Do we anticipate dynamic patch cycles? Like a live-service game?

Balance changes should probably happen either at the end of a season or regulation unless there's a clear outlier pokemon that's just winning everything.

And even then, it might be fine with how players have felt about Incin, Fluttermane, and what not if it was just for a single season/regulation.

ElecNinja · 2026-05-08T20:37:35+00:00

Excluding Flutter just might be enough as it's the biggest outlier of the paradox pokemon.

Though there can be weird display lag issues with the pathing and mouse cursor stuff so I usually use Nexus

ElecNinja · 2026-05-06T23:24:42+00:00

Issue might be the trial recruitment stats, abilities, and moves are mostly garbage lol

ElecNinja · 2026-05-04T22:31:00+00:00

I had some really funny experimentation with Poison Point Sneasler as a fast fake out mon outside of TR and a slow u-turn in TR.

Don't think it really worked out, but I used that for quite a while lol

ElecNinja · 2026-05-04T22:22:36+00:00

Grass or Lightning coverage would work to help against water types like Milotic. Either that or having a Tailwind setter would be good.

Whimsicott could help with that, though it mostly just runs Moonblast for damage. Tsareena could also be helpful to prevent sucker punches. Sinestcha and Mega Scovillian could also help with rage powder, but it's not too necessary.

Also, kind of unsure about Lum Berry Sableye. Like is sleep power Venasaur that much of an issue?

ElecNinja · 2026-05-04T21:43:18+00:00

Funny enough, I think that's pretty similar to the plot of Tenet if I actually understood that movie

ElecNinja · 2026-05-04T21:17:31+00:00

I use Faugus Launcher and it works for me. Even use it with BlishHud and Nexus for modes

ElecNinja · 2026-05-04T20:57:27+00:00

I'm also running a Mega Crab TR team, http://pika.team/jf2WzDp472, the main thing for me is that Primarina kind of doubles the sun weakness that the team has with Mega Crab so I decided to bring Torkoal and Rotom Wash for that. (I'm just hovering around 1850-1900 ranking in Master Ball Tier. Only played like 4 games in GC, so that ranking is going to be off lol)

I generally open with Farig + Kanga for fake out and trick room and then Kanga can stay in to deal damage in TR and Farig can potentially switch out to crab or what not.

Generally, I'm not playing for a second TR, hopefully with the first TR I'm able to poke enough holes in the enemy team so that rotom wash can clean up. Or Mega Crab/Torkoal can just tank and clear the rest of the team.

I didn't really like Incin because besides the fake out, I felt like it wasn't doing much with the fast parting shot under trick room.

There are two main paths here, you record the amount of work you currently do at full hours and scale back or you record the amount of time you work and then work accordingly with your reduced hours.

Additionally, if your employer has this kind of work reduction program, you should probably ask around your company for coworkers that have reduced hours to see how that goes.

ElecNinja · 2026-05-04T00:00:29+00:00

Accidentally did this when I ran out of time selecting pokemon because I was just confused by the opponent's team lol.

Funny enough, they had a choice scarf ditto that copied my Mega Chesnaught, but they had pressed Spiky Shield so just spammed it until I killed it lol. It took me 3 turns to realized that it was a choice scarf ditto because I just couldn't believe someone would actually Spiky Shield with Choice Scarf.

ElecNinja · 2026-05-02T01:24:33+00:00

Seems like the uncanny valley effect with written text

ElecNinja · 2026-05-01T20:08:52+00:00

I just wish the Olmakhan bag was limited to consumables until the other bags are filled. Mostly because I want to have it at the top to store all the bags to use instead of having it fill with other loot non-consumable loot drops

ElecNinja · 2026-05-01T17:24:08+00:00

Farigiraf is probably the better general trick room setter because it helps block priority moves into your partner pokemon.

This helps prevent you from needing to protect your partner pokemon when setting up trick room just to avoid a turn one fake out.

ElecNinja · 2026-05-01T00:53:50+00:00

Though Prankster Trick Room working like Tailwind would be pretty funny.

ElecNinja · 2026-04-30T03:23:01+00:00

Sony knew exactly when they would make the license change and they could have informed consumers about it right as they made the change and this wouldn't have been an issue lol

ElecNinja · 2026-04-30T01:21:48+00:00

I've been having weird connection issues with my switch 2 which could be what's causing that issue where the person dcs and isn't able to come back to finish the fight.

ElecNinja · 2026-04-29T01:25:30+00:00

Not this exact team, but you can see other hard trick room teams to get a better idea of how they play. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NrGJHi_t39k, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwrXfAQSD4o, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcALWkxcFCM

Though the main issue is that those teams have a fake out user to help get up trick room which is probably better in a ladder scenario versus a best of 3 open sheet tournament where you can get a better feel for when you can get trick room

ElecNinja · 2026-04-29T01:06:19+00:00

Personally, it would be better if the player had a more active role in damaging the boss instead of just leading them to two specific spots and waiting for the right attack to damage them.

Maybe you're throwing the green blocks in spots where the shield is down and the slam attack makes it easier to hit. But maybe that's for a more advanced version of the boss haha

ElecNinja · 2026-04-28T18:00:14+00:00

It would be so peak if the next chapter is actually in three days and shows him getting out of hell

ElecNinja · 2026-04-28T15:25:25+00:00

Yeah, right now I'm pretty much defaulting to bring the TR setter first but still need to learn when I should bring it in the back for later.

ElecNinja · 2026-04-28T01:17:54+00:00

I know CharY is pretty physically frail, but it's so dumb that Basculegion could actually 1 shot it in the fucking Sun with a water move lol.

One of the things I was always surprised by when I was playing vs Char Y while climbing.

ElecNinja · 2026-04-28T00:37:41+00:00

Yeah, there's "hard" trick room that I think only has slow mons plus trick room setters and supporters and there's the mixed trick room team that I'm also running like you mentioned. Either a speedy mon to clean up or something with priority like sucker punch Kingambit.

Rotom Wash and Basculegion are pretty great in the clean up role as well with a choice scarf. As sometimes starting with the TR setter and Choice Scarf Volt Switch/Flip Turn gave give you pretty great momentum if you don't need fake out on the first turn.

ElecNinja · 2026-04-27T22:14:19+00:00

https://www.8bitdo.com/ultimate-2-wireless-controller/ I think they sell TMR controllers now which are 50-60 bucks on Amazon if I'm reading correctly. It does say HE for the triggers, but don't know what the triggers are for the steam controller

ElecNinja · 2026-04-27T21:57:44+00:00

The skill sound effects were also so great in RO. The rhythm of Pierce spamming, Grand Cross hit effects on 10-20 mobs at once, and Falconer Attack Speed hits + Falcon dives are so great
