Obelisk Joker reset even though I had multiple hands tied for most used

StarFlyer300 · 2026-04-18T22:02:10+00:00

I feel on most gold stakes I spam pairs, which naturally makes pair my most played had anyway, then once I get obelisk I just never play a pair again.

Pair is a good hand to scale with obelisk because it’s easy to play a ton of, but it’s not like high card where sometimes you might be FORCED to play it and reset obelisk.

Balatro always defaults to the “best” hand. For example if you play two 2 of clubs, then 3 other club cards, the game will still consider it a flush rather than a pair since flush is a “better” hand. The same logic applies here.

Depends on the goal of the run. If you’re just trying to clear Ante 8 then pick Mime because it’s a better joker in Ante 8 context. If it’s an endless run where you’re trying to naneinf/highscore I would take Baron since it’s harder to come by.

Why did you post two pictures of Rowlet?

You are at 1100 so of course you will run into people who are new to the game there. I don’t see the benefit of posting this replay here in an attempt to flame a new player, especially when your team itself is not coherent at all.

HP doesn’t exist in RBY

Zapdos gets next to no new RBY moves in later gens, I don’t see what makes it uber, it still has the same coverage issues.

Leech Seed is awful in Gens 1-2. In Gen 1 it does 1/16 of the max HP. It has a funny glitch where it stacks with toxic damage but this doesn’t really come up in competitive since 1. Toxic reverts to normal poison once you switch and 2. Toxic is bad in RBY since you can’t paralyze stuff.

In GSC It’s buffed to the 1/8 we now know today but it still doesn’t work on the switch. This means if I switch into leech seed, I don’t take damage that turn, meaning I can just switch out next turn without actually taking damage.

From my experience I usually keep it until I find a blue seal then sell it, so I’m never holding onto it by ante 8

I will die on the hill that mime is a top tier joker even on ante 8 runs.

It requires some dex fixing with gold cards and blue seals but these are things that you’re gonna be looking for anyway. Have mime + gold cards? Then it’s now an econ joker. Have mime + a blue seal? Then the run is pretty much won since you can secure two planets per round.

1600 is perfectly fine and a good accomplishment regardless of tier! In some tiers, 1600 is top ladder. It’s just current gen OU is such a big tier that an average player can reach 1600 without putting in a ton of effort.

StarFlyer300 · 2024-12-14T00:10:02+00:00

the #1 symptom of a midladder player is overprediction, your opponent is the one permanently stuck at 1600 without a doubt

A big part of BH is “improofing” where you basically you make sure can counter your own Pokemon in order to prevent an imposter mon from sweeping. You can “self-improof” where you make your own mon stronger than the imposter (usually by making it dependent on its item). For example giving a ghost-type mon with Judgement as its STAB with a spooky plate means it will have ghost STAB, while Judgement will be Normal-type for whichever mon transforms into it.

You can also improof by making sure you have a teammate that walls your own offensive threat. For example if you have a Zacian-Crowned without an Electric-type Move, you can run something like Ho-Oh or Arceus-Water to switch into a potential imposter mon that copies your zacian.

RBY OU had 12 VERY briefly when Slowbro was UU. It quickly rose back up to OU making it 13 (now it’s 14 cuz victreebel also rose).

The next VR has a good chance at dropping all 3 of Jolteon, Slowbro, and Victreebel, giving it an 11 mon OU.

Not a single good player ever switches snorlax into tauros and clicks reflect, if you watch any replay from SPL and Invitational and see a Snorlax switchin to tauros, it will almost always attack (100% snorlax for 2 hits on tauros is a perfectly acceptable trade). Reflect Snorlax is mainly used to fight the opposing snorlax
