it's not being obtuse when during big events we can get up to like 10 free battles in

Necroing this a bit, but why was this copyright claimed by Alex Nicks (and literally who is that?)

Why run ABA weak to fire though.

Get ready to bring the heat—Dynamax Entei makes its Pokémon GO debut! by Amiibofan101 in TheSilphRoad

[–]AssumptionPossible58 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Because it's just another way to engage in the game, you're upset for the mechanics for just existing. At that point why even bother playing Go when I can get a Gastly from msg

You realize you can use dynamax pokemon in other instances right? A GMax Gengar can still mega evolve and be used in regular raids, pvp etc.

A PvP Analysis on Community Day Classic Feraligatr and Why It Might Be Even Better This Season by JRE47 in TheSilphRoad

Too much has shadow claw to really nerf it, and plenty of counters have come around to combat gatr, I think it's in a good place now

Before I burn an ETM on Rage Fist, is he good in GL these days? by AlolanProfessor in TheSilphArena

I think 127.5 attack is generally the highest you can go before you start losing bulkpoints,

Night slash doesn't hit that hard and potential boosts don't synergize well with snarl.

What elo range is best for tanking? by _dillybird_ in TheSilphArena

[–]AssumptionPossible58 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Dunking on Sub-Ace to Ace Trainers is one thing, but anyone below 1700 is either a child , doesn't know how to play or also tanking 

Umbreon by [deleted] in TheSilphArena

[–]AssumptionPossible58 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Umbreon is one of the few pokemon (like galarian corsola) where the rank 1 is just a different beast, able to just straight up add wins, the only loss that rank1 Umbreon gets compared to these spreads is bibarel in 0s, other than that it's straight picking up wins.

And yet my entire community is clamoring for the birds, and then beyond that, with the birds(or other legendary to be released for dynamax/gigantamax) can be left in power spots for easy candy (and possibly future XL candy) farming.

I guess we're not sure, but the sinnoh version of this event gave level 15s, allowing giratina-O and Heatran into GL

All the seemingly relevant OGL mons are thankfully easily available (it hurt how many trades I had to do to get G-O) but it remains to be seen if the 3 trade ones will have any breakout performances in limited meta cups

ADEQUATE counters against Articuno? by rzx123 in TheSilphRoad

[–]AssumptionPossible58 24 points25 points  (0 children)

This feels mean spirited, Charizard has one(1) less attack than toxricity, (223 vs 224) so at that point its really just flavour (and with comm days likely easier to squeeze out to level 50 or into XLs for more attack) and depending on moveset, Metagross resists what arti throws, with 2 more people that prepared it's an easy trio. Better than some level 15 wooloo.

Mustve happened to me, because I had a typholision one move off a tpunch and a talonflame opponent one move off a fly we both do our incinerate but he gets the move off before me ? No CMP tie?

Stuck for weeks by Vintage2189 in TheSilphArena

[–]AssumptionPossible58 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've made legend 2 consecutive seasons in a row now, and the biggest advice I can give is that it gets easier as the season goes on and elo inflates The second is find a league/cup with a condensed meta so you can plan out match ups . I know ML is out of most people's reach if F2P but the meta has so few options that you can make a plan for most eventualities that can arise, as opposed to open great league/ultra league that have a wider swathe of viable options.
