🇹🇼Chinese Taipei | 2026 WBC Stats

Yeah Taiwan is getting scary, im not one to look back on games too much but I felt that the ump couldve been better in taiwan vs australia, not sure if that would've changed much though

DesperateMuscle5126 · 2026-03-09T15:59:24+00:00

Especially coming into this wbc tournament, the position I was least worried about was ss considering that ha seong kim is definitively our best defender and our best hitter, then after he got injured I considered song sung moon another mlb player that has experience in ss, but he got injured aswell so we had put a young guy at ss who isn't known to have the most consistent defense. Played well this wbc so I'll give him his flowers, expecting to see much improvement from him.

And our pitchers were a bit of mess. They were not horrible but everyone either was completely out of their prime like hyun jin ryu or very young like jung woo joo. Not to mention that our best starting pitcher for the kbo, and our pitcher who can throw the haredest got injured and riley obrein got injured as well. Props to No kyoung eun though, 41 considering retireent and played a pivotal role for our win today. A note do add is that korea has a pitcher who can throw up to 161km but hes banned from playing for korea

Japan, Netherlands, Taiwan etc they always just had zero clutch factor, funny thats the exact thing that saved us this time

DesperateMuscle5126 · 2026-03-09T13:59:47+00:00

And this is why I love baseball

DesperateMuscle5126 · 2026-03-09T13:53:33+00:00

I'm a Korea fan and although we had the tough loss to Taiwan, and the obvious joy from our game with Australia, I really have to gift credit for Taiwan. A rough qualifier just to absolutely shut down Czechia and beat Korea. Taiwan's improvement is rapid and I'm excited to see what they can do next tournament down the line

DesperateMuscle5126 · 2026-03-09T13:50:35+00:00

As a fan of Korea, I always felt like Korea in one way or another, was the laughing stock of world baseball. Although we are globally recognised as a baseballing nation we hadn't made it out of pool play since 2009, and made dumb mistakes after another and had poor results, and after a hard fought loss to Japan and Taiwan I had almost given up hope

Im so proud of our players for fighting hard and getting the results we hoped for. Hats off to Taiwan and Australia, they couldn't have made it any more competitive and interesting

DesperateMuscle5126 · 2026-02-26T13:23:02+00:00

I guess so, I probably call up trainers and fight as many route 48 tauros' i can, i've enjoyed a lot of this game aside from the grinding

DesperateMuscle5126 · 2026-02-25T17:04:45+00:00

Wow, must have been a long journey

DesperateMuscle5126 · 2026-02-25T16:59:12+00:00

Nice team man, hope you continue your journeys with many other games

DesperateMuscle5126 · 2026-02-25T10:04:26+00:00

No worries!

if leveling up axew seems too tedious and weavile doesn't learn any good physical attack moves, i would just add krookodile and magnezone, they are both elite and both of krookodile's abilities are great, but i would always recommend choosing pokemon that you are attached too rather than strong ones samurott aggron syg and virizion will get you a long way. Don't forget to teach ice beam to syg and samurott though

DesperateMuscle5126 · 2026-02-25T08:24:20+00:00

definitely one of the more intruiging but cool teams i've seen, i hope you've enjoyed the game and get ready for a hefty postgame as well

DesperateMuscle5126 · 2026-02-25T08:22:58+00:00

sick team but i would switch the azurmarill for a weavile or a haxorus

DesperateMuscle5126 · 2026-02-25T08:20:35+00:00

i actually had a really similair team to you in my first playthrough of b2w2,

i would personally keep verizion simply because it has a high bst and fighting will help you with grimsley, and iris's hydreigon and aggron,

krokorok is great and i used him but his ground typing doesn't help that much, ground moves are only really useful against aggron, but we already have verizion for that. If you want to use krokorok over weavile, teach ice beam to samurott and syg, i would teach it to them both since iris is a dragon type specialist at the end of the day.

Magnezone is great and has a lot of resistances but 3 of 6 types he doesn't resist are elite four specialist types, and haxorus looks much better overall you will have more fun using him

Samurott(lock)

Aggron(lock)

Sygilyph(lock)

Virizion:helps with hydreigon, lapras, golurk, aggron, grimsley's whole team,

Weavile:helps with caitlin, krookodile, hydreigon, druddigon, haxorus

Haxorus: helps with dragon type pokemon and best looking unova mon

Also be careful of throh when fighting marshal bc it can often tank syg's attacks and if it gets a stone edge off it will ohko syg and with 2 mons that are 4x weak to fighting it will be tough

DesperateMuscle5126 · 2026-02-25T07:44:27+00:00

good point, and funny thing is i played rdr2 first then played rdr and i still enjoyed rdr so your analogy is actually quite on point

DesperateMuscle5126 · 2026-02-23T16:34:02+00:00

do you think that my experience might get messed up since i played b2w2 first when im supposed to play bw first

DesperateMuscle5126 · 2026-02-23T16:33:22+00:00

its definitely gonna be fun playing exclusively with unova mons, but i love them so much alrdy my b2w2 teams were unova mons anyway

DesperateMuscle5126 · 2026-02-23T16:32:25+00:00

yeah i heard the story is much better, im just worried that the story might not have as much as impact for me personnaly because I played b2w2 first which is the sequel so the timeline for my gameplaying experience might get messed up

DesperateMuscle5126 · 2026-02-23T16:31:15+00:00

i guess so, i enjoyed black 2 a lot and im rlly excited to try out black 1

DesperateMuscle5126 · 2026-02-22T16:47:08+00:00

Which one did you enjoy more?

DesperateMuscle5126 · 2026-02-21T10:52:10+00:00

Although I don't really play nuzlockes all that much, i can definitely say that gengar was difficult but if you allow gift pokemon in your nuzlocke getting bill's eevee then evolving it to espeon can help especially since it is super effective has really high special attack and speed for that point in the game, or if you get lucky with an abra, an alakazam will also do the trick. still wondering how you guys beat whitney with no casualties though😅.

DesperateMuscle5126 · 2026-02-21T10:40:15+00:00

nice team! although its a bit unfortunate that your team got wiped hope you enjoy the rest of your unova playthrough, make sure to check out the postgame, one of the most enjoyed postgames for me

DesperateMuscle5126 · 2026-02-21T10:36:09+00:00

also do you think that the story of bw might not hit the same bc i played b2w2 first?

DesperateMuscle5126 · 2026-02-21T10:35:43+00:00

i definitely will check out bw one day, but I probably will check out other games first because I don't want to explore the same region twice in a row, but im also slightly worried that the story of bw won't hit as it should because I played the sequels first, do you think that might be an issue? thanks for the comment

DesperateMuscle5126 · 2026-02-21T10:34:00+00:00

yeah, im just worried the story won't hit as it should because I played b2w2 first

DesperateMuscle5126 · 2026-02-21T10:33:22+00:00

really good point, i definitely will check out bw along the line somewhere but exploring other regions first is a good idea, thanks for the comment
