Who is AeraLaut, how well does s/he know you, and was s/he actually used to piloting the teams, or just told to practice against you with them? Felt massively outplayed, almost like they were throwing the games.

2024-02-01 15:17:31 +0000 UTCHow would you change the team and/or your leads into those archetypes if it weren't Bo3 OTS, but rather Bo1 CTS (online)?

2024-01-27 18:14:31 +0000 UTCThat makes sense, I'm just seeing a +2 or +3 sp.def flutter and I feel like only hitting it with special attacks is a great way to never get your momentum back. I've never been great at the mind games aspect of vgc so it is very interesting to hear your take on conditioning them with certain plays in the early game.

2024-01-24 18:16:34 +0000 UTCIn the first game they predicted Protect a few times in the early game - you'll see they start to prioritize hitting Flutter later on, but at that point it was too late. In the second game Incineroar parting shots turn 1 to try and slow the calm mind boosts, and then Archaludon doesnt have enough boosts to do meaningful damage with body press, and there's never a good opportunity to get Incineroar back in without risking too much - when it does hit the field rain is up, cutting its damage output anyway. The third game the player makes a prediction because turn 1 game 1 I went protect switch to Incineroar, so they body press Rillaboom to try and punish - to be fair, they can't body press flutter here without risking too much since it's turn 1 and I haven't yet terastalized. There's a chance for them to hit Flutter turn 3 with flare blitz but keep in mind almost every turn Flutter has been vulnerable I've gone protect and switch to the other fake out user, so the risk is too high, and because they feel behind they try and make an aggressive prediction. The key is understanding the risk/reward from the opponents side, as well as conditioning them into being scared of attacking Flutter Mane.

2024-01-24 17:11:22 +0000 UTCThanks for these! Also why in the archaludon games were they not prioritizing hitting flutter with body press or flare blitz?
