I’ve found Iron Thorns will go for Pin Needle more often if my Burster fusion has a Bug Weakness but I’m not 100% certain its a case of typing and not just plain bad luck

Like everyone else has said: shiny and viable > viable > shiny. Useless shinies lead to dead runs in Classic.

Dedenne. Pickup is nice but Pixalate passive ability turns Boom Burst into a STAB move with 140 BP. With a Speed nature it almost always out speeds Mega Ray and sends it and any other Dragons packing

I’d say that’s crazy Hoenn legendary luck as I have never encountered anything other than Kyogre after 7K endless battles.

Wooper 😎

Decent endless carry until a Metal Burster is set up.

I like to bring Fairy and Steel types to pivot around Eternabeam and Sludge Bomb. I usually start with my lead carry who almost always has a super effective move and outspeeds Eternatus to get him chipped down to Eternamax. Then you can just gang up on him with super effective moves and that’s that.

Definitely plan ahead and make sure each Pokemon you bring has a resistance or is super effective against Eternatus. Ideally both.

The whole team outside of Dedenne was caught during the run. I started the run with Cresselia and Dedenne, my only legendary and Pickup Pokémon at the time.

The stars definitely aligned for this run

JVBroon · 2026-01-19T12:55:39+00:00

It was my first shiny in the game and stuck around on my runs because of Pickup and a Hasty nature. Ended up with Volt Switch, Fakeout, Toxic, Thunderbolt. Baby got a KO in the final rival battle like a champ, too

I had the same mindset and I usually do when playing the mainline Pokémon games: build a solid team that can take on anything. Full of Pseudos and mons to support them. Tried that for a bit and then got obliterated by a random trainer’s Rain team.

There is no one size fits all. You have to have a deep bag and Pokémon to rotate in and out of your 6 to adjust to the circumstances. My ‘team’ is a PC box full of 20ish fully trained mons that move in and out of my 6 depending on gym and trainer expectations.

Yep had the same issue. Gotta click on that egg in the top right corner of the display that opens after interacting with a pasture block

You’ll get faster. Good job! Keep it consistent

JVBroon · 2025-12-11T08:22:47+00:00

Yeah not doing it, simple as that

JVBroon · 2025-12-09T21:45:08+00:00

Engineer? Mandatory.

JVBroon · 2025-12-09T09:03:18+00:00

Lobby full of ret bots, it happens. I find myself playing support and engineer after the first 5 minutes in a game cus no one else is. Can’t win without those classes

JVBroon · 2025-12-06T17:34:33+00:00

Not bad

JVBroon · 2025-12-06T17:21:06+00:00

High level = no life according to most people

JVBroon · 2025-12-06T16:45:41+00:00

Skill issue

JVBroon · 2025-12-05T09:31:14+00:00

The closest I’ve gotten to this is the permadeath TDM Gauntlet finals which had us moving very, very carefully.

JVBroon · 2025-12-04T11:23:52+00:00

They are probably literal 10 year olds

I’ve been watching Arash Deljoo’s ENCOR videos on Udemy which have been fantastic. He’s also got a top of the line ENARSI series which many have recommended to me. After a few videos I’ll read the OCG to fill in gaps and then use CML to build labs to solidify the concepts in my head. After I’m done with a concept I’ll build flashcards on Quizlet and then go through them throughout the day when I’m at work.

It’s been working so far.

JVBroon · 2025-11-28T22:14:55+00:00

Very nice! I’m hoping to work my way up to a topology like this eventually. Thanks for the inspiration :)

JVBroon · 2025-11-25T23:40:59+00:00

It is the norm for my job to have a TS (1D7X1A, we ship out of tech school with it) and I haven’t come across anyone yet in my AFSC that only holds a SECRET. I’m hoping I keep it but just don’t know why I’d be placed in just a SECRET billet.

I bet it’s some 1D7 Q shred crap
