MustelaFuro posted:

Why did he keep using swagger on physical attackers? I only use that it on special attackers or support Pokemon. If the confusion doesn't set in that turn then you basically screwed yourself.

Because there's a chance confusion will indeed set in and 90% of battling is assuming everything goes in your favor

I also don't like Hidden Power, because it just feels lazy. If I didn't know any better I would say it was some dumb Smogon CAP move with no heart behind it.

It also reminds me of when kids are pretending to be superheroes and keep making up powers to win.

"Well my hero is a ground/water type so your electric attacks are useless and there's nothing you have to hurt him :smug:"
"Oh yeah well my water superhero has a grass attack and now yours is dead :smug: :smug:"

Thanks for the recommendation to run ice fang over dragon claw on m-aerodactyl. I'm not sure why I didn't do it in the first place since Garchomp is so common, but it works really well against him.

Losing in doubles feels like I'm losing to a better player where losing in singles more often than not feels like I'm losing to better pocket monsters. That's my review of the formats, one love.

The greatest crime in viability is when adorable pocket monsters pay the price in stats. I'd much rather use the dapper little Murkrow and not the terrible abomination Klefki. Breloom manages to be the cutest bird/dinosaur/kangaroo on the block and still run hog wild though, thankfully

Last night I had a dream that in Pokemon Z Aegislash gets a move that causes him to faint but bipedal bodytype allies can "equip" him for a 1.5x boost to attack and it replaces their fourth move with King's Shield (both until end of battle of course). Welp thanks for listening
