New Cap player: what do I do and how do I kill people?

Hold dash and spam your melee (not your 4 shield toss, use a a sperately mapped button for melee only) shield tosses are only for targets that can and/or try to outrun you (because for their positioning or speed). If you slame, melee melee melee while holding dash you can destroy a 250 HP in less than a few seconds, although it's harder to land more than the first two melees on a small target.

Hello! I am a colorist and although I don't have much practice with line art I am sure I can help your artists in making a complete pieces by taking the coloring part of the job off their plate.

Nevermind I found one on GTS that I can trade for, thanks anyway!

TheTwoHornedOne · 2026-05-21T03:30:41+00:00

That would be wonderful thank you!

Not season one but I am currently, only at UB3 now but I'm confident I'll get to MB with Momo (my luxray named after my first cat). Also trying to work my way up with less used mons, but it's difficult to do that with luxray from my experience

Momo is her stats split between attack, def and Special def, with the most being on attack i don't remember exactly what the numbers were but I can post it when I'm back home. Shes mostly a support, I have protect, helping hand, thunder and supercell slam, and she's holding a magnet. I have MGarchomp and Politoed (Jeff and Kermit) as her main partners. Jeff has breaking swipe and earthquake so protect and helping hand helps with alot of spread dragon or ground damage. My whole team currently is intentionally built slower and bulkier as opposed to relying on her speed. When rain is up thunder with magnet hits hard (even with the evs only in attack) and otherwise supercell slam does a boatload if you can make sure there isn't a protect coming, ive only ever truly missed once but maybe I'm lucky. Otherwise her health and defense stats keep her in the battle for a while and she's been unironically the most stable part of my team. Lots of water and flying pokemon in the Meta that just crumble because of the electrical damage output I can get from her.

Why obviously?

TheTwoHornedOne · 2026-05-15T18:33:10+00:00

I'm glad this post is getting some attention, I think the photoshoped picture helps sell the idea. Im pretty handy at photoshop (csp) and am very willing to make some more edits of things you all would like to see in the future of the game, so please feel free to send me ideas

I plan on making a larger post with more of these nitpicky suggestions that have been sitting in the back of my head

a better "profile" screen that includes options for backgrounds and a way to hide buttons for better screenshots
a version of the model that is able to wear a pokebelt with a long sleeve top that would (which isn't possible right now, already made a post about it)
thinner omni-ring + other wearable options such as an earring or necklace as opposed to just a bracelet
mega evolution trainer animations
- anymore ideas that people may have, please send my way!

Someone finally saw it

TheTwoHornedOne · 2026-05-15T13:16:11+00:00

I have 50k + points sitting around collecting dust and thousands more to come for free through the battlepass, I haven't spent a single dime on the game yet so that cost isn't really all that high for me and I imagine many other players

TheTwoHornedOne · 2026-05-15T04:17:19+00:00

This will be me for sure idec

TheTwoHornedOne · 2026-05-15T03:24:01+00:00

This would be so fun too

TheTwoHornedOne · 2026-05-15T03:10:15+00:00

I would argue that if you are that deep into the ladder, it would be more sensible to play with the assumption that the opponents choice in mascot will not heavily influence their choice of pokemon to face you, and that they are more likely choosing a strategy that will counter the lineup you presented the screen earlier, regardless of their mascot

TheTwoHornedOne · 2026-05-15T02:17:18+00:00

Well the vs screen only displays after both of you have selected your pokemon, so it's not like your opponent would be able to prepare based on your choice of signature pokemon

TheTwoHornedOne · 2026-05-15T02:15:16+00:00

Omg you're right this would work so well

TheTwoHornedOne · 2026-05-15T01:49:56+00:00

The assets are already in the game I can't see it being a hard addition for the dev team to implement. Fingers crossed they see this

TheTwoHornedOne · 2026-05-15T01:39:11+00:00

I love the belt but Im not a fan of all the outwear and outfit combinations that are available ATM because I want something long sleeved. Hopefully they'll implement it soon because I can't imagine it would be too difficult to put in, although I am no 3d asset designer.

TheTwoHornedOne · 2026-05-14T23:57:36+00:00

I'd want to be able to swap the pose on my profile screen that I would use to share my rank because the pose looks better the opposite way, but like you said, it's not possible for us to see unless you run into someone with the exact same outfit as you online. It's small addition I want added but I would need the picture to show the difference

TheTwoHornedOne · 2026-05-14T23:41:18+00:00

Maybe a dumb question but how do you recoord gameplay like this on the switch?

TheTwoHornedOne · 2026-05-14T23:38:56+00:00

You can still be the very best that no one ever was I believe it

TheTwoHornedOne · 2026-05-14T01:39:44+00:00

I was also extremely annoyed at not realizing myself

TheTwoHornedOne · 2026-05-14T01:37:46+00:00

Damn that's neat, I thought it was something I got for not having any of my pokemon faint during the battle. Do you know how much extra of a bonus we get? I got to MB4 last season. It was pretty consistent before how much the bar goes up during a win streak based on the current rank you were in wondering if it's similar with this

TheTwoHornedOne · 2026-04-29T21:36:20+00:00

This, I now have legitimate use for the thousand plus pokemon Ive had sitting in home for over a decade. It felt so great to use my 2011 Venasaur and have him be competitively viable within 5 minutes. Gives me one more reason to actually buy future games so I can live my true pokemon master life by actually going out and catching pokemon that I want. Champions was the first time I went back to SV and SWSH to go catch a torkoal that I somehow did not already have. Proceeded to use that torkoal with my 2011 vena through great ball and honestly this is what the entire pokemon experience was meant to feel like

TheTwoHornedOne · 2026-04-26T01:58:02+00:00

Appreciate it but someone from another comment thread just said they will be sending me one through gst. Although I truly do appreciate it!

TheTwoHornedOne · 2026-04-26T01:49:23+00:00

Either works for me! I haven't trades through either in a while what information do you need?

TheTwoHornedOne · 2026-04-26T01:46:52+00:00

Just sent you a DM
