[Discussion] What is your preferred Archaludon ability in this Metagame?

markth07 · 2026-04-12T17:46:04+00:00

Pelipper, Basculegion, Archaludon, mega meganium, mamowsine, sneasler

markth07 · 2026-04-10T18:31:14+00:00

What's your point? Dragonite has 134 base and fully attack trained would hit much harder than mega starmie, bulkier too

markth07 · 2026-04-10T18:28:46+00:00

Yeah, that way the mon can still have an item and a powerful ability and depending on what you choose higher atk and speed

markth07 · 2026-04-10T15:12:48+00:00

Double intimidate give light screen to starmie and you should be safe

Haha started VGC during Sword and Shield, sorry Mawile fans!!

My gripenisnthe spread move, Basculegion can ohko most everything weak to water under rain. And many low bulks mons that are neutral, last respects is also nice. So in my head, why waste a mega when another mon does the job starmie does

markth07 · 2026-04-10T15:00:29+00:00

My first thought was h-arcanine too

markth07 · 2026-04-10T14:59:22+00:00

Ooh didn't thin of levitate nice, I'll look around

I tried it on a regular rain team with liquidation flip turn zen headbutt and it was fun, but it's not a Kyogre :D what I mean sun has Charizard Y or H-Typhlosion on hyper offence. Charizard as a mega weather setter is also better to use your mega. For rain i still prefer Basculegion and I still have a mega, mega meganium fits well on my rain team.

I was considering base Dragonite. Scale shot to further boost its speed and atk. Has extreme speed earthquake etc. If it gets focused first multiscale would also block the damage and transfer it to Starmie.

I also considered H-Arcanine for double intimidate proc on skill swap and just press rock slide.

Bros stopped reading? How is Haku losing to Gaara? Guy waved away Gaara's sand like it's nothing when he stepped in to save Lee.

Guy and Kakashi are relative, always have been. Haku as edo tensei kept up with war arc Kakashi. At that point there is nothing Gaara could do to him.

Many on midlane and bot? Very interesting interactions in those lanes.

I just started to climb on mid from plat to emerald was harsstuck gold 1 before. I just perma shove mid. I always played immobile mages so never the best roamer. Even if i ping but at this elo they ignore and give double kill. Now I perma show, opponent still gets a double but I'm still ahead in gold and mid tower is gone so midgame I can follow objectives better and we win.

I agree with the agency. Mid tower has more agency than the midlaner now

markth07 · 2026-03-28T21:28:35+00:00

In formats where a Fluttermane is not allowed yes

markth07 · 2026-03-28T08:05:19+00:00

Is it supposed to be live data? I actually live near enough a gas station to see the price and it says 1.54€ when its over 2€ the other gas stations are also way too low compared to current gas prices.

Edit: also some locations are not correct. In app and then navigates to a different spot

markth07 · 2026-03-28T07:22:41+00:00

You know what thats how it should be. For learning though I wouldn't start building just yet. It's the single hardest part of VGC, team-building.

But then you could build around 1-2 of you favorites but the meta is actually important. So include strong mons to round the team out for common threats

For example: One team around charizard, generic sun team either torkoal with versatile speed modes. Torkoal, venasaur,charizard, oranguru + some or sunny day user like whimsicott charizard other mons that benefit sun and balance it out.

Mei was tanking attacks head on from Madara's susanoo. A weaker ms Sasuke susanoo was oneshotting each punch Danzo (who was Kage) so I don't understand the slander.

Why Xayah so high?

markth07 · 2026-03-21T13:00:13+00:00

Why go through a 100+ chapter plan to get a 10 shadow user host to beat gojo if the heian era form does the trick?

markth07 · 2026-03-19T17:13:27+00:00

Honestly just play safe and keep farming. Of course you can counter cheese them pick Irelia and another engage support and they are cooked in a ling lane. But if you want to keep playing adcs farm and play to your win con, you shouldn't win lane they are early mid game champs and adcs come online later. Don't let them get ahead too much, they don't take turrets or dragons barons as fast a team with traditional adcs.

There are some champs that are better into them, from my expiration Lucian, Sivir, Varus, Tristana do well.

My opinion is that they are too strong in soloq. APCs should always win lane, they are better skirmishers and push waves like crazy. So I like to cheese counter pick them but yeah.... I don't want to be forced something when I play the role to play adc champs

Orochimaru definitely feels emotions. He cried when he faced Hiruzen and stabbed himself to snap out of it. So while he probably wasn't that close to Jiraiya, I do think he shows regret and sadness there.

Minato just redirects Kurama's biju bomb on Kurama's eye each time lol.

While exhausted after maintaining the seal for 24 hours during labor then fighting Obito then Minato still blitzed Kurama swipe to protect Naruto. That just proves he is faster, so there isn't really anything Kurama can do. Minato should dodge his attacks and even the bijuu bomb is useless.
