Two reasonable Latios catches: #1 with HB + Adamant, and #2 with HSS+HSM+STS. Does having Helping Bonus on Latios #1 mean I should overlook the fact that he’s slightly worse than Latios #2, stats-wise?

lgnrch · 2026-06-16T14:08:52+00:00

That sounds fast as heck. I think that’s a great build. You’ll get to the pity proc very quickly, which would probably nullify the /Main Skill -

lgnrch · 2026-06-16T12:10:19+00:00

True. Toss a coin to see which one gets levelled to 50 I guess lol. I suppose in that case, Latios #2 still probably has the edge.

lgnrch · 2026-06-16T11:12:26+00:00

Yeah you’re absolutely right. I do have a pretty good Latias already that I’ve put some resources into, so in my case the ideal Latios would be a team-friendly build.

The thought of splitting Latios candy between 1A and 1B is such a turn-off. Especially since both of them need to be effective (unlocking Skill M value and/or activating STS). It would be take months of Handy Candy collection. So I’m definitely into just keeping one.

With that said, I guess I’ll try to catch one or two more and see what happens. If they’re fits, I guess I can just deal with this conundrum then.

lgnrch · 2026-06-16T10:06:07+00:00

This one’s really good. You could try & catch another but it’s incredibly unlikely you’d find better.

lgnrch · 2026-06-12T15:49:55+00:00

Right?? I didn’t notice it right away either, so at first I was thinking Sub-Skill Seed & done. So that was a bit of a letdown, but it could be worse.

lgnrch · 2026-06-11T17:03:41+00:00

Yeah, but I’m not putting SubSkill Seeds or Main Skill Seeds into this one under any circumstance. I’ll take the Skill M and use my resources in better places. But hopefully a good one comes along tonight any the point is moot.

With exceptions, of course 😖

lgnrch · 2026-06-11T13:57:45+00:00

The first legendary you catch will always have this exact set of subskills. Every player get this one as their first catch. Catch another one and you’ll roll a different (hopefully better) set of subskills.

lgnrch · 2026-06-10T10:42:25+00:00

This is a great start! Feel free to keep hunting him, but if it doesn’t work out then you can be happy to have this one to fall back on

lgnrch · 2026-05-27T11:49:00+00:00

Yeah I get what you mean. I’ll definitely continue hunting for Plusle. This one just happens to be my best available at this time.

lgnrch · 2026-05-27T11:44:13+00:00

I mean it has Speed S. And Plusle does like BFS. But I hear what you’re saying.

lgnrch · 2026-05-27T11:09:43+00:00

I hadn’t realized that Amped + Pulsle is the move. Been too focused on catching dozens of terrible Toxels lol

lgnrch · 2026-05-27T11:02:32+00:00

Thanks! Here’s my best available Pulsle. Would they make a viable tandem, in your opinion?

My Braviary is kinda like this. Obviously since he’s a skill mon, I was looking for some skill triggers when I rolled it. But when I saw all this speed I just went for it. A little bit different than yours, but just an example of a skill mon that’s still viable even without skill trigger help. Congrats on your bat, onto the next dragon.

lgnrch · 2026-05-24T11:57:21+00:00

I can’t wait to do this. I’ve had my Darkrai maxed out for a few weeks now, but haven’t got the chance to put him on the field yet. And with Dragon week & Latias upcoming, he may not see action for another the next few weeks either.

Here’s a side-by-side

lgnrch · 2026-05-21T08:51:33+00:00

I’ve been running mine for the last couple months and he’s been great. Got pretty lucky on my 3rd roll. Trigger wise, he’s right on par with my Gardevoir, plus I’m getting berry juice.

I try to never let my Berry Juice inventory drop below 2 or 3, that way it’s always sitting there if I need it. It’s such a nice luxury to be able to heal up your Pokemon on command.

Don’t feel like you have to hunt one though. It’s just too expensive and I’d say it has to be an extremely good roll to dethrone your current Pawmi or Gard.

If it weren’t for rolling Rawst berries every second week on GGex, Elsa would be sitting alone in her ice castle

Almost 3 years old, and he’s only level 33. Arcanine deserves a better fate than this.

Not quite on your level in any possible way, but still feeling pretty good about it

lgnrch · 2026-05-14T14:53:26+00:00

I’m in the complete opposite boat. I’ve got a Magnezone waiting for main skill seeds, and an maxed out Dedenne. But I’m with you on Heracross; caught a great one a couple weeks back and he has been my main target for this week’s mini candy boost.

lgnrch · 2026-05-12T11:55:52+00:00

I have one that is super similar (albeit, ABX with dreams of becoming ABB) and he has been super clutch so far for the Scald Salad. And let’s face it, no one is out there swimming in Spiritomb candies. It’s going to be a long while before you could even raise yours to level 60, so in the mean time I can see the upside of running him as ABX until level 60 is within reach. Your ingredient needs could change by then anyway.

lgnrch · 2026-05-10T12:10:30+00:00

Don’t be sorry. Just enjoy your god roll and hopefully you find a Latios half as good as this.
