>>175081715-4. I lost 1 game to choosing the wrong pokemon to bring in (I should have brought in reuniclus+Kanga as my opener vs CharY and Venusaur instead of Rotom-W+Salamence, I did this when I faced another CharY+Venu user, and it ripped them apart). I lost a second game to being dumb involving klefki prediction at the start (he got off reflect/LS because of me expecting something different from his opener and using quick guard instead of just faking out and fire blasting it).
I then lost to Huy of nuggetbridge in the 8th round due to him outpredicting me.
And my 4th loss was utter BS, because it was the culmination of:
-Getting hit successfully by a single Hypnosis on my kanga (65% chance)
-Crit negating intimidate reduction, OHKOing my reuniclus (6.3% chance)
-Got the min-roll on hydro pump, letting his rotom-h live to fuck up my game (<40% chance)
-Missed the Will-O-Wisp that would have saved my kanga (15% chance)
-Missed the Hydro Pump that would have killed his rotom-h (15% chance).
I still did better than I expected for my first VGC, especially with very little formal competitive doubles experience.
