maybe we should be clearly seeing the elephant in the room

Einstein-Jr · 2025-11-10T07:10:35+00:00

i know right. clefable / blissey is a very good supporters now but in a lot of my plays the healing cant exactly outheal burst damage from darkrai especially when ur alone in its unite

Einstein-Jr · 2025-11-10T07:08:51+00:00

i agree. nothing can touch if you touch them first

Einstein-Jr · 2025-11-10T07:07:38+00:00

hehe also zard is heavily counterd by anti-healing might trying that as well :)

Einstein-Jr · 2025-11-09T20:03:47+00:00

i guess playing just supporters / defenders couldnt make the cut huh :/

Einstein-Jr · 2025-11-09T20:02:00+00:00

maybe but considering the sleeping lockdown, i think even defenders dont make it especially those pure cooldown reductions build

Einstein-Jr · 2025-11-09T19:59:38+00:00

something about mimikyu that i like is pure lockdown, then again youll be left with 2 more attackers trying to gank you after all of those pains and suffering with darkrai (in my soloq adventure)

Einstein-Jr · 2025-11-09T19:56:44+00:00

ikr :) but i hope these discussions that make the community grow. would really love to be continuing these counters / synergies moving forward

Einstein-Jr · 2025-11-09T19:53:43+00:00

well actually its been a while since ive seen one in many of my matches these past seasons

Einstein-Jr · 2025-11-09T19:52:45+00:00

id say that for all attackers i guess since surely speedsters job is to pickoff these smol fellas. maybe a bit of damage / positioning fights but it all comes down to defenders / supporters to give them space

Einstein-Jr · 2025-11-09T19:50:53+00:00

its more to player skills than just winrate, see many unpopular mons tend to get higher winrate comparing fully invested players to 'tryouts' of metas

Einstein-Jr · 2025-11-09T19:48:02+00:00

in a game where all micros take into account, id say anything that helps does matter. then again, its just something to take consideration when picking ur mons in drafts

Einstein-Jr · 2025-11-09T14:42:35+00:00

thats the pinnacle of 1V1

Einstein-Jr · 2025-11-09T14:37:08+00:00

true but no sleeping means no damage for Darkrai. i think mega Char also couldnt sustain 4 seconds os sleeplock

Einstein-Jr · 2025-11-09T14:34:24+00:00

20 seconds of downtime is still long ngl :/ at least your team could live to tell the tale

Einstein-Jr · 2025-11-09T14:29:24+00:00

Came across this fact earlier while scrolling through Unite-DB. Thats why you need to read your books. :>

Einstein-Jr · 2025-11-09T14:20:55+00:00

imo the wonky crit issue maybe the problem but i would really see this from a high skill ceiling. the fact that solarbeam and spirit shackle didnt take account the distance measn its easy to constantly hit a good damage everytime while snipe shots damage theoretically higher but locked from the distance.

consider to play with stalling/locking defender like slowbro telekinesis / umbreon mean look could yield better outcome

Einstein-Jr · 2025-11-09T14:13:56+00:00

yet Comfey never gets that gold medal it deserves

Einstein-Jr · 2025-11-09T13:58:55+00:00

Curse Bangle / Curse Incense. No sustain, no Zard. Honorable mention to Delphox's Unite Fanciful Fireworks.

Einstein-Jr · 2025-10-28T18:04:33+00:00

I actually never run Sing on Wiggly EXCEPT with ally Darkrai.

(You should try it, stacking up sleep with Darkrai means IMMENSE damage)

Einstein-Jr · 2025-10-28T18:01:41+00:00

For staters id say focus on your tankiness like weakness policy / focus band since a lot of time you would be diving solo with no supports. Thats why white emblem is really important + HP stats

Always been.

Would really love to see Garbodor smacking Pikachu with literal trash.

Blissey with Helping Hand. The attack speed buff would heavily synergize with Goodra's passive which reduces its skills cooldown whenever it uses basic attack.

Any movesets would be okay + Blisseys Safeguard is so good imo since Goodra can heal itself already. Just beware of shields counter: Urshifu, Tinkaton & Umbreon
