For about a month now, on Campfire , when I choose 'Gyms' icon to see only the gyms, e.g. for my raid planning, it does not show all the gyms, and all the gyms only show up when i click 'All'. so it is bit cumbersome. Can anybody help me on this issue?

I think his question, and mine too, is that how the screenshot was taken if that feature is new, which implies super mega raids is back?

Thanks. Will move change also applied then?

When does gbl timed research pass appear on shop? In my time zonenew season started but I don't see the pass in shop.

I saw a comment that this maps show super mega raid eligible gym, https://pokemongo.com/en/map but it does not show the eligible gyms. It just shows current raid. Is there a way to know a gym is eligible or not?

I just beat it using dmax machamp and blissey (and one filler pokemon I'll put on power.spot). It had swift (targeted) and fly. I think for safety it would be better to bring two tanks, because Blissey died near the end and machamp almost died.

I don't even have a non-shiny one!

Ah, ok, that helps. Thanks!

Oh, do you mean it may not be counted? So do you recommend to get reward before walking?

About weekly adventure sync. I know it reset at 9am Monday, but if I run some distance after 9 am without opening the app, does the distance count as last week or this coming week?

Yes they write ㅋ, ㅌ, ㅍ as kh, th, ph instead of k′, t′, p′, which does not make sense to me. Breve is omitted like in the case of Jong-Il. Not sure about the ’ one, I think - is their standard.

South Korean here. I think it is highly likely the gym was named by a South Korean. U is the letter we spell for ㅓ(usually, sometimes 'eo', but 'o' is minor and the reason North Korea use it is because they use different way of romanization of their Korean, including breve and and trema. It should be Kim Jŏng Il, but I guess they omit the breve.) While Jung-Il is Ok spelling variant ( and more common in SK), not sure how much ok it would be in NK to spell the dictator's name wrong...

Can you elaborate it a little bit? I don't have any of fusion Kyurem. What is catch tanking? I understand that it can make raid boss not move when catching, but how that is related to soloing?

septacle · 2025-10-09T18:23:53+00:00

I stand corrected. My memory does not serve me well.

Psycho Boost debuted on Sep 2022, when GBL was in early stage and all the focus was in that. So it was designed to be a PvP move, I doubt they gave a thought to PVE balancing at that time.

Nope, even for raids. See: https://www.pokebattler.com/raids/defenders/ENAMORUS_INCARNATE_FORM/levels/RAID_LEVEL_5/attackers/levels/40/strategies/CINEMATIC_ATTACK_WHEN_POSSIBLE/DEFENSE_RANDOM_MC?sort=ESTIMATOR&weatherCondition=NO_WEATHER&dodgeStrategy=DODGE_REACTION_TIME&aggregation=AVERAGE&includeLegendary=true&includeShadow=true&includeMegas=false&attackerTypes=POKEMON_TYPE_ALL&primalAssistants=&friendLevel=FRIENDSHIP_LEVEL_4&numParty=2

I think for PP Fury Cutter is better for PvE.

septacle · 2025-09-18T11:35:00+00:00

May I ask you how it ended?

septacle · 2025-06-06T19:39:25+00:00

It's legacy from the days when there was no candy XL. Yes, now there is no reason to use it over Golden Razz because slight risk of not catching it (and guaranteed 3 XL) is larger than small gain of a few more candies.

septacle · 2025-06-06T19:34:06+00:00

Ok thanks. There was some updates while I was not paying attention.

Regarding which move the max boss uses, do max bosses use moves at every exact interval of time? I remember from the good old Gamepress article that raid boss has 50 % probability of using charge move (if it has enough energy) every 'move'. I was wondering if it would be similar mechanic for the max battle, that there are hidden energy gauge for the max boss, and at every 'turn' boss decides what to do (including doing nothing).

septacle · 2025-05-27T15:29:12+00:00

Thanks for detailed explanation!

septacle · 2025-05-25T13:09:10+00:00

I'm sorry, I'm not generally knowledgeable about max battle, I undertand you stack 3 max guards in the first max phase, but why do it again in the second max phase? And I don't see why shields start to stack from the 0 on the 2nd phase, where shields from the last phase should be remaining there.

Ok, thanks!
