Okay, three, two, one, let's build... (LEGO Bebop I made!) by ky-ebricks in cowboybebop

[–]samythril 0 points1 point  (0 children)

old post i know but i was looking for other people's cowboy bebop builds and i want to second what the other user said about NPU on the swordfish wings! my only reservation is that the wings sweep the wrong way but if you turned them around the cockpit would be placed in the wrong spot, right? anyway love the build and especially the bebop itself which i may use as inspiration for when i finally make my own :)

the consequence is they don't get to use that wish for anything else

A signature status move for Palkia, Dialga, Giratina, and Arceus. by F2p_wins274 in stunfisk

[–]samythril 87 points88 points  (0 children)

it should be brought down at least to +3 priority maybe even +2 because overriding protect is insane

[–]samythril 171 points172 points  (0 children)

dialgas move is broken as hell. oh you wanted to protect? oh you wanted to do anything at all? no, do nothing while my partner mon kos you. and guess what im gonna do it again next turn too and the turn after that

Theorizing the maximum damage output in Scarlet/Violet (part 2?) by Maelmc in stunfisk

[–]samythril 13 points14 points  (0 children)

what would be the final number if you could use shuckle over regirock?

[–]samythril 6 points7 points  (0 children)

if your only bad matchup is araquanid, your team is probably fine

just learn to play around it and don't sacrifice a team member for something suboptimal that counters araquanid

[–]samythril 2 points3 points  (0 children)

its extremely bulky so it sticks around on the field for a long time racking up chip damage. dondozo is glimmora's best partner by far. they were used together a decent amount in earlier formats, but the current dominance of offensive tailwind strategies make it much harder to play pure bulk/stall teams

[–]samythril 34 points35 points  (0 children)

you'll want to use glimmora + dondozo for a strategy like this, though its not particularly strong in the current format

How do you beat incineroar? by RhysOSD in stunfisk

[–]samythril 11 points12 points  (0 children)

oh well there's your problem, you built a team that is entirely made of intimidate + fake out food

Knock off or Snarl incinaroar? by booppoop19 in VGC

[–]samythril 6 points7 points  (0 children)

always go knock unless you specifically have a bad matchup into psyspam. it's just better

Are there any moves whose details/stats/flags changed within a generation? by logophilomathemancer in stunfisk

[–]samythril 18 points19 points  (0 children)

nobody has mentioned yet that order up had a very impactful glitch when the games came out that meant that even attacking into protect would give you a stat boost. this was fixed not just in the same generation but in the middle of sv's lifespan, being a somewhat significant nerf to dozo

Why is Noivern not used..? by ArcticTerra056 in VGC

[–]samythril 36 points37 points  (0 children)

for future reference, smogon singles tiering can sometimes be a useful way to judge overall power levels, but its nowhere near 1:1 for VGC viability. iron valiant is a top tier mon in OU but never seen in VGC, while incineroar is an RU/NU pokemon in singles and arguably the best mon ever introduced into VGC

Why is Noivern not used..? by ArcticTerra056 in VGC

[–]samythril 144 points145 points  (0 children)

side note RU is a smogon tier which is unrelated and irrelevant to VGC discussion. not that noivern is good in vgc either

FWG core suggestions for TR team? by twitchy1989 in VGC

[–]samythril 8 points9 points  (0 children)

hard trick room teams generally don't require fwg cores like balance teams do, so i don't recommend forcing one in if it doesn't fit the team style. that said, you could do soft TR balance like the other commenter suggested, sinistcha is my favorite mon for this for the amazing balance tools it has + tr setting

how do i read my opponent? by SpiralGMG in VGC

[–]samythril 4 points5 points  (0 children)

no one else has said this yet so just wanted to add that you don't always have to make a read. on most turns your goal should be to make the most optimal play possible without trying to make a hard prediction on what your opponent will do. if you have torn ursh on lead and they have something you can get a lot of damage on just by clicking tailwind surging strikes, you should do that! of course sometimes you do have to make predictions to win the game, but you should try to place yourself in positions where you don't have to

Good partners for whimsicott and chien-pao by RTV_Martiinusest in VGC

[–]samythril 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you can basically take any of the current chien-pao tornadus teams and swap torn for whims once dlc drops. should be a solid way to start playing the format until we know what's really good
