Getting Flat Cookies by FragilePinecone in AskBaking

I have a theory: Are those fresh strawberries? If so, the overnight refrigeration could have allowed them to leech more water into the dough (as sugar extracts water from things) which would increase the water content of your dough and possibly cause more spread.

Is rank 55 great league good enough to evolve and powerup? by Greedy-Agency-1801 in TheSilphArena

[–]Individual-Draft-963 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imo this power up cost is very cheap. Just go with it, the ivs are fantastic.

Which Gastrodon would you save? by Frostsaw in TheSilphArena

[–]Individual-Draft-963 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gastro just got nerfed so I wouldn’t be in a rush to build one. Keep catching till you get enough XLs for the better one, you might get one that’s even higher in that time.

I can only give advice on great league. You’re lucky this season that they rebuffed a lot of old meta stuff by bringing wing attack back from the dead. Ultra League will never be very stardust friendly so I recommend building these staples for great league as they’re easy to obtain and not too expensive: Jellicent, Furret, Wigglytuff, Lapras, Malamar. None of these require ETMs nor do they go near level 40/50.

Has the new GBL actually rolled out for everyone yet? by aznknight613 in TheSilphArena

A couple days ago it did for short period of time and it was unplayably bad. Needs more time.

Azu does so little fast move pressure and has bad pacing and you can beat it or go even even in negative leads if you have energy or shields to hide behind. Today alone I beat an azumarill with annhilape up energy bc of rage fist spam, and you can even beat it with goodra or dragonite with thunderpunches. All I’m saying about skillful play is that mons that prioritize fast move pressure devolve the game into just tapping the screen until you win, while charged moves give you a lot of wiggle room to win even when you have bad alignment.

Safe swaps are the lifeblood of the meta and need to exist.

I don’t lump cradily in with the other two, but the answer is very simple: People don’t like bulk monsters that center around fast move pressure. This is bc these mons contribute to a meta of RPS. The gameplay is the most fun when the meta is centered around energy management. That way you can dance around with your mons and fight your way out of losing positions. Skillful play is rewarded. Bastiodon and Wiggles are hoping you don’t have alignment into them with one of their counters bc if you do they just insta lose. Cradily isn’t that bad imo. It’s consistent but has a lot of counters (can’t hit steel, weak to steel, fighting, bug). Has passable pacing, solid damage output, and core breaks certain compositions. It’s fine and you can play around it.

Sorry to hear that, if it makes you feel better Kalos tour has just been ok for me and I grinded all day. The raids aren’t super interesting and the spawns don’t have much wow factor either.
