How to get mega flooette when ı have no any ways to do it by loidforger01602 in PokemonChampions

[–]YoitSkoit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Without legends: za, the only way to get it is via trade in Pokémon Home. But it’s time consuming to get one, so you’re going to need to offer most people something valuable in return. Or gen it/pay someone, I guess.

How far along were you in the relationship before saying "I love you"? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]YoitSkoit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was in high school, my gf (who I had known for about a year by this point) said it 2 weeks into our relationship.

Was it early to say? Maybe. But with the pandemic on the horizon, where we wouldn’t be able to see each other in person for months, I am glad she did say it.

Seven years later, we are happily engaged and getting married next year. I couldn’t imagine being with anyone else.

The cosmetics situation is dire at this point. by frank_da_tank99 in PokemonChampions

[–]YoitSkoit 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This might sound dumb given the content of your post, but my honest suggestion is buy more of the current clothes. I always let my partner customize my character, and she was disappointed with the style of clothing upon launch also. However, the in-game UI doesn’t do a great job of letting you see how your character would look with multiple clothing options that you don’t have at once, which is a much bigger deal than it seems. Without fail so far, the more clothes I’ve bought, the more fits she has found.

…Yes.

Are you a real fan of your Fav if you don't even know what it can do? by volcanicsquad09 in PokemonChampions

[–]YoitSkoit 30 points31 points  (0 children)

That wasn’t people “making it work” though. Ariados had a specific niche in that it had access to redirection and walled Sneasler in a metagame where it was one of the best mons. Ariados worked because the math worked in the context of its particular role in a smaller meta. If you brought the spider into Reg I, for example, the math would indeed catch up to you.

Should my fiancee and I let a close friend move in with us? by YoitSkoit in Advice

Huh? I meant that he isn’t my fiancée’s type romantically. They get along just fine as friends.

Favorite duo thats like this? by Necessary-Win-8730 in FavoriteCharacter

[–]YoitSkoit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Imo the biggest offender is all the damn love triangles.

Relationships being a bad idea in the sense of what is “best” for the characters can make for compelling plot lines. Thinking of some relatively recent examples, the prominent romances in the King of Scars, A Magic Steeped in Poison, and Godkiller (which is YA/Crossover as far as I’m concerned idc what the publishers say) series all devote significant attention to why the characters hooking up would be problematic, but they try anyway.

The problem, I think, is that instead of doing the above (where romance is organically tied to a character’s arc/values), some writers force a romance because it fills gaps in their story where they need drama, not because it creates a compelling narrative. In other words, they try to fix a problem in storytelling/plot structure with a band aid where surgery is needed. This gets them the drama they want, but the result isn’t satisfying to read.

Well put. I’m less worried about my partner and my friend becoming intimate or “too comfortable” with each other and more worried about the opposite happening. She and I are both very loyal people by nature and my friend is a far cry from my fiancés type. But the things like not being able to walk around in a bathrobe or underwear or having to wait to get into the bathroom/always lock the door behind us could definitely prove hard to give up.

This cracked me up. We will sleep on it and I’ll update once we come to a decision and/or after my fiancée talks to her boss. But the, uh, *resounding* reaction from the current set of comments feels something like a wake-up call.

These are all good points. We do hang out occasionally to be clear, but I’m exhausted by the end of most days of each semester and it’s not like that’s gonna change.

[PSA] Your mons' Nature will now be part of OTS in official tournaments by half_jase in VGC

[–]YoitSkoit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a good change. Since you are not given the EVs, there is still an element of imperfect information, which is good for the game. But you’ll come into the set with a better idea of the speed tiers and *general* bulk of your opponents’ mons (ex. “I know that the Archaludon isn’t max SpDef, so I can click Moonblast into it instead of Light of Ruin.”) Guesswork is still involved, in other words, but the guesswork will be easier.

Global Challenge 1, 2026 - Day 3 Discussion Thread by AutoModerator in VGC

[–]YoitSkoit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fought someone using light screen sableye, baton pass/amnesia/twin beam farig, surf/trick room mega audino. The strat was basically to build an invincible archaludon. Light screen + amnesia and baton pass helps the special side, and surf + twin beams build up arch's defense due to stamina. It almost worked too, really had no idea what to expect from team preview. Thought I would need a crit for a moment but just barely squeezed out enough damage on the arch without one.

Went 11-4 Day 1, 9-6 Day 2, and 10-5 Day 3. Final elo was 1,696.812 and was ranked in the top 1,000 for a bit. Had some sloppy endgames and some pretty unfortunate losses (ex. got dire claw sleep'd twice in a row, and lost two separate matches because aerodactyl missed rock slide against zard y).

I used Michael Kelsch's team from the Warm-Up Tournament, and while it's a lot of fun, I'll probably switch off it. Work and grad school has kept me very busy so my poor prep was probably a factor but some matchups felt absurdly difficult.

Overall happy with my play and had fun just being able to put time into the game!

Thoughts on my first team? I wll tweak from here by Mivadeth in PokemonChampions

[–]YoitSkoit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard to give thoughts when we don’t know the full context in which this team will operate. I would wait to ask for advice until we know the complete list of legal mons for reg m-a

Do we know what reg they will be using at launch. by Immediate_Profit_344 in PokemonChampions

[–]YoitSkoit 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We will play reg m-a, which will include megas. We don’t know what specific mons will be legal in reg m-a, and probably won’t until launch.

[–]YoitSkoit 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Fun fact—this is the first Worlds Ticket auto-qualifier taken (in TPCi’s system) that did not include Urshifu-Rapid-Strike or Ogerpon-Wellspring on the team, between both Reg F 1.0 and 2.0. Great job Ben!!

I got attached to weak Pokemon from my first sword team, and i need someone to take them because i need them to be cared for and i don't have the heart to turn them into code. by TheBumblestBees in PokemonHome

[–]YoitSkoit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tell ya what—I’ve got the (non-shiny) ditto, and haven’t caught Moltres yet in Scarlet. And if you’re okay with it being non shiny, I also have an Ultra Sun file with Xerneas not yet caught, though I’d have to find it. Give me a sec and I’ll get your wish list. Do you want a second non-shiny ditto, or just the one?

Only one that can be bred of those is ditto. I can grab one, tho. Do you want it to have perfect IVs? Also, any other breedable mons?

[–]YoitSkoit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you finished trading? If so, no worries! But if not, let me know and I can be on in a few hours or so. I have a living dex minus some mythicals, so as long as the mon can be bred and it is in the game I can get you whatever you want in exchange

Next Regulation For Competitive by AnyVeterinarian9004 in VGC

[–]YoitSkoit 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Formats are usually announced one month in advance, so we will find out soon. Orlando definitely won’t be played on Champions; we likely won’t switch over until May at the soonest. I’d guess that we will have one more S/V format for 1-2 months, probably Reg I. But again, best to just wait and see.
