3 crazy things here:
1. There is a world where people are hired to talk about how fictional creatures can optimally fight other fictional creatures
2. This is that world
3. I am in the people
Excited, nervous and grateful for my first casting opportunity. See you all soon 🥳
New mechanic that comes with 245: If you throw a charge move right when you're about to faint to a fast move, you take the fast move damage even if your charge move KOs.
Example: Meganium dies to 3 Charms, gets off Frenzy after 4 VW, Charm damage goes through regardless.
As of tonight, I am on indefinite hiatus from Twitch streaming while I move and start grad school. I am incredibly grateful towards everyone in my community and the greater PoGo PvP community; it’s been a wonderful ride.
Some special thank yous here:
Had a great time doing my first cast in Sacramento! Feeling very lucky to have had these absolute pros around to show me the ropes (special thanks to
@SpeediestChief2
).
Thanks everyone for the kind messages, was truly overwhelming. Looking forward to the next one 😊
The time has come for me to stop streaming on Twitch. I haven’t been enjoying it as much lately for a variety of reasons.
Thanks all for the laughs and good times; I'm grateful I got to do this during the pandemic. Special shoutouts to toph town and my mods ♥️
I got a picture with the Sacramento regional champion!!! *fangirl noises*
Congrats
@0EL1TE0
on another incredible tournament run, so happy to see you absolutely cooking.

@CHA72LiE
I made it this long but somehow I joined the blocked club today
I didn't even so much as click 'like' on any remotely drama-related tweet
and i'm so cute and uncontroversial
🥺🥺🥺🥺
Took me 2 full weeks of battles (including an entire Go Battle Day) to go from 2920 to 3000 PepeHands
But at least I got it before this potato MLC league rotation ended. Yay!
Thanks toph town for absorbing my mald ❤️
I’ll be live for
#GOBattle
Weekend on the official Pokémon GO channel () this Saturday from 6-9pm PT! Come hang out with me while I play some GO Battle League. Some lucky viewers might receive codes for in-game items 😄
I hit legend today with a nice 5-0! Am thrilled to have climbed 250+ points in 11 sets after switching teams and ready to enjoy the rest of the season.
Shoutouts to my coaches
@_Haydonus_
whose team I copy-pasted and
@aleed_yasser
for moral support!
First time crocheting a pattern of my own! Came out a little fatter than I was hoping but I’m glad I have an Altaria for the collection.
Any ideas for what to do next? (Ideally something no more than 3 colors)
Yay 😀
Thanks to my coaches:
@thatboyjay1234
for internet support and sometimes gameplay tips
@aleed_yasser
for MLC coaching

for something I forget
Toph town for moral support
Seattle Go Fest was my first-ever in-person PoGo event and completely exceeded all expectations! It was absolutely magical to meet and spend time with everyone there and hope to go to more future events.
Please send any photos you have of me my way as well!
Honored to have had the opportunity to write the LAIC

Big thanks to toph town for keeping me happy and motivated this season ♥️
I'm finishing S8 at 3382, and here's how I did on my goals for the season.
Goals for S9:
- 1st page of leaderboard once
- Keep toph town happy and active
- Return to streaming in a sustainable way
Streaming has been such a wonderful part of my life these last 5 months - I'm excited to continue building community on Twitch and sharing my battles with you all as a Twitch Partner <3
And yes, I did think I was getting raided by
@Ccoftw
when I saw the spam ;)
Hey everyone! My good friend
@soph_toph
, as well as many other people in the communities friend Soph, just got partner on stream! Huge congrats to her, so well deserved!

Hello friends,
I'm planning to start streaming again this Thursday at 8:30 PM PT - going to aim for Tues/Thurs nights + random bonuses when I feel like it. Hardcore fans can check the Twitch schedule to stay up-to-date.
Very much looking forward to seeing you all again <3
Was hard struggling first half of the season, but all S9 goals were completed and finished at an all-time high hehe. See y’all next season.
Teams I used with most success: Meganium - Stunfisk - Sableye (GL) and Gliscor - Lapras - Escavalier (ULPC)

We're at the last Regional Championships broadcast of the calendar year! Check out who will be joining us this weekend for the 2024 San Antonio Regional 🌟
🥺 🥺 🥺
I’m super lucky to have gotten to work with the amazing
@holesomePOGO
who not only did heavy lifting during the cast, but has also been actively encouraging and pushing me to do better both before and after.
here’s hoping for more holetoph soon
one more post tonight
big shoutout to the incredibly talented
@soph_toph
I thoroughly enjoyed casting Pokemon GO battles with her this weekend in San Antonio
she absolutely crushed it with her analysis and game knowledge
thanks for putting in prep time with me
In this season's acknowledgments, I thank
@ytxpikachu
@pants_pasta
for getting me addicted to TCG, so that I increased my per-game brain cell usage instead of spamming 25/day as usual.
Honorable mention for those who hung out in yesterday's scuffed pseudo-legend-push stream.
Can we just get a Streamer Mode that does reasonable things like:
- makes the map blank
- doesn't show locations on Pokemon
- doesn't show locations on any gifts (sent or received)
- doesn't show email/login details in settings or on re-start
I am not ok.
@NianticHelp
I was streaming on twitch and the game logged me out without warning and displayed my email address on screen in front of TWO HUNDRED PEOPLE. this is NOT ok and my privacy is completely violated. Please amend this log out screen to NOT show the email…
Almost midnight here and my eyes are burning.
+550 in 25 hours.
Thank you to toph town for moral support, and ofc thank you to the
@EliteTms
homies - looking forward to warming the bench again next cycle!
Sure but Stardust is theoretically infinite for free to play players and Legendary XL candy isn’t, nor are hundo Legendaries.
LC also usually way cheaper in terms of dust anyway, like 100k compared to 500k for ML, excluding Bronzor and Wynaut.
I remember being impressed last spring by the speed with which changes were implemented to adapt to the pandemic - I hope to see some of this responsiveness now and acknowledgement of the 150k+ people who signed a petition and the 50k+ who are people tweeting

I'm going to set aside my opinion here and share a concern from the community. Although Niantic touts its community as one of its biggest strengths, they haven't done as much as acknowledge us on this matter.
So,
@NianticLabs

@SanctumSeries
for hosting! Their tournaments are a great way to get in OGL practice with a ton of strong players.
This is the team I ran (
@IlqmPoGO
also ran it and placed 5th). I’d recommend cutting the A9 for anyone thinking of using it.

@SplatoonNoob
leaking DMs and throwing someone under the bus - someone who clearly had put a lot of trust in you - under guise of servicing and growing the community is not cool.
Kind of random but I made a new logo for my Discord (toph town) and pretty happy with how it turned out! Thanks TTTers for feedback throughout and
@ytxpikachu
for the tip to use Dall-E, AI is amazing.
Giveaway with small challenge for

is officially the best faction in the world! It's been a long two years since Qualifiers. Incredibly proud of and grateful for all of my teammates, who are not only some of the most cracked battlers in the world but amazing and supportive friends 😇🥇
I found it so funny seeing all the comments about the “underdog” and “newcomer”- Sjay has been one of the best PvPers in the world for years.
He’s also an amazing friend and teammate and there’s no one I’d cheer harder for. Congrats on a fantastic first tournament!
🌟🥈What an epic debut from

Anyone else ever get excited about seeing a small, thin, purple Pokémon from above because you think it’s a nice Skrelp
Then you realize it’s a Purrloin
I'll stream a bit of Go Battle Day tomorrow at 12:30 PT :) feel free to come by and say hi
There will also be some cute giveaways

Emerald push and SD Regional prep 😊
Concrete examples of recent and unacceptable comments in chat: "will you marry me" | "can I simp for you" | "soph is really pretty" | calling me "sweetie" when I literally have never seen the person in my chat before
Recently have been seeing some concerning comments about female streamers. It’s not ok to call people flirty terms of endearment unless you know them and it’s ok with them or it’s ‘that’ kind of stream (there aren’t many in the PvP community so think once twice three times)
Have you ever thought about improving your Pokémon GO PVP game? Or are you just trying it for the first time?
