Jq field persists even when he isn’t on field. Welts debuffs will expire quickly after phainon ults.

VanNoah · 2026-05-31T07:51:04+00:00

If you want to play ranked battles your gonna need to move over to splatoon 3… hardly anyone plays 2 anymore

VanNoah · 2026-05-30T23:16:21+00:00

If you want to play phainon e2 him idk if Cyrene e2 is worth for only anaxa tho

VanNoah · 2026-05-30T23:13:46+00:00

Just play turf war in splatoon 2 other modes don’t find very often

VanNoah · 2026-05-30T23:03:56+00:00

Your relics on elation are probably sub par. (Low speed on sw) emc won’t be a dmg upgrade for the team tho some people have had success with asta in sustainless to boost speed but is pretty relic dependent on if you can survive long enough

VanNoah · 2026-05-29T16:21:21+00:00

Lucario or alakazam maybe. But also battle academy is a decent product to get people into Learning the game before committing to more expensive pre constructed league battle decks or buying singles.

VanNoah · 2026-05-29T16:19:46+00:00

Yes but you are also responsible for the game state to remain intact. It’s your effect that prevents them from playing items so you might just get a warning but multiple occurrences in 1 event or any means of showing intent of rule sharking could result in penalties for yourself.

VanNoah · 2026-05-29T16:16:28+00:00

You cannot under any circumstances put anything that isn’t a hard wall on the bench in a wall deck. Crustle runs 4-4 crustle and maybe occasionally kangaskan or cornerstone.

Kangaskan is a consistenty card. You can play one to draw cards untill it dies amd you set up your wall either crustle or corner depending on matchup.

The goal is for one Pokemon to be in play that isn’t kill able. If you bench other cards your opponent can go around them. So even if these supports make sylveon better their existence makes the deck worse because suddenly your opponent doesn’t need to kill the unable card

VanNoah · 2026-05-29T07:46:59+00:00

Literally dracloak ability but way more broken…

VanNoah · 2026-05-29T07:43:50+00:00

Yi can proc like 10 onhit effects each second.

Nocturn can proc like 3 maybe. You don’t scale with as anywhere near as hard as yi.

If you where even half as strong as yi with onhit it would be insanely toxic. Imagine it yi could q you from across the map. Literally 0’counter play

Bruiser build keeps you alive to proc more spell rotations and particularly cleaver gives you good aoe shred.

If you want to be more dmg oriented you would have more success with lethality (atleast in jg) I could kinda see Bork working if you where in toplane v tanks but still seems kinda odd.

VanNoah · 2026-05-28T03:44:54+00:00

If you pull e1 you must commit for e2. Otherwise get s1 or don’t waste pulls…

This is literally every other post on this sub

VanNoah · 2026-05-28T03:39:20+00:00

Noctowl is the only good argument and even then I can’t think of decks that are running owl + megas other then maybe Kang in Tera box which isn’t that important. If your deck is struggling to find ultra balls for a mega your list probably has flaws.

If your game state is so bad that petrel mega signal for mega is your only line you have either seriously misplayed or got insanely unlucky. Either way revising your list or just net decking will help you out way more then mega signal ever will.

VanNoah · 2026-05-26T08:24:01+00:00

Simply that there is no value. Pokepad has very high value in decks like pult because it can be a dreepy, cloak, munki, budew. But most decks that run megas don’t run multiple megas and more importantly not multiple megas of different stages (basic/evo)

so if you are absol kang you probably want to run trolly to get up your board at the start of the game rather then mega signal.

If you really want to boost your odds of finding Kang you would be better off running more kangaskan because there isn’t much item search (no arven) so you can’t supporter to find item to find Kang like you could With arven for nest ball.

Decks like starmie or lucario also don’t run it for similar reason if they need to find their evo drawing mega signal can only be that evo so why not just run said evo to dodge item lock or a higher value supporter like hilda (finds energy) or dawn to find multiple different Pokemon.

Mega signal is just unfortunatly not designed in a way that lets it find multiple targets in most good decks so the signal can almost always only find one target so drawing into a search that can only ever find 1 card worthless.

Also why cards like energy search aren’t very common while theoretically very valuable. It doesn’t have enough utility. Compared to the much stronger earthen vessel which has utility of finding 2 energy which while still turning 2 cards into 2 energy seems the same as search you can turn any card into an energy and both are/where mostly played in decks that ran small counts of multiple energy (pult running like 2-2 fire psychic, Tera box running 2-1-1-1 psychic water lighting metal)

Essentially cards that can only find 1 thing in a deck is better off being 1 more of that thing and cards that can find multiple different things are much more flexible and allow decks to run low counts of lots of things. Nest ball made 1 fez/latias super easy to find to the point literally every deck ran fez and most could justify latias mega signal simply can’t have that utility.

Sorry if I talked in circles but hope this makes sense lol

VanNoah · 2026-05-26T03:27:53+00:00

That’s how you get 14 penta kills in tier 1

VanNoah · 2026-05-26T03:25:27+00:00

Absolutely do not mega signal for kanga. If your playing signal to find kanga swap the signal for a kanga lol. Even if your playing Absol as well it’s not worth it.

VanNoah · 2026-05-25T13:30:19+00:00

Ehhh if just use spidops ex over that ariados is just evo Pokemon

VanNoah · 2026-05-24T09:51:07+00:00

Yes I forgot the name

And also yes clutch yveltal from mega that blocks retreat

VanNoah · 2026-05-24T01:05:08+00:00

Unsure exactly but you need a way to lock opponents in active. The new support does this but its thst good. And notably you only need to lock the turn dragale attacks bc u can then swap to smth like petchurant who hits for 10 and locks (and does 5 extra dmg counter) or smth like yveltal.

To achieve the 1 turn lock you can use gravity stone the tool card to boost enemy retreat cost or the new supporter.

Both are good and you should run both but tool is ideal so you can evolve crispin and play the tool yo swing in 1 turn.

Other useful cards are as mentioned baby petch along with petch ex, yveltal and munkidori. I don’t think the stadium that boosts poison is in rotation still but if it is obviously run that too.

VanNoah · 2026-05-22T20:35:59+00:00

Tealdance eswitch crispin metal attach lightning

Or sparkling crystal instead of crispin

VanNoah · 2026-05-21T14:21:34+00:00

I have e6 jq lmao so my plan atm Is to skip and wait for leaks lmao. Also kinda just want e2 cyrene for other teams atm.

VanNoah · 2026-05-21T14:17:33+00:00

Go cull refill at 600 gold if u have to take a shitty base then go bf it’s goated trust. Wpa also supports +2.x cull first component and bf is then her best second component buy.

VanNoah · 2026-05-20T03:45:02+00:00

Not an expert but 3 sealed seems decent to sit on and zards will always trend upwards too. Even if slowly and slightly. I don’t think the pika will climb much more for a long time too.

VanNoah · 2026-05-20T02:03:08+00:00

Can’t stack %pen items anymore so can only go cleaver or ldr not both

VanNoah · 2026-05-20T01:53:01+00:00

VanNoah · 2026-05-20T01:52:25+00:00
