William Bassolino Vs Oliver Eskolin | Birmingham Regionals 2025

[@VictorVictor-v8s]

I'm not a big fan of RNG being deciding factors in games but i'll admit that Ogerpon dodge to get the KO was epic.

[@gamingpanther7773]

Bringing not 100% moves always have downside.

[@RifYNWA]

That final battle clearly had a divine intervention.

[@wilhelmtan5301]

Someone give that Incineroar plushie to Wolfe Glick

[@gamingpanther7773]

😂😂

[@zionhendricks7610]

Italians are on a generational run right now

[@solafujita7028]

I feel like even without the origin pulse missing, Alexander could still win the match. Ogrepon would have gone down and iron hands could come in and pressure fake out on Kyogre.

[@KindaKaon]

protect & glide or drum beating is relatively free there though, then fake out pressure is gone. If ogerpon is removed, boosted Kyogre does enough damage that scarf urshifu sweeps the endgame.

[@solafujita7028]

But that’s what I mean by fake out pressure, kyogre is forced to protect and Miraidon can freely go for Draco to finish rilla of

[@solafujita7028]

And in the subsequent turn iron hands threatens a low kick ko on kyorgre

[@RebL3333]

Forgive me if I’m wrong, but couldn’t Rillaboom have switched in to Amoonguss then? -2 Miraidon Draco without the Hadron Engine boost, even with STAB and Specs, has to do little damage against a tank like Amoonguss right? And then you’re threatening Spore which can’t be blocked since Electric Terrain isn’t up, plus I’m like 60% sure -4 Mirai and Iron Hands double into a chipped Amoonguss doesn’t kill. Plus Amoonguss also has the option of redirecting a potential Low Kick into Kyogre, taking very little damage and dealing Rocky Helmet chip.

Personally, I always prefer to teach my Pokémon 100% accuracy moves with less power. Mind you, I’m not a competitive VGC player, but still. It’s just so annoying when your Pokémon’s moves miss whenever you’re using something with less than 100% accuracy…

[@DanielTredewicz]

Like what move? Water Spout is reliant on current HP, Surf hits your ally, Muddy Water can miss...

[@CoreyYan93]

@ Oh haha I was just talking about in general, as opposed to this direct matchup. I guess Origin Pulse was probably the best move for Oliver’s Kyogre to know, with his team composition.

[@ac1dfoxdie716]

I feel th same ,I can go with lack in power for accuracy

[@VictorVictor-v8s]

Yep agreed. I lost a game yesterday because my Icy wind (95 accuracy) missed BOTH targets. I love VGC but losing games like that is hard to take.

[@RifYNWA]

Probably Surf hahaha 🤣 🤣 ​@@DanielTredewicz

[@maidireMaie]

william ha imparato a giocare ❤

[@asglelele]

Oliver thats what u deserve by using max speed rilla (i'm joking no hate)

[@juliii1801]

Max speed Rilla with drum beating is actually genius tech imo because max speed outspeeds 252 speed Urshifu and ties with max speed terapagos

[@ahfoong2502]

I think the slower Ogerpon is the issue for William, Ogerpon is meant to outspeed urshifu and rillaboom..

[@Drewxx1-n4x]

Love this match; violence everywhere!!!! It’s always boring when people keep stalling the match with parting shot, switching back and forth. Congrats to William

[@deathrukia90]

22:21 NAAAAAAAA que turno tan genial 😂🎉

[@joeldbaker]

85% of the time, Origin Pulse misses 100% of the time

[@letonalexander9789]

Don't know why Oliver didn't use incineroar in this matchup or roaring moon

[@zionhendricks7610]

Draco meteor and dazzling gleam on miraidon, and close combat on urshifu make it difficult and maybe some other things

[@cero0113]

How come there is no option for captions? 😢

[@re_vongola]

They always turned it off for clipped videos like this, its only on during live 😔

[@cero0113]

@ Ohh makes sense. I appreciate the info, hopefully we can watch the battles live in the future to fulfill our captions needs hehe

[@carlottafichera8454]
