[languid portal]

I live in a big city so ig its easier for me

[sweet yew]

I literally live in London man, I don’t have the coins to be spending on hella premium passes

London is a prime spot for raids with gyms everywhere

But I don’t have enough passes

[sweet yew]

I try as much as possible

[languid portal]

Manage the resources right

Save up for big events

[sweet yew]

Do yk when the next big event is?

[languid portal]

Gofest prolly

Mewtwo is kinda mid for pvp tho

[sweet yew]

Do u think bottle caps will come back out with it

[languid portal]

Prolly

It better 😭😭😭

[sweet yew]

U think that’s a must purchase?

[languid portal]

Meh ifyw

[sweet yew]

Holy sht bro I didn’t even know this existed

What is that effect?

[languid portal]

Apex

[sweet yew]

What’s that

[languid portal]

Its like a costume version ig

Kinda

It js has the special light around it and has sacred fire++ which does more dmg in raids

[sweet yew]

Ohhh

That’s hard as hell

[plain lodge]

apex cant be bottlecap 🗿

[languid portal]

Gng wut u talking abt

My friend literally silver capped her apex ho oh

[plain lodge]

[regal pond]

Anyone wanna battle so I can get my shiny mew some more hearts ?

Idc to win I just wanna level up my mew

444985858835 if u wanna help out

[civic vector]

Can't you get hearts by using it in battle against the team leaders or rocket grunts?

[terse viper]

It’s a gross purified Pokemon

Should’ve left it a shadow apex

[crisp kettle]

Guys is it rare to have hundo unknown?

[languid portal]

If i could i woulda

But yk im a scum returning player who gota hustle to get these apex

[green star]

PvE question… what’s the more optimal use of 250 candy on Max Chansey as a healer for raids?

• evolve and level up?
• level up max heal 2 times?
• evolve and learn max heal?

[acoustic merlin]

Evolve, level up to 30, max heal at least twice, then you need XL for the 3rd level

[proper iris]

Finishing up electric cup. I got lucky enough to get a great rank shadow earth hidden power luxray that sweeps. Any idea what team would best suit it

[severe ledge]

When is mimikyu gonna be available in pvp?

[lean jetty]

only developers know that

[civic vector]

Given it can be used in Rocket Battles, I presume it'll be when this changed up PvP drops properly.

You know, the thing this season was supposed to open with but was a buggy mess. lol

[acoustic merlin]

The intern handling mimikyu quit so they have to start from scratch

[crisp garnet]

Pain

[ivory kettle]

😂 👍

[crisp garnet]

[ivory kettle]

Gengar does not cry

[crisp garnet]

You're right

[acoustic merlin]

[lofty ferry]

Good mom btw?

for pvp of course

[acoustic merlin]

No

[lofty ferry]

I evolved it

2.7k cp magnezone

Is that good for level 33

[junior trail]

Nah maybe level 20

[lofty ferry]

bro what

🥲

[ivory kettle]

😂

[velvet kelp]

Has anyone else been waiting for a kyogre raid for ages

https://tenor.com/view/choso-choso-jjk-jujutsu-kaisen-insane-going-insane-gif-2924030561674659737

[ionic lagoon]

NAH this fantasy leauge is about to ruin my run

Was just about to reach the highest rank

WHY DID THEY REMOVE GL NOW

https://tenor.com/view/pink-guy-joji-george-kusunoki-miller-filthy-frank-confused-gif-17930381

[languid portal]

What elo?

[ionic lagoon]

It’s the third time in 2026😂

[civic vector]

Oh, is it Ultra League now?

My time has come!

[terse viper]

Cus it’s time for UL

[terse viper]

Yessir best league is baaaackkk

The most balanced league

[languid portal]

🤔

Every time i watch a UL match like 60% of the time it goes to countdown

Them matches genuinely last years

[terse viper]

Everything isnt frail af and it’s more balanced so it’s not an rps fest like GL and ML

[terse viper]

You just have a patience disorder lol

[civic vector]

I have NEVER had an Ultra League match hit timer.

[mystic rapids]

Yo bro, im thnking of running a UL team around zygarde and empolion. Can you pls recommend the 3rd mon?

[civic vector]

Have in both Master and Great though.

Also got a few Shadows now for throwing into Ultra League. Going to be daft and throw together full teams of them just cos for this week.

Plus maybe Regidrago, since I got the 2nd move on it now.

[languid python]

Do I work on purify this guy

For ul league

Will it even go that high

[somber halo]

You'll have to take it upto 2456

[languid python]

Like with candies?

Without purity

[somber halo]

I find Therian forms preform better then Incarnate

[lofty ferry]

Two Kyogres now

[crisp garnet]

How'd your sets go

[crisp garnet]

Its not good in ul

[crisp garnet]

Corviknight

You can just do dragon double steel

Classic line and strategy

[mystic rapids]

How about skel?

[crisp garnet]

Hmm

Team can work but you'll struggle vs some core breakers

But should still work since skel and empoleon are good fairy counters overall

[acoustic merlin]

<@&770285540503191613>

[deft zephyr]

thanks

[gentle shadow]

Smite him

[tiny drum]

Literally getting my ass whooped in fantasy league running empoleon, galarian weezing, and altaria

I tried swapping altaria for dedenne and alolan ninetails with no luck

[crisp garnet]

Damn

[valid horizon]

Fantastic cup. What could be my biggest counter?

Turtornator goes ham here, easily my MVP every match

Gardevoir isn’t putting in the work i’m looking for duoblade is doing solid

[valid horizon]

Swapped gard for sylveyon, lot better.

[tropic charm]

Wait do charm charge energy? When was the added?

[languid robin]

15/15/13 is a functional hundo for Master league, right?

[gentle shadow]

Usually 15-15-14

[languid robin]

L

[gentle shadow]

Not double moving your mons

[tropic charm]

Why is Niantic making PvP worse 😔

[valid horizon]

Candies 😔

[gentle shadow]

Will hurt you more than any counter will

[valid horizon]

Was able to get on a 10 win streak with it so ig its not toooo bad

But yeah, only having 1 charged attk does hurt

[crisp garnet]

[midnight robin]

Worth 100 rare candies to double move giratina?

[acoustic merlin]

For UL?

[iron moon]

V annoyed rn im looking at muk on the pvp sites but none of them have his updated moveset

They dont even show mud slap and sludge on its available movesets

[rocky thunder]

Should I go for the shiny or normal one?

Normal one goes to 1478 at lvl 50 - crazy expensive tho

Thanks 🙂

[quick linden]

Neither. Wait to get a better one imo. Especially if you are using xls

[rocky thunder]

Thanks!

[warped wedge]

That’s kanto Grimer that has mud slap and sludge. Muk runs different moves.

[iron moon]

Maaaaaan

[primal jay]

What’s the best use for a fast elite TM ID A SHADOW GENGAR a good use

[quick linden]

No

[primal jay]

What’s a good use then

[lean jetty]

lucario

or xerneas geomancy

tyranitar smack down

[quasi mist]

Anyone tryna do kyogre raid

[primal jay]

So my xerneas and lucario have those moves already but don’t have perfect ones yet tyrantar seems to be better used as a dark attacker can’t have two fast moves

[terse viper]

Florges

[terse viper]

Been too busy to even do any

[crisp garnet]

Ah gotcha

Got my elo reveal yesterday

[terse viper]

Work, moving, and being in two pvp leagues

[crisp garnet]

Started this season really late

2,400 rn

[gentle shadow]

That's pretty good for just coming out of retirement lol

[crisp garnet]

Gonna be honest, these kids ain't seen nothing

They don't know the bs we had to deal with back then

Try facing a registeel, cress and giratina team

[gentle shadow]

Are you excited for the Tinka flood coming?

[crisp garnet]

My skel is

I have a counter team ready for the meta change and flood of them

[gentle shadow]

Gonna be everywhere lol

[crisp garnet]

Course im gonna build one too

As for in GL?

Not sure if it's gonna be too good there

[gentle shadow]

Special cups it will for sure

[crisp garnet]

I think i have a good answer though, a pick that does well into water and into the incoming tink

And steel

Its a ghost and grass type.mm

Uh.m

Its not trev

But it was a pumpkin?

[gentle shadow]

Gigaton does like 40% to an Azu lol

[crisp garnet]

DANG

[gentle shadow]

It even beats Clodsire

[terse viper]

Who isn’t? Water bullies tink

Haha then can bully those skels ppl think are a great idea

Jelli welcomes these developments

[terse viper]

Jelli licky core

[crisp garnet]

Nightmare fuel

[gentle shadow]

I mean it beats some water types lol

[crisp garnet]

Huh?

Did that update just now?

[gentle shadow]

Dunno

[terse viper]

I’m talking UL

[gentle shadow]

It's rank 5 in ultra

[gentle shadow]

Yeah even in ultra

It beats Ludi in the 0s and 2s

[terse viper]

Ludi is trash

lol

[gentle shadow]

With fully resisted moved though

[terse viper]

What about gatr?

[crisp garnet]

Oh man

The dragons getting their butts handed to them

We love to see it

[terse viper]

Ewww

[gentle shadow]

It can beat Tenta in the 0s

[terse viper]

Turt?

[crisp garnet]

It beats turt somehow

Which is insane

[terse viper]

What moveset Turt?

[crisp garnet]

Dragon claw one

[terse viper]

Dragon claw and bs?

[crisp garnet]

With brutal

Yeah

[terse viper]

Yea that’s a dumb moveset

I don’t run that

[crisp garnet]

Overheat?

[terse viper]

Flamethrower usually

I’m not into debuffing myself

[gentle shadow]

Beats it in the 0s

[crisp garnet]

Ngl imma run that tbh, dragon claw feels pointless

[terse viper]

Huh?

[gentle shadow]

Is that shadow

[terse viper]

Duh

The only gatr

You’re a fool or scared if you running normal gatr

[crisp garnet]

Yall

[gentle shadow]

Normal is bulkier a lot of people have been running it more

[crisp garnet]

How do you feel about the grass and ghost pumpkin

Would work fine wouldn't it?

Incinerate for the corviknight

And tink

And seed for the water

Surely not a bad pick?

[terse viper]

lol 😂 love those ppl

I’m a dragon user

So I love seeing non shadow gatr

That ice beam not nearly as threatening

[terse viper]

Nah fw it heavy

Used it a lot last season

[crisp garnet]

Yeah im seeing some play here

[terse viper]

Haha I’m thinking Zygarde/tink core

Throw in Jelli

[crisp garnet]

Man I'm hyped, my skel gonna be eating good

[gentle shadow]

You should join victory road

[terse viper]

?

[gentle shadow]

Our PvP server

Lotta faction and leaderboard players

[terse viper]

I will after bf battle tower session ends

Rn tho im in 4 diff leagues/tournaments and i manage a team

I don’t rly have time to lock into something else

[gentle shadow]

Ahh no worries

[terse viper]

Oof pallet town UL draft coming somewhat soon as well

[terse viper]

I’m sure a lot of those guys I’m already seeing in the other various leagues I’m playing in

[gentle shadow]

You know rgr?

[terse viper]

Nah

I’ll actually join now

Sounds like a good place to go when I’m bored and in search of random scrims

It’s hard to find random battles sometimes

[mystic rapids]

I’ll try it. Who to lead?

[terse viper]

Florges

[mystic rapids]

Im running chilling water + moonblast on my florg, eq + crunch on zygarde then dp + hc on emp. Are those the right moves?

[terse viper]

I like DV on my florges

Same pacing as CW so throws those non shielders off

But either should be fine

Pros and cons to both

[mystic rapids]

Ok man, ill try DV.
Should i run outrage on zyg?

[crisp garnet]

[terse viper]

I wouldn’t you have two things to counter dragon

You need something for opposing steel

[crisp garnet]

I like EQ on it, if you run into a fairy you can dance around

And eventually land it

Damage is damage

[crisp garnet]

True

[mystic rapids]

Awesome, thanks heaps for the help guys

[crisp garnet]

All good, what rank you sitting at rn?

[mystic rapids]

2200 ish

[terse viper]

Bruh I be running into Steelix still

[crisp garnet]

Ngl, I was thinking of building one, my brother been going off with it

[terse viper]

I have shadow and reg but I don’t like it

[mystic rapids]

Havent played gbl after Ml ended last week

[terse viper]

It’s one of those mons you use and always seem to have the wrong moveset in the end game

[crisp garnet]

Ah felt that, where you needed EQ

You had crunch on

[terse viper]

Well that’s how it is for me

[crisp garnet]

But then where you had EQ

[terse viper]

It’s so frustrating

[crisp garnet]

You needed crunch

Im going to be honest maybe it's just me

But is Malamar overhyped?

I haven't seen many

Like at all

[terse viper]

Dawg it’s OP

😂😂😂😂

[mystic rapids]

Who should i switch if opponent have Emp lead? Like if i swap to Zyg then i think im in trouble later on

[crisp garnet]

Its that crazy?

[terse viper]

Bruh yes

[crisp garnet]

You get it from the grunts right?

[terse viper]

Some say it’s the best in the meta

[crisp garnet]

Rocket event coming up

[terse viper]

Yea

[crisp garnet]

So might be time

[terse viper]

Get ittttt

[mental spruce]

Shadow or reg? I have a decent reg Mal built, have a shadow I still need to finish building

[terse viper]

Shadow

[ivory kettle]

Walrein

[ionic lagoon]

The refs should be fired afer this BS

[warped wedge]

UL Wiggles… can’t even make ts up. Absolutely vile.

[ionic lagoon]

Dont know about those teams for ultra

[tropic charm]

Is a second move on Giratina altered worth it

Feels kinda scary just running dragon moves on it

[magic field]

guys anyone wanna add me as a friend and spam fights all with psychic pokemon team preferrebly weak so i can kill them and keep going so i can evolve mine? please? i can help back with something?

[open hedge]

i can

[open hedge]

check ur dms

[burnt wedge]

yo guys

[slender zephyr]

im listenin

[mortal sphinx]

Anyone want my referral. Logging on for the first time in a while

[burnt wedge]

got a question is a cradily lvl 43 (hundo) enough for some time

i dont have no candy

[slender zephyr]

for.. ML?

[burnt wedge]

nah UL

[slender zephyr]

ehhh... its usable

not very good in UL though

is much stronger in GL

[burnt wedge]

rank 40 is not too bad

ye my hundo is too high if i evolve it its over 1500

[slender zephyr]

yeah, but most mid to high tier gameplay have rank 20+ pokemon lying around all the time

also, the core that cradily's evolution threatens immensely in GL

isnt as present in UL

so it has a much tougher time there

[burnt wedge]

im thinking of playing cradily lead S.Gyarados and Talonflame

[slender zephyr]

shadow gyarados seems quite spicy for UL

[burnt wedge]

caught a 1 15 14 today and i wanna try it bc of that my team switching

[slender zephyr]

fair.

[burnt wedge]

only 2460 though sadly

[burnt wedge]

u think i could switch regidraco for cardily

[slender zephyr]

seems so

[burnt wedge]

but then i have gyarodos dragon breath and regidraco

[ivory kettle]

Skeledirge

[valid horizon]

Is there a way to sort by double moved mons?

[acoustic merlin]

Search for !@move

That's each double moved mon

[left sage]

Anyone got a good team for fantasy cup

I’ve lost over 200 elo cuz this cup is just bs

[normal hazel]

dont play gimmick cups

[left sage]

Well I don’t got anything for ul

I play gl

[normal hazel]

skip the week until GL comes back

its fine to play like a set of the gimmick cup but then when you find you're losing a lot just take a break and wait for your league to come back

[left sage]

So I can still gain my elo back

But

I’m only ace rn

But I’m good in gl tho

[normal hazel]

200 is a lot

[left sage]

Ok

Ik

[normal hazel]

i guess you can keep trying fantasy cup

[left sage]

But the cup is so bad

[normal hazel]

but if you continue dropping i'd probably wait

[left sage]

Everything is weak to everything

In fantasy

Wait can u Vc and try to help me in fantasy cuz I find it hard

[valid horizon]

I love you.

[left sage]

@normal hazel

[normal hazel]

i dont play fantasy, but what team you running? are you running the top meta?

[left sage]

G Fisk empoleon turtonstor

I got more top 10 mons

@normal hazel

[quick linden]

Are you getting RPS’d or making mistakes?

[left sage]

Rps meaning

[quick linden]

You lose lead then lose switch

Triple countered

[normal hazel]

could be RPS tbh gimmick cups usually are RPS but at the same time probably mistakes

[left sage]

Usually yes

Cuz in fantasy

Everything counters everything

[quick linden]

Honestly yeah super RPS

[left sage]

It’s so unbalanced

[quick linden]

That’s why I’ve been building a UL roster

UL feels more free to me

[normal hazel]

all those gimmick cups are RPS

[left sage]

Can u Vc and help me get a ul team

[quick linden]

I’m at the Apple Store so I can’t

[left sage]

@normal hazel van u help me make ul

[quick linden]

Facts

[normal hazel]

what do you have can you ss

[quick linden]

I was running Kommo-O, Emp, Corv

Little dragon double steel action

[normal hazel]

what moveset on kommo

[quick linden]

DT - Hand/Scales

[left sage]

I got nothing for ul

As I said

I play gl

[quick linden]

Dragon tail feels clunky sometimes idk how to explain it

[left sage]

I mean I have a PvP Walrein for ul

[normal hazel]

skip this week, just wait for league rotation next week and you can play GL

[left sage]

It’s gl spring cup next week

[normal hazel]

yeah i dont like DT

[left sage]

And ml

[quick linden]

I wish it had like force palm or something

[normal hazel]

wait one more week after for GL

[normal hazel]

force palm would be good

[quick linden]

Does get metal sound but meh

[normal hazel]

even hariyama has force palm

[left sage]

I’m tryna hit veteran or higherthis season but it’s impossible when I have 1900 elo from losing in fantasy

[quick linden]

Do you count and try to throw on good timing ?

[normal hazel]

season's probably been out for a 1 month and a week, its all good

you have so much time, and more opportunities to hit vet

dont worry

[left sage]

Yea

Do I try one more set on fantas

[normal hazel]

@left sage try recording a match and share it here

[left sage]

Think i got this

[normal hazel]

discord doesnt allow bigger files, just speed it up 2.5x

[left sage]

I keep losing to force palm Lucario so lemme try that

Ok?

Cuz it rlly good against steel

And steel is overused

In fantasy

[normal hazel]

@left sage record a match so we can see

[left sage]

I won’t

Won

Lemme keep going

But how do I speed

@normal hazel

[normal hazel]

get like capcut

[left sage]

I

Ok

[normal hazel]

record a match, if you win dont send just send a loss, can see if its RPS or any mistakes etc

[left sage]

Misclick

@normal hazel I messed up swapping to lucario

I meant to go into corvignihhte

[normal hazel]

still won though

[left sage]

Yea

I think luc might be my main for fantasy

Cuz palm does so much dmg

[willow ermine]

Tbh what wohld work better with this team? ( girtina and togekiss)

Than thinking either magnezone or greninja

[open hedge]

yo bluegorrila

[willow ermine]

Any tips/anything i should swap

[mystic rapids]

I also have a rank two S. gyratos for UL but I’m unsure which team to build around it as my UL team isn’t stock.

[mystic rapids]

There are heaps of florges users in Ul, and that’s going to be a big threat to this team.

[willow ermine]

O

[tropic charm]

I would like to speak to the generational moron that thought it was a good idea to give trailblazer to amphaross

Like why did you want to ruin go battle league? Like electric Pokemon should never learn grass moves

[plain lodge]

because it can lol

ampharos can learn trailblaze in main series too so why not

it's a good recovery

[acoustic merlin]

I just wish they gave gengar and bulbasaur lines poison jab now that they learn them in msg

[tropic charm]

Yeah I know…..but this isn’t the mainline games

[analog saddle]

Guys can i host a raid if i use remote controll myself?

Wrong chat sry

[normal hazel]

thats like ho-oh, flying and fire type with SOLAR BEAM

make that make sense

with EARTHQUAKE

[ivory kettle]

Giratina

[tropic charm]

Gastly learns ice punch

[abstract knoll]

Any usefull for greatleague?

(I ment Aerodactly for Ultra league)

[ivory kettle]

Primarina

[acoustic merlin]

Pro tip, name mons with their rank. You will forget otherwise.

Kinda meh all around.

[abstract knoll]

So none are eorth keeping?

[acoustic merlin]

I don't know their ranks, if they're good why not keep if you're not out of space.

I'm a hoarder, so I will keep good pvp ivs of everything

[abstract knoll]

I like to deleate everything that i won't use. Still a big thank you for your time

[acoustic merlin]

Np

[acoustic merlin]

Like of those bus, g poke, mimikyu are things I'd keep even with low space

[abstract knoll]

Ok

[west palm]

Should i level it and evolve it to use in master leugue or ultra leugue

[acoustic merlin]

Dex filler. Nice to have but meh

[west palm]

😢

So its useless

[acoustic merlin]

I mean it's nice

[terse viper]

Some shi id do

@crisp garnet @warped wedge @mystic rapids 14-1 today with this up to 2553 elo

[quick linden]

Next season they need to make charm a yawn clone. I never want to see that fat pink anus again

Bombirdier is sick

[terse viper]

Wing attack Bombirdier

[quick linden]

Damn nice dude

I’m trying to build my UL roster

Just expensive

[terse viper]

Def

I’m legit just running diff combo of 3’s from a UL draft I just finished 😂 this one rly hittin

[warped wedge]

Team looks fun, wing attack really the move instead of sucker punch?

Might throw it on G-Mol if so.

[warped wedge]

Also better to run it now, UL about to rampant with Tink.

[terse viper]

Yea got a plan for tink hell ima make sure when tink is in the back they top left

[warped wedge]

Brining out the turt?

[terse viper]

It’s better pacing and presses florges and annihilape better

[terse viper]

Yupp with jelli and licky

I’m also gonna use tink lol

[ivory kettle]

Bi lol

[terse viper]

I have a hundo tink built already so ima victimize those high rank users

[warped wedge]

Oh I’m gonna use it as well. But I’m gonna be running anti-meta as soon as I get tired of it lmao. Been running shadow Galvantula lately and have been anticipating the tink/ water lines that are bound to be common soon.

[terse viper]

Double nuke licky finna pop off for those tink/jelli teams

[warped wedge]

Double nuke? Thats sounds so much better than body slam spam 👀

[terse viper]

I refuse to run bs on my licky

Move is dog shet

Maybe when we get shadow licky I’ll use it

[warped wedge]

I said that in an Irish accent in my head 😂

Shadow licky will be a menace.

[patent jasper]

Should I use regieleki for 2500 pvp?

[terse viper]

Sure

[mystic rapids]

Good on you mate! How do you handle florges lead?

[terse viper]

I play it out because 90% of ppl running water and grass cms

Kyurem wins cmp

Half of those ppl pivot out of the matchup with energy loaded before the second glaciate

[mystic rapids]

I want to try it out but dont have bombirdier. Will g.moltres work?

@terse viper what do you think of this team? I dont have a good water mon to team up with tink.

https://pvpoke.com/team-builder/all/2500/tinkaton-50-12-15-15-4-4-1-1-m-0-3-1%2Cmoltres_galarian-29.5-4-11-11-4-4-1-1-m-0-2-3%2Cmewtwo_armored-29.5-4-10-11-4-4-1-1-m-0-4-1

[terse viper]

It’s fine unless you see another tink misaligned

So I’d prolly not lead tink

[mystic rapids]

After playing it out, you bring in mewtwo to gain energy?

[civic vector]

The team I'm liking using most has Torterra on it. Kyurem scares me! lol

[terse viper]

Yea unless they misplay and ky wins the lead

[terse viper]

Mud slappers in this economy???

[civic vector]

Moreso the TMNT, to give away other members of said team. lol

Blastoise is usually on Kyurem handling duty.

[terse viper]

I’d be more worried about toucannon

The SWEEPER

[mystic rapids]

Whats a good team around tink? Is it Jelli?

[civic vector]

Jellicent's always the right answer right now, it feels like. lol

[ionic lagoon]

Yall gotta stop using azumaril. Foretress and weezing in the fantasy cup

[mystic rapids]

Oof i dont have jelli in UL.

[magic field]

guys which one is better for pvp like honestly i ask mostly for grunts and for the league which one do i leave for which purpose mostly i think i know the answer but also i got one maybe better for pve cuz it has 15 atk?

[quick linden]

None of the above

Trade for candy

[magic field]

HUH?

but thats the best i have lol

im a newbie XD

i literally have these

oh wow i cant do that can i

sigh

@quick linden do u wanna help me out which mimikyus to keep?

i will dm u a few images XD

[quick linden]

No

What are you planning on using it for?

[magic field]

i want one for pvp and one for pve

i have 7 mimikyus lol

and the bot said nuh uh to me sending these images

[quick linden]

Use pokegenie for pvp ivs and right now it’s not even eligible

[magic field]

it is for grunts

i check every day its my fave pokemon so thats why i returned to the game so xD

im kinda excited

[quick linden]

And PvE is probably a no go because it maxes around 2500 and I’m sure there’s better ghost/fairy attackers

[magic field]

still a fave of mine id use it i am lvl 39 anyway not a lot of pokemon i have

i literally have some weak ass things and no candy

like

xD

[quick linden]

Honestly just catch everything and build up your roster for now

[magic field]

also isnt that for pve mainly? how do i do that

[magic field]

im trying!

[quick linden]

No you can import screenshots to check what rank IVs you get

[magic field]

huh? help im lost in all these things@quick linden

[quick linden]

You must’ve put something in wrong

[magic field]

i dont knkw...

[magic field]

literally everything is there

[quick linden]

Weird

[magic field]

could u import a screenshot of my mimikyu?

[quick linden]

Send

[magic field]

@quick linden

these the 3 best that i think are best xD

[quick linden]

You need to import while showing ivs

[magic field]

ohhh

now that makes more sence

[magic field]

then tho there are they

yeah the 14/14/14 is the best XD

[chilly terrace]

They cant even pvp 😭

[crisp garnet]

Just hit vet

[crisp garnet]

Aye W my dude, also sweet team

Regidrago carried me to vet

[tender gate]

What we think

[crisp garnet]

The first two look solid, switch tyranitar for legit any steel type you can find

And its looking great

Even a fire type would work

[tender gate]

I did 10 battles and got 7-3 so it’s not that bad, running T-Tar is lowkey amazing cause I get those booms, but I’ll try S.Empoleon

[crisp garnet]

Tyranitar probably eating these coriknights down

Just watch out for florges

Its a rough match up

[sterile loom]

this is my first time getting to Ace rank! I started playing in September and i'm proud to get this high

here's my team that I use in fantasy cup

[tender gate]

Yeah that’s what I keep facing

Bummed I didn’t go hard during cd

[crisp garnet]

I used a elite tm

Missed that cd

As well

[tender gate]

Ion got one sadly

😭

[crisp garnet]

Luckily

Theres a cd box in rn with a charged if you ever really need it

What rank you at rn though?

[tender gate]

I’m running WF, DP and FC on the Empoleon

[crisp garnet]

Switch WF for metal sound

Ahhh

You dont have hydro cannon right

[tender gate]

Yeah na

I mean I can use a regular one

Lotta dust tho 😭

[tender gate]

Not even Ace yet lol

Haven’t really played

18 rn

[crisp garnet]

You'll get a charged elite

At rank 19

[tender gate]

O ye

But should I use it on it tho

I just got squashed by a Skeledirge in the back

[crisp garnet]

The team does soft lose but empoleon and corviknight have either payback and hydro to hit it super effective

And kommo has a positive match up into skel too

Due to the release of tink, corviknight and empoleon have more play than ever

[mystic rapids]

What team u running bro?

[deft zephyr]

what the

[tropic charm]

They have to delete trailblazer from amphaross

Or delete amphaross

[junior trail]

Ban him

@lean jetty

Get em out of here

[lean jetty]

thanks

[junior trail]

Yeah np

[harsh bluff]

Need some help picking my third pokemon for battles 2500 max, currently running swampert with mudshot, earthquake, and muddy water. Giratina with shadow claw and ancient power

[tropic charm]

As you know Scizor could work

Snorlax is also a good pick I think

[tropic charm]

You shouldn’t run shadow claw

From what I’ve seen dragon breathe is better

[harsh bluff]

Alright I’ll switch it over

And I’ll try both scizor and snorlax and see what I run best with

Much appreciated

[tropic charm]

Scizor with Bullet punch, night slash and x-scissor

And snorlax with lick, body slam and a second move of choice

Could be earthquake, heavy slam, outrage or superpower

[harsh bluff]

I have been using charizard as my third but I’m not winning as many battles as I would like

[junior trail]

Birds give bro bread😭

[harsh bluff]

I’m not broke trust I’ve just been getting back into the grind

[quick linden]

Wrong moves on swamp and Zard

You need ETMs

[junior trail]

Yeah swamp needs hydro cannon

[harsh bluff]

I use muddy water cause I can spam the hell out of it

[quick linden]

Gira also needs another move and ancient power isn’t preferred

[harsh bluff]

I’m broke in the gira department

[quick linden]

You want either dragon breath/shadow claw and dragon claw/shadow sneak

Charizard you need elite fast tm and elite charged tm too

[harsh bluff]

How do I get elite fast and elite charged tm?

My bad I’ve never taken a deep dive into battles like that I’m only just getting into it

[mystic rapids]

GL and Ul Tinkaton sorted☺️

[quick linden]

Bonner is a wild city name

[mystic rapids]

Hahha

[junior trail]

There is worse btw 😭

[magic field]

i know but for the future! TwT i just want to use it i love it

[tropic charm]

Oh I forgot to mention

Once you get above rank 1900 you’re never gonna win a single battle ever again

Just be prepared for that

No point in getting to rank 2000 because it’s impossible

[quick linden]

What 😂😂😂

[quick linden]

Sick scam dude

<@&770285540503191613> smoke this idiot

[deft zephyr]

thanks'

[quick linden]

🤝

[tropic charm]

Why are these considered good IVS? I don’t get it

[quick linden]

Attack influences cp the most. in capped leagues like GL and UL, you want low atk and high defensive stats so that you can power up your pokemon more before hitting the limit. a 0/15/15 would end up higher level than a 15/15/15, thus having more bulk so it can give and take hits better.

the only difference is if a pokemon maxes out beneath the limit like umbreon for example maxing at around 2400 as a hundo level 50. for UL you'd want a hundo umbreon, while for GL you'd still want the 0/15/15. for master league you always want a hundo or close to it.

[tropic charm]

Ahhh I see. Thanks

Altho this probably comes at a cost that you’ll always lose CMP tide

[drowsy jungle]

yo kyle

just wanted to let you know

your a smart guy

[quick linden]

I copied that from a pin bro

But thanks

😂😂

[magic field]

ok so guys help, should i first level up the second abilities, or do i first level these up and then, im not sure what to do

[timid wedge]

Should i evolve my shundo tinkating????

[crisp garnet]

Id say so

To get the move

Decent steel type raid attacker and its not a bad iv to carry into ultra league if you ever dip your toes in

[ionic lagoon]

Question. If u have clearly lost a battle in pvp. Why do u continue the battle? Why not just forefit?

[ivory kettle]

🚔

[ivory kettle]

[sonic cargo]

is this useful!

[gentle shadow]

Never know what might happen

[lean jetty]

google tinkatink pvp IV youll find the best IV spread for every league

first website

[ionic lagoon]

Nah if u clearly have lost. Their is no. «might happen»

[willow ermine]

Is it worth purifying for a mega, or would it be stronger as a shadow

[acoustic merlin]

PVE anyway

So whichever you want, best fairy mega, but shadow is nice too

Hundo goes to 3333cp at level 46 too if you collect those

[gentle shadow]

Other player could lag out 😂

[willow ermine]

Yea i purifyed him

[paper cove]

Should I build aigeslash or doublade?

Why is his lvl 50 1500 cp

[plain lodge]

aigeslash

[raven verge]

So close

The cp jump from Tinkatuff to tinkaton is big

[lean jetty]

I’ll do battles with it now

[languid python]

Prob evolve for gl?

And this for ul?

[crisp garnet]

Well

This cday was nice

[civic vector]

In some cases, folks might be staying in to take the loss for the timed research. Forfeiting doesn't count as a battle towards those.

[civic vector]

Also, this. lol

[crisp garnet]

Holy christ

Keep seeing shadow typhlosions

[iron moon]

Whats a good tink team for UL i got perfect IVs

[crisp garnet]

Currently team building rn

[iron moon]

[left sage]

It can only go to 1487 but do I take this for a spin in gbl

It’s 94%

[crisp garnet]

A good team could be dragon double steel but tink kinda... makes it complicated

[crisp garnet]

Im jealous, looks ready to go

[iron moon]

Wait that doesnt show IVs

[civic vector]

I don't wanna replace my current Tinkaton, so going to hold out for an Elite Charged TM, assuming Gigaton Hammer's good for PvP like I assume?

[left sage]

The 100 is for baby cup @crisp garnet

[civic vector]

Love my XXL Hammer Maniac.

[left sage]

But ima prob run it in gl

I only run gl

@civic vector w for gl?

[crisp garnet]

W

[iron moon]

Ranked points juicer

And it has a background

[crisp garnet]

Its a beast in pvp yeah

Went up 100 elo

Using tink lmao

Just ran through teams and people who didn't shield

[left sage]

Is tink good for fantasy cup

Ik it’s good for gl

But what about fantasy

[civic vector]

Duely noted. Heavy Slam'll do for me until I get another Elite Charged TM then. :D

[iron moon]

Bulldoze actually goes crazy if they dont shield bc they can tank gigaton

[left sage]

U have until 8 to get giganton

[civic vector]

Firstly, it's past 8 where I live. lol

[left sage]

Oh

[crisp garnet]

Yeah that defense debuff

Goes crazy

[civic vector]

But mostly second, I don't wanna replace my XXL Tinkaton. So going to use an Elite Charged on it.

[left sage]

@crisp garnet Is my 94 good for fantasy cup?

[civic vector]

Haven't touched the Fantasy cup actually, I just realised. Been more interested in using a bunch of Ultra League folks this week.

[left sage]

Is bulldoze a legacy also for tink or am I js unlucky

[iron moon]

My first match they let a shield go to tank giga and lost like 40% + debuff its actually wild

[iron moon]

Unlucky

[civic vector]

No, Bulldoze is a normal move.

[left sage]

I got 8 charge tms left pls

Don’t ask how

Or why

[crisp garnet]

Damn

[civic vector]

I've got far too many...don't remember why, actually.

What was the last event where a bunch of TMs were thrown at folks?

[left sage]

Pokémon that have like 8 charge moves made me broke on tms

[iron moon]

I got tm rich off routes and raids

[left sage]

Cuz for PvP the game was not liking me

[civic vector]

Ampharos.

That was the guzzler for me.

[crisp garnet]

I hate how its random, could lose 20 tms if unlucky enough

[left sage]

I lost 20 like 8 times so now I’m at 8 tms 😭

[languid python]

Just soloed this dude with only tinkaton and was barely at half

[tender gate]

Omg I got so lucky everything is boosted and I still managed somehow

[left sage]

Never letting ppl on my acc again😭

[tender gate]

Hm?

[left sage]

Don’t know if I can come back from that

[tender gate]

Amazing coverage against steel with Bulldoze

And you’re hitting super effective with fairy wind

[left sage]

What team I run with it in fantasy

Cuz I needs comeback on elo

Someone on my account put me in debt

1890 elo

😭

[junior trail]

Why would you in the first place…

[left sage]

Idrk

But what team to run with tinkaton

@tender gate

[junior trail]

What was your Elo before

[tender gate]

Look at its typing and have something to balance it out

It’s weak to ground only pretty sure

[left sage]

And dude

Fire

[tender gate]

It’s part fairy so it’s normal

[left sage]

So galar wheezing and Turt

No

Fire works on it

[tender gate]

Wait actually

Nvm

[iron moon]

Im thinking tink lanturn and idk what else

[left sage]

So pair with empoleon and excadril?

[iron moon]

Cuz lanturn covers ground and fire

[left sage]

I’m talking abt fantasy

[tender gate]

You have stunfisk?

[iron moon]

Hell if I know lol stunfisk?

[tender gate]

Azu works as well

[junior trail]

Tinkaton loses to empoleon btw

[left sage]

I got a PvP azu and g fisk

[left sage]

So what team I should use with tink

[tender gate]

It’s weak to only fire and ground

[junior trail]

Look on PvPoke

[iron moon]

I kinda wanna run tink/empoleon but hmm

[tender gate]

Nice try that

[junior trail]

It shows you everything for each league

[left sage]

It shows rankings not teams

[iron moon]

Stunfisk empoleon tink is pretty good

[left sage]

Who do I lead with

And who as safe swap

[iron moon]

Lead with whatever the meta hates rn I reckon

[tender gate]

Melmetal seems really good

[junior trail]

Yeah you can see what’s the best and see what it beats and gets beaten by and just make a team🫩

It’s easy to make a team

[iron moon]

Id probably lead stunfisk

[tender gate]

Double steel and like Azu might be solid

[junior trail]

Its not team rocket science

[left sage]

I’m newer to PvP chill

[iron moon]

Wigglytuff acc would cover all of empoleons and tinks counter matchups

Or most of them

[left sage]

So tink emp and wig

Wait how wig takes the weaknesses

[iron moon]

Wouldn't be a bad thing to try

I cant test it because I accidentally transfered my wig

Damnit

[left sage]

I can try

Who u want me to lead

And for swap

@iron moon

[iron moon]

Hell idk

Emp should be a safe swap

Probably wanna keep wig in the back idk tinks placement

I have been leading with tink so far

[left sage]

@iron moon

[iron moon]

Ez

Cooking with schizophrenia

[crisp garnet]

I didn't think hammer would kill azu at that range

Insane work

[iron moon]

I think i made something

[mystic rapids]

What tinkaton team are u guys running in UL?

[iron moon]

Giga is a crazy move

[crisp garnet]

Running regidrago, tink and Forrest

[iron moon]

Azus ivs could be bad tho who knows

[crisp garnet]

Tink is better clefable

In every possible way

[iron moon]

I wanna run regi but the only remotely pvp iv I have is 15-10-14 so hes pretty much just trying to run over teams

[mystic rapids]

I wish I had enough resources to power up my forest in UL.

[crisp garnet]

I got lucky that pineco was a common spawn during the last event a week or two ago

[crisp garnet]

But any other steel works

You could do corviknight or empoleon

It's dragon double steel line after all

[iron moon]

I also have this one which is like 87%

So not the best

[crisp garnet]

My regi has bad ivs

But I had nothing better

So I said whatever

[iron moon]

You probably dont even need 90% until youre like crazy high rank anyway

But I also dont have elite tms for it

[crisp garnet]

Currently 2588 and rn im facing so many fire types

Seeing more fire types than actual tink lol

People are more trying to counter it than actually use it

[iron moon]

I have a 94% UL corv so might give double steel regi a go

[left sage]

Yea I made some mistakes

But idk if wiggly is the right mon

Idk tho

Tibkaton is a menace tho

[crisp garnet]

Definitely recommend it, solid core even in this meta and its nice to be able to switch the steels around

[iron moon]

I also got this empoleon

But I need candies

[crisp garnet]

You played fine imo, great showcase

[left sage]

Yo hitto

[crisp garnet]

Yeah

[left sage]

When gl comes back

Would tink quag anddd what be a good team

[crisp garnet]

Lets think about what both of those mons struggle against

A core breaker to both of them would be jellicent

So we need the last mon to be able to counter jelly at the very least

Hmm

[iron moon]

Regi counters everyone

[crisp garnet]

This is GL though

So regi cant come in

[iron moon]

Oh go galarian corsola

[left sage]

@iron moon

I like ur team but idk if I can run g corsola cuz it needs xl and a lot of dust

[crisp garnet]

Yeah plus corsola is getting an event soon right?

[iron moon]

Sustainability week

[crisp garnet]

So good chance to get XLs

[iron moon]

Literally next week lol

[crisp garnet]

Im definitely building one

[iron moon]

Its gonna be a stardust farm too

With trubbish and half egg distance

[crisp garnet]

Im more so debating if I should build shadow quag or normal, I only got one elite left after all

[left sage]

Idk

But for a cheaper option

What goes good with tink and quag

[iron moon]

I would just hold out for gcor

Its not that far away

You're gonna get mountains of stardust and candy

[crisp garnet]

Hmmm, I'd say licki could be nice

[left sage]

I only got 2m dust

[crisp garnet]

No xls needed

[left sage]

I have a PvP lick

Already

[iron moon]

Try it

[crisp garnet]

Then it could be a nice third slot

[left sage]

Well gl ain’t in rotation rn

[iron moon]

I have a licki too acc

[iron moon]

Tru

[mystic rapids]

What you think of kyurem/zygarde then emp/corvi plus tinkaton?

[left sage]

Is it in 2 days the event

[crisp garnet]

Not a bad idea at all, kyurem is nasty as a lead, even into a fairy lead, you can debuff and dip

And dance around

Only thing to watch out for would be skel

But even then you still can wiggly your way out

[left sage]

@crisp garnet

[crisp garnet]

Which event?

[iron moon]

Yeah

[mystic rapids]

Just noticed i have this that i can try in Ul

[crisp garnet]

You're scaring me

I have nightmares of that thing

Thunder punch is so gross

Only mon I can think of that can at least wall it would be swampert but swampert isnt that common currently

[mystic rapids]

But i dont know what team to build it around lol

[crisp garnet]

What ive seen is people pairing

Two bulky meta mons with shadow typhlosion

But a another common core was florges with it

[mystic rapids]

Zygarde + double fire?

[crisp garnet]

Yeah

But you'd have to watch out for jelli

But even then, thunder punch goes insane

And zygarde can mostly outbulk jellicent

Crunch included

[mystic rapids]

I was thinking zygarde + skel + s.typ but im double weakness to feraligtr which is very common.
maybe i can swap skel for lapras?

But im double weakness to tinkaton if i do that lol

[crisp garnet]

Lapras would be a nice switch to bait out the amph

[crisp garnet]

True

[gentle shadow]

I'm ultra league gaming

[crisp garnet]

We love to see it

No idea why a guzzlord wouldn't shield a amph charging up like crazy but

[crisp garnet]

I have no idea why Charizard is seen as bad right now?

I know water is dominating but cmon

[gentle shadow]

No clue, I'm having fun with it

[gentle shadow]

They brought it in after I farmed down their mon lol

[crisp garnet]

Seeing a fellow Forrest dying

Hurts me

What fast move?

[gentle shadow]

On zard?

I'm running wing attack because I don't feel like using ANOTHER elite on Zard

[crisp garnet]

I felt that

Zard is quite the expensive investment

Double elite is nasty

[gentle shadow]

Well it doesn't help that they keep messing with it's fast moves

[crisp garnet]

Yeah, they won't leave wing attack, dragon breathe alone

[lost sleet]

what’s the elete fast move?

[crisp garnet]

Dragon breath

[lost sleet]

word

[acoustic merlin]

Meh

[crisp garnet]

Hot damn

What you saving em for

[acoustic merlin]

Just nothing to use on

[crisp garnet]

Fair enough

[acoustic merlin]

I burned like 7 for dynamax stuff when it came out

Good times

[crisp garnet]

2588 Elo rn

Rust might be coming off

[acoustic merlin]

I'm hardstuck at rank 10

[magic field]

should i should i not? i want gallade but i keep getting female kirilias

[acoustic merlin]

Should you what?

[ivory kettle]

Zarude

[acoustic merlin]

No, YOU'RE so rude

[ivory kettle]

🤣 My Zarude is 98% iv.

[acoustic merlin]

Mine just 96

[magic field]

should i evolve it into gallade or not, like i want to but its not the best and i dont hv any other male kirilas

[ivory kettle]

💪

[acoustic merlin]

Bruh you have no dust or candies.

For dex do what you want

[magic field]

i mean dust is easy to get

candy i have the rainbow ones

[proper iris]

I’m going to build an ML garchomp now. Wondering what you would think about the options I have. Either going to max out my 15/15/14 garchomp or my 13/15/13 shadow gible by purifying it to be a hundo

[tulip plover]

I just battled someone who got 5 corviknight air cutter boosts in a row. What are even the odds of that

[civic vector]

I feel sorry for a Corviknight that accomplished 4 against me once.

Blastoise had already landed a couple of skull bashes, so it just tanked through them while Hydro Cannoning to victory.

[ivory kettle]

Bazooka them

[valid horizon]

Almost maxing zarude is nuts

[austere thistle]

Hey trainers, pvp noob here. I wanted to create a team for great league and so far know i want Tinkaton in my team (my fav :)) and pvpoke told me a great teammate would be altaria, however, i dont know what to get as a third teammate. anyone have tips/suggestions for me?

[white smelt]

PvP poke have a team builder option where they can suggest you a teammate or you could just find 1 depending on your fav playstyle or team setup

[austere thistle]

Yea i used that to find altaria, but after that I am unsure how to check what next mon would fit them both as a third

[austere thistle]

ah thanks, i shouldve looked further :)

[left sage]

Anyone got a good team alongside tinkaton for fantasy cup

[ionic lagoon]

Dont think it’s that usefull in this cup

[left sage]

its not that good but its decent

[ionic lagoon]

Issue is that it gets destroyed by ground moves
