Team Latias (6) vs Team Yveltal (6)
Gen 9 Random Battle: JJ09LIE vs pokeblade101 - Backing Blade in 3 close games
Gen 8 Random Battle: Tuthur vs Glop - No one can stop the Glop this year
Gen 7 Random Battle: Lalaya vs Legendary - Lalaya is having an incredible undefeated season atm but I think they were very fortunate to win last week against Bobo and predict Legendary to hand that first defeat
Gen 6 Random Battle: Sylvi vs Buhrito - Buhrito has impressed all tour so hard to back against them
Gen 4 Random Battle: Aquaa vs Dj Breloominati♬ - Aquaa in 3
Gen 3 Random Battle: Ereshkigal vs xGang - Gang has had a solid season after a slow start but it’s silly to back against a player at 7-2
Gen 1 Random Battle: MichaelderBeste2 vs nicomirra123 - I was pretty fortunate to win a decider against Michael in RBY 7U last week and his knowledge of RBY mechanics and general Pokemon skill impressed me, but Nico is one of the all time greats of RBY Rands so I favour him here
Gen 9 Hackmons Cup: sunsets vs platinumCheesecake - Solid season from Sunsets and I’m holding my former teammate to deliver once again
Gen 8 Battle Factory: Hacker vs kythr - Hacker has had a great season and I lean towards them; this one is close tho
Gen 8 BSS Factory: Dragonillis vs luisin - Amazing season from Luisin, predicting another dub
Gen 8 Random Doubles Battle: Eeveon7 vs Memoric - Eeveon has the slight edge imo
Mystery Box: Lady Writer vs LordST - Like Tarrem I’m a little surprised LW wasn’t chosen for Rby as he is on a good run in one of our big tours atm, but he has skill across many formats and I except a narrow win here
Tiebreaker
Ereshkigal v Pokeblade - like against Palkia I expect Latias will choose ADV. With respect to Blade this one should be a comfortable win for Eresh
Lady Writer v Luisin - Yveltal pick BSSF and Luisin continues his dominance of the tier
Lalaya v Glop - Still not even sure how the third format of tiebreaker is decided (is it just gen 9?) either way I’m going for the Glopper to end the tour with the decider win
And so I predict Yveltal in an tiebreaker 2-1, which would be a fitting end to a very close tour. Either team is deserving of the win though. Glhf!!
