It's me, the Hawlucha Sandy Shocks guy from the Portland regional! 8-1 in day 1, but unfortunately played a bit more sloppily today in day 2. Highlight of my VGC career was meeting @CybertronVGC and @Nekkra backstage freaking out over my team :)

Not much of a secret, but I've been using this team since mid-Reg D and even posted it here a few times. No changes from before except a few shuffled Farig EVs 🦒
BIRD UP!

Hey VGC players, I made a simple printable EV tracking sheet for keeping track of in-game builds so you don't forget something important like changing a nature! Here's an example of how to use it when you print it out.

Top 4 at Chicago's PC with an Empoleon revamp. Undefeated in bo1 Swiss but got cooked by Bobby's Heatproof Sinistcha 🍵 (who won the whole thing!)
Fun bird-compliant team but use with caution - I think the pieces on this team are becoming outdated

Got 2nd place at my first local and second ever irl event hosted by @ChicagoPkmn ! Team feels amazing to use. Thanks to the champ @AtrixMJ for the exciting back and forth games! #PokemonScarletViolet #NintendoSwitch

Brought Empoleon back for 2nd at the Chicago PC 🐧 Couldn't dethrone our king Bobby though 😩 +16, 128/500 Honolulu
Next PC will be my last in Chicago! I'll be moving back home to Colorado around the new year :)

Came into @Wiltank's ladder tour feeling silly, came out realizing Thundy + Arch is kinda serious 😳
Also I ran into the same player 4 times in a row thank you S/V matchmaking 💀

Top 8 today at Chicago's first 2024 PC. Fun team to build and play but leaning into screens instead of speed control definitely has its flaws.

Double bird, double header 🐦⬛🕊️ 3-2 Swiss in both the MSS and PC
I threw an important game in the MSS to miss good resistance then barely cut the PC. Still clawed my way to get 12 points!
Almost have a full team of point-earning birds 🦅

Hawlucha 2: Milking Milwaukee
7-2 day 1, 8-6 day 2. The competition today was tougher, not just because of Rotom missing a bunch of crucial WoWs and Hydro Pumps, but as the day went on I started facing way bulkier teams that I couldn't break through. 1/2

what better thing to do at a bar after we all crash out of a PC than to edit a YouTube vid @MoxieBoosted @AtrixMJ

A new bird takes flight! Aiming to make Staraptor the successor to Hawlucha this format 🦅
I won't be at any Reg D events (maybe a local or two) so I don't mind spilling the sauce now. Peaks so far at #45 on cart and 1777 on SD + a couple room tour wins.

BIRD UP! Check out this showcase and interview to learn more about Staraptor 🦅
As is tradition I forgot a super important shoutout again 💀 Much love to the Chicago VGC scene! We had a huge presence at this regional, with like half of us day 2ing!
In today's video we showcase @MrPTPablo super-cool STARAPTOR team that he used to get 10th place at the Peoria Regionals! Peter was nice enough to join me on call as we piloted the team on ladder for a few games. Check out the video to see how it plays out

Bonus comment: I had so many people come up to me in Milwaukee saying how inspired they've been by my Portland team or how I've released a Hawlucha frenzy onto the ladder😄I think I've accomplished my influencer goal for S/V VGC!

this is my confession that I'm kind of indifferent to birds irl 🤷♂️
All Pokémon Trainers have a signature Pokémon, but some have both a beloved partner AND a game-winning ace.
How about you? Do you have both a Little Guy and a powerful trump card, or is your best buddy also your best battler?

The team feels more solid than my original Portland variant since I feel like I can actually switch mons in😅This is the last major event for me this season. The locals and regionals this year have been a blast and I'm so glad VGC has grown so much! 2/2

4-3 in the VR Reg D tour today. Was super stacked! Ting-Lu is still cracked this format, but it's also a bit of a Tera hog and gets crushed by Rillaboom.
Enjoy the rental!

New peak at #26 a few days ago, then rode it out to stay top 100 at the end of the season. Admittedly better on CTS ladder over OTS bo3 thanks to the surprise factors of Urshifu's form and Scream Tail's moveset. Still recommend people give the rental a shot on the August ladder!

Staraptor + Farigiraf puts in so much work as a lead almost every game! Brave Bird damage is insane, U-Turn gives Ursaluna a head(long)start, and Final Gambit makes it a 3v3 game in a pinch. TR is almost guaranteed with this mode!

Wow thanks for the shoutout! Really cool to see one of my teams on a big player's YT channel.
Just an FYI I've been switching between Shedinja and Tapu Fini but I think the Shed version is still cooler since it attracts some of Kommo-o's good matchups :)
