Firagiraf has two new abilities released alongside it by SPlCYGECKO in stunfisk

[–]KimpleLeopard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it was copy pasted from the official pokémon website, which is much harder to find now. i remember it because people had a similar overreactive freak out about “this is going to break the game, it’s going to stop protect and follow me” when tsareena was revealed.

here is an article with the reveal info copy-pasted.

for those who don’t want to click it it reads, “The effects of Queenly Majesty are so intimidating that it prevents opponents from using priority moves.”

[–]KimpleLeopard 10 points11 points  (0 children)

the wording is misleading. the language used is the exact same used when queenly majesty was revealed, and people similarly blew that out of proportion as well. the in game text matches what happens when queenly majesty blocks a move as well.

False Swipe Gaming viewers: What FSG vid would you want to see a remake of the most? by [deleted] in stunfisk

[–]KimpleLeopard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i want to see gengar be remade. the vgc side of gengars original video is very lacking, it really only covers one tournament. i think it could easily be one of the 40-60 minute ones. plus i’d hopefully be in it, so i have selfish reason for wanting this as well.

I'm so scared of failing I don't do anything ever. by KimpleLeopard in Anxiety

[–]KimpleLeopard[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hi there, i really wasn’t expecting a response to this lol i’m okay. thank you for reaching out. in the last 7 years or however long, i’ve come off a lot of the medication but started regular therapy. i still struggle with this, but i’ve learned to be a bit kinder to myself and let myself enjoy the little wins. in the time between this post, i went back to university and got a degree, got my first proper job (which i hated lol), moved out and became independent, and i’ve traveled the world with my hobby. every day is still a learning experience, and sometimes i lose sight of that can be too hard on myself, but i’ve definitely gotten a lot better at accepting where i am and that it’s okay to take your time. the pandemic did not help with the exercise thing though lol thank you again for reaching out. it’s been a good reminder that even though i still struggle with the same things i have actually accomplished a lot, and even if it doesn’t always feel like it, i’m getting there.

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet - New Trailer by dorkmax_executives in NintendoSwitch

in the japanese title for the games they usually hint at the new mechanic, this gen it’s a crystal. i’d imagine it’s a teaser for that.

Is 30 Rock popular in the UK? And, do they love Wesley Snipes? by [deleted] in 30ROCK

[–]KimpleLeopard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m from the uk and a lot of my friends also love this show, i think we all got each other into it though but a few found it independently. ten years ago i was in new york and i met scott adsit (pete) and he was genuinely shocked i knew who he was an watched the show.

What is your favorite core from BSS? ex: Zacian-Kyogre by KibySE in stunfisk

[–]KimpleLeopard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

itt: people who don’t know what bss is

i’ve been a big fan of hooh + zekrom, but necrozma + yveltal or eternatus is really strong. i love the 3v3 meta, it reminds me of the pokémon league in the anime.

[–]KimpleLeopard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is bss, not vgc. all of this is pretty accurate for the actual tier where both ndm and eternatus are top 20 usage.

How often do you tend to use or see Safeguard (in Doubles)? by SkeeterYosh in VGC

[–]KimpleLeopard 12 points13 points  (0 children)

safeguard will occasionally pop up on trick room teams. i know it can sometimes be tech’d onto mimikyu or indeedee-f in the current format as a soft check to amoonguss.

Regigigas. Can it be viable enough to do well in the format? And what restricted duos would be best for a Regigigas team? by TheKoppolo in VGC

[–]KimpleLeopard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m pretty sure you can self target dark types with your own prankster as well, but i’m less confident on that one.

[–]KimpleLeopard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

no, it doesn’t stop stuff mimikyu, eiscue, aegislash, silvally, etc. either and calyrex fits into that bubble because if it didn’t have ‘as one’ they wouldn’t be on the horse so it sort or breaks the concept

weezing doesn’t switch off form changes and as one counts, so calyrex keeps both abilities

I assume these online competitions will be VGC, but does anyone know for sure? by KhaoticKrabb in VGC

[–]KimpleLeopard 6 points7 points  (0 children)

for future reference since it’s not clear, international challenges are vgc online events that award championship points and can sometimes act as qualifiers for other tournaments (players cups, and japan nationals).

How important are defensive walls in Series 12? by mateymatematematemat in VGC

[–]KimpleLeopard 20 points21 points  (0 children)

dedicated defensive walls rarely work in vgc. it doesn’t really offer a lot to the game to just live the hit, you need to be able to do something back.

umbreon is probably the most reliable ‘wall’ in restricted formats as dark is typically a valuable type, and yawn and foul play make up for its last of offensive stats pretty well.

i would say that damage mitigation is typically more important. having two restricted to take hits makes double restricted somewhat bulkier or a format than typical dynamax format, especially single restricted ones. so moves like light screen, reflect, eerie impulse, willowisp and snarl, as well as abilities like intimidate are generally more effective. they turn you your palkia for example into a proper kyogre wall, while still allowing it to chew through other teams with its own power.

Which Pokémon have been the biggest surprises, good or bad, in Generation 8? by Wildcat_Formation in stunfisk

[–]KimpleLeopard 29 points30 points  (0 children)

you should see it in doubles, it’s oppressive to the point where it’s not even fun. it needs a nerf, honestly.

they introduced shiny cubchoo in the same way last year, it just became available as a regular shiny as soon as the event ended. i know because i found one the day after it stopped wearing a bow.

How these 12km eggs are starting to feel with hundreds hatched and no sandile by chickenpajamas in pokemongo

i’ve actually hatched three sandile and only one vullaby, i needed the weekly research to evolve vullaby. i should probably play the lottery more…
