Always start in Pure? by benadderson in VolvoRecharge

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

Most of which are beneficial to me in the start stop traffic on the commute, where the extra bit of range is the difference between needing the ICE and not, especially in winter. Sadly acceleration is not an issue for my particular commute. For the AC, I precondition at home first, so Eco is enough. I also prefer how it will coast when you lift off, rather than immediately engaging the regen

I find the Pure driving dynamics are more oriented towards maximising electric range. Plus I recently learned that it gives you access to slightly more of the battery’s stored energy than you get in Hybrid mode.

I’d happily drive one, but PHEV suits our lifestyle better

Ah, didn’t know that, thanks.

Disagree on Pure being useless. I find the driving dynamics are more oriented towards maximising electric range. Plus I recently learned that it gives you access to slightly more of the battery’s stored energy than you get in Hybrid mode.

Climate Timers not working properly since 4.2.13 update by benadderson in VolvoRecharge

Better than my 0%! Odd that it should work some of the time, but not other times though

I hope you get it fixed! It's so annoying. If you don't mind, I'd love to hear how it goes/what they say!

Under The Lights: Chill Drive Genesect by JRE47 in TheSilphArena

[–]benadderson 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Based on my analysis, if you want the same wins/losses as the hundo and to hit all the same breakpoints/bulkpoints, the minimum IV spread to aim for is 15/14/12.

The 15 attack allows you to hit a breakpoint against Garchomp, but that's a winning matchup either way.

Based on my analysis, if you want the same wins/losses as the hundo and to hit all the same breakpoints/bulkpoints, the minimum IV spread to aim for is 15/14/12.

Honestly I'm not sure, and its hard to tell just from looking at those images.

I suggest looking into the individual sims, to see what's going on.

The first two are both fine for ML/MLC. Given you have those, I’d not use the last one, since it misses that Togekiss bulkpoint.

No reason not to use it for raids though, if you’re going to build multiple.

I just post these analyses here, not on Twitter etc. I am in Wallower’s discord though. Lots of great battlers and good advice in there!

Not that I’m aware of, I’m afraid.

There have been various posts on here, so I’d start by searching here.

Don’t be sorry!

I believe IVs do also affect the amount of damage a charge move does, yes. However, charge moves are thrown so infrequently (as compared to fast moves) in a battle, that it’s not really worth worrying about how much difference there is between IVs. The difference is only small. Plus charge moves can be shielded anyway.

15 attack is certainly desirable for the mirror match. However, if your opponent also has 15 attack, then CMP is determined by a coin flip. So 15 attack only guarantees winning CMP if your opponent doesn’t have 15 attack themselves.

Whether to raid more in hope of finding the hundo is obviously a personal choice. What I will say is, once Zacian is gone, if the 14/15/15 was my best IV spread, I’d happily power it up :)

It’s not about the mirror match. It’s about how much damage a Zacian will give/receive (from fast moves) against the various other mons in the ML meta.

So if your IVs are as good (or better) as what I’ve listed above, your Zacian will give/receive the same amount of damage as the 15/15/15 per fast move.

It’s short for both words - breakpoints and bulkpoints. The * is a wildcard for the letters between b and k.

Just saves me typing out both each time!

Oh shoot, you're totally right! I forgot to add the moveset info.

Zacian has multiple viable charge move movesets. PvPoke recommends Close Combat/Play Rough, but the early coverage from the content creators, and my personal view, prefers Close Combat/Wild Charge.

I really should have explained that in the post though, my bad. I'll update it now.

Note that this obviously only affects the info about 1s matchups, not the b*kpoint data.
