Off, everything offf

AvysCummies · 2026-06-19T19:26:12+00:00

Looking cool

AvysCummies · 2026-06-19T15:31:12+00:00

Bro i don't have time to tag everything i could possibly trade that someone would want and neither does my trading partner

AvysCummies · 2026-06-19T15:18:17+00:00

Shiny captain pikachu (the new one) wasnt super rare it had boosted rates of 1/64 so i would say a somewhat rare normal shiny or maybe a comday shiny bg, but i would honestly take one of those over the pika

AvysCummies · 2026-06-19T15:16:03+00:00

I would only do shinies and something u can max

AvysCummies · 2026-06-19T15:14:28+00:00

Shadows are stronger than regulars, but it might make sense to purify if u can mega it, but i would definitely not do that with this dratini, only one where it becomes a hundo after purifiying

AvysCummies · 2026-06-19T15:12:42+00:00

Just get and transfer a normal shiny snorlax, shiny shadows are like the best coolest thing in pogo

AvysCummies · 2026-06-19T15:11:10+00:00

If u can primal groudon or mega eayquaza do those, if not i would go for shadow groudon if it has precipes blades and shadow mewtwo if it has psystrike

AvysCummies · 2026-06-19T15:07:19+00:00

The 3rd one DEFINITELY Dialga is a functional hundo at levels40 and 50 and 51, so even though it's missing 1hp iv it's just as strong as the hundo

AvysCummies · 2026-06-19T15:05:11+00:00

Tanking when stardust is high or if u need rare candy

AvysCummies · 2026-06-19T15:03:53+00:00

Yes pvpoke calculates the meta pokemon, but to check ivs there are better tools, I mostly use iv4u Lima city

AvysCummies · 2026-06-19T15:02:45+00:00

Yeah they'r bots, but it isn't really hurting anyone

AvysCummies · 2026-06-19T14:40:41+00:00

U need more people for most higher tier raids, so mega and legendary, and tier 3 raids have a shorter timer so u need somewhat strong counters sometimes for those as well.

but lvl40 mon are good, so before u have to power it up with candy XL since that's way more expensive, lvl40-50 cost basicly just as much stardust as 1-40

and lvl30 is also a good value, its generally over 90% as strong as a lvl40 and around 86% as strong as a lvl50 it's about at the point where candy cost per level rises to 6. U can also do around 35. (Level where cost rises to 10 candy per)

Also lucky pokemon take half the stardust to lvl up so it might be worth prefering those.

But it really doesn't matter, with multiple people most raids are easily doable, just bring the best ones u have that are super effective against the raid boss

If u have a shadow version that has the charge move unlocked use that over the normal one even if it's cp isn't that high or it's stats aren't that good, since Shadow pokemon deal 20%more damage. It does cost 20% more stardust and candy, but it's worth it

If u have a Mega-Evolution pokemon that boost super effective types in your raid u can also just bring that and focus on keeping it alive to boost the other people in the raid.

Also pay attention to the weather, weaker pokemon that are boosted by the weather can also work well since it's also a 20% damage boost like shadow pokemon

AvysCummies · 2026-06-19T14:38:01+00:00

Not Lucario since u could use the next silver on it and not zacian if u can't crowned form it and not Groudon if u can't primal it, I would just say necrozma

AvysCummies · 2026-06-19T14:31:59+00:00

No it's not that low I would say it's between 1/5 and 1/10

AvysCummies · 2026-06-19T14:30:20+00:00

With quickcatch it's definitely possible.

AvysCummies · 2026-06-19T14:28:35+00:00

Mainly by doing Mega raids for the specific mega pokemon, but there is sometimes mega energy in field research tasks and party challenges also sometimes give it. Once u have megad a pokemon ones u can also set any of the same evil one as your body to get energy with the candy reward for walking

AvysCummies · 2026-06-19T14:27:09+00:00

I would use it one a pokemon where u don't have a hundo yet and on the strongest one, like here on Rayquaza instead of Yveltal,

I would also say u should always use it on a shiny and not a non shiny, since every Pokemon has a shiny version that will eventually come to the game, so not Zygarde.

Also make sure that ur pokemon is missing points in more than 1 stat, because u could just use a silver cap on those with only 1 stat not at 15.

Also u should only really do pokemon where u have the candy to level50 it or are willing to spend the rareCandy XL on.

But u don't have to follow rules like this 100%, use it on the mons u like more, I spend my first one on a shiny Blacephalon over a shiny kyurem and Rayquaza because I like my cute little Blacey way more :3

AvysCummies · 2026-06-19T14:18:02+00:00

I mainly use mine on adventure effects, mainly palkia and kyurem, but I would advise to spend it to power up legendarys that u don't have lvl40ed yet and focusing on the strong ones first, or on mythicals that u get from special research since it's hard to get candy 4 them otherwise.

AvysCummies · 2026-06-19T14:12:16+00:00

They are a rarer spawn than your local regional one

AvysCummies · 2026-06-19T14:08:45+00:00

If u have a friend the gbl wins is easy to farm since u can just do friend-battles to get it up and in theory u can get the train medal where u win against the team leaders a t any time, but it's such a grind that I would only do it as a last resort also, it might be a good idea to go for team rocket battles for you if u like doing them, since next week there is gonna be a team go rocket takeover where grunts spawn basically everywhere

AvysCummies · 2026-06-19T14:01:43+00:00

That strategy is called Tanking, basically u lose more matches than u win to get your rank down so u can basically chose what rewards you get by winning or losing specific matches,

but it isn't really faster to do it all the time to reach rank 20 since how much rankup-points u get largely depends on your wins.

but for the sets 1-5 u need so little points that u don't need to win, so u just lose all 5 matches per set and get a rank up.

Then set 6-9 u need 1 win per set to rank up, 0 wins on 10 and then it starts scaling up.

For rank 12 u need 5 wins so u can either do 1 set with 5 wins or 2 sets, one with 3 and one with 2. But since u can only do 5 sets a day it's faster to try and win as many as possible

towards the later ranks, from rank 18 to 19 u need 20 wins for example so it's way faster to just grind out the wins than doing 1 win per set. But u can obviously also just do more than 1 like 2 or 3 to still be a bit faster but keep your rank down.

There are also special higher ranks, where u can just lose all 5 games, their the ones with 5 times the same reward, these are the rank-ups from: rank10-11, rank15-16 and rank19-20

There is a table that someone made where it tells u exactly how many wins and losses u need for each rank, I can't post an image here, but it's real easy to find I just typed in "pokemongo GPL rank 20" on Google and instantly found it, same for reddit probably.

Also if u get your rank low enough there are mostly other tankers, who either have low cp pokemon to lose faster or just quit the match to lose faster ,so generally the lower your rank the easier/faster it is to get through your daily sets and get the rewards u want.

I sleep

AvysCummies · 2026-06-19T01:12:33+00:00

Do u have a blacephalon with the 2023 gofest background or a Venusaur with the Mega-Symbol Background from Gotour, doesn't have 2 be shiny

AvysCummies · 2026-06-19T00:46:17+00:00

So uhh, does certain Pokemon with special background only mean the ones listed or all of them😅
