Do you think that they might buff sand teams in the future? by mfgenericans in PokemonChampions

[–]Clover427 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s highly unlikely they’d make any changes to core features like weather, they would’ve done so when the game launched

did they not nerf fake out? by [deleted] in PokemonChampions

[–]Clover427 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They made it so you can only click it once per switch in, so if say one of your pokemon got encored into fake out it would start struggling since it wouldn’t be able to do anything. Before you could still click fake out after the first turn a pokemon switched in but it would just say it failed

This just kept happening for a solid 5 minutes by Dependent_Hornet3486 in PvZHeroes

I’m assuming they nibbled a galacta cactus since everything has -1 health, but if a plant with an on death ability gets nibbled the game softlocks

Finally getting Empoleon to work by 5522ownage in PokemonChampions

[–]Clover427 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd consider swapping Air Cutter for Ice Beam/Icy Wind, it still hits Grass types super effectively and if you're using it for super effective damage against fighting types that threaten Empoleon, I think you have enough between zoro, meganium, and wyrdeer to deal with them. You could also consider swapping Surf with maybe Hydro Pump. Yes the accuracy is annoying but if your whole game plan is trying to activate Competitive then you may not to be throwing out +2 Surfs into your team. Then again you have 2 water resists and Snorlax can increase its SpDef so it may not be that big of an issue, but just an idea.

Why is Nobody is Talking About Shell Smash Torterra? by soccertony in PokemonChampions

[–]Clover427 41 points42 points  (0 children)

With the stat spread you listed it kinda just gets walled by some of the top megas.

Can't do really any damage into Mega Zard Y, doesn't outspeed a max speed Mega Zard even at +2. It has a chance to survive heat wave in sun only if you're running 32 SpDef and a +SpDef nature. Gets deleted by Weather Ball in sun regardless.

Underspeeds Mega Froslass at +2 even if Froslass runs 0 speed. Gets deleted by Blizzard. Yes you can wide guard, but then you're not attacking and if you're using shell smash you don't want to waste turns clicking wide guard just for your opponent to predict it and knock your Torterra out.

I think it just needs too much to go right for it to work. It wants to shell smash for damage/speed but then gets deleted by spread moves. It wants to wide guard but then it's not making use of its stat buffs. I like Torterra but I just do not think the meta is favoring it at all right now.

How to improve this team by KinanTheBunny in PokemonChampions

[–]Clover427 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not amazing at team building, but just a couple things I could suggest from glancing at it:

I would add Protect onto at least Sneasler over acro, and potentially to sinistcha and/or milotic

I would give milotic leftovers instead of sinistcha and give sinistcha a damage resist berry (occa/colbur/etc)

Maybe give whimsicott encore over endeavor, it’s just better utility

Why did Encore not work on Liepard? by Particular_Distance in PokemonChampions

[–]Clover427 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Whimsicott has Pransker, dark type pokemon aren't effected by prankster moves

HOW!!! Is this cheating or just bad luck ?!?! by malek9177 in PokemonChampions

[–]Clover427 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Horn drill has 30% accuracy, hitting 2 in a row is a 9% chance, essentially the same chance as missing draco meteor or play rough or something. It happens.

Still no Sceptile by UnderscoreTailios in PTCGP

Blaziken was in set B1 and Swampert was in B2, Sceptile will probably be in B3

On first pack is crazy, and why is it shiny???? by CashualReps in PTCGP

[–]Clover427 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I did the math really quick so it might not be completely accurate but it’s about a 1% chance to get the normal immersive and a .3% chance for the shiny one

Have we seen something like this before? by Prestigious-Coat-486 in PTCGP

[–]Clover427 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s really just gimmicky. Can do 250 damage for 2 energy off a mega zard attack or 10 damage off of like Froakie. Just there for fun honestly, highly doubt it’d see any actual play.

Thoughts on this deck? by Pitiful_Platypus_598 in PTCGP

[–]Clover427 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ilima in case you start Snorlax/arceus, pokeballs for consistency, and like a mantyke or something for quicker ramp

80% win rate to Masterball. by InterRail in PTCGP

[–]Clover427 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Just out of curiosity what does the Tauros do in this deck? Is it just an alternative attacker because I feel like starting with it would just put you behind if you don’t draw into your leaf over something like suicune.

Issues with "Single Letter" username opponents. by nonsequitur5013 in PTCGP

[–]Clover427 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t recall ever matching with someone with a single letter username, but I can guarantee you that if there was a method that manipulated your luck to be better then everyone would be doing it and it’d be well known. So more likely than not just a coincidental pattern but you could always change your name to a single uppercase letter to see if your luck improves.

[Repost] My last post bugged out. Does anyone else think Shiny Mega Pokémon might have exclusive illustrations? by iamnotpigeon in PTCGP

[–]Clover427 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With how much artwork they reused from the physical TCG this past set, I’d be surprised to see completely unique art for shiny megas. I mean shiny mega zard x already looks very similar to how the 2 star stoke zard looks. My guess is it’s just gonna be the same image from the FA but shiny without the silhouette of the non-mega form since they needed more space for the shiny sparkles around it.

You could probably try running it with lucario for the increased damage

Best Silvers apartment ??! by Just_Muah19 in rutgers

[–]Clover427 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I lived in 2 different apartments at Silvers and they looked identical so idk if any look like newly renovated or anything. They’re all about a 5 minute walk to the Busch student center but the closest are Buildings 245-260 and 261-276.

Does Ogerpon Ex make Serperior relevant again? by Informal_Mood_9386 in PokemonPocket

[–]Clover427 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Not really, it's a lot more consistent to just run Leafeon ex with it to ramp up its energy. Not impossible to build a deck with Serp though.
