I'm a little annoyed that Gen 5 starters aren't boosted at all. I was out for a couple hours last night and the only less common Pokemon I found were Foongus and Blitzle.

They'll do a gen 5 starter event soon, they always do stuff like that when a new generation comes out

:ssh: Cresselia actually isn't mythical; you could encounter it in-game in gen 4 post game without any prerequisites.

You're right that it's still a cool candidate for raids though. Deoxys was just in raids and that boy is indeed mythical for some reason (despite actually being in the same boat as Cress now). I hope October is spooky Darkrai month

He's mythical cause he had the balls to take on Rayquaza, I will fight you

I'm sitting on hundreds of Trapinch candy from getting loads of them out of 10ks and i'm still fine with it :v:

Flygon is basically discount Garchomp since they're both Dragon / Ground and since I doubt i'll ever get a drat Gible with my luck, I'll gladly take more Flygons :allears:

Good: catching a ton of Gibles and finally having enough candy to evolve the one I have into a Garchomp.

Bad: Garchomp's shiny is utter rear end. It's categorically the worst kind of shiny: the one that's completely indistinguishable from the normal. I'll take ugly shinies over the indistinguishable ones any day.

(Now shiny Mega Garchomp looks baller as gently caress but I have no idea how Niantic is going to handle Megas.)

Do you really think they're going to do megas after Game Freak gave them the axe this upcoming gen?

They axed them in s/m and then brought them right back in us/um. Watch them do the same drat thing to move units late cycle, just like they've already done.

They didnt axe them in SuMo, its built right there in the game on the last island, you could download the rest off of wifi via codes

However since Chandelure is fragile as gently caress, Giratina and later Reshiram will be better options, since glass cannons are only good for short battles where you have multiple of them.

Also might be tough getting a Seal Team Six of chandelures since you need six stone evos for it, all of which only available through research breakthroughs :psyduck:

Has anyone run in to an issue where friend battle won't register? I have two accounts and wanted to get the win against another trainer research done for Thousand Year Slumber. This morning i set it up to try to battle, and the screen half showed "such and such wants to battle" but it was during a transition to another screen and wouldnt let me accept or anything. Now when i try to send another invite it waits on the screen where you choose your party for the invite sender, and the invitee never gets the invitation. I've restarted my phone, restarted the game, re-installed the game, but those haven't solved it.

Seriously I was about to post this, haven't been able to do a single remote trainer battle with my boys since last Sunday no matter how many invites we send out

^Yes. There's still going to be times where Giratina-O is better and maybe a few where Tyranitar is, but Darkrai is pretty much the best Dark/Ghost attacker for the foreseeable future. So long as you care about raids.

Even does more than O-Form with STAB and everything? Daaaaaang gotta get me an army of those.

That says more about GameFreak's dumb typing decision to make ghost weak against ghost (and dark). I don't get the logic behind it. I mean, I know a good amount of pokemon weaknesses don't make sense, but I don't understand that one at all.

Because ghost would become unstoppable murder machines and turn all pokes into white walkers no matter how piddly their HP stat is

Oddly, I have the UI for "Player Nominations (Unlocks at level 40!)" on my settings screen, but only on my non-level-40 alt accounts. I'm not sure if that's a "There was a lottery and my main lost somehow", or "Their order of operations for that UI checks for above/below Level 40 first, and only checks your current country afterwards".

More likely is the Wayfarer announcement reminded a bunch of old high-level ingress players that submissions existed and it's causing a brief uptake in number of submissions in general as they log in and play with it.

Same here, my series vet 40 account doesnt have the feature show up at all, but both my junk accounts do (available at level 40). This is kind of weird cause in the blog post description it says that any accounts with baby accounts can't do the feature, and yet both my scrub ones have access to it? This game man :psyduck:

On a related note, Darkrai does not care about me or my feelings during raids :cry:

So I have bad luck catching a darkrai above 2100+ CP, really only seem to get the dregs here. I did however find out that I can get my 80% one to a flat 2500 sweet spot for Ultra League PvP. Is it worth powering it up to that point, or would I just be burning away my dust? Will there be any difference from the 'ideal' one with like 94% IVs or whatever with the same exact CP

1. Darkrai's attack means it's largely better off in Master
2. It's a relatively squishy Pokemon even there, and it's charge moves are on the expensive side. Snarl's very high energy gain helps a lot there, but it only goes so far
3. It doesn't have great matchups against the kings of Ultra or Master (Giratina-A and Dialga, respectively)
4. Nobody plays Ultra League

Basically, unless you know there's people that'll play Ultra or Master with you, keep Darkrai as a raider. And even then it's gonna be of limited usefulness.

Yeah I read about how his high attack stack sort of betrays it in that league, guess I'll just hold off till I get a more solid one to level up for raids
