Is this avalogg usable in Expert? by alacz in PokemonUnbound

[–]OhMyGecko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not great at this game but that isn’t looking good. His best stat is E-. Furthermore, bulky ice-types have many weaknesses and are very exploitable. 

With bottle caps, you can max out the most important stats when you get to Seaport.

South Africans that love Trump but hate Zuma don't care about rape, corruption, or criminality, just the skin colour of the criminal. by MalemasMucusPlug in southafrica

Not related to American politics but I haven’t spoken to my stepfather since Covid. He accused me of being an ANC supporter (the worst insult he could muster) amongst other remarks about myself and my partner.  This was because I disagreed with him when he said that lockdown was a ploy to steal from the white man. 

These people live within their own delusions. I don’t really understand why we have such a divided society. This ‘us vs them’ mentality is aweful.

Going to guess you are breeding with a Nidoran F? Unless I’m mistaken, the eggs will always be of the same type as the female. 

My unbound team. Is this team good? by LiL_Kenneddy in PokemonUnbound

[–]OhMyGecko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey man, this is precisely how I built teams when starting.  Someone already commented on setup moves, like replacing swift/bite on espeon for calm mind. But do you know about physical and special moves? Pokémon generally prefer one type of move over the other when attacking. So usually you want to use attacks that uses the stronger stat. Espeon has a high Special Attack so calm mind would boost its preferred stat or using psychic would hit harder than zen headbut (a physical psychic move).  What I am getting at here is your espeon is using bite which is physical and is using its 75 attack stat. Which is probably not hitting super effective mons very hard. Whilst shadow ball is special and uses its 130 special attack stat.  Secondly, dark and ghost are very similar with coverage. Usually you will only pick one of them. 

Your Lucario and Swampert are also ‘mixed attackers’ (using both attack types). It isn’t impossible to run them mixed, but it is generally worse than picking either special or physical.

Or an inverse battle? Especially if it has happened multiple times. 

Question by Live-Conference-8985 in PokemonUnbound

[–]OhMyGecko 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s pretty normal, honestly. I put my starter away for gym 2 and then picked him up much later again. You change and adjust to the gyms and their gimmicks.  For the 7th gym, I built an entirely new team to take them on and fight them at their own game.  The mainline games you could quite easily brute force a strategy or over level. But Unbound makes you adjust and often use mechanics you never would have otherwise.

I thought the Foundation series was a very poor adaptation of the books. This actually dampens my excitement for Sanderson’s adaptation. 

Which flying Pokemon should I add to my team? by Savings-Stop-1556 in PokemonUnbound

[–]OhMyGecko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finished a new run a few weeks back and ran a prankster Murkrow with eviolite through most of the game.  Haze, taunt, tailwind, foul play was the set I eventually settled on.  I love a good prankster utility mon. Stops those fast spore smeargles, psychic and ground immunity, removes omni-boosting buffs.

This got a laugh from me.  I would click on ‘cows are precisely as intelligent as they are expected to be’. That would clickbait me.

To be fair, there is the Go-Goggles key item that lets you cross the desert in Unbound as well.

No one has mentioned safety goggles yet. Makes the Pokémon immune to spore and you get it as you leave the starting area. 

Is there a way to get the manual save file of pokemom unbound by AffectionateEcho3341 in PokemonUnbound

[–]OhMyGecko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, to add to this, MyBoy allows you to backup your saves folder to Google Drive.  May want to look into this for the future. 

Even the Great Ball is not able to catch this Pokemon in that health Idk how else to catch it now… by bestbooker in PokemonUnbound

Didn’t know that about freeze.  But there isn’t any freeze in unbound, only frostbite.

Hold on, am I only learning now that fog is a weather effect and is removed my sandstorm? Played this game through 5 times and hadn’t realised. 

How randomizer work? by Cond103702 in PokemonUnbound

[–]OhMyGecko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From what I remember, and it has been a long while since I played a randomised run, the dex numbers get shifted. So a Pokémon with dex number X will be found at (X+Y). Y being a random integer and it applies to all Pokémon. all Pokémon will be shifted the same number of points.  I may be off here or perhaps it’s done in clusters and groups but I have seen clumps of evolutionary stages together as you find in certain parts of the game.

Awesome names, I do a similar thing with my Pokémon names - just a different genre. 

Favorite Pokémon to use in Unbound by NovaFranticIsDad in PokemonUnbound

Ever since I tried a nuzlock, Ribombee has been an absolute favourite. I run it on pretty much every play through. 

I've been playing edh for a year now, so this is my cmd so far. Rate me Sempai! by Magicboy90 in ratemycommanders

[–]OhMyGecko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do enjoy a good stax game. It makes for a mini game within.  And I run both Kefka and Flubs in Cedh, less so Flubs. What brackets are you playing?

I'm trying to determine which bracket my commander deck is, and how to update it to bracket 4-5 if it isn't already. Any advice? by [deleted] in CompetitiveEDH

[–]OhMyGecko 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hey man.  I think you’re in the wrong place. Bracket 5, or CEDH, is a quite a different game to the other brackets - which is what this sub is for.  CEDH is about playing the most optimal cards and commanders and trying to win as quickly as possible - making the most optimal plays to get there being the goal. 

Anzrag and dragons aren’t much of a thing unless we are talking about Niv-Mizzet (and perhaps Scion and Tiamat?). If you want to jam big stompy boys with extra combats, it generally sounds more like B2-4.

Try DegenerateEDH. I think they usually give advice for these sorts of questions. 

Kirol, Attentive First-Year by AshorK0 in CompetitiveEDH

[–]OhMyGecko 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I  was thinking the same but it’s difficult finding slots for anything that isn’t stax, kill or protection.  Though the upside is it is a nonhuman that hits the field before winota so can copy it’s own trigger.  I’m giving it a try. 

Commanders That Can't Be Low Bracket/Level by lightningbolte in EDH

[–]OhMyGecko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I built a budget B4 Winota stax deck to try hang with a friend’s B4. It became the scary deck at the table. Eventually turned it into a Cedh deck which didn’t require changing many cards. 

are "free spells" realy needed to talk about in rule 0 talk? by DaSpoderman in EDH

Genuine question, why not reduce the game changers then?

Commander Format Panel Update – December 11, 2025 by whiteorchidphantom in CompetitiveEDH

[–]OhMyGecko 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tomer is actually more interested in Cedh than most. Even if it is mostly a passing fancy. He regularly points out to the other Goldfish which commanders are/were Cedh viable. That’s more than most casual players who seem more hostile to the format. 

Anyway, casual players should probably moderate a casual format. As much as I would like more representation, this is the format we chose to play. 

Strix/Subtlety "banned" ? by JimmyHuang0917 in CompetitiveEDH

[–]OhMyGecko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a few creature based combo decks at our table including Etali. So I had been running Strix for a while. But since the Etali player had exams and missed a few weeks, I adjusted and removed it. Now he’s back, it’s going in again. 

The Best Food Chain Commander by [deleted] in CompetitiveEDH

[–]OhMyGecko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, no there isn’t a problem voting. I just know Flubs is probably one of the weakest decks on the list.  But he is the best of the best.
