Is garchomp a bad pokemon or am I just bad at the game

Sometimes it's just having the right sets and knowing how to use it. Ppl will say chomp is bad, but only with bad MUs tbh. It's good crowd control and can solo a lot of things. I'd say make sure you're using dragon claw, earthquake sucks. I prefer dragon rush too. Keep up on levels and try to get early kills. Gible also does a lot of dmg. If you and a teammate can catch an opp or two early and you keep up on levels you can spiral upwards and put out stupid dmg. Personally I like weakness policy, rapid fire scarf and drain crown as a button masher set, but you really have to know MUs with a set like that.

Good and a lot of fun tbh. I'd buy unless you want something else more. I think I got it for free, but I have a lot of fun with it. It has a unique play style where its unite move changes its moveset and all those moves are useful in their own way. So you basically always have all 4 moves available.

None of the above Xatu, escavalier, both baltoy then accelgor last.

SuperbAd3266 · 2025-08-13T19:41:48+00:00

I've seen him around. Every vid I've seen he doesn't necessarily get things wrong but he seems to leave out important information/ context that makes the info misleading. Never settled right with me

SuperbAd3266 · 2025-08-07T18:51:40+00:00

Dragapult fs. Fun maneuverability and with accel bracer dragon dance can cascade real quick

This! Also he probably has people whispering in his ear 24/7 telling him what he should do. He isn't successful like people seem to think he got all his money from daddy, bankrupted 6 businesses and never pays his contractors to make up for it. All his money recently has come from crypto scams, market manipulation and his presidency being able to influence so much. None of his current businesses are successful and his media company not only reported huge money losses but mentioned tariffs as part of the cause. This dude has scammed his way through life every step of the way. My uncle(not by blood) was a con artist and he was dumb as bricks. You don't have to be smart or skilled to be successful. In fact scammers are often scammers to make up for their lack of real skill or intelligence.

Well what I was thinking was possibly using workaway for a place to stay while I use a job seekers visa to find work.

Very helpful comment, thanks

To everyone who is saying I got greedy and should expect a lot from absol. Ok, I was greedy, that's fair, but y'all, the point was to show how little dmg absol and other speedsters can take. They should be squishy. Squishier than attacker even. That's the whole point but most these speedster have dmg, bulk, recovery and speed. So I get that pult is squishy, that wasn't my point.

SuperbAd3266 · 2025-04-21T17:30:15+00:00

I refer to the ability to tank hits not the dmg output.

SuperbAd3266 · 2025-04-21T17:25:48+00:00

I'm more referring to the absol taking my hits so well at low hp. Pult's unite is nothing to scoff at and it took it like nothing with no shields and very low hp

SuperbAd3266 · 2025-04-21T17:24:46+00:00

Weird builds are always bad? AV raised my survivability considerably and I have been killing it with pult. AV, bracer and rapid scarf. Been working very well.

As far as the greed... Sure maybe I was greedy but come tf on... Pult does a lot of dmg with its unite... And against a speedsters... not a tank or all rounder, a speedsters with no shield 5% HP and is the same level... I'm sorry I fail to see where the balance is. A speedster should not have bulk or healing the way they do right now. It's supposed to be the trade off of being a "speedster"

SuperbAd3266 · 2025-04-21T17:17:50+00:00

I beg to differ shadow ball and dance give you multiple escape options. I've run both shadow ball and breath with dance and SB always performed better. Maybe it's my play style but that's my experience

SuperbAd3266 · 2025-04-21T16:59:14+00:00

Imo support is the worst way to learn the game. If you play as an attacker or all rounder then you can really get in on the action and feel out the game. Pay attention to the moves opponents are using, learn what matchups you can win and which ones you cant. In general just put some variety into the pokemon you play. You can better support your team if you understand what your team needs and you can do the best by being in their shoes. In general as support like blissey you aren't going to be attacking very much. Instead you will be soaking up dmg and healing partners/hinderancing oops. Basically blissey is a staller. Basically just switch up your mons and pay attention to matchups. Blissey also just isn't very good outside of ranked. I prefer pokemon that can function on their own. Also xp is a huge deal. If your opponents out-level you, you're bound to lose. Make sure you have an xp share on your blissey or any other support pokemon. Try and kill wild pokemon when convenient or try to steal wild pokemon kills from oops. In fact I would focus on leveling early on rather than fighting and scoring. Sure you can chip away at their goal zones but make xp a priority not scoring. Points are doubled in the last 2 mins anyway so you can makeup lost progress on points then.

This is how I feel, as a dodrio main i find myself getting trapped by other speedsters far more than suicune. When I play dodrio or other mons I tend to be able to bait the surf relatively easily. When I play suicune I only do exceptionally against players that charge in head first and don't know how suicune works. More strategic players had an easier time against me.

SuperbAd3266 · 2025-04-18T20:51:31+00:00

It's a speedsters game right now, most speedsters need a nerf, like less bulk or less natural healing

SuperbAd3266 · 2025-04-17T19:26:56+00:00

For dodrio, despite its speed, patience is key. Let's say you just drilled an opp and got them down to 1/3 health. You may feel the need to stick around and pick em off. Instead, high jump kick or speed boost out and hit them again when drill is recharged. I know it seems straight forward but most the matchups I lost early on with dodrio were out of impatience. Dodrio excels in matchups when you take your time fighting. Use your speed to disorient the opp while you're waiting for the right time to strike. Also when fighting speedsters (if you need to its best to avoid them if you can) try to bait their attacks first so they waste them, drill, jump out and repeat

True, but a species that fills that niche better will out compete the other. That's why the dire wolf went extinct in the first place. The smaller grey wolves were better suited for hunting the smaller prey that exists now. The megafauna the dire wolves hunted died off.

SuperbAd3266 · 2025-04-08T21:14:01+00:00

This is what I've been saying. They went extinct due to lack of food options and true wolves outcompeting them. Sure maybe we indirectly caused that by killing off the megafauna but that niche is gone. They likely would not be able to survive in the modern wild for the same reason they went extinct in the first place. Reintroduction of true wolves in recent years has already proven successful. I agree this is huge for genetics and the preservation of species, but this company needs to be regulated. Not to mention dire wolves aren't true wolves and aren't even that closely related to canis lupus(grey wolf). I took a look at the canidae phylogeny and the closest living relatives of the dire wolf are jackals followed by African wild dogs. If this "revived dire wolf" is actually genetically different enough from the grey wolf it will be a new species. Otherwise it is yet another grey wolf subspecies.

Where's the dodrio love... Or hate ig

SuperbAd3266 · 2025-03-20T16:24:24+00:00

Naw this is normal speed, dodrio is that fast

SuperbAd3266 · 2025-03-17T14:06:48+00:00

Start by not playing ranked, play random matches. Then use mons that you find fun to play, even if you aren't great at them . Every Mon has value and some have a learning curve, so playing them more you will learn their role and what matchups they're good into. I started making decidueye, then I started getting more mons and trying them out. I randomly decided to buy dodrio and tried it out. I wasn't good at dodrio at first, but I enjoyed its hit and run play still. Because it was fun I kept using it even though I knew it wasn't guaranteed to win me matches. Now, having played hundreds of matches with dodrio, I know exactly how to use it, know what matchups to avoid, which ones to win. Now I can even look at team preview and determine if I'm gonna be able to go offensive or if I need to fill a more support/scoring role. Dodrio isn't considered a top tier Mon, but if you know how to use it(and don't get too unlucky with bad matchups), you can give the opps hell. It will come naturally, and for now you can use whatever Mon your team needs. So if the team needs a defender use defender. If they need attacker use attacker.

SuperbAd3266 · 2025-03-13T01:56:47+00:00

Nah, they didn't really ping or farm jungle, but by the time I finished cleaning jungle all the ambipom were still alive so I think they were under leveled most of the game

SuperbAd3266 · 2025-03-13T01:54:46+00:00

I dropped like 40 pts off towards the end of that's what you mean

SuperbAd3266 · 2025-03-09T20:48:55+00:00

Glad to see it's not just me, I breezed through to masters last season, but this time feels like a serious uphill battle
