dat lapras
he could have won game 2 by using freeze dry on politoed but instead he used ancient power twice probably trying to rise it’s stats…
Ice Shard, Freeze Dry, Ancient Power and Hydro Pump with an assaul vest equipped?
I would love to know it’s ev spread, i’m just curious.
As was pointed out by the commentary, it’s more likely that Lapras was trying to catch Talonflame on a switch.
Pretty interesting, finals should be good.
My son, Phillip, took 19th for juniors… But I just don’t understand how the system of determining top cut makes sense… I feel for the little guy because just like most of the kids that made top cut, he had a 5-2 record. It just doesn’t sit well.
We’ve had a great time in Indy this weekend and he is looking forward to the multi battle with his new pokebud, so it’s great he has already bounced back!
It’s based off of something called ‘resistance’, or basically how well the people he lost to did. The others with 5-2 may have lost to someone who went 7-0 or 6-1, therefore boosting their restitance and putting them higher on the rankings.
I get “how” it works, I just don’t get why it works.
with that many people attending these events they have to do it that way. i really dont see a better way to determine who gets to topcut….
Is there a place where you can re-watch the streams somehow? The fights all took place during the late hours here so couldn’t watch them

just look up past broadcasts or the video tab and they should be there for viewing
Thanks a lot!
