      Have you tried Inner Focus - mental herb - Orangaru with instruct? Your team has several spread moves. Try Instruct , trick room, encore and an attacking move of choice like psychic. 212 HP - 116 Defence - 180 sp.atk. Psychic is enough to guarantee OHKO on an Urshifu with 60 or less HP EVs and Urshifus SP.DEF is very poor and it cannot 1 shot Orangaru even if it's adamant and choice banded....

    GGs. It's oddly poetic in a way that Michael, who frequently features in the background of your Smogon videos (such as the highest rated player on ranbats or the freedom cup...), is the player you had the most nailbiting series against and then went on to place 2nd.

    I loved this video. Honestly, event or not, you can still do laddering for vgc. Or, you can come down and chill in the vgc chatroom on showdown. A lot of other vgc players hang out in there, including chuppa cross, and Joe…something. Guy who used wo-chien. We’d love to have you join us

    You may have lost, but you still made it to worlds in your first year! That's probably amazing idk I never have competed. Love the content!
