pvp-chat

[acoustic merlin]

because that's still 5 rolls of like 70% for XL which will mean 3-4 usually

Well no, you should honestly be rolling for rare XL in max battles all you can, plus now is a good time to raid (at least use free passes)

You're right that Zacian isn't the best target for rare xl, since it will be in raids eventually

[deft zephyr]

It's dusclops

???

[acoustic merlin]

oh sorry, thought we were talking about the zacian, my bad

[deft zephyr]

Lol dw i was so confused ngl

[acoustic merlin]

yeah 100% nonlegendaries absolutely walk them

[faint raft]

why does dragonite have thunder punch and superpower? Does it have some types that is stronger to it so it need these two to counter them???

[acoustic merlin]

Eh it's from gen 1 where dragons weren't really a thing. Don't overthink it.

[faint raft]

Ah ok ty sir!

[still stump]

Dumbest morpeko player on earth, throwing an electric aura wheel on marowak

[shrewd jay]

[still stump]

But ngl I agree. Im tired of seeing morpekos in this format in basically 3/5 of my set

[mystic rapids]

Hi guys,
i’m looking for ML advice, keep it shadow or purify to a hundo?
Which performs better overall in Master League and why?

[acoustic merlin]

ML purify

[mystic rapids]

Is it because the shadow is only good as a closer?

[acoustic merlin]

No, it's because yours doesn't have 15 attack

[mystic rapids]

So a Shadow Ho-Oh with 13 Attack still lose CMP in all mirror/neutral matchups?

[acoustic merlin]

Shadow doesn't affect attack, it's a multiplier applied to damage

[mystic rapids]

I see, thanks mate. I am also going to save some stardust and rare XL candies

[deft zephyr]

Thats so true

[still stump]

Dunsparce and wigglytuff together should be banned

[deft zephyr]

Nah dunsparce controls the tallonflame

I hate seeing that bird

Morpeko shud be banned forever

Like how is aura wheel so broken

[astral sparrow]

at one point i had dedenne in my team which served as a good check against talon😍

my memory might be muddled cus i don’t pvp as much anymore

[junior quest]

Guys

Is it true that if i reach level 20 in batle league u get the pikachu costume?

[spare umbra]

Which ones better to evolve? For raids mainly.

[quaint fiber]

For raids shadow pokemon are usually better
Gokurakugai 🩷

[spare umbra]

Tyty

[wide ermine]

Had this happen lol

[gentle shadow]

Yes

For this season

[dapper sun]

Hey does anyone know why niantic have removed 20+ lvl in pvp ( sorry because I had not been playing for like 1 years last time I played pvp I was on ace )

[plain lodge]

it's just this season cus it's interlude pvp season , ace veteran legend will come back next season

they just want players to enjoy playing gbl instead of racing for leaderboard rank this season

[gentle shadow]

The reason is because they are working on bug fixes and fixing the game this season, this is the third time they have done an interlude season

[dapper sun]

Oh thanks 👍🏻

[still stump]

True

[violet hazel]

The morpeko animation is broken.

Why does it have to be so long

[deft zephyr]

To make u wait and suffer as you take a truckload of dmg

[warm sparrow]

Domain expansion :v

[terse viper]

Working on this ML plat

[acoustic merlin]

Niantic needs time to think

Give them a break they're just a small indie company

[shy hemlock]

Anyone here have a video or reddit link to tutorial on pvp rank tanking to farm stardust? I can't really find anything other than actually try until rank 20, then tank and then farm wins but like there has to be more to it than that right? I am super new to pvp, and I wanna farm rewards. I am level 42 with barely any top pvp pokemon, been solo mainly in a small town until recently with the remote raid stuff... Any help?

[acoustic merlin]

Would try google image search, there's a bunch of image guides.

Can't link here but google is your friend generally (use web search not ai search)

[shrewd jay]

les goooo

[shy hemlock]

I try and most I am finding are very vague. I'll keep searching around. But is the rank tank strat still good for stardust farming? I have a decent amount of good pokemon they are just low CP, and most are just above 1500 cp so I can't use them in those cups, but too low for the 2500 cup. I haven't seen a 1750 in a while but even still most of mine are around the 2100 area so it will take a lot of stardust to get them up to par for pvp and raiding.

[acoustic merlin]

It's not really complex so not surprising.

The point is to go down in rating to where you see so crappy opponents you can win 5-0 consistently.

[shy hemlock]

So just simply get to 20 (better rewards), do like a full daily limit or 2 of just losing every fights, then farm fights everyday for 5-0 and when I start noticing they are getting harder and I'm losing 3-2 a few times just tank again? I didn't think it'd be that simple tbh lol.

I guess I'll start doing that now than lol. Thanks. Sorry for the dumb question 🤣

[acoustic merlin]

What rank are you now?

[acoustic merlin]

Nah no dumb questions.

Remember that 90% of this game is undocumented

[shy hemlock]

I am at rank 11 I think? I recently went on a 17 win streak and then started getting 2-3 and then hit my limit for the day. Haven't done any in the last 2 days been busy. But I may try tanking all day today and then go for more streaks.

[acoustic merlin]

Yeah tanking all day for a few days is the key basically.

[shy hemlock]

Cool thank you man

[main delta]

@flat ravine @teal granite @sick spear finally first shiny bird

[teal granite]

[mystic rapids]

[mystic rapids]

Sick! Great team👏

[sharp hare]

Thank you 🙏

[past whale]

Zekrom hundo???

[shrewd jay]

what would be the best lead

[fervent breach]

I always end up with this issue. I invest all I have in a Mon and they aren’t maxed out there usually like lvl 43-46 and I run out of candy. And then they don’t come back to raids for a while. Also. I usually don’t have time to raid much kinda week end for maybe 6-10 raids. Cause after that and I have to spend a good amount of money.

I looked on pvpoke. These at this size do 97% of a maxed out pokemon. Because both moves. Same types. And just stat totals aren’t peak.

98% groudon 98% necrozma 98% silver bottle capped palkia. So it will be a hundo soon

[acoustic merlin]

Was there a question?

Grumbling is fine

I love to grumble

[paper swan]

Need help

Ho wanne join raid

[spiral fox]

@paper swan

[paper swan]

How do i start ah raid

I want to start zekron raid

[rustic briar]

You don’t have to spam all the channels, go to #how-to-remote-raid

[fervent breach]

I was just kinda rambling on about the game and how I can’t seem to raid enough and ask what yall thought of the team composition. On paper it has like 3 major flaws but I almost never see them.

[gentle shadow]

Nice catch trainer 🤣

[deft zephyr]

🤔 i mean u were gonna win either way

straight 2 v 3 lol

[gentle shadow]

Who needs all three anyway

[deft zephyr]

Aura sphere into florges is diabolical 🥴🥴🥴😭😭😭

Also calling the chilling water bait, so much aura

[astral sparrow]

how desperate is he in trying to keep all 3 around?

to be fair, i did make a big mistake into his second mon but he gave me some leeway?

also, i should’ve seen through that he has no energy once he switches back.

[acoustic merlin]

• your timing needs work
• why did you bring in the goli instead of corvi vs their gfisk?
• the reason they're switching out is you took switch with your shield so no reason to give you farm

[fervent breach]

100% there is some kind of match making. Cause I have seen nothing but areados on my azzu lead and a freaking obstagoon on my drifblim swap. My gosh this has pissed me off

I seen this 3 teams in a row

I’ve never seen obstagoon in months

I put 1 ghost on and he is back to back on 3 teams

I put a fairy lead and I have been facing bug electric or bug poison leads back to back to back.

My mandibuzz clodsire lanturn team faces nothing but freaking stunfisk all the time.

And I build a team that can have at least play against the common encounters and I get hard core doo dood on

Any ideas on a better team composition?

Here is what I have.

I am just at my wits end.

Every team I build get hard counter

[deft zephyr]

that team seems ok, pvpoke rates it pretty high

stunfisk does beat all of the pokemon

[fervent breach]

I just swapped to wormadam talonflame scrafty

Scrafty has been the let down

The worm and talon combo goes hard.

Maybe a water ground would go well

Ima try a spam quagsire build

Mud shot. Mud bomb and aqua tail.

Pure spam

[fervent breach]

Well pvpoke says it crap

Worm charizard and gastrodon

Pvpoke says individual each are great.

But as a team they seem to fall apart

Idk how

Thick damage and thick

[deft zephyr]

check the matchups it loses against

water types do rlly well into your team

[deft zephyr]

wait blastoise does so well

it could sweep ngl

[gentle shadow]

Don't let pvpoke weigh on your mind too heavily, try out different things and see what works you, pvpoke is purely based analytically and cannot account for what you're actually seeing

[acoustic merlin]

Pvpoke is strictly 1v1 matches

Spoiler, pogo battles you have 3

[mystic field]

Would’ve been nice to have a couple seasons ago

[deft zephyr]

oh yeh is your status like a reference to an anime? merry christmas btw

[vale lark]

Can someone help me get Ceruledge

I need to defeat a couple ghost types

I need to defeat 22😔

[gentle shadow]

It is from Cyberpunk edge runners

[lean jetty]

find a ghost grunt

and lose after beating the first 2 mons

easy

[deft zephyr]

i knew it

🙃

[main delta]

@flat ravine heatran?

[main delta]

bro @flat ravine i just lost a 2302 zek... my highest iv after 70 raids, hit 12/13 excellents and nothing

this game bruh

[flat ravine]

oof, whats that, a 15/14/15?

[main delta]

or a 15 15 14

most likely a 15 14 15

wow @flat ravine just lost another zek 2245

again majority of em r excellents

this game really is smth

[astral sparrow]

tbf its much worse than 2302

[main delta]

no duh, point is that the catch rate is so inconsistent

[acoustic merlin]

50/50, you catch it or you don't

[terse viper]

Anyone been playing holiday cup ?

[teal granite]

Waiting for master league

[main delta]

well yes ofc but its like some pkmn r so jumpy

[acoustic merlin]

Yeah that's the other 50

[main delta]

well in that case ig i got unlucky w that 98

[violet hazel]

Should just be one ball with 90% success rate. ( or just getting the mon you just defeated.. ? Wasting time on 20 throws after each raid is just boring.

[lean jetty]

I only get the same encounter ,…

Over and over again

https://tenor.com/view/rookidee-pokemon-anime-gif-3779844895530362198

[deft zephyr]

like i haven't gotten a legendary yet 😭

[mystic rapids]

Yeah had success so far, winning 75% of my sets

[dapper sun]

Like literally me too

[lean jetty]

Sit down 🪑

[terse viper]

What does it say?

[lean jetty]

bad connection

[terse viper]

What attack is it tho?

What Mon were you using

[lean jetty]

Overheat

Charizard

Double moved

Was just playing for fun

[terse viper]

Nice 👍🏾…is that GL or UL holiday cup?

[lean jetty]

Holiday cup

[terse viper]

Nice

I’m playing that for fun as well

Running double ice and oranguru

[deft zephyr]

🗣🗣🗣🗣

[acoustic merlin]

Kinda bad in this meta, you also need 170 xl more, but def good to unfrustrate and 40 for pve at least.

[deft zephyr]

Good for pve tho

[lean jetty]

not even a hundo?

[deft zephyr]

Transfer

👍👍👍

[past whale]

And?

[lean jetty]

was a joke

max it

[past whale]

Ain’t no way

I was about to go to bed but I said 1 more remote raid

30 minutes ago I did ?tag zekrom in chat and I got the hundo 30 minutes later

[pseudo merlin]

Tags can only be used in #trainer-lounge

[main swan]

anyone know why the game won't allow me to change moveset for zekrom so he can have fusion bolt using elite charge tm?

[acoustic merlin]

Already has?

Works for me

[main delta]

@flat ravine heatran?

[flat ravine]

at work sorry

I rlly need to do some before it turns into cress shortly tho

[acoustic merlin]

I found a hundo heatran but didn't have time to xl grind

[deft zephyr]

Shadow?

Or regular

[main delta]

I got a purifiable hundo

Its a 13 15 15

[flat ravine]

thats pretty decent

[deft zephyr]

Thats a nice rowlet pfp

[flat ravine]

thanks

[deft zephyr]

🙃🙃🙃

[flat ravine]

my best so far

[main delta]

Wait no mb it’s a 14 15 15

[flat ravine]

nah, dont purify that

[main delta]

Really tempting to purify

I don’t rlly like heatran

[flat ravine]

it does have a mega now

[main delta]

I got enough fire type raid attackers

[flat ravine]

[main delta]

Exactly

I alr have a shadow 96 moltres

I think the plan is to wait until it’s out of raids

Cuz I do need some xls

[flat ravine]

u dont have the xls?

man, am I the only one with enough xls for a shadow and alr a maxxed hundo

[main delta]

I have 206 xls

Seen under 50

I have a 15 15 14, a 15 14 15 heatran and now a purifiable shadow 98 heatran

[deft zephyr]

Lol I got a 15-14-14

[main delta]

shadow g

?

[deft zephyr]

Same i got a 14-12-13

Ye

All shadow

[main delta]

I’d keep that

[deft zephyr]

All my normal heatran ran

[main delta]

The issue is my shadow 98 is 14 15 15

[deft zephyr]

😂😂😂😂

[main delta]

besides I alr have good fire type attackers and there is mega heatran soon so 🤷‍♂️

[deft zephyr]

Blacephalon i assume?

[main delta]

Ima wait… see if I can another purifiable hundo that’s worse

[main delta]

Nah shadow moltres

[deft zephyr]

Shadow heatran is stronger tho?

[main delta]

plus nowadays raid counters r so varied

[main delta]

Yes but there’s mega heatran

Plus it’s like u have other ppl in the raid w u

[deft zephyr]

Like in 20 yrs

😭😭😭😭

[main delta]

maybe not 🤷‍♂️

I’d still prefer a hundo legendary tho

5k stardust spending

[acoustic merlin]

Meh you'll probably beat me to 75 anyway, so slow with km

[deft zephyr]

Valid👍👍👍

[acoustic merlin]

Nah I'm good with dust. Had like 40 1k purifies saved anyway

So not really caring if I use 50k 100k or 150k for the rest

[deft zephyr]

I have 8 mil

Idk how y'all get so much, i play gbl too

😭😭😭

[acoustic merlin]

I mean at 8m it's not like you'll ever run out unless you just go wild with pseudo power ups

Dust keeps piling up

[deft zephyr]

Lol true

Im waiting for the power up tasks

I got so much pve shadows rn

[acoustic merlin]

Honestly I'd rather have hundos that I'm missing; giratinas, solgaleo, lunala, reshiram so I could max them out. Got the xl but no good ones.

So I'd drop 3M instantly if I got the hundos

[deft zephyr]

Lol

[acoustic merlin]

I'm also not really pushing with gbl, just playing ML and old UL/GL teams. Haven't built new ones in ages.

[flat ravine]

I have 9.5mil

[deft zephyr]

Pro

[flat ravine]

and I ABSOLUTELY could spend all of it in one sitting

and still not build everything i want to

[deft zephyr]

Do u have the xl candy as well?

[main delta]

I think heatran likes me better

[flat ravine]

sure thing. dm them :)

[flat ravine]

heatran has never liked me. I had to trade for my hundo as i never got better than a 94 from ivs for raids

at least catchrate is 🔥

need to get an xxl too

[deft zephyr]

Thats rlly good

Wow 100% catch rate

[distant pelican]

yooo u amart

[distant pelican]

Bro 😂

[gloomy crow]

Worth?

PvP ofc

[deft zephyr]

Not rlly unfortunately

[gloomy crow]

It has to be a Hundo really?

[deft zephyr]

Just not good in general

😭😭😭

[gloomy crow]

Sad

So I dispose then?

[deft zephyr]

Its a decent budget ice type atker

If you dont have any strong ones

[gloomy crow]

My Hundo Mamoswine is the strongest one I have

[deft zephyr]

Oooh any other ice types?

Shadows r great

So it's like 1pm but I just woke up from a nap and had breakfast soooo technically day just starting?

[deft zephyr]

That sounds wonderful

[deft zephyr]

Ooh what did u get at ikea

[acoustic merlin]

Meatballs and reindeer stew.

[deft zephyr]

Wait u eat reindeer?

I've never eaten reindeer i think

[acoustic merlin]

Yeah got 1kg of smoked reindeer for christmas.

[deft zephyr]

Does it taste good

🤔🤔🤔

[acoustic merlin]

Yeah it's delicious.

[deft zephyr]

Ooh might consider trying

[acoustic merlin]

If you can get some smoked horse it has a similar taste

[deft zephyr]

In the future

[deft zephyr]

I've never had horse either 😭😭😭

[acoustic merlin]

Local butcher used to get these sweet horse steaks

Nowadays just basically grabbing some smoked from the store.

[deft zephyr]

🫠🫠🫠

Still sounds delicious

[acoustic merlin]

Oh yea it's sweet.

Also great since I know people who are really into umamusume.

Azumarill super good he’s carried me to rank 17

[mystic rapids]

@acoustic merlin i need your thoughts pls.

Which one should i use for ML? I’m not able to get a hundo yet😭

[acoustic merlin]

15 attack

[mystic field]

15 attack for charge move priority

[mystic rapids]

@acoustic merlin @mystic field Thank you. I’ll go with the 15 Atk for CMP even if the bulk is a bit lower.

[acoustic merlin]

It's 184hp vs hundo 185hp

You'll be fine

[distant pelican]

Latios would like a word

[acoustic merlin]

Yeah just like it wants meta relevance and isn't getting it

[distant pelican]

its very relevant

???

was here for a month in raids for a reason

[mystic rapids]

Maybe in Mega ML?
I havent encountered any latios in regular ML

[acoustic merlin]

Almost as relevant as wobbuffet in gl

[distant pelican]

@main delta

[main delta]

WOAH when did u get a shundo magne

[main delta]

[flat ravine]

since then it was all downhill

[main delta]

Lemme check my stats, same format as urs

45 hundos

[main delta]

552 shinies

[flat ravine]

best part. tauranga is about 2 hours away from auckland

so idk what pogo is cooking

[main delta]

Max2 is the goat

535 raided that I kept

So I got less hundos than u this yr but more shinies

[flat ravine]

lucky man

well, idk

I think we both care for hundos more lmao

wish pogo have us a stat wrap up

how many raids this year, pokemon caught %

our accuracy on throws for nice - great - excellent

it'd be cool

@niantic get onto this ^

id like to see how horrible my throwing is lol

[main delta]

lol like a Spotify yearly wrapped

That’d be nice

[main delta]

lol I think wild area carried ur number a lil

and yes hundos > shinies

do u transfer shinies ?

I’ve been in a habit of transferring cd shinies. Mainly the ones that in I try harded for, for no reason

[flat ravine]

for sure

[flat ravine]

nope!

[main delta]

before I’d play the entire 3 hrs grind now it’s just get the shiny line or most I can play in 1 hr then call
It a day

[main delta]

Damn u have more than me but I used to have more than u

[flat ravine]

lol

I never used to transfer leges either

but have dumped about 600 this year

especially during Halloween, think I dumped 400 at least

with 3x transfer & increased xl

[deft zephyr]

[upper gulch]

Anyone know if incarnate is good for pvp

[distant pelican]

its not good

[warped wedge]

Keep this a rank 3 Wortortle or just full send the rank 1 Blastoise and use an ETM on it? (I already have a rank 11 Blastoise built for GL).

[flat ravine]

having one with sandsear is rare tho, so grats!

defo build the therian version as its better, but if you somehow get the spare resources id personally meme with it

[main delta]

gotta mirror lucky trade this tbh

[flat ravine]

I unfortunately do not have it

[main delta]

how? it was free during unova

[flat ravine]

but wasnt meant to have sandsear

[main delta]

yes that was a glitch ig

[flat ravine]

sandsear was a bug if you caught it on the morning before go tour

I caught mine on Friday rather than Saturday lol

[main delta]

ah yes

got this pretty rare

then

[flat ravine]

reasonably yeah

49 more days 👀

[main delta]

till kalos?

[flat ravine]

somewhere the last week of Jan

nah, till we go forever lol

[main delta]

wait wdym

[main delta]

oh yes yes

wait when we unlock this new feature

can we do like 100 remote trades?

[flat ravine]

somewhere around the last week of jan

[flat ravine]

no just one

my understanding is its a one off remote trade

[main delta]

wait so just 1 remote trade

and thats it

is it 1 a day?

[flat ravine]

And Remote Trades don’t count as Special Trades, regardless of which Pokémon were traded remotely.

I didn't know this

[main delta]

wait wait but

for remote trades, its a one time use typa thing?

we dont get to do many remote trades? maybe not in one sitting but like one daily?

[flat ravine]

The following Pokémon cannot be included in a Remote Trade.

• Pokémon caught in the last 30 days
• Previously traded Pokémon
• Shadow Pokémon
• Mythical Pokémon
• Pokémon defending Gyms or Power Spots
• Pokémon currently set as your buddy
• Actively Mega-Evolved Pokémon
• Fused Pokémon
• Crowned Sword Zacian and Crowned Shield Zamazenta
• Pokémon placed at Pokémon Playgrounds

[flat ravine]

uhh

I doubt it

otherwise we could do a legendary trade daily with 100 people

also, what is a pokemon playground?

You can keep engaging with your Forever Friends to earn friendship points. Earning more friendship points nets you rewards, including XP and additional Remote Trades. But take note, Trainers can only have one Remote Trade available with each Forever Friend, so consider making that trade before you get enough friendship points to earn another.

@main delta Ability to make a Remote Trade with your Forever Friend.
Note that 90 additional friendship points are required for subsequent Remote Trading. Learn more about Remote Trading.
Note that Trainers can only have one Remote Trade available with each Forever Friend.

The hearts displaying your Friendship level will be replaced by a progress bar upon becoming Forever Friends. This bar tracks your progress towards earning additional Remote Trades.

so you stay forever friends, but after a remote trade you have to get another 90 daily interactions

[main delta]

oh wow

so thats why they gave us these weekly challenges

so we get more hearts faster

so we reach FF can do 1 remote trade

then gotta get 90 more hearts for another remote trade

[acoustic merlin]

Yup

[teal granite]

Jesus thats bad

All that for 1 trade 😂

[flat ravine]

yea

at least the remote trade doesnt use a special trade tho

[teal granite]

That doesnt change anything for me lol

I dont even do those

[sick spear]

Brooooo

I need a xerneas

Why am I red now

Why is January so BUNS

Who cares about thundurus incarnate bro

[silver vortex]

Y’all an’t ready

[lean jetty]

Moments before disaster

[flat ravine]

I agree

[terse viper]

For what

[astral sparrow]

and how exactly are you gonna use these?

[distant pelican]

iv spread?

[distant pelican]

january so goated

[main delta]

How is it goated for u?

[distant pelican]

I dont have shiny torn or thundurus incarnate, fusion raid day and theres a shadow raid day and takeover

Im just looking at it from a glass half full standpoint not half empty

also grookey com day

I love grookey

shiny monkey

i might finally get shundo kyurem after all this time

[main delta]

U never used ur bc on a kyurem ?

And yes ig event wise Jan isn’t bad, just the raids

[distant pelican]

I would never bottlecap a raidable legendary

[distant pelican]

the incarnates may be useless but I like em man

[main delta]

lol what did u use urs on?

[main delta]

i wouldve raided lando Incar for candy but its not in rotation

[distant pelican]

marshadow for gold and shaymin for silver buh I lowkey be forgetting ab it

[main delta]

i do have a hundo tornadus from research that id like to max

[main delta]

but not enough $$

[distant pelican]

Lucky you I dont have that

[main delta]

couldve had the shundo

by now

[distant pelican]

fair enough

[distant pelican]

its so boring tho

[main delta]

eh 6 encounters total

[distant pelican]

defense research sucks

[main delta]

why shaymin tho

only one suitable for sbc?

[distant pelican]

Only chance for the hundo probably but the options were between that and nonshiny meloetta and nonshiny jirachi

they r both maxed out

[main delta]

that melo is pretty good for a sbc

jirachi is good enough

[distant pelican]

id rather use gold on the shiny 😁 if it ever comes back

[main delta]

i see

[distant pelican]

i dont mind maxing another one i just maxed the nonshiny situationally

[distant pelican]

research is brazy

yk how lucky u gotta be for that lol

[main delta]

lol i got a hundo cobalion aswell

unova tour leadup research or smth

but i alr had a hundo cobalion

[main delta]

so i have 2 hundo cobas in 27 encounters and hundo torna in 6

[distant pelican]

Bro u lucky aff, A hundo cobalion fled from me in a raid

ts pmo

[main delta]

coba loves me for some reaosn

i got a 15 14 15 first raid

the hundo the second

took me 26 raids for the shiny tho

stopped there

27 encounter was the 2nd hundo via research

[distant pelican]

Loll

Crazy how that works

Cobalion is a rough raid to justify doing beyond trying for the shiny

[main delta]

I did it for UL

[distant pelican]

Oh the bird tornadus too

that is a big bird

[distant pelican]

Understandable

[main delta]

Is the bird therian ?

[distant pelican]

Ye

[distant pelican]

if u said therian alr I didnt peep mb

virizion loves me

[main delta]

Damn shundo

[main delta]

I think I got my forms messed up I said incarnate

Which is better ?

[distant pelican]

The bird is better

[main delta]

Oh yay

[distant pelican]

i shouldve traded for smt better lol

[main delta]

lol yeah

[distant pelican]

maybe that wouldve been the 4* instead

[main delta]

who knows..

[distant pelican]

same shi w latias

[main delta]

Maybe ur destined to get a shundo viriz

[distant pelican]

Thats a harrowing thought my friend

[main delta]

Latias is tuff tho

The mega is good

is latios better ?

[distant pelican]

Sean u got sm aura twin

[distant pelican]

Ya

[main delta]

what? 😂

oh my fav part about the hundo tornadus is that it has the special move

Bleakwind storm

once I get rich i wanna max it

[distant pelican]

that tour legacy u heard

[main delta]

wdym

[distant pelican]

good goal

[distant pelican]

since it was for unova tour everything got legacy

[main delta]

oh yes yes

Yk what’s even more tuff

I was lowk crashing out cuz I thought I used my legendary hundo luck before unova tour even started

[distant pelican]

What was the series of events again

[main delta]

It was the swords of justices and flying mustache man’s

then kyurems

I ended up getting a hundo landoT w black BG from a remote

2 hundo kyurems, one has white BG from inpersons

[distant pelican]

Thats lowkey crazy

I remember when therian lando was top meta 😆

[main delta]

Yes that’s why I was raiding it

I did

80 raids

Got hundo 65th

I think

[distant pelican]

U crazy

65 is mad lucky

it took me 470 for a kyurem

[main delta]

u wanna hear my odds ?

[distant pelican]

Fs

[main delta]

groudon primal gofest 2023

2 hundos in 10 primal raids

[distant pelican]

thats crazy

did the primals ever get raid day

[main delta]

Then another hundo the next rotation in came around, obv didn’t raid as hard . Did 1 inperson raid boom hundo

[distant pelican]

surely right

[main delta]

yes

It also got a shadow raid day

[distant pelican]

Damn wtf u gon do w all em

[main delta]

[main delta]

My third one is still 2939. Ima max it for my lvl 76 task.

All 3 max megad

[main delta]

[distant pelican]

[silver vortex]

Should I mega evolved the shiny one? Or should I wait to be able to mega evolve, the double XL?

[sterile loom]

i was destroying someone in battles and then this happened? wtf? it's been going on for a minute now. I don't want to take the L but the game is like frozen. I was gonna win the game. smh

[spiral fox]

Shiny

[main delta]

is shadow heatran or blace better as a fire type for pve?

[unkempt pine]

Shadow heatran still wins

Heatran 3, blace 4

[main delta]

ah ty

whos 1 and 2 tho?

@unkempt pine

[unkempt pine]

Mega blaz 1, mega char y 2

[ivory kettle]

M Char Y & M Blaziken

[main delta]

oh u were srs

ty

[gentle shadow]

Lol palmed to death

[ivory kettle]

😂

[teal granite]

Lolliman sucks

Heatran deals like triple the damage in total

[main delta]

u have a good iv heatran no?

shadow

[main delta]

Fighting the urge not to purify this

[teal granite]

Hell nah i had max that

You only lose CAP tie to yveltal and xerneas

[main delta]

not rlly using it to pvp

just raids

i rlly want the hundo tho

[teal granite]

You dont have any other high iv shadows?

A 98 shadow is 1/333 odds

So more rare as a regular hundo

[main delta]

My second highest would be a 14 12 15

2123… rlly thought I had the purifiable hundo there

[teal granite]

My brother is the same boat ☹️

Did like 70 of them

Got all wrong iv combinations

[main delta]

yeah I never did many heatran until I got the 98

then I wanted to get a purifiable hundo so I don’t purify the 98

I did like 14 maybe

[teal granite]

Phundo odds were 1/37

So cant except to much from that tbh

[teal granite]

But purifying that is kinda criminal man

But its your account at the end of the day

[main delta]

Damn

[teal granite]

Mega heatran will demolish all fire type attackers

[main delta]

I just don’t like 14 15 15s and heatran isn’t rlly my favorite

Yeah yk waht

I think I’ll wait

[teal granite]

Thats still my palkia my bro

It aint that bad

[main delta]

Ig. I dont think ima power it up tho rn

Kinda need the dust for the lvl 76 task

[teal granite]

Yeah no rushing needed

Shadow palkia raids are coming

Just letting ya know

[teal granite]

I just checked pvppoke

Thats a rank 2 🥀☠️

[main delta]

whaaat

[gentle shadow]

I respect the spice, fun battle

[main delta]

damn nice

[teal granite]

Shoutout to wimpods dad

[main delta]

when is shadow palk coming?

i need that hundo fs

[teal granite]

Probably the 24th

Shadow raid day is at that date

[main delta]

ooo i see i see

excited for it tbh

jan might not be that bad of a month

[teal granite]

Shadow palkia with aqua tail spamm wins almost all 2 shields

Just wild

[teal granite]

Yeah, if we ingore the ultra beats its alright

[main delta]

the blace?

kinda boring to raid, same as gene and the mustache mans

looking forward to the raid day and shadow raid

[teal granite]

Yeah i dont know how to feel about an 8th comeback of kyurem

[main delta]

lol ikr i dont think ima do the kyurems tho

looking forward to doing more resh and zek, need that hundo

[teal granite]

Feel ya

Zekrom and reshiram are different now man

Probably the best dragons in the game now

They play better as both kyurems

Not gonna lie

[main delta]

i have 3 15 14 15 reshs

and i lost a 98 zek

pissed me off bad

no hundo

did 100 raids for each

[teal granite]

I know how it is broski

[teal granite]

2302?

[main delta]

yes

[teal granite]

That number still hunts me man

[main delta]

ey thats sick tho

[teal granite]

Fun facts, dialga, palkia and zekrom have the EXACT same statts

[teal granite]

Yeah still my only second 98 shiny from a raid haha

[main delta]

i think i have like 3

urs is cooler tho

[teal granite]

Haha thanks mate! I have been slowing down a lot lately on pogo tho

I am not the, " i need 6 of each legendary" guy

[main delta]

lol i cant be that guy

not enough money for this game

i just want a hundo of each good legendary

dialga resh and zek being in that list

heatran is meh but id like to have one

[teal granite]

Exactly my goals, i tried for a third hundo for necrozma and kyurem. REGRETS WERE REAL

😂

[main delta]

i tried and i did it

450 raids each

im done im happy

but i still need some others

[teal granite]

I cant talk about necrozma hahah, i already complained way to much about that

I just maxed a few 15/15/14s and called it

[main delta]

but i mean it worked out for u no? w the bottle caps etc

lol yeah i have like 3 15 14 15s i wanna power up

but idk save some dust

[teal granite]

Yeah the bottlecap saved me

Still never saw a second hundo in 680 encounters

I am never touching them again

[main delta]

u rlly dont need to

it all worked out pretty solid bro

[teal granite]

The fomo did it for me

Necrozma background raids

🥀

[main delta]

yeah i used my bottle cap on bg zaci

fomo here too

and my sbc on my alr shiny 98 palk

just wanted that shundo bad

[teal granite]

Just let me tm man

☹️

Not a single one learns their signature moves..

[main delta]

they most likely wont

lose a lot of $ if they let u tm

all those origin raid days with a chance of a move will be irrelevant

maybe

[teal granite]

Sad, like why give me a shundo in the first place 😂

[teal granite]

Whats next? A chance to purify?

[main delta]

hope not

shadow origins would be crazy

[teal granite]

But how, since you cant tm their moves

😂

[main delta]

shundo palk no move is kinda bad but dialga is better tbh

[main delta]

oh right right

rip frus

[teal granite]

Shadow origin palkia wont ever be a thing probably

Origin palkia with fireblast has actually a lot of play

[main delta]

ig

its still cool tho

but damn i rlly want the altered hundo forms

3 s/hundo dialgas is crazy tho

[teal granite]

Funny thing is

That all happened after raid 650

Nothing before all that

[main delta]

i got 2 rlly good s/bc candidates dialga wise

a shiny lucky 15 12 15 w rot, and a 12 13 14 lvl 50 w rot

so ima just wait for another bottle cap honestly, save the money

but i still want the hundo altered

done with origin

[teal granite]

Yeah, since bottlecaps became a thing a didnt raid anything besides necrozma and kyurem because they had awesome bonuses

(not including shadow raids)

[main delta]

rlly wish they did like sbc for each tour and wild area
