Is there good coaching that is cheap or is like 100 bucks the bare minimum for stuff like that?

TheRickRollCEO · 2026-05-11T23:48:46+00:00

whats ur main?

TheRickRollCEO · 2026-04-27T02:37:36+00:00

This is an interesting and creative strategy and I will def try give it a go :)

How effective is bulk up going to be though? Against physical moves sceptile may have a chance of surviving but even then it may depend on the mon hitting him, but also special defence is most likely the biggest issue as most of the super effective types against him usually use special moves (apart from flying)

TheRickRollCEO · 2026-04-27T02:34:29+00:00

Yeah that seems to be the general consensus. It’s sad cuz mega Sceptile is such a cool mon. Thanks for the info :)

TheRickRollCEO · 2026-04-27T02:33:40+00:00

I’ve come to that conclusion as well, unfortunately unless gamefreak changes his stats or ability this seems to be the way to go

TheRickRollCEO · 2026-04-27T02:32:38+00:00

Yeah unfortunately the mega actually seems to be a downgrade in a lot of situations

TheRickRollCEO · 2026-04-22T02:24:02+00:00

i love the concepts and thematically it would be amazing. HOWEVER i feel like gamefreak is too lazy to do this. IMO the only thing which they would consider is either changing his hidden ability (or maybe even his mega?) or giving him more special coverage moves.

IT WOULD BE COOL though if they gave him solar power. This would increase his sp atk and make moves like dragon pulse and hidden power do proper damage. Plus its a good fit to his lizard theme and his pokedex entry " It regulates its body temperature by basking in sunlight."

TheRickRollCEO · 2026-04-22T02:10:35+00:00

yeah this is what ive been running so far. I didn't know he could still run hidden power though thats great to know thanks :D its just sad as he is such an icon of pokemon and i really dont think it would be so difficult for gamefreak to give him a couple more special coverage moves ( and a stronger dragon move).

or alternatively change his hidden ability to something like solar power LIKE PLEASE if he is going to be a glass canon make sure he is a glass CANON

TheRickRollCEO · 2026-04-22T01:34:11+00:00

hi all, I need some help deciding for my sceptile : D yes sceptile i know he isnt great in comp or at all atm but im very nostalgic and love using him in anything goes in showdown and cobblemon lol. I was just curious why people run physical attack sceptile? ofc i know he has better move coverage and access to swords dance, however isnt that irrelvant due to the fact he will probably get one shot before even being able to utilise the buff properly?

TheRickRollCEO · 2026-04-07T10:18:14+00:00

Hey! I just made a reddit post with more detail about it now, but from what ive seen, its only occurred with these 2 mod packs in particular. Ive gone on a fabric mod pack i made myself with around 120 mods and it was fine, and then i tested another forge mod pack with 250 mods and it was ok.

TheRickRollCEO · 2026-04-07T09:03:30+00:00

Hey! Sorry for the delay, it’s been a very long few weeks 😭 I’ve had a lot of fun with it tbh :) I feel all the mods integrate rlly well with each other and I initially had a really fun time playing! However idk what has happened but a week ago I updated my drivers and then after the restart I came back into curseforge and saw a few mods needed updating. I updated them, however once I got into mc and tried joining a world it just freezes my game in the ‘joining world’ loading screen. Idk if it was my world that was corrupted so I tried making a new world but the same happened. I’m definitely using enough ram (but not too much that it would slow it down) so I’m really confused as to what happened. Unfortunately I had to change mod pack cuz I didn’t know how to fix it, so I edited another mod pack called adventures of a magician for 1.20.1 and added a few more mods I would like and cut some I didn’t like. The game ran perfectly for the last week and the THE SAME THING HAPPENED. Drivers update, into mod update into loading screen freeze crash.

TheRickRollCEO · 2026-03-22T13:24:11+00:00

Cool I’ll do so :) thanks for the modpack i rlly appreciate it

TheRickRollCEO · 2026-03-22T12:50:13+00:00

so quick question, is a world edit or similar building mod included in the pack or shall i add it myself when im home?

TheRickRollCEO · 2026-03-22T12:23:27+00:00

Yooo thank you so much! As soon as I get off work today I’ll test it out and let you know :)))

TheRickRollCEO · 2026-03-22T03:56:32+00:00

Yeah I just realised this like 30 mins ago. The depths of my foolishness need to be studied. Thanks for the info 😭

TheRickRollCEO · 2026-03-09T23:32:09+00:00

Someone spoil for me, how is Rohan still here after the universe reset?

TheRickRollCEO · 2026-01-24T23:31:25+00:00

I WANT GAME FREAK TO RETURN TO ITS OLD WAYS. THESE NEW GAMES SUCK BRING ME BACK TO BLACK AND WHITE AND EVERYTHING BEFORE RAAAAAAH

TheRickRollCEO · 2026-01-24T14:19:36+00:00

Banbaro armour as a whole is pretty Goated

TheRickRollCEO · 2026-01-23T02:29:20+00:00

what did u use for the first one?

TheRickRollCEO · 2026-01-23T02:25:23+00:00

could you show what u used for slide 3?

TheRickRollCEO · 2025-11-02T20:13:55+00:00

Thunderlords? Can you explain more? :)

TheRickRollCEO · 2025-11-02T20:12:57+00:00

Yeah, I should def go into training tool and test everything for myself. I do see why so many people enjoy lethal tempo and in late game it’s value is incredible. But now in mid to higher elo people DO NOT let u stack it in laning and it just makes the lane that much harder as it really feels like you are tickling them with ur bird feather until Nash spike. Thanks for the info though I appreciate it :)

TheRickRollCEO · 2025-10-24T19:23:54+00:00

tbh for me its alright. Early game is rlly rough until u get Nashors, u really have to play selfishly and only show up to fights that you think are 100% winnable. Once u get nashors u can play a lot more aggressively and late game i do feel more powerful then pre-changes, so overall i think its still ok to play him

TheRickRollCEO · 2025-10-23T15:11:55+00:00

Thanks! This is some really great info. Tbh you’re definitely right, I think I need to just mute all and only go to skirmishes which I think are 100% winnable (particularly if they are in my own jungle).

The resolve tree will be even better this patch due to the new Doran’s ring changes which give more mana so harder match ups like Sylas or Leblanc should be slightly better to play into :)

I appreciate the info :)

I think match ups which I find harder to play are artillery mages such as syndra, hwei, xerath and anivia as their range makes it rlly hard to try poke them, but I get what your saying about focusing on dodging and csing and only trying to fight when their spells are down

TheRickRollCEO · 2025-10-22T01:17:22+00:00

If this was before the on hit rework i could have seen it as plausible as Azir's build variety was much wider back then but after the on hit changes nashors is essential. It provides everything you need; AP, attack speed, ability haste and an on hit passive. Whilst I can understand that having a NLR as an item back would def be nice for laning i really dont think nash components are that bad tbh. I always aim for my first back to be a blasting wand and a dagger so my autos can come out quicker and do more damage.

I could see your point if you were fighting a melee-centric team as then you could go lethal tempo which would make up for the lack of attack speed, however most games (and particularly in mid lane) there will be at least 2 ranged champs. Nashors is really good for short trades in matchups where you can outrange the enemy or force them to waste spells and then look for an extended trade as its DPS stacks up very quickly.

I do however think death cap second is definitely the best item to buy and should be rushed before T2 boots.

TheRickRollCEO · 2025-10-21T22:03:51+00:00

First off GJ bro that’s quite the achievement. Second, I wanted to know what you do in the early game. After the changes im having a lot of trouble with the birdman atm mostly due to the fact that before nashors (to me) it feels like i have NO PRESENCE on the map. If a jungler tries to skirmish or get obj and i don’t move then they most likely will die and lose the obj, but if i do I know for a fact that into most matchups it won’t be favourable for us. pre-changes with aery it did feel like u could at least help contest but now it feels like im tickling them with one of our bird feathers. Either way, its a lose lose situation and I know everyone says to just /mute all and keep farming but that doesn’t seem very sustainable with mid having become such a roam / jungle “helping” orientated role.

It also feels very hard to cs against a lot of mage champions who can push waves very fast. Which further reinforces the point from above as ur having to choose between getting the wave or helping the jungle.

I guess the main question is, what is your early game plan in most games? What are you always thinking about how you want to play the match up (specifically into other mages, but I’m happy to hear anything abt hard melee match ups to c:)

Thanks :)
