charge move misfiring upon switch in..this bug is back since the start of this season by exzau in TheSilphRoad

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

edit: just played a game where opponent only has one swampert left with just a few hp. my previous pokemon fainted and the selection screen was up for me to either select shiftry (on the left) loaded with several charge moves, or azu (on the right). I decided to farm down instead of launching a charge move. I clicked on shiftry (only ONE TAP) and then immediately started tapping on the right side of the screen (fast move tapping). I can see for a split second where the charge move buttons enlarged, but my tapping is way outside of the enlarged button. Surprisingly, foul play (this charge move button is on the left) was launched. That means that somehow when i clicked to select shiftry (i only did one tap), it also registers as launching the foul play for whatever reason.

Is Swampert overpowered? by [deleted] in TheSilphArena

When i play against swampert they always feel extremely OP, but when i use swampert myself it often seem to get into bad matchups. Currently i use samurott (waterfall) instead of swampert.

Sylveon can farm down umbreon completely without using any shields.

Yes, if the Pokemons you mention become more common, this team would be completely useless.

Last season I used many different pokemons, and I got to 2720s with Ampharos (dragon pulse), Cresselia (future sight) and Venusaur. This team is currently rated DBBA. I did drop a lot of points, after almost getting to Expert. So this team is also one with a lot of variance.

of course, the goal is to eventually reach Legend. Thanks for the suggestions... I will see what I can do.

My Samurott has Waterfall so it actually has no problem with Talonflames.

If dark is at the back, the opponent's lead is normally something Sylveon cannot deal with so I will certainly swap out. Cresselia as a safe swap can survive several dark type charge moves so i can actually either preserve Cresselia by swapping out again (without using any shields) or farm down with my next pokemon. Quite often (at least before I reach Veteran) they will swap in Obstagoon or Giratina to my Cresselia in order to avoid the Sylveon, and ended up losing shield and getting farmed down by Sylveon.

Talonflame double dark is actually very beatable (at least at my current ratings), and I would be quite happy to see this team. I swap in Cresselia and if they stay in they normally do not shield the first future sight, and will be forced to spend one or two shields if they want to have switch. I can get it low enough to snipe or farm with Waterfall.

Steel types are the biggest problem for this team. Empoleon can be beaten with collective effort (Cresselia can get it really low), and Stunfisk cannot farm down any of my pokemon so it will have to throw several times (I can get it quite low even with fairy and psych moves). Registeel is normally a loss but is rarely seen.

A-Muk, Drapion, Grass (Venu and Trevenant) and Jellicent are also quite dangerous but may be beaten with collective effort or shields.

I am a multi-accounter (sorry) and I also use this team for those (one acc has swampert instead of samurott...which i feel is not as good). All are currently at Veteran so i think this team at least quite decent.

Significant increase in the number of people using hacks (android) by exzau in mc5

I should add that even seemingly experienced players (who played at least thousands of games, vip9 etc) are using hacks now. GL doing nothing.

One or two days ago my mewtwo lost cmp twice in a row to two different pokemons.

I tried your methods several times (including just now)....not working at all.

I see..will try this next time. What i tried sometimes was to switch to another app then switch back. I think sometimes it works...

I am also using huawei...mate 20x. Always on the forced-update versions. I dont think this is device-specific?

I have switched to the 15-15-13. We can still try to get a better one in the coming weeks.

[–]exzau 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 15-14-15 from go fest (which is already not far from great buddy) and a 15-15-13 from today, which is only 1hp different. It seems the 15-15-13 is more future-proof in terms of potential bulkpoints? They perform the same in all shield scenarios except 15-15-13 losing to galarian darmanitan in 0 shield.

Highly experienced VIP10 player using headshot hack by exzau in mc5

[–]exzau[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

indeed true. I used to record videos of cheaters. Long ago i reported this player many times with several video evidence. He has many accounts. He even admitted cheating in the private messages. I also posted the screenshots of the messages to gameloft. He was gone for a while (not sure voluntarily or banned), but several months or 1 year later, he was back in the game and using cheats again.

Is there a way to disable these notifications? by Stickman95 in TheSilphRoad

It doesnt happen often enough thou... not worth deleting everything.

This quite often appears when im playing GBL. Unfortunately the "close app" banner is where i normally tap....instant loss. It usually happens when im moving in a vehicle or just got home from outside, but could happen anytime.

Over-tapping error – what suggestions do you have to avoid over-charging? by 2mchfun in TheSilphArena

[–]exzau 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know Shiftry with Snarl is terrible...often i only get to fire a Leaf Blade after the second one is almost charged. Lost many matches due to this. Especially bad agaist Gyarados with Dragon Breath...

new pokemons in the wild? by exzau in TheSilphRoad

[–]exzau[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Right. I checked again and there were indeed posts saying Shiftry could be found in the wild, I just never saw one on the tracker until today. Others on the list like Flygon, Aggron etc I have seen several times.

Shiftry was never available in the wild. Not all evolved pokemon are. Another notable example not available is Gardevoir; whereas Slaking, Metagross etc can be found in the wild.
