How easy is absol to 2 man on a cloudy day? I have 5 lv 30 machamp and my kid has 4 of them so far. If it's cloudy we can probably add one more each, or a hariyama, probably at lv 30+

Fritzler posted:Agreed. Did my first absol raid today because the weather boosted fighting pokemon so it was an easy 2 man and I need that pokedex entry man. It was shiny. Still haven't gotten a shinny magikarp (and they are fairly common here) but got shuppet, duskull and now absol. Holy poo poo, congrats!

I did an Absol raid today with three others and none of us had done it before. After catching we found out that one of them looked different than the others - a shiny! Unfortunately it wasn't mine.

from discord @everyone WEATHER + SPAWNS As you probably all have noticed, Niantic introduced a new in-game weather mechanic alongside Gen III which can boost the stats (IVs) of certain types of Pokémon depending on the local weather. A 💯 Larvitar can turn into a Wurmple and a 💯 Ralts can become 49% if the weather changes between the time the spawn point was picked up by the scanner and the time it takes you to get there. If this happens, it's not that the scan is "broken" but the new game mechanics in action. To avoid these IV curve-balls, make sure to check if the mon is likely to be a weather boosted spawn ❄. With weather effects, wild spawns now have a maximum level of 35. So if you see a 30+ mon on the scanner, it is most likely weather-boosted. Also check the time! From initial tests, the in-game weather changes only at the top of the hour (:00). If the scanner picked it up at 7:59 and you arrive anytime past 8:00, the spawn and IVs could change depending on the weather. The entire dev community is working hard to come up with solutions for this but everyone will have to be patient as we adjust to the new system. Our developer is also currently working on adding weather functionality to the spawn database and we will alert you as soon as that feature is live. 🌞 (P.S. #chicago scans are down temporarily, will be back up as soon as possible...) https://gph.is/1syLEcy

Local girl posted on Reddit about a failed EX raid, where she and one other person were the only ones who showed. People had sympathy until she mentioned it was her third raid and she really wanted a perfect Mewtwo. Then several others are whining that they want the birds back or they hope the Xmas event is all the legendaries out at once because they still need all 3/6/perfect ones.

It feels like there's a day lag on weather. It's blue skies today and in game it's cloudy. Yesterday was overcast but in game sunny. I'm not complaining, it's just weird. I'm catching a decent amount of Ralts at least!

People dumping 200+ rare candies into the first Slakoth they hatch is pretty funny considering its useless as both an attacker or defender. But then again thats 200 more free bag space

I spent around 20 minutes and someone kept remote berrying a Blissey. I needed the points for a gym anyways, because it's a Starbucks and has been known to give out ex passes.

Parrotine posted:If that Blissey is in the 3000+ CP range you're gonna be there for a while, that blob can tank for a good hour before the trainer runs out of golden razzies to feed it with Yeah, I can't think of any pokemon capable of actually winning against a determined attacker (assuming that attacker isn't like level 10 or whatever). Blissey at least makes the battle longer and more painful, which means it's the best pokemon for the only metric that really matters: wasting as much of an attacker's time as possible. I often see people break off an attack after a golden berry because in their mind that 5-minute slog just turned into a 20-minute slog. If they're so dedicated to taking down a gym that they'll waste 20 minutes of their life, then I don't think it was possible to deter them in the first place. Chanseys are also good if your attacker is lower level. There's a few people in the high 20s running around in my neighborhood, and they seem to spend almost as long on the Chansey as they do on the Blissey. It also loses CP slower, which is nice - a full CP heart on a 900-CP pokemon seems to be a better deterrent than an empty heart on a 3000-CP pokemon.

A 3000CP Blissey with zen headbutt and dazzling gleam will probably take down a Machamp first. Dazzling gleam is a real pain.

yeah it will unless maybe you have absolutely no lag whatsoever and can get off perfect dodges. my 2600cp 98% iv machamp has yet to solo a 3000+ cp blissey once.

Never. Get out and walk you lazy bastards, I don't care how cold it is! Speaking of cold, my area has swung to the opposite of the weather warning side. There's tons of snow and ice outside, and there's an Extreme Cold Weather alert, but PoGO weather is showing partly cloudy. Oh well.

Slaking is good to pop into a gym right before a raid to solidify gym control, at max CP it can cause serious pain to attackers. After an hour it's kinda worthless though.

Chairman Mao posted:I can't even imagine how you'd play Pokemon go in my city without a car. You sure wouldn't be raiding much. When I say car players I mean people slowly driving along in residential areas while spinning stops and throwing balls, occasionally stopping for 5-10 minutes with the engine running to tear down a gym. Traveling by car to meet up with a raid group seems totally ok.

Parrotine posted:How much damage does that thing gotta sponge till it can pull of a single charge attack? It has play rough, a two bar move. If you focus primarily on dodging every attack (even quick ones) you don't actually need to take much damage before you can use it. The other two charge moves are borderline unusable though.

Having a high Chansey is very useful along with the Blissey. I don't care about car players because they can go ahead and pay up for the amount of gas used in long-term city driving. The thread probably still thinks alt accounts are blasphemous but everyone in my town has at least 1 alt account going.
