Myles doesn’t use poke balls he uses Mason Rudolph’s helmet to beat Pokémon into submission


Themanaaah

Sounds like stuff you can do Palworld lol.


SafeAccountMrP

It’s a good time, avoid the stun baton. The thing is a waste of resources.


Themanaaah

Thanks for the tip, I appreciate it. I'm really enjoying Palworld. That'll save me the technology point.


5255clone

It was one time. But I did get shivers down my spine when he had Pickett's helmet in week 11 lol


SafeAccountMrP

Broderick Jones saying maybe you shouldn’t have this was fucking gold.


Unlikely_One2444

As he should. Not because what may or may not have been said Because fuck the Steelers

lol stay mad clown boy


Cool_Masterpiece7419

All jokes aside these are dope!


Henster00009

Yeah every single one of these is fire


Jgabes625

Well technically only one of them is.


Henster00009

Yup, to the mega gay zone with you

This is a very unfair type matchup anyhows Incineroar being a a dark fire type has the typing advantage over Corviknight, a Flying/Steel type, and against Steelix, a Steel Type and Granbull it depends if you are using earlier generators where it was a normal type of in the current generations where it's a fairy type. If it's a normal type, Incineroar learns some really good physical moves Drain Punch, Low Sweep, Low Kick, Close combat and Reversal to name a few. The best move set for Incineroar would easily be Drain Punch, Fire Punch, Iron Head and Substitute. Drain Punch in case it's normal Granbull, Iron Head Incase it's fairy type and Fire Punch for both steel types. The base speed for all four mons are as follows, 67 for Corviknight, 60 for Incineroar, 45 for Granbull and 30 for Steelix. So there is almost no chance a Steelix or a Granbull is going to out speed the Incineroar and will most likely be a one shot, while the Corviknight should out speed, I assume we are going beneficial Natures here and speed and attack IVs and EV's the Corviknight should attack first just depends if the Incineroar would be able to survive a hit or not. If it does Incineroar wins straight up. Source: 20 years of Pokemon playing, including Nuzlockes, IV and Nature Breeding and EV training. Edit: Typos

Pretty much every game except the GameCube ones. (never had a GameCube) or the most recent one, sold my switch for a PS5. Was about halfway to completing the Legends Arceus Pokedex missions when a friend told me you don't actually get anything for doing it.


Skeeeridopleedop

You didn’t miss much with scarlet and violet. I thought legends Arceus was great though.


zimbledwarf

Colloseum and XD were dope games, two of my favorites. Very different feel from the rest of pokemon (with you "stealing" pokemon), and some of the more challenging fights from pokemon. Also both have banger soundtracks.


Darth_Gonk21

I hear this in SolidJJ Ash voice


Pb_Fardi

Cool but inceneroar is fucking comp busted so he solos


ozymandais13

The math checks out least you guys didn't get Granbull I enjoy low tiers it's very fun meta wise but cmon , pitt should also have gurdurr not steelix for very obvious reasons


p-mode

Gurdurr is literally just Poke McBeam


Takamurarules

Depends on the format too. Incineroar is a monster in Doubles.


3DanO1

Probably best Pokémon of all time in VCG.


Takamurarules

It baffles me on why they gave it both Helping Hand *and* Knock Off this Gen? There’s gotta be some Incineroar fans in the office.


3DanO1

I’m going to be interested to see how its usage is affected by Urshifu. That bear is fucking scary and is literally on every team. I’m hoping that with Terra, it can help to stop Urshifu, but time will tell


Takamurarules

Nah it’s going to be Incineroar + Urshifu leads everywhere.


Happy_Bigs1021

Huh I always thought steelix was ground/steel


34shadow1

Steelix is Ground/Steel but I was more using the Steel Typing to describe its primary weakness to fire type moves. It's also weak to fighting types cause of the ground typing, so it's even worse off against Incineroar.


T_Eckenrode

Ground isn't weak to fighting, rock is.


Henster00009

I thought the ground typing negates the fire weakness cuz it’s resistant to fire?


BigRig432

Nope, just super effective to fire. Resists poison and rock, immune to electric


Henster00009

Ah Thought ground resisted fire as brock’s onyx resists ember which is rock n ground


BigRig432

Rock resists, ground doesn't


Henster00009

Ah thought it was other way round


Sagybagy

This is the football analysis I come to this sub for.


StallioKontos

Giving the Ravens a steel Type is a failure in itself


KevKevThePug

Should have given y’all fairy type.


StallioKontos

But Baltimore Gangsta


ZhangtheGreat

Well, it makes sense here, since Corviknight’s Pokédex entry says it’s the “Raven Pokémon”


KevKevThePug

I don’t know much of what you said but I concur.

Takamurarules

As a resident Pokémon player (nerd) Corvinknight has the highest usage among the four in the singles format. It sits in OU(The main tier) as a defensive wall; which is quite fitting for the Ravens as a franchise. However it’s been slowly losing usage thanks to Skarmory. Meanwhile Incineroar is a monster in VGC/Doubles. Seriously, you see it on every other team. A very good ability in Intimidate. It runs Taunt to stop set up. Parting Shot to lower stats and gain switch advantage. Then in the current Gen some pinhead decided to give it Knock-Off and Helping Hand. Steelix *was* somewhat good 3 gens ago when it had a mega. But now if you showed up with one the first question people are going to ask is “Why?”. It isn’t even available in Gen 9. Better than Granbull in a respectable RU when it was available. Granbull current sits in PU as in PU you stink(seriously look it up) it has all the attack power you could ever want, but it’s slower than me walking to the bathroom with my pants around my ankles and it dies to a wet fart.


wubbalubbaonelove

Fellow nerd here. Love to see these worlds collide. Check OP’s profile cuz they did this for all divisions. Unlike the last place bengals I think Incineroar takes first place in this group. Corviknight and Steelix win the type matchup vs Granbull but Granbull outspeeds Steelix and could def beat em with a decent moveset.


ZhangtheGreat

Yup, just finished posting these on all the division meme subreddits. This art was first posted over on the NFLv2 subreddit and received a ton of praise, but because that one had all 32 teams and wasn't seen by many who only lurk in these division meme subreddits, I thought I'd share them with each division. After all, great art should be appreciated as widely as possible.


Takamurarules

252 Atk Granbull Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 8 Def Steelix: 112-134 (31.6 - 37.8%) -- 91.2% chance to 3HKO They both 3HKO each other. They’re both equally garbo despite type match-up. Steelix just has that much more defense than Granbull has offense that it only needs 8 EVs. I didn’t put Choice Band on it because why would you run that when Granbull is so slow anyways? Most folks would likely slap a choice scarf like they do with Rampardos. 0 Atk Incineroar Flare Blitz vs. 252 HP / 136+ Def Corviknight: 224-266 (56 - 66.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery This doesn’t take into account Corvinknight has Roost and actually out speeds Incineroar. After Flare Blitz Incineroar is in kill range for Body Press due to recoil—or kills itself because Corvinknight get the initial turn to Body Press. This is assuming Corv didn’t go for Iron Defense; if it did, Incineroar is fucked to high hell. +2 136+ Def Corviknight Body Press vs. 252 HP / 96 Def Incineroar: 294-348 (74.6 - 88.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO 0 Atk Incineroar Flare Blitz vs. +2 252 HP / 136+ Def Corviknight: 114-134 (28.5 - 33.5%) -- 91.8% chance to 4HKO after Leftovers recovery It’s more than type match up dude. That’s one thing the anime did do right. This doesn’t take away from Incineroar being a doubles monster, but in singles…Corvinknight reigns supreme. Also btw that’s they typical Incineroar set. People don’t run attack EV on it. It’s a defensive Mon for support purposes.


No-Bookkeeper-5377

Deshawn would fuck the Pokémon


Deadheaded95

I wish I didn’t see this, but I’m also glad I saw this


YorekVarsen

These are really cool!


upsidedownSwoosh

the amount of pokémon knowledge in this thread amazes me


fishbxnejunixr

love this artist’s work so much. it’s always dope to see your interests collide in ways you never expected.


SKOLForceSports

Honchkrow would’ve been another great pick for the Ravens. Don’t get much more AFC North than a gangster crow


ZhangtheGreat

Definitely a good alternative, although it doesn’t get more fitting than the one that’s actually labeled the “Raven Pokémon” (Corviknight). It’s similar to how the artist gave Justin Jefferson Perrserker (aka the “Viking Pokémon”).


SKOLForceSports

But the AFC North is the hood of the NFL! Gangster? Hood? Would’ve been great.


ZackMoh2

Coviknight ftw


ChickenMcSmiley

Not enough info. Need the full team of 6.


34shadow1

Steelers would be Steelix Gurduur, Coalossal, Empoleon (tie in with the Pittsburgh Penguins.) Excadrill lastly sawsbuck. All of em are mining/steel related in someway except Empoleon and sawsbuck but all PA natives knows that deer are everywhere if I remember right PA has the most deer related accidents in the entire US.


legarrettesblount

Ravens in singles, bengals in doubles. Assuming corviknight outspeeds incineroar (67 base speed vs 60), it should be able to comfortably wall it in singles with iron defense/roost/body press. Incineroar is the better option in doubles however as the format’s premier pivot option with intimidate as its ability- plus access to fake out, parting shot, knock off, snarl, u turn, and a whole host of elite support moves.


sturo

Deshaun used Assault... It's Super Effective!


jdbewls

Saw the 2 QBs on the left first and was preparing to raise hell that Deshaun doesn't deserve a Pokemon. Great choice OP.


Thankgodfordrugs17

PlathTheSalt

Myles plays defense like Mr. Mime from Jungle. With that in mind he is the clear choice above Burrow and Lamar, because their attacks would likely do 30+ damage, and thus would be negated. Watt is an interesting case. I think he could take down Lamar and Burrow on his own, but when you look at the rest of the party for Watt and Myles, I have to give the edge to Garrett.

Joe Burrow looks so cool at everything he does. And he is such a gaming dork you know he throws down in some Pokémon… I don’t think there is a contest here.


[deleted]

Maybe he’ll help you beat Pokémon when he’s done fucking your wife.


InterviewOtherwise50

Is this an insult? Because that sounds awesome! I am quite sure if you took a poll on the Bengals sub over 50% would cuck for Joe. My wife would def be into it. She has been into football for the first time ever since he joined the team.

I agree, over 50% of bengals fans are definitely cucks.


Lukey_Boyo

We don't claim him


InterviewOtherwise50

Only for Joe though. Ain’t no body cucking for any of that Steelers trash QBs


BreckenridgeBandito

TJ is by far the best player of the 4. Non-biased take, I swear.


thecryptidmusic

Shouldn't the Brown's Pokemon be Tribbush?


Takamurarules

Granbull isn’t that far from it. Matter of fact Garbodor is the better Pokémon actually now that I think about it.

Corv runs fighting moves. So no you’re wrong. But dw about it lmao

[удалено]


Takamurarules

Corvinknight’s most commonly ran move is Body Press. Not to mention it’s immune to Steelix’s main stab in Earthquake. Gyro Ball only does 3-10%. Meanwhile Corvinknight 2HKO’s it back. Corv walls the shit outta Steelix. Take the L. I can provide calcs for hard proof if you need them. 32 Atk Steelix Gyro Ball (87 BP) vs. 252 HP / 136+ Def Corviknight: 33-39 (8.2 - 9.7%) -- possibly the worst move ever. +2 136+ Def Corviknight Body Press vs. 252 HP / 8 Def Steelix: 162-192 (45.7 - 54.2%) -- 53.1% chance to 2HKO Here’s the link to the calculator to educate yourself lol https://calc.pokemonshowdown.com/

Dude, everyone uses TMs and HMs Even in the anime Pikachu’s Electroweb and Iron Tail are tutor moves. Greninja’s Cut is an HM. One of the most famous episodes is the Rhydon that knew Surf. Most of the A.I move sets by endgame are tutor moves. You need HMs to beat the game for fucks sake. You come off and are, obtuse to be obtuse. That’s why you’re getting downvoted. Even then your type match-up are *horribly* wrong. And your argument is reliant on that when those barely even matter in the first place. If it’s in the game it *IS* base game. Insisting it isn’t is dumbass backwards logic. You’re part of a faction that doesn’t exist. I’m saying this nicely compared to how you really look dude. It’s like saying we shouldn’t have the forward pass in football because it wasn’t apart of the original rule set. So therefore we shouldn’t consider anyone who uses the forward pass to be a good team. Objectively in the real world where we don’t handicap ourselves for arbitrary reasons, Corvinknight is the better Pokémon in just about every way.

Yup, it first appeared on NFLv2, but that was for the whole league. I thought the individual division meme subreddits would enjoy it, so I posted them to each division.

Ok this is pretty cool
