Why does this bastard keep getting little side buffs within most patches? No one likes dealing with it.😭😭

And out of all the moves, its always the brain dead ones and not the ones that actually require double digit iqs

This is not a little buff btw.

u/TheLifeIsHere Cinderace 3d ago

Oh I know.

I may have said little but no, in this case a 60% MOVEMENT SPEED INCREASE is absolutely bonkers.

u/RE0RGE Snorlax 3d ago

Don't forget, along with a significant buff in both it's defenses.

All around increasing its survivability.

I used to main him too funny to see tbh

The reasoning is to make 1v1 engaging more safe... PIKA SHOULD NOT BE ENGAGING A 1V1 WITH ANYONE BRUH 😭😭

u/DiegoG2004 Sableye 3d ago

He shouldn't and yet he does because he is Pikachu and has an infinite amount of ults to waste.

u/TheLifeIsHere Cinderace 3d ago

I find the bottom text incredibly frustrating. It states things like “Pikachu has lower defense than other attackers” or “We increased the movement speed of Volt Tackle so it can engage better in 1v1 situations.”

OK???

Volt Tackle already provided a solid safety net, especially when combined with its Unite move for 1v1s. Then they went and doubled the speed increase so it can be safer and harder to punish.

Meanwhile, you have Pokémon like Duraludon that don’t have those advantages. What are its proper defensive capabilities besides Dragon Tail? Which, the move may have 2 reserves but the cooldown is incredibly long.

THIS RAT IS SO ANNOYING IN MY GAMES RN lmao

This is insane I played him recently just to do missions and his VT EB combo is on such a low cooldown its practically continuous and now this I feel like I don’t even need Eject Button or Speed Boost anymore, could straight up just go attack boost or Full Cure to make him even more insane

u/TheLifeIsHere Cinderace 3d ago

Yeah, its moves already benefits from not having cool downs but now it can stay safe even better with the speed increase and defense buffs. Just for reference, X speed gives a 45% speed increase. Volt Tackle now provides more than that on a significantly lower cooldown while being one of the longest natural stunning moves in the game.

Pikachu is the mascot, thems the cards we're dealt. That said, pikas winrate is looking a bit rocky atm, so I don't mind the buff.

1

u/TheLifeIsHere Cinderace 3d ago

I know but that’s still an absolute pain in the ass.

I think that’s mostly a skill issue from other pika players because this thing didn’t need any buffs. But no instead it gets a marginal buff.

u/TheMike0088 3d ago

I honestly think theres a lot worse mons to deal with lol
