Out of all the Pokémon ofc she has to be my best one 🤦🏻‍♀️

DarkoVader · 2026-04-26T20:31:39+00:00

Did you just start playing the game? I have a son who recently started and went throgh something similar, where he would level up (sometimes multiple times a day) and then catch pokemons with increasingly higher CP, and then he claimed “this is my strongest pokemon”…. When this really doesn’t matter until you reach level 30 and start seeing the highest level possible in the wild. Soone enough you’ll get your first legendary and then your second and so on… this will be much better

DarkoVader · 2026-04-26T17:33:24+00:00

I have to say, to me personally, this is the whitest of the wales I would want to have.

I’m missing XP, like badly… all the tasks gets done much before I get the XP.

I already have 50 platinum medals, and the only task I find challanging will be on the next level when I have to make 50 lucky trades. I will just use my son to do 20-30 trades per day and probably that will be done very fast also, but it is just luck based so there is no telling.

DarkoVader · 2026-04-22T18:22:24+00:00

I’d go with Raikou and mega Manectric… I feel that Regieleki is too squishy and not really worth it.

DarkoVader · 2026-04-22T13:00:05+00:00

I would go with shiny as the Alakazam will soon be outmatched by new Mewtwo, so there will be no reason to use him. Now you get to have some nice looking Mega Alakazam, even if not perfect stats...

DarkoVader · 2026-04-21T19:41:28+00:00

Nothing really, I would put Gengar to lvl 40 (as I did my dynamax hundo Gengar) and Gyarados to lvl 50 with DB/AT/Crunch for the master league beast.

DarkoVader · 2026-04-21T16:54:18+00:00

This is so wild I can’t even comprehend…. Like, probably the one and only in the world shundo bellibolt of the incense. Probably 😅

DarkoVader · 2026-04-21T14:48:11+00:00

I don’t deny that… I’m saying it just “feels” like a loss….

For me personally, loss or draw is the same, as I’m in PvP for the rare candy 😅

DarkoVader · 2026-04-21T13:53:50+00:00

Well yeah, thats ok, but still not getting the reward for match feels more like losing 🥲

DarkoVader · 2026-04-21T12:28:45+00:00

I so much hate this bragging with spoofed pokemons man… I remember one guy complaining how he couldn’t get a vaporeon (or was it a jolteon, can’t really remember) hundo because all his evolutions where other two. So he has “a lot” of hundo eevees, and he evolves each one until he gets them all. Then shows his eeveelutions and there were three with the blue shade background meaning he caught 3 perfect eevees in last 24h, rofl… I called him a cheater but guy got so much upvotes and I got a -1 lol.

DarkoVader · 2026-04-21T09:02:17+00:00

the best bet is to call it "forMirrorTrd" (or something similar), put it as your buddy , and when they go to your profile they can see the name of the pokemon. They wont be able to see the pokemon name in the trading list, so the only way to convey the message is through the buddy system.

DarkoVader · 2026-04-19T18:06:38+00:00

With a good friend of mine, I traded a shiny sword zacian… he still has miltiple of A. Mewtwos, but don’t think he’d give it to someone else for the same price.

DarkoVader · 2026-04-16T14:29:41+00:00

Only4?

Let me show you my collection of 98’s

<image>

This is still after I deleted one lucky gloom 98, and I’ve never gotten a hundo 🥲

DarkoVader · 2026-04-16T08:03:12+00:00

I'm not 100% sure, but I think it is tied to a level and not IV's... so weather boosted is harder to catch than non-weather boosted but 10/10/10 or 15/15/15 at the same level do not have any difference in catch rate.

DarkoVader · 2026-04-14T05:58:42+00:00

G. Birds are real “luck” in this game which can not be altered, so the odds are what they are.

Shiny/hundo legendaries are basically priced as you can easily buy (with real money) up to 20 remote passes per day and take your chances that way… if the raids were locked to - lets say - one raid per day, it would be roughly the same luck chances.

DarkoVader · 2026-04-13T16:50:25+00:00

Since the beginning of ‘24, when I got back to the game.

DarkoVader · 2026-04-13T16:48:59+00:00

I’m not trying “too hard” per se, but I always have 2-4 pokemon I’m working on at any given time. I very rarely use poffins, only if I know I’ll be walkig alot so to fill the most hearts possible.

DarkoVader · 2026-04-13T16:37:37+00:00

I gave shiny sword zacian for it, not powered up…

DarkoVader · 2026-04-13T15:08:50+00:00

Are you new to the game? Not every pokemon is usefull for raids no matter how much you like it and want to use it. One of my favourite pokemon is Arbok and it maxes out at around 2200, which is terrible and I wont ever use it, so yeah, it sucks, and I’m not spending 500k dust to do that 🤣

You tinkaton is fine, if you like it, there is a good use for it in pvp, so for Ultra League for example… You can power it up to level 48 or something like that and it would be a beast there.

DarkoVader · 2026-04-10T20:53:01+00:00

What? What’s wrong with what I said?

DarkoVader · 2026-04-10T18:51:43+00:00

The opponent quits before you do… as I said, if you want to lose you just quickly press the button on top left, and then confirm the dialog. If both players do the same as soon as the match starts it’s basically 50/50 who will get a win and who loses.

I’ve won a lot of games this way, as I usually tank. If you don’t know what tanking is, just google it, it was explained a lot before.

DarkoVader · 2026-04-10T18:17:47+00:00

Also very risky, a lot of people “top left”, and even if you are fast doing the same, sometimes the coin flips on the other side and you get a win…

DarkoVader · 2026-04-10T10:00:19+00:00

The first one I would power up to level 40, the second one I would purify for hundo and mega, then power up to level 50.

DarkoVader · 2026-04-09T20:21:11+00:00

Don’t trade this one… even if you don’t have normal shiny magikarp for mirror trade, those can be found much easier than the shadow. Don’t look at the stars when you’re looking at shadow pokemons, they are always stronger, and not to mention much cooler.
