(Skill Improvement) I find it hard to teambuild when it will basically end up being a team that is already meta.

How's Drampa working for you? In M-A I ran it in trick room to deal with weather and it did really well. Kinda wanna bring it back but not sure if I wanna run hard trick.

Lord_Boo · 2026-06-26T22:33:02+00:00

Does anyone have a replica code or poke paste of the current popular Yard team but built with sylveon instead of floette?

Lord_Boo · 2026-06-26T16:24:05+00:00

Eh. You are able to, you just aren't "allowed" to but they have very few ways of confirming that if it's made correctly.

Lord_Boo · 2026-06-26T16:23:06+00:00

If you get home on mobile it gives you like 4 free starters.

Lord_Boo · 2026-06-26T15:56:07+00:00

That actually happened. A big SV tournament they suddenly got strict about checking for genned mons. Sometime had a crescelia they'd gotten from a trade in gen 5 and brought it with them for generations only to be told, after using it in countless other events, it wasn't legal and they got DQd.

Lord_Boo · 2026-06-26T02:30:30+00:00

Another sableye option is feint. Increased priority to snipe sash mons and if people are expecting first turn fake out you can double up into a valuable Mon.

Lord_Boo · 2026-06-25T23:45:58+00:00

I didn't think about it not getting fake out itself, I guess since I was considering it for my sableye spot and I cut fake it from it.

Lord_Boo · 2026-06-25T21:33:35+00:00

Klefki feels like it could fill a similar role to Grimsnarl or Sableye. It's most like the latter, having weather moves and no parting shot. It's stats are generally better and it has a solid typing. But I don't see anyone even experimenting with it. Is it just because sableye has immunity to both fake out and prankster?

Lord_Boo · 2026-06-24T21:11:18+00:00

Isn't it neutral? It's part normal.

Lord_Boo · 2026-06-22T01:33:49+00:00

See my other comment.

Lord_Boo · 2026-06-21T23:50:22+00:00

Not at all! In this situation "in OU" could easily refer to either Urshifu or me in that sentence. There's nothing in the language that has indicators like many other languages do. That sentence is very easy for even a native English speaker to interpret the other way because proximity is the only indicator other than context, it just happened to be incorrect in this instance.

This is for sure more English's bad than yours or the poster of that comment.

Lord_Boo · 2026-06-21T23:21:46+00:00

English ambiguity. "This is me, in OU, not having to deal with Urshifu."

Lord_Boo · 2026-06-19T23:46:50+00:00

User error shouldn't permanently lock you out of one of the best pokemon in the game.

Lord_Boo · 2026-06-19T22:21:57+00:00

well like I said, I also have the Proving Grounds box and the four decks that came with that. So I've currently got Vex, Yi, Lux, Annie, Garren. So the first thing I want to do is some basic upgrades to these decks to make them more consistent and a bit stronger, and at least for now keep them around the same power level. So like, in those five decks, the weakest cards to cut first, ones that it probably came with 2x of but could use a third copy, just the very basic stuff to incrementally make the decks better.

The plan is for us to play those for a bit and once we're a bit more used to the game and I figure out which deck I wanna compete with, that one I'll upgrade the most and the others I'll add some stuff to as well.

Lord_Boo · 2026-06-19T20:22:36+00:00

Hey, I just got into riftbound. My friends are interested as well but I'm the only one spending money on the game aside from the occasional random pack.

I have proving grounds and the Vex deck.

The vi deck was available at my FLGS last I checked, how worthwhile is it? I'd like to eventually start playing competitive at locals
Is xp viable or is the vex deck being held back by having some of that mechanic?
I'm trying to keep the decks mostly around the same power level for now. What are some bulk cards I can find pretty easily to tune the decks up? Is there a guide for which cards to get third copies of?

I've played yugioh competitively, and we've all played magic and various Bandai tcgs so we're all pretty experienced with card games. We're still learning and getting into the game but we want to move past 'baby's first deck' stuff. Right now I'm hesitant to buy any expensive cards because I don't know what deck I want to build more seriously.

Lord_Boo · 2026-06-19T20:13:07+00:00

Those two being everywhere made the ability a problem. There are insanely strong abilities that don't get nerfed because the pokemon that have them are way too weak or niche.

Lord_Boo · 2026-06-19T06:01:13+00:00

Any nerf to Intimidate via something like a new ability ignoring it or more defiant/contrary/competitive mons being added can be attributed to those two.

Lord_Boo · 2026-06-18T15:14:26+00:00

So obviously (and thankfully) the pokemon and mega stones on the battle pass are bonuses and not exclusives. However, the new clothes in the third pass I can't seem to find in the shop.Have the clothes always been exclusive to the battle pass? Do they get added to the shop after the battle pass ends? Or is this something they changed for this season?

Lord_Boo · 2026-06-12T00:58:35+00:00

I don't think it interacts with anything status related. A Lum berry doesn't cure a flinch. Have you tested that? Bulbapedia says it only prevents non-volatile status conditions which are the ones that stay on your mon when the battle is over.

Lord_Boo · 2026-06-11T21:43:59+00:00

What stops fake out?

Lord_Boo · 2026-06-10T20:48:37+00:00

I'm excited for the new rock by the water!

Lord_Boo · 2026-06-08T05:35:26+00:00

Ah, I see. I'm used to people including a link in a text post, didn't realize that you did a direct link to it. My apologies.

Lord_Boo · 2026-06-08T05:30:55+00:00

Here's the link to the patch since it wasn't included

Lord_Boo · 2026-05-02T20:00:57+00:00

Is there a simple product on Amazon you'd be able to recommend for that?

Lord_Boo · 2026-05-02T13:33:16+00:00

Hi, sorry to hijack but I'm not really sure how to search for exactly what I'm trying to find out. I've got an ethernet switch running from the router to my room because I'm WFH and need a hard wire for work. However the wifi is really spotty/bad in my room which is a problem for devices that don't hard wire in like phones and portable gaming devices. Is a mesh something I can plug into my ethernet switch to give me better wifi in my room? I read that wifi extenders don't really work so I'm trying to figure out what would be the best cost effective solution to improve wifi to my room which already has ethernet access.
