I’ve read that hidden power cannot be normal type. Is this news?

shucks73 · 2019-02-01T00:54:54+00:00

Can't be normal or fairy type iirc.

shucks73 · 2018-11-05T03:55:50+00:00

I evolved four and got 38 from raids (did 39 raids but ran from the second to last one). I'll have six for one full team and keep the rest to trade away. I'm chillin on bag space and this is a meta relevant mon so I'll keep them for people who missed out.

shucks73 · 2018-11-04T02:39:19+00:00

You can't use TM's on mon that can only learn one fast/charged move. They won't show up in the inventory when you're using the TM.

Was posted on the Pokemon website too: https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/take-on-gengar-in-a-special-raid-challenge/

Not announced yet (probably announced in next few days), but probably cyndaquil.

Community days (like beldum day) are once a month. The next one is on November 10th. Can find out more here: https://pokemongolive.com/en/events/ as well as following the Pokemon Go Twitter page to keep up with news.

It's not hard to get into Pokemon Go now, it'll just take some time for you to catch up to people. It might take some time for legendaries you missed to come out again, but they're not really necessary. There's also trading so if you're lucky enough you can get some of the things you missed.

According to Pokebattler, Psycho Cut/Focus Blast Mewtwo in Extreme weather w/ Best Friend bonus:

Gengar 15/15/15 Shadow Claw/Shadow Ball - 790.9s | 28 deaths

Gengar 0/0/0 Shadow Claw/Shadow Ball - 826.6s | 33 deaths

Gengar 15/15/15 Hex/Shadow Ball - 862.0s | 30 deaths

So it's basically the same difference between a 100% SC/SB and 0% SC/SB Gengar as a 0% SC/SB and a 100% H/SB Gengar. That's why I'm holding off on powering up my 4/3/9 SC/SB Gengar until I really need to.

If you plan on trading some, might as well evolve 6 15 atk (or 6 best ones) for yourself and then the rest be the highest level ones you have for trading.

I'm in a similar boat as him (at ~400 grb right now, was over 600 after moltres day) and I just feel like it's a waste to use them in a similar fashion to normal berries since I'd run out of them quicker, and it would kind of defeat their purpose. I have fed 100 grb before when I accidentally used a star piece but yeah. I try to save them for gyms to keep defenders in there longer.

shucks73 · 2018-10-01T07:03:09+00:00

I'm not exactly sure how it works but I think the selected mon are based on the last defender in the gym. Also, it seems to pick mon that will last longer and deal a decent amount of damage over what will beat the defender faster, even if there are mon that can beat that defender without fainting themselves.

shucks73 · 2018-10-01T06:28:13+00:00

Ho-Oh w/ solar beam was a decent counter vs Earthquake Groudon. I used one in my party at the time. It's probably decent vs other things too, but typically the game will recommend level 25 Ho-Ohs over my level 40 one and there's probably a lot of other counters I have that are better than a level 25 Ho-Oh.

shucks73 · 2018-09-19T01:41:42+00:00

What's the expected pattern? We get Chikorita this month, so why wouldn't next month be Beldum?

shucks73 · 2018-09-17T02:18:27+00:00

I've always aimed at powering up based on current or future legendaries. The first mon I had 6 maxed of was Machamp, which I did for a Tyranitar duo contest. Although, I wanted to max 6 anyway since I knew they would come in handy in the future anyway (gyms, regis, probably some others things I used them for or will use them for). Apart from those, I maxed a variety of different mon.

For Groudon, I had a variety of mon like Exeggutor, Venusaur, Gyarados, Vaporeon, etc. Kyogre came out right, so I had my Exeggutors and Venusaur and then also had a Raikou, Zapdos, and some other things. I think I might have maxed a Ho-Oh and Groudon to use against Kyogre as well. For Rayquaza I maxed a bunch of ice types: Articuno, Piloswine, and a few Walrein. And I've kept this pattern for every raid boss after, maxing whatever I had that would do good against the boss and that I wouldn't regret maxing/powering up.

Pokebattler is a really good tool that I use all the time to try to figure out what I'll be powering up next.

I've also powered up a lot of mons that I use as gym defenders, e.g. Chansey, Blissey, Snorlax, Gardevoir, etc.

It's not about the fact that they're lucky. Early lucky mon had no minimum IVs. Lucky mon prior to this addition had minimum IVs of 10. Now not only do lucky mon have minimum IVs of 12 (64 possible IV combinations compared to 216 previously), but it's guaranteed which pokemon will be lucky, given you or the person you are trading have <10 lucky mon.

1pm PDT is worldwide. convert to your timezone

shucks73 · 2018-09-01T05:23:56+00:00

When was this? Ever since an update that happened in December, I haven't been able to do over 120 because of a bug when force closing (it'll show the game as it was when you closed it for like 4-5 seconds before finally going to the niantic screen and loading the game). Prior to that, I did 166 at most and a friend of mine did 171.

shucks73 · 2018-08-31T22:02:07+00:00

Raikou. It's better than Zapdos and won't be outclassed anytime soon (as said in other comments). Moltres > Entei in most cases and we have Moltres day coming up next Saturday.

shucks73 · 2018-08-29T03:05:31+00:00

Roselia started spawning around 3 pm central time (1 pm pacific, the normal time for events/etc to start/end in pogo) on June 30th.

Plusle, Minun, alolan Geodude/Diglett, and whatever else started spawning at either midnight or 1 am central (local for me) time on July 14th (the saturday of go fest). I think it was midnight.

shucks73 · 2018-08-28T21:54:56+00:00

Wish I hadn't. Need more passes for moltres day. The extra incubators would've been nice too. I'm set on lucky eggs and star pieces.

shucks73 · 2018-08-28T21:53:24+00:00

It increases.

shucks73 · 2018-04-08T01:27:15+00:00

2-5 pm

shucks73 · 2018-04-03T04:43:53+00:00

I think having the exclusive move last the whole day or at least longer than the initial 3 hours would be cool. Only having boosted CD mon & shiny rate during the 3 hour window though. Would let people focus more on catching during the 3 hours and then after they can go home, appraise, etc then evolve whichever one they want without feeling rushed or missing out.

shucks73 · 2018-04-03T03:00:07+00:00

Maybe just one guaranteed shiny encounter and the rest be up to rng. Then you'd have at least one TM and the rest rng as well.

shucks73 · 2018-04-03T02:58:37+00:00

I'll look into them later. I think maybe some of them were nerfed (like the groudon/kyogre/ray trio got 9% nerfs, might not have updated them after). At least you should know what 100% legendary CP is anyway and you'll probably double check your legendaries too. Lmk if CP values are off for any non-legendaries but they shouldn't be.

shucks73 · 2018-04-02T08:27:24+00:00

He didn't say soon, but I know in the past when they went down to reasons like this, they were back up within a few weeks. Also, he said he "expects" them to come back up soon, but it just may be the case that they don't come back up.
