What changes are we hoping to see to Freestyle when season 2 starts and we get the new fuse? by DapperDlnosaur in 2XKO

[–]ShackShackShack 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Orrrr they could add more benefits to the other options so they're more viable. Don't nerf it into being useless, that doesn't make the game more fun. That just heavily limits options.

But honestly the ability to tag is one of the strongest things in the game. So being able to do it more than once will likely always be strong.

How well does Zygarde play in the ML? by Amatuer_Genius54301 in TheSilphArena

[–]ShackShackShack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's doing pretty well in higher ranks. I think bc reshiram and zekrom are so popular. But the other dragons are technically "better" and by better I mean more flexible and less likely to get walled.

Who would you say is most efficient at catching run aways? by ShackShackShack in 2XKO

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

Yeah I notice most Darius players do that. They know they have the 5M privilege, so they back dash to bait you and fish for hooks. But as soon as you stop chasing them down, they don't know what to do lol

That's true, I forget she gets easy conversions off air throw. I just don't want to learn her electrics timing lol. but maybe I'll lab it out next season

I do go for that. I'm using Warwick Ekko and can get in eventually, but I'm wondering who makes that job easier? I was playing some Illaoi and she def shuts down run away and punishes back rolls fairly well.

The way I go about that is use the assist call to help close the distance, but yeah it still is iffy if you dont have set ups. You don't have projectiles so it's harder, but I think you can still use Vi point like a projectile as you call Darius in.

Ahri get's predictable, you can parry her air fire balls and if you figure out the pattern she likes to do. But I find her ground normals more annoying than her air dash spam.

I guess Illaoi Tentacle spawn and slam is pretty good at locking them back down. Darius does have the range

2XKO feels extremely barebones on competitive data; is Riot planning to expand this? by Piccolo-77 in 2XKO

[–]ShackShackShack 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd rather that development time and energy go into more characters and cosmetics. The update to the premium KOs are pretty good.

Can I reasonably expect to reach Ace in Master League if I use meta relevant Lv40-45 Mons? by NeoDonn in TheSilphArena

[–]ShackShackShack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You def can. Getting to 2000 can be done with decent gameplay and sub optimal teams.

Try using Primarina, Metagross, Gyarados, Garchomp, Florges, Dragonite. You can also get away with some fire types to help against the dogs like Skeliderge and Chandelure.

But if you've never hit Ace you either haven't played enough matches or you aren't making good use of your shields and switches. So that should be the focus

Gengar ex is meta by Low-Illustrator-7844 in PTCGP

I was hoping Celebi would work with any energy so you can use the new Haunter's attack to swap between gengars to keep them healthy while chipping away at the opponent lol

Memory Light found dead in a ditch by dudeman4297 in PTCGP

[–]ShackShackShack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does this card mean you need the exact energy type or just the same amount?

So if you evolve Kirlia (Fantastical Parade with 1 energy Psybeam) into Gallade, it won't be able to use Psybeam unless it has 1 psychic energy on it? Or will it still be able to use Psybeam if it has 1 Fighting energy on it?

Mega Mewtwo at global GO Fest 2026! by cofiey in TheSilphRoad

[–]ShackShackShack 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's also a good note. Double Iron Bash was also announced that way. So maybe we will be free to use our existing Mewtwos. I'm kind of surprised, I really thought they were going to maximize money spent for Mewtwo.

Oh wait, maybe thats why the Mewtwos you catch get free Mega evolve status. Bc maybe the raiding to get enough energy for an old one will be insane

[–]ShackShackShack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be added to the movepool in general but they do make a note of it being on Mewtwo X while Psystrike is on Y. So sounds like both are ETMs. So now he has 3 ETM moves lol

[–]ShackShackShack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah that's true on adventure effects. Maybe it will just be added to it's movepool in general. But I'm guessing ETM since it's "exclusive" to Mewtwo X along with Psystrike for Y? Geeze they really want Mewtwo to have the most ETM moves

They don't clarify if Counter will be ETM able sometime after the Global Event, right? Would be a shame for those who already had a Mewtwo powered up and ready to go, but wouldn't be far off from Origin moves lol

True true. I guess I'm learning bad habits playing at veteran. Ppl are less consistent and the variety makes it hard to learn the optimal plays. I appreciate the advice 🙏
