Faced off against a Team Go Rocket Leader today. I got wrecked a few times at first, mainly because I couldn't think of the best counters.

I still haven't found one, but I missed getting to a Rocket Stop or two today. At any rate, having seen the lineups, I expect it to be kinda easy for some of my counters.

Another Community Day is coming up. For those who aren't familiar with this quick catch trick, it's very helpful:

https://youtu.be/ROqjZqyPT0E

Once you've go that down, you can take advantage of another trick to make sure you never waste another Pokeball on a dead or missed throw. After you've thrown the ball and you're in the Pokeball or Berry menu (depending on which hand you threw with), if the ball misses or the Pokemon attacks before it connects, you can select a ball or berry to instantly cancel that throw and save the ball.

Yeah the game had a huge initial burst of players, but it has been going strong ever since and is one of the highest grossing games on mobile

It's not new, but I just discovered the second part of the trick on my own a couple days ago. I don't think it's good to advertise it too much since it could be patched out at any time (although it has been around for over a year).

I did okay today; got four shinies, one of them with decent stats. I only got to do one Weezing raid, because the other two gyms near me had other raids going at the time.

I tried to take on another Rocket Leader. Last time I eventually beat Sierra, and then later beat her again on my first try. Today I just couldn't beat Arlo at all.

I'm fighting a cold and it's fairly cold out, so I didn't go out for too long. Got a shiny, one rocket stop away from setting up my first rocket leader showdown.

What CP levels are the leaders usually rocking? I usually have my usual stuff powered up only to around level 30...

Pretty dang high; I'm using fully powered teams and not doing well.

But I heard that their teams actually scale to your team's level. Not sure if it's true.

I took out Clif first try (super lucky for team match ups though). He had Meowth (almost 4000 cp), Sandslash (12Ks) and Infernape. I went with 3200 CP Metagross, 3400 Kyogre, 2800 Mamoswine.

Metagross died to Meowth burning one of Clifs shields, Kyogre finished off Meowth, burned the second shield against Sandslash and killed it with a low amount of hp left via fast move, and then got the hydro pump off immediately to one shot Infernape.

Which is why it helps if you lead with a Pokemon with a high-EP generating fast move and a 3-bar charge move. They block every time, so you can just toss 2 junk charge attacks to remove the shields.

Beat Sierra again today; she's a cakewalk with the right setup. She had Sneasel, Lapras, and Houndoom. I used Machamp to beat Sneasel, switched to Metagross for Lapras, switched back to Machamp to finish Houndoom. My third didn't even matter.

I've finally gotten a few Drillbur now, with enough candy to evolve one and power it up.. but they all have absolute shit stats. The ones I've hatched are basically bare minimum, and the ones I caught have rock bottom attack.

Yeah, you don't want to waste candy powering it up. Just find one over lv30 with half-decent IVs. If it's a 35 with 9atk, that's the equivalent of a lv32 with 15 attack. Then you have the extra candy towards evo'ing another one.

Eventually Landorus-T is going to come out and he has better ground DPS anyway.

Cause of the guaranteed charged tm drops and increased level 3 raid rate, I've been going out relatively often. Picked up 17 and a Ferroseed since it started, which I'm thrilled with.

Haven't run into that many t3s but, in general, raid enthusiasm seems low everywhere I raid because Cobalion has been in-game for 3 weeks so far.

Ran into Sierra today by accident.

Her 10K Sneasel, 7K Sableye and 15K (maybe??) Alakazam vs my Swampert, Metagross and Smack Down/Stone Edge Tyranitar Thought mud shot + hydro cannon would at least charge fast enough to get both shields, but it didnt and Sneasel took out both Swampert and Metagross with each burning one of Sierras shields a piece. Tyranitar came in with a shield left and proceeded to finish Sneasel and then wipe the rest of her team (Alakazam had fire punch). 0 star Sneasel reward

Before now, they were really rare since combee itself wasn't that common.

That phone shaking device I ordered arrived, and was missing a part. There are two pieces needed to suspend it in the air without hindering its movement, and one of the two pieces wasn't in the box.

It took some thinking outside the box and rigging, but I managed to suspend the other side. Placed the phone in it, started the motion, and ten minutes later I had a hatched egg.

This is a bit of a game changer.

I don't have many of those either.

Some clarification on the buddy system from what I've experienced/heard:

- you don't have to hit a Pokestop that you've never hit before to get a heart; just one that you haven't hit that day. I can't remember the last time I spun a brand new Pokestop, but I still got a heart for it today

- training with a team leader counts as battling, as long as your buddy is in the battle party

Then run him as an ice attacker =p

tbh, fought Arlo today and Mamowine fared pretty well. If I bothered buying a ground move, I could have swept Arlo's Scyther + Magnezone with him alone.

That's good to know. Saves me some effort.
