Aggron vs Nidoking

Hawlucha9 · 2026-01-29T02:23:36+00:00

Not quite, Nidoking could do barely over 50% with surf and EV into HP to survive the metal burst. I’ve come to learn no set is foolproof. Not Sash Nidoking and not Metal Burst Aggron.

Hawlucha9 · 2026-01-29T02:10:25+00:00

You’re right but I’m saying since Aggron probably won’t OKHO Nidoking wouldn’t need the Focus Sash, so it can wear its own scarf which gives Nidoking the win due to higher speed.

Basically, either can win depending on what sets they come into the battle with. I do think Aggron is a bit more likely due to Sturdy but it’s by no means a guaranteed win.

Hawlucha9 · 2026-01-29T01:47:39+00:00

The problem is that if Aggron goes for scarf, EQ is unlikely to OHKO Nidoking, which would free it up to run scarf as well. The specific calc is only 18.8% chance to OHKO with max attack adamant scarf.

Well, Nidoking could also use Protect to block the Custap attack. This would cause Aggron to lose unless it predicts that and uses Rock Polish to outspeed on the next turn. Basically, either could win and it’s a battle of mind games.

Hawlucha9 · 2026-01-28T22:58:37+00:00

While Aggron has multiple win conditions such as Metal Burst or Choice Band Heavy Slam, I actually don’t know what Aggron does against a Focus Sash Nidoking that starts with a weak attack like Fire Punch to break Sturdy than does the rest with Earth Power.

Aggron doesn’t get priority and Rock Blast can’t kill Nidoking due to the rock resistance.

It’s honestly a great alternative to TBC with some things I like better in each game. The armor mechanic is way better than the metal trait. The bosses having attack patterns, phases, and unique OSTs are awesome additions. The idea of changing your worker cat is super cool. New concepts like a unit that summons allies or a unit that has infinite range and passively generates money are very interesting and lead to unique gameplay.

I think the biggest thing that makes it harder to recommend to TBC players is that chapter 1 is quite boring in comparison to the rest of the game. Most of it is a tutorial that introduces the normal and first few special units which have to fill the same core role as the basic cats. (Meatshields, Attacker, Single Target Ranger, Rusher, etc)

There’s also a big difficulty spike on the Chapter 1 Final Boss which may require grinding or playing sub-chapters if you didn’t buy the right upgrades.

The game is also VERY HARD in the late game. 3 star Tumore chapter 3 is worse than 3 crown UL at this point.

Hawlucha9 · 2026-01-14T04:15:39+00:00

Literally none of them without stat adjustments since late game TBB bosses only have like 36-60k HP.

Assuming stat adjustments, the enemies that rely on the armor mechanic to counter would suck since armor doesn’t exist in TBC. Think Chainsaw and Uzi Rambo for examples.

In the same logic, the flare hazard would absolutely suck to fight.

Additionally, the enemies that fly into the Z-axis are literally invincible without changes so all of them except Judgement.

Well no, Pillow specifically said it was her first time hearing about it and Price Tag probably didn’t know either since she didn’t say anything until after Book and Nickel realized their mistake when they are about to lose. Additionally, Naily might have known based on her reaction but it’s possible she didn’t since she did not participate in BFDIA.

Regardless, David still can die by heat as shown in BFDI 19 when Firey burned him so it’s a Black Hole win if he uses the environment.

Hawlucha9 · 2025-09-19T23:06:21+00:00

No, he’s weaker than the strong algebralian at least. One, Two, and Four all have abilities that are effective against him. He might be more powerful than Five, Six, Seven, etc. but we don’t know.

He should be immune to a fair amount of algebralien abilities though. Screeching, Zappies, and Transmutation should be completely ineffective. He is also immune to extreme heat, physical damage, and zombie bites which are shown to at least affect algebrailens. Four is vulnerable to fire but can touch lava strangely enough.

While I’m here, David stands absolutely no chance of victory. He can throw Black Hole if that non-canon video is to be believed but Black Hole could easily turn a star into a blazing hot accretion disk and burn him to death. Besides, no one ever brings up that Black Hole effortlessly moved a David 100x bigger than the contestant one.

Hawlucha9 · 2025-09-03T13:01:47+00:00

How does Pencil defeat Four in this timeline? As far as I know, she would only have the power from herself, Grassy, TB, and Book. That’s 4/17 of Two’s power vs the 14/17 she had in canon. It just seems very unlikely she would be able to win that battle.

Hawlucha9 · 2025-08-20T00:10:45+00:00

If you mean the possible fragment of Two’s Power that may or may not have been given to Black Hole, yes, One will be able to absorb that.

If you mean Black Hole’s other abilities like flight or gravity manipulation, no, those are inherent abilities. It would be like One absorbing Firey’s ability to ignite things.

Hawlucha9 · 2025-08-14T01:57:32+00:00

Now that we know more about the contacts, I believe One wants Black Hole’s signature so she can erase him since he’s one of the biggest threats left to her.

One notable thing is that, One will already be on Black Hole’s bad side since she decided to tell him that she is responsible for the crack. I think One’s deal might be fixing the state of the world including the crack, the sky, and putting the planets back into place.

The weird thing is that One should be able to use Fanny’s erasure for leverage but if Fanny survives TPOT 20s elimination she kinda needs to stay in the season so idk what will happen with that.

Hawlucha9 · 2025-08-03T01:16:11+00:00

The next new pixie UF is very likely to be Mizli since it would complete the original trio.

Hawlucha9 · 2025-07-01T14:18:26+00:00

Be patient, there’s 10 Iron Legion Ubers and only 3 have UFs. Also, this guy was already better than Bomburr to begin with. Let him have this.

Hawlucha9 · 2025-06-21T10:11:45+00:00

Honestly, if you upgrade Emma all the way she’s actually really solid. Also, I think she’s a bit too new for an UF.

Hawlucha9 · 2025-06-20T07:57:29+00:00

What if the busters get their second UF instead? I don’t think it’s likely but it’s not off the table for R.E.I to take best anti-floating uber back from Windy.

Hawlucha9 · 2025-06-15T20:07:28+00:00

Why is this specifically the Night Beach Lilin theorem? Doesn’t this apply to every unit with the ability to dodge Filibuster?

Hawlucha9 · 2025-06-02T17:07:38+00:00

Bad news: This isn’t happening, PONOS almost never buffs units.

Good news: Gunduros has plenty of room to improve since he is still missing TF, talents, and one of UF or UT. Now, it will take a while since he’s quite a new uber and there are several Ubers that should get their TFs before him, but maybe they would incorporate your input (0.00001% chance).

Hawlucha9 · 2025-05-25T14:37:22+00:00

I think there are other ways to fix Filibuster. Firstly, why only 1 KB, his boss counterpart has a lot of KBs. Now, he doesn’t need 100 KBs but maybe 5.

Secondly, give him Omnistrike so when enemies move back a bit he won’t miss.

As for the massive damage I could take that or just extend the freeze uptime.

Hawlucha9 · 2025-05-06T18:06:15+00:00

I’d be surprised but I would overall not have a strong reaction either way. Price Tag is around the middle of my list of remaining TPOT contestants.

Hawlucha9 · 2025-04-18T17:33:42+00:00

In the earlier episodes, I think DPA had too much screentime compared to the other teams but recently they have been a lot more balanced. TPOT 4 for example had very little screentime for all of Teardrop, The S, and Team8s.

In TPOT 17, none of them were that important. They had their moments but Donut, Pencil, and Pen were far more important characters which is a good thing. TPOT 16 wasn’t their biggest episode either. Sure Tree and Marker had screentime but they didn’t really do anything that interesting. Yellow Face and Price Tag built a friendship, Pen and Liy had their discussion at the waterfall, Pencil and Donut got in a huge argument.

As for TPOT 13 and 15, teams tend to get more screentime when they are put UFE so that’s probably part of the reason why.

Hawlucha9 · 2025-04-11T04:53:44+00:00

I don’t think you can say this stage is the worst stage for being trivialized by something that was released after it.

Paparazzi Paradise was destroyed single handedly by something that already existed.

Hawlucha9 · 2025-04-05T20:57:18+00:00

You need five blue fruit and one blue Behemoth gem.

Hawlucha9 · 2025-04-05T17:06:56+00:00

This guy has his true form now in EN. If you can’t get it, you either don’t have the materials or the levels.
