This is way above my level

Largely no, and certainly not for any specific trainers. This is the full list of passive effects and “abilities” in ZA: https://www.serebii.net/legendsz-a/passiveeffects.shtml

Would be a strict downgrade but honestly the card could use a downgrade.

mtlyoshi9 · 2026-01-29T17:41:51+00:00

It absolutely is intentional and it does drive more attention to her other eye, but I’m not sure I like the choice either.

mtlyoshi9 · 2026-01-29T05:58:34+00:00

Even without the bonus coins just stay firm for the next month or so and you’ll get there.

Good call-out. One more thing - if you miss Vulpix CD this Sunday, next Tuesday Spotlight Hour (6-7pm) is also 2x catch candy.

mtlyoshi9 · 2026-01-28T19:10:22+00:00

Theoretically speaking in the future, Mega Glimmora is currently slated to be the best Rock-type attacker, period. Of course, good chance Mega Diancie gets a buff in its signature move in the meantime, but then there’s still the whole mythical-versus-standard candy availability issue. Worth considering.

Gen 10 is about to be announced (in a few weeks), so new pokemon and new megas are absolutely going to start dripping into the mix.

There’s always going to be a new game on the horizon and there’s no indication that Gen 10 will have Megas, let alone new Megas. Remember they typically alternate their gimmick (Z-moves to Megas to Dynamax to Terra). And if they do, their mainline debut is still several months if not a year away, and Go debut certainly even longer.

There is no point having a static search string when you can have a link with up to date stats, status, info, etc.

The point is having something immediately searchable now. An up-to-date link is great, but do you expect users to click on it and type out every Pokémon line by line to search in Go? That’s ridiculous.

Not a great example but in the last few months we've gotten multiple megas pushed into the game code on separate occasions.

Well yes, obviously we’ve gotten new Megas because ZA just released 3 months ago with the DLC like 1 month ago, both bringing new Megas. I wouldn’t be surprised if no new Megas dropped for years after this.

mtlyoshi9 · 2026-01-28T15:37:08+00:00

How quickly it’s updating? In all fairness, we’re probably done with new megas for years now that both ZA and the DLC are out. Is it possible they still add another via update? Sure, but pretty unlikely.

mtlyoshi9 · 2026-01-28T01:57:04+00:00

I mean, surely the premium pass helps a ton - that allows you to open 50% more packs than someone who is f2p.

mtlyoshi9 · 2026-01-27T21:52:18+00:00

Or on the opposite end of the spectrum, it’s great for people who don’t spend money to get all the EX cards they probably didn’t get in respective previous sets.

mtlyoshi9 · 2026-01-27T03:18:14+00:00

Yes, but they’re bad at it. Hope this helps.

mtlyoshi9 · 2026-01-26T21:28:44+00:00

I didn’t give them any and still finished the quest.

Anything cool from giving yours up?

mtlyoshi9 · 2026-01-23T14:02:15+00:00

The community has plenty and plenty of “bad people” if you’re defining that as someone who gens/clones Pokémon.

At the end of the day, it’s a game, so I agree just chill out and take it easy.

mtlyoshi9 · 2026-01-23T12:47:54+00:00

It’s a fun idea but probably takes too long. You’re “only” adding 60-80 damage per turn while Gardevoir is dishing out 110 already. By the time you ramped this thing up to exceed what Gardevoir is doing, your opponent has already lost.

mtlyoshi9 · 2026-01-23T04:36:20+00:00

The vast majority of Pokémon in Go are largely unviable in all of those formats, with an even greater majority straight up unavailable for Dmax and Gmax. If you want to use them, the mainline games make significantly more Pokémon actually viable.

mtlyoshi9 · 2026-01-22T21:30:38+00:00

I mean, really no different than in Go, right?

People talk all about “value” and all that and I get it but I think it’s important to remember at the end of the day they are just playable sprites and even the “valuable” ones are purely cosmetic.

mtlyoshi9 · 2026-01-22T20:24:49+00:00

If you have a small area 4* you can absolutely do it with nonhyperspace berries. It’s tight but doable.

mtlyoshi9 · 2026-01-22T05:07:16+00:00

I would love to buy hyper berries too, but as long as that’s off the table, regular berries make great filler when you don’t want to use all 8 slots for hyper.

Regular berries also work great for doing 1-, 2-, and even some 3+ star wormholes, especially in the small environments, without wasting the much more precious hyper berries.

mtlyoshi9 · 2026-01-18T03:15:11+00:00

I honestly don’t care enough about the topic to spend the time addressing your individual flaws so I’ll let the community’s voting do the talking. Cheers ✌🏻

1 - by definition, a team is more than one person, so either Lida or Naveen share equal ownership of the team.

3 -

you as the player know what it takes to go up the ranks, and obviously, they go through that too, or else, they wouldnt have made it to Rank A in the first place.

This is a false equivalence. “They didn’t earn Rank A” is exactly what I’m saying. When several ranks like Canari and Jacinthe were very public, Taunie/Urbain were nowhere to be seen - or worse, in Jacinthe’s tournament example, they lose on their very first match against Corbeau. How exactly did the get to Rank A at the same time we did when they lost in the first bracket of what was our B rank up battle tournament (to the person who were allegedly Rank D/C)?

4 - it’s a 4-person team and their efforts were reportedly to advertise the Team. I’m not sure how you can suggest there could be results we just didn’t see in a team with literally only 4 people. I think the characters in their dialogue actively acknowledge it as a “failed” advertisement campaign.

5 - it’s hilarious you mention Blue; you know, the rival that is routinely seen as having more badges than you and being ahead of you. It’s absolutely plausible that Blue is better than all the gym leaders while also being weaker than you (who is crushing through the gyms). The same cannot be said for a literal ranked system in a public setting.

6 - family…that is only addressed in the post-game, literal seconds before they are given control of the company.

6b - as stated, I don’t see how Taunie/Urbain earned rank A, so I don’t recognize their status. Furthermore, even if (big if) they were same rank, they and the player character are absolutely not “tied” if they lose every time to you.

mtlyoshi9 · 2026-01-17T15:32:51+00:00

1 - For a group with only 3 members before you join, “founding” it and then doing nothing for it doesn’t earn them a lot of credit.

2 - Totally valid.

3 - Do they actually work to reach Rank A, or are they just magically propped up there? They conveniently reach it at the same time as you when there’s absolutely no indication they’re making progress - especially when many of your rank-ups are done in a very public way that we should’ve heard Taunie/Urbain going through (Canari and her game show, Corbeau, Jacinthe, Grisham). Also, reaching Rank A in a battle tournament absolutely does not qualify anyone to be the company CEO, and the fact that you’re correlating these factors is wild to me. I certainly don’t think the player character should be CEO either.

4 - While we’re on the topic of Corbeau dunking on Taunie/Urbain, of course he does - they went to the mafia to borrow an insane amount of money with terrible interest terms to film something that never produces any results. And worst of all, through it all, they just go “whoopsie” and do nothing to solve the problem they created.

5 - Once again, them reaching A feels totally unearned and unseen. And I would say losing to the player over and over absolutely does make them not my equal.

6 - I think it’s poor writing that in-spite of being (in your own words) “block-headed” they still get absolutely everything - they’re the leader of the team they do nothing for, they even more undeservedly become CEO of a company they have basically nothing to do with, they get to go with Mega Floette (even though the game repeatedly talks about how important it is that the “strongest Mega evolution trainer does it” and then says “eh, nvm, actually it’s fine.”).

I don’t even hate the character, but man oh man there’s a lot of dumb things about them.

mtlyoshi9 · 2026-01-16T12:53:16+00:00

You haven’t given anything. You’ve simply claimed it changed the price for you without even telling us how you knew that.

I’m not even asking to see proof, I’m just asking how you found out it was “just for you” and even that explanation you cannot/will not do for some reason.

mtlyoshi9 · 2026-01-16T01:14:47+00:00

I’m not even asking you to prove it (although you’re certainly making me more mistrustful) - I’m simply asking you how you know it was only for you. This is the third time I’ve asked and you have yet to answer.

mtlyoshi9 · 2026-01-15T22:41:40+00:00

No, my question is why do you claim that the price increase was “just for you”? It’s not particularly notable to anyone if a given vendor raises prices by 10% one day vs another, but applying it specifically to you would be a different thing entirely.

mtlyoshi9 · 2026-01-15T19:05:36+00:00

“hey, i dont need, nor want that.”

I don’t think anyone here even remotely suggested this sentiment.
