probably metagross, tyranitar, and dragonite. is it out yet?Oh, they said Ultra and Best Friends can battle anytime, anywhere, which means those internationally sending gifts have their efforts paid out. You can casually battle with each other from here.
Anyway, anyone wants to now make wild guess on which 'mons will dominate the meta?
p sure it drops a stone occasionallySo are sinnoh Stones given out to winning PvP battles? And if so are they often? I have about zero interest in actually doing these, but if I can grind out sinnoh Stones with my friends that be great.
Blissey dominates the lower leagues, Mewtwo dominates masterOh, they said Ultra and Best Friends can battle anytime, anywhere, which means those internationally sending gifts have their efforts paid out. You can casually battle with each other from here.

If you infinite switch you autolose anyway because when you switch the mon you switch into will take damage no matter what, and you just wont get an attack off.From what I read, Blissey is going to struggle a bit, because in Trainer Battle, Pokemon don't get energy for damage taken. Blissey can't use its massive HP as a secondary energy reservoir. She only gets energy from her own fast attacks, which means a lot less Charge Moves being used.
Also, switching is allowed, but on a cooldown. No infinite switching back and forth.
So you'll have to think carefully about doing it, because if you switch and then your opponent also switches, you could be stuck in an even less favourable matchup until the cooldown is up.
The question was: can both trainers switch back and forth, at will, to counter whatever Pokemon the opponent just switched to? Answer is no, because of a cooldown.If you infinite switch you autolose anyway because when you switch the mon you switch into will take damage no matter what, and you just wont get an attack off.
I'm also interested to see how efficient some previously useless, highly defensive Pokemon will be in lower CP Trainer Battles. Things like the Regis, Latias, Suicune, Giratina and Cresselia. Is Lugia the next best thing ever?I actually prepared myself with things I luckily have below 2500. I'm thinking of current core of Metagross, Milotic, and Venusaur/Ampharos. Ugh, I want to refrain myself from using Blissey and Fighting types, but looks like soon it can't be helped. I'll see if I can also run my old prestige training Poliwrath. Protect shield limitation... I have really bad feeling about Blissey ruining this....
Well, I'll also want to try Latias. About time she shines... probably. Stat-wise she should have better TDO than Latios in CP-limited battles, but Thunder and Psychic sucks. Latios at least got powerful SBeam.Well, this, and FoMO again with their shiny forms probably released with exclusive moves.
I'm wondering about prospect of Latias and Cresselia in CP-limit battles, but....
I've heard that catching alolan marowak will count for that task, if you can find the raid & people to do it.Got another Sinnoh Stone last week so I'm 1/2 since they've made them non-guaranteed. More Meltan will spawn when opening the Mystery Box too.
Still need to find a Cubone for the Meltan tasks. I wish they'd make Pokemon required for research tasks available in regular tasks after the end of events...
