what is funbro

sounds like a new kind of bro-themed furby

with backwards baseball caps and nanchos and skateboards and stuff

It's this one Slowbro set that can stall your opponent for a couple thousand turns. I don't know exactly how it works.

It's Slowbro @ Leppa Berry with
- Block (to prevent a switch)
- Slack Off
- Recycle (for infinite PP when combined with Leppa Berry)
- Heal Pulse (to prevent opponents from dying)

and it's possibly the worst thing that could ever happen in Pokemon.

that sounds like fun

oooooooooohhh i get where the name comes from now

>:[ IT IS NOT FUN!!

Griefing! In Pokemon! Only true example of it! It should not be encouraged!!

(Also, Oblivious to prevent taunt)

Now I'm wondering what would happen when two people tried to use Funbro against each other at the same time (in terms of the players' reactions; the results of the match would be a given).

what is griefing

for that matter what is sapping? i've heard both of those terms in the context of multiplayer games but i have no idea what they mean

Griefing is... pretty much what the name implies. It's trolling with the intent of forcing the other player/friend/whatever to ragequit. Quite honestly, it is the basest example of human interaction, as are those who relish in it.

Dunno bout sapping.

griefing is doing stuff to other people for the intent purpose of causing grief
for instance dragging people into a battle that cannot possibly finish

griefing sounds like empty fulfillment of savage desires

sounds like it would be fun the first time you do it to somebody, but then it would get old real fast so you decide to just read a book instead of spending your time playing games

I had 80s movie night at my Dad's because I haven't seen the classics. We watched Ferris Beuller's Day Off and Breakfast Club. Breakfast club made me cry, not to mention I look a lot like Allison from it.

So what are you, a brain, an athlete, a basket case, a princess, or a criminal?

Also I learnt today that Pineapple is called an 'Anana' in many countries, and felt ashamed of the english language for not having both Banana and Anana as fruits.

I hadn't heard of Tween before to be honest. I admit, that explains the confusion I have heard about Twen...

And Pineapples are called Ananas in German (but Bananas are "Bananen"/Banana "Banane")

I have to admit, I can see how this could be annoying if it catches you on the wrong foot but on the other hand, it definitely won't stop a good attacker, will it? I mean, Slack Off heals half your HP per round if you use it each round, and for this too work you'll have to start with Block and Recycle every once in a while, right? It shouldn't be THAT hard to hit it for more then half its HP each round, right?

That slowbro is what any setup sweeper calls a free sweep.

That's the point though. It has to use block on a pokemon it can handle - which to be fair is a lot of Pokemon, slowbro is very bulky. So you have to switch immediately, if you don't then you've effectively lost the game, which is hardly fair. The real clincher is the fact that Slowbro is actually viable. Switching in something that makes Funbro useless could damage your chances in a proper game, and vice versa. Also, don't forget the Funbro user will be careful who they switch in against. It's advantage > funbro.

You haven't necessarily lost. It just becomes a test of patience instead of battling skill.

It is a pretty dick tactic though. Then again, I'm not sure it's even necessary; if it's ragequits you're after you can get plenty of those with a legitimate stall team.

I think the real problem is that Funbro's win condition is a ragequit. You're not playing to win, you're playing to infuriate the opponent into forfeiting. That strategy isn't competitive and should be banned.

so, today i had a long car ride and decided i would start IV-breeding noibat.

i had a 5-IV one in around three hours, and i'm proud of myself.

Prepare yourselves, the best Noivern ever to be named Gargan is coming.
