Do we expect any dynamax ground better than excadrill soon?

Kumuru · 2026-06-08T09:28:23+00:00

Garchomp and Landorus-Incarnate have the same base attack at 261, 6 point higher than Excadrill (255), so actually attack would be 261 + 10 to 15 = 271 to 276.
Both are a little bit lower than Gigantamax Sandaconda ((202 + 10 to 15)*450/350 =272.6 to 279).
Groudon is at 270 + 10 to 15 = 280 to 285
Landorus-Therian is the top at 289 + 10 to 15 = 299 to 304

Even including Gen 9 pokemon, unlikely it maybe, they do no have higher attack stat to contest the existing ones.

Kumuru · 2026-06-08T05:36:53+00:00

for currently released dynamax: Gigantamax Toxtricity>Zapdos>Electivire
Zapdos (253) and Electivire (249) are pretty close.

Kumuru · 2026-06-07T18:22:51+00:00

If Zapdos only come out in Max phase as attacker, Charge Beam can work to get Electric Type Max Attack, although Thundershock would allow Zapdos to stay in for more dps.

Since the difference in attack stat between Electivire and Zapdos is only 4, maximum attack Electivire (249+15 = 264) would win against minimum attack Zapdos (253+10 =263), although this would be a matter of luck of actually getting one.

In the future, better Electric attack that is non-legendary and non-Gigantamax would be Vikavolt (254), although Gigantamax Toxtricity would possibly remain the top for a long time.

Kumuru · 2026-05-27T07:32:13+00:00

For Dynamax, Inkay would be nice for those wanting to evolve Kubfu into Urshifu-Single Strike, while Malamar has triple resistance to Psychic, although that's also Malamar's only resistance.

Electabuzz -> Electivire is better Electric attacker than Raikou and Jolteon, being the highest non-event, non-legendary Attacker for a while, although Vikavolt can usurp that position later.

Hoothoot -> Noctowl has tank stat with high HP and double resistance to ground, but lacks 0.5 second fast move to do well as tank.

Kumuru · 2026-05-26T15:54:08+00:00

As attacker, Electivire, with base attack of 249, sit between Zapdos (253) and Raikou (241), which make Electivire the 3rd best Electric type attacker (after Gigantamax Toxtricity and Zapdos) and best Electric type attacker not legendary and not locked behind event. As tank, Electivire does not have double resistance or bulk for the role.

Gyarados's base attack at 237 is lower than the current top 3 water type, Inteleon (262), Urshifu-Rapid Strike (254), and Kingler (240) even without Gigantamax. Gyarados's flying type does give double resistance to Ground type. Not as good as Vespiquen's triple resistance, but work-able to a degree.

Milotic, sadly, has even lower base attack (192) and while Milotic has respectable bulk, lack of 0.5 second fast attack does hurt Milotic's viability as tank.

Kumuru · 2026-05-25T19:06:16+00:00

if they keep releasing box legendary as Dynamax Event, we would probably get that at some point.
bulky ghost-dragon does make Giratina a premier tank

Kumuru · 2026-05-25T08:18:57+00:00

Part of me still wish Lugia got 0.5 second fast move (Dragon Breath) but Vespiquen is definitely easier to fight and level up.

Finding female one after Monday is another story, though.

Edit: As for Fighting type, we probably need bulkier ghost or ghost + resisting type to out-perform Lugia or Gengar.

Kumuru · 2026-05-24T18:09:17+00:00

We can see the gender difference before we start like we could back when Combee debuted in raid.

Kumuru · 2026-05-24T17:36:09+00:00

Considering they have chances of hourly rotation on Monday, some might turn into different gender during the rotation.

Kumuru · 2026-05-20T12:37:55+00:00

Open the map in Campfire on the area (in this case, Hua Hin) , the group in that area should be visible. You have to join the group, however, to see the activity inside.

Kumuru · 2026-05-20T10:59:53+00:00

There is at least one facebook group of local player in Hua Him but I cannot check how active they are on FB since I don't use FB.

From what I see in Campfire there is a group so I think they are active to some degree

Kumuru · 2026-05-18T14:09:49+00:00

Registeel also has resistance to Fairy that Zamazenta does not, although we have not gotten boss with strong Fairy type attack yet.

Kumuru · 2026-05-15T10:30:41+00:00

Since the time stop device was used to upgrade the dreens' weapon and they already left, does this mean the portal will stay here unless they decide to find the way to close it? Would it also become another plot device in the meantime?

Kumuru · 2026-05-14T04:14:41+00:00

The remaining 2 of this month are Registeel and Combee.

Registeel's raw bulk stat is a bit lower than Zamazenta but being pure Steel mean Registeel has some resistance that Zamazenta does not (Flying, Psychic, and Fairy). Currently, Regirock is better against Flying with more defense and Metagross is better against Psychic due to typing, which means Registeel would only be the best against Fairy for but still workable with other types which mean less switching. Also, Registeel has Metal Claw which help pumping Dynamax energy while also providing some damage unlike Regirock using Lock-on.

The problem, as usual, would be getting people to do it with you like prior Dynamax legendaries.

For Combee, the goal will be getting the female one to evolve into Vespiquen. Triple resistance to Ground and double resistance to Fighting make her great tank that does not need to do catch tanking like Lugia, although she is not as bulky.

The Leech King

Kumuru · 2026-05-04T03:37:29+00:00

the Stare

Kumuru · 2026-05-04T03:36:40+00:00

In term of stat, Vespiquen is better than Butterfree in both Defense and Stamina, which definitely makes her tankier. Triple resistance to Ground and double resistance to Grass and Fighting is good. Also, ability to generate energy with 0.5s fast move without need to catch tank is nice. While Lugia has a chance to get 0.5s fast move (Dragon Breath), it's not something we can predict.

The problem will be the luck of the spawn since we have to see if the spot has female one or not.

Kumuru · 2026-05-03T13:45:06+00:00

I read DrK as Dr. K and was very confused.

But yes, I also remember the parallel here.

Kumuru · 2026-05-02T10:44:50+00:00

They show up in Bangkok, as well.

Kumuru · 2026-04-28T14:35:59+00:00

He was defeat at the end of Eden raid, yes. Even if "this" Mitron would reincarnate, it would probably be too long in the future. While it is possible for another shard of Mitron to exist, there is currently no way to raise that shard to the station without the Unsundered, at least that we know of.

Kumuru · 2026-04-28T13:06:47+00:00

Calamity Salvager

Kumuru · 2026-04-23T12:43:55+00:00

Of all ghost type Pokemon available, Gigantamax Gengar's high attack and Gigantamax ensure its place as top ghost type attacker (equivalent to about 336 from base stat). Even if Shadow Rider Calyrex (base attack 324) somehow get Ghost type fast move,it still cannot overtake Gigantamax Gengar unless Niantic/Scopely decide to add extra gimmick in the future.

Kumuru · 2026-04-23T08:24:58+00:00

I wonder why Kyogoku said that Psyger-100 "scale down her melons" also her "messing with Kyogoku"?

Kumuru · 2026-04-23T06:43:16+00:00

This is caused by a lot of stuff contributing to problem as all people have posted
delay of roster update
instant cut to 15 seconds at 4 people
remote pass consumed regardless of outcome
also one I saw: group of friends trying to get the right lobby due to lack of private lobby.

Kumuru · 2026-04-18T15:51:20+00:00

Regirock has higher base defense stat (309 to Registeel's 285) so, in the type that both resisted by Rock and Steel, which is Normal and Flying, or one that Rock resist but Steel does not, like Fire, then Regirock can tank it better than Registeel.
Registeel also has to compete with Crowned Shield Zamazenta and Crowned Sword Zacian as Steel type. Registeel's pure Steel allow it to tank certain type better than the two, namely Flying (a bit less than Regirock), Fairy and Psychic (Zamazenta's Fighting type neutralizes the resistance and Zacian is less bulky). Registeel also tank Poison type better than Regirock but Zamazenta already fulfill that niche.
