I’ve been thinking about how dominant the big 6 archetype has been since M-A. The five dominant mons are so consistent with any flex 6th. I think the team could be solved if people tried using a very intelligent gorilla who was born on the moon with his signature Tesla Cannons.

5-3 Louisville 2027 I played as well as I could have, but I don’t think the game wanted me to win today. Ty to the goat @mevlad552 for the team and matchup notes and @RikuVGC for running it last minute with me and completing the twinning 5-3 results

A friend and I were trying to solve how much force my thumb felt when I crushed it between two 35lbs dumbells as they fell, and we don’t know if this is solvable. Can a handsome physicist like @MoxieBoosted help us? We didn’t pay attention in physics 💀Here’s a rough diagram:

They got monkeys on typewriters in ILCA headquarters and whenever they type the name of a pokemon they add it in the game

Top Cut and 11th place at Worlds this year! I am incredibly happy with the result. I got to play mons vs some of the very best while also feeling like I’m getting back to where I want to be as a player. Still a lot of room to grow but I feel excited for next season! Harc the 🐐

I think the stupidest aspect of this entire application is that the "quality" of the team you make is based ENTIRELY off of the "rules" that Brady sets. Implying that any team without the VGC Corner Seal of Approval™️ is bad. "@grok should I run zard-y with floette" ass website
Replying to @vgccorner
Thank you for the support everyone! Just for clarity, this is not ready yet. Here's what this actually "is" - Website pulls from smogon (pokemon showdown) stats - has defined rules in what a "good" team is. (so far i have: type synergy, both offensive and defensive, speed tierings, and speed control). calculates it for combined pokemon. then gives number. number is saved. - from there, it checks usage stats and multiplies the usage stat with the previous calculated number. this is not "pure" but it does work as a great anchor. - then as you add more pokemon, it looks for bridges and connects pokemon together through the usage stats the rules. A bit about the build itself - Idea came to me in the shower. I was thinking of a way to visualize teambuilding as I see it - Opus 4.8 was the agent of choice (im out of Fable creds :p) - For context, I have a whole codebase already with every pokemon uploaded into a database and I already have the usage linked up so producing this was much easier with my already-made context which made one-shotting this easier - Still lots of fine-tuning needing to be done (im looking at you Kingamblora). both front-end and back-end.

Remember kids, you don't actually need to be good at the game or build good teams to hit champion tier. Just have an autowin into Zard slop and Staraptor and you just appear there :p

Real talk, is there any reason we can’t swap the GO and VGC stages? Half the GO seats are people watching VG anyways, just flip them and boom more room for VG viewers to fan out
