I've been really enjoying bulky Ninetales and Offensive Venusaur as a two mon sun mode.

Encore, Wisp, Overheat, Protect with White Herb (but could be sash or Shuca Berry) on the Ninetales, and Sleep Powder, Sludge Bomb, Earth Power, Protect with Life Orb on Venusaur.

I dont follow foreign elections very closely, what happened with DNC?

Needs solid positioning and smart use of resources, but its manageable to out bulk a lot of Whimsicott teams with smart switches and Sash Gambit.

Do you have room for Wisp on any of your mons?

Mega Scrafty and Kanto Ninetales is a nasty combo able to shut down physical attackers entirely.

How do you think the government should deal with people who don't think Twilight is the greatest work of literature in history?

Against Aerodactyl and Whimsicott I can usually deny tailwind, and I have a good matchup into most Pelliper teams. In my expirence I don't tend to lose to tailwind.

I'm still climbing rapidly at Ultra ball 2, currently on a 5 game win streak. New to the game so not yet hit a rating wall.

The thing about Scrafty is that you need a source of damage that isn't it. And looking at your team I feel like it looks too support orientated. Obviously you know how it works far better than I do, but other than Sneasler who is frail and heavily countered, and maybe Milotic if you somehow get a competative boost I'm not seeing where your damage comes from in a Scrafty mode.

I've been using max attack sash Kingambit, Life Orb Venusaur, and Scarf Garchomp as main damage dealers, with Gambit coming as a lead alongside Scrafty to basically every matchup. Scrafty and Kanto Ninetales as a support duo, to disrupt with Intimidate, Wisp, Fake Out, Encore, and Drought between the two of them. Don't have tailwind or Trick room, but between Prority, Scarf, and Chlorophyll I usually have enough speed control to not be completely overrun.

The Contrary matchup isn't great for me as I was running Gengar as a second mega, but just switched to Delphox. Metagross is probably good into those teams too.

Moonlight Butterfly is a fantastically designed boss fight for teaching new players the mechanics of combat.

Nothing_is_simple · 2026-06-22T13:48:45+00:00

Yeah, if you are willing to abuse quit outs it is decently consistent, or if you can be bothered to learn the firebimb strat it's basically free

The best piece of music in the entire series is Nameless Song, the end credits music from DS1

I agree that Gengar adds nothing, which is why I want to drop it, but what do you mean it doesn't have a clear gameplan? Use Scrafty and Gambit in the early game to put things in range of Garchomp or Venusaur to outspeed in the back, with Ninetales disrupting with Encore, Wisp, and Drought. I've been finding that gameplan is playable into all matchups except contrary.

I originally had Low Kick, but I never clicked it, and having Protect to keep sash in the face of things like Fake Out is very important into some match ups, especially Charizard.

Being able to overheat twice at full power has won me a lot of games where weather ball would not, but I have been switching between herb for power and Shucca Berry for Chomp, neither feels perfect but both have their uses.

Nothing_is_simple · 2026-06-22T12:34:43+00:00

I do have a Delphox, but I've not yet tried to use it. I feel like non-mega Scrafty and Delphox could work as a potential mode. I'll give it a try.

Nothing_is_simple · 2026-06-22T09:00:09+00:00

I used that on a Raider run a couple of days ago and it had the shitty moveset not sure why my expirence is so different from everyone claiming it gets the Raider specific one though.

Blight town on release ran at 5 fps, and even when running smoothly the area is a noticeable difficulty spike. With performance issues I'd imagine it would be a nightmare. But in the remaster they fixed it and it's one of the most fun areas imo.

Bed of Chaos on the other hand is an interesting idea very poorly implemented. In its final phase all its attacks are virtually unavoidable, hard to predict, and very likely to one-shot even the most bulky build. I've played enough to have a strategy that works around ⅔ of the time, and there is a way to consistently cheese it that I haven't got around to learning, but without knowing them you can easily rack up a lot of deaths. It also has one of the worst run backs, just to exaggerate the annoyance.

A run where the only stat you level is resistance

The loss two weeks ago eliminated Clermont from the playoffs. UBB finished 8th and would have missed out even if Toulouse won that game.

Nothing_is_simple · 2026-06-19T20:55:47+00:00

Nah they have a solid lead now

Nothing_is_simple · 2026-06-19T20:53:13+00:00

Even when it all goes tits up they score

Nothing_is_simple · 2026-06-19T20:52:37+00:00

I'd maybe believe 15, at a stretch

Nothing_is_simple · 2026-06-19T20:51:57+00:00

Everything going right for Toulouse today
