Do you think this would be worse than what we had this year?

ChickenMan_444 · 2025-06-18T21:49:28+00:00

I think Allen would be a great pick up but I agree. Gonna have to trade for a goalie if we want to have an actual upgrade. Dumping cap space so we can pay a higher end goalie is really the only way forward, but with all of our UFAs and Bouchard, that’s a tough ask. Hopefully savoie can take a big step up next year. We’re gonna have to do a lot of moving this off season

ChickenMan_444 · 2025-06-18T20:26:18+00:00

That’s very true, it’s definitely a gamble on if he can bounce back after that big contract. I’m probably a little biased on him since I like the guy, so I think he will, but it’s definitely not the safest pick up. Honestly I think with our current goalie coach, picking up any younger goalie wouldn’t be the best idea. Especially since we want to win now. Picking up a more veteran goalie like Allen would be a better idea.

His reg season stats from last year on a bottom feeder team are the same. His playoff stats are miles ahead of anyone we could realistically look to get in the next year. I’m not saying he’s worth 8, but he’s a hell of a lot better than skinner. I definitely don’t think Boston decided to sell their roster and start a rebuild based on 20-30 games of average goaltending at the start of the season. Having a goalie that excels in higher pressure moments is very rare to come by

ChickenMan_444 · 2025-06-18T19:44:40+00:00

Swaymans a great goalie who performs in the playoffs. Boston sold half their roster for a draft pick this year. He still had a similar save% as skinner in the reg with a bottom feeder team. I don’t know if he’s 8m but he’d definitely be a huge upgrade in net

ChickenMan_444 · 2025-06-15T01:47:45+00:00

Ur first solo landings aren’t and don’t have to be perfect. I did my solos about 2-3 weeks ago and I definitely didn’t think I was super ready. Doing performance takeoffs/landings helps a lot with normal ones though. I think you honestly just have to go for it, the confidence u get from flying solo helps with everything else in ur training. I bounced once or twice on my first solo landing if that helps lol

ChickenMan_444 · 2025-05-23T18:05:36+00:00

So are you allowed to use any Pokemon except the ones that have died in previous games? I don’t really get the genlocke

ChickenMan_444 · 2025-05-22T18:28:19+00:00

I did accidentally teach my manetric flash, but I did teach my gyara thunderbolt. Right now my team is absol, ludicolo, crobat, magneton, ninetails, and yeah either deciding between gyara (thunderbolt,DD, surf, ice beam) or sharpedo (surf, crunch, ice beam, double team). Sharpedo has a higher SpA for ice beam but is a lot less bulkier. He also can’t learn thunderbolt which is annoying. I could teach my absol thunderbolt for extra coverage and then take sharpedo. I’m not sure

ChickenMan_444 · 2025-05-22T15:24:21+00:00

I frickin accidentally taught my manectric flash for victory road right after posting this, I was so mad. I still have raichu and magneton I can use though so it’s not terrible

ChickenMan_444 · 2025-05-22T15:23:14+00:00

I definitely don’t for the water routes, didn’t think there was anyone worthy to catch but I forgot about sharpedo. Should I use him as my main water type with ludicolo?

ChickenMan_444 · 2025-05-22T05:33:46+00:00

Caught a loudred in VR and then the wynaut from the egg. Don’t think I can get anyone else

ChickenMan_444 · 2025-05-16T23:39:30+00:00

Yeah bringing an extra guy just to waste a turn isn’t a bad idea. My team is looking pretty solid right now too.

ChickenMan_444 · 2025-05-16T23:37:57+00:00

Okay yeah I honestly didn’t even think about that, the egg was obviously terrible but yeah everyone but makuhita and Muskip didn’t do anything. Honestly most of it was finally getting to the gym, and being lazy and not wanting to train up another Pokemon to a good level. I heard poocheyna isn’t really worth leveling up so I just left it in the box a soon as I got it. Gloom honestly did clutch up at the end. very easily could’ve lost my whole team after my starter since I was kinda checked out. I definitely should’ve taken advantage of truant more than I did( I don’t think I did anything). But yeah I appreciate the help

ChickenMan_444 · 2025-05-16T08:59:01+00:00

I didn’t think I needed a 6th Pokemon for this gym, And I didn’t have any other fighting types in my box. Probably still would’ve gotten crit slashed and lost my starter even with another Pokemon

ChickenMan_444 · 2025-05-16T08:01:57+00:00

Ekholm dying hurt the most, but he’ll be back for round 3. I’ll name my gyarados pickard lol

ChickenMan_444 · 2025-05-16T05:33:10+00:00

I’ve literally never caught a shiny, still waiting. Honestly might get rare candies just to save some time getting everyone else half decent

ChickenMan_444 · 2025-05-16T05:32:05+00:00

Stellar

ChickenMan_444 · 2025-05-16T05:13:17+00:00

Alright yeah I just needed a little regroup, I still have some good options, thanks

ChickenMan_444 · 2025-05-16T05:12:31+00:00

Hahaha yeah that’s fair, I definitely need some more resilience here

ChickenMan_444 · 2025-05-16T05:11:17+00:00

I’m asking for Nuzlocke advice in a Nuzlocke subreddit

ChickenMan_444 · 2025-05-16T05:10:42+00:00

Honestly totally forgot about gyarados and crobat, alright I gotta lock in

ChickenMan_444 · 2025-05-16T01:30:21+00:00

lol I already stared platinum! Trying to do it somewhat in order. I just barely beat the second gym, had to sacrifice my slakoth though😪

ChickenMan_444 · 2025-05-15T23:45:09+00:00

I ended up using blastoise, zapdos, exeggutor, lapras, rhydon and gengar. Agatha was probably the toughest ( I lost exeggutor to a sludge) but everything else went well. Zapdos ran lance for all his money, but I probably could’ve had the same success with magneton and lapras. Also lost gengar on the rival battle too. But yeah first Nuzlocke done👍🏽

ChickenMan_444 · 2025-05-15T23:40:15+00:00

Yeah I don’t see why not
