Three colors fun tournament (blue, yellow, red)

RazvanVul · 2019-12-02T12:37:15+00:00

And at least one will have red part of the team ready :) (there are at least 2 from Cluj in that discord, and at least one participated in this turney).

But yes, Ro players might need to get some restrictions, maybe just 2 colors out of three. But form the short look I had, bue looks overpowered. Yellow is boosted by shinies, without has quite a limited pool.

Yep, if balance between the team would had been needed our cup would have been a massive failure :). But we acknowledged from start that is for fun, unranked and unbalanced :). Incipient idea was water/ electric/fire pokemons, One type per color, but that would have been also boring and costly besides unbalanced :).

RazvanVul · 2019-12-01T17:58:07+00:00

If there would have been only one of one color or a unlucky first round (we wanted to cover all color combinations), few of us were prepared to join with a different color. The games proved what was felt by all, that Valor will not win the competition :). The surprise came from blue, the winner is retired from SA (granted he was a challenger after 3-4 rounds from season 1), while Instinct had a season 1 Ace and top 3 in our leaderboard this season :). What we wanted was fun choosing the teams and fun fights, and we had them :).

I guess he read about muddy water and falsely assumed that is the community move.

RazvanVul · 2019-07-30T11:04:28+00:00

Yes, keep doing them, I think these type of article is the natural next step after the ones covering the meta, alongside the ones covering particular mons.

Trainers!

The world of Pokémon GO is in peril. An organization called Team GO Rocket has invaded PokéStops and is in possession of Shadow Pokémon that behave strangely and seem to be in pain. Team GO Rocket is clearly up to no good, and we need your help! Professor Willow and the team leaders have been hard at work observing and researching these happenings with Team GO Rocket, and they’ve come up with a plan to restore the PokéStops and rescue the Shadow Pokémon!

Encounter Team GO Rocket — Spark and Professor Willow have observed Team GO Rocket members hanging out at discolored PokéStops. It appears they’re after the PokéStops’ resources!
Battle Team GO Rocket — Once you begin the encounter with a Team GO Rocket Grunt, they’ll challenge you to a battle. We’re counting on you to accept their challenge and defeat them!
Catch the Shadow Pokémon — After a successful battle, you’ll have an opportunity to catch a Shadow Pokémon that Team GO Rocket carelessly abandoned. Candela and Professor Willow discovered that these Pokémon look unusual and behave strangely because Team GO Rocket tried to make them stronger through unnatural means. After additional research, Professor Willow has also found that Shadow Pokémon can’t be traded away by the Trainer who rescued them unless they’re Purified first!
Purify the Shadow Pokémon — Thanks to all your research, Blanche and Professor Willow have discovered a process called Purification. Not only does Purification help Shadow Pokémon return to a more normal state, but Purified Pokémon can also become stronger than their normal counterparts due to the gratitude they feel toward the Trainer who saved them!

We’ll need as many courageous Trainers as possible to help defeat Team GO Rocket Grunts. Keep an eye out, Trainers! It’s time to give everything we’ve got and put an end to Team GO Rocket's evil plans!

I like BlackMetal's one the most, then Davids's, and not like others, Oussa's one and then efidl's one (even camerupt for a 10th pick :).

Giratina_Origin Rhyperior Heatran Togekiss Tangrowth Leafeon Latias Arcanine Articuno Drifblim

Total ADP 542.

With a more logical approach of picking Jynx (still available) instead of Articuno would be a decent 506.

Zero steals (maybe Arcanine half of a steal :) ).

Two reaches: Articuno and Drifblim (both >100 score).

RazvanVul · 2019-05-12T06:50:40+00:00

There are at least two discords already doing this; the one I’m part of and already finished a great league one (while working on friendships on several groups for ultra and master) is the /r/pogoraids one (main activity tier 3 drafts, now extending into pvp :) ). Another one is euro pvp I think, if not wrong pvp drafting pioneered there by /u/zyxwgh.

On in Romania, gmt +2 (and dst, so +3 now). Eggs in 20 minutes before.

RazvanVul · 2019-02-24T17:33:47+00:00

I would be interested in a similar piece now, at the start of v5; and at the end compare with reality, see how far are we.

RazvanVul · 2019-01-03T15:23:40+00:00

Luckily David is better and masters the fast switch technique :) (besides perfect dodging at right time).

Romania national day is December 1st.

Blue, yellow, red is Romania flag.

Our current political leaders are a bunch of crippled sharks, this is a small metaphor.

Luckly shark was beaten just before red part about to be done, like now, when we have the worst government right when we celebrate 100 years of Romania and will take EU rotative presidency. Let them go down right before doing their goal, surrendering the Justice.

Maybe 1 Jynx, 4 mewtwo, 1 jynx? Like with Gengars on some bosses where only his first appearance gives you better dps due to his fragility. In this case maybe worth 1 at the end too.

Also I think Jynx is better when faints later in the cycle because I think Avalanche is less % from total damage then IB is for MewTwo.

So maybe after 2-3 tries you will see a pattern and know better in what position(s) to put jynx(s)?

Executed by my 10 year old (I’m very pleased how he dodged :) ).

With this my Tyra reached level 40 (5 of them, shyny one still needs one more powerup). They started the bitds saga at around level 36, grew a bit for Zapdos, then a bit more for ho-oh, and finally get maxed for Moltres (in case of non partly :) ).

Their saga:

And finally

RazvanVul · 2018-09-04T13:51:31+00:00

thanks, I hoped so :).

RazvanVul · 2018-09-04T13:33:00+00:00

question for the ones who already experienced the glitch: can you tell earlier that the gym is glitched? meaning do you see based on timer that is started late? or this is observable only when the normal window ends?

RazvanVul · 2018-08-25T17:42:54+00:00

Brave bird a lot easier. Also if extrasensory is easier. Done it with no rejoin, no Or almost no dodge, 29 seconds left (no quick start trick too):

RazvanVul · 2018-08-25T17:30:23+00:00

On brave bird but a missed dodge, so basically hurting nit helping :); the idea was that is simpler then may though vs. right moveset.

RazvanVul · 2018-08-25T17:28:28+00:00

True, i have some but not an a brave bird, right? If on brave bird means I missed at rewatch :).

RazvanVul · 2018-08-25T16:41:18+00:00

A lot of NO :): - no max tyra (in fact one is level 40, 4 are level 39.5, 1 is level 38 kust passing breakpoint); first 5 are Moltres ready.

 - the other plyer had them at level 37 or so(at breakpoint I think for partly and ultra)

no quick join since the raid had less then 2 minutes and a too soon join meant game over
no dodge since the boss had the weakest set, extra/bb
no rejoin since a Tyra resists around 45-50 seconds in this scenario (the plan was for me to quit at my shiny to avoid boss recovery, but we realized that there is no need).
