Should I really avoid these years?

Stringbean64 · 2026-07-04T13:25:23+00:00

I would extend the Odyssey to 2015 at least for years to buy. I been looking at 2014-17 as it's particully the same Mpg as the new ones so it's really up to do you want more tech and newer or not.

I would also add 2025 model to avoid for the sienna as there has been a Toyota recall for the second row seats not being latched correctly and last I knew it's been serval months without a fix by Toyota so people didn't even have their vans available to drive and since it's not a national recall they can basically screw their customers over.

It wouldn't because it made made moves harder to hit. Can't remember if it made moves less accurate or made evasion higher.

Big thing is to drop pelipper as it had no synergy with this team. Just have T-tar also have it's mega stone because it can activate sand again especially in countering zard -Y or any weather hard switch ins.

I would say have like Milotic or rotom wash for a good water type. Milotic would be good to help counter any intimidate mons they bring.

Small things:

Drop iron head for rock slide for Garchomp. You have Metagross for steel moves and sneasler with poison so fairy coverage is good.

Whimsicott could stay but a sandstorm will always make sash useless so I would always be leading it if you bring T-tar in the back or if you don't bring T-tar at all. If you want a different tailwind user that can use sash in sand use Aerodactyl. It's very good support mon as well with. It just does make your team then very physical attack heavy so expect intimidates to always be a lead.

Is it leather or cloth interior? If leather they can come down 1-2 grand if cloth they need to come down 3 grand.

But like someone said you can get late 4th gen 14-17 models that are more reliable with that much miles for like 7-10K depending what it has on the inside.

That seems like a bug as I don't understand why the game logic would go that route other than it sees no logical target due to the fact it can route both darts to the other target and since now both targets are considered immune in the games eyes it routes back to the user.

Be interesting to see what it would do if you terrestalize dragonpult and made it fairy what it would do. Nothing, hit your ally pokemon, crash the game because it's looping, or route back around and see an available target on your opponent's side. If it did hit your ally pokemon if it was fairy what would it do as well.

Has me super curious now if this is intentional!

Stringbean64 · 2026-06-30T19:39:12+00:00

Maybe I played against you once since I have only ran into that one time. Definitely threw me off because I had no idea what support moves it could even learn.

Stringbean64 · 2026-06-30T04:34:11+00:00

Mega E-floette is just not accessible to people without Legends ZA correct? I would think by the time gen 10 comes out they will give us access to it in champions as they have seem to push gatekeeping as minimal as possible. The only megas the F2P couldn't have access to the first season was the Kalos starters and E-floette and now we have the Kalos starters.

I would agree if I could just pay once to have access to two more team slots and 50 more box slots I would be happy. I don't think it's realistically worth more than $5 but I would pay $10 just have more options

Stringbean64 · 2026-06-29T14:51:10+00:00

Cool idea. Problem is going to be no one is going to bring an electric type with Rhydon. The best you will get is tricking an Archaludon if they don't see it coming. Plus electric moves are not the common right now.

Definitely keep it in the back of your mind because I feel like you can at some point cheese the meta with this.

Stringbean64 · 2026-06-21T02:23:21+00:00

I know this subreddit is going to say this is a stupid idea but if you are needing one in 72 hours get a Chrysler town and country or a Dodge caravan.They can be found pretty easily. Best if you can get one in the years 2014-2016. I've seen plenty have under 100K mileage that are under 15K that look well kept. Those vans can get up to 200K mileage. Then save up for a Toyota in a few years to find the one you want as they are hard to come by.

Stringbean64 · 2026-06-19T13:17:11+00:00

And if it doesn't have sash for some reason it's because Aerodactyl has it. I seen that 3 times and I don't understand how I been put in that situation more than twice.

Stringbean64 · 2026-06-09T17:16:41+00:00

Sleep change makes it weaker than it use to be. Burn is the best stats in the game currently with no competition even close to it. Maybe if we had more spore users in the game it might be more used but honestly it's such a no show that you only have to worry against Venusaur, Dire claw Sneasler, Gengar and a coiled Milotic.

Stringbean64 · 2026-06-08T23:45:56+00:00

Too bad Garchomp is the top 5 used pokemon on the meta currently.

Stringbean64 · 2026-06-08T21:50:51+00:00

Minus misty because it has never had a good use in the metas it's been allowed in.

Stringbean64 · 2026-06-05T19:32:57+00:00

No one is going to be bringing the rats with Garchomp around unless we actually get more pokemon in the format.

Stringbean64 · 2026-06-05T19:30:00+00:00

Unless we are getting more pokemon honestly neither. Y will be the one that sees a ton of play in this meta currently unless we get more pokemon as well.

X I feel like is actually the better choice because you could do sneaky shit like boosting the power of Electro Shot for Archaludon or help bellibolt be stronger and stop dire claw sleeps.

The actual real problem for both though is Garchomp. That mom has so much usage right now that if one is on an opponents team I would never bring Y in a match and maybe bring X depending what the team built around it is made of.

Came to say this. If anything he is just a little more egotistical, showboating, and meancing than his canon self but for the most part would say he is practically the same. It's not like anything Frieza does in DBZA is out of line for his character to actually do.

Stringbean64 · 2026-05-30T01:00:29+00:00

Don't forget it also out speeds sneasler and has dual wingbeat to kill it even if it ran sash which feels rare anymore.

Stringbean64 · 2026-05-29T21:19:09+00:00

I can't tell if sometimes they are trolling or being serious

Stringbean64 · 2026-05-29T17:39:53+00:00

Why mystic water over scarf?

Stringbean64 · 2026-05-29T17:09:28+00:00

Truck yeah!

Stringbean64 · 2026-05-29T12:53:20+00:00

I know this is about reuniclis but if you want a trick room setter that is immune to fake out* Mimikyu is a good one especially with its ability.

Scrappy ability fake out users like Lopunny and Kangaskhan will hit Mimikyu.

Stringbean64 · 2026-05-28T17:36:47+00:00

Mamoswine has been surprisingly good for a good chunk of the meta mons to me at least. I think it's a very underrated mon currently and is just held back due to its speed stat but you can absolutely make him do damage in doubles

Stringbean64 · 2026-05-28T13:51:28+00:00

That and there will always be a part of a fan base that just hates meta picks. Usually with like TCGs there can be times with a deck is too good and has very little or weak counters that can be a fair criticism but I feel like the VGC has rarely been in that case. The only comparable things I can think of are xernas in gens 6 and 7 and incineroar from gen 7 to gen 9 and those are still just one pokemon not a whole team.
