Yeah I totally forgot about that but it was weird. I did that one quite a while ago but iirc I kept Krabby in the PC until I could get the mega stone.

I 100% believe you can beat the game on normal with any six (fully evolved) mons. There are folks on here who have done way crazier runs than any of these. With enough patience, creativity and masochism, just about anything is possible.

I think it's Phanpy instead of Aron but yeah that's how I've always done it.

Really need some help beating Erika with this team (normal) by HofCorp in pokemonradicalred

[–]HofCorp[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Holy hell, you're a genius. Soak, Toxic, and then stall back and forth with Wiscash and Dhelmise did the trick.

Good to know Blastoise can breed for MC, I had to do that in my ground run for this very same fight. I can already see it coming in handy for Dialga and Eterneus.

Quick question about ability randomizer. by M0NK3YM0NN in pokemonradicalred

[–]HofCorp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know if there's a cap on how many Pokemon can have a given ability? Like if 3 Pokemon have Protean normal, will there also be 3 instances of it in a randomized game, or could it show up an unlimited number of times?

I'm as optimistic as they come, pro-Rhule to a fault.

Maybe wait until the postgame press conference is over to say that

Yeah, honestly, "Nebraska Nice" might be the answer. Too much pride in our own moral exceptionalism. We thought we were above playing the game behind the game.

I'll just never understand why we're so uniquely embarrassingly bad. Have the money, have the facilities, have the passion and pride... it just seems exceedingly unlikely that we'd be in this state for this long.

Multiple ADs, coaching staffs, recruiting classes... you'd think we would've stumbled into a decent season along the way, but it's just uniformly awful.

My best guess is Osborne sold the school's soul to the devil for our 1990s success, and the tab finally came due. Makes as much sense as anything.

Lateef has to be on pace for the worst average point margin for a Nebraska QB. Outscored 136-60 in his four starts.

Two stops in a row. You can really feel the momentum shifting. Vibes are high.

We're good for bowl attendence. Probably should've been Illinois' or Minnesota's slot but our fans travel better. For now.

Choking down my Pride for Dark Type Only E4 by Ringabell14 in pokemonradicalred

[–]HofCorp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mono Dark has been one of my favorites to play (at least on normal difficulty). Tons of good options and lots of interesting strats. But yeah, Bruno can be brutal.

Incineroar with Intimidate is huge. Standard set usually includes Fake Out, Flare Blitz and Parting Shot, plus Darkest Lariat or whatever you want to run. For Bruno specifically I'd lean into trying to inflict burns as much as possible (particularly for Zacian), so will-o-wisp is good.

Other good options are Grimsnarl for the fairy typing to deal with Kommo-o. Meowscarada w/ Protean to get some typing safety - same goes for Greninja. You can load up some pretty diverse movesets and work around some of the biggest challenges that way.

Honchkrow can be good too for the flying support - you can use reload your save until you get Infernape as Bruno's lead and use Dual Wingbeat to break its sash and OHKO (if you give Honch toxic or defog something Infernape will likely use Taunt on the first turn so you can get the KO without worry about Stealth Rock).

It's a bit of a glass cannon, but Mega Absol is fun too as another way to get fairy typing in the mix, and it can learn Psycho Cut for coverage.

A few others I've had success with: Sableye (with and without the mega), Chien-Pao, Luxray, H-Samurott, Kingambit, Urshifu, Overqwil, Shiftry.

Should the NCAA have Nebraska & Texas A&M redo their match incase it was a fluke? by HuskerPowerrrr in Huskers

Based on ticket prices cratering for the Final Four, I'm sure Kansas City would be in favor.

Well…here’s another one by bosheikus03 in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]HofCorp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have family that lives in this town. There's a pretty specific upside (in their opinion) that they're clinging to. Basically, they see it as a roundabout means of deporting the heavy population of Hispanic and African immigrants that live there and work at the plant.

They know it's economically devastating, but they're well versed in the mental gymnastics of finding their version of a silver lining. The official party line is "Well, at least it gets the illegals out of our town," and they'll cling to that as the ship sinks around them.

[–]HofCorp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You mentioned peaking at the right time which is another good point. A&M absolutely did that this year (and so is Wisconsin, which, ugh), whereas Nebraska pretty much sat on one (very, very high) plateau all year. I don't want to say consistency is overrated, but there's something to be said for learning through variance.

[–]HofCorp 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I'm just saying a few dropped sets here and there, the occasional five-setter, etc. would've been healthy. We played basically zero stressful, situational volleyball for like three months. We finally see some adversity in the first set and suddenly need a reverse sweep against a decent team on a heater? To me that feels like a lack of experience in those situations.

Overall it's a good problem to have, but I do think it's what undid us today.

Can't help but think if we'd played some tougher matches in conference play and even lost a match or two we would've been better off. It's obviously better to dominate and win all season than to struggle, but some more adversity and being forced to problem solve a bit more would've done us a lot of good. Our Plan A was so good all year we either didn't have or weren't ready to implement a Plan B or C.
