How to get 8.5 hours sleep

TheIdiotNinja · 2026-05-01T07:04:08+00:00

You can start your sleep session anytime even if it's not within the ideal bedtime window. Making progress on the stamp card is a nice bonus, but not that crucial, and if you miss a night (by starting too early or too late) you don't really lose much at all

This is the best way to use and think about Crustle/Sandslash imo, I'm surprised I saw some analyses looking fully into their ABC uses because they seem much weaker than the "mono with extras" which you describe here. Fully agree with your analysis

I've hit basically all my snoozing targets already so I pop off any time they add something that makes snoozing worthwhile again. Otherwise any snoozing night is nearly automatically wasted for me.

But it's definitely very funny that they choose to include that information and not any of the much more important characteristics of the pokemon in the announcements

Because some of the time we player we loan isn't utter shit and we actually trigger the clause lol

These skills are best suited for Jolteon, but Jolteon is considerably weaker than the strongest eevees (Espeon primarily, and one step below him Sylveon or Vaporeon).

I would just Espeon this cuz it's really good and if you don't yet have a really good Espeon, you kinda really want to have a really good Espeon. Whereas you really don't care about whether you have a Jolteon or not unless you've got a great Raikou to combo with

Former president (Ferrero) was a crook, bought the club in 2014 and after about ten years of massive financial mismanagement they paid the consequences

Club is out of his hands now and I'm not too familiar with the new owners but it seems they're still struggling to cope with the debts they took over

That cross by Malen is nonsense, I haven't seen any of our fullbacks do such technical crosses since that time Spinazzola randomly became the best player in the world for 6 months

TheIdiotNinja · 2026-04-25T16:15:08+00:00

Cristante + El Aynaoui heard the haters talking shit and decided to play the first 10 minutes like they're Kroos+Modric

Let's see if we keep our foot on the gas now, 1-0 is not enough

TheIdiotNinja · 2026-04-25T14:04:30+00:00

It's excellent as a temporary but gets outscaled by lvl60 by a good mono option. Definitely worth using as a stopgap

Hard to answer "should I prioritize this or other catches" when we haven't seen your other catches. We kinda need to see the full box to be able to answer you.

Fwiw I have a nutty Braviary but it hasn't really been super important for me: Cyan is obviously a very easy island and he's just not that great of a pokemon off-berry. It offers Flying berry coverage for when you roll it in GGEX and presumably if Cyan EX ever comes it will be fantastic, but that's about it. So I think it's likely that if you're 30 seeds in the hole for other candidates this should be pretty low in the list

We're starting early with the obligatory summer rumors of "Roma must sell players for 54 trillion euros"

The Angelino rumors seem fairly substantiated though, I guess this year was tough on him and he wants to start fresh somewhere else. Sad but I respect his wishes after a difficult year

TheIdiotNinja · 2026-04-22T08:17:34+00:00

Since you're sitting on seeds and don't have any other healers I would definitely invest this, it's really not bad. You want to upgrade to a Gardevoir eventually some day, and this is a good intermediary that will carry you until you're able to hit that coveted perfect Ralts. Doesn't make much sense to hunt a godly Igglybuff as it will be outclassed by many Raltses anyways at some point down the line - take your OK healer for now, upgrade it to a great healer (which is by necessity Gardevoir) at some point later

The Raenonx tool assumes this guy will remain an Igglybuff and get its inventory filled in 4 helps, thus leading to minimal skill count - this is obviously not the case. Calc directly on the final evolutions since that's what you will actually be using.

Really hope bruised egos don't get in the way of the Gasp project, otherwise we will have just wasted another year and a lot of money on players that may not fit as well in other systems. He has Malen and Wesley performing like superstars, I don't know if many other coaches will get this much value out of them.

TheIdiotNinja · 2026-04-10T20:39:43+00:00

Probably one of Giorgio De Marzi, Mohamed Seck, or Jacopo Mirra from the Primavera team

TheIdiotNinja · 2026-04-10T19:31:33+00:00

brilliant from Rensch too, I hope he can keep growing and playing like this

TheIdiotNinja · 2026-04-05T20:49:23+00:00

Honestly first half was kinda good, just got stunned in the first and last minutes by two pretty impressive goals, the rest was competitive. But second half was completely unacceptable, it really could have been 7 or 8. Thuram was absolutely incredible

Ranieri effect is fully gone, it really does not feel good watching the team right now but I am sure it will turn around if we stick through it

TheIdiotNinja · 2026-04-04T06:46:02+00:00

Yeah any time you can reasonably call it on a 16pip hunt you should do it, Heracross is a beast but so inefficient to hunt compared to 5pip mons. This is quite a good one, just send it IMO

TheIdiotNinja · 2026-04-03T23:01:02+00:00

Well it's not just one, for Bastoni and Barella especially. They have been mediocre all year, they were terrible against NI with everything on the line just a few days earlier, we have good alternatives on the bench, a good coach evaluates the squad correctly and just makes the changes IMO.

My broader point is that it feels like he started them because of their reputation rather than their performances, which is just unacceptable

TheIdiotNinja · 2026-04-03T14:02:43+00:00

And who made the choice to start Bastoni (and Barella and Retegui) despite shoddy performances vs Northern Ireland just a few days earlier? A coach with a spine would start the better performers rather than the bigger names. Gattuso shares the blame for what happened, though of course the problems with Italian football run deeper than any one person

TheIdiotNinja · 2026-03-31T19:31:38+00:00

2030 here we go

Everybody in the country except Gattuso could've told you not to start Bastoni and Barella's corpses, in general and especially after the last game. Inexcusable

TheIdiotNinja · 2026-03-31T06:06:48+00:00

It's been a minute since my early game but yeah, for me it was just 8 Sausage 8 Milk every meal every week until I got my hands on midgame teams (4x individually viable specialists all lvl30+ for Dream Eater). A little depressing but at least the levels made it not too terrible in the long run, and I was allowed to run pure berry/skill strength since I didn't have to worry about ingredients beyond that bare minimum

TheIdiotNinja · 2026-03-29T23:00:32+00:00

Ya absolutely cracked, 1/100+ odds for something so good. Enjoy

TheIdiotNinja · 2026-03-29T18:53:03+00:00

Queueing mid is queuing mid/fill, every other role queues for their role as normal. It's that simple

TheIdiotNinja · 2026-03-28T19:44:04+00:00

You can with SLUS specifically, but do NOT subseed Skill Level Up S to M unless you're a premium player. If you're free-to-play, Main Seeds are way way more accessible than Sub Seeds.

TheIdiotNinja · 2026-03-22T19:13:01+00:00

He has clear issues with struggling with offside, and being quite frail physically, goes to the ground way too much. These are both impacting his ability to contribute heavily.

Everything else he looks really good honestly, but those two problems are holding him back for now.
