Trying to make teams strong enough that I could win a Cup with them, and forgiving in bulk.
Ana Hoffman brand teamsheets below (to print and fill out or just to see movesets)
Note that Air Cutter Corv isn't legal for P!P until Sept. 16th, but Sky Attack should be viable too!
Pokémon GO teamsheet to hand to opponents (requires CP to be filled in as well as 1 of Corviknight's charge moves) Pokémon GO teamsheet to provide to TO, requires CP, HP, nicknames of Pokémon, and second charged attack on Corviknight. Also required name, PID, and DOB

Re-introducing team one-sheets!
I've talked to newer players; I'm re-focusing these on accessibility: no shadows, no XLs, few if any legacy moves.
This is based on speculative stats for the new season - but I want people to be able to work towards it.
Play Rookidee Community Day!
Team map featuring Corviknight, Altaria, Araquanid, Gastrodon, Steelix, and Dedenne. It shows Corviknight + Gastrodon; Altaria + Steelix; and Dedenne + Araquanid as strong cores of the team and presents fallback lines of 3 of Gastrodon/Altaria/Corviknight and Araquanid/Dedenne/Steelix. In these Gastrodon and Araquanid are labeled as the respective lead Pokémon and Corviknight and Steelix are labeled as the respective pivot Pokémon. Description of the ABB Map as displayed in the previous graphic. It is a graphical way of showing lines of 3 to players using connecting lines between Pokémon! A more basic guide to the team - it gives 6 different playable teams of 3 that allows a player to choose a team to play without deeply understanding ABB team structures. The teams are as follows [with the structure being lead/pivot/closer]: Gastrodon/Corviknight/Altaria Araquanid/Steelix/Dedenne Altaria/Corviknight/Steelix Dedenne/Corviknight/Araquanid Corviknight/Steelix/Gastrodon Steelix/Altaria/Dedenne Each team shows prospective threats to the team on the right-side of the graphic Substitutions are provided for players that may need or want them. These are presented as follows: Araquanid could be substituted for Golisopod Altaria could be substituted for Shadow Dragonite Gastrodon could be substituted for either Shadow Quagsire or Swampert Dedenne and Steelix could be substituted for Unovan Stunfisk and Tinkaton

NAIC FOMO + having time to introspect caused an NHoff Notes Post™️
Mainly sharing bc I've heard enough people say I'm gone for good or ask when I'll be back.
Excited for next year 🤠💚
Notes reading: So it's been interesting taking a year off. There have been a multitude of reasons for that, mostly financial (finally beat the job market in game 5), but some of the others have lessened as well. I feel loved by the community again, GO Fest was actually really big in that regard. Therapy has helped me drown out antagonists, as much as that's taken longer than I'd like. I've felt a lot of guilt this year about how few women we've had performing well at events, qualifying for worlds, etc. I'm incredibly proud of those who have, and I'm excited to watch them all compete in Anaheim, I'm just also recognizing that I was doing more for representation than I ever thought I was. And that's very affirming but also scary to see disappear. I am kind of two minds about it all, as some could expect given my experiences. Notes reading: I'm torn about next season. I have spent this year getting *really* good at the TCG. Like I genuinely believe I could spike a respectable day 2 result if my hands are running hot. And completing the trifecta of Liquipedia + Limitless Pages across the 3 games would be very funny and very satisfying. That's also a game where if I went to many events, trained harder, and optimized my season I think I could possibly make a run at worlds. And that is enticing. It's been really fun trying and learning something again from 0. And the TCG community doesn't have any of the established history, antagonists who know me, or bittersweet connections with former friends. Im a relative nobody with some cool friends, and that's freeing but also a double-edged sword. It is notably not my game. Yet. Notes reading: I think my plan is to GO hard until I'm firmly in invite range (or spike a win) and then enjoy TCG on the latter half. A bit haughty of me to say I can do, but also anyone who's seen me tap a phone knows that I absolutely have earned the right to be that confident. I doubt I travel award chase unless I *really* like the meta, and unless we get a reversion to the Surf nerf I doubt that's happening. Also that. Another reason I've been meh about GO: I don't know how much I enjoy OGL now that Fini is effectively unplayable. For all the "branding" there, the Pokémon is just really fun to play. But there are other fluid mid-bulk mons, I'll find something. Happy to hear suggestions there :3 As always, love y'all, and would always love to hear thoughts. Introspection tough. I'm excited to be back in the saddle 💚

Incredibly blessed to have AlphaFeeb in the GO community, especially now it's so appreciated to have a cis/het player take time from his interview to say this.
I'm so grateful to call him a friend 💚🏳️‍⚧️

After taking this season to grind it, finally feel kind of good at TCG
Happy with LizardPon, deck adapted from City League Zard/Noct leading up to Atlanta and then adjusted since. Strongest Zard deck I've played recently imo.
Ty @thadiff.bsky.social and Phoebe (my goat) for help cooking it 💚
