Tournament NUCL III - Commencement

Oh um
Hi im phil, I play alot of nu stuff lately albeit id really have preferred to manage
While im definitely more inclined to talk about rby pu and rby uu i do love rby nu a great deal, currently playing it in rbypl thats good fun and all. Super down to be someone's rby slot/honestly just rby builder is fine with me.
What i moreso wanna talk about is fairy gens and how i rlly do enjoy the fairy gens nu in specific has to offer(rare i usually dont like these gens) so if im given a chance to play those(preferably oras or sv) i can promise immense motivation.
Ultimately if u just need an old gen builder im super down to help, but also quite flexible without the price tag of some other flex artists.
Ty for reading bye bye

Hi Rabia THE_CHUNGLER Bughouse OranBerryBlissey10 Alecss goldmason Xiri , I noticed that you guys voted do not ban on ADV NU Glalie the other day, but most of you seemed to have missed the no Glalie tour that happened directly after. Weird how that happened after years of trying to keep the mon around, but I assume you all just missed Glalie. No worries at all!

Anyways, we have another no Glalie ADV NU tour about to start in the form of NUCL! We'd love to see you guys in it, especially in whatever tier you want to play :toast:

Pokeslice shut up man

Not planning to play GSC this tour, but hoping to see some nice games.

To anyone with a desire to post a certain gif involving Pineco, then keep in mind that

The above gif features the GSC NU match between Estarossa and DiannieRatson from GSC PL III. In the gif, two Pineco's click Spikes and Rapid Spin against each other for four turns. The gif has the caption of GSC NU at the time, indicating that this is a common occurrence in GSC NU. This gif was created in late 2022, and it was created satirically. Despite this gif being satire, I have seen more than one person actually take it seriously. I have legitimately seen some believe GSC NU to be this Pineco Rapid Spin war metagame. As such, I have decided to rid GSC NU of this harmful stereotype and set the record straight. This gif does not at all paint a accurate picture of GSC NU. I don't know what part of this gif is funny to be honest, but evidently people like to spam it.

First off, Pineco is not mandatory in GSC NU. SpikeLess teams have proven themselves to be solid in this metagame. You are not going to see two Pineco's in every single game. Second, the scenario in this gif almost never happens. It is almost never a good idea to get into a Pineco war. Let's look at the game that this gif was birthed from. On turn four, Estarossa brings in Pineco to abuse the sleeping Kingler, while Diannie also brings in Pineco. I don't really know why both players committed to this, seeing as both had a Pokemon that could OHKO Pineco (Houndour on Diannie's Side, Ninetales on Estarossa's side). There isin't much wrong with just accepting no Spikes, and then bringing Pineco back in at a later turn. Let's look at another game where something like this happened. [Gen 2] NU replay: estarossa vs. Lunala - Pokémon Showdown (pokemonshowdown.com) Both players get into a Rapid Spin war early on...but Estarossa just switches out early on and still gets Spikes up later on. Basically the only time a Rapid Spin war happenes is when both players double Pineco in at the same time. Switching Pineco into the opposing Pineco as it sets up Spikes is a bad play; if the opposing Pineco wins the speed tie, it can Explode and KO your Pineco. Now, you are playing with Spikes on your field, and none on the opposing one. It is a bad play that comes with too much risk.

There is little reason to ever engage in these Rapid Spin wars. There are numerous ways to stop this scenario from happening. Graveler 2HKOs Pineco and can Spin away Spikes. Pokemon like Fire Blast Weezing, Ninetales, Magmar, Flareon, and Rapidash can OHKO Pineco. Pokemon like Sudowoodo, Pupitar, and Graveler can absorb Pineco's only offensive move, Explosion. Pineco itself frequently uses Toxic, so the scenarios with dozens of turns of Pineco's thudding into each other never happen.

The scenario that is presented in this gif very rarely happens in current GSC NU, and if it does, it was because of a misplay. This gif is far from an accurate representation of GSC NU. I have played hundreds of GSC NU games this year, and I can not show you a single one where this scenario happened. A better GSC NU gif would be one that somehow showcases a fun, diverse, and competitive tier. If you get into Pineco Rapid Spin wars, play better games and build better teams.

Ok but have you considered that Pineco used Spikes and then Pineco used Rapid Spin and then Pineco used Spikes and then Pineco used

I don't think I've posted a single thing on the NU subforum before but as a past and current teammate of hers I vouch
 
I talked about myself and this community damn near made me cry they were so kind so!!
Im giving back.
Firstly I wanna touch on people I managed in nufl who's play rlly did leave an impact on me

milliongatejumpguy
Im disappointed i dont get to buy because i am convinced this is going to be my boy heres breakout tour, super dedicated sv nu player who truly just grows so fast. HUGE push here to get this guy drafted i know with certainty he'll do amazing things wherever he ends up, super sweet guy.

Abele
I will be the first to admit in nufl I think we underutilized him. Rlly solid in all the SM tests we've played together i can feel all itll take is a manager willing to chat actively with him and we'll see great things here.

5MGMatthew5
On top of truly growing fast at mons, Matt is just an amazing guy with enough good vibes for a whole team. I love this guy i hope a manager sees the star here i do and takes a chance, p.s please actually let him get games in

Lyra
My goat, great friend of mine and useful ss/gsc player. Ik hes got his heart set on what teams he'd like to end up on so if thats you please consider.

Shadow079
Idt i rlly need to introduce this guy, rlly rlly strong cg player with a big appetite for games. Great person to team with, plus he did great for us in nufl

DD Joe
The day I stop shouting out dd joe will be well...probably never. Great guy, picks up tiers fast. My goat

hammer798
My co-manager in nufl, hammer is rlly strong, hes got the first 3 gens on lock. Great builder. Love this guy

LessThanThreeMan
Idt i need to tell nu people how great a guy lttm is, but i do wanna emphasize his passion for oras. Idk anyone else who's this passionate about gen 6 tiers.

jam
Another good friend, we had him play dpp to great success. Flexible guy tho, definitely a nice flex pick up

Dead by Daylight
Ended up playing a bunch of oras in nufl, had a great mindset for it. Also just a rlly cool user to work with.

TG2513
RBY RBY RBY RBY
Was me and hammers(ball knowers)
NU starter choice for good reason.

Incognition
BW goat, think hes been playing around in other gens but seriously some solid stuff in this guys bw

Zangoose360
Obligatory this dude clicks great.

Other ppl who weren't nufl drifblims

magialice
Rlly fun to talk with, I imagine that carries over to tours, definitely worth a shot for rby this year.

violet river
The goat, obviously crazy strong adv player who seems willing to flex elsewhere. Rlly rlly nice to talk to also. I recommend this pick up

Noaa
Was somebody id hoped to pick up, be better than me and pick this fella up guys, rlly liked what I saw in tryout games can only assume hes still evolving.

PHB11677
Likes gsc lowers, that much i know.(we got him in gscpl) cool guy also

Okay thats what I have, bye

If I'm allowed to comment (I didnt ask for permission anyway) you should add a second Glastrier that is "mirrored" or I dont know how you say that in english type shit that would actually look cooler and more powerful

I hope you win this my man t13r 4c1d
