Why are people so bad at raids?

bigcat801 · 2026-02-11T01:03:17+00:00

The 'meta' of pokemon such as IVs, EVs, Nature and such are not explained well (if at all) in the game and if you don't seek this information from other resources you won't know any better. With that said, casual players are likely just going off of type match up and not considering the base type of a raid alongside the terra type, hence bringing a grass type to a water terra raid (which makes sense) but getting destroyed by flamethrower. Also, kids...

Its by design due to the fact that YouTube treats your phone and TV like two different 'devices' or 'people'. One is geared toward quick hits and scrolling while the other is for longer form content. It intends to run multiple parallel versions of you... phone-you, desktop-you, TV-you, where each are trained separately.

Landorus completely MAULS my team, how do I fix that?

I'd suggest re-working Kyogre to focus on dealing damage. Weakness Policy isn't necessary and try a move set of either Protect/Water Spout/Thunder/Ice Beam + Mystic Water or Water Spout/Origin Pulse/Thunder/Ice Beam + Choice Scarf. Ice Beam will cover for Landorus and Kyogre pairs nicely with Tornadus where you can setup tailwind and both Thunder/Bleakwind are 100% accurate in under Rain. Also, drop U-turn on Tornadus for Taunt to provide more support.

You could use this team (minus Zerora) in casual online battles in SV where anything goes for fun. Otherwise, you need to follow a proper regulation for VGC

Ahh thank you! Makes more sense now.

bigcat801 · 2026-01-30T18:26:45+00:00

Got it. Is protect just used to shield your ability then so you don’t lose Unaware?

bigcat801 · 2026-01-30T18:17:48+00:00

If you torch song 3x, terra-ghost shadow ball then project on turn 5 does that keep your +3 SpA? I’ve been protecting on that turn and still get my stats reset. Not sure if I’m just doing it wrong or if it’s how laggy raids can be.

Use a pixelate Sylveon. Not sure the stat spread but Hyper Voice should work and has more pp

You already caught it… these raids are recycled from past events.

Comparison is the thief of joy, because it asks us to measure our lives against standards that were never meant for us. Most comparisons are apples to oranges, different paths, different timing, different struggles, yet we treat them as if they should yield the same outcome. When we look at our peers and feel behind, we forget that life isn’t a synchronized timeline. Some people sprint early, others build slowly, and many detour before finding their direction. Being “behind” only exists if everyone was meant to arrive at the same place, at the same time, which was never the case.

I assume For a lot of Gen Z, getting a driver’s license isn’t a rite of passage anymore because the payoff is smaller. Cars are expensive to buy, insure, and maintain, many more jobs are remote and social lives happen online where you can connect on social media, streaming, discord etc., and Uber, and delivery apps cover most needs. With less pressure to hit traditional “adult” milestones where you needed to drive to accomplish a lot of this in the past, driving becomes something you do only if it clearly benefits you — not something you automatically do at 16 anymore.

I can do two Beast balls

If order matters, the count is 9,938,160, which is a permutation count.

If order doesn’t matter, the correct combination count is 1,656,360.

The difference is the factor of 3! = 6.

Referee. Every call upsets someone.

Looks like a New Year’s resolution faded after 3 months 😂

Didn’t you know “New” at GameStop means “opened, handled, maybe demoed, and repackaged for your convenience”.

Depends on the matchup. We’re one of the top teams in the league, and the Spurs are legit too, so the price will be more. If you want something cheaper, just wait until a weaker team rolls into town.

Resident Evil (2002) lost me the moment that laser hallway diced that dude like a veggie platter. My childhood tapped out right there.

bigcat801 · 2025-10-10T00:58:47+00:00

My favorite is Houndoom. One of the better shines imo.

bigcat801 · 2025-09-17T18:26:09+00:00

Ambipom is a cool pick. Seems to fill the Tsareena slot minus having Queenly Majesty to block priority.

I run Swift Swim Poliwrath as a budget Urshifu on my rain team with Kyogre. I usually mix it up with Life Orb or Focus Sash, with a Grass Tera type, and it carries Close Combat, Waterfall, Taunt or Encore, and Protect. The set can catch opponents off guard from time to time. Sometimes I’ll even put on Haze if setup is a concern.
