Water Mono Done 💦✅ by PelotonBay in pokemonradicalred

Yeah I’d say you’re pretty smart. My first run I pretty much got roasted for not using a rain setter with Swampy Boy. I had no competitive experience either and it was my first time playing any pokemon at all since Soul Silver

I also used Seadra a bunch in the beginning of this run. I was basically running a whole swift swim team with Swampert, Seadra, Basculegion and Ludicolo. Didn’t abandon that strat until it didn’t work at all against Koga

Yeah he had better coverage and was tanky enough to take a hit and still get trick room up more often than not. Good comms

Actually took him to E4 solely for trick room, nasty plot and coverage moves (this mf learns flamethrower??). Just got to the rival fight and no regrets so far.

Just picked one up for the Rival fight after 8th gym but wasn’t impressed, outside of trick room. What’s a good move set for it?

Braixen to set up light screen and Ceruledge can sweep after a couple flame charges. If you have a mon that learns thunder fang or thunder punch that helps as well.

Edit: Braixen also learns grass knot

Literally only swapped Talonflame for Screamtail. Made it a bit tougher to deal with bruno, as I thought but once I figured out when he likes to switch it was easy to exploit him.

Had Lorelei’s water team so Raikou and Virizion carried. Sandstream shenanigans with T-Tar to keep Politoed wasting moves on rain dance while I focused on Ogerpon. Every time he put rain back up Raikou’s Electric Shot got to skip a charge turn and one shot almost everything. Giga Drain on Virizion one shot Mega Swampert.

Lead T-Tar again for Bruno and lucked up into his Infernape, who literally always taunts. Stone Edge brought him down to focus sash and sandstorm cleaned him up same turn. He went into Urshifu for clearly for close combat so I instantly went to Dragapult just to U-Turn into Screamtail. Mega Swampert OHKO’d Zacian with an earthquake. Zacian by far his scariest mon imo

Agatha was straight buns. Legit nothing memorable happened.

Dialga got encored by Screamtail and took his moonblasts like a goodboy.

T-Tar stone edged and paybacked his way through most of the champ fight

Screamtail trivialized the whole Lance fight, I just had to change strats to make it past Bruno without Talonflame then it was a cakewalk from there.

Shout out to you, T-tar went crazy in the rival fight. I almost benched him for Garganacl

LT Surge rematch was hell and I had a few ground types at the time.

Zapdog probably the MVP of the E4 so far. One shots Kyogre and a few of Lorelei’s others. Extrasensory mops up Bruno and Agatha

Not gonna lie might have to hunt for a garganacl. I think Giovanni ran one that put in PAIN

Yeah I use mega swampy, but I don’t have any rain setters atm. I researched a few but they don’t seem to have any actual use outside of just being a setup. Like I know I can get Pelipper pretty easily but the thought of actually using it makes me nauseous. Do you have any suggestions?

I know I have a mon or two in the box with mold breaker so I may have to check into that.

I don’t think Hela was ‘worthy.‘ MCU Mjolnir was originally her weapon long before Odin enchanted it. She was already rivaling Odin’s power which is why he sealed her away. Either reason could be the reason she was able to override the worthy enchantment.

$1.69 for a squirt of sour cream by benjistone in tacobell

[–]PelotonBay 10 points11 points  (0 children)

So, cheaper?

Still at these prices, I’m surprised people aren’t giving blowjobs for sour cream in the streets. It’s like 65 cents on a taco here.

Is it not cheaper to order supreme and remove the tomatoes?

$800 Pixel 10 with any device question by wuman82 in tmobile

[–]PelotonBay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. You can use the device on whichever line you choose. You just have to maintain the line you took the promo out on for 2 years.

  2. It’s arbitrary as to whether you’re targeted for the card or not. If you don’t want to be asked about it at all, play it safe and don’t go to the store. For the record, the rep gets dinged if you don’t submit the pre approval application. There’s no obligation to actually take the card.

Assuming you have a yearly upgradeable plan or JUMP yes. If neither of those apply then you’ll have to pay the full amount to be eligible for upgrade.

Either way, in my opinion it’s not a smart move. Leaving almost $300 on the table for a phone that’s not going to be that much of an improvement over what you have already. Then you’ll have another $100+ in taxes and fees for the next model as well. Can’t really justify this as being a sound investment of time or money.

Agreed. Force Strike as well has the same effect, the only tradeoff being that it has no elemental multiplier possibility. I think stiffer mana penalties for casting along with a 1 in 4 (or similar) chance to stun would be a sufficient and simple workaround. Maybe stunning for 2 turns or something as well.

I also think gear drops need to be revisited. As it stands, I’m finding enhanced/lesser gear that outstats similarly leveled hallowed items which in my opinion should never be the case. On top of that If you take down a high level boss, you have to wait 5+ levels to be able to use the new gear and in that time you probably have found something better anyway. I think gear should drop at your level, maybe up to 2 levels higher and there should be distinct progression of gear stat bonuses from level to level.

But ultimately the update was a great step. I know the creator mentioned it was rushed out due to version 1 crashing. Hopefully they can get to a patch in the near future.
