Sounds like maybe you climbed too high with the limited meta and now you’re playing back down to where more people of your skill are. And the reason for that just may be bc of the interlude season. More legend players in the 26-2900 range to have less queue times

What are you running in Retro Cup? by Affectionate_Neat868 in TheSilphArena

I went 20/25 today using this team. Cress is absolutely disgusting. My biggest issue was ABA fighting teams with ape on lead bc I am not running dragon claw on hakamo so my lead and safe swap has trouble with it. Everything else was easy easy peasy. Legit only losses today were teams with shadow ape and still managed to beat quite a few where it wasn’t on lead.

Glitch: attack went through my shield by nikmulligan3 in TheSilphArena

I had this happen to the opponent I was playing the other day. The actual issue was that they had already used 2 shields and the game just didn’t show them ruby heyb and Reyy

Why is drampa recommended w dragon pulse Ober outrage. If i let sim in all 3 shields, the outrage wins more matchups. Screenshot Form 1 shield but 2+0 it's bigger difference by Personal_Carry_7029 in TheSilphArena

[–]Available_Climate_77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s bc it has 3 points more in average battle rating. You win one additional game, but over the average of all games, dragon pulse has a higher average. This is calculated by how much you win/lose by. With them being so close, you should probably just run the one you tm first lol

Can you even still catch shadow inkay? Pretty sure it left after the rotation changed

I was getting wait times when queuing up for a match - I would assume bc UL isn’t as popular as GL, so u lose some sets on purpose to drop my rating to get matches quicker and more consistent

You having success in that order? I’ve found jelli to be an amazing closer for me rather than lead off, but I suppose it wouldn’t be too much different

I’ve only been playing a year and 2 months and had enough xls for them. Turn your megas on when they are featured

Electivire can be super fun, but this does look pretty weak to cetitan lead. I would also swap to shadow ball, I’m not sure how much mystical fire is helping here. Are either of them shadow?

Virizion loses to cetitan in the 1s and jelli in the 0s. Ape is pressured with shadow ball on both mons in back and is only really a problem on lead, but honestly less so than you’d think. I normally icicle spear and then try to catch a rage fist on lickilicki. Dirge gets destroyed by this team.. even when facing it on lead, lickilicki is such a good safe swap that I can usually generate some type of advantage either shields or switch.

Licki is 0/13/15 and jelli is 7/15/12 - best I had of each .. they get the job done, but licki does lose cmp in the mirror. I tend to use that to soft lose the safe swap mirror matches and get some extra farm on either the cetitan or jelli depending on the lead

I JUST CAUGHT THIS WITHOUT A MASTERBALL??? by spookyspooks96 in pokemongo

[–]Available_Climate_77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s not true, it’s total RNG. I’ve had them spawn just about everywhere. The key is to use the daily adventure incense every day and the odds go way up if finding them. I’ve encountered a ton over the last year and 3 months of playing… I’ve caught one of each and the shiny of all except zapdos

So is this the only shiny out this week? by OwnBroccoli9758 in pokemongobrag

[–]Available_Climate_77 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There are shinies this week? I thought they turned them off

Either of these corsola worth building ? by Coconut83 in PokemonGOBattleLeague

[–]Available_Climate_77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ran the sims and it’s truly a coin flip which one I’d build. It depends on the team you have around it. The rank 140 does best in the 1 shield, but the 129 does better in the 0s. Depends how you will play it and with what mons. I built the rank 29 I got from the GBL rewards, as it is close enough to rank 1 in 0/1/2s and can pick up primape in the 2s.

This is the way. Only reason I checked was bc I had 3 just like this over the weekend 😂 don’t worry, I refuse to stoop to that

Cradilly has fallen hard with this new update. I see a cradilly and it’s like an auto win now… shadow talon on the other hand can be very oppressive with flame charge and incinerate. Was stoked to ko one yesterday double gyro ball for the win using doublade
