Elephanthead posted:Now appearing in 12 km eggs too!!!!! Ugh. Now with the reduced hatch distance bonus gone, even I'm not looking forward to hatching anything in those loving things. And that's even with me jogging about 6-7km almost every day. With a super incubator, 12km eggs should take 8km to hatch so I'm forced to add extra distance if I want to polish them off in a single run. With the egg pools being so lovely, I've been sticking to hatching 7km eggs to get as many Galaran Darumakas as I can and getting trade fodder from long distance friends that I can use with my alt and even that's now a pain without the bonus using the free incubator. At this point, my strategy is to hoard 12km eggs and then batch hatch them with a star piece running. As an added bonus, I can do it during the Adventure Sync cash out, my field research reward, and my 7 day catch streak (I managed to get the latter two to fall on Mondays) for even more stardust. The only wrinkle in that plan is that I need to pre-walk the eggs before the Adventure Sync reward becomes available because I'm not good enough to jog 8km within a single half an hour star piece duration. (Really 20-25 minutes since the time when distance gets applied to eggs can be variable and having some buffer time is a good idea considering that distance tracking in the game can be finicky.)

Oh awesome! An event November 1st and 2nd where Alolan Marowaks spawn frequently from incense. That’s perfect since I really want one for Great League... Oh. Wait. Latin America only?? What the gently caress?

They're probably going to do an Alolan Marowak raid day where it knows the move "Shadow Bone" which is a great move (slightly weaker but cheaper Shadow Ball). I hate this idea because I recently got a good stat Alolan Marowak but all new moves have to be event exclusive now to invalidate your current collection

They've explicitly said there's going to be A-Wak raid day, and Shadow Bone just got added to the game master, and A-Wak is the only Pokemon that learns Shadow Bone, and basically every raid day they've had in the past has come with an event exclusive move, so yeah, Shadow Bone A-Wak is coming. It's Ghost-Type Drill Run but it has a 20% chance to drop the opponent's defense.

Good news everybody! November research encounters won’t suck, cause it’s Togetic! I’d love me a ML Togekiss. Beats the hell out of bad dex filler for four weeks. Jigglypuff spotlight hour is kinda neat too!

I caught a shitload of Togetic during Go Fest and somehow managed to never get a good one for any league. Looking forward to getting a 15-14-x or better to his those sweet bulkpoints/breakpoints for ML. In case anyone is wondering, Sirfetchd has strong potential in all 3 leagues. I wrote out a long post about it but it turns out I had something weird going on in the simulator and I don't feel like starting over. It's most interesting at Rank 6 in open Great League; putting the hurt on Galarian Stunfisk, Skarmory, Bastiodon, and other dark/rock/steel while doing strong damage to Azumarill (or winning with energy advantage or 2-shield scenario). It is PvPoke rank 6 in Premier Ultra! It has similar match-ups to machamp but does beat machamp (who is ranked #1 for Premier UL). It's rank 34 compared to Machamp's 25 in Open UL; similar win-loss numbers but I see a fair number common meta pokemon that machamp simply does a better job against. Could be quite good on the right team in Master Premier since it beats Metagross (with 1 or 2 shields) where the other fighters do not. It can destroy or be destroyed by garchomp depending strongly on baiting / not getting baited. Flips to a loss against gyarados and machamp, flips to a win against conkeldur and swampert compared to Machamp. Looks like it pairs well with Metagross (but so does everything lol), where Metagross is the safe switch, and Togekiss as the lead. Not likely to be useful in open ML. Catch them while you can, they are only around for 1 day. Don't bother with Galarian ponyta raids since they will be in 7km eggs soon.

Confirmed: G-Farfetch must be your buddy while making excellent throws, but does not have to be walking with you (do not need to feed). Confirmed: Excellent throws are hard to make.

Yes, maybe with deino hatchrates. Better to just spend a free raidpass and get 1 now then to engage in their lovely lootbox system. It uses the same candy as normal ponyta. So easy enough to do.

This is very true. Without the pressure of a "make five excellent throws in a row" quest, I just went like 6-7 excellents in a row. The last one was on a jumping G-Fetch! Sir L'Orange now exists

No time limit. You could make several throws or all 10 and then put him away for later and not lose progress.

Man, I was riding high in Master League Premier a week ago, and now -- with the same team -- I'm losing match after match. I guess only the mega tryhards are still playing in this league, and the margin of error has dropped so much that I just can't hang.

Played a little ML Premiere tonight and while I’m still terrible, it was a lot of fun! Had a 4-1 set and a 1-4 set along the way. The 1-4 I lost a couple winnable games due to mistakes, but I think I’m improving a little. I’m running Dragonite/Metagross/Magnezone. Magnezone owns sooooooooo much. By far the best investment I’ve made yet for PVP. My Dragonite has the suboptimal move set of Breath/Claw/Draco Meteor instead of Hurricane. I’m under no illusions it’s good, but it’s so much fun when you catch an opponent with a Draco Meteor they’re not expecting. Blew up a Mamoswine that way. If I ever get serious about PVP I’ll probably swap it out for Hurricane but for now it’s fun and really most of the time I’m spamming Dragon Claw anyway. The big thing I need to practice is how to deal with teams running Swampert. Some games I handle him fine. Others I misjudge when to shield and eat an Earthquake that just wrecks me. On the upside I’m getting better at slipping Earthquakes through in the Metagross mirror. In short, POGO PVP is super fun.

Metagross vs Swampert: (assuming this is after first switch) Straight Earthquake If they shield, try to get another shield off. Save shields for Magnezone. If they EQ, good for Dragonite. If they just Hydro Cannon, they have Sludge Wave, kinda bad for Dragonite. If they don’t shield, spend shields and farm down. Switch advantage more important.

I guess only the mega tryhards are still playing in this league, and the margin of error has dropped so much that I just can't hang. I'm in the same boat. I had bad lead matchup every match I played recently, which means I should change things. Regardless it's just so tedious to play - even though I don't run a safe switch so matches are faster, the time of charge moves takes so drat long half the pvp battle is just waiting on those. I'd rather have it be automatic and give you 1 second to choose shield and be done with it just to speed stuff up. It made more sense to have slow fights back when I would only get 5 or 10 a day via walking but c'mon, if I have a bad lead matchup I might as well just quit rather than spend 2 minutes in a lost fight. Also the pool is definitely smaller, I averaged about 60% of wins for my first 2000 matches but this season I'm at 82/164 which is brutal

What a good day I caught a shiny Misdreveous, and then won five in a row to get to rank nine for the first time ever. Went with a Maxed out Garchomp with Outrage/Sand Tomb, a maxed Metagross with MM and Psychic, and a maxed Shadow Snorlax with Frustration(that will be tmed away come the next event) and Skull bash. No one ever sees skull bash coming.

Used calcy to determine the best moves for my shadow politoed and burned 15 charge tms before I realized earthquake is legacy. Probably worth it since bubble is ranked better than mud shot, but would it last long enough to even use it? E: it's late and I forgot I asked this question when I first realized it was 100% for great league. Earthquake it is! Oyster fucked around with this message at 06:35 on Oct 25, 2020 |
