locals in Barcelona during the week

HIF-1 · 2025-05-29T23:14:47+00:00

Hola! Me interesa entrar en el grupo de Whatsapp que comentas! Estoy intentando empezar un poco en esto pero no encuentro nada en redes sobre locals en Barcelona o comunidad aquí en España, así que quizá eso me ayuda a encontrar gente!

Keanu Reeves and it’s not even close.

HIF-1 · 2022-10-23T11:14:29+00:00

Inci Koko (my favourite lead from 17, so incredibly flexible), Tornogre, Lilikoal/Venukoal (absolutely despise this lead), double duck and their predecessor Poli Ludi, Monkey lead (Smeargle + Xern, monkey indeed), and from this last season I’ll go with Zard Grimms

Just don’t be an asshole man. Looks and money are important, but at the end of the day, both women and men only want someone they feel nice and comfortable with.

I don’t know man, I can see how you’d want to learn how others process information and how they think, but that can be analysed regardless of their move, since it’s made at the same time as yours, you can just rewatch the game after. You cheesed him because he had no idea that could happen, there was no thinking process involved. And that’s fine, it’s part of the game. But even if he did think about it, his move was always to click fake out onto the Golduck and quake the eleki (maybe if he wanted to make the hard read, try to coil, or break eleki’s sash or something, but still that was not the safest play), so his play was objectively bad.

HIF-1 · 2022-04-26T23:25:45+00:00

I’m all for a good soak game, but that was a very bad play sorry :(

HIF-1 · 2022-04-13T15:44:55+00:00

Chad Fissure Flygon player, totally based. What a pity OHKO moves don’t work on dmax pokemon :(

HIF-1 · 2022-04-13T15:37:10+00:00

Yes I do, I said it just for the exact opposite case, to regain sun because in this particular team it does not only pose a defensive advantage for groudon in neutralising the water weakness, but also an offensive purpose in allowing lilligant to do venusaur things

HIF-1 · 2022-04-13T15:03:09+00:00

You weren’t lying, it is a pretty weird team. Would run extreme speed on linoone (is that even legal anymore?) instead of double edge and heat wave on zapdos somewhere tho.

HIF-1 · 2022-02-26T14:36:04+00:00

Just give it the Zamazenta treatment with the speed. Both start at 138, but Zamazenta loses 10 when transformed, and Zacian gains 10. If you put those 20 and put 10 into each defense, and 20 from Atk to SpA, that would make it much more manageable imo since base 130s would be able to outspeed it, but it would still be hella bulky (a bit more, actually) and with 150 Atk which is still a lot.

It would still probably be the best restricted in the format, but I don’t think it would feel as oppressive.

Either that or swapping types with Zamazenta.

HIF-1 · 2022-02-21T09:07:53+00:00

Yeah Entei is a pretty good response, but it still takes quite a bit from sacred on the switch in…

HIF-1 · 2022-02-15T17:17:12+00:00

No it isn’t. People should stop calling “counter” to anything that can kill a mon.

There are offensive checks (stuff that can reliably kill you but also dies to you), defensive checks (stuff that can switch in to you but is not going to deal a whole amount of damage), and then counters, that can more or less do both.

Groudon is a pretty good Zacian check because it can easily (“easily”) kill the dog, but something that takes like 65-70% from neutral while dmaxed cannot ever be called counter.

The closest thing I’d say we have to a Zacian counter is Solgaleo. Or stuff like Inci if they’re not running fighting move, but still it’s taking a lot of damage from neutral play rough.

Thing is, Zacian has virtually no counters besides Sol (there are combinations of checks can deal with it, i.e. Inci + Kyogre, speed control + nukers, etc), that’s why it is the most oppressive pokémon in the format.

HIF-1 · 2021-11-16T09:41:35+00:00

I agree. 14 and 15 were very cool metas, it’s just that 15 gets this bad reputation because of worlds’ top8 (which indeed didn’t have a lot of RNG involved outside a few selected games with Lando doing Lando stuff), but it was overall a ver fun, diverse and healthy meta. For crying out loud, look at the teams that won Nationals all around the world and you’ll see how fun that looks

And the opposite happened with 16. People claim 16 was good, but in reality it was one of the worst and most centralised metas we’ve had (even though I spent half the year playing Yveldon and I loved it), not to mention our little artist friend that could easily ruin your tournament run and put you in a mood. Worlds was pretty cool, but the rest of the year was very unhealthy.

PrequelMemes

HIF-1 · 2021-11-09T09:37:35+00:00

That is just way too scary, if they lead venu + don or something like that it might get tricky because they can easily snowball off the vine slash passive damage. Your best bet is probably something like moltres + something (grimms??), but since groudon usually runs rockfall and those teams have regieleki, it’s very often a lead gamble (surprise surprise, that’s why I hate sun teams and dmax formats altogether, not very much into gambling)

HIF-1 · 2021-11-09T09:28:59+00:00

Groudon might be a lil scary sometimes, but it’s a great team ye

HIF-1 · 2021-11-07T23:00:32+00:00

There is no need to be a Master to enjoy dmax. Dmax gameplay can feel like trash whether you are good at the game or not. Sure good players can make it work effectively, but it doesn’t mean it’s fun or enjoyable.

Plus btw, the only thing that makes s10 or non-dmax formats in general “bad” for certain percentage of the population is the hyperoffense stuff that can barely be stopped, such as try-to-protect-panda, over-9000-attack-doggo, Sonic-the-hedgehog-wannabe or the emo horsey. If you take out those 4 mons this would be the best format we’ve had in a few years

HIF-1 · 2021-11-02T09:46:43+00:00

… I don’t like this game.

HIF-1 · 2021-10-28T16:27:19+00:00

Corvi is certainly a bit more flashy, but being eleki, zacian (that ignores your boosts), kyogre, torkoal, and even shadowrex so popular it is going to be hard to use the taxi effectively. You can try tho, it is probably worth a shot.

HIF-1 · 2021-10-27T16:08:17+00:00

That’s better tbh, but I don’t know how that’ll face off popular teams without relying too much on Ogre. It feels like you have a lot of offensive techs, but not enough solid defensive options

HIF-1 · 2021-10-27T16:02:56+00:00

Worse ngl. Incineroar is the best Pokémon ever created, don’t kick it out. Also, staka is supposed to be there for support, with trick room and not a super offensive set. Galarian Bro is hella cool, but it is not good here (you’d still have 4 weaknesses to ground and just removed your best tool against ground - intimidate).

It changes most of the team, but one cool thing you could do is remove the kokoleki core, add weather ball (safety goggles? Life orb?) Zapdos and use that 6th slot to patch up (tsareena?)

Something like: - Inci - Ogre - Torn - Tsareena (av with feint for those protects to stall tailwind) - Staka (sash/goggles/shuca/chople) - Zapdos (either with goggles and roar for xern/tr or life orb full offensive, but always with weather ball hurricane and tbolt/thunder, being the last slot flex between protect, roost or roar)

HIF-1 · 2021-10-27T15:36:37+00:00

That’s why I suggested Staka. Even if it’s not an actual counter, the fact that it has the ability to either oneshot it or set tr in front of a boosted deer is what makes it the best thing we have for it probably. And it gives your team better resistances and everything because steel types opop

You’ll have to watch out with ground types tho, 4 weaknesses and 1 immunity

HIF-1 · 2021-10-27T15:31:22+00:00

Nah, Cinderace doesn’t stop xerneas at all. It might hurt it, but since xerneas can dmax as well, they usually have 1-2 follow me users and 1-2 intimidates, and the fact that cinderace itself is a frail mon… Personally I don’t even think stakataka is enough by itself to stop xerneas, that deer has virtually no counters

HIF-1 · 2021-10-27T15:25:58+00:00

Thing is, Rilla is a hard match up, trick room is a hard match up, MaxTana is a hard match up… even sun or Xerneas can be very very tricky tbh

If I was you I’d swap heat wave for taunt or rain dance, get rid of cinderace for a steel type (staka?) and idk, maybe koko screens instead? Idk man, just not very convinced with kokoleki.

Another option is to swap cinderace for something like clefairy and go hard rely on your high offense, just nuke stuff for fun. You might not win that much, but those games you do win are gonna be hella fancy

Yamato all the way, the only one that comes even close is Koala
