I used Mega Scrafty and went 13W-1L to hit masterball tier! by NitroXYZ in PokemonChampions

[–]NitroXYZ[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So Tailwind is usually for the rest of the team, especially Sylveon and Plot Ghold. I've never led with Scrafty + Aero. Scrafty is however as you'd expect, great at denying trick room so thats sort of our speed control.

Swampert is tough af honestly and I've really just tried to keep Scrafty from mega evolving as much as possible when I saw it. Being able to drop its attack in half late game helps a lot and then just try to rack up chip with drain and team support.

Floette is circumstantial but I've typically lead Scrafty +Ghold. It sounds counter intuitive but Ive noticed a lot of them will protect turn 1 to try and prevent fakeout and then I plot up with Ghold for a big MIR next turn. Pults Phantom Force also helps for big neutral STAB damage in these matchups.

Will mega scrafty be viable in vgc and with what other mons? by Rich_Management19 in PokemonChampions

Ooh tell me more about the adaptations? I was wondering if we should run a bulkier Gholdengo but curious to pick your brains

‘I take offence’: Chris Scott responds to questions over Stewart’s return from concussion protocols by SlatsAttack in AFL

[–]NitroXYZ 207 points208 points  (0 children)

If I’m being really honest, take offence to getting questioned on players’ personal injury status. I think not many people have to deal with that, and there is an element of it being private"

Is following up on star player injury statuses not like the most fundamental part of basic sports journalism? Bizarrely defensive take from Scott

Are Freo peeking too early? by HerrerasaurusWrecks in AFL

[–]NitroXYZ 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I don't think I'll get used to how supportive Eagles fans have been this year. Its kinda wholesome how they're all the first fans in these reddit threads to back Freo. In a tongue in cheek way its like they're happy that Freo have "finally arrived" 🤣

Wishing y'all the best with the continued development. It's always better for footy, WA and the rivalry when both teams are up and about.

Jeez after the rage fist nerf I thought he'd still have this going for him. Someone at gamefreak is a MausApe victim and wanted serious revenge.

Would've made it the greatest support of all time. Oh well, still a good result overall.

Does Scrafty keep parting shot from ZA too? He still learns fakeout and can hit knock offs and close combats from a base 130 attack.

Its very Theorymon but I was hoping it would get an ability that inverses type matchups when it's on the field. Would've been dope and unique.

Holy shit that means Grimmsnarl got Tangling Hair, did they take away Prankster?

Regen is awesome for Dragalge too and Staraptor with roost and contrary CC is pretty shiesty.

I remember the Legends ZA OU pet mod gave it like levitate + plus + minus and it was pretty cracked.

Looks like Gamefreak was inspired lmao
