Rules

• Follow all rules listed here.
• Schedule via Smogon VMs. It's easier for me to make decisions for activity calls when I can actually see what went down with scheduling.
• If you are unable to schedule with your opponent, please let your managers know ASAP so they can communicate that to me or the other team's managers for a potential substitute.
• Substitutions may be made after a week has started. When making a substitution, please tag myself, the managers of the opposing team, and all of the players affected by the substitute to ensure that everyone is made aware. Players who have already played in the week or were subbed out in the same week cannot be subbed back in.
• If a match remains incomplete by the time of the deadline, it will be subject to an activity call.
• It is recommended to play all games on GenerationsSD as this has all the 35Poke formats included. However, Games can be played on the Pokémon Showdown main server or SmogTours if and only if both players agree. The result between players may be decided in a best-of-one by default.
• Replays are mandatory. Not only are they useful for confirming wins, they contribute to usage stats and allow the people who couldn't watch the games live to watch them later.
• Managers: Please send me your lineups in the same format that I used to post pairings. It makes it much easier to post future rounds more quickly.

[Ea-Nasir]

Now that i am helping more teams, i get back my "predicting the staryus MUs" rights! Lets go back to everyone's favourite predicts for the week, unbiasedly

Ruination Satanices (0) vs (0) Torchics RD

December 2023: violet river vs The Hisui Region - river is, again, extraordinarily hard to bold against. Again, good support in the form of typhon. Again, better as a clicker. Again, opponent qho lacks tier experience. The only opponent in this pool that can pose a threat to river is ttk in a direct confrontation, and this week is not against ttk. Being fair, i do rate Shifty as a better support than typhon, but i think the skill gap matters, especially when i believe that Shifty might be struggling to make high quality prep for all the slots i think necessitate his help. 70-30
March 2024: terribleplayer17 vs Jojen - This is a weird game to predict. Jojen can definitely win here, and if i was more of a coward i would bold the "vs" in the middle. But i think the satanices have a better support core, and Luna can outexperience Jojen, even if he is a superior clicker in general. 55-45
April 2024: GC vs AReallyShiftyGuy - I am of the firm belief that Shifty is a better player in Bo3 than Bo1, and GC thrives in this atmosphere. That being said, it is stil shifty we are talking about, but its a lot of a closer match than expected by most i think. 55-45
February 2025: Msousa vs NoExistencia - Sousa is my bro, i am not bolding against him. Apu is a great player but hey, so is our favourite mariomon tier leader and team portugal wcop manager. Just go win already, 60-40
April 2025: t.t vs 7ayakum - Solid clicker vs 7md. t.t is an undeniably good player, and with a good MU this can be dicey for 7, but 7 understands the tier on a more fundamental level and is a stellar clicker. 65-35
March 2025: Ember Celica vs Tjoker - i am not super sold on Unitz stocks, and Typhon did beat mada last week, so i think thats a fine predict. Theres a good upset chance, but im giving typhon the edge, 60-40
October 2025: Shadow079 vs Peum - Bumass, can you start winning? 55-45
January 2026: fooflybag vs Calmmind75 - Nepo bold, fooflybag seems kinda heat, but calm is the mind 75. 55-45
35 Perfect(Vision D1): demirab1 vs bloxiet - Finally i can stop bolding blox, this was torture. Anyways, 70-30 for demi, just a better clicker. Plus beat me in BDSPPL.
35 VGC(June 2025): qbking3 vs volcaronavgc - I am, again, unconvinced with satanices' vgc, and the torchics are 2-0 here.

Krakatoa (0) vs (0) Shooting Staryus

December 2023: Cloudznn vs TTK - Kindly read what i put here for river, then look at what krakatoa's support core look like for this tier. 80-20.
March 2024: Zetious vs Riki/Poisany - This is another one where i could bold neutral, but im no coward. Both are extremely skilled players with extensive 35 experience. But Riki playes current and idt Zetious did so thats my tiebreaker, can go either way, 51-49
April 2024: Chemical_Jackfruit vs presi - While i do think people have a tendency to underestimate chem, its still presi on the other side, i think its a tough week for him. 65-35
February 2025: Turtle12 vs Sami - Its Turtles. Theres no way around it, Sami is also coming from the bench and is currently gameless. Will take time to adapt, not the right week to face such a formidable opponent. 75-25
April 2025: hxmo vs bigshoota - This is almost the mirror of the last matchup, clicker with a lack of meta exp vs one of the best and most consistent players in 35 history. Luv u hxmo, but this is a 75-25
March 2025: Mada vs bello figo - More exp with the tour, but i do believe in bello figoat. 60-40
October 2025: mangoose49 vs 4tup - Copy paste what i said above, with go4tup over bello figoat. 60-40
January 2026: angolano06 vs mmtaccos - The namechange aura carries. 65-35
35 Perfect(Vision D1): Nakoruru_XD vs Regiboob - Its. The year. Of. The. Boob. 65-35
35 VGC(June 2025): gephicka vs LogIce - As far as doubles clickers go, this is a tour wide highlight, and anyone familiar with the doubles scene on smogon. Im giving LogIce a slight edge since hes also a draft player, and those tend to do better in 35. 55-45

Documented Bellbros (0) vs (0) Whimsicott Warriors

December 2023: eambpls vs RetroDude42 - My faith in Retro is very limited. 65-35
March 2024: SirPeanutCronch vs Portobello - Depends on how well Porto's cheese works. Really close set, can go either way, 51-49
April 2024: copper50135 vs jscurf - jscurf, and now the opp isnt goddamn lebron. 70-30
February 2025: tryingtolearnstall vs honeyuuu - Honey is not a player that surprises me, and stall has been a consistent player for years at this point, giving them the edge, 60-40
March 2025: AlfrexFrostStaff vs Sagazinha - Sagaz and the 4 guys in the same VC as him will make sure to choke, 90-10
April 2025: OceanicGamer vs Tempo di anguria - Ocean i swear i have nothing against you bro, but i cant bold against Tempo :sob: i hope you win man, 60-40 tho, and please start facing easier opps
October 2025: mielke vs Gravity Monkey - Meta exp is king here, but mielke is a goddamn beast so cna go either way, 55-45
January 2026: cala_aa vs sheepie - Idk cala_aa well, not comfortable doing percentages
35 Perfect: doso749 vs MethMaster4546 - Do not let your helpers have access to the paste, i keep saying this but people keep losing, remember, he is gonna ask them for the paste, 90-10
35 VGC: jayballester vs Amis_F - Im still not sold on Amis and i love the way jay plays when he loads actual teams, 60-40
