@thechosenberg I dunno sounds like he's conflict avoidance. I think it's sort of just a conversation you guys should have about how he can better phrase or handle his discomfort.

People clowning on her for this but I've no-lifed Pokemon for the full 24 years I've been alive and every six months I need to Google some niche interaction like "does rock resist poison"

@recondirective I have no problem with Sneasler Kingambit but if my opponent leads Aerodactyl and Grachomp I'm fucked. There's really just not much you can do agains some match-ups, so there's peace in that.

hi vgc players! me again
if anyone has advice for my team please help me out 😭 i’m struggling a ton against sneasler/kingambit teams so would love some input from people who actually know what they’re doing!

@annbauerwriter When you're a teacher you have to delete Facebook photos of you holding red solo cups it's really that serious out there, man.
English
Am I wrong to think that a teacher's entirely private life - in which they do nothing illegal or violent - is off limits when it comes to assessing their job performance?
This guy did nothing in front of or near kids. I don't see why his stage performance is relevant.

Kwikpanik, CEO of 8192@Kwikpanik
can we talk about how hard it is, even as an established VGC player, to play against people who have no clue what they're doing?
English
@combtay Terrible advice. Ttar doesn't mega until his first attack (protect non-mega) and even then not always, if my opponents are low enough that an unboosted rockslide in trickroom will KO and I know they're doing a weather switch shenanigans.
English
Champions reminder: unless you have brought two megas or your base form has a different reusable ability, you don't need to conserve mega like you do tera. Even if you're just protecting t1 you should mega so if you swap out t2 you have better defense stats to switch back in with
English
@polar721 @TrueBurna You can't play Pokmeon assuming your opponent will make the worst play possible and hope to win. You have to play smarter. Your opponent has fakeout and a move that will ohko your Gengar if it doesn't protect. You MUST assume he will do that unless your situation is desperate.
English
@BirdKeeper89 @TrueBurna If the sneasler however went for a close combat into incin which I think the perish trap user was prob focused in on, the perish trap user would’ve won right there.

Literally the only way prrish song works here is if you CC your own Kingambit WTF 😭😭😭

@aoxVGC There's nothing meta essential about a Pokemon that gets killed by Mega Venusaur
English
Sorry but pokemon can't talk about making champions accessible without once again having another game with a meta essential pokemon locked behind a game purchase paywall, that is the anthesis of accessible
This combined with the freemium platform its on and its not a good look..
IceTrainerBen💜🤍🖤🏳️🌈@IceTrainerBen
It actually surprises me how many people are complaining about not having AZ Floette… like yall are this interested in competitive pokemon but don’t play the games? I’m confused
English
@DJ_Gekko24 @IceTrainerBen Yes there is. You have weather for their weather and you have your speed for their speed. If they tailwind, you trickroom or have a faster tailwind team. Or you have a slower tailwind team but are bulky as fuck, or you have priority moves for common threats. That's most answers.
English
@IceTrainerBen The part I think is the worst is you never have a team prepared for every bs gimmick in this game. They’re using trick room? What about Sun? Or rain? Or only fast Pokemon? Like there’s no way to have a team to deal with all. So some games you just outright lose regardless.

I fucking hate Mega Delphox (I’m gonna train one now)
English
@HoodlumCallum Why not. Why do the physical attackers deserve less?
English
no not everything needs to be symmetrical <3
mob@m0bbbbbbb
They should make an intimidate ability but it lowers special attack instead
English
@polar721 @TrueBurna There's nothing the Sneasler could do to Gengar, so why would they ever target Gengar. There's a 0% chance he targets the Gengar. That's a losing play 100% of the time. If it loses 100% of the time it's a bad play. You don't perish song infront of fakeout and a super effective.
English
@BirdKeeper89 @TrueBurna Oh yeah fs I’m just saying the perish trap user prob just forgot to consider sneasler would fake him out first. It’s not THAT bad of a play as if the sneasler did literally anything else he could’ve won on the spot.
English
@polar721 @TrueBurna But he did. He would? There's no other option here if they're competent. Incin is slower it will always flinch or switch out so perish song will never work turn 1.
English
@BirdKeeper89 @TrueBurna Yes however I’m saying if sneasler didn’t fake out incin, incin would’ve faked out the gambit and he would’ve won.
English
@CybrTwnk @nochillwillie Bellydrum Snorlax in doubles! And it made it to Ultra! Pretty good, man.
English
@nochillwillie I’m still trying things out but this has gotten me pretty far in double battles
English
@IceTrainerBen Or like someone else said, hop on Pokemon Showdown and practice
English
@IceTrainerBen If youre too slow, tailwind or trick room, if youre weak specific common threats, counter it. Garchomp fucks my team but he cant touch Corviknight. If I get rid of Charizard and Rotom essentially Corviknight sweeps everything else. Untouchable, unkillable without fire/lighting.
