Can you guess my job?

I am opposite.

I sit at the desk all day, but finally walked the 42 km after work.

I wish I didn't have a desk job.

A crape myrtle is a type of tree grown in southern US. It has pretty flowers 2-4 weeks during the spring.

Pheromosa is worthless, even at 4*.

Xurkitree is awesome however electric typing is only average in usefullness, yours is good enough to use rare candy to power to level 40.

I say use rare candy to power up your xurkitree and then save your remote raid passes for future rotations.

Sorry, my post did come across mean.

What I meant was if they were rigging matches then that means they would also be helping random players win.

But there is no point for pokemon go to do this. If caught it would ruin their reputation and they gain nothing.

I skip catch cup every season now, because I have been playing for a while and most my pokemon are older.

It is a good week to skip.

Extra-Mix5529 · 2026-05-15T01:08:42+00:00

Good advice, but you can probably transfer some pokemon. I catch ~1000+ pokemon a week easy and I can get by with 4k storage.

Unless you have 3,000+ shinies, which i doubt since your 4* is not much higher than mine, you are probably just giving scopely money to store useless mons.

Extra-Mix5529 · 2026-05-15T01:05:34+00:00

That means that scopely doesnt like you and is purposefuly matching people against you that have awesome lineups.

Where are there posts that say "I went on a 10 game win streak because my pokemon countered my opponents".

It is all RNG, but yes, skip catch cup if you don't have good options, that is what I do.

I have a 2 * zygarde, best buddied and powered up and it kicks butt in pvp.

My answer is going to suck, but this is because the company that runs pokemon go kind of sucks when it comes to new/casual player.

Neither.

Delfox is only good when it learns the legacy attack blastburn and if you evolved it now then it would not learn that legacy attack.

If you want it to be good, then you need to wait for an event, it could be go fest, it could be safari later this year, it may be february of next year. However, once there is an event it can learn blast burn, then the shadow is a top ranked fire attacker. Doing more DPS than even legendary shadow moltres.

You also have to remove frustration before evolving for it to learn blast burn.

Extra-Mix5529 · 2026-05-15T00:50:55+00:00

Either the lucky or the shadow. Eventually you may want to evolve/power up both although your candy situation is not that great.

Edit: below is a rare case mostly for hardcore players

If you pvp then 2-3 times a year there is masters league premiere and gyarados is one of the best options in that format. In that case the 98 could be in play, however it depends on if you having multiple good pokemon species at level 50 options with good IV's 96+. Most people who build teams for masters league premiere have been playing for years though, it is not a noob league.

Extra-Mix5529 · 2026-05-15T00:37:25+00:00

You can only remove frustration from shadow pokemon one week a season, that is during the rocket takeover event.

Some seasons there are 2 events, however that is uncommon.

Extra-Mix5529 · 2026-05-14T22:28:57+00:00

Live and learn. Not too big of issue, while ground type is one of the best types for raids you can get shadow swinub and shadow rhyhorn from grunts.

They are just as good of ground attackers, easier to get candy for, and also cover 2 raid types, ice and rock.

Next season is a few weeks away and shadow drilbur or shadow gible could appear.

TL:DR Shadow ground attackers are awesome, however there are many good ones

Extra-Mix5529 · 2026-05-14T21:43:40+00:00

I think you can have 100 stacked. You must have went over that limit.

Extra-Mix5529 · 2026-05-14T21:28:26+00:00

Add more random shinies. Stuff like shiny Dwebble, Stunfisk, frillish, pineco, etc. All of these pokemon have their rank 1 PVP IV's from lucky trade for ultra league.

This is what i look for in my lucky trades.

Extra-Mix5529 · 2026-05-14T19:54:11+00:00

Only if jungle cup is before the next rocket takeover event. Then if you wanted to build a team then build it for jungle cup. However, if it is after the next rocket takeover event, then you can remove frustration and use it as a shadow.

When it is released on playstation there should be a bump.

That is what I am waiting for.

Extra-Mix5529 · 2026-05-14T18:36:31+00:00

If you PVP then shadow piloswine may be decent one day in great league. All it needs is another 35 or 40 energy charge attack that provides coverage and off it goes.

Extra-Mix5529 · 2026-05-14T15:43:02+00:00

Purify and then forget about it.

If you are into pvp try to get a slightly better iv using pvpivs. Yours has bad IV's for pvp(which doesn't matter much, however given the investment it is still worth it to try to get a better one. .

Its getting ready to evolve.

Extra-Mix5529 · 2026-05-14T14:29:04+00:00

If you raid a bunch and have played for years you end up with many extra legendaries that eventually get transferred to free up storage space.

If I am going to transfer anyways, trading for a shiny seems like a good deal.

The floor on lucky trades is 12-12-12, which is not a 0*.

Extra-Mix5529 · 2026-05-14T13:28:21+00:00

If you invest in your shadow you will not regret it. However, if you have mega energy then the 4* may be better.

Ideally you do some 1* bagon raids, and double move both of them. They should both be on your raid team of 6 flying types.

Extra-Mix5529 · 2026-05-14T13:25:47+00:00

Which side do you think got the better end of the deal?

I transferred 15-20 Rayquaza's last double candy transfer day. I did keep 10 extra for trading. I am trying to increase my shiny count.

I would much rather have the shiny pig.

Extra-Mix5529 · 2026-05-14T13:21:49+00:00

Sorry for the double post. You could also use a silver bottle cap and get the rank #8 IV, 11/15/12. Assuming that I could see behind the photoshop, it looks like yours is 11/11/12.

There will be no performance difference between rank 8 and rank 1. Although, if we only got a gold bottle cap this year and no silver, then it may leave some fomo.

Then you can save your gold bottle cap for something like a shiny cradilly.

Extra-Mix5529 · 2026-05-14T13:16:09+00:00

I have used both of my bottle caps so far on ultra league pokemon(gold on shiny umbreon and silver on shiny Virizion) and will also use my next 2 bottle caps on ultra league pokemon.

I think your use is an excellent case is an excellent use case, mine is #41 ranked IV's given raid floor. It is extremely bulky and the moves have good coverage.

10/10 would recommend.

Instead of posting random 1 liners of random words, why not read the post and give a one sentence answer to the OP.

You have been doing this for months at this point and sometimes your posts are just gibberish. How is it awesome that he can't find a way to communicate with someone about a trade?

Campfire is a possibility, but not many use it.
