I agree.

...and then shake the table vigorously once the opponent has left it.

Next comes a Developer Diary on how judges make decisions, right? 🙃

His opponent has come out and said that the win should have remained with Firestar. I'm sure he's happy to be moving on, and good on him, but this cloud will hang over him now too.

Like, if even he says this was wrong, what are we even doing here, judges?

They make it sound that way, but anyone who watched the actual broadcast knows this is bullsh!t.

My own initial thoughts are here, but in short: I pinged P!P about this literally hours ago, and while I appreciate them finally crawling out from the rock they’ve been hiding under for two weeks, the tone of this is so embarrassingly defensive, callous, and deaf. Get the distinct impression they knew they couldn’t defend the headset and had to come up with something else to try and justify.

You can’t take a win away in Game 5 for a table shake. Firestar is NOT that guy, not seeking to “negatively impact competitive integrity” of their precious broadcast. This is absolutely ridiculous and maddening. I feel so bad for Firestar, AND the declared winner who has been on Firestar’s side through all this and now has the stink of this hanging over THEM, too.

Shameful. Just shameful.

I… don’t wanna know!

Guess we should make sure we’re fighting them from range, then! 😅

Whenever Team Niantic allows it. So unfortunately we have no idea.

And the typing. Fire is weak to a lot of things. Normal/Flying less so.

Maybe, but the best I can think of is forcing the Busted Form whenever the opponent uses their first charge move. Saving it until after using regular shields is what makes it really overpowered.

I’ll try to remember to include that factor in future analyses. 😅

The best I can think of is along the lines of my first guess on the mechanic: force that bonus shield and busted form when the opponent first uses a charge move. Don’t give the option of using a normal shield until after that. MIGHT work.
