Weenor
Forcing myself to play this slop once again
is kyurem and the other two dragons that are on the upcoming rotation with the fusion as well
>>58691411???
>>58691411It’s just them individually, you only get energy from fighting the fusions themselves. If anything I bet their will be a raid day for them in February
can these sub $200 motorolla phones from walmart run this?
This seasons bonuses suck
experts give me a gbl team so i can win and lose the right way
>>58691765Yeah I hate seasons without an extra daily raid pass or guaranteed XL from trades
What a fail of a season and it just started. At least locally the player base really dies down, so you’d think the better bonuses would come when the northern hemisphere’s winter to stir up some hype.
>>58691692I believe so, yeah. A friend of mine bought one like that and was able to play without much of a problem (his got very hot after a while though)
Got around 200 Cranidos, none very good. What should I do with them? Guaranteed XL candy trading is over, is the best option now to wait a month until double transfer candy is back?
>>58692003Save a few of the highest attack ones, its one of the best non-mega/ non legendary attackers.
>>58692006What should I do with the rest, just transfer them? Feels like a waste honestly
>I am so fucking high right now
You ARE tanking, right guys?!??
>>58691692they need enough ram though. 8gb minimum although the game states you need 4gb but it will run very slow at 4gb but if you want the best fps you ideally want 12gb and snapdragon 8 for the best performance but since Niantic never bothered to update the unity engine for pogo, the game continues to run like shit for so many years even on the best phones. you're better off purchasing a refurbished phone off of ebay or amazon that would perform better than a Walmart phone.
>>58692262such as????!?
>>58691765What are even the bonuses?
>>58692015I've been trading them with my alts
>>58692236How can I guarantee to win those 5 matches?
>>58692512You lose a lot of matches before. When you get there, your Elo should be low enough that you are matched against bad players.
>>58692506What do you accomplish with that though?
>>586925032x first catch of the day dust2x friendship bonus damage in raids2 special trades per day
>>58692616>Awful>Situational>Ok at bestGrim
Two shinies back to back, that’s something
>>58692523i get the xl with spoofing
>>58692003should have transferred them during the hour it was 2x
>>58692752How?>>58692765Yeah, focused too much on catching the 'nidos that I forgot the spotlight hour's bonus was double transfer candy
anyone wants to do the weekly challenges with me?
>>58691692Maybe no. I've got an iPhone and the game is crashing a few times a day. Checking the debug logs it's "outofmemory event," and the frequency's getting worse with each patch. It usually dies when I start a gym fight or a raid, which means my first 'mon just idles while I'm rebooting.And now the new weekly team quest thing is also throwing me "outofmemory" events. I thinking it happens when the game loads up new models+textures since it doesn't bother deallocating the ones it loaded before -- typical fucking gamedevs thinking memory is infinite.
Are you supposed to hide that you're tanking btw? Can you get into trouble for queuing 3 100CP mons into master league?
>>58692616I'll take all the extra dust I can get.
For the Great League, is Sableye worth the dust investment?
>>58692965I’m already in a group but if you’re still have trouble finding people next week i’ll invite/accept an invite from you. I’m not that active but one of the few things I do is catch whatever I see935949060381>>58693351 You should be fine >>58693403Ghosts and normals will likely be more common this season and Sableye is good against both
Need friends to complete a mission. Will try to send gifts every day.7899 9949 9812
>>58692523more candy and the roll for a 100%
>>58693351>Are you supposed to hide that you're tanking btw?No>Can you get into trouble for queuing 3 100CP mons into master league?Not in the slightest, but it's faster to just surrender instead of waiting for the opponent to run you ober
>>58693496>more candyI forgot, but don't you just get 1 candy from trading?
>>58693455Is it Meloetta?
>>58693524It's the A Thousand Year Slumber misson
Keldeo 2: catch a pomemon 15 days in a row
>>58692616>2x friendship bonus damage in raidsHow much difference does this make?
>>586937762x
>>58693506You get +1 candy if the distance between traded Pokémon's caught location is >10km, and +2 candy with 1 guaranteed XL if >100km.If you're playing multi accounts and doing mutual trades, a straight transfer is only 1 candy with a chance for 1 XL, but a trade then a transfer is 2-4 candies with chances for 1-2 XL.That and the trade rerolls might give you luckies or hundos.
>>58693766>CHEW>SLOWER
>>58693784Basically this
>>58693422Added, thank you anon>>58693455Added as well
what is that +7 hearts from that weekly challenge reward? friendship level?
>>58693766I hate time gated bullshit on every step. I prefer “difficulty” challenges like “x number of Excellent throws”
>>58693354It barely makes a difference anon, it’s one catch a day
Anyone else seeing way fewer event tasks than normal? Are they actually trying to gate Nacli or something?
>>58694164i noticed this too
>>58694096Unironic gay psyops. DO NOT ENGAGE
>>58694159>NOOOOO how could they ask me to spend 1 minute playing this game in which I spent real money NOOOOOReally nigger?
>>58694258that isnt the issue retard
>>58694258Yes, faggot. It cheapens the experience when things are just “do this for x amount of days.” Why is that better than something that actually takes some amount of skill, however small.
>>58694258Niantic bootlicker
apparently tanking early season is a mistake. once i reach rank 12, im up against former high ranks with god tier teams
>>58694264Suck my cock, dude.
>>58694258>catch 1 pokemon>now it is in my best interest to close the game and wait for tomorrow to finish this task>somehow this is a good thing in anons mind
>>58692512The win requirements are cumulative. If you are bad you'll just take longer to get needed wins to get to 20
>>58694812Fuck, that's what I feared
tfw too shy to invite the 3 people I need to raise friendship with to a group>.<
>>58695133invite them. maybe they'll want to meet with you and invite you to group sex.
>>58691771My team right now Foretress, Galvantula and Snorlax. All shadows. 27/50 wins vs battles played this season.
>>58693403Shadow Sableye yes
Looking for friends who like to do pvp. I wont instigate a battle if your status isnt "online" but most of my friends list just do raids and I need people to test teams out on.811338122805
>>58694160Doesn't it apply to the streak bonus?
>>58695058Does this mean tanking is pointless this season? Since no matter how low your “elo” is you still need a certain number of wins
>>58696653No. It's the difference between getting those wins in 2 sets or 8 sets.
The new season is mine.
>>58692523Are you stupid
>>58694258I love when somebody gets so pissed off by replies calling out their shit opinion that they have to reply to everyone
>>58695526Oh, I’m very aware. Notice my wording in >>58694159 and >>58694359. Unironically, though, I know plenty of people locally who struggle at excellent throws. Doesn’t change the fact I’d rather speed through with technique (would that be a better word choice for you?) than time gates.
>>58696653>Does this mean tanking is pointless this season?No, that's how it works every season
>>58697248>I love when somebody gets so pissed off by replies calling out their shit opinion that they have to reply to everyone
>>58694258
So the Kyurem comes with Glaciate, nice.What's even nicer is that the catch circle is green, so pinap and catch them with the first ball. Will probably be fixed so try raiding them asap.
In preparation for December community day, which pokemon should I prioritize evolving for their cd moves? I'd hate for it to end and find out i missed something.
>>58692236Don't forget to follow this guide to get to level 20 asap, it's worth it even if you're not gonna tank
>>58692236how do I lose 25 straight when half the nerds I battle have 10 cp weedles
>>58697577You surrender faster than the opponent.>But muh research task progressionYou will win more down the line.
>haven't played gbl in a while>start match>immediately crashesoh yeah i remember why now
>>58697494Dont bother theyre all shit, unless you missed rookidee day.
>>58697494your shadow whatever this newest bird was
any of these eevee evo attacks mean anything for MAX???
>>58697636Do you have an old phone by any chance? Read that low ram tends to crash the game
>>58697650>any of these eevee evo attacks mean anything for MAX???They don't. In max battles, you only care about mons who are tanks/healers or attackers. The former needs a 0.5s attack to be viable (and doesn't use charged attacks), the latter need to have high attack/have a Gmax form and it's only used during the max phase.
>>58697761yeah like a 10 year old iphone
>Green circle on KyuremChristmas came early
248276112765I know most of you anyway but anyone wanna help me take down a heatran?
>he follows the retard chart everyone else follows>not just taking the 40404 pillngmi
>first kyurem i catch is shiny and for some reason it as glaciategood thing i'm not an iv autist because it's only 10/11/14
This Kyurem doesn't give energy for the fusions right?
>>58698452No, only fusion raids do.Every power creep legendary/fusion will only give you their currency if the raid has them in their special form already, which are usually never saved for week-long raid rotations.
>>58698162You can tank however you want, but you need to reach rank 20 first
>>58697812Time to get a new phone
>>58698465>you NEED to be rank 20 as soon as possible because... you just do ok?enjoy sweating it out against all the other tankers while i effortlessly stomp all the actual shitters
>>58698458I see thanks anon
I will somehow play 100 GBL a day, play the 6 hours of community day and raid hard enough to get a set of shadow heatrans and kyurems
>>58697407One of my wives
>>58698679Very good anon
>>58698942Who are the rest? Garchomp?
>>58697650Glaceon is apparently the strongest ice type attacker outside of gmax lapras
>>58691692As long as you have 8 gigs of ram you should be fine. I have a cheapo grocery store phone as a secondary to kick me out of gyms after a day if no one else does.
Three matches tonight I got clowned on because just as someone starts their charged attack I get a "weak connection", the charged attack goes off, and then they fire another charged attack at me right after. Is this bad server software, or a new exploit?
You can TM frustration away right now>>58699694Kill yourself instead of posting every week when your shit mexican internet craps out
>>58699694>weak connectionThat's entirely on your end.
>>58699694That's a you problem, not a game problem.
>>58699725Your projection moves only work against retard types.>>58699770>>58699784Acknowledged. Rebooted my phone, duels still sucked, will wait until tomorrow when the city's celphone company isn't being extremely French.
>Reached Rank 18, 2 wins from reaching Rank 19>Had some funHow was your first day of Battle Week, bros? I replaced my Zama with a Metagross and I think it was an improvement.
Cool how they broke showing friendship increases
Shiny Dusk Mane and normal Dawn Wings or other way around, what do you think?
>>58699917Fuzing a shiny with a non-shiny is miscegenation, and that’s a crime.
>>58699836To any tanking/PvP bros here, have you noticed they changed the requirements to reach rank 20? It used to be 5 battles, no matter the outcome. Now it looks like it's 15-20 wins.
>>58699836>Casually make my way up the ranks without any real rhythm to it>Eventually end up swimming into dozens of lvl. 50 and lvl. 80 jackets>Still managed to 5/5 rank 15Kinda funny how much Cradily shits all over the meta these days, though it does make me wish Armaldo had some utility somewhere. Roughly 8 years later and they still won't give it X-Scissor or a Rock Blast buff.
Any anon for weekly sexo challenge before the week ends?8995 0679 7105>>58700020It's 25 only for this season.
369188981336please add me i send gifts daily and i need xp please thank you
>>58699452Garchomp, Gardevoir, Lopunny, Charizard, and Tsareena
>>58692236>>58699836What happens if you reach the rank after 20? Can you not tank there? Are the rewards worse?
>rocket battles bugged and can't be completed suddenlybravo scopely
>>58700341The point of tanking is getting to rank 20 as quickly as possible. There's no point in tanking after that.
>>58700670dustlet AND candylet, wew
>>58692236This is out of date, you now need to win 25 rather than lose 5 to go 19 to 20
>>58700933Is the change just for this season or is that permanent?
>>58700422i too am having this problem, but not from balloon rockets
>>58700670Yeah I know tanking is about minmaxing but if I'm about to rank up from rank 20, would there be any disadvantage from that?
a little drama in the wayfarer forumregulars and ambassadors are having a meltdown over the staff helping to reinstate a neighborhood sign
>>58701802Wayfarer anon, do you know what I should do if I want to get rid of a gym in order to create another one closer to my home?The stop I want to turn into a gym already has the most likes in the cell, with +3 months of age, so my question is more about what steps to take to get rid of the current gym. I read that you have to go though the forums but I believe there is an automated way now by submitting pics and explanations on a Niantic website (sort of like a form), do you have any info or guidance on this?
>>58701880well you can just report it in game the problem is what reason you have to remove a gym, they will not budget on any reason aside from that its not there anymore or its unsafe (like literal in the middle of the road unsafe) or if its on someones house
>>58701892To add a bit more context, I already got a gym removed before so I kind of already faintly know what to do (but I did this ~3 years ago and I don't know if anything changed + I don't 100% remember the steps).>Report it in-gameThat will fail 99/100. In fact, that's actually the first step to be able to report it in the forums. You need to receive the email that says that the report wasn't accepted.>ReasonI'm going with the "no longer there" option. I took some pics that look pretty convincing, but I don't know if I have to go through the forum or there's another alternative. The forum is pretty fucky because there are many jannies there who patrol 24/7, hence why I'm asking if this sort of form website (https://pokemongo.com/report-location) actually works or if you've heard about it working.
>>58701912ive never tried, all the removals i have done where just straight in app and they all worked. the reasons i gave were just what i have seen on the forumyour best bet is the app or that report location forum if you go to the niantic forum you will definitely get 3 regulars and 3 ambassadors geo locating your stop before a staff member shows up
>>58701927>all the removals i have done where just straight in app and they all workedVery interesting, I haven't tried using the in-game report system in quite some time. Do you have any "tricks" you used? Last I checked and read, it was almost impossible to have a stop/gym removed because the automated system shut down most requests.>the reasons i gave were just what i have seen on the forumCould you expand on this a little bit more?>if you go to the niantic forum you will definitely get 3 regulars and 3 ambassadors geo locating your stop before a staff member shows upYeah, I remember it took like 3-4 weeks before a Niantic representative said anything in chat. I was lucky enough not to attract unwanted attention from these regulars. I wanted to check what I wrote back then but it seems everything has been wiped (when I entered the forums a couple of months ago it welcomed me as if it had been my first time there).
>>58701943i think you should just try in app, they have a faster response time these days. all my in app reports i selected it was on private property, didnt even write an explanation or add a picture. a few days later i even got an email that my report was rejected, but it still disappeared niantic staff is extremely lenient when it comes to interpreting the criteria for removal. they are usually in favor of keeping rather than removing. you have to go to great lengths to provide evidence to get them to remove something. since your reports is dubious its best to keep trying the in app option to avoid any real person interactionbut staff replies on that official forum are usually faster than that these days like a maybe 10 days at most. but sometimes things get completely ignored and only get replied to after weeks. so if you are super desperate and have extremely convincing pictures you can risk appealing on the forum
>>58701994Gotcha, thanks anon. I'll report it in-game and see what happens from there.
>mfw reached rank 20 but it takes literal minutes to find an opponentSo this is what Icarus felt.....
>>58702218this is why getting to rank 20 asap is fucking stupidrank 20 is going to be only, ONLY tryhards for a week at the least
>>58702227Nah lil bro, it's filled with tankers. It's free rewards but it takes time to get a battle.
>>58702232and what happens when you run into the ~50% chance the tanker is trying to win that game?
>>58702240My elo is around 1800, everyone either quits immediately or throws low CP mons.>B-but what if you battl-I win
>>58702227I feel bad about not tanking, I have to many massive mons for master league and they’re sending me up against shitters that don’t even have mons passed 3k
Any tips on what to prioritise with the big CD today?
>>58703155if you care about pvp then that flower pokemon and toucan sam
Does the december community day still give the legacy moves for the previous year and/or include them in eggs? The overview on serebii and the wiki only list the ones from this year and it doesn't mention anything about eggs having anything different from usual
Cursed by hanke with no shinies for not buying the Keldeo research
>>58691692For bare minimum: I’ve got an old 4GB Moto Potato and I have no issues running the game itself. I just can’t swap to or from another app without the whole thing restarting. Try getting something better than that but don't worry about it. Just make sure it's 64-bits
>>58703297They've let you get the previous year's moves for like the last half decade they better let me fucking evolve my Shadow Beldum for Meteor Mash I swear to fucking god im gonna jump i cant take this shit no more please someone tell me we can oh god please
>>58700177With or without tits?

Catching 17 totodiles and 64 machops today
what's a good ml team for the current meta?are lugia and ho oh still viable?
okay now... THIS is epic
>>58703868https://pvpoke.com/rankings/all/10000/overall/
>>58703297>>58703474Anon, I checked everywhere and it seems that's not a thing this year. Neither the basedtubers nor the official website mention anything about last year's legacy moves
>>58691771Actual expert chiming in, do this.
>>58704426Here's the pvpoke rating for that team.
Is there a way to turn off animations? I have to wait 3 seconds before throwing after giving a wild pokemon a berry because I can't see shit.
>>58704448>Is there a way to turn off animations?No. Some hacked spoof clients ask money for that
>>58704426i swear to god i just faced you 20 minutes ago.
>>58704444who is the lead and safe swap?
whats so special about combat tauros?
>>58704823Cradily lead, corvi switch
>>58704838Region locked, so paypigger flock to it
>>587048441-4 , no thanks. Team sucks. Cant do to Shadow Scizor, Bastidon, Fortress, Empoleon, and got RPS'd by Altaria. Only one the first game because the trainer played like an idiot.
>>58704887Lmao are you the guy I just beat? Cope bro, this team has made light work of every one you just mentioned, no problems here.
>>58704887And if you really did use this exact team and went 1-4 then you just play bad and don't know matchups. Or you used trash iv versions of all 3 and lacked proper movesets.
>>58704894sure you did, sure it does. LOL
>>58704901nope to both. Now who's coping? I had a 66% win rate this season, strictly playing Ultra League, an actual skill league. Thanks for helping me tank though.
>>58704905no one likes a sore loser. just study up a bit and you'll get good in no time, i promise.
>>58704919Look buddy, I'm really sorry your pixels lost, but take a deep breath, everything will be okay. You just gotta practice more. Losing a lot with one of the highest rated teams possible should have been a wake up call, maybe just go back to playing Quest.
>>58704935awwww kid. Dont worry. Im sorry you lost face on a Mongolian Nazi basket weaving forum in front of your internet friends. Im sure one day you'll grow the courage to leave your house and touch grass and make real friends, that we can only hope value your opinion. It didn't happen today kiddo, you'll have more opportunities, I'm sure.
>December CD is so mid that they have to add bacon and larvitar in to convince people to playYeesh. Also nice try, but I already have a standing army of Rampardos, Dusk Wings and Black and White Kyurems so I definitely don't need to play now.
>>58704919>I had a 66% win rate this season, strictly playing Ultra League, an actual skill league
>>58704952>bacon and larvitarHuh?
>>58704945And the cope keeps coming and it don't stop coming and it don't stop coming and it don't stop coming...
>>58704970afraid the projection is terminal
>>58704960kek this, everyone point and laugh at the shitter
>>58704970Holy cringe, go back
>>58704996No. Keep losing, it makes me very happy.
>>58704975lol says the guy who cant win with one of the best teams in gbl>>58704919>ubl>actual skill league>only 66% anywaylol. lmao even.
>>58704426>>58704887I've been using this exact team except with Shadow Feraligatr instead of Azumarill and I've only had a couple close loses while not tanking. None of the Pokémon you've listed gave me any trouble.>>58704919>strictly playing Ultra League, an actual skill league.I've found Ultra League to be the opposite of a skill-based league, which is why I used to tank in it so much. If you're struggling to win in Great League with that team, then you're probably better off coasting with free wins in that league.

>>58705102Ooh good idea, love shadow gator, gonna swap him in and give it a go. Thanks man.
>login to twitch to qualify for the code >login to the rewards site to get the code>login to the store to redeem (saar) the codereally??!???
>>58705196I can't even get to the first part
>>58705134>solar beam checkWdym?
>>58705317You honestly don't want to know
>>58705342But I do.....
>>58705348There used to be a very, very mentally ill schizo (actually schizophrenic person) infesting this thread. Not very bright and was taking it very harshly when people were proving him wrong (especially about Solar Beam), and he never ever backed down and always kept replying. Even after getting banned. Whenever some dumb argument goes on and on, like the one above, someone may be reminded of him.The lore is a lot deeper, but trust me, you don't want to know.
>>58705388Alrighty, thanks for the lore explanation anon
what the fuck is wrong with the game servers
Questin about tankin: So between lvl 18 and 19 you need 20 wins.If I end up losing a game so I can't complete it in 4 sets, do I just continue trying my hardest until I get my 20 wins, then tank the remaining set OR tank the remainder of that set to lower my mmr. What's most effective?
Just look at how happy she is
>>58703748With tits. Huge and gorgeous. Wide hips and thick thighs and fat asses too. Garchomp and Charizard have meaty tails for me to hug while I pound them from behind.
>>58705686I think once you get at that point you just play as hard as you can to win.
for me its FitAs
Think my game is bugged again. 250 ultra balls so far on a 1782 CP Crobat. It doesn't even shake once, escapes straight away.
Hello,Must the pokemon that are granted special moves upon full evolution during this CD have to be caught either today or tomorrow? Or could they have been caught prior to today,Saturday, in order to be awarded their special move?Today, i HATCHED, not caught, a quaxly with 14,14,14 IVs at around 10am est. is this quaxly eligible for hydro cannon if fully evolved before 9pm Sunday?Thanks!
>>58706071Doesn't work
>>58706135Yeah it'll get it. Origin of the pokemon doesn't matter just evolve it between today and tomorrow
>>58705686>If I end up losing a game so I can't complete it in 4 sets, do I just continue trying my hardest until I get my 20 wins, then tank the remaining set OR tank the remainder of that set to lower my mmr. What's most effective?It doesn't really matter all that much. I suggest you try to reach rank 20 asap because the rewards there are better (mainly the encounters). If you follow the usual patter of 4 wins, 0 wins, 4 wins, 0 wins, 4 wins, you will end up slowly lowering your elo and not have to necessarily lose just to do so. You should keep these 2 things in mind:1) Early season rank 20 can be kinda rough because it's filled with either tankers or tryhards (elo 1400-1900, rank 20 master league is fucked rn)2) You need to get 25 wins at rank 19 to get to rank 20 (implemented this season, might be here to stay).
>>58706129Someone got banned....
Damn I missed the first half of community day. I guess I only want a good pvp Florges.
>take one of the 6+ gyms that the same people have been in for multiple days>they kick you out in 2 minuteswhat causes this behavior
>>58707189They probably just want the gym to be their color for no reason.Or they actually want the two bonus balls from gym control when you win a raid.
>>58704122Sweet. Congrats. I never met a shiny, but my anteater girl was the first hundo I caught.

>>58705134
Ive finally reached the point of not needing them so bad I use them as soon as I get them. Now I cant bring myself to use them, just in case.
>>58707626>966/2475itemlet
>>58707189I stopped caring about putting in mons and just clear out gyms wherever I go
I have a Pawmot, Gastrodon, and Toucannon for great league now.Pretty solid team I think.Probably gets rofl stomped by the actual top tiers eventually, but I have good coverage and flexibility. Gastrodon is a solid lead too I think.Anything in particular I would fold too?
>>58707741
>>58707759I'd assume swapping Toucannon for Corviknight would improve my bulk considerably. But then I'd have two ground fast attackers which does kinda suck sometimes.
>>58707607
>>58707189TEAM INSTICT AT IT AGAIN
i know it might be a bad deal but i usually buy those 3 pass + super incubator for 275 pokeshekels
>>58708072if for whatever reason you want to hoard incubators it probably isnt awful
>Did 100 battles day 1 of GO Battle Week>Did 25 battles on days 2 and 3>Leaning towards not doing any battles today because of how boring it isI really hope the fact that this is effectively the first interlude season since they made major changes over 3 years ago is evidence that they're gonna rework the system. Info from Pokemod seems to be implying that they're gonna rework other systems as well (mainly megas), which would be good since the game has felt pretty stale since the biome update (aka the ugly avatar update) a little over 1.5 years ago.
>>58708742>Mega reworkOh fuck. You JUST know they will fuck it up and make some shit worse. They should rework needing 50+ XL candies for max attacks.
>miss CD day>its ok, I'll make it up during decemberyou'd think I'd learn by now to not do this
>>58708843What CD did you miss anon? There were only like 4 this year worth anything.
>>58708875what are you counting to get four?
>>58708922Flabebe, Rookidee and Pikipek were the big 3. Among the rerun CDs the most important was probably Ralts (because of the candy, not for the move), then Toto and Machop. But they were available just the 10 last mins of each hour.
Playing for a year and I finally have the mega-energy to evolve a couple 'mons: Beedrill (14/11/15) and Diancie (10/15/13). Should I wait until I can find 'mons with better IVs before I use a year's worth of saving-up ?
my only prize today is a rank 1 toucannon
>>58708939are those three for PVP autism? the only one I would've said was useful of the new ones this year was sprigatito.
>>58708964no, once you've mega evod one of them, you can walk anything of that species for more energyfor beedrill that's 1km and you're never going to get another diancie so there's no point in thinking about getting another one
>>58708964>Should I wait until I can find 'mons with better IVs before I use a year's worth of saving-up ?No, you should get mega evolvin. Unless you were planning on using Mega Beedrill in battle, you will just use it for the poison/bug candy, so getting a maxed out mega is a must. Talking about Diancie, we're getting the shiny this upcoming Go Tour, so that's your only chance to get another one. We are very likely also getting a lot of Diancie mega energy from the Masterwork Research, so you could Mega Diancie it every other day or so, so that you don't deplete your mega energy as fast.
>>58709014>and you're never going to get another diancieRetard-kun......

>>58709011>are those three for PVP autism?Not exclusively. Florges is a pretty good Fairy attacker and Toucannon is really good as a flying type attacker.>SpringatitoThat's another solid mon.

>>58709038florges is a passable fairy attacker if you absolutely have nothing else, but not because of the cday move, and flying type just isn't that useful outside of megafug, so toucannon being one of the best non-legendaries isn't all that compellingi guess those two would be useful if you were new, but then florges gets immediately replaced because ralts happened, too
>>58709050website says "Starts Saturday, February 28, 2026, at 10:00 AM Local Time Ends Sunday, March 1, 2026, at 6:00 PM" That's 32 hours.

But while we're here, maybe I'm making a mistake trusting the screenshot posted above in thinking it's $10. .... and yknow what? I was wrong a second time.

>>58709429a good design
got rank 1,2,2 from 3 showcasesgot a super and normal incubator ^_^
>>58709441They are rarer than 4* ones. If you care about collecting them, sure (it's not like you will have thousands of them, probably a handful). If you are short on space or just don't care then transfer them.
>>58708875quax and sprig. everything else I got enough shinies of. what I would give for some sort of starter celebration CD day for all the starters. missed out on a lot.
That event was like nothing. It was like breathing. It means nothing.
>>58709511Happy for you anon, I won two and only got lures and some pokeballs u_u
Is swapping out sand attack for steel wing on Corviknight so I don't have two mons with ground fast attacks a good idea?The pvp website says my team will be just as good. But I dunno if I wanna place my full trust in that.
I have become Dustlet. Leveler of Mons.
Anyone know if dynamax pokemon have boosted shiny rates from events? I got a shiny max eevee earlier but one out of half a dozen battles isn't really a big enough sample size to draw conclusions
>>58710214Corviknight gets much worse with steel wing. Its damage is coming from its charged attacks anyway, if they resist ground it's only 1 damage per turn you're losing out on.
>>58710242I see. I guess if you're gonna have two fast attackers of any type Ground is the one since it hits so much stuff. And 2 of the 3 things that are resistant to Ground are then weak to flying, so Corviknight still has no trouble against them.I just have no replacement for Gastrodon or Furret right now. Well, a Toucannon or Pawmot, but those just don't measure up.
I don't know about you guys, but I had a wonderful time this weekend.
I caught a hundo Skeledirge.I'll keep blastburn on him for now. Just use him for raids. But I heard he's still pretty good for Master League. So I might eventually remove Blastburn from him. I'm not sure.Other than that I got a bunch of good great league mons.
>>58710214>>58710332Anon, fast attacks don't really matter all that much, especially on a PvP Mon whose main trait is being able to spam charge attacks.
>>58710220>2k dustNew player or impulsive retard?
got a hundo tototilde from a lucky tradeready for that mega haha....
In the middle of the rain I catch this
when does the weekly party challenge shit reset
>>587108957 hours
>>58710740I had to level my great league mons.I started playing like 8 months ago.
>>58710854God damn mexican
>>58711440both then
>>58705102great league = who can spam and RPS the most, shitted up by content creator teams for all the idiots who cant team buildMaster League = paypigs who invest in the most powerful pokemonUltra League = Spamming doesnt win, the pokemon actually have bulk (you can actually play out of bad algorithm leads). No EZ mode guides from content creators on how to build teams. Why would you use a so-called no skill league to tank? Why not just put 10 CP in Master League? and then Feast on all the no skilled players in Ultra League. Your logic makes ZERO sense.
Everything I'm missing for a complete living dex, including all forms, costumes, etc (I did have Clone Charizard and Blastoise, but someone logged into my account and traded them to themselves -.- ) Most are just time consuming.
>>58711489>Ultra League = Spamming doesnt winAre you retarded? Ultra League has always been and still continues to be the charge move spamming format. They nerfed Giratina like 5 times because of how powerful that spammy tank was, and even then I used to still 5/5 in ace with it as a lead back when I cared about climbing.>you can actually play out of bad algorithm leadsYou can do that in Great and Master League with like 50 battles-worth of practice, no skill required.>No EZ mode guides from content creators on how to build teams.Have you never watched Homeslice Henry?>Why not just put 10 CP in Master League? and then Feast on all the no skilled players in Ultra League. Your logic makes ZERO sense..Because Ultra League is boring and braindead, I don't need any more stardust or rare candy, and a lot of my favorite cup mons are now top-tier this season for some reason, so I wanna take full advantage of them while I can. I also hate most of the top Pokémon in Ultra League this season and would rather fight Azuumers and mirror matches than these types of teams.
I spent hundreds of rare candy and like 700,000 stardust on shadow Groudons in order to win heatran raids...He jobbed really easily???? Wtf???
>>58711566KWAB
>>58711164wait, is it not based on local time like everything else?
>>58711559Homeslice, like every content creator, barely plays Ultra League. They spam Great League and Master League. There are NO content creator teams spamming up Ultra League changing and defining the Meta. It's full of Free Thinkers, who dont need a guide to hold their hand.Giratina spams and it does NO fricken damage, unlike in the Great League when Not Effective attacks take half the HP. Give me a break. Come up with something better. NVM, you sound really dumb, dont waste my time with moronic takes.
>>58711576Honestly, don’t know. There’s a timer on the social tab for me, though. I would guess not because it’s global
>>58711600>There are NO content creator teams spamming up Ultra League changing and defining the Meta. It's full of Free Thinkers, who dont need a guide to hold their hand.Yes; to most "Free Thinkers", Ultra League is so easy to comprehend that you don't need a guide to figure it out. To me, that suggests it's not a very skill-intensive league, well, that alongside my experience with it.>unlike in the Great League when Not Effective attacks take half the HP.What Pokemon are you using in Great League? In my experience GL Corviknight takes maybe 20% more damage from the average charge move than UL Corviknight. Have you considered investing in a Bastiodon or Carbink? Or even a lvl. 50 Azumarill?>Give me a break. Come up with something better. NVM, you sound really dumb, dont waste my time with moronic takes....Okay.
>>58711610>I would guess not because it’s globalOh, duh, yeah, that makes sense. Still would be nice if I could actually get a timer.
>remote tradesfinally>new friendship levelfuck! https://x.com/PokemonGoApp/status/1998136849638801469?t=CFXdEVz_fcoxlsn8Vl6dFg&s=19
>>58710236Don't remember lil nigga, but I think it's boosted during certain events (like the Eevee weekend we had).
>>58711489>Master League = paypigs who invest in the most powerful pokemonMaster League is the least paypiggy league because the mons that you use there are generally also top tier raid attacker, so by investing in them you also invest in the PvP league. Ultra League is THE definite paypigger league because most (pvp shit) mons need to be lvl 50, at least Great Leagues Mons are cheaper.

>Lunatone dayI straight up do not care

>>58711804>can only remote trade mons from the last thirty daysSo this isn’t how I get my lucky shiny gen 5 dragons? Then why do I care?
>>58712171Read again.It has to be a Pokemon OLDER than 30 days.
>>58712179Alright nvm any of you niggas that are frens with bladehey get your shiny reshirams or zekroms ready
Where’s my invites
>>58709429Okayish tank for dynamax if you are a new player and don't have a Blissey or any of the dogs.Good in master league premier if you care about that.
>lucky friends with seven (7) /pgg/ersholy based
>>58711858From the sound of it, it seems like its just the same restrictions as normal trades with a 30-day wait time slapped on, right? Hopefully meltan/melmetal will still be tradeable, all the shiny ones I got had terrible stats and who knows when they'll let it out of shiny-lock jail againThe way they phrased the new friendship rank stuff is kinda wonky, so is remote trading something that you randomly unlock like lucky trades? Or is it something that you get after a set number of interactions? And how many interactions will it take to reach the new rank in the first place?
>>58711837Ye
>>58711489All 3 have their own meta and play styleGBL - most popular, easiest entry for new players and the highest variety of pokemon you can choose from. Low CP keeps legendaries and mythicals at bay which can lead to swingy one sided battles. It gets the most coverage because the world championships are done in GBL. Any try hard and wanna be who thinks hes got a shot at going to Hawaii for PoGo plays here. Best league for casual games with friends and people looking to take on the world, as theres so mamy options your opps can bring. UBL - Faster paced battles. Swapping and switching out is more strategic here but it has its own meta you can pick up the patterns of what people use. Battles can be one sided with low level legendaries being introduced. These legendaries feel like they ignore ivs and can make battles feel one sided but popular picks are generally spammed alot so if you run a counter meta team, you can do well. Under rated league imo, lots of fun to play but it took me a while to get used to its pace and play style. MBL - Feels most like rock paper scissors. Battles play out in 3 defined acts as the 3 pokemon are paired up and played out. These battles I find to be, maybe not predictable but they pan out in an orderly fashion. Most people bring the same 2 with slight changes in their 3rd choice. Wins are blow outs and losses are landslides. These pokemone are ones the trainer has had for years and built up XLs to max out or recent grabs they paid out of pocket to max out by spamming raids. Armoured dogs totally fucked the meta and now every list is Zacian Palkia with some random 3rd choice. Armoured dogs shoukd be Mega Master Ball exclusives. Mega Masterball League is way better than standard MBL.
>>58712413I have lucky /vp/anons. Could be more but I stopped nicknaming
>>58712228What's up, pal? We have 22 days until we're best friends. I have a shiny Zekrom I'd be willing to trade. Also, are you a big Zarude fan?
https://x.com/pogo_central/status/1998160239552811051Interesting. Could armored Mewtwo be returning?
>>58712764never ever
>>58711858Can you talk to your pogo friends in campfire?I added a bunch of nips on Twitter and who the fuck knows how to contact them
>>58693422Thanks for remembering n_n
>>58712881Yeah that’s how I managed to get a sweaty pogo player laid on here
>invited to group just as I finish my walk>get spin stops missionbruh
I just realized all the rank 19 rewards are encounters, so there's no reason for me to care about 4+ wins per set anymore, so now I can get 2-3 wins per set without regret that I didn't get to rank 20 by the end of GBW.
>>58710737Some mons have really good fast move threat tho.
Neat
All I do is get ready for gbl, if I see something with over 90% iv for gbl I save it in case its viable someday, and give it the pvpoke movesets when its time. Some of these have never been relevant but I worked on them before I understood what I was doing, but I can always make a winning team now.
Would pvp be better if there was a league with max CP someone between 3000 and 3500?Just out of the range of gazillion CP legendaries, but in the range where bulk doesn't dominante the rankings and where for many mons you prefer hundos over 0/15/15.
make it slave
>>58712699I wouldn’t say a big fan, I just choose a legendary or mega mon and just leave them as a buddy for a while without thinking about it. Zarude is the one I gave the silver bottle cap to as well and I need to have it as my buddy to get the boosted stats I’m going for
