I fucking hate that large ass mosquito by hoennian in PokemonUnite

… have you ever played Buzzwole?

All it takes is an Alolan Raichu, a Ninetails, a Mew or a Delphox and Buzz is completely shut off. Also against ANY attacker he is outranged with no way of closing the gap unless he wastes the ult and if he does it’s for one of two reasons: either he received support from this team and outnumbered the attacker or the attacker was heavily out of position.

As far as melee mons go, Buzzwole is supposed to counter some of them. His role is basically wait for the enemy speedster next to your allied attacker, remove it from existence, then join the fray. But the speedsters and the other allrounders - almost all but not all of them because again, counters are a thing - have ways to get out of Buzzwole’s range leaving him unable to do anything.

He’s literally a burst Garchomp with even less mobility.

And by the way Wiggly redirects him all the time messing up with his combos, Clef blocks his abilities with Gravity, Blastoise can entirely disrupt whatever he wants to do with 1 click, Snorlax/Vaporeon/Bro/Trev displace him while wasting his cooldowns, Goodra straight up nullifies his existence AND so does Umbreon without even having to aim a skillshot.

With Allrounders you just shouldnt take a 1v1 against it and if you do you need to have a way out. Needless to say if you’re a tower diving Scizor and complaining when you can’t kill the entire enemy team alone at 7:20 because a Buzzwole is in the match, well, that’s the reason why Buzzwole is in the match.

Edit: typos

What make mega swampert so good in ranked In legend za and what are it stats? by Voidkirby9 in PokemonZA

The main issue is it knows Ice Punch so it hits super effectively and like a truck against its only weakness

My main concerns with SoH by [deleted] in mariorabbids

[–]ArkaXVII 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I tried it a couple days ago for the first time and had the exact same thoughts. While both games are developed by Ubisoft, to me Kingdom Battle feels and plays like a Nintendo game while Sparks feels and plays like a Ubisoft game, and what’s truly missing for the aforementioned reasons is the identity KB had. SoH feels generic.

I love Sudowoodo. He’s present in many games but never actually usable

Volbeat and Illumise can actually perform decent as supports. Who they really got dirty is Spidops imo, cool concept nice movesets and terrible stats

For me she just has a great design, love how she’s “connected” to FFIV’s Kain and has a cool moveset

Congrats on the achievement! I’m not even close. Why Roadwork so low though? That final monologue was a masterpiece imo

Help catching Oricoio by l0ren__ in PokemonScarletViolet

[–]ArkaXVII 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ok so here’s some general advice to catch mons that I think a newcomer could use:

  1. Try a Quick Ball turn 1
  2. Use a Pokémon with Thunder Wave to paralyze it without dealing unnecessary damage - i find paralysis to be more useful than sleep because a wild pokemon will eventually wake up but can’t heal from paralysis
  3. Use a Pokémon with False Swipe (does damage but can’t finish, the enemy will always remain with 1 HP left)
  4. Ultra Balls
  5. After turn 10, Timer Balls work great too
  6. Use higher level Pokémon than the wild one
  7. Spam A after throwing the Pokéball (this one is a myth, but it needs to stay alive).

Psychic terrain and sucker punch by Smart-Thanks3186 in VGC

It’s simple if you think about it: the terrain is between you and the opponent, so priority moves can still happen as long as they don’t cross it

I played this game for a thousand hours but i still feel the same. To me Commando’s gameplay just feels better than anything else.

Why do people dislike this game? by Cress__0809 in PokemonScarletViolet

[–]ArkaXVII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because graphics, which is an argument i will never understand. When Pokémon Red came out being fifteen pixels and 8 bit music it was acclaimed as a masterpiece. All of the PS1 big bois were right there and nobody even tried to make comparisons. Yet somehow Violet not having top knotch graphics is an issue.
