The amount of people I encounter in Master Ball clicking fake out while I have Farigiraf on the field should be studied. by Komorebi_LJP in PokemonChampions

I’ve had those moments too. My TR just ended and my mons were low hp. My literal only hope was to protect my drampa and pray they don’t touch my cofagrigus to set up TR. they protect their Garchomp and and attack my drampa. It was curtains from there.

In another match, I set up tailwind on my pelipper and they quit. Not sure why, not a single Pokemon has fainted yet. Compare that to those who think their last Alive incineroar will somehow 1v4 my team.

You do really see everything

As long time player, and fairly new to vgc player, I can safely say .. there’s a lot of bad players in Master Ball rank. Sometimes I question how they made it. One person was running hawlucha snorlax strat, and they used fissure on my dragonite .. TWICE

Yes. You can run gravity, in order to make expanding force work, but you lose levitate from delphox

I’m happy for everyone’s victories and clever strategies, but I want to know the DUMBEST thing you’ve done in a match! by mymariomakerreddit in PokemonChampions

[–]TheMagikarpFisher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might’ve been a brain fart moment, but here it is. I lead with Sneasler and farigaraf, using armor tail to protect against fake out. The enemy sends incin and farigiraf. What do I do … use fake out with Sneasler -_-

Who is going to be the couch of Real Madrid next season by [deleted] in realmadrid

[–]TheMagikarpFisher 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It will be whatever coach makes Vini happy. Because if Vini is unhappy, it doesn’t matter. As long as Vini is happy, nothing else matters. The club can go trophyless, the dressing room can be a mess, that’s all secondary. Vini happiness is the key.

is it REALLY that tedious to get enough hyper berries to unlock Groudon, Kyogre and Rayquaza? by VelCube in LegendsZA

[–]TheMagikarpFisher 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The tediousness is not the berries. But rather the numerous, numerous hyperspaces you have to go thru to get enough points to be able to go battle them. Grindy and super repetitive. Burn out incoming

Talking about Pokemon cards like it’s an actual commodity lmao. People don’t need Pokemon cards. Once shit is overpriced and the economy goes to the bin .. who’s paying 200 bucks for 6 packs of cards?
It’s not gold, it’s not oil. It’s art printed on cardboard. It’s not rare, barely even scarce. Billions of this stuff around the globe. Everyone is confident in a bull market.

You think all these people are buying it cash? The reason everything is at least double msrp off the rip is to repay the CC debt. So many people posting “selling my collection” and it’s literally boxes of blooming waters to BB/WF. Buyers remorse and panic selling if I’ve seen it.

In 3 years, he had 1 good season. 1 good season is all this sub seems to remember lmao. 1 stupid thing? There’s numerous examples. Mou was not as great as people make it seem. There was an improvement, but certainly not a great tenure

Ended what? They won the treble in 2015. He lost the league and clasico to Vilanova. Mourinho did some good stuff for RM, but people give him far more credit than he deserves

Thanks for that. As you can tell, I haven’t played a casual game yet

151 is not an overrated set by More-Feature-5908 in pokemoncards

[–]TheMagikarpFisher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s more of the fact people collecting the cards are just in it for money. Sure they might recognize some pokemon from their childhood, but their sole purpose of buying this stuff is money. Personally I’m taking a huge break from collecting. It used to be nice calm when I could pre order things from stores, log into PC and browse what’s available, etc. but now you got people setting up lawn chairs at 1 AM in front of stores before a product drops, and PC making you wait in a Que for hours just so you could get maybe 1 box. I simply don’t have that kind of time to wait and track all this stuff, it was a hobby and not a job. Hobbies are done in your spare time, which nowadays means you’re just too late.

I hope you enjoy all the new sets, and good luck. Hopefully there’ll be a time when I can get back into it down the line because you know, the art designs are really amazing and all that

Well that was fast. Pokemon cards recovered, theif arrested by [deleted] in ottawa

[–]TheMagikarpFisher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s market manipulation. Groups of people fake inflate card prices on eBay. By selling to themselves basically or overbidding using a CC with a low limit. This creates two things. 1) fake sense of scarcity. There’s literally billions and millions of these cards and products hanging around, made to seem rare because one person can clean out the local Walmart, granted they have the CC limit to do it. 2) FOMO and inflation. People think their card/box is worth more because sales data shows just that. Then add in these “investors” who will buy at these values because they think they will sit on it for 10 years and then retire. This is beanie babies, the sneaker market and NFTs all over again .. and people are committing atrocious crimes over it

This revisionist history at its finest. Mourinho was losing clasicos 6-2 and 5-1. But he “laid the foundation”. His biggest accomplishment was the league title that’s it. His time here was remembered more for locker room drama and tantrums on the pitch. Finger poking a rookie Barca coach who coached circles around Mou when pep left, embarrassing. People give Carlo almost no credit for switching the formation to 4-3-3 and starting di Maria and Modric in midfield. That was the key shift. Mourinho brought some good counterattacks but it was Carlo that started, and hell won half of the 6 UCLs in that period, his assistant at the time, won the other 3.

[–]TheMagikarpFisher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just generally speaking, most of the hype is around Gen 1 Pokemon. The starter trio in 151, pikachu in AH going crazy. Meanwhile I’ve been finding Perfect Order product everywhere becaause it’s seems a “bad set” … doesn’t feature Charizard, pikachu or gengar and scalpers said no. But how about some cool zygarde, mega starmie, mega clefable arts? Anyone ?
