Today is a good day. My wife and I get to take home our newborn son, Samuel, from the hospital. I reached R10 through sleep deprived sets at the hospital AND hit an all time best on the

Long grind this season but I’ve finally hit rank 10!
My team took me all the way from 2200 to 3011 over the past few weeks and I haven’t seen the same three in all my ladder matches.
Just wish I could see the leaderboard right now 😁

Not your typical legend post:
I actually hit legend this weekend. This season has been one of my better ones in terms of early and sustained leaderboard presence, but it feels bad for some reason and I had low motivation to post.

He was excited to see it on stage with his dad.

Let's correct mega evolution mistakes:
1.) Increase energy requirement and make it a permanent unlock with a long (once per day) cool down.
2.) Introduce free ways of earning energy, like walking with your buddy.

PvP quality of life change for GBL:
Instantly show the Pokémon form on switch in, not just its type.
Waiting a second to see if poli is shadow or a normal is licki or vig can be the difference between getting outpaced or counter swapping the wrong Pokémon and losing.

I didn’t vote, since I do attend these. But thoughts:
Here are the facts:
50% of players will lose round 1 - making their tournament run 2x as difficult.
25% of players will be eliminated after a playing for at most 40 minutes (2 rounds) — but they might have to wait 3 hours

Man I don’t think I’ve ever disliked a GBL format as much as catch cup.
I gave it a chance but regret ever queuing into it and never will again.
I just want to play my favorite part of this game without having all my progress taken away.

I hope Double Iron Bash gets buffed in the future.
Its signature move should at least let it beat Zacian consistently as it has a type advantage, outpaces to moves and doesn’t debuff itself in the process. 🤦♂️
Its also the most accessible mon in Master League.

The goal of Ultra League isn’t to knock out all three Pokémon—it’s about having more of your Pokémon left when time runs out.
