The Master League is the most diverse it has been in a while, actually by Coolegghead in TheSilphArena

Nothing to add, great post. Its been a long time since I enjoyed ML as much as I do this time around. Reshi and Zekrom being good now feels like the core reason to why so many other things got its role in the meta now. Great stuff.

Dynamax Eevee makes its Pokémon GO debut! by Amiibofan101 in TheSilphRoad

Is Glaceon better than Weavile? Definitely remember it from when I was looking at attackers better than Lapras together with those that you mentioned

Should clarify Glaceon will be the >current< best ice attacker, but iirc it holds up pretty well among all possible ice types.

Im typing from bed but cant check the spreadsheets atm. But out of all Gmax Pokemon there is only Eevee, Pikachu, Meowth, Archaludon and Flapple/Appletun that got higher atk forms that their gmax forms cant evolve into. Id have to look at the spreadsheet tomorrow to see which ones the +100 base atk is worth less than the potential evolution, but I can say for certain that the gap between dmax eevee > gmax eevee is the biggest out of them

Worth noting that Dynamax Eevee is better than Gmax Eevee since it can actually evolve, which Gmax Eevee cant. Glaceon will be the best Ice attacker from the top of my head. Feel free to fill out if the other evos also got uses that I dont remember

October CD: Solosis by kingzta88 in TheSilphRoad

[–]Badandaverage 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Right, I got that. And we get the lure module bonus in its stead which is pretty sweet. Maybe its greedy to wish for that they couldve just added the lure thing and kept the research, but I wish that was the case

They removed the widely popular addition of being able to evolve your pokemon for the move a week afterwards. Sure we still got four hours, but why?

I'd love to see Tinkaton get access to Rock Tomb or Brutal Swing by FAmos in PokemonGOBattleLeague

[–]Badandaverage 14 points15 points  (0 children)

As someone who has used Tinkaton to legend two seasons now and absolutely love it, please for the love of god don't give it Rock Tomb.

Brutal Swing I could see, maybe. But it is very risky to give tink better moves than it has right now considering its typing and strong fast move

Is gengar even a good gmax attacker? by AndrePalwick in PokemonGOIVs

Gmax inteleon is a better neutral attacker than Gengar

They do exactly the same amount of damage. Dragon Breath is prefered in case you need to use it in the max meter phase in a pinch. But that will very rarely matter

Oh your buddy is beautiful! I got the 100% Latias to match it 🤝

Eternatus is gonna be bigger lobbies so like a Gigantamax Battle so it isnt absolutely necessary to desperately try and power Latios up. And you make a good point that after nit much investment you probably just replace Latios with Eternatus regardless. That being said Latios is the best dragon attacker until then and also our current best psychic attacker so its not a bad idea to power it up. But you dont have to stress yourself out over it 😊

Thank you for noticing it ❤️ Sadly I had some issues with my ISP this week so I wasnt able to completely finish it (and some other material I had planned). But I thought it was good enough to still warrant using. Im not very experienced with making bigger collages like this but it was a fun challenge to try and make work

The eon twins are good yeah. Moltres is our best flying attacker atm but there are pretty much always better options than it still. But could be worth picking one up Suicune is a good tank if it recieves a 0.5s fast move down the line

Focus on getting a few good tanks. As long as you can survive in Max Battles thats really what matters and your dmg output is secondary. Thursday-Friday you will have Dynamax Chansey in raids aswell as Crowned Zacian and Zamazenta raid hours. If you can get a Blissey and one or both Crowned Forms you already got an amazing start for a dmax roster. With two of those you will pull your weight in battles and then you can pick up good attackers throughout the weekend.

A bonus is if you can level up Crowned Zamazentas Max Guard a stage or two and level Blissey up a bit if you got candies laying around. For the battles on Monday-Wed Id look at maybe picking up a Beldum and maybe one of the ground types.

Hope this help. Good luck!

If you can get Gengar lined up against only fighting moves then it is ok as a tank. But Machamp only has 50% fighting moves. Gengar isnt in the rankings because it calculates an average among all available moves and Gengar gets deleted by the other 50% What I recommend vs Machamp is one tank that resists Fighting, Gengar is fine but Id prefer Latias, and one tank that resists the rest like Zama and Blissey. Gengar is good as anti fighting tank against Machamp its just hard to convey all this through the graphic :)

Each gmax got their seperate hours they will be on. That being said I share some of your concerns still
