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....

[–] sigmund 50 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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

[–] Mastens 11 points 2 years 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] 5 points 2 years ago

thank you! I think it confused me somehow

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years 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 2 years 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 2 years ago (1 children)

No but this didn't scathe me further.

Thanks for the explanation.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years 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

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 2 years ago

snor10 is confused!

snor10 used POST!

It hurt itself in its confusion!

[–] foofiepie 6 points 2 years ago

Zubatta believe it.

[–] sulungskwa 6 points 2 years 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 2 years 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 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

It’s super effective!

[–] chinpokomon 3 points 2 years 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.

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

That depends on whether or not people are Pokemon?

Mixed Martial Arts tournaments are basically Pokémon tournaments?

Don’t hurt yourself in your confusion!

[–] OldManBOMBIN 3 points 2 years ago

I walked into a wall while reading this

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

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

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

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

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] 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years 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

[–] Theero 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

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