Smogon World Cup of Pokemon Champion 2025 with Team Italy 🇮🇹 |
OU Player for Team Italy |
VGC Player for @SaxTournaments

[Pais🇮🇹 @frontman_jf]

Finally hit 2410+ with this team on Pokémon Champions. Really proud of this one: adapting to a new VGC format for an OU player isn’t easy at all. Aiming for Top 10 / 1 ELO before season ends. Might drop the replica next days with a detailed guide if I reach my goals in ladder👀

If only these guys played three times as many tournaments, each of them would have at least one Regional title under their belt. I’m proud of you all, and I could never have asked to be part of a better group to improve at VGC 🎷❤️🎷❤️🎷

WHAT A WRAP FOR THIS WEEKEND IN TURIN!
Lycanroc has showed its value in the metagame with a 7/9 day 2 conversion, a detailed team report is coming later today!
🎷Congrats to all of our players 🎷

@ArtcarVGC @SaxTournaments Fiero di te <3

Top 8 at Turin Special Event. Almost didn't play due to IRL issues, and a bit annoyed by what happened in G1 of Top 8, but it is what it is. Bringing Lycanroc named Zara (my dog) to a major and spending the weekend with my second family was the best decision I’ve made in years.

X/vgc warriors with 2 neurons do war vs GenAI without being able to distinguish AI slop from human made art. As someone who has paid for Blazenix Team Italy logo is really sad to see this shitstorm. VGCers should contact him if they need some art, he’s really a professional.

[MichaelderBeste @MichaelderBeste]

Quite sad that people call this AI slop. Should have given credits to Blazenix ( https://t.co/UVNOkRm0tv ). Phenomenal work as always, keep it up!

First we started with OTS, the skill to figure out information and handle it properly and strategically in a bo3 setting was punished, it also hurt creativity in team building (some people call it "cheese") and now we apparently have to also give the nature information to our opponents in the OTS. I don't like this direction at all. At this point, let's make it fully open and tell me your speed, attack stats and defenses please. The game I loved is dying 😭

[Pais🇮🇹 @frontman_jf]

@Gabers_ No flame bro, but if you think that bullying is not a form of violence then it’s useless to talk about ethical obligation.

[Pais🇮🇹 @frontman_jf]

People harrassing online a guy who just enjoys to play VGC for the AI art are terrible. The same harrassers probably use AI to do a lot of simple and shitty stuff and they manage to burn even more forests lmao

Had the game under control until the usual unreal sequence happened”.
( Grazie chatgpt per il post ) thanks @DubiousBulb1033 @Byte_v24 and @gabryyl_ for help 🐐

[Pais🇮🇹 @frontman_jf]

@izaboy Oh ye surely you can teach me something valuable to increase my experience and my knowledge 😂

[Pais🇮🇹 @frontman_jf]

@Gabers_ 1) Blame Capitalism
2) It is not illegal
3) Any ethical concern against AI is fair, this does not make bullying ok. What I’m trying to explain is that fighting something unethical with any form of violence is not ok. This does not make all the harrassers any better.

[Pais🇮🇹 @frontman_jf]

@SoliSolitaires Not everyone has money to pay artists and Matty gained nothing in terms of value, he did not make any money from that AI art anyway. He’s not a professional or a creator so I do not really get the harrasment

[Pais🇮🇹 @frontman_jf]

@XernMeg Ye surely bullying someone for using AI is the most mature thing to do, said the grown ass human being. Since you’re an invidual who justifies and legitimates bullying your opinion is invalidated. Gtfo my twitter

@JE1850383583740 It is! I played a lot of bo3 with it

@RaincandyLuca Well I think lucario final gambit is not really a real meta pick but I assume you face it when paired with farigiraf that sets up trick room I guess

[Pais🇮🇹 @frontman_jf]

@boobzwithaz @drewmet_FF Respectfully I think there’s a reason if I keep staying consistent with this team on in-game ladder. Surely there’s always margin for improvement but I’m not so sure a team focused on basculegion sneasler gambit can ever be countered with ease ahah

[Pais🇮🇹 @frontman_jf]

Keep grinding with Mega Delphox / Floette + breakers, this must be one of the most consistent archetypes of the Meta rn especially above 2300 of Elo Rating / Champion Tier.
Champions is doing an excellent job to keep me addicted at the game. VGC > Smogon Tiers.

[Pais🇮🇹 @frontman_jf]

@catrachokidd01 I unlocked them I think, let me know if it works now
