The Sweeper Pokemon – Competitive Pokémon Guide

The Sweeper is your powerhouse. It’s the job of the sweeper to hit, and hit hard. Of course with so many offensive powerhouses the question of what sort of sweeper to use is a tricky one.

Personally I would recommend one physical sweeper and one special sweeper. I tend to find that the best sweepers are double typed Pokémon that can get a same type attack boost on two different moves. For example Garchomp gets a boost to his dragon and ground type attacks. While this isn’t necessary I do find that it allows for the maximum offensive output.

You may also want to consider a Pokémon who is super effective against the most types. For example, fire and fighting have a very broad range of coverage, as do fighting and dark. A Pokémon such as Scrafty can hit nearly every thing effectively because of its great dual typing. Certain type combinations will be better than others.

Speed is another important factor. You ideally always want to go with the Pokémon that can hit first; remember how in the introduction I brought up that Salamence was widely outclassed by Garchomp? That was because while Salamence had the greater offensive power, it was out sped by Garchomp and though the difference wasn’t too great, it still meant Garchomp would have the advantage because it was still faster.

The Dragon type often makes for a great sweeper as while it is only super effective against its own type it’s attacks are so powerful. That coupled with the fact that dragon types usually have the highest stats of any Pokémon, and that they have great type coverage (being able to use fire, ground and water type attacks) that they nearly always hit hard.

Some sweepers I’d recommend besides the aforementioned Garchomp and Salamence are: Mega Charizard X and Y.

Mega Charizard X provides good physical attack with an immunity to being burned (meaning that attack stat is very hard to lower, as burn cuts your attack in half) and access to dragon dance and its ability tough claws means it will consistently do a lot of damage, but it still has a decent special attack which allows it to act as a mixed sweeper.

Mega Charizard Y is more powerful in terms of offense but not quite as versatile as Mega Charizard X. Mind you, it doesn’t need to be. With a sky-high special attack and the ability drought, Y-Zard is always in the sun giving it boosted fire attacks and a constant access to a ready charged solarbeam. That coupled with great speed allows it to hit rock and water types for super effective damage and will often one hit KO them.

However there is more to offense than damaging attacks. Next time I will break down the annoyer.

I'm a writer based somewhere in the UK, I like fiction, dinosaurs, martial arts, holding hands and long walks on the beach.

ReFantazio Takes a Different Approach to Romance, Setting Itself Apart from the Persona Games

Atlus’ highly anticipated RPG, Metaphor: ReFantazio, appears to incorporate familiar systems reminiscent of the developer’s acclaimed Persona series. The game features turn-based battles that heavily rely on exploiting enemy weaknesses. Additionally, players have the ability to summon warrior spirits during combat. However, the most significant aspect of this game, which will be discussed in this article, is the bonding system. Through this system, players can spend time with important characters and gain deeper insights into their personalities and stories.

In contrast to the Persona games, the bonding system ends at that point. Unfortunately, players will be unable to pursue romantic relationships with their beloved waifus, which may come as a disappointment to those who have developed strong feelings for Hulkenberg, the party’s charismatic red-haired elven knight.

According to Siliconera, the absence of romance came up during a recent question and answer session. Atlus emphasized the continued opportunity to develop meaningful relationships with your allies while also introducing additional narratives through substories. In addition, familiarizing yourself with the supporting characters will grant you access to new archetypes, which serve as the game’s character classes.

In the Persona games, romance is not obligatory; rather, it serves as a means to customize your playthrough. However, it is quite unexpected that Metaphor has chosen not to pursue such a venture, considering the significant amount of discussion it typically generates!

Were you anticipating any romantic elements in Metaphor? If you’re not satisfied with your pre-order, feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below.

It appears that many

are eagerly anticipating the launch of the highly anticipated PS5 exclusive, Stellar Blade. Shift Up, the developer, has shared a lengthy video showcasing the “secrets” found in the physical box of the game for PS5. From what we can gather, these secrets include a reversible cover/dust jacket and a download code for cosmetic items.

We must clarify that while we do appreciate the variant cover, it may be more appealing than the game’s standard art. However, it is not something we would typically classify as a “secret.”. However, what’s interesting is that Shift Up has confirmed through the comments section that this will be the case in all regions. Additionally, the visually striking action RPG will remain uncensored worldwide.

It’s refreshing to witness a developer going the extra mile for physical collectors, and it’s evident that the developer is determined to leave a favorable mark in the console realm. Stellar Blade is set to make its highly anticipated debut this Friday, April 26th, exclusively on the PS5.
