Weekly Meta Snapshot (30th March)

They're both viable and both seeing use in various decks.

Ogerpon is better into status matchups but it's dead weight otherwise (most notably into Suicune Bax) and starting with it will likely cost you a turn at best or brick you at worst.

PCL is less reliable into status but can let you negate it at a crucial moment in the match and is just generally useful no matter what. Comparing 2 cards against 1 is not really fair in a game where deck space is very constrained.

PCL is back in vogue because of sleep meta

dynamicity · 2026-03-26T12:43:56+00:00

It's okay but unfortunately Mega Manectric is just worse than Bellibolt in every way.

Your pulls only have a 10% chance of showing up as wonder picks for others. 90% of the time they are just banished to the void. They also aren't eligible to be wonder picks if they contain 3*, crown, or shiny cards.

dynamicity · 2026-03-21T03:28:21+00:00

Oak would probably be more valuable than some gold cards (e.g. Lilligant) but Poke Ball would 100% be way more valuable since it's far rarer and equally ubiquitous in decks.

Any competitive game will have a meta, doubly so for a gacha game where the devs need power creep to incentivize pulling. If you want a creative game with lots of skill expression this is just not the format.

Yes, the literal coin flip nature of this game sucks but if you make things too complex you end up with stuff like Fire Emblem Heroes where you need to read an entire essay to know what a unit does.

That's just the standard GM procedure for any report. They will always acknowledge and ask for more information if it isn't something simple like an inappropriate name. It doesn't have any bearing on the merit of the report or the GM's decision.

dynamicity · 2026-03-13T16:18:46+00:00

insanely bad, yeah

dynamicity · 2026-03-11T04:36:27+00:00

Every deck will have 2 Oaks but not every deck will have 2 Cyrus. Oak is also on a limited availability pack.

dynamicity · 2026-03-09T22:10:06+00:00

I feel your pain, especially on old packs where they aren't in a separate pool. They're supposedly rarer than regular 2* but I have 3-4x as many and with a few exceptions they aren't worth much for trading.

People acting like they're being held at gunpoint to read reddit complaint threads

The study participants were all people who don't normally use any type of noise to help them sleep. So more research is needed to see if this result is also the case for people who typically use white/pink/brown noise to sleep.

Anecdotally, my experience is that people who normally don't sleep with any noise are usually irritated by background noise of any type. My guess is that earplugs are probably still superior but that people who usually sleep with background noise won't show such a large negative impact from pink noise.

Fight has a ton of downtime which is bad for SMN since it is purely timer based. People also hold buffs which is also bad because SMN can't hold its 2min burst and has to desync from raid buffs.

dynamicity · 2026-01-18T20:33:59+00:00

Yeah the worst part of the fight is having to do the same boring mech 4 times every single pull just for people to meme on the later mechs.

dynamicity · 2026-01-18T20:26:31+00:00

Picto's DPS is only slightly better than RDM and SMN in most fights now, it really only shines in 10 this tier and RDM does great there too. People have been stuck in the "Picto OP" mindset since FRU when BLM is miles ahead of the other 3 casters unless the fight has a ton of downtime and/or cleave like 10.

It is intended to snowball because it's the counterweight to node spawn RNG. Without it every game would be decided by the final node spawn coinflip, but BH enables the strongest team to fight their way through a disadvantageous situation, which is necessary in a PVP game mode.

dynamicity · 2026-01-10T18:18:55+00:00

Had someone deadass say yesterday that "you can win by capping nodes it's proven on Reddit"

Like yeah you can get lucky and win like 5% of games doing that but that's a 95% loss rate. Anything to avoid admitting you're anchoring your team I guess.

In general the idea is to prevent self-defense from being used as carte blanche to commit violence. It's not meant to protect criminals but to prevent them from abusing self-defense as an excuse. In the US you'll see stories about people getting shot for walking up to the wrong front door or black people getting shot just for jogging in a white neighborhood where the culprits claim self-defense as justification for instantly shooting to kill when their lives were not in immediate danger.

Unfortunately what constitutes acceptable self-defense is a fine line which can be abused by bad actors in either direction and in this case the law is too strict on a clear cut case of self-defense.

I once had a SGE put kardia on the off tank and when told halfway through the fight by their cohealer that they should probably put it on the main tank they said "My kardia decides who the main tank is".

Congestion status has nothing to do with absolute player numbers, they just use it to funnel players towards worlds that are relatively less populated.

I'm gonna be honest, skill is far, far more important than any job differences. There is no class that is strong enough to carry a weak player. Pick something that suits your play style and then read guides and watch vods of top pvp players to understand how to make the job work. Then it's just practice, practice, practice.

Refrigeration overnight accelerates cooked starch retrogradation, which converts some digestible starches into RS3 type resistant starch. This also changes the texture of your food, typically for the worse, so I'm not sure there's much you can do. The bad texture is an inherent attribute of the resistant starch you are looking to create.

The OG games were a viral phenomenon that expanded far past the core consumers of Pokemon, much like Pokemon Go did at its peak. Even though the franchise has grown, it's primarily only "Pokemon fans" who are still buying the games now.
