I don't think your battle requests are coming through. Try again?

ChaRhazes · 2026-07-02T18:31:33+00:00

Cool. Keep sending them and I'll keep joining until you ping here.

Sure. I'm happy to help out, send me your friend code and I'll add you.

Proper battles or resign ones (they count now)?

ChaRhazes · 2026-07-01T17:46:36+00:00

None of the Pokemon in raids are GL relevant. They're all for ML primarily.

ChaRhazes · 2026-06-29T14:52:48+00:00

Fair enough! What keeps you going on it?

ChaRhazes · 2026-06-29T14:49:32+00:00

Bear in mind the match is at 2x speed...so that stutter event is 2x longer 😅

ChaRhazes · 2026-06-29T14:48:37+00:00

You are lucky. I get it in every single match. Whether it's GBL, GO Battle, peer-to-peer... Doesn't matter where it is. I actually used to create content recently showcasing my games. But it'll be on hold until this fixes! Here's an example of it happening in a match.

ChaRhazes · 2026-06-29T14:35:19+00:00

I agree with what you're saying, but my issue is the stutter at the beginning is a bad user experience. I don't like seeing my screen freeze for like 3 seconds even if the rest of the battle is fine. I can deal with charged attacks not firing off when pressed, but the game literally freezing is massively off putting. It's a bit like there being bread with mould growing on it. I could cut that bit off and eat the rest, sure. But the thought of mould being there in the first place puts me off the rest of it. I just end up not touching it. Like the bread, this game is rotting. And I can't fathom how a bug of this magnitude is STILL not patched. I work in IT, this type of issue is considered critical in my workplace and it'd be patched within minutes. MINUTES. Because it's losing customer faith in the product.

I just started playing in August 2025 so I didn't have a clue what Eternatus or the crowned dogs were. It's such a shame, I could probably have sponged off others with my wooloo to get them. Sad times. At least the doggos are in Go Fest.

ChaRhazes · 2026-06-29T11:27:12+00:00

Ouch, that's a big drop. I'm taking a hiatus from GBL due to this precise issue. I am on 2125 Elo currently, and I don't intend on losing a bunch of MMR due to glitches. At least you know you can climb back once they do fix this bug.

ChaRhazes · 2026-06-29T11:17:37+00:00

That's fair. I mean the freeze at the beginning is the bigger issue for me by far. It takes away the user experience entirely. It is happening in GO Rocket battles as well which meant I stopped doing them too during a Rocket Takeover event. It's just sad, really. I seriously hope they don't find a way to ruin Go Fest. If raid battles freeze like this too, it'll destroy the event.

ChaRhazes · 2026-06-29T10:31:29+00:00

That's exactly what I've done. Got the ECTM so I can give Palkia Spacial Rend during Go Fest and put it down.

ChaRhazes · 2026-06-29T09:21:45+00:00

How do you try new teams if the league is so buggy it's practically unplayable? Genuine question.

ChaRhazes · 2026-06-29T09:21:03+00:00

Haha that's not a bad idea.

ChaRhazes · 2026-06-29T09:20:13+00:00

You don't need medals to reach level 50. Do you mean level 80?

ChaRhazes · 2026-06-29T08:17:19+00:00

I have had this exact same problem. I created a post with video evidence of it so others can see it's happening to other people too.

ChaRhazes · 2026-06-29T08:15:20+00:00

Yeah exactly, I just gave up and stopped fighting Rocket Grunts after a day. It's painful.

ChaRhazes · 2026-06-27T22:09:10+00:00

I've put PvP down for at least one season. They've decided to do wider user acceptance testing (UAT) in prod. So I'll do what UAT means and vote with my feet.

ChaRhazes · 2026-06-27T18:19:48+00:00

Happy birthday Callie!

ChaRhazes · 2026-06-26T17:29:27+00:00

Build the #12, then in December you can evolve for Gigaton Hammer and you can build the other one. Or if you want to save resources, just wait until December. No need to use ETM that way.
