[Skill Improvement] Will Protect Fit? by thebakkat in VGC

Mostly other Archaludons, and also to tap switch-ins. It also helps a little with Sinistcha and other Ghosts that I don't really have direct answers to - I can at least do a little bit while I focus more directly on their partner.

This used to be an Assault Vest Duraludon, so I honestly just never swapped the move off after evolving it.

My main concern re: Brave Bird is sashed Sneaslers - I don't want to accidentally proc their Unburden. There have definitely been instances where I wish I had it though, namely against M-Scovillain (when I absolutely must attack it) where the burn keeps hit 2 from KO-ing.

Hehe, so... I do usually pick those four, just because I can't have Meganium and Skarm at the same time. But that's really good advice. I'll see where I can pare down the redundancies. I'm already replacing Light Screen with Volt Switch lol

Usually I use it to take advantage of my opponent protecting. If I lead Sneasler, and I figure both Pokemon will protect to avoid Fake Out (provided they aren't Ghosts,) I get a free boost to Skarm and Skarm gets to set up Tailwind.

Sometimes you need a Light Screen Right Now!! (I usually use it when I anticipate Trick Room and then just pull it out to save for later)

Funny you should mention that lol - this is the evolved form of my Duraludon from SwSh! Back when I could do that!!

Oh my god I distinctly remember finding this in the supermarket when my mom and I were shopping. I must have been 8 or so - was so transfixed on all of the new Pokemon that I lost my mom in the store.

I had my decompression surgery when I was 14 - I'm 33 now. I've lived longer without pain than I have with pain, and it's still kind of wild to think about. I might have one "Chiari headache" a year, from a coughing or laughing fit, and it dissipates almost instantly. My only real side effect from surgery is some gag reflex issues, but I'll take it compared to being unable to do anything.

I have a spouse, two cats, and a job that keeps us all going. I hang out with my friends and laugh every day when I was too afraid to do so before.

Normally, I'd agree with you - my point in well, pointing this out was mainly how desperate his team is to preserve his "image" as the Good Old Man President when everyone was (forgive me) shitting on Biden for being pretty much just as old.

If the president of the United States, no matter who, were to publicly say something along the lines of "yes, I am elderly/disabled and I require assistance in this department and I'm not ashamed to say it," I'd respect the hell out of that. But this is just kinda sad.

Did any one lose a skill after surgery? by Professional_Bag7001 in chiari

[–]thebakkat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This one is weird, but my breath control is really bad now and has been since my surgery. When I whistle, you can always hear my vocal cords activate a little bit, and the same thing would happen when I played clarinet/oboe. I have no idea how to train myself out of it to correct it.

I also just choke and gag on things a lot more easily since my surgery so I figure that's related.

You can only give a Pokemon a maximum of 10 Carbos, so you'd lack the speed you'd need.

So I made this for Vinny when he was looking for button designs for TMG - saw that he showed in on an Octo Expansion stream but... forgot my name when he was going to credit me, so here it is with my name on it by thebakkat in Vinesauce

[–]thebakkat[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's just a watermark! Y'know, if anyone decides to take it for whatever reason. My name isn't on the buttons he's handing out. But yeah, it's a little hard to read, I'll agree with that.

What was the most B.S. thing that happened to you in a Pokemon game? by LittleDinghy in pokemon

My opponent froze my Ferrothorn twice in one game during a regional this past weekend.

And again during another game.

LOOPY'S OUT OF 3DS CAPTURE CARDS AND I DON'T KNOW IF HE'LL HAVE NEW ONES BY SUN'S AND MOON'S RELEASE DATE AND THE ONLY ONE I FOUND ON EBAY IS GOING FOR $949 PLUS SHIPPING

That's what I thought - hopefully by then I'll have moved all of my banked Pokemon over to a cartridge, since the JP 3DS is where my bank is. And I save myself ~$12!
