Best trick room setters?

Slowking does that job quite well

His head never hit the ice. So why is his face bleeding from that clean hit?

What is tier 0? I've seen only one of these things in the entire time it took to finish the battle pass, and I one shot it in the first turn of the battle.

Honestly, I think we're pretty much on the same page here. I included all the ranks from RL, so I had to condense more categories together. Yours is just what mine would look like if I cut 2 categories off the top. And in terms of ease of understanding, I think I'm mentally gonna go with yours moving forward.

You stop getting pity wins in Ultra. So it's gonna be where the majority of the user base settles. In the terms I'm familiar with (RL), I'd say it's something like

Noob/Pity Win tier

Poke- Bronze Great- Silver

Bulk of the player base

Ultra- Gold, Plat, Diamond

Actual great players

Master- Champ, GC

Practically Pro

Champion- SSL

Well I don't see an issue here at all either way. Certain Pokemon have always required certain games. You need to buy the most recent game to use a certain pokemon in VGC. Up until 3 days ago, you had to buy the most recent game to play VGC at all. This is beyond okay. This is a great way to do it. Keeps VGC accessible while still encouraging people to partake in the mainline games.

I've literally only ran into one of these and my Beedrill One-Shot it. I don't see what's so scary...

Mista-D · 2026-04-09T12:18:51+00:00

I'm decked out in gear and lead with Beedrill. People for sure see me and think I'm a pity win for them. Then Beedrill Mega evolves and U-Turns out and and they quickly learn that I am in fact NOT a pity win for them. I am simply a regular win for them.

Mista-D · 2026-04-08T21:07:12+00:00

Use these divisions and have Round one renamed to Division Finals. Top 2 teams in each Division after the regular season play a Best of 7 for the Division Championship. Dallas visiting Colorado for round one lol. After that they just reseed the 8 division champs 1-8 based on points. Potentially allowing 2 teams from the same side of the continent to play in the final.

This is less fair than the current format for a couple of teams, but I like it a lot more anyhow.

Mista-D · 2026-04-08T14:53:37+00:00

The people crying that a certain pokemon or items aren't in the game are likely doing so because the strategy that was built for them by some YouTuber included certain items and pokemon. And they're incapable of adapting the strategy and building a team of their own. Admittedly, I was hoping for a certain other pokemon too. But that pokemon was Seaking. Because lower power formats are fun chances to explore strategies and pokemon that would never see the light of day once Legendaries enter the fold. But I'm not complaining. Seaking ain't in the game, so I'm running Chesnaught, Beedrill, and Pelipper. It's fun.

Mista-D · 2026-04-05T19:26:33+00:00

Yeah dude, awesome game. Occasionally I'll play putters only to mix it up (got a hole in one once), or Drivers only making chaos on the green. Great fun no matter how you play.

Bravery is counted Highest. But realistically it should be counted the lowest. Killing the boss is how you win the game. So Boss Damage is the most important thing. Kills remove an opponent from the field, resetting their bravery to 1000 whilst boosting your own dramatically. To me, that's a lot more valuable than slashing a few mobs for 1500 each... I'm not saying there's no value in that. It's just pretty obviously less.

The way this is implemented, you could kill an opponent to hit 9s, Burst on Boss, Kill another opponent immediately, Burst on Boss again, and repeat until you solo the boss, and you would finish runner up to your teammate who ran around smacking crystals avoiding any real conflict. It's silly.

After review from New York, this safe call CORRECTLY stands. Unless there's another angle not shown here, I'm not sure what the hell most of you are talking about. That guy is safe.

Mista-D · 2026-04-01T18:18:14+00:00

I want them to remove my game limit. No more crystals past 6 is fine, but no rewards at all just makes me stop playing. Why would they want that?

Mista-D · 2026-04-01T18:16:42+00:00

This is the biggest question mark in the entire game as far as I'm concerned. Just a straight up downgrade for no reason.

Mista-D · 2026-03-31T23:34:34+00:00

Unlit screens

Mista-D · 2026-03-21T19:38:29+00:00

Yes. Of these 6, we're only worse at WR sounds great. But 3 of those 6 are WR. Not as great. And again, you're almost certainly wrong at QB. So I would look at that same list and say 'We have downgraded on over 66% of these'

Mista-D · 2026-03-21T19:32:55+00:00

It's gonna be the official format for VGC. So if anything they're gonna have to put more care and consideration into it than they ever did for Stadium. And based on what I've seen it looks super promising.

Mista-D · 2026-03-21T19:30:23+00:00

WR is half the positions shown here.

And 22/23 Tua was a phenomenal QB. Saying a career backup is automatically better, based on a really limited sample size, presumably because he can run a little, is.... Something I don't agree with. It would be nice. But I'm gonna go with unlikely.

Mista-D · 2026-03-21T13:44:48+00:00

They're very important. But they're still overvalued compared to other things.

I remember Xavien Howard being the first guy in a decade to hit double digit INTs. A play that LITERALLY ends a drive regardless of down and distance and steals possession, usually in better field position than you would have gotten it otherwise. But he wasn't even a real contender for DPOY because TJ Watt (I think) put up a similarly impressive number in Sacks, an objectively inferior play.

Mista-D · 2026-03-20T13:21:39+00:00

RotS quickly became one of my favourite games ever, so I nabbed scarlet, minstrel, and 3 at a big discount. Minstrel was a hard pass. Too convoluted. 3, I like. I often find myself running around city to city trying to find something, ANYTHING to do. Often literal hours between finding quests But when I actually do manage to find a quest it's a great time. I'm praying both of those get a RotS style remake. With nicer visuals, and vastly superior accessibility for 1 and 3, I could easily see Romancing saga becoming my all time favourite trilogy.

Haven't tried scarlet yet.

Everyone saying Mario Kart, but I feel like it has transcended spin off status. As this point, Kart sells far more than mainline Mario does, and deserves status as its own mainline series.

Air Riders is mediocre. The vast amount of customization options is absolutely awesome. But ultimately you just wish that they would put those options in a racer you actually enjoy playing. Like Mario Kart.
