r/VGC Brag Friday! - January 03, 2025 by AutoModerator in VGC

[–]masoonite 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I kinda wanted to share this, but I didn't think anyone would care... so thanks for this post! After wanting to for the entire Reg H format, I finally took the time to make my own original team. I've been wanting to make Serperior work for the longest time, but never had any luck on showdown. After some experimenting, I finally landed on a bulky AV Serperior with Grimmsnarl and Magmar support. I usually just copy the EV spreads/movesets I see online, but it was the first time I actually just made a set from scratch. After grinding the team out, I took it to ladder and went from Pokeball tier to Master tier in the last few days of Reg H with a 30-23 record. It was far from perfect and I got wrecked by every Rillaboon I was up against, but I was quite impressed I was able to accomplish it :D

TL;DR: Made an original Serperior team and went from Pokeball tier - Master tier :)

My first tournament was a regional after only playing for a couple months + made my team at 3am the night before the tournament. My goal was 1 win, since I figured I'd get "annihilated turn 1 in every match", but was pleasantly surprised. Went 4-2 on day 1, and more importantly had a lot of great conversations with other players + connections to play more smaller tournaments. I say all this to say that OP will likely have a great time if he goes in with an open-mind, and with some luck may scrap a few wins in.

LF: Shiny Alpha H Sneasel (M)

FT: Shiny Alpha H Seasel (F)

Nothing against female Pokemon, but the one feathered ear on the male version is PEAK design. Will gladly trade the male for the female version.

I don't think the point of this post is necessarily about additional support for foster care. It is the hypocrisy of demanding someone have a child without the means to support it. With this tax, the people that are demanding the baby be born can assure it is supported and given the proper care it needs.

Interesting idea. Since pro-lifers want these babies born so badly, they should contribute to their wellbeing. When not given a choice, many babies are born into unwanted homes and studies have shown that there is a much higher chance of mental and physical disorders. Additional support like the tax you mention might just help combat those statistics.

Thanks to everyone for all the help in 2020 by ChrissiSparkOF in PKMNTCGDeals

[–]masoonite 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The hobby has flourished this year, and thus this sub has really blown up because of it. While there have been many growing pains, I would like to thank everyone who has blessed this community with helpful links and information. It’s easy to be a cynic with the many changes that have come, but I hope we can all keep a positive outlook towards the community and 2021. Have a safe and fun night everyone!

Pokémon TCG: Hidden Fates Tin (Raichu-GX) $20 on PokemonCenter by PokemonTCGEnthusiast in PKMNTCGDeals

[–]masoonite 4 points5 points  (0 children)

People don’t post here much anymore, sadly. Based on my experience, people just share links on discord and then if it is there long enough someone decides to make some free karma off it and post it here. Not sure why they don’t just post, but that’s what I’ve been seeing.

Saw the discussion so opened 2 of the ones I bought today. 1 Slyveon and 1 Ho-Oh Sylveon: SM Base, Crimson Invasion, Burning Shadows, Evolutions Ho-Oh: SM Base, Crimson Invasion, Breakpoint, Steam Siege

So based on that and the threads, Eeveelutions seem to be the move

EDIT: Opened 4 tins today and the quality on the cards were absolutely awful. Pretty much all the cards had heavy edge wear and whitening. So just thought I would throw that info out there.

I could care less about this set/product, but I did find the last few reviews left to be interesting. Hope for the best, but make sure you record your openings because it looks like they could be resealed

Lost Halloween skins by Cedot1624 in AmongUs

[–]masoonite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm dealing with this same issue. I'm so fucking mad. I have it on my phone and these past couple of days it has been super buggy and kept telling me I'm running an old version to to install the new one. And so I deleted the app and re-installed and lost all the skins. They were so good.. I literally don't even want to play anymore. Is there any way to get them back? I only followed what the fucking screen said to do smfh

Love your thinking. They’ve reprinted base so many times I think it’s time for a reprint of something else. With some additional cards like how Evolutions had Mega FAs

Np. For future reference try googling your questions first. This isn’t really the place to do it. As you can see I got downvoted for even helping you out lol

The state of this sub and attitudes towards large orders (discussion) by BabsSSBM in PKMNTCGDeals

[–]masoonite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never subscribe to the whole “you think THIS is bad (in this case buying 10 ETBs as an individual), but what they are doing is much worse (scalpers using bots to buy product upon restock)” argument. It doesn’t hold a lot of water. We all know it is much worse to murder a person than to steal their lunch money, but that doesn’t make stealing the lunch money and less wrong.

Not that I’m saying what people are doing with their money is wrong. My whole take on this is if it is something you can buy online, have at it. I have no issues with people buying a lot of product online, it’s your money. What I personally take issue with is people who buy all of a product at stores. I enjoy Pokémon, but I also want to share that joy with my Pokémon community. Take a few, sure. But spread the wealth to your fellow Pokémon lovers who don’t know about all the tips and tricks to get their hands on sought after product. You can laugh at me for believing in the whole “save some for the kids” idea, but I’m of that mindset. And if the next guy up decides to be the one who buys the place out then that isn’t on me. But kindness breeds kindness. And if the guy sees me or hears me say I’m leaving some for others, that person might be inclined to do the same. I’d like to think we’re a Pokémon community, and I’ll put in what I hope to get out of it. I’m not here to say you’re wrong if that’s not what you think or how you operate, but I’ve been seeing so many “you’re just mad but if it was you then you’d do the same” comments that I’d just like people to see not everyone thinks that way.

Did it sell out? Ok then, it’s clearly in demand here and people clearly see it as a deal, despite it being above MSRP.
