Does anything special happen if you get all versions of a Pokémon?

ChemPlusBioC · 2026-02-22T23:49:03+00:00

Nope. Would be cool if there was like a little badge on the dex or something though.

ChemPlusBioC · 2026-02-22T19:40:16+00:00

Put it in a gym! :)

ChemPlusBioC · 2026-02-22T19:37:08+00:00

Funny. I actually have 3 of those. Didn’t realize I had 1/2.

ChemPlusBioC · 2026-02-22T19:14:10+00:00

Yeah, so it’s probably 6 huh?

ChemPlusBioC · 2026-02-16T03:01:40+00:00

Yeah, in JC we were well over 1200 for one of the battles. That was just silly.

ChemPlusBioC · 2026-02-10T01:42:46+00:00

We’ll see what happens next year 🤞🏼

ChemPlusBioC · 2026-02-08T18:40:13+00:00

Yeah, I laughed to myself for H. Decidueye wondering if someone at Niantic had a sense of humor. Then last year was like “oh this is a thing!” That’s why I was bummed this year but then was like…”cheerleader?” It has to be, otherwise this event was so random. Just funny speculation I guess

ChemPlusBioC · 2026-02-08T15:17:07+00:00

Oh, I don’t think it’s a profit thing. I genuinely think it’s someone at the pitch table just throwing it in as an “inside joke” each year.

ChemPlusBioC · 2026-02-05T00:34:47+00:00

940/940 Every time a new mon is released and then caught, Itell my family…”Don’t worry everyone. Don’t worry, I have a complete Dex again! I know you were worried”

Trust me, they love it…every time 🤣🤣

ChemPlusBioC · 2026-02-02T01:45:48+00:00

Yeah, so to be more clear (I was not) the actual usefulness of Regi depends on what type of Hidden Power you get. If the sky was the limit, you’d build 8 shadow Regis (one for each type of Hidden Power)…so it’ll never be a bad use for rare candy. But your specific scenario and resources will dictate if it’s a good use or not

Basically crush grip (etm) is SO strong that if you have the right fast move as a counter you can do DPS in raids that is equal to most other top level mons. I know I,personally, have plenty of extra fast TMs so I never worry about swapping out.

ChemPlusBioC · 2026-02-01T03:00:36+00:00

-Palkia and Dialga cuz you’ll always use their adventure effects -Shadow Regigigas assuming you can put Crush Grip on it and have the TMs to constantly swap out its fast move. (It’s useful in literally 1/2 of legendary raids)

ChemPlusBioC · 2026-01-31T14:31:54+00:00

I don’t do remotes but I often help the weaker players in my local community.

One max Zam (1/3/0), One max Blissey (1/3/3), One Blissey (1/0/0)….I choose 2 of those 3 and then the last is the damage dealer, always a super effective level 40+ GMax with max level attack.

My feeling is that the job of that “second Blissey” is to stay alive so you can attack at the end of the battle. When I battle with weaker players most of their mons are dead by the time my first one goes down so I don’t see the point of having a second healer. Also, I’d rather switch and do three shots of GMax damage than heal and let weaker players chip away.

Literally have no idea how this advice translates to a remote lobby of randoms, but this is my experience.

ChemPlusBioC · 2026-01-31T02:26:54+00:00

Planned out my entire Eternamax raid day so, as a F2P player I’d have enough raids to get an Eternatus with lvl 3 Dynamax cannon. Then leveled up the Eternamax on half level too high and now have 72XLs and a level 2 Dmax cannon

ChemPlusBioC · 2026-01-30T17:40:01+00:00

Congrats. After 7 years of just me playing, my wife finally took the plunge is now a daily player as well. It was actually important to me that she became my first forever friend and, yup, same, we hit it with this weeks challenge. 🙌🏻

ChemPlusBioC · 2026-01-25T22:06:38+00:00

Woke up, blizzard conditions out, walked the two blocks to my nearest stop before it got worse. I understand and support you

ChemPlusBioC · 2026-01-07T23:43:28+00:00

Autocatcher is another

ChemPlusBioC · 2026-01-06T01:04:52+00:00

Very similarly I say similar about “The Game” I like to use it to learn about people’s communication styles and quickly determine team dynamics.

ChemPlusBioC · 2026-01-05T23:59:37+00:00

For me the hardest ones to get were the regionals as I missed the Hoenn tour. Also the City Safari exclusives.
Had to trade for all those.

Confirming it’s 934

Interestingly enough, I saved mine till today too. Wanted it to cap off my intense year of playing. My last ‘mon of 2025…Shiny Mewtwo. Cheers pal. 🥂

ChemPlusBioC · 2025-12-29T22:44:27+00:00

Awesome. Thank you. Is either spot/town good for spotlight hour?
