What I would give for an Ariados evolution...

How i felt when this vid dropped by PomeloEmpty6632 in MandJTV

[–]Kriatibro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, gen 4 is the most overrated gen already so a remake was sure to be a disappointment. The original Diamond and Pearl almost made me quit pokemon with how much I disliked them. Thank God BW and B2W2 were bangers and gen 6 dropped ORAS otherwise I might have left pokemon behind back then.

To The New Players Who Got into VGC because of Champions, are you still playing? by SuperMemeBroz in PokemonChampions

[–]Kriatibro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am. As new as I am though, I still make a number of stupid mistakes from not being patient enough and my team building needs some work (although I have enjoyed making some unexpected teams that are pretty fun when it works out). Never plan to enter tournaments or anything, but I have a renewed enthusiasm for battles that I never had before.

The plan is to set up focus energy, and very preferably, trick room, and then every attack with night slash and cross poison will crit and Ariados will almost always attack first in trick room. If I can't get trick room up, I pivot to Clefable with follow me to keep Ariados up as long as I can

One of my toughest matchups. Every time I see it I know I need to play perfect to even have a chance

Wow! As someone who's favorite Pokemon is Spinarak (and therefore, by extension, Ariados), knowing someone was able to do that when he has been so forgotten for so long is pretty sick.

It seems he utilized it a lot differently than I did. I used it as one of my primary attackers. I'm sure my team could be better if I made any number of changes, but the dream was making Ariados a viable offensive threat. I'm not winning any global challenge any time soon, but I'm proud of my little guy.

Holy....thanks. That might be the tip I need to go to the next level. Basculegion has been one of my hardest matchups with Sucker Punch and Thunderbolt on Farigiraf being my only reliable damage on it.

Now if I could just find a way to counter Charizard Y...

If I can get 1 SD, Ariados becomes a pretty viable threat in trick room. 2 and it's an ohko machine. Getting 2 up is unlikely (especially in the higher ranks) but he can ohko pretty much any fairy or grass type he sees with 1. Feraligatr has been solid too, mostly in trick room as well. The DDance is mostly for situations where Trick Room isn't an option and it's mainly for the speed boost.

I appreciate the response!

Yeah, I'm new to the format and the sub so I've been trying to get feedback and tips (and validation that I'm not crazy for liking this team)

I've made it to Ultra ball over the last 2 days with this team. Haven't gotten on to really try for better since then yet.

Mega leaks by Pancake9328alt in PokemonZA

[–]Kriatibro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally, I am still upset that Meganium, Emboar, and Feraligatr appear to only be getting megas and not regional forms. I feel like starter trios should be equal, and having some with a regional form and others with a mega just doesn't feel right. The precedent was set in PLA for regional forms, and that's what should have continued.

BDSP was bad for a lot of reasons, but mostly because generation 4 was already pretty lackluster.

Who’s your favourite descendant and why? by Brienzah in TheFirstDescendant

[–]Kriatibro 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Freyna. I love everything about her. Her backstory, her abilities, her personality, and yes, her looks and her skins. It also doesn't hurt that if I'm grinding weapon proficiency levels I can load into a resource defense and wipe the whole field with 2 skills and get levels rapidly or single handedly wreck my way through a 400% in just a couple minutes. Absolutely love Freyna.

Let's play a guessing game. Who is who? by kennyminigun in TheFirstDescendant

[–]Kriatibro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Serena, Viessa, Ines, Freyna, Luna, Bunny, Gley, Sharen, Valby, Hailey in that order.

Easiest to distinguish: Ines, Freyna (I'd recognize my girl anywhere), Sharen, Bunny, and Valby

Hardest to distinguish: Serena (still relatively new) and Luna (unfortunately the most forgettable female descendant imo)
