@EnigmaticGaymer @Dr_Wildy @Alexis_Vgc My worry is that Legendary/Mythical/Ultra Beast/Paradox pokemon will be considerably difficult to get specific ones where people who have bought the games they were in will have a massive advantage. Yes, it's not P2W currently, but we can't say that won't change for the worse.

@Dr_Wildy @Alexis_Vgc Objectively not pay to win. P2w requires the paid thing MANDATORY to get decently ranked. It is not. VGC players are just salty whiny bitches who think being expected to play the games of the franchise a lot of them are paid to play is somehow p2w.

I wanted to run an experiment. I started Champions from scratch again: no HOME, no GO, no Starter Pack, nothing at all. After 50 minutes, I already had a solid team that let me reach Ultra Ball within 2 hours. So how can anyone call this game pay to win?

@Eduardude1 @JoeMerrick Araquanid should be solid into it with TR set up, but is otherwise not a great pick IMO. You can do funny stuff with Guts ability, or just Fire Types that can't be burned.

@JoeMerrick Easy solution is to not attack it until you know you can ohko it atlease in lower tiers Pray that you arent running full physical attackers

Been using Scovillain as my Mega for much of the past week and I am glad I’m not nuts in its versatility and how it is a surprisingly useful Mega Though now people will hard counter it 😅

@somguythatexist @WeLoveObii Roar without the negative priority.

@WeLoveObii Roar with extra steps

i forgot hatterne gets magic bounce but doesnt matter still stopped the trick room 😈😈😈

@AjentVee @Xeminan Moves that hit multiple opponents do reduced damage.

@Xeminan My goat Joe with the advice 🙌🏽 I will admit I lean more towards hyper voice, maybe I should Moonblast more.. 😅

Like can we nerf Archaludon already? Who in the world thought this Pokemon is balanced? 😒

@swordnwhorecery @NoContextSpoof "Pizza the Hut's back? "Yes. He's returned." "How?" "Somehow."

@NoContextSpoof Calling it now: Scary Movie is just going to be a bunch of “haha look it’s a visual reference to that one movie!” *lukewarm gay joke*, and Spaceballs 2 is going to actually satirize the trends of modern sci fi/Star Wars

Scary Movie teaser: “WE’RE BACK!! AND THIS TIME WE’RE CROSSING EVERY LINE SO YOU SNOWFLAKES BETTER BE READY!” Spaceballs 2 teaser: “Hello it’s your old pal Mel Brooks & here’s the sequel I jokingly promised 40 years ago. Sorry the title is different, thanks for stopping by :)”

@The_Broface @TroidW @M2guelEsh Go look up the animation for the attack from Champions please.

@TroidW @M2guelEsh You are not shooting the moon at your opponent, you are not a skull kid.

Bulletproof not being immune to Moonblast is otrageous btw

@NBinted @Rhymestyle rejoice for you are not alone!

Witnessed someone with a Focus Sash on their Destiny Bond Gengar in casual battles. I love this game so much.

@BallNotKnower @JoeMerrick Did you recruit your whole team or did you transfer some in from Home?

@JoeMerrick I have more VP than ik what to do with. I rly don’t get how u can run out of VP unless u make like 6 new teams a day. The achievement and missions give you so much.

We're a week into Pokémon Champions so how's everyone feeling? I'm not as harsh on it as I was on launch but I still think the item pool is trash and the VP situation is far worse than most players seem to realise, but in time you'll see it. The bugs also suck. Still fun though

@PKSparkxx Right where I'm at too. Also a constant stream of Kingambit/Milotic as Incin counters.

Ultra 4 in Champions is hell. IDK what the hell these teams are that I'm facing, but each one is miserable.

@MagachusettsMan @TorkWhisler Make the worst quality products that people will still buy for as high as they're willing to pay. Welcome to late-stage capitalism, please buy more overpriced garbage.

@TorkWhisler My Kenmore washer from the 80's lasted 25+ years. Busted a strut and I thought it was done. Repairman said it was the best model they ever made and was worth the $85 or so to fix. We make disposable plastic crap these days, and it's more expensive. smh.

The appliance guy told me five years is pretty good on a washer. Five years. I bought it in 2019 and the bearing is molded into the drum so you can't just replace the bearing. You replace the whole drum for $900 or you buy a new washer for $985. The refrigerator from 1989 sitting in my garage has never been serviced and runs like a top. That's your product quality report, folks.

@JarcXenon @NEORottweiler @ygorganization Yubel taught me this lesson. Can't use spirit to search Throne since it doesn't mention Yubel, just "Yubel" monsters.

@NEORottweiler @ygorganization I have bad news about End of the World Ruler

EVERYONE HOLD YOUR HABAKIRI there's a huge correction: The first effect is actually (1) Reveal 1 Ritual Spell in your hand or Deck and add 1 monster that mentions it from your Deck to your hand.

@arisinvestor @TheLegalMindset This is much worse. He travels with intent to cause problems. Less than 0 respect for this asshole.

@TheLegalMindset A lesson to respect all cultures Some people when they travel just become retarded , no respect

Somali Trial Update: The prosecutor has arrived in the Johnny Somali courtroom, along with judicial staff minus the judge. Roughly 40 people pack the room, with many standing or sitting on the floor awaiting the sentencing. Multiple major Korean media journalists in attendance taking notes. Cameras are outside the courthouse to film both the arrival of Johnny Somali and his potential trip onto the prison bus for post-trial detainment.

@HYPAVOX Ah nice, you've got Wide Guard in your movepool.

Hello 💛

@TheRealGreedo1 @Mokeywabelle I'd be more worried about a camera or shit like that. Airtag not super relevant since they already knew the address.

@Mokeywabelle Miwa please check that shit for airtags or trackers, because that's actually some fucking psycho behavior.

Whoever did it can actually fuck off This was beyond stressful

@IceTrainerBen If they are on Dire Claw/Close Combat/Fake Out/Protect they literally can't touch Aegislash, as an additional option to Aerodactyl.

I really like Sneasler as a Pokemon. I just kinda don’t want to use it on my team because it’s everywhere and I ain’t tryna be that basic. What are some good strategies to counter it?

@Xancholis @nemuiryuu Flashback to last week with No-Guard Entrainment into Sheer Cold.

@nemuiryuu Showdown is full of people who believe they’ve solved the meta, so it’s rare to see variety Champions is turning into the home of people who pondered their orb of evil for weeks straight to make you as unhappy as possible that you got paired with them

girl there are some demons in ranked fr I just saw FLING GARCHOMP with light ball to paralize. I swear you dont see this in showdown

@landacdeus @GunweebJimmy So many people's only measurement of success is how much time they spend working. Don't let other's bad attitude get in the way of your life.

@GunweebJimmy Seems they are just jealous of you having fun and having a good work-life balance 🫂

Is having a happiness is wrong? Somehow this recently—I just knew from my close co-worker about people talking behind my back in the office… Over-Work, Overtime, became a morale while having a rest and have fun is Toxic (?) “Jim always have fun—he never had to come to work on weekends” “He never have to cancel his trip because he got his priorities more important than his job while his friends work on holiday” “He did not do anything—The only thing I see is he is carefree, scroll through SNS all day” “He taking a nap at lunch again” It’s sad—Especially when they are from the people you do trust…And at some point…I felt betrayed….i tried to be kind and they said cruel things behind me instead…. Turns out I only got few friends who I can really trust….Even some of the oldest relationship at work can’t be trusted any more…. I’m so drunk right now…. Fuck me

@HYPAVOX In a fight? Probably 2x. Spikes on the shoes and other accessories are much more effective in battle. Love the hair on 4x, super cutie.

Battle !! 🔥 4x Voltage vs 2nd Voltage! Who wins? ⚡️

@HoodlumCallum Next to zero chance they let us pick from 10. My guess is we pick from three. Gonna be premium tickets/pass, or like once every few weeks for f2p. Expecting it to be overmonitized, but hoping to be wrong.

I do wonder how Pokemon Champions implement legendary pokemon with the recruitment screen Maybe it'll just be rare chance, like shiny pokemon

@BellyDrum21 @ya3marro @PlaymakerYoum Yeah, get the switch out, then come back in for the Intimidate next turn against the two physical mons. Just was missing that one critical bit of info.

@ya3marro @PlaymakerYoum rain

This guy's gonna learn why you never click parting shot without thinking ever again 💀
