Deoxsys-D with pressure, recover and massive bulk does strike me as very good yes. The best part of it is how its actually fast by gen3 frontier standards although you are somewhat forced to invest heavily in HP. The obvious attempt is probably sub/recover/cm/ice beam. go max hp, timid, nearly...

I doubt many people here have played this. Assuming movesets and stats/ typing are largely unchanged, the very obvious contender would be the sheer utility and bulk of what mew in particular can do. This is largely cripple/ baton pass/ etc rather than actually using mew directly. If you check...

I'm not saying you are wrong about lum vs occa. It's just my experience that the list of pokemon that can status bronzong is longer and more annoying to deal with than the list of pokemon that can OHKO it. The other problem I have (with no lum) is that if something "goes wrong"; i would rather...

Jumping on the Tower Multis Train and submitting an emulator winstreak of 102 with Latios @ Choice Specs EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe Timid - Psychic - Dragon Pulse - Thunderbolt - Draco Meteor Heatran @ Leftovers EVs: 124 HP / 4 Def / 228 SpA / 4 SpD / 148 Spe Modest -...

I should underline that this isnt any kind of direct accusation and its more just feedback but because 300+ is a lot (and because I think people may copy this or something very similar to this) I'm going to be more direct. Early smaller thoughts: Occa bronzong should actually survive a lot of...

I'm going to ignore the rude, solipsistic and delusional parts of those posts. This is the most important part of this entire discussion and I think the decision on what constitutes a sufficient level of doubt from a trusted observation (this is, a streak that is done transparently and with no...

A sensible starting point may be the gen 4 smart AI since this has a reasonable amount of carry-over on other moves. The gen4 AI states (for trick); if the user (CPU) has; choice item, iron ball, sticky barb, lagging tail, power items. Then +5 score ("almost always use it even over a KO move")...

When you posted asking for help on multi on emu (please someone help him with this if he hasnt got it setup) I very much assumed "ok that means Carlos is willing to play on emulator; great; he can also stream his practice or stream other things to help clear things up". I see now we are back to...

Ok if we're finally gonna talk about pokemon then maybe this'll go somewhere. I actually agree, in that I think openly inviting hundreds of people to play the arcade would be very revealing on the truth in aspects. I think with the right approach and information that 300 will fall but I will...

I reject this framing, it's nonsense. However intentionally snide it is or isnt, you don't gain any credibility by making up shit about my character. Stop trying to make this about anything except the game. I am actually much more open to believing you than I bet most people reading this are. I...

I'm going to politely draw a line under the whole "magpie doesnt like fun and doesnt have fun playing and we do" discussion and all the closely related rhetoric and parallel points. I have ignored it/let it slide the first few times but I think thats enough. I could make you both look...

Nice work so far. I have 1 quick piece of advice; the level you play at in open level actually matters. Pokemon do more damage to each other if their levels end in ...3, 5, 8, 0. Pokemon do measurably less damage for levels ending in 2 and 7. It would be a small but significant buff to your...

Yeah Emulator runs are about a million times easier to livestream or record. I realise "but that's not the actual run i'm submitting - my actual run is on retail" - but imo the proof of "are you good enough at the game to do this" does not have to be the literal streak, it can just be showing...

I'm so glad you are still around! That's not surprising and it largely tracks with how I play on stream too, although you are clearly a lot better than me and everyone else i've seen play the arcade live if the misfire is like 2-3 in 273. I'm asking this for your benefit too (because such a...
