between packs and wonder picks, what would be better?

polar osprey
#

packs

#

wonder pick resources are way too costly

golden lance
#

i see

"A big hand may not be as useful until that one card pops up. I have a deck that’s built around drawing as many cards as possible early on (Meowth, Pokeballs, and Prof. Oaks) and sometimes all I need is that one basic Pokemon to win. A red card could easily change that and limit what I can work with. "

#

THEY FUCKING

#

DOWNVOTED THE ONE SENSIBLE COMMENT ABOUT RED CARD

#

I can't wait for ladder

#

if you are a good player you just play all the cards in your hand as you get them

#

people just have no game sense it's insane

#

if they have a big hand is bcs all the cards in their hand are bad so they will thank you for making them go -3

#

I wonder if these people have ever played a card game before

void herald
#

probably not

#

Almost had a heart attack, going back to SV, dont saw the shiny Vulpix I last caught, thought I didnt save, then I saw her in HOME sweateragent

golden lance
#

I whiffed the blastoise

normal cave
normal cave
#

Look at me. I am the aggro deck now.

#

Was some weird persian centiscorch deep draw deck, they sabrina'd out my dratini turn 1, and I whiffed the misty on the snom. So I just beat them on the head repeatedly with some noodles.

#

TCG talk has me really thinking more about cards

#

Already beginning to miss the Delcatty from the ex sets

#

1: This card was incredible back in the day, and I feel like it'd still be wonderful if it were usable today. Of course it would need a different attack since 10 x the total energy attached to Delcatty is... eh.
2: Delcatty is a nice kitty

kind vortex
#

meanwhile run and bun players hating delcatty's existence

normal cave
#

Draws more, deals less for the same amount of energy (sort of thanks to DCE), and more restrictive on the draw

#

Zoro GX was in p much every deck, so I can see this being the same

polar osprey
#

basic ass radiant greininja nowadays discards an energy to draw 2

#

and then there's this

normal cave
#

This just lets you turn brain off and spam energy

hasty anchor
#

I love how you can choose to draw less than 3 cards if you wanted.

#

Why is that even an option? Give me all the greed!

polar osprey
#

it combos with raging bolts

#

and other decks

#

but raging bolts and drago are the 2 big ones

normal cave
polar osprey
#

bolts can discard energies from your mons and deal 70 damage for each energy discarded

#

allowing it to ohko anything

normal cave

Dude...

the heart one is actually cute

fading stratus

that looks cursed

really cursed

pseudo goblet
#

The bent pack thing works for the second time, got a second Vaporeon out of it

mighty storm
#

The moment you selected the expansion from which you want to open a pack, the server generated the contents of the pack. If you don't believe me, as soon as you select the expansion to open a pack from, close the game. The game itself will give you a message about you receiving the cards despite it being closed at the pack selection. - A youtube comment

maiden flax
#

Very likely meaning that the bent pack thing is closer to the 5 star hints we get in gacha games where it's there to tell you you got something before you open pretty much anything

pseudo goblet
#

Ughhhhh Why the more op cards in other pack KEKW

mighty storm
#

Mew under the truck of Pocket

pseudo goblet
#

Or better yet, Why can't I get the op cards from the pack Im on lol

mighty storm
#

Or if youre me, saying wake up into the DS Mic in Diamond/Platinum to wake up sleeping pokemon faster

maiden flax
#

Lol

pseudo goblet
#

lol

mighty storm
#

Becket said it works so clearly it works CheemsCozy

maiden flax
#

But yeah
I think it might indicate that the packs do have something rarer

But it's every single one regardless of if you open the specific pack
Which would explain why it became such a myth

pseudo goblet
#

F it, might as well try see what I can get from 2 pulls

mighty storm
#

btw question, if I dont log in for a day will it still count my packs?

#

and continue to the next one

pseudo goblet
#

I havent try

mighty storm
#

(IE in 48 hours it would have 4 ready for me)

pseudo goblet
#

rn my timer is around 12 pm and am

#

Not even a bent this time, only got a new card Sandslash and Dragonair the 3rd

#

Bent on zard and saw something epic

#

EX CHARIZARD, NOT ERIKA BUT SURE

maiden flax

I think did react to it

#

yup I did, jesus KEKW

normal cave
pseudo goblet
#

cracked pull?

#

also yeah Im gonna craft Erika later

normal cave
#

Cracked = insane, amazing, broken, really good

#

And pull is a card you pulled from a pack

Fuck if I know

Only thing I need now is Bergmite/H. Avalugg as a Shalpha

fading stratus
#

Oh are you using the double dragon team yozz

#

With dnite chomp

#

Tera fairy dnite? Was it loaded die scale shot

spice rivet
#

Ya the opposing was Loaded Dice

#

Honestly, I'm not really digging this format rn. I just used a rental that was based on the team that won Lillie Regionals

fading stratus
#

Loaded die scale shot dnite is probs really good but I kinda like tera flying tera blast

Very unfun mon

#

Also because you dont have big mons that centralize the format things feel too open in Bo1

#

Sometimes you just lose to certain teams because you don't have the answer or theres a hella funky Tera type etc

#

Like I ran into Tera Rock Primarina tonight

#

Some really wacky stuff

fading stratus
#

Wtf

#

What's the reasoning

#

Rock resists poison and e speed ig

outer eagle
#

when you reallyyyyy want steel's poison and normal resistances but hate incineroar copium

fading stratus
#

we should give dragonite dual wingbeat

#

then maybe it'd be good even after tera is nonexistent

outer eagle
#

give Lando Brave Bird first EZ

I need to try…

Man what is it with Lilligant and Venusaur lately

#

Oh wait, as in H-Lilligant?

fading stratus
#

yeah

#

but another is okay too

jumpluff does what regular lilligant does better because its faster and gets tailwind

electabuzz is pretty good rn

Man Event Chansey keeps avoiding me… so much so I failed a 2/5 chance just now

normal cave
#

I am cooking

#

Okay, so far, it has less problems than frosmoth dnite, but it still has problems. Namely, relying on multiple evolution lines makes it brickey as FUCK.

#

But Zebstrika is actually insanely good for cleaning up after Dnite makes a mess, and it only takes 1 energy. Snipe those low health basics and take the W. If they beat Dnite then you can still checkmate with Zeb.

#

You are not going to beat Pikachu tho. Deck is too brickey and not bulky enough to tank hits from pika.

fading stratus
#

btw @outer eagle rilla did win its first regs this format

#

this was the top 8 there were 6/8 rilla

golden lance
#

bro for one second i thought that the rillaboom at the bottom was a simipour instead

fading stratus
#

holy dont scare me like that

pseudo goblet
#

Got my second Frosmoth card

fading stratus
#

now get your third

normal cave
pseudo goblet
normal cave
#

Time to flip tails on misty and uninstall the game

normal cave
fading stratus
#

so he can run it in 2 decks

pseudo goblet
#

Again, no need for that lol

#

Also jesus Erika makes the game bit easier, even with just one copy, imagine two

normal cave
#

Chat, I ran into Psyduck Gengar

#

The whole deck was "no supporters ever"

#

...okay but how does that win games?

#

Unless you're facing a misty deck or weezing, locking supporters is not an issue.

vagrant steppe
#

Ayy never punished on wonder pick

normal cave
#

Vs most decks, you are only bricking their oaks. Which sucks, but not the end of the world.

vagrant steppe
#

First Mewtwo EX

normal cave
#

Outside of FA Dragonite, wonder pulls have been mid for me.

#

I do love my 2 FA Dnites tho fluff

vagrant steppe
#

I've gotten a Moltres ex and now Mewtwo off wonder pick

normal cave
#

Owo

#

I'm saving up for weezings, but wonder pick only offers me full art weezings

#

I don't have the stamina for that

Christ 20k viewers on pocket in twitch

#

Tho I wish the genshin tcg had it's own category on twitch because watching people playing it on the usuall genshin tag is impossible

normal cave
#

Pocket blew tf up

#

Saw megamogwai and regiskiblin making pocket content

normal cave
#

Put the fear of god in an alakazam stall player by sniping their abras all game with zebstrika

#

I split the damage initially so if they commit to evolving one, I'll be able to take it down fast.

#

Also red carded them after they koga'd and got a meowth draw. Silly card.

#

Yeah I am loving this sooo much more than frosmoth dnite. Zebstrika sets up future Dnite KOs, removes key basics from slow decks, and just puts a reasonably bulky pressure tool on board for only one energy.

#

Shame this deck eats all of the dicks to Pikachu. Actually unwinnable MU.

pseudo goblet
#

Finally, 3/5 event chansey and got her

normal cave
#

V nice

viral ingot
#

Man, been pulling crap from my daily packs. My Wonder picks have been hit or miss. I did get my 2nd Starmie EX and a FA Dragonite out of it, but that's about it.

#

Should I prioritize getting Greninja for my Starmie EX deck, or Articuno EX? Seems Greninja is much easier to pull, but I never got him until now.

normal cave
#

Cuno Starmie is a meta deck

viral ingot
#

Bless be. Anko_Pray

normal cave
#

Greninja is brickier by virtue of being an evo mon

viral ingot
#

So I gotta start pulling from the MewTwo pack then. kek

#

Haven't gotten any holos from it yet, but maybe my 10 pack will once I get 120 hourglass.

normal cave
#

If you want to play cuno starmie yes

#

You could also play ninja starmie. It's just got the problem of all stage 2 evo decks.

viral ingot
#

Yeah, bricks. Sadge

normal cave
#

Greninja itself is good and pairs amazingly with cuno or starmie. But stage 2 decks brick super hard, esp if you run another evo line in there.

#

Also, pika kinda obliterates you unless you highroll misty. And Misty feels soooooo bad to play

viral ingot
#

Yeah, it's a dice roll for her.

#

Well, coin flip, but still.

normal cave
#

Maybe don't play a cuno deck, since cuno lives and dies by misty

#

Its attacks have bad rates for energy, but misty breaks it wide open.

#

Highrolliest highroll deck to ever highroll

viral ingot
#

Oof, so Greninja it is then?

#

Or something else?

normal cave
#

It WILL make you hate yourself. I mean, look at what Misty did to @golden lance

normal cave
viral ingot
#

I looked at Pokemonmeta.com, but most people are playing either Greninja or Articuno EX...or both.

normal cave
#

I'm not sure there is a right answer

#

One suffers from bricks, one from coinflips

normal cave
cunning shard
#

Is that dkayed site?

viral ingot
#

Ye

normal cave
#

The only people that can contribute to data there are Dkayed's premium subscribers. So anything that becomes popular in that niche community will be claimed to be universally popular.

golden lance
cunning shard
#

Legit used to be on his discord made elementsaber invoked was meta for a year there

viral ingot
golden lance
#

Yea invoked was ass but it was the easiest thing to play

viral ingot
#

Even shows you where to obtain the cards!

golden lance
#

So while thundra was performing nuclear fission they were normal summoning chocolate magician girl

normal cave
#

Yeah, greninja starmie also seems like a good option there too

cunning shard
#

Will have a hard time to establish as well as in yugioh because Pokémon community is bigger and allready has sites like limitless for topdeck etc

Nah dkayed got that cult grindset going, he'll be fine

Outside of Muk, darks have shit damage.

Wait, even muk has shit damage

bro

normal cave
#

120 for 3 energy, if the opponent is poisoned, is mid

polar osprey
#

I gave up about talking about decks in the pocket sub

#

when they told me

#

3 energy dragonite

#

was optimal

#

bcs some youtuber said so

normal cave
#

Megamogwai

polar osprey
#

they said you had to play dark energy

normal cave
#

Yeah I saw the video

polar osprey
#

making the inconsistent deck even less consistent is the way to go guys thrust me

for like a 10-30 poke

normal cave
#

Mogwai has fucked up the LoR subreddit's perception of meta too

pseudo goblet
normal cave
#

This isn't the first community he has dumbed down

polar osprey
#

nite stall one niche is a good mu against mewtwo

#

if you get dnite online fast enough

#

3 energies works against that

#

it's not rocket science

normal cave
#

Yeah it's dumb

polar osprey
#

also I just got 4 eevees in 1 pack

#

fuck me

normal cave
#

Speaking of Dnite, you know what is NOT dumb?

pseudo goblet
#

I think I had two same card in a pack once

normal cave
polar osprey
#

chosen by what

#

the bad luck Gods?

normal cave
#

By penny

#

You are now the eeveelution spammer

#

Mediocre movepools and stats all day

polar osprey
#

I completed every type mission for the premium pass

#

except for steel

#

the game has like no steel cards rn

pseudo goblet
#

Okay where were these for the past few days cheems

#

Watch me get the meowth, I really have bad luck

normal cave
polar osprey
#

yeah he is one of the 6 steel mons in the game rn

#

or something

normal cave
#

And he's got decent stats

#

Bisharp melmetal can work

#

Also, I forgot to tell you

#

I'm testing Dragonite Zebstrika

Ice types weak to metal

#

Ahhh

normal cave
#

Frosmoth

polar osprey
#

fighting loses to water and dark some times also

#

fighting is 4 different types

How does fighting lose to dark

pseudo goblet
#

Nonexistent anymore but ask anyway, whats for Fairy weak and advantage?

normal cave
pseudo goblet
#

Did some poison types sort split into Psychic???

normal cave
#

Yes

pseudo goblet
#

Okay then

normal cave
#

Poison was either dark or psychic

#

Originally, it was only psychic

pseudo goblet
#

Ah

normal cave
#

Now my hand is good but I lost at deck reveal

btw, won against mewtwo ex today despite double tails on misty

pseudo goblet
cunning shard
#

Muk is okay just play 1 line of it tho and never koga it since that's not worth it since u will never be able to have it being able to attack more than once it can oneshot mew2ex tho

#

U pretty much usually try to lock ex with arbok

golden lance
#

btw do we have a guy that attacks using only colorless energy that isnt colorless itself?

cunning shard
#

That fighting type stage one

#

Winfu or so

ah mienshao

Stupid German names reminder I have to set it to English

it can 2 shot pika ex via weakness

cunning shard
#

Omastar is annoying if you are up for misty gamba

golden lance
#

funni

cunning shard
#

Too bad pika ex will usually finish it before since u need 2 turn and only habe 80 hp I think

#

Or 90

golden lance
#

it has 80 yea

#

btw you know what i wished we had?

#

prism star ditto

#

i loved that guy so much

vagrant steppe
#

Love losing to just zapdos ex (no pikachu from what I can tell) because they rolled 4 heads on hurricane

cunning shard
#

The only reliable energy turbo in this game is Brock Hahaa

golden lance
#

put this dude in pocket

#

would fix (almost) everything wrong with dnite atm

last musk
#

Honestly a ditto that could be used as a substitute for a basic/stage 1 to evolve but keeps it's hp would be cool as hell

cunning shard
#

If u ever face prime ape never ping the mankey

vagrant steppe
#

Man fuck this shit tonight

cunning shard

Better player simply one

I want ditto to be base set ditto

normal cave
#

Tbf pika is leagues better than all other decks atm, but not everyone plays pika

vagrant steppe
#

Yeah Pika clears as long as you don't brick

polar osprey
#

bcs the pika pack is ass for anything but pika

#

by the next month everyone is probably gonna have pika

vagrant steppe
#

Sacrifices must be made for best deck

polar osprey

after they clear the zard and m2 packs

vagrant steppe
#

I'm doing pikachu first, then moving to zard

polar osprey

I did m2 first now I'm doing zard

the urge to spend my hourglasses is strong

vagrant steppe

Not sure if it's worth saving them rn

polar osprey

ye it's free

#

why wouldn't I

golden lance
#

Fair

cunning shard
#

Theres 2 weeks free trial version

normal cave
#

I did m2 now I'm gonna do Pika I think

cunning shard
#

U just need to go to your app store and cancel it

golden lance
#

I'm saving for when the mewtwo stuff is about to expire

polar osprey
#

you can cancel it from the game itself

golden lance
#

So i can get both the current premium quests and the next one

polar osprey
#

you just click on the pass and there's a big button to cancel it

#

but Idk if I'm gonna cancel it

normal cave
polar osprey
#

I learned I have 50 bucks on my playstore account

cunning shard

I don't like it's a monthly subscription instead of a buy once a month thing

polar osprey

might as well let the pass eat them

normal cave
#

Is the pass worth?

golden lance
#

Debatable

vagrant steppe
#

It's one extra pack a day and some mewtwo cosmetics

normal cave
#

What do you get from it?

vagrant steppe
#

Probably not but ya know

cunning shard
#

It's just a extraoack per day and some goodies

polar osprey
#

one extra pack a day and the monthly premium missions

#

but it's 10 bucks a month

vagrant steppe
#

Glad it's not gamebreaking at least

polar osprey
#

for 30 packs

#

30 cents a pack

#

it's the best value when it comes to money per pack the game gives you

normal cave
golden lance
#

Wish you could get it with ingame currency but not everything can be master duel

normal cave
#

10 bucks for 30 packs is good value

polar osprey
#

when you get it they immediately give you 2 packs

#

then it's 1 pack every 24 hours

#

it can stack twice

#

if you get before the monthly missions reset you can also claim all of them

golden lance
#

Oh wait

polar osprey
#

but since they didn't reset yet they are only gonna reset in Dec probably

golden lance
#

Fuck i'm whining about money

#

I'm employed now

normal cave
polar osprey
#

congrats I'm not

normal cave
#

I was "employed" up until like may

golden lance
#

The quotes kinda imply you run an illegal business now

polar osprey
#

was probably in the army or something

normal cave
#

Being a soldier is not exactly employment

polar osprey
#

see?

normal cave
#

Something something mandatory draft. The money was decent, but it was NOT worth it.

golden lance
#

You get paid for being drafted?

normal cave
#

Ofc

#

They are taking away your time.

#

They owe you compensation

golden lance
#

Well...

#

Depends on the country Hahaa

normal cave

People have jobs and families, some have their own businesses, you have to pay them or they'll fuck off

normal cave
golden lance
#

Btw til spotify premium is insanely cheap

#

I dont use it but like

7usd a month for a family plan aint bad

normal cave

Not bad

#

The problem with these subscriptions is they add up

polar osprey
#

yeah I had to cancel a bunch

normal cave
#

Shit piles up as more and more things become subscription services

golden lance
#

Yea

polar osprey
#

I had disney+, hulu, netflix, max eveyrthing

#

shit is basically cable tv again

#

just cancelled everything and going full pirate

#

except for prime

mighty storm
polar osprey
#

it's even worse if you want to watch anime

#

watching anime legally nowadays is basically impossible

#

bcs western services are dumb as fuck and will only buy the rights for a single season

#

so you have animes that are spread out in 3+ different streaming services

mighty storm
polar osprey
#

enough is enough yk? streaming sites come down to paying for convenience, it's not convenient anymore and pirate sites have everything in 1 place at least

so I was just paying for nothing

no?

normal cave
polar osprey
#

which means 16 hours per heart

normal cave
#

80 overall, but for me specifically it's currently 51

polar osprey
#

16 hours per heart is such a scam

#

even if they cut it by half it would still feel like too much

slim birch

wonder stamina is a scam

normal cave
slim birch

its the worst mechanic

pseudo goblet
#

TCG since creation is a scam 🙂

normal cave
#

As it stands, it's 16 hours per card. Which is GIGA scam.

polar osprey
#

when the shop already works on a monthly rotation

#

so even if you got 10000 shop tickets a day you would be capped by the monthly rotation already

there's no reason for the cap to exist

If all you want is likes, collection likes are way easier

#

No reason to battle, just pull a shiny card, slap an event background on it, and farm likes in your sleep.

#

This game just incentivizes afking

#

The gameplay itself is good, but every deck except one is a pile of bricks

polar osprey
#

this is the 2nd pokemon game that incentivizes afking I played this year

#

which is not much but it's weird it happened twice

normal cave
#

Pokemon sleep?

polar osprey
#

unite

normal cave
#

Ah

pseudo goblet
#

Heh, till ZA, we gotta deal with Pocket for a long~ time

polar osprey
#

the best way to farm coins in unite is afking for 2 weeks

#

and it's not close

#

you get 3k coins per week if you do everything

#

you 14k coins if you afk for 2 weeks from the comeback event

normal cave
polar osprey
#

you can do that indefinitely

#

you get over twice the amount of coins

normal cave
polar osprey
#

compared to playing the game

normal cave
#

Do coins let you farm characters?

polar osprey
#

yes

normal cave
#

...

polar osprey
#

the optimal way of farming characters is not playing

normal cave
#

Chat do I download Unite?

polar osprey
#

if you don't have every character

#

the comeback event also gives you free license

#

for 10 different characters

pseudo goblet
polar osprey
#

so you get a fuck ton of coins

#

and a free character on top

pseudo goblet
polar osprey
#

if you don't have all of the characters in the selection

normal cave
polar osprey
#

yes

#

again

normal cave
polar osprey
#

it's so much better to afk for 2 weeks over playing it's absurd

normal cave
#

Fuck yeah

#

Just be gone 15 days

polar osprey
#

you also get a 30% bonus in coins and points you earn after every battle

normal cave
#

My kind of gameplay

polar osprey
#

for 2 weeks

#

from the returning event

#

which stacks with the double coin pass

#

so you can farm the 2k weekly coins super fast like that

#

so the optimal strat for farming is

#

afk on Monday

#

come back 2 weeks later

normal cave
polar osprey
#

use the extra coins to farm for the 2k weekly coins

#

afk again on Friday

#

come back 2 weeks later

#

get the weekly 2k gems from that week and the next one

#

14+14+2+2

#

32k gems

pseudo goblet
polar osprey
#

as opposed to the 12-15k you would get from playing normally

#

the afk strat literally gives you over twice the amount of monthly coins

#

compared to playing normally

normal cave
#

You expect me to not play Dnite?

polar osprey
#

a lot of people just rush masters in the first week or 2 then afk for the rest

#

if there aren't any unite license events going on

#

like rn with darkrai

last musk
#

Honestly not huge on darkrais event skin

#

Seems like it was the laziest thing they could do

polar osprey
#

it sucks ass

#

I didn't even get it

#

just got the license

#

I'm never gonna use that skin anyways

normal cave
#

Hmmm, dnite and goodra are both playable...

polar osprey
#

goodra is ass

pseudo goblet
polar osprey
#

dnite is really good

normal cave
polar osprey
#

like top 10 junglers

normal cave
#

Huh

#

Cool I'll learn dnite maybe

last musk
#

Darkrai is fucked rn

last musk
#

Easiest wins I've ever gotten and I used to play zacian

polar osprey
#

darkrai is fucked but you can just ban him

#

ultra is super fucked rn but ultra is always fucked regardless

#

I'm more worried about my teammates in ultra than any op mon

last musk
#

Buzzswole always manages to scare the brakes off me

polar osprey
#

I usually play zoners so I don't really care

last musk
#

That's completely fair

polar osprey
#

btw

#

darkrai has a 75% ban rate rn

#

and a 54% win rate

#

they are probably just gonna undo all the buffs they gave him once the license becomes available with coins

pseudo goblet
polar osprey
#

and he was pretty mid before the buffs

#

so not worried

polar osprey
#

garchomp is like

#

top 5 worst mons in the game rn

#

could make a case for being the single worst mon rn

normal cave
#

But I don't care about chomp as much as I care about dnite

pseudo goblet
#

Why, what made it bad

normal cave
#

Dnite is in my top 5 favorite dragons

last musk
#

Garchomp after being absolutely obliterated for the first half of the game (they can do a bit of damage now)

pseudo goblet
#

YOU MEAN THEY NERFED HIM FOR BEING POWERFUL

last musk
#

Garchomp is a late starter, he can and will get fucked early and only later will he actually get decent, not good, decent

normal cave
#

I like tatsugiri and kingdra more, but dnite is probs #3

pseudo goblet
#

on top of nerfing my main 💀

#

Hows Mamo currently then

last musk
#

Basically play tyrantiar instead and watch how people underestimate you as pupitar

polar osprey
#

ttar is a monster

#

but he is unplayable in early game

#

so he is unplayable

#

every single "raid boss" mons gets outclassed by gya

#

bcs he does what they do but gets its evo at level 5

normal cave
#

Is Miraidon any good?

polar osprey
#

yes

last musk
#

Mamo is really good

#

Huge CC

polar osprey
#

Miraidon is like

#

good good

#

fights better than anything in the game rn

pseudo goblet
polar osprey
#

and his passive hard counter darkrai

#

crowd control

normal cave
polar osprey
#

the meta is very cc focused rn

normal cave
#

Bicycle op

polar osprey
#

the best lanes rn are mamo and a9, wiggly and darkrai and m2y and chansey

#

in no particular order

pseudo goblet
polar osprey
#

m2y chansey are good bcs they are great at countering cc

mighty storm
#

ooh I have 2 of these, hmm

polar osprey
#

I expect m2y to sky rocket in bans this next week

normal cave
#

Shame 50 for 2 energy is meh, and 90 hp is bad.

mighty storm
#

also 4 Erika for grass deck

mighty storm
normal cave
#

Summer do you have venu?

normal cave
polar osprey
#

ho-oh is also insane

#

but they nerfed it this last patch

#

so you are gonna have to wave in and out of battles more often

#

but it's still fine bcs he has the best ult in the game and it's not close

mighty storm
#

dont have venusaur

normal cave
#

Does ho-oh mass rez

polar osprey
#

yes

normal cave
mighty storm
#

1 exec

mighty storm
#

Do have a playset of Lili tho

normal cave
normal cave
pseudo goblet
#

Bruial do you have the heart to play a backstabber or mischievous gremlin???

normal cave
#

But not as its own deck

normal cave
#

I used to main stun in ygo

pseudo goblet
#

Too bad idak how good is Zoroark and Sableye

polar osprey
#

zoro is great but hard to play

#

sableye is mid and hard to play

#

99% of the time when I see a sableye they do fuck all the entire game

normal cave
#

I have no remorse when it comes to making my opponents feel bad

#

So long as I get to have my fun

mighty storm
#

1 more of the event ticket and I can buy all 3

pseudo goblet
normal cave
#

I do, however, feel awful about making my team feel bad

polar osprey
#

also playing support as solo is uhhhhh

polar osprey
#

I wouldn't recommend it

#

for solo I would recommend something that can pivot into carry if needed

pseudo goblet
pseudo goblet
#

Talonflame ig

polar osprey
#

all rounders, speedsters, attackers and some defenders

#

most things that aren't support

#

supports are broken but not if you have to rely on randoms

normal cave
#

Miraidon and dnite?

pseudo goblet
polar osprey
#

dnite is mostly only played as carry

#

lane dnite was nerfed last patch

normal cave
#

Rip

pseudo goblet
#

Defender Id say Mamo(again) and Trevenant unless they nerfed dead oak

normal cave
#

So something that CAN carry, but can lane if my teammate decides to be a butthead and force a carry?

polar osprey
#

slowbro, umbreon, btoise, trevenant are all good solo defenders

normal cave
#

I do love umbreon

polar osprey
#

a lot of times your jungler will just never go back to farm

#

and leave the exp there and if you do nothing the opponents jungler will get it

pseudo goblet
#

Mamo is defender class but really its just attacker with more hp and less atk, you are moreso stuck with teammate

polar osprey
#

so you need to take over

pseudo goblet
normal cave
#

Yeah, I think this game will cause me too much stress on second thought...

polar osprey
#

it's the least stressful moba I have played

pseudo goblet
#

So like. Shithead speedster player goes brrrrr and leave, your all rounder or attacker takes over jungle

polar osprey
#

bcs it's really simple

normal cave
#

I generally avoid team games to avoid feeling the pressure of having teammates

polar osprey
#

just play something versatile

normal cave
polar osprey
#

some attackers or all rounders can also take to the front lines

#

like fire spin armarouge and mgross can act as tanks

#

bcs they have a ton of barrier

pseudo goblet
#

I forgot Metagross is in this game lmao

normal cave
#

If I wanna lone wolf, dnite is fine?

#

Err not lone wolf

polar osprey
#

only if they let you jungle

normal cave
#

Solo ladder

mighty storm
#

I never got into unite

normal cave
pseudo goblet
#

You’d notice we dont really mention Speedsters much, its just they really glass cannon

polar osprey
#

just set him as your favorite pick asap and call jungle

#

if some idiot invades jungle is bcs they are an idiot which means they will only do it in the first rotation bcs idiot never go back to jungle

#

so it won't change that much

#

only the first objective will be harder

pseudo goblet
polar osprey
#

I don't mention speedsters bcs I don't like the playstyle

#

you get in burn your cooldowns get out

#

that's not fun for me

pseudo goblet
#

Attacker are bit less frail

polar osprey
#

the roles are all over the place

#

like zacian and ceruledge are all arounders but they play like speedsters

#

same for mimikyu

pseudo goblet
#

Again, you are welcome to consider defenders while choosing which your main with good dmg KEKW

polar osprey
#

I was playing solo dnite like 2 hours ago btw

pseudo goblet
#

You really only need a defender in a team, and other people tends to main dmg classes anyway

polar osprey
#

he is super fine for solo

#

ideally you want 2 defenders in a team

#

but gl getting people off of their favorite mons until master

#

ideally you want to play 3 different mons

#

you will often need to play defender especially in the lower ranks

normal cave
polar osprey
#

if no one else is ye

cunning shard
#

Problem with liligant is usually the charge up time most of the time u only get 1 extra energy of it before its knocked out which basically makes it arkward because if u played any eggy u had the same energy distributed to venasaur

normal cave
#

I'm hella fine playing tank

polar osprey
#

in the lower ranks when I'm forced in that role I usually just play armarouge or mgross

#

bcs they can pivot into carry

cunning shard
#

It only really works if it gets to attack 2 times

polar osprey
#

while playing the defender role

pseudo goblet
#

I should mention that my moba pro friend is the one made me into playing the class lol

polar osprey
#

bcs I know if I'm on a team with 4 other buttheads that refuse to pick anything but attackers and all rounders I'm gonna have to carry

cunning shard
#

When I played unite when it came out I played only supports

polar osprey
#

yes umbreon can do anything you want it to

pseudo goblet
normal cave
#

Cooool

#

Fine I'm sold, installing unite

pseudo goblet
#

Defender also plays like, mons with hinderance and let team do what they need to do, which Umbreon does

polar osprey
#

in fact umbreon is probably the best mon at fixing any bad team comp

#

bcs it can do everything

normal cave
#

I'ma learn umbreon then

pseudo goblet
#

Mamo got Ice blocks and ground pushes, Trevenant got charge with heal in leech horn, slowbro got YEET

polar osprey
#

it has cc, heal, can tank, can do damage, can engage, can steal shields, etc.

pseudo goblet
#

Umbreon you set barriers around enemies(unless thats not the meta set)

polar osprey
#

gets evo at level 4

#

so it's also good early game

normal cave
#

So the problem with umbreon is deciding what to do?

pseudo goblet
#

You have 4 moves

#

You got to use 2 of them

#

You have to decide which one you like

normal cave
#

So, again, the problem is deciding what moves to lock yourself into?

pseudo goblet
#

Mamo I have to decide Icicle Crash OR Ice Fang, and EQ OR Highhorse Power

polar osprey
#

you just pick between mean lock wish or fool play snarl

cunning shard
#

Guardevoir used to be fun artillery

pseudo goblet
#

Did they add Vaporeon btw?

#

Unite I mean

cunning shard
#

But back then lucario and friends would just run you over with you having nit chance to defend yourself VS them

#

Also I personally hate it when jungle gets crazy kevel advantage for no reason

polar osprey
#

if you do your rotation properly and don't die you should be level 9 by the first objective as a jungler

#

jungling properly is stupid easy

#

you just need to memorize the times the important things spawn so you can be at the right place in the right time

#

and then move to the winning lane during the important objectives

#

you also don't want to die as a jungler to not give the opposing team a bunch of catch up exp

last musk
#

move to the winning lane

#

I'll be damned if I'm gonna let the weaker lane die

polar osprey
#

I'm not gonna move to the losing lane in solo and risk losing a 3-1 and give the opposing team an even bigger upper hand

#

you need to take your wins where you can

last musk
#

A win in the losing lane means infinitely more than a win in the winning lane, and losing in the losing lane doesn't matter as much as long as you escape with your life

polar osprey
#

it does matter if you die

#

a lot

last musk
#

as long as you escape with your life

polar osprey
#

and in solo you need to learn to give up on those dumb teammates that always run to their death

#

the suicidal lane is usually top also which makes things easier

#

just secure the bottom regi and then move up

#

less chances of you dying then

polar osprey
#

some people can't play defensively to save their life

pseudo goblet
polar osprey
#

zera sucks rn

last musk
#

Zera after getting CC'd (he will never recover from this)

polar osprey
#

mimi and fletch are the ones you need to worry about stealing jungle nowadays

hasty anchor
#

Zeraora just confuses me

#

...Then again, I guess most mythical mons after like, Black/White tend to be pretty forgettable

#

Volcanion who? Zarude what?

golden lance
polar osprey
#

but

#

good news to all returning players

#

they giga buffed m2y for no reason

#

and helping hand blissey

hasty anchor
#

Oh wait, Zeraora's a playable in Unite, isnt it?

polar osprey
#

so now the bissley m2y comp is terrorizing ladder again

hasty anchor
#

Blissey terrorizing things will never not be funny

#

Pink egg-thing just slapping things silly

polar osprey
#

also they nerfed m2x

#

which is even weirder

#

bcs y was the one seeing play

last musk
# hasty anchor Volcanion who? Zarude what?

I guarantee if you show a lifetime fan of Pokémon a picture of zarude there is a 50/50 chance they either say they completely forgot it existed or were unaware of its existence

pseudo goblet
#

Blissey is HELLA depending on teammate

hasty anchor
#

Yeah, it's weird since it's actually the most recent mythical

last musk
#

Like seriously

#

This is not a legendary

hasty anchor
#

And one with a movie on top of that

last musk
#

This is just a monkey

hasty anchor
#

Zeraora isn't really either

last musk
#

You absolute baffoon

hasty anchor
#

It's just a lightning weasel-thing that punches things and is very, very angry

hasty anchor
#

Wait, Pecharunt is?

#

I didn't think so, but I guess it is

golden lance
#

Yea

#

btw, reminder that zaruda dada is a different form to zarude

last musk
#

Survey says

hasty anchor
#

So how did we go from "Common ancestor to all living beings" to "Mojo Jojo"

golden lance
#

i mean

#

mythical status is only determined by rarity

hasty anchor
#

Fair enough

#

Like, if Legendary mons are stuff that are the stuff of legends with few records of their capabilities

polar osprey
#

isn't pecharunt broken lorewise tho?

hasty anchor
#

Mythical mons are near unknown

polar osprey
#

with the whole mind control thing

golden lance
#

not really

#

the mind control can be broken out of

last musk
#

Rotom after getting his ass kicked down from legendary to just an ordinary mon

hasty anchor
#

Most people in-universe would just not know what something like Meltan or Hoopa is.

last musk
#

Pecharunt and otama from one piece have the same power

#

Pecharunt just works on people

hasty anchor
#

And really it's one pet peeve I have with some fan works when they do something like "Oh dear Arceus" or whatever

#

Only like two people even know what Arceus is, stop it

normal cave
#

Who pick?

golden lance
#

nuh uh

#

it's 3 PEOPLE

hasty anchor
#

Oh, right

polar osprey
#

fletch probably

golden lance
#

fletch yea

polar osprey
#

zard got nerfed hard

last musk
#

The cinnabar island library after no one fucking reads

normal cave
polar osprey
#

ye

last musk
#

Decidueye is funny cause you step one step the right and he just absolutely crumbles

hasty anchor
#

It does get silly in some cases, like yeah, the Pokémon Mansion

#

You got so many burglars burgling, and yet out of all the valuables those research books remain untouched, leaving Mew kinda in the dark insofar as memorability in-universe

polar osprey
#

pika is like hyper busted and they refuse to nerf volt tackle

#

so you can play that if you want

#

they already dragged their feet nerfing it at all and then didn't touch what made it good

pseudo goblet
normal cave
#

Do I AFK after I complete this?

polar osprey
#

yes

hasty anchor
normal cave
#

So in 14 days

polar osprey
#

garde is pretty decent now

#

but mostly as jungler

normal cave
#

Those are temp licences

polar osprey
#

it can work as lane but it needs your team to pick a defender

hasty anchor
#

I don't play unite but I really am hopeful that Blaziken actually is really good

polar osprey
#

speaking from personal experience

#

if you see a defender once in less than 5 matches that's already too many for the lower ranks

pseudo goblet
hasty anchor
#

"Defense is the best Offense" said nobody successful.

You always gotta attack!

last musk
#

I had to stop playing hoopa

hasty anchor
#

This has been poor battle strategy, from Donny

last musk
#

People do not understand them

#

And it always leads to them disappearing mid fight

polar osprey

#

playing hoopa solo is actual hell

#

"GET IN THE FUCKING PORTAL"

#

AHHHHHH

last musk
#

Me dropping a portal for a guy with 5hp (he will walk around it and immediately die to a gank)

lowkey

the mon I fear the most in solo

in both teams

is gya

bcs two things can happen

#

my teams karp stays that way until level 8 somehow

Your gyarados always sucks, theirs reaches level 5 in 3 minutes and absolutely runs away with the game

polar osprey

my team gives them gya at level 3

polar osprey

sounds like the average pika experience

normal cave
#

I have no idea what I'm doing but pikachu does, so it works

polar osprey
#

if you get another teammate with good cc you can stun people to death from full hp

normal cave
#

Games have not been remotely close

#

Helps that both times I had at least one teammate who knew what to do

polar osprey
#

but in beginner you are either playing against bots or children

#

so it's fine

normal cave
#

I've been playing casual

#

So yeah very likely bots

polar osprey
#

oh casual is all over the place

#

nah

#

usually casual and quick is real people

#

only bots after 1 minute of queue time

#

ranked is bots to fill blanks up until veteran

normal cave
#

Queue was instant

polar osprey
#

casual you get to choose random or bots

#

if it was instant in random it was real people

normal cave
#

So yeah pika is just braindead

#

I did default

#

So random

#

Just checked, casual random

#

So pika really is that easy thmile

polar osprey
#

you can click on play with recent teammates

#

there will be friends and recent teammates

#

if they show up they weren't bots

normal cave
polar osprey
#

play quick battles btw

#

you need to play a quick a day for daily missions and there's an event currently going on for quick battles

#

the Halloween one

normal cave
#

I'm going to sleep but will tomorrow

polar osprey
#

there's also a free darkrai license if you follow the event for him

#

permanent

normal cave
#

This game is an absolute menu hell btw

polar osprey
#

yes

#

it gets better when you lose the beginner stuff

#

half of it is beginner missions

normal cave
polar osprey

at least they give you a bunch of free stuff

Also, I was looking at my list of mightiest mark Pokemon and I realized I forgot something:

  • Venu, Blastoise, Zard
  • Meganium, Gatr, Both Typhlosions
  • Blaze, Pert, Sceptile
  • Empol, Nape
  • Serp, Emboar, Both Samurott
  • Chesnaught, Ninja, Delphox
  • Prima, Incin, Both Decidueye
  • Rilla, Inteleon, Cinderace

Non-starters have been Pikachu, Eevee, Mewtwo/Mew, Iron Bundle, Dragonite, Dondozo.

So I think we might just be missing Torterra now

And Speedster is just class cannon with zoomies, yes

fading stratus

so its just fast dps

#

what about attacker

#

its just dps but slow?

#

idk how that works

pseudo goblet

Some pokemon can even hold basic attack button to speed up damage per second, Cinderace and Garchomp are scary

Probably need to find a new Secondary if they truly nerfed tf out of Garchomp sadcat
