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

[-] that_ginger_one@feddit.uk 33 points 1 year ago

Never felt like 55% though....

[-] sigmund@lemmy.world 49 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Mastens@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Badland9085@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Just like my luck IRL! :’)

[-] squiblet@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

thank you! I think it confused me somehow

[-] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 3 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] Metaright@kbin.social 19 points 1 year ago

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?!

[-] SloganLessons@kbin.social 10 points 1 year ago

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 points 1 year ago

No but this didn't scathe me further.

Thanks for the explanation.

[-] Pinklink@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Bruh I’m so scathed rn, frfr

[-] EveryMuffinIsNowEncrypted@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Are you being serious or making a joke?

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

I hurt myself

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 16 points 1 year ago

55% of people viewing this image have hurt themselves in confusion.

[-] Roundcat@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 year ago

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 points 1 year ago

snor10 is confused!

snor10 used POST!

It hurt itself in its confusion!

[-] sulungskwa@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

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 points 1 year ago

Zubatta believe it.

[-] Norgur@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

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

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

It’s super effective!

[-] chinpokomon@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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.

Don’t hurt yourself in your confusion!

[-] OldManBOMBIN@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I walked into a wall while reading this

[-] baltakatei@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago
[-] Buttons@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

That depends on whether or not people are Pokemon?

[-] baltakatei@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

Mixed Martial Arts tournaments are basically Pokémon tournaments?

[-] WizzCaleeba@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago
[-] Theero@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I bit my tongue after reading this and I blame you OP!

[-] interdimensionalmeme@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Maultasche@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Hahaha yessssd

i didn't even fall over and squick my knee this time, things were pretty okay yesterday!

[-] squiblet@kbin.social -3 points 1 year ago

The fucked up thing so far, we wanted “let’s replace menial labor with robots” and so far it’s been “we can replace art and literature with robots”

[-] ReCursing@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

Bollocks is it. Also that's completely irrelevant to the post afaict

[-] squiblet@kbin.social 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

[-] interolivary@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

But you're not wrong though, magic bats or not 😁

[-] Theero@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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

[-] squiblet@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

i was fairly drunk, but I swear it was a software error! maybe not!
