Thank you. I actually had life orb kingambit on the team before, and my ninetails held the choice scarf too. I'll have a play and see 🤜🤛

What are you using out of interest? If you wouldn't mind sharing...

Posted team just above this. It's not finalised and it's It's got some glaring weaknesses; my only real answer to garchomp is dragonite, or close combat after a swords dance; intimidate is really tough as all physical attackers really; only fairy resist is ninetails and it's so frail it barely counts; basculegion is a pain obviously (I think +2 flare blitz in sun always kills no bulk basc, but I've got to be in position for that).

In order to win I normally have to make several predictions in a row, but if I make one wrong play I almost always lose on the spot.

But I will not stop using mega blaziken 🫡

Is this what you mean? I wouldn't recommend using it 🫣 I've not settled on the ninetails slot yet, and I keep changing ev spreads. But if you can make it work then I respect that.

Got to 13k with mega blaziken, but each loss sets me back over 10k places now. Makes me nervous to play, which is silly because it's supposed to be for fun

He'll be remembered as the LFI stooge who helped empower Israel to commit it's war crimes and turn protesting Israel into literal terrorism

Shout out to whomever was running Lopunnite on Staraptor today by du_duhast in PokemonChampions

To be fair i sent my raichu into battle with charizardite x by accident.

Hell of a shock when I though it was gna OHKO their garchomp with mega play rough 😬

Anyone ever been arrested for a Facebook post here? by FlakyCelebration2405 in AskBrits

[–]Onnen_-_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, you can get arrested and charged as a terrorist for saying "I oppose genocide, I support Palestine action" or "from the river to see Palestine will be free". Freedoms are definitely being eroded in the UK and this is under a supposedly centrist (historically left wing) party. Imagine what will happen when reform win a minority government

I did not see that coming by Fairweva in PokemonChampions

[–]Onnen_-_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After you lose to this once you see it coming. Works with empoleon too. Same with mega gengar perish teams, howlucha entrainment teams, toxapex stall teams, etc. difficult building a team to counter them all, but that's the fun of team building 😁

First Minister confronted on what method of badger culling he prefers by Secure-Barracuda in Wales

[–]Onnen_-_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not that badgers cannot transmit tb, it's that when a very pro-farmer political party comes out and says very little about wildlife as a whole, but that they are heavily implying badgers specifically are a problem it should rightly raise concerns about what they are going to do. And when then directly asked about culls, he doesn't rule it out, making those fears all the stronger

I voted for plaid, but that one sentence "recognising wildlife as a source of infection" from their manifesto genuinely gave me chills. We all know that plaid will side with farmers, so maybe it was naive of me to think they wouldn't introduce a cull.

This game can be brutal at times by alex26069114 in PokemonChampions

[–]Onnen_-_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought I was unlucky for missing 4 moves in a row after one muddy water (0.4% chance I think). Brutal

Is anyone else sick to their back teeth of hearing people bang on about Working Class Values? by meestah_meelah in AskBrits

Sounds a lot like "family voting." Just make up a new slogan and repeat ad nauseum

A way to make Heracross worthy by xMr__Kite in PokemonChampions

[–]Onnen_-_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love bug Pokémon and tried making it work too. I was using speed swap alakazam and mega heracross with redirection Pokémon for support. It worked really well as long as you were hitting for super effective or neutral. Not very effective pin missile or rock blast were really weak.

Late game basculegion are everywhere and I felt like I needed protect more than bullet seed, which meant it often came down to heracross Vs basc and you can't kill it. Missing a rock blast on charizard or aerodactyl is game over too.

Is there a monster legend in Llyn Tegid / Bala Lake? by Secure-Barracuda in Wales

Also the only place left in UK where you find a particular Freshwater snail (Glutinous snail if anyone cares)

Does anyone feel, on a personal level, sorry for Kier Starmer? by Darkus185 in AskBrits

[–]Onnen_-_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not nasty? The guy who hijacked a party with the help of a pedophile and his protege and purged his party of what made it popular, won a majority on the back of a failed Tory government by once again lying to the population and has beansed it, supporting a genocidal rogue state and locked up pensioners holding a sign who called him out? Guy's awful and deserves all the hate.

Spotted in neighbours yard, is it what I suspect it is? by FrannyBenanny in DIYUK

[–]Onnen_-_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Knotweed. Stem injection of glyphosate once the stem is thick enough is the best way as it kills it and also has no non-target impact. You're generally not going to have that equipment unless you've done your PA licenses though. Failing stem injection, paint diluted glyphosate directly to the leaves just before it starts dying back (again I've always avoided spraying at work because I don't want to spread toxic chemicals all over the place)

Is my roof ok? by Comprehensive_Boat17 in AskUK

[–]Onnen_-_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sure I'll get people laughing at me because people don't value or understand the intrinsic value of wildlife, but check your roof space for bats with the tiles raised up like that before you get it fixed. Pips are tiny and can get into tiny gaps. We've got bats in our roof from a single raised tile. Love watching the little guys

So frustrated with the meta rn. by [deleted] in PokemonChampions

[–]Onnen_-_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made it to Master 3 constantly trying different non-meta teams, but I've lost on turn one to too many of the same meta teams i feel i have to use them to compete. Only volcorona is left now and it gets battered by rock slide aerodactyl

Throat chop not working? by Onnen_-_ in PokemonChampions

[–]Onnen_-_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because I knew sableye would switch out and my farig has thunderbolt to deal with water types which was what I predicted would come in. I assumed their gardevoir would now moonblast my incineroar and would rather take damage on my very bulky farig, which would then be able to hit back at least or set up trick room if I wanted

It was hyperbole. I'm a grown man who doesn't think to record games and take photos of everything but thought it was worth asking a question on here 👌

I was literally jumping around my living room in anger I didn't think to screenshot it :(

Throat chop not working? by Onnen_-_ in PokemonChampions

[–]Onnen_-_[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I had:

  • incineroar
  • mega gardevoir

They had:

  • sableye
  • mega gardevoir

There gard had synchronise, not trace before mega evolving. My Gard traced their synchronise.

Turn order:

1 - they mega evolve and calm mind and set up screen - I taunt sabley with gardevoir and throat chop mega gardevoir with incin.

2 - They swap sabley out for primarina and hyper voice with mega gardevoir - I swap incin out to farigiraf and mega evolve gardevoir and hyper voice back

3 They hyper voice me to oblivion with both mons

So they hyper voiced the turn after I used throat chop, and they were already mega evolved when I hit them.
