[torn arrow]

it would actually set you back about $300

[dusty oracle]

Issues occur when they forget to put toggles on, or change their mind and forget to remove the preset for the toggles.

[final tulip]

like druddigon

[dusty oracle]

Exactly!

[rough tapir]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂full Pokédex but you don’t get the Pokémon and we’ll give you a shiny bidoof on top of that. 300 take it or leave it ✋

[dusty oracle]

Or like Go Fest Abra.

[torn arrow]

wait did people only raid drudd for the shiny?

[final tulip]

i feel bad for the guy who did 50 something raids before they turned the shiny on

[rough tapir]

I only raid for Hundo or shiny

Well that’s why everyone raids lol

[torn arrow]

literally nobody cared about druddigon until it was added to go

[dusty oracle]

The aformentioned shadow shinies would have lined up quite nicely with the start of a rocket event that we think got delayed.

And with the delay, they decided to switch the lineup.

[torn arrow]

msg players (like me) thought it was stupid and should never see the light of day

[dusty oracle]

At least that's the running theory.

[final tulip]

i mean i raid for pvp that's why i've been doing fini raids when literally nobody did them after the first 2 days

[dusty oracle]

It's backed up with some mild evidence.

But nothing concrete.

[final tulip]

i mean a guaranteed shadow skorupi would be nice

[rough tapir]

Honestly i cannot raid anymore of the tapus. I’ve done like 10 and have all of them but no Hundo and no shiny

[dusty oracle]

Tapus can't be shiny.

[rough tapir]

Bro

[final tulip]

i want to get a good pvp iv one but i don't want to fight the bug grunt to get a weedle when i already have a rank 10 shadow

[rough tapir]

But it’s a legendary raid?

[torn arrow]

can't be shiny mate

[final tulip]

nothing can be shiny unless specifically announced

[torn arrow]

usually the first time it's in raids it's not shiny

[final tulip]

some exceptions to that like druddigon or rockruff

[torn arrow]

tru

[final tulip]

but yes legendaries are usually never shiny upon first release

[dusty oracle]

This is not ideal, but will serve your purposes.

https://gamepress.gg/pokemongo/pokemon-go-shinies-list

[rough tapir]

Wow well I’m pretty grateful I have this chat 😭😭

[dusty oracle]

It's a little outdated.

[torn arrow]

no worries mate

[dusty oracle]

To be fair, there's no real rhyme or reason to it, and no way you could know from solely ingame.

[torn arrow]

most of us are sometimes happy to help

[final tulip]

keeping up with the in game news is a very good thing to do

[torn arrow]

pogo is getting pretty dead for me, should I return to clash of clans

[dusty oracle]

There's a lot of misinformation around this game as well.

[final tulip]

does that have draco

[faint ferry]

5/15/15 btw
idk if its any good

[torn arrow]

oh yeah that was around for a few hours

someone has a shiny shadow draco meteor a-exeggutor

[dusty oracle]

A fair few do.

[faint ferry]

seed bomb

i only thought to unlock a second move after i evolved it

[rough tapir]

What’s the Draco meteor part mean

[dusty oracle]

Special Moves only go into first slot.

[torn arrow]

that it has the move draco meteor

[final tulip]

hm if it had draco you could use it in some limited cups

[rough tapir]

Ohhhhh

[dusty oracle]

You would have to have TMed frustration off it before the event.

I can spell today.

[torn arrow]

spell today then

[final tulip]

i believe in you

[dusty oracle]

Specifically at a Frustration TM-ing event, as you can't do it under normal circumstances.

[torn arrow]

we're all rooting for you

[faint ferry]

hate how rare elite TMs are... as well as frustration events

[rough tapir]

So u know how ppl have been suspecting zygarde to come? I’m guessing he won’t be shiny either right?

[final tulip]

well with elite tms you can at least get about 4 of each guaranteed per year

[dusty oracle]

Go Fest, and no.

[final tulip]

rocket events are very unpredictable

[faint ferry]

very few mons are shiny at release, often only the regional normal types

[dusty oracle]

It's currently thrice a year on average.

[torn arrow]

about two gio events every year so there's 2 rocket events

[final tulip]

for a f2p player i mean

[torn arrow]

and then one chucked in for the fuck of it

[faint ferry]

they should go back to giving more frequent giovanni events

[dusty oracle]

They will.

[final tulip]

we already had 2 this year so i wouldn't expect one until late june or july

[dusty oracle]

Niantic wants people outside playing PoGo again.

[torn arrow]

I just want the creation trio

[faint ferry]

latios is probably the next one, right?

[final tulip]

that's in plans for 2025

[dusty oracle]

They're nowhere near due a rerun.

[final tulip]

most likely

[dusty oracle]

Almost certainly.

[torn arrow]

wait why

[rough tapir]

2025 😭we don’t even have scarlet violet yet

[faint ferry]

think itll be regis after latios?

[torn arrow]

ew regis

kyogre my beloved

[dusty oracle]

Dialga/Palkia were in raids 10 months back.

[faint ferry]

i have zero kyogre

[torn arrow]

I need better dialga

[dusty oracle]

They're about midway up the pile of reruns.

[final tulip]

imo kyogre and groudon should be back soon because we haven't had an period where they have been in raids where there were guaranteed xl candies from legendary catches

except for go fest but that was 1 day

[dusty oracle]

Giratina's a lot higher.

Kyo/Grou are very high on the list.

[final tulip]

i am praying for giratina-o to be back soon since it hasn't been here since october 2020

or legacy mewtwo

[dusty oracle]

I expect it for Halloween.

[rough tapir]

So is that mega rayquaza I saw ever happening

[dusty oracle]

No.

[faint ferry]

id like to catch some mewtwos... still only have a shadow one with crap stats

[dusty oracle]

Not for a VERY long time.

[final tulip]

not in the near future

[dusty oracle]

M!Ray and M!Mewtwo break the game.

[rough tapir]

At least u have a mewtwo😂

I barely have any legendaries I just started

[dusty oracle]

There's legitimately no reason to run other Dragon Megas/Psychic Megas over them.

[final tulip]

not all legendaries are created equal

[torn arrow]

same I need mewtwo

[dusty oracle]

And BEFORE anyone says anything about ruddy Mega Batteries;

I've already disproven that once today.

[torn arrow]

I have zero mewtwos

[torn arrow]

the fuck is a ruddy mega battery

[dusty oracle]

https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/comments/uufb9o/friendly_reminder_that_mega_altaria_as_a_tanky/i9g694f/

[final tulip]

i want a good legacy mewtwo without using an elite tm

[dusty oracle]

A Mega Battery is a low DPS, high bulk Mega.

[rough tapir]

Love that

[final tulip]

so steelix

[torn arrow]

ok so a chönky mega

[dusty oracle]

And there's a very old article that keeps floating around that has some horrific stats in it.

[faint ferry]

Don't have non shadows for the birds either

[dusty oracle]

And it's the bane of my existence.

[final tulip]

those are some nice shadows

[faint ferry]

dont have the candy to make them useful

[torn arrow]

get candy then

[faint ferry]

cant

[torn arrow]

there's someone parked outside in their van

[rough tapir]

So what’s everyone’s most prized shiny in pogo?

[dusty oracle]

There is no reason to use Slowbro over Blastoise or Altaria over Latios.

[torn arrow]

ask them for candy

[dusty oracle]

Steelix gets a mild pass for being the only Steel Mega, but over MMMetagross, it takes 6 raiders minimum to be worth it, so why both.

[faint ferry]

isnt dragon resistance a reason to use altaria over latios?

[dusty oracle]

Not in the slightest.

It takes 7 raiders minimum for Altaria to be more viable over Latios.

And that's assuming that everyone else is running L40 Rayquazas.

It gets worse the worse counters everyone else has.

[faint ferry]

also accessibility? altaria is far more accessible than a 6 star raid

[dusty oracle]

Eh, fair.

But it takes Altaria 4 raiders (well, technically 3.1) to be worth it over just running Ray.

[torn arrow]

probably my shiny best buddy hydreigon

but I'll check

[final tulip]

i mean these things are more of the nitty gritty parts of the game

if you have enough people you can take down any raid

[dusty oracle]

Plus, as a player, you lose out on Capture balls + Rewards for doing less damage.

[rough tapir]

Getting a shiny from an egg seems impossible to me. Even if you have like 9 or 10 eggs hatching at the same time lol

[dusty oracle]

Because running Altaria means team damage goes up, but your actual individual damage goes down, so less rewards at the end of the raid.

[rough tapir]

How

[dusty oracle]

Event.

Go Tour 2021

[faint ferry]

also 122 candy lol

[rough tapir]

Okay wait

[final tulip]

1/4096 chance for the guaranteed mew to be a shiny

[dusty oracle]

The free research Mew is guaranteed not to be shiny, actually.

[rough tapir]

How did u get shiny mew at the fest tho? Was it from a machine?

[dusty oracle]

Err, no, special research.

You had to pay for a ticket.

[final tulip]

paid research

[faint ferry]

its the only legit way to get shiny mew in any pokemon game since an in person event in japan in 2003 i think

[dusty oracle]

Go Tours and Go Fests' value will depend on your play situation, but they're almost definitely the best value paid events GO does.

They're less worth it if you have little access to stops, are stuck inside, have few spawns, can't play for all of the time, or can't move around.

If you go full tryhard, they're pretty worth it.

[faint ferry]

it took me until about 2 months ago to complete the mew research

wasnt able to complete the kanto dex before the event ended so had to find trades for region exclusives

and then dragons werent spawning for ages

[dusty oracle]

I started Go Tour Johto with 39/100 Johto shinies registered, and ended with 89/100.

[final tulip]

damn i just went up against jonkus

[rough tapir]

The mew research is dumb. I have 4 dittos but yet still can’t find one for the research

[dusty oracle]

I'm not quite as extreme as some of the true tryhards, those guys go nuts.

[faint ferry]

ditto tasks are always stupid

[final tulip]

was a good game

@lucid frigate @analog steeple

[rough tapir]

Is my shiny gible even rare? That’s what I wanna know lol

[dusty oracle]

https://twitter.com/aka_inte_ddr/status/1526506689498947584

[faint ferry]

gible had a community day a while back

[dusty oracle]

983 catches in an hour.

[analog steeple]

[dusty oracle]

Guy is absolutely nuts.

[lucid frigate]

Oh wow gj, how were the team comps?

[faint ferry]

how even

[dusty oracle]

No shiny is ultimately that rare, except the mistake ones.

[analog steeple]

I’ve been absolute dung in ML. Finally trying gyarados

[final tulip]

i was running mamo/db gyara/ms/ep/outrage garchomp against haxorus/snorlax metagross

[analog steeple]

Mamoooo

[final tulip]

mamo is so good in pc as a lead

[analog steeple]

Ooo maybe I should dust mine off

[dusty oracle]

Spotlight Hour + ARQuickCatch + Perfectplanned route.

[final tulip]

i didn't record the battle because i didn't realize it was him at first

[analog steeple]

Ah balls don’t think I have any hundos

[faint ferry]

1 catch every 3.6 seconds

[dusty oracle]

Yeah

[final tulip]

mine is funnily enough a non lucky traded hundo

[faint ferry]

insane

[analog steeple]

Nice! My best is like a 14/14/12 I think. Might have a 15/12/15

[dusty oracle]

Insane is literally the only word for it.

[rough tapir]

I’ve never gotten a Hundo those are too hard

[final tulip]

the 15/12/15 should do fine imo but you'll need to check the matrix to see how its match ups change

[rough tapir]

I have three 15/15/14

[dusty oracle]

Nothing hard or easy about it. It's more or less luck.

[final tulip]

everything in this game is luck except for whether you win or lose leads in gbl

[rough tapir]

Yeah that’s true but at least give me one niantic 😭

[sleek bane]

Luck and big wallet.. that is how pogo is

[rough tapir]

Big on the 2nd part lol

[final tulip]

i know someone who has both but still went about the same number of raids on shiny ray and shiny costume lapras @tight pilot

[dusty oracle]

That's an unlucky Shiny Ray hunt. 😦

[rough tapir]

I didn’t even know that Lapras could be shiny

[dusty oracle]

Look at the link I sent. 😛

[sleek bane]

Sent him loaaads so i know he struggled 😂 i got 3 shiny laprases in 76 attempts (quests included)

[dusty oracle]

Oh yeah. Haven't said here yet; allegedly the next CommDay (from someone who has been reliable in the past) will be Starly.

[sleek bane]

Every kanto pokemon can be shiny now.

[final tulip]

do we know staraptor's legacy move yet or no

not that it really needs better moves

[dusty oracle]

Not as yet;

They couldn't quite work out what the move was.

[lucid frigate]

Well, it would be a new shiny at least

[dusty oracle]

We think they're a translator, so given a lot of flying moves have similar wind-themed roots, fairly understandable.

I suspect it'll be Sky Attack.

Wait, hang on, no.

I've been through this.

[final tulip]

that's a good bait move but i don't think it will improve its performance overalll

[dusty oracle]

It doesn't learn Sky Attack.

[final tulip]

ah

[dusty oracle]

I keep forgetting that it doesn't.

[lucid frigate]

Nothings gonna make it relevant

[dusty oracle]

Fly would.

[final tulip]

maybe feather dance then

[dusty oracle]

Fly 100% would in PVE.

[lucid frigate]

In pve yea ig

[final tulip]

i mean the shadow version is fine in sinnoh cup

[lucid frigate]

But pvp no

[dusty oracle]

We've had enough PVP Commdays this year.

[final tulip]

open gl it just gets outclassed by every single other flying

[dusty oracle]

Gib me one PVE commday this year. XD

[lucid frigate]

Main issue is its bulk

[final tulip]

it's best a closer imo

[dusty oracle]

Gust and Fly would bring it to the Apex of Flying type DPS.

[final tulip]

that would be another double legacy comm day this year

[lucid frigate]

Spheal yea lol
Hoppip ehhh not when walrein just happened
Sandshrew kind of, but not significant
Stufful bad move and bewear is mostly just spice
Geodude good move bad mon

[dusty oracle]

Yeah, but

[final tulip]

graveler is signicantly better than golem so

[dusty oracle]

NONE of them have been good for PVE

[final tulip]

no point in using that over something already decent

[dusty oracle]

At least 2 of them were PVP oriented.

[final tulip]

oh so you're telling me you haven't used your mlc shadow walrein in landorus raids

[dusty oracle]

I don't have a S!Walrein built.

[final tulip]

same here lmao

[lucid frigate]

Me neither

[dusty oracle]

Couldn't be arsed.

Doesn't synergise well with the other things I have.

[lucid frigate]

In all honesty, ive hardly been playing the game since last year lol

Mainly play pvp and the interlude season has been pretty boring without elo

[dusty oracle]

Working on my lucky and shadow dexes have been the main things keeping me going tbh.

[final tulip]

i mean now that i'm getting queue times for gbl i know that i have a good "elo" so hopefully i can carry this to next season

[lucid frigate]

Ngl i didnt miss queue times lol

Didn’t finish my sets cause most of my time was more in queues than battles

That or some seasons i would tank elo

[rough tapir]

Does lucky just mean Hundo? Or is it something completely different?

[lucid frigate]

Lucky is different, and a pokemon can become lucky after trading which halves the cost of stardust to power them up

[rough tapir]

Is there like a percentage chance?

[rough tapir]

During a trade I mean

[lucid frigate]

5% iirc?

If the trade includes a pokemon from july or august 2016 then both mons will be guaranteed lucky

[rough tapir]

Why

Why those certain months from that year?

[lucid frigate]

Because… they chose them?

[rough tapir]

😂😂😂there’s no reason?

[lucid frigate]

Probably to encourage older players to trade when they return to the game

Thats my guess

[dusty oracle]

It depends on the age of the two mons.

[rough tapir]

You’re probably right. So basically the rarest type a Pokémon you can have in Pokémon go is a shiny, hundo, and lucky at the same time?

[dusty oracle]

There was a SilphRoad study on it.

Bit old now.

https://thesilphroad.com/science/chance-of-lucky-trade/

[rough tapir]

Thank you

[crisp relic]

DittoTookMankey has given 1 'General Rep' to TheXReturns.

[sleek bane]

Can make it even more rare if you get it on one of those shiny-locked mons like meltan etc.

[rough tapir]

I wish I got a meltan. I didn’t make my acc early enough for that

[torn arrow]

you can get meltan now

[rough tapir]

How

[torn arrow]

but not shiny

do you have the pokemon home app installed on your pogo device

[rough tapir]

Not on my phone but I probably could

[torn arrow]

ye download it

[rough tapir]

Alright hold on

Wait so why cant you get shiny anymore? I’m just too late?

[sleek bane]

Got to wait for them to open up shiny meltan again. He is only shiny during some events

[dusty oracle]

They shinylock it when not in certain events.

[sleek bane]

Tbf he dont look that cool in shiny anyways.

[dusty oracle]

Bronzenut is cute.

[lucid frigate]

Not exactly, a lucky pokemon has an minimum iv floor of 12/12/12 which are the highest odds of getting a hundo

So its much rarer to get a random shundo in the wild than a shlundo

You have a chance to become lucky friends with a best friend on occasion which guarantees a lucky trade as well

[final tulip]

rarest is probably shiny shadow nundo

[sleek bane]

Shadow pokemons.. urg.. the team rocket battles are so darn dull to do

[rough tapir]

What’s a nundo

😂😂

[sleek bane]

0,0,0 on stats

[rough tapir]

Is that really something to be excited about tho😂😂

[final tulip]

yes because it is rare

[sleek bane]

People collect all sort of things so. Why not

[final tulip]

i currently have 4 weirdly enough

[sleek bane]

Nice!

[rough tapir]

How long have you been playing

[final tulip]

actually i have 5 i forgot about one

i got back into it about february 2020

[oblique ridge]

Understatement of the century

I had a shadow nundo that i purified for no reason

[rough tapir]

Yeah pretty much 😂especially for shiny hunters in my opinion

[oblique ridge]

Ie me

Sigh... no more ez rare pokemon transferring to mainline games!

[halcyon frost]

shiny meowth & geodude 😭😭

[rough tapir]

So I signed into an old account of mine and traded with it

I have a few more starters too but I didn’t even know I was playing in 2016 lol

[final tulip]

anything from 2016 is guaranteed to be lucky for the first 10 trades

[glad bay]

I’ll have to see if I can figure out my old login then

[ashen gull]

I'm considering go fest but it's winter and I'd prefer shiny shaymin ofc

[near cape]

any idea if pokemon go fest have shiny shaymin or its normal?

[charred rapids]

Normal

[near cape]

ah i see thanks

[crisp dove]

Can we actually have Shiny starter

[fossil basin]

So ive heard no

[glad bay]

Is PoGo downloadable on an iPad?

[fossil basin]

you can yes

ive seen a person at geodude comday playing with an ipad XD

[tropic reef]

you can choose as your starter 😮

[crisp dove]

I lured a pikachu afterwards so whatever lol

[tropic reef]

lol

[crisp dove]

BrandonTan: am i a joke to you

I don’t know but that probably didn’t hit hard

Ehhh

Megas in gbl doesn’t sound that great, i think its fine if its just a special cup in master league or something

[oblique ridge]

oh no

everyones about to see mega charizards, blastoise, and venusaurs

[tropic reef]

hopefully not

[oblique ridge]

mmm

but they gave that quest line for them, and i have like

5 charizards, one for UL one for GL and maybe another for PVE

[half kettle]

Megas would probably push the CP into ML, right?

[final tulip]

not if the level is low enough

[tropic reef]

just imagine

level 1 mega venusaur in little league

little jungle*

make that around level 5

[lucid frigate]

More like mega gyarados

[tropic reef]

level 5 mega gyarados in little jungle 💀 💀 💀

that would be insane

[oblique ridge]

[charred rapids]

More like mega altaria

[lucid frigate]

Free registeel food

[charred rapids]

Hmmm at least it’s not incense

[faint ferry]

super incubators are pretty good

[fossil basin]

ooo

[tidal temple]

3 prem incubators? Interesting replacement.

[final tulip]

well it's only going to go downhill from here

i'd say enjoy it while it lasts but it's not going to last long

[rotund copper]

Honestly, I’ll take 3 super incubators over a remote raid pass

Better value

[glad bay]

What time does the weekly progress reset?

[fossil basin]

i think sometime on Monday local time

I bought the super incubator pack. Welp i can hatch the 12km eggs quicker now

[glad bay]

😆 I know Monday. I was hoping someone knew the time lol.

Only a few km away from 50k for the week.

[charred rapids]

It’s like 9am

[final tulip]

6 am

[charred rapids]

Ah well there we go

[final tulip]

according to pokeminers at least

[charred rapids]

I ain’t ever awake before 6 to see

[glad bay]

Dang. 9am I could make it happen. Usually exercising by 6:30.

[charred rapids]

It’s 9am yeah, had a quick look around.

[final tulip]

oh i had it mixed up, the weekly box enters the shop at 6 am

[glad bay]

😮‍💨 thanks @charred rapids

wonder how bad master league gonna go that day

[final tulip]

well

mega gyarados meta

[oblique ridge]

Bruh lol

[oblique ridge]

Me: bruhhh i already have a decent sunkern. Wait what if its shiny or 4*
Pogo: here you go!

[glad bay]

Nice!

I have a research for 5 great curveballs in a row and I keep losing right at the final throw

[oblique ridge]

Thabks! Honestly the easiest way to do it is to do them at pokemon with large rings

[glad bay]

Yeah I don’t get many, but if I were more patient it’d probably be easier.

[oblique ridge]

You only have a bit more time til the special alola quests

[tropic reef]

Legendaries + alolan exeggcutor if you choose poni are your best bet

[fossil basin]

i have a hundo sukern should i just well best buddy it after my shiny milotic

or my hundo serperior (i just evolved from snivy from last years december comday)

[tropic reef]

No sunfloras completely useless

[tropic reef]

Yes

[fossil basin]

so my hundo serperior? okay

[ivory halo]

hehe, Mega latios go KYUUNNN.

[final tulip]

it loses to mega gyarados unfortunately

[ivory halo]

That is where zekrom comes in.

[charred rapids]

I don’t think you understand how good mega gyarados is

The only chance ya really have with it is fairy types, only megas that beat it are mega venu and mega altaria

[fossil basin]

So my hundo karp is op or not op

I do intend to evo later

[charred rapids]

Mega gary for this cup is pretty broken yeah, it sweeps a lot of mons even ones you’d think might have a chance, also mega gary raiding is beautiful but I think it’s full potential would be at its maximum level

[fossil basin]

i may not have enough gyarados mega energy

Just 20 more crying

[charred rapids]

Welp there will be tasks or something later that will reward it I’m sure

There has been just recently actually.

[fossil basin]

yeah i jave gotten a few from that water festival event

[fossil basin]

what cap do you want

[twilit sapphire]

im between the ula ula and the mele mele

my character for some reason is always wearing purple

[unique hazel]

i like the yellow one more, but i want the incubator rewards ;-;

Pog

Oh shit, here we go again

[dire scaffold]

Shiny possible?

[final tulip]

and yes every unova starter had a community day

every kanto pokemon is shiny unlocked

[dire scaffold]

Cool

Also rip, makes my shiny snivy I got two days ago a little less cool.

[stark narwhal]

How convenient right after the price increase smh

[glad bay]

I had never heard of this mon til now

[final tulip]

nihilego is going to be interesting

[half kettle]

Have any other UB’s been introduced before?

[final tulip]

no

[glad rover]

Nihilego’s the first UB and basically one of the most important ones

[stark narwhal]

Shout out Gen 7

[stark narwhal]

I just need a Kings Rock for my shiny Slowpoke smh

[livid moss]

I think I got that

But I left my switch at home

[dusty oracle]

Sir, this is a PoGo.

[final tulip]

classic niantic

[stark narwhal]

????

[oblique ridge]

Ehhh kinda

[torn arrow]

crazy smusum lady villan literally fuses with a nihilego so yes, nihilego is one of the most important ubs

[oblique ridge]

Also im gonna try to host a raid in about an hour and thirty, so if anyone wants to join, @ me i need to complete the alola quests

[oblique ridge]

Mmm for me whenever j think of ubs i think of buzzwolr

[torn arrow]

yes, buzzwole stronk but who cares

[oblique ridge]

Stronk but slow

[torn arrow]

swole bug isn't pivotal to the plot

[oblique ridge]

Guzzlord

Guzzlord and buzzwole combined are me

Guzzwole or buzzlord

[oblique ridge]

Me thinking todays wednesday

Oh i still have one hatching in a few minutes

[dusty oracle]

Almost all of the UBs are potentially cracked in PVE.

(Assuming good movesets)

Celesteela, Stakataka and Guzzlord have no hope;

But amongst the rest, the next worst potential is arguably Buzzwole, which is still basically a Conkeldurr, and is viable for fighting.

Xurkitree would take some heftily bad moveset to not be excellent.

[final tulip]

celesteela has the stats for ultra league no?

if it gets good moves it should be good there right

[dusty oracle]

Theoretically.

It's a bit interesting where moveset is concerned.

Air Slash, Smack Down, Tackle, Zen Headbutt are the only potential Fast Moves.

[fossil basin]

"still waiting for kecleon" some handles say. but UB are interesting

[oblique ridge]

[mint echo]

[toxic onyx]

hello people

[glad rover]

Looking at the tasks for the branching research I think I’m going to go with the Ula’Ula Island one. It gives some good rewards. It doesn’t have any trade task or battle tasks and at the end of it you get 4 incense which is helpful since I’m running a bit low on them

[tidal temple]

AS wouldn't be bad, it would just be skarm 2.0

[dusty oracle]

Alola to Alola event infographics:

Current Raids:

[glacial radish]

who

[tidal temple]

Guarantee u Geodude raids r gonna be almost fully empty everywhere

[oblique ridge]

I think ill take akala

The incubatorssss

[fossil basin]

gah i really want alola raichu and the incubators

but they are separte paths

i dont reaaly want to spend money for 2 paths

[oblique ridge]

Raids lol

Also you do get the path free if you complete all island quests right? Been grinding those

[final tulip]

yes

[tropic reef]

dont think you can buy another path

[oblique ridge]

Alr, just wanted to make sure it was worth it, ty!

[crisp relic]

Pokefisher has given 1 'General Rep' to Uzbekistan.

[fossil basin]

yeah your right. ill just do the incubator path.

[tropic reef]

oh k

[final tulip]

tbh the rewards aren't even worth $5

[oblique ridge]

Mmm im doing it for the incubator atp lol

I dont need poffins, i dont really need the rocket radar, well i could do ulaula, i think akala doe

[fossil basin]

it will cost more for me. the ticket ( i dont use usd)

[mint echo]

https://tenor.com/view/same-pointing-gif-23659204

[glad bay]

Is Altaria worth raiding for?

[faint ferry]

its cheaper to just buy the incubators anyway

4 super incubators is still less than the ticket

[fossil basin]

yeah i picked up the 1 poke coin box for 3 super incubators earlier

welp idk wwhat path to chose guess ill chose the incubator path

[mint echo]

https://tenor.com/view/pikachu-good-luck-pokemon-cute-smile-gif-16052912

[faint ferry]

i went for the raichu one

just cause i havent got alolan raichu yet

[mint echo]

https://tenor.com/view/love-gif-24777608

[fossil basin]

yeah i wanted to do the raichu one but people said raids

but i already own a shiny alola raichu so nyeh

whats the reward for rge collection challange

[faint ferry]

if im remote raiding, its gonna be for altaria

[fossil basin]

i do need altaria for the dex

[faint ferry]

i need the mega energy

[fossil basin]

stupid 400 candy evo

whoever is spamming emotes here you go

[torn arrow]

that's what the dog doin

[charred rapids]

wut

[fossil basin]

eh?!

[rotund maple]

Homie say What now?

[tight pilot]

Wow Kyogre & Groundon in raids for GoFest … how riveting 🥱 guess i’m getting more pink whales & piss rocks

[oblique ridge]

Sooooooo mitch, i suppose youll be raiding them huh i need some of that ||scam|| luck

[charred rapids]

I need XL’s anyway, and even though it will be a comm day, I’m getting that shiny axew

[oblique ridge]

Sala cant be shiny....

[charred rapids]

Well no why would it be?

[oblique ridge]

Cuz

Green dragon

[charred rapids]

Druddigon takes that position

[oblique ridge]

You see axew there so why not sala

[oblique ridge]

[charred rapids]

Because they’ll release shiny sala when they drop the mega

Just like majority of the shiny evolutions

[tight pilot]

^ yeah shiny evos typically locked in raids & you know i’ll be raiding anyway with dad for those sweet XL’s, otherwise got 2shinys of both so any more is just icing on the cake

[glad rover]

Hisuian Voltorb and Electrode can now be transferred out of the game

[charred rapids]

I got you my boi, I’ll raid with you when my time is done invite me to anything legendary, or if you do them, Axew

And you’ll be in all my lobbies

[tight pilot]

I’ll be doing Axew too ofc , still debating on buying the ticket or just dropping the $25 on remote raids instead bc i’ll be a little busy that weekend

[oblique ridge]

Oh wait do i have you added

[charred rapids]

Meh as I told Hon the $25 is for the shiny rates and maybe some items, obviously an early mythical that will drop for everyone who didn’t buy it later anyway

[charred rapids]

Probs not

[tight pilot]

Dad’s friends list is vip exclusive like a coveted night club

[charred rapids]

It’s either me or Gilli, aussies getting those events and raids first thing

So Mitch, honestly have a good look at the contents of the ticket and think is it really worth 25, especially if you gon be busy boi you’d have to play a good portion to make it worth the money

[glad bay]

Do you have to go to GoFest to access these?

[tight pilot]

Nope raids will be avail to all!

And yeah I know saturday for sure i’ll be busy with a Family reunion all day and Sunday already looks bummy so idk… i do want Tropius, Torkoal and those unowns tho & ofc the dumb costume pika bc I have a problem when it comes to costume pokes

[charred rapids]

Tropius is pretty decent for great league, I suppose regionals for $25 are cheaper than actually travelling, that’s up to you Mitchy boi

[charred rapids]

My codes are 5820 9502 9424 and 4785 2086 0148 add me anytime I know this ain’t code channel but I usually never share em

[glad rover]

Yeah I’m still unsure about the ticket because I would like to get those two regionals

[sleek bane]

Whale-candy 😮 wooooooh

[cerulean imp]

Is there no free(1 coin) remote raid pass in the store this week?

[lament girder]

Nope they phased it out

[cerulean imp]

Rip

[rotund copper]

It’s 3 super incubators instead

[vivid kernel]

My path

[rotund copper]

Crap

I was so close to getting the free research, I just needed to win a raid

[final tulip]

[tropic reef]

Inv me to kyos

[sleek bane]

I can get u in all my lobbies, but i cba to be awayk when you have tht day 😂

[glad bay]

Is Alola to Alola one of the required ones?

Also can shadow Pokémon flee?

[oblique ridge]

Alr!

[fossil basin]

For some reason the sticker in the sticker shop have names. Turns out its their jpn name for the mons

[oblique ridge]

@charred rapids mentaljesus and wetnoodle00?

Not judging, just confirming

[fossil basin]

Man i still need to do an altaria raid lol. Im lazy to get ffing 400 candies

[oblique ridge]

Finally got the alola to alola questline

Time to grind for counters to kyogre and groudon

[glad bay]

Two raids should do it, unless time is a factor in how much you get.

Oh wait. I’m thinking the mega energy.

[fossil basin]

nah i just want altaria XD

[glad bay]

Ignore me

[fossil basin]

but thanks anyway

[glad bay]

Lol yeah. Was trying to help 😂

[faint ferry]

no pikipek raid for me to get 70 candy to complete the challenge

[fossil basin]

i hate that you need at least 125 pikipek candy

i need 13 more 😢

[faint ferry]

i already evolved a toucanon ages ago back when they were first introduced

stupid thing feels like punishment

[fossil basin]

stupid pikipeks breaking out when i use pinap berries

[fossil basin]

oh no

well seems the collection reward is a doggo

[faint ferry]

shoulda been ultra necrozma or marshadow smh

[faint ferry]

i want more metagross candy

Wanna raise this sweet thing up

[oblique ridge]

Ping?

[outer tree]

Wow very nice mon there.

[fossil basin]

Wow thank you niantic (i cant get it cause im maxed out on remote raid passes)

[vivid kernel]

It’s now a marowak

[glad bay]

Any of these decent for PVP?

[lucid frigate]

First 2 aren’t even close to pvp ivs, the third is decently ranked for great league at rank 286

[glad bay]

Interesting. Thanks @lucid frigate

mewtwo with both legacy moves is so hype

[glad bay]

Yee

Always wanted Mewtwo

[rotund copper]

So pretty much everyone gets xl Candy now

[tight pilot]

Yeah basically since you can hit level 31 in like an hour of playtime🤣🤣

[glad bay]

Hey now.. 👀

[tight pilot]

LOL if you’re in the middle of longer maybe a little bit longer but ya know what I mean

Moo2 with legacy moves is de ent but really just here for those XL’s

[glad bay]

For sure. I’m happy about the XL change but I’m also only at 32.

[oblique ridge]

june 28 looks sus

[oblique ridge]

mitch, i'll need more of your raid luck now

[tropic reef]

Imma have to stock up on those moo2s

[rotund copper]

Oh, nosepass spotlight hour on my birthday

I’ve been wanting shiny nosepass for a while, maybe I’ll get lucky

[odd glade]

LF> Shiny Genesect to return in the season of Go

It's almost been two years

[stark narwhal]

I think I’m not going to fool with Go Fest this year but I got this today so woo

[torn arrow]

foongus spotlight hour?

[twilit sapphire]

Bea clothes

i really want them, hope they aren't pvp only but surely they will

[torn arrow]

yoo number 302 for go fest let's go

yeah they probably will be pvp locked

wait why mega blastoise

we legit just had it

first time in a long time that I've been confused about no zard

[final tulip]

unfortunately they are

[twilit sapphire]

[final tulip]

i actually think i can get to legend this season because i’ve been facing previous season legends quite often in gbl

and the pose is actually good

[twilit sapphire]

oh i haven't seen the pose yet

lemme see

oh it is nice

i still need to get into pvp for the level requirements later but wonder how hard it is to understand how it works

[final tulip]

do you have a walrein built

[twilit sapphire]

i have nothing i've done 0 battles

i mean, i do have walreins and spheals from the commday

[rotund copper]

i was excited for the bea clothing... until I realized guys just get a dumb headband

like I want the other headband, not just some dumb orange and black sweatband >:(

[twilit sapphire]

[lucid frigate]

Pvp really isn’t as bad as most people think imo, well at least in terms of learning it

In terms of mechanics and actually functioning on the other hand…

[faint ferry]

why is mega blastoise returning instead of something different from last week

smh

[half kettle]

I switched my avatar from male to female because I was tired of getting the short end of the stick with the male style items

[final tulip]

you mean the invisible move sneaks and the cmp tie losses that you actually should have won

[final tulip]

more than likely they just forgot

[half kettle]

Sounds like the kinda dumb shit they would pull

[normal crystal]

I need a new pogo friend

[oblique ridge]

Might as well lol

Yeah i shoild start grinding pvp

[analog steeple]

Yo I want this pose

Time to run BBML

[gilded rune]

#pogo_friend_codes x)

[oblique ridge]

Chose akala for the alola to alola quest, lets see if i make it through it

[rotund copper]

The rewards dont seem that great for the Ula Ula path, but I want vulpix and the red oricorio hat, soooo

[faint ferry]

you can get vulpix from 7km eggs...

[rotund copper]

Eh, it’s more about the hat

It was either Red or Blue, and I didn’t need more Exeggutor, already got 3 shiny A-Exeggutor from one day

[fossil basin]

im just stuck on the last quest for the path "walk 7km" XD

[charred rapids]

The rewards are just lacklustre in general

[fossil basin]

but ill figure it out XD

[sleek bane]

One foot in front of the other swapping from left to right foot and back x number of times and you get the 7km done. Voila!

[charred rapids]

Or shake a sock

[fossil basin]

my hand hurted after doing that (basically move my phone)

[sleek bane]

Never got any progress on walking with shaking my phone or so. Guess i do it wrong

[twilit sapphire]

[normal crystal]

[glad bay]

Have you guys seen this talk of the May 30th walkout?

[torn arrow]

nope, what's happening

[glad bay]

People are pissed at Niantic and supposedly planning a “no one play” day for the 30th.

[sleek bane]

What are people pissd at now? Besides the 50 coin increase on 3 pack remote- raidpasses.

[charred rapids]

Sure that sucks and all but I don’t think that would be quite enough for a no one play day, this feels familiar

[oblique ridge]

Lmao

[oblique ridge]

Niantic employees? Wow

Mmm which is the best? Want to ckmplete the collection medap

[charred rapids]

Just evolve any, you get a better one eventually and transfer this

[sullen peak]

How rare are shinies in pogo?

[charred rapids]

Depends on the Pokémon, there’s a variety of shiny rates from standard odds of 1/450 or 1/500 ish to boosted 1/64, to community days being 1/25, there’s a few that are in between

Legendary raids are 1/20 when the shiny has been released, never usually the first wave.

[rotund copper]

Raid Days are usually 1/10 (?)

[charred rapids]

Yes

So yeah depends on the Pokémon, depends on the event, depends whether it’s from raids or from the wild but you sort of get the gist

[sullen peak]

Oh ok. I'm new to pokemon go so I don't know anything about it 😅

[oblique ridge]

Ty

[crisp relic]

Pokefisher has given 1 'General Rep' to MetalJesus |WetNoodle|.

[oblique ridge]

Its cuz i have tons of pve mons, just not that many pvp mons

[sullen peak]

Adorable 😂

Do I leave him like he is or do I purifie him?

[charred rapids]

Shadows are better than regulars regardless of IV’s but I wouldn’t exactly pump any resources into a shit shadow no matter what

[outer tree]

This is one is worth investing in right? @charred rapids

[final tulip]

i would invest in that one

[outer tree]

Nice I just need to get rid of frustration now.

[charred rapids]

Yeah definitely, 91, with attack, that’s an amazing shadow, and Hari is a pretty decent fallback for pve too, not super amazing but just worthy enough to invest in

[slow warren]

So I got this guy I wanna build for pvp, but no comm day moves on him unfortunately

Is powder snow worth elite fast tming over frost breath?

[final tulip]

yes

[slow warren]

👍

seems like I finally got a decent team for GL now then
S Walrein, S Swampert, Altaria

[sullen peak]

I'm only just now starting pokemon go. Calm down 😂

[charred rapids]

Calm down? Gave you an answer lol but sure

Shadows = good, but don’t invest in a bad one, was that easier?

[valid sentinel]

@loud flint opening gift on Leon87, gonna go ultra

@thick gate are you Mafus101 in game? Wanna go best with Leon87? I have an egg on...

[thick gate]

@valid sentinel I am. Mind if we wait for gofest? Also I'm in Australia so timezones make coordinating trickier

[valid sentinel]

I don't mind, just noticed we are 2 days from best with blackwidow as well, mark those 2 accounts (my alts) and we'll coordinate when it suits you, I don't really mind the alts.

[thick gate]

If you're happy to egg as soon as you open the app on gofest day then I'd love to be able to open on start of gofest for me on Saturday. It's currently 6.50pm in my timezone

[valid sentinel]

9.50 am here, you open the last gift when it suits you and ping me and I'll pop the egg, friendship takes forever to trigger, be fine. 👍

@thick gate do you have Mysticspy as well? Another alt of mine... 😳

[thick gate]

Yea I think so

Nope, I swear I used to but maybe I sniped you a while back and you removed me. Hard to know you owned the accounts 😅

I assume black widow is also yours @valid sentinel

[valid sentinel]

ColMustang is main, Leon, blackwidow and mystticspy alts

[thick gate]

Whitewidow201?

@valid sentinel ^

[valid sentinel]

Mine... XD

[thick gate]

This you?

[valid sentinel]

@thick gate hahaha yes

[torn arrow]

are any of the alolans (exeggutor, marowak, raichu) okay in pvp/raids?

also which of the tapus are good in pvp/raids

[torn arrow]

yeah well ig they have

[twilit sapphire]

Ive seen people using marowak the most

The Alolan one

[tight pilot]

Surfin rat also has some pvp use but there is better elec types that can also learn grass knot

[charred rapids]

And only tapu fini has play, it’s like an azumarill with a different moveset

[final tulip]

alolan raichu has play in some limited cups, not so much the open formats

bulu has some use in pve as a grass type attacker as well as fini in pvp

[tight pilot]

True, too much dark/ground running around open GL for a-chu now days

[versed egret]

Level 20 pvp kicks my butt, but I did get the event pikachu so I'm happy

[lucid frigate]

This season was the 2nd time they made pikachu libre really easy to get

[lucid frigate]

Regular a-wak doesn’t have much play in open gl anymore but it does have play in some cups. Shadow a-wak has much more play in open gl

[tidal temple]

So I was complaining about not having a good shadow Quilava for whenever hisui Typhlosion eventually drops

Then I find this

[tidal temple]

Marowak and it's shadow are very nice in GL

Shadow is good in open and special cups, normal is better in special cups

A-Exegg is a very spicy mon if you have it with legacy

And A-Raichu is good in GL, mainly special formats but occasionally sees normal format usage

You could build A-Raichu for UL technically, but it's a MASSIVE investment.

[glad bay]

Got lucky with this fella

[outer tree]

Nice I Caught one too a few months back.

[vivid kernel]

Is this good?

[final tulip]

don’t play master league with that team

[vivid kernel]

Why

[final tulip]

nothing is level 50

[vivid kernel]

Doesn’t mean I’ll instantly lose

[rotund copper]

…somethings not right here

[half kettle]

[oblique ridge]

[glad bay]

You had some lucky eggs

[final tulip]

it basically does

everyone is going to be using level 50 pokemon which outbulk and outdamage your team

[slow warren]

is premier capped at level 40?

[sleek quarry]

Premier is no legendary/mythical. Classic is level 40

[slow warren]

ahhh gotcha

Thats why I was gettin my ass handed in ML

[vivid kernel]

I doubt it

[final tulip]

i mean you can try it out yourself and see your w/l ratio

[paper reef]

I haven’t been playing as much anymore. But how cute is my outfit 1-10? It’s hella friggin cute!

I went for early 2,000’s girl. All my outfits in my games are based around the 2k’s.

[odd glade]

Anything good from Go battle day besides dust and Gladion top?

[odd glade]

I will give it 7.5 out of 10

[glad bay]

What moves should Alolan marowak know right now?

Or are worth knowing I guess

[outer tree]

I was going to ask anyone is Luxray worth powering up to level 35? I was going to use it for the kyogre raid coming up I do have a level 35 mega venasaur ready and a few more mons

[slow warren]

Fire spin/hex shadow bone, boneclub for bait or fire blast for damage

[tropic reef]

I only want one pass in life😏

[charred rapids]

[rough tapir]

Umbreon or Sylveon?

[regal yoke]

When the new season starts on June 1 are there going to be different shadow Pokémon?

[regal yoke]

I would say unless you really feel you need an umbreon for UL, go with Sylveon. It can be good in ML and also in raids/PvE

[final tulip]

no

there will be new shadows when there is another frustration event

[regal yoke]

Ah ok thanks

[tidal temple]

Neat

[half kettle]

[final tulip]

alolan persian doesn’t get any good moves unfortunately

[rotund reef]

Pick a few outta #pogo_friend_codes you’ll probably get at least one quickly

[rotund reef]

Thinking about building it for Kanto Cup tho tbh

[slow warren]

Bruh wtf is this

[fossil basin]

yeah I would rather the raid pass

Its the weekly box thing

[slow warren]

What a scam, what happened to the 3 super incubators?

[lucid frigate]

Tbh the three super incubators was just niantic trying to make a good first impression after taking out the passes

[final tulip]

we all saw this coming tbh

I’m pretty pumped for a lot of the upcoming releases

Are XL candies only used for powering up?

[dusty oracle]

Yep.

Post 40 Level Ups is their only use.

[glad bay]

Gotcha, thanks @dusty oracle

[crisp relic]

Gorganaath has given 1 'General Rep' to TheXReturns.

So the grind is nicer to you in the long run. I’m happy with Niantic with this move.

[glad bay]

Yeah I was just hoping to make some evolutions 😅

[torn arrow]

just don't purify

[tidal temple]

Kyogre out in NZ

[tight pilot]

Shiny tirtouga and archen release tho 👀👀

[tame stone]

How do you get xl candy

And what does it do

[charred rapids]

Allows level up of mons past 40

[outer tree]

I think it’s random not sure but it lets you power up mons past level 40

[tame stone]

How do you get it

[charred rapids]

Yeah random, but at the moment trading guarantees 1 XL for the Pokémon you trade, weather boosted mons have a higher chance to give XL’s too

[outer tree]

Oh ok thanks for the info. @charred rapids

[crisp relic]

Hydogens has given 1 'General Rep' to MetalJesus |WetNoodle|.

[charred rapids]

Or you can exchange 100 normal candy for 1 XL, mythical Pokémon and legendary guarantee XL’s when you catch them too so if you have a meltan box I’d be opening them up 👀

[tame stone]

Bruh I’m level 38 and nave never gotten one

What am I missing

And ofc I open an egg and get some

[final tulip]

the new feature just rolled out a few hours ago

[tame stone]

I swear I’ve seen it before though

[final tulip]

only for people level 40+

[tame stone]

Oh alr ty

[lucid frigate]

So the interlude season is finally finished and… nothing has been accomplished

[final tulip]

except the complete removal of level 40 master league

[fossil basin]

then how did i get xl candy when i am lvl 35. event purposes?

maybe i did catch weather boosted mons and well i got xl candy

[glad bay]

31 and up now. It’s random, but some mons have higher chances or are guaranteed.

I got quite a few earlier right after the update.

[fossil basin]

okay cool i was so confused when i got some when i know i has to be lvl 40

[glad bay]

Yeah it’s changed now. I’m 32 and haven’t gotten quite a few xls already.

[twilit sapphire]

Pwease don't pwomote other sewvws uwu

[glad bay]

Was that at me?

[rotund copper]

Probably directed at someone else, who’s message was deleted.

[glad bay]

Touché. Was just wondering what I might have accidentally done 😅

[tight pilot]

Yeah it wasnt you Gorg, seen the message earlier this morning just someone asking people to dm them to join their PoGo server basically

[glad bay]

Just remember to smash that like and subscribe!

[tight pilot]

& heres a graph showing that 95% of my viewers arent subscribed

[rotund copper]

And the other 5% are here against their will

[glad bay]

Whoever beat you out in 8 mins deserves to be hit, hate people that camp gyms like that

this one mystic guy just hogs all the gyms and it's so annoying

and whenever I knock them out they have their level 40 hundo (idk if that's true) best buddy blissey in there within ten minutes

[fossil basin]

my neighbour hood gyms are sh*t

[torn arrow]

yes I was outside at 1am

literally a person with 6 alts i repeat 6 ALTS to nab a gym. and they just spam berries

[torn arrow]

6 alts just isn't needed

like just have two or three

I can clear a full gym in like 5 mins on my own

[fossil basin]

no they shove their 6 alts mons in a gym

[torn arrow]

idk why they feel the need to have 6

[fossil basin]

or the person

[torn arrow]

like you're actively hurting people in your own team

that's very silly

also these are my first two kyogres

[fossil basin]

i havent took the time yet to get a bloo whale

[torn arrow]

first two phrogs

really want a shiny phrog and I'd use it even if it's 10/10/10

[regal yoke]

Does anyone know at what time the field research encounter will change to Klink? I have it ready to go just want to wait til it changes to encounter. I think it’s after 10 am local time right?

[final tulip]

1 pm pdt

so in about 3 hours

[regal yoke]

If I complete the final task, but don’t start the encounter til after that time, will it still be grimer? I want klink but also want to finish some field research lol

[faint ferry]

think so, yeah...

[regal yoke]

Dang ok I’ll wait then to be safe thanks

[tropic reef]

I want a pink whale

But hunting pink whale is hard now 😔

[rotund copper]

Would it be a better idea to wait till go fest to try for a pink whale cuz of the boosted shiny rates?

Or will the whale still be 1/20

[tropic reef]

Im probs not gonna be buying the ticket

Anyways my first 2 blue whales

Lmaoo

[rotund copper]

I thought you sent the same image twice until I realized one is 200kg heavier

[tropic reef]

Ye lol

[rotund copper]

You’d probably be more likely to get a shiny kyogre than 2 identical ones back to back

[tropic reef]

Damn 😔

I just want my favorite pokemon as a shiny 😭

[dusty oracle]

You are, actually.

At least

The probability of getting two identical whales back to back in a given two raids is less than the probability of getting a shiny in those two raids.

The long-run probability of getting both is 100% though.

[tropic reef]

So will the shiny odds increase during go fest?

[dusty oracle]

Of Kyogre?

Probably not.

It's plausible, but not probable.

[tropic reef]

Damn

[dusty oracle]

Normally raid legendary shiny odds aren't boosted over GoFest.

[rotund copper]

I forget, do they usually boost the others to 1/10? Like Axew, Pikachu, etc

[dusty oracle]

Nah.

[rotund copper]

Damn

[dusty oracle]

They'll be at whatever odds they are in the wild.

So probably Perma for Ticketholders,

[rotund copper]

Alright, thanks ||Pyra main?||

[dusty oracle]

Base for non-Ticketholders.

[rotund copper]

I’m hoping for shiny Axew

[dusty oracle]

Only in my spare time.

[rotund copper]

[dusty oracle]

It'll probably get a Commday in 2023 if you can't get it this time around.

[rotund copper]

I have the patience of a small child, so hopefully I get it this weekend

[dusty oracle]

Have you got the ticket?

[rotund copper]

Yup

[dusty oracle]

Run Incense on both days, keep moving, even if you're going back and forth then.

[rotund copper]

Oh definitely, I’m gonna try my hardest

[dusty oracle]

Like I say, should be Perma

It's historically been Perma.

[rotund copper]

[final tulip]

i hope this is just a visual glitch

[unique hazel]

Finally got my first two sandiles

[final tulip]

nvm we’re all good

[final tulip]

damn i just played against hsh on stream and lost

[oblique ridge]

Is this good for master by any chance?

I have like 130 candy and can power it up to 2630 cp

[final tulip]

two reasons why it isn’t

1. you probably don’t have blast burn
2. charizard is not good in master league

[twilit sapphire]

ehe funny googles

[oblique ridge]

Rip alr, is there anything else its good for then?

[rotund copper]

I don’t recognize Rhi from SM/USUM, are they new?

[rotund copper]

I think it’s good in ultra league with dragon breath, blast burn, and dragon claw, but don’t quote me on that.

[final tulip]

no not really

[dusty oracle]

I mean, you can get it to be functional as a Fire Mega.

It'll be stunted due to no BBurn, but functional.

[oblique ridge]

If i get blast burn, then where can i use it?

[charred rapids]

Raids

[oblique ridge]

like, in pvp

[dusty oracle]

Raids

It's the wrong IVs for Ultra.

[slow warren]

Anyone know how much stardust you get for this PVP season for being rank 20? Is it worth using a star piece?

[final tulip]

you get 135k i think with a starpiece

so it's definitely worth it

[slow warren]

oh damn crazy amount, sounds g thank you!

[ashen oxide]

Anyone feel like the rates for revives after raids are weird? I’ve done 20 kyogre raids today (still no shiny) and I’ve gone from 50 ish hyper potions to over 250 and gone from 100 revives to zero

[outer tree]

I was going to ask when the mewtwo raid gets here should I focus on the Psystrike or shadow ball? Or just both?

[glad bay]

Does it have to be one or the other?

[outer tree]

No I could raid both I guess what I was asking which move was better to get I heard psystrike is really good

[glad bay]

I honestly had no idea lol, only reason I asked.

I have heard psystrike is great

[outer tree]

Oh ok we both don’t know then lol but I’m pretty sure both are good

[tight pilot]

Both are good, if you dont already have ghosts that outrank it shadowball on M2 is very useful, psystrike is hands down best psychic attack in the game currently and has been for a long time / likely will be for a long while

But theres a lot more legendaries that are weak to ghost rather than psychic IMO (with alot of legendaries having the psychic typing or atleast half)

[outer tree]

Thanks for the info well I’ll be definitely raiding both of them. @tight pilot

[crisp relic]

Hydogens has given 1 'General Rep' to MellowMitch / IGN - Taylor.

[faint ferry]

kyogre isnt particularly strong as it is rn, right?

without origin pulse

[final tulip]

it’s very strong

[fair idol]

Umm

The weird thing I just happened

[regal yoke]

I mean will it be better with Origin pulse? Ya of course, but it’s still really good now

[gloomy shore]

Rare spawn! And DeX♡

He ate three of my Grazz berries because I didn't want him to run

[regal yoke]

Are there ever events where you can get the legacy starter moves on all final evo starters that have them when you evolve? I feel like there has been but am not sure.. I want to know if I should hold on to any first/second form starters that are good or I might want to mega and not evolve them if an event like that comes up

[covert idol]

i mean elite tms exist

[regal yoke]

And are rare and valuable, I don’t want to use them if I don’t have to you know

And that doesn’t answer my question in any way lol

[dusty oracle]

Yes, about once a year.

[regal yoke]

Cool thanks

[half kettle]

We don’t do PoGo trading on this server

[minor citrus]

oh

[half kettle]

No worries

[glad bay]

Is this guy worth trading to be lucky?

[regal yoke]

If you mean an actual lucky trade, no save that for something good and shiny. Yes if you just mean trading regular and hoping it goes lucky. It’d say it’s always better to trade the Pokémon that get free evos afterwards, its a huge save of candy. Unless it was a hundo or like a 98, I would trade it. Same with the gastly line

Ohhh you are talking about the 2016 lucky Pokémon thing right? Just noticed. I’m not entirely sure how that works but my thought is that would be it would be a good idea ya

[faint ferry]

i think its something like +5% to the chance of it becoming lucky for each years difference between the traded mons

[dusty oracle]

Essentially.

But the first 10 trades an account does with July 2016 mons are guaranteed to go lucky.

[glad bay]

This is why I was thinking that

I only have a few worthwhile ones to make lucky so I guess I should just do it.

Only have 10 exactly apparently

[dusty oracle]

Check for legacy moves.

[glad bay]

I will see

I’m guessing you have to look up what the legacy moves are? Or does the app indicate it?

[twilit sapphire]

yeah you have to look it up

you can also do uh

@ special all-together in the search bar

[regal yoke]

If you mean on pokegenie, it seems like “special moves” like legacy and shadow moves are a slightly different color when viewing in the app. So you can use that but prolly easier to look up like Aimee said

[twilit sapphire]

and it should show

[regal yoke]

Only some Pokémon can have legacy moves so it’s not like you have to check all

[twilit sapphire]

well fuck ty discord for tagging something

sorry random dude called special

[dusty oracle]

Starmie and Kingler had different moves on launch.

Iirc.

[glad bay]

Lol

[final tulip]

quick attack and mud shot iirc
