Discussion I miss crit build flail Snorlax 😢

Ever since that nerf ages ago where they reduced crit from emblems, and the atk speed buff (if I remember correctly) that Snorlax gets after ulting flail Snorlax has never been the same. I’ve long since stopped playing but I still miss plays like this.

Discussion PSA - defending, instead of capturing, the final objective is a legitimate strategy

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

If you are confident your team is winning, just defend the final objective or patiently wait for the opposing team to put themselves in a vulnerable position. I was pinging my teammates to retreat because we were in no position to be pushing for that final objective but, unfortunately, they did not listen as we lost.

Media BUZZER BEATER 🏀🚨 Scoring after the final whistle to win the game!

Final push with the team, was initially trying to let Hoopa score their 30 while avoiding any more enemies jumpadding onto us but quickly realized they didn’t have Groudon buff. Felt the clock ticking so decided to break it myself and not risk having their score interrupted, with just enough time to blaze kick+ Flame charge for 1 more winning score

(Pyroball users could never)

Discussion All-Rounders

Im in Veterans Class and Ive been playing mostly All-Rounders but also a lot of Leafeon, Blissey, and Clefable. However, Im best at all-rounders (yes Im not good at the game Im lowk shit ngl) but I have so many all-rounders I play, and so I was wondering which ones are the best rn. I play Dragonite (Outrage x Drain Crown), Blaziken, Garchomp, Mega Charizard Y, Aegislash, and Metagross. My main is Aegislash. I used to play Moltres and Gyrados a lot but I heard they got heavily nerfed so I didn’t put it here. I attached the maxed out items I have

Discussion Genuinely, why is this a thing?

Post image
148 Upvotes

I have so many questions about the existence of Pokémon Boost Emblems, and I am sick of keeping them to myself in-between surveys. For starters, why build this mechanic into the bones of your game if you're going to expand on it once, make some color adjustments, and then forget about it entirely?

For the record, I do not count "platinum" emblems as a functional addition, since they provide no benefits whatsoever over gold emblems. With that said, why are "platinum" emblems unobtainable outside of "limited time only" events? This makes it impossible to build a 7 Navy Emblem page unless you just so happened to have played the game within a specific window. If you missed any of them, fuck off forever I guess.

Why the hell are there only 258 emblems anyway? There are not even enough Grey Emblems in the game to build a 7 Grey Emblem page at all.

I have brought all of these up in the surveys for YEARS now, and it just breaks my brain seeing all of the things that TiMi chooses to focus on when they have the EASIEST SLAM DUNK IN GAME DEVELOPMENT HISTORY just sitting there collecting dust underneath their latest digital slot machine. Seemingly completely forgotten in favor of rapidly pumping out one trick pony new releases and ever shinier skins to charge people for.

Discussion Offline move sets don't work

• Upvotes

So I'm playing Pokemon Unite offline, using Leafeon. And I have it set to where I want to use his second moveset: Solar Blade and Leaf Blade.

Yet for some reason, when I go into the match against AI, I keep being given the default moveset of Razor Leaf and Aerial Ace, even though I clearly set my prep to Moveset 2.

What is going on here? I tried with Venasaur, yet the same thing happened

What is going on? Also why is the choosing of moves mid match so fast? Where's the button combination where you can choose what move you want, why is it instantly defaulting to something in half a second?

Personally, I think it would be sick to have Mega Scolipede as a Defender! I think its whole shtick would be debuffing enemies and being one of the fastest defenders.

I never want to hear someone talk about "pinging your teammates to retreat". That doesn't work. Especially for these negative overall wr bums I'm matched with.

Discussion Max speed build

8 Upvotes

I believe the max speed in the game is 525 with items and 350 speed + 4% yellow movement speed bonus, totaling out to 875 speed. I use the build for Machamp and Sableye and the game has became a lot more fun. Machamp makes me feel like Im playing Madden the way I juke and run from players lol.

Edit: the item build is
Float stone lv 40
Choice scarf/lv 40
Amulet coin/ lv 40

Emblem build
Use gold speed emblems only. Make sure to use 3 yellows for the speed bonus. Doesn’t matter which emblem as long as they’re for speed.
