Warstories Warstories may be less appropriate a title than "Annoying/Difficult Battles..." Unlike the 1845 run, I did not make a point of saving battles with amusing or idiotic AI throws unless the battle was already theirs to win. There were only two battles saved for research purposes, both...

Posting a completed streak of 2578 wins in Ultra Moon (console.) My prior personal best of 1845 was reached not quite seven years ago. I was content to let it sit there for eternity, with better players bumping me down the leaderboard as well as it taking an enormous number of battles to even...

Posting an update to my four digit streak, now at 1400 wins. Dino Nuggets has been retired indefinitely and replaced by Spidey & Friends; this team remains virtually unchanged save for three important ones: -Oranguru runs a new build, 252 HP/228 Def/28 SpD, Sassy. -The move orders have...

I've finished recording the battles I cared to; thirteen in total. These are not meant to glamorize the team so much as display some of the challenges/bullshit they dealt with (occasionally due to my own input) or the amusing ways the AI would throw, especially with enemies that would've been...

Posting an ongoing streak of 1,000 wins in Ultra Moon Super Doubles. “Repto attempts a serious tree streak in 2024” was not on anyone’s bingo sheet, was it? My 3DS and UM cart had nonetheless been getting quite a workout lately, between helping to build my randos roster for the Eisenberry...

(heavy breathing) we gotta have a spare robe somewhere

…oh… This may sound unrelated, so don’t read too much into it, but could I get your thoughts on Acid Spray? As a move, I mean. Do you find it has desireable qualities that warrant further consideration, experimentation, prioritization, etc

It's nice and quiet. I think I'll just scoot on over here... That guy who evidently is a banned alt or something asked what I was up to, and the answer at the time of questioning was "nothing related to pokemon" but in recent weeks that has changed much for the worse. I've been running randos...

Just a minor correction, Gravity does not increase the accuracy of OHKO moves. For that matter, evasion moves do not decrease the accuracy of OHKO moves. Those moves use their own formula to determine a hit or miss, and when both pokemon are the same level it’s about 30%.

here have some apple juice in a transformers sippy cup not a pokemon sippy cup tho because evidently itll dredge up bad memories

but then how would it make him feel if you copied his team and got a higher streak? the more left to the imagination the better. let him enjoy dominating the leaderboard for at least a while before you start gunning for the throne geez

Why run such a niche move like stabless Psychic on Volcarona if you don’t cross-reference anything and thus wouldn’t know what niche you’re filling? Why not just Giga Drain instead? You’d be far from the first person to use an oddball attack, but pretty much everyone else makes its purpose well...

What the fuck did I just read!? This takes me back to previous gen leaderboards where the gap between first and second is ludicrous in scope. Tursk 6840 meet Jump 282. Well played... We live in the same state so when the demonic overlord to whom you pledged your soul comes to collect, I’ll...

Even Wide Lens and Mystic Water are options for a poke like Arctovish. The latter will bring Rend to a flat 204 bp, a nice spike in damage. Freeze Dry is sadly lacking on that squad, since Swsh Tower has no lack of excellent fodder for the move <_< Edit: as for the team loss, I don’t think...

Iron Ball vs Room Service is usually a pretty one-sided contest for most things. Preferably your speed will lie in the 40s, and 49 is automatically hit by base 50s. Something at base 75 like Dracozolt will hit 48 after triggering Room Service. It’s my favorite user of the item because that T1...
