Shuckle Soldiers (6) vs Slay Queen Snorlaxes (4)

RBY Ubers: Eledyr v. Paulluxx - toss up tbh cause I don't really know either player went with paulluxx cause he's a manager so I assume he's better
RBY UU: phoopes v. Volk - Both Super good at uu. Both councilmembers, I think Volk is just slightly better in game than Phoopes. (Highlight of this series}
RBY NU: DiannieRatson v. Sabelette - Sablette has more experience in rby nu
GSC Ubers: Isa v. Inder - It's Isa
GSC UU: Alkione v. F1shingRod - dont know fishing rod too well so going with more well known player
GSC NU: MTB v. giraffefromholland - again don't know giraffe so going with player I know
ADV Ubers: Raph369 v. mad dawg - Raph369 is a really good adv ubers player and im unfamiliar with mad dawg
ADV UU: Mr.378 v. RampageWebber - don't know who rampage is mr. 378 has my vote
ADV NU: shiloh v. Ara - Ara is my friend but shiloh has more experience in ADV
ADV DOU: Concept Everything v. zoe - people with 3 letter names are good. (see Isa above)

Criminal Cradilys (5) vs Permafrozen Piloswines (5)

RBY Ubers: Fc v. stunner047 - should be super close but edge to Fc for slightly more experience probably
RBY UU: pokemonisfun v. Unowndragon - PIF is really good but unowndragon has more rby uu experience. slight edge unown
RBY NU: nicole7735 v. Togkey - Another close one but edge to nicole cause togkey is good but plays more of the current gen nu's and nicole has more rby experience
GSC Ubers: Amaranth v. kenny - hope kenny wins but odds are favouring Amaranth
GSC UU: Real FV13 v. LpZ - Another super close one but edge to LPZ for more gsc experience
GSC NU: Monai v. Estarossa - this series is full of close ones but this is prob the highlight of this series. I can't bet against estarossa in any gsc lower tier but wouldnt be surprised if monai won. (Highlight of this series)
ADV Ubers: LBN v. fourmi - more familiar with fourmi
ADV UU: Parpar v. Cam - Parpar had good records and super impressed me this year in uusd and uupl so i give it to parpar
ADV NU: HANTSUKI v. kael - close game hantsuki prolly takes it
ADV DOU: raisedintyo v. Grandmas Cookin - cooler name

Someone else do predicts too
 
RBY Ubers: Eledyr v. Paulluxx - GO SNORLAXES!!!!!!!! The Snorlax's RBY team support is absolutely insane, expecting them to sweep every week tbh.
RBY UU: phoopes v. Volk - see above
RBY NU: DiannieRatson v. Sabelette - see above

RBY Ubers: CollectorEly v. Enigami - i like enigami's teams so i'm rooting for him out of principle
RBY UU: Ice Yazu v. Shellnuts - Ice Yazu is so fkn good it's hard to root against them
RBY NU: royzin v. iKiQ - just a hunch

Criminal Cradilys vs Permafrozen Piloswines

RBY Ubers: Fc v. stunner047 - just a hunch
RBY UU: pokemonisfun v. Unowndragon - according to my sources pokemonisfun learned lapras was legal like a week ago lmao. they probably won't have enough time to fully get used to the meta by the time this match rolls around
RBY NU: nicole7735 v. Togkey - picking my friend b/c i'm biased. idc.
 
RBY Ubers: CollectorEly v. Enigami
Don’t know who collectorEly is but Eni is as solid as they come. With that being said if he brings something too weird you never know.
RBY UU: Ice Yazu v. Shellnuts
Really good set that could go either way, I think Yazu has that dawg in him tho
RBY NU: royzin v. iKiQ
IKiQ is always really solid and I trust them to handle business here


RBY Ubers: Fc v. stunner047
My highlight set of the week, I like both players a lot and have seen good things from both. This matchup is truly gonna come down to a few key plays but something makes me think stunner will get them
RBY UU: pokemonisfun v. Unowndragon
I’m consistently impressed by UD, and pif is pif but I don’t know how familiar they are with rby aside from slam
RBY NU: nicole7735 v. Togkey
Nicole is a special player, excited to watch her grow throughout this tour
 
RBY Ubers: Eledyr v. Paulluxx - Eledyr is alright, i don't really know Paulluxx's level
RBY UU: phoopes v. Volk - Both are very good, gonna be a close one. Probably the rby highlight of the week
RBY NU: DiannieRatson v. Sabelette - More experience in RBY NU

RBY Ubers: Fc v. stunner047 - stunner is sightly more familiar with rby but will be a close one
RBY UU: pokemonisfun v. Unowndragon - Edge to UD because they're more familiar with rby uu than pif
RBY NU: nicole7735 v. Togkey - I don't really know if Togkey knows well rby nu

Shuckle Soldiers (7) vs Slay Queen Snorlaxes (3)

RBY Ubers: Eledyr v. Paulluxx - Eledyr's really solid. Paul I haven't really seen play too much or at too high of a level, backing Eledyr bc of RBYPL showings
RBY UU: phoopes v. Volk - phoopes is an insane contributor to RBY and smogon as a whole but I'm surprised he's starting in UU because he's, uh, not that good. the NU pool is weaker and he'd fit there maybe, but he seems a notch below just about every other UUer
RBY NU: DiannieRatson v. Sabelette - diannie's fresh meat and Sabelette is after Serpi probably the most established RBY NUer oat, experience alone should lock this
GSC Ubers: Isa v. Inder - isa doesnt rly lose in gsc ubers unless the opponents are top notch and inder isn't quite there yet
GSC UU: Alkione v. F1shingRod - I've not kept too close tabs on F1shingRod and I'm going with the player with more overall pkmn experience, but it's possible the Rod will surprise me
GSC NU: MTB v. giraffefromholland - again more overall pkmn experience, but I've not watched too much giraffe they might surprise me
ADV Ubers: Raph369 v. mad dawg - close one, much like nearly every adv ubers game that is going to be played in this tournament. raph's great, but mad dawg knows his way around adv and I'd not be surprised at all to see him put up a great record this tour
ADV UU: Mr.378 v. RampageWebber - surprised to see him outside of GSC but a class player, I expect he's been practicing if he self-bought to play this and so he's going to be completely fine
ADV NU: shiloh v. Ara - better pkmn player
ADV DOU: Concept Everything v. zoe - not v familiar with concept everything, going w the person I know is good at DOU

Top Percentage Rattatas (6) vs Trailblazer Torchics (4)

RBY Ubers: CollectorEly v. Enigami - i hate saying this, but, who? no disrespect, just legit never heard of this player which is impressive bc I've dug through a lot of threads for this draft lol. eni's great, too
RBY UU: Ice Yazu v. Shellnuts - yazu was shaky in rbypl, shellnuts i feel has reached a ceiling of sorts until he finds a way to change his approach to the game and break through it. but that ceiling is high enough to take on yazu rn i think
RBY NU: royzin v. iKiQ - going with the fresher, more exciting name - iKiQ's been around a long time and never done too great
GSC Ubers: corvere v. Rhmsitb - bros rly stole my adv ubers to put him in gsc. crazy. i think this guy is high key good at pokemon, but corvere's slowly been on the rise and gave me a very tough time last time we played. i think he's close to being a top level player in the tier and i wouldn't be surprised to see him in officials in the nearish future if he shifts his attention to more popular tiers, one of the players to watch in the entire tournament
GSC UU: DugZa v. romanji - dugza's got very solid pkmn fundamentals, watching romanji's gonna be interesting as i know they've got potential too
GSC NU: chub v. BeeOrSomething - chub was kind of a steal, sure not a lot of gscnu experience but mons is mons you know? Bee's very raw and just needs more time playing pkmn, i'm afraid they'll get toasted by more experienced opponents
ADV Ubers: innovamania v. ArcticBreeze - one of the greats in OU, expecting skills to transfer here
ADV UU: Heysup v. JabbaTheGriffin - both of these players are the kind to draw a lot of their strength from specific meta familiarity rather than overall mons skills, the problem is Jabba's familiarity is much more with OU than UU while Heysup knows this tier inside out
ADV NU: Oathkeeper v. Stockings - damn close to a coinflip in my books, haven't watched Stockings play in a hot minute so I'm going with Oath
ADV DOU: Dj Breloominati♬ v. Memoric - spitfire's popping off in the adv dou individual but i don't put too much weight in single tournament results, memo's a different class in DOU and likes the tier so I expect him to do really well

-

cradilys 10-0
 
RBY UU: phoopes v. Volk - Volk is very good and phoopes apparently has used up all his luck recently, which is only present every 1 out of 30 battles lmfao.
RBY UU: Ice Yazu v. Shellnuts - Close but Shellnuts big brain approach to the game from a theory perspective is sometimes a detriment, when games can go very differently in this tier and throw gameplans out the window.
RBY UU: pokemonisfun v. Unowndragon- Didn't pay attention to draft, subs, managers, etc. Pif is very good, but he's facing Unowndragon and Unown's kryptonite is only me and Torchic present day. PIF your application to this exclusive club is pending.

Not doing predicts for other tiers cause I don't know 82% of you. Sorry I guess.
