first real tour and it was certainly an experience lol gg team gg heatrans
w1 vs chessking
i was high on ph spikes gyara at the start of the tour but then decided to go ghosty+mmy soo gyara became uturn. para scales zacian is very cool you can always threaten to trade with the opposing gar/mewtwo as long as you live the hit (as it did in the game), unfortunately i forgor to improof it lol. i really like the idea of the team, it would try to get around big dumb breakers by simply outpositioning them, its pretty fast and both the slow mons have pivot and para.
game was basically chessking having approximately nothing for ghostceus. despite the mu being pretty much won (especially after palkia was neutralized) my heartrate was still at 5000 bpm the entire game, which did not change at all for the entire tour.
there were nicknames on this team but i think i took em off while porting it to the damage calc and just didnt put em back on fsr.
w2 vs sevag
sevag was by far the scariest opponent of the tour for me cause he can bring literally anything and hes just really really good. i thought with pagos gone mgar was highly stupid and i didnt think that sevag would bring great switchins. idk what i was doing with fairyceus maybe i was just delusional thinking torch song lets me beat sub attackers (it does not). lucky punch imp for setup counterplay cause this team barely got any.
i expected sevag to bring at least some sort of aggression, instead he loaded stall with normal type + scales zacian + prank hooh + hazard stack + double protect into choice specs gengar lol. however he also left his removal at home since idt he expected triple boots on my part (boots is op cmon) and audino also got blasted early by goat dland hooh, leading my early game plan to just throw up hazards and keep the pheal mons low. the cc on imp definitely shouldnt have been allowed by me and slowed me down by a ton but giratina/maud were getting chipped down anyway. i think if sev landed knock on hooh earlier he wouldve had a better shot but by the time he did that rocks giratina died immediately after. i decided to sack imp for knock off on zacian which would make it much easier for gar to kill (his hooh got obliterated by crit rip) but i forgor imp was the improof to gar lol. thankfully it turned out fine cause waterceus needed to defend hooh/zacian but was sitting duck to gar being pivoted in.
w3 vs clas
i decided that i wanna build around ph spikes gyara for real this time and paired it with xern for double spikes but then it became glare for some inexplicable reason. i also dk what was going thru my head to bring ghost+hooh for the third week in a row (theyre good but not
that good). i dont really like this team, it doesnt make too much sense, the ghostceus is weird (i actually like tcage but not that+take heart), and its just really clunky. tinglu has beakblast because trolling mmx is funny although realistically its gonna be scouted by imp anyway.
mbounce zacian is a horrid mu cause i cant get hazards up vs it and it pretty much blocks gyarados/xerneas from accomplishing anything (i thought of it but decided that clas wouldnt bring it lol). idk why i threw away my only answer to that thing vs imp gyarados. ghostceus apparently still had a chance because his normceus seemed to be monoattack but i also played really bad this game so yea.
w4 vs tttech
i liked band volt switch mmx why bother with bolt strike+uturn when you can have both in one slot. unfortunately i forgot that i hate these type of mons that has to make a zillion predicts. i also forgot to actually build the team so it was thrown together right before the game (hence no nicks). good as gold since tttech spams parting shot and stuff.
game was basically "i forgot dragon tail regigigas was a set". and also the purple frog set was total regigigas bait, man.
w5 vs anaconja
ok hear me out
(idt u 1v1 xern actually but i was delusional)
i was messing with ideas like primsea lo mmy (fiendishly scary mon fishrend is op did you know mmy has same atk as zacian-c?) and adapt palkia-a but didnt actually build a team LOL so 10 minutes before the game decided on the mon thats easier to come in and also sillier as i have been loading standardish stuff. ngl i forgot what i was thinking for the rest of the team but arcnormal is infinitely cooler than pagos the speed kills fight me. i think the sets are individually good or at least alright im just highly unsure if its coherant. no nicks because once again last minute team.
is the zacian useful? we didnt find out as it ran into pdon + subpressure zacian (fuck you) + prankster aegislash LMAO. i played quite dubiously but got bailed out by godmon vdance kyogre with a couple of well timed paras while also blocking the dumb zacian (idk why i glared instead of waves on zacian that was literally a free kill). biggest regret was not clicking boomburst on giraffe like imagine actually being hit by that.
vdance kyogre is so awesome btw fishrend is op you kill pdon you selfproof and you have broken para to facilitate fishrend which is op.
semis vs espathra
after contemplating primsea mmy again i decided that i just wanna bring triage steela. doom desire seems like a very dangerous third move that i doubt theyd prepare for, you can snipe em with a +3 doom deisre that they may have issues denying cause im minspeed for spectral and shit. rest of the team is fairly pedestrian and tbh not terribly coherant but i like the mmx. if i get this in with doom desire online im in business.
celesteela had an ever better mu than i expected. it destroys the fairyceus and spinblocks zygarde while also checking mmx. however i threw it out vs unrevealed zacian because i am very bad. fortunately espathra brought stonewalled by waterceus zacian (probably bc ive been using 0 waterceus so far). idk what i was doing with xerneas moonblast pp but i somehow managed to drop both slowbro and zygarde which lets imposter zacian/mmx just kinda win. also wtf was that xern zygarde sequence i needed exactly 1 full para to break thru but instead got 3 crits and ended with 1pp.
finals vs sevag
after trying to build around primsea lo mmy for two weeks i decided that i want breakers who can actually come into stuff. i also wanted to fuck with imprison to exploit that the only recovery move for most walls and almost every special one is heal order. originally this was anchor shot so i can troll support zacian however unlike me clas is a sane individual so eventually this became glare to beat special walls and everything else more efficiently. i decided that i wanted to just build regixern cause gigas easily threatens whatever guy xern manages to paralyze and also sets spikes. steela hard improofs gigas cause ive been spamming pheal all tour and if anyone was gonna bring torb imp on me it was sevag (as he did). it also cleans up the mess once xern gets thru the opposing sdef and serves as removal. i do like this team, the zacian is mid and waterceus dont do much damage which actually sucks so much (see: in game vs scales groundy lol) but imprison xern is so silly if it works.
i played this game hilariously badly. xern really couldve cooked and idk why i risked the speedtie there instead of just going steela, nor do i know why i tossed out imp (it improofs 3 mons btw). im so mad at the blaziken turn cause that was more than obvious enough but i think i just wanted to be done (and regigigas was somehow winning like what). sevag did get a couple of important ties (vs xern, vs gigas) but this loss was no doubt because i played like shit.
after that the heatran won the first two tb games and i didnt build and lost p much all motivation by that point (was just gonna bring normgar) so we just deadgamed lol
overall i somehow went positive and im happy about the record. im obviously very unhappy but also not too surprised about quality of my play. i think i just got great matchups on the games i won and i simply got 4 of em. im not sure if ill do this again since my motivation was pretty much dead by w4 (though life did not help on that front). i did enjoy the test games tho so u might see me asking around for bh games in the future.
Runo Concept idk if you guys knew that this would be my first real tour or if u guys just wanted a bh main but thanks for drafting me and having at least some faith in me.
rest of team i didnt interact with yall much but yall are cool and its genuinely been nice teaming with you guys
Clas thanks for joining the teamcord for finals and restoring a bit of my sanity
teamo best bh player shouldve played bh smh
and thanks to people who tested with me that was my favorite part of tour i think
thats all bye
