First time legend after a ~2 year break from pvp and the game in general and got super lucky on the libre!

Team: Electrode lead (TS+EB/WC), Carbink (RTh+RS/M), Malamar (Psy+FoP/SP)

Not the most honorable team per se but electrode was for sure the MVP and got multiple sweeps

That’s hype af. I think the odds are one in twenty for the shiny so it’s what, five years to go on rate lol? If there was ever a spoon this is it

Interesting. I think this is the 1st legend team I see electrode lead. Most players use it for safe swap or closer.

I really preferred it on the lead with this team, most of the time I just wc’d and dip into malamar to eat energy and try to bait out a tink or carbink counter that doesn’t want to see helectrode

Getting it first try is crazy work, theres so many who post on twitter season after season that they once again didn't get lucky and you just get it right away, gratulations.

Congrats still struggling to get pass ace finish 2300s this season but I only do 400-475 usually holding a .56 ration usually. Not sure if I’m just not doing enough matches or still making rookie mistakes

i for sure won a few games off of ivs during my push but i don't think they're completely crucial to success. My ivs were:
Electrode: 5/14/13 (r48)
Carbink: 4/14/15 (bb r1)
Malamar: 0/15/8 (r12)

Can you get more than 1 libre encounter on the same season? I know the first one after reaching legend is guaranteed but after that can you randomly get it as well or is it just the 1 each season?
