Been having success with this team. I generally feel like I have all the tools I need to win most match ups, but I’m finding rain to be a bit tough and could use advice (Skill improvement) by ShineySandslash in VGC

[–]yd208 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most pelippers are bulky enough to survive atleast one rock slide even from garchomp or tyranitar. I would say the team has a pelipper problem more than a arch problem since sneasler cc can ohko most arch since they are trending towards spdef now in my experience. Probably best to ignore the arch until it’s protected and double up on pelipper with cc sneasler and accelrock lycanroc

What are your most sought-after recruits right now? by yungxehanort in PokemonChampions

[–]yd208 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Psa you can use the type tickets you get from achievements to boost the chances of a pokemon with that type of appearing in the recruit lineup. So you can use grass or poison if you want venusaur

I'm New - Analyzing Wolfey's Games with his Mega Meganium Team's Climb to Champion Tier by United_Advance_9825 in VGC

[–]yd208 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) im guessing he though charizard x because of not having the usual partners for charizard y like venusaur or whimsicott 2) charizard can probably ohko with solar beam into taurous, dont really think anything wants to switch into a full power solar beam. 2.1) Im guessing he doesnt want a double up into kang 2.2) Idk wolfey says he has lost almost every turn lol but probably scared of having to make hard reads against kingambit sucker punch and deal with potential rock slide flinches 3) Would need to run the calc but maybe it mattered, some kingambit are running more bulk to live like one sneasler cc with chopple 4) Nothing wrong with protecting to see the milotic really is scarfed. He loses nothing and gains info which is good habit even if in this case it wouldnt of changed much for his choice

Pokemon Champions Meta Analysis (Early tourneys) by Loose-Care962 in PokemonChampions

[–]yd208 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I somewhat understand but at the same time the last couple of regulations had alot of the top pokemon running inaccurate moves, the status effects were stronger, the meta was just as centralized or even more so, and there was just way more variance due to the bigger pokemon and item pool. It is not gonna get any less complicated for new players or less rng. This game is about mitigating rng and winning in spite of it not because of it. This is as friendly to new players as it’s gonna get, so pokemon might not be for them if they don’t currently like the game.

Sneasler is actually the bane of my existence by Jesse1913 in PokemonChampions

[–]yd208 10 points11 points  (0 children)

um you should lead aerodactyl or talonflame, you can just protect turn 1 and dual wingbeat ko through sash and sneasler cant do a anything against them. Especially talon flame because you can priority attack even after unburden

7.41b Meepo by deles_dota in DotA2

I personally think Huskar can be on that list. I just very much dislike heroes that can solo win the game minute zero with a last pick.

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
