You should post that rocket grunt with the lv 17 rattata in the hideout youâre supposed to challenge after Pryce
A shame they could go unappreciated
I really dig the extra scratches and wear on common points of contact. Tells a little story that she doesnât let her face or center mass get hit
Iâm not in a hurry, Iâm bored off my tits. If you arenât playing emerald/platinum specifically, you canât trust early PokĂŠmon NPCs to even pick their best moves. Even those games only save that level of âchallengeâ for bosses.
Itâs reasonable to want these bad fights over faster
Nobodyâs arguing the job canât be done by everyone! The problem is itâs not fun to watch a skarmory swift all the trainers to death when you know the same 10 pokemon everyone always uses can do the same and let you move on faster.
why is it such a herculean ask that every pokemon brings something to the table? What if somebody just likes mawile and wants to use it? Why do they have to get shackled to playstyles that drag out battles and donât offer wins you canât get more easily by ignoring your favorites?
Why would I do this 3+ turn setup when there are intimidate users and baton passers that can just fight normally? Mawile doesnât suck because it canât do anything, it sucks because it using it takes inordinately longer for no benefit. RSE doesnât reward strategizing this much
You canât assume every playthroughâs single use TMs are going to every single hypothetical. Something thatâs certain to happen however, is that enemy lairon is intimidated and it doesnât have any unresisted moves either. EVs/IVs mean youâre going positive bc speed and flinches.
Physical/Special split haters always want to argue using a stat spread/ability like mawileâs to bite a lairon to death for 9 turns is actually a viable strategy but will never utter a peep about how fun that is to do.
