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.

When was the last legendary? How many years have been and gone?

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.

it's funny that the box went from legendaries to pvp pokemon to literal trash spawn

Honestly no clue why they felt little Timmy getting a shitrolled level 15 Zapdos was cutting into their profits to begin with

>balls can literally bounce off of meltan if you hit it from the side at the right angle
HANKEEEEE

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.

Gen8when, ThebiteofSuarez here, I just opened/sent you a gift to become Best Friends. It's 3pm Pacific and noon NZDT.

Tucker is a pretty funny fella.
And idiot, but political comedians are a rare bird these days.
Especially ones that don't make me immediate want to put a bullet between their eyes, metaphorically speaking.

>ESL

people made typos before ESL became a buzzword, retard-kun

Autocorrect is a blessing, and a curse for me. Sorry oh grammatically immaculate one.

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.

it’s mostly the former. winning enough isn’t too difficult, but playing the matches takes so long

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.

Only way to get Pikachu Libre?

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.

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.

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).

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?

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.

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

And you already whined about it lmao

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.

>person knocks all your pokemon out of gyms at 15 minutes to midnight

Fuck you, asshole.

Should've berry'd the gym, bitch.

Attached: guessWhatICaughtToday.png (430x560, 348.87K)

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?

You get legendaries from level 20. I've only just started but got 3 kyurge, 3 hetean and 3 regice.

>which people were where and when they were there
wew

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.

t.1400 midget

Does it go that low?

what?

why do you want to reach legend? for a "unique" pose and a pikachu with a new "hat"?

>nothing nut grunts in the blimps
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

?

user...your rocket radar...turn it on

not him but doesnt it turn on by default
user probably doesnt have a radar or retardedly turned it off

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

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.

>take over a gym full of low-stamina mons
>literally 5 minutes later it's taken over again and populated with the exact same 6 mons, now fully healed

message received, geez

what message is that?

That some autist is not allowing others on what he perceives to be his turf.

and dont you forget it faggot

gomugom11, if you're here this is Snapd0ctor. We have 1 day until best friends. Please respond with a time that works for you.

now because im gonna forget otherwise

I just opened your gift to make it go from 2 to 1 so I think we have to at least wait until tomorrow.

then same time tomorrow

Where I work, I can access 2 gyms and 3 stops.
It be like that sometimes.

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.

what's with all the gift planning, why is that a thing?

Some midgets need the xp to level up with a lucky egg even though they'll never grow an inch.

Spawns have been 70% Cliff, 20% Sierra and 10% Arlo for me, despite weather being perma windy

No one is talking about these "midgets". Meds.

go back to your groomer cave already

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.

me learning how it's possible to lose to someone using jolteon if they use volt switch once and somehow have a charged attack

Attached: betterttv-verypog.gif (112x112, 809.62K)

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.

>switch my third from machamp to giratina-altered
>suddenly obstagoon or lapras on every team after being absent for 50+ games

They’re called HUNNITS.

Do people still make money off selling accounts?

Take them.

>Hisuian Voltorb is coming out

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.

good of GBL to involve priority donations so that CMP isn't actually a thing

I hate this thing, I will not be catching a single one of them.

how did you trick em

damn bro you posted the same nonsense over and over that's so BASED the trannies are le seething!

Meds, is this "discord tranny" in the room with us right now?

am I having dejavu or has this retard been posting the tranny thing for years now?

Ever since Any Forums told him to use the word tranny as his punctuation but don't worry he's capable of individual thoughts, honest
Seeing as his moronic post got deleted yet again, I predict a 41% chance of him "going on a rampage" now

bye

Hsuian Voltorb can’t evolve?

not until the poke ball event

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

That sucks. Whats your name? Wanna dona regice with me?

what the hell does anr even mean, i just hit the friend request sent button and stay silent

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.

Added and ready. I don't know why people feel like they need to spam it considering there's already the request sent button.

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.

Can I drop a friend code in here or will your faggots mass report me?

Fuck Hisiuan Voltorb wheres my eyeliner mommy Typholosion?
I got a female in game

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?

Attached: A6E3A24C-F0F6-49CB-9AE1-3F3B26172435.png (750x1334, 837.66K)

lol you posted cropped porn on a blue board with a vaguely related message hahaha!

Swap Garchomp's Fire Blast for Sand Tomb then replace Rhyperior for it, you need a more reliable answer to Melmetal.

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?

IT'S YOUR PHOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE
nah just kidding
it's always unstable

they had to fire 80% of their QA team so hanke could buy some humans to hunt for fun in mexico

drop, people do it all the time

you'll get mass reported for being too cute :3c

why not hunt the QA team and save time?
fuck off tranny

you're the tranny. Meds.

Kinda glad they are. Any more days before I regularly have to see Pokémon first discovered in Alola is a blessing.

This but with gen 8.

Get ready for 2 days of fucking Voltorbs, one you can't even evolve

And it looks fucking hideous too.

>You can't evolve it
What? Is this the first time they've walled off an evo that wasn't cross-generational?
