some people really wake up like this to use Big Six on ranked battles all day

[Tempo | Pokeaim @JoeyPokeaim]

It's finally here. Hitting Master Ball 1 2000+ rating with a FULL Eeveelution squad! I had to get my boy @JoeUX9 on. Umbreon beating Sneasler. Vaporeon Soloing Psyspam. This video was INSANE! Check it out down below!

GC改めて65位でした。
@JoeUX9 のRegional優勝構築を好みに合わせて少し変えたものです。
良い構築ですが、基本選出に素早さ操作がなく選出のパターンも多いのでそこまで初心者向けじゃないかも？

[Joseph Ugarte @JoeUX9]

@JoeyPokeaim they aren't ready for greatness

I'm gonna make a video discussing this topic soon because I think it's inevitably going to have a huge impact on Pokémon but I've been taking some time to educate myself so I can articulate where I think the major issues are properly

[Joseph Ugarte @JoeUX9]

Different AI bot developers have been asking me to try their new tools or battle their bots and I wanna make it clear I have zero interest. I have no desire to help in the development of these tools and I think they take away from what makes Pokémon enjoyable

[Joseph Ugarte @JoeUX9]

Yes, this is very true, don't run safety Safety Goggles even if it's in the game without Amoonguss so I can continue to click Sleep Powder into you, it definitely won't help you 😉

[Dave Cognetta デス @DesuVGC]

Safety Goggles won't solve the Sleep Powder problem. What you can do with them in this meta you can already do it with Lum Berry Incineroar.

The reason why isn't played it's because it's suboptimal.

Safety Goggles were amazing because Amoonguss was there in the first place

[Joseph Ugarte @JoeUX9]

@mattadome Great job bro!!

[Joseph Ugarte @JoeUX9]

you vs the Pokémon your trainer tells you not to worry about

Late post, but congrats to @JoeUX9 for going back 2 back. Here's a little celebratory art of his unique sand team from Baltimore!

Bro had to win another regional so another art piece to come! #Pokemon

It's finally time, I posted a turn by turn breakdown of the Louisville Regional Finals on YouTube, explaining the thoughts behind my plays and giving insight into what I was thinking during all of it! Check it out if you'd like to learn more about me making VGC history :)

[undefynd @und3fynd]

Huge congrats to Joseph Ugarte (@/JoeUX9) for winning the Louisville and Baltimore regionals!
Very belated fanart of Joe's Baltimore team, and here's to many more wins!
(More 1st place team fanart incoming? Stick around to find out!)

[Joseph Ugarte @JoeUX9]

@und3fynd This looks awesome!!!

[Joseph Ugarte @JoeUX9]

like my sand team, the team report will first be out on Patreon but both teams will be public once I release the video detailing my journey through both runs in Baltimore and Louisville, with the pastes and replicas being provided for free there when it's posted on YouTube :)

[Joseph Ugarte @JoeUX9]

Still in total disbelief, but I am the Louisville Regional Champion!!! It's hard to put into words how incredibly proud I am of my achievement, making VGC history with back to back wins. I'm so grateful I get to play Pokémon every day and wouldn't trade it for anything ❤
