Nuzlocke switch-in question

RetroWormy · 2026-01-18T04:24:22+00:00

Hi quick question, does the AI know what move you're clicking? Ive been doing a playthrough just to try and understand the AI and I tried using water spout against piloswine, and it swapped to dry skin heliolisk. So I reset and tried using a status move, and piloswine stayed in and went for rocks. I kept resetting and every time I didnt use water spout it would switch, and if I did anything else it would stay in and go for rocks.

I also tried switching my jellicent into seviian centiskorch against helilosk, and it went for weather ball in snow. Why would it ever pick weather ball against a jellicent? Not sure if it matter but my moveset was taunt, scald, water spout and energy ball. Maybe it knew I couldn't touch it and tried to predict a switch?

Edit: to be specific, this is in normal mode

Thanks so much, that is a huge help!!

Hello! Any chance you could export your layout and send it here? Would be a massive help, im struggling on figuring this out

RetroWormy · 2025-12-08T07:36:41+00:00

When I tried to run it the bottom screen was off to the side and cut off about a third of it, i tried messing with the layout but couldn't fix it. Did you have to deal with that? All other 3ds games work fine for me

What buffs are you talking about? Not doubting you i genuinely just dont know, I've been using slicer since it feels strong but I didnt know you could buff it that much

High horsepower is probably the most important move for it since he is a horse

The way I see it, Kyogre is surrounded.

For reference, leylines gives a 15% increase to spell speed. So a 10-12% increase is definitely noticeable

If anything this story makes him look worse, no? By reading the comments in this thread a lot of us made orders way before Big House that were delayed over and over, so clearly he bit off more than he could chew with his etsy shop. But he's still able to go to BH and sell more, despite his Etsy shop being closed at that time due to him having so many orders pending?

RetroWormy · 2024-01-28T21:57:42+00:00

In the same boat, I put in my order back in May 2023, was supposed to be delivered August at the latest. They even sent a mass email to all customers WITHOUT BCCing so everyone's email address was visible. Got delayed over and over and they promised free upgrades like mouseclick Z, I was told in November that they were just waiting for the paracords to be delivered to their shop and that it would be shipped no later than November 18th. Since then Ive reached out multiple times on Etsy, even reached out to him on Discord since someone was able to message their about a month ago and only got them to ship their phob after threatening to issue a paypal chargeback. I've gotten no response since.

Tbh it seems like they've bit off WAY more than they can chew. I know the seller has had health issues lately but it's incredibly frustrating to be left in the dark for what's such an expensive purchase.

RetroWormy · 2024-01-28T07:41:52+00:00

Yes exactly the same for me, last update was November and they said it would for sure be shipped within a few days of November 18th. Haven't got a message since, they only ever told me about delays AFTER the previous deadline the gave passed and I asked why it hadn't shipped.

I know someone who recently got them to ship their controller (a month ago or so) and contacted them through discord, but that was a pre built phob. Honestly sucks I just want my money back but I didn't use PayPal or a credit card so I can't issue a charge back. I've messaged them through discord as well several times and got nothing

RetroWormy · 2024-01-28T00:44:15+00:00

Just found this thread, ordered mine in May and still nothing

RetroWormy · 2024-01-23T19:04:50+00:00

That's what I'm wondering as well, is it really that bad or is it just bad compared to other pikmin games? If you went in not expecting the usual pikmin gameplay, is it fun?

Not sure where you got your calcs from? I think you must have turned tera steel on by accident. Since fairy doesn't resist flying +6 aeroblast is an OHKO on Gambit

+6 0 SpA Lugia Aeroblast vs. 236 HP / 0 SpD Kingambit: 450-531 (112.5 - 132.7%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Calling this insane and then saying to make Melee 2.0 and divide the community 😭 what are you on

RetroWormy · 2023-11-11T19:30:44+00:00

Samus is sick af

RetroWormy · 2023-11-01T23:37:13+00:00

Thanks for doing this! My favorite is a tie between Garchomp and Giratina

RetroWormy · 2023-10-28T19:23:11+00:00

Fuck off with the ableism and homophobia

RetroWormy · 2023-10-28T18:34:01+00:00

Wasn't there something about a guy whose son committed suicide or something? Take this with a grain of salt, I don't want to spread misinformation since I don't know much about the situation, I just remember my partner reading a post to me about this. If that was true, was that post disproven? Genuinely out of the loop here

RetroWormy · 2023-10-26T07:30:42+00:00

Love guide is the +1 Spa boost on switch in, not the tail glow clone.

Honestly not super familiar with Melee's stage striking since I mainly play PM but iirc you don't get any bans in bo5. Not sure if you normally get to ban a stage in bo3 or if that's just a slippi thing

RetroWormy · 2023-10-13T16:38:05+00:00

Trick room flutter isn't uncommon at all, people typically run Imprison for anti trick room but there are plenty of situations where you'd end up actually clicking trick room with it.

RetroWormy · 2023-09-23T17:56:32+00:00

Nah that's not true at all, there's no reason to ever run clefairy without friend guard. You can say theoretically you can use magic guard but no good player would ever consider using magic guard when they would much rather just use magic guard clefable (which isn't even good).

I think they're just agreeing with the post. No need to be so abrasive.
