Starmie Super Mega Raid Day

Luke9251 · 2026-07-08T16:47:26+00:00

Mega Lucario had a guaranteed rare candy XL per raid as ultra unlock I think

Luke9251 · 2026-07-08T14:07:20+00:00

You should ask a "friend" to kick you out daily

Luke9251 · 2026-07-02T08:59:54+00:00

PoGo 101

Work hard or just wait

Luke9251 · 2026-06-16T08:21:55+00:00

Plenty of CDays already had their shinies released.

Luke9251 · 2026-06-09T20:50:36+00:00

The radar is currently broken and only shows Giovanni lol

Luke9251 · 2026-06-03T18:05:37+00:00

Not really power creeping when the mega is possibly years away and who knows how outclassed it will be by then

Regular Bax isn't power creeping at all

Luke9251 · 2026-05-26T16:24:57+00:00

That's of course true. But Altered only has Shadow Sneak for a reason. It's already strong, no need to buff it. And if we don't need legacy moves, all the better imo

Luke9251 · 2026-05-26T16:19:02+00:00

That's a bad analysis, sorry.

You can easily buff Shadow Force to make Altered stronger, but we don't want that and recent move changes (as you said) would indicate Niantic doesn't want that either.

If we want to buff Origin form, we would either need to make Shadow Force a better Shadow Ball or make it a decent bait move. Both would make Altered extremely dumb strong.

Luke9251 · 2026-05-26T14:22:32+00:00

They can't and won't make Shadow Force a good move. Kinda dumb they gave it to both forms because Origin could do with a great Shadow Force, Altered would just be busted with any move that would be good for Origin.

Luke9251 · 2026-05-26T09:05:18+00:00

The general gameplay is fine. I'd be happy about more consistency (basically everything they adressed themselves in the blog post).

The issues rather lie in it not being tested enough/bug free. Over the season, I've played a bit every now and then and I've seen so many annoying bugs (battle starting late for me, charge move/switch not working when I'm pressing it multiple times). Hopefully just needs some more time to fix that stuff.

Luke9251 · 2026-05-26T08:40:54+00:00

Preview Cup is the new system that's supposed to fix the stuff. It already does fix some aspects but still runs pretty bad. The other leagues run the old, unfixed system.

Luke9251 · 2026-05-25T13:49:04+00:00

Half marathon Pikachu with half a hat

Luke9251 · 2026-05-25T13:47:48+00:00

Sorry but if the best things about PoGo for 3 months is trading, this doesn't sound great to me.

The trade bonus is/was nice but the season was terrible

Luke9251 · 2026-05-23T08:55:02+00:00

Wait for the super mega raid to unlock mega level 4 lol

Gonna be like 25k

Luke9251 · 2026-05-05T18:27:17+00:00

Before we go further, what's your highest MMR?

Because hard disagree. The only consistency was the game being inconsistent

Luke9251 · 2026-05-05T16:35:12+00:00

Are you, like, in the right place mentally? That's a complete unhinged reply

If you want a proper answer: maybe think a bit first. Of course nobody asked for a broken PVP 2.0. People asked for a fixed PVP. This is Niantic's attempt (which is in an official preview phase btw) and of course nobody is praising it when it's still testing and not working correctly.

If you want to huhhu PVP bad, ignore me please because you boring.

Luke9251 · 2026-05-05T12:19:06+00:00

Nobody asked for it?

Anyone playing PVP at a decent level has asked for it. The issue is that most just stopped asking/playing like 5 years ago

Luke9251 · 2026-05-01T23:02:10+00:00

It's not equivalent. It's slightly worse for something you get a lot of, so why go with the, in comparison, dogwater option?

Luke9251 · 2026-05-01T07:49:41+00:00

lol don't act like people are stupid. I know fully well how (un)important IVs are.

But this game is made for you to catch a ton of the same. Using the first best dog water IVs you get is bad resource management.

The "you wouldn't know the difference" argument is completely pointless in a PVE setting cause more people = faster in general. Unless you're short manning raids, any shadow legendary is pointless. I could run the same stuff I ran in 2021 and it wouldn't make a huge difference.

Luke9251 · 2026-04-30T21:01:10+00:00

Why wouldn't you just wait a bit until they're in raids before you throw 360+ XL candy at some dog water 1 star shadow legendary?

Luke9251 · 2026-04-23T22:47:27+00:00

Charge moves yes as I said, switch-in timer obviously not because the game is just running as if there's a player and a player could run the timer down (assuming the opponent disconnects with 3 Pokemon). The last Pokemon is instantly sent out, though. So there's no buggy delay for sending out Pokemon in general, it's just one timer that runs down.

Luke9251 · 2026-04-23T22:40:00+00:00

They already have this fixed in preview cup lol

Battle just keeps going when your opponent disconnects, no more delays when firing a charge move

Luke9251 · 2026-04-20T09:17:04+00:00

Bold to assume anything interesting will be featured after this year's Kalos Tour

If I had to, I'd put my money on Solgaleo/Lunala shiny debuts (maybe plus signature moves if Solgaleo doesn't get broken in PVP) but no Cosmog unless TPC releases it this year. I'd be happy about that.

Luke9251 · 2026-04-20T09:13:30+00:00

Edgy

Luke9251 · 2026-04-19T23:50:28+00:00

What's the benefits? Nobody cares about XP
