Current Events > Pokemon GO General the Third: SwSh caused the second one to purge.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Dammit lol. Ah well, thanks anyway, mate.

For that matter, @DrizztLink and @PatrickMahomes I don't know if I have you guys added either.

---

Pretty sure we are.

What's your name?

---

I'm LostForest in-game as well.

---

I think I have you. I'm dew0ttm8

I almost defeated Ario. I was so close. One more hit and her pokemon was history. But that b*** hit her super charged attack. And ended me just like that. God damnit I was so sick. ;(

they managed to make arlo harder :(.
16k salamence makes potato chips out of a magneton (should of used mamoswine) but i was valuing defense over attack, the fucker had bite instead of a dragon attack.

working on smacker Ttar but he's not powered up for rocket battles (plan to use him in some form).
---

Salamence can have Fire Fang which is going to tear through Steel or Ice types, and Bite is going to hurt a lot against anything that doesn't resist it. If you have Smack Down Ttar that'd be a good option.
---

I use Mamoswine.

Worst case scenario I have a Dragonite to fuck him in the face with.

Gio is a pain in the ass.

Moltres will be no problem at all but Persian and Cloyster fucking rocked me.

---

Shit I have neither of you guys lol.

GET FUCKED GIOVANNI NOBODY BEATS ME THIRTEEN TIMES

Ryperior almost kills Persian, Mamoswine finishes and drops Garchomp, Tyranitar takes down Moltres.

Got 2 of each TM, a fuckload of pots and revives, and quite a few candies.

So how many "Hatch 7 Eggs" tasks have y'all completed hoping for shiny Alolan Vulpix? How many paid incubators have you used to speed up the process/get through more of them?

Because lol sorry, that was all a waste

What a fuckin company.

i really fucking hate it when you got a great event and the winds come fucking over.... there's 4/7 windy days and need 50k distance to get 50k stardust ><.

not even going to break the limit with just 5 runs. double timed it today and plan to tomorrow.
may have to use the sock method to get it up there.

?

---

shaking a phone in a sock will rack up distance through google fit since it simulates walking. it's tiresome to do so.

My trick is just to leave the game open in my apartment - second floo of a seven floo building fucks with the GPS, but not SO much that it gets locked on GPS not found.

---

Got a few more catches to get to level 30. I better start getting perfects damnit. Don't have any yet.

Lets be honest, the eggs are basically loot boxes too. So you pay or struggle through with one incubator just for the privilege of an encounter thats bugged to be shiny locked

---

Jesus, Shadow Moltres is expensive to purify.

I can TM Return off of it, right?

Return fucking sucks.

---

Nice! New Unova Pokemon just got added in today!

That and trade evolutions are finally a thing now, randomly.

---

Right when I'm about to get a Machamp.

Naturally.

that's ftw wish i could play (if i decide to go outside, my umbrella will get destroyed).
as for moltres please use a TM to rid of return and give it a move of your choosing (flying is viable for moltres) if i remember. fire is also good.

there's threat against lucario as the fighting type since timburr's family is released.

You can't TM to any Flying charged moves on Moltres, Sky Attack was event exclusive.

Conkeldurr doesn't really threaten Lucario, it just takes Machamp's place as the slower but bulkier (situational) option.
---

Isn't Moltres the top Fire option anyway?

Reshiram is top, but unreleased. Chandelure is currently top iirc, with Blaziken right after.

---

My information is all outdated.

Blaziken is rocking Counter/Blast Burn, I like the combo.

---

crap... i was bent on using moltres. guess i'll have to settle for blaziken/charizard and then entei/chandelure whenever i get those.
---

Completely forgot I had this. Pretty good stats too.

---

Can't find any of these new guys.

---

I only found Karrablast the day the update came out. Which, knowing Niantic, was the only day the new stuff will be common.

---

---

I did the trade evo for a Machoke.

We both traded 3 stars, ended up with 0 stars.

---

Ughhhh they completely shitted on Archaeops. In mainlines, he's got great attack and speed, but Defeatist fucks him over. I figure without that ability in Go, he'd be a rock attack god. But nah, they have him one of the most ass movepools possible. No rock type quick moves. No flying charge moves either so you can't even use him as a flying attacker.

And he gets such a nice beefy max CP of like 3300 too ughhh.

I have no idea how the "Visit a new place" thing works for buddies.

I haven't gone anywhere new in days and I keep getting it.

---

100km walking reward + four 10k hatches + two 5k hatches all on a single star piece = a nice ~130k stardust this morning, plus a 96% Axew, Litwick w/ 49 candies, and Gible w/ 53 candies among those 10k hatches, woohoo.

Any gym spin works for that.

Like literally any?

It means visit a stop you haven't visited that day yet, while having your buddy out, I think.

---

Oh, gotcha.

I STILL haven't found any new Pokemon.

---

A Pokestop only counts if you've never visited it before.

Any and all gyms count, though. And yeah, your buddy needs to be out and about with you to count, of course.

Holy shit how did you hit 100km?? I work a job that has me walking all day, take several walks a week around town, key my phone at the gym, and I still only hit 25km most weeks.

you could easily reach that with one of those desktop step counters they mimic jogging. i thought about buying one but they cost 25$ with shipping. my hands are frozen. umbrella is fucked over and i caught 6 cryogonal in a snowy biome (seem to have ended right after my poke-run).

it's going to be windy/rainy tomorrow so i'll have an extra day to figure what i'm going to do to salvage these runs have 2 month's of this shit (easy way is to buy another umbrella).

he said Dog... that alone can rack up distance. both sides benefit.

Are you getting Adventure Sync distance at work/gym? I probably get 20-25 km/week just from AS at work, at least that much from drift at home, then just getting in walks (fair amount of dog sitting in recent weeks helps) and normal gameplay.

I do have it turned on, but sometimes I feel like it doesn't work properly. I should pay closer attention to it I guess.

---

I know it doesn't work well for a lot of people, but I guess I've been lucky. Seems to work pretty well on its own, and when I know I'm going to be moving around a lot with the game closed I set Google Fit to track a 'walk' and that's been very reliable.
---

I still need two more Machop candy.

Did an EX raid today, got fuck-all for rewards.

---

I haven't gotten one of those EX raid invitations in a long time. Granted I've never been able to go because they've always been at like 2pm on a weekday and some of us have jobs, but I'm gold badge at several EX raid gyms and feel like it's been forever.

---

I got one from Virizion raiding earlier, first time.

Gold berries, pots, revives.

And an ok Regi.

---

Yeah I got another EX invitation recently and surprise surprise it's at 1pm next Thursday.

I have to think it's intentional at this point. They don't actually want people to go to them lol.

---

Youd think the raid time would actually be based on the time and day of the week you did the raid...
