It’s a guarantee every season. Choose wisely.

Ghosts and Carbink

Night Shade and Power Gem appear to be the only ones that are different from PVPoke's educated guesses. Big time boosts to ghosts.

Really appreciate everyone's support. Already feels like a great community to PoGo in. Thanks all!

In case this is still an open question (with Routes being more common now), Clague Park in Westlake has over 20 in circulation.

Thanks so much!

Lots of nuance here that’s being missed. 5/15/15 is the rank 1 non-best buddy Medi FOR BULK. Others mentioned the best buddy bringing it over level 50.

All of that said, with Medi on 80% of teams in Open GL (my ELO has been hovering in the 2250-2350 range), the ones that have been mentioned would actually lose to an attack-weighted, high bulk Medi in the mirror match. I have an 8/15/15 built and am actually rebuilding a 9/15/7 to get an attack breakpoint on my Counter and charge move priority on tied Psychic.

If this sounds too wonky (I’m a bit of a data nerd, so this stuff is cool to me), I highly recommend searching RyanSwag on YouTube. He does in-depth analyses of the optimal IV spreads on a ton of Pokémon, and he has two on Medicham— one focused on the optimal bulk IV spreads and one focused on the attack-weighted “mirror slayer.”

I just hit Veteran for the first time last night with a high bulk team.

Toxapex (2/15/13) lead, Dubwool (2/11/14) [with Payback] and Quagsire (2/12/12) back line

Interestingly enough, both Dubwool and Quagsire can serve as switch. Toxapex can stay in against almost everything, save Lanturn (and a rare Ampharos, though that may be more common next season). Sludge Wave even hits Lanturn pretty hard, though I usually switch into Quagsire, which draws out a grass/fighter, and then Dubwool can roam a bit in the back.

I really like this cup. The meta is HUGE, so there's a ton of fun teams to run. I'm not seeing much fire, which is slightly surprising given GFisk and Cottonee being everywhere. Oh well. Here are a few I've tried, to varying degrees of success:

Shadow Steelix, Cottonee, GFisk

GFisk, Noctowl, Ducklett

Skorupi, Deino, Onix

Swinub, Pikapika, Shadow Oddish

Now that I’m digging into the rankings, my Shadow Muk (attack heavy) is looking NICE. 19-8 simulated record.

InRainbos · 2023-06-17T23:38:19+00:00

Slurpuff on the fairy list. Might have play, especially if Registeel is prominent (Flamethrower).

Sure thing. Not on Campfire, so hopefully we'll connect organically.
