SuperKlaus posted:Was there a stealth move rebalancing? My Blissey rolled Psychic as a single bar charge move for 100. Psychic used to be a two bar charge move for 55, right? So says pogomoves.com. Yeah, lots of moves have changed. I managed to get a gym battle in before the servers went poo poo. Pound is USELESS now and Wigglytuff got nerfed harder.

Dazzling Gleam Blissey will counter Dragonite, Tyranitar and Machamp. I doubt Alakazam has enough stamina to defeat Blissey in time.

Willsun posted:Arcanine (better fire option against enemy Exeggutor because Arcanine has Bite, a dark type move, which Flareon doesn't have). Egg is weak to fire, so Arcanine with Fire Fang is the better option due to stab. Flareon has new moves, Fire Spin and Overheat. That's the combo you're looking for. Keep in mind, Charizard has a double resistance to grass while Houndoom is resistant to Egg's psychic and grass moves.

Bear Retrieval Unit posted:I had an idea some time ago that it would be great if they allowed you to change specific pokemon candy into "type candy", like lets say 10 Growlite candies turn into 1 fire candy that can be used for any fire type. Where the idea fell apart was strong dual type pokemon, since grinding up Pidgies to power up Dragonites would be absurd. Or grinding Pidgey candy for Snorlax candy

I've now hatched more Larvitars and Mareep than Dratinis (one of each, zero Drats) Today I prestiged a gym and got my spot sniped. On top of that, T-Mobile is absolute poo poo in Phoenix, so I couldn't make another spot before I had to leave.

Snorlax: Rhydon was pretty useful as a counter. Wigglytuff was my favorite to prestige with vs Snorlax, so Heavy Slam throws that out the window. Also throws out Tyranitar as a prestiger / attacker. Dragonite supremacy. Machamp: I don't like Counter. I could get two Karate Chops between moves, but only one Counter. I'll need more practice. Gyarados: I have the candies and a candidate for a new one. Whee!

AirRaid posted:You say that but I agree. A defending pokemon's moveset isn't really going to change my approach, just that maybe my attacker will lose 75% of its HP instead of 50%. I'm not gonna lose any sleep over it and that defender is still gonna go down. I see it as this gym will take me 50 minutes to take down by myself if the defenders have poor movesets versus 60 minutes with good movesets.
