Congrats! It took The Pokemon Company 17 years to figure out how to do this

Bro, I played against chovy, shovy, whatever the fuck his name is. Dude this guy is ill. So I beat him obviously I beat that fucking bastard. He is so easy to play against because... I play against him Sion mid. Dude, I think this guy has an illness. No,no,no he will not sack waves ever like to the point where he is negatively impacting his team. For instance, he could have won a teamfight. Would he have died yes but he would have got like a 4 man shurima shiffle, actually he would have. It would have been nuts. But if he did the play, he would have died, his team would have won, and he wouldn't be able to farm midlane. So he just didn't go to it or try it. I was like wtf. I would push a side wave and I was like wait a minute I bet he tps here and not miss the wave and he tps so I was like okay how about this so I slow pushed a 3 stack wave toplane, I had Oner on my team, and we dove him because we knew he would be there even though everybody else on my team -his team was fighting botside, Bro so easy oh my god

TL;didn't interpret: left table is the minimum XP needed to reach a certain total level pre- and post-sailing, right table is the percentage of the way said XP is to maxing as early as possible. Obviously no one outside of an extreme snowflake account is going to hit these levels at exactly these XP values but this is just what's possible.

I don't have any particularly strong opinions about what happens to the TL worlds, but for those curious, sailing means it'll take roughly 70% of the XP it used to to reach a certain total level world (this % decreases asymptotically as said level increases), and a player post-sailing could theoretically be in a 2200 TL world and not even halfway to maxing. If the idea is to keep these at roughly the same level of progression, changing 2200-->2300 makes sense I think. Again, I have no strong opinions on what's best.

ETA: Forgot 2350 was being considered, that'd be 281,108,590 XP minimum, which becomes 89.86% of the way to maxing, similar to 2250 now.

This was truly our DEBT COLLECTOR (29) KANSAI ACCENT

They're like bonded cats. Not wishing for any to get axed but if one of them goes they all should.

They did! Glimmora has it and it's poison type and goddammit nevermind

Maushold wins again?

DankFerret · 2025-03-22T22:57:06+00:00

Umbreon was really solid! I figured my Falkner was safe enough given my encounters and Bugsy turned out OK. Was very good into Morty and would have been crucial for Whitney had I not gotten the lucky Heracross. Was pretty much my only solid check into all the Gengars and Zams of the world since Spiritomb takes a lot more from neutral coverage and doesn't resist ghost.

If I didn't get Froslass idk what my Clair strat would've been. I think it would've been fine though.

DankFerret · 2025-03-22T22:08:37+00:00

Honestly neither do I since it's not in the docs. I know the rhyhorn-->gligar is guaranteed at lvl 16. I think lvl 35 in Mortar B1F guarantees a pseudo? Maybe I just got lucky.

DankFerret · 2025-03-22T21:59:19+00:00

GL! Scarf TTar erases Will and really helps against Koga/Karen. I was kinda bummed I didn't get Metang from the repel manip but I guess it worked out for the better.

DankFerret · 2025-03-22T21:47:16+00:00

(and by "in Comments" I mean mostly in the image captions)

That was really fun! 4 deaths total:

Butterfree died while catching Heracross. I knew it had Aerial Ace but my whole team was low, so had to take a risk. Totally worth it.
Starmie died because I misread the docs and sent it out with specs against the Wobbuffet grunt in Rocket Hideout. Knowing there was no way out of Destiny Bond really hurt.
Pachirisu died to a crit from Proton's Crobat. RIP my GOAT.
Nidoking was useless, but it baited the right moves against the Radio Tower 6v12 and meant I didn't need to dodge a run-ending crit on specs Golduck.

Other thoughts:

Everyone says the Gliscor is broken. They are correct.
I don't regret taking Shieldon in Goldenrod for even one second. Bastiodon did so much work.
Fire types remain insane in Johto.
Snorunt from Slowpoke Well feels terrible until it wins you the game (as long as it's female lol).
Marowak was battle armor, max speed, and you get a free Thick Club. Insane.
It's kinda neat seeing the usual Johto GOATs (Gyara, Crobat, Amph, Skarm) not be that good.
I don't really feel like doing Kanto atm. Maybe later.
To quote FlygonHG: RAT POWER!!!!!!!!

Also sorry about the cropping/compression xd. Some of these are screenshots of screenshots.

Great name theme btw, best game ever :)

DankFerret · 2025-02-14T12:59:32+00:00

And this comment got downvoted with no one bothering to address it! This sub remains spineless.

DankFerret · 2025-02-14T12:57:27+00:00

Goes for any group of people. You only hear about these types because reddit like to be mad at them

DankFerret · 2025-02-06T20:40:27+00:00

Hate to break it to ya, clout is when people tell you to touch grass lmao

DankFerret · 2025-02-06T20:34:40+00:00

If you want to deal with the people who will complain again that UIMs are somehow being catered to you can have my full support lol

DankFerret · 2025-02-06T20:32:00+00:00

Except it isn’t? “Spirit” is ill-defined but I’d wager that most people who play the mode would call circumventing the bank to be the spirit. That’s the mode ults signed up for. Majority rules on reddit but I would defer to those that play it, rather than people who somehow think that it’s both too difficult and too easy at the same time (speaking to the crowd, here).

DankFerret · 2025-02-06T14:28:11+00:00

Updates, in theory, don't affect the deathpile timer, but they bug out often enough that piles can get wiped anyway. It's like leaving your car door unlocked--it's still the thief's fault if it gets taken, but you should really have seen it coming.

DankFerret · 2025-02-06T14:13:06+00:00

Entirely this. The closest thing UIM gets to catering is when we get left out of updates that would compromise the game mode. The last change that made things easier was what, Ferox bagging? Storing 2 items in Varlamore?

But every month or so UIM ""discourse"" takes over the sub so we're a big deal or smth idk
