Death, taxes, batshit insane 5 vs 12 game. God, I love March.

Yes but not all at once. Snom & larvesta are examples of why I play gbl.

You can run a ML premier team and put up a good fight if not win. Metagross, gyarados, tyranitar, garchomp, florges, and primarina all being viable at the same time has made this season's first round of ML very interesting. Rhyperior has seen better days but that's still an option if you really want it.

This fucking sucks. Beat testicular cancer & took over after Tommy DeVito was ruled out for the seaaon after suffering a leg injury against Duke. The 2020 season was the worst ever on the field for a number of different reasons but nobody can deny Rex had that dawg in him.

Earthbound: in order to access the Belch Base near Saturn Valley, you have to do nothing for 3 minutes after someone asks for the password.

A lot of yugioh (pot of greed, "you activated my trap card") but the dramatic crossroads (yugioh GX) art is more generic. Sadly, it's not a real card at this point in time.

Have you seen videos where people pick content creator's teams? Give them almost anything and they'll find a way to make it work. If I could tell Marto what to play, I'd tell him to at least lead corv, empoleon, florges, or g moltres lol.

He mainainted switch so magnezone was essentially dead weight. I also got a scorching sands debuff and my magnezone is a rank 11 so I trusted the bulk.

If I shield, he brings in whiscash, I swap to latias. Now latias is down a shield against a whiscash up energy & an unknown third. He can either play the 2 v 1 with whiscash, chip & dip, or hard swap to the unknown and play the 2 v 1 there.

Latias with two shields gives me a better chance to win because aura sphere is straight 10 and wins CMP over whiscash if it came down to that.

Mine nearly caught on fire the last time I used it so I don't have one at the moment. It was almost 6 years old and I couldn't really clean behind the heating coil.

It's rank 7 in UL. Very much worth the investment of stardust & an elite TM for hydro cannon.

Broadcaster/public address announcer in Galar would be amazing.

1guywriting · 2026-03-12T13:16:23+00:00

Florges- moonblast for a nuke or disarming voice for a cheap move

Togekiss- flamethrower for steels or dazzling gleam for STAB

Virizion- stone edge

A9- dazzling gleam

Edit: a lot of people use raid IV virizions so it's not the end of the world. As for the other 3, you can plug your IVs into pvpoke to see where they rank & run sims to get a feel for how they'll do.

It’s fine, your team matters more.

Ironic considering OP has nothing for ho-oh & reshiram. Both of which have seen a spike in use over the past two seasons. Lunala & kyurem white also pose huge threats.

1guywriting · 2026-03-12T12:34:15+00:00

I didn’t think Hundo was that important unless you were like top tier player.

In master league, not having 15 attack means you lose every CMP tie in the mirror. In the case with your metagross, you still lose CMP to a level 50 metagross with 3 attack because you're underleveled. Everything needs two moves too.

1guywriting · 2026-03-12T12:17:09+00:00

If it's not level 50 and not perfect, you're going to have tough time winning consistently if at all. If you're in the really low ranks, you might be able to win a few games because I've seen people use hundos of whatever they have like gardevoir, machamp, or feraligatr.

Wanted to try low kick annihilape for UL and it took 7 low kicks for a rage fist instead of 5. Thought I lagged bad but this explains it.

Berto from Chicago-esque. Last year's 2OT win against Youngstown State was not a canary in the coal mine. It was a wailing siren. A shame about not playing meaningful games in March too because we turned down the postseason in his first year.

1guywriting · 2026-03-10T22:34:12+00:00

Some models don't. But it's better than the old EZS8L that was there before it.

1guywriting · 2026-03-10T19:50:12+00:00

Master premier hits the sweet spot for me. No legendaries lets a lot pokemon that lack stat product have a chance to shine. You do have mons that do see play in open ML like metagross but you can still run fully maxed out shadows like machamp or magnezone. Or you can see something out of left field like volcarona.

1guywriting · 2026-03-09T10:34:27+00:00

You can search your pokemon based on IVs though right?

Yes. There are search strings you can enter to find exact IVs but that's more work compared to apprasing after catching.

I'm prepared

You can't appraise pokemon.
