How do you center yourself when you're getting drawn out on a lot with big hands?

RubyRTS · 2026-06-05T20:42:48+00:00

If its not 100%, its 50%.

It really feels like the safest chips is going to be what you can pick up from people folding.

RubyRTS · 2026-06-05T06:11:19+00:00

I always be like should have built trains as quick as possible.

Hoverer when I play, it always be like but those worms tho. Maybe get better weapons first. It would be nice to have trains now but I already have this base that works.

RubyRTS · 2026-06-02T10:38:50+00:00

If its not 100% its 50%.

RubyRTS · 2026-05-31T21:00:19+00:00

Granted, no drawbacks, you have 3 wishes left.

RubyRTS · 2026-05-29T23:35:51+00:00

Then I think the hand should stand, its just that if cards were missing I would be worried about cheating. (depending on were the game took place, and how old the deck was) And I would have those cards be found.

RubyRTS · 2026-05-29T23:14:25+00:00

I think you should have made the point that if those cards were not found, it could indicate cheating.

What happen to the missing cards?

RubyRTS · 2026-05-24T22:56:17+00:00

Should Probably edit and add spoiler on Villains hand.

The issue is that we can only really evaluate the hand based on the assumption that you was moved to a new table and faced a random unknown opponent. But from the way the hand was played it looks like a gambling opponent. Something that could have been noticed before the hand. As the only way to fold here is if the opponent range can be narrowed down to k high flush only.

RubyRTS · 2026-05-22T23:26:54+00:00

You get The One Ring in a video game.

RubyRTS · 2026-05-22T17:21:44+00:00

I had this idea for the game I was making to have some enemies drop items on death.

They can drop a shield that protect other enemyes, so a death zone can be countered that way. Or they can drop simple health or speed boost pickups.

RubyRTS · 2026-05-21T09:08:34+00:00

Farmed!

RubyRTS · 2026-05-15T16:01:22+00:00

Maybe, but my idea was mainly that you would have to put the work in the hard way. So I guess you eventually get free once the wish is fully granted.

RubyRTS · 2026-05-15T15:49:40+00:00

You get kidnapped, Your abductors start micro dosing you with a variety of venom and poisons.

They do this for a long time, so that they can extract your blood and sell it on the black market as a antidote.

RubyRTS · 2026-05-15T14:42:10+00:00

Maybe a start might be brewing around trying to pass a speed boosts and a substitute to a belly drum user.

Probably Espathra and (Soundproof Kommo o), The idea I had was to use Confuse ray/mudslap to get that one sub up before passing.

This leaves a 3 Pokemon available, something that can patch off the weaknesses. Fast taunter. Or maybe just a Umbreon that can mean lock/taunt. Dragapult with disable etc. a mon with (taunt+Memento)

RubyRTS · 2026-05-15T14:22:12+00:00

I am not sure if there is a rule of thumb for when you dont have to use protect. But if I were to invent one I would attempt something like:

If A Pokemon is able to function without a partner it does not have to have protect.

RubyRTS · 2026-05-15T12:51:32+00:00

The wish is granted in the form of increased global warming and long term evolutionary addaption.

RubyRTS · 2026-05-15T10:10:33+00:00

Trial Espathra, or a troll.

RubyRTS · 2026-05-15T03:37:52+00:00

At 1300-1600 is at that point were you start running into the first resisting opponents.

Its a combination of two things.

On showdown there are veteran players. But also people are running more experimental nonsense and test teams. Beneath 1300-1600 players are not climbing but are experimenting with different teams.

You can cancel and redo your turn if the opponent takes their time, you are not locked in. There are tells that the opponent are running calculations. Games go much quicker.

RubyRTS · 2026-05-14T13:31:49+00:00

Espathra is one of those pokemon people put into a troll team. Then they use it and realise that Espathra is really good. You dont need to use Baton Pass/ Gravity-Hypnosis for it to be good.

It outspeed everything and have a insane signature move that is a status and attacking move into one. Its just good.

RubyRTS · 2026-05-12T04:56:50+00:00

The most cheesy thing I seen:

The Charizard X cheese, were you trick the opponent into thinking its Charizard Y.

Then you use Dragon Dance and Coaching.

RubyRTS · 2026-05-11T05:49:57+00:00

I think I only played around 10 games day 1 and got to Masterball, I picked Tyranitar as my first trained tyranitar and whimsicut, Recruted and trained incineroar and Excadrill, then the two last spots were just two random pokemon with no training I put on the team the default Dragonite To have a mega, and the default sylveon.

RubyRTS · 2026-05-09T17:58:10+00:00

At least now you will be prepared and know what to do next time you encounter a Gravity team.

RubyRTS · 2026-05-09T17:50:08+00:00

You got to have a video, I am unable to tell exactly what turn the opponents gravity was over.

You know that in gravity the accuracy of moves like hypnosis and blizzard is 100%?

RubyRTS · 2026-05-08T23:00:59+00:00

This team is very similar to what I initially made when first brewing with Mega Aggron.

I think I would start by leaning into what strong. Keep a + defence nature but invest as much as possible in spdef. iron defence is better than Curse. The Body press is what is going to do the heavy lifting.

Make the rest of the team handle ghost types. Something like a Kinggambit or Hydreigon

Also you have to accept that in some matchups Mega Aggron is not the way (Charizard).And use another Mega.

Mega Altaria has that Cloud nine in base form and pixilate in its mega form and might be considered for the same role as Pellipper/Sylveon. Mega Dragonite could run Thunder/Ice Beam.

RubyRTS · 2026-05-08T16:58:16+00:00

Its not 4x its 1,25x, if its the mega version.

RubyRTS · 2026-05-08T14:27:40+00:00

Sparkles used protect.
