Chespin did better than I thought tbh. But also that division was overall really weak imo. Second one that day was very strong though.

A ghost type Pokemon based on dead coral is pretty inspired tbh, bonus points for being an evolution of a Pokemon that is at best considered middle of the road overall.

Ground/water is one of my favorite combo types and Seismitoad makes up for the really awful stage 1/stage 2 looks in that line. Shame he went out over a couple of those other ones.

Eldegoss did not deserve to go out from that group either.

Cursola in second is great though.

Lapras 84
Fuecoco 42
Zekrom 19
Ogerpon 12
Rhyperior 0
Hariyama -5

Scraggy -19
Duraludon -29

I knew it was in the running to win the division, but it put up the highest score of the tournament, against I think significantly tougher opposition than previous record holder Cubone.

Dud of the Day: Rhyperior
Speaking of people I thought were in the running to win Psychic Terrain.....

Yeah, agreed. That was the real star performance.

It's hard to nail down a dud but I'd probably just say "the future mons in general," or maybe Duraludon

As someone who likes Duraludon, I didn't think he'd do great, but losing to Scraggy is definitely a dud-like performance imo.

Depends on what a Star is,

Performance vs. (my) expectation. I had Lapras at like +30 and Phantump at like +20 so

I also don't know the last couple gens well at all, so I avoid them for Star/Dud unless it's a situation like Cursola where none of the mons I know well DID stand out

There's something weird with the results

They should add up to 0 but Psychic Terrain has a net score of +57 and Agility of -36 which is a lot lol

Some of the previous days also have smaller inconsistencies

Speaking of people I thought were in the running to win Psychic Terrain.....

Meanwhile, I'm surprised Rhyperior actually lived. Poor Scraggy.

But yes, great result for Phantump. Disappointing that Zekrom didn't score higher, but at least it's alive. Ogerpon surviving is also a nice surprise.

Star of the Day: Omastar
Phantump +20 still makes sense to me!

Dud of the Day: Rhyperior
