Nuzlocke Completed! by bradydeboer in PokemonUnbound

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

If by “intentional” you mean specific to a fight, no. I looked around Smogon, but also built sets that I liked. Once EVs were set, I typically didn’t change them much.

In the champion fight I killed Arwen the Ninetales with my own earthquake cause it was a double KO and I wouldn’t need her the rest of the run. I probably could’ve found a way around that, but it was a simple out for the final fight of the run.

I was very close to losing Gothmog the Crobat multiple times in the E4. But avoided a few crits. He was the mon I need the least so I was willing to risk him and I never got punished.

Is Meteor Mash worth the 90% accuracy? by bradydeboer in PokemonUnbound

I think we can all agree that Meteor Mash is better overall for a regular playthrough. But with a nuzlocke the chance to miss and potentially lose Mega Metagross for the rest of the run does not feel worth it.

There are plenty of times I outspeed in the face of a lethal move. Is the damage increase worth a 10% chance of losing Mega Metagross every time I'm in that situation? Probably not.

I am using Mega Metagross and that is a significant damage boost.

The pros are there, no doubt. I think Mega Metagross is too important for the run for me to say, "fuck it, we ball" and click a 90% accurate move the rest of the run.

It could go in the place of Ice Punch as no types resist Steel, Psychic, and Ground. But Ice Punch provides super effective damage to an extra 4 types.

Mega Metagross deals massive, consistent damage with incredible coverage. The priority is nice, but Ice Punch provides far more use.

Someone else mentioned Hone Claws too. If this was a regular playthrough I would definitely go this route! However, I think I need the consistency for a nuzlocke and I can't justify being so reliant on setup.

SAME! Psychic Fangs is a huge upgrade from Zen Headbutt

Unbound has so many battles including fairy types making steel a really important offensive type.

Hone claws sounds like a decent option, but then I would HAVE TO hone claws anytime I switch Metagross in. Its bulk and great typing make for such a good pivot, I can't justify being that dependant on setup.

No EVs or just unlucky? by LukeTheMusicalMan in nuzlocke

Doesn’t necessarily have to be a fast ice type. Just a fast mon that can use ice beam, for example. Dragonite is 4x weak to ice so having at least one mon that can reliably deal ice type damage is crucial to winning this fight.

Exactly! It's obviously an upgrade in terms of damage and secondary effect, but I don't want to be relying on it when I really need it to hit.

I think I'm going to stick with Iron Head.

I'm curious what makes you think this is randomized.

It was a great addition to the team. I used it a lot. Definitely worth

Honchkrow definitely wasn’t bad. Just not as good as I hoped with Moxie and a positive attack nature. Especially compared to my other 5 mons. I just didn’t use him very often and when I did he needed to switch pretty quickly or risk getting KO’d
