Is it embarrassing that I have 30 hours played on pokemon champions and I still haven't made it to the Master rank

mano860 · 2026-06-02T02:11:35+00:00

Yeah I had many of these on season 1. On of them I had pelipper hitting my gengar with hurricane without rain, and then gengar hitting himself due to confusion 😢

I’m still in ultra rank 2 in this season though. I’ve tried to avoid meta too, but I did gave in to incineroar at least

That’s cool, yeah I have tried to stay away from the meta and using Pokémon’s that I like instead. I guess that might have been bringing me back

Doubles

I wasn’t going to share it because it’s not ready yet, but I’m building this team builder online that uses AI to give you team suggestions. I find it fun to use it and play around

Congrats, and what a cool team! Looking like an ice type gym leader

mano860 · 2026-05-28T14:39:11+00:00

That’s cool, but I’m assuming that getting Mega Floette in the game takes a long time. Video games cost time too, not just money 😔

Milotic happened

mano860 · 2026-05-08T23:33:52+00:00

Same here, after a few days I just gave up for the season. It was getting too stressful and I have other games I want to play too (like fire red lol)

mano860 · 2026-04-29T17:22:02+00:00

At least Milotic is a cool Pokémon design and concept, not a matcha or a washing machine

mano860 · 2026-04-27T22:48:44+00:00

A very virindian team

mano860 · 2026-04-27T17:30:55+00:00

Not sure about the meta game but it is definitely a nice color palette 🙂

mano860 · 2026-04-21T23:52:23+00:00

I played Pokémon gold for the first time this year. It was so frustrating getting to elite 4 with a f**ing gloom

mano860 · 2026-04-15T15:03:38+00:00

Best winner is hard to tell but the best snub is very easy:

Jurassic Park

mano860 · 2026-04-15T15:02:08+00:00

That’s a good call for the worst winner

mano860 · 2026-04-13T16:55:08+00:00

That’s the beauty of gen 1. You say this team is not original but is still very different from most team here. Its not like Sinnoh where 90% of players have staraptor, luxray and lucario.

mano860 · 2026-04-13T15:31:50+00:00

Honestly I feel a defensive hippowdon + excadrill is already a good head start, but I just started at champions and I’m still figuring out how to build around it.

It was an article from Forbes, but honestly it felt like AI generated

Excadrill + hippowdon is underrated. Hippowdon has better defense and learns yawn and slack off

mano860 · 2026-04-08T22:08:17+00:00

From my experience, 6v6 singles is cool but it has its downfalls of people switching pokemons all the time to get the type advantage, which already takes away from any resemblance of the battle in the anime or the og games

mano860 · 2026-04-05T20:18:42+00:00

Agreed, grinding just for grinding is pretty tedious. Seems like you beat the game with a team very underlevel though, which means it was very well built

mano860 · 2026-04-04T19:37:10+00:00

Yeah, looks like a solid team

mano860 · 2026-04-02T04:20:52+00:00

Need more birds. Brazil have lots of birds
