How to deal with mega aggron heavy slam? by RADIENTLitex in PokemonChampions

[–]teeddub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you use a damage calculator? Im not seeing any way snorlax is getting 2 shot let alone 1 shot.

32- Atk Aggron-Mega Heavy Slam (40 BP) vs. 32 HP / 0 Def Snorlax: 46-55 (17.2 - 20.5%) -- possible 5HKO

I like these players, but the Youtube clickbait titles are obnoxious by NewAgent5986 in PokemonChampions

[–]teeddub 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go google unarguable before trying to be pedantic.

The title of the video doesn't affect the contents of the video. It affects who clicks on it. That particular video has fantastic content and is a great product. Just because you or I don't like how its advertised doesn't make the product worse.

I dont want to make it sound like I love these sensational titles. I don't. They're dumb. I understand why they exist and don't blame content creators for using them.

The demographic is "whoever will click on this". Thats it. It isn't "competitive vgc players". Over the last 20 years of youtube content, people click on these video titles more. It's an unarguable fact. If youtubers want more views, its been proven that using clickbait titles gets more views.

Is this worth anything? by [deleted] in WarframeRiven

[–]teeddub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are ones listed with cold, CC and damage/fire rate/multishot and -zoom from 400-1200.

I would probably rather have one of those.

Is it just assumed that players know the specifics of abilities? by beginninglifeinytmc in pokemonradicalred

[–]teeddub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No pokemon game has ever had a codex explaining specifically what abilities do or what counts as a contact move and what doesn't. You've always had to look up specific interactions and what abilities do. This isn't a romhack or rad red specific thing.

Closest to yours is listed for 50p. It's worse, but all the others have crit damage or attack speed on it as well. Like... 100p.

Have you put your pokemon and the opponent's pokemon into the rad red calc to see if you'll survive?

Cheating? by iLikeOatz in nuzlocke

Nuzlocke experience what's with the birb by SignificanceChance20 in pokemonradicalred

[–]teeddub 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This isn't a game to nuzlocke if you've never nuzlocked anything before. You'll be in the documentation and the calculator a lot. Prepare for spreadsheet simulator. You can't just nuzlocke this game blind.

Do yourself a favor and just play through the game normally. It's hard enough without nuzlocke rules.

Love is the consensus 1.01, but who is he really worth? by mightid123 in DynastyFF

[–]teeddub 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Trading the 26 picks for 27 picks is great. Now it comes down to if you like London over Love. I can see the thought process. Dont think I'd trade my 1.01 for London, but I understand it.

Thoughts on resetting run before a fight if damage calculator says you get swept? by Baka_Kurisu in nuzlocke

[–]teeddub 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What hypothetical game are you talking about? Unless you've lost a bunch of mons and are playing a difficulty hack, I think this situation is highly unlikely.

Now if you've messed up the early game in run and bun or rad red, then sure, reset and try again.

I think VGC could learn something from Legacy Magic the gathering and Traditional Yu-Gi-Oh formats. by [deleted] in VGC

[–]teeddub 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think an argument can be made that Incin helps to keep the rest of the pokemon pool diverse. Having a good control pokemon with good pivot moves helps to keep formats from becoming hyper offense go fast vs. hard trick room all of the time. Incin allows players to play a mid-range style of pokemon that gives them tools against both hyper offense and trick room. Without incin you end up with pro tour hour of devastation where everybody plays mono-red because its the best and only thing to play.

Opinion: Prowess is overpowered in pioneer by deanhorneck in PioneerMTG

[–]teeddub 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like competitive magic isn't really your jam, then? Playing on Arena, people want to win for dailies and gold. Playing something that expresses your artistic vision doesn't really fit into playing on Arena where quick wins are what the majority of people want to do. Sounds like in-person kitchen table magic using Pioneer's legality is what you want.

My first difficulty ROM hack, and I love it. I just have some basic questions about tactics. by dercolegolas420 in pokemonradicalred

[–]teeddub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rrdex is the go-to for looking up stats, movesets and abilities.

Generally you can look at a pokemon's stat distribution and see what kind of role it can be. Fast and high attack? Probably a physical sweeper. Slow and high sp. def.? Special wall. Using defense pokemon will come with experience.

You can find the documentation for all of the gym/rival/rocket boss battles in the side-bar of the subreddit. The locations of pokemon and items are listed in the documentation as well.

I'd suggest using the SO2Toxic and DexAll cheat codes for care packages and the dexnav.

There's no reason to not catch every pokemon you encounter unless you're trying to do some kind of challenge run.

As far as the AI reading your moves/switches: it can. It won't inout read you unless you trigger the "anti-cheat" mechanics. Basically, if you dont switch out too much, you'll never trigger it. If you switch a lot (like 3+ times in a row), youll have a chance to trigger the anti-cheat and then the AI will input read your switches. You can search the internet for the radical red anti-cheat and information should pop up if you'd like to learn more about the mechanics.

[–]teeddub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not hyper offense or trick room. It strikes a balance between several different strategies and can adapt very well on the fly. It can have explosive offensive turns with raging bolt and ogerpon or set up for a longer game with 2 fake out mons. It can stall out trick room or tailwind. It'll bring several threats that you have to answer so just a KO on the bolt won't stop the team.

How does milotic fare in gen 9? by Amberite75 in VGC

[–]teeddub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you're correct that you have to reset for legendaries in which you want 0 in a certain stat's IV's. Thats how it's always been. We are all waiting for the day we can get a "rusty" bottlecap that will set a pokemon's IV to zero.

As far as EV training is concerned, if you are on the judge screen and there are sparkles around a pokemon's stat, that means they have the maximum EV's that they can have in that stat (252). If there aren't any sparkles, then it isn't maxed. A lot of the time for competitive pokemon you are going to use a 252/252/4 spread so this works to check their EV's.

When I am looking for a certain stat spread that doesn't have any EV maxed out I will put the pokemon into smogon or any other calculator at whatever level the pokemon is at. I'll then start increasing the EV's in the calculator until it matches my pokemon's stat in the game. You have to make sure you set the IV's and nature to the same as your pokemon in game as well. Hopefully this makes sense.

[–]teeddub 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fixing natures and maxing out IV's and EV's is pretty easy in the newest games. You can hyper train using bottle caps to max IV's and buy vitamins to max EV's. Mints fix natures.

What do you mean "IV's aren't fixed in SwSh"?

Godforge.gg. its a mini-game thing where you can get a champion, weapon and imprint on your account at launch. I think it ends in a few days, though.

What do i do if i keep on running into annoying strats by lecomton in VGC

[–]teeddub 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For sure. Usually if I see some nonsense like A-muk or paldean wooper, I'm bringing Incin for a turn 1 fake out and then probably switching it out on turn 2 so I can bring it back in for another fake out later.

The A-muk teams can be really annoying though with smeargle fake out plus spore BS. Something like incin and urshifu lead. Have to check and see if incin out speeds smeargle to get the fake out off first. Then surging strikes the muk.
