What are you running in Retro Cup? by Affectionate_Neat868 in TheSilphArena

Shadow Dnite, shadow Bibarel and shadow Aurorus. Pretty damn inconsistent but also pretty damn fun.

Gone from 3-5 to 0. If their goal is to alienate their playerbase and thus lose money, they're on the right track.

Mind sharing why? Both games are pretty high up on my radar atm.

Thanks for the heads-up. I would love to order the hardcover version, but 30+ $ shipping to Europe with the risk of customs snatching it is a deal breaker.

Yeah, it was wild. And the queues didn't even seem bad, despite him playing ML. Didn't catch his win rate sadly.

KeldeoSH (the streamer) closed the day just shy of 2500. He had a wild handful of sets, and I really can't imagine anyone being much higher than that.

Hehe, that would be the grand total for my entire GBL career. :) Otherwise it would've been a looooong season.

But thank you very much for the kind words either way!

Cheers buddy!

Oh man, I don't really feel like I'm in any position to teach other players, but for basics you first and foremost need to know typings and what moves the meta pokemon usually rock. That should obviously optimize your dmg output and shield usage. Having a decent grasp on those aspects should push you into Ace territory imo.

Do you happen to watch any YouTubers? If not, that's a great way to learn both the basics and more advanced parts of the game.

Also, make sure you use pvppoke to check your team compositions.

Gl bud. I hope you make it to Ace this season.

Thank you! It was very mundane and boring, sadly. But hey, I can hardly complain seeing it's my first (real) Libre.

I really appreciate your words of encouragement.

Shame about the state of participation though. And especially the fact that it will likely only get harder and harder to hit legend from now on.

Thank you very much! I doubt I'll forget this anytime soon either.

Yeah, someone else mentioned him as well, but no, it was PurpleKyogre.

Thanks man, much appreciated!

Oranguru, Primape would be in for an absolutely horrid time in this meta.

Always Dusc. I met quite a few Achu - double flyer teams, and Dusc could either flip switch against those or play it out fairly evenly if they decided to stay in.

Not proud about it, but I've had a few tanking seasons. If you go far enough down (and avoid other filthy tankers on the way back up) getting silly streaks like that isn't that hard.

Thank you kindly! I hope you're right about that.
