Yeah that's not it boss. Sorry. Sometimes you lose a few coin flips in a row. There's nothing suss about it, just funny.

@@Alfindeol whatever helps you sleep at night👍

Usually noon to 3 or 4pm us Pacific time! Twitch.tv/alfindeol/schedule

I lost at lot of CMPs over the course of the day 😅

That’s what CMP is. Both Pokemon had the same Attack stat.

@@sheepinatorz5311 I lost a lot of coin flips. When tied, it's random. But streaks happen. I'll take the trade off my Moonblasts hitting on way more than 10% for a few lost CMPs

But how? His opponents exca wasn't best buddied... or at least I couldn't see the ribbon in the video. They are both 3667 alf with the ribbon and opponent without. My maxxed BB exca is 3691 when he's my buddy. Mines 15-14-14

@@sheepinatorz5311 well if its a tie on attack the next tie breaker should be hp and defense not a coin flip where a 100% florgess loses CMP 2 times in a row to a non 100%. I’ll just add it to the list of reasons this game sucks/makes no sense

Now? We broke the first major GBL exploit in this channel in February of 2020 😅 GBL is probably at its least cheater-filled at this point in it's 4 year life span.

I'll chug a glass of milk in your honor!

It's from the University of Phoenix.

Good thing it's not called Alolan Marowank

Depending on when you use your charge moves, opposing Pokemon may get to use additional fast move. So, for example of I use my charge move on the same turn you use your fast move, you'll get that entire move during the charge move sequence. It becomes very important when facing things with moves like Incinetate to avoid giving them an entire move (and the damage/energy that comes with it) just because you mistimed your move.

If I had a dollar for every time someone tells me this and I forget hahahaha

@@Alfindeol never punished 😎

It's played, about the same level of broken since day 1. It's had better and worse versions, but at this point, I feel like it just is what it is... have to embrace it or go mad.

Yeah, in the moment I think my brain failed me. Chat always gets on my case about the fact the moves are now identical except for energy and I can't get it through my thick skull hahaha.

@@Alfindeol yeah I panic press discharge a lot too 😅

They did not originate there, no. Just one of the more popular usages in the last hundred years or so.

I haven't played my maximum sets in a week since 2021 🤣

@@Alfindeol OH dang lol why?

@vawlkin1644 fatigue maybe? I've been doing this since 2020, I just don't need to pay every game every day anymore haha

@Alfindeol Fair enough, Well I enjoy the content! I always click and watch your vids when they pop up.

I would say it's because they are killing this game. I used to play every set every day. Since the biome update I've found it hard to even play a couple sets. Losing 6 to 7 fast moves a game makes it pretty tough to have fun when you lose to stuttering and lag

Yes every other utuber does that but he dont

Generally, the reason we don't put IVs on screen is everything is recorded live and changing the overlay every time I switch a Pokemon on the stream is impractical. I'd also argue that it's, largely, irrelevant. My IVs are, typically average to bad. In this team, for example, the Ferg is 6/15/14, the Typhlosion is 5/13/15 and the Venusaur is 13/13/15. Nothing to write home about and largely irrelevant for the battles. My general perspective on IVs is that folks spend WAY too much time worrying about them and I don't really want to feed into that further.

@@Alfindeol honestly that's a really helpful reply, so many people get hung up on IVs and stuff that I find myself getting bumbed if I don't get a good one. I caught a shiny swampert in the wild today that was 5/11/11 and I'm just now getting my ultra league team to be somewhat useable and this would be a really good fit. It sounds like I can happily use that swampert now, thanks man I've been enjoying all the content lately!

@kammerer396 absolutely! In fact, you'll be able to play the mirror knowing that most of the time, you'll win charge move ties since you have more attack than most of the more "optimal" Swamperts out there.

It certainly occupies a unique space with it's typing!

?

And now?

@@Django84 still

Hate the game stinks enough that we get gift games, happy to get them on occasion still.

You're probably right. I haven't actually run Crunch and I'm realizing I had mentally shortcutted it to be the same energy when it was not.

What Pokemon?

Maybe it's the only move the Pokemon has?

It is and it's incredible the second, third and fourth time you watch it 🤣
