Can confirm Gyarados can get waterfall as a fast type move. Just used a fast TM. Say hello to the best water type in the game.

Is there any reason to keep dragon tail as a legacy move on gyarados or should I flip these bitches over?

If you have a dragonite with double dragon moves, no. Otherwise get yourself the best water type in the game.

Is Gardevoir good? I switched to Ralts as my buddy and I was surprised to see that it took 5 km to get a candy. That's the same as Dratini / Larvitar levels.

Gardevoir's typing will likely make it the premiere Fighting killer in this game, assuming it gets Confusion and either Dazzling Gleam or Psychic as its moveset. Psychic and Fairy are both strong against Fighting, both for offense and defense.

Nice. Now I just need the weather to change so they spawn more...

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!

Can confirm this. 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.

Groudon isn't too hard. Gyarados is always good, Ho-Oh with solar beam works as a great tank, and if it has fire blast, Vaporeon tanks it well too. 5 of us took it down the first time I tried.

One of the Seattle maps has a great raid map that allows you to note that you're going, and automatically dumps you into that raid specific discord chatroom. Everyone used it when legendaries first came out. Now, no one does sadly.

Had a little fun today. I'm swimming in Golden razzberries with time to kill, and see a level 5 raid starting in 30 minutes in a mall. As I get there, someone is knocking it down, I get there and 3 of them are left. I fill them up, and wait. He knocks them down twice, I fill them up again, and repeat. After about 10 minutes, the "gym is under attack, you can't put your Pokémon in here" rule drops. So I drop a blissey in, someone walks by and drops a lapras in, and after a long battle of attrition, the gym survived till the raid. Caught the weather boosted groudon. Also got 24 hyper potions for some reason.

Did I do something wrong, or is the incubator you get from spinning pokestops from today 'till christmas only one use?

I've been very casual with the game, but i'm pretty sure incubators were 3-use, so this is essentially a single incubator chopped up. How nice of them.

Ones from stops are 1 use. They did this last year too.

Back in the days when gyms were all about high CP poo poo, it made sense that trading would screwed competive balance. But now? Who gives a poo poo? Level 5 people can easily get coin as long as they fine a gym with an open spot.

Maybe make it so only first form evolutions can be traded (i.e. no trading a tyranitar, but larvitar is fine).

of course it should . instead of being designed to be played in San Fran it should be designed for where I live

You're upset because it took a long time to organize a raid, because it was snowing in your area. And your solution is at there should be no raids at all in snowing areas. There's a lot better solution and that you could just not raid at all when it's snowing outside.

How many people does it take to beat a Groudon? I never gave a poo poo about the legendary birds and whatever, but this guy looks cool. Sadly, I'm out in the willie-whacks and there are hardly any people. The most people I've run into at a raid was 3, a father son team and a teenager.

I've beat it with 5 people, the lowest being level 34. This was with it having fire blast. That was easier than when I beat it with 15 and it having a weather boosted solar beam.

Solar beam is horseshit since it almost guarantees you will get dodge glitched.

I figure >0 beats 0. I only let it catch when I'm otherwise occupied.

But yeah the occasional de-pairing/crashing is frustrating.

Yeah, I mainly use it while driving, and in terms of experience and candy, it works great. I just wish it gave higher chance than a regular pokeball throw with no bonus. Make the bonuses random or something.

Does the combination of high cp, total reliance on play rough to be viable and a complete absence of quick fairy type moves make Slaking the best fairy type attacker in the game despite a lack of STAB?

Gardevoir is very good, if a bit of a glass cannon. Also, it lacks a fairy fast type (is there a fairy fast type in the game?).

I caught tons of mudkips and torchics, but the weather was rarely sunny so I didn't get many Treeckos. And when I did, i usually didn't use pinaps as for once I was running low on them and starter Pokemon are a real pain to catch at higher levels.

Edit: I saw a Plusle earlier, so it looks like that switch didn't happen.

That's what I thought, but last night this popped up on the scanner at 1:14, notice that it has no weather boost(it was cloudy at the time):



So naturally I went over to get it because I wanted that fail whale, drat it, and it was close by. When I got there at 1:35, I got this weather boosted guy:



I was actually pretty bummed about it, tbh.

Anyways, so I'm leaning towards half an hour changes, or that they're at least possible if the weather changes but I haven't paid much attention to it. All I have to go on are those screenshots taken 20 mins apart that were in relatively close proximity to each other(about 1-2 miles)

I actually went to the lone Wailmer nest around Seattle and my cell service crapped out :(
