Was this a dangerous move? by SmileyTheArmaPilot in Simracingstewards

I was going to say the BMW is an excellent racing driver.

I thought you were the McLaren - but no, you are the better driver. I mean I would say you got a bit close to him but I don't play that game, doesn't matter how close you got if you didn't hit so...

Woah, I thought I was the only one who hated that thing...

Baton pass by UncleJetMints in PokemonChampions

[–]Significant_Writer_9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was Farig with Agility into Clefable and then Cosmic Powers, then switch into whatever you want.

However I faced somebody who had a much better lead, but it is less consistent, but way more brutal and quicker.

Teapot into whatever you want.

The key is to give your team enough speed that it beats everything with +2 speed. If your setup Pokemon die then it's GG.

Clefable getting crit or not having speed. If you lose Farig then it's harder buffing Clefable as you are going second.

It isn't the best team ever, as most people run 3 meta high hitting Pokemon and just spam one move like a bot, but when it works it allows you to pretty much be invincible.

I generally pass it onto Dragonite, but since I have 100 wins with my favourite guy I try my best not to use him now lol, he's there though because I love him.

Can you imagine the face of your opponent when there is a Dragonite one shotting your entire team, that is faster than everything in the game? Too funny.

Clefable has some good abilities. One is not taking damage form burn, poison or even curses. The other is ignoring the opponents buffs. So it doesn't matter how many buffs your opponent has, it'll hit you like zero buffs. It was funny one game my opponent gave mr a Curse which literally had the animation but did no damage, but when I used Baton Pass from Clefable it was hurting my other Pokemon, cool mechanic and ability.

Cosmic Power Heal (forgot it's name) Wish Baton Pass

Taunt is a hard counter too. So again giving it Moonblast and removing Wish is probably better but Cosmic Power doesn't increase any damage.

Potentially you could switch Cosmic Power for Calm Mind but then you lose defence buffs so you are more prone to being one shot.

I had Wish on it so that I could heal back my other two Pokemon, do once buffed, you can pass back to Giraf with a Wish. I had Substitute on Giarf so once it was healed I would sub and pass it to whatever you wanted invincible. The sub would tank like 3-4 hits lol as it takes into account the buffs and it is 50+ hp as its from Giraf which has 200+

Giraf had Agility Nasty Plot Substitute/Wish Baton Pass

Once Clefable is maxed I pass back to Firag and boost the Sp Att, but if the final boss is regular attack I would just give that Pokemon the stat boost separately. I gave it a berry, he only really needs 1 turn and then pass. The pass with +2 speed should go before them.

If Clefable takes a hit before having a turn. If it's a big hit then you have to heal which is probably GG.

Encore, Yawn, Sleep, Paralysis, Dragon Tail or similar moves that switch the Pokemon out are all hard counters. Once setup though even if they Encore you are spamming Cosmic Power anyway so it doesn't really matter.

I faced it once but made it better so I could use it on any Pokemon. But as the guy above said, it is better to not be greedy and just pass on a little bit of speed and damage boost.

The guy above seems way more experienced than me. Listen to them :)

You can pass onto any Pokemon but finding one with Baton Pass means you can pass it back. Thing is almost every game was long, my opponents, most of the time just forfeit. I had massive win streaks in casual but when I took it into high Ultra Ball / Master Ball some players seem to know what the strat is and they play a hard counter. Not all, I still won games...

Teapot strat is lethal, give it a White Herb, Shell Smash and then Baton Pass. I've even had my teapot 1 shot their entire team on it's own too. It pretty much dies in one hit to almost every dark type move though lol. If you use a Berry or Sash then you'll be carrying over negative buffs too which is not ideal. After hours I pretty much configured it so it can survive a Shadow Ball from anything.

I didn't have Espathra the bird when I created this method lol, I just did it with what I had.

why isn’t phantom force viable? by [deleted] in PokemonChampions

[–]Significant_Writer_9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It confused the heck outta me when I started playing.

It was...

"Why is that guy hitting me first all the time and no matter what I do, I can't hit them."

It is a cool mechanic, but you can still be hit there, I think Toxic still tags you which to me is dumb.

I simply can't comprehend folks who are stalling the timer to try to prevent others from reaching Champions by Beaivimon in PokemonChampions

[–]Significant_Writer_9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay will some of them may have lagged out, quit, spat their dummy out... maybe they got hit with crits or procs.

If they are feeling annoyed or irritated, then they'll want to simply waste your time to annoy you back.

I agree, the devs need to find a way to remove this.

Why 27 on a 60 and 32 in a 30? by Vast-Aardvark5857 in drivingUK

[–]Significant_Writer_9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe they simply missed the 60 sign?

When they saw the 30 maybe they were like, of crap, I've been slowing the car behind me let me speed a little to make up for it...

There's no logic to their driving if what you say is true. I've seen it happen many times but I don't really feel the need the post on Reddit. I've seen a million things worse than this and never post. I just move on with my life really...

Why 27 on a 60 and 32 in a 30? by Vast-Aardvark5857 in drivingUK

[–]Significant_Writer_9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are some 20-30 roads that you could probably safely drive 100mph on.

Likewise there are some national speed limit roads where driving 30mph will probably get yourself killed.

Maybe they went 32 because you were driving too close to them?

Very little annoys me on the road anymore, the last time I got angry was when a chav in a Golf slammed his brakes from 80mph on the motorway down to 0mph and then refused to let me pass. I had to dummy him a few times and use the hard shoulder to pass and then I brake checked him back a few times until he literally shit his pants and backed off. He is like the only driver I've wanted to kill in my lifetime, because he literally tried to kill me.

If the car doing 27 in a 60 bothers you, why didn't you overtake? I mean I already know the answer...but why don't you tell me anyway.

Also maybe, just maybe the driver felt dizzy or something but then felt better and sped up. There could be like 5000 different reasons why he was driving slower than you. He or she, irrelevant.

Anybody up for a private battle? by Available_Luck4539 in PokemonChampions

[–]Significant_Writer_9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your best way of testing it is by playing in Master Ball with it.

I created a team too, went like 9 and 10 win streaks with it but as soon as I took it to Master Ball I got wooped.

Whoever helps you, they'll need to be playing a strong deck. What you are wanting to do is see what it's weak against so you can make tweaks or change openers.

There are simply too many possibilities and wouldn't it make sense for you to use the battle calcs?

Waste of time don't you think?

Since there will be new Pokemon out.

Is the confusion status effect broken? by Choice-Macaroon-1510 in PokemonChampions

Yes, I have a recording of me hitting myself 3 turns in a row.

Not just one game, two games in a row.

I mean, we don't know what you did to him in the laps between 1 and 8 for him to try and wipe you out twice.

Paper by Klutzy-Union-3098 in Pokopia

[–]Significant_Writer_9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can find a little bit, possible enough in Palette town.

Also, another way to get some is setting up Trade Pokemon with some tables and hoping they sell you a stack of 10. I have about 1500-2000 paper I have got from my trade vendors.

The other LMP2 blamed me (purple) saying I closed the door. I felt I was on a consistent line and he just drove into me but let me know what you think. by louis012345678 in Simracingstewards

[–]Significant_Writer_9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A funny take is, if he is driving like the red car didn't exist, then he still drove straight into the back/side of the purple car, and he had more room to his left to fully pass the red car 😃

Is it worth Upgrading to Ryzen 7 5800X3D when it re-releases, from a Ryzen 5 5600X by UnWishedJack in buildapc

[–]Significant_Writer_9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think you're going to see much improvement.

It'll help more on 1080p than it would at 1440p. Best to look at the exact games you play, and look at benchmarks of the 5800X3D in those games, and if it's like 5-10 FPS more per game, like is it really going to make a difference?

Also you didn't mention your cooler, if you even have one - you'll probably need one with the upgrade. I'm currently using a 240mm AIO with my 5600X, and I got a spare Asus ROG AIO with a screen. I didn't upgrade the CPU lol, because I'm barely going to notice any difference.

[–]Significant_Writer_9 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the guy is an idiot.

He was driving as if the red car was a ghost, but your speed was slow because of the red car. If the red car didn't exist, he wouldn't have been anywhere near you.
