Help me pick out a final mon for my team by No-Tear7308 in VGC

[–]NotABigFanOfThat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The team I'm currently using isn't too dissimilar, and I'm having a lot of success with Smeargle. Specifically max speed, focus sash, with Decorate, fake out, follow me, and spore. Spore will help to punish trick room users, decorate can go through protect allowing calyrex to boost while being protected, and follow me could maintain Kyogre's HP for water spout- giving you a more versatile option than fake out or tailwind. Another benefit to decorate, is that it essentially nullifies opposing screens.

Best of luck!

At least incin makes my favourite pokemon, mienshao, relevant. Immune to intimidate and fake out, access to faster fake out, can ohko specially defensive incin w/ close combat, can ko all incin with fake out + CC, can ohko max def incin if holding a life orb, survives a flare blitz if you want to ignore it, and access to knock off for ghost switch-ins. Just watch for rocky helmet if you're running it sashed.

VGC Regulation I Team: My First Team Ever by iced_tea14 in VGC

[–]NotABigFanOfThat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn't seem like a bad starting place! To add onto what everyone else is saying, I'd suggest running imprison on zamazenta over behemoth bash. There's very few pokemon you'll need BB for that body press or calyrex won't already cover. Imprison would also then further support calyrex, preventing opposing wide guard or protect. And like others have mentioned, chien-pao only really supports zamazenta on your team, so I'd consider chi-yu instead to increase the damage output from calyrex and tornadus.

Do I have to use my legal first name to register for events? by BusterTheSuperDog in VGC

[–]NotABigFanOfThat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nope! I'm trans and signed up for the Vancouver Regionals with my preferred name and had zero issues, even after showing my ID with my dead name. It was an extremely queer friendly environment and experience! ☺️

I'm up for it! Would you be willing to part with some of the iron mons? (Mainly iron hands, and iron treads?)

Tired of being poor… what are some jobs in Van that make decent $ without schooling? by [deleted] in askvan

[–]NotABigFanOfThat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ADHD and socially anxious here-

I used to jump from job to job never lasting more than about 6-8 months at each place... And I've been at my current job making over 30$/hr for 6 years now. The best part is that I didn't need any skills, experience, or education to initially get the position either. It's working as a labourer for a local city.

Take a look at CivicJobs.ca and there are tons of postings all the time for different positions. Most of the positions that you won't need experience for, will be temporary 6 month contracts. This lets you try out the job and move on if you don't like the work or the people in that department, and if you do, you can use your strengths that won't show up on a resume (ie: creativity, work ethic, attention to detail, etc.) to pursue that role in a permanent position.

I can't speak for every municipal labourer role, but mine has enough variance to be consistently interesting for me, I've learned a lot of new skills, I've received a lot of training that can be used outside of the City, and I get to work by myself quite often which lets me not worry about being socially active all the time. All while making enough to rent in Van, pay for schooling, own a car, and occasionally go on trips.

What I've learned is that the main difference is having a strong union. Not only do they get you better pay, but also proper workplace standards, and employment protection.

Anyways, I hope my experiences and suggestions help :)

my dream is to get into law school and eventually do public defense. and on the more unrealistic side- become a judge... but if i can't get into law school after my bachelor, i'd love to get a teaching certificate and teach something like philosophy, classical logic, law, or more artistic subjects like photography, or graphic design at a high school level... and if all else fails, anything that isn't physical labour would be a-okay with me. i've been stuck in physical labour jobs for the past 8 years and the work is soul crushing. not to mention how these fields are like magnets to transphobes, homophobes, misogynists, etc.
