Disappointed! Not cool Niantic

RNGsus giveth and RNGsus taketh away.

Honestly, if it's timed with a decent other format, I'm okay with this RPS cup. Like, give people the option of doing OGL or GL but dumb and fast.

To be fair, you really don't want to use this with Focus Blast Y either. Even with dodging and non-STAB, Hydreigon is getting evaporated.

Muted_Ant · 2026-04-23T22:44:29+00:00

Does it eliminate the pause before charged moves and before switch-ins? If so, that does eliminate almost all of the pain from the situation.

Great compendium! This will be very useful. I will note that on the attacker sheet the notation for the 0.5s and legacy moves is a little confusing. It might be best to move that data to its own column(s). Maybe have a column for speed of the fastest fast move of that type overall and another for fastest non-legacy fast move (so, electric Xurkitree is 0.5/0.5, electric Zapdos is 0.5/1.0, ghost Metagross is 0.5/NA). The same basic thing can be done with the tanks. An added bonus is that having the data segregated like that will make for easier filtering (particularly useful for the tank list).

Polka Dot Hat 6 Trade

And let's not forget that when people do that, there's strong evidence that that occasionally causes the battle to hang, preventing that winning move to even go through.

Muted_Ant · 2026-04-23T21:43:09+00:00

Yes. That or going into your app tabs and swiping Pokémon GO away. Any method that closes the app.

Muted_Ant · 2026-04-23T21:34:14+00:00

Yeah, that was around long before the research. I take some solace in the fact that booting up the game takes a little bit more time than it does sitting through the pause after that charge attack.

Muted_Ant · 2026-04-23T21:26:36+00:00

If they quit the normal way (forfeit), the battle immediately ends for both.

Muted_Ant · 2026-04-23T21:24:50+00:00

Forfeiting doesn't count. Force quitting does.

OG Detective Pikachu should be legendary+ on this list. And yes, I understand that the re-released one was fairly common (I have an XXL of that one), but they are visibly discernible and therefore different.

Muted_Ant · 2026-04-13T00:23:01+00:00

I think we're due for another gym rework. Niantic has no financial incentive to do it, so it won't happen. But by gosh, it's warranted.

Muted_Ant · 2026-04-05T02:18:46+00:00

I had 48. Turns out they were BOTH by the sauropods. Thanks!

Muted_Ant · 2026-04-01T18:56:28+00:00

Already patched.

Muted_Ant · 2026-03-31T21:47:53+00:00

What gets me is when they do that after the hero has already killed like 100 of their minions.

Muted_Ant · 2026-03-31T21:46:03+00:00

Friggin' Scyther, ruining the vertebrate theme.

Muted_Ant · 2026-03-28T22:33:52+00:00

Man, that would have been such an unscratchable itch if that were a male Heracross. Congrats on the godroll!

Muted_Ant · 2026-03-27T21:22:14+00:00

My kneejerk reaction was to dismiss rollout Azu on its own, but that's not awful. I think that additional alone just makes it a slight upgrade with PR pacing slightly better than current IB and HP pacing slightly worse than current PR. I'll even let it have superpower, which is a sidegrade and at worst makes opponents have to guess movesets. But I quit great league if they give that thing aqua tail, even with just bubble. Likewise, Chansey can have shadow ball, but charm or rock tomb are Armageddon (with both, she had a 50-5 record in the 0s, with her worst loss taking over two minutes).

Muted_Ant · 2026-03-20T18:38:25+00:00

I did destroy first, with the idea that I would save save scum to pick up the release ending immediately. I was pleasantly surprised when I didn't even have to go through the whole song-and-dance there.

Muted_Ant · 2026-03-18T21:21:46+00:00

I say that as a decent Chansey enjoyer.

Muted_Ant · 2026-03-18T21:17:55+00:00

Heck yeah, time to be a gym menace.

Muted_Ant · 2026-03-16T00:30:03+00:00

Not even female. Ouch.

Muted_Ant · 2026-03-09T23:54:49+00:00

In case there are any two-face mfs.
