If PULSE Muk was used more than once, do you repulse it?
SpoilerPulse / re-pulse, get it?

So I just beat the main story in Spork (I still have some sidequests left) and if I had to summarize my end-game battles in one sentence, it is:
I'll never underestimate Masquerain again.

Rejuvenation V10 Spoilers:
SpoilerJust defeated Souta and Dimensional Rift Aelita in my Intense monotype run. What's the deal with the suicidal Drifblim? Should it go for another move before Memento/ Explosion? Souta wasn't too bad once I figured out how to approach this battle, took me like 2 or 3 tries. He really needs something like Gliscor in his team. Otherwise it was rather enjoyable battle. I don't think Souta needs any nerfs.
My team for the battle:
As for the plot itself, I'm a bit confused but I believe the main principle is that changing a thing in one dimension of time (past, present or future) will not necessarily make things any better. Changing one thing can lead to many other outcomes or changes, both good and bad. Changing past or future creates an (endless) loop of outcomes.

He has Skarmory on Normal? To be honest I can't say I agree with this change. Sure, Drifblim dying ASAP might allow the rest of his mons utilize Tailwind, but Skarmory brings important resistances which the rest of Souta's team lacks like Rock (due to Strong Wind) and powered-up Flying.
The problem with only one Tailwind setter is that it's relatively easy (at least for me it was) to stall long enough for Tailwind to die out. I suppose that's just the power of dual screens. The big hitters like Braviary or Pidgeot either got outsped or tanked by A-Raichu and Metagross respectively.
Edit: I forgot to add that in my opinion that Dragonite is his weakest link. Fire Blast is nice Steel-coverage, but other than that it fell pretty flat.

Well, it was a highly offensive skarmory- it seems to me like most of its investments went to Attack and Speed, which combines with the Defense drops to make it fairly squishy for its kind. It isn't intended to stall like most builds, and packs Steel Wing just in case you decide to try and stall it out with Rock Type despite the weather (though I suppose Alolan golem would be able to put it in its place pretty easily). Besides, it makes skarmory weak to Fire, which can come in handy for some people!
As for stalling out the Tailwind... I tried that the first few times, to be honest. It... really didn't work so well (largely due to how frail most of my team is, admittedly). Even once his skarmory fell, he had his swanna come in and clean things up- it outsped a good chunk of my team after the Tailwind petered out, much to my chagrin. It took me a good number of tries before I got to see is Mega Pidgeot, and that's with a good few strategic adaptations (and Revives). I was pretty much forced to use the Seed strategy against him just to stand a chance! And even then, it still took me a few more tries. (It probably doesn't help that I didn't remember that Mega Pidgeot's Ability is No Guard until after I finally won- I had been playing it safe by using Poison Jab instead of Gunk Shot, because missing would've spelt disaster for me).
Going back to your first post though, I don't think gliscor would've been too effective on his team. The Sky Field completely negates Earthquake and Bulldoze, meaning that it would either get stuck using its less-than-stellar Special Attack (Hidden Power, Earth Power, and Mud Slap) or the not-so-good Sand Tomb just to have access to that STAB without changing the Field. It can change it to the Mountain Field on its own via Smack Down, of course, but that removes the benefits from Sky Attack and Hurricane indefinitely, ultimately weakening Souta's whole dynamic. Don't get me wrong, gliscor's a pretty cool pokemon, but it simply isn't something the old man can make good use of...

Sturdy guarantees Tailwind without the seed or anything, so offensively oriented mon like that Thundurus could perhaps make better use of it. In my experience Souta needs another mon for setting Tailwind again.
I guess it depends on your team composition what kind of approach or strategy works. My Metagross has HP and Atk EV investments so it can take a few hits. My Lunatone also has HP EV investments, it resists Dragonite's Fly and Fire Blast not to mention it has Moonblast for dealing super-effective damage. This Dragonite is leagues easier to deal with than Dragon Dance variants.
I wasn't thinking of Ground-STAB when I suggested Gliscor. Even if it can't use Ground-type moves, it still has access to moves like Sky Attack/Acrobatics and Tailwind. Gliscor also boasts nice physical bulk and useful resistances, it's weak to Water and Ice only. Then again, he already has Thundurus for negating Electric-type moves as well as Braviary for Sky Attack spam. You might be right on that Gliscor doesn't work for Souta all that well.

Just reached Hunter Rank 100 in Monster Hunter World. Next up: 50 cleared Arena quests. 27 left...

Ganon goes mad over the revelation that Link doesn't want his face to be the greatest in Koridai:

Now that Monster Hunter: World is so close, that got me thinking:
Primeape is an angry monkey. There's also an angry monkey in Monster Hunter -series. There should be a shiny sprite (or event where this special Primeape appears) based on this angry monkey. Meet Rajang:

I think I'm getting the hang of how to hunt Nergigante: I just achieved a personal best record of killing one in under 10 minutes.

I just took down my first Nergigante. Third time's the charm, as they say. I on the other hand have to say: I love this monster. Strong and aggressive, but not the point of bs like Apex Rajang.

Apparently there's going to be yet another (third) Monster Hunter World Beta. This time it takes place between January 19th - 22nd, so basically it's right before launch. Like the previous Betas, this one's also for PS4 only.

So, how about a buff for Titania in E18?
Spoilershofu beat her on his first serious attempt. At first he reset due to crit + flinch on his Cofagrigus

@ArcherEric Exactly! Considering that shofu struggles against most Gym Leaders, Titania is the one who he then defeats on his first try.
@Youmu9 If I understand correctly, Dragon-type is added to Fire-type moves, making Flare Blitz Fire+Dragon-type move and thus neutral on Steel, but still super-effective on Bug.

Some observations of a Dark Souls & Bloodborne casul:
1. Kill anything that moves. In fact, kill it even if it doesn't move. What do you mean it was a NPC? Well, tough luck.
2. >try doing something good
>everything goes to shit
3. Meet whateverthehellthatis the boss
4. You died

@Alistair If you pay attention to item descriptions, you get some level of understanding. If nothing else, you should realise your task is to kill the Lords / Great Ones / Gods or just some beasts. With that said, they're not easy games to understand lore- or story-wise, since that part of the game is up to the player to discover.
-
@ZargerthThat was a joke based on how the Souls games give you notoriously little information on a plate and the players have to read/research a bunch of things by themselves to get the full picture.

Since you're French, I though you might like this (also let me know if the translations in the comment section are correct):
They speak French around up to 1 minute 29 seconds mark, the rest is in Finnish.

I'm on a roll today: I just finished Bloodborne. To be fair, I only had to slay the final boss (or final bosses)

Now that I have obtained both Ralts and Beldum and done all side stuff so far (except collecting every Zygarde Cell), this Monotype run has reached it's temporary end. I'll continue this run when V10 is released.
These are the mons I used throughout my run:
