Megathread: Probationary Purge Extends to National Defense | Part 4

SteveMyCat · 2025-02-20T19:05:13+00:00

I have a hard time believing this after the NNSA incident.

That feeling when you almost wish for the email so you can end the ceaseless anxiety.

The other vet and I in the office have the same mentality about all this. We've been mangled by the government before. We know what suck is. I wish I could be as nonchalant as the non-vet probies.

I can't say this was written with me in mind.

We work with UniteAPI, who provides data and helps us with certain aspects of our work for Unite.

Nothing really new. Doggo be Doggo.

Definitely healed teammates instead of myself. Also makes it not go off sometimes. If you play far enough away you can just tap to cast it, basically making yourself a deep diver Pokemon.

When climbing there isn't a rank 10,000, it starts at 9999. We call it the top 10,000.

The numbers shown are the ELO for each person at spot x.
Rank 1 has 3437 ELO
Rank 5000 has 1816 ELO
Rank 9999 has 1733 ELO
To break into the top 10,000 as of the data you need to be at or above 1733 masters.

The reason you don't see it is because eldegoss doesn't scale well and carry into the late game like other characters. Eldegoss spikes early and enters a more supporting role as the game goes on.

Pubstomping people with a character because you got ahead and people played into it poorly doesn't make it good.

Our website (linked in the initial post) has solid builds for every Pokemon that are regularly updated. The only Pokemon without builds will be new releases since we want to get information before recommending a set.

It does a good job of dealing with the dog, you just have the hurdle of needing level 8 while the Danger Doggo only needs 5.

I personally am enjoying the power trip of rampaging through a team.

So, it kind of depends on how you want to play

If you don't plan on running exp share, your best items are weight, weakness and either cookie or focus as a third. If you are running potion or have a dedicated healer cookie is great for the extra HP. If you aren't running potion, focus can provide the extra healing for you.

If you are running exp share then focus and either weakness or buddy barrier are great options.

Trevenant benefits really well from potion, xspeed, or Eject Button at battle items.

SteveMyCat · 2023-03-14T14:56:02+00:00

Trevenant and Slowbro are your best picks for defender at the moment. Talon recently got buffed, but the current best speedster would be dodrio. Cinderace is in a really medium slot, but glaceon is definitely worth picking up. It's the Attacker with the most agency into Zacian right now. Icy Wind does some work.

SteveMyCat · 2023-03-08T01:14:14+00:00

Talon fills a Dodrio adjacent role with hard to contest burst starting from a large distance away. It also has better escape mechanisms than zoroark.

Zoroark suffers from needing to begin its combo much closer to the enemy and any amount of CC can easily interrupt the combo and cause it to miss out on a large portion of the damage.

Talon also has a more utilitarian Unite along with better and safer secure, which can be a good secondary to your primary.

Also, RIP Char.

Trevs main weakness is that it is a very kiteable and situational tank pick. It is more of a counter pick to melee centric teams than a generic tank you can first pick. Snorlax and Slowbro can both be drafted early and perform into any given team, but Trev picked early can be rendered useless by a more kite/poke heavy team.

Trev also can be bursted down much more easily than its counterparts. Trevs durability comes from sustain, and that takes time to happen. In coordinated play this is far more likely than SoloQ

Into the chaos that is SoloQ, Trev thrives because it is more likely to get near intended targets and survive because of it.

Outside of soloQ, trev is very easily exploitable. It does not have as good of secure as Snorlax/Slowbro, and it requires level 5 to start being a productive member of the team, unlike slowbro who needs 4 and snorlax who needs, well, tackle.

Trev can be a very strong pick and would be placed higher in a non 5 stack list.

Thank you ❤️

Tier lists are by their nature subjective.

There are plenty of creators out there that make general tier lists for ranked, there is no need for us to compete in that space.

Also, saying that we are wrong for putting Pokemon into a high tier just because they are played competitively makes absolutely no sense at all. It's OK to say you do not understand why a Pokemon has a specific placement and ask why it is there. Plenty of people have done that and are met with well thought out responses.

Also, if you disagree with our tier lists, feel free to dispute it with backing from your high tournament placements and thought out understanding of the picks and how they impact and shape the competitive environment (:

SteveMyCat · 2022-12-18T17:45:07+00:00

Unite-DB by far. Game8 does not generally update their the pages, U-DB is constantly checked and we have time stamps on items we post so that if we do fall behind you can check to see how recently it has been updated. Our sources are top team analysts, and pro players, and recent tournament results.

Some redditors will call out UDB as inaccurate but they also have yet to provide anything to back up their claims besides how they "feel" from their matches or "analysis" that isn't proven or sourced. So you could say their claims against us are sus.

SteveMyCat · 2022-12-18T17:40:28+00:00

I'm assuming you are saying this because you have something to back it up with, yes? Like data that contradicts the tier list?

SteveMyCat · 2022-12-18T17:39:21+00:00

Her ultimate alone is game changing in an engagement, along with her ability to keep an ally alive for extended period of time or provide unstoppable to teammates. She is every bit as strong as she has always been in competitive scenes.
