From my local discord:

quote:

Tips for anyone trying to meet the level 43 requirements. Meltan count as legendaries for the catch 5 legendaries requirement. Transfer a Pokemon to Pokemon Home to get a Meltan box. Also a Poliwrath with Mud Shot and PowerUp Punch against Blanche's Great League team can get 14 Super effective moves per set if you don't do any of the bubbles on the charge moves.

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.

What moves you got on scarffrog? I actually found a pretty decent froakie even if the CP is only like 17.

The good part is with the Eevee poo poo, you can pre-walk your Umbreon and Espeon and then just make them your buddies to evolve when you get that task.

The supereffective attacks count in battle league or training: I used a Poliwrath against Blanche with Mud Shot and Superpower, and not swiping the charge bubbles meant I knocked out about 10 charge attacks per fight.

I don't think you have to win in the battle league, just battle. I did a 10cp trio and lost all my matches.

Save as many shadow Zubats as you can, they cost the least to purify.

Has anyone else dealt with trades, and people that just want to look at your phone and all the Pokemon you have? I probably posted about this before, but I've had several lucky trades with the dude who picks out Pokemon and we decide ahead of time, usually shenny legendaries, but when we meet he's already got the one we agreed on. This isn't bother me because hey sometimes you get lucky with trades or catches, what bothers me is that I save the Pokemon for him, and then when we meet up he always just wants to look at my phone and see what he can get. I finally snapped this morning when we agreed on a lucky trade, and he said all he wanted to do was look through my phone and see what I have. I told him even without covid I would not give him my phone, and he started pressing me to just make a video of all 400 shinies I've got. Has anyone else dealt with this kind of thing before?

Edit: I've told him to just make me a list of the Pokemon he wants, his reply is always at he never keeps a list, it's all spur of the moment decisions for him. That doesn't work for me when we've already picked out the ones we want so we can do the trade from the safety of our cars. last time you noticed I was getting a little impatient because he couldn't decide between three Pokemon for Lucky trade we had already decided.

I think level 49 or 50 requires lucky trades. You�ll be there by the time he makes up his mind.

Hah, to get to lvl 47 I need 18 million XP. He still won't have, he says he's someone who never decides ahead of time. I told him we trade once he has, I'm not standing in a parking lot or sitting in a car near his while he demands to see my phone, again, to choose. Pick, decide, this ain't loving Burger King.

I've had a pretty strong this season start with a team of Galvantula, Dewgong w/both community day moves and a Scrafty. Having two guaranteed attack debuffers usually means even on a loss on lead/switch, I can cripple the enemy mon enough to get more energy farm than I'd otherwise risk or win otherwise close losses afterwards.

What community day moves for Dewgong? Do you mean legacy?
