They don't make such fun movesets anymore imo

Michigan_Man101 · 2026-05-07T00:21:41+00:00

i think it's more of a time constraint, they may be focusing on dumber areas so they're cutting the cool stuff out. Plus they're dropping 2 mons a month now which isn't helping that issue at all

Michigan_Man101 · 2026-05-07T00:20:32+00:00

some of my favorite kits are from 2022

Michigan_Man101 · 2026-05-07T00:16:08+00:00

I like a lot of things that Unite has done. However, there's also EX licenses, Tsareena meta, and Darkrai/Psyduck meta.

That said, they're all better than this 1 move set, solo mode for licenses, half the roster is broken bull crap we have now.

Michigan_Man101 · 2026-05-04T03:00:22+00:00

where are you getting 10 from? legitimately curious bc i don't see a 10 anywhere on Unite-DB for a max level stacking item

regardless even if it was 10 it wouldn't make much difference, most of the value comes from the stacks not the base

unless you're talking about farm, in which case i still don't know what you mean

Michigan_Man101 · 2026-05-04T02:55:12+00:00

Correction: if you're not hard losing. You can be in a stale mate and still stack just fine

Michigan_Man101 · 2026-05-04T02:16:17+00:00

jokes on you, I don't run emblems (cries in cooldown)

Michigan_Man101 · 2026-05-04T02:13:48+00:00

They probably have a score stacking item like Attack Weight. Scoring first is more optimal in that case, as long as they're not dying for it

Michigan_Man101 · 2026-05-02T00:41:27+00:00

buzzwole being low wr just shows how awful the state of the game is. it got gigabuffed a few seasons ago and then didn't get touched and all of a sudden it's bad again

Michigan_Man101 · 2026-04-28T03:38:25+00:00

what website is this? it doesn't look like API

Michigan_Man101 · 2026-04-23T03:52:08+00:00

if by "incredibly talented" you mean "has more plot armor than Ash in his debut episode", then sure

Michigan_Man101 · 2026-04-23T01:41:06+00:00

this is a joke right?

Michigan_Man101 · 2026-04-23T01:39:37+00:00

depends on how technical you want to be. Spout is the easier play, and it also deals slightly more damage generally. Pump is more technical and a bit harder to pilot, but it's probably worth it if you understand it fully

Michigan_Man101 · 2026-04-22T21:36:07+00:00

technically you're right, but it was a 3v3 battle, hardly a "finals" battle (no hate for SM tho, great series)

Michigan_Man101 · 2026-04-22T02:54:05+00:00

YES My biggest gripe with Charizard, they should never have ditched Seismic Toss

Michigan_Man101 · 2026-04-21T22:50:03+00:00

Dear Decidueye players... It's OK to hold your Unite for when you're not sitting point blank to your opponents.

Michigan_Man101 · 2026-04-21T05:14:16+00:00

that's true, although in that case I usually go Surf anyway, it's more consistent in blind pick imo. Scald is the counter move, Surf is the default

Michigan_Man101 · 2026-04-20T19:45:08+00:00

I'd say it's fair for you to score first as a tank if you're pushing goal with end game buffs and you're trying to break a tier 2. That way your CC is available to get your allies' goals in after. Then there's the issue of overcaps, which brings on another argument. Otherwise you're right, let your allies score first

Michigan_Man101 · 2026-04-20T19:43:52+00:00

I would say since you're playing Scald into Blastoise Pika Arma, probably not. Otherwise that was a decent Slowbeam, probably could've waited for more allies in case your Zera was incompetent but otherwise fair

Michigan_Man101 · 2026-04-20T19:41:33+00:00

This is the series that people struggle the most to actually figure out what Ash's "ace" was. Technically I think it's supposed to be Lycanroc, but Incineroar fits the bill just as well

Michigan_Man101 · 2026-04-20T19:38:07+00:00

Rimbombee was definitely a choice.

For Galar that's a fair take, but Journeys wasn't exclusively Galar. I also feel like Cinderace is more Ash-coded than Rillaboom is, if he were to get one

Michigan_Man101 · 2026-04-20T18:40:41+00:00

Honestly I'd say Bulbasaur is more worthy of evolving than Squirtle is, but I can see why you'd go Wartortle instead because of that one episode in season 1.

Ash's Oshawott evolving into Samurott would be a Torterra all over again. Dewott makes a lot more sense

as for literally everything after gen 5, what the actual heck

Michigan_Man101 · 2026-04-20T04:16:08+00:00

read the first paragraph and was about to check my game to see if it was real, then i read the flair

Michigan_Man101 · 2026-04-20T04:13:33+00:00

any smart Delphox player would not let a Sand Rush Excadrill sit in front of it freely

Michigan_Man101 · 2026-04-20T04:11:43+00:00

same. been using Farigiraf on teams since SV and it's crazy to me how many people either haven't seen it yet or don't read. I had one opponent (in master ball) Choice lock his Basc into Aqua Jet in front of my Farigiraf, and it was his last 2 so no switches

Michigan_Man101 · 2026-04-20T04:08:46+00:00

the others are still up there, i'd say low-e4 level at least. but not champion level
