Even in the intentionally losing category, Calyrex-S is too OP

Fun Fact: In gen 7, Skill Swap Magic Guard is actually banned because people start running offensive alakazam to kill 5 pokemon and then skill swap magic guard and the opponent literally cannot die with heal pulse support

So I was not bad at Pokémon, I was just playing the wrong format

Playing Loser's Game to feel like I'm winning by not using loser strategies and oneshotting everything

Finally… black sludge bisharp is its optimal set

"Loser's Game" nah nah nah the OG Name is the "Suicide Cup".

Praise the almighty Calyrex-S! Even when it loses, it still wins.

a few ppl here were talking about endless battles, and it gave me a funny idea for a format which would basically be a race to trigger an endless battle. whoever gets their opponent stuck first wins

I was waiting to hear Freezai do an 180 on his catchphrase “People play to win” when talking about tiers

Heal Pulse is insane in this format. Also, I didn't know Perish Song could be Baton Passed.

"Should I make this weird metagame?"

"I fainted, making me the victor."

When you try to escape Calyrex Shadowrider by playing The Loser's Game.

The stealth rock strategy should be called 'Self-Rock'.

the format where tera ice is strong is the one where you want to lose, thats pretty funny

I remember trying to make a team around intentionally forcing the Endless Battle Clause game loss, where I would use Block, Fling a Leppa Berry and then Recycle it. Was disappointed when that didn't win me the game.

I like the deep dive into an obscure metagame and it was fun trying to come up with my own ideas about the format before learning the truth (i figured out SR court swap yay) but it would he nice to hear a smidge more about the final tournament match than "one guy lost other didnt" lol

Funny uploaded after the meta game was unlisted for latter

Im surprised torment isn't used. They wanna steel beam spam? They can't use it twice in a row

It’s fascinating that a niche metagame like losing on purpose can have such depth
