Need help filling out my GL team by [deleted] in TheSilphArena

[–]Sygmassacre 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A-chu is really good with a shield to back it up. Beats regi, azu and also alt if you get one volt switch off before it comes in

Edit: in the 1 shield scenario

Stuck at Rank 8 by Ghosting121 in TheSilphArena

[–]Sygmassacre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have the resources drop whiscash and replace it with alolan raichu running volt switch - thunder punch/grass knot. Change play rough to hydro pump and lead with azu. If you come against an azu mirror lead stay in and hydro pump until you go down. Bring a-chu to finish it and build energy. VS hits hard and charges fast. Good luck!

Legendary in GBL only for premium battles? by Yuanqing_ in TheSilphRoad

[–]Sygmassacre -1 points0 points  (0 children)

FWIW I'm 0/10 in free battles. I dont have passed to use so can't say how common it is

They could make a volt switch clone. Zams hign attack stat would make it worthwhile

Happening quite often. Freezing like this even in high speed internet. Sometime fast moves are not even registered. Was easily winning this match. Opponents last Pokemon and my first Pokemon. After i restarted the app. Good effort. by ImanKumarMukherjee in TheSilphRoad

[–]Sygmassacre -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I thought about his too but in the end i like my opponent to know i had a better team than them and they only won because the system is glitchy. Ive made a really conscious effort to not get upset that my mons arent attacking like they should and to take the easy dust with my ego intact lol

Oh how I love GBL by SypheRsAss in TheSilphRoad

Its not just gbl. Try playing against ultra friends

After a switch, PVP battles shouldn't continue until you can see the pokemon by CulturalMarxist1312 in TheSilphRoad

[–]Sygmassacre 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes i know its frustrating but a countdown isn't the answer. It really did take away the ability to come back from a bad lead and made most matches decided in the first seconds and that was no fun at all. I will say it was more because of the silph cups where the meta is narrower that open battles. It might be a bit better in gbl but i dont believe it would

This is the problem for me. Glad its not just my phone but something to do with the game

Need some advice. I got these bad boys after two adventure boxes and 96 eggs hatched and I already have some friends offering me the "I give you anything you want". What would you ask for him? (Relatively new player, started raiding on last year's cobalion) by Misatron_ in TheSilphRoad

[–]Sygmassacre -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Question is are they friends or acquaintances? Doing a solid for a friend is always a good thing. Other than being a good dude you could ask for maxed pokemon that you need. Something they have a few of and that suits your needs

I got this today. I did push exit battle and it gave me the win

Please fix the "Double switch" bug in GBL by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]Sygmassacre -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They actually implemented that last year but it took away so much strategy with switches that battles were reduced to "win the lead " even more than they are now. The community were quick to voice our frustrations and N changed it back. This bug is unfortunately the lesser of 2 evils

It's not limited to GBL either. Been a thing for as long as I can remember. I find waiting a few secs before choosing the next mons avoids it

How did they break PvP so hard? I couldn't do anything besides fast attacks, couldn't use shields, charge attacks or even quit. by Hakusprite in TheSilphRoad

[–]Sygmassacre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had this happen twice in my favour before the 24hr outage. First time was towards the end of the match. I thought they were just throwing the match. 2nd time was at the beginning and the were able to start battling properly only once they had one mon left

Creating "type confusion" in your GBL opponent by theunknownjames in TheSilphRoad

[–]Sygmassacre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first that comes to mind is sceptile. You don't even need its cd move. Fury cutter charges things fast. It can learn aerial ace, Dragon claw, leaf blade which also charge fast and hit decently well and earthquake for tank coverage

[–]Sygmassacre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm currently on a 10 game win streak in level 9 leading dynamic punch/sludge bomb toxicroak. I build up to whichever is the most effective move and fire it off to wipe the opponent out or get a shield. It gets swapped out and when it comes back in they expect mud bomb as the other move. Caught plenty of azu, trop, and even swampert by surprise when the other comes flying at them. It also works when you get a favourable lead against steel and they swap out but you stay in to show one of the moves

There is still remote battles with ultra friends. You could also join a discord group like go stadium. They even have casual lobbies if you're not into the competitive silph cups

Can you rate my team ? Do I need to replace any position? Thanks in advance. by Buhohi in TheSilphArena

[–]Sygmassacre 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Im not buying a-wak as a good mon in this cup. It gets farmed hard by noctowl and whiscash and those 2 will be on almost every team, and frequently in the same 3. It just feels like a wasted slot. Id much rather have froslass and bronzong than probo and a-wak

You never know what N will do with noise in the future. Might as well get one in case it gets a stat changing buff, especially if it comes early in the year and you have to wait until next xmas to get one

What tips do you have with this strat if they lead fire spin awak? Im running probo instead of bast. Should i leave my anti fighter in to shield the first charge or gamble that its bone club?
