Pretzel Rod Stewart posted:it’s like a critical hit but for capturing Pokémon. they added ‘em in gen 5, and it basically means that instead of rolling three or four dice to determine whether a Pokémon is captured the game rolls one die. if it’s a yes, then it’s a yes. (in-game this looks like the ball performing one confident shake instead of a handful of iffy ones.) I think critical is still 2 checks instead of the standard 4. Which get shown as the shake and the seal. Unless they've changed it between SM and now.

Critical captures are always 1 shake check. The first shake is guaranteed. At that point it can break out or stay in.

I don't play Pokemon games, and I'm not even a lurker in this thread. But I wanted to let you all know that my 7yo daughter has been getting into Let's Go Pikachu and asked me to print out her first GameFAQs guide - a strength/weakness chart. A true rite of passage as a young gamer.

I'm finding Pokemon has been a great way to "engage" with my kids, and a hell of a lot better than most of the things they could be doing with online devices. I'm also 100% sure my son's love of all things Pokemon (from GO, to the card games to the mainline games) is what helped him get interested in using and understanding math. Now this guy has an encyclopedic knowledge of Pokestats, and he whupped that 7 star Charizard multiple times.

Pokemon is an excellent gateway drug into mathematics and biology tbh. A lot of pokemon are based on unusual real life animals.

Anyone got any plans for how to deal with the upcoming Cinderace raid? It seems to me like once again Azumarill is ideal, but I see lots of whining about "ugh people bringing in fuckin Azumarill" and also once the raid Pokemon turns off your ability, as they always do at some point, Huge Power shuts off and Azu sucks until you die and come back, which isn't a great strategy when it hacks a big chunk off the time bar. I was thinking maybe Ceruledge for immunity to the high power fire and fighting attacks Cinderace'll be packing, and Clear Smog will gently caress with any stat-ups it uses... but Ceruledge doesn't exactly have much of an HP stat or physical defense. I'm also expecting Cinderace to be packing Sucker Punch.

The problem with Azumarill is that most randos aren't running Shell Bell with Azu so they'll Belly Drum and immediately get owned, ruining the raid for everyone. Also, Play Rough is bugged and breaks the HP bar. I'll be bringing my Sylveon and beaming the sucker down.

I think the nicest thing with Cinderace will be that its HA ability Libero shouldn't factor much offensively since it'll be forced to be its Tera-Type for its defense - also Libero and Protean only activte once per fight now What it does mean is that if you get it to use sucker punch (for example, dunno its moves) round 1 it should only get STAB on Dark and Fighting (tera) attacks the whole raid e: might want to bring an Armarouge to draw out a Sucker Punch r1 so I can buff w/ less fear? will probably be trying that first Lux Anima fucked around with this message at 20:53 on Dec 22, 2022 |

I would be shocked if Cinderace doesn't have a hard-coded first move like Charizard did, to set its Protean type. And if it's gonna be tera Fighting, it makes sense to me that that'd be a Fighting-type move.

I am down to mostly version exclusives and a couple trade evolutions to fill out my dex. Managed to get a Skrelp through Wonder Trade. I also got 4 Charmanders in Luxury balls in a row. All from different people. I’m building a nice little collection of French and German Pokémon. They go in their own box.

Space Cadet Omoly posted:What's the advantage of using shell bell over leftovers? I haven't spent much time in the competitive scene and I'm curious The amount of healing from Shell Bell is based on damage dealt, and since Tera Raid Pokémon have like 25 times the normal amount of HP you’re getting back that much more

what's the purpose of giving raid Pokémon all that extra HP if attacks are similarly boosted to do much more damage? just more leeway to calibrate stuff?

thetoughestbean posted:Tera overwrites Protean.

Also, Play Rough is bugged and breaks the HP bar. Play Rough doesn't break the bar, the bug is that damage is applied twice to the bar itself but the next time it properly reads the HP so that's why it looks like it kills but the mon survives.

I did *not* send out something as good as that. But I have caught a spare Iron Valiant that I'm gonna let go tonight into the void. Good Natured Filth - let us know if you need a hand with anything in those games. I'm sure there are goons here who will throw shinies at your child till she's bored of them.

For kingambit, because I’m obsessed, would pressure or defiant be better? I have the Tera type I want (flying) on a pressure one but defiant on a less advantageous Tera and I’m training both anyway but idk which one to actually take for a spin (if either, because it’s so slow) None are shiny why do I give a poo poo ahhh this loving game rules

Pressure is a pretty garbage ability, especially on a mon which isn't even good at stalling. But also you're gonna lose teammates in Ranked so unless you have it exclusively as your lead or first sacrifice Overlord is gonna probably be relevant more than Defiant. You don't need maximum value out of it for it to be worthwhile.

SO is a 10% boost to BP for every dead Pokemon... and official ranked uses 3v3 and 4v4. And in 6v6 where you get the max usage unless you play Smogon you can just use Houndstone for 350 BP Last Respects go brrr. Defiant counters Intimidate, Defog and Chilling Water so yeah, much better.

There really aren't that many good users in ScarVio outside of Mence and I haven't seen too many people running it.
