One thing that I think is interesting with Champions is how little predictability we have for upcoming formats.
When we had Scarlet Violet Reg A, plenty of people called Reg B having the Paradox mons because we knew the SV Dex. Champions makes things way harder to guess
Alpha alert 🔥
@MadLads community has always had a deep appreciation for unique art, and @doodles-inspired projects like @Doodlemon151 definitely catch our attention. 👀
only 151 doodlemon will ever exist, bringing a fun mix of nostalgia, collectibility, and vibrant artwork to the timeline. 🌈✨
i can already see a lot of lads wanting to catch one.
would love to see some AL spots for the madlads community so art enjoyers and collectors can join the mint and help spread the word. 🤝
@JR_OnChain
this finals endgame is crazy. Politoed just protected, the perish counter is ticking down, and Cona finds the one convoluted out: encore to force it to double protect (30% chance!) so it can’t protect next turn…. and he gets it!
Me watching Japan Nats: Okay it's not too bad, you can encore them into electroshot so they can't touch garchomp, and play around wide guard here?
> First player clicks encore into arch
> Other player's pelipper clicks soak into garchomp
Oh right. I love Japan Nats so much.
Historic day for @solana:
For the first time ever, HYPE did more spot volume on Solana than all centralized exchanges in the last 24 hours.
This is truly insane, IMO. For an asset that didn't exist on Solana until just a few months ago.
ZEC also did more volume than all CEXes (other than the binance ZEC/USDT market).
BTC also posted almost $200m in 24h volume.
My guess: Solana is going to eat global spot trading marketshare in everything.
First from CEXes for all crypto assets. Then from trad spot exchanges for equities.
Lower fees, self custody assets, fully open & transparent markets that anyone can participate in, and a huge amount of distribution through hundreds of front-ends
This is a winning product formula.
Japan Nationals is a lawless wasteland why did I just see Mega Medicham poison jab a Mega Floette but its ok because the Alolan Ninetales roared out the Oranguru who was trying to set trick room
I love it
JUST IN: Zcash crashes 48% after Claude AI finds critical vulnerability allowing unlimited minting of $ZEC.
It went unnoticed for 4 years until it was patched on June 1st.
BREAKING: Mastercard is introducing always-on stablecoin settlement on Solana.
3.7 billion cards. 210+ countries. One of the largest payment networks on earth, now settling onchain.
I know yall are going crazy about 100% accurate Zap Cannons off a 160 Base Spatk BUT in case you didn't realize this: Mega Raichu X has 90 SpAtk, sets up electric terrain, and gets access to a 140 BP RISING VOLTAGE. So I made the calcs and max spatk Mega X Rising Voltage does MORE than max spatk Mega Y Zap Cannon!
Just saying... My boy is NOT jobless
Meta this, meta that, have you ever meta player so damn cracked he didn't lose a single pokemon in two rounds in a regional finals?
Don't get me wrong, Charizard a demon, but holy shit Arsal deserved that win and then some. Absolute pleasure to watch that set live
Back in this day unless you had a strategy guide you checked regularly or reliable internet access this was blind and I almost pissed myself the first time I saw a level 81 pikachu vs the feraligatr I had leveled up exclusively at the expense of the rest of my party
