You ever walk by a kid with airpods in in the hallway and you just hear t trrrtststst sss ta ta trrttrratstst sss ta ta

@sinrin_gaming Except you could circumvent that by dropping IVs without sacrificing another resource

@euphitc That's always how the game has worked

Based on solely the eye test, Champions does look "good", but some points of concern here still: - PP amount adjustments - VP cost/earn ratio still unclear - Removal of IVs - Potential changes to stat drop calculations? - INPUT LAG WHEN SELECTING MOVES??😭

@dbMisadventure thought that was walter white on the left ngl

@SpacePokemon097 @KindofL @crycartband @JoeMerrick @nickkrillin Tbh this is the best point for getting rid of IVs I’ve heard this actually makes some degree of sense

@KindofL @crycartband @JoeMerrick @nickkrillin If anything, they're leveling the playing field by maxing out all IVs and simply having EVs be adjustable. This means that any Pokemon from Home won't have some type of advantage against someone who's simply using Pokemon recruited in Champions

I think it's a bit of a misnomer that people are saying that the EVs are gone and replaced with a "different system entirely" when what we have it a stat system that is +32 to a stat What's up to +32 in a stat at Level 50? Also EVs

@sinrin_gaming Every point that you invest in speed in order to not even not just speed tie with opponents but even your own pokemon now comes with an opportunity cost in bulk or power. It does matter. Yes, everyone plays by those rules now, but it is a shame and will create new situations

@euphitc That doesn't make sense. If everyone is locked to EVs to break speed ties and play around trick room then that becomes the new optimal. The depth doesn't change.

@sinrin_gaming Idk what to tell you man other than that yeah it is less optimal that’s why it does matter in practice

@euphitc Can do all that with EVs. It's just slightly less optimal.

@sinrin_gaming @smolPig21 Straight up untrue In 2019 some amoonguss ran 14 attack IV for water spout + foul play procing sitrus 17 speed IV heatran also used to be used 29 speed amoonguss is common in recent formats to underspeed calyrex ice and outspeed other amoongusses Various incins use non 0/31

@smolPig21 I was top 50 in showdown for 3 years straight. Outside of 0 speed, it literally has no impact in practice.

Malding on main but reg I is so bad idk what about this format inclines the average player to send the riskiest possible option in every gamestate but its so annoying to play against

The worst person you know is excited to use terapagos again rn

@CONEY Idk how restrictive you’re being with your rules but if they’re more restrictive I would genuinely consider resetting if your lillipup in the early game doesn’t have vital spirit

Starting my first Nuzlocke tonight in this game I've only ever played gen 1 without spoiling please give me a tip

@JacobSkraw They survived for 3 generations without indeedee they will find a way

If indeedee isn’t in the first format of Champions are hard tr players just gonna not play or something

@CaragCarlos @CaprisunFRFX Different Zain

@CaprisunFRFX What happened

wow man zain really let himself go after losing to rapmonster again

@Niarval @MustacheDLuffy @SheepEtiquette @OddishHime @AndyLaVGC Funniest part is OU ladder gets topped by wack strategies all the time so overcentralization is hardly an argument there either

@MustacheDLuffy @SheepEtiquette @OddishHime @AndyLaVGC Ok but we're talking about VGC, it has nothing to do with OU

Just in case you’re wondering, this is why VGC Is really small compared to the overall Pokemon audience

@coolhead34 @ZC2forBO7 @Zynasart @Zentay99 @JoeMerrick This is also not mentioning that both ghold and dragapult would have a lot of trouble into strong steel types and such mons existing frequently within the metagame also means that rotom would have to fight them as well

@coolhead34 @ZC2forBO7 @Zynasart @Zentay99 @JoeMerrick Flutter and calyrex are both restricted to formats where the existing rotoms get super powercrept. Dragapult isn’t that good but in a much lower power format the combo could see use. Gholdengo is a better ghost but that comes with speed issues.

Ok I'm sorry, I am breaking my spoiler policy a little here but the connotations warrant it Stereo Rotom (DJ Rotom) is Electric/Normal-type. Why would they do such a thing if not for the future?

@ZC2forBO7 @Zynasart @Zentay99 @JoeMerrick Its difficult to explain in the twitter limit but restricting a move to be an option only when a resource is burned/in a specific boardstate does have limitations and is going to mean that this rotom is going to have to be strong regardless of if it's clicking bburst to be good

@ZC2forBO7 @Zynasart @Zentay99 @JoeMerrick +Yes but the problem is are those mons actually contributing to the battle? +Tera will likely not exist in gen 10 There's a reason why even though these things are true many VGC players don't consider even moves like earthquake to be consistent enough to rely on as sole stab

@ZC2forBO7 @Zentay99 @JoeMerrick The problem is it hits the partner so unless there’s a reliable utility you can sit it next to it’s fairly limited in how much it can be clicked

@Zentay99 @JoeMerrick Think about it. After STAB and the doubles spread damage reduction, Rotom would be hitting both opponents with a base 157 power move on a base Special Attack of 105. That’s very respectable damage for a defensive utility Pokémon. Not broken by any means, but still pretty good.

Game freak is so funny they give Delphox a mega and a crazy stat buff and then they make it float so it can’t click eforce what a beautiful day

@SableyeVGC Been feeling this a lot lately

Why does every team in the format feel mid, garbage or just straight up not fun.
