Yeah, obscure Pokemon outside of the meta picks can definitely catch people off guard. I couldn't get to sleep and watched some youtubers play BL. Funniest thing I saw was people switching in Fire and Flying type Pokemon against Sudowoodo because they though it was grass hahah
Turns out to be the screen. So anybody I'm friends with on here, expect less gifts until my replacement phone comes in and I got it set up. My screen is so bad that I can't throw a pokeball anymore.
It says they'll be rewards in field research, so you should be good.
the game hammered fomo into me and i had to go hard for gira o and dialga and asking for them in lucky trades. they were known to be monsters upon release.
Interesting take. I think Woobat should have been a regular spawn/research task reward on Valentine's, it certainly fits the theme. It being a research breakthrough only gets beaten by Evee and just for the reason Evee went on for two months lol
Yeah, but I didn't play when they were released and the people I got lucky friends with didn't have a spare one of either. That 40k stardust cost will also scare people away from trading with me
Yeah, I've had a weird encounter with lag or faulty input that cost me the win. It was a Skarmory mirror match to start the game where my opponent got Sky Attack off while mine still needed one or two more air slashes to charge up. Thought it'd "lag back" so I'd get on par again but nope, he was able to fire them off earlier than I each time. Not so cool in a one battle match and rewards depending on it.
You can charge up two batch of battles. So if you start fresh without any progress, you can walk 10 km and then have two batches of battles ready. If you then don't do at least one batch, everything over those 10 km will be lost.
I think I prefer the trickle. Then I can stay up to date easier rather than having a bunch I need to catch all at once.
Melmetal is very good. Thunder shock charges moves really fast and Rock Slide/Thunderbolt or Rock Slide/Superpower gives a good amount of type coverage. Just make sure you don't face anything with fighting or ground moves though.
Lol, on the expectation that they'll increase Gibles hatch odds.
Yup just tested it. Got 5 out of 5 on my second account and got about 10k stardust, 7 rare candy and 6 charged tms lol. Have a shiny registeel on that account. Don't even have a normal one on my other. But he does some damage. My shiny zapdos tore ppl up. Bit of a glass cannon but only takes 4 fast attacks to get his drill peck up.
Lapras I don't need 5 of them, one good one was enough. Woobat is something new, something to work to.
Yeah, February seems totally overplanned. 1st weekend Research day, 3rd raid day, 4th community day and we might see something for the last weekend as well. Plus the events on the 2nd and 3rd weekend. And with those special hours, there'd also be something on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at 6 PM, unless they scrap raid hour which seems unlikely.
Yes, this is super necessary, especially since there's no scaling. You need to be able to lock a Pokemon to not power up or evolve out of the league.
It makes sense though that the higher rank you get, the harder the battles will be.
It does, of course, but I don't think the rewards system really incentivizes investing in order to stay on the winning side of the zero sum arms race of matches. The rewards difference between an atrocious and okay win rate is fairly small, it's only if you're great (and lucky) that you get the nice stuff.
Yeah. They need to fix the rewards to make it more enticing. Drop the number of wins you need for an encounter by 1 and let you do 5 battles for free first and then let you decide if you want to spend a premium pass to claim the rewards after so you know what exactly you're getting. The way it is now you can spend a premium pass and not get anything.
That latter part is clearly never happening. It's equivalent to getting your raid pass back if you fail to beat the raid boss, which would be fine but Niantic clearly has no intention to do so. And while that is fine for raids (because other players sucking can cost you the pass), I'm not a fan of your idea for PVP. You can basically half ass your battles and once you hit the jackpot, you can get the good rewards. That feels more like pay to win to me.
Lol at 40 wins for a Scraggy. You'd be close to Rank 10 with that many wins.
I mean, probably not? I have 35 wins now and am about to hit rank 7 with the next win or two. And as I understood it, once you hit rank 7, you need to have a decent win percentage to level up. If it's about total wins for rewards you can go 40/500 and probably not be rank 10 (unless that win percentage to progress past rank 7 is nonsense).
When I hit Rank 7, I went 1/5 in my next set and my rating only dropped like 20 points but still got to Rank 8. You barely need to win in the higher ranks to keep your ELO up.
Oh okay, what was/is your win percentage like? I've also read they changed the rating requirements to rank up with the changes in walking distance and amount of sets you can do. It's still pre-season, it might get more difficult to rank up in the first proper season. And when more people reach rank 7, you should get matched up against 'weaker' opponents and be able to win more easily if you lost at lot, at least in theory. You've ranked up very high for the short amount of time it's available, so it's natural there's a lot of serious players there.
Is it an 50 candy evolution?
