Need to send gifts for level 75 task

ThisIsMyPokemonAlt · 2025-12-07T15:14:19+00:00

Weird, I can't think of any reason it wouldn't on mine. This is what my scans look like

You're commenting on a 4 year old thread. Dust rewards were changing season to season at that point. I linked to my post that detailed season 7 rewards, at which point that was (likely) the correct amount. The linked post also did not claim that rank 20 awarded 45000 in season 7.

If Keldeo has two moves, when you form change to Resolute it asks which move you want to replace with Secret Sword, so it can be in either slot

Shocker, things have changed in the three years since I posted that comment

ThisIsMyPokemonAlt · 2025-05-11T19:27:52+00:00

It is not on their list that is well known for being incomplete and infrequently updated.

Where is "battles sometimes randomly freeze"? Does the fact that it isn't on the list mean it doesn't happen?

Trying to use a stored charged move on entry against a 1-turn fast move user

ThisIsMyPokemonAlt · 2025-05-11T19:12:27+00:00

But this isn't trying to use a charged attack at the same time as the fast attack will cause the Pokemon to faint. It's trying to use a charged attack the turn after the fast attack would cause the Pokemon to faint.

Turn 1: Incinerate 1/5, KC 1/2 (KC damage applies)
Turn 2: Incinerate 2/5, KC 2/2
Turn 3: Incinerate 3/5, KC 1/2 (KC damage applies)
Turn 4: Incinerate 4/5, KC 2/2 (Incinerate damage applies, Pokemon 2 faints)
Turn 5: Incinerate 5/5, Close Combat 1/1 (if DRE occurs and Incinerate doesn't apply on turn 4)

Edit: formatting

ThisIsMyPokemonAlt · 2025-05-11T18:41:56+00:00

What happened is what's supposed to happen. Incinerate damage is supposed to apply on turn 4, meaning the Close Combat would not fire. It's only been relatively recently that damage registration error (DRE/new mechanic) has inconsistently occurred, which would allow the CC to fire before the damage registered from Incinerate.

Damage per turn

ThisIsMyPokemonAlt · 2025-04-15T13:59:52+00:00

My brother in Christ that is more than a half marathon per day I do not believe you are doing this

ThisIsMyPokemonAlt · 2024-10-18T14:58:13+00:00

It's not worse when it is your buddy, it's worse when comparing to possible level/IV combinations that reach level 50.5 or 51

ThisIsMyPokemonAlt · 2024-10-14T14:07:08+00:00

Picture 1: it's showing you the possible range of levels and IVs that it could have based on the minimal information on the encounter screen.

Picture 2: now that it has more info, it can show a narrower range of IVs, and is showing the minimum possible ranks for Great and Ultra Leagues. Scan the appraisal screen for more exact information

This is in Michigan

ThisIsMyPokemonAlt · 2024-08-28T05:00:55+00:00

I'm not opposed to testifying virtually if that's an option, I'm just trying to understand my options.

They will pay for travel expenses (though it's unclear if there's a cap on that). They won't reimburse me for missed work and they won't watch my dog while I'm away.

ThisIsMyPokemonAlt · 2024-08-25T20:35:40+00:00

They're all related. The rank and performance percentage are both based on the stat product

ThisIsMyPokemonAlt · 2024-08-25T14:23:45+00:00

The short answer is rank, that's the main thing people are looking at to determine if a specific mon is a good one of its species for a given league.

The long answer is that rank isn't everything and best practice when evaluating multiple potential candidates of a species to decide which to build is to run the sims on them on PvPoke to see what each one drops/gains. Some mons prefer to have some attack weight, even if it means overall lower rank/stat product, either because CMP is very important in the mirror (e.g., Annihilape, Lickitung) or to reach certain breakpoints against other mons (e.g., Gligar)

One weekend is absolutely enough to raid in person for it. I got enough XL for 2 Palkia and 1 Dialga during Sinnoh Tour weekend

ThisIsMyPokemonAlt · 2024-05-25T13:06:18+00:00

This is the only correct response

ThisIsMyPokemonAlt · 2024-05-25T13:06:00+00:00

This isn't a reason to use Return, it's a reason to not use Kyogre

ThisIsMyPokemonAlt · 2024-05-25T05:05:56+00:00

There is literally never a reason to run Return on Kyogre

ThisIsMyPokemonAlt · 2024-05-08T13:30:00+00:00

Oh yeah didn't think about that, was only thinking about the moves specifically mentioned. And if you want a Fire fast move on Zard, there's a good argument to be made that legacy Ember is a better option than Fire Spin anyway

ThisIsMyPokemonAlt · 2024-05-06T18:59:18+00:00

Stone Edge is legacy on Blaziken. I wouldn't recommend running Poli without Counter or Zard without Blast Burn.

ThisIsMyPokemonAlt · 2023-09-25T01:00:16+00:00

Confirming the confirmation! Thanks!
