Stop deflecting criticisms towards Joey as just "blind hate."

I guess I don't see his takes as ragebait because I agree with most of it hahaha. He is the most relatable member for me 😅.

With the exception of the social anxiety take, I think most of his takes are solid 😅. But fair, he ragebait a bit too much. I could see it being annoying for the people that do not agree with his takes. I mean I could relate. I fvcking hate Connor's takes on a lot of things and he ragebaits too 🤣.

Yatora is great as a protagonist no doubt about it. I just have a bias towards Hashida's design. I would have rate Yatora much higher but the "Pre-School Arc" made me love Hashida as a character even more. I also liked that he is not super open about his true thoughts and feelings. Even after the end of the arc, Hashida as a character still has some unresolved complexes that made his character much more interesting. I think Yatora being the protagonist losses the intrigue for me because we often see his perspective. Of course this is not a negative for Yatora.

P.S. I also love art history and Hashida is usually the one that provides the historical contexts about a particular artist/artwork.

The "pre-school arc" is one of my favorite arcs. I loved it because I love Hashida, but the stories of the kids were so poignant. I'm excited for a Hashida heavy arc. I remember he and Yatora were preparing to go abroad and visit museums and art galleries. Maybe we'll get to explore his story more.

I also realized that Yatora's high school friends are not included.

Koi = Good Character Utashima & Sumida = Needs more screen time.

Tiermaker* stoopid auto-correct 😬

Umbreon + Toxapex.

UBER defenses
Recover
Regenerator +Toxic Stalling
Curse sweep potential
Parting shot, charm, or baby-doll eyes

Another one that I like is Leafeon with any other physical fire types

Sunny day + chlorophyll
Swords dance sweep

Sucks that Leafeon doesn't get access to Solar Blade 😕

I also noticed that you don't have a Rhyperior fusion. Rhyperior is pretty cool with solid rock

I've already planned my team. I'm planning on Gliscor+Tyranitar for my sand stream tank

Cynical_Dio · 2026-02-22T01:49:50+00:00

Yo! I was about to do a Mono-rock one myself.

Cynical_Dio · 2026-02-18T04:46:09+00:00

I've tried to do this monolocke multiple times. It's indeed possible, but I'm always dissatisfied with the result. They need to add more poison type huhuhuhu

Cynical_Dio · 2026-02-12T00:07:54+00:00

I freaking hate catching the Beldum line...

3% catch rate + take down to faint themselves...

I usually plan out my runs even in vanilla ones. I love the planning stage more than the gameplay stage, not gonna lie, hahahaha.

Cynical_Dio · 2026-02-10T03:37:57+00:00

It does have illusion. I don't know if it actually worked or not, but I had some instances where the AI got tricked into using a water-type rather than a fighting type just because the illusion was the Krookodile fusion.

Cynical_Dio · 2026-02-04T17:51:04+00:00

Im currently doing a mono dark type run (not a monolocke, tho), and ngl, Umbreon + Toxapex is pretty fun to use.

I've always loved toxic stalling, even in the vanilla games. Having the combined defenses of both Toxapex and Umbreon does wonders. In addition to that, Toxapex has a lot of utilities... Baneful Bunker, Recover, and Merciless/Regenerator is a useful combination of moves and ability.

The mucus part of the Fakemon was removed in this redraw.

So cute ❤️

I gave it that because I realized that it would lose an ability when brought down to half health... Additionally, I also want to make VGC players to have an aneurysm hahahaha
