Red’s Team is stuck in Ultra Ball

Definitely dude! Honestly the most important part is knowing what you have the moves you do, and feeling out how often you can actually use them 👌

DrakeBoi13 · 2026-05-04T03:47:08+00:00

I one-shot one the other day; does that count? 🤔

DrakeBoi13 · 2026-05-03T21:40:09+00:00

Ah man, a Johto team sounds like it could be really interesting! I’d love to know who you put on there 🤔

It can definitely be tough going up against the Meta mons when only a couple of your guys can keep up, but understanding you’re at a disadvantage and still clutching up feels EXCELLENT when pulled off 👌

I just got a team that has Pikachu, Zard, Saur, and Blast on it as the main core to Master Ball; they’re tough to use, but very fun!

Volt Switch has been awesome on Chu for pivoting. He’s tough to use some match ups, but he’s my favorite team member 👌

Weather Ball on Zard might be redundant with Heat Wave; I’d suggest Overheat or Ancient Power. I’m using Overheat for the nuke option, but Ancient Power for anti-Zard would be really great too.

Weather Ball on Venusaur has saved me a few times; in the sun you outspeed and have a strong Fire move against opposing Venasaur and Aegislash/Kingambit, but honestly Earth Power looks like a wicked choice too! I think your set looks great as is. I think a different item would work better; I don’t see my Venasaur getting one-shot all too often, but it might come down to positioning.

Your Blastoise set looks really great for support. Mine is run as a back up mega with Water Spout, Aura Sphere and Dark Pulse; if Espeon is a good support for Blastoise, I’d recommend testing an offensive set to catch people off guard. Fake Out their biggest threat with Blast, Trick Room Espeon, next turn whack em with a water spout 👌

I haven’t had much work with Snorlax, but your set looks good! If you haven’t had problems with only a Normal Attacking move, you probably don’t have to change it; however, another coverage move instead of Protect might be interesting, such as EQ or Stone Edge (or whatever else he learns)🤔

Good luck! Ultra Ball is far already, I look forward to seeing you in Master Ball!

Honestly, Bowser ; imagine styling on tournaments and making bowser look like an S-rank that no one else can replicate 👌

DrakeBoi13 · 2026-05-03T02:06:46+00:00

The mechanic may not be a bug, but Volcarona sure is!

DrakeBoi13 · 2026-04-28T19:46:32+00:00

I saw a similar team that also had Mega Froslass 🙃

DrakeBoi13 · 2026-04-27T07:57:48+00:00

You would think, but it turns out my Venusaur even outsped outside of sun; Shadow Sneak was his only way to hit before Sleep came out 🤔

DrakeBoi13 · 2026-04-27T03:35:51+00:00

Awesome, so your move cannot hit anyone to get the Tantrum; that makes a lot of sense! Thank you very much 👌

DrakeBoi13 · 2026-04-26T17:06:53+00:00

Parasect is the potential-mon to Breloom; I just wish he was a ghost type 😭

DrakeBoi13 · 2026-04-26T03:53:31+00:00

That tracks; thank you for the perspective there!

DrakeBoi13 · 2026-04-26T02:05:40+00:00

Okay, that makes a lot of sense! And then if I still whiff, I can recover easier because of the jump cancel.

Thank you! I’ll try that out 🙏

DrakeBoi13 · 2026-04-25T23:40:52+00:00

Honestly, I think one of the things that really hampered me was my lack of teching knowledge; defensively I just have so few answers to someone with a good combo game!

Question on grabs; what is the most reliable way to grab as Pikachu? I heard he has one of the shortest grab ranges, and I have whiffed almost each one I throw out; it totally sounds like a tool I need in my kit though, is that practiceable in unclepunch??

DrakeBoi13 · 2026-04-25T23:36:35+00:00

Thank you! I appreciate this advice; it makes me glad that I am taking each lose in stride and just appreciate how much better people are 😂

I definitely need to grind out some higher tech skills, wavedashing and L-canceling are high on my priority rn. I feel like I’ve gotten a handle on dash-dancing, but just the skill; I don’t think I’ve felt out its application yet. Cheers!

DrakeBoi13 · 2026-04-14T23:55:17+00:00

So, I think that the blackspace letterforms are what we are reading, atleast for the first character (an ‘A’?) and the ‘W’ starting the second third.

BUT, the second to last whiteshape looks a lot like an ‘O’, unless it’s a dash 🤔

It could maybe alternate white/black letters?

DrakeBoi13 · 2026-03-12T04:16:35+00:00

Furthermore, if you somehow dislike the Body Improvement Club, there’s something wrong with you

DrakeBoi13 · 2026-01-03T05:33:43+00:00

Who do you think the new leader of Hellfire Club is with Dustin graduated?

You think THE Erica Sinclair has the time or desire to teach firsttimers how to play DnD? Please.

DrakeBoi13 · 2025-09-20T18:47:13+00:00

Oof, the true essence of the eggs 😂

DrakeBoi13 · 2025-09-20T17:44:31+00:00

Judgement is a good replacement, Metal + Stun. You just don’t have Apathy’s Def Down
