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.

so i decided i'd go and trash a bunch of crappy mons with sub-90% ivs i've been pointlessly holding on to (poo poo like 84% iv seakings and whatnot) and boy oh man why the gently caress did they change it so that any time you do anything to your pokemon it resets all the way to the loving start of the list. this is irritating as gently caress and i hope it's just a bug that they fix.

zigzagoon should be sentret/rattata-ified. 25 candies to evolve, no eggs. it is boggling that it's 50 to evolve that thing, like seriously what in the hell. at least if they moved it to 25 it'd be sorta worth catching for evolution sprees.

Same on Unown. You'd think they'd make it more common if every letter of the alphabet was collectible.

the town i live in is unreasonably active for pokemon go, there's about 30 of us who raid daily, another 20 who are more occasional. some girl pays monthly for pokehuntr so that the whole town is always scanned at all times and several of us, sometimes including myself, keep a close eye on pokehuntr to the point where there's eyes on the site nearly 24/7. any time one is spotted it is announced in the facebook group, the facebook chat and discord.

the last time anyone saw an unown in this town was january 6th. before then was some time in august. it's loving ludicrous.

Ludicolo’s stats are mediocre but its animations are top-tier. My god, those maracas! In terms of comedy gym defenders Ludicolo’s only rivals are the “too big to fit in the pedestal” crew (Makuhita, Wailord) and the classic Shiny Magikarp gambit.

yeah ludicolo is my go-to defender for gyms now. more pokemon need sick dance moves.

i'm fine with overlapping legendaries, a bunch of the people i raid with kept going after groudon when kyogre dropped in order to hopefully get better ones.

rofl i blew through the supply of over 100+ pinap berries i'd been saving for an event like this in just a few hours.

oh well got lots of new pokedex evolution entries. no luck finding a beldum anywhere at all though, and the one bagon i found broke out of the excellent throw curve ball ultraball i threw and fuckin ran like a little shithead.

Now that I'm getting a lot of good eevees again, is it worth walking them for the umbreon/espeon versions, or should I just roll the dice on water/fire/electric? I already have a good umbreon/espeon, but also loads of the others as well.

i'd say build up enough good espeons that you can solo machamp raids and then do whatever you feel like doing.

actually thinking about it, while outrage is a better move, it isn't better by much at all so if you can evolve a dragonite on the community day it means you can guarantee yourself a good dragon-type charge move rather than having to waste charge tms if you get the wrong move. so eh, overall a good thing i guess.

Yeah it's pretty stupid, especially when raids might need anywhere from 4 people for Ray vs 7+ for blizzard kyo.

Also shiny dragonite looks awful


it really is the grossest shiny.

speaking of, i realized earlier today that pichu is the only gen 2 shiny in the whole game right now. honestly they really should just release shinies for all pokemon already, trickling them out in events is lame.

I remember when playing the original games you'd be lucky to find a single shiny of any kind in years of playing, except for the red Gyarados!

the first main-series shiny i ever saw was a poliwag in gold version on my way back to a city to restock pokeballs (ie i could not catch it).

i did not see another shiny until gen 5, where i got two within two weeks (blitzle and...pidgey).

i raided at all 4 of the gyms in my town several times a week for months, from the time they were first introduced as a 'beta' item until very recently, getting 3 of the 4 gym badges to gold, and still never got a single ex pass. not a single one. as of two weeks ago i live in a different town where nobody is active and there's no documentation on which gyms do and don't give out ex passes so i guess i'm never getting a mewtwo.

the ex system is just flat-out bad.

Hey, looks like there's more Shiny Legendaries in the game's data files.

Most are staggeringly ugly. A few more are basically indistinguishable from their normal counterparts. And like three or four are pretty cool.

i have 8 10km eggs cause i got too lazy to hatch them during the last event so double dust + extra hatching dust + a star piece during this event is gonna be fun times~

hopefulky this event gets me a good amount of ralts, beldum and bagon candies as well; the 9 10km eggs i hatched in the last event were not great, with four being fuckin dratinis
