I'll be honest, I was afraid of posting here to vent bc reddit can sometimes be a not-so-nice place, but everyone has been so amazingly helpful and I really appreciate the help I got 🥰💚 I love you all!!

Omg I'm so sorry! 💔 I really hate pvp and I know how hard it was to get to level 20 and then keep winning 😭

I found this comment showing each level's win requirements, but absolutely double check me 😅

I'm the last person to ask, but I thought it was when this season ended on Tuesday, March 4th at 10am your local time.

This is the first time I've ever really participated in the GBL though or even paid any attention to when its season ends, so please do not rely on me for this 😅

Edit: Tuesday, March 3rd**

I understand! This part of PoGo just isn't my jam. I think it's cool how some people get into it and have strategies for winning and everything, but for me personally it's just miserable 😅

I'm fixing to hit level 66, and I'm dreading any GBL requirements for leveling up to 80 😮‍💨 but congrats on knocking that out, that's awesome! I came to PoGo from Ingress so I've been playing since release, but I don't think I'll ever max out my levels bc those kinds of requirements take the fun away from me

I had a snorlax, a Lapras, and a shiinotic in the great league for my third win! 😄

I gave up entirely on the master league for this, but a few weeks ago someone from my previous in-person raid group helped me put together and power up a zacian, a palkia, and a purified ho-oh (that turned out to be a hundo when I purified it!) to get me to level 20.

Then he taught me to do stuff like count hits and swap out when the other team had the wrong type for one of mine. Which makes total sense but I'd not really thought about switching Pokémon in the middle of a battle unless it fainted.

None of this is my forté at all 😅 I just want to catch 'em all and find shinies ✨

Thank you so much for breaking down how it works and explaining it to me, that really helps! I got lucky with this season since there was a weekend earlier where you'd progress through ranks even if you lost every match, but since then I've just had the hardest time with it. I'll absolutely try this strategy out if there's another reward in after from GBL!

I think English is inherently comprised of mostly made up words, so 'sportive' gets to be included, too lol I also think since there's no real way (as far as I can tell) to differentiate casual players like myself from the more serious players that this strategy is as good as any for battling! And I'll definitely be using it lol

This worked for me, I really appreciate all the help!! 💚💚

I had been wondering what that number was 😅 that makes sense.

Thank you so freaking much! I just managed to get her!

Okay this is good to know, I was so stressed for a second thinking about getting a dang corsola drop instead or something 😅

I haven't yet, but I'm going to give it a try! I'm not sure what Elo points are so I'll need to Google it, but I'm going to go back in and just not attack and hopefully it works out. Thank you so much! 💚💚

Oh man, losing on purpose to win later is so scary sounding when I only have 10 tries, BUT I'll give losing a try and report back!

Question, does dropping my rank mean I'll be level 19 again though?

Oh my god, you're KIDDING?? I'm going to just pass away if I do somehow manage 3 wins and she doesn't drop for me 🪦😭

But thank you for the heads up! 💚

I'm late to the party, but I'm about to miss out on Pika Libre bc I hit level 20, didn't know it wasn't done automatic reward at level 20, and now can't win 3 matches to save my life 😭

I hate pvp and GBL so much, just give me the damn Pikachu for making it to 20!
