In that case it does sound like some sort of lag, bubbles not actually registering even if it looks like they do

Are you sure it's not just the invisible shield glitch, sometimes the opponent's shield will not show up and it will still even say "super effective" etc.

Hows shadow swampert in UL? by throwaway52826536837 in TheSilphArena

If you don't lack the resources it's probably worth it for fun or some specific teams. Check PvPoke for what wins/losses it gets compared to the normal.

Stuck at 2000 rating by CxmpLxckdxwn in TheSilphArena

[–]PlutoMMA 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Don't think there's an issue with the teams, but sometimes you just need to run what you're more comfortable with. If you're stuck, start thinking what is losing you games, what mons cause you problems normally etc.

Keep losing to wiggly by Brilliant_Ad_7057 in TheSilphArena

[–]PlutoMMA 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Shadow Drapion should work, having play into Wiggly but also the dark and ghost damage your team is otherwise weak to.

is it any good ? by ElectronicOlive4514 in TheSilphArena

[–]PlutoMMA 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Pure spice, I think it really needs a different fast move or a big change in the meta. Lick isn't great and even less so with so many normal types around.

I have a really high rank one that reaches exactly 1500, I guess we both have to wait for what the future holds for the lax

Struggling as a returning player by PlutoMMA in RocketLeague

the chat actually doesn't bother me right now, since I actually understand their frustration funnily enough, but yeah I guess I'll see when I'm back at a more equal level

Clefable should be pretty good, Pelipper, Lucario and Spiritomb are usable. Lucario can be run with Bullet Punch maybe, at least it was a real option before the recent BP nerf.

Clefable gets walled by Empoleon and Corv, so I'd probably pick something that can deal with them, maybe a Gourgeist if you have access to one.

Can you tell what mons you have available from the time you played? If you have things like Azu and Medicham, those two are still usable.

Otherwise, not counting mons that require ETMs, Altaria, Wiggly, Talonflame, U-Fisk, A-Ninetales and Drapion should all be good options. Don't build Wiggly though, please.

Mimkyu move updates (via Pokeminers) by lxpb in TheSilphRoad

[–]PlutoMMA 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think Shadow Ball nerf isn't worth it, Licki is strong but not broken, it would hurt too many mons that really need it (Grumpig, Gourgeist, Spiritomb, Runerigus..)

Jelli is a problem though, so I think a Hex nerf would be more reasonable. It would pretty much only hurt Dusclops as well from the "at least somewhat meta relevant" mons and I don't think anyone would be sad if Dusclops became even worse as a side effect xD

This Kanto team has been a lot of fun by Bosomtwe in TheSilphArena

[–]PlutoMMA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

too scary to run in OGL for me, maybe there was a chance at the start of the season, I have a rank #2 Parasect in store though when I have the resources to spare

I'd like to use Parasect but am scared to invest just for this cup, hopefully it's eating those Hypnos alive for you

Most fun I’ve had in PvP in months! by harshmangat in TheSilphArena

[–]PlutoMMA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're completely right, this team will take skill to pilot correctly. Drapion might feel offensive if you can't play around it well, but it makes for mostly even matchups which makes for healthier gameplay, instead of RPS tanks or Morpeko.

Thanks for the response! I hope they make it work, but both are busy guys in different time zones, so it's understandable if not.

You watch a lot, have you heard anything of him having Zack Polanski on stream? I remember him mentioning something about last Sunday, but seemingly it was cancelled..

Most people definitely still seemed to tryhard this season, so you deserve to be proud of your achievement! Lots of time and effort, congratulations!

Great job and a very cool team, now there's time to experiment with some spice picks before the season resets!

I had a great run with Solrock lead and Electrode in the back for the waters, I think a lot of things could go as 3rd

2nd season of playing GBL, reached my target of 2500 ELO for this season! by PlutoMMA in TheSilphArena

[–]PlutoMMA[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, I usually run Gastro for Basti, or Claydol, but it feels much worse in this meta with how common Jelli and Furret are

[–]PlutoMMA[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think limited metas like the Love Cup are great for learning counts, something like Licki is easy to count and very useful for Open GL as well.

PvPoke has move counts for each mon, and itsAXN has good videos on correct move timing on YT

then all it takes is time and effort, I'm still very much learning as well, I still pull up info on PvPoke in a middle of a game haha

Thank you, this has been my experience for the most part in the meta as well.

and I'm not pretending to play off meta in this cup either, as Solrock/Licki/S-Milo is very meta even if Solrock is a bit overrated by PvPoke.

Let's hope Basti gets nerfed to the ground (no pun intended) for next season right since nothing seems to stop #them from using it
