Rhyhorn community day.


the other group wasn't pleased. but rock wrecker rhyperior will do great in raids.
i have a rhyperior on the ready to evolve when it comes time (might have to retire the main rhyperior whenever he gets leveled enough).

hatched 3 darmanitan today. evolved one for dex entry. saving one if somehow he gets something good in community day.

Man, the CP formulas don't make sense in this game. Darmanitan has ludicrously high attack in the real games, but his Max CP in Go is like 3100 or something.

On the plus side, a few more power ups left to max out my Gurdurr and I can evolve him into Conkeldurr.

No, I mean literally he's the only pure Flying type until Rookidee and Corvisquire in Gen 8 (not counting Arceus-Flying and Silvally-Flying, because they're typings induced by held items)

Attack is worth the same as the other two stats combined, which are HP and "Stamina" (defense). It has decent HP (105) but base 55 defense and special defense is pretty shitty

Oh wow, I didn't realize they weighed attack equally with HP and defense. That makes a LOT more sense now. Thanks for the heads up dude.

That CP formula is also why a lot of the common Pokemon that don't have a lot of attack strength yet have considerable bulk are ideal candidates for Great League Battles. Azumarill, Sableye, Registeel, Skarmory, Altaria, Medicham, Whiscash, etc.

Medicham and Azumarill are technically some of the hardest hitting Pokemon in the main series with their abilities doubling their max Attack stat, but in GO they are weak and have much lower max CP compared to say, Machamp and Gyarados.

Yeahhh I learned that the hard way lol. Medicham's one of my favorite Pokemon, and I was so excited when they released it in one of the Hoenn waves. Ehen I finally caught a maxed out Meditite, I evolved it and its CP was like 1800 lol.

I BARELY lost my last battle this time around. Like one attack either way would have tipped it.

Also every single time I end up winning one because the other person either disconnects or rage quits.

not a good round today in battle league. he's not going to like rank 7 if he gets to that point.

1-4
3-2

they're getting smarter.

The naming trick, but each one only works once

Leafeon and Glaceon only evolve on the grass or ice lures

Espeon and Umbreon are guarantee provided you meet the requirements:

1. Have Eevee as buddy
2. Walk 10km and earn 2 candy
3. Evolve while Eevee is still your buddy in daylight for Espeon, or night for Umbreon

And Leafeon and Glaceon are guaranteed if you are within the range of a Mossy or Glacial Lure.

Only ones that are random are Jolteon, Vaporeon and Flareon.

I hate the fact that there's a meta to battling. If you ain't using Azumarill/Altaria/Skarmory, you're dead

You can't currently, each season might have different rules, but we won't know for sure until it changes. They might introduce all 3 formats in one season, with easy rewards in Great League and rare rewards in Master League.

I need a damn Altaria, can't believe I trashed so many good Great League Pokemon willy nilly. O was never into PvP before but now I'm hooked lol. I legit get steamed when I'm walled or hard countered.

I haven't even used that new battle feature yet. I have been getting a decent amount of new pokemon in eggs and tasks though. I don't know any of them though. I got some ice snot bear, a few gear thingees, enough regional monkeys to evolve one (evolved form looks weird as fuck imo), a bunch of those venompede things, a few rock crab things and some weird thing I don't even remember >_>
