KaynineXL Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 (edited) Did anyone notice I had the Indian avatar on Showdown to represent my boy @NikhilR? Edit: For what its worth, this is a joke. Nik didn't coach me(even though you'd have said he did if I won anyway). He would have done a much better job than me, and I don't want my failure looking bad on him.

To be fair, the high profile misses stick out a lot more than the times where the extra damage matters, I'd argue the latter is more common than the former buy I don't have data or anything to back it up Link to comment

However, I would argue that better players do not need to rely on high risk moves to break through because they can secure wins with better teambuilding that rely less on rng ^^ Link to comment

Looking at it the other way, if you're fighting someone using low acc moves and you're not, and say they don't miss any then you're at a fairly substantial disadvantage and you're not even the one doing the risking.

A lot of stuff in DPP is super bulky, so moves like Surf / Flamethrower just aren't strong enough unless you equip those pokes with orb. Hydro Pump / Fire Blast are super necessary to get those required 2hkos. It's a lot better to have a chance to kill something rather than having no chance at all.
