How I qualified for Japan's Pokemon National Championships 

Ray showing his World Champ Difference!

This video brings me back to the days when I used to read your teams report on Nugget Bridge. Always inspiring to hear your thoughts about the game

Congrats Ray! Looking foward to see you back on the big stage

the return of the king 👑 good luck, have fun... japan nationals today, worlds tomorrow 🏆🏆🏆🏆

Thanks for posting this video, now when this inevitably floods the ranked ladder I'll know exactly what ev's, items and moves everyone will be using LOL.

My man King Rizzo playing hard mode worlds qualifying

I like your thoughtful EV spreads, that's one thing I need to get better at. I usually just do 252/252/4 and call it a day.

The fact that the only 3x World Champ doesn't have a hundred k subscribers is mind boggling.

Ray coming out of retirement. Congrats Ray 🎉

I’m rooting for you to be 4x World Champ!

Congrats! I love storm drain tatsu too. Been pairing it with quiver dance volcarona with tera fire heat wave and life orb

The Return of the King

This is so cool. Congrats Ray! Looking forward to seeing more of your play

everyone else takes the easy street otw to worlds......ray is out here playing against japanese meta....amazing

Its cool seeing you qualify with a Dodonzo Glimmora team. Freezai has been hardcore supporting it so I hope he keeps trying, there's still so much potential to be seen with the team like the storm drain variant which is a b01/closed sheet build.

The sponsor of this video part was hilarious hahahahah

Congrats !!

Ray Rizzo for his 4th World Championship win? Lets fucking gooooo

During the start of this new generation I was glad and almost dumbfounded with the upload rate you were delivering. My hopes started to raise higher for a somewhat serious return of the king. Then came this more quiet period with very few uploads and my dreams were crumbling. But here you are qualifying for Nats! You have my respect and admiration for being able to return to the competitive scene after such long "retirement". I myself have never played competitive pokemon and I haven't even owned a pokemon game in several years. Maybe I will get myself a Switch someday for just pokemon and see just how bad I would be. I don't know if there was more competitive news on your twitter, instagram etc. since I follow any social media platforms really half-heartedly. 😅

Wow, you're really an amazing teambuilder! I see why you've been 3 times world champion. Also can you put the pokepaste of your teams in the next video?

I really loved hearing you talk about your EV decisions, especially with regard to speed, as I'm _very_ new (and consequently very bad) at competitive play

Sooo, since you want extra damage AND multiscale AND flexibility for Dragonite, did you ever try... Muscle Band? o idea if it's any good but it fits all of those requirements, the question si only if it gives you ENOUGH additional damage xD

the goat is back at it again

Hex Flutter has been something I have been looking into as well. Though I was curious about it with Specs and a bulky spread. I have not yet found a way to set it up, as I don't want to use it with Glimm, but Lava Plume spam instead, my idea was to use Lava Plume to boost Tera Dragon Baxcalibur in Trick Room, at times getting bruns on opponents and using Flutter to clean up late Game out of Trick Room.

Great video man! And thanks for sharing your team and with such a detailed breakdown. Definitely made sure I’m subbed now! Gotta boost that ego to +6 for more great content XD

I find it offensive Gogoat is not featured. You know, cuz you're the GOAT!

what's your decision-making process when you pick the color of a storm drain tatsugiri

Have you considered using normal gem on Dragonite?

Hi Ray! Your new hairstyle looks good on you :) 😊

Hey Ray! World champ, I was wondering… when using substitute is it optimal to have your health stat not be divisible by 4?

Speaking of storm drain shenanigans, I'm here still saying gastrodon is a big ol beast in this meta

Stop at nothing 2023

Hey Ray, I know you are a super champion hero so this may not help But I sorta like this espeed/outrage/tailwind/protect dnite that I made with a silk scarf

I've been using that other team you showed before, and it's nice to see your adaptation. I cant wait to try this team too!

4th worlds win? 🤔

Mans is the Bill Russell of Pokemon. 💍💍💍

4-time world champion incoming!

!!!!!!

I wish i could battle you for fun ❤ love the team so glad to see you competing good luck world Champ 🎉❤

Pfft you wish you qualified for worlds

Storm drain Tatsugiri, nice

The 🐐 returns

Good info as always! Trying to join your Discord server but I get an error it's unable to accept. Not sure if from my end or the invite's.

That Glimmora set is wild, I love it

Is silk scarf Dragonite a happy medium?

Just curious, Choice Band Earthquake with no flying or levitating teammates seems like a bad idea. Did that ever come in handy for you?

We’re rooting for you ray!

ray going for the big 4?

Congrats my man!

The rizzler is back

Go Ray🎉🎉🎉

lets goooo

Get em Ray!

Pokemon is just getting stale. There's never any real variety in Vgc everyone runs similar to almost exactly the same teams and Gamefreak does nothing to make more Pokemon viable

gl Ray!
