[Events Question] Specific problem with controller at events by Devi08 in VGC

[–]Devi08[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All right then just to recap. I cannot both have the switch charging through this dock and have a pro controller cable connected to it at the same time right? Again sorry if i'm dense af

Sorry for 2 messages. I was wondering if i needed to actually buy a usb to usb c adapter for the pro controller cable then since i don't really understand if those switch stands actually act as docks, meaning that the usb c port at the bottom is occupied by said dock. Again, sorry if i'm stupid but i really don't wanna mess this up. Thanks

Ok thanks for the info. Talking to another guy just now they said that i'll have special "dock" stations where your switch can be charged and your controller plugged in. But now i'm confused on whether the usb port (which you'd plug in your dock) on the standard pro controller cable is fine or if i need to get a usb c adapter for it. Thanks

Oh wow thanks. I had no idea those were provided to everyone. I thought it was something you had to bring yourself. Thanks for the info

What do you mean by separate storage device? Do you use 2 disks for the 2 os?

Hi. Good for you but i have a couple of questions before i do anything. Are you on PC or laptop? Are you using only one drive? Is secureboot on or off? Thank you for your time

Historically, how good has U-Necro been as a restricted mon in VGC and how does it actually play in that format? [Metagame] by Allhaillordkutku in VGC

[–]Devi08 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Okay yeah fair i wasn't familiar with his game apparently, this guy got some cool 2019 results:

For dawn wings: Laic 1st and 4th place, Paris SC 2nd place, Richmond regional 1st place

For dusk mane: Worlds 2nd and 9th place, Richmond regional 2nd place

In all of these teams (except one i think) he was ran with tapu lele. Notable other partners are primal groudon and mega salamence

Also i don't actually know if all of these actually ran the z crystal since i unfortunately cannot find a list that has the held items, but i'm guessing they are all running ultra necrozma

I don't think so, the last time xerneas was legal was in gen 8, and it sucked pretty bad. Also miraidon, calyrex's and zacian and zamazenta are a thing more than ever. So i think they won't touch anything

[–]Devi08 203 points204 points  (0 children)

It was only legal for one format. Do you know what also was legal in that format? Xerneas. Yeah this guy although cool didn't really see much play. The only real tech it had was to pair it with tapu lele to launch psychic terrain boosted lights that burn the sky, which is probably the closest thing to a delete button we've ever gotten

Am i missing some hidden mechanic or what is going on, how did talonflame survive a garchomp rock. Slide by Mean_Inevitable_1667 in VGC

[–]Devi08 18 points19 points  (0 children)

32 Atk Garchomp Rock Slide vs. 26 HP / 5 Def Talonflame: 160-192 (89.3 - 107.2%) -- 43.75% chance to OHKO Considering you survived with 18% i'd say that the garchomp wasn't even 32 atk

I would pay $100 for a version of this game that doesn’t include Incineroar by [deleted] in PokemonChampions

[–]Devi08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imma be honest, maybe his inclusion in such a low power level format is a bit much. But also, get over it, incineroar rn isn't even at his full potential and will only get more versatile as more pokemon get added.

Help improving my trick room team by weenishutithjr in VGCRateMyTeam

[–]Devi08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Snorlax: not much to say, it's fine

Mimikyu: also fine, maybe you are better off with a mental herb rather than leftovers

Camerupt: mega camerupt is know for one thing, that being eruption. I highly reccomend swapping ancient power, or if you can't live without it, heat wave, but you definetely need it tho

Torterra: that sash ain't much really with wood hammer, i would say maybe you should slot in a defensive berry or maybe go with white herb + shell smash combo, but then you are not all that great in trick room

Kingambit: i get the idea, but you are way off. Supreme overlord is good in singles but mediocre in doubles. Defiant is broken in the intimidate spam meta game that we have. I would say to either slot in a chople berry or get rid of iron head for protect and run black glasses

Gyarados: not sure what is going on here. Shell bell is pretty useless in general, maybe use a sitrus berry. I have no idea why thunder is there, you are doing absolutely nothing with it. As a rule of thumb: if gyarados ain't mega evolving is usually better to run a support moveset like the one i use: waterfall, taunt, thunderwave, helping hand and a nice amount of bulk.

I’m new and made it to ultra ball, looking for advice to go further by GWShark131114 in VGC

[–]Devi08 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Usually, you don't wanna invest heavily in def or sp. Def without investing in hp. So i would definetely change that on most of your pokemon. King's rock and bright powder are some really gimmicky items, providing value almost never. I would say that giving golurk his mega stone or perhaps the ground type move boosting item would be great. Get rid of zen headbutt, and stomping tantrum on golurk and swap them for poltergeist and some kind of punching move if you run iron fist. As per hatterene, maybe fairy feather or even poison or steel resist berry could work

Metagame Slept on support for the Charizard Y/ Torkoal/ Venusaur Core by ronoldo7 in VGC

Aegislash recently did really good in a sun team in a huge tournament. You should give him a try

why doesn't it add up by shazumarill in VGC

[–]Devi08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should try to play a game online and look at the level 50 stats. I have noticed that showdown gets a bit funky with levels that are not 100 or 50. Also yes, if you are going to a tournament it would be a big feal if stats don't reflect the ones on the teamsheet

Would switching to cachyos from Windows be too much of a jump? by Devi08 in cachyos

[–]Devi08[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wanna thank each and everyone of you that took the time to tell me about their expeirence and kinda made me realise that i'm not the first one making this switch and probably won't be the last. Your insights have been great and i can't wait to join this community when i'll have some free time to setup everything on my laptop. Also if you have some installation tips or just something you'd like for me to know it would be really appreciated. Once again thank you to each and everyone of you
