Do you have a Smacktar? Or a Rhyperior? Crobat should die super fast to either, especially if you get a Stone Edge.

I have seen the light of Smack Down Tyranitar and will be bringing them out of retirement as they seem to give Rocket grunts swirlies in the toilet and atomic wedgies.

But the grunt said something that made me think he was fighting-type, so I brought the psychic types. My mewtwo got ganked by a golbat in literally five hits.

My Thunderbolt Mewtwo absolutely destroys any Team Rocket trainer with Zubat/Crobat, but pretty much any strong Rock type like Rhyperior or powerful Electric dudes like Electivire or Luxray will murder them in seconds, yeah. I've had more trouble and close calls with Snorlax and Blastoise compared to any other Shadow Pokemon.

Mesadoram posted:I am rolling 3 ttars. 1 smack the other 2 are bite. The dps on bite is kinda nutso Bite's among the highest DPS (really DPT, Damage Per Turn) fast moves in PvP. Tied with Dragon Breath, Confusion, Waterfall, Smack Down, and a few others. Only gets beat by Razor Leaf (which is ridic). Energy gain on it sucks, though, so you can get caught in a situation where you can't build up a charge move to turn things around, which is one of the reasons PvP people tend not to like it much (the other reason is PvP is full of Fighting types, and Counter is super good). It'll work great on the mostly-monotyped grunts, though.

BGrifter posted:So I ordered a replacement with two day shipping with Amazon figuring I’ll return it if I get a fraudulent one. I wish these things were more durable. They die waaaaaaaaaay too easily. Welp, it's a fake. Submitted my return request and I'll have to put it back in the mail. Guess I'm ordering from Codejunkies and waiting a month for it to arrive again.

They're not on the BestBuy Canada website, but I'll swing by the mall and check them/EBStop just on the off chance there's one kicking around. I submitted a support ticket to Codemasters detailing all the things I've tried over the last month to revive my dead one. It lasted less than eight months, and ordering them direct from Codemasters costs almost $60 CAD between currency conversion and shipping. Even if they just offered me a couple bucks off buying a replacement I'd be happy with that.

Epi Lepi posted:Anyone else in North America notice that raid hours were extended? Normally raids expire at 7:30 but my friend and I duo’d a marowak that ended after 8. Anyone know what the new end time is? Is this a thing in North America? I ask because I think the raids in Germany are a bit strange. For example, it’s 11:10 PM right now and there are two active raids that I can see. Also, for whatever reason, I notice that around 6-7 AM pretty much every gym will have an egg on it.

America raid hours are (roughly) 6am and tend to stop spawning eggs at round 5:45, making the last straggling raids tend to end at 7:30 at the latest. Every once in a great while I'll see odd ducks that don't finish until 8 or later, but they're extremely uncommon.

Gearman posted:Target went out of business in your area but you still have Toys R Us? Do you live in some alternate timeline? I'm in Canada at the moment!  Today was the first day I've been off so I was able to get out and do a bit of the Team Rocket stuff. I have to admit it's a really clever idea and I'm digging the concept, even if there are a couple rough edges that need sanding off. It'd be great if the Team Rocket controlled stops were a bit easier to distinguish while looking at the map. The number of Pokeballs feels a bit on the stingy side too. But after my first Zubat ran away I've successfully caught the last five including an above average Dratini so that's nice. Looking at my ten assorted potions, fifteen revives, 241 Rare Candy and 835 base Pokeballs for when I get a replacement Go-Tcha has me feeling a little bad right now though. Need to build up a stock of potions and revives ASAP.

So the Official GO Twitter is seeming to be hinting with some "images" it's posted that something's coming this weekend.  (If you're having trouble viewing them, I've been told that messing with the brightness settings on your phone/computer can help.) What that something is exactly is up for debate but it's very heavily hinted to be something involving Giovanni starting on 7/28.

Here's a good site for keeping track of events. Says Blanche's special rewards should go live on the 14th Aug which is a Wednesday, so I'm guessing the raid day will be later that week on Saturday or Sunday. EDIT: RE Rocket shenanigans, this countdown has appeared on the POGO youtube page https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkTNzBkyMHw Dragonstoned fucked around with this message at 11:11 on Jul 27, 2019 |
