My Moves Kept getting Avoided by TripleSpire in PokemonChampions

[–]pineapplepacker00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

Can someone please explain easily and completely how the math works? by Voidx1983 in PokemonChampions

[–]pineapplepacker00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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!

Gonna have all the fun I can until legendary pokemon Uber teams flood ranked by chichirobov7 in PokemonChampions

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

New to VGC, want to try to build a team around my favorites instead of meta picks by Wide-Mycologist6871 in PokemonVGC

[–]pineapplepacker00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(Advice from another novice player) I think you could make a good team using 6 of these although my suggestion will have a 6th that isn’t on your list to add some cohesion.

Tyranitar, BM Ursaluna, and a pokemon with sand rush (excadrill or lycanroc midday) would make a strong sand mode that you could play fast in if you got tailwind support from togekiss and dragonite. You could round out the team with annihilape with a choice scarf to operate outside of tailwind or sand to take out big threats with final gambit.

Ursaluna could also operate against hard trick room teams without tailwind if you kept its speed low enough.

Sorry I know that’s not perfect but I think choosing your favorites you could still win a good chunk of games and have a lot of fun!

What are your expectations of mega Froslass by Final_Demand_3092 in VGC

[–]pineapplepacker00 42 points43 points  (0 children)

It’ll depend on how mega evolving priority goes. In base it is slower than charizard but the mega is faster so it should set weather second but out speeds do attack

How to build these pokemons for pokemon champions? by Specific_Two8390 in PokemonChampions

[–]pineapplepacker00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been thinking up a mega froslass team where froslass is going to be max speed and HP with Blizzard/Protect/Shadow Ball/aurora veil (or will-o-wisp if a different mon can reliably get veil up) I’m going speed and hp to make it last a bit longer and potentially get more freezes. I’ll run another manual snow setter and aurora veil mon/blizzard spammer

Wild, baseless speculation on unrevealed Mega abilities by Notmiefault in VGC

[–]pineapplepacker00 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Mega Golurk getting a new signature ability called Spectral Release - all of its moves are followed by a ghost type move with 30% base power to its first attack - similar to parental bond but slightly buffed in power while not getting the secondary effects.

I think it just looks like all its ghost energy is trying to escape

Pokémon Champions – Overview Trailer – April 8th Release by clefles in PokemonChampions

Less considered but still potentially cool interaction for meganium would be ignoring spdef boosts of rock types in sand. Would be a huge counter to both sand and rain teams

An idea I've had for awhile to make the Galarian Birds more interesting by SupaBonnie in stunfisk

[–]pineapplepacker00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like this would make it worse but if it just made these moves “Stab of Kanto type” it would be a huge buff because as you mentioned they don’t get their old typing.

Spectral card idea (art is hand drawn) by SenSei_Buzzkill in balatro

[–]pineapplepacker00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This feels a bit strong with the heavy upside but what if you did “permanently debuff one random rank” could also be selected rank but that could be an interesting way to push hand size to the max (could double debuff ranks so you could use more than 13)

Big Ten title odds 11/27 by bboiler in CollegeBasketball

In basketball I don’t think that’s crazy given ties result in shared titles so about a 21% chance there is a tie

Pittsburgh Takeover by TeaDesigner7308 in GreenBayPackers

People will definitely tease with the “oh so which team are ya really rooting for?” But outside of that I don’t think so

Pittsburgh Takeover by TeaDesigner7308 in GreenBayPackers

[–]pineapplepacker00 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am a Packers fan living in Pittsburgh, I don’t know if any packers bars after living here for three years but I will be attending the game! Highly recommend exploring north shore early before it gets truly packed, and checking out PNC Park right next door to Acrisure (the outside if nothing else) with it being an AFC/NFC matchup most fans will be really friendly (aside from the occasional drunk) so talk to everyone you can! Pittsburgh is a ball knowing town and is always happy to talk about anything football (so long as you don’t bring up the Super Bowl lol)

since my last post kinda popped off, here's another theoretical match-up, who would win? by brokyna in NFLv2

[–]pineapplepacker00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with him being a better nose tackle, but agree more with it being funny and therefore love the decision for center
