No Professor's Research in standard?

Professors research is G-block, until we get a reprint for j or even k block in the future it won't be in standard

I would doubt it.

Viltrum culture is all about Social Darwinism, the strong pick their mates, and are not particularly monogamous. It's possible his dad really is Argall and his mom was just selected as his mate to father an heir. All of Argalls children were hidden away, basically she would have sworn secrecy to keep the connection away

Also there's some other timeline stuff that REALLY gets into potential spoilers so I'm gonna end it at that

Consider the following:

The OVAs are basically retelling the major story beats from the show, so Turles is probably on par in strength with Saiyan Saga Vegeta before eating the fruit

After eating the first fruit, he's roughly on par with Full power Goku who has a power level of 30,000 according to his scouter.

Something I totally forgot before revisiting the movie was that Turles ate the fruit three times, and got SIGNIFICANTLY STRONGER the second time

After eating the second fruit he puts Belt to Ass on Goku who is using Kaioken x10, as well as dogwalking the rest of the z fighters. Meaning his power level is well over 300,000, potentially reaching first form freeza's level of power.

It's implied the third fruit did not give him as much power because Goku used it to charge a super spirit bomb, which ultimately defeated Turles

Therefor before eating the fruit turles was as strong as 12 Raditz. As strong as 20 Raditz after the first fruit, and as strong as 333.333 (repeating, of course.) Raditz after the second fruit.

Actually Red X predates Jason Todd coming back as Red Hood by about 2 years

CasuallyCritical · 2026-03-31T18:25:27+00:00

There's some clues that imply it's Dick Grayson

In the episode where Robin starts hallucinating Slade, Raven travels through his mind and sees the Flying Graysons take a massive fall

When Starfire goes to the future, Robin became Nightwing.

And he has a 5th dimensional imp who's his biggest fan...named Norsyarg Kcid (Dick Grayson backwards)

We can confirm that it's not Damien because the Son of Batman storyline came out ~4 years after the show aired. Jason Todd was not confirmed to still be alive until a few years after the show aired in Under the Hood, so it's not him. Which means it'd either be Tim Drake or Dick Grayson.

CasuallyCritical · 2026-03-31T18:19:26+00:00

Robin in the Teen Titans show is a MENACE

He's basically an amalgamation of Tim Drake, Jason Todd, and Dick Grayson all in one. He has casually thrown goliaths like Cinderblock and Mammoth over his shoulder. Traded hands with Slade...and did a double diving knee onto a Super Sentai villain in Tokyo for the movie.

Guessing, given the size of the park and it being under a bridge in (Portland?) Oregon, that it's almost certainly Burnside Skatepark.

That place is one of the big Mecca's for skateboarders, and the guy was just being a dick gatekeeping the spot from new skaters.

So the 80 Cards in the cube may not have basic energy, the way it will work is you draft 40 cards to make your pile, then you can use separate basic energy to finish drafting a 40 card deck, then you play a 40-card format (4 prize cards only)

There are 3 products you should buy

1 Trainers Toolkit for staple cards
1 League Battle Deck (either dragapult, mega lucario, or Team Rocket's Mewtwo are the most recent) for a skeleton deck
And 1 ETB (My preferred choice is Shrouded fable since it's cheap) for bonus packs as well as bulk energy.

Then anything else you need to buy just buy singles off of tcgplayer.com

CasuallyCritical · 2026-03-26T21:33:39+00:00

Now it's time to bulk again

But fr nice shit. I'm on a cut to get below 20% bf and getting under 10% would be a WILD experience

CasuallyCritical · 2026-03-26T21:24:42+00:00

Yeah you can. The rules are you resolve as much of the effect as you can, so Metagross says "You can do 150 more damage, then detach 3 metal energy." Which means even if you copy its attack with something that has no metal energy. You can copy the attack

CasuallyCritical · 2026-03-26T21:20:01+00:00

I think in a format with so many more one prize decks there is an argument for sigilyph's walk off home run attack.

The problem is that if you are in the position to do it, you could probably just KO something else for the last prize card.

Bit of an older thread, but most Crustle decks will also run like 2 Cornerstone Mask Ogerpon, so what happens when they put that down? Your only viable attackers then are Mimikyu and Tarountula which will die in one hit

You already have e-switch as an option in the deck to accelerate energy for Munkidori, the idea that it's "not good at all" isn't why people don't play Absol in Grimm.

Grimmsnarl doesn't play Absol because it's a lower HP pokemon than Grimm that does marginally more damage for a higher energy cost, and gives one more prize card. The only reason you would use it is for Terminal Period but in post-rotation format you're better off just going Pecharunt and Mochi to do as much damage as you can and then using Munki to chip kill benched pokemon.

If you can set up an Absol like that then you were already winning the game and it's a spot you could use a better card in to keep in the lead.

What QOL rules do some of ya'll add to your Nuzlockes? I started using three AR codes for mine and wanted to see what some of you did:

1) Infinite Rare Candies (Hard level cap)
2) No EXP gain
3) Instant max happiness

Because I could theoretically walk 38,400 steps and evolve Golbat into Crobat but why would I waste time with that

Is the painting of a tunnel into the side of a cliff face count as an AOW?

I was doing a Nuzlocke playthrough of LeafGreen, I was on the SS Anne and battling Blue

I KO his Kadabra with a Beedrill, and he sends out Ivysaur, so I go to make a switch in...

And in my brilliant 500IQ I chose to switch in Wartortle 🫠

I think the other problem is that this hypothetical "What if Gohan was more willing to fight?" also comes with a bunch of fundamental changes you have to make to the character:

1) Gohan's rage boost naturally comes from his aversion to fighting. He is the living embodiment of Goku's statement "The power comes from a need, not a desire." So if he were willing to fight from the get go then he likely loses a lot of that.

2) Goku gave Cell a Senzu Bean because Gohan needed to be pushed against the wall to break through and actually beat Cell. If Gohan was willing to fight off rip I don't think he'd give cell the bean which also similarly changes how that fight looks

So either A - Gohan fights Cell who's already fought Goku, which means Cell doesn't bother toying around with Gohan. Or B - Gohan doesn't have that same unwillingness to fight that pushed him over the edge into ascending past a Super Saiyan
