So I competed today at my local Regionals. I broke even with a score of 4-4 in Swiss rounds, 3 of the losses were really close. 

 

The last match I lost saw a Krookodile outspeed my Garchomp (Jolly). I thought it was a bit bizarre, as I knew Garchomp was faster and I wasn't Adamant. Then when I had a look at my Garchomp, I hadn't even EV trained it...

 

It would have been such a different day. :P I'm not upset from this, just shocked LOL

 

Overall, I'm pretty pleased with my performance. Outside of one match, I felt I played really well, even with the Garchomp, which put me in a lot of tight spots that I shouldn't have been in, but I didn't give up! GGs.
