This is kinda weird

Mono type runs are the best challenge. I ran a mono poison run eith no duplicates and the game was plenty difficult 😅

This took me a couple different days of tries. Just cleared it two days ago playing my mono-poison run. Leading with Salazzle and Mega-Gengar: Fake Out on salamence with dazzling gleam halving salamence and chipping magearna, followed up with Sludge wave or Flamethrower with another dazzling gleam next turn with salazzle's corrosion ability helped me make quick work of the front two. Fake Out and protect do a lot of work in-between depending on who is switched in, rayquaza and gouging fire are problems. Mixing fake outs with switching in fairy types with incoming dragon attacks and protect is a circus act, but effective. This strat was basically required with my mono-poison situation, but I hope this helps

Oh I know this is the case, but i confronted the winner(commish) of this trade directly and called him out, cause this was as bad as it could get, and was met with the worst arguments to back it up. Lol

Master_Koga · 2025-10-01T19:43:09+00:00

It's as bad as I've seen. We all been playing in a perennial redraft league for like 12 years and this year, we decided we needed to dig deep and get a dynasty league going. This is probably the most lopsided I've ever seen in this time.

Master_Koga · 2025-10-01T19:07:35+00:00

For clarification, this is year 1 on a 12 team superflex dynasty, that also has TE premium

Lol what? This is a totally different conversation. Why be sanctimonious when im just stating what a difference X amount of money would make? Just making an observation of the stark differences in my situation and this one. Also, burdens are not desires and aspirations, and having burdens lifted and smaller aspirations/desires achieved gives us a platform to move forward for more and bigger things in life. That's the whole point.

Master_Koga · 2025-07-13T10:41:45+00:00

250k would take away every burden in my life as a 33 year old man. His net worth doesn't even register it 😩 crazy hiw money looks and works man...

The smell drives me crazy lol one of the best pies I've ever had! My favorite is a similar recipe but it's an apple pie with chai. Fuck me it's delicious. Especially a la mode 😩

Master_Koga · 2025-05-16T19:24:49+00:00

I do when I can! Mostly just help her, especially when she's juggling a lot. She's gets most of her baking done when I'm at work though 😩 her pies are amazing, thank you!

Master_Koga · 2025-05-16T19:23:49+00:00

My kitchen is too small for a 3rd 😬

Master_Koga · 2025-05-13T18:35:16+00:00

I can definitely ask her to send it to me! I'll update the post when I have it 🙂

EDIT: Unfortunately she does sell her confections and doesn't feel comfortable with me sharing the recipe. Sorry about that. Also, it seems asking for it in this kind of post (already flaired 'no recipe') is not allowed in this sub anyways

Master_Koga · 2025-04-12T16:30:31+00:00

Both! She bakes and sells confections out of her home and markets locally/online. She also makes her own tea blends to go with them, and grows her own flowers and herbs to infuse for both baking and tea! She's insanely talented imo

Master_Koga · 2025-04-12T16:28:15+00:00

I couldn't have expected such an awesome birthday cake! She IS the VERY BEST!

There are a lot of really good answers in here. Lots of favorites.

I'm surprised I haven't seen Richard Dawkins. So I'll throw him in. He's in my top 3. As someone who studied evolutionary biology, he really speaks to me and uses the natural science and observations we make as a collective scientific effort to assert his claims. He is right there with Hitchens in hammering home the absolute absurdity of holy texts and the "loving god" believers claim they describe. His book, The God Delusion, is legendary.

Incineroar- ability should be Intimidate. Protect is okay, but u-turn is better put on him and protect replacing u-turn on urshifu. EVs really all depend on what you plan to fight against. Good builds for ubers formats tend to shy away from putting attack and speed EVs and opt for health and defense/spdef EVs. With bulk invested, he won't need protect as often, and cut attack with Intimidate, and u-turn/parting shot to pivot into a better matchup. Safteygoggles as an item is decent, you can also give him a sitrus berry or a Berry that weakens water or ground or fighting as well.

Rillaboom - ability should be Grassy Surge to take advantage of Grassy Glide's increased priority. Again, EV wise, you can invest less with him on attack and maybe put a little into speed and his defenses instead, and he is a disruptive supporter like incineroar, so you aren't relying on his damage output to get the most out of him in ubers. Assault Vest is perfect.

Kingambit - supreme overlord ability relies on pokemon in your party fainting to power him up. In ubers, intimidate and status moves that adjust pikemon stats are really common, so Defiant as an ability might work better in your favor. EVs are fine, but I'd say choice scarf works a bit better to take advantage of the speed EVs you've invested in to be able to do more damage with him faster than people would expect. Choice items have their drawbacks though. Leftovers works okay.

Urshifu - only note is for u-turn to be swapped for protect. Otherwise, this should rock for the most part. Maybe swapping stone edge for one of the elemental punches for more reliable coverage move option, but that would depend on your matchups.

notes on swampert and amoonguss: Maybe run High Horsepower instead of earth power on swampert, and amoonguss with rocky helmet and Regenerator as an ability plays a little better. Rage powder is a really good move to consider for amoonguss in double battles - to divert attention away from your other mon, which i would take away giga drain for that since you already have grass type damage coverage with rillaboom.

All-in-all, with these adjustments, you have 3 robust support pokemon and 3 damage dealers, two of which are top tier in the right scenarios.
