The two instances I can think of where Dragapult is doing something with its arms and/or legs are: 1) eating kibbles in Pokemon Journeys: 2) launching dreepy at Flygon while perched on a rock in Twilight wings: I don't mind too much that it doesn't use its arms for much; it feels very...

This card from Cosmic Eclipse (jp: remix bout) gets a nice follow up in Mega Brave:

In general, I dislike it when any cool mon is unavailable until late game. Obviously the most common offenders are pseudos, who either are completely unavailable until late game or who are available early but completely useless for 40-50 levels (I'm looking at you, :dreepy:). But I think the...

I solo'd Chien-Pao last night, going in essentially blind. I tried to use body press corv not knowing Chien-Pao had a) haze and b) the shortest timer I've ever seen. I shouldn't have bothered iron defense-ing, since the perma boost from the defense cheer was doing more than enough damage and if...

So there seems to be a bug happening at this very moment that's causing every Pokemon to flee. That's, uh.... that's new. Never occurred to me to add "break core mechanic of the game" to my Niantic bug bingo card. (Edit: seems to be fixed now)

Thoughts on the presents: Champions -I'm glad we got more info on Champions, but needing victory points to recruit and customize mons sounds just as grindy as getting mons in the main game, and has me feeling like the simplification (and actual in-game information) about allocating stat points...

I hope we do less than 100k over the 1 million, I don't want to find out what happens if I accidentally feed my Pokemon tera sharts.

Finger on a cursed Mankey's paw curls closed. Gen X: Introduces grass- and fire-type switch out moves, indirectly nerfing u-turn by giving Rillaboom and Incineroar stab switch out options.

More good ghost news: https://pokemongo.com/en/post/ultra-unlock-steel-and-scales Doesn't say anything about how the form change will work, but given that it's partly gbl locked, seems like it will work like Morepeko.

Well, maybe they'll adhere to SwSh and we won't be able to use anything other than Zacian and Zamazenta, since Eternatus blocks dynamax :P As for Global Go fest, I enjoyed it this year. Got a pretty good shiny haul and was able to do enough Zamazenta raids to crown at least one, and I got the...

Related, but an annoyance, is that no one in the Masters 8 tournament used any Alolan mons. I complained about this before in the adaptations thread: Like, obviously they opted to go with mons they had in the main series games (plus Iris' Best Wishes teams), but they couldn't think of a way to...

This reddit thread result I checked before posting claimed it does, and it certainly felt like I was doing less damage in the raid I didn't get the cheer off, but I can't claim I verified it for certain.

I managed this solo after a few attempts with Crowned Zamazenta, but it definitely didn't feel like it would be very consistent. I ran behemoth bash (to build tera) / iron defense / body press / reflect with max HP and Def and tera fighting. While Zamazenta can handle several earthquakes in the...

I wonder if the discourse around Pokemon games would be a little bit more positive if people tended to view each generation as a natural, gradual evolution of the previous game in a franchise with shorter release cycles rather than "prototypes." Like, if we compare SM to SV, the "step up" looks...

There are also still 5* iron valiant and roaring moon paradox raids to do, and presumably something like Gimmighoul rerun (or straight up Gholdengo?) for the world championships. It would be nice, though I'm not going to hold my breath, if they also did paradox beasts and koraidon/miraidon...

Gigalith's pokedex entrees across generations repeatedly mention that it absorbs sunlight in order to fire energy beams, and the sum total effect of this lore is that it's a physical attacker that learns solar beam. Gigalith's SpA stat is so low that a solar beam from it will barely tickle a...

While Legends is a bit more experimental, perhaps, I don't think it's experimental purely for the sake of testing new ideas for use in the "traditional" titles. For one, for a "Legends" series to have any meaning there needs to be something that sets it apart from the traditional series. That's...

I ended up using Crowned Zamazenta to solo this. Iron defense, body press, and light screen to handle Porygon's attacks. Used Behemoth bash a couple of times to build tera. I forget already if I let it faint or not, but either way after the stat reset and getting back up to +6 defense and...

Niantic/Scopely giving players a "choice":

I agree with Bakugames, the joke of emergency exit just being wimp out is what makes it great. I remember during the marketing period, before Golisopod's ability was revealed, someone here commented how funny it would be if Wimpod evolved into such a cool looking mon like Magikarp into Gyarados...
