>>56311683Is thundurus any good?
Shiny Aegislash when?Shiny Arceus when?
>>56311683>>Pokémon GO Event InfoHalf of these barely update if at all. Feels like twitter is the only place with any recent news
Can’t wait for when gigantamax finally comes to Pokemon Go! What will be the first thing you do when you get him?
>>563116991th best non-mega, non-shadow, electric. Therian is 3rd best but you can't switch between the forms. Bringing in shadows and megas Therian drops to 7th and normal gets beat by Shadow Arcanine.
>>56311728>P337 hasn't updated since mid-to-late JulyDamn, probably should take that out at some point.
>>56311751Better than xur?
>>56311774not even close, neither form
>>56311732look and trade for hundos because hanke will 100% not let us gigamax our old venusaurs/charizard/gengars ,etc.
>>56311788You are not alone.
>>56311783Does it really even matter?Isn't gigamax mostly just a cosmetic change?Those forms only give you more HP, not more DPS stats.
>he still hasn't reached legend rank
>>56311841Shit like Kartana would have higher TDO and should last longer in raidsOf course, assuming niantranny would let us dynamax old pokemon... If we have to raid for it again, then it's fucking useless and doa (it is).
>>56311831You are replying to yourself.
>>56311875*xhe
>>56311884No i am not.
>>56311879>higher TDOWho cares, just get 8 Kartana.It's not like raids last longer than 20 seconds anyway.
>>56311879to dynamax an existing pokemon you have to get it to level 50 and get enough dynamax mushrooms or whatever the fuck from regular dynamax raids to give an old pokemon the ability to dynamaxit will also cost 10,000 stardust per dynamax since they won't find a way to add the den dust shit resource to the game
>>56311887You are.
>>56311902Wrong.
>>56311912Suck my cock, dude.
>>56311889They are gonna make you walk routes to get dynamax energy or whatever is called.Random chance of course, good luck trainer.
>>56311937Sex with trainers.
>>56311884...How often does the meta in ML change?Is it always just Mewtwo, dragons and big ground boys + whatever the fuck dialgi is (I've run into a couple, never seen them before), or does it change from season to season?
>>56312067The ML meta only changes with the release of new pokemon that can threaten the ML meta, or drastic move changes. There are small micro changes to the meta here and there, as people adjust to the most played pokemon, but overall Master League is a very stable meta.We're due for a big pvp shakeup and the teases coming out of Niantic going into this weekend are looking promising, though we all know it's going to be a big nothing burger anyways.
>>56312090>overall Master League is a very stable meta.Great. Cause I've finally got a team I'm comfortable usingI don't always win, but this predictability makes it seem way easier/less stressful than GL ever was
>>56312150yup, if you can afford ML then you have the easiest path to ranking up or just enjoying PVP. It just sucks when the meta does shit and your million+ dust and all those fucking XL candies goes down the drain. Thankfully ML meta shifts are rarely drastic, even the most recent one with the two Origin forms and the new Necrozma didn't shift things too much, and some of the old mainstays stick around and are still good, just not as strong.
>>56311937Dynamax will be Party Play exclusive.
>tfw not enough energy to Mega Evolve AggronIf I Mega Evolve my Latios, will I get bonus candy for catching Beldums this sunday?
>>56312683Yeah any steel/psychic
Is meteor mash a must for a good metagross?
>>56312985yes
>>56311556Pretty much what this guy said>>56311594>Get to know your local cell structure>Get to know what makes good POIs and things that look like good POIs, even if they don’t seem to be>Get to know what the best language is when writing titles and descriptions for stops, the reason why the stops should become stops, and why the stop should be appealed if it was rejected>Many things can become stops, such as parks, pavillions, athletic courts, community pools, neighborhood signs, art murals, fountains, playgrounds, sculptures, mile markers, very local stores, etc.>Make 2 stops in an empty area for 1 gym, 4 more for another gym, 14 more for a 3rd one>Upvote or add a photo to what you want to become a gym and wait a couple days first >Look around for POIs on your daily routine and adjacent>Use google maps sattelite and street view to scout out POIs remotely so you know exactly where to go>Have a good primary photo for the stop that is centered well that will look good on the photo disc (vertical)>Have a good secondary supporting photo that helps the voter understand more about the surrounding area (horizontal, zoomed out)>Make sure to save submission pictures in case the submission gets rejected so you don’t have to wait a month for an appeal or have to go all the way back physically to submit the stop again (you can remotely submit things for up to 4-5 miles iirc)>Do a bit of grinding on wayfarer to understand what voters see when they have to approve stops, title and description edits, and location edits so you’ll have a better idea of how to sell stops to voters>If helping out other people getting their stops approved appeals to you, you can keep voting to earn upgrades, which will make your stops take less time before they get an successful nomination or a rejection>Typically if you vote too fast you will get penalized and be unable to vote for a few hours. To avoid this wait 30-60 seconds before submitting a vote for a stop
What's the best moveset for Mienfoo/Mienshao? and is there gonna be a showcase? I was planning on evolving my XXL for High Jump Kick but it seems to be by capture or Elite TM only.
>>56313616Is Meinfoo even spawning in the wild or raid only?
>>56313734raid only.
>>56313750
>>56313750Oh its a pokestop research reward too. Not as bad
>>56311683If I do a Trainer Battle with a friend, does it count for the timed research where I have to win in the battle league?
I'm a fucking retard. What do I do with the Shadow Regirock I have?
>You can now search for Pokemon capable of gigantamax factor in your boxes.
>>56314096eat it
I was gonna complain about how mid the end of this season is but I’m chaning my tune
>>56314211It seems the joke was on me the whole time
>>56311382Dear diary, today I agreed with solarfriend>>56311389ManhattanZaragozaSanta Monica
time for the semi annual carpal tunnel pvp grind
>>56314393you can't agree with yourself ackemi
>>56314845Why
>>56315008for that rare candy
>>56315013Respect
>100 fossil league battlesthanks hanke
>fossil cup>opponent sends out lucario>surrender because i have zero anti lucario pokemon stilli hate this cup
Look at this cutie.
>>56315213If you wait you get all 3 leagues plus catch cup
Seeing alot of torchics and marenies. Is there an event or is it just the area I'm in?
>>56315545What'd you name it?
im confused my friend is talking about how he cought a pikachu from the event research but I only got a research that gave out an elite charged tm?
>>56315644Both
>>56315570But im on a 23 win streak because everyone good is waiting
>>56315787nevermind my friend is shit at explaining
>>56311888>he sweats every single RPS match for hours on end while the tankchad alternates between steamrolling brainlets using eeveelutions and saving loads of time by surrendering 4/5 battles per set
>>56315876seriously, after taking the tank pill i have steady rare candy income with zero stress
Can I claim rewards and catch the level 5 raid Pokémon if I lose all my pokes and wait at the lobby screen?
>>56315876Meant to reply to >>56311875
>Do a Mienfoo raid>HundoHANKE!!!!!
TIL the buddy cp boost is only active when that mon is your buddy, and it's only for 2 stages/1 level...
>Diver Pikachu>doesn't know DiveUninstaling this shit game right now!!!
>no wild mienfoo or scuba pikachuOMW to meet John Hanke in San Trannyfrisco
>>56315876>he thinks legend players sweat and struggle to reach legend each seasonLmao, I've 5-0'd my way to legend two seasons in a row now. Shits fucking easy
>>56311683I've read something about watching Twitch with some of their partners to get a Timed Research code, is that live already? Which streamer would you recommend to watch for that code?
>>56316241Post longest streak or stfu
Here are your Pokemon GO players broMiddle one is a tranny btw
>stream starts>idiots spamming !drop
This guy spawned in my house.
Nobody dropped any codes yet?
>>56316429Is this the cope this time around? Last time you got blown the fuck out trying to brag about elo. Winstreaks are only a thing when you play people far below your level, not when you spend all your time on or near the leaderboard.
>listening to player who just got out of the most beat up and old shit box imaginable talking about how much money he spends on a cell phone game
cant believe the japanese suicide airplaned these people
Dang I'm still banned from the GO channel for making fun of trannies. No code for me.
>>56316604Never mind
>two hundos in a daylolOne Pancham from egg and one Kangaskhan from raid
how do we get the codes?
>>56316667>Rewards.pokemon.com page can't retrieve my inventory to claim the codeSMOLINDIANCOMPANYMeanwhile Alola IRL on stream
>>56316707this happens everytimeptc giving me error 15
>>56316739I'll try later when people are done DDOSing I mean gangbanging their server
do I have to link my account to twitch for the code?
>>56316748>>56316739actually i cant log in on firefox but chrome is fine. cant access inventory on chrome lol
www.pkmn.news>Bitly placeholder pageI kek'd
>>56316492>I 5-0'd every set>b-but I dont have a streak to show for itSo you 4-1'd every set to legend then?
AHH JUST GIVE ME MY CODE
Shirt>A6NEWU63K9AU8
>>56316838Never claimed I 5-0'd every set on the way to legend dumbass. I did however 5-0 to get into legend both this season and last, which is what my claim was. Also got that 14 win streak on the way up to legend, which is something you'll never do lmao.
>>56311751Reading this almost gave me a stroke wtf are you even trying to say?
>>56317008Without Megas or shadow pokemon in the mix, thundurus incarnate is 11th best electric pokemon. But when you put shadows and Megas in the mix incarnate therian drops off the list completely and is beaten by a fucking arcanine using tfang+wild charge.What's so hard to understand? I know I flubbed the 11th at the start, but context should have told you it's bad no matter how you look at it.
>Diver Pikachu drop is broken on all affiliated channelstop kek, small company pls understand
>tap tap tap tap>over 500 lossesembarrassing
>tfw want drops but cant sign uppokemon site blocked my ip from logging in or signing up
>>56317042>>56316424 Here, claimed all my drops. From the official GO channel (shirt and research) and the second code (a Scuba Pikachu) got it from watching 30 minutes a partner named hannimew
>Twitch tells me I claimed the drop 30 minutes ago>Don't see it in my rewards inventory or have the in-game researchCan't they just give me the code for showing up? It's not like I want to watch people indulge in the awful state of the meta, but they can't even properly reward me for doing so.
>>56316739yeah im getting that error too its like they banned my IP
I'm a returning player and I got a few questions.>Does the December community day allow every pokemon from every community day ever to learn their elite move when they evolve or just the pokemon that had community days that year?>How often are there rocket events or events that allow you to tm frustration off?>Is there an understanding of the mega and legendary rotation? Like do people know what's coming after xerneas and mega salamence?>who is Hanke?>What your favorite pokemon?
>>56316241>I've 5-0'd my way to legend two seasons in a row now. Shits fucking easy>>56316934Never have i ever seen goalposts moved this far.>something you'll never doI already had a 16 streak on my way to ace this season. And now i get to tank for funny numbers and rare candies while you "dont sweat or struggle" with your 3-2/2-3 sets.
>>56317293Sorry, I was trolling with this post for (You)s and now I feel guilty. Please ignore.
>>56317301>And now i get to tank for funny numbers and rare candiesI don't get it. Explain to the noob please
>>56317301not my fault you inferred something that wasn't stated, talk about moving the goalposts lmao.The eternal cope from you is hilarious though, you brag about your ace rank all the time like it's something special, and then brag about your "tanking" for dust and RC. Your life must suck a lot if you're forced to partake in an activity you actively hate just to get dust and candy to play this game. I spent over 500RC and 3 million dust the other day powering up new shadows and I still have over 1k candy and 5 million dust to burn.
how do i do this 30 minute watch thing
>>56317275try a different browser. i dont think it likes my firefox because of my addons
>>56316241What's this godlike team that allows you to get legend this easily then?
>>56317305
>>56317477last season, it was catch cup with Skarm/Azu/Whiscash. decent IV skarm but shit IV azu/cash I made just for the cup. steamrolled everything last season no issue that week.This season I got there in Fantasy cup with Shadow Empoleon, Giratina-O, and Azu. After I got legend I just ran into the mirror team over and over which was annoying but still did well. Fossil cup was annoying, but Shadow Wrath with DP/IW, ferro and regi did great early on before I just stopped playing since it's a garbage cup.All season though, shadow Gligar/Shadow Feraligatr carried me hard through the non-themed cups.
So they're probably buffing Metagross next season, yes?>Psychic got nerfed>EQ got nerfed>Metagross isn't particularly good anymore regardless, just a worse Dusk Mane for the most partIce Punch, Thunder Punch and Psychic Fangs are all in the learnset, after all.
>>56317537Nah, give it Grass Knot to fuck with ground and water types, that'd be fucking hilarious.
>>56317371>you brag about your ace rank all the timeIm not whatever bogieman you think i am
>chad roman stoic god vs virgin with man appended to a pokemons name
>>56317571>bogiemanuh huh
>>56317587Post FC and fight me then faggot
>>56317596>Post FC and fight me then faggotlike i'm going to let you spam report me to niantic lmao. Good job outing yourself though, you're pretty much word for word following the same argument pattern yet again lol.
that guy had a big nose
>>56317613I greedily accept your early surrender
>>56317613pussy
>>56317631>>56317637
>competitive tappinglollmao
>>56317660Back in the schoolyard/Xbox live days we wouldve 1v1'd and became best friends.But in the shitty social media age, all we do is seethe at eachother.Now im just sad
hey guys newfag here, i just checked my pvp, 50% win rate too lol only been doing the fossil cup though
>>56317683doubtful, you're far too much of an asshole for me to be friends with you. Maybe you should try contributing positively to the thread and not just trolling posts?
>>56317694>50% win rate toono forced 50/50 algorithm btw everyone just happens to have that dont look into it goyim.
>>56317722That's what ranked based matchmaking does yes. Why are you acting like it's anything special?
i thought this was a kids game? why are all the participants in the championships grown ass MEN????
>>56317793Because children aren't generally allowed to wander around on their own to collect Pokemon, let alone go to distant cities to play a mobile game
>>56317793no disposable income
what stream do I watch to get the drops? and how do I get them?
Man they sure are stingy with these elite tms. They seem to have a higher value then anything else in the game. I guess some moves do make or break a pokemon but still $25 for only 2 elite fast and charged tms? I noticed that elite charge tms aren't all that rare but elite fast tms are almost non-existent.
>>56317877https://rewards.pokemon.com/ https://www.twitch.tv/pokemongo/https://www.twitch.tv/pkmncasthttps://store.pokemongolive.com/offer-redemption
>>56317885you can get 2 elite fast tms and 2 elite charge tms each pvp season, and then you can buy one from the store every community day, either a fast or charge tm based on the move the CD mon is getting.Then after that you get them through special events, like the research going on right now.

>wow they sure are using a lot of lickitungs, maybe i need one for my time>lvl 50 requiredlmao...
AYO HOL UPi just saw some random youtube video he said you need low attack, high def and hpwhat the heck???? have i been playing this game wrong
>>56318535depends on the mon and format. ML is always 15/15/15
spoofies free etms in hawaii
>>56318535For some reason Attack IV’s are more heavily weighed into CP than defense and HP IV’s are. Great League and Ultra League are capped on CP, not levels or stats. Therefore the ideal stats for a mon competing in those leagues is minimal attack but as much defense and hp as possible, since that will let them get higher levels and higher overall stats before hitting the CP cap. Also look at this lil shiny nigga
honestly they should just do the smogon tier system
>>56318822walkchad btw
Omgon 6v6 singles is boring af.
>>56318839maybe current gen but the gen with megas was peakit would still be 3v3 but tiers would be by usage, increased likelihood of everyones favorite pokemon being usable

Keep in mind this is in Phoenix and it's been a mild 108 for the past few weeks. He often talks about buying the gold box with 100 raids passes and this dump ape with a beat up 90s Sentra can't use that money to fix his ac
to the guy who beats all gyms and then fills it with a blissy:FUCK YOU
>>56315545very cute friend
>>56318833right
When defending gyms, does the defending pokemon actually use/have access the second charged move, if available? Or does it pretend it doesn't exist?
>>56318893What are these coordinates supposed to do? Does PokéGo have a coordinate function?
>>56318989From what I remember it usually just picks one at random.
>>56318998>From what I remember it usually just picks one at random.it doesn't even have enough AI to use the relevant move? Fuck.Was hoping to get a 15/whatever/15 Blissey, max level it and give it Zen Headbutt/Psychic and a third move to be a total dick in gyms
>>56318994if u are in person or a cheater
>>56318989Yes, but it goes full retard charging the most expensive move then throwing the weaker one. It's better to just use single moved mons.Or just put a random shiny, it doesn't matter anyway.
>>56319018I'm in person. Put the coords into Google, found the Playlab, but where's the GO Zone?
>>5631898999% of players who want a gym will stick around to take it and will have the appropriate Pokemon to destroy your defender regardless. Gym defending is a meme.
>>56319029Are you gonna fuck one of the locals?
>>56319029nigga if u are in person just fucking ask someone
>>56318464Lickitung spawns are everywhere this season, they were impossibly rare before
>>56319097lickitung has been in the spawn pool for 2 years straight, the fuck are you talking about?
>>56319092I did. No one seems to know. I met like 6 others who were all looking for it.
>>56319097sure but you still need 296
>>56319105>2 years straightExactly, that's still only about half the time pvp existed, Lickitung used to be extremely inaccessible.
1 hp and a dream
>looking for a Teddiursa so I can finally get Ursaluna>finally find the Rocket with Teddiursa/Ursaring>I get the Meowth he sent out second This was right after fighting 100+ Rockets during the event and getting 1 Archeops who ended up being 1 star.
>>56319134Lickitung used to be worthless before the XL update, and as soon as that got pushed in 2021 Lickitung became a common spawn ever since. If you don't have a lickitung by now then you're new to the game or just stupid as fuck.
theres having one and then having a lvl 50
i thought i had a prized shiny lickitung that was almost maxed iv, but now i knowi dont have the special move nor the iv spread for 1500 league :/imma just go back to being casual

>three frame drops in one battlewe love go battle league!
Why are the Pokemon rewards for battle league so shit?
>rematch???????
you can swap which side your moves are on or is this just people being silly?
is this only great league stuff? or will we get to see some no cp limit matches?
>>56319059thisthe only thing worth statting for is MAYBE shadow raids
>>56311751>1thanon...you had better not be white
>>56319799lmfao
>>56311955Sex (fe)male trainers
>>56319229dumbfuck....it's not hard to get a lickitung to level 50 in the three fucking years it's been shoved down our throats by Niantic. If you're new to the game, just say that instead of trying to cope that Lickitung wasn't common before the level 50 update (which doesn't fucking matter anyways since you wouldn't have gotten XL's before the update anyways dumbass.)
>caught a rank 4 shiny lickitung a couple months back>still only have like 20 XL candy>also dustlet since started in MarchI have a few ETMs that I haven't used, so I guess I could use it on him if he ever gets to a decent levelHave they ever done an event where an exclusive catch/evolve move was also available from normal TM?
>>56320079never from a normal TM, so lickitung needs to be ETM'd or caught with body slam.Honestly while it's good, lickitung is really a show 6 pick 3 star. It's decently good in GL, but it really depends on the meta surrounding it if it's a good safeswap or not.
>Counter and Wing Attack nerfed>Shadow Claw untouched
Whats your trade distance looking like bros?
>>56315545female?
>>56316430kek, I only watch Unite and sometimes take a look at VGC but VGC is a cheater riddled piece of shit so not really interested in thatIt was funny when Unite stream had 13k viewers while VGC the "true" game had 11k(which are still extremely pathetic numbers for THE competition of the year, single LoL costreamers pull much higher numbers on a regular fucking Tuesday, from a single regional league)
>>56320162If I had to guess, maybe Niantic’s logic is that Figting and Flying are better offensively than Ghost, or maybe more things get Wing Attack/Counter than Shadow Claw. Not sure it that actually true though
>>56320162>Think it's a joke>Look it up for myself>Rock Slide, Dig, Body Slam, Future Sight, Steel Wing, Smack Down and Razor Leaf all getting nerfs>Sucker Punch will now have Counter's former stats, with Astonish being surprisingly close>Parabolic Charge, Swift, Fire Spin, Metal Claw, Trailblaze, Fairy Wind, Karate Chop, Mud Slap, Poison Sting, Psywave, Bone Club, Rollout, Night Shade, Power Gem and Shadow Punch also getting buffs>Mud Shot, Sky Attack, Surf and Brutal Swing getting rebalanced>Tons of things get Force Palm (not Mienfoo, hope you didn't farm for a good one with HJK), Brutal Swing and Night ShadeHoly shit, they're finally scrambling the old meta. Not sure what this means for GBL, but I'm glad I have a decent IV Dunsparce. Hopefully this will mean I actually have a reason to invest in my other normal-types since they now have actually good fast moves.
>>56320111And body slam is apparently getting nerfed, so maybe I don't have to invest in it lmao
>>56320579VGC is really boring to watch with gen 9 looking really bad graphically/stylisticallyAnd Urshifu, Calyrex, Miraidon, Chi Yu, Flutter Mane, and Incineroar and a few others completely running things for over a year now is also getting really boring
Why are there so many level 35 casuals in the friend code spreadsheet?Are level 40+ friends who actually gift daily, and send/respond to raid invites actually that rare? 646223634063At level 50, I feel like trying for shiny legends and getting all the Vivillon are all I have left.
>>56320605>with Astonish being surprisingly closeastonishingly close*
Dragon Breath is still annoying as ever. A decrease in damage would had been great.
>>56317739The statistical impossibility of "literally every player has a 50% winrate" shows the game is using an algorithm to match people based on churn risk rather than skill.>inb4 copePokemon has been reading people's teams to counter them at least since the gen 4 battle tower. Saying "le pogo is le complex" is just sad cope for investing your pride in winning at taptaplmao.
>>56320816A lot of fairy-types got buffs, I’d recommend at least trying one of them out.
>tap tap tapLMAOwhy don't you legend virgins tap some pussy
2 more weeks until her day
>>56320975Yaaay
>went up against a feather dance pigeoti will never take pvp seriously as long as degenerate shit like this exists
>finally get enough xls for Medi>psychic nerfed and it’s not longer meta relevant>finally get enough xls for sableye>meta changes and it’s not longer meta relevant>finally get enough xls for licki>body slam nerfI truly hate this game with a fucking passion and xl candy has ruined this game for me. See you tomorrow.
>>56320835Good thing "literally every player" doesn't have a 50% win rate then huh? It's not uncommon to see top players in the 60% category and bottom feeders below 50%. All that text just to be this retarded, sad.
>>56320616yeah, honestly the pvp update seems.....waay to much. I'm not a fan of drastic changes like this and I'm not sure the new pvp is going to be all that healthy. Steel + Charm meta doesn't sound fun to play at all.Definitely wouldn't invest in a lickitung now though lol
>>56321142it sucks, forget meta, play with your favorites, take the tankpill
>new cheap phone>worst gps i've ever seen in my life>sudden insane drift>run a ~1km straight line in 5secs>it keeps going>place 2 mons in two very distant gymsi'm getting banned for this aren't i?
>>56320975God I can’t wait for my cute brionne.
Didn't know you could get multiple Zygarde cells from a single spawn and I walked four more routes waiting for a cell like an idiot.
>>56321391I really don't get why this game artificially limits you on how much you can get in a day. Like what if I walk around town a lot, let me grind out Zygarde in a month
>>56321396NO SHORTCUTS!
>>56321396To nerf spoofies they fuck with normal players. They could at least make it a guaranteed drop but NOoOo, you gotta pray for a cell.Niantranny for a reason.
>>56320773Which Vivillon region are your gifts from?
>Counter FINALLY nerfed, meaning that there's now actually Force palm, karate chop and counter as sidegrades to each other>Mud shot nerfed (fairy wind buffed because fairy can do no wrong)>Body spam and rock slide nerfed>mud slap and astonish are now 4 DPT / 3.33 EPT (aka force palm clones)>Wing attack nerfed (and thus shadow gligar just fucking dies)>Metal claw might actually be a move now>Brutal swing double buffed and added to like 55 different things>a bunch of other things fiddled with somewhatNiantic took their sweet time sorting shit out but it seems next season will actually have a brand new meta
>>56321447>finally get Counter poliwrath>nerfedFug
>>56321451Counter was fucking absurd and I don't know why it was kept as it was for the longest timeYou could just add Counter to anything and it'd be significantly improvedNow we have >Counter at 4 DPT / 3 EPT on 2T >Force Palm at 4 DPT / 3.33 EPT on 3T>Karate Chop at 2.5 EPT / 4.33 EPT on 2Tinstead of just lmao Counter is king(low kick and rock smash are still fucked)We don't know if Mud Shot will be at 4 EPT or 4.33 EPT because as a 2 DPT / 4 EPT it's kind of bad. Might actually tap tap tap again next season, purely to see if Tapu Lele is any good in ML.
>>56321447>>56321462>Mudshot nerfed>Lanturn nerfed AGAIN>counter nerfed>Body Slam nerfed>fighting counterparts still pretty bad>Steel buffed>Grass not drastically buffedprepare your anuses, y'all about to get fucked.
>>56321142Sableye will always be good, until the day Shadow Claw gets nerfed. It even got Power Gem buffed
>>56321497Yeah they don't balance for UL and MLbesides I don't think they can nerf Shadow Claw without taking out a shit ton of things as collateral damage for what shadow g8r does in ULbut it really does seem like they're just fucking done with people being able to pick the same GL comp they've picked since preseason and just unga bunga their way to the main stage
>>56321497>Grass not drastically buffed>the only Water type nerfed is the one that’s part electric Is Hanke allied with Team Aqua or something?
>gyms don't resume their regular operations once the raid is completed
>>56321531>the only Water type nerfed is the one that’s part electrictechnically all the mudboys got nerfed as well with the mudshot nerf. This means Feraligatr can more easily switch into whiscash/quag/swampert and threaten them before taking damage. At least Empoleon might get better with the Metal Claw buff. If metal claw gets 4ept that would be amazing for Empoleon, being stuck on 6 second Hydro cannons and less than stellar drill pecks hurts.
>>56319159Same thing happened to me.
>>56321540It's still in raid state for everyone that hasn't beaten it
>>56321540>>gyms don't resume their regular operations once the raid is completedBecause the raid is still ongoing. There could be raids for other people. Now what Niantic should do is have access to the gym defenders during raids. If you start a raid and the gym changes hands during your raid, it should count as the previous gym team.
>>56321621No it's fub taking the gym from the local mystroons right before the egg hatches.
>>56321421Garden
Came here to brag I somehow got two shiny lickitungs today and apparently that's not a big deal at all
>Everything nerfed in the next patch LMAO
>>56321706Me with skarm yesterdee
I wish there was a way to trade out legendaries to some of you that might not be as fortunate. I have a ton of Moltres, Rayquaza, Suicunes, Lugia, etc and I can't just give them away.
>>56322016>I have a ton of Moltres, Rayquaza, Suicunes, LugiaI'm saving mine for tuesday
>>56322016Maybe that fat fuck Mateo should let us wonder trade random pokemon and get an XL candy if the trade distance is over 100km.Instead of shit gifts nobody cares about.
>>56322310what happens on tuesday?
>>56322344You will only get your +1 vivillon points and type 2 7km egg and you will LIKE it.
>>56322347double candy when sending them off to the factory
>>56322347EOS. They're finally shutting down this shit game(Spotlight hour, double transfer candy)
Do you guys ever think how you'll celebrate when they finally shut this shit down? What do you have planned for when EOS finally comes?
>>56322427my walks will get really boring.i have a series of newly found health issues, and my midnight walks are the only time I get any peace, and catching some mons while doing it is a lot of fun. that and i got a spoofer lol
neat, I guess
>Someone kicked my mon out of a gym and only my mon.Do I have some enemy in my neighborhood and this is the beginning or is this just some drive by shit and I just got unlucky?Never had something like this before. I’ve had my gym conquered and then turned into a plain grey, but not a gym only removing me and nothing else.
>>56322885Earlier in the week I was getting coffee before work and knocked out 2 out of 5 defenders while waiting but my order got done really fast so I just left after. I feel like stuff like that happens semi-frequently and depends if the person is walking or driving.
>>56322885if you're parked in a gym that's near a traffic stop or such then it's almost entirely a drive by. that or someone wanted to shave a mon out to put theirs in after the timer came up.
>>56322885I spoof legally from my apartmentSometimes the signal switches while I'm trying to take out a gym
>>56322951>I spoof legallyAnon, I...
>>56323051GPS RNG is totally legit, reeee
>>56321142I once wanted a ML Lugia. Spent all my passes before the remote nerf, hosted every day, mega evolved flying/psychic types and basically went all out. Not enough XLs of course, but it was a goal to pursue. Just one Pokémon, at level 50, with two charged moves.I thought she'd eventually be ready for ML. Just one Pokémon.Then she got nerfed, I took the spoof pill and never cared about powering up anything since.
>>56323051Not sure what to call it then...I just keep restarting the game, placing the phone different places on my desk, and my avatar runs around random places nearby on the map
>>56321387Soon>>56321540The entire raiding system as it exists should be purged and redone from scratch
>>56322885I do this shit all the time. Just knock out as many things as I can while jogging or waiting for something. Also happens to me all the time at the gym by the intersection.I also do it to the spoofer that holds half the gyms in the area. I'll knock out only his pokemon so another person can put one in and he's locked out.
how do i get my surfer pikachu? twitch said accounts are linked so I'm already fucked
>>56323374raid
If there's no algorithm then how come I only game game-losing crashes when I'm winning a battle and not when I'm losing one?Replies that agree with me only, please.
shiny vs regular altaria? I have the chance to evolve the swablu but I dunno how I like him shiny.
>>56323816It's a subpar fairy or dragon attacker in raids and it just got nerfed in pvp, so...whatever you want man.
>>56323374I think I can trade you one if you want, I got a few extras.
>>56323374Watch a partnered stream, not an official
What happens if I redeem the offical Twitch research? Does it just revert back to day 1? I haven't done the 3 GL wins yet.
Is squeeing the only way to farm raids?
>>56323933the fuck is squeeing
>>56316435who are these people?
>>56323946It's what the pay pigs do, bro
>>56322885someone probably just got busy and could play anymore, don’t care it personally and enjoy the easy coin
i will say this pokemon go championship is pretty fun to watch
>>56323946Something fangirls in the '10s did.
>>56324114Just glomped a shundo
nice fucking meta Niantic...Sure am excited to see fucking clodsires on every god damn team.
>>56324152why havent i seen any carbinks
>>56324199right now? Loses to the top meta pokes, doesn't really beat gligar unless you invest two shields and with all the water running around you just get fucked running it. Plus Basti is the better degenerate taptap style anyways, at least until after this update goes life.
>>56324152To be fair, Clossire has a lot of weaknesses, and while Poison Sting is a bit scary, there are still a lot of things that can wall Earthquake and Stone Edge. I’m just glad Gastrodon is finally meta.
Is Force Palm its time for it to shine?
>dropped elo to 650>teams are still getting hard countered so i have trouble getting 3/5 winsbruh
>>56324094what's so fun seeing the same pokemon and the same league?
>>56322403
Which will be the superior tap tranny?
>>56324628tapsisters...
>>56324628>NHoffWhat does NH stand for? Nuts Hacked?
>>56324677holy kek
TAP TAP TAP LMAO
> Karate chop buffCan't wait to try it on Primeape
>>56324628>trannies>losers roundThey'll never be real women and they'll never be real champions.
Why do we have a dex for fucking megas but not shinies?
>>56324942You do, you just don’t have enough to access it yet LMAO
>>56324960How many do I need?
>>56324993How many do you have?
>>563250134
>>5632501312, but 1 is a repeat so 11 different shinies
>>56324942Reminder that we have a dex for 3-star shinies specifically and not for XXL, XXS models or shiny perfects.
>>56325025Google says you need 10 but I think it’s more
>>56322403is there a version of that kind of event but extra xl candy on transfer? might save a ton of beldums from tomorrow for it
>>56323243gps drift
>>56324386It's still not as good as Shadow Machamp in raids, but it's not nearly as outclassed as it used to be.
>>56324532this is my first time watching any event. the number that have been down to 1 hp is insane
