sure, also still free to play later and tomorrow just in case your schedule opens up.

 

I might be able to battle tonight, so long as I get out of work at a decent time. I can let you know in a couple of hours.

 

yeah. Losing out this week wasn’t good. I think I have a good chance of going 4-0 or 3-1. But that might not be enough.

 

Maybe I can go 1-3, MAYBE 2-2 if I'm lucky.

 

Idk what I'll go but I've had a lot of fun

I've used some Pokemon I dislike and learned to like em, and used some I've been curious about and have felt one way or another on them, and it's been fun just doing new things and having a ton of people to play with

 

@zigbigwig Are you free to battle in 30ish minutes?

 

my team is ready. Let me know if you have any time tonight.

 

oh yeah i can play

 

that is great timing i responded exacty 30 minutes after that post lol

 

Ready when you are. I have the same name on Showdown.

 

do you know if showdown is case-sensitive? it says your are offline. i have the same ign too

 

This is weird. I can find you but it won't let me challenge.

 

vs



Let's go! Showdown!

Replay: [Gen 8] Ubers replay: Zigbigwig vs. DerekIsAGooner - Pokémon Showdown

 

@zigbigwig with a very good win against me. He has one heck of a team.

 

you did very well, a lot of my predictions missed and your misplays i feel like were academic stuff like (type weakness mistakes, missed abilities, etc) which can easily be learned.

when my ferrothorn died without setting up stealth rock (which would be very good vs Hawlucha and Togekiss), and then Tyranitar (MY WINCON) got the scald on switch-in i went "oh fuck"

 

You have some good points. I definitely feel that if my Togekiss had managed to survive Oranguru it would have been much closer.

 

Changed the avatar. Slicer Mole is ready for the week.

 

end of Week 4:


vs @DerekIsAGooner
- Expected a very swingy game. Both our teams can really hurt each other with the wrong pairings.
- Had to pack a lot of Earthquake because it ruins Aegislash (Quagsire completely checks a burned Aegislash) and Toxticitry, but there was a risk of losing momentum because the other 2 threats are Togekiss and Flygon
- Heavily considering Rotom-H but ultimately went with Assault Vest Oranguru
- POST MATCH: Tyranitar getting maimed early hurt because it was my big wincon, as well as failing to setup Stealth Rock from Ferrothorn.
- POST MATCH: I was heavily relying on Diggersby to OHKO Togekiss (with 70% accuracy Gunk Shot) in case Oranguru didn't deliver.
- POST MATCH: Derek brought a team with a very good movepool, mad props.

 

I got a shiny Ludicolo and named it after @CarpetElf in Shield in honor of our league

If you want to claim a specific Pokemon from your team for me to name after you say so now or I will pick one from your team at random

 

well mine is pretty obvious

my favorite pokemon

 

Quagsire it is

 

Quagsire in this league has been the only Pokemon I nickname (Quagmire), except for yesterday's match I nicknamed Oranguru Your Worst Nightmare but showdown allows long text but doesn't display it in full so it showed up as Your Worst Nightma

 

Ampharos, but it's not on Sw/Sh. I'll take Hawlucha instead.

 

Tyranitar or Sableye

love both

 

I've actually been working on a Hawlucha for a while now so this is good for me
