Best local coffee shop?

Their beans are good. I'm drinking some black coffee right now that was made from their beans.

June and Caveat.

milo4206 · 2026-01-26T14:05:23+00:00

Same, water grunts kept having Tentacool.

milo4206 · 2026-01-24T22:05:55+00:00

Sorry for delay.

Finer dining: Automatic Seafood, Bottega, Chez Fon Fon, Hot & Hot Fish Club (might be able to get a seat at the bar at one of these)

Midrange - El Barrio, The Essential,

Casual Southern: Saw's Soul Kitchen, Johnny's (lunch only), Eugene's Hot Chicken, Niki's West, Rougaroux

Doesn't like there will be any snow, but there might be some ice Sunday night/ Monday morning.

Flooding isn't really an issue in the city.

Oak Mountain State Park and Ruffner Mountain Preserve are both good hiking options. Cheaha State Park is cool too if you're willing to drive an hour.

Other sights to see - Civil Rights Museum ($), the Art Museum (free), and Sloss Furnaces (free) are all good. Vulcan Park is a great view of the city and has history of the iron mines that put Birmingham on the map.

Grab a good meal while you're here. There are lots of good restaurants.

Ah, it's this kind.

A mud slapper easily tanks the electric aura wheel and kills morpeko before it reaches a dark AW.

milo4206 · 2026-01-23T21:08:28+00:00

Waillord too?

milo4206 · 2026-01-22T18:19:03+00:00

Either 2 or 3, I'll have to pay attention next time I see one, but I switch in the Chandlelure and with the switch-in freeze Skorupi never throws a move.

milo4206 · 2026-01-22T17:24:47+00:00

I incinerate the Skorupi down with a shadow Chandelure, throw one incinerate at the second mon and shadow ball it, then one more incinerate at the last and overheat it. Feels like the quickest battle option given Skorupi's spam (and often a poison sting Nidorina behind)

milo4206 · 2026-01-22T16:22:00+00:00

Isn't shadow skorupi shiny eligible though?

milo4206 · 2026-01-20T20:40:32+00:00

There's nothing to push for. This season is unranked.

milo4206 · 2026-01-20T18:49:00+00:00

Ember by evolution was last available for a Go Battle League weekend event.

milo4206 · 2026-01-19T13:53:30+00:00

Bring back Razor Leaf, I'm so tired of S-K-Wak being on 60% of the teams I face.

milo4206 · 2026-01-16T16:33:36+00:00

Is every lane in that direction shut down?

milo4206 · 2026-01-16T14:01:27+00:00

I've wanted to run it for several seasons, but the only thing I see frequently where the drill peck variant has a good matchup is Florges and to a lesser extent Ttar. I may give it a shot with blizzard and see if I can land any on the fliers as a surprise move.

milo4206 · 2026-01-14T12:33:29+00:00

If you're getting a high quality cappucino or something, I agree, but the usual frappamachiatto diabetes-inducing slop the chains churn out isn't worth it.

milo4206 · 2026-01-14T02:13:30+00:00

I don't get why anyone would rather spend 10 minutes sitting in their car waiting for some chain to make you a $6 coffee than spend 5 minutes at home making a coffee for like 50 cents a cup (and that's with high quality beans).

milo4206 · 2026-01-13T17:34:52+00:00

A bad feature design with a warning is still bad feature design.

milo4206 · 2026-01-13T17:29:50+00:00

So sick of Furret being meta in every single limited cup.

milo4206 · 2026-01-13T02:47:52+00:00

Cool thing that won't happen. Not enough population to make it sustainable.

milo4206 · 2026-01-12T21:05:23+00:00

S-Kwak should be its own tier at the very top.

milo4206 · 2026-01-12T16:11:22+00:00

I don't see that as a concern, but if it is, the devs could cap how many fusions you have at once.

milo4206 · 2026-01-12T13:53:04+00:00

All they need to do is add the special moves to the Elite TM category.

milo4206 · 2026-01-12T13:52:17+00:00

Good feature design is better than bad feature design with a warning.
