There is such a lack of transparency in the way this game works with its core mechanics. It just feels like another strat that companies use to bleed money from there consumers. “Invested in items you thought were useful? Sorry bud! For a small fee you can buy the items that really matter.” 😑

Muscle band was one of the first items I've upgraded, simply because of the basic attack speed increase it provides. Besides that, extra damage on every basic attack (including boosted ones) is insane. After getting muscle band to level 20, I've tried to use wise glasses on level 13 on special attackers, but ditching muscle band is horrible for the DPS: on a substitute doll on practice mode, I've noticed a damage reduction of ~25% when replacing that muscle band (level 20) for wise glasses (level 13) on an special attacker, while spamming skills and basic attacks for 30 seconds. Even the level difference should not cause this enormous amount of extra damage. Spa held items are not worthy, unless you can afford to keep muscle band equipped as well.

Sub doll has tremendous hp. Not good to test damage or dps. The muscle band will do 5% hp (to like a 20k hp doll) to the doll and will skew your entire test.

@@shawnaw2 That is true: sorry for my mistake -- I've tried to retest it on rotom (as its HP and defenses would not interfere if attacked at the same timestamp on both cases -- with muscle band or wise glasses equipped -- on game, and it also cannot push me away when attacking), and the difference between using muscle band and wise glasses was very slim, and my wise glasses is still not on level 20 (which means it would probably be better on an special attacker, as the passive buff is still below its max value).

Does this mean SP items are still worth on Pikachu now? (Sorry I've been reading the comment above me for a blissful eternity now and all I got was that wise glasses could be better if it were on level with muscle band)

The only thing with atk weight, especially on Pikachu is even with buddy barrier, scoring isn't always easy since if you try to force scores even if you do it it can be hard to get out alive

Yeah I feel u about the special attack boosters, and u mentioned this actually close to when the game came out on stream, as another option the benefits u get to damage from energy amp is far greater, although it's only after the ultimate, it does create great potential in those moments, and one thing I consider too is it only takes one item slot, good video, as usual, I actually bought pika like 2 weeks ago, but I still haven't used him... But I can't help it... I like wat I like... See u later my friend

While I agree, I do like wise glasses just for that early game buff of electro ball. It has helped me chase down soooo many fleeing pokemon who flashed and that extra little bit of damage was the difference between a KO and not.

What is the damage increase with just muscle band (no atk weight)? Is it just the % damage on muscle band that is making the difference?
@cptk3916
3 жыл бұрын
The muscle band adds the most damage it would seem, since it deals 3% of the opponents HP as damage with every auto attack. I assume the 2 damage numbers (208 & 259) you see at 15:00 is 1 for the standard auto-attack damage you deal, and 1 for the extra muscle band damage. Ofcourse, Snorlax has a lot of HP, so it will be less on a Greninja, for example.

I just noticed your muscle band was on lv20 when u tested this out while your sp items were on 10, Im starting to feel worried about the nuembebebrbers Has anyone tested out whether basic attacks are still better over SP attacks on Pikachu with SP items on lv20 (or on lvl with muscle band)?
@barosz123

This analysis it somehow assumes you will end up scoring six times - which for Pikachu hardly ever happens, with how squishy he is. Muscle Band alone (lvl30) only boosts basic attack from 290 to 305 - an increase by 5% Wise Glasses (lvl 30) alone boost Electro Ball+ damage from 1869 to 2016 - an increase of 7,9%. Unfortunately I don't have the other items to check thoroughly, but I'm trying it out with Choice Specs (lvl12) and the first attack receives a significant boost: with both Wise Glasses and Choice Specs my Electro Ball + dealt 2403 dmg with the first attack. That being said, I agree that Pikachu's strength largely depends on his basic attacks, especially when farming, so investing in basic attacks may be viable. Maybe a combination with score shield, or a good lane tank/support could make it work?
