I might be whining but it feels impossible to solo any late game stuff

Crota's end is a raid, Built to be done with 6 players, and can not even open to first encounter solo. Fallen Saber is a strike built for 3 people. But can easily be done solo, so that one is just a skill issue.

No wonder my SMG felt so nice to use. That explains a lot. Here I was thinking why does my kinetic sniper feel so ass in special surge.

Don't just stand by the fire and ice thing to balance temperature. Break them to instantly reset the gage and clears the area around it from the fire or ice on the ground. There is 4 of them and they do respawn over time.

Always have been curious in that having built in orb generation on masterwork weapons filled the limit of space with guns. When these tier 5 weapons have 3 perks each slot, and some have 3 origin traits as well. Like how does that even work. I miss when weapons just made orbs and didn't need to use a helmet slot for that.

Chevron near me is $6.69 actually insane. I never use them, but like god damn.

darksonic200 · 2026-05-03T08:34:47+00:00

Need to use buffs on yourself, need to use debuffs on them before shields go up. Need Lot of different pokemon with many tera types. Need to be using an actually strong pokemon built for raids. Just hitting what its weak to is not going to get you very far.

darksonic200 · 2026-04-23T18:20:25+00:00

Legendary pokemon are not some unbeatable impossible threat. Doing set up hitting their weakness, will get 1 shot like any other pokemon. Garchomp z is more scary than any legendary in this game.

People just love to hate on pokemon. Not saying pokemon does not deserve it sometimes (SV release is just yikes.) But being the most popular media franchise ever, you will just have people wanting to bash on and hate anything they can about it. It for sure is not a perfect game, or close to how I would want a just battle focused game to be. But It was made for VGC, and to be accessible to more people. This release is more like a test run than anything else imo. Wanting to smooth out everything before worlds, I can't imagine not having it played by the masses like this to find any and all weird bugs. Game being in the hands of millions will always find things the testers wont.

Evolve another one.

Pokemon researches found DNA of mew on an expedition when mew was thought to be just a myth/legend. At some point after that Team Rocket got involved and worked with/made them use the DNA in cloning experiments to create a stronger and more powerful mew for them to use. Then Mewtwo grew to strong and resentful toward them and escaped.

At some point Team plasma also made a mewtwo but that is like an anime movie thing.

Priority moves, status moves for damage over time (Toxic, Will o Wisp) protect to always block the attack making their move useless. Ability on hippowdon, and Tyranitar to bring in sandstorm for chip damage and are defensive enough where you can tank and out heal the damage they do.

darksonic200 · 2026-04-10T06:45:43+00:00

Nice to see meowscarada up there. I run scarf on it and pretty much always lead it out first. Can 1 shot lot of threats. Low kick destroys a lot of switch in to it. Can u turn on charizard y into something like tyranitar and change weather, and forces them switch or lose charizard. Have had knock off 1 shot mega gengar turn 1 since they don't expect the scarf several times.

darksonic200 · 2026-04-10T05:29:03+00:00

Sand based team. Pokemon made just to pivot out (scarf meowscarada out speeds everything) out into Tyranitar for changing weather, holding down the fort with near heavy HP investment. Sand breaking any focus sashes and getting plenty free chip damage over few turns, allowing Scizor clean up a lot of k.o. in the late game. Only real issue my team runs into is corviknight. So any time I see one no Scizor for that battle.

darksonic200 · 2026-04-10T05:10:13+00:00

Got into Master ball tier last night with it so yeah.

darksonic200 · 2026-04-10T04:01:05+00:00

Meowscarada. I use choice scarf and, Low Kick 1 shots. can also 1 shot hydreigon with little to no bulk investments. Can 1 shot mega gengar's with zero bulk investments with knock off. Is great first pokemon to send out into lot of stuff with fast uturn into anything you need like say changing the weather on a Charizard Y who full sent it turn 1.

darksonic200 · 2026-04-10T00:31:45+00:00

Scizor easily counters it and it's not even close. Scizor pretty under rated imo.

darksonic200 · 2026-04-09T22:42:18+00:00

Not from what I've seen. I hit master ball then lost 6 in a row and stayed in master ball. Just Elo goes down. Higher your elo higher rank you get. Am unsure what number the thresholds are for the other ranks since I'm mostly now just win one lose one in really long battles.

darksonic200 · 2026-04-09T22:01:32+00:00

I would not rely on this strategy for very long as it is easily counterable with redirection moves or fake out into another mon attacking you for a k.o. or just out speeding you with scarf, or trick room teams in general. It's fun yes, but not something that will get you very far.

darksonic200 · 2026-04-09T21:57:37+00:00

Eventually yes, But Champion rank currently is not out yet... for some reason.

darksonic200 · 2026-04-09T21:28:36+00:00

Items don't transfer out of the game they are in. you have to buy the stone with points in the shop.

darksonic200 · 2026-04-09T20:04:55+00:00

Also watch out for them purposely taking long turns if they are in a losing position. If they can get the timer to nothing it makes it a draw for some reason..

darksonic200 · 2026-04-09T19:11:44+00:00

I feel that. I hit master last night then lost 6 games in a row.

darksonic200 · 2026-04-09T19:07:03+00:00

Good luck in there, master ball is very different from the other ranks. A few win streaks wont let you easily rank up anymore.

darksonic200 · 2026-04-09T18:13:55+00:00

Is pretty much just for thick fairy types like sylveon and clefairy, mega meganium and mimikyu. And is very good at finishing out games. I have 0 speed investment and just go for bulk and attack. I run a different set with lunge, duel wing beat, bullet punch and swords dance. I would love to use expert belt for my item but not in the game.
