When you're really trying hard to knock out your first (Nifty Or Thrifty) full meta overview (for Halloween Cup) in quite a while and the list of Pokemon to cover runs WAY off the page.... ✍️

Times are a little tough right now, but things are looking UP for Spidops! With Shadow Claw a last minute, surprise add to its moveset, this little bulky arachnid looks likely to now emerge as a Great League star! 🕸️ Come with me as we go Digging Deeper. reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad…

Yes, I’m trying! ✍️ Spoiler alert: okay in GL, but UL is more where Grimm can bring the sauce….

It’s time to GO Wild… with the new Grimmsnarl! How does this unique beast look in PvP? Let’s check it out, Pokéfriends! reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad…

Well if this whole shutdown and working without pay for 40 days thing doesn’t change…. 🤔

#PvPfacts returns ahead of next week’s LAIC Championship Series Cup! Gyarados is able to beat ¾ of the format including all Ghosts but Haunter/Gengar & Drifblim, all Grounds but Runerigus, all Dragons but Goodra & Altaria, and ALL Fires, plus Metang, Bronzong, Dodrio and more!

Altaria should be great in next week’s Championship Series Cup… just not with new toy Flamethrower. Dust off your old Moonblast variant to add on Grumpig, Dusclops, and the mirror to an already robust winlist that includes 70% of the format’s eligible Pokémon! #PvPfacts

So yes, the improvement for Toucannon with Beak Blast is definitely there. I mean, with very meh alternatives (Rock Blast, Flash Cannon), that’s no big surprise. But with a now all-Flying moveset, will it actually live up to this simulated performance? 🤔 Analysis when I can! ✍️

Glad I had not advanced TOO far in the meta analysis yet… but far enough to have to redo some work. At least we know BEFORE the Cup drops, for once? Small victories…. 🤷‍♂️

Appreciate the acknowledgment, but uh… how long does this take to fix? We’re at 26 hours and counting now, and a LOT of people have pointed this out in that time. Also, while we’re at it, Niantic Support, Hisuian Zoroark is banned and should not be. Can we check that out too? TY!

It appears that Hisuian Zoroark is now properly whitelisted for Championship Series Cup. Shadows still (improperly) allowed….
