Just had this eye animation glitch happen to me on my friend's screen and we thought it was hilarious lol. What do you think?

I've had a few runs in Mesa at this point where the tumbleweed just constantly hit you into the worst things, especially cacti. Tornadoes and apparently antlion pits now too xD

How have your Mesa runs been going recently? Have you had your whole squad wiped out like this? 🤣

A clip from my "movie" that I thought people would enjoy lol. I have a few more, but it's my first time posting here so I don't want to spam anything, haha. How have you all been using rockets? I haven't been able to successfully use it effectively yet since I've only had about two different encounters with them lol.

I posted a game of me playing Alolan Raichu's Stored Power Buffs. I think I made some pretty good points of it in the vod. My opinion currently is that stored power does what it did before, just better now. It still has the same weaknesses in range and burst.

Put simply:

Electro Ball - It has more range, burst, and setup potential making it a good pick against bulky teams. Its weaknesses lie in it getting instantly KO'd by speedsters that can out-maneuever it, or just make it generally hard to hit them. There's a lot more I could talk about with Electro Ball, but I don't want to fully nerd out on it lol.

Stored Power - Its extremely consistent and is GREAT against speedsters as long as you're vigilant. One wrong mistake from a speedster, and it will most likely get them KO'd. That said, stored power still lacks range and burst, and if your team doesn't have that, it's probably better to go Electro Ball as long as you're good at it. Its also less effective against teams where you need group damage.

In short, if you love Alolan Raichu as a whole like me, you should focus on making your moveset draft specific. Stored power for guaranteed tracking damage, and Electro Ball for games where you need range and secure damage. At least that's what I think.

Let me know your opinions below!

I had a passing thought while playing A9 on ladder yesterday: "What made everyone stop playing this character?" And then the next game, I got absolutely destroyed by a Suicune while playing A9 again and then I was like: "Oh yeah, that's why."

I feel like they should buff A9 sometime so Suicune just isn't a 2.0 version of it to be honest. But yeah, enjoy the montage if you see it lol. Wanted to bring this up because A9 doesn't get enough love nowadays.

I wanted to make this guide for players that are looking to improve. Just to clarify, this is not self promotion. In fact, I'll probably even lose views on my main video because of this.

The reason I am posting my guide series here is because I feel like it's something our community needs. While there's a lot of info out there, some things can only be learned in-game, and sometimes it's just hard to know where to look. All I want in return is for everyone to take what they need and have more fun in their games. That's what's important.

Thank you, and stay awesome out there🔥!

Extra:

Why the Settings I mentioned matter

- Boosted Attack Gauge: Important for certain characters that rely on their boosted attacks to function.
- Advanced Controls: Allows you to target between farm and enemies. Good for securing wild pokemon or farm.
- Automatic Basic Attacks: Reduces the control you have over your character. Plus it feels much better to attack on your own.
- In-Motion Pursuit Mode: Makes you follow people automatically when you basic attack. Once again, it is a hindrance to your controls.
- Scoring from Hold to Press: Although this can be preference, it is definitely much easier to repeatedly attempt a score through tapping rather than holding.

I made some of these for my Youtube video, but I figured I'd post them here in case anyone might want them. The Theia Sky Ruins Spawn Timer, nor the Map Timers are mine, but I figured I'd include them just to spread the info.

I'll be making a lot more for everyone in the future, so please let me know if you appreciate it and what else you'd like to know.

P.S The "Theia Sky Ruins Spawn Timers" chart is outdated. I wish I'd looked closer. Do not use the timers for reference. Instead, look at Game8 Guides or ask Google.
