Hey folks, a few updates to justmovefirst.com that I'd like to share
Firstly, I'd like thank everyone who engaged with the game in any way. The feedback has been fantastic and I'm glad so many people have found it useful!
Summary of updates
These updates were mostly driven by player feedback, there was an appetite for a harder game mode in JustMoveFirst so the Modifier toggle was added. Quite a few people mentioned they were using the game similarly to Wordle, so I thought JustDaily would be fun.
JustOHKO was a bit of a random addition but my friend asked me to make it after their Archaludon took far too much damage from a Venusaur Earth Power. It was an interesting challenge to try and present all the information required to calc in an intuitive way. I'm happy with the result but of course, always open to feedback!

Cannot believe I watched Joe have a better accuracy with sleep powder than my heat wave 😭😭
Insane tournament, love getting back into Pokemon a decade later and it being this fun. Trying some new things with some of these so let me know how you like them or if you have any other suggestions! My friends did watch me furiously edit and finish these while at dinner since I prepped most of it beforehand so there may be some slight formatting issues 😅 but overall I think they are good!
Next time you hear from me will be when I drop my showdown-replay-creator-takeover-play-again-training-make-replay-from-scratch-fun-practice tool. Exciting times before Vegas!
Louisville was suuuuuuper fun even though I've never experienced more unlucky games (Kommo-o getting ripped through setup, back to back paras and crits, confusion/hitting myself....) but while I wait to get get Korean BBQ I've made the event graphics!
Some really wild teams this time so hard to pick the weird ones fully (especially day 1 teams that almost day 2'd...) but super interesting meta shifts. I'm thinking of expanding the comparisons to the other events card to way more since we now have a lot of info, most likely will have those come with the top cut / final graphics. Congrats to all day 2ers and everyone who played! Good luck tomorrow, I'll be watching while at the Cup 🖖

Regular MB3/2 player here, how much time do you spend playing daily, especially in the closing days of a season? I imagine it to be progressively time consuming to climb to the higher ranks and stay there, right?
I want to tackle this personal goal this season and just want to have so input to prepare myself. I finally found a team that I feel comfortable with and will have some time during the next weeks due to an upcoming surgery.
First off I know M-C just started and looking forward right now is pointless so this is just to see what people want. But I think it's pretty interesting, since the philosophy so far was to add new megas and pokemon in each regulation without introducing any legendaries (except floette maybe). Basically regulation H but with megas, there's only one non legendary mega not in the game now though (tatsu) so we're at a fork in the road. Do they continue to hold off on legendaries or open the flood gates.
Personally I'd like at least one more format without legendaires and since there wouldn't a lot of mega stones needed this would be a good time to add eviolite and the other high impact items like assault vest, covert cloak, safety goggles, clear amulet, choice band/specs, etc..
And then for pokemon we'd of course add the eviolite all stars and their evos, dozo tatsu, maybe the ursaluna's, amoonguss, and hopefully some historically strong mons we didn't get to see in SV like ferrothorn.
basically I'd like to push the no legendaries meta to it's limit before escalating the power level another step.
I've been encountering this core quite a lot on ladder and having quite a bit trouble with it. It's very telegraphed what their game plan is, but that doesn't mean it's easy to stop it.
- They almost always lead with Raichu next to Espathra
- Raichu mega evolves into Mega Raichu X, which activates Espathra's Electric Seed with the Electric Terrain
- After one Calm Mind and Speed Boost, Espathra Baton Passes into bulky Archaludon
- Usually, Raichu switches out into Pelipper and Archaludon clicks Electro Shot
I don't know if this core existed prior to M-C, I had never encountered it before. I have encountered Espathra and Archaludon many times, but not the Mega Raichu X variant. But I'm seeing it a lot now, which I'm guessing has to do with the addition of Electric Seed.
I've just started playing VGC with Champions recently, and I'm still working on stuff lie analyzing team preview and what strategy I should be going for in a battle, so I wanted to ask if anyone had any suggestions for teams that are easier to pick which pokemon to bring and then execute its gameplan. I've looked at teams like trick room and some Charizard stuff, but I've had trouble deciding when it's best to use trick room vs. delaying it, and all the stuff around dual weather with Charizard kinda makes my head spin. Thanks for any help you can give me!
Quick question to see if anyone knows the answer. I’m about to attend the Louisville Regional, which is on the 9th of October, but my license expires in October 6th. I should be able to renew, but it would likely be one of those temporary paper licenses they give out before mailing ID.
Does anyone know at registration check in if this would cause issues? Has anyone gone with an expired ID or temporary ID. Wanna make sure I can play!
Thanks everyone.
https://pokepast.es/773d16d76ee7757f Team Idea: I mostly focus on speed being a priority and thats what 4/6 my team is made to do, while the other two are meant to support those who are speedy while still having ways to fend for themselves (I guess). The team is mostly from my previous season while the other two were the new additions to the Regulation. Lucario Z is there to replace the Tinkaton I had last season (cuz cmon why wouldnt you want a badass mega) and Cinderace (The goat) is there to replace Armarouge for more offensive pressure. Meowscarada has one of the most unique movesets out of the five with power gem being a dead giveaway, I call it the "The anti Zard-Y gun" as the name suggests its meant to KO mega Charizard-Y's and any pokemon thats 4x weak to rock. Plus Triple axel is really slept on as I've seen matches where Mega-Salamence gets KO by Triple Axel (Even with -2 atk) and Mega Staraptor (limits at -1 atk), Raichu-Y is there to give me more options to play againts a team that is slower than my second fastest Mega pokemon. Sableye and Pelipper remain as support for the team, however Pelipper has more room to be an offensive mon also, muddy water is an easy spread move with a good secondary effect, plus if I ever come across an obvious KO to pelipper all I can rely on is the Focus-sash he's holding. Sableye is the "Thrown wrench in the plans of the enemy team" with it not to be a defensive supporter but a offensive supporter, having the move quash to get by tailwind and trick room scenarios and also immobilize any spamming mons with the disable-encore strategy. The MVP in most battles is Meowscarada followed by Lucario, so thats why my team relies on A Flower (Cats) Dream
