>Biggest nonlegendary normal-type and second-biggest nonlegendary ground-type >Movepool is shit, even if it gets all of Ursaring's current Go moves Really hope it get's Mud Slap or something. If its normal-type moves are strong enough, it could make normal-type mega parties viable in some raids.
Oh wait, I guess it's second-biggest normal-type, but no one uses Slaking outside gym defense anyway.
Lucas James
When was the last legendary? How many years have been and gone?
Anthony Hill
Apparently it was December 2019; the Kanto birds plus Kyogre and Groudon were in it. Seems like they always planned on making this the case, regardless of what people say about it and Covid.
Evan Kelly
it's funny that the box went from legendaries to pvp pokemon to literal trash spawn
Carson James
Honestly no clue why they felt little Timmy getting a shitrolled level 15 Zapdos was cutting into their profits to begin with
Sebastian Nelson
>balls can literally bounce off of meltan if you hit it from the side at the right angle HANKEEEEE
Michael Jenkins
Not specifically a rebuttal, but December was Deino. It's not nearly as rare anymore, but it's certainly something.
If anything, the main thing was probably pvp. People need some legendaries at lvl. 15 to use them in Great League, and I imagine the fact that you only get so many and need to trade them away with new friends with the hopes that their IVs improve was not a precedent they wanted to set, especially considering spoofers and people with alts would be more likely to utilize such tactics than normal players. There are ways to fix this, but I think they'd rather keep legendaries "skill-based" encounters with stuff like GBL rewards and instead use the box for welfare rewards that anyone COULD need, like Onix and Steelix energy, because God knows pretty much no one did raids for it. Besides, it's easier to gate people with things like ETM that they can spend money on.

Wyatt Turner
Fuck I hate GBL. You honestly need to have no life (or be a god with a 70% win ratio) to reach legend rank. It takes too many games. It's a very bad ranking system.
I know I'm capable because I get beating the retards with the dumb poses from previous seasons.
Justin Wilson
it’s mostly the former. winning enough isn’t too difficult, but playing the matches takes so long
Jaxon Wright
The thing I hate most is the quick thinking. My brain is slow but it processes a lot, so I used to play stuff like competitive Pokémon since time isn't as pressing. In GBL every input counts and I can't stand it even enough to take mostly loses.
Jackson Kelly
Only way to get Pikachu Libre?
Christian Edwards
A season is like two months long. All you need to do is run meta shit and know your neutral matchups and how to play them. >time sink You're still rewarded with a decent amount of stardust, so make it part of whatever stardust grinding routine you have. It's worth hitting Ace for the chance of legendary pokemon rolls, which is going to be the tits when the Deoxys event hits.
Jeremiah Morgan
Yeah. The time per battle is fine, but to complete all sets per day is like 1.5-2 hours. Simply ridiculous!
That makes sense. Some of us are better at thinking on the fly and some are better with more time to consider options. GBL would probably be better if it worked like a standard pokemon match (especially when you consider it's a mobile game with so much lag).
I feel like getting old isn't helping much either. My reactions are going downhill.
William Moore
There was one season a while back they pretty much handed it out (as long as you played a certain amount of games).
Yeah. I'm not too bad and know what I'm doing. Problem is that it seems you're expected to play about 800-1000 matches to reach legend (unless you're insanely good). This season I'm 400 games in and already feeling burnt out.
Stardust is good, but I feel like that can also be a trap (as you spend more making good teams than you earn back). Definitely agree it's worth hitting ace every season.
I hardly ever get legendaries from GBL since they nerfed the rate this season (it went from 1/2 encounters being legendary to something like 1/5 - 1/8).
Jacob Sullivan
can someone give me a qrd on the PVP? I started playing a couple days ago and I'm at rank 13, I can't play GL anymore so does that mean I'll have to play the league with no cp limit eventually as well? cause I got no mons at level 30+ that could potentially beat any of the meta fuckers also what are the rewards at the end of the season?
Angel Lopez
Unfortunately the leagues rotate every 2 weeks (which is really fucking stupid). On 7th February master league rotates in, but there's also a special great league cup (love cup) in which there are restricted species. Great league comes back for one more week at the very end of the season.
The rewards are insane as long as you get to rank 20. You get an elite TM, a couple of premium passes and a shitload of stardust.
Jaxson Cruz
do the pokemon rewards get any better? I guess I'll try to get as many wins as I can this week

p4kmark, I sent you that gift you needed. Pop a lucky egg and be that much closer to leveling up, it's all you, baby.
you already posted this shit, and with no face as well
Blake Kelly
And you already whined about it lmao
Angel Williams
At rank 20 you get legendary encounter rewards per whafever legendary is in rotation, but ever since recently they nerfed the encounter rate for legendaries, and I’ve ever only seen one legendary per every worthless scraggy and frillish I get now. Almost all of my encounter rewards used to be legendaries. It’s really awful. I only did GBL to farm legendaries and now I can’t get shit unless I raid.
Mason Hughes
>person knocks all your pokemon out of gyms at 15 minutes to midnight
I did, that's what's bizarre. One was completely filled with full-HP mons at 11:30 when I went to bed. Who does that shit?
Austin Reed
You get legendaries from level 20. I've only just started but got 3 kyurge, 3 hetean and 3 regice.
Sebastian Rodriguez
>system matches you with named rank players while youre still a lvl. 20 shitter >a loss is a loss even if its by a fucking hair of your opponents HP >winning doesnt feel good, only more anxiety with each win because you know it won't last >only get rewarded ONE of each elite TM per season despite how absolutely essential it is to have legacy moves to be good in GBL
>which people were where and when they were there wew
Oliver Kelly
Yeah it's genuinely one of the least satifying games I've ever played. Lagging for even a fraction of a second can cost you a streak and a solid fifteen minutes of your time. If you have a bad matchup from the beginning you're fucked because switching in one of your safe mons just gives them a free switch, locking you in due to the minute-long cooldown. Even when you know you're going to win you'll have opponents who will spam shit moves like Muddy Water just out of spite to make you waste time or to hope for a moment of lag or whatever. You can build the perfect team with the perfect legacy moves, but if your phone or connection are not completely perfect you're fucked. But Hanke keeps forcing you to play it because it's the only thing in this game with half-decent rewards.

user...your rocket radar...turn it on
Christopher Baker
not him but doesnt it turn on by default user probably doesnt have a radar or retardedly turned it off
Jeremiah James
Checked Also no it doesn't turn on by default anymore. When you receive it you have to tap the "equip" button. If you don't it stays in storage and you have to manually change it, it happens
Andrew Sanders
It prompts you to turn it on by default but you can dismiss the message. Happened to me once and I was wondering why it'd been a while since my last boss fight.

Daniel Price
Did they make Arlo spawns rarer than Cliff and Sierra? Between that and needing Metang encounters I think someone ought to execute John Hanke in minecraft.
Landon Fisher
what's with all the gift planning, why is that a thing?
Xavier James
Some midgets need the xp to level up with a lucky egg even though they'll never grow an inch.
Adam Murphy
Spawns have been 70% Cliff, 20% Sierra and 10% Arlo for me, despite weather being perma windy
Easton Gomez
No one is talking about these "midgets". Meds.
Adam Rodriguez
go back to your groomer cave already
Dylan Gutierrez
I keep noticing this with certain pokemon. I hit them with a ball, and it just bounces off of them. The hell? It never went into its stupid invincible animation either. I guess some idiots forgot to code the entire model to be a hitbox. What an incompetent company.
Zachary Gutierrez
me learning how it's possible to lose to someone using jolteon if they use volt switch once and somehow have a charged attack
Sounds about right. I already have a hundo and 97% normal teddy plus two shinies from the cliff spam. It's ridiculous that they would go so far as to manipulate something like this.

>Hisuian Voltorb is coming out >You can’t evolve it The absolute country of Hanke What am I supposed to do with my gorillions of voltorb candy in the meantime? Collect even more?
Yeah it happens to pokemon that are low to the ground. Swinub for example. This is just a guess but their hitbox probably just radiates out from the center of their model, and ones that are really squat end up with half of their hitbox "underground" so if you throw a ball that should be a great throw but is in the lower half of the circle the ball is counted as having bounced off the ground instead of hitting the pokemon. Small indie company and growing franchise, you understand.
Justin Taylor
good of GBL to involve priority donations so that CMP isn't actually a thing

Heh there’s field research that just gives pokeballs but when you claim it it starts a Voltorb encounter too

They'll add it shortly. Keep in mind, hisuian Electrode was not officially revealed prior to the game's release, so they probably didn't add it to avoid "spoilers". Since they have to act like the leak didn't happen and all.
John Howard
Added and ready. I don't know why people feel like they need to spam it considering there's already the request sent button.
Ryder Martin
I don't have any remote raid passes left, but I might go out tomorrow and find another regice raid tomorrow. Added and ready, it's basically telling the host to hurry up.

For master league I normally I use Kyogre (Surf/Blizzard), Rhyherior (Smack Down/Rock Blast/Superpower), and Mewtwo (Shadow Ball/Ice Beam) but recently powered up Garchomp (Outrage/Fire Blast), should I switch someone out, or would adding it make me too vunerable to ice?
lol you posted cropped porn on a blue board with a vaguely related message hahaha!
Oliver Thompson
Swap Garchomp's Fire Blast for Sand Tomb then replace Rhyperior for it, you need a more reliable answer to Melmetal.
Parker Ortiz
The game is super laggy and pvp is nigh unplayable, the battle often freezes, anyone else having this trouble or is it just me that hanke hates?
