Recapping My Runs w/ Blacephalon/Naganadel at LAIC + Daytona Beach and Looking at the Top 16 Ability Zard from Daytona Beach “The List: Blacephalon/Naganadel I started 0-3-0 then got a Round 4 bye, which I thought was hilarious. I started to bounce back and found myself at a record of 5-3-0. One more win and I would make Top 128, net 100 Points, and keep my OCIC stipend. I knew how important my last round was. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to win my last round, which was against Green’s/Zard. My opponent played very well and we took it to Game 3, but I couldn’t pull it out. It was a heartbreaking loss because I knew what was at stake for me.…

Rayquaza, Gardevoir, and Greninja for London, the CP Bar, and the Top Storylines Heading into the Weekend “The first deck I want to cover today is Rayquaza. The deck has a handful of unfavorable matchups in the format, most notably Yveltal/Garbodor. This is due to the oppressiveness of Fright Night, as well as the combination of N, Parallel City, and Garbodor shutting you out of many games. Rayquaza also struggles with most other Garbodor decks in the format, is unfavorable against M Scizor, and has only an even matchup with Volcanion. So you’re probably thinking, “Why would I ever consider Rayquaza?” There are two matchups that I really favor Rayquaza in: M Gardevoir and Vileplume. Gardevoir is…
It stashes berries in its tail—so many berries that they fall out constantly. But this Pokémon is a bit slow-witted, so it doesn’t notice the loss. (Greedent)
Smart enough to use tools in battle, these Pokémon have been seen picking up rocks and flinging them or using ropes to wrap up enemies. (Corvisquire)
Long ago, during a time when droves of factories fouled the air with pollution, _______ changed into this form for some reason. (Galarian Weezing)
