How do i use this fat dog properly?

Got it's license in the new all rounder selection box and was never planning on using it tbh(only picked it because it's expensive and unfortunately it was the current stage of license ladder I had to work towards, so I decided to skip out on the grind)

But fortunately enough I decided to give it a shot today and did not too all bad with it, still feels a bit too tricky to get the hang of as of now and I've been running either drain crown/rapid fire scarf and muscle band, I'm not too used to these hit and run allrounders all too much so I'd appreciate some tips, the moves I used were metal claw and agility

What's the general consensus on these two weapons?

I've always been a fan of the drh to the point where I believe it is one of my most used weapons in the game, but after returning to the game after quite a lot of time I find myself feeling a little washed on it considering it's slow fire rate and somewhat inconsistent damage, that being said I'd love to hear yall's opinion on where this weapon stands in the current meta landscape.

As for the ram-7, it feels fun to use, best way I could describe it would be a more ethical version of the bp-50 lol, also please give any tips on the gunsmith on ram-7 since I'm still not entirely sure how to build it out correctly

Really been liking the qxr, is enhanced bolt neccessary?

I feel like it makes the recoil way worse than it actually is and actively hurts my performance when I'm taking mid ranged fights

Small laning tips because laning these last few seasons is already hard enough and I don't want it being even more ass

ALWAYS go for the middle bunny spawns first instead of the safe farm that spawns on your side, I didn't think id even need to mention it but good god some of my teammates prove to be quite dense

​

Similarly to this, the timings of altaria spawns are 8:50 and 7:20 respectively (you can do the math further but the time gap remains the same), stay in the middle for the altaria spawn instead of doing the baltoy in your safe area

​

Junglers, after clearing your jungle just please head to a fucking lane instead of fighting over middle natus or whatever those green birds are called

​

If you're playing a stacking mon, please equip either x speed or eject button and preferably only level 1 stack on allrounders or defenders since if you're playing an attacker it's quite possible you'll end up getting KO'd due to less bulk

​

And lastly, PLEASE don't fucking focus on getting the last hit on every safe farm and don't dilly dally around while your lane partner is hitting shit only to use your secure move on a SAFE SPAWN

​

XP DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY ANYMORE, YOU COULD HELP THEM DO IT FASTER LAST HITS DON'T MATTER ANYMORE JUST MAKE SURE THE ENEMY DOESN'T GET IT, YOU'RE JUST WASTING EVERYONE'S TIME DOING THAT

​

(Ofcourse the exception is if you're trying to stack but doing ts multiple times is just griefing because the more points you try to last hit the harder it'll be for you to score, and generally avoid trying to go for stacks 9:15 minute onwards since the jungler is probably there by then)

Is this a bug or a new feature?

The next mon i had to unlock was zacian and that was like at level 20+ Or something, I opened the game after updating today and it showed me that I had a license selection stage but it was all the way back at stage 10(you can see how I've progressed further up the stage too)

Anyway, I selected meganium because it's my fav of the johto starters and even after that it's still giving me a choice to select it again? Is this a rare w?

How do I stop feeling this way?

"Who are you when no one's looking?"

I sat with this sentence for a while today after I heard my cousin yap about his experiences over the phone, and..i feel strangely hollow

The person I am when no ones looking is a self sabotaging, self loathing piece of crap who feels like he's a burden to everyone else around him and has almost nothing(goals, aspirations wise) to look forward to or to wake up for in the morning, I'm lazy, I can be quite repulsive at times and I tend to blame myself for the littlest of things, ig it's gotten to a point where I feel shame even buying something for myself that's as cheap as 10 cents(converted from my currency to USD, assuming that's the vast majority here like other subs)

How do I stop feeling this way? I don't want to be like this, and it's been like this for quite some time now too, a few years(it sorta comes in waves, I'd say, the intensity varies). I feel suffocated by myself, that is perhaps the best way I could describe it.

I'm sorry if this sounded like deranged ramblings or something, I've seen a few of Dr K's vids and seen how people post on this sub similarly, maybe I just wanted to kinda let it out, but I feel like I..do need help.

Is there any other way to complete this?

Been stuck here for so long now, weekly we get a shard crate for the clan quests and every time i just can't get the farah shards, I'd like to have the character skin but atp its just infuriating

Any other way?

Turns out that allowing 3 charizards, in the same game at the same time, is still one of the stupidest decisions they've made

Like, WHY?!

This was a blindpick game but holy fuck do people just not wanna have fun anymore in this game Or what

Also, the megastones shouldve been items you had to buy from the very start, how could they have fucked that up lol

Ultra rank players are a different breed bro

Fuck you mean that it's been so long since trev has released and people still don't know how painsplit works lol, the buzzwole kept leech lifing me as if that was ever gonna do anything while I'm still attached to him with my painsplit

I lowkey won a 1vs3 or 4 idr near the end of the game because these guys decided it was a good idea to pop their x attacks while I'm still attached to them in order to take me down

Ultra rank is genuinely a whole another world

What has been your favorite of the 2026 releases?

My fav's been sirfetchd (besides the fact that it's the only one I own lol, didn't have the time to grind the others and frankly most looked boring)

It's a little bit of a bummer that I'm gonna have to miss out on the johto starters too because they look kinda fun, meowth was whatever and the legendary birds have never been interesting to me

Sirfetchd's whole gameplay loop feels so rewarding and I've recently started using fury cutter over leaf blade as a way of mixing things up and that's so much fun too

What's been your favorite?

Could a tankier garchomp build be viable?

I tried running one but the only defender item I went was Rocky helm(figured it'd be good with chomp's passive as they both will stack and have similar cd)

The rest were muscle band, rapid fire scarf and eject button

I know that ground garchomp has one of its moves that make it tankier or smtg, what items could I swap out if I wanna make it work?

Was bored, so here's a tier list of every mon and what roles they fill

Now I can see the comments going something like "oh but trev is also a damage sponge with painsplit and doesn't have to play the displacement moveset)

But that moveset of trev isnt what defines it as a tank for me so I didn't rank it there, but ofcourse one mon can fill(and a lot of them do) multiple roles

Latias isn't an attacker, but it sure as shit doesn't do much to support either besides shields and I didn't know where to put it

Same with pikachu, you could say it's a mage butevery fricking pikachu is always volt tackle and electro ball which is a support build through and through

PSA because ever since metagross got buffed I've been seeing more of them

When you unite, and you get the version where you're surrounded by a wall around yourself

You can reactivate the unite to make the wall disappear almost instantly since most times it'll be a hinderance to you and not an advantage

It's not necessary for you to do that since walling off a squishy from their team can be valuable at times, but in the moments where you feel you're stuck inside it, just click the unite again and the wall will disappear

I still see a lot of players who don't know that could be done, and most times it's better to just unite(when there's only one target in your scanning radius) and chase them down since it's a better stun and if you get the KO from the unite itself you get a decent amount refunded

They'll never make me hate you, meteor mash drain crown metagross

Came up with this build not too long ago and have been loving every second of playing it, attack weight, razor claw and drain crown

I like playing whacky out of pocket builds for the sake of it but somehow this one stuck and I'm surprised I didn't come up with it sooner, meteor mash deals one of the highest basic attack burst damage in the game and drain crown heals you based on your basic attack damage only, seemed like a match made in heaven really

This particular game I laned against a telekinesis scald slowbro and submission machamp (scald being particularly annoying since it cuts my damage down by almost 60% but I might be off on the numbers)

I'm genuinely curious, does the combo of items and moves here not make sense? Metagross is fairly tanky but with little to no access to healing and I suppose drain crown seemed like the best way to provide it, the longevity and tankiness really seemed to increase in brawls when I casually healed back more than a quarter of my health back in one punch(ps :- the game above was played without potion)

I'd really appreciate yall's opinions
