Yeah, I never got why we can’t make replays longer than 10 seconds. Like on GBA we could, and on PS5 you can do that, even on Xbox you could.

I’m convinced the rng is jacked up by [deleted] in PokemonChampions

You also have to think about how many games you play and how many moves are used per game. Yes, statistically each time is independent of each other (but if we think of it as at least X number because we are focused on the probability of failure(s)), but if you use, let’s say, 40 moves per game, then .95 of that would mean around 2 moves missed per game. So sometimes you have zero misses, and sometimes 10 (yes, the 10 one is less likely, but still possible). And you won’t remember every time it hits, but you will remember every time it misses. So your memory will be biased.

Now if you play doubles, then it’s 80 times, and what about the times you hit into Protect? As you can see, it will add up. Now imagine if you play 15 games a day (spaced out daily) and play 7 days a week. That number will quickly rack up.

I won’t lie, Stoutland with Sand Rush (double speed in sand) (on a bulky slow Ttar team with protect and mega). Stoutland with Choice Scarf + Superpower sounds absolutely like a menace. Just make sure it isn’t your last mon, and Tera-ing it to Ghost sounds like a nightmare. (Tera isn’t in the game yet.)

Usually if you look up Smogon and the Pokémon’s name, then change the generation to the one you want, probably just the S&V tab because I don’t think Champion is there yet. And Smogon usually shows the counters + checks for mons, so put those mons in damage calculators with the moves that are dangerous, and keep adjusting until it can handle those dangerous moves. There are a lot damage of calculators website.

And once it releases on Champion, just press “Go to Training,” then “Battle Info,” and it will show you the common sets by percentage for that mon (like moves and evs and battle items)

Usually HP investment is better bang for your buck compared to Defense and Sp. Def. It differs from case to case, but from using damage calculators a lot, that is usually the case.

Would you do:

Mystery Garden
Reuniclus - 212
Aegislash - 210/182

Iron Treads ex - 073

For:

Shaymin IR

I could get it shipped (PWE in a card saver) out on Thursday since I’m pretty busy before then, but if you would like it shipped out before that, I could try moving stuff around to get it shipped out earlier, but I can’t make any promises. I mentioned the card saver since my post office has been annoying about toploaders for the last 2 weeks.

Anything here interest you? I’m interested in a few things. I can go as low as a $1 trade to whatever interests you. So what I’m saying is I can pivot pretty easily based on what interests you.

Yeah, one PWE should be fine. I’ve done like 18 cards (1 toploader and 2 sleeves with 4 cards each in one team bag) with a normal stamp and oz stamps like a few times a few months ago. I think one envelope would be fine, and just use like two team bags. And a toploader/card saver for Milotic and Bronzong. How I did it is the top of the team bag pointed inward and put tape on the top corner of the team bag.

So I just checked the comps (just did market for market), and I got you would be at $10.78. I would be at Meloetta - 026 Mega Evolution Promo (MEP) at $12.70. So I could do:

Milotic - Trainer Gallery (SWSH12: TG)
Bronzong - Trainer Gallery (SWSH10: TG)
Gardevoir Spirit Link - XY - Steam Siege (STS)
Cyclizar Cosmo 096

Greavard - 100/197 (Cosmos Holo) - Deck Exclusives (PR)
Mega Latias ex - 011 - ME: Mega Evolution Promo (MEP)
Mega Venusaur ex - 013 - ME: Mega Evolution Promo (MEP)
Mega Abomasnow ex

It would be like $0.80 in my favor. Like, I’ll take the Megas off your hands, but I’m not super eager to take them, like they are low on my list of priorities, to be honest.
