didn't Golem/Exploud win a Canadian Nationals 🤔?

I dont know how research intensive this would be, but a top ten biggest brain plays in pokemon on stream would be cool.

Heya, It's Mike. I'm the idiot who lost to Curtis's quad potions. We actually played in swiss day one, and he wrecked me so thoroughly that night when we were figuring out brackets I was told I'd play him in top 8. My dream that night was about top cut and winning all my matches until eventually getting wrecked by Curtis and missing out on the worlds invite. Luckily for me he was on the other side of the bracket so reality turned out even better than the dream prophecy. The match is actually still around on youtube, Curtis has post commentary on it. I don't remember the games being that interesting, my only play was to try and oneshot something with mewtwo and get it back that same turn to take out his counter mewtwo and couldn't really pull it off. Really solid list + honorable mentions. I think I'd give the edge to the dark urshifu deck over mewtwo vunion, the flowchart of that deck and it's options was pretty insane considering how linear the formats had been.

Kling Klang UPC layout looking good boys!🎉

Buzz garb shrine was so sick when it turned up at worlds 2018

on the FlyTerra section: It is actually still quite good today as long as it can dodge fire luxchomp variants.

19:05 snorlax stall earlier this year didn’t play any energy. When they started adding in chi-yu they added fire energies

OH BOY! 3am, its Shift Gear Ppdcast time! 🎉 P.S: Armarouge dream still lives

ayy thank you for letting me get to do some work for yall! glad you guys fw it

wah gwan shift gear podcast

The Mike Fouchet intro song went crazyyyyy

I totally speak that language (never heard of this language I’m from Ohio)

yo new layout is fire

hell yeah brother

Lemme get that.

I just started playing again and I'm loving the roaring moon deck. For a physical deck I'm thinking of building that, dragapult, and Charizard

Still base to neo was my fav era. Rose colored glasses lol

Kids let me tell you haymaker was fun. Slowking was toxic on a whole different level. Haymaker did have counters (sorta) in the form of Blastoise/ Gyarados and Chansey decks but both of those has glaring weaknesses to haymaker. (Mewtwo/ me mine held its own sometimes) Slowking pretty much had zero counters tho lol

I took two weeks off from Pokémon and honestly I had the more motivated to play. The main reason I took a break because the deck I was maining wasn't as good an honestly I might just go back to the older build and enjoy Pokémon again.

Re-watching this after Worlds, I can't help but think Jesse Parker would have won Breakout Player of the Year with the addition of his Worlds finish.

Unrelated but I'm a huge FG player, been grinding for years and every 6-8 months I take a month long break from the genre to like, deep clean my house, organize stuff, play other games, etc. Every time I come back, there's a derusting period but my performance ceiling is always higher coming back to the game with a fresh head. Nothings worse than grinding a game you hate, because it's "what you do".

I still trust in Banette Gardevoir....it will come through in Gdansk.

Every team can take the season off unless the Warriors and Celtics. Steph Curry is going off this season and he's getting his 5th ring. Yes I'm a warriors fan and yes I'm probably delusional as well

Touching grass is great advice. It’s a game; if you aren’t enjoying it, do something else that sparks joy

I lasted all the way to the pack openings. Do I get help?

Heyoo! love the pod! I dmed ciaran on discord to see if yall would possibly want some graphics design work done! i can do like stream/podcast layouts & thumbnails or whatever else yall might need. would be so rad to do some work with yall :)

If there were chess clocks, nobody would be slow playing.

ayee thanks for the shoutout, also go jackets

Congrats on the Top Cirian. Lugia gang in the house. Nothing but the best at your futures tourneys

The absolute GOATS👑

Huge congrats on the big finish brotha and excited for you to take this next step! Wish you the best of luck!

Toronto regionals is about to be my first regionals, could you talk about what is appropriate to call a judge for?

The only thing I wish is that Terapagos could hit a smidge more in damage, but that may be asking for too much lol or Atleast a more reliant way to hit slightly bigger numbers

Is that a framed mew vmax deck in the back 😂

I think of that woman saying "you left yo' moms in the hood" every time I hear Ciaran or Aneil use Toronto slang

congrats on the new opportunity and leaving your job, best of luck!

lemme get dat whoppa this wednesday fam🍔

I completely agree with your opinion on Banette/Gardevoir. Its only bad matchups are Iron Thorns and Gardevoir, and neither of those decks are very popular at all currently (especially with Lost Box on the rise), and the Lugia matchup is the only one that's not at least 70-30. I think it's the best positioned deck in the meta currently. My locals are going to be in for it this weekend....

Good shit homie 🎉. A pleasure meeting you

Apologies to Ciaran for recommending the Najee fade before his 95% percentile career efficiency game. Hope Devonta did enough to still get the W

Great player Ciaran, congrats

Hello

It’s really dissapointing how quickly standard went down the drain with the new prevalence of dusknoir, ngl

So I was the bad guy submission: so I was at my locals I was playing a rouge control deck (lost origins boof with all the stellar crown stuff) vs gardi and my opponent plays iono and calls a judge because I didn’t offer a cut when I put my hand to the bottom of the deck and that resulted in a game tie making it were I didn’t make top 8. So the next week I bring bird and hit the same guy when he was on his win and in so I slow play the hell out of him so we tie again so he doesn’t make it…was I the bad guy
