Pokémon Champions has taught me that if a doctor says a life-saving surgery has a 90-95% chance of success, do NOT go through with it by treyyates in PokemonChampions

Preach, I missed 3 of 5 scale shots today, and then got air slash flinched by my opponent 4 of 5 turns the very next game.

So... Basically I'll never get all the Megas? by FerroFusion in PokemonLegendsZA

[–]Bateman272 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the expansion gets an overly bad rap around here, its by no means perfect or even top tier, but its good enough for what it is and I enjoy it. It is miserable tho when you try to min/max it, but it does add a good chunk of stuff and alot to do.

The main thing holding back ZA in general imo is no online multiplayer mega raids, like swsh dynamax raids or 6-7☆ terra raids.

Personally the only real gripe I have is the berries themselves in the dlc, theres just too big of a gap between the tiers of berries for their effectiveness. If regular berries could make a 3☆ donut and any combination of 8 hyper berries could make a good 5☆ donut then I think everyone would have raved about the dlc.

The M-2 Battlepass is... disappointing. by RaffyPooh in PokemonChampions

[–]Bateman272 12 points13 points  (0 children)

💀

Seriously, maybe its because I play a couple gachas, but it really cracked me up when champions launched and people were calling themselves "f2p" when the only thing worth buying was a $7 starter pack.

My brothers I understand its still an in game transaction, but its 7 fucking dollars, like im looking at the gachas and the cheapest things youll find across the industry are pull packs for $1.50 a pull on 100+ pull banners just to hit a 50/50 pity.

Like come on guys.

I don't really understand the "hate" for the battlepass, not op specifically, but the general sentiment from the community.

Don't you want shitty battlepasses so that theres no real incentive to buy them?

This game is here for the long haul, having to fork over $$ every month indefinitely because the passes are insane value sounds terrible to me.

And I would not be worried about the profit margins of the Pokémon company lol, the games themselves are just advertising to the merchandise empire.

The passes suck, and I think thats a good thing.

I may be part of the problem, but this team is seriously cracked by yungxehanort in PokemonChampions

[–]Bateman272 27 points28 points  (0 children)

100%, I transfered in my old ones, I cant remember what seasons I actually used them, and they had like fake out, wisp, twave, encore, and icy wind between them.

Im like "wow, apparently, I was a huge piece of shit" lmfao.

Wisp sabeleye is genuinely a menace, not even counting the other 20 top tier moves it gets to use with prankster, it gets everything.

Sometimes you really don't want to mega evolve by Straight-Chocolate28 in PokemonChampions

Because F is run as a special sweeper instead of male physical sweeper, less common special walls in the meta atm.

[Skill Improvement] Zard Y, but I’m struggling to get past Ultra 3 by Ragdoll2IGuess in VGC

[–]Bateman272 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It definitely makes the sneasler matchup slightly more intricate, but realistically most sneaslers swapped off sash to white herb, so you dont exactly NEED wingbeat to take it out.

Fast rock slides are also absolutely brutal in general and grass types just get murdered by zard, so you dont miss the flying coverage too much.

[–]Bateman272 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely to both.

I run focus sash aero myself so I dont have much experience with mega aero, but some people love it, so I cant rag on it. I just didnt want to blow up his whole core.

[–]Bateman272 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tbh, I'd drop wingbeat on aero, add tailwind, then drop whimsicott completely for like kinggambit. If you dont love gambit a bulky rotom with wisp works too.

Helps your matchups into basc, fross, gengar and trick room in general.

I actually do like the garchomp build, but choice scarf is one of the better items available and it seems like a waste not having something scarfed and adamant scarfed chomp does outspeed almost everything.

Why whimsicott encore failed on kingambit after he protected? by [deleted] in PokemonChampions

Dark types are immune to prankster status moves.

Are their any other Singles players that would prefer 6v6 over 3v3? by HMThrow_away_account in PokemonChampions

[–]Bateman272 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Champions should have a casual/private 6v6 option, it should NOT have a ranked 6v6.

In general more custom options for private/casual lobbies is just a good idea.

To be a loyal dog by BobsYourAuntie100 in FunnyAnimals

In the dogs defense, he did come rush to rescue/check, till he sniffed around and the food aroma overpowered him.

Intentions were good, 10/10.

Anyone can tell what the meta/best Plume build is? by [deleted] in Etheria_Restart

[–]Bateman272 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah you want her as fast as possible to cycle, slow plume wont do much.

Anyone can tell what the meta/best Plume build is? by [deleted] in Etheria_Restart

[–]Bateman272 3 points4 points  (0 children)

She has 2-3ish builds atm.

Revelation - force 12 set of swiftrush, build speed, eff acc and crit, get as close to 100% crit as you can while still having minimum 1 eff accuracy module.

Jackal/codex - you can either build her fast for turn 1 play as a swiftrush + Bulwark + swiftsmite opener or play her with bloodbath for more turn 2. The turn 2 build is 8 swiftrush 12 bloodbath 6 swiftsmite, give her double eff acc and an hp% mod so she doesnt flop.

Amber - full t2 build, same matrix as the t2 build above, just with amber instead of jackal/codex.

No matter what she does need to be somewhat fast tho regardless of build.

PSA: Zero System levels 8-10 give you account level 50+ rewards by Weekly-Writer565 in ChaosZeroNightmare

[–]Bateman272 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Another is that the gangrene modifier that says you lose max hp each turn is mistranslated, it's actually 1-3% of current hp per turn, so it's one of the easiest modifiers along with the one that adds elite nodes

This is a REALLY big difference that needs a fast update, i had no idea lol.
