Probably, yeah

---

I'm proud I was able to get to Masters using just Asbol. Clearly he's not as good as people first thought =p

---

When is the speedsters buff?

---

Greninja interesting.

---

Doing a lot of damage from ranged is very powerful.

---

I thought Greninja's strength was from chaining Surf resets?

I'm rubbish at doing it though, so I prefer using Shurikens. Sniping from afar is still fun.

---

A Greninja that knows how to Surf reset chain can steamroll a team. He's also incredibly hard to pin down because of Smokescreen. But keep in mind that that list is the Top 100 players - other people (including everyone in this topic) aren't going to be as consistent.

---

They are also all 5 stacked, that's the biggest difference.

---

There's also this ranking by what is (apparently) the best team in Japan

https://mobile.twitter.com/bocky_sub/status/1424261363925327878

In the wise words of google translate:

Master's highest band after Appde (1600) ) Rank It is a tier table and a short comment made by continuing to rotate.
After all, this game is a thunder game, and Pokemon that can have influence until the end of the game will be highly evaluated.

Pukurin goes from the weakest to the strongest
Greninja is the rear pot of Aceburn

---

good to know I wasn't wrong in thinking Wigglytuff was a monster

In the wise words of google translate:

Interesting that it translated Greninja right but not Wigglytuff, Zapdos, or Cinderace

---

Zapdoss name is literally the word Thunder so that one will probably never translate from a machine translation correctly

What setup are they using for Venusaur to consider it that good?

---

I assume Buddy Barrier, Focus Band, Wise Glasses, Sludge Bomb, Solar Beam. The damage buffs were significant.

---

Google translate says they think Venusaur is good for stuffing Lucario and Greninja, and I think it says something about being strong in the first Drednaw fight but I can't quite make sense of that part

---

It actually says Venusaur struggles with aggressive characters like Lucario or Greninja

the rest says it's really good for the first Drednaw fight and as long as your positioning is good it's a real menace post-level 7

---

Lol thats Google translate for you

---

Poor Absol

---

But I also agree that Absol is weak at the time of Thunder. The softness of his body is very much a negative :(

---

Who are you, Garchomp?

---

What's so good about Wigglytuff?

---

Gets very tanky in the late game. Sing is very good CC, and pro teams adore CC. She's not going to be quite as strong in solo queue (a.k.a. going it alone) but she's way better than when the game came out.

I want mah Blastoise tho

---

Wtf, where the fuck is Blastoise??

---

@VeryInsane @LiquidOshawott I had a dream that Dunsparce was added to Pokemon Unite

---

for real though how is Blastoise not ready to go

Squirtle and Wartortle show up in tutorials, youd think he would have been one of the earlier characters implemented into the game.

That would be cool even if I admittedly have no interest in this game (Sorry everyone I got tagged as such it just kinda struck me as a MOBA and I didnt really like any except for HOTS for a little bit)

---

https://unite.pokemon.com/en-us/news/pokemon-unite-patch-8-16/

Upcoming patch notes! Any update that buffs Crustle is a good one

---

Eh, these seem pretty small and negligent. Really don't expect any changes to the current meta with those changes.

---

Holy piss, Water Shuriken buffs. I already love that move as is.

---

Snorlax nerfs are pretty important. So is the nerf to Greninja's Smokescreen. Not sure why they nerfed Slowbro though, he was hardly oppressive.

---

Snorlax yeah, but Lucario wasn't touched at all for god knows why.

Like... why can he one shot people at level 4/5 with his combo and be as tanky as a truck and be able to do that combo every 2 seconds?

?????

---

I feel like a lot of it is just based around pickrates. A lot of people pick Slowbro, so Slowbro gets nerfed.

It's the same as the move buffs and nerfs. If the majority of people are picking Move A over Move B then Move A gets nerfs or Move B gets buffs or both.

---

Lucario might be one of those cases where he feels difficult to fight but his win rate numbers aren't particularly good. That happens a lot in Mobas. We'll never know for sure though.

---

Is his winrate really that bad? I feel like a team with Lucario vs a team that doesn't have one is at a SEVERE disadvantage.

---

Well like I said, we can't actually tell. I'm just going off of LoL knowledge where highly sought-after picks had bad win rates all the time.

This game is a lot simpler to figure out than LoL though, so I trust player perception more. Which is why Lucario not being nerfed is kind of surprising. Either he's not quite as strong as assumed, or the devs don't want to shake things up too much in one patch.

---

Eject Button
Stat Decreases

wonder what this means

---

Maybe distance shortened?

---

According to the Japanese patch notes, they're adding a brief period of invincibility when you respawn. Also making Eject button's cooldown longer

also has anyone else had a glitch with Cramorant where his auto-attack stops working? He looks like a cat trying to cough up a hairball

Lol saw this coming a mile away.

It's intended, there's a 0.1% chance for Cramorant to get something stuck in his throat when he attacks.

---

Is that a joke or are you referencing his powered up auto attack? <_<

---

Who knows :o

---

Auroma Park is fucking trash. That is all.

---

I think I'm at the point where I write off a game if I get an autolock Absol. He might be the worst Pokemon right now.

---

Hey! I have average 140 score per game to Masters with him :x

---

I had a game earlier today where I thought the Absol on both teams was like a bot or something they were acting so weird and erratic.

---

I am so fucking tired of dumb motherfuckers. I ping for my team to get the second Drednaw (first one died kinda late so it was probably 3:45-4:00 left on the clock) and for some reason all of them decided that they should group up for Zapdos already????? And started "arguing" via ping against me. I was not strong enough to solo Drednaw without getting jumped so I left it alone. We did end up winning Zapdos, but instead of going back to the home goal after scoring they all decided to run around and let the other team backdoor 300 points. I actually cheered for my opponents when they won.

---

This game is finally allowing me to do something I've always dreamed of: Punching Blissey in the face.
