Yeah if The Pokemon Company has commanded Niantic's about move sets, forcing moves not available to a species in the main series to stop spawning in Go, they will never permit Slaking to avoid his gimmick.

They got rid of Shedinja's gimmick (read: only thing that makes it useable) though.

I think I would say to my daughters if they were to ask me this question... A shitpost is the greatest gift that you can give someone, the ultimate gift of giving and don't give it to someone lightly, that's what I would say.
Finally got into a Tyranitar raid tonight and caught an 80% IV absolute unit of a bloke. Boosted him up to 2,459 which makes him one of my best blokes. Plus the walk to the raid hatched an Eevee, which gave me enough to evolve my first Espeon, who started at 2,509.

A Good Day.

Is there an idots guide for what's changed since release, I've been bullied into to playing to get my kids a meltan and a mew.for the switch.
I've got a poo poo load of Aug 16 pidgeys, caterpie and weadles are these jsut trash or worth saving for lucky trades?
Also gym coins if I hold a gym over night do I get coins for the time held before midnight when it gets kicked out in the morning?

You get 1 coin every 10 minutes a pokemon defends a gym. You get the coins when the pokemon is defeated and returns to you. There is a maximum of 50 coins per day you can earn from gym defense (after 8 hours and 20 minutes of defense). If you have a pokemon that has defended a gym continuously for several days, you still only get 50 coins. If you have already earned 50 coins, you get nothing. The clock resets at midnight. You might get 50 coins at 11:59pm and then another 50 coins at 12:01am. If you have several pokemon defending multiple gyms, each of them earn 1 coin every 10 minutes, but the 50 cois per day maximum does not change.

Gyms now have a fixed number of defender slots, 6. Only 1 pokemon of the same species can defend a gym at a time. So only 1 blissey. Different evolutions are allowed, so a blissey and a chansey can defend the same gym. Legendary pokemon cannot defend gyms (except for meltan). You can feed berries to defending pokemon to raise their motivation, earn stardust and a small chance of getting candy for the pokemon you fed.

There are raids now. You get 1 free raid pass per day, but they don't stack. But you can go to 2 free raids in 1 day if use your "yesterday's" pass on the first raid. Raids have tiers, from 1 to 5. Tier 1 and 2 are easily soloable. Tier 3 raids become soloable at around level 30. Tier 4 raids require 2-3 people and Tier 5 raids require 3-6 people.

There is also pvp. You and a friend pick a team of 3 pokemon and then you tap tap tap until one of you wins.

There is also trading. You can trade a pokemon once with a friend to earn cand for that pokemon. If the traded pokemon were caught within 10 km of each other, both players get 1 candy for the pokemon they traded away. At 10-100km, you get 2 candies. Over 100km, you get 3 candies. The stats of the traded pokemon are randomized (but not the level), so trade away your pokemon with lovely stats but high level and your friend might get a really good pokemon. There is a chance that both of the traded pokemon become lucky, which means that they have guaranteed to have at least decent stats and the stardust cost of powering up the pokemon is halved.

There is weather, which affects what pokemon spawn and what level they are on.

I'm probably being overly literal about the game's grammar but the raid boss change news saying "include...Kyogre and Groudon" makes me afraid that the titans and Lati@s will be in the mix or be featured for a few weeks too. Guess we'll see at 1pm today.

I'm not sure if I should feel dirty or if I should feel sorry for the jerk who spent over an hour trying to kick out my CP 2455 Blissey. In my defense, my Bronzong was barely in the gym when it got attacked and the only other person in was there for less than two hours. I try golden razz to keep everyone in but we eventually get kicked out. I then see three low level 30 people go in who's names I don't recognize from the local discord group. Since I was still physically at the gym, I kicked them out without much fuss and put my Blissey in. Almost immediately it gets attacked but I don't see anyone around so I figure it may be a spoofer which would be odd if it were those level 30 guys. Anyways, I stretch out my golden razz usage to keep my Blissey in. This goes on for almost 10 minutes at which point I decide to go to another group of gyms in the hopes of finding some that I can drop my 'mons off to get tomorrow's coin allotment. I manage to find two and then called it a night. All the while I fought to keep my Blissey in as I have over 200 golden razzes that I can burn and the jerk needs to be taught that they can't go around kicking people out of gyms who barely have much time in the gym not expect reprisal. Plus, I was already home and it was trivial to keep an eye on my Blissey at that point.

Now I feel sorry for the poor sap because it looks like they were struggling against that one Blissey. Mind you it's only CP 2455 with Zen Headbutt and Hyper Beam but it got 7 battle victories and it took some time for them to beat it only for me to power it back up. It took so long that that by the time I hit the 10 berry limit it was already half an hour and I could berry them again. After 20 golden razzes and 1 hour 10 minutes, I think they finally gave up. Now I feel both dirty and pity.

In a similar vein, I saw a gym nearby getting attacked yesterday, and noticed the Pokemon had barely been in there 15 minutes. I went around the stops looking for a Cubone research quest (didn't find one), expecting that the attacker would be who I'd expect and sure enough, it was. It's a specific guy in my area who attacks gyms that have barely had Pokemon in for long, and only ones that are within driving range. I went over and took down his Blissey easily enough, and upon returning home, looked like most of the people who were in there earlier got theirs back in. He never attacked back (I assume he'd driven off at that point?), and it was left alone long enough that I got 50 coins today.

I know there's no in-game rules about flipping gyms whenever you want, but man do I hate people that take gyms right back after I clear out day-old defenders. Thanks for the 1 coin, rear end in a top hat! :argh:

I'm not getting golden razzberries like I used to so I can't troll people that continue to do that as much anymore. It's like, go find another gym where everything is dying so people can get their coin and you get a spot, its not hard.

Definitely hope they do at least 2 weeks for whenever Ray makes it back into the mix(a month would be cool, Niantic, just saying). I had totally forgotten the Rayquaza window was so short, I'm amazed I got a 100.

Already had one person in our local group get their shiny Groudon. Hoping the odds are fairly good, so I can try to do a couple every day since I have leftover passes.

We can trio Groudon, especially if it's sunny or rainy. Kyogre is tough with blizzard.
