Should I drop my Ivysaur for Mr. Mime?

Just got Mimien and done with Surge. Supposedly, Bulbasaur starts to fall off around this time, while Mime’s psychic typing is the best in the game.

Right now, I try to only carry 3 battle mons (Mankey and Nidoking are the other 2) with me, as I also take 3 Meowths for item collecting.

I know Alakazam is apparently better (which I can access via ACE once it’s accessible) and Jynx comes later, but is building Mime a good idea?

What is the max speed I should target?

So it’s my first time EV training in this game. I’m just wondering if there are speed thresholds that I should target for the toughest available battles in the game (Elite 4, final rival battle, battle tower?).

Was thinking overdoing speed in my EV training for naturally fast mons may be a waste when I could be adding more bulk.

OVO Associates Rory and Mal saying Drake’s and Cole’s albums have no staying power?

Cole doesn’t try to game the charts, Drake does. Still, they ended up more or less on the same spot according to OVO associates Rory and Mal, which is quite surprising that it’d come from them.

Sure, they may be past their primes. And numbers aren’t everything except for Swiftie-type fans.

While these albums kinda felt they came and went except for their hardcore stans and dickriders especially in this sub, I think blaming it on “changing consumption habits” is a cop out.

Owls not doing enough? Bots not doing enough?

After being the ONLY ARTIST IN HISTORY who immediately dropped off after hitting 100M Spotify listeners, the drop-off continues.

Should the owls be doing more? Can we reactivate the bots back up? Another fishy moment for the owl community.

u/Heisenperv — 18 days ago

Forgot to reactivate the bots upon hitting the milestone?

Owls can be quite fishy too, huh.

Or did the fans just stop listening to the music once the milestone has been met? After all, it’s all about the numbers.

But yeah, it’s better not to ask these questions.

Congrats to the boy.

Been to Japan a few times already, but it’s my first time to go see Fuji

Still not that sure about how to go about it, thus some questions on the day trip:

  1. Fujikawaguchiko is where we should go, right? I also read about Fuji Five Lakes although not sure if it simply refers to the area surrounding Fuji.
  2. We’re staying at Shinjuku. We can buy bus tix on the day, right? Since we’re still not sure which day to

go yet (we’re basing it from the See Fuji site).

  1. And if I’m not mistaken, we should go directly to Busta Shinjuku?

  2. Which spots or activities should we hit? Saw the ropeway and the lake cruise. So that’s what we’re gunning for.

Confused about the Nikko Pass

We’re going to Nikko for 1.5 days. I’m inclined to ride the Spacia X. Is this included in the Nikko Pass from Klook or is there a normal train included there already? Really confused with all the options.

And is the pass generally worth it if we plan to go to the shrines, lake, waterfalls, and Edo Wonderland the next day?

EDIT: Spacia X tix just ran out. I guess I have no choice but to take the regular shinkansen. I assume it’s not included in the pass?

Do you prefer listening to music or to charts?

Music is just mere sound. But the charts say a lot.

The Alex Warrens and Taylor Swifts rule the world, after all.

Bot the streams, bot the polls.

This is just funny at this point when we have seen time and time again that rap battles, or just rap, isn't Drake's greatest strength.

It's charts. Numbers. Legit or not. It's melodies. It's pop. He gathers strength from his own version of Swifties. Only it's grown men who have never been with a woman their entire lives. Drake can be formidable in some aspects, but he isn't in this lane.

What can I realistically do with 1.5 days in Nikko?

And what would you recommend?

I'm thinking Toshogu area -> Imperial Villa and/or Kanmangafuchi Abyss -> Lake Chuzenji/Kegon falls on Day 1 (or this route can be reversed) and Edo Wonderland on Day 1.5.

Numbers don’t lie: Or maybe they do?

Sure, this only accounts for digital downloads. But albums that had lower total sales still had more pure sales even w/o physicals. Fishy? Owls probably have a narrative for this already.

There’s also the fact that Spotify ADMITTED to “mistakenly” puffing up his numbers.

I believe the real test is if fans actually flock to the tour. Not sure if Drake can pack stadiums, but he should be able to fill arenas without having to cancel dates that don’t get bought.

Feel like you shouldn't be saying stuff like this if you're suing

Drake with the melodies is fine, but acting tough and acting white when you're suing doesn't make you a "real" anything. And I don't even like LeBron.

Otherwise, the track is just ok.

What rank did you end the season with in Doubles?

I went as far as 20k, but I slid especially after trying out new teams. Was gunning for rank 2 at the most.

Now that the season is over, what tier & rank did you end up in?

And what team did you predominantly use?

u/Heisenperv — 2 months ago

Is there something I’m missing about Scarf Chomp and Stomping Tantrum?

There’s very little chance you get to activate the move’s double power, right?

Cos without being able to use something like Rock Slide the previous turn, you rarely will be able to get the bonus?

So it’s just there if you don’t wanna use Earthquake?

Teams and strategies that are trending down

What teams or strategies do you feel are trending down in doubles?

Been in Master Ball for a bunch of weeks now, and here’s what I’ve noticed now that Regulation M-A is almost done:

  1. Archaludon: With its popularity, many have figured out counterplay for Archaludon. Focus on Sableye. Sunny Day and they’ll be left hanging with an Electro Shot you can Protect. After you take care of its enablers, then you bring out the big guns to take the bridge down.

  2. Mega Floette: Still one of the best megas. And I believe it’ll stay that way. I’m sure it’ll have a resurgence sooner rather than later. But with it being a glass cannon, bulkier options like Sylveon have taken over as of late.

  3. Trick Room: TR teams will perhaps never not be relevant in the meta. But with the prevalence of bulkier and slower mons like the aforementioned Sylveon in non-TR teams, such teams have a much easier time dealing with trick room. Aside from the fact that many players recognize the patterns bu now and know how to stall properly.

Which teams and strategies do you also see trending UP?

I also have the other shiny mega stone starters and practically any shiny from ZA.
