Every pokemon fangame has its flaws, but to this day I find Insurgence having no way to solo-trade-evolve to be the most egregious. You're literally relying on the game having a fandom in perpetuity, in order for a good chunk of the dex to evolve.

I'm seriously considering it as well, I'm super curious about how he dealt with the first gym. As for insurgence itself, I'm don't like it as much as I like Reborn and its kids, but it's not really bad by any means. The absurd variety of really good early mons (Drilbur, Riolu, Magnemite, and Marill are all available before the first gym) I think causes the difficulty/player power arms race to spiral out of control. I do love the delta pokemon though, especially D. Charizard and the "New Moon" original weather mechanic. Back on topic: Yeah that stat war against Hitmonlee was probably the height of T3's stupidity so far. At least we won't be seeing that again -_-. As for upcoming fights, I honestly think he'll struggle with Azurine Taka, and that Cain at Bybyxion gate will give him trouble as well. Cain's team is super bulky, so I'm wondering how he's gonna deal with that. Maybe if he picks up and trains a mud-type from Azurine, like maybe Gastrodon or Seismetoad, that could really help. I'm very very excited to see T3 react to Solchomp though. I know he'll bs clause it (as is reasonable) but T3's reactions so far have been absolutely top-notch.

I think the AI is programmed to use weaker moves at lower percentages in order to try and catch switch-ins.

Very excited for this development. Watching every battle turn into a Swalot stallfest wasn't very fun imo. Now he will have to seek out new strategies. I am kinda mad he used one of his newest and best additions as death fodder, though. Palossand is a good Pokemon, dangit!

Tfw you're sick as a dog but your film professor drops a grade point for every absence
EDIT: I was so sick I had to go home. yay?????
-
Yeah it only gets Zen Headbutt via move relearner. Other than that, the guy's toast. Belly can't tank the entire gym, and with their setup moves each fighting type will instantly be on a level with Stockpile 3. To add to that, I really don't see how Belly hurts Stockpile 3 on machamp.

There was a reason I said specially-offensive dark type. Dark types are immune to Mirror Coat. As for the guardians, that's why you just don't send it out early. In a double battle scenario, the fight would be easier at the end, since it would be two-on-one. Additionally, Glitch field doesn't negate abilities, so technically it would make it immune, but then people just Prankster+Perish Song it, or use any other damaging status move. For what it's worth, I think it's honestly more effective to block off status moves than attacking ones, since due to the high stats of pulse 2 pokemon, percent health damage is simply the most efficient option. EDIT: Actually, this is what I'm worried about overall. Stall only has to deal with the enemy's offensive stats, not defensive ones, so it may be going forward that the best route for all future single battles will be to just toxic stall until the cows come home so you never have to deal with the absurd bulk of enemy pokemon.
-
Problem is, a single specially-offensive dark type with Focus Blast can put a stop to that.

downloading Insurgence on my new laptop. Hopefully this run will go better than my earlier ones...
Orion is a super tough gym leader. You basically need a team tailored to him, which is kinda sad since all the early mons in Insurgence are amazing.
-
You actually made me laugh out loud, Thanks. You sound like goddamn Solaris.
-
I don't think P-muk can be cheesed so easily. That thing HURTS.
-
He's not wrong.... Also "i did a bit of training" (gets a Pokemon to level 27 from 21) Also also him intentionally walking away from side content hurts me.
-
Also I think going all-in on mirror field abuse opens PMM to getting smacked by Synth Seed Flash Cannon Magnezone, and/or the same with Empoleon and Lucario. CM synth seed Lucario could even set up on whatever other mons PMM's trainer is carrying, and come in to PMM with enough spatk to OHKO. Also having 2 slots devoted to screens leaves it potentially open to Shedinja. As for Clawitzer, Mega Launcher/Origin Pulse sounds incredibly likely. I'm not sure what a good field for it would be, though.... like, Water Surface would be good, but it wouldn't be very unique or memorable.
-
I might actually go and make this my first difficulty mod run. I'm very excited for this!
-
IMO the only strat people will need for Saphira is DD Moxie Salamence with stealth rock and sleep support. Dragonite is the only Mon she could have with priority, and with only five levels beyond the cap to work with, I don't think Extreme Speed can OHKO before Outrage or Dragon Claw OHKOs it right back.
-
Got Mareanie for my Rejuvenation mystery Egg. Unfortunately, two of my main team are Swampert and Alolan Muk, so I can't really make use of it unless I go full poison mono. Then again....I have the tools....I am planning a mass poison strategy for the water leader, though, with Sludge Wave from Muk into mass poison spam. For now, it's time to prep for Akuwa Town.
-
I was thinking Magic Guard+Dual Screens on a Mirror Field, so status like toxic can't kill it, and have it just be tanky/evasive enough to take normal attacks. Still doesn't deal with Prankster PS Nonsense, though.
-
Yeah, Meowstic's good as an attacker until about Serra, after that it's lack of stats starts to really show. Afterwards it's exclusively useful for prankster screens/other support.
-
Oh, I didn't realize you meant THAT earlygame, I was just thinking, like, starters to Shade hahaha. I'll hold off, then. I'm honestly excited for this series; planning different teams and strats is a large part of how I engage with this game, so I'm excited to see what others think is good.
