>It's the best super max mega psychic-type, which will matter a lot for raid candy-farming
Ain't that something that the first thing that comes to your mind is MM2's application as a candy XL chance buff. Except that Malamar existed for a longer time and covers dark too.
>the best mega for farming Solgaleo, Lunala, Necrozma and [non-Mega Mewtwo X, if Ray gets super mega] Mewtwo, all of which are relevant in raids and GBL
Solgaleo and Lunala are not relevant in raids (using them as fuel doesn't count), Necrozma only fused. Nobody cares about GBL. Still it's all candy buff and Malamar exists for that reason already and for those who got it, it should be mega4 already by now, while the majority of players likely will have to wait out the cooldown and walk their M2s for a while before they get to that level
Not sure what's your issue with Megengar, I've never used it myself tho (just like MM2)
>how you excluded the fact that Psycho Cut Mega Mewtwo X is the best fighting-type raid attacker for duo/trio parties
He probably never cared about that application because it's too niche to even bother to consider

>Ain't that something
Look man, I don't mind the fact that you spoof or live in a big city or whatever, but if you don't care about how this game works, I don't know why you're replying with all that. The main reason I use megas is for their ability to boost my candy AND make me beat the raid boss in as fast of a time as possible, because I'd rather play the game with two accounts than either drive out to a place where people do raids or download another app just to beat whatever the fuck I want. Not only that, but I think duoing Dialga with Mega Lucarios is fun, I think duoing Shadow Heatran with Primal Groudons and no purified gems is also fun. Not to mention, maxing out Pokémon like Dawn Wings is very important to me because it lets me further get the most out of raids, even if it's just a few extra seconds (which does matter btw), and using the third-best counter that boosts the chance for candy XL over some useless candy mega is infinitely more relevant to me.

Point being, it sounds like you don't take this game seriously, and that's fine, but optimization is important to the way I play the game, and contrary to what you seem to believe, Mega Mewtwo X and Y get the job done when other mons don't.

I'm the most into pokemon go I've ever been since launch, actually working on research and capitalizing on lucky eggs and it's funny because this is the first time none of my friends are on board. I'm starting to think this game was just an excuse to drive around and smoke weed before.

Either you need the XLs, and Malamar is a more efficient and easier to obtain solution, or you need the damage, and Mewtwo is (usually) not the way to go.
If your playing two accounts, Mega Mewtwo is especially irrelevant, since you can easily duo pretty much everything and utilize Malamar and Falinks for easier XLs. Mega Mewtwo would just be a checkbox to fulfill.
Thankfully, X does manage to achieve a win as the best fighting type with duo account playstyle, so I don't think it's completely useless like >>59491361 was saying
But Mega Mewtwo Y is pretty much dead in the water as something you never would really need to use
>Terrakion and Hero Zam are both candy boosted by Mewtwo X and is easy to duo with this set up
>You'd rather have 6 DW Necrozmas then try to squeeze Mewtwo Y in there. So really just better off doing Malamar on any off chance wild darks you catch; no reason to ever use Mewtwo Y as a ghost attacker
And that's really the two use cases for Y, both of which are functionally 0.

Never catching, raiding, or using Terrakion because all Unovan legendaries are extremely ugly and gay looking.

>>59494108
Wow that image from 15 years ago deconstructed me completely, I concede defeat because you posted it, you are very cool
No, seriously, you said that Lunala and Solgaleo are important in raids which is complete bullshit. You didn't specify whichever use (candy boost or combat) you prioritize, now you're trying to spin it in a way that it's actually both while in most cases out there, you may only pick one and you should know it if you "care about how this game works". I shouldn't be explaining basics to you.
>I think duoing Dialga with Mega Lucarios is fun, I think duoing Shadow Heatran with Primal Groudons and no purified gems is also fun
Ok bro but it's not what we were talking about, are you paying attention? If you're tackling Dialga with Mega Lucario, then you're not tackling it with Mega Mewtwo.
I think your entire point boils down to "please stop calling Mewtwo a shitmon, it's very useful in very niche situations such as... how >I< play the game"
Yeah bro I'm happy that it works for you, play whatever way you like, but you're not exactly making a good point and you're getting lost in your own argument. Otherwise you wouldn't have brought up squeezing out a few extra seconds, which you waste by picking the suboptimal pokemon (mm2) for damage. Make up your mind.
On a side note, if you're going to be dismissive of how others play the game, why should others not be dismissive of how you play the game?

>You good man?
...What the fuck are you guys talking about? Am I seriously the only one that plays the game this way? Whenever I do a raid, I always have one question in mind: "What Pokémon should I mega that not only boosts the amount of candy XL I get from the raid, but also helps me the most in the raid?" I don't have enough mega energy to get Mega Malamar to max mega, but even if I did have enough to get it to super max mega, I certainly don't have enough lunar energy (or whatever it's called) to run 6 lvl. 40 Dawn Wings, let alone lvl. 50.

At worst, Mega Mewtwo is a compromise between the benefits of a candy-boosted mega and something like Mega Gengar, why do all of you think that's not useful?

>"What Pokémon should I mega that not only boosts the amount of candy XL I get from the raid, but also helps me the most in the raid?"
Yeah, not really. My train of thought is
>Do I need extra damage to succeed in this raid?
>If No (usually the answer), then choose what gets me the most candy. Whatever Mega 4 I have. If more than one Mega 4s work to get me candy (Say, Mewtwo Y or Malamar), the one with a dual typing is ALWAYS the better one, no questions. Then just don't use it in the raid itself.
>If Yes, I need the extra damage, pick whatever gives me the most damage.
I have never encountered a scenario where I NEED the extra damage to succeed, but decide to just use an unoptimal mega for raid damage for... fun I presume?

...Did I piss (You) off or something? Did me grouping Solgaleo and Lunala in good raid Pokémon really anger you that much, or was it really just the offensive implication that I know more than you? If you don't wanna use Solgaleo for tap tap tap league no one's saying you need to engage with that part of the game. I'm gonna bring my lvl. 50 Mega Mewtwo Y to every Necrozma, Dusk Mane and Dawn Wings raid to ensure I get as much candy as possible, and hopefully that doesn't make me sound like too much of a plebian to you.

The number of balls you get from a raid determines how many item bundles you get from that raid, so it's generally good to improve your DPS however you can, even if you're already putting out subpar damage compared to another mega because you picked one that shares a type with the raid boss.

Not that anon but Malamar is gay and Mewtwo is cool so that settles it as far as I’m concerned. Plus I focused on Dragonite the weekend that Malamar was out and then I did tons in Mewtwos in person for go fest so I had way more resources to put into Mewtwos AND my wife (female) also says Malamar is gay so checkmate but thanks for typing out all that bullshit that I didn’t read

The thing is you're a bit lost, you brought up random unrelated matters like mega Lucario and clumsily defended MM2 until you found the hill you're now choosing to die on, that bringing in suboptimal pokemon for damage is okay where a few seconds matter a lot (according to your own words).
The original point was that MM2 is not that strong, it doesn't live up to the hype surrounding it at all. Since then you've been getting lost in your own sauce that doesn't blend with itself. Either you care about the candy buff or about damage output. It's not exactly a new concept, it's how the majority of raids work. Claiming that you chase after both, stressing how much a few seconds matter and posting a raid reward table while going in with a suboptimal setup is a little silly isn't it? I won't even bother to explain how preposterous is both the downplaying of others' play styles (which matters within the frame of the original argument significantly) or accusations of being upset et cetera. I stand by what I claimed above, it truly is what your argument boils down to. Ultimately the defence is not convincing.

>>59495440
>you're a bit lost
Maybe I should clarify my original point, because it seems like I didn't really explain myself too well in my initial post last thread or the first post in this thread. I brought up Mega Lucario and Primal Groudon because, in my mind, they're ONLY useful because they are good raidmons for getting bonus candy from steel-types and fire-types respectively. Mega Mewtwo Y is the same but for psychic-types. I wouldn't care about them if the only thing they did was allow me to solo/duo a boss.
>Either you care about the candy buff or about damage output. It's not exactly a new concept, it's how the majority of raids work. Claiming that you chase after both, stressing how much a few seconds matter and posting a raid reward table while going in with a suboptimal setup is a little silly isn't it?
...No? Both of those things simultaneously matter, and just because Mega Mewtwo Y isn't explicitly the best in either category doesn't mean it's "suboptimal". Like I said to that other Anon, if using it over Mega Malamar means you get some extra premier balls while also getting the boosted candy XL chance, that's what I think is optimal.
>I won't even bother to explain how preposterous is both the downplaying of others' play styles
Who's doing that? I'm just claiming why I think my playstyle is optimal. I'm starting to think you're only hanging onto this argument because you're the guy I called a retard last thread.
>I stand by what I claimed above, it truly is what your argument boils down to. Ultimately the defence is not convincing.
That's fine, I probably should've been more explicit with my original points. I just didn't think it would cause this thread to freak the fuck out over it.

Generally-speaking you should only use same type mega if you know you can beat the raid boss with it inside or outside of your party (plus whatever help you're getting). Outside of that, you should try to minmax your DPS as much as possible. If you want some estimates on if you're capable of beating a boss or not, Pokebattler can give you decent estimates on how many people you'll need (Estimator is how many people you need, always rounded up to the nearest person).

What is this new skibidi dumb gadget i keep finding with my daily adventure incense, why do they got to add so many updates, I’ve literally been playing for 4 months and I can barely remember what the game was like, let me beat team rocket up in peace with a shiny mega mewtwo…

And does this mean I can put my phone away without a galarian bird running away?

>>59498907
The opposite. Autocatchers will throw one ball at a bird then move on, unless something changed

assuming it functions identically to the GoPlus, if a galar bird spawns it will throw a single pokeball at it and if it misses then it will run away

Everytime. I dunno why people think Mewtwo is worth saving. It's a beat stick that can fire a big charge move before anything else, but it doesn't actually manage to kill anything with it. It's an okay strategy for a closer in a high-swapping match, but if they got two fresh things in the back, why on earth would you throw a match like that.

Technically it'd be the one of the best Little Cup mons if you get the right move on it.
Incinerate / Flying Press is nearly unstoppable. There are only 5 pokemon in the game that beat it (Ducklett, Wynaut, Golbat, Nidoqueen, and Altaria), where Lock-On / Flying Press is an insane snowballer that hard wins against nearly everything, but ends up losing to more mons due to having effectively one attacking type (Things like Skorupi and Drifloon start to slow you down)
Unfortunately, it's been banned every time.

As valuable as you want it to be really.
Community Day Shines typically are pretty common among the player base. Essentially, they have 1 day where only that pokemon spawns and their shiny rate is boosted. As every starter has a community day, they're typically viewed as less valuable.
Though, the last time Charmander had a community day was 2023, so getting one now is pretty tricky.

>So I'll be getting more balls through the work day IG
there's the paradox. you're getting more balls, but you're never getting to use them. raids just use premier balls and you're remote raiding all the time
>and occasionally getting some extra catches/spins while I snack and drink on my walks.
you mean more missed catches and more storage filler. this joke of a gadget only encourages people to run more pokemongo garbage on multiple phones and gives even more advantage to them. this multiple phone epidemic needs to stop, they're obviously going to clog up raids even worse with millions of mules and public charge spots are going to have a thousand more phones doing this stupidly. now if the gadget functioned as a quick catch aid or while stationary and proven to be an active player that would be super but they're trialing dogshit. this company is just doing experimental shit for the sake of increasing revenue. they're just throwing random shit at the dartboard to achieve it and don't care about running the game. literally. nintendo and game freak needs to take their ip back.

>>59501428
and to add on this is exactly the reason all the mon on the field suddenly became hyper shadow aggressive, it is never a gift with this company

Not a fan of that basedfacing ludicolo sticker

And who is to say you'll be getting more balls? If anything they'll adjust the pokestops to give only regular pokeballs to sustain the autocatcher and only at the rate of the autocatcher of the player minimum level so you will get less pokeballs overall and more shit regular pokeballs as rewards everywhere even in the go pass. Call it doomposting and watch it turn into reality because their statistics show that retards are in support of it. They might even decrease the number of spawns in areas and reduce the variety to account for mass autocatchers of other players. They make no guarantees otherwise.

>>59501599
I doubt they'd be idiotic enough to eliminate the free component of the game, when the weekend events like raid days are the big paid component that brings in the whales.
You aren't catching wild Groudon (except in extremely rare scenarios), but you're also not completing your Pokédex through raiding alone.

Yes it's a hundo, but no it's not max CP so you gotta power it up.
It's also max mega Y level, but not super max.
It won't have Counter or Psystrike or Shadow Ball, you need to elite TM it (or maybe catch it during the Max Finale as the research happens to expire after the event).

By the way if you can't afford an elite TM, know that in raids Psystrike is only marginally better than Psychic.
They deal the same amount of damage and requires the same amount of energy, the DPS boost comes from shorter attack animations and cooldowns.
For PvP Psystrike is better in all regards.

It doesn't even break top 5 in use, and probably doesn't break top 10 if you include Zyguard, Zeroara, and Keldeo has high ranking due to their extreme rarity.

>>59501755
Yeah, your casual player that only plays on the biggest events would've done just that, due to the hype machine around Mewtwo and the lasting perception that he's still the most powerful Pokémon ever.

I picked Zygarde because my roll was dogshit and Mega Zygarde's a thing now, but datamining indicates a second Zygarde may be coming.

I caught my in a regular Poké Ball, crit catch on the second excellent throw with a silver pinap. That means I've got 5 master balls now, still haven't used any, nor paid for any.

Also it skipped the animation of receiving the master ball from a special container, I guess because it wasn't the end-reward of the research task.

have they ever given a guaranteed hundo before

I've never had a masterball before. is it true that research encounters can't flee so using it on mewtwo would be a waste? I don't have a mewtwo either and really want it.

should I wait before I claim mine? will it get higher shiny chance during the mega event? and a move?

Excluding the New York invited event last month, never.
Even guaranteed shinies have been incredibly rare, limited to paid research, free special research for shiny Mew and Celebi, and a one-off shiny Eevee timed event research.
Starting with shiny Jirachi, they paywalled shiny mythicals behind Masterworks special research.

There was make-up timed research for Origin Palkia and Dialga last year iirc that was either shiny-guaranteed or heavily shiny-boosted, not certain on that one.

Correct, research encounters cannot flee, so you can hock any Poké Balls at it until you eventually catch it.
Be patient and time your excellent throws if you need to conserve items. Mewtwo is aggressive and has an easy aim, so doing consistent excellent throws is pretty easy.

If you run out of Poké Balls, activating your daily incense will grant you 30 Poké Balls if your combined Poké / Great / Ultra balls are fewer than 30, and you have enough bag space.

The only way you'll fail to catch this Mewtwo is if you don't catch it within the 24 days it has.

However, there isn't any mention about them knowing their special moves Counter or Psystrike, even though one would reasonably assume they would.

This hundo BG Mewtwo is already confirmed to not be shiny locked.
If you buy the deluxe Go Pass for the mega finale, rank 70 has "Increased chance of encountering Shiny Pokémon in all wild encounters during GO Fest: Mega Finale event hours".
I think that extends to field research encounters, I applied this to my level 80 special research Mewtwo encounter during Go Fest last month and it worked for me.

Nope not me.

But I did get this.

So I have to ask was this guaranteed a hundo?

>>59501805
Yeah, circle locking is a pretty essential trick and works globally, not just on raid or legendary Pokémon.

It's annoying as fuck on encounters that hover or move sideways instead of jumping though.
Stuff like lake trio or Tapus are annoying AF.
It's also not very viable on some Pokémon that has lunging attack animations, like Galarian Zapdos, Lugia, Ho-oh. Their targeting circle re-appears before they return to their neutral position.

Other than that, just being patient with throws and getting the timing down for throwing mid-attack animation, should greatly increase your success with catching raid legendaries.

Also the pity system. Each failed catch attempt for bonus raid encounters with premier balls will gradually increase the catch rate by 10%, up to +100%.
So, if you have a limited number of golden razz berries, say 8 berries and 16 premier balls, it's better to use those golden berries for the last 8 throws rather than the first 8.

>>59501783
it was 100% shinies, you'd get as many encounters as raids you did

The former is clearly just playing the game for the fun of it, and using your resources with what makes you happy.
The latter is getting caught up in the hype train and using a very scarce resource for something that you'll barely pull out, or force yourself to put on a GBL team and lose with because it's shit.

or
they did it because it's a kanto mon that they like
like venusaur

My issue with the caps is if you use one, the pokemon can't be transferred out of Go. It's what stopped me from using my caps on any of my actual favorites, just in case EoS comes along and I need to evacuate my favorites to Home.

Well then you got two hundos of your favorite!
If I had two hundo Reuniclus's, that'd be pretty swell. I wouldnt complain

>>59502075
Probably because Go actually modifies the base stats (even though trading actually does that too).

If Go ever hits EoS TPCi will probably step in to make sure your Pokémon don't vanish into the ether and you can move them to Home, maybe without that energy bullshit.
But probably still restricted as to not unleash a flood of hundreds of shinies and legendaries into the economy all at once.

>>59501960
it is
even with stab counter falls behind

>>59502146
adding to this
dynamic punch+ might actually make things different
better wait until it's all said and done with the finale, they might want to fuck over FOMOers one last time

>>59502084
I wouldn't mind if the shiny economy crashed a little. It's a little messed up that Shiny Mew is so hard to get, or other shiny legendaries can't simply be obtained without jumping through a hundred hurdles. PGO really helped out a lot with that, particularly with making stuff like shiny Zacian/Zamenta much more reasonable to obtain, but it's still a pretty wild amount of effort/money to lock stuff behind.

I'm still waiting on shiny Victini.

I've peaked, I got like 10 melting pikachu stickers from gifts today

They are grooming you. BE SAFE.

>Also the pity system. Each failed catch attempt for bonus raid encounters with premier balls will gradually increase the catch rate by 10%, up to +100%.

I thought this was false

>>59501958
Dead since game launched

>>59502191
What even is the point of stickers? I like to send them but I feel this weird passive aggressive push pull like if someone sends one, I send one. Maybe they don't, maybe I don't. I also feel weird when someone saves my postcard if it's not something interesting. I personally enjoy collecting interesting locations and feel kind of bad if I keep sending someone the same old church by my house.

>>59502242
No, the thing smoeone was talking about where you throw away a ton of balls before catching a galarian bird (wild, since they aren't in raids) is false. It's real for raids and things with premiere balls

>>59502246
I pin every postcard bc I love collecting vivillion, idc if it's a monument or a mcdonalds, and I just pick whatever stickers I have the most of to send, I don't like sending stickerless ones

>>59493935
Wait is it still possible to spoof on pc? teach me your ways senpai

>>59502246
I'm sorry anon, I'm not saving any gift or sticker because it takes a lot of time to open gift, save it, watch the gift open, receive the items, press the send gift button, pick a gift, put a sticker, send it, watch more animations

I just pin the gift and unpin it right away.
still getting scatterbugs

Is Barraskewda going to be any good in Great League?
