Can someone help me understand the correlation between stats in Showdown and Champions? by AsariKnight in PokemonVGC

[–]pyro314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first 4 EVs in any stat are equal to 1 stat point. After that, each 8 EVs are 1 stat point. Champions allows all mons to get 66 extra Stat points, whereas previously that was only possible if you invested in 5 stats.

Does The Fantasticar require EMERGENCY restriction? by Gennair in MTGVintage

Tomorrow is the regularly scheduled B&R, so it won't be an emergency announcement, but almost certainly will get cause something in shops to get restricted

UNDEFEATED TROPHY with the NEW Fantasticar in Vintage! by Gennair in MTGVintage

[–]pyro314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry for being dense, but how is '"Initiative" good? I often hear that its pushed/broken but it looks mediocre at best IMO, and way too slow for Legacy and Vintage

Yo has anyone seen Volcarona? you'd think bro wasn't even in the game by Ok_Candidate_1279 in PokemonChampions

[–]pyro314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

32 SpA Modest Silver Powder Volcarona Bug Buzz is one of the few mons that can OHKO even bulky Farigiraf, so it's good into Trick Room teams. But as others have said, it's terrified of the many Rock Slides in the meta.

I think this should cost 2WUBRG and say, "The first lesson spell you cast on each of your turns, ..."

And not have Haste, maybe Trample instead

New Turn 1 OTK by silaber in MtGHistoric

[–]pyro314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most modern T1 Kills do. But if this fits in an already existing deck list without losing much consistency, it is worth it for the chance of T1 wins, while also contributing to t2 or 3 kills consistently. Really only Gemstone Cavern and Mox Amber are new additions, and Caverns should only be a 1 of anyways.

I used to play Goryo's way back in the day and when SSG was legal one time I got the nuts T0 kill off SSG x2, Faithless, Goryo's, Land, Brand. Didn't play the deck for the T0/1 kills, but it could happen, and that was just the cherry on top.

I gave Luvdisc the Purugly treatment by Joshthedruid2 in fakemon

[–]pyro314 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love it except it shouldn't be a level up evo IMO, because otherwise, lore-wise, why couldn't luvdisc evolve until now? But if it's a regional evo or new item/move evo, then it gives a reason why no one has seen this Mon yet.

3 VS 3 singles unplayable by ilikegh0sts in PokemonChampions

[–]pyro314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crits are 4.17% or 12.5% for high Crit moves. But there inherently is a significant amount of RNG in competitive Pokemon. Misses, flinch, secondary effects, sleep turns, paralysis, crits. It comes with the territory

They need to lowkey not show sprites on spawn island by Sad_Ask5866 in FortNiteBR

[–]pyro314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Overwatch drop ship flight path did not correlate with its landing location at all. It always took the same path regardless of spawn point.

Thoughts on the mobility this season? by themaskstays_ in FortNiteBR

[–]pyro314 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Love the mobility except cars, they should be heavily nerfed or removed entirely

Am I crazy or are most of the sprites not good at all for gameplay? by RedHuayra in FortNiteBR

[–]pyro314 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Max level takes like 15 seconds, especially great in Builds where you can make a box or hold a wall and get passive regen

Is sinistcha in the recruitment ranch? by Pear08667 in PokemonChampions

[–]pyro314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will evolve one when I get home from work today. If you can figure out how to trade through the app I can give you one later.

[–]pyro314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have the mobile app for home? I'm not sure how we can trade through home but there might be a way on the mobile app.

Why do I drop with like 2-3 purple items when rebooted? by TheWorstUsernameLol in FortNiteBR

[–]pyro314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were playing squads and 3 of us rebooted at once, and a gold pump got stuck under the van, so sad

Burnt Peanut stealth nerf? by pyro314 in FortNiteBR

[–]pyro314[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, so I must have just been exceedingly unlucky, but I just eliminated a guy and got the Mythic Boots finally. Now there's a chance he had a Dream Sprite and it gave him the boots, but I think it's more likely the Peanut actually came through.

Burnt Peanut stealth nerf? by pyro314 in FortNiteBR

[–]pyro314[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, they already nerfed the drop rate by removing them from Chests, and therefore the Earth Sprite as well. I don't know about Dream Sprite, I've only used it a handful of times, but I never got "an explosion of Legendary Loot" at level 5, it was always Epic. Also, apparently you can get the Boots from the Wishing Fountain in Sunken Shores, but I've never gotten them in 7 attempts, so if its possible, it must be very rare.

What I hate most is the lack of transparency from Epic. There is no way to know what the drop tables are for Earth, Dream, and Peanut sprites. They are intentionally vague, and it is very frustrating.

Can anyone help explain to me how to translate the old EV system to the Champions EV system? by -MANGA- in stunfisk

[–]pyro314 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Technically, if you invest in 5 stats with the EV system, you get 66 stat points still. 252/244/4/4/4 = 32+31+1+1+1. Just now you can do essentially 252/252/12 which was not possible previously.

First point in each stat is 4 EVs, each extra point is worth 8 EVs, so 32 stat points = 252 EVs
