The Case of Angie’s Mamoswine

[Alice Bell]

So I’ve finally (playing on and off) made it to chapter 15 and upon playing the Diamond Route I noticed something incredibly odd; Angie’s Mamoswine is, for some reason, ungodly fast. I know its seed gives it a speed boost, but that still doesn’t account for my experiments. I didn’t do the exact math but I’m pretty certain it shouldn’t be able to outspeed a max speed jolly Cinderace, even with a speed boost.

 

and maybe I used the wrong seed, but even when I used the same seed it used, it STILL outsped me. I managed a win via crest Feraligatr (because I had to use a berry to soften the Earthquake on Cinderace, and that made HJK too RNG-heavy to rely on.

 

this chapter in general seems to be fond of rather bullshit fights what with Melia (won via Crest Bastiodon cheese) and that stupid training match against Ren…

What difficulty are you on?

[Alice Bell]

Normal, sorry. Not casual and not intense, whatever the base difficulty is. (Also annoyed my cap is still 85 and enemies are consistently throwing higher-than-85 mons at me)

I did the math, boosted mamoswine is faster
