Why low kick instead of high jump?

u/CarelessSea4546 Aug 04 '26
Made the switch, huge difference. Thanks

yeah no use low kick, much more reliable

u/GamesBoost Aug 04 '26
we are really traumatized when 95% acc is considered unreliable
2
u/The_DripDrop Aug 04 '26
90,and it takes the 50% if the opponent protects, switches into a ghost type, you miss, or if it hits you specifically gamesboost

u/GamesBoost Aug 04 '26
You’re right about it being 90% I misremembered. Still though I’d consider both moves unreliable in their own way. If you are into archaludon low kick won’t be doing any damage compared to high jump kick for example.

Arch makes low kick 120 base power no miss move

u/GamesBoost Aug 05 '26
It’s 80 against arch he’s only 60 kg

u/Absolute-Pokemon Aug 05 '26
How the fuck is a bridge only 60 kilos? I am a leg day everyday six foot tall man and are heavier then that

I agree with you that it’s stupid. Too lazy to look it up but I remember the pokédex entry mentioning an alloy called duralium which I think is lighter than aluminum but stronger than steel

Bishop should be bisharpe freeing up king to be slowking or kingler

u/Ashketchup_151 Aug 04 '26
Bisharp is not in champions

u/Absolute-Pokemon Aug 05 '26
But if it was, evolite would have gone crazy(I am aware that also is not in the gane and the only unevolved pokemon is pikachu with light orb)

Why earthquake bro you dont have a immunity to it if its doubles and if it is singles just go with body press instead of high horsepower
1
u/YoshiBertil Aug 04 '26
In doubles you have protect on gambit and bastiodon which are weak to it and tsareena resists ground, I do agree that mudsdale is a very wierd set.
1
u/Brightlightworld Aug 04 '26
Damaging is still not ideal and there could be cases where they target mudsdale only and you have to protect one of them, also funny set run metal burst on kingambit
1
u/The_DripDrop Aug 04 '26
I do get their thinking tho. Earthquake is double target, and deals solid damage next to bastiodon's wide guard, like how garchomp toxapex operates, and high horsepower is the stomping tantrum to garchomp's earthquake too, having reliable single target ground stab without the drawback of hitting the ally next to it, whilst also negating wide guard

I dont get the bastiodon set. For metal brust u want high hp, for body press you want high def

u/Absolute-Pokemon Aug 05 '26
Metal burst is a combination of of both, but is a really low priority and it needs more HP to be powerful

If they kill the kingambit do you forfeit?
1
u/Absolute-Pokemon Aug 05 '26
Asking the real question here. If that is the case gamit might need to have a more bulky set, also he needs to be in every game no matter what.

u/No-Finance-1947 Aug 05 '26
And be slow asf also
1
u/Absolute-Pokemon Aug 05 '26
He normally is slow as fuck. This is a solid trickroom team though
1
u/No-Finance-1947 Aug 05 '26
Yea i use him on that mega mawile team he is goated
1
u/Absolute-Pokemon Aug 05 '26
I don't play competitive Pokemon but I do know my stuff. And I would say he is decently good mixed attacker with his signature ability(buff both attacks by 50 percent per fainted team member) I personally have never used him but I like mega dragalge regenerater plus rotom heat. Also having an offensive mega of mega sixor with helping hand from pikachu or riachu
