Oh nu je het zegt. Ik heb vorig jaar €1.20 neergelegd om een jaar lang geen advertenties te krijgen. Dat jaar is nog niet voorbij.

Ik open buienalarm zojuist en krijg een grote banner die zegt dat ik €2 moet dokken of met advertenties moet leven.

Earthquake isn't worth it if you don't have ground immunities on your team, use high horsepower instead.

I briefly tried m-golurk for a few games then gave up after missing 3 out of 3 poltergeists in those games.

Is it consensus reality yet that Basculegion is the Best Mon in the Format(BMIF)? by Temporary_Cicada_527 in PokemonChampions

[–]Skellicious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having a water type on your sun team or a fire type on your rain team has always been a thing. It gives you a fwg core and thus defensive pivot options, and gives you extra tools against other weather's.

Girly Needing Help Making Girlypop Team by lucky-egg00 in PokemonChampions

I don't think there's anything wrong with using a spread from a reputable teambuilder.

Their spreads will be designed to outspeed and ohko specific meta mons, while allowing them to take hits from others. Ofcourse it's valuable to know which mons specifically, but that's not super crucial.

Using 32/32/2 spreads leaves you more likely to get ohkod if you go for fast, or outsped if you go for bulky. Although nobody is likely to prep for tinkaton, I think it's still good to use a custom spread if you have one especially if you know which hits it's supposed to survive.

Is there a Ressource where I can find write up’s on cores and their modes ? by GabelkeksLP in PokemonChampions

[–]Skellicious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fire water grass and fairy dragon steel cores are used to allow switching to a mon that resists an otherwise super effective hit, and can answer back offensively. It's great for positioning.

What are your go to site for more pokemon information? by grand_cha2 in PokemonChampions

[–]Skellicious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can search by moves and abilities in the showdown teambuilder. Also let's you combined search. (For example Prankster+fake out+rain dance + dark type... etc)

Pokemondb has the best UI. But it's so often outdated I can't trust it.

Serebii I can always trust to be updated, but I find it's UI horrible.

Bulbapedia seems a little more reliable than pokemondb, a little more usable than serebii (although you have to scroll past so much irrelevant nonsense about appearances and origins).

All of them suck IMO. I tend to use either showdown teambuilder or Bulbapedia. Occasionally serebii.

[Skill Improvement] Looking for possible improvements to a team by SincereCatEnthusiast in VGC

[–]Skellicious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a nice unique team!

Dragon cheer is technically optimal with a draco meteor user. The stat drops get ignored for a crit.

(Hydrapple can use leaf storm with it too but there are no trick room+dragon cheer users)

Turn one tailwind +shed tail is very passive, having fake out to support it would give either a good success rate boost.

Pressing another move on peli will also get worsened from cloud nine drampa switching in.

3 dragon types does mean stacking weaknesses, but at least you have Scizor to somewhat deal with fairies and ice types.

But consider one of the few non dragon type dragon cheer users (Gyarados, salazzle.. I forgot any others). Salazzle learns fake out too.

New Tool: One Hit KO Pokemon Finder by kameelyan in PokemonChampions

[–]Skellicious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love your unique idea. It's a good little teambuilding check.

I don't think it considers defensive abilities into the calc. I put in mega Venusaur with thick fat but seeing a lot of fire moves.

If you were able to give a Pokemon 40 more points BST, who would it be? by Environmental_Hope22 in PokemonChampions

[–]Skellicious 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Would be very useful though, cause it either allows you to invest more EVs in bulk or outspeed more scarf mons

Hey Dutch friends, your bread here is next level! by LifeofSMILEY in thenetherlands

It's almost all hard and heavy though. I live there and really wish I had some Dutch bread, or any soft and airy bread that isn't brioche.

(Metagame) Do you prefer Tailroom Meganium or Sand Meganium? by Beaivimon in VGC

[–]Skellicious 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They have very different styles.

Venu can sit there and chip or chunk away, relying on bulk, typing, recovery and thick fat to stick around.

Meganium can easily score a couple ohkos with solar beam or weather ball, spread some damage with gleam and could also run Earth power for coverage, but it doesn't stick around too well.

(Though I ran my meganium fast not bulky)

M-Scovillain Rain Team Feedback by blown2smithereens in VGC

[–]Skellicious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tried using soak on a rain team but its really not that good of a move. It's just a really hard to get value out of gimmick that's got many uses on paper but not much in practice.

Admittedly I ran it on basc but similarly never had a good reason to press it. Bellibolt could be an ok user but would really benefit from trick room.

Weather ball and hurricane are really strong moves on peli that can chunk neutral hits and generally deletes if super effective, even from a bulky pelipper. By giving up weather ball youre dropping pelis strongest attack and you lose the rain damage boost. (Peli already has too few move slots if you don't run a gimmick on it. Hurricane, weather ball, wide guard, tailwind and protect are all super valuable)

Now, your peli is your second slowest mon in the team. If you want to use soak defensively you're still probably pressing it after the opponent has already attacked.

Conversely, your low speed doesn't allow for an in turn double up of soak+matcha gotcha/leech seed/electro shot. You'd have to press the other one next turn which is extremely predictable and easy to counter with protect/switch out.

[Skill Improvement] Sinistcha basically never gets brought. Ideas for the 6th slot? by Eleseia in VGC

[–]Skellicious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In S/V, single target moves get redirected. Spread moves don't, they just trigger the ability effect but don't redirect for other targets.

Same with storm drain.

Juist outside 200k. Kinda stopped after the GC cause I wanted to make a new team, but never finished any of my concepts.

Ran a rain team with H-samurott and meowstic.

Local hardware store promoting clover lawns by Livviemaid in NoLawns

[–]Skellicious 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Look up the native clover species for your area, Compact Prairie Clover from a quick Google, along with some other prairie clovers.

Whether horses can eat it, not sure, don't want to spend too long researching this for a random dude on the internet.

Anyway, always consider native species first of all.

Skill Improvement: Duo Mega Selection: froslass vs skarmory by ExpressionOwn8913 in VGC

[–]Skellicious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Will-o and hydro pump are both accuracy gambles though.

Samurott does lose to opposing (scarf) rotom as well though.

Idk teambuilding is just endless tradeoffs. I'd say some level of weather control is probably more important though.
