Explaination: That is a Pokemon named Zubat, Using an attack called Supersonic which has a 55% chance of confusing the defending Pokemon.

Never felt like 55% though....

100% chance if you're fighting one, 0% chance if they're your pokemon

Mastens@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 3y

Which they split the diff and call 55% in the strat guide to give you misguided hope. šŸ˜”

Just like my luck IRL! :’)

squiblet@kbin.social · 5 pts · 3y

thank you! I think it confused me somehow

MonkderZweite@feddit.ch · 3 pts · 3y

And what are the glowing rings for? Without them, chance for evade would decrease drastically.

What's confusing about a bat blowing smoke rings?

Ok. I guess I am confused.

In Pokemon, the move supersonic confuses your opponent. However, it only has a 55% chance of hitting successfully. This Zubat is using supersonic on you. Are you unscathed?!

I was starting to think this was one of those memes that don't make sense and the joke is that it doesn't make sense.

SonicBlue03@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 3y (1 reply)

No but this didn't scathe me further.

Thanks for the explanation.

Bruh I’m so scathed rn, frfr

Are you being serious or making a joke?

In case you're being serious, that is the pokƩmon Zubat, and it is using the move Confusion, which has a chance of afflicting the opponent pokƩmon with a Confused status effect.

More like when I use it, it never works, but when a wild Pokemon uses it, it hits every. single. fucking. time!

snor10@lemm.ee · 7 pts · 3y

snor10 is confused!

snor10 used POST!

It hurt itself in its confusion!

sulungskwa@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 3y

Well I looked at the meme, and my first thought was "I'm confused" because I didn't get it. So I guess I'm one of the people that were confused.

foofiepie@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 3y

Zubatta believe it.

Norgur@kbin.social · 5 pts · 3y

Now I hurt myself out of confusion again! Think before you post dangerous stuff like that, will you?!

UrPartnerInCrime@sh.itjust.works · 5 pts · 3y

I mean I get whats happening in the zubat photo, but I'm still confused as to why this is a thing. So, yeah....

usernameIsTaken123445@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 3y

It’s super effective!

chinpokomon@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y

I think it's closer to 75% (75.25% precisely). 55% because of the attack and 55% trying to figure out what the picture is. Stacking those stats, of those who weren't confused at first, those 45% remaining were subjected to the effect of the attack. Only 25% remained unaffected.

baltakatei@sopuli.xyz · 2 pts · 3y (2 replies)

Are PokƩmon people too?

Buttons@programming.dev · 2 pts · 3y (1 reply)

That depends on whether or not people are Pokemon?

baltakatei@sopuli.xyz · 2 pts · 2y

Mixed Martial Arts tournaments are basically PokƩmon tournaments?

Is that Starship Sagittarius ? Because if it is you should get in my traditional marriage bag

Maultasche@feddit.de · 1 pts · 3y

The other 45% open their laptop and now have a complete plan of the caves.

I think i may have somehow replied to the wrong post... you're correct, what I said has absolutely nothing to do with magic flying bat

Theero@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y (1 reply)

I mean you're right, but you're also lost as fuck.
