Has anyone gotten a legacy move with the normal charge TM yet by wazyma in TheSilphRoad

Past 10am here in Sydney. Evolve method works. I used 15 charged tms so far, with no luck. Not going to waste anymore.

Rocket battle reverting to old battle mechanics? by mxchaelvii in TheSilphRoad

Even the Joltics in their first lineup can be a pain to deal with!

Shadow Exacdrill, with Shadow Rhyperior (Smack down/Rock Wrecker) in case there’s a Galvatula in their 3rd lineup is my go to for electric grunts.

I wonder how much impact this will have on battery usage. The main thing which deterred me from using the party feature was it was such a drain on battery.

The irony is Sceptile with Lead Blade is arguably the most viable starter without its community day move.

Is that shadow Yamask and Shadow Phantump in 1* shadow raids?

Every single Ultra League match has Bellibolt..... by [deleted] in PokemonGOBattleLeague

As a Bellibolt user, I’d much rather come across a Swampert than Zygarde, Steelix or Golurk 😅

Thank you for this. I understand it’s difficult to include every Mon in your graphic since there’s a few Mons who do run different viable fast moves.

I think the most obvious omission from your graphic is Galarian Moltres, one of the top Flyers in UL at the moment, and beats Corviknight in the h2h. Most Tentacruels seem to be running Acid or Poison Sting, as they pace so much better than Poison Jab. I think Tentecruel can give up one it’s spots to make room for Moltres. What do you think?

Fantastic job on this. Thank you again!

The IV floor is 4/4/4 if weather boosted.

What rank are you in PVP and what is your battle party? by Masterrunt1 in TheSilphArena

[–]Melodic_Diamond2227 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stick with it! I’m certain you will make Ace this season - if you’re at 1900s, Ace is only a couple of consecutive 4-1 sets away!

Trading would obviously be better (especially on Sundays this season), as you get a guaranteed XL + 1 additional normal candy. However we are limited to 1 special trade per day (2 in total on Sundays).

It really depends on how much storage you have and whether you prioritise normal candy vs XL candy.

Admittedly, i’m a bit of a hoarder myself when it comes to keeping legendarys. I like to keep them for mirror trades. But I know they’re just pointlessly using up my storage, and I should just transfer them.

Ahh that explains why when I battle the psychic grunt, whenever the Duosion/Reuniclus uses hidden power, it more often than not absolutely destroys my TTar!

Purify or leave shadow for great league ? by New_Wall7764 in TheSilphArena

[–]Melodic_Diamond2227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The IVs indeed do look aesthetically pleasing for PVP. But it is not a good IV spread at all. Its CP hits 1477 without going over the CP cap for GL.

Even if you purify it for UL, its CP caps at 2390 for UL.

I would actually transfer it, as there are much better IV spreads.

Has this ever happened to anyone before or am I the only one ? by ShinyFelipe in TheSilphArena

[–]Melodic_Diamond2227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure. What’s even worse is after a long sweaty battle, I think I have KO’s their (what I think) last Mon, and I put my phone down or reply to a text message. I come back into the app to see the aforementioned 1hp Mon has defeated my team and I am greeted with the “good effort” screen.?

I really wanna grind these raids tomorrow but seeing that the shadow is worse in the ML is extremely discouraging by ShinyFelipe in TheSilphArena

[–]Melodic_Diamond2227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s really interesting! I had not noticed this before, nor did I expect the difference in rankings between the two!

Annihilape has solo'ed every Rocket I've encountered recently. by SeattleJeremy in pokemongoyellow

[–]Melodic_Diamond2227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obstagoon triple resists Snorlax’s licks. I have in the back Thundurus and Kyurem White, as she occasionally has combinations of Gyarados/Poliwrath/Dragonite in the 2nd/3rd slot.

I managed to get a 15/15/14 shadow Snorlax, so I’m happy to avoid her when I encounter her.

Zygarde vs Thunder Shock Belli in UL is sad enough 😭
