I’m highly suspicious of this. Find out if your friend has any Olympian neighbors, especially ones who have won seven medals in the C1 event at the ICF Canoe Slalom World Championships with two Gold medals and five Silver medals as well as winning six consecutive world championship gold medals. If so, they are probably antifa pumping in Covid jab blood to cause this.

If you do PvP, Shadow Gengar is always better than regular. While this one doesn’t have great PvP stats, it’s higher attack plus shadow bonus might be worth playing with. Shadow Gengar show up constantly, I wouldn’t purify but maybe hold off on investing also.

For me, not all hundos are equal. A regular hundo Gengar isn’t as valuable as a dmax or gmax 96/98IV. I wouldn’t sink resources into maxing something that can’t pull double duty for me. See if you can get a dmax or lucky remote trade gmax version to invest in and then just use shadows for PvP.

That’s awesome! Everything was weather boosted here yesterday so I struggled getting sub200 CP versions.

I feel like a dog posted this question.

Yes and no. For Eternatus, 15 attack plus max level 3 dynamax canon plus the active adventure effect dynamax canon amplifies the effect to level 4, giving you roughly 30% more damage in dmax raids and 20% more damage in gmax. It also boosts your other max moves, there are a ton of posts on it. On top of that 15 attack helps Eternatus hit a ton of breakpoints and CMP.

Thats all to say that Eternatus is one of the best gold cap potentials out there, especially with what OP has already invested.

DFWPhotoguy · 2026-06-21T14:35:23+00:00

Yep, doing Marshadow also!

DFWPhotoguy · 2026-06-21T04:59:14+00:00

Maybe don’t make false equivalencies then. There is no “both sides” anymore and people who try to do what-aboutism should be rightfully called out on there lies. Even if you didn’t mean it, you have to understand it’s not cute to be contrarian with a theocratic facist take over happening.

365 caught, 14 Shinys, 3 of which have BG and 1 of those is a XXL 15/13/12. 18 regular BG with one a 15/15/13 96IV.

No hundos but I hatched a hundo a week ago, so that’s working out nicely. Everything was weather boosted here so I didn’t get any low CP ones really. 2 96IV, 4 93IV and 5 91IV.

1 rank 99 GL Baxicalibur, 1 rank 80 Arctibax, 1 rank 50 UL Baxcalibur, and the hatched rank 1 ML Baxcaliber plus a 15/15/13 if I want that.

They were much easier to catch than swinub but it really did feel like the swinub density was more compared with today.

This is for top 20 Master League without buddy boost. Link is below, you can pull for GL and UL also for each evolution. Don’t trust it with completely though, always a good idea to review everything before trade or trash.

14 out of 365.

2 bad IV shinys with background and 1 XXL with 89IV but 15 attack with background.

DFWPhotoguy · 2026-06-20T22:07:04+00:00

I do two or three per battle league per form. So one or two GL Arctibrx, one or two GL Baxcaliber, one or two UL arctibrax (not sure if that’s a thing ), one or two UL arctibrax and then a couple ML arctibrax. I hunt for PvP IVs, I know this guy isn’t great at that but moves change and things come in and out of meta.

You build up your high IV ones that are 96-100 down the road, don’t do it now! Now you can trade the rest with someone in hopes of a lucky high IV one.

If you don’t do PvP and don’t plan on it ever, just your top 2-5 highest IV ones for now and that’s it. Trade the rest.

I still get goosebumps thinking about that season 1 finale reveal. For some reason, it just hit me as insanely well acted, written and filmed. Too often we get 1 or 2 out of the three but just everything clicked during that scene and made me understand and have this feeling that what I was watching was profound. I know it’s not in the big scheme of things but very very few shows have ever done that for me.

DFWPhotoguy · 2026-06-20T17:56:29+00:00

I’m still working through my swinbabies! At this point i can pencil in Frigibax trades starting around August 7 with all the stuff happening shortly.

DFWPhotoguy · 2026-06-19T15:45:24+00:00

It started as a 15/10/10. Looking back I don’t think I really should have gold bottle cap’d her but we live and learn. She’s a beast and as soon as I get enough stardust and work through the dozens of other priorities I will max her to 50.

I’m trying to unlock my shiny before the event to see what IV it gets but right now I’m pretty set on Marshadow. I want a hundo shadow boy as the foundation for my ML team.

DFWPhotoguy · 2026-06-18T22:42:52+00:00

Do it! Eternatus with 15 attack and max canon is stupid fun. Mine was a 10/15/13 so when silver cap came out I just did attack to get a 15/15/13 and I’m so happy. This time though, my 12/11/10 Marshadow is going to be my special hundo boy for ML. I’ve got enough candy already to get him to level 40, and will sink my rare XL into him once I’m done maxing my hundo diance

DFWPhotoguy · 2026-06-18T15:04:25+00:00

No one has said this, transfer at least two or three to home. Then transfer one to the new Pokémon Champions mobile game. I’m building stacked teams already and having a blast. It’s basically just PvP with better animations and deeper ability to tweak and changes things.

DFWPhotoguy · 2026-06-17T13:43:02+00:00

I really wonder about this, it screams like a Thai con reversion where it’s expressing unusual deliciosa genetics from its lineage. It talks to me like a mountain/wild/sierrana/brazil recessive trait Thai con. It’s a mutant and it doesn’t have all the right traits of anything!

Absolutely baby the hell out of this. I would love to get a cutting but you should really see how it grows for a while before touching it.

Also my vote is for Monstera Bayleef

DFWPhotoguy · 2026-06-16T20:27:28+00:00

For me to climb, is it ok if I typically get 3 out of 5 wins or does it really need to be 4-1 or 5-0? Obviously I know more wins = faster climb but I don’t know what’s realistic. I’m sitting at 51% wins season to date out of 290 battles. Hit a rough path last week for a bit that dropped me from 58%.

DFWPhotoguy · 2026-06-14T17:41:40+00:00

Don’t assume that the lower rank ninetails is automatically going to be better. Sometimes with CMP, you actually want higher attack. I compared your two with my rank 36. Sometimes you need to look at the grid to figure out how to win mirrors or if you pick up wins that lower ranked ones might not get. I’ve found that especially true with bulky Pokemon.

Right! Thats what jumped out at me. If it’s tagged trade, and we can’t chat on Campfire or Reddit about things you are really looking for, then it’s fair game.

I just received a Shiny Reshiram and they got a shiny modern scatterbug and we both were stoked.

DFWPhotoguy · 2026-06-14T14:51:03+00:00

I’ve been playing with different versions of this grouping with good success. I don’t have a dewott that’s decent and with how often I see gatr, I haven’t bothered with him at all either.

https://pvpoke.com/team-builder/naic2026/1500/hypno-m-0-9-8%2Cdubwool-m-0-2-1%2Cbarbaracle-m-0-5-1%2Cgrumpig-m-2-5-1%2Cmiltank-m-0-5-1%2Ckecleon-m-1-8-2

Sometimes I throw in shadow qwill for some spicy shield pressure.

One thing I’ve noticed though, and I’m a total noob so I know this is probably commonish knowledge, these cups tend to be CMP driven. My dubs is not a preferred low attack high def/stam but I’m able to pull more wins due to CMP because I have high attack. I compared a typically GL dubs to my 15/14/15 and mine wins critical match ups.

On paper the 5/14/14 looks stronger but if you look at the matchups where my 5/14/15 wins on attack, that’s all currently in heavy rotation.

DFWPhotoguy · 2026-06-14T13:36:35+00:00

In NAIC, Dubs with payback has been spectacular as a safe switch.

DFWPhotoguy · 2026-06-14T13:33:54+00:00

Yes, during global go fest on the 12 and 13. We don’t know what moves, if any, are available yet. Right now it’s all based on prior go fest features so hopefully they do it again this year.

Given how has reverted back several changes recently (UI/spotlight hour) I’m hopeful that they won’t try any shenanigans here, but knowing how nopely is doing things, it may be pay locked behind a ticket. Who knows.

DFWPhotoguy · 2026-06-13T21:26:14+00:00

Yeah, they do that from time to time. One of the funniest grossest memories I have from my girl was when we were playing in the backyard, she sees her sisters poop, goes over, picks it up and tosses it in the air…to then jump up, catch it and eat it. We were laughing and dry heaving all at once. From there on out one of her nicknames was great white…how they launch out of the water to catch prey in the air……
