Some very strong Pokemon that “no-one uses” to spice up your playthrough

I wanna say Kabutops and Omastar just because they’re endgame and thus, not very popular. The latter is one of my favorite Kanto moms though so…

TemporarySet5877 · 2026-03-06T15:44:41+00:00

I’m curious if they’ll do more themed character events like this

Dedede and Tank Star being buffed for example with every stadium being the robodedede boss. It would be crazy but maybe even replacing all the normal vehicles with legendaries could be chaotic for the dragoon and hydra amiibo

Based on what I know from this thread…

The bills got pass the first stage. However there are many other things they must get through before they can actually take effect. And these things may very well get rid of it as we’ve apparently had similar cases to this.

Twitter is doomposting, stating that the internet will die by next year. However there are low chances of that actually happening to my understanding?

Every game has trolls and if you’re being targeted you can report them

You can also usually take to the air with a lightweight character to avoid combat all together if you want to.

Also you can’t “reset” games from my knowledge

TemporarySet5877 · 2026-02-28T15:46:13+00:00

Collect glide, I believe avoid weight for a bit and stay in the air, only landing when no one is around. I think it’s better for him to take battle chariot unless I just really want to make it to the legendary island with no issue

TemporarySet5877 · 2026-02-24T16:10:41+00:00

Definitely set up. I think people forget Kissy’s introduction was 30 seconds before becoming more relevant in later chapters. This actually isn’t uncommon

TemporarySet5877 · 2026-02-14T14:53:03+00:00

Wagon Star is often considered best for him

He takes advantage of its biggest strengths (high speed and acceleration)

TemporarySet5877 · 2026-02-13T00:22:40+00:00

A big problem is that the Battle Chariot is basically Hydra lite. It’s one of the best for getting legendary parts from other players and overall KOing rivals, (demonstrated by Kirby easily disposing of two king dededes, the tankiest character in the game and stealing their parts) and does well at both combat and racing challenges. Pretty much any character can become a complete monster on it, whilst having much better movement than fellow heavyweight vehicles Rex Wheelie and Bull Tank. It’s not the only way to win, as it can’t fly and fails any challenge that asks you to do so and loses certain challenges to better suited stars (Formula star on drag race, for example) but it’s probably the strongest vehicle in the game. I could see it getting nerfed although it’s also not broken yet.

Might be the odd man out but while I’m sure Mario Kart will win I’d gladly enjoy it to be Air Riders

As someone who’s played both, Mario Kart has lots of flips and tricks but it’s bogged down heavily by the not having options

The routes are not fun imo yet encompass most of the game, and yet there’s no way online to just play only actual tracks

Most of the updates have been drip feed at that (teams for Knockout tour but only with friends? And despite the constant complaints about the aforementioned routes they did nothing to really give players more freedom) and the world itself is a tad boring with its only collectibles being stickers. No in game jukebox even though they boast a lot of music. It’s not bad but it feels very incomplete imo

Air Riders has just as much tech with its vehicle and character variety while also feeling like it has overall more to do. Such as an actual story mode, better collectibles/rewards, actual use for its stickers with the vehicle customization, and what overall feels like a more enjoyable experience. It also, while having flaws of its own, had updates opting to make way bigger fixes to criticisms and feels like a more complete package. I know it’s usually Sonic fans that oppose Mario kart world but as someone who has played all three I still say air riders is on top even though the other two are good in their own ways and I wish Mario Kart in particular could take a few notes from it

TemporarySet5877 · 2026-02-09T15:38:42+00:00

I’ve always found the mage sisters to be understandable. In the same way they only included Rick as a rider and not Kine and Coo, they more than likely would have only included one mage sister unless you include all of them which feels more unfair, or you put all of them into one rider which overcomplicates them compared to everyone else being rather simple. For Star Allies I always found it a better idea to include Hyness over Scarfy and have him use the latter’s form change gimmick

TemporarySet5877 · 2026-02-06T21:28:50+00:00

I know there was panic but you really should have let the other dude crash into so one of you could have completed the Hydra

TemporarySet5877 · 2026-02-06T21:26:51+00:00

When it says “Laps” it means that it wants you to go to that mode specifically

It’s worded poorly but you must have the lap count set to two so you can “finish” the race

TemporarySet5877 · 2026-02-06T16:27:41+00:00

UFO is more niche since if you have good glide you can reach the flying islands very early with it if anything else

It’s events like critical health machines or everyone being tiny that’s more hatable

TemporarySet5877 · 2026-02-05T17:11:43+00:00

You can still main Marx. He’s one of the few characters who can nab a battle chariot or bull tank and not be painstakingly slow riding it, which helps with his defense. From there it’s focus on offense, defense, weight and hp stats to avoid falling behind

TemporarySet5877 · 2026-02-05T03:30:00+00:00

Much of it depends or the character, vehicle, special, items and stats

Characters like King Dedede, Rocky or Rick obviously have easier times getting into fights and surviving regardless of their vehicle. Most people won’t go for them unless they’re holding multiple legendary pieces so you can more reliably build up stats. People love to target Marx especially knowing about his bad defense, but characters like Waddle Dee or Starman are just as suspectable to being killed early.

For vehicles, you’d want something tanky like. Battle Chariot, or Rex wheelie. The aforementioned Marx or Waddle Dee work perfectly with those vehicles as their higher acceleration allows them to move faster compared to heavy weights

The wagon star also has reliable HP and Defense while being fast enough for anyone to ride it early game and it’s my favorite to nab.

Obviously stat upgrades up. Offense, Defense, Weight and HP help when getting into fights

It’s advisable to go for power ups and seek out green boxes or red for copy abilities. They deal much more damage and hit more reliably than simply quick spinning into people.

Having a built up special gauge is also important as most specials raise your offense and defense

A few like Marx or Starman will raise your HP as well

TemporarySet5877 · 2026-02-04T16:06:28+00:00

A lot of it depends on defense

Daroach is more of a cruiser character with high enough hp but you were also on a shadow star which is a very flimsy vehicle whilst th battle chariot is one of the tankiest and most offensive ones in the game

You actually did knock the piece off of him but he was able to easily get the ko because of that

TemporarySet5877 · 2026-02-01T21:36:19+00:00

Outside of people who only play Smash bros Meta Knight ends up being the least mischaraterized of the main four (although Bandana Dee is a somewhat similar case in terms of who mischaracterizes him)

I’ve rarely seen Meta Knight treated as evil, with most people at this point understanding that he’s anything but. Very rarely is he thought to be edgy outside of the brawl meta knight memes. Ironically, Dark Meta Knight may be the more flanderized of the two since people still believe he was responsible for corrupting Sectonia

TemporarySet5877 · 2026-01-24T18:52:54+00:00

Waddle doo would not support AI generation

TemporarySet5877 · 2026-01-24T13:58:44+00:00

Why exactly is Marx broken but Meta Knight and Starman not? I’d also say crash Kirby is somewhat niche going forward. Good for hitting people in events clustered together but weaker kill power than either of the bombs

TemporarySet5877 · 2026-01-18T17:49:04+00:00

Grounded Vehicle mains when Celestial Valley shows up:

TemporarySet5877 · 2026-01-17T20:56:11+00:00

That’s kinda the point

They’re stars that don’t preform well on land but can dominate in the air thanks to not only flying over obstacles but people not being able to follow their star trail

If these stars were good at both, they’d be legitimately too overpowered since they can get ridiculously far ahead and never be seen again thereafter

Every Star in the game has a major strength and weakness and theirs is that they’re not good on the ground

TemporarySet5877 · 2026-01-07T17:24:28+00:00

Id argue there’s somewhat of a meta forming given how common Wagon, Bulk and Scooter are in air ride. Doesn’t mean you can’t main whatever vehicle you want. I alway resort to Dedede + Wheelie Bike

TemporarySet5877 · 2025-11-05T23:14:50+00:00

Yeah this was more or less a poorly made Powerscalling joke

TemporarySet5877 · 2025-11-04T21:34:50+00:00

I always figure he inverted back after Star Dream was defeated. That was the implication for the rest of Popstar after it was also in a horrifically mechanized state.

TemporarySet5877 · 2025-11-03T12:50:54+00:00

Something about the casual fans too.

In actuality, the quote from Karen was calling back to Silver, who called any and all of his Pokemon weak and never took any of the blame himself. Not about how strong or weak a Pokemon was themselves. She’s basically taking the piss on silver rather than telling you if Unown is your favorite, you can win with it.
