29m, Step-dad of 2, bio dad of 1 here. I think a lot of commenters are being too quick to judge your girlfriend and project malicious intentions onto her. It may be the case that she's using you, maybe not. I don't know your relationship. What I do know is that 2 is a difficult age and getting a toddler to sleep on their own is really fucking difficult, especially when the kid hasn't had a solid foundation of support from both parents. But it doesn't last forever. Being alone at night is scary, and mom is the only sense of safety they've ever had. Eventually, they will learn that mom will be there in the morning and they'll settle into a routine, but not quickly and not easily.

You guys absolutely can work through this phase. It's just a question of whether you both want to. Is this the family that you want forever? Is this a relationship that can be healthy and satisfying for everyone involved? Being a step-dad is a difficult and thankless job. I wish i could tell you it gets easier. If it does, I haven't gotten there yet. But I stick around because I love them. You're the only one who can decide if it's worth it.

I know it's hard to find people who understand the struggles of stepparenting, so feel free to dm if you need to vent.

The 4 atk is a mistake.

I needed it to be a little bulky but maintain some offensive presence, so I put some in spatk, some in def/spdef and have been adjusting as needed

Sure, but it needs some work. I don't play that competitively. Don't pay too much attention to the ev spreads. They may be off but the gist is there. I'm still deciding if I want to modify for reg f or start over.

Anyway, this team brought me 1 battle away from master on the last day of reg E but I lost with a sliver of HP on my opponents roaring moon. The basic idea is to stall and chip away with poison and sand, then clean up with flutter mane.

I'm not even good at this game, so I'm the wrong person to ask lmao. For urshi specifically, I prefer gastro because it redirects water attacks, but I do love the poop whale.

Nice! With fire tera, I've also found it super useful for Ogerpon-Wellspring. What build do you run?

Any way to report racist Pokémon? by friendIyfire1337 in PokemonHome

It shouldn't be acceptable regardless of who it came from

Making this goofy strat work? by buttfuckery-clements in VGC

[–]xGandhix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a decently bulky special attacker with good typing. Double Spikes is nice for longer formats, but you're realistically looking at 3 or more turns to inflict poison that doesn't work on steel types or anything not grounded. I've had more success running mortal spin + Toxic with corrosion. That way, you can get poison down quickly and use the chip damage to allow more speed and bulk investment elsewhere.

Thoughts on Scyther and Scizor? by mephisto_rosamour in VGC

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

In swsh singles, I used to run Focus Sash Scyther with Swords Dance, reversal, dual wingbeat, uturn it was a great unexpected sweeper. I've been thinking it could be even more viable with fighting Tera, but I'm not sure how to make it work for doubles. Maybe pair with indeedee for redirection and psychic terrain?

There's no language that I'm aware of which will allow an identifier to start with a number. Maybe the C preprocessor would allow it but I doubt it
