IGN: PrinBruce TITLE: Nothing smells like Christmas more than SHUNTING Proof that it was not AI:

Fr. As a NU player (aka someone who has to wait for who knows how long to find a single opponent), getting to 1200 points is anything but fast. Just did it again to get Typhlosion, and it felt like a snail walking lmao

What is being discussed here is how hydreigon is shaping the meta in a way that is be seen if healthy or not, so I think it`s expected for everyone to try making it a corteous conversation As I have seen argumented in thsi thread, yes, Empoleon`s usage has been around 2 and 3 percent the last few months. However, when one looks into Empoleon`s Tournament usage, it is as high as 4,74 percent, which is around 91 percent more than what it was in September, month before the update. There`s much more to look out of a mon than simply ladder`s usage rate However, I think going back to discussing Hydreigon is more useful than focusing on Empoleon right now

And thats just talking about the pokemon u get. The other pvp rewards are even less valuable... Like, 1 unity of an untradeable item (which most pvp players have?)? Oh, ty...

The "easiest" ladder rewards we have is from randoms. Every other tier is a pain to get too, specially UU and NU (theres so few matches ur expected to wait a few turns betweeen ur battles). It would not ruin the economy because the effor to get a ladder mon is much higher than simply buying up a semi comp. Considering an average 30 points per win of a match, u would need 40 wins to get to that point. Even if u won all ur 40 matches straight (which I think is unlekely for everyone, but ok), with, like, 8 minutes per match (which is even lower than a lot of matches, specially considering stally metas, like NUs, but ok), u would still need 320 minutes of play (not counting wait times) to get to 1200 points. Thats 6 hours and 20 minutes. If u just didnt pvp and instead used the most consistent money methods with that time (aka gym run), u could make over a million, which would let u buy almost any 5x31 natured mon u want I dont think the problem to economy would be reward mons when, as u just said, Alphas left a MAssive dent in the mark and continue as op as they are, and the effort to getting to such a point in pvps is really great and huge. Its not as easy it seems

This thread been helping me a lot as a NU player! My recommendation is to put Blaze as an option for Typhlosion. While Flash Fire is certainly great, Blaze is really useful for when Typhlo has low health and is forced to use flamethrower over Eruption. With Blaze's boost, while it wont hit as powerfully as Eruption, it also wont be fodder with flamethrowers 90 points, and just the possibility of Flash Fire will already make ur opponent wary of using fire moves against u

Agreed with Caio on this one. When u Have to use an inferior mon simply cause the tier doesnt have safe ways to counter it, then there seems to be a problem. Since Empoleon is there to check Hydreigon and isn`t nearly as useful - or good - as the current OU mons on other functions, ur mostly playing a 5 versus 6 many times simply to check 1 mon

Sold off. Pls close

Okay, but how would someone be able to easily do that? Even for the best pvp players, winning a tournament so frequently is unrealistic - not to talk about catch events, which are even harder to win The "easiest" gift mons to obtain are the 1200 points reward ones, which are also not that simple to obtain. Also, it takes 2 weeks for the reward mon of each tier to change. Considering we have 52 weeks a year, that would be around 26 reward mons per year, which is not even half a box, and that's considering the person gets every reward mon from that tier, no skips or weeks without it - which only the most ultra giga pvp lovers could do. Of course, the person could also get reward mons from more than 1 tier at a time, but playing consistently on 2 or more tiers simultaneously is crazy of a work, specially for a whole year... I agree that the 1200 reward mons don't need to be perfect, but while casual players may use 2x31 and have good times with it, some more specialized pvp players won't even touch such mons - maybe to test a crazy or new set, but not as the main one -, and I see it as a shame that pvpers can't even use the mons they got after so much work Example: 252+ Atk Fighting Gem Hitmontop Close Combat vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Hitmontop: 142-168 (90.4 - 107%) -- 43.8% chance to OHKO (considering the standard set for Hitmontop currently as adamant, technician, fighting gem, according to pvp statistics) This means that using a 1200 points Hitmontop can be a real problem, since u: - max hp and attack and is almost certainly outsped by opposing hitmontop (considering a perfect one), which means urs die over half the time 252+ Atk Fighting Gem Hitmontop Close Combat vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Hitmontop: 145-172 (92.3 - 109.5%) -- 56.3% chance to OHKO ( 25 def hitmontop has more than 50 percent of chance, instead of 43.8); - max hp and speed, but then urs chances of ohko ur opponent are reduced to 31.3 percent (again, perfect one), while he wayyy more likely to ohko u; - max att and speed, but then, again, ur even more likely to be ohkoed. These considerations were made with the standard set of 252hp, 252 att and 6spe in mind (set taken from the the NU sets samples) Of course I dont mean we should gift out perfect hitmontops everywhere, since that would reallllyyy impact tyrogues market, but having one of the best and most used mons in the tier have such a marginal disavantage on this interaction (which is not a random one, since, at least today, hit is NUs most used mon, with nearly one thid of usages) is just one point of why I personally think reward mons need a revamp Sorry for the long text.I cant talk about other tiers unf as I am a NU player, but thats my opinion ❤️

Yoo This is making me wanna try doubles out too

Reserved spot!!

Hi, guys! Got 3 tyrogues to sell. First Tyrogue: Adamant Nature 31/31/25/_/22/31 No particles and 2 egg moves (Mach Punch and Bullet Punch) Second Tyrogue: Adamant Nature 31/31/22/_/28/30 Panthom Particle and 2 egg moves (Mach Punch and Bullet Punch) Third Tyrogue: Careful Nature 25/31/20/_/31/24 No particles and egg moves Any questions, just call. I dont have any defined prices, so just state your offers, please 🙂

I just got my PvP Reward one too (froslass)! From randoms this time. Yeah, it stays in the box - same as other rewards

Hey, all! My suggestion is a really simple thing, I think: make the mons we get from Reward Points (the ones that come in Masterballs) come with their Hidden Ability unlocked I'm someone that really likes the detail that they come in a Masterball, make them unique! But I'd like to argue, why do they not come with their HA? I mean, honestly speaking, it's not even worth to waste a Prismatic Pearl on them, since you can usually buy a HA unlocked PvP-ready semi-comp version of that species with same - or better - IVs by the price of that Prismatic Pearl alone It just feels really underwhelming to battle so many hours through PvP and one of your rewards (cause most people don't play for it, but it's a nice little token) comes off as not usable (or worse than what others use, which is a disavantage)

Im a NU player and am searching for options of Special Walls. Tried mantine, but it loses too much momentum! Any recommendations? Also, I noticed not many people are playing Nu rn sadly. Do people play more at night or what?

All those feebas 0x31? And tyrogue?

Hey! Searching to buy pokemon with no Ot (the ones I know of are stantler, snorunt, cubchoo) with at least usable Ivs and non neutral nature. Hit me up if u know of. My IGN is PrinBruce, Im usually more active there 🙂

yoo They still for sale? Interested in the druddigon

Ty a lot! Getting great inspiration from this

It really is a shame to hear that 😞 And I hope all of well goes to you. Please try not to overstress. Even if there's no winners in the end, it was a really fun and great experience, at least for me - and I think others would agree Thx for the event, truly 🙂
