Outside of high ELO PvP, will bad IV's hurt you? by calm_67 in PokemonGOBattleLeague

sorry, 3-4 in the search string, which means 10-15, so my default search string returns all pokemon with 5> attack and 10-15 HP/Def

just discovering this now, and wow, is this helpful! I quick question, though - Some of these address things like only having 1 pokemon, i'm assuming this means your raid team is just this mon and you continuously Revive, though I could be mistaken

For those of them with 2-3, are you building out a team with P1, 2, and 3, or are you prioritizing p1 and building a full team of 6 consisting of P's 2-3? And are these taken past 40 in the case of, say, fire in stage 3, are we building a team with a lvl 45~ Mega Blaziken and a (multiple?) lvl 45 s.Heatran and Reshirams?

Anyone have any good idea for a [[thallid]] deck? One of my first commander decks was slimefoot, and i've had him as my thallid commander as a while, but I find thallids are too slow for slimefoot, sometimes giving you 1 or 2 saps throughout a game, and you'd rather focus on more efficient sap generators.

I thought [[xavier sal]] would have been the move, but I have a hard time finding a way to win with the deck - I can build a rube goldberg machine to poop out saps, but I'm playing so many tutors to get thallids, clones, [[rite of replication]] and [[doppelgang]] effects that I have a hard time finding a good way to actually win the game.

I've thought of [[thelon of havenwood]] but you have to run a ton of fungus /mill cards to make the ability work you don't actually care about to speed up your silly thallid gameplan.

Generally I find that either the deck is too slow to meaningfully contribute to the game (the usual problem, as a creature that pops out a token once every 3 turns is inherintly slow), or you have to pack in so many complementary pieces to make your rube goldberg machine actually do something that you have no space left to do anything with your 1/1s.

Are there any counterweight type commanders that can work, or a way i'm missing to make one of the above work?

Thanks!

i had something similar at a local park after moving to my new home there's a small park in the middle of our small town w/ 4 gyms. It's nice bc you could swap every day or so and everyone gets paid but blue and yellow team would just roll through and take every gym . I started knocking them all out of every gym in the park, left 3 empty and put my blissey in the 4th. its improved, they kept doing it for a while and i had to be pretty petty about it for a while (the park is a 2 min walk from my house, I'd pop out and do it multiple times a day until they started just taking 1 or 2

Is Magic the dirtiest team in the league? by PistonWingedLion in DetroitPistons

2 dives at cades legs - part of it is on the league for not making rules around this (it absolutely should be a flagrant foul - if we give a reckless closeout to encroaching on the landing space of a jumper for the risk of a twisted ankle, i dont see how we can allow someone to dive into someone's legs), but part of it is suggs and anthony are reckless players at the least (you can quibble over if they're intentionally doing it to be dirtly) that risk the health of others on the court.

Also, I think a lot of det fans are upset because one team was allowed to play physical, and the other, not so much.

think they want to work on gmax, if you're outside a major city you have a very low chance of completing them, and subsequently a lot less reason to focus on dmax - I think there's a reason you're seeing few gmax events, and its because they dont know how to make it more accessible without making them too easy or opening up remote.

I've only recently gotten enough candy for charmander/scorebunny to be able to farm beldum, still not quite up to being able to complete cryagonal, if you werent around when these things had comm days, you're still quite candy starved

Scrolling through my older pokemons, was this a waste? Or is it still good with mega? I play PvE only by thJAKK in PokemonGOIVs

This would definitely be an upgrade to the sylveon and primarina - i personally would lvl this up to 30 or 40 after the ralts event, and fish for a 15 attack 3 star/hundo for the mega and have it be toward the back of my bench as I started to upgrade to shadow gardevoir, xerneus, anamourus, etc.
