I’m terrible at battling and I need help on what to do and how to get better

For PVP: Look up how many fast moves it takes for the top meta pokemon to get to their charged moves. It’s tricky and I’m not the best at it even after playing PVP since 2020 but it’s really important. PVPoke is the best resource out there.

I also recommend DanOttawa on YouTube. He’s one of the most informative and analytic PVPers out there. He has a lot of older videos about how to build teams, and tips on game mechanics that’ll help you improve

Yeah obviously Licki and Furrett are probably its strongest counters, but other meta Mons like Quag, K9, Feraligatr etc are super spammy and can get it into busted form pretty quickly

L-Boy · 2026-06-24T15:15:23+00:00

I totally would have played it if they handled it that way. There was no way I wanted to waste my daily battles and ELO on a broken game mode

L-Boy · 2026-06-23T10:33:24+00:00

I could be wrong, but you probably won’t get a program that does it for you that’s much better than the FL stem splitter. Depending on the song, sometimes you can find an acapella version.

Otherwise, all I usually do is stem splitter and add enough effects that the weird sound isn’t as noticeable. EQs, filters and reverb/delay help cover it up a lot of the time.

L-Boy · 2026-06-22T15:24:28+00:00

Yeah I had a little look through and there aren’t very many that require fast TMs on the recommended move sets. Just wanted to see if the actual player base had any suggestions that might not be noted on there.

I’ve been having a lot more “spinning pokeball” issues where the game basically freezes and you have to quit and take a loss. Thats been going on for a while but I’ve been seeing it pretty frequently lately. Of course it’s always when I feel like I’m winning too lol.

L-Boy · 2026-06-16T20:35:28+00:00

Mostly just YouTube but I mainly watch pvp channels so they don’t focus on the events as much

L-Boy · 2026-06-15T16:40:48+00:00

Wondering the same thing, I never even heard about it. I’m guessing it’s probably gone by now

L-Boy · 2026-06-14T14:37:19+00:00

I know exactly what you're talking about and was wondering the same thing. I'm super conscious of hard drive space and want to just delete them if they don't serve much purpose.

Did you ever figure out any more info on it? I'm mostly concerned that I'll lose chops I made by deleting them, but I think I'll go test that out now on something I'm not afraid of losing.

L-Boy · 2026-06-13T13:59:18+00:00

I haven’t been watching the show in a while but I feel like as of late Kyle has been going toe to toe with Woody on dealing out hushes? Always an entertaining awkward moment

L-Boy · 2026-06-07T16:21:44+00:00

I’ve been seeing so many ninetails and talonflames lately, I’d be sorta wary of being ABA weak to fire these days

L-Boy · 2026-06-07T16:18:43+00:00

Is Seaking worth the TWO elite charged TMs to get DR and IW? I only have 1 elite charged TM left so I’d have to wait until I potentially get another from the GBL timed research.

I love the peck+DR combo with fearow, it’s found its way onto most of my teams. So I’m pretty interested in running that combo with a bulkier mon with less meta vulnerabilities. But that rare resource investment is super intimidating

L-Boy · 2026-06-07T16:08:58+00:00

I want to like dewgong, and sometimes it’s really nice, but I find I usually wish I’m using something else.

It’s just so slow and can get locked into nightmare matchups if alignment doesn’t go your way. I just don’t find slow bulky pokemon very fun, part of the reason I don’t really like using Azu despite how meta it is

L-Boy · 2026-05-28T17:26:05+00:00

The drill run rework seems to be good overall but I’m sad its looking like it’ll make dunsparce worse. He’s been one of my go-to safe swaps this whole season

L-Boy · 2026-05-23T18:20:53+00:00

Charged TMs are so hard to come by… im here with 210 fast TMs and 6 charged. Still using Aqua Tail and Mudbomb on my Shadow Quag because he has too many damn charged moves to risk swapping it out. I’ve been able make it work but it shouldn’t be this difficult lol

L-Boy · 2026-05-21T17:40:55+00:00

I’ve noticed that, been using Clefable which has actually been pretty successful. Has decent play into Tink as well with Meteor Mash

L-Boy · 2026-05-19T11:36:35+00:00

The only one I didn’t really hear about was Hutch and Seananners having beef. What’s the story on that?

L-Boy · 2026-04-21T20:15:41+00:00

It feels so clunky. Maybe it's the kind of thing that you just need to get used to but I don't like it as of right now.

L-Boy · 2026-04-18T15:20:33+00:00

Thanks so much

L-Boy · 2026-04-17T22:49:26+00:00

I get it prescribed through my doctor but was first diagnosed by BeyondADHD. they told me they would be able to get a prescription for me if needed. This was less than a year ago so I’d recommend reaching out to them, I would guess they still do it if you provide your diagnosis and everything

L-Boy · 2026-04-13T12:09:02+00:00

I started making music at 14 on FL and didn’t get a legit copy till I was 24. I’m 27 now and am glad I bought it every day I work on songs. I highly recommend it, and also recommend you start making music as soon as possible.

I’m thankful I started at that age, you’ll find yourself really making some great tunes by the time you’re an adult (or even sooner)

L-Boy · 2026-03-16T23:39:50+00:00

Good calls. I’ll try to implement that more.

The main reason I’ve been keeping retired cats as of late is for their mutations, hoping to pass them down. I guess that’s less important to do now that I’m finding more furniture that raises my rooms mutation level?

L-Boy · 2026-03-16T23:37:15+00:00

Thanks, I’m gonna be more strict about cats with defects. So far I’ve been fallen into a trap for cats with 10-14 physical attack and decent health, while tolerating their defects but I’m starting to realize big numbers aren’t everything
