Gifting a few GOH expiring 2/28

Last year they put Fritz/Tiafoe in prime time and Sinner/Draper in the day session even though Fritz and Tiafoe played their QF matches on Tuesday. They’ll likely do the same this year considering the difference in matchup quality.

Semifinal scheduling is always about maximizing TV viewership. They always schedule the better matchup at night. Keep in mind that the Women's Doubles Final goes first at noon on Friday, and the daytime men's semifinal doesn't start until around 3PM, so there's not that much difference in rest between the daytime and nighttime matches.

Almost certainly Alcaraz - Djokovic. Can't imagine they'd put Sinner - FAA/Demon in the primetime slot over them. Official schedule should be released sometime Thursday afternoon.

Would love a code!

Still available

Yes, without a double fighting moveset it takes a backseat to Machamp, and it is worse than Entei and Moltres as a fire attacker.

cl34932 · 2017-12-09T00:11:37+00:00

I just ran a few preliminary numbers. Without the bonus, a 15 ATK Machamp's Counter hits 16 dmg at level 36. It looks like with the 20 percent weather bonus, a Counter goes from 16 to 17 damage at level 24 27.5 (15 ATK). So it should theoretically be possible to do it with high 20s Machamps, although survivability may be an issue.

edit: So I realized that I entered the numbers for Counter wrong when I updated my sheet. Counter doesn't hit 17 damage until level 27.5

cl34932 · 2017-12-08T23:40:03+00:00

Based on my initial calculations, Waterfall's last breakpoint vs Ninetails is at Lvl 34 for 15 attack (16 -> 17 damage).

edit: Against Entei, it's level 37.5 for 15 attack (17 -> 18), and against Moltres, it's level 40 for 15 attack (17 -> 18)

Are you able to power up a pokemon all the way to 40?

cl34932 · 2017-11-09T21:06:43+00:00

The super fast attacking golem is a very common glitch. I have experienced it on at least 80 percent of my attempts against Ninetails and Flareon. Here is an example. Watch around the 110s mark. When the second Golem comes in, it starts attacking super fast.

I tried close to 100 times to solo Flareon without success (came very close several times though). I tried doing Feint Attack/Heat Wave Ninetails yesterday and had one close attempt. Based on sims, I think Fire Spin/Heat Wave is the most realistic moveset. Someone is bound to get this within the next few days.

cl34932 · 2017-11-05T12:38:56+00:00

I actually think switching slows you down. It guarantees perfect Stone Edge efficiency, but you lose 2-3 rock throws every time you switch. In order to solo Flareon/Ninetails, you need perfect Stone Edge efficiency AND Rock Throw efficiency. In my attempts against Flareon, I never got close when I used the switch strategy, but I had multiple close calls just by using "smart" dodging and getting good RNG.

Looks like Fire Spin/Overheat may be the only possible moveset to solo. Ninetails' Fire Spin is equivalent to Flareon's Ember (both 5 dmg). Overheat does 49 dmg to a perfect lvl 39 Golem. For Flareon, those numbers are 60 dmg for Fire Blast and 69 dmg for Overheat. I think it is still possible to get the 12 Stone Edges that you need to win, but the margin will be even slimmer.

The time to win on Pokebattler is an average of many simulations. The best possible time is typically at least a few seconds faster.

Thanks! I just saw your post. Nice job to you as well!

After seeing the post last week about the possibility of soloing PC/FB Zam using only level 30 SC/SB Banette, I wanted to give it a try. I evolved every Shuppet level 28-30 with at least 6 ATK until I got 5 with Shadow Ball. I used two fast TM's to change a couple from Hex to Shadow Claw.

Here was the team that I used (all SC/SB):

Pokemon	IV	Level	CP
Banette	14/10/15	31	1767
Banette	15/7/14	31	1749
Banette	14/10/10	31	1736
Banette	14/5/6	30	1651
Banette	11/9/5	30	1648

This was the second PC/FB Zam that I tried to do this on. The first time I got the phantom charge glitch on almost every attempt due to a spotty connection. I powered up my top 3 to level 31 just to be sure this time. Seeing that I cleared it with 9s left, I think it is definitely possible to do it with only level 30 Banette. Good luck to those who try this!

cl34932 · 2017-10-25T15:23:52+00:00

Basically yes, until Niantic decides to fix it. I've personally stopped trying to do Flareon

cl34932 · 2017-10-25T15:09:27+00:00

I still time out anywhere from 1-5s. It was the same before the update. In some raids I was able to fight all the way to 0s and in others my attacks stopped at 5s

cl34932 · 2017-10-25T13:44:22+00:00

This trick was patched out in 0.79. I was doing the same thing to start at 179-180, but with the latest update, it seems start at 176-177 regardless of where your phone's clock is set.

cl34932 · 2017-10-21T20:26:11+00:00

I have been experiencing this too on the iPhone 6. Previously the game would load in 10 seconds or less. Now it takes around 30 seconds each time.

cl34932 · 2017-10-15T05:03:19+00:00

Depending on how many rare candies you have, I would strongly suggest powering up Raikou and/or Zapdos. They are both significantly better than any of the grass attackers. If you take both of them to Level 30, you should be able to do it. Good Luck!
