2/4 for both RU and NU. You know the drill ATP.

SV RU: DugZa vs xavgb
Dug loaded stall. Yeah I got nothing here really, he forgot to give breloom a nickname and etern uu is a funny af nickname ig? Xav is back in the RU slot after crying loaded checks notes a standard team. Didn't stop them being gif'd by yours truly (atp crying has some of the best gifs to their name). I'm going dug here, he's been doing very well this tour and breakers RU slot seems cursed.
SV RU: robjr vs zugubu royale
Rob loaded a double CM team that just struggled into amuk stall (many such cases). Zugubu tried to larp Dugza with the nicknames (some of them were pretty funny tbf) but he did an oopsie and loaded a gastro team that wasn't too bad but couldn't really deal with herscu+entei+bisharp. Toughie, but I'm leaning rob? Genuinelly feels a bit coinflippy so have this graph that compares zugubu winning with how active RU is or something idk.

SV RU: TheFranklin vs lighthouses
Franklin loaded a good yanmega BO that destroyed the nonsense chung loaded (tspikes against no absorber go brr). Lighthouse let me do the funny gif with yanmega by clicking it multiple times against crying clicking u-turn. I'm still leaning franklin here ngl, he's going to lock in for these last two weeks to make his record look as good as possible, and both are out probably so idk how much lighthouse is motivated.
SV RU: Hacker vs Spitfire
Hacker loaded a good herscu BO and kinda just clicked shadow ball a few times to win. Meanwhile spitfire loaded an offense team with boots ditto which had feraligatr run into poliwrath (love that the tech pulled through). The team honestly wasn't bad, just that wochien there was prob not the play but lycan+feraligatr isn't bad into bulkier teams so will give that props. I'm leaning hacker though, he decided to not do a repeat of RUPL and is kinda cooking in the pool so far, and I think he's going to load a good team that will beat spitfires somewhat wacky choices.

SV NU: Danny vs Nat
Danny loaded what can only be described as an uberfiend team, and somehow won. Nat meanwhile loaded a more conventional team and lost to shen, which I think is moreso a team issue if anything. But still, nat has dominated and I think will happen again as long as they do there usual thing of loading unusual teams.
SV NU: GeniusX vs big tony 2014
Genius got a bit gimmicked but thats what happens when you load no ground and face pawmot, such is life. Tony loaded psyterrain and got outraded by esteb4ns build (unban g-terrain pu- *shot several times before I can finish that sentence*). I'm leaning genius here I think, tony will load crack and genius will load crack as well. The amount of crack would make a drug addict blush but I think genius's load will be able to handle tony's load.
SV NU: brick vs Shengineer
The shenion face off. Ruffles is back on bench so brick is back playing. Shen got a pretty good win over nat last week, and even if I did say thats partly cause of nats load, it was still an impressive win due to shen using several good techs. That said, I think shen takes this one. Brick is one of the people who knows shen's playstyle the most here, so maybe there could be an upset, but I doubt that still.
SV NU: Esteb4n vs Shadow079
Esteb4n loaded a good offense that beat tony's crack stuff. Shadow meanwhile LUCKED. Idk, I think esteb4n is going to win this I'm tired, see y'all next week.

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/smogtours-gen9lc-982628 won gg

LBN · Oct 20, 2026

I went 4-1 last week!! I'm not washed im NOT washed!

But Actually! By popular request (Sabella) we are doing UU predicts!! I am noticeably more uninformed on UU, but since when has being uninformed stopped people from speaking on shit on the internet? This is gonna be the dumbest set of predicts I've done in a long time so lesgitit.

pdt vs JustFranco
So I was looking scrolling through replays right. I was gonna run a gimmick on these predicts.
Everyone who loaded Azu this tour is bein bolded against - Pope Leo
Wise words of the goat long live the catholic church blah blah blah.
But then I actually check these replays and bro Azu is like 4-1 dude like wtf. Every time I seen this mon before latios clicks TBolt and sends it back to the homeless shelter so seeing that shit makes me ask two questions. Is Azu not shit or is Garay just the fucking best ever cuz its gotta be one of those two. Right i should be doing predicts uhhh
Both won last week. Franco won cuz he outplayed and pdt won cuz his opponent loaded sun and choked on complete dicks at the end for some reason. Genuine paypal action right there why did they hard HRK9 bro omfg. I mean shit I guess that's why big zS back in huh. I'm boldin big franco, 5-2 record vs 2-5 record sheet tells no lies.

zS vs ChrisPBacon
So this time we got a fun one. Chris last week loaded stall and won there is not a huge amount to say I'm just not watching that. Meanwhile the Mr. Worldwide of SCL has been hopping slots all tour and has 4 diff tiers in his resume. Not out of a lack of success, though. Sure, 3-4 isn't an amazing record or anything but when you play OU as some of those games well sometimes games dont deserve to be won! Of the games zS played in UU, week 1 was a loss to punny against BROKEN subcm Keldeo following that up with a dominant win on gilbert. Frankly I've always been high on zS's play its always pretty damn solid and the teams have been nice. I expect good things. Btw Chris the Pokemon Reborn avatar is good taste.. now Imma need you to replace dat w a Rejuvenation custom instead. Because Rejuvenation is 20x better. Fight me.

spell vs Taka
Two people who lost from last week. Taka reheated my SV RU nachos with sub metronome legion-f, and it wouldve done great if it wasnt roar empoleon. Nasty pull tbh. Beyond that kinda just outmaneuvered a bit. Spell.. well. I'll just show what her opponent loaded and I'll let you just fuckin guess what happened.

This is the typa build you're forced to fight when foreign agents want government secrets from you. One of the NASTIEST builds I've seen in a minute and the fucking terrorist in slot 2 did exactly what you'd expect it to have done. Honestly I'm gonna bold Taka. Taka is one the sweatiest people ik and thats a compliment and spell, while my goat from Team Canada, I must admit most of the time when spell loses its a legit bloodbath. Whether tis their fault or not is up for debate, but when things slip they slip pretty bad.

Sabella vs Denial
(You asked for dis budy Sabella)
Denial, after being gored by Occa Berry NDM terrorism in the misery that is SV Ubers, has been relocated to UU. While the reason for the change is sending punny over to OU, it definitely sucks seeing the guy tied for leading the pool gettin swapped around. Not much to work w on Lunala's Banned Now, but I'm sure they'll totally have so much fun or something like that.

Sabella meanwhile was sent to the front lines on week 4. After losing to wintminter, they've been on a kill streak of PDT, the walter white of activity fishing, and etern. 2 great players and avarice is a good streak, and I expect my.. UUFL? UUCL? Idr what but I expect my captain to keep winning. Sorry twin. GOMENASORRY OOMF CHAN!!

Mossy Sandwich vs etern
Moldy PB&J has a solid ass 4-2 record, slotting in after week 1 they've got a list of wins on the likes of Franco and even my goat watashi. That's good to see. To the contrary, the michael phelps of pit stirring has a noticeably less impressive record of 3-4.. by the way can I say its actually wild how 6th in the pool this year is fuckin 3-4? That is crazy to me, icl. Only other tier like that is LC which.. what a fucking surprise lmfao. Dookie tier. Anyways enough of bullying on children, Etern is a player I've pmuch always been high on, but my uneducated ass is deferring to the sheet today. And the sheet tells me Mildly Hot Tuna Sub has a better record.

Now I said I wouldn't do RU noms but I'm a hating ass bastard SO.
