W PODCAST 🧑‍🌾🧑‍🌾🧑‍🌾🧑‍🌾

Expert level waffling I'm here for it

It's podcast season! You love to see it 🔥

podcast was okay, you should replace the guy on the right though

Frogs have excellent night vision and are very sensitive to movement. The bulging eyes of most frogs allow them to see in front, to the sides, and partially behind them.

Very cool Podcast, when I am drafting, my way of thinking is always that my first 6 Mons should build a core and fill all needed roles for the Team. Which is a very important point, you guys talked about. Keep it going!

I haven't watched a lot of this ep yet, but just before I even start I would love at some point if the show could go over the kind of "most official" showdown/smogon draft tournaments and how they work, when they are, etc. Obviously there's a ton going on all the time, but like for example if I'm not mistaken it seems like the two big individual tournaments are the Winter & Summer seasonals, and I guess this DCL is the premier team draft tournament? I'm not even 100% sure that's right, would just love a breakdown of the tournaments that showdown players would consider to be the highest tier of competitive draft play and then maybe some more mid-entry level versions for people looking to get into these kinds of tournaments beyond just individual leagues, thanks!

W podcast, looking forward to more!

holy freak react to frogs

How do you both have Latios and Kingambit?

Could you also link to the other teams in the draft, in the description? 😁

Counter argument to tiered vs point system for draft is point drafts literally take forever. In my league our tiered drafts usually take 2 or 3 hrs. We go on the clock and have to make our pick in 2 mins. Tier structure with 4 free slots works best for us not close. Also the whole comment about Rilla being 15 min and it not mattering kinda contradicts the point argument. Most leagues are 1-19 points, tiered leagues are 1 to 5 each tier being worth 3.8. If ur 2 or 3 points off on ur tiering literally defeats the whole purpose.

SPOILERS: GG Owen!!! This was a very dope Tera Gambit/Lati mirror matchup. My god that opposing Lati was a threat, but, shoutout CB Donphan for clutching up the battle. GL next battle! :)

king goobert W

On iron crown i just drafted both it and indeedee and im pretty hyped to use psy spam.

I love watching you battle

Is that Donphan or Mamoswine?

donphan 👍

sometimes the Don has to get down and roll over the oposition

Spoilers at the end: What a match, man!! Was a pleasure to play, ggs! One of my favorite matches I’ve had in a long time. Super offensive. Banded Phan was a great bring. I definitely plan to upload my scramble matches, life has just been a little crazy. Gonna get on that soon. Watching myself spam attack into Pecha instead of going Lati is probably my only regret about this match.😂 Was a little nervous to be playing someone who actually has a following on yt, was my first time ever doing so.

God damn donphan getting that ko was just insane tbh

Donphan did do the Mamoswine this game lmao

Hot Take: Loom is the GOAT Tera mon

Ngl, when you put on those sunglasses, i thought you looked like a former Joey associate. (Sorry. Lol)

Fun fact, the guy who called mirror herb best item once ran a blunder policy iron fist golurk. And he hit 3 dynamic punches in a row. So, blunder policy = free no guard?

Bruv did you just say hazards removal has great distribution in Gen 9? Smh I’ll give it to ya tho “Hit your hurricanes buddy” is the coldest line I have heard in a while 😂

I've had terapagos in 2 leagues, was mvp and kill leader in both. That mon is an insane sleeper when you just save it in the back to cleanup sweep, so many teams aren't ready for normal stab that strong. Ran rest talk fake suicuine set one weak that went crazy with tera shell, spin or polish starstorm calm mind or meteor beam always puts in work. Thats my goat.

Tera swellow boom burst is the greatest low tier Tera. Nat Dex. Normal Swellow was brought to 99% of games and I won a championship with it.

1:06:55 Im so sorry, my friend Don forgot to take his meds that day and start back up on his anti-ogerpon rants, sorry you had to deal with that and hopefully it wont happen again

Aye gifs are just hard to load at work that’s all 😭 nice vid

my hot take is that dragapult should not be this auto first pick 0 thought process going behind it mon that it is for some people. especially towards newer players who arent as experienced with pult, oftentimes just going for another mon that is easier to play with can be a lot better for some players. dragapult isnt that crazy when you dont know what to do with it, unlike some more "brainless" mons (just mean they can be used effectively without much braincell usage) like tusk or nifalap

Paul Bufano here Thanks for the insight. Cant wait for more content 💕

20:53 that was my terapgos damnnit Keegan

Thank you JRicky 19:42

27:30 PPFC MENTIONED LETS GOOOOOOOO. From having lots of convos with Nexus and Uzi I can def see how a lot of upload leagues can make things a lil less fun when it comes to draft. Some day I def wanna make a side channel for draft stuff, but as for now the dumbass discord leagues are my favorite hobby

My hot take is that it is important to determine WHY you are participating in draft league. Many players play to win. Understandable. If you lose (when you lose) what are you getting out of the time invested? How are you reviewing your plays? Are you seeking advice or feedback? If more players found additional aspects to get out of their time in draft, then it would likely be more fun for the player and their audience.

It will never stop amusing me the random examples given in the ogalbina community that I just haven't seen anywhere else. 40:24 Joe Bob Smith, Kyurem Black/Magearna on Tuesday with (whatever examples thought of that day).

Well I have both palafin and deo speed so ratio paul

36:22 BOO!!! I will admit as a draft league owner always having to ask "Which Kyurem? Which Ogerpon form? Which Hoopa form? (they show a gif with one hoopa turning into the other) does get kinda anoyying at times. I do find it funny when people say stuff like "past iron treads" or "future great tusk" and I have to just guess what they mean

Oh iron moth should be renamed iron fraud, I've never seen it perform well, it never feels strong enough, always just misses important kills and gets nuked bht you can't justify it any lower cause a 140 base spatk, 110 speed mon doesn't belong in the same place as say h-samurott but for it's price point it never fails to underwhelm me
