and then you have acerola casually use a pallosand in her e4 battle
and you knock it out like it's nothing and there is no comment about that
you got pokemon who live for centuries and grow wise and shit, and you treat them the same way you treat a pidove
same game is also responsible for one of the most powerful lines in Pokemon history

Nah you know what we need
A signature move for magnezone

Or fuck it, give it to all the magnet pull mons

At this point I just might buy a second switch to double my odds <:icant:1310294...
whatever this is for, doing more runs at the same time doesn't increase your chances
it just increases how many runs you can theoretically do in a given timeframe
which might still be valuable to save time, but regardless of how much real time you're taking, the odds aren't changing
kind vortex
that's not how probability works

Tell that to this guy https://youtu.be/3ERSueCzqOc?si=-sZ8e9nescCvNHTH
Yes Im watching another persons DA while doing DA
Why you think people do 8 3DS hunts at the same time
kind vortex
because it theoretically saves time by brute forcing how many runs you can do at once
not because it actually increases your odds per run
pseudo goblet
Its same the reward
kind vortex
if i did 100 runs of dynamax adventures to shiny hunt something specific, then regardless of if those 100 runs take 10 hours or 100 hours to do, the odds aren't changing

pretty similar teams

fading stratus
eternatus was kinda being optimised
then the format just ended
it has 2 regionals top 8s and a few top 32s

the problem is eternatus needs to compete with csr and mirai
it hits hard, but it doesn't have anything as obscene as nasty plot astral barrage or specs electro drift
it needs a multiplier and preferably a spread move

GF “removing” IV but not really is funny to think about
“No, the IV points still exist, they are just set to 31 always”
If they weren’t cowards they would just remove the concepts of IVs entirely, including the bonus stats

Remove IVs to make the meta more offensive since offense only loses 31 IV in 1 stat while defense loses 2
