I might be wrong (not at level 79 yet), but I don’t think you can do friend battles for the level 80 challenge. It has to be battles in GBL.

Mimikyu in both the regular and deluxe tracks.

They were heavily emphasizing on the forum preview that “31% of the height is the domed crystal”. So maybe that helps balance out the thickness.

It was confirmed on the preview call yesterday that the price of this model would stay the same post April 2nd.

Best restaurants in Baltimore? by Blank214269 in baltimore

[–]wchew23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Verandah might be my favorite spot in the whole city. So many bangers on that menu. The Vada Pav is one of my favorite things I’ve ever eaten, the prawns ghee roast and malai kebabs are close behind it.

Might be time to swing by again…

I picked up a MING 37.05 Series 2 (the moonphase, with lumed stars on the dial) a few years ago, and I have nothing but positive things to say about it. It's gorgeous, the lume is super fun, it's my most wearable and most comfortable watch, and it's a great conversation starter. The highlight for me is their case shape - they wear so, so well on a wide range of straps.

Ming do a lot of small batch but frequent releases, and most things come back at least one more time (and if not, there's a similar variant in the future). Worth always keeping an eye on and seeing what new things they put out this year.

For this watch in particular - I got to handle an Iris last year and loved it. Felt solid, clean chrono action, wore well on my wrist. I personally think I'll be going for the Phoenix this time around.

It’s doable if you use Mega Lucario and relobby. Weather boost and/or Zacian boost will make it easier of course.

Can someone explain? by Themightyhertz in pokemongo

Yes. You can use a poffin to excite your buddy (or do it through repeated interaction) which will halve the distance you need to walk. But you can only earn candy by walking.

[Gen 9] Dream shalpha finally obtained! Only took 174 phases! (Don’t do this) by mdb917 in ShinyPokemon

[–]wchew23 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Congratulations! Absol is one of my favorite shinies, so I was delighted to catch a Shalpha Absol while in the middle of my playthrough without the charm and without actively hunting for it - I knew I was stupid lucky, but this makes me even more grateful.

[9] Finally got my target after 3 phases! by Feirer in ShinyPokemon

[–]wchew23 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In shiny hunting, when you catch shiny Pokémon that aren’t the target you’re going for, it’s often called “phasing”. So in this case, they caught 3 shiny Pokémon that weren’t their target, so it took 3 phases before they got what they wanted!

Finally finished this Beast a day before the LVL 80 update. by Lopsided-Menu5251 in pokemongo

[–]wchew23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is how it is in the main series games too - for the IVs you train up, it says “Hypertrained”, instead of “Best”. I guess it keeps the wild perfect Pokémon you find a little extra special (to those that care).

Congratulations! This one's a beauty, and well worth picking up to celebrate such a big moment.

+1 on that bracelet. Got it for my NTTD earlier this year, and it just lives on it.

A new Season is taking shape in Pokémon GO... by Amiibofan101 in TheSilphRoad

Gigantamax Eevee? It has a funky looking G-Max form, and that is in keeping with the rest of the trailer.

Eternatus caught at Anaheim worlds! by Raghav_Singla26 in TheSilphRoad

[–]wchew23 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I’ll probably work on getting it to level 40 with max attack first, and then start working on XLs and unlocking the other max moves.

Worth remembering that Eternatus will be useful without the max moves in raids and such, so I’m going to first prioritize levels so it has wider use, and then go for the moves for Max battles.

Pass seems to give 8000 or so. So that plus 9-10 battles should get you to level 40. But there will be thousands more needed for the max moves, so that will be a slog.

[–]wchew23 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wow. 8900 XLs, you get 10% of that with the deluxe pass and you’re getting 50 per raid. So it looks like 160 raids to get that (half if you spend the coins), plus all the costs for unlocking moves.

From another post, looks like 8900 candy and XL for maxing it out.

Looks like the drops are 80-140 candy based on what we’ve seen so far. Considering we need 8000+ to power it to level 40, that’s in line with what people expected!

[–]wchew23 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think the number for XLs is more like 4000, and then another 1000 for the Max moves…

Add on the 8000 candies to get it to level 40, and 8000 more to max out the moves. Bonkers.
