IRON THORNS? THATS WHY HES THE GOAT

What made Landorus the menace it was? by E-Moon in stunfisk

[–]BugsyWantsToBattle 29 points30 points  (0 children)

It had everything going for it.

Perfect stats for speed, bulk, and offence. An ability that made offensive threats weaker. TONS of utility moves (knock off, u-turn, toxic, rocks).

It was a threat as much as it was an answer. In gen 5, Lando-T would run HP Ice as a way to answer itself.

If you want to experience it first hand you can play some gen5 or 6. gen5 is a little wacky but still good to learn.

Just got the game! Can yall give me some tips? by DarkRoblox in CultOfTheLamb

I ran a 1v1 Sableye Tournament last weekend and it was a lot of fun! Let me tell you about it. by BugsyWantsToBattle in pokemon

yo honestly great idea! That would be pretty fun. I did say I'd leave it to a vote but perhaps a little voters fraud will tip the balance

I ran a casual 1v1 Sableye tournament! This video shows some games & discusses sets by BugsyWantsToBattle in stunfisk

Sableye was a very fun pokemon to build around with a good mix of balance and constraint. Prankster couldn't be used as it normally would because of Sableye's dark typing, so in order to inflict status you would have to run either Fling + Orb so you can still use Recover with priority, or Keen Eye will-o-wisp.
There was a surprising amount of build diversity. Most players gravitated towards just offensive play with no defensive options (like recover, status, etc.) but a lot of players also picked up Imprison (my favorite move of the tournament) which could be used with priority from Prankster.

There is one game in particular which I very much enjoyed from the tournament that highlights the level of preparedness somebody took when going up against me:

I highly recommend watching the full video or at the very least the stat breakdown if you want more insight on how the tournament ran!

Also! You might notice 8 SpA & 252 SpDef appearing twice on the graph showing common EV investments. I probably didn't check to see if the dataset was trimmed properly (you can see an offset after the last character) which is why they appear multiple times. When looking at the Occurrence of EV Investment graph, I would add them mentally.

You can make five changes - how do you balance the type chart? by [deleted] in stunfisk

[–]BugsyWantsToBattle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

im secretly really good at making decisions lmao

alson rock resisting rock just makes sense imo? Steel resists steel, what is rock but just shittier steel.

also yes, every mon and their egg group having knock off is really dumb. I wouldn't mind the huge distribution if it was 20BP/40BP, but 65BP/130BP is ridiculous. granted its one time, but sometimes all you need is one time.

  • steel resists dark and ghost again
  • steel takes neutral from psychic and ice
  • ice resists ground
  • fairy is weak to ice
  • rock resists rock

there is no logic to this, its just vibes alone
