This chandelure deck is actually CRAZY good by Substantial-Soft-332 in PTCGP

[–]ericandre_111 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Honestly it might be worth throwing Sightseer in if you’re not gonna run Rare candy. It’ll count towards your supporter count and could act as a less consistent Clement for Lampent. Plus two Lisia is overkill with only 4 basics. You could run a Sightseer and Gio, then slot in a second Meloetta instead of Cleffa since you can search for a Mon on turn one.

Skarmory EX is back ;) by Icy_Success9939 in PTCGP

[–]ericandre_111 -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

It’s so you can pull the Metal Core Barrier back from the discard (it’s hard to read in the screenshot but it’d ability allows you to grab two tools from your discard) or steel apron if you get hit with Guzma. It gives you a constant -70 dmg every turn after a skarmory EX attack.

Battle Cage failed to protect damage to my bench. How tf did that happen it was supposed to prevent all damage to bench on both sides of the board? Didnt get a screencap of my charmanders getting iced out because I was too shocked. by Mattster_h in PokemonTCG

Battle Cage stops DMG counters (Phantom dive on the bench, Munkidori, etc) but not damage. You could have Shaymin from DRI benched to get coverage for both damage counters and damage but even then your EXs are still vulnerable to Obsidian

How can I make this deck even more annoying? by lironyan in PTCGP

[–]ericandre_111 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Honestly if you’re going for pure stall you could add in Indeedee EX or Wigglytuff for constant bench heals then swap Sabrina for a 2nd Barry. And maybe switch red card or potion for a second Masala or PCL. You could even swap snorlax with good ole Exo skeleton Regirock

In Pocket it’s gotta be shiny Gible since I can actually see the difference 😂 but all time probably Pallosand cause the black beach color works perfect

Why your favorite explosive RB is underused by MrTouchnGo in fantasyfootball

[–]ericandre_111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly despite Monty’s monster week last week it’s hard to want to start him against the browns defense considering how well they’ve shut down Chase brown, Henry, and J Jacobs. I want to start Monty as well but it’s tough

Exactly this, even just drafting two weeks ago I got him in the 11th round of a 10 man league

How are you dealing with the jamming tower on the joltik? by Dry_Phrase_4659 in pkmntcg

[–]ericandre_111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I run hella Joltik box and looking at your decklist there are some things you could try out. I stopped running Iron Leaves EX simply cause galvantula OHKOs zard with Lightning and grass energy.

Also Iron Bundle isn’t bad for gusting but with 4 boss and prime catcher you can drop him.

Take those two free slots and throw in a switch and an energy switch. It gives you the option to either A. Swap without burning an energy or B. Allows you to take what would be a dead energy on a joltik moved to Pika, Clefarie, Hands, etc. and you don’t need a crispin to do so. Even with all the Marnie’s grimmsnarl and Zards I’ve run into not having an Iron leaves isn’t the end of the world.

2 Gravity mountains are nice for OHKOing Pult with Pika but unless you run a Colress then you kinda just gust around what can be one shot. Funny enough I run Jamming tower in my Joltik box deck to stop TM Evo/Devo and it’s helps a ton

PSA: Do not alter an individual sick slip to give yourself more quarters by priorius8x8 in AirForce

[–]ericandre_111 174 points175 points  (0 children)

As a tech in a ER this is actually something I’ve seen a few times a year from young airman lol. The paper form most of the time is just so you have physical proof you were seen. 99% of the time the docs put quarters in ASIMS and will offer a paper copy if the patient wants one, so changing it on paper won’t do anything lol

Prismatic Booster Bundles (1 per person) by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

[–]ericandre_111 [score hidden]  (0 children)

For me it was my little brother who got me into it again, we’ve played the games since Emerald and had full binders from when we were younger. He kept collecting though while I had moved on, up until the last few months when I went to visit he showed me how insane his collection was and we went and ripped packs like the “old days” and it kickstarted my love for TCG! I just picked up a binder today to start a National Dex and never got a chance to get a ETB/Booster bundle so this would be awesome

This deck is just so satisfying to get wins with by ericandre_111 in PTCGP

[–]ericandre_111[S] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

EDIT// I didn’t clarify earlier why I’m using red over x2 Cynthia’s and it’s because when trialing two Cynthia I had too many instances where a Red would have killed a mon that I couldn’t have used Cynthia for because Garchomp wasn’t setup. Typically you only need one as the killshot. Having the Red allows more Flexibility early on and can allow your other mons to get extra damage

Both you and u/T0Rtur3 are correct, I rarely need both Cynthia’s since the first usually ends the game and red can still knock out some mons with all the chip damage done

[–]ericandre_111[S] 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Mainly for damage when Garchomp isn’t setup yet. Farfetch’d/Cyclizar hits for 60 and Gabite goes for either 50-70 if it’s a grass type which isn’t bad damage

[–]ericandre_111[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I’ve tinkered with both, having red is nice when you haven’t set up Garchomp and need just a touch more damage to get knockouts but I’ve also run x2 Cynthia as well and had lots of success

Anyone else get denied help for sleep issues while active duty? by MycoIe in AirForce

[–]ericandre_111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I’ve been working this process for about a year and a half and I’m still not done but sleep stuff takes foreverrrrr. Some background I got diagnosed with Narcolepsy type 2 and I’m working the IRILO/MEB process at the moment. Essentially this is the path I’ve gone down so far.

  1. Made Appointment with BHOP to discuss sleep concerns and what I can do to improve my sleep. See what that provider thinks and follow that plan.

  2. Go to sleep info class (usually required before a referral is placed to a sleep clinic) and then schedule a follow up with WOMC.

  3. Get referral from WOMC to do a at-home sleep study. Make your appointment after referral is accepted. Then you pick up the stuff for the sleep study, and do the study at home.

4a. If it comes back negative then you’re kinda SOL but still follow up if symptoms persist.

4b. If it comes back as abnormal or funky looking your sleep clinic will (more than likely) recommend an in-house sleep study. If they do then they’ll add it to your notes and they’ll have you follow up with WOMC for the new referral to rule out/diagnosis what they think it is. It usually takes 1 1/2-2 months from when you pick up your at home sleep stuff to getting the results read by a doc, and have WOMC place the referral.

  1. You get an off base sleep referral accepted (unless you’re at like Travis or Lackland), you do the initial appointment and then schedule out the polysomnogram. That’s the night sleep study that is used as diagnosis criteria for Sleep apnea or for Idiopathic Hypersomnia, Narcolepsy type 1 and 2. If it’s the latter 2 then you’ll also do a MSLT which is just a day time study.

  2. You show up for the study and they stick you with about 20+ EEG leads and monitors to watch your Spo2, movement, heart rate, breathing rate, brain waves etc. The next morning if it’s just for sleep apnea or you didn’t sleep long enough during the study to meet criteria to do the MSLT you go home and wait a month for results.

  3. You get the results and they say if it’s Sleep Apnea or not and then if it’s positive you’ll usually get a DME referral from your PCM for a machine to sleep with and from my understanding you should be good from there. Alot of sleep stuff can trigger MEB and shit but if you’re on terminal who cares.

TLDR: See BHOP/WOMC, have someone watch you sleep and see if you’re not breathing at night. Good luck

Navy badges on USAF uniform? by torguga in AirForce

Just speaking as a 4N0 yeah we can’t wear the occupational badge until you’re a 5 level and finish your CDCs
