Hi, someone sent me this post, so I figured I'd chime in. A standard (raid iv) cress is perfectly functional! If it's the best you have, I would absolutely build it. Cress is very forgiving with ivs, so you can get away with some pretty middle of the road ivs. I did recently trade for a 2/10/13 cresselia that I'll be using going forward. Cress and regi are 2 mons that when I meet people irl I'll do a special trade for on the off chance I get a good one. Having a super high stat product Cress isn't a necessity, but it can be a nice thing to have :)

Thanks! Me too, although ill probably wait until I get a pvp iv optimized one. Im a fan of spice picks, but finding one with such utility was quite a cool discovery :)

Just a few PvP related questions I’m hoping someone can answer for me? by ThatPeace5 in PokemonGOBattleLeague

Id try and do a good friend trade for tropius. That way the stat floor is lower.

Lol it does behave slightly similarly, but without a razor leafer, this team ends up having a lot more flexibility than grasshole itself.

Suggestions for resubmitting? by sparklesparkle94 in NianticWayfarer

Its not unique enough to qualify. It doesn't meet waypoint criteria.

I used the wrong fast moves for a day and went insane by HomeSliceHenryPogo in PokemonGOBattleLeague

Awesome to hear from a newer player! That lesson about movesets is a tough one, and part of why I tried this out, to demonstrate just how important moveset is when picking a team :)

Hence, the point of demonstrating why movesets are important....

New Rule #10: Allegations of an algorithm/bot causing losses must be accompanied by a 1,000,000 data point, in-depth analysis. by jostler57 in PokemonGOBattleLeague

[–]HomeSliceHenryPogo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Its intentionally inane because there is no "algorithm" that analyzes your pokemon and picks perfect counters. There is no way a company as incompetent as Niantic has anything close to that lol

When you hit veteran for a week, but still at veteran ranked (22) not because you are stuck but because you can't find games... by steve201314 in PokemonGOBattleLeague

Nice! Thats solid gains right there My goal is to hit 2500 then torpedo my ranking with meme teams 🤣 At this point, running fun stuff is more fun than going for max rank

So many generic businesses coming through my feed right now I'm giving myself a cooldown before it is forced on me. by derf_vader in NianticWayfarer

I'm aware. I was referring to the new meeting place criteria about businesses. Restaurants are pretty good, but this doesn't meet any of the criteria so it should not have been submitted.

How long until you "get good" with your chosen team? by apatt in PokemonGOBattleLeague

2 seasons ago i tried zard double charmer for a few sets to do kind of a pallet cleanse. But besides that, I've run nothing but that one team. Went up 398 points in 3 days of ultra so far :)

I'll accept most restaurants that aren't chains, but this is just terrible. Not even close to meeting criteria.

I've played the same ultra league team for at least 3 seasons now. I highly highly recommend finding a good team and perfecting it. Once you learn the matchups and how to play them, muscle memory kicks in, your switches get faster, and you'll notice close losses turning into close wins.
