Drone Strike is the fast move, which ideally charges into Nobel Peace Prize.

Seems insane they wouldn’t run a Rocket event before Community Day.

But it also seemed insane they’d cut most of the desirable moves from Community Day too.

Fool that I am, I was optimistic about the Froakie spawn after getting to that part of the task the first day- the first mon of the new gen that spawned near me was a Froakie. These will be easy, I thought. Nope, that has still been the only one I've seen, can't get one now that I need it. They don't even show on the 'nearby' section because I have one, and things you don't have are what gets prioritized in that list.

For non-trainer battles, my personal pick would be Shadow Ball on Mewtwo. If you didn't get it, Psystrike is also a very solid pick. Mewtwo does some real fuckin' work with good legacy moves.

e: Ice Beam is great too but is non-legacy

Surprisingly I haven't seen any swamperts this season. Are they still around?

I see them from time to time, but probably the abomasbow and the aforementioned ShVictrebell scared 90% of the player base away from rolling one for GL, it's hella risky.

Considering we’re less than a week from Community Day they’re kinda out of time. It needed to be this weekend or some sort of weird mid week Rocket event.

There's that Jesse and James event coming up so that would be a logical time for it. Or maybe a Team Rocket Steals Christmas thing.

Is there a point to Mega Charizard Y? I did an M. Abomasnow raid today and used my X. I had the option to do the Y instead but it would be an extra 140 mega candy and 1500 lower CP. Is there some hidden stat boost or they just have 2 options with worse stats

Your Mega Charizard Y should have much higher CP than your Mega Charizard X. Charizard Y is for extra candy from flying raids while Charizard X is for more candy from dragon raids. I have a maxed out hundo (and a ton of energy) and I mega them depending on what raids I plan on doing.

"Mega Charizard X changes its typing from fire and flying to the often discussed fire and dragon. It has a CP ceiling of 3850, an attack stat of 273, defense of 213, and stamina of 186. In large groups, it has the capability to boost its teammates' fire and dragon-type moves.

Mega Charizard Y keeps the fire and flying dual-typing of its original form. It has a CP ceiling of 4455, an attack stat of 319, defense of 212, and stamina of 186. Trainers report that this form is the second-strongest of all the fire-type DPS options."

Ah ok the type changes, that makes sense. Definitely had a 1500 difference in favour of X though, 3900 for X and 2400 for Y. Mine is pretty under leveled because I use it more for great league, if that matters

It shouldn't, it should be at about 4400 with your Charizard Y. Must be a fun glitch.

I have been using my Greninja in GBL tonight and the thing is death incarnate, I have swept entire team lines using Naruto frog. It doesn't even need a CD move, at this point giving it something like Hydro Cannon would make the thing way too overpowered.

God bless the Kalos starters, every one is a complete banger in Great League.

In this current event the CP of Mega Charizard X is boosted. No matter what the initial level of your Charizard is, after mega evo, its CP will be equivalent of a level 40.

But I have a pretty large hole in my water coverage. Any recommendations for tweaks?
