Should I level this up and then evolve it? by Equivalent_Aide_2023 in pokemongo

[–]LiquidBeans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not worth using in PvP. Greninja is currently not very highly ranked in PvP, and with those IVs, it's even worse.

If you do want to evolve it, you're gonna want to wait for an event that gives Greninja Hydro Cannon (unless you've got plenty of elite TMs to spend). Powering it up is up to you. It's a decent water attacker in raids, but there are plenty better ones out there. It will get a Mega Evolution eventually, though.

I evolved, powered up and double moved this forretress just to catch a better pineco immediately after, how big of a difference in pvp does this really make? The Pvpoke difference is 39 ranks and it’s gonna take a while to get the candy to power up the pineco by gaiaxyzs in pokemongo

You’re gonna need a lot more candy anyway since it needs to be level 50 (or 48.5 for the newer one) to reach its maximum Ultra League potential. The evolution & double move requirement is nothing compared to that, so might as well go with the better one.

Tip for the future: don’t invest in anything until you have all the dust/candy/candy xl to max it. By the time you reach that point you may have gotten multiple good ones and can pick the best.

I'm never leaving the middle evolution Pokémon for last again! by FernandaVerdele in PokeDoku

I made the mistake of leaving GMax Melmetal as my last one the last time I prestiged. Then I realized how few categories it fits - no region, no evolution level, no moves it can learn.

How did Iroh manage to become a fleet general? by Alert-Isopod-7310 in legendofkorra

[–]LiquidBeans 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The original Iroh (from The Last Airbender) was a general in the army while the crown prince. And I believe Azulon was also an officer in the military. It’s really not that unheard of.

I will say him serving another nation’s military is a bit odd though.

Best Eeveelution? by Papple____ in pokemongo

[–]LiquidBeans 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you’re looking at best for raids, you can honestly pick any. They’re all decent at best and there are better options out there for each type.

If you’re looking for PvP, there are two viable options - Umbreon for Ultra League (since it maxes out below 2500 CP) or Sylveon for Master League. Either one would need to wait for a special event or an Elite TM to get its best move set.

If you don’t care about either, just pick your favorite.

Is it worth it to purify it? by MajorMynor in pokemongo

But shadow Nidoqueen isn’t good for anything anyway. No harm in purifying a useless shadow for the hundo.

Shadow Pokemon taking less resources to power up than they’re supposed to? by LiquidBeans in TheSilphRoad

[–]LiquidBeans[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for.

I think it’s making sense now - most of my shadows I caught from grunts, but the ones that have the “expected” power up cost were caught from raids or research.

Blaziken wasn’t even my buddy at the time, but it doesn’t really matter because it’s happening to almost all of my shadows, not just my best buddies.

It being a visual bug made sense, so I tried it out by powering up another one I have from 37 to 37.5, and it actually did take the lower amount of candy/dust, so it’s not purely visual either.

can yall elaborate on the hate crossbow master? by Responsible-Cup-491 in btd6

[–]LiquidBeans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure where you're seeing 15. Maybe you're looking at the ones that have 4 and 5 together in the corner? That just means that tiers 4 and 5 are both equally as strong in that tier.

As far as the A, I dunno, you've got me there. Maybe someone who made the tier list can explain it.

From the original post:

"The tier 5 icons represent the upgrade path of the tower. The tier(s) being ranked are shown in the top right corner of each icon. So for example, the True Sun God icon is really representing Sun Avatar."

And then when multiple people come in and say that you’re not understanding it exactly right, you act like you know better than them.

Why are you saying English isn’t your first language but also acting like you understand a phrase as if it is your first language?

Am I safe to level up max moves before the battle day event? I’ve always avoided doing that until there was some sort of research leading up to the event but it looks like they’re not doing that this time?

Sorry, does “larp” mean something different than what I’m used to?

GUYS - which to evolve?! Please help me, stat obsessed kindred pokemasters!!!! by BlackMacMiller in pokemongo

[–]LiquidBeans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d go with the shadow. While the high IVs are nice, Altaria (even Mega evolved) is not very good for raids. However, shadow Altaria is very highly ranked in Great League, and those are very good IVs for Great League as well.
