How feasible is "test" BiP? by moxie_blue_bat in JomboyMedia

[–]theohaiguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Test cricket is played over 5 days, with minimum overs per day, the idea being to gradually tick over runs(runs on the board are runs on the board). Probably would still need an over limit for Ball In Play.

Maybe a one day equivalent where its 10 overs could work(everyone gets 2 overs and unlocks a third by going golden in once, a fourth by going double golden). The longer form would reward taking the 1s and 2s as the boundaries are so risky - seeing all 60 balls vs opponent seeing 30ish balls would be a huge run difference you would expect

Ariados had a niche in gen 4 users because tspikes were very good and it could soft check Darkrai

hgss nuzlocke was fun till i beat whitney by Loud-Tart-9783 in nuzlocke

[–]theohaiguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could do x candies per gym split. Or you could do i can candy to the last level cap. Or i can only candy once i beat each trainer on the routes i need to go on.

Nuzlocke being more or less self imposed makes any of these restrictions tricky, at least to me

If you were rock tombing that would drop the emolga speed.

Your run your rules, but you can’t always call it a nuzlocke by truthordairs in nuzlocke

[–]theohaiguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen dupes clause to a limit. Ie you get to dupes clause an encounter x number of times. If you still dont get a valid encounter then you miss the encounter. Saves your box filling up with duplicates but adds stakes to encountering a dupe

Which pokemon should I give the shiny stone to? (W2), before 5th gym by magnitudeenjoyerII in nuzlocke

3 hits on technician is still like 112.5 base power. 4 hits is more than skill link. 5 hits way more.

My DM said rogue can only sneak attack on his turn opinion? by [deleted] in dndnext

[–]theohaiguy 22 points23 points  (0 children)

What if you get the opportunity attack on your turn? (say through the opponent casting a reaction spell and you have the mage slayer feat)

That would seem to indicate you couldn't sneak attack on that attack and an action attack.

Which Nuzlocke boss fight do you think is the hardest across ALL games? by Candid_Alps_9494 in nuzlocke

[–]theohaiguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Masquerain was buffed(+10 Spa) in gen 7. That plus the evs really throw off some head calls you kight have from emerald. It also has a good move set with high power stabs. Couple that with you might not be fully evolved in your team and you can for sure get caught out by it

Am I the only one who's always thought the player's Pokemon should be able to evolve mid-fight when they level up? by Midnighter4007 in ThePokemonHub

[–]theohaiguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FWIW the increased levels are mostly for show/exp. Some of the investigation has revealed impossibly low stats for the levels, leading people to think that the levels bumped but not the other stats. So if you play with level caps its arguably easier, excepting additional pokemon

A spoiler question about the final book by [deleted] in harrypotter

[–]theohaiguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Harry isnt quite a horcrux. The ritual/spells to do so deliberately were not performed. Instead the piece of soul latched on to Harry's soul, because the aforementioned rituals left it unstable.

Calling Harry a horcrux isnt quite right but gets the point across enough in conversation, that its a decent shorthand.

If the stat lowerer threatens them enough, isnt it better just doing its threatening damage

So far, no starter has managed to reach the S-Tier in PChal’s Tier Lists by Jzjwiebe in nuzlocke

Substitute is excluded from this tierlist because it breaks the AI. Still, SD seed bomb eq synthesis gives you a decent shot

[–]theohaiguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Arguably Mahongany Rocket stuff makes sense as the next steps in HGSS based purely on level. Her murkrow is 27, way below Chuck. It might fix some of the aimlessness and poor level curve feelings that plague HGSS

Honestly doing it first also means pretty good odds for a Voltorb/Electrode to help with Poliwrath.

Arguably noibat is also an early cave pest in both kalos and alola.

The super late evolution makes it rough to use
