Well I don’t know. Looks like a wheel spoke

There's a Hyde park in Leeds?

[supple scarab]

Not suspicious at all…

[supple scarab]

Yes

Separates the north of the city centre from the beginning of Studentville

[loud gull]

Hi happy Easter hope you all have a good time getting shinys

[supple scarab]

Is there increased odds today!?

[modest totem]

Is that campfire, if so should I make an account and use it

For max battles and such

[alpine ether]

happy easter!

[loud gull]

No bit the costumed pokemon are 1/64 so that is awesome

[alpine ether]

its a good app to gather groups with

[modest totem]

Okay

[glad niche]

My luck has reverted and I haven't had a shiny all collab event

[grand canopy]

another best buddy

[glad niche]

Nice

[grand canopy]

next is kyurem but that looks kinda stupid because its so far away 😭

[loud gull]

Yea I did the same with mine a while ago

[lone scarab]

I only see like quagmire every time I see kyu white

quite the chin

Also wonder if they've fixed the kyu black buddy ribbon yet or not lol

[fervent pewter]

im doing my kyurem too i hate it behind me

[forest saffron]

What is the best of the three moves to unlock

[trail cloak]

It's not a good attacker, so if you're going to use G-Lax: either Guard to draw attacks or Spirit to heal allies

Max spirit

[glad rover]

So far my luck at hatching Tinkatinks isn't good, have hatched multiple Charcadets, one Hatenna and one Elekid

[glad niche]

I have gotten 0

[lone scarab]

Charcs good to hatch at least, I just been getting hatennas

I do have a few tinks by sheer volume tho

[restive turtle]

I've gotten so many tinks I've started transferring them

i love when i get a hundo

[quiet kite]

Sprigateeny

[supple scarab]

Both been out for 10 days, each requiring berries in the last 24hrs and ofc they both fall on the same day. Idiots

[plucky sky]

Yeah, thats a pretty normal occurrence, especially when gyms are close together. Some people are really nice and will only battle 1 gym in a small area instead of all of them, and that way it alternates and everyone gets a shot...but thats definitely not most people, and nobody has any sort of obligation to do that. A lot of people just beat every gym they see when they go out, so you're likely to lose multiple gyms in the same day

Just something that becomes normal. Ideally you put mons in a lot of gyms at once so if 2 or 3 fall, you still have others

[alpine ether]

thems the breaks

[fervent pewter]

LET ME OUT LOL

[alpine ether]

omg the berries

[glass thunder]

Where do I go to ask for pogo trades

[inner aspen]

Your local group since trade distance is 100m

[glass thunder]

???

I'm confused

[woeful pulsar]

you can't trade unless you're less than 100 metres away from someone, so we don't facilitate pogo trades on this server. you should try to look around to see if your local area has a pokemon go server or community

[glass thunder]

Ohhh ok

[supple scarab]

They weren’t close together 😂

And Metagross was first in the gym after I took it over

[loud gull]

so I think my team for dmax entei will be 2 blastois to tank then my hundo intelion to blast him

[glad rover]

Got my first Tinkatink finally, another one towards the Paldea dex

80 for the gold medal's honestly kind of a big jump

[supple scarab]

What do I call it? Shshuckle? Ssssshuckle? Crap?

[grand canopy]

wow i love shuckle

i'd do unspeakable things to get one

[supple scarab]

Well

[trail cloak]

Aw shucks

Shouldn't take long then to do

[fervent pewter]

finally an easy one lol

[plucky sky]

Ngl, for a rural mostly-solo player, the 5 lucky trades is the hardest one out of everything so far. But assuming you have a friend or an alt, its just an rng based timegate. Rather have this than the platinum johto medal one I still need

[fervent pewter]

yes 5 lucky trade is quite hard

im gonna help my rural friend by driving an hr to him xD

Thats honestly really nice. If everyone had a friend like that, the world would be a better place

[sharp finch]

I honestly can't tell what it is for once

[glad niche]

Idk gen 9 cries so this is a hard one

Gotta be something that's from the ocean, so probably veluza or finizen

[lone scarab]

People think it's a low tone of dynamax suicunes cry

It does match sound wise but yeah lower pitch

feel like they reuse cries a lot tho so could be something else

https://youtu.be/Mb0Kv1gN0Ps?si=1VKqVhXLIgtqdAxg

[glad niche]

Could be for the next max raid weekend. After Entei

[wise aspen]

Which do I wear?

[alpine ether]

rising hero is more ominous with ball guy hat

[wise aspen]

Kk

Imma wait till i get some more opinions cuz my cousins keep telling me i should wear the hammer one but i kinda prefer the rising hero lol

Makes me feel like omniman or smth

[fervent pewter]

cycle between both? 🙏

[lone scarab]

counterpoint, bonk

[unborn garden]

maybe dondozo?

suicune cries twice this only has one

nvm dondozo sounds way different

[trail cloak]

It's Suicune, just distorted as it should be

[quiet kite]

ah yes, the water raccoon, Suicoon

[fossil basin]

People were saying kyogre but the cry is way different

[unborn garden]

yeah and since we have raikou and now entei suicune has got to be next

[supple scarab]

Suicune. 100%

[fossil basin]

Gah so close!

now its stuck in carbink eggs so good luck with that

[fervent pewter]

shiny carbink soon at least

[supple scarab]

Can I claim these tomorrow and have tomorrow’s date? 😂😭

Also, one egg counted for three 🤷‍♂️

[unique grotto]

If you do not click claim reward until tomorrow it will count for tomorrow's stamp. Is that what you are asking?

[supple scarab]

Yes

Much more succinctly than me

[fervent pewter]

we take those

prayge shiny libre

[loud gull]

yay applin is coming

[fervent pewter]

never would have guessed

[fossil basin]

New missions. Rewards a tart and sweet apple

Guess you might be able to get this done on vanilitte community day

[trail cloak]

50 Pokemon? That's a 15 min walk around the neighborhood

[fossil basin]

And use a lure module

[loud gull]

I'm guessing mossy lures attract applin

[fossil basin]

Yes

Look at this cutie

[glad rover]

Since you need 20 for each evo, do the apple evo items take up bag space?

[lone scarab]

I heard someone say they don't, similar to gimmi coins

[fossil basin]

Yeah they dont

[supple scarab]

Boom. First catch of the day

Oh. Brilliant.

[fossil basin]

A paras spawned from an apple

Uh okay…

[supple scarab]

Boom

[supple scarab]

Maybe it was a spore developing on the tender insides of the apple

[glad niche]

Nice

[restive turtle]

wowie

[grand canopy]

nooo what is this 😭

[fervent pewter]

sickkk

save money before go fest

[grand canopy]

these look great tho

[modest totem]

Hey my alt has the go pass but my main doesn’t. Anyone know why?

[plucky sky]

[modest totem]

That doesn’t help

[plucky sky]

It doesnt, but nothing anyone else says will either. We have no idea what they base it on other than "some regions will see the April pass" and thats all they told us. I just find the situation funny. But yeah, thats probably the best answer you'll get

[restive turtle]

i literally just got an azelf a week ago 😭

[modest totem]

Oh

[trail cloak]

My guess is that your alt "traveled" to a place that gets the pass but your main did not 🙃

[plucky sky]

👀

[modest totem]

I don’t spoof if that’s what you’re implying

[cerulean steppe]

Go pass went to random players iirc

[plucky sky]

Yeah, they said "certain players in certain regions" but it seemed pretty random. Also the pass wasnt even the same for every player who got it. There were a handful of different versions.

So if you got it, consider yourself lucky

[glad rover]

Finally the lake trio back in raids

I also don't have Tapu Bulu so that'll another dex entry

[loud gull]

If apples spawn from mossy lures then I should be ready

Funny though I found an applin without using a module

[fossil basin]

Its rare af if you found without a lure

[loud gull]

it was at the end of my walk around town when I found the apple

[glad rover]

I only have 4 mossy lures so I won't have many opportunities for the apples

[quiet kite]

this event is whack

locking the main draw behind paid lures is capital B.A.D. BAD

dont get me wrong, I live in a dense urban area so im making steady progress toward getting at least one evo before the event ends, but still

[fervent pewter]

better than gated behind eggs

[loud gull]

I been holding onto my lures because I barely need them. Mainly activate when I go to conventions when waiting in lines

[quiet kite]

true, but I also despise egg events

[supple scarab]

Well shit

Wasn’t expecting that

Meh

[fossil basin]

Now who do i do next?

[fervent pewter]

Keldeo

[fossil basin]

I dont have keldeo

Ive decided to prep my 98zacain

for crown form

[alpine ether]

that is absolutely not the sticker placement i would have expected

[fossil basin]

Ill check where mega loppunny badge next week cause mega kang

[lone scarab]

it ain't for another week tho so you could just mega it and it'll be refreshed by then

[fossil basin]

I have mega’d my zard now for entei

[lone scarab]

ah aight

speaking of weird ribbon placements I noticed dialgas doesn't even touch its body lol

[quiet kite]

been using my lvl40 GMax Snorlax with lvl2/3/2 Max Moves on Entei all day and he's perfectly serviceable in this fight

definitely cant take Overheat as well as GMax Blastoise can though lol

[quiet kite]

bugged out

spamming fast attacks while Dmax'd lol

[fossil basin]

Haha

Oh its still there …

[agile path]

I feel like I’m doing this event wrong. Surrounded by mossy lures I’m rarely finding apples. And when I do they always result in a cottonee or paras. Am I just really unlucky or am I missing something?

[quiet kite]

the rates are quite unforgiving

[plucky sky]

Just unlucky

[plucky sky]

Lol its kinda funny. Someone at Niantic must like lopunny's thighs

[restive turtle]

nundo appletun??

if i would stop getting fucking tart apples??

[supple scarab]

Did I read somewhere that we get double evo xp?

[restive turtle]

so this is a thing i guess?

[forest saffron]

I sure do love wasting 400 Poké coins on a max mushroom

Only to not even win

Thanks flakey friends

[supple scarab]

Anyone?

[knotty narwhal]

Man I would love to get a Jumbo shiny gulpin from this event so I can name it Big Gulp 😆

[restive turtle]

people buy those?

[fervent pewter]

i will get my shiny meloetta in 26 days 🫡

[forest saffron]

When they have like no people and only semi decent Pokémon, yes

[plucky sky]

Yeah it really depends on what you're working with. If not everyone has the right counters or you're lacking people, like a lot of rural players are, they can become a gamechanger. 2x damage is pretty impactful

[restive turtle]

i lack the right counters or required people!

then again i don't really care about dynamax (it's so ass)

[knotty narwhal]

At least dynamax can be sent to HOME unlike gigantamax. So another way to shiny hunt legends... I guess. A much, much worse way.

[alpine ether]

wait gmax pokemon cant be transferred???

[knotty narwhal]

I don't think so...

Same with mons in a go safari ball

Maybe though, I haven't tried that's just what I read when I was seeing why safari ball caught mons can't transfer.

I just tried an no, you can't transfer them to home

[plucky sky]

If it was remotable, I'd be on board. Just not worth even interacting with it for me in its current state, and I know I'm not alone. I'll watch and see what they do with it going forward, but for now I just see it as content I ignore by default

[alpine ether]

its easy golden razz at least

[glad niche]

Check the event bonuses

[supple scarab]

😪

[grand canopy]

vanillite is so cute for a com day but i slept through most of it again, only caught like 30, got 2 shinies

one w/ bg + 14/15/15 as a wild catch, wouldve loved to play more for the bonuses but oh well

[swift vapor]

Hey, Kids! Wanna loads of apples?
Here’s a Good way to get more than few. At close to the end of community day (16:50 is Good), put some most lure modules in your spot (more the better). After community ends, this lure stays for 3…ish hours, and you can more apples than usual!

[loud gull]

If I knew that kingler was a good attacker for entei I would have set mine up weeks ago, but I do have my hundo intelion maxed out

[restive turtle]

[swift vapor]

Just noticed that i missed a letter there, as it was supposedly be a moist

[restive turtle]

ok

[gaunt horizon]

I hate it when there's a community day or spotlight hour, but I'm currently unavailable until after the event already ends

Like

I'm in a 10 hour drive back home from Canada right now bruh

[lone scarab]

invest in autocatcher + take pitstops idk lol

[plucky sky]

Some people do the entire community day in the car. If you're not driving, then its easy. Just press every one you see to see if its shiny...if not? Back out and press on a different one. And you'll have pretty constant new spawns in the car. If you're the one driving, then you should have/get an autocatcher. Leaving it running while you're driving during community day should leave you with hundreds of catches, and like up to 20 shinies, and that assumes you're driving the entire time. Just have to reconnect every 30 minutes or so. Otherwise you can leave your phone screen off and put it in your pocket or something

Not being able to go outside and walk around shouldnt stop you from reaping the benefits of community day/many other events. Especially once you have an autocatcher, and especially if you're in the car

[fervent pewter]

i do them in the car

but my gotcha broke so i been down bad

[plucky sky]

Yeah, autocatchers are pretty damn helpful tbh

[modest totem]

Yo I am NOT getting this 😭😭

[gaunt horizon]

I'm not the one driving, my dad is lol

Also how does auto catcher work

Is it like an app? Like an auto clicker for a pc?

Oh wait, I should've read further down lol

[plucky sky]

Thats ideal, because you can still shiny check mons that spawn as you're moving. As for autocatchers, theyre devices that you connect to your app through bluetooth, and then they throw 1 normal pokeball at every mon it sees, even with the game in the background/screen off. If the catch fails, the mon automatically flees, but for things like community day where you just want to cast a large net, they're perfect. There's the official one:
https://www.pokemongoplusplus.com/en/
And then there are unofficial ones with pros and cons that are worth researching.

saw an azelf four blocks away from a concert venue back in like october

couldn't go and get it

[wheat marten]

eating SO GOOD today

community day really depends on where you are some just like walk around because all the raid posts are close to each other

[gaunt horizon]

But if you're going too fast, you can't catch anything. Does the auto catcher bypass that?

[plucky sky]

Below like 40-45mph, you should be fine. Above that, you definitely catch less, but it still catches.

And at that point, its better than nothing

[grand canopy]

shadow lapras is looking real nice

[gaunt horizon]

60mph on the freeway for several hours

[plucky sky]

Should still work, just not as efficient

[fervent pewter]

shadow malamar maybe cool

shadow vigoroth in 2025 is a crime

I've been fucking walking with pawmo for like 2 weeks they're def gonna nerf its req for the day now

[fossil basin]

I cant wait to give this dog a knife

[glad rover]

You maybe won't be able to, since the Crowned Sword and Shield forms are going to be in raids. Maybe they'll exist separately like how the Incarnate forms can't become the Therian forms

[quiet kite]

yeah im sure they will function the way all the other held item transformations do already

Fun fact 💡 Tinkaton uses its hammer to knock flying Corviknight out of the sky — which is why Corviknight doesn’t roam the Paldea region.

X · Apr 29, 2025, 12:17 AM

[glad niche]

Not using gigaton hammer. Meme ruined

[plucky sky]

Im like 90% sure it will be raids to get the energy or item and a normal version of the mon, which you then upgrade afterwards. Every "upgrade" version of a mon so far in raids reverts to the normal version to catch it but gives energy or something. Therian/Incarnate are not upgrades, but basically alternate forms. Meanwhile zacian and zamazenta crown forms are upgrades of the original that still require having the original.

[lone scarab]

I think it'd be best if it was like mega ray where you just need energy + an item

Worst case would be like origin palkia/dialga where they have a move you can't even use if it's not a particular raid one

[gaunt horizon]

Can you change Giratina's form in this game?

[quiet kite]

maybe itll function as a Mega evolution? in the main games Zacian and Zamazenta are only transformed in battle...

youre tellin' me...

(has Draco Meteor)

anyway, I have the rare XL candy...

do I do it??

[plucky sky]

Im biased as a rural player who sits out of max stuff, but I still say yes

[restive turtle]

LEAVE ME ALONE

[fossil basin]

Pokeminers has found out that latios/latias has some Dynamax assets found related to them

[quiet kite]

Ive never trained either, so that would be fun maybe

[gaunt horizon]

In the main games, Giratina is transformed whenever in the distortion world or holding the Griseous Core

[quiet kite]

I know

[fossil basin]

Pokeminers has found

[quiet kite]

so based on the datamines, will they increase any IV to max or do they only increase themby a few points?

[modest totem]

probably a few points

maybe 1 or so to turn a 98 into a 100

[quiet kite]

why do you say "probably?" im asking for actual data, not speculation

[fervent pewter]

its + 1 per cap, max of 3 per stat

[fossil basin]

1 per cap so im just going to send my 98 shiny eevee and 98 shiny toge to hundo

And my 98 zacian

[sharp finch]

I can get 26 shundos then (I have 26 shiny 96-98s)

[fossil basin]

Oh yeah i also have a 98 shiny victrbell

I do have a bunch of shiny 96

[lone scarab]

wouldn't bother rn, wait till it can evo at least

[sharp finch]

Most of mine are 98s compared to 96s just to rub the salt in my own wound

Jumpscaring me as if I finally got a shundo just to get choke slammed again

At this point I'd even take something with zero use just to say I got one

[fossil basin]

Imma make a tag

Wooloos are everywhere

Replace with mu buddy zacian

[unborn garden]

The apples are still showing up after the event

[sharp finch]

I also did

[sharp finch]

Good

[fossil basin]

Its just rarer now

[grand canopy]

[fervent pewter]

need better one

[grand canopy]

[fervent pewter]

actually if i remember corsola ivs dont mattter that much

just feelsbad to use xls on a meh one

[grand canopy]

[fervent pewter]

Another remotable shadow raid day?!

I hope this is the norm now. I can tolerate other shadow raids being local only if we get raid days for the legends every so often that can be remoted

[grand canopy]

why is it gigas

[plucky sky]

Gigas isnt incredibly awful for raids I guess, but much worse than our last one (ho-oh) and definitely not the ideal shadow legend choice imo. But I'm for sure more excited about the remotable thing potentially becoming the norm. Don't really care that its gigas tbh

[fervent pewter]

ill do a few maybe

[grand canopy]

yeah thats nice but gigas this time? i wouldve preferred every other shadow legend

[plucky sky]

Yeah for sure. Its definitely an underwhelming pick

[fervent pewter]

lake trio

[plucky sky]

Shadow lake trio would be a hilarious troll for this tbh

I wouldn't even be mad, because its funny

[gaunt horizon]

I saw one a few hours ago

I think I haven't seen a wild one before either

[blazing thistle]

how many times does shadow raid day happen per year?

[plucky sky]

Doesnt seem to be any set amount. Whenever they want to tbh. Usually at least once per season? During the rocket takeovers?

[blazing thistle]

fair enough then, thank you

[supple scarab]

Anyone about?

[glad niche]

Need help?

[supple scarab]

Probably

[supple scarab]

Oh. I remember now. Any suggestions for a flying type for rocket battles?
And when you use a charged move, does fannying about with your finger on the screen to hit the icons actually do anything bar making you look weird?

[unique grotto]

You have a damage multiplier in PvP (and rockets) based on the number of bubbles you hit, up to 100%. If you miss too many bubbles you deal less damage.

[glad niche]

What type of grunt are you fighting?

Becaue flying doesn't really have anything good going for it bar maybe lugia

[supple scarab]

Cliff last night

[glad niche]

Lemme go check the teams

[supple scarab]

Annhilape and Machamp were two of his possibilities

[glad niche]

Looks like a psychic type can cover them easily. And they're way better than flying

[supple scarab]

Annihilape? Ghost?

[glad niche]

I see marowak the most when fighting him

[supple scarab]

I’ve not seen Marowak yet

I’ve had everything but Marowak and Crobat

What about electric types?

[glad niche]

I've seen it every time
I'd go with a water type, psychic type and fighting type for full coverage

[supple scarab]

Worth evolving Electabuzz or Magneton?

[glad niche]

For rocket leaders?

No I dont think you should because psychic beats crobats poison typing

[trail cloak]

Might not be available to you, for Cliff I use Rayquaza to wall Cubone & break through shields with Air Slash & Breaking Swipes

Then either nuke the middle mon with Dragon Ascent, or chow through with Air Slashes + Breaking Swipes, and save the nuke for #3

#3 is usually TTar though, so just have a Fighter ready

[supple scarab]

Tapu worth it?

[plucky sky]

Bulu is an ok bug/fairy type for raids, and if youre missing a lot of options, Koko can be an ok fairy/electric user for raids too, but I think the tapu's see most of their use in pvp. Fini in ultra league and most of them can work in master league

[supple scarab]

I’ll hang around then. I’m in Leeds and there’s a couple of Fini raids that I’ll see if anyone will join

[plucky sky]

Fini can definitely be good in pvp, both ultra and master league, so picking them up can't hurt

[supple scarab]

Does anyone use campfire to set up raids and things?

Or is it hit and miss depending where you are?

[plucky sky]

Hit or miss depending on where you are. Sometimes you'll have a really active group, sometimes you won't. But it's worth checking if you never have

Some groups are definitely better or more active than others

[supple scarab]

Well. I feel cheated

Five in the group and then the raid only registered me looking at the health bar

[plucky sky]

Rip. yeah that sucks

[charred rapids]

Solgaleo or Lunala??

[glad niche]

In what context?

[charred rapids]

Trying to figure out which one to evolve me cosmoem into

[glad niche]

I'd say whichever you like. They're the same in performance

[plucky sky]

Do you have either yet? Or either nacrozma fusion?

[charred rapids]

I do not 🥲

[charred rapids]

I love both, I just wanna know which one people like more cause I don't know which one

[plucky sky]

I like Dusk Mane / Solgaleo better, but Metagross/shadow metagross is basically a worse but more accessible steel type, and even shares the psychic type, so you have a more competitive accessible alternative. Dawn Wings / Lunala really has no easily accessible alternatives for ghost type non-megas, so I'd go for that if you care about utility/efficiency

[charred rapids]

Ah thanks for the advice! I'll see if I could do that

[modest totem]

Someone got lucky 😒

[quiet kite]

I feel like I get more mileage out of my Desk Mane Necrozma, but I use both of them a lot

[plucky sky]

Yeah both are incredible

You really can't go wrong

[fervent pewter]

i just tell ppl pick whichever one you like more

i got dusk mane 🤷‍♂️

[rocky field]

i’m not sure how this will effect Combat Power

there’s more than 1000 messages in this channel alone with that abbreviation

[trail cloak]

You'll be fine, just press alt+f4 and it'll clean everything up

[quiet kite]

copypaste spam

I dont really think its appropriate to spread a message like that, asking users to DM some rando

[rocky field]

sorry, i wasn’t focused on that part

[quiet kite]

its pretty sus imho

[fossil basin]

Also shiny dawnwings is pretty

In certain regions there will be a make up gmax snorlax event on sunday cause of the mess up

[quiet kite]

you mean the way we could barely get a nice throw, let alone great or excellent?

[fossil basin]

No like other spawns instead of snorlax

[plucky sky]

People and games have been using that abbreviation for decades for combat power or other game terms that mean the same thing. Its like HP...I really don't think the story being spread around is the full story at all. This all sounds very sus. Ive seen it spread in multiple servers, but it honestly seems more like a hoax imo

[fossil basin]

Example: instead pf snorlax, machop and passimian replaced the spawns @quiet kite

so i had to walk to other powerspots instead..

[rocky field]

I thought that, but there were people in the comments of the original post saying it was true, and I figured better safe than sorry since discord is kinda infamous for banning or stupid reasons

[quiet kite]

yeah, I saw that too

personally I dont trust any copypasta, especially one that is asking users to do something specific like "mass-ping" Discord to reverse a ban, or "DM me"

[plucky sky]

Everyone I've seen who say it's true also then comment below it and say "dm [insert username]. They got me unbanned". It 100% screams scam. DMing a random account will never be the path to getting unbanned, and is 100% of the time a scam, so the initial people are likely bots or fake accounts. Do you know anyone personally who's gotten banned? Because in every server I see this spread to today, I've seen 0 people who have personally been banned or know anybody who actually has

Just these random twitter accounts and stuff that claim they've been banned and then people telling them to DM some random guy

Anyway, like I said, its been a common acronym in games for decades now. Even Pokémon GO has been using it for 9 years...so its highly unlikely people are actually getting banned for it and the more likely scenario is that people are spreading a hoax to get traffic for scam accounts

[rocky field]

Thanks for clearing it up more ^^ Honestly I attributed it to discord being dumb, i’ve seen people get banned for saying “I’m 5” (when replying to a post like this)

so i wouldn’t put it past discord for banning people over an acronym like that

[plucky sky]

Yeah, discord or any company making dumb mistakes is honestly always a very real possibility. This one just has some kinda "sus" signs that make me cautious

[quiet kite]

||I'm 2 btw|| 😂

[supple scarab]

any worth keeping?

[quiet kite]

shadow machamp is great

hello lonely Pokéstop in the middle of the forest

[supple scarab]

What about Marowak?

[plucky sky]

Shadow Marrowak has some niche use in great league afaik? But other than that, useless. Shadow Machamp is decent in pvp and good in raids. And Primape/Annihilape are good in pvp

Shadow Swellow is completely garbage afaik

[supple scarab]

I don’t know

[supple scarab]

I don’t play

[glad niche]

The primape no. If you wanna purify the machol that becomes a 98, the cubone you can keep or purify that'll become a purundo

[grand canopy]

purundo 😭

[supple scarab]

What’s a purundo?

Purified Hindi?

Hundo***

[quiet kite]

please don't purify the machop if youre going to use it for raids

its objectively superior as a shadow

[glad niche]

Yes

[supple scarab]

Also

400 for Golisopod?

[supple scarab]

Tell me why like I am five

[unborn garden]

shadow pokemon do about 15% more damage than regular pokemon

so a 0% shadow does more damage than a 100% regular

they do take 15% more damage tho

so tankier mons dont benefit as much from being shadows

they are pricier to power up but generally shadows are just better

[trail cloak]

It's all 20s. 20% more damage done/taken, 20% more stardust/candy cost to power up

[fervent pewter]

no wayyyyy

[unborn garden]

ah cool ^^

[glad niche]

Someone is very lucky

[rotund copper]

thats gotta be like.. 1 of 1.

[trail cloak]

One in 216 shiny Libre would be shundo. I'm sure there are a few

[fervent pewter]

quite a few likely !

but stings when its the homies

[trail cloak]

Nah, be happy for them

Now if they get a shundo Meloetta...

[fervent pewter]

lol that was posted in that channel too

[trail cloak]

Cliff's?

[fervent pewter]

must be yea

[plucky sky]

If you don't do pvp, the only one of those 4 with any usefulness is shadow machamp for raids potentially

[loud gull]

Pikabuff

[knotty narwhal]

Weirdly haven’t seen any huge/teeny magikarp even though they’re one of the 3 main shiny boosted event mons? Anyone else? I’ve seen so many of everything else

[loud gull]

I have both from a year ago.

[knotty narwhal]

I just mean since the current event started

[supple scarab]

Hmm

[modest totem]

Yeah i definitely wouldn’t have preferred a shadow Dratini

[forest saffron]

What kinds of Pokémon should I be keeping? I currently keep All shinies, hundos and nundos, pokemon I’ve mega evolved, legendaries and mythicals, event Pokémon 2 star and above, good dynamaxes, 98s and 96s, and anything else that has value to me but my storage is getting pretty full is there anything I don’t need

Oh I also keep PvP stats

And xxls

[trail cloak]

Ones you'll use, ones that you like to look at, and ones that a friend might want to trade for. Everything else is for the grinder

[modest totem]

BRO U CANT MAKE THIS UP IM ABT TO CRY THIS IS MY FAV POKEMON

OMG

[unborn garden]

so jealous, congrats!

[unborn garden]

Does anyone here have a bigger whale?

[modest totem]

Are the chances for XXl and xxs boosted in this event I’ve been seeing a lot more

[grand canopy]

yes

[plucky sky]

I have this one

[unborn garden]

Dammmm that's a big whale

[glad niche]

Congratulations

[modest totem]

Yo am I crazy or did they increase the price by 20

[trail cloak]

Both are possible, but in this case, just crazy

[modest totem]

Wasn’t it 80 tho?

[trail cloak]

Only Yucky Eggs are 80 coins. Lures have been 100 forever

https://pokemongo.fandom.com/wiki/Shop

[glad niche]

So how was everyone's raid day?

I got no kangaskhans above 1440

Out of 5 raids. No shinies

[modest totem]

Is rookidee shiny out yet

[grand canopy]

nope

[supple scarab]

A couple of my XXS

[modest totem]

I did 2 raids with raid passes before the kanghaskan raids started today. Do i still get to do 5? Or can i only do 3 now

[modest totem]

Only got to do 4. No shinies no hundos

[forest saffron]

Apparently I transferred a hundo dwebble (probably when I was new to the game)

[glad rover]

Just found an Applin and catching it got me a tart apple so I guess that's a nice change

[cloud ferry]

so if i want to optimize for raiding, should i level up a lucky dialga first, or a lucky groudon first?

they are at 2855 and 2566 cp respectively

[fervent pewter]

probably can just save your dust for now

[unborn garden]

How good are they?

Like ivs

[trail cloak]

Primal Groudon w Precipice Blade can be your one and only Ground type mon. Dialga can't quite carry as hard

[plucky sky]

Yeah, Primal Groudon is still one of the best mons in this game for raids/pve. The same can't be said for normal dialga. Even if you don't have primal energy right now, a normal Groudon is still better in pve than a normal dialga, and has the potential to be primal which becomes one of the best in the game. I'd definitely go with Groudon if you have to level one of those

[unborn garden]

That's a pretty big whale

New biggest whale I've seen

[cloud ferry]

Here they are

[plucky sky]

Groudon if you're gonna level 1 of them, but the IVs and the fact that they're lucky don't matter here. My explanation is above for why Groudon is the better pick

[cloud ferry]

I suppose my next question is, given what I have, is it a good move to spend resources to level up that Groudon?

Here’s all the high cp ones I got right now

And here are all the legendaries that I have right now.

[sharp finch]

I did that to a dunsparce sadly

[unborn garden]

It's a 94% and groudon is the best ground type attacker, good against neutral things as well tbh

I'd level up the groudon to over 3k if possible

[modest totem]

I did that to a koffin, pupitar, and a frigibax 😭😭

[cloud ferry]

i will trust you!

[unborn garden]

It should be cheaper with lucky, and idk if groudon will be back for awhile

[cloud ferry]

do I have anything else that is good for raiding btw?

[unborn garden]

Mewtwo is good, ttar, rhyperior, metagross, and garchomp are all good

Slaking is terrible for raiding aha

[cloud ferry]

haha! That one is from a community

Actually the first community day that I played

[unborn garden]

Oh nice ^^

[forest saffron]

Noooo not the pupitar (tyranitar is one of my favorite Pokémon)

[forest saffron]

Dang rip my boy dunsparce

[modest totem]

Tyranitar IS my favourite and I didn’t know what the appraisal button did so I didn’t care

[sharp finch]

I was very sad

[modest totem]

😭😭

[sharp finch]

I love dunsparce and I don't know why

[forest saffron]

Who doesn’t tbh

[modest totem]

Ikr

[sharp finch]

I used it on my first ever team

I mean it was white 2 but still

Would say in my top 15 pokemon of all time

[forest saffron]

Nice

[sharp finch]

And yet the Pokémon in my pfp is way below that

[forest saffron]

Was I the only one who legitimately thought he evolved into drampa

[sharp finch]

A few others I'd assume

Due to rumors in that generation

[bleak skiff]

how many people would it normally take for those shadow regigigas raids?

[quiet kite]

casual or hardcore players?

[fervent pewter]

@trail cloak good run dude!

[trail cloak]

played well, close games vs pocket too

Got knocked to the losers side when my Fairy Winds turned into 4 turn moves and I wasn't granted a rematch

[fervent pewter]

whats the squad?

i dont really follow s6 but id be spamming furret tinkaton corv

[trail cloak]

Gatr's back, it overperformed

[glad niche]

Did you make top cut at a regional?

[trail cloak]

Top 16, yep! Knocked out day 2 in Milwaukee

[fervent pewter]

no tinkaton

!

[trail cloak]

I didn't miss it... But also just didn't want to build a bad one 😅

[glad niche]

Nice job

[cloud ferry]

First one of these

[bleak skiff]

Casual

[modest totem]

Which one? For pvp

[restive turtle]

off field research, hope I get huntail

gorebyss

[modest totem]

😄 huntail

[restive turtle]

oh fuck off :(

sorry I didn't mean that

[modest totem]

if we were closer i would trade it js so u know

[restive turtle]

appreciate it

[glad niche]

Show IVs then we can judge
Also what league is golisopod good in because that one on the right is too high a cp for ultra league

[restive turtle]

ultra and master premier i think

[knotty narwhal]

Well for Master you're gonna need this guy

[arctic hamlet]

so by this logic, this nymble either is floating on the scale or its not supposed to exist at all based on the weight

[fervent pewter]

yoo

[plucky sky]

Probably 0.009kg or less, but the game only displays up to the first 2 decimals. Less than 0.01 kg, but still reasonable tbh for a bug. A house fly irl is usually between 0.00001 and 0.00003 kg. A jelly bean is about 0.001 kg. So a bug being below 0.009 kg is very feasible. Just a limitation of them not wanting to show more than 2 decimals for visual clarity and a clean appearance. Could be as big as 9 grams

[supple scarab]

Boom

[supple scarab]

Got my huge Wailmer finally!

[woeful pulsar]

they're doing machop just in time to drop gmax machamp 2 weeks later

[fervent pewter]

i take it back i would enjoy rhyhorn again

[plucky sky]

As a newer player, I'd take a rhyperior or garchomp

[fossil basin]

I have too many garchomps

rhyperior pls

[unborn garden]

Happy to get enough candy to 50 max a good gmax if I get one

Already have a bunch but stocking up is nice

[glad rover]

Is there a way to change the attacking max move of a pokemon? A Dynamax Rillaboom I have has max strike instead of max overgrowth

[wheat marten]

the max moves depends on the fast move

so you have to use a fast TM if you want to change the max move type

[trail cloak]

For Dynamax Pokemon^

Gigantamax Pokemon have set moves, so you could have Bite Blastoise with its Water Max move

Or, perhaps more relevant, Dragon Breath Charizard with Max Wildfire

[wheat marten]

Gmax type can't be changed yea

at least Gmax moves hit harder

[glad rover]

Thank you

[glad niche]

Well Urshifu is coming
There's a requirement
Defeat 30 dark or water type pokemon in raids and max battles with kubfu. That's ridiculous

[modest totem]

What should shadow shundos be called? Shshundos?

And a shiny nundo would be shnundo and a shadow shiny nundo would be called shshnundo

[restive turtle]

I'm gonna crash the fuck out

actually LIVID

[alpine ether]

bro wtf ive been looking for one for months

https://tenor.com/view/come-here-come-on-sad-im-here-for-you-come-gif-17176157

[restive turtle]

so have i

i got it on my alt

[alpine ether]

oh hell nah dude 😭

[restive turtle]

just scrolled through recent catches and found this though so i guess it balances out

not weather boosted or anything

1/4096 and 1/3375 same day is crazy

and a shiny weedle

[restive turtle]

wow this game is really tryna make up for my misfortune huh

[fossil basin]

So the may battle pass dropped locally in my area

I STILL DONT HAVE IT. Am i just banned. My friend has it

Am i just not part of the testing group

If so how?

[plucky sky]

Its clear that they don't like you personally

[fossil basin]

I realise my alt might have it not my main

[alpine ether]

hate when they do egg events with no halved distance

[modest totem]

I though ts was supposed to be boosted I don’t even want it no more 😭😭

[sharp finch]

Dude I got it release week after a couple hundred encounters

[fossil basin]

500+ encounters

No shiny karp

I ffing complain for once

[restive turtle]

there's half distance but only in Japan and Korea

[restive turtle]

it's 1/128 so you're still technically under odds

[loud gull]

gonna stock up in xl candy

[supple scarab]

Is there any need for me to keep my XXL and XXS Pokemon on PoGo?

Aside from the showcases, there’s nothing they get unlike SV where they get the marks?

[glad niche]

Yep nothing but what you listed here

[fervent pewter]

i dont really keep them at all

maybe during the event jf they have showcases but then transfer them right after

[stray birch]

Will cosmog ever come back to pogo?

[trail cloak]

Everything always does... Eventually

[stray birch]

Not to sound like a nerd, but everything always happens eventually, the saying of how monkeys randomly typing for an infinite amount of time will eventually write Shakespeare

[trail cloak]

With Go, it'll at least come back in your lifetime 🐵

Probably once a year, but it's not guaranteed

[supple scarab]

Fini worth getting another pass for?

Used my free one today and didn’t catch it in 12 balls 😦

[fervent pewter]

do you not have one?

[supple scarab]

Have one what?

[fervent pewter]

its just a dex entry really

[supple scarab]

Is fini not good for raids etc?

[fervent pewter]

nope

cool shiny tho

[glad niche]

No

[fervent pewter]

did yall see the zamazenta buffs

[glad niche]

No

[glad rover]

Dang just checked the game and didn't get picked for the pass again

[plucky sky]

Its true though. We have no info on WHEN it will come back, but most things come back, so thats all we can go by

[plucky sky]

Just pvp. If you don't do pvp, its just a dex entry

[plucky sky]

Same, kinda bs. 2 lucky trinkets I didn't get. Honestly kinda mad. Was willing to buy both of the passes too

[glad rover]

Weird my character's hair just glitch changed, for some reason it was blonde instead of black. Changed it back

[fervent pewter]

@trail cloak any team suggestjon? xD

[trail cloak]

Hmm, Fisk mostly needs grass and ground (Gastro) coverage. Might pair well with Drif? Ice doesn't exist

[fervent pewter]

its def interesting

[sharp finch]

I was going to say Kyurem fusions, but those aren't ultra league

[plucky sky]

If true, that's actually really good for me. My Zygarde is 14/11/11, and I have multiple shiny legends or mythicals with an 11 somewhere. Was kinda upset by the whole "cap of 3 points per stat" thing that people were spreading around, so if this is true, I'm happy about it, even if it takes a long time

[fervent pewter]

it was recently changed to that

[plucky sky]

Yeah, a good change if true. I definitely prefer no hard cap and gating it by time or something

[fervent pewter]

yea 1 year is dope

saves my zygarde meloetta etc

[plucky sky]

[trail cloak]

The hard cap will be the amount of bottle caps we get

I suspect it'll be just like Lucky Trinkets: one per season, if you upgrade the pass. Might even be Go Fest exclusive

[quiet kite]

thats fine, I kinda like having them be rare and exclusive

[lavish finch]

seriously why were they local only, who is getting 40 people around a gigantamax raid

[plucky sky]

This has been a restriction for many years, and has always been bad for rural players. People have been asking for this since the introduction of shadow and elite raids. It really is about time. I assumed they'd never change tbh

[glad niche]

HUGE

[plucky sky]

And with max raids, it only became an even bigger thing, since many people just couldnt interact with half the new content

[plucky sky]

Other changes coming with this

5 -> 10 Daily Remote Raid Limit
1000 -> 1500 MP limit

Remoted Max Battles provide less xp and premier balls than in person ones, which is a fair tradeoff imo

All these changes are permanent as well

[glad niche]

Finally an mp increase

[candid shoal]

A good change for once???? I'm impressed

[loud gull]

Heck yea now I can finally join gmax raids I been missing

Watch as so many players buy the remote raid bundle

[wheat marten]

10 remote is huge lol

being able to remote a shadow is cool too, I want my shiny regis...

[torpid fjord]

So is the shadow remote raids a permenant thing for now?

Or is it a timed event thing

I just saw this

[glad niche]

Read above

[fervent pewter]

more news on hyper training, no buddy requirement!

[plucky sky]

As said above, all the changes to remote shadow and max raids are permanent after they go into effect May 13/19

Including the new daily limits for remote passes and mp

[glad rover]

Guess now that shadow raids aren't local only soon. I can stop just instantly trashing purifying crystals

[kindred musk]

Are we ever gonna get bottle caps?

[kindred musk]

Finally…

About time they decided

I only did one shadow raid and it was mewtwo and it took like 20 mins to get enough people so I never did another one

[torpid fjord]

Thats dynamax raids in a nutshell

Never even attempted a gmax raid yet but i guess now i do have a chance at a shiny gmax charizard

Are the shiny odds bad for dynamax raids?

[fossil basin]

i dont remember the odds thogh

[alpine ether]

they're base odds iirc

Wait does that mean scorbunnys and grookeys shinies are out?

[trail cloak]

It does not

[fossil basin]

Just the shinies assets are pushed in the data not used

[restive turtle]

no Gmax inteleon

[modest totem]

damn

[weary gorge]

I missed kangaskhan raid day 😭

I should have put a remind in my calendar

[weary gorge]

Good

[wheat marten]

I highly doubt we'll ever have bottle caps

and even if they do, they'd put some restriction i.e. can't transfer to HOME

(and of course they're gonna be paid)

[unborn garden]

Pretty sure they’ve been confirmed, I doubt they’d restrict them from being transferred to home, yeah they will def be paid

[plucky sky]

If confirmed means leaked and datamined, then yeah. No official announcement, teaser, or statement from Niantic yet.

[plucky sky]

I guess its possible they scrap the idea, but they're definitely working on it rn based on datamines and leaks

[wheat marten]

restricting to home sounds like a bad idea tho imo

now you have 6IVs dittos

well not entirely a bad thing tbf

and at the very least a 0IV on GO is actually 1IV on main so the demands for 0IV Atk/Spe wont crash considering attack IVs when moved you get both Atk/SpA

[fervent pewter]

ye it's confirmed mane

[plucky sky]

We don't know what they'll do for home, but they're definitely working on implementing the caps either way

[wheat marten]

ah, hopefully they'd announce it soon

thankfully for raids there's usually few people around especially after work hours

[cloud ferry]

I don’t see why these things can’t be transferred to Home… like it’s not that hard to get best natural IV’s in other games at all, arguably way easier. Not to mention that bottle caps exist in other games as well.

[fervent pewter]

why would you want to use a premier item on something to send it to home?

[glad niche]

They gotta stop doing pikachu man. 6!!!!!! 6 new

[alpine ether]

poipole was made naturally xxs right

[glad niche]

No

[alpine ether]

wait so is this something rare

[glad niche]

Most likely

[cloud ferry]

depends on who you are talking to.
to some people, this is pretty cool and rare,
to some other people, not shiny = not rare/valuable

[alpine ether]

odds rare

[glad rover]

Well I just got ripped off, saw there was a Sinistea raid nearby that had a silhouette so assumed it was an authentic Sinistea but was just another phony when I caught it

[restive turtle]

don't you just hate when the stamp of authenticity is made of construction paper

[alpine ether]

drawn on with a sharpie

[cloud ferry]

If odds is all that matters, spinda will get pretty pricey.

[alpine ether]

I'm just asking if xxs poipole is rare odds dude im not trading it away

i got it from the quests and didnt realize it might not have been size set until now

[cloud ferry]

sry, i thought you were asking about how valuable it is since these two words are somewhat synonymous here.
so i was like the value of a pokemon is something totally subjective. there is no point of asking if something is valuable.

[fervent pewter]

[gaunt horizon]

Do I have too many great balls

[trail cloak]

If your bag size is <500, yes

[gaunt horizon]

It's 800

[glad niche]

Never enough pokeballs

I got less than 100 and my bag is over 6k

[wise aspen]

Lol

[restive turtle]

just got fucking robbed

[alpine ether]

are these all on alt too...

[restive turtle]

yeah

i then found out zygarde isn't tradeable

crying

jumpscare

[fossil basin]

Yeah… no

There is a bonus but im lazy to evolve pokemon

[restive turtle]

I'm actually gonna crash the fuck out on god

[quiet kite]

dmax Suicune is ezpz, damage is so low

[plucky sky]

I'll wait until remotes

[alpine ether]

stop catching on alt then wtf 😭

or change mains

[supple scarab]

I don’t have a Garchomp but is this worth keeping?

[fervent pewter]

our 100m meme is dying

[glad niche]

Looks pretty simple

I'll go with no it just does not have a good attack stat

playing with two phones simultaneously

[trail cloak]

Can't be mad when your second 🎲 rolls a 6, then

[loud gull]

oh my goodness I have to fight 15 dark or steel type raids with my bisharp, to evolve it

at least it's a hundo so worth it

[alpine ether]

that bg is gonna look sooo good w gholdengo

[restive turtle]

yeah but i want a hundo

fuck idk what to do

might just hyper train this one when it's a thing

[trail cloak]

Not worth it, just keep grinding

Especially when it's foggy

[unborn garden]

If you find someone who has a lot of ghimmis just spam trades aha, are they specials?

[trail cloak]

They are not

[unborn garden]

That's great then :D

[restive turtle]

I've been trading my alt

that's how i got the hundo ON my alt

[unborn garden]

Haha

That's the risk of alts

[restive turtle]

yeah

caught two hundos within five minutes yesterday then realized i got a third hundo an hour later

then today i found out that the third hundo was actually the second one so i got all three within five minutes

[unborn garden]

Ouch well if they were wild you should have caught them on your main as well

[restive turtle]

and my zygarde was 2*

[restive turtle]

no they were from research/party rewards

[unborn garden]

Yeah at least you'll be able to hypertrain it

[restive turtle]

since my alt is still new the stats haven't been synced

[unborn garden]

Damnnn that's super unlucky then

[restive turtle]

hundo wailmer I got the other day wasn't a hundo on my alt

[unborn garden]

Ah yeah lvl 31 for that i believe

[restive turtle]

sadge

[unborn garden]

You'll get there!

[bleak skiff]

Thoughts on the whole remote trading rumor?

[unborn garden]

Would be good if it's possible

[fervent pewter]

inb4 pay for everyone

[supple scarab]

Is anyone actually evolving for this ‘crown’ event?

[fervent pewter]

if you think about it everything is always evolving 👀

[unborn garden]

I did the collection challenge if that's what you're asking

[glad niche]

How many shinies did everyone get?
I got 5

[alpine ether]

why is there a limit on how many remote raid passes you can carry at a time

thats so inanely stupid

[glad niche]

Always has been 3 since the start

[plucky sky]

Its technically 5, but yeah. You can still buy a pack of 3 if you're at 2, and it let's you hold 5

Still really stupid limit

[supple scarab]

So close 😬

Bleurgh

[supple scarab]

Think I got 5

Nope. I lie. 6

[supple scarab]

Which do I evolve?

[loud gull]

About Bisharp do I need him as my buddy to battle steel and dark types to help evolve it or do I need Bisharp to battle in those raids?

[fervent pewter]

buddy as you raid

[rustic nova]

Is the app just not getting through this loading screen for anyone else or is this a me thing

[supple scarab]

Just you

[plucky sky]

Just you. Its a common bug. Just force quit and try again

[loud gull]

thank you got 1 raid done

[crisp relic]

slenderwoods has given 1 Gen Rep to rvptxr

[fervent pewter]

im waiting for the requirement to be lifted

[rustic nova]

I did & restarted phone and it didn’t help

Googled it and found out if it’s stuck past 50% loading, just turn on airplane mode for a sec and then turn it off and it’ll be fine

That worked

[arctic hamlet]

if you had pawmot in showcases today, they were an ez sweep

they reduced the evolution requirement by 10 fold, but the number of people throwing their 500-600 scored ones today was shocking

[plucky sky]

Depends where you are 100% tho. Every showvase near me was filled with 1000+ ones

[arctic hamlet]

pawmis were worse off, the 3 showcases near me that featured pawmi all had 1100 and above ones. my tallest one today only cracked at 1097 and couldnt even touch the top 3

when i changed to pawmot though, these were clean af. 2 of the ones i won today only had 2 - 4 people, all of them having less than 800 pointers

it was a lakeside showcase for one of the ones i won, which is only a 10 minute drive to one of the longest streets in the world where a gym litters every block

[fossil basin]

10k egg. Its a carbink

[unborn garden]

Every 10k egg is a carbink if you want something from it

[supple scarab]

Which should I evolve?

[unborn garden]

The right is better, shadow tyrunt is coming out in a few days tho so could wait for that

[quiet kite]

if you know you know 😏

[fervent pewter]

fitting !

[supple scarab]

Ohhhh. True true.

[fringe folio]

I just got my first max iv mon

and it’s a shadow scyther

[fervent pewter]

nice bro

[glad niche]

Nice. Those are quite rare

[fervent pewter]

only other shadow 4* i got is carvahna

[trail cloak]

[supple scarab]

🧐

Did they not think to update the dex entry for female Pyroar?

What was consensus on keep/purify/transfer?

[plucky sky]

keep, don't purify

[unique grotto]

The main series games also have dex entries that apply to only one gender. That's the dex entry from X.

[plucky sky]

yeah I think it's more "fun fact about this species" and not specific to the gender. Some of them just single out one gender in the fun fact, but it has nothing to do with the form you personally own or anything. The fun fact is in relation to "pyroar" not "female pyroar". Male pyroar just happened to have a more interesting fun fact for the species as a whole for the dex writers

[supple scarab]

But Pyroar has two separate gender entries in SV, just across the two different games. It’s not hard to code it to do so here

[alpine ether]

there does look like there's a lot of weird empty space in the entry box too lol

I'll DM you my friend code.

Welcome back to the game by the way. Look into Niantic Campfire when you get the chance. It's the official map slash chat option for Pokémon GO. You can use it to find some local players to work with for some of the bigger Raid and Dynamax/Gigantamax targets.

[restive turtle]

been trying so hard to get into a mesprit raid on pokegenie but 9/10 lobbies the host either closed the lobby or timed out

the one raid i was able to get an invite to ended up being an invalid lobby

big hype

[twin cove]

They do, but they remove the floor for takeovers, for people to get PvP ivs

@unborn garden ^

[plucky sky]

I knew Zacian would get Behemoth Blade. People who were sad it wouldnt be good and assumed it wouldn't get Behemoth Blade were coping. This should put it as our best steel attacker for pve, which is insane considering the other options. Also being able to do max battles, and max battles now being more accessible due to remotes means it has even MORE usage. Big hype tbh.

Definitely gonna get a shiny and level 50 it

[fervent pewter]

it got nerfed tho

zamazenta stonks 🫡

[supple scarab]

Which of these should I purify no questions asked?

They're all bad, go for whichever is cheaper / you have more candy for

[glad niche]

Don't unless you have duplicates. That's what I'd do

[supple scarab]

How do I complete the crown clash takeover mission then?

[glad niche]

Oh well if you've gotta do that. Them either drilbur, ferrothorn or machop imo

[gaunt horizon]

I need a guide on creating pokestops that's easy to understand

I'm watching YouTube videos and this seems ridiculously complicated

[fervent pewter]

its not that deep, theres X criteria for what can be a stop, and you submit it in the app !

so think like historical sites, plaques, signs, statues etc

[gaunt horizon]

Oh ok

These YouTube tutorials are overcomplicating things severely

I figured it out just fine without them or downloading their S2 Cell Maps or whatever, IITC Mobile
