/pdg/ - Pokémon Duel General

Linking my ridiculous screenshot >>31991092 that I just posted in the last thread, for visibility.

>salamence, 1mp zard, evolved tyranitar, kirlia, lati@s
>300 rating lower
>while you have triple reuniclus and cheeseball ghost

I don't understand how you couldnt just win the game normally in the entire time

>>31991110
In hindsight, I wish I'd recorded the game. I forget exactly what it was, I think I'd gotten some unlucky spins earlier on. He ended up turtling on his back line, so I started arranging things carefully while he was trying to stall me into losing, and he ended up being forced to allow the Salamence to be surrounded, which threw him off.

>>31991131
no offence but it doesnt sound like a game worth recording

>>31991154
None taken, but I wish I'd recorded it to go back and look at what the trouble was early on, not because I think people would want to watch it.

so are Reshiram and Zekrom even worth? just got a Reshi from an orange booster

>>31991165
hell yeah they are
fly is an incredibly strong move to have on a 2mp mon

>>31991169
so what should i replace on my team with it?
Ho-oh
Charizard
Moltres
Jobberfrog
Yveltal
Salamence

>>31991185
charizard

Is whimsicott any good?

>>31991526
It's a pretty decent wall with 3 mp.

>>31991526
It's fucking good as long you have means to deal with gold attackers.

I want a standard gym that doesnt have any buffs or anything so you can just use your normal decks

>>31991191
It seems like people think Charizard isn't reliable. Why?

>>31992003
the only usable 1mp mon is metagross and thats because you dont have to actually use him, he just has to sit on board and cockblock reuniclii

>>31992004
manaphy works too, but for the exact same reason, just seats back and buff your mons

>>31992003
Zard is only good if you can get Charmeleon to evolve. Otherwise, just a B tier mon. 1MP with mostly 100 damage isn't good enough.

>>31992104
his fire spin expected damage is 120, but thats still not good enough for 1mp, especially with its high variance

>>31992114
His Ability, Speed Boost, gives it 2 MP if you evolve it from Charmeleon, anon.

>>31992118
I know, but charmeleon isn't easy enough to evolve
I'm talking about using charizard by itself anyway

>>31992125
You mentioned 120 damage, which is only possible if you evolve it, so it seemed like you were talking about an evolved Zard.

>>31992129
no, the expected average value from 50 damage fire spins at a 56/96 chance (before upgrading) is 120 damage
it won't ever LAND 120, but the average will work out to be 120

50/(1- (56/96) ) = 120

This is weird to hear
The so called strong Pokemon you guys talk about aren't the ones that give me trouble
In my experience any charizard seems a lot less likely to flub up

>>31992179
what rating are you?
people probably dont know how to use them

>>31992194
I've been steadily rising
Like 18-1900 recently
Only part way through that rose tower

>>31992236
you're still in tutorial mode
figures barely matter until you get 2300

>>31992250
That doesn't seem true at all
But OK

>>31992145
What the fuck is the point of finding the average out if it isn't possible

>>31992262
Seems pretty dumb for this situation

>>31992259
it is true
up to 2300 people let you walk to their goal without stopping you still

>>31992262
>>31992269
so you know how much to EXPECT
you cant just chuck it against a 200 damage fig and go 'oh I can probably roll 5 times and beat it'
if you know your EXPECTED result is 120, you know that you're not likely to beat it

>>31992286
The battles are so chance heavy
I've had good mons fuck me over plenty

>>31992286
You can't really avoid the game of chicken that takes place in the first few turns

Charizard is supposed to act as a deterrent, like Blastoise, it's the scary "but what if..." what gives it value, it only got a buff because fucking charifags can't deal with their mon not being the star of the show

Does anyone else's highest win record stat keep changing?
mine does, this game is fucking glitched.
It was 4 yesterday and now it's 2.

>>31992250
>>31992259
>>31992286
you need at least one EX powerhouse to get past 2.1 now
there are a lot more players, people know how to stop Shuppet and Deoxys-S
if you dont have something that can roll some form of high number you just get wiped out by shit like Ho-Oh
inb4 'just surround'

>>31992327
But rushing and surrounding has always been more reliable
Stuff like Ho-oh doesn't keep me from winning if I know when and when not to be aggressive

>>31992327
it doesn't have to be an EX
I'm sitting in 2400s, about to touch 2500s with dogshit exs but my 2 Reuniculus.

Also should I forget about my EX dreams and just spend mats for the third Reuniculus?

I didn't think they could outdo memebirds but holy fuck, Deoxys is fucking cancer. What were they thinking?

>>31992935
i bet you haven't even seen reuniclus.
but yeah, 130dmg deoxys attack was a retarded idea, mew and other counter pokemon are the only way to kill it and then again he can make you spin out of your yellow or counter attack and survive or kill you

>>31992935
if you can get on the offensive they collapse pretty easily
the attack one is the only one that can fight properly, so if you can take over spawns when it benches itself you can win off that

reuniclus is way more annoying

>>31992954
>attack speed deo with mew
>psychic without a reroll
Always

Do you know what I hate the most in this game? Rare Metal UC. Fuck that piece of shit. There's nothing that feels worse than getting two Rare Metal UC in a row from the fucking Wheels.

At least that can power up Shuppet if you have one I guess. Ingots are the real filler prize. They need to add something that actually makes you spend money.

With all the Mews running around, evolving it should be easy. 58.33% of getting Iron Tail, can use X-Attack to overpower it if it used Psychic. As someone using five unevolved pokemon, Mew is a godsend.

wow what a perfect idea they had to balance this

>>31993067
Metagross does okay against it but it's still pretty unreliable IMO. The odds are against you when the opponent can roll multiple times at no cost.

>>31993215
Metagross blocks all ability rerolls

>>31994304
You can always get a 2MP pokemon to the goal point before an opposing 3MP Pokemon can get to it, so there's no use using a plate. I get a 2MP pokemon to the point, and then once their 3MP pokemon covers one of your entry points, get one of your other Pokemon to knock it out. I'm going against loads of Mews lately, so this works out great for a team such as mine with a few unevolved pokemom, as I can evolve one either for free or by using double chance/x-attack, depending on the Pokemon.

>>31994458
So just don't play the chicken/rush game?
Who's your goalie then?

File: natu gif.gif (65KB, 42x48px) Image search: [Google]

65KB, 42x48px

>>31994486
To be honest, I gave up using a goalie. Maybe I'm just a lot worse at the game than I thought, but I kept ending up in situations where I have to go on the offensive but had one Pokemon on the goal point not doing anything. I usually place Vibrava and Magmar/Deoxys within two spaces of the goal, or if I need to play more offensively I use Vibrava as the goalie. Sliggoo hasn't been doing much though, so I'll probably get an actual goalie.
What do you mean by chicken/rush game?

>>31994559
In the first couple turns someone can win the game
Things like hurdle jump or infiltrator
It's basically a game of chicken
Betting that you will date to be more aggressive first

>>31994559
And I'm also using a sligoo
But should i just use the goodra if that's what i need for goal?
But then you don't get those evo bonuses
Hmm, pertussis it's good enough fort that early on the game

>>31994657
Perhaps

>>31994389
>Reuniclus
Deserved, faggot.

>>31994657
>>31994657
When I use Sliggoo to try to cheese a win, the opponent usually just places two Pokemon at their goal so Sliggoo gets surrounded if it spins Slippery Swap. While Goodra could spin Muddy Water to move them, I end up asking myself why I'm not just using Magmortar for Flame Gun instead (I evolve it from Magmar so it's 3-star). What's your team?

>>31995009
Which eeveelution is worth using? All I have atm is Sylveon and it looks mediocre

>>31995059
Leafeon, glaceon then umbreon in that order. Fairy guy is only good for round decks and not so much anywhere else.

>>31995059

that's because you only have one, round meme is raw strong

>>31995059
Sylveon sucks on its own, but have two more and two or three Wigglytuffs on the field and you have a ~50% chance of rollling a 150-180 damage Round.
I got to 2450 with 3 Sylveon, 2 Wiggly, and Ho-oh.

>>31995051
How is Trapinch on average?

I have two of him and is evolution but have never really used them at all.

>>31995082
He's a fun and decent little fucker. If you utilize his arena trap he can be useful. Without it I wouldn't use him. I dont usually evolve because arena trap is the main use for him unless i have the upper hand and do it for shits and giggles. Its good to use him against shuppet and ghastly if you put him the the corner of the samw side, you can trap them and if you level him up to lvl5, you completely get rid of his miss slice. 2star purple plus protect that is almost 50% of his wheel, that will make the opponent think about who he attacks with sometimes because they can just end up wasting turns.

He's a utility type mon, not a rusher or an attacker. Bring a switch plate for more arena trap shinanigans like in my pic.

>>31994949
If you have a Magmortar for it to evolve into, put them into Magmar. Fire Punch at 51 damage allows you to beat a Mew without plates.

Ouch. I've have time up losses after I've completed a move (with no adjacent enemies to combat, so that should have ended the turn), but never had one hit me that harshly. The game's clock is pretty sloppy.

How good is flygon? Should I evolve it from vibrava?

>>31997424
It was also really close
I was just one move ahead

>>31997511
Flygon's not bad, but I reccomend you evolve it froM Vibrava so it can not only turn into better Salamance, but also cancel Soar.

When evolving Vibrava I reccomend confusing a mon that has miss wedges between each of its attacks such as Yveltal, Chesnaught, and Fug. It's pretty crazy in concept but since Confuse ray is decently sized and 2 star, it works out better than you would think.

run both, i think it actually will let you make the opponent reroll twice if you do, just like having 2 reuniclus

>>31995051
Reminds me of when I beat a guy called "U Mad Bro?" that had a full Deoxys team. After I assured my victory by blocking his entry points and killing his D-Deoxys with Magikarp I made sure to put Magmortar next to his goal, Moltres behind the Magmortar and Latios on the other side. I didn't move in with Magmortar, didn't walk through with Moltres, I Hurdle Jump'd with Latios over my Magmortar just to fuck with him.

>>31999700
I'm just not going to bother. Last time it was just more rare metal.
Also I have like an hour left and I'd rather be playing anything else.

>>31999775
sorry to hear that. I feel like the special prize wheel has been rigged lately. I used to consistently get gems and booster tickets when I spun it myself. The last four times I spun, I got UC metal and ingots every time.

>>31999818

how do so many people have such a poor understanding of variance that they think like this

>>31999829
I understand variance. I took probability and statistic courses in college. Honestly, the prize wheels really do seem rigged.

I've been collecting data from the quest mode prize wheel. I played stage 2.10 100 times. Each time I won, I clicked the spin button. My results were

89 red
1 blue
10 purple

I then played the stage another 50 times. 25 of those times, I simply spun the wheel myself. The other 25 times, I positioned the center of the purple/blue half on the bottom of the screen.

The results:

Spin the wheel myself:
14 red
8 purple
3 blue

Position + spin button:
8 red
13 purple
4 blue


I need to get up to 100 times with each technique but I figured 25 each was okay for now. I need to do more trials with manual spin and position + spin but honestly, look at those results for just clicking the button and tell me there's nothing weird going on here.

Blue + purple takes up more than half of the wheel. I should not be landing on red 90% of the time when red is < 50% of the wheel. Something is not right.

>>31999937

its 50% reward but its only 5 energy

>>31999905
Damn I thought it was confirmation bias that was doing this for me lol

>>31999950
stage 2.10 theoretically has a higher chance of giving you a figure since there are purple and blue spaces and both give figures. It's a harder stage though so I guess that's a tradeoff

>>31999905

The better question is what should your opponent run

>>32001735
Mew

>>32001804
Really?
I've hardly ever been beaten by a mew

>>32001735
>>32001804
mew isn't always great against them
they can split it off and just do the 50 damage brain link, or just wait until mew rolls psychic and kill it through that
it has a 90% chance to land a white attack in its 3 spins, so mew has a really small chance of actually killing it (close to 5%)

having something that beats 120 damage is good (deoxys A is probably most reliable even with slip) and pray they don't get a 57% confuse
or something with a purple knockout like magmortar or lucario, and again pray they dont get the 57% confuse

running a metagross helps, but you're still gimping yourself by having a 1mp fig
basically they're still completely broken and have no right existing in this state

Is metagross any good?

>>32001892
he's basically the best 1mp mon, but unless he's cockblocking reuniclus/deoxys he's not good enough

>>32001849
it only has one roll that can kill Mew, Hyper Sonic will still kill through Confuse Ray. If they split off to do the 50 Brain Link then kill them with something else

>>32001892
>>32001897
he's the best goal blocker I have

>>32001987
reuniclus has a 22.5% chance to kill mew each fight (without even splitting), mew has a 5% chance to kill reuniclus

mew is not a good counter to reuniclus

actually you kind of can rush with metagross, just move your 3mp figure next to the opponent's goal in 2 turns and then switch, almost as good as a deoxis attack

>>32002743
if they've let you move to their goal in 2 turns then they probably let you move right on their goal as well so dont bother switching

shuppet keeps it's tier since even the Deos and Reunis can fall for WoW shenanigans and keep going ahead, while Latios can't do much against that white chunk (Latios was the one who scared others because of luster purge, even Yveltal, but the new meta just brushes it aside with raw power)

Latios+Latias user here. I can do well enough with the rest of my team and I mostly use them for intimidation and other things. Latios can get rid of Shuppets, S-Deoxys, Genesect, Greninja and other 3 MP things, and mostly anything really if you're lucky. Latias can let me win in one turn, if I get attacked or attack in the right place and get to fly over the other figure. It's a risky team but I'm going up and down between 2300 and 2500 so I'm fine with it.

But you can't ever expect 120. If someone has a 110 attack, you have to hit 150 or better; having 120 in your head as an expected value won't help you any.

My napkin math might be wrong, but I think how it works is
landing at least one fire spin: 56/96 ~ 58.33%
at least two fire spins: (56/96)*(56/96) ~ 34.03%
at least three fire spins: (56/96)*(56/96)*(56/96) ~ 19.85%
at least four fire spins: (56/96)*(56/96)*(56/96)*(56/96) ~ 11.58%
and so on.

So using those values and some subtraction, I roughly get:
0 fire spin: 42%
1 fire spin: 24%
2 fire spin: 14%
3 fire spin: 8%
4 fire spin: 5%
5 fire spin: 3%
6 fire spin: 2%
7 fire spin: 2%

If want want the median damage of a fire spin (way more useful than average), we just ignore the chance of not hitting a fire spin at all and just focus on the fire spin rolls, and the math is the same. So 50 damage has a 42% chance, 100 damage has 24% chance, 150 damage has a 14% chance, etc.

>>32007873
Bleh, messed up near the end. On the list, it should say, 7 or more fire spin: 2%

You can't directly buy particular figurines, no. Good luck spending money on gems to buy boosters to try and duplicate your luck, though!

>>31992250
>figures barely matter until you get 2300
Try winning a match in the 1900s or even 1700s these days with a crew of 1 and 2 move ground type pokes, commons and uncommons and one rare. You'll get a win here and there, because people are dumb and don't look at abilities of unfamiliar pokes, but generally your rating will sink.

>>32008512
False. Materials shop.

>>32008604
Very true. I was thinking specifically in the sense of spending money for the figure. A mistake, certainly.

And reuniclues is only 1,800 material, so 1,800 gems spent on boosters (36 singles, 18 doubles) would give enough material for one, certainly. So that's a maximum of $80 worth of gems that would need to be spent normally (or $62, if you consider the nearly expired Gem Boost event).

it is useful
you know that fire spin tends towards 100 more than it tends towards 150
its not complicated

the sum of an infinite geometric series is a great and fast way to eyeball an expected result for these types of moves

it doesnt matter at all if it wont hit 120, the entire point is to know where your result is PROBABLE to land.
saying that knowing the expected value tends towards 120 is useless is tantamount to saying "knowing that it was a 80% chance to land didnt help me because I didn't land on it"

>>32009485
It looks useful, sure. Now that I know the equation from earlier was based on a a geometric series, I sorta get the meaning of it (50 is a, probability to land the fire spin is r), though using them to work out probability was never something I learned, so I don't have a firm grasp of it.

But what we're disagreeing here is just the wording, that's all. Saying that the expected value _tends toward_ 120 is not the same thing as saying the expected value _is_ 120, or that 120 is how much to expect.

Meanwhile "a 80% chance to land" means exactly what it says on the tin. A four out of five chance. Yeah, it might miss, but you know that, because it isn't a 100% chance to land.

>>32010156
apologies for the wording then
expected value is the term used in probability theory, it doesn't necessarily mean an expected result

as a similar example the expected value of rolling a die a large enough number of times is 3.5, although you obviously would never land on that

can someone tell me why the fuck I haven't rolled 1 hour boxes since this orange booster shit came into the game
