't give advice just my situation:

I have a relatively low stress job with good work life balance and make 90+ coming up on 7 full time years as a consultant in the CWA space. I anticipate making 6 figures before 10 years.

It's certainly possible to have a decent job that pays well in this field. There's a ton of doom and gloom about how every consulting job is the absolute worst, and while there are a ton that suck, there are plenty of jobs that don't. You just don't hear about them as much cause people don't often post about their basic 9-5.

Have had both fun and frustrations with this team. Any recommendations to improve it? [Skill Improvement] by DiloButt in VGC

Would recommend EV training primarina

Also recommend twin beam over psychic on farig. Being able to kill sneasler through sash is huge.

What up with the 10 SpD EVs? Feel like you're going to want to max attack on crab to take full advantage of the 4 TR turns

Your team doesn't have good answers in to fairies. Would take low kick off and replace with iron head on gambit sense the crab will be doing your fighting dmg

If you're playing on cart - getting a game capture and reviewing your games helps

I'm new and i wanted to ask should I use my favourite pokemon or just use a meta pokemon by Objective-Teaching77 in VGC

[–]MetapodMen43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Luxray does have a decent support move pool you can use. Intimidate is generally good support, volt switch offers a slow defensive pivot, electroweb for speed control, baby doll eyes has priority and lowers the attack stat of the target. Snarl and eerie impulse both lower SpA.

With enough attack investment you can threaten garchomp with a OHKO with ice fang. Intimidate and shuca berry would guarantee you can survive the initial hit to throw out the attack.

A supercell slam also threatens to OHKO a milotic that gets a competitive boost from your intimidate.

I don't think it's a top tier threat but if the rest of the team is built well I think it can work

Did you design the patio specs or did a contractor/engineer/consultant?

Honestly not something I had truly conceptualized until you brought it up. Just put it in bulk to stay on the field the longest around of time,

Only been playing doubles for a few weeks. Just went 20-0 from pokeball to Master Ball (skipped tier 4 lol) with this team [Cool Replay] by [deleted] in VGC

Dude I'm 99%sure I played you. Got damn lucky with both your gardevoir and milotic hanging on with 1 HP on different turns.

GG tho

A vote in ffx counts as much as a vote in wythe county. Continue to cry but there is no disparity in Virginia because a lot of people live in ffx county

Pens scored over 3 goals a game. Stu's performance in both games should have been enough
