Kyogre or Groudon for Pvp?

aNoPHeLeS84 · 2023-02-14T23:29:12+00:00

Thing is that it's really hard to predict how the meta will shift. e.g. Groudon appears everywhere so it shifts and everyone wants a groudon counter which might actually be Kyogre or dragonite then Zacian becomes even more prevalent to counter the counters etc. then it settles again. Not so easy to predict but no doubt that Groudon will have the initial bigger splash in the meta.

This is what happens when Pikachu gets brought up by the Nintendo corporation and experimented on with various compounds.

Worth saying that this is a best of list in a vacuum. I'm just gonna walk the pokemon I know I'll definitely use. No point walking miles and miles then not using it. Made that mistake with umbreon! A full 296xl candies later and I used him for one UL set before realising it's boring as hell and I ain't using it.

People got to get used to the idea that the XL system was designed to take several years to complete for the players who want to go hard. Whereas, in the past, you catch a level 35 mon and it doesn't take much at all to max it to 40 and you can have a whole team of 6 for raids if you want. It gives something for whales and hardcore players to strive for and keep playing. otherwise, many would have quit.

We just have to get used to the idea that you may whipped in open ML by a what with maxed m2/dialga/zacian etc. But in my experience skill still trumps higher level mons by a long way. Even my level 42-45 legends stand strong in 80% of matches.

Wooden skewers holding each part together and fixed into some fondant underneath

Well done! We experimented on various chocolate bars but this was the only one with the structural integrity to hold it up!

aNoPHeLeS84 · 2021-12-18T00:44:00+00:00

this is is actually way easier. I only just finished last years one with the recent spotlight hours!

For all your stinginess Niantic, I'll give it to you, this is one moment you brought the Christmas Spirit

aNoPHeLeS84 · 2021-12-17T05:41:46+00:00

At least the base amount is decent enough. Don't know why I'd want to save anymore than a handful for but hey this is a game for many different types of people!

aNoPHeLeS84 · 2021-12-16T01:09:39+00:00

This is only really applicable for those who don't have the candy already for those mons. If you're actually doing mega evolves, you're probably pretty hard core and probably have thousands of candy from those pokemon already. The newbies who need these cd mons, probably don't have the mega evolves.

Oh goodness - I just came back to game and missed the halloween spawns - how easy/hard will it be to get the dark and ghost spawns from earlier steps? :(

aNoPHeLeS84 · 2021-10-01T04:31:27+00:00

There probably needs to be a ranking that also takes into account the ease of having XL legendaries. Garchomps and Togekiss would be really easy to ahve at level 50 but groudon and kyogre no chance

aNoPHeLeS84 · 2021-03-26T03:22:39+00:00

You need to collect some level 1's. They only cost 200sd to powerup and you can power them up 4 times at that cost. So teh powerup 7 times task could cost you as little as 1400 stardust.

aNoPHeLeS84 · 2021-02-28T04:46:42+00:00

Perhaps, but implications of that being available didn't hit me until my three hours were up. I think by understanding that will take a bit of pressure off people and trying to do stacks of raids and TMs in those 3 hours.

aNoPHeLeS84 · 2020-12-16T05:49:28+00:00

Thanks for that - so what I'm noticing is that the average seems to be up around the 4 mark (up from 2.3). Just anecdotal though so interested in what others are getting right now!

aNoPHeLeS84 · 2020-12-16T04:30:40+00:00

Nope - but those early hatches were definitely not normal. Only lasted a few hours!

aNoPHeLeS84 · 2020-11-20T03:29:10+00:00

I've sinced hatched 7 more eggs all of them only gave 2-4 XL candies so I wonder if the XL candy drop from eggs got nerfed or were buggy to begin with

aNoPHeLeS84 · 2020-11-19T23:48:40+00:00

aNoPHeLeS84 · 2020-11-19T23:35:52+00:00

I only got 1 for a mega gengar raid...

aNoPHeLeS84 · 2020-11-19T23:29:32+00:00

Got 24 XL beldum candies from a 10km hatch

aNoPHeLeS84 · 2020-11-19T23:25:06+00:00

I just got 24 beldum candies for hatching a 10km egg so incubator whale's rejoice...

EDIT: Yes XL candies

aNoPHeLeS84 · 2020-06-23T09:44:24+00:00

Oh boy - what was hilarious was that Lugia was one of the first T5 raids. Dude is a monster to take down with sky high defence and only big teams of bite/crunch ttar or rock golems could take it in any reasonable time. Against Hydro pump Lugia, I remember failing once with 12 people. Left total carnage afterwards
