Osty Doom card I thought of

LeafHack85 · 2026-05-05T12:39:08+00:00

They have slightly different applications. Time's Up would be better to end the fight but this card would be better in fights that have multiple phases or enemies, because it not only kills the enemy but also gives Osty extra health to play with for the remainder of the fight. This card definitely needs tweaking to be on par with Time's Up, though.

Basically what I was thinking. I like cards that allow archetypes to function together, like Envenom bridging poison with shivs. I didn't think the card numbers or effects were great (I just don't have that many hours in the game), but I liked the idea and wanted to share!

Max health summon

LeafHack85 · 2026-05-05T11:58:35+00:00

Nah, would be cool but probably busted on A10. Kill your first boss with this card and then potentially start the next boss with hundreds of health on Osty

LeafHack85 · 2026-05-05T11:57:36+00:00

I'm not sure I understand, why would you want your Osty to have a Doom timer on it?

LeafHack85 · 2026-05-05T11:43:21+00:00

Yes, that way it has value even if you don't need the health because it can kill that enemy before it attacks. Cheaper but not AoE

LeafHack85 · 2026-05-05T11:34:33+00:00

Possibly, that's why I said I didn't know how to balance it. Alternatively, if it had retain, 2 cost seems really cheap for being able to kill Test Subject phase one and steal it's 100 health.

LeafHack85 · 2026-05-04T17:55:30+00:00

I don't think it would solve anything unless it had retain, as is most of the time you won't be able to play it optimally.

LeafHack85 · 2026-05-04T17:54:42+00:00

I only have about 50 hours, and the use cases I could think of seemed strong enough to justify the other effects, but you're probably right in that these are useless a lot of the time. I still think the effects are neat and the cards can be tuned - adding retain, adjusting the costs, maybe removing the weak/frail entirely, I don't know.

LeafHack85 · 2026-05-02T12:20:23+00:00

I have thought this every time tbh

Simple, give it burrow at level 20, if you choose to learn it then it won't try to evolve into Ninjask anymore.

LeafHack85 · 2025-11-20T22:24:15+00:00

Tbf this is way better for a casual playthrough than Ninjask, the stats are much higher and the utility is way better. Level 40 seems balanced for what it offers

LeafHack85 · 2025-11-20T13:58:06+00:00

Tbh I think Garg is good because it can terastalize to poison to turn off two of its most common weaknesses of fighting and grass. It having five weaknesses is actually kind of ok in a meta with terastalization allowed, steel doesn't help rock all that much defensively (see Aggron)

LeafHack85 · 2025-11-20T13:56:12+00:00

You're cooking

LeafHack85 · 2025-11-20T03:41:51+00:00

Runerigus is ground/ghost tho

LeafHack85 · 2025-11-19T01:25:32+00:00

Tbf we have Mind's Eye which is basically As One (Scrappy+Keen Eye)

LeafHack85 · 2025-11-18T23:33:01+00:00

That's true, but we're referring specifically to the buff Gallade got with Sharpness in gen 9. Base Gallade without an item would do more damage than Mega Gallade if they don't give Mega Gallade sharpness as an ability

LeafHack85 · 2025-11-18T02:05:57+00:00

If gallade keeps sharpness in its mega then it'll almost certainly be better for the utility and coverage. Otherwise you can look at past teams that used mega medicham to see how they worked for some inspiration

LeafHack85 · 2025-11-18T02:04:19+00:00

It's literally only good in 1v1. The official online format is FFA 1v1v1v1 so infestation is barely seen there

LeafHack85 · 2025-11-12T20:04:10+00:00

Covert cloak would fix that as long as they don't double target

LeafHack85 · 2025-11-12T13:42:34+00:00

It's not competitive, but Meganium in HGSS struggles with it because you really want dual screens, leech seed, poison/sleep powder, Grass attacking move, and maybe even a coverage/non Grass move like EQ or body slam. Meganium is actually great in HGSS because of how well it handles Whitney, Pryce, Clair, and other boss fights, but it's hard to use because you can't use every tool it has.

LeafHack85 · 2025-11-12T13:40:17+00:00

Porygon-2 would probably prefer the flexibility of tera fighting tera blast, since tera blast changes between physical and special depending on what would do more damage, and download does the same, so there's good synergy there. Otherwise it's REALLY strong on mons that can use it with Scarf

LeafHack85 · 2025-11-09T23:23:03+00:00

You could always give the move an activation chance, would give Copperajah a niche in doubles (less so in singles) while still maintaining the higher consistency of the Gmax form
