No it needs to be level 38 in a multiplayer server to evolve

#

So many big words

sweet crypt Jul 21, 2025, 4:34 AM

#

Why do people still say Eviolite Chansey is better than Blissey

#

I mean maybe it's true in VGC I wouldn't know there

#

But I'm pretty sure both are shit in VGC anyways

#

And Blissey is just better in Singles and has been ever since HDB was added

#

Eviolite in general is kinda overrated

#

There's 1 case in Singles where it might make a prevo better than its evolution

#

But since it's a case like Chansey vs Blissey in VGC you can't tell whatsoever

devout crag Jul 21, 2025, 6:48 AM

#

sleek jewel No it needs to be level 38 in a multiplayer server to evolve

On ryujinx i think u can go on a multiplayer server

devout crag Jul 21, 2025, 6:49 AM

sweet crypt I mean maybe it's true in VGC I wouldn't know there

Why use him at all in competitive

sweet crypt Jul 21, 2025, 6:49 AM

#

devout crag Why use him at all in competitive

Basically, because Blissey is a fat fuck

devout crag Jul 21, 2025, 6:50 AM

#

Yes its a tank

#

What else

sweet crypt Jul 21, 2025, 6:50 AM

#

And so is Chansey, but Blissey's just Chansey but it doesn't instantly lose the will to live upon being hit by a singular Knock Off

sweet crypt Jul 21, 2025, 6:50 AM

#

devout crag Yes its a tank

In older gens, it was able to threaten Pokemon extremely heavily with Toxic

#

But ever since it lost that, it kinda has been reduced to nothing but a wall

devout crag Jul 21, 2025, 6:51 AM

#

Well we aint in 2012

sweet crypt Jul 21, 2025, 6:51 AM

#

But it's extremely fat so it's still useful, just that it's useful on less teams than in the past

#

In the past Blissey could go on like balance teams and shit

devout crag Jul 21, 2025, 6:51 AM

#

If u say it like that pachirisu was able to win a world tournament

sweet crypt Jul 21, 2025, 6:51 AM

#

But nowadays, it is only viable on Stall

sweet crypt Jul 21, 2025, 6:51 AM

#

devout crag If u say it like that pachirisu was able to win a world tournament

Blissey is a lot better in Singles than Pachirisu is in Doubles

#

It's still a viable pick, even if it isn't great anymore

devout crag Jul 21, 2025, 6:51 AM

#

Yeah fair

#

Theres just so many better pokemons

sweet crypt Jul 21, 2025, 6:52 AM

#

Pachirisu was never close to being a straight up good Pokemon

#

It's just that it had a niche nothing else could fill

#

And in just that one scenario, it could put in work

devout crag Jul 21, 2025, 6:52 AM

#

He did win a tournament during the old meta

sweet crypt Jul 21, 2025, 6:52 AM

#

This happens in Singles too

devout crag Jul 21, 2025, 6:53 AM

#

Also wolfeyvgc won a tournament with a fletching

sweet crypt Jul 21, 2025, 6:53 AM

#

Where you can find generally shitty Pokemon at top ladder actually working because the player put in a lot of research on how to make it work

#

But that doesn't make it good

#

Gen 9 is probably the Blissey line's lowest point in Conpetitive ever

devout crag Jul 21, 2025, 6:54 AM

#

In the end blissey and chansey are gonna be exp farms

sweet crypt Jul 21, 2025, 6:54 AM

#

It is for quite a few Pokemon that previously had an amazing record

#

Heatran has fallen

#

sweet crypt Jul 21, 2025, 6:55 AM

#

devout crag # zacian

Zacian went from top 1 to top 5

#

At least in Singles

devout crag Jul 21, 2025, 6:56 AM

#

sweet crypt Zacian went from top 1 to top 5

hes not near to being viable in gen 9 after the nerfs

#

iin doubles

sweet crypt Jul 21, 2025, 6:56 AM

#

devout crag iin doubles

I know, but I ain't talking about Doubles

devout crag Jul 21, 2025, 6:56 AM

#

his brother zamazenta stole the spot

sweet crypt Jul 21, 2025, 6:56 AM

#

Because I know my knowledge in Doubles isn't good

#

Zamazenta is still bad in Singles sadly

devout crag Jul 21, 2025, 6:56 AM

#

ion rllly watch single tournaments

sweet crypt Jul 21, 2025, 6:56 AM

#

Body Press did not, in fact, outweigh the nerfs

devout crag Jul 21, 2025, 6:56 AM

#

doubles are more exicting

sweet crypt Jul 21, 2025, 6:57 AM

#

It's a top tier Pokemon in OU

#

Which sounds good until you realise that it's a box art legendary

devout crag Jul 21, 2025, 6:57 AM

#

sweet crypt Body Press did not, in fact, outweigh the nerfs

with his ability in doubles it made a great difference

sweet crypt Jul 21, 2025, 6:57 AM

#

There's 1 other box art in OU and it's base Kyurem

#

It's slightly better than Kyurem though

devout crag Jul 21, 2025, 6:58 AM

#

wait how does team building work in singles

sweet crypt Jul 21, 2025, 6:58 AM

#

Speaking of Kyurem can we talk about how this mf has 3 fucking signature moves

#

AND ALL OF THEM ARE GARBAGE

#

We have Icy Wind with 10 more BP

#

As a move that isn't used for damage

devout crag Jul 21, 2025, 6:58 AM

#

like in doubles u just take the op legg and build a team around him

sweet crypt Jul 21, 2025, 6:58 AM

#

But entirely for support

#

And we have 2 2 turn moves

#

AKA automatic garbage

devout crag Jul 21, 2025, 6:58 AM

#

fair

#

just use kyogre or sum idk

sweet crypt Jul 21, 2025, 6:59 AM

#

Generally for Singles you build the team as a team instead of building around 1 member

devout crag Jul 21, 2025, 6:59 AM

#

like in a normal run

sweet crypt Jul 21, 2025, 6:59 AM

#

Though you can find people building around 1 member for content

devout crag Jul 21, 2025, 6:59 AM

#

fair

sweet crypt Jul 21, 2025, 6:59 AM

#

Because everyone likes seeing people bring Jolteon to OU

#

And then instantly sacrificing it

#

So that they can get Iron Valiant in safely

#

Heck, Gen 9 Pokemon have suffered greatly from powercreep

#

... In Gen 9

#

Wo-Chien went from like UU/RU all the way down to PU

#

As did Flamigo

#

Iron Hands is still UUBL though lmao

#

If OU's best Pokemon didn't include the likes of Great Tusk, Gliscor and Landorus Therian and if Electric types had actually good physical STAB Iron Hands maybe it'd be OU proper

#

Supercell Slam baffles me

#

So like

#

You click a move that does above average but not quite great damage

#

But if you miss at a 10% rate you die instantly

#

Because realistically you're either gonna be too slow to ever get another move

#

Or instantly die from the follow up attack

#

You hit a neutral target for it and they're likely not gonna drop

#

Unlike something like HJK

#

And you have the same risk of fucking dying as soon as you get predicted and the Ground type comes in

#

Like

#

Why didn't they just make it a HJK clone instead of a Jump Kick clone

#

This question has been asked 500000 times and it'll be asked 500000 times more

If I could be allowed to butt in.

What’s clearly missing is a water type and another special attacker so Magnezone isn’t the only one.

Immediately what comes to mind is Vaporeon, Walrein and Starmie. All great special attacker that can patch up your weakness. Vaporeon is the most bulky and highest SPA. Starmie is the fastest and Walrien has STAB on Ice moves which could be a big help towards any other dragons.

Jellescent and Pelipper also exist but I don’t think work as well.

I..don't remember what other special waters are in the game pre-Drayden

seems like wo-chien is a calm nature

#

which combined with a certain move in its movelist means it might actually be better to just bite the tablet of ruin nerf and go physical?

#

it is only tier 5 though which means a whopping 25 levels below the usual

#

I'm not 100% sure why there's a tera dark frosmoth ~~named "bogar"~~ in my box but that'd probably be an okay option for a support considering ice sca-

#

this has shield dust.

#

...oh I think that was a mon in the nuzlocke where I could only use mons from raid dens

#

anyway Fezandipiti seems like the most straightforward "good idea" in my box with SD/light screen/poison jab/...some other support not sure

Shield Dust is one of those abilities that's just begging to be on a useful Pokemon.

unkempt egret Jul 23, 2025, 3:47 AM

other things I might test include an acid spray + tera fire goodra, a bulk up blaziken that blanks the entire moveset, and a swadloon as a pure support

#

actually bug/grass/dark isn't too hard to just hard wall

#

yea, or not competing with an even better ability like Ice Scales or Compoundeyes

#

I think the only mon that uses it somewhat seriously is Sticky Web The Pokemon (aka ribombee)

#

I do also have howl ninetales but that's just asking to OHKO myself via flare blitz which is uh a pretty big no-no in raids

#

Because it is gonna be one shotting you anyways

#

Hmm... I don't have Tera Fire on Chi-Yu yet

#

I have more than enough shards for it

#

But if I don't need to use those then I won't

#

I'll try my hand with Ogerpon

#

No Foul Play and I'm not weak to Pollen Puff (and will resist it upon Tera)

#

I can just swap masks out for the others too with it

#

I'll probably still use Kyogre for those actually

#

As in, Ting-Lu and Chi-Yu

#

That said, Tera Grass with Ivy Cudgel and Horn Leech probably screws Ting-Lu pretty hard

#

But Ogerpon will be getting hit too hard by Chi-Yu to have enough time to win after Tera

#

No Foul Play on Wo-Chien so that's excellent, I can try to go for SD

#

Doing the calcs, Physical moves should be hitting it harder by an extremely small amount

#

Yeah no Ogerpon shits on Wo-Chien, I'm still above 2/3rds HP and well on my way to winning

warm rose just had a run where wo chien didn't use ruination on me👍👍👍 i won because of...

I just kinda used Ogerpon Hearthflame and cooked Wo-Chien into Escargot first try

#

It was a good enough run to the point that it could've hit me with Ruination at the start and it wouldn't have mattered, I didn't go below 50%

#

Wo-Chien living up to the reputation of easily the weakest Treasure of Ruin no matter the context

#

Weakest in VGC, weakest in Singles and soon to be weakest in Tera Raids I'd imagine

#

Probably weakest in playthroughs too

#

It is just ridiculously less bulky than Ting-Lu while doing less damage than it

#

Ting-Lu's bulk is stupid

#

155/125 is absurdly high and special matches it with EVs due to the ability

warm rose Jul 23, 2025, 6:44 AM

#

Yay

sweet crypt Jul 23, 2025, 7:08 AM

#

Alright, here's some general tips for the Treasure of Ruin raids:
Wo-Chien's effective Physical and Special bulk are extremely similar. It does not matter which side you use, just focus on bringing a Pokemon with a good matchup. You're going to want to Terastalise into one of the types that resist 1 STAB while being Super Effective against Wo-Chien. Wo-Chien here uses primarily Special Attacks. Based on this, some of the best Pokemon (keeping mainly raids with only AI trainers in mind) would likely be Chi-Yu (Tera Fire), Slither Wing (Tera Bug) or Iron Moth (Either same type Tera) or Volcarona (Either same type Tera). All 4 Pokemon deal high damage with relatively high Special bulk

#

It's funny to me that all of the Volcarona are good for this

#

If I had to guess, Volcarona would be the best out of the bunch due to its self healing and Quiver Dance boosting SpA and SpD

#

But you will have to be aware for Snarl lowering SpA

#

That said I don't think the AI really chooses one move in particular to spam

warm rose Jul 23, 2025, 7:10 AM

#

warm rose Yay

sweet crypt Jul 23, 2025, 7:10 AM

#

It didn't for me

#

You also will need to look out for the stat resets

#

Don't get too greedy with setting up

#

Chien-Pao is a fast, hard hitting, frail Physical attacker

#

If you have the correct Pokemon, you might be able to end the battle in 1 turn

#

Well, 1 attack

#

Assuming you're able to weather its hits and set up to +6

#

As it isn't released yet, I'm uncertain what moves it'll have

#

Kingambit should be great if it doesn't have Sacred Sword, but I believe that is a move Chien-Pao can have

#

Kingambit's high physical bulk and resistances to both Ice and Dark, along with its extremely good damage even without Supreme Overlord, should smash right through Chien-Pao

#

Kingambit can be a bit tough to get though, but in general you'll be wanting physically bulky Pokemon that resist one or both STABs while hitting Ice for SE with STAB. Types include Fire (Resists Ice), Fighting (Resists Dark) and Steel (Resists Ice). Due to the possibility of Sacred Sword, the best Pokemon for this for now is probably either of the Paldean Tauros. Both have SE STAB and resist the STABs while being neutral to Fighting while being physically bulky with Intimidate. Blaze Tauros is better due to being able to be boosted even further in case you're playing with friends and can get someone to use Sunny Day while having the better STAB in this scenario due to Close Combat cutting into bulk, something that cannot be said about Raging Bull

#

Actually wait

#

Azumarill's probably better for this

#

Since it resists Sacred Sword as well while having Huge Power

#

I do think it'd have less bulk

#

And you definitely can't do any Belly Drum shenanigans even if you resist Chien-Pao

#

It also won't have SE moves

silk citrus Jul 23, 2025, 7:19 AM

#

For wo chein I just spammed bitter blade

sweet crypt Jul 23, 2025, 7:19 AM

#

But like, resisting all the possible moves is nice

#

Ting-Lu is extremely, extremely bulky

#

You're going to want very hard hitters for it

#

It has mammoth amounts of both Physical and Special bulk

#

And isn't a slouch when it comes to damage either

#

You're going to want absolutely nuclear options to kill it before timer kills you

#

Only settle for the hardest hitting Water, Grass or Ice types

#

But do not risk getting KOd

#

Something like using Belly Drum on Azumarill is scary since Ting-Lu does decent damage and can reset it anyways

#

You aren't gonna be getting enough damage off for it to be worth

#

Ting-Lu scares me the most out of these

#

Since it just has so much bulk

#

Absolutely do not hesitate to bring out legendaries against it if possible

#

And try not to compromise on bulk for your picks

#

Pokemon like Urshifu-Rapid Strike, Intimidate Gyarados, Arceus Grass, Water or Ice (preferably Grass), Palkia, Kyogre, Brute Bonnet, Rillaboom, Zarude, Kyurem, Baxcalibur, Glastrier, Mamoswine, Beartic and even Calyrex Ice and Glaceon to an extent can leverage their great physical bulk to take chunks off of Ting-Lu while staying healthy

#

But Glaceon has to look out for its low HP

#

And Calyrex for its Dark weakness

#

What's also notable is that out of these, only Arceus and Brute Bonnet can heal off damage they take

#

Grassy Surge can be helpful for staying healthy

#

And boosting Grass damage

#

But I'm not too sure how I feel about giving Ting-Lu chip healing

#

Chi-Yu is an extreme nuke that will rip chunks off your Pokemon if they don't resist both STABs with efficiency

#

Make sure to bring specially bulky Pokemon to take as many hits as possible

#

And try to target Chi-Yu's physical side, as it is far frailer there

#

A lot of the Water types I listed work here too

#

Urshifu may sound like the perfect counter, but it is specially frail and I suspect will get chipped despite the resist in both STABs

#

It will be chunking Chi-Yu, however

#

The best Pokemon for this is probably going to be Tyranitar, I'd imagine

#

Resists Fire and Dark

#

Immune to a possible Psychic

#

Sandstorm boosts its SpD a lot

#

Targets Physical Defence

i didnt buy most games at all

since I never beat PLA main story, and I never played SV

bdsp is bd but with different graphics

i got over 15 hours on that "remake"

they should have done it with the modern graphics instead of the chibi

devout crag Jul 23, 2025, 2:55 PM

yeah

#

bdsp is just how to NOT do a remake

mighty robin Jul 23, 2025, 2:55 PM

#

in the sense that I think gold/silver had black and white graphics

devout crag Jul 23, 2025, 2:55 PM

#

if thats how u can call it

mighty robin Jul 23, 2025, 2:56 PM

#

but then HG/SS had color and whatnot with their graphics

which was improving, not just original graphics but better

devout crag Jul 23, 2025, 2:56 PM

#

yaeh

mighty robin Jul 23, 2025, 2:56 PM

#

BDSP should have had graphics of modern games, instead of improved chibi

devout crag Jul 23, 2025, 2:57 PM

if it wasnt for the poor choice of pokemons and the lack of exp it would be 11/10

basically a phase is when you get a shiny that isn't the one you were aiming for (in this case, Roaring Moon)

shell oak Jul 24, 2025, 1:30 AM

I’m not outraged or anything about the design, I just think it underdelivered on its premise and doesn’t make a good first impression for what to expect from future mega additions

The new megas also barely interest me because I want new shinies to hunt

I already have the shiny dratini line, and I cant hold a mega dragonite in home pr anything anyways. Nothing for me to collect there.
