So I maaaaay have gone 12-0 in Pokémon Champions to reach Ultra Ball Tier on Minimum Battles lol. Obviously not a hope in hell of it staying like that, I expect to lose a LOT next time, but I'm stunned at the plot armour on display during those games!

@Griver84 All you need is Sneasler. In Dire Claw we trust~

I uhh, may have enjoyed Silksong a little too much... I could still save over 10 minutes on this if I didn't die twice to High Halls Wave 10, but my goal was sub 2 and I did it!

Here's the final picture from the second Grand Challenge for me! For only playing 15 games this ended up being a super satisfying finish, and the team was pretty fun to play too!

[Calum @gamercal]

Ended up finishing the rest of the day's matches out, went 10-5 overall. Better than last Challenge, which is great seeing as how it was done with Jolteon and Gliscor!

[Calum @gamercal]

Well despite not really feeling it and not having a refined team atm I have done a few battles in the Grand Challenge II lol. 6-2 at the moment, Jolteon is being a menace to society as expected! Played some REALLY weird teams all around though.

[Calum @gamercal]

The team does have issues for sure right now, but it's super cool! In particular Incineroar and Kingambit hurt a ton, and a Rillaboom that gets to Tera Fire is hard to deal with. For a 1st draft though I am very happy, it's a promising start!

[Calum @gamercal]

Man I'm loving every session I play of Reg H atm, gonna be really sad to see this go before EUIC. I built a Jolteon team today based off of a Ryota brew that James Baek showed off and went 7-2 with it. JOLTEON! IN 2024! It came in 7 games and won 6 of them, what a legend.

[Calum @gamercal]

I feel like I've been getting extremely lucky with my teams the past couple of attempts. I've lucked into a 5-mon core that I've fallen in love with and was instantly comfortable with for both last format and this one, and despite not playing much saw instant success both times.

[Calum @gamercal]

I won't be posting the exact team yet since I'll be using it for the Grand Challenge (and a locals coming up this weekend), but I couldn't be happier with the results and the way I'm playing with it! Starting from Great Ball 9 too, these are almost all Master Ball matches.

[Calum @gamercal]

Man I have never had any team in the history of Ranked Ladder have this W/L rate, this is absurd! I AM meant to have 1 more loss though, the Smeargle/Muk/Flamigo player d/c'd instead of taking the sacky win vs my Haze user.

[Calum @gamercal]

@Griver84 Unless they go physical with SD and EQ, Magearna is almost definitely going to be the pick. Resists STAB's, is at worst neutral to Focus Blast (bring Covert Cloak!), and can heal with Calm Mind-boosted Draining Kiss.

This was the last part of Port Town I, the added magnet rails are really brutal with the red bumpers! #FZERO99 #FZERO #NintendoSwitchOnline #NintendoSwitch

What a find! Latios refused to Auto-Battle it, so I checked and... yeah! Used a Master Ball to avoid it exploding haha #PokemonScarletViolet #NintendoSwitch
