In maybe the most perfect timing I decided to cosplay hollow knight for #AnimeNYC and there were just so many silksong believers it was a celebration 🥲
@PatrickGratton@cinemattie In what way is he a martyr in the end? He dies a coward - he takes the pills, immediately regrets it and trues to throw them up but is only thwarted because his agency is taken away from him in the exact way he took it away from her
@justinbyleth I think its the most popular combo but primarina really does feel like the perfect partner for it. Redirection plus burn means prima becomes unkillable with a calm mind boost, and fire types run from the hyper voice spam
Archaludon is an extremely tough matchup though
@TierZoo@Light_88_ This would be cool because some counterplay could then be more controlled by the pokemon put to sleep too. Like sandstorm could be a method of staving off sleep because of the chip damage, and sleep teams would maybe not work as well with hazard spam. Also seems like an easy fix
@MorganEndicott4@pokemonpatches I dont think so tbh. I like that the options for dealing with special attackers is different for physical attackers and that its a little harder to deal with special offense. You want them to feel unique
@RainePots2004@Peko_girlboss Im convinced the only reason its not psychic is because game freak already had two waster psychic evolution lines in gen 1 and didnt want a third
But like… why did you make a duck with latent psychic powers and call it psyduck then??
@jimothycool Worse even they made it a TM so a ton of pokemon can learn it so it barely constrains team building. Like compared to spikes its WAY more distributed
@jimothycool I would be curious to hear from the dpp devs on their philosophy for stealth rock. Beyond ruining so many pokes, it also does nothing for doubles or the in game experience (things they care about). The 1st gym uses it and then almost never again, so what was the point?
@anom_texas_man@jimothycool I agree with Jims points in the video too but most of the things you are referencing came from earlier generations? Sleep and paralysis have always been frustrating and perma sand is a staple of gen 3 OU
@Zarxiel2@MrDjWalnut Bug/Dragon with sandstream would have been very cool to me (if you modify sand stream slightly to make the pokemon also immune to sandstorm)
@Slatzism My cats are hard to control with this stuff but thats half the reason if anything is touching my counters I’ll just wipe them down before using them
