>>58589930got a trio of shiny bellsprout to offloadanyone want to trade an unwanted shiny for one?
gym anon, when you’re back reply to this post. old thread archived.
go here >>58590287 and let this one die it has the actual thread title. i fucked up
>>58589985Hey man, sorry it took a while. Im home though, let me know when you're ready for the greninja
>>58590432Shoot, I tagged the wrong post. Meant to tag this >>58589995
>>58590432I’m here.
>>58590455Cool. Room code is this post number.
>>58590479Sorry anon. When looking up the original trainer name, this is showing this as a hacked Pokemon.
>>58590510Well I got it from a giveaway, so its definitely possible. Just curious, how are you able to tell? I feel like I should check some of my other pokemons authenticity
>>58590520>how are you able to tell?>Well I got it from a giveaway,What a grand and intoxicating innocence...
>>58590561Yea, its almost as if I wasn't transparent about that from the very beginning, huh? Also, looking at the Pokemon, it has MY trainer ID. Im even able to nickname it. That's why im confused you saying the ID is fake. It seems like its literally my ID.
I want Diancie but I also want to get her in a Dream Ball.
Whats the verdict on clones? Will PC ban me if I have them? Do I need to trade them away?
>Hunted all shiny alpha versions of the pokemon I want to use in ranked>Get told alphas are ass in ranked because of big hitboxes
>>58592141Depending on the species, it raises your AOE with specific attacks, but itll make other attacks like Gunk Shot or Bullet Seed harder to use depending on where on the monster the attack fires from
>another shiny female froakie episode
>>58592141If you use earthquake it's beneficial to be alpha.
So Rocky Helment doesn't activate when you use protect or king's shield. Is that how it is in the regular games?
Is there any benefit to raising your speed in ranked? Feels like it's a wasted stat.
>>58593402
>>58592150This is helpful but still quite vague, is there any other information we have regarding the cost-benefit of XS vs XL? Any data on what specific AOE attacks benefit from XL? Obviously EQ is one, I would want to assume Surf and Heat Wave as well? What do you mean by “harder to use depending on where the monster fires the attack from”? Is mouth firing more reliable than firing from other parts? What are some examples of Pokémon that fire ranged physical attacks NOT from their mouth?You’d think we’d have a pastebin together by now fellas
Anyone got a Squirtle? I got uh, a Shiny Ariados.
>>58593540A regular squirtle?
>>58593428Well anything like Iron Tail or Breaking Swipe thats one sweeping motion benefits from sizeSurf and Waterfall I think Rock Slide increases in sizeFiring from the mouth is actually a huge problem on Scolipede for exampleIt's head is too damn high, so if you're too close, Gunk Shot and Pin Missile will whiff right over your targetIt may just be on a case by case basis based on each specific Pokémon's anatomy
>>58593416lower CDcorrect
>try topsy turvy>requires malamar to get within melee range to use itThis pokemon is dogshit.
>>58593428>cost-benefitIt's generally better to be bigger because attacks are bigger, the benefits to being small are basically:>smaller target>less likely to be seen and targeted>can sneak up on other players more easilyThe last two are less tangible than the formerAlso, this is what he means by some attacks might miss
>>58593428A smaller Excadrill might have dodged this
>>58593428And a smol dodge
>>58593647Buffs don't even last long enough for thay shit to matterYou'll probably KO before you even lose your buff
>>58593673Yeah, you can see here how if Xerneas was just a little shorter, Flareon would've taken that blast right to the fucking dome, regardless of how small Flareon is
>>58593673>>58593666Any other small close attackers like Flareon? I would use flareon but I already have a fire pokemon on my team.
>>58593694Excadrill and Pikachu, there aren't that many other than that. This could be an example of not seeing flareon due to size, the Metagross might have blocked line of sight of its trainer to my flareon.
>>58593694Beedrill requires some skill, but the people I see using it are fucking beasts
>>58593733>>58593694Example of Pikachu
>>58593743>>58593733I guess I really just wanted a fast attack that doesn't need to be point blank>blastoise can't learn wave crash in za>wave crash doesn't exist in za and is the only double edge not in the gameWhat the fug
>>58593748Waterfall
>>58593748There are more heinous crimes, like Aggron and Flareon both losing curse.I think they didn't want to give Phys water types waterfall, wave crash, AND aqua jet.
How are you guys beating all the Xerneas teams in ranked? Season 2 feels fucked because Xerneas is, as expected, completely absurd and it's so easy to cover for Steel attacks with a Fire-type. I'm seeing a lot of Chandelure paired with Xerneas so even going Metagross doesn't feel great.
>>58594155If you haven't realized by now: Mirror MatchThe only people that don't bring them are the autistic manchildren rushing into ranked
>>58594155EQ kills fire types and you can always switch to water type too.
>>58594155As far as I'm concerned the true "meta" is letting opponents group up and nuking them from far away with long-range AoEs. Blizzard Glaceon, Heat Wave Chandelure, Thunder Ampharos, etc. Have the situational awareness to know when to take an L, get knocked out and revenge kill everyone else. I got to A without using Xerneas once. Dragonite, Glaceon, Chandelure.
Is there a guide to the drop rates for ranked? I'm getting first and second but the apriballs seem like they rarely appear.
>>58595121
>>58595889>roughly equal chance for bottle cap or apriball>keep getting bottle caps
>>58594155just take the Xerneas pill. I tried to different counters and fighting the storm. I eventually caved in.now i'm having fun and getting love balls(which is great for trading fodder).yeah once in awhile someone comes in with a counter mon. Games I played, we gang up on that guy.
>>58595121i got to rank A without using Xerneas and no balls in return.
I thought Skarmory was the anti Xerneas and Meta mon?
Anyone got a shiny fennekin or shiny noibat they'd be willing to trade?
>>58597796Emolga pretty much blanks it and chandelure is far too common. You are always at risk of eating a heatwave.
>>58597853Only a noibat.41414
>>58597968That's fine
Thanks for the noibat anon!I've been resetting for five days for both that and fennekin lmao.
>>58598035That's a long time for no hits. It's probably too late but a turbo controller would make it less stressful.
I hear the word turbo everywhere. Can anyone here recommend a turbo controller brand? I did a turbo hunt once back in SwSh with DRACOvish.
>>585980898bitdo is what people use. I bought this cheap turbo off of amazon and it does work but it functionality is limited to only button presses so it's only good for bench setting. Also the dpad sucks.
>>58598089If you have a walmart near you, I recommend their Onn Wired Game Controller. Has turbo and an auto-macro function so you can afk methods like fast travel. it's also only 20 dollars or 15 dollars used
