[elder swallow]

Purify or not ?

[acoustic merlin]

[rain thistle]

[verbal ledge]

Unless ur gonna mega no

[elder swallow]

Idk is it usable in pvp ?

[acoustic merlin]

[elder swallow]

Yeah i think i'mma find another one for mega

[elder swallow]

Is mega tyranitar good in ml ?

Megas allowed*

Thanks you guys for the answer

[verbal ledge]

Not really

[acoustic merlin]

It gets dragon breath next szn tho

Might be interesting

[main delta]

@flat ravine what did I say bro

We r getting kyurem, zek and resh for December

Not surprised

Well gotta lock in now

[languid portal]

@normal hazel u like? 🤩🤩🤩

[warped wedge]

Next season about to be fun 😈

Also have 300+ XL’s for Ludi, just gotta see if it’s worth building.

[gritty python]

that sealeo will be a menace

[warped wedge]

I really hope so. Felt great playing it in LAIC cup, the only downside is that it was not as bulky as a normal one and you can tell the difference like night and day.

[hushed igloo]

Good for Ultra League?

[flat ravine]

oh yeaa

[flat ravine]

pretty sure UL wants pvp ivs?

[main delta]

Dude u buy the shiny Keldeo research ?

I don’t wanna do ts all over again 😭

[plain lodge]

next season ranking is here! corsola still there 💀

[vernal crystal]

Shundo mega

[spiral fox]

Has Azumarill ever been higher on the rankings for GL

[acoustic merlin]

Yeah it's been #1 a few times

Also why did azu go up?

Wow these rankings are ... something

[raven trail]

Would this be good for pvp possibly or should I purify

[acoustic merlin]

Not really and not really

[raven trail]

Alrighty thanks

[violet hazel]

Maybe for pve

[languid portal]

Hell nah 😭

[violet hazel]

This could have potential though

[verbal ledge]

I think this cup was made for me

[acoustic merlin]

This moon was made for Walken?

[main delta]

Did it mention mega yvel or xern for kalos? Or just those 2 legendaries and nothing else in raids?

[distant pelican]

those megas do NOT exist

[main delta]

Damn bruh I might’ve been fed some
Misinformation

I don’t play other pkmn games so I’m clueless 😂

[teal granite]

They got leaked

[main delta]

So it does exist

[teal granite]

According to some leaks yeah

They got leaked weeks ago

And mega zygarde exists now

So it makes sense

[main delta]

Yess but they won’t be available during kalos tour ?

[teal granite]

Nope

Not yet

[main delta]

That might be better for my wallet 😂

[teal granite]

But getting something good wont be a bad idea

[main delta]

yeah I need a hundo xern still

[teal granite]

Shadow heatran tho, i am hyped for that

[main delta]

yes, is that new ?

[teal granite]

Next month yep

[main delta]

DAMN I haven’t checked pvpoke in months

Y is xern good now?

[teal granite]

Xerneas rank 4

Yveltal rank 17

[main delta]

I’m only raiding it cuz I’m done w yveltal

[teal granite]

Both for buffed

[main delta]

Hundo and shiny 98

what got buffed

[teal granite]

Working on it

[main delta]

Wow damn congrats bro

That looks sick

That’ll

[teal granite]

Yeah i dont wanna spend more on yveltal, i have 1200 xl

☠️

[main delta]

lol fr, used mine on my palkia

Not tryna raid more palkia and raid more dialga 😂😂

[distant pelican]

When and where yo

[teal granite]

I have to search for that, but its somewhere in my gallery

[teal granite]

Exactly

[distant pelican]

wdym exactly

I just said they werent in dlc leaks

[teal granite]

@main delta almost used on this

[teal granite]

They were

[main delta]

U alr have that shundo no ?

But no move tho

[distant pelican]

[teal granite]

Yep

[distant pelican]

[teal granite]

Dont need 2 of them

[distant pelican]

I just looked too

[main delta]

Yeah fr

[teal granite]

I cant find them, Google works. They got leaked, multiple leaks on x and on Reddit about them

[teal granite]

• fireblast actually cooks

@main delta got 3 of these

Litteraly

[main delta]

Bro ur luck is crazy

I just got wanted to get palkia outta the way for my raid grind so I can focus on a shundo rot dialga

[teal granite]

☠️😂🫡

[main delta]

Maybe they will let u etm the move..

[main delta]

Prob not its their biggest money maker

[teal granite]

🫡😂

[main delta]

Ur not very lucky w the moves huh 😂

[teal granite]

Dumbest addition to the game ever

Everybody in my area ran out of shiny roar or spacials

It was that or a shiny moltres

So welp

[main delta]

Eh they had to make it diff than the altered

[main delta]

Come to LA, I got like 13 SR Palkias

shiny

But only 1 rot dialga

[teal granite]

Nah thanks man, spacial got nerfed anyways and palkia likes to spamm aqua tails

[main delta]

All set for yveltal for kalos tour. Nothing good for xern yet so I’m happy I can focus on one thing

[main delta]

suit urself 😂 they ain’t going no where so I’ll just use em as trade bait

[teal granite]

Sheeesh

[teal granite]

I ran out of xls anyways lol

I maxed 3 palkias

[main delta]

lol I still got enough xls to max 1 1/2 palkia

Lowk waiting for the hundo altered

got two 15 15 14s the last time it came around

[teal granite]

🫣

[main delta]

yikes bro, I didn’t even do that many for necroz

[teal granite]

Dialga is functional atleast

[teal granite]

Necrozma took 640 for the hundo

[main delta]

Wait palk doesn’t have a func hundo

?

[teal granite]

Nope

[main delta]

That is crazy

[main delta]

Bro thank god I didn’t invest

[teal granite]

What can i say

[main delta]

419 raids and all this

[main delta]

98 king here holy

[teal granite]

I did 120 with wild area, again no hundo lol

[main delta]

Well I mean it looks like everything worked out well for u in the end

just took longer and more money 😭

[vestal coral]

How do u guys get into so many raids?

[teal granite]

Necrozma has to be the worst rng ever for me

[main delta]

Best for me haha 🤷‍♂️

necroz, groudon, yveltal, kyurem, ray

those 5 have always been nice to me

Same for genesect

[teal granite]

Money and time

Thats it

[vestal coral]

Do u solo them?

[teal granite]

Nope

[main delta]

not possible

[main delta]

Man ur hardcore

[teal granite]

Kyurem can be solod tho

[vestal coral]

Well I can’t get nobody to do raids with

[teal granite]

I skipped zacian and zama tho

[main delta]

U can join remote raids here!

[main delta]

u got the hundos alr huh?

I gbc’d global bg shiny zaci. Got hundo zama during gofest finale

117 raids for zama

[vestal coral]

Seems like no one is doing raids rn then

[teal granite]

Yeah, and after necrozma i stopped hard core raiding

[main delta]

yeah.. current raids not the best

[main delta]

fair bro, gotta let the wallet rest

[vestal coral]

Man I just started and I need as many raids as possible

[teal granite]

My top cp mons havent changed for a bit

[main delta]

but I mean December raids r looking good for me

So I’m excited for that

[main delta]

Bro same. I thought abt sbc a shiny kyurem but like, i have 2 hundos alr

no point in a shundo since I don’t even have a hundo palkiaO

[teal granite]

I will do some kyurems because i have Hella XL's

[vestal coral]

I started a month ago how am I doing

[teal granite]

Same can be said about yveltal for me lol

I dont want a third hundo palkia

[teal granite]

Pretty solid for the amount of time

[main delta]

Very good! Joining around wild area is a good time bc of hundos

[main delta]

Same but I just want a third hundo for base form

[vestal coral]

I only got to do wild area for a day which sucked

[main delta]

same here

I had smth to do day 1

[vestal coral]

I want a palkia

[main delta]

there r good raids in December

I want a hundo zek and resh. Another kyurem would be nice

[vestal coral]

I heard primal stuff is coming

[teal granite]

@main delta let me enjoy heatran lol

[teal granite]

Nothing about that yet

[main delta]

Gaaah damn bro

how many legendary hundos do u have? Or shundos

[teal granite]

Yveltal is almost done

[main delta]

So 11/13 of ur shundos r legendaries or mythical

Goddamn

2/14 of mine r legendaries

[teal granite]

Welp what can i say lol

[main delta]

I gotta start trading and raiding shadow legendaries

3 traded… 3 purified

For me, it’s bottle caps and com days

and Gofests etc

[teal granite]

I got 3 hundo purified latios in 80 raids

I was so close

[main delta]

damn

[vestal coral]

U guys should add me and inv me to some raids if u do them I’m always on

[teal granite]

@main delta wanna see something crazy?

[teal granite]

#friend-codes for that

[main delta]

Gah damn

Don’t even have a shadow hundo from a raid yet

[vestal coral]

No one invites me to raids

[main delta]

u think we will get another sbc during kalos tour?

They should do a sbc for every regional tour and wild area, golden bc for gofest

Potential 3 shundos per year 😂

[teal granite]

💯

They are milking the bottlecaps

Thats why i dont bother raiding that hard

I just do shadow raids for cheap hundos

And thats about it

I regret raiding necrozma last time around

@main delta

[main delta]

Good for us lmao

Do 300+ raids for a single hundo and spend all that $ just to pay $15-$20 for a auto shundo

[main delta]

I mean true but ivs could be bad still

[normal hazel]

@teal granite u cannot make this up. 20 games straight no ho-oh. as soon as i put tapu bulu in my team next 5 games ALL HO-OH?

and i used rhyperior once and i get solar beamed

no way

[mystic rapids]

What do you guys mean of this?

[flat ravine]

functional hundo.
When a mon has the same stats as a 15/15/15 as a 15/15/14

a 15/15/14 dialga at level 50 has the same stats as a 15/15/15 at level 50

[main delta]

What @flat ravine said but mind u, a hundo is always “better” and cooler

[flat ravine]

faaacts

the brag on having the hundo is alot cooler than a 98

[mystic rapids]

So are you guys saying there’s no func hundo for palkia because the rank 1 and rank2 palkia has 1 stamina difference?

[mystic rapids]

Also what app is this?

[flat ravine]

pvpoke

its a website, not an app

[main delta]

well dialga has a func hundo at 15 15 14

its diff for every pkmn

[acoustic merlin]

Yes, the lower you are the higher probability of a random moveset.

I once got completely wrecked by a dragonite running steel wing hurricane

[normal hazel]

yeah ik im so ass this season this was at 2700😭

idek

[acoustic merlin]

Another time I just destroyed someone with gust yveltal, since I had 100% forgot to tm it

[normal hazel]

i get terrible matchups

[acoustic merlin]

Fair enough 2700 is high, they're running that to counter... er, I dunno, kyogre and primarina aren't really a thing

[acoustic merlin]

Do you keep a log?

[normal hazel]

like write it down?

[acoustic merlin]

Yeah, what teams you faced

[normal hazel]

triple water

triple dragon

[normal hazel]

palkia, zek, resh

zac, palkia, lunala

prima, resh, ho-oh

zac, palkia, kyogre

shadow rhyperior, palkia, resh

[mystic rapids]

So palkia has no func hundo right because it’s 1 stamina off?

[main delta]

all functional hundos have 1 stamina iv off

its just that its a diff pkmn

all r unique

[normal hazel]

bros an expert

have you been playing gbl lately or you acc quit

[flat ravine]

I just havent played a while. actually planning on playing next season

gotta grind pika Libres

[main delta]

i been quit 😭

but. i am going to play next season for pika libra but after rank 20 im retiring

speaking of pika libre do we only get 1 non shiny one?

[acoustic merlin]

No I mean like all through the day and week

[acoustic merlin]

Yup

[main delta]

ah well in that case i hope i get the hundo 😂

[acoustic merlin]

Seems like a pretty even spread for a set

[gritty python]

note for people playing catch cup:
literally everyone has a fairy or two

[acoustic merlin]

Good catch

[mystic rapids]

Is there an official figure regarding the energy increase on Spacial Rend?

[acoustic merlin]

There won't be until we get new gamemaster on Tuesday

[normal hazel]

oh yeah i was talking about throughout the week thats what i see

[normal hazel]

pretty even yes 20 games it was all teams with at least primarina and 0 ho-ohs, after i switched to hard counter prima i get 5 games straight all ho-oh

[acoustic merlin]

Most people only remember the really good and really bad, so making full logs is really useful.

[acoustic merlin]

Well duh. You already played against the 20 teams with prima hooh, of course you don't see them right after.

[wind reef]

Is it worthvdoing terrakion raid?

On remote

[gritty python]

only if you personally want one, theres better fighting types and tao trio + kalos tour is coming up

[wind reef]

I know i did one remote

Wanted the shiny but no shiny this time

Got shundo mega lucario so

[acoustic merlin]

It's an ok mon to 40 for pve at least

[wind reef]

Ye

[warped wedge]

This was the hardest grind I’ve had in a this game in a long time. Hopefully lives up to its ranking next season 🙏🏽

[wintry echo]

If i start PvP , would this gal do well or is Dragapult not great on pvp ?

[main delta]

@flat ravine do u remember the search string for sbcs?

[desert brook]

It’s strong in limited cups but in open megas struggles quite a lot

*metas

[flat ravine]

4attack,4defense&4attack,4hp&4defense,4hp&!4*&!shadow&shiny

[main delta]

ty, i gotta do some organizing for future bcs 😂

[flat ravine]

xD

[main delta]

lol fr i just wanna know before hand yk

[flat ravine]

[main delta]

[flat ravine]

I saw that ingame lol

[main delta]

The grinch def infiltrated Niantic HQ or smth

[flat ravine]

[main delta]

Palkia won’t be getting the bg?

[flat ravine]

[main delta]

fleeceking said that on a post somewhere

Maybe he’s wrong

hope he’s wrong..

[flat ravine]

actuslly

he may be onto something

no mention of bg. it always has mentioned it in the blog

but ig they also said it was going to contain coins & limited time unlimited incubator

[main delta]

bro bg is the only reason y i keep these trash iv legendaries

[flat ravine]

so maybe they forgot

[main delta]

who knows ig..

[flat ravine]

would be a shame if it doesn't, this bg would be cool

[main delta]

fr.. i hope it does

[flat ravine]

shows the bg in the post for novs

so let's just hope they forgot to mention it

[main delta]

hope they do but who knows honestly

wouldnt be surprised if its intentional

[flat ravine]

dialga with that bg would be sick

[main delta]

[flat ravine]

[swift robin]

lmao sounds tempting but I alr got help 😭 ty

[mystic rapids]

I also have the same. Is it worth powering up?

[main delta]

Does urs have the move ?

[mystic rapids]

Yes. Was thinking to use the SBC on it but instead used it on Zacian

[main delta]

I wouldn’t personally but u can if u want

[mystic rapids]

Fair enough, i will just wait for a better one.

[main delta]

I’d def sbc it when we get another one

[mystic rapids]

Hoping we get sbc and gbc again soon

Anyways, Dynamax lugia is duoable as long as it has its weaker charge move

[bitter niche]

Which is better for PvP, black or white kyurem? And when I get either one what should I do to my team if I’m leading palkiaO SS dialgaO and closing zacian

[acoustic merlin]

Black, now

[lean jetty]

You got both hundos ? origin?

[elder swallow]

Guys, what does "(L)" mean next to a fast move ?

[plain lodge]

legacy move

[elder swallow]

What does it mean ?

[gritty python]

you could only get it during an event or using an ETM

[elder swallow]

Ok thanks

[bitter niche]

They are not hundos

Make sure to have a good Lunala

Best master league mon next season

By far

[main delta]

i have a 14 15 15

😂

[teal granite]

Idk about the breakpoints for lunala tho

[main delta]

not gonna invest in that tho

not enough xls for one

[teal granite]

You did quit pvp anyways right?

For raids all you need is Dawn wings

[main delta]

yeah but im going to get back into it next season for pika libre

then ima quit again

and tbh i dont think getting to rank 20 is gonna be hard 😂

[teal granite]

Lol

I chocked legend this season extremely hard

But it is what it is

I saw 8 rhypheriors today in the 2900s

I top lefted everything

Like what am i supposed to do. I am triple weak to that thing

[main delta]

man my life has been happier after not seeing rhyperior in ML

to convey how cold turkey ive quit ML, i even fast moved mudslap off my own rhyperior and gave it smackdown for pve 😂

but i think im gonna just get pika libre and hope for a hundo then quit

[teal granite]

Bruh

Rhypherior isnt even meta

Thats the weirdest part

Its cheeks

It only hard counters certain mons and thats it

Like zekrom, reshiram and the crowns

[acoustic merlin]

This is why I want dyna rhyperior

Best ground and rock with some bulk, plenty of xl

[shrewd eagle]

don't build triple weak into ryp then 😭

[teal granite]

I mean, at legend elo most people just play with the meta

[shrewd eagle]

ryp is viable into the meta

[teal granite]

Tap tap tap

[shrewd eagle]

?

[teal granite]

Thats what rhypherior players do

Shadow rhypherior is rank 61 man 😭

[shrewd eagle]

mid 40s no?

[slate sonnet]

Dudeeeeee

LOL

Sick

[main delta]

yk what @teal granite id srsly get back into pvp if they added emotes like clash royale

[main delta]

@flat ravine saw ur lugia inv, went to buy MP then it was full

[flat ravine]

ill inv to another on abit. doing a couple shadow latis

[main delta]

I’ll take some of those if u don’t mind to toss some Inv over

Wanna try my shadow raid luck 😂

@flat ravine 12 13 15 damnit.. rlly thought I had that hundo

[terse viper]

You still did it

😂

[terse viper]

That’s amazing

[flat ravine]

this was a nice find

[terse viper]

I need

But shadow

[flat ravine]

yea, i should look through my shadows

[terse viper]

I’ve got a decent shadow

[flat ravine]

I have 0 shadow pikis

I swear I had some

[acoustic merlin]

You probably purified and transferred them for the level req

You monster

[flat ravine]

I did that with a couple, but swear I had a few spare

[violet hazel]

Cd done first try, even have weather boost so it’s one of the five snapshots

Also graded a rank 700 shadow just to have one

Doesn’t really seem to have a spot, wouldn’t Fearow just be better ?

[gritty python]

fearow is just better yeah nvm

[terse viper]

No

Fearow isn’t better in UL idk about GL

But also shadow toucannon is better than regular

[gritty python]

fearow is 149, toucannon is 118 and shadow toucannon is 75 (GL)

my bad

[terse viper]

Was gone say

[violet hazel]

Rank doesn’t really matter

[terse viper]

Beak blast is busted

[true tangle]

how good is lugia for dynamax raids?

[violet hazel]

Like did you see the rank of talonflame

It’s one of the best mons

[gritty python]

how not?

[true tangle]

cool

ty

[violet hazel]

Because it’s how it fits into the meta

[terse viper]

lol talonflame is better than its rank yes but its not one of the best mons

[gritty python]

thats what rank is

[violet hazel]

No

[terse viper]

Shadow Charizard is another example of that

[violet hazel]

Rank is how good it is across the line

[terse viper]

But rank matters

[violet hazel]

But meta is more important

Like if everyone play triple dark, Corsola would suck

[gritty python]

tripple dark would lose most their games, just because it beats corsola doesnt mean its good

[terse viper]

True but …..

[violet hazel]

I gave up on playing Corsola in catch cup because everyone play Fearow and Furret

Issue with toucannon vs Fearow is that it has two flying charge attacks

Fearow has ground and flying

You get walled more easy

[terse viper]

Fearow has more coverage

But lacks the same threat into neutrals

Because beak blast is busted

😂

Especially in great league where everything just dies

[gritty python]

can confirm, it nearly one shots shadow A.ninetails

[azure cliff]

How difficult is it to take down dynamic Lugia and what Pokemon should I use?

[violet hazel]

Pretty hard

You need 4 players

[terse viper]

Or max mushrooms

[flat ravine]

we did it with 2 people and a third only cheering

but we had maxxed tox & zacians

👀

this is cool

[main delta]

was that w me?

[flat ravine]

yep!

im presuming it was ur zaci and it was maxxed

[main delta]

yes everything was maxed aswell as the moves 😂

Just spammed 2 shields and attack

[soft eagle]

v

[median glade]

Best electric for ul?

[plain lodge]

belli

[flat ravine]

@main delta @teal granite @acoustic merlin

3rd raid in

[main delta]

Yoo u gonna purify?

[flat ravine]

no xD

I alr have a maxxed hundo

[main delta]

ah and what I hear abt a mega heatran? 😂

[flat ravine]

this thing has 15 attack. why would I purify :(

[main delta]

Good point

R we gonna get new megas this season?

[flat ravine]

uhh, idk

ive heard about getting paradoxes, idk about megas

[main delta]

What’s a paradox, it’s getting too confusing for me

[acoustic merlin]

They gonna be in just raids eh?

[terse viper]

I’ve been running shadow toucannon, florges and jellicent….ha had one game where my opponent walked right into a 1 vs 2 no shields situation where my toucannon one shotted his nidoqueen and farmed down his low hp greninja 🫣

Shadow Toucan goes BURR

[flat ravine]

thats what id presume aswell, yes

None of them really hit 4k cp sadly

they get to the 3500-3900

[bitter niche]

Special rend takes more energy is it still good

[teal granite]

Yes

[mystic rapids]

Did it go up to 55 or 60 energy?

[silver vortex]

[acoustic gale]

Best part of an unranked season is starting it out by playing auto-wreck in Great League, so much fun.

[mystic rapids]

Oh it’s still top meta then

[warm gale]

Is it worth to invest candy and stardust on pvp mons? Especially those that are lower on the rankings

[limpid mulch]

If you enjoy it, yes

[kind crypt]

Current great league team

[normal hazel]

@teal granite i love this season

[teal granite]

Yveltal master league looks sick 🫡

[terse viper]

Burr

[normal hazel]

its so fun

[regal hedge]

hey anyone have any good recommendations for my gl team. Right now its shadow typlosion: incinerate, thunder punch, and blast burn; toucannon: peck, beak blast and drill peck dont know what to add for my final slot

[plain lodge]

youre aba weak to rock, find ground type for coverage

[flat ravine]

ground makes aba to water

could do fighting

[main delta]

what r the next pkmn that the shadow leaders have?

[flat ravine]

not known

[main delta]

oh i thought it was every season..

[flat ravine]

they never announce them either

[plain lodge]

yea ur right

[flat ravine]

its the kiwis that find out

[plain lodge]

typh and touca not a good duo

[flat ravine]

theyre fine

[plain lodge]

find gastrodon for safe switch

[restive edge]

yo no one in this server will beat me in a 1v1

All of yall getting packed

[acoustic merlin]

What does that mean? We are not luggage.

[valid latch]

What should I replace abomasnow for

Its not the best not idk what there have

[small bramble]

Trying to get back into PvP, would a team of meloetta, metagross and lugia be good?

I don’t have too many options

And would be great to be given some advice

[raven verge]

Ooo don’t need to get legend for the avatar pose this season, and libre

Just rank 20

[regal hedge]

thank for the recommendations

[normal hazel]

are they all maxed

[normal hazel]

keep in mind rank 20 is not gonna be easy like rank 20 with ace, vet, expert, legend. rank 20 is gonna be equivalent to legend this season. ace is rank 17, vet is 18, expert is 19

[terse viper]

Nah haha it’s easy

That’s why they turned pika libre shiny off

🤣

[cosmic shuttle]

Decent first day?

[normal hazel]

oh shii my bad i never played a season with only rank 20. assumed only leaderboard players and legends get rank 20

[terse viper]

Yea what league gl?

[normal hazel]

so i guess everyone and their mom can get rank 20

[terse viper]

Haha you good

I played one before

[cosmic shuttle]

Yeh i only really do gl

[terse viper]

And I didn’t kno anything about pvp and got to 20

The leaderboard players hated it

[normal hazel]

i was gonna say you can top left your way to rank 20 but you gotta acc win some games lol

[cosmic shuttle]

Haven't invested into pokemon for the other leagues so I just stick to great league

[normal hazel]

theres still a leaderboard for this season tho at least?

[terse viper]

Nice I think that’s good lol better than I would do in gl

[cosmic shuttle]

Lost atleast 3 because I forgot my typings aswell

Top team been good so far

[terse viper]

Oh idk tbh before they called this style an “unranked” season and there wasn’t leaderboards

Only the ones for the silph players

[terse viper]

I just play UL

[normal hazel]

hm. they should always do all leagues for first week

i was surprised to see all leagues

[cosmic shuttle]

Ive tried to a few times but didnt really have the pokemon to make a good team

[terse viper]

Im glad starts off with two weeks of UL

[terse viper]

Understandable

It’s expensive

[cosmic shuttle]

Tbf great league isn't always cheap

[normal hazel]

is it all leagues again for 2 weeks?

[terse viper]

Nope

[terse viper]

Nope UL and something else next week

[cosmic shuttle]

Just checked and I have 3 wins in ML, 47 in UL and 1020 in GL😭

[terse viper]

I’m gonna run a set rn

[normal hazel]

yea i wanted to build carbink but then realized its easier to max crowned zacian vs carbink

[cosmic shuttle]

Yeh screw carbink i just avoid teams with it in

[normal hazel]

same with diggersby i think thats also hard to build

[cosmic shuttle]

Yeh like 300k+ stardust thats just not worth it to me

Spend half the season breaking even

[normal hazel]

but then wait till you find out about 575k dust for each legendary for ML

[small bramble]

Nope starting a PvP team

[normal hazel]

can i see your top pokemon? so we can see your options

[terse viper]

lol damn I have diggersby and carbink built for gl

And don’t even play

Shadow murkrow wasn’t cheap either

[normal hazel]

give it to me lol (i dont play GL)

[small bramble]

I’m returning after a couple years so this is really all I got

Planning on investing in a team for PvP

But I don’t wanna waste too much resources

[normal hazel]

do you have candies and xl

[terse viper]

You play ML?

[small bramble]

I have barely any xl but some rare candy

My old team was

[normal hazel]

yeah primary ML player

[small bramble]

Togekiss snorlax and excadrill

[normal hazel]

but i play all leagues

i would do more GL and UL just lacking meta picks for those

[small bramble]

But I think they for powercrept

[normal hazel]

oh yeah thats like a budget special

[terse viper]

That’s sweet….i don’t hate ML like I do GL ….i just stopped playing ML in gbl to focus on being a UL specialist

[small bramble]

Years ago though

I need a new team now

[normal hazel]

UL is fun, i just need more mons for it

[terse viper]

I’ve got a lot built for ML

[normal hazel]

i got regidrago🤣 thats all

no bellibolt or anything

not even ampharos

[terse viper]

Ampharos is bad

[normal hazel]

ya but if u were to play UL rn they're everywhere in early ranks

[terse viper]

Ppl do use it tho

Yea haha

Easy wins in the early ranks

Went 20-5 yesterday with shadow Toucannon, florges and jellicent

[normal hazel]

i have gatr, empoleon, corvi, regidrago, primarina, tina for UL

but i ran a ML team in UL.

shadow rhyperior, prima, palkia-o

[terse viper]

I don’t have Tina for UL yet

[normal hazel]

so this dec, is kyurem, resh, zek raid and max out resh and zek especially they're really strong

shame u missed palkia origin as its top meta rn same with zacian crowned

[small bramble]

Yea

Gonna have to raid probably

[normal hazel]

@terse viper nothing good actually

[terse viper]

There’s some good choices there

[normal hazel]

not pvp ivs though, they are all double moved

[terse viper]

Florges, Regi, emp, auroras

[terse viper]

Aye you winning a lot of cmp

[normal hazel]

nahh apparently not whenever i run into a gatr lol

[terse viper]

Well it has a higher attack stat than most of your good picks

Emp should win cmp over gatr

[normal hazel]

whats a team that can run for what i got rn

[terse viper]

Haha tbh haha I think rly like meloetta, florges, emp/regi

If I had those I’d try that

But also I think regidrago, florges and empol is safer

[normal hazel]

wait i have ttar lol should i try lmfao

it has dragon breath now

i faced one in ML it was hilarious

i almost lost to it too

[terse viper]

Idk lol that’s a rough play

It has so many threats

[normal hazel]

i've never even seen meloetta in UL (i was the one using it)

[normal hazel]

it almost took out my palkia

[terse viper]

My friend has one

[normal hazel]

yea ill try meloetta

[terse viper]

I think I’m gonna build my non shiny lol 😂

[terse viper]

Gotta run confusion fm

[normal hazel]

its not quick attack no more right

confusion got buffed?

[terse viper]

Confusion is the way to go

[normal hazel]

my friend got a shundo meloetta from the research

instant maxed for ML

so lucky

[terse viper]

Last season

[terse viper]

@normal hazel I used it haha one game because I gotta get back to work

Haha was dominant….meloetta lead into annihilape

[urban barn]

having a good start to the season

[smoky pagoda]

#altaria-mega-end-2d

[quiet needle]

Best team pvp:
Hydreigon
Metagross
Togekiss

Agreed?

[mystic rapids]

Hey mate, you recommend i should focus my resources to resh and zek? I dont have all three yet btw and wanting to buld my ML team.

[normal hazel]

it honestly depends on wht you currently have so far. last season since the dragons were buffed triple dragon was strong. palkia, resh, zek

[mystic rapids]

I can max out these - fundo zacian, hundo groudon, 15/14/15 dawn wings, hundo metagross, also o.palkia with SR but with 13/15/13, hundo regular ho-oh

I was thinking of using groudon, metagross and zacian but ho-oh is going to be a big problem.

So i might have to go hard on zekrom

[normal hazel]

zacian, dawn wings, max yes

zek and resh max

[mystic rapids]

Dawn wings still ok even if yveltal is top meta this season?

[normal hazel]

should be

yveltal is only higher by 2 places over DW

with xerneas back its kinda tricky still

[main delta]

@flat ravine u doing any kyurems rn?

[flat ravine]

at work for 15min

then I shall be

[main delta]

yay

[flat ravine]

[distant pelican]

lmk

💯

[main delta]

@flat ravine do yk if the raids r glitched or smth? cuz they all have basically 100% catch rate and the kyurems all have glaciate

[normal hazel]

i can invite you to kyurems and then you solo it ezpz

[main delta]

im good 😂 id rather have ppl to raid w so it goes down faster

[flat ravine]

@distant pelican @main delta heading ofd shortly

[main delta]

ty

[distant pelican]

thx man

[warped wedge]

These teams are absolutely cracked. Personal best start to a season at 37/50 games won.

[kind crypt]

Any recommendations

Mandibuzzz is doing pretty good
I just don’t know what to pair with

[gritty python]

lucario actually works well to get rid of rock/ice types

could also use a ground type for electric/rock

gastrodon is really good rn and you have one

[kind mural]

Should i give this swampert hydro cannon? ITS rank 1 for raid, egg, research (for ultra league)

[gritty python]

don't, just because its the best from 10/10/10 doesn't mean its good

also swampert is #189 for UL rn

[noble plank]

Is he any good

[woven galleon]

Trading is restricted to 100meters. Any cheats are against niantic ToS and are therefore not allowed to be discussed on our server.

[sturdy oxide]

Noted, thank you

[woven galleon]

Nws!

[normal hazel]

reshiram is good yea but get better iv first

[distant pelican]

Hi

[normal hazel]

hey man

[distant pelican]

what you been using

[normal hazel]

just messing around.

palkia/yveltal/ho-oh to rank 11

zacian/palkia/yveltal to rank 14 rn

[terse viper]

Interesting UL comps…what moves on lapras?

I’ve only run a few teams so far….by far best results have been with shadow Toucannon, florges, jelli

Was planning on running a super gourgeist team today

[warped wedge]

It’s SA and IB. Also the Forrtress has Bug Bite for dark coverage, tough Volt Switch is still pretty dang good too.

^played 12 games total with that UL team, have 12 wins to credit for it.

[terse viper]

I’ll try it at some point….im loving my toucannon team too much rn 27-8 with it so far and I wanna run this gourgeist team next

Tried out ludi and meloetta on diff teams yesterday and neither went well at all

[terse viper]

Damn I’d have to burn an ETM to get IB on either of my lapras 🥲

Got dragon pulse on my shadow and SB on my regular

[warped wedge]

Shadow Touc is a menace for my team 😅, I’ve face 3 of them and had to dance around it and manage energy, most of the time I won with 1hp on the Keli for a last second surf. And honestly the IB doesn’t get used much, it’s only for Cradily and Zygars if I’m stuck on them. DP seems spicy but nice.

[terse viper]

Shadow toucan is the most fun mon since shadow gatr lol I’ve ended so many games down 1-0 shields but energy on toucannon and won ….shadow beak blast wrecksssss

[warped wedge]

I assume it’s 10x better in UL. I have a shadow rank 46 for GL and I couldn’t make it work. I got hit by a shadow beak blast on my rank 11 Jeli and it made my jaw drop lmao.

[acoustic gale]

Shadow Beak Blast is insane, I wish I had a shadow Pikipek lol.

I wasn’t powering up a 4/10/3 IV though.

[flat ravine]

@main delta I did a couple lucky trades yesterday

[warped wedge]

You think leaf storm is the way to go for UL ludi? I was looking at the move pool and was thinking Ice Beam might be better for coverage.

[main delta]

That drago is nice!

[flat ravine]

facts, pretty happy with it

its the only shiny one I have

my next best is a 14/15/15 with catch card

[main delta]

Nice bro u tryna get s/hundos of all Regis ?

[flat ravine]

I meeaaann

yes and no

Just tryna max one of each

[terse viper]

Brother it’s so slow….i wanted to do ice beam on it before the rankings came out but then i just ran what was recommended

[flat ravine]

gonna max a couple gigas tho

[main delta]

Ah I see

[terse viper]

Because would be my luck to have weather ball and ice beam into gatr or emp every game

[flat ravine]

u got a name for this guy?

[sick spear]

Yes

Hmmmm

Jimothy

[flat ravine]

sick

I swear ill bb them now xD

[sick spear]

Yes

Thankfully no more kyurem raids

Maybe I’ll raid zekrom

I have Shundo reshiram and my shiny kyurem army

No shiny zekrom

Only regular normie zekrom

[flat ravine]

lol

yeah, I needa raid resh for a better iv

zek idc. have shinies and a hundo

[sick spear]

Is the comday this weekend

[flat ravine]

yep

[sick spear]

Bruh

My final exams are too

[flat ravine]

im gonna keep focusing mostly in sh. heatrans

on the weekend?

[sick spear]

That’s really unfortunate

[warped wedge]

I see, so it’s really an RPS mon… well I just blew a lot of recourses on it 🫠

[flat ravine]

thats sick af

[sick spear]

I need 500 more catches

[flat ravine]

ohh

[sick spear]

Could’ve done it on comday

[flat ravine]

comday would've been perfect yeah

[sick spear]

Does December have comday classic

[flat ravine]

I dont think so

[warped wedge]

It’s all good though it’s a future 5-head move for limited cup metas for UL. At least that’s what I’m telling myself 😂

[normal hazel]

are we twinning dialgas

@flat ravine

[flat ravine]

wha?

oh yea

[normal hazel]

@main delta do u need inv to kyurem in 3 min

i have 2 others but i'm just inviting and dipping. they have lvl 50 zacians and counters

i'd stay but im saving passes for resh

[main delta]

Man it’s been months hurry up and get that shundo

also did u get the silver bc?

[main delta]

Uhh nah ima raid later, kinda in a bad spot
