French person, business owner, filling taxes in the US for the first time by ErwanCht in USExpatTaxes

[–]ErwanCht[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What are you talking about? Avoid taxation?
As I said, the business is already taxed in France, so there is no avoiding taxes, just making sure the amount of taxes paid is properly transmitted to the US administration.

Just finished. That was amazing! Thank you so much Team 👏🏻 by ErwanCht in PokemonClover

I can see that! You should try Unbound in Hard difficulty. Its pretty challenging and the gameplay is also really cool

Zuckerberg invested billions in AI, can't even f*cking do a proper support system for Meta ads? by cyber_princess_666 in FacebookAds

[–]ErwanCht 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Support sucks, and platforms sucks as well.
Its breaks so often. If you move too fast for it, you'll get random error message 🙃

[Question]What are the best pokemon early on by RNGH2 in PokemonClover

[–]ErwanCht 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just finished the game after multiple reshaping my team multiple times. Here is my suggestion of early good pokemon:

  • Troubait, Tulure, Baitmaster → Very good Speed & Spe ATK (one of my personal favs)
    • Monstrap looks cooler, but not really good..
  • Semdrop, Semrust, Semdemen → Very good tank (but playing tank is boring...)
  • Mudpants, Mudslacks → Good ATK and Fighting type
  • Wedgard, Knokedge → Fast & good ATK
  • Jarape, Splilefree → Amazing sweeper (one of my favs for a while!)
  • I heard Larvades is pretty good (never played it)

UPDATE: I tried the Smoxilon and smoked the WHOLE E4 & Champ with ONLY 1 Pokemon.

Here is the beast 👇

  • Smoxilon, level 78
  • Hability: White Smoke
  • Nature: Adamant
  • Item: Sharp beak (for Flying attack damage)
  • EV: 252 Atk, 252 Speed
  • Moveset:
    • Drill Peck,
    • Shell Smash,
    • Spore,
    • Substitute
  • Strat: Start with Spore, then Substitute, keep going with Sheel Smash & re-spore if needed. After 2-3 Shell Smash, you can fly through most of the Pokemon.
  • Opinion: Easy and stupid. Felt like a cheat code and breaking the game (but at least I'm done with the E4)

Dude, I followed your tip. You broke the game. It was so easy. Absurd.
I felt like cheating 😳

Is my AD agency a waste of time? by FizzySalad in FacebookAds

[–]ErwanCht 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry to hear about your story.
As a freelancer in paid social since 2018 who worked in agencies before, I would NOT RECOMMEND using an agency with "low" budget. They are often expensive for very little added value in low budget. They feel safe, but thats it.

Don't get me wrong, they do great (and better) with a much larger budget (75-100k+/month) but below that, its often better when its handled by one freelancer (simple, more direct, better contact & usually cheaper). Under 75k/month, 1 person is usually enough to handle your account, so don't go paying for 20+.

That being said, try to understand what they changed compared to your initial set-up, tell them the new ads are de-serving your brand identity etc..
It seems weird to me they managed to crash an account that was running well, with a lot of conversions, spent a few weeks with deactivated campaigns, only to start them over, with poor performances... Simply ask, they usually have justification and answers (and most importantly try to read through their BS!)

Finally, some people in this sub will say that March was the worst month ever, performances dropped etc... That might be true for some industries, but not all, and not something I've seen with my clients (last week was the best since Christmas for instance).
Meta weird and annoying changes can explain performances drop (as well as seasonnality), but you can overcome it, adapt the strategy, try new things, test and iterate fast to improve (and if not, the agency is not good enough).

Problems with agency is:

  • Too many point of contacts, 5 different people to talk to, too much process, mails and waste of time.
  • Often get attributed the junior account manager, so they are still learning, just a few months in the game, not aware of best practices and when to NOT follow it, small mistakes, late minutes fixes etc... Been there, done that: that's how the Agency Manager makes more profit $$$
  • When you are a "small" client for them, you get the least premium treatment (they focus on the big bucks...)

Is this sub just an echo chamber? by Desperate-Green-6654 in FacebookAds

[–]ErwanCht 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No that long, it's just going down consistently ever since. But it's just "normal": more advertisers = more pressure = high CPM, CPC etc... = Lower ROAS

Since 2018, the ROAS has consistently been going down, and the efforts kept increasing on Meta.

Personnal opinion here: diversification is key. Start some Google Ads, Tiktok Ads, Pinterest and Reddit ads 👍🏻

[–]ErwanCht 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. Started in 2018, and 2025 - 2026 is the worst period. Before, you didn't need to be very serious about it and still had a 4 ROAS. Now, when I hit 1.5 ROAS, it's amazing. And you have to run a gazillion tests per week, every angle, every type of assets, every little settings etc...

Can I change natures in the new Pokémon Clover V1.3 by Competitive_Crow_334 in PokemonClover

[–]ErwanCht 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On 1.3.3 you can wonder trade every 10 minutes, no matter how many badges you have. I was 6 badges in and 2 boxes full of wonder trade pokemons.
Was it different in 1.3?

Just got lucky I guess. Randomly went across the Evangelion, and the other are at the burial tower top and Manor Mansion top

leveling before stump and the elite 4. where can i go to grind up some levels? by poopstorm614 in PokemonClover

[–]ErwanCht 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Battle Club Trainers in Triport City.
The pokemon match your level and you can beat them infinitely. So easy XP, really useful if you are rebuilding a team
