>>58947666Nice haunted threadWhat’s the platinum medal you never expected to get? I didn’t even realize this WAS a medal until after I finished the research that involved the thing
Now that these new mega raids have been revealed, has it been shown how much mega energy you get per win or how much more CP does getting the Tier 4 mega evo get?
>>58947666Mega Malamar has huge tits
>>58947907I don't the energy stuff but Tier 4 Mega's CP is effectively 2 levels. So a level 50 best buddy Tier 4 Mega would be at level 53.
TWO (2) daily free raid passesbut nothing to raid!!!!!!
>>58948041Super Mega FUG bros WW@?
I got the 99 raid pass for 5.4k coins box but I don't even know if I want to pick it up, I've still got 15 green passes leftHow quickly do you guys burn through green passes? I kinda feel like my coins would be better spent on remotes
DJ goodGlad they're using the saudibux
>>58948263The Marn....
Huh? Why did I get this medal out of nowhere?
>>58948526Seems Niantic fucked up and gave them out early, there's been multiple reports about people getting them early.
>>5894826315 passes is genuinely nothing man.>How quickly do you guys burn through green passes?Probably like 1-2 hours tops during big events with the local community.>I kinda feel like my coins would be better spent on remotesThey would definitely NOT be better spent there. However, this greatly depends on if there is a local community near you. If there is, get the green passes.One thing to note is that the upcoming Tour is shaping up to be kinda ass if you already had good megas, so the 15 green passes might be good enough for this event.
>>58948540I get what you mean but like every recent raid day we've had gives the free raid passes, 6 (free) +7 with tickets (which I usually do buy)Are the green passes better value than the ticket that gives you extra gym passes?
>>58948574>every recent raid day we've had gives the free raid passes, 6 (free) +7 with ticketsBtw, if you save the daily raid pass from the day prior to the event you can get an extra free raid there>Are the green passes better value than the ticket that gives you extra gym passes?They might, but the extra goodies you get from the paid raid day tickets outweigh the extra pass you might be getting. Also, buying coins is a slippery slope.Adding to that, there are some must-tryhard raid days where you are almost guaranteed to need a lot of passes such as Mega Fug/Primals, Origin Dialga/Palkia, the Necrozma fusions or the Kyurem fusions (even more so if you wanna be able to level up your mons).
>>58947666I last played nearly 5 years ago, and recently I felt like coming back, because I have a lot of free time and feel like a lazy bum.But there's new things I'm confused about, and old things I've forgotten or which may have changed drastically. Checked the FAQ pastebin but it seems a bit outdated (no mention of max battles, routes), so I have a few questions:>clearing out the Pokédex?I'm at 2020/2075 pokemon, so I need to get rid of a lot of shit to resume catching. But I remember it being a problem knowing what to keep, and what could have niche uses in some niche PvP bracket.Has anything changed, would I need to re-evaluate all my old shit, and would I use the same methods (IV scanning apps) as before?>Max BattlesThat's the question, basically the entire thing. Are they worth engaging with? It brings me back to the problem of getting more niche pokemon for niche uses.>sizesI remember hearing about this change, but little else. Are pokemon sizes relevant anywhere? Besides being more fucking things to tag and filter in the pokedex.All this metagaming shit is what made me stop playing last time.
>>58949165>storage, pvpProbably the same. I don't do pvp myself but from what I know pokegenie is still the scanning tool you should use. Maybe look up a youtube video or something>Max BattlesI do really like GMax - if you go to a local community ambassador meetup (download campfire) at exactly 2pm or 1:55pm on Gmax days you could probably join with a wooloo and still get the gmax pokemon, then you can build out a proper teamDMax legendaries are cringe though, so unless you know 3 people irl (or 1 other person and you both play on two phones=4 accounts total), don't bother unless you have all the pokemon>sizesxxl/xxs each have a platinum medal you can earn (You need platinum medals for one of the quests to level up between 70-80), though this is one of the harder ones to completeXXL could be useful to keep for showcases if you want to win showcases, which can give stuff like lucky eggs, star pieces etc if you come first. But besides from showcases they don't have much purposeBTW keep your oldest pokemon (2019 or older, maybe even 2020), go make a second account on an old phone and catch some stuff, then trade yourself. Take advantage of the guaranteed lucky trades for pokemon before 2020 (might be worth double checking the exact cutoff by searching online) and get some easy hundos or even shundosAlso get an autocatcher
>>58948526Got one too and bought the global ticket if it matters
>>58948263i don't get autistic for ivs, backgrounds or shinies, so not very fast. only time i'll go on a spend spree though is if i REALLY need rare candies and the legendary in the pool gives a lot, OR there's a fusion energy pokemon in the pool
>>58949165>But I remember it being a problem knowing what to keep, and what could have niche uses in some niche PvP bracket.go to dialgadex and just pick w/e s tier attackers for each type you want to pursue in regards to pve.for pvp, just check rankings per league in pvppoke
>>58949176Thanks anon. Got the app, and have been comparing any that have good PvP IVs to the site (I figure that even if it has good stats, but it's rank #500+, I should probably still get rid of that shit). Made a good dent in the pokemon collection, but there's still 1500 or so to go through. Then I'll go through whatever I kept once again.I'll probably end up deleting some things I should have kept (evolution fodder for medals for instance) but I just want this shit done man, I'm going nuclear>>58949304Thanks for the tip for PvE. I'll just keep whatever has especially high IVs, then check those mons against the rankings and see if any are worth keeping. I imagine my previous usual picks for raids are a bit dated (regular Mewtwo, Dragonite, a Magnezone, Gardevoir...).
>>58949319>dated (regular Mewtwo, Dragonite, a Magnezone, Gardevoir...).>mewtwobest psychic attacker in the game if shadow. if not, then yeah it's average.>dragoniteit's alright if it's shadow>magnezonethrow it in the trash once you get better electric attackers>gardevoiramongst the best fairy attackers in the game. probably the best fairy attacker if you mega evolve it
>>58949325Should have specified the dragonite is shadow, yeahI think I mostly used Gardevoir because Gardevoir a cute, but megas are a thing now so that's cool she might have a use.
>>58949325>>58949328I wish my zacian had a fairy fast move, it's criminalBut yes both gardevoir(shadow, or mega, or even regular) is a solid fairy type and also psychic too
what part of the planet is hosting mega gardevoir
>>58949165Max battles are a failed feature for a few reasons, most notably for not allowing your old catches to take part in them, therefore you won't find many people to participate. On the bright side, there's little reason to care. Most of the time there is nothing worthwhile to battle. Once in a while Toxtricity comes around if you don't want to farm 400 candies to evolve Toxel from eggs. Duraludon was kind of a max battle release but also available from field research during that event. Eternatus was trickier because it was in a special event battle pass, and you would score the most points by doing its gmax battles (which, unlike the rest, don't let you catch the boss). Technically it wasn't necessary to do as points were obtainable elsewhere, but that was the fastest way if you had access to a group of up to 100 players doing them. I spoofed myself for Eternatus and was done caring.
>>58949203Yeah, bought the ticket too
>>58949459>max battles being hot garbage mentionseethe incoming
>>58949459>On the bright side, there's little reason to care.That's a relief, and also the general vibe I got from a quick look online. I didn't really want to get a whole new set of pokemon for something else.>less than 900 pokemon remaining (~1100 transferred so far)Soon..
>>58949459max battles only happened because they are so stingy with raid passes outside of this battle pass event that gives two per spin so they made raid-lite to placate the playerbase that doesnt get to raid enough unless they bend over backwards. max battles are the fallout, not the failed feature. its the bandaid on a gaping wound of a game they refuse to bring in anyone with fresh ideas/views to fix.
Team instinct master race
>only 1 remote trade with a specific person every 90 days give or takewhat the fuck is this
>>58949611You can work on multiple friends at once but yeah it's not great.
>finished feb pass>considering buying the premium track for the coinsi suppose it's worth it at this point
>>58949752how many coins would you be buying from the pass vs spending that same amount on just straight up coins instead
I feel like at this point if you can trade dynamaxers you should also be able to trade shadows
>>58949771dynamax doesn't have a built in feature to change ivs like shadows do
>>58949765I think you get like a dollar more on coins from it than what you spend
>>58949765In my region of NA If you complete the pass, you get 1000 coins total for a 7.99 value. Buying 1000 coins by themselves would run you 9.9 give or take before taxes.
>>58949784two dollars can buy some peanuts
>>58949470>That's a relief, and also the general vibe I got from a quick look online. I didn't really want to get a whole new set of pokemon for something else.I would at least suggest you partake in Gigantamax raids with your local community (found on the Campfire app). You will get a better than normal shiny boosted mon with a cool alternative form + a lot of dust and experience. Also, Max battles aren't that bad once you get the right mons, but getting those requires someone to trade them to you or for you to get them yourself (tedious).
Are we getting any extra free raid passes for the Kalos Tour?
finally lucky, now I want another to evolve...
>>58949957if im gonna fuss over 2 bucks i have bigger things to worry about
>>58950094Yeah that's only 10% of rebuying FRLG.
Should i get the global ticket?
>>58950238Do you want a shiny Diancie which will require months of grinding and a general shiny boost during the event? If not don't bother, the only other things from it are some research for a Xernas or Yveltal and chance to get Unowns X or Y.
super mega raids are absolutely going to be part of the diancie busywork, keep that in mindas well as routes and doing something with zygarde probably.
Are we gonna get a Road to Kalos Tour pass?
>>58950346Yes but there's no news on whats in besides Hoopa Unbound and a Zygarde jacket.
>>58950364Thanks. Also, quick question: If I buy the paid pass a few days into the event, will my paid progress match the free I had or will I have 2 different bars at different levels?
>>58949470don't listen to that retard, no shit his experience sucked as a spoofer, if you live in or nearany major city with any population gmax is genuinely the most fun you can have in this game
>>58949470>1700 Pokémon transferredOne final sweep and I can play the game... Not even going to try with the inventory, I'll just delete ~30% of my berries or something.But one final question, it warns me when transferring XXL pokemon so I kept those. Are they actually relevant, should I bother keeping an array of them? Or is one one or two for showcases (I forget how they work) fine?Also I lied, one other question:Are little cup IV's ever worth considering? From what I can gather the last one of those leagues was 3 years ago?
>>58950471>if youre a cityfag this awful garbage feature can be steamrolled and made a nonissue, its so fun!
>>58950471I'm not a spoofer and I don't live in the middle of the sticks, but I don't think there's a massive, thriving Pokémon Go scene in my area in current year either. My local gym hasn't had activity in 5 days.I don't want to meet up with the 5 local weirdos who still play tbqh, I just want to walk and catch pokemons.
>>58950497>>58950507Holy seethers.
lol lmao even
>>58950546Where can I see this?
>>58950552https://www.serebii.net/pokemongo/pass/gotour:roadtokalos.shtml
>>58950387B-bros?
>>58950387>>58950610I believe your progress will match but I've never bought a paid pass in the middle of the pass so can't speak from experience.
>>58950530?
>>58950387>>58950610If you buy the premium pass you'll instantly unlock all the premium rewards you already earned.
