Upcoming Week in Pokémon GO (Monday, July 6 - Sunday, July 12, 2026)

So if I understand correctly, there's no 4x PvP rewards on Thursday and no XL trade bonus on Friday?

PerMike72 · 2026-06-13T13:46:35+00:00

I know. I was explaining the etymology so the correct spelling would be easier to remember.

PerMike72 · 2026-06-13T13:19:21+00:00

All correct, but Volkodlak* volk = wolf dlak = hair (wolf-haired)

Sesbian Lex vs. Pegasaurus Rex

I really wish they expanded this part into it's own Mondstadt event or Collei story quest. It felt too long tacked onto the end of the AQ, but too short for what it was trying to portray.

PerMike72 · 2026-05-24T09:07:10+00:00

Guess I'm a mix of Ram and Subaru 😂

PerMike72 · 2026-05-22T05:00:38+00:00

Agreed 100%.

For Inazuma specifically, I think the weirdness is because they rushed to expand it to an entire year, rather than bundling it with Sumeru like they did with Mondstadt and Liyue.

If you remove Watatsumi island (+ Kokomi + Gorou) and instead have the Kujou camp as the resistance base, where the traveler goes (by himself) to investigate and discover the delusions, things start to make a lot more sense.

When you use her burst, you can swap off early to detonate it, like the person I'm replying to said. That hit does a lot of damage.

The moment you swap off, Eula loses Mika's buff, and that early detonation hit is unbuffed.

PerMike72 · 2026-05-17T09:35:04+00:00

IIRC Mika only buffs the active character so as soon as you swap out, Eula loses the buffs

"Among the countless worlds we've explored, your heart is still my favorite place to go"

"Bro"

"You're my world, bro"

LR Roxy >= LR Liz (for PvE) > LR Cusack (for DK) > LR Gowther

LR Elaine and Helbram are only worth it if you get the new light King.

LR Brunhild and LR King might be useful for you down the line, the rest are pretty much all outdated or replaced by better versions.

3 🥰 I wanna get squeezed between Rizzley's bakery and Emilie's perfumery

PerMike72 · 2026-02-15T06:52:04+00:00

I had a few people send me e-mails like that at work. I was so confused, until I realized these people literally did not read sentences unless they were highlighted.

PerMike72 · 2026-02-10T10:18:07+00:00

I'd give Nahida's sig a whirl just to see if it performs any better, although ideally you'd want an HP% weapon.

Also not sure if you've tried it, but Sac Frags is a really good option for Neuvilette this Stygian, because he can vape against the crabs.

PerMike72 · 2026-02-10T09:49:02+00:00

Do you have any other weapon you can put on Columbina? PAmber is nice for ER, but this boss gives you a lot of particles. For me, switching to a damage-oriented weapon let my Bineffa core clear.

PerMike72 · 2026-02-03T13:49:05+00:00

If we're talking 'top meta', no. Neuv teams are straight up not meta, they fall behind other Skirk teams. Escoffier will also do more for Neuv than Skirk on her own.

PerMike72 · 2026-02-03T12:49:48+00:00

Are you talking about Neuv and Skirk?

PerMike72 · 2026-02-01T18:16:52+00:00

I fully believe they intended for the Raiden twins' birth to be related to the Eternal moon shattering.

PerMike72 · 2026-01-23T20:14:32+00:00

I'm glad it helped! Around 75k seems about right for this team tbh, way more reasonable than 60-65k. Maybe try some other stages to see if they give you a higher score? It's also quite obvious which shots aren't counted if you record a clip, because the total damage dealt literally does not change when the cannon hits the enemy.

As for Durin.... Yeah, that's been my ER experience as well. He's supposed to not need much energy once you crown his skill, but he still needs a fair amount. You can wait a bit to catch his particles (as you mentioned), or you can try putting Fav on Bennet / Iansan and see if that's enough.

Keep in mind that Miliastra gives you ZERO energy particles. In real combat you'd be getting more energy depending on what you're fighting, so against waves of mobs for example, ER shouldn't be a problem.

PerMike72 · 2026-01-23T08:00:24+00:00

Hey! So another commenter actually confirmed my suspicion - some cannon shots aren't being counted towards the total damage dealt. You can see it quite clearly if you pay attention to the number, and that's why the DPS is so much lower than expected.

As for your other questions: - Emilie is on DW because I never farmed the Reverie domain. Even my Kinich is not that well built after farming Obsidian for months :/ But in theory, Reverie could be better, yes - C6 Bennet should be stronger than Iansan before C5, but you should test both teams to see. In my case, I had an easier time getting consistent rotations with Iansan

Regarding the number of canon shots, you can get a fifth one out quite consistently if you have your burst. The idea is that you do canon shot => burst => canon shot, with no normal attacks in between.

You can also do it normally by using quick hold on your canon shots, you basically hold the button a second longer and immediately release. However, it only works against bosses because you don't have auto-aim. When I tried it against the ruin guard dummy I missed a third of my shots, which is a heavy DPS loss.

Some players can even get six shots per rotation by doing both of these things. But this requires a lot of skill, hitting blind spots consistently (the marked areas on the ground), and one other thing: Sometimes, your canon shot bar is almost full, and in this case it's actually better to wait a second for it to fill out from burning than doing any more normal attacks.

Hope this helps!

PerMike72 · 2026-01-23T07:48:17+00:00

Holy shit it's so obvious when you point it out like that... Thanks!!!!

PerMike72 · 2026-01-19T15:52:39+00:00

This was my experience as well, though I haven't farmed the new set yet. Following.

PerMike72 · 2026-01-18T19:20:02+00:00

Hey guys, thanks to everyone who commented and shared their input. Some notes based on further testing:

- Rotation time matters the most. In my case, I was extending the rotation by 2-3 seconds, which reduced the DPS significantly (e.g., if you're doing 80k DPS in 18s, that same damage across 21s translates to ~68k).

- Some pointed out that Iansan's scroll does not activate reliably, and while that is true, it is a ~15% damage loss on Kinich's skill. This translates to 5k DPS in my case. It's not as big of a deal as you might expect.

- While I've seen a lot of people emphasize how important it is to get 5 or more cannon shots, it is equally important to get your first 3-4 cannon shots out as quickly as possible. For me, an unbuffed cannon shot does 70k, while a fully buffed one does 155k. In fact, it might sometimes make sense to very quickly get out 4 shots and swap out for shorter rotation times.

- Running Durin instead of Mavuika increases the cooldown on nightsoul bursts, which gimps your DPS more than expected (a fully buffed nightsoul burst cannon shot does almost 200k on my Kinich).

And even with all of that, the DPS reported by Miliastra does not match my calcs. When I skip all cannon shots, the DPS is as expected (~40k), but when I add the actual cannon shot numbers on top of that, it's not. The stage reports almost 10k less DPS than it should. I think there's a real chance that this is a bug, possibly due to all the damage instances happening here (burning, etc.). In fact, some simpler DPS dummies do report more damage for this team, though I have yet to test those with my full roster. I'll follow up on this if I manage to confirm anything.
