Hello everyone!

I'm Jeza.p, the manager of The Spectral Sovereigns, and I'm thrilled to introduce our team for this exciting tournament. Alongside my amazing co-manager, Swas , we are here to create an incredible atmosphere and assemble a truly talented roster.

We’re open to receiving tryout requests, player CVs, or even just casual chats, whether here on Smogon, through private messages, or on Discord (jeza.p / frostfall9757). Don’t hesitate to reach out; we’re always excited to meet new people and discover the skilled players who will help make this team great.

Let's Ruling the shadows, commanding the realm.
 
AGWL II Power Rankings

6. Desolation Groudons

This is one of the most basic names you could’ve come up with. It’s so underwhelming. There’s no alliteration, no rhyming, nothing catchy. It doesn’t roll off the tongue. Pretty easily the weakest team name of the bunch.

5. Gregarious Garganacls
Points for alliteration but again, it doesn’t roll off the tongue. It does moreso than Desolation Groudons, at least the syllable emphases match. But both gregarious and garganacl are clunky words to say, and what does Garganacl have to do with being Gregarious? I feel like this was picked for the sake of being quirky and unique, and I just can’t say I’m a fan.

4. Manaphy City
Idk what it is about this one. It does rhyme which is cool, but it comes off as a bit clunky. Great team mascot in Manaphy though.

3. Hallowed Ho-ohs
Pretty great name here. Alliteration, both words are 2 syllables, and Ho-oh does have some lore with spirituality and the dead with the Burned Tower and being a fire type. So yeah this works. I like it.

2. The Smash-Passing Polteageists
Pretty excellent name. It was almost my #1 pick. It’s got alliteration, it rolls of the tongue really nicely, and Polteageist is one of the more iconic smash passers. Polteageist is also a Pokémon with a lot of character so great mascot choice. So yeah, no critiques.

1. The Spectral Sovereigns
Yeah this name is just cool. It’s clever, alliterative, both 2 syllable words, and it perfectly encapsulates Caly-S while sounding so badass. Hell yeah, top tier name. My #1 team in this power ranking.

There was a mock.
wait what LOL
where were we supposed to find out?
 
I'm playing in PHPL and don't want to deal with scheduling for two tournaments simultaneously in the off chance I would get drafted for AG Winter League so instead, I am here to sign up as a certified punching bag.

Player Name: Ransei
Codename: Audino (Think Unova)
Tiers: All, even SV. (Preferably USUM. I am probably gonna suck very badly at SwSh.)
Achievements: Got hardcarried by the winning team last AG Winter League then afterwards used the teams my teammates built during AGWL in AG Classic and somehow reached finals in ORAS AG Cup and USUM AG Cup simultaneously.
Timezone: -5
Forseen Inactivity: Life, work, managing and playing PHPL.

I will be using either my own teams or any team I could find that was made prior to when this tour begins.

This was my first time ever managing a tour, and it was one of my most enjoyable time on the site. A bit saddening we couldn't make it past semis but it was an enjoyable journey nonetheless. Congratulations to the Groudons for winning this,

Firstly huge thanks to Jeza.p for co-managing with me despite my inexperience. You are a really cool manager and always supported our team wholeheartedly in the earlier UMPL and this tour too, and I learnt a lot of things from you. Looking forward to see you in tours again.

baconeatinassassin and Will immensely grateful to both of you for helping us a shit ton during the tour lol, you guys pretty much carried us despite not being on the team as players. We wouldn't have done so well in USUM and multigen if it weren't for your support. As a player you have taught me lot more than anyone else, I hope AG might become more appealing in the future for you to pick it up again.

Skyiew absolutely dominating performance, you were undoubtedly the mvp of the tour with an unbeaten 6-0 record. Honestly the most consistent SV player right now, thank you so much for carrying SV Bo3. Hope to see you in another tour farming everyone

velvet goated pick, you were performing extremely well in usum2 without any support from others. 3.5k for you was such a steal, you were a really nice and helpful presence in the teamchat too.

entrocefalo not only did you well in multigen, you provided invaluable help for other sv slots. this was my first time being on a team with you, and you did superb. ty for the great performance

Jojen surprised you went for 3k only, another steal and you did super well. the latter weeks were unfortunate with the matchup, but do not let them get to you. impressive run, hoping to see more of you in future ag tours

Trade ty for handling gen 8 on your own. you are a really cool person that i look up to when it comes to ss. sadly this season might not have been the most enjoyable for you, but i wish you all the best for your irl and work

Alpha1013 dunoks Quinn sorry i couldn't give you guys more opportunites to play, but y'all did great. you made the chat much more interactive, really glad to have you on the team

Staxi STAXOAT. sorry i couldn't pass you a good team that week vs LANA, but it was fun having you on our team nonetheless.

HSBT you were one of the most active users on the team, thank you for doing your best to help everyone. don't let those records drag you down, those were some really tough losses. however, i'm sure you'll do much better in the future so keep it up

Legendary spam sorry for not getting you :blobsad: regardless, thank you for joining our team and helping our SV slots. you were quite active and helped with tests too, i'm grateful to you for that. you have a lot of potential, hope you'll continue to improve.

RL Thoust thank you for helping us during semifinals. really sucked for hoohs this time, but hope hoohs will rise again! you two are also always a pleasure to talk with

Murphy Lawden Glory Pokemh gratz on winning your first ag team tour nerds. wp guys, dons were a great team

Frito 8truc thank you for being there to talk with, great to have you around. hope to see you in future tours :bloblul:

Also big thanks to the hosts Concept and Rose for hosting this
 
Hewo its SpaceSpeakers again. Desolation Groudon finally won this AGWL and i'm very happy about it. First of all, i wanna congratulate to our teammates who had a good run this entire tour. I can't be prouder of what you all have done. And here is a small shoutout post as usual owo :blobuwu:
Lets start with my draft plan
Glory Yo, we made playoffs every time we teamed up huh? You are a good builder and and your plays are insane (at least thats what ive seen in AAA games LOL). You literally helped almost all slots in this tour and i really appreaciate that. However, i gotta admit this, at first we did not mean to draft you since you said "dont expect too much" in your signup post, i was just trying to upbid you ;-; But eventually, it turned out i didnt waste my budget. I guess a 5-1 record just told us everything. I know some people do not like the way you talk/help to build teams but welp, i guess i can handle it. Looking forward to teaming up again in OMPL
aerobee ok ngl this is another player that was not in our draft plan at first. I was trying to not let Fc draft their friends because that would be so broken. I have seen you playing in OMs and your plays really impressed me, at that time i was unsure how well you would do in AG. Murphy was yelling at me in the middle of the auction because i drafted 2 players that were not on our draft plan but who cares. I know what i am doing. As expected, you didnt make me feel disappointed, i knew we just need to feed you teams and you would win with it, 5-1 is a good record in this SS AG pool anw.
polt I dont think i have to tell ppl how good you are at the game ngl. The season might not go the way you want but at least you won the important game for us in finals owo. Pretty sure your record could have been better if we hadnt subbed you out/ you had not forgotten about your game lil bro. Gz on winning the 3rd AG teamtours, also you were 1 of the first AG players that i knew on this site :) Your cat is cute asf btw.
RoFnA Rofnoob Rofnerd Slacking Slakings and yeah this is a close friend of mine on this site <3. I asked you to sign up for this tour and i knew i must have get you at all cost. You are a lucky charm who wins almost every teamtours but can't deny that you r actually good at the game (maybe worse than me a bit). Stop following me in tours bro.
Charmriah another Slacking Slakings, im glad that i could draft you for cheap in this tour. You are actually a good player but it didnt make sense since you dont have a ca yet ;-; Well at least we won a ca together. Thank you for agreeing to sub in and win the game when we needed you most. I wish i could have given you more chance to play tho. You are cool to talk with :blobwizard:
seraphz Helo this is our first time that we team up and im happy that we won it together. Ngl i couldnt believe that i got a SCL player with 3.5k. I told Murphy that we gotta build teams for you and you would win for us and you actually did. Murphy was crying w me about your plays sometimes LOL but well, you didnt have experience about this tier before the tour anyways, you needed time to adapt.
Blazing Aint no way i aint shoutout him (Only Blazing knows why owo )
Pokemh Helo we finally teamed up in an AG tour lol. I have known you for a long time and we used to talk a lot :woop: You had a rough time at the beginning of the tour due to hax :( but oh well at least you r not negative. Record doesnt mean anything tbh, your plays are good and everyone knows that. 1 of the first AG players i have known as well. You literally carried our SS AG slots by helping aerobee and Glory to build teams. I really enjoy talking with you . Told you that you aint lose a 3rd finals in a row <3
Baddy why the hell ppl let me get UM Champ with 5k :psywoke: That was definitely a steal. I have seen you playing in many teamtours ngl and you r an incredible player. I’m still grateful to have had the honor of managing you. Sorry for sending you home in CPL XD XD At least youwon a ca tho

And thats all of my draft plan for AGWL
At that moment i knew i just needed to draft friends to chill in our cord. But dont get me wrong, my friends are good at game too
Rei You are good but sorry for not letting you play LOL

Screenshot_20250324_084416_Discord.jpg

LogOffNow Vietnamese fellow, you finally won a ca huh? Aint no way its impossible, thanks for caring about my health and my mental issues owo. Ik you are busy as hell so you couldnt sub in and play a single game but welp, you still have chance to carry my in WCOP
June Batman, change your pfp bro, you r not a vietnamese xd xd. Murphy told me you r good and cool to talk with. And indeed, you are. Sorry for not letting you play a single game but you r good tho. Remember when we made to playoffs and you still had no idea lmao lmao. Lmk if you want to battle batman
TTTech Another Slacking Slakings thanks me later for carrying you to the custom avi lil bro. I'm happy that i could slot you in 1 game and you successfully threw it. 0-1 is a bad record, get good kid. Next time do not question my draft plan or whatever. I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING you dumb
horriii you promise that you wont forget me when you become another Finchinator in Pokemon. Indeed people still do not regconize you yet but me? i do know how good you are. Your appearance in our chat is nice anyways
big tony 2014 Small tony ! Fish fear me ! Women want me ! I won another teamtour with you on my team owo. I know AG is not your tier lol but kek who cares, i know you will carry me in other teamtours one day.
Last but not least, our supporters, without you all we could not win this tour
Hopefully we can team up in the future owo

If i forget anyone then im a sorry :( i have a memory of a goldfish














Uhhhhh looks like i forgot my co-manager Murphy Lawden this guy knows too much about me smhhhhh but thanks for agreeing to manage with me altho you really didnt want to, at first. I was looking for a co and your name just appreared in my head. You r good at using discord which is a good backup for me LOOOOOOOOOOOL. But hey, you are also good at managing too (but not as good as me, next time dont question my draft as well stfu kid). You have more experience at buildng AG i would say and that really helps. We are a good duo lil bro. Glad that we finally won a CUSTOM AVI together, i know this has been your dream lel.:sphearical:

https://pokepast.es/77c6301bd0a45dec
I wanted to use something pretty standard week 1 and saw a cool bacon tech a little recently and decided to try it out vs Trade. I made CB Zek able to always 2HKO NDM with enough speed for 0 speed yvel and max defense impish for the most powerful Body Press vs Ferro. Oh and I also noticed how much ndm was doing to everything in bacon's game and thought Ho-oh Caly-S Impish Zek (if no prough) and fat Don was fine vs Zac enough to consider offensive lum. It cooked in the game but I got too scared of a third crit and threw pretty hard to Scarf Haze Caly. I think the team is great just some misplays on my side.

Week 2
:ho-oh: :groudon: :marshadow: :yveltal: :necrozma-dusk-mane: :eternatus:
https://pokepast.es/33ec0c7ee74e523d
In week 2 I noticed loti used Off Lum Ogre so I thought I could get away with LS Etern + physical overload assuming ho-oh might not be brought and the team would do fine vs Ditto. I opted for DD NDM again because going from Off DD NDM to Def NDM might be helpful and DD NDM is broken.
I think the game went fine I probably should have went Marsh on one of the Morning Suns or went for para on yvel to not have any difficult endgames and maybe have a better chance at winning also sacked Ho-oh pretty early instead of getting regen back at some point. This should have the most trouble with CM Ogre builds but I'd hope LS Dtail Etern either 1v1s or makes Ogre a non threat all game. This whole AGWL I was kinda afraid of Ass Zac owning me so I decided to go Fplay Knock U-Turn over a taunt set but actually just forgot defog so you can probably get rid of Fplay and just outplay Zac.

Week 3
:calyrex-shadow: :landorus: :necrozma-dusk-mane: :obstagoon: :yveltal: :galvantula:
https://pokepast.es/6da451ac50042fb8
Week 3 I was a little tilted from some bad endgames in prior weeks but decided I could easily webs because I brought the same don BO structure twice already ditto was unlikely. I had a few webs in mind until I saw an LBN game and speedbuilt an AG version literally 10 minutes before the game. I think I should have used Obstagoon a little later in the game but he still traded for NDM so it wasn't too bad. I think using a shitmon on webs makes you a lot weaker to Ogre Ho-oh Fatter structures and I hadn't made any plays to help that. I think if I were to use it again I would put something over Lando to try to make the Ogre mu better, ferro was also a threat I had in mind so I had LO HWave NDM so maybe something like Superpower LO Zyg or Bpress Zek to try put more pressure on teams like Richard's.

Week 4
:eternatus: :necrozma-dusk-mane: :ditto: :ferrothorn: :yveltal: :kyogre:

This week I was vs a team who cheesed in this slot very consistently so I was afraid of being too weak to Butterfree or Screens but Knock Ferro Ditto kinda stops this. Unfortunately it was NP Pass Caly but I was able to get rolls vs Yvel and they gave me an easier time in winning with ditto than it should have been. Definitely should have made it Boots/Colbur/Lefties/Helm/goggles/whatever on NDM I had a schizo moment forgetting aero got defog when making it Herb. Pretty basic fat that can have a lot of different variations so it's always fun to use only really difficult mus are the grounds and maybe Dual Xern since it's very passive.

Week 5
:ho-oh: :xerneas: :yveltal: :necrozma-dusk-mane: :eternatus: :zacian-crowned:

I was fighting geysers prep (I think) and was pretty worried about getting Kyuw'd or bring fat into some Off LO Yvel BO so swas suggested stuff good into Off Yvel so I just stuck with it. Got a pretty doable preview and made the right plays with my own Zac and won pretty comfortably. I think this was the most don weak team I brought this AGWL but it definitely can outplay or out offense it first with Xern & Zac.

Week 6
I was going to bring Skarph Ferro here because I didn't want to completely use the same team as Week 4 and I have a lot of experience using it.
But then we won the week pretty convincingly and I wanted to use a quad don team in my builder.

Since I won't send some stuff I used in a few weeks because the spreads aren't too public and aren't mine here are some teams I posted in my channel or wanted to bring

This was a fun tour I liked that we had a lot of different faces in this tour (probably because of no ca mentioned until after signups closed) but it was very cool because I know almost no new SV guys and it was nice to team with them. The SS slots also had a lot of good players so it was pretty enjoyable to prep and play some good games especially during the first half of the tour.
s/o Satanic Beast polt Frito Swas Thoust lotiasite Ballfire Glory aerobee and whoever else for help with picking teams throughout the tour
thanks SpaceSpeakers & Murphy Lawden for buying me even though I had never done too well as a player in these tours maybe we can team again!

AGWL has finally come to an end, and Desolation Groudons have won. I am really happy and proud of my team. This was an incredible experience. With that, I'd like to share my shoutouts!!!

Firstly, I would like to thank SpaceSpeakers for asking me to manage with him and actually convincing me, as I would never have had enough courage to sign up on my own. He is a good motivator and a great friend, probably one of my oldest and closest friends in this community (and yes, we do know way too much about each other, lol). Here's something funny: he keeps hyping his draft, but did you know the real reason we didn’t spend credits at the beginning? He was scared of Fluore's draft plan. (Yes, everyone gets to know this—that's what you get for dissing me!) But I won't lie, the results speak for themselves. He made the right decisions. And no, winning a CA is not really a dream for me anymore. My dream is something very different.

Now for the real GOATS (and no, not you Space): My Team!
Glory: He is truly the MVP of our team. He asked to be slotted into Multigen BO3 in Week 2 and went 5-0! (SV is a fraud tier, so Week 1 doesn't count.) He is also an excellent builder and provided key support for our SV slots. (It would be nice if you could talk with me sometime.)
aerobee: I'm really happy to see you playing AG again. You re-learned SS incredibly fast and went 5-1, which makes me really glad.
seraphz: Yes, Space's allegations are right. I did doubt you in the beginning because you didn’t have any prior experience with the tier. Yet, you went 4-2, completely proving me wrong, and I am sorry for doubting you.
Pokemh: Well, after losing two, you won the third one and it's the AG one, which is very fitting! Even after the first three weeks of being haxed and facing terrible matchups, you kept going. The teams you shared with everyone and your presence in the team are extremely valuable. Also, you are so much fun to talk to!
RoFnA: An old friend whom I first met during OMPL XI in Wiggly Family (just like Polt and TTTech). He is an incredible player; all he needs is a team, and the results will come, haha.
Baddy: As Space already mentioned, getting the UM champ for 5k was an absolute steal. You are an incredible player, and I was so glad to have you on the team.
polt: He was also on Wiggly Family. He is an incredible SM player, and honestly, I don't know what else to say about him, he's very good. (I drafted you not Space!)
Blazing: An underrated player. This was my first time interacting with you, and I’m glad to win with you.
horriii TTTech Charmriah I am sorry for not giving you three more opportunities to play. June LogOffNow big tony 2014 Rei you are all really talented, and I’m extremely sorry for not giving you the opportunity to prove yourself.

I would also like to thank all our supporters, we couldn't have done it without your help. Ransei Chessking345 xinnobu have been with us from the very beginning. And to Geysers Swas lotiasite Ballfire JK GigaBytes7 Satanic Beast Bread Sandwich cromagnet Fragments Thoust for helping us during the FInals.
Also S/O to adorluigi for simply existing. He is a great friend. So are you, Swas (I’m still sad about that incident, though.)
Pokemh horriii Glory (although I know you don’t really care) TTTech Charmiriah Blazing We have a CA now!

Finally, I would like to thank Rose and Concept for hosting this tournament. And thank you to all the other teams for making this tour so memorable.
Thank You!

Originally wanted to post this in the finals thread, but Space didn’t, so it felt weird. To be honest, you don’t need to follow what others do every time. Also, if you find any grammar errors, don't you dare point them out. It took me half a day to write this.
