2024-01-30 21:34:34 +0000 UTCIn high ranked ladder, players are using Gouging Fire as a debilitator more than a damager. Last year's world champion Shohei (#22) used it against last year's Japan champion and ladder #1-ranked Kaito the other day: https://www.youtube.com/live/G1F_KBAdMVo?si=m8iPlMVgdQ60ODTQ&t=18637 Kaito/ナーク also had one in his party but he didn't bring it to the matchup. With speed booster, it's there to Breaking Swipe physical attackers and Snarl special attackers before they can attack, so you rarely get hit by a full force attack. It's hard to get rid of, and it can chip away as it weakens your offenses. I honestly think it fits nicely on your team. Rillaboom terrain can heal it as it swipes, snarls, and bulwaks. Weakening the opponent makes it easier to rotate in sweepers like Urshifu without taking a lot of damage. Have you faced any of this variant on Bo1 ladder?

2024-01-25 13:01:09 +0000 UTCSeeing this, especially after attending Charlotte myself, really helps me understand so much more, this is definitely good to look back on for if/when I can go to Orlando

2024-01-24 20:56:14 +0000 UTCThanks for the video Wolfe! Will have to review it again as I prep for Knoxville! I'm hoping this and the Charlotte Practice will be enough to lock down a team.
