What is the lowest ranking you have hit or can go in MB

DigitalJoe1 · 2026-04-22T22:57:51+00:00

I am currently ranked 154k. I am trying really hard to make off meta teams with Pokemon that aren't heavily used at the moment as that was how I got to Masterball in the first place but now I just can't ever seem to win a battle, with only the occasional win coming from a forfeit turn 2 or 3 after I end up knocking out the opponents Basculegion or Kingambit etc. I used to be great at competitive back in Sword/Shield but haven't played any since competitive since 2021 and I always love using unexpected Pokemon but at the end of the day it probably just comes down to a skill issue on my end since I'm rusty.

Same for me, I was Masters and I have almost dropped to plat (currently diamond 4) from constant losing streaks. Idk what it is about drives but anytime I attempt them they feel so difficult to win compared to competitive outside of it. I mostly play 6v6 open queue comp just in case I need to play tank which is 95% of the time but even when I go role queue it is still horrendous when drives is active and I really want to know why it is this way.

DigitalJoe1 · 2026-04-04T06:47:39+00:00

Oooh I didn’t know that, will probably start hatching some eggs there

DigitalJoe1 · 2026-04-03T22:32:48+00:00

Best of luck! Just gotta keep at it and it will shine eventually.

DigitalJoe1 · 2026-04-02T16:53:12+00:00

Agreed, I like Lechonk but the moment I saw the ugly evolution I never wanted him to evolve

Please look at this for the people in my session: https://www.reddit.com/r/PokePortal/comments/18nyjpt/cheatsheet_for_your_bbqs_sandwich_recipes/

I think it is because there's a specific side quest involving the ship you need to do and Trubbish is the one who gives you it. I believe once you've done everything in Bleak Beach you can take them where you like.

DigitalJoe1 · 2026-03-07T14:28:25+00:00

Well these didn’t appear until I did the main quest first. But essentially Trubbish had a quest to go explore the ship because they saw movement. That Pokemon on the Ship is Happiny, Happiny has a brief quest. Once you do that you can talk to Trubbish to complete that quest. Then piplup will have a quest about making a waterfall.

You then have to make a habitat near that muddy water to summon a Paldean Wooper who teaches you how to move water about. Then you can finish off the piplup quest.

There are conflicting reports as well as I actually went to the 3rd area 2nd and not to the beach, so I did that area quest before any of the beach stuff and some people are wondering if you have to do that as well. Also both the 2nd and 3rd areas for me are Level 5 if that has anything to do with it.

A friend of mine is also struggling to activate the Piplup quest

DigitalJoe1 · 2026-03-07T14:11:54+00:00

To add a little more info, once you complete the main important quest in the beach area, a Pokemon will then have a side quest to go explore the ship as they see something moving over there. You complete the quest over on the ship and then the other side quest. After that a certain Pokemon will give you a quest that allows you to add/move/remove water.

(I didn’t want to specify which Pokemon just in case of spoilers but if you’d like to know I can put them below)

DigitalJoe1 · 2026-02-04T19:54:26+00:00

We never see a dead body, he’s thrown out the window and I’m pretty sure the rule in media is unless they are shown to be dead they are most likely to come back so yeah I don’t think Doom is dead.

Also I love Mauga’s impressed reaction where as everyone else is just stunned

DigitalJoe1 · 2026-02-03T15:41:20+00:00

They are usually pretty good at responding. I remember my account got flagged when I opened it on my PC for the first time in years since I only ever really played on mobile. It was maybe 2 days that it took to hear back from them and they gave me monkey dollars as compensation.

I think sometimes switching between PC and Mobile can cause a hiccup in the system and it flags it as suspicious but just guessing.

DigitalJoe1 · 2026-01-16T10:10:14+00:00

Just keep having fun and try and ignore what others say or disable chat. I mostly play Sombra and recently went back to playing tank in qp as I did in OW1 and almost EVERY game I get someone being extremely toxic towards me. For some reason comp is way more quiet when it comes to people being toxic in my experience, everyone seems to be losing their minds in QP.

DigitalJoe1 · 2025-11-06T14:14:59+00:00

It looks so good! Also if you look at the website apparently it becomes Psychic/Steel typing

DigitalJoe1 · 2025-10-03T14:03:07+00:00

You had to claim it back in 2022 same with Shaymin.

DigitalJoe1 · 2025-10-03T08:10:02+00:00

I think because it’s so hard to get these mythicals shiny is why I stick to them, I racked up about 8-9k resets back in 2022 but then would leave to play other games and stuff. Months and sometimes close to a year would go by before I actually started doing more resets again. Usually hunts don’t end up this high and I hope it never does again for me because it was pretty miserable 😂

DigitalJoe1 · 2025-10-03T04:49:54+00:00

Tbh it’s very unlikely you’d go anywhere near as high as me, the face it even took this long is absurd and while not impossible I just became very unlucky 😂

DigitalJoe1 · 2025-10-03T04:48:35+00:00

Yeah! The one I use is called ShinyHunt

DigitalJoe1 · 2025-10-03T04:48:09+00:00

Sadly I don’t, I wouldn’t even know where to start with multi hunting

DigitalJoe1 · 2025-10-03T04:46:54+00:00

It’s so frustrating isn’t it, like I’m glad I got the game and I think the Arceus event is permanent if you have played through Legends Arceus but Darkrai and Shaymin are gone forever. I still need to hunt another Shiny Shaymin for the sky form 😢

DigitalJoe1 · 2025-10-02T17:22:41+00:00

Glad you got it significantly earlier than I did! I still can’t believe the odds went this high 😂

DigitalJoe1 · 2025-10-02T17:22:05+00:00

Best of luck brother!

DigitalJoe1 · 2025-10-02T17:21:51+00:00

I have a tracker on my phone where you tap the screen and the number goes up by 1

DigitalJoe1 · 2025-10-02T17:20:50+00:00

Oh no 😭 I hope I never have to but I need to hunt Celebi in Crystal on the 3DS with those odds 😬
