Why do you need more than 999 Pokeballs though
to catch more than 999 pokemon
sweet crypt
to catch more than 999 pokemon
I feel like there's less than 999 Pokemon in Swsh, and you can carry different types of balls with you anyways
You do probably need more than 1 for the legendaries though

late but for respawning legends I think platinum was what added that, no luck on shinies though in any game outside of a very niche situation in GO
sweet crypt
Bro wtf the rival has Larvesta, Corviknight and Indeedee on this Venusaur run so far
And I still solod
sweet crypt
Its...a larvesta
It's a Grass quad resist and also will become a Volcarona later
It also incinerated a berry
Which makes me very sad
sweet crypt
Click sludge bomb-
I don't actually get it by level up I think
At the very least I haven't gotten it yet
I could just have used Malignant Chain since I'm playing Pokerogue but I did not have PP lmao
Did not matter
Since Incinerate did jack shit
And I have a bunch of Pickup mons to steal items off the corpses of my enemies
Not sure how I didn't have a leppa berry considering how many leppa berries Pickup strats usually get
I am very early in the run tbf
So I guess that's how

Quick Question I wanted to ask, are the recent Shiny Miraidon and Koraidon codes only useable for each game specifically?
Like if you use the code in Scarlet you can only get a Shiny Koraidon, and if you use the code in Violet you only get a Shiny Miraidon
is that how it works when you use the codes?

I am really annoyed rn. I ran from lavender tower in (base) pkmn blue trying to get to fuchsia to heal, only pkmn is a paralyzed lvl 37 venusaur on 18 health, no heals. Didn’t make it to fuchsia, ran out of mega drain pp.
So now I gotta restart that trek from lavender town

smoky gyro
In 16:20 what did he mean by guts isnt active?
Isnt guts just an attack buff the moment you get statused?
Is there a turn delay?
sweet crypt
I'm pretty sure that it activates instantly on Showdown, which means either Showdown is wrong or Cybertron is wrong. Not sure which is the case, since Cybertron is a pro but so are many of Showdown's players who should notice that this is not working as intended
Either that or it does work like that on Showdown and I'm dumb
I can teat this actually hold up
smoky gyro
It doesnt make sense for it to not activate immediately though
sweet crypt
It doesnt make sense for it to not activate immediately though
Mega speed boosts didn't immediately activate until like, Gen 7 I think?
smoky gyro
I mean you would never really know UNLESS its side willo or opponent willoing you
sweet crypt
I guess it's possible that it worked that way in Gen 6 and earlier
smoky gyro
Cause with flame orb it always only matters on the NEXT turn
Also kinda interesting that an ability shield slaking if it gets truant, then weezing dies, it gets truant again
2 turns in a row
I definitely feel like thats a bug
sweet crypt
Guts does activate instantly after getting statused in Gen 9 Showdown
smoky gyro
Yeah
It makes sense that it would
If youre interested in pvp this vid was kinda interesting to watch
So many interesting interactions
sweet crypt
Also does in earlier gens
So yeah either Cybertron is wrong or Showdown is wrong
No clue which one it is, and since Ursaluna used Substitute on that turn we can't check
sweet crypt
Yeah this doesn't really matter unless like
smoky gyro
Its not because of burn its because of neutralizing gas
sweet crypt
You accidentally status a Guts mon with a secondary effect
smoky gyro
Duh
sweet crypt
Its not because of burn its because of neutralizing gas
Oh right Neutralising Gas
smoky gyro
Im stupid
sweet crypt
Wait why would the specification be "this turn" then
sweet crypt
Ngl my ass didn't even realise Geezer was on the field because I wasn't paying attention
sweet crypt
Is disguise not trace-able?
Disguise cannot be changed or disabled or given to anything
Only Mimikyu can have it, and I'm sure if you hacked something else to have it it wouldn't work
sweet crypt
The only thing that gets through Disguise is Mold Breaker and its clones and Moongeist Beam and its clones
sweet crypt
Only Mimikyu can have it, and I'm sure if you hacked something else to have it i...
In fact, as a 100% guarantee that something hacked to have Disguise can't use it, a Transformed Ditto or Mew can't use it either
sweet crypt
Cofagrigus
Nope
smoky gyro
Mummy thats it
sweet crypt
Neither does Lingering Aroma

You cant mummy override it?
smoky gyro
I dont know what the first 2 does
sweet crypt
Or Role Play
Or Worry Seed
Or Gastro Acid
Or Simple Beam
Or Entrainment, or Doodle
sweet crypt
You get the point
smoky gyro
Most of these I know
sweet crypt
Simple beam is a thing?
Gives the target the ability Simple
sweet crypt
Sounds way too specific for Single Battles though like you'd need a good Intimidater for it to actually work
And if your opponent switches like
Iron Valiant
Into the Simple Beam
You basically just lose
smoky gyro
I was gonna ask a stupid question and then I realized how stupid it was
sweet crypt
Like sure it won't have Quark Drive but what it would have is +4 Attack in a single turn
Well actually this is a bad comparison
smoky gyro
I was gonna ask "does it work on defiant and make intimate -2 and then defiant +4"
sweet crypt
Because Quark Drive also is immune to all these things
smoky gyro
But then I realized how dumb that is
sweet crypt
Except Neutralising Gas, I think that one actually does work
Not entirely sure why it's immune to ability swapping though
So a better example is like, Zamazenta, who is all of a sudden at +5 Defence
I'm pretty sure Dauntless Shield can be replaced, at least
I guess you could use this to remove Dnite's Multiscale
But you also just gave it a free +2
In both Attack and Speed
So like
smoky gyro
I wonder what the most broken combination is if a pokemon could have 2 abilities
Not counting the as one because thats stupid
I feel like contrary simple would be REALLY scary
Especially on actually strong damage dealers like bolt
sweet crypt
I wonder what the most broken combination is if a pokemon could have 2 abilities

Huge Power+Pure Power casually making Magikarp hit harder than Kartana:
Wtf I didnt realize kartana had 181 base attack
Isnt that higher than deoxys a
sweet crypt
Highest raw Attack stat of any Non-Mega
And including Megas I think only 2 get higher
Heracross and MMX
smoky gyro
Wtf is mmx
sweet crypt
Wtf is mmx
Mega Mewtwo X
sweet crypt
Their effective attacks stats are still lower than the likes of Mega Mawile and Koraidon though
smoky gyro
Wheres medicham in all this
sweet crypt
Koraidon with Orichalcum Pulse and Mega Mawile with Huge Power
sweet crypt
Wheres medicham in all this
Mega Medicham has 5 less Attack than Mawile's 105
smoky gyro
Oof
sweet crypt
But it's still more than enough to eclipse everything that isn't Mawile
Effortlessly, when you consider EVs and IVs also get doubled
And even without EVs and IVs it'd still be slightly higher than 200 base Attack
Stat calculation is a bit funky
sweet crypt
I dont want to include abilities that only boost a specific type of attack
But if I do, Araquanid joins the list too iirc
wild ore
Hey latios btw I won on Saturday again
sweet crypt
Hey latios btw I won on Saturday again
Neat
That team is fucking stacked actually
Like Mega Ttar probably solos Eternatus itself
wild ore
No sadly
sweet crypt
Definitely does with egg moves
wild ore
But I found a route with meta gross that let me get through first phase with no dmg
sweet crypt
But I found a route with meta gross that let me get through first phase with no ...
Neat
wild ore
I would use agility since eternatus used cosmic power or sum
sweet crypt
Tbf I guess Egg Moveless Ttar can't even heal itself lmao
wild ore
Then zen headbutt would flinch
sweet crypt
Recovery is so fucking broken
wild ore
Then for 2nd phase
I just spammed dire claw and got sleep
And crazily close combat did a whole bar of dmg
sweet crypt
I'd imagine that's with a crit
wild ore
No
sweet crypt
I see you have a Dire Hit and 2 Black Belts
wild ore
None
sweet crypt
I guess I'm underestimating the 40% Black Belt boost then
wild ore
Stab makes it a 90% boost
wild ore
Cus stab is a 50% boost right?
sweet crypt
I never get the in between
sweet crypt
Cus stab is a 50% boost right?
The boost with STAB and Black Belt probably is multiplicative and not additive
wild ore
O
sweet crypt
So not exactly 90% boost
wild ore
Mhm
wild ore
Ok
sweet crypt
But that's more preference than anything
wild ore
Wait isn’t it a 1.5 multiplier for a move of stab?
sweet crypt
Your Close Combats would have had 252 Power
sweet crypt
The 1.5 multiplier is also multiplying your 1.4 from the Black Belt
sweet crypt
I THINK I had Tera’d into fighting?
Then that's 336 Power
sweet crypt
Drain punch was like 142 power with no Tera I think
157.5 actually
sweet crypt
Like I said, the 1.4 from 2 Black Belts should stack multiplicatively and not additively with STAB
sweet crypt
I think my most absurd run was with Zacian
Where I got like
10 Fairy Feathers
And since I'm Fairy type I just overleveled anyways
Eternatus didn't know what hit it
It's either that or the Meloetta run with like 12 or so Silk Scarves
Spamming the shit out of Boomburst
wild ore
I hate how I had to give my 2 wide lens from flamigo to metagross to have a consistent good steel/psychic move
sweet crypt
They removed Boomburst since then, probably because it's broken as fuck
wild ore
I don’t know why meteor mash and zen headbutt have 90 accuracy
sweet crypt
It's either that or the Meloetta run with like 12 or so Silk Scarves
If you're curious, that's 336 BST before STAB
Not BST
Power
It ain't even BP like I was trying to type
sweet crypt
Because BP is base power and the base power is 140
If you're too lazy to do the math with STAB, that's a grand total of 504 Power
sweet crypt
It was probably slightly less than that
But it was close, that's what I remember
Wait... did I do the math wrong?
Shit I did uhh
wild ore
My problem is that I don’t have many GOOD pokemon with GOOD egg moves
sweet crypt
Wait did I?
sweet crypt
My brain is not working rn lmfao
wild ore
I started a run with chimchar uhhhh then turtwig Mudkip and my t3 shiny zigzagoat
sweet crypt
Yeah wait I did do the math wrong lmao
sweet crypt
Boomburst was actually 476 Power (714 with STAB)
sweet crypt
Silk Scarves are very common even when you aren't looking for them
So I guess it's to be expected that when I started looking for them I could reach absurd numbers with an absurdly strong move
wild ore
My zigzagoat finds a max of 3 then never finds more
sweet crypt
What surprised me is getting like 10 Fairy Feathers on that Zacian run
wild ore
I’d love to have like 20 silk scarfs and belly drum ex speed everything lol
sweet crypt
That'd be a 300 Power Magical Torque (450 with STAB)
wild ore
sweet crypt
I deliberated picked paths that took me through Normal-infested areas a ton
sweet crypt
Though this number of Silk Scarves is still certainly far above average
wild ore
I’ve never tried infernape
sweet crypt
Neither have I, I'm waiting on I think Triple Axel?
wild ore
I don’t have egg moves on chimchar sadly
I’m tryna get wins with pkm I haven’t used
For those sweet vouchers
I’ve begun to hate triple axel now
It used to hit every time with out wide lens
Now it misses every 3 uses
I hate it
That’s why I refuse to give it to sneasler
sweet crypt
Venusaur run is done, I had to use Fini for the Rival but it did solo Eternatus easily

unkempt egret
could just be really new and didn't realize that was rilla's entire point rofl
one of those poor saps with drum beating as their main STAB
smoky gyro
Its randbat
Rilla 100% has glide
It always does
Its either band glide or life orb glide with SD
narrow pine
May have called a switch
Thought He got a free turn for SD
Like I don't know the full context of the battle ofc, But why would you stay in?
Glides most likely an OHKO iirc
smoky gyro
Fair I didnt give a whole lot of context
Its a life orb nasty golduck
And Im on +2
And already heavily chipped
I was on like 40% ish I think
So there isnt much point switching cause golduck has exerted all of its value already
Being able to switch back in AND nasty AND get a hit off is very unlikely so I just decided to sac it for a free switch
sweet crypt
With the context of Golduck being at +2 and being low on HP, yeah I'd probably just Grassy Glide
smoky gyro
You have no reason not to glide there
Unless they just didnt know glide has priority and rilla is slower
sweet crypt
And yeah you have not revealed many mons
For all they know you have a Moltres
That will tank Grassy Glide and punish with Flame Body
Or worse, a Quiver Dancing Volcarona
sweet crypt
So tbh
smoky gyro
In randbats
sweet crypt
In general this is a horrid situation for them
sweet crypt
Also while what I said may justify them clicking Grassy Glide
Meant to say the opposite
Yknow when your brain forgets to add a word
Yeah that
smoky gyro
"What if they have a sap sipper mon oh god"
sweet crypt
While what I said may justify them not clicking Grassy Glide
It doesn't justify SD
Since both Volcarona and Moltres will just outspeed and KO
So if they wanted to predict, the play was to switch
sweet crypt
Ig that would also be a viable play if the opponent's Golduck wasn't very low and didn't have much value left, thus disincentivisng a switchout
There is worth to saving a low HP Pokemon tbf
Like if they're your only way to get past a certain Pokemon
And you don't want to risk your opponent having that one
(Usually this is multiple certain Pokemon)
sweet crypt
But tbh that's just overpredicting
smoky gyro
Without specs
What value does it have-
Its not even fast enough to be a revenge killer
sweet crypt
Idk I feel like depending on the opponent it could revenge kill a decent number of things
Obviously not everything, most things that boost Speed will be faster
smoky gyro
The only time I keep a mon at low health is if it's fast enough/has priority to revenge kill or has an immunity to switch into
Otherwise to the death fodder you go
smoky gyro
Gambit
sweet crypt
Can Golduck get Encore in RandBats?
smoky gyro
Yes
sweet crypt
That's a pretty good way to stop setup sweepers
smoky gyro
This set doesnt but golduck does have encore
sweet crypt
Though assuming your opponent's Golduck has Encore and that they want to preserve it is uhh
Certainly a play
sweet crypt
Golduck was mine btw
Ik
Your opponent could've been just assuming Golduck had some value left to you
But yeah that isn't a good play
sweet crypt
I've given reasons for why you'd preserve Golduck
But I ain't saying that they're good reasons for them to assume
smoky gyro
I just feel like its overpredicting to not glide
sweet crypt
I just feel like its overpredicting to not glide
It certainly is given the scenario you've given
smoky gyro
Especially when as the opponent with rilla you have no info on the rest of my team
sweet crypt
I dont see 204 speed at 40% having much value with encore
A lot of slower setup sweepers like any non Zamazenta Iron Pressers and Kingambit, as well as other status move users like Stealth Rockers and Spikers
But not Alcremie because Aroma Veil is very funny
What is Chimecho's Speed in RandBats?
I fucking hate that bastard
So encoring it is good
174, so Golduck can Encore it
Either preventing it from setting up too much or locking it into the setup move to attack it without risking any counterattacks
Or locking it into Recover but it isn't unlikely that it'd already have so many boosts by that point that you'd need a crit to win
Tbf locking it into Cosmic Power depending on the Pokemon just doesn't matter
smoky gyro
Ive honestly grown to become really fond of slow encore
I think mostly cause no one ever expects it
Fast encore from stuff like bundle and jumpluff and priority encore from stuff like whims and sableye are known
Basically everyone knows they have access to it
But no one ever expects it on slower mon like dewgong or granbull
So they just think theyre safe to set up
And then get screwed for it
Maushold also
Another fast encore-r
smoky gyro
Thats true
Switching is the worst option
If its an attack you just switch into a resist/immune
And then set up yourself lmao
sweet crypt
And if they switch then they probably switched into something that will OHKO you in the next 5 seconds
smoky gyro
Dewgong is lowkey FAT tho
sweet crypt
The mumble of times I've typod and S with a D
And vice versa
And I typod N for M there
And then autocorrect took the wheel
I hate typos and autocorrect
They always seem to work together to screw you up the most they possibly can
sweet crypt
Potentially the absolutely strongest Prankster mons in RandBats, and absolutely the most annoying
sweet crypt
Tbf I don't think it can get Encore and Cosmic Power and Recover all on one set
And if it did then uhh
It has a singular attacking move lmao
I dont have an issue with Chimecho outside of those fuckass Cosmic Power sets
smoky gyro
Which is most likely stored power
So dark type walls it
But yea no it doesnt
Encore is on a different set to cosmic power
sweet crypt
Cosmic Power Chimecho is a living war crime
smoky gyro
Theres the cosmic power set, the calm mind set, and then the twave encord utility set

Average Gen 2 game
Tbh I don't find Singles a stallfest
At least definitely not Gen 9
Gen 9 is like fucking hyperoffence central on low-mid ladder
Stall has historically been a difficult archetype to use
And this is especially the case in Gen 9 where there's many Pokemon that can rip stall teams apart in seconds if the stall team makes 1 misplay that the Pokemon capitalises off
modern oar
I just personally don't like single battles.
sweet crypt
Nobody on low-mid ladder knows how to play stall
If I see a Stall team, I celebrate because I just found free elo
sweet crypt
I just personally don't like single battles.
Fair enough but I saw some people say its a stallfest up there
And in the context of newer gens I can't disagree more
Especially Gen 9
It is generation dependant though, I think Gen 8 is pretty slow iirc?
Gen 2 is definitely slow
modern oar
Definitely depends on the tools you have at your disposal and the tools people have to counter it.

im more wondering how you manage to get swept by a fuckin phione
The opponent didn't really have much of a way to prevent the Phione sweep
smoky gyro
Heavy misplay
sweet crypt
Keep in mind, this is RandBats and Phione thus has a heavy level lead
smoky gyro
Cause fpr some reason
sweet crypt
They definitely did have some outs though
smoky gyro
They gave up setting up with oricorio
sweet crypt
I think trying for the setup war with Oricorio was the play
smoky gyro
And let me get +2 over them
Yep
I mean I had a bisharp at the back with sucker so it was never the end of the world
But he shouldve went to +6 alongside me
sweet crypt
Definitely
smoky gyro
Especially cause this phione set isnt the rest one so lefties is my only recovery
And tbh even if it was I think ori still wins
Cause I have to deal with sleep talk rng
sweet crypt
Oricorio certainly wins vs Restless I think
And depending on Oricorio's Tera it may have even been able to win the game vs your Bisharp
sweet crypt
Ah ok
smoky gyro
Ghost oricorio only runs ghost tera
sweet crypt
Ghost oricorio only runs ghost tera
I see
smoky gyro
In randbats*
sweet crypt
In that case I'd assume Bisharp just OHKOs with Sucker Punch
smoky gyro
Ghost runs ghost
Electric and fire both run ground
I forgot what psychic runs
sweet crypt
Also is Bisharp new to Gen 9 RandBats or am I dumb
smoky gyro
In that case I'd assume Bisharp just OHKOs with Sucker Punch
It just depends on sucker mind games at that point
I think so
With eviolite
Why would you...click sleep powder against a grass type-
Istg I hate it when you get punished predicting
sweet crypt
Why would you...click sleep powder against a grass type-
They were predicting a switch
They had a Bug/Poison type in on a Grass type and didn't expect you to stay in as a result
It's not that hard to understand
smoky gyro
I had no out there really
Tinted lens is too strong
My only out was a sleep powder miss
sweet crypt
Fair enough
I guess you could've hoped to wake up after the Sleep Powder in time to get a Dragon Tail but I don't think all Dipplins get that
smoky gyro
This set didnt have it
Its sucker dragon pulse gig drain recover
And my dipplin was at 40% ish anyways I dont think I lived a sludge wav
Even with eviolite
sweet crypt
Ngl it'd have been a power move to not click Tera Steel
And then as they attack you then click it
Idk if Eviolite Tera Steel Dipplin tanks Tinted Lens Venomoth Bug Buzz
OK it does
Double Dragon Pulse isn't a KO though so after that they just click Sleep Powder safely
It was doomed from the start
smoky gyro
The problem in that situation is if I switch and they click the ballsy quiver
Im still fucked
sweet crypt
Yeah idk you're just cooked in this scenario Venomoth had you beat
smoky gyro
Tfw when bugs
sweet crypt
Venomoth is like the 3rd scariest Quiver Dancer in normal play so I'd imagine it's also scary in RandBats
Quiver Dancers are just scary
smoky gyro
Frosmoth is also really scary imo
sweet crypt
Because on one side you have actually good mons like Volcarona and Oricorio
smoky gyro
Especially under snow
sweet crypt
And on the other you have the fear of how you can live with yourself after losing to a Butterfree
Or a Masquerain
sweet crypt
Frosmoth is also really scary imo
Frosmoth is scary if you don't have a strong physical attacker or something it's weak to
Or if it Teras
smoky gyro
Thats why snow
sweet crypt
Tbf that's most Quiver Dancers
smoky gyro
+50% phys def baby
sweet crypt
Frosmoth just has more, bigger weaknesses than the rest
With that said it's probably like
4th?
5th?
Most scary Quiver Dancer in normal play
Idk how to measure Ribombee because it is higher tiered but it's always a webber and not a dancer

Base swampert mainly
Mega is kinda cool
Sceptile also
Base sceptile is ehh mega is dope
wild ore
I like mega swampert
He gets massive arms to clock everything in the face
If it looks weird to you it might be the arms
They’re kinda skinny ngl
wild ore
O
smoky gyro
Mudkip is really cute
wild ore
Yes
wild ore
I heard you like mudkipz
smoky gyro
To me
wild ore
I like mudkip and swampert
smoky gyro
The problem I have with base sceptile is the proportions
wild ore
It might be me but most of the middle starter evo look ugly
smoky gyro
The tale is like 40% of its bodh for some reason

Im not trying to disprove you Im just listing the middle evos I do like

Middle forms in gen 9 is just what middle forms are meant to look like

The awkward teenage phase
wild ore
They look like the last and first stage
smoky gyro
Anyways popplio best starter line design wise you cant change my mind
I love popplios line
So pretty

I don’t like the middle evo but the rest is fine

The middle evo is cute

the white and red shinies are always the best looking
trevenant another good example
also something that has always bugged me is "why isn't mega absol a fairy type"

Forget mega Absol, why isn’t regular Absol fairy type

Or better yet, why isn’t it psychic type. It can sense future disasters and psychic type actually existed when Absol was introduced

I don't really like the idea of Absol being part Psychic, considering that typing leaves it with zero resistances (barring a Psychic immunity), plus physical Psychic-type moves are rare to come by and generally weak; the only non-signature ones with decent BP are Zen Headbutt (which has below-average accuracy) and Psychic Fangs (which has shallow distribution).

70 BP's kinda ehh...
Feels like it'd have the same problem that Flareon did before it gained Flare Blitz...
sweet crypt
Psycho Cut: am I a joke to you?
Yes
Yes it is
And not a funny one, a sad one
I'd rely on Stone Miss, or Play Shart, or Supershit Slam all before Psycho Cut
It's so bad it doesn't even get a comedic name laughing at how bad it is
Because that'd imply that it's comedic, or trying to be, when I've already established that it's sad
unkempt egret
if anything's below 80 (90?) base power it'd better have a good secondary effect to justify that
mild dirge
there are two physical fairy moves that can actually be learnt and one is learnable only by two pokemon
unkempt egret
also "having less than 100% accuracy" is another thing you gotta really justify yourself with
mild dirge
physical fairy type pokemon have one option for stab and its 90% accuracy

"Fairy Is Not A Physical Type" ~Gamefreak, probably

which sucks cause there is quite a few physical attacking fairy types

Lol
mild dirge
"Fairy special options"
- Fairy Wind and Misty Explosion
Lol
they are technically options
I at no point said they were good ones
sweet crypt
Fair enough, if you were only including good ones Physical Fairy would have nothing
sweet crypt
I dont mind it being 90% accurate by itself but combined with the average power it's a disaster
I've said this many times, but for a move to justify itself having less than 100% accuracy, it needs power
Fire Blast, Hydro Pump, Gunk Shot
These moves have far greater power than their 100% accurate counterparts
And overall far above average power
Play Rough I guess technically has far greater power than its counterpart
But that's more so because its counterpart is uhh
Literally nothing
And it's average power at best
sweet crypt
Hello I'm just shittalking Play Shart like I always do
It's crazy how every single physical Fairy move is dogshit excluding fucking Twinkle Tackle, Max and Gmax moves and fucking
Magical Torque
Which is a signature move of an unobtainable form of a Gen 9 Pokemon
wild ore
Oh yea
sweet crypt
That is so unobtainable that it has no base stats
wild ore
There’s like
sweet crypt
It just has hardcoded stats
wild ore
Oh
sweet crypt
Spirit Break is not changed because man looking at this move really breaks your spirit to use physical Iron Valiant
wild ore
But yea play shart does not need 90 accuracy
mild dirge
spirit break is decent on a supportive pokemon like grimmsnarl
but for a sweeper not so much
sweet crypt
spirit break is decent on a supportive pokemon like grimmsnarl
Yeah but like then it's good in the same way as Icy Wind
AKA: Not as damaging STAB
Which is why it's so fucking stupid

How many of those did it land

How many of those did it land

"don't use this" is basically the (im)polite way of saying either "this is too strong for the tier below this and too weak for the tier it's currently in but people keep using it anyway" or "this pokemon is not relevant in any metagame that isn't specifically tailored for it" for ones in PU and below

I like how I look at fomantis's final egg move being fire and I'm like "oh gee I wonder what V-create that could be, move?"
lavish dune
my fearow has sniper as its ability, i found a scope lens, wide lens, multi lens, moxie as its passive, an adamant nature, and triple arrows which has a hightened crit rate
idk if a stronger bird exists
and i have all its egg moves
it could only be better if i had it as shiny

literally this
4x setup and it vanishes because of counter
one time I clicked counter 4 times in a row while they were setting up urshifu single strike with swords dance

If an Unseen Fist mon use a contact move
Into Spikey Shield
Does the Unseen Fist mon still take recoil from the Spikey Shield?
I guess this appljes to Feint as well
If an attack breaks spikey shield and makes contact does it still get chipped by the spikey shield?

This is conclusive evidence that Registeel is better than Reshiram and that Reshiram should thus be dropped to RU, if not NU

And outspeed after the Mud Shot
Instead of paralysing it first
Empoleon's not that fast

Im pretty sure medi is just faster at base
I think it does have higher base speed but idk the level balancing in RandBats well
smoky gyro
And Im pretty sure it was band because it did 60 FUCKING PERCENT on a clefable with cc
sweet crypt
I hope for their sake that they didn't actively click Twave while having CC on Granbull
But we shall never know that Granbull's full set
smoky gyro
No I meant the medi with cc
Granbull doesnt run cc in randbats
Idk if it even learns it
sweet crypt
Idk if it even learns it
It does
It does get EQ in RandBats right?
That I am more confident on
Anyways doing the Crabrawler run in Pokerogue rn
And uhh
Water Bubble is kinda broken
I just OHKOd a Bulbasaur with a water move
smoky gyro
It does
sweet crypt
Tbf that water move was surging strikes
But that's still only like 107.5 non STAB Power
On a Crabrawler
Ok so obviously I will be getting Ice Hammer for STAB
But what do I replace?
I want Shore Up to heal, I want at least 1 of Mach and Jet Punch and I want Surging Strikes
But I will also want a stronger Fighting move later
And that's like 5 moves
sweet crypt
Crabrawler's starting to become unusable, still no Ice Stone
But it did solo 55 Rival
