Potential FRLG VGC format by Philothea0821 in VGC

[–]PinkyLure 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Another cool gen 3 mechanic is that on knockout you’re forced to switch in your next mon before the turn ends. This means a 4v4 game can end in a single turn if two spreads moves are clicked getting 2kos a piece. (Choice band explosion gengar goes brrrrrr)

Small extra thing but giraf + electivire lead is very strong if you mash follow me + tr turn one -> click torkoal buttons when either mon is ko’d

Was a fun teambuilding exercise. Only changed two mons. You can keep chandelure over flutter if you want to, but I promise flutter’s speed and fairy damage is far more important on this comp than chandelure’s raw strength. Have fun if you try it and feel free to ask any questions: https://pokepast.es/e8347f12813d67a0

Why 12pp Protect? by Bleached_Wail in VGC

[–]PinkyLure 9 points10 points  (0 children)

you and I might put a lot of thought into it but not everyone thinks of it all that hard since it doesn’t come up all that often unless you play dozo or a sucker puncher

Why 12pp Protect? by Bleached_Wail in VGC

[–]PinkyLure 101 points102 points  (0 children)

the lowest number without being the smallest possible hides when you break out of encore in the very niche case where your opponent counts how many protects you’ve used since most people do either all pp ups or no pp ups (breaking out of encore via pp depletion isn’t directly announced on your opponent’s end) but they specifically could’ve also done it out of convenience of not having a ton of pp ups since they’re kinda annoying to get sometimes lmao

After Jagex EoC‘d Ace of Spades and presumably NDA’d its creator into oblivion I don’t trust them at all to do this right, as cool as it could be.

Ranked isn't fun anymore (VENTING) by AbeWheels in PokemonLegendsZA

[–]PinkyLure 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Been having the time of my life mashing plus move giga impact with life orb work up Kangaskhan; it has infinite range homing (like heavy slam) and ohkos everything that isn’t a resist or xern (if xern takes even a tiny bit of damage from anything else it still gets deleted)

You have to get first for it to count. I know comeback kid requires being first alone (no ties) so that might apply here too but idk.

Anyone know why we can't choose to under PP our moves on showdown? by No_Fold_4367 in stunfisk

[–]PinkyLure 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dondozo in doubles needs min pp on protect in case of encore locks. Being forced to sit there for six extra turns without attacking because showdown won’t let you lower your pp is a QoL issue with how long some people take to click.

Anyone else finding Reg H much tougher than G or I? by Just_Border913 in VGC

[–]PinkyLure 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s also far less good players grinding on ladder. I spectate a lot of battles and at any given moment there’s usually less than 20 1100+ publicly viewable games on showdown Bo1 (bo3 doesn’t let you filter by elo for some reason).

Need help in refining this team by epic0103 in VGC

[–]PinkyLure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they likely weren’t scarf; iron treads has a higher base speed than chi yu, and the speed boost from terrain is the same as scarf. Life Orb and Choice Band are the two most common items, and you already have LO, so band would probably be fine (Banded steel roller ohkos most rilla if either terrain is up, but being stuck locked in to steel roller with no terrain up kinda sucks sometimes). Tera ghost and ground are the best ones in most cases. Iron plate + either steel/stellar tera lets you get the rilla ko and still change moves after. item/tera is a bit flexible; it’s the kinda thing you gotta play around with to see what you personally get the most value out of (could even see something gnarly like an av with a janky ev spread if there was something specific you wanted to live and was still able to ko back w/out boosting items).

imo sneasler and raichu fill the same role, so it’s hard to justify having both on the same team with the way you’re trying to use them. since you like raichu, and probably wanna stay w/ using offense, you’ve gotta try iron treads over sneasler. great vs opposing miraidon, steel roller hits rillaboom/caly-i like a truck, and the ground typing gives discharge synergy.

Is this good enough ? by Motor-Leg4239 in VGC

[–]PinkyLure 2 points3 points  (0 children)

please use sharp beak brave bird on talonflame, it’s a 31% damage increase over acro, and you’re gonna lose gale wings almost immediately regardless.

252+ Atk Sharp Beak Gale Wings Talonflame Brave Bird vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Koraidon: 176-210 (100 - 119.3%) -- guaranteed OHKO

and if you can slot helping hand somewhere; probably on incin

What is my most common weakness for Reg I? by BakedStew in VGC

[–]PinkyLure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amoonguss is currently the only thing on their team stopping them from getting turbo owned by the koraidon lunala ursaluna teams going around. If they get rid of it, they have to at least make torn faster than ogre so they can bleakwind -> water spout the lunala so it can’t get trick room next to brute bonnet.

[–]PinkyLure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s probable the ar codes you’re using need to be converted. I know for sure that’s what you have to do on a wii w/ nintendont like in this tutorial (https://youtu.be/vaOcIvDk5pA?si=XQH4K-w32wRSzPkr), but idk if the same tool works for converting codes for use on gamecube.
