How to Get Under 25 Percent with Pokémon Substitutes

How to Get Under 25 Percent with Pokémon Substitutes

Hey there buddy! So, you wanna have fun with Pokémon? Like, putting your skills to the test while making everyone say “What the heck?” That’s where substitutes come in. But wait, don’t just put any ol’ Pokémon in there like it’s a couch cushion you accidentally sat on. We are gonna be smart about how we use them so we can get under 25 percent, and maybe hit that sweet spot of confusion! Let’s find out how to do this without turning into a total goofball—too much anyway.

Step one: Pick a Pokémon that looks boring

Okay, like… start by picking a Pokemon that looks really lame. You know the ones that look like they just got outta bed and forgot to comb their hair? The ones you pass by in the game and think “Why is this even here?” It could be a Magikarp or something. Just make sure your friends smirk at it first!

Step two: Teach it weird moves

You can’t just leave it all dull and lifeless tho! Give it moves that make no sense. Imagine Pikachu learning an ancient dance move called “Sway of Confusion”. What even is that? Opponents will be scratching their heads saying “Did I miss the memo about dancing Pokémon?”

Step three: Enter the battle!

Here comes the juicy part! When you step into battle, act all confident. Like you’re walking in with your head held high and sunglasses on even if it’s raining outside. Put your lame-o Pokémon out first and let them lead the charge. Just remember, it’s supposed to look silly—not like you actually know what you’re doing!

Step four: Use substitutes liberally

Now comes the fun part—making substitutes! Just toss them around like they’re free samples at Costco. And when I say toss, I mean release them like confetti at a party. Your opponent will see these copies thinking they’re facing an army but really it’s just a bunch of goofy decoys standing around looking confused.

Step five: Play dumb!

When opponents attack your substitutes, pretend to feel bad for them! It’s super funny—like laughing at someone who tripped on nothing or mistaking a tree for their mom’s car. They’ll be so confused as to why you’re grinning while they struggle against something that isn’t even real!

Step six: Mix up your strategy

But wait! Don’t stick too close to logic… throw some twists in there. Use quick moves then switch up with slower ones just to mess with your opponent’s mind. It doesn’t have to make sense; it just has to leave ’em wondering if they stepped into a circus instead of a battle.

Step seven: Celebrate when things go wrong

Finally, don’t forget this important step—when stuff goes totally sideways and doesn’t work out half as well as planned? Celebrate anyway! Do a little dance like nobody’s watching (but secretly hope everyone IS watching!). Jump around saying “That was totally meant to happen!” And laugh until you cry because hey, that’s what makes everything worth it right?
