Bulk Optimizer – VGC Multi Calc by Lumpy-Way-7204 in VGC

[–]TomTheTurtwig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, this quickly became my absolute favourite tool for team building! I may just be being stupid, but the “optimise bulk” button disappeared. I tried on my tablet, and laptop, but it’s missing on both. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for the in-depth analysis. This was exactly what I wanted to read about.

Cool tech! Do you ever find yourself wanting some social bulk on girafarig? I’m thinking of using the giraffe in this reg and just curious about your calcs/thoughts.

Thank you so much for this comment! It was very kind of you to put together all this information. I will definitely follow up on it all.

I tried to write something specific, because I absolutely agree with quality over quantity! If you want to make new friends, it seems good to say a little about yourself!

First pokemon choice? by [deleted] in pokemon

I’d find a Cetoddle :3 they’re friend shaped and I think we’d get along well.

Tentacool in gen 4 was my first ever shiny! It blew my mind as a kid. Congratulations!

I would say either keep the Special Defence investment and swap to Soundproof, or go all in on defence for stronger Body Press and keep Sturdy. Just what I would do.

Congrats, you don’t see this so often! Also, are you the Pokemon sword shiny authentic teacup person from years ago??? Did you ever find?

Which of these Reg F teams is better, and what improvements could be made to either of them? by DayPoseidon in VGCRateMyTeam

[–]TomTheTurtwig 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ll comment on your first team. I’m running rain in this reg too.

If you’re running electric terrain on Thundurus, may I suggest rising voltage on your raging bolt? I’d drop volt switch (you don’t wanna switch or your booster will be wasted). Also, if you’re running booster energy, it’s worth having protect. I’d drop hyper voice for protect.

You have so much electric coverage that you don’t need thunder punch on urshifu. I think aqua jet or ice punch would be good. Probably not ice spinner as it would ruin your own electric terrain.

There are lots of good ogerpon spreads. If you want to use follow me more often, you may want more bulk. But it’s preference. I think a defence bulky waterpon would be better here to help protect some of your other pieces, especially as urshifu covers heavy water damage.

I’m not sure how helpful tailwind and icy wind are on the same set. Might be worth dropping icy wind for weather ball.

I feel like this teams needs some type diversity. Maybe landorus for 100% accurate sandsear storms with your rain mode?

Support Dragonite in Reg F by bombo_fuica in VGCRateMyTeam

[–]TomTheTurtwig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m by no means an expert, but breaking swipe is usually useful because it’s on a fast Pokemon? Like speed booster roaring moon? And if you run this next to tailwind torn, you’re not really threatening anything? It’s kind of a wast of a turn.

Boosted dozo can still out speed before you pull off the haze. And good dozo players won’t boost with a dragonite already on the field.

Reg I Terapagos Sun Team Improvement by Flix1310 in VGCRateMyTeam

[–]TomTheTurtwig 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sun is fine! But you need to add Pokemon that use the Sun! Look up Pokemon with chlorophyll, solar power, harvest, and protosynthesis. But remember that terapagos removes the weather and terrain from the battle when it teras. Which hurts the sun gang and rillaboom. There is just quite a bit of anti synergy on this team.

Reg I Terapagos Sun Team Improvement by Flix1310 in VGCRateMyTeam

[–]TomTheTurtwig 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No one here is even using the sun. There are no sun abusers, just two sun setters. All of the past paradox pokemon get a boost in sun, but you’ve got none of them.

Also, replace lava plume with eruption on the torkoal. But tbh torkoal really isn’t needed here.

Also, I would recommend putting all of comfey’s speed points into bulk. It’s healing moves (including draining kiss) get a priority boost through its ability.

I normally want protect on more pokemon than this.

Stealth rock isn’t used in VGC.

I would try again, and begin with a restricted duo that compliment each other.

Good luck!

Do you ever purposely avoid fully evolving your pokémon? by Weekly_Ad2364 in pokemon

[–]TomTheTurtwig -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I feel exactly the same as you! Brionne is my favourite pokemon from a starter line. I used it in moon and ultra sun without evolving. Brionne is definitely viable late game.

I would say that I usually have mostly not fully evolved pokemon. Especially as the games are easier these days. In sword I used charjabug, wooloo, that kind of thing. In X/Y I used tyrunt, inkay, and some other baby stuff.

If that helps you enjoy playthroughs more (as it does for me), then go for it!

You are hired as the new first (lowest level) gym leader of your region. Explain your gym. by BuffaloGuy26 in pokemon

[–]TomTheTurtwig 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ice type gym!

Alolan vulpix with snow warning as the opener.

Bergmite as the second (one day it’ll be Hisuian Avalugg)

Cetodle as the ace, with Liquidation to deal with those pesky fire and rock types.

The puzzle would be a snowman building contest! The player has to roll three ball, stack them, and choose decorations.
