I am like 70% sure Crustle is no good.

the most moba-pissed i've got at this game so far has been when one of my crustle teammates kept constantly walling me off from killing people, presumably accidentally, and letting them escape lol

im sure it has a use but that has informed my crustle opinion forever now

i gotta say i really, really like the selection of pokemon they have so far, i'm really glad it's not just the popular ones. like even though you have your lucarios and pikachus you can also play as a dumb walking bird that likes to eat or whatever an eldegoss is. pretty cool and varied and i'm excited to see what else comes through

i was considering fly because i liked it more personally not because it was better necessarily, until i realized my opponents could see the circle where i was going to land moving around lol

two back to back games with completely opposite zapdos results, those point flatlines on either side lol

i can't believe how much fun i'm having with this and how i'm never getting mad at it after playing ranked for a few days, i think it literally is almost completely the 10 minute timer. aside from the crazy broken zapdos swings they did a really good job of fitting the whole ramping up gameplay "story" of a moba into a relatively short timespan. evolution power spikes and learning moves fit really well and intuitively into the genre too. its a shame its attached to mobile game monetization garbage but i'm honestly having a fantastic time with it with almost no caveats

also the two birds are both really good and fun. cramorant gang

i realized you can use eject button while using cramorant's ult without interrupting it to chase people and actually got a kill off of it lol

i just had one of the two enemy players alive in the last 30 seconds in the game visibly and obviously walk across the top of the map to score a 100 point goal while three of my teammates one by one jump padded from base down to the bottom where i already was holding off someone that didnt have any orbs just fine

we lost by 3 points

life is pain

some balance changes just announced, pretty expected mostly but everything is really loving vague like everything on a nintendo console, like

the japanese notes are straight up better for some reason?

https://www.pokemonunite.jp/ja/news/15/

The amount of damage done to the opponent's Pokemon has been reduced, and the invincibility time when activated has been reduced.

for hex, for example

japanese site says ninteails passive isnt going to proc when youre hiding in grass any more

good changes all around, especially snorlax and eject button

e: whoops wrong move, i dont play ninetails
it says the bug with aurora veil was that it was increasing the passive chance when active

i got master tonight finally :)

about 50/50 red bird/blue bird up until around ultra, then i basically had to pick the blue bird because people were always slamming mid instantly at that point

cram is really crazy in early game lane with an even semi-competent partner and i was running level 20 energy amp to blow up teams so i could swing games lol, as soon as i got it to 20 i got an 8 win streak. and you know what they say about correlation

still having a ton of fun honestly, pleasantly surprised its lasted this long

yeah basically just explodes basic evolutions early-mid game, but the problem is you only have enough cooldowns to burst down one person and then you can't do anything and you also have no health. so if they're playing well and their squishy mons are positioning correctly, it's hard to do anything other than trade and instantly die every time, until a certain point in the game where you can't even trade because their hp gain outscales the burst damage you can do. the biggest thing in a macro sense is that you could always be running something else mid that can take on three pokemon at once alone at level 7 anyway and also has a better ult for zapdos

really good for climbing ranks though because you can just delete dumb people and output enough damage to finish objectives quickly like a bargain bin gengar when only 2-3 people know what they're doing. also very fun and you're a bird
