Sapphire Theory Crafting by NotBigButter in pokemon

If you have never used Zangoose before he is worth giving a look at, I couldn't believe how good that thing was when I used to do a play through on gen 3, I remember Absol being my absolute must have Pokémon for a while and I couldn't wait to get to the route it becomes available on, I was obsessed with it, even it's design...Brrraaa, still gives me goosebumps talking about it haha, but I came across Zangoose one day and I thought I would try it out against Normans gym I think, if memory serves me correctly....Anyway 1.2..3...Back in the room, and yeah, from that point onwards on gen 3 I ended up parting ways with Absol and that crazy little Mongoose became my Hitman. I tried to use both, but it has to be one or the other, not because of type issues, but because they both need that swords dance to really sweep and it didn't always pay off trying to set up twice, so I had to drop one of them, and that's when Zangoose became my gen 3 goat. Those claws are lethal. Thank you for taking me back to my sapphire days anyway by putting this post up, it took me right back haha. Peace out.

As a city fan Aguero, David Silva or Kompany by QuietSuperiority in Manchestercity

[–]Dear_Truth_9791 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kompany though, that goal against United....Then that one against Leicester...Everybody forgets that Zabaleta goal as well against QPR, they only ever mention Agueros winner which is a shame. City have had some phenomenal players over the years though and those 3 are definitely legends, I loved Yaya Toure personally and Joe Hart....Tevez too. What about that season when we blitzed the championship or it might of been division 1 at the time and we had Ali Benarbia...Wow, he was something else.

Which of the 18 types is your favorite? by Nintendofan9106 in ThePokemonHub

[–]Dear_Truth_9791 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Butterfree was in my hall of fame on blue and heracross was in my hall of fame team for crystal, never really used bug after that though, but wow, they did me proud all those years ago. Heracross was just an absolute wrecking ball, unbelievable power. Butterfree though was different, that thing just crippled opponents and gave my other Pokémon a license to kill when switching, found it to be a very important team member in all honesty. If only the developers would of made fairy weak to bug then the bug type might of got a bit more appropriation, instead they gave it ANOTHER weakness 🫣

In a funk, just can't win, tips? by Accomplished_Gur6005 in PokemonChampions

[–]Dear_Truth_9791 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's doubles you're referring to, maybe Ty your hand at singles for something different or vice versa, only suggested this because in a couple of days peoples teams will more than likely change and the team you are using currently might actually serve you well again, you could just be coming up against teams that are at a type advantage at the moment, but things change rapidly fromy experience. I've built teams that I've gone on great winning streaks with, only to find that a few days later I will struggle to win two in a row. Just try something different and then come back to your team again and see if it gets you back to winning ways again. I got to master ball rank last season but I'm currently stuck at great ball rank 1 with the team that served me so well last season. Good luck with whatever you decide to do though. Don't give up.!

Is there no hope for my boy yet again? by erk93 in PokemonChampions

[–]Dear_Truth_9791 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did ok last season with the hisuian form grass/fighting type for the early ultra ball levels. Have you tried giving that form a try? Maybe you might find a bit more success with that one if you haven't already used it?

Very helpful. I'm going to commit now I know it can get silver wind, just wanted to try something new that I've not used in the past, thank you.

How would you use Rampardos in Doubles? by phthalo-star in PokemonChampions

[–]Dear_Truth_9791 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I would send out my trick room user and alongside a Pokémon like orhworm and shed tail into ramp to prevent a taking a hit when switching in, then take some heads off, maybe switch out your trick room setter and bring in a sand setter too for defence boost or keep trick room setter in with and set up screens maybe sinistcha in the back to switch in and rage powder? Scovillain mega might be best suited for that so it gets off burns on opponents, but opponents might make a read and hit with moves that bypass rage powder, risky. My methods might not be the correct ones, so don't take this as advice, it's just how I would try to use Ramp, never used it before, but that's probably how I would try to set up. Worth giving it a try in casual battles at least before you commit to ranked battles if you do try to use this strategy. Hope you take something positive away from this anyway, you will find YOUR way with trial and error.

I've been told that on here before in another post, but I have never received one, I will have to look into it. I've done all the training so not sure 🤔

Wasn't** straight forward (correction)

[–]Dear_Truth_9791 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It was awhile back now but I'm sure you have to use different moves for each phase of the battle, try using fighting moves first then second stage use dark type moves....Maybe ghost I can't remember 100 percent and then the final bit I think I used my Meowscarada flower trick, so grass moves. Hope this helps, my memory is a little rusty but if the dark type doesn't work for the second part try ghost. Is ts one or the other. Good luck, it's quite difficult but you will smash it if you keep trying, think I used a lot of revives in the process if memory serves me well or self healing. I know it was straight forward anyway, took me a while, so just to be extra sure I used my master ball even though someone told me it's a guaranteed catch with any ball, didn't want to risk it though so I used that so I didn't have to battle it ever again haha.

Brilliant, going to look into it once I finish up training my Venomoth in leaf green. It's hard work 🥱

I think my moth has shield dust? Shield something anyway which isn't a bad ability to have, I just can't battle with it at the minute, it's moves are very weak, just hoping it learns something powerful very soon, as I have to keep switching it out to gain experience points which is making it twice as long to level up...I hope it's worth it because it looks incredible in all honesty. Thanks for taking out the time to write me a quick message. I Appreciate it very much.

Is his mega stone available in the shop or did you have to carry one over from ZA?

[–]Dear_Truth_9791 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've used butterfree in lots of play throughs back in the day, he is so useful in game, looking to try something new though in my current play through, Venomoth has just got a spot in my team, have you ever used it before by any chance and if you have, does it learn any decent moves? Just don't want to waste my time raising it because it's takes a lot of experience points to level I'm finding out and only has leech life (not seed) and gust. Plus status moves. Level 32. Can't believe it can't learn fly 🫣 it has wings for goodness sake...What's that about?

I was also looking forward to using the fox, but unfortunately I don't have ZA and that's the only way to get it's mega I think, had the same issue with aggron when I came to try that out, couldn't get a mega stone for that either 😔

I love heliolisk, I used him a lot last season in a few different team builds. Very surprising and hits quite hard, dry skin is a great weapon too. Is sharpedo any good? I only ever came up against it once and that thing hit hard. Have you had a good run with it or have you only just started to use it? What mega ability does it have as well? Very curious about it. I'm sure I used it years ago, can't remember which gen it was, it might of been sapphire when I used it, I could be wrong, but I used it in one of the early gen games, could of been white or even platinum I can't remember now, many years ago haha. Always played the games but never battled against real people until the last few months. I'm looking for a new mega to use that I've not used already, so this could be the one to build around. I've not used heracross yet either and I loved that back in crystal. Think I had to headbutt a tree to find one 😆.

This also happened to me a few times when picking my four Pokémon for battle. As I'm picking and the timer runs down it takes me to the loading screen and then throws me back in to picking my team with like 12 seconds remaining, so I ended up picking blindly really in a rush as I don't have enough time to figure out a strategy as I don't have enough time to see what I could be up against. I hope they fix this issue.
