I am having so much trouble with Battle Maison on X/Y. I've failed twice on Super Single already; once on 36th trainer and once on 43th.

Any critique for my team?

1. Kangaskhan - Kangaskhanite. Jolly nature. Return/Fake Out/Power-up Punch/Sucker Punch.

2. Talonflame - Sharp Beak. Adamant nature. Great Gale ability.
Brave Bird/Flare Blitz/U-Turn/Roost
Talonflame is mostly there to switch into a fighting type that Mega-Kangaskhan cannot handle.

3. Undecided at the moment. I used to run a very tanky and defensive Vaporeon with Toxic and Scald. But I realized having two Pokemon with weakness to Eletric is a bad idea and I have a lot of problems against fast Eletric Pokemon with Wild Charge/Thunder that can also outrun my Mega-Kangaskhan. I am currently considering:
- Aegislash. It's a ghost type and can fairly easily switch into a fighting move. Aegislash has no recovery move though.
- Clefable. Fairy type resists fighting which is a plus. Cosmic Power + Stored Power sounds decent on paper.
- Garchomp (with the +speed choice). Check Electric types with ease. Not sure about the 4x weakness against Ice though. Also it's not that fast and might run into other issues.


Stuff like the maison is always going to be a tad RNGish because they use moves you generally don't see like the 50/50 1hko stuff and after 25? they start countering your team. Generally super aggro is your best bet I've found to hit 50 wins.

Aegislash has good priority, and can blunt physical attackers. Pretty good choice.
Clefable, I love calm mind magic bounce clefable but set up mons past a certain point is going to cause you problems with stuff like Sheer Cold and the trainers having counters to your team.
Garchomp, I honestly don't know enough about garchomp to judge him for this kind of stuff but he's a solid pick so I'd expect him to do well if only because you know they'll bring an Ice move or type and that's an easy switch in for Aegislash.

I did super double's and I ran a Blaziken, Kangaskhan, Chansey and Rotom-W. Chansey was more last mon toxic stall hero a few times. Keep at it.

Should I craft 2x molten 1x sunfury 1x siphon soul and have a complete handlock... it's all my dust but would be complete.

What else could you craft? A lot of handlocks have been cutting 1 siphon.

I have 0 siphons right now :\

Other options would be
1x Ancient of Lore, 1x Force of Nature (to have 2 of each)
2x Prep for pretty much any rogue deck
I only have 1x Cabal Shadowpriest
Save up for any class legendary
2x Cogmaster and 2x muster for dragodin (muster for anything really)
Hobgoblins are really tempting too.

Rares I'd rather not spend dust on yet:
2x Goblin Blastmage for mech mage
2x Imp-losion
2x Kezan Mystic
1x Unstable

Feels like spending the dust on 2 classic neutral epics seems prudent enough for f2p collection.

Dragodin is really fun man - if those are the only cards you need for it, I'd recommend it.

I think a healthy relationship is not necessarily about finding common ground in things you enjoy, but coming to realize that I love this person so much, and even though I don't personally understand it, am willing to support him/her in their hobbies.

If you can find someone who, and this sounds strange, genuinely doesn't care what you do as long as you are happy - I personally believe this quality to be one that can lead to love. You should be able to look past all the oddities and strangeness of your significant other's hobbies, interests, and quirks. You can look beyond these elements because their happiness and love matters far more than what they spend their free time doing.

You should never be embarrassed by the things you love, nor should you have to drastically change who you are for a healthy relationship. A quality partner certainly requires change on your part, but it should be change you are OK with. Change you yourself can admit is better for the life you want to live.

Breaking up is never an easy thing, for either party. But it is a part of life. I don't think true love and commitment can be attained without some form of rejection. Similar to how meaningless life would be without death. Failed relationships are a valuable learning experience. I have had a decent amount of experience in my relatively short life thus far and each one has changed and brought me to be a better person. I understand puppy love knowing she was the one for me forever, I have had a terrible 2 year experience which taught me to learn how and when to break it off, and I have had a absolutely fantastic girlfriend who taught me what real love and how partners should treat and respect each other in a healthy relationship.

It's a matter of perspective and context of course, but turning to grief, while natural, can be a harmful experience. I think it only puts you on a path of lowered expectations. That is not to say you shouldn't spend a few moments in mournful reflection, but I prefer to treat moments like these as a time to learn.

What do you mean that life would be meaningless without death.
If I was immortal I'd go outside and acquire all jutsu but since I'll die anyway what's the point.

People (in general) learn to appreciate life itself because eventually you will die and will no longer be able to experience life. If everyone was immortal, the concept of living would be meaningless because there is no alternative.

^ Maybe meaningless was too strong a word, but all in all I think Soniv explained it well.

Nah, cuz it was all girls and it was more "this is a thing?" + jokes (I should call my ex and tell him he's in luck etc.). They tried to rope me in but I just made some get me outta here remarks.

@soniv I'm missing all the class legendaries except Jaraxxus and Van Cleef so it makes paladin decks sad.

You guys should read Borges' "The Immortal"

Starts on page 411-
https://posthegemony.files.wordpress.com/2013/02/borges_collected-fictions.pdf

There is nothing very remarkable about being immortal; with the exception of mankind,all creatures are immortal, for they know nothing of death. What is divine, terrible, and incomprehensible is to know oneself immortal.

Death (or reference to death) makes men precious and pathetic; their ghostliness is touching; any act they perform may be their last; there is no face that is not on the verge of blurring and fading away like the faces in a dream. Everything in the world of mortals has the value of the irrecoverable and contingent.

Among the Immortals, on the other hand, every act (every thought) is the echo of others that preceded it in the past, with no visible beginning, and the faithful presage of others that will repeat it in the future, advertiginem. There is nothing that is not as though lost between indefatigable mirrors. Nothing can occur but once, nothing is preciously in peril of being lost. The elegiac, the somber, the ceremonial are not modes the Immortals hold in reverence.

I wouldn't wana live forever. not even like my consciousness on another plane of existance. but i could go for thousands of years before i got bored i think.

mordek you stayed out of colleague's convo cause they were talking about it like it was a good thing? icky. I may have a dad bod but im aiming for a juicy dad bod still.


Same for me. In that time I can read all the books, play all the vidya, meet all kinds of awesome people, see us leave the Earth, and then way way further in the future have a massive rave as the sun wipes out the Earth from existence.


I'll see ya there buddy.

I will add on and say, and I have mentioned this before, that I am of the camp that would not want to be immortal. At the young age of 25 death is already too intriguing for me too ignore. But I can understand people who would want to be immortal.

yussss LLOT meet up at end of planet rave confirmed


Easy trap: we're really all Highlanders, and the party meet up is to confirm that there can only be one.

I think a healthy relationship is not necessarily about finding common ground in things you enjoy, but coming to realize that I love this person so much, and even though I don't personally understand it, am willing to support him/her in their hobbies.

If you can find someone who, and this sounds strange, genuinely doesn't care what you do as long as you are happy - I personally believe this quality to be one that can lead to love. You should be able to look past all the oddities and strangeness of your significant other's hobbies, interests, and quirks. You can look beyond these elements because their happiness and love matters far more than what they spend their free time doing.

You should never be embarrassed by the things you love, nor should you have to drastically change who you are for a healthy relationship. A quality partner certainly requires change on your part, but it should be change you are OK with. Change you yourself can admit is better for the life you want to live.

Breaking up is never an easy thing, for either party. But it is a part of life. I don't think true love and commitment can be attained without some form of rejection. Similar to how meaningless life would be without death. Failed relationships are a valuable learning experience. I have had a decent amount of experience in my relatively short life thus far and each one has changed and brought me to be a better person. I understand puppy love knowing she was the one for me forever, I have had a terrible 2 year experience which taught me to learn how and when to break it off, and I have had a absolutely fantastic girlfriend who taught me what real love and how partners should treat and respect each other in a healthy relationship.

It's a matter of perspective and context of course, but turning to grief, while natural, can be a harmful experience. I think it only puts you on a path of lowered expectations. That is not to say you shouldn't spend a few moments in mournful reflection, but I prefer to treat moments like these as a time to learn.

What do you mean that life would be meaningless without death.
If I was immortal I'd go outside and acquire all jutsu but since I'll die anyway what's the point.


People (in general) learn to appreciate life itself because eventually you will die and will no longer be able to experience life. If everyone was immortal, the concept of living would be meaningless because there is no alternative.

I feel like my current appreciation of life is unrelated to the fact that I'm dying, but maybe I'm just too basic to understand myself.

Yea i don't get it either. Immortality is sweet. Stop being such a pussy geez.


Well, an individual being immortal is wildly different than if death was not a concept or reality for everyone. If one person was immortal among mortals, then they could look around thinking "these poor shmucks". But if no one could die?

Idk, I honestly don't care that much. I'll see y'all at End of Earth Rave
