Patrick is based. Not a fan of Wolfe but just an example to illustrate how comp pokemon is a laugh, you're at the mercy of RNG every turn and that's basically what decides games. I respect him for going full snow veil + brightpowder, it's what compshitters deserve to lose to for taking this imbalanced mess too seriously. I would love to see the cope and seethe if he keeps taking Ws.
Abomasnow is currently the only snow setter in the game, and thus the only good Aurora Veil user. He's a good alternative to Grimmsnarl as a screen setter since he only needs one move slot and packs some strong coverage, Blizzard, Giga Drain and Earth Power is all it needs. Snow not harming non-ice types means you don't need to build around it anymore, you can just pack an Abomasnow on whatever team.
It's gonna get fricked if more snow setters come back in DLC though, especially Alolan Ninetales.
That's not analogous, anon didn't show his face nor seek to.
Yes!
Also this is fallacious, not just because it's a conclusion derived of a false premise, but because beauty is much more than skin deep. These guys are "beautiful" for following their dreams of competing successfully at pokemon while risking public appearance knowing they aren't traditionally attractive.
That's what accomplishing goals takes, over looking personal and external prejudice.
Strange, because the Irish Potato won.
>use favorite pokemon
>win in international world championships
B-B-B-BUT SMOGSHIT TOLD ME ICE TYPE IS BAD!!
Ice types are much more viable in smogon, moron. The people who complain about ice types are either novice vgc players or people who don't play comp.
What is that a mixed room team with Articuno using tailwind? Or is it some bizarre bulky Articuno using sheer cold? What the bird doing?
It’s a bulky Snow Cloak set with Bright Powder and Blizzard/Sheer Cold/Roost. The dude actually managed to make it to day 2 in worlds with this team.
cancer set but based for using his shitmon bro and doing well
Articuno's not even a shitmon right now, the combo with Abomasnow works and sees some use.

Articuno fricks now
>Abuse Evasion mechanics
>This means Ice is a good type
>TH-THE MECHANICS OF THE GAME DON’T COUNT
holy cope
if you want to cry about an actual bad type cry about bug
>noooooo you can't use this game mechanic its hecking uncompetitive RNG in my uncompetitive RNG simulator game
Seethe and go back to your fanfic meta smogkek
Hey verlisify
>only one guy doesn't like you, and he personally follows you around to tell you your posts are shitposts
Actual medical schizo behavior.
>abuse evasion mechanics
crawled out of your hole, huh smogon troony?
>Swagger? Evasion? AAAAA SAVE ME COUNCIL BAN THIS CHUD NOW
Yeah so it's less about ice being a good type ans more about hail being a strong weather condition.
holy megabased
I knew the def buff of snow would help Articuno
I automatically root for the team with the fewer of
- Flutter Mane
- Urshifu
- Iron Hands
- Amoongus
So I guess I am rooting for this guy all the way.
I know it was under snow but its still crazy to me this dumb bird managed to tank a double up of Urshifu’s Wicked Blow and Iron Hands Wild Charge

Wait! You mean, abomasnow, one of My favorites mons is actually good after hail/snow effect change?
Yes
Abomasnow is currently the only snow setter in the game, and thus the only good Aurora Veil user. He's a good alternative to Grimmsnarl as a screen setter since he only needs one move slot and packs some strong coverage, Blizzard, Giga Drain and Earth Power is all it needs.

Sorry about your hiccups, but it's nice that ice is back.
Their faces should be censored, they are so damn ugly
post yours!
That's the same reason I do not show my face online
>it's ok for pot to call kettle black if you can't see the pot
Yes!

why are they so fat
They're not really that fat, just a little overweight. What stands out more is how neither of them look happy to be there at all. They look depressed.
>anxious
?
is the game uploaded on youtube? I want to see articuno in action
every time i see a vgc thread my only thought is "did they cheat" lol
