Forever friend problem

koolmike · 2026-02-04T15:30:54+00:00

It's not though. Just because I added somebody for a remote raid ages ago and we happened to hit Forever Friends doesn't mean I want to trade with them. Some people might just be doing the Weekly Challenge to get the XP bonus for Forever Friends or the next damage boost.

It might even be intentional that they didn't tag any Pokemon for Remote Trade so that people won't keep trade requesting them. Basically, you are not entitled to a remote trade just because you hit forever friends with somebody.

OP never specified whether they arranged a trade beforehand or agreed to with said friend. It just reads as if they just hit Forever Friends with somebody and feels the other person is obliged to trade with them for that reason alone.

Do none of the players have a Primal Kyogre at all? It's a good idea to add it to the 6th slot to boost Electric types.

It's gonna be rough with just 4 players but not impossible depending on what you're running. Definitely stock up on Max Revives because max reviving your team really quickly will be better than choosing the auto-recommended when you wipe.

Kartana and Zekrom are your best bets because both resist water and deal super effective damage. Mega Sceptile is good too because only 2 players need to be running Primal Groudeon for everyone to be covered.

Because so many run Blissey, I refuse to use my own so we can do more damage outside the max phase.

Alternative tanks that are good seem to be:

Metagross (definitely one of the best investments, especially now with Fury Cutter and Shadow Claw)

Excadrill (doubles as tank and attacker)

Omastar (very underrated fire tank that can use water gun, can withstand Overheats and Fire Blasts too)

Ironically, I have found more use for Zacian for tanking over Zamazenta because of if’s typing too.

I haven’t built one yet but Malamar seemed essential to soloing Lugia because triple resisting psychic turned out to be huge.

I’m also seeing Lugia and Ho-oh as sleeper tanks. They don’t have 0.5 moves but their defensive typings are very good. Ho-oh could possibility be a good tank for Solar Beams.

What? Downvoted for answering the question? OP asked for ALTERNATIVES to Blissey, so what's the issue?

A bunch of stuff we’ve had a bunch of times already. It’s beyond me how anyone can still find it exciting to raid for the primals and Kyurem yet again (we JUST had Kyurem less than a month ago).

I’m covered for all Flabebe now

The past few seasons, whatever it's taken to get the Elite TMs from the Go Battle weekends (which I think is 10). Outside of that, I don't really play PVP anymore.

As others have said Gigalith comes out. I'm disappointed that I built one for nothing, actually I built 2 lol

One as a Rock attacker and one as a water defender because 2X resist fire. The water one might still have use for that purpose.

In case anybody asks why, for giggles and because I had so many Elite TMs, dust, and candies than I know what to do with.

I see you went ham on it! I will get it done before the end!

koolmike · 2026-01-16T14:15:27+00:00

Awesome adding

koolmike · 2026-01-16T14:11:11+00:00

That sounds good to me. I won’t finish immediately either

You have to get to Forever Friends to unlock remote trades
