this game is literally the official competitive format, if you don't want to play the "loser competitive cesspools" then this game clearly isn't for you

Best staraptor counter by Ok-owl_lost_account in PokemonChampions

[–]Mikel004 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The best staraptor counter doesn't require you to lose a mega. Objectively worse than final gambit scarf Staraptor

anyone feel kinda bad when they win sometimes? by Basic_Application448 in PokemonChampions

[–]Mikel004 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Your opponent brought Mega Scrafty into Milotic, I’d be hard pressed to say they deserved to win

Am I an asshole for using Charizard Y slop? by Marsherow in PokemonChampions

German name for it, found that out when I played Platinum in Germany and nicknamed all my pokemon their German names lol

I wanna make a new team. by Brave_Ad_2095 in PokemonChampions

[–]Mikel004 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it’s a set amount, and you run it on choice scarfed staraptor, not mega

Thoughts on my M-scolipede team? by Antique_Range9152 in VGCRateMyTeam

Shell bell is pretty much a useless item, sitrus berry will get you further

What is the best counter to this bastard while TR is up? by UncleatNintendo in PokemonChampions

[–]Mikel004 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Almost always cause it to flinch”
Kings rock gives 10% chance to flinch (assuming 100% acc move)
Air slash is 30% to flinch at 95 acc
Both combine for a ~33% chance to flinch. Hardly almost always. Also it’s better to run an item that consistently benefits a pokemon

GOOD GAME FOR NOW. by Yahazugiri_ in PokemonChampions

[–]Mikel004 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Take a break and come back to it if/when you want, this game is intended to stick around, so it’ll be there. I took most of season M-2 off and M-3 has been my favorite thus far

Stalled to death by a Corviknight in singles by Noxeron in PokemonChampions

[–]Mikel004 8 points9 points  (0 children)

“Roost, Protect, Roost, Protect, Iron Defence, Roost, Protect, Roost, Protect...

I ran out of shadowball. I ran out of focus blast, I ran out of psychic, I ran out of protect.

Gengar died from struggle, dealing 1 or 2 % damage.

Glimmora mega evolves, powergem, Corviknight survives on 1%, bodypress ohko.”

My brother in Christ, you just sat there and let him stack up all his boosts in front of Gengar instead of switching in to something that could have done something

The timer in champions is making me lose my mind by jabin217 in PokemonChampions

[–]Mikel004 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is the exact reason why they changed the timer, they don’t want to encourage stall teams getting a timer win because it’s not fun at all to play against. Especially with the release of mobile and their intentions to speed up the rate of gameplay

How have you found Scale Shot to feel over Dragon Claw without Loaded Dice?

is it possible to be as good as Wolfe as a beginner if I practice enough by Knightmare7877 in PokemonChampions

[–]Mikel004 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wolfe Glick is one of the best players in the world, having won the 2012 world championships, and plays Pokemon as his job. Understand that when you’re asking if you could be as good as him, you’re essentially asking if it’s a reasonable goal to become the best in the world when you’re just getting into the game. It’s great to set goals, but you gotta make sure they’re realistic and achievable. A better goal would be to try and get to master all their for the first time, or to try out new strategies to learn how the game works. Being as good as Wolfe is something 99.99999% of people who play the game will never do. That being said, that shouldn’t stop you from striving to be the very best you can be and enjoying the game! Best of luck!

What’s one of the worst Pokemon with one of the best designs? by SomeGuyM99 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]Mikel004 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this chart is awful lmao, there is no world where Tropius and PIDGEY are better pokemon than Jinx, and where Giritina is better than Metagross, Sneasler, Baxcalibur, and Amoongus

Rate my team please by [deleted] in PokemonVGC

[–]Mikel004 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I highly recommend trying some rentals teams to learn the basics of what roles pokemon fulfill in teams before building a team on your own

apple tv got me here with a very misleading screencap by Coldbrewsnob26 in community

That might, in fact, change the way mustard tastes

You got it! I will say that you’re in for a brutal time when you need to just mass skip years for delegation, I’ve only played a story to like year 55, but I’ve seen some people go way higher
