[flint wind]

you aint gonna want to be using that for any raidin/pvp so id say it depends on personal preference

[stable sequoia]

Ik

[radiant vigil]

It's beautiful

[final tulip]

slowpoke, more like nopoke

[analog steeple]

Vig is my personal favorite safe swap. It can actually counter Gfisk with Bulldoze and counter fast move

Depending on the prevalence of nidoqueens in the upper levels I’m planning to sub out azu and put in vig so I have two nido counters

[fluid eagle]

@analog steeple so youd say the stats are good and the poke is defo worth a consideration?

personally i have no experience with vig so im clueless to its ability

[analog steeple]

I’d say I can’t think of a bette safe swap at the moment besides vig

[fluid eagle]

brill then ill work on it 🙂

[analog steeple]

Stats are great and up to you to invest! I’m personally waiting to see if I can catch a better ranking mon

My best is a 398 at the moment

[radiant vigil]

man gfisk is annoying me in the pleb stages maybe i should consider

i missed out on my mienfoo cos i lost too much LOL

[analog steeple]

I’m gonna double check if counter is the preferred fast move but if you run body slam and bulldoze you can bully anyone in neutral matchups

[fluid eagle]

99.76% is pretty hard to beat so i might work on the vig

[radiant vigil]

i just have lucario chilling in the last spot but the weaknesses are very bad XD but no idea what to swap it with

the number of times i've accidentally put lucario against another fighter then realised i was weak to it

[analog steeple]

What do you have Milli?

[fluid eagle]

i like azu

[radiant vigil]

azu / alt / lucario

[fluid eagle]

been experimenting alot tbh

[radiant vigil]

im just trying to hit rank 10 tho so not intending on blowing a lot of dust XD

[fluid eagle]

tryed a-graveler, wigglytuff, altaria, flygon, lapras

[radiant vigil]

they all have double charge moves from long ago though lmao

[analog steeple]

Azu/alt is pretty solid since altaria has a sky attack move

[flint wind]

i want comp skarmory

[radiant vigil]

that one honestly can come down to the order you have them at XD

[fluid eagle]

i got a decent abomasnow/a-sandshrew that needs second move to be viable

[analog steeple]

Ye that’s why I really love the idea of a safe swap aka a mon you can toss at a bad lead and it can get back a shield or just save you from that matchup

Vigoroth got locked onto my Gfisk and actually made me sweat when it threw a bulldoze

Best thing about it in the great league is most folks aren’t running mono fighting so you can almost always be sure it’ll be safe

[radiant vigil]

true true i always struggle with the last team member

azu / alt pretty standard

[analog steeple]

An umbreon is good too. Tanky boi

[primal sluice]

Cho who would u swap in a team of azu Altaria and normal stunfisk for umbreo

[analog steeple]

Only downside is the prevalence of charmers rn

[fluid eagle]

^

[analog steeple]

Honestly I’d drop altaria personally

[fluid eagle]

i got a good mandibuzz i love

[flint wind]

just need a charged tm and then ima be runnin a-ninetales

[fluid eagle]

cant use cause heavy charmers

[analog steeple]

With Gfisk running around it’s very vulnerable on that matchup

Unless you hide her in back in which case drop stunfisk and plan on umbreon being the safe swap

[radiant vigil]

i got rekt by sceptile

[analog steeple]

Dude I got recked by mandibuzz locked onto tropius 😆

Poor girl fought with her life

[primal sluice]

Was planning on this since my alt doing good on this but idk abt my main acc ranking

[analog steeple]

Main keeps flirting with Ace rank. So close then I whiff it

[fallen quarry]

does galarian slowpoke need to be your partner to get the galarian slowbro? with the 30 poison catching

[analog steeple]

Alt was at 18 matches won then got beat down by the meta bois lol

[flint wind]

yep

[fallen quarry]

:'(

[modern nymph]

Is earthquake good for snorlax for use in raid/gym or should I give him something else? Oh he know zen headbutt

[primal sluice]

My main jump from 1750 to 1820 I think and then yeet I drop to 1720 😭😭😭

[analog steeple]

Yeah those drops are heartbreakers

[primal sluice]

Like ranking up move so slow but dropping down is like eating ur fav dessert as if it is never been there before XD

[analog steeple]

I was at 1984 at one point then just hit a 2-3 then went back down to 1950 or so lol

So annoying

[flint wind]

last season i was instaplooped into ace

[analog steeple]

I was running fricking alolan raichu until like midway through last season lol

[primal sluice]

I always use my gfisk into raichu cuz I can’t tank most of the charges and i also do bonus dmg to them XD

[surreal violet]

Body slam good too for bait

[fallen quarry]

all the abras keep fleeing what the heck

[rough robin]

Draw me like one of your galarian girls

[stable sequoia]

F

[modern nymph]

so this spotlight hour - is it just for 1 hour or does it last longer?

[final tulip]

1 hour

[west marsh]

Always an hour every Tuesday from 6-7

[modern nymph]

sweet, got a 98% abra

is he good to evolve to alakazam?

[steel parcel]

depends if you want his comm day move or not. alakazam’s not really used in pvp or pve though so why not evolve

@analog steeple @primal sluice went 3-2, 1-4, 2-3 and now my rating’s down to 2020 i don’t think tonight’s my night

[analog steeple]

Oooo sink a bit lower to battle me

1980 scum here

Won a few battles with folks falling for the sack swap

[steel parcel]

too high level for me

my strategy is to have no strategy

[lucid frigate]

Still rank 17, haven’t had much motivation for pvp lately

[charred rapids]

Rank 5 and flexing my shiny goon

[primal sluice]

Ammmm rn I’m rethinking if i should just make my alt as my main acc my alt just meet level 20 starting off with 1830 way better than my main 😭😭😭

[steel parcel]

i honestly can’t believe you’re doing pvp on multiple accts lol. sometimes i don’t even play all 5 sets in a day

[primal sluice]

XD when ur a freeloader like me u can get it down 😭😭

[abstract raven]

People not raiding the Regis anymore? T-T

[charred rapids]

I am now I just shifted my focus elsewhere for a moment.

Got raid hour tonight for steel, will do any around me (4 gyms so pray they don’t have anything garbage on em).

[west marsh]

You can still find a few people joining the PokeGenie Queue for regis but it’s very little. The hype definitely went away. Probably because most people got their shinies or good IVs the first few days.

[abstract raven]

Yeah ik but Im having shit luck with Shiny Registeel/Ice xD

[radiant vigil]

omg shiny registeel hour today? i still need it

question is do i want to get home late for this

[charred rapids]

[abstract raven]

@charred rapids can we do this with 3 People? xD

[charred rapids]

Nope, sorry I sent all my invites out too.

[abstract raven]

lol

[charred rapids]

No ones interested

[abstract raven]

RIP

[charred rapids]

I’d post but it would take people like 2 hours to respond

[abstract raven]

your good

[radiant vigil]

Would 4 be doable

[odd glade]

I like how you save dust for months, just to spend it all in 1 day

[analog steeple]

Finally got a few good sets today. Point of pride was taking out a bastidon/deoxys team

[radiant vigil]

Nice I haven't seen any of those let in the lower leagues I did see a registeel when it swapped into lucario for some reason?

[charred rapids]

is the best way to get hundos is just to mass trade for it?

[rustic nova]

probably yeah

[steel parcel]

yeah odds of getting a hundo from a lucky trade are 1/64, definitely highest odds there

or if you have a local discord that posts hundo spawns

[primal sluice]

Dang look at u go someone rlly determine this season XD

[analog steeple]

Tryna hit expert 😆

[primal sluice]

So far my goal have already accomplish XD only my last alt need to be rank 20

[charred rapids]

how many alts do u have? XD

[primal sluice]

Should get it before the week out so yea on the 16th imma use my main

[primal sluice]

3 accs I have

Usually suppose to be 2 acc but then my sis give me hers after I make my alt

[stuck schooner]

Every where I go I see his face

[inland moss]

So is there an event or something like why so many registeels

[steel parcel]

raid hour

[inland moss]

What now?

I just want like a yveltal or something that’s not a regi

I want my first raid too be a legendary but ya know... one I find cool o3o

I also only have 1 remote pass so

[primal sluice]

@steel parcel what would you do in a team of azu altaria normal stunfisk which one would you swap for umbreon?

MELLOW

king of invites XD

[tight pilot]

Yveltal was in raids May 16th - 31st ish, now its regis and after hasnt been announced yet but regis until the 16th or 17th of june i believe

[inland moss]

Rip

[tight pilot]

Been a wittle afk but hihiii

Regis can all be shiny tho, Yveltal couldn’t (when he was just in raids) so theres that

[primal sluice]

im still hunting down regi ice as GBL encounter if i dont get it i might need the last min raid XD

[tight pilot]

I gotchu use this weekend for double candy

Not like regice any good

[primal sluice]

i like the collection V:

[tight pilot]

I meant abt the double candy but yeah same here gotta have atleast a few in the collection

[steel parcel]

probably stunfisk. umbreon picks up wins against dd, sableye, swampert, and cresselia. what are you running on azu?

[steel parcel]

4 out of my last 6 encounters have been regice i just want my mint chocolate regi

[primal sluice]

im running rough play and hydro pump rough play is for mirror matchup

[primal sluice]

i havent gotten any shiny from encounter T.T

[tight pilot]

I think only GBL shiny encounter ive ever gotten was tophat squirtle last October

[primal sluice]

i was thinking altaria since it will be a very weak team against fairy type

[inland moss]

Question the typing super effective stuff is the same right?

[steel parcel]

mostlyyy except there's no immunity

[primal sluice]

only good encounter is that hundo pollwhirl :V

[inland moss]

k

So my hatching should be fine against registeel if I’m correct

[steel parcel]

hatching?

you mean fletchling?

[inland moss]

I ment garchomp

Aka my strongest Pokémon

[tight pilot]

What level are you? You’ll likely want a raid with 7-10 ppl if lower level just to be safe 🙂

[steel parcel]

lol definitely. this was my team for the last registeel raid i did

[inland moss]

I’m level 20 but if we talking about my Pokémon by garchomp is 3022

And then it gets hella worse from there

2nd highest being a 1413 slowbro

[tight pilot]

I’m on stupid level 46 challenges “win 30 raids with a team of all unique pokemon” so i’ve been going jnto regis with some funky teams and been fine

[steel parcel]

i’m so glad to be done with that. had some very weird teams for a while

[inland moss]

I just wanna do my first raid and maybe a legendary one like

I want a legendary or too beat a mega is my like goal with this remote pass

[charred rapids]

thats quite good

[inland moss]

Yea it’s one of the 4 shiny gibbles I got from that one event

He was the strongest so level him up with the like 250 candy I had named em gibby and here we are

Btw what is gbl

[charred rapids]

go battle league

[inland moss]

Oh yea gross I don’t like the pvp in this game so xD

Tried something pvp once and hated it

[charred rapids]

ye it annoys me too much lol

[steel parcel]

if you start now, you'll have a huge advantage over all the ppl who don't know anything about type matchups

it's a good way to farm dust at least, i usually get ~100k a week

which immediately goes back into pvp lol

[fluid eagle]

^

aye hit level 32 now! 🙂

[charred rapids]

congrats

[analog steeple]

I don’t get a single Registeel lol. All rock or ice

[primal sluice]

got rock and steel no ice T.T

[pulsar thunder]

Question for ppl with alts; is there a way for me to log distance on both accounts? I have an alt (found my old password from 2016) on my android tablet and my main is on my iPhone

[twilit sapphire]

log distance?

[pulsar thunder]

Like to hatch eggs or for adventure sync

[charred rapids]

nah if its seperate accounts

[pulsar thunder]

Ah true, thanks

[analog steeple]

Yeah I haven’t found a solution either

My main is tied to my Apple ID so don’t wanna fuck up my main account

[pulsar thunder]

Ooof kk was thinking of logging in/out but sounds like a hassle

[analog steeple]

It’s a bit of a hassle and the few times I’ve tried ive lost my distances covered

I’ve taken to just walking around with a light backpack and toss the alt phone in there

[pulsar thunder]

Ah smart

[leaden arch]

What’s Giovannis Pokémon right now?

[pulsar thunder]

It should still be the legendary birds iirc

[leaden arch]

Rip I just want a mewtwo

[pulsar thunder]

Same lol, I have a spare super radar saved for it

[twilit sapphire]

1- Persian as always
2- Kangaskhan, Nidoking or Garchomp
3- Zapdos

[leaden arch]

Ty Aimee

[pulsar thunder]

Oh wow he has Garchomp now

[twilit sapphire]

time to save radars for mewtwo again for my collection of shadow cats with awful ivs

[leaden arch]

How do you get more than 1 super radar?

[twilit sapphire]

Please give me a better iv shadow catto next time

i got it from events as far as I remember

probably from GO fest and other thingie i forgot

[leaden arch]

Ah ok

[pulsar thunder]

I gotta buy that pass soon

[twilit sapphire]

i've had so many alien cattos but still no hundo

[primal sluice]

u sharing those cat?

[twilit sapphire]

i've already given away here like 15-20 normal mewtwos i've transfered from let's go to here and still have plenty of them

the shinies probably will keep unless a lucky friend asks me for a mirror trade

[primal sluice]

T.T im yet to catch my first one XD

[analog steeple]

Werent playing during kanto day?

[primal sluice]

i dont believe so

[mental creek]

so many psyduck

[modern nymph]

careful they may start singing in korean

[mental creek]

why

[modern nymph]

https://tenor.com/view/psy-gangnam-style-oppa-gangnam-style-gif-9227998

[mental creek]

also

there's 5 registeel raids here

[modern nymph]

nice

[mental creek]

there's another one to the left

[modern nymph]

hmm maybe i should wait for raid hour my time

it starts at 6 pm local time

[mental creek]

that started 43 mins ago for me

[primal sluice]

@steel parcel what 2 charge move should be on umbreon?

[analog steeple]

Last resort and foul play

If you run it without last resort the poor thing gets mauled by azu

[primal sluice]

o so last resort help me fight azu in a 1v1?

[analog steeple]

It’ll help you not get bullied by azu. It does great neutral damage

[primal sluice]

o i use the name trick to evolve him

and it told me i cannot use charged tm to change his attack

o nvm it need elite tm T.T

[fluid eagle]

d3v

got a 96% gl swalot

[twilit sapphire]

i have a hundo slowpoke but for the memes i prefer to not evolve it

[fluid eagle]

looks super interesting since its got the poison to stop azu and ice beam for altaria and such

[twilit sapphire]

[fluid eagle]

not maxed

its like 0 attk 15 def n hp

its gl maxed*

@twilit sapphire dont want a hundo slowking?

[twilit sapphire]

yeh, maybe, but hundo slowpoke it's cuter i rather hope to get another one later to evolve

No shundos ever but

[fluid eagle]

some nice hundos though

i got g-rapidash, gengar and thundurus hundos 🙂

[twilit sapphire]

legendary hundos are really good as collection so lucky

[analog steeple]

Got a wimpy collection. Working on it

[fluid eagle]

@twilit sapphire it was from my first ever raid a mate helped me find a group

he was not pleased when he seen it was a hundo lol

[twilit sapphire]

newbie luck is amazing normal reaction from your mate

[twilit sapphire]

all the chomps

[analog steeple]

Chomp for days

[twilit sapphire]

here are part of the rest of the hundos, the ones not showing are bbys

still waiting for the lucky day of having a shundo

at least i have a shnundo

[analog steeple]

Closest shundo is 98 for me

[fluid eagle]

id love a shshundo

[twilit sapphire]

Its really great having one

[lucid frigate]

Closest ive got is a pvp shundo

Rank 1 shiny electivire

[fluid eagle]

ooo nice

id like a pvp shundo tbh like one for gl

id probs use it more then

[analog steeple]

My closest is a 228 porygon lol

[radiant vigil]

ooo shiny nundo

[final tulip]

well shnundos are objectively rarer than shundos

[radiant vigil]

agreed, i can accidentally delete nundos because i am too lazy to check but not hundos

[analog steeple]

Milli I see you finally got mint!!!

[primal sluice]

whiles me in gbl praying for one hahahaha

[analog steeple]

Honestly the legendary encounters have been awesome

Seen a ton since I hit 20

[primal sluice]

ihave encounter a few just not shiny XD

[radiant vigil]

last raid of raid hour yesterday 😄 maybe now i will casually try for choco rock but steel was the main one 😄

[analog steeple]

I think I’m also doing the casual hunt for a rock 😆

It’s cool but not cool enough to chase

[radiant vigil]

yeah already burnt a lot of coins lately so i will save them i will walk up to rock raids if i see them though haha

[analog steeple]

That’s me with slaking at the moment. Won’t burn coins but definitely hauling ass for it

[radiant vigil]

pinap your slakoths!

[analog steeple]

Way ahead of ya! Started yesterday with 0 and am now at 225

270**

[radiant vigil]

it's not expensive to evolve i dont think

[analog steeple]

Also did two raids during 2xp catch

40 candies each raid!!

[radiant vigil]

juicy 👀

[analog steeple]

Yeah only 25 to evolve but I think it’s 100 candies or so to power up

This is where all my dust goes

[radiant vigil]

my 4k cp one wasn't even powered up, natural L35 catch

[versed carbon]

My pokemon spent 20 days at my local gym

[stable sequoia]

Oops

[radiant vigil]

going on holidays usually involves me trying to find a gym that'll last as long as possible

[sleek quarry]

Nothing your city's hundo detector telling you there's a gulpin right by your apartment just for you to catch it and it transforms into a 1* ditto :(

[subtle bough]

ditto: i can transform into any pokemon u want

[abstract raven]

I now only need Regice and Snorlax Raids! I got 4 shiny Registeels this Raid hour

[analog steeple]

What the fuck

Our group is 0/40

[abstract raven]

I didnt asked for this!

I was doing Registeels to help my friends

and got 4 total

[analog steeple]

Your life is so hard

[abstract raven]

yeah but when Regice comes out Im not gonna get it T_T

[radiant vigil]

You always seem to have crazy shiny luck

[charred rapids]

Is it rare to find a galar slowpoke?

[steel parcel]

it’s in raids and research rn

[charred rapids]

Ok ty imma try look for one tommorow

[modern nymph]

Curious question how do you get enough remote pass ?

[twilit sapphire]

You buy them

This month you can get 1 free from each research box you complete every week

but mostly is by buying them, they ain't that expensive but well you know they had this limit of how many you could have at the same time

tho im pretty sure this month also had the limit off to get more of 3, if i remember correctly

[sleek quarry]

I think you can hold 5 max at the moment. Wish they'd bump it up to ten

[steel parcel]

you can exceed 5 if you get passes from weekly breakthrough

[lusty spoke]

Wait they stopped giving em out from the weekly gifts ?

[fallen quarry]

yes last month the research breakthroughs were galarian ponyta and now theyre remote raid passes

[lusty spoke]

Wow welp back to doing research breakthroughs

[radiant vigil]

I feel like it's a sneaky way to get people to forget...

I essentially missed one cos I claimed breakthrough on my June 1 but the new boxes hadn't started yet

[rustic nova]

I did too

[fallen quarry]

saaaame

[radiant vigil]

Don't understand why these can't be local time when special research is

[odd glade]

Nobody posted what we all already knew 😦

[woeful pulsar]

i hate it

[elder cloud]

Its beautiful

[ivory halo]

I already have plenty of Pikachus, I would love to see Emolga and Togedemaru in PoGo

[analog steeple]

Emolga is in pogo

Yeeted my others but yeah

[west marsh]

Emolga is just more rare to see sadly. I’ve only come across 7

Oo this is neat. Idk if this has been posted yet.

[winged vigil]

Oh, neat

[west marsh]

Kind of excited.

[winged vigil]

Yeah, I feel like it's been a long time since I've seen Giovanni

Need that shadow birb

[west marsh]

It’s been a long time since we had something new so I’m happy about this. Maybe we’ll see Lugia after Ho-oh as they tend to go together a lot haha

[stuck schooner]

How do you get more special challenges? My friends got like 20 and I've got two

[west marsh]

Like special research?

[twilit sapphire]

Special researches are limited time most of them

except the ones which gives you Mythicals

of course, except shiny Celebi since you needed to play during a specific time window to get the research

A Mythical Discovery - Mew
A Ripple in Time - Celebi
Let's GO, Meltan - Meltan
A Thousand-Year Slumber - Jirachi
Investigate a Mysterious Energy - Victini

these are the ones you get eventually as you play

but the whole others are stuff you needed to be there in the right time to get them, even if they can't expire, you needed to be around to get them

community day tickets gives you special researchs too so your friend might have lots because of that

[steel parcel]

yea i feel like they should have made the weather week research limited

[modern nymph]

oh wait so eventually i can get mew as i do those research stuff?

[twilit sapphire]

it sucks i missed a couple researchs and stuff

yeah

you can get pretty much those just by playing

wish i had every research tho

[modern nymph]

man i'm only just started

[deep pulsar]

Same basically

I’m still trying to get enough coins for a pass to mega raid

[twilit sapphire]

i don't remember what do you need to get the research be available for you, since i was there the day it dropped, probably a level 30 or some shit

but well you want to prepare for that

go get saving magikarp candies

[vestal hollow]

im stuck on one task bc im just unfortunate enough to have not found a ditto yet 😭 not ready for the mew one yet either

[deep pulsar]

😮

[vestal hollow]

only one i think i enjoyed finishing was the shiny celebi one

[twilit sapphire]

you'll be asked to evolve a magikarp in one of the mew tasks

[flint wind]

yep

[deep pulsar]

I kinda liked that too

[twilit sapphire]

so, you better save or walk a karp to 400 candies

[deep pulsar]

😭

[modern nymph]

damn

[vestal hollow]

yeah there's not gonna be many karp nearby... i live in a desert 😭

[modern nymph]

and i just transfer a magikarp not long ago

[twilit sapphire]

that's probably the "hardest" task of the event

[flint wind]

luckily i knew of it
when lunar new year came i obtained over 1k magikarp candy and now have a maxed shiny gyra

[twilit sapphire]

for ditto you only need to keep catching everything you found that can be ditto and it will be there

specially now since Gulpin is appearing a lot

and well ditto can be gulpin

[flint wind]

bidoof was my savior

[modern nymph]

yeah i found one of my gulpin as a ditto

[deep pulsar]

I had a ditto but sent it to home and well I don’t wanna talk abt that

[twilit sapphire]

karp candies come and go dont worry

but you need to save yeh

[modern nymph]

7 thousand. how?

[ivory halo]

OH MY GOD,

[deep pulsar]

Probs walking

And catching them

[twilit sapphire]

double candy events during water type events

was a blessing

also i like to pinap every karp i see to get my candy collection bigger

[deep pulsar]

cool isn’t there gonna be an event doubling candies soon

[twilit sapphire]

also we had a community day early this year so

[modern nymph]

i think this weekend?

[flint wind]

kanto day gave so much karp candyu

[modern nymph]

yeah so june 12-june 13 . double candy from catching.

lvl 40 gets 3x chances of getting XL candies

[deep pulsar]

Cool and lucky for lvl 40s

[west marsh]

if only they would spawn togetic for me

I really need togepi XL Candy lol

Magikarp is the pokemon I have the most candies of because I spent four weeks at nests in my area trying to get a shiny lol.

Pinaps are also very nice 😌 id love to give some candies away to those who need them tbh

[winged vigil]

I was gonna ask if you found that shiny... guess you found it lol

[west marsh]

Haha I did eventually. Took me 3+ weeks. I also just stayed there to work on the XL karp badge. Now I need to find another nest cause my badge isn’t platinum yet

I’m not even close

[winged vigil]

Well, you got more than half of it. That's great

[west marsh]

That’s true haha. I don’t rarely see many good nests anymore

[stuck schooner]

I got my account back from 2016 and the names are so bad

[odd glade]

So shadow Ho-oh👀

[west marsh]

Right?! I’m so excited!

[charred rapids]

is it gonna be a good fire attacker?

[west marsh]

probably not

[flint wind]

prob wont surpass moltres

[twilit sapphire]

i barely see nest now that we can't go out too much

[winged vigil]

Wait, you got nests?

[west marsh]

I have three parks within ten minutes from me that I’m thankful I can see if the nest is worth it or not.

[twilit sapphire]

best fires but

we have 3 big nests in the city, just can't go as often so I missed nest for a year now

[west marsh]

Oh no :(( I’m sorry.

[winged vigil]

Is there a way to spot or find nests? I don't think I've seen any over here

[west marsh]

Uhm, most parks have a nest. The best way to find them I guess is if you find a lot of the same pokemon in a specific amount of area. That aren’t event related.

Like my one nest is jigglypuff but that’s not an event mon so it kind of gives it away

There’s probably a better explanation. I’m not that great at explaining things lol

[winged vigil]

No, you're good

So, irregular spawns. Those show up on radar? Or are those random?

[west marsh]

Uh. Sometimes the radar can help but sometimes it doesn’t

Do you have any parks near you?

[winged vigil]

Yeah, just a small one

[west marsh]

You might be able to find a nest there then.

[winged vigil]

Haven't seen any rare spawns there. Or on a big amount

Guess I gotta give it another try. Thanks for the info

[west marsh]

Well they aren’t always rare but sometimes a nest can show only a few spawns. It’s weird how it works. I have a nest in my one little area that only had like 3 spawns for the nest. It’s weird.

[winged vigil]

Well, some spawns are better than none

[west marsh]

That’s very true haha

[stark narwhal]

New rocket research

yawn

[radiant vigil]

At least its hooh something different

[winged vigil]

Didn't know we could get Shadow Horse

[twilit sapphire]

Nests aren't mostly rare spawns

Nest are easy to locate because of how frequent one species of pokemon appear in a zone

it can only be a spawn point where one species appear every couple minutes/hours

to a place that makes you feel like its comm day

we have a meganest in the city so i like to check every nest rotation

migration is today actually so nests have probably changed already

[winged vigil]

I feel the need to find a nest right now lol

Thanks for the explanation

[radiant vigil]

Usually if you see something spawn frequently but it's not even related it's a nest

Like if I were to suddenly see 5 scyther in the same spot it's probs a nest, but if it were a psyduck nest or something wouldn't be able to tell rn

[fossil basin]

welp i just found a gym with 5 people in the gym as alts

[steel parcel]

shiny is unreleased (i think) but shiny sprites can be seen in dex if you have shiny kanto forms registered

[fossil basin]

ooo

that reminds me i havent evolved my shiny galar slowpoke to shiny slowbro lol

[steel parcel]

you caught shiny galar slowpoke?

[fossil basin]

in sword

[steel parcel]

i would keep it unevolved lol

[fossil basin]

its in a fast ball so i guess i should keep it

as slowpoke

[winged vigil]

As far as I've seen, the G-Slowbro Shiny is not release yet

[primal sluice]

[steel parcel]

i’m going to keep wearing masks long after its necessary, makes me feel like a ninja

[radiant vigil]

It's probs mandatory there rn 😅

[twilit sapphire]

g-slow shiny isn't released but you can still see the shiny version in the dex if you have the normal one registered

[primal sluice]

[radiant vigil]

I can't

[fossil basin]

i cant be bother paying for the ticket. also not sure if another lockdown will be inplace

[steel parcel]

[steel parcel]

[radiant vigil]

[primal sluice]

[steel parcel]

redeem it in the app store

[primal sluice]

[fossil basin]

no snow where we live but at like mt. something lol

[primal sluice]

[steel parcel]

if you bought the giftcard in your country you should be able to redeem it

[fossil basin]

though i do really want meoletta

[radiant vigil]

Place called perisher need to drive 6 hours for it

[twilit sapphire]

I'll buy the pass in 2 days, I'll be finally playing outside after so long

[primal sluice]

the code is from a diff country there is no giftcard in my country T.T

[twilit sapphire]

hope nothing happens by that date

[fossil basin]

im just worried about lockdowns you know?

[radiant vigil]

But there's no deadline to buy so buy on the day before

[steel parcel]

hmm i would redeem for you but idk if that's against t&c

[radiant vigil]

You guys have been in so many lock downs already 😦

[primal sluice]

even if u redeem it how will i get the pokecoins? XD

or how can i buy the stuff from the store :V

[steel parcel]

like i could log in for you and use my itunes balance to get it for you, it's $5 so it's not like it's that much

but that sounds kinda close to a violation of the t&c

but so is having an alt so idk lol

[primal sluice]

idk i have my acc link to my FB so yea... XD

[steel parcel]

offer to wash your parents' car for the $5!

or mow the lawn, kids still do that yea

[radiant vigil]

I could get it but I wouldn't be able to play much xD and I already have meloetta in home haha

[fossil basin]

i can go out but just when will another lockdown be in place.

[primal sluice]

XD GIRLLL im living under their roof and eating from their food and me asking for money

[fossil basin]

[primal sluice]

[radiant vigil]

It should technically be incense playable cos covid is still a thing...

[twilit sapphire]

[primal sluice]

no lucky trade on gible today T.T

[rustic nova]

the most satisfying occurrence in pokemon go is when my gps drifts and i get to check a pokemon i wouldnt have been able to otherwise and that pokemon is shiny

just got a shiny oddish that way

[tight phoenix]

Yes!! Thats happened alot during the gible community day for me

[rustic nova]

i love when it happens during community days

[west marsh]

I love when the drift blesses me 😌

[radiant vigil]

that happened once for me for kanga, i drifted waaaaay off course

[steel parcel]

lol some ppl on reddit were saying catching/spinning on gps drift is against t&c

i say screw the rules, i have pokeballs

[radiant vigil]

....do they have alts, alts are breaking toc

[west marsh]

[twilit sapphire]

[fossil basin]

[ivory halo]

I really like gulpin

Diggy Diggy hole

[fossil basin]

ever wondered if diglet has feet

[ivory halo]

...

Maybe

[fossil basin]

sorry if i bought it up

[ivory halo]

No problem

[fossil basin]

i just thought of that line in pmdEX where diglett say he/she has feet

[ivory halo]

Hmm, that would be interesting

[steel parcel]

idk abt diglett but dugtrio def

https://www.reddit.com/r/Unexpected/comments/nckuzs/dugtrio/

[primal sluice]

@steel parcel finally all 3 acc rank 20

[radiant vigil]

wow nice

[fossil basin]

neat

[radiant vigil]

getting one account to rank 10 already felt like achievement

[fossil basin]

should i make my 15/15/15 egg snivy >_>

[analog steeple]

Ooooo check what I found peeps

[radiant vigil]

[analog steeple]

Viggy safe swap for days

[radiant vigil]

stronk

[primal sluice]

now all im hoping for is that regi encounter T.T

[primal sluice]

is he good in pvp?

[radiant vigil]

[analog steeple]

He’s one of my favorite safe swaps

Bulky and can spam body slam

Also bulldoze if ya invest the second move

[primal sluice]

o well imma go cry now T.T

cuz i think i have a good pvp one and yeeted him LMAOOO

[analog steeple]

[fossil basin]

[radiant vigil]

[primal sluice]

o and today i trade a gible and my alt have a lucky 98% T.T

[fossil basin]

i think my best gible ( now a garchomp) is like 84%

[primal sluice]

i already got a hundo on main but trying to get a lucky hundo or shundo or lucky shundo :V

[radiant vigil]

aiming high

[fossil basin]

whats a egghundo called

oh i think i called it correct lol

[radiant vigil]

well...mine is a shundo that hatched from an egg

i call it a shundo XD

[analog steeple]

I’m surprised there’s not a weirder name

Love pogo, hate the nicknames for things

Shundo just sounds so silly

[radiant vigil]

shlundo, shundo, hundo, nundo

[fossil basin]

ill just call my snivy hundo even if it came from an egg

[analog steeple]

Eggundo

[fossil basin]

oml

[modern nymph]

pokemon go sounds more like learning a new language

[radiant vigil]

seggundo?

[analog steeple]

Shadow shiny hundo - shashundo

[radiant vigil]

or sheggundo?

[analog steeple]

Definitely sheggundo

[radiant vigil]

[fossil basin]

Case in point. This snivy came from an egg

[analog steeple]

Going back to check for sheggundos

[radiant vigil]

i have one

[analog steeple]

3. Not bad

[fossil basin]

so i dont know what to call it lol

[radiant vigil]

not shiny though 😏

[fossil basin]

im still happy with it XD

[analog steeple]

Just eggundos for me

[radiant vigil]

otherwise just eggundo for non shiny?

[analog steeple]

😫

[radiant vigil]

[fossil basin]

my shiny luck has been stupid

thats what i get for not going outsode due to lockdowbn

[radiant vigil]

i have been outside and haven't gotten anything

[fossil basin]

but i got a shiny bulba from hiding at home lol

[radiant vigil]

[analog steeple]

Don’t worry I’ve also been outside and gotten nothing

[fossil basin]

lol i keep throwing my pokeballs too early to get excellent throws XD

[radiant vigil]

or you get the perfect throw and it attacks

[analog steeple]

Or it breaks out. You miss the next excellent and it catches

[fossil basin]

i guess i have to walk aroud my house to make my eggs hatch

[radiant vigil]

adventure sync and vr games work for me

[ivory halo]

Same

[twilit sapphire]

[fossil basin]

im so confused whats up with the numbers (eg, 1*)

[analog steeple]

It’s the star count

[fossil basin]

oh

[analog steeple]

4* is perfect

[ivory halo]

Wow!

Do you guys want to see more photos?

[radiant vigil]

The sheggundo

[fossil basin]

poor slowpoke

i need to trade some of my gible to check if its a lucky pokemon.

or i want*

[ivory halo]

One more photo?

Ok

Oshi at the beach

[fossil basin]

oh my it reminds me of PMD : GTI

[twilit sapphire]

ar pics are always cute

[rotund copper]

“‘Gullible’ is written on the ceiling”

[radiant vigil]

[fossil basin]

why do i keep get magikarp from 2k eggs

not angry but why

[modern nymph]

wait isn't magikarp hard to find?

[fossil basin]

im not angry im just saying why is m eggs mostly magikarp

[modern nymph]

not giving enough love to the karp?

so it is your punishment

[fossil basin]

im still at that mew quest where you have to evolve a magikarp so guess its okay lol

well i have to catch 9 more ghost types first

i have 96% meltan. dang

[primal sluice]

@analog steeple one of my pvp went rlly weird they had voltorb on my azul so i swap in umbreon and he swap in a psychic type pokemon i take it down and he add another psychic type pokemon and e save his shield for his voltorb XD

[analog steeple]

Weird. Why didn’t he swap voltorb right after the first psychic went down?

[primal sluice]

idk XD

another match i could have lost but then they swap scraggy into my snubbull XD

[steel parcel]

lol very late reply but vig is definitely worth powering up before he’s banned. got a rank 1 i’ve been using with tox lead and skarmory in the back and i’ve been going 4-1 or 5-0 for the last 8 sets

[analog steeple]

Oh I totally forgot about the remix cup

Debating just doing this rank 46. Gonna give myself another day to find better then just gonna do it

It’s a killer and im surprised I don’t see it more

[steel parcel]

yea i built a meta team for my bf and i’ve been coaching him for the last few days but i warned him he’s gonna have to switch in a bit

[analog steeple]

What do you do against other fighters? Skarmory?

Been debating shelfing azu

[steel parcel]

yeah skarm can take a few hits

[charred rapids]

Bruh? I wake up to shadow Ho-oh coming? That’s sick

[analog steeple]

Too much of a liability with nidoqueen running around and other poison mons

[steel parcel]

yea vig with bulldoze can handle nido ez pz

[analog steeple]

For what’s it’s worth pvpoke gives me a BAAA rating with vig/Gfisk/tropius

[steel parcel]

i don’t have a gunfisk for gl haha

[analog steeple]

[steel parcel]

i put one on bf’s team and i’m amaaaazed at how fast it gets to rock slide

[analog steeple]

Gfisk is a stud. And with my current team Gfisk/azu/tropius I can afford to eat a few super effective moves before I have to shield for anyone

[steel parcel]

it’s def better to get good than switch teams constantly but then i know how fast it takes to get to charged moves and how much damage each move takes out

[analog steeple]

Yeee agreed i usually stick one set team

[steel parcel]

someone posted move counting flashcards but i’ve been getting better at it just by trying out different pokes every now and then

i do want to win though but i figure early season is a good time as any to experiment

[analog steeple]

Main thing killing me rn is swamperts with sludge wave and just getting locked in with steel/tropius

Main reason why I’d wanna put in vig. So I’m not double weak to poison

[steel parcel]

vig is great! gets to body slam superrr fast

and nobody shields him for some reason

[analog steeple]

Most folks count on body slam spam

That’s why I like the bulldoze sneak

[steel parcel]

what i’ve been doing is trying out different teams until i get down to 2000-2050 and then switching to my mvps to get back up to 2100-2150

vig is definitely an mvp but i’m gonna need a new team for remix

[rustic nova]

Ppl were sharing egg stuff earlier so here ya go

[charred rapids]

Didn’t know it was the new flex channel

[rustic nova]

Rlly the only flex there is the Conkeldurr tbh

And it’s attack is AWFUL too, considering it’s from an egg

[charred rapids]

Gives me a chance to do this.

[rustic nova]

Yo can you show the rest of ur egg shinies, I’m curious

[charred rapids]

Uhhh I’ll probably dm it, that’s like 3 screenshots

[rustic nova]

Alr

[analog steeple]

That Lucario is niceeeee

[charred rapids]

[fossil basin]

i dont think i have enough good cp pokemon to defeat giovanni :(

[charred rapids]

I want a good shadow Ho-oh so I can use it, incinerate will make it fun to use

[fossil basin]

i would want one but my cp might not be able too

[charred rapids]

Play it smart, find out what he has 🙂 counter it, Persian melmetal is usually good for it, which is also super easy to access.

[fossil basin]

guess ill activate the myster box tmr

[charred rapids]

Yeah melmetal will help, depending on his second Pokémon (we have no clue) and then Ho-oh a good rock type 🙂

[fossil basin]

i dont know how but after my first mystery box opeing ive gotten 200 meltan candy lol

wifi is being annoying now

then maybe regirock

[charred rapids]

It will be out until September so you have some time

[fossil basin]

i see thanks

[timber shadow]

When do we get the special research for the "Super Rocket Radar" for shadow Ho-Oh?

[steel parcel]

june 17

[radiant vigil]

why 3 months to do it though lol

[fossil basin]

i mean i have to some how train my cp on my pokemon to defeat giovanni lol

[radiant vigil]

half the battle is just good matchups, sometimes i need to lose the first battle and rearrange for a second round

cos we don't know what the second one is, and sometimes persian has a nasty moveset

[fossil basin]

i just dont have a good rock type

cause ho-oh

[radiant vigil]

yeah i used ttar but that was the comm day one lol

or rhyperior...also comm day...terrakion...legendary

[fossil basin]

or a regirock for these events lol

but i dont think i have and good cp poemon

[radiant vigil]

you can do it without powerinf up like crazy, really comes down to resistances and damage

but hooh defo you want rock all the way, double weakness

[fossil basin]

i just want to hope that th gps drift goes off and hit the gym near me and there is a regi raid

[radiant vigil]

and people inside

[fossil basin]

its over for now. just need to wear a mask when going out

[radiant vigil]

and enjoy the long weekend?

[fossil basin]

may be

i see a persian and a snorlax on my radar but i cant catch it

[charred rapids]

Snorlax could of been shiny

Milli got nitro

Well the fact we have to defeat leaders with mons under 2500 for a level requirement, means anyone can really do it, just gotta play it smart

There’s a few Pokémon that learn rock moves that aren’t rock types

[fossil basin]

Close enough from an egg

[twilit sapphire]

I have so little shiny hatchs

[radiant vigil]

i'm unstoppable (jk it's the free one via epic haha)

[charred rapids]

I always thought how cool it is, but for $10 a month for emojis? I dunno man

[twilit sapphire]

it is fun to also have bigger upload size

for shitposting

[charred rapids]

Mmmm maybe I’ll do it once

[fossil basin]

well ive gotten free nitro gifts so i guess i cant use it

[radiant vigil]

do it

[fossil basin]

im trying lol

[radiant vigil]

depending on how this goes might tempt me...i use discord more than my netflix sub and i'm sinking $16 a month on that

[fossil basin]

[charred rapids]

Fair but it’s just for extra emojis

I’ll probably do it for a month and then drop it for a couple, then do it again

[radiant vigil]

but they're animated

and you can use them anywhere

[charred rapids]

[radiant vigil]

[fossil basin]

i cant use it

guess ill just give it away

[radiant vigil]

[charred rapids]

[radiant vigil]

i didn't have nitro before so probs why it worked ok for me

[charred rapids]

You’re enjoying it way too much

[radiant vigil]

i feel like i always had nitro fomo, seeing all these damn cool emotes

[fossil basin]

also may i ask millia, did you have to put a credt card

go tell me in dms if you want to amswer

[radiant vigil]

i had to put in payment method yea

but paypal cos lazy and i did this on the train

the usual carrot and stick with these free sub things ya know?

[fossil basin]

yeah thats true

[radiant vigil]

will just enjoy for now

[stuck schooner]

Don't have the flex chat yet but this is pretty cool

[abstract raven]

@twilit sapphire Im jelly of that Shiny Riolu lol ive been trying to get a shiny/good iv one for awhile

@stuck schooner y did u even purify it..

[charred rapids]

Purifying legendaries

[radiant vigil]

It's a hundo now at least 👀

[stuck schooner]

Why wouldn't I purify?

[charred rapids]

Better as a shadow

[radiant vigil]

Shadows have higher atk compared to normal

And cos of rarity usually it's better to leave as even weakest shadow is stronger than hundo purified

[radiant vigil]

I see someone also got nitro

[charred rapids]

I wanted a taste, see what it’s like, money’s a bit touchy

[radiant vigil]

Yeah 3 months is nice

[woeful pulsar]

new load screeeen

[twilit sapphire]

cuute

[odd glade]

🥰

[charred rapids]

[radiant vigil]

[fluid eagle]

@charred rapids bro are nidoqueens any good?

seen quite a few in pvp

[unique hazel]

MELOETTA

[radiant vigil]

Poison moves have been boosted so handier against all the charmers I reckon

[unique hazel]

I NEED IT! seriously i love it too much

[radiant vigil]

[charred rapids]

Yeah queen is decent especially now that poison fang lowers defence

So spammy

[fluid eagle]

what you guys think about this

[rotund copper]

Don’t purify

[fluid eagle]

im not gonna 🙂 since shadow gives 20% extra damage

i think

[radiant vigil]

Beautiful

[fluid eagle]

im so excited aswell @radiant vigil 310/400 magikarp candy and i got 50 rares 😉

[radiant vigil]

Oooh walk karp don't use the rare candy on it xD only 1km per candy you'll get that fast

[fluid eagle]

yeah i know just wanna get it done for the tasks since

its slowing me form getting jirachi quests and such

[radiant vigil]

Think if your buddy is excited it's one candy every 500m

[fluid eagle]

excited?

[radiant vigil]

If you feed it a poffin or play with it a lot

Can get double friendship hearts with your buddy

[fluid eagle]

ow yes im familiar with poffins if you feed a buddy one its full for the day right?

[radiant vigil]

I've never actually fed a poffin not 100% sure

I don't play with my buddy much lok

[rotund copper]

It doesn’t last the whole day, but it lasts awhile

[stark narwhal]

How does everyone get the new loading screen? I don’t have any available update on the App Store.

[charred rapids]

It will come, some will get it before others

[steel parcel]

oof. i was abt to power up my shadow m2 earlier and hit purify instead but backed out just in time

[radiant vigil]

close call

[steel parcel]

my heart was racing

[lusty spoke]

Is that a smol ludicolo

[radiant vigil]

It is a little bit of everything

[lusty spoke]

Oh my godnit is

[radiant vigil]

[rustic nova]

I’m gonna be out of state during the July comm day

I hope I’m able to play some of it, and I hope it’s not something I’ll be upset over missing

[radiant vigil]

We just came off gible so next one likely to be underwhelming

[charred rapids]

Oh yeah probably even a starter

Which would be nice in a way

[lusty spoke]

👀👀

[rustic nova]

I think there is an okay chance that I won’t be busy that entire day, I just prob won’t be able to play the entire 6 hours

[fluid eagle]

i wouldnt mind a mudkip/treecko comm day starter wise 🙂

[tight pilot]

^ already been had, it’ll be a gen 5 starter if any

My guess would be Oshawott next but could be Tepig idk

[fluid eagle]

probs, snivvy was a couple months back

[charred rapids]

Fire is usually before water

Every starter comm day went grass, fire, water.

[lusty spoke]

Maybe they'll Spice it up

[rustic nova]

The only thing I’d be okay with missing completely is prob if they do another Weedle or Seedot day lol

[lusty spoke]

Seeing as tepig has had a hell of a lot of screen time recently

[fluid eagle]

id love a seedot

need a good shiftry

[woeful pulsar]

this should be interesting

[lusty spoke]

Ruh roh

[charred rapids]

[lusty spoke]

Do we know the other 2 legends returning for this event or do it be shrouded in secrecy

[fossil basin]

welp ive tried to make great throws, they broke out, when i mess up they catch. seriously

[charred rapids]

Shrouded in mystery

Hoping for shiny regigigas debut

[lusty spoke]

What would the 5th legend be tho 👀👀 like shaymin ?

[charred rapids]

Nah

I’d be shocked if shaymin will ever become a raid boss.

It should be like mew, celebi, jirachu etc. sucks that it got skipped for go fest, would of preferred shaymin

[lusty spoke]

Still waiting on the sinnoh trio to return

[charred rapids]

The lake spirits

[fluid eagle]

hmmm what i want i garuntee will be awhile till they come

[steel parcel]

what, galar legendaries?

[fluid eagle]

id love buzzwole/regieleki/draco

[lusty spoke]

No dialga palkia gitatina

[charred rapids]

Oh yeah you’ll be waiting awhile

[lusty spoke]

Not the horrific lake trio

[lusty spoke]

[fluid eagle]

@charred rapids i feel like i have more chance with buzzwole since its what gen 6-7?

which is earlier then galar

[charred rapids]

Dialga and palkia will be shiny debut on sinnoh remakes

[lusty spoke]

Buzzwole was 7

No 7 it was 7

[charred rapids]

And I dunno maybe the mystery raid mons are the other two regi’s

[lusty spoke]

6 was X and Y

[fluid eagle]

i stopped at sapph/ruby/emerald and started back at sword so i got gaps in my knowledge 🙂

[lusty spoke]

6 X and Y

[steel parcel]

i wonder if they’re really going to put all the ultra beasts in raids

[lusty spoke]

God I hope not

[steel parcel]

there’s kind of a lot

[fluid eagle]

theres 9 right

[lusty spoke]

Thats 10 raid passes

[fluid eagle]

so thatll probs be a big event

[steel parcel]

i feel like the show didn’t go into them that much

[charred rapids]

We’ve got other forms of mons from galar, the two regi’s as the mystery raids, there’s two so it would fit

[fluid eagle]

when i was reading up on them on bulbapedia they eac appeared in a episode

[charred rapids]

Who knows, would be a nice time to get money

[steel parcel]

sometimes 2, like blacephalon and xurkitree

[fluid eagle]

and ash owned one so they have got some fans

[lusty spoke]

Ash owned poipole right ?

[steel parcel]

yea, bebenom

[fluid eagle]

@charred rapids thats exactly what i reasoned beginning of the month but it seems too soon i was told

[lusty spoke]

There do be 11 ultrabeasts

[steel parcel]

special research might be a good way to distribute the encounters

[fluid eagle]

poipole can evolve

so thatd probs be the encounter/egg one

[steel parcel]

definitely won’t be in eggs but encounter would be fine

[charred rapids]

It can be too soon depending, but we have obstagoon? Perrserker, we have others from Galar, it wouldn’t be unheard of.

[fluid eagle]

thats what i was thinking tbh

[steel parcel]

don’t let them forget alolaaaa i need my mermaid

[fluid eagle]

another deduction on what it could be was maybe a g-slowking

[charred rapids]

We will just have to wait and see what they are

Would be nice to have new raid bosses or new shiny raid bosses

G-slowking wouldn’t be tier 5

[fluid eagle]

isit the 17th they come out?

yeah i just thought that after i said it

[charred rapids]

Don’t forget guys

[fossil basin]

what level can you get xl candy from?

[lusty spoke]

40

[fossil basin]

im like lv 20+ rip

[fluid eagle]

i hit 32 last night so aways out for this one haha

[charred rapids]

Sucks that it has to be for the regi’s I have no plans on maxing any of them out

[fluid eagle]

but bonus candy for vigoroth gonna be sweet

[charred rapids]

Regice would be a maybe

[fluid eagle]

heard rocks decent

[charred rapids]

Eh if you don’t have rock types already maybe

[fossil basin]

i guess i really want regirock for ho oh lol

[charred rapids]

Rhyperior and tyranitar far exceed it, so yeah would help those that don’t have a good one of those yet

[fossil basin]

lately ive only seen regice and steel

if only i can trade those pokemon lol.

but i guess i cant control em if im under lv 40

but who knows.

[steel parcel]

you can trade the regis, just costs a lot of dust

But to only those in your surrounding area

[steel parcel]

get your mom/dad/sister/dog to play so you can trade w them!

[fossil basin]

i would but they dont want to lol

[radiant vigil]

Tell them it's good exercise!

[fossil basin]

welp i just hatched a slowpoke through a 2k egg lol

[radiant vigil]

Gotta have enough candy for all those evolve quests

[fossil basin]

not a eggdo :(

Well uh. My best magnemite now

[radiant vigil]

Nundooo

[pulsar thunder]

Nice!

Is there a way to see who knocked you out of a gym?

[radiant vigil]

Only if you go to the gym but even then can't be sure

Person who kicked may not have dumped

[pulsar thunder]

Lol like if they put their mon in? I've had someone knock me out a gym two days in a row now but not the other people in there

I got my 50 coins today but only got 10 yesterday from that gym

[radiant vigil]

Ah yeah you can't tell if they don't kick the whole thing out :/

Only if they do put their mon in you can tell yeah..

[pulsar thunder]

ah okay

[modern nymph]

sometimes i feel it takes too much effort to set your pokemon into a gym.

worst when your team dominates the area and there isn't any spot available

[radiant vigil]

I just wait until I see a free spot or take ones out in bush, not as popular haha

[fossil basin]

i cant take any gym now. im stuck at home.

[charred rapids]

One more rank and then I won’t have to worry about pvp

[modern nymph]

oh can someone explain to me more on the pvp. like is there any drawbacks to losing or winning? should i play a certain amount?

[steel parcel]

i mostly play for stardust and free legendary encounters

[radiant vigil]

Now I just need to make sure I hit 49 before the season ends

[steel parcel]

it's also the only part of the game that isn't excessively grindy or repetitive, esp with all the variety in great league, but it's definitely not for everyone

knowing type advantages/resistances will put you ahead of 90% of the players in ranks 1-10 so i say it's worth playing

after a while you need to start thinking about what kind of lineup works best for you (core/safe swap, ABB, etc), shield management, move counting but you don't need to worry abt that early on

[radiant vigil]

I eventually got a mienfoo out of it

[steel parcel]

yea it's the rank 6 encounter this season. such a qt

[radiant vigil]

I only got it rank 8 cos I lost too much earlier lmao

[charred rapids]

You lost to noobs?

[flint wind]

how tho
just howwwww

[steel parcel]

hey, don't be mean

[radiant vigil]

Rank 6 and 7 were quite meta lmao

[flint wind]

just bring ariados and anine in ranks 1-10

[radiant vigil]

Then rank 8 and 9 people used weird shit

[steel parcel]

yea i started running into full meta teams/former legend players around rank 4

[charred rapids]

Yeah I get it I was too, people aren’t messing around this season

[radiant vigil]

Also I refused to spend any dust on my team too so it's stuff from season 1 lol

G-fisk was an annoying bugger

[steel parcel]

your 18 mil dust? milli

you should run an all xl team since you're a millionaire

[radiant vigil]

My azumarill can still be powered up 3 more times before the 1.5k cp cap

I just got cheap... And I have 19 mil now

It has dual charge moves though?

[steel parcel]

nice. hydro pump/pr or ice beam/pr?

[radiant vigil]

Used to run hydro but swapped to ice later

[steel parcel]

good for grassholes

[radiant vigil]

Ew didn't like sceptile

[steel parcel]

tho i haven't seen many grasshole teams this season bc poison buff

[flint wind]

ariados walls grass
and figthing

[radiant vigil]

Yeah and I lead with azu and people don't lead with g-fisk and I didn't see a single basto so no need for hydro

I was so sad when someone running a-wak sensed shadow ball coming from Lucario

Hoped he'd think it was pup and take it but no

[steel parcel]

i wouldn't expect it either lol

they might have just shielded bc they didn't know what he was running

[charred rapids]

Yeah poison buff has probably been one of the biggest things for pvp, ariados, queen, golbat

[radiant vigil]

He shielded it and I was like

[charred rapids]

Making mons that had absolutely no play to being just dominant

[steel parcel]

i'm glad poison got buffed! maybe people will stop asking for charm to be debuffed

i got a rank 3 s-drapion that might get some play now

[radiant vigil]

Baby leagues didn't have many poisons still lots of charmers

[steel parcel]

there's enough steel/ground in the meta to keep poison from being super dominant

[radiant vigil]

Too much g-fisk

Ew ew

[charred rapids]

Yeah poison is still stuck in a rut with the overuse of g fisk and bastiodon

[steel parcel]

i ran a meme team of gunfisk, electrode and amoongus for a bit and it was very fun

[radiant vigil]

Anyway I will stop at 11 and relax

I laughed pretty hard when someone swapped out their altaria to put their registeel against lucario tho

[steel parcel]

oop

[radiant vigil]

It felt very satisfying crushing that metal thing

It gave me nightmares in S1

[steel parcel]

my bf accidentally swapped his altaria into azu and instantly top lefted lol

[radiant vigil]

XD yes I will bail if it's a lost cause

Lucario wasn't meant for this but wasn't sure what to use

[charred rapids]

I swapped a hypno into bastio instead of cham, still won

Let my hypno die and let my cham farm it down, buffed it twice to take everything out

[radiant vigil]

Usually I can out shield because I can kinda guess moves xD until I'm wrong then I lose

[modern nymph]

oh yeah about with stardust. should i be focusing it to help with pvp or more for raiding?

[flint wind]

depends tbh

[modern nymph]

been reluctant using stardust as its kinda limited for me. like i only got 90k

yet i've seen poke genie stats saying some pokemon would require like 200k minimum to be viable in great league

[flint wind]

yea like wobbu and azu

what level are u atm?

[modern nymph]

26

[fossil basin]

welp i think im running out if space for my poke. might as well move some to home...

[flint wind]

the pokemon reccomended to power up might not make it to a high enough cp since pokemon max cp gets higher as u level up

[fossil basin]

oh sorry for barging in

[flint wind]

id reccomend getting some cheaper pvp bois like snorlax (if you find one within the cp range)

lick body slam does wonders in early stages

[fossil basin]

i have a sawk that has body slam but it doesnt do much

[modern nymph]

err well all the snorlax from raid keep giving me like 2k CP

granted i've only done 2 raids for snorlax but that's the trend i'm seeing

[charred rapids]

whats the best thing to lucky trade?

[steel parcel]

i wouldn’t level up anything for pve until you’re level 30, since that’s when you have a chance to catch level 30-35 pokes in the wild
