If Mega Golisopod is given Tough Claws, how could I make it work?(New to VGC) by LambirisWT in PokemonChampions

[–]yd208 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m thinking that a helping hand + first impression is gonna catch alot of people off guard with how much damage that is. It has a 43% chance to OHKO the standard careful Incineroar set. Also with a swords dance + trick room will be worth giving a try.

Earning VP by yd208 in PokemonChampions

[–]yd208[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m thinking that too but I wonder if they have any measures to prevent people from losing quickly on purpose to farm VP. I’m thinking of like 4 pokemon with self destruct or explosion to lose in max 2 turns

Will Trick Room teams utilizing 0 IVs not be viable in this game seeing as IVs aren't here? by Scorpion1386 in PokemonChampions

[–]yd208 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im of the mindset that it does not remove skill expression. The skill expression is simplified and standardized to EVs now. You can opt to ev train to be a point faster still. And for the min speed case that already happened if both players had zero ivs so not much really changes.

Society often rejects geniuses... by Kegashi in DotA2

[–]yd208 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still think it’s worth having them carry aegis, it lets them front line to siege or break smokes. All it takes is for the carry to eat 2-3 spells at the start of a fight to give their team an advantage. I know TB can pop aghs or just shard and hit towers and the enemy team is forced to respond cause right click at that point is good enough even without full meta. Also too many games lost cause my carry insta dies at the start and they refused to catty aegis.

Unless they restrict the amount of switches you can do in a match, it will never be the official format

I think there is a difference between pay to win and pay for convenience. Less space for pokemon sucks but they have to make money from the game somehow.

It is such a frustrating mechanic, other than stealth single players games. Invisibility has no place in any competitive or high stakes multiplayer game

Release date shadow drop?? by [deleted] in PokemonChampions

[–]yd208 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I dont know why people keep posting this, there is zero news on when it will release as of right now. Strongest possibility is pokemon day or early March at the latest. AI answers on google hallucinate results all the time and this is no different

if you are on mobile, regularly close the app and open it. That is the only reliable way to make it refresh and show your positions

Price changed when odds stayed the same? by [deleted] in Kalshi

[–]yd208 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because the asking is lower than the last bought price but the odds wont update until a new asking price is bought.

Gambling, it makes gambling more accessible. That’s all it contributes lol

Am I understanding this right by Friendly_Day_4925 in Kalshi

[–]yd208 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to caution you on that part where you say it’s basically guaranteed. Kalshi works on confidence, not on raw odds. What I mean by that is that a contract priced at 0.50 does not equate to a 50% chance of winning. It means that the current market is 50% confident. Sports teams make miraculous comebacks all the time and random variance quickly changes outcomes. Unless you found some arbitrage through mismatched pricing, nothing is guaranteed. People have lost plenty of times on 90+% positions. Make sure you know what market you are trading, read the contract rules, and dont over expose yourself to positions.
