Hi! 1001 posts (yay!)
This tour was a load of fun and I'm glad I got to play with my awesome team. We somehow almost made it despite having to eat a staggering four bans, which was pretty impressive. Anyway, here are some teams that I built / used for this tournament.
Week 1 vs 0.5Mirror (W)
I wasn't really sure what to prep for here so I decided to lean really hard into the offense matchup with this neat build. This Ho-Oh + Yveltal structure is something that I ended up reusing a lot this tour, primarily because it's really good. I played pretty badly but managed to scrape out a win anyway.
Week 2 vs byulharang (W)
Once again, I leaned really hard into the offense matchup with a double scarfer build and once again ended up in a balance mirror. Scarf Yveltal turned out to be a really sweet lure that did a lot of useful work and overall I feel like I played this one pretty well (except for clicking wild charge at the end LOL).
Week 3 (lol)
I kinda forgot to play but i built this really cool team! It's kinda weak to, uh, cm fairy, but that should still be beatable with cm ground plus marshadow.
Week 4 / 5 I just used bacon / fardin teams

here's the bullshit I cooked in 15 mins for the bo3 against agl lol

and here's what the sv department (the wonderful TaxFraud) passed

This tournament made me discover AG, didn't really had a good image of the tier in mind before it but it actually surprised me , i had a lot fun throughout this journey and i'm very happy i was one of the carries of such an amazing team for my first time.
So here i will share some teams that i built and used.
Week 3 Vs. zastra (W)
- This was actually the first team i ever built for SV AG, i took inspiration from the team temp handed me for week2 mainly with Miraidon Solar Beam luring in
that i didn't had chance to reveal the week before and knew was surely gonna work, was just fun to play and very good vs //, so i had to give it a shot at some point.
Week 5 Vs. McCrab (W)
Week 6 Suzuya Vs. Kanha Greninja (W)
- Built something solid the day before my bout with McCrab, Defensive + because of physical spam and boots spam just gives me advantage vs other balances because i win hazards war.
Suzuya re-used it week after and won too.
Week 6 BloodAce Vs. Darkrai Retribution (W)
- As name suggests the idea was going anti stall, just walls every classic stall so i just had to build something good around it.
The Ace liked it and i liked the fact he kept my teams WR at 100% so fair trade.
Others :
Week 1 webbingtons courtesy of temp : https://pokepast.es/6514670d2ff88000
Week 2 Supercell Slam Arceus by temp was working miracles until [Redacted] happened : https://pokepast.es/a1939d1ed9a6acd7
Week 4 tspikes glisc stall : https://pokepast.es/829a718a21aee3d3
[posting more later if allowed]
Again, i thank my teammates but a special shoutout to temp for drafting me for whatever unknown reason and learning me the tier,you're goated.
This is only the beginning, AGPL can't come soon enough.

Thanks to temp and Fluore for picking me up, you did a great job managing. Shoutout to all the team for being extremely cool and to Adhiraj8202 and Glory for helping out with last week
I can't be asked to remember everything I built or brought this tour so I'll just share some of the highlights.
If I can't even remember what I used do you really think I'd remember the reasoning?
I passed that last team to Frozoid for finals with some edits to make it more to his liking. Incredibly busted team with an insanely good matchup spread into pretty much everything.
Wow, what a first tour managing. I played like absolute shit every week but whatever. A quarter of the team including my co-manager getting banned was certainly an experience. Nevertheless, I did enjoy myself and hope AGPL is as fun as this was.

I'm bored and you can't be bothered for me to remember the explanations so gonna post without explanations.
The one SM team I used for Week Six: https://pokepast.es/f4b001ee42d4722a
Overall a really fun first managing experience. Our teams had the ups and downs, mostly downs but that's alright. Was a fun tour and big shoutout to all Hallowed Ho-Oh's members, you all were a pleasure to team up with and I was proud of everyone of you guys, regardless of your not so good results. We have unfinished business to take care of in next AGWL.
Some s/o's in no particular order.
PrimalKyogre thank you for managing with me brother, was a whole treat. Bit disappointing first tour together but I'm sure we guys will pick up
Frozoid Thank you for helping me run tests every week buddy, you were of great help
A special s/o to temp and Fluore for letting me help you guys. I'm glad I was able to help you guys win. You both are some amazing managers, congrats on the well deserved victory! Hoping to work under you guys one day in future tours.
Thanks Rose and Heika for being amazing hosts. You guys updated the spreadsheet at the speed of light, your work was and will always be very appreciated!
AGWL in particular was really fun regardless of our team's bad moments, I'm hoping AGPL to be a treat just as AGWL.
