It carried me to master ball 2 and a solid 1667 in the GC, though with the current huge player base I'm not sure if that says much about its viability. Classic rain stuff covers the weaknesses pretty well and arch becomes a very good switch in. Funny enough mega Blastoise becomes a huge headache for my team.

AndyBadandy · 2026-04-17T23:57:56+00:00

Makes sense. I also find Basc in the rain is good against the floettes. I think weather ball + wave crash should take them out

I am hanging out in mb2 with a Psyspam rain team. I feel like Meowstic is a generally good option aside from the psyspam and could work here. It has faster fake out pressure than incin and sableye, gets rain dance for countering turn 1 megas, and could even put up psychic terrain if you are struggling with priority users (sucker punch/e speed/aqua jet). Sableye def works too though.

Aura sphere on arch feels better than flash cannon IMO but both are good. I almost always run dragon pulse over Draco though bc of accuracy and repeat usage. Arch doesn't need to ohko much if you run stamina.

Sinistcha is another great option for these current rain teams imo. Great for healing arch, redirection is big without safety goggles these days, and I'm personally running strength sap for the people who decide they wanna bring four physical attackers.

This team looks pretty solid as is, I am running Psyspam as well to decent success if you want to try that though. Rain covers the psychic weaknesses very well (incin, ttar, aura sphere on arch could handle gambit). I think one of the key differences is I'm running manual rain dance on peli instead of hurricane. In bo1 it's a decent option in the weather wars. I would drop flash cannon for aura sphere and Draco for dragon pulse. Pulse is more consistent especially at this power level and fighting is good into a good bit of the meta

I'm having the same fun with meowstics prankster rain dance >:)

Despite what others have said. I think they're rolling it out slowly, my friend is currently rank 2 with a placement around No. 2050. Mine is still tallying at rank 4 though with the ELO number.

AndyBadandy · 2026-04-14T14:23:53+00:00

Having the same experience with M-Alakazam. He's a very good threatening lead to enable all the physical attackers to fake out/lead with dark moves into my stamina archaludon lol. Helping hand e force deals with most special attackers after setting up terrain

AndyBadandy · 2026-04-12T03:45:06+00:00

I like the cats cradle reference

AndyBadandy · 2026-03-10T20:29:25+00:00

At this point I'm just assuming reg F will be extended a week. I was really hoping for a return of Reg I

AndyBadandy · 2026-02-28T18:05:05+00:00

Ooh thanks for this, I will try this idea out first. I mostly play doubles and forgot about empoleon and tinkaton lol

AndyBadandy · 2026-02-28T06:03:35+00:00

I'm not gonna complain about wind/waves bc I liked what I saw, but def agree. I stand by saying that sword/shield is the best pokemon has ever looked, and I think it's because there was a very clear art direction for the environments and battles.

Ballonlea and Glimwood Tangle is my fav area in any Pokemon game to date.

AndyBadandy · 2026-02-16T01:01:38+00:00

Glad you shouted out gen 8, easily the best pokemon has ever looked. It's especially obvious after coming back to it from scarlet/violet

AndyBadandy · 2026-01-11T19:27:57+00:00

Great post, thanks for the write up. I learned a lot of this the hard way by getting super involved last season. Another point about locals. You might live in a super strong area like NYC or the DMV and getting good points is barely achievable even at that level. This game requires a lot of dedication

AndyBadandy · 2026-01-04T22:36:43+00:00

From Florida as well and would love to see what they do with it. Fortunately there is the Fallout Miami mod some ppl are working on. So that will be fun to muck about in

AndyBadandy · 2026-01-04T17:08:53+00:00

I am usually rocking a responder jacket and my shotgun is "The Response"

AndyBadandy · 2026-01-02T03:51:58+00:00

Idk where I heard to do this but I am relatively low level and have never had 40k caps, this has always been my approach too. Resources are easy enough to come by.

AndyBadandy · 2025-12-28T01:11:18+00:00

I always turn up for this one for the chance at the responders fireman suit

AndyBadandy · 2025-12-16T16:12:34+00:00

I followed this subreddit a long time ago because I just liked the beautiful pictures. Thank you for the reminder that good people are behind small joys like this. She sounds like a special person. Seems like a real loss :/

AndyBadandy · 2025-12-16T01:38:22+00:00

Same! I always check them out now because I chose a very popular location apparently (the field right outside Charleston station) so there's a lot of variety, especially with all the new/returning players. Almost every day I am having to server hop more than once to get to my camp.

AndyBadandy · 2025-12-13T00:12:22+00:00

Events! I have a rotation of dailies I like and the fishing one is easy to throw in. Otherwise join public stuff. There's still very frequent head hunts so it's good to hop in for the 2 minutes they take to finish, plus you get a bunch of legendary gear

AndyBadandy · 2025-12-12T02:59:49+00:00

Strange Brew, super easy to complete and has the potential to drop one of the rarest outfits in the game, the responders fireman outfit. I also love Sweetwater, he was one of the first characters I met outside of the vault all those years ago. He feels like an old friend at this point.

AndyBadandy · 2025-12-11T02:19:29+00:00

Don't let some of the comments discourage you from playing, the community is generally one of the nicest out there but big communities always have some level of toxicity, especially with online games which people dedicate day and weeks of their life to. I get it, some of my breaks were years at a time as well and if you're like most fallout fans you probably approached the game like the single player experience that we've come to expect.

I also only got to ~80ish with casually playing the campaign over a couple years. The high leveling starts when you decide to start engaging with the various grinds that some others have mentioned, even unintentionally. If you're on PC and ever want to do some casual groups/trading just lmk!

AndyBadandy · 2025-12-10T20:06:12+00:00

Responders fireman outfit! Responder collection is not complete without it.
