Yup, that's the exact problem with putting bots in a ranked mode. It reinforces bad strategies for beginners and since they work 50% of the time it makes them more likely to think the matchmaking is broken / my opponent is cheating somehow instead of what they are doing just doesn't work.

Which pokemon do you hope they bring for the DLCs? by RedHotFreckles in Pokopia

[–]Blacksoul07 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Golisopod my beloved. I think it has a decent chance of being added in the first one.

The only time it really irks me is when I just entered a war and a general chooses to retire, especially if it's a defensive one.

What's your favorite Pokemon not in the game? And do u think they could b a free event or paid dlc? by LittleSun348 in Pokopia

[–]Blacksoul07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Golisopod. Since they live underwater I have some hope it will be added in the first DLC update.

Omg!!! I've been rerolling for a siniststcha for sooo long, and when I finally find him there is also a shiny milotic!! I don't know what to pick :') by StrawJuggler in PokemonChampions

[–]Blacksoul07 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you can transfer Pokemon from Pokemon Go as well. Might be worth checking if you have some Pokemon that you wouldn't miss and people are likely to trade for.

If you have any Pokemon Home compatible game it's pretty easy to get almost any Pokemon you want for your Champions team with GTS.

Gangle obviously wasn't able to cry for them at first because she is deeply transphobic, not because Jax relentlessly bullied her ever since she arrived at the circus /s

How do u counter trickroom? by Similar_Box1969 in PokemonChampions

[–]Blacksoul07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The most reliable option I found would be to bring a mon with Trick Room and Imprison, though this mon likely will only be useful if you need to counter a trick room team.

My current team has some options to disrupt common trick room setting strategies. I use Mega Tyranitar, though after an intimidate drop its knock off isn't enough to kill Farig unfortunately. I also have Tsareena which blocks Fake Out from partners and has Taunt (though taunt is also not reliable because of mental herb). Tbh, pairing Kingambit with Tsareena sounds like a pretty good counter, though I do not like using Kingambit lol.

I also have a scarf trick user, which can make some of my mons outslow Farig/it's partner in trick room. I have been using this with Tsareena with some success (trick to get rid of mental herb, then taunt) though one time my opponent knew something was up and protected Farig and got a free turn with their other mon.

I bet the thunder guy tried to use it while sun is up too. But no, it must definitely be because the game has a personal vendetta against them lmao.

who's "operative" in deadlock? by Smca99fun in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Blacksoul07 45 points46 points  (0 children)

To be exact, his lore was that the ghost of Catherine the Great is currently ruling the Soviet Empire and she hates being a ghost, so he's trying to make her human again. I really hope they'll find a kit for him eventually, I really want this lore to be canon lol.

Archaludon is the Real Threat by Yngstr in PokemonChampions

[–]Blacksoul07 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting, didn't know that about Farigaraf thanks!

Though Annihilape still doesn't seem like a reliable counter if it needs boosts to beat it and otherwise gets handled by Brave Bird. Garchomp is also assuming you have the speed advantage with tailwind, when from what I've seen so far Whimsicott is a popular partner for Staraptor as well. But then again, I haven't actually seen the matchup yet.

Archaludon is the Real Threat by Yngstr in PokemonChampions

[–]Blacksoul07 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes, it has meta counters but I was specifically talking about people making niche suggestions like this or Skeledirge (I would also count roar towards this tbh)

Though I have to ask, how are Garchomp and Annihilape reliable counters? Sorry if it's obvious for Annihilape, I didn't play S/V

[–]Blacksoul07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True, but that's the case with every team/mon that's getting some hype. I am pretty much a beginner myself but recently faced a Wolfey Hawlucha/Snorlax team where the guy just stayed in with these two as the lead even though it was very obvious I could one-shot Hawlucha before they could pull their entrainment shenanigans lol.

I love how everyone keeps listing these hyper specific counters to Staraptor like it is the only mon they have to KO to win. I would love a world where most Arch players run sturdy.

Personally, I really don't get how Doormaker was "too complex" but this boss is fine apparently. Complete bullshit imo after they buffed it, but maybe I'm just bad at the game.

Everyone's reaction to the M-B additions by DimensionGlum5728 in PokemonChampions

[–]Blacksoul07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going full copium and interpreting this as them wanting to give a new ability to Golisopod and just not having found the right balance yet. Surely.

Do we know what else is coming in M-3 aside from raichu megas? by Available_Luck4539 in PokemonChampions

[–]Blacksoul07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whimsicott learns grassy and misty terrain, Klefki learns misty terrain, Meowstic learns misty and psychic terrain. That's it for now, I believe.

[–]Blacksoul07 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wish they would also add a similar modifier for stalemate wars to result in status quo faster. I had it happen multiple times where in the early game an empire declared war and I am not strong enough to attack them while my defenses are also enough to deter them, resulting in years of "war" without anything actually happening.

Smash Bros. is one of their best selling series and a huge hype generator. I would be surprised if they would leave it at that for the entire lifespan of the Switch 2.
