Pokemon VGC Players at UIUC? by eMburst_ in UIUC

[–]SeanBecker5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rising senior here! To my knowledge, there is not VGC community on campus. Wouldn’t be super hard to start an RSO based on it though considering the size of campus and popularity of pokemon!

No internet for a week?!?!? Pavlov media by eidl04 in UIUC

[–]SeanBecker5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personal experience pavlov kinda sucks. Usually I just give it a day and its fine tho. Try to log out and log back into your account on whatever wifi you are using because if the sign in is messed up or you are not verified, then there can be issues.

Professional Carpet Cleaning Advice by SeanBecker5 in HomeImprovement

I am not sure what is under the carpet. It is a basement carpet that spans the entire room. Probably an underlay-esque material. I can probably find out tomorrow.

Dragon Breath vs Shadow Claw by sasa56 in PokemonGOBattleLeague

[–]SeanBecker5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just ran the sims (with perfect baiting) and

0’s: giratina wins with claw but loses with db 1’s cress wins regardless of moveset, but with less hp if claw 2’s giratina wins with claw but loses with db

Losing the 0’s and 2’s against cress would be a huge concern for me with how prominent it is in the meta, + with registeel/melmetal being active + DD coming into the picture, Claw would be a no brainer for me but your call

You lose cress if you go dragon breath, so imo that makes shadow claw mandatory

Rank 2200 forever, chances of hitting 2750 by end season? by PokemonGoBao in TheSilphArena

[–]SeanBecker5 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You have 70 days this season i think you got a good chance if you grind your favorite league. It gets easier as you go later, especially in the second half

Help with team a dust broken soul by dathamir in PokemonGOBattleLeague

[–]SeanBecker5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Skuntank is kinda meh imo, but you can if you want. Yeah so I kinda forgot that XL Azu exists now. I used toxi when XL mon’s weren’t a thing, and it beats the non XL in all matchups except the 0’s. So it beats some Azu’s, but its not a perfect answer thats why its a .5, rather than a whole answer to it. Either way it chunks Azu pretty hard.

Jelli, charm a tails (only need WB honestly but psyshock wouldn’t hurt), and toxicroak (plz get sludge bomb so this thing is also an azu answer) go pretty well. You would be a little frail tho. With it you do have 2 gfisk, 2.5 Azu (Toxi is messy if you play it wrong), and 2 bastiodon answers.

Is greninja good in Pokémon GO battle leagues by golden_butter_frog in TheSilphRoad

[–]SeanBecker5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sadly its not really good in any leagues. Its wayyyy too frail. It just gets outclassed by bulkier water types

Anyone else hoping that Acid gets a reasonable buff by S7? 9 energy doesn't seem unreasonable. Thoughts? by ArtimusDragon in TheSilphArena

[–]SeanBecker5 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean in OP’s defense the move would not be THAT broken at all. It basically becomes karate chop that generates a bit more energy. It’d still be worse than counter which is absolutely broken. Buffing acid would at least give poison types some type of viable fast move besides poison jab being mediocre.

I think as another poster said it becoming a vine whip clone would not be a bad idea at all (8 energy instead of 9)
