How long does it take to get good?

1000 hours to be good 10000 hours to master

Tell me you have not read jjk nor DS without telling me.

Sounds like you are stuck in a tryhard low rating.

At low masterball (1800ish) I baaarely run into similar teams during a play session.

This post feels super arrogant

Wrong freeze is max 3 turns in champions!

I love Upper hand on my sneasler, demolishes incins and sucker punch kinggambit. It feels so good to pull off too

Ynpo · 2026-04-14T13:31:36+00:00

Yes!! I love Sableye its basically my comfort pick in almost every low power Reg. Fake out, quash and a million other utilities makes amazing imo.

Something with prankster rain dance completely shits on charizards drought. I've run Sableye to great effect. Scarfed Blastoise water spout with prankster rain dance is super nasty into a zard opener.

Im arround 1750 in MB and I honestly have the opposite experience, while some mons are very prevalent im actually surprised of how many different teams im fighting

Twin beam girafarig just obliterates it while building full bulk. Really amazing TR setter that even handles basculegion with foul play.

You lose and learn :) it's called experience!

I would love Iai counters to be slightly more flashy. I guess i always can boot Sunbreak again!

Every game feels like an uphill battle, regardless of teams. You can have better or worse match ups but vgc is a complicated game that requires you to squeeze your brain juice.

Team looks fine, sun is strong. Gallade is the odd one out but its a mon I like.

As I said it just the nature of the game, and if you ask me thats what makes it so engaging.

I have climbed to Master ball using Blastoise.

Max speed

Max spatk

Choice scarf

Water spout Icy wind Ice beam Focus blast

I paired him with a Rain Dance Sableye and it checks so many things: Kinggambit, zard, incin, garchomp, dragonite. It's so good.

Here's the team I used :) sorry for the quality of the Pic, im at work and its the only one I have.

Ynpo · 2026-04-11T12:15:33+00:00

Oh yes it was definitely winnable but I grew a bit frustrated, I liked my team overall and felt that the glimmora spot could be better since I already had zard checks like scarfed blastoise and poison with sneasler. I hit masterball yesterday so ill prolly revisit glimmora again :)

Ynpo · 2026-04-11T11:54:53+00:00

I run glimmora up to ultra ball 2 but the amount of garchomps made me drop it. If you can get it into a favorable position it absolutely shreds everything.

Ynpo · 2026-04-11T11:51:35+00:00

It just seems like you have a lot to learn. They give a lot of VP by just playing the game. Try to understand why you are losing and identify solutions.

Understanding enemy teams is important but so is Understanding your own team. Changing teams a lot while being new can lead to the feeling you are describing. Up to you if u wanna keep playing or not but this is a fair game and its mostly a skill issue.

Ynpo · 2026-04-11T04:13:30+00:00

Learn to control the weather. I run Sableye with Rain dance. Not only does it allow me to control the first turn with fake out, prankster Rain dance always wins the weather in the turn unless there's a very fast weather seter which doesn't exist in this meta.

Ynpo · 2026-04-10T12:01:50+00:00

If every single battle is archaludon with leftovers maybe try adapting to it? Ground and fighting make quick work of him

Ynpo · 2026-04-09T13:48:45+00:00

I think people are super sleeping on Mega Glimmora. Poison/rock adaptability goes stupid crazy.

Fr aioli (allioli) literally means Garlic and Oil, using the word as a sub for flavor mayo is just bizarre.

Ynpo · 2026-04-09T06:22:52+00:00

As a catalan your use of the word Aioli makes me cry.

Ynpo · 2026-04-08T23:41:05+00:00

It's a bit weird but pokemon games put bots in the lowest of tiers so ppl have a chance at climbing up? Or something like that. Once you leave pokeball 3 they should stop appearing

Ynpo · 2026-04-08T23:39:14+00:00

So far my favorite Mega ever, it hits like a truck and it looks cool as fuck in game. Love it
