I'm looking to sell my 2025 Pokemon Worlds competitor kit. DM if interested
#CompetitorKit

Always a pleasure. Your growth this season has been inspiring and I’m looking forward to your future success

More detailed point breakdown

Amoonguss was at over 600 but got edged out by late-season BFL replacements...how the mighty have fallen (asleep)

Happy trans day of visibility y'all

That…is an excellent idea

As always thank you to @slyabby.bsky.social for her input and encouragement. Thank you to @evni37.bsky.social for suggeting this match. And thank you both for your EXTREMELY valued feedback!

(7/7)

I received direct feedback (run likely calcs beforehand, speak with confidence, on analysis) which I GREATLY appreciate.

I also received comments from Brandon's friends about Brandon's baldness which makes me wonder what leaked into SoCal's drinking water

(6/7)

Do I expect tons of views?

No. This analysis is niche. Not everyone will want to listen, but I think that those of you who do will enjoy it a lot and learn a lot too. I hope so, anyway.

Just one person enjoying and learning is enough to keep going - and I am already one.

(5/7)

I was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed listening to this video while driving even if it was my own analysis. The most educational moments of the process were when I found myself disagreeing with something I had said on-camera.

(4/7)

Indeed, I got a LOT more out of this on-camera analysis than I get off-camera. That encourages me to do this more.

If I'm recording anyway then I might as well share it! That way y'all can compare your understanding of these matches to my own and learn from that process.

(3/7)

Why am I making these? To help myself and others improve.

I do stream analysis pretty regularly off-camera which has caused significant growth. A camera forces me to articulate my thoughts which reduces error. I also can watch my analysis back to look for mistakes.

YouTube video by PranksterSpore VGC Match Analysis: AARON TRAYLOR vs BRANDON DAVIS

I recently made this VGC match analysis video that can be listened to like a podcast.

The match showcases how to approach volatile matchups at a high level, is between two players I deeply respect, and has the funniest turn of the 2024 season🦋🌊⚔️💀

#pokemon #vgc

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

From an operational security perspective, this is the highest level of fuckup imaginable. These people cannot keep America safe.

Not just a MU, an entire restricted with reasonable usage

Now that I think about it the fact that I knew a MU was bad enough to make that post and stuck with the team was an unforced error

😔

No one run the restricted I’m thinking of right now in the GC please and thank you

YouTube video by PranksterSpore The Rise of VGC's Bastiodon Mafia

You may have heard of the Bastiodon Mafia. Now its time for you to hear the real story of how Bastiodon made Day 2 at the San Antonio regionals. The long awaited Bastiodon Mafia video is finally here

youtu.be/oGufks8pBgc

Made my first day 2 at the Vancouver Regionals!

Paonite cleaned up so many games, but Poached Egg was the mvp 🥚

+100 -> 435/???

This is the story of the Bastiodon Mafia.
About how you can win with your favorites.
About a sweet-ass tournament run.

About the VGC community and everything that makes it so special.

But mostly this is a story about BIG BAST BUSTIN' OUT THE BODY PRESSES BOUTA BUY A BODY BAG AND BEAT 'EM BACK AND

Replacing Rillaboom with Amoongus on your Pokemon Balance Team. #pokemon

*Best kind

Global challenge II really do be global and really do be challenging

Here's a short video essay on my GC run

youtube.com/watch?v=Y6XF...

I threw away quite the chunk of points

#PokemonVGC

2/5 on inaccurate move hits
0/3 on inaccurate move hits when opponent hasn't set gravity for me
1/1 sucker punch mindgames into substitute CSR
0/7 disconnects (season record for first 7 games)

GC has been pretty fun so far. I also learned that Luminous Moss is a held item that exists

#PokemonVGC

You doin the good work out there

Honored to be a part of @mentalsyndrome.bsky.social 's Bastiodon Mafia this past weekend. Huge shout-out to @slyabby.bsky.social for making day 2 with the team!! And props to the rest of the Bastio Believers for doing so well!! Couldn't ask for a better teambuilding group 💕

This weekend also marks my first time doing ogre oustin + muti-battles on the plane 😆✈️

Favorite part of the weekend: we all sat down to eat and @steeltrainer.bsky.social said something like "So, which Denny's order is most aligned with Bastiodon?" The entire group has brainrot and I love it

Also, Benjy ran Bast too, but was busy with a TCG side event for this picture (3/3)
