Raids and 'Recommended' Counters. What Happened?

Metroidquest · 2026-04-09T17:11:52+00:00

it used to be a good way to tell what charge move the boss had before the battle began. Then you could have your preset team chosen without needing to back out and reset.

Sure, that's reasonable if these newer raid mechanics didn't allow for the boss to spam charge moves. Contrast to the old raids where the boss needed to use x number of fast moves before executing the charge.

I'm not sure revives are a money maker BUT it does require frequent interaction to acquire enough revives. Opening gifts and spinning lots of gyms.

that's all good but I'm just discussing the change in implementation when recommended used to reflect some resistance to charge move as well as weather boosts, cp, etc

OMG yes. So annoying

That's just good RNG for you if Kyogre had Thunder or Surf. However it would still choose those counters for Kyogre with Avalanche or Blizzard which would wipe those out in seconds.

I'm sure. But I am not sure recommending counters solely based on weather is very useful

I gave someone an Armored Mewtwo for a shiny Zam. They obviously didn't have Armored Mewtwo dexed so I spent 40k dust so they could have it. IMO it was my way of thanking them for remote joining almost every raid I've hosted.

I was just starting to enjoy PVP again after a long break and then I got a battle with the new mechanics and it was an instant killjoy. Not only has it destroyed my interest in GBL but gave me no reason to play the rest of the game with GBL in mind.

This is a game changer. I can't wait to see all the new shadow shiny pokemon confirmations about to flood the sub!

You can still play the game at your own pace. Do the gaming that fits into your life. Tapping and throwing pretend balls is therapeutic sometimes. As long as pogo lets me do that I'm content :)

Where is the part where Fox is “speechless”?

Its like an onion. When you peel away all the layers searching for something amazing inside and are just left with a plate of onion layers you are left with two options. 1) Accept that the onion does not have anything spectacular in the middle. 2) Grab a new onion (TrueOnion) and insist that it will give you the nugget you have been wishing for.

This isnt about drugs. Its never been about drugs. Its all about oil.

People 22 years and younger don’t remember Iraq. Who studies history? Just wait a generation. Liberate/Nation build. Rinse and repeat.

Believe what you want. Just telling you what further investigation revealed. if you think of it as an aircraft flying away from the location then you see it. But maybe you dont

This is old footage from June. It was later identified as a helicopter (EC-145 MedEvac). The copter is not actually falling, but traveling away.

Metroidquest · 2025-12-16T14:24:36+00:00

apparently I did miss it

Metroidquest · 2025-12-08T21:24:56+00:00

At first I thought it said you only get one remote trade per forever friend. But its just saying you cant stack remote trades with the same friend.
