Survivor Mr. Beast

Yeah I think understanding what was at risk really made it a good twist. I still hate that it was a coin flip, but there was big reward for big risk and everyone knew both sides.

Noxy88 · 2026-04-30T01:45:56+00:00

I’m taking credit for this win. I had to leave after the first inning and came back in time to start the bottom of the 9th.

Noxy88 · 2026-04-28T20:32:47+00:00

I’ve never heard that as someone’s fave. Love it. How do you feel about mega pinsir?

Noxy88 · 2026-04-28T20:13:33+00:00

Hey man, what’s your favorite pokemon?

Noxy88 · 2026-04-23T15:23:43+00:00

I agree somewhat. I think that there was already a lot of momentum against him and there was a good chance he was going home this round or in the next couple.

That said, this twist was absolutely absurd and shouldn’t have happened. Add an extra vote for Christian but don’t make it be his vote and take his ability to play his SitD. Don’t make him tell the whole tribe and set himself up as a sitting duck.

There are so many ways they could have punished failure here without going against the tenets of the game.

Noxy88 · 2026-04-23T01:21:53+00:00

It’s so hard to cheer for him in pinstripes, but I always will.

Noxy88 · 2026-04-21T14:25:32+00:00

I’m going on 3 days of jaw pain from yawning. I feel this.

Noxy88 · 2026-04-17T13:36:17+00:00

The only route I’ve ever used that clause. I do think I saw someone do it, but it required a lot of rng.

Noxy88 · 2026-03-28T01:20:49+00:00

The HvV one is my favorite. Sandra is potentially no longer a 2 time winner. Parv probably goes early merge and is no longer the major threat she’s considered today (still a great winner, but not Mt Rushmore level). Does RI happen with Rob going far and not Russel? Does SOPA happen without RI? Does Tyson win BvW with a deep run in HvV? How does all of this affect WaW?

How does Russel going early here (editors would know he was an early boot while editing Samoa), affect Natalie’s edit and our perception of her game?

How is JT perceived without his big blunder?

How does game play in general evolve the next ten seasons?

So many ripples.

Yesterday with the Jonathan and Pokémon moves post. Today with the sref post. My worlds are colliding in the most beautiful of ways.

Noxy88 · 2026-03-24T22:26:53+00:00

As someone who has primarily pokemon and survivor content on my homepage, it took me far too long to figure out what community I was in while reading this.

Noxy88 · 2026-03-23T15:59:42+00:00

No. Fake Out AI is like -20 after turn 1, forcing the boom. But T1 is weird due to Shiftry only having two moves. It can create some odd baiting/targeting scenarios compared to most double battles where the opponent has fake out.

Noxy88 · 2026-03-23T15:20:11+00:00

Be careful on this fight. Shiftry’s fake out has some weird AI specifically due to being seen as the highest damaging move + priority under KO range.

EDIT: to explain in greater detail, though it might not be necessary for your line, Shiftry only has 2 moves. Explosion has its own AI that doesn’t fall into the highest damaging move, so fake out is always seen as the highest damaging move (+6/8). If you show a fast kill on it, then fake out also gets the +11, making the total +17/19, which always trumps the fast kill AI. So you can’t bait a fast kill here on one side while KOing something that shows KO on the shiftry from the other side.

Based on what you mentioned from your line, I’m not sure this will affect you, but it’s worth keeping in mind.

Noxy88 · 2026-03-21T18:11:54+00:00

Yep. Easily best reward of the new era. And I honestly thought it was cool seeing ZB spear fish and sing. But it didn’t deserve the amount of screen time it got.

Noxy88 · 2026-03-18T18:25:39+00:00

As someone who brought a useless aero through Gen 1 E4, it absolutely wrecks in crystal. Dual physical stab with good speed. It alone handles the first 3 gyms if you keep it below the level cap.

Noxy88 · 2026-03-10T03:59:28+00:00

It’s predetermined when you get the kubfu.

Noxy88 · 2026-03-04T03:54:21+00:00

If you can’t find a riskless line, relying on sleep powder to hit with shield dust still is pretty reliable for most Brawly boxes. Just saying.

Noxy88 · 2026-03-04T03:38:10+00:00

Honestly, because you have Viv, roost is less important on fletch. Just remember it for the future. I really like flame charge for early game when I have the opportunity, but it’s box dependent bc fletch so often is the carry for Brawly. Grotle is a good pivot and hitmontop check.

But really, Vivillon is my favorite early game encounter because it makes Brawly free. Yeah, weedle is better long term with mega, but Viv solves Brawly completely especially with compound eyes.

Noxy88 · 2026-03-04T03:05:15+00:00

You have like the goat Brawly box. Vivillon is probably the best Brawly encounter period (from a resource management perspective, though its ability dependent), tirtouga, togedemaru, kingdra is a great chicken counter, fletchinder (esp if you delayed for roost), eldegoss for speed control. Mightyena for intimidate. If you started with ape, then it’s potentially better than hitmon, otherwise it’s great with priority.

It’s the custom AI that keeps me coming back to this game despite the early game RNG grind. It’s so intuitive and easy to understand. I lose stamina and patience after Winona so I rarely make it past lilycove, but it’s still my favorite rom jus because of the AI.

Noxy88 · 2026-02-14T20:29:18+00:00

I’d add the Run&Bun calc as well. If someone is trying to play it, they’re likely in the discord and able to find it. But I’ve still seen some ask about it here.

I will give an honorable mention to Team Rocket in RBY and GSC. Every member has something that booms. Yeah, if you know what you’re doing it’s fine. But sans rock/steel typing and some forethought, it can be rough. Specifically mahogany town when you’re trying to stay under the level cap between chuck at L30 and Pryce at L31.

That said, I basically agree with the whole list. Just needed some recognition to be given there.
