There was the St. Jude's VGC for Charity event this past weekend, and it marks our official kick off to Worlds! There were a lot of shake ups in the meta coming out of the first big grassroot event…
Yeah, that's a thing.
That happens.
Yeah.
And because I was like, okay, well, I can make this play, be done with this.
And then I just got lucky enough that...
Archaldon is effectively a mega.
Which,
yeah, my opponent, pretty much they got the grasp.
They took no damage on turn one.
They got rid of my mega.
Just miserable play all around.
I'm like, well, here we go again.
And then Arch comes out, and I'm like... wow, there is not a single Pokemon on their team that can deal with Archeladon.
That's the thing about these rain teams and why I like Archeladon, why I say Archeladon's a mega on those teams.
They have nothing to beat Archeladon.
Oh, no, I mean this as in they literally did not have a single Pokemon in their six.
Well, no, that's usually what it is in
general.
It's either you have an answer for Swampert or an answer for Orange, and whichever one you don't have an answer for ends up beating you.
Yeah, like, they were hitting me with Dazzling Gleam.
It was the weirdest, it was, like, the most best of, like, CTS, like, for rig.
It was three attack trick room, and it's, like, hitting me with Dazzling Gleam.
Yeah, that's a thing.
That happens.
