2. Ashenkon from the Coromon discord wanted to watch it but said he can't hear well from a birth defect so Here's the entire script if you wanna read along!

   Now you may be wondering how I got here,well it all started a loooong while back when Congress of Crabs posted his Crab collection in the Coromon discord server.Me,being the swurmy lover I am decided to post my 6 swurmies too,One thing led to another and we decided that once mobile is out we would battle,6 Swurmies vs 6 fiddlies,all to determine whether Swurmies or Crabs were better.

   Fast Forward to November 8th,and Coromon mobile releases,I Solo the whole game with 1 Swurmy (Video for that in description) and begin making my team.Now I was making this team at a point where I was just ok at PvP,You know I could beat some noobs but better players would beat me most of the time and I gravitated around 500 MMR or so.But I had a lot of experience playing with Ucaclaw as it was probably my most used mon on my PvP teams.
   so I thought I knew how to exploit it's weaknesses,first of all it's slow and has no priority moves,Third it has low special defense and third uhhhhh yeah that's everything so it's slow and specially frail.specially frail,very important.

   So I set my mind on this 1 strategy where I would use Multiple swurmies to set up for 1 Swurmy,making it almost invincible for a period of time,in which I would set up Glass Canons as it was unlikely he would run any special attackers considering that's the weaker attacking stat and swurmy is a special wall so I wouldn't need the special defense,then 1 Agility training to make sure things went well and just sweep his team with Super drain or Clearing wind.The rest of my Swurmies had a few roles,two were Pista And Pomo to basically sac themselves to make sure that any threat that somehow got out of control would be quickly dispatched with priority.And then there were some more sopport/special sweeper mixes to have a swurmy for every ocasion.That's what I thought at the time at least.

   Now I was originally was supposed to use the perfect swurmies on my switch to beat him and Use my phone to play PvP through it by using cloud saves but I got tired of waiting and got the Swurmies again after a few days of hunting.and that's good because switch came out A month and a half after Mobile and by that time Mobile and switch were on diferent versions so i wouldn't be able to play PvP vs Congress anyway!

   Now onto our battle.
   CONGRESS OF CRABS I'M COMING FOR YOU
   Our first battle began,And I set up like I planned,Great he'll play right into my hands,but then suddenly My world was shattered,he was doing a lot more damage then expected.This is because even though Swurmy and fiddly may both be first stage evolutions,Fiddly has much better Stats,Traits and Skills.The rain Damage+Stab+Having the highest base attack in the game compared to Swurmy's abissmal  defense all led to Even my most set up Swurmy getting demolished.From then on it was a clear loss so I forefeited rather then get swept by a crab.

   We then battled again and things were looking to be much the same as the previous battle but suddenly Ms. Pepper,Dr.Pepper's wife,seemed to sweep his whole team.You see in the previous match he set up 2 Agility trainings and swept because in reduced RNG mode or pvp Multi hitting skills always hit 2 times,But stat boosts to your speed affect it further.So if you have a negative speed stat change you only hit 1 time and if you have a positive speed stat change you hit 3 times.Which basically means you can 1.5 your speed and damage at the same time,and a Cado fruit cannot save you.But since he thought 1 speed boost was enough this time he almost got swept because of it,he only got saved because he had a set where he uses last stand and activates his Hor fruit and raises his speed to KO next turn.To save myself from losing my most valuable team member I switched to my bulkiest Swurmy but he still stood no chance,So i sent out my priority swurmy which took out his fiddly but he sent out a setup Fiddly next which proceeded to tank Ms. Pepper's Clearing wind and sweep my team after that.I lost the battle but not the war.this is not the end.

   I trained and trained until I got to top 10 on the 6v6 Ranked leaderboard,I honed my skills further with Hundreds of PvP matches.I got more swurmy skins to increase my status and most importantly,I analized the games and realized my mistakes.I tried too hard to focus on swurmy's strenght's that I forgot to focus on Fiddly's weaknesses.Fiddly can outsetup me and will so I take advantage of that and Imediately Take care of fiddly before he finishes his setup,I also recorded the fight while my opponent didn't,meaning he wouldn't know exactly what to adapt,He'll just remember fast swurmy did lots of damage.I can use this to my advantage and assume he might use the same team,but he beat my swurmies so he's no pushover.While analizing Fiddly's skills I came to the realization that the Trait you choose changes your stats if you're devolved,At first I thought about how I could exploit fiddly using that,but later that night as i was laying in bed at 1:30 AM it hit me,I could also use that on my own swurmys,meaning that even though the traits were useless against fiddly,I could use the diferent stat spreads to Further increase my chances of winning.I went for antidote on all my swurny's as that does not lower my speed and only slightlty lowers my special attack and also only lowers my defenses by 10%,making me basically just humbee at that point.

   I also changed my team composition,Setup and physical hits are overrated,so I kept those to a minimum and filled the rest of my team with Special attackers to remove rain as well as deal a ton of damage.Also any not choice Swurmys also have trancending to make sure he can't sweep me at 1 HP.

   But cut the upbeat music.As I was strategizing I came to a big realization.If he ever just puts fully rested on all of his mons,Or puts like 20 points into special defense,It is impossible for him to lose,he literally can just Put Humidifier++ ,max sp.Def max Attack And live 3-4 Almo hits,or like 6 Regular hits and just trade 1 fiddly for 3 swurmy and win like that.The diference beetween swurmy and fiddly is just too great,and Even if I win,it'll purely because my opponent didn't know better.The victory won't feel as sweet as how bad the losses feel.Sitting here I realize that the most I can do is just accept the fact that even if I win it'll be meaningless,and grind away on other projects until fiddly gets nerfed and hope,just hope that I can beat fiddly at 100% one day.

   But my sorrow can't get the best of me,so I partnered up with Vareth and by that I mean using his damage calculator and using that I optimized the Humbee out Swurmy.I realized that I only need around 24 points into speed to outspeed max speed Fiddly "but Won't a Max speed Acor or 1+ fiddly outspeed you" it will outspeed me with or without the extra 36 points into speed,And while I could outspeed a 44 speed acor or +1,and 60 40 26 is a common Type of spread for potential points,if he wants a fast Fiddly he'll just max speed max attack and hope for the best like how he did in our first matches.The rest was put into defense because otherwise I would die from 1 splatter hit.I also made this Maca stone swurmy I didn't think of before which would live a Pista Or 3 hitting splatter,it would Clearing wind,Trancending and KO the Fiddly,I replaced the pista Swurmy for it.

   I also got 3 new Titan swurmy skins to make sure I have the intimidation factor.I put on the Vorst skin for type effectiveness and thus maximum intimidation.

   Now,January 10th, 23:00,it was time for our rematch,I warmed up on ranked 6v6,I lost a lot,but here we are nontheless.I readied up,made sure my swurmies made sense and I had the right sense and Locked in.
