Ok fine ill go first... I don't feel like explaining everything but I'll give brief comments. Weeks 3 and 7 were my favorite builds.
Week 1 vs Esteban (L)
:swampert::altaria::bellibolt::chandelure::ambipom::wo-chien:
I was scared of Tauros-Aqua and Raikou, hence Altaria and Swampert. Pivot spam with Specs Chandelure. Wo-Chien didn't lock in.
Week 2 vs GeniusX (L)
:braviary-hisui::raikou::cinccino::grimmsnarl::rhyperior::scyther:
My yearly mandated screens HO, this time with Grimmsnarl setter and a special guest appearance from Javier.
Week 3 vs Danny (W)
:inteleon::gligar::duraludon::hoopa::persian-alola::scyther:
Really proud of this team. Great speed control for the offense matchup but also good tools against fat teams like Scarf Persian-Alola. Hoopa is very good.
Week 4 vs big tony 2014 (L)
:vaporeon::meloetta::bronzong::flamigo::flygon::florges:
Weird team. I wanted to build around bulky CM Meloetta. Serene Grace Thunder is funny. Double Scarf is fine bc im probably tricking Florg's away.
Week 5 vs Shadow079 (L)
:dudunsparce::scream-tail::decidueye-hisui::regirock::flygon::munkidori:
Really going off the rails with Regirock. I think it's viable—HO teams really do be struggling to find a Flamigo resist. SD Blackglasses Hecid does a decent job of breaking/weakening its checks like Houndstone, Glowbro, etc.
Week 6 vs HAVOCKNIGHT (L)
:copperajah::scream-tail::incineroar::munkidori::shaymin::cramorant:
Wanted to throw some Copper in the mix because haha Shengineer Fairy resist!!! Shengineer Steel type!!!! Anyway i like the Scream + Incin combo, good at making progress. I slapped on Shaymin relatively late in the building process bc it solved lots of problems. Eject button is fun to get momentum off Bellibolt without having to run a Ground-type. Now I'm officially washed at 1-5.
Week 7 vs Nat (W)
:ambipom::flamigo::hoopa::shaymin::Staraptor::copperajah:
I had the concept of CB Beat Up Ambipom in the back of my mind for a while now, finally had the courage to load it once our team was knocked out of the tournament. Not an optimized team but man, CB Ambipom is legit. Beat up OHKOs or 2HKOs so many of the usual Ambipom switch-ins.
Week 8 vs brick (W)
:basculegion::wo-chien::sylveon::munkidori::duraludon::cinccino:
Taunt + Ruination Wo-Chien is great at weakening walls. Scale Shot Basculegion is a nice set, with Tera it kills Vaporeon with 6 Scales (hit 3 each turn, etc). Sylveon was dual purpose, a win condition enabled by Munkidori and Cinccino's Steel overwhelm core but also a Wish passer for, well, the entire team bar Cinccino. Perhaps my strongest/favorite team from all of SCL and I cooked it on an airplane flight.
Week 9 vs Heatranator (W)
:chandelure::goodra::inteleon::overqwil::bronzong::sylveon:
Fat Chandelure Hazard stack. Scarf Overqwil gives nice role compression acting as speed control, Spikes setter, and Knock Off absorber. More people should use defensive Chandelure.
I ended the tour at 4-5, happy I was able to bring it back in the end but ultimately a bit disappointed at my early season performance. I think I've had enough SV NU for a lifetime, maybe I'll retire to the rolling green hills of GSC. Shoutouts to loocas13 HisuiHeat and Birdbrain103 for joining me on the journey.
