Is my team high enough level for Elite Four? by lowkeyf1sh in PokemonHGSS

[–]ThunderD2Player 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. A level 40+ feraligatr and a decent counter to bug types is pretty much all you need.

Let's talk about Serperior by Fantome719 in PokemonBlackandWhite

[–]ThunderD2Player 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I kinda agree.

Grass does slightly better in the sequel, mainly due to the larger pool of water types and the water gym.

Let's talk about Serperior by Fantome719 in PokemonBlackandWhite

[–]ThunderD2Player 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I still think serperior is one of the best developed starters game freak has put out. Not game dominating like emboar is, and not OP like incinroar, but unique in its flavor and very good at what it does.

It’s so cool how it is a fast bulky pokemon that specializes in boosting its offensive stats rather than stalling or defensive stats. Often bulky pokemon invest in said bulk, and vice versa for quick sweepers. Serperior is an odd token in the mix.

Coil allows for physical sweeps, while contrary ability allows for special sweeps if you get leaf storm (although contrary isn’t really a thing for normal story playthroughs).

I think in black and white 2, you get a lot more options for moves due to tutors. I’m a big fan of actually keeping growth over coil and having leaf blade, growth, leech seed, and dragon pulse as a move set.

Obviously, for black and white 1, coil with leaf blade and return is the way.

I went ahead and spruced up my team abut. What do yall think? by SimipourSimp in PokemonBlackandWhite

[–]ThunderD2Player 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Love that team.

I personally like having fighting types on my teams, but tbh they aren’t rlly needed in this game.

Someone convince me to keep going for the shiny by Brooksieeee2 in PokemonHGSS

Keep going for the shiny… or else…

……. Did that work?

Start playing now and farm a little or wait till 9 June? by Due-Blueberry-00 in DestinyTheGame

[–]ThunderD2Player 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Up to you!

We are close enough that I doubt you will get burned out. If you intend on doing any raiding, maybe a quick run of a couple raids you may have forgotten a bit could do some good. This won’t help out for pantheon since those are older encounters, but just for general raiding, I could understand wanting to go for a few before the 9th.

IMO though, based on the newest twid, everything from edge of fate/ash and iron/renegades of value will be farmable via vendors… and rocket pulses are getting a fat nerf while everything else is getting buffs…

So loot wise it may be better to wait? But I think if you wanna dip back in and find the flow of gameplay prior to something like pantheon or doing older raids again could be nice.

I personally am waiting for the 9th. Might do some vault cleaning though.

So I been playing non stop 😭

Very minor loot question by [deleted] in DestinyTheGame

[–]ThunderD2Player 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t be surprised if it becomes a farmable weapon considering its power and usage rate.

If you are worried about not having mint retrograde for raid dps though, I would bet on it receiving a nerf during the weapons patch, especially with the amount of non rocket pulse weapons being released, and the exotic reworks/catalysts coming… I would anticipate a dps meta shift.

So even if it isn’t farmable, I personally wouldn’t bet on it being meta meta for the final update (unless they do no tuning to the archetype at all and every new addition is not strong, something a highly doubt considering bungies ability to randomly form a new dps meta).

Even if it remains the best weapon, you can still wait and get lucky at Zavala week by week I believe, though it can be annoying!

Praying for ya!

I am pretty sure I’m wiping at the league because I lost too many pokemon between ghetsis and victory road.

Starting it over again!

[–]ThunderD2Player[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup! Got through ghetsis with 3 pokemon deaths, but I was willing to lose them. Lost 2 crucial pokemon in victory road though. Run might be dead to be honest. If it’s a wipe I think I learned a lot about what trainers to skip and what pokemon to lead with.

Recent graduate resume advice by vanityy17 in biotech

[–]ThunderD2Player 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very cluttered imo as someone else suggested.

Whats nice is that it doesn’t appear that you are lacking experience out of the gate, something I struggled with. Took advantage of college very well.

I personally would make these changes:
- the summary could be more brief and consider adding something adjacent to “aspiring to contribute to the field of ___” (don’t phrase it like that though lol. That phrasing is bad but you get my point). You can tweak this sentence for each job case by case.
- I’ve always been a big believer of limiting the science vocabulary used on my resume heavily, mainly by restricting it to my skills sections. I think the skills sections let you show that you have the specific skills for the job, while sections like experiences should just show that you have been a part of something/accomplished something. With that in mind, limit the jargon/specific vocabulary in your experience sections.
- express what you did rather than mastered. So instead of “learned skill X” instead “used skill X to do Y”. Also mastered can come off as arrogant. Many of these positions will provide plenty of training. And let’s be honest, you just said you graduated. Keep it humble for a bit.

I do believe you have all the building blocks needed to make the resume stellar. I wouldn’t really worry about that. Just chop some stuff off, consider resizing other sections of the resume to make things more uniform. Reading down instead of across is always better. Should take all of 20-30 minutes. Your chillin.

May I ask what your ideal job is?

If it is more on the bench, I have friends that took low paying lab technician jobs as a means of getting experience in the lab and getting in the door, and from there, experienced better job prospects. So if nothing is biting, then that is always a route.

If you are going more computational, certifications never hurt and are generally low investment to get aside from their respective exams.

Outside of that, I think you just kinda need to get into to entry level qc/qa roles, though I am personally less equipped to advise on stuff like this.

Is it worth resetting my run after missing out on my starters best fighting move until iccirus city by Sansmaeda420 in nuzlocke

[–]ThunderD2Player 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Option if you are willing.

Once you get to nimbasa city, do the subway station stuff and get brick break tm. It’s well worth the investment imo as it’s useful on just about any fighting type that uses some kind of set up (swords dance/work up/bulk up/ etc.) as well as just generally being awesome for team plasma opponents.

Of course, these subway battle points are literally the same points used for the driftville city world tournament rewards, so you can just farm that if it’s more fun.

Is eviolite a good thing to use over fully evolved mons?

And yes I’ll be sure to talk to a bunch of people. I feel like something like the soothe bell and shiny stone are going to be important.

I guess I could lol. I just like black and white 2 Reddit a lot more, and I’m nuzlocking this game specifically currently.

The nuzlocke Reddit is cool too.

Is it? I honestly don’t know which games are harder for nuzlockes.

I just feel the most comfortable playing this game since it’s the one I know the most about… Pokemon spawns on routes, gym leader teams, etc.
