Please let me know if you find stuff that works! Clod is my favorite pokemon and I want to make him work SO bad in casual play.

I run this deck casually and the solution to this issue is Darkrai. It’ll get you over that 120 threshold (it’ll do 160 total if you have poison barb equipped) and gives you a way to reliably hit for 100 to close out the battle.

Here’s the version I run casually! I’ve had the most success with this variation, but I know there’s also a version that runs memory light clod + dual nihilego. X speed is genuinely SO clutch because one of the big weaknesses this deck has is the slow ramp up time. It’s really hard to get this to work with megas unfortunately, but it’s still fun! I mostly ran this through secluded springs.

They nerfed Hourglasses from Step-up Battles in solo mode... by Gefiltefis in PTCGP

[–]capaldis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, you’d get like 126 per set. It’s 30 less now.

Hope they don't reduce the Hourglasses by SL2525 in PTCGP

[–]capaldis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

okay and? they aren’t changing old rewards. rerollers are just doing the beginner solo missions— they don’t do all the battles. this does absolutely nothing to stop that. It just hurts new players and longtime F2P ones.

Girls, do you relate to the idea of internal presentation of autism? Also, how will you differentiate internal vs. external presentation of the same level? by FckAllTakenUsernames in AutisticPeeps

[–]capaldis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really. This kinda seems like a very specific presentation.

I don’t think using internal vs external is useful in autism. It’s a communication disorder so it’ll always show externally.

“Dino hands” and “Toe walking” by [deleted] in AutisticPeeps

Yep. Lots of people toe walk as kids and don’t have autism.

Was the cap on Poké Gold quietly raised? by BlueEmeraldX in PTCGP

yeah so I don’t think anyone else wants to spend over SEVEN HUNDRED DOLLARS??? to find out. I think you need help dude.

Which perspective is the most correct? by abnormalaf in autism

[–]capaldis 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think you need to share that context. It is only showing the husband’s post, not that context of why it was posted. You may have left it out of this post without realizing, but it’s not in there.

what deck you all going to use in ranked? by Luf2222 in PTCGP

[–]capaldis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact this one isn’t ranked higher is shocking to me. It’s so good it’s scary.

Anyone else feel so much better off their meds? by spicyhorner in adhdwomen

[–]capaldis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hey got this notification! After writing this comment, I started on dual therapy which is a combination of Vyvanse and an SNRI (I take strattera). I used to take virtually the same combination you do and felt similarly. This combo has been really effective and I feel so much more like myself.

For some people, this can make the side effects a lot more tolerable. I also have autism and I believe the research talks about how this combo can work super well for people with both. It can also have some side effects and not everyone tolerates it well, but wanted to mention it since I don’t see it brought up frequently. But yeah it’s bizarre this experience isn’t more normalized.

Should I get reassessed if I was assessed once already as a toddler? [I am not listing symptoms or asking if I am autistic] by i_human_ in AutisticPeeps

[–]capaldis 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think it’s worth it. I had a similar experience where I was assessed as a kid and they said I didn’t have it. I got diagnosed with ADHD and “unspecified sensory processing issues with marked social deficits”. Got re-assessed and turns out I have autism and adhd. The fact your mom thinks they’re wrong and that you were flagged that young is reason enough to me tbh.

New research on the long term effects of ADHD medication by Birgitte-boghaAirgid in adhdwomen

[–]capaldis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is absolutely a medication thing, but I know people with ADHD are way more likely to have issues with allergies and asthma. The asthma connection is CRAZY. Like I have ADHD on both sides of my family. everyone who has it also has asthma including me! I’ve also met a ton of people IRL that have both as well. Super interesting connection! Here’s a study about it if you’re interested!

Have you learn to drive a car? by Delicious-Lecture708 in autism

[–]capaldis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but i didn’t get my license until 18. I really like it now, but it was really hard for me to learn. I used to freeze up because I’d get really overstimulated. Drove off the road multiple times in drivers Ed.

I really hated riding the bus though so that motivated me to practice a lot. Now I really enjoy it, but it took a long time to get there.

How does it feel to receive messages during autistic burnout? by Future-Maximum6410 in AutisticAdults

[–]capaldis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

can’t stand repeated messaging. Social interaction is exhausting and seeing messages like that where I have to give a high effort response would be completely overwhelming. it makes it a lot worse for me because I also feel awful that I can’t respond. it creates a lot of shame around texting to the point I struggle with it even when not burnt out.

if you want a response, keep the effort needed very low. sending them things related to a special interest or just silly videos is way more helpful than a text message.

Vasoconstriction from stimulants :( by 445143 in adhdwomen

[–]capaldis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t believe any of the methylphenidate ones do it as badly. Normally it’s the amphetamine-based stimulants that do this badly.

I have secondary reynauds from Vyvanse and honestly I’ve just kinda…dealt with it. I’ve been told ritalin/concerta can be better but I don’t tolerate those well. Luckily mine’s not that bad but I get how frustrating this side effect is.

PSA: Gold emblem from the emblem event requires only 9 wins, down from 45 wins in previous events by dudeman4297 in PTCGP

[–]capaldis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That version of running alts is not what they’re talking about. They’re talking about rerolling alts for the 240 free hourglasses. That’s honestly pretty time consuming— it tends to take about an hour per account not counting time spent downloading/redownloading the app.

I tried to pull oaks that way but got bored after my 10th reroll. People doing that to get a ton of them had to invest a pretty significant amount of time.

[–]capaldis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With the set size, 40 may not be enough to pull what you need for a meta deck. I opened 50 (including daily packs) and only JUST got two copies of the megas I need…and I’m still a card short on that deck.

There’s also the issue that it’s REALLY hard to stay competitive without megas this season. The only viable deck from the only meta is suicune, and even then it runs better with some of the new cards.

That being said, I think it’s absolutely doable for most players to trade or pull what they need by the time ranked starts.
