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....

[–] [email protected] 49 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

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

Just like my luck IRL! :’)

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

thank you! I think it confused me somehow

[–] [email protected] 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.

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?!

[–] [email protected] 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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No but this didn't scathe me further.

Thanks for the explanation.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Bruh I’m so scathed rn, frfr

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

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

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

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

snor10 is confused!

snor10 used POST!

It hurt itself in its confusion!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Zubatta believe it.

[–] [email protected] 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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

It’s super effective!

That depends on whether or not people are Pokemon?

Mixed Martial Arts tournaments are basically Pokémon tournaments?

Don’t hurt yourself in your confusion!

I walked into a wall while reading this

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Hahaha yessssd

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 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”

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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