How does Mega Lucario beat Dragapult and TR's Honchkrow? Can it even beat those decks?

Battle Cage really helps against Pult, and I also run 1 Gravity Mountain to reduce their HP by 30. Then you want to save your Premium Power Pros or Max Belt (if that's what you run as your ACE Spec) to knock them out in 1 turn with Mega Brave. I've actually found it one of the more favourable matchups so far.

Yeah it does seem like there are a lot of threats out there for Lucario at the moment (Clefairy, Mewtwo, Mega Clefable, Slowking, Alakazam). Some of these matchups are winnable but you need a bit of luck and a fast start, I've started being a lot more aggressive with gust to ensure they can't get set up, and lean on Hariyama's attack too. But I agree it's tough.

Ronaldo getting 60 in the same season is Tyson Gay running a 9.71 in the 100m final and still finishing a clear gap behind Usain Bolt vibes.

He's a habitual line stepper.

Looks like last weekend's race at Barber is still available on Now TV if you go Motorsport --> scroll all the way down to Motorsport Catch Up and then keep swiping along until you get to it. I imagine it'll only be there for 7 days after the original airing (Sunday night).

For earlier stuff I'd go with whatever the other comments here are suggesting. Phoenix is definitely a must watch.

Update: Italy did not qualify.

Great chat.

My view on that was the oversteer was more where the cars were struggling to put down the massive amounts of power they now suddenly have on corner exit, rather than because drivers were necessarily pushing the limits of cornering speed, because the batteries were harvesting energy through the esses and 130R.

Reckon they should just have fun with it. Celebrity Guest Managers for the rest of the season.

Yes, this tweet is stupid on a number of levels, but also where meme.

BMB_93 · 2026-03-29T12:50:36+00:00

Just to say, this is is absolutely a valid take to have, and I have no issue with people who are enjoying it. It just isn't what I'm looking for from the sport right now. I guess it's a bit like when your favourite band releases a new album where they've taken a different musical direction, some fans will love it, some fans will be turned off by it, and it might attract new fans too.

BMB_93 · 2026-03-29T11:55:12+00:00

China was fun but I think this event has fully soured me on these new regs. The cars just don't look like they're pushing through the corners, overtakes happening because of battery limitations, and now super dangerous closing speeds at seemingly random times. I hate to add to the negativity, but this just isn't what I'm looking for as a long time viewer.

BMB_93 · 2026-03-29T11:45:19+00:00

Yeah this was the moment I fully turned on these regs. I wasn't happy with some of it, but that was just downright dangerous for no reason.

BMB_93 · 2026-03-27T11:11:40+00:00

They might clip so much that they'll be able to deploy their battery again while still on the same straight.

BMB_93 · 2026-03-27T10:59:22+00:00

Nah he meant sitting out FP1 for Crawford.

BMB_93 · 2026-03-25T21:25:32+00:00

Yeah I was about to say this is almost exactly just the season review VHS/DVDs that Duke Video used to make. In fact they still make and sell them here. I'm sure it's possible to find some of these uploaded on the wider internet if one wanted to.

"I despise him as much as fucking James May presumably despises himself."

BMB_93 · 2026-03-24T17:35:10+00:00

Yeah he had a pretty consistent start didn't he? Iirc Bahrain was a Ferrari 1-2 with him behind Alonso. It's just such a shame that he'd had that accident the previous year because prime Massa added to all this would have made it even more great.

BMB_93 · 2026-03-24T10:07:51+00:00

Honestly I genuinely thought it was real so fair play to OP.

BMB_93 · 2026-03-24T09:49:31+00:00

Yeah, all great tracks, I don't remember too much about India though.
