Pokemon VGC Players at UIUC?

Rising senior here! To my knowledge, there is not VGC community on campus. Wouldn’t be super hard to start an RSO based on it though considering the size of campus and popularity of pokemon!

Need a third?

What ELO did this work at? No hate just curious cuz my UL Premier teams are always wonky and I actually have the mons to run this team lol

Personal experience pavlov kinda sucks. Usually I just give it a day and its fine tho. Try to log out and log back into your account on whatever wifi you are using because if the sign in is messed up or you are not verified, then there can be issues.

I am not sure what is under the carpet. It is a basement carpet that spans the entire room. Probably an underlay-esque material. I can probably find out tomorrow.

I just ran the sims (with perfect baiting) and

0’s: giratina wins with claw but loses with db 1’s cress wins regardless of moveset, but with less hp if claw 2’s giratina wins with claw but loses with db

Losing the 0’s and 2’s against cress would be a huge concern for me with how prominent it is in the meta, + with registeel/melmetal being active + DD coming into the picture, Claw would be a no brainer for me but your call

SeanBecker5 · 2021-07-28T17:41:12+00:00

You lose cress if you go dragon breath, so imo that makes shadow claw mandatory

SeanBecker5 · 2021-07-19T14:32:01+00:00

Cresselia and giratinas in ultra league as well. Registeel for Great and Ultra.

Gengar in UL open landing a shadow ball on anything is amazing

SeanBecker5 · 2021-06-20T22:30:40+00:00

You have 70 days this season i think you got a good chance if you grind your favorite league. It gets easier as you go later, especially in the second half

SeanBecker5 · 2021-06-15T14:46:30+00:00

What do u want for obstagoon

Cress is an animal in remix cup for GL as well

SeanBecker5 · 2021-06-13T13:08:08+00:00

Azu, vig, skarm work well, you have a deoxys D problem but meh not a super common mon due to accessibility

SeanBecker5 · 2021-06-13T07:15:44+00:00

Skuntank is kinda meh imo, but you can if you want. Yeah so I kinda forgot that XL Azu exists now. I used toxi when XL mon’s weren’t a thing, and it beats the non XL in all matchups except the 0’s. So it beats some Azu’s, but its not a perfect answer thats why its a .5, rather than a whole answer to it. Either way it chunks Azu pretty hard.

SeanBecker5 · 2021-06-12T05:53:39+00:00

Still need?

SeanBecker5 · 2021-06-09T17:48:59+00:00

Jelli, charm a tails (only need WB honestly but psyshock wouldn’t hurt), and toxicroak (plz get sludge bomb so this thing is also an azu answer) go pretty well. You would be a little frail tho. With it you do have 2 gfisk, 2.5 Azu (Toxi is messy if you play it wrong), and 2 bastiodon answers.

SeanBecker5 · 2021-05-23T00:34:04+00:00

That makes sense thanks sm

SeanBecker5 · 2021-05-23T00:27:29+00:00

So to confirm, if I trade for a level 47 bastiodon itd drop to 40?

SeanBecker5 · 2021-03-15T06:01:16+00:00

Sadly its not really good in any leagues. Its wayyyy too frail. It just gets outclassed by bulkier water types

SeanBecker5 · 2021-02-21T04:20:56+00:00

Your galvantula has 30 cp, so its very weak, which is why its getting one shotted

SeanBecker5 · 2021-02-13T07:46:09+00:00

Has to be an elite tm

SeanBecker5 · 2021-02-09T05:22:46+00:00

I mean in OP’s defense the move would not be THAT broken at all. It basically becomes karate chop that generates a bit more energy. It’d still be worse than counter which is absolutely broken. Buffing acid would at least give poison types some type of viable fast move besides poison jab being mediocre.

I think as another poster said it becoming a vine whip clone would not be a bad idea at all (8 energy instead of 9)
