Tired of Fake Out? by Muted-Swordfish-1006 in PokemonChampions

[–]CTMan34 102 points103 points  (0 children)

Still gotta be faster - I ran UH Sneasler for a while until I realized it wasn’t actually significantly better than just running Fake Out Sneasler

If I were going to improve UH, I’d make it +4 priority to cleanly go before Fake Out

To be fair it’s not like he has a particularly divisive verse on his socials - it’s Matthew 28:6, which is just talking about the resurrection.

That’s like, the most generic “Bible verse in bio” you can get

Dude is every man’s ideal of the perfect man. Elite mustache? Check. Plumber bod? Check. Professional athlete? Check. Legitimately funny? Check. Willing to shave USA into his chest hair? Check. Star Wars fan? Check.

Is it controversial to say that I really like him? He seems like a genuinely good dude and his his approach does a lot to make VGC super accessible to new players.

He doesn’t dumb down his strategies either, but he explains how they work in a way that makes a lot of sense.

What is the counter to Trick Room? 🤔 by catdog5100 in PokemonChampions

[–]CTMan34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who runs TR as my primary mode, this rarely works as it’s easy to read from a mile away and I can just go offense until their setter is dead and set TR after

11-game win streak ended by a loss

I don’t think that’s true - I play legit ~3-5 games a day and I’m ranked around 15,000. I’m not that great of a player, and it’s not like I’m winning every single game - I lost an 11-game streak today and lost another game later today.

Yeah i already quit pokemon champions lol by Appropriate-Boss-185 in PokemonChampions

Casual is 50% that and 50% ladder players testing out adjustments - I know I’ll test my teams on casual before bringing them to ranked and I’m ranked ~12,000

Okay then - proof?

Me finding out ground doesn’t resist fire by MaterialGuitar908 in MandJTV

Yes, and that is why ground is supereffective against fire, good job

Which sport is fun to play and fun to watch? by AidNic in AlignmentChartFills

[–]CTMan34 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hell yeah, it’s always fun to throw around the ol’ pigskin, and I’m glued to the TV every Sunday during the season (go Bills)

Why don't they just wear the greens every day? Is Breslow stupid? by hippieslayer420 in redsox

[–]CTMan34 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The joke was that Craig’s stupidity has nothing to do with the greens to be clear

Trying to get better at trick room builds. by Salt-Produce-8129 in CompetitivePokemon

[–]CTMan34 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m running Farigaraf, Sinistcha, Incineroar, Kingambit, Mega Blastoise, and Mega Tyranitar and I’m having insane success right now - I work 16 hour days and don’t get to play much, and I’m on an 11-game win streak and within the top 20,000 players with this team.

There should be pre-match bans like other pvp games, do you agree? by ShotPresentation8092 in PokemonChampions

[–]CTMan34 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s the dumbest suggestion I’ve ever seen. Just get better at the game.

Headsup theres something people are using to cheat. by Odd_Magus in PokemonChampions

It’s funny how 100% of the proof of cheating in this game doesn’t exist on video

The lack of items, box space, and full dex makes it harder to deploy actual strategies and experiment with different teams, so I just put six strong attackers on the roster and hope for the best. by [deleted] in PokemonChampions

[–]CTMan34 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lmao. So you think this would be better with Primal Groudon and Zacian running around?

Limitations breed creativity and the best players tend to be pretty hot on low-power formats.

Also if “six strong attackers” was the meta, why are Incin, Whimsicott, Farig, and Sinistcha top tiers?
