THEY DID IT

[Samuel Thompson @samrolthomp]

@MinternVGC @AArca92 @VikramThiagaraj @SlycedBread @Fairteew @UrsakingVGC Friend guard is lost, but it remains a spread move because the Raichu is alive. From this range, whether or not the Basculegion lives is ambiguous-it’s usually a roll from here, but EV spreads determine which is favored. After You Garchomp is more optimal, but follow me can win.

[Samuel Thompson @samrolthomp]

@AArca92 @VikramThiagaraj @SlycedBread @Fairteew @UrsakingVGC The winning scenarios involve Garchomp killing Raichu with its own Earthquake - there are 2 ways to achieve this, the follow me play is one of them but it’s the slightly less optimal one. There’s no way to win if the Raichu gets a double protect, however.

[Samuel Thompson @samrolthomp]

@UrsakingVGC Would recommend, especially if you want your Kingambit to pick up many one shots (OHKOs)

@Conner138382472 never ask Conner what his first Pokemon game was btw

@Madrxd_ To me, it seems like Salamence, Indeedee, and Rillaboom are the notable meta additions - I don’t feel that the rest of the new Pokemon and megas move the needle very much. Sneasler, Kingambit, and Mega Gardevoir are probably the big winners from the update.

@TheIceTable So true, WE are looking forward to seeing @UrsakingVGC on stream when he ages up

@VikramThiagaraj Congrats!! Well deserved win 🐐

[Samuel Thompson @samrolthomp]

Worlds run ended at 5-3, lost the win-and-in for day 2. Had some tough breaks, but still proud of how I played, especially facing a very strong schedule. Got 7th/271 at 7-1 in the VGC open, though, and won full set prismatic! Will follow up with a long list of shoutouts tomorrow.

Swampert rain catching a stray? Nevertheless, this is a good opportunity to use under-appreciated pokemon that you might not even know are in Champions!

Went 11-3 (48th/4254) in the Grand Champions Festival Encore with rain. Didn’t expect to make it to the win-and-in for cut after a 3-2 start. Thanks to @JacobSkraw for hosting another excellent tournament - I enjoyed clicking electro shot for 14 rounds.
