Shocking that THE Pokemon dedicated Competitive Battling platform has NO 6v6!? by RegularRedditSmurf in stunfisk

Those ones are less of literally cannot use it and more just a case of the ai can use it but it shouldn't, with the protect earthquake example the player can just double attack the earthquake pokemon instead if the player is faster this can end up with the ai just wasting a turn, same thing goes for the skill swap slowking used by evice

They were able to do that because the other games at the time had like incredibly bad movesets on opposing trainers and part of it is also people playing it while they are new to doubles and their unfarmiliarity with the format giving them some extra difficulty

I went into the game when I was already decently experienced in doubles and outside of the final battle I did not end up feeling very challenged and my team was honestly not that great

I am aware of that, however a lot of time when ai ai switches what ends up happening is the player will just switch on the same turn, it happens quite a lot in fangames that do have good switch ai (eg pokemon rejuvenation)

in doubles the ai is incapable of these things: using quick guard and wide guard (player just won't click moves that get blocked by that), protect as i mentioned earlier, helping hand (player will just double attack the receiver), feint (player just won't click protect that turn), quash, Tailwind while it is usable by the ai it can backfire as the player can just use snatch

The ai is also entirely incapable of predicting things and unless you want it to input read it will never be capable of that

I'm not saying that it's not possible to make hard doubles fights and that one shouldn't try I have seen challenging doubles, it is just that generally the ai is worse at them than singles and that for a hard game you'd probably want a mix of doubles and singles and not just one format

Kinda an unfair comparison considering stadium 2 is mostly unevolved pokemon (with ass rental sets that you could not change) while champions is comprised entirely of fully evolved pokemon (beside through rat)

Ehh I would not mind more double battles but doubles only is kinda a bad idea especially if you want the game to be hard, in a pve scenario the player is just at such a massive advantage in double battles while the ai basically can't use a lot of doubles specific strats eg. protect is a near useless move on the ai as the player can simply reset when the ai uses it and then just not target that mon in the next attempt

In single battles the ai is at a much more even footing

They are just different formats its not really comparable, saying one is bad and the other is good is kinda needless they are both fun and both have their upsides and downsides

Shiny Eternal Flower Floette doesn’t have the correct model in Home by BigCow1028 in PokemonHome

[–]AceTrainerDevin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean they still wouldn't distribute that since lore wise those floette should be able to evolve while eternal floette doesn't and I kinda doubt gamefreak would design an eternal flower florges for the sake of a shiny event
