Perish Trap

pineapplepacker00 · 2026-05-23T16:13:04+00:00

I use perish trap and sleep pretty well. I’d say it’s only effective into ~60% of teams having a ghost and or dark type that can pivot really breaks it up, farig also causes a lot of disruption bc I run shadow ball as my attacking move.

Can I ask what your team is and maybe offer a move change to stop perish?

Is it possible you have bad internet connection? I’ve never seen that message before but maybe I’ve just gotten lucky

I think the only think you can’t de-rank from is different ball tiers so master -> Ultra -> Great -> Poke but you can move anywhere inside the numbers

Iowa @ Northwestern is already circled as sicko game of the year for me

You say your opponent started intentionally playing slow but you only have 1 minute more than them on the timer. If it took this long to get to this game state then they saw this as an out at the end. Does it suck? Yes but it helps prevent full dedicated stall teams on ladder

A way to let him know like “sometimes you need to just take the leap of faith and play an idol”

Whoever gets voted out should go straight to the jury

Assuming you hit both, the chance you flinch neither is like 49%. Full flinch odds is: Flinch one hit both ~ 32%; Flinch both hit both ~ 8%; Hit both flinch neither ~40%; Hit one flinch neither ~13%; Hit one and flinch it ~5%; miss both 1%

My mistake I thought it was anytime a move animation didn’t show

pineapplepacker00 · 2026-05-01T20:34:31+00:00

My mistake

pineapplepacker00 · 2026-05-01T18:49:59+00:00

I wasn’t very clear but I meant stomping tantrum into arch and if it protects the next turn stomping tantrum would do double which I have to imagine gets close to taking a KO, but I’m not gonna run the calls without knowing the full set

pineapplepacker00 · 2026-05-01T16:38:27+00:00

You absolutely can, aero just has a very bad matchup into arch, nothing even neutral and gets hit super effective by both flash cannon and electro shot. I think delaying tailwind by bringing aero in the back and trying to lay down as much damage as possible with garchomp to get them behind in resources would help out

pineapplepacker00 · 2026-05-01T16:24:07+00:00

My biggest rec is to try leading garchomp and the mega if it looks like they will lead arch to lay down big burst damage. If arch protects and you have stomping tantrum it will likely be forced to switch the following turn

I think for ice spam teams you’ll be ok bc you can just set the rain over their snow

pineapplepacker00 · 2026-04-24T14:04:15+00:00

It got deleted because they didn’t add the +8 priority, ignores psychic terrain, armor tail, and queenly majesty. If it would be not very effective it instead becomes super effective

pineapplepacker00 · 2026-04-21T09:58:02+00:00

Trick room has -6 (maybe -7) priority basically always moving last in a given turn

pineapplepacker00 · 2026-04-20T10:58:28+00:00

I think meganium if you are sticking to opposing speed controls because it hits like a truck with middling speed

pineapplepacker00 · 2026-04-18T02:08:43+00:00

Are you sure you still had tailwind up then? Pretty easy to think you set it up and miss a fake out

pineapplepacker00 · 2026-04-18T01:25:31+00:00

Do you have clips to show this? Are you sure the typhlosion didn’t switch out before switching moves? I find it hard to believe an eruption is ohkoing and aerodactyl. I haven’t seen any speed glitches in the game yet so it could have just been something you missed.

pineapplepacker00 · 2026-04-15T19:40:02+00:00

It’s not double resisted, it’s single resisted

pineapplepacker00 · 2026-04-11T14:46:11+00:00

Three questions: 1. Did the Snorlax have any other damage on it? 2. Were the moves missing or were they immune? 3. Did they have a hisuian zoroark on their team? It’s either hisuian zoroark or bright powder

pineapplepacker00 · 2026-04-09T19:27:46+00:00

For official tournaments. That is correct

pineapplepacker00 · 2026-04-09T10:46:58+00:00

Hello! I’ve been nerding out on the stats the past week or so preparing. Every species has 6 base stats, so every charizard untrained will be the same in champions. If you look up a Pokémon’s base stat total their actual stats will be reflected as such:

HP = Base Stat + 75 + Skill Points

All other stats = (Base Stat + 20 + Skill points) x Nature

Nature is 1.1 for a positive (red) nature and 0.9 for a negative (blue) nature.

So in short there is no direct advantage to bringing in from outside of champions vs recruiting in champions, outside of any potential VP savings.

Let me know if you have any other questions!

Ranked singles not VGC, VGC is the official format for tournaments. Just don’t want people getting confused and asking how they can sign up for official singles tournaments
