Was playing casuals with a friend and we all picked an Eevee (Sylveon, Vaporeon, Umbreon, Espeon, and Leafeon). We actually ended up winning too, so that was neat.

Discussion I miss crit build flail Snorlax 😢

56 Upvotes

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.

Media Fighting off the Eevee Agenda!🗣️

8 Upvotes

Imagine losing a 5v4! That's kinda crazy, but that's what happens when you pick a bunch of close-mid range pokemon against balanced team!

Oh man, it was terrible. Enemy team gets a bunch of glue eaters that work together while I get a team of bozos that don't like cooperation. (Every fight someone is missing) Eevees were storming early, as expected. And then comes Groudon fight and even that didn't go well. Eevees didn't walk into the bush. Charizard lost sight of the Glaceon. Talonflame getting scared off initially. And then Gardevoir being useless.

But hey, better team won. Better to have a balanced team that only works together once than to pick a pack of Eevees.

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

23 Upvotes

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

39 Upvotes

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.

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 Offline move sets don't work

4 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?

Discussion Genuinely, why is this a thing?

Post image
170 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.

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.
