Kalbear Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 The valentine's day timed challenge, which requires latios, latias, umbreon and espeon (and alolamola if you haven't done that by a quest). And yeah, it sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poobah Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Oh raids, right. I got a bit hung up on "team gym raids" like that was some new thing. I've been using a discord server to find people to join my raids via remote passes and just using my single free raid pass per day and haven't had much difficulty at all with them. The only issue I had is that I'm living in a pretty small town so there aren't many gyms, which means I'm at the mercy of what raids decide to spawn with the worry that the right ones won't be spawned when I'm available to go out and host them. I'm holding on to the free remotes they gave out for the upcoming mewtwo and bird trio raids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxom 1974 Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Team Gym Raids threw me too. They totally suck. Sure I need 25 more raids and 1.5 million XP just to get to level 41...but raid can be kinda meh in general... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLastWolf Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Augmented reality game Pokemon Go has landed up in an Indian court over allegations it is hurting the religious sentiments of millions of vegetarians. The high court in Gujarat state was asked to ban the game because its images of eggs in places of worship were "blasphemous" to Hindus and Jains. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.bbc.com/news/amp/world-asia-india-37294286&ved=2ahUKEwjc0ua3yPLuAhVYfSsKHfSyCsQQFjACegQIAhAG&usg=AOvVaw2_qIEh7FuX98-xhDiFSsem&cf=1 Blah blah blah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostlydragon Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 I'm really hating the need to capture legendaries for these challenges. I did Latias earlier and I just couldn't catch her. I won the battle but apart from the rare candies and xp, there's no real reward. They either need to make catching legendaries easier orchange the reward requirements.

Poobah Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 I've gotten pretty in to raiding after a slow start, albeit just using my daily free pass. Do those of you who're struggling want some advice? I don't wanna offer any that's unwelcome though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well sort of, I mean I can win one when there's no one around locally anyway. What I do is I use This Discord to find people who want to join me remotely - I won't say it's a guaranteed win because you often get people who join who have no idea what pokemon to bring, or are quite low level, though just as often you get really strong trainers and most often it's enough of a mix that you get through albeit not with a ton of time left on the clock. Still I've literally never had trouble finding 5 people to join any legendary raid boss there, once you're set up with their bot and understand how it works it's very fast and efficient to post that you have a raid and get interest, people will be selected randomly from those who want to join and it's their responsibility to add you if you're the host so it's very little work on my end. In terms of picking my team and figuring out what the best mons to power up in general I've found the Silph Road community and their subreddit to be invaluable, as well as a number of other sites that produce guides, infographics, and ratings of pokemon for pogo, like LeekDuck and the PoGo part of Gamepress.

Greywolf2375 Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 With the Go Rocket leaders changing their lineups, what are folks using to get past Cliff's Aerodactyl? I have a perfect Mamoswine and a very solid Electivire but they get crushed - I've tried a Machamp and it gets mostly through it but still gets beaten when they Aero is at 25% or something. Same thing with Sierra's Hippo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalbear Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 For Sierra I go with Zekrom, Swampert, and Rhyperior. If she has hippo swampert works great. Zekrom takes down Carvanha without needing charged attacks, and I use its charged attacks as soon as I get them in order to drop the shields. For any team rocket - remember that you get a massive advantage in that you get 2-3 free attacks without their attacking any time you switch pokemon or any time after any charged attack. Cliff and Aerodactyl is a massive pain. I've been using Rhyperior with rock wrecker to lead and if it's getting wrecked, will switch to Lucario with powerup punch to stun lock it. Lucario with Power up punch against team rocket is absolutely insane - it's a 3-bar charge move that boosts your fast attack and charged attack damage, and if you switch mons and use it they'll only get one or two fast attacks in between PUP charges.

Maltaran Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 It depends what type Aerodactyl's fast move is - if it's a dark move then a good fighting type will be resistant, if it's a rock move then Rhyperior is probably your best bet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poobah Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 For Cliff's Aerodactyl I'd suggest a Vaporeon with Water Gun and Aqua Tail - it's a commonly available and quite tanky pokemon and those moves allow you to nearly spam him into a stunlock since rockets take a while to start attacking again after each charge move you use, this also has the advantage of taking down both of his shields quickly. Kyogre also works but obviously a Kyogre is a bigger investment to get up to power, and waterfall/surf is a bit slower to get going, albeit harder hitting.

Greywolf2375 Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Thanks - I have one Lucario and was able to boost it up a good amount; made the difference. Got a ton of Vaporeon but nothing that is really good. Still struggling to get 4 of the evolutions of Evee so I'll have plenty of chances for a good one.
