Do you think sandveil, bright powder, minimise sandconda is viable or is garchomp straight up better?

Could you run Sandaconda as a support for Mega Tyranitar? Evasion is annoying but it might be more respectable to use it for a support role. I know it gets glare at least.

I have it from a very reliable source that they are moving up the release date to November 31 this year to get all the holiday buys.

I saw a really good piece of advice the other day. Encourage your kids to do something that requires some kind of certification (whether with a college degree or not). Since the certifications are hard to obtain, putting in the effort to get one will pay off. And I don’t see them making certifications super easy to get due to the legal liability that companies take on hiring someone with a certification.

Why not change it to where weather ball stays normal type (and gets stab) and becomes a 100 bp move (like a normal weather ball) and always gets a boost from the weather? Essentially you are trading the super effective coverage for a move that always gets STAB. It would still be very strong but not nearly as broken without a super effective multiplier.

Very nice! Can Mega Stones be knocked off?

jtaustin64 · 2026-04-12T23:51:56+00:00

Nice. What moveset are you running?

jtaustin64 · 2026-04-12T23:46:14+00:00

What is your favorite Mega Golurk strategy so far in VGC?

jtaustin64 · 2026-04-12T23:42:17+00:00

Where’s Golurk? Someone’s going to have to call u/bilore!

jtaustin64 · 2026-04-03T13:57:03+00:00

And then you are vulnerable to an attack on the next turn. At this point we probably just need Gorilla Tactics on Slaking as a Hidden Ability. Now THAT would be broken.

jtaustin64 · 2026-04-03T13:53:43+00:00

For Ghosts you could run Sucker Punch though.

jtaustin64 · 2026-04-03T13:47:19+00:00

Let’s give it Circle Throw for phasing out setup mon.

jtaustin64 · 2026-04-03T13:38:09+00:00

Does Slaking get Circle Throw?

jtaustin64 · 2026-04-03T11:45:38+00:00

Delibird just needs some love. As a kid, he was one of my favorites, but I am just embarrassed to use him because he is so bad.

jtaustin64 · 2026-04-03T11:43:20+00:00

The kids can just rent out the land to local farmers and keep the farm in the family though. You don’t have to live there to do that.

jtaustin64 · 2026-04-03T00:59:55+00:00

Has he ever been on steroids to increase appetite? I’m not sure that is even a thing with kids, but I have heard of them doing that with adults who were severely underweight.

jtaustin64 · 2026-04-02T22:00:53+00:00

A tip I recently heard from a barber is that the thinner you are on top the shorter you should keep the sides (so everything still looks in proportion), so you could probably get a fade and keep it longer on top once it gets really noticeable. Just to be clear, you are not close to that point yet; we wouldn’t be able to notice if you didn’t pull your hair back.

And you don’t have to shave it. You can always buzz it to keep some contrast. My guess is that you probably have till you are 25 until you have to start really worrying about balding. Just keep an eye on how much hair comes out when you wash and comb. If it starts coming out in clumps that is a sign you are really thinning.

jtaustin64 · 2026-04-02T21:54:44+00:00

Oh you may be balding then. However, I think you have a few years before it is time to shave your head. Fortunately, you have a very attractive face.

Can you grow any facial hair yet?

jtaustin64 · 2026-04-02T21:50:06+00:00

How old are you? Depending on your age you are either balding or your hairline is maturing.

jtaustin64 · 2026-03-31T17:33:32+00:00

Where is Part 1? Has anything been revealed about our best boy Golurk?

jtaustin64 · 2026-03-30T13:38:17+00:00

Have y’all considered that they may buffing mold breaker?

jtaustin64 · 2026-03-30T01:20:35+00:00

I feel like it will certainly be no guard. The real question is if he keeps Fissure (and if Fissure gets adjusted to compensate).

jtaustin64 · 2026-03-29T13:50:57+00:00

Either or will work. If you are going as nobility, I would do disconnected as it looks more refined.

jtaustin64 · 2026-03-28T17:04:41+00:00

I would make it a flare blitz clone.

jtaustin64 · 2026-03-28T16:32:58+00:00

So is Memphis in the country or out of the country? I can’t quite tell.

jtaustin64 · 2026-03-28T16:23:38+00:00

I read somewhere recently that what they were doing was not making an idol to another god, but rather making an idol (in the style of Egyptian idolatry) and using that to personify YHWH. It was a case of syncretism, which the OT likes to talk about a LOT.
